Looking for Hot Air Balloon Rides in South Africa? We want to make it as easy as possible for you. There are quite a few hot air balloon companies in the country, and most of them are actually in Gauteng. However this does not mean that there are not options if you are from other parts of the country, such as the Western Cape or KZN. In Guateng quite a few hot air ballooning companies are actually owned and managed by the same company (Bill Harrop's), but there are some independent ones. When choosing to go for hot air balloon rides, remember that safety comes first, so if the pilot feels that the weather conditions are not perfect, they will cancel the flight. You will typically either receive a full refund, or the option of booking another date for your hot air balloon ride. Also, you should note that winter is the preferred time of year fro hot air ballooning, owing to the cooler weather, as this makes it easier to control the air balloon and to gain the required lift.

Jason Statham has enjoyed remarkable success in Hollywood for an actor who can't do American accents. He shows that he can't, too, when in this violent crime thriller he briefly masquerades as a Texas oil baron. Oof.
Based on a novel by Donald E Westlake (d.2008) it has Statham as the eponymous Parker, a hardnut and bank robber who turns vengeful after his crew double-cross him. He's not entirely beyond the pale – when he shoots a security guard in the leg, he promises to call an ambulance for him on the road. What a gent!
The action winds up among the super-rich of Palm Beach, where our hero happens upon an ally in Jennifer Lopez's needy estate agent. Taylor Hackford handles the bloody mayhem with journeyman efficiency.

LOUISVILLE - Kentucky's U.S. Senate candidates had a hard time talking about farming without slinging mud.
Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell and Democratic challenger Alison Lundergan Grimes took turns attacking each other in a cramped board room of the Kentucky Farm Bureau on Wednesday in the candidates' first joint question-and-answer session of the contentious campaign.
Grimes set the tone early by attacking McConnell in her opening statement for his prolonged absences from the Senate Agriculture Committee. By not showing up, Grimes said, McConnell diluted his influence, which led to his inability to stop the lapse in the federal farm bill last year that provided crop insurance for Kentucky farmers.
"When it comes to the Agriculture Committee, did Sen. McConnell bother to show up?" Grimes said. "No, for nearly three years he has missed every Agriculture Committee meeting."
The McConnell campaign noted after the forum that crop insurance was not affected by the lapse, citing a report from the Congressional Research Service.
And McConnell, the Senate's top-ranking Republican, quickly shot back at the forum that the farm bill he eventually helped pass was a good deal but "it's probably not as good a deal as a $400 a day tour bus," a reference to the campaign bus Grimes rented from her father's company that the McConnell campaign has said could be a potential illegal campaign gift.
McConnell also tried to blunt the criticism for missing committee meetings. He told reporters afterward: "I think she doesn't really understand the legislative process. If you're the leader of one of the parties, you have more consequential things to do than simply go to hearings." He added he would not resign from his committees because he wants to preserve his vote.
Grimes, meanwhile, tried to defuse the flap over her campaign's bus rental, saying it was the result of "baseless, bullying accusations" from McConnell's camp.
During their face-to-face encounter, McConnell criticized Grimes for not giving a straight answer to a question about international trade agreements, pointing out that Grimes' Democratic mentors and supporters oppose such agreements that would benefit Kentucky farmers.
"You just heard him think that I somehow didn't directly answer (the) question. Senator, I do speak for myself. Women aren't supposed to just be seen, we will be heard," Grimes said before saying she supports free and fair trade agreements.
Agriculture leaders from across Kentucky asked about immigration reform for migrant workers, water supply for drying farmlands and a tax deduction that benefits farmers who purchase heavy equipment.
But despite the pointed questions, the candidates' answers routinely found their way back to the same themes: McConnell saying a vote for Grimes would be a vote for President Barack Obama's policies and Grimes saying McConnell's 30 years in the Senate have done nothing for Kentucky.
"We do these in every race and really and truly this one was pretty mild from what we sometimes expect and hear out there," Farm Bureau President Mark Haney said. "I thought both campaigns came in well-versed on agriculture issues. They understood the questions that we asked and gave us the opportunity to explain our policy and then fielded the question from a very appropriate angle."
The candidates did disagree on some tax issues, with McConnell saying an expired tax deduction on heavy farm equipment would likely be extended for another two years. But Grimes called for the Senate to make the deduction permanent to "give our farmers cash flow to do their family business."
On immigration, Grimes blamed McConnell's opposition to last year's bipartisan Senate immigration bill as the cause for the "crisis at the border today" with the influx of children placing a burden on the United States immigration enforcement.
"He said 'no' to thousands of troops securing our borders. He said 'no' to making sure we could have an earned pathway to citizenship," she said.
McConnell said he supports legal immigration but not comprehensive immigration reform, adding that "sometimes we don't do comprehensive well," pointing to the voluminous federal health care law as an example.
"What is holding back immigration right now is American people's legitimate concern the federal government is simply unwilling to secure the borders. And so it ruins the environment for improving legal immigration," McConnell said. "I support legal immigration. We need to make some changes in it. It needs to be more merit based, we need to tilt it toward people who can immediately be productive in our country and make a difference."
Wednesday's forum was a warmup for the statewide televised debate on Oct. 13.

Henderson Delighted to Be Back Friday, 1st Feb 2013 16:04 Returning loan keeper Stephen Henderson is delighted to be back at Portman Road, having signed a loan until the end of the season prior to yesterday's deadline. The West Ham keeper looks likely to start when Middlesbrough are in Suffolk on Saturday afternoon. Henderson told the club site: "It was a bit of a mental day yesterday but fortunately it all got done in the end and I'm delighted to be back here. "I spoke to the manager here and he told me he was keen for me to come back and I wanted to come back. "I had a word with Sam Allardyce as well. Sam knows that I want to go out and play games and I'm grateful to West Ham for giving me the opportunity to do that at Ipswich. "I know I had some tough times at the start of my first spell here when we let in five and six. I looked at those games to see what went wrong from my end and coming through that period has made me mentally stronger." The Irishman, whose loan deal includes a 24-hour recall clause, says he gets on well with fellow keepers Scott Loach and Arran Lee-Barrett: "It's good to be back working on the training ground again with Scott and Arran. They are great lads. "We're competing for only one place in the team. That's the hard part of being a goalkeeper but you need that competition at any club. "Scott was fully behind me when I was in the team and he knows I'll be supporting him if he gets the nod." Please report offensive, libellous or inappropriate posts by using the links provided.

Absentee Balloting Up Slightly
2002: 198,341 total votes cast (absentee ballot numbers N.A.)
1998: 205,242 total votes cast (10,449 absentee ballots/5.09%)
1994: 199,134 total votes cast (10,225 absentee ballots/5.13%)
1990: 197,997 total votes cast (10,025 absentee ballots/5.09%)
As of the May, 2006 primary, there were 614,583 registered voters in Marion County. In the last general off-year election in 2002, there were 549,086 registered voters in Marion County. It should be pointed out that the clean-up of the statewide voter registration database this past summer resulted in about 553,000 registered voters statewide being purged from the active voter registration list, or about 10% of all registered voters. The actual active number of registered voters in Marion County is probably much closer to the 2002 number. It didn't make sense to me that no absentee ballot numbers would be available for 2002, but that's what the Election Board's website indicates.
To the extent that the number of actual absentee ballots is predictive of voter turnout, indications are that voter turnout might be up this year compared to recent off-year elections, although not as much as some might think given the current perceived atmosphere of voter discontent. It's also possible that more people are voting absentee this fall because of uncertainty over the state's new voter ID law.
3 comments:
I'm really amazed it's not up even more than you indicate it is so far. Considering this is the proposed solution to "bypass" the Voter ID law.
Marion County Election Board Meeting Minutes
Administrator update. Robert Vane gave the following absentee statistics from previous
elections: 4,096 from the Primary of 2004 and 8,801 from the General of 2003. He projected
that we would receive between 25,000 and 30,000 absentee ballots this election and stated he
would order more absentee ballot applications. - 10:28 PM GMT-5
Dang - I just saw it was 2004 !
Sorry. - 10:29 PM GMT-5

An American political party was organized in 1869 whose chief aim was the abolition of the liquor traffic. Five hundred men and women delegates gathered in Farwell Hall, Chicago, Ill. September 1, 1869 to form a new political party. James Black of Pennsylvania was selected as the first presidential candidate of the new party at a national convention held in 1872 in Columbus, Ohio.
Prohibition Candidates for President 1880-1904.
Prohibition candidates for president 1908-1928.
Unlike the Prohibition Party, the Anti-Saloon League believed in working within the existing party system and did not desire to form its own separate political party.

The Dan Joseph Ensemble was founded in 2001 by New York-based composer Dan Joseph as a vehicle for his growing body of post-minimal experimental compositions. With a unique instrumentation anchored by hammer dulcimer and harpsichord, a mix of winds, strings and percussion, the ensemble sound is harmonically rich and deeply resonant, evoking a musical world both old and new; ancient and modern. The ensemble's core members include Tom Chiu (violin), Loren Dempster (cello), Marija Ilic (harpsichord), Danny Tunick (percussion) and the composer on hammer dulcimer and conducting. Musicians who have joined the group throughout it's history include clarinetists Michael Lowenstern, Katie Porter, Meighan Stoops, Matt Ingalls, Daniel Goode, JD Parran and Anthony Burr, flutists Leah Paul and Amelia Lukas, harpists Shelley Burgon and Bridget Kibbey, keyboardists Jed Distler and Aya Hamada, and guitarist Gyan Riley.
6/14/15 – Barbès, Brooklyn Various press quotes for Tonalization (for the afterlife) CD (Mutable Music, 2011) The folk element in this recording, however, is a strong presence. The intelligent orchestration, highlighted by the dulcimer elicits a warmth and humanity not found in Glass or Adams. The blend of string instruments, plucked, struck, and bowed, with the added color of flute and marimba, provide rich colors that enhance each repetition of the composer's intriguing melodic fragments. Fanfare (USA) This outstanding 2009 composition occupies 33 minutes of the release, and it's a glorious arrangement in pure simplicity….This is music of such declared honesty and transparency that it's the exact opposite of the way the world currently conducts itself. The Sound Projector (UK) The album is one of the many exclamation marks in this outlook on Mutable Music's releases from the past year. Tidningen Kulturen (Sweden), November, 2011 But the title piece, taking up half the CD is an absolute great work if you like minimal music in the true classical sense. Vital Weekly (USA) November, 2011 Various press quotes for Archaea CD (Mutable Music, 2006) "Archaea is an intriguing contemporary minimalist album……a sophisticated and beautifully performed personal expression……as vibrant as Phillip Glass's early works: it is fresh, young, and perfectly straddles that fine line of pop new music on which Glass, Riley, Reich, Hassel, Eno, and others rode to fame in the 1960s and '70s……a great way to introduce new composition to younger ears, and to lighten the soul of the jaded listener." Musicworks (Canada)
"I put this on an was transported…….The first reference was the Penguin Café Orchestra – the sound, vibrancy, joy and tempo. Then I realised that this was minimalism of a high order…….. A fabulous album." "Through and through, this is an outstanding release." GAZ-ETA | recenzje (Poland)
"For Joseph, Archaea knocks one out of the park, meeting Mutable Music's worthy goal of releasing music that will "engage the mind and the heart," as well as providing an example of everything that can go deliciously right with minimalist work." Startling Moniker (USA) "What is clear to me in Dan Joseph's pieces is how he tries different ideas of minimalism….the performance by the group is brilliant, precise and fluent at the same time. Especially the first two pieces show rewarding and fresh ideas." Radioshow "PSYCHE v/h FOLK." (Belgium) |

The game was lost in the last 4-5 minutes when EG decided to go all 1 on 5 and turned it over twice leading directly to 2 Spurs layups. Sure Monty should have come up with a better play to get him the ball, but when he does not have the play to make its EG's responsibility to pass the ball. I would like to see EG's offensive skills better integrated into the team offense. It seems like most of what he gets is 1 on 1 or more. Rivers is playing good D.
« Hornets @ Spurs
The New Orleans Pelicans »
Spurs pick and then roll Hornets
In the first half, neither team was really stopping the other. Vasquez was finding the roll man or Eric Gordon was drilling every shot he put up. On the flip side, Tony Parker tore the Lopez-Vasquez pick and roll defense to pieces. Again and again, Parker would get into space and pull back, Lopez would get stuck in no mans land – neither near parker, nor near Splitter, and parker would find Splitter for a layup. After layup, after layup . . . there's a reason why Splitter went 10-11 for 25 points.
Of course, I want to say that changed when other players got on the floor, but it didn't materially. Jason Smith did a much better job, but there wasn't really any slowing Parker. The result was back and forth basketball, fun to watch, but the whole time I had a knot growing in my stomach. The Hornets weren't pulling away while scoring like mad, and I didn't think they had this offense in them in the second half.
Then the second half hit, and both teams cooled off dramatically. The Spurs were still manufacturing open threes but missing them. The Hornets stopped being able to get anything going to the basket, and in general stopped hitting shots unless Jason Smith was taking it. They still managed to keep within distance of the Spurs by hitting the offensive glass hard.
Then the fourth quarter hit, and we all got a taste of San Antonio when they decide to play all out. The Spurs defense kicked up another notch. Vasquez couldn't make headway off his pick and rolls and Eric Gordon couldn't get anything going. Oh, and I mean anything. You want to know why he ended with 8 shots? It was because he couldn't get any off in the fourth. He kept getting cut off, pushed off balance, and either coughed up a turnover or had to pass it out under pressure, gaining no advantage for the Hornets. It was pretty crushing. Only Vasquez's huge balls and pair of threes off the dribble staved off a complete collapse, and Monty had had enough with 1:42 to go and the Hornets falling behind by 12. He pulled his closing five and inserted the bench, who attacked defensively, drilled some damn lucky threes, forced some turnovers, and suddenly put it back to a 4 point game.
There wasn't enough time, though, and the Spurs finished the game hitting their free throws.
- Aminu was playing a great game up until he missed three point blank shots at the rim. If he could have just put those down, I'd be singing his praises for his energy, hustle, rebounding and defense.
- Lopez started in the third, but after he spent that stint getting torched in the pick and roll and couldn't get his post up game going against Splitter, he was pulled and left on the bench.
- Davis started the game strong, but got into foul trouble only four minutes in and never really regained his equilibrium. Still, he had one gorgeous block of a step-back jumper from Parker that was impressive as hell.
- Jason Smith was a monster out there, hitting shots and changing the tone of the defense. Twice though, I saw him holding that bum shoulder and grimacing. It's now an every game occurrence.
- Speaking of Grimacing, Vasquez has some of the best grimaces in the game. Dude is always gnashing his teeth about something. Oh, and both his alley-oops to Aminu were absolutely sick tonight. Dead money passes, one from half court, and one a flip pass over his head. Guy is just a workhorse who never gives up, never surrenders.
- Austin Rivers was running the point the majority of the time with the second unit tonight, even with Roberts on the floor. Out of 18 possessions, Rivers brought up the ball and started the offense on 14 of them. Of course, he still couldn't make a shot . . .
That was a tough one, but it was against one of the best teams on the road, and the Hornets fought to the end. Let's see what the team can do at home Friday against Harden and the Rockets.

While Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is "preparing for many mediocre years" of European sales, there may be a silver lining for the company.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Ghosn focused on Southeast Asia as the next hot spot. Along with Indonesia and Vietnam, "Myanmar may be the star of future," he said. South America and Africa were also mentioned, though specific countries weren't mentioned.
Europe remains Ghosn's biggest concern, though Ghosn said that "will not see any kind of Armageddon". With Dacia sales remaining strong, Ghosn has a hedge against Renault's flagging fortunes – and sources say that Dacia remains the only profitably "low cost" car – the launch of Datsun will be a test of how well Nissan can hang on to their low-cost magic.

A university student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombing was captured hiding out in a boat parked in a backyard Friday and his older brother lay dead in a furious 24-hour drama that transfixed Americans and paralyzed the Boston area.
The bloody endgame came four days after the bombing and just a day after the FBI released surveillance-camera images of two young men suspected of planting the pressure-cooker explosives that ripped through the crowd at the marathon finish line, killing three people and wounding more than 180.

The two men were identified by authorities and relatives as ethnic Chechens from southern Russia who had been in the U.S. for about a decade and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Massachusetts. But investigators gave no details on the motive for the bombing.
Early Friday morning, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a ferocious gunbattle and car chase during which he and his younger brother hurled explosives at police from a stolen car, authorities said. The younger brother managed to escape.
During the getaway attempt, the brothers killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology policeman and severely wounded another officer, authorities said.
After a tense tumultuous all-day manhunt and house-to-house search by thousands of elite police team officers with rifles and armored vehicles, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, was cornered in a homeowner's yard, where he exchanged gunfire with police while holed up in a boat, authorities said.
He was taken away on a stretcher and was hospitalized in serious condition with unspecified injuries, police said.
Boston police announced via Twitter that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in custody. They later wrote: "CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
A cheer went up from a crowd of bystanders in the Boston suburb of Watertown.
President Barack Obama said the capture closes "an important chapter in this tragedy," but acknowledged that many unanswered questions remain about the bombings, including the motivations of the two men and whether they had help from others.
"We will determine what happened," he said. "We will investigate any association that these terrorists may have had, and we'll continue to do whatever we have to do to keep our people safe."
Police said three other people were taken into custody for questioning at an off-campus housing complex at the University of the Massachusetts at Dartmouth where the younger man may have lived.
Up until the younger man's capture, it was looking like a grim day for police. As night fell, they announced that they were scaling back the hunt because they had come up empty-handed.
But then a break came in a Watertown neighborhood when a homeowner saw blood on his boat, pulled back the tarp and saw the bloody suspect inside, police said.
"Tonight, our family applauds the entire law enforcement community for a job well done, and trust that our justice system will now do its job," said the family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the bombing.
Also killed in the attack was a Chinese student.
Chechnya has been the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
The older brother had strong political views about the United States, said Albrecht Ammon, 18, a downstairs-apartment neighbor in Cambridge. Ammon quoted Tsarnaev as saying that the U.S. uses the Bible as "an excuse for invading other countries."
Also, the FBI interviewed the older brother at the request of a foreign government in 2011, and nothing derogatory was found, according to a federal law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The official did not identify the foreign country or say why it made the request.
The FBI was swamped with tips after the release of the surveillance-camera photos — 300,000 per minute — but what role those played in the capture was unclear. State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told a carjacking victim during their long night of crime.
The search for the younger brother all but paralyzed the Boston area for much of the day. Officials shut down all mass transit, including Amtrak trains to New York, advised businesses not to open, and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay inside and unlock their doors only for uniformed police.
Around midday, the suspects' uncle Ruslan Tsarni, of Maryland, pleaded on television: "Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness."
Authorities said the man dubbed Suspect No. 1 — the one in sunglasses and a dark baseball cap in the surveillance-camera pictures — was Tamerlan Tsarnaev, while Suspect No. 2, the one in a white baseball cap worn backward, was his younger brother.
Exactly how the long night of crime began was unclear. But police said the brothers stole a Mercedes-Benz in Cambridge then released the driver unharmed at a gas station.
They also shot to death an MIT police officer who was responding to a report of a disturbance, investigators said.
The search for the Mercedes led to a chase that ended in Watertown, where authorities said the suspects threw explosive devices from the car and exchanged gunfire with police. A transit police officer was shot and critically wounded, authorities said.
Some 200 spent shells were found afterward.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev somehow slipped away. He ran over his already wounded brother as he fled, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. At some point, he abandoned his car and ran away.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev died at a Boston hospital after suffering what doctors said were multiple gunshot wounds and a possible blast injury.
The brothers had built an arsenal of pipe bombs, grenades and improvised explosive devices and used some of the weapons in trying to make their getaway, said Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, a member of the House Intelligence Committee.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev had studied accounting as a part-time student at Bunker Hill Community College in Boston for three semesters from 2006 to 2008, the school said.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was registered as a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. Students said he was on campus this week after the Boston Marathon bombing. The campus closed down Friday along with colleges around the Boston area.
The men's father, Anzor Tsarnaev, said in a telephone interview with AP from the Russian city of Makhachkala that his younger son, Dzhokhar, is "a true angel." He said his son was studying medicine.
"He is such an intelligent boy," the father said. "We expected him to come on holidays here."
The city of Cambridge announced two years ago that it had awarded a $2,500 scholarship to him. At the time, he was a senior at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School, a highly regarded public school whose alumni include Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and basketball Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing.
Tsarni, the men's uncle, said the brothers traveled here together from Russia. He called his nephews "losers" and said they had struggled to settle in the U.S. and ended up "thereby just hating everyone."
Shortly before Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's capture, the White House said Obama had spoken by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin about the investigation.
Obama "praised the close cooperation that the United States has received from Russia on counter-terrorism, including in the wake of the Boston attack," the White House said in a statement.

Godolphin threw down the gauntlet on the opening of day of the Dubai Carnival with two runners who recently emerged from a six-month ban resulting from the Mahmood al-Zarooni steroid scandal – and were instantly rewarded in Round One of the appropriately named Al-Maktoum Challenge, but with a filly beyond reproach in Shuruq.
The Saeed bin Suroor-trained four-year-old, a Listed and Group Three winner at the Carnival last year, lost her form on turf in Britain last summer and was last seen languishing in the rear alongside the damp dunes of the North Denes in a Listed contest at Yarmouth's Eastern Meeting. Back at the more congenial oasis of Meydan, she set a track record for a mile on the tapeta surface.
Steeler, one of 22 Godolphin horses barred from racing after being administered anabolic steroids by Zarooni, finished fourth after being sent off 3-1 favourite, whether or not in misplaced expectation of illicit improvement on his form when last seen finishing third to Kingsbarns in the Racing Post Trophy in October 2012, when trained by Mark Johnston. Artigiano, the other of Zarooni's victims to return, ran third in a Listed contest.
Charlie Appleby, who took over Zarooni's string last summer after the trainer was banned for eight years for his misdeeds, trained two handicap winners on the card.
Solwhit, the winner of last season's World Hurdle at Cheltenham, has been ruled out of this year's Festival. The 10-year-old had missed his planned reappearance at Leopardstown just after Christmas owing to a fetlock injury. Trainer Charles Byrnes will try to prepare Solwhit for Aintree or Punchestown later in the spring.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Toonley Early OriginsThe surname Toonley was first found in Lancashire where they were descended from Spartlingus, the first Dean of Whalley about 896 A.D. Descended was Liwlphus, Cudwlphus, Henricus the great Baron of Whalley. He was followed by Robertus, Geoffrey who married the daughter of Roger de Lacy, Constable of Cheshire in 1193. "An estate in Lancashire, which belonged to this ancient and distinguished family, whose pedigree is said to be traced to the time of King Alfred, and to Spartlingus, first Dean of Whalley, who flourished about the year 896. The line of this personage terminated with an heiress, Cecilia of Towneley, in the XIV. century, who married John del Legh, and conveyed the estate to his family. He died in or about 1330, and his great-grandson resumed the ancient surname of Towneley. John del Legh was a cadet of the great Cheshire family of that name. Towneley Hall is still the seat of this race, who may well challenge comparison in point of venerable antiquity with any family in England."

Of course, N?rburgring lap times have often had the scientific basis of Tony Abbott?s views of global warming, but the bickering between the two significant automotive claimants does provide rare and apparently endless entertainment.
Half a world away in Australia, the bragging battle is creating an Eifel mountain of confusion among the punters. Which to believe? Which do you want to believe? Some are relishing seeing a premium European brand in the gun sights of a Japanese upstart. No doubt, too, that the GT-R is a cult hero model Down Under.
With this history in mind, but the N?rburgring being just too far away, Drive headed to Sydney?s Western Sydney International Dragway with examples of the current Nissan GT-R and Porsche?s 911 Turbo S ? all-wheel-drive coupes both, with similar capacity 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged six-cylinder powerplants, but not much else in common other than astonishing, brutal performance. The aim: to see how their respective factory acceleration claims stack up.
In essence, we were out to validate (or question) the claimed times for the 0-100km/h burst and the 400-metre (or quarter-mile) drag strip dash.
Up first is the 911 Turbo S with stunning vital statistics: stuffed in its curvy tush is a 3.8-litre flat six-cylinder of 412kW at 6500-6750rpm and maximum torque of 700Nm at 2100-4250rpm (and 750Nm at overboost). It?s all-wheel-drive of course, with a seven-speed dual-clutch (PDK) with paddle shift and torque vectoring control.
Its whopping price tag of $441,300 plus on-road costs reflects the performance, technology, premium appointments and a high expectation of rock-solid reliability.
The Porsche?s launch control preparation is remarkably simple: just press the Sport+ button on the console.
With the lever in D, the routine is left foot hard on the brake and right hard on the accelerator. There?s about 5600rpm on the tacho. Release the brake pedal, and the next few seconds are a scenery-moving blur. The reaction is instant, and ferocious yet civilised. It squats and is O-U-T-A-H-E-R-E; the driver?s head and torso squashed back into the snug seat.
Onlookers remark later how the front end lifts on its suspension and stays nose up/bum down as the 911 disappears down the strip. There is some mild initial wheel spin, a little snaky action (controlled by the electronics), great accompanying exhaust sounds and the rest is a flurry of tacho action and blurred scenery, the needle flipping to the redline at every shift.
The numbers we?re chasing for the Porsche are the factory?s claims of 3.1 seconds for the sprint to 100km/h and 11.0 seconds to cover 400 metres.
The 911 Turbo nails it on the first run - 3.1 seconds for the first bit, and 11.0 seconds for the 400 metres, hitting 206km/h as it crosses the line. That?s blazingly, erotically quick and we?re reminded again that Porsche tends to be realistic, even conservative, with its performance claims.
We do a few repeat runs because we enjoy the experience. The Porsche is amazingly consistent. It?s no shock to learn that one American magazine did 50 launch control acceleration runs using the 911 Turbo, without a hiccup.
Now it?s the turn of the $182,000 (plus on-roads) Nissan, with its V6 engine up front belting out 404kW at 6400rpm with maximum torque of 628Nm available between 3200-5800rpm, the punchy powerplant doing its thing through a rear-mounted transaxle integrating the six-speed dual-clutch transmission, differential and Attesa E-TS AWD transfer case.
For our purposes, all we need to know was the R-Mode launch control process, which involves holding three dash-mounted switches for a few seconds until they indicate red.
The driver then snicks the shifter into auto, and with the left foot hard on the brake pedal, flattens the accelerator. The engine?s response to this is to dial up an optimal circa-4000rpm.
The exhaust note sounds unenthusiastic. But with the front wheels pointing straight and the brake pedal hurriedly released ? POW! In an instant, the GT-R rockets out of the blocks, tyres scratching for traction, the auto upshifting at the redline ? second, third, fourth?.
The timer tells the tale. It?s 3.4 seconds for 0-100km/h, and 11.4 seconds at 199km/h for the standing 400 metres.
That?s quick but it?s considerably slower than the Nissan factory claim of 2.7 seconds to 100km/h. Not even close.
We try another run. And another and another. And then the GT-R, clearly not relishing the punishment, slips quietly into some form of limp mode. That?s the best we?re going to produce.
While this is a simple drag-strip challenge, it?s important to acknowledge the huge disparity in prices. The reasons for that difference is evident in the driving. On the road, the Nissan is raw and noisy and even uncomfortable, with a sharp ride. It feels like more of a race track car, with nicely contoured sports seats, but also with a snatchy and grumpy driveline, a tuneless engine note, and lumpy steering that ?tramlines? on all but perfect surfaces. Despite a Kevlar-look console finish and lashings of leather, the GT-R?s cabin, with its impressive array of gauges and switches, looks far from expensive.
The Porsche exudes quality, has styling that won?t date and, even in this era of electronic aids, still allows its expressive character to shine and delight. It feels complete. By comparison, the GT-R, as brilliantly competent as it is, appears clinical and programmed.
It?s worth noting that despite its ferocious, unworldly acceleration the 911 Turbo S will also trundle around the ?burbs at 800rpm and return a fuel figure of 9.7 litres per 100km (claimed). Compare this with the Nissan?s 11.7/100km.
Though our dragway duel doesn?t mean a lot in the context of historical bragging rights at the N?rburgring, it does suggest that the current 911 Turbo S accelerates faster than the current GT-R. And that Porsche?s performance assertions can be validated easily, while there is doubt over the veracity of Nissan?s claims.

PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. (MarketWatch) — The stock market is behaving like it is Alice in Wonderland: what is good is bad and what is bad is good.
The market's fixation du jour is interest rates. As if rates were not low enough these days, the equities crowd wants to see them go even lower.
Not short-term rates, mind you; they are already close to zero. No, Virginia, I am referring to long-term interest rates, the kind you find in the bond market.
To give you an idea how much Wall Street wants rates to decline, traders sell stocks when something happens that suggests that yields will not fall; they switch to the buy side when rates do drop.
date | report | forecast | previous |
Aug. 13 | Retail sales | 0.3% | 0.2% |
Aug. 13 | Retail sales ex-autos | 0.4% | 0.4% |
Aug. 15 | Producer price index | 0.3% | 0.4% |
Aug. 15 | Empire state index | 26.0 | 25.6 |
Aug. 15 | Industrial production | 0.3% | 0.2% |
Aug. 15 | Consumer sentiment | 82.0 | 81.8 |
Sounds reasonable at first blush — but it is not. This is because when interest rates do decline, it is for a reason that in the harsh light of day may not be necessarily good for stocks.
Rates can fall because the Federal Reserve deliberately pushes them lower by massive purchases of Treasurys as it did under QE1 and QE2. Then, the market rallied while the central bank's buying program was in effect — but it fell once these purchases were completed.
Last week stocks swooned after the minutes of the latest Fed meeting suggested that the money mavens were not on the verge of embarking on QE3. Apparently officials believe that the economy is strong enough that it does not need additional support from the central bank.
The weaker-than-expected employment figures released last Friday only served to sour the market's mood on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.20% fell 1% to close below 13,000 for the first time in a month.
Bond rates can also decline if private investors buy bonds in the expectation that their prices will rise as their yields decline.
Whatever the case, both the Fed and private investors appear to be motivated by a rather dark view of the economy. The Fed wants to keep the outlook from getting darker while bond buyers apparently believe that the state of the economy already justifies lower rates.
Opinion: Economy losing steam?
Editorial page editor Paul Gigot gives his thoughts on the March jobs report.
In other words — falling interest rates reflect an economy that is weak and getting weaker. And just in case you forgot, a weak economy usually means puny profits, less dividends and falling stock prices.
That said, you would think traders would be more anxious to sell than to buy when interest rates fall. You would be wrong, since they are doing the exact opposite.
The next question is why people buy stocks when rates go down.
Maybe they like the dividend yields that lower stock prices produce compared with what they can get on fixed-income securities. They might also be looking ahead to the stimulative effects of all that money injected by the Fed, along with lower rates.
But this is the future; in the here and now the economy is weak.
If traders are looking over the valley to the peak beyond, they had better be careful. The next peak could be further away than it looks.
Ever hear of Death Valley?

Inspection Detection is the fourth episode of Season 2.
Timmy has all the things that have been stolen and his mom and dad accuses him of shop lifting and at the same time can't reveal the existence of Cosmo and Wanda. Unfortunately, Jorgen comes for an inspection for Cosmo and Wanda and if they fail they will be sent to the fairy academy. Timmy must prove his innocence and prove that Cosmo and Wanda are fulfilling their responsibilities as his fairy god parents…
While having a cereal and milk breakfast contest, Mr and Mrs Turner watch a news report saying that the Wall 2 Wall Mart has been shoplifted and a few shop items have been stolen, including a Crimson Chin life size wax replica, a computer, a snowmobile and a Basketball. Timmy inadvertedly passes with all of those things. Suspiciously, the Turners go to his room to question him. But Timmy is only having the things he needs so he can make his Fairy Godparents pass an important inspection. Timmy tries convincing his parents that he bought the things through Internet but they accept no excuse because they don't have any Internet. However, he can't tell he was granted the things as a wish because he'll have his fairies disappear forever. just when things couldn't have gone any worse, Jorgen Von Strangle appeared to begin inspectioning Cosmo & Wanda. taking Timmy's unhappy face as the failed first step he marks an F in Happiness, and warns them that if they fail all the steps they'll be taken away from their godchild and will be sent to the Fairy Academy to train for 1000 years. Just then, the Turners call Timmy downstairs to inspection him. he then orders his fairies to distract Jorgen while he's gone. Downstairs, his parents try asking him if he is the shoplifter. as prove that he is not he takes out his lie detector. they ask where did he get it, he says from Internet and the detector blows his lie. In order to take drastic medities, they send him to a real police inspection along with other suspects like Chester,A.J and Francis. Seeing in Francis's pocket that he stole a communicator without paying,he tries to convince them that he (Francis) is the real shoplifter but they still don't believe him. So he escapes with the help of Chester & AJ. At first, they promise that they'll help him get out of this one, but then the police spots them, they blame Timmy and cowardly run off. Back at the house,Cosmo & Wanda are still being inspectioned by Jorgen talking about their vacations worldwide, and their recent fears of him. They then turn on the TV and watch a news report about Timmy who's being blamed for being the shoplifter.

Russian warships have dropped anchor off the coast of Gaza in the case that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict escalates, a Russian Navy Command source told Voice of Russia.
The Russian Navy continuously monitors the situation and studies possible options for evacuating Russians, the source said.
The move mirrors what the U.S. did last week when it sent three warships to the coast of Israel to help Americans looking to get out of Israel.

Religion and Ethnicity in CanadaAs the leading book in its field, Religion and Ethnicity in Canada has been embraced by scholars, teachers, students, and policy makers as a breakthrough study of Canadian religio-ethnic diversity and its impact on multiculturalism. A team of established scholars looks at the relationships between religious and ethnic identity in Canada's six largest minority religious communities: Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jews, Muslims and practitioners of Chinese religion. The chapters also highlight the ethnic diversity extant within these traditions in order to offer a more nuanced appreciation of the variety of lived experiences of members of these communities. Together, the contributors develop consistent themes throughout the volume, among them the changing nature of religious practice and ideas, current demographics, racism, and the role of women. Chapters related to the public policy issues of healthcare, education and multiculturalism show how new ethnic and religious diversity are challenging and changing Canadian institutions and society. Comprehensive and insightful, Religion and Ethnicity in Canada makes a unique contribution to the study of world religions in Canada. |

(A review originally posted on MakeupAlley in 2005, I wanted to re-post it here now because I do not use MakeupAlley anymore [but have many fond memories of using it] and I am trying to get back into writing reviews, using old 'work' as inspiration...): The male rose (rose for men), this one is just about as beautiful as they come!!
Roses, lavender, vetiver...a tremendous mix. Add (info from luscious cargo website...):as a topnote symphony lemon, bergamot, and precious woods (all clearly present to my nose), then heart notes of hay and lavender (also there), followed by a base of superior unclassifiable rose blended with patchouli and the vetiver...so delicious and superior that I spray the backs of my hands before sleep to keep this next to us in bed. Luscious cargo lists the perfumer as Francois Robert, and not directly Marie-Heine Rogeon, but I take it they're working together to develop the line. I do not yet know Francois Robert's other works and would be grateful if anyone on MUA can assist me...I'll be looking. The best feature possibly of this smashing scent is that it is an eau de parfum, with 20% juice, and for someone used to only finding pleasure in the section labeled "scents for women" which was fine by me, finally there is a breakthrough perfume made for men with the exquisite qualities that make women's perfumes so irresistable and attractive. The staying power is good and it seems to be sort of a skin scent, a good friend here on MUA suggested a thin layer of vaseline on wrists and inner elbows to help retain the scent. In the hair and under the arms (not too heavy here!), chest and back of neck and knees is a full treatment. This stuff is pure gorgeous IMO...I'm in love with all the Rosines, and this one and Folie de Rose have my fullest attention. Rose d'Homme would work good in all weather and occasions to my nose and sense and the lavender (and vetiver) make it truly comforting and relaxing. It has all the invigorating elements of a summer field (and in the winter it could warm you in the beautiful snow and ice) with the sizzling hot and cool sexiness of the sun and moon (and stars) in the sky...heaven and earth. Needless to say this one is now my HG signature scent...(has got me reconsidering the use of aftershaves and a wish that, like Villoresi, Rogeon might extend her male line...finally male toiletries extended to the highest level of perfume art, classic fresh lemon/bergamot/woods, vetiver and lavender strewn through glorious rose with just the right hay heart and patchouli drydown to keep it interesting!). Overall simply otherworldly.
EDIT: For total correctness thus far, here are the notes as they are listed on Aedes.com, I'm wondering which the correct version is as I tend to agree with the first description I found above...Top Notes: bergamot, citrus, patchouli, vetiver. Heart Notes: vanilla, lavender, leather. Base Notes: jasmine, mandarin, rose.
Rose d'Homme is powdery aromatic musky with prominent scent of rose accented with subtle notes of Jasmine and some citrus here and there along the entire course of the duration. The slightly animalic and earthly leathery notes throughout play an important role in this fragrance to make the Rose an 'Homme' although it is, imho, very suitable for women as well.
This scent does have an old fashion vibe and probably less appreciated by the young crowds.
On my cooler than average skin, it has moderate sillage and lasts about ten hours, which is quite excellent for an EDT.
The beautiful, not shouting aroma. Very interestingly all notes are mixed - is allocated nothing, and everything together sounds magically!
This starts very similar to some other fumes with leather I've tried - a sharp slightly woody, masculine scent, that is also intensely powdery. It feels a bit jagged at this point.
A mild rosy sweetness quickly pops up, accompanied by something like a tangy, citric note. By the time jasmine joins the party, the rough edges are nicely rounded off, and it's now a little sweeter, but I still think it's not too sweet for a man.
Somewhere along the line, rose pulls a disappearing act and never shows up again. Was this intentional? Perhaps. After this stage, the fume has a slightly smoky, powdery bitter thing going on, with a vague floral and citrus background.
It wraps up with a light earthy resinous aroma on a mildly flowery background, that doesn't seem to be able to decide if it wants to be warm or cold. Leather is a lot more prominent here, and I think that this is the most masculine stage of this fume.
To me, Rose d'Homme isn't the scent of a big burly woodsman; this is for that metropolitan man who is trustworthy and wants to be masculine but also approachable. I really like it. I would want to cuddle someone wearing this because it's such an agreeable scent.
Sillage was pretty alright throughout, with good longevity. On me, it lasted around 5 hours before slowly becoming more muted.
Rose d`Homme Les Parfums de Rosine is a beautiful rosy fragrance. I smelled the rose from the moment I sprayed it on. The dry down is sophisticated and gentlemanly, lavender and leather. I do think it could be unisex. I only sprayed 3 times because it can be a bit strong.
Very good opening with a lot of wood and a touch of leather (I love this phase).
Then, comes into a baby powdery smell with the leather very light. Nothing special.
The rose is present but too light.
Longevity is good (more than 6 hours) and sillage is close to the skin.
scent: 6.5/10
longevity: 7/10
sillage: 5/10
I was surprised to sight an unusually large number of men at the helm of strollers around Boston over this past summer. I'm not sure whether the trend has to do with the recent laws allowing gay marriage or whether there are simply more house husbands in the general population these days. Another possibility is that more men are unemployed and so they now have time to take their tots out for a stroll. In any case, for those gents who have a diaper bag slung across their bodies as they attempt to juggle the many responsibilities of those who care for small children, Les Parfums de Rosine has composed a perfume just for you: ROSE D'HOMME.
I have smelled diaper facsimile lightly in perfumes before. Many perfumes are evocative of baby powder, perhaps most famously Kenzo FLOWER and some of its flankers. But no perfume smells to my nose more like fresh diapers (before use) than ROSE D'HOMME. It's an odd wet-clean-sweet powdery scent with which this perfume opens, and it hangs on for quite a bit before finally becoming less loud and possibly wearable as a touch of leather and vetiver emerge. I'm not sure. I cannot think of many guys who would really want to smell like diapers for an hour, even if they have assumed the duties of nanny to their own or other people's children.
This is a MUST TRY before you buy, in spite of the inviting name. Do not think that this is going to be like L'Artisan Parfumeur VOLEUR DE ROSES. It is nothing of the kind!
I don't find the rose until fairly far into this perfume. Rose d'Homme is a dusty sort of scent that moves from a lavender citrus through a white floral to a comfortably non-descript powdery woodiness via a snippy aldehydic feel. It's like a survey of the non-rose notes that you might find accompanying a rose, but there's no rose. Not yet. Then out of god knows where, at the end of the ride it coalesces into a musky dried rose. Neat trick and worth the wait since all the sights along the way are so enjoyable. What had read as dusty at the start seems quietly powdery by the time the rose forms. In the end, R d'H gives the impression of a smiling, quietly ironic dandy.
I just got this a s a sample. I was dying to try this for some time and it surly did not disappoint,I can smell the rose in there and I can slowly smell the leathery notes. I am waiting to get the patchouli and the vanilla. Would I buy a full bottle? Its probably worth it to add to my collection , maybe I should finish the sample first. I just wished it would last longer.
I've gone back and forth with this one, but always liked it to some degree. The last time I wore it I liked it more than ever before, though, and it lasted for a very long time. However, I did notice what seemed like an aroma chemical that I hadn't before; fortunately, it wasn't irritating. The leather also lasted a very long time, and the dynamism was excellent. At this point, it would be on my top ten niche list, though I'm not a huge niche fan. I recommend that those who have an affinity for leather scents sample this one, but try it a few times, because it seems to be a real shape-shifter, depending upon what note, accord, or aroma chemical that seems to be dominant.
A rose for a man? Intriguing. I had to try it.
This is a mature, sophisticated woody-leathery –rose. Unisex for sure. It just needs confidence.
It stars woody and rosy with a sharp citrus –lavender note. Just for few minutes. It relaxes to woody -leather rounded tones with un undercurrent of patchouli. Beautiful construction. Much better than expected.
The evolution is towards smooth leather; the woody notes will become more assertive and add more strength and personality to the leather tone. The late dry down is more vanillic with pronounced rose and patchouli. The leather doesn't completely disappear, it stays close to the skin and brings something sensual to the composition. Absolutely lovely.
I prefer the first 3 hours just because I am not a rose fan.
Otherwise a dreamy leathery fume. It was a "must have" for me! :)

The Deep and Meaningful Winnie-The-Pooh Character Test
"Yes, dear, yes," said Kanga soothingly. "And imitating Piglet's voice too! So clever of him," she went on, as she took a large bar of yellow soap out of the cupboard. "What will he be doing next"
"Can't you see?" shouted Piglet "Haven't you got eyes? Look at me!"
"I am looking, Roo, dear," said Kanga rather severely. "And you know what I told you yesterday about making faces. If you go on making faces like Piglet's, you will grow up to look like Piglet -- and then think how sorry you will be. Now then, into the bath, and don't let me have to speak to you about it again."
You scored as Kanga!
ABOUT KANGA: Kanga is Roo's mother and Tigger's foster mother. While she is a kind and motherly sort of person, the other inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood suspect that underneath, she is a Fierce Animal. Her hobbies involve talking about Roo's health and development, watching Roo while he practices jumping, and making Roo and Tigger take their strengthening medicine.
WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are the kind of person who takes on other people's worries. You are efficient and a person of action - the type of person who Gets Things Done. Your friends tend to rely on you to get them moving and keep things running.
The problem is that you tend to forget about yourself in all of this. You need to remember that you are an important and worthwhile person, and sometimes it is okay to say "no" to people's constant requests and demands. Give yourself some time off.
