As most have read lately,I have a bad Copper fouling problem with my new Savage 110FLCP 25/06 that I had the Savage Custom Shop build for me. I'm the kind of guy that understands that nothing made by man is ever perfect,and it usually doesn't do any good to bitch and moan about a company turning out a product with a flaw.I just try to do what I can to fix the problem,and maybe learn something in the process. I'm in no way mad at Savage Firearms,but they do need to check out the condition of the machining tools that are used in the manufacturing process from time to time,and these types of problems will be limited. I have notified them about this problem,and could have returned the rifle,but then what would I be learning about how to fix the problem. I have several different types of liquid,and foam bore cleaners that are for Copper Fouling.They do work good,but on this rifle it was taking atleast 3 days to get the copper out of the barrel,after soaking-brushing-patching.Also alot of Cussing!!! These are patches after soaking the barrel with some liquid cleaners- A member on another forum sent me a link for a homemade electric bore cleaner,so I said what the hell,I'll try it out! It's a simple kit,and doesn't cost much to make. I bought a Rayovac Industrial continuity testing flashlight for a power source-$5.00,along with some batteries.A Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel rod,I bought a 1/8" and a 3/16" rod for cleaning different size bores.You will also need some O-rings,and Rubber Stoppers that will fit your bore. You also need an Industrial strength Ammonia solution,your local janitorial supply is a good place to find this stuff.Most of the Ammonia products found at grocery/hardware stores isn't strong enough.

You will also need some type of small funnel or syringe to put the cleaning solution into the barrel once you install the rod.I used part of a brake bleeding kit that I have in my toolbox. Once you have plugged the chamber end of the barrel,install the rod into the bore with an O-ring on the bottom end of the rod.Then fill the barrel with the cleaning solution-I mixed mine 1 part water/1 part ammonia. Then place another O-ring at the top of the rod and push it into the barrel,so that the rod doesn't touch the barrel. Since my gun has a bull barrel and no sights,I just used a clamp and a piece of stripped wire to place the positive lead to.The negative just gets hooked to the rod in the bore; If everything is good,when the Flashlight is turned on,the bulb will just faintly glow.If the rod is touching the barrel anywhere,the bulb will be bright. After a few seconds,you will see the solution in the barrel start to foam,the longer it's on,the more it foams up.I wrapped a rag around the top of the barrel to keep the solution from running down the outside of the barrel.
These are the first 4 patches that I ran through the bore after using this thing.Needless to say,I was surprised. Now this isn't a perfect system,and it does take some time to set up and use.I let the sytem work for 30-45 minutes when I have tried it,and it seems to work alright,and it does take most of the copper,and all of the powder fouling out of the barrel.
Man, that's really well-done, THB. You should patent that thing. And the post should be STICKIED.
That is the neatest thing I have ever seen. Where were you before I bought my electronic bore cleaner? LOL!! Copper fouling is more of a problem that folks think. Aot will replace their scope when all they need is to clear the copper from the barrel. Usually found in the last 6 inches of the barrel to the muzzle (most important area. IMO) I had a 270 in Rem mod. 700. 2 boxes were the max I could shoot before I had to clean the copper out of it, the bullets printed all over the target. Bore clean it and next range trip found all rounds in a 1 to 1.5 inch group at 100 yrds. Again Great job on design, simple and affordable.
That is fantastic! great write-up. and thank you for sharing.
Well, Tx, looks like I need to get it together for one of these gizmos. What is the % concentration strength of the ammonia you are using?
Yes it works, perhaps it works too good. Be very carefull in using this device, you can damage your bore if you leave it hooked up too long. Leaving this device hooked up too long will lead to bore damage, pitting and bore metal being electroliticly etched . One thing I would question is, just how long is too long before you start eating into the bore? I just buy a can of WipeOut and forgetaboutit. Wipe out works, period. It is slow but it works and it works safely on your rifle. You can leave it in forever and it will not harm your bore, and it also leaves a rust preventative coating inside your bore after cleaning.

Milk bottle cleaning procedure
From EcoReality
- After using some of the milk, periodically shake vigorously so that the separated "cream ring" is dissolved into the remaining milk.
- As soon as possible after emptying the bottle, rinse twice with cold water.
- Hot water smears the butterfat, making subsequent cleaning more difficult.
- Wash bottle with dish soap in the hottest water possible:
- Half fill bottle with hot-hot-hot soapy water, shake the water vigorously around in the bottle, empty and repeat.
- Check for any milk residue and if necessary, soak bottle in hot, soapy water.
- If available, use a bottle brush on the neck of the bottle.
- Use a wash cloth or bottle brush on the rings around the outside of the neck of the bottle.
- Rinse thoroughly in hot-hot-hot water.
- Be sure to clean the cap thoroughly in the same hot soapy water.
- Air-dry the bottle and cap. Only when the bottle and cap are completely dry, is it okay to place cap on the bottle.
- If you leave water in the bottle and put the cap on, this creates an environment for mould to grow.
Although we re-wash all returns, bottles that are returned dirty are subject to an additional fee.
Please help us by returning completely clean and dry bottles -- thank you!

» Hobby Electronics 9,500-Year-Old City Found Underwater Off IndiaFrom the webmaster: Since this story appeared in January 2002 there has been no serious study of this issue. On March 15, 2002 Frontline published an article that scientists "debunked" the claims of this article. There is no proof in 2010 they even did a serious study or even checked it out before they announced it "debunked."
The civilization of Ancient Egypt occurred in a past so remote that today it seems mystical. The pyramids and other temples, with their hieroglyphics depicting a flourishing civilization, have a mysterious, almost magical appeal. It seems inconceivable that people of an advanced society could have walked those ancient streets.
The vast city, which is five miles long and two miles wide, is believed to predate the oldest known remains in the subcontinent by more than 5,000 years. The site was discovered by chance last year by oceanographers from India's National Institute of Ocean Technology, who were conducting a survey of pollution. Using side scan sonar, which sends a beam of sound waves down to the bottom of the ocean, they identified huge geometrical structures at a depth of 120 feet. Debris recovered from the site, including construction material, pottery, sections of walls, beads, sculpture, and human bones and teeth has been carbon dated and found to be nearly 9,500 years old (BBC article).Several reports confirm this estimate. Housden added, "The whole model of the origins of civilisation will have to be remade from scratch." Unheard-of Scope of Cambay Ruins The BBC article tells us that the remains of this ancient city stand upon "enormous foundations." Marine archaeologists discovered them with a technology known as "sub-bottom profiling." Author and filmmaker Graham Hancock, an authority on archaeological investigations of ancient civilizations, reportedly said that the evidence was compelling. For example, he said that the oceanographers had found two large blocks that were larger than anything that's ever been found. "Cities on this scale," Hancock told BBC Online, "are not known in the archaeological record until roughly 4,500 years ago when the first big cities begin to appear in Mesopotamia. Theorists are postulating that the area where this city exists was submerged when the ice caps melted at the end of the last Ice Age. "A month ago in mid-January [2002]," says Hancock on his website, "marine scientists in India announced they had sonar images of square and rectangular shapes about 130 feet down off the northwestern coast of India in the Gulf of Khambhat (Cambay). . . . [There are] sonar shapes with 90-degree angles. The Indian Minister of Science and Technology ordered that the site be dredged. What was found has surprised archaeologists around the world" The Find Includes Human Remains Linda Moulton Howe, who investigates occurrences of this type worldwide, interviewed Michael Cremo about this new discovery. Cremo is a researcher and author of the book Forbidden Archaeology. Cremo, Howe said, has visited India and attended local meetings about the Cambay site. "Within the past few months," Cremo told her, "the engineers began some dredging operations there and they pulled up human fossil bones, fossil wood, stone tools, pieces of pottery, and many other things that indicated that it indeed was a human habitation site that they had. And they were able to do more intensive sonar work there and were able to identify more structures. They appeared to have been laid out on the bank of a river that had been flowing from the Indian subcontinent out into that area." According to Howe: Even if we don't know what the cultural background of the people is, if it does happen to be a city that is 9500 years old, that is older than the Sumerian civilization by several thousand years. It is older than the Egyptian, older than the Chinese. So it would radically affect our whole picture of the development of urban civilization on this planet.

This is the story of Owen Pick, an ex front line solider in the British Army. He served for 4 years and then the unexpected happened….
The video has had over 20,000 plays already and being watched all over the world. We're really pleased with the feedback we've been getting so thank you to everyone that has watched, liked and shared.
We recently completed this video for British Water & Wakeboard. They wanted professional wakeboarder Nick Davies to talk about a new pass they are offering.
Some of the best wakeboarders in the UK battle it out for the national title. We recently completed this video for Redbull.
I recently completed a video for Spotify – One of the biggest in the music industry. The brief was to produce a professional video filming 50 of the UK's most influential Students together for a night in London. Showing them how to become the ultimate Spotify Student Brand Manager…
As much as I would love to say these photos were taken in the wild I would only be lying to myself and you guys These were taken at Stonham Barns Owl Sanctuary in Suffolk where I got a chance to work with these beautiful birds up close.
This was my 3rd time shooting a wedding at Ravenwood Hall in Bury St Edmunds. I must say it is a beautiful location. Dan and Lindsay decided to get married on the 23rd December so it was very festive with the christmas tree up and the music playing, it was delightful!
Here are a few photos of Dan and Lindsay's wedding album, I must say Folio albums have done another wonderful job, I just can't believe the quality of these products. They really complete the package and bring my photographs to life, much better than a disc I would also just like to say a special thank you to Dan & Lindsay for choosing me to photograph there special day!
I recently travelled up to Scotland to spend Christmas and New Years with my girlfriend and friends. This was my first time visiting Scotland, it's a beautiful country with snow topped mountains and fresh water streams running everywhere. We were staying in a little village called Luss which is right next to Loch Lomond. Unfortunately the rain was relentless but I managed to get out of the lodge a few times
Something new for me. I was asked to produce a video of an Acrylicon floor being installed. It was a challenging task as I didn't know what to expect and to capture the workers without getting in the way was also a little tricky. The aim of the video was to clearly show the process of the installation.
Client: Acrylicon, Adam Clements
Testimonial: Louis, that is absolutely A1! Perfect.
Monster trucks live pretty much says it all, but that wasn't the only thing on offer, FMX, (guys that do huge and insane stunts on a motorbike) muscles cars, hot rods, as well as the Batmobile and the DeLorean. Daft Vader and Kieth Lemon also made an appearance so there was plenty going on! Thanks to Chris Allen and Tony Ellis!
I am very happy to see my video make the GoPro Video of the day, fetching over 23,000 views in two days. What a result!
"Never have I seen a sunset like this one." Me & my girlfriend recently just got back from a camping holiday in Cornwall and the views were pretty spectacular. I can't really explain how beautiful cornwall is, so I managed to get the camera out a few times which hopefully does it some justice. I also got to try out surfing for the first time and I think It's fair to say, I'm hooked. I can't wait to go again…
By the way, the colours you see here are real. Breath taking.

Exactly how "special" are your special events?
Let's face it, most special events are really more like slow torture. Guests arrive to a drab ballroom, sit at 8-top tables, eat the same rubber chicken dinner and endure hours of endless speeches. You've seen them look at their watches or cellphones, wondering if they can make a quick clandestine exit.
Events like this do absolutely nothing to engage your attendees or encourage them to bring more friends the next time around.
We can help. Our unique events create buzz, get people excited about attending and assure that they are looking forward to what you'll do next. It's all about the details.
Let us help make your next (or new) event memorable
and really "special".
Canandaigua National Bank
The Time Machine: CNB at 125 Years Employee Celebration
June, 2012
CNB approached us to create something unique and interesting for this years special anniversary that would key off the theme of their anniversary with a nod towards the future.
We created a Steampunk-themed" party called 'The Time Machine." We used the space in new and unexpected ways, opening walls and revealing a uniques entertainment-dinner space. Their employees had never really been "entertained" at the dinner, we thought this would be a way to retain them longer at the event and create something so unique, unexpected and unusual, that they'd be talking about it for months to come.
We created gigantic projections, used light and sound to create atmosphere and engaged a unique entertainment group to provide non-stop engagement for all the employees.
Lollypop Farm
The Great Catsby at Sonnenberg Mansion & Gardens
May, 2012
We decided to move the event to Canandaigua and create an event called 'The Great Catsby". Sonnenberg Mansion & Gardens was chosen for its singular ability to fully recreate and represent the 1920′s era backdrop needed for the event. We created an inside Prohibition bar, used dining and other rooms on the first floor and used much of the second floor for the Silent Auction. Outside, seating was created for all attendees on the huge wrap-around porches and in a tent that was literally attached to the house in a nearby garden. Cigar rolling, roving entertainers and even vintage china completed the period set of the event. About 90% of the attendees came in costume or with Roaring 20′s accessories.
The house was truly used as it was originally intended. One guest even commented that "…the house is truly smiling…" as the evening went on and closed with money raised and with the procurement of brand new, highly-engaged donors.
Lollypop Farm
Le Barc: Bohemian Arts Revival Cabaret
May, 2011
Lollypop Farm had been holding a gala called Bark and Wine for several years and knew it was time to try something different. We approached them with the idea of moving the gala into the city, renaming it and creating an evening of the unexpected.
We created a Moulin-Rouge styled event. Circus performers were brought in and we transformed the ballrooms of the Memorial Art Gallery into a surreal atmosphere, complete with trees, circus tents, theatrical sets, lighting, and even a rig for the aerialists!
Partygoers moved fluidly through the event – partaking in a banquet of sights and sounds. Lollypop dramatically raised the bar for their gala and the complements just keep on coming for this utterly unique and inspiring event.
ABVI GoodWill
BLUE Boutique Opening Weekend
May, 2011
ABVI/Goodwill opened a new high-end boutique in Pittsford and wanted to create buzz and sales for their grand opening weekend. Philipson Group created separate events, a VIP grand opening, a Young Professionals party and a unique ribbon cutting.
A fashion runway show was created using local celebs to highlight the amazing high-end clothing available at the store. Social media networks were leveraged to create buzz and get people excited about the store. A huge blue bow, blue door greeters, a blue-carpet walk (with papparazi!) and a blue-themed bar and drinks were featured.
We had to hold back the crowds as all events were well attended (some with people waiting in line to get in!) and sales soared beyond the numbers expected!
Planned Parenthood
Safer Sex Party
February, 2011
Philipson Group turned heads when we conceived of and produced the Safer Sex Party for Planned Parenthood of the Rochester-Syracuse Region (PPRSR). By transforming an old bank building at 35 State Street into a unique and exhilarating venue, Planned Parenthood was able to bust myths and negative stereotypes surrounding sexuality in an innovative way.
The event featured exciting entertainment, including light shows and huge video projections, exotic food and drink, as well as on-site shopping from some of Rochester's sexiest boutiques. Lounging on real beds with complimentary bottle service and an aphrodisiac café (inside the bank's old vault!) rounded out this very sexy event.
Memorial Art Gallery
Psychedelic Exhibit Opening Party
October, 2010
In October of 2010, Philipson Group produced the Memorial Art Gallery's Opening Party for its Psychedelic Exhibit. This event wowed attendees with stunning lights, projections, music and a decidedly "groovy" atmosphere.
The iconic Cutler Union Tower was lit up like an enormous lava lamp and vintage Volkswagen vehicles filled the lawn, teasing guests before they entered. Go-go dancers greeted and entertained guests in the transformed atmosphere. Sponsorship and in-kind donations were highly leveraged and collaborations were formed.

The River of Life: bringing Kuala Lumpur's waterways back from the dead
It is somewhat hard to appreciate now, but when Kuala Lumpur started life, it was a frontier settlement, deep in the jungle. Of the original 87 miners who landed at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak rivers in 1857, more than two-thirds died within the first year, principally of malaria. But the fortunes that … read the full post

79 Department of External Affairs to Australian Delegation, United Nations
Cablegram 22 CANBERRA, 14 January 1949
Your UN. 13. [1]
Further to our No. 19 [2], latest United States proposals appear to be reasonably satisfactory so far as they go, but in our view would be of little real value unless accompanied by specific proposals regarding terms for settlement of the fundamental dispute between the Dutch and the Republic.
As regards progressive withdrawal of Dutch forces, any decision should ensure that it is effected prior to elections. Past experience for example in Greece has shown futility of elections under occupation. In addition progressive withdrawal, with corresponding transfer of responsibility to the Republic, should commence as soon as possible and question of a specific time limit for its completion might be discussed with United States and Indian representatives. The main point is that the programme of withdrawal by stages must be determined and drawn up by the Good Offices Committee (or its successor), which must also police its implementation.
Withdrawal and subsequent elections will, however, not in themselves accomplish anything unless at the same time conditions for a settlement of the Netherlands-Republican dispute are also prescribed. There is no point in merely trying to bring about the return to the status quo in the hope that the parties can resume negotiations and reach a settlement. So far as we can see, United States proposals concentrate on the need for an election without specifying what powers and functions the elected body would wield.
Nor do proposals appear to offer solution to questions such as the use of armed forces and the powers of the Crown representative.
You should insist that any resolution should go the whole way and embrace terms of settlement which will do full justice to the Republican position. Failure to prescribe such conditions would leave matters virtually as they were before the police action.
There are other points which should be borne in mind:-
(1) Provision should be made for the observance of elections not by a small group but by a team large enough and with adequate facilities to ensure a general election.
(2) Care will be necessary on the question of garrison forces. The Dutch will doubtless argue that their military action is completed and that all forces at present in Indonesia are performing garrison duties. Dutch garrison or base forces should be permitted only in agreement with Republican authorities and only in regular military centres such as Batavia.
(3) It seems clear that powers and functions of the present Committee of Good Offices will have to be extended, and we agree, as indicated in our No. 7 [3], that consular Commission should lapse.

The two chip manufacturers closed Q3 with a net loss of US$ 396 m for AMD and a profit of US$ 1.9 billion for Intel.
AMD's net loss in the third quarter 2007 was US$ 396 m compared to a loss of US$ 457 m in the previous quarter. Figures are considerably down from last year, when AMD's operating income was US$ 121 m in the same period.
The successful launch of the Quadcore Opteron CPU family and the Radeon 2000 graphics processors gave AMD a slight boost. Turnover totaled just over US$ 1.6 billion, 18 percent more than in the second quarter and 23 percent more than in the same period last year. The third quarter figures also include a negative impact of US$ 120 m due to AMD's acquistion of ATI Technologies in July 2006, according to the announcement by AMD.
Intel's turnover rose by 15 percent to US$ 10.1 in comparison to last year's figures. Net income was US$ 1.9 billion. Intel's announcement (PDF, 109 KByte) states that its microprocessor business was profitable, although average prices were low. Chipsets and flash memory also sold well, according to Intel.

I decided to take a break from a six months relationship with my boyfriend. We did not establish any term or rules regarding the break, and he didn't ask me how long the break would be. He said that he wished I would have told him the reasons for the break earlier as he would have done something about it. The reason for the break is that he sees his ex-girlfriend at work every day. He admits that this is a problem and that if it were the other way around (me working with my ex) it would bother him as well. Keep reading »

Other Pets at Long Road Home Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Oliver, a Manhasset Corgi/Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Corgi/Golden Retriever for sale in Manhasset, or seeking a Corgi/Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Manhasset.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manhasset 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 Manhasset 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 Corgi/Golden Retriever breeders who help with Corgi/Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manhasset paves the way for another one to be saved.

U.S. small business owners don't necessarily think that high taxes are the biggest barrier to their success—but the complexity of the tax code is a different story. The plea for simplification continued into the area of regulations and licensing requirements.
"Voices of Small Business: Discussion and Policy Implications" focuses on responses to an open-ended question in late 2011 by Thumbtack.com, an online platform for service providers to connect with customers, in collaboration with the Kauffman Foundation.
Around half of the 15.5 percent who mentioned taxes described the taxes in their state as "high." Other respondents complained about various taxes, from sales to franchise to corporate income, but also about the complexity of the tax codes and, in some states, the absence of clear, accessible tax information and payment systems. Of those respondents with positive feelings about their states' tax environments, ease of obtaining tax code information and making payments online were among the reasons for their satisfaction.
The clarity and enforcement of state and local business regulations and licensing requirements – or lack thereof – also affected respondents' perceptions of state business friendliness. Fully 28.9 percent of those who answered the open-ended question mentioned regulation or licensing, with 75.1 percent expressing negative viewpoints. A common theme was not that regulations were too onerous, but that the layers of regulation – city, county, state and others – made business operations, and sometimes hiring, difficult.
Based on the analyzed data, the paper offers policy recommendations for states seeking to create a business-friendly environment, including:

This programme aims to improve the effectiveness of designers within industry, and to enable both recent graduates and current practitioners to advance core design knowledge and specialist skills to a higher level.
It develops critical awareness of major issues in design practice, increasing students value to current and potential employers.
The programme also enhance students skills in producing a balanced portfolio of high-quality designs and innovative thinking, enabling them to deal with complex and inter-related issues both analytically and creatively.
The modules offered enable students to develop skills and competencies in the creative and / or analytical aspects of design whilst working with a diverse range of people.
It is the balance and focus of these skills and competencies that characterise the three named programmes which can be taken on a full-time or part-time basis.
Compulsory Modules
On each route, students study five compulsory modules, two of which are route-specific. The three compulsory modules common to all programmes are:
Semester 1
* Design Research Methods
* Enterprise Business and Sustainability
* Sustainable Design
* Advanced Methods and Tools for Sustainable Design
Semester 2
* Cross-Disciplinary Group Project
* Design for Sustainable Behaviour
* Sustainable Design Major Project (Dissertation)
Modules provided by the Department will be assessed by coursework only. Modules from other departments may be assessed by examination, coursework or a combination of both.
A first or upper second class UK Honours degree in a relevant discipline, or the international equivalent of these UK qualifications. A lower level qualification with appropriate industrial experience may also be considered.
A design or engineering background is not essential, we encourage applicants from a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in innovative sustainable design and the desire to think differently about how to achieve it.
Acceptable English language qualification
* GCSE English Language - Grade C or above
* IELTS band 6.5 with not less than 6.0 in Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
* TOEFL (ibt) 92 overall Listening 21, Reading 21, Writing 22 and Speaking 22

More isn't Always Better
Vendor qualification is an important step in the selection process and can save weeks of wasted effort and project delays. Data Centers come in many flavors…small or large, downtown or remote, Fortune 500 or individually owned. Some focus on add-on services while others market themselves as simply "ping, power and pipe".
Maximizing Stakeholder Input
"Differences of opinion" among stakeholders are fairly common when it comes to the task of choosing a new data center. Geography, availability, reliability and technology are just a few of the decision points stakeholders may prioritize differently.
Data Center Site Selection: 3 Tips to Remember
Here are a few tips from a company who engages in site selection exercises on a monthly basis.
On-line Retailer Modernizes IT Infrastructure and Production Platforms with TDS
The Challenge
One of the nation's largest on-line jewelry retailers was outgrowing its current leased data center environment and required holistic support from a company in the data center professional services industry. The existing co-location facility had burdened the customer with a non-scalable cost model filled with diverse production, development and staging platforms as well as sparse documentation related to their infrastructure, software environment installation procedures and release engineering processes. They needed help in more than one area and needed it quickly.
Integrated Media and Commerce Company Undergoes Platform Transformation with TDS
The Challenge
A leading integrated media and commerce company, based in Massachusetts, was running its business on older Linux operating systems and legacy Solaris equipment with outdated, unsupported hardware and OS versions. Hardware failure rates were escalating, security breaches were all too possible and the increasing costs and technology trade-offs associated with maintaining an older operating platform were too high to avoid the inevitable - an entire platform transformation. The risk was just too high to continue operating "as is".

January – February 2015
Ensemble comedy benefits hugely from the presence of Marisa Tomei and Sam Rockwell.
by John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
After a chance run-in with a film producer eager to invest in a new project, aspiring writers Dominic (Michael Godere) and Raphael (Ivan Martin) need to come up with a script fast, so the pair head to the seclusion of upstate New York to churn out their masterpiece. But when Dominic's siren of a sister (Marisa Tomei) turns up desperate for reprieve from her boyfriend (Sam Rockwell), they soon realize they're in for more than they bargained for as their creative retreat is increasingly waylaid by uninvited guests, romantic entanglements, and unexpected distractions. Isabelle McNally and a hilarious Brian Geraghty round out the ensemble cast of New York art world characters in this romantic comedy from director Adam Rapp. -Cara Cusuman, Tribeca Film Festival.
Directed by Adam Rapp. Starring Michael Godere, Ivan Martin, Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, Brian Geraghty and Isabelle McNally. 2014. 75 min. USA.

A Spike Lee Joint, DA SWEET BLOOD OF JESUS is a new kind of love story, one that centers on an addiction to blood that once doomed a long forgotten ancient African tribe. When Dr. Hess Green (Stephen Tyrone Williams) is introduced to a mysteriously cursed artifact by an art curator, Lafayette Hightower (Elvis Nolasco), he is uncontrollably drawn into a newfound thirst for blood that overwhelms his soul. He however is not a vampire. Lafayette quickly succumbs to the ravenous nature of the infliction but leaves Hess a transformed man. Soon Lafayette's wife, Ganja Hightower (Zaraah Abrahams), comes looking for her husband and becomes involved in a dangerous romance with Hess that questions the very nature of love, addiction, sex, and status in our seemingly sophisticated society. A reinterpretation of Bill Gunn's horror cult film "Ganja & Hess", which played as a Critics' Choice at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, Spike Lee's stylized thriller features an Original Score by Bruce Hornsby.

1.How do I become a CIS major? - Students can declare the major at any time at the Office of the Registrar. The first course required in the CIS program is Introduction to Computing and Programming (MAT 271). MAT 271 requires students to write computer programs in C++. This course will give you a good idea if the CIS major is for you. However, before you can take MAT 271 or any MAT 200 level computer courses, you must complete a mathematics requirement. The mathematics requirement for MAT 271 is MAT 105 or the equivalent. In other words, you can take MAT 271 if you have had any one of the following courses: MAT 104, MAT 105, MAT 141 or MAT 241. In general, if you have a strong high school mathematics background and have had courses beyond algebra in high school, for example, trigonometry, pre-calculus or calculus, you can register for MAT 271 without taking a mathematics course at John Jay. Also, if you have satisfied the prerequisite at another College, you can register for MAT 271. The Department can provide additional information. Please note that ENG 101 is a prerequisite for all 200-level courses at the College. 2. Whom should I see for advisement about this major? - Look at the Academics section of this website, which will give you the faculty advisors for this major as well as those for other academic programs offered by the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. The Academics section will also link you to the list of required courses for this major. If you don't find an answer on this website, contact the Department secretary to make an appointment with an advisor. In addition, instructors in your CIS courses often are able to answer questions about the CIS program. Many of the questions students ask are answered in this FAQs section. Please note that the responses assume that you are a CIS major and do not apply to the general student population. If you have any additional questions, please consult with a Mathematics Department CIS advisor. 3. Can I use MAT 260 as an elective? - No, MAT 260 cannot be used as a Part III elective in the CIS major. If you take this course, you will still have to choose two elective courses from Part III. 4. In what order do I take the CIS core courses in Part I? - This chart shows two possible appropriate sequences. Semester I is the semester that you begin the CIS program. Semester I: MAT 271 Semester II: MAT 272 Semester III: MAT 373 and MAT 375 or MAT 374 and MAT 377 Semester IV: MAT 374 and MAT 377 or MAT 373 and MAT 375 You must take MAT 271 first and then take MAT 272. You cannot take these courses concurrently. After you have completed MAT 271 and MAT 272, you can take the 300-level CIS core courses (MAT 373, 374, 375, 377) in any order. Most students take MAT 373 and MAT 375 in one semester, and then take MAT 374 and MAT 377 the next semester. Please do not try to take more than two 300-level CIS core courses in a single semester. 5. I had computer courses in another college. Can I skip MAT 271? - If you had a programming course in C or C++ and you have received transfer credit for MAT 271, you should be prepared for MAT 272. However, if your previous programming course used a language other then C or C++, you should take MAT 271. 6. What mathematics courses should I take to satisfy the college-wide Skills Requirement? - The CIS Mathematics Requirements satisfy the College-wide skills requirements in Mathematics. There is no need to take MAT 103, 104, or 105 unless CUNY COMPASS assessment exam results indicate these are necessary. CIS students should not take MAT 108. Typically CIS students take Precalculus (MAT 141) followed by a one year calculus sequence (MAT 241 and MAT 242). Students with strong high school mathematics backgrounds may be able to skip MAT 141 and place directly in to MAT 241.
7. Which mathematics courses are important for CIS majors? - Students bound for graduate studies should complete the entire calculus sequence: MAT 241, 242 and 243. The list of requirements can be accessed through the Academics section of this website. 8. Can I take more than two courses from the electives section Part III? - Yes, although the major only requires two electives from Part III, most CIS students take additional electives to prepare for specific graduate programs or career opportunities. In addition to two electives in the CIS major, there are at least seven college-wide electives. Most students use their college-wide electives to take courses in their major area of study. 9. How can I satisfy the internship requirement (Criminal Justice Specialization)? - You can register for MAT 404 when you have the necessary prerequisites and simply attend the course. If you want an internship off-campus, go to the Office of Cooperative Education (Room 3235N) and select a location. The office has a list of organizations that participate in the College's Internship Program. If you select an off-campus site, you still must register for MAT 404. Also, you must get the permission of the instructor of MAT 404. The internship is usually taken in the senior year. 10. Which operations research sequence should I take? - All CIS students take MAT 323 and 324. 11. What are the Applied Specializations? - The major has Applied Specializations in Criminal Justice and Public Administration. The Mathematics Department offers courses in the Criminal Justice Specialization. The Department of Public Management offers courses in the Public Administration Specialization. For information on the Public Administration Specialization, please call the Department of Public Management (212.237.8070). Courses in the Criminal Justice specialization examine computing and mathematical methodologies that are having a significant impact on the practice of criminal justice. Currently these include computer security, database systems, computer networks, operations research and distributed information systems. 12. When do I choose a specialization? - You can choose a specialization when you declare a major. You can change your specialization at any time. However, you should select one by your junior year since most courses in a specialization are taken in the junior and senior years. 13. How many courses are in the specializations? - Each specialization requires four courses. 14. What is the prerequisite for MAT 271? - Students can take MAT 271 if they have successfully completed MAT 104 or MAT 105, or a higher-level math course. Consult with the Mathematics Dept. if you have difficulty registering for MAT 271. 15. What mathematics courses should a CIS major take? - For students who entered the college after September 2002, the mathematics requirements for the CIS degree are the following: MAT 141 (if necessary), MAT 204 and MAT 241-242. CIS majors should take the CUNY COMPASS assessment test. Test results will determine if students can place directly into MAT 141 or 241. For example, students who have not had trigonometry in high school algebra usually take MAT 141 as their first mathematics course. Students who have had trigonometry in high school normally take MAT 241 as their first mathematics course. Please note that CIS majors should not take MAT 108. In addition, CIS students should only take MAT 103, 104, or 105 if the assessment test results indicate these courses are necessary. -Students who entered the college prior to September 2002 should consult with the Mathematics & Computer Science Department before selecting mathematics courses.

Get your car moving smoothly with driveline parts from Sears
Over time, different parts in your car might begin to give out. Driveline parts always need to be in top condition when the rubber meets the road. If you begin hearing clunking sounds or feel vibrations during acceleration or turns, this can be a sign that components in your driveline need to be replaced. Sears carries all types of driveline parts to get your vehicle performing in top shape immediately.
The driveline is made of various parts that help kick your vehicle's wheels in motion. This section of your car includes parts of the power train, which contains everything from the driveshaft to transmission mounts. As these parts wear down, make sure to repair them with high-grade components to work in conjunction with your engine and transmission. You'll find heavy-duty yokes, joints and other driveline parts for almost any car, truck or SUV.
One of the most essential driveline components in your car is the axle. When this part breaks, your ride might experience rumbling during acceleration or hear sputtering noises throughout the commute. When one of your axles wear out, choose from a collection of standard and performance axles for most types of vehicles.
Whether you're looking to repair the transmission or replace driveshaft components, you need top-of-the-line parts to ensure a safe trip. Sears carries the driveline parts to get almost any ride running smoothly.

It got its wish.
This February Pruce fired off another letter to the company, this time contending that Miller had stolen his idea and used it in an alcohol-awareness advertisement shown during last year's NBA playoffs.
"Part of the irony is that I'm positive I was drinking a Miller beer at the time I saw the ad on TV," the 44-year-old Arvada resident adds.
When he came up with the concept back in 1988, "it was just another weird idea I thought would fly," says Pruce, who once spent his birthday sleeping on the pavement outside US West in order to procure a 976 line. "The idea was to come up with some slogans that might get it much more accepted," he explains. "`Drinking and driving is a penalty'; `Drugs are a penalty.' Things that I thought were a penalty in life. And I came up with `Know When to Pass,' which seemed to cover all the bases."
He had the phrase silk-screened onto squares of yellow fabric that resembled flags used at football games and auto races, then named his creations "Official Penalty Flag" and "Official Caution Flag."
"The fans could play like a referee," Pruce says. "If a bad call was made, they could wave the flag around. But there was also a social statement to it." For example, he suggests, a flag could be used to warn someone who had had too much to drink that he should pass his car keys to a designated driver.
In summer 1989 Pruce approached a member of the Coors family about the idea when they were staying at the same Las Vegas hotel. The Adolph Coors Company actually tested the concept for about two months before it decided to pass. After that, Pruce says, "I sent it to anybody I thought might have that type of power and money and might have an interest in doing something along those lines."
Among those Pruce contacted: Donald Trump, whose spokesman said the flag wasn't "within the investment parameters of the Trump Organization"; the NFL, which refused to officially sanction the "Official Penalty Flag"; the Los Angeles Police Department, which rejected the idea with a nice thank-you note from then-chief Daryl Gates; former mayors Ed Koch and Federico Pena, who both declined Pruce's offer; and the MADD organization, which wasn't particularly crazy about the flags, either.
Anheuser-Busch didn't mince words in its rejection letter: The idea was a ripoff of its "Know When to Say When" slogan, the brewer charged, essentially ordering Pruce to cease and desist.
"I just said screw it," Pruce remembers, and never responded.
After waving the flag for a year and having nothing more to show for it than rejections from almost twenty corporations, Pruce put the idea on hold and moved to California to try his luck with a publishing venture.
Pruce was still there during the 1993 NBA playoffs when he caught a Miller ad featuring Larry Bird. After offering a thirty-second lecture on the dangers of drinking and driving, the NBA legend turned to the camera and said: "Know when to pass."
"When I first saw this commercial, I went into this panic mode," Pruce remembers, "because I had just recently emptied out my files and I had seen a bunch of this stuff left over from the penalty flag and thrown it away. I literally went nuts and started screaming. Other than changing a couple of words, it's exactly what I proposed to them."
When Pruce moved back to Colorado late last year, he says he contacted every attorney in the Yellow Pages before he found one who might take his case.
"We thought it might be something," says Frank Grassler, a lawyer who specializes in patents and trademarks. "We went out and researched the case law--cases involving advertising laws, submission of ideas of other people--and when we looked at the previous decisions, we found that you have to make it clear you expect compensation." Pruce had not mentioned compensation in his letter to Miller, Grassler notes, and "because of that, he would not have had a good chance of prevailing."
There was another legal obstacle to Pruce's case: He'd never paid the Library of Congress the $20 fee necessary to copyright his promotion. "I think the attorneys did what they could do," Pruce says. "And they told me, `Just because we didn't come up with something doesn't mean there's nothing there.'"
So Pruce took matters into his own hands and wrote Miller to demand compensation.
He received a quick reply from James Koester, general counsel for the company: "Miller maintains a large staff and retains the services of outside agencies who are constantly at work on the development of both old and new ideas for promoting the sale of our products. It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the ideas submitted to us by the general public are similar to, or identical with, those being developed by our general staff." In order to prevent just such misunderstandings, Koester's letter continued, Miller doesn't accept unsolicited ideas pertaining to packaging, advertising or sales promotion.

Nicolaes Berchem Dutch, 1656 Black chalk, pen and brown ink, brown and gray wash with contours incised 5 1/2 x 7 1/8 in. 2004.56
A man and woman lead their herd across a shimmering ford. The woman has already entered the shallow water and hikes up her skirt. A hefty cow tentatively dips its front hooves into the water. The hatted herdsman brings up the rear with a long stick in his hand. The group's movement is anchored around a pair of large trees that cross at the center of the composition. Nicolaes Berchem liberally applied brown wash to the figures, animals, and central trees. Pools of wash in the foreground water evoke cast shadows. Behind the group, layers of gray wash contrast with the white paper to convey raking, midday sunlight. On top of the gray wash, Berchem's sketchy use of pen and brown ink suggest slightly rugged foliage. During the mid-1600s, Berchem was one of the most popular Dutch artists working in an Italianate style. This drawing does not feature any typical Italian motifs, like columns or ruins, but the sun-drenched scene suggests an idyllic Mediterranean setting. In the century after Berchem's death, collectors across Europe sought out these pastoral views. To meet the continued demand for his work, engravings were made after his drawings; this sheet was incised to be made into a print.

Jorge Quintero Jr., 31, had his first experience in the produce industry when he was only about 5 years old.
"My dad was a field inspector, and he took me around to sheds, and I'd see what he was doing with the quality control," he said.
He never expected to join the industry himself, but after college, his father encouraged him to give it a shot.
"I got a job as a sales assistant at SunFed, Nogales, Ariz., and over the next few years became a full-time salesman," he said.
While in his position there, he met Luis Caballero, who was working in grower relations. The two joked about combining areas of expertise and opening up their own company, but Quintero said he never expected it to happen so soon. They formed Grower Alliance LLC in 2007.
"We saw the opportunity, gathered a little bit of money and went for it," Quintero said. "And that whole first year we had some really good markets."
After the initial success, Quintero hired his father, Jorge Quintero Sr., to add a boost to the sales staff, who also became a partner when he came on board.
Quintero Jr. says his father has been his biggest mentor, while Jorge Quintero Sr. says he's quite proud of all his son's accomplishments, citing his good communication skills as a key part of his success.
"When he's dealing with customers, he really hears what the customer needs and is able to develop the services they need so we can give them better service," Jorge Quintero Sr. said.
He's also confident that all the sales experience his son has acquired early in life will help him develop into a stronger leader.
"He's always striving for more knowledge, and I think the experiences he's had with his sales jobs will help him be able to take over the managing part of our sales team."
The young company, now in its sixth year, has seen continued growth.
"We've seen growth every single year, and last year we purchased our own warehouse," Jorge Quintero Jr. said.
For now, the company's main business is wholesale, but Quintero plans to increase the company's retail presence, which is currently not much over 5% of the business.
"We want to have a more direct relationship where we can offer our products year-round," he said. "That has been the biggest hurdle, but this year we've been able to close the gaps and have consistent supply so far."
Another issue early on was establishing clients.

Vitae on BBB 2010 Charity Seal List
By Martha Schieber
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Under the headline, "Start with Trust," the Vitae Foundation was one of a select few national organizations listed in a USA Today full-page ad as receiving the "seal" for the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Assistance Standards for Charity Accountability. It is only one of 266 nationwide participants in the Seal program. The ad first appeared in the April 13 edition of the most read newspaper in the country.
Organizations that comply with these accountability standards have provided documentation that they meet basic standards: In how they govern their organization; in the ways they spend their money; in the truthfulness of their representations; and, in their willingness to disclose basic information to the public.
The BBB Wise Giving Alliance Standards for Charity Accountability were developed to assist donors in making sound giving decisions and to foster public confidence in charitable organizations. The standards seek to encourage fair and honest solicitation practices, to promote ethical conduct by charitable organizations and to advance support of philanthropy.
Vitae is very proud to receive this recognition by the Better Business Bureau.
"By meeting the BBB's Wise Giving Assistance Standard's for Charity Accountability, individuals who give to Vitae can be assured that their donations are used wisely and in a manner that supports Vitae's goals," Carl Landwehr, President of Vitae Foundation, stated. "As a national organization which uses media campaigns to reach women facing unplanned pregnancies, we've worked diligently to foster a culture of life and have saved countless unborn babies and their mothers since 1992."
To help Vitae continue its media efforts and save unborn babies, please visit www.vitaecaringfoundation.organd click on the "Donate" button.

Would you normally tile a wall and then install a vanity or install the vanity and tile to the vanity? Would it matter if the bathroom was a very upscale master bath or a more budget installation? (this is a built-in look) |

Tile the whole wall behind the vanity. If you want/need to replace the vanity in the future, you don't want a hole that may be an odd size to fill. Same reason you run the floor tile under the vanity. |
It is more the side of the vanity I'm concerned about than the back. I have a window on the side and I'm tiling under the window and then it runs into the vanity and I think it looks better to have the tile on the wall before the vanity is placed. Just to be clear, you are saying to tile backspash all the way down to the floor behind the cabinet? I'm guessing you would recommend tiling the side walls also before placing vanity? |
If I had a vanity, and only had a backsplash to tile, I'd install the vanity, then the counter, then the backsplash. If I had the wall tiled, either a wainscot or a full wall, I'd tile first then the vanity, regardless if it was the side or back of the vanity. |

What enduring said. |

I agree to tile behind the vanity. I am planning our upcoming bath remodel and this is how I am thinking about the tile and the vanity: the vanity I put in now meets today's needs. There may come a day when I need wheelchair access and the vanity may be too much in the way. In my case, the sink I am using can then be hung on the wall. Others may find that they might want different changes down the road. By tiling the floor and the wall, you retain the ability to make changes to the bathroom. Get a smaller vanity and add a bidet; get a larger vanity with room to do a diaper change - there are a world of possibilities. |

1966 Pontiac GTO
Recognizing the GTO's growing popularity, Pontiac promoted it from a Tempest option to a model of its own for '66. The Goat rewarded Pontiac with sales of 96,946 units, the highest one-year total ever attained by a true muscle car.
Credit for its success was twofold. Other GM divisions had copied the GTO with hotter versions of their intermediates, but like Ford's new Fairlane GT, none captured the Goat's all-around appeal. Mopar had the performance, but no special muscle models. And while all GM midsize cars were restyled for '66, none matched the beauty of the GTO's voluptuous new Coke-bottle contours.
Wheelbase was untouched, and overall length and curb weights changed negligibly. But styling highlights included a graceful new roofline and cool fluted taillamps. The unique GTO grille had mesh-pattern inserts made of plastic — an industry first.
The standard hood scoop remained nonfunctional, but Tri-Power engines could again get an over-the-counter fresh-air kit, and a few were equipped with the Goat's first factory Ram Air. A small number of GTOs were ordered with a boss new option: weight-reducing red plastic inner fender liners. Inside, the new instrument-surround was genuine wood.
The four-barrel 389 continued at 335 bhp. The $113 triple-two-barrel had 360 bhp (with or without Ram Air), but production ceased at midyear when GM outlawed multi-carb engines for all but the Corvette. Three- and four-speed manuals and a two-speed automatic could be had with factory axles spanning 3.08:1 to 4.33:1.
Car Life's four-speed four-barrel with 3.08 gears and air conditioning ran a 15.4 quarter at 92 mph and got 12.4 mpg. The magazine said the lightly loaded rear wheels of its nose-heavy test car would "skitter and skip on anything but the driest pavement." Braking power was poor, but the shifter was sweet, the motor willing, and assembly quality high. That, and that beautiful new body, obviously was the formula for success in '66.

I tried this (64-bit version, as there is no 32-bit edition anymore) on a live USB system made through the "dd" command; due to Chakra now using the GFXBoot tool for booting, neither MultiSystem nor UnetBootin worked, and I didn't have any other data on this USB drive, so I was OK with using that tool. This review almost didn't happen because right after the boot menu, the message "invalid or corrupt kernel image" would come up. I decided to give this one last shot by downloading the ISO file again and trying again, and it worked! Follow the jump to see what it's like.
As mentioned before, Chakra uses the GFXBoot tool to make the boot menu more friendly; thanks to my use of "dd" rather than MultiSystem, I could see this native boot menu in action. It certainly looks a lot nicer than the standard boot menus, and it works well too. After that came a scrolling wall of text, followed by a nice Chakra-branded KDE splash screen; that has the Chakra name and logo above a spinning progress meter on a smooth gray background, which looks quite slick and professional. After that came the desktop; I should say before that though that at various points, I had to log out and log back in, and the KDM login screen looks stunning in Chakra.
The desktop is fairly typical of KDE and Chakra, which is to say that there is one standard panel on the bottom, and the KDE Plasma widget on the desktop is the one helping new users navigate Chakra. The KDE Plasma theme is called "Dharma", and it looks really slick; one thing I particularly like about it is that it makes distinguishing active, inactive, and minimized windows in the taskbar very easy, which is something that a lot of other popular KDE Plasma themes fail to do. Other than that, the desktop is fairly standard.
Mozilla Firefox + Calligra Words |
Rekonq is the default browser, but Mozilla Firefox can be installed as a "bundle": this means that it essentially functions as a standalone program similar to what PC-BSD does with PBIs, so that no GTK+ and other dependencies clutter the base Chakra system. That installed and worked fine. It seems like most codecs seem to be included, as YouTube and Hulu worked fine. My laptop's volume keyboard shortcuts were recognized, but not out-of-the-box; they had to be enabled in the KDE System Settings program, as the default settings were to have no keyboard shortcuts controlling the volume, which is weird.
In keeping with the theme of pure KDE applications, the default productivity software is Calligra. It focuses very heavily on templates, which isn't quite like how I learned to use these programs, so using them was a little strange; anyway, I don't use these except for the spreadsheet program much, so it isn't a huge deal.
Aside from that, included in the live session are some standard KDE tools, along with Dragon Player, SpiderOak, and others.
Dolphin is as usual the default file browser. I was also able to install KLook, which is the KDE equivalent of Gloobus-Preview, through CCR. Unfortunately, although it generally worked, it would not start simply by pressing 'SPACE'; I had to manually pick it from the list of programs available to make it preview a file. It seems like an additional patch is required for Dolphin to make it recognize and work with the existence of KLook. Anyway, Dolphin's preview pane does a fine job of previewing files, although it is always present in the main window and thus takes up too much space when it is not previewing anything.
Also, I've found that Dolphin doesn't do as good of a job at recognizing external partitions as Nautilus, and I wanted to see if that has changed. Thankfully, Dolphin in Chakra now recognizes both my external and internal hard drives as well as my video camera, which is great.
