I own a lot of SS and HT pieces but this was my first sixth scale Iron Man and the detail is amazing! The face sculpt is so much better in person and the LEDs are extremely bright. The switches are a pain to get to though. Worth every penny!

In an era day when Congressional gridlock makes passage of legislation difficult, Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Deerfield) saw a unanimous vote on the second bill he has authored since he took office in 2013.
Schneider's Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act, created to curb the group's ability to commit terrorist acts and coauthored with Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), got a 404-0 vote Tuesday, July 22, in the House of Representatives and will move to the Senate for action there.
"This is a good step but we still need the Senate to pass this thing," Schneider said. "I will do anything I can to help."
Hezbollah is considered a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union, according to Schneider. It was responsible for bombing United States Marine barracks in 1983 in Lebanon, when 241 American troops were killed.
When members of the House debated the bill, there was praise for the bipartisan effort. Rep. Eliot Engel (D-NY), the senior member of his party on the Foreign Affairs Committee, complimented the work of Schneider and Meadows.
"It is an example of the bipartisan cooperation we have on the Foreign Affairs Committee so we speak with one voice and say we will never accept the scourge of terrorism," Engel said on the House floor. "Mr. Schneider and Mr. Meadows have made sure this is a responsible and targeted bill focused on cutting off Hezbollah's financial lifeline without unintended consequences."
Schneider should be getting a lot of help in the Senate. There are nearly enough cosponsors of this version of the legislation in the upper chamber to assure passage.
"(Sen.) Marco Rubio (R-FL) and (Sen.) Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) have joined us in the Senate and there are 47 cosponsors," Schneider said. "There could be more." One of them is Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Highland Park) who did respond to a request for a comment before deadline.
The bill sanctions foreign financial institutions dealing with Hezbollah, goes after television providers that broadcast the organization's station and seeks a determination whether the group can be considered a narcotics trafficker or significant transnational criminal organization, according to Schneider. He hopes the law will humble Hezbollah, as similar provisions did in Iran.
"Sanctions worked against Iran," Schneider said, explaining that it brought the country to the table for ongoing negotiations aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
This is not the first time Schneider, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has authored a bill that was approved by all of his colleagues. Late last year his Israel Qualitative Military Edge Enhancement Bill got a 399-0 nod. It is still pending in the Senate, however, and Schneider said he is trying to work with members of that chamber, too.
The United States has long assured Israel with a qualitative military advantage over other countries in the Middle East, but Schneider's bill will shorten the U.S. assessment period from four years to two.
"The rate of change has gotten so fast," he said.

Like N.C. State in 1983, BYU praying for upset of UConn
With video report
|BYU coach Jeff Judkins and players take time to pray prior to NCAA college basketball practice in Lincoln, Neb., Friday, March 28, 2014. BYU will play Connecticut in a Lincoln Regional women's semifinal basketball game on Saturday. (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
LINCOLN, Neb. — One of the most stunning upsets in NCAA Tournament history came in 1983 when Jim Valvano's North Carolina State men's basketball team knocked off the heavily favored, high-flying Houston team of Akeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler. The Wolfpack won, 54-52, when Lorenzo Charles dunked off a Dereck Whittenburg air ball at the buzzer.
The Wolfpack's leading scorer was Thurl Bailey with 15 points.
The BYU women's team has breathed some life back into that game and drawn inspiration from it this week as they've prepared for today's NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 game against No. 1-ranked UConn.
Bailey's niece, Morgan Bailey, a 6-foot-2 junior forward, starts for the 12th-seeded Cougars (28-6).
"He texted me yesterday and said, 'You have to compete and survive and move on,'" Bailey said. "Before the season, I watched a story about his Cinderella team, and it's very inspirational. I am ready to follow in his footsteps, if I can."
UConn senior Stefanie Dolson said the Huskies respect all of their opponents, but they focus on preparing themselves as well as they can rather than worry about who is hoping to upset them.
"We're always prepared to play any type of team," Dolson said. "Every team wants to beat us. Every team wants to beat an undefeated team. We're always expecting that and always preparing for it. So whether it's a Cinderella team or the second-ranked team in the country, they still want to beat us. It doesn't really matter who they are. We're just going to focus on our game."
BYU is the 16th double-digit-seeded team to reach the Sweet 16. The only one to ever advance out of the Sweet 16 and into the regional final was No. 11 Gonzaga, which beat Louisville, 76-69, in the 2011 semifinals.
Still, BYU has knocked off two ranked teams in the first two rounds of this year's tournament, beating No. 16 N.C. State and No. 12 Nebraska.
"But I never imagined ever playing UConn," guard Kim Beeston said. "Getting here has been just the perfect way to go out, both (leading scorer) Jen (Hamson) and I are seniors. It couldn't mean more to be playing such a team. I think that we just want to go out and prove that we can play with the big dogs."
Beeston said the team has talked about the N.C. State men's win over Houston quite a bit this week.
"We've talked about it, and anything can happen in one night," she said. "It's just a matter of us going out there and playing our best and doing all that we can to showcase our talents and why we're here."
Bailey said she has worn her uncle's national championship ring, watched YouTube clips from the Wolfpack's upset and watched a documentary on his team.
"The whole theme of this tournament for us has been to come in with no fear," Bailey said. "UConn, you see the uniform and you know that they're a powerhouse. But we'll have no fear, and I have the most confidence ever in our team right now. If we play our game, I think we could be in a good position."
Opportunistic or not, the Cougars are in a difficult position today. Not only has UConn (36-0) won every game this season by at least 11 points, with an average margin of victory of 36 points, but the Huskies seldom lose to teams whom they're supposed to beat.
Since winning their first national championship in 1995, the lowest seeded team the Huskies have lost to in the NCAA Tournament was No. 4 Iowa State in 1999 in the Sweet 16 round.
"We know what we are up against," junior forward Xojian Harry said, "but we are like, 'We can do this, guys.'"
BYU, only the third No. 12 seed ever to advance to a regional, is the lowest at-large seed of this year's tournament. Essentially, it was the last team to get a bid.
BYU coach Jeff Judkins said without question this is a David-and-Goliath game, but the former NBA player and men's assistant coach at Utah has faith in his team.
"We have very good inside presence, high-low," Judkins said. "We move the ball well. We have outside shooting. We play very physical man-to-man defense. We go motion offense with a lot of quick hitters, like the NBA guys do from my NBA background. We play a lot like UConn."
He said the one difference is UConn has the best player in the country in Breanna Stewart.
"I've just got to get my team to go out there and believe they can play them, and don't get beaten right off the bat (by a jersey) with the name 'UConn' on it," Judkins said. "Just go out and play your game. You've got to make baskets against them or it's a long night. Hopefully, we'll play our best game, and they can play their worst game. That's what we're hoping for."

Here we have Joe. Joe frequently appears throughout the narrative to do what he can to make Frank's life miserable. The problem? Joe isn't actually essential to the narrative and isn't particularly interesting, either. Where a serious villain would Kick the Dog to inspire an emotional reaction, this guy barely manages to Poke the Poodle. He'll dash onscreen every so often, twirl his moustache in a Jerk Ass manner, and then leave with little fanfare. In other words, Joe is a villain who doesn't do anything. He has been shoehorned into the narrative for little reason beside the conventional wisdom that all narratives need a bad guy. For this reason he's an especially common addition to adaptations intended to reach a wider audience than in his original form. This trope can possibly go in line with Designated Villain. If he's there to provide someone to boo because the main problem is too cool to hate or a morally neutral problem (a runaway train, an earthquake) it's a Hate Sink. Compare with Breakout Villain and Orcus on His Throne. When it's an entire unwholesome class of characters who don't seem to do of the dirty deeds of their profession, it's The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything.

I want to make this relationship last-what should I do?
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 03-05-2013 - 10:43pm
my boyfriend and i are in our almost late twenties and have been dating for about 6 months..everything is going great and it's the best relationship i have been in. We both truly love each other and he treats me very well and vice versa.I can honestly say he is the person i want to spend my life with.
We don't live very close to each other; we aren't far but it's far enough where it's just too difficult during the week to make that work. I also still live with my parents in an apartment and trying to save to possibly buy something. He lives with his parents in a house because he is saving to buy something in a few years too--so there is more privacy there. Naturally we starrted spending weekends together in his area. It's the only time we can really relax, , wake up together, see each other and enjoy each other's company.
So basically he will pick me up on a friday night and drop me home monday before we go to work. I wouldn't say it's alot of time together because by friday night we are exhausted from work. I love spending weekends with him though.
His friends are single and basically call at all hours, text and they still cling to each other expecting to be available to hang out. His one friend doesn't have a girlfriend, drinks alot, parties and hooks up with girls. He calls my b/f and texts him alot. I repsect their friendship and their history and I am always nice but i can also sense this friend probably hates that I am around each weekend. He is used to having my boyfriend available on weekends to hang out, have drinks etc and doesn't always want me hanging around even though I know they see me as cool, laid back, sweet etc.
I know this happens but i just find it odd above the age of 25 to give someone a hard time about life changing. I am more accepting that this is natural when it happened to some of my friends. I can't expect them to not make their significant other an eventual top priority. (not the only but top). After a few months of dating I would hear the friend say on the phone, you aren't even dressed yet? It was basically saturday morning and we were both on the couch lounging with coffee..why would i want to rush to get dressed?
This past friday my b/f said how he was talking to that friend and was told how they give him credit because he basically frees his weekend to be with me. I found that kind of crummy and insulting of the friend to say because he makes it seem like it's a chore, bad thing or like he HAS to spend weekends with me. I basically said yea and i free my weekends to spend time with you, it's the only time we have together given living circumstances and work. The weekends go by so fast and to have people texting and calling to be in a group, it does leave little time for us..and then if we are spending time alone i almost feel guilty about it even though i know he loves me. My is the type to feel guilty easily and doesn't want others mad at him. So obviously these statements will play on my b/f's mind.
My boyfriend asked what my feelings were in regards to a guy's night/girls night out on a saturday night and he promises to be good etc..he said he loves being with me but feels bad for this friend because he doesn't have a girlfriend due to him not appreciating her and not too many friends to hang out with.
It actually caught me off guard because this is the first time he asked to be apart. I know he is a wonderful boyfriend and I am lucky but I just got quiet about it. I do trust him not to cheat but i know the friend would definitely try and meet girls putting my boyfriend in the wingman position to chat it up as well. I just hate the idea and miss him when I am not with him. I told him if that's what he wanted. He kind of dropped the subject maybe sensing it upset me a little.
The problem is I don't want him to eventually resent me and I don't want to be made to feel guilty about being with him every weekend. I want to be with him the future and want to be the best girlfriend I can be. My thought was to almost suggest it but basically not even stay over on a friday and just go home to my area after dinner. Basically that would mean we wouldn't see each other until the following weekend.
It hurts me to be away and and maybe irrationally hurts me that he suggested a night out on a saturday night without me. I know it's healthy and all of that but it's not like I see him 7 nights a week. The saturday is basically to probably do an all nighter and really party it up.
He hasnt brought it up since which was over a week ago. Should I bring it up? Should I leave the topic alone? I don't want him to change towards me because he has been very sweet with his words and affections.
I am tired of hearing his friend's tone on the phone almost depressed that my b/f isn't availalbe or we just want to hang out at home etc. We went to lunch once the three of us and as we sat down he said the third wheel meaning him. I just feel like that's crappy to make my boyfriend feel guilty but i still bought the friend a drink and I am not the type to be mushy with a boyfriend in front of friends etc. He seems like the type of friend that would even encourage him to cheat if the opportunity presented itself to break us up.
What do i do?
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 1:14am
You tell him to go ahead and schedule a boy's night out, and you make plans to do something with your girlfriends (who might also be feeling kind of neglected?). You could suggest that the night out be on a Friday and that you and bf can get together on Saturday but if he wants to stick with Saturday night out then let it go.
Hopefully having the occasional night out will satisfy his friend but if not, then its bf's job to say that weekends with you is HIS choice. If he cannot or will not stand up to people in defense of you/your relationship then you need to know that now...there are lots of people on these boards complaining how their spouse doesn't stick up for them and it causes problems in their marriage.
The other way to try to make the relationship last is to live in the same city. A weekends-only relationship is kind of like a honeymoon, its not like day to day life will be, plus it sounds like most of the time its just the two of you together. You need to develop your relationship with some time spent as a couple with friends, and as a couple who see friends separately too. I understand that you want to spend as much time as possible with him but it kind of grows the relationship in an unhealthy way.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 7:23am
i am just not sure what to do.
He hasn't brought it up since and i am worried he could eventually change towards me. It's also true that why can't be on a friday night; he wants saturday because everyone will be more rested after work but that basically means we probably wouldn't see each other til the following weekend.
By the time the weekend comes it's hard to jump right in every single weekend and be in groups. It doesn't leave much for time for us. Usually by friday nights, we are exhausted and we definitely do spend time with others on the weekend but of course it's not all weekend and every weekend.
I am just not sure if i should bring it up myself or leave it alone for awhile. The friends sound super clingy though and i find it immature that the friend told him i give you credit for freeing your whole weekend almost like it's a bad thing or it's a chore.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 10:23am
Your BF sounds like a super guy - I really mean that. It *is* a big deal to clear your entire weekend for a SO - it's a statement that he *does* put your relationship at the top of his priority list. So don't be offended that his friends have commented on it, they probably are both missing him as well as envious that he has someone he *wants* to be with. Consider yourself lucky and don't harp on it.
He also sounds like a kind man to be feeling a little down for his best buddy who doesn't have someone he wants to spend all weekend with. It sounds like he's broached the subject looking for solutions, not a conflict. Good for him.
Let me give you some BTDT advice. I met DH in college when we were 20 and we spent most of the next SIX YEARS apart - not even nearly close, but hours away. Except for one year where I lived in his town, we only saw each other on the weekends for years. We finally moved in together when we were 26.
It would have been very limiting if during that time the only people we ever saw on the weekends were each other. We went out a LOT with lots of people - we went to bars but also cross country skiing, church, outings in parks, foot races, etc. DH's philosophy was always "any situation I'm in is better with you, and I want you everywhere with me" - one of the first things I loved about him was that he didn't feel a need to separate me from his friends. We did not create a little bubble of two-ness that couldn't be shared with others. Of course we had times when it was just the two of us, but most of the time we shared our time with friends. There were also occasional weekends where we didn't see each other and we each did things with our own family and friends. Over time his friends married women who became my friends too, and those were people we stayed close with as young married couples and then as couples with young children.
So my advice is, don't let this become a bigger deal than it is. Suggest that you all go out together - what's the problem with sharing a Saturday night with friends? If all anyone wants to do is go out drinking, suggest concerts and other activities. Create some memories with a larger group, and your BF will have more reasons to love you.
It might not be a bad idea BTW for your BF to start setting boundaries with his friends. I do not understand this trend towards constantly texting other people when they are with friends. Be present to the people you're with! Let him tell the friend you & he will meet him out later but for now he's spending time with you.
Incidentally, DH & I have been together for 30 years now. I hope that if your BF is the right one, you have that to look forward to also. He sounds like a super guy who wants to figure things out so that life can move forward - together.

I understand your feelings since when I was dating my exH, the first couple of months we lived pretty close, but then I got my first job & it was over an hour away--we both lived w./ our parents at that time, then he got an apt. but it was still far and we only saw each other on weekends for 2 yrs until we got married. Back then there would have been no living together before marriage. But I also understand the position of your BF's single friend. Imagine having a close friend that you have been used to going out & having fun with and then all of a sudden, he's totally unavailable every weekend, so yes, they could get together during the week for dinner or something, but the friend probably feels neglected too. I think there needs to be a balance where you don't just give up all your single friends when you're in a relationship. I read all the time from singles who complain that their friends got married & ditched them so now they are lonely and have to find all new single friends.
So I do think you should bring it up--why don't you go out with your friend and I'll make time to be with my friends that night? Do you live so far apart that you couldn't spend Friday night/Sat am with him and then each go out w/ your friends? yes it would be sad if you had to wait 2 weeks to see each other but in the long scheme of things, it will be nothing. I know you both said you're saving to buy a place, but wouldn't it be better to try for one of you at least to get a place with roommates so you could be closer together? I have to say I found it to be a big shock when I got married and my DH was around all the time!
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 11:50am
Also, don't you have any single girlfriends? You could arrange for a group to meet in a bar and that might solve the problem--you could be w/ BF and the friend could be having fun too.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 12:04pm
Personally, I see no reason why you all couldn't spend Saturday nite all going out as a group. I myself would not be real fond of the idea of my BF out drinking all nite at the bars with SINGLE friends who are looking for hookups. As far as his friend, your BF should not have to feel guilty about him. His friend is a grown man and it's not your BFS job to make sure his friend is entertained on Saturday nites. And maybe there's a reason his friend doesn't have a GF or any friends.

6 months really isn't all that long - maybe you are still in the early stages of this relationship developing. So many of us who come here have been stung by infidelity, and I experienced a similar thing with my DH back in the dark ages! The first thing I zeroed in on is why does your boyfriend think it's HIS job to keep his friend entertained all the time? I understand - when men gather it's usually in some activity, whereas women gather to talk things to death. I'm hearing your concern is the "activity" thing would be about him being with his friend who hooks up easily with other women - been there and of course it's a cause for concern. I would no longer tolerate that with my DH. If this friend has as his main goal to just hook up, hook up, hook up, it's only natural for it to make you uncomfortable. Flip side is if your boyfriend is committed to you, there's nothing anybody could do to coerce your boyfriend to hook up - he won't WANT to live that way anymore. I agree with you, he's old enough now that his contact with his hook-up happy friend really could continue to be an issue, and your boyfriend has it in his power to change this by suggesting they get together to do something ELSE - it really is not his job to keep his friend entertained. The friend sounds very immature and who knows, he may even be jealous that he has no one and as you said, doesn't want you around anymore (been there, too) - you're messing up his weekend plans!!!! I'd be thinking about all of you getting together so you can get to know one another better. Your boyfriend sounds like he's feeling guilty that things are changing for him and his friend, but we grow up and things DO change. There are only so many hours in the day, and it sounds like you're all pretty busy. He has the right to get together with old friends, and you have the same right. It just sounds like you are not so trusting, that you think if he goes out with this particular friend, he'll be overcome by temptation. If he's so inclined, he will, AND if he isn't, he won't. Call your own friends and make a night of it when he does the same. Time will tell if there is something to worry about. Like I said, my personal experience with my DH would make this a no no, but he's much older than you and his guy friends don't go out hoping to hook up. You need to be totally honest right now and have a difficult discussion with your boyfriend. But as I said earlier, 6 months equals a new relationship in my book, it isn't all settled yet.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 4:19pm
At 6 months in, you two are still in the ga-ga stage of your relationship. Nothing wrong with spending alot of time together now but eventually you both need your own guys nights out and girls nights out and couples nights out too. It is healthy for these things to occur. No need to freak out about them. If he cannot be trusted to go out with his friends, then wouldn't it be better to find that out now? Look at it as another area of compatibility where you two need to be in sync and so lets find out ASAP if you two match in this area of your relationship.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 5:04pm
Also the main issue with me would be where there hanging out, and if their out drinking all nite, is there a designated driver at the end of the nite? If their all hanging out in bars looking for hook ups, why is it that your BF can't suggest maybe they get together at a restaurant and have drinks and then maybe take in a movie, or go to someones house and drink? My issue would be the bar environment, there's just too much opportunity to have too much to drink and temptation to happen.
|Wed, 03-06-2013 - 8:09pm
Thank you everyone who responded!! Such great thoughts
I read all the comments and want to provide further information to answer some questions people asked.
He isn't older--we are pretty much the same age.
My first thought and instinct was this friend is immature and emotionally stunted to actually believe at our age things won't change--meaning people find their signifcant others at all different ages and they do eventually become a top priority..things change and there are only so many hours in the day and weekends are truly precious.
It sounds like this friend doesn't want me there no matter how cool or laid back I am because it's not like we are surrounded by a big group that included potential girls for him to meet. I don't have any friends for him and wouldn't want to hook him up with anyone I know. He has a lot of growing up to do.
It does worry me that my boyfriend actually feels truly guilty for telling this friend no even sometimes on weekends when him and I are hanging out..one example is we went out to a bar friday night and had drinks where we basically had to recover from them saturday. Therefore we didn't feel like going out again and I can hear his friends tone almost like you don't want to hang out, you are with her again. I almost want to scream, dude grow up and find someone and not make your so called good friend feel guilty that he met a great girl.
I almost want to tell my b/f at times you aren't 21 anymore--things change, friendships change no matter if he is with me or some other girl in the future. You can't please everyone when you have a full time job, family, significant other and in my experience the potential person you see marriage with is going to come first. I find it a natural part of life and accepted that with my friends even. I never made them feel guilty and I was single for a long time.
I just feel it's crappy that because he is single my b/f feels like he needs to be there and entertain him. Meanwhile I can see how this friend is and he would try to definitely meet girls that night they are out which does put my boyfriend in the wingman position. Even if I trust him--it bugs me to think about that and can't stand the thought :(. I repsect their friendship but i know the friend is wreckless, immature.
This friend doesn't want to go out in a group involving other couples--he wants his single buddy/buddies back.

Not directly seen those two documents but nothing I didn't know already. Nice to have it in black and white though - thanks.
Another member of this forum pointed those out to me a few weeks ago when I asked about OWA. I sent them to Ramesys to ask for clarification as they wanted to charge me a huge amount of money for OWA. They said they'd never seen them but would get onto MS to ask.....weeks have passed with no reply, and you've just reminded me to chase them up. Thanks
Isn't OWA just a part of exchange? I didn't realise it had to be bought seperately, in fact I'm sure it doesn't.
I believe you need to purchase the external connector license (pre-agreement) if people outside of your organisation need to access your OWA, in a school context this could be alumni, govenors, parents etc. i.e. people not directly employed by the school or on roll. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong please.Originally Posted by tscnmuk
No that sounds about right, we only use OWA internally so that shouldn't be a problem should it?
I hope not, and with this agreement in place it doesnt matter anyway, right?Originally Posted by tscnmuk
You're not the only one!Originally Posted by Lee_K_81
But like you say, as far as that agreement reads we should be alright.
The ECL is required for anybody that isn't already licensed - i.e. any user that doesn't have a 'per user' license or any device without a 'per device' license.Originally Posted by Lee_K_81
Just to add to my post above, Ramesys quoted a couple of weeks ago for 100 users (teachers and staff) around 12 grand. They are not aware of these letters....it would be interesting to know how many other schools have paid this extortionate amount for OWA if it really is free..... 8O

Avnet Express Announces Plans To Donate Chevrolet Volt "Guts" To Arizona State University's Formula Electric Team
PHOENIX and SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Any car enthusiast will say the most important part of the car lives under the hood. A group of Arizona State University students are about to get up close and personal with the Chevrolet Volt, courtesy of Avnet Express, the e-Commerce engine for Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT). On Saturday, April 14, during the Avnet Tech Games at the University of Advancing Technology in Tempe, Ariz., members of the Formula Electric Team from the Arizona State University Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering will receive the keys to a disassembled General Motors Chevrolet Volt – which they can further examine at the conclusion of the Drive for Innovation program. As part of the Drive for Innovation, a partnership between UBM Electronics and Avnet Express, this donation will give Arizona State University's future engineers the chance to study the innovation built inside the Chevrolet Volt.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120412/AQ86489LOGO)
Arizona State University's Formula Electric Team consists of nearly 25 members. Wade Gyllenhaal, team captain, said, "We are incredibly excited to be the recipients of the torn-down Chevrolet Volt. We're looking forward to studying the 'guts' of the car and learning what's really under the hood. We couldn't be more grateful to Avnet Express for the opportunity to study the inner workings of the car."
As part of the Drive for Innovation, engineers from Munro & Associates and UBM TechInsights tore down the car and highlighted the technology used inside the Volt, from its T-shaped battery pack to individual circuit boards. Removing about 600 components from the car, the team took note of circuit designs and the individual integrated circuits used. Click here to see a time-lapse video of the teardown.Brian Fuller, editorial lead of the Drive for Innovation, met with students and professors at Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus in March 2012. Fuller met with Professor John Robertson on the Polytechnic campus and discussed how the automotive engineering program was challenging students. In addition, Fuller met with the Formula Electric Team to discuss how they use the information they receive in the classroom to design electric vehicles; the team's involvement in the Society of Automotive Engineers; and how they are involved in a high school mentoring program. Click here to see a video with the Formula Electric Team. Fuller said, "The electric vehicle is chock-full of technology and will give the Arizona State University students a hands-on experience outside of the classroom. As these students continue to build new electric cars and compete, this technology will foster exciting new developments in the students' understanding of the intricate components and systems and their application of this knowledge to the vehicles they design. This kind of intellectual challenge is what will keep our universities graduating engineers with the knowledge to create innovative technologies and remain competitive in the worldwide marketplace." Beth Ely, senior vice president of Avnet Express, said: "The Drive for Innovation continues to expose the heart of American innovation and design to the world. With this donation, Avnet is hoping to inspire future engineers at Arizona State University to find new ways to create, design and build the technology of tomorrow." The Avnet Tech Games is an annual college technology competition that provides students with an opportunity to apply what they learn in school to real-world scenarios. Students compete in teams and each winning team member is eligible to receive a scholarship. The virtual games are open to college students nationwide and allow students to compete against others from across the country. Projects are submitted to judges who are able to score them remotely and declare a winner. The culminating event, the Arizona Onsite Competition is a one-day event open to Arizona college students. About the Drive for Innovation Program:Since July 2011, the Chevrolet Volt has been making periodic stops throughout the journey, where Fuller, the driver of the Chevrolet Volt, has been interviewing engineers, entrepreneurs, innovators and students, and blogging and posting video updates about his experiences. The trip details the electronic innovations behind the Chevrolet Volt and the future of plug-in electric cars. The multi-faceted program is anchored by a website that features content from the road trip, a drive tracker and an interactive map that highlights the tour as well as games and prizes to fuel community engagement. Avnet Express gives design engineers and purchasing professionals online access to the world's largest catalog of electronic component products, which tops five million parts. Avnet Express offers parametric searching capabilities and the ability to upload a bill of materials (BOM) for easier sourcing of products and a consistent global platform of localized content. The site can be accessed in nine languages and 13 currencies.

|re: Jimbo Fisher, Florida State $2,750,000
Posted by IndependentGeorge on 11/10 at 3:50 pm to TheOceanI don't see him being that impressive. Since he had been there it's always "this is the year FSU returns". Well he hasn't really accomplished anything spectacular. Bunch of fizzled out teams who have choked. This year is yet to be determined but one not complete undefeated year doesn't mean a whole lot.

Posted by TheOcean on 11/10 at 3:57 pm to wish i was tebowSure. And those arguments are valid if you agree with the premise that FSU is FSU and we should be good no matter what.
That simply isn't true.

Posted by FootballNostradamus on 11/10 at 4:08 pm to wish i was tebowJimbo has been a phenomenal manager of the program. The first goal as a head coach in college football is talent acquisition. In that aspect of his job Jimbo is second only to Saban. The talent he's acquired at Florida State can't be found anywhere outside of Tuscaloosa; it's literally incredible.
People talk about Winston, but all Winston is doing is allowing the talent around him to really shine through. He is incredible in his own right, but this isn't an A&M situation where JFF is just being Superman. The two-deep at Florida State, hell the three-deep is scary.
As a pure game management/Xs and Os coach, he's probably not top 15 IMO, but as long as he continues to dominate everyone in talent acquisition he will continue to win a significant majority of his games and continue to elevate FSU's program.
I wouldn't have a problem with someone putting him in the top 5, but that's just because of how strongly I believe in recruiting.

Posted by wish i was tebow on 11/10 at 4:10 pm to FootballNostradamusI agree he is a good recruiter.

FSU has always been loaded with talent. dont kid yourselves. the guys been at fsu since 2007. So if the players didnt care about winning or losing then its on him also seeing as he was the oc and named the coach in waiting. maybe he should have recruited players that wanted to play their heart out for fsu.

I really thought he was gonna set his successor up with a championship-ready squad but Jameis put them ahead of schedule this year.
Jimbo is a really good offensive coach that has the occasion brain fart every season. I've long thought their main issue was Rick Trickett and their perpetually undersized offensive lines.
They seem to have either gotten that fixed or Jameis is just that good that he's been able to mask that issue.

Posted by GatorsGators on 11/10 at 5:44 pm to FootballNostradamusThey're having a phenomenal season. Jimbo has done a great job with this team.
That doesn't change the fact that some of his past teams have choked in games that should've been blowouts. He's a great recruiter, one of the best in the game. As far as preparation and in-game adjustments, I think he's pretty mediocre.
A gaudy record at a historical power in a terrible conference isn't proof that he's a great coach. It's proof that he's a solid coach, but nothing more. Not everyone would have success at FSU, but there are a bunch of coaches out there that would.
He's a good coach; there's no doubt about that. Top 5? Eh...

Name me a coach who hasn't. Outside of Saban and maybe Meyer there really isn't one.
I'd agree and as I think this is the most important thing about being a head coach I'd say this carries a huge amount of weight.
Mediocre is too harsh, but no I don't think he's an expert at Xs and Os.
I really think yal underestimate how talented FSU is. I used to, but then I saw them in persion. That's the best team in the nation.
If they play Bama they might (actually they probably will) lose, but that's only because Saban with a month off is virtually unbeatable. If FSU and Bama played next week I have little doubt FSU would win.

Tommy King
Interim Superintendent of Schools
Alvin Independent School District
Alvin ISD Community,
The start of the 2014-2015 school year is quickly approaching. In a matter of a few short weeks school bells will ring, and students and staff will fill the halls of our schools optimistic about what the year has in store. New opportunities will be available for every student attending school in Alvin ISD, as the District continues to focus on the three critical areas of our Engaged Learning Model: Relationships, Design and Standards. Staff members have spent countless hours this summer focused on professional growth and learning opportunities, in preparation for the return of our students. The vision of Alvin ISD continues to compel us to be a dynamic learning organization committed to excellence for all students and every program. Over the course of a student's educational career, parents entrust their children to the faculty and staff of Alvin ISD for 2,340 days. We are committed to providing every student with meaningful learning opportunities on each one of those days.
Meeting the needs of every student requires a strong partnership between Alvin ISD and our community. Over the past few months, community members, parents and students worked with district staff members through a series of Education Summits and focus groups to develop the profile of an Alvin ISD learner. Our community identified, as a priority, that every graduate: Strategically Collaborates & Communicates, Initiates, Innovates, Problem Solves, Analyzes Data, Thinks Critically, Adapts, Empathizes, Values Ethics, and Thinks Globally. Throughout the year classroom assignments and projects, designed by our outstanding teaching staff, will facilitate the development of these vital skills listed in the Learner Profile, while engaging student in course content.
It is my honor to serve Alvin ISD as the Interim Superintendent for the upcoming fall semester. Having previously dedicated 27 years to Alvin ISD, I'm confident that the direction and commitment to the needs of each student is stronger than ever before. I encourage parents, community members, and students to actively partner with district staff as we aspire to achieve our goal of, "2,340 Every Student, Every Day."

(CHATSWORTH, CA) -- Patrick Collins has just agreed to a 12 picture/1 year, exclusive directing deal with director Axel Braun. Axel is the son of legendary pornographer Lasse Braun, notable not only for his ground-breaking directing style, but also for helping the legalization of pornography in many parts of Europe.
Growing up in this environment sparked an interest in the adult entertainment world, as well as an interest in human nature for his son Axel. Axel grew up in Italy, where he majored in psychology in college, then, in the late 80's moved to Hollywood to attend film school. Working with his father as an assistant director, writer, producer, cameraman, and editor, Axel gained knowledge in every aspect of the business.
In 1995 Axel founded his own independent production company: "Axel Braun Productions". His first movie, "The Adventures of the G-Man", was the first installment of a series so successful that it brought much acclaim to the young director in his home country of Italy. In this series, Axel displayed his fondness for what later became his signature fetish: Female Ejaculation. His first American break came in 1997 with "The Book of Lust", followed by "Sexcape" in 1998.
After several other movies that were well received and often critically acclaimed in Europe, Axel continued producing his own titles and selling the rights to various companies (his latest feature, "Euro Nymphs" got 4 stars and a Spotlight Pick on AVN).
Patrick Collins, owner of Elegant Angel, says this about Axel...."Axel fits in very well with what we have going on here at Elegant Angel. We are bringing up all aspects of our productions, and Axel has an amazing eye for detail. His work has a beautiful cinematic quality to it, as well as a reality to his characters that I find very interesting. He is very visual, and tells stories with his films unlike anything I've ever seen. And he can bring an intense sexuality out of girls that many others directors are not able to capture."
Axel is also very excited to be working with Elegant Angel, and feels as though he has found a new home. "I've known Patrick Collins for years, and I've always respected him as a person. Now I really look forward to working with him, and I know that we are going to have a good, long lasting relationship."
Axel is currently working on his first film for Elegant Angel, called "The Bachelorette", a quirky feature that he wrote about a girl about to get married, and the doubts that she encounters through her many different sexual experiences. His cast includes, among others, Inari Vachs, Nikita Denise and Syren, and he is not only directing, but editing, writing, and creating the music for this film.
As he continues in his father's footsteps, Axel Braun's movies will bring a new, young, artistic edge to a well established award-winning company, while creating another legacy of his own. To see more of Axel's work, go to AxelBraun.com
Look for a fall release of "The Bachelorette" from Elegant Angel productions.

(AP) Prosecutors portrayed a retired Pennsylvania pastor Tuesday as a philanderer who killed both of his wives because he was unhappy with his sex life, but his attorney says in acknowledging his client's adultery that it doesn't make him a murderer.
Monroe County prosecutor Michael Mancuso told a jury in the Poconos that Arthur A.B. Schirmer, 64, repeatedly hit his second wife in the head with a heavy metal object in 2008, then staged a car accident in a bid to cover it up. He said the plot unraveled a few months later when a member of the congregation committed suicide in the church office after learning that Schirmer was having a relationship with the congregant's wife, the church secretary.
Emails and other evidence pulled from Schirmer's computers indicate the former Methodist pastor's marriage to Betty Schirmer was very, very troubled, Mancuso said, telling jurors about one email in which the pastor complained his menopausal wife had lost all interest in sex, and that they hadn't been together sexually in two years.
The retired pastor is charged separately in Lebanon County with killing his first wife, Jewel Schirmer, in 1999. Mancuso told the jury about that case, too, saying there are similarities in how the women were killed and that Schirmer had cheated on Jewel, too.
Schirmer has pleaded innocent in both cases.
Schirmer's attorney, Brandon Reish, acknowledged his client's philandering ways. But he said in his opening statement that didn't make him a murderer.
You can't take bad behavior, bad science and church gossip and turn them into a murder, let alone two, Reish said.
The trial is expected to focus on the car crash that Schirmer blames for his wife's death.
Schirmer told investigators he was driving his wife to the hospital at 1:50 a.m. on July 15, 2008, so she could be treated for jaw pain. He told police a deer crossed their path, causing him to lose control of the car. A.B. Schirmer was unhurt in the crash and there was minimal damage to the car, but his wife suffered multiple skull and facial fractures and died at the hospital.
Mancuso said police reopened their investigation into the crash after the suicide in Schirmer's office at Reeders United Methodist Church. He said accident reconstruction and medical experts concluded that Schirmer was only driving between 18-22 mph when he hit the guard rail, not 55 as he had initially claimed, and that Betty Schirmer's extensive injuries could not have been caused by the crash.
Police also found the victim's blood in the garage of the church parsonage, along with evidence that someone had tried to clean it up, Mancuso said.

Religious Propositions At Variance With Reason: The Nigerian Experience Of The undoing Of Religion?
By Justine John DYIKUK
Karl Max has criticized religion as, "the opium of the masses." The Maxis proposition alongside other anti-faith believes have left debates and counter debates on the supreme being, God and the expectant worship due him by humans. Form the etymological and historical points of view, religion being old as humanity itself binds humans and the Supreme Being. It creates both vertical and horizontal bonds between adherents and the great being and among themselves.
Creeds are indispensable aspects of religion of whatever sort which create belief systems, ethics and rituals. Often, followers immerse themselves in doctrines and traditions in keeping with faith and time tested values. Religion, this God-given phenomenon, is expected to herald core adherents who are true to a life of worship in principle and in practice.
A bottle-neck in the quest of the divine and worship that should accrue him is the multi-faceted nature of belief systems in the world. A crucial and more critical issue is religious propositions which not only offend reason but are contrary to the demands of natural law. Since the worship of God and the practice of faith is a matter of choice, it is often, "everyone one to himself, God for us all." This piece seeks to rationally and reflectively bring out various religious propositions in the air in conflict with the demand
of right reason, the albatross of our country.
The first straw is twin fatalism and predestination. This is not a new phenomenon among world religions. Fatalism or predestination is an ideology that presents both physical and spiritual reality as pre-arranged by God. It asserts that everything we do or say has been designed by God. If one employs right reason, the question the fatalist may not be able to answer is the place of human freedom and free will as well as the problem of evil in a world created by a good God. Why do we have laws for instance if God has arranged that human beings will commit evil? If I drink and drive and I am involved in an accidently in which I knock someone to death will I be culpable?
An implication in the above understanding is, those for hell fire have been earmarked; same for candidates for heaven. It then means that there is no need of making any effort to reform or change since one has a designated place designed for him from time immemorial. Again, where will we place free-will in the everyday life of human beings?
In this line of argument, is the believe that God has not only created some people poor and others rich but that he has designed society in that manner. It is expected that 'poor Lazarus' should forever remain mute, even in the face of injustices and look up to 'the Rich Man' for scraps – as an addition to this teaching, is the conception that this is God's way of saving both the anawim and the bourgeois. Reason may ask; is God so unjust to create this uneven and cruel rich – poor dichotomy!
Closely related to the above is a mentality of allowing something evil which I can avert to happen to somebody so I can empathize with him and receive reward. Supposing I see my neighbor's child falling into a well, I could just turn a blind eye and offer some sympathetic words after the kid must have drowned; that way, God will bless me. A pertinent question is whether all religions seek the supreme good or not? And if in the affirmative, are kind words better than a kind deed?
A more sensitive one is a religion that stands for God creating an abattoir ready for slaughter. At the slightest provocation, hands are up in arms. To whatever length, blood would flow. In this case, sacredness of life na your palaver. Perhaps, this God has no hands, ears, eyes or even legs and so he totally depends on human beings to sentence and acquit, chase and kill. A clear case of anthropomorphism you would say!
On the place of women, many malevolent theories abound. Aside from denying them a place in the scheme of things, they are meant to be seen not heard. Never daring to talk or raise an eye brew – always taking the last place – denied education and the choice of a career; seen as weak and lily-livered. It is as though it is the male-folk that determines their happiness, gives meaning to their lives and even ascertain their life-hereafter.
These are by no means an attempt at demeaning religion but a stitch in time meant to save nine. It is a wake-up call to all and sundry to make haste while the sun shines. The malevolence of the Nigerian society; bribery and corruption, subsidy saga, insecurity, anti-life activities, promiscuity, unpatriotic acts, take place; no thanks to religious propositions which stand in the way of right judgment. This is a crusade towards revamping sacred doctrines militating against the good of all and divine law.
Who is saddled with this daunting yet noble task? Your sentiments like mine go to the architects of each 'artifact' of worship and the numerous informed people of goodwill in our country. Uncooked religious leadership is an incubator of vice, violence and misinformed bullets of 'knowledge.' Our weighing scale for all propositions, I insist, consists of, truism, objectivity, sincerity, the common good and life-related maxims. May God help each and every Nigerian to balance his or her PIETY with PATRIOTISM and not PATRONISE PROPOSITIONS that PUT us in trouble. God bless Nigeria!

They charged me unreasonably high price to just replace a distributer for my car ($512.96). After I filed complaint (K35) with DMV they returnd me $75 back . The point is the distributer (part) costs only $127 in AutoZone while he charged me $341 ( a difference of more than $200 from the actual market price). On top of this he charged me more than $170 for lobor while it only took him less than an hour to fix the car. Judge for your self!
+ good for oil change
- Expensive, unreasonably high cost
Have had the boys at Marty's do my automotive work for several years and have always felt that they did honest work at a fair price. Seem to be on the ball, and don't replace parts unless ther is a very good reason to do so. Highly recommend.

BakuAmong the new Islamic countries of the post-Soviet Union, I tend to like Azerbaijan a lot. You get your kebab warm, photo-venders throw LC-A after you and I even saw transvestites after nightfall on the street. That's what I call liberal, baby! I was in Baku for a seminar, so food and drinks were granted for free. Yeah! There is an interesting habit for waiters, though.

Compass Minerals' CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Now I'll turn the call over to Angelo.
Angelo C. Brisimitzakis
Thanks Peggy. Hello everyone. First, let me say that I hope it's snowing where you are this morning. It's no secret that winter got off to a very late and weak start this season and you probably weren't surprised by how much the mild weather depressed our fourth quarter results. But despite a very low snow fall in the fourth quarter, a devastating tornado that temporarily shut down our Goderich operations, and much too cool rainy weather at the Great Salt Lake this past summer, which prevented us from reaching normal SOP solar evaporation production levels. Our 2011results were still the second best in our company's history when the weather and the other external factors are considered.
Our 2011 sales were up 3% to $1.1 billion, just 5% below our banner 2008 year.Our pro forma net earnings were up 10% to $160 million, just 4% below our record set in 2009. And we generated more than $250 million in cash flow from operations, up 5% which was just 1% below our record set in 2008. These are commendable results considering the obstacles we had to overcome during 2011. So how did we do it? Well the strength of Compass Minerals comes from our foundation of the exceptional business fundamentals. We serve very attractive end markets. Our products are essential in their applications. Our primary asset has structural advantages, our production, logistics and business units are well integrated and we have creative and dedicated employees who found safe ways to overcome many of the challenges we faced.These are the strength that give Compass Minerals its exceptional resilience. Our Salt segment faced some particularly difficult challenges in 2011. In the first quarter, our Salt operating margins were compressed by the higher cost inventory we carried over from to 2010. We had sold through that inventory and production costs were returning to the normal levels when a tornado struck Goderich, Ontario, causing, firstly, significant damage to our largest mine, then striking our mechanical evaporation plant located a couple of miles away.

One of Nasomatto's most provocative fragrances, Absinth strives to evoke - as its creator, Alessandro, terms it - 'degrees of hysteria.' Exotic, fresh and undeniably original, you're bound to court a little danger when you daub on this exhilarating spicy-herbal blend.

Comments about Absinth Parfum Extract:
i used absinth for the past to weeks and i cannot stop smelling it, ive heard stories about how you need to be in the mood to wear some nasomatto frags, but def not this one. ive gotten compliments from women and guys asking wear i got it. i promise its not a let down, and beauty bar is most likely the fastest shipping ive ever seen, less than a day and this was at my door. thanks again
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
