Bad luck at a Korn show
Back in June 2009 I worked at a festival called "Arvikafestivalen" in Sweden. The festival took place just a couple of miles from my home in the middle of nowhere. (14 500 people lives in Arvika) However the festival sold 22 500 tickets.
Korn was going to play there, but I didn't really know much about them. So I was working at another stage nearby when Korn played their show. If I only knew that Korn would be one of my favorite bands one year later.
I played "Did my time" later on in the summer of 2010 by accident browsing around randomly on youtube and I got hoocked to Korn. So I guess what i'm trying to tell you is that the whole story is kind of sad and funny. I could have been backstage during the whole show. But I didn't like Korn back then, I barely knew much about them at all in 2009.
Bad luck JJ strikes again!

Caus' my boyfriend works for the organization of a festival, and KoRn played here, he tells me that he met them, caus' he had a pass, blablalbla..." I was like : O__O what ?? I willl kill you girl, you knew that I liked KoRn, b***! She said to me that like 2 days after the show........ and his boyfriend hate KoRn. HOLY SHIT. T___T

The problem is not less compatibility, but more compatibility. It used to be: these morphs work only with one figure, this clothing works only with one figure, etc. (unless you use a conversion program, of course.) Now DAZ 3D has created the possibility to use lots more older items with newer figures than ever before. Personally, while it would be nice if things were clearer (not that confusing product requirements are new with Genesis, but I agree it's become harder to keep everything straight), I think "maybe" is still preferable to a blanket "no."
That is more theoretical then actual. You can assume clothes will work in the autofit, but till you run them through it you really don't know. I have quite a few nonDAZ sets of clothes for aiko 4 that autofit just screws up.
The big thing is how any of this works, which for me is inconsistent and undependable. I will continue to use apps I don't have issues with and content I haven't had issues with.
More over making things more compatible has made things less functional. As in autofit is supposed to greatly expand what clothes can be used on genesis. In most cases it works fine. When it came out it had two big issues, long skirts and spandexing the blouses. Lets add the inability to convert a one piece dress as well. Here it is more then a year later and guess what, auto fit still can't do anything with long dresses, still spandexs blouses, and still can't do a proper conversion of a one piece dress.
That is one of my personal issues with DAZ. They have these great feature ideas that they can't seem to make work. It's almost like they put them in the app now, then try to figure out how to make them work later. I want features that work now, when they are released and not have to put up with bugy, half finished features till DAZ can get them to work.
DAZ's rush to market has cost me money before,
it wont cost me money anymore.

U.S. District Court Judge Analisa Torres ruled the New York Container Terminal had no "reasonable or practical way" to protect over 2,200 containers damaged in the storm.
The new Senate bill would allow state governors to invoke Taft-Hartley in an attempt to mitigate port congestion stemming from labor disputes.
Attorneys for the Institute of International Container Lessors argue terminal operators have no right to bind third parties to mandatory chassis inspections by International Longshore and Warehouse Union.
International Longshoremen's Association and employers represented by the United States Maritime Alliance will begin full wage scale meetings in mid‐September.
Total shipments and total revenues for third party logistics providers both fell in first quarter 2015 compared to fourth quarter 2014, according to a recent benchmarking report from the Transportation Intermediaries Association.
Daseke, Inc., an open-deck and specialty transportation company, announced it would merge with Charleston, S.C.-based Bulldog Hiway Express.

The Lenz Winery tasting room—snuggly nestled into a flat backdrop of 70 acres of endless rows of perfectly symmetrical vines—is a wide-open space with a long wooden table, silver spitting vessels and a patient sommelier, ready to serve. Like many tasting rooms, the space itself is non-descript; but the adjectives it invokes more than make up for it.
Apples, apricots, bananas, grapefruit, lemon, tannins, PH, tobacco, butter, toast. The colorful words that bounce around these walls are as random and disparate as a Shakespearean potion. Perhaps you too have found yourself wondering where these seemingly ridiculous terms actually come from.
Homing in on the answer to this question is, in part, the impetus behind Wine Camp, a four-day journey through some of the vineyards of the North Fork. With carefully mapped-out itineraries in hand, "campers" are exposed to all aspects of viticulture, from grapevine history, to climatology, grape juice chemistry, vineyard management, the difference between wood and steel barrels, the art of blending, and even vine clipping.
"I had this vision of hands-on learning," said Darolyn Augusta, who founded the camp seven years ago with her husband, Christopher, with whom she also runs a bed and breakfast in Peconic called The Harvest Inn. The idea sprang forth after Darolyn took a course on winemaking through the Long Island Wine Council. While the class was informative, she said, the information didn't readily sink in. "What I wanted was a learning experience." So, after talking to several of the North Fork winemakers themselves, she arranged for a camp that would give people an intimate look at the whole process.
In fact, Darolyn has taken me to the winery today to give me a sense of what a wine camper might do. After sipping a fine 2004 Cuvée in the tasting room—Darolyn's choice; as someone whose palette developed over bottles of "Two Buck Chuck," my ability to select and assess wine is remedial at best—we were greeted by Eric Fry. And then the real tasting began.
Fry, a large man with long, white hair and Nordic bone-structure (he would have made a great Viking), led us through a wooden door in the far corner of the tasting room. We deftly descending a couple rickety steps and circumvented various objects until we were standing on a concrete floor in a room that smelled mildly of cold dirt. We were surrounded by about a dozen stainless steel vats each about the size of a bedroom in Tribeca. This was The Cellar.
Fry went over to one of the containers and opened a spigot, which released a small stream of clear liquid that flowed into the plastic beaker he held below it. He divvied-up its contents amongst our glasses. After encouraging us to take a sip and—just as brash as it sounds—spit the liquid straight onto the concrete floor, he asked: "What do you taste?"
This question is always paralyzing for one so clearly out of her league. I scanned my brain for all the colorful adjectives seasoned tasters typically toss out at this point in the wine-tasting process. But, which obscure flavor was this? Cherry? Oak? Toast? Tobacco? I went with what I thought to be a conservative choice.
"Um… Raspberry?"
Fry didn't readily respond. "Ok. There is no wrong answer, but that was wrong," he said, politely releasing a short fit of laughter, easing any tension that might have formed in the wake of my obvious naiveté. "But it's really close," he reassured me, saying that what I was really tasting was sour: more like green apples and lemons. (Fry would later explain that it takes practice to put what you taste into words. Apparently, there's some sort of neurological connection lacking between the part of the brain that recognizes taste and the part that processes speech, so verbalizing wine for a novice like myself is exactly the way it feels: near impossible.) "What else? Anything."
I was spent after raspberry, but tried my hand at another flavor, attempting this time not to labor over my response. "Vinegar?"
Fry made a comical sound of disgust, like he had just squashed a bug. "How about sour cherry?" he offered instead. "It's screaming sour cherry."
He was right. And it began to make sense when he explained why. This was the flat beginnings of the bubbly we had sampled just moments before in the tasting room, he said.
"I want it to be delicate, clean, really fresh and really simple, because with bubbly, the flavor comes from the time on the yeast, [which is what gives it] all those sort of toasty, caramel, honey characters," he explained. Fry uses a yeast called Prise de Mousse, which he adds to the bottled liquid, caps it off with a beer-bottle top and places it in the basement for at least five years before its finally disgorged.
"If you've got a really strong apple character, or a really strong fruit character, it becomes spumanti," he added. "I don't want that. I want a really delicate flavor now with lots of acidity. It's too sour to drink now, but you're going to put it on the yeast and leave it in a bottle for five years, so you need to have that low PH for stability, for integrity, so that it doesn't spoil. "
As we continued tasting, Fry further explained that the flavor from white wine grapes, like Chardonnay, will differ depending on when the grapes are picked. (Premature and they're sour apple; late in the season and they're juicy, ripe pear.) Wine campers learn how to distinguish these flavors with Fry, ultimately blending samples themselves to create their own liquid "fruit salad," made to taste.
With more knowledge of how these flavors come about, I was ready for another blend. Fry poured a bit of Pinot Gris.
"Tell me any impression you get," Fry began. "But, also tell me how this wine differs from the last wine."
"Ok… It has more of a bite. It's not as sour."
"Not as sour! Correct. That means, less acid," he said. (I was proud.) "Now name a fruit," he continued.
I ventured a guess: "Kind of, maybe like apple, but not granny smith apple… ?"
"Perfect," Fry responded. "It's smoother, it's richer, it is not sweet, but it is not as acidic." (His explanation was a bit more articulate.) "It's creamier and richer because there's more glycerol, there's more diacetyl. The first wine saw almost no barrels; this one saw barrels and malolactic in the second fermentation."
Sure, I still wasn't really sure what all that meant, but knew I knew a lot more than when I walked through the door. In all, we tasted about 10 different varieties of wine, both whites and reds; and still, it was only a miniscule version of what actual wine campers can expect.
Darolyn said she and her husband usually entertain about 20 to 24 guests during a wine camp weekend, and they've seen couples from all walks of life: those who sign-up for the experience because they're thinking of opening a vineyard themselves, and those who, Darolyn said, come in saying "I know what I like, but I don't know why." When it comes down to it, she continued, "Wine Camp helps them understand why."
Wine Camp dates for 2012 are already available for reservations. For a full list of events and participating vineyards, visit the Wine Camp website www.harvestinnbandb.com/winecamp or call Harvest Inn at 765-9412.

The launch of the Diaspora handbook and a joint panel discussion that explored the opportunities and challenges that governments face when developing strategies to engage diaspora populations.
The launch in Bangkok of an issue brief series on labor migration in Asia undertaken by MPI and IOM with speakers H.E. Phadermchai Sasomsub, H.E. Kazi Imtiaz Hossain, H.E. Linglingay Lacanlale, Andrew Bruce, and Dovelyn Rannveig Agunias.
This brief examines the complex issues surrounding labor migration from Colombo Process countries. It discusses the progress made—and the policy challenges that remain—with regard to creating efficient and equitable labor migration systems.
The Migration Policy Institute celebrated its first decade as the authoritative, unimpeachable resource on immigration and immigrant integration analysis and policy design in the United States and internationally.
This Council Statement for the fifth plenary meeting of the Transatlantic Council on Migration captures key elements of deliberations on the best ways to bring greater order and legality to migration, border management, and labor market systems through transatlantic cooperation.
While policymakers are under increasing pressure to reduce illegal immigration, the estimated population of unauthorized immigrants in EU-15 countries has declined since 2002. European governments are collaborating on the management of their external borders, as this report details, discussing the detected and estimated scope of irregular migration in the European Union.
This volume from MPI's Transatlantic Council on Migration aims to fill the analytical gap regarding the question of what greater global cooperation on governing the flow of international migrants could achieve.The book focuses on a set of fundamental questions: What are the key steps to building a better, more cooperative system of governance? What are the goals that can be achieved through greater international cooperation? And, most fundamentally, who (or what) is to be governed?
This final report summarizes and reflects upon the key findings of the Improving EU and U.S. Immigration Systems: Learning from Experience comparative research project undertaken by MPI and the European University Institute through a grant from the European Commission.

The basics never go out of style, and our Small Shave Bag proves it. It's the perfect way to stay organized on any trip away from home. Handcrafted from genuine leather with turned edges and a water-resistant nylon interior, this Small Shave Bag has a main zippered compartment for things like razors, electric shavers, chargers, and shaving cream. There's also a front zippered pocket for stuff like extra blades, aftershave, and other small items. A stitched top handle ties it all together, giving you an easy way to carry it. An essential for any man on the go, our Small Shave Bag is sure to be a go-to accessory for any man who uses it.
Our Vero collection is drum dyed, aniline, buttery soft Nappa leather. This classic Italian leather makes it a great choice for pairing with other leather items, as its natural look can blend with almost anything. Vero is our most popular collection and works well as a stylish luxury accessory for yourself or a gift for a friend.
Bought for my father and it is better than expected! A little on the small side but for a shave bag it's perfect.
I had this bag embossed with my son's initials for a graduation gift. I have also given this to other young men. It is such a classic, manly gift. This is high quality leather and it smells wonderful!
The shave bag was a graduation present. It is very nice.
Nice looking product. Good delivery time. Will make a great gift.
Very very nice. Thank you.
I like it. It is well constructed and should last a long time. It is well worth what it cost.
This was a Christmas present for my son. He was delighted with it and was particularly pleased with the top quality leather. He even commented on how nicely it was packaged and took the box back to New York with him on the train (too good to leave behind), he said.
It looks great, but it's a gift for my dad and he hasn't gotten it yet. Arrived on time and in excellent condition. I really wish I could give it a test run. Will order from Leatherology again.
Excellent purchase!
This bag is a very soft leather; very nice to the touch. This is the exact size I was looking for. I will be giving this to my husband for Christmas.
This bag is nicely made, and it is the perfect small size for a hair brush, toothbrush, etc...
I had high expectations but was very surprised that they were met and then some. This shave kit is well constructed and looks like it will last for years. Packaging was great too.
Great quality! Too small, photo is deceiving.
very pleased with product and purchase
I was looking for a small dopp kit for my boyfriend and it proved to be a difficult search. Finally found this one which is the right size and also appeared to be made of nice quality supple leather. I was also hoping for a monogram option and this bag has that as well. The bag did not disappoint when it arrived--very nicely packaged by the way--and the monogram is subtle and nicely done, made by stamping the leather. All in all, nice quality, nice design and looks to be long lasting.
I purchased this shave bag for my husband who travels a lot for work and he loves it. It is the perfect size for a carry on bag and very sleek and well made. We are both very happy with this purchase.
the item was as expected. I was not disappointed.
Excellent quality and ships fast!
Beautifully made bag and elegantly packaged. It made a very nice gift.
Just what I was looking for......
My husband is very happy with the small shave bag.
Very nice product and extremely quick
I was SO pleased with this bag. I bought it as a gift for my brother's graduation and he loved it. The leather is of good quality and the embossing was really well-done (although, I found $10 to be too expensive). Will definitely be using this website again to order gifts!
I ordered the small shave kit for my wife! The kits for women just weren't what my wife would have liked.
The kit arrived as a I expected. My wife was impressed by the beautiful box and bag in came in. Her monogramming was perfect. She is so please with a beautiful product!
Thank you!
At first we thought it was rather pricey, but after we critiqued it, we would have paid more. This kit is beautiful not only to look at, but to touch. It is very travel oriented and is treasured by our grandson. Thank you for a gift of beauty and quality. CMS
Ordinarily I would not focus on packaging. However, this excellent item was packaged so elegantly that all that was left to me was to add the gift card. The leather monogrammed shave kit itself is a fine piece of leather craftsmanship. I am very pleased with this purchase. I believe the recipient will be as we'll.
What a great gift--elegant and sturdy, modern and classic. With the initials, it is really striking.
I purchased this kit as a gift and it was a big hit. The quality was superb and the kit is highly attractive. I was very pleased and I would order more gifts in the future.
This bag is smaller than it appears in the photo on the web page, and I find the measurements stated on the website exaggerated. I returned it which cost me another $11.16, since you do not pay for return shipping or refund the original $5.00 shipping. As far as the product itself, the leather seemed nice; however, the bag does not open very wide.
I bought ths for a birthday gift for my son's best friend. He was thrilled with it, and with having his initials on it. I actually never got to see it!
I got this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. The quality is excellent and he is very happy. He travels alot and needs the smaller size, so it was perfect. I think it will hold up alot better than the last one he had!
Great shaving kit - I purchased as a special 13th Birthday gift for my son and he LOVED it!! He thought it was great gift and adding the initials was a personal touch.
The shaving kit arrived in a timely manner. It was beautifully crafted and the monogram added a personal touch.
The quality of this product is magnificent. The leather is soft, and the engraving looks beautiful. Delivery was timely and the packaging was a great touch! My husband LOVES his Shave Kit bag.
Already recommended to friends.will remember this company for future gifts....
Great product.My first purchase with company and plan to have another order soon.

BREAKING: AOL Puts More Muscle Behind Live Programming
AOL wants to build an online video platform centered on real-time news stories and live events. In essence, that is what the company is planning around AOL Live, which will live on AOL.com and officially debut sometime in mid-July.
AOL spokesperson Doug Serton tells VideoInk that AOL Live is the result of insights the company has gleaned from HuffPost Live, as well as "live activations" the company launched in the past year around big events like the presidential election, the Grammys, the Oscars, and most recently, and Nik Wallenda's tightrope excursion over the Grand Canyon.
With AOL Live, AOL is making the argument that real-time content is a driver of consumption, and by extension advertiser demand. What AOL wants to do is provide advert… Read MoreTags: AOL, AOL Live, HuffPost Live, Michael Phelps, Nik Wallenda, Olympics, The Grammys, The Oscars, Visa

Its odd that a virus/malware would target that though.....
Nonetheless, running MSE and MBAM right now
Posted 28 November 2012 - 19:04
I ran MBAM and nothing really showed up interesting. Removed some obvious old things. BTW, this has never happened.
Not really. There are several variants out right now that target that partition.
I brought it up since changing the name of drives/partitions is something that requires admin rights...so if it's changing it is a process that somehow has silent admin rights.

How can the hibernation file be stored on there if it is 100MB???
I would actually suggest - Safe Mode - then try the scan - also it could be possible the following is happening - When he assigns it a partition letter the system itself removes it. (you know similar to a backup) or have a look at this and possibly --
It is possible the page file may be on that drive and that would actually cause the system to set it back to the state it is now upon each boot. (or the system may actually be saving data to that partition and reset up each reboot)
Your best bet may be to shrink the partition for C: then create a D: drive that does not have system reserved label or a page file on it. then Hibernation file may be assigned to that drive.
I assign it just to get its label back. I then remove it.
The system reserved partition should not have a drive letter assigned to it. Remove it.
Im just surprised this has happened to my system but Ill run these programs nonetheless....
The reason for the system reserved partition is that the computer boots off of it (it should be marked as active). It includes repair tools that you can boot off of (from pressing f8 at startup and select repair computer) to help repair any damage to your main system partition. If you do not want to use the system partition you can mark you main system partition as active and then create the boot files on it.
But, you probably do have malware or a bad file system on your system reserved partition. I would start with downloading tdsskiller and running it from within windows. I would also run the new malwarebytes anti-rootkit. Both are available from the download section of www.bleepingcomputer.com. I would then run combofix (also available from the previously mentioned site).
If those three come up clean then you should probably recreate your boot files on either the system reserved partition or move them to the main system partition.
edit: Some things I just thought of after my original reply:
1. If you run a chkdsk /r or /x from the repair environment or from booting off the CD/DVD, your system reserved will probably show up as C: and your main system partition will show up as D:. This is normal. chkdsk both of them. If they both come up clean and there are no viruses/rootkits/malware then move the boot files.

How can the hibernation file be stored on there if it is 100MB???
Posted 30 November 2012 - 18:14
I never said the hibernation file went there.... I said this is probably what is happening -
The WHY it removes the drive letter that you ASSIGN IT.
Posted 30 November 2012 - 18:47
The 100MB partition AS IS has no drive letter. My problem is that it has no label. If I assign a drive letter to it, the label reappears (I don't even retype the label in again). If I remove it, the label stays.
In a x amount of time, it gets removed again and I have to do the same process.

Why you mad this time? I think you're still mad that I negged you a month ago. Petty!
There is a difference between whining about getting negged in 4-6 threads as dimebag did and my asking for a blue name when at the time the assumption was that it required 6000 rep. If you cannot discern the difference, God help you.
Every human being contradicts their past behaviour because people evolve. Everyone has been a hypocrite when compared to their past self. Your pointing out something you deem hypocritical does not bother me. It did make me laugh that you thought it would.
As for your judgement of who I am... I was not aware we had met. You think you have enough info on me from my posts to understand who I am? I don't think you are that keen a psychoanalyst. I mean, they require university and the ability to use punctuation.

Midwest Living Review
If you're looking for chocolate-dipped Oreos, pretzel rods, raisins or turtles, you're in the wrong place at Lilly. These are fine artisanal chocolates made fresh daily by a young married couple classically trained as chefs. Their goal is to combine sweet and savory flavors and present minimeals wrapped in chocolate. You can check their website for the latest flavors, but the menu during our fall visit included 26 named chocolates. Some are simple: the Pistachio is a bittersweet pistachio ganache and milk chocolate topped with chopped pistachios. An Old School truffle packs the flavor of an old-fashioned malt, and the Shweetie Pie has vanilla bean butter caramel topped with roasted almonds and white chocolate. Others are more elaborate. The Mauie Wowie, which looks like a heart topped with smiley faces, includes Madagascar vanilla, Hawaiian black lava sea salt and white chocolate. The Bob, a square chocolate topped with skulls, includes Drambuie-spiked salted caramel, an apple cider reduction and milk chocolate; the PB Monster (described as an oval with Feuilletine flakes) combines natural peanut butter with clover honey, Feuilletine crunch and Himalayan pink salt. Whoa. We're not used to being overwhelmed by the description of a piece of chocolate. But the candies are good. The well-balanced flavors definitely take you on a little culinary journey with each piece; you just have to realize that if the thought of black espresso and lemon zest topped with dark chocolate makes you cringe, this place is probably not for you. The chocolates do come with a price. A 12-piece assorted box is $23, and while you're assembling your box, the owners can chat with you about which of the 214 craft beers for sale would pair well with the various chocolates. Anyone eager to explore new chocolate flavors should definitely give this little Tremont neighborhood shop a try.

Washington Capitals (20-16-6) at Tampa Bay Lightning (26-13-4), 7:30 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - Martin St. Louis didn't let being kept off the Canadian Olympic team affect his play in helping Tampa Bay earn a win in its most recent outing.
St. Louis will try to spur the Lightning to their fourth victory in five games when they host the struggling Washington Capitals in Thursday's test at Tampa Bay Times Forum.
The 38-year-old St. Louis wasn't among those picked to represent Team Canada at the 2014 Sochi Olympics when the Canadian side was announced on Tuesday, even though Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman was the man in charge of choosing the team. The classy veteran shrugged off the snub, however, scoring two goals in the third period later that night to lead the Bolts to a 4-2 road win over the Winnipeg Jets.
"I'm happy we got the win," St. Louis said. "In regards to Team Canada you obviously know how I feel, I'm disappointed and I'll just leave it at that."
Although St. Louis was not selected, Yzerman, the executive director of Team Canada, did tab his Lightning teammate Steven Stamkos to go to Sochi. Stamkos, of course, is still sidelined following surgery to repair a broken right tibia, but he is expected to be ready to play when the Winter Games begin next month.
Ondrej Palat and Valtteri Filppula also lit the lamp on Tuesday, while Teddy Purcell and Alex Killorn both had two assists. Anders Lindback made 12 saves in the win as Tampa wrapped a four-game road trip with a 3-1-0 record.
"This is a tough place to play on the road, and I thought we just played an outstanding road game," said Lightning coach Jon Cooper.
With regular No. 1 goaltender Ben Bishop expected to miss a second straight game with an upper-body injury, Lindback is likely to get another start on Thursday.
The Lightning are home for one game before heading back out on the road for a three-game swing. The Bolts, who are 14-4-2 at home and 12-9-2 as the guest, will begin their road trip Saturday in Philadelphia.
The Capitals are capping a two-game swing tonight, but they haven't played since dropping the opener of the jaunt Saturday in Minnesota. The loss to the Wild was the fourth straight for Washington and its sixth setback in seven games.
Ryan Suter notched the first hat trick of his career and first-ever for a Minnesota defenseman to lift the Wild to the 5-3 win Saturday at Xcel Energy Center.
Mike Green scored twice in the loss while Marcus Johansson also lit the lamp for the Capitals, who tied their longest losing streak of the season. Braden Holtby allowed all five goals on just 11 shots as Washington fell to 0-2-2 during its slide.
"We played a good hockey team and shut them down," said Washington forward Brooks Laich. "They only got 11 shots on net and it's confusing what happened. That's not going to happen very often."
Washington also lost four in a row (0-3-1) from Nov. 20-27, but the club hasn't dropped five straight since an 0-6-2 stretch from Dec. 2-18, 2010.
The Capitals won the first meeting of the season with the Lightning, posting a 6-5 home shootout decision on Dec. 10. Washington has won four in a row in this series, including a 6-5 home overtime win in the final meeting between the clubs last season.
Tampa had won four straight home games against the Capitals until Washington snapped that streak with a 4-3 regulation win at the Forum on Feb. 14 of last season.

Not withstanding its more experienced brother the C5, or the very pricey Viper GTS-R, the current-generation F-body is perhaps the best-handling production car U.S. automakers have ever built. Right off the showroom floor, the fourth-generation unibody Camaro can pull impressive g's and beat even the best factory prepared racecars of an era long gone. All this performance does not come with a high price tag, either. Today you can walk into your local Chevy dealer and drive off in a brand-new SS Camaro for less than $30,000. When compared to the $45,000-plus you'd shell out for a C5 or the $75,000-plus the Viper call tag will squeeze out of your bank account, the F-body's price seems minor, while its performance-per-dollar ratio is major.
What if there was a way to improve that performance ratio further, without hawking your home furniture to pay for it? Granatelli Motorsports has designed and currently offers several suspension products for third- and fourth-generation F-bodies that will stiffen the chassis and make them stick to the road like their tires were made of Super Glue. We stopped by Granatelli's to check out his parts, and we weren't disappointed in what we found.
Quick Installation
One of the truly great feats of modern engineering is that cars today are so well built, and the aftermarket in such fine tune with any new muscle, that most suspension upgrades can be made in the driveway on any lazy afternoon. Granatelli chose a brand-new 2000 Camaro SS that had just a few miles on its odometer to test its parts. True to claim, the Granatelli suspension pieces bolted on with very minor alignment persuasion in just a couple hours. Granted, this was in a professional shop, with a car hoist and air tools, but even lying on your back using only hand tools, you could still get the job done in an afternoon.
Handling Made Easy
With it's multi-link-type rear suspension, the new F-body handles corners with an ease that car designers could only dream of 30 years ago. But cost and time, as always, limit GM's design and manufacture. Punching millions of stamped control arms from a giant roll of thin steel is always more cost effective than welding steel tubing together. That's why GM, as well as all the other giant carmakers, equips its cars with stamped rear control arms. While these arms work great in a straight line, or when grandma is the pilot, put yourself in the driver's seat and you'll feel those bars flex as you drift into the next corner.
Granatelli has engineered new tubular control arms with welded ends fitting polyurethane bushings from Energy Suspension. The 15/8-inch diameter bars are made from 0.120-inch thick steel tubing, powdercoated bright red, with its ends equipped with grease fittings to make lubing the bushings an effortless task. These tubular control arms will not flex, and by themselves can greatly improve handling.
Adding to the stability and strength offered by the tubular control arms, Granatelli offers two new Panhard bars for the F-body: fixed and adjustable. The fixed bar is a simple bolt-in replacement for the stock, stamped steel piece that will not flex under hard cornering. The adjustable Panhard bar offers the same stiffness in the turns and gives the installer the ability to center the axle housing beneath the car for the best possible weight distribution and handling. Granatelli says that most F-bodies will require an adjustable Panhard bar when installing super-wide rubber like 315/35ZR17s in the back. Otherwise the tire will stick outside the wheelwell on one side and rub the inner wheel tub on the other. Since the rearend is usually out of alignment from the factory, the adjustable Panhard bar allows it to be shifted side-to-side to get the correct spacing for the fat rubber.

Traditional, magnetic-stripe credit cards have been the target of much scrutiny in recent years, due to a widespread increase in point-of-sale (POS) fraud. Recent data breaches at retailers such as Michael's, Neiman Marcus, and Target have served as a wakeup call for U.S. merchants and credit card networks to follow in the footsteps of the rest of the world in abandoning archaic magnetic stripe cards in favor of Europay-MasterCard-Visa global standard chip cards (EMV cards).
With the current magnetic stripe technology, hackers can skim card numbers and security codes to use stolen credit cards — something that EMV card technology will prevent.
Creating a unique code for each transaction, EMV chip cards are far more difficult to hack or counterfeit in-store. However, most merchants and credit card networks will not see increased online security measures as 1.2 billion U.S. credit and debit cards transition to EMV— making online transactions and accounts attractive targets for cybercriminals.
SEE ALSO: 3 reasons why sharing cybercrime info is good for all of us
While in-store fraud has significantly dropped in countries that have already adopted EMV cards, these countries have seen an increase in online fraud. For example, online fraud increased 21 percent in Europe in 2012 in part due to widespread EMV adoption.
As in other countries, the adoption of EMV cards in the U.S. will push cybercriminals away from in-store fraud and increase the likelihood of new, sophisticated strategies for fraudulent online transactions. The cybersecurity strategies most merchants and credit card networks currently have in place are ill-equipped to prevent this migration of fraud online.

- Amazing Lashes for me! Review by Angela
Quality Price Value
Ok, I had to write a review because this mascara is my new favorite lash product! I received a full sized free sample with another order I had placed. I stuck it in a drawer until I finished my other (brand) tube. When it was time to replace my mascara, I pulled this one out and didn't really have any expectations, especially since I prefer a smaller, thinner wand. Well, I've been using it for 3 full months and wow!! My naked lashes look longer and healthier!! People have made comments on how lush and long my lashes look. I don't need an eye makeup remover to cleanse at the end of the day, a little cleansing milk and it comes right off. They feel soft, not brittle or stiff and the formula lasts all day, no smudging. I almost don't need mascara anymore, but I'm definitely stocking up on this product because I feel it conditions and nourishes my lashes. Would Highly recommend this product!!!

- Perfect Lashes Review by Jan
Quality Price Value
I have very fine lashes and this product really makes them pop. I've seen reviews where customers have said the product is too clumpy - not for me. This is a very light, natural-looking mascara that really wears wonderfully. My lashes are not stiff or funny looking - just beautiful. Holds up well in humidity, too.

- Wonderful mascara Review by Laura
Quality Value Price
I purchased this product from a spa after forgetting mascara on a trip - and what a great discovery! I found this mascara to be very natural looking while adding lots of length to my shorter lashes. There was no clumping, no flaking...just smooth long lashes. It definitely does not thicken - just lengthen - so if you are looking for both, I suggest using a primer beforehand. Wonderful! Will be purchasing again and will try the lash primer/conditioner as well.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa As they have all along, the people turned out for Elizabeth Collins. Hundreds waited in line to speak to and comfort the girl's family members during a visitation preceding the Life and Love of Elizabeth Celebration at Heartland Vineyard Church on Thursday.
Beginning five months ago when Elizabeth, 8, and her cousin Lyric Morrissey-Cook, 10, disappeared while riding bikes in Evansdale, family members, friends and people in the community and beyond have answered the call, first to help search for the missing girls, then to raise funds and attend events to show their support.
On Thursday, they turned out en masse. 1,500 people attended the worship service and celebration inside the church's auditorium.
The pillars at the entrance of the church bore large pink bows, a common sight since the girls went missing. Tables full of mementos from Elizabeth's life were on display, including toys, clothing, birthday cards, photographs and newspaper clippings. A harpist played music from the stairwell landing.
Drew and Heather Collins greeted visitors, offering hugs and a few words for two hours before the service. They took up their posts again after the service, as they were unable to greet everyone who was in line.
Some were close friends of the Collins'. Others, like Millie Mumm of Hudson, didn't know the family. "Heather spoke at our church," she said. "She was very inspirational. She touched a lot of us."
"I hate to say this is how God works," Mumm said. " ... Taking two young girls."
Others have known the family only a short time. Addonis Hill, the father of Donnisha Hill who was murdered in 2006, connected with the family through their shared experiences. As Hill reached Drew Collins at the head of the line, he hugged him tightly and spoke for a few minutes.
Inside the auditorium, photos of Elizabeth flashed on large screens above the sanctuary photos of a soundly sleeping infant, a chubby-cheeked toddler and a playful young girl.
The front of the auditorium was decorated with lit Christmas trees and colorful flower arrangements. A large portion of seats, set aside for family members, was cordoned off with pink ribbon.
"Tonight we are here to celebrate such a young life, but such an incredible life," said Pastor Chris Reeves.
Heather Collins addressed those gathered, reading Bible passages, remembering her daughter and consoling those in attendance. "You guys have just got to realize she is in a better place," she said.
The bulk of the service was taken up by Heartland Vineyard's Worship Team performing Christian music. Guests swayed and sang along, many with their arms stretched upward.
"The service was absolutely amazing," Heather Collins said. "Seeing all the people that were there, it was overwhelming. "It was just exactly what I had imagined her celebration to be, and even more," she said. "I know she was there the whole entire time. She was there. I just got this warm feeling over me through the entire service. She was there. She is still here."
The girls' grandmother, Wylma Cook, along with Lyric's mother, Misty Morrissey, and aunt, Tammy Brousseau, are planning a service for Lyric after Christmas --- possibly in January.

Drug sweep was an 'overwhelming show of force'By Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | January 17,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Police walk down a snowy street in Pownal as they execute a heroin and crack roundup in Bennington County on Wednesday.BENNINGTON — A series of drug arrests in Bennington County literally started with a bang Wednesday morning on Main Street.
In the parking lot of the Hemmings Motor News Sunoco service station, a large, black panel truck marked "Vermont State Police Tactical Services Unit" pulled up quickly and quietly; a group of armed and armored police officers stepped out. A large white house next to the station was quickly surrounded, attracting curious stares from the people nearby.
What appeared to be a flashbang device, used to disorient but not physically harm suspects, was deployed and the town of Bennington knew: A serious drug sweep was under way.
"It's exciting," said John Kasper, who owns J&J Auto Polish nearby. "Honestly. I've been around a long time and that was pretty neat. ... (They executed it) very well. I was in the service, I was military police, and they did a great job,"
Wednesday's operation involved more than 100 police officers from departments across Vermont. The parking lot at the Bennington fire facility, the headquarters of the operation, was filled with police cars from different towns, a formidable black Humvee, a mobile headquarters in a bus and, as the day went on, satellite trucks that allowed television stations to send out live updates.
With about 65 people to arrest, police could have been tense and harried. Instead, most officers seemed calm and purposeful. They knew their goals Wednesday and how they were going to meet them.
Shortly after a closed briefing, one team — including Sgt. Michael Plusch of the Bennington Police Department and Trooper Owen Ballinger and Sgt. Tom Williams of the Vermont State Police — drove off to look for Michael Gates, a man they were charged with finding and placing under arrest.
Probation and parole officers from the state Department of Corrections knocked on Gates' door but got no response.
Police considered Gates an important target, however, so they didn't give up. They moved their search to places that Gates was known to frequent, often walking his chihuahua.
Snow that fell through the day made driving tricky, but the search continued from a local store to a Pleasant Street apartment house. While at the house, word came in that Gates was now at his School Street home.
In a second-floor apartment, decorated with a poster of John Wayne, Gates was placed under arrest while the chihuahua ran around the floor, nervously approaching each law enforcement officer but never barking.
Not all of the arrests were as smooth. In Pownal, a group of Bennington officers prepared for a tactical response found no one at two different homes. Family members were contacted at a third home in hopes of convincing the suspect to turn himself in.
At another home in Pleasant Street, police began to amass when one of the subjects of the sweep refused to leave the house. Despite the cold weather, neighbors watched from open windows and stood outside on snowy sidewalks — especially after a helicopter, provided by federal Customs and Border Patrol agents, buzzed the building.
Col. Thomas L'Esperance, director of the Vermont State Police, said the suspect eventually surrendered and nobody was hurt.
"There are times when an overwhelming show of force will cause people to surrender," he said. "… Having this number of officers in Bennington for today was not only necessary, it was the right thing to do."

CSAC's Andy Foster Stands Behind Choice of Judges for Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez | MMAWeekly.com
Typically in the mixed martial arts world the uproar around judging is targeted at the incompetence of judges.
Following UFC on Fox 7 on Saturday night, however, there was a spotlight shining on the possible impropriety regarding judge Wade Vierras assignment to the Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez UFC lightweight title fight.
Vierra owns and operates a martial arts school that is affiliated with one of Melendezs coaches, Cesar Gracie.
California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer Andy Foster on Monday admitting to the appearance of conflict of interest on the surface defended his decision to assign Vierra to score the fight
That, he said, is part of the problem California and many other states have experienced, hiring judges that dont have the depth of knowledge needed to understand the sport that they are charged with scoring.I think Ive got good judges and Im comfortable with them, Foster told MMAWeekly.com, pointing out that all of his judges, including Vierra, have extensive knowledge in grappling and striking, including real world experience in training and competition.
Its been a rough road for mixed martial arts, often falling under the regulation of athletic commissions experienced in the oversight of boxing, but with little experience in MMA.Im trying to be part of the solution not part of the problem, Foster continued. You have to have experience in the striking and you have to have experience in the grappling; that way you get a balanced approach.
In order to achieve that goal, he explained that there is going to have to be the utilization of people like Vierra, who have the expertise, but may have crossed paths with some of the people they are charged with overseeing.Lets be very clear, the days of using a bunch of boxing judges to ref MMA here in the state of California is over, Foster declared. I think thats been part of the problem for a long time. This state had boxing judges judging mixed martial arts. Its my opinion that we should keep the two sports kind of separate.
Foster said his judges are aware that they should let him know if there is any conflict of interest that should see them removed from assignments. Vierra did that prior to UFC on Fox 7.
Vierra has a relationship with Nate Diaz, who also fought on Saturday fight card in San Jose, Calif. He let Foster know that he didnt think it was appropriate that he score his fight, thus he was removed from consideration.
Vierra doesnt have the same sort of relationship with Melendez, other than a shared association with Cesar Gracie. They dont train together or have a friendship like Vierra has with Diaz.
There are risks to the approach, but Foster believes its unavoidable if MMA is going to see improvements in judging.
I think weve been wrestling with this subject for a while and really the way that you get better is you take people that have trained and this sport is just too damn small, explained Foster. Everybody has trained with the same people at some point.
We rely on their integrity. Are you going to score it right for me or not? These guys I pick have competed themselves. Maybe not mixed martial arts, but certainly in grappling tournaments and striking competitions. Theyre depth of knowledge is pretty good.
Youre going to see more of this from this commission, not less. We want to get the score right for these fighters. I think we got the score right (for Henderson vs. Melendez).

Arizona Cardinals
Adrian Wilson emotional after his milestone day
Safety Adrian Wilson did something on Sunday in the Cardinals' 38-10 win over the Lions that only five other players in the history of the NFL have done in their respective careers: record 25 sacks and 25 interceptions.
In the postgame press conference, the 33-year-old had a hard time holding back his emotions following a milestone day.
"I mean it's just all the hard work that you put in, to see something like this happen, that's big to me and to my teammates," Wilson said. "I'm glad they were there to see it."
Despite being a veteran captain on the Cardinals defense this season, Wilson has had to deal with a reduced role in recent weeks. Yet in the face of a demotion, Wilson hasn't wavered in his leadership, even when standing on the sidelines.
"You know, I put a lot of stock into what I do and to play here and give everything that I have here," said Wilson. "It feels good, and we won. So, a lot of the emotions that's coming out now, just thinking through the hard times and being where we are at now."
Before the 2012 season began, Wilson restructured his contract, because he felt it was important to remainwith the organization. The veteran safety has been with the team since they drafted him in the third round back in 2001, and he's never been shy about wanting to finish his career in Arizona.
With his sack of Detroit quarterback Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter on Sunday, Wilson now has 25.5 sacks and 27 interceptions for his career and joins the elite 25-25 club. The other five players in that group include Ray Lewis, Ronde Barber, Rodney Harrison, William Thomas and Brian Dawkins.
"You know history is history...pretty soon somebody is going to break that," said Wilson. "I'm just going to relish in it tonight with my teammates, and you know it means a lot. I wish I was able to put it into words but I can't, I'm just too emotional right now."
Wilson's teammates did not hesitate to sing his praises for his leadership and his hard work, including defensive tackle Darnell Dockett. Dockett was drafted in 2004 and has been Wilson's teammate through good times and through bad times over the past eight seasons.
"Adrian Wilson, that's my brother, I love him," Dockett said. "I'm so happy for him. I'm just very blessed to be a part of his career for the last eight years and to see a dominant guy just dominate so many games and face some adversity this year and still overcome it."
Safety Rashad Johnson is one of the players that has filled in for Wilson on certain third down packages, since defensive coordinator Ray Horton opted to make some schematic changes following the Cardinals' bye on November 11.
"For Adrian, just to break the record that he did, I'm tremendously happy for him," Johnson said. "Hopefully, you know, he's got a lot of ball left in him and he can get to 30 [interceptions] and 30 [sacks]."
This season, Wilson will have only two more cracks at adding to his interception and sack totals, as Arizona hosts the Chicago Bear next Sunday and then travels to San Francisco to close out the campaign against the 49ers.

A Positive Contribution from Newsweek on All the Studies about Supplements and Diet
Newsweek must be monitoring this blog. No, I won't flatter myself. But its March 13 cover story is "Diet Hype: Confused? From Fat to Calcium, How the Media Collides with Science", which takes off nicely from items I've posted here over the last month. The main article does a credible job of explaining why we read and hear so much seemingly contradictory information about the effects of nutritional supplements and diet on our health.
Newsweek points out that media coverage of medical studies has exploded. "Too much information," it concludes. Newsweek itself has devoted 20% of its cover stories over the last year to health issues. With poorly educated writers and pressured headline writers, the coverage is often inaccurate and contradictory.
But other factors are at work, like the design of the studies and the size of the study groups.One study suggesting chocolate is good for us had only 23 patricipants. Perhaps most significant, the interaction between health and diet is likely more complex than can be captured in a study of a single nutritional supplement, and the effects, both positive and negative, occur over a longer period of time than the studies can capture. "The biggest challenge in dietary research is that nobody eats only one thing," notes Newsweek. Moreover, "Everyone's looking for an immediate solution, but science takes time."
Ignore the asides about being able to "rush out and gorge on cheeseburgers," and you've got some clear-headed analysis here.

I want to make a video that will mix a whiteboard drawing animation in the style of RSA Animate videos (so speeded-up drawings) and stop-motion. I think I'm almost ready to start but I still have two questions I can't figure out an answer:
when I want to make a drawing move in stop-motion, do I have to erase it and draw it again a little bit on the right, then erase it and draw it again and again? In some videos like this one
What's the best way to move the field of the camera to draw in different areas of the whiteboard, like what you see here
