Caroline Ellis, a live-in nurse hired to care for stroke-patient Ben Devereaux, never believed in the supernatural. But Ben is not an ordinary patient and the isolated mansion on the banks of a New Orleans swamp, is not an ordinary home. It has a history of murder, magic and sacrifice. Caroline, scarred by her own father's death, realizes that Ben´s stroke was not an accident. It is somehow connected to the room in the attic, somehow connected to hoodoo. Ben cries out for help and Caroline decides to uncover the sinister secrets of the house and save Ben from the horrors that hold him captive within.
British film director Ian Softley (K-PAX, The Skeleton Key, Inkheart) has always loved supernatural movies, movies where real world skeptical characters meets incidents that challenge rational beliefs. Without success he tried to get The Skeleton Key off the ground for seven years before it actually got made. The studios did not believe in the screenplay at all. But everything changed as movies like The Sixth Sense and The Blair Witch Project proved the genre to be very much alive.
Award-winning horror screenwriter Ehren Kruger (The Ring, Blood´n Chocolate, The Skeleton Key) wrote a story that almost scene by scene, line by line, got transferred into the final film, into the final cut. The comparison, the similarities, between screenplay and movie are remarkable. The screenwriter's vision made it, not only though the director of the movie, but through the decision makers in the studio system and through the trained eye of two-time Oscar winning picture editor Joe Hutshing (JFK, Born of the Fourth of July, Being John Malkovich). It is a well-crafted piece of art – well worth studying.
One interesting small difference between screenplay and movie is that Caroline had an ex-boyfriend in the script, appearing in the scene in the New Orleans bar, and mentioned a few times during the course of the movie. This was unnecessary back-story, not integrated. Taking it out was a good choice by the director.
The movie, called "one of the most enjoyable inane movies of the season" (New York Times), "tightly plotted and suspenseful enough to keep you guessing until the satisfying, unexpected end, which is worth suspending disbelief for." (Los Angeles Time), made close to $48.000.000, which earns a place in the top-20 most successful supernatural horror movies ever (US. Box office).
Storytelling Highlights
• A Fascinating Opening.
Caroline reads a wonderful passage from Robert Louis Stevenson's classic Treasure Island as her patient, an old man, passes away. The audience has yet no idea of where the story is going, but the beautifully written words create magic. They call for attention and slowly pull you out of your reality into the world of the story.
The convention in horror screenwriting is to introduce death by an attack of the antagonist in the first scene (Jaws, Scream, Halloween, Hellraiser, and many many more) and The Skeleton Key too introduces death, but in a more interesting way. It manages to introduce the protagonist, her personality, her motivations and needs that are crucial to the story. And it creates empathy. The opening is rooted in a very naturalistic environment with real people.
• Problem / Need.
How do you motivate your protagonist to stay in a house where you are threatened by evil forces? Caroline could just leave the Devereaux mansion if she wants to. But there is one thing that makes her stay. Ben. And the sense of connection Caroline feels is integrated from the opening frame of the movie. In the first scene we learn that nobody, nobody except Caroline, cares for the dying man in the opening. "It's supposed to be a business about caring. They couldn't care less." she says.
Then you have the brilliant back-story of Caroline's dead father. She feels guilt over not being there when her father passed away. Guilt is the powerful motivator that we all understand.
Your parents still living?
Oh? Must have been young.
My father died last year — of cancer.
He raised me.
Oh my. So you cared for him as well?
I would've. If I'd known how little time we
had left.
Even Jill, Caroline's best friend, points out that Caroline may be caring to much, that Ben is not Caroline's father.
Her motivation is integrated from the very first scene of the movie all the way until the end when she asks Luke to get the photograph of her dead father when he threatens her with a shotgun.
• The Skeptic Protagonist.
Caroline is a skeptic and that alone, since it is the starting point of most people in the audience, make her easy to identify with. She is also the one person we follow throughout all the scenes in the entire movie. Writing from a single person point of view is hard. You can never reveal anything by cutting to another character. And if you have a boring protagonist, you are in deep trouble. The advantage is that as the audience learns everything at the same time as our hero – it creates powerful identification and empathy.
Kruger beautifully breaks down Caroline's defenses of skepticism one by one, introducing the hoodoo room, the ghosts in the mirrors, introducing the community that practices magic. And when Caroline sees that her own ritual to make Ben talk actually works, when she learns that her best friend Jill believes in hoodoo, that the former caretaker warns her, that the magic brick dust really do keep enemies out, she has a hard time not to believe what she witnesses. And so the audience follows along into the world where anything can happen – making it possible for the filmmakers to create fear. Show the rules of the world you create and there can be no resistance.
• The Allied Opponent.
Who are we most afraid of betraying us? Who would hurt us the most? And where do we least expect it? From our friends, our families, from our allies. This technique has been applied since the dawn of storytelling and connects deep into what we fear in life. Skeleton Key creates a safe place where Caroline can go when she finally escapes the mansion. She goes to Luke, the lawyer who insisted on her taking the job in the first place (and we never consider why she didn´t go to the police or her best friend who already do believe in magic). Caroline and Luke have become friends. But when he betrays her, he brings her back to the old house by the swamp, which is the worst thing that could happen. It's very effective.
• Great Storytelling Rhetoric.
"You won't believe me…" says Violet as she tells the story of the two murdered servants and the ghosts in the house. This phrase may seem insignificant, but it's really more powerful than the story she is telling. This is a classic technique of persuasion. By telling someone what they won't or can't, you often get the opposite reaction. Nobody wants to be told what his or her actions and reactions will be. We do not want to be predictable. We want to have the freedom of choice. So when Violet says "You won't believe it…" Caroline and the audience thinks "Don't tell me what to believe or not! I will believe whatever I want… " and we open up for the possibility of the story being true, for the possibility of believing. Remember, we have already seen the stacked mirrors in the attic. The same technique of rhetoric is then used again. "Now you will leave. Like all the rest…", says Violet. And she thereby creates the opposite reaction.
• Red Herrings – Twist´n Turns.
Skeleton Key uses expectations and revelations to create the emotional thrill ride. First making us believe that there are ghosts in the mirrors; that's why they are all put away in the attic; that is why Ben reacts with total fear and agony when he looks into Caroline's pocket mirror. The truth is, as you might know, something completely different.
Then we get to know hoodoo, something new, something unfamiliar, and that the Conjure of Sacrifice is a spell that will keep you from dying. "You have to sacrifice a person and take the years that they have left", says the old bayou woman. Violet is going to sacrifice Ben. It is the first thing that seems logical, right? What else could it be? A lesser screenwriter than Ehren Kruger might have gone with that idea. Seems good enough, right? But Kruger knows that the audiences are usually ahead of the story, they try to anticipate what is coming – so he sets this up and uses it to his advantage to create the memorable ending of the story. (Kruger also does this in "The Ring", where Rachel first believes the videotape to be, as most people would have in the same situation, a message from the dead stepmother of Samara. A red herring. He then uses it again when Rachel believes that finding the girl broke the curse. Great twist ending.) In Skeleton Key, as we approach the climax, Caroline realizes that Ben is not the sacrifice. She is. Then, a final twist, the big revelation that changes everything. Caroline is tricked into a ritual and the souls of Caroline and Violet trade bodies. Caroline, the caregiver, trapped inside the old woman's body. Violet takes the years Caroline's body has left. A Plot of Revelation.
• Plot of Revelation.
The Plot of Revelation, using one of Norman Friedman's brilliant story structures, is one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences a reader or an audience can have. Basically it's a major revelation revealed in the very climax that changes everything. Just think of successes like The Sixth Sense, Angel Heart, and The Others. Imagine if these stories ended without that final twist and you easily see the power of it. A Plot's of Revelation is one of the trickiest structures to master, since you cannot just create twist at the stories climax. The key is to integrate it in the story – all the way though, you have to give the audience time to realize, realizing at the same time as the protagonist, the implications of what is happening. That moment of slow realization can make a horror writer's career. (Again, imagine Bruce Willis telling us he is dead in The Sixth Sense instead of us learning it, understanding it with him.)
Skeleton Key is a well-integrated story and does not reveal the secrets until they have the most effect.

Christmas Day Burst
Illustration courtesy A. Simonnet, NASA/EPO/SSU
A comet-like body gets torn apart by a neutron star in an illustration of what might have caused an unusual gamma-ray burst spotted by NASA's Swift satellite last December 25.
It's thought so-called long gamma-ray bursts happen when massive stars collapse and explode as supernovae. But last year's flash, dubbed the Christmas Day burst, was unlike any other gamma-ray burst yet seen, prompting researchers to consider alternate explanations.
One team proposes that an object about half the mass of the dwarf planet Ceres got within about a million kilometers of a neutron star that's 1.4 times the mass of the sun. As the comet approached the star, it got ripped apart by gravitational forces—just as the comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 (picture) broke up when it got too close to Jupiter.
Pieces of the broken object falling onto the neutron star sparked the flash of gamma rays, the team theorizes. (Read more about the Christmas Day burst.)

Bright swaths amid dense dust show where stars are forming in this infrared view of Cygnus X, a stellar "factory" believed to contain enough raw material to make two million stars like our sun.
Sitting 4,500 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan, the star-forming region was first spotted by astronomers in the 1950s as a bright radio source.
Recently, scientists using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope also detected intense gamma-ray emission within Cygnus X—possibly a sign that the region's cavities of gas and dust, carved by star birth, have managed to corral some of the mysterious particles known as cosmic rays.

Further details
Notes The Castle of Elgin was a stronghold at a very early date and became a royal fortress in the 12th century. It was occupied by Edward I of England. The Castle appears to have been a ruin since the 15th century, and so little now remains of its buildings that it is impossible to say to what period the few surviving fragments belong. The walls at the NE angle may represent the foundations of the great tower.

12 December 1962 | FIELD VISIT |
Notes The extant remains of a rectangular structure at the east end of Lady Hill, are all that survive of the castle. The ruin measures 19.6 x 10.6m and consists of thick rubble walls 2.5m thick with a maximum height at the north end of 2.6m. The top of the hill is considerably mutilated with hollows, and hollow-ways, presumably the result of quarrying materials for the construction of the Duke of Gordon's Monument, and the Observatory, both on the summit, but the latter now demolished. A large circular depression west of the NW corner of the castle is 0.5m. deep, and may also be the result of quarrying, or excavation. A fragment of an incised cross from the castle is in Elgin museum.

July 1972 to August 1973 | EXCAVATION |
Notes A research excavation on the site of the castle was begun in July 1972 and continued in August 1973. Also in 1972 a full survey of the site was undertaken. It was intended that these two seasons would represent the start of a fairly large-scale operation, carried out over several years, but the proposed work was not undertaken. The initial aims were to establish the outer limits of the castle, to ascertain whether the hill was natural or artificially raised and to determine the earliest occupation of the site.
Excavations showed that the outer defences on the N side comprised a stone-based earthen rampart with a timber revetment or palisade on its outer face. At the southern or upslope end of Trench C1 there may have been another rampart line with a stone revetment. Between the two ramparts was a line of postholes and an undefined stone structure. A considerable number of iron nails were found in association with the palisade trench and it is likely that this defensive element relates to the earliest (timber?) phase of the castle, although it is reported that there was no associated dating evidence.
No evidence was found within the excavated areas that the mound had been raised or enhanced by importing quantities of redeposited soil, though it does appear that the outer defensive lines were partly achieved by scarping or terracing the natural hillslope.
No positive evidence of Dark Age or earlier occupation was recorded.

45 million tonnes - That is how much coal CN ships, on average, every year. That's a lot of coal. With access to over 13 mines and seven petroleum coke producing facilities in the U.S. and Canada and the high-capacity terminals we serve, we connect North American coal producers to markets around the world.
We ship enough coal every year to fill about 3 million swimming pools, and we could fill a lot more! We have access to multiple high capacity terminal such as Ridley, Westshore and Neptune are three of many terminals which can accommodate high volumes destined to China, Korea, India or Japan.
We offer you access to our unique three-coast network to get your coal products to key markets in Canada and the U.S or overseas to Asia or Europe.
We have the speed, the reach and the capacity to expand your market. No we do not go to the moon yet, but we can definitely take you there with our high level of service and our professionalism.
We can ship thermal coal from various origins in the U.S. and Canada to either reach local markets or travel as far as Europe and Asia with a network that spans three coasts.
Did you know that Prince Rupert has a 10-day supply chain advantage to the Asian market? Look at our transit times to Asia.
We have developed a comprehensive supply-chain approach - a series of clear metrics highlighting coal inventories at mine and port, the arrival date of vessels, the amount of coal being shipped from mines, and the number of trains in transit to and from the mines.
We can measure the amount of coal on hand, on the train and at the port and adapt our train schedule and frequency to a specific vessel schedule.
CN owns and operates the largest equipment fleet in Canada. We have the quantity and variety of equipment you need to meet your transportation requirements for safe, damage-free shipping!

This is quite an interesting points promo. Capital One is running a promo this week that will award you more points for having a higher Klout score and for the number of other Capital One customers who enroll for this promo by using your link. You can earn a maximum of 10 points per dollar total from the Klout score and number of people who use your link to sign up for the promo. For those who aren't familiar with Klout scores, they range from 1 to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a higher assessment by Klout of a person's number of Twitter and Facebook followers and whether or not those followers pay attention to what the person Tweets, puts on Facebook, etc. Klout has some other different measures of gauging how influential a person is with their social media followers as well. Klout has some supporters and their fair share of opponents as well. I won't get into all of that here, but just be aware that not everyone likes Klout. That being said, you can like them for at least a week if you use a Capital One Rewards card and want to earn some extra points!
To access your Klout score, you need to log into Klout with your Twitter of Facebook account. You can link both accounts to Klout if you want. I only have my Twitter account currently linked. I know, I am probably a "bad" social media blogger. You will then see your Klout score. Mine is currently a 43. Not great, but good enough to get a decent bonus out of this promo. While we are on this topic, feel free to follow me on Twitter @Mommy_Points or on Facebook.
Here is a breakdown of how you can earn up to a total of 10 additional points per dollar spent on your Capital One Rewards card.
Your Klout Score Bonus Rewards
0 to <20 1 bonus point per dollar
20 to <30 2 bonus point per dollar
30 to <40 3 bonus point per dollar
40 to <50 4 bonus point per dollar
50+ 5 bonus points per dollar
# of Referrals Bonus Rewards
1 to 3 1 bonus point per dollar
4 to 6 2 bonus point per dollar
7 to 9 3 bonus point per dollar
10 to 12 4 bonus point per dollar
13 to 15 5 bonus point per dollar
16 to 18 6 bonus point per dollar
19 to 21 7 bonus point per dollar
22 to 24 8 bonus point per dollar
25+ 9 bonus point per dollar
I don't personally have a Capital One credit card right now, but I know many of you did get in during the 100,000 Capital One Venture card bonus earlier this year. So, if you want to give that card a little love this holiday season, this may be a good chance to do just that. Keep in mind that Capital One Rewards don't transfer out to other hotel or airline programs the way that Chase Ultimate Rewards or American Express Membership Rewards points do, however you can use them for gift cards or to pay for travel "as cash". At a possible 10x additional points per dollar, this promo still seems worth considering. You can earn up to 10,000 bonus points during this promo.
Here are a few of the Terms and Conditions:
Eligibility: To be able to take advantage of this offer, you (and any customers you refer) must complete the enrollment process, including accepting these terms and conditions, and

I have a twitter and facebook account I use only for this stuff (points and such). I don't have a bunch of friends or followers etc…it is just for promos/points.
My score was only 16 on Facebook and 10 on twitter since I do not "tweet" on that account…nor does anyone follow me! So it looks like I am only getting 1 extra "mile". Normally I wouldn't be using this card but decided to pull it out a couple of weeks ago and use it for another 2 months before I cancel it. I got the "match my miles" bonus and used it for a few months but burned up all the "miles" on a trip to Hawaii.
I actually like the card…I like 2% which I can use to pay for previously purchased travel. But the Sapphire preferred has become my main card of choice just for the flexibility…
@Kelly S, hey one extra point is better than none!
After wasting an hour on the phone trying to find out why was getting an error when trying to enroll I was finally told that they "thought" that the program would only accept so many people and that it must be full. I read this to possibly mean that it was a targeted offer. Anyway they did give me 500 points for my trouble.
Has anyone been able to register since late Monday afternoon?
@Todd, it said it was open to at least the first 10,000 people, but that is all I know about registration. Hopefully someone else can provide you some better info!

Perfect game perspective: views from the stands
By Cecilio's Scribe on Aug 16, 2012 with Comments 0
I've never seen a perfect game in-person. I've never seen a no-hitter for that matter. I am the guy who is a lifelong Mets fan who was invited on a Friday night in June to watch Johan Santana and the Mets. I am the guy who declined. Allllrighty then!
Anyway, the point is that the drama around a no-hitter, and even moreso a perfect game, is tremendous. I was at work during yesterday's perfect matinee from King Felix and snuck off into a conference room for the final inning. Pure. Magic. And as good as it is to watch on TV, it has to be unforgettable in person. Luckily for us modern folk, the proliferation of camera-enabled smartphones, YouTube and the like, allow us to feel what it might be like from the stands. At least a little bit…
Our thanks to the following YouTube heroes who sacrificed (at least to some degree) rampant leaping and unbridled leg-shaking, high-fiving, chest-bumping and the like to capture video of the live event.

Hi Everyone! I was recently away on a weekend trip to Mexico! It was the first time I had visited the US's southern neighboring country! Though I live at the beach in California, the beaches in Mexico are so much more blue and tropical! Its always so fulfilling to escape and experience different cultures and countries! I had such a fabulous time.
I often take weekend trips, and whenever I do, I don't leave without my MCM trolley. Its the perfect, chic travel companion that keeps me smartly organized, and all my belongings safe and accessaable. See my other post here and here about other trips with my MCM trolley! I love that this trolly is gadget friendly - for me, just because I go away for a long weekends doesn't mean work stops. It neatly stores my laptop and other favorite gadgets in smart pockets and pouches.
I spent the majority of the time on the beach or at least on a chair facing the beach! Look at that tropical water!
Tortilla chips and salsa and Mexican Beer. The perfect combo on a hot Mexican afternoon.
Thank you so much for reading!

Don Van Vliet has passed away at age 69 due to complications from multiple sclerosis. Hailed as a genius by many rock critics, the avant-garde musician and painter was an inspiration to "alternative" artists like Beck and Sonic Youth. 1969′s Trout Mask Replica remains, as Entertainment Weekly puts it, an "essential art-rock document."

First up is an outfit that consists of a new make and a UFO: my newest Jasmine blouse and my Butterick 4552 trousers.
I had made the trousers several months back and ended up quite unhappy with the fit. The length was off, too, despite making the trouser version. After waiting in my UFO pile, I pulled them out a couple of weeks ago and did some significant tweaking. I deepened the front darts by 1/2 inch and the back ones by 1/4". I also added a 3" cuff, which made the length just perfect!!
I finished off the remainder of this great stretch denim with another pair of Butterick 2507 trousers (I also made my Meringue). After shortening the rise by 1", I had another winner! I am absolutely thrilled to have two reliable patterns blocks: one for slim fit and one for wide leg trousers. Yay, me!
I am really happy with my second Jasmine blouse. I absolutely adore this design and will be making a third over the next few months. It reminds me of something Audrey Hepburn would have worn. I love the polka dot fabric and I used bias tape to finish the inside of the collar, eliminating the facing.
On the Colette Patterns front, I finished my plaid Peony dress with modified Macaron sleeves. Now I just have to find the time to properly photograph it!
I really love this skirt, I must admit. I wore it to work one day and was stopped by several people who told me how much they loved it. Makes a girl feel special, doesn't it? I made it specifically to go with my beautiful Ava top from Tess Designs and I love how the two look together. It makes me yearn for warm weather so I can wear this outfit without freezing! In the meantime, the skirt works well paired with other tops and blouses from my closet.
I do have a lovely review post planned for all the amazing Tess Designs separates I am lucky enough to have in my wardrobe, I am just waiting on my photographer (aka Mr. Friday) to be free. I am thinking of the Royal Botanical Gardens, which has lovely indoor and outdoor facilities.
In knitting news, I cast on for the Sabine shrug. After nearly completing my St. James pullover, I realized that while very pretty, I don't wear pullovers. I am an unabashed lover of cardigans and shrugs. So, frogged the St. James will be and the yarn reused for another pattern.
February's Sew Colette project was the Pastille Dress. Mine is nearly finished after a few minor setbacks that were completely silly! All I have left to do is sew in the zip and hem it.
My Year-to-Date Handmades:
Skirts: 3
Trousers: 2
Dresses: 1
For March, I would like to make the following:
- Truffle Dress for the Sew Colette Sew-Along
- Mary's Armistice Blouse for That's Sew Cinematic
- Mary's Armistice Skirt for That's Sew Cinematic
- Marian Martin 9281 with long sleeves
- Simplicity 6903, View 1 for Miss Friday
What did you make in February? What are your plans for March? Do you set creative goals monthly or yearly?

Students at the San Francisco Studio School are seeking
an alternate to MFA study, are dedicated students at the
undergraduate level, or are students re-committing themselves
to a deep involvement with art. SFSS students
have different international and cultural backgrounds as
well as a variety of art school or other experience.
Seriousness of purpose and eagerness to engage the
school's program are defining criteria. The school is a
forum for interchange, the creation of art and a meaningful
exploration of individual vision. Attention is devoted to the
study of art rather than the preparation of a market-driven
art product or career making.
While students often have part time jobs and other obligations,
consistent work in relation to their studies is necessary
to make progress. With this in mind, each student's
weekly schedule is customized to the degree possible
while still ensuring significant depth in his/her studies.
Students attending degree-granting programs at either the undergraduate
or graduate level can participate in SFSS Fall or Winter programs for credit at
their home institution. Contact email@example.com for more information.
The curriculum at the San Francisco Studio School is focused on a meaningful encounter with the study of visual art. Therefore qualifications to the school is a highly individual one. If a student is drawn to the school's philosophy and program and is willing to commit to serious study, he or she is encouraged to inquire further or apply.
SFSS is unique. The facility -- a large beautifully lit studio,
a bright seminar room, painting racks and a kitchenette so
students can prepare lunches and dinners symbolize the
premise for the school. It is a place for work, for discourse
and for continuity of effort. That is why the facility is
open to Studio Program students 24/7.
The student is respected as an active participant in his or
her study. Each semester is structured around a theme
and that theme is made relevant to every student's individual
involvement. Students learn from each other as well as
from the multiple levels of the curriculum and faculty.
Workshops and other activities create opportunites for a
variety of experience.
Past students have won awards, had one-person shows,
published books and been represented in museums. But
that has been the result of their study, not the purpose of
it. What students at SFSS can expect is a strong commitment
to their development as visual artists, a well-stuctured
course of study, and a community of like-minded
individuals dedicated to sharing their commitment and excellence
in their work.
Call 415-398-4300 or email email@example.com for more information.

Giving to Park University
Ana Riojas Endowed Memorial Scholarship Gift
The Ana Riojas Endowed Memorial Scholarship was established in memory of Ana Riojas, '77 by her son, Carlos Riojas, the staff and friends of Able Employment and the Riojas family. For years to come, the endowed scholarship will provide Park University students with the educational opportunities that meant so much to Ana. Biographical Information Ana Riojas, who grew up in the Armourdale neighborhood in Kansas City, Kansas, believed in hard work and people's abilities. She was the second youngest of the seven children born to Fructoso and Cristina Riojas. Her father was a former Mexican Army officer and an immigrant from Mexico who worked for the Santa Fe Railroad, and her mother was a seamstress who went to work for and eventually became a supervisor at the Sunflower Army Ammunition Plant, a position unheard of at the time for a Hispanic woman. "Firsts" were not something that Ana ever feared. She would eventually experience many "firsts" in her lifetime. Ana thought some much of her parents that she had this inscribed on their 6 foot tall tombstone…"Dad had the vision, Mom had the guts".Ana did not begin her secondary education until the age of 34, married with two children, and living in St. Louis. When her marriage ended in divorce, she moved back to Kansas City, Kansas in 1971 with her two children, Maria, 6, and Carlos, 8.
She had to postpone her education and began working for Senator Robert Dole. She went on to become the executive director for the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare's four-state Indo-Chinese Refugee Resettlement Program. Four years after moving to Kansas City, she returned to school at Park College, taking a full 18-hour schedule while working her full-time job, and raising her family as a single mother. Her children recall Ana waking up just in time for class after she had collapsed in exhaustion after a full-day's work. She had her father's work ethic and wanted to make a difference. Ana pressed on and never gave up.
Ana graduated magna cum laude from Park in 1977 with a degree in Public Administration. Her son, Carlos, recalls,
Looking back on what she did is amazing by any standards."
She was elected Commissioner to the Board of Public Utilities in 1980 and served in this capacity until 1989. Ana was the first Hispanic woman elected to office by the people of Kansas City, Kansas. In the mid-eighties, she was intrigued by the private sector and went to work for E.F. Hutton as a stockbroker, quickly earning national honors for her production numbers. She decided to learn more about bond deals and went to work for George K. Baum, where something happened that she was not prepared for. She was terminated. Regardless of the circumstances, in her eyes, that was failure. Her distress and severe depression, from what she interpreted as failure, was the catalyst for her motivation and action. To deal with this change in her life, she threw herself and her passion into research on how to start and operate a business. Able Employment was created in 1988 with the mission of "Putting People to Work." She started a temporary employment company that quickly earned a reputation in Kansas City, and throughout the country, as a business that was a source for well-trained, hard-working employees that were dependable.
Her company, which began with four employees, began to take off in the early nineties. Working closely with the Small Business Administration and becoming certified as a minority, woman-owned business, Able Employment began earning large contracts with major employers and government agencies. Ana's wisdom and leadership created a direction for the company that was helping people find dignity and opportunities through employment. Ana was recognized with many honors and awards for her contributions to the business community.
Ana was active in the community, on a local and national level. Through her participation on the Board of Public Utilities and the Board of Directors of the American Public Power Association's Board of Directors she was able to help design public policy for public utilities in the United States and Canada. She served on the U.S. commission on Civil Rights, helping and leading communities in the implementation of viable and fair affirmative action policies. She was sympathetic to human needs. When Hurricane Andrew devastated the South, Ana mobilized an effort that collected and sent 2,400 gallons of water for victims in Florida and Louisiana. She quickly became a sought after motivational speaker by universities, middle and high schools, non-profits, government, and churches. But she never forgot who she was, where she came from or her incredible faith in God. She was an extremely hard worker who rarely took vacation. One of the only vacations that Ana Riojas ever took was to Cozumel, Mexico in March of 1997. Tragically, Ana died from injuries sustained from a moped accident while on that vacation.
Since Ana's death, her legacy, and mission, has been carried on by her son, Carlos, now president and CEO of Able Employment. Able employment is now a multi-million dollar company and one of the country's most successful Hispanic businesses that has helped thousands of people find jobs. Ana's smile, enthusiasm and passion for her company are still evident as the hallways and offices at Able Employment are filled with numerous photographs and award certificates. Ana was, and is, an inspiration to people young and old who believe in honor, a dedication to hard work and strive to find ways to overcome the most difficult of challenges.

First photo - I bought some bulbs labeled scilla that look the same so it might be that. Good place to start at least. I think the second one is rue - If it is, it's a great host plant for black swallowtails and giant swallowtails. Watch for caterpillars. Also watch about brushing up against it. It can give you a rash, especially if you're out in the sun afterwards. It reacts with the sun. There's a word for that but I don't remember what it is phyto...something I think. The third one might be brunnera (bugloss). What do the leaves look like? |
Thanks, Christie! I think you're right on all three. Funny thing is, I have a brunnera in my garden, but it's one with white-ish leaves and hasn't bloomed (just got it this spring) so they looked nothing alike. How do you like the scilla? I'm thinking it's be pretty in one of my part-shade sections. Does the foliage hold up all summer? |
- Posted by christie_sw_mo Z6 (My Page) on Fri, Apr 29, 11 at 8:35
I cut my scilla back after it bloomed like I do my daffodils but I don't know if I was supposed to. I don't know whether the foliage dies back. It's coming back every year (so far) which is a big plus for any kind of bulb. If you like the spikey foliage, variegated liriope is pretty too and will do well in shade. |
I have the plant in the first photo. I love it because it spreads a little not bad. I let the leaves die back and turn yellow. I don't know what it is but I call it wood hyacinth. I tried to order more and didn't know what to order to be sure of getting that plant. |
Helen, do you mean they die back and turn yellow in the summer like a lot of spring bulbs? |
I agree with the first two. I bought that scilla also, it was beautiful until the deer ate all the flowers. Sigh. Not sure that the last one is brunnera, it looks more like mysotis (forget-me-not). The leaves don't look quite right for brunnera. |
Here's a shot of the leaves. Based on pics I can't really tell. The leaves don't quite look like forget-me-nots. I've heard brunnera leaves change as summer goes on. Maybe it's that? <--far from an expert. :D |
I think I saw that plant today labeled brunnera. Yes the Spanish bluebells, scilla, wood hyacinths whatever are spring bulbs with foliage that dies back. |
OK that is brunnera. Big basal leaves with small top leaves where the flowers come out. Perennial Forget me not (mysotis) has more pointed leaves and no big basal leaves. |
Helen, thanks for that info. I'm glad I didn't get any as I have no place for something like that right now. Peggie, I LOVE your brunnera set-up. What's that growing at the base of the pot? Mosswitch, that's kind of what I was thinking based on pics and my own brunnera. |
Oops Brunnera! I will have to get the picture of it actually blooming next spring. Babies tears are growing up the pot but will get less aggressive with the summer heat. Once established here it can take dry shade. It isn't suppose to be hardy in my zone 9 but persists in protected areas which works out. In the right zone it is invasive and hated. It makes a wonderful easy ground cover for me. In your zone you could put it in a pot you plan to drag into cover for the winter. My lime I drag in shares with diamond frost euphorbia. I take cuttings in spring and spread the frost around the yard. |
Thanks Peggy. It really is gorgeous. I'm too lazy to drag stuff in and out. |

I've been working on this radio documentary for a bit over a year. The journey started with TEDxNOLA where I heard David Waggoner speak about opening up waterways in New Orleans. Now the script is close to finalization, and the fundraising is well underway. Thanks to all of you who have supported this project in multiple ways.
I think the idea is a great one, but of course you could not do the whole city, the garden center would never agree for instance. Instead of a Streetcar named desire it might be a Gondola named greed.
Yeah. The plan calls for uncovering the outflow canals that are currently paved over, for example. So I don't think it would involve carving up brand new canals where there are roads or homes or something now.

text: All About the FAFSA Process The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the most important financial aid form you will need to complete. It is important to use the most accurate information as possible when completing your FAFSA since the information you report is used by the Department of Education and Drexel University to determine your Expected Family Contribution and eligibility for federal and institutional need-based awards. How to File a FAFSA You can complete FAFSA in one of the following ways: Online at at the FAFSA web site. Complete and mail in a paper application. Over the phone with a Department of Education counselor at 1-800-433-3243 (TTY Line for Hearing impaired is 1-800-730-8913) Drexel Central recommends that you file your FAFSA online in order to make the process as efficient and timely as possible. In order to complete the FAFSA online, you and your parent (if you are a dependent student) will need to first retrieve your Personal Identification Number (PIN). The FAFSA application is specific to an academic year, so you will need to make sure you are completing the correct version of the application. New FAFSA applications become available online at the beginning of January (for example, the FAFSA for the 2013-2014 academic year was made available on January 1, 2013). What to Report on the FAFSA Personal Information You will need to provide some basic personal information on your FAFSA that includes: Full legal name Date of Birth Social Security Number Citizenship Status - (only U.S. Citizens, permanent residents and certain visa holders are eligible to complete a FAFSA) Mailing Address E-mail Address Driver's License (optional) In order for Drexel Central to match your FAFSA information to your university record, the spelling of your name, your date of birth and social security on your FAFSA must match what is listed in Drexel's system. If there is a discrepancy, you will need to resolve the issue with either Drexel Central or the Department of Education to ensure that your FAFSA data can be processed appropriately. Dependency Status What information you need to include on your FAFSA depends upon whether you are considered a dependent or independent student. Dependent students are required to submit information about one or both parents on the FAFSA. Independent students are not required to submit parental information. However, independent students who are married are required to submit information about their spouse. Your dependency status is determined by your answers to the dependency questions on the FAFSA. It is extremely important that you answer the dependency questions correctly as it has a significant impact on the financial aid you can receive. In order to be considered an independent student, you must meet one of the following criteria as determined by the Department of Education: As of the start of the calendar year, you be at least 24 years old You are currently married You are or will be a graduate or professional (medical or law) student for the upcoming year You are a veteran You are an active duty military personnel You have children that receive more than 50% of their financial support from you You have dependents that receive more than 50% of their financial support from you You are an orphan You are a ward-of-the-court You are in a legal guardianship with someone who is not your biological or adoptive parent(s) You are an emancipated minor as determined by the courts Before you turned 18, you were deemed to be at risk of homelessness If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are considered an independent student. Medical students who intend to apply for scholarships or would like to be considered for the Primary Care Loan still need to provide information on their FAFSA even though you are considered an independent student. If your answers to all of the dependency questions are no, then you are considered a dependent student and must provide information about your parents on the FAFSA. If you answered no to all of the dependency questions but have special circumstances that prevent you from providing information about your parents, you will need to contact Drexel Central to discuss your situation. Parental Information If you are a dependent student, you must provide information about your parents on your FAFSA. However, your parents' marital status determines what information you are to provide: Parents' Marital Status What Information to Provide Parents are married Provide information on both parents Parents are divorced or separated Provide information on your custodial parent; your custodial parent is the parent you will live with for more than 50% of the academic year. If you will live with both parents for an equal amount of time, provide information on the parent that provided more than 50% of your financial support in the past year. Parents are divorced and re-married Provide information on your custodial parent AND your step-parent Parent is widow or single Provide information on your custodial parent only. Financial and Tax Information The FAFSA requires that you provide tax and other financial information for yourself and your parents (if you are a dependent student) or your spouse (if you are married). The online FAFSA application provides a helpful tool that allows you to ensure the accuracy of the tax information you are providing in a faster, more efficient way. The IRS Data Retrieval Tool provides you and your parents or spouse the ability to have your prior year's tax information transferred directly to the FAFSA, without you having to manually enter in the information yourself. Drexel Central strongly recommends that you use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to ensure the accuracy of the information you are reporting. If you do not or are unable to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you will need to collect the following documentation for all individuals you are reporting information for: Prior year's tax returns Prior year's W2s (End of Year Wage Statements from your employer) Additionally, you may be required to report information that is not reported on tax returns such as: Value of investment and bank accounts as of the month you are filing your FAFSA Housing and Living Allowance received from military or clergy Non-education VA Benefits Child Support Received or Paid Payments to Tax-deferred Pensions Untaxed Income Cash Received or Bills paid on your behalf The online FAFSA application provides helpful hints and information for how to retrieve all information requested. You can also contact a FAFSA representative if you have any difficulty completing your application at 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). Finalizing Your FAFSA You will need to provide Drexel University's Federal School Code in order for your FAFSA to be received and processed by the University. Drexel's school code is 003256. If you attended another university or already completed a FAFSA but did not originally list Drexel's school code, you will need to update your application with Drexel's school code. You will also need to sign your FAFSA in order for the Department of Education to process it and send the information to Drexel University. If you are a dependent student, then one of the parents listed on your FAFSA will also need to sign the application. If you are completing the form online, you and your parent can sign the FAFSA electronically using your PIN. Student Aid Report The Department of Education typically takes 3-5 business days to fully process your FAFSA once you have submitted a complete application. Once your FAFSA is fully processed, you will receive a Student Aid Report (SAR) that will indicate any issues with your application and your potential next steps. If there are any errors or issues that you need to resolve you will need to follow the instructions listed on the SAR to correct them. Your Student Aid Report will also include your Expected Family Contribution as calculated by the Department of Education. The information that is reported on your SAR is also sent to the schools you listed on your FAFSA. Drexel University should receive your FAFSA data at the same time you recieve your SAR. Filing a Renewal FAFSA Each year you plan to continue at Drexel you will need to complete a new FAFSA. The online FAFSA application automatically saves your demographic information from prior years and allows you pull this information into your new FAFSA application, reducing the amount of questions you need to answer. The option to use this feature will be presented to you when you log in to the FAFSA web site. FAFSA Filing Deadlines In order to be considered for all types of financial aid programs, students must complete the FAFSA by the deadlines listed below: Student Type Deadline New Students starting in Spring or Summer of 2015 Same as Admissions Application Deadline New Students Starting in Fall of 2015 March 2, 2015 New Students Starting in Winter, Spring or Summer of 2015 Same as Admissions Application Deadline All Continuing Students March 2, 2015

Hey, watch out. Don't swing in here. Don't swing in here.
The movie is so much fun.
Thank you.
And obviously after talking to Andy I was really impressed with how cool this thing he was. Why did you want to do that stuff practically?
Well, I think at the beginning of the process I was trying to think of how to reignite interest in Spiderman, and how can I approach it in a different in any way, and I think that we are emerging from the baroque era of filming where everything is possible, and even though I really--I mean in the set in particular, we really do use CGI in a pretty aggressive way. I wanna start off the movie with a more naturalistic approach to the action, and [unknown] was really an instrument in helping to develop that and really take the lead in developing that, because they think that when you do something physically, it puts restraints on you and that those--the audience, I think, recognizes that feeling and starts to understand that language and it becomes--it just feels more real, you feel more connected to the action.

I use this product almost everyday and find it works really well. The tip works great and the eyeliner is extremely noticeable, unlike pencil eyeliners.
I have blonde hair which can make the black stand out almost too much, so I definitely recommend that if you have blonde hair to stay away from the Blackest Black and stick with just Black. It truly does make a difference.

I found that the pigmentation is great and very black but the liner starts to flake out during the day. Also, the liner in the bottle dries out quickly and after awhile the liner starts to get stringy or clumpy. I did enjoy the applicator though. I was very soft and flexible and i thought it was very easy to use. I did use all the product because I didn't want to waste it but I wouldn't repurchase.
The pigmentation is pretty good, but the brush is too... soft and bendable for me. There wasn't any obnoxious smells, texture felt smooth, and it dries quickly. It did not last all day, half of my eyeliner was flaking (I have oily eyelids by the way). It would last about 4-5 hours.
It removes pretty easily, just with water. However, I didn't like it at all.
This eyeliner has a 3.7 average rating so it means a lot of people on here genuinely like it, which makes me wonder if I'm crazy to NOT like it at all. Sure when I first apply it the colour pigmentation is amazing, and I love the glossy look, and the tip applicator is relatively easy to use, but this is where it ends for me. I don't think this product wears for any more than 2 hours! I admit, I do have watery eyes and I do like to rub them from time to time during the day, but this stuff is just sooo easy to rub off. I can put a finger on it and gently swipe over it and I can see the trail of smudgy blackness across my face. I work in a cool office so there is no reason for this product to fade away so fast on me. Prior to this product I used Revlon Colorstay eyeliner and I found that it didn't have great staying power either, but the one thing it had on this eyeliner is that at least it didn't rub away so ugly. Like, I'm talking raccoon eyes. The last straw for me is the fact that it irritates my eyes whenever some happens to spill into my eyes when it gets teary. It burns! This has never happened to me with any other brands. I am going to go back to my trusty L'Oreal Linear Intense.

Hard to apply & it's pretty dry but it's still a good product & I'd buy it again.
*Darkest Black is the PERFECT black.
*If I apply it in the morning I don't have to reapply till the evening. (I usually will have done a lot through out the day if I apply it in the morning)
*Easy glide
*Easy to create a dramatic look
*Bottle doesn't last very long
*Have to dip a few times to get a dark line (which is annoying when you are trying to get one even stroke on your eye)
*Hard to create a super thin line because the tip is a little thick
I bought this years ago and only recently started using it semi-regularly, which may be why I have issues with this product. I quite like the packaging and the applicator, which makes this easy to apply--take it from someone who can't draw an even line to save her life. This dries quickly and doesn't smudge, but it flakes off throughout the day and you wind up with random gaps in your liner. As mentioned, this is an old bottle, which may be to blame. The color is very black, but dries too shiny for my taste--I prefer the matte look of gel or creme liner.
I bought this in brown black and blackest black. I wanted a brown for those days where I didn't want anything too dramatic. The brown is "OK". I wish it were more of a darker brown, but it's decent. I haven't tried the black yet. The felt tip applicator is not great. i don't find that I can create a thin line. I have small eyes and the end of the felt tip is kinda big (for me). This liner also doesn't really have great lasting power. I wore it for a few hours and noticed how "non waterproof" it is. Any tear that falls on the liner it smudges extremely easily! It was pretty affordable -$6 at Walmart, but I won't be repurchasing this again. My search for the perfect long wearing liquid eyeliner continues!!
just bought this today from CVS for about $8.30. I don't know if I bought a faulty one, but it was pretty dry and hard to apply. Even after I shook it, it did not apply smoothly and was still dry. very disappointed :(
Best eyeline ever! I can get a really dark black precise line. It is a little shiny, and not matt - but I like that look.
It stays on all day, just try not to cry a river, or else it'll smudge hehe.
EDIT: Changed from 5 to 3 lippies. I now use the maybelline mega gloss liquid liner and it's so much better. Because it doesn't have a felt tip I feel I have more control over it.

Adoree Adkisson, 11, (front) cheers during a game in the Gary (Ind.) Community School Corp.'s annual Basketball Jamboree at West Side Leadership Academy on Nov.17, 2012. | Stephanie Dowell~Sun-Times Media
Breakout text.
It's not every day that middle school and high school students can be mentors, and in a most unusual, fun way to boot.
Such was the case recently when students from elementary school to high school played in the Gary Community School Corp.'s annual Basketball Jamboree at West Side Leadership Academy.
"I started this event back in the 1980s," said city Athletic Director Earl Smith Jr. "It was a way to get all the kids involved and help them prepare for the future."
He added that the middle and high school players also act as mentors for the elementary students. Indeed, the elementary coaches suggested that players stay after their games to watch and learn from the older players.
Middle school student D'shaun Lanear, 13, was glad he and his teammates could mentor the younger players. In turn, he also enjoyed their games.
"It's great to watch the little kids having so much fun," Lanear said. "And they're also learning the importance of teamwork."
The GCSC kept up the tradition by making it an annual event that has become very popular. The elementary schools were added to the mix five years ago.
"This gives the players confidence to see people cheering them on, especially the younger ones," said Gary schools sports medicine tech Freida Green as she watched the large crowd streaming in the West Side gym. "And participation gives them the basic fundamentals of how sports teams work."
Eleven-year-old Michael Worthy's mother, Victoria, agreed as she watched her son playing on the Lighthouse team.
"He was so excited to play in this game; he's very interested in basketball," she said. "It gives him a chance to work with his teammates and also to meet kids from the other schools."
With the elementary schools taking the floor for the first game of the morning, families, friends students and others gave their rapt attention.
"I don't have kids in school anymore, but I ... keep up with Gary sports," said James White of Hammond. "When we lived in Gary, I went to all the basketball games — even the ones my son wasn't playing in. He went with me, too; I think he wanted to see if there was something he could take back to his team."
Boys and girls teams from each school competed in the event. Elementary school participants were Williams, Jefferson, Banneker, Brunswick, Aspire, Bailly, Glen Park Academy, Marquette, Lighthouse 1, Lighthouse 2, and McCullough; middle school teams were Roosevelt, Wallace, West Side, Pulaski, Dunes, Lead, Wirt-Emerson, Lighthouse 1, Lighthouse 2, Aspire, 21st Century, Embassies, Banneker, Pulaski and McCullough; and high schools were 21st Century, Roosevelt, Wallace, West Side and Michigan City.

noun \ˈpik-səl, -ˌsel\: any one of the very small dots that together form the picture on a television screen, computer monitor, etc.
Full Definition of PIXEL
Origin of PIXEL
Rhymes with PIXEL
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Smallest resolved unit of a video image that has specific luminescence and colour. Its proportions are determined by the number of lines making up the scanning raster (the pattern of dots that form the image) and the resolution along each line. In the most common form of computer graphics, the thousands of tiny pixels that make up an individual image are projected onto a display screen as illuminated dots that from a distance appear as a continuous image. An electron beam creates the grid of pixels by tracing each horizontal line from left to right, one pixel at a time, from the top line to the bottom line. A pixel may also be the smallest element of a light-sensitive device, such as cameras that use charge-coupled devices (see CCD).

And now he gets to relearn the mountain he calls "the Mothership" in a whole new way: on a 'board. "I'm definitely seeing Buttermilk in a refreshing light," he says. But his all-time favorite run hasn't changed. "It's Javelin, over on the Tiehack side," he says. "It's got a real nice, consistently steep pitch, and it's always groomed to perfection. Real nice rolling, and there's a couple of big lone trees kind of scattered on the run. And every time I'm on it, it seems like I'm by myself." Next to Javelin is another of his top picks, Racer's Edge, which he considers to be the toughest run on the mountain. "Depending on conditions, you never know what it's going to throw at you," Semple says. "It's unbelievable."
Semple feels the same way about a cruiser run he links together. "Start at Buckskin, which takes you from the top and runs into Magic Carpet. That takes you all the way down to the bottom of lower Tiehack." A few other cruises he likes: Red's Rover, over on West Buttermilk, Ridge Trail and Jacob's Ladder. "There's also a nice network of tree trails," Semple says. "Mr. Bill and Devil's Gut are both faves of mine." And he calls Bear Jump a classic. "There's a single aspen up there that is scarred with bear-claw marks," he says. "Stop there and take the Bear Jump from there. If you start way higher up from there, you can do some great tricks, 'cause there's always lots of deep, deep snow." Semple says the deepest snow and secret powder stashes, however, are to be found in Timberdoodle Glade. "It's one of those glades where, if you fall in, we will never find you."
It's not hard to find what Semple says is the best-selling sandwich shop around. Called Johnny McGuire's (730 East Cooper Avenue), this deli is an old VW Bug with a pickle on top. "It's pretty popular with the younger crowd," Semple says. He adds that everyone thinks the Hickory House (730 West Main) smokes, with its casual, truck-stop atmosphere, and ditto for the Main Street Bakery (01 East Main). "You can hardly get in the door, it's always so crowded at Main Street," he says. He thinks he probably eats most often, though, at Takah Sushi (420 East Hyman Avenue). "The owner is the hostess," he says, "and she is just the most beautiful person, really warm and friendly. And it's great to see the sushi chefs out skiing on the mountain all the time." For Italian, he loves the early specials at the Italian Caviar--"Heavy on the garlic," he adds--and in the space above it, the Tippler (535 Dean) is a must for Tuesday-night disco. "It's one of the things you just can't miss," he says. Also at night, the Flying Dog Brewpub (424 East Cooper Avenue) is a good bet to find locals, but he personally prefers the more sophisticated scene in the bar at the Hotel Jerome (330 East Main). "I guess I'm getting old," he sighs.
When he does stay out late, the Popcorn Wagon is the after-hours site. "They have awesome spinach crepes and these fried pita-bread things filled with vegetables," Semple says. "And they've got a killer chili dog and a flaming chocolate crepe. And, as you can imagine, there's a pretty raucous crowd."

Copper Mountain Resort
Shawna Martin credits her boyfriend, Seth Lawrence, with making it possible for her to ski at Copper for the past three years--Lawrence's parents live in Frisco, and when the snow starts coming down, Martin goes to live with the Lawrences for a few months. "Seth stays in Denver, where we have this groovy apartment," Martin says. "He drives up on the weekends, and it's great." Martin is a housepainter, so she works only during the warmer months. "When I'm working, though, I'm really working," she says. "I put in fourteen-hour days, and I only take a day off every few weeks. I just schedule the jobs back-to-back."
The work pays off in more ways than one, however: The grueling task of painting houses inside and out puts her in powerful shape to ski Copper nearly every day during the season. And she says she needs extra energy to take on the trees in Spaulding Bowl. "When there's fresh powder," Martin says, "that area is stashed-out. In all those tight trees you get pockets of fluffy stuff, especially at the top of Spaulding Glades, where the wind will push it in." She adds that you can get into some good trees to skier's left of Far East, where she likes the workout on this black diamond that she says is best early in the season, and she also relishes popping into 17 Glade, off Collage.

Volvo S70 Lights
Posts: 1
I have a Volvo S70-T5 1999. The coolant level light stays on constantly, eventhough the level is fine in the reservoir. The thermostat has been changed. Are there any sensors that may be bad and where are they?
studbutter Posts: 7We had this same light come on in our '99 S70 base. There's a coolant level sensor built into the bottom of the coolant reservoir bottle -- the dealership's mechanic evidently plugged it back in and it hasn't been a problem since.
The sensor and reservoir are a unit, though, and it's about an $80 part if it needs replaced. -
thehats00 Posts: 2Here's an FYI to everyone who has had this problem. I have read countless posts and followed much useful advice. I changed the temp sensor, the fan control relay, the maf sensor and the fan ran continuously. I finally found that none of these parts had been bad. When changing the temp sensor, I failed to notice the tremendous amount of corrosion inside the positive terminal of the sensor connector. Cleaned this, put dielectric grease on it and it sured the hard starting, the fan running and the lack of boost from the turbo. $250 in un-needed parts and several hour in wasted labor all because of corrosion in a connector. Always check the simple things first! Hope this helps.

Completing 20 years in the fashion industry calls for a huge celebration, like JJ Valaya's recent do in the capital. In fact, instead of having one big bash, he's planning to turn the whole year into a party, starting with the launch of his financial calendar.
The fashion fraternity came to congratulate him on the launch of the calendar, the models for which were his friends from the industry, including Sunil Sethi, Rahul Dev, Rakesh Thakore and Manish Arora, among others. Valaya told us, "I don't know how 20 years have passed - it seems like just yesterday... We do calendars every year, but since this year is special, I thought we'd give it a little twist. They've all been my friends since forever, so shooting it was fun."
Fun friends: We spotted JJ's nephew Gobind with his fiancee Aakriti, and when we asked him if he was stressed about the preparations for his November wedding, he told us, "Not at all!" Like a good host, Valaya took everyone who came to the do to look at the calender, shot by Tarun Khiwal. Tarun told us, "It took us four days to shoot for this calender. These guys are so much fun to work with."

X-Ide signature colors and stylistic details
A collection with a strong personality characterized by meticulous details
Know-how and all-Italian taste are at the basis of the new X-IDE collection presented by Immagine98 at MIDO14. As always, it is a collection with a strong personality characterized by style and meticulous technical details. With color combinations and the continued use of avant-garde materials, the new collection includes 13 vision models in plastic, metal or combinations, 2 kids' models and 5 models with sun lenses. For a year, the brand's stylistic and technological research has focused on the development of temples with a special sheath in silicone, a material that has excellent qualities and can be used for very amusing creative solutions with the incredible soft touch. In this respect, a step ahead was taken this year with the decision to apply to the temples not just one sheath but three different silicone coatings so that we could play with the resulting color effects. The outcome: eyewear that is always playful, colorful, cheerful and fresh.
Stitching with nylon thread on a steel front is back: a style and color choice in two variants – tone-on-tone for a softer effect or high impact contrasting colors! This hand-stitched eyewear totally conveys a capacity for absolutely unique craftsmanship and the combination of technical ability with artistic talent. Some models incorporate important technology that includes covering metal parts with transparent resin. This completely innovative technique gives the visual effect of metal but the comfort and feel of plastic.
Maximum creative expression – a cross between cubism and design – is found in two new models with several levels of milled plastic that is laminated specifically to obtain the desired color. Unusual and amusing effects are created by this play of levels and colors. The X-IDE collection also makes room for a small series of models dedicated to teens – eyewear in sizes and with calibers that are suitable for smaller faces and in the colors and materials that are most suitable for this age group. The collection is completed with a capsule collection of 5 sun models with strong personalities. Bright colors and details of exceptionally high quality are combined with mirrored or graduated sun lenses that are either tone-on-tone with the frame or in a contrasting color. There's no longer any need to show the logo: X-IDE is instantly recognizable because of its signature details that don't go unnoticed.

Facts about Big Momma sweetheart! VIDEO
- Breed: Burmese
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- ID#: A239878 Pasadena
- Hair: Short
Big Momma sweetheart! VIDEO's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and not good with cats.
Big Momma is a big love! She loves every person she meets, loves to sit on your lap, loves to be pet, loves to be brushed, loves to be loved! She is at the shelter through no fault of her own - her person passed away. Big Momma does need a big diet -- she is a big girl and it would be healthier for her to get on a exercise plan too. While Big Momma LOVES people (and food) she's not too thrilled about other cats. She'd prefer to be your one and only pet. She is 9 years old and spayed, so she can go home with you right away!

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Big Momma sweetheart! VIDEO, a Los Angeles Burmese cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Burmese for sale in Los Angeles, or seeking a Burmese cat from a breeder in Los Angeles.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Los Angeles already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Los Angeles breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Burmese breeders who help with Burmese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Los Angeles paves the way for another one to be saved.
