BCBG Max Azria Pre-Fall 2013 | Pictures
BCBG Max Azria Pre-Fall 2013
A trip to Istanbul inspired Max and Lubov Azria to create a softer collection for Pre-Fall 2013 than the leather-infused offering they turned out for Spring.
Here, instead of the strappy harnesses that adorned the bodice, there were soft ruffles of fabric that spilled from the necklines and shoulders of shirts and dresses. Pants were cut wide, and as with a number of other designers this season, the Azrias let a few skirts fall below the knee to midcalf.
You can see the Turkish capital literally in mosaic-tile prints and rich color choices — like the tomato red of a dress with sheer sleeves decorated with buttons of varying sizes. But it was also felt in flounces like lace insets and decorative cuffs. "It's such a romantic place," Max said. "It was really influential of the collection's mood."

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Violent protests outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunis against an anti-Muslim film were met with tear gas and gunshots Friday, leaving two people dead, around 40 others injured and plumes of black smoke wafting over the city.
Several dozen protesters briefly stormed the U.S. Embassy compound in Tunisia's capital, tearing down the American flag and raising a flag with the Muslim profession of faith on it as part of the protests. Protesters also set fire to and looted an American school adjacent to the embassy compound and prevented firefighters from approaching it. The school appeared to be empty and no injuries were reported.
Earlier, several thousand demonstrators had gathered outside the U.S. Embassy, including stone-throwing protesters who clashed with police, according to an Associated Press reporter on the scene. Police responded with gunshots and tear gas. Police and protesters held running battles in the streets of Tunis. Amid the unrest, youths set fire to cars in the embassy parking lot and pillaged businesses nearby.
The state news agency TAP, citing the health ministry, said both of those killed were demonstrators, while the injured included protesters and police. Two of the injured were in critical condition, the health ministry said.
A Tunisian employee of the U.S. Embassy who had an injured leg was taken out on a stretcher to an ambulance. It wasn't immediately clear if there were any other injuries. Embassy officials did not respond to calls and emails.

I just played a game where I could only buy machete and 3 pots. I still had 70 gold in the hud, but in the store it said I had -35 gold and would not let me buy anymore pots. I did not buy anything and sell it to lose the gold. I tried closing the store and opening it and I stayed at nexus until I had to leave to jungle but nothing changed. I still had the gold but could not spend it. It later corrected itself, but starting with only 3 pots is very tough in the jungle. I think it fixed itself when I died but I am not sure. No idea how to repo 1) Start a game 2) Hope you see the bug
lol something similar happned, i had 400 gold then i bought flask and it went to -85 and then fixed
We have a confirmation!
Junior Member
I tried to buy an item that I had enough gold for and couldn't at first. It eventually worked after I kept spamming clicks on the item and the buy button and by closing and reopening the shop multiple times.
Nhea Samaye
I constantly had this bug happen while I was playing, almost every item I bought that was worth over 400 caused me to breifly go into the negatives for gold then a few seconds later back to the proper amounts.
Goguma XO
This happened to me today. Map: Summoner's Rift Queue type: Normal Blind Pick Champion: Zed Same situation as OP. Bought Machete and 3 pots. Had 70 gold left, which in-game HUD showed correctly, but shop showed -35 gold. Purchase button was grayed out, and was unable to purchase additional pots. Tried closing and re-opening the shop many times, didn't help. Tried leaving fountain and recalling back in, didn't help. I kept checking, for as long as I can, even after I was forced to leave base to head to the jungle. I saw that as soon as it hit 1:30 on the clock and gold regen started, this problem fixed itself. Still was forced to start jungle with only 3 potions though, due to the time, leashing from team mates, etc.
yeah happened to me once that I noticed, bought something then it said i had -384 (or whatever) gold & bounced back to a positive #. made me giggle
i've had -325 gold. Just closed the store and re-opened it and my gold was reset back to normal.
Mine is similar and happens throughout the game. If I buy an item(s) it will say I have more gold still and can buy more. And when building an item I will use all my gold on first item and it says I still have the gold and can buy the final product when i clearly can't. Everything is lit up like I can, but I can't.

Audio Processing
FM, AM, Mic & Internet Audio
Wheatstone Audio Processing
Deliver sound so good, you can feel it. Bring it on with Wheatstone's ultra high resolution Vorsis processors for voice, AM, FM on-air or streaming. Sound that's loud, yet detailed. Only Wheatstone offers processors with the surgical precision of 31-band processing for audio detail that sings! It's the Vorsis advantage and it's all inside: brilliant highs, articulate vocals, bold bass…ambience. If you need sound shaping for FM, AM, HD, television, webcasting, podcasting, mastering or live audio, this is the place.
Processing Tip
Here's a helpful tip from Wheatstone Processing Guy Mike Erickson on keeping track of presets:
"One thing I try to remember to do when I'm making presets for a new install, or adjusting presets on a processor that's already online, is to date the presets. This not only gives you a good track record as to when you created that perfect sound, but it also allows you to go back if the PD complains that the processing 'sounded better last week' ... you'll know what preset to go back to even if you didn't physically write it down! Saving presets with the dates allows you to do the processing version of 'System Restore.' Also, it's a good idea to back up your presets. ALWAYS! I recall a Memorial Day failure of a processor in Market #1 going back almost 7 years ago. The backup switched on via silence sensor and I was able to swap out the main with another of the same model we had on the shelf and load the custom presets. Within an hour, we were back sounding as good as you could get with that box! The PD was nervous while I was swapping hardware that we wouldn't sound the same because all the presets were lost on the hardware. If I hadn't backed up the presets, weeks of work would have been down the drain."
This tip is brought to you by our new FM-55 audio processor, which is so easy to adjust from the front panel, you might want to save and date presets for the presets.
The Scoop on Codecs for IP Audio
Using the Internet for audio distribution makes sense, but the problem is a little like the holiday rush at the Post Office.
There are simply too many packets of data for the pipeline.
You need a codec to bit-reduce the audio stream. So what's it going to be? AptX, Opus, G.722 or AAC, and if so, which version of AAC? We asked Charlie Gawley from Tieline, "The Codec Company" and a Wheatstone technology partner, to fill us in on Opus, the EBU ACIP standard, and how the AES67 factors into the use of codecs for IP audio delivery.
WS: Before we get started, I have to ask you about the new Opus audio codec that everyone's talking about. What is your experience with this codec?
CG: This algorithm is extremely robust thanks to development by a number of programmers from Xiph.org, Skype and other partners of Xiph. At the low end, it will do voice at the equivalent of G.722 but at one-fifth the audio bit rate. That's a huge benefit for anyone wanting to send audio over a wireless network, which, as you know, has severe bandwidth limitations. You can run Opus at 14.4 kbps and have near the same audio quality as G.722 at 64 kbps.
Hand it Over, Internet
If you're thinking about handing over program distribution to the public internet, Brian Kerkan of Crawford Broadcasting has some advice for you.
Do yourself a favor and oversubscribe on bandwidth if you're not able to set up a guaranteed QoS network, he says. His group in Detroit is paying around $100 a month for 20 megabits/second upstream.

Oh, The Voices -- Part II: Adjusting for Taste
by Steve Dove, Minister of Algorithms
The most basic, and arguably the most powerful, tool for getting vocals to sound good is equalization.
It has two primary uses, to correct for errors or for artistic effect. Compression and limiting also can be useful for adjusting vocals, as I cover in some detail below.
But first, this PSA: The worst judge of microphone processor settings is the one doing the talking. Most folk swoon over massive proximity effect bass and vertigo-inducing compression in their own headphones, to extents that would be ludicrous on-air. Someone other than the talent should do the equalization and dynamics adjustments, thank you very much.
Oh, the Voices (Part 1)
Part I: Tidying Up Talent Vocals
By Steve Dove, Wheatstone Minister of Algorithms
The microphone processor has long been important but in recent years it has become vital. Mainly this is due to the recent trend of referencing audio to 0dBfs (the maximum signal level in a digital system) rather than the cozy old nominal 0dB VU.
Mike Erickson is THAT Processing Guy
Writing in the October 15 issue of Radio World, Wheatstone's Mike Erickson describes what it's like to be "that guy," the one who arrives in town with an audio processor under his arm and delivers on the promises.Here's a reprint, courtesy of Radio World.

From our Wheatstone family to yours, we'd like to wish you peace and joy this holiday season, and a very happy and prosperous 2015.
Outta Control!
We've just started to ship our new Screen Builder app, and already the many uses for this software app that lets you create custom screens for the WheatNet-IP audio network are rolling in.
Our new Screen Builder app has faders, meters, labels, buttons, clocks, timers and other widgets that you can arrange on a PC screen and program to create your own custom control interface for level adjusting, monitoring and more.
Chris Penny from Agile Broadcast in Australia told us about this interesting application for Screen Builder. (Shown in the photo at left: click to zoom in.)

"The screen I built for this studio is for a producer. It allows IFB in to the right channel of a host/guest headphone by simply pressing on their chair. The 'dot' in front of the chairs (on the desk) lights up to show the mic is switched ON. Buttons to the right give the producer full monitoring of all outside broadcast lines in the facility, and he can talk to any remote talent by pressing the IFB button for the desired line. Group talkback to all guests is available by pressing 'talkback all guests;' or to every headphone by pressing the 'Roosevelt' button (Roosevelt is the name of the studio). A source selector on the left side of the screen allows the producer to monitor a variety of program sources, and a PC button mixes in the producer's Internet computer to the monitor mix. Additional controls include delay DUMP (which illuminates when delay is full) and Aircom, which sends the producer's talkback microphone to the On Air mix via an AirAura processor (to colour the sound so it mimics an intercom/ and control dynamics)."
Other uses for Screen Builder include monitoring transmitter levels and logic at various sites, locating and controling all hardware in the audio network, and monitoring studios in different locations.
Here's a quick video from Wheatstone's VP/Technology, Andy Calvanese, describing Screen Builder.
Quick Stop at WXXI
From time to time we check in with our customers to see how things are going. This month, we found the folks at WXXI AM/FM/TV in good spirits and busier than ever.
Kent Hatfield in charge of audio operations for WXXI television and radio showed us around the facility, which has clearly seen a lot of changes since the Rochester, New York, pubcaster set up shop with ten Wheatstone D-9 and G series consoles networked into a Wheatstone TDM system 12 years ago.
Audio Performance Testing on the Cheap
There's nothing like a little audio performance testing to cap off a hectic week at the station, especially if you don't have to haul out the heavy (read "expensive") equipment to do it.
There are two main things I like to test: the flatness of the frequency response and the distortion added by equipment in the air chain. For this, you'll need clean test signals, and a way to measure those signals after they've passed through the air chain.
3 Things You Need to Know About Network Switches
You're about to embark on a social experiment.
You've selected the perfect control surfaces and the audio network is almost laid out for your new studios. Everyone and everything speaks broadcast and, so far, you haven't had to take up IT as a second language. But now you're about to drop a couple of network switches into the middle of it all and you're worried that things could erupt into a civil war between this newer IT world and the radio cavalry.
SBE's Snelson on Radio in an IT World
We called up Joe Snelson to congratulate him on his recent re-election as the president of the Society of Broadcast Engineers, and to talk about 4K, file-based IP video, and the state of broadcasting in general. In addition to his role as president of SBE, Joe is the Vice President of Engineering for Meredith.
WS: A lot has changed since you started in broadcasting – especially in the last five years with the introduction of IP technology.
JS: A counterpart of mine once said any equipment vendor that is making equipment without an Ethernet connector on the back of it is doomed to go out of business. Even the inner workings of broadcast gear is that way. I can hardly think of any engineer who isn't somewhat IT savvy today.
Sound Off
Our friends south of the border sure know how to do radio. When we sent our audio processing specialist Mike Erickson packing to Radio Grupo in the Mexican city of Aguascalientes last month, we expected him to come back with tales of AM flamethrowers and hot tamales.
Instead, he wound up doing something he rarely gets to do at a Top 40 station: setting the sound for clarity first and loudness second. "They were going for long term listening and clean sound, which is a welcome change for guys like me who appreciate some dynamic range," says Mike. "When processing for CHR, it's usually loud and exaggerated. But they wanted open, clear and engaging!"
KBEM Rethinks Facility with WheatNet-IP
Michael Jamnick tells the story of revitalizing KBEM using WheatNet-IP AoIP networking technology.
Writing in the August 2014 issue of Radio magazine, Jamnick tells of his challenges when taking over as engineer of the station as, along with station management, he began to rethink the technical plant. A reprint can be downloaded at this link, courtesy of Radio magazine.

Kids in camo

The Albert kindergarten and day care center in the central Taiwan city of Taichung is as joyful and vibrant as any other, with its colorful plastic slides and trampolines, but what makes it different is the children. From five to nine years old wearing camouflage uniforms they practice crawling and handstands on foam cushions in the front yard, copying the training of army special forces frogmen.

Emerging markets' export problem
Taiwan's forecast-beating export data today came as a pleasant surprise amid the general emerging markets economic gloom. In a raft of developing countries, from South Korea to Brazil, from Malaysia to the Czech Republic, export data has disappointed. HSBC's monthly PMI index showed this month that recovery remains subdued.
from Global Investing:
More EM central banks join the easing crew
Taiwan and Philippines have joined the easing crew. Taiwan cut interbank lending rates for the first time in 33 months on Friday while Philippines lowered the rate it pays banks on short-term special deposits. Hardly surprising. Given South Koreas's shock rate cut on Thursday, its first in over three years, and China's two rate cuts in quick succession, the spread of monetary easing across Asia looks inevitable. Markets are now betting the Reserve Bank of India will also cut rates in July.

Where will the FDI flow?
For years the four mighty BRIC nations have grabbed increasing shares of world investment flows. But the coming years may not be so kind. These countries bring up the bottom of the Economic Freedom Index (EFI) for 2012. Compiled by Washington D.C.-based think-tank The Heritage Foundation the EFI measures 10 freedoms -- from property rights to entrepreneurship -- and according to a note out today from RBS economists, there is a strong positive link between a country's EFI score and the amount of FDI (foreign direct investment) it can secure. So the more "free" a country, the more FDI inflows it can expect to receive -- that's what an RBS analysis of 2002-2008 investment flows shows.

Kyle 5pts Refreshing, on the looks department, it really is a shame they didn't do more with the powertrains though. They will sell though to the sheep.
CALI-LIFER 5pts my dad likes it. hes 65 years old!! lol hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! the name says it all its a TOY!! OH AND REVOLTING due to the lack of more effort!!
d cope 5pts so you tell me toyota is better because its more anerican then the american trucks and its made by japanes mfg. toyota witch one is it US or japan your boyfriend or your wife get the hell out of my country dip shit
d cope 5pts lets get this right toyota moter flyes in to usa has a meeting whith the gov. of texas promises lots of jobs asks for free land then asks the gov to raise taxs on every texan to help build the plant .1000 new jobs for texas all the other texans pay a new tax for ten years to pay japan for their plant .toyota moter corp. offers 37 models for sale inUS 26 of them are imported to US whith no US parts when you add all toyota models together the US parts content is 24% then take the parts made in US in forieng ownd factorys then take profits whitch are in the biilions and toyota is about 5% american
LoCO 5pts The updates to the exterior and interior are refreshing. This is a good looking truck that borrows some of the more angular features from the 4-Runner.Before anyone shoots me down for liking the design: that's a matter of judgment, so relax. BTW, I also like the redesigned GM twins and the Ford Atlas concept. The lack of revisions to the engines and transmission are a big disappointment. I was hoping for better fuel mileage. To the folks who keep posting videos about the Tundra's frame stiffness: higher frame flex does not equate lesser durability. Bridges are designed to flex, but it does mean they fall apart quickly.
GinjaNinja 5pts http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zRfE_XAk2mEToyota should have addressed this before trying (failing) to make it look better.
GinjaNinja 5pts Along with the atrocious looks, Toyota locks in a solid last place for powertrain tech and fuel economy. This is a completely inadequate update and sales will suffer as a result. Epic Fail.Toyota, you just simply cant run with the big dawgs. Return to what you do best and revive the Tacoma.
MurderMahoney 5pts inside: ford/dodge outside: back end: chevy/nissan, up front>>>>stupid REVOLTING MAJOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1_cmf 5pts Interior much better. The exterior is okay until you get to the nose, it's ugly. I'm surprised no diesel is offered or a blown six. Nissan will have the Cummins I-4 with the Titan. This is going to attract a lot of buyers. Will they sell? Yes. Will it knock off a bigger slice of the market? No. No diesel, no upgrades to the frame and the power numbers from GM hasn't released it's HP numbers.
Madison93x 5pts Its certainly not groundbreaking, but I guess its refreshing. The Tundra has its faults, but I don't things that its faults hampers it from being a capable truck. Besides, the F150 has had the same basic body shape since like 06 itself so I see no shame in Toyota's game Haha.
drivensite 5pts Revolting. What a let down. 7 years since the last model was rolled out and still no powertrain on mpg improvements? Honda Ridgeline headlights, worst grille design ever, Ram tailgate, and F150 copycat interior....glad I'm not drawn to get the 2014. This will help Toyota lost marketshare even faster. Moving Forward is their tag line, but this seems to be the opposite.
planblove 5pts If the Ford Atlas concept truly is the next F-150 then they have nothing to worry about. Tundra looks almost the same. Props on the interior though, much better.
Sam338 5pts Style wise it is really refreshing, however it´s disappointing that they didn´t update the powertrain. I was hopping for a real update specially in their V6 since is the same since like forever. It was a pretty amazing truck in 07 and it push a wake up in D3 trucks but Toyota need do better than this if they want to take a piece of the pickup truck cake.
Mad Money Blue 82 5pts If I wanted to sit in a Ford, I'll get a Ford... Looks the same to me. Was never a bad looking truck IMO! Like 92Vectra put it, "it's just merely revised"... Good day Folks..
razormj29 5pts Just like gm and dodge looks same like a updated model, what's the deal? Running out of truck molds lol? Geeeeez
92Vectra1.6i 5pts It has a new grill / headlights/ taillights and an updated interior. It is neither Refreshing or Revolting, merely Revised....
João Ricardo 5pts The exterior is nice but the interior is soo poor when compared with the 2014 silverado
Lon 5pts Toyota has retreated, to of all places, the suburbs, with their 2014 Tundra. Unfortunately I've been overwhelmed with negative comments from all the current owners in our community. They feel let down again as Toyota has ignored their comments, and pushed the world a truck that most simply do not want.Fancy leather stitching and revised sheet metal does not make a truck. It's supposed to begin with what's under the hood, and none of us want to drive 7 year old technology. Apparently the mechanical engineers went out for cocktails in 2007, and never came back.
Mchicha 5pts Do you really need to ask? Everyone knows its revolting, its always been a fat pig with a bad wobly rusting frame and weak small displacement motors that get oil sludge, and is the queen of recalls.
BlackDynamiteOnline 5pts Something special for LightLoafersDiesel down there:<object width="960" height="720"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zi79PK73yjk?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zi79PK73yjk?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="960" height="720" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>BD
TundraDriver 5pts I own a 2010 Tundra CrewMax, and I don't see a reason to upgrade. I tow with my truck, I haul with my truck. I whoop other 1/2 ton trucks off the line while towing, and out pull them on the hills. After driving the Fords, and again driving the new SuperDuty with the 6.7Ltr diesel, I still don't find a reason to change trucks. The SD was FAST, but is still plagued by the lag off the line, and the long time for a downshift when it's important. The Tundra is instant. Yes, the shock valving on the rear is poor, and there are some other issues with it that are minor, but after driving the others in 2010, there was no comparison. I am disappointed that we aren't seeing a 6 ft bed on the crewmax, a redesign of the suspension and/or frame, or more horsepower. I think I'll keep what I have and put a supercharger on it. That will fix my mountain issue when I'm up at 9000 feet pulling my 34 foot trailer.
Rahji Punjab 5pts @d cope Ask your leader, d cope, .... hahaha."Fool me once, shame on — [pauses] — shame on you. Fool me — [pauses] — You can't get fooled again." - King GWB.
HEMI_LOL 5pts @d cope your lost!Toyota Motor Sales USA assembles 70% of its FULL lineup in the USA with 3 top ten most american content winners with camry at #1 (for years) the sienna at #6 and until this year the ONLY truck on the list for the last 5 years has been the Tundra and now Ford joined this year from all the criticism about NOT being on the list! OH PS this top ten list is WEIGHTED by sales. Otherwise the Venza and Avalon (only built in Georgtown KY) the Sequoia (only Princeton IN) the Corolla (mississippi and Ontario) the Tacoma (San Antonio & 10% build from Baja California) the Highlander (Princeton IN) ALL would be on this list! you sir are COMPLETELY clueless! Toyota Employes 180,000 PEOPLE directly and indirectly here in the USA with 18 BILLION dollar investment into the US economy. You should really open your eyes, this company takes care of its employees so well that no union has ever been able to get in! the employees dont want it, that should tell you something
Tim Germany 5pts @LoCO Actually the flex does equate to lesser durability. What do you think is happening to the rivet holding the cross members on when the frame twists that much. Add up all the twists that it endures over the course of a few years. A bridge is designed to twist. The Tundra frame is not, but it does. A truck =/= bridge.
HEMI_LOL 5pts @GinjaNinja this video is ford propaganda and is irrelevant. this shows nothing of importance at all. this is frame only with engine or trans or rear end or cab and bed and shows only that fords frame is too rigid
HEMI_LOL 5pts @GinjaNinja Thanks to people who dont know how to research you help fuel me to educate people who otherwise wouldnt have a clue.Powertrain tech;1. Dual Independent Variable Valve Timing on a truck. Toyota did this in 07. Ford FINALLY in 2011 has the 3.7 v6, the 5.0 and ecoboost with similar BUT not as advanced version that toyota uses. ford calls it Twin independent variable cam timing. Ford is YEARS behind. BTW the 6.2 is a SOHC with only 2 valves which is a HUGE step backward. GM and Ram still have OHV engines and to supliment how BAD of fuel economy they get they shut off cylinders to try to save fuel............. problem is IF you have a load they NEVER shut off..2. GM, FORD, & RAM THANK YOU for being COMPLETELY blind to fuel economy! They advertise EPA ratings on a base rear diff for the truck so it shows like it gets good economy and THEN TO COMPLETELY deceive you (successfully) they "option" you for a steeper rear diff for towing purposes and then the fuel economy ratings NO LONGER APPLY TO THAT TRUCK! Consumer reports has found that the 5.7 Tundra with 4.30 rear end for MAXIMUM towing capacity returns the SAME fuel economy real world as the Ford ecoboost 3.5 V6 with 3.55 gears which is made to TOW LESS than the Tundra. Its really ashame that SOO many people are blindly loyal to manufacturers that OPENLY deceive and insult your intelligence! good play.................lolPS i can list 10 more things the tundra has in engine tech that the other manufacturers STILL dont have today that the tundra introduced on the 2007 model!
Alex daOriginal 5pts strip the Atlas of it's concept gimics and it would look pretty much the same as the current F150 to. though it'll have new guts XD
d cope 5pts @Sam338 in 2007 toyota sold almost 200,000 of these ugly trucks based solly on toyotas so called good rep.then the wheels came off the 07 was the most recalled truck by far sales dropped to 60.000 . a 381 hp moter 12 mpg please . its not the moter you feel its the 430 gears . take a 6.2L gm LS moter with 373 gears and it still beats this bloated truck. the all new SXTRDS PEARL HARBER ADD. its not us made if its not us owned gm ford and chrysler fought for the freedom we all have today your money and your job go by by 3toyota jobs created 7 gm ford and chrysler jobs lost toyota 0% us owned and they are asembled in japanese factorys god bless the usa
grayknight 5pts Well said. It is definitely nothing major. Toyota is still firmly entrenched in conservatism. The question is not whether they will gain sales on the domestics, but if they can maintain where they are.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @BlackDynamiteOnline thats got nothing to do with trucks!! all commercial!! oh wait it is a commercial!!! loser!!
Mchicha 5pts @TundraDriver I stopped reading when you out towed a Super Duty with a Tundra? What were you putting in the Tundra? Rice?
BlackDynamiteOnline 5pts @TundraDriver I feel you.They fixed the interior and the shock valving, both which seemed to be complaints from owners. But if your truck is kicking ass, and the interior isn't an issue for you, there is no reason to upgrade.Looks like they are going for people who wanted a better interior, or people who need a larger Tacoma.BD
Todd27 5pts Actually niether of you are correct. Keep in mind that the manufacturing or assembly of the automobile you see sitting in that showroom accounts for less than 20% of the jobs needed to create any new auto. When the styling, engineering, testing, glass house, marketing, product validation, purchasing, legal...etc are not done here we lose out. Toyota has done some of this with some models such as its truck but on the whole buying a Toyota makes a lot of people in Asia very happy. Just keep that in mind. The fact is you can buy a Ford assembled in Mexico/Canada and employ more Americans than a Kentucky Toyota. Sorry to be the bubble burster for everyone who's justified the import sitting in their driveway (not really though).
HEMI_LOL 5pts @Tim GermanyTim by that same analogy then a sky scraper wouldnt last either. they move FEET back and forth at the top. Compliancy is the key, if you build something that doesnt flex it will break. Rigidity doesnt equal durability. a 747's wings will flex 26 FEET up and down while carrying 800,000lbs through the air!
LoCO 5pts @Tim Germany @LoCO What about the rivets on airplane wings? Airplane wings flex yet they last. It's my understanding the Tundra frame is designed to flex. It's also my understanding that if something is designed to flex and it flexes, then it's OK. If something is not designed to flex and it flexes, then it breaks. The reed and the Oak. Admittedly, the Tundra is not a reed, but that's the gist. I have several friends with Tundras and I don't see their trucks falling apart. Time will tell.
Dash Rendar 5pts @HEMI_LOL "nothing of importance at all..." So the frame of a truck is not important? Ok.
CALI-LIFER 5pts @HEMI_LOL too rigid?? wow thats it ive heard enough from these toy lovers!! thats all the tundra is a TOY!! when compared to ford or chitvy or ram!!
HEMI_LOL 5pts @d copeyou are SO SO SO LOST! most recalled truck you say? no thats ford! BY FAR! Matter of fact JD Power has named the Tundra the Most Dependable Full Size Pickup 7 YEARS IN A ROW! you show your unfortunate ignorance by referencing the 4.30 gears vs GM 3.73 gears..... your missing part of the equation when you DONT mention the transmission gearing. Toyota has a 3.33 first gear and a .058 6th gear. GM has a 3.09 first and a .78 6th AND in order for the GM to compete at ALL it must have the 4.10 geared max tow package with the 6.2 which REALLY gets only 12 mpg! its funny i have owned BOTH and i get 19.6 mpg on the highway with those 4.30 gears and the BEST the GM EVER got was 14mpg. OH and the Tundra is 400 lbs. HEAVIER and Still outdoes it. the Pearl Harbor makes you sound really ignorant
CALI-LIFER 5pts @HEMI_LOL @Tim Germany toy is not using the same matel that they do in air planes. the big 3 used to use the same style frme but look at them now...... the toy will fall apart give it a few years!
d cope 5pts @HEMI_LOL @d cope hemi you are right about the 70 %us parts but you know all those parts are not built in US factorys you see wen your not a US company you support your on country the jd powers thing they test truck for 3 years so most those awards were on the pre 07 you know the ones no one used as a truck they also dont count recalls as a problemfor some reason now toyota mfg means lexas scion and toy thats were the 26 of 37 models imported with 0% US parts come from add them up 24% US parts yes i know all those models dont sell that well . truck trend tested all 1/2 tons and gmc whith 373s beat the tundra 0 to 60 with 430s and also stoped better with those tiny brakes sorry about the pearl harber thing but i still call my christmas tree a christmas not holiday tree ps iown a 12 ram hemi shorty 2wd whith 392s a 09 stang gt and a 66 cevy nova idont favor brands i buy the ones that fougt for the freedom we all have today

Grief, Bereavement, and Coping With Loss (PDQ®): Supportive care - Patient Information [NCI] - Overview
People cope with the loss of a loved one in different ways. Most people who experience grief will cope well. Others will have severe grief and may need treatment. There are many things that can affect the grief process of someone who has lost a loved one to cancer. They include:
- The personality of the person who is grieving.
- The relationship with the person who died.
- The loved one's cancer experience and the way the disease progressed.
- The grieving person's coping skills and mental health history.
- The amount of support the grieving person has.
- The grieving person's cultural and religious background.
- The grieving person's social and financial position.
This summary defines grief and bereavement and describes the different types of grief reactions, treatments for grief, important issues for grieving children, and cultural responses to grief and loss. It is intended as a resource to help caregivers of cancer patients.
Training in Communication Skills
Training Providers Some believe that effective communication between doctor and patient is a core clinical skill that should be taught as rigorously as other medical sciences are taught.[1] Underlying this belief is a growing body of research and development of guidelines acknowledging that physicians need not be born with excellent communication skills but can learn as they practice various other aspects of medicine.[2] Clinicians specializing in cancer acknowledge that insufficient training...

We hear a lot about the social enterprise and democratization of video these days. Organizations are recognizing that there's no "seat of knowledge" that resides in a centralized group, such as a training department, but that knowledge lives among the body politic; among employees who have tribal knowledge, are masters of their subject matter, or possess specific skills or experience.

In fact, since everything is already paid for it's in your best interest to consume all the food, drinks and fun you can handle.

As usual, I am not going to recount the story - let Diane and Steve tell you. Be warned - you may never discard a note or a gum wrapper again - it could become part of your family's heritage! Visit Nuts From the Family Tree for the whole story.

Haha, you should. Maybe you will get extra kisses if you do.
aww that is soo cool my girlfriend saw that and was like" you should write me one" lol That is really sweet nice job^^
Haha, you should. Maybe you will get extra kisses if you do.
I once wrote love poems for a guy to send to his wife. It was hilarious because she said no one knows me "like you do.". She carried them around and read them to her friends.
bah ha ha ha haaaaa i wrote one for a guy too... i forget wat he said but it was on here
Lol i would definitely feel bad for him if that were to happen. I think it was a poem for her birthday. xD What I love more is when a girl asks you to write them a poem for their boyfriend. Normally I am like "I don't think guys really like that kind of stuff" and then I am like "shouldn't you know how to write this kind of stuff. You are a girl." It amazes me how many people CAN'T write any sort of cute, short, or silly poem. I mean, it isn't that hard at all.

MUSICAL CHAIRS?: As the Bettencourt saga intensifies media coverage increases in kind. Now the focus has shifted onto whether Liliane Bettencourt, the daughter of L'Oréal's founder and largest individual shareholder, is intent on making some changes in L'Oréal's board.
Le Figaro newspaper published a piece Friday — citing an unnamed source in Bettencourt's entourage — as saying that Bettencourt is angling to replace her daughter, Françoise Bettencourt Meyers, and son-in-law, Jean-Pierre Meyers, with their two sons to help stem off a possible sale of the company. (That's despite Bettencourt Meyers repeatedly stating publicly that she will maintain the status quo regarding her stake in L'Oréal, given to her by her mother in bare ownership.)
As part of a shareholder agreement, Bettencourt, with a 31 percent share in the company, holds three seats on L'Oréal's board, while Nestlé, with about 30 percent, holds the same number.
Paris Match on Thursday ignited speculation about the composition of the L'Oréal board with a story headlined "Liliane Bettencourt Dreams to See Her Grandson Replace Her Son-in-Law." The magazine referred to a letter Bettencourt's lawyers sent to Bettencourt Meyers', according to an unnamed person close to Bettencourt, at the end of August requesting her to cede a portion of her capital holding to her older son, Jean-Victor Meyers. Moreover, the 24-year-old would allegedly then replace his father on L'Oréal's board once the term of the senior Meyers is up in 2012.
However, Pascal Wilhelm, a lawyer for Bettencourt, and Olvier Metzner, Bettencourt Meyers' attorney, reportedly aren't aware of such a letter.
According to Paris Match, L'Oréal chairman Lindsay Owen-Jones will be questioned in upcoming days in the ongoing enquiry linked to the François-Marie Banier case. A company spokeswoman could not be reached for comment. — Jennifer Weil
A W RESIGNATION: Stefano Tonchi's Dream Team at W took a hit last week. Jody Quon, W's freshly minted creative director, resigned and is leaving Condé Nast less than six months on the job.
"Very sad, very sad," said Tonchi in an interview on Friday afternoon, talking about his reaction to the news.
And why did she leave? "Very much that she didn't feel comfortable anymore and kind of agreed that it was maybe not the best match," he said, describing her reasons for leaving.
Tonchi said he was surprised by the decision but knew something was afoot when he returned from the fashion shows in Europe.
"I really came back 10 days ago and there was a lot of tension in the office, much more than before," he said.
When asked to elaborate, he said, "I was away and when I came back there was a certain tension. That is all."
Insiders said Quon clashed with staffers at the revamped magazine. When asked if there was a culture clash or a personality clash, Tonchi said, "Probably both," but said he couldn't elaborate or speak for Quon.
"From my side, I was very happy with what she has done with the magazine and I appreciate her professionally, and, more than that, her elegance," he said.
Quon was part of a late April announcement when the magazine made four major editorial hires, which also included editor at large Lynn Hirschberg, executive managing editor Lawrence Karol and fashion news and features director Armand Limnander. Mr. Karol left a few weeks ago to decamp to Architectural Digest with Mr. Tonchi's blessing.
When asked if he made any attempt to keep her when she offered to resign, Tonchi said, "We talked a little about issues and things and I think her feelings were very strong. She had all the right to make her own decision, it's her life and she has to live it.
"I respect her decision," he continued. "I accepted it."
Tonchi said he had no intentions to replace her.
Quon could not be reached for comment.

The health program emphasized low-pressure, low-intensity interventions—geared not only to employees' individual health risks, but also to their readiness to make lifestyle changes.
Workers participating in a "comprehensive" workplace promotion program had a one-fifth reduction in absenteeism during the first year, reports a study in the April Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, official publication of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM).
Led by Maurice A.J. Niessen of the NDDO Institute for Prevention and Early Diagnostics, Amsterdam, the researchers evaluated a Web-based worksite health promotion project at a large Dutch financial services company. The program used a "computerized knowledge-based reasoning system," which integrated the best available risk prediction equations with research-proven prevention and early diagnostic steps.
The program emphasized low-pressure, low-intensity interventions—geared not only to employees' individual health risks, but also to their readiness to make lifestyle changes. Another key feature was assessment of mental health issues leading to burnout, a major cause of work disability in the Netherlands.
Of about 11,250 employees invited, 3,900 enrolled in the program. After one year, the estimated absenteeism rate was approximately four percent for employees who participated in the program versus five percent for nonparticipants. Thus employees participating in the program had a 20 percent reduction in absenteeism in the first year.
A growing number of companies are interested in workplace health promotion programs, with the goal of reducing health risk factors that lead to illness and lost job productivity. Studies of previous programs haven't consistently shown reduced rates of absenteeism.
The comprehensive worksite health promotion program evaluated in the new study led to a significant drop in absenteeism rates, the authors said. Niessen and colleagues speculate that the program may have improved employees' psychological well-being or stress levels—perhaps as a result of making healthy lifestyle changes or getting help with mental health problems.
