Key should call economic summit after last week's shocking unemployment figures, NZ Herald's O'Sullivan says; 'Shrugging his shoulders doesn't cut it'; Your view?
By Alex Tarrant
His 2008 government kicked off with the "jobs summit", but Prime Minister John Key now needs to convene a "real jobs summit" following last week's dismal unemployment figures, NZ Herald columnist Fran O'Sullivan says.
Your view? Will it help? What would help?
O'Sullivan writes:
The dreadful news was clearly counter to the advice the Government has received from the Treasury.
But instead of galvanising Key into action - through orchestrating a real Jobs Summit and incentivising employers to take on more workers - the Prime Minister waffled.
Labour youth affairs spokeswoman Megan Woods was more compelling when she said New Zealand was facing a youth job crisis with one in four young people unemployed.
"There are no jobs for them. There are 85,000 young people not in education, training or work in this country. That has increased by 18,000 since National took office."

For Key to simply shrug his shoulders on this score doesn't cut it.
She concludes:
It is four years since the global financial crisis exposed several of our over-leveraged companies as relative basket cases. Some survivors among the externally focused companies can no longer withstand the effects of a high dollar on revenues. They have had to trim staff to stay in business.
The Government ignored the move by opposition parties to launch an "inquiry" into problems the manufacturing sector has faced. Of course the opposition parties were politicking.
But that doesn't mean the Government should not face up to the worrying concerns itself.
For months we've heard how the Canterbury rebuild would be the major economic growth kicker for New Zealand.
The statistics show growth is indeed occurring in Christchurch.
But faith is no excuse for a failure to act. It's time, surely, for Key to call an economic summit to address the issues New Zealand faces.
We owe it to the young people who are yet to even get on the employment ladder to be less ostrich-like as a nation.

Well considering leaving it
Well considering leaving it where it is will cause a recession if not a depression then "nothing is happening" is a bright alternative.
The best analogy I have is trying to fly a plane higher and higher, at some point it stalls and falls...and falls a long way, maybe even to earth....nasty.....
What p*sses me off is the ppl who have been "sensible" with debt etc are going to be the what sounds like the f ew paying others who are bankrupts debt off aka Irelend. Or one huge defualt, aka Iceland franky Im going for huge default....either way is bad anyway, might as well aim to make sure those responsible also carry some of the cost.
Suggestion #1: Look at
Suggestion #1: Look at relocating some of the excellent homes that are currently being crushed at the behest of the Government in ChCh. 3000 homes relocated could generate thousands of jobs plus thousands of affordable new homes relocated throughout the lower south island.
Suggestion #2: In Auckland sell as many state houses as possible in the central suburbs and use the money to build attractive modern housing in outer areas. Not high density infill ghettos. This would cost nothing (in net terms) but would produce hundreds of milliions of dollars in economic activity and better the standard and affordability of housing.
How simple is that?
yep good idea. But it is
yep good idea. But it is unlikely to happen unfortunately, as all colours of govt seem to have problems with "community dislocation". I say stuff community dislocation, there's not much positive with the communties as they stand, build new communities on the city edges that tick all the right boxes in terms of good urban design centred around good community facilities, take the stigma out of existing communities and free up all that prime central Auckland property for high end development
O'Sullivan in the past has
O'Sullivan in the past has seemed to me to be head of the John Key fan club, so if she's turned, then the Nats, and New Zealand must be in trouble. I note there's not a single comment on page 1 of her article, that seems to think the Nats are doing the right things. Most in fact seem to have observed that the government is doing nothing at all. So if only for their self interest in terms of any chance at reelection, it is indeed time they changed course. Whether a jobs summit is the right answer is questionable, although if it gave the government an excuse to make some desperately needed, if relatively obvious, changes, then so be it.
Ironically there is another article in the herald giving Bill English 8 out of 10 for his performance as Finance Minister. Am not sure which of the record fiscal, or current account deficits, or unemployment, qualify him for that score.
There is though a good but simple article on why selling houses to ourselves is not really making us richer- in fact is just driving up debt, and bank profits.
I think she is just kicking
I think she is just kicking for touch. An economic summit isn't needed. We do not need more talking, some announcements, a few promises, more delays...
We need some real policy initiatives to reflect the problems we have now with a housing market on the boil, the manufacturing and export sectors on there knees and soon out cold. Unemployment rising, the exchange rate rising, private debt levels rising. Not to mention our international competitors manipulating the market by printing money.
Bernard's recent article gave the options. The government needs to act.
Well I think he's managed to
Well I think he's managed to get un-employment back to the levels it was last time he was finance minister?
Go, BE....
Gerry as a teacher of great reknown has obviously determined BE is worth an 8/10.
No summit needed as from what
No summit needed as from what I can see - given the failing of the bureaucracy to get their act together - business leaders are producing plenty of sensible directional comment and discussion papers.
In the past we'd have looked to a leadership coup to sort the mess out - John, Gerry, Hekia, Paula, Kate all have to go. Bill and Judith need to get together for a chat - co-leaders would be a refreshing idea from the Nat Party. And bring Lockwood back to the benches whilst also restoring Nick Smith a place in Cabinet as well. It's that kind of depth in experience that is needed to run the country.
Aero Club Aviation
Aero Club Aviation Newsflash
Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee, announces huge increases in the costs of hobby flying. This X St Bedes woodwork teacher states "The increases will lead to improved operations in the future".
Improved operations for who?
- Private pilot licence up from $56 to $230 per annum
- Medical up to a fixed $313 (usually per annum)
- Auditing of the logbook up from $135.70 per hour to $284 per hour.
I am so pleased that I am red / green colour blind. Never stood a chance of getting into the pilot seat.
And I am also weak on the art of percentages. Can someone do the inflation sums for me. Surely a bit higher than 3%!
My own hobby plane is a $108 Jaycar Metal helicopter. Such fun.
Would the aero club liquidators please step forward now. Well done Gerry. Another crop of flying instructors heading towards Paula Bennet's WINZ queue - fast.


text: Hi, I upgraded gtkmm to 3.2.0 according to BLFS, yesterday. Then, some packages could not be built anymore, complaining about some missing libraries. Comparing the libraries created with the ones mentioned in the book, I noticed important differences. Then I decided to get the latest versions. The following libraries were created: gtkmm-3.3.14 | gtkmm-2.24.2: /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.so.1.1.0 | /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4.so.1.1.0 /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.so.1 | /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4.so.1 /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.so | /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4.so /usr/lib/libgdkmm-3.0.la | /usr/lib/libgdkmm-2.4.la It seems that there is a one to one correspondencence between gtk+ and gtkmm, so, is it plausible that both versions should go in the book? -- []s, Fernando

Responsive design is an umbrella term that means a website is designed to "respond" well no matter what browser or device a person is using. A subcategory of responsive design is mobile readiness, which became a reality in 2014. This means that the majority of people use mobile devices to access the internet, which makes responsive design even more critical. Make sure your website(s) are responding well and mobile ready before the end of the year.
The reality is that responsive design will never be permanent; it will evolve as needs and devices evolve. Looking forward and predicting the future of responsive design can save you time, money and trouble in the long run. Here are some of the best, easiest and cheapest ways to improve your responsive design before the year comes to a close. Tick as many off your list as possible to ensure a prime website.
1. Ditch the flash, bells and whistles
The more accoutrements you have on a website such as mega-sized images, videos, pop-ups and ads, the slower your page load speed. Even one second longer of waiting will have people clicking away from your site. Plus, this can also lower your SEO success rate since it reads as spam and slow sites aren't in keeping with quality designs.
2. Consider a mobile website version
While responsive design in and of itself should ensure that your site looks great no matter what device it's being accessed on, it might be easier to have a mobile version created. Your consumers will have an option of going to the mobile version or "regular" version when visiting on a mobile devices. Mobile websites are simpler, cleaner and faster.
3. Think about an app
Does your website need a complementary app? It doesn't work for every field or every business, but when it works it can really take off. This allows consumers to get the nuggets they need right on their device's desktop and they can even access it offline. Apps are easier to create than ever, or they can be designed for you at a competitive rate.
4. Embrace neutrality and sans-serif fonts
If you use bright colors and kitschy fonts, your site will be outdated within a year. Instead, stick to classic designs that you can see lasting a lifetime. Responsive design is also about mass appeal, and it's easy to go off track.
Is your site responding like you want? If not, it's time to change things up.

Fire departments across Ellis County will take part in an intensive training exercise beginning Sunday morning.
Less than a handful of people know where the training will take place or what will be involved, Ellis County Rural Fire Director Dick Klaus said.
The session begins at 9 a.m.
That's when Klaus and Ellis County Emergency Management Director Bill Ring will hand off exercise instructions to a fire department in the county, detailing the circumstances they will face.
Klaus and Ring will observe the training and responses by the departments and offer critiques.
Fire departments from Hays, Victoria, Ellis and all seven departments within the rural fire department will be involved and likely will be called upon to respond to the exercise. The sheriff's office and Ellis County Emergency Medical Services will be participating as well.
"We will be having a drill somewhere in Ellis County," Klaus said.
The call will be paged out like normal, and Klaus wanted to get the word out early that it's a drill so scanner-listeners won't panic when the call is made.
"We want to see what our people can do," he said of the drill. "I'll be an observer."
Klaus simply isn't saying where the exercise will be located.
This is something of a rotating program, where different departments determine the nature of the incident and who responds.
"This is something that takes place every year," Klaus said. "It just changes places."
All of the rural fire districts will be involved, he said.
Ellis and Victoria, he said, will hold back rescue vehicles in the event of an emergency, such as a crash on Interstate 70, during the exercise.
The training is expected to last until noon.
Klaus said the departments won't use any water during the exercise, but they will set up trucks as if they're fighting the fires, and they will deploy fire hoses.
"We just want people to know there's a drill going on," he said.

Abstract: In this study, the energy utilization and environmental aspects of the rice processing industries in Bangladesh was analyzed. Rice husk, a milling by-product of rice, is used as a source of thermal energy to produce steam for parboiling of raw rice. The rice is mostly dried on a concrete floor under the sunshine. In mechanical drying, rice husks are used as a source of primary energy. In Bangladesh, the annual estimated energy used in 2000 for the drying of rice by sunshine was 10.7 million GJ and for drying and parboiling by rice husks it was 48.2 million GJ. These amounts will increase to 20.5 and 92.5 million GJ in 2030, respectively. Electrical energy consumption for mechanical drying and milling of rice was calculated as 1.83 million GJe and 3.51 million GJe in 2000 and in 2030, respectively. Biogenic carbon dioxide emission from burning of rice husk is renewed every year by the rice plant. Both the biogenic and non-biogenic carbon dioxide emissions in 2000 were calculated as 5.7 and 0.4 million tonnes, respectively, which will increase to 10.9 and 0.7 million tonnes in 2030. The demand of energy for rice processing increases every year, therefore, energy conservation in rice processing industries would be a viable option to reduce the intensity of energy by increasing the efficiency of rice processing systems which leads to a reduction in emissions and an increased supply of rice husk energy to other sectors as well.

McAlister laughs at last
Jim McAlister can now see the funny side of his extraordinarily quick sending-off against Celtic but is hoping it has not left him back down the pecking order at Hamilton.The 25-year-old has struggled to make his mark at the Lanarkshire club since signing last summer and only recently came back in to Reid's plans after four months on the sidelines.However, after coming on as substitute against Celtic at New Douglas Park last week, the former Morton player was red-carded by referee Willie Collum after less than a minute for a crunching tackle on Hoops defender Mark Wilson.After being banned for the defeat to Rangers at Ibrox last weekend, McAlister is in the squad for the trip to Inverness and is determined to make amends for his dismissal - if he gets the chance."I can laugh about it now but at the time it wasn't very funny," he told Press Association Sport."At the time I felt I had let the club, my team-mates and my manager down."

Researchers Don't Ask How You Feel, They Use Brain Activity Instead
[ Watch the Video: Identifying Emotions Using Brain Activity ]
Brett Smith for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Instead of asking someone how they feel, a group of researchers at Carnegie Mellon has found a way to identify a person's emotion based on brain activity, according to a new report in the journal PLoS ONE.
Previous efforts to view emotions through brain imaging have been hampered by study participants' reluctance to report emotion or emotional responses that are not consciously registered.
"This research introduces a new method with potential to identify emotions without relying on people's ability to self-report," said lead author Karim Kassam, an assistant professor of social and decision sciences at CMU. "It could be used to assess an individual's emotional response to almost any kind of stimulus, for example, a flag, a brand name or a political candidate."
To repetitively and reliably evoke different emotions from participants, the researchers first recruited actors from CMU's School of Drama.
"Our big breakthrough was my colleague Karim Kassam's idea of testing actors, who are experienced at cycling through emotional states," said George Loewenstein, a professor of economics and psychology at the university. "We were fortunate, in that respect, that CMU has a superb drama school."
While being shown words for nine different emotions "anger, disgust, envy, fear, happiness, lust, pride, sadness and shame" ten actors tried to enter each particular emotional state multiple times while inside an fMRI scanner.
To discount any potential effect of actors actively trying to emote, a second phase of the study presented participants with pictures of neutral and disgusting photos that they had not seen before to generate a genuine reaction. The computer models generated by the results of the first phase were able to correctly predict the emotional content of photos being viewed using the brain activity of the participant.
The researchers also found that relatively equivalent accuracy levels could be achieved by computer models even when using only one of a number of different regions of the human brain.
"This suggests that emotion signatures aren't limited to specific brain regions, such as the amygdala, but produce characteristic patterns throughout a number of brain regions," said co-author Vladimir Cherkassky, from CMU's psychology department.
The research team found their system was best with respect to happiness and least accurate for identifying envy. It rarely confused positive and negative feelings, identifying lust most reliably due to its distinct pattern of neural activity.
"We found that three main organizing factors underpinned the emotion neural signatures, namely the positive or negative valence of the emotion, its intensity "mild or strong, and its sociality" involvement or non-involvement of another person," said co-author Marcel Just, a CMU professor of psychology. "This is how emotions are organized in the brain."
The research team said they plan to use their model on a number of emotion research projects, including identifying the suppression of emotions and experiencing multiple emotions at once, such as feelings of joy and envy felt upon hearing a friend's good news.
The CMU research is part of the University's recently launched Brain, Mind and Learning initiative, which is dedicated to innovation in the laboratory and focusing on real-world problems.

If you have a vacation home or investment property with an older, expensive mortgage, consider a refinance so you can take advantage of historically low mortgage rates.
At a time when financial constraints have forced some borrowers to sell second properties, refinancing can help make the property more affordable.
"You can borrow money at a very low rate, and that makes financial sense," says Gibran Nicholas, CEO of CMPS Institute, a national organization that certifies mortgage lenders and bankers in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
If you're able to lower your mortgage rate by 1 percentage point or more, it could save you thousands of dollars, says Michael Moskowitz, president of Equity Now, a mortgage lending company in New York City.
Refinancing a vacation home is not much more complicated than getting a loan on a primary residence. However, getting approved for any mortgage is much more involved than it was before the housing crisis, Moskowitz, says.
In order to qualify, you'll likely have to provide tax returns, several bank statements and proof of income to show your ability to repay the loan, he says.
However, there are some key differences between getting a mortgage on a primary residence, and securing a loan on a vacation or investment home.
Higher rates for second-home refinances
For starters, homeowners likely will pay a higher interest rate on the refinance of a second home or investment property.
Nicholas says that with a vacation home -- also known as a "second home" -- "interest rates are comparable to rates for a primary home," although you may have to pay one-eighth to one-quarter percent more.
Meanwhile, mortgage rates for investment properties usually run about 1 percentage point above owner-occupied residential mortgages, says Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com.
The amount can be more or less, depending upon whether fees are incorporated into the interest rate or not.
Fannie Mae's Loan-Level Pricing Adjustment matrix adds an investment property surcharge that ranges from 1.75 percent of the loan amount for mortgages of no more than 60 percent of the property value, to 3.75 percent for 80 percent loans. That translates to a rate increase of 0.5 percent to more than 1 percent.
Home equity is essential to refinance a second property
You will need to have equity in your property to refinance it -- plan on at least 20 percent, says Matt Hackett, mortgage risk manager at Equity Now. The home must appraise for an amount that is high enough to allow an acceptable loan-to-value ratio, he says.
That's a different standard than for primary residences, where homeowners may be able to qualify for Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing with more lenient equity requirements, Hackett says.
It is difficult to refinance a second home if you have less than 20 percent equity. Moskowitz says it is possible to find a mortgage lender that will allow as little as 10 percent equity, but you may end up paying extra for it.
For example, you will probably end up paying for private mortgage insurance -- which can add nearly 1 percent to the payment -- in order to get the loan approved.
The difference between a second home and an investment home
There are some arcane rules for what constitutes an investment home versus a second home.
Usually, this hinges upon whether or not you need the income the property generates to cover the required mortgage payment -- in which case the property is likely to be deemed an "investment home" -- or whether your income without that cash flow can support the mortgage.
Not all lenders will finance investment homes, or finance all kinds of investment homes.
For a lender to deem the property a "second home" -- even if your income without the rent is sufficient -- the home must be a "reasonable distance" away from your primary home. That is usually akin to about 50 miles or so. It can be closer if the home is in an obvious vacation spot, such as near a beach or skiing area.
If it is just a plain old home not all that far from where you live, the property is usually treated as an investment since you really have no compelling reason to stay there instead of your primary home.
Also, to be considered a second home, guidelines generally state that the borrower must occupy the property for some portion of the year. If the property and occupancy fail these tests, the property is treated as an investment.
Fannie Mae also lists additional requirements for your second home:
- It must be a one-unit place, because duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are generally rented out
- It must be suitable for year-round occupancy
- You must have exclusive control over the property -- no management companies and no time-share arrangements
What is more expensive to finance?
It is considerably more expensive and difficult to finance an investment home than a vacation home.
This is because when you refinance an investment property, the property's income is used to help you qualify for the mortgage. If something happens to that income, you may not be able to afford the loan payments.
Additionally, people may be considerably less attached to their rental across town than they are to their vacation house where the family celebrates July Fourth every year. As such, borrowers are statistically less likely to default on vacation homes.
Second homes and occupancy fraud
Many homeowners acquire an investment property by purchasing it first as a primary residence, then converting it to a rental when they buy a new home for personal use.
If you originally financed the property as a primary residence, the income from the property was not a consideration. But now, you will have to document the property's cash flow with your tax returns.
If it hasn't been rented out long enough for you to have a Schedule E, mortgage underwriters will credit you with 75 percent of the rent. (You will have to provide signed rental agreements and proof that the rent has been paid.) Or, an appraiser may be asked to create a rental schedule showing what the property should rent for.
Since refinancing a vacation home is cheaper and easier than refinancing an investment property, some owners are tempted to wrongly portray an investment property as their vacation home, says Hackett.
But they shouldn't bother, he says, because the lender will review monthly bill statements and other records to check on the accuracy of the loan application.
"From an underwriting standpoint, we spend a lot of our time figuring out if it's truly a second home," he says.
If you own a second property, consider refinancing while mortgage rates are still low for the chance to save thousands.

VENDE FLECHAS INDIANS. These Coahuiltecan Indians are known through a single missionary report (1794) from Nuestra Señora del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga Mission near Goliad. In this report they are listed as a subdivision of the Aranama Indians, and at that time only six Vende Flechas Indians remained. The name, which is Spanish for "arrow sellers," suggests specialization in a particular craft. Presumably the original territory of the Vende Flechas Indians was the same as that of the Aranamas.

Congressman Keith Ellison (Minneapolis) received a 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) in its Congressional Scorecard for the 111th Congress. The scorecard rates members of Congress on their support for legislation affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.
"I am honored to have my work in Congress recognized by the tireless advocates for equality at the Human Rights Campaign," Ellison said. "My life's work is based on the principle that all Americans, regardless of race, class, creed, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity, must be guaranteed equal rights," Ellison stated. "In light of the recent horrific tragedies within the LGBT community, I can hardly think of a more critical time to combat division and hate by raising a message of equality and inclusion and I thank HRC for their dedication to this work," Ellison concluded.

The newly single reality star headed to Daytona Beach for a crazy, party-filled weekend with her BFFs — her first spring break without a boyfriend along!
After splitting with her longtime boyfriend Kyle King, there's no doubt Teen Mom star Maci Bookout is single and ready to mingle! Maci spent her spring break partying hard in Florida with her friends — she even hit the beach with notorious bad boy Adam Royer from MTV's The Real World! Good thing little Bentley wasn't there to witness his mom's party-girl behavior! The 3-year-old was back home in Tennessee with his dad, Maci's ex Ryan Edwards.
Maci tweeted revealing pics of her hot bikini bod and a scandalous T-shirt that says "F*ck Me I'm Famous!"
"Thanks for my present @kyle_regal i hate you," the 20-year-old tweeted with a pic of the shocking shirt that the Motocross racer had given her.
BFFs — what do YOU think of Maci's scandalous weekend? Is it OK to act like a wild Spring Breaker or does she need to be a role model to Bentley?

Maci is well worth the extra money! Janelle no so much. Favorite teen mom what a joke! 2nd most hated ( amber #1 ) most likely! I watch this show with my Granddaughters and we have a lot of conversations we never would if it were not for these girls giving up their privacy to air their lives for us! Every middle schooler and high schooler should see this show, then some states wouldn't have to make women get probed with an ultrasound wand before their abortion because they wouldn't get pregnant if they saw how hard it is!
Posted at 7:34 PM on March 18, 2012
You can't knock a person for having fun… I'm a 29 year old mother and I still enjoy myself. Just because she's in the public eye doesn't give people the right to judge her. From watching teen mom I believe maci does an amazing job caring for Bentley. Finally I'd like to add would anybody Ryan if he acted the same??

This headline is so misleading! Maci loves supercross and that is where the tour was this weekend! I left my twins and older daughter in good hands so my husband and I could enjoy the supercross finals in Vegas last year! Am I a bad parent for that? Good for you Maci, hope you enjoyed your weekend :)

Easy As Pie
By Carloz L.
from Wheeling, IL
About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Panasonic Black Cordless Handset:
I started with a two phone set-up and liked them so much I quickly added a third. That was several years ago. Recently, a new place with more rooms required an increase to six phones and I was pleased to find this model still readily available and still affordable. This phone earns high marks for many reasons such as its very intuitive functionality and ease of set-up. There is a lot to be said for a product that you can just pick up and operate as intended by simply looking at it. Battery life is good, with hours of talk time and it remains charged for very long periods off the charger if not used. All handsets have access to the same address book and any phone in the system works with any cradle, so there's no need to keep track of which phone goes where. The sound quality is good even in my backyard or garage. My wife uses it for conference calls from home, so we use the speaker phone all the time. As for Cons, the phone book only has space for fifty numbers and that might not be enough for some folks. But it also has storage for 30 blocked numbers. We get so many unsolicited calls that this is one of my favorite features. This is not a fancy phone with so many features you can't learn them all, much less use them all. This is the perfect phone for someone who needs a basic phone that happens to be cordless. One more thing, it's not just well designed, it is well made. Besides having the basics covered, (lightweight, easy to use, legible display) it is seems pretty durable. I can't tell you how many times I have knocked it over face first on our granite kitchen counters and it remains unfazed. Works every time. Easy as pie. My highest recommendation.

do not have to replace whole unit when an handset goes out.We are very pleased with the service and the quick delivery we received.
GREAT and EASY
By LittleLu
from West Haven, CT
I dropped the handset in the dog's bowl of water and it wiped out the digtal display....so I ordered the companion phone and it was extremely easy to set up and pair with the answering system. I followed the instructions and to my gleeful surprise all the phone numbers stored on the phone that I dropped in the dog's water bowl copied over or paired to the new phone. 1-2-3 and it was done. Eventually, the water-logged one dried out and I keep it as a spare in the basement. Extremely easy to use and set up. Go for it people.

I am most likely headed up to the U-FIX-IT Automotive garage in Phoenix http://www.ufixitautomotive.com/ (Thanks to AMAES (Alex) for the info) next weekend (24/25 Sept) to install my new suspension and UCA's. If anyone wants to give me a hand (especially you Alex since you have done this install before) I would greatly appreciate it and am more than willing to pay for lunch or beers afterwards as re-payment.
Also, if someone is looking for a good lift, I will be selling my 5100's, Eibach springs, and rear leaf pack (TSB+AAL) once my expedition pack comes in. But if you want my suspension (gives about 2" of lift) and give a hand we might be able to do your truck and mine and I will give a smoking deal on everything.
I also have my URD short throw shifter to install if I have time.
So again, if anyone is interested post up on here as I would love to have some experianced help in this case.

I tried to recompile a Cyanogenmod kernel with btusb (one attempt within the kernel and the other as a module). The compile failed saying that btusb is returning an invalid pointer type.
My questions are, has anyone succeeded in doing this? I have seen posts about people discussing inserting the btusb module for other devices.
Is the Nexus 7 (2013) device unable to utilise this kernel module? Can anyone suggest what I may try or where I should look.
More details of what I've done to date are on request. I didn't want to write a long-winded post in the unlikelihood it will be answered.
Thank you.

Happy Halloween Ribbon Wreath
By: Kathleen George for Styrofoam Brand Foam
Do it yourself halloween crafts in only five easy steps. Hang a ribbon wreath on your door to add some color and holiday spirit.Bring it out every year for some great Halloween cheer.
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam:
- Wreath, Round Face, 12" x 2-1/2" x 1"
- Black ultra-fine glitter
- Black; orange pony beads, one package each
- Foam-safe black spray paint
- Ribbon, 1-1/4" wide: black grosgrain, 1 yd.; sheer orange, gold, black wire-edged, 5 yds. each
- Wire or thin black ribbon, 6" length
- Scissors
- Wooden skewer
- Ruler
- Low-temp glue gun and glue sticks
- Thick, white craft glue
- Optional: Large cardboard box
- If desired, place foam wreath inside large cardboard box outdoors or in well-ventilated area. Spray paint wreath black; sprinkle with glitter while wet. Let dry completely.
- Tie grosgrain ribbon into a bow with tails; set aside. Cut approximately twenty 4" lengths from each sheer ribbon color; cut more as needed to fill out wreath shape.
- Apply dot of glue to opening of a black pony bead; immediately insert one end of a sheer black ribbon length through hole until tight. Let dry; trim excess ribbon above bead. Repeat to bead all black and gold ribbons black; bead all orange ribbons orange. Let dry.
- Refer to photo to join beaded ribbon lengths to wreath. Beginning just inside wreath opening, dot wreath with glue and use wooden skewer to push free end of one ribbon length into foam. Continue adding ribbons in concentric circles around wreath, cutting and beading more ribbons as needed. Offset ribbons slightly from circle to circle.
- Use fingers to bend ribbon lengths toward outside edge of wreath as shown. Twist wire ends, or knot thin ribbon ends, together to create hanging loop. Glue ends into center top back of wreath.

considering the directions reference a picture "to join beaded ribbon lengths to wreath" and there is no photo, I can only assume that we take the center of the ribbon and "push... into foam", but I don't understand the "concentric circles around the wreath" reference. Any help?
This looks Great! Cna't wait to make it. You can use this for Thanksgiving. Just change the one color of the ribbons.
I think this one is great and also it can be made in other colors for other seasons.

OMB pushing agencies to use single system for online transactions
The Office of Management and Budget is circulating a draft memo to CFOs to all-but-mandate the use of the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP) run by the Treasury Department. Sources say agencies would have to justify to OMB why they wouldn't use the IPP. It's part of the administration's effort to push agencies toward more financial management shared services.

I have been making this for years (probably since before Amanda and Merrill were born - Yikes!). I thank my mother who was a definite Francophile. This is probably the single best combination of flavors that I have ever had in my mouth at one time.....(OK, maybe with the exception of chocolate and pears).

Devon-Aire Expands Hampton Line Devon-Aire
Hard on the heels of the Hampton hunt coat's first-year success, Devon-Aire today unveiled the new fabrics and associated shirt line to be showcased at this week's Stanley Market.
"The equestrian consumer wants the best quality at the best price, which is always a challenge!" chuckled Andres Lendoiro, vice president at Devon-Aire, and a member of the founding family, " But," he continued, "this is a challenge we've built 30+ years of success on." Lendoiro was obviously proud of his company's latest offering, saying, "Right off you can feel the luxurious material of these coats when you hold one in your hand, very soft and supple. Also, the cut and drape of the cloth is second to none, very flattering to a rider's silhouette. Combined with one of our new Hampton stretch shirts you can get a custom look for a price that would make any tailor jealous."
"But what you don't see is just as important, maybe more so, than what you do see," observed fellow vice-president and family member Darin deAlvarez, "Little details, like fabric that stretches and won't bunch when the rider approaches a fence, wider arm holes for greater range of motion, and material that breathes." The Hampton stretch hunt coat is now available in six fabrics: brown herringbone, charcoal herringbone, olive herringbone, dark grey plaid, light grey plaid, and olive plaid, with an MSRP of $149.95. They coordinate beautifully with the new Hampton stretch shirts, available in not only traditional solids (blue, coral, lavender, pink and white) but also the trendier plaids and stripes (pink stripe, lavender stripe, blue plaid, pink plaid and lavender plaid). Hampton stretch shirts have an MSRP from $33.95 (kid's sleeveless) to $39.95 (ladies' long sleeve).

House building near Richard III camp in Barwell approved
Campaigners have been protesting against plans to build 2,500 homes in Leicestershire, near the site of Richard III's battle camp.
The villagers from Barwell said the plans could "destroy" their community.
They protested outside Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council offices while councillors approved the project.
The planning committee said the development would not impact on the nearby Registered Battlefield at Bosworth, where Richard III fought.
Councillors, who were at a meeting called specifically to discuss the project, granted outline planning permission for the homes.
The development, to be built on green fields between the villages of Barwell and Stapleton, would double Barwell's population.
At the scene
I've been speaking to many of those who are against the proposals and the general concern seems to be over the scale of the development and the pressure it could place on infrastructure.
They are also concerned that it may take away from the natural beauty of Barwell and the surrounding areas.
The council said: "The development will provide new homes and jobs for local people and help regenerate Barwell and the rest of the borough."
'A ghost town'The development, which includes plans for an employment zone, a school, a medical centre, shops, sports pitches and children's play areas, as well as housing, has proved highly controversial within Barwell.
Residents have organised a march against the development and in a parish poll among villagers 96% voted against it - although less than a quarter of the population took part in the ballot.
The council also received more than 700 objections to the housing, with protestors claiming it would lead to increased traffic and destroy the character of the village, making the current centre a "ghost town".
Protestor Huw Williams said: "It's been built on green fields and there are a number of brownfield sites in Barwell that I think should be developed first."
However, councillors said the plans would create opportunities for people in the area.
Gary Halman from How Planning, the consortium that represents the developers, said: "It will make Barwell a much more attractive place to shop and spend leisure time."

Psalm 44 O God, we have heard… eyewitnesses, without gain but all to lose, shouted it Christ's Resurrection! Mute Synagogue supported Footnote: I think is necessary to explain the last line of this poem. Pentecost as described in Acts 2:1 thru 4 is about the apparitions of Christ after His Resurrection: The Descent of the Holy Ghost. More than five hundred, both Jews and Gentiles, witnessed apparitions of Christ after His Resurrection. The fact of Christ's Resurrection was accepted by the persuasive silence of the Synagogue which had done all to prevent fraud, falsehood, or perjury. On the contrary, its behavior of tolerance and non intervention helps to grow the early Christianity. This, and just this, is the idea I wanted to state in the poem. It wasn't my intention to offend or make any disrespectful comment about Judaism. I have many friends who are Jews or Muslims; and we always respect our faiths. Peace and love, my friends. One more thing, it's just a thought: I think that without the Resurrection, the growth of the Christian Church would have been a greater phenomenon than the Resurrection itself. Don't you think?

Alive and hoping I welcome the new morning As a new day's chance For growth and my enhancement Of moral being, through love

mouth to mouth a matter was fired on when I walked street was burning as sand when my home was smoking
Up high upon clouds The king of this world resides Looking down on us Maybe He's dissatisfied Yet, He still embraces us Judges, yet forgives He is a just, loving God Sharing precious gifts We may hurt Him immensely Yet, He never turns His back
From base elements A living soul was molded. From this misty dust The mother of the living Was formed of his flesh and bone.
He looks down on us Giving us security Giving us His love He is the light in darkness He is my hope for each day
Heaven waits for me I must be better for Him Before my entrance He'll then request my presence At the entrance to the Gates
