Bullseye & JSWC?
I just stepped up from Berry's to the Hornady 200 C/T jacketed SWC.
(They call it "Combat/Target") I was surprised to see that there was no listing in the Hornady manual for this bullet and Bullseye. They use it for the 185, but not for the 200. Surely folks load bulleye and the 200 SWC... I see lots of listings for LEAD semi wadcutters, but not for jacketed. What say you, experts?

Start with the starting load for lead SWC's and work up from there. Lead loads are generally reduced from jacketed loads so you will be just fine. You will need to work up to find out what cycles your gun reliably and is accurate. Be sure to pay attention to your overall length, too. Don't seat them too deep as that can raise pressure.
Good luck! PS: Work up loads in 10-15, just in case they don't cycle your gun. That way you won't have a bunch of rounds that you have to manually rack in the chamber to shoot....or alternately a bunch of rouds to pull.

In my Hornady manual (I just assumed you loading .45ACP?, if not ignore the rest of this reply & tell us what caliber) 8th edition, 200 grain FMJ c/t (discontinued) shows bullseye 5.0 - 5.4-5.7. Same as the 200grain HP-XTP. Hope this helps.

COLUMBIA — Missouri coach Mike Anderson's team is delivering on its preseason claims of being a surprise team.
After starting the season without a single vote in either major poll, the 22-4 Tigers are third in the Big 12 Conference and were ranked No. 11 in Monday's AP poll. The ESPN/USA Today poll ranked the Tigers No. 10.
It's the first time Missouri has been ranked in the top 10 in either poll, after December, since 1994.
Some facts:
- Missouri's 9-2 start is its best in Big 12 play, which started in 1996. It's the best start for the Tigers in league play since they went 14-0 and won the regular season Big Eight title in 1994.
- Missouri's first loss during the 1993-94 season was a 102-68 thrashing at Arkansas, the eventual national champions. Anderson was on the Razorbacks' bench as an assistant coach under Nolan Richardson.
- The No. 10 ranking in the ESPN/USA Today poll is Missouri's highest since December 2002.
- Before this season started, Missouri was picked to finish seventh by the Big 12 coaches. So far, the Tigers are 4-0 against teams ranked ahead of them in that poll.
- Although senior forwards DeMarre Carroll and Leo Lyons lead Missouri in scoring, six of the team's seven newcomers are averaging more than seven minutes per game. Junior transfer Zaire Taylor has started every game and is second on the team with 25.2 minutes per game.
- According to ESPN, Missouri is a "lock" for its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2003. The Tigers haven't made a postseason tournament since an NIT berth in 2005.
- ESPN's "Bracketology" and other Web sites have Missouri projected as a No. 3 or No. 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. That would be the highest seed for the Tigers since the 1993-94 team received a No. 1 seed.
- Anderson's .636 winning percentage (56-32) would make him the coach with the most wins for the program during his first three years as a Missouri coach. Quin Snyder is second with a .620 winning percentage in his first three years.
- Anderson will be on ESPN's "First Take" at 8:40 a.m. Tuesday on ESPN2. He will join ESPN's Dana Jacobsen and Jay Crawford at the KOMU studios in Columbia.
- After averaging 6,650 fans in 10 nonconference games, the Tigers have averaged over 13,350 fans in six Big 12 home games, including sellout crowds of 15,061 in their past three games. A limited number of tickets remain for next Wednesday's game against Kansas State, and the March 4 game against No. 2 Oklahoma is already sold out.
- In Big 12 play, DeMarre Carroll is third in the conference with 18 points per game and seventh with 7.3 rebounds per game. He has a chance to become the Missouri program's third first-team All-Big 12 selection, and the first since Kareem Rush in the 2001-2002 season.

It's all action in Morocco
Posted on by Sue Elliot in Traveller stories tagged cooking, Intrepid Foodies, Morocco, movie locations, traveller stories
Morocco has set the scene for many great movies, even though you might not have realised while you were watching. The destination is rarely the star of the show, and the same goes for some local personalities, as Intrepid's Mandy Morrissey discovered…
"Ait Ben Haddou is a lovely old town in Morocco with a picturesque Kasbah dating back to the 700s. Although now only inhabited by a handful of families, the local Kasbah and Ait Ben Haddou have starred in a number of films in recent times, including The Mummy, Gladiator, Alexander, Kundun and classics such as Lawrence of Arabia and The Jewel of the Nile. But what made the town more interesting for us was getting a chance to meet 'Action Couscous'.

A. Report Prepared By: Jonathan R. Cantor
Title: Freedom of Information Officer
Agency/Component: SSA, Office of the General Counsel,
Office of Public Disclosure
Telephone: 410-966-6645 FAX: 410-966-4304
Mailing Address: Office of Public Disclosure
B. Electronic address for a copy of this report on SSA's website: http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/
C. To obtain a paper copy of this report write to the address shown above, or phone, fax, or E-Mail to the Office of Public Disclosure. E-Mail address email@example.com
II. How to Make a FOIA Request
A. Complete information on making a FOIA request is contained in The Code of Federal Regulation, (CFR), 20 CFR Part 402. It is available at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/foia/
B. SSA will try to furnish information as quickly as possible. However, it may take one month or more to locate, retrieve, and review many records. Complex requests and requests for numerous records may take longer.
C. We generally do not disclose information about living individuals without their written consent, as this would be a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6).
We do not disclose tax information about third parties obtained by SSA from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(3).
Depending upon the nature of the document, SSA may withhold documents under the deliberative process privilege, the attorney work product privilege or attorney-client privilege under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5).
III. Definitions of Terms and Acronyms Used in the Report
A. Agency specific acronyms or other terms.
1. SSA - Social Security Administration
2. SSN - Social Security number
B. Basic terms, expressed in common terminology.
1. FOIA/PA Request - Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act request. A FOIA request is generally a request for access to records concerning a third party, an organization, or a particular topic of interest. A Privacy Act request is a request for records concerning oneself; such requests are
also treated as FOIA requests. (All requests for access to records,regardless of which law is cited by the requester, are included in this report.)
2. Initial Request - a request to a Federal agency for access to records under the FOIA.
3. Appeal - a request to a Federal agency asking that it review, at a higher administrative level, a full denial or partial denial of access to records under the FOIA, or any other FOIA determination such as a matter pertaining to fees.
4. Processed Request or Appeal - a request or appeal for which an agency has taken a final action on the request or the appeal in all respects.
5. Multi-Track Processing - a system in which simple requests requiring relatively minimal review are placed in one processing track and more voluminous and complex requests are placed in one or more other tracks. Requests in each track are processed on a first-in/first-out basis. A requester who has an urgent need for records may request expedited processing.(See below).
6. Expedited Processing - an agency will process a FOIA request on an expedited basis when a requester has shown an exceptional need or urgency for the records which warrants prioritization of his or her request over other requests that were made earlier.
7. Simple Request - a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track processing places in its fastest nonexpedited) track based on the volume and/or simplicity of records requested.
8. Complex Request - a FOIA request that an agency using multi-track processing places in a slower track based on the volume and/or complexity of records requested.
9. Grant - an agency decision to disclose all records in full in response to a FOIA request.
10. Partial Grant - an agency decision to disclose a record in part in response to a FOIA request, deleting information determined to be exempt under one or more of the FOIA's exemptions; or a decision to disclose some records in their entireties, but to withhold others in whole or in part.
11. Denial - an agency decision not to release any part of a record or records in response to a FOIA request because all the information in the requested records is determined by the agency to be exempt under one or more of the FOIA's exemptions, or for some procedural reason (such as because no record is located in response to a FOIA request).
12. Time Limits - the time period in the FOIA for an agency to respond to a FOIA request (ordinarily 20 working days from proper receipt of a perfected" FOIA request).
13. "Perfected" Request - a FOIA request for records which adequately describes the records sought, which has been received by the FOIA office of the agency or agency component in possession of the records, and for which there is no remaining question about the payment of applicable fees.
14. Exemption 3 Statute - a separate Federal statute prohibiting the disclosure of a certain type of information and authorizing its withholding under FOIA subsection (b)(3).
15. Median Number - the middle, not average, number. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the median number is 7.
16. Average Number - the number obtained by dividing the sum of a group of numbers by the quantity of numbers in the group. For example, of 3, 7, and 14, the average number is 8.
IV. Exemption 3 Statutes
A. List of exemption 3 statutes relied on by the Agency during the fiscal year.
1. 26 U.S.C. 6103 - SSA withholds tax return information, such as third party addresses and employers' names and addresses, in situations in which section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code is applicable.
41 U.S.C. 253b(m) - The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997, Public Law No. 104-201, codified at 41 U.S.C. 253b(m), contained a prohibition on the release of contractor proposals under the FOIA. It prohibits the disclosure of any proposal that is not set forth or incorporated by reference in a contract entered into between an agency and the contractor that submitted the proposal. This provides blanket protection for proposals of unsuccessful offerors.
2. Statement of whether a court has upheld the use of each statute.
26 U.S.C. 6103: Yes
The withholding of tax return information has been approved under three different cases. See e.g., Church of Scientology v. IRS, 484 U.S. 9, 15 (1987); Aronson v. IRS, 973 F.2d 962, 964-65 (1st Cir. 1992) (finding that IRS lawfully exercised discretion to withhold street addresses pursuant to 26 U.S.C. section 6103(m)(1)); and Long v. IRS, 891 F.2d 222, 224 (9th Cir. 1989) (holding that deletion of taxpayers' identification does not alter confidentiality of section 6103 information).
The United States Supreme Court and most appellate courts that have considered withholding tax return information have held either explicitly or implicitly that section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code satisfies subpart (B) of exemption 3.
41 U.S.C. 253b(m): Yes
The withholding of contractor proposals under this statute has been approved in Hornbostel v. Department of Interior, 305 F.Supp.2d 21. (D.D.C. 2003)

VIII. Comparisons with Previous Year
SSA's FOIA and access workloads continue their projected increase, especially the latter. This workload increased by 54% over last fiscal year. The majority of the increase occurred in SSA's field locations (about 1,500). This year, more field offices reported their workloads using an automated system, assisted by clarification of reporting instructions. SSA shows it processed 1,450,589 requests in FY 2004, as compared to 704,941 reported in FY 2003. This significant increase represents improved reporting of individual access requests, as well as requests for earnings records and SSN records (Numidents) that are processed in the Office of Earnings Operations. Please note that access requests are rarely denied, which accounts for the decrease in denials.
The vast majority of the field requests continue to involve access requests, which have a quick turnaround time. Requesters usually receive a record in the same day; i.e., requests for information from a manual, copies of the Social Security Act, requests about themselves from SSA's computer systems, etc.
Most of the fees that SSA collected for earnings records and Numidents are based on a separate provision for fee charging in section 1106(c) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1306(c)), rather than the FOIA fee schedule. This provision allows SSA to recover the full cost of certain non-programatic requests and is reflected by the increase in fee collections.
Other statistics significant to Agency:
1. Number of requests received for expedited processing: |
3 |
2. Number of requests granted expedited processing: |
0 |
IX. Costs/FOIA Staffing
A. Staffing levels |

$14,551,579 |
4. Comparison with FY 2003 Total |
$13,579,247 |

I am very happy with my purchase, the housing looks great and measures the same as my 65 Chevelle 10 bolt. The only thing I noticed was it comes with 1/2 inch wheel studs not 7/16 as advertised, wheel bearing were not pressed all the way on the axles, and it does not come with factory style bushing, it comes with rebuildable joints installed. Overall this is a great piece.
brandon65, Seattle -
These axles work very well. Work as good as the "other" brands
Rehbein55, Harrisburg, pa -
Exactly what I expect, quality product, great customer support and fast shipping.

This orange couch is a fold out tween size bed. The blue couch is a full size futon.
We had a really lovely stay here- the road is so quiet and yet very close to all the shops and cafes on Cow Hollow- its a lovely walk down wide streets to the sea front where you can picnic with the backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge. There are two supermarkets at the end of the street and plenty of places near by to eat out. The flat is light and was very clean. The instructions to get into the accommodation were clear and easy- the hosts were flexible and helpful. Comfy beds and good quality bed linen and towels.
Hosts weren't there to greet us, which was totally fine. They left us straightforward instructions on how to get into the house and password for the internet. Everything was easy access. Just a few minor things we noticed: the place is all hardwood floor, so if you're a snorer or a light sleeper, you will here that. There's only one car garage, I drove my mini cooper there and it fit perfectly in the garage, but other than those things, everything was fine. The neighborhood was quiet and nice, close to coffee shops and restuarants. Gargage door opens so quietly, too.
The house is exactly as seen on airbnb. Excellent communication from host. Nice house in quite street. Brilliant area, being just off Union St, with lots of food places and shops. Felt very safe any time of day or night in this neighbourhood.
This is a wonderful and very comfortable home in a convenient neighborhood. The parking garage was a huge plus (but don't plan on parking a large car here!). The neighborhood is convenient to shopping, bus lines, and restaurants. I would recommend it without reservation.
This apartment was in a great location. Excellent neighbourhood with good shopping and food available and close enough to San Fransisco's main attractions. The accommodation was as described in the listing. Quite large with enough space for family of 4. Children were able to sleep in separate beds because of the sofa bed. Plenty of space to relax on another couch and well equipped kitchen. Owners were very accommodating allowing us to leave our luggage when we arrived early and following up on a laptop plug which we thought we had left behind. Would recommend giving the floor a scrub as it seemed to have a film of grey dust over it. Could also have used a dustpan and brush to sweep up. Couch was a bit grotty underneath. Water pressure in the shower wasn't great. Second bed was a bit uncomfortable. Overall these were small issues and the experience was very positive.
Wonderful home in a great part of town! Next to lots of great restaurants, shops, etc.
Amazing house in an amazing location. Super close to a lot of bars, restaurants, etc. It's really spacious for a San Francisco home and 6 of us had plenty of room. Parking in the garage is a plus. Yelena was super helpful & available when I had questions. Would definitely stay again.
This host has 147 reviews for other properties.
I was born and raised in Ukraine. My family moved to United States in 1989. My husband and I have lived in San Francisco for 22 years and raised 2 wonderful daughters. I want to welcome you to our beautiful city and offer you an amazing comfortable place for your stay. Enjoy it!

The first time I "met" sensei in the chatterbox, he was helping someone out. He helped me out too, when I was just beginning.
I miss his calm voice, always patient with the newbies, and always helpful. He rarely seemed to get annoyed with noders who were driving everyone else up the wall (though maybe he'll read this and say, I really came off like that? What is this girl smoking?).
I don't know why, but just seeing his name at the top of the Other Noders list was somehow comforting to me as a newbie. I felt like there was someone I could ask questions to, and not get laughed at.
/me misses sensei too.

Shamiana hosts a festival of horror short films at Alliance Francaise in New Delhi this evening
When Dorothy is invited over to the Poe's on Halloween night, no one ever told her about their decomposing, comatose mother living in the upstairs bedroom. Shewishes somebody had when the storm hits, and mother wakes up.
Eager to embrace the thrills and the chills? Then head to Alliance Francaise on new Delhi's Lodhi Road this evening to watch not just Dorothy's histrionics but a medley of five horror shorts from across the world as part of a horror film festival organised by Shamiana, the country's only dedicated short film club. Leading the list, as you must have guessed from the above synopsis, is Jonathan Martin's An Evening With My Comatose Mother.
Then there is a Norwegian short film, In Chambers, which portrays how reality is experienced by those who are in coma and how the system works in this seemingly macabre and hostile space. "Horror always has its own thrill and charm and I feel it's one of the most fascinating genres in films. It's a thrill to scare people," says Cyrus Dastur, noted theatre actor and founder of Shamiana on picking the theme. "I have personally chosen each and every short in this package. Each film brings with it a unique story and excellent narration. It took me six months and seeing over 300 shorts before I could finally zero on these," adds Dastur.
Dastur feels horror is very difficult to do in short films because good horror needs great technique, budgets and experienced story tellers which shorts films rarely have at their access. "Making a good horror short film is challenging. They could end up being funny than scary!"
The lone Indian entry is Ravi Iyer's Mazaak Mat Karo, a seven minute film where a radio jockey's funny show turns scary when he dials the number of the death registrar's office.
Talking about the sub genres of horror on show, Dastur promises, "All are scary in their own way and yes, the idea was to scare the daylight out of our audience. But some of them also have a fun side to it." Formed in 2008, the club has 10 chapters and there is no membership fee. Claiming that Shamiana is already Asia's largest short film club, Dastur says shorts are the next big thing. "Everybody has a story and shorts today are more about aspirations than anything else. Most of our followers/patrons are filmmakers, actors, college students and anyone who loves good cinema," sums up Dastur.

I'm here once again, requesting for another banner.:D
By the way, if you're wondering where I make use of all the banners you make me, I place them here. I credited you, of course, on the first post :D
What Border you want: Curved Border
What text you want: Kyrel (But somehow distorted, like the one in your Cloyster signature, and in glowing, plasma like green font)
What Colours you want: Black for the background, greens
What Design you want: Compact (Example 1)
What style you want: The general feel of the banner is Jolteon using radioactive/plasma-like lightning. Black steel for the background perhaps? A few plasma green lightning bolts would be neat too. Maybe incorporate a biohazard symbol.
What Character, or Pokemon you want: Jolteon

It's just moisturizer January 26, 2015 Sampled I honestly noticed no significant change in the skin on my neck or "decollete" after using this product. Any moisturizer would do. It was nothing very special, I didn't think 2
disappointed in product December 29, 2015 Sampled Absorbs quickly but the smell is terrible. Didn't feel or see any difference and wouldn't pay the high price without results. I have since found strivectin neck cream which I love and you will see a difference with. 2
Nothing special. Hate the smell. July 20, 2014 Sampled The smell is absolutely overwhelming. I hated it. The lotion goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly but I didn't notice any difference in my skin. There are other products that do at least as good a job without the smell. 2
Not enough June 21, 2014 Sampled Just like the eye cream I don't feel like I had enough product to really test out this brand. I did like the feel of this and went on nicely though. Too expensive for me . 3
I loved it June 17, 2014 Sampled I could not believe the immediate difference. Like others, I thought how would a neck cream be any different. But it was. Even my husband could notice a difference. 5
Love! June 13, 2014 Purchased Always sampling Dr. Hauschka Regenerating Neck and Décolleté Cream when I see it so I finally got one from Birchbox. Absolutely love it! Would love to try out the entire line.... 5
Too Greasy!! June 10, 2014 Sampled This product was not my favorite. The cream was way too greasy and got onto everything I touched. I was also not too fond of the take out curry smell I had. Sorry :( 2
wish sample was bigger June 1, 2014 Sampled Again the only reason I didn't give the product 5 stars is because I did not like the smell .However it is a good product and deserves at least 4 stars 4
Another great one! May 15, 2014 Another great Dr. H product! I love the natural ingredients and the subtle scent. This cream is very rich, perfect for the neck. 4
sample too small! May 7, 2014 There was not really enough product to see how this made your skin feel - I could not justify buying a full size one without a better feel for how it feel over a few days. 2

Examines the evolving structure of cities and the way that cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas can be designed and developed. Guest speakers present cases, involving current projects, which illustrate the scope and methods of urban design practice. This is a class about how cities, suburbs, and metropolitan areas change. It is an introductory subject for undergraduates that examines both the evolving structure of the American metropolis and the ways that it can be designed and developed. Topics range from grand ideas proposed by single individuals to smaller more incremental processes carried out through collaboration by a variety of contending parties. You will see how cities and suburbs have been changed in the past and how you and others may help change them in the future. (less)

Earlier this summer, GameSpy and several other sites reported that Sega had no plans to release Yakuza 3 stateside, and we didn't see any chance of it happening in the near future. Fast-forward to the near future as 1UP has the scoop that Yakuza 3 is being localized for a U.S. release. No further details were given, but 1UP's source is supposed to be "close to the project." It's possible that an official announcement will be made later this week at the Tokyo Game Show.
Tyler says: I always hear people gushing about the Yakuza series, so why did Sega tease that Yakuza 3 wouldn't come stateside? It could be that it wanted to wait and see if interest was there for such a title, but I'm wondering if it wasn't some aim to actively build interest for the U.S. release? If Sega did feign Yakuza 3's Japanese exclusivity, it worked on me: Though I've never played a Yakuza game, I was hoping Sega'd come around to bringing the latest over here.

Thermal-stress effects on the temperature sensitivity of optical waveguides
JOSA B, Vol. 20, Issue 6, pp. 1326-1333 (2003)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (332 KB)
Temperature sensitivity of optical parameters is an important issue in developing optoelectronic devices. It can dramatically affect the optical performance of interferometric devices, such as arrayed waveguides. Applying thermal stress is a promising method to control temperature effects. In this paper, a general method to study thermal-stress effects on the temperature sensitivity of the effective refractive index is developed. The temperature sensitivities of the effective refractive index of planar waveguides and channel waveguides are obtained theoretically. The thermal-stress effects on the central-wavelength shift are discussed. It is shown that the temperature sensitivity of optical waveguides could be controlled by thermal stresses.

On April 1, 2007 the LHINs assumed full responsibility for planning, funding and integrating health services. This includes developing and negotiating Service Accountability Agreements with providers from all sectors including hospitals, multi sector agencies and the long-term care home sector. Please click on the links below for more information:
The Central East LHIN and Community Care Information Management (CCIM) are working together to support health service providers from across the Central East region to implement a number of standardized tools that will help to provide improved services and measure the improvements in the quality of care in the Central East LHIN. Community Care Information Management (CCIM) plays an integral role in improving the health care system by enhancing access to information for community-based care providers to deliver the right health service, at the right time. For more information on these initiatives and opportunties to participate in work groups, please click here.
The Guidelines for Hospitals Audits and Reviews has been finalized and approved. As is the case with the Guidelines for Community Health Service Providers Audits and Reviews, both sets of guidelines were developed to assist Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) in undertaking a transparent process in identifying and responding effectively and consistently to Health Service Providers (HSPs) issues, such as organizational and financial health or performance.
In addition to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care Guidelines, the Central East LHIN has also developed a Process for Review and Remediation.
The Central East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care negotiate and sign performance agreements. The agreement defines the obligations and responsibilities of both the LHIN and the ministry over a defined period of time. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) and the Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) first began developing these Agreements in Fall 2006. Attached below are links to the current and past Performance and Accountability Agreements.
The Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreement (MLAA) includes an obligation for the Ministry and LHINs to review selected schedules annually and update as necessary within 120 days of the government's budget announcement. These schedules are: Schedule 3 (Local Health System Management); Schedule 9 (Allocations) and Schedule 10 (Local Health System Performance). The agreements, signed in 2007 by the Minister and each LHIN Board Chair, have been revised effective April 1, 2009. You will find a PDF of the signed agreement below.
Ontario's 14 Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) through their individual Ministry-LHIN Performance Agreements (MLPAs) are required to sign Certificates of Compliance as part of the General Performance Obligations. These Certificates of Compliance are completed on a quarterly basis and attest to the LHIN's compliance with applicable legislation; provincial policies; standards; operating manuals; directives; and guidelines available to the LHINs, as required by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC).
The Central East LHIN is committed to being open and transparent with its stakeholders and the general public. To support this commitment, the Central East LHIN's Certificate of Compliance is presented quarterly at the Board of Directors Meeting – Open Sessions and posted below.
LHINs develop Annual Business Plans (ABP), which outlines how they will implement the health care strategies and objectives for its communities. The ABP is aligned with the Ministry's vision and mutually agreed-upon Ministry-LHIN Performance and Accountability Agreements as well as the Integrated Health Service Plan (IHSP).
2013 - 14 Annual Business Plan - submitted March 31, 2013
2012- 13 Annual Business Plan - posted September 27, 2012
2011 - 2012 Annual Business Plan - posted September 1, 2011
2010 - 2011 Annual Business Plan - posted February 25, 2011
2009-2012 Annual Business Plan - posted October 14, 2009
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the Central East LHIN via email at email@example.com.
In 2005, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care established 14 LHINs (local health integration networks) to increase local decision-making with respect to health care and to improve access and equity, system integration and coordination, as well as quality, sustainability and the overall health of the province. LHINs are responsible for managing their local health systems with a focus on planning, funding and integrating local health services to meet the needs of the residents within their LHIN.
As set out in the Ministry-LHIN Accountability Agreements, the Ministry and the LHINs completed an 'effectiveness review' conducted by third-party consultants KPMG. The purpose of the review was to evaluate the efficacy of the transition and devolution of authority from the Ministry to the LHINs and also sought input from provincial associations and a sample of health service providers.

In Bulletproof Diva, Lisa Jones brings the wit and candor of her infamous Village Voice column, "Skin Trade," to a much larger audience. Chock full of the "fierce black girl humor" that has made her column so popular, this provocative collection of essays and observations on race, sex, identity, and the politics of style speaks to a young generation of blacks who were raised in an integrated society and are now waiting for America to deliver on its promises of equality. The thirty-seven short pieces and six long essays in Bulletproof Diva cover a wide range of topics, many of them extremely controversial. Jones moves smoothly from issues of ethnicity in a changing America, challenging viewpoints on African-American and mixed race identity, to "butt theory" and the roller-coaster politics of black hair. Written in a style that is as appealing as it is unapologetic, Bulletproof Diva marks the debut of a genuinely gifted young writer with a distinctive voice and a fresh perspective on the black cultural scene.
"Lisa Jones's writing is so vibrant and dynamic, her words create a kind of fierce music… a fabulous book." – The Boston Globe

Drive a relay from SCART pin 8?
I wish to power on an external device when my DVD player is turned on. An obvious way to try and do this would be to use the 6V signal on pin 8 of the SCART output.
However, a typical relay with 6V coil pulls about 60mA, and even a reed relay pulls about 12mA at 6V. A solid state relay pulls about 15mA. I am led to believe that the current available on the SCART pin 8 would be 5mA at the very most. I did wonder about using an optocoupler (eg. MOC3020), which draws about 10mA at 1.5V, which is 15mW. If the SCART can deliver 3mA at 6V, that would be 18mW, so perhaps that would work. The only other solution I can think of would involve using a transistor to boost the current, but that would need a power supply which kind of defeats the object of only turning on the external power when the DVD starts up. Any suggestions? |

Not sure what you are trying to power but a couple of suggestions.
If you are confident in what you are doing you can use an unused scart pin (isolate it first in the DVD player) to supply power (withing the capabilities of the DVD PSU) to an external device. I did this a few years ago on a Sony TV to supply a headphone amp with power (12 volts DC at up to say 100 ma). You could use a switched rail in the player directly or arrange solid state switching that activates the output only when pin 8 is active. If you want to switch mains then the opto isolated triac is good... I have used these. Why not just load pin 8 with a resistor and LED and see what the drive capability is. If the short circuit current of pin 8 is low then a series resistor may not be needed at all with the LED in the opto. I used an MOC3020 here, Advice for hearing impaired setup on a new television?

Many thanks for your reply.
But thanks to your first suggestion, I now realise that installing the gain stage internally is the elegant solution, so I will concentrate on that for now. |

Knowing what you want to do there are more possibilities
Does the DVD player use opamps in the analogue stages and if so maybe it could be easily modded to give more gain without addiitional opamp stges. Perhaps just a case of altering or adding a resistor. The TV ! It's possible that the TV audio input (scart) has series resistors in series with the audio feed to pad it down. This is something I altered on a Sony 25" TV of ours many years ago. Just a case of dropping the two resistors down a bit.

I don't mind possibly blowing up a £40 DVD player with my tinkering, but no way am I going to fiddle around inside a £800 TV! |

NATA 2012 - Round 1 Animations with the theme, "The Elephant in the Room."
Author Comments
Just a black chick walking around the streets of Finland trying not to get disgusted by the old, bald, stupid, ugly, pale and fat fucks that the FInns are. Music by the almighty Falonefal.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
How in dafuq is this rated E?
Doesn't mean I hated it, just...label better, mmk?
Oh, yeah. It was cool.
Well, zero nudity and/or adult themes. Unless you think kids should not know of the perils of morbid obesity.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
This is the weirdest thing ever. The only reason I'm not giving this a zero is because of the creepy/hot chick walking cycle.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Karri, your creativity never ceases to amaze me and it's a shame that most of the stuff you submit gets such low scores. Now, on with the review...
When it comes to the animation, it's still as solid and smooth as ever. However, the walk cycles in the first two scenes are off: the tits bounce while she's at the crest and drop at the low point. Then again, the woman in question is drawn great unlike those drawn by the Perfect Kirby guys. (Yet again, Richie draws the ugliest women I have seen.) I wouldn't mind seeing hentai with that character sometime. As for the music, Raped by Clowns is a great example of quixotic torture music and fit with the surreal nature of this loop. Finally, the content is one of the better looping cartoons I've seen. The legions of fat people were worthy of a couple chuckles, but you couldn't include your brand of explicitness due to NATA rules. It may not be as funny as Dance of the Manwhore or Baboon Anal Love, but still good none-the-less.
What's good:
-Mostly great art and animation
-Somewhat original
-Sardonically catchy music
-Reasonable filesize
What's not so good:
-Her walk cycle looks off in the first two scenes
-The fact that it's a loop
-Could have been funnier
Overall: Cato, here's a nine and I'll continue to look forward to more of your stuff.

Are soldiers testing night vision contact lenses?
This is a cool thing to me. If you watch any movies with a military theme or any of the discovery type programming centering on military themes you have, seen night vision goggles before. The things clip on to the helmet of the solider and they flip them up or down to control when they need to see in the dark and when normal vision will do. The goggles look to be very bulky and uncomfortable and cut down on peripheral vision too.

The Gladiator's nap of the week
It has been a very messy week for the troops in terms of investment strategy. By Monday afternoon the rather speculative selection of 'up-bets' looked as though they were going to be counted out, as they virtually sank without trace. However, even though the market was telling us that it had made an indecent amount of progress since the end of the formalised hostilities in the Middle East, the Gladiator felt that there was a ton of money waiting in the wings to scoop up any bargains if the market fell away. Also the 'main man' gambled on the fact that Greenspan would calm frayed nerves over the US's economic outlook, when he addressed Congress on Wednesday. So against the troop's better judgment, he held on doggedly until Thursday before selling out the positions. Sirius Satellite Radio bought at $1.42 in £25 per point proved to be a 'dog' from day one and it barked all week, before it was sold at $1.23. Jupiter must have wondered what possessed him to buy this 'wing and a prayer' number. However Computer Associates was the star of the show. It was bought at $19.89 and sold at $21.80 in £15 per point. Providian Financial Services, bought at $8.85 incurred a small loss of £495, when it was binned at $8.52. All in all an overall moderate profit of £1,895 was banked from the week's transactions.

Oklahoma deer hunters no longer need permission from the state wildlife director before killing a white or piebald deer during the deer hunting seasons, reports Newsok.com. Oklahoma lawmakers have repealed that statute.
House Bill 1314 was signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin mid April and is effective immediately. Since 1998, Oklahoma hunters had been required to get permission from the state wildlife director before taking a white or piebald deer. Piebald deer are deer with large white patches.
According to the article, it's been a needless hoop for hunters to jump through because no Oklahoma hunter had ever been denied permission by a state wildlife director to kill a white deer.

By: Daisy Byarugaba in Uganda, with Brandy Campbell | Posted: July 17, 2006
Compassion International President Wess Stafford smiles at a new friend during the dedication of the Ghana/West Africa Compassion office.
In Ghana, March is a month of freedom and celebration as the people of this coastal West African country celebrate the anniversary of their independence from the British. On March 4, 2006, the children of Ghana were given a new reason to celebrate as the Compassion Ghana and Compassion West Africa area offices were dedicated.
Formerly called the Gold Coast because of its wealth of gold and other natural resources, Ghana has a rich history of empires and ancient civilizations paired with a sometimes turbulent political climate. Following a period of political unrest in the 1960s and 1970s, a new constitution was established in 1992, paving the way for a now stable democracy.
The Gold of Ghana
"I remember my friends and I thinking that if we were able to go (to Ghana) we would find gold littered everywhere we went," remembers Stafford. "Well, it took me a while to finally visit Ghana and when I got off my plane yesterday, the first person I met was a beautiful little Ghanaian girl carrying flowers and, in seeing her, I realized that Ghana indeed has a lot of gold on its streets - its children."
Compassion has carefully been building partnerships with local churches in Ghana since 2004, seeking out congregations who already had a vision for the plight of children in the region, as well as educating churches on providing a safe, healthy environment for the Ghana's 1 million children. Months of preparation, training and vision sharing finally culminated in partnerships with 12 churches and 2,000 registered Ghanan children.
"We have so much potential ."
The day of the dedication was a typical hot and humid Ghanaian afternoon, but the heat didn't prevent guests from turning up in their best clothes.The Winneba Youth Choir, clad in white and black uniforms, set the mood for the function, singing hymns with melodious and rich voices. Despite the jubilant celebration, however, the seriousness of the conditions facing Ghanaian children was not lost on the audience.
"The situation of children in Ghana is similar to that over most of the third world," Country Director Jemima Amanor said to the gathering. "Most Ghanaian children are malnourished and out of school. Some parents sell their children to those who end up exploiting them. They are denied their childhood; they fall sick often and die. We have so much potential that is cut short."
Elizabeth Yeboah, representing the Minister of Women and Children's Affairs, described the day as "a time to evaluate the way we treat children. The children are in pain and do not have adequate forums to hear their cry," she added.
Dr. Stafford also described the plight of the child in poverty. "In every country," he said, "children are the great omission in the Great Commission. They don't vote and don't tithe, so we ignore them. We teach them to stay in line, but they are always at the end of the line. When something goes wrong, they pay the price. When there is disease, adults fall sick but children die. When there is hunger, adults go hungry but children starve and die."
March 4 will always be remembered in Ghana, not only as the day that Compassion officially launched its ministry in the country, but also as a day when its citizens were challenged to march forth to build the Kingdom of God through the little ones, the new gold of Ghana.

Got something to talk about? Find the right home and best add-ons for your blog with PC Advisor.
For the mobile blog
To get the ultimate in simplicity, turn to Tumblr, a publishing service designed for tumblelogs. A tumblelog is a type of blog designed for quick hits – short posts, pictures, web links, and videos – rather than long-form text entries. This makes it ideal for posting from a mobile phone.
Enter your email address, a password, and a desired web address (you can later change it to your domain if you want), and you're ready to publish.
When it comes to posting, you'll see buttons for different types of entries, including text, photos, quotes, links, chat transcripts, and videos. Tumblr also imports feeds from various sources, such as Flickr, YouTube, Digg, Del.icio.us, Twitter, Vox, Blogger, and LiveJournal.
In most cases, you can select whether to import content as full entries or as links that go back to the original post. You can also import an RSS feed, and Tumblr will publish it to your blog.
Want to blog from your phone? Tumblr can post entries sent via email – great for quickly uploading camera-phone pictures and short Twitter-style observations. Just send a message to the unique email address that Tumblr assigns you, and your photo or text will show up in a post, with the subject line repurposed as a caption.
Although this isn't a unique feature – most of the aforementioned services let you post from the road – Tumblr does it better than most, and the tumblelog format is perfect for all those short entries you'll be tapping out on your iPhone.

Four Christmases(2008)When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation--and unable to escape--they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened... and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families' choices are not so crazy after all. For more about Four Christmases and the Four Christmases Blu-ray release, see Four Christmases Blu-ray Review published by Kenneth Brown on November 21, 2009 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.5 out of 5. Director: Seth Gordon Writers: Matt Allen, Caleb Wilson Starring: Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, Jon Voight, Jon Favreau » See full cast & crew Four Christmases Blu-ray, Video QualityFour Christmases features a capable 1080p/VC-1 transfer that handles every holiday hue, fireside stocking, and sparkling light in stride. Colors are rich and satisfying, blacks are well-resolved, contrast is strong (albeit slightly inconsistent), and skintones, though a bit bronzed for their own good, are fairly natural and lifelike. Overzealous artificial sharpening frequently spoils the image (as does some intermittent noise reduction), but detail remains decidedly decent throughout. Edges are sharp, textures are adequate, and Witherspoon's freckles and Vaughn's stubble are generally intact. Likewise, minor artifacting occasionally appears in the background of several shots (watch the wood-grained walls at the McVie family home for the most obvious instances), but the majority of scenes boast an otherwise proficient presentation. Banding and aliasing are nowhere to be found, and ringing and crush are kept to a negligible minimum. Only some smearing, softness, and flailing delineation undermine the integrity of the transfer. Ultimately, Warner's encoding efforts won't draw any high praise, but should satisfy anyone who's already primed to enjoy Vaughn and Witherspoon's holiday misadventures. Four Christmases Blu-ray, Audio QualityThose expecting another chatty, front-heavy comedy will be somewhat pleased with Four Christmases' Dolby TrueHD 5.1 surround track. Though the film's many, many, many conversations primarily inhabit the front speakers, a few key scenes -- an early visit to a crowded nightclub, an office Christmas party, a busy airport, Kate's defiant venture into a moon bounce, a botched satellite dish installation, and others among them -- take fuller advantage of the entire soundfield. In these all too brief instances, both the LFE channel and the rear speakers come alive, drawing the listener into the chaos and, presumably, enhancing the hilarity of it all. It helps that directionality is fairly precise (minus a few third act mishaps when Brad leaves Kate at Creighton's house), pans are smooth, and the soundscape is populated with crisp crashes, gasps, and moans. Still, while quieter scenes deliver a series of passable ambient effects, the overall experience remains flat and two-dimensional. Ah well. Warner's faithful TrueHD offering certainly won't be confused for the sonic messiah, but it is a commendable track nonetheless.

Publisher: Dreamspinner Press/Dreamspinner Press | Date published: 07/01/2012 DescriptionWhen Brandon Roland's parents kicked him out for being gay, he turned to prostitution to get by--something that almost cost him his life when he was attacked by strangers. Bran was saved by a vampire named Heath, and during their year together, Bran's life was good--but then Heath sent him packing for reasons unknown.
That was twelve years ago, and Bran's come a long way since then. He has an education, a job as a social worker at a vampire/human youth shelter, friends, and a tattoo he adds to annually to commemorate another year without the love of his life. The trouble with being a very old vampire is that the older you are, the less you feel. Heath is over nine hundred--he was sure he'd never experience emotion again, but he never counted on Bran. When Heath accidentally stumbles back into Bran's life, it changes more than either man thought possible--and then history literally catches up with them and turns their lives inside out. |
