Q1: What is the Microsoft MVP Award?
A1: The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award is an annual award given to outstanding members of Microsoft's technical communities based on contributions made during the previous 12 months to offline and online Microsoft-related technical communities.
Q2: Why does the MVP Award exist?
A2: We believe that technical communities foster the free and objective exchange of knowledge, thereby creating a reliable source of independent, real-world expertise that benefits everyone. The Microsoft MVP Award recognizes exceptional technical community leaders worldwide who actively share their knowledge with other technical community members.
Q3: How does Microsoft select its MVPs?
A3: Of 100 million technical community participants worldwide, about 4,000 are MVPs. Outstanding technical community members are nominated by their peers, Microsoft employees, and MVPs. Each year a panel of Microsoft employees reviews the contributions of each nominee for quality, quantity, and level of impact on the technical community. Today's MVPs reflect Microsoft's global customer base and breadth of technologies.
Q4: Are any Microsoft MVPs who are experts in all Microsoft technologies and products?
A4: No. Although many MVPs have in-depth knowledge of more than one product or technology, none of them are experts in all Microsoft technologies or products.
Q5: Do MVPs represent Microsoft?
A5: No. MVPs are not Microsoft employees, nor do they speak on Microsoft's behalf. MVPs are independent third-party individuals who have received an award from Microsoft that recognizes their exceptional achievements in technical communities.
Q6: Do Microsoft MVPs receive any payment from Microsoft?
A6: No. The MVP Award Program does provide a small set of services and other benefits as part of its core program offering, but MVPs do not receive any monetary payment from Microsoft.
Q7: How long does the Microsoft MVP Award last?
A7: The MVP Award lasts for one year. During this time, MVP Award recipients are free to refer to themselves as Microsoft MVPs and to enjoy all of the privileges that are included with the award.
Q8: What does Microsoft expect of its MVPs?
A8: Because MVP status is awarded based on past contributions, Microsoft has no expectations of MVPs beyond the normal expectations of courtesy, professionalism, and adherence to the MVP code of conduct and the community rules that we ask of all Microsoft community members. These rules can be found on the Microsoft Communities Rules of Conduct page.
Q9: How can I become a Microsoft MVP?
A9: Individuals are nominated for the MVP Award by their peers or by Microsoft, based on their contributions during the previous year to offline or online technical communities. Each nominee's contributions are then compared to the other candidates' contributions for the same year to determine who will receive the award. Nominees are chosen from traditional and emerging community venues, including public forums, newsgroups, third-party Web sites, user groups, event speakers, Web boards, blogs, social media sites, and wikis. Current MVPs reside in more than 90 countries, speak nearly 40 languages, and share their expertise in around 90 Microsoft technologies. To nominate yourself or someone else, please visit Nominate an MVP page.
Q10: Are Microsoft employees eligible to become MVPs?
A10: No, Microsoft employees cannot become MVPs.
Q11: Are there any requirements to be awarded as a Microsoft MVP?
A11: Yes, all Microsoft MVPs must be 18 years or older.
Q12: Why must Microsoft MVPs be 18 years or older?
A12: Microsoft is committed to the safety and privacy of minors. Minors are defined as anyone who is not 18 years or older. To help ensure their safety, the MVP Award Program implemented a policy in 2006 requiring all Microsoft MVPs awardees to affirm that they are 18 years or older.
Q13: Where can I find contact information for Microsoft MVPs?
While you can find a list of the current MVPs who have opted to be included on our awardees page, we do not list contact information for all MVPs due to privacy and security reasons.
Q14: How do I contact the MVP Award Program team?
A14: firstname.lastname@example.com is the universal contact for the MVP Award Program team. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about MVPs or the MVP Award Program.

WiFi Rail selects Cisco wireless equipment to design first continuous high-speed connectivity solution to improve commuter quality of life.
Founded in 2005, WiFi Rail, Inc. is the world's leading service provider of high-speed mobile Internet connectivity to mass transit environments. In support of bandwidth-intensive applications, such as voice and video, the company addresses the specific needs of high-speed commuter rail systems and the growing demands of its travelers.
Cooper Lee, WiFi Rail's founder and CEO, developed the business concept for the company while traveling the rails in Southern California. "I started commuting by train to cut my travel time by two hours every day," says Lee. Hoping to use his commute for working purposes, Lee soon became frustrated when lack of wireless connectivity made it impossible to remain productive. "My calls dropped every few minutes, and the wireless access cards didn't work," he says. Lee chose to turn his dissatisfaction into innovation. "I decided to design and build a wireless network that could provide continuous connectivity for rail-line commuters. That's why I founded WiFi Rail."
As an IT telecommunications professional, Lee had 12 years' experience working with Cisco ® solutions and immediately discussed his new company's objective with his Cisco representatives. "At the time, no vendor had an architecture that could support the speed of a train. But the Cisco sales team was willing to support a trial," he says. Lee worked closely with Cisco to build a demo of the broadband wireless network, and in early 2007, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) in the San Francisco Bay Area became the first to permit the network deployment as a trial. After testing for several months, wireless access on BART became available to the public in four downtown San Francisco stations in April of 2007and through the interconnecting tubes in 2008.
The WiFi Rail solution consists of two Cisco wireless networks. The trains communicate to the network via pole-mounted Cisco Aironet ® 1310 outdoor bridges. The commuter access network is a Cisco Unified Wireless Network that provides connectivity to the BART trains, platforms, stations, underground rail segments, surrounding areas, parking lots, and in-transit commuters. The access points located underground and outdoors function as bridges, while the ones located in the stations operate as normal APs. Cisco Aironet 1131 and 1140 access points residing on the inside of the train ceilings communicate with the commuters' devices, as well as to the backhaul network. Separate Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs) for pole-mounted and in-train access points make it possible for the communication links to act separately. In addition, the WiFi Rail patent-pending technology positions the access points to enable transmission handoffs to occur without gaps, helping to ensure smooth roaming. "The robust capabilities of Cisco's solutions made it possible for us to create this unique configuration in order to provide continuous bandwidth to commuters while they travel at high speeds," says Lee.
Today, the networks have been deployed throughout 2.6 miles above ground at BART's Hayward Test Track facility, and underground for two miles interconnecting the four principle downtown stations. Using the guest access capabilities of Cisco networks, commuters can access the Internet, corporate VPNs, and live streaming voice and video. "Some commuters now watch TV from their devices," says Lee. The RADIUS server automatically captures and identifies guest addresses and provides a webpage where users can register. "We currently provide wireless as a complimentary service, but in the near future we will offer subscriptions," says Lee. "The Cisco Service Selection Gateway (SSG) makes it easy to transition to and manage wireless users as a paid service and prevents users from accessing it for free."
WiFi Rail has successfully tested the Voice over Wi-Fi capabilities of the network and is considering using Cisco Wireless 7921 VoIP phones to provide mobility and flexibility for rail operator staff. "Station agents could then leave their booths to help commuters," says Lee. "And more agents on the platforms translate into improved customer service."
Cisco wireless solutions made it possible for WiFi Rail to prove its patent-pending technology and achieve its vision of providing continuous high-speed connectivity to commuters. "By providing bandwidth equal to the capabilities in their homes and offices, we've given commuters the ability to choose how they spend their time, improving the overall quality of their lives," says Lee.
"For instance, travelers can now start their commutes later because they know they can work on the train." Because the Wi-Fi network covers parking lot areas, commuters also have the option to work from their cars while they wait. "And they can choose to take a later train if they don't want to interrupt their work flow. For the first time, travel time can finally be truly productive for commuters," Lee says.
The reliability and high-speed capabilities of the Cisco wireless solutions enable WiFi Rail to provide a wide range of mobile services to a growing subscriber base. According to Lee, "Many wireless solutions easily support data connectivity, but we wanted to provide mobile access to voice, video, and new bandwidth-intensive applications as they become available. Cisco provides massive bandwidth with maximum reliability."
Commuters can now conduct two-hour video conferences easily without worry. "The network provides an average of 15 Mbps of actual throughput on trains traveling at 81 miles per hour," says Lee. "Users might experience 100 milliseconds of latency in a bad case scenario, which is indiscernible to users, and no drops."
Cisco has helped WiFi Rail gain a leadership position globally. Currently, similar mobile systems depend on cellular providers' 3G technology. "Because we use our patent-pending technology to deliver the RF, we are able to transmit more bandwidth to ten laptops than an entire cellular tower can provide," says Lee.
With more than 100,000 sign-ons, nearly 19,000 users have registered to the WiFi Rail network using various devices, but the company expects usage numbers to increase. "We have Cisco to thank for its strong support as we deployed this system," says Lee. "The Cisco network provides the capabilities needed to support our growing number of users and their evolving demands, making us the global leader in the rail transit communications space."
Next Steps
WiFi Rail will continue to provide high-bandwidth connectivity to a variety of transit environments now and in the future. By 2010, it expects to complete the deployment of the wireless network throughout all 104 miles of BART tracks and 43 stations, including downtown San Francisco and Oakland, creating the largest continuous layer-2 WLAN in existence.
Future projects for WiFi Rail solutions include regional commuter rail systems, such as Miami-Dade Metrorail, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMTA), Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), Port Authority of the Trans Hudson (PATH), as well as the international entity, Nipon Telephone and Telegraph Broadband Project (NTTBP). In addition, WiFi Rail is also working with a Formula One team and vendor to provide converged high-bandwidth continuous wireless connectivity to race cars for a variety of audio, video, and data applications.
WiFi Rail is a Cisco Advanced Technology Development Partner (ATDP) and continues to work closely with Cisco's Advanced Technology and Research group to further enhance the technology of the mobile network. "We are continually exploring new opportunities to provide wireless access in different transit environments, such as trains, ferries, and highway arteries," says Lee. "We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Cisco as we expand and support Emergency Medical Services and Homeland Security requirements."

October 2013
From earliest childhood, we establish a fixed or growth mindset. Those who foster a fixed mindset believe their abilities are limited and worry excessively about meeting the expectations of others, living in fear of judgment. They under-perform due to perfectionism and anxiety and avoid or make excuses. Those with a growth mindset believe anything is possible with effort. They are willing to take healthy risks and view challenges as opportunities. They perform to their ability and often exceed the expectations of others, but aren't afraid to fail, viewing mistakes as key to learning. This workshop will outline the characteristics of the growth mindset; provide examples from academics, the arts, athletics and business; and summarize activities conducive to the development of such a perspective.

We're used to dealing with companies that seem to take joy in foiling their customers, so when a company comes through, really performs above and beyond, we jump at the chance to warm a few hearts. Like say when an 11-year-old boy saves up his money for two years to buy a LEGO train set only to find out it isn't being made anymore and is now a collectible, completely out of his price range. You better believe this one has a happy ending.

My comment:
This made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, especially the comment from LEGO.

Anyway he said about making/creating something for me & I said I think the table is the wrong height as it kills my back especially when cutting.
So my question I like to ask you all is what height is your sewing/cutting table/work-surface & what is your height in comparison me I am 5ft 4inches so what sort of height would I need my table to to be.
Any Input you can give would be greatly appreciated & don't forget if you reply as Anonymous then I can't reply to you

Hi,, I have popped in, thru' Jan's Musings. As regards to height of tables, what about going with the height of your kitchen work tops. I am 5'7",, and they are fine for me. They are just a little over 3 feet.

For cutting, I have a "table" which is about the height of my kitchen units which DH rigged up with 2 trestles and a piece of melamine. This is great cos it means it can be put up and taken down easily. Also, you can get trestles that are adjustable I think from somewhere like the big Swedish furniture shop.
For sewing, I have my machine in a cabinet, so that's not very helpful.

Janice, irt is recommended the cutting tables be kitchen unit height where ever you go, it works for me. I got hubby to raise my student table onto casters so I can wheel it round where ever I wish it to be, works a dream.

Have you considered purchased a used padded or raisable piano bench? You can adjust the height anytime and relax your back!

- Nancy said...
My sewing table has a height of just under 29 inches. My cutting table is kitchen counter height. Anything lower and my back screams. I am 5'4 also. To make sewing easier, go on line and buy a Tilt-able, an acrylic device which raises up the back of your machine to make seeing the bed easier. Greatest thing since sliced bread.

Contact Andy Hong, our Gear Reviews Editor for more information.
Please be patient as Andy is an international man of mystery. Do not attempt to bombard him with phone calls or faxes - it won't work!
I'd like a subscription. How do I do that?
Free subscriptions are available in digital format to anyone in the world with a valid email address. All subscribers will receive each new issue of Tape Op directly in their email inbox in a protected PDF format, as well as be able to view all of their current and past delivered issues directly at tapeop.com.
If you live in the U.S., we will also send you a paper copy of each new issue via good ol' snail mail. Basic print subscriptions are indeed free, but not 100% guaranteed to arrive, or may arrive torn. However, 98% arrive just fine. First class paid print subscriptions are guaranteed delivery and available in both U.S. and overseas.
Check out our main subscriptions page for all of the above options.
Why do international subscriptions cost so much?
That's just the way it is because of the cost of postage. Between sorting out addresses and subs, printing and mailing we don't make any money on the international subscribers as it is. Stop whining.
Can I use Paypal, etc to pay for my subscription?
We accept (and prefer) PayPal for purchase of our archive subscriptions. 1st-class paid print subscriptions are handled by goodmtn.com and currently they do not support PayPal for purchases.
Can I start my subscription with issue number___?
No. Subscriptions start with the next issue to be sent out, not with one that's already out.
The easiest way to access back issues is to purchase one of our online archive subscriptions, which gives you online access to all our back issues back to the year 2000 (issue #20). These are digital copies only, but they have the significant advantage of searchable access. Individual print back issues are available for purchase via goodmtn.com. Browse all our individual issues here.
A recent issue didn't show up. Can you please send me a replacement copy?
We will replace missed copies of the first class paid and foreign subscriptions. We do not replace missed free subscriptions. It seems the postal service loses about 2% of them each issue, which is unfortunately a fair amount of magazines when you're mailing 35,000 copies. But hey, it is a free subscription and 98% of them get there just fine!
Back issues are available here.
If you had a FREE subscription and then stopped receiving issues, several things may have occurred. Subscription renewal is handled via an email to you, once a year. If you have changed your email address between signing up and renewal, then you will not receive this notice and your subscription will be cancelled. If your spam filter grabs it, you will not receive this notice of renewal. If you signed up long ago, before we required an email, then randomly you may be dropped form the mailing list as the list is purged of non-email addresses. In all of these cases, for a free subscription the easiest thing to do is sign up for a new subscription. If you do start receiving extra copies, email firstname.lastname@example.com and give your address, name and email address used to sign up.
Where do I change my address, renew my subscription, check my status, etc?
The best way to manage all aspects of your subscription is to log in with your provided email address (reset your password here if need be). Your name will appear in the upper right of the page once logged in - click/tap/headbutt your name to see all your account and subscription information.
If you're not sure what email address you gave us, search for your sub here. If all else fails, you can fill out our lost subscription form and we will look it up ourselves the old fashioned way and send you your information (please allow us some days to do this!)
I'm not sure if my address change went through. Can you check?
See above.
Where can I find a copy of Tape Op in my town?
We don't know. Our distributors send them to stores across the country and Canada, but we don't know what stores carry them for sure. Sorry!
What's your policy with renting your "free subscribers" information to advertisers?
As you know, Tape Op is a free magazine that's supported by our advertisers. That's how we can afford to print and mail it to you for free. This will include an occasional snail mail piece from some of our advertisers as well as these semi-regular e-zines. We'd like to be a bit more clear about how this works for those of you who are interested in this:
- Anytime we rent our list, it is for a 'one-time' usage. You are not being added to anyone else's database.
- We usually send out our list to a bonded third party mailing house, which further prevents your data from being pirated.
- We will only rent out our list to our advertisers who are professional audio companies. You won't be getting anything from long distance companies or timeshared condos in Cabo San Lucas.
- Any e-mailed 'spam' will only come from us. We will not give out e-mail addresses to any third party, all e-mail will be forwarded to us and sent to you by us.
Can I put a link on your website?
Can I send Tape Op an idea for an article?
We are usually backlogged with too many articles we can't find room for, but contact Larry with your idea. Please make sure that it hasn't been done before by checking the archives and back issues. You'd be surprised how many readers haven't read all the back issues and book. Please make it clear if this is just an idea you are passing along or if you intend to write it yourself.
Can I write for Tape Op?
Drop Larry a line with what you'd like to write about and your qualifications to do so. Ask for the Writer's Guidelines too. Please be aware that we have a mass of articles already in motion and many on deck that need to run. There isn't enough space for all the articles we get. Also be aware that if you have never interviewed someone and transcribed three hours of talking and then edited it down that it is a lot of work. Many people have started interviews that they never finished. That sucks and makes Tape Op look lame. Don't be one of those people!
Can I write a column for Tape Op?
Notice there are no regular columns in Tape Op besides letters, gear and CD reviews, table of contents and Larry's endrant. This is because space is at a premium and we want to offer a variety of features. So the answer is no.
Who Started Tape Op?
Larry Crane founded Tape Op in April 1996. John Baccigaluppi and Larry became partners late 1999. Larry primarily is the editor and John the publisher, though they confer on most issues and John has input as to content.
All the gear reviews seem to be positive. How come I never read bad reviews in Tape Op?
We strive to review products that we think are relevant to our readers and often pass on reviewing products we think are less relevant or that we feel aren't something we would want to use ourselves. Space in the magazine is very limited and we almost always have far more editorial than we have space for. Our feeling is that we should write about products and gear that we think is worth buying and not waste space writing about things we think suck. These products will disappear soon enough anyway. As far as manufacturer input, when we've finished a review we send it to the manufacturer for a fact check. If we have written something in error, we will correct it. If the manufacturer strongly disagrees with something we've said, we'll sometimes add their comments into the review.
How come you don?t run product photos in the gear reviews section?
1. We'd rather run more interviews and content and these photos would just take up more space. 2. We also think gear photos are usually pretty boring. 3. This way we can run more reviews. 4. You can find photos of gear on numerous websites, so why waste space reprinting them in the magazine?
Sometimes I see an ad for a product that you review right next to the review. This seems biased to me and I don't trust the review to not be influenced by the ad.
Tape Op is a free magazine that is supported by advertising. When we know that we are going to run a review, we contact the manufacturer and let them know the opportunity exists for them to advertise that same product in the magazine and support the review. We are already going to run the review, so if they decide to buy an ad because of that it allows us to add more editorial to that issue. The more ads we have the more editorial we can run. If the ad has a photo of the product, and if our page layout allows us, we will often put the ad next to the review so that you can see a photo of the piece of gear being reviewed.
Can I run an ad on TapeOp.com?
Yes indeed. Please check out our Online Media Kit for all the relevant info.

Brabus reveals tuned CLA 45 AMG
Tuners boost four-door Benz by 39bhp and 37 torques, then add more red
Posted: 26 Mar 2014
It's an oft-quoted truism that red ones go faster. Which is precisely how Brabus is differentiating its hopped-up CLA 45 AMG from the normal CLA 45 AMG. Well, that and adding 39bhp, and 37 lb ft of torque.
That brings the total output of Benz's turbocharged four-pot up to 394bhp, and 369lb ft, and the 0-62mph sprint down by 0.2 seconds to a piffling 4.2. The speed limiter's been deleted too, which means it'll hit 168mph. Benz's seven-speed twin-clutch paddle shift gearbox remains unchanged, though.
To back up the butch, it gets the aforementioned - and slightly horrid - red accents. They're on the painted 19-inch AMG alloys, around the grille, and on the door mirror casings.
There's also a new bit of trim on the front end, and a pair of spoilers. One's fitted to the rear section of the roof, and another underneath the boot lid.
Inside, it's a lot like everything else that comes out of Brabus' Bottropp-based tuning haus - floor to ceiling alcantara. Hmm...
There's no word on price, but budget for considerably more than the really quite good base car, which sells for £41,500.
How much would d'you think that red's worth?

BMW motorcycles are legendary for innovation, and their choice of fasteners are no exception. Torx fasteners are common, and even male Torx bolt heads (E8, E10, E12) are found. Gathering all of these special tools together can be a chore. In the past, a BMW motorcycle came with a great tool kit, but those days are no longer.
There's no one better to assemble you toolkit than CruzTools. As always, only top grade tools are chosen (no junk!) along with other necessary roadside items. The kit comes rolled up in a tough, compact pouch that stays together.
Tool Kit Contents:
Combination Wrenches 8, 10, 12, 13mm, and one Torx E10/12.
Crescent Wrench, (to 26mm)
Vise-Grip plier
Tire pressure gauge (0-50psi)
Wire and Zip-Ties
Hex Wrenches 3, 4, 5, 6, 8mm
Torx Wrenches T20, 25, 30, 40, 45, 50
Four-Way screwdriver with #1 and #2 phillips and 2 flats
Small Bottle Blue Loctite
6-Pt sockets 8, 10, 13mm, and Torx E8
Vinyl Electrical Tape
22 X 19 mm axle adapter
1/4" drive wrench and extension
No instructions are currently available for this product.
This tool kit REALLY does have everything you need in it! I have one for my 1200GS, but it also has everything to work on my wife's F650GS. I even use it in my garage when I'm too lazy to find the right tool on my workbench. It's nice to have everything you need in one place. High quality tools.
By Michael P. Brown on Dec 14, 2011 at 04:12:57 PM
Nice kit for my 1200GS. Excellent quality and tools cover most needs for road/trailside work (aside from flat repair). It contains all the correct BMW-specific Torx sizes etc. I like that it has the T50 Torx to remove/install the rear wheel bolts - but due to the (short) length of the wrench - not sure you could apply the correct amount of torque when re-tightening them? (I haven't tried yet). Reasonably priced IMO especially since you don't have to chase around separate tools or rob from misc. wrench sets.
By D.Sleeper on Dec 16, 2011 at 08:12:13 AM
I am adding the aftermarket items to my new BMW 700GS..sad we have to spend all the extra bucks to make a new bike right...another subject for another time. Anyway, I had purchased this toolkit(the one with the bike is a joke!)and it is everything and more than advertised..kinda like 'don't leave home without it'.One of the best thought out deals going. Buy it first and the rest is fun and easy. I have this big tool chest and I didn't even have to use it. Needless to say, I cannot recommend it enough...and the price is fair. WWW

Great find!
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
3/10/2014 By mariahlee
Most Helpful Positive Review
I looked everywhere for a weather proof boot that was stylish and feminine and looked like any other riding boot I would buy. I wanted something with a rubber sole, and waterproof in rain and snow and this boot provided that without having to give up on looks. They are so comfortable, allow to adjust the calf size to make it smaller which was great, and have met my expectations on the claims of weather-proof... My only regret is that I didn't buy them in every color before they started selling out of my sizes. I definitely recommend this boot and I"m crossing my fingers they bring it back next season, or one very similar!
We are so glad you love these so much! They are a great boot that are very functional and stylish. Thank you so much for this great review.

Get Full Spline For Your '10 SS
The Driveshaft Shop's Level 5 axles for the new Camaro SS are designed to handle up to 1,000 hp. Using their chromoly center bars, 108mm Porsche-style CVs and bolt-on chromoly inner and outer stubs, these are a direct bolt-on that fit the stock hubs and come complete with all the necessary hardware. Not only will these axles handle the horsepower, their different diameter chromoly axle bars on each side eliminate wheel hop. The Driveshaft Shop's axles are made with 11/8-inch and 13/8-inch diameter bars that are splined on the full diameter of the bar, without being tapered down so drastically and creating a weak point like the factory Camaro axles. These axles are priced as a set and have a one-year warranty. For more information, call 704.633.2380 or check them out on the web at www.driveshaftshop.com.
LS Race Block
GM LS engines have truly set a new standard for V-8 performance and durability. However, there are limitations for the aftermarket shopper when it comes to finding a high-performance replacement for the factory block. Aware of this dilemma, the research and development team at RHS went to work designing and testing several different versions of GM LS engine blocks until they found the optimal solution for performance engine builders and racing enthusiasts. The LS Race Block is designed for added clearance and mass customization. Available in both standard (9.240-inch) and tall (9.750-inch) deck heights with an extra-thick deck surface (0.750 inch), this RHS block features a raised cam centerline and priority main oiling via an oil galley that is shifted outboard to allow rod clearance for a much larger stroke (4.600 inches) while also minimizing windage in the crankcase. Using computer-aided design, the cylinder walls are Siamese cast with press-in, spun cast-iron liners.
For more information about the RHS LS Race Block or any other RHS product, call them at 877.776.4323 or visit them online at www.racingheadservice.com.
Well Worth A Shot
With the release of the '10 Camaro, ZEX engineers have custom-designed a nitrous system specifically tailored to the Camaro's LS3 V-8 engine. They not only tuned the kit to add 75-175 additional horsepower but also made the installation easy and ensured engine safety at the same time. This innovative nitrous system's Active Fuel Control adjusts fuel delivery with changes in nitrous bottle pressure so that your engine never runs too rich or too lean while spraying. In addition, the system also offers an electronic TPS switch for reliable system activation at wide-open throttle-perfect for the Camaro's throttle-by-wire system. The easy-to-install ZEX system is available in both the classic purple or the new Blackout series with its black powdercoated bottle and all necessary accessories for a simple, two-hour installation.

DATE: May 25, 2012
CONTACT: Philip Lindsey, Associate Professor of Fine Arts
Phone: 717-264-4141, Ext. 3305
Email: email@example.com
Their work will be displayed in a free exhibit, sponsored in part by Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts — Project Stream, that will run from June 7 through 9 at Wilson's Bogigian Gallery.
A reception for the artists will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 7, in the Bogigian, which is on the second floor of Lortz Hall. At the same time, an open house will be held, also in Lortz Hall, to view the artists' studios.
Fernandez is a Miami-based artist who has a degree in communication sciences and advertising from the University of the Americas in Quito, Ecuador. Fernandez, who has taught in Uruguay, Ecuador, Finland and the United States, addresses political, religious and aesthetic concerns in his art.
Burns is a Lancaster-based artist who has a Master of Fine Arts degree from Catholic University and is a recipient of the prestigious Fulbright-Hayes Scholarship. His work is widely exhibited in the U.S. and abroad. While in residency at Wilson, Burns intends to create images based on recent events in his world that deal with the birth of new life. Combining representational imagery along with abstraction, he will incorporate symbolism and personal mark-making to convey images of hope.
Brinich-Langlois is from Sarasota, Fla., and has a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from University of New Mexico. She will continue the production of prints as part of a series of woodcuts depicting scenes of daily life on Mars against the backdrop of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system.
Blassingame is a Washington, D.C., artist, who has a master's degree in art and bookmaking from Corcoran School of Art.

Rental Registry ordinance proposed in SpringfieldBy Susan Smallheer
Staff Writer | March 27,2013SPRINGFIELD Apartment owners will have to register with the town, if a new ordinance, which had its first review Monday night, goes through.
The proposed rental registry ordinance is designed to give Springfield fire officials a better idea of how many people live at a specific address, Town Manager Robert Forguites said during Mondays first reading.
The ordinance, which was first discussed last year in the wake of a violent shooting in downtown Springfield, would require people to register their apartments, or face fines. The registration would then trigger an inspection by local and state fire safety officials and require a certificate of fitness.
Select Board member David Yesman, who is also a landlord with several apartments, questioned why, if the stated purpose was fire safety, apartments were being singled out under the proposed ordinance.
Large homes with a single person living there could pose similar problems for firefighters, he said.
Town Attorney Stephen Ankuda, who helped draft the ordinance along with Forguites and Select Board members Stephanie Gibson and Michael Knoras, said the current intent was fire safety.
Firefighters arrive at the scene of a large apartment building and dont know how many people live there or where in the house.
A family would know about how many family members lived there and where, Ankuda said.
At a large apartment building, cut up into smaller apartments, not everyone knows everyone who lives there and where, Ankuda said.
Ankuda said there were a lot of side benefits to the rental registry, and that protecting tenants was one of them.
Yesman said if the state fire protection crews started doing regular inspections, landlords could face expensive repairs or upgrades to their apartments, which wouldnt necessarily be a bad thing.
It wouldnt be a cheap apartment any more, said Yesman.
Town officials have long complained that Springfield shoulders an unfair share of subsidized or low-income housing in Windsor County, something they have made no secret they would like to see change.
How the ordinance would be publicized and enforced concerned Board Chairman Kristi Morris.
Bill Kearns, the towns zoning officer, suggested a notice go out in the tax bills, once the ordinance is adopted.
Under the ordinance, all apartments should be registered by the end of 2013, Kearns said.
Many of the apartments in town that are already subject to government inspection would be exempted from the ordinance, Kearns said.
But it is the private apartments that the town wants to learn about and establish a database, Kearns said.
Under the enforcement of the ordinance, any fine or repair order could be appealed to the town manager, and then it would head to court, Ankuda said.
A second reading of the proposed ordinance is slated for April 22, during the Select Boards second meeting in April.

As the attraction between Sam and Alyssa heats up again, neither can predict just how deadly hot this situation is about to become.
©2003 Suzanne Brockmann; (P)2009 BBC Audio
"Oh Sam!"
If you are new to the Troubleshooters series, I recommend starting from the beginning. The stories are linked. Sam and Alyssa go way back to the first book, although that one is NOT essential to understand things. BUT you DO need to read "The defiant hero" and "Over the Edge" (in that order) to understand Sam and Alyssa's relationship. Things in this book open your eyes to some of the things that Sam says and does.
I read some of the comments on some of the language thing...interestingly I did not notice the swearing at all the first time I listened to the book because it's Sam! In relistening to the book after reading that comment I did notice the swearing, but that's part of what makes him Sam.
The series is amazing. Some people don't like the multiple stories. It may take a bit to get used to it, but I have come to love it. The action is amazing in most of the books (I have to agree with others on the lack of action plot in #12 - All through the night), but having followed Jules' story throughout all the other books, it was OK. These are romance books with explicit scenes mingled with action. If you don't like either, this is not your kind of book. If you like both (you're probably a Gemini), you are in luck! Best books I have ever read, I can't enough. And I can't wait to hear more about Izzy and Eden, which Suz has promised for next book! I was very surprised when she answered my suggestion on her website within a couple of days!
"Suzanne Brockman's Books are always 5 stars"
Exciting, Sexy,Action
Tom and Kelly's wedding
When Sam and Alyssia finally got back together.
Fast paced; action filled and sexy.
Susanne Brockmans' characters are complex and interesting. The reader cares what happens to them and they feel like they are friends. Fast paced and very sexy.
"Another GREAT book by Suzanne Brockmann"
The story was really good and I enjoyed every minute of it. I am an espionage fan as well as adore the stories of our military and those who keep us safe. Ok, I'm a romantic at heart, but get a real kick out of thrillers too. The narrator, Deborah Hazlett, was superb. Thank you for bringing the characters to life as you did.
"Could not put this down"
Exciting, romantic, mystery
I liked Georgiana because she had backbone
She did an excellent job of making each character unique
murder, lust and intrigue
"Out F______ Outstanding, Just ask Sam"
Yes I would! Well written great excitement of all kinds.
Biography of George Patton or Billy Mitchell old ways vs new ways.
She has a very good range a voices as she does voices, men, women and accents.
The return of seal team 16, moving Palettey to his wife side at the hospital and protecting them from the old line.
Wonderful wide reaching mystery and emotions.
"Excellent for Alyssa and Sam Fans"
Yes. I really enjoy the humor in Brockmann's series. My favorite pairing (Locke and Starrett) are at their best in this one and I recommend it to any Alyssa/Sam fan!
Humor, sexy banter between characters. Storyline was so-so, but I can overlook it since I enjoy the couples in this one so much. I thought that the narrator was excellent and am dismayed that she hasn't done many of the others as well.
I think she does them all well. I'm really hard-pressed to pick a fave.
Definitely laugh...
"Ahhhh Sam and Alyssa"
I love love love this book, I'd previously read it in paperback and loved it then but this was awesome!! Mizz Brockmann is a master of the Seal tale and I love them all this one by far the best tough. I do wish that they would have had a male and female Narrator for the opposing parts but hey that's just me Ms Hazlett did a fantastic job and I love the Texas drawl....sounds so much like home here in NC that its scary.
"REALLY good plot"
A great read and hard to quit listening to!! One of her best, and she really has the suspense nailed!
"Wonderful story, fabulous narrator"
One of my favorite Suzanne Brockmann books. Love the characters and the narrator did a masterful job. This one stays with you…
"Gave up. Slow, slow story. Yawn."
I kept listening and listening and waiting for the story to develop. Lots of sexial small talk and provacative situations but the story is just so terribly slow in developing.
