Water ultrafiltration is used to remove proteins, high molecular organic compounds from liquids. The facilities are capable of partial retaining of bacteria and viruses. Mechanical fine-dispersed impurities may be also removed. The technique is of high demand in various sectors of industry thanks to its rather extensive potentialities: • Feed water treatment at facilities with demineralization filters and reverse osmos (ro) plants (boiler houses and plants, heat exchanging equipment); • Removal of bacteria and viruses from flows of water coming from open sources (treatment of drinking and process water); • Treatment of industrial waste waters; • Final stage of advanced treatment downstream of biological waste treatment facilities.
Drinking water supply Removal of bacteria and viruses, obtaining high quality water from open sources (water intake from rivers, lakes, water basins).
Waste water treatment Advanced waste water treatment downstream of biological treatment stations.
Ultrafiltration is included into baromembrane separation processes. Pressure differential between two sides of a filter diaphragm (membrane) is an applied force.
To prevent fast failure of the equipment incoming water shall be pretreated for the purpose of removing small mechanical impurities. This function is performed by a mechanical filter–'dirt collector'.
In case of need an incoming line may be equipped with secondary reagents (coagulants and flocculants); these reagents help to retain particles the sizes of which are less than the diameter of membrane pores. Reagents added into water flow cause formation of small flakes (floccules). Colloidal and organic impurities to be removed are retained (fixed) on the surface of flakes produced.
Filtering modules shall be periodically flushed to restore the facility to working condition. Backwashing is performed from a permeate water collector.
Additional reagents (acid, alkali or sodium hypochlorite) are used in case of stable chemical sludge formation. A washing solution passes through the outer side of filter fiber and goes inside washing off all accumulated contaminants into drainage.
A filtering module is a main item of an ultrafiltration facility. Ultrafiltration facilities implemented by the company are based on modules manufactured according to multibore® technology.
Water flow passes through a multichannel fiber bundle. Filter fibers are made of polyester- sulphone. Specific feature of this material is availability of fine structural pores of 0.02µm diameter. Actually fiber walls represent a filter itself with a semi-permeable membrane. The module arrangement makes incoming water flow move inside the fiber bundle. Filtration process is directed inside-out. Retained contaminants are left inside channels. Clean water (permeate) comes out via walls and is discharged from the body.
• Instrumentation (quantity and functionality of metering devices determine automation level of the system).
• Extensive opportunities for automation of the facility operation and integration with existing control systems.
Efficiency of the equipment offered by spc Promvodochistka ltd is confirmed by successful operation of numerous facilities implemented throughout Russia.
Options of process stage sequences.
This option is used for water coming from a well. Incoming water flow has a high concentration of suspended matters while the other parameters are within normal specified values.
- filtration through a layer of sorption material.
This option is used for water having high concentrations of iron, suspended matters and high turbidity. It is intended for treatment of water coming from open intake sources.
This option is mainly used for surface sources of water having high concentrations of manganese and calcium salts.
- processing at reverse osmos (ro) units.
This option aims at processing of water with high concentrations of heavy metals ions and exceedance in specified standard organoleptic parameters. Suspended matters, iron, calcium and manganese salts may be removed in parallel.
Capabilities of ultrafiltration facilities are not limited by options indicated above. Please contact spc promvodochistka ltd specialists (the engineering department) and they will help you to select a treatment process cycle using the membrane equipment suitable for any conditions.

FORMAT
Hardcover$22.95(English)

Ah, Ohio, so nice and normal. We have apple pie heroes like Hopalong Cassidy, Neil Armstrong, Thomas Edison, and Doris Day. Our state bird is the jaunty and ever popular cardinal, and our state flower is the carnation, found in the buttonholes of politicians and bridegrooms everywhere. We started America rolling by opening the country's first gas station, and we have a museum dedicated to America's music, rock and roll. Why, we're just so all-American normal, it can bring a tear to the eye. But there's something else we have a whole lot of, and that's...weirdness. Yes, the Buckeye State has lots and lots of strange people and unusual sites, and they burst forth from every page of this, the biggest, most bizarre collection of Ohio stories ever assembled: Weird Ohio.

James A. Willis was born and raised in Upstate New York. In 1999, he moved to Ohio and founded the Ghosts of Ohio (www.ghostsofohio.org), a nationally recognized paranormal research organization. James has been featured in numerous publications, television and radio programs, and live webcasts. He has given presentations throughout the state on how one may hope to find evidence of the existence of ghosts. James currently resides in Columbus with his Queen-loving parrot and the world's whiniest cat. When he's not seeking out all things weird and wonderful, James often stays awake nights wondering if he will ever lose the moniker of the Man Who Debunked Hell Town.Andrew Henderson is a writer and researcher who has been exploring Ohio's abandoned buildings, old cemeteries, ghost towns, ghost stories, and weird history for years. Since 1999, he has run the popular Web site Forgotten Ohio, and his first book, Forgotten Columbus, was published in 2002. His work has been featured both locally and nationally--most notably in the Washington Post. An alumnus of Ohio State University, Andrew lives in Columbus.
Loren Coleman has been investigating cryptozoology and unexplained phenomena since 1960. He is the author of more than two dozen books, including The Copycat Effect; Bigfoot! The True Story of Apes in America; The Field Guide to Lake Monsters, Sea Serpents, and Other Mystery Denizens of the Deep; Tom Slick, Mothman and Other Curious Encounters; Mysterious America: The Revised Edition; The Field Guide to Bigfoot, Yeti, and Other Mystery Primates Worldwide; and Cryptozoology A to Z. Having grown up in Illinois before moving to New England, Coleman often traveled to Ohio to investigate breaking cases and has continued to visit the state frequently for fieldwork and conferences.

A court order removing a child to a place of safety.
The court has to conclude that unless removed it is likely the child will suffer significant harm.
Lack of cooperation with an assessment of a child can also lead to an EPO.
This is an emergency application normally made by a Local Authority. It is for short-term removal or prevention of removal by parents until other proceedings can be issued.
The Local Authority need not prove that the risk of harm is due to any defect in parenting. The order can only be made for up to 8 days.
If you are served with notice of an application of an EPO, it is essential that you obtain legal advice immediately. Contact our Child Law Team 24/7 now for specialist advice.


The competition was deliciously fierce, but Baltimore proved its love of a fabulous local brunch favorite in a landslide!
In early March, Yelp Baltimore's March Munchness bracket competition kicked off with a host of tried-and-true competitors. Covering different areas of Charm City and a variety of cuisines, more than 1000 votes decided the final victor of this challenge: Miss Shirley's Cafe!
In Round 1, Miss Shirley's fought hard to win against Fed Hill favorite, Abbey Burger Bistro. Round 2 brought it head-to-head with fellow "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" restaurant, Chaps Pit Beef. Both businesses rallied the troops, but Miss Shirley's moved on to Round 3 to defeat another Baltimore fave, Woodberry Kitchen. The final, fierce week-long round pitted Miss Shirley's Cafe against Thames Street Oyster House.
Miss Shirley's Cafe celebrated its 10-year anniversary just last year and their reviews speak for themselves. All three locations boast hundreds of reviews and a solid four stars! Locals know that although the restaurant does not take reservations, it's more than worth the wait the experience Baltimore's best brunch. Whether you're visiting the Cold Spring Lane location, or you find the Inner Harbor or Annapolis more convenient, 'wow' Yelpers!
Executive Chef Brigitte Bledsoe expertly combines southern flare and flavors of the Chesapeake in Miss Shirley's expansive menu. Some of her original menu items still remain favorites to this day! Yelper Mike G. claims that the "Crab cake fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict is unreal," while Zinnia X. declares her love for the Coconut Cream-Stuffed French Toast.
With an "award-winning breakfast, brunch, and lunch," you can't go wrong with this year's Munch Madness winner. So head on down and load up on some boozy brunch drinks and killer chicken and waffles. You can thank your fellow Yelpers later for pointing you in the right direction!

when vic and i did cross country long distance for 819 days (but who counted) one of the few things i didn't like about visiting him in california was that i couldn't bring my sewing with me. then i discovered you could do entire projects by hand. game changer.
decide on the size you want your finished bunting to be. mine were 4 by 6 (ish). once i added seam allowances it came to 5 by 7 (ish). cut two squares for each letter.
either freehand or use your computer to make pattern pieces for the letters out of the parchment paper. then cut them out of the solid colored wool or felt.
sew letters on the squares. if you are doing letters on both sides remember to reverse the letter order on the back side.
with right sides together sew the the square pairs together on three sides (leaving top short side open). trim seam allowance, flip right side out and press.
line square pairs along bias tape, keeping them evenly spaced. (i put a 3 by 5 card between each of mine) fold bias tape over top (unsewn) edge of square pairs, pin in place.
stitch along bias tape, securing square pairs into place.
while these were originally intended as decorations for birthday parties (hence the name) the rest of the year they are hung in the girls rooms. here is maya's in her reading nook.

Video: Celebrity Trainer Kathy Kaehler's New Year's Fitness Plan … for Orcas?
New PETA Parody Exposes the Depressing Lives of Orcas in Captivity
David Perle 202-483-7382
Los Angeles – She's trained the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford and shared fitness tips on Good Morning America—and now, Kathy Kaehler has teamed up with PETA for a new parody video aimed at whipping the orcas at SeaWorld into shape in the new year. However, she struggles to come up with exercises that her "clients" can do while trapped in tiny concrete tanks at the abusement park.
After demonstrating how to swim in tiny circles and grind your teeth, she says, "And that's all the moves I can show you, because until SeaWorld sends the animals to a seaside sanctuary, that's pretty much all the orcas at SeaWorld can do. Well, besides dying way earlier than they would in the wild."
In the wild, orcas may travel as far as 140 miles in a day with their family pods. But as Kaehler's video reveals, those at SeaWorld can only swim listlessly in circles in chemical-filled water inside barren tanks that, to them, are the size of a bathtub. Many have severely damaged teeth caused by gnawing on the metal bars and concrete sides of the tanks out of stress. The company has also separated baby orcas from their mothers and shipped them from park to park.
More than 40 orcas have died on SeaWorld's watch, from causes such as severe trauma, intestinal gangrene, and chronic cardiovascular failure—and not one has come close to reaching the maximum life expectancy of the species in nature. PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that "animals are not ours to use for entertainment"—has long called on SeaWorld to develop seaside sanctuaries for the orcas.
Kaehler is part of a growing list of celebrities—including Bella Thorne, Krysten Ritter, Noah Cyrus, Bob Barker, Alec Baldwin, Joan Jett, and many others—who've teamed up with PETA to speak out against SeaWorld's cruelty to marine mammals.

Home/World News/Asia-Pacific/Afghanistan/Muslim disunity, main motivation for Qur'an burning
Muslim disunity, main motivation for Qur'an burning
When Muslims settle down their trivial disagreements and focus on their (various) commonalities enemies would not dare to commit similar behaviors.
The disrespectful measure of the US forces in Afghanistan to desecrate the holy book of Islam, Qur'an, has raged the people around the world. People in Afghanistan and other Muslim nations across the world have held massive rallies to voice their anger against the inhumane act.
In the same line Taqrib News Agency (TNA) has asked for the views of Molawi Abdul Ghani Dahani, renowned Sunni cleric from Eastern Province of Sistan and Balouchestan.
Q: Please explain your views on the recent sacrilege of Qur'an by the US forces.
A: As you know Qur'an is a humanizing and reviving script and its enlightening teachings is a perfect guide for any soul. Reflection of Qur'anic teachings took a new path after the victory of Islamic Revolution in Iran and promotion of Islam took a rising speed.
This promotion was not limited to the Middle East and opened its way in other parts of the world like Europe.
Nowadays promotion of Islam has a much visible speed than what we imagine to the point that is ranked as the second popular religion in Europe.
Publication of Qur'an, in comparison with other books, in Europe stands in a higher ranking. These are all horrifying for the arrogant powers of the world; therefore, their sacrilegious measures are only aimed at putting out the light of Qur'an but they do not know that the divine light of God Almighty cannot be put out.
Q: Previously there have been similar cases of sacrilegious efforts against Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Qur'an though they all failed. In your view what is the reason for repetition of a failure?
A: These moves are not without a plan or something accidental but they are based on a scenario by the world arrogant powers which are aimed at preventing the increasing promotion of Islam.
In the same breath, on the one hand they offend Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and on the other hand they disrespect holy Qur'an. When they do not achieve their desired objectives, they fade for a while though they never disappear completely.
Sometimes the enemies pursue Islamophobic plans and sometimes they spread Shiaphobia but their efforts have been to the benefit of Islam when the growth of Islam has increased around the world.
Many American citizens gradually become enthusiastic towards Qur'an and when they study that by themselves, they are absorbed by that and embrace Islam.
This has become quite concerning for the western governments; therefore, they do anything to prevent awakening or vigilance of their nations.
Q: What is the duty of Muslim scholars and Islamic nations regarding such seditious acts of the arrogant powers?
A: At the moment what matters more than anything else is solidarity of the Umma (Muslim nation) against these plots. Muslim nations, from all races, denominations and have to unite around the axis of divinities and save themselves from the traps of the arrogant powers.
Without doubt, the most important motivation behind the offence of the enemies in Afghanistan is the religious disagreements in the country.
This is a recommendation of God Almighty that invites Muslims to unity and solidarity and a warning that once Muslims are trapped in seditions they would be miserable.
Therefore, Muslim nations and clerics have to be vigilant against the plots of the enemies and aid the promotion of Islamic objectives by maintaining their Islamic commonalities and unity of ideologies in global issues.

SiriusXM to Acquire Pandora in $3.5 Billion Deal
September 25, 2018 by DJ Cavon - The Grandmaster
In a blockbuster deal sure to shake up car audio, SiriusXM announced on Monday that it will acquire Pandora in an all-stock transaction valued at $3.5 billion, creating an industry leading digital audio company with excess of $7 billion in expected pro-forma revenue this year. The companies said both popular services and brands — SiriusXM's car-based satellite radio service and Pandora's radio and music-streaming offerings — will remain in place following completion of the transaction.
The acquisition will, however, see large scale cross-promotion between SiriusXM's base of 36 million subscribers and Pandora's 70 million monthly active users, plus it is expected to leverage the satellite radio giant's programming with Pandora's various tiers to create special subscription packages. And on the heels of Toyota's decision to remove Pandora (and some other apps) from its Entune infotainment audio system, SiriusXM's close relationships with auto companies is seen as key to driving Pandora's in-car distribution.
In prepared comments, Meyer said, "We have long respected Pandora and their team for their popular consumer offering that has attracted a massive audience, and have been impressed by Pandora's strategic progress and stronger execution. We believe there are significant opportunities to create value for both companies' stockholders by combining our complementary businesses. The addition of Pandora diversifies SiriusXM's revenue streams with the U.S.'s largest ad-supported audio offering, broadens our technical capabilities, and represents an exciting next step in our efforts to expand our reach out of the car even further."
Meyer added, "Through targeted investments, we see significant opportunities to drive innovation that will accelerate growth beyond what would be available to the separate companies, and does so in a way that also benefits consumers, artists, and the broader content communities. Together, we will deliver even more of the best content on radio to our passionate and loyal listeners, and attract new listeners, across our two platforms."
The transaction, which is subject to approval by Pandora stockholders, has already been given a unanimous thumbs-up by SiriusXM's board of directors and Pandora's independent directors and is expected to close in the first quarter of 2019. The acquisition is also pending anti-trust approval, as well as other closing conditions.

The Reformed Church of Sepsimagyarós
The church dominates the view from a hill in the center of the village. Equipped with flying buttresses, it is oriented to the southwest and is part of the collection of buildings with the cantor's and minister's residence. Regardless of not being mentioned in art history literature, it is still valuable and interesting in its architecture. They began building it in 1752 and according to the account book the building was finished in 1758. It took its present form after several re-building and extensions through the centuries. The expenses of the construction were paid for by the donation of the villagers. In the beginning there was a timber belfry beside the building. We do not have any record of the church from the Middle Ages, because the village is first mentioned in 1512. The defensive fortification surrounding wall typical of earlier churches is also missing.
From the 16th century the villagers used to attend worship in the neighboring Szacsva village. It is important to mention that prior to building the church, the congregation became independent at the beginning of the 18th century. The active church life and worships were attended to by ministers of the neighboring villages. This fact is proven by the tin plate donated to Magyaros' congregation in 1736 by FerencneMarkos, born Anna Koreh. On the perimeter of the plate that still exists today it writes the following: GIVEN TO THE CONGREGATION OF MAGYAROS FOR THE GLORY OF GOD 1736 FERENCNE MARKOS. In 1768 MihalyKese gave a tin wine jug to the congregation. In 1771 the congregation received its own minister. Unfortunately we don't know his name, but during the visit of the congregation the minister and schoolmaster was ordered not to get involved in any politics. A the same time an order was given to fix the cracks in the wall of the church. The next year the walls were fixed and three years later shingles were changed on the roof. Unfortunately the renewed church could not be enjoyed by the congregation because a fire damaged the church and neighboring buildings in 1794. The damage was not severe, because the buildings were renewed in the same year. During the renovation there was a tower added to the building with an open porch under its roof, which is rare in the region. The church was consecrated as well. In the following few years the church was furnished: the lead framed window, the painted balconies and benches, the table and the pulpit were made and still exist today. The most beautiful relics of the church were made from the generous donations of the congregation, specifically: the hexagonal led framed glass furnace windows, on the edges of which the names of the donators are engraved. The balcony window was made by KOVATS TEREZIA RITA. The window on the east side of the church was made by JANTSO JANOSNE 1797, on the north side of the church one of the windows were donated by KORE ANDRAS 1797 the other was donated by MAGYAROSI ISTVAN. There are painted inserts on both balconies that are somewhat similar to the ones in the church of Szacsva. As indicated by one of the painted inlays the date 1797 refers to the date the painting was completed. Unfortunately we do not know the name of the painter, but we suppose that it is the work of the "Painting School of Háromszék" that worked in the region since 1760. The front inlays of the benches were also painted, but they are much simpler and were made later. The painted inlays of the benches and balconies were covered with oil paint in 1954-55. With the renovation in 2013 the values of the interior of the church were revealed. Because of the floral patterned ornaments on the pulpit made of bricks is rare in the region. It is likely that the pulpit was made at the end of the 18th century since the crown above it was made in 1806. The writing on the crown beholds the name of the donator: EVER LASTING MEMORY MR. BENEDEK MOGYOROSI Anno 1806. The bench beside the pulpit, the Moses bench, according to the church visiting records was made after 1817 for the minister's wife and for the village Master's wife. Across the pulpit, on the inlay of the bench there is the coat of arms of the local noble family of Jancsó, who was the patron of most of the ecclesia. The hexagonal Lord's Table was made of pine after the 1794 fire, with the name of its maker AndrasKoreh.
The earthquake of October 22, 1802 has caused the destruction of many churches in Haromszek. The Refomed Church of Magyaros was not an exception. The demage to the church had to be fixed. Since the north and west wall of the church were soaked for a long time in 1840 there was a larger renovation. Two decades later the shingles on the roof were changed to tiles. During the renovations mentioned above the scroll-work of the western wall is baroque style, while the portico triangle decorates the church with classicist style. The balcony on the western wall of the church was also built in the 18th century. The entrance to the balcony is from a portico extension of the western wall. According to tradition the poor members of the congregation sat on the balconies.)
Nowadays they are only used during exceptional holidays and events. We cannot find record of an organ at the beginning of the 18th century, but from the book of records it is written that the organ is fixed in 1791. The still existing organ was built in 1885 by the organ builder Jozsef Nagy from Brasso. The instrument broke in the middle of the 20th century and stands without its pipes. The belfry built in the same year as the church only received a smaller bell in 1783, in which year they also fixed the belfry. The second bigger bell was bought in 1798, which served the village until the beginning of the 2nd world war. The re-casting of the bell is proven by the following engraving: "THE BELL CASTED IN 1798 AND AFTER YEAR OF SERVICE, CRACKED AND WAS RECAST FROM THE MATERIAL OF THE OLD BELL BY THE REFORMED CONGREGATION IN 1941." The smaller bell cracked in 1837, but was recast the next year. During WWI this bell also became the victim of bell requisitions. It was replaced by the bell bought in 1922 with the following engraving on it: "PURCHASED BY THE REFORMED CONGREGATION OF SEPSIMAGYAROS THROUGH PUBLIC DONATIONS 1922."
The line of restorations were closed by 1885 for half a century, when in 1954-55 there was a conservation work done, but not very effectively. TiborBeke priests note is as follows: "As I saw two persons working in the church, covering the parts of the church that are dirty and faulty, it flashed through my mind that they are covering our past." It was during this renovation that the painted inserts of the benches and balconies as well as the floral ornaments of the pulpit were covered over. Because the restoration of the church could not be financed by the congregation of 100 people, the congregation applied for a financial grant to the Kovaszna County Coucil in 2013. Due to the successful application there was a larger restoration project conducted.
Due to the restoration and conservation work of Ferenc Santa the 255 year old church can be seen in its original form.

Congregation History
The village is mentioned as Uzum in the papal records of 1332, when father Stephen (István) pays 7 old and 2 small banális. In 1333 Uzon pays 1 garas, in 1334 he pays one verőcze and 4 sasos (Beke 108).
At this time Uzon has a church, and is considered a parish. In 1464 the father's name is Peter (Péter). The church was surrounded by a tall fortress. In 1704 the church and the whole village burns down (SZOKL VII, 127-8).
The churches tower had to be demolished after the 1802 earthquake. The church was demolished in 1819, and the fortress in 1901 (Aluta VIII., IX, 461).
During the Reformation the catholic parish ceases to exist. The church is reformed for a while, then Unitarian and eventually becomes reformed.
There is a chapel for the Catholics from the 18th century also attended by villagers from the neighboring Szentiván (Schematism 1882, 43).
A church is built during 1918-22, that is attended by the parish of Szentiván. It becomes an individual parish in 1943.
Father László Nagy builds a parish residence during 1967-69.
A house is transformed to a chapel in Keresztvár, in 1988.

The population was 189 people at the 2002 census. It is mainly inhabited by people of Romanian nationality on the bank of the Feketeügy River. It was Count Mikes who settled cottars in the region, first temporarily for making hay, and later permanently for agricultural work. This is how the village evolved. Its Orthodox Church was built in 1990, with Big Saint Vazul (Sfantu Vasile cel Mare) as its patron.
Sepsimagyarós is an ancient Szekler Village. Supposingly it got its name from the peanut bushes around it. It is mentioned in1512 as Monyjoros, Mogyorós in 1567 and Magyarós in 1678. Its official name is Sepsimagyarós since1834.
It is situated at the Southern border of Háromszék hollow, in the foregrounds of the northern spurs of Bodza Mountains, under Cseretető Mountain (574m). Near the village is the Kuruc Pile which is the barrier ground of Kuruc leaders, according to oral traditions. The population was 111 at the 2002 census.
The village's Reformed Church was built in 1752, and one can still see the original hexagon glass furnace windows in their lead frames. The flower ornaments on the balustrade of its organ balcony are also visible. Its bell tower is preserved with its original architectural characteristics of the period.
There is a headboard in front of the Church in them memory of Ferencz Koréh (1910-1996) journalist, editor of the Szekler People newspaper and a colleague of the radio Voice of America. The village's cultural hall is named after him.
Significant people: László Bartha of Sepsimagyarós, geographical traveler and writer from the 18th century; Sándor Teleki (1894-1952) Pastor of the Reformed Church, clerical writer; János Fodor (1899-1969) and Sándor Fodor (1902-1954) public figures; Sándor Fodor (S) the writer of the village's monograph and Rózsa Dancs-Telch journalist living in Toronto, Canada.
Investment possibilities: agriculture (breeding of livestock), handy craft, folk art and rural tourism.
The village developed along the upper reaches of Lisznyó creek. The population is 87 (2002 census). In its boundary, in the former Temesváry garden, there is a sweet -sulphurous mineral water source. Earlier the warmed mineral water was used for treating rheumatic patients in baths.
Regardless of the small population, there is a primary school and a cultural centre. The Cultural Center's garden is the scene of many events during the summer.
Törökvár (Turkish Castle) can be found on the northern side of Várbérc, on the top of Borzos or Küszürüs mountains (919 m). It is supposed that there is a tunnel connecting it with the Csigavár (Snail's Castle) near Bikfalva. Barabás Castle stood on the top of Borzos Mountain. Folklore tradition has legends and beliefs for both castles.
The blue triangle trail shows the way from Lisznyópatak to the spine of the Bodza Mountains and to its highest point Szeredő, at 1029 m, where Snowdrops blossom in large fields in the spring.
The village's name Lisznyó is of Slavic origin meaning "forest". It was a village paying taxes at the beginning of the 14th century. Its name is mentioned in the Pope's Records in 1332.
It is situated in the valley of the Bodza Mountains, in the eastern part of the Háromszek hollow. The population is 447 (2002 census).
Touristic values: the Reformed Church monument, found in the centre of the village, which is surrounded by a circular fortress, the remains of a castle. Its tower was built on the remains of the castle. The church has some elements of gothic style. Its bell is also considered a monument, which was cast by Lampen Heinrich in 1693.
In Lisznyó, one can also find an old Greek Catholic Church and an Eastern Greek Church, which were built in the respect of Saint Peter and Paul. The latter's bell was cast in 1796. One can also find the manor-house of Tivadar Bedő.
Famous people from Lisznyó: Pál Kováts (1630-1695) teacher, writer of chronicles; Kálmán L. Damó (1823-1863) poet and revolutionary; András Dancsuly (born 1921) writer, teacher; Jenő Vargha (born 1924) chemist, teacher and György Kese (1906-1977) doctor and vocational writer were also born here.
Investment possibilities: timber industry, handicraft (pottery, there is good quality yellow clay), agriculture (mainly livestock breeding) and rural tourism.

The village lies at the foot of the Bodzaforduló Mountains in a picturesque setting, in the foregrounds of the beech forests. We can find its name in the Pope's Register of 1332. The population at the 2002 census was 379.
It's school is on the DJ-103B main street, which was built by the Hungarian Government, one of the 400 schools built in the year of the millennium (1896). On its frontage one can still find the plaque "In the memory of Hungary's thousand-year long existence."
In Lisznyó we can see the medieval tower of the reformed fortified church monument, and its irregular, oval battlemented fortress from the 16th-17th century, once used for defense purposes. Today's bell tower was a defendable donjon. With its narrow battlements it is one of its kinds in the county. Its original lanterns helmet of Barcaság style was changed in 1937 to pyramid helmet based on László Debreczeni's plans. Its small, gothic type church was rebuilt in 1863. Its antique bell, which is frequently mentioned in professional literature, still works. It was made by the famous Neidel Johannes, caster of bells. Its value is only increased by the fact that there is not only Latin, but Hungarian writing on it as well. The ancient graveyard's tombstones in front of the church were cleared of bushes in 2002.
Among the courthouses, which have an attractive exterior, there is the Simon house on Great Street, built in 1793, which is exceptionally attractive with its stone archway. The Jancsó house is in the same street. Another notable building is the house of Zsigmond Ödön on Church Street. The latter has asymmetrical pillared archway decorated with arched arcades. Other manor houses and mansions: Gergely Pall's mansion house (1830) on Great Street, with salient gable walls and an arched porch with baroque elements, with stout stone gate posts. The Molnár manor house, on the dam, built in 1822. "It has an arched porch, with folksy dwarf columns built of stone", therefore it is a unique version in Bikfalva. There are many more manor-houses: the Bőjthe-Cseke country house (1860), the Lajos Harkó owned manor-house, Vén-Ábrahám manor-house, the Zátyi house and the Gergely Páll house etc.
If someone is deeply interested in this historic village, they can visit the Csiga Castle (Snail Castle) in the forest above the village, or the legendary rock formation named Décse Rock.
Do to its tourism endowments, rural tourism is spreading. Pensions and guesthouses are opening frequently, part of which are modernized manor-houses (Öregdiófa) or newly built (Téglás pension, Mókus pension). The Bikkmakk Cultural Association has a display of its ethnographic collection in the former Village Hall, which can be visited by tourists.
Investment possibilities: handy craft, folk art, tourism, organizing hikes in the nearby mountains
Events: Bikfalva Village Festival: organized annually on the third weekend of May.

This Searing Light, the Sun and Everything Else
An exciting new book on Joy Division, featuring never before told stories.
Jon Savage's oral history of Joy Division is the last word on the band that ended with the suicide of Ian Curtis in Macclesfield on 18 May, 1980. It weaves together interviews conducted by the author, but never used in the making of the film Joy Division (2007) which told the story of the band in their own words, as well as those of their peers, collaborators, and contemporaries.
Here are 15 or so vivid witnesses to the band's genesis, meteoric rise, and tragic demise, including Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner, Annike Honore, Deborah Curtis, Paul Morley, Tony Wilson, Rob Gretton, Martin Hannet ... It is the story of young men driven to create and cause rock n' roll havoc inspired by literature, radical ideas, and the wasteland that was post-industrial Manchester in the late 70s. It is as intense and funny and alive on the page as only an oral history can be, recalling masterpieces like Edie by Jean Stein and Meet me in the Bathroom by Lizzy Goodman. It is essential reading.

Easy access dive sites: At Taqage the furthest away is 10 minutes by boat and the closest has been recorded at 19 seconds!
This enables us to offer the deeply civilised option of a morning two tank dive returning to the Fiji Hideaway Resort and Spa between the dives (depending on tides) for a restoring cup of tea or even a hint of breakfast. We are also usually back from the second dive by lunchtime, giving you the rest of the day to do all those relaxing holiday things that you can't do bobbing around on a boat.
We dive Monday to Saturday, usually 2 dives a day, with night dives on request.
Ras Bula
Ras Bula is a long boat ride for us – just over 10 minutes down the coast! Our mooring at Ras Bula is on a ridge of reef in front of the pier at Maui Bay. The ridge is carpeted with hard corals – there is an amazing one that has grown on our mooring line! Eagle rays frequently cruise down the side of the ridge and it is a great spot for Scorpion fish. Sometimes they take a bit of spotting – camouflage gone crazy!
The Maze is, well, a maze… In Midra Passage we have bommies which pop up close to the surface. Around and through these bommies and under the overhangs of the passage edges are swimthroughs and tunnels that twist round and about until we get to the Chimney – a tunnel through the reef that starts at 18m and pops out into the sunlight at 7 metres. There are schools of snapper and unicorn fish here and frequent encounters with reef and nurse sharks.
Bigfoot and Sundance
A wall dropping down 60 metres, with curling encrusting corals, waterfalls of fusiliers scattered by predatory trevally and snapper and a cave with a balcony frequented by hawksbill and green turtles. Shallower, the reef is pierced by crevasses and gullies that we can swim through into a pool of light where there is prolific hard coral growth, then a tunnel through the reef to 'Sundance'. Here, as we swim under the lip of the reef, the sun pours through holes and cracks, producing swaying, shimmering beams of light. Through all this swim reef surgeonfish, sweepers and trumpetfish, illuminated by the glittering rays cutting through the blue.
A reef wall that drops down to 30 metres, covered in colourful soft corals, sea whips and fans, strangely reminiscent of the paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec. OK, maybe not, but it's a lovely dive and you have to call it something. There are shallow caves underneath that often shelter a sleeping nurse shark, morays in holes on the cliff face, banded sea kraits and of course the usual colourful array of reef fish and corals.
Rock the Casbah! Casbah is virtually underneath the surf break directly in front of the Hideaway (it is important to mention that surfers generally don't like having their ankles grabbed from underwater whilst sitting on their boards……) allowing for a very short boat trip and our traditional quick trip back to the resort for a coffee in between dives.
Fanny Hill
Slap bang in front of Hideaway, Fanny Hill is a fantastic dive site for more experienced divers. Currents push through and around a series of underwater ridges pushing out towards the deep, crowned with coral and fringed with large gorgonian fans. Between these lie deep submerged valleys. The topography on its own is impressive, but this site is at its best when the currents are flowing and the big fishes come out to play. As you descend, barracuda schools appear from the blue, wrapping around divers until we almost disappear inside the vortex. Deeper down, we hover over the top of fan covered bommies, often causing turtles to swim grumpily off, and watch as grey reef sharks circle elegantly around. This is also probably our best site to see a Silvertip, a truly beautiful shark that appears, swooping in with the silver edges on its fins glowing. The dive moves across the valleys from ridge to ridge, before moving up to the main reef to do a safety stop on a sloping reef covered in beautiful hard corals typical of diving in Fiji.
An adrenalin dive for the first part of the dive as you fly through an underwater canyon, herding the schools of snapper and surgeon fish through the narrow underwater gorge. Graceful grey reef and white tip sharks glide up and down the walls through all the swirling fish. The canyon then opens up to an underwater beach where the current suddenly stops and we pause and wait for the sharks to return single file past us back into the channel. Then a short swimthrough takes us out into the clear blue of the Pacific. The second half of the dive is very different – a leisurely meander over hard coral gardens and through a long, sunlit tunnel with a wavy sandy
The walls of this dive site are thickly carpeted with soft corals which blossom in the current. Whilst there is a rainbow of different colours, here it is the purples, plums and violets which dominate, hence the name of the site. There are also big gorgonian sea fans, bright red in the glow of lights, white and black fans and sea whips. Around and amongst the coral there are an array of reef fish such as golden and purple anthias, zebra angelfish, clown triggerfish, oriental sweetlips, unicorns, bannerfish and an incredible variety of butterfly fish.
Perfect for beginners, great for the experienced diver, Stingray includes what must be one of the shortest boat rides to a dive site anywhere in the world – under 20 seconds at low tide! (High tide does add an exhausting 15 second extension to the trip). Starting very shallow, there is a resident school of barracuda in the bay, so many lion fish spotting and stalking their prey that after a while you can start ignoring them and concentrate more on the snapper, trevally, angels, butterflies, goat fish, flash coral and white tips.
The Edge of the world. From here south all there is is the great blue Pacific Ocean. The fish on The Edge don't seem to be particularly phased by their proximity to these vast depths, mind you. The tip of the reef where we moor here is a favourite spot for green and hawksbill turtles, and fusiliers and unicorn fish swirl around higher over the coral. The outer reef drops off at the end of Taqage channel. From there there is an easy swim across to the main reef. On the wall here there are proliferations of brightly coloured small soft corals, yellow sponges and pinkish white lace corals. From 5 metres up in the reef surge zone where the waves are breaking at low tide, amongst many other things we find schools of pyramid butterfly fish, hawkfish poised ready to swoop


"Methought I heard a voice cry 'Sleep no more!
"Macbeth" plays on some of our most basic fears – the dark, death and some of our actions defining us forever ("what's done cannot be undone"). With such a famous play it is all too easy to forget that fear. What does Macbeth see? What does the audience see? And how do we play with that fear? The workshop will consist of a symposium on fear and damnation followed by a practical exploration of witches, ghosts and other creatures of the night.

WORLD'S BEST GOLFERS WITH A DISABILITY TO COMPETE IN THE ISPS HANDA DISABLED GOLF CUP
Six Australia representatives will take on the world at 'Metro'
Melbourne, Victoria, AUS – Twelve of the world's leading golfers with a disability from seven different countries will compete in the ISPS HANDA Disabled Golf Cup, which will be contested 23-24 November immediately following second and third-round play of the ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf at The Metropolitan Golf Club.
The ISPS HANDA Disabled Golf Cup will showcase golf's inclusive design with players sharing the same test as the very best of professional golfers participating in the World Cup. The ISPS HANDA Disabled Golf Cup will mirror the World Cup format on the same tees and same course conditions.
The 36-hole invitational competition will be golf's opportunity to showcase the world's leading players with a disability (R4GD). The R4GD is a pan disability ranking system shared by 28 countries including Golf Australia.
"The ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf is proud to host the world's top golfers with a disability as they test their skills against one another in the ISPS HANDA Disabled Golf Cup," said ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf Executive Director Robyn Cooper. "A special opportunity awaits these athletes to compete on a global scale in front of the top professionals in the game while playing under pristine conditions at The Metropolitan Golf Club. It will undoubtedly prove to be an inspiring and memorable two days for all involved."
ISPS HANDA has been a leading voice in gathering support for the inclusion of disabled golf in the Paralympics, an initiative that is supported by the PGA TOUR and International Federation of PGA Tours. To continue to raise awareness of this initiative, ISPS HANDA will also host Blind and Disabled golf exhibitions at the 2019 Presidents Cup and the 2019 and 2020 Sentry Tournament of Champions.
"As we welcome the world's top golfers with a disability to Melbourne, the 'power of sport' will be on full display as they represent their country with pride in this inspirational competition," said Dr. Haruhisa Handa, Founder and Chairman of ISPS HANDA. "There's no better stage to celebrate these athletes and their abilities than the ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf, and we wish them luck as they continue to be a model of hope and inspiration for people around the world."
The 12 golfers will include six golfers from Australia and six golfers from the rest of the world, including Victoria's Mike Rolls, ranked 14th in the R4GD and the current Victorian Amputee Open winner. Rolls, whose ambition is to inspire others to take up the game, dedicates his resurgence with the game of golf through his father Ian, after dealing with multiple limb loss through contracting meningococcal septicaemia at a young age.
"I think this is probably the most excited I've ever been for a golf event," Rolls said.
"It's not just excitement about competing. It's excitement about where the game is headed in the inclusive space and I think that is going to provide so much hope. It's going to provide concrete pathways for people with a disability to take their love of golf, or to develop a love of golf and take it a long way into the future.
"There's never been anything which is standalone identifying people that have been through a wide variety of adversity and to be able to showcase, not only what they've been able to overcome, but how they've been able to focus that energy and focus and determination and drive into a sport that is really, really difficult for people with two arms and two legs and no physical ailments. I think that's where the impressive side of it comes for me."
Others planning to tee it up at 'Metro' include Australia's Geoff Nicholas, a legend of amputee and disabled golf who dominated the sport internationally in the 1990s and 2000s and earned the reputation as one of the true luminaries of the sport. He won both the British and U.S. Amputee Open Championships for 12 consecutive years between 1990 and 2002 and in 1992 earned his right to play on the ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia, competing against Greg Norman and Tiger Woods.
Players are representatives of the European Disabled Golf Association, a global collaboration of 28 countries worldwide sharing pathways for people with physical, intellectual and sensory impairments. Australian players are connected to the R4GD rankings and members of Amputee Golf Australia & Special Olympics Australia.
The ISPS HANDA Melbourne World Cup of Golf is one of five tournaments that are co-sanctioned by the International Federation of PGA Tours, joining the four events in the World Golf Championships series as tournaments which the Federation oversees. The International Federation of PGA Tours is an organization made up of all Tours from across the globe including the PGA TOUR, European Tour, Japan Golf Tour, the ISPS HANDA PGA of Australasia, the Asian Tour and Sunshine Tour (South Africa PGA Tour).

Flap's California Blog @ Flap Twitter Updates for 2012-08-15
AD-48: Roger Hernandez Initially Refused Blood Alcohol Test
Flap's California Morning Collection: August 15, 2012
By Flap in California Environmental Quality Act, California Proposition 37, California Workman's Compensation Insurance, Flap's California Morning Collection, Jerry Brown
Good Wednesday morning!
The California Assembly's Daily File is here and the California State Senate's here.
Jerry Brown and California's Nurses are active in and around the Capitol today.
Gov. Jerry Brown will be at Sacramento's New Technology High School this morning to promote Proposition 30, his tax measure on the November ballot. Teachers and others likely to benefit from the proposed tax increases will be joining him for the 10:30 a.m. campaign stop being billed as a "back to school" press conference.
Nurses are rallying outside the Capitol today to draw attention to a report about non-profit hospitals – and whether they earn their tax breaks. The noon rally by the California Nurses Association follows a 10 a.m. hearing on the same subject by the Senate Select Committee on Charity Care and Nonprofit Hospitals.
Dan Morain: Using CEQA as bait, Pérez muscles tax bill
On Monday, Assemblyman Brian Nestande, a Palm Desert Republican, broke with the GOP and voted for Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez's $1 billion tax hike to fund "middle-class scholarships."
On Tuesday, Nestande ceased being Assembly Republican Caucus chairman.
"I would prefer to say I stepped down," Nestande told me, though he had no choice.
The rest of us got a peek at how this town works, especially at the end of legislative sessions, when the insiders turn serious about doing their deals.
On the surface, Pérez won big on Monday, muscling his signature piece of legislation through the Assembly. As currently written, his Assembly Bill 1500 would raise taxes by $1 billion on out-of-state companies that sell heavily into California but have little payroll or property here. Think General Motors, Chrysler and, notably, Altria, also known as Philip Morris, the world's largest cigarette maker.
Republicans are all but irrelevant in the Legislature except when the talk turns to tax increases, which require two-thirds votes. To round up the few Republicans he needs, Pérez is offering sweeteners.
The biggest plum would be an overhaul of the California Environmental Quality Act, the 1970 law signed by then Gov. Ronald Reagan that has been used and sometimes misused to restrict and block development.
In an email that is bouncing around the Capitol, a Pérez aide circulated language for one version of the overhaul. Proponents of the changes say the proposal would remove red tape from development. Environmentalists say the proposal would gut the law.
Unions circulating draft of workers' compensation overhaul
Labor unions are making a late-blooming effort to raise long-frozen benefits for workers with job-related illnesses and injuries and promising employers enough administrative savings to pay for them.
A 45-point summary of the proposed legislation is circulating among lobbyists who specialize in the multi-billion-dollar workers' compensation system, seeking to undo, in part, the reforms that former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger pushed through the Legislature eight years ago.
The changes could be placed into Senate Bill 863, a workers' compensation measure being carried by Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, when their labor union sponsors line up enough support. Business support is critical because Gov. Jerry Brown has indicated that he wouldn't sign legislation on the subject that's opposed by employers.
Biotech food measure Prop. 37 on ballot
The controversy over genetically engineered food has moved up the chain, all the way to the ballot box.
In November, voters will decide whether to make California the first state in the nation to require labels on most genetically modified food products. At least 18 states, including California, have tried to pass similar laws through their legislatures and failed. This time, however, the measure made it to the statewide ballot with 1 million signatures.
Recent polls show the proposal, Proposition 37, winning by a 3-to-1 ratio, although opponents have raised more than $22 million – $4.2 million from agricultural giant Monsanto alone – to the yes campaign's $2.7 million in anticipation of a media battle leading up to the fall vote. The measure is opposed by deep-pocketed food manufacturers – including PepsiCo and Coca-Cola – the biotech industry and seed companies.

Madonna returns to Malawi with two adopted children
The 56-year-old singer makes her first trip since a very public falling out with the previous president Joyce Banda; the new president Peter Mutharika says the star is "welcome" and her charity work "appreciated"
By Aislinn Laing 27 November 2014 • 2:22pm
Madonna posing with surgical trainees at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Malawi
Madonna has returned to Malawi for the first time since she had a public spat with the southern African country's former president Joyce Banda over her charitable projects, as the new president extended an olive branch.
The pop star landed in the capital Lilongwe at around 11am on Wednesday, accompanied by David Banda and Mercy Chifundo, two children she adopted from the country, and her 14-year-old son Rocco along with an entourage that included advisers and bodyguards.
She later posted pictures of a visit she made to a Missionaries of Charity orphanage nearby, and sparked speculation among her social media followers of another adoption.
In one picture, Madonna is playing ball with a group of children. In two others, the same doe-eyed girl named Maria features, in one staring straight at the camera, in the other wearing the pop star's oversized designer sunglasses.
"Who's that Girl?" the singer captioned one picture, prompting a poster to write: "She is cute! Are u going to adopt again?"
On Friday, Madonna is due to meet Malawi's new president Peter Mutharika, who took over from Joyce Banda at the last elections.
Madonna and Mrs Banda had a series of public disagreements after the pop star sacked her sister, Anjimile Mtila-Oponyo, as head of her Raising Malawi charity.
Madonna tried to meet Mrs Banda during a visit to Malawi last year, but the president said the star was simply trying to get "poor people to dance for her" and refused, also accusing her of "blackmail" and "bullying".
She then stripped the Material Girl singer of her VVIP status, forcing her to check into her private jet at Kamuzu International Airport as an ordinary passenger.
The image that sparked new adoption speculation
On Wednesday, Madonna was restored to VVIP status.
"We were asked to clear the airport's cargo bay for a special guest," said an airport official.
He said Madonna was whisked into a fleet of SUVs and driven into town to Kumbali Lodge, a farm lodge where she always stays on her visits to Malawi.
The American star is due to hold talks with Mr Mutharika on Friday at his official resident, the Kamuzu Palace.
"We welcome Madonna as guest of the government and people of Malawi," said State House Press Secretary Frederick Ndala. "The President appreciates the charity work she is doing for the people of Malawi."
Trevor Neilson, president of the Global Philanthropy Group which works with Madonna, said her charitable endeavours in Malawi have included building schools for over 1,000 students and funding clinics and orphanages.

If you've read your Arizona history, you know that long before the pioneers of Phoenix, like Jack Swilling, and John Y.T. Smith, arrived, Arizona had been a battlefield. It was a place of war between Indian tribes, and they were bitter enemies. And if you've never read about that, it's not surprising. It's horrible. And although it's part of Arizona history, it really doesn't do to dwell on it too much nowadays. The war ended a long time ago, and those who had been enemies became enemies no longer.
I collect old photos of Phoenix and post them on a Google+ page, and everything I see makes me want to learn more. Last year, with encouragement from my Indian friends, I started posting, and writing, about the Phoenix Indian School. Because, even though there are a lot of photos of it, and even though there is a major street in Phoenix by that name, no one seems to talk about it. And those who do tend to just display ignorance, which saddens me.
Take a look at the 1898 Phoenix Indian School report above. Take a real good look. Nothing surprising, right? Now travel back in time to when this was printed. The school had been established only seven years earlier for the Pimas. And now enrollment was expanding to include the Apaches.
The elders must have wished for a day when hatred and bloodshed would end, and enemies would be forgotten. That Pima and Apache children could play together, be brothers and sisters. It must have seemed like a wild dream at the time, but it came true, and is true today.

I know that most everyone prefers to hang out with friends from their own region. Does anyone fancy getting the Mini's together in the paddock?
I offer our enclosed trailer and fake plastic grass as a central meeting point.
Post up if you are going to Nationals, what dates, how many Mini's/drivers, and if you want me to reserve space (if there is enough interest) for a Mini gang in the paddock.
Of course, let me know if this doesn't happen, and, I'll see if I can get there real early on Friday to reserve us all something in person if possible.
Great idea Grant. You can count me and my new codriver Josh Parker(He usually drives the CRX that came in 5th at the Devens tour) in. That's 2 more spots.
Craig, you're trailer doesn't have an observation deck on it?
Unfortunately it doesn't. When I bought the trailer last year, I really just bought it for use as a billboard for my salon's, and of course the ocassional road trip, so, I didn't consider this option when purchasing. I wonder if I can add that to the trailer? Probably would be too much for the return anyway, especially if we were anywhere except front row.
Felix, we will have the 2005 Cooper S there for GS and the Ladies.
Keep posting your names guys, I will use this tab to compile a list of the Mini gang.
I think with some of us arriving early for the ProSolo we should get a reasonable spot. But I'm not politically well enough connected to get the front rows.
Since I'm only 90 miles away, maybe I could switch my work assignment to paddock setup. I think those guys really got the pickin for what spots they wantedlast year if I heard correctly.
When I bought the trailer last year, I really just bought it for use as a billboard for my salon's, .
Having seen it personally, I can attest that it's one helluva good-looking billboard.
Count me in as well.......I just don't know whether I'll be at Nats in an MC or an MCS.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that you could only reserve close-in paddock spots for a max of two people, otherwise you had to go to the back rows.
You know, your probably right. So, maybe worrying about paddock placement shouldn't be a concern since were probably stuck towards the back anyway.
Better count me in for now - I'll be there the whole time. Head count so far would be two - myself and my girlfriend running in GSL.
Yeah, the front is reserved for something, can't quite remember what. I believe it's all the event officials and some vendors, etc. With all the golf carts, it really doesn't matter. I find it better to be further back to reserve a larger area.
It's a long trip from San Francisco so I always have a hard time justifying this type of madness. Anyway, I'm optimistic.... If I do make it to Nationals this year Lorin Mueller will be co-driving my car in HS.
Just got off the phone with TireRack.......215/40 16 Kumho 710's will now not be in until Sept 19th. I didn't get any of this last batch and I've been trying since early May(did I mention that I really hate this part of racing!!! ) Anyway, this pretty much means I will not be attending Nationals this year. Chances are the winner will be on Kumhos and I'm not willing to go down the Hoosier road.
Anyway, I've got a beautiful new set of Rota's just waiting for tires.....Guess I'll play in STS for the winter and see what the summer brings.
Best of luck to everyone going to Nationals.
I managed to get enought tires for Nationals, but not for the Finale... Oh well, I don't have a shot to win the Pro championship, so it's just practice anyway.
I have a set of S05's with 16 Pro Solo runs on them, two heat cycles. They've been hanging in my garage since Atlanta (where, BTW as a data point, I beat Mark who was on Kumhos).
The problem with the S05's is NOT that they aren't competitive, it's that they are more expensive and don't last for *#%!
1) I will bring them with me and you can have them for free!
2) BUT, if you or Lorin trophy, I'd like $200 for them.
What do you think? See you at Nationals??
Thanks for the offer. I'm not sure I want to drive 3600 miles to compete on used tires but it's definately something to think about... Let me see if I can sell that to my wife and I'll get back to you.
I sent in my registration for Nationals, but not the Pro. It will be my first time there.
just three weeks until GS runs, a little less for the ProFinale.
I have it on good standing that you can reserve spots for yourself and two other drivers when you arrive and organize paddock space. So a little difficult to arrange a heap of space for Mini drivers.
My plan is to arrive by mid-thursday, and I will ask for space a few rows back, I will mention that we expect about 10 Mini's and hope the nice paddock people leave a little space around me to fit the Mini's in.
So those Mini's arriving early for the Pro should be able to help reserve space for the Mini encampment. And those coming just for the Nats on Thurs/fri might be able to snag some spots vacated by the Tues/Wed drivers.
Glad to hear my exhorbitant use of plastic in May has been worthwhile. We have enough sets of V710's to run fresh rubber every day if needed.
If I arrive around 2PM on Friday as I hope to do, then, Ryan and I will help reserve spots as well for the guys showing up later on.
Got my Solo welcome newsletter last night.
If I understand correctly then I can reserve space for myself and two others but they cannot then reserve space? Is that correct?
And there is little chance of the first 5 rows. Rows 1 - 3 are for chiefs, stewards, vendors, and "100 percenters" (what?) and then rows 4 and 5 will go to copmpetitors reserving "single space".
Still I plan on arriving early Thursday am.
So I will reserve a space for myself, one for Carol (she is driving in Friday) and one for Craig W.
When Craig and Ryan arrive, then Ryan can reserve space for himself and two others next to us. maybe Jake N.
Some of the CO guys are arriving on Thursday and I will try to get positioned near them so we can hopefully secure a large block for the Mini's.
Courtney and I will be there all week so I will look for you guys. He's in the Pro but I'm not.
Yeah - hook me up with a spot by you and Craig. We should be getting in Thursday evening - probably after gates are closed, but we'll be there Fri AM.
Actually I'll be there Thursday as well Grant, so, if you have another name besides mine, reserve it under their name, that will get us an extra spot. Who wants me to reserve their spot? Ryan and I can hold 4 spots total, so, I'll make one of them Jake and one Shalyn???
I'll make one of them Jake and one Shalyn???

However, the release of Tizen 3.0 is expected only in Q3, 2014 and there is no information pertaining to the Tizen smartphone release date yet, but it is rumored to launch in February 2014.
Further, the company also reportedly announced Tizen Mobile Lite, which will work on low-end smartphones. This OS will require a minimum of 256MB of RAM, 512MB ROM, and HVGA or QVGA displays to run.
However, the first Tizen-powered smartphone is expected to be seen early next year. And so far Samsung's NX300M smart camera is the only device running on the OS. The device is only available in Korea.

Indiana's Nick Goepper takes bronze at world championships in ski slopestyle

PARK CITY, Utah — Indiana is not known for its skiing, but Nick Goepper is changing that.
Entering the 2019 FIS World Championships, the Lawrenceburg native had racked up five X Games medals, two Olympic medals and one world championship medal. On Wednesday, he added another piece of hardware to his trophy case, taking bronze in the freeski slopestyle competition on Park City Mountain Resort's Pick N' Shovel run.
He grew up crushing the runs at Perfect North Slopes on Indiana's southeastern border, where he said he would cruise the 400-foot hill for hours – from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. if he felt like it.
"It actually played to my advantage," he said. "You could get about 100 laps in in two hours, and that definitely allowed my ADD personality to be entertained after school every day."
For his outstanding achievements in the sport, he was given the Sagamore of the Wabash award, considered Indiana's highest honor. But at 24 years old, he's not satisfied yet.
He said that, while some of his medals mean more than others, his drive for success has not slowed.
"It's always still on the horizon," he said in a press conference on Wednesday. "It's always coming. I haven't gotten it yet, so I'm always trying to chase that."
That hunger was handy in Wednesday's competition, which was delayed twice due to blowing snow that slowed the skiers and impaired their vision.
Despite the conditions, Goepper mustered a run earning a 85.14. It started with a switch 450 pretzel on the first rail, followed by a switch 180 up the gap leading to the second rail, which he leaped onto with a left-side 270 disaster. He finished the rail section with a 270-on and a 630-off.
For his jumps, Goepper performed a switch right-side misty 900 with a mute grab, followed by a right-side double cork 1080 safety on the second jump and left-side double cork 1260 tail grab on the last jump.
Besting Goepper was James Woods of Great Britain, who won gold with a score of 86.68, and silver medalist Birk Ruud of Norway. Woods' medal is Great Britain's first gold at the world championship level in freestyle skiing.
While Woods and Goepper bristled at the idea of being the old guys in the sport, Goepper said he recognized that the roles have switched for him as a competitor.
"Now, being one of the more experienced guys, and seeing guys like Mac Forehand and Birk come down and put down these amazing runs, now I know what its like for the older guys when I was that 17-year-old coming up," he said. "And I'm definitely scared."
In the press conference, Goepper called Park City home, despite his Indiana roots. His friends and family were standing in the crowd.
"It feels really good to be back on the podium," he said.
But it won't be long until he's hunting again for what's over the next horizon.

Podwójna czarna dziura – układ podwójny złożony z dwóch związanych grawitacyjnie (orbitujących się wzajemnie) czarnych dziur. Układy tego typu mogą powstawać w czasie zderzeń galaktyk. Okrążając się wzajemnie, czarne dziury są bardzo silnym źródłem fal grawitacyjnych i w miarę utraty energii generowanej właśnie w postaci fal grawitacyjnych zbliżają się coraz bardziej do siebie, aby ostatecznie zlać się w jedną czarną dziurę generując przy tym jeszcze potężniejszą falę grawitacyjną.

Prawdopodobnymi kandydatami na układy tego typu są takie obiekty jak jądro galaktyki NGC 6240, a także SDSS J104807.74+005543.5, EGSD2 J142033.66 525917.5, A2261-BCG oraz OJ 287.

Can anybody tell me what on earth is going on here? I've got a VMWare guest (Linux Mint 17.2 KDE, 64 bit, running on VMWare Workstation 11) with Samba shares. Access from the Host as well as other devices in the LAN always worked flawlessly. But all of a sudden it has stopped working. The connection from the host to the guest is unstable at best but mostly not possible at all. I cannot even ping the guest. But what's strange is the fact that I can access the shares from my phone and I can also ping the guest from my phone. But it's also not possible to ping the host from the guest, even if I disable the hosts firewall. What can possibly be the reason for this?
P.S. It's no homegroup, it's an "ordinary" Windows network.

I've recently returned from an amazing trip to Hawaii! The first thing I noticed was the level of access available to people with disabilities.
Currently, Sydney airport does have a shuttle service but it's not wheelchair accessible. This limits our choices in getting to and from the airport leaving us the only option of either Taxi which can be expensive, or the train but not easy to do with luggage.
