2012 Critics' Choice Awards: Kirsten Dunst & Charlize Theron opt for LBDs
It was a night for the LBDs (Little Black Dresses) at the 2012 Critics' Choice Awards. Similar to the People's Choice Awards, the glittering event attracted a huge amount of A-listers including Charlize Theron.
Of course it doesn't take much to make her look amazing, Charlize did choose well in this ruffled black dress by Azzedine Alaia. It was classic chic-ness at its best as the Young Adult star posed for cameras wearing a Bvlgari ring, a black clutch and a pair of gold sandals. The highlight for me was her hair (I really wish I could have shown you a pic!) which was braided to one side and then weaved into multiple braids and fixed into a bun. Stun-ning!
Kirsten Dunst was another familiar face to attend last night's CC Awards. She also opted to wear black in this sleeveless layered tulle number by Christian Dior. She matched her sweet little dress with a pair of ankle-strap peep-toe heels and simple jewellery.
Similar to Charlize, the actress swept her hair to one side in a braided style. Except instead of a neat plaited bun, Kirsten worked a bit of edginess into her look with a messy side ponytail.
Your thoughts on these ladies outfits?

|Kicker ZR360
|Competition-ready, Kicker's latest 2-channel amp delivers the power and options you need.
Price & Contact: $649.95; 405-624-8510; www.kicker.com
|by Brian Smith
|The ZR360 is a 2-channel amp rated at 90 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Features include large gold-plated connections, a massive heat sink, line outputs, 2-ohm bridge capability, and Kickers Module Docking Port. The Module Docking Port allows the use of any of Kickers Active Signal Processing Modules. The ZR360 that we received for review was equipped with an active crossover module, and several of the optional modules were included as well. These modules offer a variety of signal processing capabilities, ranging from simple crossovers to remote parametric low-frequency EQ.
Its obvious that Kicker has spent a lot of time in the competition lanes. This amp exceeds its 4-ohm rating with a 10.5-volt supply, is devoid of turn-on/off pops, and has a channel error that measures in the hundredths of a dB. Its also built like a tank with a massive heat sink and electrical connections that look like theyve been swiped from an industrial breaker-box and gold plated. On the functionality side, the ZR360 wont make you coffee in the morning, but the addition of the optional plug-in modules offers impressive flexibility. The only weak link in the ZR360s chain is its efficiency. An amp that draws better than 50 amps at 1/3 power is not likely to see its full output potential in the automotive environment.
Installing the ZR360 should be straightforward, although it may be a bit large for a passenger compartment location. The line outputs allow the amps to be daisy-chained, and Kicker even provides the necessary hex wrenches for the power and speaker connections.
Connections & Adjustments
Connections to the ZR360 include RCA inputs, RCA line outputs, the Module Docking Port, and captive-style terminal blocks for all power and speaker connections. The power connectors accept up to 4-gauge wire and the speaker connections accept up to 8-gauge. Input sensitivity is the only adjustment included on the amp itself. All other adjustments are included with and specific to the Active Signal Processing Modules.
The manual provided with this unit covers the five amps in the ZR line-up. Its short, to the point, and doesnt waste your time with useless information.

It's Your Canvas: Customize the Autodesk Inventor 2014 Interface4 Nov, 2013 By: Mark Flayler
IMAGINiT Tricks Tutorial: Learn how to use the many customization options to streamline your access to frequently used commands.
Editor's note: This tutorial courtesy of IMAGINiT Technologies.
Recent enhancements to Autodesk Inventor have dramatically increased users' ability to make the interface their own. Sometimes these enhancements go against individual users' preferences — that's why customization is so important. In this article, we will explore some of the factors that lead into the interface decisions, and then look at how we can truly make it our own with customizations for items like the Navigation bar, the Marking menu, the keyboard, and even a little ribbon work.
First, let's see how Autodesk gets its data points on how to adjust or enhance the software's interface and command sets.
Autodesk Customer Improvement Program
Autodesk constantly gets reports about everyday use of Autodesk Inventor from users participating in the Customer Improvement Program (CIP). Without interrupting the participating customer, the CIP collects up to 100 K of data daily. This information includes:
- Total hours product is in use
- Product commands used
- Hardware configurations, such as CPU type, memory, and input devices
- Adjacent Autodesk products installed and used.
Based on this data, changes are made to the interface to enhance the most commonly used aspects of the software — and sometimes, hide away those that are not as frequently used. For more on the CIP program, check out the Autodesk website.
Autodesk also actively engages the community for feedback in programs such as the Inventor IdeaStation, as well as holding focus groups and "gunslinger" events to get a perspective on some of the human factors instead of only looking at these reports.
Customize the Navigation Bar
Our first customization — and the first thing I customize on a new install — is the Navigation bar. This bar sits below your View Cube in the upper right portion of your graphical canvas. By default, it has quite a few commands that are not really needed if you are using your mouse every day. Commands like the Steering Wheel, Zoom All, Pan, and Orbit are not terribly useful to me unless I travel with my laptop and forget my mouse.
Typically, I use my mouse center wheel for Zoom (scroll) and Zoom All (double-click it), and for zoom I have either my 3Dconnexion mouse or I pull out a keyboard trick and hold Shift while holding the middle mouse button. This leaves my Navigation bar pretty useless until I make it my own. The little arrow at the bottom of the bar allows customization of the commands. Here I have added Projection and Visual Styles. Since I do a lot of work in technical publications as well as PowerPoint, these tools are more necessary for me than most.
One item I would like to see here right now that is not available is the Sectioning tools for parts and assemblies. That way I would very rarely ever have to go to the View tab of the ribbon. (It seems like a good thing to add to the Inventor IdeaStation for the community and Autodesk to gauge the usefulness of the change!)
Customize the Ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar
The ribbon was added in Inventor 2010, which is now five releases ago. Over that time, ribbons have been proliferated throughout Autodesk programs, providing a more streamlined feel from one product to the next as well as a familiarity with the newer software programs outside of Autodesk programming, such as Windows 8 and Microsoft Office. The AutoCAD ribbon has the greatest amount of customizability over the other software products, since it has the largest amount of commands available to it and such an expansive user base. When you look at the Inventor ribbon, there are nowhere near as many commands as in AutoCAD; that's due to the advanced nature of Inventor compared to a simpler vector-based system. In general, these ribbons grant more discoverability to the commands than interfaces of the past.
Customizing the ribbon was a very big deal when it was first introduced, because users wanted all the commands they use every day on the first tab of the ribbon rather than clicking around for them. In order to assuage this type of request, you can add a custom panel in the ribbon.
You can also move commands in and out of expanded panels and command groupings.
The latter of these two images is quite easy to do inside Inventor right on the ribbon by clicking or right-clicking appropriately. For the Custom panel, we have to go somewhere else. On the Tools tab, there is a command called Customize. This dialog has three tabs inside it: Ribbon, Keyboard, and Marking Menu. On the ribbon tab we can easily find commands on the left, add them to the right, adjust their size and text, and also add separators for the commands.
You'll notice I added the Visual Styles here as I did in the Navigation Bar. My intention here is not to duplicate commands all over the place, but to show you that you can make a user decision based on where you want to access commands.
Customize the Marking Menu
The marking menu that was added in Inventor 2012 really started to open my eyes to the customization possibilities in the interface.
I felt like I was finally able to take control of the interface that focused around my cursor and took up so much of my valuable eye attention in any given day. That Marking menu got better in 2013 with updates to cleaner in-command access to Cancel and Approve, and even better with the ability to have my own completely custom sub-marking menu. This latest enhancement is triggered by holding down the Ctrl key and right-clicking. This menu is pretty much empty until you fill it, with the exception of the sketch environment one that houses all your 2D sketch constraints.
The last tab in the Customize window is the one responsible for adjusting this to suit individual needs. From the figure below, you can see that with just one environment how much there is to customize about the Marking menu in general, as well as the new Ctrl right-click menu. For the most part, the other sub-environments are set pretty well. I usually only change one or two things on Standard Component, and then I go right into my Ctrl menu.
Here I have added some really helpful commands that keep me away from the ribbon almost entirely in any given session.
I have my Bill of Material command that Autodesk moved away on me, the new Constraint visualization tools for showing and hiding constraints on screen, Analyze interference for those modeling issues that arise from time to time, my iLogic triggering, and even a productivity tool for saving and replacing a component all at once. I even added the Open Drawing command so that when I have a component selected I can open its associated drawing right from the graphical canvas.
Customize the Keyboard
The Keyboard customization is quite easy to set up; you simply have to assign a key to a command, and that's about it. If you assign multiple characters to a key, you may have to use the Enter key in conjunction with the shortcut to start your commands. For instance, in the figure below you will have to press B then Enter to start Balloon, or B then D without Enter to start a Baseline Dimension.
While you are inputting the keyboard shortcuts, you will see a command alias input in the lower area of your interface to help you with the keyboard selection. You can use the up and down arrows to browse through the various autocomplete aliases, and use Enter to choose what you want as well. Due to some of these complexities and the general mouse selection nature of Inventor, this will probably be the least common customization you perform.
Year to Year
If you read these tips and are seriously considering taking a half-hour out of your day to apply them, you will see some really nice improvements to your mouse movement and interaction with the software.
But some of you are probably thinking, Great, but what about next year? Well the answer to that is that you can export these settings as an XML file and reimport them next year, or if you have to do a reinstall of your software. I have yet to have them degrade on my since Inventor 2012, when I first started adjusting the interface. When new commands come out you may have to square them off against one another for the honor of being in your Marking menu or ribbon, but either way you will come out the winner.

'Are You Watching This?!' Tells Sports Fans When to Turn on the TV
Even if you're a hardcore sports fan, it's impossible to watch every game being broadcast. But you can rest easy, because there's a new site that will watch them for you and give a heads-up when there's an instant classic in progress. According to Lifehacker, Are You Watching This?! monitors each day's games, which (depending on the time of the year) can number more than 100, and uses an algorithm -- based on factors like in-game situations, historical data, highlight-reel plays and others -- to determine whether or not it's worth your time to watch. The service then sends you an e-mail or text message to alert you to turn on your TV or get online to watch. If you still miss a game for some reason (or just want to catch up on water cooler talk), you can check out reviews of old games on the website, too.
Are You Watching This?! is a handy tool for serious fans who don't want to miss a second of action and for casual ones who might like high drama but don't follow any particular team. Finally, we don't have to watch 'SportsCenter' on repeat to keep track of what's happening. [From: Lifehacker and Are You Watching This?!]

The Black Hoof's Berkshire pork–shoulder tacos
Toronto's best taco gets a lot of love before it arrives on the plate: the pork is cured in annatto seeds, slow braised, shredded, simmered in pork fat and then finished with a dash of bitter orange. On top, there's a dollop of lime-kissed guac and airy-light chicharrones (i.e., glorified pork rinds). $11. 928 Dundas St. W., 416-551-8854.

A word from Wann Japanese Izakaya
An Izakaya is a common Japanese bar/restaurant that is often found in cosmopolitan areas for after-work relaxation and an opportunity to unwind after a busy day.Continued
Izakaya restaurants all have a multi-faceted menu and offer many types of food such as sashimi, tempura and yakitori; all appetizing dishes which go well with the alcohol served such as beer, sake and shochu.
Due to the informal atmosphere, instead of ordering and eating individual platters, customers usually share all dishes with one another in their party.
While maintaining true to the Izakaya environment, WANN have brought class, sophistication and refinement to match the modern people of today.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/31/2014Had reserved for 8pm. Arrived early. No hostess. Place looked empty A group of strange people dressed in strange costumes were filtering in. A girl finally walked by. She said she would find someone. Another 10 min hostess finally She talked to 2 girls who just arrived. I told her I had a reservation..it was now 820pm. She said we would be seated behind the walkin groups of 6 and 2. I showed my confirmation. She said we would be seated behind the walkins It would be at least 30 min. Had taken a cab there...not impressed. She said she could recommend 2 other Japanese places. I had already tried them . Nothing until 915. It was obvious she knew the strange party of 6 some of whom were now necking! We went to Japonessa. BEST!!!!
- Good serviceSushiLoveVIPDined on 8/27/2014We appreciated servers being very attentive and friendly.
- MediocreFood1Dined on 8/23/2014Food was very salty i.e. roll, ramen. Rice was mushy and doughy.
- Exceptional dinnerSabaBobDined on 8/13/2014We met some friends from Seattle here and had an absolutely wonderful meal. Every item we ordered was delicious. You can't go wrong at this place. And the prices were quite reasonable as well,Special Features:
- The following 16 reviews are from the Wann Japanese Izakaya reviews archive.
- Killer happy hour, great serviceSeaDineDined on 5/3/2014I hadn't been here in years, so it was a very pleasant surprise to enjoy their happy hour menu. Too much, actually! The portions were incredibly generous for the price, a good range of sushi rolls, nigiri and sashimi -- as well as cooked food. Drinks weren't shabby either! The apple sake was tasty. Only bad thing is the garage next door. DON'T PARK THERE, no matter how tempting it is to be right next door. My car and several others were broken into -- and people who park under there told us it's not an uncommon occurrence. The smell alone should put you off.Special Features:
- Good Enough to Need 2 N'sScotchAndSteakSavantVIPDined on 4/18/2014I've had my share of Japanese food, both _in_ Japan and stateside, and I expect anything calling itself an "izakaya" to excel at a diversity of small(ish) plate cuisine and have a reasonable selection of credible sake. Good sushi is of course always a plus. Wann hits all the bases, serving up a great fusion of traditional foods and Northwest zest. The seating space is intriguingly diverse, including a glassed-in rock garden and private banquet rooms. It's a few block walk from Pike Place, but totally tractable and totally worth it.Special Features:
- Great food and serviceSubtleoxidationDined on 2/14/2014I booked a table for Valentine's day at a recommendation of a friend. I was definitely surprised at the quality of the food as well as the service. A+!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A feast of taste sensationsjapanesophileDined on 2/14/2014A great small plates place. Go with a group for happy hour (all day Mondays and Tuesdays!) and you'll be able to fill up on a huge variety of tasty morsels. Both traditional Japanese and contemporary/fusion offerings. The decor is also a tasteful and imaginative blend of traditional and contemporary Japanese. Generously sized small plates, exceptionally good prices and attentive service. Interesting cocktails if you like that sort of thing (I don't) and a good selection of wines, sake and shochu. The only drawback is the Belltown lack of parking. Otherwise, a winner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service was a circusMikeDined on 1/25/2014Terrible service. Ran out of seafood - in a sushi restaurant.... Told us would be 30 minutes before our entrée arrived. And then eventually mine arrived but my wife had to wait. Explaining to the waiter we would like to eat at the same time they took my food away, and then 30 seconds later a separate waiter brought it back, again without my wife's..... All in all - this place was a circus. We left at that point and went to a different restaurant
- Good Sushi - Nice DecodjusssDined on 1/8/2014I was really pleasantly surprise with the menu. Everything was good and in good portion for a reasonable check. Strongly recommend to try the Brie Tempura with Raspberry Soy Sauce.Special Features:
- Delicious appetizersGurumekunDined on 11/22/2013The butabara (pork belly) skewer combined with nigori-sake was super awesome! The servers were super nice as well. The place is great if you like Japanese izakaya food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good HRCassandraDined on 10/8/2013Place has a pretty good happy hour! During the weekday I would suggest going before or at 6:30 ish , any later than that, the restaurant get's super packed and ordering happy hour food could take a while! Overall not bad :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Good for a daterhe323VIPDined on 8/9/2013I've been looking for a sushi restaurant that also has a romantic feel to it. Wann was just that. My boyfriend and I went here for our date night. I really liked that it was quiet and had lower lighting. The background music was nice too. I had tempura udon - I enjoyed it and would come back to get it again. I also got a specialty roll, but can't remember which one it was. My only complaint is that the menu on their website didn't match the menu in the restaurant - the menu in the restaurant had a lot more options, but at the same time was missing some of the items I saw online. There was a roll on the online menu that I wanted to try, but it wasn't on the menu in the restaurant so I had to pick something else.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great service, atmosphere,MulvaDined on 3/16/2013Great service, atmosphere, and food. I would go back to eat more of all that chargrilled goodness on a stick. I will say that the meatballs were so-so, I wouldn't bother with those.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Give your review a title (optional)OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 3/8/2013Overall a great experience and I would go back. The happy hour menu is GREAT and is extended late by ending at 7PM so good for those who work late.It had wide variety and dinner and drinks for 3 people was under $40, which is AMAZING. Our Sushi rolls were among some of the better rolls I've had in Seattle. I also liked the seating.The service was friendly but left a little to be desired. there seemed to be some confusion over seating me for my reservation and I kind of got forgotten about while I waited. Once I was seated,the hostess said she'd bring water but didn't and our server didn't appear for another 15 mins. I was afraid we'd miss happy hour but they graciously let us make the HH order.Special Features:
- They have a good happy hour.OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 2/9/2013They have a good happy hour. We like the selection of small bites which allows us to sample a number of dishes. Good food and a good deal.

May 2001 NewsletterWines evaluated last month: 213 Rejected: 194 Approved: 19 Selected: 2
I can't remember offering two selections with roots as old these. While 116 years isn't too impressive to the Europeans, it sure stands out in California. Of course, it makes no difference when the caves were hollowed out, only how good the wine is. But, when you can get a bit of history AND a great wine together, who's to argue? This month's Diamond Grove Chardonnay is a perfect example of classy Chardonnay's from the sunshine state. Too much sun, however, can flatten a wine. Fortunately, Diamond Grove understands that better than most, producing a cool climate wine with plenty of flavor and expression.
Historic may be a better adjective for Max Aubert's Domaine de la Presidente Côtes du Rhone. After all, it's only been around for 350 years and was once the social palace of the entire area. It has been owned past and present by Presidents of States, wine organizations and universities. What a great intro to a wine that tastes like royalty but you don't have to hock the entire kingdom to drink it. This beauty is a guaranteed sell out. Don't dawdle.
Domestic SelectionDiamond Grove is part of the ultra premium arm of Golden State Vintners. Their extremely modern facility in St. Helena, in the heart of the Napa Valley, was first founded in 1885. Diamond Grove ages their wines in the original cellar, which has been expanded and upgraded, yet still retains the charm of over 100 years of winemaking.
Diamond Grove sources their grapes from estate vineyards in the cooler areas of California. This gem comes primarily from Sonoma and Monterey with a dash of Napa to add the boldness we expect from a world class wine. The wine was barrel fermented and aged in oak which accounts for the vanilla and spice that are present, but not at the expense of the multi-layered fruit components.
Chardonnay is so identified with California that it may not be a coincidence that they begin with the same first letter. It is the most planted premium white grape here, eclipsing the next varietal by nearly double. There's a reason for that. In order to achieve the golden color and rich tropical fruit essences we associate with this wine, the grapes must ripen evenly, yet slowly. This can only be accomplished in cool, dry areas where the threat (not to mention the potential reality) of rain during harvest is almost non existent. In these areas, the grapes mature on the vine at a slower pace and produce wines of richness and balance.
Few places allow this to happen as well as the cooler areas of Sonoma and Monterey. Monterey especially is one of the coolest grape growing districts in the state. So cool, in fact, that it has taken winemakers several years to learn how to deal with Monterey's climate. They have succeeded beyond the expectations of most as Monterey wines consistently garner accolades and awards for their richly-textured and multi-dimensional wines. Enjoying this wine with a rich lobster or crab dish will make the point perfectly clear.
Chardonnay, 1999
Diamond Grove
Bold, authoritative pineapple and spice with hints of green apple and cinnamon. Perfect with the Crab Souffle recipe on page 6.
Perfect now. Will hold for another year. Serve chilled (approx. 1 hr. in refrigerator).
Imported SelectionThe fascinating history of Max Aubert goes back to the middle of the 16th Century. The winery, in the heart of the Southern Rhone, was owned by the Galliffet family and managed by one if its members, Simon Alexandre. He was also President of the Parliament of Provence. His wife was one of the grand socialites of the region. It was such a great honor to dine at the chateau that it became known as "La Presidente."
After the French Revolution in 1789, the estate became a national property and changed hands several times until purchased by Max Aubert in 1968. Aubert was the best person to take over this historic and relevant site since he came from an old grape growing family, was president of the Wine University and Grand Master of the Commandery of the Côtes du Rhône.
Today, Max Aubert is one of the largest and most honored estates in the Rhône and is managed by a third generation Aubert. Their impressive collection of vineyards spans the hierarchy of prestigious sites including Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Cairanne along with our superb Côtes du Rhone.
The Rhône is without question one of the greatest red wine producing areas in the world. It is a place where soil and climate coalesce into a united entity producing power and elegance almost beyond compare.
There are 13 permissible grapes allowed here. The major reds are Grenache, Mourvedre, Syrah and Cinsault. Each adds its own imprint on the finished wine and together, when grown in the warm bask of the sun's glow and imbedded in the calcareous and granite laden soil, produce complex and enticing wines that one will never tire of.
As if this were not enough, the 1999 vintage produced wines of such power and presence that we are hard pressed to remember an equal in the last decade. Only the price brings all this lofty verbiage back to earth. But, you'll figure it all out once you pull the cork.
Cotes du Rhone, 1999
Max Aubert
Coat do Roan Max Oh Bear
Enticing nose of black berry and earth mingled with spicy overtones. Full and rich in the mouth with a long finish. Terrific with the lamb recipe on page 6.
Will continue to improve for 3-5 years. Serve cool (approx 30 min. in fridge).
Member Inquiry"Paul, How do California wines compare to other countries?"
P.F.C., Montebello, CA
I believe a winemaker's first duty is to make a wine which is true to the grape and vineyard. France makes the best French wine in the world. Oregon makes the best Oregon wine in the world. While we should revere great wines and try to emulate their greatness, I don't believe we should be trying to copy them. These lofty goals usually end in failure. We should try to do our best with what we have to work with instead of making a "me too" wine.
Another important consideration is vintage dating. The vintage date tells when the grapes were picked and converted into wine. Mother Nature is unpredictable, often bringing hailstorms, frost, rains, unusual cold or hot spells at the wrong time. Wide vintage variation and, occasionally, total losses, are a way of life for the winegrowers of Europe. The big difference in California and many other temperate areas is that the wine crop seldom experiences a major loss or a vintage of very poor quality.
For most of the world's finest wines, knowing about a specific vintage is helpful because it tells you something about the wine's quality and also about its aging potential.

Helping you balance your Work and your Life
Family Child Care Program
In addition to administering the Family Child Care Program, the Family Child Care Coordinator has information on local child care resources and the Coast Guard- and GSA-sponsored subsidies.
The Family Child Care (FCC) Program enables spouses or other family members of Coast Guard members to operate a child care business in their homes. The FCC Program provides cost-effective and convenient child care for members with greater flexibility than center-based daycare while providing a second source of income for the FCC provider.
ANY INDIVIDUAL OPERATING A DAYCARE (sometimes called babysitting) IN COAST GUARD-OWNED OR -LEASED HOUSING MUST BE CERTIFIED AS AN FCC PROVIDER. For these purposes, a daycare is any child care arrangement where parents drop their kids off at the provider's home. It can be full day, after school, 3 times a week, occasional, etc. If the individual providing the child care services does so for more than 10 hours a week, then their child care must be certified by the Coast Guard. Please contact the FCC Coordinator if you have questions.
In order to become an FCC provider, you must meet the following requirements:
Must be at least 18 years old, a responsible, emotionally stable person capable of exercising good judgment in caring for children, and have the ability to speak, read, and write functional English;
Must be a family member and an authorized resident in Coast Guard-owned or leased housing.
Once you express an interest in becoming an FCC provider, you will need to do the following:
Submit an FCC provider application;
Have a physical examination including a tuberculosis screening test;
Pass a background check which looks for history of child or spouse abuse and/or neglect;
Become certified in CPR for children and infants and Standard First Aid (we can help you with this) and complete the required Family Child Care provider orientation training (done with the FCC provider and FCC Coordinator). Providing child care in your home is a great service to our Coast Guard families
Contact Maura Redy, 718-354-4404 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com
U.S Coast Guard Child Care Subsidy Program
The Coast Guard Child Care Subsidy Benefit program was created to assist Coast Guard Members who use any federal child care center, or any state licensed child care facility in the Continental US (CONUS) and outside the Continental US (OCONUS) which includes child development centers as well as in home licensed child care providers to provide childcare for their children. The benefit is available to Active Duty Members and Active Duty Reservists called to action for 180 days or longer and do not have access to a US Coast Guard Child Development Center (CDC). Families will qualify for subsidy benefits based upon their Total Family Income (TFI), that is, (Adjusted Gross Income + Annual BAS + Annual BAH II).If you have questions regarding the Coast Guard's Child Care Subsidy program, please visit www.gsa.gov/portal/content/102063. Email:firstname.lastname@example.com or call: 1-866-508-0371.

Announcing that it is ceasing business operations, Fort
Lupton, Colo.-based Colorado Railcar Manufacturing LLC will release all its
employees Dec. 31, according to a statement posted on the company's Website by
President and CEO Larry E. Salci.
Salci's statement noted that Colorado Railcar has a major liquidity
problem, their lenders have a secured position in the assets of the company
and, therefore, are in the process of liquidation.
The company was attempting to rejuvenate passenger railcar
manufacturing in the U.S., and featured diesel multiple-unit (DMU) equipment options, but actual purchases
were limited.
Colorado Railcar's DMUs will debut on Portland TriMet's
Westside Express Service on Feb. 9.

For a talented young Andover woman, sports competition is nothing unusual. Except that 17-year old-Emily Buchanan's sport made her a world champion.
Last year Emily won the World Championship and Grand National Morgan Horse Competition. Not many are even aware of it, but like all other sports, it takes talent, years of competition and training, and a love of horses.
"Ok boy, got it?"
The horses name is Irish O'Ryan and he likes treats.
"After he gets it, he smiles. Kind of like his version of thank you."
Perhaps it was always meant to be. A little girl, never far from a horse. It was nine years ago when Emily Buchanan was given horseback riding lessons - a gift from her grandmother. A gift that was to change Emily's life.
"It's kind of an indescribable passion that really has no description."
From there, she took it all the way to a World Championship Morgan Horse Competition. Originally bred for strength, Morgan horses are one of the oldest breeds in America.
"They judge the riders on their form and their ability to control a horse and on the horses that are more high stepping and spirited and we're judged on how well we can control it or maintain a standard position. I think some of the most memorable things you get out of it is the training."
A senior now at Trinity Academy in Wichita, Emily is planning to attend college at Mid-American Nazarene University in Olathe.
"I believe in God and I have a relationship with him and that is part of how I got this far."
But the stables are another classroom from which she'll never graduate. It's just part of her life.
"The competition is the culmination of all of it."
(Announcer) "The 2007 Champion comes from Andover, Kansas."
"You come out of there and you keep thinking….Did I really just do that?"
"No one can get there without the training and after I won the World Championship in the past, I always remember the moment of having your number called."
"But when I think about it, I come out of the ring as the same person."
"It's the training who changed who I was."
Much of her training was in two locations; Wichita Riding Academy located in Southeastern Sedgwick County and in Kansas City. Emily worked for years under well-known trainer Cheryl Manahan and Kansas City Trainer Sandy Sessink.
"When I go to college I'm going to take my horse, Ryan, with me. He was my first horse that I ever got and he's like my little baby."
"I'm determined and when I get my mind set on something I want to do I don't quit until I do it, like riding, I got my mind set on winning a world championship and I'm not going to stop.."
"It's my favorite thing to do."

While in cruise flight the airplane experienced a fuel feed problem from the left wing tip fuel tank to the rear fuselage fuel tank. The pilot made the decision to execute a precautionary landing at the Elk City Municipal Airport to correct the fuel imbalance problem. While on short final to runway 17, at approximately 100 feet AGL, the pilot attempted to jettison the fuel from both wing tip fuel tanks in order to maintain aircraft control. The jettison cap opened fully on the right wing tip tank and only opened partially on the left wing tip tank. The pilot applied full right aileron and rudder; however, the airplane's left wing tip 'hit' the grass to the left of the runway. During the landing roll, the airplane veered off the runway to the left, crossed a drainage ditch, and came to rest upright approximately 650 feet from the runway. Examination of the left wing tip fuel tank revealed that the dump cable release was binding, and initially pulling on the cable did not retract the one ball bearing found protruding from the cylinder wall. After pulling the cable about 10 times it freed up and began to retract the ball bearing.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

What Is Academic Fraud?
All students at the University of Virginia are bound by the Honor Code not to commit Academic Fraud, which is a form of cheating. The following is meant to raise awareness among students as to what academic fraud is and how to avoid it. Academic fraud includes:
- Plagiarism: Plagiarism is using someone else's ideas or work without proper or complete acknowledgment. Plagiarism encompasses many things, and is by far the most common manifestation of academic fraud. For example, copying a passage straight from a book into a paper without quoting or explicitly citing the source is blatant plagiarism. In addition, completely rewording someone else's work or ideas and using it as one's own is also plagiarism. It is very important that students properly acknowledge all ideas, work and even distinctive wording that are not their own. However, certain information in any discipline is considered "common knowledge" and may be used without acknowledgment. What is considered to be common knowledge varies among fields, when in doubt consult a professor or TA. Students unsure of how to properly acknowledge a source are encouraged to consult an RA, TA, professor or manual of style. Frequently used style manuals include The Elements of Style, by Strunk and White, the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, published by the Modern Language Association; The Chicago Manual of Style, published by the University of Chicago; and A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations, by Kate L. Turabian.
- Multiple Submission: Multiple submission is the use of work previously submitted at this or any other institution to fulfill academic requirements in another class. For example, using a paper from a 12th grade English class for an ENWR 101 assignment is academic fraud. Slightly altered work that has been resubmitted is also considered to be fraudulent. With prior permission, some professors may allow students to complete one assignment for two classes. In this case prior permission from both instructors is absolutely necessary.
- False Citation: False citation is falsely citing a source or attributing work to a source from which the referenced material was not obtained. A simple example of this would be footnoting a paragraph and citing a work that was never utilized.
- False Data: False data is the fabrication or alteration of data to deliberately mislead. For example, changing data to get better experiment results is academic fraud. Professors and TAs in lab classes will often have strict guidelines for completion of labs and assignments. Whenever in doubt about what may be considered academic fraud immediately consult with the professor.
- Internet Resources: : Internet Resources are quickly becoming popular materials used in academic research. As more and more people gain access to computer technology, the number of web sites devoted to academic pursuits is increasing dramatically. Many of these web sites provide reliable information; however, others may not include well-documented research. If you rely on Internet resources for your research, please be sure to use the proper citation. You may consult the style guides mentioned above or follow the links below for information regarding proper citation of on-line sources.
MLA Style published by the Modern Language Association
Chicago Manual Style from the Chicago Manual of Style Online
APA Style by the American Psychological Association
Students at the University are responsible for knowing what is considered to be Academic Fraud. For further information and examples consult the Academic Fraud and the Honor System Pamphlet available in the Honor Offices on the fourth floor of Newcomb Hall. If you ever have a question or concern about Academic Fraud and Honor, contact your Honor Committee representative or an Honor Advisor at 924-7602.

Ash's Infernape
Ash's Infernape
Ash's Infernape (Japanese: サトシのゴウカザル Satoshi's Goukazaru) is a Pokémon owned by Ash. It was initially owned by Paul as a Chimchar, but joined Ash's team after being released in Glory Blaze!.
Diamond & Pearl series
With Paul
Infernape was once a Chimchar owned by Paul. Prior to events of the Diamond and Pearl series, Paul saw Chimchar being chased by a group of wild Zangoose. The situation looked bad for Chimchar, but in its stress it pulled off an extremely powerful Flame Wheel. This impressed Paul enough to add Chimchar to his regular team. However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities, resulting in Paul criticizing it for being weak. Traumatized, Chimchar gained a morbid fear of all Zangoose.
Chimchar's first episode was When Pokémon Worlds Collide! where Paul used it to battle Ash's Aipom. It fought well, but lost in the end. Chimchar reappeared in Different Strokes for Different Blokes where it won against Ash's Turtwig and Shapes of Things to Come! where it beat Roark's Onix but lost to Roark's Cranidos.
After losing to Cynthia's Garchomp in Top-Down Training, Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition, where he was forced to battle alongside Ash. That night, Ash discovered Paul's training regime, which involved his Pokémon attacking Chimchar in the hopes of recreating the power he had seen before. Ash intervened and took Chimchar to the Pokémon Center where Nurse Joy told Paul it would be unable to battle. Paul ignored this warning.
During the next battle against a Zangoose and a Metagross, Chimchar was too scared to make any attack when caught in Zangoose's claws, and had to be saved by Turtwig, who was seriously injured as a result. Chimchar made up for this by protecting Turtwig from a Fire Blast attack. Furious at Chimchar, Paul refused to give any orders. Consequently, Ash gave Chimchar commands for the remainder of the battle. After the battle, Paul released Chimchar in front of Ash. As the little Pokémon headed back to the wild, Ash invited it to join him, to which it accepted. Paul rudely commented that the two were perfect for each other: both were worthless scum.
With Ash
Immediately after being released and offered to join Ash, Chimchar was kidnapped by Team Rocket, but used Flamethrower on the mecha they had used to steal it, blasting them off. It then promptly joined Ash.
In the final round of the competition, Paul and Ash selected Elekid and Chimchar for their last battle in Smells Like Team Spirit! against Conway's Heracross and Dawn's Buizel. During the battle, Elekid evolved into Electabuzz, and they both combined Thunder and Flamethrower on Buizel and Heracross to knock them out. This victory meant that Ash and Paul won the Hearthome City Tag Battle Tournament.
In Tears For Fears!, Ash and his friends had a picnic party. Chimchar watched as Ash, Dawn, and Brock's other Pokémon had fun playing, battling, and helping cook together. Chimchar began to have flashbacks of when it was still in Paul's possession, reflecting on how its former Trainer abused it and treated it like nothing more than a tool for battle, giving it a few minutes to eat before going back to extensive training, as opposed to how Ash and his friends treat their Pokémon like friends, caring for them and not pushing them too hard. Chimchar began to cry out of joy that it was finally treated with patience and kindness, something Paul failed to do as its Trainer. In the same episode, Chimchar was faced with the challenge of battling three Zangoose in order to save Ash's Pokémon. Though Chimchar had a morbid fear of Zangoose, with Ash's encouragement Chimchar was able to overcome this fear and save the other Pokémon, getting rid of Team Rocket in the process as they were sneaking off.
In A Triple Fighting Chance! Ash used Chimchar in his Gym Battle against the Veilstone City Gym Leader, Maylene. Chimchar battled Meditite, but was recalled after Meditite confused it. It was then sent out against Lucario where it was ultimately defeated, despite a valiant effort.
In Chim - Charred! Ash, Dawn, and Brock ran into Paul. Ash and Paul had an argument about training methods, and an enraged Ash challenged Paul to a battle. Chimchar volunteered to go up against Paul and faced Paul's Ursaring. Ursaring and Paul used brutal tactics, and Chimchar was pushed to the point of using Blaze. Chimchar easily defeated Ursaring, but went on an uncontrollable rampage. Ash grabbed a flaming Chimchar, begging it to stop. Chimchar continued to struggle and even went as far as to bite Ash in its rage. Eventually, after being embraced by Ash, Chimchar calmed down.
Later in Double Team Turnover!, when battling Team Galactic, Chimchar protected Pikachu from a Poison Jab launched by Saturn's Toxicroak. Chimchar was incapacitated for the rest of the fight, and was later thanked by Ash (after receiving medical treatment). Cynthia then comforted Chimchar about its past with Paul.
Ash later used Chimchar to battle against Barry in Barry's Busting Out All Over!. Chimchar easily defeated Barry's Staraptor, using its superior agility. However, despite the type advantage, Chimchar lost to Barry's Roserade.
In Shield with a Twist!, using Ash's counter-shield strategy, Chimchar defeated Fantina's Mismagius and Drifblim, earning Ash his Relic Badge.
In Dealing With Defensive Types!, it was used in the battle against Byron's Bastiodon, Bronzor and Steelix. It defeated Bronzor and Steelix, but eventually fell to Bastiodon. This mirrors Staravia's previous participation in the third Gym, with it defeating the Gym Leader's first two Pokémon and losing to their third.
In Sliding Into Seventh!, it was used in the Snowpoint Gym battle. Chimchar battled Candice's Snover and Abomasnow, and despite a harsh battle with Abomasnow, it defeated both of them, earning Ash his Icicle Badge.
In Evolving Strategies!, Chimchar was used in the full battle Ash had against Paul. It defeated Paul's Ursaring, which had previously taken down three of Ash's Pokémon, and evolved soon after into a Monferno, immediately learning Mach Punch. During the following battle against Paul's Electabuzz, it put up a very close fight, but was defeated in a clash of Mach Punch and ThunderPunch, and badly injured, resulting in a loss for Ash.
In Uncrushing Defeat!, Monferno, along with the rest of Ash's Pokémon, was badly injured. It needed a Cheri Berry to help treat it, but the Pokémon Center didn't have one. After Brock got one by Lake Acuity, it became recovered slightly. It eventually attacked Team Rocket in combination with Ash's other Pokémon.
In Bagged Then Tagged!, it was used in a Tag Battle with Dawn against Lyra and Khoury. Monferno used Flamethrower on Dawn's Cyndaquil's Flame Wheel to defeat Lyra's Chikorita, and defeated Khoury's newly evolved Croconaw with a Mach Punch.
In Fighting Ire with Fire!, Monferno battled Barry's Empoleon. After being struck by a Hydro Cannon and sent crashing into the forest nearby, Monferno entered once again into an uncontrollable rampage with Blaze, but managed to control it in the last second in order to save Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup, Paul's Electabuzz and Barry's Empoleon from Team Rocket's falling mecha, evolving into an Infernape in the process.
In Flint Sparks the Fire!, Ash used Infernape in a battle against Flint's Infernape. However, despite its power and speed, it was unable to keep up with Flint's Infernape and was quickly knocked out with a Mach Punch.
In The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!, Infernape participated in Ash's rematch against Volkner. It defeated Volkner's Jolteon with a Mach Punch. When it battled Volkner's Luxray, it took severe damage, pushing it to activate Blaze. This time, however, Infernape was able to control itself and defeat Luxray with a powerful Flame Wheel, giving Ash the victory and the Beacon Badge.
Before the Lily of the Valley Conference, Ash decided he would need help from his previously caught Pokémon. Due to this, Infernape, along with Ash's Sinnoh party (save for Pikachu) were all sent to Professor Oak's Laboratory. Later during the tournament Ash recalled Infernape to his team and trained against Brock's Sudowoodo to improve Flame Wheel when Infernape suddenly learned Flare Blitz. Ash planned to use it along with his Torterra and Glalie, but after Dawn said power may not be enough, he decided not to use sheer power and instead used different Pokémon.
Infernape was later used in the full battle against Paul's Aggron, where it managed to burn Aggron with Flare Blitz before finally defeating it with Mach Punch. Ash decided to recall it when Paul sent out his Gastrodon. Later on it was sent out again to battle Paul's Ninjask. Ninjask's Agility was getting the better of it so Ash told it to use Dig then Flare Blitz which heated up the field, causing fire to erupt out of the ground, which made a mist cover the whole field that drastically damaged Ninjask and also cancelled Drapion's Toxic Spikes attack. After putting up a good fight, Infernape was able to put an end to Ninjask's lightning speed with a Mach Punch, evening the score. Infernape's final opponent was Paul's Electivire in a heated battle in Battling a Thaw in Relations!. Infernape initially caused Electivire severe damage, but after a while, it was caught by Electivire's tail, and took so much damage from Electivire's Thunder attack that the referee had almost declared it unable to battle. But, Blaze was once again activated, giving Infernape the strength to defeat the Thunderbolt Pokémon with a devastating Flare Blitz attack, giving Ash his first victory against Paul as well as access to the Semifinal Round of the Lily of the Valley Conference.
Ash left Infernape at Professor Oak's Laboratory when he decided to go to Unova.
Best Wishes series
Infernape was reunited with Ash in The Dream Continues!, where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.
Personality and characteristics
Infernape, as a Chimchar, was usually a very sweet and kind Pokémon, until Blaze was activated and it went on a rampage until it could be stopped by Ash. Every time Chimchar saw Paul, it would get really fired up and determined to defeat him in battle. Chimchar never gives up in battle, which is a trait that it carried with it as it evolved into Monferno, and then into Infernape.
Infernape is quite the feisty Pokémon and, in its current stage, is always looking for someone to battle and some new way to boost its skills. Its personality almost completely matches Ash, which is why these two are a perfect match for one another. It still retains some of its childlike personality from when it was a Chimchar, and, like when it was a Chimchar, always takes any advice and motivation it receives, even from its enemies, such as Meowth.
Moves used
|A † shows that the move was used recently, unless all moves fit this case or there are fewer than five known moves.
Moves improvised
- Counter Shield was used in Shield With a Twist! and Evolving Strategies!. Chimchar/Monferno uses Flamethrower after using Flame Wheel, releasing fire whips everywhere.
- Flamethrower Wheel used in the Tag Battle against Khoury and Lyra, it starts off with Cyndaquil running ahead and using Flame Wheel and while Cyndaquil somersaults into the Flame Wheel, Monferno uses Flamethrower towards Cyndaquil causing more flames to gather and a speed boost towards the target.
- Flamethrower Skating used in Ash's Battle with Candice. It consists of Chimchar using a piece of ice as a skateboard to gain speed and use Flamethrower to avoid being counterattacked by Abomasnow's other attacks.
- Underground Flare Blitz was used in a battle against Paul at the Lily of the Valley Conference in A Real Rival Rouser!. Infernape used Dig, and then while underground used Flare Blitz, causing the entire field to heat up and fire to burst from the ground. This canceled the effects of Drapion's Toxic Spikes and also damaged Ninjask.

Lexington Police warned residents Monday of a scam in which a man in a wheelchair pretends to have a mental disability in order to get people to give him money, and soon after an LEX 18 reporter caught the alleged scammer in the act.
Police say the man, Gary Thompson, 30, does have the need for the use of a wheelchair, but is also able to get out of it. They say that he has been spotted at several Lexington shopping centers, including the Lansdowne Shoppes, Hamburg and several places along Nicholasville Road.
On Monday, police held a news conference to put out the information about Thompson. After the news conference was over, Thompsonn was spotted by an LEX 18 reporter who had just attended the news conference. The reporter, Kristen Pflum, said that she called to Thompson, who she says immediately went into his mental disability scam. When Pflum informed Thompson she had just attended a press conference about him, she says he immediately dropped the act and said, "Alright, you got me." He then claimed to be making between $60,000-$100,000 per year.
Thompson then left the scene.

Kansas Support Our Troops, Inc. is the authorized nonprofit for administration of the Kansas Support Our Troops plate.
A champion is needed in Kansas.
Although widely accepted and unanimously approved in other states, our trademark Support Our Troops! license plate oddly is not yet in Kansas. At some point we will publish a history on those who have caused it to lag.
The plate could be issued and look like that shown above. Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't it be a great show of good-will from we civilians to the troops and their families? Wouldn't it make them feel great?
If you are or know a properly positioned Legislator willing to champion this cause, please contact us.
Sales of a Kansas Support Our Troops plate would (a) allow people to publicly state their support for their troops and families, and (b) provide a means of raising patriotic private money®® to bolster the troops who are sacrificing to protect all of us.
The plate is a simple direct means through which we can all step up for those who have stepped up for all of us.
Join the online SOT Community (it's free) and we'll keep you posted. You can also separately tell us if you would like to help.
You may make a donation if you would like to help us help them.
Until we have this done, you can continue to show your support with our trademark front vanity license plates, available in metal or plastic, available in our online store.
Please send the link to this page along to anyone else in Kansas you think is interested.

And with Gucci platform sandals and a smattering of maxi chains to accessorise, Pixie looked the picture of glam in her draped asymmetric number. We just wish she'd dress like this more often!
