Both communities could see ballot issues Nov. 2 to ban the use of red light and speed cameras. A mix of organizations and residents pledged Saturday to launch petition drives to rid the streets of the photo-taking equipment. They've enlisted the aid of a Cincinnati group -- the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes, or COAST -- already involved in three successful anti-camera campaigns in Ohio.The chairman of COAST, Jason Gloyd, spoke Saturday during a meeting at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom: "Feel free to use these," he said, holding up Ban Red Light Camera election signs his group used previously.
Maryanne Petranek of Cuyahoga County for Liberty said petitions will start circulating in Cleveland once the weather warms. As she spoke from the Beachland's stage, a crowd of about 100 applauded when she promised that her group would push to eliminate the cameras that popped up in the city four years ago.
Members of a group from Garfield Heights -- including former City Council President Frank Wagner -- said they plan to run a simultaneous campaign in their town. Garfield Heights expects to start a photo-enforcement program later this year.
Petranek, of Cleveland, lambasted the cameras as an example of government stealing civil liberties and money from the public.
"We need to put our officials on notice," Petranek said. "We're finished being pushed around."
Cleveland officials said earlier in the week that they were unaware of any initiative against the camera program, which started at the end of 2005.
In an e-mailed statement, the city said the cameras represent "a major element in our overall strategy to prevent needless deaths and injuries on the streets." It called photo enforcement "an appropriate public safety response" to deter speeding and red light running.
Last year, the city's cameras caught 94,305 violators, down 13 percent from 2008. The city collected $8.25 million in fines.
Garfield Heights Mayor Vic Collova said the law allows cameras and that the city intends to start installing them this spring. He said he sees value in photo enforcement, but that the petitioners have the right to do what they think is necessary: "Whatever the residents want, they're going to get," Collova said.
Gloyd said that COAST will lend legal support and draft petitions for the drives in Cleveland and Garfield Heights at no charge provided that local groups agree to "hit the ground and get the signatures."
That won't be a problem, Petranek said. Volunteers even started stepping forward Saturday.
"Where can I get a petition?" asked Verzell Brewer of Cleveland. "Those cameras need to go."

Amid an ongoing debate over raising the debt ceiling and Congress’ seeming inability to rein in wild deficit spending, some proponents of even bigger government proposed the minting of a $1-trillion platinum coin to get around stubborn lawmakers seeking budget cuts. Seriously. Originally, the Obama administration refused to rule it out when asked by reporters, leaving analysts to speculate about whether or not they would really do it.
Then, suddenly, the privately owned Federal Reserve put its foot down and killed the scheme. In a joint statement issued with the U.S. Treasury, the central banking cartel, which holds a virtual monopoly on currency production, said no way. The Fed would not accept such a coin even if the federal government were to mint it. While never mentioned in the mainstream media, the implications of the whole episode are enormous.
Two years ago Steve Forbes, two-time candidate for nomination for president by the Republican Party and editor of Forbes magazine, predicted “a return to the gold standard by the United States within five years … [because it would] help the nation solve a variety of economic, fiscal and monetary ills.” It’s now two years into his prediction and articles explaining how such a return would work, and why, are beginning to appear in the media.
The passing of scholar James Buchanan stills the voice of one who understood the fact that men, without Constitutional constraints, will vote themselves unlimited largess from the public treasury due to their own self interest.
Now that President Obama and most of his key congressional allies are safely re-elected and the so-called “fiscal cliff” negotiated, the full consequences of the most recent elections are coming into view. Despite repeated assurances he would not raise taxes on any but the wealthiest Americans, the president (with the grudging support of many congressional Republicans), has — before even being sworn into his second term in office — enacted massive tax hikes that will affect almost every working American.

Family vacation ~ Pura Vida
One of my biggest dreams has been to travel with my family. Well, this summer we've finally gotten a taste of it, and we are all hungry for MORE! Unfortunately, my husband couldn't join us, but I was able to take the kids on an amazing trip to Costa Rica.
I was lucky enough to do a lot of travelling when I was younger, BC (before Calande/before children). It's an enriching and life changing experience, and I wanted my children to feel the thrill of seeing another country, hearing another language, smelling exotic smells, tasting new tastes, and being immersed in a different culture. Being that my children are really adults, 21 and 19, I also wanted to throw in some excitement and adventure. Costa Rica was the place for us. It's exotic, yet still safe for travelling. The people are educated, warm, and friendly. Tourism is one of their main sources of income, and the country has done a wonderful job of making travel easy, while still being eco-friendly, which is important to us. Over 25% of Costa Rica is composed of conservation and natural protected territory.
Planning our trip was a blast. What a difference from when I was backpacking around the world and carrying around the Lonely Planet and Frommer's guides. Even the most recent of those books would be passe information, and one never knew if there would actually be a bed at the end of a day. Nowadays, every aspect of planning is at your fingertips, with immediate, up-to-date information, pictures and even reviews.
After filling my head with firsthand accounts, statistics, and stories, I started narrowing down an itinerary ~ La Fortuna, Monteverde and Manuel Antonio. Reading about the horrendous state of the roads, lack of addresses, possible criminal activities on the roadways, I quickly tossed in the keys and opted not to drive. Time and time again I came across a company called Desafio. Their Trip Advisor reviews were plentiful and positive. They did not steer me wrong, because Desafio delivered and was a dream to work with. We used them for adventure connections and tours five different times, and would use them again in a heartbeat.
When I told my daughter that we were travelling with only carry-on, the look on her face was priceless. We were arriving at midnight, and I did not want to wait for our luggage, or even worse, deal with lost luggage. With a little finagling and some ingenuity, we made it work. Moistened towelettes and solid sticks do not count as liquids, so we had bug repellent towelettes and solid stick sunscreen. Travelling in the "green" or wet season called for quick dry clothing, which is very lightweight and packs well. We were thrilled with our Eddie Bauer and Marmot gear. The heaviest things we packed, but were glad to have, were a pair of good walking/hiking tennis shoes and rain gear (jacket for sure and pants if you're going to zipline.)
The biggest difficulty was getting to and from Costa Rica. Our travel days were nearly a full day each, with arrival and departure from San Jose, Costa Rica after midnight. When United offered an upgrade to first class for $200, I took it. Being in a more comfortable seat, decent meals, and use of the lounge with beverages and snacks included during our extremely long layovers made the upgrade well worth it. A side note, the lounge in San Jose closes at 8:00 pm, and if you have the opportunity to fly on their "Dreamliner", do it.
One good thing about arriving after midnight, there were no lines! We were greeted by a smiling immigration officer, who quickly stamped our passports;we scooted through customs; and we were on our way. For peace of mind, I had pre-arranged a driver through our hotel to pick us up. We could have easily hired a taxi, though the cost would have been about the same.
Our stay in San Jose was short and sweet, a mere six hours. The Hotel Grano De Oro was very comfortable, and I wish we could have lingered for breakfast in their beautiful establishment, but our Desafio driver was prompt and waiting by 7:00 am. We took our breakfast to go as we sleepily, yet excitedly climbed into his comfortable van, equipped with wifi and air conditioning if needed.
He safely drove us out of the sprawling city of San Jose, through hillsides of coffee and sugar cane fields, smaller villages, to our destination for white water rafting on the Balsa River. Our driver stayed with the van and our belongings as we were outfitted and guided down the Balsa. Pura Vida, and welcome to Costa Rica!
Our guide was so knowledgeable and funny. He pointed out iguanas lounging high in the treetops, a variety of birds, all types of flora and fauna, even bringing us a blue jeans frog to look at close up before carefully placing him back, all along our white knuckle ride down the river. It was thrilling, a little terrifying, completely fun, and I felt safe and well looked after.
We lunched afterwards in a local "soda" or small restaurant. I had read that the food in Cost Rica was not so great, but we all found that not to be true. We tried and enjoyed everything!
We were taken through the town of La Fortuna, to our hotel, the Tabacon. The hotel is very pretty, but what really stands out are their hot springs. After a full day of travel and white water rafting, it was exactly what we needed.
The hot springs grounds are magical. They are natural hot springs and streams that have been rocked in and landscaped into Shangri La. There is a portion of the hot springs that are for hotel guests only,
with cabanas dotted around for your lounging enjoyment.
We were picked up in the morning at our hotel and taken to the Arenal hanging bridges, in the Volcan Arenal National Park. I was impressed by the care that was taken to preserve the natural resources, while facilitating tourists in seeing these natural treasures. There were paved paths and, of course, sky high hanging bridges. The scenery was spectacular, and I was so glad to have our guide point out many wonders that we would have passed right on by without seeing. A tiny hole in the side of the mountain proved to be a tarantula abode, and our guide used my son's iphone to film the tarantula moving about. A great learning tool and what a memento (not for the spider squeamish!)
Our next day we traveled from La Fortuna to Monteverde via a taxi boat cruise along the Arenal Lake.
We learned much about the coffee industry in Costa Rica at the Don Juan coffee and chocolate tour. We are self-admitted chocolate snobs, and were eager to know how it's grown, processed, and sample seeds from the pod and fresh milled cocoa nibs. Heaven!
The Hidden Canopy Treehouse in Monteverde was our next stop. Jen, an expat from Santa Cruz (where we used to live) is the proprietess extraordinaire of this lovely establishment. The kids and I really enjoyed our stay here.We arrived just in time for "happy hour" ~ savories, sweets and sangria, oh my! My son was 18 and legal in Costa Rica, and we all enjoyed Jen's delicious sangrias and the breathtaking view over the valley.
Ziplining was every bit the thrilling, heart stopping, adrenaline overload expected, while still being able to enjoy the over-the-top scenery. Nothing like it. Seeing so many hummingbirds and butterflies was a sweet experience.
At night, after happy hour of course, we took a taxi into town to the Cafe Cabure, for a fresh, delicious dinner and hand made chocolates to take away. That day we took advantage of Jen's laundry service. For $20 a load, it was a good deal and much needed, as the humidity made for wet, soggy once worn clothing.
The following morning we were picked up by Luis, our driver to Manuel Antonio. Luis was another cheerful, knowledgeable, congenial Costa Rican. He answered our constant barrage of questions about the scenery, Costa Rican life, the education system, trade and wildlife. We stopped to view the crocodiles along the way ~ huge, primal beasts, dozens of them! He even pulled over to point out a pair of macaws that he spotted.
We soaked in all the different terrains and landscapes. There is a plethora of diverse eco systems in a relatively small space in Costa Rica, and we were fortunate to see a number of them.
Manuel Antonio is a gorgeous juxtaposition of ocean and jungle. We arrived at the Hotel Parador, high on the peninsula hill, with the ocean on both sides, and the jungle to our back.
After being in the relatively "cool" weather (temperate 70's) of the north, we were hit by the overwhelming heat and humidity of this new area. We checked in and made haste to the pools.
I'll never forget the evening we sat on our balcony and watched the storm roll in with its spectacular lightening show.
One of my favorite things about Costa Rica is the warm water. Whether in streams, rivers, or the ocean, it was such a treat to swim in its temperate waters.
We stayed in Manuel Antonio for five days and enjoyed its beaches, snorkeling, hiking their National Park, kayaking in the mangroves, bike riding through a small village, and seeing wildlife.
Mamma humpback whale, baby at her side.
They would pick the mangoes right from the trees, peel them, nibble away, then toss them down when finished ~ be warned of falling mango pits!
Our last day came all too quickly. From the open-air airport in Quepos, we boarded a tiny (and I mean tiny) plane back to San Jose.
Since we had all day until our midnight flight back home, I again relied on Desafio. They arranged a walking tour of San Jose, a visit to a traditional mask maker's home, and dinner in a locals' dinner house. Again, we were impressed with the amount of information imparted to us and the charm of the locals.
I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to travel for my children. I know, this was a more "coushy" trip than I used to travel in my younger days. My kids can experience that thrill of travelling with their compatriots in the trains, sleeping in the hostels (or rooftops as sometimes happens), and winging it when they decide to travel on their own. I know they'll love it, just as I did. But for this trip, this was just what I wanted and all I could have hoped for.

Ketogenic diets and fasting have rapidly expanded in popularity and clinical applications, and the benefits of both result, in part, from the physiological state of ketosis. In fact, the ketogenic diet acquired its name from the observation that three water-soluble compounds, β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), acetoacetate (AcAc), and acetone (collectively known as ketone bodies) were elevated in healthy people during prolonged fasting or carbohydrate restriction. The level of ketosis correlates with clinical management of many disease processes and also provides a lens into our metabolic flexibility. Ketone monitoring devices are thus powerful tools for providing actionable feedback on one’s health.
Ketogenesis and Ketone Measurement
Both ketogenic diets and fasting have the common effect of drastically limiting glucose availability in the body, which instead must then rely on fats for fuel. Insulin levels are suppressed, driving a sharp increase in fatty acid β-oxidation by liver mitochondria. Under normal conditions, the end product of fatty acid oxidation – acetyl-CoA – is subsequently utilized in the TCA cycle to produce cellular energy. In a ketogenic state, however, the very high rate of β-oxidation produces acetyl-CoA at levels that exceed TCA cycle processing capacity, and the excess acetyl-CoA is instead shuttled toward the biosynthesis of ketone bodies. Acetyl-CoA substrates are converted through multiple enzymatic steps to acetoacetate (AcAc), which then gives rise to BHB. BHB is the most stable and abundant ketone in circulation and is rapidly taken up into brain and peripheral tissues, where it can be used as a fuel source.
Measurement of ketone bodies provides a means for quantifying the level of ketosis that an individual is experiencing. AcAc, for example, can be measured using urine test strips, with a level of 15 mg/dL constituting the clinical cutoff for ketosis. Commercially available ketone monitoring systems measure BHB in the blood; levels of BHB above 0.5 mmol/L (or mM) are clinically considered ketosis. However, ketone production can vary significantly throughout the day, and based upon the current clinical trial results, it is concluded that multiple daily ketone measurements (3-5x/day) are needed to capture the full picture of daily ketone exposure. If measuring BHB in circulation, this would involve many finger pricks and expensive test strips. Thus, there is a need for accurate ketone monitoring systems that are easier to use and more cost-effective than those measuring blood BHB.
Breath Acetone Measurement
In addition to giving rise to BHB, AcAc can alternatively be converted spontaneously to acetone, a small volatile organic compound that readily diffuses into the lungs and is expelled when we exhale. In healthy, non-dieting subjects, breath acetone level can be as low as 1 ppm, whereas levels as high as 1,250 ppm can be observed in diabetic ketoacidosis. Breath acetone rises during a fast as the body mobilizes stored fat to meet its energy requirements. Numerous studies have correlated the level of breath acetone with fat loss (reviewed here), and elevated breath acetone while fasting indicates that your body has made the “metabolic switch” towards greater fat and ketone metabolism.
Breath acetone can now be measured with high precision, accuracy, and sensitivity (e.g.,1 ppm range), making it a viable alternative to blood BHB for ketone monitoring.
What is Biosense?
Readout Health developed Biosense®, which is currently the only medical-grade breath acetone device designed for tracking ketosis. The Biosense clinical trial showcased the technology and clinical data demonstrating a correlation of breath acetone with blood BHB. The relationship between blood and breath ketones is temporally shifted, and, under certain conditions like fasting (see below), may vary depending on the individual’s metabolism and energy demand. In the context of a eucaloric ketogenic diet, the areas under the curve (AUCs) from breath and blood measurements are highly correlated.
Compared with BHB tests, simply blowing into a Biosense device is considerably less invasive and more cost-effective. The Biosense device includes a free app with personalized ketone data and goal tracking, which is Bluetooth-enabled (when synced) and permits unlimited testing (no expensive strips needed). In addition to its clinical superiority when compared to other breath ketone devices, Biosense has launched several in-app programs that include weight loss, anti-inflammatory, and even healthspan for a fasting-centric experience.
Biosense uses proprietary units called ACEs, where 1 ACE is equivalent to 0.1 mmol/L of BHB. Since nutritional ketosis is typically defined as blood BHB levels ranging from 0.5-3.0 mmol/L, an ACE score of 5+ would indicate ketosis. The level of carbohydrate restriction, calorie restriction, or duration of your fast will directly influence the levels of ACEs detected by the Biosense meter. The higher your ACE score, the deeper you are in ketosis.
0-4 ACEs – Trace
5-14 ACEs – Small
15-30 ACEs – Moderate
31-39 ACEs – Large
40 – High (typically only seen with prolonged fasting or high-dose exogenous ketones)
For those who want to achieve a deeper and potentially more therapeutic state of ketosis, it is best to aim for over 10 ACEs. This level of ketosis would be consistent with individuals using clinical ketogenic diets. In addition, Biosense has found that this level of ketosis can be easily achieved with a modified fasting approach. Exercise is another quick and reliable way to elevate ACEs.
In summary, the Biosense breath acetone meter is a tool for the clinical monitoring of therapeutic ketosis. In addition, it can help those who want to monitor their nutrition, ketone supplementation, exercise, and fasting protocols to provide insight and feedback for actionable steps towards optimizing your metabolic health.

2023 SUNDAY BLUES CRUISES
KNOXVILLE RIVERBOAT COMPANY
The Smoky Mountain Blues Society will once again present live music with its continuation of our monthly River Cruises of 2023. This month’s performance will feature the Shaun Murphy Band on the Tennessee Riverboat on Sunday, May 7th at 4 pm – 7 pm.
Shaun Murphy found my way to the Blues stage at the first Ann Arbor Blues Fest, in 1969, and was completely smitten. Getting to play at such an important milestone festival had my head spinning. That was my awakening to the Blues, and I couldn’t have been among a better line-up: Big Mama Thornton, Luther Allison, Son House, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the list went on and on.
Solidified into the Detroit music scene, I found my calling, but it was to be a bit elusive. While I continued my music education over the years, I was also free to pursue another of my loves, acting, where I was able to snag two different life-changing musical plays: Hair and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band On The Road.
Right after the recording of the record, “Stoney and Meatloaf”, Motown moved out to Los Angeles taking me with them. After a short stay in LA, I got back in touch with Bob Seger’s manager, Punch Andrews, and it just so happened, Bob was, again, looking for a singer. So I headed back to the music scene I was so familiar with, Detroit.
Starting with the recording of Katmandu, under the pseudonym, Stoney. I was in Detroit and, again, working with Bob and his band; The Borneo Band, along with some of the Silver Bullet boys, Chris Campbell, Alto Reed, and Drew Abbott, and throw in a couple of Tulsa boys: Jamie Oldaker and Dick Sims, along with my pal Marcy Levy (Marcella Detroit).
When Bob Seger decided to take some time off the road, I was contacted again by my old friend, Marcy Levy, (of Leon Russell and Eric Clapton fame) that Eric Clapton was doing a record with Phil Collins producing, and would I be interested in coming to Montserrat to record the backing vocals on his ‘Behind The Sun’ album.
The experience was thrilling; to get back to my roots, and with the ‘guitar god’ himself. I, of course, said yes! We recorded this great record, and after the first song, Eric asked me if I’d like to do the tour, it was too good to be true!
Check out one of Shaun Murphy Band Live Videos here:

Multi-coloured sheep and helicopter rides will be among the attractions at a Tour de France campsite near Otley.
A trio of sheep at the Tour Camping campsite on Pool Road have been dyed yellow, green and red polka-dots to mimic the jerseys worn by the top performing riders in the famous race.
And the organisers have also arranged for helicopter flights – provided by Heli-Jet Aviation, and offering trips along the Wharfe Valley – to be available from the site, off the A659, after the Tour has passed on Saturday, July 5.
MP Greg Mulholland (Lib Dem, Leeds North West) recently dropped in to have a look at the campsite and its eye-catching sheep.
He said: “The Tour Camping campsite in Otley is an excellent idea and will give cycling fans and tourists a perfect view of the race as it zooms through Pool on its way to Otley.
“The onsite entertainment, helicopter rides, food, showers and toilet facilities, will no doubt satisfy the many visitors who will be flocking to the area for Otley Cycle Race and the Tour de France.”
The Tour Camping team, meanwhile – John and Caroline Scholey, David and Julie Asquith, and Susan Hudson – have lined up an evening of live music, featuring Harrogate band The Directors, for the evening before the Tour’s start.
And they are also aiming to raise a substantial amount for charity after joining Marie Curie Cancer Care’s Grand Departy campaign.

2020 R8 supercar gets new styling, more hp; TT coupe faces uncertain future
The latest updates to Audi’s two high-performance twin-seaters — the 2020 R8 V-10-powered supercar and the more diminutive four-cylinder-powered 2019 TT RS — are not only aimed at different buyers, they appear to be aimed in different directions.
Both were shown at the recent New York auto show.
The updates to the 2020 R8 include fresh exterior styling, new colors inside and out, and new wheels to go with enhanced performance from the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V-10 engine. Audi says it gained 30 horsepower from the R8 V10 coupe, lifting the total to 562 horsepower and allowing the supercar to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 201 mph.
An even more powerful version, the R8 V10 performance coupe, keeps its 602-hp rating and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds.
Audi is releasing a limited-run 10-year anniversary edition of the higher-performance R8 coupe called the Decennium for the 2020 model year, featuring Mythos Black metallic paint, matte bronze-finished milled 20-inch wheels and intake manifolds and special badging.
The interior is finished entirely in black with gloss carbon fiber accents. Diamond stitching on the sport seats is finished in gloss black with contrasting stitching in a copper tone. And copper stitching is used on the gear shift area, steering wheel, and center armrest and door panels.
Only 222 of the numbered Decennium versions will be manufactured globally, including 50 that will be sold in the U.S., Audi said.
The 2020 R8 V10 Coupe will start at $172,450 including delivery and gas guzzler tax, and the Decennium version will start at $217,545. The new R8 is expected to go on sale this summer.
Tears for TT
While the R8’s future looks relatively secure, the same likely can’t be said for the German luxury brand’s smaller TT sports coupe. Brand head Bram Schot hinted this year that the TT’s days might be numbered, at least in gasoline-powered form, telling Autocar magazine that he’s “got some things cooking which could replace TT, though not necessarily directly.”
Until then, the latest updates for the 2019 Audi TT RS include a modified front fascia, a redesigned fixed rear-wing spoiler, newly standard 19-inch titanium matte-finished five-spoke wheels and a newly available Dynamic package that includes 20-inch wheels, red brake calipers and sport exhaust tips.
Its 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine has 394 hp and 354 foot-pounds of torque at 1,700 rpm. With standard all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission, Audi cites 0-60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds.
The 2019 Audi TT RS starts at $67,895 including delivery. It is expected in dealerships later this spring.

Pejaković, D. A., Kalogerakis, K. S., Copeland, R. A., & Huestis, D. L. (2008). Laboratory determination of the rate coefficient for three‐body recombination of oxygen atoms in nitrogen. Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 113(A4).
A laser-based measurement of the rate coefficient for O-atom three-body recombination at room temperature is reported. The experiment employs the pulsed output of a fluorine laser at 157.6 nm to achieve high degrees of photodissociation of molecular oxygen. In a high-pressure (1 atm) background of N2, the produced oxygen atoms recombine in a timescale of several milliseconds. The O-atom population is monitored by two-photon laser-induced fluorescence at 845 nm, using a second laser with output near 226 nm. The measured value of the rate coefficient is (2.7 ± 0.3) × 10−33 cm6s−1 (1σ uncertainty), a value a factor of 2 lower than that currently adopted by the atmospheric modeling community.

Ayutthaya, or Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, was once the capital of Thailand (known as Siam back then) and considered the most spectacular place on Earth. In the 1700s, Ayutthaya was the largest and wealthiest city in Asia with 1,700 temples and over 4,000 golden Buddha statues. In 1767, all this came to an end during the Burmese invasion, and the city was almost completely destroyed. UNESCO has granted the spectacular ruins that now remain World Heritage status.
Ayutthaya is about 80 km north of Bangkok, and for as little as 60 baht you can go there by minivan from Victory Monument BTS (Skytrain). To find the van zone, head out of the BTS station at exit 4 and ask your way.
The Historical Park is huge (see the map further down on this page), and some people rent bicycles on arrival. We hired a tuk-tuk, and the driver showed us a map of the park, and we told him what temples we wanted to see. We came here for the temples that appear in the movies Mortal Kombat and Kickboxer with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Yay! We visited six different temples, but there are over 20 impressive temples here.
Wat Chaiwatthanaram, situated by the Chao Phraya River, appears in the movie Mortal Kombat. The temple was constructed in 1630 by the King Prasat Thong. The central prang (reliquary tower) is believed to contain relics of the Lord Buddha.
Mutilated Buddha statues in Wat Chaiwatthanaram.
Wat Phra Si Sanphet is another temple that appears in the movie Mortal Kombat. Wat Phra Sisanphet is the largest and most significant temple since it was used as the royal temple and palace for several Ayutthaya kings.
Wat Ratchaburana appears in Kickboxer as “Stone City.”
Wat Phra Ram, right across from Wat Phra Si Sanphet, was built in 1369 on the site of the first Ayutthaya king’s cremation.
The head of Buddha, with a tree trunk and roots growing around it at Wat Mahathat, is the most iconic image in Ayutthaya.

The Reclining Buddha at Wat Lokkayasutharam appears in Sagat’s stage in most of the Street Fighter games.
Ayutthaya has surprisingly few tourists. Be careful in the heat, and drink lots of water!

Google\n \n announced its launch of Google Sites yesterday, a service that allows people to create web pages and even corporate intranets with no programming experience. Early testers contend the technology holds immense promise for online collaboration, but it could draw mixed responses from IT managers seeking to retain their command of corporate systems. \n\n\n\n\nRELATED LINKS\nCapgemini Will Watch Your Back on Google Apps\n\nSharePoint 2007 Demystified: How to Cash in on Collaboration Tools\n\nAddition of E-mail Security Services Could Help Google Prove Value in the Enterprise\n\nFor Google's part, the goal is clear: "We want people to build really rich sites with no technical expertise," Scott Johnston, senior product manager with Google Sites, told CIO. "This will empower the end-user who is trying to get information out there."\n\n\n\tJohnston used to work for JotSpot, a wiki platform Google acquired in November of 2006. Google Sites has incorporated some of \n \n\t\n JotSpot's\n \n wiki technology and easy editing capabilities that allow users to post information and create websites without knowing programming languages.\n\n\n\n\n\n\tGoogle Sites runs as a part of Google Apps , the web-based productivity suite that includes Gmail, Calendaring, and Documents & Spreadsheets. Johnston says Google wants customers to utilize the Sites feature as a way to ease the burden on IT departments by giving users the power to make their own collaboration spaces online. At the same time, he says the service will give IT the ability to monitor and control access for its users.\n\n\n\t"We don't want to fight against IT," he says. "We want to help them be better. They can update and manage all the sites." \n\n\n\tTodd Sutton, assistant vice chancellor for application services at the University of North Carolina Greensboro (UNCG), says he has had early success with Google Sites by letting a test group of 15 users create sites to collaborate on projects. "It can work for students who aren't computer science majors," he says. "You don't need to be tech savvy."\n\n\n\nGoogle Sites seems a natural fit for \n\n\t\n UNCG\n \n, which already has its students on Gmail and says that students have gravitated toward using the web-based features in Google Apps. \n\n\n\n\n\nJim Murphy, an analyst with \n\n\t\n AMR Research\n \n, says IT departments might view the service as a mixed blessing. On one hand, he says they'll welcome the opportunity to empower users, but on the other, it might marginalize their role in the organization if more and more business users sign up for web-based services (or, Software as a Service) such as Google Apps without their knowledge.\n\n\n\n"They hope 'don't burden' doesn't mean being avoided altogether," he says. \n\n\nMurphy adds that Google Sites seems a clear competitor to \n\n\t\n Microsoft\n \n SharePoint, which has a rich set of collaboration tools such as wikis and blogs. He says that while SharePoint boasts more functionality than Google Sites, it could use the dose of simplicity that Google has injected into the collaboration space.\n\n\n\n\n\n"What [SharePoint customers] found over time is that they were asking for functionality they already had, but didn't realize was there," he says.

Oleg Volk 06.30.15
Over the years, the utility of 7.62×39 cartridge has been reconfirmed as decisively as the limitations of the AKM open sights and work-around solutions for mounting optics. While aftermarket options help substantially, most AKs still come with relatively light barrels and thin stamped receivers that flex on firing. Further, AK manual of arms differs considerably Firingline Arms Group LLC has designed CTMR rifle to address those shortcomings: it’s built on a machined receiver and uses ambidextrous AR-style rotary safety/selector lever, along with AR charging handle and Magpul telescoping stock. Full length railed forend is set up for magnified or red dot optics.
The sample I test-fired is an early prototype. It differs from the upcoming production version in small details which I will note. The gas system is standard AK, while the barrel mounting is more similar to ARAK21, with relatively quick dismounting possible for changing out a shot out tube or altering the length for a specific mission.
CTMR is similar to AKM in overall weight but feels a bit heavier, mainly due to the forward balance. That same balance makes the rifle stay on target well between shots. Felt recoil is less than with an AK and feels more gentle. The trigger is on part with the best aftermarket solutions for the AK, definitely better than on stock AR15. Overall, it’s the American answer to AK12 variant.
The rifle worked well with Magpul and Thermold 30 rounders. The wide flat forend made supported firing easier, and we got excellent results even with unmagnified sight and cheap Russian Brown Bear JHP–1.5″ at 50 yards, 3MOA. This is how 3MOA looks in real life–quite respectable for this type or defensive arm.
For comparison, bolt action CZ527 shot 4MOA groups with the same ammunition and 2MOA with American-made hunting soft points. I wasn’t able to test accuracy of CTMR with American ammunition (Winchester and Federal) as the rifle started stringing vertically by the time we shot up Barnaul. I asked about it and found that the prototype barrel had not been stress relived after fluting. All production barrels go through cryo treatment to remove machining stresses and do not string groups when hot.
Even the first-time shooter found the rifle comfortable and accurate. We had no malfunctions with any of the loads, roughly 120 rounds fired in all. After that, the 96*F heat and high humidity drove me off the range.
The forend heats up fairly quickly due to the AK-style venting of excess gas inside. For heavy use, keymod rail covers would be helpful. Take-down is by popping the rear pin and unscrewing the thumbscrew (also slotted for a screwdriver or coin) on top of the forend. The rest of the process follows AK take-down fairly closely.
My sole complaint with the design is the substitution of an awkward safety lever for another, equally awkward solution. My thumb isn’t long enough to reach the selector on the left, and my hand to be shifted around the grip to allow the index finger to disengage it on the right side. The rounded magazine release is changing to a larger, less rounded shape in the production version. All double-stack box magazines fit but not drums. The quality of machining is high and all steel parts have been nitrided to resist corrosion and wear. Initially CTMR comes in 7.62×39, later will be available in .223 and .300 using AR magazines. I will report on the production rifles as they become available in late July.

Best-selling British novelist Edward Rutherfurd will visit Hingham Public Library on Thursday, March 9 at 7 p.m. to discuss his just-released "Rebels of Ireland: The Dublin Saga."
Rutherfurd, a spell-binding storyteller, is master both of detail and of the sweep of history - a lucky combination of talents that has produced six historical novels rich in atmosphere, setting, and character. Like James Michener and Leon Uris, Rutherfurd puts a human face on history, giving readers an enormous amount of historical knowledge wrapped in a hugely entertaining story. "Sarum," his first book, recounted the history of the area around Stonehenge from the Ice Age to the present through the stories of five intertwined families; likewise, through the eyes of ordinary folk down through the ages, "London" told the story of the city that evolved from a trading outpost to the seat of an empire.
In 2004 Rutherfurd turned his attention to Ireland with the publication of "The Princes of Ireland," the first novel in his Dublin Saga, which encompasses the sweep of Irish history from pre-Christian times to the mid-16th century. The newly released "Rebels of Ireland" continues the story against the fractured backdrop of rebellion against the British crown from the Tudor age to the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922. Like its predecessor, "Rebels" showcases Rutherfurd's talent for capturing the atmosphere of Dublin, the accidental poetry of Irish speech, and the sadness and spirit of the Irish people.
This is a free event presented in partnership with Buttonwood Books of Cohasset. Buttonwood will have copies of all the author's novels available for anyone who wishes to purchase copies and have them autographed. Coffee and light dessert will be available at 6:45 p.m.

The Old Coffee House is in fact an old pub, with old pub attitudes, drinks and decor: the vintage etched mirror still advertises MB Foster and Truman, Hanbury & Buxton; birds stay stuffed in glass frames; and the menu still consists of pies and jacket potatoes. The layout of the place, though, lies with its 18th-century roots, when such coffeehouses were debating chambers for rational political discussion.
The debate today is carried out between two Sky Sports TV screens at each end of the one-room interior. The racing form is also perused, on the bar beside various handpumps (look out for the Brodie’s ales). A framed display of David Beckham memorabilia contains a signed photo, close-ups of that last-minute free-kick against Greece, and a letter written by him as a teenage apprentice to ‘lee’, explaining how he’d just received his first match fee and bonus, and now had £250 in the bank. Like we said: vintage.

Few issues elicit such vehement and vitriolic responses from the Catholic faithful like those dealing with immigration. Such was the case recently when our Maryland Catholic Conference pledged the support of the Catholic Church in Maryland for a bill that will allow immigrant students to attend Maryland’s state institutions of higher learning at the same tuition rate as other resident students of Maryland.
Concerns about the vast extent of illegal immigration in our country are completely legitimate, and as we have said in the past, the Church does not condone breaking the law. But we also recognize that our country’s immigration system is impossibly broken, and that practical and humane solutions to this issue must come from the federal government. In the meantime, as a Church, and as Marylanders, we are called to recognize that all of our neighbors, including those who look and speak differently than we do, are deserving of our welcome and compassion.
The bill to provide in-state tuition rates to immigrant students in fact is fashioned to clearly balance many of these concerns. To counter claims that immigrant students would take highly coveted spots at Maryland’s colleges and universities, the bill will only allow these students to apply at first to community colleges, which have open enrollments. After two years students are then eligible – if they qualify academically – to apply to state universities at the in-state tuition rate. If they are accepted, their seats may not be counted among the seats the University of Maryland system is required to reserve for resident students. They are not eligible to receive scholarship assistance. They must provide documentation that they or their parents have and will continue to pay income taxes.
Most importantly, we must remember that this legislation affects children who are here through no choice of their own, and who do not deserve to be held responsible for the fact that their parents may have brought them here illegally. These are our students who often have spent most of their lives in classrooms with all children in Maryland, and who at a minimum must have attended Maryland high schools for at least three years. They are also students who want to further their education, and who are making the right choices in order to lead productive lives. If we are to face the reality honestly, that these students are likely to remain in our country, isn’t it in the best interests of all that they be encouraged to contribute positively to our society?
Both the Archdiocese and the Maryland Catholic Conference have received a number of complaints about the Church’s support for the bill, and some opponents are even pursuing efforts to overturn the law by petitioning it to a statewide referendum. Given the emotional, and sadly, sometimes uncharitable, reactions we have witnessed on the issue of immigration, we hope the referendum efforts will not go forward and further divide our state on this issue.
Voices of opposition regarding this issue have also been expressed in other parts of the country, many of which have been amplified by powerful grassroots organizations that have emerged to lead the charge against immigration, legal or illegal.
The New York Times highlighted the relatively unknown founder of the three most prominent such groups, Dr. John Tanton.
Some 30 years ago, as he viewed the impact of increased immigration rates from his home in rural northern Michigan, Dr. Tanton, “a beekeeper and amateur naturalist” who spent 20 years “planting trees, cleaning creeks and suing developers,” sought allies – including Planned Parenthood and the Sierra Club – to curb the source of unwanted population growth.
In the years that followed, he would create three organizations aimed at reducing immigration, legal and illegal, that would yield immense influence in Washington, D.C., and throughout the country:
• Numbers USA – Credited with the downfall of President George W. Bush’s 2007 immigration reform plan that included a path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants;
• The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) – Perhaps the largest and best-known of the three, helped draft the controversial Arizona immigration law that gives sweeping authority to police departments to enforce immigration laws;
• The Center for Immigration Studies – Played a crucial role in the recent defeat of the Dream Act, which would have created a path to citizenship for people brought to the country illegally as children.
What was particularly troubling in the Times article is its chronicling of a man whose motivation revealed a sinister ideology. “He increasingly saw immigration through a racial lens,” the article said of Tanton, who once wrote to a large donor of one of his “prime concerns … about the decline of folks who look like you and me.”
Tanton’s writings also revealed a bent towards eugenics. “Do we leave it to individuals to decide that they are intelligent ones who should have more kids?” Tanton wrote. “And more troublesome, what about the less intelligent, who logically should have less. Who is going to break the bad news to them.”
It is of little surprise, then, that he sought the support of Planned Parenthood to advance his cause. After all, it was Margaret Sanger, the group’s founder, who said, “The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
While there are legitimate concerns about the extent of illegal immigration in our nation, we must also be wary of an anti-immigration movement afoot in our country, including right here in Maryland, that is fueled in large part by a man who has spent much of his life, albeit it at a great distance, playing on people’s fears and prejudices to advance his own racist and classist agenda.
People, many unwittingly, are donating money to and registering outrage with their elected officials because of the vitriol being spread by such groups, founded by a man who opposes the immigration of any people to this country.
While I certainly do not believe everyone opposed to immigration shares Tanton’s misguided thinking, it is appropriate that such motivations by the founder of three of the largest efforts in a growing anti-immigrant movement should be exposed. Perhaps it will cause others to examine the true motivations of their own beliefs.
To help further the introspection as to why many are so strident on this issue, let me pose this simple question: Would we happily welcome immigrants to our country if they were here legally?
For us Catholics, our Church’s stance on immigration has been consistent throughout history, and has played an integral role in the growth of the Catholic faith in our country. Our own Cardinal James Gibbons, an outspoken advocate for racial and ethnic equality, perhaps said it best in 1915, when he posed the following question in opposition to a national literacy test for immigrants. It is a question that still resonates today:
“What would this country have amounted to as a nation had its founders immediately after the Revolution closed its portals to honest but illiterate immigration? Many of the nation’s greatest men in every field of service were immigrants or the sons of immigrants. We still cherish the hope that this is ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave,’ and the refuge of those honest and virtuous men and women who conscientiously believe the land which gave them birth does not give them the rights or advantages that good men crave to live peacefully and well.”

- Senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is proposing a new tax on companies that pay their CEOs at least 50 times more than the typical worker.
- Sanders said the revenue from the tax would be used to eliminate Americans' medical debt.
- Income inequality in the U.S. is at its highest level in at least 50 years, Census data show.
In a step to address the country's proposing a new tax on large companies whose chief executives earn far more than their workers., Sen. Bernie Sanders is
The proposal, which the Vermont independent and Democratic presidential candidate said would raise $150 billion over a decade, targets companies whose CEOs are paid more than 50 times the median annual income of their employees. That would hit corporations with lavish executive compensation — for example, JP Morgan Chase and Walmart would pay up to $992 million and $794 million under the proposed tax, respectively. The tax would be applied to corporations with more than $100 million in annual revenue.
For instance, companies where CEOs earn between 50 to 100 times their median worker's pay would be taxed at 0.5 percentage points. The tax would gradually rise until it hits 5% for companies that pay their chiefs more than 500 times a typical worker's annual pay.
The proposed tax comes amid worsening inequality in the U.S. The gap between rich and poor is at its, with the trend worsening even as the economy extends the longest expansion in the country's history, according to recent Census data. Between 1978 and 2018, CEO pay — by comparison, over that period most American workers saw their pay rise a total of 12%.
"The American people are sick and tired of corporate CEOs who now make 300 times more than their average employees, while they give themselves huge bonuses and cut back on the health care and pension benefits of their employees," Sanders said in a statement.
In 2018, CEOs earned $278 for every $1 a typical worker earned, according to a recent study from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. In 1965, top corporate chiefs earned $20 for every dollar a typical worker earned, the study found.
Tesla, Abercrombie & Fitch
The U.S. company with the biggest gap between its CEO and median employees pay is Tesla, with Elon Musk earning more than 40,000 times what its typical worker takes home in a year, according to a report released Monday by the left-leaning Institute for Policy Studies. Median worker pay at the electric car maker stands at about $56,000, while Musk took home $2.2 billion last, due largely to a lucrative stock option award.
Abercrombie & Fitch ranked second, according to IPS. CEO Fran Horowitz-Bonadies earned about 3,660 times the typical worker, the think tank found. Abercrombie is among the 14 retailers on the list, partly because of low pay in the retail sector, the report said.
Walmart, a retailer that's often at the center of the debate over worker pay, has a pay gap of 1,076 to 1, the IPS study found. Under Sanders's plan, it would have owed an additional $794 million in federal taxes in 2018. Walmart, however, is far from having the largest CEO-to-worker pay gap in the study, ranking only 46th out of the 50 companies cited by IPS.

On Saturday Matt Monday brought together some of South Carolina’s hip hop gems to join him on stage for what was rumored to be his last performance in Charleston for while. The line-up included country rap cousin to S.W.I.M, Salis, also known as Cadillac Salis. Salis gave a high energy performance with songs reminiscent of red candy paint and chili bears. OxyxMoron followed next, performing the classics from their infamous album “The Woods”, which if you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you waiting for? By the time Monday came out, the crowd was hyped and ready to go. The hometown hip hop star did not disappoint, he reminded us why he’s the best in his city. At the end of the night Sonny Digital turnt us all up, playing all of the southern anthems he produced over the years. We got to catch up with Matt after the show and dig a little more into his inspiration, vision for the local Hip Hop scene, and future plans.
1. Who is Matt Monday and when did you fall in love with your art?
Matt Monday is the second coming of the Southern Lord Soulja Slim, predecessor of Juve the Great. I fell in love with music after the first time I heard "Soulja Rags" and "Guerrilla Warfare"
2. Why the switch from Righchus to Monday?
Easier to brand, and we didn't effect to ever really take off. We just enjoyed making music.
3. Why was it so important to have this show in Charleston when you could have easily done it in Atlanta?
Charleston is home. I really want to help build the hip hop community here. Most people here have never seen Sonny , who I'm a huge fan of, so I wanted to bring something new.
4. Rumor has it this is your last Charleston show, what lead to that decision?
Several reasons. Shows in Charleston are becoming harder and harder to execute because the lack of support from the hip hop community and the owners of venues where we want to cultivate do not embrace hip hop. Also I've been performing here for years and it's time to move on. I mean how many times in a year can you see a Matt Monday show, ha!
Oh, and just in case you're wondering what a Sonny Digital looks like...

Title: The Bone Shard Daughter
Series: The Drowning Empire #1
Author: Andrea Stewart
Father told me I’m broken.
Lin knows that she is the emperor’s daughter and heir. Five years ago, a sickness took all memories of her previous life, and her father refuses to teach her his bone shard magic until she regains it. But she’s tired of waiting and afraid that Bayan, her foster brother, will take her place as the heir. She is determined to prove her worth to her father, even if that means stealing his keys to open the doors of the palace and study his magic in secret.
Meanwhile, a rebellion is stirring on the floating islands of the Empire. Jovis is a smuggler looking for his lost wife. He doesn’t want anything to do with the rebels, but an act of kindness will drag him into the heart of the Shardless Few anyway, until he is confronted with the ultimate choice: keep looking for his wife, who might as well be dead, or stay and help to overthrow the emperor.Continue reading The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart

To the Amazons of Themyscira and the people of the world, Wonder Woman is something of a miracle. Fittingly, the same can be said of her new comic as well. Spinning out of this summer’s “Rebirth,” the twice-monthly WONDER WOMAN will feature a dream creative team of writer Greg Rucka and artists Liam Sharp and Nicola Scott, three creators unexpectedly returning to the world of DC Comics after a lengthy break.
Next Monday, the eagerly awaited Gotham will make its debut. A television prequel series set in the city of Gotham right after the murder of Bruce Wayne’s parents, it tells the story of how many of Gotham’s most famous criminals came to power, ultimately requiring a hero like Batman.
All week long we’ve been celebrating The Multiversity, Grant Morrison’s new series set within the DC Multiverse. While it’s possible to enjoy the comic without being familiar with the Multiverse, it can’t hurt to at least know where the idea comes from, and some of the pre-existing comics that have close ties to The Multiversity.
However, before we even get into where the Multiverse comes from, we suppose we should first explain what it is for anyone out there who may be new to the concept.
The phrase "legendary artist" gets tossed around a lot these days. Picasso? He couldn't even draw a face properly. And what's up with those melting clocks, Dali? (Nah, just kidding, they're great). But considering the fact that J.H. Williams III has worked with some of the most renowned and influential writers in comic book history—Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka and now Neil Gaiman—the term "legendary artist" just doesn't seem like enough.

Eclectic rock star David Bowie’s costume looks more fitting at a fun, rowdy party!
This photograph of Bowie was taken in 1973; unfortunately, that’s all we know about it. 1973 was the year when Bowie retired his famous, flamboyant alter ego Ziggy Stardust through a concert held at the Hammersmith Odeon Theatre in London on July 3. Together with his band, Bowie as Ziggy performed a total of 18 songs before a massive crowd. This event is apparently dubbed by many as the “Retirement Gig.”
Anyway, here are a couple more photos of Bowie playing ping pong!
To complement “David Bowie is,” a touring retrospective exhibit organized by The Victoria and Albert Museum, London that revolves around the prolific career of David Bowie and is currently ongoing at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) in São Paulo, Brazil, the MIS as part of its Stereo MIS series of musical projects, held a David Bowie Tribute concert featuring a few of Brazil’s homegrown talents earlier this month. Letícia Godoy, a photographer for the museum and one of our Kickstarter Petzval supporters, documented the highlights of the concert with the help of the Lomography x Zenit Petzval Lens, and here is a gallery of her photos.
110 film photography can be as fun as 35mm and 120 film photography! Need a little more convincing? Take a look at these monochrome shots that play with shadows and light taken with the B&W Orca 110 film!
I like taking pictures of everyday things I find in ordinary places. Taking close-up pictures of them makes them look more interesting. A spoonful of candies or a small necklace looks more interesting and fun up close.
The awesome album you'll find after the jump is a fitting one for today's special occasion, and will perhaps make you want to look back at those precious portraits of moms around you that you've taken in the past!
Really want to bring your film photos to life? We’re now offering totally analogue fine art prints in a host of large sizes and formats! Carefully enlarged from your negatives onto premium photographic paper by lab professionals, each picture is a unique piece of craftsmanship.
Last month, Lomography Gallery Store Soho held an exhibition of photographs taken at the Nixon Surf Challenge in Russia. Free drinks and live music from Swim Mountain overflowed at the opening party. Using the Petzval lens and a star-shaped aperture plate to give a beautifully soft, dreamy effect, the folks at the Soho Gallery Store created a video of the event. Watch this video after the jump.
It's springtime in Chicago! That means more outdoor activities, and more shooting. We're ready to hop out of the winter hibernation and into sunnier seasons. We're also all looking forward to a great party to introduce the new Embassy store to our community. We've also got a bunch of brand-new items and more exciting news to share.
Barry Feinstein was a staple name in the rock n' roll photography industry during his time. His iconic photographs of music icon and legend Bob Dylan are just some of his famous images. Now, you can take a closer look at the photographer’s work and see them on prints while they are still on display in the UK.
With the summer heat setting in and the music blaring, it’s a relief no one was overwhelmed with all the heat. We’ve seen your Lomographs, now prepare your taste buds for more wine, food, music and fun at the upcoming BottleRock Nappa Valley Festival!
Summer is always thrilling and worth looking forward to. There are so many exciting things to do: trips to the seaside, chilling out with friends with beer and music, and going on surfing holidays, to name a few. To make summer even more fun is the ongoing Summer Bazaar in the Lomography Online Shop!
Lassi, one of our awesome Petzval Lens Kickstarter backers, came to visit us at Lomography HQ this week. We had a brilliant time introducing him to the Lomography team, showing him some of the Vienna sights and generally having fun. As part of the trip, we organized a special photo-shoot in which we took photos with a vintage Petzval lens on a Sinar P2 4x5 camera. Head past the jump to find out more about the great time we had with Lassi and to see some old-school Petzval shots!

AT FIRST sight the latest wheeze from the Plaid Cymru ‘think tank’ to put a tax on sugary drinks in an attempt to combat obesity appears unreasonable.
But how would they implement it or even define a sugar?
With a whole range of natural sugars plus an endless list of artificial sweeteners already in use in both domestic and commercially produced foods, I think that’s another idea consigned to the back burner.
There is already plenty of advice from the health service and the media about what and how much to eat and drink, so weight control really comes down to personal habits.
On a lighter note, my only regret is that with the warmer weather and the acres of flesh about to be exposed I didn’t invent sun cream.

The creative director Bruno Sialelli got inspirations from the past and rebuilt the present to release the Lanvin A/W 21/22 collection. The designs of womenswear and menswear revealed a contrasting yet harmonious relationship this season, just like the conversation between the two genders.
Lanvin’s blue sets a tone for the boutique and builds a space with infinite imaginations. The colors of winter are extracted to present the A/W 21/22 collection and the LANVIN SKATE collection.
A new menswear capsule was released with a theme of poem about sports. Inspired by the concept of urban adventurer, wild skateboarding elements in 1970s were added into the capsule. Classic flannel shirts and roomy pants brought a thick street atmosphere. Luxe fabrics as silk and merino wool elevated the quality. Denim jackets and jeans also brought more luxurious details.
To meet the appetite of a certain group of people, classic business wear is reinterpreted by new tailoring, fabrics, and details. Monogram slim-fit suit with fine cutting is really casual and tensive.

Mayor shows improvment
BRISTOL (AP) -- Officials say a Connecticut mayor who nearly died after choking at a party is now breathing on his own and can speak with his family and hospital workers.
Bristol Mayor Art Ward has been hospitalized since Dec. 4, when he choked on a piece of grilled steak and collapsed.
The 63-year-old was comatose for days and breathing with a respirator, but hospital officials and his friends say he started showing signs of improvement last week. He was listed in fair condition at Bristol Hospital.
Only Ward's immediate family members have been allowed to visit, though they authorized the hospital to release an update Friday about his improved condition.

Discussion in 'Other Racing Games' started by Nils Wijk, Aug 12, 2008.
I have the exact same problem. Already tried everything. If somebody found a fix please post it.
It is now possible to play F1C in DX11 using dgVoodoo 2 ( http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html ), just download dgVoodoo v2.55.4 (or whatever the latest version is) then unzip it and copy all the dll files from MS folder to F1C game root folder.
From my testing with dgVoodoo 2, the original version (without mods) can run in 1080p without any problem (good graphics overall, only very few texture problem, game runs very smooth), just use dgVoodooCpl.exe to set the game resolution.
Some mods still have CTD problem (those with standalone exe, such as CREW F1 seven mod), which I can't find a solution other than running it in win95 compatibility mode (very laggy, mostly unplayable). I have tried a solution found here ( http://forum.race4sim.com/showthread.php?tid=541 ) but provided no use to the CTD problem.
Having an identical issue on my own laptop, tried several solutions outlined around but nothing has worked. Simply tries to load very briefly and then doesn't open. Was cropping up with the 'Did this program run correctly?' message at first but switching to XP compatibility via the troubleshooter did nothing, nor did any other solution I seeked (i.e. using Compatibility Administrator). Prototype C and F1 VB mods have the same issue, and it's actually noticeable with the VB mod since when you try to load a year, it waits for a minute as it usually does but then the mod's menu just pops up again, as if you've closed the game. Anyone have any solutions for both the root game and/or either of these mods? Might just have to try a virtual machine for the game now...
Hi guys, the MACT solution if made correctly works on win7,8 or 10, maybe you have left some unnecessary/wrong compat. mode on the exe, the game can also crash bc of messed up lines in PLR file etc.
Anyway if you cant get it go this way, the best option is to use fixed multiplayer exe
http://race4sim.com/f1-challenge-99-02-multiplayer-returns-with-fix-by-pietrekk/ , just use it instead of game default exe or standalone mods exe, it should work even without the MACT solution
this game and all mods works normally usually if you use win98 mode and with admin rights.
winxp emulator is not best at in win7/8/vista/10 and may give problems
Hey guys, I've run across a very irritating bug in my game. It seems like the LCD is broken. The active LCD rectangle is off the the left of the actual screen space, and when I cycle through the LCD Modes it just keeps stacking itself upon the previous one, making it very difficult to see. Does anyone have a clue of what might be causing this bug or where in the files I should have a look at? I've tried reinstalling it and everything.
EDIT: It seems like I managed to fix it. I reinstalled it (again) but used a different serial number. I was using the one generated by a program with my download file, when in fact I had to use the one provided in the txt file. I hope talking about pirating a game that's not available for purchase isn't against the rules.
I have the same problem as @lodiped , could you drop me a link to your version of the game please? I can't fix the LCD in mine.
@lodiped @Haky13hun Guys we have F1 Challenge 99-02 community on discord, yours issue comes probably from using 16bit ind 3D Confing or old exe, we have fixes for this, we even drive in multiplayer mode without any problems on every Windows, join us - https://discord.gg/6BGj9HE

other levels remain closed for repairs and cleaning, allow extra time to find parking.
Rainwater inundates the temporary access track at Tyalgum Road at the height of the deluge on Tuesday 16 January. The deluge triggered the closure of the automatic gates on either end of the track.
The automatic gates on either side of the temporary track at the extreme landslip on Tyalgum Road were shut overnight, following heavy rainfall in the area.
The decision to close the gates was triggered after more than 50 mm of rainfall per day was recorded at the slip across 2 consecutive days. This is one of several triggers that require the road to be closed until the slip can be properly assessed by a geotechnical engineer.
Council and its contractor SEE Civil Pty Ltd agreed to close the gates at approximately 6.30 pm last night to ensure the safety of motorists and allow for closer monitoring of the site.
The gates were re-opened this morning at 7.30 am following a safety inspection by geotechnical engineers.
A similar process occurred earlier this month following the deluge on New Year’s Day.
Prior to October 2023, Tyalgum Road was completely shut to motorists for almost 20 months due to an extreme landslip which occurred during the February-March 2022 flood. A temporary access track was opened last October, providing single-lane access to motorists under traffic light direction, offering temporary relief while repairs on a more permanent fix for the road are undertaken.
Council’s Manager Infrastructure Delivery Tim Mackney said the decision to close the gates was in keeping with agreed conditions of the project contract and geotechnical modelling.
“Safety is our number one priority when it comes to the opening of Tyalgum Road,” Mr Mackney said.
“When we opened the temporary track in October last year, we explained then that access was dependent upon certain conditions continuing to be met.
“Our instrumentation on site monitors rainfall and ground movements in the area. If the predetermined trigger points are reached, we are obligated to shut the gates until a full safety assessment can be completed by our geotechnical specialists.
“We appreciate this is difficult for local residents but the alternative would have been to keep the road closed until permanent repairs are completed in 2025. By monitoring the site, and temporarily closing the road, we are doing everything we can to provide safe passage to motorists until the permanent repair can be completed.”
Mr Mackney said an act of vandalism undertaken by a motorist at the gates overnight had been captured by CCTV and would be forwarded to NSW Police for action.
“The gates are in place to protect motorists. Damaging the gates puts that driver, subsequent motorists and operations staff at risk,” he said.
Council will advise the community via its various communication channels of any imminent change/s or the need to temporarily close the access road should a concern arise again in the future.
Keep up to date with Council's flood restoration works at tweed.nsw.gov.au/flood-restoration-works.
The road in better shape the following day (today) after the rain let up, allowing safety inspections to take place before reopening.

President Kessai Note in his address for the 28th Constitution Day celebration, said the people of the Marshalls should be able to have a referendum on the Constitution, according to the President's Office website:
"Promoting more information disclosure by the public service, rather than secrecy which may allow corruption to be hidden" - from Nitijela UN Workshop Outcomes Statement, Feb. 17, 2011
People have strongly emphasized that they want our leaders to make some changes to our constitution and it is more than prudent that our leaders grant them their wish.
Why wouldn't it be the right time when the surveys that were done strongly points out that the people want it. There is no conspiracy Mr. President, why the doubt?
We are indeed a peaceful people and 28 or so years ago we voted to break away from the TT. We wanted to have our own government and to become a sovereign people or nation, but most importantly we wanted democracy. The democracy that we have today is the kind that condemns people when they critcize the government and elected leaders (COC condemnation hearing). "Freedom of Speech is limited," they said. Past and recent government action have revealed the leaders are quite the contradiction to the principles they fervently preach but do not practice: Accountability, Transparency, Good Governance. We lost more than a million dollar thru an unauthorized investment transaction, nothing was done. When there are discussions within the Nitijela that clearly shows things that the government is doing wrong, the majority of party affiliated members turn off the live feed being aired via the radio station so figures out what's what is going on. And people have risen up many times to speak against and to stop the government's intention to establish a floating dry dock facility, and yet the issue keeps resurfacing just when the people thought they had defeated it.
We've told the international community that we are a peace loving people and we want peace for all, yet some of our votes in the UN contradict what we maintain...Most especially when we voted in favor of the Israel government's endeavor to put up enclosed certain part of that country with a giant barricading wall. That vote did not promote peace it add fuel and entensifies the hatred and fight between Israel and the Palestinians. The Majority of US general assembly voted agaist it. RMI and 1 or 2 other countries voted for it.
