Hey guys I just wanted to get your opinion on something. I just got a 2008 Indigo Blue Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab Shortbed. I really want to get a cover for it for better fuel efficiency and because it will start raining soon and I want the trunk dry. Which one should I get?
The Under-cover Tonneau
The Bak Flip G2 Tonneau
Have any of you had any experiences with any of them? I've heard that the G2 sometimes leaks but I've also heard its great and perfect and 100% all weather proof. Does anybody have any of these on their Tacoma?

The French Dassault Falcon 2000LX, Spherus Aviation Germany and Jet Alliance are returning to Nigeria, on a demonstration tour this January to showcase their new fleets, Cessna Citation, CJ3 and Sovereign Business jets into Nigerian VIP corporate jet market.
Spokesman of the organisations in Nigeria, Cliff Ogbede, said Spherus and Jet Alliance were expanding their world class services to Africa, by organising series of demonstration tours and static displays of various VIP aircraft for the Nigerian market in particular.
Sebastain Kester of Spherus Aviation said that demands for corporate VIP shuttles would continue to increase as businesses grow in Africa. "We are providing affordable fleets that will provide more airplanes with comfort, fuel efficiency and flight desk management as we encourage the Nigerian business community to enjoy the new art of flying," Kester said.
The Cessna Citation, CJ3 and the Cessna Citation Sovereign are made to fit any VIP mission with impressive speed, outstanding short-field performance and comfortable cabins. The mission of the group to Nigeria would be led by Kester as the company scheduled to display the airplanes at Abuja airport.

text: Home Culture Minnesota Muslim Activist Defends His Faith Against Radicalism He says it's his responsibility to "save the religion I love from a small number of extremists." By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: July 11 2011 3:24 PM 0 Abdirizak Bihi (the Washington Post) As part of the Washington Post's "Under Suspicion" series' examination of the lives of American Muslims since the Sept. 11 attacks, Eli Saslow has profiled Abdirizak Bihi, whose story is another example of just how complicated those lives and our perceptions of them can be. The Somali-American man is the founder, director and sole employee of a community-based counterterrorism program in Minneapolis. He has testified at the controversial Capitol Hill hearings on Muslim radicalization, and the FBI and the Justice Department rely on his help during investigations of terrorist threats. Meanwhile, he struggles to gain financial support from the politicians who endorse his efforts, and operates with little funding from an area where at least 25 young men, including his 17-year-old nephew, have disappeared to fight for the militant Somali group al-Shabab in the past three years. Many mosques, elected officials and even law enforcement agencies have hesitated to address the radicalization of a small percentage of U.S. Muslims, because the topic itself is so divisive. The focus on homegrown jihad is considered either the next front in the war on terrorism or an Islamophobic witch hunt sure to create more ill will. Bihi describes himself as an observant Muslim who prays daily and fasts during Ramadan. He said it is his responsibility to "save the religion I love from a very small number of extremists." Officially, Bihi is the director of the Somali Education and Special Advocacy Center, but in truth he is the center, aided only by a Samsung cellphone and a donated desk in the offices of Mo's Building Maintenance. His program is part of an emerging movement that Washington officials refer to as "CVE," or "countering violent extremism." The idea is simple: Inoculate young Muslims against the risks of radicalization by making them feel entrenched and happy in their communities. The execution is much more complex.

Hotel-Online » News » Nobody Asked Me, But...No. 120 Hotel History: Wolcott Hotel (1904); Quote of the Month; My New Book
January 28, 2014 6:01am
By Stanley Turkel, CMHS
1. Hotel History: Wolcott Hotel (1904)*
Although it opened on March 1, 1904, the Wolcott remains one of New York City's best-kept hotel bargain secrets. Centrally located on 31st Street, just 3 blocks down Fifth Avenue from the Empire State Building, the Wolcott was designed by one of the most famous architects in the United States, architect John H. Duncan (1855-1929). He came to prominence in the early 1890s when he designed the Ulysses S. Grant's Tomb and townhouses for some of New York's richest families: Otto H. Kahn, Arthur Lehman, the Goelets and Strausses.
Duncan also designed one of the greatest public monuments in any American city at the turn of the last century: the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument at Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, a memorial to the Union forces in the Civil War. The arch is topped with a traditional bronze quadriga, a horse-drawn chariot with a triumphal female figure, flanked by two winged victories. On two lower pedestals stand the sculptures "Army" and "Navy". The monument is often referred to as Brooklyn's version of the Arc de Triomphe. It was designated a landmark on October 16, 1973.
The Wolcott Hotel was built by a relative outsider, William C. Dewey who was a native of Springfield, Massachusetts. It was reported that, as president of a carpet company, he
was arrested in 1890 for obtaining $900 in goods from a New York vendor without the ability to pay and he spent at least one night in the Ludlow Street jail. Nevertheless, he was able to enter the real estate and hotel development business, which ultimately resulted in the construction of the Wolcott Hotel. After a delayed opening, Dewey leased the hotel to Colonel James H. Breslin (Gilsey House, Manhattan; Brighton Beach Hotel, Brooklyn; Auditorium Hotel, Chicago). By 1905, the American Mortgage Company took back the building and Dewey retired in obscurity. James Breslin's lease was undisturbed and he moved into the hotel when it opened.
Architect John Duncan's bold Beaux-Arts style was evident in his designs for the Wolcott. The Architects' and Builders' Magazine (September 1903) took note of the hotel's "elaborately sculptured (exterior) decoration" and reproduced detailed drawings for ceiling design, window treatment, the neo-Greek vestibule and Louis XVI-style restaurant. Unlike many 100 year-old hotels, the Wolcott's interiors are remarkably intact: mosaic floors, crown moldings, stained glass and ornamental iron.
The Wolcott Hotel brochure at its opening wrote in the sometimes quaint and archaic language of hotel promotion in 1904:
The Wolcott is in no one particular an hotel of extremes.
New-it isn't quite the biggest. Centrally located, but not quite in the center. High prices-enough-far from the highest prices. Well Served, but not over served. Well filled with guests, who come again and again-not overcrowded.
The brochure went on to describe the location, the "house" and restaurant:
The Wolcott is on the South side of West 31st Street, just a step from Fifth Avenue, -near enough to Broadway, but not too near. Midway between the Twenty-third Street shopping district and the Fortieth Street. Within ten minutes easy walk to all the best theaters and the opera house (three or four minutes in a taxi). Directly between the Subway on Fourth Avenue and the Elevated Railway on Sixth. Seven minutes from the Grand Central Station, scarcely more to the 23rd Street Ferries, the Tubes of Lackawanna and Erie. Nearer still to the new Pennsylvania Station. West 31st Street is a quiet street. No crosstown traffic passes through it. Instantly accessible to the day time and night time activity, the Wolcott is far from the roar and turmoil of the city....
There is a bathroom with every suite and with almost every room. Bathrooms, like the bedroom, are open to the free air and sunlight. There are two courts, each bigger than two city lots, broad, brilliant, airy. The rooms are big enough, but not too big. Comfortable, not barny. Most of the windows run from the ceiling to the floor. Plenty of closet room, doors with mirrors that run the full length. Lights comfortably placed by the dressing case, and bed-side tables, as well as in the ceiling.
The pristine sources of food, its preparation and presentation:
The restaurant of the Wolcott is supplied daily with every possible delicacy. Oysters from Cape Cod, full of the salt flavor of the sea. Little chickens that come unplucked from the Jersey farms. Everything at its very best to begin with cooked most simply- beautifully served, piping straight from the ranges with no "by your leave" to the steam box. Coffee that is a delight in colour and savour as well as to the taste.
Rolls that are crisp with delicate country butter, milk and eggs from the very nearby country. Music that accompanies, but does not annoy. While there is no table d' hote, the chef at the Wolcott will be glad to arrange special dinner, for one or more covers, ranging in price from $1.50 per plate, upward. These dinners must be ordered in advance so that a satisfactory menu may be submitted. The Colonial Private Dining Room is just the place for charming luncheons, dinner, or bridge parties.
And the levels of service, cleanliness and pricing:
A valet always at hand to brush your clothes and press them. A ladies' maid deft in the hooking up of delicate gowns. If you like, your trunk will be unpacked when you come, and packed again when you go, with all the care that your servants might give it, and with the skill of more than your own servants' experience. And clean- oh! but the Wolcott is clean. Never a carpet, or rug or piece of upholstery touched by a broom. Every particle of dust drawn by a powerful suction cleaner every day.
You may rub a fresh pocket handkerchief on any piece of woodwork, even on the tops of the simply framed inviting pictures, that do not over-decorate the wall, and never a smudge will show....
A room and a bath at the Wolcott ranges from $3.00 upwards per day. A drawing-room, bedroom and bath from $8.00 up. Maids' room $2.00, Maids' board $1.50 and excellent board it is. Special terms will be given to those who make long stays. The Wolcott is glad for permanent guests. In the restaurant the prices are about the same as in any other good restaurant. As low as they can be to provide the very best of everything, but there are no "extras". Your "check" is always a little less than you expect.
The brochure ends with this charming statement of the Wolcott's philosophy of guest service:
The management treats every guest as a guest. Your comfort is the first consideration. You may telegraph from rooms at our expense. Mention of your train bring a uniformed porter to meet you. He will take charge of your trunks and see that they reach the hotel promptly.
If you have not reserved rooms, bring your luggage checks to the hotel with you. Our porter will then take them in hand, and your trunks will be brought to you more quickly than if they were turned over to the Transportation Company for delivery. There is never any possibility of dispute, because whatever you say is right.
Many conveniences have been provided that will not be found in most hotels. The valet and maid have supplies of the little toilet articles, some one of which is apt to be forgotten: hairpin- a tooth-brush- or a welcome knot of fresh chiffon; a bath-robe or a night dress- spick and span in a sealed envelope. An umbrella for a rainy day. Fresh brushes and combs- indeed everything, that the difficulties of one guest suggest, has been provided, against the possibility of a like difficulty again. A telephone in every room that carries your instruction to the office and connects with every other telephone everywhere.
The 1915 census listed the employees who lived-in at the Wolcott: two cooks, eleven maids, two glass maids, a pantry girl, head cleaner and eleven cleaning women. The Corning Glassware Company used the Wolcott Hotel's kitchen in 1908 to test its new ovenware. It turns out that Corning salesman William Thompson's father-in-law was the Wolcott's general manager at that time.
Surprisingly, not much has changed on the street floor in the past 110 years. An original plan shows the lobby in its present location with the office on the right side and the lobby extending to the rear under a musician's gallery (which still survives) into the restaurant at the rear. The ground floor had a ladies reception room and a café with a leaded glass ceiling at the front and a smoking room, children's dining room and Palm Room on the sides. The Louis XVI-style lobby had tall French mirrors, mahogany chairs upholstered in green velvet with the hotel's crest embroidered in gold. The Palm Room's ceiling has stained glass over a trellis of vines "giving the effect of being open to the sky." The Wall Street Journal reported (January 16, 2014) that the Wolcott Hotel ballroom is to be restored to its former glory.
Architectural historian Christopher Gray in his Streetscapes column in the New York Times (December 1993) wrote about the Wolcott:
Architects' and Builders' Magazine, in an extensive article about the Wolcott published in September 1903, described in the exterior as "Modern French", noted the hotel's "elaborately sculptured decoration". The Wolcott boasted its own laundry, power plant, ice making machines and telephone systems.
The interior designs of most hotels of this size was perfunctory, often simply a selection of catalogue items casually brought together. But there is every indication that the interior decoration of the Wolcott was carefully planned and executed....
Duncan worked in a big, bold style, favoring super-scaled Beaux-Arts type ornament to produce a startling, even shocking effect of sophistication and luxe that was his signature. The Wolcott's essential Beaux-Arts style broke no new ground: rather it was the audacious, blocky precision of its ornament, combining the rigorous discipline of French neo-Classicism with the exuberant display of the contemporary school of the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts.
On March 15, 2004, Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York, issued the following Proclamation which recognized the Wolcott on its 100th birthday:
Whereas: On March 1, 1904 when lower Midtown was at the pinnacle of elegance and culture, the Hotel Wolcott opened on 31st Street between Broadway and Fifth Avenue. It was and has remained a reflection of the grandeur of old New York with its marble staircase, leaded chandeliers and ornate molding providing a haven from today's fast-paced world. Today we celebrate the anniversary of this historic building which for 100 years has offered comfortable accommodations in an atmosphere reminiscent of a time when messages were sent by telegram and travelers packed trunks instead of suitcases.
Whereas: Rooms may have increased in price from the 1904 rate of $3 a day, but the Hotel Wolcott still prides itself on providing luxury at an affordable cost making it possible for everyone from college students to business people to get a taste of turn-of-the-century life. Designed by John H. Duncan, its architecture is bold and elaborate making it clear that it is not merely a place to sleep after a day in the city, but an attraction in its own right. Its interior brings together elements of various cultures: French mirrors coexist with Portuguese tiles and a neo-Greek vestibule, in a spirit befitting a quintessential New York hotel.
Whereas: Sitting in the Hotel Wolcott, we feel that we have not only put aside our everyday lives, but also that we have slipped out of our time amid such vestiges as the original ballroom and the musician's gallery. It is not hard to imagine guests from the hotel's past, such as Edith Wharton or Buddy Holly stepping into the lobby. And once we walk outside, making our way to the Empire State building on Rockefeller Center or Grand Central Station, we realize that the grandeur of the Hotel Wolcott still befits the New York of today.
Now therefore, I, Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor of the City of New York, in recognition of the contributions of the Hotel Wolcott to preserving the essence of old New York, do hereby proclaim March 1st, 2004 in the city of New York as: "Hotel Wolcott Day"
On December 20, 2011 the Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the Hotel Wolcott as a Landmark because of its "special character and special historical and aesthetic interest and value as part of the development, heritage and cultural characteristics of New York City."

2. Quote of the Month
"In the mind of some venerable ladies and gentlemen, the sale of the Plaza Hotel in New York several years ago could only be associated with the fall of the Bastille, the decapitation of Charles the First, and the fourth inaugural of Roosevelt. It was regarded as a disaster comparable with the San Francisco earthquake or the Johnstown flood."
Thomas Dabney
"The Man Who Bought The Waldorf: The Life of Conrad N. Hilton"
3. My New Book
My new book, "Built To Last: 100+ Year-Old Hotels East of the Mississippi" is available now. It is a paperback which tells the stories of 86 historic hotels (50 rooms or more) and each is illustrated with an antique postcard. It has a foreword, preface, introduction, bibliography and index. It has been accepted by the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute for promotion, distribution and sale.
"Stanley Turkel is one of the best writers I know at capturing our history the "old" and infusing it with new life and relevance. In his two previous books on classic American hotels and the legends of the hotel business, Stanley brought to vivid life many characters and places that contributed to the greatness of the lodging industry. Now, in this latest book, he adds a wonderful chapter to the rich history we share."

Blues-Blackhawks Preview
If not for a last-minute goal by the St. Louis Blues, the Chicago Blackhawks might be working on another season-opening streak without a regulation loss.
The Blackhawks will seek to avenge last week's bitter defeat to the Blues as the Central Division teams meet again Thursday night in Chicago.
The Blackhawks shattered an NHL record by going 24 games without losing in regulation to open last season en route to winning the Stanley Cup, but their streak ended at just two games this season with a 3-2 defeat in St. Louis last Wednesday.
Chicago appeared poised to earn at least one point from that game until Alexander Steen's slap shot slipped past Corey Crawford with 21.1 seconds remaining on a 3-on-1 rush.
"You've got to get that game to overtime," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "You take one (point) maybe two. You don't get none. That's unacceptable. ... There was not a lot of mistakes. We played a good game. But you can't make a mistake like that."
The Blackhawks (4-1-1) have since won three in a row and earned a 3-2 shootout victory in Carolina on Tuesday. Two days after his second child was born, Patrick Sharp tallied his 200th career goal in the first period and was the only player to score in the shootout.
"The team got the win and we're moving forward to a big game on Thursday," Sharp said.
Sharp helped Chicago come away with two points after it blew a two-goal lead in the third period. The last five games for the Blackhawks have been decided by one goal.
"We're not complaining. We could have had points in every game. If we didn't have that game in St. Louis, we'd probably be pretty happy," Quenneville said.
Chicago's past four home matchups with the Blues also have all been one-goal games, including three shootouts. The Blackhawks had won eight straight against St. Louis at the United Center before being handed a 4-3 shootout loss in the most recent one April 4.
The Blues (4-1-0) had a chance to head into Chicago with a season-opening win streak of its own but suffered its first loss Tuesday, 6-2 to San Jose. They also might have a distraction with Maxim Lapierre likely facing a lengthy suspension after driving Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle into the boards from behind.
Boyle was taken away on a stretcher, and Lapierre was given a game misconduct during a penalty-filled opening period. The NHL offered the Blues forward the chance for an in-person hearing, signaling the possibility of a penalty of at least six games.
"When you don't hold your competitive discipline and composure, things can unravel," coach Ken Hitchcock said after his team gave up three power-play goals. "They came in and played the right way. We didn't, and we paid for it."
David Backes went without a point after scoring four goals in the first four games. The St. Louis captain has two goals and two assists in the last four meetings with Chicago as the Blues have gone 3-1-0.
Chicago captain Jonathan Toews has nine goals and seven assists in his last 12 games against St. Louis, including one of each last week.

Minor stomach complaints are typical among young children. It's important to learn how to manage them at home so you can avoid emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and prolonged discomfort.
One of the most common symptoms of tummy troubles is diarrhea — watery stools that are different in appearance and frequency than those your
has had before. (This is an important detail, since many young
s, especially breastfed babies, normally have thin or watery stools.) Most infectious diarrheas are caused by viruses that tend to be more common in the summer but can come along anytime. There is no cure except time for these infections, which usually last several days.
The key is to give your
plenty of fluids, even if he doesn't have much of an appetite or seem very thirsty. Continue to feed him if his diarrhea is mild. Give him bland foods that contain pectin, a fiber, in small portions throughout the day. Try applesauce, rice, bananas, and mashed potatoes. If you're formula feeding, add an extra ounce or two of water to the mix, diluting the formula slightly. Avoid teas, which don't have the necessary salts, as well as fruit juices — they can actually increase fluid loss because of their high salt content.
If your baby's stools are particularly frequent and watery (hourly, for example, and soaking through the
), you may need to give him 1 to 2 ounces of a commercial electrolyte solution every hour or two for a day before going back to his regular feeding pattern. If his diarrhea isn't getting better, check in with his health care provider. Whatever you do,
give your
any diarrhea medicine without very explicit directions from an experienced health care provider. These treatments can cause serious bowel stoppage and sedation.
Diarrhea almost always creates skin irritation in the
area. Change your
frequently and apply petroleum jelly to the area — or use a
with petroleum embedded in the lining — to protect his skin from the burning properties of fast-running stools. When he's asleep, take his
off so his tender skin can get some air.
When to Call
It's hard to know when to contact the health care provider, but if your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms, call his provider immediately:
A dry mouth, lack of tears, dark urine, or acting very sick — all are signs of dehydration
Stool containing pus or blood or that is black or persistently green
Vomiting that accompanies diarrhea, lasting for more than eight hours
High fever or serious abdominal pain that accompanies diarrhea
Get more information on
handling diarrhea, vomiting, and signs of illness.

Surface pattern designer Ashley Thomas wrote to me last month (I know, I'm a little behind on my email) to tell me about her designs so I vowed to myself that today would be the day that I would share them on decor8. Ashley thank you for your patience with me! :)
Ashley is a freelance designer and illustrator based in England and her work is both feminine and edgy, a combination of hip city and a day in the country wearing a frilly dress. Her work reminds me of a lot of illustrative, graphic styles coming out of Berlin right now. I was quite surprised when I learned that Ashley is in the UK as upon first glance I would have guessed Berlin without question.
I am completely smitten by her wallpaper and pillows… lovely with a capital LOVE! I want Larry and Joey wallpaper in my entryway! :)
(images from ashley thomas)
Working from home here in Germany has been a real nice experience since back in New Hampshire I live in the country and do not have easy access to a city there. Here I live in the city so I can take quick breaks throughout the day (without the hassle of a car) to grab tea with friends, walk through the forest (2 blocks from my house, it's about 10x the size of Central Park), or go find inspiration by roaming a museum or visiting a small shop. A few minutes ago I needed a break, I was feeling sort of crabby and instead of giving into the bad mood I decided to shut off my laptop and visit a new design/kids store one block away. I thought that maybe this new store was feeling the same way because her shop had its grand opening today but the weather is gray and a bit draining. I imagined that maybe this shop owner, a lady I'd never met before today by the way, was sitting in her shop waiting to meet those in our little neighborhood here. I thought maybe this lady was alone and wondering if anyone would support her shop today. Then I imagined how I would feel if in her shoes. That thought motivated me to get out of my house and go welcome her to our hood. I live here now, I should treat this as my home and be a good neighbor. And not to sound like Little Miss Goody Two Shoes, but I remember my mom always taught me that when I'm in a bad mood the best thing to do is imagine someone else out there who may also be feeling bad or lonely and actively seek them out and do something kind for them.
When I walked in to Lillehus (located at De Ha?n Platz 10 in Hannover List), the owner Susan was sitting at a little desk writing (seated as I imagined! too funny!) and I was the only customer so immediately I introduced myself (in English) and she started speaking to me in English (always a treat!) and soon we were chatting and laughing and having a really nice time. She thanked me many times for coming in and seeing her, she said it was a wonderful welcome to the neighborhood.
I think I can say that mom is always right because once again, her advice taught to me as a child worked. And it worked in another way too…
See this light…
It was designed by Hannover-based textile artist Orike Muth. She is someone I really look up to, I think her aesthetic is gorgeous and so original, she screenprints by hand all of the papers that she uses for her lamps and lampions, and all of the textiles she incorporates into her potholders, pillows, etc. I've been looking for a table lamp from her for the entire 8 weeks that I've been here and could not find the one that I was looking for. I saw the perfect light on her website but she sold out and she is currently working on her new line so there was a good chance that I would not find one before I leave here in December.
The lamp I spotted on Orike's website… I think I will add some trim to the bottom of mine with beads to dress it up a little.
When I walked into Lillehus today and saw THE light sitting on a table I nearly passed out. It was perfect! It was what I'd been roaming this city for, one design shop after another, hoping to find and never could find. And now it was sitting before me on a pretty white table. Not only did I buy it but Susan (the store owner) took 20% off of the price as a grand opening day present to her customers. Just another way that doing good to others always results in something good – not always a material object, often just a good feeling — but today I received both a happy mood and a pretty light. Not only am I back to myself again, but I met a nice small business owner and found the lamp I've been desiring for quite awhile. What you put out into the world comes back to you. Always. Don't you believe that too?
As corny as it sounds, whenever I look at this lamp I will remember today and the happy memories along with it. And please, if you live in or around Hannover pay Susan at Lillehus a visit. She is so, so sweet and a bonus for expats is that she speaks great English. The shop is mostly for kids; she stocks lots of Maileg products from Denmark (my mushroom is above on my kitchen cabinet only 5,- Euros each!) and cute stuff from a few indie designers in Berlin. She is soon to expand into clothing for women and cute rain boots too.

Militant farmers slam DAR for eschewing collective land ownership
MANILA, Philippines—The Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas on Monday said that "the ongoing deceptive raffle draw instigated by President Aquino's DAR [Department of Agrarian Reform] in Hacienda Luisita is all for show" in time for President Aquino's State of the Nation Address (Sona) and forms part of a grand scheme by the Cojuangcos to perpetuate control over the lands."
On Thursday, five days before Aquino's Sona, the DAR raffled off farm lots to farmer beneficiaries in Barangay (village) Cutcut inside Hacienda Luisita using a "tambiolo" (raffle drum).
"Aquino's DAR intentionally ignored the farmworkers' demand for collective ownership because this could hinder the re-concentration of lands to the Cojuangcos. Parceling the hacienda into individual and small lots could divide the ranks and unity of the farmworkers since they are easier to grab," KMP secretary general Antonio Flores.
"Parceling out the whole hacienda into small lots is not equivalent to breaking land monopoly. The DAR only preserved the backward, disorganized and small-scale production that is in favor of the Cojuangcos," he added.

They didn't get it in one take. Did you notice the number of busted TVs sitting on the sidelines, or the fact that the were already covered in paint at the start?
As for this being the greatest video ever, I disagree.

Home » Basketball NewsIBCA SHOWCASEJuly 20, 2012 INDIANA SPORTS PAGEA few quick thoughts from the IBCA/IHSAA Underclass Showcase on Thursday night at Ben Davis: * There were a lot of top players missing from the event this year due to tournaments elsewhere. Trey Lyles, Trevon Bluiett and others were playing at the Peach Jam in South Carolina, Alex Etherington, Blake Simmons and others in Orlando, etc. There were probably more players missing than I can remember at this event in recent years. That is mostly to do with the date of the event, which now falls on the second day of the second five-day evaluation period in July and many college coaches are out on the road watching the national events. I wonder if moving the Top 100 to April – with a couple of evaluation periods now open again that month – would be a possibility to boost attendance. http://blogs.indystar.com/recruitingcentral/2012/07/19/a-few-thoughts-from-ibca-top-100-showcase/

3Go to the dealership to buy your car with no haggle
CXL Sedan (3.9L V6 FFV 4-speed Automatic)
What do you mean had you known what the car would look like?? Didn't you see it before you bought it? Even if you ordered the car this model has been out since 2006 so you have surely seen them in person. I completely agree with you that the Lucerne looks more like a Toyota than a Buick but if you don't care for that, then why did you buy the car? I had a 1999 Park Avenue and I traded it for one of the last 2005 models with 16K miles in 2008 because I don't care for the Lucerne. I will probably trade my Park Avenue for an Enclave because I still don't like the Lucerne and I like the LaCrosse even less. It is a shame Buick no longer makes a car for those of us who appreciate a traditional large American car. Sadly few still do.

Do We Need Metal Detectors In Movie Theaters?By Mack Rawden 2014-01-14 20:41:21 comments
About a year and a half ago, twelve people were shot to death and countless more were injured during a midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises. The shooter had a score to settle with the larger world and tragically decided to use that particular theater in Aurora, Colorado as his platform. Lawsuits and a whole lot of sadness followed, as well as a plenty of conversations about instituting security protocols.
Earlier, a man in Florida was shot to death at a screening of Lone Survivor. The victim apparently was texting his daughter before the movie began, and the gunman decided it was a capital offense. Then, for good measure, he shot the texters wife too because apparently, being associated with a texter is also a capital offense. Thankfully, doctors expect her to make a full recovery from her injuries, but even so, shes now left to pick up the pieces and explain to her children that their father is never coming home. Thats two high profile shootings in less than two years. Add those tragedies to the fights and heated arguments that occasionally take place in theaters and it paints a pretty ugly picture. In the coming days and weeks, the calls for metal detectors and security guards will likely ring louder and louder. Its easy to see why too. Its only natural to call into question our own safety when someone dies during an activity we frequently take part in, and its only natural to want a sense of peace and comfort inside a place we take our families. But do we really need metal detectors? Do we really need security guards making the rounds and poking their heads into screenings every few minutes? Lets take a step back and look at the facts. The incidents Ive described above are far from the only flagrant examples of movie theater-related violence. A man got shot for talking during Benjamin Button back in 2008. There was a horrifying gang fight at a drive-in back in the late 1970s that led to one death. During the early 90s, there were several stabbings and shootings in theater parking lots, one of which was fatal. I could go on and on for a few more paragraphs, but to generalize, theres been, on average, a serious issue of violence or two in a theater in the United States a year for the last forty years or so. Thats enough to turn your stomach, but depressingly, those figures are actually lower or on par with those for most other places people gather in. Take professional sports stadiums as an example. At least once a season, a rival fan is beaten for no other reason than having the nerve to wear another teams uniform. How about schools? I think were all well aware of the massacres that have occurred inside places of learning. Sadly, even houses of worship arent off limits when it comes to random violence. And the places youd expect violence -- like bars? Those figures are downright scary. The truth is theres danger everywhere, and theres really no more reason to fortify a theater as there is a school park or a bus stop. The world is a dangerous place, and we cant protect every inch of it from the crazies. Would a metal detector inside the theater have saved the texters life? Yes, it probably would have. But would it have prevented the shooter from killing someone else at some point in time? Thats a complicated question but probably not. The type of person willing to pull a gun on someone for texting is the typically the type of person who would pull a gun on someone else for a seemingly minor offense. If so, wasn't the theater just the random place these people's anger happened to boil over? If we collectively feel we need metal detectors inside movie theaters than we sure as hell need them inside schools. And if we need them inside schools, we need them inside restaurants and grocery stores and malls. And if we have metal detectors everywhere, what kind of life is that? The chances of a United States citizen being randomly murdered are very, very small, unless theyre engaging in a high risk activity. And even though there was just a high profile shooting, going to the movies is not a high risk activity, nor will it ever be. Theres only so much time, energy and effort we, as a society, can put into preventative safety measures. Outfitting every movie theater in America with metal detectors would cost tens of millions of dollars. Outfitting every movie theater with security guards would cost even more. Maybe someday it will happen, but for now, I would rather money be spent to increase security in inner cities and other locations that have real violence problems, not the occasional high profile homicide. What do you think? Should we have metal detectors and/ or security guards in movie theaters? Let us know your thoughts by voting in the poll below

Very well said . Your my role model as a self employed welder.I believe that you are sorta missing the point
Basically if he doesn't charge enuff to cover his overhead he won't have enuff money to cover the bills.
I started out at 50 an hr many years ago and have been getting $100 for at least 4 now on aluminum.
When it's busy, if people insist I weld on their steel, then I charge the same money, because I could have been welding someone else's aluminum stuff.
I doesn't make a whole lotta difference to me these days whether I am watching water draining out of your pontoon or manuevering your boat around or actually welding or even figuring up your bill I am gonna charge you $100 an hr.
You have to establish value.
There are a few, what I call "Jack Leg" welders here that are undercutting my prices because they have a bleading heart for the marina owners bs (when they charge per hr more than me) and they will drain water for 2 hrs and then weld for a couple more and charge $75! (total cost) They come and go all the time. When I get a chance, I like to go and check out the quality of their work, and it usually sucks. (no value there)
In my case you are paying me for the off season and not so much the overhead. I realize if I run out of money before the next season starts then I must raise my prices accordingly.
Kinda funny eh? I charge according to my lifestyle and all my competition (that survives) charges according to me!! This is sick, but it is the hard core truth at our lake.
By the way if you charge twice as much... you only need to work half as much. (and you only need 1/2 the customers and only generate 1/2 the consumables too)
But as I said before you have to establish value.

Seeds Sowed
Hey there BB. That would not surprise Me at all. I get tempted to do something like that, then I have to tell my self NO that is not right. People has to see that every thing they do and say are seeds sowed. The big question is what do they want to harvest in the future. What is happening to day is from the seeds sowed in the past. Some take longer than others to come to harvest.. What ever happen about running a business on the principals of lets say, Philippians 2:4 ? I know some may not believe and that is your option, but beliving the Word or not, don't change the Word, but it will change your life and how you see things..

Keep it honest and fair...Karma is a ***** to be reckoned with.
I have a 2 hr. min. charge from the time I leave my shop untill I get back.
Based on $ 80.00 Hr.
I had a guy call me yesterday that had an aluminum engine block that needed 2 mounts welded back on that got broke off in an accident.
He wanted me to drive out with my tig set up and weld it portable.
When He said it was only worth $ 80.00 to him I politely referred him to my competition.

Yes it's funny and sad/dumb at the same time. I have had people drag things to me that was no easy task just to save the $15.00 mobile unit charge. Go figure.
PW. That's the only thing you can do refer them to the phone book.that's if you don't know some one by name.

I find that the auto repair welding is the absolute pit of welding profitwise.

Gallery: BIG's Blåvand Bunker Museum Preserves Denmark's WWII History
A Diagram of the different apparatuses and parts of the museum. The guts and bones of the building.
BIG's design sheds new light on Denmark's war history, and it does so by balancing practical and playful forms. The bunker's dark and austere energy is balanced by the museum's light, airy and modern features. The resulting landscape features a mix of old and new forms, as natural and unnatural features dot the surrounding landscape of the museum. Heavy concrete and metal is set next to light-toned steel and glass, creating a provocative sensory experience.

1) British botanical gardens in the 1980s represent the latest stage in their long history dating from the Middle Ages. Origins lie in different types of institution:religious; academic;economic; amateur; scientific; and municipal. This diversity explains the variety of modern institutions involved with gardens, which may be recognized in four categories: state; university; local authority; and private societies. (2) The relationship of the gardens to the community is central to this study. Emphasis is placed on public views of them. (A small sample survey was conducted to obtain the ideas of the public about their functions.)(3) A questionnaire was sent to relevant gardens, enquiring about possible international relationships based on European twinning schemes.(4) Many influences are seen to contribute to the substantial changes evident in the activities of British botanical gardens today. New developments are considered, e.g. increased leisure and consequent need for recreation activities; transport facilities; influence of the mass media, especially television; conservation schemes; and current financial stringency. Some scientific advances (e.g. micropropagation) and technical progress (e.g. labour-saving machinery) are mentioned. (5) Six main functions of the gardens are identified and considered in detail: teaching and research; economic botany; horticulture; amenity; public in.iormation arid education services, public recreation facilities; and conservation. The functions are reviewed in relation to overlap with those of other modern institutions (e.g. research stations), and other types of garden. (6) Sheffield Botanical Gardens - seen in their historical context - provide a good example of change affecting a nineteenth-century institution adapted to the 1980s. The Gardens' importance to the local community is assessed from informal enquiries. (7) A bibliography of non-specialized material is included. Most chapters contain a literature section with notes on important published material. (8) Findings include: the contribution, uniquely made by academic botanical gardens, to teaching and research; the importance in all the gardens of public information and education services and recreation facilities; the significance of conservation activities within a national and international framework.

Prohibition on Taking a Security Interest in Marital Residence to Secure Legal Fee in Equitable Distribution Case
Opinion rules that a lawyer may not initiate foreclosure on a deed of trust on a client's property while still representing the client.
Inquiry #1:
Lawyer represents Client in a domestic case. In exchange for Lawyer's services, Client executed a promissory note, which was secured by a deed of trust on property that is not involved in the domestic action. Lawyer sent Client a "Notice of Demand" regarding payment on the note. Soon thereafter, Lawyer initiated foreclosure proceedings in an effort to collect on the deed of trust. Lawyer continues to represent Client in the domestic case.
May Lawyer initiate foreclosure proceedings against Client while continuing to represent Client ?
Opinion #1:
No. Although Lawyer could acquire a deed of trust on the property if he complied with Rule 1.8(a), enforcing the security interest while currently representing the grantor of the interest, even in an unrelated matter, creates a conflict of interest in violation of Rule 1.7(a)(2). Moreover, Rule 8.4(g) provides that it is professional misconduct for a lawyer intentionally to prejudice or damage his or her client during the course of the professional relationship, except as may be required by Rule 3.3. Lawyer should not initiate foreclosure proceedings against Client until the representation is concluded.
As a matter of procedure, comment [16] to Rule 1.8 provides that, prior to initiating a foreclosure on property subject to a lien securing a legal fee, a lawyer must notify a client of the right to require the lawyer to participate in the State Bar's mandatory fee dispute resolution program.

Can Robots Really Teach Us About Altruism?
Swiss researchers use real and simulated robots to learn about on an enduring mystery of evolutionary biology.
Miniature robots are helping to solve a longstanding biological puzzle–that of altruism.
Why, from a evolutionary biological standpoint, does altruism exist? By a cold Darwinian logic, it shouldn't: it's survival of the fittest out there, and how are you going to survive (and thereby pass on your genes) if you keep helping others before yourself?
In the early 1960's, a scientist named W.D. Hamilton suggested a solution to the riddle, in a paper called "The genetical evolution of social behaviour." Perhaps it made sense to be altruistic, even from a Darwinian standpoint, with kin who shared a certain amount of genetic material with you. So long as the relationship was close enough, it made evolutionary sense to take one for the team–provided that your teammate was passing along a certain amount of genetic material identical to yours. He even came up with a mathematical equation to describe under what situations altruism was likely to evolve. "Kin selection theory," the idea is called.
The theory was–and has remained–contentious. The problem is that theories about evolutionary behavior are often hard to test, limited by one small matter: the human lifespan. You can't exactly hang around for hundreds of generations to see what works, and what doesn't. You also can't fine-tune the variables of kinship Hamilton identified, in a living, breathing ecosystem. You can't play God with nature.
But you can play God with robots. The idea first came to Laurent Keller of the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, according to ScienceNow, to use robots and computers to set up a sort of virtual ecosystem and test whether Hamilton's theory held. He teamed up with two roboticists at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale of Lausanne, Markus Waibel and Dario Floreano, and the three set about designing an experiment.
The team built tiny, simple robots, just a few centimeters tall, made of wheels for mobility and a basic sensory system equipped with a camera. Moving around an arena, they would seek out "food"–small discs scattered by the researchers. To lend a biological flavor to the arena, the team programmed each robot with stream of ones and zeroes that acted as a sort of digital genome.
The researchers found it most practical to then proceed with computerized simulations of the behavior of the actual, physical robots. (They periodically compared the simulated robots' behavior with that of the physical robots; the comparisons checked out, Floreano told ScienceNow.) The team then introduced a new rule: robots were allowed to share their food with one another, to help ensure that one of their robo-brethren survived to the next generation in lean times. Running the virtual robots through hundreds of generations, they discovered something remarkable: the robots behaved just as Hamilton had predicted species would. Altruism essentially "evolved" among the robots–and when the robots had their digital genome coded to make them closer kin, they evolved altruism all the more rapidly.
The resulting study, "A Quantitative Test of Hamilton's Rule for the Evolution of Altruism" was recently published in PLoS Biology. The YouTube video below from EPFL further illustrates the experiment.
Some researchers are skeptical however. ScienceNow quotes Harvard's Martin Nowak as saying the study "tells us nothing about whether Hamilton's rule makes a correct prediction for actual biological systems." (Nowak, a biologist, has a horse in this race: he has written in opposition to Hamilton's rule). Others are much more sanguine. Either way, it's a novel application of robots and computer simulations to test a longstanding, hotly debated biological theory.

If you live in Toluca Lake or the surrounding area in CA, then you have picked the perfect site to find a holistic veterinarian. Your pet's health and well being is very important to us and we will take every step to give your pet the best possible care.
At Limehouse Veterinary Clinic of Holistic Medicine, we offer acupuncture by veterinarians certified in veterinary acupuncture by the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS), homeopathy, Chinese and Western herbal therapy, musculoskeletal manipulation (our doctors have been trained by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association), and nutritional counseling, as well as conventional veterinary care.
Because our doctors and staff are trained in both holistic and Western allopathic medicine, we are able to integrate these treatment methods as dictated by the needs of each animal, providing truly individualized treatment for each of our patients.
We have a number of resources for you to learn about how to take better care of your pets. Browse around and look at our articles and pet videos. The best veterinary care for animals is ongoing nutrition and problem prevention. If you want to ask a question call 818-761-0787 or email us and we'll promptly get back to you. Our Toluca Lake clinic is very easy to get to, and you can find directions on our Contact Us page. You can also subscribe to our newsletter which is created especially for Toluca Lake pet owners. In between your veterinary visits, your pet will benefit from you reading these free informative articles.
At Limehouse Veterinary Clinic of Holistic Medicine, we treat your pets like the valued family members they are.
