Crew Cut: Family Business
After featuring The DONZ Family Crew in a recent Crew Cut edition, we came upon a couple of Crews cut from the same pin-striped cloth, including the illustrious Financed and Corrupt (FNCO). Their recruitment vid, which features The Godfather's classic theme and shows off their trademark red and black on everything from three piece suits to freshly painted Vapid Peyotes, sends a clear message to all of greater Los Santos that they are not to be crossed.
Speaking of mafiosi, the MADE OF STEEL MOS (1MOS) is all business, gravely warning "Don't mess with our money or our family". In contrast, the crimson-striped Based MOBB (MOBB) Crew appears to take a lighter approach to the whole la famiglia thing - by the looks of things on their Snapmatic page they seem to be mostly about the fun, but mess with them and you might get burned.
MOBB wear the masks of red death.
The Richkidzz (RICH) Crew are mobbing in their own unique way, rocking their signature orange getups like a modern-day GTA Online chain gang. Commissioner thaforce wrote to us with great pride in the photos they've been taking, confident they were strong enough to be featured here in the Crew Cut. Feel your Crew should be represented? Give us a shout and convince us why at email@example.com.
Blood orange. The Richkidzz at various stages.
Most Crews have at least that one member with an itchy iFruit finger, eagerly out to capture every mission and ill moment to post to Snapmatic and/or Instagram. The Pack of parasites (1124) Crew have quite the active leader and lensman in 3rdeyeopen47, whose Instagram is solely dedicated to Crew drift action.
The Grave Reapers MC (GRMC) Crew, known for pushing iron horses above and beyond, have been taking the same approach with their own Instagram feed as seen in some selections below:
Commissioner TDSpiral of The Crystal Moth (MOTH) Crew released on deviantART this impressive GTA-artwork-style original illo in honor of his squad.
Crews have been out in full force at the first couple of GTA Online Social Club Event weekends - check out some party photos snapped during the #VespucciBeachParty and the recent Social Club #CreatorWeekend Event.
Vespucci Beach Partygoers. From left: The Asylum MC (SYLM) Crew a rockin on top of the new Paradise van; the Public Enemy GALICIA (PEGA) Crew salute with panache; and the SN1-SN26 (SN26) Crew are the most frightening thing to happen to the conga line since Buster Poindexter.
Crews styling during the most recent Social Club Event. From left: Joe_Dirt_Yall captured some of his Reapers - LosSantos (ROLS) Crew having a blast; GTA Paris (7593) Crew Leader sebbob93's usual unobstructed city view out of his apartment window just got blocked by one of his Crew-mates hoisting a Canis Bodhi with a Cargobob; mathduf27 and a couple other members of the Saguenay (SAGS) Crew of Quebec in festive red and green duds.
The Social Club Crew community has been on a hot streak with stellar videos as of late. The GamerFuzion (GMRF) Crew captured their very first time in Survival mode. If you have yet to test the waves, this run through at the Railyard is a nice introduction. For even more guidance, look to HikeTheGamer and his group of compatriots the LANDED IT (HIKE) Crew below for a fun capture of an epic live-stream session they had filled with custom car flexing and wanton destruction.

Final Fantasy VII G-Bike—developer CyberConnect2's expanded mobile take on the Golden Saucer mini-game from Final Fantasy VII—now has its sights on a release date. As revealed in Famitsu magazine, the G-Bike action hits iOS and Android devices in Japan on October 30. Video and more after the jump.
The heroes of Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children are the latest FF variants to join Square Enix's Play Arts Kai figure series. Red XIII is due in December. Tifa Lockhart and Barret Wallace are due in December and Cloud Strife is coming in April. With seven gattai combining swords, could sells for 12,960 yen, while the other three go for 10,584 yen. Get a look after the jump.
Final Fantasy VII G-Bike is bringing the Gold Saucer mini-game to iOS and Android, and Square Enix is previewing more of the obstacle-dodging action in a special Tokyo Game Show 2014 trailer after the jump.
Whether you have fond memories of Final Fantasy VII or not, you'll surely find something that rings true in Smosh Games' Honest Game Trailer for the beloved entry in the long-running RPG franchise. Preview FFVII the honest way after the jump.
Final Fantasy VII G-Bike has Square Enix partnering with Naruto and Asura's Wrath developer CyberConnect2 for a smartphone spin on the FFVII minigame. According to Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase, director of the fan-favorite RPG, its success could lead to more Final Fantasy VII games in the future. Read on for more.
Anyone who played through Final Fantasy VII remembers the Gold Saucer mini-games, including the G Bike race that had Cloud essentially reenacting his motorcycle escape from the Shinra Building for points. According to this week's Famitsu magazine, that game is on the way to iOS and Android as Final Fantasy VII G Bike. Read on for more.
Do you think a mere flower girl from the ghetto could show up on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" or "MTV Cribs?" Final Fantasy VII's Aerith Gainsborough could--her home's valued at just under $2,000,000! Check the details after the jump!
If you love the cutesy look of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy's chibi characters AND Final Fantasy VII, a new set of toys are on the way to capitalize on that charm. Square Enix will be selling Theatrhythm-style Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth figures starting June 27, with each going for ¥2,880 ($28). Pics past the break.
Sometimes RPGs end up complicating even the most simple of tasks. Take Fox's Animation Domination Hi-Def Final Fantasy VII cartoon, for instance, in which Cloud attempts to live a normal life and shop for groceries. Hit the jump to see what happens.
Square Enix's Yoshinori Kitase recently commented on the potential of a Final Fantasy VII remake, stating that the two biggest obstacles are "staff availability and budget." Despite deeming it too big of a project to take on, the company registered a trademark for the fictional Shinra Company in Japan. Hit the jump for more.
If you love Final Fantasy VII, and especially the way its characters were depicted in the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy rhythm game, you'll want to get your hands on Square Enix's upcoming Static Arts mini figures. See Cloud, Tifa, and Sephiroth, along with pre-order info, after the jump.

Horn Lake High's Fright Night benefits theater department, food bank
As Halloween approaches, Horn Lake's Latimer Lakes Park has come alive with the undead.
Fright Night, a production of the Horn Lake High School theater department, kicked off last weekend at the park at the corner of Nail and Tulane roads. It continues this Friday and Saturday from sundown to midnight, and concludes on Halloween night, Wednesday, when it is open until 9:30 p.m.
The centerpiece of the event is the "Spook Trail," a guided walk through the park laced with chills like the Headless Horseman of Horn Lake.
"There's something to scare everybody … and even if it's not scary, it's good exercise," says department chairwoman Cara Smith, who organizes the event each year with her students.
"I'm terrified of the dark. I have to do this trail every year. I'm going to be checking on one group after another of kids, and I'm walking through the woods in the dark alone. It is the biggest act of courage on my part every year."
The Horn Lake theater department's main annual fundraiser, Fright Night started four years ago as a partnership between the school and the city's Chamber of Commerce to provide citizens with a family-friendly atmosphere to celebrate the holiday. Last year, the school took over right Night with capital backing from the city, which is reimbursed after the event.
Smith says Fright Night isone of her students' favorite activities. Planning starts over summer break.
"The first day of school, kids come to me with ideas," Smith says. "It's become this epic, legend thing. Because we've done it so many years now, it's taken on a tradition and culture kind of like homecoming has, at least for the theater department.
"What amazes me is how many parents are willing to say, 'Sure, you can keep my kids in the dark woods until midnight.'"
Besides the bigger and better thrills every year, Fright Night also has a bigger, more noble purpose.
Admission to the event is $6. Proceeds help fund the theater department. A $1 discount is available with the donation of a nonperishable food item to the International Thespian Society's "Trick Or Treat So Kids Can Eat" campaign, which will distribute the food to local food banks.
"It's showing kids how you can have civic responsibility even as a teenager," Smith says.
Last year, Fright Night drew approximately 300 people over two nights. This year, with the schedule expanded to five nights, Smith hopes to triple that number, with a target of 800 pounds of donated food items.
"Our goal this year is to average 200 people a night, and if each one of those people brings a can of food we could fill a semitrailer with food," says Smith, adding that last year the entire state of Mississippi only collected 750 pounds of food for the program. "We really want to turn this into Horn Lake's community event for Halloween and really make it a city event, not just a high school event."

It's become trendy for actresses to speak out against Botox: Drew Barrymore is freaked out by it, Jennifer Aniston doesn't need it, Kim Kardashian tried it and hated it. But Julia Roberts has just given the best reason we've ever heard for avoiding the face-freezing injection: her relationship with her children.
"I want my kids to know when I'm pissed, when I'm happy and when I'm confounded," says Roberts, 42, in a cover story for the September issue of Elle. The mother of twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 5, and Henry, 3, believes that everyone's face tells a story, and "it shouldn't be a story about your drive to the doctor's office."
Not many celeb-watchers actually consider the effect Botox would have on an actress' kids, but it's a very smart thing to consider: After all, children learn to read and understand emotions by looking at their parents' faces every day. Roberts certainly has a good head on her shoulders -- and she continues to prove it by explaining why she doesn't buy into Hollywood's fear of aging.
"It's unfortunate that we live in such a panicked, dysmorphic society where women don't even give themselves a chance to see what they'll look like as older persons. I want to have some idea of what I'll look like before I start cleaning the slates," says the actress, who appeared on her fourth People's Most Beautiful cover this year.
Spirituality may have something to do with keeping the Oscar winner grounded. Although the actress was raised in Christian churches in her native Georgia, she's now a practicing Hindu -- and says she regularly takes the whole family (including cameraman hubby Danny Moder) to "chant and pray and celebrate" at the temple. Given her experience, we're guessing those tricky-looking meditation and chanting scenes in Eat Pray Love were actually a piece of cake!
Roberts' new film, Eat Pray Love, opens on Friday, Aug. 13.

|Day use fee is now $6 per person. When the front gate closes use the self pay station at the front gate. Not free after 5. There is a night patrol. The 11/30/13 flood has left a lot of debris. The map point shows Onion Trail not the bouldering area but the location description is accurate. There are usually maps at the self pay station that clearly mark the bouldering area but not the routes.

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks attendance ranks 20th in MLB, on par with last year
Despite being in first place in the National League West for most of the year, the Arizona Diamondbacks' attendance figures have been roughly the same this season as they were a year ago.
So far this season, the team is drawing 26,880 fans per home game, according to ESPN. Chase Field's capacity is 48,633. So, on average, the stadium has been 55 percent full for D-backs games this year.
Last season, the team drew 26,884 fans per game, according to the Phoenix Business Journal.
Entering Friday's game, Arizona's attendance this year ranks 20th in the MLB. Division rival Los Angeles Dodgers are drawing the most fans (45,060 per game) this season, ESPN's numbers show. Another Diamondbacks division rival, the San Francisco Giants, is drawing the third-most fans per game (41,667) in the Majors.
Coming in last so far this season is the Tampa Bay Rays, with just 17,916 fans per home game.

Roasted, Spiced and Simmered: 12 Winter Recipes with Cauliflower
Crisp, hardy cauliflower has a mild sweetness we love whether roasted simply or simmered with spices in a warming curry. During the cold days of winter, it's a bright spot in a sea of winter greens and squashes. If you're looking for a new recipe to change up your usual cauliflower routine, here are 12 great ones, including a comforting (yet surprisingly light) cauliflower and sausage casserole, a cauliflower and potato soup with dill whipped cream, and a Middle Eastern roasted cauliflower dressed with tahini and date syrup.
Comfort Food Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie with Biscuit Topping
Recipes from The Kitchn
I first came across "Aunt Cleo's Chicken Pie" while digging through my fiancé's tattered purple recipe folder, filled to the brim with handwritten index cards that his mother, Tina, had originally sent with him to college. We were only in the beginning phases of dating when I rummaged through the file, but I figured out pretty early that he was a sucker for his mom's home cooking.
Easy Dinner Recipe: Viking Chicken
Recipes from The Kitchn
I've been doing a lot of cooking this week, and it's been really nice. When my marriage ended a year ago, I was suddenly thrown back into cooking by myself again, and at first I was lost at sea.

Fresh, Colorful & Nourishing: 8 Whole Grain Salads for Winter

Celebrating Winter Greens: 5 Recipes We Love Right Now
While many folks lament the produce available this time of year, I find the cooking opportunities to be rich and inspiring.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are thankful
The Casa del Mel crew (Daisy, Jasper, Cupcake, Maggie and I) wants to thank you to all of you for being a part of the No Dog About It community. We love that you share your stories and your experiences with your dogs with all of us.
Knowing that many of you are not worrying about a lost dog, because yours came running back to you when you sat down or opened a car door, is something I am truly grateful for.
Hearing how Maggie's story has helped many of you and your puppy mill dog is inspiring. I am grateful I can share your joy at the small steps forward. Each one is truly a celebration.
Knowing that many of you have found comfort here when you were faced with the pain of saying goodbye to a beloved pet is something I never expected, but I am so truly grateful for. It can be such a sad and lonely moment and it helps to have others who have been there before. I am beyond grateful to coniatthebeach, who has offered some of the kindest and most supporting words to those facing this difficult decision. Coni, I could never say what you do with such support and empathy. Thank you.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with friends, family, joy, laughter and your beloved pets. God bless all of you.

Adopting Maggie – You need to understand what is involved
This week I learned that someone was interested in adopting Maggie. My first reaction was not what one might think. I was uncomfortable with the idea.
I know some of you will think this means that I have fallen in love with Maggie and just can't bear to part with her, but that would be incorrect. Yes, I love her, but I have three dogs of my own and the reality is four is more than I can, or want, to handle on a permanent basis. So, I while I will be sad when she is adopted, I am okay with her finding a new home – as long as it is the "right" home.
The real reason my reaction was less than enthusiastic is because 1) I do not think Maggie is ready for a new home yet, and 2) because when it comes to puppy mill dogs like Maggie, I struggle with trusting that the potential adopter(s) truly understands what they are getting themselves into.
I have met people who think they are absolutely the right home for a puppy mill dog only to realize that they didn't really get it. They had fallen in love with a face, a story, but not with the reality of what life is truly like with a mill dog. They didn't understand that most puppy mill dogs don't like to be touched (at least not at first) or that some may never be able to leave a yard to go for a walk. They didn't get that calling the dog's name and holding out a treat would not result in the dog running to them with a wagging tail. They didn't quite get the potential "flight risk" of a mill dog. They thought love could fix all the dog's fears when the reality is that love has little to do with helping a puppy mill dog. It's good to have it, but more is required.
That is not to say that there aren't people out there who DO get it. There are. I have met them as well. They are awesome and amazing people too, and I hope one of them finds Maggie and adopts her.
But, I also know of other dogs who came from Maggie's puppy mill and who are now lost because someone did not understand the flight risk. I know of one that was sold on Craigslist because the adopter could not handle the dog they adopted (fortunately she ended up in the absolutely perfect home). And I know of another dog who now faces being returned, or euthanized, because the adopter was not told what she could expect adopting a puppy mill dog and she does not want to see her suffer.
Puppy mill dogs are special and they deserve a home and an adopter who gets it. I know from experience that adopting a mill dog can be one of the most rewarding experiences of one's life, but I also know the time, patience, work and commitment are needed to help them thrive. Not everyone is cut out to for that kind of work, and that is okay, but I want Maggie's adopters to understand the commitment involved and have the knowledge and support needed to ensure that they, and their dog, are successful.
Maggie (and I) are lucky Minnesota Sheltie Rescue (MNSR) gets it. I know they will make sure that Maggie lands in a home with an adopter who gets it too. They will make sure it is someone who understands the special needs of a puppy mill dog. They will also make sure the adopter is educated on flight risk and how to keep them safe. They will offer support and guidance, as needed, and will ensure that the adopter knows of the resources available to them (like Shy Sheltie Classes) and their dog. Maggie has what she needs to back her, and her adopter, up when the time comes and she is ready for her new home.
Not all puppy mill dogs have that chance. Not all rescues and shelters provide adopters of puppy mill dogs with the support and information they need to be able to help their dogs. I hope this will change with time. Debbie Jacobs, of FearfulDogs.com, just wrote about this in her blog post, "Should this dog be up for adoption?"
On Monday, I will be attending a Speaker's Forum hosted by Animal Folks. The speaker is one of the premier experts on puppy mill dogs and the mental and emotional impacts puppy mills have on them. The speaker, Dr. Frank McMillan, is a board-certified specialist in veterinary internal medicine and the director of well-being studies at Best Friends Animal Society (Utah). I am really excited to hear him speak, but I am also excited that both rescue groups and veterinarians will have a chance to learn more about the trauma these dogs suffer and how we can help them when they come into our care. It is my greatest hope that in the future puppy mill dogs will go into homes that are ready for them, and that they too, are ready for their new home.
I plan to share more about Dr. McMillan's speech on my blog at a future date, and hopefully, some additional info on how we can all help puppy mill dogs.
In the meantime, here is the latest Maggie video. I share it with you to show you where Maggie is at when it comes to doorways. While Maggie has made great progress, she is still a very scared dog. She had been going through the door on her own all summer long, but then the snow came and she got spooked. Since then she has had a hard time with it again.
I have been using the long line to catch her. Without it I would not have a chance . I have been outside as long as 40 minutes, just trying to herd her inside. With the long line, she is less fearful and follows me inside easily. I reward her with treats immediately so that she knows going inside means good things. I am hoping that we can work more on doorways so she feels safe enough to go through them again. Cross your fingers!

Favorite Video Friday – You cannot keep a Golden Retriever from food
I shared this week's video on my Facebook page about a month or two ago. At that time, it had not been uploaded to YouTube, so I could not share it here (believe me! I tried!).
It doesn't matter how many times I watch it, I still laugh myself silly. I guarantee you will too. And if you have a Lab or a Golden Retriever or a Beagle, I suspect you will laugh even harder. I doubt my Lab, Daisy, could run the gauntlet and not stop at every station.
Watch and laugh. :)

Two of Australia's finest fast bowlers, Glenn McGrath and Charlie Turner, will become the newest additions to the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame on Monday. Turner and McGrath represented Australia a century apart but will together be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the Allan Border Medal ceremony in Melbourne, bringing the number of inductees to 37.
The nomination of McGrath follows last year's induction of his long-time team-mate Shane Warne, who bowed out from Test cricket alongside McGrath during the Sydney Ashes Test in the first week of 2007. The inaugural winner of the Allan Border Medal in 2000, McGrath took 563 Test wickets at 21.64 as well as 381 wickets at 22.02 in one-day internationals, and was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in December last year.
"I'm very humbled but it's a huge honour," McGrath said. "I grew up in the country watching cricket and loving cricket from a young age and the thought of one day playing for Australia was such a dream.
"To achieve that, but then to be lucky enough to have played for as long as I did in an amazing era, and now to be inducted into the Hall of Fame is a huge honour. To be alongside some of my heroes growing up, guys like Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh, the Chappells, there are some incredible names there. To think that my name is alongside those is pretty amazing."
Just as McGrath was the pre-eminent Australian fast bowler of his era, Turner was Australia's leading fast man during his international career, which spanned the years 1887 to 1895. Turner, known as the "Terror", was the natural successor to Fred Spofforth, whose final Test was Turner's debut, and in 17 Tests Turner collected 101 wickets at the average of 16.53.
He remains the equal second-fastest man to the 100-wicket milestone in Tests; among Australians, only Clarrie Grimmett can match Turner's record of reaching the mark in 17 matches. Turner, who played for New South Wales, also had a remarkable first-class record of 993 wickets at 14.25.
"Glenn McGrath and Charlie Turner were each the outstanding Australian fast bowler of their era," David Crow, the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame chairman, said. "Despite careers more than a century apart, they had much in common. Tall, right-arm fast bowlers, both men hailed from country New South Wales. Their superb records demonstrate the dominance each had over opposition batsmen over a prolonged period."
The Hall of Fame began in 1996 with the induction of ten players and a further 27 have been added in the years since.
Hall of Fame inductees Warwick Armstrong, Richie Benaud, John Blackham, Allan Border, Sir Donald Bradman, Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell, Alan Davidson, George Giffen, Clarrie Grimmett, Neil Harvey, Lindsay Hassett, Ian Healy, Clem Hill, Bill Lawry, Dennis Lillee, Ray Lindwall, Charles Macartney, Rod Marsh, Stan McCabe, Glenn McGrath, Graham McKenzie, Keith Miller, Arthur Morris, Monty Noble, Bill O'Reilly, Bill Ponsford, Bob Simpson, Fred Spofforth, Mark Taylor, Hugh Trumble, Victor Trumper, Charlie Turner, Doug Walters, Shane Warne, Steve Waugh, Bill Woodfull.

Bidders on jail project question selection process
Published: June 28,2011
Tags: construction, county government, jails, prisons
DESOTO COUNTY — Two losing bidders on a contract to build a new jail in DeSoto County contend the bidding process was unfair.
The board of supervisors Monday received the final draft of the contract with Oklahoma-based Flintco. The company submitted a $13.8-million construction bid. Supervisors said they will consider it at the supervisors' next meeting July 5. Flintco's bid was cited as the "lowest and best" of seven bids opened in May.
The Commercial Appeal reports that the decision has generated complaints from at least two unsuccessful Mississippi bidders: Murphy & Sons of Southaven, which bid $13.6 million; and Panola Construction, at $13.7 million.
Murphy has complained about specification requiring bidders to have built at least two jails costing $8 million or more within the past five years.
County officials said the qualifications "were on the first page" of the specifications and that Murphy failed to raise questions before the cutoff period.
Also, officials contend, to alter the specifications or extend the question period would be unfair and invite legal action from contractors who didn't bid or raise issues based on the guidelines and deadlines.
"This facility has to hold up for 30-40 years and we do not think it is right to gamble with taxpayer money," said county administrator Michael Garriga said. "We have a facilities and maintenance budget in excess of $1 million per year, and it's growing. If the jail is built correctly on the front end, then it saves the taxpayers on the back end. The new jail … is going to be a highly technical facility with specialized security systems."
The new jail will be built on 51.3 acres just south of Hernando.
Supervisor Bill Russell said the panel "would like nothing better than to keep the contract in Mississippi, but we're an ethical board and we're not going to break the law for anybody."
Garriga said the gap between Murphy's bid and Flintco's is about "2 percent of the total contract." He said that "based on state law and attorney general's opinions, the county is well within its legal right to ask for reasonable experience" on a construction bid.

Optimization the production of extracellular lipase in culture of Bacillus cereus has been investigated. From 10 samples of diesel fuel polluted soil it was found that 3 samples was positive for the presence of B. cereus. Lipase production by B. cereus isolated from diesel fuel polluted soil was investigated and optimized. The enzyme production was increased with increasing time and maximum enzyme activity was obtained after 72 hrs of incubation. Effect of pH and temperature indicated that, the lipase production was maximum at pH 8.0 (60.2 U/ml) and at 35°C (55.25 U/ml). The lipase production was optimized in shake flask experiments. With a selected carbon sources, maltose (65.5 U/mL) and nitrogen source, peptone (66.25 U/mL) was suitable substrates for accelerating lipase production. The present study indicates that the various factors influenced enzyme production by the bacteria, it appears that the nature of the supplements had significantly influenced on the produc
Burkholderia cepacia is a gram negative bacilli usually isolated from persons with genetic lung diseases such as Cystic fibrosis. It was discovered as a plant pathogen but later researchers have found it to be a notorious pathogen in humans. It is also a nosocomial pathogen which contaminates equipment and even disinfectants. In the other end of the spectrum, research suggests that these organisms maybe used as bio diesel and also as pesticides and fertilizers. This review of literature gives an idea of the organism and the gateway it opens for further research with a special note on the evolution of this genus as a nosocomial infection in Neonates.
Biodiesel refers to a vegetable oil- or animal fat-based diesel fuel consisting of long chain alkyl (methyl, propyl or ethyl) esters. Biodiesel is typically made by chemically reacting lipids with an alcohol. Biodiesel is meant to be used in standard diesel engines and is thus distinct from the vegetable oils. Biodiesel can be used alone, or blended with diesel. Biodiesel, a promising substitute as an alternative fuel has gained significant attention due to the predicted shortness of conventional fuels and environmental concern. The utilization of liquid fuels such as biodiesel produced from Jatropha oil by transesterification process represents one of the most promising options for the use of conventional fossil fuels.

My complaints started beginning year three the unit gave a dirty oil sample; this was questioned but disregarded by mechanics as an oversensitive sample machine. Truck then blew both turbos; this was covered under warranty and diagnosed as the culprit for oil sample. Three days later truck began to smoke considerably, brought unit back in and told engine was dusted due to a faulty CGI pipe which was a freightliner part not covered by their engine or exhaust warranty. The pipe had a hole and had taken in dirt which first caused turbo failure and the engine failure.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.
