The military services want the private sector to design, build, own and operate the alternative energy generation capacity and sell the energy to the military services.
The Army's $7 Billion Renewable Energy Contracts
Robert Tritt | McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP
Why are the military services interested in alternative energy on military bases?
The Department of Defense and the military services are pursuing an ambitious plan to expand on-base alternative energy generation for three reasons: (1) it furthers energy security. Having generation capability on base makes military bases less susceptible to the impact of the grid being disrupted. (2) It responds to federal mandates. Congress has mandated that the military services obtain 25 percent of their electric energy from renewable sources by 2025. In 2011, that number was 8.5 percent. (3) It offers the opportunity to reduce costs over the long term. Some alternative energy sources can offer long term set prices, which can save money over the long term as compared to the cost of energy otherwise available.
What is the private sector's role in providing alternative energy to the military services?
The military services want the private sector to design, build, own and operate the alternative energy generation capacity and sell the energy to the military services. Military construction dollars are in short supply. Especially with the tax credits that only the private sector can use, the private sector can build alternative energy facilities less costly than the services could build them. Instead of having to fund construction projects, the military services will buy the energy that they would buy anyway.
What type of projects are envisioned?
First, the services want proven technology. This is not viewed as a research and development effort although technological advances may come from it. While not an exhaustive list, the military often speaks in terms of solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. Second, in terms of size, each service has been charged to add 1000 MW to its portfolio. I expect a typical size project will be 10-15 MW. This size is big enough to be worth the effort but under the size of utility scale projects that have added complexities.
Are these projects financeable?
Yes, the military services have the authority to sign power purchase agreement for up to 30 years. Transactions, such as the recent 13.7 MW solar project at NAWS China Lake, have closed and have been project-financed. There will be unique provisions in DOD power purchase agreements, but in my view banks and energy companies will work through those issues and the deals will happen.
Is preference given to "Made in the USA" projects and components?
"Buy American" requirements are present and evolving. Under existing law, Buy American provisions are easily met because it is the energy being sold, and that energy is being made right on base. However, there are continuing legislative efforts to require that components that are located on military bases, even if not bought by DOD, are made or at least assembled in the U.S. In planning for these projects it would be best to assume that the primary components will need to either be made in America or in certain trading partners.
Private investment on military bases? Has anything like this happened before?
Yes. The services are now completing the privatization of military family housing, which has transformed the housing for military personnel and their families. Even among its initial critics it is widely regarded as a highly successful program through which the private sector has invested approximately $30 billion on military bases.
Will the military services pay a premium for alternative energy?
Not yet. The value of energy security has not been monetized, and the services have yet to give any specific dollar credit for that feature. However, this may be considered on a case by case basis. The military services need the renewable energy certificates that arise from the projects, but also recognize that the developers need to sell the RECs separately to bring the cost of energy down to an acceptable level. The RECs are a negotiable issue. Further the military services are willing to consider the cost of the alternative energy over the long run as compared to the projected cost of energy otherwise available. It is not necessary that alternative energy be cheaper on the first day.
Are there any opportunities for "research and development" projects or components to be included within these projects?
This is not viewed as an R&D project, and only proven technologies will be deployed. DOD does have some capacity and funding for energy research, and they hope that their focus on this sector will help drive innovation and advances as has often been the case in the past. However, when it comes time to enter into a long term power purchase agreement, DOD will expect that both the party winning the contract and the technology to be used will have a proven ability to perform.
When is this happening?
It is happening now although the services are ramping up their efforts and are in the early stages. The services are approaching the issues separately and differently. The most visible procurement is the upcoming Army Request for Proposal, expected later this summer, through which the Army will select a pool of developers in each of the categories of solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. The purchasing authority under this RFP is expected to be $7 billion for long term power purchase agreement to be entered into over the next 10 years .
Does this RFP only include projects in the US or are internationally located military installations included?
The potential territory in the RFP is very broad---federal property located in all states, territories, provinces and other property under the control of the United States. However, I would expect most of the attention will be in the 50 states, plus perhaps Puerto Rico and Guam. A separate but important initiative for the military is renewable energy in theater, namely Afghanistan. But those problems are not addressed by long term, fixed location renewable energy generation, which is the subject of the RFP.
How does a company go about getting a list of and submitting proposals for these projects?
Most, but not all, of the projects will be public procurements, and the projects will be posted on FedBizOps. However, it is expected that the services will generally prequalify the companies that can compete. The Army RFP is such a prequalification process. To compete, companies will need to go through the prequalification process, and if selected, thereafter compete for the specific task orders. At present the services are still evaluating where their most viable projects will be The Army and Air Force have announced a joint industry day in Arlington, VA on June 12. More information will be available at that time.

As we march further toward the final hours of this age of flesh we now see the rights of Christians in this once blessed nation being removed. Which begs the question, as Christians are we to obey the laws of the land? We will get to that in a moment. But let us back up to July 27th 2015 when a major benchmark was set on our Father's time clock. We saw a ruling come down from the Supreme Court stating homosexual marriage should be legal in all fifty states. Now let me point out, the Supreme Court does not make laws, they simply offer an opinion of them. Yet the government has enforced an opinion as law and claims the Supreme Court ruling means homosexual marriage must now be legalized by the fifty states. Let me ask you, what is the law of this land? The Constitution of course. So what does it say regarding the right of the states?
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." – Tenth Amendment
It does not become any clearer than this. The states have the right to decide for themselves whether or not they will allow homosexual marriage or any other law for that matter. Yet man, meaning the government in power assaults the law which they have been sworn to uphold.
Now having laid this out, what does God's Word say about men obeying their governments? Please turn your Bible with me to,
Romans 13:1
1 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God."
It is our Father who sets up kings and who also removes them (Daniel 2:21). Now while God is in control of the world He has given Satan power over it to fulfill the negative part of God's plan.
Romans 13:2
2 "Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation."
Now Romans 13 is quoted by just about every Pastor out there as proof Christians should do as they are told by their government. However, if you are a student of our Father's Word you know there is always an if or a condition that applies. Please turn your Bible with me to,
2 Samuel 23:3
3 "The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God."
Who said this, your Father. He said, 'a man that is to rule over the people must be a just man who rules in fear or reverence of the Lord.'
Men in power who remove your God given right as a Christian are not ruling with fear of the Lord are they? We are to obey the government as long as their laws do not interfere with our Father's Laws and as we documented these men are breaking the laws of this nation itself. Further, it was the Apostle Peter who said, "We ought to obey God rather than men," (Acts 5:29).
Let us make it extremely clear, any law of men that breaks our Father's Law is not to be followed. Further, our Father's Law clearly states a homosexual act is an abomination to Him (Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:27, 1 Corinthians 6:9). I say this with respect to the situation in Kentucky. God's Law has not changed "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever," (Hebrews 13:8).
As the days draw on it will become more difficult for us to practice our Christian faith. It is true Matthew 5:25 tells us, "Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him." However, it is never okay to deny God and as a note to you I feel this is more reserved for the Tribulation of Satan.
It is these trying days that we are now faced with that will separate the true Christians from the pretend Christians. Christ said Himself, "he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me," (Matthew 10:38). This means hardships, trials and real persecution. Think about what that message means for a moment. Jesus Christ took up that cross and was crucified on it so that you would have the opportunity at Eternal life.
We have all enjoyed great times in this nation, but if you are a true believer in Jesus Christ then you better be prepared to stand by Christ even though your rights will be stripped away from you. Christ said when Satan steps foot on earth, "they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake," (Luke 21:12). What we are seeing right now in Kentucky is only a primer, only a glimpse of what is to come.
Now I do not know about you, but examples always do it for me and this is very scriptural. 1 Corinthians 10:11 states,
"Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come."
I want you to recall Daniel chapter 3 and what happened there. King Nebuchadnezzar setup a great golden image and made a degree, a law demanding everyone to stop what they are doing fall down and worship this great image when they heard the music play (Daniel 3:9-30). Now this was a degree right from the mouth of the king himself and anyone who failed to heed his command was to be thrown into a great fiery furnace.
What did the servants of our Father Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednegodo do?
Did they listen to the government and worship a false god or did they listen to their Father?
I should not have to answer that for you. They listened to their Father, they stood by their Father and because of that they were thrown into a fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter than necessary. Our God was there in the midst of the fire to protect them and they emerged from the fire when King Nebuchadnezzar called them out. A fire which had no effect on their bodies neither did the smell of smoke pass upon them because your Father stood by those men. Your Father protected them in their hour of deliverance because they were faithful to Him.
There are many more examples of the prophets of old who disobeyed the government because the government overstepped their bounds and violated God's Law. This is where the true soldiers of our Father emerge. Those who will stand for God no matter the cost.

Meet the HWBOT World Championship 2016 Finalists: pxhx (Brazil)
Of the seven Overclockers who have qualified for the World Championship 2016 Finals, PXHX from Brazil is without doubt the most seasoned campaigner. pxhx is an Extreme Overclocker who signed up as a HWBOT member way back in February 2007, a fact that makes him very much an elder statesman of sorts in terms of overclocking, and the most senior combatant in Berlin next weekend.
Known to many simply as Paulo, pxhx of course qualified for the World Championship 2016 Finals back in February of this year when the HWBOT World Tour rolled in town during the Campus Party in Sao Paulo. After the initial qualification round where Paulo arrived in second place, we were treated to a Semi-Final battle between pxhx and NoMS. After dispatching NoMS with a Memory Clock score of 1,663.6MHz, Paulo went on to the Final where he beat acschenck with a Wprime run of 4.056 seconds.
Paulo is currently ranked 4th in Brazil, good going in a country which sports 4,947 HWBOT members in total. He is also a team captain of the OverBR Team. In Berlin he will be the only representative of Latin America. It's also interesting to note that despite a fairly long Overclocking career this will be most certainly be the biggest live overclocking contest that Paulo has ever attended. Having qualified for the Final using a GIGABYE motherboard and HyperX memory, these are what he will use in the Final.
You can read more about Paulo's qualification experience here on an article that covers the World Series 2016 Latin America Final in more detail.
Don't forget that if you fancy pxhx as the eventual World Champion of 2016, go ahead and select him in the Predict and Win contest on our Facebook page. You might just win a Core i7 6950X processor.

With the launch of Quester, UD Trucks will provide extensive customer service and support packages to help transport companies serve their customers. The complete UD Aftermarket Support will deliver quality and value, making sure that Quester runs in optimum condition in local markets.
"Our work starts with the UD spirit, a tradition based on understanding our customer's situation. When we care for your vehicle you are free to focus on your core business and be confident in delivering as planned, securing the success and growth of your operations. We want to move our customer's business the extra mile", said Francois Bottinelli, Senior Vice President for Aftermarket at UD Trucks.
Maintain the truck on the road
Long-term cost-cutting is dependent on having proper service right from the start. By engaging UD Genuine Service, Quester's customers can reduce unplanned stops, increase vehicle uptime and protect investment. It is performed by authorized UD Trucks workshops that have access to the most up-to-date UD Trucks tools, UD Trucks diagnostic equipment and the product quality and availability of UD Genuine Parts.
Quester provides two different UD Genuine Service agreements, Standard and Trust, to customers with the essential expertise and quality of UD Genuine Service and UD Genuine Parts network. "UD Genuine Service and UD Genuine Parts are the foundation of UD Trucks' uptime offer. We're very happy to bring customers in growth markets our extra mile uptime support", said Francois Bottinelli.
With Quester, UD Trucks offers telematics hardware; a wireless communication tool allowing UD Trucks to collect information from the truck while it's on the road. This allows UD Trucks to assist customers with a variety of services, including breakdown assistance, preventive maintenance analysis and corrective service scheduling. "We will introduce our telematics service on selected markets and the vehicle's health monitoring and analysis feature will help our customer avoid costly repairs. Even if it breaks down, we are also able to diagnose and identify as soon as possible to reduce the truck's downtime." said Taizo Matsuo, Vice President UD Trucks Product Management.
Improve uptime
Uptime has become a key for successful companies. Through Quester's built-in durability and easy maintainability, in combination with the coverage and professionalism of the UD Trucks dealer network, the Quester has improved uptime, which helps customers be more efficient.
A system of coil springs supports the entire cab, absorbing road shocks and vibrations. It's a reliable and hassle-free system, keeping maintenance costs to a minimum. Beside this, a series of purposeful designs, such as exposed three-piece bumper and proven quality mudguards, ensures that Quester is easy to be maintained. It is essential for Quester to get maximum uptime.
Focus on drivers
The driver is the key to vehicle performance. With Quester, UD Trucks introduces the Fuel Coaching System, which can help save substantial amounts of fuel. The system gives instant feedback and assistance to the drivers to help them drive as economically as possible, whilst still maintaining average trip times.
"In combination with professional driver training we have seen fuel savings up to 30 per cent," said Per Bruun Hansen, Driver Development Manager, UD Trucks. "But I would say that at least 10 per cent is achievable for any driver who follows the instructions."

I've got so used to using "find text on a page" functions on browsers and software, that I now come to expect it of books. Why should I have to scan a full page of text when I'm pretty sure the reference I'm looking for is right there somewhere? With Glass OCR I should be able to to command Google to snapshot a page, and find the text, before then highlighting the relevant words in the glass display.
Please. That is all, thanks.

Introduced Species Which Have Caused Problems
Invasive species are a problem for all countries and Australia is no exception. Despite being an 'island' in a sense, a number of mammal and bird species have been introduced and have proven to be a major headache for authorities and others.
The following are ten of the worst of the introduced species.
- The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) was introduced into Australia in the 18th century for the purpose of recreational hunting. A release into the wild in 1859 saw them quickly become widespread. The winters were mild and the rabbits bred all year.
Credit: Wikimedia
Even a rabbit-proof fence built from north to south across the country could not stop them entering Western Australia.
Credit: Wikimedia
They are now found extensively throughout Australia. The introduction of myxomatosis gave a measure of control until the rabbits built up a genetic resistance to it. Calicivirus (RHD) has also been used.
- The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) was introduced in 1855, also for recreational hunting purposes. They are found over most of mainland Australia and there are small numbers in Tasmania. The threat level from the fox is estimated to be extreme.
Credit: Wikimedia
They are an elusive and prolific predator of native animals and livestock. With the increased interest in controlling the population because of the impact on our native wildlife, there is now an attempt at controlling their numbers by laying baits. Baits containing fluoroacetate (1080) are effective in the south-west of Western Australia as some of the indigenous plants contain the same substance and the local wildlife is immune to it. However the poison affects quolls and the Tasmanian devil in other areas.
- The dromedary [camel] (Camelus dromedarius) was introduced from India in 1840 as a beast of burden. It was used as a draught animal to cart goods into the agricultural areas and to bring wool and other produce back to the coast. When motorised transport took over, some camels were simply let loose to fend for themselves and some escaped.
Credit: Wikimedia
They are now found extensively throughout Central Australia where the arid conditions suit them perfectly. Their threat level is placed at medium to high. Helicopter culling is carried out from time to time.
- The feral goat (Capra hircus) also began with escapees or deliberate releases. The goat is another animal which has found the Australian climate very much to its liking and, on outback stations, it competes with sheep and cattle for what little food and water is available.
Credit: Wikimedia
There have been some attempts to muster them and export them for their meat but the quality is variable and methods somewhat haphazard. Helicopter culling is sometimes attempted but numbers are so great that the method is likely to have little permanent effect.
- The feral pig (Sus scrofa) was also brought in as domestic livestock. They were introduced in 1788. There is now an estimated 13 to 23 million of them.

They are prolific breeders, difficult to control as they are wily and adept at losing themselves in the bush. They destroy the environment, spoil natural watering points and have the potential to spread disease. There is some attempt at control wild pig populations by ground and helicopter culling, poisoning, trapping and mustering.
- The donkey came out in the early days along with all the other types of domestic animals. Again they flourished in the mild climate and they are a significant problem on the stations of the outback.

Like all the feral animals that graze, they compete with both native and domestic stock for available food and water.
Any non-native herbivore competes with native species for (often) limited grazing.
- Feral cats are the most widespread and invasive of all introduced species. Cats decimate native wildlife. They are very efficient hunters and it is highly likely that the feral cat has been responsible for the extinction of some species of small mammals. Shooting and trapping are measures used against the feral cat. On small islands, these controls have been reasonably effective and some islands have been restocked with native animals.
- The cane toad (Bufo marinus) looks like being the most harmful of all the invasive species. It was brought into Queensland to combat the cane beetle but has since begun an inexorable spread right across the Top End of Australia and is now heading down the west coast.
Credit: Wikimedia
It has poisonous glands behind the head. The native eastern quoll has been decimated in parts of its range as it eats the toad and is poisoned. Even the tadpoles are toxic. Birds, lizards and snakes are succumbing too. The black kite has learnt to flip the toad on its back and attack the soft belly thus avoiding the poison glands. The saw-shelled turtle appears to be immune to the poison too. There is a spate of scientific research happening in a bid to find some means of dealing with the numbers. Females lay single clump spawns which contain thousands of eggs. They eat anything and everything.
- The Common Indian Mynah bird (Acridotheres tristis) is another invasive pest. It was introduced in 1860 on the east coast. It was first introduced to eat insect pests. After land clearing, it is the number one threat to native birds.
Credit: Wikimedia
The mynah is an aggressive bird, hunting away native species, competing for nests and even turfing out other chicks. Even small mammals such as the feather-tailed glider are threatened by these birds. Commonly called the 'garbage bird', it finds rich pickings wherever there is human habitation. This cocky brown and black bird with the yellow eye-patch is listed by the IUCN in its '100 of the World's Most Invasive Species'.
- The rock pigeon or rock dove (Columba livia) is an invasive species in many countries. In the wild, they are grey with two black bars on the wings. Feral populations can be a variety of colours and can be seen in their thousands in towns and cities.
Credit: Wikimedia
The faeces of the rock pigeon are acidic and cause damage to property including stone buildings and monuments. Pigeons are usually monogamous and have two chicks or squeakers per brood.
Other introduced invasive species include the water buffalo and common starling. Feral horses (brumbies) are sometimes culled, usually amid great controversy. The dingo was introduced before Europeans arrived on the continent but is now mostly considered a 'native' animal.

For Stephen Bleach, being a part of the inaugural A380 flight on Thursday was revolutionary... but not for all the right reasons
I've always been pretty middle of the road, politically speaking. But whenever Gordon Brown deigns to call the next election, I'm voting Socialist Worker's Party. Eight hours on a plane has turned me into a Marxist.
Not just any plane. I've just stepped off the first commercial flight of the A380 superjumbo, the largest passenger aircraft ever built. Yes, it's impressive: taller than five double-decker buses, wider than a football pitch, 37 times the length of Peter Crouch in his socks, that sort of thing. And yes, it's an amazing piece of engineering, a staggering technical achievement: but it's also the best advert for Bolshevism since the tsar said, "Stuff that Lenin chap, let's build another palace."
Never has the gap between the haves and the have-nots of the air been more evident. At the front of the plane (business is on the top level, the "super-first" Suites at the front of main deck, economy at the back on both levels), the elite have unparalleled luxury and space. Further back, the proletariat have to... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I've just spent eight hours in the cheap seats: here's a blow-by-blow account.
Takeoff: it just shouldn't. It doesn't seem credible that something this size should get into the air at all. Our takeoff weight today was 468 tonnes, which is the equivalent of 12 very surprised sperm whales. And when it finally comes, 50 minutes after we started boarding today's 455 passengers (they'll need to speed that up a touch), takeoff is a revelation.
Where other planes crank up the engines to a mighty howl and go for a death-or-glory charge to get airborne, the A380 feels more like an inter-city train leaving a station: silent, gentle, almost imperceptible. There's a moment of anxiety when the lack of any roar, or bumping, makes you think something is terribly wrong. Then finally, after 40 seconds of smooth, quiet acceleration, this unlikely behemoth leaves the ground with a whisper and drifts quietly into the skies as if it were the most natural thing in the world. After a moment's collective sigh, everyone breaks into applause. Taking to the air with the A380 does, genuinely, feel like a miracle.
One hour in: as well as kind, civilised folk who've bid in a charity auction to be on the first A380 flight, the plane is full of rude, selfish, jostling journalists like me, and the moment the seat-belt sign is turned off, it's the cue for all of us to leap to our feet and interview mercilessly anyone within notebook distance. We do tend to make a bit of noise, but I didn't realise we'd actually drown out the engines. That's how quiet this plane is. In the momentary lulls between hacks barking questions, you can hear the gentle conversations of real people four rows back.
Two hours in: journalistic frenzy over, time for lunch. It's terrific, produced by a couple of celebrity chefs I've never heard of, but will look out for in future. Sam Leong's fillet of bass with fungi is the best economy-class food I've ever had on an airline.
Three hours in: distractions done with, there's time to take in the surroundings. And when I do, a question occurs. If this is really the most luxurious plane ever built, why am I still shoehorned into a 32in seat?
Here, I have a confession to make. Last week, when the press were first allowed to see the inside of this plane at the Airbus factory, I – along with every journalist there – got a bit overexcited about the double beds in first and the huge business-class seats; all newer, bigger and swisher than anything we'd seen before. As a result, we didn't spend too much time in the ominously familiar-looking economy area. A sin of omission, for which the hour of judgment has just come. Or rather hours: I've got five more to go.
Some passengers say the economy area is much lighter and airier than we're used to. I don't see it – though the large windows do provide a better view. The seat is pretty comfortable... for cattle class. My knees don't touch the seat in front, and it's an inch or so wider than a standard 747 equivalent. But it's still not the ideal place to spend eight hours or more of your life, especially when you know that the real high rollers are just a few feet away, in the Suites. Time to see how the other half live...
Four hours in: the airline people are standing close guard on the curtain that separates economy from first, but for an instant they take their eyes off it, and bingo: an advance party of journalists plunges through the gap.
It's another world. Hushed, spacious, all the seats are in cabins a little like those you'd find on a cruise ship, although the partitions only reach to about eye level. The champagne flows incessantly, and there are normally unobtainable bottles of Château Cos d'Estournel 1982 being poured. In a few of the 12 elite suites, the inhabitants have had their flat beds made up, and sprawl languorously under Givenchy duvets in front of their 23in TVs. Nobody sleeps, though. Having paid up to £25,000 at auction for a ticket, they want to savour every minute.
Upstairs, the improvement in business class, with its colossal 34in-wide seats, is arguably even greater. With just four abreast as opposed to economy's 10, it feels both communal and spacious. The lucky ones try hard not to look smug. I try hard not to be jealous. We all fail. Five hours in: back in the cheap seats, I ruminate on what might have been. When we were shown the first A380 back in 2003, we were promised the following: boutiques, self-service restaurants, duty-free shops, children's play areas, casinos, pubs, libraries, gyms (with treadmills to prevent DVT), showers, 18-hole golf courses. (Okay, I made the last one up, but it was going that way.) So why am I sitting here, unexercised, unshowered and unshopped, with the nearest pub in the outback five miles down? Why do we only have a slightly better version of what every long-haul holidaymaker knows and loathes – rank upon rank of sardine-tin seats, with no room to circulate or socialise? Only one conclusion: they were having us on.
Aviation enthusiasts make up the bulk of the clientele today, and they're determined to enjoy themselves, so I'm in a disgruntled minority (see below). And, to be fair to Singapore Airlines, they never made any of those extravagant claims anyway. But right now I don't want to be fair. This feels like a missed opportunity.
Six hours in: the real test of a long-haul seat is: Can you sleep in it? I try for 40 winks. Not a chance. The buzz all around means it's not a fair trial, but I suspect that even on a calmer flight, it wouldn't be easy. One bonus point: that dried-out, sinusy feeling is noticeably absent. Higher pressurisation is apparently the reason. Seven hours in: time to test the much-vaunted entertainment system. In a stab at egalitarianism, everybody gets the same stuff (economy has a smaller screen, but it's still a healthy 10+ inches). It's cracking: 100 on-demand films, 150 TV programmes, 700 CDs. New films, too. There are USB ports and laptop power to every seat. No internet access, though it might come.
Eight hours in: we're preparing to land, so I'll sum up. If you're planning a trip down under when the plane starts flying from London next spring, should you choose an A380? Yes. It's fabulous in first and business, a touch more comfy than we're used to at the back. Revolutionary? No – not for the huddled masses, anyway. Vive la révolution. Business class
Business class
Andy Odgers, 39, and Hazel Watt, 43, bagged seats together in business class. Here they are sitting in just one of them. "It's fantastic, far better than any business class I've seen in a 747," said Andy, "right down to the picture quality on the big TV screen." The couple, from Richmond in Surrey, paid US$14,200 (£6,922) for the trip, but reckoned it was worth it. "My parents are in Sydney," said Andy, "and they don't know anything about us being on this flight. We're just going to walk into their hotel and surprise them. They'll be so jealous." "It's better than a lot of first-class seats," said Hazel. "You could argue it's a bit hot, but it's the best flight I've ever had."
First class
Julian Hayward, 38, paid top dollar for two seats on the inaugural A380 flight – literally: the one-way trip in the first-class Singapore Suites for himself and a friend set Julian back US$100,380 (£48,936). The entrepreneur invited The Sunday Times in for a cosy chat in his bijou suite. Was it worth it? "Absolutely – all the money goes to charity, so it's ending up in the right place. And this flight really is a piece of history, the first outing for the biggest plane ever built." Would he do it again? "Perhaps not for quite so much money! But yes, the standard is something you won't find elsewhere. I'm very impressed by their wine list. Would you care for a glass?"
Economy class
Richard Killip, 45, bought three tickets for the economy cabin of the A380, and brought along his daughters, Sophie, 12, and Ellie, 10. All three – who hail from Liverpool, but now live in Singapore – loved the flight. "The most impressive thing was the takeoff," said Richard. "It was so quiet, it was almost spooky." "I've already shown off a little to my schoolfriends," admits Sophie. "They're all dead jealous that I'm on the first flight!" Who else will fly the A380?
- PLENTY MORE airlines are queuing up to get the biggest passenger plane on earth. But will they go where you want to fly? When will they start? And – crucially – what will the experience be like on board? Anxious to keep a commercial advantage, most are being cagey with the details. But here's what we know so far...
Start date: August 2008
Routes: "The US and the UK," says the airline – which is expected to mean Sydney to London (via Singapore or Hong Kong), plus direct flights from Australia to Los Angeles.
What's on board?Suites in first class, though not as enclosed as Singapore's cabins, and no double beds as yet. Lounge with sofas in business. Four self-service bars in economy, and seats by Recaro (which makes seats for Aston Martin). Plus internet access for all.
Start date:August 2008
Routes:Dubai-London looks certain. Dubai to New York, Australia and India also likely.
What's on board?Top secret, but there are clues. The airline is installing first-class suites with doors on its fleet of 777s, with styling based on the Orient-Express train, and is expected to go even more luxurious with its A380s – president Tim Clark said: "You ain't seen nothing yet." But on flights to India, Emirates will cram in 644 passengers.
Start date:spring 2009
Routes:Paris to New York and Japan.
What's on board?Questions bring nothing more than a Gallic shrug.
Start date:summer 2009
Routes:20 being considered, from Frankfurt to Asia and North America.
What's on board?A complete redesign for all three areas, but no details as yet.
Start date:2012
Routes:Los Angeles, Singapore, Hong Kong and Johannesburg are likely to be first. New York "would be considered if customer demand were strong enough".
What's on board?BA only ordered the planes a month ago, so they haven't decided yet. Don't expect many gimmicks, though – for that, look to...
Start date:2013
Routes:Los Angeles, Dubai.
What's on board?More double beds for sure, plus a casino – chairman Richard Branson says: "There'll be two ways to get lucky on our A380s."
Showers and gyms have been mentioned too.

We also have our Home Modifications Catalog that can help you come up with some ideas that you can do on your own. We have lots of photos that show ways people have modified their homes to better fit their needs. Some modifications are fully redone rooms where others are simple fixes or using an item in a non-typical way.
Previous Winners
Our first winner was a little girl that needed extra storage in her bedroom. Her mom asked us to help store some of the medical equipment that they need to use frequently, but to store it in a way that didn't look medical. She wanted something young and bright to go with her daughter's room and personality. Timber Hearts did a great job of filling the space on both ends of this little girl's bed to offer lots of additional storage. They painted it white to match the rest of her room and used purple daisies to make it extra personal for her and tie it in to Casey's Circle at the same time (don't worry, not all projects will have purple daisies).


text: Is anyone else having issues with random cover art (for me, around 30-40% of my collection) not showing album art despite it being there in the Info window? The only way to get it to redisplay is to cut and paste the same cover image from the info option, after which the artwork shows again. It's quite odd. Otherwise, I am loving the iTunes 11 interface a great deal.

TUCKER CARLSON: Is Trump U More of a Scam than say, Princeton? That's Open to Debate (VIDEO)
Great question.
Tucker Carlson weighed in on the Trump University controversy against Donald Trump.
Carlson argued that Trump University is no more of a scam than a public university that charges children tens of thousands of dollars and loads up many with debt that will take years to pay off.
I don't think there's a single person that says, "Trump U, I hope my son graduates from Trump U." People knew that going in at the beginning. They know it now. But, is it much more of a scam than say, Princeton? I don't know. That's open to debate. But, yeah, sure. Will it change the mind of a single voter?

Flat Foot
Flatfoot is often a complex disorder, with diverse symptoms and varying degrees of deformity and disability. Flat feet can develop due to injury, illness, unusual or prolonged stress to the foot, biomechanics, or as part of the normal aging process.
Other characteristics shared by most types of flatfoot include:
- Toe drift, where the toes and front part of the foot point outward.
- The heel tilts toward the outside and the ankle appears to turn in.
- A short Achilles tendon, which causes the heel to lift off the ground earlier when walking and may act as a deforming force.
- Bunions and hammertoes may occur in some people with flatfeet.
Flatfoot typically begins in childhood or adolescence and continues into adulthood. It usually occurs in both feet and generally progresses in severity throughout the adult years. As the deformity worsens, the soft tissues (tendons and ligaments) of the arch may stretch or tear and can become inflamed.
Symptoms, which may occur in some persons with flexible flatfoot, include:
- Pain in the heel, arch, ankle, or along the outside of the foot.
- Turned-in ankle.
- Pain associated with a shin splint.
- General weakness/fatigue in the foot or leg
In diagnosing flatfoot, the podiatrist examines the foot and observes how it looks when you stand. X-rays are usually taken to determine the severity of the disorder.
A variety of surgical techniques is available to correct flexible flatfoot. In selecting the procedure or combination of procedures for your particular case, the foot and ankle surgeon will take into consideration the extent of your deformity based on the x-ray findings, your age, your activity level, and other factors.

The Saint Paul City Hall and Ramsey County Courthouse, located at 15 Kellogg Boulevard West in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota is a twenty-story Art Deco skyscraper built during the Great Depression era of high unemployment and falling prices. For this reason, the $4,000,000 budgeted for the building was underspent, while the quality of materials and craftsmanship were higher than initially envisioned. The exterior consists of smooth Indiana limestone in the Art Deco style known as "American Perpendicular", designed by Thomas Ellerbe & Company of Saint Paul and Holabird & Root of Chicago and inspired by Finnish architect, Eliel Saarinen. The vertical rows of windows are linked by plain, flat, black spandrels. Above the Fourth Street entrance and flanking the Kellogg Boulevard entrance are relief sculptures carved by Lee Lawrie.
The interior design in the "Zigzag Moderne" style drew its inspiration from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, which promoted soft ornamentation and sensuous curves. In Memorial Hall the white marble floor contrasts with three-story black marble piers leading to a gold-leaf ceiling. At the end of the hall is the 60-ton, 38 feet (11.6 m) white onyx Indian God of Peace by Carl Milles (later renamed Vision of Peace[4]). Other features include woodwork fashioned out of twenty-three different species of wood and uses for five different types of imported marble. Murals were painted by John W. Norton while the six bronze elevator doors were made by Albert Stewart.[3][5]

Below is a list of hobby and craft clutter items to consider getting rid of. In addition, there's a hall of fame where you can share your own success or get inspired by what others have accomplished.
If you love doing crafts or have a hands on type of hobby (like I do) you know how easily you can accumulate a lot of "stuff" for those activities.
While having some items around your home to enjoy in your down time is definitely recommended, any time these things get so out of hand that they take up too much living space, or you can't even find what you want to DO the hobby you've got too much.
I encourage everyone to take the following of 52 Week Organized Home Challenges that deal with these areas of your home:
I've also created quite a few decluttering missions that accompany these challenges, to help you get this area of your life more manageable.
Whether you've done these missions when I've scheduled them during the year, or any other time doesn't really matter to me. I just want to celebrate your success, so here's your chance to show off some before and after pictures when you've done one of the missions. If you're ready to share now click here to begin!
The decluttering missions for these kinds of items in your home include:
Below are the hall of fame submissions I've already received.

This coming Monday (Dec. 15th), they will be taping an episode with Council Chair John Yoshimoto.
There is still a limited amount of time to submit questions for this program with Chairman Yoshimoto that will Air on December 21st. (You will need to email Sherry Bracken by the end of today for Yoshimoto questions. Questions submitted will not be guaranteed to be asked)
Host Sherry Bracken welcomes your suggestions and questions–email her at email@example.com.
For more information on upcoming shows Go to the Island Issues website, and click on Upcoming Shows to see who upcoming guests will be.
The following is the question that I submitted for Council Chair Yoshimoto, which was based upon the new council rules that testifiers would only be given three minutes to testify… and council members would not have a chance to respond until all people testifying gave their testimony:
How will the general public know and the council members confirm or verify mis-information or mis-representation of testimony if the council members cannot question the testifier immediately after their testimony is given?
Because once the testifier has completed testimony, and he or she leaves the council room, there is no protocol for requiring the testifier to stick around and answer questions the council members may have.

Akshay Kumar's Jolly LLB 2 Trailer is Out Now
The highly awaited trailer of Akshay Kumar film 'Jolly LLB 2′ finally released on Monday, December 19. The sequel to the super successful 2013 movie Jolly LLB featuring Arshad Warsi looks like another high-octane courtroom drama with a dash of satire. The sequel is also directed by Subhash Kapoor. The Jolly LLB 2 trailer showcases Akshay Kumar as a small-town, goofy yet street-smart lawyer. The opening scene in the court shows the 49-year-old questioning his witness, "Can you tell me, when will Salman Khan get married?" This dialogue has met with a great response from fans of both Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan! Akshay Kumar in Jolly LLB 2 is witty with his one-liners. He does not forget to dance, but also is seen slapping, and getting bullets lodged in his back in the trailer. But, sorry Akshay Kumar, you seem no match to the effortless acting displayed by Arshad Warsi, the first Jolly LLB!
The Jolly LLB 2 trailer starts with Akshay Kumar as Jagdishwar Mishra aka Jolly, a rookie lawyer. Sporting a thick moustache, vermilion tika on his forehead and a contagious smile, Akshay Kumar looks ready to take on the world in the second instalment of the hit franchise. He is everything you can expect from a star in a movie. The actor's humongous aura, his dialogue delivery and overall presence will make his fans swoon. But talking from a pure movie buff's point-of-view, Akshay Kumar's version of Jolly LLB misses the sharpness displayed by Arshad Warsi in the first film. Akshay Kumar took Arshad Warsi's place in Jolly LLB 2, as the producers wanted a bigger star in the sequel who inevitably will not disappoint them at the box office.
It will be tough for the 'star' Akshay Kumar to display the same acting chops of Arshad Warsi's level, although we have liked him in intense films like Baby, Airlift, Special 26 and Rustom. Arshad Warsi is one of the finest actors in Bollywood but is mostly recognised as a character actor. With Jolly LLB in 2013, the 48-year-old for a change showed us that he can succeed as a single lead, although his earlier films as solo hero had flopped. Arshad was impressive as Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly, a dreamer of a lawyer who is street-smart as well and fights for justice. There was nothing over the top about his characterisation and that was the best part. Bollywood is not well known for earnest courtroom drama movies.
Jolly LLB proved to be the flagbearer of this genre, at least in recent times. The scenes of Arshad in court with his crisp dialogues dipped with cutting-edge humour were unforgettable, with Boman Irani as the lawyer of another party supporting him in the cast. Audiences followed their arguments as if it was happening in real. This magical tone seems missing from the Jolly LLB 2 trailer. While it may be too early to dismiss the authenticity but the scene in which Akshay Kumar slaps the high-profile lawyer played by Annu Kapoor in the middle of the court is pure blasphemy. Or, it is another classic case of depicting the star power of Akshay Kumar. The comparison began when Akshay Kumar replaced Arshad Warsi.
But the latter may beat the established Akshay Kumar by miles when it comes to pure acting. The star power of Akshay Kumar may set cash registers ringing at the box office for Jolly LLB 2, but the actor Arshad Warsi is a definite heavyweight in the role of Jolly. Akshay Kumar looks forced and unreal – be it enacting emotional scenes to his comic timing to concluding with a hard-hitting, soul-stirring monologue. As a matter of fact, his portrayal of Jolly will remind you of his famous roles from Rowdy Rathore, Khatta Meetha, and Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty. A plea to the producers – stop choosing business over talent!
See, what critics & celebs have to say about #JollyLLB2Trailer!
Taran Adarsh: Watched #JollyLLB2 trailer. Director Subhash Kapoor offers a glimpse of light moments, drama, courtroom scenes in this absorbing trailer. Akshay has evolved into a versatile actor. #Special26, #Holiday, #Baby, #Airlift, #Rustom… #JollyLLB2 will be another significant film. #JollyLLB2 has a strong supporting cast. Would like to single out Akshay and Annu Kapoor's confrontation.
Joginder Tuteja: Saw #JollyLLB2 promo: Film is high on drama. While there are lighter moments in there as well, they stem out of situational humor. Film carries forward ethos of Part 1. With Akshay Kumar leading the show, there is no compromise in the core spirit. Promo keeps the real issue under the surface and just brings to fore the characters, stage, setting and the anticipated battle. @AkshayKumar demonstrates his versatility as bizman [Airlift], conman [Housefull 3], Navy officer [Rustom] and now simple lawyer.
Umair Sandhu: Saw #JollyLLB2 Trailer ! Best @akshaykumar Trailer ever. He Nailed it ! Full on PAISA VASOOL Trailer ! Sure Shot BLOCKBUSTER ! @annukapoor_.
Faridoon Shayryar: "Wat a FITTING end 2 d finest year dat Akshay Kumar has ever had.He has rightly disowned silly award shows.He's ABOVE them #jollyllb2trailer"

Are you so much greater than I, that your fight is critical, while mine for the same thing is worthless?

I know this was a jab, Lucid, but you did hit on something I find interesting.
Men, when isolated from women, will have a much higher rate of homosexual encounters than men who are in a setting where women are abundant. It does apparently have to do with availability of 'suitable' mates. Male dogs, as well, will prefer a female dog when one is available (and even search them out when they are in heat), but if confined with other males will begin to practice homosexual behavior. Interestingly enough, the higher the 'ranking' of a male dog in its society, the more apt that dog will be to act as the male in the encounter.
It's pheromone-induced behavior. The urge to mate can become so strong that eventually the slightest indication of female can produce the same urges that are normally reserved for intergender activity. The one difference I see between men and male dogs in this respect is that the dogs are acting mostly out of uncontrollable instinct, while we should be able to control our urges.
I'd say that, even though we tend to think of ourselves as somehow above all other animals, there are still physical vestiges of animalistic behavior that exist in sufficient force as to overrule some people's civilized exterior.
Everyone who has ever lived has suffered the indignities of some buffoon at some point in their life; especially if you are different in some discernible way from the "majority".
We've all been there. Trust me.
Having said that, defending one problem area does not negate the validity of others. For you gay issues are not a priority, and so be it. Stay out of the fray. Its not your issue.
For you, the rights of religious persons and of white persons is more the issue - then be clear about that. If your issues intersect with ours at some point, like it probably does in prop 8, then you can't take both sides. You have a bias, and you need to be clear about that.
Not all persons who are gay on the otherhand have an automatic bias against your religion. You have irrationally come to think so. You are wrong.
Not every every wrong of society can be fought by everyone at the same time.
Just don't try and lump everything all together into one big mush of "woe is me" and "my problem is bigger than your problem", which is what you are doing, cuz in that mess legitimate issues of the minority will always lose out to those of the majority.
Wow.. I was with you all the way up to that last sentence.

Thanx nick, Every pkg binary depend on pkgsrc tree including my image. # cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/dillo # make package I should re-build depending library for checking.
