You smell it under the hood or or the pipes? How many miles on the engine and does it leak and/or burn oil?

11-28-2013, 07:28 PM #3As @Steve is saying, usually when you smell oil burning, you have an oil leak.
So, before you pull the engine, lift the hood and look for an oil leak.
If you hear a knock, it is probably because the oil level is low.
Find the leak, fix it and top up the oil and you may be good to go.Ray

Tommaso Laureti
Tommaso Laureti, often called Tommaso Laureti Siciliano (c. 1530 — 22 September 1602),[1] was an Italian painter from Sicily who trained in the atelier of the aged Sebastiano del Piombo and worked in Bologna. From 1582, he worked for papal patrons in Rome in a Michelangelo-inspired style with special skill in illusionistic perspective that in his Roman work avoided all but traces of Mannerism (Freedberg 1993:654).
Laureti was born in Palermo. After his master's death in 1547, he settled in Bologna, introducing illusionistic perspective paintings on ceilings to the city, notably an Alexander the Great ceiling with a painted architectural setting in Palazzo Vizzani.[2] He painted a Transportation of the body of Saint Augustine for San Giacomo Maggiore. The Mannerist structural elements of the marble and bronze Fountain of Neptune in Bologna, which is surmounted by Giambologna's Neptune, completed in 1566, were based on a 1563 drawing by Laureti. This commission from Pope Pius IV is undoubtedly Laureti's most familiar public work (illustration, left below).
In the Church of Santa Susanna, Rome, Laureti's painting of the Death of Saint Susanna is above the High Altar. His frescoes in the Sala dei Capitani in Michelangelo's Palazzo dei Conservatori on the Campidoglio, painted in 1587-94, depicted episodes from Roman history: The Justice of Brutus; Horatius Cocles defending the Pons Sublicius; Victory at Lake Regillus; Mucius Scaevola before Lars Porsena.
In the Vatican he was commissioned by Gregory XIII to execute a series of frescoes on a post-Council of Trent triumphalist theme, The Triumph of the Christian religion on the new vaulted ceiling of the Sala di Costantino or Hall of Constantine, where the walls had been frescoed by the school of Raphael earlier in the century. The ceiling was completed under the pontificate of Sixtus V, whose armorial devices were introduced into the frieze. The rigorous illusionistic perspectives represent a lifetime's fascination with the art of perspective.
Laureti's illusionistic perspective design for a portion of an illusionistic ceiling, seen as di sotto in su or 'from below to above', was engraved for Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola's, Le due regole della prospettiva pratica., 1583 (illustration, right).[3]
In the Basilica of San Prospero in Reggio Emilia, his altarpiece of the Assumption was completed by Ludovico Carracci in 1602.
Laureti was the second principe or director of the Accademia di San Luca or the artists' academy in Rome, succeeding Federico Zuccari in 1595. His commemorative portrait by Orazio Borgianni, dated 1603, is in the Accademia di San Luca, Rome.[4]

New Soccer Field in Cantzela, Guatemala Provides Safe Playing Area for Local Children
love.futbol Inaugurates 9th Soccer Field in Cantzela, Lays out Aggressive Growth Plan
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — After celebrating the construction of its 9th soccer field in Guatemala on October 30th, love.futbol announced aggressive goals for future growth. The non-profit organization mobilizes communities in South and Central America to spearhead soccer field building projects in order to create safe playing spaces for children. After five years in existence, the recently inaugurated ninth field, located in Cantzela, Guatemala, marks the end of love.futbol's first phase of development. love.futbol's leadership aspires to build twenty more fields by the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Youth in Central and South America face great challenges when trying to play soccer. Children run barefoot in trash dumps, chase balls through sewage and dodge rushing cars in streets. love.futbol's model empowers local communities, giving them the tools they need to build and maintain a field so children have safe, quality soccer fields. love.futbol's unique community organizing approach allows for local leaders to manage soccer field projects alongside community members. love.futbol provides communities with construction guidance and finances the construction materials for the field building.
love.futbol CEO Drew Chafetz said the success of the Cantzela field indicates the organization is ready for aggressive global growth. "Our community engagement model can be applied to a variety of cultures and land settings. We have built nine fields in five years and it's been an incredible learning experience," Chafetz said. "We now have the know-how to expand our footprint. By the 2014 World Cup we hope to complete twenty more fields. The projects in our pipeline are very exciting, and we have already made strides in Brazil," Chafetz concluded.
Before the field's construction, the local Cantzela elementary and high school students would only be able to play a few tournaments and informal games each year on an uneven dirt patch with rocks protruding from the ground. Because of the field's poor condition, the students were unable to host official games with nearby competing schools. With a new field in place, the children finally have a safe place to play.
The Cantzela community, along with the love.futbol team, inaugurated the field with a celebration and a public soccer game where local spectators watched youth players compete. Noe Carrillo, a community liaison in Cantzela explained, "People in Cantzela feel a great sense of pride in their work. We appreciate love.futbol's support in this important process. Children in Cantzela will now have a safe place to share their love for the game," he said. "The new field is a symbol of what my community can achieve together," Carrillo said.

After starting off in a positive frame of mind, despite a healthy pre-market rally in stocks, investors folded up stale long positions in thinning market conditions. This exaggerated the fall, when locals strong-armed prices lower and tripped sell-stops on the way down to session lows. Options flows in the 10-year were also mostly bearish early in the day and provided early clues to the underlying fragility, for those vigilant for the signs.
There was some early selling of 2-year notes as well, which may have been elbowed by the launch of the jumbo $4 billion Freddie Mac 2-year global reference notes due to price Tuesday. The September bond closed 1-8/32 lower at 114-23, while the 2-year note and 30-year bond spread steepened 3 basis points to fresh 11-year wides of +343 basis points as reflation bets gathered fresh momentum.

Melnik is a mostly forgotten town in the southwest corner of Bulgaria. With a stay in Sandanski, it makes for a good weekend journey or--from Sofia--a longish day trip. The town was built amongst rock crags and is well-known for its wine. Order from a local restaurant and the owner will dip a pitcher into a big wooden barrel. Be sure to have a translator with you since English is almost impossible here The city offers interesting architecture and Byzantine ruins that are practically void of tourists. A part of your day must include a trip to the desolate Rozhen Monastery, one of scores of monasteries around the country.
When I visited, one Eastern Orthodox priest lives in the sprawling building and we had plenty of time to look in the chapel, the Monk's cells, and around the grounds. Equally inspiring is the view from the hill top. You'll notice farmers tending their sheep or hauling crops into town. In late summer, watch for farm wives and old men preserving gorgeous red peppers by grilling them on outdoor fires. Bring your camera.

From my understanding the format won't matter because all compressed image files need to be uncompressed to view/print. If you use JPG the compression is lossy and you'll lose quality once it's uncompressed. TIFF can have different compressions including ones that are lossless.
I could be wrong, though.

dodge 2500's with the hemi.
I have been looking for a non HD GM 2500 but they are not exactly common. I have been seeing quite a few of the Dodges out there with the gas engine. I am not a huge fan of Dodge but I am considering one. Anyone have any input?

They are hard to find here too. Chevy trucks are scarce, lots of fords and dodges. Besides, fuck you. I want what I want. I like the 6.0l and I like like getting 16-18 MPG on the highway. I neither want nor need a diesel.

Not Right!
Had a friend buy one a few months back and it is not exactly what he wanted, but he thought what the hell the price was right, now he is having buyers remorse, it doesn't ride as good as his F150 (work truck) or have the power he thought the hemi would have. If you don't have the need for an HD or diesel, buy a 1500 and get the 5.3. I have owned both and there is not enough of a difference IMO between the two when towing heavy loads. The 1500 or 150 will ride waaaaaayyy better and have enough power, unless you are as fat as everyone says you are on here, then maybe you should go for the F350 SD with a 6.7! |

I prefer Dodge trucks, the Chevy's do ride nicer though. The hemi is a great engine and my truck (2005 Power Wagon 4:56 gears) was trouble free at 110,000 miles when it was sold. truck averaged 15mpg on the expressway, and 12-13 around town. The 2006 and newer have the multi displacement cylinder firing which get better mileage.
Look for a 'Power Wagon' they have: front and rear electric lockers, winch, skid plates,electric swaybar disconnect and 4:56 gears I currently still have a 2001 2500 5.9 v8 that I bought new, it has had repair issues but was used for plowing the first 5 years of its life. gas mileage sucks. I like the layout of the Dodge interiors, all controls are comfortable to reach and easy to use with gloves on. I personally think they are the best looking trucks.. I have owned many Superduty Fords and all have had many problems, will never buy another.. If you want a soft cushy ride and lower ride height then buy a Chevy, if you want a firmer ride with higher stance buy the Dodge. Ford is not an option for me. |

Just another day
I had an 03 2500HD crew cab 4x4 with hemi. Im not a fan of the hemi, they have gutless bottom end torque untill about 3500 RPMS and then they pull pretty good. Fuel mileage was 11-13ish. Towing anything it was a shifting monster. I would pull a 10ft enclosed snowmobile trailer and it would constantly be kicking up and down the gears.
Oh also the ball joints, tie rod ends, unit bearings, axle u joints, HVAC blend door actuators, all had to be replaced on this turd.....I wouldnt own another Dodge truck unless someone gave me one. |

honestly everyone is always going to have their preference. The new RAMs have come along way and are way better then ever before. I will be completly honest and say I don't have a lot of first hand experience but have heard several Chevy owners say it feels more solid towing.
I have had two 2500 Crew Cab Laramies for work trucks and two Mega Cab Duallys. Both I found to have great features and never gave me a problem. |

I hope you're right, but given all of the studio's history of recycling old transfers for new formats, I'm not sure I share your confidence. (How many laserdisc transfers were ported to DVD unchanged in the early days of THAT format.)
True, using the same transfer wouldn't given owners of the HD-DVD version a reason to double-dip, but it isn't like they are the target audience for this release. So much of the growth in BD has taken place since the end of the format war (as HDTVs become more mainstream and normal people actually have a reason to pay attention to hi-def content) that I daresay most current Blu Ray owners have never heard of HD-DVD, much less collected the format. If nobody who owns the HD-DVD release buys the upcoming Blu Ray it probably won't make much of a dent in Universal's bottom line. They just need to produce a disc good enough to entice people to replace their DVDs, or to buy the film for the first time on BD.

A technique is proposed for specifying universal quantification and existential quantification (combined with negation) in a two-dimensional (graphical) database query language. Unlike other approaches that provide set operators to simulate universal quantification, this technique allows a direct representation of universal quantification. Syntactic constructs for specifying universal and existential quantifications, two-dimensional translation of universal quantification to existential quantification (with negation), and translation of existentially quantified two-dimensional queries to relational queries are presented. The resulting relational queries can be processed directly by many existing database systems. The authors claim that this technique renders universal quantifications easy to understand. To substantiate this claim, they provide a simple, easy-to-follow guideline for constructing universally quantified queries.

I'm not a healer, but I kept getting called a "bad dps" by a raid-geared healer in a Deadmines run yesterday because my dps was hovering around 9k with a 338 iLevel. Apparently what was fine in January *with harder content* isn't OK now. It wasn't the first time I've seen that type of hostility in non-Zul heroics, either.

haylo75 says: I agree as well. I discovered the static one hour interval for all my events when importing them into iCal this evening. Posted 5 years ago |
neophyterk says: I agree as well. It would be nice to see the real estimated time instead a constant hour in ical. Posted 5 years ago |
nordlys says: Wonderful idea. Posted 5 years ago |
simondedeney says: Oh yes please - my joy (and inclination not to jump ship when my subscription expires) would be infinite (well, it would last exactly 15minutes in iCal) Posted 4 years ago |
benmjt says: I was coming here to post the exact same idea. It would really improve the connection to iCal, giving RTM much more power in illustrating and quantifying my daily schedule. Massive upvote from me. Posted 2 years ago |
pwdavenport says: When I use gcal to view RTM icalendars, tasks assigned to times are not displayed. Tasks seem only to be displayed if assigned to a day but not to a time on that day. Is this the same or related to the subject of this threas? Is this a limitation of RTM's integration with gcal, or icalendar feeds in general? Posted 2 years ago |

marco.bulgarini says: ...this is the one and only thing that's blocking me from getting the Pro version. I need to enter a task quickly on my Android phone and have it synced within minutes to my Gmail Calendar; having all the entries with the same 1-hour dull length just makes this whole amazing thing unusable :( Posted 2 years ago |
karoc says: +1 yes, please, change this. As said in another post, it makes RTM amazingly unusable to have every event sheduled for 1 hour in iCal. Its unnecessary... Posted 2 years ago |
kslays says: I posted this as a separate idea, and the votes were transferred, but my comment was not. I still think this is a MAJOR problem, and I disagree with Emily's two posts (linked above by ranbarton) that it would not work well. The 1-hour decision is a shoddy quick fix. Many people would like to use RTM in this way, ie schedule when they would like to do tasks and how long they will take, then view them on a calendar. If this were fixed, I would renew my Pro contract. Ideally, I would be able to add tasks in gCal/iCal and have them sync to RTM. Posted 1 year ago |
rebknitz says: Just added my vote (well, 2 votes) for this. I would love to be able to use my google calendar as ONLY a visual aid, and not have to add things directly to it :-) Posted 1 year ago |
max.rasboldgabbard says: I realize that implementing this poses some challenges (e.g., whether time estimates are scheduled before or after the due time of a task), but the current arrangement could be improved considerably by shortening the duration in the calendar. Posted 1 year ago |
bannamin says: It would be a big step on the way to have a compete overview in iCal. It would give the meetings a greater And trouthfull place in my calender. That is it, what I connekt to RTM. Posted 1 year ago |
martin.delille says: This would be a real integration that would make rtm a fully professional tool! Posted 1 year ago |
steffl says: Yeah - please add that feature as soon as possible. If so RTM perfectly fits my Google Calendar :-) Posted 1 year ago |
sross86 says: I really can't vote for this enough times. It would be so useful to have in terms of setting up "work blocks" on my schedule. Even shortening duration to 10 minutes each would be fine. As it is, with an hour, I just can't have hour long tasks cluttering my calendar Posted 1 year ago |
osalarve says: Please. Sometimes Calendar view shows more information in less time, which is very useful in GTD. Posted 6 months ago |
hamdanfiras says: this is a must have feature. my events look really weird in that 1 hr hard coded value. this means i will have to enter my data twice just to fix my calendar view. not acceptable in 2013. Posted 16 weeks ago |
shahidc says: Somewhat surprised to see that event duration is not supported in RTM. Posted 13 weeks ago |

Resentencing hearing set for convicted Mont Vernon killer
Spader, 21, indicated he would forego his right to be resentenced under the U.S. Supreme Court's Miller v. Alabama decision in an affidavit he submitted to Hillsborough County Superior Court earlier this month.
Spader is serving a mandatory life prison term without chance of parole for the murder of Kimberly L. Cates, 42, and 76 years for maiming her daughter during the Oct. 4, 2009 home invasion and other convictions.
The Miller ruling makes mandatory life prison terms without parole unconstitutional for juvenile criminals. Spader was 17 when the crimes occurred.
The resentencing hearing enables Spader and his attorneys to present mitigating evidence that was not allowed when he initially was sentenced Nov. 9, 2011. Spader also could testify. Judge Gillian L. Abramson could still impose the same sentence.

Ready, set, pack! Good packing means…
Limiting boxes to a maximum weight of 50 pounds, when possible. Wrapping items carefully. Providing plenty of cushioning to absorb shock. Using boxes that close. Making sure cartons are firmly packed and do not rattle, bulge outward or bend inward. Not mixing items from different rooms in the same carton, when possible. Don't forget to set aside about 5-10 boxes for last minute items on moving day, such as bedding, clothing, and cleaning supplies Take a look at our moving kits. and checklist of packing basics.
"After finding this company on this website we used STI Movers for a move last month. We were extremely pleased with Steve and his staff. He was personally on site to make sure the move went smoothly. Everything was moved quickly and carefully. His attention to detail is second to none. He even called us back to bring over a hanger for a file cabinet that was mistakenly left behind. We would use Steve again and would highly recommend him to anyone else. Thanks again"

Any woman will tell you how difficult it can be to lose the baby weight after having just one child. But what about losing that weight after having eight babies? Nadya Suleman could tell you it's actually not that hard!
After having a set of octuplets in January 2009, Nadya Suleman, aka "Octomom," dropped 150 pounds in the following nine months. She brags that she did it without surgery, without a trainer, and without a meal delivery diet. Weighing in at 270 pounds prior to the birth, she is now back to her pre-pregnancy weight, and wearing a size two.
Of course, we all want to know how she did it.
Suleman tells Star magazine, in which she is the featured cover story this week, that she simply followed the most basic and healthy of weight loss plans that professionals have been promoting for years: Eat less and move more.
While the Octomom may not be one of your favorite D-list, accidental celebs, the mother of 14 (octuplets plus seven previous

Super foods are just "so last year." Simply put, there are far too many healthy, nutritious foods out there to isolate some as better than others. Regardless, Americans do not consume anywhere near the recommendations for vegetables and fruits and we could probably all use a little refresh on our food choices.
All fruits and vegetables are good for you. Period.
As you take on this new year, commit to changing up your menu. Here's a list of five foods you should be eating, if you aren't already, and a few ideas for enjoying them:
1. Whole Eggs - Don't ditch the yolk, which is a good source of choline. Contrary to what most people think of the yolks, the choline present can help lower homocysteine levels in the blood which actually reduces your heart attack risk.
2. Garbanzo Beans - You can get health in a can! I love to keep a container of drained garbanzo beans (or chickpeas) in the refrigerator for salad toppers. Bake them inBy Brandi Koskie - DietsInReview.com

Health, weight loss and fitness were buzz words heard everywhere in 2009. More than any other, this could easily have been the year when Americans really tuned in to the obesity and health problems plaguing our nation, young and old. And while the upside of that is that there was more of a focus on living active lifestyles and being more conscious of the foods being consumed, it was also true that fad diets die hard and they maintained as much popularity as they ever have.
We've narrowed in on ten trends that really made the most impact in the diet industry this year. We can only hope the trend will continue to gain momentum for the healthier approaches in 2010.
1. Spinning
This classic gym class was one of the hottest things going this year, as men and women alike took to these high intensity workouts. During a spinning session, attendees stand to burn about 1,000 calories during a one-hour class.
2. Jillian Michaels

Oops, you did it again. And again, and again. No matter how well you managed your diet throughout the year or how well-meaning your intentions to keep your eating in check, the holiday season once again blew in and sabotaged you with its abundance of delicious treats and savory eats. Now as you take down the decorations and stand in line to return ill-fitting sweaters, you're staring down the new year with an extra pound, or ten, to contend with.
Know that you're not the only one and that you can take it away as quickly as the shopping season went by. It's also important to know that this weight never comes on over night and it certainly isn't ideal to try and take it off over night.
So we've got a few ways that will actually help you shed the holiday weight in a healthy and effective way.

With New Year's once again creeping up on us, there's no doubt you've started toying with the idea of a resolution. People tend to make the same one each year. Why do these get recycled? Because we place a huge burden on ourselves to take on an incredible life change and quickly realize that it's not manageable. The most popular resolutions include losing weight, getting more exercise and quitting smoking, and for good reason, we should all want to start our year focused on creating a healthier self. And these are totally manageable, when you change your thinking.
Don't plan on waking up January 1 and cutting 500 calories from your diet, while taking on an hour at the gym and getting a full eight hours of sleep - and think it's going to stick. We're not programmed to take on that much change at once, it becomes overwhelming.

Excuses are one of the primary obstacles that stands in the way of getting into shape. (Sorry, but round isn't a shape!) Some of the excuses are legit: time is short, work and family obligations pile higher and higher, and exercise is often seen as a burdensome expense. So instead of resting on these, let's take a look at the most common diet excuses and blow them out of the water. Your best body is closer than you think!
1. There's no time. Make time by thoroughly reviewing your schedule. Somewhere in there is a chunk of time just waiting to be burned. Find it.
> Do you watch television? Maybe during a can't-miss show you can run or walk the treadmill instead of sitting.
> Or, do squats, sit-ups and lunges during commercial breaks.
> Take a walk during your lunch break.
> Run the stairs at home three times a day for ten minutes each.
> Wake an hour earlier and fit in a workout.

You might be surprised to learn that in shunning dark meat turkey at Thanksgiving, you're actually shunning some important nutrients. True, we've been told for a long time to stick to the white meat and avoid the dark meat because of the fat content, but really, the difference is so slim, especially when you look at the nutrition gain.
Take a look at the nutrition facts of white and dark meat turkey, and you'll find some surprising facts that might have you elbowing your way in to a drumstick this year.
The following information is for a 3.5 ounce serving of turkey meat without skin, a portion about the size of a deck of cards.

Thanksgiving is equally as much about counting our blessings as it is indulging in great food. No one questions when you've filled your third plate with stuffing and pumpkin pie, no one asks why you consumed your weight in turkey and chose a nap over a walk, and no one laughs when you're most thankful for grandma's homemade macaroni and cheese.
So it's up to each of us to watch our own backs, and bellies, on Thanksgiving. And the one sure-fire place to avoid the calorie conundrum is to mindfully prepare your recipes for a healthy Thanksgiving.
1. Choose recipes that are rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean protein sources. Fresh or frozen vegetables are ideal; if choosing canned, be sure the sugar and sodium content is low.

Did you know that 54 million Americans are living with pre-diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and they may not even know it. November recognizes National Diabetes Awareness Month, and it's a chance for all of us to take a second look at our health so we don't become a statistic. As the daughter of a type 2 diabetic, I know first-hand what life is like with the disease. With all the medications, finger sticks, foot checks, vision tests, and daily grind of nutrition and exercise, it can be a lot for people to manage, especially after a lifetime of unhealthy habits.
Wouldn't it be ideal if you knew exactly how to control your diabetes, or better yet, prevent diabetes altogether? Well, you can, and I'm going to explain the three steps you can take to reverse or prevent type 2 diabetes.
1. Eat More Nutritiously
If you already have type 2 diabetes, then you should know the importance of keepingBy Carmen Staicer - Chief Mom at DietsInReview.com

So you made plans to workout. You did all the prep work: packed gym clothes, grabbed a water bottle and a healthy snack, cleared your schedule, and then, boom! Something happens and your carefully constructed plans vanish in smoke. What's an intrepid gym rat to do? Don't worry, there are many things you can do to workout at home that will give you a great workout, even if you don't have access to your usual weights, machines or trainer.
The Power of 50 - Do a session of 50 squats, 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and 50 lunges. It's guaranteed to get your blood moving!
The Birth Date Dash - Add up the numbers in your birth year. So, 1969 would be: 1+9+6+9 = 25. Now, run that number of flights of stairs.
Wall Work - Create a rotation of push-ups and triceps dips, facing away from the counter, and then rotate it with jumping lunges. Aim to do each set for a minute without stopping, and do 3-5 sets.
Burpees - Start by standing, drop to a squat,

Capital One PPI Is A Form Of Insurance
Capital One Payment protection insurance or Capital One PPI is a form of insurance that is put in place to kick in should you have a valid reason for not making the payments on your Capital One loan, credit card or mortgage. Reasons include unemployment, expected injury resulting in the in ability to earn etc.
Wikipedia states
Payment protection insurance (PPI), also known as credit insurance, credit protection insurance, or loan repayment insurance, is an insurance product that enables consumers to insure repayment of loans if the borrower dies, becomes ill or disabled, loses a job, or faces other circumstances that may prevent them from earning income to service the debt. PPI is widely sold by banks and other credit providers as an add-on to the loan or overdraft product.
So Why Claim It Back?
Many people were mis sold this policy by Capital One! By mis-sold, we mean that:
- Some people, for years were never even aware that they had this policy in place and were therefore paying a premium for a service they might not have wanted.
- Some people had been paying a Capital One ppi premium, even though they were NEVER eligible to claim for.

What is difference if I say "a partial" or "partial" and which is correct in the following sentence: "Students will only recieve PARTIAL/A PARTIAL credit for correct answers that are not written as complete sentences."
2 answers
This would be worded without the article. If the sentence was only talking about one answer, then there would be a (singular) partial credit. But in this context, the potential partial credit is uncountable. We just know that it will be some amount. An uncountable noun does not use the indefinite article.

Students will only receive a partial... sounds correct to me.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my first build on Mobafire, so go easy on me :) I'm making this mostly for reference for me so I don't forget the build order that worked :P (also, please ignore the runes; I haven't really had time to play with them as of yet, so they're all cooldown for now :P not that that's bad).
Basically, you start with Boots of Speed and health pots so you can early game harass, even though it's pretty weak. If you're laned with a good early game dmg character, her Q can hold an enemy still for two seconds and save your DPS character their Exhaust spell a lot of the time to get the early game kill.
Your objective isn't to pull aggro. It's to use your abilities to let your partner do the damage. When you cage an enemy you either throw a shield on your ally to protect them from the other opponent or throw the E to slow their movement back. Try to keep laning until 6 or 7. I switch between Merc Treads and Ninja Tabi based on the opposing team. If the majority of their team or your lane is physical, go tabi. Otherwise, the 25 MR and the reduced debuff time is awesome on any character, IMO :) Try to start getting into Archangels if you can; the extra mana will help you stay in the lane longer. Use teleport after getting boots to get right back in the action so you don't stay out of lane too long. Teleport is also used to get across lanes quickly for fast support (turret defense/push, team battles, etc.)
Once you start hitting mid game stride, you should be doing decent damage with your partner. Once you build into Rod and Staff, you can start going defensive on them. Lux's E ability has the ability to farm minions, and it marks them because of her passive, allowing you to do even higher amounts of damage. The ghosts/ghouls and wolfs are easy targets for Lux in the jungle, and allow for some quick gold mining.
The last 3 items on this build are up in the air. I'm really big on Guardian Angel. It's invaluable in team fights in 5v5, and gives pretty good armor and MR. Frozen Heart (or brain right now :P) is one of my favorite armors. It gives you 99 armor, 500 mana, and reduces cooldowns by 25% and reduces enemy attack speed. Seems pretty good to me (especially because, thanks to archangels, it also adds 20 ability power). Force of Nature as a last item is mostly just to add some more MR to the build, but the health regen is really good too.
I know this Lux build doesn't do a lot of damage, but she gets a lot of mana, a decent amount of HP, and enough armor and magic resist to make you a pretty tanky support late game. If the other team is really bad, switching out Guardian Angel for Zhonya's Ring is a really good switch, especially for the invulnerability part of the equation. Use your E to farm as best as possible, and mid-late game don't be afraid to pop your lvl 3 ult to farm minions. Without CDR, it is back within 35-40 seconds (I don't really remember..), but this build runs 25% without runes and masteries. You'll probably never see the end of this build in most matches since it is a bit expensive.
Comments and suggestions are more than welcome. :) I'd like to make a better Lux support build, and I know this is far from perfect. I've had a lot of good games going this route, so I hope you do too! :)

The Medical Library Association's (MLA) comments address the following areas:
1) The definition and criteria of meaningful use; 2) access to knowledge-based information by health professionals; 3) the use of patient-specific education resources as a component of meaningful use for engaging patients and families in their health care; 4) ensuring the privacy and security of patient records; and 5) interoperability of records.
Definition of Meaningful Use. MLA supports the intent of Congress that the broad goal to be accomplished through the definition of meaningful use of certified EHR technology for expanding the use of EHRs should be that:
"Certified EHR technology used in a meaningful way by providers is one piece of a broader HIT infrastructure needed to reform the health care system and improve health care quality, efficiency, and patient safety." And that "ultimately, consistent with other provisions of law, meaningful use of certified EHR technology should result in health care that is patient-centered, evidence-based, prevention-oriented, efficient, and equitable" (The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub.L. 111-5; Sec. 1848 (o)(2)(A) and as added by sections 4101(a) and 4102(a) of the HITECH Act).
Access to knowledge-based information (KBI). To fully achieve the priority: "improving quality, safety, efficiency, and reducing health disparities," MLA maintains that the technology must have the capability of allowing health professionals access to clinical decision support resources at the point of care—that is, access to the scientific literature. The proposed regulation identifies care goals that call for the use of evidence-based order sets and CPOE; and applying clinical decision support at the point of care," however, the objectives and measures associated with these care goals do not address access to and the use of the scientific literature (e.g., Medline) under the criteria for meaningful use. We recommend that this be incorporated into the regulation.
Patient-Specific Education Resources. MLA also maintains that achievement of the goals for meaningful use must provide for the technology to enable patients and their families with access to data, knowledge, and tools to make informed decisions and to manage their health as outlined in the August 2009 recommendations of the Health Information Technology Council to the National Coordinator for Defining Meaningful Use. We note the decision not to include the objective, "Provide access to patient-specific education resources upon request," and understand the rationale for its exclusion in Stage 1. However, we urge that this objective be integrated into the criteria for meaningful use as early as possible, and no later than 2013. We are encouraged that HHS plans to work with the HIT Policy Committee, NLM, and experts in this area to ensure the feasibility of this measure in the future, and that the January 2010 report of the HIT Policy Committee already reports progress in this area as a result of discussions with these groups.
Privacy and Security. In general, MLA is pleased to see provisions that will allow patients timely electronic access to their health information, and also provisions to ensure the privacy and security of these records.
Interoperability of Records. We continue to support the widespread adoption of national standards that support the interoperability, transportability, and security of electronic health records including the standard clinical terminologies (SNOMED CT, LOINC, RxNorm) and Unified Medical Language System resources supported or built by the National Library of Medicine.

The Evolutionary Imprint of Domestication on Genome Variation and Function of the Filamentous Fungus Aspergillus oryzae
Current Biology, Volume 22, Issue 15, 7 August 2012, Pages 1403-1409
John G. Gibbons, Leonidas Salichos, Jason C. Slot, David C. Rinker, Kriston L. McGary, Jonas G. King, Maren A. Klich, David L. Tabb, W. Hayes McDonald and Antonis Rokas
SummaryThe domestication of animals, plants, and microbes fundamentally transformed the lifestyle and demography of the human species [1]. Although the genetic and functional underpinnings of animal and plant domestication are well understood, little is known about microbe domestication [2,3,4,5,6]. Here, we systematically examined genome-wide sequence and functional variation between the domesticated fungus Aspergillus oryzae, whose saccharification abilities humans have harnessed for thousands of years to produce sake, soy sauce, and miso from starch-rich grains, and its wild relative A. flavus, a potentially toxigenic plant and animal pathogen [7]. We discovered dramatic changes in the sequence variation and abundance profiles of genes and wholesale primary and secondary metabolic pathways between domesticated and wild relative isolates during growth on rice. Our data suggest that, through selection by humans, an atoxigenic lineage of A. flavus gradually evolved into a "cell factory" for enzymes and metabolites involved in the saccharification process. These results suggest that whereas animal and plant domestication was largely driven by Neolithic "genetic tinkering" of developmental pathways, microbe domestication was driven by extensive remodeling of metabolism.

The function and evolution of the Aspergillus genome
Trends in Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 1, 1 January 2013, Pages 14-22
John G. Gibbons and Antonis Rokas
AbstractSpecies in the filamentous fungal genus Aspergillus display a wide diversity of lifestyles and are of great importance to humans. The decoding of genome sequences from a dozen species that vary widely in their degree of evolutionary affinity has galvanized studies of the function and evolution of the Aspergillus genome in clinical, industrial, and agricultural environments. Here, we synthesize recent key findings that shed light on the architecture of the Aspergillus genome, on the molecular foundations of the genus' astounding dexterity and diversity in secondary metabolism, and on the genetic underpinnings of virulence in Aspergillus fumigatus, one of the most lethal fungal pathogens. Many of these insights dramatically expand our knowledge of fungal and microbial eukaryote genome evolution and function and argue that Aspergillus constitutes a superb model clade for the study of functional and comparative genomics.
Abstract | Full Text | PDF (437 kb) - Horizontal Transfer of a Large and Highly Toxic Secondary Metabolic Gene Cluster between Fungi
Horizontal Transfer of a Large and Highly Toxic Secondary Metabolic Gene Cluster between Fungi
Current Biology, Volume 21, Issue 2, 25 January 2011, Pages 134-139
Jason C. Slot and Antonis Rokas
SummaryGenes involved in intermediary and secondary metabolism in fungi are frequently physically linked or clustered. For example, in Aspergillus nidulans the entire pathway for the production of sterigmatocystin (ST), a highly toxic secondary metabolite and a precursor to the aflatoxins (AF), is located in a ∼54 kb, 23 gene cluster. We discovered that a complete ST gene cluster in Podospora anserina was horizontally transferred from Aspergillus. Phylogenetic analysis shows that most Podospora cluster genes are adjacent to or nested within Aspergillus cluster genes, although the two genera belong to different taxonomic classes. Furthermore, the Podospora cluster is highly conserved in content, sequence, and microsynteny with the Aspergillus ST/AF clusters and its intergenic regions contain 14 putative binding sites for AflR, the transcription factor required for activation of the ST/AF biosynthetic genes. Examination of ∼52,000 Podospora expressed sequence tags identified transcripts for 14 genes in the cluster, with several expressed at multiple life cycle stages. The presence of putative AflR-binding sites and the expression evidence for several cluster genes, coupled with the recent independent discovery of ST production in Podospora [1], suggest that this HGT event probably resulted in a functional cluster. Given the abundance of metabolic gene clusters in fungi, our finding that one of the largest known metabolic gene clusters moved intact between species suggests that such transfers might have significantly contributed to fungal metabolic diversity.

Aspergillus flavus is a common saprophyte and opportunistic pathogen that produces numerous secondary metabolites. The primary objectives of the A. flavus genomics program are to reduce and eliminate aflatoxin contamination in food and feed and to discover genetic factors that contribute to plant and animal pathogenicity. A. flavus expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and whole-genome sequencing have been completed. Annotation of the A. flavus genome has revealed numerous genes and gene clusters that are potentially involved in the formation of aflatoxin and other secondary metabolites, as well as in the degradation of complex carbohydrate polymers. Analysis of putative secondary metabolism pathways might facilitate the discovery of new compounds with pharmaceutical properties, as well as new enzymes for biomass degradation.

A wet and cold growing season was bad news for Oregon's fruit crops, except in the battle against a destructive fruit pest. Last year, one-fourth of the organic and non-commerical growers of blueberries, raspberries and peaches reported loses due to the spotted wing drosophila. There was minimal damage to the commerical berry industry. This Asian fruit fly, which uniquely attacks fruit on the tree, was dealt a blow this April when the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave Oregon a $2.5 million grant and the state chipped in $225,000 in emergency funds. The money primarily funded Oregon State University researchers and some farmers to trap and monitor the nasty larvae. Then farmers crossed their fingers as crops began to ripen. So far, there's been "no conventional crop damage this year," says OSU researcher Amy Dreves. The cool spring also helped control the pest population. Wasco County, the location of the biggest 2009 outbreak, has had no sightings this year. Only one female drosophila was found in Hood River County. Farms are controlling the pest, but backyard trees pose a threat. These trees are rarely sprayed and some larvae have been spotted. "I am moderately optimistic. This is not an insurmountable problem," says Dan Hilburn, Oregon Department of Agriculture plant division administrator. Fly damage this season is low, but researchers and farmers are still worried as the days get warmer and drosophila traps get fuller. JOSEY BARTLETT |

In addition to the bank-wide fundraiser, members of the FNCB Community Caring Team, a network of employees who contribute their time and resources to support non-profit organizations, volunteered at the recent Saint Joseph's Summer Festival.
"We would like to thank FNCB for initiating this fundraiser and volunteering their time at our festival," said Sister Maryalice Jacquinot, IHM, Saint Joseph's Center President and CEO. "It means a lot to us that an organization with a strong presence in our community supports our programs."
The support of Saint Joseph's Center represents part of a larger Community Caring initiative by FNCB. Through outreach programs, donations and an employee volunteer network, FNCB is committed to helping the communities they serve.

Biscuit Boy a.k.a. Crackerman
Fat Chance
(Mercury/Universal Records import)
Name an underrated master of sophisticated Britpop. Andy Partridge? Obviously. Glenn Tilbrook? Of course. But the time has come to recognize Paul Heaton. After all, he has spent the last 16 years fine-tuning his cerebral songcraft, first as a member of jangle-pop titans The Housemartins and later as the brainchild behind the pub-thumping soul of The Beautiful South. Taking a brief sabbatical from that band, Heaton has just released his first solo effort as Biscuit Boy. Available as an import, the album is a mixture of old-fashioned pop laced with elements of gospel and blues, marked by his soaring, soulful voice and cracker-dry wit. The album opener "10 Lessons in Love" is a funky, and hysterical, guide to seduction for overweight women. Other highlights include the bitingly sarcastic atheist anthem "If" and the vague doo-wop of "The Perfect Couple," in which Heaton references both Kate Bush and House of Pain. He isn't exactly pushing the creative envelope with this release. But with pop biscuits this tasty, it would be a shame to change the recipe.
