Virbac Paprec 3 tick off next gate
It was a significant moment for Loïck Peyron and Jean-Pierre Dick when they passed through the Amsterdam gate and set a fast course yesterday for the Australian barrier, signifying the end of a bone-shaking ride in confused seas and the chance to open the gap again on the pack which are pursuing the long time Barcelona World Race leaders.
Indeed the weekend programme for the race leaders, could be a diet of ‘champagne sailing’ other than first edition winner Dick revealing today that three bottles of Coke comprise the celebratory tipple of choice aboard the Virbac-Paprec 3. But life is certainly sugar sweet for Dick and Peyron today as they see their speeds elevated back towards 16-18 knots averages, consistently re-gaining today some of what they lost to the 2004 Olympic 49er champions who are 515 miles behind this afternoon.
Jean-Pierre Dick: “We had very strong winds at an angle which was just not good and big waves and so to get to the gate we | did not go so fast. Behind us I think they were averaging 19 knots and I think we were 16 knots. But we are downwind again and thing will open out again. We will have a little less wind over the next bit. The last two days were really full on, the boat was shaking with lots of carbon noises.

Judge denies actress' bid to remove anti-Islam film
A California judge has denied an actress' request to remove from YouTube an anti-Islam video that sparked riots in the Muslim world.
Cindy Lee Garcia says she has received death threats over the film trailer, in a lawsuit against Google, which owns YouTube, and a man linked to the film.
Garcia said she had been misled by the maker of the | amateur movie and was unaware of its anti-Muslim content.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the trailer's alleged producer, is in hiding.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Luis Lavin said in his ruling that he had rejected Garcia's request partly because the man who is believed to have made the film had not been served a copy of the lawsuit.

(BPT) - Your home - it's your castle, your sanctuary. But could the place you go to escape the rest of the world be bad for you? Formaldehyde, chloroform and even asbestos could be in your home and you may not even know it.

Senate File 1527 allows commercial feed and feed ingredients to become certified for good manufacturing practices (GMPs). Becoming certified for GMPs will allow a commercial feed or feed ingredient manufacturer to export their products to countries that require only GMP certified feed. The bill provides specific criteria for GMPs that are based on standards from the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) adopts rules relating to the Federal Food Safety Modernization Act, the criteria for GMPs will be contained in those rules. At that time the criteria provided in this bill will expire. The bill also provides for streamlining the adoption of the federal FDA rules for feed by reference.
Section 1 [GMPs Certificate for Commercial Feed and Feed Ingredients]
Subdivision 1 [Definitions] defines the terms “adulterations,” establishment,” and “pest” for the purpose of the GMP certification.
Subdivision 2 [Certificate application] provides for a voluntary application for GMP certificate for commercial feed and feed ingredient inspection by the Department of Agriculture. The inspection will be based on the criteria in subdivisions 3 to 14 or rules of the FDA regarding preventative controls for | animal feed. This subdivision also requires the applicant to pay a fee for the inspection based on mileage and the cost of inspection. Money from the fees will be deposited in the commercial feed inspection account and appropriated to the department for the costs of the inspection.
Subdivisions 3 to 14 [Inspection criteria] provide the inspection criteria based on the AAFCO standards.

President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage on Wednesday was by any measure a watershed. A sitting United States president took sides in what many people consider the last civil rights movement, providing the most powerful evidence to date of how rapidly views are moving on an issue that was politically toxic just five years ago.
Mr. Obama faces considerable risk in jumping into this debate, reluctantly or not, in the heat of what is expected to be a close election. The day before he announced his position, voters in North Carolina — a critical state for Mr. Obama and the site of the Democratic convention this summer — approved by a 20-point margin a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. It was the 31st state to pass such an amendment.
As George W. Bush demonstrated in 2004, when his campaign engineered initiatives against gay marriage in a series of swing states, opponents are far more likely to vote on these issues than supporters. Mitt Romney, the probable Republican presidential candidate, was quick to proclaim his opposition to gay marriage after Mr. Obama spoke. And however much national attitudes may be shifting, the issue remains highly | contentious among black and Latino voters, two groups central to Mr. Obama’s success.

It does so without requiring college-level mathematics or prior programming experience. The content is supported by PixelMath, a freely available software program that helps the reader understand images as both visual and mathematical objects.

Inspired by space sim classics like Wing Commander and X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter, Seamless Entertainment's SOL: Exodus is heading to Steam this Wednesday, giving fans of the genre plenty of time to find their old flight sticks.
With several big fans of the space combat sim genre in house, we've written quite a bit about SOL: Exodus already. We've even gotten several of our readers into the game's beta test, so if you're looking for more information on the current state of | the game I'm sure one of them will pop up and lend their two cents.
The game features eight epic missions set in our own solar system (my own, at least; shouldn't speak for you folks). In the distant future overpopulation and pollution have ravaged the planet Earth, forcing humanity to reach for the stars in order to find a brand-new place to ravage. Colonies sprung up around the solar system, fighting with one another over the sort of things humanity fights over (probably girls).

This is a very good, very dangerous par three. The tee shot is over water so short is not great but distance control is vital because the two bunkers to the back left of the putting surface have been redesigned to be deeper and more of a hazard. So by all means take enough club to clear the water but be careful | to stop short of the bunkers. If you are in a bunker at the back then the recovery shot from there must be played with precision -- if the ball comes out a shade too quickly then it can gather pace across a fast green and disappear into the water.

Real-time temporal logic reasoning about trajectories of physical systems necessitates models of time which are continuous. However, discrete time temporal logic reasoning is computationally more efficient than continuous time. Moreover, in a number of engineering applications only discrete time models are available for analysis. In this paper, we introduce a framework for testing MITL specifications on continuous time signals using only discrete time analysis. The motivating idea behind our approach is that if the dynamics of the signal fulfills certain conditions and the discrete time | signal robustly satisfies the MITL specification, then the corresponding continuous time signal should also satisfy the same MITL specification.

Hello from Glenwood!
Well, I suppose I should say hello again. I started geocaching when I lived in Russellville and joined this site then. However I didn't get to know anyone here very well before I went and checked out of civilization and into the United States Marine Corps. I spent three months forgetting how to use technology and now I have a week or so here in Glenwood to learn to use my GPS before I head back out to do more training. Geocaching was one of the best ways to learn my GPS so I want to find the caches I didn't find around here before I have to leave again. Hopefully tho I will be able to maintain contacts on here as I travel the world as | a Marine and it will give me many opportunities to find caches that I may never have had a chance to search for before.
I was wondering where you went. Now I know. Glad to have you back in redneckwood. Look me up this coming week for some caching in the area. I am busy with church and a old timer basketball practice sunday but monday, tuesday I can get with you after noon thirty.

Try these defensive food maneuvers for a safe (and delicious) 4th of July
America’s 235th anniversary of its split from Great Britain has swelled to become the nation’s largest secular shindig. Celebrations show off with rock-star pyrotechnics, machismo-grilling skills, puerile face-stuffing contests, and a smorgasbord of American eats from pork butts to peanut butter cookies. Instead of celebrating Independence Day by charring bovine at a backyard barbecue, here’s a new game plan that might include whipping up some portable picnic foods (sans the mayo and other perishables) and heading to the beach or backyard to go AWOL.

TUTORIAL 1: Learning how to play Lost Admiral Returns!
Admiral Returns is a turn based strategy game where you outmaneuver your

Question from The International Economy Survey of Experts:
Ten years from now, which will likely be the next great global currency?
Contrary to fevered popular speculation in the 1990s, the yen and the mark never had the potential to challenge the dollar as premier international currency: their home economies were smaller than the US and their financial markets less well developed and liquid than New York. The euro, however, is a credible challenger: Euroland is roughly as big as the United States. Indeed, evaluated at the most recent exchange rates, the euro economy has just now surpassed the US economy in size. Also the euro has shown itself a better store of value than the dollar. These are two of the most important determinants of international reserve currency status.
To be sure, rankings of international currencies change only very slowly. Although the US surpassed the UK in economic size in 1872, in exports in 1915, and as a net creditor in 1917, the dollar did not surpass the pound as number one international currency until 1945. In 2005, | when Menzie Chinn and I used historical data on central bank holdings of foreign exchange reserves to estimate the determinants, even our pessimistic scenarios did not have the euro overtaking the dollar until 2022. Thus we could not have asserted that the dollar would be dethroned “ten years from now.” But the dollar has continued to lose ground. We have now | [

A Mario mascot typically seen waving to drivers on Perryville is attacked by two men and police say it was all caught on camera.
"I thought it was just going to be a typical day and just dancing as Mario," said Angel Galvan.
The day was anything but typical for Galvan who police say was attacked while wearing a Mario costume outside TNT Video Games on Perryville Road. Galvan says he was punched multiple times by two men, one who investigators say committed the assault, the other who recorded the encounter on a cell-phone.
"I was like, 'What should I do? Should I fight back? And, I don't know, I was just stunned at the moment," said Galvan about when he was being hit.
Galvan says the attack lasted for about five | to ten seconds, and believes his mask cushioned some of the blows. He suffered minor injuries including a bloody ear and mild dizziness.

ARCADIA, Calif. — It has been a chaotic week for Shanghai Bobby.
His flight from New York to the Breeders' Cup was delayed by Hurricane Sandy. His ownership changed with the renowned Coolmore Stud spending an undisclosed sum to buy a 50 percent stake in the 2-year-old colt with the 4-for-4 record.
He gets the opportunity today to nail down the division championship in the $2 million Juvenile, a race that stamps the winner as a leading contender for next season's Triple Crown.
And he'll have to do it without Lasix. The Breeders' Cup has banned the diuretic commonly used to treat respiratory bleeding from all 2-year-old races. Shanghai Bobby ran on Lasix in all four starts.
"I don't think that's going to be a problem," trainer Todd Pletcher said. "It's uncharted waters, but he's never shown any sign of bleeding."
It's a lot to pile on a youngster. So far, Shanghai Bobby has taken everything in stride.
"He seems to be handling everything we throw at him, steps up in class, steps up in distance | " Pletcher said. "So we'll try one more time."
The 2-1 favorite had his first gallop around Santa Anita on Thursday morning. Pletcher had booked a flight on Tuesday but the superstorm postponed the departure by a day.
Afterward, Pletcher reflected on the development of a colt who showed promise even before he ran. Pletcher sent Shanghai Bobby to his father, Jake, for early schooling in Ocala, Fla.

Pom Pom Tutorial – Elmo & Cookie Monster
I will still do some pom-pom projects this week. Hopefully you can have some gift ideas for the upcoming Christmas
Pom Pom is the easiest craft I found to be able to make various cartoon features. All you need is to trim and assemble it with fabric glue. This time I am demonstrating how to make pom poms for Sesame Street characters. I picked Elmo and Cookie Monster, the more popular characters from Sesame Street. I wanted to make Big Bird, but I couldn’t get the yellow yarn of its kind, sooo…. here you are, the tutorial for making Elmo and Cookie Monster Pom Pom
Tips: If this is the first time you landed in this blog and wanted to make pom pom, you might find these 2 post useful, Basic Pom Pom Making and Pom Pom Trimming.
Material you will need:
1. A Red pom pom of 70mm diameter [Elmo face]. Attached a key-chain holder if you prefer.
2. An Orange pom pom of 25mm diameter [nose].
3. A pair of 20mm diameter wiggle eyes.
4. A 20mm x 60mm black felt cut into the shape as shown | [mouth].
5. Fabric glue
Apply some fabric glue on the center line of the black felt. Wait for 5-10 minutes before folding it so that the glue gets tacky. Secure it in this position until the center line sticks. I don’t have a spare hand, so I used my scissor to do the job for me.

It has been the capital of Mount Lebanon for almost two hundred years (from the 16th century until the 18th century). All religious denominations existed in the town before 1860 | . This is why you can find a mosque, a synaguoge, and many Christian churches.
In the year 1860, a great turmoil incited by the Ottomans struck Lebanon. Deir El Kamar was surrounded by the aggressors. More than two thousand Christian men and young boys and twelve monks were decapitated or shot to death. Then, the Druze set the town on fire. Napoleon sent seven thousand french soldiers to separate the Druze and Christians. They | [

It's been discussed before. The problem itself is not as much as which driver files to use with a particular controller/hub, but how to allow different controllers to coexist on a given system, when their respective driver files are identically named.
Detection of an existing controller is relatively easy to perform at install time, through a small application or by the installer itself - something I promised I'd build but I still don't have enough information to start with (and spare time). But when a new controller is added and drivers are needed, that's when the "fun" | begins.
The installation inf should contain specific sections, one for each controller brand that does not play well with the generic MS drivers and their filenames must all be different from one-another, so that whenever a new controller is installed, the new files would not overwrite the existing ones, leading to lock-ups, BSOD and such.
If files need to be renamed, we rename them. If internal calls/dependencies must be renamed, we (try to) do that too.
But what we need most is a testbed, one or more persons that do have different controllers and spare machines to test on. Unfortunately, I don't | [

NEWPORT - The Orleans County Sheriff's Department will have a new home soon - before the New Year if everything goes as planned.
Currently the department is located in an old house behind the court building. The house is falling apart, has mold due to frequent flooding in the basement, and has multiple structural problems.
A space on the second floor, which was being used, began to cave in, forcing employees out of the room.
The foundation is collapsing and there are several holes in it.
"You cannot conduct business in this house," Sheriff Kirk Martin said.
NEWPORT CITY – A Main Street storefront may soon be filled.
Albert and Eleanor LĂ©ger, co-proprietors of Eden Ice Cider Company, want to move their West Charleston company to the site of the former Downtown and Affordable Furniture.
The move would allow the company to develop the Northeast Kingdom Tasting Center to support local food enterprises.
On Monday, the Newport City Council gave its support to the Tasting Center to apply for a planning grant from the Vermont Community Development Program.

Lovely and classic
Honestly, I made an error when ordering, and got these rings instead. I thought I can always return, upon receiving...but I think these are little gems. Beautiful quality; looking delicate but securely set. The colours are beautiful, and like the other reviewer stated: come in a beautiful'silk' pouch; packaged just beautiful. The rings are lovely on their own or stacked. These were a real treat to receive.

Elevenses - Welcome to the Processed Chicken Ewood Park!

Biological Sciences student Kiel Ormerod is new GSA President
Published on September 05 2012
Kiel Ormerod has a challenging year ahead of him.
Ormerod is the president of Brock’s Graduate Students’ Association (GSA). His executive leadership comes as the GSA continues to strengthen its voice on behalf of more than 1,500 masters and doctoral students enrolled in the University’s 41 graduate programs.
He’s prepared for the time commitment that the job will require and, at the same time, Ormerod is determined to sustain his passion for neuroscience and dedication to his PhD research in biological sciences.
That’s what one might expect from a former triathlete and Ironman competitor, and a championship oarsman - someone who knows how to set a pace and go the distance.
Ormerod is in the third year of his doctoral program in biological sciences and is supervised by Prof. Joffre Mercier. He was awarded an NSERC doctoral postgraduate scholarship recently, which provided funding for | his research focusing on the interplay between nerves and muscles, and how various molecules and chemicals found in our body strengthen or weaken that connection.

Can't live without it. My hair has been through hell and back over the years and nothing else has been able to make it feel strong and normal. When I was in my teens I did try out almost every treatment Sally's offered but they didn't really do much for the state of my fried melty hair. Even tho all I get done now are semi annual highlights, I still run out and buy this after every bleach session to return my hair to a strong, silky, "healthy" state.
Now, as a side note, you're really supposed to balance out protein with moisture when caring for damaged hair. Always follow up a strong protein targeted treatment with a | moisturizing conditioner and/or treatment. You can tell what your hair needs by how it reacts. If it stretches, snaps, and/or stays extremely stretched and distorted, it seriously needs protein. If it's brittle, dry, and frequently breaks off, it needs more moisture. After any chemical processing, it needs both.

I’ll admit that I haven’t kept up with all the legal intricacies of the writers’ strike. But I do know this: When a lack of writing shuts down television, that’s something.
I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was five. At that tender age, it was all about scribbles — with accompanying pencil drawings — on the many adventures of various talking squirrels.
Later, I graduated to the high school newspaper, then the college newspaper, and finally to professional journalism and novels for teens and tweens.
But the field of writing has changed — drastically.
What is benignly termed “the new media” today mostly means, at least | to me, the triumph of pictures over words.
And I don’t mean the fact that everyday English has been reduced to a code of accepted abbreviations (“lol!”), mysterious combinations of numbers and letters (“gr8!”), and symbols masquerading as facial expressions — ;).

In a flat desert valley filled with cactus and citrus, residents struggle with an impending water shortage. Borrego Springs is a small retirement and agricultural community surrounded by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Aside from about 6 inches of annual rainfall, the sole water source is an aquifer whose groundwater has been declining and has an expected useful life of only 30 more years. Then, according to the Borrego Water District, the water will be half gone, and pumping from other wells will become much more expensive and less productive. Preserving the area's way of life could require dramatic changes.
