Click read more to find out why im calling this project scrap metal.
So the Great
-Brand new top
-Mint Glass all the way around
-hard to find trunk in good shape
-it was only $300 (I mean really an S13 vert for like an xbox and two games? sold!)
The good
-doors are ok
-doesnt seem to be any leaks
-clean GA title
-dash is in good shape (only one crack)
Also the front is not damaged and includes suspension, steering, and uncut harness, however...
The Bad!!
-it has no front end (but a jdm front clip will surly fix that)
-Passenger side panel is fucked with a capital F. (like this...Fucked!)
(so fucked that dog wont even look at it)
-the suspension arm is bent, doesnt seem like the mounts are, just the arm and the seller threw in a extra one of those anyways.
Note: the passenger door closes and opens perfect, so theres that, but the B pillar back will need a whole new panel and probably some 5lb mallet massaging.
So Im calling this project scrap metal because.... well..... I really really want this car to live, but if I cut of that quarter panel out and the body underneath has been damaged (say a really bent b-pillar) ill have to part it and scrap it (which will reimburse me a couple of times over at least) I love S13's and always wanted one, and for some reason I only wanted a vert. I know they are heavy and weak, but a full roll cage (which is 10 times easier to weld in a vert) and removal of the vert top (to sell) will put it in to normal s13 territory. Plus it will have no roof, which makes it 10 times cooler. Hopefully racefriv can salvage this car and bring it back to life, even if that means some widebody fenders, and jdm front end, a cage, and an Ls1. I took things a little softly on the AE86 because I consider it a future classic (it already is) but I dont have the same feeling for s13s so I feel pretty free to go all out with the welder and cutting wheel. Ill keep you posted on how things are going, and let everyone know pretty soon the fate of Project Scrap Metal. (crossing fingers)

China will not issue the statistical index assessing the "Green GDP" in the near future, a Chinese government official said.
As most of the items used to assess green GDP are untradable, it is difficult for those indices to be formulated, the China Securities Journal quoted a senior official with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) as saying.
For example, the environmental index is affected by regional factors to a large extent, said the official, whose name is not disclosed in the report.
In the 11th Five-Year Plan, the concept of "Green GDP" was highly stressed. The program not only sets goals of curbing pollution but also pledges to achieve economic development on an environmentally-friendly basis.
The research for building a scientific green GDP assessing framework is underway and is taking shape, said the official.
The NBS is designing the index in a way that takes into account people's satisfaction with their life, the environment and society, in contrast to a more traditional index that only evaluates economic development.
China's Gini Index exceeds the international warning line of 0.4 mainly due to the large gap between the income of urban and rural residents.
China's higher Gini Index should be calculated according to the country's particular conditions. Calculated individually, the Gini Index of the urban residents and the rural residents is still below 0.4, he said.
Gini Index is an index assessing the fairness level of the income distribution of a country.

You might have noticed a visible sigh from Jay Hieron (21-4 MMA, 2-0 BFC) when he was announced the winner in a fight with Brent Weedman (18-6-1 MMA, 4-1 BFC) this past Saturday at Bellator 40.
Some might say that sigh was an acknowledgment that he'd just dodged a bullet.
But that's not the case, Hieron on Monday told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). It was a sigh of happy exhaustion.
"It's good to go through fights like that – to dig deep and know what you're made of, and that's what I had to do Saturday," he said.
Hieron does admit Weedman gave him all he could handle in the semifinals of the promotion's season-four welterweight tournament. But he said those who think he lost the fight, which aired on MTV2 from First Council Casino in Newkirk, Okla., don't know what they're watching.
"I'm a counter-fighter," Hieron said. "I was going backward, but I was making my shots count."
To the untrained eye, Hieron's constant circling might represent a fighter folding to the aggression of his opponent. On the contrary, the Strikeforce, Affliction and UFC vet said his strategy was tailored toward Weedman.
"I was in defense mode for a reason," Hieron said. "His whole style is just straight forward, straight at you. A guy like that, you want to use angles. I was using angles, finding spots where I could hit him, and [moving]."
That doesn't mean running from a fight, he stressed. There were, however, a few what-if thoughts running through his mind when the two were assembled in the center of the cage for the judges' decision. As a veteran, he knew that some judges didn't understand the concept of counter-fighting. But there was also the thrill of getting a good fight, which he hadn't felt in more than a year, back when he took on Joe Riggs in Strikeforce.
When scores favored him unanimously, he felt validated for a hard night's work.
"He was more aggressive coming forward, but I was doing more damage," Hieron said. "It's good that the judges know what they're watching sometimes.
"I felt great that I had a great fight like that. I believed I won the fight. There's going to be some people that disagree with me. That's on them."
Hieron now advances to the finals of the tournament, where he'll meet former Olympic judoka Rick Hawn, a guy he calls "tough."
Now that he has a grueling fight under his belt, Hieron feels more ready than ever to win the tournament and earn the right to meet welterweight champion Ben Askren, who defeated Nick Thompson in the headliner of this past Saturday's event.
"Sometimes it goes smooth out there; sometimes it's a grind," Hieron said. "Lucky for me, I know how to do both. I'm prepared for 15 (minutes). I'm prepared for 25."
Askren already has taken a few potshots at Hieron, and some fans and MMA observers feel a meeting between them is all but inevitable.
Hieron, though, said he's taking things one fight at a time. Until he gets past Hawn, Askren isn't on his radar. The champ can talk all he wants.
"I've still got a fight ahead of me, and then we'll be preparing for him," Hieron said of the champ. "I think that's just his character. I saw him at the press conference, and I just told him, 'Hey, if I want somebody to lay on me, I'll call my girlfriend up.' So that's the end of the story."

Lucy's learned some important lessons from tabloid darling Jayla Heart's all-too-public blunders: Avoid the spotlight, don't feed the Internet trolls, and keep your secrets secret. The policy has served Lucy well all through high school, so when her best friend Ellie gets sick before prom and begs her to step in as Cole's date, she accepts with a smile, silencing about ten different reservations. Like the one where she'd rather stay home shredding online zombies. And the one where she hates playing dress-up. Andespecially the one where she's been secretly in love with Cole since the dawn of time.
When Cole surprises her at the after party with a kiss under the stars, it's everything Lucy has ever dreamed of… and the biggest BFF deal-breaker ever. Despite Cole's lingering sweetness, Lucy knows they'll have to 'fess up to Ellie. But before they get the chance, Lucy's own Facebook profile mysteriously explodes with compromising pics of her and Cole, along with tons of other students' party indiscretions. Tagged. Liked. And furiously viral.
By Monday morning, Lucy's been branded a slut, a backstabber, and a narc, mired in a tabloid-worthy scandal just weeks before graduation.
Lucy's been battling undead masses online long enough to know there's only one way to survive a disaster of this magnitude: Stand up and fight. Game plan? Uncover and expose the Facebook hacker, win back her best friend's trust, and graduate with a clean slate.
There's just one snag—Cole. Turns out Lucy's not the only one who's been harboring unrequited love..
My Review:
I absolutely, positively ADORED the first half of #Scandal by Sarah Ockler. I thought that it was super cute and totally original. Coming from someone who's not the biggest fan of contemporary, that's a huge compliment. There was no doubt in my mind that this was going to be a 4 or 4.5 star review. I was so ready to start promoting and gushing about it. And that's when things started to go downhill during the second half of the book.
My biggest complaint with this book was how freaking dramatic it was. It was so drama filled that I was rolling my eyes every two seconds. Now, I know that this book is set in a high school setting, and high school is dramatic, but oh my goodness. There was only so much that I could take. Seriously. It was drama after drama after drama, and I was just burnt out.
My second complaint was how unfreakingrealistic this book was. I'm not talking about the scandal. Obviously that could happen and all the fall outs from that. And if that was the ONLY thing going on, I probably would have finished the book and adored it. But the author started throwing in a famous sister and letting the students run the school and having the school faculty doing stuff that would never really happen in real life….and it got to be too much. Realistically, no one would have ever kept Lucy's secret about her sister. That whole thing was just eye roll worthy. And as a teacher, I had to question where the author was coming from with some of the things that went on in the school. If this was a paranormal book, I might have looked past it. However, this is a contemporary book. And contemporary to me means that it has to be fairly realistic. This wasn't.
My third complaint with this book was the bullying. I was very uncomfortable reading about it. It also was a trigger for me at times and brought back some memories. I don't think there was anything wrong with having it in the book, but I definitely didn't like reading about it.
Finally, I didn't care for the characters all that much. Probably because they were all super dramatic. I think that this is going to be a great book for a younger audience and maybe for some diehard contemporary lovers, but it just wasn't for me. Again, I think that if a couple elements were eliminated from this book it would be awesome. But it was just too much.

Indoor Tanning May Increase Melanoma Risks
Skin cancer in its various types is one of the most commonly diagnosed forms of this disease in the United States. Long linked to overexposure to the sun's harmful rays, this disease is highly preventable in many cases. While using sun block and avoiding burns are the most common recommendations for prevention, new research is shedding light on something else to avoid. It seems indoor tanning beds have been strongly connected to an increased melanoma risk in those who opt for this alternative for gaining darker colored skin.
The most recent study related to this topic found that women under the age of 30 who used tanning beds were about six times more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma than others. The research strongly points to a need for caution in those who seek alternative means to gain a tan.
To arrive at their findings, researchers focused in on nearly 700 patients who were diagnosed with melanoma between 2004 and 2007. Another 650 control patients were included in the study, as well. All study participants were between the ages of 25 and 49. Men were included in the study, but women, the predominate users of tanning beds, made up about 68 percent of each group. The researchers found men were much less likely to use beds for tanning.
Another interesting finding that that about 30 percent of the women diagnosed with melanoma prior to the age of 30 saw their cancer originate on the trunk.
Skin cancer is generally considered highly preventable if people take care about their levels of UV exposure. The study, however, points to a need for those who use indoor tanning beds to limit their exposure to help prevent melanoma. The study did not look at the length of exposure involved prior to melanoma diagnosis.
Anyone who has been over-exposed to the sun is technically at risk for the development of skin cancer in its various forms. To find out more, be sure to speak with a healthcare provider. Visual screening can lead to early detection of this disease and potentially lifesaving treatments.

I have discovered the most fun thing. Now granted, it is after 10:00pm, in Indiana, and according to Master Daughter, I am not to be held responsible for any Blog I post after 10:00pm. Even without any dippers of Jose Cuervo, I can find humor. And, the Tag Cloud thingy I clicked to show on my Blog today is hysterical.
Just take random words and put them together. It's like poetry. So, I'm reading the tags and just having all kinds of ideas for new Blogs. It's a font of inspiration.
So, here is a sample of my Tag Clouds:
Chicago Chihuahua: Now, are Chihuahua's different in Chicago than they are in Denver? I mean, Chihuahua's in Wyoming have to be black and wear bandanas around their necks. You can't even buy a pickup truck in Wyoming without proof of black dog ownership. The Bandana may be a Colorado thing, now that I think of it. Wyomingites don't want to admit they might have a dog for fun. (No offense, I love Wyoming)
FLDS food foolishness: Do I need to type anything here? Maybe something like, food can't be red: it's either the mark of the Devil or of blood, so that means you can't eat apples (unless you get a heathen to peel them) or tomatoes. What about strawberries and watermelon. Is life worth living without strawberries and watermelon?
Hone Schooling humor: Gosh, what I could do with this. Now, all you homeschoolers, I know people who do a fantastic job homeschooling; unfortunately, I know too many people who have no business homeschooling. So, look at yourself and only be offended if you are in the last group and don't write me nasty letters if you know darn well you are doing an excellent job. But, most of the home schooling parents I met had NO sense of humor. I think I'll stop there before I say something I'll regret in the morning and then it will be raining, in Indiana, and I won't be able to go on and delete it and pretend I didn't say it and I'll get hate mail Blogs.
Indiana knitting: Perhaps we could repair our infrastructure that way. When it rains in Indiana you get a party line phone line. It doesn't take rain to lose power. That happens once a month whether you want it to or not. The water main is the best; it only breaks every other month.
Polygamy pottery: Is that a coffee pot with eight coffee cups? Could it be a set with one large bowl and eight cereal bowls? Or a tea pot and eight teacups?
Wisconsin writing: That would be the hilarious Blog my niece would have. I will try to get her to join the family Blog-a-thon when I'm up there for the next family wedding.
Okay, I'm going to bed now. Hope I don't hate myself in the morning.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 13, 2015 — Bit by bit. Piece by piece. President Obama is chipping away at the bedrock of the United States by sculpting, buffing, chiseling and reshaping the Constitution in his own image. Obama has become the Michelangelo of politics.
His strategy is working. Create enough diversion and controversy over large issues so he can customize the foundation of the country by adjusting smaller items that eventually accumulate into something significant.
Case in point: On July 21, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced "modifications" to the Oath of Allegiance required by immigrants before they become naturalized citizens.
If it made the news, it slipped largely under the radar thanks to the more tantalizing stories of Donald Trump and the Republicans, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats and whatever Kim Kardashian was doing at the time.
The altered story that most of the media covered had three versions: President Obama directly ordered a modification of the oath of allegiance; Obama changed the Pledge of Allegiance; and a new policy changed the oath to affect all newly naturalized American citizens. None of those is factual.
What is true, however, is that the oath has been changed in such a way that naturalized citizens of the United States now have the right to conscientiously object to military service.
So, as the little old lady at the fast-food restaurant used to ask, "Where's the beef?"
On the surface the change appears to be insignificant. Insignificant, that is, until you consider the modifications are particularly useful for Islamists entering the U.S. Islamic law allows for Muslims to pretend they are obeying the laws of infidel societies, especially when they are in the vast minority.
This column has mentioned the process on numerous occasions. It is called taqiyya, or in more direct terms, lying in order to gain advantage or buy time.
Sharia Law allows Muslims to break promises to non-Muslims, particularly when they are at a disadvantage. First and foremost Muslims must always be loyal to Islam and lying (taqiyya) is permitted, most especially when they non-Islamic institutions or persons are the higher authority. Taking an oath, making a vow or giving their word to infidels is no different for an Islamist than a drug addict or alcoholic promising to no longer participate in their preferred vice.
Because of the modification, naturalized citizens of the United States can now claim to be conscientious objectors to military service, which, in itself, is an oxymoron because the core belief of Islamic jihad is to eliminate non-Muslims at all costs.
Thus, Obama's latest nuance in his great American reshaping process is to make it that much easier for non-natives to use religion as an excuse to avoid defending the country in which they have now claimed citizenship. It is more of the politically correct mumbo-jumbo of the Obama administration to continue enabling Muslims with greater freedoms in our country.
Verse, or surah, 3:28 of the Koran says, "Let not believers make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful — he that does this has nothing to hope for from God — except in self-defense. God admonishes you to fear Him: for God to all shall return."
Unlike many verses in the Koran, the words of Chapter 3:28 are self-explanatory, but according to an interpretation by Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tarabri, a prominent Persian scholar in the 10th century, "If you (Muslims) are under their (non-Muslims') authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them with your tongue while harboring inner animosity for them … (know that) Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels rather than other believers—except when infidels are above them (in authority). Should that be the case, let them act friendly towards them while preserving their religion."
In other words, an American Muslim, whether a native of the country or a naturalized citizen, is, first and foremost, loyal to the Koran and fellow Muslims.
Despite the largely inaccurate, though mostly unnoticed reporting, about Obama's Oath of Allegiance alterations, Muslims now have greater power and justification for using their religion as a means to disobey American federal law.
It took Michelangelo four years to sculpt The David. It has taken Barack Obama six and half years to radically chisel away at the United States Constitution.
That's because it was simpler for the great Italian master. He began with an imperfect slab of marble. Obama had to reshape his masterpiece from an existing creation and morph it into something entirely different.
Modifying the oath of allegiance might not be as sexy as to the media as Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly firing insults at each other, but it carries far more dangerous implications.

Majors, minors & more
College of Arts and Sciences
- Offered as:
- Specialization track in Anthropology
Archaeology is available at WSU as an area of specialization in the anthropology major. Anthropology is the study of human life in all places and at all times, addressing the most fundamental questions about human origins and human nature.
Archaeology is the most popular concentration in anthropology at WSU; the University is internationally known for its archaeological research.
- Strengths of the program
- The flexible degree program lets you concentrate in cultural anthropology, linguistics, archaeology, or physical anthropology — or receive a broad background in all four.
- Do research in the field: anthropology students can join WSU faculty at field sites in western North America for cultural, linguistic, archaeological, and physical anthropological research.
- Your professors are experts in the evolution of cooperation and sharing, cultural ecology, education, religion, international development, and stone-tool manufacturing.
- The Anthropology Club brings faculty and students together in various activities.
- At the weekly public colloquium, you can hear from faculty, advanced graduate students, and visiting experts who are there to share their work.
- Featured courses and hands-on learning
As an anthropology major concentrating in archaeology, you'll take core courses like these:
- Peoples of the World
- Introduction to Archaeology
- Introduction to Physical Anthropology
- Integrative Themes in Anthropology
- One 300- or 400-level course in each of the four subdisciplines:
Physical Anthropology
Cultural Anthropology
The core courses also include three electives of your choice. If you're concentrating in archaeology, you can use these electives to go deeper into the areas that interest you. There are many specialized archaeology courses you can choose from.
The University also offers hands-on opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere. You can do field work as part of a faculty-led team at various sites in the western U.S. and get research experience in nationally respected labs on campus.
Note: See the WSU Catalog for degree requirements and talk with your academic advisor about planning and scheduling your courses. All students must meet requirements as outlined in the catalog in order to graduate.
- Scholarships and financial aid
A variety of state, federal, and university-sponsored programs are available to help students with educational costs.
For archaeology students
All anthropology/archaeology majors are eligible to be considered for more than $50,000 in scholarships awarded by the WSU College of Liberal Arts.
For all WSU students
Washington State University awards millions of dollars in financial aid and scholarships to students every year based on financial need, academic merit, or a combination of the two.
To be eligible for WSU scholarships, complete the University's general scholarship application. Also be sure to complete the FAFSA to ensure your eligibility for the widest range of scholarships and need-based financial aid.
For information or to apply for financial aid and scholarships from WSU, see the Scholarships and Finances section of the WSU website.
- Research opportunities at WSU facilities
Students are welcomed in the University's anthropological research facilities. University research labs and museums offer the chance for paid employment and valuable hands-on experience in anthropological techniques.
The University has leading national labs for:
- Palynology — identification of pollens for reconstruction of past environments
- Zooarchaeology — identification and interpretation of animal bones from archaeology sites
- Geoarchaeology — study and interpretation of sediments from archaeology sites
- Lithic technology — analysis and interpretation of stone tools
WSU is one of the few schools where students can learn to replicate stone tools, which makes it possible to interpret the stone tools and waste flakes found in archaeological sites.
The Museum of Anthropology offers employment and volunteer opportunities for students. Its exhibits and activities enrich instruction and draw the public. The museum's collections include aboriginal baskets of notable importance from several areas of the western United States and collections resulting from the activities of WSU archaeologists during the last 40 years.
- Careers in anthropology
Training in anthropology and archaeology provides an excellent liberal arts background for many professions. WSU anthropology graduates are employed in museums, the National Park Service, archaeological crews, the Peace Corps, and other international development organizations.
Anthropology gives you an understanding of human diversity that is also useful in jobs that don't require an anthropology degree. A major in anthropology is an excellent basis for teaching, legal professions, international business, foreign service, and graduate work in other social sciences or the humanities.
What you can do with a degree in anthropology:
- Archaeologist, museum curator
- Local and international environmental impact consultant
- Forensic anthropologist
- Government service
- University professor, teacher
- Writer, journalist
- International business consultant
- Cultural impact consultant

- Research skills in quantitative and qualitative data gathering and analysis
- Cultural awareness and sensitivity
- Intellectual curiosity
- Ability to work solo or as a team member
- Effective written and oral communication skills
- Reading and listening comprehension
- Time management and organization

What factors can affect your Motor Insurance premiums?
You may be surprised at what's affecting your quote
From your postcode to your age, check out some common factors insurers take into account when providing you with a quote.
Younger drivers usually attract higher premiums, yet you may find rates drop drastically once you turn 25. The elderly are also considered higher risk drivers.
Where you live can drastically affect your insurance premiums. Those living in a rural town may get a quote of nearly half those living in a city centre.
The type of vehicle you drive
Both car type and engine size can have a significant impact on your insurance quote, generally the higher the car's worth or risk, the higher the premium.
Number of years driving/miles driven per annum
How long you've driven for plays a part in deciding your insurance premium and how many miles you drive per annum also has an effect. Experienced drivers who drive infrequently may find they have lower premiums.
Driving history
Any penalties, including speeding offences will bump-up your insurance premiums.
Credit/Claims history
Insurers will look at your credit history as well as previous claims before deciding how much of a risk you pose.
No Claims Bonus
As a driver's number of years having made no claims increases, they'll often find their premium decreases.
Learner Driver Insurance
Ensure you're covered whilst learning the ropes
If you're a learner driver practicing in someone else's car whilst you get the hang of things, you could benefit from Learner Driver Insurance.
This is a fully comprehensive policy which ensures that the owner of the vehicle can be safe in the knowledge that, if something should happen, their vehicle and any third parties affected will be covered without affecting their No Claims Bonus.
This provisional policy can last 30, 60 or 90 days, with the option to be extended.
Reducing your insurance premiums
There are a number of factors which affect your insurance premiums, such as location, age and engine size.
Some of these are out of your control, yet there are other ways to potentially reduce your Motor Insurance premiums.
In your car:
- Avoid commuting
- Secure your car overnight
Obtaining a quote:
- Increase your voluntary excess
- Pay annually
- Build up a No Claims Bonus
- Don't guess your annual mileage
Additional Cover
This will cover the gap between the value of the car when you bought it and the value it has when you make the claim.
This covers you in the event that you break down at home or on the road – giving you access to roadside assistance and recovery.
This covers the cost of the excess you agree to when you take out insurance for your car.
We have dealt with The Insurance Centre for over 20 years and they have always provided excellent service and on the rare occasion we have had to make a claim on our policies we have always received a prompt settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions
There are a few ways you can reduce your premium. Things like keeping a low annual mileage, maintaining a No Claims Bonus of five or more years, limiting the number of people on your policy – especially young drivers, increasing your voluntary excess and improving the security of your car, can all drive down your premium.
When buying a car, most drivers don't put as much thought into their insurance as they do when choosing the car and will often look for the cheapest option over the relevance of the policy to them. Our team at The Insurance Centre will search through a selected panel of UK insurance companies and over 300 insurance schemes to find a policy which will offer you a suitable level of cover at the right price.
It can sometimes be a frustrating and difficult process making a motor claim or a change to your policy. With The Insurance Centre, if you need to amend your Motor Insurance policy, pay a renewal premium or discuss a claim, our friendly experts will be on-hand at our offices in Lancaster and Knott End to quickly deal with your query.
These premiums are calculated based on a number of different factors and are dependent on the cover you require. Your premiums will vary based on factors such as your age, the car you drive, your No Claims Bonus, the size of your car's engine, the age of the car, your annual mileage, where the car is stored overnight and the location the car will mainly be kept.
As a learner driver driving your own car, you would need to insure this with standard Motor insurance. If you're driving a friend or family member's car, you might want to consider a Learner Driver Insurance policy. We can provide both of these at The Insurance Centre and advise you on any further queries you may have whilst on your learning journey.
Sadly, no. However if you are towing your caravan on the road, your caravan will be covered for Third-Party Liability Cover. This means that if your towing vehicle is involved in an accident affecting a third party, the insurance will cover the cost for any damages to the third-party but any damages to the caravan will not be covered.
This is a valid question, considering we will no longer be able to buy new petrol/diesel cars from 2040. It's certainly feasible to insure an electric car however at the moment it does, as standard, cost more to insure than an average car. That being said, more and more people are going electric so as with anything new there will hopefully come a point where the gap between electric and non-electric cars premium costs balance out.

BMEX overflowing with innovative entrepreneurs
Added by Marlon Madden on May 24, 2015.
Saved under Local News (Barbados Today)
Lady Loretta Belgrave (second left) greeting one of the exhibitors at BMEX during her tour yesterday.
Innovation was the buzzword at this year's Barbados Manufacturers' Expo (BMEX).
In fact, organizers and exhibitors of the three-day event, which is being held under the theme 'Fortifying Linkages and Saluting Manufacturing Excellence,' say they are impressed with the level of innovation they have seen among entrepreneurs.
Admitting that the current economic climate was still a cause for concern, some exhibitors told Barbados TODAY they had to be constantly innovating in order to keep their businesses afloat.
At the same time, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart has expressed satisfaction that the manufacturing sector was beginning to show some favourable signs of improvement, as entrepreneurship grows in Barbados and business operators become more innovative.
The observations were made yesterday, day-two of the annual BMEX at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre.
During a short break from touring the facility, which attracted over 100 exhibitors and hundreds of patrons, Stuart told reporters that he was convinced "a quiet revolution" was taking place in Barbados when it came to the manufacturing sector and entrepreneurship.
And acknowledging that the manufacturing sector has not been contributing as much as it used to, Stuart said he believed the sector was beginning to show "some very positive signs and we think it can only get better".
"I am quite impressed with the creativity evident among Barbadians. I know we used to have a very vibrant manufacturing sector in days of yore. It passed through some difficult challenges, but it is evident that we are on the way back. I see old things being done in new ways, I see new things being done in old ways, and I see new things being done in new ways," he said, adding that it was "all indicative of the commitment to innovation and creativity" of the entrepreneurs.
Jalisa Maynard of Exotica Make-ups and Extensions said she was attracting a lot of interest at BMEX.
"Also very evident of course is the enthusiasm of the manufacturers. They are very proud of their work and are committed, it seems to me, to ensuring that they [rival] the best across the Caribbean and across this Hemisphere," said Stuart.
President of the Barbados Manufacturers Association (BMA) Karlene Nicholls, told Barbados TODAY that she was impressed with the exhibitors and the support of the annual expo.
Singling out the new product showcase, Nicholls said she believed BMEX was a great opportunity for local manufacturers to be given exposure for their new items.
" We do have a lot of talented people in Barbados," she said.
And she said that while the opportunity was there for local enterprises to expand and export their products, it would take time.
"It is not going to happen overnight. There are people who have the experience and they need to get that exposure and that is why we have different agencies that can actually help," Nicholls said.
"There are opportunities and if people are interested they just need to come and they need to ask questions and they will be pointed in the right direction," she added.
Commenting on the tour with Lady Loretta Belgrave in the morning on day two of the event, Nicholls said Lady Belgrave was impressed with what she saw.
First timer to the exhibit, Jalisa Maynard of Exotica Make-ups and Extensions, told Barbados TODAY that a number of people have been visiting the booth enquiring about their range of products.
She said that given the stiff competition in the cosmetics industry the focus was always on innovation.
"We still have our loyal customers and we have to keep up in the game," she said.
"When the season changes the colours change . . . This year has been a bit shaky because we don't get as much customers as we usually get but if they have big events, like the Reggae Festival for example, that weekend was exhaustive," she said, adding that being at the BMEX showcase was a way of promoting the business.
Meanwhile, managing director of Ashlar Designs, Sharlene Maynard, said she too was keeping up with the changes in the business environment and the demands from customers.

She sells a range of jewellery, bags and clothing.
"You have to look and see what the trends in the world are and try to get up to date on the trends and yet put your own island flair and twist to them. That is how you would try to stay above it and not experience the major setbacks that you would have associated with any business such as this," she said.
"Business has been up and down; there have been good times and bad times, but in the end you do what you have to do to keep your clientele happy and to get new clientele . . . You have to keep up with the trends. You just have to do it differently. You can't do it the same way that everyone else does it," she said.
The one issue some of the exhibitors in the western side of the location said they had with the event was the lack of signage to encourage more people to visit that area of the exhibition. (MM)

What are some of the biggest changes you are seeing in the window industry?
We see the continued growth of homeowners who want greater access to the outdoors with large spans of glass, as well as larger windows and doors. There's also a new trend toward mid-range products, as opposed the high-priced windows and doors, with an emphasis on greater efficiency.
What's the main thing you wished customers understood about the window industry?
The more well-known and popular brands are not always the best quality, and they don't necessarily offer the best value—they've just done a better job of marketing. Consumers should always research a brand before making a purchase. Also, don't believe every personal review you read on the internet, because often these comments come from someone who had a single bad experience—or even from industry insiders posing as customers posting on blogs about their competitors.
What are some common mistakes you see homeowners making when it comes to the window industry?
The biggest mistake we see is when homeowners choose a window based on the popularity of the brand or because someone told them that was the best choice, rather than doing their homework and researching for themselves.
What are the top five questions homeowners should ask when working with a company in the window industry?
- How long have you been in business?
- Can you provide me with choices and options?
- Can you back your products?
- Do your products meet or exceed industry standards and are they independently certified?
- Can you provide products in a reasonable and timely manner, on time and complete?
How is your company being innovative in the window industry?
Sierra Pacific developed the first windows to effectively utilize three different materials—wood, vinyl, and aluminum. These windows come in plenty of styles, with custom sizing available, and all at an affordable price. They're meant both for new construction, as well as replacement/remodeling, and they've received numerous awards in the industry. We also manufacture vinyl windows and doors for the mid-priced market and offer painted exteriors, which are painted in our own facilities.
We treat our wood products with a patented process called Coreguard Plus, which is an environmentally friendly wood treatment that protects the wood from rot, decay, and insects by penetrating deeper into the wood fibers. We are then able to provide industry-leading warranties on the wood used in our windows and doors.
What sets your company apart from your competitors?
Sierra Pacific is the only company in the wood window industry that is truly vertically integrated. We own nearly 2 million acres of pine forest in California and Washington, so we grow the trees that make our windows and doors, and we control the entire process from start to finish. Sierra Pacific also owns its own sawmills and millwork operations, and it's a privately held, family-owned company.
We distribute windows and doors coast to coast and in more than a dozen countries, and we sell through our own showrooms throughout the western US, as well as through professional dealers throughout the country. We do not distribute our windows and doors through any big box home centers.
We produce our own high-performance glass in our state-of-the-art Lisec vertical glazing line. We also powder coat our aluminum cladding components internally, using high-grade AAMA certified paint in 75 clad colors and textured finishes.
What's your biggest focus for 2017?
An important focus for us this year is to include more innovative products such as our Architectural Wall Systems and our large door systems. We're also working to achieve significant growth in our Transcend division of replacement windows and doors by offering professional installers nationally. Finally, we look forward to adding to our growing national group of Architectural Consultants.
What is your most popular product(s)? Why?
We have several, actually.
- Our innovative mid-priced H3 clad/wood windows for new construction, remodeling, and replacement.
- Our high-performance line of clad wood casements, known as Aspen, which can be made in very large sizes, with the highest performing design available and an innovative locking system.
- Our Architectural Wall Systems, which allow expansive views while also providing structural framing in wood with aluminum cladding for both vertical and horizontal glazing.
- Our wide selection of door systems: bifolding, multi-slide, and lift-Slide functions, with spans up to 35 feet wide and 10 feet height, as well as corner units and windows that perform the same functions.
- Our innovative replacement products: sash replacement for double hung windows (both wood and clad, featuring concealed jambliner and balances, and built-in screen options), as well as our innovative H3 Insert and Pocket replacement units with a vinyl mainframe, aluminum clad exterior, and solid wood interiors.
Where are your products made?
We have manufacturing facilities in Red Bluff, CA and Medford, WI, as well as a vinyl window and door facility in Merrill, WI.
Do you offer any warranties? If so, please elaborate.
Our warranties cover insulating glass for up to 20 years, aluminum cladding and paint finishes for up to 30 years, our wood components up to 20 years against rot and decay, and hardware for 10 years.
Where can your products be purchased?
Sierra Pacific windows and doors are available throughout the country via authorized dealers, lumber companies, millwork specialists, and installing dealers. You can also find them through our own company stores and showrooms in 10 western US states, as well as Chicago. Dealers and company stores are listed on our website for locations.
In what ways is your company taking strides to be more environmentally friendly?
Sierra Pacific manages our forest lands with a full staff of forestry professionals. We practice sustainable forestry and manage the surrounding the growth of the forests. We provide an extensive 100-year plan to the state of California, demonstrating a responsible strategy for harvesting and planting. We plant more than 7 million trees per year, and we have our own greenhouses for planting seedlings, with the average age of a harvested tree at 60-70 years old. We are members of various environmental and regulatory organizations, including the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, FSC, and others.
We also own our own co-generation plants. These utilize wood waste in heating our plants and generating power to our facilities. They also serve the housing developments surrounding many of our communities in California, via selling power back to the state.
What are the most eco-friendly products you offer? What makes them green?
Most of our products are developed and manufactured for sustainability and long life. Our Coreguard Plus wood treatment is environmentally friendly and low-VOC. Our paint finishes are also low-VOC powder coating, with little to no waste.
Thanks so much for speaking with us today!

5P-s-Tf2: 5P-Line of Involutary Conjugates
5P-s-Tf2 is a transformation that maps some point P into a line of Involutary Conjugates.
Each 5-Point (Pentangle) contains 5 4-Points (Quadrangles).
In a Quadrangle QA-Tf2(P) is the Involutary Conjugate on the tangent line at P to the conic through the vertices of the reference quadrangle and P.
The 5 versions of QA-Tf2(P) are collinear on 5P-s-Tf2(P).
• When P = 5P-s-P1, then 5P-s-Tf2(P) = Line at Infinity.
• When P lies on the 5P-circumscribed conic 5P-s-Co1, then 5P-s-Tf2(P) is the tangent at P to 5P-s-Co1.
• 5P-s-Tf2(P) is the polar of P wrt the circumscribed conic 5P-s-Co1 and P is the pole of 5P-s-Tf2(P) wrt the circumscribed conic 5P-s-Co1.
• 5P-s-Tf1(P) // 5P-s-Tf2(P).
• d(P,5P-s-Tf1(P)) = d(5P-s-Tf1(P),5P-s-Tf2(P)) = d(P,5P-s-Tf2(P)) / 2.
• P is the Railway Watcher of lines 5P-s-Tf1(P) and 5P-s-Tf1(P). See QL-L-1.

As the guerilla war has dragged on unabated in Iraq, the Bush administration desperately needed to "do something." And that "something" is the typical response to problems in Washington: a bureaucratic reorganization that is unlikely to solve the problem.
Because the situation in Iraq next year could greatly affect the president's reelection chances, the White House has now taken control of the post-war occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan from the Pentagon. In what may be the understatement of the year, a senior administration official said of the Pentagon's record in Iraq and the change of authority: "Don [Rumsfeld] recognizes this is not what the Pentagon does best, and he is, in some ways, relieved to give up some of the authority here." Although, by this move, the White House is essentially admitting that the Pentagon has left post-war Iraq in shambles, the question remains whether the White House's large National Security Council (NSC) staff-"also sitting thousands of miles away in Washington-"can do any better.
In response to crises, the government has a history of shuffling boxes on the organizational chart. In the bureaucratic world of Washington, redrawing of the lines of authority has real meaning; it is likely to have much less meaning to the guerillas attacking American soldiers in Iraq.
Although in recent times, the Pentagon has been ineffectual in fighting guerilla wars, the more politically oriented White House has done an even worse job. Remember the Johnson and Nixon administrations' micromanagement of the Vietnam War, which contributed to the U.S. defeat by politicizing decisions that should have been made by the military? With an election in 2004, the danger exists that the White House's attempt at damage control could inadvertently turn into damage escalation.
The White House could become so desperate to show progress in a chaotic Iraq by next year that it authorizes the use of excessive force in an attempt to stamp out the guerrilla movement more quickly. Employing maximum firepower in a counterinsurgency, which inevitably leads to a spike in the deaths of civilians, can turn the local population against the army of occupation and toward the guerillas. In guerilla war, the support of the indigenous people, which can provide shelter and support to the insurgents, is vital to both sides in the conflict. The more political NSC staff is less likely than even military professionals to pay attention to such critical tactical issues. In Vietnam, the profligate use of American heavy firepower helped turn many South Vietnamese into supporters of the communists. The same could happen in Iraq, as the majority Shiites, already unhappy with the U.S. occupation, would likely react to the excessive use of American force by turning to active opposition-"an ominous development that could sink the United States deeper into the Iraqi quicksand.
Moreover, the last post-crisis bureaucratic restructuring in Washington could also provide some insight into the likely effectiveness of this one. After the September 11 attacks, it was learned that pre-September 11 intelligence held in various parts of the federal government, if properly pieced together, might have allowed the hijacking plot to have been uncovered. But the CIA and FBI failed to coordinate adequately. As a result of that bureaucratic confusion coming to light, an embarrassed Bush administration reversed course and supported the creation of a new Department of Homeland Security. The problem was that the CIA and FBI were not included in that structure and that difficulties in interagency coordination will likely be made worse by adding bureaucratic layers and a new intelligence organization within the nascent department. The creation of the new department was designed to shift attention away from government intelligence failures before September 11 and to show that the Bush administration was "doing something" about terrorism, but did little to improve the security of the homeland.
Unfortunately for the Bush administration, putting the White House in charge of post-war Iraq will do little to distract attention from rising guerilla attacks on American forces and is an admission that the "something" that the administration has been "doing" in that country has not worked. By November 2004, the American people will want to see the Iraq problem solved and are not going to be satisfied with the palliative of another bureaucratic reorganization.
And the only way to solve the problem is to rapidly turn Iraq over to the Iraqis themselves. The running of Iraq by a despised superpower is what's driving the violence in Iraq. If the Bush administration knows what's good for its electoral health, it will bury the hatchet with the rest of the world and accept international cooperation toward self-determination for Iraq's post-war future.

SiteGround website hosting review
Please note most links in this review are referral links. This helps the running of my blog.
I've been using SiteGround for almost 2 months now and so I thought it was time for a review.
My Conclusive review...
Firstly, SiteGround is really easy to get started. I selected their WordPress StartUp package which allowed me to set up my wife's website. SiteGround gave me a step by step process for setting up my newly created WordPress site, and I was ready to migrate my Weebly website over. This did take longer than usual because there's no way of migrating a site from Weebly to SiteGround. However, once I chose the correct theme, and I got the layout correct, the content was quickly copied/pasted over.
SiteGround also provides a very useful tool called "SG Optimiser" which helps speed up your website. It does this by resizing images correctly, adds caching, lazy loading, compression and much more.
Migrating my personal website
The process was so easy in fact, I decided to migrate my WordPress site hosted with DigitalOcean over and it also helped me save money. However, in order to migrate, I did need to upgrade to "GrowBig" and thankfully I only had to pay the difference between "StartUp" and "GrowBig" which was really helpful. The GrowBig packaged also allows my to host unlimited sites with 20GB of space. That's double the amount of space which was a huge bonus.
The migration from DigitalOcean to SiteGround was super easy. All I had to do was FTP my files and export/import my database. Of course, being a Web Developer, I'm very tech savvy. If you struggle with this, SiteGround offer a migration tool which could work in your favour.
To conclude...
If you're looking to self-host your WordPress blog or website, then I 100% recommend SiteGround. So far they have offered everything I need. With their 24/7 support, I know they will be there when I need them.

1400+ "What Girls Learn" Screen Captures
I finally began to capture the screnes from her films so I have added over 1400 screen captures (1,457 to be exact) from the 2001 movie What Girls Learn directed by Lee Rose. Elizabeth delivers a great performance as Mama Frances Olsen and stars alongside Scott Bakula, Alison Pill and Tamara Hope. The synopsis reads as:
Mama (Elizabeth Perkins) is an eccentric single mother of two girls in early 1980's rural Georgia. She shares everything with the girls, who are both entering their teen years, with the exception of one important fact–that she has been carrying on a long-distance relationship with Nick (Scott Bakula), a single man in Long Island, New York. Mama must tell them the truth, however, when she decides to uproot the family and move them to Nick's home. With moving, Mama also reveals another painful secret–that she has begun a battle with breast cancer.
Be sure to check out the screen captures right away! Simply click on the preview below to see them all in the gallery.

A few months ago, my bestie texted me that they were coming to town for Christmas! Lacey and I have know each other since the 5th grade, roughly 18 years.. Insert that emoji with the bulging crazy eyes. In the last 18 I have learn so much from this girl an her family. We were Salt&Pepper as Gma Jan would say. We traveled together, we went over my text limit (yes that was a thing and totally proves that I am getting old), and I learned what was so important in life. Family, laughing until you almost pee your pants, and singing your heart out to Michael Jackson.
So back to Christmas break coming to visit family! She wanted to capture her adorable, giggly, whole hearted love she shares with her honey! Coming from So Cal, they wanted to explore the mountains. We dreamed of snow covered mountains, golden light and a beautiful long flowy dress (so maybe that was mostly me, but hey it was a good idea)! It snowed the day before their sessions, the skies parted ways and gave us an amazing show of her golden sunshine and it was perfection.
Let me tell you something, these two were ridiculously adorable!
As much as I would love to take credit for how adorable these two are, part of our session planning was with the ah-mazing Lanea North at Bombshell Hair and Makeup Lounge , and Ambiance of Placerville. Hair and Makeup plus amazing beautiful outfits completed this winter wonderland session!

The Olivier's are almost here and I can't wait to see who nabs the most awards and who the surprise winners will be.
I am excited that there aren't any 'obvious' winners unlike last year it makes the whole event so much more thrilling!
So with that in mind here are my top Olivier Award predictions…
Best New Musical
Fun Home, Come From Away, SIX, Tina – The Tina Turner Musical
Come From Away – It was a veeerryyyyy close category this year but I think Come From Away has nabbed it. Although Tina and SIX are obviously all well deserving I have a feeling that a classic(ish) non juke box musical is what the big wigs will go for. Plus it's my favourite so I hope it wins!
Best Musical Revival
Company, Caroline, Or Change, The King and I
Duh! Company was a fresh take on an old favourite and made Stephen Sondheim's classic relevant again! Plus The King and I is way too problematic.
Best New Play
The Inheritance, The Lehman Trilogy, Misty, Sweat
I did see the inheritance but everyone I knew who saw it said it was amazing plus the critics reviews were all impressive.
Best Play Revival
Summer and Smoke, King Lear, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, The Price
I'm really not sure who will take this one, although I hope it's Summer and Smoke. It's definitely a strong contender and was just absolutely fabulous!
Best New Comedy
Home, I'm Darling, Nine Night, Quiz
Quiz just sought of came and went, Nine Night was so good but I think Home, I'm Darling is going to take this one.
Best Actor
Arinze Kene, Ian McKellen, Kyle Soller, David Suchet, Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley and Ben Miles
I didn't see Misty but I feel like all the other options are just too obvious for 2019. I think the Olivier Awards are starting to wake up to seemingly 'less traditional' (and my that I mean white and middle class) forms of theatre which makes Arinze and his one man show Misty a strong contender.
Best Actress
Patsy Ferran, Sophie Okonedo, Katherine Parkinson, Eileen Atkinson, Gillian Anderson
I may be a biased but this woman DESERVES THIS SO MUCH! Her performance in Summer and Smoke was simply spellbinding and I feel like she is on course for a huge career.
Best Director
Stephen Daldry, Marianne Elliott, Christopher Ashley, Rebecca Frecknall, Sam Mendes
I really feel like 2019 has been a stand-out year for Elliot, with regards to Company, but Daldry directed the The Inheritance, an equally as impressive and important production. Sooooo I really can't call this one.
Best Actor In A Musical
Marc Antolin, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, Zubin Varla, Ken Watanabe
Oh gosh I really don't know with this one. I didn't see any of the productions so I can't compare any of them off my own experience… again I can't call it.
Best Actress in a Musical
Adrienne Warren, Sharon D. Clarke, Rosalie Craig, Kelli O'Hara
This is a really tough category but Adrienne Warren literally took London by storm when she opened Tina – The Tina Turner Musical. With a Tony nomination already to her name I think the 2019 Olivier is Warren!
I know that these aren't all the categories but this are the ones I have most investment in!
What are your 2019 Olivier Award nominations?
Till Next Time,

This article originally appeared on The Plus Ones.
The team at Fancy Hank's are no strangers to American barbecue.
Co-Founder Kent Bell has been operating Fancy Hank's since 2012, originally as a roaming pop-up around
Melbourne. After two years Mike Patrick, previously of San Telmo, joined the team, rolling out brisket and ribs to delighted carnivores across the city.
After a stint above the Mercat Cross Hotel with Hank's BBQ Joint, the boys decided to move to their current home on Bourke Street, where they are churning out American fare in the restaurant, and stellar drinks at their rooftop bar above.
Having been a big fan of their food for some time, I was excited to head along to their new menu launch, to taste dishes inspired by Patrick's recent trip to the southern states of the USA, culminating in attending the Empire State Barbecue Championships in New York last year.
Trying to eat our way through the new menu was no mean feat. This isn't just because of the generous servings, or rich flavours, but because you don't want to miss out on trying anything.
We started with crispy, deep-fried buffalo cauliflower served on a vegan ranch dressing made from cauliflower, house fermented watermelon and cayenne hot sauce. This spicy, crunchy starter was complimented nicely by another small plate – the creamy Devilled Egg. But, if you're picturing something your Grandmother would serve to her friends at Bridge, you're happily mistaken. This boiled egg is steamed for exactly nine minutes then chilled in ice water before being peeled and cut
lengthways, at which point the yolks are removed. A seasoned mousse using the yolks, sour pickles, mayonnaise and a touch of chilli is then piped back into the hollow egg white half – a true work of art.
Highlights of the new main menu include a melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork shoulder, with brown sugar and chipotle vinegar (pictured above). The rich meat, combined with the smoky, tangy vinegar and the sweetness of the sugar is a perfect rendition of the most authentic American barbecue. It's hard not to pair this with the coleslaw – less authentic (although no less delicious) as it references south-east Asian cuisine with cabbage, carrot, shallots, toasted peanuts, mint, coriander and a dressing made from smoky chipotles and fish sauce. It sounds like an odd combination, but the freshness is so much more welcome than the standard creamy slaw you would expect to find.
Another less conventional menu item, but another that is no less welcome is the Aussie/ American lamb ribs. Smoked at a slightly higher temperature than a pork rib to render, they are finished with a sweet cherry glaze and smoked eggplant, which makes the fatty, crispy meat sing. And if we're talking favourite Aussie ingredients, we can't
ignore the beet salad – roasted beetroots served warm with lightly smoked faro, parsley, toasted hazelnuts and goats cheese and seasoned with beet and lemon juice.
In addition to their impeccable wines and faultless service, Fancy Hank's manage the impossible for a barbecue joint – serving vegetable dishes as exciting as the meaty heroes.
In May, this unstoppable team are opening a new four-level Singaporean style barbecue restaurant, karaoke bar and rooftop on Bourke Street. We look forward to checking it out.
