modulators and their lighting regulations.
The Federal Law authorizing modulators; California Law; other States...

The human eye
and brain; how light bursts and modulated light affects us:
We humans have some characteristics that are common with other primates. Some of our responses, particularly to color and light bursts, are relatively unique.
Simplified, here are some things to know. Since you likely already 'know' that a headlight modulator causes 'attention-grabbing' by other humans, and I WANT you to READ this...I will put the section on bursts, first:
It has been known for a very long time that our eye/brain response to light bursts are peculiar. Some of today's knowledge about this subject was known by such as Augustin Fresnel, who invented the Fresnel Lens (which, when rotated, was used in seaside lighthouses up until perhaps the mid-20th century). Fresnel found that using a lot of prisms in such a position as to result in a collimated radial light beam, would produce a beam of light that could be seen by mariners at a great distance. NOTE that lighthouses had been in use for a very long time, long before there were electric powered lamps.
UNfortunately, Fresnel did NOT know about the Broca-Sulzer
Broca and Sulzer determined that short pulses of light of a CERTAIN DURATION will appear BRIGHTER than if the pulses lasted longer in time (or, for that matter, continuously!). There is much more to Broca-Sulzer, but here is what is important, on a practical basis, assuming a quite modest or brighter light source:
If the light duration is over 0.150 second, the light burst only marginally appears brighter than a continuous light. The effect is more if the light is quite bright. If the light duration is around 0.044 second, a light of maybe 150 to a few hundred Lux, will appear VERY much brighter than a continuous light.
Now, I will guess here that some of you will immediately say something like: "Well, bright light causes the eye's pupil to contract, to protect the eye, so a short burst will not last long enough for the pupil to change size". You'd be only partially correct.
Broca and Sulzer's work was published in 1902. Similar work was done by Blondel and Rey in 1911.
The bottom-line here is that if you want a light to attract attention, without having it monstrously bright, one method is to have the light come in short bursts, lasting on the order of 0.030 second to maybe 0.200 second.
Thus, a headlight with a short burst of light, will be more visible to others, than one running continuously yet of considerably higher power.
Think about that. On a practical basis, when you WANT your headlight to be visible by oncoming traffic, perhaps so they do not turn left in front of you, you can use a modulated headlight beam of the 'right' characteristics, and it will be MORE attention-getting than a rather substantially more powerful headlight. Re-READ that!
This is NOT the only strange effect of light on humans (besides resetting our Circadian clocks, particularly BLUE light, etc.).
If the light is in continuous pulses of a certain width (time) and within a certain narrow range of pulse RATES, it will 'attract' even more attention from the human brain. Some ascribe this sensitivity to such as the brain's alpha rhythms....but this is only one explanation of several.
The Federal Law that
allows headlight modulators on motorcycles is a mixture of mostly
science, and some practicality....in that INCANDESCENT headlight
lamps (this includes Halogen's like the H4) can NOT physically have their ACTUAL LIGHT OUTPUT decrease to
anywhere's near zero at the modulating RATE that is best to
attract attention by the human brain. This is due to the hot
filament being unable to cool fast enough during the OFF period,
and heat up fast enough for the ON period. Thus, the Federal
requirements are a compromise, although a good one.
For a fuller explanation, yet not complicated to understand, read
the Federal Law, below.
HID: HID headlights are already fairly common. They don't turn on and off instantaneously. They are efficient, however, and if properly focused and shaped, the beams can be very good for bikers. UNfortunately, the KITS on the market are compromises. HID lights are much more difficult to modulate, due to arc re-establishment, and my guess is that we won't see HID headlights being modulated on motorcycles.
LED: By mid-2012 we were already seeing some cars with LED headlights appearing in the highest priced cars. LED lights can be turned on and off just about instantaneously. Thus, an LED modulated headlight, with a PROPERLY DESIGNED modulator might well be PERFECT for bikers. I have experimented with some modulators, and LED lamps, and find that all the modulators worked wonderfully with the LED lamps, better than even with Halogen H4 types!
The way the Federal Law
is written, I believe that modulated LED headlights will
comply with the Law, as written, IF they comply with this: "The lowest intensity at any test point shall be not less than 17
of the maximum intensity measured at the same point". On a practical basis it matters little, if that is complied with or not. The headlight could be fully turned off for its lowest intensity, as a practicality.
What will happen is that the LED modulators will be built to do this...or, the law will be changed...or both, or the modulators that do not comply will simply get away with not complying, as no one will much care. Section (f) will be, perhaps, changed, or, assumed to mean that it is only for incandescent lamps.
preliminary tests have been done on this effect, using various
'colors' of LED light. They show an increased recognition
Side note: Since 1979, most...but not all motorcycles sold... have had a headlight ON function when the ignition is on. This was done by most manufacturer's due to some States having laws that said that the headlight must be on.
To the best of my knowledge Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards do not 'require' daytime headlamps on
Reference: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/cfr_2004/octqtr/49cfr571.108.htm This is the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, usually just shown as FMVSS 108.
Note: this long hard-to-read article has a chart section, well-buried, that is JUST for MOTORCYCLES. In this chart the Federal Government has SPECIFIED maximum brightness of your headlight, in Candelas.
I mention this, as many of you have installed over-size headlights. Of course, few are ever stopped for such.
NOTE that in Canada, there is also a
similar document, but it is referred to as CMVSS 108, and it
DOES require daytime lamps on bikes, from 1/1/90 (If I
remember correctly).
Some States do require daytime running headlamps, and new production, from 1/1/90, at least was encouraged, Federally, therefore motorcycle manufacturers began equipping all motorcycles built for sale in the U.S. with them. (Here's another website describing current federal regulations, regarding motorcycle lighting, including headlamp modulating devices) http://calcoast-itl.com/assets/Motorcycles%20&%20Motor%20Driven%20Cycles%20-%20Lighting.pdf
WAIS Document Retrieval [Code of Federal Regulations]
[Title 49, Volume 5]
[Revised as of October 1, 2001]
From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access
PART 571--FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS--Table of Contents
Subpart B--Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
Sec. 571.108 Standard No. 108; Lamps, reflective devices, and associated
S7.9.4 Motorcycle headlamp modulation system.
S188.8.131.52 A headlamp on a motorcycle may be wired to modulate either the upper
beam or the lower beam from its maximum intensity to a lesser intensity,
provided that:
(a) The rate of modulation shall be 240 <plus-minus> 40 cycles per minute.
(b) The headlamp shall be operated at maximum power for 50 to 70 percent of
each cycle.
(c) The lowest intensity at any test point shall be not less than 17 percent
of the maximum intensity measured at the same point.
(d) The modulator switch shall be wired in the power lead of the beam
filament being modulated and not in the ground side of the circuit.
(e) Means shall be provided so that both the lower beam and upper beam
remain operable in the event of a modulator failure.
(f) The system shall include a sensor mounted with the axis of its sensing
element perpendicular to a horizontal plane. Headlamp modulation shall cease
whenever the level of light emitted by a tungsten filament light operating at
3000 deg. Kelvin is either less than 270 lux (25 foot-candles) of direct light
for upward pointing sensors or less than 60 lux (5.6 foot-candles) of reflected
light for downward pointing sensors. The light is measured by a silicon cell
type light meter that is located at the sensor and pointing in the same
direction as the sensor. A Kodak Gray Card (Kodak R-27) is placed at ground
level to simulate the road surface in testing downward pointing sensors.
(g) When tested in accordance with the test profile shown in Figure 9, the
voltage drop across the modulator when the lamp is on at all test conditions for
12 volt systems and 6 volt systems shall not be greater than .45 volt. The
modulator shall meet all the provisions of the standard after completion of the
test profile shown in Figure 9.
(h) Means shall be provided so that both the lower and upper beam function
at design voltage when the headlamp control switch is in either the lower or
upper beam position when the modulator is off.
S188.8.131.52(a) Each motorcycle headlamp modulator not intended as original
equipment, or its container, shall be labeled with the maximum wattage, and the
minimum wattage appropriate for its use. Additionally, each such modulator shall
comply with S184.108.40.206 (a) through (g) when connected to a headlamp of the maximum
rated power and a headlamp of the minimum rated power, and shall provide means
so that the modulated beam functions at design voltage when the modulator is
(b) Instructions, with a diagram, shall be provided for mounting the light
sensor including location on the motorcycle, distance above the road surface,
and orientation with respect to the light.
Here is an easy to read page on NHTSA use of modulators,
lighting, etc:
>>>>>Note that NHTSA says that the federal law overrides any State law.
(4) Article IV, section 2, of the U.S. Constitution is held to say that Federal Law is superior to and overrides State Law, when they conflict.
California law is very brief.
Federal Law will supersede California law on Federal Highways,
and on highways/roads that were paid for in part or wholly
by federal funds. I believe that Federal Law
will supersede any State's Law, on a practical basis, if not an
absolute basis, on any
road in the State, that has had Federal money involved, or not.
Knowing the broad brush law in
YOUR home State may be of some help, if ever a question on modulators.
You can check YOUR State's laws, but I will bet that any Court
will hold that the Federal law applies.
California Vehicle Code that allows motorcycles to have modulators is 25251.2. It specifies that the UPPER beam is to be modulated (note that Federal law allows either). California Law provides only that the modulation is between a higher and a lower brightness, at a 200-280 rate, and not to be used in darkness. This is basically like the federal law...except that California has NONE of the fancy specifications from (a) onwards, as in the federal law, in (2), above.
OFFICIAL California Vehicle Code definition of DARKNESS is in section 280 of the California Vehicle Code. Darkness is defined as 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise; or at any other time visibility is not sufficient to clearly....discern....any person or vehicle on the highway (yes, they do say highway), at 1000 feet. They do NOT specify what sunrise and sunset is, at least in that section.

I always thought I was the only 'bad daughter' in this way in the world. I just thought I was the black sheep of the family who got blamed for everything. After many Dr Phil episodes I have come to understand my now late mother, yet still thought I was somehow to blame for the bad relationship we had. Now my family and I are living with my father and he is the one just like this mother! I see why my mother was like she was. I am finally able to realise that nothing I do or say will ever be enough. And yes krypto33 I too am sad that he will never change. Yet I am sooo happy to know that I can now START at 47 living MY life without the guilt that pervades every moment of my relationship with him. Maybe when I am not feeling guiltyabout everything I say or do and second guess myself constantly against his 'perfect' barometer, things might be better between us. There is always hope.

The way he spoke about finding her religious counselling and a "gift of love" was such a great way to approach someone so set in their ways. I would have laughed if I was in your situation and been unable to think of a way to say she needs psychological help. I hope she is willing and able to change and allow her family some peace in their lives. I remember when my mother would call me and talk non stop for 3hrs at a time (I would go give my daughter a bath and come back and she never realised). Most times tact is what's needed so you and your family can have a life that isn't centred around one person. Clap clap clap Dr Phil for your patience, tact and diplomacy.

The mother reminded me of Vicky Pollard from the TV series "Little Britain", every time she was confronted with her own behaviour she started fast talking and blaming other people (so fast she even forgot what she was about to say several times and went off on a tangent). Example: "I think, she's a good mother BUT she and Gabriel need counselling....etc etc tangent, however (take a breath)..etc etc but I would like to see my grandchildren grow up in a home that's solid...3 minutes of speech later...". Just listening to her talking was exhausting without having her in my life. I'd hang up on her too since she only likes the sound of her OWN voice. Look after your kids and if she wants to see them, stick around so they don't turn out with ADHD like her.

Well, I totally agree that I did not feel Dr. Phil dealt with that situation. The woman obviously has mental problems - and I think he needed to focus more on the son dealing with or just cutting the ties with her. They feel they cannot trust her with the grandchildren which after hearing her rambles - I understand why. She definitely needs some mental health help. And I don't feel that you did any one a favor by not sharing some of that on the show. It just looked like you passed over her. The son and his wife were distraught over her actions and personality. It wasn't all fear of feeling abandoned or alone. She definitely has mental problems. So Dr. Phil where were you on this? That is the part I wanted to hear.
Replied By: d_julia on Jan 4, 2013, 9:12AM
I doubt it will happen, but his "mother" needs some very serious psychiaatric help. She can't follow a single thought, conversation, topic. She blames everybody else for her problems. She either denies or downplays her erratic, instrusive, sometimes criminal behavior. She is hyper religious and seemingly has no boundaries with her religiosity. I doubt that she will accept psychiatric help because she wants to blame others for her behavior. Obviously, her son and his wife? have their own problems. I hope that that will also seek some marriage//relationship counseling for themselves.

This is my first post on the Dr. Phil community board. This whole story reminds me so much of my own mother's behavior. Sometimes I feel like I can't take anymore! Where it is very comforting to know I am not alone with an "overly religious mom," I feel such sadness that my mom will never change. It has done some damage on me- this I know. I feel resentful when she tells me I am going to hell or my siblings and I will be "left behind" when Jesus comes to take his people home. I don't understand why any mother would tell her child that. I lived with this 43 yrs and it continues to be my biggest fear in life. On the other hand, my mother can be a wonderful person with the best of intentions. She gave me everything I ever wanted or needed. She did the same for my brother and sister. I am now her care taker and wish to give back all that she has done for me, but it's getting to be stressful. I don't understand religion. I don't understand why it grabs hold of some folks and turns them into a close minded, judgemental, raving lunatic???
Replied By: forensic_girl on Jan 2, 2013, 11:01PM
This woman is a reminder that I need to thank God again today and every day that my mother in law is the wonderful woman that she is. I wish that all daughters in law have the blessings that I do with my husband's mother. This woman seems to be narcissistic, terrified of abandonment and loss of control, and dealing with impulse control problems. I admire the son and his wife for attempting to work on a relationship with her; they both have the patience of Job. A person's relationship with their God can be a beautiful thing- a guide and inspiration- but it should never be a weapon against family. A person cannot be forced into spirituality, a person can only come to it at his or her own time. I do hope that this couple and their children find peace, with or without her.

Last week I flew to New York City for The Wedding Party Bridal Show, put on by The Wedding Library along with Martha Stewart Weddings. I met up with a few of my colleagues from the Wedding Planners Institute of Canada and we hit up the bridal show V.I.P. style!
{our gold VIP wristbands!}
The event was held at the gorgeous New York Palace hotel in Manhattan. The atmosphere and grandeur of the foyer totally put you in the wedding spirit!
While waiting in line to register (with almost 600 other attendees!), we were treated to some classical music from a string trio…and of course I had to grab a photo of myself with my registration bag!
When the time arrived for the Bridal Show to start, the doors opened to the grand ballroom where we were to take our seats for a presentation by Darcy Miller, editorial director of Martha Stewart Weddings and a Q & A by the celebrity panel. Once inside the ballroom, we were treated to another musical performance. This time it was an amazing "revivalist jazz" band called Carte Blanche, complete in period costume. (Personally, I LOVED them! I felt like I was an a 1920s Paris speak-easy!)
The celebrity panel consisted of: (from left to right) Darcy Miller (editorial director for Martha Stewart Weddings), Amsale Aberra (Bridal Fashion Designer), Mindy Weiss (Celebrity Wedding and Event Planner), Matthew Robbins (Event Designer), Peter Callahan (Celebrity Event Caterer), and Sylvia Weinstock (Celebrity Cake Designer).
After the Q & A, we were able to roam around the exhibitor halls. While wandering around, I was able to snap some photos of some of the celebrity vendors, close-up:

If Long Island Rail Road riders are pleased there's no strike, so is Governor Andrew Cuomo, as a labor dispute could have disrupted his hope for a re-election blowout. While the election is still three-and-a-half months away, the Democrat is going to have a more relaxing summer weekend with the labor dispute behind him. NY1's Josh Robin filed the following report.
You could say the leaders of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and unions looked shell-shocked.
The man who brought them together? He had a smile as wide as the Long Island Expressway.
"There could have been a lot more agita next week," said Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo was again the savior from possible transit strikes. Exactly three months ago, it was a deal with subway and bus workers. Now, it's the nation's busiest commuter railroad.
"Cuomo turned out to be the guy who knows how to get things done," said Mitchell Moss, who heads the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation.
Done. Perhaps, reluctantly. Last week, the governor said Congress should deal with it.Congress punted.
On Tuesday, Cuomo didn't appear sympathetic.
"We've gone through other disasters," he said. "This is not a disaster. A real pain, maybe."
That changed Wednesday. A top aide said it became clear a strike was happening.
Of note, the LIRR serves areas that can make or break statewide elections.
On Wednesday, Cuomo worked the phones.
"I was too bleary-eyed to actually look at the watch, but it was late," he said.
There was still no handshake Thursday morning. Cuomo summoned both sides to his offices.
At a seafood restaurant, it was all tied up. The governor ordered the fish. No champagne yet. He still had to get the signature before the cameras.
Cuomo isn't only drawing praise for reaching a deal. The terms of the deal are also drawing notice. That's because for the first time, Long Island Rail Road employees will start to pay part of their health care costs.
Moss doesn't see union voters faulting Cuomo.
"There's now a widespread recognition that everyone has to pay a portion of their health care costs, even workers on the Long Island Rail Road," Moss said.
Republican nominee Rob Astorino said there are too many unanswered questions.
One city resident, though, is certainly pleased. Mayor Bill de Blasio can jet to an Italian vacation without a strike back home.
Ever the New York booster, Cuomo is rafting in the Adirondacks this weekend.

Berkman Center, 23 Everett Street, second floor
RSVP required for those attending in person (email@example.com)
This event will be webcast live at 12:30 pm ET and archived on our site shortly after.
The DIY Book Scanner community (founded in June 2009) has produced a diverse ecosystem of book scanning hardware and software to address a wide range of human needs, both domestically and internationally. Daniel will motivate these efforts with case studies from the community, and hope to foster discussion on the future of digital books in light of these unmet needs.
Daniel will be bringing and demonstrating how scanner works at this lunch talk.
Daniel Reetz is an artist and a Ph.D student studying visual
neuroscience. Since 2003 He has been employed as an artist and as a
researcher at the intersection of those interests, working on NIH, NSF,
and US D.o.Ed funded projects.
He recently developed a high-speed book scanning system using open source technology, cheap cameras, and garbage. This free and open scanner design won the Epilog Grand Challenge, has been featured in Wired, and is now being improved and instantiated by a group of over 300 DIY'ers who believe that the future of digital books is too important to be decided solely by corporate interests...

Artward BoundTHE REGION'S FIRST ART-INTEGRATED ACADEMIC COLLEGE PREPARATORY PROGRAM.
Artward Bound is a four-year college access program in the visual arts. At home on MassArt's campus, Artward Bound prepares youth in 8th - 12th grades with the artistic and academic skills needed for admission to and success at an art/design college or other post-secondary institution. Artward Bound balances artistic development with academic progress to establish confidence in education.
Who We Are
Artward Bound is designed for underserved, potential first-generation students who live and attend schools in Boston. Student-artists enrolled in the program are expected to participate through their senior year of high school. While enrolled in Artward Bound, student-artists have access to MassArt materials, facilities, and youth programs at no cost. A commitment to Artward Bound allows student-artists to gain confidence through constant access to artistic people and surroundings, and dependable materials. Familiarity with peers and mentors eases key transitions through high school and into college, and enhances daily advancement in personal, intellectual, professional, and creative growth.
Artistically, student-artists have opportunities to work with a variety of media, and build foundational understanding of the art world and how their art relates to it, while gaining insights into possible careers in the arts.
Academically, students-artists develop reading, writing, and math skills, receive support in completing their homework, and improve work and study skills. English language arts and math skills are applied in the development of art projects.
Socially, student-artists learn financial literacy and responsibility, develop leadership skills, and expand global, cultural, interpersonal and self-awareness. Development of an improved sense of purpose and preparation is a focus. Program projects respond to contemporary issues and also increase student-artists' understanding of factors that impact life and community.
Personally, mentorship experiences with artists, academic tutors, professionals, and MassArt students offer models for growth as an artists, students, and global citizens.
Shared Values
- We affirm the inherent value of the arts as a life-enhancing force.
- We recognize the power of art and design in many spheres of public life.
- We believe that academic excellence is fundamental to postsecondary success in the visual arts.
- We respect the roles and views of all members of our community.
- We cultivate a sense of professionalism towards our field, and towards society as a whole.
- We apply our scholastic and artistic efforts to serve the wider community and improve the well-being of society.
- We challenge ourselves and each other to develop our talents to the highest potential.
- We believe that all students have potential to excel academically and artistically.
- We look closely at the form and content of art, both our own and others, to seek to understand it in historical, social, and global contexts.
Priorities and Commitments
- We develop arts-integrated projects that offer multiple entry points of development for students with a variety of learning styles and abilities.
- We create an environment that is conducive to risk-taking, through building a community of trust.
- We nurture the development of student-artists as individuals, through opportunities to meet their academic, artistic, and college readiness goals.
- We support and encourage students in meeting and exceeding expectations and standards in arts, academia, and life beyond Artward Bound.
- We expose students to an array of art in various contexts and believe that this is fundamental for student-artists' understanding of the art world.

Kansas Lt. Gov. Dr. Jeffrey W. Colyer, Overland Park, plans to open his office at the RMH Medical Arts Building, 1402 S. Main St., Ottawa, facility in November, Brenda Pfizenmaier, a hospital spokeswoman, said Wednesday. Few details were available Wednesday about Colyer's new alliance with the hospital, 1301 S. Main St., Ottawa.
Colyer was traveling Wednesday and was unavailable for comment. Larry Felix, the hospital's chief executive officer, also could not be reached Wednesday. But Pfizenmaier confirmed the plan is for Colyer to expand his practice to Ottawa next month. Residents will have an opportunity to meet Colyer during a reception 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 13 in the hospital's conference room.
Republicans Gov. Sam Brownback and Colyer were elected to their gubernatorial positions in 2010.
Ransom Memorial Hospital's new plastic surgery clinic plans to offer such services as minimally invasive facelift, facial reconstruction, body contouring, breast reconstruction after mastectomy, smart liposuction, skin cancer treatment, breast enhancement, hand reconstruction, cellulite treatment, scar revision and tummy tuck, according to hospital officials Wednesday.

Global protests vs China begin
A group of Filipinos in the United States on Friday called on US lawmakers to revive House Resolution 352, the measure expressing support of the American government for a peaceful resolution of the maritime territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
Launched in conjunction with anti-China protest in Washington DC, Eric Lachica, one of the protest organizers, said they talked to some officials in Capitol Hill, including California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, to revive the resolution.
Lachica indicated that the protest is only a preliminary step to show the unity of the Filipinos all over the world against China's interference in the Philippines.
Meanwhile, in the midst of intensifying tensions between the Philippines and China in the West Philippine Sea, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) asked Filipino-Chinese businessmen to invest in the "offshore energy exploration projects", including the Reed Bank in Palawan province.
In a statement, DFA-Ocean head Concerns Office Assistant Secretary Gilberto Asuque invited the Filipino-Chinese businessmen to invest in such projects.
The Reed Bank is among the disputed territories of the Philippines and China.
In Malacañang, Palace officials strongly denied that the Philippine government is behind the anti-China rallies.
Presidential Spokesman said Edwin Lacierda said the government has no hands in the protest actions launched by a group of patriotic Filipinos.
According to Lacierda, the government recognizes the right to free expression and self-organization.
Malacañang assured the security of employees of the Chinese Embassy in Manila.

Cocoon food grower wins Electrolux Design Contest
There comes a time in every writer's life when he or she is faced with a conundrum: how to disarm an unwanted double entendre. And this, campers, is the problem I face with last night's victor of the Electrolux Design Contest. The Cocoon cooker (okay so far) is a great example of forward-thinking tech (yuh, still good) — a food generator (uh-huh) that *cough* lets you grow your own meat.
See? There's nothing I can do to make that last phrase sound acceptable. The brains behind this idea — nothing that Trekkies haven't fantasized about yet — is a Swede of the non-boilable or mashable type who goes by the name of Rickard Hederstierna. He thinks that the Cocoon could make food shortages a thing of the past. "This will create 100 per cent pure meat without the need for animals to be killed and with no risk of contamination," said the 27-year-old. "It will change everything."
The design, described as "controversial" by one of the judges, is made of glass, and works by cooking pre-mixed packets of muscle cells, oxygen and nutrients. I know, it sounds just too oddball to be true — until you discover what future invention the Cocoon beat to win the contest: a fridge that teleports food from around the world. Now, teleport yourself below the jump to see a video.

Eric Beach, a young Costa Mesa businessman and consultant who's already racked up an impressive political resume, was today named Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's California finance chairman. Beach could prove key in Gingrich's effort to gear up his fundraising and organization.
Gingrich is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination in national polls, but lags behind Mitt Romney in the key categories of organization and fundraising. California is fertile ground for fundraising by both parties, and the state's Democratic leanings will play little role in the primary. If the nominee has not been determined by the state's June primary, California could be decisive.
Beach, 34, has been involved with a broad ideological range of Republican candidates and causes, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Tea Party Express. He founded the Newport Beach-based Frontline Strategies, a political and corporate communications firm, and is CEO of the Costa Mesa-based Suntrack Solar.
"I'm committed to helping Newt Gingrich deliver his winning message across the country," Beach said in a news release. "My first priority will be to help Gingrich build a strong and respected team of finance chairs across California and take our organization to the next level."
Beach's political resume includes:

Part of prayer for Maundy Thursday Service at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Poole, Dorset
Lord Jesus, we humbly gather here in gratitude and wonder for that great and amazing gift that you gave to us, then and now and forever. We praise you that we can come to you with our thanks and fears, our concerns and our doubts; that you always hear; that you always respond in your way. We stand in awe of your never ending giving of all we need; all through our lives; and for the greatest gift of unconditional love. Be with us now during this Holy festival, that we may be drawn closer to you; that we may come to know you better. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Lord Jesus, we pray for our world and for all the people in it. That all may seek and find you; from the highest to the lowest – for we are all the same in your eyes. We pray for the weak and the sick; for the abused and the vulnerable – for each soul that suffers; that there might come a time of peace and love and joy for all. And we pray that you will guide and protect all who seek to make a difference in alleviating the suffering of mankind – all who take a stand against intolerance and cruelty – all who care in your name. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.
And Lord, we bring to you those in our own communities who need our prayers and your tender love and healing at this time………………………………….
Dear Lord – be with us all in this Parish at this time as we do our best to serve you and all our community of the two churches. Be especially with our leaders and all those who work voluntarily in our services and other events. We thank you for all those who serve, no matter how much or how little they give for all is known to you – that you have mercy on us all. And we thank you for the growing congregation here, that together they may become a beacon and a haven to all who suffer, all who seek to find comfort and solace.
Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.

When Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get away for the holidays, they really get away! For Christmas, the couple whisked their six children and assorted family members off to a luxury resort in the Caribbean, located on the private island Parrot Cay.
According to Page Six, the Jolie-Pitts are borrowing Donna Karan's home while the designer is away. Located right on the beach (obviously), the house has an infinity pool, a collection of African and Asian art, a dining pavilion imported from Bali and an open-air screening room for watching movies.
"[Brad and Angelina] have been loving the island because it is so secluded," says a source on the island. "Angelina's taken the kids to Karan's yoga spa. They've been running around the island with no care in the world, and relaxing."
Even though the island, located in Turks and Caicos, is isolated, the Jolie-Pitts are far from alone. There are reportedly 22 people in their vacation group, including Brad's parents, brother and sister and their respective families. It's also rumored that up to a dozen of their "guests" are nannies.
"A woman said she'd heard from a local that [Pitt and Jolie] were in town with two nannies per child," blogged a magazine editor who was vacationing nearby. "Count 'em, 12 nannies!" (Presumably they're working in shifts?)
Also spending Christmas on Parrot Cay (though not in the same house!) are Keith Richards, Christie Brinkley and Lost producer J.J. Abrams.

You should be focusing on getting into Heroics/ Heroic Dailies, and Raids. Even a "poorly geared" warlock can post 2.2k+. I know, less than Epic'd out, in Heroics my build(s) perform. So will yours.
The biggest disadvantage you have is gear based, and those 3 points in Affliction for Suppression. Although it helps you reach the hit needed to really perform, its not going to get better until you grab some more gear that has +Hit/+Crit on it. Remember for an 80 lock, destro spec'd, without Suppression maxed, your hit cap it 17%-ish. I believe a Simcrafter or Theorycrafter on EJ can give you the actual number, its close to 445.
Buy your badge gear, run in some 10man ToC groups, and 10man Onyxia. They aren't hard. And lastly, avoid gear nazis that think you need a specific gear score or set to raid. Know your class, and be chanted/inscripted/spec'd/gemmed/glyphed/arcanum'd into it, and know your rotation(s). Don't hesitate to get Focus Magic from a Mage or snag up a Boomkin for 5% crit increase.
Consider using this for gemming = Yellow: Reckless Ametrine (Orange Gem)
Red: Runed Cardinal Ruby
Blue: Purified Dreadstone (Purple Gem)
Plenty of other warlocks out there are rocking the dps charts. Just focus on learning how to spam your rotation and filler spells and you'll see the biggest differance. Good Luck!

DMT Services Pays $1.2 Million for Franklin Electric Building (Real Deals)
by Paul Gatling
Posted 12/7/2012 08:51 am
Updated 2 years ago
A vacant warehouse property and nearly 30 acres in Siloam Springs came off the market after a $1.2 million deal.
The Siloam Springs-based freight shipping and trucking company DMT Services Inc., led by president Dale Moten, bought the 240,589-SF building and acreage at 650 U.S. Highway 412.
The seller was Bluffton, Ind.-based Franklin Electric, which operated a plant at the site for almost 50 years before ceasing operations in April 2010.
Benefit Bank of Fort Smith financed the deal.
Butch Gurganus with Colliers International in Bentonville represented the seller.
DMT will relocate its current headquarters at 995 S. Lincoln St. to the new location after the first of the year.
The company also plans to lease part of the new space to additional tenants.
The property last appraised in 2011 for $5.82 million.
Lake Abode
A 4,675-SF remodeled home on a private peninsula in the Dornoch subdivision of Bella Vista has a new owner after an $850,000 sale.

I've been listening to the Steve Austin Show a lot lately, not just because Steve welcomes in some interesting people to chat with, not just because it's a hell of a podcast, but mainly because I'm a wrestling fan. That seems like a pretty obvious statement, being that I watch wrestling and I write for a couple wrestling websites, but it's something I feel needs stressing lately. You may be wondering exactly how I tie in my opening to the wrestling on television, well read on and it will become completely clear. If you've grown up watching the business then you likely love it and will continue to watch until the day one of you die, you or the business. The biggest problem I see lately though is that we have far too few REAL wrestling fans left in the world and way too many "fanboys" around these days. Believe me when I tell you there is a MASSIVE difference between the two descriptions.
The last couple weeks we've had promos from Daniel Bryan about the fact that he's a WRESTLER, not an entertainer. This is very true, and his statement about Cena not being a wrestler but being an entertainer could very well be shown to be true as well, to an extent. The thing with this feud is it's much deeper than just Daniel Bryan versus John Cena, if you're willing to look beyond the surface. In Daniel Bryan we have the "wrestler," the guy who will work ANYWHERE because this is a sport her loves, even if it's just in front of 50 people in a gym. Cena represents the "entertainer," the person who wants to be famous, and can't imagine lowering themselves to the level of anything other than a massive area show. Some would compare this to the battle between TNA and WWE fans over who has the better show, I don't quite see it that way but I can understand why some would.
Steve Austin has stated over and over on his show that he loves wrestling, plain and simple, it doesn't matter what company it is, he just flat out loves wrestling. On a previous show he admitted to something very few wrestling fan would admit to, something I can proudly admit to as well, he loved wrestling so much that he actually loved watching G.L.O.W., the Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling, back in the day. If you don't remember this, no matter if it's because of age or ignorance, you need to go back and watch some of the work. While it's admittedly cheesy at times, it's still WRESTLING. It had characters, something we are slowly starting to see return, and it had solid ring work. One of their stars, Tina Ferrari, became known to the WWE audience as Ivory, one of the most respected women in the business. If you love wrestling, you'll watch it, no matter where you can get it; this has been my way of thinking as long as I can remember.
My biggest complaint about the typical "wrestling fan" these days is that they're either casual fans or they're a fanboy who only watches one company and talks trash about anything else out there. The reason the Monday Night Wars worked out so well is because true wrestling fans were watching, they watched WCW and WWE, not one or the other. I can't count how many Monday nights were spent with my dad, my brother, or myself flipping between Raw and Nitro trying to make sure not to miss a moment of either, because we loved it that much. The reason this isn't happening with TNA and WWE is simple, the "fans" want to pick sides before the battle is able to begin. People either watch TNA and talk trash about everything WWE, or watch WWE and trash everything TNA related. I will admit I've not watched TNA a lot, but I am trying to pick up on them finally. The reason being, I'm finally embracing that deep rooted wrestling fan inside me once again. The reason I don't think you can compare this to Bryan versus Cena is because Daniel Bryan represents more than just "some other company," he represents the business as a whole. Cena represents TNA as well as WWE as the top companies, and how people either love or hate them, because it's "cool" to be on whichever side at that time.
The biggest credit for making me embrace the deep down wrestling fan, oddly enough, isn't really Steve Austin, Daniel Bryan, or even TNA. My biggest addiction lately is actually the developmental territory for WWE, the NXT product is actually very entertaining and it mixes the old school "high school gym" feel with the top level talent and production. After going to my first ever NXT Live event I haven't been able to stop talking about it, watching it, and I haven't been able to stop watching wrestling anywhere I can find it on the television dial. I remember borrowing the King of the Deathmatch tape from my friend Rob Nickell back in high school because I wanted to see Mick Foley, I wanted to see Terry Funk, I wanted to see Dan Severn, I just wanted to see wrestling in any way possible. I remember ordering a Japanese wrestling promotions Pay Per View one time so that we could watch wrestling one night when it wasn't on, my brother, my cousin, and I were so addicted we watched a PPV headlined by Dick Togo (of Kai En Tai fame), because we wanted to see a wrestling event on a Saturday night. I still remember sitting at the Chain of Lakes Complex for a local show headlined by one of my dad's old friends, with all of 50 people, because I LOVED WRESTLING.
It doesn't matter where it comes from, it doesn't matter who is in the ring, if there's a match and you're a fan you're damn well going to watch that match. Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam represents all of us who would watch 8 people compete because the rest of the workers didn't have approval by the State, and not complain one second about the situation. He's representing those of us who would watch a cheap local promotion on public television late night on a Friday or Saturday night because it meant one more hour of pro wrestling that week. I support Daniel Bryan because I support the business of pro wrestling as a whole. I respect the hell out of John Cena, as he does bust his ass day in and day out, but he represents the big brand, especially with his promo stating that he would never work again if he weren't a WWE Superstar. My call goes out tonight to all WRESTLING fans around the world, I don't care if it's TNA, I don't care if it's WWE, I don't care if it's ROH, I don't care WHAT company you're watching, just watch. Don't talk shit about one company over the other, just watch the product, support the workers, and enjoy every second of every match as if it were the last you'll get to watch. At the end of the day, no matter if it's TNA, WWE, WCW, ECW, ROH, NXT, FIP, MLW, or anything else, watch it, because you're either a WRESTLING fan, or you're not.

Date 2005-05-08 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe number of children who are placed in foster care with their grandmothers has increased drastically. The main reason for their foster care placement is the death of their mother or both their parents, mostly because of HIV/Aids-related diseases. However, welfare organisations in South Africa do not have a programme at their disposal to strengthen attachment between related single-parent foster mothers and their foster children. An exploratory study was therefore undertaken to develop such a programme. A twofold research approach, namely a positivist-humanistic or quantitative-qualitative approach, was followed to collect the data. The approach would serve the exploratory developmental research the best. The aim of the study was to develop an attachment programme for related, single-parent foster mothers and foster children, and implement and empirically test the programme. A quasi-experimental design, namely a comparative group pretest-posttest, was used to test the programme empirically. A collective case study was also used to observe and describe the respondents' subjective experiences of the programme. The study was guided by the following research question: What are the experiences of a group of related single-parent foster mothers and foster children during the implementation of the attachment programme? This question was based on the following hypothesis: If the programme is applied, the attachment of the related single-parent foster mothers and foster children will improve. The research question was answered and the hypothesis was confirmed. Altogether 50 mother-child pairs (middle-childhood children and grandmothers older than 50 years) who lived in Daveyton (Gauteng) and were clients of CMR Daveyton during 2004, participated in the research. The sample was divided into two equally large groups: a comparative group and an experimental group. The experimental group was supposed to have done a pretest, the programme and a posttest, but since several respondents withdrew from the research, only 22% (11 mother-child pairs) were subjected to the intervention. The comparative group did the pretest and the posttest only. Rothman and Thomas's model for intervention research was used to develop the attachment programme. The model is comprised out of six phases of which the first five phases have been used in this study. During the first phase the problem was analysed. During the second phase information (about attachment and foster care) was collected. During the third and fourth phases a theory-based attachment programme was drafted and tested to identify shortcomings. In the fifth phase the programme was fully implemented and its impact tested empirically. The quantitative data were collected with the aid of an existing attachment scale, the Marschak Interaction Method Behavior Rating System (MIMBRS). The MIMBRS was used to code the respondents' interactions during a structured interactional analysis (the Marschak Interactional Method or MIM). Since the MIM is mainly used among literate people, it was adapted for the purposes of this study for illiterate people. The results of the pretest and posttest demonstrated that the intervention was successful. The respondents who did the programme showed an improvement in all the variables that were measured.

KIA AutoSport Used Energy-saving Techniques Throughout The Design Of Their New Dealership, Including Energy-efficient Lighting Fixtures And Timers To Control When The Lights Are On. (Photo: Georgia Power)
When Monroe Lee, owner of KIA AutoSport, began design on a new KIA dealership in Columbus, Ga., he decided to investigate lighting solutions that delivered bright, high-quality light while helping to reduce energy consumption in one of the facility's key areas: dealer lots.
KIA AutoSport used energy-saving techniques throughout the design of their new dealership, including energy-efficient lighting fixtures and timers to control when the lights are on. (Photo: Georgia Power)
Lee met with Georgia Power, his electric utility partner, who recommended outdoor LED lighting to showcase Lee's 350-vehicle inventory.
Lee chose GE's Evolve™ LED Area Lights for their reduced energy consumption, long rated life and sleek design. Sixty-nine 202-watt Evolve LED Area Lights were mounted on 30 25-foot poles, with a combination of one, two and four fixture mountings per pole. GE's outdoor LED lighting fixtures at KIA AutoSport have a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4000K and a color rendering index (CRI) of 70.
"Georgia Power completed installation of the GE lighting in July 2012, and I have been amazed at the difference in the lighting compared to my other dealerships," Lee said. "The light is spread uniformly around the facility without the high and low spots you often see in parking lots."By more efficient use of the light they produce, LED lighting is designed to deliver significant reductions in energy usage and maintenance costs when compared to traditional metal halide high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures and other technologies. "When compared to a similarly sized dealership that I built five years ago using metal halide fixtures, it appears I'm saving between 20-33 percent on energy costs as a result of the LED lighting," Lee explained. "Plus, I have had no maintenance with the light fixtures since installation a year ago."

"Any unexplained phenomenon passes through three stages before the reality of it is accepted. During the first stage, it is considered laughable. During the second stage, it is adamantly opposed. Finally, during the third stage, it is accepted as self-evident." --Arthur Schopenhauer
Images - Ghosts and other anomalies
Every time Victor Zammit contacts PASC we feel his imminent urgency to work harder to improve our EVP and ITC techniques. I can personally testify that the beyond needs us because of the increase in having them wake me up in the middle of the night to communicate.
Here it is, in Victor's own words, some of the communications we had through the electronic mail:
"...In all my life I have never ever seen anything like what I am experiencing every week � people who have been dead for decades, just materialize, become solid and converse with us in a friendly way as if they were one of us on earth � even shaking hand with them.
These experiences are so advanced that people are just stunned about these experiences. We challenged the closed minded skeptics to duplicate what we are doing � even for the allurement of a sponsored half a million dollars � but these debunkers have kept as quiet as a mouse!!!!!!! I told them to put up or shut up when they said they could duplicate anything psychics can." --Victor Zammit
You said that, �My impression I get from them is that they want me to let others know about this field and how important it is for others to know what we do.�
That is spot on! There IS a great urgency to let the world know there is an afterlife. I came across information which was transmitted from the afterlife that there is a lot of pressure on the afterlife activity because too many people on earth do not know about the afterlife- and that takes too many spirits, using too much energy to assist these people on passing over.
For example, I was absolutely stunned that a survey taken in Russia, 90% of those surveyed did not accept there is an afterlife!! You can imagine the problems these people create on crossing over.
It is very important to spread the �light� � the afterlife knowledge on a global level." --Victor Zammit
