Loudon Arms Apartments Resident
I thought the apartments were good in the fact so much was included. It could be a little loud due to college Read Morestudents but not too bad. The laundry facilities were a little of an inconvience. I did have an issue with a leaking roof. It seems to me there was an issue before too because there was a few yellow stains on the ceiling. When we called about the issue all they did was spray some sort of adhesive on it.

Listen: Hear NPR News
President Bush ends his nearly four-day state visit to Britain Friday with a tour of Prime Minister Tony Blair's home turf of Sedgefield, in rural northeast England. The two leaders declare that their countries' alliance is as strong as ever, despite attacks on British assets in Turkey and new rocket attacks on Western-affiliated targets in Iraq.

Mammoth discovered in Mexico

Picture him trudging from lake to lake in the Mexican mountains, having climbed nearly half a mile from his pals into the hills to the picturesque watering holes, in search of a mate.
Now flash forward some 12,000 years to modern day Mexico City, where residents of the suburb of Milpa Alto recently stumbled across the most complete mammoth skeleton ever found in the country, the National Institute of Anthropology and History announced Monday....

Kim Raver & William Devane Return For '24: Live Another Day'Reported by Outsiders - 02:43 PM 2013.10.04
Kim Raver and William Devane will reunite with award-winning star Kiefer Sutherland when they reprise their respective daughter-father roles as AUDREY RAINES and JAMES HELLER on the thrilling new event series 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY, premiering Spring 2014 on FOX.
Both joined the original "24" in Season Four (2005). Devane served as Secretary of Defense JAMES HELLER and the father to Raver's character, AUDREY RAINES, a committed and passionate woman with a tragic past, who fell in love with JACK BAUER (Sutherland). They were both last seen in the final scenes of Season Six, when Jack said goodbye to a catatonic Audrey. Raver and Devane's reprisals add to the previously announced return of Mary Lynn Rajskub as CHLOE O'BRIAN, Bauer's quirky CTU confidante. Raver, known for her roles on "Third Watch," "The Nine" and "Lipstick Jungle," was most recently featured on the network series "Revolution" and "Grey's Anatomy." Devane, best known for his villainous role on "Knots Landing," recently played the U.S. President in the feature film "The Dark Knight Rises." Restarting the groundbreaking and Emmy Award-winning drama franchise, 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY will be set in London and will follow the further exploits of Bauer, taking up his story several years after the events of "24's" final season. Once again, viewers will join the heroic agent on a pulse-pounding ride in real time. 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY is a production of Teakwood Lane Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Television. Howard Gordon, Evan Katz, Manny Coto, David Fury, Robert Cochran, Brian Grazer, Jon Cassar and Kiefer Sutherland will executive-produce. The original series, which had its last American broadcast on May 24, 2010, was created by Joel Surnow and Cochran. Commentsblog comments powered by DisqusMORE television NEWS |

Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Nambu–Goldstone Bosons in Quantum Many-Body Systems
Received: 1 January 2010 / Revised: 31 March 2010 / Accepted: 6 April 2010 / Published: 7 April 2010
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Symmetry Breaking Phenomena)
Download PDF [559 KB, uploaded 7 April 2010]
Abstract: Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a general principle that constitutes the underlying concept of a vast number of physical phenomena ranging from ferromagnetism and superconductivity in condensed matter physics to the Higgs mechanism in the standard model of elementary particles. I focus on manifestations of spontaneously broken symmetries in systems that are not Lorentz invariant, which include both nonrelativistic systems as well as relativistic systems at nonzero density, providing a self-contained review of the properties of spontaneously broken symmetries specific to such theories. Topics covered include: (i) Introduction to the mathematics of spontaneous symmetry breaking and the Goldstone theorem. (ii) Minimization of Higgs-type potentials for higher-dimensional representations. (iii) Counting rules for Nambu–Goldstone bosons and their dispersion relations. (iv) Construction of effective Lagrangians. Specific examples in both relativistic and nonrelativistic physics are worked out in detail.

Just guessing here, but I imagine forecasters at the Weather Channel are embarrassed about having to give winter storms names like "Juno," "Kari" and "Linus." Juno is what they called the almost-big one that hit the Northeast in late January. My radar says marketing gurus, not meteorologists, are behind this nonsense.
The full-court press is on from every organ of enlightened liberal opinion: the Supreme Court must not decide this term's big Obamacare case, King v. Burwell, on the actual legal merits, which are a slam-dunk for the plaintiffs. Instead, supporters of the government want the case decided on the consequences of the Court stopping the flow of illegal subsidies. And they want to ignore the fact that stopping the subsidies will actually free millions of people in opt-out states from the individual and employer mandates. They only want to talk about people who would lose subsidies.

Proposed Sea Island development awash with controversy
Posted by
Staff Writer

The Sea Island Company wants to build a group of condominiums on what many people believe to be environmentally unsound ground. Why should you care?
According to Pierre Howard, "If Sea Island (Co.) can do this, then it can be done anywhere. The Georgia coast belongs to everybody." That, he says, is why you should care. Whether you live in Resaca or Rincon, to quote legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie, "This land is your land. This land is my land." That includes Georgia's mountains and our seashore.
Remember Pierre Howard? He was a long-time member of the Georgia state Senate and later served as the state's lieutenant governor. I tried to convince him to run for governor but after a quarter-century in politics, he decided there was more to life than living under a public microscope. A long-time conservationist, he has served the past five years as president of the Georgia Conservancy, a major force in conservation and environmental issues. He will retire from that post this summer but if the Sea Island Company thinks Pierre Howard is going to ride off into the sunset, I have some bad news for them.
So, what is the controversy all about? Sea Island wants to build eight residences on the southern end of the island, including a road through what is considered eco-sensitive marsh land. Opponents, including local citizens, environmentalists and even some Sea Island homeowners, say the 7.3-acre spit of land has greatly eroded over the past several decades and will continue to do so. Construction could destabilize the area. They say that much of the proposed area is underwater at high tide and that flood insurance will be prohibited due to the area's vulnerability to erosion and flooding.
Howard simply calls it "the worst development I have ever seen in my career" and has let it be known the company is in for a fight unless it is willing to sit down and talk about its proposed development, which Sea Island seems disinclined to do at this point.
The Sea Island Co. claims to have the law on its side. Indeed, the local planning commission recommended the Glynn County Commission approve the plan.
Opponents disagree with the findings and want the commission to hold public hearings on whether or not the disputed land was a part of a 2004 rezoning plan. As politicians are wont to do, local commissioners say they are still "gathering information" and "awaiting more findings and facts" from the state and federal government. Plus, it is an election year. Their tap dancing is worthy of Bojangles.
No question that Sea Island Acquisition LLC has money and power. In politics that usually translates into influence. It will be interesting to see what our state and federally-elected officials and assorted bureaucrats do as a result.

Not Be Found LyricsArtist: Seals & CroftsAlbum: I And II From the albums SEALS AND CROFTS (1969) and SEALS AND CROFTS I AND II (1974). You talk of love in endless riddles, the truth is bent to fit your teeth. Your ears hear only necessary words and thoughts that make you breathe. From out of the depths of want you wander, searching for familiar sound. Of some unsuspecting sorrow, on his way to not be found. Like a ravel gone unnoticed, 'til the cloth begins to tear. One small grain of salt in water, at first is not so hard to bear. Out of an hour or day you're born to play your harp and wear your gown. Hiding, waiting, for the right one on his way to not be found. Not be found. Should our paths cross each other I'll keep my eyes fixed on the ground. I'll keep right on walking past you, rather than to not be found. Not be found, not be found. To fill one's pipe with dreams of amber, to taste the smoke is ecstacy. But the one who claims the clouds won't let you know serenity. Lips that part with sweetened danger, moist with ill and evil sound. Await their chance to take the stranger to the land of not be found. Not be found, not be found.

Devon Energy Turnaround Spared by Activists
Updated from 3:40 p.m. ET to include Third Avenue Management comments and closing share prices.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- It took Devon Energy (DVN - Get Report) about a decade to grow from a bit player into the biggest independent energy producer in the United States. Now, it may take nearly as long for the driller to prove it can dismantle that sprawling empire.
Devon's woes are similar to those of Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report), Occidental Petroleum (OXY), and Hess (HES) who over-expanded during the 2000's and found themselves short on cash in the years after the financial crisis. Unlike its competitors, Devon hasn't faced the pressure of an activist investor as it restructures. That speaks to the change underway at Devon and, possibly, the scale of the company's issues.
Devon sold its Gulf of Mexico assets to BP
(BP) and Apache
(APA) for a total of $8.3 billion in 2010, exceeding the company's initial guidance to shareholders. Devon also impressed in February when it sold some of its businesses in Canada for about $2.8 billion, consolidating the company's international footprint to the Alberta oil sands and the Horn River.
This March, Devon completed a merger of its midstream business with Crosstex Energy. The combined company was then spun into general partner and master limited partnership securities, respectively - EnLink Midstream LLC
(ENLC) and EnLink Midstream LP
(ENLK) -- that will be controlled by Devon. Generally, Devon has exceeded expectations on its sale and spinoff of non-core business lines.
A Push Onshore To replace those divested businesses, Devon has redoubled its commitment to onshore projects in North America. After acquiring GeoSouthern Energy's assets in the Eagle Ford shale for $6 billion last year, Devon's core assets will consist of the Permian Basin, the Eagle Ford, Alberta oil sands and other onshore assets such as the Mississippi Lime. Perhaps the restructuring is complete. Devon may now be in a position to grow its oil production significantly and plug cash flow deficits that have stretched into the billions since 2010, according to Goldman Sachs. In that time span, Devon shares have underperformed the SIG Oil Exploration & Production Index by about 25% when factoring in dividends.
Devon shares have gained 3.3% year-to-date, closing Monday trading at $63.91. Goldman now forecasts Devon to grow its oil production by 50% to 330,000 barrels per day by 2016. That rising oil production could help Devon mitigate its exposure to oversupplied natural gas markets and finance any continued cost overruns.
Weak drilling results in the Utica Shale, the Tuscaloosa Marine Shale and the Cline Shale, however, raise concern about Devon's execution. Goldman analyst Brian Singer initiated Devon with a 'neutral' rating on March 18. The analyst said Devon is valued at a lower-multiple than restructuring industry peers; however, there is greater investor unease about the company's ability to meet capex guidance and execute on its drilling program. If Devon succeeds in unwinding a mistimed expansion completed by former chief executive and current chairman Larry Nichols, it will be a rare energy industry turnaround orchestrated without the hand of an activist investor.
Three years of restructuring may also be the foundation from which an activist may emerge. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Momentum names that made notable moves on Monday and could continue to do so into Tuesday's session include streaming content provider Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), telecom services concern America Movil SAB de CV (ADR) (NYSE:AMX), and electronics retailer RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH). Here is a quick look at these stocks ahead of tomorrow's opening bell.
Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX)
Netflix popped 4.2% today to close at $364.50, and is now up 21.7% from its April 28 year-to-date low of $299.50. Nevertheless, while the shares have been making headway, short interest on NFLX climbed 39.2% during the last two reporting periods, and now accounts for 9.3% of the equity's float. A continuation of the stock's upward trajectory may spur some short-covering activity in the near term, which could offer the shares an additional boost up the charts. Looking into Netflix's options pits today, speculators were placing bets on how the equity will fare this week. In fact, the stock's 18 most active options were all of the weekly 5/23 variety, expiring at this Friday's close.
America Movil SAB de CV (ADR) (NYSE:AMX)
America Movil fell 4% today to close at $19.61, after AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) announced plans to divest its 8% stake in AMX to facilitate T's purchase of DIRECTV (NASDAQ:DTV). Heading into today's session, AMX's 20-day International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) call/put volume ratio stood at 26.84, with speculators buying to open nearly 27 calls for every put over the past month. Today, however, the equity saw a change of pace in its options pits, as put volume spiked to more than 28 times the average daily amount, and almost quadrupled call volume. Most popular by a long shot was AMX's June 20 put, where it appears speculators bought to open contracts, expecting the shares to remain below the $20 mark through front-month options expiration.
RadioShack Corporation (NYSE:RSH)
RadioShack finished the session 4.1% lower at $1.17, and is now staring at a five-day deficit of 15.8%, amid a credit downgrade at Fitch on concerns that the company may be headed toward bankruptcy this year. While RSH was placed on the short-sale restricted list at today's open, activity in the equity's options pits was relatively sluggish. Nevertheless, calls outpaced puts by a margin of roughly 9-to-1, reflecting a broader options trend on RSH. Specifically, the stock's 10-day ISE/SBOE/PHLX call/put volume ratio of 2.01 ranks in the 74th annual percentile, meaning calls have been bought to open over puts at a faster-than-usual clip during the past two weeks. It is possible that long puts are relatively unpopular right now due to the limited profit potential on the contracts.

We'll be visiting the SoCal area during the first week of October. We're planning to visit DL/DCA for 3 or 4 of the days; LegoLand one day; and USH probably one day. We know about the entertainment schedule changes at DL/DCA (Snow White 'hiatus' & Aladdin dark Mon/Tue).
Does anybody know what the show schedule is for USH, for specific days, weeks, etc? The USH web-site doesn't give this type of detailed show-times information. Specifically, we're curious if the Fear Factor show will cut back its schedule during October? (I assume all shows will cut back to some extent) Just wondering if there is a link, etc, to find all of the details of the number of shows and show times at USH.

ImageHP G-Cloud Theatre
HP has formally opened the 'G-Cloud Theatre', a facility at HP Labs Bristol for demonstrating the company's vision of how the public sector and some large enterprises could run their IT infrastructure.
The facility, pictured, shows HP's proposal for how future public and private clouds could be displayed and administered.
"That's what the purpose of this is, to show how the technologies we have developed for a number of years to do with the management of massive scale infrastructures, the delivery of cloud services, all these areas that underpin cloud... could look in terms of a government cloud," John Manley (pictured, right), director of HP's automated infrastructure lab at Bristol, told ZDNet UK on Wednesday.

As many as 7,800 people have resigned from the Lutheran Church in Finland since the parliament approved a law legalizing same-sex marriages on Friday, which was backed by Kari Mäkinen, the Archbishop of Turku and Finland.
Mäkinen reportedly said that he was "rejoiced" by the passage of the law, YLE News reported on Sunday.
"I know how much this day means for rainbow people, their loved ones and many others. I rejoice with my whole heart for them and with them," the Archbishop said. "We are in the same situation as our neighboring Nordic churches: our concept of marriage needs a fundamental examination. Speaking for myself, I think it is time for reconsideration." more >>
A senior Church of England bishop has said that Prince Charles' coronation service should include a reading from the Quran so that Muslims feel "embraced" by the nation – a proposal which is being criticized by some Christian groups in the U.K.
Lord Harries of Pentregarth, the former Bishop of Oxford who now serves as an assistant bishop in the diocese of Southwark, made the proposal during a House of Lords debate, U.K.'s Daily Mail reports.
Reading the Quran at the coronation would mean the Church of England is taking the lead in "exercising its historic position in a hospitable way," as well as allow leaders of non-Christian religions to give their blessing to the new king, the bishop was quoted as saying. more >>
Pope Francis said Sunday, the last day of his three-day Turkey trip, that the Islamic State, or ISIS, terror group is committing a "profoundly grave sin against God" by using violence.
ISIS militants are committing a "profoundly grave sin against God," the pope said in an address at a Mass in Istanbul Sunday, the last day of his Turkey visit that is being seen as an effort to foster inter-faith relations, according to Reuters.
Francis said that ending poverty is vital because it leads to "the recruitment of terrorists." more >>
A day after calling for inter-religious dialogue to end Islamist extremism, Pope Francis on Saturday visited a 17th-century mosque in Istanbul and spent several minutes in a silent prayer with his head bowed in the direction of Mecca.
The pope made the gesture to promote Christian-Muslim relations at the Sultan Ahmet Mosque, known as the Blue Mosque, on Saturday, the second day of his three-day Turkey visit, according to the Vatican Radio.
He removed his shoes before entering the mosque with blue tiles on its walls. Standing next to him was the Grand Mufti, who explained about the Koranic verses illustrated on the stones pillars and the dome. more >>
Pope Francis, who arrived in Turkey Friday for a three-day visit, said there needs to be dialogue between faiths and religious freedom in the war-ravaged Middle East to counter religious extremism, and highlighted the plight of Christians and other minorities in that region.
"Fanaticism and fundamentalism, as well as irrational fears which foster misunderstanding and discrimination, need to be countered by the solidarity of all believers," the pope said in a speech to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and other political leaders on the first day of his pastoral visit to the cities of Ankara and Istanbul.
Francis said this solidarity must rest on certain pillars, which he described as "respect for human life and for religious freedom, that is the freedom to worship and to live according to the moral teachings of one's religion; commitment to ensuring what each person requires for a dignified life; and care for the natural environment." more >>
As Pope Francis visits Turkey on Friday for a weekend trip, Muslim religious figures have expressed hopes that the occasion can serve to restore Islam's image of peace and repair some of the negativity that has been associated with the religion.
Imam Ishak Kizilaslan of Istanbul's Sultan Ahmed Mosque said that he welcomes the pope's scheduled visit to the mosque, and said that he hopes Francis will see from the worshippers inside that Islam is a religion of peace.
"I will tell him ... that Islam is peace, the word means peace and submission," Kizilaslan said of what he plans to relay to Pope Francis during the pontiff's private stop on Saturday. more >>

I'd like to showcase the two apps I've found that make it easy to compare products so that I can pick the companies that put healthy ingredients and the environment first. Knowing that your products are chemical-free and cruelty-free is really the best way to pamper yourself!
The Environmental Working Group has an amazing Skin Deep Cosmetics Database that covers everything from skin care to cleaning products. They analyze the ingredients of products and rate how healthy they are for you. The more bad ingredients, the higher the score. You can sort the lists to see the best sunscreen, toothpaste, hair dye, and so on. EWG also has a mobile version which has a bar code scanner so you can test your products on the go.
Leaping Bunny is the organization the certifies cruelty-free products. You may recognize their bunny logo from certain labels of various beauty products and cosmetics. This site has a great shopping guide which shows you all the companies that have been certified by year and by category, and they also have an app version.
Companies have to re-qualify annually, so it's important to keep up to date. I've noticed some of my favorite companies that used to be cruelty-free now source materials that aren't, and recently lost their certification. But finding a replacement has never been easier with these tools.

It was given barely a mention at GM's press conference before being shoved awkwardly into GM's booth like last week's bagels. It gave the impression that the company wasn't confident in its new full-size baby.
We now know that with the 2014 Silverado, GM is lifting a page out of Porsche's playbook. No, Chevy's full-size pickup isn't getting a flat-6 in the bed. Rather, the new Silverado is an example of GM honing the core values of its most important model, resulting in a new version that makes purposeful, measured yet undeniably tangible improvements over the outgoing model. Evolution, not revolution. Sound familiar?
New Cabins, Familiar Size
At first blush, the overhauled 2014 Chevrolet Silverado doesn't look all that different from the 2013 version. But when we examined the new truck side by side with the old one (in truck-loving San Antonio), the differences became obvious. The old truck's slab sides are gone, and the new truck's wall-o'-chrome front-end treatment and bulgy-er hood make it look extroverted by comparison.
All-new cab structures for the three configurations (standard, double and crew cabs) bring improved structural stiffness and crashworthiness to the 2014 model. The cabs' basic dimensions are unchanged since they ride on the same frame geometry as before (strategic regauging of the frame's steel has shed some 33 pounds). However, a smidge more rear legroom was liberated by reshaping the back of the front seats, and the front passengers have more fore/aft seat adjustment range.
Gone are the awkward reverse-opening rear doors of the previous extended cab; the newly minted double cab has a traditional B-pillar layout to help the truck meet upcoming side-impact and rollover standards. All doors are now inset into the body rather than overlapping the roof, a move that makes for a quieter truck. The new cabin also rides on improved body mounts that further hush things up, and clambering into the bed is made easier by clever steps and handholds built into each rear corner.
Crew cabs now have the option of a longer 6-foot-6-inch bed in addition to the standard short bed, and there are a variety of axle ratios available ranging from 3.08 on 5.3-liter V8 variants all the way up to 3.73 in the optional Max Trailering package.
Direct Injection for the Masses
Its engine lineup, too, has been thoroughly massaged. The bread-and-butter 5.3-liter pushrod V8 now kicks out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. A new 4.3-liter pushrod V6 — essentially the V8 with two cylinders sliced off — produces 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. Later this year, a range-topping 6.2-liter version of the V8 of as-yet-indeterminate output will be available.
Don't be fooled by their carryover displacements. All engines in the 2014 Chevy Silverado are members of GM's new Gen 5 small block family, called Ecotec3, which shares its fundamental architecture with the outgoing Gen IV but has almost no parts in common. A primary goal of the Gen 5 engine family is to boost efficiency, so the engines sport direct injection and cylinder deactivation. Elsewhere, efficiency gains were found in the new body's improved aerodynamics and, predictably, by ditching hydraulically assisted steering in favor of electric power steering.
And the results? So far, the only fuel economy data released for the 2014 Silverado is for the 5.3-liter V8. Two-wheel-drive versions earn EPA ratings of 16 city/23 highway mpg (16/22 for 4WD), which is a gain of 1 and 2 mpg respectively over the outgoing 5.3-liter V8. It may not sound like much of a difference in absolute terms, but it is a meaningful gain on a percentage scale.
Top-Shelf Refinement
All those efforts to reduce noise have paid off. In practice, the new Silverado exhibits impressive refinement, with road noise snuffed out and only a whisper of wind noise at freeway speeds. It's a genuinely civilized cabin, probably the quietest in the full-size pickup business according to our eardrum dynos. And the electric steering is well-weighted and natural enough that nobody will mind its lack of feel.
The suspension geometry has been carried over, though tuning changes were implemented to take advantage of the stiffer cab structure. Front springs are stiffer, stabilizer bars are larger and the dampers were revalved. As a result, the new truck feels robust yet compliant, capable and comfortable. It shudders less when bouncing off of rocky trails, maintaining better composure than ever.
The 5.3-liter V8 delivers solid thrust with good manners. Throttle tip-in is a bit softer than we remember from the previous truck, and there's still a bit of shake in the steering when you give it the beans. More seamless than ever, however, is the cylinder deactivation system, which swaps between V8 and V4 modes often and with complete transparency.
Meanwhile, the 4.3-liter V6 engine exhibits similar traits, just with the capability turned down a tick and the volume up a commensurate amount. Another indication of this engine's all-around legitimacy is that it will be available in all trim levels rather than relegated only to work truck variants, as was the case with the old V6.
The sole transmission available in all 2014 Chevrolet Silverados is the six-speed automatic carried over from the outgoing truck. It's a respectable and capable gearbox, but the ratio jumps are still too wide when towing, despite the huskier new engines. The anticipated (but not confirmed by GM brass) upcoming eight-speed transmission will be a welcome addition.
All-New Interior
Cabin materials have been upgraded in many areas, and there are noticeably more bins and cubbies in the new truck. A vast array of equipment is available, from a factory spray-in bedliner, lane departure warnings and forward collision alerts (that can, thankfully, be switched off) to a trailer brake controller, a Z71 Off-Road package and beyond. Fancypants LTZ models can even be equipped with heated and cooled seats and have up to five USB ports.
Higher trim levels also offer the impressive new MyLink multimedia interface, sporting a clear, sharp 8-inch display and intuitive screen flow. And because touch-sensitive screens aren't always the best (think bumpy roads) there are redundant knobs and buttons, as well as a truly effective voice command interface.
Towing ratings rise to a maximum of 11,400 pounds with a Max Trailering package, though if we were going to tow something that heavy with any regularity we'd step up to a brawnier 3/4-ton truck. We towed an 8,600-pound skid-steer with a 5.3-liter V8 Silverado, and while there was plenty of reserve grunt and no sweats broken, the ride would probably grow tiresome on a long haul.
More Truck, Same Money
Crew cabs will be the first to launch, available sometime this month, while the V6 rolls in shortly thereafter. Despite the list of changes for 2014, GM has held the line on pricing for the base trucks at $24,585 for regular cabs, $28,610 for double cabs and $32,710 for crew cabs. There are a few adjustments up and down when it comes to equipment, but no real "gotchas" to speak of.
That's welcome news considering the bump in civility and capability garnered by the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado. Loyalists to the brand will welcome the new truck with open arms, as it is demonstrably better than the outgoing Silverado in every meaningful way. Whether it's enough to fend off the accomplished new Ram 1500 and EcoBoost-havin' F-150s among cross-shoppers is a matter that will take time to sort out.
Edmunds attended a manufacturer-sponsored event, to which selected members of the press were invited, to facilitate this report.
I am somewhat surprised even after a redesign, these trucks can't pass the J2807 SAE Tow test to validate those alleged tow ratings. Ford obviously lied when they said they'd be SAE-compliant by 2013, but they have a sliver of a loophole not having a new vhicle available until 2015. It's a bad excuse, but Ford will use any excuse they can find to avoid lowering their numbers. GM doesn't even have a bad excuse
What an insult to Porsche comparing gm crap to an engineering marvel like Porsche. The only thing I have read so far that is kind of neat was the LED lights in the bed. That I think might be the only new idea GM could come up with for its new trucks. By the way I have never ever read or seen a GM truck come even close to its highway rating. We have six 2010-2012 Z71 trucks in our company fleet and we just bought a 2013 F150 with the 5.0 and so far it has been way better than the GM trucks. Four of the GMs have had lifted issues one was at 10k miles!! Fix your lifter problem and be innovative then we might come back GM.
The front end doesn't have enough chrome.....I think they missed a spot!!! Just kidding. This is a pretty well executed evolution of a good truck (advances in fuel economy, design, attention to detail, utility, etc.). I am not a pick-up truck fan, but I am interested in the 5.3 liter V-8 which will supposedly be used in some form in the "rumored" less expensive version of the new Corvette.
same old overpriced, over-engineered junk GM has been pedaling for the last 30 years. you pay more for a truck that will willingly turn on service engine lights, have chronic evap leak issues, loose abs sensors and hubs at random, have air bag issues, and periodically refuse to run over idle enough for the driver to reach cruising speed. GM is still pushing the Vortec engines because they are cheap to make, and the average consumer who buys this crap, is too stupid to realize there are better more trucks from Dodge and Ford for less money.
Seems like a good, honest effort. You can tell the interior was stepped up, even if it is comprised of some really awkward looking shapes. The only thing that stood out to me is that they put the low beam projector as high as possible, which blinds other, lower, drivers more often; and the high beams are in the low slot instead of being placed as high as possible for better range. I'm not happy about that.
If this was the old Inside Line there'd be 100 posts already. So far I like the truck, but it's the upgraded chassis, brakes, steering, etc. I'm interested in. Don't care so much about the HP #'s. Bring back IL.
That grill with the hexagonal mesh is BALLS! Wish a few other makers would take a lesson. *Cough*Jeep*cough*.

Nuthin' But Mech
I had a couple page spreads in the recently released Nuthin' But Mech book. A lot of really talented artists contributed so it was an honor making the cut. Pick up a copy!
6 comments:
Nice pieces and congrats on the book. I got my portfolio reviewed by you at the last SF Workshop. You gave me some great advice, especially on treating my vehicles as compositions within themselves and creating balanced areas of interest to move the eye around. Had a great time at that show and appreciate your sharing knowledge their.
Brandonhello. i like your mechs. design and visual technic ,both are cool. don't wanna bothering u but it would be cool to hear some tips about how u crating a design of ur mechs :D i didn't find any tutorials of u but vehicle design. because its very helpful to get some tips and tricks from professional concept artist for beginners as me :D
well , good luck ,looking forward ur new pictures

In general relativity, the magnetogravitic tensor is one of the three pieces appearing in the Bel decomposition of the Riemann tensor.
The magnetogravitic tensor can be interpreted physically as a specifying possible spin-spin forces on spinning bits of matter, such as spinning test particles.

The Ada Jenkins Center utilizes over 750 unduplicated volunteers a year. These volunteers provide more than 20,950 hours of service to effectively manage our programs on behalf of the client-partners we serve. This support equates to approximately $447,000 in donated services!
The majority of our volunteers commit to a regular schedule of volunteer time within a specific program. In 2013-2014, volunteers helped feed more than 2,309 client-partners through our Loaves and Fishes pantry, resulting in 4,598 services provided. With volunteer support, we were able to serve 565 patients, conduct 1,297 patient visits and offer 221 referrals to specialists in of Free Clinic of Our Town. These are just a few of the examples of the benefits of a strong volunteer core committed to supporting Ada Jenkins. In 2013-2014, Ada Jenkins served 4,516 neighbors in need providing 12,656 different services.

The Blue Man Group, Maintenance Geeks, or Jacks-of-All-Trades - whatever you want to call these three volunteers combined, please include the term "fantastic." Mario Bibiloni, Joe Scarpino, and Nick Jurisko all met for the first time at an AJC volunteer orientation back in Jan 2014 - Mario as facilitator, Joe and Nick as participants.
Since then, these three volunteers have become a cohesive team, serving The Center's maintenance needs as never before. They have completed well over 110 logged maintenance requests from staff, varying from hanging bulletin boards and shelving to keeping the main building restrooms functional.
The service they provide The Center is invaluable and desperately needed! People are surprised to learn these three are not lifelong friends, even though they are all Northerners and have December birthdays.
Joe, Nick and Mario - The Ada Jenkins Center staff and other volunteers cannot thank you enough for your gift of maintenance to The Center!!!

In medicine, amyloidosis is a non-specific term that refers to a number of different diseases collectively called amyloidoses. Amyloids are proteins whose secondary structure changes, causing the proteins to fold in a characteristic form, the beta-pleated sheet.[1] When the normally soluble proteins fold to become amyloids, they become insoluble and deposit in organs or tissues, disrupting normal function.[2][3] Different types of amyloidoses have different signs and symptoms depending on where and in which organs the amyloid proteins aggregate. Amyloidoses can be inherited or acquired.[4]
Historical classification systems were based on clinical factors. Until the early 1970s, the idea of a single amyloid substance predominated. Various descriptive classification systems were proposed based on the organ distribution of amyloid deposits and clinical findings. Most classification systems included primary (i.e., idiopathic) amyloidosis, in which no associated clinical condition was identified, and secondary amyloidosis (i.e., secondary to chronic inflammatory conditions). Some classification systems included myeloma-associated, familial, and localized amyloidosis.
The modern era of amyloidosis classification began in the late 1960s with the development of methods to make amyloid fibrils soluble. These methods permitted scientists to study the chemical properties of amyloids. Descriptive terms such as primary amyloidosis, secondary amyloidosis, and others (e.g., senile amyloidosis), which are not based on etiology, provide little useful information and are no longer recommended.
The modern classification of amyloid disease tends to use an abbreviation of the protein that makes the majority of deposits, prefixed with the letter A. For example, amyloidosis caused by transthyretin is termed "ATTR". Deposition patterns vary between patients but are almost always composed of just one amyloidogenic protein. Deposition can be systemic (affecting many different organ systems) or organ-specific. Many amyloidoses are inherited, due to mutations in the precursor protein.
Other forms are due to different diseases causing overabundant or abnormal protein production - such as with overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains (termed AL amyloidosis), or with continuous overproduction of acute phase proteins in chronic inflammation (which can lead to AA amyloidosis).
About 60 amyloid proteins that have been identified so far,.[5] Of those, at least 36 have been associated with a human disease.[6]
The names of amyloids usually start with the letter "A". Here is a brief description of the more common types of amyloid:
Official abb. | Amyloid type/Gene | Description | OMIM |
AL | amyloid light chain | AL amyloidosis / multiple myeloma. Contains immunoglobulin light-chains (λ,κ) derived from plasma cells. | 254500 |
AA | SAA | Serum amyloid A protein (SAA) is an acute-phase reactant that is deposited in the tissues in AA amyloidosis. | |
Aβ | β amyloid/APP | Found in Alzheimer disease brain lesions. | 605714 |
ATTR | transthyretin | A mutant form of a normal serum protein that is deposited in the genetically determined familial amyloid polyneuropathies. TTR is also deposited in the heart in senile systemic amyloidosis.[7] Also found in Leptomeningeal amyloidosis. | 105210 |
Aβ2M | β2 microglobulin | Not to be confused with Aβ, β2m is a normal serum protein, part of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class 1 molecules. Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis | |
AIAPP | amylin | Found in the pancreas of patients with type 2 diabetes. | |
APrP | prion protein | In prion diseases, misfolded prion proteins deposit in tissues and resemble amyloid proteins. Some examples are Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (humans), BSE or "mad cow disease" (cattle), and scrapie (sheep and goats). A recently described familial prion disease presents with peripheral amyloidosis causing autonomic neuropathy and diarrhea.[8] | 123400 |
AGel | GSN | Finnish type amyloidosis | 105120 |
ACys | CST3 | Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, Icelandic-type | 105150 |
AApoA1 | APOA1 | Familial visceral amyloidosis | 105200 |
AFib | FGA | Familial visceral amyloidosis | 105200 |
ALys | LYZ | Familial visceral amyloidosis | 105200 |
? | OSMR | Primary cutaneous amyloidosis | 105250 |
ABri ADan | ITM2B | Cerebral amyloid angiopathy, British-type Danish-type | 176500 117300 |
APro | prolactin | Prolactinoma | |
AKer | keratoepithelin | Familial corneal amyloidosis | |
AANF | atrial natriuretic factor | Senile amyloid of atria of heart | |
ACal | calcitonin | Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid |
As of 2010, 27 human and 9 animal fibril proteins were classified, along with 8 inclusion bodies.[9]
An older clinical method of classification refers to amyloidoses as systemic or localised
Another classification is primary or secondary.
Additionally, based on the tissues in which it is deposited, it is divided into mesenchymal(organs derived from mesoderm) or parenchymal(organs derived from ectoderm or endoderm).
Native cells have two different ways of making different proteins. Some proteins cells make in one piece; others, cells make only protein fragments, and the fragments come and join together to form the whole protein. But such a protein can sometimes fall apart into the original protein fragments. This process of "flip flopping" happens frequently for certain protein types, especially the ones that cause amyloidosis.
The fragments or actual proteins are at risk of mis-folding as they are synthesized, to make a bad protein. This causes proteolysis, which is the directed degradation of proteins by cellular enzymes called proteases or by intramolecular digestion; proteases come and digest the mis-folded fragments and proteins. The problem occurs when the proteins do not dissolve in proteolysis. This happens because the mis-folded proteins sometimes become robust enough that they are not dissolved by normal proteolysis. When the fragments do not dissolve, they get spit out of proteolysis and they aggregate to form oligomers. The reason they aggregate is that the parts of the protein that do not dissolve in proteolysis are the β-pleated sheets, which are extremely hydrophobic. They are usually sequestered in the middle of the protein, while parts of the protein that are more soluble are found near the outside. When they are exposed to water, these hydrophobic pieces tend to aggregate with other hydrophobic pieces. This ball of fragments gets stabilized by GAG's (glycosaminoglycans) and SAP (serum amyloid P), a component found in amyloid aggregations that is thought to stabilize them and prevent proteolytic cleavage. The stabilized balls of protein fragments are called oligomers. The oligomers can aggregate together and further stabilize to make amyloid fibrils.
Both the oligomers and amyloid fibrils can cause cell toxicity and impair organ function.[11]
If diagnosis of one of the amyloidoses is suspected, a tissue sample of an affected organ, often abdominal wall fat, the rectum or a salivary gland, can be examined in biopsy for evidence of characteristic amyloid deposits. The tissue is treated with various stains. The most useful stain in the diagnosis of amyloid is Congo red, which, combined with polarized light, makes the amyloid proteins appear apple-green on microscopy. Also, thioflavin T stain may be used.[12] An abdominal wall fat biopsy is not completely sensitive and, sometimes, biopsy of an involved organ (such as the kidney) is required to achieve a diagnosis.[12]
The nature of the amyloid protein can be determined by various ways: the detection of abnormal proteins in the bloodstream (on protein electrophoresis or light chain determination), binding of particular antibodies to the amyloid found in the tissue, or extraction of the protein and identification of its individual amino acids.[12]
"Senile systemic amyloidosis" was determined to be the primary cause of death for 70% of supercentenarians (people over 110) who have been autopsied.[13][14]
Treatment depends on the type of amyloidosis that is present. Chemotherapy is the first line treatment in AL, with mephalan plus dexamethasone. In AA, symptoms may improve if the underlying condition is treated; eprodisate has been shown to slow renal impairment by inhibiting polymerisation of amyloid fibrils. In some familial causes of amyloidosis a liver transplant may be curative.

2011 ICS boards compatibility
Hi, I heard that Burton is changing their EST system for next year, so their ICS boards and EST bindings will be new technology.
So I'm wondering will the 2010 or older EST bindings fit on the 2011 ICS boards? Or we'll have to get 2011 EST bindings on these new boards? |

I found the catalog for the 2011 stuff, they're not doing anything differently. ICS & EST setup will be exactly the same. What sense would it make to come out with a new technology only to change the compatibility of it?
2010 Burton EST & ICS will be compatible w/ 2011. They've made some pretty nifty changes to bindings though. They offer removable foot pads on the bindings that are interchangeable (other pads sold separately). |

The two versions are called M5 (prior to 2011) and M6 (new for 2011). The Channel will still operate the same the M6 version is just a little thicker. The male/female connect is switched on the M6 too (the screw is male and the insert is female) as opposed to the M5, that is when the conversion hardware is needed (it will come free with ever 2011 board). They put a little notch in the area where you put the insert in, this will disallow M5 hardware in a 2011 M6 channel (only the M5 conversion hardware will fit). All EST bindings work with either M5 or M6 hardware.
