text: I have a Fender PA 135 head (c. 1978), and it has both "Hum Balance" and "Output Tube Matching" external (screwdriver) adjustments on the rear. I think I've figured out the "hum matching" thing, but I don't know how to adjust the "Output Tube Matching" thing. I have 4 new so-called "matched" 6L6's", and I want to ensure that I'm getting the most out of the amp. I have 8 ohms worth of speakers into each of the 2 speaker jacks, so that's not a probelm. Any help on how to set/optimize/use the "Output Tube Matching" external adjustment??? Thanks, The Ragman

Long-Term Stewardship and
Information Management Unit
Andrea Schiller, Unit Manager
Phone: (785) 296-0489 Fax: (785) 559-4262 or (785) 559-4259
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
1000 SW Jackson, Suite 410
Topeka, KS 66612-1367
The Long-Term Stewardship and Information Management Unit provides oversight of Environmental Use Controls through the Environmental Use Control (EUC) Program, implements the Risk Management Program, maintains the Identified Sites List and other Bureau databases, and supports remedial work through researching site background information. This unit is also responsible for reviewing and processing Certificate of Liability Release (CELR) applications.
Environmental Liability Release Program
The Contaminated Property Redevelopment Act, signed into law on May 9, 2016, authorizes KDHE to issue a Certificate of Liability Release (CELR) to certain prospective purchasers of contaminated properties. CELRs may only be issued for properties acquired after July 1, 2016.
KDHE began accepting applications July 1, 2016. An application form is included as Appendix B in the guidance document linked below.
Please note, the applicant's property must be contaminated to be eligible for this program. KDHE will not issue a CELR if the applicant is unable to demonstrate the existence of contamination on the property.
More information about the Environmental Liability Release Program plan is available at the Managing Environmental Risk for Property Redevelopment Workshops webpage.
Environmental Use Control Program
Environmental Use Controls are more commonly known as institutional controls, which are legal controls intended to restrict or prohibit human activities and property use in such a way as to prevent or reduce exposures to contamination. Some examples of environmental use controls include: preventing disturbance of soil caps, covers, berms, etc.; prohibiting the drilling of water wells for domestic or other purposes; restricting and providing notification during utility excavation of an area; restricting use of a property for residential purposes; and restricting access to the property.
The Environmental Use Control Act became state law on July 1, 2003, with regulations becoming effective on April 7, 2006. The regulations were amended January 30, 2009, to expand the program by redefining "eligible property" in K.A.R. 28-73-1(c) to include properties defined as "hazardous waste facilities" by K.S.A. 65-3430(f). This amendment provides more flexibility in addressing contaminated properties, including expedited remediation, less expense to the property owners, and increased protection of human health and the environment through the use of voluntary land use restrictions.

Risk Management Program
The Risk Management Program Act, K.S.A. 2015 Supp. 65-34,176, was passed as House Bill 2193 during the 2015 Kansas legislative session and became effective July 1, 2015. The purpose of the Act is to provide a voluntary mechanism that will establish appropriate measures for the long-term care and management of low-risk, low-priority sites that are not able to meet requirements for unrestricted site closure or no further action following appropriate assessment and/or remedial activities. Regulations to implement the program have been proposed and are available for public review and comment.
KDHE began accepting applications for the Risk Management Program beginning June 1, 2016. To complete an application and for additional information about the program, please reference the items below.


text: One of the cost-saving tips suggested by Mouseweddings.com is to have an Intimate with the max of 20 guests and then invite a bunch more people to a reception at one of the restaurants or an Illuminations dessert party. This seems like an ideal solution for me, but I thought DFTW didn't allow this - I seem to recall several DIS brides who were told that the number of people at their dessert party had to match the number at their wedding ceremony, or even that their restaurant reception would be cancelled if they tried to book outside of DFTW. I know at least one bride had to switch to a Custom because of this. Has anyone had a definitive answer? TIA!

Some are paying more than £2,000 in solicitors' fees to build cases against schools and local authorities.
Experts predict the number of appeals to eclipse those heard in previous years when as many as 80,000 parents complained against placements.
Faith schools and grammar schools are expected to be among the flash points amid mounting competition to get places.
It came as figures obtained by The Daily Telegraph showed the number of pupils applying for places in the few remaining counties with grammar schools increased.
In Poole, the number of applications climbed from 1,727 to 1,968 in just 12 months. It led to the number of 11-year-olds getting into their first choice secondary school falling from 82 to 72 per cent.
Buckinghamshire, which has one of the highest concentrations of grammar schools in England, saw applications increase to 6,033 and almost half of children failed to get into their preferred school.
Councils including Kent, Medway, Lincolnshire and Sutton, which all operate academic selection, saw a rise in applications.
It follows warning from the Good Schools Guide that thousands of recession-hit parents were considering pulling children out of fee-paying schools to enrol them in grammars, resulting in more competition.
Anita Chopra, a partner at London-based Match Solicitors, said the "phone had not stopped ringing" since parents received notification of school places this week. She said record numbers of mothers and fathers were approaching the firm for advise. The average parent pays between £1,500 and £2,000.
It has been fuelled this year by recent changes to rules governing admissions which had left many families "confused", she added.
"We have seen a consistent increase in parents attempting to challenge decisions over the last few years," she said. "Many parents just feel this is so important that they want to do everything they can, including taking legal advice. The fact that the admissions code has been changed yet again just creates another hurdle for parents."
Some 560,000 children found out this week which state secondary school they have got into for September. As many as one in six are likely to have missed their preferred school.
Yesterday, parents spoke of their anger after nearly a dozen children in one primary school year group were turned away from all three secondaries on their application forms.
Children at Knebworth Primary School in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, were rejected from the popular Barnwell School three miles away. Instead, they have been told to attend the Thomas Alleyne School in Stevenage a mile further away.
Samantha Jellett, 34, whose daughter Lydia, 10, was rejected from her favoured school, said: ''They have removed every element of choice we had and placed our children at a school we know little about and have never seen.
''Parents should not be put in this situation. The government should make sure that every school has the resources to offer children the education they need.
"We are one of the largest villages in the county and yet we have been gradually been sidelined and not given the school support we need."

Review: Good quality at a great price
We ordered the replacement Braun toothbrush heads which were delivered within a couple of days. They look and feel almost identical to the genuine article and only time will tell if they last as long, but at the price you could afford to replace them more often.

2 charged after Orange County gun incidents
Two Orange County men were charged with gun possession and various other charges in separate early-morning incidents over the last few days in the city of Newburgh, police said Monday night.
In the first, at 4:25 a.m. Sunday, police went to 136 Lake St. to investigate a report of a fight, Newburgh city police Det. Lt. Dan Cameron said in a statement.
A bystander at the scene told Officer Roman Scuadroni there was a man in a nearby minivan with a gun. Scuadroni and Officer Joseph Palermo approached the minivan and found Gavonne Bentley, 19, of the city of Newburgh, crouched on the passenger side and holding a handgun, police said. Scuadroni and Palermo drew their guns and ordered Bentley out of the minivan.
While arresting him, they found he had 11 envelopes of heroin with him, police said. The gun was a loaded .25 caliber semiautomatic handgun, police said.
Bentley was charged with felony weapons possession and misdemeanor drug possession.
At 3:42 a.m. Monday, Palermo and Officer Humberto Perez were sent to the area of Mill and Hasbrouck streets on a report that two men appeared to be committing an armed robbery. The officers heard noises coming from the back of a vacant building at 174 W. Parmenter St. and walked to the backyard, where they found Samuel Lewis, 19, of New Windsor, and an unidentified man trying to hide behind a porch door, police said.
The officers saw Lewis try to hide a gun by rolling it up in a piece of carpet on the back porch, police said. They recovered a loaded .38 caliber revolver that had been reported stolen in the city of Newburgh in 1990. Lewis was arrested on felony charges of weapons possession and possession of stolen property, police said.
The reported robbery is still under investigation and additional charges are possible, according to police.
Bentley was arraigned Monday before Newburgh City Court Judge B. Harold Ramsey and was sent to the county jail in lieu of $2,000 cash bail or $5,000 bond. His next court date is Friday.
Lewis was arraigned Monday in city court before Judge Peter Kulkin and was sent to the county jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or $25,000 bond. He is to appear again in court on Wednesday.
Both men are being represented by the Orange County Legal Aid Society. No further information about representation was available as of Tuesday afternoon.

Unanswered: Global Variable: Holding a Variable after App Exit
Is there any way to hold a global variable after program exit?
public myVar as integer
myVar = 1
Access is then exited and restarted. How do I hold myVar = 1 and not have it destroyed and set to Null upon restart?
I thought of creating a table and holding the variable in the table. Wanted to know if anyone has developed a better system for doing this.

Option 3: Communicate with a second running process and store it there (this will require creating a second application and being able to communicate with it).
Option 4: Write it to the registry.
Frankly, the table option sounds best.

I agree with Chris. Generally, larger DB's usually require some setup variables as well to be established and maintained. A secure table is one of the easiest ways to do this..Environment:

Saudi public debt to surge after huge deficit
Saudi public debt is expected to surge to new highs after the OPEC kingpin announced a huge budget deficit for 2002, but economists believe the government will have no problem financing it on the local market. Saudi Arabia on Sunday, December 9 announced a $12 billion budget deficit for 2002 and estimated that the shortfall for the current year will be $6.7 billion after having projected a balanced budget.
Finance Minister Ibrahim Al-Assaf estimated that public debt, all owed domestically, will hit $168 billion at the end of 2001, four billion dollars higher than the preliminary Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The debt is set to surge to $180 billion at the end of next year when the government borrows from the local market to cover the new deficit.
Assaf ruled out any foreign borrowing to meet the shortfall, saying the position of local banks and financial institutions was excellent. "The government should not face difficulty obtaining financing for the 2002 projected deficit," said Brad Bourland, chief economist of the Saudi American Bank (SAMBA) in a report on the new Saudi budget.The kingdom can cover the deficit through bond issues or draw-down of foreign assets, estimated at more than $15 billion.
"Should it all be financed with debt, then debt would rise to 107 percent of 2001 preliminary GDP," Bourland said. The government allocates some eight billion dollars as part of the expenditures annually to pay back the debt and the incurred interest. The senior economist at Riyad Bank, Abdulwahhab Abu-Dahesh, believes time is suitable to borrow from the local market because of low interest rates and to finance development programs.
"Liquidity in Saudi Arabia is very high and assets of the banks are the most sound in the Middle East," he said. Oil income makes up more than 80 percent of total revenues. The price of Saudi oil has crashed from around $25 a barrel by end of August to around $16 today following the September 11 anti-US terror attacks.
Saudi Arabia, the world's leading oil producer and exporter, has posted budget deficits ever since 1983 except in 2000 which saw a surplus of $6.1 billion. Total deficits for the period of 1983-1999 amounted to $200 billion, according to official statistics, part of it was financed through foreign borrowing, which the kingdom has stopped since 1994. But as public debt has grown faster than GDP, economists believe it is time for serious reform.
"The measures taken throughout the 90s do not suggest there has been a serious effort to restructure the economy to reduce its dependence on oil," said Saeed Al-Shaikh, chief economist of the National Commercial Bank (NCB). "There must be a diversification in sources of income, broadening of the private sector, opening up for foreign investments and accelerating privatization," Shaikh said.
"To halt the growth of public debt, it's time to launch a program to boost non-oil revenues. This is very important since paying back the debt may take some four decades," Ihsan Abu Haliga, a member of the Saudi consultative council, said in an article. — (AFP, Riyadh)

Omaha's Lauritzen Gardens illuminating Spring with glass art exhibit
Spring is in the air at Omaha's Lauritzen Gardens. The botanical garden is hosting a special glass art exhibit through May 8th. "Floral Fusion" showcases the glass art of Craig Mitchell Smith. The exhibit features about 30 pieces of blown-glass art located throughout the visitors center's main display hall and the Marjorie K. Daughtery Conservatory.
The exhibit is available for viewing both day and night. Night illuminations are offered 5-9 p.m. Sunday-Tuesday until April 19th.
The art pieces highlight current floral or plant displays. In the main hall, for instance, a 30-foot tall dandelion – "Making a Wish" – is scattering its seeds in the air.
One of my favorites is "Hollyhocks," which is located in a bed of pretty flowers. The deep blue petals are beautiful regardless of the time, but they pop at night.
"Mr. Lincoln-Lilac" offers a radiant view of the sculpture among a bed of lilacs. The actual flowers and the art piece complements each other.
If you love sun flowers, you'll like "Road to Provence." A line of sun flowers reflect from the center's glass from outside. This is the only art display outside the building. The yellow faces stood out against the snow that existed during our visit.
The majority of the glass art displays are in the conservatory. They are well-placed among the permanent exhibits. As soon as you enter, you see dancers in the waterfall near the entrance.
Lisa and I both loved the use of cardinals. A "Flock of cardinals" is dispersed among the trees, the ceiling and other spots, giving the impression the birds are flying, hanging out on branches and, otherwise, enjoying their digs.
A beautiful display of flowers is located near a fountain. A rainbow of colors pops on a few of the petals.
"The Pansies" are attractive to check out in a garden area. However, I thought the night illumination sharply brought out their yellow color.
We felt like we were at a vineyard with the "Grape Arbor" display. The use of multiple colors as grapes worked well with the green leaves. The art was draped over wood and a lantern, giving it an authentic vineyard feel.
Some of the floral designs were situated in pools. "Blue Reeds" really stood out among the nearby tropical trees and plants. This display was nice to view during the day, as well as the evening.
"Tropical Splendor" combined blue pieces with a palm tree. The pieces resembled nettings or jelly fish and they accentuated the tree well.
"Poppies of Oz" were sprinkled throughout the conservatory's tropical garden. The staff did an excellent job in positioning the pieces.
The last couple of pieces we really liked had true Midwestern flavors. The first was "The Goldenrod." This is actually Nebraska's official state flower. It stood tall among the conservatory, overlooking the rest of the attraction.
In the conservatory's back stairwell, "Autumn Curtain" lived up to its name. Dozens of glass leaves dangle from the ceiling, creating a curtain to view. The display was beautiful regardless of the angle you viewed.
The artist did an outstanding job in creating an impressive exhibit for visitors to enjoy. Smith, from Lansing, MI, spent time as a florist and set designer before embarking on his career as an artist tinkering in blown glass. He had his work displayed in galleries. He opened his own gallery in 2010. The Omaha exhibit is a mix between his portfolio and new designs, specifically created for the Lauritzen exhibit.
The art is amazing! The flowers and plant displays are, as always, outstanding. We encourage everyone to check out "Floral Fusion."

Reviews of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address are fixating on his funding proposals, but one pundit's idea of "investing" is another's "deficit spending."
Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne praises Obama for his "investment" approach, calling the speech "a bold defense of government's role in spurring innovation, supporting research and promoting education. Obama wants the debate to be between practical, efficient, forward-looking government and diminutive, unambitious government. For progressives, that sure beats the big versus small government argument.
"In American politics, optimism always triumphs over pessimism, as both Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan understood."
Joe Conason of Creators Syndicate is impressed Obama recognizes "the problems that we confront … extend well beyond deficits and debt. While those fiscal issues certainly pose a real threat to our future prosperity, so do the deficits in our educational system, our physical infrastructure, our scientific research and our broadband capacity. If we focus solely on the fiscal deficit — and insist on reducing it by mindless, ruinous budgetary policies — then America will be set firmly on the path of national decline."
Doyle McManus singles out what he considers a "bracingly direct critique of Republicans' plans for deep cuts in federal spending": the president's comment that "cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine."
In the Los Angeles Times columnist's view, Obama is trying to send a message that "he has a positive strategy for long-term competitiveness and economic growth, and he's an optimist who believes America can rise to the occasion. 'This is our Sputnik moment,' he said. And the Republicans? In the president's telling, they're a bunch of dour budget-cutters in green eyeshades."
The Weekly Standard's Stephen F. Hayes ridicules the airplane analogy.
"Does President Obama really mean to suggest that the engine of the U.S. economy is government spending?" Hayes writes. "It's consistent with the way he governed over the first two years of his presidency, but it's a jarring departure from his sudden centrism."
Rich Lowry surmises that Obama is hoping "to be saved by a euphemism."
"He is wagering on the power of the word 'investment,' " the National Review columnist writes. "It sounds so market-oriented and cutting-edge in contrast to its more pedestrian, politically fraught synonym, 'spending,' especially the toxic 'deficit spending' that, to this point, has defined Obama's presidency."
Pointing out previous instances when Obama has employed the language of "investment," Lowry argues that the president "isn't changing his economic philosophy. He's not even dressing it up with a new word. It's the same old spending, although presumably not quite as reckless as the first bout."
Debra Saunders recognizes the appeal of research and development.
"Except that in this economy," the San Francisco Chronicle columnist counters, "technology and environmental research means funneling government money into high-profile projects staffed by like-minded college graduates, a group with an unemployment rate of about 5 percent. Then, if the project actually produces something commercially viable, the new gadgets can be manufactured by low-skilled workers in a sustenance-wage corner of the world. …
"This is not an anti-government rant. Washington has, and should have, the lead role in national defense, interstate transportation, public safety, a safety net for the truly needy and more.
"But as Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., put it in the GOP response, 'Limited government also means effective government. When government takes on too many tasks, it usually doesn't do any of them very well.' "

*It's good to learn this trick so you can get speed and flow at skateparks.
1. Learn how to drop in and do axle stalls then this trick is easy.
2. Roll toward the bowl or ramp at a slight angle.
3. You want to lift up your front wheels to pop over the coping.
4. While rolling over the coping, begin leaning forward like you're dropping in.
5. Keep your knees bent, and slam those front wheels down.
6. Stay low and centered while you pump down the transition.
7. With practice, this technique will give you way more speed than a regular drop-in.
8. Now try it frontside! (Ping-Pong is great!)

Hacking a mobile Phone is pretty common these days and many hackers make a living out of it by penalizing their victims indirectly. In today's post we are going to quickly know learn how to know when your mobile phone has been hacked and how to keep it secured from hackers. I am not going to write long because I don't want to waste that time of yours, I will just say few things about it to make you understand.
Hacking of a Mobile Phone
Hacking is a term in programming (computer science), it can be defined or described simply as the various strategies or process of getting information from a source and even controlling the source indirectly and what I mean by indirectly is not passing through the "front door", its normal hackers passes through the back door to steal information from you.
How do I know my Mobile phone have been Hacked
A hacked mobile phone should show symptoms of the following and if not all majority it is just like 'Ebola" and before they could declare someone as Ebola positive, he/she would have shown symptoms of illness, that's okay, so bro, how will I know my mobile phone have been hacked by unknown identity. Here are the symptoms your mobile phone will show when it has been hacked;
Higher Bills :- This is very common these days where you will recharge your network line and within 30 minutes without use you will notice the credit balance have disappeared without explanation from the network provider, sometimes you will just be seeing sent message notification on your mobile phone screen and will be wondering how come my credit is disappearing and I am sending messages when I am not doing one of the two. Hackers can take another turn by using your mobile phone to view a website or any blog daily automatically without you knowing and it will be consuming your internet subscription, You would ask how can it happen? I am going to explain to you how they do it, first they will have to get a hold of your mobile phone after that they are going to download one or two apps meant for that purpose, they will configure everything and set the frequency of how it will be checking out those websites .
How to Solve :- Try to check the data usage of your mobile phone and check which apps are consuming the data and do't forget to check which are consuming internet data and you are not using, the apps you are not using and is consuming needed to be deleted or make proper check on it.
Phone Malfunction :- When you start noticing unusual activities on your mobile phone such as automatic switch off and switch on, fast battery consumption, Taking long time for app to open and many others you should know these are the symptoms of hacking and some do say they are the symptoms of Viruses and Malwares on the device but they do not know that hackers are dangerous, they can infect the phone with an application that is capable of causing malfunctions.
How To Solve : There are numerous ways to check phone malfunctions connecting to hacking and one of the way is to check if the mobile phone is sending automated message. Another way is to check the efficiency of the battery if you start noticing the quick usage of battery before getting low of power.
How Do I Keep My Mobile Phone Secured from Being Hacked by Hackers
Lock Your Phone With Password :- The most important measure you should take in keeping your mobile phone secured is to enable mobile phone lock with security passwords, I notice people do use pattern to lock their phone which is not very good because I will never advice anybody to use pattern to lock his/her phone, locking your phone with pattern may easily be unlocked if someone peeped through your fingers when you are drawing the pattern without you even knowing.
- Use passwords mixed with letters and numbers that can never be guessed by anyone
- Change your password every week and write them down in a secured place because loosing your data to an unknown personality can cause you more harm than good.
Validate the Use of third- party Apps :- There are some apps you should not download from untrusted source, most especially android smartphone users do fall victim for this kind of hacking method. Hackers can create an android app and add a little bug in it that will be stealing data from your mobile and transport it to them on the other end, you might not know of this but you should check if there are such apps on your mobile phone.
To Stop these apps you have to download a good antivirus apps such as AVG and others, they can scan the phone and fish out those killer apps that have been sucking out your mobile phone data.
Be Careful of the type of links you click :- Hackers deploy many strategies to get information from you and they can do that through your mobile phone or computer by sending you an attractive link either through E-mail or your social media account, this type of method is called "Phishing", Phishing is the process of gaining information such as username, passwords and credit card details indirectly from you by cloning themselves as a trustworthy organizations. Many People have fall for this and millions are still falling for it, most especially they use e-mail to gain information from you by masking their name as a well-known company and embedding links in the message for you to click, many hackers will be annoyed with me but I am after your safety and I am going to show you how they make people to fall using emails.
How :- Let us take GTBank for example because most hackers do use this method.
They Will send you a near original text message to your mailbox using GTBank Name as the sender, they will embed a link in the message for you to click in order for you to update your account details. If you click it you will fall for it.
How To Know it's From a Fake Source :- There is a way to know if the message is from a fake source or original source and the only way to know is to check the sender's details, check the From Email of the sender, surely it will be from GTBank , example firstname.lastname@example.com and this is how people do fall them, the most important thing you should check is the "Reply to" details at this point the "reply to" will be different from the sender' email address. If it is Fake it will be different, if it is Original it will be the same. I think you understand that method and how to never become their victim on that aspect.
I will be dropping my pen here now, I have explained enough and like I said earlier I don't want to waste your precious time. Another thing,know who you give your phone to handle or operate, if you do not trust the person don't give him/her your phone because it might be dangerous, if the person persist then you have to lock all your apps by using some apps for android such as CM App Lock and many of them, he/she won't be able to do a thing when all your apps are locked.

What is a visual field test?
A visual field test is a method of measuring an individual's entire scope of vision, that is their central and peripheral (side) vision. Visual field testing maps the visual fields of each eye individually and can detect blind spots (scotomas) as well as more subtle areas of dim vision. The visual field test is a subjective examination, so the patient must be able to understand the testing instructions, fully cooperate, and complete the entire test in order to provide useful information.
What is a visual field test used for?
Visual field testing is most frequently used to detect signs of glaucoma damage to the optic nerve. In addition, visual field tests are useful for detection of central or peripheral retinal diseases of the retina, eyelid conditions such as drooping (ptosis), optic nerve damage and disease, and conditions affecting the visual pathways from the optic nerve to the area of the brain (occipital cortex) where this information is processed into vision.
The following are uses of visual field testing:
- Screening for glaucoma: Peripheral vision loss is often an early and subtle sign of glaucoma. Visual field tests are helpful in making the diagnosis of glaucoma, and repeat testing is used to monitor treatment.
- Screening and testing for lid droop (ptosis)
- Testing for toxicity from certain medications (for example, screening for toxicity from hydroxychloroquine [Plaquenil], which can affect the central retina)
- Measuring the extent of retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa
- Detecting conditions affecting the optic nerve, such as tumors, injury, poor circulation or stroke, optic neuropathy, swelling of the optic nerve (optic neuritis), compression from swelling in the eye socket or orbit, and severe nutrient deficiencies
- Detecting conditions that affect the visual pathways from the optic nerves to the occipital lobe of the brain, including tumors, inflammatory disease, increased intracranial pressure, injury, poor circulation, or stroke
- Testing for malingering behavior or factitious disorders

The latest survey by J.D. Power and Associates has revealed that Hyundai had the highest rate of customer retention last year among its competitors in the United States. The automaker beats industry leaders Honda and Ford, the research company revealed in its ninth-annual Customer Retention Study. Specifically, 64 percent of the new automobiles that Hyundai leased or sold last year were bought by existing owners.
In 2010, Hyundai retained 60 percent of buyers. Now, the automaker leaped two spots in the rankings. Also in 2010, Ford and Honda tied for the No. 1 spot with a customer retention rate of 62 percent. In 2011, they tied again, but in the second position with 60 percent retention rating, J.D. Power's study revealed.
Other automakers that made it to the top 10 spots were Kia, BMW, Chevrolet, Toyota, Lexus, Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz. Jeep, Mini, Ram and Nissan also finished above the 49 percent average retention rate of the industry last year.
J.D. Power stated that the high retention rate of Hyundai was generally due to the popular Sonata and Elantra models. Raffi Festekjian, director of automotive product research at J.D. Power and Associates, commented that the automaker's increased retention rate is "shaped by its expanding model lineup" and by the fact that perceptions of the brand's appeal and quality have "continued to improve" during the past ten years.

We are open for volunteers from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon on Saturdays. We hope you will consider joining us. There is no need to sign up if you are an individual or a single family. However, if you plan on bringing a group please let us know in advance so that we may better prepare a meaningful experience for you.
We Have the Tools and Gloves!
The BELL has plenty of tools and gloves to share with our volunteers but we do not have drinking water on site so please make sure to bring your own. At this time of year the Garden can be extremely muddy so make sure to wear weather appropriate clothes and shoes – it is surprising how many people show up to work in the garden wearing flip-flops!
Get ready to meet some new friends, catch up with old friends, have fun and learn something about gardening and chickening!
"It was a great day spent with my kids, feels good to reach out and help where help is needed, a good lesson for my kids. Everyone at BELL Garden was very nice and appreciated us being there. Can't wait to volunteer again soon."
"The coordinator, Nancy, was great. She made sure we had the right tools and understood the scope of our task and its part in the larger picture of what the garden was about. The project she had our small group do (weeding around 4 newly planted blueberry bushes) was perfect to earn us a sense of completion."

No one ever have time the market correctly. If someone believes that he/she can time the correct, I would say it is nothing but foolish statement. Go with SIP, keep adding drop by drop regularly and see the magic over the period of time.
Start as Early as you can:
Compounding is 8th wonder of world. Investment is not how much you invest; it's how long you invest. Read Power of Compounding: Investment Magic.
Never underestimate monster Call Inflation:
Inflation is enemy of your money. It eats all your purchasing power. So always keep it in mind and calculate actual return after considering inflation and also taxes.
Risk Diversification:
Each and every investment has its own risk. Keeping all your money in one asset class can lead you to door of big risk. Proper diversification can minimize you overall risk.
Portfolio re-balancing:
Investment is not one time activity. You have to keep monitoring and keep it changing according to goals. You cannot keep under-performing assets for life time expecting turnaround. Give your assets enough time but if still it not match your set goals then you must get rid of it and allocate money to better assets.
You are your Investment manager:
No one in the world understands your need then yourself. People can help you but you only should take your investment decision. Invest only assets in which you understand. I never able to understand how intra-day can be successful business so never did it.
Keep it Simple:
Investment is not rocket science. Keep your investment simple. Investing in too many product and later feel the complexity to manage all could be nightmare to many. Too much diversification is not healthy. Mutual Fund investment can help you to avoid risk and also complexity.
Be Smart. Invest Smartly.

Negative order year for Business Jets possible
"We could easily end the year with the industry as a whole having more order cancellations than new ones" according to Brian Foley Associates President Brian Foley.
While cancellations have subsided, additional fallout can still be expected as more aircraft progress payments can't be met. "Whereas some buyers had the financial wherewithal to pay for their jets back when they ordered them, they're now scrambling to find financing to make their next progress payment as their airplane nears final delivery. They'll find credit markets stubbornly tight and more restrictive with a bias towards only the of best credit risks and aircraft. The easy credit culture is gone, and with 50% of all business jet purchases involving some form of funding that really impacts the industry."
"In our view, some but not all manufacturers may be playing "backlog roulette" by being overlyaccommodating and giving weak customers the option to defer their order in lieu of cancelling. These buyers gladly accept deferrals rather than hefty cancellations fees. Some of these buyers were irreparably damaged in the downturn and will likely never take delivery. This creates a weak, artificially high apparent backlog which does a disservice to both investors and suppliers."
From the industry's backlog peak in third quarter 2008 a full 26% is at risk of cancellation with some manufacturer's backlogs significantly more vulnerable than others. "In early September, 2008 we took a lot of criticism for publicly warning that manufacturers' backlogs weren't as sticky as they'd like to think. Unfortunately for the industry we were spot on."

Book Information
Genesis, with an Introduction to Narrative Literature is Volume I of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the structure, genre, setting, and intention of the biblical literature in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature, and expose the exegetical process so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament texts. In the introduction to this volume, George Coats discusses narrative in general and the principal Old Testament narratives in particular. He then sets the book of Genesis in its larger Old Testament context, analyzing its major sections and subsections. Each of the succeeding chapters treats one of the major sections. A bibliography heads each chapter, and a shorter bibliography of relevant works appears at the end of each unit. The book concludes with genre and formula files, which list all the relevant genres and formulas and the texts in which they occur.

The directive decision making style presents its own array of strengths and weaknesses. It can be extremely beneficial to an individual to know how their manner of making key decisions would be defined. In order for a person to accomplish this, they must do two things. They need to have a clear understanding of what the directive decision making style entails. They will then need to take that understanding and compare it to some of the other decision making styles.
By comparing and contrasting the directive decision making style with other decision making styles, a person will eventually come to one of two conclusions. They will either decide that their decision-making process does indeed reflect the accepted definition of the directive decision making style, or they will find that their style is better matched to another defined style type.
Comparing and Contrasting The Directive Decision Making Style
If someone has a mindset that loathes vagueness, demanding clear-cut answers and concrete solutions, they are well on their way to being someone who would identify with the directive decision making style. This is a person who believes in efficiency, rationality, and applying cool, level-headed logic to every decision they are required to make. Their mind will consistently be geared towards making quick decisions with strong short-term implications. It is rare for someone who consistently utilizes the directive decision making style to look at alternative possibilities to the decision they have made.
That is pretty much what it means to be someone who uses that particular style. It is different in a number of ways from the three other significant decision-making styles:
Analytic decision making style: This decision making style provides a stark contrast to the directive approach. These are individuals who are capable of working with ambiguity, consider all potential options, and prefer to have a detailed comprehension of the situation at hand.
Conceptual decision making style: This is decision making process that looks towards the long-term implications of their decision. They are going to also take into account as many potential outcomes as possible before rendering a decision.
Behavioral decision making style: Someone who identifies with this style is going to be someone who is capable of working well with peers, believes in the good that can come out of suggestions from others, and takes into account the achievements of the overall team.
Again, all of these decision making styles come with their own strengths and weaknesses. Combinations are also a possibility.

i STILL have not eaten at komi (this befuddles me too), but when i finally called to make a reservation, they told me they only do $67 tasting menus on the weekend. While i am willing to shell out money for a really great meal, with wine, that meal would be at least $100, and that's a price i'd like to reserve for special occasions. On the other hand, if i'm going to spend $75 with wine going there on a weekday, i think it'd be more worth it to just eating brown rice for the next 2 weeks ;) i can't find prices on komi's a la carte menu, so i have no idea how much i'd pay on a weeknight.
has anyone eaten from both their regular and tasting menus that has an opinion on whether i can get a great meal on a weekday or if i should just shell out for a weekend tasting menu?

We get a glimpse of the geniuses behind the BMW's Secret 7 project. The concept was arrived at by engineers Lange, Fischer and Weisbarth, considered to be three of the most prominent personalities at BMW during the mid-70's and up through the early 90's. Lange came up with the M70 V12 engine used in the 8-Series and the 7-Series.
Lange then approached Fischer to further explore the possibilities and this is how the Secret Seven project began. This is the story of how BMW's first V16 engine came to be. After six months of work, Fischer had created the production ready 6.7 liter V16 engine in 1987.
The engine produced 408 bhp at 5,200 rpm and 624 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm.This was an impressive feat since it meant the new engine had 100 bhp more than the 5 liter V12. The 6.7 liter V16 was fitted on a golden 7 Series; this led to the project being known as the "Goldfish."
Adding 4 cylinders gave rise to space issues in the engine bay. The V16 engine was 12 inches longer then the V12 so the engineers tried to move the cooling system in the E32 into the rear of the car. However, this method would never work on a production ready vehicle from BMW.
Since the cooling equipment was in the trunk, they had to hand made custom fiberglass grills and air scoops that sat on the rear quarter panels of the car to channel cool air into the trunk.
Air was expelled through a custom made valance panel that sat in between the taillights of the car, which lead to the use of smaller tail lights eliminating the rear high intensity fog and reverse lights.
By all appearances, the V16 engine was ready for production, but because it didn't get the approval of the board, BMW "Super 7" never made it to the dealership. With the way that everything gets smaller and greener nowadays, it makes it more unlikely that we'd get to see another V16 engine on a BMW.

Characterization Definition
Characterization is a literary device that is used step by step in literature to highlight and explain the details about a character in a story.
It is in the initial stage where the writer introduces the character with noticeable emergence and then following the introduction of the character, the writer often talks about his behavior; then as the story progresses, the thought-process of the character. The next stage involves the character expressing his opinions and ideas and getting into conversations with the rest of the characters. The final part shows how others in the story respond to the character's personality.
Characterization as a literary tool was coined in the mid 15th century. Aristotle in his Poetics argued that "tragedy is a representation, not of men, but of action and life". Thus the assertion of the dominance of plot over characters, termed as plot-driven narrative, is unmistakable. This point of view was later on abandoned by many because, in the 19th century, the dominance of character over plot became clear through petty bourgeois novels.
Types of Characterization
An author can use two approaches to deliver information about a character and build an image of it:
1. Direct or explicit characterization
This kind of characterization takes a direct approach towards building the character. It uses another character, narrator or the protagonist himself to tell the readers or audience about the subject.
2. Indirect or implicit characterization
This is a more subtle way of introducing the character to the audience. The audience has to deduce for themselves the characteristics of the character by observing his/her thought process, behavior, speech, way of talking, appearance, and way of communication with other characters and also by discerning the response of other characters.
Characterization in Drama
On stage or in front of the camera, the actors usually do not have much time to characterize. This is why the character faces the risk of coming across as underdeveloped. In dramaturgy, the realists take a different approach by relying on implied characterization. This is pivotal to the theme of their character-driven narrative. Examples of these playwrights are Anton Chekhov, Henrik Ibsen, and August Strindberg.
Classic psychological characterization examples such as "The Seagull" usually build the main character in a more indirect manner. This approach is considered more effective because it slowly discloses the inner turmoil of the character during the three hours of the show and lets the audience connect better.
The actors who act in such roles usually work on them profoundly to get an in-depth idea of the personality of their respective character. Often, during such shows, plays or dramas, no direct statements about the character's nature are found. This kind of realism needs the actors to build the character from their own perspective initially. This is why realistic characterization is more of a subtle nature, which cannot directly be recognized.
Characterization Examples
"The Great Gatsby"
There are many examples of characterization in literature. "The Great Gatsby" is probably the best. In this particular book, the main idea revolves around the social status of the characters. The major character of the book, Mr. Gatsby, is perceptibly rich but he does not belong to the upper stratum of society. This means that he cannot have Daisy. Tom is essentially defined by his wealth and the abusive nature that he portrays every now and then, while Daisy is explained by Gatsby as having a voice full of money.
Another technique to highlight the qualities of a character is to put them in certain areas that are symbolic of a social status. In the novel, Gatsby resides in the West Egg, which is considered less trendy than East Egg, where Daisy lives. This difference points out the gap between Jay's and Daisy's social statuses. Moreover, you might also notice that Tom, Jordan and Daisy live in East Egg while Gatsby and Nick reside in West Egg, which again highlights the difference in their financial background. This division is reinforced at the end of the novel when Nick supports Gatsby against the rest of the folks.
Occupations have also been used very tactfully in the novel to highlight characteristics of certain protagonists. The prime example is Gatsby who, despite being so rich, is known by his profession: bootlegging. He had an illegal job that earned him a fortune but failed to get him into the upper class of New York. In contrast, Nick has a clean and fair job of a "bond man" that defines his character. The poor guy Wilson who fixes the rich people's cars befriends his wife; and then there is Jordon, who is presented as a dishonest golf pro.
Characterization is an essential component in writing good literature. Modern fiction, in particular, has taken great advantage of this literary device. Understanding the role of characterization in storytelling is very important for any writer. To put it briefly, it helps us make sense of the behavior of any character in a story by helping us understand their thought processes. A good use of characterization always leads the readers or audience to relate better to the events taking place in the story. Dialogues play a very important role in developing a character because they give us an opportunity to examine the motivations and actions of the characters more deeply.
