Cerebral Palsy Course Strengthens CDS Curriculum As Second Disability Intensive Course Offering
Atlanta, GA, 30 November 2009 - The College of Direct Support (CDS), an internet-based curriculum for direct support professionals and managed in partnership by MC Strategies/Elsevier and the University of Minnesota's Research and Training Center, announced today that its second Disability Intensive Course (DIC) on "Cerebral Palsy" is now available for administrators and learners to use as part of the online curriculum. It is the second of the DIC courses added to the CDS course lineup. The CDS had released a DIC course on "Autism" earlier this year.
The DIC courses are different in nature from the traditional CDS course format of multiple lessons. A DIC is a specialized course within the CDS Curriculum that focuses on a specific disability or condition – like cerebral palsy. Unlike other CDS courses, a DIC has one longer lesson instead of multiple lessons. These courses define and describe the nature of a specific disability or condition and have information about the causes, characteristics, and symptoms of the disability or condition. They share stories of people who have this disability or condition and how it might affect their family members. These courses will help Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) and family members understand how each disability affects people in their day-to-day lives and how co-occurring disorders with this disability or condition affect people as well.
A DIC will help identify strategies that work well when supporting people who have the disability. Finally, DICs offer suggestions for many specific resources that will help learners continue their studies towards understanding this disability or condition and the role they play in supporting individuals more fully.
The "Cerebral Palsy" course introduces DSPs and others to the disability. Cerebral palsy is a very common disability. It is a brain disorder that affects body movement and also affects muscle coordination. Cerebral palsy can begin in infancy or early childhood and can also be acquired at a later age when a specific part of the brain is injured. It is a permanent condition, but it does not get worse over time. Learners will learn to recognize common characteristics of cerebral palsy and it will also describe the main types of cerebral palsy. Finally, it will help DSPs and others understand some of the typical supports needed by someone who has cerebral palsy.

Data mining extracts maximum efficiency
PUBLISHED: 21 Mar 2013 00:30:54 | UPDATED: 21 Mar 2013 11:27:12PUBLISHED: 13 Jun 2013 PRINT EDITION: 21 Mar 2013Data management is becoming increasingly important in maximising the full use of a vehicle fleet. Photo: Glenn Hunt
Chris Tolhurst
Getting the most out of a vehicle fleet today is all about the clever management of data.
More than ever, fleet managers need to accurately determine the value of vehicles that are to be sold in the used car market and plan ahead for maintenance and poor driver behaviour. It's little wonder that many are now using predictive analytics and other high-end software tools to turn their data into knowledge
Determining residual values is the hardest job in fleet management and it's not getting any easier as organisations develop highly mixed fleets.
A vehicle's residual value is the largest cost element of ownership for a fleet operation. When an incorrect residual value is put into a vehicle's "whole of life" (WOL) cost calculation, it almost always has serious financial implications.
The WOL cost includes all the fixed costs such as vehicle registration and insurance, as well as variable costs such as fuel and tyres.
Australasian Fleet Managers Association's (AFMA) director of research and communication Ken Thompson says some vehicles have greater second-hand appeal than others. Acquiring the cheapest car model "won't necessarily deliver the lowest whole of life cost," he says.
Thompson says a higher cost model may give better value for money, particularly if upgrade features are added that are standard in a deluxe model. He warns that setting the residual value too high for purchased vehicles can result in a shortage of funds when replacing the vehicle.
Increasingly, there are ways to use software – especially predictive analytics – to minimise the risks.
StateFleet manages a $700 million inventory of 25,000 motor vehicles for the NSW public sector. The organisation uses a business intelligence system developed by analytics multinational SAS to optimise resale values for more than 10,000 vehicles turned over each year.
If these resale values are managed shrewdly, the resulting savings can amount to millions of dollars each year.
SAS general manager for technology practice Peter Kokinakos says the use of predictive analytics at StateFleet allows its managers to combine information about the age, condition and performance of a car with variable data. Such variable data might include production changes in the international motor market or a spike in oil prices.
"Managers can have information coming from different areas to try and get that prediction of what their car's value is going to be," Kokinakos says.
"They can build a model that says, 'What if a new release car comes into the market? What is that going to do to the potential value left on each of their cars?' There are a lot of different factors that they can play with, if you like, to try and determine the best residual value and the most popular cars."
Thompson says that when a vehicle is leased the setting of the residual value in part determines the size of the monthly lease payments. "The higher the residual, the lower the payments," he explains. "However, on disposal, if the market value is less than the residual then it is likely that you'll be liable for a balloon payment [for] the difference between the residual and the market value."
Thompson notes that the trouble with residual values is that they are non-linear. "A vehicle can lose up to 50 per cent of its new purchase price in the first three years [and] there are a variety of factors that can influence and impact residual values, both positively and negatively."
Pickles Auctions' David Wuehrl says sharp movements in interest rates, oil prices and the unemployment rate can hit new vehicle sales and the used car market. He says interest rates, in particular, have a large impact on the willingness of consumers to upgrade.
Another emerging area of data management in the fleet sector centres on harnessing the potential of telematics– the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics. Vehicle telematics uses global positioning systems (GPS) and automotive navigational systems to capture data that fleet managers can use to plan ahead.
What is harder to achieve is pulling together the capabilities of telematics, fleet management and mobile business communication in a cost-effective way. Large fleet operators are now looking at how these systems will converge. In a discussion paper on the future of telematics released in February, AFMA says that data from the three technologies will in the end be sorted into meaningful and graphically represented information delivered onto mobile devices as alerts or customised reports.
According to the AFMA, a blend of all three available technologies creates the perfect mix: a system that monitors vehicle and driver behaviour; provides interactive communications with the driver for business requirements; and merges live information into a database containing the full spectrum of fleet management services.
"Each element is becoming increasingly sophisticated, reliable, capable and arguably less expensive," the AFMA paper says.
"The capabilities overlap but critically so do deployment and operational costs. For instance, using an IVMS (in vehicle monitoring system) requires hardware installation and monitoring charges. The data is live and the capabilities powerful.
"IVMS telematics can provide route planning and monitoring of geo-fencing, driver behaviour, fatigue management and vehicle health management data in real-time. Some of this vehicle data overlaps traditional fleet systems (asset-based management), however, fleet management software also captures a myriad of additional information from various sources not related to IVMS such as purchasing, finance, insurance, fuel transactions and infringement data."
Good data capture matters in part because the fleet sector is subject to sudden external shocks. Thompson says every decade or so there is a drastic change in the car market that impacts on residual values.
One such seismic event was the "Korean factor".
"This was a time in the late 1990s when a three-year ex-fleet vehicle could fetch $20,000-plus, "Thompson says. "With vehicles coming into the Australian market from Korea, all of a sudden new vehicles were available with a three-year warranty from around $12,000 drive away, no more to pay. This had a dramatic effect on used vehicle prices, which dropped significantly."
He warns that cheap vehicles from China and India may have a similar effect on the market in the future.

Ok i have a big ole konjac bulb about 3 pounds or so and its 6 inches across and is like a bowling ball as its completly rounded. I would of though it was going to bloom but it didnt and it has a shoot up 2 inches now with those roots growing out the sides and i think its ready to pot up the one question is what kind of pot should i use for this guy. a 18 inch pot good enough? I had it last year in a 10 inch pot which i pulled it out and it was a huge root ball basically the bulb itself and 30 or so offshoots. i probably will stick it in its pot outside to start as long as the weather allows it other wise i could bring it inside if theres coldness. Of coarse i will not water it as much until its really growing roots out. i dont really want to start it inside because for one its big and two it will get sunburn when its moved out because of the big sunlight change which could ruin the shoot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Brandon, just give it a pot where it has a lot of room on each side. That way it will have room to reproduce. My bulb is 11 lbs., and I am putting it in a half whisky barrel this year. Get the biggest pot you can. I'm sure it will be fine, even if the pot is a little too small. I don't put mine directly in the sun, but on the front porch where it can have some sun, and then some shade. If you want it to flower next year, fertilize it well. :) Arum |

Songs & Silences of Night
"You, children of space, restless in rest, you shall not be trapped nor tamed.
Your house shall not be an anchor but a mast.
It shall not be a glistening film that covers a wound, but an eyelid that guards the eye.
You shall not fold your wings that you may pass through doors, nor bend your heads that they strike not against a ceiling, nor fear to breathe lest walls should crack and fall down.
You shall not dwell in tombs made by the dead for the living.
And though of magnificence and splendour, your house shall not hold your secret nor shelter your longing.
For that which is boundless in you abides in the mansion of the sky, whose door is the morning mist, and whose windows are the songs and the silences of night."

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
I also suspect that based on the IMEI that they can tell where it was sold, so you are right WHEN they ask, you can guess the source ( or contact the ebay seller) , hope for the best, and when they say it doesnt match, make another request. I mean just because its rule #1 for the unlock, there's nothing stopping you from lying about it to try and get Tmobile to do something they never said they would do, The tmobile reps can't unlock the phones directly ( I presume you mean the tmobile chat reps). All they can do is facilitate the submission of the request. I have no problem with them putting restrictions on unlocking. Its far easier to unlock a tmobile phone unlocked than most if not all of the other pay as you go's. |
They never even asked where the phone was bought, they just checked to see if I was a T-mobile customer in good standing, and then they issued me the code. So all this about not having an "authorized seller" phone is something they have started to crack down on lately. It wasn't always like this. |
I can see T-mobile wanting to unlock a european phones to get onto their network because this could essentially be revenue they would not get if they did not unlock it ( you could argue that they might not unlock it in iorder to entice you to buy a new phone), but I can see them being far more reticent to unlock a T-mobile branded phone so that someone could take it to AT&T. I still don't see what the fuss is right now. You can pay 40 bucks to some shady third party unlocker who may or may not be able to get the job done, or start T-mobile service, add 50 bucks to the phone and you can wait and get it unlocked for free. Is the 500 minutes or texts you get not worth the extra 10 bucks ? you can even switch on and off the 2 or three dollar a day plan data plan. That and the 20 extra bucks I paid to purchase the phone from HSN ( no tax) is worth getting a NEW phone with a warantee. Ebay HSN phone 105 130 shipping 0 0 tax 0 0 ( for me) condition used new extras none car charger/screen protector warrantee none ( that I know of) standard unlockable +/- yes cost to unlock $40 +/- 50 service for unlock no yes total cost 145+/- 180 OTD Is the ebay phone cheaper ? sure, but i don't think its a better deal. If you are already a Tmobile customer and want to unlock for international travel as opposed to switch domestically to AT&T for fulltime service , I dont think it is even close, but that is just me. |
If I had known, I would definitely have gotten the phone from HSN instead, especially now that they are on sale (although there is tax for me as I am in Cali.). Lesson learned. |
I suspect that you will ultimately be able to unlock it via a third party and the longer you wait, the cheaper it will be. |
its still a pretty good mid level phone. |
Oh man it's sad to hear people saying that Tmobile wouldn't unlock a phone just because it was purchased used at Ebay? I received my phone today and I really want to keep it, I was planning to unlock it after two months to meet Tmobile's requirements first. My phone came in a tmobile outer packaging and everything. Why do they care where I have bought it? My guess is tons of phones are being sold at ebay, is it the policy for other carriers as well? I always heard that you need to spend $50 minimum in prepaid cards and actively use it Tmobile for minimum 60 days. This is the first time I am hearing this new rule..
1) buy it at an authorised T mobile reseller (or Tmobile itself) 2) have an account in good standing and add at least 50 bucks in refills I suspect they care where you bought it because they are still likely subsidizing the phone and allowing people to move the phone directly over to AT&T does not do them a whole lot of good. Plus the provenance of these Ebay phones is, by all accounts, somewhat suspect. If, and I admit I have ZERO proof, that these used phones are hot or were not destined for the consumer market, I dont think anyone would begrudge Tmobile for not unlocking them. As for the other carriers, it is far easier to unlock a tmobile phone than any of the other pre-paid carriers. if you planned to wait two months, by then third party unlockers might be more successful at unlocking it but you are going to have to pay for it. Its not like you can return the phone now anyways. |

The uniforms for the U.S. Olympic Team may be red, white, and blue, but they were made in "Red" China.
Congress is outraged by the U.S. Olympic Committee's decision to outsource the team's uniforms.
The American textile industry is struggling and many workers are out of work. Republican and Democratic lawmakers stand united on the issue.
"I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them and start all over again," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
Republican House Speaker John Boehner said the Olympic Committee made a bad decision.
"You'd think they know better," he said.
Meanwhile, The U.S. Olympic Committee is defending its choice, saying the team is privately funded and they are proud of their partnership with American designer Ralph Lauren.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Saul called his son Jonathan together with his servants and ordered them to kill David. But because Jonathan treasured David, | 1 Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan was very fond of David |
2 he went and warned him: "My father is looking for a way to kill you. Here's what you are to do. Tomorrow morning, hide and stay hidden. | 2 and warned him, "My father Saul is looking for a chance to kill you. Be on your guard tomorrow morning; go into hiding and stay there. |
3 I'll go out with my father into the field where you are hiding. I'll talk about you with my father and we'll see what he says. Then I'll report back to you." | 3 I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out." |
4 Jonathan brought up David with his father, speaking well of him. "Please," he said to his father, "don't attack David. He hasn't wronged you, has he? And just look at all the good he has done! | 4 Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, "Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly. |
5 He put his life on the line when he killed the Philistine. What a great victory God gave Israel that day! You were there. You saw it and were on your feet applauding with everyone else. So why would you even think of sinning against an innocent person, killing David for no reason whatever?" | 5 He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The LORD won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?" |
6 Saul listened to Jonathan and said, "You're right. As God lives, David lives. He will not be killed." | 6 Saul listened to Jonathan and took this oath: "As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death." |
7 Jonathan sent for David and reported to him everything that was said. Then he brought David back to Saul and everything was as it was before. | 7 So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before. |
8 War broke out again and David went out to fight Philistines. He beat them badly, and they ran for their lives. | 8 Once more war broke out, and David went out and fought the Philistines. He struck them with such force that they fled before him. |
9 But then a black mood from God settled over Saul and took control of him. He was sitting at home, his spear in his hand, while David was playing music. | 9 But an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp, |
10 Suddenly, Saul tried to skewer David with his spear, but David ducked. The spear stuck in the wall and David got away. It was night. | 10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape. |
11 Saul sent men to David's house to stake it out and then, first thing in the morning, to kill him. But Michal, David's wife, told him what was going on. "Quickly now - make your escape tonight. If not, you'll be dead by morning!" | 11 Saul sent men to David's house to watch it and to kill him in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, warned him, "If you don't run for your life tonight, tomorrow you'll be killed." |
12 She let him out of a window, and he made his escape. | 12 So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped. |
13 Then Michal took a dummy god and put it in the bed, placed a wig of goat's hair on its head, and threw a quilt over it. | 13 Then Michal took an idol and laid it on the bed, covering it with a garment and putting some goats' hair at the head. |
14 When Saul's men arrived to get David, she said, "He's sick in bed." | 14 When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, "He is ill." |
15 Saul sent his men back, ordering them, "Bring him, bed and all, so I can kill him." | 15 Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, "Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him." |
16 When the men entered the room, all they found in the bed was the dummy god with its goat-hair wig! | 16 But when the men entered, there was the idol in the bed, and at the head was some goats' hair. |
17 Saul stormed at Michal: "How could you play tricks on me like this? You sided with my enemy, and now he's gotten away!" Michal said, "He threatened me. He said, 'Help me out of here or I'll kill you.'" | 17 Saul said to Michal, "Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?" Michal told him, "He said to me, 'Let me get away. Why should I kill you?' " |
18 David made good his escape and went to Samuel at Ramah and told him everything Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel withdrew to the privacy of Naioth. | 18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there. |
19 Saul was told, "David's at Naioth in Ramah." | 19 Word came to Saul: "David is in Naioth at Ramah"; |
20 He immediately sent his men to capture him. They saw a band of prophets prophesying with Samuel presiding over them. Before they knew it, the Spirit of God was on them, too, and they were ranting and raving right along with the prophets! | 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came upon Saul's men and they also prophesied. |
21 That was reported back to Saul, and he dispatched more men. They, too, were soon prophesying. So Saul tried a third time - a third set of men - and they ended up mindlessly raving as well! | 21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. |
22 Fed up, Saul went to Ramah himself. He came to the big cistern at Secu and inquired, "Where are Samuel and David?" A bystander said, "Over at Naioth in Ramah." | 22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Secu. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" "Over in Naioth at Ramah," they said. |
23 As he headed out for Naioth in Ramah, the Spirit of God was on him, too. All the way to Naioth he was caught up in a babbling trance! | 23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even upon him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth. |
24 He ripped off his clothes and lay there rambling gibberish before Samuel for a day and a night, stretched out naked. People are still talking about it: "Saul among the prophets! Who would have guessed?" | 24 He stripped off his robes and also prophesied in Samuel's presence. He lay that way all that day and night. This is why people say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" |

For this week's Throwback Thursday, we're celebrating Bonnie Raitt's birthday with a set of her music.
Active since the 1970′s, Bonnie Raitt has been an icon for quite some time. The early parts of her career are characterized by a roots influenced sound that was heavily acclaimed, if not widely popular. That changed in the 1990′s, however, as she released a string of hits throughout the decade. Her mainstream popularity finally was proportional to her renown within the roots community where she was already a legend for her output to that point and her slide guitar playing. An activist from an early age, she attended Harvard's Radcliffe College as a Social Relations African Studies Major. Her plan was, "to travel to Tanzania, where President Julius Nyerere was creating a government based on democracy and socialism… I wanted to help undo the damage that Western colonialism had done to native cultures around the world. Cambridge, Massachusetts was a hotbed of this kind of thinking, and I was thrilled."
This activism has been intrinsic to her music over the course of her four decade-spanning career. Some of her notable areas of activism are in the anti-nuclear movement and environmental preservation, in part founding Musicians United for Safe Energy. Despite her commercial success, she continues this day to be a vocal advocate for the many causes she believes in. Tune in at 5pm today to celebrate Bonnie Raitt's birthday with us!

Hi guys,
Glad I found this forum :) I need help with identifying and eliminating this problematic weed.. I've had people say (on the lawn forum) that it looks like field bindweed, but from my research, I'm not sure it is. The flowers you see in the pics are 2-3" in diameter.
Follow-Up Postings:
To me, it kind of looks like Mexican Evening Primrose. Do a search for that and see if you think it is. Although, it is pretty, it is very invasive here in So. Cal. Julie |
Julie, You're right! Looked up what you called it, and sure enough: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/236/ That's it! The pics look exactly like what's in my yard. This stuff grows non-stop. I guess I'll keep pulling it up! Thanks for your help. |

KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
When most people think "Nissan," they think of an affordable, fun and rugged line of vehicles. But, there is one Nissan that dares to step into the world of the exotic supercar, delivering performance and a price tag unlike anything Nissan has ever offered, at least in this country. The 2012 Nissan GT-R coupe isn't some base model car with a big motor stuffed under the hood, it's a bona fide high-end performance machine designed from the ground up to take on such lofty names as the Porsche 911, Audi R8 and even the Chevy Corvette Z06. Sadly, while many Nissan fans applaud the company for finally bringing the car stateside (it has been sold in Japan for more than a decade under the name Skyline GT-R), its $90,000-plus price tag probably means the closest they'll ever get to experience a 2012 Nissan GT-R coupe is in the video game Grand Theft Auto. For those who do have the money, the GT-R offers a unique combination of old-world supercar performance attributes with Japanese-style high tech. With only 650 Nissan dealers authorized to sell and service the car, some folks may never see a GT-R on their local Nissan dealer's showroom floor. Then again, having to drive a few hundred miles to have your car serviced is the perfect excuse for a true enthusiast to spend as much time behind the wheel as humanly possible.
Unlike Europe, where exotic cars seem to proliferate like rabbits, in the U.S. a car like the 2012 Nissan GT-R coupe is a coveted possession. If you're looking for cutting-edge performance in a fairly exclusive car, the GT-R is likely to be far more satisfying than a BMW M3, Audi R8 or Chevrolet Corvette Z06.
If you're looking to get the most bang-for-your-buck, the Chevy Corvette Z06 offers roughly the same power at a lower price, and is far easier to find and service. Those looking for something costing half as much but still packing a punch might entertain a Nissan 370Z or Ford Mustang GT500.
Along with a new look, new wheels and new colors, the 2012 Nissan GT-R coupe gets a new Black Edition trim with unique black and red Recaro sport seats, a black headliner and black 6-spoke RAYS lightweight alloy wheels. Horsepower jumps from 485 to 530, while city/highway fuel economy moves from 15/21 to 16/23
Driving Impressions Pressing a single button is all that is required to bring the 2012 Nissan GT-R's twin-turbocharged V6 engine to life, but it's the pushing on the car's throttle that brings...
the driver to life. The GT-R's neck-snapping acceleration would be terrifying if not for the impressive array of mechanical and electronic suspension components designed to keep both car and driver safe at high speeds. Thankfully, the GT-R's well-weighted power steering, driver-selectable suspension and variable torque-split all-wheel drive combine to give the driver exactly the control he requires. Requiring only the slightest inputs, the 2012 Nissan GT-R's steering is precise and direct, and the big Brembo brakes perform faithfully even after repeated hard stops. Those who really enjoy pushing the limits will revel in the GT-R's "Race mode" settings that can be set to quicken shifts, stiffen the shocks and, wisely or not, deactivate the electronic stability and traction control.Twin-turbo V6 engine
A paragon of usable power, the GT-R's hand-built, 530-horsepower V6 delivers smooth, quick and predictable responses that make this ultra-quick Nissan easy to live with in town but an absolute rocket when called upon to give max performance.
Driver Tunable Vehicle Dynamics
The 2012 Nissan GT-R Coupe lets you select from several different and distinct ride compliance, stability control and transmission shift program settings, which can transform it from a high-profile but quite livable urban cruiser into a hard-edged corner carver that can run with the best-handling cars in the world.
Nissan's 2012 GT-R coupe has an interior so high tech you'd swear you were sitting behind the wheel of a concept car rather than a production model. The GT-R coupe's highly stylized cockpit is cozy, yet sport seats with nine inches of travel and a tilt/telescopic steering column help to accommodate all but NBA-sized drivers. The user-friendly meters and gauges are placed at a uniform height, an important attribute that helps minimize the driver's head movement. The centerpiece of the GT-R's interior is a multifunction display that rests atop the center dash. The unit collects and stores data detailing your driving activities which, after a few hot laps around the track, can be reviewed to see which skills might need improvement.
Even with its new, wider grille, LED running lights, and revised air intakes, the 2012 Nissan GT-R performance coupe retains the trademark look linking it to the last five generations to wear the Skyline/GT-R badge. A collage of sharp angles, rounded contours and crisp edges conspires to give the GT-R a slippery 0.26 coefficient of drag. A carbon-fiber underbody diffuser and subtle rear spoiler help keep the GT-R grounded at high speeds. Certainly the 2012 Nissan GT-R's enormous front fender vents catch everyone's eye, but they are not just there to turn heads; the vents provide front downforce and optimal side airflow. Staggered-width 20-inch alloy wheels, which are wrapped in 255/40 tires up front and 285/35 tires in the rear, further aid the GT-R's stability.
The 2012 Nissan GT-R Coupe is equipped with a 530-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine, sequential 6-speed dual-clutch automated-manual rear transaxle, ATESSA E-TS all-wheel-drive system, Brembo anti-lock brakes and adjustable suspension and stability-control settings. Inside, leather, Alcantara and brushed-aluminum trim complement a full roster of power assists, a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, 11-speaker Bose Surround Sound audio system, XM Satellite Radio audio with NavTraffic/NavWeather and Music Box hard drive, dual-zone climate control, speed-sensitive wipers, auto on/off headlights, push-button ignition, dual front airbags, bi-xenon HID headlights, heated front seats, unique vehicle information-system graphics, side-impact and side-curtain airbags and Bridgestone RE070A performance tires. The Black Edition adds RAYS black metallic lightweight alloy wheels, red and black Recaro leather seats and a black headliner.
Nissan offers only one option for the 2012 GT-R coupe: a Cold Weather Package featuring Dunlop all-season tires and a specialized water/coolant ratio mix.
The 2012 Nissan GT-R Coupe has a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 that develops an electrifying 530 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and an equally riveting 448 pound-feet of peak torque from 3,200-5,200 revs. Set back behind the front axle, the all-aluminum engine sends this Nissan super coupe streaking to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds, and on to 100 mph in about eight seconds, as it heads to a top speed in excess of 190 mph. Matched to this might is a 6-speed, sequential dual-clutch transmission that offers three driver-selectable programs and a rev-matching throttle-blip feature, plus a conventional console shifter and finger-friendly paddles mounted on the steering column. While hard running will guarantee your mileage to be less, the GT-R's official EPA numbers are 16 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

530 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm

"If i want attention and showing off ,all take a Aventador to bring my wife out for diner, much sexier than a GTR in my opinion. But so far i can't afford one :( I do have a GTR for more than 2 year, and there is nothing to keep up with that machine. To be objective you got to put it this way, just look it like a strong man contest. How they do that ? It's not the one that pull the truck faster who win the contest :) They have several stunts and they cumulate point. So witch stunt should be line up for a car contest ? well, depending on witch one you want to give advantage. To be fare you pick 4 stunt and all pick 4 and will see who wins the more out of 8. I predict that all win at least 3 out of the one I choose, and all beat you at least 2 out of the one you picked, result will be 5-3 for the GTR. Example of car performance stunt : 1/4 mille , 0-60 , top speed , 60-0 , road racing , auto cross , rally on ice , etc That why my title is ( The ultimate performance machine ) One morning on my way to the track, I out run a few racing bikes from a traffic light to another, at the track in the advance group no one was even close to me, there was a Viper.... we only had time to do a few laps, was looking tight, but unfortunately for him, it start rain for a few minutes just enough to wet the track. Oups ! the viper was no longer in the game i almost over lap it. And guess what, on my way back home I stopped at the mall to pick up my wife and two kids then went to the grocery before heading back home. Witch other car can do all that ??????"

"Though the GTR is a bit overrated by the fans the only thing I can say that's tremendously great is the fact that the average joe can now enjoy performance near that of Porsche,Lambo, Viper, and Z06 etc. No matter how many times you hear that it's the fastest car on the planet, the sad reality is that it's not. Fans just say that for many reasons and though I have my own,I'll let you come up with your own theories on why they do this,lol. Anyway two things I never liked was the fact that they(Nissan Dealer) never let you test drive one before you buy, or rarely (That's to keep you from comparing it,lol) secondly nissan does NOT I repeat does NOT stand behind the transmission or more importantly the customer. Iowned a 2013 GTR, until last month, and I fought tooth and nail with Nissan, and it cost me over $20,000 USD in attorney fees to get nissan to buy back their GTR with the burned out Transmission and Launch Control. Now I have another battle brewing over being compensated for those attorney fees, so that I can pay back some of it to my dad and brother. Okay yes I attempted to race a gallardo, and a Porsche GT3 but got my rear handed to me, and ended up on the side of the track in Florida with a GTR that refused to move. Obviously many of you fellow GTR owners know that in order to run numbers closer to those cars or better,on the 1/4 mile, you need to engauge launch control. So why did Nissan put in the launch control??? especially when it burns out. I'm not here to discourage anyone on the GTR, or cause you to dislike it, I am here to bring about awareness to those who may have thoughts of forking over hard earned cash to a Nissan salesman for a product that on the long run may end up really disappointing you. I bought a Porsche (Unfortunately I had to go used) and am slowly modifying it and so far I'm really excited and happy with my investment. I think this one made me fall in love all over again. I recommend the GTR for the money, if you're not able to afford a McLaren, Porsche, Audi, Lambo, Ferrari etc. Good luck!"

"this car is LITERALLY the only car you can buy and feel like you get a bang for your buck! this car holds its own value very well and does exactly what everyone says in performance reviews. I do not own one yet as they are still a bit out of my price range but I have done my research for sure. Ya everyone knows that you can buy a $1,000,000+ car like bughatti veyron or hennessey venom gt or others like that and they will beat this car in the long hull....but who wants to put $1mil as their daily driver or even weekly driver at that? At the top of the line (GTR Black Edition) you are hitting just over $110,000!!! that is 1/10 the cost of million dollar cars AND it PERFORMS like it was $1mill. Seriously if you do not believe me go look up reviews on youtube or go to nissan's website and just read the info on it. sure Nissan is not American made but very few supercars are. the corvette Z06 and ZR1 are the closest American cars that come to the same value...but even then I beg to differ. A twin turbo V6 vs a supercharged v8 Z06 will certainly suprise you who is the winner and by how much. This is one of the few cars that enthusiasts are raving about and actually has helped resale value. I read a review on here that said someone had an increase in value after they drove it off the lot (when is that ever heard of????) and everyone loves it! even the people who complain about the interior or ride comfort give it 9 or 10 and would recommend it 10 out of 10. MPG is great for a supercar if you really think about it and definitely a head turner for people who know supercars. The ignorant other drivers think it looks fast (which it is) but the real thrill seekers know exactly what this car can do and often want to just see it in person (that is the same with all supercars). You may have a hard time trying to do a test drive because they are so valuable but if you can afford it I would recommend getting one! For those of you who are crazy enough to see what a super car modified to be even more powerful is like check into this: "AMS ALPHA 12 GTR" (you will not be disappointed)"

Man gets probation in mislabeled meat caseThe Associated Press | March 21,2013BENNINGTON — A Vermont man who used false labels saying the meat he sold from his New York poultry farm was "free range" and "farm raised" when it was bought from wholesalers has been sentenced to two years of probation.
Craig Acton of Bennington pleaded guilty to fraudulently using a USDA legend on meat he sold through his Buskirk, N.Y., farm.
He was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court Northern District of New York.
The Bennington Banner reports (http://bit.ly/YtnWsm) prosecutor Daniel Hanlon said Acton would buy meat from other legitimate suppliers. He would use false USDA labels saying it was from his farm and qualifying as organic so it could be sold at a higher price.
Acton said a flood killed 1,000 of his chickens and forced him into dire financial straits.MORE IN This Just InMan faces fourth Full Story -

I have several large florists' cyclamen that I bought last February. They have been gorgeous and are just finishing flowering, even after all the heat. I would love to keep them for next year. Does anyone have any tips for doing this? I suppose letting the foliage die back and then keeping them dry for the summer and repotting and starting to water again in the fall and perhaps some fertilizer is the general approach. |

I put mine on the shelves in the shade where I keep my orchids in the summer. In a cool place, with regular water (don't overwater), they never do lose all their leaves. I've had the same ones for years. |
Thank you! I'll do exactly that. |

- Do you have a cleaning and chore schedule for your...
05-01-2014 08:51 AM - edited 05-01-2014 08:52 AM
I'm a stay at home/work at home Mom. Some days I feel like I'm walking in circles not knowing where to start on the housework/chores. I'm wondering how many others have a routine they stick to...like doing bathrooms on certain days, floors certain days, etc.? Help me get organized in my cleaning please lol
We have a chore schedule for our 4 year old and I have a weekly schedule for myself. I put it in a pretty frame and am able to use dry erase markers on the glass so I can check things off as I go. I find it helpful if we do a quick house pick up every night so when I go to do the actually cleaning I can get right to it and don't have to do both jobs at once or move stuff out of my way as I go. It also means less things we are tripping over
09-25-2014 12:20 PM - edited 09-25-2014 12:31 PM
I put together a chore chart for my 10 & 13 yr old. They didn't really clean before so as incentive we offer $5 a week for doing all your chores everyday. If they miss a chore it's minus $1, if they want to opt out of chores for only one day it's minus $10 from what they have saved up. They are to use their money for things they want, such as a specific snack, getting toys, and make up (my daughter).
I feel that giving them some amount of money is important in teaching them how handling money really works, how to save money, and to determine what is a need and what is a want. It also helps them to understand that you work hard for money to and in turn may be more willing to use their own money for things instead of asking you for it.
You could also try other things as a reward for completing their jobs and doing them correctly by a trip to the park, going to a family movie, etc. The reward can of course be what ever you think will work best with your child/children.
Having the kids do 2-4 chores a day (bedroom included) takes a lot of the work off you. That way you have more time for that hot soaking in a bath tub that your feet have been begging for.
I use flylady and she tells me what to do. Otherwise my house is a disaster zone and I don't know where to start
No schedule just yet, but perhaps I will when my daughter gets older. My biggest fear about schedules is that you become a slave to them, and that it creates anxiety if it is not adhered to. I handle chores when they need my attention. I feel it is less stressful to live that way.
I thought a schedule would be hard as well. However, I have found that if you over estimate the time frame you have extra time throughout the day so you don't have to follow it to the T, and can add things in if neccessary. I use a public bus system so if I leave the house at all it's an automatic 2 hours away from the house. If I get home sooner great, if not oh well no harm done. Grocery shopping is another 2 hour window because I hate being rushed and always forget something, since I walk to the grocery store I'd rather just get it all in one trip.
The beauty of it is that the schedule is done as you see fit. It will help to be realistic about time frames. Always account for an emergency, traffic, or just some relaxation time.

With more than 25 years experience in journalism, I've written and edited newspapers in California, North Carolina and Virginia. In California, I worked for a weekly paper in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I'm from originally.
In North Carolina, I worked two years (1990-92) at the Sun Journal, a daily paper in New Bern. There, I covered county government, commercial fishing – which is a big industry there – and the Gulf War.
New Bern is near the Marine Corps Air Station in Havelock, so I did lots of stories on the effects the war had on the wives and children left behind while the husbands and dads were fighting in Iraq. As one elementary-school teacher told me, "If one child's father or mother is killed, the security for the rest of the students is shattered."
In addition, my photographer and I were lowered by helicopter onto the USS Iwo Jima as it returned to port in Morehead City after deployment. I got to interview the sailors and Marines aboard ship and experience, firsthand, their welcome back by local residents who greeted them in the water in hundreds of small boats to escort them home.
I also interviewed parents of Marines killed in the war, as well as a Marine pilot whose aircraft had been shot down overseas. He spoke about what went through his mind while parachuting into the desert and what happened to him while he was a POW. Luckily, it was toward the end of the war and he was eventually freed to return home.
I also worked three years for the Prince William Journal, covering the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park, as well as a slew of criminal cases. And I've been with Centre View for almost 19 years, covering Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fair Oaks and Fair Lakes. For the past few years, I've also covered Fairfax and some of Lorton and Fairfax Station for the Connection.
