There has always been a lot of venting threads on here regarding TW members being unsatisfied with their experiences with 4 Wheel Parts. This one being the most recent:
In this most recent thread there were a number of people that voiced their opinion that 4 wheel parts should no longer be featured on TW's "shop online" drop down list. I figured I would start a poll so that the members of TW can vote and make their case for whether 4 wheel parts should stay or go.
I don't know if this poll would be considered by Bob and the Mods in whether or not TW will continue to support 4 wheel parts but figured it could be a more official "voice" of the minions...too bad TW isn't a democracy!!
Anyway... vote, make your case, and we'll see if there really is enough disgruntled TW members to make a difference or if its just the occasional bad experience that seems to stick out.

BLU isn't yet a household name in the realm of smartphones, but the company has been quietly releasing hardware for the last few years, letting the remarkably low pricing do the talking. Today they've pulled the cover off of three new models, all aimed at the new "phablet" craze, or at least the lower end of it. The new Studio GSM smartphones start at 5 inches and just $149, and all three feature Android 4.1, the Google Play Store, and dual SIM slots. Specs are low, but these phones look like ideal budget devices or travel companions.
The Studio 5.0 is the cheapest of the lot, at $149 unsubsidized.

Michele Bachmann balks at Sarah Palin 'girl power'
Michele Bachmann says she's not a feminist. In an interview, the sole female GOP candidate for president doesn't talk about girl power the way Sarah Palin and Hilary Clinton have.
Andy Dunawa/AP
By Kristen Powers
She is clearly a trailblazer for women, throwing her hat into the highest ring in politics. But while Michele Bachmann became the first female presidential candidate of the 2012 campaign this week, she does not, interestingly enough, view herself as a feminist.
Unlike Sarah Palin, who has brandished the feminist moniker and spoken of an "emerging conservative feminist identity," Bachmann told me in an interview Tuesday that she wouldn't call herself a feminist—instead, she simply described herself as "pro-woman and pro-man." When I pressed her on the matter, the Minnesota congresswoman said she sees herself as an "empowered American."
Bachmann seemed loath to engage in the kind of girl-power rhetoric utilized by Palin and Hillary Clinton, who both invoked the perennial—and so far unbreakable—presidential glass ceiling.
Said Bachmann: "I'm a woman comfortable in her own skin. I grew up with three brothers. My parents didn't see us [as] limited [by gender]. I would mow the lawn and take out the trash; I was making my own fishing lures. I went along with everything the boys did."
Bachmann is still doing everything the boys do, but as a female candidate she endures indignities that are foreign to your average male pol. Yet she takes it all in stride.

Marseilles, March 1939
Ilse held her suitcase safe between her knees. There was a continuous loud crackle of announcements, which she could not understand. After an hour she moved to the corner seat beside the frosted glass window, for this gave an angled view of the Gare St. Charles. There she watched the constant flickering of single and multiple blurs against the yellow advertisement for Amer Picon. Any one of those blurs might open the door from the huge vault of the station and solidify into the person collecting her. This was distracting. Each time the door opened and it was not for her, she could not settle. In the guidebook, the tour of Marseilles occupied twelve pages, whereas Paris took up thirty-three. Marseilles was a mighty port, the oldest of the cities of France. Ilse shut her eyes and conjured up the map of the harbour which, facing west, was defended by its two great forts, Saint-Jean, to the north, and Saint-Nicolas, to the south. How happy her mother had been to find a guidebook in French in the tiny foreign language section of the Wuppertal public library.
Greeks from Asia Minor had landed here twenty-six centuries ago, dark men in galleys with long oars. Centuries passed. Another hour went by. The city of enthusiasms welcomed the revolution, sent five hundred volunteers to Paris. The soldiers from Marseilles electrified the crowd with their rendition of a new marching song. It became the hymn of the revolution and was renamed in their honour. The guidebook had printed all the verses. She sang them in her head: the day of glory has arrived. People came and were collected and were replaced. Yawning, she feared to sleep. Marseilles, she recited to herself, is the great western emporium for trade with the Levant, importer of grains, sugar, peanuts, copra and Indian corn. How hungry she was. The big boy with the scuffed shoes unwrapped and ate his picnic, shovelling bread into his mouth. The woman with two small children went away to the café and then returned with chocolate bars. But Ilse did not move. What if the Red Cross woman came and did not find her there? Her legs felt funny, tingling with pins and needles but also very soft. Anxiety blurred the din, sharpened the ceaseless turning and returning of the same thoughts. Her head jerked up as once more the door opened abruptly, letting in a swell of noise.
It was a short woman with dark hair dyed blonde. "Du bist Ilse,"* she said. She was not German. Ilse stood, a little wobbly. Certainty, which should have brought relief, was worrying. How had she recognised her? The Red Cross woman beckoned to Ilse to come nearer. She smelt of sweat, her pink face thickly powdered. With a pencil, she trailed down her typed list and crossed off Ilse's name, scoring it deeply. "Come! Hurry you along!" she said in an odd mixture of German and French.
They hurried through to daylight and dust and wind. A huge flight of steps led past massive statues down to a boulevard. There was a hotel opposite and the sprawling city below, a patch of green to one side. Ilse noticed some young children playing and paused just for an instant but the woman (red woman, cross woman) hurried her on. They were to take a taxi. As she opened the door, the woman told the driver to go straight to the ship's offices and to take the most direct way. She was disinclined to talk, which seemed to Ilse a great pity and an opportunity missed. Wriggling forward in the seat, the woman took off her jacket and eased her feet out of her shoes, as though she was on her own. How busy she must be, to need this moment so badly. Her feet were swollen with angry-looking bunions, the blouse ringed with sweat stains under the arms. She studied the list, which was typed on both sides of the piece of paper, as she bit at ragged cuticles. Her hands looked raw and used. Perhaps she went back and forth all day, shuttling unknown children on and off boats, to and from stations. Ilse hoped so. She badly wanted a companion.
Jolted against the acrid odour of sweat and perfume on the turns, Ilse looked in vain for traces of the great trading city. There was no sight of the world-famous Canebière ("broad boulevard at the heart of Marseilles where those touring Provence must choose to stay; site, in more turbulent times, of a permanent guillotine"). She saw unremarkable streets full of people and trolley cars and trees whipped by the wind. She tried to see the street names, for the French loved liberty, equality and fraternity. Every town in France boasted a street named after deputy Mirabeau, a Jean Jaurès or a Garibaldi. Her mother had explained that France honoured great men who fought for freedom, even the foreign ones. There could never be a Hitlerplatz here. This was why everyone loved France. Hard as she tried, squinting against the light, the streets reeled by much too fast for her to read the names. But for the dirt and the names of the shops, it might have been Düsseldorf. They turned into smaller and darker streets. There was still no sign of the sea but she had smelt it in the sharpness of the wind; she felt its nearness in the way the streets all hurried down towards the water.
She cleared her throat and spoke in her careful French. "Can we go to Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde? From the peak, one can admire the view of the town and the Mediterranean."
"A church. It is called Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde."
"You want a church?" said the woman, giving her a curious, sidelong look.
"There is a lovely panorama over the sea," persisted Ilse. The steeple, with its gilded ten-metre-high Virgin, rose fifty metres above the hill. The guidebook said that it was the Virgin who kept the city safe.
"Ah no, there is no time. It's the opposite way," she said.
Ilse had the timetable of her long journey firmly fixed in her head. She knew that she had hours to spare. She looked at the woman and the way her fingers ripped at each other, and her turned-away face.
They turned into a square and then the taxi drew up at a big cream building. The woman told the driver to wait. A queue spilled onto the street. The woman forced her way inside in the face of protests, tugging Ilse behind her. She cast one look at the room, which was packed with people, and pushed Ilse on, one hand in the small of her back, not unkindly but firmly.
"These people are waiting for the boat to Oran. You'll go from La Joliette. That's the new port. You can walk to the dock from here. Go with the others. You understand?"
Ilse nodded.
She watched the short figure stumping out to disappear into the haze, the last link in the human chain that had moved her to this place. She knew that the woman was supposed to see her onto the boat. Sitting on the suitcase, Ilse was level with the legs shuffling towards the ticket office. She had been wrong to mind the smell of sweat. The Red Cross woman was the sort of person whose kindness was all used up in her work, leaving nothing over for conversation, no space into which other people might intrude. She would probably never talk to the children she took from place to place. Ilse thought with regret that she had had her opportunity to see Marseilles and she had sat in the station and not taken it. From Strasbourg to here, she had crossed the whole of France without even drinking a cup of the prized French coffee: for this she had nobody but her stupid self to blame. It was nearly three o'clock. French people took two or three hours for lunch. The tables at the charming seafront restaurants would still be full. Her mother had told her how to order food in a proper restaurant and had recommended the bouillabaisse. She would have undertaken any of the excursions her mother and she had planned, had they been offered. But Ilse was incapable of leaving this room, where she had been told to remain, to go to an unknown café, however near.
Weeks ago, her mother had bought a berth in a four-person cabin in a cruiser, a white ship which would set sail from the harbour built by the Romans as the sun set. Big though the ship would be, it hardly seemed possible that all these people could get cabins. They looked hard-pressed and too poor for a luxury cruise. The woman at the guichet was bad-tempered and snapped at anyone who showed the slightest impatience with her. Every berth was taken. There was space on deck. She shrugged her shoulders. If they didn't want this boat, then they could take the next. For you to choose, she said. But it would be just as crowded if not more so. One or two went away. Most just bought tickets.
Her stomach rumbled. There would be dinner on the boat, perhaps at the captain's table. Because it was such an expensive journey all the meals were included. Conversation would be animated and pleasant, and the captain would salute his guests in champagne, making toasts to every one of them. "A votre santé, Monsieur le Capitaine." "Et à la vôtre!"
The people waiting did not look as if they were the kind who dressed for dinner and she felt embarrassed in advance for them, for the awkwardness when they found out. In her case, she had a dress, which she hoped was not too crushed.
At six o'clock a man in a blue official-looking jacket opened the double doors at the back of the room. The crowd pushed forward. A short walk from the back of the building lay the sea, which was not blue at all but nearly black. The wind blew hard and she held her coat together to keep warm. From the quay she saw that despite the pretty name, the Belle de France was not a cruise ship but a ferryboat. Streaks of rust lay down the funnels. There could be no sun loungers on this deck, no pursers in white uniforms. There was no first class. She had been told to find a steward who would have a passenger list and tell her where to go, but no such person seemed to exist.
The decks were already full of people who had no berths, who lay or squatted on the floor and should have been unhappy, but had a kind of ease. Men in long gowns with dark faces and sandals were smoking strong-smelling cigarettes. These were probably Berbers, natives of Morocco. One man gave her a welcoming smile. Coffee-coloured, he was beautiful with eyes of a miraculous, deep blue. She was not to smile back. Her mother had been very clear about whom to talk to (almost nobody) and when (only when essential).
It was stuffy down below, where a long snail of passengers trailed down corridors all carrying luggage and looking for their cabins. Ilse held her suitcase in her arms as a buffer before her and followed the others. People argued. Nobody knew where to go. The names of the passengers were handwritten on slips of paper pasted outside the cabin doors, so each door created another obstacle in this already crowded place. Ilse reminded herself that those like her, shuffling from corridor to corridor, sidestepping and stumbling with their luggage and fighting to see the scraps of paper, were the lucky ones. They would have a bed to sleep on. Mademoiselle Blumenthal's berth was at the very end of the corridor a further floor down; there seemed no way that fresh air could penetrate these depths. She read a French name and two more German-sounding ones, a Madame Ginsberg and a Mademoiselle Tischler. The door was open: a nun sat on a bunk reading. A fat middle-aged lady wearing a lace blouse sat on the other side with suitcases piled beside her, with eyes closed. When Ilse knocked, she gave a start.
"Bonjour, Mesdames," she said quietly. A lucky chance had allocated her the top bunk. She lifted up her suitcase and heaved it up, then scrambled up after it. She had not had a space of her own for days. There was a little net on the side, which would be a good place to put her book, her own light switch and a hook for her coat. The blanket was folded in a neat way and perhaps the sheet was clean. She hung up her coat and lay down, and through her trembling legs and the heaviness of her head, which was now aching quite hard, she felt deep relief at being in the precise place which her mother had selected for her. With her eyes closed, she could almost see her mother's face.
"Are you Mademoiselle Blumenthal?" The fat German lady stood in the middle of the cabin, beaming and looking at her.
Ilse said that she was.
"Miriam Ginsberg, very pleased to meet you."
She stared too hard. Ilse wondered if she had a smut on her nose. She rubbed it, unobtrusively, checked that her hands were clean.
"My dear. You won't fall down, will you?"
Ilse said that she was fine. She opened the case, took out Winnetou and hid behind it.
"What are you reading?"
She held up the book politely.
"Isn't that a book for boys?"
She shook her head, concentrated and read on. A tall, thin woman came in and the fat lady whispered something and then introduced her as her sister, Fräulein Tischler. The sister, who had a sweet smile, held out her hand. Ilse climbed down, did her curtsy, offered her hand and climbed back up again. The thin one whispered through one cupped hand to the fat one, something that Ilse had been taught was extremely rude and quite unnecessary when a person was not even looking in their direction. She turned on one side and read on, facing the wall. If she remained that way round and kept her head down, she could avoid seeing them.
Old Shatterhand, feigning timidity, said he could not swim and asked how deep the water was. The Indians despised this. When kicked into it by Intshu-tshuna, he threw up his hands and dropped into the water with a show of terror. Once in the element he knew so well, everything changed. Like an otter he swam under the cold water, holding his breath, surfacing at the overhang on the opposite bank where there was just room for a man to lift up his face and breathe, and the chance that he would not be seen. It was a daring and a courageous plan.
"Would you like to come and sit with us? It's much more comfortable down here."
"No, thank you."
The Indians had believed his show of fear, despising him, and now they stood, amazed, scanning the waters and wondering where he had gone. With lungs full, Old Shatterhand slid down into the water again and swam with powerful strokes on to the distant bank. The water eddied and flowed, and the Indians stared. By now, surely, he was dead.

The Appeal of Leather Office Chairs
If you look at any office furniture website or go to any office furniture store you are guaranteed to find a wide selection of leather office chairs ranging in different colors and prices designed to suit any one person's specific needs. It is safe to say that leather office chairs are one of the most popular chairs to purchase, whether online or in a store, and have been for many years. Whether you are searching for an executive leather office chair to spruce up your work office space or a traditional leather office chair for your home, you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for with all the leather chairs available from a vast array of manufacturers. While most are drawn to leather because it looks good and gives off an aura of prestige, there are many other additional reasons why leather is so appealing.
When someone purchases a genuine leather office chair, they can expect unmatched levels of style, comfort, and durability. The natural materials and unique manufacturing techniques provide superior quality to other upholstery products. Leather has properties which make it superior to other upholstery materials. One of those properties is the fact that it is unique in that it will not tear along the seam lines, or easily rip as some other fabrics do. Some leather alternatives' quality decreases over time, allowing the material to get thin and brittle making it easier to rip and tear. Through the dyeing process, colors are absorbed by the leather so they will not rub off or fade.
Leather is one of the only materials that is fire resistant, and emits no toxic fumes, even when exposed to intense heat. Modern leather will not crack or peel; instead it stretches and retains its shape without sagging. Leather also offers aspects of pure comfort that far exceeds other fabrics, making it a practical and stylish material. Leather can also assume body temperature rapidly and become immediately comfortable.
One of the most appealing aspects of leather is that it is designed to age well, meaning over time it actually begins to look even better. If you ever need to clean your leather chair, it is very easy to maintain compared to chairs with a fabric or mesh material. Stains will come out much easier, with just a quick wipe with a damp cloth.
Each leather working is unique. Just like a fingerprint, every single piece of leather has its own individual characteristics. Each feature reflects the leather's natural origins and path from its creation to your home. Markings such as scars, wrinkles, and grain variations, add character and individuality to your furniture and will show you that your leather is of the top quality level.
With so many benefits and features that come embedded in a leather office chair, it is no wonder why these chairs are so appealing.
The Difference Between Leather vs. Vinyl vs. Faux Leather
There seems to be a certain appeal to products that are made of leather. Whether you are purchasing a leather jacket, leather jeans to take you back to the 80's, a wallet, or in this case a leather office chair; people seem to love leather. It could be the status symbol already embedded in people's minds, the comfort of sitting in a soft leather chair, or the fact that leather is what you are used to that keeps people coming back for more.
People seem to be most confused by what options are available as an alternative to leather and how do these alternatives compare to the real deal? The fact is there are many alternatives to leather, and each has its own separate aspects to be had. It is important to realize the differences and benefits of leather and alternatives, especially when contemplating purchasing a new chair. It is safe to say you want to know what options are available and what is going to be best to suit your wants and needs.
When shopping for a new or used leather office chair, you will encounter vinyl, imitation leather, LeatherPlus, Caressoft, Faux Leather and other terms in your quest to find your chair. It is important to consider and take all these different options into account when searching for a leather chair, because some of these could be good alternatives to leather and save you money in the process.
Vinyl is a close alternative to leather, looking nearly identical and most probably would not even know it was vinyl unless it was included in the specs/description of the chair you were purchasing. Over the years there have been an abundance of advancements in the way vinyl is created and textured, leading to a very close resemblance to leather. In the biotech industry, vinyl office chairs are the chair of choice because of its bacteria resistance and easy to clean surface. The main difference between leather and vinyl is the time wear since leather breaks down and becomes softer, unlike vinyl which is essentially plastic. Vinyl is more prone to feel like plastic over time. Vinyl is also less expensive in price than its leather counterpart. If value and saving money are what you are looking for in a chair, then a combination of leather or vinyl is not a bad alternative.
Imitation leather, LeatherPlus, Faux Leather, Caressoft, and other terms like that are generally referring to some sort of fabric which started out as leather, but ended up infused with some sort of polymer to give it strength and durability. Essentially a combination of leather and vinyl, the leather and polymer (usually a blend of vinyl and a softener) are broken down then molded back together to form a comfortable product with the softness of leather. Depending on the manufacturer of the chair, these infused leathers have a different feel to them. Some are soft, others are a bit more firm and hard. A LeatherPlus, for example, is going to be a softer, more subdued infused material. It will not be as shiny as leather, but close in softness.
Though leather alternatives do come at a cheaper price there are also downfalls to choosing them over leather. Leather office chairs get softer over time, meaning it is going to be even more comfortable as time goes unlike leather alternatives that basically stay the same and sometimes get uncomfortable as time goes by. Longevity is another key reason why people are willing to spend more on leather, it will look better over a longer period of time as well as comfort. The choice of leather and imitation leather is always a difficult decision to make, so be sure to consider what qualities and price point you require a chair to have and make your choice from there.
Advantages and Disadvantages of a Leather Office Chair
For years, the executive leather office chair has been depicted as the epitome of class, success, prestige, and wealth. Look at almost any TV show or movie that features an office figure that is looked up to and admired and take a look at what kind of chair they are sitting in. The vast majority of the time the chair they are sitting in is a leather office chair. Even just imagining a leather office chair, the first person that comes to my mind when I think who would be sitting in it would be some high powered executive. Although notoriously reputable and sought after, leather office chairs like any other kind of chair comes with both advantages and disadvantages.
One of the key advantages of owning a leather office chair over a chair with a fabric material is the ease of maintenance. Leather upholstery is generally easy to maintain and can be cleaned simply by wiping the chair with a clean damp cloth. Applying a special leather cleaner every six months or so also maintains the overall appearance of the leather chair. If carefully maintained, a good quality hide upholstered chair will develop its own patina to give your leather office chair a distinctive appearance as it matures and ages.
Along with being easy to maintain, leather office chairs also give off the aura of prestige and power. Not only do leather chairs give off an aura of power, but they also look very nice and are appropriate in any business setting, whether you are at work or at home. Some leather office chair manufacturers also provide a variety of custom colored upholstered choices so those that want a more unique chair can purchase that green leather office chair they have been dying to get. Although about 90% of leather office chairs produced typically come in the standard black color, with white and burgundy being close second and thirds as far as color popularity.
One problem some people seem to find with leather is the tendency for it to put a shine on your clothing, especially for those that wear expensive outfits or business suits to work. You may find that your clothes wear out more quickly than before if you were sitting in a fabric or mesh chair.
If you work in an office that does not have air conditioning or gets really hot in temperature, especially during the summer months, you may find that your leather office chair will cause you to sweat and perspire excessively. However, some top quality leathers do come with a breathable finish which will help reduce or even eliminate this problem.
A big disadvantage that is not necessarily the chairs fault, is that people get fooled into purchasing chairs that are advertised as cheap leather office chairs. People believe they are getting an unbelievable bargain price when in actuality really cheap chairs with leather upholstery will always be a compromise, frequently they are made from off cuts and scraps of very low quality leather that have been pieced together to cover the chair. This leather can be thin and brittle, meaning the chair will not last long and will begin to tear as time goes by.
As aforementioned, with any chair or in reality any product, there are pros and cons to purchasing a leather chair. Whether you can outweigh the positives for the negatives is ultimately your decision but most importantly as a rule of thumb, if a chair sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Maintenance of a Leather Office Chair
When it comes to purchasing an office chair most people have one key feature in mind that they expect their chair to come with, and that is easy maintenance. Of course, maintaining an office chair is not always as easy as it sounds, especially if you sit in the chair for long hours everyday for several years. There is always that occasional accidental spill that occurs when you are eating your favorite snack before lunch or the time you spilled your pepsi on your chair. When spills and stains take place on chairs that are made from a fabric material, they are generally more difficult to clean and maintain than chairs made from other kinds of materials. That being said, if you are looking for a chair that is designed for its durability, comfort and low maintenance, then leather office chairs are a must have item for your office.
An ergonomic leather office chair finished in a high quality hide will give you many years of good service no matter if you are using the chair as an executive leather office chair that you sit in for a few hours a day during meetings or a leather office desk chair that you sit in for the whole duration of your work day. Reputable suppliers will be more than happy to tell you about the origin, quality and grade hide used in the manufacture of their office seating products to help you assess the difference between high and low quality leathers. High quality leathers are usually upholstered in a single piece of hide to maintain the appearance and the finish. Frequently cheap chairs with leather upholstery are made from off cuts and scraps of very low quality leather that have been pieced together to cover the chair. Typically this leather can be thin and brittle in texture which will cause the chair to rip and tear over time.
Generally speaking leather upholstery is easy to maintain and simply needs a regular wipe down with a damp cloth combined with a little bit of soap and possibly an application of a specialist hide cleaner every six months or so. Leather cleaner is relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at your local home appliance store such as a Home Depot or a Target. When you spill that drink you brought back from lunch on your chair, a damp rag will do the trick to get rid of the spill leaving virtually no remembrance. If leather is carefully maintained, a good quality hide upholstered chair will develop its own patina to give your leather office chair a distinctive appearance as it matures and ages.
Leather chairs in general are easier to maintain than fabric office chairs. Whether you have a black leather office chair or a brown leather office chair, maintenance will stay the same regardless of color or style. With leather fabric being easy to wipe down, spills and food remnants are easy to take care of and remove. High quality leather office chairs are also built to be durable, another distinguishing factor that will help your chair last longer. If you are looking for a chair that will need little maintenance and will still provide you with a touch of class and style, a leather office chair is the way to go.

(Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE via Getty Images)Kobe Bryant directly asked Dwight Howard if he disliked playing with him during an emotional Lakers team meeting Wednesday, according to a Los Angeles Times report."Guys went at each other a little bit," said a witness to the meeting prior to Wednesday morning's shoot-around.Coach Mike D'Antoni began the meeting by telling the team he was tired of reading newspaper stories in which players questioned his offense. Bryant and Howard both were quoted criticizing the offense after the team's 95-83 loss Monday in Chicago. Howard said he was unhappy taking just five shots in the game.When D'Antoni asked players to speak up, Steve Nash, who led D'Antoni's offense for four seasons in Phoenix, said he didn't care which offense the team used so long as everyone was comfortable.Bryant then acknowledged that he could be "hard to play with" before asking Howard if that bothered him. A person who witnessed the meeting said Howard's answer was unclear, but that "He didn't go back at Kobe."Later at the shoot-around, Howard told reporters he was sorry for complaining about his number of touches and took responsibility for his play."It starts with me," Howard said. "I have to be more of a player out there on the court and not worry about anything, not complain. Just do what I do best." Promoted Stories Comments

Comments about Eskimo Stingray S33 8" Power Ice Auger:
i like the product that Eskimo made also easy on the wallet. it starts with in three pulls if you prepare it right by putting the choke on and priming it. coldest start on it was 5 degrees with a wind chill of -15. cut through 12 inches of ice in about 20 seconds or less. the throttle spring is a bit weak and the throttle might stick. all u have to do is use cable ties to a spring to the trigger than to the cable. and it cost 2 bucks. seems like a pretty solid item.

Large Study Shows Substance Abuse Rates Higher in Teenagers With ADHDScience DailyFebruary 11, 2013
A new study published online in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry revealed a significantly higher prevalence of substance abuse and cigarette use by adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) histories than in those without ADHD. Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and six other health centers across the United States also found that, contrary to previous findings, current medications for ADHD do not counter the risk for substance abuse and substance use disorder (SUD) among teenagers.

Now LEED has grown into a powerful brand and global phenomenon. There are 14,044 LEED-certified commercial projects, covering more than 2 billion square feet, in 140 countries. Another 34,601 projects are in the pipeline. Northern California is home to hundreds of LEED buildings.
"Green building is not a curiosity anymore -- it's a huge market," said Aditya Ranade, a senior analyst with Lux Research in Boston. "The green building sector will be a $280 billion global industry by the end of the decade. LEED is dominant around the world, but there are other standards. Malaysia has its own Green Building Index, and China has developed its own three-star-rating system."
The Green Building Council offers four levels of LEED certificates. They range from certified, in which 50 percent of the requirements are met, to platinum, in which at least 80 percent are met. Facebook's data center in Prineville, Ore., for example, achieved LEED gold status.
But as LEED has grown and green building technology evolves, so has the need to update the rating system. The Green Building Council, a nonprofit with 14,000 member companies, on Tuesday will release proposed changes known as LEED v4 that member companies can comment on.
The original idea behind LEED was to make buildings more energy efficient and reduce the carbon footprint of the built environment. But LEED-certified buildings, which are often filled with natural sunlight and access to fresh air, have proved to be popular with employees, improving concentration and boosting productivity.

The Desktop -- Time to Start Saying Goodbye?
Different kind of monster (547 comments)
I don't think its really a black and white comparison. Obviously desktops have advantages and laptops have advantages. You dont want to lug around a 22 inch screen on your laptop but for your desktop, you want that. You're not going to get the latest and greatest hardware on a laptop, but you can on a desktop. Laptops are portable and good enough for most people, but a bit pricier than desktops.
It's a different tool for a different job kind of thing, the summary makes it seem simpler than that.

hi all. have a question. i installed a casablanca holliston fan and im trying to install the wall switch that came with it (model w84). the wires coming out of the switch are a black, a black with a white stripe in it, a red which is capped that the manual tells u not to use and a green wire. the manual tells you to hook the black wire with white stripe from the switch to the power source black wire coming from wall and black wire from switch to the other black wall wire. it also says to connect the green to the bare wire. well all i have coming out of the wall is a black, white, a bare wire and red (yes its 14/3 wire that is not used cause the fan switch splits the power between the light kit and fan). i dont have a second black wire coming in that they tell you to use. do i hook black/white stripe wire from the switch to black from wall, the black from switch to the white from the wall and the green to the bare wire from the wall? any assistance would be appreciated. |

Most likely what you have here is a "switch loop", the power runs to the fan box and then is fed down to you (if they obeyed the code) on the white wire. The black wire then is the feed to the fan motor. Of course, that presumed that whowever installed this the first time followed the rules. Some checking with a meter will verify the issue (the white wire should be at 120V and the black at zero). |

GREAT album. It feels much more consistent than past output. I'm guilty of often skipping some of the tracks on veckitamest for the top shelf jams (i.e., two weeks, ready able, cheerleader, while you wait) – some of the other tracks on that bitty can lag a bit if I'm casually listening, although I do enjoy them. I don't know if this is due to the experimentation on veck's (<— short form) other tracks, which clearly deviate from the shit you know your mom would like. HOWEVER, I feel like everything is much more cohesive on this album. Whereas something like "Dory" slams the breaks and puts you through the windshield, I put shields on and know that I'm in for a consistent pantaloon jazzing, without skipping anything to keep the momentum going. And the back third is just such a goddamn treat. what a solid finish (sun in your eyes O. M. G.). I didn't expect this tone of album from da boys but I'll be damned if it ain't just a gem of a lil heart. Favourite moments stem from little things – the wizzing slam at 2:45 of Sleeping Ute, the killer rasp in Ed's voice on Speak in Rounds (stevie nicksesque??!?! uh, yes pls), the interplay between eddy and danny's vocals throughout. Also, Sun in Your Eyes is the most beautiful thing I've heard this year. It feels special and no one else could have done it. Everything is just more consistent (Droste, 2012) and it makes the overall piece so much better. Thx to da bears for this one. I will be supporting my local record shop ;) ;) ;) ;) |

I should probably disclose that I'm actually a big fan of Apple products to the point of being a low-level Apple snob. But I'm deeply frustrated by the way in which they have marginalized music on their music-playing devices. (It reminds me very much, in fact, of the way MTV marginalized music as a part of their programming as they saw increased revenues in more structured programs.) Realistically the profit margin in MP3 players is dwindling rapidly, but as a music lover with a vast library, I want a product that suits my needs (which Apple seems to have lost interest in producing). Can't blame 'em for focusing on the bottom line, I just hope a suitable alternative eventually finds its way to market. |

You guys are all nuts. This album is terrible. More boring than even Veckatimest. But at least that record had songs like Cheerleader and About Face. I don't like a single song on this record. To be fair I only really liked Horn Of Plenty. Yellow House and Veckatimest, were to boring and included to many bad Daniel Rossen songs. But on this one it seems Droste is just as terrible as Rossen usually is. Gimme Swans or Merchandise over this. This might even be worse than that Bon Iver Record from last year which I also hated as well. Hopefully Pitchfork will pan this record so we can be done with them. Sites like Tiny Mix Tapes will definitely hate this album, but I guess thats to be expected. Actually Half Gate is good though. So one good song on the entire record. |

It's never a bad idea to pay attention to the business-side of all these websites we love to read so you know why you're reading what you're reading, and you're probably right with your last line — It's become very apparent on here that the focus is on money / click-thru / traffic-driven content rather than quality-driven original thoughtpiece content. In the past year, BUZZMEDIA, Inc. (the company who owns Stereogum) has built themselves an empire by pretty much monopolizing the market. They've recently bought out SPIN (and last I heard, they were going to take the print publication out back and shoot it,) PunkNews.org and also hold Gorilla vs. Bear, Brooklyn Vegan, RCRD LBL and Absolute Punk as assets. I imagine they can't have all these websites doing the same exact thing content-wise and thus, competing against themselves and neutralizing their purpose, so Stereogum looks like it has had to evolve into a website that invites a lot of discussion between its readers, so hence list after list or op-ed pieces on new albums at best.
There was also a very interesting article that came out this week about how Prefix Mag has pulled an Amanda Palmer and taken to Craigslist to lure professional writers into their website to write posts for free because they can't afford to pay them (http://noisey.vice.com/blog/prefix-mag-cant-afford-to-pay-their-music-writers.) I don't know how Stereogum (or BUZZMEDIA, more specifically) operates, but every time I click on an article, I don't even recognize the by-line. Not accusing them of doing the same, but I imagine that paying freelancers saves them a lot of money and provides them with more traffic-driven content than just having four or five staff writers pull the train all by themselves.

"SharePoint offered a very powerful system for customizing and managing the content, while Microsoft Dynamics CRM provided the workflows and the required reporting on the back end," says Hossam Eloraby, Delivery Manager, Gulf at ITWorx. "Because these applications have the same look and feel as other Microsoft Office applications, they were easy for ministry officials to learn." The website and the three add-on services are in the user test stages and will be rolled broadly by the end of 2012.The website will be hosted in a third-party data center managed by the telecommunications company Etisalat.
Real Impact for Today's Healthcare By building its website on SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, the Ministry of Health has been able to present healthcare information to citizens in a way that's easier to find. "We want to reduce the headaches of finding information," Selaiteen says.
For example, the infectious disease surveillance module will make it easy for citizens and medical providers to find critical information about infectious diseases by consolidating it in a single location. Likewise, the immunization module will enable citizens and medical providers to access their entire vaccination histories on one screen.
"If someone gets into an accident and a doctor needs to schedule an emergency operation, he can quickly go to the website and see if the patient has the vaccinations needed to go ahead with the surgery," Selaiteen says.
By consolidating healthcare information in a central location, the Ministry of Health can improve the delivery of healthcare services. "Previously, the ministry couldn't manage all the immunizations that were requested," says Eloraby. "But with all of this information in one place, they can figure out how many people need a particular vaccine and then reach out to the clinics to make sure people who need vaccines get them."
Finally, by turning manual-based systems into automated e-services, the ministry will dramatically reduce the time it takes to report medical information and obtain approvals for applications.
"By automating the medical advertisement application process, the time it takes to get approvals should be lowered from several months to just a few days, and the time our workers spend on these applications should be reduced by at least 80 percent," Selaiteen says.
Until now, citizens were required to come to the ministry at least four or five times and wait in a long queue to get their ads approved. "Now they won't have to come at all—they can do it all online," Selaiteen says. "That's a tremendous time savings."

"All of my friends were impressed with the beauty and quality of this invitation. Comments included," I've never seen such a beautiful invitation." Another comment was. "The quality of the invitation is exceptional!" I am very impressed with Wedding Paper Divas and am planning to order the Thank You cards as well. The quality of this product far surpassed the quality of invitation stores. Thank you for helping to make my daughter's Bridal Shower classy and unique."
"We didn't buy our other wedding stationery from here, but when looking for nice Thank You cards, we wanted something specific - purple & butterflies. Wedding Paper Divas had just the card. This card was well-represented online and exceeded our expectations in person. The cardstock feels very high quality, and there was no fading or blank spots in the printing, which added to the high quality feel. The blank space inside the card allowed plenty of room for personal notes, and our guests were impressed with the look and feel of the notes."
"Love my thank you cards for my upcoming bridal shower. Simple, elegant and to the point. I also was able to match the color of the flowers to my girls dresses."
"I'm a naturalist, so these butterflies fit beautifully for my invitations, reply cards and thank you notes. The plum was colorful without being too bold. The font was lovely and appropriate. I was sent the proofs quickly and had to double check them, therefore the results were perfect."

NAGPUR: Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation is considering offering owners whose lands are to be acquired compensation through mutual negotiations either at a price above ready reckoner or an option of 15% developed land in its industrial areas. This policy may be adopted on trial basis for land for the expanded Butibori five-star industrial estate where 1500 hectares are being acquired.
Announcing this here on Tuesday, minister of state for industry and housing Sachin Ahir said the policy to offer a better deal to the owners was being adopted as the government felt it was not fair to acquire land by using old laws forcibly. He said at Butibori, for the first time an ITI will be established to impart skills to the locals making them employable.
Ahir also announced at least 150 acres of ULC land would be handed over soon to Nagpur Improvement Trust and MHADA. They could jointly build affordable houses on it. Moreover, MHADA was also coming up with a township at Waddhamna off Amravati Road on the outskirts of the city.
Ahir said, at Chandrapur MHADA was building a township on2500 hectares and first tranche of 200 houses may be handed over soon to owners. MHADA had also decided to henceforth acquire land after mutual negotiations to avoid litigation. Ahir was addressing newspersons at the NCP office here as part of party's focus on organisational building and image improvement in the region.
The young minister also announced that the new industrial policy of the state would be ready in next one and half months. About the proposed law to regulate housing sector in the state, he said it was being readied for presidential assent and may take another eight months for implementation. He said the Housing Regulatory Authority would have quasi judicial power and any private builder building a scheme on land over 2000 sq metres and above would have to register it with the authority giving full details of the scheme. Failure to do so would attract a fine of Rs1 crore or three years' imprisonment. The housing regulator would be able to check all fraudulent practices by builders and contractors, he hoped.
About the Ramai housing scheme for the backward classes to be implemented by the NMC, he said his department had given a grant of Rs11 crore for it. Lamenting that there was no progress in the scheme, he said he had instructed NMC authorities to submit a status report in 15 days.

What do you have for a rug in your kitchen area? We recently renovated/added on such that the old kitchen is now our eat-in space, while the new kitchen is housed in the addition. We need a good sized floor covering to protect the quarter sawn oak floors, most especially in the eat-in section, beneath our dining table.
An actual rug doesn't seem like a practical choice, given spillage, crumbs, etc. I'm drawn to the idea of a painted floorcloth, but haven't found a good source yet. I've seen (in magazines) laser cut or water-jet cut vinyl floor treatments that were kind of interesting, but none yet in a style that is traditional or appropriate for the period of our house: 1902 Colonial Revival. Any ideas? TIA! |

I actually prefer no rug at all under a table that used often. Seems like it only makes more work and covers up a beautiful floor in the process. We have thick felt pads with a somewhat sharp ring to pound into the bottoms of the legs of the table and chairs that protect our oak floors. They are available at Home Depot, Lowes and even Wal Mart has them in their hardware department. |
My personal preference is to not worry about protecting the wood as 'normal wear and tear' is OK and expected. But you will have to refinish quicker than if you protected the floor. I can't imagine putting vinyl on wood, it just would seem like one of those mats you put under high chairs? Of course it is probably different than I am imagining?? I'd leave it naked. As for crumbs, you can get a dog. Oh, but then you'll have to worry about the dog because they really scratch wood floors up!! |

PHILADELPHIA -- Michael Vick will make his Philadelphia Eagles debut Thursday night against the Jacksonville Jaguars if all goes well over the next three days of practice, coach Andy Reid said Saturday.
"I think there is a chance of that," Reid said. "Right now that's the plan. But we'll see how it goes."
Vick signed with Philadelphia on Aug. 13 but was not allowed to play in the team's first two preseason games under the provisions of his suspension from the league.
