Inside the Box
Inside we find that you simply couldn't ask for things to be packed any better. Everything is well protected on all sides.
As expected, the I/O specification label is present on the top of the unit. As you can see, the power supply is finished in a dark glossy color somewhere between a very dark grey and black.
Both sides feature the same logo, with one side being inverted.
Maximum ventilation is available on the back of the Dark Power Pro 10 1200W power supply along with the on/off rocker switch and AC input.
This gives you a great look at the built-in vibration dampeners to reduce noise from the power supply.
All of the modular connectors are labeled for your convenience.
Towards the bottom we find the SilentWings fan that cools the unit being protected by the fan grill that is different than most.
Modular cables are most certainly available in quantity here. Though you may not be able to utilize all of them at the same time, the different cables allow you to reduce unused connectors inside your case.
Also included in the box are reusable Velcro cable ties, zip ties, the fan cables if you wish to power your fans directly off the PSU, and two sets of mounting screws. Note that you will have to utilize the included screws due to the anti-vibration mounts on the back of the power supply. The included screws are longer to accommodate this.
Also included are what are referred to as the Overclocking Keys or OCK. The one on the left is simply a jumper than you can use if you don't want to take up an expansion slot on the back of the case. The other performs the same function, but can be switched on and off at will via the back of the computer. These OCK's are how you change the power supply from a quad rail unit to a single rail unit. We will be testing our unit with the jumper installed.
Rounding out the contents of the box are the user manual and AC power cord. Don't worry about the connector on ours as it came from overseas. If you order from Newegg, it will contain the proper power cable.

Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › About the College › News Events and Publications › News › Evolutionary biologist, author of "Finding Your Inner Fish" speaks at TU
Friday, November 07, 2008
The Norman M. Hulings Memorial Lecture, hosted by the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, will feature evolutionary biologist Neil Shubin as its speaker, at 7:00 p.m., November 7 in the Great Hall in the Allen Chapman Activity Center on the TU campus. In addition to recognizing the 80th anniversary of the College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, the lecture is being held in conjunction with the bicentennial celebration of Charles Darwin's birth—the "Darwin Year."
Shubin has scoured the globe researching the evolutionary origin of anatomical features of animals, and has found new fossils that change the way we think about many of the key transitions in evolution. These discoveries have emerged from his expeditions to Greenland, the High Arctic of Canada, Argentina, China, Morocco, Nova Scotia and the deserts of the United States. In 2006, he announced in the journal Nature the startling discovery of the fossil remains of Tiktaalik roseae, a newly discovered species that has been called a "missing link" between fish and land animals.
In Shubin's book, Your Inner Fish: A Journey into the 3.5-Billion-Year History of the Human Body, he traces the evolutionary transition between life in water and life on land in order to answer the question, "Why do we look the way we do?" The answers to this question come from seemingly strange places: from the bodies, fossils and DNA of everything from microbes to worms and fish. Together with DNA, new fossils are giving scientists surprising insights into the human body. Following the lecture, Shubin will be signing copies of his book, which is available at local bookstores.
Shubin's work has enjoyed growing exposure in popular culture. He has been named an ABC Person of the Week and appeared as a good-humored guest on the Colbert Report.
"His lecture promises to be informative and engaging," said Mark Buchheim, TU associate professor of biological science. "The biology and geosciences departments at TU are planning additional Darwin Year events for the spring, and Shubin's presentation will be a great way to kick off the celebration."
Shubin is provost of academic affairs at the Field Museum in Chicago and also a paleontologist and the associate dean of organismal and evolutionary biology, and the Robert R. Bensley Professor at the University of Chicago. Author of numerous scientific papers, he has received a variety fellowships and awards including a Miller Research Fellowship, Guggenheim Fellowship, The Berlin Prize and ABC News Person of the Week.
The Norman M. Hulings Memorial Lecture was named to honor the late TU alumnus and longtime executive with ONEOK and Oklahoma Natural Gas Co.

GREAT idea! I love food trucks. Looking forward to following along.
Off the Grid in San Francisco and the Summer Food Truck Challenge
It's very clear to me the first time I remember hearing the term "off the grid." It has become a frequently used cliche in the Terminator movies. Like so many phrases and words I've picked up, I'm sure I first tested it out with my parents so that I didn't lose any cool points with friends. The first time I did this was when I was a little boy and I wanted to practice cursing. Needless to say, it didn't go according to plan. This time, I'm sure it went a little something like this: "Hey mom, I'm going to the movies. I'll be off the grid for a bit." Several years later, it's not quite as cool to say "off the grid." It would certainly make my A-list of cliche phrases I really don't have to hear anymore. However, that was until I recently heard about an event in San Francisco called Off the Grid.
Off the Grid is the ultimate cure to my food dilemma. You see, I like food and when I want a certain type of food, I want it right then and there. I want to just step outside of my door, walk a couple blocks and it be like a big carnival of my favorite food and drinks. I'm first greeted by the bakery, where I grab a Nutella Crepe for now and a red velvet cupcake to-go for a late night snack. Next door is an Irish pub, where I enjoy a little footie, talk about our golf games with the locals, and enjoy a fresh pint of Guinness. I can hop across the street for a slice of NYC-style pizza or step next door for a couple fish tacos. I walk the back way home, which takes me past the beignet cafe, which I pick up a few for breakfast the next morning. I can hear some of you now: "But, Spencer, that's nothing more than a glorified mall food court." Um, no. Have you eaten at a mall food court lately. I don't even know if that's chicken I'm eating.
Is this wishful thinking? Maybe. Possibly. Probably. However, I found the next best thing with Off the Grid in San Francisco. I don't even know how I found out about Off the Grid. I just remember hearing the following terms: Marina District, Golden Gate Bridge, on the water, food trucks. I was sold. As I headed over to Off the Grid, I began walking through the park, approaching the top of the hill of Fort Mason where I could hear music below. It was like a scene from a movie. I was like Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, approaching the crest that looks down into Helm's Deep, as he prepared to pillage the orcs down below. The only thing left would be some empty paper baskets, some lingering hot sauce, and a couple solo plastic cups.
On the horizon, the sun set behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Below, tucked between the piers and just off from the water was a bustling lot, filled with food truck after food truck that formed a square fortress. I climbed down the rugged mountain walked down the stone steps that zigzagged down to the pearly gates tented entrance. As I approached the entrance, I was greeted with "Welcome to heaven Off the Grid." I tried to limit my usage of terms like y'all and you'ens, but imagine my accent still rang thick even when I responded with: "Why thank you."
On the evening I was at Off the Grid, a Friday, I estimate there were 20-25 food vendors. They do smaller events throughout the week, but the main event is every Friday evening at Fort Mason in the Marina District, taking place from 5-10 p.m. My recommendation is to take a couple laps before ordering anything. See what people are eating, take a look at the menus, grab a beer or cocktail, and scout things out. Unless you've fasted for a week, which I don't recommend, you're probably not going to try everything. Keep an eye out on the lines. The longest waits I had, were the best food I ate. My first Off the Grid event included a taco, empanada, and pork dumplings. There were also a couple local bands playing, including a cool, funky jazz band. I was riding solo, but I would consider going with a group of friends or even a Friday night starter with a date. Fresh local food, drinks, and live music. What's not to love?
That now brings me to the great 2011 summer food truck challenge. I arrive in San Francisco the first week of June to call the bay area home. I have challenged myself to eat from every food truck in San Francisco this summer. Off the Grid's website lists nearly 50 vendors. I'll start with that list and start checking them off as I eat. I'll be writing about my experiences from time to time. Some of the foods I'm already excited about include cupcakes, steamed buns, fish tacos, Korean BBQ, and lobster rolls. "But Spencer, aren't you going to get fat eating all of that food." No. Have you seen the streets of San Francisco I'll be walking up and down? Also, I imagine eating street food is better than eating McDonalds a few times a week and I see "healthy" people walk in there all the time.
So who's with me? Has anyone ever tried something like this, but maybe in another city? Many stories, photos, and videos still to come as I tackle San Francisco's food truck scene this summer.

I'm not sure why but food truck food always seems to trump their brick & mortar counterparts. Maybe it's because they feel obliged to experiment. Whatever the reason I always seem to gravitate to a taco truck or what have you.
I didn't know about the Ft Mason gathering. That's cool. There's another one that happens on weekends in the summer in the Mission, on the dead end at Valencia and McCoffin. So quaint and so good.
Thanks for this piece Spencer. And great use of the strikethrough. Long live alternative punctuation!
OMG, I would love this so much. My favorite Burlington festival used to be the Chew Chew Festival–dozens of restaurants set up booths and you'd purchase small portions of their best dishes. LOVED it. Unfortunately, it got cancelled because it wasn't making enough money (it often rained that weekend).
My mouth is watering! I'll take your word for the quality and look forward to your reports! It also sounds like so much fun! Sometimes I think dining out has become way too serious a thing. This reminds me of the stalls and trucks we have here for fiestas and carnivals, and there is one of those going on almost every weekend somewhere on the island, not the choice you have there, but fresh and tasty…..and fun!
I was always a bit afraid of the idea of food trucks but my brother worked in the Tri-Cities (in WA) for a summer and he fell in love with the taco trucks there. I am going to make him take me to them this summer and then you can take me to Off the Grid (or at least tell me how to get there) when I'm in San Fran this summer!
FAB idea, Spencer! I sometimes wish that Banff had food trucks, but I have no idea where they would park! I'm tempted to eat at every locally owned restaurant here in Banff this summer, but the cost is keeping me home eating spaghetti. Haha
I can't wait to read about your Food Truck Challenge -on a full stomach so I don't get hungry!!
What an awesome idea! I love desserts, but am vegetarian, although I have a suspicion that this is not an issue in SF. May the force be with you!
Good luck!!!
I would love to try something like this in LA (where food trucks are hipster mecca at the moment!) but there are just too many to follow (someone reckons well over 100) and tons are popping up all the time as fast as others are already going out of business.
No one could ever keep up. Which is why I am sending you a hearty GOOD LUCK!
I think there are Apps that you can put in your address and they will let you know what trucks are in your area! This would be perfect for your challenge!

Leave the sugar and flour in the pantry -- you won't need them for this sweet project. Instead, make a mini paper cake for your youngster for an engaging activity that's a little out of the ordinary. Once you have the pieces cut out and glued together, the next step involves decorating it. Get creative with assorted odds and ends, and your toddler or preschooler can enjoy adding bright color and texture to the cake.
Items you will need
- Small round plate
- Large sheet of poster board
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Ruler
- White glue
- Clothespin
- Ribbons
- Sequins
- Poster paints
- Paintbrush
Place the plate onto the sheet of poster board and trace around it twice with the pencil to make the top and the bottom of the cake. Cut out the cake pieces with the scissors.
Measure the diameter of the circles with the ruler. Now it's time to use your high school geometry. Remember Pi -- 3.14? You're going to need Pi to make your cake. Multiply the diameter of the circles by 3.14 to get the circumference around the circles. For example, if the circle diameter was 5.25 inches, then 5.25 times 3.14 equals 16.48 inches. Add about 1/2 inch to this measurement to enable you to overlap the ends and glue, so your circumference would be roughly 17 inches.
Draw a piece of poster board with a length that is the calculated circumference and a width that is as high as you want your cake, perhaps about 3 inches. Cut out your long rectangle.
Squeeze out a line of glue along the very edge of one of the circles and squeeze out a line of glue onto one of the short edges of the rectangle.
Form the rectangle into a circular shape so it will become the sides of the cake. As you adjust the rectangle, overlap the short edges by about 1/2 inch. Position the shaped rectangle onto the glue on the circle and adjust it so it fits onto the edge of the circle precisely.
Snap the clothespin over the overlapped edges of the rectangle where you glued them to hold the ends in place while the glue dries. You'll have to hold the rectangle onto the circle for about 10 minutes until the glue sets enough to hold the paper in place. Leave the paper drying for about 30 minutes until the glue dries completely and then remove the clothespin.
Squeeze out another line of glue along the very edge of the other circle. Position the circle onto the top of the glued rectangle so it becomes the top of the cake. Hold the circle in place for about 10 minutes while the glue dries and then leave the cake alone for another 30 minutes while the glue dries completely.
Help your little one decorate her cake. Stretch a length of ribbon around the side of the cake and glue it into place. Glue sequins to the top of the cake. Encourage her to get a little crazy with paints and the paint brush to add vivid colors to her cake.
- Remind your little one to handle her cake with care. As long as you glued it well, it should hold up to gentle handling, but it would certainly crush without too much force.

AB De Villiers
Abraham Benjamin De Villiers, the protean from Pretoria celebrates his 27th birthday today. He is one of the most gifted cricketers ever, who is very much at ease against the pace and the spin. A golfer, tennis player, rugby player and of course a cricketer, De Villiers is good at whatever he does.
Consistency and fluency in his batting is an area he has explored so well. The commitment and dedication to his team is reflected in the fact that he has readily donned the pads and gloves to allow his team play an extra player. This ever smiling player has a magnificent mix of aggression and caution in his stroke play. While he is steadily climbing the rankings across various formats, he never forgets to treat his fans with highly attractive shots. Though he still has lot of cricket left in him, he already holds various records under his name. He holds the record for most test innings without a duck (78), Highest individual score by a South African in test innings (278*), amongst many others. He has 12 Test centuries & 9 ODI Centuries under his belt with highest ODI score of 146 vs West Indies. He is also the second youngest and second fastest South African batsman to reach 1000 Test runs. AB De Villiers also has a century in IPL against Chennai Super Kings to his credit.
Much of the South African dreams would rest on AB if they are to get rid of the 'Chokers' tag. While there players like Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla, who can consolidate the innings, the proteans will depend on AB to gain momentum to their innings with his attacking flair. For Royal Challengers of Bangalore, He is clearly an asset. For, if his talent was not enough, he has forever been a team man, always cheering up the mood in the dressing room. Not many know that De Villiers writes songs and plays the guitar too.
Every Cricket fan would be rearing to watch AB in action in the upcoming World Cup. RCB again wishes this cricketer much more success in coming years on eve of his birthday.
Latest comments
He, along with the fab members of the Fan Advisory Board, plot new schemes to engage with fans and trouble shoot their problems.

London, Nov. 24 (ANI): An investigation has been launched over a fake MI6 job listing that was posted by a UK Government employee on the DirectGov website.
The job listing called for applicants with prior experience of sniper rifles and suited to those "who like their martinis shaken and not stirred."
The "Target Elimination Specialist" post, with a job reference code of 007, remained on the DirectGov website for at least an hour today after Twitter users began to post links to it, The Telegraph reports.
According to the paper, the job description had all the hallmarks of a James Bond-style position, requiring "particularly skilled professionals who are prepared to work on a non-attributable basis" to deal with "people whose continued existence poses a risk to the effective conduct of public order."
Other desirable attributes included jobseekers with prior military experience, "particularly in the use of sniper rifles," and a 50-60,000 pound salary would be complemented by free equipment including passports, special watches, jet packs, mini-submarines and guns, the paper said.
However, a spokeswoman for the Department of Work and Pensions said that an investigation had been launched into how the site, which posts government jobs, had allowed the fake listing to slip through.
"It is disappointing that somebody would want to post a false advert when people are looking for real jobs. It has now been removed," she said. (ANI)

10th Graders are Hilarious
While you ruminate on that question, here is a conversation that took place between me and one of my 10th grade tutorial students.
Me: Make sure you hand in your exit slip on the way out the door.
Student: What happens if we don't.
Me: I'll freak out. And you don't want to see a nerdy white math teacher freak out.
Student: Yeah, he's probably all (in robot voice, as she starts shaking hands above head and twitching) Does. Not. Compute.
14 comments:
That is why I am trying to avoid teaching 9th graders if at all possible.
- April 3, 2009 at 3:39 AM
Just curious...why mention the fact that you're white?
Full disclosure: I frequently see white teachers (nearly always young and/or novice) making self-effacing comments about being white in what I suspect is an attempt to win over the kids, and it bothers me. I wonder what if the situation were reversed: we'd never allow our students to promote the negative stereotypes of their race, so why do we provide such a different model for what's OK, even in a joking manner?
But I agree with you on the development aspect: a year makes a tremendous difference. - April 3, 2009 at 2:35 PM
Black people do make jokes about being black and Asians people make jokes about being Asian. As long as everybody shows respect, I don't see what's wrong with a self effacing joke, this is a relatively healthy way to process a stereotype, positive or negative.
- April 3, 2009 at 2:46 PM
Comments taken, Bren, but (1) I never hear teachers of other races disparaging themselves (empirically, I notice the opposite), and (2) I don't think it's "processing a stereotype" if you're feeding into something the kids may or may not believe but certainly don't need an adult endorsing and perpetuating.
I'm with you on the respect...which can be shown toward oneself, too. - April 3, 2009 at 5:16 PM
What happens is that they drop out. Sad but true, just look at the enrollment numbers of 9th graders in Sept and then in June.
- April 3, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Kat, I think you need to lighten up a bit..I make stupid jokes about my race all the time and I think it really helps put people at ease. Especially in our schools, where the majority of the kids do not have too much experience with people of other races, I think it shows them a more human side of ourselves. BTW- I am Latino, not white....therefore my lack of command of English grammar and spelling.
- April 3, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Where I teach, I have had little children ask me, "Ms. X, is you white?" And I answer,"Yes, sweetheart, I am" because they just don't know (not due to my complexion, but due to them just being so young). I rarely refer to my race and certainly never presume that the students have a preconceived notion about people who are white, as if we're some monolithic type. I absolutely do not disparage myself based on my ethnicity. BTW, at my school, and I've been there around 10 years, I have never heard a child say anything like "I don't have to listen to you because you're white" or anything about white teachers. I am one of the 2 or 3 white teachers in my school which is almost all African-American. We are just teachers and all students are supposed to listen to all teachers.
- April 3, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Dear Ms. X - the next time a student asks "Is you white?"
Please consider letting them know that the correct way of asking that is, "Are you white?" - April 4, 2009 at 4:12 PM
I put "Is you white?" in quotes because that is exactly what the little child asked me. And I probably modeled back the standard form; I usually do.
- April 4, 2009 at 5:15 PM
Ms X - I understood why you put that in quotes and am happy to hear that you think you modeled correct usage.
Kat - I've heard Chancellor Rhee talk about herself as "that crazy Korean lady." Do you think she should stop that?
Sam - you were kidding, right? -- about being Latino as an explanation for your poor English usage (which I didn't notice) - April 5, 2009 at 2:21 PM
Being Latino is an ethnicity and has no bearing on one's language skills. Latinos can run a range from speaking only Spanish to only English and any combination in between. Being a native Spanish speaker, someone whose first language is not English, now that's another story. Errors present in English can originate from a Spanish L1 (or from any other L1), such as confusing the possessive adjectives his & her, since they're both translated as "su" in Spanish. Sam, I noticed no errors (not even the typos we all make) on what you wrote. And BTW, you probably write English grammatically with better spelling than you think. As a teacher, you had to pass Praxis I, right?
- April 5, 2009 at 3:16 PM
I was definitely joking.
I understand fully about Latino not being a race, but at ethnicity, as my wife who is also Latino, but from a different country background is very often treated as white, until she opens her mouth and then it's clear she is not a native speaker. Me, I don't look anything but your typical day laborer (another joke) but yes, my English is more than acceptable according to the Praxis I.
The jokes I was referring to I also use with my colleagues and they are I think pretty harmless (being late to everything, needing my "siesta", needing a tortilla at every meal, etc. etc.) - April 5, 2009 at 8:59 PM
we have two weeks til DC CAS so the craziness is going to get more intense. I just hope that principals, many of whom I believe are in fear of being replaced, set a tone of calm. A stress free atmosphere will do a great deal to create a good testing environment. So many of our schools haven't made AYP in a few years.
- April 5, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Right - the principals are in fear of being replaced, because Rhee made it very clear that's what would happen if they didn't make AYP - as if instilling fear will raise scores. It's more likely that instilling fear will raise cheating rates -- and I'm talking about principals fixing tests - not kids cheating.
I sure hope there are measures in place to prevent that -- though I doubt that Rhee cares about cheating, since she lied on her own resume. She just wants the scores to go up.
I don't think the principals have too much too fear. I doubt there's an army of principals lined up to take their places - knowing full well they could meet the same fate next year. - April 6, 2009 at 2:55 AM

In Egyptian religion, the god of the air and supporter of the sky, created by the god Atum. Shu and his sister Tefnut (goddess of moisture) were the first couple of the group of nine gods called the Ennead of Heliopolis. Of their union were born Geb and Nut. Shu was portrayed in human form with an ostrich feather on his head. He was often represented supporting with uplifted arms the body of Nut arched above him. Later he was frequently termed the son of Re, and he was also identified with Onuris, a warrior god.

This German duo takes everything under the sun, from a hardstyle bounce and moombahcore vibe to the "SMACK" vocal snippet from the popular rap battle series and come with a proper moombah slapper for your bitch ass.

Louisville is located in central Barbour County in the southeast corner of the state.
Louisville was well-established by 1819, in what was then Creek territory. Sources differ, however, on whether it was named either after the first capital of Georgia or after Daniel Lewis, its first settler. Louisville has the distinction of serving briefly as the county seat for two counties; in 1821, it was named the county seat for Pike County, and in 1832, when it became part of Barbour County, it was designated as county seat but was replaced by Clayton in 1834. Louisville was incorporated in 1834, although one source cites 1887 as the incorporation date. The town raised a company of men to fight in the Second Creek War; the Battle of Hobdy's Bridge and the Battle of Pea River both took place about six miles from town. Louisville also sent men to fight in the Civil War.
In 1888, the Central of Georgia Railroad ran a line through Louisville. The first automobile appeared in Louisville in 1908. The lumber industry was a part of the local economy as early as 1828 and continued to play an important role until the mid-twentieth century.
Louisville's population according to the 2010 Census was 519. Of that number, 49.3 percent of respondents identified themselves as white, 44.1 percent as African American, 7.9 percent as Hispanic, 1.3 percent as two or more races, and 0.8 percent as Native American. The city's median household income was $28,472, and per capita income was $17,978.
The workforce in present-day Louisville is divided among the following occupational categories:
· Retail trade (21.4 percent)
· Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, and extractive (21.0 percent)
· Educational services, and health care and social assistance (18.3 percent)
· Finance, insurance, and real estate, rental, and leasing (10.9 percent)
· Construction (9.2 percent)
· Transportation and warehousing and utilities (8.7 percent)
· Professional, scientific, management, and administrative and waste management services (5.7 percent)
· Public administration (2.2 percent)
· Arts, entertainment, recreation, and accommodation and food services (1.7 percent)
· Wholesale trade (0.9 percent)
Schools in Louisville are part of the Barbour County School District; the town has approximately 500 students and 34 teachers in one intermediate school and one middle school. One private school serves approximately 201 students with 16 teachers.
State Highway 51 runs from southwest-northeast through Louisville, State Highway 31 west, and County Roads 21 and 33 both roughly southeast. Clayton Municipal Airport is located 10 miles to the northeast.
Events and Places of Interest
Blue Springs State Park is located about seven miles south of Louisville; it features a swimming facility fed by a natural underground spring that
pumps 3,600 gallons of water per hour into a pair of concrete-ringed pools.

Denzel Washington Rep Denies Divorce Allegations
After celebrating their 30-year marriage with a rare portrait of love on the cover of Ebony magazine (above), rumors of Denzel Washington cheating on his wife, Pauletta, circled the 'net. Pictures of the 58-year-old actor allegedly kissing a woman he met at a Malibu house party on the lips have been shopped to multiple media outlets though none have been released. The long-time couple also reportedly spent their 30th anniversary apart.
This wouldn't be the first time Denzel has been accused of infidelity. In 2003, rumors of his affair with Out of Time co-star Sanaa Lathan surfaced, but the actress denied the allegations. A source told Star magazine that Denzel always "sweet-talks his way out of [infidelity]," adding, "[His wife] confronted him, and once again he denied he did anything wrong."
However, a rep for Denzel says the two are neither divorcing nor separating. Even Pauletta stands firm by her man, telling the mag, "I live with this man. I see the down part. I see the sad part. I see every part."
"He has and knows he has stability in me as his wife. That's what gives him strength, regardless if he misuses it. I can't dwell on that. But I do know that gives him a great platform to go and fly," she adds.
The issue is on newsstands now.–Nina Marrissa (@NinaMarrissa)

Millennium Luxury Coaches DEF Inlet Modification Stands Up To Prevost Inspections; Sets the groundwork for Prevost engineers to develop an OEM solution for their entire product line
Prevost engineers & management were recently present at Millennium Luxury Coaches' manufacturing and sales facility in Central Florida for an inspection and review of the company's controversial modification to relocate the Diesel Exhaust Fluid inlet to the drivers side of the coach.
Prevost, a fully owned subsidiary of the Volvo Bus Corporation, uses EPA 2010 compliant Volvo D13 engines for their chassis for motor coach conversion use, which includes the mandated DEF system. The chassis are constructed with the DEF fill inlet on the passenger's side of the coach, while fill stations, which have recently started installing DEF pumps, are placing them on the driver's side.
The opposing locations of the inlets and the pumps have provided challenges to owners of new Prevost coaches. Millennium Luxury Coaches, which converts exclusively Prevost chassis, took action. According to Nelson Figueroa, President of Millennium, "After four revisions and countless hours at the fuel pump we have developed the only successful relocation of the inlet fill port for the Prevost DEF system."
While there was little dispute that Millennium's relocation worked, many in the industry doubted whether Prevost's warranty would still remain intact after such a modification. A team of Prevost engineers and Senior Management, after an onsite visit and thorough inspection, determined that the Prevost warranty on DEF relocated Millennium coaches would not be affected.
"We never had any doubts that our modification wouldn't hold up to Prevost's scrutiny, but it's great to officially hear that our customer's won't have to worry about any warranty issues down the road, and can focus on what's important, enjoying their coach", stated Nelson Figueroa.

- Person:Katheryn Winnick
- Birth Date:December 17th, 1977 - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Credits: Acting
As her impressively diverse list of credits attests, the beautiful Canadian-born Katheryn Winnick has always been drawn to the unconventional, showing range and depth with every role she plays. Winnick will next star as the fearless shield maiden, 'Lagertha', wife and warrior of a great Viking leader in the new eagerly-anticipated television series "Vikings". Produced by MGM and The History Channel, "Vikings" is an epic historical drama that chronicles legendary events of the medieval times, also starring Golden Globe Winner, Gabriel Byrne and Travis Fimmel. Winnick considers "Vikings" to be her most precious acting memories to date. This year alone, Winnick exemplifies her talent and diversity in roles when she appears as Charlie Sheen's ex in "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III" (co starring Bill Murray, Patricia Arquette, and Jason Schwartzman); and alongside Al Pacino, Christopher Walken, and Alan Arkin in Lakeshore Entertainment's "Stand Up Guys". Upcoming, Winnick can be seen opposite Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon in the heist comedy "The Fix". Recent career highlights include a sexy turn opposite Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway in Ed Zwick's "Love and Other Drugs"; a fun, physically demanding role as one of the eponymous assassins in the Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl action-comedy, "Killers" (in which Winnick did all her own stunts); a juicy recurring role as David Boreanaz's love interest on Fox's hit primetime TV series, "Bones"; and a subtly endearing performance in Sophie Barthes' "Cold Souls" (2009) alongside Academy Award-nominated co-stars Paul Giamatti, Emily Watson, and David Straitharn that resulted in a nod for 'Best Ensemble Cast' at that year's Independent Spirit Awards. Winnick demonstrates talent beyond the acting realm as an accomplished martial artist. After receiving her first Black Belt at the ripe old age of thirteen, she went on to compete in the Canadian Nationals, opened a handful of highly-successful Tae Kwon Do schools in and around Toronto, and - as if all that was not enough - eventually trained to become a licensed bodyguard. She currently holds a third-degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and a second-degree Black Belt in Karate.

Ben Goldacre's prescription drugs keynote offers a passionate and compelling discussion on the pharmaceutical industry. He discusses the various ways in which the industry withholds important information on the trials and tests conducted with new drugs on humans. The unreported information, which Goldacre describes as "missing in action," results in hundreds of deaths that doctors could have prevented had they been properly informed on the effects of a multitude of prescription drugs.
He introduces the term "publication bias," which refers to the unflattering data that gets lost or that is conveniently slipped under a rug, never to be seen again. This phenomenon is occurring far too often. Goldacre describes it as a "disaster" because doctors cannot access important information about the effects of the prescription drugs they are prescribing.
His prescription drugs keynote highlights one of the many flaws of the pharmaceutical industry in the world today. He believes that all prescription drug-related deaths can be avoided once it becomes mandatory for every for every test and trial conducted on humans to be published.

An excellent night of sleep can be achieved, but you must know how to begin in order to eliminate your snoring. It is important to not let your physical health suffer by allowing snoring to continue, so read on to learn how to put a stop to it!
Smoking can increase snoring because it can increase inflammation of the throat and airways. When you smoke, your throat's back tissues may become irritated and cause your throat to swell. One of the major causes of snoring is a swollen throat.
Stay at a healthy weight and you can keep snoring down. The weight of the body does not always affect snoring, but extra fat around the neck area can lead to more pressure on the airway, resulting in snoring. If you have gained weight and noticed that you are snoring a lot more, losing those extra pounds may help you.
Opening up your nasal passages can help to stop your snoring. A blocked or clogged nose could be contributing to your snoring issue. Use humidifiers, vapor rubs, steam showers or neti pots to clear the nose when you have a cold. Nasal strips can also help you because they actually lift your nose open, allowing air to enter.
Consult your physician to discuss whether or not your medications may be causing you to snore. Some prescription medications can make you snore. Medicines like pain killers, antihistamines, sleeping pills and muscle relaxers all can restrict the airway. Partially obstructed airways cause snoring.
Resting your head on a firmer pillow can help to cut down on snoring. Your throat muscles can relax too much while sleeping on a soft pillow, thus allowing your airways to constrict. You may begin to snore because air cannot pass through the passages freely. Having a firm pillow will help to open your passageways and keep them that way.
Push your tongue along the back side of your top teeth in the front to strengthen your throat muscles. Move your tongue back and slide it up to the back of your teeth, without stopping, for approximately three minutes. You can improve the amount of air you take in while you sleep and make snoring less likely with this exercise, because it tones the muscles that keep your airways open.
One way to fight snoring, is to eat less food in the hours before going to bed. Large meals eaten later in the day may overfill your stomach. This can cause your diaphragm to push against your throat, which can block your throat because of pressure. Snoring is predominantly caused by a throat that has narrowed, leading to restricted airflow.
Dairy Products
Even if you have not been diagnosed with lactose intolerance, dairy products are a common culprit of snoring. This is because dairy products encourage phlegm production, which in turn, obstructs your airway both in your nose as well as in your throat. Avoid dairy several hours before bed to see if this makes a difference.
Before going to sleep, dine on a spoonful of honey. Honey helps reduce snoring; however, scientists at this time have been unable to figure out why honey works so well. Honey has myriad applications in folk medicine, though, so this use is not entirely surprising.
Interestingly, it is possible to eliminate snoring using a tennis ball. Pin the ball to the back of your night clothes before you go to bed. When you sleep, you probably will turn over and feel the ball up against your back. Side-sleeping will cut snoring sounds significantly.
Exercise your tongue regularly. Whilst it sounds ridiculous, regular tongue exercise is as simple as moving your tongue around in your mouth and frequently sticking it out. While your tongue is extended, hold it rigid. Then, point the tip of it in a single direction. After you do this, go the other direction. Follow these steps efficiently to maximize the quality of results. This will strengthen your tongue muscles and diminish snoring issues.
If you often snore, consider allergies as a possible culprit and find a remedy for them. Breathing through your mouth is a common effect of allergy attacks that congest your nasal passages and restrict your airways. Snoring is the most common result. Pick up some medicine at the local pharmacy or seek out a doctor's opinion if the problem is really bad.
You owe it to your relatives to watch your own health, so you can be with them for years to come. Snoring can have a significant effect on your health, so take the time to treat your condition and find relief. Make use of this article's advice today!

Syria profile
The Syrian uprising has been accompanied by a crackdown on the media. Scores of journalists and citizen journalists have been killed in connection with their activities since the start of the revolt in 2011, says Reporters Without Borders.
The US-based Committee to Protect Journalists ranked Syria as the most dangerous place in the world for journalists in 2012, with 28 journalists "killed in combat or targeted for murder by government or opposition forces".
TV is Syria's most popular medium. The government and ruling party own and control much of the broadcast and print media. Traditional media outlets do not carry criticism of the president, and journalists practice self-censorship.
Syrian state-run TV lost much of its satellite broadcasting capacity in 2012 when leading operators, including Eutelsat and Egypt's Nilesat, suspended carriage of its networks. Eutelsat has accused Syria of jamming satellite TV transmissions, affecting broadcasts from the BBC and other outlets.
Opposition satellite stations broadcast from abroad and have proliferated since 2011; they include London-based Barada TV, UAE-based Orient TV and Al-Ghad TV.
The three main newspapers are state-run. Privately-owned titles are predominantly operated by figures with good government connections. After the 2011 revolt, opposition activists began to publish hand-outs and weekly A4-size papers.
Dissent on the webWith more than 5 million internet users in Syria by June 2012 (Internetworldstats.com), the web has emerged as a vehicle for dissent.
Anti-regime activists have used social media and online video platforms to tell the world about their protests. Some of their footage has been used by mainstream news outlets.
Social media have helped to break the taboos that prevent any criticism of the president and the ruling party. Mocking the Assad government is a staple of the Syrian Facebook scene, and opposition activists distribute satirical content via YouTube.
Nevertheless, the authorities try to censor the internet, blocking many global websites with local appeal, including Facebook and YouTube, as well as opposition sites.
Syria experienced a two-day internet shutdown in late 2012. Officials blamed "terrorists", but IT websites reckoned that the move was a deliberate government exercise.
Meanwhile, an Assad government-backed "cyber army" has waged a "disinformation battle", spreading false information and engaging in hacking and phishing, says Reporters Without Borders.

Today, the oldest "dropped by", wearing a hijab, with her new puppy and live-in fiancee.
We live in an ultra conservative, gun-toting-state. We are devout Christians. We are descendants of a long line of current & former U.S. military veterans. We grieved this week over the 9/11 anniversary and the brutal killings of our Foreign Service Officers in Libya. We continue to lament the recent attacks on U.S. consulates in the middle east. We remain concerned for the safety of our brothers & sisters serving abroad in light of the ongoing upheaval and the general anti-American sentiment in the middle-east. So when she cascades into our home dressed like a Muslim woman, it put us off for two reasons.
I did not raise this disrespectful ingrate. Our predecessors would be shocked and saddened by her rejection of our family's values and creeds but they would respect her right to do so. But should it be done in such a disrespectful and immature manner?
The worst part: her puppy relieves himself-TWICE-on the floor and she does not bother to clean the mess! I'm not angry with her, but her behavior saddens me. Her behavior is distasteful and unfortunate. I will love her from a distance as I wait for her to mature a little more. |

The youngest (age 16) started his new job last week and is already planning to spend his entire first paycheck on the latest mobile phone! He knows this is unwise. He asked for my opinion but that was not a hill upon which I wanted to die. It seemed best to re frame the questions, and suggest he do a cost-benefit analysis. I left it at that because I already know, that if he buys the phone, the pleasure will be fleeting and he will ruminate for weeks over all the other ways he could have spent the money. I don't mind his dilemma so much because at least he is THINKING! He is taking steps to make a conscious, well-reasoned decision. I'm proud of him for this. He appreciates nice things. He is a hard worker, a diligent saver and wise spender. Everything of value that he owns, he worked for it. I pray his motivation to have nice things does not corrupt his integrity. |

Now the middle child... He traded university for THREE jobs, a turbulent romantic relationship, and a beautiful but fussy newborn. He allowed a 17yrold temporary girlfriend to compromise his future, her future and the future of their child. Her parents were understandably livid! They demanded that she have an abortion immediately or that he marry her and support her immediately! A few weeks before that, he was living the life. He lived in a first-rate dorm at university, with a first-rate meal plan and a nice car. His biggest concern was getting to class on time and finding time to study. But then, the pregnancy changed all of that! Now he barely has time to sleep and think. He works 10-12hour days 6 or 7 days a week. The girlfriend is always whining about something-legitimately most of the time. The baby has been constipated for weeks because the girlfriend insists on second-rate baby formula despite the results. It is all so hard to watch. Like a bad drama/dark comedy and bad horror movie all rolled into one. All in all, I'm proud of the "middle child" because he stood up and did the right thing even when it seemed like it would have been "easier" or "more convenient" to abort his baby. |

Anchorage Felon sentenced for possession of firearm
Anchorage, Alaska B U.S. Attorney Karen L. Loeffler announced today that Charles Wiley Smith, a resident of Anchorage, Alaska, has been sentenced in federal court in Anchorage for the crime of felon in possession of a firearm.
Chief U.S. District Court Judge Ralph R. Beistline imposed a sentence of 57 months in prison on Smith, 32.
According to Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Erin White Bradley, who prosecuted the case, Smith possessed a Charter Arms, Bulldog Model, .44 special revolver on October 28, 2011. At the time of this possession, Smith used the firearm to "pistol-whip" an adult female. While law enforcement officers attempted to apprehend Smith, he fired shots at them. Smith has a felony conviction from the Superior Court for the State of Alaska for the crime of misconduct involving a weapon in the first degree, dated August 8, 2000. In that case, Smith drove by an apartment building, where people were sitting on the front stairs, and fired three shots. One bullet penetrated the door of an apartment and hit an interior wall.
In fashioning a sentence, the Court noted Smith's history of violence, use of firearms, association with gang activity and involvement with illegal controlled substances. In the words of the Court, Smith is "precisely the type of person who should not possess a firearm." Following incarceration, Smith will be on supervised release for a period of three years.
Ms. Loeffler commended the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Anchorage Police Department for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Smith. SAUSA Bradley is a prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney=s Office who is funded by the Municipality of Anchorage for the purpose of prosecuting gang-related and violent crime cases.

Market firming
Less fall volume coming from northern growing areas was causing the pepper market to begin firming up, said Greg Cardamone, general manager of eastern vegetables for L&M Cos., Raleigh, N.C., which grows and ships from Moultrie, Ga., and south Florida.
Less quantity helps pick the markets up, he said.
L&M plans to pack its Immokalee pepper through mid-April before working its way back up to central Florida and to south Florida in May.
Mike Shier, sales manager for the vegetable department of Six L's Packing Co. Inc., Immokalee, said a slow economy, weak demand and high early fall production in northern growing areas have kept prices lower than normal.
"The market has been somewhat depressed for most of the summer," he said. "We look for the market to firm up a little going into the first week of November. We are looking for moderate demand with the way the economy is."
Shier said the Thanksgiving pull usually makes for good demand, but then demand can often fall apart after the holiday push.
Six L's plans to start its bell pickings on time in early November.
Central Florida volume
Gary Wishnatzki, president of Wishnatzki Farms, Plant City, said the Florida market normally improves when volume shifts from south Georgia to the Sunshine State.
He said he doesn't expect to see any major bumps in price, however, once Georgia finishes.
"So far, the crop looks very good," Wishnatzki said in mid-October. "There hasn't been anything to hurt it. We believe we are in good shape."
Central Florida production normally runs through Christmas.
Pacific Collier's Monteith said rainfall has been adequate, and the past drought has eased with rainfall conditions returning to normal for the Immokalee growing region.
Monteith said central Florida and south Florida usually sees an overlap in production.
The two growing regions, he said, experienced a short overlap when production this spring shifted to the Plant City and Palmetto-Ruskin region.
The overlap, which normally depresses prices, wasn't large, and south Florida was nearly completed with its pepper harvesting as areas to the north got harvesting underway.
According to the USDA, Florida's pepper acreage planted for fall harvest declined 3% to 7,300 acres compared to 7,500 acres for the fall of 2008.
Harvested acreage during the fall of 2007 was at 7,400 acres.

Duet exhibition space: Duet: Ruben Ochoa and B.J. Vogt
3526 Washington Ave., Ste. 300, St. Louis, MO 63103; 310-614-7338
Open to the public free of charge: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 5 p.m., or by appointment via email email@example.com or by phone 310-614-7338.
Duet: Ruben Ochoa and B.J. Vogt, runs through Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014. The venue, Duet is an exhibition series and curatorial endeavor devoted to meaningful pairings between an artist from St. Louis and a carefully chosen complimentary artist from another city, offering up both a comparison and contrast of the cultural landscape that influences each of the artist's work.
One of Los Angeles' most notable young sculptors, Ruben Ochoa's forms in At First Blush, rise like the skeleton of the tripods from a War of the Worlds machine. The work is a beautifully nimble concoction of pallet and rebar, suggesting the gleeful liberation of a construction yard.
St. Louis artist B.J. Vogt presents We Don't Even Know if That's Going to be the When, a piece created specifically for this inaugural exhibition. Vogt's narrow shelf of sandwiched 2x4 beams offers a horizon line that cuts the exhibition space in two, unhooking the ceiling from the floor.

Everything said before me is true. This is amazingly creamy and feels beautiful on your lips. I haven't seen a shade like it, actually. It's very rich and is just a very pretty brownish-red. Will purchase again,
This shade stuck out to me the most as I was browsing through a BeneFit stand. It's a rich creamy brown/berry/red that looks amazing against my olive NC35 skintone. This is my first Benefit lipstick and I am extremely impressed with the pigmentation and creaminess. Tons of rich color without a matte drying feeling. I find that a lot of reds are too bright or cool toned/blue but Hold It! is the perfect brownish red for my skintone. I like to layer this shade while blotting with a Kleenex for a long lasting stain. Love this for a pulled together, classy and sophisticated yet very sexy look!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is somewhere between a gloss and a lipstick. It comes in a tube and is solid. The color "Hold It" is gorgeous. It is a deep brownish berry. It is semi-sheer, non-metallic or shimmery, with a beautiful shiny gloss finish. It's much more comfortable and slightly longer-lasting than lip gloss. I always buy intense, highly pigmented lipstick and this certainly isn't one of those, but I absolutely love how this looks. The rich color and gleam are beautiful. I take off one lippy because the staying power is not so great. By the way, Hold It looks great over drying matte lipstick. It sort of makes it the best of both worlds.
