Pat Buchanan's Fanatical Bigotry Tour
Paleoconservative (and Paleolithic) blowhard Pat Buchanan is currently on the road promoting his new book, Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?
I am not going to pretend to have read Pat's book. Luckily, there are others out there willing to take one for the team.
Talking Points Memo recently compiled Twelve Pretty Racist Or Just Crazy Quotes From Pat Buchanan's New Book, which includes the following gems:
If [conservative political commentator Heather] Mac Donald's statistics are accurate, 49 of every 50 muggings and murders in New York are the work of minorities. That might explain why black folks have trouble getting a cab. Every New York cabby must know the odds, should he pick up a man of color at night.
Perhaps some of us misremember the past. But the racial, religious, cultural, social, political, and economic divides today seem greater than they seemed even in the segregation cities some of us grew up in.
Back then, black and white lived apart, went to different schools and churches, played on different playgrounds, and went to different restaurants, bars, theaters, and soda fountains. But we shared a country and a culture. We were one nation. We were Americans.
The white population will begin to shrink and, should present birth rates persist, slowly disappear. Hispanics already comprise 42 percent of New Mexico's population, 37 percent of California's, 38 percent of Texas's, and over half the population of Arizona under the age of twenty. ……. Mexico is moving north. Ethnically, linguistically, and culturally, the verdict of 1848 is being overturned. Will this Mexican nation within a nation advance the goals of the Constitution—to "insure domestic tranquility" and "make us a more perfect union"? Or has our passivity in the face of this invasion imperiled our union?
There's more where that came from.
And here's Pat on LGBT equality:
A nation dedicated to the proposition that all are equal and entitled to equal rewards must end up constantly discriminating against its talented tenth, for that is the only way a free society can guarantee social and economic equality. And consider the costs incurred, the injustices done, the freedoms curtailed--all in the name of equality.
Can anyone believe this absurd notion of equality was intended by or written into the constitution by the Congress that produced the 14th Amendment? Although gay marriage has been rejected in 31 states in referenda, judges continue to declare that such unions be treated as marriages. An idea of equality rejected democratically by voters is being imposed dictatorially.
In December 2010, a repudiated liberal Congress imposed its San Francisco values on the armed forces by ordering homosexuals admitted to all branches of the service. Indoctrination of recruits, soldiers, and officers into an acceptance of the gay life style will transfer authority over the military, the most respected institution in America, to agents of a deeply resented and widely detested managerial state.
Media Matters has compiled highlights from Patty's talk show appearances surrounding his book tour, where he has been "defending his past anti-LGBT bigotry, knowingly appearing on a pro-white radio show, and refusing to disavow genetic theories of racial superiority and inferiority."

CCAP Blantyre Synod to pray for court outcome
by Nation Online
The Blantyre Synod of the Church of Central Africa Presbytery (CCAP) has organised a week of peace building prayers in its congregations ahead of the elections case verdict by the Constitutional Court in Lilongwe.
In a circular to all the synod's congregations, the church observed that the ruling of the presidential elections' results nullification petition has the potential to worsen the situation if not accepted by either of the contesting parties.
Co-signed the letter: Gama
The prayers, which will include fasting, have been scheduled for December 23 and will end with prayers for peace, love and unity for Malawi on December 29 2019.
"As you are all aware, currently our country is facing numerous social and political challenges that are seriously affecting the national unity, development and economic progress," reads the circular in part dated November 27 2019 and co-signed by synod moderator the Reverend Masauko Mbolembole and general secretary the Reverend Billy Gama.
According to the communication, the church leadership believes it is only God who can heal the nation through prayers and fasting.
"We are, therefore, calling upon all members of the synod in all congregations through their presbyteries to jointly observe… [the prayers and fasting]," reads the communication.
In an interview last evening, Mbolembole said the church decided to hold the prayers because of the manner in which Malawians have lived the past months "which has not been up to the level anyone would desire".
He said: "The love for one another and the concept of advocating for peace have all not been there. We can say the atmosphere is full of fumes that have confused people."
Public Affairs Committee (PAC), an inter-faith organisation, is also planning prayers and declaration of peace later this month.

All Black Julian Savea Could Be On His Way To The PRO14
by Jason Hennessy · April 8, 2019
Wanted man.
All Blacks winger Julian Savea's nightmare at Toulon could be about to come to an end, with South African PRO14 franchise the Kings interested in offering him a way out.
The Kings and Toulon recently entered a partnership agreement which will see a close working relationship between them, with a deal for Savea to switch already discussed.
Savea is in the first season of a two-year deal at Toulon and is reported to be earning £850,000 per season – which could prove to be a stumbling block for the Kings. But reports in South Africa suggest negotiations have already started with the winger.
The Kings are even willing to release as many as 20 players in order to free up some budget. Watch this space. The bus could very well be inbound.


Carl Weeks was born the sixth in a family of eight children. His family lived in western Kansas during Carl's early years, then moved to Des Moines in 1888 when he was 12. Carl got a job helping in a drug store, and studied at the now defunct Highland Park College on the north side of Des Moines. Carl was an excellent student, and graduated from Highland Park at the ripe old age of 16 in 1893.
For a short time after graduating Carl worked for the Chamberlain Medical Company, a company owned by his uncles, and based in Des Moines. Carl then moved on to the Green and Bentley Drug Company in Oskaloosa, he stayed for seven years and learned every part of the pharmaceutical business. At 24, Carl attempted to open his own business in Centerville Iowa, but due to health reasons ultimately failed. Carl was forced to come back to Des Moines and work for the D. Weeks company that his brothers had started making cosmetics.
During this time period Carl met Edith Van Slyke, an art student, and they became a couple. In 1907 Edith traveled to Paris to study and Carl went to visit her. While there he examined the Paris face powders of the day, considered to be the best in the world, and had an idea to improve them. The powders being used would melt as the day got hotter and had to be constantly reapplied. Carl had the idea to add cold cream into the face powder to keep it from melting. The creation worked perfectly, and Carl established the Florian company to manufacture and distribute it on his way to untold riches. It however, did not catch on and was discontinued by 1910 and Carl had to go back to work with his brothers. In the next few years one of Carls brothers (Dyet) died and Carl moved into his ownership spot, eventually renaming the company the D.C. Leo Company. The surviving brother (Leo) encouraged Carl to try his cold cream concoction again, and eventually Carl did. This time however there was a different outcome, it was a BIG success. The brothers founded the Armand company to manufacture and distribute the cold cream and other products that had been added to the mix. The products popularity expanded rapidly around the world, eventually having offices in St. Thomas Ontario Canada, Queensland Austrailia, Mexico City Mexico, Middlesex England, Buenos Aires Argentina, and Sydney Australia. In my opinion there were three things that really helped this product become so successful.
Carl knew how the individual pharmaceutical shops worked from working in several shops, including Oskaloosa for 7 years.
The French style name and packaging signified regality and style during that time.
Despite trying and failing several times Carl kept at it and now had all the riches he could have ever dreamed of. The turned his attention to building a house. Not just any house would do, Carl decided to build a house similar to the Kings house in Salisbury England. In looking at the two side by side I think he did a pretty good job. Carl spent 1.5 million to build the Salisbury House in Des Moines and another 1.5 million dollars to furnish it. There are 22500 square feet over four floors, and 42 rooms including 17 bedrooms, and 16 bathrooms. Carl imported 16th century oak paneling, and filled the house with rare books, tapestries, and antiques from around the world. The roof was covered with 17th century tiles from Lord Nelson's Trafalgar estate. Carl and Edith Weeks vision for the Salisbury house was to make it appear that it had been built hundreds of years ago the day it was finished, and I think they achieved that beautifully.
The Salisbury House is toured by thousands every years, but I believe it is still one of our most underrated tourist attractions. It is only a few dollars to tour, and takes you away to another era. I have toured and wandered the property several times and always find it enjoyable. If you would like to learn more about the house and fortune built on foundation, click here.

Years in rank requirements may be waived on a case by case basis.
Instructors do not receive teaching titles by virtue of rank. Teaching titles are tested independently based on teaching status, knowledge and skills.
Soke (Head Master) Similar to Judan. Normally there is only one Judan per system or style but there are exceptions. If there are three Judan in a Ryu then one is called the Supreme Head Master. Soke is also called Grandmaster. Soke in Japanese means "Source-House".
Meijin and O-Sensei Meijin in Japanese means "Name-Person" and O-Sensei means "Great Teacher". These two titles are not very common and translated into English mean "Master of Masters".
Kaiso or Shiso (Founder) The founder of the Ryu (Style). His or her rank is beyond Judan (10 Degree) and usually wears a white belt that is double in size. Kaiso in Japanese means "To Open-Group".
Meikyo Kaidan Basically, this is a head master way of saying "I have taught you everything that I know". Meikyo Kaidan is very rare.
Sho Dan (First Degree) All basic techniques have become conditioned reflexes. Kata have been repeated so often that he or she can go through them while carrying on a conversation. 1000 hours of training is a rule of thumb for the first dan. +40% for physical condition and mental attitude and up to +60% for previous training.
Ni Dan (Second Degree) A Ni Dan is a Sho Dan who no longer needs to impress people with the fact that he or she is a black belt.
San Dan (Third Degree) The San Dan has had several years experience as a black belt and is at his or her peek in fighting. He or she is usually involved in some form of instructor training program at this time. This is usually the minimum rank at which the "Okuden" (Advanced Teachings) are revealed.
Yon Dan (Forth Degree) Yon Dan is generally the minimum rank for an instructor.
Go Dan (Fifth Degree) Go Dan is the average rank of an instructor.
Roku Dan (Sixth Degree) Roku Dan are senior instructors. By this time he or she is in his 40's and has mastered all of the techniques of the Ryu (Style). He or she is not as fast as the Sandan, but much more dangerous. A Roku Dan is normally the head of the instruction department of a large dojo. This is the last rank where promotion is based on technical ability.
Ku Dan (Ninth Degree) These ranks are Master Level. Dignity is the single most important characteristic of a Shichi Dan, Hachi Dan, and Ku Dan. White hair is the rule. A young Master is a contradition in terms. A Go Dan and Roku Dan can impress you with a technique, but a Shichi Dan to Ku Dan can impress you with a look.
Ju Dan (Tenth Degree) Normally, there is only one Ju Dan per system or style but there are many exceptions. A Ju Dan should be an inspiration to the Ryu (Style). An age between 60 to 80 is about right. He can sit in Seiza (Kneeling position) and lecture forever. In non-family Ryu there will be no further Ju Dan promotions after the death of the founder.

Italians Ready To Repesent At The Rugby Weekend
Oct 25, 2018 342
BY: Alex Goff
Italy comes into Chicago hoping to get the city's huge Italian-American community behind it, but there are other points to prove, too. FloRugby checked in with Ian McKinley and Luca Morisi, who will be part of the Azzurri arriving in Chicago. Both have had their struggles. McKinley retired after a rugby clear went into his eyeball (yes, it is as gruesome as it sounds). But after doing some coaching in Italy, he got the fire again, and, thanks to some new goggles approved by World Rugby, he's on the pitch again.
The goggles, said McKinley, do a good job of protecting his eyes and are kept on in part by his scrumcap. He has had the goggles ripped off only twice - the first time he wore them, and a couple of weeks ago, which, he said, was a bit of a freak accident.

Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts
Posted: Wednesday April 11, 2018
The Oxford dictionary says that art is "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." Wikipedia expands that definition to include technical skills, as in, "Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts, expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power."
Houston's High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) expands on that definition even further, proudly identifying themselves as a place "Where Learning Is an Art." But that's not all that's expanding for HSPVA. The school is on track to open the doors to a brand new, five-story facility that's located smack in the middle of downtown Houston in January 2019.
Part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD), HSPVA is one of 40 schools designated to be rebuilt or renovated as part of the HISD's 2012 Bond Program. Houston-based McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. was brought on by the school district to serve as Construction Manager for the project. McCarthy subcontracted JR Clancy to provide an 1800+ square foot SkyDeck™ in the new facility's black box theater. And JR Clancy, in turn, subcontracted InterAmerica Stage, Inc. (IA Stage) to manufacture and install the SkyDeck™.
IA Stage's Jay C. Hurt, one of several ETCP Certified riggers on the project, was tasked with getting several oversized SkyDeck™ panels into the black box space via second story window. Hurt is known for his expertise in specialized material handling. He says that in order to maintain the highest safety standards on a busy job site – especially one sandwiched inside a busy city's arts district – knowledge and the ability to communicate that knowledge is key. Hurt has held his ETCP certification for over 10 years. "I was in one of the first groups to get the certification," he says.
Due to the construction site's close quarters, Hurt wasn't able to get his forklift closer than 30' from the building. "We had to [lift the SkyDeck™ panels through the window] over the weekend," he explained, "because part of my forklift was sticking out in the road." JR Clancy's Project Manager, Ryan Cole, also an ETCP Certified rigger, added, "The city wants to maintain traffic flow through the area. We set aside time on an early Saturday morning to off-load the panels and avoid major traffic." The appropriate lanes were closed and traffic flagged around the construction. The operation required a boom attachment on the forks with a crewmember on the ground attaching panels to the boom one at a time and handling the tagline, while two crewmembers on the second story received the panels as they came through the window at an angle. "All my guys were in retractable harnesses," Hurt stated emphatically.
HSPVA was founded in 1971 and has been located in Houston's Montrose area since 1981. It is Houston's first magnet school. Groundbreaking for the $88 million facility took place on December 14, 2014.

This is one of my most favorite quick, healthy meals to put together and it only takes minutes! I've made this numerous times, and it's just a skinnier version of the Bonefish Grill version. It's a pretty popular recipe, but I just want to share for everyone! The serving size is about 4oz of shrimp. I usually just measure mine out with a food scale.
All you have to do is mix up all the ingredients in a bowl, cook your shrimp and add to the sauce! If you just want to make one pound of shrimp, cut the recipe in half! I usually mix mine up with some organic brown rice, or you could even serve it over pasta.

The German Revolution: Selected Writings of Rosa Luxemburg
Submitted by martin on 5 March, 2019 - 12:21 Author: Rosa Luxemburg, Paul Vernadsky
A new pamphlet from Workers' Liberty, "The German Revolution: Selected Writings of Rosa Luxemburg", has Rosa Luxemburg's major articles from 1918-19.

They span the time from when the German revolution of 1918-9 broke out, and she was released from jail on 8 November 1918, through to her murder on 15 January 1919 by a right-wing militia operating under the protection of the Social Democratic government.
An introduction is provided by Paul Vernadsky, author of the Workers' Liberty book "The Russian Revolution: When Workers Took Power". It tells the story of the German revolution and discusses the findings of recent scholarship on the events.
Some of the Luxemburg articles are in new translations by Stan Crooke.
The German revolution grew out of the combined impact of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia in October-November 1917, the rise of workplace organisation in German industry during World War One, and rising disillusion and disgust at the World War.
Germany was facing defeat. At the start of November, sailors in Wilhelmhaven and Kiel mutinied against their commanders' order to send them out to sea in a last-minute suicidal foray.
Between 1 and 15 November, workers' and soldiers' councils took charge of many German cities. In the great industrial centres the uprising followed a common pattern: first, workers' mass strikes and demonstrations, then soldiers joining the revolt, and finally a joint workers' and soldiers' council taking control.
On 9 November Germany was proclaimed a republic and the Social-Democrat leader Friedrich Ebert was made chancellor in the old legal forms. On 10 November, a "Council of People's Delegates" was formed, borrowing its name from the workers' government in Russia, with Ebert leading that Council too.
It was a coalition of the SPD - the old socialist mass party of the German working class, which had betrayed its politics at the start of World War One by backing the German ruling class's war, but still retained some support - and the USPD, the party formed in 1917 by a large chunk of the SPD's left wing, expelled from the SPD for (weak) opposition to the war.
Rosa Luxemburg had been the foremost leader of the radical left in the SPD and then in the USPD. But the radical left was organised only as an informal network.
Luxemburg's articles document her struggle to rally the radical left into a coherent political force. The SPD was trying to damp down and eventually to dissolve the workers' councils, and to have the old capitalist administration survived in reformed shape. The USPD was critical but unclear and irresolute.
Millions of workers were newly awaking to politics, and many of them inclined to back the SPD as representing what they had thought of, before they became politically activated, as the big, effective left-wing and working-class political force. Others backed the USPD. In the countryside, millions of farmers and workers in small enterprise remained under conservative hegemony.
Rosa Luxemburg, in her articles, attempted to chart a strategy and tactics which would enable the revolutionary left to establish a clear profile as against the SPD and the USPD, to win over support from them, and to help the workers' councils take state power as they had in Russia.
This was one of the most dramatic periods of working-class revolutionary struggle so far in any highly-developed capitalist country, analysed and responded to by one of the greatest revolutionary Marxist writers of all time.

Driving Route 66, our destination was Shawnee, Kansas, home of Gillis, Gordon and Stewart Lauber. Sorry G & G, Mom only has pics of the new boy.
Meet Stewart. He is pretty cute and pretty nosy.
But he loved playing chase with me. Sister? Well, you know she has a no tolerance policy.
Stewart lives with his staff, Mary and Larry, outside of Kansas City.
Later in the evening, the hoomans went to enjoy BBQ at Jack Stack's BBQ on the Plaza. Mom said they had something called burnt ends that were very yummy and the cheesy corn was also delish. This is all hearsay since we saw no evidence of take home containers and cannot verify the yumminess. The plaza was still in its Christmas splendor.
After looking at all the lights, they toured some of KC's places of notable interest. Many buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mom and Dad want to come back and visit the WWI Museum for sure. The next morning we headed back home.
There's Will Rogers welcoming us back home.

Year 10 Careers and Higher Education Fair
Year 10 had a busy afternoon on Thursday 27th January at the 2017 Forest School Higher Education and Careers Fair. The students had the opportunity to speak to representatives from universities and industry at this exhibition fair-style event.
There were over 100 representatives from industry and higher education, including some of the best universities in the world such as Oxford and Cambridge, and high-profile employers, including Accenture, London Stock Exchange Group and Wiseman Lee. All the exhibitors were well-versed in speaking to pupils and were happy to be quizzed on career paths and degree subjects by our very confident and enthusiastic Year 10 girls.


Stefan Glienke worded it perfectly: Default(typeIdentifier) is a "magic" function that is implemented into the compiler and causes it to generate the correct code – like for records with managed fields it generates a call to FinalizeRecord and some instructions to zero the remaining fields.

Steph and I hit it off, having quite a few things in common. To start we were both elementary school special education teachers, both deciding where to take our graduate courses, both newlyweds, the list went on. I was super excited when Sam and Steph began their house hunt and ended their hunt with a house across the street from my own. Now we had our address in common. And not to long ago, after I had begun my stay at home mom journey, Steph and I even shared the same principal! Things about us keep coming into commonalities.
I cannot wait until we have this next thing in common. Parenthood.
Sam and Steph have been documenting their journey to parenthood here. They have been journaling their way through the adoption process. Recently they had a dinner fundraiser in which I donated a family session to be raffled away in hopes of helping them raise funds towards making their parenthood dream come true. But I had also mentioned to them that if they needed any pictures for the potential birth mother or something for their adoption portfolio I'd be more than happy to take some for them.
They told me they had an idea. Actually I remember Sam said, "Steph will talk to you about that, she's got a plan for some pictures. She'll explain it." So I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Steph told me she would like to have an adoption "maternity" session. Of course I was game, but had no clue what that meant.
Steph linked me to her pinterest board of images she had pinned from other adoption sessions. I was blown away. These images she collected were beautiful. My pinterest is filled with photography sessions, but I somehow had still managed to never see any of these ideas. I was so excited to help the two of them have the same type of session as these images she had pinned. I hope I did them justice.
Here's to our next commonality Steph! Parenthood!

members and starts rolling pickets every weekend outside a different Domino's store, with ASF Brisbane following suit.
Below is a list of six key points that must be included in any further negotiations with Dominos. The drivers will not support any agreement without these inclusions.
over this would currently be basic rate of $15.96 per hour + casual loading of 23 % = $3.67 giving a minimum wage of $19.63 per hour.
employees engaged on a casual basis shall have the casual loading prescribed by FWA in the minimum wage safety net included in the minimum wage payable to any casual employee.
3 Payment of wages at the normal rate of pay (which will include casual loading to casual employees) shall be paid to all employees required to complete any training or attend any meeting whether that training or meeting is held in-store, via the Dominos training website DOTTI or by any other means. Payment of wages will be made for the period of time taken by the employee to complete the training specified by Dominos.
4 All tips received by drivers shall remain the sole property of the driver to whom they are given. At no time and under no circumstance will Dominos ever be entitled to any tip money received by any driver.
5 All hours worked by any employee regardless of what employment status the employee may hold will be paid for by the employer Dominos at the appropriate rate of pay. This will include all hours worked before, during and after any trading hours of any store.
work performed on public holidays.
The list is seen by drivers as realistic and only requests that the most basic of wage entitlements be payable.
The workers are organising to achieve these goals via the General Transport Workers Association.

Spacious wagon from Mercedes
Mercedes has tried hard to distance the R300 from the general look of a people-mover. Contributed
by Vani Naidoo
AS children we were always told never to judge a book by its cover, that beauty is only skin deep and it is what's inside that counts.
As an adult, with the wisdom of experience and a big dose of reality you find out that like all childhood ideals it is simply just that, and books are most definitely judged by their covers.
In that vein it is always interesting to note the reactions and behaviour of people when we are testing a luxury vehicle, one that would cost the average Australian three years' salary and a lifetime of dreaming.
Some designer badges incite aggression causing you to be cut off at every occasion, people constantly on your tail or motors revving beside you at traffic lights. Others bring out an aloof indifference with people wanting to look but not wanting you to catch them looking.
A Mercedes, almost always, finds that grudging admiration. Suddenly it is easier to merge on that busy road, easier to get that room upgrade at a posh city hotel and as we found, so much easier to get the bank manager to sign on the dotted line.
And when you drive one, even if it is for just a week, it is so much easier to believe in childhood ideals.
The R300 is the most spacious car Mercedes has built to date so riding around in comfort is certainly a given. Head and legroom in the seven-seater is impressive with the most usable third row we have seen for some time.
There are lots of nooks and crannies as well as under-seat storage to deal with family needs. The boot is considerable with the third row folded down but a lot less so when there are more occupants in the car.
The transmission controls are steering-column mounted and while that adds more space to the centre console, it is possible to mistake it for the indicator and knock the car into neutral.
The 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel is mated to the Benz's 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission. The 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive distributes torque to the front and rear axles at a ratio of 50:50 and helps improve tyre grip and traction. The R300 can be driven in Comfort mode, which makes light work of irregular surfaces or Sports mode for those days when you desire a bit more performance. With a kerb weight of 2.2 tonnes the engine has a lot to do to move you around efficiently.
You certainly feel the sense of solidness in the drive and it handles pretty well in most situations. There is some body roll but not enough to be an irritant and the R300 delivers a smooth, sure-footed driving experience. Turbo lag is experienced in the low-rev range especially during initial acceleration and it has to be urged quite forcibly up steep inclines.
As with all Benzs the standard inclusions often read like a wish list. Heated wing mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, parking sensors, reverse cameras, auto headlights and rain-sensing wipers are the usual fare. As is a voice activated audio system, heated four-way lumbar support seats and cruise control with variable speed limiter. The R300 is also well equipped with state-of-the-art safety systems. In addition to the dual front and curtain airbags, stability control, traction control, ABS and brake control, there are blind-spot indicators on your wing mirrors and adaptive brake lights that flash rapidly during emergency braking. The Mercedes also boasts Distronic proximity control, which helps maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Other contenders
Although the R300 seems more like a people-mover, Mercedes is quite determined to position it as a luxury SUV. That pits it against the Audi Q7 ($127,814), BMW X5 ($134,400), Land Rover Discovery 4 ($81,990) and stablemate M-Class ($91,750).
The R300 is a true family car and has the space to prove it. Driver elevation is good and while rear visibility could be better, it is helped by the reverse camera and parking sensors.
The third row is a bit tricky to get into because the second row doesn't drop enough but once ensconced it is very comfortable. Both back rows fold flat and in numerous combinations and with a lower boot lip, loading and unloading of bulky items is much more manageable.
The R300 can also be raised by up to 50mm, which aids ground clearance even with a full boot.
While fuel consumption on highway journeys was frugal we found driving around town particularly hard on the gauge especially for a diesel. Mercedes claims a combined average of 9.3 litres/100km. We found it closer to 11 litres/100km but even that is more than acceptable for a vehicle of this weight. Expect to part with $400 for a minor service and closer to $1000 for a major one.
Funky factor
Mercedes has tried hard to distance the R300 from the general look of a people-mover. The bonnet, front and rear bumper has been revised and there have also been major changes to the grille and headlights. The inside has remained pretty much the same but still projects that Benz quality.
The R300 is stylish, spacious and delivers a good driving performance. It is versatile, too, a must for family vehicles. It has often been an overlooked model with families tending to opt more for the robust M-Class but is definitely worth more than a passing glance.
Model: Mercedes-Benz R300 CDI.
Details: Five-door all-wheel drive large sports utility vehicle.
Transmission: Seven-speed G-Tronic.
Engine: 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel generating maximum power of 140kW @ 4000rpm and peak torque of 440Nm between 1400-2800rpm.
Consumption: 9.3 litres/100km combined average.
Performance: 0-100km in 9.8 seconds.
Bottom line: $92,200.

Sweet as a honey bee but like a honey bee stings,
you've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left is our favorite song, the one we danced to all night long.
It used to bring sweet memories of a tender love that used to be,
now it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning
since-a you been gone.
Now it's the same, same old song,
but with a diff'rent meaning since-a you been gone.
Fool am I to hear a old love song.
And wanna cry but the melody keeps haunting me
reminding me how in love we used to be.
Keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart saying together forever.
Breaking up never, it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning
Precious memories keep-a lingering on,
ev'rytime I hear our favorite song, now you're gone, left this emptiness,
I only reminisce.
The happiness we spent, we used to dance to the music
make romance to the music,
Oh I can't bear to hear it,
it's the same old song but with a diff'rent meaning since you been gone;
1 You Keep Me Hangin' On
2 You're Gone (But Always in My Heart)
3 Love Is Here and Now You're Gone
4 Mother You, Smother You
5 I Guess I'll Always Love You
6 I'll Turn to Stone
7 It's the Same Old Song
8 Going Down for the Third Time
9 Love Is in Our Hearts
10 Remove This Doubt
11 There's No Stopping Us Now
12 (Love Is Like a) Heat Wave

In one of the better stories of the late 1970s, the Doctor, Romana and K-9 stumble into the middle of a fierce interplanetary nuclear war. The Atrios war effort is faltering, its population demoralized, because unknown to them, the Zeon war machine lives up to its name in the most literal way. Zeos is controlled by a computer, and there are no Zeons, just remote controlled attack ships. Somewhere in the darkness between the two planets lurks a third party, pulling the strings of both sides in the war. The hand of the Black Guardian becomes visible in moving the pieces in this game, and the Doctor is horrified to discover that he will have to take a life to complete the Key to Time.

LogBook entry & review by Earl Green
Review: For most of this six-parter, the usual slightly tongue-in-cheek humor typical of the Graham Williams/Douglas Adams era is subdued in favor of dark atmosphere and real drama. Even K-9, usually the Doctor's trap door to avoid any plot complications, isn't invulnerable to the danger, and in some cases, K-9's fate is truly in question and cause for concern (as opposed to the usual treatment of him as an invulnerable machine). The opening scene, which pulls out from a close-up on an eye-rollingly soapy war propaganda film, revealing it to be playing on a screen in a crumbling medical ward, is a brilliant set-up for the entire show. Even the potentially silly character of Drax in part five has an edge of his own, with the possibility that he may be under the control of the Shadow, though the silliness factor intrudes on The Armageddon Factor when Drax breaks out his dimensional stabilizer gun for a round of "Honey, I Shrunk The Time Lords!" Other than that brief comical interlude, however, The Armageddon Factor is easily the highlight of the Key to Time cycle.
Look closely at the Marshal's ship when he takes off from Atrios. The "cockpit" at the nose of the ship was originally part of the System ships that recaptured the Liberator in the second season premiere of Blake's 7, which also aired in January, 1979.

With more than 3,500 objects and more than 5,000 square feet of open storage area, the Ceramics Research Center (CRC) is an important resource for artists, students and art enthusiasts to explore and enhance their understanding of the craft.
The ASU Art Museum was one of a few fine art museums to consciously undertake the building of a contemporary studio ceramics collection at a time when craft-based media was relegated as a decorative or minor art form. From its inception, the collection was displayed in open storage. This concept allows year-round access to a majority of our permanent collection, providing students, scholars and the general public an opportunity to view important works.
Every year, the CRC features three to five exhibitions on important movements and artists who have made significant contributions in the ceramics field. The holdings demonstrate the full range of technique, aesthetic approaches and possibilities within the medium. Major artists represented in the collection include Rudy Autio, Hans Coper, Ruth Duckworth, Shoji Hamada, Karen Karnes, Bernard Leach, Maria Martinez, Otto and Gertrud Natzler, Lucie Rie, Edwin and Mary Scheier, Angus Suttie, Akio Takamori, Peter Voulkos, Kurt Weiser and Betty Woodman, to name a few.
Parking: Metered street parking is available adjacent to the Brickyard as is paid underground parking (enter on 6th or 7th Street). Park on level B1 and take the elevator to PL (plaza). The ASU Art Museum Ceramics Research Center and Brickyard Gallery is in the east end of building, near the courtyard fountains.

So this morning I awoke to the sounds of my daughter singing in her crib. She likes to do that. We aren't sure what the music is yet, but it sounds beautiful!
To paraphrase Bill Cosby, those of you with children, especially daughters, will understand. I don't recall my son doing this as much, but my daughter sings her little "la-la" songs everyday. She is not quite talking yet, so it sort of sounds like babbling, and I often wonder if she has some sort of words or images in her mind that she is conjuring up while she sings.
My son is 7 and would much rather go around singing the Star Wars theme (those of you that know me personally are saying "well, Duh!") than any other music. He informed his mother and me a while back that since he is a Padawan in training, he can "sense" what is going to happen in the future. He hasn't figured out yet that so can his mother and me..heh.heh.
I got this website up and running today. It is still a work in progress, and I will be adding sound files and other pictures as time goes on, but for a first effort, and a couple of days work, I am relatively pleased with it to begin with.

Mini has revealed a trio of retro-styled scooter concepts at the Paris motor show.
Dubbed the Mini Scooter E Concept, the all-electric concepts initially comes in three liveries: Mini E, British Racing Green and a look inspired by the Mod era.
A lithium-ion battery powers an electric motor mounted in the rear wheel.
No range or performance figures have been quoted by Mini for the zero-emissions concepts, but the scooter can be recharged at a power socket using an on-board retractable charging cable stored in the rear fairing.
Mini claims the design of its scooters is carried over from its car range and the concepts and their looks can help widen the appeal of Mini and bring the brand to a younger audience.
Mini design features carried over include the central speedometer and the front light designs.
To operate the concepts, the rider locks in their smartphone to the central speedo and this acts as a vehicle key, display and central control element.
The smartphone can be operated on the move to act as a sat-nav, music player or as a phone itself and can be connected via Bluetooth to the rider's helmet.
Mini claims this creates a network between rider, scooter and smartphone that "paves the way for numerous new interactive functions".
Chas Hallett blog: What's going on in Mini's design studio?
I just love this Tarzan approach: iPhone cool - bike cool! :p They are of course aware that it will be impossible to see anything on that screen if its anywhere near sunny outside..
"...Mini claims this creates a network between rider, scooter and smartphone that "paves the way for numerous new interactive functions"..."
Read "paves the way for numerous accidents"
This was an interesing concept up until this point - giving riders the option to to be fiddling with their "interactive functions" is a recipie for disaster, unless safeguards are put in place to stop them. i.e. lock out changes whilst moving or something. But as the article says it can be operated on the move, somebody in Mini towers really hasn't got a grasp on the realities of life on the road.
A good idea trashed by some dumb (non) thinking.
And this is progress ? I'll stick to my bicycle thank you .
I thought it was illegal to listen to music through headphones whilst driving / riding?
It would be easier to see the the sunnier it was if the screen was ink based like e-readers. So that is not an issue if they choose to do that.
Ugly, real ugly. Hopefully, the production version will be easier on the eye.
It should have broad appeal tho, I'd use one if it means cutting out the petrol station.
Brilliant strategy by BMW, love the scooter, was waiting for the two wheeled version ever since I laid my eyes on Sir Alec's original.
How about a razor blade next. In British racing green with design carried over from the car range. My mach3 aint round or cute enough!!!

• Pray for those exhibiting a semblance of religion to gain true faith in Christ.
• Pray for great missionary fervor in ministering to the throngs of tourists who visit the island.
• Pray for the Church to model Christ-like morality and compassion to the massive group of single mothers.
With breathtaking Caribbean beaches, lush rainforests, and majestic mountains, Saint Lucia's magnificent landscape is an idyllic destination. Roughly halfway into the Eastern Caribbean chain, the island draws much of its economic stability from tourism. Saint Lucia's culture stems from its African, French, and British influences, making it deeply rich and diverse.
Contested for many years, this island nation was passed between England and France fourteen times until it declared its independence in 1979. Because of this, Saint Lucia has maintained elements of both cultures. Although ruled by Britain for 165 years, the people's dialect and Catholicism reach back to the French. Most islanders are descendents of slaves, adding an African thread to this beautiful cultural tapestry. Once dependent on sugar plantations, the island now produces a large banana crop and enjoys a very stable economy.
Just like its culture, the island has a diverse religious background. Today 95% of the island claim Christianity, and 55% of those are Catholic. But, for many this is a cultural identity more than a true and living faith. Some African religious traditions also influence the island's spirituality, with many embracing aspects of a folk religion called obeah. Many, even within the Christian faith, will practice certain rituals to protect themselves from the spirit world. Some believe obeah can heal the sick and also bring revenge on their enemies. With church attendance on the decline, 86% of children born out of wedlock, and many families broken and divided, the people of Saint Lucia are in desperate need of revival. With the Bible recently translated into Creole, true Biblical teaching and Gospel understanding is now increasingly possible. A solid Biblical foundation would give the Church the roots it needs, protecting it from moral decline and freeing it from fear of the spirit world.
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. - John 14:14

Q: Simple file writing, but its not working I have looked through some examples of how to write to a file in Java, and i thought i was doing it right.... apparently not. what is wrong here, it isn't even creating a file to write to. no error, just not writing to the file.
File inputFile = new File("pa2Data.txt");
File outputFile = new File("pa2output.txt");
Scanner fileIn = new Scanner(inputFile);
BufferedWriter fout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));

while(fileIn.hasNext()){
    String theLine = readFile(fileIn);
    fout.write("Infix expression: " + theLine + '\n');
    postfixExpression = infixToPostFix(theLine);
    String op = postfixExpression.toString();
    fout.write("Postfix Expression: " + op + '\n');

    theLine = readFile(fileIn);
    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(theLine);
    for(int i = 0; i < theValues.length; i++)
        theValues[i]  = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
        int answer = postfixEval(postfixExpression, theValues);
        fout.write("Answer: " + answer + '\n' + '\n');
    }
    fileIn.close();
    fout.close();

}//end main

A: Java won't write to file when you use write, it will store all the data you want to write at the buffer untill you will flush or close it.
In your case, a flush will be advised, because you writting to the file and reading it for changes, that results in reading data before you wrote the new data in.
You will need to use flush before reading the file.
That means before theLine = readFile(fileIn);

A: I reduced your code to a working example from which you can continue...
public class Test{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    try {
      File inputFile = new File("pa2Data.txt");
      File outputFile = new File("pa2output.txt");
      Scanner fileIn = new Scanner(inputFile);
      BufferedWriter fout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));

      while(fileIn.hasNext()){
        String theLine = fileIn.next();
        fout.write("Infix expression: " + theLine + '\n');
      }
      fileIn.close();
      fout.close();
   } catch(Exception e){
      e.printStackTrace();
   }
 }

}
Note that I have changed readFile(fileIn); to fileIn.next();to read from the Scanner. Did so, because you usedhasNext()` in the condition of the while-loop.

News|Emmanuel Macron
Life still will not be normal after May 11, Macron tells French
Lifting of lockdown restrictions is only first step, French president has warned.

Published On 1 May 20201 May 2020
Normality in France will not be resumed as soon as the nation's lockdown is lifted, President Emmanuel Macron has warned.
The easing of restrictions will only be a first step as the world looks to emerge from the crisis created by the coronavirus outbreak, he said on Friday.
"May 11 will not be the passage to normal life. There will be a recovery that will need to be reorganised," Macron said in a speech at the presidential palace in Paris. "There will be several phases, and May 11 will be one of them."
But not all aspects of prepandemic life are wanted. With a near-total lockdown, French cities have seen drastically reduced air pollution, and officials are hoping to prevent a return to days of dirty air.
A 20 million-euro ($21.7m) scheme launched by the government will offer 50 euros ($55) to citizens to pay for bike repairs, in a bid to encourage people to ditch four wheels in favour of two when the lockdown is lifted.
May 1 usually sees thousands of demonstrators on the streets, but traditional Labour Day protests were cancelled this year due to the virus that has killed about 24,000 people across France.

Unions instead organised online activities and asked people to bang pans and put out banners on their balconies to mark the day. Police disbanded a small protest in central Paris.
It was in stark contrast to this time last year, when tens of thousands of labour union and "yellow vest" protesters were on the streets across France demonstrating against Macron's policies.
Macron, in a message on his Twitter account, lauded the traditional parades and French workers, urging unity and solidarity during these tough times.
But highlighting the rocky path ahead, union officials were quick to underscore their concerns amid the crisis.
"Even if today we are confined, our demands are not," Yves Veyrier, head of the Force Ouvriere union, told France Inter radio.

Far-right opposition leader Marine Le Pen pressed ahead with her party's annual May 1 tradition of honouring medieval heroine Joan of Arc by laying a wreath at the golden statue of the 15th-century warrior in central Paris, despite the lockdown.

"I've never said I had doubts about the confinement. I just said complete confinement was the solution when we failed to prevent the epidemic," Le Pen, wearing a mask, told reporters.
"A successful end to the lockdown is with tests for everybody, masks for everybody – and I am opposed to schools opening before September."
Unwinding could be rewound
From May 11, schools will gradually reopen and businesses will be free to resume operations as the country's 67 million population comes out from the confinement in which they have been since mid-March.
The government has said it is prepared to slow or delay the unwinding of the lockdown if the virus infection rate spikes markedly higher, with administrative departments divided into "red" and "green" zones.
Opposition legislators and some experts have questioned the practicalities of schools reopening, the broad use of public transport and the tough measures that will continue to affect areas less affected by the virus.
Question marks have also been raised about the government's ability to reach its target of 700,000 COVID-19 tests by May 11, their implementation and the possible isolation of people who tested positive for the illness.


Many of the speaker reviews for this site have been multimedia speakers meant for a desktop computer. This time, we're going to be looking at a different class of speakers which are meant for a slightly different purpose. The Audioengine 5 is a speaker system meant for listening to music from an iPod music player. In this review, we will examine how well the speakers accommodate the use of the iPod with these speakers. And of course, we will examine the most basic concept in a speaker review...how well they sound.
Since I enjoy sound, you probably have noticed the many speaker reviews on the site. I'm always interested in the unique designs of speakers and of course in search for better sound. For PC users, the typical companies that come to mind when talking about multimedia speakers are Logitech, Creative, Altec Lansing, etc. Today, I present to you a speaker set that should not be left out: it is the Harman Kardon SoundSticks II.
Having taken a look at many of the audio products in Logitech's multimedia speaker line, Logitech has again introduced another multimedia speaker set for gamers on a budget. It is called the X-530. The X-530 is a 5.1 speaker setup that is composed of 4 satellite speakers and a subwoofer. This speaker boasts an RMS power of 70 Watts.
Although Logitech currently has other 5.1 multimedia speakers available, this speaker set is different than the others because it contains the newly introduced FDD2 satellite technology designed by Logitech to bring bigger and better sound.
Let's find out how well this speaker set sounds compared to Logitech's higher end models such as the Z-5300.


The warm, dry late winter weather in California has been good news for almond farmers who were concerned about a bee shortage during bloom, reported Capital Press.
"It looks good right now," said Rich Buchner, UC Cooperative Extension advisor in Tehama County. "The bees are out working like crazy. It's going to be warm and dry over the next 10 days, so it should be about perfect for almond set."
Almond growers are enjoying a vibrant blossom season even though California only had about 500,000 bee colonies available as of mid-February to pollinate this year's crop of 800,000 acres, according to Eric Mussen, UCCE specialist in the Department of Entomology at UC Davis. Typically, as many as 1.6 million are needed to provide two colonies per acre.
The favorable weather for bee activity comes with a catch, however. Precipitation totals are behind seasonal averages.
There's no need to re-wash pre-washed greens.
Re-washing bagged greens may be making salads dirtier, according to a bevy of food safety experts, reported Deborah Schoch in the Los Angeles Times.
Even the cleanest kitchens can teem with harmful pathogens - on cutting boards and in salad spinners, on knives that just sliced raw chicken, on damp, well-used cloth towels.
"In brief, consumers don't wash up very well and may contaminate produce due to dirty hands and dirty sink," emailed Christine M. Bruhn, director of the Center for Consumer Research at UC Davis. That's especially a problem with salad greens, since they never get cooked.
Schoch spoke to food experts from Kansas State University and the University of Maryland who also recommended pre-washed greens not be re-washed.
The American Sheep Industry Association is teaming up with the state sheep associations to expand the Let's Grow initiative to include mentor programs for beginning sheep producers.
"There is a real movement as far as people wanting to get back to the land. In some ways, it's like the 1960s and 70s, only with a whole bunch of bigger challenges," says Roger Ingram, University of California Cooperative Extension farm advisor.
Shepherds need to know how to run animals in a variety of environments, be able to identify common and uncommon pasture and range plants, know range nutrition, identify potential poisonous plants, be able to quickly asses the health of the flock and be able to take the appropriate steps in field conditions to fix problems, Ingram said.
The lack of rain has meant some Butte County almond growers have already irrigated twice, and some are starting a third run with the water. They would rather not water at all, and often don't need to this time of year, said Joe Connell, UC Cooperative Extension farm advisor.
It can cost about $40 to apply 12 inches of water to one acre, he said. Growers will think carefully before pumping if it looks like another storm is on the way. The most recent rain provided water to the first foot of soil, depending on the soil conditions. But almond growers will want the soil irrigated 3 to 4 feet down by bloom time.
Almond trees in the area will likely begin to bloom around Valentine's Day this year, about a week earlier than normal.
Losing bees to colony collapse disorder is not good for Yuba-Sutter. Beekeeping brought in about $3.9 million to area beekeepers in 2010, the last year for which data is available. On average, beekeepers have lost nearly one-third of their colonies each year since 2006.
That number likely skyrocketed last year as dwindling colonies drove higher prices. A shrinking supply of vibrant hives nearly doubled the price of a colony, from $33 to $58 between 2009 and 2010, according to the Sutter County Crop Report. The price nearly tripled again and is holding at about $150 a colony, said Eric Mussen, an apiculturist with UC Cooperative Extension at UC Davis.
"It just shot up," he added.
Glenn County farmers are restricted by law from planting cotton in the same field three years in a row if the level of verticillium wilt is detected in 3 percent or more of the crop.
It's been nearly 20 years since olive, walnut and pistachio farmers first declared war on cotton, but the Glenn County Board of Supervisors declared Tuesday that fear of verticillium dahliae levels might be a a bit overblown, said an article by Susan Meeker in the Colusa County Sun-Herald.
The board agreed to revisit the 2008 regulation that prevents cotton growers from planting in the same field three years in a row if the level of verticillium wilt is detected in 3 percent or more of the crop.
Doug Munier, farm advisor for University of California Cooperative Extension, said verticillium dahliae exists in native valley soils and is spread by movement.
"Verticillium was a minor problem with cotton was first planted in the mid-1990s and it is still a minor problem after 17 years of production," he said.
Government officials, leading bee experts and average beekeepers around the country say the strange discovery of a deadly bee parasite fly that makes honeybees act "zombie-like" is not seen nationwide — but only in a recently published San Francisco State University study. And some even question the veracity of the discovery itself.
The parasite fly is a long-time resident of California and a known nemesis to other bugs besides honeybees, the article said.


Newswise — Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago is one of the few centers participating in ASPIRO, an international Phase 1/2 clinical trial of a gene therapy product called AT132 for X-linked myotubular myopathy – a rare disease characterized by severe muscle weakness, breathing difficulty and early death. The study uses a respiratory virus called adeno-associated virus that is genetically modified to not cause illness but deliver a functional copy of the MTM1 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the function of muscle cells. This gene is defective in myotubular myopathy. By targeting the genetic cause of the disease and replacing the dysfunctional gene, researchers hope to help patients gain muscle function.
The open-label, ascending dose clinical trial will evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of AT132 in approximately 12 patients who are younger than 5 years of age. The gene therapy product will be administered intravenously.
