To surprise your sweetie, bring her home a triple chocolate mousse. heart-shaped brownie or Brazilian chocolate decadence.
We can fool ourselves and think Valentine's Day is about so much more: flowers, walks on the beach and catching that latest streaming TV show together.
But who's kidding who? Valentine's Day is more a chocolate than a greeting card holiday, so here's some sweet samples from Collier and Lee counties to cure your sweet tooth and make your true love happier.
After sampling its heavenly chocolate delicacies, it's easy to see why the business is named Angelic Desserts.
The bakery café next to Pei Wei in the Shoppes at Vanderbilt in North Naples churns out a steady stream of masterful treats made of chocolate and other sweet ingredients.
A Valentine's special offers rich chewy chocolate cookies for just $1 each. One would never know the moist and tasty cookies are gluten-free.
Nearby in glass cases, cake truffles dipped in chocolate and topped with lines of white icing and pink hearts look ready for a romantic heart-shaped box. The truffles are $1.99 for regular bites or $2.25 for the gluten-free option.
The bakery features bite-size chocolate cupcakes, some decorated with piped-on red or hot pink hearts atop the usual swirl of icing, for $1.50 each. The bakery also has a cold case with slices of chocolate-dipped key lime pie for $5 each, frozen on a wooden stick for easy consumption.
The weather is warming and so are our hearts on Valentine's Day. Stay cool, at least from the heat, with a chocolate treat from Royal Scoop.
The ice cream shop, which has several locations from North Naples to Fort Myers, offers a variety of chocolaty flavors, including but not limited to, chocolate caramel fudge brownie, royal turtle (chocolate ice cream with caramel and pecans), and rocky road.
Looking for something different? Try the Valentine's Day special, which might get you a valentine if you don't already have one, called "cupid's love potion" (vanilla bean ice cream, a thick raspberry swirl and brownie chunks).
Find your nearest Royal Scoop by visiting www.royalscoop.com/store-locator/.
Dive into a slice of velvety smooth milk chocolate raspberry truffle pie ($10) at the dreamy Continental restaurant, 1205 Third St. S., in downtown Naples.
This decadent slice several inches high features a dark chocolate shortbread crust and layers of milk chocolate fudge and raspberry chatilly cream. A drizzle of fresh raspberry puree and a couple plump raspberries complete the decadent dessert.
Somewhere between cake and a melty fudge, the chocolate molten lava cake ($12) at Naples Coastal Kitchen, 13500 U.S. 41 N., North Naples, is a nicely balanced meld of chocolate, vanilla, fruit and genuine whipped cream.
It's served warm, but not hot, as some we've had are, so it's immediately edible, peeking out from under its fat scoop of Haagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream, with a spray of seasonal berries and fruit sauce drizzles.
Add a cup of coffee and you have a perfect dessert.
Tucked inside a Bonita Springs shopping plaza along U.S. 41 is one sweet spot.
Vanilla's Cakes & Desserts, 28441 U.S. 41 S., No. 205 (across from the Taco Bell) creates custom and wedding cakes, mini pastries, chocolate and sugar art and more.
To surprise your sweetie, bring her home a triple chocolate mousse with a berry-filled heart in the middle, heart-shaped brownie or a Brazilian chocolate decadence that tastes a bit like flan and looks like a round cathedral. How could something so heavenly be so sinful (for diets)?
The mousse tastes like rich pudding, with three chocolate flavors fighting for your tastebuds' attention. The Brazilian treat takes a few seconds to hit your palate. And the brownie is like the kind mom used to make — flaky and tasty — and not the gaggy super sweet variety found in the grocery store.

Sony has demonstrated a technology at CES that allows the PlayStation 3 to transfer Blu-ray movies onto the PlayStation Portable's memory card - potentially spelling the death of releasing movies in the UMD format. To acheive this in a timely manner, a PSP-specific version of the movie would be stored on the Blu-ray media, as opposed to having the PlayStation 3 re-encode the movies for the PSP?s resolution. The current Blu-ray movies on the market don't have this feature, however.
Phenom's B3 revision delayed, still has TLB bug?
AMD representatives have reportedly told a French hardware site that the B3 revision Phenoms - which are meant to contain the fix for the infamous Translation Lookaside Buffer erratum - still has the bug. The site suggest that another re-spin is in order, and this could push the launch of the bug-free Phenoms to as late as May. Of course, this remains subject to conjecture until we hear more of this from a more reliable source.
Expreview - the same site that published the first HD 3670 review - has now had a 3DMark benching session with a 9600 GT. The card's 64 stream processors, 512MB of memory, 256-bit memory bus, and of course core, shader and memory speeds of 650MHz, 1625MHz, and 1800MHz respectively, push the board to 10,357 points in 3DMark 06. The performance is almost identical to the 8800 GS - which is a temporary solution to fight the HD 3850 - and is a rough 2,000 points behind the 8800 GT.


Arkansas Black is a heritage apple variety that has been known since 1870. It is very disease resistant, and ripens very late, in November and December. This makes it an excellent food for deer and game. Its medium sized fruit has yellow skin that turns deep red to black, and keeps well in storage or on the tree. Chill hours 800. Ripens November.
Available at farm for pickup: 3-gallon and 5-gallon. Please call for prices and availability.


Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson fears players will pick up injuries because of Kilmarnock's artificial pitch.
And he has urged the Ayrshire club to examine how they treat the Rugby Park surface, which was installed in summer 2014.
Neilson was speaking on Hearts TV following Saturday's 2-2 draw between the sides in the Scottish Premiership.
"There's a lot of people sliding about and I worry people are going to get injured on it," said Neilson.
He said he was "all for" artificial surfaces "as long as they are looked after".
"But if they are not looked after then it can be a hazard at times," said Neilson.
Kilmarnock's artificial surface has hosted Scotland rugby fixtures as well as top-flight football.
"It's not ideal," insisted the Hearts boss. "I don't want to be too harsh on it.
"Sometimes you say it after getting beat or a draw and people think it's sour grapes, but I think it's something we need to have a look at."

There are many decorating tips that can make any move less taxing.
When you are to transitioning from apartment living to buying your first house, the task can be both exciting and overwhelming. Many people feel having a "whole" house to decorate is the most overwhelming part.
Often the furniture you have been living with is a collection of hand-me-downs and bargain basement finds combined with a few good pieces you've purchased.
The apartment remained very neutral because of landlord restrictions. And the fact you didn't want to put a lot of time and effort into a place that you knew you would be leaving.
You now have a house larger than the apartment…where do you start?
This is a great idea if you have discussed with the decorator how much input you intend to have in the process ahead of time. Her decorating tips and expertise will certainly be welcomed.
However, remember you are the one living in the house…the final decisions should be yours.
There are many horror stories about the decorator who arrives and announces that absolutely everything must be thrown out and you must start from scratch.
Decorating Tip: If the decorator advises you to throw everything out, the first thing that goes is the decorator!
Unless it is your choice to throw out everything, it is seldom necessary or realistic.
Unless your taste has changed 180 degrees, many existing pieces can be incorporated into your new home.
Decorator Tip: Mixing family heirlooms and "gently used" pieces with new gives the room personality. Your "hand-me-downs" can be a great accent or conversation pieces.
Take a careful, and honest, look at the hand-me-downs. Some pieces may be kept because they have sentimental value.
Some may be kept because they will serve the purpose until you can afford the new pieces you've chosen.
Another great decorating tip to consider when moving into a new space is walk through the entire house, looking at how each room relates to other rooms and passageways.
New homes tend to be more open with one room flowing right into the next. Older homes have more defined spaces, with definite delineations between rooms.
With this in mind, choose a color scheme. The wide-open floor plans of newer homes may require you to carry one color through several rooms if there isn't a logical place to stop one color and start another.
Colors create specific sensations in all of us, so choose colors you are comfortable with and not whatever colors are the latest trend.
Which comes first…fabric or wall colors?
Decorator Tip: The general consensus among decorators is selecting a paint palette is less of a hassle if the fabrics are chosen first.
It is much easier to find a paint color to go with a fabric than to find fabric to go with paint.
You can always have paint colors custom mixed… a textile manufacturer won't change a fabric color just for you!
Remember, your walls will be the largest field of color and have the greatest impact. Choose two or three coordinating colors for the trim and ceilings.
No, ceilings DO NOT have to be white!
Decorating Tip: A good rule of thumb when combining colors is to use your primary color 65-70%, your secondary color15-20% and your accent color the remainder.
Decorating Tip that saves frustration: Prioritize your rooms.
If you can't decorate the whole house all at once (and few of us can!), list them from the most to the least important.
Can't decide on a "must do first" room?
Usually, it's the family room or living area. It would make sense to start there.
what that room will be used for.
How much traffic will it get?
What kind of natural light will it receive?
Is there already a focal point (fireplace, Palladian windows etc) or do you need to create one?
What special pieces do you already have that could be incorporated into the new decorating plan?
Once you answer all these questions, you are ready to make your new choices.
Write your plan down and take it with you when you shop. Don't be influenced by the latest trends if they don't fit in with your plan. At the same time, don't be so rigid that you can't bend a little to accommodate a great find.
If you haven't already done so, read the Decorating Ideas pages. They provide a basic plan for tackling your decorating project.
Decorating Tip: Organize your samples and ideas.
After you've spent the time to collect paint chips, fabric samples, design ideas from magazines and sketched out floor plans, it helps to keep everything organized.
Your samples and ideas are of no use if you can't put your hands on them when you need them!
The Deco-Organizer is a great tool. It provides a system that easily allows you to record all your information and measurements and keep them right at your fingertips.
No more hunting for all the little samples and slips of paper you wrote measurements on! It's an easily portable organizer ready to go anywhere.
Everything is right there in one binder!
Decorating Tip: Gather ideas from many sources.
If you are at a point in life where home decorating is a new interest, look to many resources for information and inspiration.
There are thousands of books and websites dedicated to home decorating…you can't possibly read them all (but I try!).
Throughout this site, I have included several additional sources I think are worth a look.
One great site is Home Decor 101 – It provides numerous resources on interior decorating, gardening, home organization, and more. It's an enjoyable and interesting site to explore.
Armed with these ideas and decorating tips, you are ready to take on any project!

From Steve Brown today. It sounds like there is still a large amount of red tape to get this to fruition.
So keep in mind these very conceptual renderings since they were done up by CBRE. They are merely there to sell the property not to actually build this exact product. I wouldn't get too much hope on what you see in them just that Forest City and Trademark were obviously sold on the idea.
With that said no stand-alone CVS Pharmacy, suburban Kroger, Sam's Club or garden style apartments please.
Dear Forest City/Trademark find some way to look towards the future and build something that will change the face of Riverfront Blvd and not just wall off itself from the Bail Bonds and Jail. Build something that truly does try to look beyond the freeways and ditch of a river we have now.
This is the property Mark Cuban owns, right?

It's property he had the option of buying for the Mavs HQ and passed on it. He bought the land in the Design District instead.
But, how many people really would want to live so close to the jails, or how many would want that as their main focus when they look out their windows?
Isn't there a plan to decommission and remove those jails? If I had to guess, those jails will be gone before anybody has to see them out of their nextdoor windows, which may say as much about this project's prospects as it does about the jail's longevity.

Seriously, this. That damn jail needs to go. Half of it isnt in use anymore, but the issue is that the county will do its best to keep the jail there regardless and will refuse to pay, because that is what Dallas County does.
The whole complex doesnt need to be moved and torn down, just the jail portion itself and the abandoned jail across the street. The actual building that houses the offices and the court system offices isnt actually the worst looking building ever and could probably blend in just fine with surrounding development.
So is there actually a plan to move that jail or a link to the plan?
Since when has half the jail not been in use? They just expanded the jail in the last few years. The private state jail across the street was closed and it actually had dangerous criminals in it. That was the real problem for developers.
If Forest City and Trademark are buying the property I doubt their indicators have shown it will as big of an issue as some of you think.
Any fancy development next door to the jail will simply have few windows on the jail side, out of sight out of mind.
If there were ever a case for a big, soulless parking garage that doesn't address the space around it, it would be here. Make it 6-8 levels and then build some type of mesh screen above that and call it art. The buildings to the north of it can gradually increase in height so that the tallest building is farthest from the jail.
Actually, "hiding" the jail isn't as big of a challenge as connecting the properties north and south of Woodall Rodgers. Your options are 1) use the sidewalk on Riverfront or 2) build some kind of ramp to the levee and down to the Skyline trail so people take the existing ramp back up to the levee north of the Continental bridge.
The jail should be somewhere near I-20. Needs to be moved. Easier said than done.
Tivo_Kenevil wrote: The jail should be somewhere near I-20. Needs to be moved. Easier said than done.
That's a statement. Just send it down south.
And why should it be near I-20?
Further from the city center. The 20 corridor in Dallas is essentially a warehouse district now.
If you're gonna move the jail, Galleria Midtown might be better, or somewhere off Lemmon by Love Field.
I would like to be clear that my statement isn't one founded in disdain for South Dallas.
I would say a more accurate chain is, 'The courtrooms bring nothing but jails and bail bond businesses.' As it is now, the jail simply must be near the courts. Supersizing the jail houses and consolidating them downtown is a bigger problem; it's supposed to save money by having everyone serve time in the same location (close to the court), but rehabilitative services (for those needing it or there that long) were scraped out of the whole process. Maybe each neighborhood should have a jail sized to the residential population of the neighborhood.
Whatever, but if we're going to seriously think about a better place for gigantic county jails, we need to first think about why they're all downtown.
Moving the jail to southern Dallas would continue a history of locating low income housing, land fills, incompatible uses, truck stops, etc in southern Dallas. It would send the wrong message to existing businesses, residents, and potential investors and would further complicate efforts to build economic momentum for the area. The jail needs to be mitigated where it is.
joshua.dodd wrote: Further from the city center. The 20 corridor in Dallas is essentially a warehouse district now.
Warehouses represent jobs, like them or not they do provide jobs and thousands of them at that. And they also are offering jobs in an area of the city that desperately needs them. This "warehouse district" gives workers entry level opportunities and place to grow. Most warehouses are much more advanced than they used to be and require much higher skill levels to keep them running. The attitude on this forum by some of the members regarding the south is pretty bad. I would have thought that would have been better these days but apparently it isn't. I would love to see somebody with an opinion like this go into a public meeting and explain why the jail belongs down in their community because the I-20 area is nothing more than a warehouse district. AllianceTexas is a warehouse district but I bet nobody would suggest that Fort Worth send their jail up there.
^ya, if we're going to have new municipal infrastructures, the unsavory burdens should be shared with the north so the south gets a chance to load up on the nicer things.
I think there's already a prison off I-20 near I-45 and another a few miles further east in Seagoville. For this to fly, there needs to be options for current residents and those who will be gentrified in West Dallas. We need more low-income and affordable housing in Downtown Dallas and in all areas North. Why should folks in southern Dallas, regardless of economic status, have to endure another jail or prison in their neighborhood?
The southern sector of the city is less dense and less populated than the northern districts, which is why new warehouse districts are popping up and why it is the perfect location for a new jail. . .
Could old Dallas jail be reborn as new homeless services center?
..."This is an opportunity to do something for these people, but not in the traditional way where you have a warehouse and you put a lot of beds in there," Moayedi said. "There has to a situation where people are treated with respect."
Because the building has almost no parking, developers haven't been able to come up with a plan to convert the building into apartments, offices or other uses ... "The building is useless when it comes to anything else."
"It will take about $10 million ... I want to do it privately without any help from the government. ..."We are going to work with faith-based organizations to try and get this done."
He said the facility could house up to 1,000 people with facilities for medical, mental health and job counseling services. "You couldn't find a better location - it's surrounded by commercial properties."
I'll go ahead and answer this headline's question: No. Just about everything cited in that blog post sounds like a false promise.
2) Treat the homeless with respect, "...not in the traditional way where you have a warehouse and you put a lot of beds in there" yet he anticipates a facility could house up to 1,000 people.
3) "You couldn't find a better location - it's surrounded by commercial properties." Oh please, someone needs a map and better grip on reality.... this jail is surrounded by another Jail and it's parking lots, the Trinity River flood channel, railroad tracks and highways, Bail Bonds and liquor stores.
This is a nightmare scenario for the homeless population.
If you actually intend to help and house those temporarily homeless, the facility should accommodate no more than ten people or three family groups. Piling up to 1,000 homeless people into a 10 story renovated jail building makes recovery even more difficult.
Are we actually being asked to believe there's no where to park or nothing could be done to increasing parking. Look at the picture.
The only time I could see this proposal has any merit is in an emergency.
I'll go ahead and answer this headline's question: No.
I wonder what Centurion is really trying to do here. Are they really interested in running a homeless facility or is this a way to get a building for pennies on the dollar? Maybe they use this as leverage when asking City Hall for favors in the future.
^Centurion wants a bunch of churches to pay for scraping out everything that makes this building a jail and probably turn it into a data center or something like that.
I don't believe there's a social services professional in this country who would honestly say it's productive and healing to house up to a thousand hobos/vagrants/temporarily homeless folks into one building anywhere let alone next to a jail and all the liquor stores.
There's certainly the need for a large scale "homeless population processing center" but that is a function resting solely with the public hospital. Temporary dwellings must be spread across the city in stable neighborhoods, same with housing societal orphans incapable of taking care of themselves.
This story combines 505 Riverfront, Dawson Jail and Slate "City Lights" (W. Commerce & Beckley, which we haven't heard from in a while) in one story. However, the author oddly misidentifies 505 Riverfront as the site of Trinity Groves's future hotel and office project.
"This is a Trinity centric project," Pruitt said. "This is a long term project - it's a 10-year project."
I passed the HKS office at One Dallas Center during my lunch break today, and they had a lot of graphics posted on the wall. One caught my eye. It was a computer generated layout the Southwest corner of the CBD, with some development mapped out. The Trinity River was completely filled in with water, shore to shore, and it looked like Downtown Dallas with a waterfront. It was very intriguing as I have talked before about completely filling the Trinity around Downtown and making it a reservoir like Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin (which is man-made). Then a boardwalk, piers, and waterside development along it.
A new street would run through the middle of the project from Stemmons Freeway to the river. The project would include a multi-level big box retail center.
It would be great to see Target move here so that Cityplace Market can finally evolve into something urban.
Somewhere along the line I heard this site was pretty high on Amazon's list in Dallas. Seems like a difficult location for transit options but I guess we will find out soon. To be honest I hope they go somewhere else.

Look at it this way Amazon would require the city to meet some goals on the Trinity project if they felt it was a large part of the attraction to a site they might choose. Similarly, when Forest City was initially going to do the Mercantile redo they put the city on contract to build Main Street Gardens by a certain date. Forest City knew the park would be an asset to sell units and if Amazon is considering any sites close to the Trinity they would require some commitment by the city on moving the Trinity park forward. Amazon won't be sold by the usual look at these pretty renderings of one day what it could be in a fantasy land that the Trinity boosters have been passing out since 98.
That's the kind of "incentives" I could be more excited about. The kind where the city contractually needs to make improvements to retain a company like Amazon. Lord knows the only thing that lights City Hall's keester is corporate influence. Amazon could potentially see it as a way to make a positive impact and PR splash if they are the reason the Trinity appears to have finally moved forward.
Mind you that's if they don't wanna stay out of all the BS that has weighed down the project since 98 and beyond.
This may be the most hokey conclusion to jump to, but I think it would be amazingly appropriate/ironic if Amazon the company were able to be the final catalyst to turn our dreams of a large, wide river amenity into a reality.
Maybe they could rename the Trinity the "Lil Amazon".
"We think this site will have demand for all four of the commercial real estate uses, from hotel, retail to multi-family to office, and would be a place where Google would go if they wanted to be downtown and have the ability for employees to walk to work," Montesi said Jan. 31.
"There would be some cool factor to it with less spit-shine and polish compared with Uptown," he added. "I think this could be a great new neighborhood."
I like the "less spit-shine" part too, I've been worried about the design district being consumed.

I wonder if there are a lot of companies just sitting on the sidelines waiting to see what Amazon will do with their HQ2, though I'm not sure exactly what the benefit would be. Maybe there are smaller companies that will want to go where Amazon goes? Maybe there are larger companies that will try and 'swoop in' and cut a deal with the cites that didn't get Amazon.
This article mentions this site could attract a company like Google, so this was just a thought.
I am all for a quick and dirty BRT to get things moving. Make a plan for building out better stations. Do a studied plan to determine if the streetcar is the eventual need and how long BRT might serve the same function for how long.

Geneva Motor Show: Ford promises to expand ethanol/flexifuel lineup in Europe
Mar 7th 2007 at 12:41PM
As we found out yesterday, one of the pushes that Ford is doing in Geneva is beefing up its ethanol-capable vehicle line in Europe. This might be considered a Bold Move, as ethanol is not exactly common in the EU, although there are expected to be over 60 ethanol plants in Europe by the end of next year.
Ford of Europe will bring out three flexifuel models by early next year: the New Mondeo, Galaxy and S-MAX,. Currently, the Focus and C-MAX (pictured) are available with flexifuel engines. The S-MAX was selected Car of the Year 2007, so the addition of ethanol capability might prompt more ethanol production (or importation) in Europe. Ford of Europe has sold 28,500 Ford flexifuel units in Sweden since introducing them there six years ago. Read more after the break.
Ford also announced yesterday that the C-MAX would sell for between £12,995 to £19,045 starting in April.

[Source: Ford]
NEW MONDEO, GALAXY AND S-MAX FLEXIFUEL MODELS TO BE LAUNCHED IN EARLY 2008
Ford of Europe commits to further reduce CO2 with three new flexifuel models in early 2008
New Mondeo, Galaxy and S-MAX will join existing Focus and C-MAX flexifuel models
With these new models, Ford will offer one of the broadest flexifuel portfolios in Europe
Move underpins Ford's recognized position as a market leader of affordable and available low-CO2 vehicle technologies
GENEVA , March 6, 2007 – Ford of Europe announced today it will step up its efforts to further reduce CO2 by adding three new flexifuel models to its range.
The striking all-new Mondeo, the Ford Galaxy and the Ford S-MAX – Car of the Year 2007 – will be made available with flexifuel powertrains from early 2008. Combined with Ford's existing Focus and C-MAX flexifuel models, this will give the company one of the broadest ranges of flexible fuel vehicles available in Europe.
"Flexifuel technology offers us a real opportunity to make personal mobility more sustainable right now," said John Fleming, President and CEO, Ford of Europe. "This efficient, environmentally advanced technology is one easy way in which we all can do something positive to combat climate change without giving up basic needs such as personal car use. "
"Flexifuel technology is available today and it's affordable, not only for the environment, but also for the customer," Fleming added. "We're committed to pursuing a portfolio of technologies with the ultimate goal of reducing CO2, and we see flexifuel as one of the most affordable and fuss-free options, provided the fuel infrastructure continues to grow."
Ford of Europe – the Flexifuel Pioneer
Ford is the market pioneer of flexifuel vehicles (FFVs) in Europe where it sold more than 28,500 Ford flexifuel units since market introduction in Sweden six years ago. Ford can also claim the largest owner body for FFVs in Europe as a result of this industry-leading initiative.
While the majority of these FFVs have been sold in Sweden, the two current models – the Ford Focus and C-MAX flexifuel – have progressively been made available in a rapidly increasing number of European markets (11). The next market will be Italy where the two models will be available for sale starting in the second quarter 2007. Ford is confident that more markets will follow as the demand for this type of technology is expected to continue to grow, especially as the European Union works to increase the use of bio-fuels in the future.
Ford's alternative fuel portfolio is complemented by additional availability of CNG (compressed natural gas) versions of Focus C-MAX and Transit - plus Transit LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) - in selected markets.
Through this and its range of low-CO2 conventional vehicle technologies, such as its high tech clean diesel technologies with amongst-best-in-class CO2 performance (starting with the Ford Fiesta at 116 gCO2/km), Ford is offering one of the broadest low-CO2 vehicle portfolios in Europe already today.
Strengthening Commitment
As a result of its growing market success, Ford recently strengthened its European alternative fuel vehicle organization and named Jan Brentebraten to the newly-created position of Director, Flexifuel and Alternative Fuel Vehicles strategy.
This comes as a result of Ford's 2006 announcement of a £1 billion (approx. €1.5 billion) investment to develop a broad range of environmental technologies for Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo cars. These technologies include flexifuel and alternative fuel vehicles. Under this plan more than 100 models and derivatives with improved emissions or fuel economy will be introduced over the next five years, including the introduction of a sub-100 gCO2/km version of a regular Ford Focus.
Like the Focus and C-MAX flexifuel models, the new Ford Mondeo, Galaxy and S-MAX flexifuel models are designed to run on a high blend bio-ethanol in petrol (up to 85% bio-ethanol, sold as E85), as well as on petrol only, or on any combination of both fuels, making them exceptionally flexible. The use of bio-ethanol in combination with Ford's flexifuel technology can lead to up to 80% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
Full technical and market availability details of the new models will be released closer to launch early in 2008.
"With the extension of our flexifuel fleet across the heart of our European car line, Ford of Europe will take another major step towards making mobility more sustainable," Fleming said.

Pro- and anti-whaling discourses in British and Japanese newspaper reports in comparison: A cross-cultural perspective
Kumiko Murata*
This article compares and contrasts the discourse of whaling in British and Japanese newspaper reports. It investigates the ways in which pro- and anti-whaling discourses are formulated in the press by examining, in particular, the following features: (1) the use of specific lexis and syntactic structures, (2) the use of rhetorical devices, and (3) the control and organization of information at a discourse level. The article claims that British and Japanese news reports use very different strategies in expressing their anti- and pro-whaling stances; the former tend to use a more emotive and provocative tone, whereas the latter use a more restrained and factual tone. The article also claims that the issue of whaling tends to be discussed under different cultural assumptions and values in the respective discourses; and thus, suggests the possibility that readers may be influenced by the cumulative effects of these different discourses.

The Music Box Theatre
A.R. Gurney's Memorial at The Music Box
Sigourney Weaver, who acted in Gurney's plays Mrs. Farnsworth and Crazy Mary, periodically appeared onstage with her husband Jim Simpson. Mr. Simpson was the former Artistic Director of The Flea Theater which presented 15 of Gurney's works. Throughout the celebration the couple reminisced about the writer and recited biographical details about him, while illustrative slides depicting his life were projected. At the conclusion of this portion, in white lettering on a black background, were projected the titles of Gurney's 48 plays. It was a stark testament to his achievements. [more]
The way Mr. Levenson keeps things moving is both clever and exhausting. The songs mostly explore the inner emotional lives of the characters: "Waving through a Window" (Evan's feelings of alienation); "Anyone Have a Map?" (frustrations of the two moms); "To Break in a Glove" (Larry Murphy's heartbreaking song of unfulfilled paternal rituals); and the heartbreak and promise of "For Forever" which ends the show. [more]
The Heidi Chronicles
The maternal ending was considered problematical in 1988, but seems less of a copout in 2015. In fact, the feminist thrust of the play has also dulled in the ensuing decades, making Ms. Wasserstein's play far less effective as an instructive tool. " The Heidi Chronicles" has always been weighed down by too much polemic passed off as drama. What keeps this production afloat now is the incredible filigreed and witty lines that so quickly delineate each character's foibles and feelings. [more]

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – As Ho Chi Minh City's iconic French colonial architecture fades away and shiny skyscrapers punctuate the new skyline in the Southeast Asia megacity of 13 million people, there is one man who might be the last vestige of Vietnam's colonial past.
Duong Van Ngo is the only remaining public writer and still pens letters from the grand 19th century Saigon Central Post Office in Ho Chi Minh City, built when Vietnam was still a part of French Indochina.
Saigon was the capital of South Vietnam before the war and the named changed to Ho Chi Minh City after North Vietnam overtook the city in 1975. Many Vietnamese, especially in the south, and foreigners still refer to the city as Saigon.
"I began to work for the post office when I was only 16, in 1946," the 89-year-old told Al Jazeera, speaking at Saigon Central Post Office.
Every morning, he tapes a piece of paper with the words "Public Writer" in French, Vietnamese and English on a panel near his wooden table, completing his makeshift office.
At 8am every morning, he unpacks his black leather bag, placing a magnifying glass and a weathered copies of English-Vietnamese dictionaries on his table.
She didn't speak any French and relied on Ngo to communicate with her now husband. She still keeps the letters written at her home in France.

ByteDance and Qualcomm have announced a collaboration to develop the XR device
Last updated on June 14th, 2022 by Panox Display | Read 323
Tags : XR-Device
What is XR?
XR means Extended Reality, which contains VR, AR, and MR.
The Mobile World Congress (MWC2022) was held in Barcelona, Spain, which was when ByteDance(the holding company of Tiktok)and Qualcomm announced that they will work together to develop XR devices and software to build a global XR ecosystem.
CEO of ByteDance, Liang Rubo said that ByteDance is committed to building solutions that empower developers and creators and will join Qualcomm in hardware, software, and technology routes to launch the XR ecosystem. Its Pico devices will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon Spaces XR developer platform.
ByteDance officials said in an interview that the latest data shows that ByteDance's Pico company has risen from the world's third-largest VR hardware supplier to second place, after Meta Quest (formerly OculusQuest), but the gap is large. Meta Quest has a global market share of over 70%, whereas Pico's is about 6%.
With the strong support of ByteDance, Pico terminal shipments are expected to increase significantly in 2022, the official said. In the next step, Pico will increase investment in chips, optical devices, sensors, and other hardware, strengthen software research and development in the fields of perception and interaction, and make efforts for ultra-HD VR content production.
It is worth mentioning that during the Beijing Winter Olympics, Pico cooperated with CCTV Media Group to launch the central video VR App, supporting Pico Neo 3 devices to watch the VR live broadcast and video of the Winter Olympics, which has been widely praised by users.
As augmented reality glasses become an extension of smartphones, the smartphone market says XR will be bigger. It is reported that Qualcomm has reached cooperation with a number of XR software and hardware manufacturers, with MetaQuest2 and other VR headsets using Qualcomm XR dedicated chips.

Biogeography of Philippine marine snakes
Marine snakes offer an excellent system to examine speciation and evolutionary transitions among a various habitats. This young lineage of reptiles originated in a megadiverse region in Southeast Asia known as the Coral Triangle. Despite its unprecedented local species diversity, this global biodiversity hotspot's epicentre, the Philippines, is likely the world's most data deficient archipelago for modern scientific research and information for sea snakes.
My research project looks to generate important information on the biodiversity and evolutionary biology of Philippine marine snake species and seeks to work on the following:
Uncovering Philippine marine snake diversity
Most of the species records for the Philippines are inferred from and informed by dated literature. I look to conduct a Philippine biodiversity survey of marine snake species to update the existing records of this biodiversity hotspot. This will allow for possible enhancement in the resolution of this group's phylogeny and the potential discovery of undescribed species.
Elucidating Philippine biogeographic regions for marine snakes
The ecological associations of marine snakes with coral reefs and fisheries may influence the distribution of their species populations. Here, I seek to understand if the archipelagic nature of the Philippines plays a role in the formation of biogeographic regions for these marine snakes. I also look to conduct seascape genomics studies to describe how the archipelagic configuration and anthropogenic features influence species connectivity.
Understanding the curious case of the Lake Taal Sea Snake
The Philippines is home to the only freshwater 'sea' snake species, the Lake Taal Sea Snake (Hydrophis semperi). Here, I look to uncover the evolutionary history of H.semperiwhich led to its formation as its own species. I also seeks to understand its adaptations which allowed its persistence in a freshwater habitat.
Altogether, I hope to provide a substantial novel data stream which can be leveraged to allow a more holistic approach in the conservation and management of Philippine marine environments.

Als Heimschläfer werden Soldaten der Bundeswehr bezeichnet, die von der Pflicht zum Wohnen in der Gemeinschaftsunterkunft (Kaserne) befreit wurden und zu Hause übernachten dürfen. Grundsätzlich sind bei der Bundeswehr unverheiratete Soldaten bis zum vollendeten 25. Lebensjahr sowie Teilnehmer an dienstlichen Lehrgängen "kasernenpflichtig", also zum Wohnen in der Gemeinschaftsunterkunft verpflichtet.

Die Befreiung ist durch den kasernenpflichtigen Soldaten zu beantragen und stichhaltig zu begründen. Bloße Annehmlichkeit ist als Grund nicht ausreichend, vielmehr müssen besondere familiäre, häusliche oder wirtschaftliche Zwangslagen die Befreiung rechtfertigen. Als Rechtfertigungsgründe kommen Versorgung Angehöriger oder eines eigenen landwirtschaftlichen Betriebes in erreichbarer Nähe der Kaserne in Frage. Ferner können mangelnde Unterbringungsmöglichkeiten in der militärischen Liegenschaft die Genehmigung des Antrags auch ohne die aufgeführten Gründe ermöglichen.

Die dienstliche Leistungsfähigkeit darf durch die Befreiung nicht gefährdet werden und daher ist die Genehmigung des "Antrags auf Befreiung von der Verpflichtung zum Wohnen in der Gemeinschaftsunterkunft" meist mit Auflagen verbunden. Die Befugnis zur Befreiung von der Pflicht zum Wohnen in der Gemeinschaftsunterkunft kann ein Disziplinarvorgesetzter mit den disziplinaren Befugnissen der Stufe 2, also meist in der Stellung eines Bataillonskommandeurs, erteilen. Der nächste Disziplinarvorgesetzte des Antragstellers (in der Regel der Einheitsführer) nimmt vorab zum Antrag des Soldaten Stellung. Neben der Erlaubnis zu Hause zu schlafen, ist mit der Befreiung auch der Wegfall des Zapfenstreichs und die Auszahlung des Verpflegungsgeldes für Frühstück und Abendverpflegung an den Soldaten verbunden.

Umgangssprachlich wird allerdings auch ein Soldat als "Heimschläfer" bezeichnet, der zwar eine Stube mit Bett hat, es allerdings nicht benutzt, weil er so nahe an der Kaserne wohnt, dass er zu Hause übernachtet. Rechtlich gesehen nutzen diese Soldaten jedoch nur den "Ausgang bis zum Wecken" (bzw. Dienstbeginn), den praktisch jeder Bundeswehrsoldat hat, außer er unterliegt dem Zapfenstreich (nur bei Rekruten oder vor besonderen Dienstverrichtungen, wie z. B. Übungen) oder einer Ausgangsbeschränkung als besonderer erzieherischer Maßnahme.

I find that answer vague and unconvincing. Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? And say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
And I'm sure the Empire of Dreams HD "remaster" will be included, complete with upconverted interviews and replaced film footage.

This new 27-disc set, is now listed on Amazon UK and available for pre-order:-
'Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - Limited Edition Complete Box Set UHD [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free] (Limited Edition. Exclusive to Amazon)'
The cost is £180 (US $235, or 210 euros)
There is also the blu-ray version listed too (18 discs), available to pre-order:-
Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Complete Box Set [Blu-ray] [2019] [Region Free]
The cost is £65 (US $85, or 76 euros)
The DVD version (9 discs):-

Mocata
Does the disc count add up to existing releases combined or something new?
Yub Nub for life
Broom Kid
People are guessing (details haven't been released as to what the contents are)
9 4k UHD discs (one per film)
9 Blu-ray discs (one per film)
9 bonus discs (one per film)
And that seems to be the best bet considering the blu-ray only set is exactly 9 discs less than the 4k set.
It could be possible that the 9 bonus discs are not a per-film thing (this is where whatever original versions hope one might have still lives) at which point you could have the bonuses broken out in a bunch of different ways, with three discs (or even more, considering the theatrical cuts of the Prequels aren't available anymore either) dedicated to presenting the originals at 1080p, and all the rest of the bonus features occupying whatever discs are left.
sade1212
Either those bonus discs are going to be a real waste of storage space, or we're getting a considerable amount of bonus content for the OT and PT that wasn't on the complete Bluray set, which had just three bonus discs for the six films. The ST stuff will just be the same stuff that came with their recent Bluray releases, I imagine.

oojason said:
Glad to hear I don't need to get the 4k versions. I probably will have to get this, if nothing else for the new transfer of the OT SE. I hope there are good special features. I think I'll wait for some reviews of what is in it before buying it.

sade1212 said:
kinda mad the standalone 4k release for rise of skywalker doesn't appear to include a blu-ray bonus disc like the last few films have.

Benjjedi said:
I agree with the sentiment, since you probably mean a respectful NEW transfer of the unaltered original trilogy. Technically the acronym GOUT is reserved specifically for the modified Laserdisc transfer made available on DVD form as a bonus feature (and as a middle finger to fans). That thing better not be making any more appearances.

Apetit Group's operating profit at the same level with the comparison period – Food Solutions and Oilseed Products clearly ahead last year, Grain Trade suffers from the loss-making start to the year
Apetit Plc, Stock Exchange Release, 29 October 2021 at 8:30 a.m.
Apetit Plc's Business Review 1 January–30 September 2021
July–September 2021, continuing operations*
Net sales amounted to EUR 64.5 (72.1) million
EBITDA was EUR 4.2 (4.0) million
Operating profit was EUR 2.6 (2.5) million
January–September 2021, continuing operations*
Net sales amounted to EUR 200.9 (211.0) million
*) Apetit's continuing operations are Food Solutions, Oilseed Products and Grain Trade. In addition to the three reporting segments (Food Solutions, Oilseed Products, Grain Trade), Apetit reports Group Functions, consisting of the expenses related to Group management, strategic projects and listing on the stock exchange that are not allocated to the three business segments.
The information in this report is unaudited. The figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in 2020, and the comparison period means the corresponding period in the previous year, unless otherwise stated.
CEO Esa Mäki, July–September 2021:
"Apetit Group's net sales in the third quarter declined while profitability improved slightly year-on-year. In Oilseed Products, the exceptional and rapid increase in raw material prices has reduced the refining margin since the summer. In the Grain Trade segment, net sales declined substantially due to lower volumes caused by the poor harvest, with profitability being slightly lower than in the comparison period. In Food Solutions, profit performance has remained strong.
Retail demand in the Food Solutions segment was at a good level. The Food Service channel has also continued its recovery from the low level seen during the pandemic. The Baltic Sea fish stick, launched in Finnish schools and kindergartens on Baltic Sea Day, significantly increased the channel's sales as a single product. In addition, exports to Sweden, in particular, have continued to grow. Increased prices in logistics, energy and packaging materials are creating pressure for increases in sales prices.
Preparatory work, such as planning and orders of equipment and components for the pizza production line in Pudasjärvi, has progressed on schedule. The investment covers the modernisation of the entire production equipment in the existing building. At the same time, we are moving forward with product development to renew our range of products: our aim is to provide consumers in Finland with even more delicious frozen pizza made using domestic ingredients to the greatest possible extent. The redesigned range of pizzas will be launched next year.
Enhancing the efficiency of production is a key aspect of our operations and the improvement of profitability. In Säkylä, we have invested in the processing of raw materials by upgrading the equipment used to wash vegetables. The new brush scrubbers significantly reduce water consumption. The investment is also significant from the perspective of raw material efficiency: the improved washing means that more of the vegetables are left to be processed for production.
We are upgrading how peas are received at the start of the production line by investing in cleaning and processing equipment to increase capacity. Peas need to go from field to freezer within two hours, which naturally limits the cultivation area to the surroundings of the production facility, but the process is also directly dependent on the capacity of the production function to process peas quickly. Peas are Apetit's most significant export product, with Italy and Sweden being the key markets. The investment supports our potential to increase pea exports in the future.
The retail sales of our food products in Sweden have developed in line with our expectations. This autumn, we are launching on the Swedish market wok vegetables and a new vegetable mix. In addition to ICA, we have gained a foothold in other retail chains in Sweden this year. The value of food exports grew, amounting to EUR 4.4 (3.9) million in January–September in spite of pea exports being significantly lower than last year.
The indications are that the overall harvest of field vegetables will be moderate. The harvest of early vegetables, such as peas and spinach, suffered from the hot and dry summer.
In Oilseed Products, raw material prices have increased with exceptional speed – approximately 70 per cent in one year. The rate of price increases has been the highest since the summer. The profitability of Oilseed Products is decreased not only by the high raw material costs but also increasing freight costs. Raw material and freight costs are not expected to decrease in the near future, which weakens the outlook of the Oilseed Products segment for the remainder of the year.
The start-up of small-scale production of the rapeseed ingredient to test the equipment at a subcontractor's premises began in September. The start of small-scale production makes higher volumes possible and also allows our customers to test the ingredient in their products. In addition to making deliveries to customers, we will continue our own testing of end uses for the ingredient and the potential expansion of the product family. The ingredient will also be used in Apetit's vegetable balls to be launched for the professional kitchen segment at the beginning of 2022. At the same time, we are planning the start of production on the commercial scale.
According to our most recent harvest estimates, the rapeseed harvest will grow by just over a third. For autumn rapeseed, the area under cultivation increased compared to the previous harvest season, which can be considered good news: autumn oilseed plants yield higher harvests than spring oilseed plants and they are more resilient to pests. We are also pleased to have achieved our goal of increasing the number of contract growers and the area under contract cultivation.
For grains, the harvest in Finland will be weak and the harvest in the Baltic countries will also be substantially smaller than last year. There are even clear shortages of certain grains. Grain prices have increased sharply both in Finland and the global market, especially since the late summer.
The exceptional arrangements related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been discontinued in Apetit Group in accordance with the national recommendations. Throughout the pandemic, we have successfully achieved our goal of ensuring the health and safety of our employees and ensuring undisrupted operations throughout the food supply chain."

*) Group Functions, consisting of the expenses related to Group management, strategic projects and listing on the stock exchange, are reported as expenses that are not allocated to the business segments. The operating profit for 1–9/2021 includes EUR 0.2 million non-recurring gains from the sale of assets.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN JULY–SEPTEMBER, CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Comparable net sales decreased by 11 per cent to EUR 64.5 (72.1) million. In Food Solutions, net sales increased by 4 per cent: the sales of frozen foods grew especially in the retail and export segments. The Food Service channel has continued its recovery from the impacts of COVID-19 but is still below the pre-pandemic level. Compared to the corresponding period last year, net sales were reduced by a significant decline in the export deliveries of peas due to the poor harvest. In Oilseed Products, net sales grew substantially thanks to good demand and higher selling prices. In the Grain Trade business, net sales declined due to lower delivery volumes.
Operating profit amounted to EUR 2.6 (2.5) million. In Food Solutions, profit performance was improved by higher sales volumes across all sales channels. Significantly increased raw material costs reduced the refining margin in Oilseed Products and slightly reduced profitability. The profitability of the Grain Trade business was largely unchanged from the comparison period.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN JANUARY–SEPTEMBER
Comparable net sales decreased by 5 per cent to EUR 200.9 (211.0) million. Net sales increased slightly in Food Solutions: retail demand and exports – except in the case of peas – have remained strong throughout the year. Food exports represented 10 per cent of net sales. Sales in the Food Service channel have continued the recovery seen since the early summer but were still below the pre-pandemic level. In Oilseed Products, net sales grew substantially thanks to good demand and higher selling prices. In the Grain Trade business, net sales declined substantially year-on-year.
Operating profit amounted to EUR 2.3 (2.8) million. In Food Solutions, the improved profit performance was supported by the growth of net sales and enhanced operational efficiency. The profitability of Oilseed Products improved substantially thanks to the strong early part of the year. However, the significantly increased price of rapeseed raw material has reduced the refining margin in the second half of the year. The profit performance of the Grain Trade business early in the year was negatively affected by the difficult market conditions in the international wheat trade and the unsuccessful response to unpredictable market changes. The third quarter of the year was positive in the Grain Trade business.
The Group's liquidity was good and its financial position is strong. The equity ratio was 54.3 (55.5) per cent and gearing was 37.0 (35.0) per cent. The Group's cash flow from operating activities after interest and taxes was EUR -4.0 (11.7) million in January–September.
MATERIAL EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REVIEW PERIOD
On 22 October 2021, Apetit revised its estimate of operating profit for 2021. The company estimated that the operating profit from continuing operations will be below year 2020 level (EUR 3.9 million in 2020).
SEASONALITY OF OPERATIONS
In accordance with the IAS 2 standard, the historical cost of inventories includes a systematically allocated portion of the fixed production overheads. With production focusing on harvest time, raw materials are mainly processed into finished products during the second half of the year. This means that more fixed production overheads are recognised on the balance sheet in the second half of the year than during the first half of the year. Due to this accounting practice, most of the Group's annual profit is accrued during the second half of the year. The seasonal nature of profit accumulation is most marked in the Food Solutions segment and in the associated company Sucros, where production reflects the crop harvesting season.
Harvesting seasons also cause seasonal variation in the amount of working capital tied up in operations. Working capital tied up in Grain Trade and Oilseed Products is at its highest towards the end of the year and decreases to its lowest in the summer before the next harvest season. As production in the Food Solutions segment is also seasonal and follows the harvest period, the working capital tied up in operations is at its highest around the turn of the year in that segment.
Net sales in Grain Trade vary from one year and quarter to the next, even quite considerably, being dependent on the demand and supply situation and on the price level in Finland and other markets.
THE REVISED GUIDANCE FOR 2021 (published on 22 October 2021)
The full-year operating profit from continuing operations is expected to decrease from the previous year (EUR 3.9 million in 2020).

Extraterrestrial Secrets are in the Lakes of Titan, One of Saturn's Moons
Its cold banks may be embedded with strange minerals that are not found on Earth.
The cold shores of the lakes of the moon Titan of Saturn is one of the points in our solar system that most attracts the attention of scientists, but is still surrounded by mysteries. Now a new study indicates that they may be embedded in strange minerals that are not found on Earth, including a rare solid acetylene and butane co-crystal.
Acetylene and butane exist on Earth as gases and are commonly used for welding and fuel stoves. On Titan, with its extremely cold temperatures, acetylene and butane are solids and combine to form crystals.
The new mineral could be responsible for the 'rings bathtub' suspected there around the hydrocarbon lakes on Titan, according to Morgan Cable's Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA in the Institute of Technology California, who presented the new research at the Astrobiology Science Conference of 2019.
The lakes of Titan are full of liquid hydrocarbons. Previous research on images and data collected during the Cassini mission has shown that lakes in the dry regions of the moon near the equator contain signs of evaporated material, such as rings in a bathtub.
To create conditions similar to Titan's in the laboratory, the researchers started with a custom-made cryostat, a device to keep things cool. They filled it with liquid nitrogen to lower the temperature and then heated the chamber slightly, so that the nitrogen became gas, which is mainly what the atmosphere of Titan contains.
Then, they released what abounds in Titan, methane and ethane, as well as other molecules that contain carbon, and looked for what was formed. The first things that left their hydrocarbon soup on Titan were the benzene crystals.
Benzene is perhaps best known as a component of gasoline and is a snowflake-shaped molecule made from a hexagonal ring of carbon atoms. But Titan's benzene was a surprise: the molecules rearranged and allowed the ethane molecules to enter, creating a co-crystal.
Then, researchers discovered the acetylene-butane co-crystal, which is probably much more common on Titan than in benzene crystals, based on what is known about the composition of the moon, Cable said.
In the cold climate of the moon, the acetylene-butane co-crystals could form rings around the moon's lakes as the liquid hydrocarbons evaporate and the minerals disappear, in the same way that the salts can crust over the edges of the lakes and seas of the Earth, according to Cable.
To confirm if Titan has cockpit rings of co-crystals and other undiscovered hydrocarbon crystals, scientists will have to wait until a spacecraft can visit the coasts of this moon, Cable said. "We still do not know if we have these bathtub rings," he said, and concluded: "It's hard to see through the hazy atmosphere of Titan."

Huma Akram's death is one of the most searched terms on Greater Voice. Actually, this lovely wife of Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram died very young at an Indian hospital where she was admitted in emergency situations.
The cricketer was later linked to former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen and here in the videos below you can see the fine chemistry that existed between the Akram couple.
Hope Wasim remembers his commitment and fulfills it. We are aware that Imran Khan, another celebrated cricketer, had built a cancer hospital in Lahore after his mother's death in a similar bid to counter poor medical facilities in Pakistan.
In his 1998 autobiography, Wasim had written: "Huma has been a rock to me in so many ways." May her soul rest in peace.

Hi and welcome to Putaro Plastic Modeller! Now I'm working on the MG Gundam F91 2.0 for a special project, so I decided to share some reviews about this New MG. This model kit has tons of gimmick and advance articulation but it get really tricky to use pose it. So check it out and thank you for supporting me and Izutaro!
Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (機動戦士ガンダム F91 Kidō Senshi Gandamu Effu Kujūichi?) is a 1991 Japanese animated film. It was Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's attempt to launch a new Gundam saga, set thirty years after Char's Counterattack. He re-teamed with character designer Yoshikazu Yasuhiko and mecha designer Kunio Okawara for the occasion. The movie was first released in Japan on March 16, 1991.
Art box posing! what the F91 can do in the film, it can do. For me the articulation rating is 4.5/5. No joint problem JUST the system is a bit tricky to handle while you pose it.
The F91 Gundam F91 ("F91" standing for "Formula 91") is the titular mobile suit of Mobile Suit Gundam F91. It is piloted by Seabook Arno.
The toe can bend downwards.
The only issue is the 'BAZOOKA' is easily pop-out when it store at the back.

Trinity University requires all students, undergraduate and graduate, enrolled for nine or more semester hours or enrolled in a full-time graduate program to have current hospitalization and accident insurance.
If the waiver is not completed by the deadline you will be enrolled in the student health plan and the corresponding charge cannot be cancelled.
Students entering or returning from leave in January will be billed for spring and summer coverage. Waivers may be submitted online before the end of Add/Drop in January.
Please note that treatment at Health Services does not require insurance; services are available to all students regardless of insurance coverage. Health Insurance assures that students can access health care off campus, consult with a specialist and have coverage for emergency treatment and hospitalization.
Students are encouraged to carry their health insurance card at all times.
Details about the Student Health Insurance Plan with United Healthcare Student Resources are available on-line at Academic HealthPlans, Benefits. The 12 month premium for 2018-2019 is $1460 payable with tuition for fall. Questions about the University sponsored Student Health Insurance Plan may be directed to Academic HealthPlans, Contacts.

No refund of premium will be made when add/drop is over. Waivers must be submitted through Academic Health Plans, Waiver.
Students from outside the local area who are covered under managed care plans (e.g., HMOs, POS, and prescription drug plans) should clarify their coverage while in San Antonio. Many such plans restrict coverage to emergencies only when students are out of their home coverage area. Please consult your health plan representative about the nature and limits of coverage for physician fees, hospital costs, laboratory and radiology tests, and prescription plans in San Antonio. Students should be familiar with their coverage so that they can specify particular labs or pharmacies if necessary. The Health Services staff may help identify local resources that meet the requirements of individual managed care plans.


Whether you want a post-exercise refuel, a boost to your immunity or a healthy snack, you can discover it in the shape of these higher-protein Energy Bites. Practically all cookbook authors now have websites to market and expand their readership. I discovered out that it was written by a lady she was a vegetarian way ahead of her time. She took a vegetarian diet and created the heads of households feel that they were undertaking a very good service for their families by serving vegetables. The vegetarian diet program, even though normally perceived as willing selection of specific particular person, is typically motivated by well being motives, prevention or necessary need.
The Full Vegetarian Cookbook is a wide-ranging collection of boldly flavorful vegetarian recipes covering hearty vegetable mains, rice and grains, beans and soy as effectively as soups, appetizers, snacks, and salads. Tantalizing color photographs make this book a visual treat, as well as an invaluable guide to inspired vegetarian cooking. With colour photographs to show what you happen to be aiming at, advice on gear and stocking your cupboard (even in a tiny shared kitchen!), and important hints and suggestions – such as how not to poison your pals – you will not want to leave house with no The Hungry Student Vegetarian Cookbook. Growing numbers of individuals are cutting down on meat as they turn into more aware of environmental, overall health and animal welfare problems.
Creating tasty, healthy dishes that will satisfy veggies and non-veggies alike is simple when you know how…Let Mary be your guide to a new versatile strategy to vegetarian eating. Back when I began to cook (around 1993 when I moved into my first college housing with a kitchen), library & bookstore shelves had such a restricted choice, it was straightforward to navigate and narrow down which books to pick or advocate. My all-time favorite cookbook is Laurel's Kitchen (and the New Laurel's Kitchen).
On the holidays I cook for a gluten free of charge daughter and a vegetarian daughter, so I picked this book off of the new book shelf at the library. These recipes are all veggie, but several also offer you a part-time" option suggesting how to add meat or fish if fancied. Researchers felt if the peasants could eat vegetables – they did not have income for meat – and they were very healthy, it was a excellent thing. If you happen to be a vegetarian and appreciate a good barbecued meal – or if you just fancy a change from meat – this tiny cookbook includes 101 scrumptious meat-cost-free recipes for you to place on the grill and get pleasure from. Vegetarian Planet has much more recipes than you could ever attempt, and they are generally created up of straightforward to locate ingredients, but the recipes have a tendency to be a fusion of far more than 1 culture. A lot of vegetarian recipes can be produced vegan basically by omitting cheese or making use of vegan mayo, butter and/or cheese.
If there is a budding vegetarian in your life (or anybody who could stand to understand how to cook a few far more vegetables), ge Holy smokes, this is a actually extensive cookbook, possibly the most complete cookbook I've every single observed. I'm always shocked at the choice of vegetarian and vegan cookbooks in most libraries, even if a lot of them are those 1980's-style created ones, with tons of fake meat recipes that are almost certainly a lot worse for you than the even true point. And so we've attempted a bunch (well more than 50, I bet) in our quick 3 and a half years of getting vegetarian. Although sourcing some of the spice ingredients may possibly be a challenge, that can be overcome by buying on the internet.
