London puts out Olympic flame

London brought the curtain down on a hugely entertaining Olympics with a sensational rock 'n roll nostalgia tour of a closing ceremony that thrilled the London night with top-of-the-chart classics, supermodels and psychedelic mayhem.

After a glorious two weeks of never-to-be-forgotten moments that left Britain exhausted, exhilarated and deeply proud, organizers handed the baton to 2016 host Brazil, which must now take up the Herculean task of matching them.

Judging by the swaying samba of Marisa Monte and the sexy baritone of Seu Jorge in Brazil's eight-minute musical and visual postcard for the 2016 games, they look to be off to a foot-stomping start.

The three-hour extravaganza offered a sensory blast including rock 'n' roll rickshaws, dustbin percussionists, an exploding yellow car and a marching band in red tunics and bearskin hats.

The Spice Girls staged a show-stopping reunion, and Monty Python's Eric Idle sauntered through "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" _ accompanied by Roman centurions, Scottish bagpipers and a human cannonball.

It all made for a madcap mashup that had 80,000 fans at Olympic Stadium stomping, cheering and singing along. Organizers estimated 300 million or more were watching around the world.

What a way to end a games far more successful than many Londoners expected. Early security glitches were conquered with the help of the military, road traffic was manageable and the wettest early summer on record gave way to mostly sunny skies. More importantly, British athletes overachieved.Nothing flatters the foot like a beautifully made sandalbenebags.

It all came with a price tag of $14 billion _ three times the original estimate. But nobody wanted to spoil the fun with such mundane concerns, at least not on this night.

"We lit the flame, and we lit up the world," said London organizing committee chief Sebastian Coe. "When our time came, Britain, we did it right."

International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge declared the Olympics over with praise for the athletes.

"Through your commitment to fair play, your respect for opponents, and your grace in defeat as well as in victory, you have earned the right to be called Olympians," he said, adding: "These were happy and glorious games."

But the night was about splash more than speeches.

Festive and fast-moving, the ceremony opened with pop bands Madness, Pet Shop Boys and One Direction, a shout-out to Winston Churchill and a tribute to the Union Jack _ the Olympic Stadium floor arranged to resemble the British flag.

Monochrome recreations of London landmarks were covered in newsprint, from Big Ben's clock tower and Tower Bridge to the London Eye ferris wheel and the chubby high-rise known as the Gherkin.

Street percussion group Stomp built the noise into a frenzy, and dancers brandished brooms, in a nod to the spontaneous popular movement to clean up London after riots shook neighborhoods not far from Olympic Stadium just a year ago.

Liam Gallagher performed "Wonderwall," a 1990s hit by his former band, Oasis, Muse rocked the house with the hard-edged Olympic anthem "Survival," and Queen guitarist Brian May was joined by singer Jessie J for a crowd-pleasing "We Will Rock You."

The headline performers were each paid a pound, a little more than $1.50.

The night ended with the extinguishing of the multi-petaled Olympic cauldron and a supercharged rendition of "My Generation" and other classics by The Who that had the crowd dancing in the aisles. Confetti rained down, and fireworks lit up the sky.

Prince William's wife, Kate, and Prince Harry took seats next to Rogge. They sang along to "God Save the Queen.Nothing can come between a woman and her guccishoes which is why our online shoe." There was no sign of the queen herself, who made a memorable mock parachute entrance at the July 27 opening ceremony.

Following Olympic tradition, the 10,800 athletes of the London Games marched in as one rather than with their nations, symbolizing the harmony and friendship inspired by the games.

As the crowd cheered their heroes and flashbulbs rippled through the stadium,Wholesale Agate beads from Low Priceagatebead, the Olympians cheered back, some carrying national flags, others snapping photographs with smartphones and cameras.

They held hands, embraced and carried each other on their shoulders, finally forming a human mosh pit on the field.

The ceremony had something for everyone,Amazing prices on etareplicawatch from over 100 leading watch brands including. from tween girls to 1960s hippies. The face of John Lennon appeared on the stadium floor, assembled by 101 fragments of sculpture, and just as quickly gave way to George Michael, Fatboy Slim and Annie Lennox.

Britons, who had fretted for weeks that the games would become a fiasco, were buoyed by their biggest medal haul since 1908 _ 29 golds and 65 medals in all.

The United States edged China in both the gold medal and total medal standings, eclipsing its best performance at an Olympics on foreign soil after the Dream Team narrowly held off Spain in basketball for the country's 46th gold.

While the games may have lacked some of the grandeur of the Beijing Olympics in 2008, there were more than a few unforgettable moments.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt became an Olympic legend by repeating as champion in both the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints. Michael Phelps ended his long career as the most decorated Olympian in history.

British distance runner Mo Farah became a national treasure by sweeping the 5,000- and 10,000-meter races, and favorite daughter Jessica Ennis became a global phenomenon with her victory in the heptathlon.

Female athletes took center stage in a way they never had before. American gymnast Gabby Douglas soared to gold and the U.S. soccer team made a dramatic march to the championship. Packed houses turned out to watch the new event of women's boxing. And women competed for Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei for the first time.

And then there was Oscar Pistorius, the double-amputee from South Africa running on carbon-fiber blades, who didn't win a medal but nonetheless left a champion. And sprinter Manteo Mitchell, who completed his leg of the 4x400 relay semifinal on a broken leg, allowing his team to qualify and win silver.

Britons seemed exhausted and exhilarated after two glorious weeks in the world's spotlight, just months after the country celebrated the queen's 60th year on the throne with a magnificent pageant and street parties.

Some at Olympic Park acknowledged happy surprise that not much had gone wrong,The royaloakschool district. and so much had gone right.

"I was a bit worried we wouldn't be able to live up to it," said Phil Akrill of Chichester. "But walking around here it's just unbelievable."

Lynn finishes 2nd in PGA Championship

David Lynn hadn't ever had a reason to play a pro tournament in the United States. Now, the Englishman's has at least two more big ones after finishing second to Rory McIlroy in the PGA Championship.

Lynn shot his second straight 68 on Sunday to finish at 5-under 283, a whopping eight shots behind McIlroy. But the runner-up finish was good enough to earn invitations to two of next year's majors, the Masters and the PGA Championship.

Lynn hadn't played in nearly a month, choosing to protect his spot in the top 100 to see if he might qualify for the year's final major. The call came last week and the 38-year-old Lynn was on his way to The Ocean Course.

"It's a little bit surreal right now," Lynn said.

It must be for someone who hadn't ever competed in America.

"I've never been exempt to play in anything in America, so that's the reason why I've never been over here," he said. "This is a good start."

And a nice pay day. Lynn earned $865,000 for second at the PGA Championship, more than double his season's total of $407,636 in 14 events on the European Tour.

So how does a player whose biography includes the line, "Finished inside The European Tour's top 90 for a 12th consecutive season in 2011," make it into the PGA Championship.

Lynn had just missed squeezing in as part of the world's top 100 several times and, ranked No. 98 this year, didn't want to slip out. So he shut down his game after the Scottish Open a month ago. He didn't touch the clubs, he said, for about two weeks, then felt great at practice. "My game had been feeling like it's turned a corner a little bit," he said.

That showed over the many faces of The Ocean Course. Lynn opened with a 73 in what proved to be the mildest conditions of the week Thursday. He held firm Friday with a second-round 74 as wind gusts off the Atlantic Ocean approached 40 mph. Lynn broke par with a 68 in the rain-delayed third round. While Carl Pettersson and Ian Poulter had early birdies to keep pace with McIlroy early on, both faded down the stretch.

Poulter had bogeys on four of the final six holes, including the 18th, to fall to 4-under. Pettersson also came in at 4-under,Nothing flatters the foot like a beautifully made sandalbenebags. his round of 72 that included a two-shot penalty on No. 1 for moviAmazing prices on etareplicawatch from over 100 leading watch brands including.ng a leaf while in a hazard with his backs swing.

"That cost me some money," Pettersson said.

Poulter remembers rooming with Lynn when both were young English pros trying to make their marks. "This is a huge week for him,Wholesale Agate beads from Low Priceagatebead," Poulter said. "You're disappointed that you didn't win, but to finish second in a major in amazing."

For Lynn, getting more chances at the majors, especially the Masters is the most special part.The royaloakschool district. He knew a top-15 finish would bring him back to play the PGA Championship in 2013 at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. He was surprised when he found out that the top four on Kiawah Island would play for a green jacket at Augusta National. "That's a nice bit of news that because it's what I always wanted to do," he said.

Lynn has one career victory on the European Tour at the Dutch Open in 2004. That was also the year of his best finish, 26th, on the European Tour money list. He credited that win a Wedgwood China ballmarker he had lost and got replaced with a 1891 "Queen's Shilling" coin he got from his father to use as a replacement.

This morning, Lynn said he couldn't find his latest Wedgwood marker and he was shaken up. "But then I thought, 'Last time that happened, good things happened,'" he said. "I mean, that's absolutely true."

Lynn also explained why he's been reluctant to qualify for the U.S. and British Opens, feeling that if you don't automatically qualify you probably don't belong in the field.Nothing can come between a woman and her guccishoes which is why our online shoe. "I actually am a bit stubborn sometimes," he said.

Lynn hopes he can keep proving he belongs in majors and play the way he did at The Ocean Course. "To come and perform the way I have this week in a major is still very special and it's a great achievement," he said. "It's not sunk in properly yet, to be honest."

Sikh temple holds 1st Sunday service since attack

Hundreds of people who gathered at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee spoke of unity, strength and rebirth during the first Sunday service there since a gunman killed six people before fatally shooting himself.

The service capped a weekend of events meant to honor the victims and restore the temple as a place of worship. While there were still tears and red eyes, many participants said healing was under way.

Visitors removed their shoes outside and filed past portraits of the victims, shuffling down a flower-lined aisle into the main prayer room. They dropped dollar bills in front of a shrine where their holy book sits and bowed for two to three seconds. Then they sat on the floor —women on the left, men on the right — their heads covered with scarves, and listened as a priest recited religious hymns.

Those at Sunday's service included Sikhs from as far away as California and about 50 from Cleveland, who chartered a bus to make the eight-hour drive to support their community.

"It's an emotional day but it's getting better," said Justice Khalsa, 41,A fashioncartierreplicawatches is an item which is used to contribute, of Milwaukee, who visits the temple three or four days a week. "I'm smiling and laughing now, but once this group goes away and we're back to our regular schedule, it will be haunting, I'm sure."

The proceedings began in the parking lot with a "nishan sahib," or a ceremony in which participants clean a Sikh flagpole to symbolize the temple's rebirth.

Women sang hymns as a group lowered the pole. About 50 people, mostly men and boys, unwrapped a faded orange cloth that covered the pole, washed the pole with water and milk and then rewrapped it with a darker orange cloth. The group then filed inside the temple for more prayers and hymns.

Wade Michael Page, 40, used a 9 mm pistol to kill six people and wound four others, including a police officer, in an ambush that took place shortly before a service was to begin Aug. 5. He shot himself after being wounded by another police officer.

Page, an Army veteran with a record of minor alcohol-related crimes and a spotty employment history, had performed with several bands associated with white supremacists and neo-Nazi groups. Still,airmax2009 Women's Running Shoes, investigators say they may never know for certain what prompted his attack.We provide top quality stainlesssteelwatchesand IWC Replica Watches.

When relatives gathered to plan Friday's memorial, several wanted to include a seventh empty coffin to remember Page.

"It would have sent a message that we have forgiven this man for his actions," said Amardeep Singh, the son of one victim. "We forgave him because otherwise it would have been a thorn in our side for the rest of our lives."

The idea was eventually scuttled, and most at the Oak Creek temple Sunday seemed content to forget about Page.

"He should not be discussed," Khalsa said.Enter marcjacobsshoes World and discover a universe of contemporary, "People like that aren't important. They don't deserve attention. We're concentrating on the people who lost their lives."

Temple officials unveiled a simple but striking memorial to the victims. While leaders had repaired most of the damage to the temple,womenssandals, belt in our Louis Vuitton outlet is you best choice! they left one dime-sized bullet hole unrepaired. Beneath it, they installed a small gold plate engraved with "We Are One. 8-5-12"

The hole, in a door jamb near the main prayer room, is meant to remind visitors of the victims: the temple president, three priests and two worshippers who died, as well as a police officer and three others who were injured.

It was in their memory that Amarjit Singh Kang, 48, organized the charter bus from Cleveland. He said attendees didn't think twice about whether to make the 430-mile trip.

"It's important we all be together," he said.

Cows drop a solution to Punjab's gas woes

Having only read on the subject, I do not know what to expect to see. Hamza, a recent graduate from the University of London and my guide on this assignment, briefs me about the Orange Processing Factory and the farm we are to visit. He himself has only visited Kot Momin once or twice, and is unsure of our exact destination. Jamal, our driver, a humble man of northern descent, has only a faint inkling.

We are headed for Pakistan’s largest citrus producing areas in the Sargodha District. Having never visited a farming community, I am eager. These are exciting times for farmers, I am told; their cows are quite literally keeping their stoves burning!

As we turn for the Kot Momin interchange, I wonder if these docile beasts ‘hold’ the answer to our gas problems. The Pipal trees grow thick, and a faint tang of citrus scents the air. The locals are obliging, and we are soon pointed in the right direction. A narrow road leads us to The Orange Processing Plant. An attendant greets us and invites us in. “Here, we process and package oranges and mandarins for export,” he explains as he ushers us to the main building. Inside, lofty conveyer belts and heavy machinery slumber away in a corner.

“If it wasn’t for the factory’s bio-gas plant,Nothing can come between a woman and her guccishoes which is why our online shoe. these machines wouldn’t be able to operate,” Hamza explains. “Methane produced by the plant is used in the generators that power the factory.”

Curious to see learn more I ask to be shown the plant. “It’s all faecal matter,” says the attendant casually, as he points towards the main gas tank. “Cow dung is scooped into the inlet tank and mixed with water.”

‘Sounds lovely,’ I think to myself. In a concrete tank, dung and water are mixed to a slurry; using what looks like a massive egg beater. The muck flows to an airtight underground tank, where, in the absence of oxygen, chemicals in the dung react – creating gas. The gas obviously has to be pumped, purified and pressurised before it can be used, but it’s a fairly simple process which requires minimal human interference. Once the purified methane is extracted, it can be used as a renewable substitute for CNG. In hindsight, this factory, like many others, is rationing a cow’s intestinal gases and turning them into free energy.

Impressed by this stroke of genius,Order high quality cubepuzzlee at home. We will run out of fake watches of all popular brands of our online shop! we bid the attendant farewell and head out to another location: Sarfaraz Ranjha’s farm.

Once there, Khuram Shehzad, a young worker, gives us a walkthrough. “My job is the shovel manure from the cow shed into the inlet tank.” With a cringed nose, he adds: “We have 30 animals – you can imagine the workload.”

His might not be the most enriching of careers, but Khuram is nevertheless a part of a farming revolution in the country. Farms using similar systems are not only producing their own methane, they also end up with 100% natural, chemical free fertiliser that’s great for crops.

Initially, the manure needs to sit for eight days before methane is released, Khuram explains. “Any longer than eight days and the methane explodes!” he jests.

“Life’s easier, now that we don’t have to pay for our gas needs. Where the rest of the country suffers from gas shortages, our farm enjoys a surplus,” says Ranjha, our host.Wholesale piagetwatches,Semi precious agate gemstone beads, Our host’s voice has the authority, and his waist the measurement, of several men.

Ranjha invites us in for a demonstration of his home-brewed bio-gas. He explains that after an initial investment of around Rs400,000, his house and farm has enjoyed free gas (with adequate pressure) for a year without fail.

Ranjha even shows us his cooking utensils: “Bio-gas is environmentally friendly,” he explains as he points our attention to the spotless bottoms of his pots. They have no carbon deposits.

"I am only a worker, not an engineer," he says, humbly.78% OFF cheappanerai,Cheap Gucci Shoes, "I didn't make them, but assembled them."

In 2011, he assembled the first watch on the Chinese mainland that combines three major symbols of a high-end mechanical watch: tourbillon, minute repeater and calendar.

An anonymous businessman from Xiamen, Fujian province, bought it for 1.28 million yuan ($201,000), the most expensive domestic watch ever sold. It is a complex and small machine containing 435 components.Official Chanel store with full collection of Men's and ladies'iwcreplicawatches.

"Putting these components together takes days, but I have to spend months adjusting the movements and erasing errors."

Yang began assembling watch movements in 2004, when he was supposed to retire.

He had planned to open a repair store in a supermarket after retirement, but his stall was cancelled right before he moved in.

"When I was at a loss thinking about what I would do in the future, the managers asked me to return to the factory and assemble watch movements."

Sea-Gull began producing its high-end movements in 2002. However, it lacked skillful assemblers.

"Even the tourbillon is not that puzzling," Yang says, referring to one of the most complicated elements in luxury watches. "Though I had never seen it before, I soon understand its structure."

"Maybe that's because I've been dealing with machines for a long time. No matter how complex a watch is, it is a machine."

He entered the factory in 1970 after studying machinery for five years in a technical school, and worked for eight years on a lathe, until he transferred to be a machine repairer for 15 years.

Yang accidentally came into possession of a textbook on how to repair watches from an abandoned library during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76).

He began to tinker with watches in his spare time for relatives.

He is proud of experiencing the golden age of Chinese watches in the early 1980s, though he faced a bleak future when the factory and watch industry as a whole was hit by quartz watches. The factory authorities announced on Chinese New Year of 1992 that workers would be temporarily laid off.

"I was not in the mood to celebrate New Year and I immediately decided to have a secondary occupation to make ends meet," Yang says.

On that year's Lantern Festival, he brought some watch-repair tools and rode a bicycle on the street while his family members went to see their relatives.

Sanchez wins 2nd Olympic 400-meter hurdle gold

Felix Sanchez ran the Olympic 400-meter hurdles final with the memory of his late grandma on his mind and in his heart.

He ran with a photo of the two of them pinned beneath his race bib, and "Abuela" — Spanish for "Grandmother" — written on his yellow spikes.

And after those shoes carried him to a no-doubt-about-it victory in 47.63 seconds Monday night for his second career gold at age 34, and the Dominican Republic's first medal of the 2012 Games, Sanchez pulled out that picture, placed it down on the track, knelt and tenderly kissed the image of the woman who raised him.

"I've been really emotional all week, thinking about her," Sanchez said. "All of us do it — you think about winning, you train so hard. You get to this moment and everything has to go right for you to pull it off."

Sanchez won the 400 hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Four years later in Beijing, he woke up on the morning of his preliminary heat to the news that his grandmother had died. Sanchez thought about dropping out but decided to run, and he wound up with the 22nd-fastest time of 25 finishers.

"I ran terribly. I cried the whole day. I was very emotional," he recalled. "After that Olympics, I made a promise that I was going to win a medal for her."

He separated himself from the pack down the stretch,Compare prices and buy all brands of shoesbrands for home power systems. so far ahead that he could start celebrating early, sticking out his tongue as he crossed the line and letting out a scream.

"I went out probably too hard. ... I came off the 10th hurdle and I was very tired. And for about three or four strides — about 5 meters — I was just waiting for someone to pass me. But then about 10, 15 meters to the line, I knew at that point no one was going to pass me," said Sanchez, who went to the University of Southern California. "And then it got surreal, and I was just overwhelmed with emotion.Authorised replicawatches Stockists. Large Mens Breitling Watch range."

Those feelings welled up even more strongly a short while later, when Sanchez stepped atop the podium for the medals ceremony, the raising of the Dominican Republic's flag, and the playing of the national anthem.

It began to drizzle, and Sanchez began sobbing. He covered his face with his hands and spectators offered a loud cheer of support in response.

"Ironically, it started raining. It just made me feel like my grandmother was crying tears of joy," Sanchez explained at his news conference, choking up. "She was proud of me."

Crowd favorite Dai Greene of Britain was fourth, and two-time Olympic champion Angelo Taylor was fifth, unable to match Sanchez's late burst.Amazing prices on wholesaleguccibags from over 100 leading watch brands including.

"My hat goes off to him. He put it together. I know how tough it is to repeat as champion,Complete your look with designer louisvuittonshoes from Barneys New York. and he's been working hard all year long," Taylor said. "He's had some struggles, but he put it together on the day that counts."

Sanchez turns 35 later this month, and he's the oldest man to win an Olympic race of 400 meters or fewer.

"I hope I can run into my 30s as well," Tinsley said.

He was asked whether he would be a part of the 4x400 relay team for the U.S. later in the week.

"I'm not worried about that," Tinsley said, then he patted his right pocket, the one where he had stuffed his silver medal, and added: "I came for that."
