Category: Mystery/Crime/Suspense/Thriller Description: I hadn't reread this book in years. When I began to prepare it for FictionWise, I discovered that it may be the best book I ever wrote. How do you simultaneously chase a serial killer and fight a massive hurricane? Mark Shigata and Al Quinn have to do it. eBook Publisher: Live Oak House, eBookwise Release Date: November 2005
12 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor Available eBook Formats: OEBFF Format (IMP) [258 KB] Words: 56374Reading time: 161-225 min.
"Anyone who has ever been caught in the path of a hurricane should respond to Anne Wingate's eerie description of Hurricane Anna as 'a malevolent spider of winds and rain drawing strength from the waters beneath her ... .far-flung legs.' Ms. Wingate, a former police officer, paces the events of her suspenseful story to that heavy, ominous energy that collects around the ever-uncertain path of a major hurricane."--New York Times Book Review
"Galveston, Texas, in the eye of a killer hurricane ... Chief of Police Mark Shigata and his right-hand deputy, Al Quinn ... struggle[e] with roads turned into torrents, houses smashed to rubble, flying trees and nonexistent services; they fight together to gather evidence as the body count grows." Kirkus, starred review
"Wingate's suspenseful tale, which adds a strong romantic strain to a police procedural, provides in able follow-up to her detectives's debut. One hopes to see more of Shigata and the warm and human Quinn."--Publishers Weekly
Red and green make brown.
But the liquid in the margarita glass wasn't brown, because blood is heavier than a frothy mixture of tequila and lime juice. The blood had run down to the bottom of the glass, and the alcohol floating on top had sealed off the air so that the blood hadn't darkened. Now it looked like some exotic red-and-green layered cocktail. The tulip-shaped glass on the carpeted floor was almost the only small thing still upright in the entire room. Was that an accident--
Gwen put her hand over her mouth and ran for the bathroom. She vomited and screamed, and choked as the vomit and the scream bubbled out together. Then she bolted for the telephone.
Of course the line was dead.
She went down the stairs, stumbling in the darkness because the overhead lights were out. She heard glass crunching underfoot and knew why the lights were out, and she wondered why she hadn't noticed that coming in. But of course she had noticed. She just hadn't had any reason to care.
What if he's still out there?
She couldn't stay in the house, and she couldn't leave. Her car was a barely visible hulk in the distance twenty yards away. She had no idea where her car keys were--probably in her purse, which she had dropped somewhere in the house and wasn't about to go looking for.
The car was unlocked, because she'd planned to come right back out and bring in her suitcases. If she couldn't get away, at least maybe it would be harder for him to get at her, if she were in the car and the doors were locked--Then she remembered the extra key hidden in a magnetic holder inside the front bumper.
If it was still there, if it hadn't dropped out, if she could get it--
If she could get it, and get back inside the car, and drive--
Start the car very carefully, very calmly, drive slowly, stay calm, stay calm--
If she couldn't get to the key, or if the key was gone, at least she could lean on the horn and maybe someone would hear her. Only of course nobody would hear the horn, just as no one had heard the screaming, because the pounding of the rain and the howling of the wind would drown out any other sound.
But you have to try. You have to try. You can't just sit and let somebody kill you.
Who was the other one? Judy was dead on the couch, her throat slashed. Blood had run down her arm, dripping into the glass on the floor. Josie was dead on the dining-room floor with a butcher knife in her back. But who was the other one? The one with silver-blond hair like Gwen's, the one dead in the bathtub with her face so cut and hacked no one could ever recognize her? What was she doing there? Who was she?

auto damage appraisal?I am a Bodyman but I want to do auto damage appraisal for a major insurance company. how do I get there from here?
Asked By: vlad1238 - 4/4/2008
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
First you have to be able to write estimates using Pathways or Mitchell. It is NOT required to have bachelors degree as the person above me said. you can apply National Appraisers Institute and get your certificate in 2 weeks from Fresno or you need to have a lot of experience in order to work for the insurance company...

A friend of mine owns 3 insurance offices with a major company(hint..two hands)he once told me that he contracts body shops for a preset price for the work they perform,if you decide to go that route and they are your exclusive client,you may be locked into what you can make onjobs they give you. Good luck.
Answered By: toxicavenger - 4/4/2008
Well, good luck on that. You can do two different things: 1. get hired as a company employee (better have a bachelor's degree for that) and then pass the state appraiser exam, or 2. pass the state appraiser exam to get your license, and try to free lance with one of the larger independent adjusting firms...

There were plenty of people buying them at the Manhattan stores the morning it came out. In New York though you generally only see smart phones out when people are making calls or in the subway, and I think the Droid hasn't quite hit the point where the BB addicts (who always are reading their email even though they haven't had reception for 30+ minutes) and iPlodders (the people who need to see their iPod every second they are using it) have switched over to Droids. Especially since the Droid probably hasn't yet become corporate standard-issue and hasn't become the hipster status symbol the iProducts have.

I've seen somewhere around 10 DROID users on the campus of UNLV, and 3 people using them at the Fashion Show Mall here in Las Vegas.
Not Bad for having only been out for a week.
None, just the two I have (mine and my daughter's). People LOVE it when they see it, though.
I stopped at the Invisible Shield kiosk in the mall today and there were 3 droids waiting in line in front of me for IS's.

If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it.
There are only 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.
I haven't seen any out and about but I have had a few questions about mine. Most people seem really impressed by it.

Question on 5105M w/ 1000RPM option
I'm looking for info on the 5105M with the 1000RPM option, specifically the ease of use when switching back to the 540...I use multiple attachments on the road and need to know if it's an easy switch or time consuming before I buy..any info appreciated!
Re: Question on 5105M w/ 1000RPM option
Matt, this John deere specification page implies the standard setup has 2-speed pto, making 540 rpm at either 2100 or 1625 engine rpm. Another way to state it would be 540 or 750 pto rpm at 2100 engine. The optional 540, 540E, 1000 setup isn't clear whether there is a 3-speed gearbox or the third speed is a separate shaft like a mid or front pto ? They don't mention this option in their product page.
L5450, L48, L3250, L345, never enough attachments

Entrepreneurship & Innovation Track
Unique Immersion
For those with a strong commitment to entrepreneurship, the Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Track brings like-minded students together very early in the MBA program to meet, integrate and learn about startup business concepts and to experience the unique entrepreneurial ecosystem at MIT.
Jump-Start in Entrepreneurship
Concepts that typically take the entire program to cover are condensed into the first and second semesters, maximizing students' ability to get started right away. The payoff for the extra work and the intense Track requirements is that you will get a jump-start on building an entrepreneurial career.
Emerging Technologies
The E&I Track focuses on launching and developing emerging technology companies. It leads to a certificate in Entrepreneurship & Innovation, in addition to the MBA degree.
Theory, Team Building, Practice
The curriculum emphasizes team practice linked to real-world entrepreneurial projects, balances theoretical and practitioner education, and provides thorough exposure to the many building blocks of an entrepreneurial career. In addition, the Track leaves sufficient freedom to select other courses.
Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Track Brochure
"It was really rewarding that they wanted to know what we thought. We left there being fairly certain that they will do some of the things that we suggested."
"At MIT Sloan you have a lot of opportunities to explore entrepreneurship. Especially in a place like Kampala where you have a lot of development, entrepreneurship can be very exciting."
"We're very interdisciplinary. Among the faculty in the group are an economist, a political scientist, a sociologist, and an industrial relations specialist. We've always made a big effort to be open to a variety of perspectives, but also to go beyond being open to them, to want to bring them in, because it makes for a richer environment."
"The relationships that we forged helped us to turn out a better project. We were able to test our hypotheses with the people that we spoke with every single day. And really, I think the friendships that you develop really propel the work that you're doing."
"Because of the diversity of our backgrounds, when we hit the ground in Tanzania it almost was a natural play where different people assume different roles."
"You could talk about watershed management and conservation of energy all you want. But until you put numbers to it and financial analysis to it, you're not going to get much done. I came to business school to speak that language, speak with people in terms of numbers, financial numbers so that I can get projects done."
"I knew about American business, but not enough about what's really become a global economy. … You can read about it all you want, but there's no substitute for being there and seeing the context and seeing how completely different these [other countries] are."
"These companies are really excited to work with MIT students.They reach out to the community to set up these projects and are great to work with. They give us access to all their resources and are very open to us."
"Our mission, along with the mission of MIT Sloan, is to both develop leaders who make a difference in the world, and also to make a contribution to thinking about the topic of leadership."
"For 35 years, we've been studying how companies get value from information. … We try to help organizations take a more holistic view of what they are trying to do."
"I love being in a place that is such a nexus of people and ideas — people coming to learn something new and to define themselves. Being a part of that process is a real honor and a real gift."
"The conditions in the neighborhoods we were visiting were different than what we realized before getting there. Beyond that, what was surprising was that there weren't surprises!"
"The assistant to the CEO was like our host mom while we were there. She arranged our housing for us, she took us out to her friend's game farm, and we got driven around in 4x4s. She was just wonderful to meet, and we developed a personal as well as professional relationship with her."
"One of the reasons I came to Sloan was because I wanted to be at a top MBA institution worldwide. But I also wanted access to working with the latest innovations and the highest technology that was coming out of the MIT labs."
"Getting an education from MIT is like taking a drink from a fire hose."

I have to hand it to them it sounds like they have a nice piece of equipment I heard that big Steve referred to it several times as magical while on stage and I am sure another Steve is rolling over at that one but really it seems to have a lot of fruit whether it be in the product or the thought. Either way the product sound nice and seems to be very versatile as well as functional as well.
It is the little things that matter... Super sturdy kickstand, calculated weight distribution inside the surface to make it both comfortable to hold and designed to not fall out of the hand as easy, 22 degree angled cameras, actual multitasking, and free office....
I really hope MS see's success with the Surface especially the Pro once released...
It's nice to see Microsoft step up to the plate. While I'm already deep into the Android ecosystem, with game and app purchases, I'm definitely going to keep my eye on the Surface Pro...possibly as a laptop replacement later on.
AMD Phenom II 955 BE @ 3.2Ghz - Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P - 4GB Corsair DDR2-1066

I like the laptop that I have now, and I can get replacement Laptops for less than this costs.
I'll sit this one out, thank you.
Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live.
(Mark Twain)
Realneil but your laptop and replacement laptop aren't as portable as the surface and won't have a touch screen at a lower price point. It's all about what your needs are and some people either need a physical keyboard or don't need a touch screen. You also didn't mention if you own a tablet as well? If someone wants to own a laptop and tablet (as I currently do now) it's more convenient and cheaper to own a surface pro than the 2 seperate ones I have now.
But hopefully machines like this replace the majority of notebooks on the market within th next 3-5 years.
sevags:It's all about what your needs are
That's why I don't want one. My needs are covered for now,........
I do have an iPad 2nd generation that one of my kids gave me, and my (actually two) laptops are portable enough to take places and ~use~ while I'm there.
I just can't justify spending the money for this Surface Tablet when I already have enough good technology on hand to use when I need it.

robbieonsea has commented on the following diary entries
Post | When | Comment |
Elevation | about 1 month ago | Cool map styles. It's always interesting to see new cartography efforts, |
cleanup monitoring_station/measurement_station | 4 months ago | Seems generally sensible to me. The proposal itself mentions amenity=clock, so one observation is why use display:analog=* instead of display=analog (and of course likewise for a digital display)? NB for a clock the display is always implicitly at least yes, otherwise why map the clock at all :) Is it a precedent already set that should be followed? |
SOTM13 | 6 months ago | Me too - even if I said I was going to do this merge for my locality ages ago. Although I still have my own collected data (of various other things) to process first... |
GPS Traces | 8 months ago | Note that GPS_Editor applies a constant time diff to each point. The time difference between points is kept - thus calculating speeds between points is still viable - and could point to where one has exceeded the speed limit. However post calculating 'instantaneous' speeds from GPX tracks is not reliable since the standard only has an accuracy rounded to the nearest second. Often my GPX tracks from a Garmin Nuvi saving every second means I can get speeds over 100mph, when otherwise going slowly (or a spurious point)!! Averaged over a several trackpoints should give a more robust speed value - and hard to deny that would be due to spurious points (especially if a median or modal average is used). I don't know if the OSM Traces API will allow all trackpoints having the same timestamp - as that would be the only way to remove speed inferences. According to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/API_v0.6#GPS_traces - it says "trackpoints must have a valid timestamp", thus setting all points to 01/01/1900 could be feasible. Unfortunately it will not help people trying to process these files to gather speed statistics ;) NB2 that GPS_Editor is Windows only. Goes off to consider adding some kind of Anonymize Time function to Viking (http://sourceforge.net/projects/viking/) which I maintain... |
Just tried the new iD OSM Editor... | 10 months ago | Me2! Especially don't try panning the view. It makes Potlatch2 seem blazingly fast. I don't remember the early alpha/beta versions of iD being sooo slow. I think I might leave it a while before attempting to use iD on my mobile phone... |
Is it possible to have access to statistics about the application of tags to GPS traces? | 11 months ago | Good question - I don't know for sure, but I don't think there's any easy way (not without resorting to importing the full GPX data into your own Database and running queries against it -- eek! -- see http://github.com/iandees/planet-gpx-dump for the gory details) Perhaps you'll have more luck asking this question on the help site: |
impassable gate? | about 1 year ago | Not quite sure what you mean by 'impassable (tall)'! Height restriction? There is the opening_hours tagging to specify timing properties: |
Light up my way! | over 1 year ago | +1 for cycling and walking. IMHO lighting for cars is fairly irrelevant - you have powerful lights to see by and a metal box to keep you safe. Which route I would take in a car would hardly ever be effected by the lighting. Horses for courses I suppose. Have the lights been completely removed from the above mentioned places? Parts of the A3(M) around north Portsmouth are on an energy saving mode so they turn off around midnight to about 6am. I've often thought about blanket setting all roads in Portsmouth to lit=yes, but I haven't been bothered. Cycleways/service roads/footpaths vary greatly and I've tended to tag those. To my mind, in principal a router should automatically assume roads in a (UK) city/large town are lit. I would have thought not being lit is exception. Small towns/villages are much more variable. |
changing mapping interests | over 1 year ago | Initially I into mapping bridleways and footpaths, but most of those around my neck of the woods is very complete. ATM I'm addicted to postboxes and max speed tagging, but also adding missing road names, adding shops. Then there's things no other maps have like recycling facilities, lighting, surfaces, etc... The more involved you get the more you realise there is to map. |
Mapathon - Operation Cowboy | over 1 year ago | Maybe this could be tied in with a new Map Roulette challenge for Arm Chair mappers? https://oegeo.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/new-maproulette-challenge-connectivity-bugs/ I suspect the current connectivity errors could already be all fixed by the end of November. |
OSM Server Virtual Machine Available Now. | over 1 year ago | Good stuff! I've always thought about doing something similar, but other things have taken priority. I thought maybe the setup for the VM (as far as possible) should be configured itself (and as such held under source control eg in github) rather than a collection of [Wiki] instructions. Vagrant seems a good open system for defining Virtual Box images, see: http://vagrantup.com/ but I can't say I've actually used it. |
Royal Mail Pinpoint | over 1 year ago | Good work. I'm not entirely convinced how accurate the collection times are anyway, the other day I posted a postcard and just in time caught the post person emptying the box at 7pm. The box's listed time was around 5:30pm. IHMO It's just a guide as too whether it's likely to be an early or late final collection, and to know where the definitive late post box time is for the area. I think collecting the post box type & royal cypher is vaguely interesting (on a historical slant) as the Royal Mail themselves may not have this info. |
Royal Mail Pinpoint | over 1 year ago | 'I rather hope that they build a dataset of their postboxes...' They already have. See: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/location_of_every_post_box_that http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/last_collection_times And to go about mapping it: |

People continue old behaviors for a reason. In order to encourage people to adopt new behaviors, make them more attractive and easier to do than the old ones. One way to do that is to make old behaviors less attractive, such as establishing negative consequences for old behavior. Conversely, if you know people think there are negative consequences for new behavior, eliminate those and help people feel safe.
For example: A person might think that if he or she will be made fun of if she speaks up. A person might feel awkward doing the new behavior. Others may think, "I don't want to fail, what if I can't do it right?" It's important for team leaders to understand fears like these and create an environment that neutralizes them.
Make it easy for people to do the right thing and hard to do the wrong thing. Take the hassle factor out by using the following suggestions.
Don't wait for perfection!
Be as specific in praise as possible.
Praise more than you correct.
Remember, it takes three to five positive interactions to balance out one criticism.
Yes. You have to praise four more times just to be seen as fair.
Be sincere. Don't say it if you don't mean it.
Link reinforcement to contributions that are linked to the KP Value Compass.
To get more ideas on how best acknowledge the great work of team members who are helping to meet performance improvement goals, check out the Celebrating Accomplishments and Techniques for Recognizing Accomplishment tools.
Review these tools to improve your skills in providing appropriate recognition and reinforcement for your team. If you are a team co-lead, make plans with your counterpart(s) about how you want to reinforce team members as targeted performance improvement occurs.

eagleJack said | May 1st 2012 @ 8:17am | Report commentKennedy is a NSW born prop who plays for the Roosters. Don't worry I'm not starting an eligibilty debate as he moved north as a 10 year old.
Scott, assuming they do start with Petero, which I think they should, then I agree with the make-up of your bench. Parker needs to get a gig ahead of Harrison for mine.
The rest of the team picks itself. I'm definitely not wishing injuries on them but it would be interesting to see the make-up of the team if they lost a few key players.
May 1st 2012 @ 10:39am
rl said | May 1st 2012 @ 10:39am | Report commenteagleJack – your question re injuries got me thinking about a "shadow" Qld team:
Run-on: Bowen, Graham, Neilsen, Tonga, Vidot, Prince, DCE, McGuire, Ballin, Shillington, Lillyman, Costigan, Harrison
Bench: Friend/McCullough, Kennedy, Crocker, Tyrell (who could be another T-Rex if he put his mind to it)
No future immortals there, but some of them are going pretty well this year. I still couldn't find room for Zillman, Ben Hunt, Esi Tonga, or even Chris Macqueen.
But yes, lose Thurston and things become interesting.
May 1st 2012 @ 11:15am
eagleJack said | May 1st 2012 @ 11:15am | Report commentrl – there is no doubt that there is some talent in Qld. That shadow side looks ok.
But I still think that if they lost 2 of either Slater, Cronk, Thurston or Smith then they would struggle. They can cover one of them going down. Not 2.
The fact of the matter is that NSW could name 5 or 6 strong teams. But not one of them could match the current QLD 1sts. Dugan, Stewart, Hayne, Minichiello can all do a job at the back. But they can't compete against Slater. Last year we truly had to scrape the barrel in the centres when bringing in young Hopoate. He had only recently debuted in 1st grade and rarely played away from wing or fullback. If it wasn't for early season injuries and suspensions then Hopoate would have still been in the Toyota Cup in 2011. Could QLD pick 5th string choices and still compete? I don't think they could.
May 1st 2012 @ 11:56am
Gareth said | May 1st 2012 @ 11:56am | Report commentAside from the irreparable damage it would do to the State of Origin concept, they should do a Tri-Series with Queensland, Queensland A and NSW. I think even a third string Queensland side could just about beat NSW. That "shadow" team you've named definitely could.
May 1st 2012 @ 12:46pm
eagleJack said | May 1st 2012 @ 12:46pm | Report commentGareth, 3rd string QLD side would beat NSW? QLD arrogance at it's best! That shadow side is ok. But most of the players are average at best.
Graham, Tonga, Vidot, Prince, Costigan, Friend and Tyrrell wouldn't even make the Manly, Brisbane or Melbourne NRL squads.
Go to a 3rd string side and you'd be pulling up Toyota Cup players.
QLD's top side is great. Best of all time. The depth below that is stretched.
May 1st 2012 @ 1:15pm
Renegade said | May 1st 2012 @ 1:15pm | Report commentIf that shadow QLD side got within 40 points of NSW i would give up.
NSW has more depth but not as much class. Only Paul Gallen from our first side would walk into any team in the world….QLD have about 10 players in their first 17 that could do that.
You look at that shadow side that Eagle Jack has named and seriously, they'd have trouble beating most NRL teams.
May 1st 2012 @ 8:21am
sledgeross said | May 1st 2012 @ 8:21am | Report commentSounds good mate.
As another option, how do you rate Travis Burns as a bench utility for Queensland? STarted off strongly as 5/8 for teh Pathers, now shifted to hooker, tough defender but gives penalties away.
Gaz, I think Scott means Marty Kennedy, the Chooks prop who is/was eligible for both States.

Pot Stirrer said | May 1st 2012 @ 9:00am | Report commentI cant see them picking Barba, They have boyd on one wing and Ingliss in the centres, i think the only position barba can play is fullback.
As a NSW id love them to pick Barba, i believe his defense would be shown up in SOO. Really i cant see them changing last years squad, why would they? Petro may be replaced, I think Kennedy would be good for them of the bench. -
May 1st 2012 @ 10:20am
Pot Stirrer said | May 1st 2012 @ 10:20am | Report commentScott, i could be wrong but the bulldogs are only 4 and 4. Average really, But against the clubs played so far has Barba done any of that brilliant play hes capable of against the same quality players he would come up against in Origin?
May 1st 2012 @ 10:41am
Pot Stirrer said | May 1st 2012 @ 10:41am | Report commentYea i dont recall him having a blinder against Manly, but even so they are hardly state of origin Wingers who will be bearing down on him. Scott i do think he is an exiting player,

May 1st 2012 @ 9:37am
Gaz said | May 1st 2012 @ 9:37am | Report commentThink you'll find, for game one at least, Meninga will be going in with the same side that was successful last year less Lockyer and Yow Yeh of course. Cronk will come into the halves from the bench and either DCE or more likley now Gillett will take Cronks place on the bench. I expect him to keep Petero and Scott for the front rowers so the bench would be Hannant, Taylor, Gillett and Parker.
Not so sure Tate is up to origin now days – he seems to get up slowly from every tackle in club footy but his Cowboy team mate Ash Graham is going really well and is a RH winger and wouldn't be out of place in this side. Another choice would be Dane Neilsen who played last year in place Hodges. He might look at Barba later in the series or perhaps use him instead of Parker on the bench. Barba could come on late in the game and cause havoc similar to Bowen. Anyone remember Kimmorley's pass in the last minutes at Lang Park?

Hopefully not until after he wins a few EPL titles with Liverpool, and a 50M pound transfer fee. mhihi:
I have no idea who Merida is, but why are Barca willing to let these kids go? Cesc Fabregas, Merida, and Pancheco who is only 16 playing regularly on the U18.
Don't forget Gerard Pique. England has been robbing Barcas kids.

You can submit your claim for compensation to the insurance company of the person who caused the accident.
You have 2 options:
Ignacio is a Spaniard who was the victim of a car accident during a trip to Germany. Because Ignacio does not speak German, he found it difficult to submit his claim for compensation in Germany.
Ignacio decided to submit his claim to the Spanish national compensation body once he got back to Spain - thereby avoiding the language problem.

Need for Speed: Underground 2 is the sequel to the best selling game of 2003 Need for Speed: Underground. The original Underground sold over three million copies world wide and completely reinvented the Need for Speed series. However, just because a game sells well, does not mean that it was a good game (case in point Enter the Matrix) Underground was a good game but was not a great game. It had many faults and was far from perfect.
So, EA have gone back to the drawing board and completely remodeled Need for Speed: Underground. In one year they have made some phenomenal changes to the game which retain the feel of the original game but also improve upon the original game. However, are all the improvements good? Or will this be yet another short lived experience?
For those who are unaware Need for Speed: Underground is best described as 2 Fast 2 Furious in video game form. Gamers tune their ride and add performance parts to take part in underground street races. Winning the races earns the gamer reputation and money. Aside from the modifications to the car which make it go faster there are also visual upgrades which can be applied to the cars. This also helps to improve your street credentials, some of these visual upgrades include bigger spoilers, neon lights and tinted windows.
Last year, Need for Speed: Underground was part of only a few arcade racers released in 2003, This year the market is flooded with a plethora of arcade racers including Flat Out, Burnout 3, Ford Racing 3 and Crash N Burn only to name a few. This time around, EA knew Underground 2 needed to be bigger and better or it would simply be ignored.
So, what's keeping us coming back for more? Xbox Live support is included for those of you who like to go online. This is one of the few Xbox games in Australia which support Xbox Live and we are glad that this mode was retained for the PAL release. Playstation 2 Network support is also included for those who pick up the Playstation 2 version.
One of the most hyped up inclusions in Underground 2 is the free-roaming city. Unlike most other arcade racers out there Underground 2 is nearly void of any menu system. The city is entirely free-roaming and races take place in this city, so all races might seem a little familiar, there are five different neighborhoods which are all linked together. While this is a different way to approach the game, Midnight Club II did this nearly two years ago.
Everything takes place in the free-roaming city, Gamers will encounter rival racers who will initiate events, tip players off to the hottest racing spots, and show them where to buy the most sought-after licensed aftermarket upgrades. The game also features more than 30 officially licensed cars (which unfortunately means no damage) and also offers twice the amount of visual customization upgrades as the original game. EA claim that up to 70 billion possible car combinations can be created, so far we've done about thirty different combinations, so we're getting close. However, don't expect us to be testing this claim any time soon.
All of the race types from the original Underground have been retained and some new ones have been added as well. There are now Street X and Underground Racing League races. Neither of them are particularly exciting, but they do add some variety to the game. It also rains in the city and your cars traction will be reduced which does affect your handling.
There are three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard) which means that most people should be able to get into the game quite quickly without finding it to complicated, Although navigating all the options can be extremely confusing. Continuing with what EA did with Burnout 3 there are actually advertisements scattered throughout the city, including companies such as Hungry Jacks and Best Buy.
So, as can be seen from all the inclusions in the game, it has advanced but it hasn't evolved. None of the inclusions are particularly "must haves" in the game and at times this can make Underground 2 feel just like its predecessor, which most people will say isn't a bad thing. We would have liked the game to have changed more though. The game feels and plays just like the previous game as well, the game engine doesn't appear to have changed at all either.
The lifespan of Underground 2 is upgraded as well. The game will now take a lot longer to finish and there is always the online support. The original could be knocked over in about ten hours, but this should last for at least fifteen, more car combinations also allows for more modifications which will make the game last longer.
EA have done a good job in making the audio sound like it should in a game like this. Most of the songs aren't anything you would choose to listen to but are okay and well suited to the game. It is very clear that the most recognizable song in the game is "Black Betty" by Spiderbait. There are twenty seven officially licensed songs. Unfortunately we couldn't find custom soundtrack support for the Xbox which is a big omission.
Need for Speed: Underground 2 is a worthy upgrade to its predecessor and EA have worked hard in a year to distinguish this game from its older brother. Some gamers may be frustrated by the familiarity this game shares with the original Underground but, just like its predecessor Underground 2 is a great game that is filled with plenty of content and will make fans of Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious extremely happy.
Those casual gamers who are picking up the title just because they are a fan of the Need for Speed series, or arcade games in general will also be pleased with the game, as it delivers enough options to keep most people entertained for a very long time.

Abstract After a short criticism of the "self-funded education scheme" which is widely implemented in the world and often based on tuition fees, this article develops theoretical basis for a "contributory education scheme". This model is characterised 1) by a universal access for students to grants allowing them to take charge of themselves during their higher education curriculum; and 2) by a funding regime relying in particular on the population that has benefited from grants, once studies are finished. The article first points out the limits of the self-funded education scheme. Then, it discusses the analogies and differences with pension systems implemented in countries like France. We derive theoretical motivations in favour of a contributory education scheme: The equity of access to higher education, the incentives for students and university to be efficient, as well as the contributory equity are discussed. The article proposes finally to assess, for France, the cost and the options concerning the transformation of the tax system that would be needed for funding such a reform. Beyond the individual income, variables like the degree obtained by the student are taken into account in our assessment. The conclusion draws research perspectives concerning the theoretical dimensions and the transition such a reform concretely implies.Download Info

Financial services of all kinds provided to servicemembers have become a point of emphasis for consumer advocates. This combined with the efforts of CFPB's Office of Servicemember Affairs has raised awareness of the financial challenges facing servicemembers. This has had both positive and negative consequences.
The new focus on the financial services provided to those in the military has shown a light on the exemplary fashion in which defense credit unions serve the members of the military and their families. From the innovative ways credit unions are delivering financial education to providing safe short term credit products, defense credit unions are responding to the needs of servicemembers all around the world.
Unfortunately, it has also led many with good intentions to pursue remedies to the financial challenges facing servicemembers that would ultimately restrict access to products and services available to servicemembers.
Some of these issues came up during the FY2013 National Defense Authorization Act debate. Changes to both the Military Lending Act (MLA) and Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act (SCRA) were proposed in the legislation. While NAFCU did not actively oppose the great majority of the provisions, there were provisions that raised concerns. NAFCU voiced those concerns and they were addressed during the conference report stage of the process.
The conference report removed some troubling provisions in the Senate NDAA which include:
DoD currently has the power to revisit the Military Lending Act regulations as needed, and DoD is currently conducting a review of the regulations to ensure servicemembers are protected from predatory lenders which is the approach NAFCU supports. The provisions above may have forced DoD to write regulations that could include products that are not predatory and not intended to be covered by the Military Lending Act, such as overdraft protection.
Additionally, the conference report removed all the provisions in the House NDAA regarding the Servicemembers' Civil Relief Act (SCRA) which included:
The SCRA language included in the House bill and removed in conference had significant implementation problems, and it would have been costly and virtually impossible for credit unions to comply with the provisions. The proposals have since been revised and the implementation problems were addressed at the urging of the NAFCU. These same changes were included in the House version of the FY2014.
Some of the provisions that were ultimately included in the final conference report are changes to the Military Lending Act. These changes will:
Congress passed the Budget Control Act of 2011, to force a compromise on budget cuts to ensure the fiscal stability of the country. This legislation contained a provision that would force across the board budget cuts, otherwise known as sequestration, for the Department of Defense as well as other agencies if Congress was unable to agree on compromise legislation to implement cuts of the same magnitude. Unfortunately, Congress was not able to come to a compromise and the harsh nonsensical budgets cuts were triggered on March 1, 2013.
The draconian budget cuts did not going into effect immediately. The cuts have been implemented on a gradual basis and the full effects of sequestration will not be felt until the middle of the summer.
To adjust for the draconian budget cuts imposed by the Budget Control Act, DoD initially proposed furloughing many of the 800,000 civilians it employs for a total of 22 days.
Fortunately, Congress passed, and the President signed into law on March 26, a compromise Continuing Resolution to fund the government through the rest of FY2013. Consequently, the fear of a government shutdown, in which servicemembers would be directly impacted, was alleviated. However, the Continuing Resolution did not resolve sequestration.
The Continuing Resolution did not remove the sequester cuts or replace them with more sensible cuts, it did allow for some flexibility with regard to how to implement the cuts. As a result, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has announced that the number of furlough days before the end of the fiscal year is being reduced from 22 days to 14 days, and the furloughs which were scheduled to begin in April will now not begin until the middle of June. The number of furlough days was revised once again to 11 days. DoD Comptroller Robert F. Hale, however, announced in a speech on April 1 that furloughs will not continue next fiscal year.
DoD civilian employees will face a financial hardship, and NAFCU recommends that credit unions provide assistance to your members affected. If you are offering special assistance and have not notified NAFCU of it, please send along any information you have to NAFCU Associate Director of Legislative Affairs and Military Liaison, Quincy Enoch at email@example.com.
At the beginning of the year the Pentagon requested two rounds of BRAC authority from Congress for 2013 and 2015. The last BRAC took place in 2005, and the BRAC '05 Commission recommend that the next round of BRAC take place in 2015. In addition to this recommendation, the recent military funding cuts imposed by the Budget Control Act and the shift in overall military strategy are also driving forces behind the request for authority for 2013 and 2015.
The 2013 request seems very unlikely. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo), chair of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support, said in a hearing last month that BRAC is an area "where there is absolutely no room for compromise this year." She said she would not support a BRAC process for 2013 (The Hill, March 21). It is much more likely, however, for a mandated Congressional study on the impact of an additional BRAC to be granted instead.
While the timing in which Congress may grant BRAC authority is uncertain at best, the Pentagon is preparing for a host of possible scenarios, as BRAC is likely to advance in the next few years. Credit unions with a significant military membership base should be aware of interaction between the Pentagon and Congress on this issue and begin to plan accordingly.
The Office of Service Member Affairs, which was established along with the CFPB by the Dodd-Frank law, has partnered with the Department of Defense to bolster financial education, address complaints and questions about financial issues, and work with federal and state agencies to strengthen consumer protection efforts for military families. Holly Petraeus, wife of General David Petraeus, is the head an office within the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau specifically focusing on military service members and families.
Petraeus previously served as director of the Better Business Bureau's Military Line program, a partnership with the Department of Defense Financial Readiness Campaign. In that position, Petraeus was responsible for providing consumer education to active and retired service members and their families. She also has experience as a volunteer leader in military family programs, working with local, state, and national legislators on issues affecting Army families.
Elizabeth Warren, special assistant to the president and advisor to the Treasury Secretary on the CFPB, said Petraeus' experience, which also includes being a military spouse for over 35 years, provides her with a special understanding of the "unique financial obstacles" that men and women in the armed forces face. Warren concluded that these qualifications make Petraeus "the perfect person to guide the establishment of the office."
In an effort to promote the partnership between the CFPB and military leadership, the CFPB and the Judge Advocate Generals of the all the branches and the Department of Defense released a Joint Statement of Principles on July 6th, 2011.
The Judge Advocate Generals and the CFPB, among other things, will work together to identify potential violations of federal consumer financial laws and establish a single point of contact within the CFPB's Enforcement Division that will allow members of the Judge Advocate Generals' Corps to share information on consumer complaints from servicemembers and military families. In addition, the Offices of the Judge Advocate Generals and the CFPB – including its Office of Servicemember Affairs and Enforcement Division – will create a formal working group with the goal of achieving a coordinated response to unlawful conduct targeted at servicemembers and their families.
The CFPB became operational on July 21, 2011
SCRA as amended October 2010
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA), formerly known as the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act (SSCRA), is a federal law that provides protections for military members as they enter active duty. It covers issues such as rental agreements, security deposits, prepaid rent, eviction, installment contracts, credit card interest rates, mortgage interest rates, mortgage foreclosure, civil judicial proceedings, automobile leases, life insurance, health insurance and income tax payments.
Several of the big banks have been involved in scandals in which they have violated the rights of servicemembers by foreclosing on their home while they were serving our nation both at home and in some cases abroad in combat areas. While we know that credit unions would never commit unscrupulous acts such as these, we have been told by Department of Defense that in many instances of SCRA violations they are committed unknowingly. At NAFCU, we are committed to keeping you educated on this important issue and potential changes that could be made to the statute. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact our compliance staff.
SCRA Overview
DMDC Active Duty Database
The campaign to build wealth and reduce debt could not be more timely. A healthy savings account and a low-to-no debt load is a military family's best approach to overcoming these challenging economic times. Military members' solid benefits and steady paychecks present them with a terrific opportunity to increase their savings and lower their debt each month.
Military Saves is a collaborative effort by the military services, the Department of Defense, non-profit organizations and associations, and financial institutions to provide both a favorable climate for saving money and the attractive accounts in which to save in. People buy what they are offered and Military Saves financial institutions offer military families the absolute best in savings and investment products. The quality and variety of products offered by defense credit unions gets bigger and better every year. In our third year of involvement with the campaign, we have expanded our scope and messaging. We would like to applaud our credit unions for matching our efforts with unbeatable incentives, returns, and member care.
The 2014 Military Saves Week is February 24- March 1

Losing weight is a healthy move to have a healthy body. However there are times when a person loses weight due to an underlying condition or diseases. One of the diseases that cause weight loss is diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus is a disease in which the blood glucose levels cannot be regulated by the body. Diabetes can be genetic or acquired. With diabetes symptoms are: increased or excessive urination, excessive thirst, rapid weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision and slow healing sores. These are just some of the symptoms that an individual needs to look to determine if he or she has diabetes mellitus.
A possible candidate for diabetes mellitus must visit a doctor for proper examination and undergo a series of tests. These diabetes symptoms, should not be taken lightly as these might cause greater health risk if kept ignored. There are treatments that can help resolve the problem. Lifestyle change is the most important thing to do such as doing exercises every day. A healthy diet should start as soon as possible to prevent any other secondary complication that might cause the condition to worsen. For type 1 diabetes, insulin injection is needed and with type 2 diabetes, a lifestyle change and without medication is mostly advised.
An individual with diabetes mellitus should keep track of his or her blood glucose level using a glucometer or a machine that is used to measure blood sugar levels.If you do not know the diabetes symptoms so that you will know if you are a candidate to have diabetes is your family history. If it runs in your family and you are fond of eating sweets with less physical activities, most likely you are a candidate for diabetes. You need to visit a health care professional to help you understand better and advise you on what to do.

At the recent test at Circuit of The Americas near Austin, Texas, some were ready to acclaim Repsol Honda MotoGP rookie Marc Marquez Master of the Universe and even dismiss Yamaha as "a spent force." But as Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo said at the final preseason test at Jerez, "Every track is a different world." At the end of three days at the Spanish circuit, three Yamahas were at the top, with the Hondas of Dani Pedrosa and Marquez fourth- and sixth-fastest.
Rain fell on Saturday and again on Sunday and Monday mornings. Lorenzo worked hard on wet settings all Saturday, but even when the track seemed to dry, it was a spotty result, with corners re-wetting themselves from the high water table.
The real stunner was that Valentino Rossi, newly back on a factory Yamaha after two disastrous seasons on a Ducati, went to the top of the list on Sunday and was only displaced by .014 seconds by a fast lap from Cal Crutchlow Monday afternoon on a leased Tech3 Yamaha. Here is the overall top-10 order at the end of the test:
1. Cal Crutchlow GBR Yamaha Tech 3 (YZR-M1) 1:39.511 (Day 3)
2. Valentino Rossi ITA Yamaha Factory (YZR-M1) 1:39.525 (2)
3. Jorge Lorenzo ESP Yamaha Factory (YZR-M1) 1:39.540 (2)
4. Dani Pedrosa ESP Repsol Honda (RC213V) 1:39.630 (2)
5. Stefan Bradl GER LCR Honda (RC213V) 1:39.975 (3)
6. Marc Marquez ESP Repsol Honda (RC213V) 1:40.130 (3)
7. Andrea Dovizioso ITA Ducati Team (GP13) 1:40.322 (2)
8. Andrea Iannone ITA Pramac Racing (GP13) 1:40.331 (3)
9. Nicky Hayden USA Ducati Team (GP13) 1:40.370 (3)
10. Alvaro Bautista ESP Honda Gresini (RC213V) 1:40.686 (2)
How did Rossi do this? First, he is himself—a nine-time world champion. Second, he has re-adapted to the Yamaha M1 in its current state. And third, he may have come to terms with how chassis must be set up to get the most from current Bridgestone tires. That may mean softer overall, the necessary basis of a corner-speed setup.
"Today's test session was very positive for us," he said. "I'm so happy, especially because we used a different style of setting. It is very important for us to understand this setting, which can help and affect my style to ride the bike in a better way and stay more constant, especially with good lap times on old tires."
And how could Crutchlow be so fast on a leased bike that is sometimes described as "18 months out of date"? Tech3 boss Herve Poncharal said, "The Englishman is much smoother getting into and through corners, with much less effort."
A common progression for riders is at first to achieve lap times only by rapid conscious action, in effect man-handling the bike to achieve the desired performance. Fast laps can be achieved this way but at a cost in fatigue. Over time, this effort can become unconscious, or as Pedrosa put it last year, "less mental," allowing the rider to turn more of his processing power to higher-level tasks.
Third was Lorenzo, focused on the season-opening Qatar weekend, which starts April 3. "We proved when the track was drying up that we could keep the performance of the rear tire over race distance," he said. "It doesn't matter how fast you are in one lap. If you can't keep the level over the whole race, you cannot win."
Lorenzo was talking about the need to achieve a 20-lap setup to have enough tire left at the end to win. On the last day, Monday, he did a 22-lap simulation to verify that this had been achieved.
And the Hondas? Because the track never truly dried, conditions were greasy at best. The Bridgestone press release said, "Sunday and Monday afternoon presented a track that was mainly dry but with damp patches, with riders opting for the softer slick compounds during these periods for maximum grip and warm-up performance in the challenging conditions."
In those conditions, Yamaha's new smoothness worked, and Honda's apparent clear advantage at CoTA evaporated. The Hondas were spinning instead of going ahead as before. Marquez searched for rear grip—every track a different world. This reminds us that the hidden contest is the race to achieve a workable setup. Whoever comes closest in the four, one-hour practice sessions has a big advantage on Sunday.
What about Ducati's recovery plan? Andrea Dovizioso was seventh-quickest, just 0.811 seconds off Crutchlow. "The laptime is fast, the track is fast," said Dovizioso, "but this is not a real gap where I can say this is what we can do. If we make the simulation of the race, we are not so strong. The main problem is the middle of the corner; the bike doesn't turn. You can't enter as fast as you want because if you make more speed, you [run wide]. I lose in that point, but we have good stability in the braking and also in traction we are quite good."
Summing up? Crutchlow's final thought was, "I think it is very difficult to beat the Hondas of Dani and Marc at the moment. I think their package is stronger. We are still working very hard with the Yamaha, but it's going to be a big battle in Qatar."

Does my perfect pooch need a ticket to reside? | Pets: Furry friends ... or fiends? | Flat Chat Forum: Your Questions Answered
Please remember that these posts are organised with the most recent post first. To read the entire discussion please scroll to the bottom and read up.
QUESTION: I currently have a small dog in a leased apartment and have had no issues with the real estate, body corporate or any neighbours.
I'm wondering what the repercussions could be if I took a dog into an apartment which I own, without permission? – Bexbella, via Flat Chat Forum.
ANSWER: I would think twice about taking even a well-behaved dog to an apartment, including one you own, without a clear indication that it's likely to be allowed.
What could the repercussions be if they have a by-law banning dogs? At worst, you would be issued with a notice to comply telling you to remove the dog. Failure to do so could lead to fines that would probably start off at about $200 but could progressively reach $5500 for non-compliance.
If the building has the standard by-law that says they may not unreasonably refuse permission for a pet, you still need to check if they have ever actually allowed pets before.
If they haven't, you need to find out if this is because they have actively refused or if they just haven't had anyone ask the question. Either way, you could be facing months of going back and forth to the CTTT to prove that their refusal is unreasonable. This is good for neither your stress levels nor your relations with your neighbours.
If they have allowed pets – and you can find all of this out from the strata manager, the Executive Committee secretary or by reading the minutes of EC meetings – then you need to find out under what conditions.
To make life easier when you do apply for permission, try to get references from your current neighbours and your rental agents to show your dog is unlikely to be a problem.
By the way, some buildings don't have specific anti-pet by-laws but rigorously enforce their noise and nuisance by-laws; they have the same effect and don't have the pitfall of giving permission then trying to take it away.
Of course, that wouldn't apply to your perfect pooch – even so, try to avoid a dog-fight if you possibly can.

2014 Race Season:
The 2014 Race season will mark the 48th Anniversary of Marion Center Speedway. The 1/4 mile oval dirt track is located on the top of a hill, just off PA Route 119, 3 miles north of Marion Center PA. MCS has been owned and operated by the Potts family since it was built in the fall of 1965 by David and Marybelle Potts, with the first races in 1966. The core of the on-going operation today is still run by their two daughters (June and Janet) and son-in-law Rich Leydic. Friends, neighbors and even former race car drivers make up the rest of the staff that keeps the facility family oriented.
The 2014 Race Season at Marion Center Speedway will start with a Test & Tune Practice Day, Saturday, April 26. All drivers, cars and race fans are welcome. The event will start at 1:00pm through 5:00pm with gates opening at noon. Admission in to the Pit will be $25.00 and the Grandstand is FREE.
The following Saturday night, May 3rd., will be the official start of the 2014 Race Season with 5 racing divisions: Super Late Models, Steel-Blk.
