Third, the Quinceanera scene is reminiscent of the New Year's Eve party at the Presidente's mansion where Michael kisses Fredo and tells him he knew it was him.
The movie comes up in discussion.

This Jan.1, Colorado Parks and Wildlife invites all Coloradans to welcome 2019 by heading outside to enjoy the trails in a Colorado State Park. First Day Hikes offer a chance to start the new year right by getting people out for some exercise in nature. At least 25 state parks are participating by hosting an organized hike. Each park offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the new year, with most parks offering guided hikes and some parks providing multiple options to choose from, allowing you to select the time and route you prefer.
"Getting outside is the best way to bring in a new year and Colorado state parks showcase all the best things about the outdoors," said Crystal Dreiling, park manager at Trinidad Lake State Park, one of the participating parks. "We are thrilled to have seen this event continue to grow since we started the program in 2012."
Many parks are also offering refreshments and free giveaways for this event, such as mugs and pens, thanks to a grant provided by the Colorado Parks Foundation.
The hikes are free but park visitors must possess a valid parks pass to participate. The daily pass for entry to most parks costs $8 per vehicle; annual passes are available for $80. (Prices reflect 2019 Fee changes).
It is up to the individual park regarding reservations or RSVP. Please check each park's event details.
All First Day Hikes will vary in ability levels and length depending on location and weather conditions. Bring snacks and water, dress in layers and be prepared with traction and/or trekking poles for winter hiking in snow or on icy trails; if there is snow, consider bringing snowshoes. We hope to see you kicking off 2019 by enjoying a First Day Hike with us!

The digital age has all but eliminated an important ritual.
The sharing of memories and family history through photographs.
Recently my Mom and I sat down over pictures from my childhood that were thought lost forever. Pictures she had not seen for 40 years, and pictures I had never seen.
Print your favorite memories. Don't keep them locked away on hard drives that no one will ever access. Make photo albums so your family, children and grandchildren will have those important tangible memories of you.

What drives you to get involved in your community? Not only do we love being a part of projects that benefit Las Vegas and the youth, but team LED is driven to volunteer for a variety of reasons. We interviewed our team on why we're each thrilled to be involved with the Las Vegas Showcase House and where that passion stems from.
LVSH Groundbreaking
Earlier this month, our entire team attended the groundbreaking of the Las Vegas Showcase House benefiting the Core Academy. It was so exciting to walk through the house and imagine what it will begin to transform into starting NOW! As a design team, it was also a privilege to interact with visitors who stopped by to see our plans for the master bedroom and master bath in Las Vegas' historic Scotch 80s area.
Mentorship Matters
All of us at team Lisa Escobar Design are so thrilled to be part of the Las Vegas Showcase House project!
To us, it's not only about design but also about mentorship and community, which are a big part of what drives us.
10 Types of Gifts to Give
Now that Cyber Monday is over and Black Friday is long gone, Team LED wants to help you out with a few gifts you might be missing. So we surveyed our crew and gathered presents that are perfect for a few types of people in our lives.

Dearest ______,
I don't know what it is about zoos, amusement parks, musicals, etc. that brings you back to a nearly lost world of childhood awe and wonder. It's amazing, really. One minute you're going : "Hey we better hurry if we want to catch the free shuttle bus service!"
The next thing you know, you're gushing:
"Aminals! Aminals evweewhere!"
Our friends Halfray and Panda treated us to the Singapore River Safari experience last Saturday. A morning of being kids again, it was!
If you've never been there yourself- SPOILER ALERT– here are some of the most curious creatures we saw while we were there:
There were fish that looked like its mommies had babies with a crocodile. These were called Ikan Buaya, which in Bahasa directly translates to "Fish Crocodile".
There were real Buaya too though, big ones at that. And they had these masses on top of their snouts.
Huge fishes swam freely among sting rays and eels.
Snakes were there too, viewed with some quiet shuddering. They even housed a real Anaconda (not pictured) inside their "Amazon River" area.
We were quite amazed by how quick the river otters Carlos and Carmen moved. They swam and dove off the floating rafts like the most graceful athletes.
There were paper- thin fish (a relative of the eel) that swam upright and had these gorgeous flapping fins along its length, waving like a girl's ball gown as they moved.
The surprising revelation was how gorgeous Piranhas were. Their scales were dotted with specks of gold.
Manatees were probably the highlight of the aquatic creatures. Gliding regally in one of the biggest aquariums I've ever seen, they were a sight to behold.
I was kind of fascinated by these fashionable- looking flowers. Neon on neon, haha!
And what's a Kids' Day Out without some fruity Popsicles, right?
Right before seeing River Safari's biggest stars, we got a taste of their impending cuteness by way of some Red Pandas hanging around. At which point, we started pointing out how "Master Shifu" from the Kung Fu Panda movies is actually named redundantly. Sifu directly translates to "master- father, or teacher" in the Chinese language.
If there's anyone more fixated about Pandas than, say, Pandas themselves, that would be our friend Maan. We've taken to calling her Panda sometimes because of this very reason. Imagine how excited she was at the prospect of seeing them for real-

It has been a while BUT, I am back to posting some reviews that I have had queued up and nothing better to start with an a good old bag review.
Now after having this bag for just over one year and getting compliments daily, I can say its been the best overall bag I have ever owned.
To start off
Billingham has been making bags in Britain since 1973 for photographers and others alike. The bags are extremely well crafted and are made from some great materials. The brown trim is made from leather, and has aged nicely over the year i have had this bag, and the hardware on the buckles and such is brass and again it ages well. As far as the material of this bag is made of canvas that is water resistant. With it being canvas it will age and wear very nicely depending on how you wear the bag and how ofter you use it. One of the man reasons for getting this bag is I need something on a daily basis that I could carry some cameras and what ever else with me with out it looking ugly or screaming "I have expensive stuff in me". Billingham really combines functionality and looks in to one. What I really liked about this bag is that it had no zippers or velcro to open the bag because to me that would inconvenient and a bit noisy, and we all know velcro isn't cool. The bag has a camera insert that comes out so you can use it as a messenger bag. Also you can adjust the camera insert to different sizes with inserts and really organize your gear. The straps are adjustable depending on what you put in there and there is a zipper pocket on the back that could fit an iPad or small book. The Hadley Pro is capable of holding a 13" laptop as well.
I have pretty much used this bag everyday for a year wether it was for my photography gear or my bag for college, it did it all. Now I would always have a camera or two in there when i was going to class and what not even if i didn't have a photography class. This bag has been on my shoulder or back through extreme down pouring rain with cameras and important notebooks and other things that can't get wet an not a drop has soaked though this bag. To give context i was in Boston and had to walk to the T stop and my pants shoes and part of my rain coat where soaked though but the bag was dry as the dessert inside and the rain just beads off. It also has a rain guard that covers the camera area but i have it tucked away.
Now you do get a lot out of this bag and it sure is tough, but with that being said it isn't cheap, around $260 USD you can pick one up in all black or black and brown like this one or for more you can get limited edition ones. So this bag isn't really for everyone but you are paying for looks style and quality and you can't beat something that is made pretty damn well. This will be me everyday bag unless I ever get my hands on one of ONA's bags. You can get a ton of Billinghams bags on B&H or directly though them. Is this the best bag ever made?! And to that I say no, but it is the best bag for me.

You don't just need a home loan, you need the right home loan for your situation and requirements – and that's called responsible lending. But these days, many people are trying the 'do it yourself' approach - or trying to save money by logging on to one of the new comparison websites or services.
Firstly, 'DIY' is only feasible if you have an extremely good grasp of the mortgage market. And even if you have done some homework, it is not a good idea when it comes to loan applications. A loan could be the biggest financial commitment you ever make, so it's crucial to clear all the hurdles and get it right.
Responsible Lending
Those lending money must comply with responsible lending conduct obligations, ensuring that any proposed credit contract is not "unsuitable" for the consumer.
ASIC stipulates that credit representatives, are responsible for lending obligations including;
- make reasonable inquiries about the consumer's financial situation, and their requirements and objectives;
- take reasonable steps to verify the consumer's financial situation; and
- make a preliminary assessment (if you are providing credit assistance) or final assessment (if you are the credit provider) about whether the credit contract is 'not unsuitable' for the consumer (based on the inquiries and information obtained in the first two steps).
But it's also necessary to be responsible on your own behalf. Getting on the phone with a bank without shopping around would be like walking into a used car yard and asking the salesman 'is this the best car on the market'? You wouldn't necessarily get an entirely honest answer, or a friendly recommendation to try the car yard down the road.
So it makes sense to do some 'shopping around', perhaps by going to one of the comparison websites or services that compare interest rates - because surely getting the best possible deal on rates is the most important factor when it comes to loans? Not necessarily.
Loans are complicated
Loans are much more complicated than just the rate of interest, and the comparison sites don't take into account many of the other crucial factors that will affect you as you pay it back. The comparison sites, remember, are mainly just automated services - they're not human beings you sit down with face-to-face. For that reason, many lenders are sceptical of those who have applied for a loan using the 'DIY', or loan comparison service, route.
That's why going to a mortgage broker like Mint Equity is the best choice. A broker has a direct line to a vast and quality range of home loan products, having established relationships with lenders over a period of years. And it will not just be the four major banks, but multiple regional and second-tier lenders that you did not know even existed that could be just the right fit for you.
Knowledge and service
It is not just this direct line to lenders that will help you, but the broker's knowledge and service. They will often work after hours for you, chase up your applications and solve administrative problems. And they will also ensure not only that you are able to afford the loan, but whether it's right for you. A Preliminary Assessment will document and check not just your financial and personal situation, but match your loan with your precise requirements and objectives.
But you'll have to pay for all this personal service, right? Again, not necessarily.
While DIY or the 'click and flick' services may entice you because of the lower cost, many brokers - like Mint Equity - actually provide a free service.
And even in the case of alternative options that might give you an attractive instant cash-backs or a discounted rate today, going to a mortgage broker will probably save you money in the longer term. Because they deeply understand the range of loans on the market, they can tailor a solution that is not just attractive on paper, but is just right for you now and into the future. They also have access to the cash-backs and discounted rates that the lenders provide.
Thousands in savings
Over years, the benefit of a broker who negotiated the best deal for you, including hidden savings like fee and penalty waivers, might save you thousands more than if you had gone it alone.
Remember, it's not just the interest rate itself that matters, but the impact of market trends, whether the loan should be fixed, variable or split, whether it makes efficient use of offset accounts, and a myriad of other factors that only a mortgage broker fully knows and understands.
Not just that, a broker will be able to tell if a borrower's ambitious loan plans are actually realistic, responsible and in sync with their actual best interests and lifestyle plans.

Heart Opening Flow #1Jackie Casal
Categories: Yoga
- Audio Workout
Video Fitness reviews may not be copied, quoted, or posted elsewhere without the permission of the reviewer
Show oldest reviews first
Im reviewing this workout after doing it once.
General workout breakdown: This 24-min. yoga MP3 flows through several vinyasas, with an emphasis on stretching across the chest and opening the heart both in the usual flow poses as well as a few backbends. It begins in childs pose before moving through these postures: down dog, twist (in standing forward bend), half lift, standing forward bend, tadasana, standing back bend, high plank, chaturanga, up dog, 1-legged down dog, warrior 1, humble warrior, warrior 2, extended side angle (with optional half or full bind or with arms open), triangle, prasarita (or standing forward bend with hands clasped behind back), boat, reverse table top, knees to chest, camel (prep or full variation), sit on heels, spinal twist (reclined, with one knee bent), and savasana; the practice ends after rolling through supported fetal pose in a simple seated position for a final bow. The pace isnt too fast but isnt too slow (I had sufficient time to modify the chaturangas, for example); I never felt rushed, although if youre looking for long holds, especially in savasana, youre a little out of luck here.
Level: Yogadownload rates this as Level 3-4, or what they consider intermediate to advanced intermediate. Id say this would be accessible to someone with a good amount of yoga experience under his/her belt, enough so that an audio-only practice isnt something frightening. If youre familiar with the poses listed above and have a decent amount of strength and flexibility youll be just fine. Although Ive been doing yoga for something like 6 years now, Im not practicing fully intermediate poses like wheel, headstand, etc., or advanced ones like forearm balances, and I found this worked well for me.
Music: atmospheric. Its sparse and in the background, not at all intrusive or obnoxious or anything like that.
Production: clear sound, no extraneous noise.
Equipment: yoga sticky mat (or equivalent).
Space Requirements: enough room to lie down with hands and legs extended.
MP3 Notes: This MP3, available at yogadownload.com, comes with an Adobe Acrobat file showing you the poses. There are also 30 min., 45 min., and 60 min. versions of this practice available.
There are no chapters within the audio file. There is a very brief YogaDownload.com intro, which appears before every file.
Comments: This isnt anything fancy or innovative, just a straightforward yoga practice that does what it does nicely.
Jackie says this is to warm the muscles, which I interpret to mean she designed this as a practice for the morning. However, I think this would also make a great post-work or study session practice to counteract all of that hunching over computers, books, steering wheels, etc. (I probably wouldnt use this as a just before bed practice because of the backbends, although you can tone them down a little if you want or need.) To me this practice can both energize and release tension.
Instructor Comments:
Jackie has a pleasant voice. She cues well. Theres not a ton of form instruction, alignment tips, etc., but Jackie includes a decent amount to keep you on track but not overwhelm you. Jackie uses mostly English names of poses, and her language in generally is relatively straightforward and plain.

Baseball Vols Sweep Three Rivers
April 28, 2015
Logan Media Services
CARTERVILLE – Sophomore outfielder Kyle Schneider banged out five hits, including three doubles and four runs batted in Tuesday, to lead the John A. Logan College baseball team to a doubleheader sweep over visiting Three Rivers, Mo., 3-1 and 5-0, in non-conference action.
Trailing 1-0, the Vols tallied all the runs they would need to win the opener in the bottom of the third inning. Sophomore Austin Rieman led off with a single. Another sophomore, Jake Carpenter, followed suit. Doug Parks bunted the runners to second and third and Schneider roped a ground-rule double down the left field line for a 2-1 lead. Schneider advanced to third on a wild pitch and then came home to score on an RBI base hit to left by Nate Tholl.
That was all the runs that sophomore righthander Jake Herron (4-1) would need. Herron worked all seven innings, allowing one run on four hits. He struck out seven, including six through the first three innings.
Schneider paced the offense with three hits in four at bats. Jeff Hahs, Carpenter and Rieman each collected two hits.
In Game 2, the Vols scored a single run in the second inning when Tyler Horchem singled, advanced on a wild pitch, and scored on an RBI single from Carpenter.
Logan made it 2-0 in the third as Hahs doubled home Tholl. The home team tacked on three insurance runs in the fourth inning. Tyler Robertson reached on an infield single. Carpenter doubled him to third. Kenny King delivered a sacrifice fly. Parks reached on an infield single. Schneider followed with a two-run double.
Winning pitcher was starter, Peyton Cypress. The freshman allowed no runs on four hits. He struck out two, walked two, and benefited from a flyout double play when Logan's Hahs gunned down Branch, who tried to advance to third on a fly ball to medium rightfield.
"I was just trying to pound the strike zone early and often today," Cypress said. "When I'm on my game, I try to get my fastball on the outside corner or get the batter to chase the curve in the dirt. I think I'm finally starting to get my game together."
Gabe Jelley worked two scoreless innings in relief of Cypress, striking out one. The big righthander from Zeigler also benefited from a double play on a lineout to Hahs to end the game.
Carpenter said the team is growing more and more confident with each additional win.
"We're rolling into the playoffs this Saturday with these two wins today and have now won eight in a row," he said. "The pitching staff is doing very well. We're scoring a lot of runs. The defense has been solid. We just have to keep pushing ourselves."
Vols head coach Jerry Halstead said it was nice to take a pair of games from a quality program like Three Rivers.
"We wanted to stay on a little roll and were able to do that today," he said. "We got great pitching from all three of our guys. Anytime you get midweek pitching like we got today, you have to feel pretty good."
Halstead said the offense was not as potent Tuesday as it has been in recent weeks.
"But we swung the bats well enough," he said. "We just need to get our third through fifth hitters – Plant, Hahs and Horchem – hot again. The good news is that we are definitely playing our best baseball of the year at the right time."
Now 24-14 overall, Logan will host Lake Land College in the quarterfinal round of the Region 24 tournament with a doubleheader Saturday beginning at noon in Carterville. A third and deciding game will be played Sunday at noon, if necessary.
The winner will advance to the semifinal round the following weekend.
"We are a diverse learning and teaching community committed to improving individual life and society through high-quality, accessible educational programs and engaged learning opportunities."

On day 100, which is the last day of project LIFE with my friend Manting, it's time to reconvene and reflect. This isn't about doing something drastic or attention grabbing but is a constant effort to learn something new and tell ourselves to get outside the box a little. It doesn't mean that we will stop trying after this day. Instead this has set a tone for us and we are now getting used to the thought of doing at least one thing different or new every day.
There are lots of days when I couldn't really share publicly what I did that's different. However, making it public has made it a commitment that I can't overlook. And this is what I chose to do versus Manting who preferred not to share online.
I encourage everyone to try Project LIFE once in a lifetime, be it just a week or 30 days. It will change your perspective about life and make it more meaningful and fun. Even just like what Dallas Clayton suggested on Instagram, just chatting with your friends about how you met and who you'll become one day could already be a satisfying project LIFE.
Listen, love, laugh and let go. Most importantly, be who you are and be happy.
#第100天 終極的100天,以後每天的動力。
Project L.I.F.E. – Living interestingly, fearlessly, effortlessly. 100 days to learn something new and different each day,

It was pre-match training ahead of the big game against Australia on Sunday when MS Dhoni made news for the wrong reasons.
After a game of football, which Team India always starts its training with these days, Dhoni was getting ready to go to the nets when a photojournalist tried to get his attention for a photo.
Dhoni, for some reason, didn't like that and retorted: "Cricket khel lein?" (Can you allow us to play cricket).
The photojournalist didn't get the sarcasm and asked: "Are you asking me to play cricket?"
To that Dhoni replied: "If you would have been capable of that, you would have been here." And then the skipper left for the nets.
This is for the second time in less than a week that Dhoni has vented out at a journalist, after it happened first in the post-match press conference in Bengaluru where India beat Bangladesh by a run.
Dhoni then had lashed out at a journalist saying "I know you are not happy that India has won." (Foreign media reprots0

Legal Firms Are a Growing Target
Today's reality is that law offices and legal firms are an attractive target for cyber attackers. While breaches don't always make national news, the attacks are growing in frequency for several reasons:
Less Sophisticated Security and Compliance Programs
Most legal firms struggle with lack of comprehensive security program, security best practices, and lean IT teams, often leaving them exposed to loss of confidential client information.
Complex Environments
Legal firms no longer have a simple on-premises network, and increasingly use mobile, cloud-based, or hybrid solutions. Increasing number of applications and connected workplace create potential weak links and vulnerabilities exposing the legal firm to loss of sensitive client data, financial fraud, and business disruptions.
Easy Entry
Cybercriminals often view legal firms as a prime entry point into a larger target, as we've seen with many highly-publicized data breaches at large organizations.
Legal Industry Challenges
The legal industry is facing a dramatic increase in attacks such as ransomware, phishing attacks and theft of confidential information. Legal firms must comply with a patchwork of state and federal laws governing the protection of sensitive client and employee data. Furthermore, any breach can cause irreparable harm to the firm's reputation, resulting in loss of clients and future business.
There is a need for continuous security monitoring and assessment of security controls and best practices as well as continuous vulnerability assessment. Investments in security monitoring technology are often underutilized because legal organizations do not have enough IT staff. Monitoring thousands of log events, and detecting and fixing vulnerabilities and missing patches is an extremely challenging task.
How Cygilant Helps Legal Organizations
Due to limited IT budgets, it is common for legal organizations to have a small IT team tasked with all aspects of IT operations. As a result, lean IT teams are resource constrained to protect their critical IT assets from cyber attacks and comply with regulations.
Cygilant's SOCVue services offer an affordable set of subscription-based services to deliver increased security visibility and guidance effectively reducing cyber risks and meeting compliance challenges. Cygilant can help you monitor and protect you from a costly data breach. Our team of GSOC security analysts, working as an extension of your IT team, provide 24x7x365 monitoring of your IT environment to detect, analyze and respond to suspicious activity from cyber attacks. We conduct periodic vulnerability and patch scans to identify vulnerability and missing patches, prioritize them, and provide guidance on fixing vulnerabilities and patches based on business risk to continually reduce the attack surface, all the while providing an auditable record to help you meet regulatory requirements.
Talk to an Expert
Learn how Cygilant can reduce your security vulnerabilities, improve your security workflow, and help you meet compliance mandates.

In an era when mp3s and their remixes pass through digital palms like grains of sand, it's refreshing to come across Peter Silberman's thoughtful re-working of "Claustrophobia" by Denmark's Choir Of Young Believers. Antlers frontman Silberman approaches the song with humility, recognizing its effectiveness lies in its simplicity, developing subtle electronic nuances that remain kindred to the original's organic counterparts. Silberman's take is hardly a mirror image, though; inching closer to embodying claustrophobia than even the Danish collective's version, the remix continually builds into a digital swell that recalls the more frenetic (and awesome) character of Björk's Homogenic-era glitch obsession. Ultimately, it's a reverent gesture to Choir Of Young Believers' graceful embrace of experimental and pop song craft. "Claustrophobia" is the third single from the band's debut LP, This Is For The White In Your Eyes (Ghostly International). In addition to the original and Silberman's edit, the single features Sian Alice Group's take on "Wintertime Love."

A Different Perspective: Christmas in 18th century's
When we think about Christmas, we always think of Santa, gifts, snowman and Christmas tree. Christmas celebrations have changed a lot over this period of time. If we look back into the past centuries, celebrations used to start many days before we celebrate Christmas in the 21st century. Going back to the 18th century when Christmas was celebrated with spiritual happiness, it was a lot different from the kind of celebrations and arrangements we have today. At that time, the main focus was on adults rather than children, perhaps because of the post-revolutionary war. Adults used to indulge in various activities to give their personal touch.
Christmas is a religious festival and requires all family members celebrate it together. When it comes to Christmas gifts, landlord used to give his servants sweets, cash, books, etc. Back then, children were not gifted anything we are used to nowadays. Decorating Christmas tree was not a part of celebrating Christmas during that time, which is quite unlike from today when people decorate Christmas tree with so much passion and fun.
In that period, making or giving Christmas cards to friends and relatives was very rare. Wealthy people used to celebrate this day with their close family and friends by relishing a good variety of food with wines, sherry, and Madeira. The entertainment was limited to home-centric activities only. Food like roasted beef, turkey, chicken, duck, and goose was part of their delicacies.
Decoration was also one of the main parts of Christmas celebration during the 18th century. Modern people used to spend lots of money to decorate their house or buying gifts for friends and relatives. But in 18th-century, pineapple was considered more precious. Green boughs were stick on the Christmas Eve. Church's roof, walls, galleries, and pillars were decorated with garlands of holly, mountain laurel, ivy, and mistletoe. Garlands were bedecked with a pew, altar, and pulpits. Various flowers and herbs were scattered all around the churches. Flowers like lavender, rosemary, rose petals, the bay which gave pleasant scent were used because of its fragrance and aromatic quality.
The Christmas was celebrated with the forty-day cycle. It starts from 25 December, and includes the following:
25th December was celebrated as the blessed event when Jesus was born.
After eight days of Christmas, 1st January was celebrated as the baptism of Jesus.
After 12 days of Christmas, 6th January was celebrated as Sign of Jesus.
After 40 days, 2nd February was celebrated as the rebirth of the Jesus.
Thus, all these days were celebrated in the 18th century with great enthusiasm and passion, which seem missing in our century.
Christmas carols, hymns, and music were very popular those days. People used to sang Christmas songs, hymns and carols with their friends and family. Music and special dances were performed during the whole Christmas festival.
At that time, shops remained open and anyone could sell anything on Christmas. There was no gun shot heard in Christmas mornings or evenings. It was like any other day and people used to go to their work as before.
Share and Enjoy

Products & Services - Cooling Systems
The cooling system of any vehicle is by far the most important component of the entire machine. It is a fact that between 60 and 80% of engine and transmission failures are caused by cooling system "malfunctions". This has been an enormous cost to equipment owners and $1.5 billion dollars annually is attributed to this failure across Australia.
This is an enormous amount of money considering the fact that it could be reduced dramatically (probably by 75%) by the installation of the correct cooling system products.
FluidMasters ongoing commitment is to offer the very best cooling system products that can be produced. The products FluidMasters market were developed by the School of Chemical Engineering at the Western Australian Institute of Technology (Curtin University) in the early 1980's by Dr Richie and his team developed a protectorate as well as a flushing product.
FluidMasters have been marketing these products to their client base since 1982 and in that time the two most common and most destructive problems confronting the operator as far as the cooling system is concerned are "Cavitation Erosion" (Pit holes that drill through the cylinder liners) and "Electrolysis" (the destruction of alloys, i.e. cylinder heads etc).These two major problems have become a thing of the past for our clients with not one instance being recorded in over 26 years.
The design of cooling systems today is as it was in Henry Ford's time, with very little changes. Water, a radiator and radiator hoses, fan belts, a radiator cap, and a water pump.
In engines today it is essential to protect complicated alloy heads and multi valve systems. An alloy head is subjected to "electrolysis", the disintegrating of alloy by electrical action of the engine. It is as though the engine is one big "battery". An alloy head can cost anywhere from $1000.00 to $6000.00.
Scary thought but a reality, and still they go unprotected as owners take the advice of the repairer or the garage owner who sells them the incorrect or inadequate product for their equipment's cooling systems. Remember, the retailer usually has little knowledge of the products he is selling.
So, why is it that FluidMasters can advise you on the correct products for this protection? Because, we manufacture our products to perform as required by the manufacturer. Sadly though, MANY of the OEM engines cooling system protection just DO NOT WORK, or fail before the stipulated time of protection is reached.
Diesel Engine manufacturers have increased engine operating temperatures to improve engine efficiency. This means proper cooling system maintenance is especially important. Overheating,overcooling, pitting, cavitation, erosion, cracked heads, piston seizures, and plugged radiators are classic cooling system failures.
Proper coolant selection and maintenance of the system is the owner's choice and the right coolant is vital to successful engine service life. In fact, coolant is just as important as the quality of your fuel or lubricating oil.
FluidMasters provides cooling system preventative maintenance products and services to help you avoid the down-time & costly effects of coolant-related engine / transmission failures.
Our Cooling System maintenance products include:
Cooling System Conditioner
Cooling System All Seasons Coolant
Cooling System Flush (Please note that we provide onsite services for cooling systems)

Stray Current Corrosion Test Results
Purpose: to evaluate the corrosion effect of minor voltage in cooling fluid under controlled and measurable conditions. A leading brand coolant was chosen for the test as it has a known and proven level of performance without the presence of voltage.
Test method used and modifications made
The test method chosen for evaluation of the effects of stray current corrosion was ASTM D1384-87. This test method is recognized world wide as a basis for evaluating the corrosion potential of a cooling fluid on the six basic metals found within the cooling system. Two tests were run using identical coolant. This fluid was chosen as it is known to perform excellently under this test method. Test setup ONE was in accordance with standard ASTM D1384-87 requirements for testing coolants. Test setup TWO was modified to include voltage leakage commonly found in faulty automotive cooling systems. The test coupons are in two insulated bundles. (Copper, Solder, Brass) and (steel, Cast Iron, Cast Aluminium). Positive voltage was induced on the Solder Coupon and the Cast Iron coupon to ensure both sets received the same voltage flow. All test metal coupons were new and certified to conform with the material specification of ASTM D1384-87. Both tests were run over 336 hours at 900 c with aeration of 100 ml per Minute.
Results and Conclusion
The results were staggering; Test ONE with no voltage present was inline with all previous tests of the brand name coolant (Virtually no metal corrosion weight loss on any coupons). Test TWO with 1 volt present in the coolant suffered massive corrosion and weight loss on Solder, Cast Iron and Aluminium. Both Cast Iron and Cast Aluminuim were the most sensitive to stray current increasing in corrosion rate to a thousand percent over the standard test with no voltage, Aluminium pitted badly, Solder's corrosion rate increased some 500% when voltage was present. Copper, Brass and Steel showed a minor corrosion rate increase in the presence of voltage but still fell well within the corrosion performance level required by ASTM D1384 We also noted a marked increase in the conductivity of the coolant at the end of the test that was subjected to Voltage, this indicates that the fluid is taking on corrosion by products and further enhancing the effect of voltage corrosion. Stray current is obviously a major corrosion problem where Cast Iron and Aluminuim are present regardless of coolant type.
Stray current tests
This Test had 1 volt induced into the cooling fluid. Note Severe corrosion and pitting on Aluminium & Cast iron. Bottom set of metal coupons are from Test 1. This test was performed using the same cooling fluid as test 2 minus the voltage. The results were near to perfect with no pitting or corrosion weight loss on any of the 6 metals. The initial results indicate that no matter what cooling fluid is used if voltage is present in the cooling system accelerated corrosion of Solder, Cast iron and Aluminium will occur. Also we noted that any cooling fluid including water will actually increase its conductivity as a result of voltage leak and continue to enhance the Stray Current corrosion loss on all metals. Voltage induced corrosion is a MAJOR PROBLEM and cannot be ignored any longer as it is causing motorists Millions of unnecessary dollars per year.

The Breeder Award Program continued rolling at the February meeting with nine entries from five different members which added some excitement and competitive bidding to the monthly auction. With the early action, there are already seven members separated by only 40 points in the "Frank Montillo Breeder of the Year" competition!
New BAP member Doug Brown started off with a bang, bringing in 50 points and vaulting to second place in the BOY. Doug entered Ancistrus catfish (bristlenose plecos), tequila sunrise guppies (Poecilia reticulata) and a rarely seen Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos, a mouth-brooding Lake Malawi cichlid termed the electric blue mbuna.
Elvin Eaton entered two livebearers to move closer to the Master Breeder award: Zoogoneticus tequila, a goodeid, and Micropoecilia minima, a tiny poeciliid. Dan Koenig scored with the beautiful and peaceful dwarf South American substrate-spawning cichlid Laetacara ararguaiae, while Matt DeGroodt held on to first place in the BOY with Columbian red and blue tetras (Hyphessobrycon columbianus). Larry Jinks entered a West African substrate-spawning cichlid (Pelvicachromis taeniatus "Kienke River") and the native rainwater killifish (Lucania parva).

One of the strangest new children's toys on the market is Lammily, a "real life" doll for girls launched in 2014 by artist Nickolay Lamm.
Lammily has the proportions of an actual teenage girl — and therefore is shorter and stockier than Barbie, the impossibly thin top-selling doll from Mattel.
Lammily sales are doing well: "We've done $1.5 million in sales exclusively from online," Lamm told Business Insider this week. "We have yet to try out specialty or mass retail, so we're excited about that."
Several years ago, Lamm became obsessed with Barbie's distorted body. His obsession began in part because of his own attempt to obtain a "perfect" body as a teenager. "Back in high school, I starved myself and exercised to exhaustion to have a set of six-pack abs. After achieving my desired BMI, I looked and felt terrible," he wrote recently on his blog.
Two years ago, Lamm gave Business Insider a set of illustrations in which he tried to reshape Barbie using the proportions of an average American 19-year-old. "I feel that this is as close as you can get to a real-life representation of a Barbie-proportioned woman standing next to an average-size woman," he told us.
The average 19-year-old woman was modeled using these measurements, as described by the CDC:
- 64.29" height
- 33.62" waist
- 14.09" upper-arm length
- 14.45" upper-leg length
- 20" head circumference
- 15" neck circumference
Barbie, at one-sixth scale, would have the following measurements, Lamm believes:
- 69" height
- 36" bust
- 18" waist
- 33" hips
- 22" head circumference
- 9" neck circumference
The illustrations below show what a "Barbie" may look like if she were a normal American. (And you can see how they eventually led Lamm to create Lammily.)

Today I'm taking a break from holiday looks and sharing a more casual outfit. As much as I love wearing dressy pieces, some days just call for comfortable basic items like a sweatshirt and a printed skirt. I really like how this bordeaux top complements the colors of my ikat skirt. Tribal and ethnic-inspired designs are actually summer trends but can still look appropriate for Autumn/ Winter when you pair them with dark wine hues. :)

So there is this project I am attempting to do.
It is called "Tales" and is supposed to be a flash parody of the game series "Fable."
Those games are kind of incredible when I think of the size and effort it took to make them, and this would be a great opportunity to create something great.
Once one of them is finished, I am planning on presenting it to studio that originally created it.
I am hoping this will give them reason to consider purchasing it and giving me and my helpers credit for the effort.
Currently I have all of the different types of body parts and clothes with different skin shades.
I also have a decent amount of the navigation programming done, along with the status bar.
I have programmed simple enemy AI that will stand still until the player is in the vicinity, at which point they will either shoot (from afar) or hit with a weapon (up close).
It would be cool if there was an artist and programmer in this project besides myself.
It would always be nice to get a second opinion.
But so far we have:
Me (artist/programmer/owner)
An artist at my school who helps with floor tiles.
A person who is at least attempting to help out with some of the art.
RainbowHorse who is helping out with some of the art. If they can, when they can.
Pretty much.

What You Need to Know About Aggressive Behavior in Dogs
We all know that some dogs are very aggressive. But do we really know what causes this kind of behavior in dogs or how to stop and control it? No matter what caused your dog's aggression you need to address it as soon as possible given that the results of prolonged aggression are not just scary but also dangerous if not quickly addressed. But don't worry because this article will tell you the many causes of aggressive behavior in dogs and how to stop and/or control it.
What Causes Aggressive Behavior in Dogs?
There are a lot of factors why some dogs are aggressive. One of the most common causes is that the owner takes the puppy from its litter before 8 weeks of age. This is ill-advised because the puppy needs to socialize with other dogs as young as 6 weeks of age until the dog turns 14 weeks of age and can ever go further beyond that.
Another factor why dogs are aggressive is that some owners treat them harshly. Never hit, yell or do any harsh punishments to a dog at a young age since it can breed aggressive behavior in dogs in the long run.
Heredity and genetics are one of the main factors of actual aggression, but this rule doesn't necessarily apply to all dogs. Some breeds are also more prone to aggressive behavior than others because they have not been neutered or spayed.
But the most important factor that creates aggressive behavior in dogs is the environment that they are raised. If a dog has been raised in poor living conditions, harsh owners, with no socialization or has been attacked or frightened by another dog is far more likely to be aggressive as it grows.
Aggression can also come from the need to establish dominance. Biting, posturing and other aggressive tendencies are often the result of a dog testing for dominance. You have to establish dominance at a young age and make sure that you keep that position throughout the dog's adolescence life to make sure that it doesn't have the opportunity to take control of the household.
How to Stop and Control Aggressive Behavior in Dogs
If your dog shows aggressive behavior when it has reached sexual maturity around 14 months of age, and especially if your dog has been neutered or spayed, you should immediately address the problem. You can do this by making sure that you have established yourself as the pack leader. Also remember not to reward your dog for aggressive behavior, especially if it is scared.
You can start by training your dog how to respond to your commands. You can do this by controlling your dog's feeding and walking times, and also make sure that your dog knows who the man of the house is. If you simply let the dog do what it wants to do in your home, it will even show more aggression towards others.
But if your dog may strike out at someone out of fear and this is called defensive-aggressive. These kinds of dogs may not have been socialized properly. Remember to keep them away from small children and also take your dogs to a training session or behaviorist so that your dog can slowly get used to a social atmosphere.
Although aggressive behavior in dogs is a serious problem that a lot of owners experience it can still be controlled, even as your dog gets older. Consider hiring a professional if your dog's aggressive behavior turns into violence before anyone gets hurt.

NTC leader asks NATO to stay until end of 2011
Issued on: Modified:
Libya's interim leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil asked NATO at a conference in Doha on Wednesday to continue its military campaign until the end of the year. NATO postponed a meeting to formalise the military phaseout from Wednesday to Friday.
REUTERS - NATO should stay involved in Libya until the end of this year to help prevent loyalists of late strongman Muammar Gaddafi from leaving the country, interim leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil said at a meeting with the military alliance in Qatar on Wednesday.
NATO, whose air strikes backed rebel forces that overthrew Gaddafi in August, is to decide on Friday whether to end its mission following Gaddafi's death and burial in the past week and a declaration by the National Transitional Council (NTC) that the North African state has been "liberated".
"We look forward to NATO continuing its operations until the end of the year," Jalil told reporters, adding that stopping the flight of Gaddafi supporters to other countries was a priority.
"We seek technical and logistics help from neighbouring and friendly countries," Jalil added.
Qatar was one of the first countries to recognize the NTC as the legitimate authority in Libya and supplied rebels with water, weapons and more than $400 million in aid. Qatar also provided help in marketing and selling Libyan oil.
In Brussels on Wednesday, a NATO official said the alliance had postponed until Friday a meeting of its ambassadors which had been set for Wednesday and was expected to formalise a decision to end its Libya mission.
"The Libya discussion has been moved to Friday to accommodate the ongoing consultations with the United Nations and the National Transitional Council," the NATO official said.
NATO states took a preliminary decision last Friday to wind up the mission in Libya on Oct. 31 and the commander of the operation said on Tuesday that the alliance believed NTC forces would be capable of handing security threats.
But Libyan interim Oil and Finance Minister Ali Tarhouni said on Tuesday he wanted NATO to maintain its mission for another month.

Perhaps the most unusual interface in the film is a game seen when Theo visits his cousin Nigel for a meal and to ask for a favor. Nigel's son Alex sits at the table silent and distant, his attention on a strange game that it's designer, Mark Coleran, tells me is called "Kubris," a 3D hybrid of Tetris and Rubik's Cube.
Alex operates the game by twitching and sliding his fingers in the air. With each twitch a small twang is heard. He suspends his hand a bit above the table to have room. His finger movements are tracked by thin black wires that extend from small plastic discs at his fingertips back to a device worn on his wrist. This device looks like a streamlined digital watch, but where the face of a clock would be are a set of multicolored LEDs arranged in rows. These LEDs flicker on and off in inscrutable patterns, but clearly showing some state of the game. There is an inset LED block that also displays an increasing score. Continue reading
