Online Auto Mechanic Programs
Auto mechanics, also known as automotive service technicians, work in a dynamic environment that requires a high level of technical expertise. While auto mechanics once provided mechanical services for the repair of automobiles and trucks, changes in technology have made this position highly technically oriented. Today, auto mechanics must not only have an integral understanding of automobile mechanics, but also these professionals must have a clear understanding of the computer technology integrated into newer cars. Increased computerization of vehicles requires auto mechanics to have the technical expertise needed to fix these machines. Students seeking ASE certification online may want to pursue a degree from an online auto mechanic school.
Essential to the job of the auto mechanic is the ability to diagnose problems with the vehicle. Typically, vehicle owners provide a description of the problem with the car and auto mechanics must utilize diagnostic tools to determine the root cause of the problem. Once diagnosis of the problem has been made, the auto mechanic is then responsible for fixing the problem. Once the repair has been made the auto mechanic will then be responsible for testing the vehicle to ensure that it performs as it should. Auto mechanics are also providing customers with basic maintenance services for their vehicles. Standard services include: oil changes, brake replacement and tire installation.
Careers in the Field
Individuals seeking careers as automotive mechanics typically seek education and training though a vocational program. Entrance into these programs requires either a high school diploma or GED. Completion of vocational training programs will typically provide professionals with the needed skills and knowledge to work as an auto mechanic. Students that receive post-secondary education in this field will also be able to seek National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification. This certification will increase employment opportunities.
While many of the positions filled by auto mechanics have similar features, professionals entering into this field may choose to specialize in a specific area of automotive service. For instance, transmission technicians and rebuilders typically work on various parts of the transmission system exclusively. Tune-up technicians provide service involving optimizing engine performance. Automotive air-conditioning repairers provide service for air conditioning units in vehicles. Typically additional training and certification is needed to hold these positions.
Industry Salary Information
Salaries for auto mechanics will vary based on the professional's level of education, experience, certification and specialization. Additionally, salaries will vary based on the specific industry in which the professional is hired. In general, median hourly wages for all auto mechanics were $16.88 in 2008. The top earners in this profession had wages of $28.71 per hour while the lowest earners had wages of $9.56 per hour. Professionals employed by local governments had median hourly earnings of $20.07 while those employed automotive parts and tire stores had median hourly earnings of $14.90. Auto mechanics with AES certification will also be able to command higher salaries. While most auto mechanics are paid a base salary for their services, many employed at automotive repair facilities receive a commission based on the amount of work completed for a customer. Most of the positions in this industry are full-time and include benefits such as healthcare, paid time off and vacation time.
Job Outlook
Despite the large number of vehicles currently on the road, the demand for auto mechanics is expected to be quite slow over the next seven years. Growth is projected at five percent until 2018, which is much lower than most other occupations. In general new positions in the industry will result from retirements of experienced auto mechanics and some growth in demand for auto service technicians. Individuals that obtain post-secondary education through vocational training or two-year degree programs in the field and subsequent AES certification will be most likely to obtain positions as auto mechanics. In addition professionals with specialized training and certification will have more opportunities for employment. Post-secondary education in the field will be needed to provide professionals with the technological competence needed to service newer vehicles. Consolidation in the automotive industry and a decline in the number of auto dealerships will also reduce demand for auto mechanics.

Eateries in Tax Crackdown
Restaurants Targeted in New Audits; 'I Will Fight That Until My Last Breath'
State sales-tax officials are turning up the heat on restaurateurs, auditing 60% more of the city's eateries in the fiscal year that just ended than the year before and leaving the industry with a case of agita.
The cash-strapped state conducted 1,077 sales-tax audits of New York City restaurants in fiscal year 2010, which ended March 31, compared with 646 the previous year. Those reviews found the restaurants owed the state $71.9 million in sales tax, compared with $40.6 million the year before, a 77% increase. About a quarter of that has been collected so far.
"We certainly have a need right now for multiple billions of dollars, and we're trying to do our best through effective enforcement of the current laws to narrow that gap so that the citizens of New York aren't deprived of important resource or that honest taxpayers aren't hit with an additional tax burden," said William Comiskey, deputy commissioner of tax enforcement for the state Department of Taxation and Finance.
Mr. Comiskey said "restaurants are one of the specific areas" that the department is focusing on in its policing of businesses in the so-called cash-based sector.
State officials attribute the main reason for the surge of scrutiny to a new program that allows staff members to review two years worth of sales-tax returns through the mail or telephone conversations to determine if they should conduct a more-detailed field audit.
For the industry, the greater scrutiny has raised questions and concerns.
"Business is very difficult right now. Every penny counts. Every minute you're not spending working on improving your business, you're basically losing money," said Jeremy Merrin, a Manhattan restaurant owner who is currently being audited. "This is really taking our time and focus away."
Gary Edelstein, a certified public accountant with Stuart Edelstein Linderman in Bellmore, Long Island, said he went from having one or two restaurant clients undergoing a state sales-tax audit to having about 16 in the metropolitan area. "There's been a huge increase," he said
Andrew Rigie, director of operations for the city's chapter of the New York State Restaurant Association, said the group co-hosted a seminar on sales tax and intends to hold more in the near future.
Some restaurant owners say the audits are yet another nuisance for an industry getting hit from all corners.
Vinnie Mazzone, owner of Chicken Masters in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, said he underwent a desk audit last fiscal year for the first time since he opened his restaurant 29 years ago. The audit lasted nearly 10 months and concluded he owes $50,000, a finding Mr. Mazzone said he intends to challenge.
"I'm absolutely going to contest that," he said. "I will fight that until my last breath. I don't believe in writing stuff off as the cost of doing business. The hardest part about operating a business these days is government regulations. It's just never ending."
Mr. Merrin, whose Havana Central Restaurants have three locations, said he had to ship about 50 boxes of documents to the state as part of the audit. "They are always time-consuming, and they're expensive," said Mr. Merrin. "We're talking about thousands of dollars, not hundreds of dollars.
"It's not the audits—though the number of audits and the frequency is unbearable—but it's the lack of understanding of the business," he added. "They ask for things and expect things that just aren't reasonable."
He said, for example, he has been asked to go through every transaction on a credit card issued to a tax-exempt company and get verification that the purchase was, in fact, for the organization.
For some restaurants, the audits have meant closure, albeit temporary.
The Vox Pop Cafe is a for-profit community collective in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn. Chief executive Debi Ryan said an audit found the eatery owed $56,000 to the state from when it was under a previous owner.
In December, the state padlocked the cafe's doors. The community raised $10,000 and reopened. Several weeks ago the state shut it down again, saying the cafe owned $64,000 with interest and penalties. After raising $15,000 it reopened May 4.
Ms. Ryan said she feels the state is going to the extreme. "I'm like, 'Really. Come on?' I've paid off the employees that were owned money. I've paid off the vendors. I do appreciate that the state needs money...but they also have to appreciate that we're trying to make good on someone else's debts so to keep shutting us down doesn't accomplish anything. If we shut down, we can't generate money and then the state can't get any more money."
State officials say the goal isn't to be nettlesome but to recoup money for taxpayers at a time when it's badly needed.
"If everybody paid their sales tax, we may be out of this trouble," said Mr. Comiskey.

I'm trying to set up Git for staging my website so that I can
git pull to get the current version to work on locally and then
git push to push the changes to the remote server. I've got it set up so that it works the way I want it to, but after I push, I have to manually run
git checkout -f or

I've tried putting these into a shell script as the post-receive hook on the server, but it just doesn't seem to have any effect. I know that the script is running because I'm seeing "Changes pushed to server" after I push. Here's the post-receive hook:

Add a host
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
To add a host
Open Network Load Balancing Manager.
If Network Load Balancing Manager does not already list the cluster, connect to the cluster.
To start Network Load Balancing Manager, open a Command prompt. From the command window, type NLBMgr, and then press ENTER.
- To start Network Load Balancing Manager, open a Command prompt. From the command window, type NLBMgr, and then press ENTER.
Right-click the cluster where you want to add the host and choose Add Host To Cluster.
Enter the host's name and click Connect.
After you click Connect the network adapters that are available on the host that you typed will be listed at the bottom of the dialog box. Click the network adapter that you want to use for Network Load Balancing and then click Next. The IP address configured on this network adapter will be the dedicated IP address for this host.
Configure the remaining host parameters as appropriate, then click Finish.
To ensure that Network Load Balancing Manager is displaying the most recent host information, right-click the cluster and click Refresh. This step is necessary because the host properties that Network Load Balancing Manager displays are a copy of the host properties that were configured the last time Network Load Balancing Manager connected to that host. When you click Refresh, Network Load Balancing Manager reconnects to the cluster and displays updated information.
Similarly, if a host is added to a cluster through the host's local Network Connections rather than through Network Load Balancing Manager, the host will not be visible by Network Load Balancing Manager until you Refresh the connection as described.
When using Network Load Balancing Manager, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the host that you are configuring, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. If you are configuring a cluster or host by running Network Load Balancing Manager from a computer that is not part of the cluster, you do not need to be a member of the Administrators group on that computer. For more information, see Default local groups, Default groups, and Using Run as.
To start Network Load Balancing Manager, open a Command prompt. From the command window, type NLBMgr, and then press ENTER.
When you add additional hosts after the first host is added, the subsequent hosts will automatically inherit the cluster port rules from the initial host.
Information about functional differences
Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.

Our project is to profile the various Vertex and Pixel, Geometry shaders used within DirectX 10 or 11 SDK application or with Game (BioShock, Far Cry etc..) applications.
Now we need an technical understanding of when the Shaders (VS,GS,PS) are being used or rather executed within pipeline, we know that during Draw() DirectX API call, the setting shader get's executed within the Pipeline.
Is there any other API than Draw() call, which can internally execute or utilize the Shader being set to the Pipeline using SetShader()?
Is the Device API's (such as, Map, unmap, getResourcem and Copy resource) manipulate the shaders indirectly?
Any pointers related to usage of shaders within DirectX runtime or graphics driver other than DirectX Draw() API calls will be helpful for us to identify and have robust implementation.

A Soil Probe for In-Situ Near Infrared Spectroscopic Measurement of Soil Carbon
Award Information
Small Business Information
Veris Technologies, Inc.

Business Contact:
Larry Kejr
(785) 825-1980
(785) 825-1980
Research Institution:
Abstract76063S International initiatives are underway to reduce greenhouse gases in the air. The sequestration of carbon in agricultural soils is a candidate technology for achieving this reduction; however, more rapid and less expensive methods of measuring soil carbon are needed. This project will develop a soil probe for carbon measurement based on near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The probe will measure carbon and bulk density in order to provide a rapid inventory of carbon on a field or project scale. In Phase I, a probe was designed that delivered low noise spectra during in situ field measurements in Kansas, Missouri, and Iowa. Calibrations using these spectra were used to measure soil carbon with a root-mean-square error of 0.5% or less. Phase II will automate the optical reference on the probe to make it practical for usage by a more general end-user. In addition, modifications will be made to the probe geometry to increase the accuracy of bulk density measurements. Finally, effective calibration methods will be identified, tested, and integrated into a user-friendly interface. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by the awardee: The soil carbon measurements made by this probe should find use in auditting sequestered soil carbon, the subject of carbon trading and carbon offsets. In addition, the probe and calibration methods would be applicable to the measurement of other soil attributes that are important for making good agronomic decisions.

1543 Tasting Notes
Thanks Sil for the sample!!
I quite enjoyed this cuppa. At first, hot, I was getting an earthy floral note. Not very sweet compared to what I expected or knew of fruity teas.
Then as I sipped more, a honey/berry note emerged. If I concentrate, it actually does resemble rhubarb though, but vaguely. Definitely some strawberry in there. No sugar or milk, and I gobbled it down. Not very common in a black non-asian tea, for me!!
Hot, I did not like this at all!! How odd.
It was musty and a bit bitter, but not in a cranberry way.
Now that its cooled, I can taste the fruitiness a bit more while any must has faded. There's also something mildly spicy in there, though I can't figure out quite what.
In terms of a classic cranberry tea, it isn't exactly what I imagined or craved, so I guess the perfect cranberry tea hunt must continue.
Overall, I'd say that it does evoke a theme of "autumn" so points for that.
I think their Boston blend has cranberries too. It sounded intriguing, but when I tried it it was very similar to hibiscus.
Hmmm. Now I am curious.
I don't mind hibiscus IF in moderation, and if it contributes to the taste of the fruit. But I can't stand it when they add so much that all you taste is sour!
Cranberry Pear from DT is my favourite cranberry tea. Most seem to use hibiscus to emulate the tartness of cranberry, which wrecks it.
Lately I've been forgetting to pack my traveling tea pouch. So when I end up at the boyfriends place, this is what I've been having on occasion. Not bad, if I'm actually in the mood for chai. Sweet, bold, and savoury enough to hit the right spots. Much better than the to go version you can get in the shop. Luckily he is a lover of milk so I always have some for my tea. (I only have milk in beverages generally… tea, coffee, smoothies etc)
Bah. Either way after a whole day of kid pile-ons (he has two) a cuppa this baby is heaven. Funny, there was a time I really didn't care for it, and now I look forward tp a cup… heck I would actually buy it for my place, loose!!
I really should get back on the "keep a pouch or three in my purse" bandwagon – if I can find my little portable tin so leaves remain unsquished!
Do you know why my handle here is Indigobloom? Can ya guess? I dare you to guess…
It's partly because indigo is my fave colour. Seriously.
Actually, its the colour the the sky on a cloudless (usually summer) night right before true night blue sets in, right after sunset. Kindof a royal blue but darker, and some light behind it. I don't catch it often, but oh my it is gorgeous. The sunrise version is even more breathtaking but lets face it, I'm rarely up that early and outside – but when I am its a real treat.
Anyhow, this tea has me excited given that with a full cup, it matches my fave colour precisely. I could just sit here and stare at it forever. But then I'd turn into a pretty boring person so here I am writing the review while I steal occasional glances at my mug.
As for the taste, I find it relatively pleasant. A little earthy in a flower like way. Sweet but not overly. A tad vegetal as well though not in a way I can pinpoint. Yes I do indeed like it! Not love, but definitely not too far from it. High marks for the colour.
Be careful with straining, and any falling on your counter tops. I have not had a stain, but I have wiped it right away hoping to prevent one.
Welps. This is definitely just an average oolong now, after all that time! To be fair, I've had it for a few years now. Too bad we bought so much that I couldn't drink it down very fast.
Perhaps I can use it up in Kombucha. I have a lot of tea that needs to be used up.
I wonder how many baked goods I can use tea in…
I have seriously been only buying black teas for a while now, everything else takes a long time to use up (aside from puerh)
I noticed today that Numi is putting recipes on the back of their boxes, so maybe check out their website?
TeaBrat, I hear you on that. I think my ratio for green/blacks is around 3:1. I can't wait til I get my cupboard down to a reasonable level where I can buy only what I drink and never throw any tea out!
OMGsrsly oooh awesome tip, thanks!! Maybe I'll try the Tiramisu :P
I'm making Kombucha for the first time!
My jug isn't nearly as big as it should be so we'll see how things work out. I cut the recipe by two thirds so I'm a little worried that the the ratio may be off in some way. (do you need a minimum amount of anything to get the party started? I don't know…)
Bah. I guess I have to wait and see. This is the not so fun part. I'll have to rely on other teas to keep me entertained!
It should! Oolong makes the BEST booch!
I need to find some nice big non metal jars and get mine going again..
Bear With Me, I used an oolong that isn't the best quality but is great for mixing and experiments, cooking etc. So hopefully I added enough! or I brewed it for long enough. Different recipes I saw called for various lengths of time… so many factors to look at! LOL

World Player of the Year 09-10 (So Far)
I think Drogba should be in the mix. He's scored many important goals for Chelsea this season. Rooney would be a good nomination. As far as I can see the other players in the BPL giving really good performances are the ones that are from teams that are 4th and below. I won't include Liverpool players. Not because I'm a United fan but they've been disappointing for most of the season.
I've not watched enough La Liga and Seria A to comment on their players.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Rooney has been playing better than any other player this season, he has also scored more goals in the league ad world cup qualifying. Drogba having a good season but is not up to rooneys standards.
As for messi, he has been very quiet this season and has not scored as many goals as rooney or drogba for club or country. Ronaldo is definitely in the mix for his goals to games record, but...the world player of the year usually goes to the best player at the world cup or the player who carries his team to the final (at least) of Campions league. eg last year
Winner of ECC World Player of year
Barca Messi
Man U Ronaldo
AC Milan Kaka
Barca Cannavaro*
*Was given award for performances at world cup.
Personally I think if Rooney can improve on the 2 he scored against milan and finish with 7 or 8 in the ECC he will win the award.
- 1 Reply to Alex T
Scoring more goals doesn't mean you are the best. Especially Rooney scored MOST tap-ins or poaching goals this season. Quite unusual for Rooney because there were far too many goals like that for him this season.
Even if Rooney won the best player eventually if his team reach the final, I would still see this as ONE-OFF glory for him. Scoring tap-ins or poaching goals most of the time will not constitute the best in the world.
So, my verdict is....
Rooney the best player in the world? Far from it.
Rooney the BEST POACHER in the world so far? DEFINITELY

A crooked frame usually is due to loose hardware at the joints. Whether you fix it with glue, additional hardware or both, you need to straighten it and make sure it stays straight while you are working on it. A square surely will help. If you don't have one of these, clamp the frame to the corner of a counter or tabletop that you know is perfectly square. Use this as a guide for your repairs and leave it in place until the glue has set up, if using glue.
Tips from readers
Dear Carrells: I know that tape doesn't make a proper clamp, but I love to use electrical tape to hold things together while glue is setting up or until I do get a permanent repair made. Electrical tape is waterproof and really stretchy, so you can pull things together really tightly. I always keep a roll inside the house as well as in my garage workshop. I plan to put a roll in each of my cars, too. You never know when you might need some. – T.N.R.
Dear Al: In our new kitchen, the sink is on an outside wall, and those pipes froze last weekend when we had a freeze. I need to insulate them for sure. To thaw them out slowly, we just opened up the cabinet doors and let the heat from the house warm them up enough to thaw them. It took about two hours, but I'm glad to say that we have no leaks. – C.E.
Dear Kelly: I like my old canister vac, but it doesn't have a light like my upright does. I added a small, magnetic flashlight to the bottom of the metal hose so I can just flip it on and see when I'm vacuuming in the closet or under the bed. It works great and stays on most of the time. If your hoses are plastic, I would suggest taping it in place, as it will hold better. – Y.T.
Dear Al: I noticed that we were getting air in under our doors – the front, back and attic doorway. I went to the hardware store to see what it had in stock. I found some door sweeps for only about $2 apiece. They were easy to install, with just a few screws on each one, and all three doors are no longer letting in cold air. Well, that was super easy! – V.C.
Q: I want to add a border of tiles to my bathtub wall. I bought some really neat used tiles from a salvage yard and have cleaned them up. What do I need to use to cut them with? What type of adhesive should I use? – R.B.
A: We love to see people using vintage building supplies. Use a good wet saw for cutting tiles. Practice on scrap tiles first so you don't make too many mistakes on the good tiles. Just use standard tile adhesive. Good luck.

"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."
"I really like this card. It was easy to design, and it's very simple yet elegant. The paper quality is very good. I chose the matte finish and it came out great! The reason I gave print quality only 4 stars was because I received 2 envelopes that were printed on with addresses of people I don't even know. That's 2 less envelopes that I can use. Otherwise, I would absolutely order this card again!"
"Great card. Since it was square and would have required extra postage I got the rectangular envelopes that square card fits in but no extra postage requird. They were very tight to get card in and only fit one way. Would not get these envelopes again!"
"A very simple, classic design! I had 3 sets of photos that I was considering for the card...a sporting event, a black tie event and a graduation. I had a hard time deciding which to use as this design works with everything! I am very happy with the finished card and received great feedback."

They've Killed President Lincoln! (1971 TV Movie)
Plot Summary
Hosted and narrated by Richard Basehart, this dramatization of the events leading up to and following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States, takes the form of a documentary as it might have looked and sounded in 1865, had motion pictures existed back then. Utilizing simulated footage and, in some cases, genuine historical photographs, this TV special speculates that assassin John Wilkes Booth was part of a broad conspiracy against the president, and that if such a conspiracy did exist, that Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton may have been involved somehow. Includes recreated excerpts of "Our American Cousin," the play Lincoln was watching at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., the night that history was forever and irrevocably altered.- Written by Eugene Kim <firstname.lastname@example.com>

Retin A May Help Avoid Diabetes Ulcers
Skin treatments containing retinoic acid could help prevent skin ulcers in people with diabetes, research shows.
Ulcers are far more than a cosmetic problem. They signal diabetes-related problems with wound healing.
Complications from diabetes, like nerve and blood vessel damage, increase the risk of ulcers. And if the nerves that signal pain have been damaged, the patient may not know he or she has an ulcer.
That can turn minor wounds into big problems. "Diabetic ulcers of the lower limbs and feet, in particular, are associated with high morbidity and often lead to amputation," says a new study from the University of Michigan.
Retinoic acid might help avoid the problem, say the researchers.
In lab tests, retinoic acid helped the skin wounds of diabetic rats heal faster. That could cut down on chronic ulcers, say James Varani, PhD, and colleagues.
Retinoic Acid's Reputation
Retinoic acid is no stranger to skin lotions. Made from vitamin A, it's the active ingredient in prescription treatments Retin A, and Renova.
Retinoic acid and other derivatives of vitamin A have also been used for skin problems including acne and signs of sun damage (wrinkles, brown spots, and rough skin).
However, the potions are powerful. They can irritate the skin, causing redness, dryness, and flakiness. These medications should not be used if you are pregnant or if you plan to become pregnant.
In the latest study, a retinoic-acid-containing lotion was applied to diabetic and nondiabetic rats every other day for eight weeks. Other rats got the same lotion but without the retinoic acid.
After eight weeks, the treatments ended and the rats got minor skin wounds.
As expected, the wounds healed faster in the nondiabetic rats.
Among the diabetic rats, wounds healed faster in the retinoic acid group. Within six days, 85% of their wound had healed, compared with 41% for the diabetic rats that didn't get retinoic acid.
The healing wounds also looked a bit different in the diabetic rats that had gotten retinoic acid. Their scabs had fewer abnormalities, says the study.
Since faster-healing wounds are less likely to form chronic ulcers, retinoic acid might curb the risk of diabetic skin ulcers, the researchers conclude.
