Animal adult coloring pages
3 reasons to buy a animal adult coloring pages
How would you react if your psychologist advised you to buy a coloring, animal adult coloring pages and a set of colored pencils? Probably would offer him to swap seats. But do not hurry to sniff skeptically. More and more psychotherapists and psychologists prescribe such therapy to adults.
There are special coloring books, animal adult coloring pages, with intricate designs and interesting plots, such as would be liked by both men and women. Besides the fact that these publications are beautiful, they help to cope with a wide range of problems: from ordinary fatigue to serious mental disorders. There are printed books with a large number of pages, ornaments, and plots. In the meantime, we are trying to convince you to acquire a similar coloring, you can try on yourself art therapy in electronic form. Fortunately, many applications have been created for this.
Alternative to meditation
Did you know that Carl Jung prescribed a kind of coloring to patients? The psychoanalyst asked them to fill in cell paint in order to gain access to the clients subconscious and self-awareness. Today, this method is considered obsolete, but the coloring is shown to many patients as an alternative to meditation, a means of relaxation and soothing practice. Coloring, animal adult coloring pages, helps a person to focus on the picture and small details, throwing all his obsessive thoughts and anxieties for several hours.
Treatment of depression
Coloring, animal adult coloring pages can cope with a variety of emotional problems. For many, boredom and stress are the main triggers for the occurrence of disorders of a different nature. This is especially true for people suffering from anxiety, depression and drug addiction. When patients are engaged in coloring the ornaments in the book, they concentrate on the drawing and hold this focus for a long time. It helps to shift the focus from negative thoughts to a positive and productive mood.
Antistress therapy
Coloring, animal adult coloring pages, will be very useful for people with the post-traumatic syndrome or those who are constantly under stress. The fact is that such an exercise soothes the amygdala, that is, the area of the brain that is responsible for the formation of emotions. When you focus on coloring a picture, you engage in complacency, giving the brain the opportunity to relax and unwind.

When your foot is blue and your motor is reaching for the moon, we know what you're thinking: It's a good thing this engine's rock solid. At least we hope that's true. And as important as good-quality engine fasteners are for today's performance engines, proper installationis equally critical. Make a mistake here by installing a mediocre bolt or overtightening it and all of your hard work, cool parts, and budget may take a hit.
There are many aspects of selecting and installing engine fasteners the right way, including proper torque and bolt stretch where applicable. Your engine is packed with a variety of head bolts, intake manifold bolts, main cap bolts, rod bolts, and more. By selecting the best fasteners for your application and installing them the right way, you can run your motor hard for years to come. Follow along as we explain how and why.
Make it Strong
In the world of mundane engines and humdrum performance, standard-issue engine hardware in good condition works reasonably well. In the world of high-performance street or full-race setups, much greater demands are placed on engine fasteners as power levels and engine speeds are increased. Of all the fasteners in your engine, the rod bolts are the most critical because they are the most stressed from a reciprocating load. Rod bolts must withstand all the dynamic force caused by the moving piston and connecting rod.
Constructing a rod bolt that will provide outstanding reliability starts with determining the load it will carry. This is accomplished by calculating the dynamic force generated by the moving piston and rod, which is dependent on a portion of the weight of the reciprocating parts and the engine speed. This dynamic force is at its maximum value at TDC and BDC.
The reciprocating load, however, is not the only cause of stress on a rod bolt. A secondary effect arises due to the flexibility of the big end of the connecting rod. This also causes flexing at the bolted joint, and as engine speed increases so does the flexing. This load additionally works to stretch the rod bolts. With varying tension loads and the flexing of the bolts, rod bolts must be able to apply a clamping force greater than the load placed on the connecting rod's big end. With this information collected, a safety factor can be calculated for the level of stress the particular rod bolt (properly installed) will endure.
On With It
Engine bolts require a specified tension to install. Three methods are used to determine how much tension is placed on a fastener: torque wrench, stretch gauge, and torque angle. Of these three, the stretch gauge is the most accurate, but not always a possibility due to physical constraints. The best way to install and tighten rod bolts is by preloading the bolt to meet the manufacturer's stretch value. If a rod bolt is tightened using the torque method, there may exist too little or too much clamping force.
Remember to Yield
Because a rod bolt or other engine fastener must give and take to a degree, it acts much like a spring when correctly selected and installed. Just as a spring can be overstretched, a rod bolt can permanently deform if installed or tightened incorrectly. The point at which a bolt will overstretch and deform is called the yield strength. Most performance-bolt manufacturers, like ARP, provide torque and stretch values equal to 75 percent of the fastener's yield strength. So when a particular bolt is tightened to spec, it still has another 25 percent of stretch to its yield strength. This allows the fastener to rebound and maintain a clamping load. For a rod bolt, the 25 percent remaining yield strength allows it to withstand added loads at high rpm. If the fastener length exceeds the yield strength, it is ruined and must be replaced.
Stretch First
Before tightening any new fastener (where the stretch method cannot be used), it's important to tighten and loosen five times. This is because the existing friction is at its highest value when a new fastener is first tightened. Each successive time the fastener is torqued and loosened, the value gets smaller, until finally the friction levels out and becomes constant. The number of cycles required is dependent upon the lubricant used. Generally, ARP lubricants require five cycles before tightening.
Get Clean & Greasy
Properly cleaning and lubing a rod bolt before tightening is also very important. As an example, a dry, nonlubed bolt may require 95 ft-lb of the applied torque to overcome friction during tightening. But before you just spray your favorite engine oil on your rod bolts, check with the bolt's manufacturer. Studies have shown that typical engine oil versus a bolt manufacturer's lubricant will produce a difference in the amount of torque needed to meet the desired stretch, because the friction coefficients of the lubricants vary considerably. Most bolt and stud manufacturers offer lubricants that have been tested to provide the recommended tightening values.
As a fastener is torqued in place, it has to overcome the friction between the threads and the component being secured. The remaining torque is what applies the tension (or stretch) that keeps the fastener from loosening (clamp load).
Using a Torque Wrench
For many applications, such as cylinder head bolts, nuts, and main cap studs or bolts, torque wrenches work fine. But a torque wrench only measures the friction encountered, not the stretch of the fastener. This can become a problem because the results vary and are hard to control. By using the stretch method where possible (as with rod bolts), the preload is controlled and independent of friction.
Bolts or Studs?
Should you use bolts or studs? It depends on the application, but for many high-performance engines, studs provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. This is because when bolts are used to hold an engine component, the fastener is actually being twisted as it's being torqued to the proper value. Therefore, the bolt is reacting to two forces at the same time.
When installing studs, remember that they should be installed hand-tight and never forced in tightly with a tool or jam nuts. This way, as torque is applied to the nut (to clamp down the component), the stud will only stretch on the vertical axis. Another benefit of studs is that there is less force applied to the block threads, which adds to block life. CHP

Managers of contributions and community relations programs face pressures to prove how they add value, and this pressure has caused some to explore new performance measurements. The most sophisticated efforts combine evaluation and benchmarking to develop integrated programs that promote the company's image and business goals. One company profiled in this report tries to show in dollars how its community outreach efforts have benefited the business. Another has linked its community affairs strategy with human resources to promote diversity. It is difficult to say, however, whether such measurement will become standard practice for corporate community involvement professionals.

The last few weeks for La Palma Police Chief Eric Nunez have been tense. He and his family endured 24-hour protection after being mentioned in Christopher Dorner's manifesto.
Though Dorner praised Nunez, the possibility that the fugitive ex-police officer would reach out to him amid the massive manhunt was ominous.
"My wife was obviously very worried," Nunez said. "I tried to convince her that it is very unlikely that we would have any contact, but we did make a plan."
In an 11,400-word document published online, Dorner wrote this about Nunez: "You're just an awesome person and my first exposure to what law enforcement was really about."
Karen and Jim Reynolds recall their terrifying ordeal after walking through the front door of their southern California vacation home on Tuesday to find accused murderer Christopher Dorner inside.
Nunez said he was "reeling" trying to make sense of Dorner's alleged rampage that left four dead, including two law enforcement officials and a newly engaged couple.
Nunez said Dorner was part of the department's police explorer volunteer program while at Kennedy High School and that he would visit once a year.
"The Chris Dorner that I knew back when he was an explorer here and going through college then going through the Navy wouldn't have done the horrendous acts that he did, would not have been the cold-blooded calculated murderer," Nunez said.
More news from NBCLosAngeles.com
Nunez explained that he had not heard from Dorner for two years until a package was dropped off at his office on Jan. 23. It contained a note explaining that Dorner did not lie during the investigation that led to his dismissal from the LAPD and a video of one of the interrogations.
"I barely had some inclination that he had been terminated or that he was no longer with LAPD but I had no context of the nature of that investigation was or anything," Nunez said.
"I really didn't even know what this was actually about until I read the manifesto," he added.
He said he first read the manifesto when members of the Irvine Police Department arrived to his offices asking him about Dorner. Detectives were investigating the deaths of newly engaged couple Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan, the daughter of a former LAPD captain targeted in Dorner's manifesto.
After a long manhunt culminating in gunfire and a cabin set ablaze, the search for accused murderer and ex-cop Christopher Dorner seems to have ended. Police say the charred body found inside the cabin was unrecognizable, but they claim there is no doubt their suspect is dead. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
"It's unfathomable. Even the first call that I got telling me that I was named in this manifesto and they wanted to talk to me about it and they told me who their suspect is, the Irvine Police Department, and my head is reeling because I am thinking how is that even possible?" Nunez said.
He turned over the package and its contents to the investigators.
Days after Nunez received the package, Dorner allegedly went on a shooting spree that killed Riverside police Officer Michael Crain. Nunez went to Crain's funeral and, like the entire Southland law enforcement community, is now mourning the loss of two brothers.
San Bernandino Sheriff Detective Jeremiah MacKay was killed this week in a final gunbattle with Dorner before the 33-year old ex-LAPD officer died in a burning cabin in which he barricaded himself.
Two other members of law enforcement were wounded.
But what sets Nunez apart is his connection to Dorner.
"Whatever relief you might feel was [mixed] with deep sadness that came at the cost of another officer's life," he said. "Everybody that has been touched by this is trying to figure out what went wrong."

Hello friends! Welcome to a new week :)
I thought we'd kick-start the week by looking at something extra special that I've been meaning to post about for a while now.. Indian block printing!
I was reminded of my love for this artform a few months ago when I came across this video from West Elm – it's so dreamy, it makes me want to dash off to India immediately. If you aren't sure what block printing is, this video will be a great introduction :)
It's a very old way of printing using hand-carved wooden blocks, and the results can be spectacular. It's easy to forget, though, that the hand-carved wooden blocks can be just as beautiful as the finished results! Just take a look at these beauties from Ta Ta Indian Wood Stamps on Etsy…
Aren't they amazing? I find it hard to imagine that someone actually chipped away at each one by hand to create these intricate designs… clearly they're very skilled and have a lot of patience haha!
Wouldn't they be a great way to give block printing a go at home? Or even to use as display.. the designs are just too pretty! What would you do with them? Do you think you'd try printing with them? :)
Another way you can have a go at block printing is to carve your own block (from lino!). Here are a couple of great tutorials – from Pretty Prudent and Everything Golden.
I hope you're as inspired by block printing as I am! x

Energy and Nanoscience A More Perfect Union
Additional materials available (4)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Huge problems of energy and sustainability confront the science/engineering community and mankind and our planet. This overview will stress the nature of the problems, and a few areas where theoretical chemistry can make substantial contributions to solving these problems. The energy problem comes in many dimensions, including supply, demand, conservation, transportation, and storage. Some remarks will be made on excitons in solar cells and on advanced batteries.
Mark Ratner is Morrison Professor of Chemistry and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at NU. Ratner is interested in structure and function at the nanoscale, and the theory of fundamental chemical processes. He tries to bring together structure and function in molecular nanostructures, based on theoretical notions, on exemplary calculations, and (very importantly) on collaborations with experimentalists and other theorists, in the US and around the world. Some areas of interest are molecular electronics, electron transfer, self-assembly, nonlinear response in molecules, and theories of quantum dynamics. In the interstices, he spends as much time trout fishing as he possibly can. Ratner is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences. He has received the Langmuir Award from the American Chemical Society and the Feynman Award from the Foresight Institute. He also has also been a member of the Faculty Teaching Honor Roll at Northwestern eleven times, and has taught roughly five thousand students in General Chemistry in the last dozen years. He received his BA and PhD from Harvard and NU, respectively.

"Why Churches Die" is a book authored by Mac Brunson, pastor of First Baptist Church Dallas (TX), and Ergun Caner, dean of Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. According to the subtitle, the goal of the book is to "diagnose lethal poisons in the Body of Christ." This book diagnoses 12 such poisons to the Body of Christ in a fashion that makes the book an easy read.
Brunson and Caner utilize fictitious case-studies to introduce each chapter, although nearly every reader will swear the authors visited their church once upon a time, only changing names to protect the guilty.
The authors of "Why Churches Die" are spot on in their identification of the symptoms of a dying church. They are, in my humble opinion, extremely weak in their use of biblical exegesis throughout the book. They have attempted to tie each symptom of a dying church to a biblical character who exemplifies that characteristic. In some cases, the examples fit. (For example, using Martha to describe the obsessive-compulsive tendency of some Christians to be distracted by the important while neglecting the essential) In other cases the examples used are, at best, a stretch (For example, pages 34-39 are devoted to explaining how Isaac's life decisions were all made because of a desire to coast on his father's past, a conclusion that is based on conjecture and speculation).
My other gripe about this book, though less substantial, is that the book spends the majority of each chapter pointing out the dangers of the various poisons to the church, and virtually no time diagnosing a solution. If a doctor tells me I'm dying, my immediate desire is not for information about the various permutations of the disease. I want to know how it can be treated.
Though I wouldn't give this book rave revues, it was a helpful reminder of just how delicate is the balance that must be maintained in Christ Body in order for it to remain healthy.
Ask the average churchgoer what the problem is with church today, and you're likely to hear a comment about the music. It's too loud, too soft, too modern, too out of touch. Or you'll hear about the use of technology, the absence of pews, or the length of the Pastor's sermon. But I've found with further questioning, those aren't the problems at all. There are "archaic" churches in America that God is using in marvelous ways, even in the 21st century. Likewise, there are "whippersnapper" churches that are making a global impact in the world for Jesus Christ. Style, format, and programming are the least of most congregants' concerns.
Despite the glaring negatives of the "postmodern" generation, what the church is faced with today is a culture that values authenticity, credibility, and character, more than the trappings of "religion." Today's culture wants content. They need the Gospel. And it's time for the dying churches of America to wake up and start talking about what really matters, instead of the things that have most recently consumed us.

There is nothing in the statutes of Texas regarding printing. A law enforcement officer told me you can see the imprint of a woman's breast but that does not mean unconcealed. When I first started carrying I felt my carrying a CA Bulldog presented to big a bulge, while pocket carrying my 38 I felt was better concealed. I carry my bullodog in a galco paddle holster, and I have not found anything else that works better for me. Most people don't notice that well whatever accessories someone else is carrying, even if they have a fanny pack. As long as one isn't wearing see thru clothing it does not seem to be a problem in Texas.
I would never say anything to someone I spot carrying as it is none of my business.

Fortunately for me, I get help from the wifey before we leave the house together and we play "Where is my gun?"
If she can spot it, I change the offending article or move location
Her suggestions have helped me work out a dress code for when she is not available to help.

I wouldn't take that to mean that printing is a total non-issue, however. Unlike the laws about public indecency, there is no careful definition of what constitutes "failing to conceal".
If, in spite of a token effort to cover the gun, it is still clearly detectable to the ordinary observer and the CHL holder obviously must understand this to be true then there's a good argument to be made that the CHL holder is intentionally failing to conceal the gun and is therefore in violation of the law.
My take is that the law makes it clear that a CHL holder must make a reasonable attempt to conceal the firearm. I think we all print unintentionally from time to time and that's clearly not illegal. On the other hand, TX CHL holders who know and don't care that their gun is always obviously printing are, in my opinion, intentionally failing to conceal and therefore are not acting in accord with the letter or spirit of the law.

If however someone is arrested for intentional unconcealment by someone in law enforcement that happens to be anti-gun one may run attorney fees but convicting them would be difficult. My experience is that law abiding citisens who are not breaking the law don't have much to worry about unless they are flagrantly unconcealing their weapon. Where I live I know most of the law enforcement officers however.
One thing I wonder about however, is say, Texas is NOT an open carry state, but if a state next to us has Open Carry, would a person with a Texas Permit be permitted to open carry in a state that is reciprical with Texas.
I would never carry openly anyway, but just wondering how that works.
While I never say anything to anyone I see carrying, I try to spot people that are but consider it none of my business.

This is just my opinion, but here's how I think it would work if there's a token attempt to conceal that's obviously ineffective. The first offense would probably be a non-issue. Second offense might go either way. Third time would be hard to defend. Basically it would take a pattern of behavior to establish that that the person was intentionally failing to conceal, but once the pattern was established, I think it would be fairly easy to get a conviction.

TexasJustice, you pose a good question. Conversely, we had friends from New Mexico come for a visit. They have open carry in NM. I told them before they crossed the border that we didn't have open carry in Texas and they could carry on a NM permit but they better keep it covered at all times. One fellow was under some misunderstanding that NM law applied anywhere he was in any state. I enlightened him that those boys from the DPS don't play and he better go study the law some more on guns and speed limits.

body language is the major tell. Many of the obvious signs have been discussed. But attitude is a major indicator.
I have seen many "professionals" open carry and no one noticed. I have seen punks without the obvious tells get spotted because of their physical carriage.
It is hard to describe what I'm saying. Maybe someone else who is a better wordsmith could do a better job.

Ayoob has reported several cases like that. Folks think their state applies in another and they go to jail.
One case was a student at the police academy who insisted on carrying in another state as he was an 'officer'. Ayoob told him NO,NO!
Student insisted and went to jail in the other state.

Training: I stick to the basics and train in regular classes. Other than sparring - I hit up a few gyms around town for all my training. I also go to the Grudge Training Center in Colorado to work with Trevor Wittman before every fight. I try to help them as much as I can and they allow me to train with some of the UFC's top contenders.

1969 Ford Mustang SportsRoof - The Next Level
Sriyantha Weerasuria's '69 Ford Mustang Fastback.
Before you even read the first sentence to this story, we know what preconceived notions already crossed your mind. You acknowledged this fastback's undeniable excellence, figured it cost two arms and two legs to build, then resentfully concluded that it's yet another example of rich guys encroaching on our turf. We'll give you the first two, but there's a big difference between wankers who happen to collect expensive cars and real-deal car guys who happen to have a few extra bucks to spend. The former think that a musclecar's hip factor compensates for their engorged midsections and utter lack of hot rodding aptitude. The latter represent what the average greasy-fingers car guy would do if his bank account weren't so average.
That's not to say that we'd all go out and build a $70,000 Pro Touring street machine. However, regardless of whether the money gets spent on the motor, suspension, or paint and body, you'd gladly take your car to the next level if you could. That's what Sriyantha Weerasuria's (S.W. for short) '69 Mustang is all about. It's not that rare. It doesn't have a matching-numbers this or an all-original that. It's not a pretentious exercise in flamboyance, either. And once you get past the stereotypes typically associated with high-dollar buildups, it's clear that this Mustang isn't too different from cars built on more pedestrian budgets. It's just a bit more polished.
Granted, building a car of this caliber requires a sizeable budget, but it's a far cry from the hundreds of thousands of dollars the pseudo-car guys spend on Boss 302s and Shelby GT350s at Barrett-Jackson. The experience of bolting a car together yourself is what this hobby is all about, and that's exactly what S.W. did. It took him over a year to find a suitable rust-free car, and he picked it up for $20,000. Again, that's more than the average person has to spend on a project-but let's face it, no one really wants a raggedy beater. You're just forced to settle for them more often than you'd like. Spending more up front often saves time and money in the long run, which is certainly the case here. By starting with a car that had already been restored, only the doorskins needed to be replaced. The bulk of the bodywork involved closing up the gaps and aligning the panels to perfection. The driprails were shaved for a subtle and tasteful touch.
As with the bodywork, rebuilding the motor was something S.W. wanted to do right the first time, so he enlisted the help of a trained professional. Since the goal was a mild-mannered street motor, he had Port Pros build him a production block-based 351W with forged internals and an Edelbrock top end. At 547 hp it's nothing over the top, but more than enough to dispose of aggressors on the way home from cruise night. Likewise, its hydraulic roller cam has enough lope to rattle the shaker scoop at idle but is tame enough to attenuate bucking and surging at low speed.
With the engine and bodywork complete, S.W. assembled the rest of the car himself with the help of his friend Rick Flores. For someone who's built Camaros in the past, the Mustang presented some unexpected challenges. "It was fun putting this car together, but finding parts for it was very difficult at times," he explains. "It took a very long time for me to get an original dash and tach, and I ended up finding them on eBay. Also, no one makes an aftermarket wiring harness with a stock tach lead, so I had to have it custom-made." Since S.W. didn't plan on wringing the Mustang out on a road course, the stock gauges and dash are meant to preserve the vintage feel of the interior. He says there are too many Pro Touring posers with rollbars and racing buckets, and we have to agree.
Unfortunately, there are no performance numbers to report, which most grassroots enthusiasts will probably snort about. Sure, some track time in the Mustang would be nice, but we can't really blame the guy for using it as a cruiser instead. He's got plenty of other cars to race in, and it would be rash to assume the man's got no skills. S.W. currently owns or has owned 9-second Vipers, 9-second C5 Corvettes, and Ferraris that get pounded on at the road course. His impressive collection of racing trophies would make all but the most experienced racer look foolish. S.W. 's current road car of choice is a race-prepped, 427-powered '01 Z06, which is probably a far superior tool for the task at hand than the Mustang anyway. Maybe we should be thanking him for not defiling a classic in the name of portraying a certain image.
With the means to enjoy so many exotics, S.W. 's penchant for Detroit iron may seem a bit peculiar. Ask him about it, however, and it all makes perfect sense. "No matter what you do to a musclecar it will never drive or handle like a new Z06, but late-models can't touch the experience of driving down the road in a musclecar," he opines. "The way these cars look and sound-there's just nothing like it. Anyone can go out and buy a new Z06 or a Viper, but it takes a lot more work and dedication to build a musclecar." That sure sounds like a genuine car guy to us.
Like most hot rodders, S.W. 's never quite done scheming up new plans. He's debating minitubbing the Mustang and adding a couple of hundred extra horsepower with a wicked 427 small-block. By now it should be pretty clear that S.W. isn't too different from the average car guy. He's just blessed with the resources to build cars we'd all love to build someday, to an exacting level of quality most people can only dream about. It shouldn't be news to anyone that building high-end cars requires high-end budgets. So don't hate the players; hate the game. In the meantime, enjoy their cars.
Tech NotesWhat: '69 Ford Mustang SportsRoofOwner: Sriyantha Weerasuria (aka S.W. )Hometown: Austin, Texas, which has the fewest Bubbas of any city in the state
Engine: These days, it's just as easy to make lots of power with a 351W as it is with an SBC. The factory block was cleaned up and fitted with an Eagle 4.00-inch crank, Eagle 6.125-inch rods, and JE 10.8:1 pistons. A Canton 7-quart oil pan holds the lube, and an MSD distributor provides the spark. On the pump, the Windsor serves up 547 hp at 6,400 rpm and 470 lb-ft at 4,300 rpm. Harold Hallam at Port Pros (Austin, Texas) did the machine work and assembly.
Camshaft: A Comp 250/256-at-0.050 hydraulic roller cam actuates the valves.
Heads: Port Pros mildly massaged the Edelbrock Victor castings.
Induction: The hoodscoop supplies fresh air to a Barry Grant Demon 750-cfm carb, which mates to an Edelbrock Victor Jr. intake manifold.
Exhaust: JBA 131/44-inch shorty headers coated by HPC dump into 3-inch collectors and a custom X-pipe. Dual Flowmaster mufflers dampen the exhaust pulses.
Transmission: Multiplying the torque is a Tremec TKO 600 five-speed gearbox. A QuickTime SFI-approved bellhousing houses a Spec clutch and flywheel, and a Hurst shifter actuates the shifts.
Rearend: DTS assembled the 9-inch rearend with 31-spline Mark Williams axles, 3.89:1 gears, and a Detroit Locker differential.
Suspension: Straight out of the Pro Touring playbook, the front suspension features tubular upper and lower control arms, 600 lb/in drop springs, a 171/48-inch sway bar, and urethane bushings, all from Global West. Out back there are CalTracs traction bars and a 1-inch Global West sway bar. De-arched factory rear leaf springs lower ride height by 4 inches, and KYB shocks tame the spring oscillations at each corner.
Brakes: Power-assisted Ford Motorsport two-piston calipers squeeze cross-drilled 13-inch rotors up front. Single-piston calipers and 12-inch rotors get the job done in the rear.
Wheels/Tires: The front Fikse FM5 wheels measure 18x8.5 inches and are paired with 245/40-18 BFGs. The rear inner wheelwells were massaged to provide clearance for the 295/35-18 tires, which wrap around 18x10-inch rollers.
Body: Starting with a rust-free car that had already been restored kept bodywork to a minimum. The doorskins were replaced, and the driprails, emblems, and antenna were shaved. Rodney Austin did the work and sprayed the car with Glasurit black.
Interior: While there are some modern upgrades, the interior retains its stock flavor. A Budnik steering wheel and in Alpine stereo add some modern flair but blend in nicely with the stock gauges and dash. Side bolsters were added to the stock seats, then covered in vinyl by Tico's Upholstery.

Have you ever wondered why Yogi Bhajan taught so many classes for women, but not for men? Actually, in 1978 he began teaching an annual course for men. Granted, these courses were not as long as the women's courses, but they were potent and effective. Yogiji gathered men together and challenged them with straight talk and hard exercise.
"Sitting among the men at Yogiji's Men's Courses was completely enthralling. No one moved while he spoke. An entire room full of men, each one unique, with completely diverse backgrounds, sitting in awestruck silence, with eyes on him. Then he would give us a kriya. Sweat would pour and tears would fall, potential would be achieved. Songs would resound in your cellular structure, and I don't think we were ever the same again. He always said that we would understand more in the future. We had never heard these words used to describe what we could be: gracious, respectful, contained, aware, sensitive, potent, learned, beautiful, and wise. This vision of man's true Self was nowhere in the mainstream media. After years of practice I still feel his teachings are as alive as ever and continue to sink in and touch me at greater depths." -Dharm S. Khalsa
Yogiji gave us an image of the Aquarian man: a man who is strong, kind, open-hearted, conscious of his word, and committed to his higher self. We had never before been given a vision of what it means to be a man of higher consciousness--respectful, gracious, self-contained, sensitive, wise, aware, and potent. We were immediately enthralled with his words that painted an image of what we could become using the technology of Kundalini Yoga.
Yogi Bhajan's teachings on Men can be found in Man to Man: A Journal of Discovery for the Conscious Man, available from KRI.

Google debuted its long awaited flight search Tuesday.
The new search, powered by the data and algorithms it got when it bought ITA Software for $700 million in April, can be found directly at Google.com/flights.
Trying out Google's take on flight search, one can see why traditional flight search engines feared the deal. Google has clearly integrated ITA's smart algorithms that make sense of ever-changing airline inventory with its massive search infrastructure.
The site's defining feature? Speed. Results from flight searches show up almost instantly—which comes as something of a miracle, given how accustomed we've all become to ten second-waits to find a cheap fare to Boise, Idaho.
Currently, booking a flight requires you to click over to an airline's site, which isn't always seamless since you may have to repick the exact flight when you hit the airline's page. The flight search also gives you the option to limit a search to only one airline, but in the case of choosing Virgin America, Google seemed to have no data.
Despite those limitations, one can only assume that there have been better days inside companies such as Expedia, Orbitz, Kayak, and Hipmunk.

Designing irrigation for greens and surrounds
Some golfers and superintendents argue that the golf green is the most important aspect of the game and should receive more care than tees, fairways or other parts of the golf course.
Many factors affect the look and performance of a green: initial construction, drainage, soil, air movement, height of cut, thatch and irrigation. However, this article focuses on just one: the design of proper irrigation for greens and their surrounds.
Green irrigation Designing irrigation for a green can be easy or difficult. The degree of difficulty is determined by the shape of the green and how it is framed by the golf hole. Are there mounds, slopes or water around the green? Where are the bunkers, if any? Many greens are easily irrigated with four sprinklers on a square 65-, 70- or 80-foot spacing, providing more than adequate coverage. However, many greens do not fit into a set spacing so simply. As with all turf-irrigation systems, you ideally should install sprinklers "head-to-head." This means the water being thrown from one sprinkler should just reach the sprinkler adjacent to it. For example, a sprinkler throwing water a radius of 65 feet should be no more than 65 feet from another sprinkler. With gear-drive sprinklers, it is not uncommon to see a 65-foot spacing with a sprinkler that throws 70 feet to make sure that the turf around the sprinkler is adequately watered. To compensate on a windy green, you should space sprinklers (with the same throw) even closer.
The first rule in irrigating a green: no sprinklers on the green. Many golf course superintendents also want to keep sprinklers off the green collar. To do this, place the sprinklers around the green at a set spacing.
For example, you may plan to space five sprinklers, each having a radius throw of 68 feet, 65 feet apart (see Figure 3, page Golf 16). Although this may work in many cases, you can see from the figure that the middle of the green is dry. This is because the green is more than 68 feet wide and the sprinklers are not spaced head-to-head in both directions. This is a common mistake in green design where large greens may require a bigger sprinkler to maintain head-to-head spacing. To irrigate properly, the sprinklers need to be spaced 70 feet apart and throw a minimum of about 74 feet (see Figure 4, page Golf 16).
With today's irrigation technology, the best way to select the proper spacing and sprinklers for a green is to model the sprinklers' distribution uniformity on a computer. Do this by using a sprinkler-distribution profile, which shows how the sprinkler distributes water over its radius of throw (see Figure 2, above). When you look at the distribution profile for a given sprinkler at a designated spacing, you can produce a computer-generated densogram showing the theoretical sprinkler-watering pattern. The densogram indicates wet areas as dark and dry areas as light.
You can use a densogram-which is unique for each specific sprinkler/nozzle/spacing/pressure combination-to determine uniformity measurements, including scheduling coefficient and distribution uniformity. Manufacturers and designers are most interested in the scheduling coefficient, which is an indicator of how much water is being wasted when irrigating, to insure that all of an irrigated area is receiving its minimum amount. For example, a scheduling coefficient of 1.4 means that in order for the whole irrigated area to receive 1 inch of water, 1.4 inches of water would need to be applied. Scheduling coefficients of 1.5 or below are desirable, with 1.2 to 1.3 considered ideal. High scheduling coefficients indicate poor uniformity, increased watering requirements and longer run times.
Be aware that if you change the sprinkler, nozzle, operating pressure or spacing, the densogram will also change. Sprinkler distribution profiles and densograms are available from sprinkler manufacturers and the Center for Irrigation Technology (CIT), an independent testing laboratory, in Fresno, Calif.
The sprinkler you select should also depend on the amount of water it uses and the operating pressure it requires. Most modern irrigation systems operate sprinklers at a pressure of 65 psi to 80 psi. The amount of water sprinklers use at these pressures is indicated in the manufacturer's product literature along with the radius of throw. Higher pressures provide a greater radius, but also increase water use.
Once you determine which sprinklers to use for the green (based on the size of the green and sprinkler uniformity), you need to decide how to control them. A basic green-watering system may have three to five full- or part-circle sprinklers to water the green (see Figure 1, page Golf 8). These sprinklers should operate until the green receives an adequate amount of water and then shut off. Or you may set them to operate until the areas surrounding the green, which may have a higher water requirement, are adequately watered.
To water only to the green requirement and to avoid supplemental hand-watering of the surrounds, you can install a supplemental irrigation system with a second set of part-circle sprinklers to apply additional water to the surrounding areas to meet their higher water requirement as well as to deal with what is commonly a different soil type than the green. There are several ways to separate the green and surrounds watering. The approach you use may depend on the superintendent's management style or the geographic location of the golf course. The two most common approaches are: 1. full-circle sprinklers for green and surround watering and part-circle out sprinklers for surrounds only; and 2. part-circle sprinklers throwing in for the green and part-circles throwing out for the surrounds.
Valve-in-head As you design an irrigation system around the green, you also need to consider other factors besides the sprinkler types and locations. In a valve-in-head system, the piping loop around the green (which usually uses 2-inch pipe) will be pressurized at all times. The looped system allows all the green sprinklers to receive close to the same pressure, which results in better water distribution over the green (although elevation changes will alter pressure slightly).
Some superintendents are uncomfortable with pressurized pipe under their greens, so you may need to use a block design for the sprinklers, using an electric valve situated away from the green or a green master valve. You can also design the system so that the green and surrounds sprinklers can share piping, or so that the piping for each set of sprinklers is independent. Independent piping will provide for greater isolation, as the green sprinklers and surround sprinklers will then have their own isolation.
Another important aspect of green-irrigation design is the number and location of quick-coupling valves. Quick couplers allow you to attach a hose to the irrigation pipeline for hand-watering and syringing. Conventional design calls for you to install one quick coupler on the pressurized side of the green-isolation valve. This allows you to hand water if you need to shut down the green piping system for repairs. In the past few years it has become popular to install an additional quick coupler on the other side or the approach of the green. You may install this quick coupler after the green-isolation valve on the green piping, or install a separate pipe for it so that it is still pressurized even if the green-piping system is not. Most superintendents want quick couplers spaced at the green so that a hose for hand-watering needs to be no more than 100 feet long.
The control of the sprinklers is an important part of the green- and surround-irrigation-system design. It is important that you take into consideration all aspects of the green including turfgrass type, slope, soil and green construction. Individual control of each green sprinkler gives the superintendent maximum versatility. By having individual control, the superintendent can fine-tune the amount of water supplied in each area of the green, taking into account the slope of the green and also sun and shade effects.
However, this does not eliminate the need to hand-water, as the green could have hot spots or drainage problems due to its construction. Many superintendents prefer to hand-syringe greens to water more precisely instead of using the irrigation system. Surrounds sprinklers can be valve-in-head, dual control or blocked all at once. Your decision on which to use will depend on cost and how much control you need. Small- and medium-size sprinklers may require block valves, as valve-in-head is not available in these sizes, but you can group the sprinklers into as many areas as desired (see Figure 1).
The automatic irrigation-system design of a green and its surrounds depends on many factors including the sprinkler type, pressure, pipe size and spacing. With modern irrigation systems, you can and should treat the greens and surrounds separately. However, the method you use will depend on the available budget, type of green, geographic location of the golf course and the management style of the superintendent. Many different types of sprinklers and other irrigation equipment are available to do the job properly.

I have a fashion question: What's a pencil skirt? Everyone's talking about them; they seem to be the new rage. How is it I don't know what one is? Do you?
Dear Michael,
I'm getting married and have invited a few out-of-state guests to the wedding. My mom said I have to invite them to the rehearsal dinner. I don't know how to present that idea to my mother-in-law, since she's paying for the dinner. What is the proper etiquette, and how should I discuss this with my in-laws?Signed, The Perfect Bride Dear Ms. Perfection,
If you don't offer them a place to have dinner, where are they going to eat? Yeah, you have to do something. You can't expect them to be on their own when their not familiar with the surroundings; in other words, a fish out of water. As far as discussing it with your in-laws, offer to pay; add them to the list and pick up that portion. And then if not, prepare a little basket in their hotel room, fill it with fun things to do and a small gift certificate to your favorite restaurant accompanied with a reservation. And include them in any after rehearsal dinner party.Love Your Diva, Michael Dear Michael,
I have a fashion question: What's a pencil skirt? Everyone's talking about them; they seem to be the new rage. How is it I don't know what one is? Do you?Signed, Ms. Fashion Wannabe Dear Wannabe,

- Duración: 3 Horas (aproximadamente)
- Ubicación: Taranna, Tasmania
- Código de producto: DTR
Take a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go behind the scenes and become part of the vital research effort to help save the last isolated, natural population of healthy Tasmanian devils on the planet.
The Tasmanian Nature Company's Devil Tracker Adventure is a fully-guided four-wheel drive tour through private farmland and native bush to see first hand how Tasmanian devil numbers are being tracked and monitored. Led by our experienced guides, you'll be taken to a wild devil feeding site to help monitor the progress of the local population of healthy wild devils, observe recorded devil activity and record the latest findings from our hi-tech infrared cameras.
During this 1.5 hour experience, your guide will lead you to our Devil Tracker Station, set on the edge of native forest. You'll learn about the healthy Tasmanian devils living in isolation on the Tasman Peninsula and The Tasmanian Nature Company's role in the fight to preserve and protect the species. You'll discover the intimate habitat relationship between natural bush and farmland, how to identify wildlife highways and discover traces of nocturnal wildlife activity. Then, you'll have the opportunity to visit a hidden camera site in the forest and to identify and monitor vital devil activity and health data by downloading the latest images from our cameras and recording the nightly record of devil activity.

Robopocalypse spent a few years in Steven Spielberg's development pipeline, but with an official April 25, 2014 release date, the movie is set to be Spielberg's next directorial project after Lincoln. One key component is still missing: a leading man. According to Deadline, Spielberg wants Chris Hemsworth to fill those shoes. There is no official offer on the table yet, but Hemsworth has proven himself as a credible and charismatic (not to mention marketable) action lead, so it's no wonder Spielberg is smitten.
Daniel H. Wilson's source novel takes place in a future where "artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication." The report does not mention which role Hemsworth is up for, but the book synopsis mentions an "isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a 'pacification unit' go haywire." That seems like a good fit—any readers care to offer better insight? Read that book synopsis for Robopocalypse after the jump.
They are in your house. They are in your car. They are in the skies…Now they're coming for you.
In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us. Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans – a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing "smart" toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. soldier who witnesses a 'pacification unit' go haywire – but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late.
When the Robot War ignites — at a moment known later as Zero Hour — humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. [Amazon]
Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods) adapted the screenplay.

Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas revealed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that she was abused by former team doctor Larry Nassar, who is expected to plead guilty to criminal charges on Wednesday, NBC News reported.
The disclosure came in a new apology for a tweet last week in which Douglas said, in a response to Aly Raisman talking about sexual abuse victims, that women have a responsibility to dress modestly because "dressing in a provocative/sexual way entices the wrong crowd." She later apologized on Twitter.
"I didn't view my comments as victim shaming because I know that no matter what you wear, it NEVER gives anyone the right to harass or abuse you," she wrote in her Instagram statement.
A representative for the Olympian confirmed the authenticity of the post and that Douglas says she was molested by Nassar, who was first publicly accused of preying on athletes more than a year ago. In her post, Douglas explained why she had not joined the other accusers until now.

LastPass Password Manager (for Android)
LastPass Password Manager (for Android)
- Slick new interface with subtle usability tweaks.
- Lots of options for password generation.
- Integrated browser leverages more LastPass features.
- Copy notifications.
- Fills login credentials on the Web and in apps.
- Form fill profiles.
- Safe password sharing.
- Secure notes.
- Emergency Access feature for bequeathing passwords.
- Lacks the ability to fill Web forms outside the built-in browser.
- Some difficulty finding passwords in pop-up.
- Cannot share folders from app.
Bottom LineWith the LastPass Android app, you can access all of your complex, unique passwords wherever you are and easily hand them over to someone else should you become incapacitated.
It's nearly impossible to keep track of all the logins and passwords you need for every app and website, which is why you should be using a password manager like LastPass—even on your mobile device. This excellent Android app lets you easily access your personal information and passwords wherever you are. You can also use it to create new entries, share passwords securely, and even bequeath your passwords to someone else. It's a great value, and an easy PCMag Editors' Choice.
Pricing, Setup, and Security
Setting up a new LastPass account from an Android device is remarkably simple. Just download the free app from the Google Play store, enter an email address, and create a unique master password that will be used to secure all your other passwords. This, in theory, is the only password you need to memorize once you start using LastPass, so make it a good one. I had no trouble starting from scratch on my Nexus 5 or logging into an existing account on my Nexus 6.
When you create a LastPass account on a smartphone, you can sync those passwords among any smartphones you own, for free. If you want to use a computer or a tablet in addition to your Android, you'll have to pay $12 a year for LastPass Premium. There are few other perks to a Premium account, but that's the most important one for Android users. Creating a new account with Dashlane is a bit more tedious, but the app starts out by importing all your passwords from other machines. It takes a bit of work, but Dashlane lets you really hit the ground running.
LastPass also supports a variety of two-factor authentication options, such as Duo Mobile and Google Authenticator. The app can also be unlocked with a fingerprint reader, should your Android device include one. For more on the advanced features, be sure to read our full LastPass review.
In the last few years, we've seen LastPass weather some security storms. One came from a problem with the Windows desktop app which left information exposed in memory. A more recent incident was far more serious: Hackers were able to extract encrypted data from LastPass's servers, but weren't able to decrypt it. (LastPass uses AES-256 encryption.) In both cases, I was impressed with how quickly and honestly LastPass dealt with the crises. No service is completely bulletproof, so I think it's important to judge companies by how they respond to attacks and breaches.
Using LastPass
Along with the Web version of LastPass, the Android app has been updated with new features and a more refined interface. The app now moves much more smoothly than before, and features big, colorful icons that make it easier to differentiate between entries. It's a welcome design refresh that looks thoroughly Android.
But the Android version gets several features not afforded to iPhones (though an update for iPhone users is coming very soon). For example, LastPass on Android has long supported copy notifications—shortcuts in your notifications list that copy the username and password with a tap. The current version of LastPass goes even further, displaying a pop-up window in Chrome, which matches the website you are visiting to an existing LastPass entry or letting you search for a different entry. LastPass also supports InBrowser, Opera, Javelin, and Javin; and has limited support for Boat, Yandex, HTC Sense, Dolphin, Silk, and Ghostery Private Browser. Plug-ins are available for Firefox Mobile. Dashlane doesn't include this feature, although both it, and LastPass, can fill your login information into apps—a handy trick for Android users.
The autofill window works well in my experience, though I sometimes get annoyed at having the pop-up in my face. That's fine: you can suppress the autofill window on specific apps or turn it off entirely. You can also search your LastPass archive for entries you've already saved and launch them like bookmarks using the browser included within LastPass.
LastPass form-filling profiles automatically fill the blanks in online forms with personal information such as name, address, bank account, credit card number, and so on. They're great for creating new accounts or making purchases. As of this writing, filling forms only works within the built-in LastPass browser. That's disappointing, but it's still more convenient than filling in the information by hand. I really like that if you fill in a form with new information while using the LastPass browser, LastPass offers to save it as a new entry. Even when you use the app to generate a new password.
If you're using a form-fill profile to create a new account, you'll probably need a strong password to go with it. Never fear, as LastPass includes its excellent password generator in the Android app. With just a new tap, you're given a unique, complex password. Of course, you should have the longest and most-complex password the site or app will allow, so LastPass has options for password length, pronounceability, use of capital and lowercase letters, how many numbers to add, whether or not to include special characters, and whether to avoid ambiguous characters like O and 0.
I really like how LastPass handles creating new entries and saving generated passwords. Just tap the Plus button in the lower right to create an entry for a website, a Secure Note, or a new Form Fill Profile. You then fill in the information, generate a new password, and save. I particularly like that LastPass automatically suggests URLs as you create your entries, so your Twitter password is linked immediately to Twitter. Alternatively, you can just generate a new password from the hidden left tray and save it as a new entry or overwrite an existing one.
One of the most-powerful features in LastPass is sharing, and the same is true for the Android app. Generally, sharing passwords is a really bad idea, but you may share a bank account with a partner or a Twitter account with a work colleague. LastPass lets you share individual passwords, or whole folders of passwords, with other LastPass users. Brilliantly, LastPass can share the entry without revealing the password. This lets you share access but keep the actual password obscured. While you can share individual passwords from the Android App, you can only modify the permissions of your shared folder from the app. To create that shared folder, you need to use LastPass' website.
Dashlane has long included a digital legacy tool to pass on your passwords to a trusted individual or individuals should you become incapacitated or die. LastPass has followed suit with a tool called Emergency Access. Like Dashlane, LastPass lets you select how long the person has to wait before he or she can access your information. It's a neat little fail-safe that ensures your heir can't grab access to your passwords before you've passed on.
An Essential Tool
Though they are irritatingly ubiquitous, passwords matter a lot. One weak, recycled password can lead to a domino effect in which an attacker gains control of every service that uses the same password. If that includes your email, you're in real trouble because now the attacker can use the "forgot my password" link on websites to start changing passwords and locking you out. That's why it's critically important that you have unique passwords for each and every site and app you use, so please, for security's sake, get a password manager.
And when it comes to password managers, LastPass is hard to beat. It offers excellent tools, including ones specially made for mobile users. Its Premium tier is affordable, and its free service extremely generous. Features like password sharing and digital legacy mean that you can finally share passwords in a smart and secure way. That's why LastPass continues to be our top pick for Android password manager.

Right on, right on
Right on, right on
[Verse 1]
Laid back, villain on the smooth tip
All things gravy, greatest fear to let the groove slip
Always tell the masses that it's never gon' stop
Cause you never gon' do shit
Magnify justice over long lost blues riffs
Mop up, sop up the tears for fears with a Q-tip
They proceeds to poke out they eyes with a toothpick
Remember when Larenz Tate beat Terrence with the pool stick
Or when Caine pistol whipped Chauncy and that fool snitched
Sent the tape to Bill Duke, would've went to jail
If he wouldn't have got killed in that drive-by by the dude he kicked
Cuz he was like, "It ain't mine"
And she was like, "You the only guy that I do it with"
Remember when 'Pac and Q start fightin' over Steel's house
They broke a vase, Steel scream, Raheem told 'em to chill out
The jheri curl Blood that bumped Ricky eating chips
The same guy they was looking for when Ice Cube stopped to let Cuba out the whip
And wan' it sad how Loco had the habit?
And wan' it funny when they caught T-Bone, dancing with that rabbit
Didn't Rocket have the same gun that the old man shot OG Bobby Johnson's son in the back with
Or do I got it backwards
And Bobby Johnson was the one that put his fist up to the glass
And Caine put his fist up and dapped it
And Chicago and Regina had sex inside the mail truck
They left his ass, he reached down to get his hairbrush
And Tré lied to Furious, sitting down get his hair cut
Yeah, do you remember these
Double burger with cheese
Double burger with cheese
Double burger with cheese, huh
[Verse 2]
Caine told him as he jacked him at the drive-thru
A hundred bucks will tell who Radames put the knife to
Another hundred for the cop who chased New Jersey Drive crew
The group who took Ricky ball, Crip or Piru
Kicked Doughboy and told him he could buy a hundred balls
Little Bobby used his bed to iron out his overalls
Who knew in a few he would have a gun aimed
Caine had a nigga's Daytons skatin' on his Mustang
'Member when the whole crowd stopped and got tense
Then they cheered when Steel put his hand up on the fence
Then when Gee Money first got married to the cocaine
And Chris Tucker OD'ed there watching Soul Train
Cam'ron shot him in the car and took his gold chain
Nino was free till he met up with that old man
And Ice-T was there and he oversaw the whole thing
Mello lost his legs just to get up out the dope game
Why he throw his gun into the river, though?
Just to hit the roof to get the juice and let Bishop go
Show Hodges love, but the Pac Man day came
'Specially after sprayed little ese with the spray paint
'Member when Bobby took off his tear
And when Doughboy disappeared
After his brother died and he said nobody cared
I still do, after all these years
Because he should've played ball
Ricky ain't deserve none of that at all
These are just a illustration
Of a few scenes that helped raise a generation
Yeah, do you remember these
Double burger with cheese
Double burger with cheese
Double burger with cheese, huh
[Outro: Menace II Society excerpt]
Lupe reminisces on the movies that helped create a generation. The title could also be a play on the whole concept of this song. These movies were good and entertaining upon watching them, but in the long run, too many of them painted a stereotype that was detrimental to the masses. In the same way fast food double burgers with cheese are tasty upon eating them, but too many of them are detrimental to your health in the long run. These movies are in fact "double burgers with cheese."
This fan-made video shows all the references in the song:
This song is over the instrumental of Justice's "Ohio."

In a 33-0 vote, the state senate approved Chelsea's Law Tuesday, sending the legislation to the governor's desk.
The Senate Appropriations Committee unanimously approved an amended version of the bill on Aug. 12, which was named after Chelsea King, the 17-year-old Poway senior who was raped and murdered by convicted sex offender John Gardner.
The bill, authored by local Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, includes a one strike provision for the most violent sex offenders and lengthier prison terms for forcible sex crimes.
The Kings, who have moved to the Chicago area this summer, have been very public in their support of the bill. They consider the support the legislation has received "a testament to our daughter's powerful legacy, to the passionate voices of Californians who care about children and to the legislative process which exists to carry out the will of the people," according to a family statement.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
On the Facebook page for Chelsea's Light, the foundation created by the King family, many people commented on the news.
"That's wonderful. I hope this gets many more of these creeps off the street," posted Rochelle Fechtner-Dahlheimer.
"Amazing, just amazing. I am so happy to see Chelsea is still changing the world we live in!" wrote Tina McDermott.
Caroline Clark Martin posted, " I could not think of a more meaningful way to honor Chelsea."
Chelsea's Law -- now known as Assembly Bill 1844 -- required a two-thirds vote to pass.
