Winnie the Pooh .... Tea time
There are two differences between this cake and Pooh Picnic cake posted earlier :
- Bottom cake is 9" (as opposed to previous Pooh Picnic cake, 8" cake) and top cake is 6" round. I prefer 9" + 6" combination (instead of 8" + 6").
- The letters for the plaques also done differently.
Happy Birthday to Tabitha. Hope you have great celebration!

Xavier's mom had communicated with me sometime ago for a Pooh theme cake to celebrate Xavier's birthday today. She is such a sweet lady and let me decide on the design. This is the cake I made (bottom and top cakes were fully covered with sugar paste), hope Xavier & family and guests like this cake. Happy 1st birthday Xavier.

why not,if its used its used, gotta check those things when looking it over.though easily overlooked,theres many things wrong with about every car on the road including some new ones
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Don't cars have to be up to safety code before a dealership sells it to you?
tenspeed answered 2 years ago
It all depends on the laws where you bought the car. Have you ever heard the term "Caveat emptor"? If you believe that it is illegal, notify your police department.
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Well I live in Southern California, I know that Cvc 27314b says that no dealer should sell or offer to sell vehicle, unless it it equipped with seat belts for each seating position. So if my seat belt is broken then my vehicle is not equipped for each seating position, does that make sense?? I just need advice
tenspeed answered 2 years ago
Go back to your dealer. Have them fix the seat belt. If they don't, report them to the DMV or who ever issues their dealer license. --- This is a international site that gets questions from around the world.
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Well the dealership I went to was OC auto exchange and they won't fix the belt till my warranty starts in 90day. But just want to know if they can sell a car that's not up to safety standards
Racer_X answered 2 years ago
I would be inclined to call a lawyer about this. You might just have a slam dunk case here and walk away with some $$. You can get a free consultation over the phone with 99% of lawyers, by the way. Good luck with your car!
voltagefuel answered 2 years ago
It's a requirement for passing the safety inspection in order to sell the car, and one of the things that must get checked off before you drive it off the lot. This dealer could get their inspection license revoked for doing this. You have been exposed to the possibility of death. If they are trying to avoid their responsibility and then plan on charging the warranty company, you may want to call the warranty company too and tell them what they are planning on doing. The dealership should be avoid, and I'd recommend you calling the BBB today.
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Voltagefuel, they told me they won't fix anything until my warranty kicks in. So your right. What is the bbb? Or do I just call the warranty company and let them know? Well they have sold me a complete lemon cause my transmission blew and sold me the car with four lugnuts missing from my tires
Racer_X answered 2 years ago
You REALLY need to" kick it up a notch" in terms of dealing with this situation. The State of California has clearly defined Lemon Laws that cover New & Used Cars (many states ONLY cover New Cars). I can't stress strongly enough that you need to contact a Lawyer as you were the VICTIM of Auto Dealer Fraud! You can and should sue the HELL out of this Dealer, especially since #1 They sold it to you in the first place and #2 They refused to fix it until your warranty kicks in. This is a VERY serious matter and something that can cause you to be injured or worse. You're in a unique situation, where you could get a very sizable out-of-court settlement...and maybe you could be driving a Porsche instead of a Nissan...LOL! Here's some insight in CA Lemon Laws, if you'd like to take a look: http://dmvanswers.com/questions/2105/What-is-the-CA-lemon- law
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Racer_x wow thank you so much, your a lot of help. I hate how car dealerships think they can take advantage of us women because they think we don't know anything. But I do want to educate myself so that this wont happen again. But yes I will sue the living shit out if this horrible dealership and get the car that I deserve and paid for. I truly thank you for your help and deeply appreciate it. I will check and see if my broken car apples to the lemon law. And I will keep all of you guys updated <3 thank you so much
Livbabyy answered 2 years ago
Update on my car, I called the dealership and they are gonna send me the safety inspection record, then the guy said that he knows someone at the Nissan dealership that will says it under warranty and fix it, so he pretty much said that he will commit warranty fraud. So he ends up calling me back saying that he can't use the guy at the Nissan dealership. So I called the warranty company and they said I needed an computer print receipt out of an oil change that I had done. I went an got an oil change but my mechanic does written out receipt. I can't get another computer oil change because my cars transmission blew and I would have to tow it to get an oil change and it will show that the car is broken so my warranty still work. So I pretty much paid 1200$ for warranty I can't use. I've tried to contact a lemon lawyer but I haven't gotten any responses from anyone. I'm just gonna have to pay for the problems on my car cause I don't know what else to do

Pitt's Steven Adams going pro, Zeigler to transfer |
Written by Admin |
Tuesday, 02 April 2013 15:42 |
PITTSBURGH (AP) - It's one and done for Pittsburgh center Steven Adams. The 7-foot freshman from New Zealand says it's in his ``best interest'' to enter the NBA Draft rather than return for his sophomore season. Adams plans to sign with an agent. Adams started 32 games for Pitt and averaged 7.1 and 6.3 rebounds per game. He led the Panthers with 65 blocks and made 57 percent of his shots. Considered a project when he signed, Adams improved as the season went on. He had 13 points and 11 rebounds in Pitt's 73-55 loss to Wichita State in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Adams was the second player to leave the program on Tuesday. Junior guard Trey Zeigler said he was transferring earlier in the day. |

Quotes & Highlights
- "A touching, life-affirming, deeply emotional drama with a generous dose of humor." —New York Daily News
- "Unforgettable! No matter how well you tell the story, the play makes it more vivid, more shattering, more humorous." —New York Magazine
Tuesdays with Morrie is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.

Bit of a surprise here – the Carolina Hurricanes won't be trading defenseman Bryan Allen, as confirmed by Sportsnet's John Shannon.
Allen, 31, is a pending UFA on a team with practically no shot at the playoffs, so clearly GM Jim Rutherford believes there's a good chance he'll be able to re-sign the big 31-year-old.
Given the many teams in search of a depth blueliner for the playoffs, the news that Allen is off the market will only serve to bid up the price on players of his ilk. At this rate, the Jets might demand a top-six forward, a blue-chip prospect, a first-round pick, and a Maserati for Johnny Oduya.

I got a call before the holidays from a prospective customer that I introduced to one of my portfolio companies. He said he loved our product, saw it fitting in perfectly into their platform, but that we were not responsive enough to their needs. I was able to get a second chance for our team but since deals are momentum-based, I knew that it would be an uphill struggle to win. While our technology was the best, his guys told him that they were quite concerned about our ability to be there when the shit hit the fan. In other words, they wanted to make sure that no matter what happened that they could rely on us to be there on a moment's notice to support them and help fix any issues. As I have mentioned in a previous post, you only get one chance to make a first impression and if you are strapped too thin or chasing too many deals at once, it may come back to haunt you. You see, many companies that try to partner or sell into enterprises forget that showing the love early in the sales process and stressing the support factor is as big a deal as the technology itself. I am not saying that if your technology sucks and you are there 24/7 you will win, but what I am saying is that if your technology is on the margin and all things being equal, your ability to support that partner or customer will be a huge deciding factor. So if you want the customer to show you the money, make sure that you show the love pre- and post sale.
Show me the love and I'll show you the money

This is an example of the "will it scale" challenge that entrepreneurs face in creating a business. Too often entrepreneurs only consider whether their technology will scale (i.e., will the servers handle the load) when they really need to make sure the whole business will scale.
The target market must be narrow enough to not overwhelm marketing resources. Sales and support resources need to be leveraged so that customers and revenue can grow faster than the resources applied to them. And, the product's feature set needs to be focused on serving large segments of customers, not just individual high-profile customers.
Prospective customers have become very savvy at spotting entrepreneurial companies that won't scale with their growth. That's one reason why in this Web-based, outsourced, and interconnected economy that entrepreneurial companies need experienced management and leadership more now than in the past.
This sounds like a good way to weed out the prospective clients that would be winey and high maintenance.
Could not agree more with what you have said. If you can't get it right during the sales phase what hope for the post sales phase! I work with many of the big It companies and it's not their products or technology that differentiates them, it's their support. If you expect a company to pay thousands or even millions of dollars for your solution then sure as hell someone in the customer is going to be in for a rough ride if it goes wrong… they may even lose their job and / or damage their career. Therefore, what you need to do during the selling phase is demonstrate that they can trust you… that they can rely on you… that when things go wrong, and they know they will, you will be there to support them… it's as you say… 'show me the love and I'll show you the money'
The problem I see in many cases with sales is a lack of focus. Less is more. This is particularly true for start ups with long and difficult sales cycles. Your resources by the very nature of where you are in your development will be severely limited… you can't chase everything… choose your fights and choose the ones you believe you can win and put all your best people on that deal… show them the love and you will win!

"Each trial is about the government's power to punish," Professor Stephen Cribari said in an article in the Grand Forks Herald, regarding U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson's recent overturning of a jury verdict. The judge noted that the jury "could have only convicted [the defendant], not on the evidence against him, but because he was a black man with a prior drug trafficking conviction associating with a known drug trafficker" from the Minneapolis area. Cribari commented: "That's a very important thing the judge did. That safeguards the quality of liberty in North Dakota."
Prof. Jane Kirtley was quoted in the New York Times in a "Week in Review" article about the conviction of Google executives for violation of Italian privacy law after allowing a video depicting a child being bullied to be posted on one of its services.

No Objections Raised to WSMR Impact Study
By Steve Ramirez, Las Cruces Sun-News, N.M.
Jul. 23–For more information on WSMR, click here.
LAS CRUCES — There were no public comments from Las Cruces residents Tuesday about an environmental impact study being conducted at White Sands Missile Range that will determine its suitability to expand missions and capabilities.
More than 30 people attended the meeting, at Court Youth Center, including WSMR officials and representatives of Potomac-Hudson Engineering (PHE) and Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC), two companies hired to conduct the study. The study is being done for the proposed development and implementation of the range-wide missions and major capabilities at WSMR.
The study will focus on the potential affects the addition of an engineering battalion and a heavy brigade combat team could have at WSMR. As many as 5,000 additional soldiers could be stationed at WSMR by 2013 and the added training and testing is anticipated to substantially expand WSMR's role in national defense.
"This environmental impact statement is very important to the future of White Sands Missile Range," said Dan Hicks, WSMR chief of staff.
Dorothy Peterson, PHE project manager, emphasized that although there were no public comments
at Tuesday's meeting, people have until Aug. 8 to submit written comments.
"We're here to define to be analyzed in the environmental impact statement," Peterson said. "We're at the very beginning of the 30-day public scoping process, and we will incorporate all comments and publish them in the draft environmental impact statement that will be made available for public review and additional comments."
The study will assess and consider numerous topics, including: aesthetics, air quality, geology and hydrological resources, soil erosion effects, water resources management, wetlands resources, biological resources, cultural resources, land use, traffic and transportation systems, socioeconomics, environmental justice, community services, facilities, energy, hazardous materials and waste, solid waste, human health and safety, noise, light and glare, airspace resources, wildlife, and cumulative effects.
"There are 17 land use categories and 16 activities supported by land use categories at White Sands Missile Range," said Susan Goodan, SAIC project manager "This study will affect six million or more. Land use is not one single activity, but a bundle of them."
Steve Ramirez can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Environmental Impact Study
— Two more public meetings to learn more about, or to comment on, an environmental impact statement will be at 6 p.m. today at the Macey Center, 801 Leroy Place, in Socorro, and at 6 p.m. Thursday at Otero County Administration Building, 1000 New York Ave., in Alamogordo.
— Written comments can also be mailed, e-mailed or faxed until 5 p.m. Aug. 8 to: Ms. Catherine Giblin, White Sands Test Center, Operations Office, 124 Crozier St., Building 124, White Sands Missile Range, N.M. 88002. Comments can also be faxed to Giblin's attention at (575) 678-4082; or e-mailed to: email@example.com
— A draft environmental impact statement should be available for public review in January, and more meetings will be scheduled after that.
— For more information, call Monte Marlin, WSMR chief of public affairs, (575) 678-1134.

I love everything I played of Sound Shapes so far. Can't wait for the release! It's a title I could recommend to pretty much any Vita owner suits perfectly to handheld!
Posted 7 August
Sound Shapes Launch Trailer Marches To Its Own Beat
Sound Shapes is out on PSN next week! It's the culmination of a long journey for our boss-men Jonathan Mak and Shaw-Han Liem, who worked on the concept for… more years than they probably want me to say before the reveal at E3 2011. Having worked on the game for a year myself, now I think I can speak for the whole team when I say we just want you to play it. Like… we don't want you to even watch the launch trailer we made. We made Sound Shapes for you to play!
The game will cost you €12.99/£9.99, with an additional 20% off for a limited time for PS Plus members). Most importantly however, Sound Shapes is a cross-play title. Whether you buy it on PS3 or PS Vita, you receive both versions for one price. We cannot stress this enough. We've definitely tried to stress this enough. Both versions are yours when you buy it, and all trophies and community levels are shared between them, whether you own a PS3 or a PS Vita, or both.
If you're looking for more of a general overview of what Sound Shapes is, well, why not watch our brand-spanking new launch trailer?
If you're *still* here, I guess I should recap the information you really need to know to make sure you're making the right purchase when you finally dawdle over to the PlayStation Store next week.
So: Sound Shapes is a 2D musical platformer in which every level is a song. You pick up the notes placed in the level to construct the music, but at the same time the creatures (friend or foe) and interactive objects are instruments too. We've worked with different graphic and musical artists on each album of level-songs, with the likes of Shaw-Han in his I am Robot and Proud guise, Deadmau5, Jim Guthrie and Beck working with graphic artists like Vic Ngyuen of Capy, Pyramid Attack, PixelJam and Superbrothers.
If the game stopped there that would probably have been more than enough work for us but we also decided that players should be able to use these notes, creatures and so on to make their own songs and levels. Therefore we've included a full level editor and online community which will allow you to share your creations across the entire world, reaching players on both PS3 and PS Vita no matter which version you're using.
Oh, and on top of that we've also included trophies (there's a platinum) which are unlocked by defeating Death Mode, which consists of intense platforming challenges based on our main campaign, and Beat School, which hopes to inspire players in the fine art of beat-making by challenging them to recreate a piece of music in our level editor.
So, we hope that's rather a worthy offering for your €12.99/£9.99, if you're still dilly-dallying. One of the nicest things for us is that although we're super excited to have you play Sound Shapes, we're even more excited to play the levels you create in the community. To be honest, this could be a total win-win. We get to make the game we wanted to make, share it with PlayStation's community of gamers, and then have them make levels that we get to play? Amazing! (And don't worry, we do plan to support the community beyond launch with DLC. Not that we're going to say any more than that for now!)
If you do find you want to know even more about Sound Shapes, check out our website here! But we wish you'd just pick up the game and get to making levels. Come on, it's your turn, we've been making them for ages!
I have save my money a long long time now The last lever editor video make me to want this game more Amazing sounds and the best is level creations ! Only one question how many levels has the full game ?
Looks fantastic. Pity you felt the need to delay it in Europe without actually telling anyone.
i thought it's coming 8/8 for EU … why next week ? … it's coming today on NA …
Good reviews for it – http://psp2roundup.blogspot.com/2012/08/sound-shapes-reviews-burst-out-hits.html
But, again, why the hell next week?
I still don't know why it'll also come out on PS3. It's the perfect Vita game, and Sony need to sell more Vitas, but that will never happen when all games comes out both on PS3 and Vita.
Anyways, I will definetly get this day one. I've been looking forward to this since I saw the first trailer and every gametrailer since has just made me anticipate it even more.
I have been playing our review copy today and I am that impressed I have to tell everyone how great it is My review will be up tomorrow. http://www.playstationer.net
This game looks MINT !!! Been waiting for it for ages so gutted it's been put back till next week.
I will be a happy plus day one buyer and the PS3 download is an added bonus but I reckon it'll be the Vita version that I play. It looks perfect for the Vita.
It looks and sounds great. I am a big fan of Riff Everyday Shooter… was kind of hoping it'd get a PSP PSN price drop so I ca pick it up for my Vita as it's currently near enough the price of SoundShapes!
So lets drop the Riff EDS price in the PSP sale to make up for the extra weeks wait and I'll be buying them both straight away!
I don't reply very often, but I felt a need to reply.
Why do people complain about a week delay? In the old days it took years for games to be released, if someone was willing to localize it.
The Playstation Store Team (I think it was Jawad) have given a couple of reasons why the delay between Stores exist. Legal issues and localisation being two of them. Everytime I read this blog for the Heads Up Store Updates and certain Game Updates it's the same story again. People keep complaining and complaining…
I mean, what's a week on a whole life. The game is still very nice after that one week. In the meantime you can try to finish off other games of get a Platinum Trophy once more.
^ Because there shouldn't be any delay at all.
Looks cool, can't wait.
@9 I agree, I don't really care about stuff being released 1 week later in Europe, either.
What I do care about, is when we have to wait years for something to be released in Europe, or if it doesn't get released at all. I understand why certain Japanese games don't make it to Europe – because they wouldn't sell enough. However, I personally felt unfairly treated when the 32gb PS Vita memory card wasn't initially meant to become available in Europe. As if it would sell any less here than anywhere else… And considering that it's just a different-sized memory card, I think it's safe to say it wasn't for legal reasons either, actually, I don't think there was any reason at all.
But yeah, waiting one more week for a game isn't that bad.
This game is totally a day 1 type of purchase. I have to agree with what's been said earlier. Why would I want a Vita if I can get the same game on my PS3? I'll admit if you already own the Vita this news is a win win however if you don't own one this gives even less incentive for people to buy the Vita. Sadly I'm really starting to question whether or not I should get the Vita even though PS3 has the same games…only time will tell.
Why aren't there Australian prices anymore? Since we have to visit this site to find out any information surely the prices can be added for Aussies?
Can't wait for this! If only it was coming out this week
We close the comments for posts after 30 days. If you would still like to comment on this post, please use our contact form.

I was going to buy a dozen eggs, which were on sale. The clerk,I contacted when the shelf was empty, was going to provide me with a rain check. But the evening manager thought there were eggs in the "back". It took her a relative long time to "dig them out from behind gallons of milk, but she did it. It well appreciated by me.
Thomas H. Koch MDA pharmacy down the street had to order medicine that was going to take about 7 days for him to get, so he started calling other pharmacies of his own chain and could not find the medicine, so he called Walgreens near the corner of Gunbarrel Road, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the pharmacist there had the medicine, and was so nice to accomodate me and the other pharmacist, and this way, I did not have to put off 7 more days in having my prescription filled. He was very nice, and so was the rest of the staff there at the pharmacy. The store was very well in order, with all the shelves so nicely and neatly stocked, and the store was so cool with the air conditioning system working well, and so I was so thankful to be able to get my medicine in a timely fashion, so the pharmacist at Walgreens came to the rescue. Thanks Walgreens.
ReplyDeletekate..Great service and employees are very helpfull and caring im 8 months preagnant and have two toddlers so u can imagine how hard it is to carry grocerys to the car especially when its raining but a very nice employee of walgreen offered and caread all my grocerys and thing i purchased to my car.
ReplyDeleteSione Ahomana> Walgreens is a great place to go if u need prescribed medicine, they are really helpful when it comes to getting your drugs from their pharmacy. When ever my medicine is ready, they call me on time. I wouldn't go anywhere else, thank you so much Walgreens for all you've done for me and my family, you make life easier for us.

Naya Rivera Wears a Bikini on a Yacht in Italy (PHOTO)
It's safe to say that we all wish we could look as amazing as Glee star Naya Rivera (Santana) does. And while we're wishing for things, why not wish to be on a yacht in Europe, too? Naya attended the 2013 Giffoni Film Festival in Giffoni Valle Piana, Italy, on July 24. In fact, she looked stunning on the red carpet in a pink Michael Kors sweetheart-cut dress. Bellissima! But it wasn't all work and no play in Italy for Naya, who's currently enjoying some downtime before Glee goes back into production in the next few weeks. On July 23, she shared a photo of herself soaking up some rays in a bikini along the water, champagne flute in hand. "Yacht life #italyliving," Naya captioned the Instagram pic. It's official: We want Naya's life, as if we didn't already. And how adorable is her bathing suit, with the floral print and scalloped top? Love it! At the festival, Naya spoke to a packed theater of 800 people, where she asked for a moment of silence from the crowd. "And you all know why," she said about why she wanted the silence, referring to Glee co-star Cory Monteith's (Finn) sudden and recent death. The people running the festival apparently weren't sure if Naya would still be able to attend, given Cory's passing, but she said she felt it was important to be there. "Coming here, I've honored the Festival, and so his memory," Naya said. Sources: Instagram, Giffoni Film Festival

Funding Opportunity Announcement: PS15-1502: Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Projects for Community-Based Organizations
This website is designed to: (1) support the application process for community-based organizations (CBOs) applying for Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) PS15-1502; and (2) to provide a forum for the dissemination of important information to future PS15-1502 funded organizations.
Letter of Intent to Apply for Funding
The purpose of this program is to implement comprehensive HIV prevention programs to reduce morbidity, mortality, and related health disparities. In accordance with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/NHAS.pdf) and CDC's High-Impact HIV Prevention (HIP) approach (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/strategy/hihp/index.htm), this FOA focuses on HIV in the nation by reducing new infections, increasing access to care, and promoting health equity. These goals will be achieved by enhancing community-based organizations' capacities to increase HIV testing, link HIV-positive persons to HIV medical care, increase referrals to Partner Services (PS), provide prevention and essential support services for HIV-positive persons and high-risk persons with unknown/negative serostatus, and increase program monitoring and accountability. Standard performance measures for HIV prevention programs that are consistent with the focus of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy on improving performance and accountability are included in this FOA.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the availability of fiscal year 2015 funds for a cooperative agreement program for community-based organizations (CBOs) to develop and implement High-Impact Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Programs in the following two categories:
Category A: HIV prevention services for members of racial/ethnic minority communities. These services must focus on members at greatest risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV infection. Examples of these minority communities include, but are not limited to, Black/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaskan Natives, Asian, and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanders.
Category B: HIV prevention services for members of groups at greatest risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV infection, regardless of race/ethnicity. Examples include, but are not limited to, HIV-positive persons, men who have sex with men [MSM], injection drug users [IDUs], and transgender persons.
*Applicants may apply for funding under one category only.
*Applicants are required to provide HIV prevention services for both HIV-positive persons and high-risk HIV-negative persons, regardless of the category for which funding is being requested.
Community-based organizations are uniquely positioned to complement and extend the reach of HIV prevention efforts implemented by state and local health departments and education agencies to support the optimization of services across public, private, and other community-based organizations to achieve objectives of increased identification of HIV infection, referral for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) services, earlier entry to HIV care, and increased consistency of care. The High-Impact HIV Prevention Program model for HIV-positive and high-risk HIV-negative persons will consist of the following required program components: (1) formalized collaborations; (2) program promotion, outreach, and recruitment; (3) targeted HIV testing; (4) HIV prevention for HIV-positive persons; (5) HIV prevention for high-risk HIV-negative persons; (6) condom distribution; and (7) HIV and organizational planning.
This opportunity is limited to non-profit organizations (e.g., community, faith-based, and tribal organizations) and must also be located and provide services in the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) listed here. An MSA is defined as a core geographic area containing a substantial population nucleus together with adjacent communities having a high degree of social and economic integration with that core. MSAs may be comprised of one or more entire counties.
For additional information related to counties and/or cities included in the MSAs or Metropolitan Divisions, please visit http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/bulletins/2013/b-13-01.pdf; reference Lists 2 and 3. For a comprehensive list of the MSA in the United States and Puerto Rico, please visit http://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2010/cph-t/CPH-T-5.pdf.
The listed MSAs were selected based upon having the highest unadjusted number of diagnoses of HIV infection in 2011 (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/statistics_2011_HIV_Surveillance_Report_vol_23.pdf#Page=75).
Based on anticipated availability of funds, CDC expects to award up to 100 cooperative agreements under the Categories A and B. The average award will be approximately $400,000, with an individual floor of $350,000 and an individual ceiling of $450,000. If the applicant organization applies as the lead agency for a Collaborative CBO HIV Prevention Partnership, the approximate floor award is $700,000 and the maximum amount of an award is $1,000,000 with an average award of $850,000.

Bozeman, MT (PRWEB) July 18, 2012
The Garmin fenix is a new GPS watch that offers complete navigation and mapping capabilities similar to those of a hand held GPS except it is on the wrist leaving the hands hands-free according to the Heart Rate Watch Company.
"The Garmin fenix is ideal for marking important points you want to remember, like certain fishing holes or specific points where big game have been scouted", says Rusty Squire, President of the Heart Rate Watch Company. He adds, "It truly is the ideal tool for the serious hunting and fishing enthusiast".
Knowing important map points for favorite fishing locations or locations for big game can be invaluable and save users a lot of time in navigating to their favorite spots. "If you get lost in the woods or the mountains then the Garmin fenix can navigate you right back to the car with ease", says Squire. He adds, "With 1,000 way points and 10,000 track points it is easy to set a bread crumb trail to navigate yourself back to any location.
The applications of the Garmin fenix are virtually limitless for outdoor enthusiasts and it provides post-adventure maps of everywhere you went with elevations. It's only competition is the Suunto Ambit and that watch does not do onscreen maps.
ABC Watch - Altimeter, Barometer And Compass
The fenix includes an altimeter, barometer and compass, so you'll always know your elevations, the weather and which direction to head in. Program in USGS coordinates and the Garmin fenix can take you exactly where you want to go with pinpoint accuracy, even without a trail.
Doubles as a Fitness Watch
The Garmin fenix also works with Garmin heart rate monitor straps to gather heart rate data and other accessories making it a fairly complete bike computer or runners watch if desired.
Plenty of Power
The Garmin fenix uses a lithium-ion rechargeable battery that can last up to 50 hours at 1 minute recording intervals or about 18 hours at one second recording intervals. Recharge the watch with an included power cable and download all mapping, temperature, distance and other data directly into Garmin Connect. Share your maps with friends, but be careful of showing too many people those favorite spots.
"The Garmin fenix is due out in late August and is already enormously popular so the best thing for consumers to do is get in advanced orders as quickly as possible on this GPS watch", says Squire.

Significance and Use
5.1 Insulating materials are used to isolate components of an electrical system from each other and from ground, as well as to provide mechanical support for the components. For this purpose, it is generally desirable to have the insulation resistance as high as possible, consistent with acceptable mechanical, chemical, and heat-resisting properties. Since insulation resistance or conductance combines both volume and surface resistance or conductance, its measured value is most useful when the test specimen and electrodes have the same form as is required in actual use. Surface resistance or conductance changes rapidly with humidity, while volume resistance or conductance changes slowly with the total change being greater in some cases.
5.2 Resistivity or conductivity is used to predict, indirectly, the low-frequency dielectric breakdown and dissipation factor properties of some materials. Resistivity or conductivity is often used as an indirect measure of: moisture content, degree of cure, mechanical continuity, or deterioration of various types. The usefulness of these indirect measurements is dependent on the degree of correlation established by supporting theoretical or experimental investigations. A decrease of surface resistance results either in an increase of the dielectric breakdown voltage because the electric field intensity is reduced, or a decrease of the dielectric breakdown voltage because the area under stress is increased.
5.3 All the dielectric resistances or conductances depend on the length of time of electrification and on the value of applied voltage (in addition to the usual environmental variables). These must be known and reported to make the measured value of resistance or conductance meaningful. Within the electrical insulation materials industry, the adjective "apparent" is generally applied to resistivity values obtained under conditions of arbitrarily selected electrification time. See X1.4.
5.4 Volume resistivity or conductivity is calculated from resistance and dimensional data for use as an aid in designing an insulator for a specific application. Studies have shown changes of resistivity or conductivity with temperature and humidity (1, 2, 3, 4).4 These changes must be known when designing for operating conditions. Volume resistivity or conductivity determinations are often used in checking the uniformity of an insulating material, either with regard to processing or to detect conductive impurities that affect the quality of the material and that are not readily detectable by other methods.
5.5 Volume resistivities above 1021 Ω·cm (1019 Ω·m), calculated from data obtained on specimens tested under usual laboratory conditions, are of doubtful validity, considering the limitations of commonly used measuring equipment.
5.6 Surface resistance or conductance cannot be measured accurately, only approximated, because some degree of volume resistance or conductance is always involved in the measurement. The measured value is also affected by the surface contamination. Surface contamination, and its rate of accumulation, is affected by many factors including electrostatic charging and interfacial tension. These, in turn, affect the surface resistivity. Surface resistivity or conductivity is considered to be related to material properties when contamination is involved but is not a material property of electrical insulation material in the usual sense.
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods cover direct-current procedures for the measurement of dc insulation resistance, volume resistance, and surface resistance. From such measurements and the geometric dimensions of specimen and electrodes, both volume and surface resistivity of electrical insulating materials can be calculated, as well as the corresponding conductances and conductivities.
1.2 These test methods are not suitable for use in measuring the electrical resistance/conductance of moderately conductive materials. Use Test Method D4496 to evaluate such materials.
1.3 This standard describes several general alternative methodologies for measuring resistance (or conductance). Specific materials can be tested most appropriately by using standard ASTM test methods applicable to the specific material that define both voltage stress limits and finite electrification times as well as specimen configuration and electrode geometry. These individual specific test methodologies would be better able to define the precision and bias for the determination.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Today I had a craving to cook a sardine recipe based on one by Lorenza di Medici but I wasn't sure whether sardines were around. It was very cold and raining but I got myself out of bed and to Piedimonte's, and thence to Canals. And guess what was in the Canals window? Filleted and flattened sardines just like I wanted! I was also tempted by the Pacific oysters and cooked prawns as I waited my turn. So I went away satisfied!
After I dropped off flowers to a friend for her birthday and devoured the almond croissant, housework and fighting with my modem intervened. Lunch was my reward (even though there was plenty more housework and I still couldn't get a connection on the modem): Philippa's luscious green olive bread with the oysters and prawns and lime juice. I normally use lemon but had been given some limes. The lime juice added a great touch, as I fought off the kokkinaki from the seafood. The greedy aspraki was asleep near the heater and missed the battle.
Hmm! After a good start my Saturday was not going well: broken dish, lost cook book, no internet connection and an overwhelming amount of housework. Use another dish, just cite the recipe book as a source, start inputting my blog post in Word for uploading later (@#$% internet connection), and do more housework (or put on my raincoat and go for a walk in the beautiful rain).
Things didn't get better. The modem was on its last legs so I dashed out to buy a replacement and still the washing wasn't done! And when I started cooking the sardines the quantities were not quite right for the dish I was using and required a bit of playing with quantities. However, the final product was delicious and well worth the effort. And the new modem is still working and the first load of washing is completed!
12 sardines (headed, filleted and flattened)
3 heaped tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon currants
1 tablespoon pinenuts
Olive oil
Pre-heat oven to 160 degrees. Place the sardines in a circular arrangement in a round dish that is suitable for oven to table use. Sprinkle the currants over. Add breadcrumbs. Pour on orange juice to cover and dash with olive oil. Toss pinenuts on top. Place in the middle of the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
Serves four as an entree and two as a main meal. For a main meal serve with salad or vegetables.

INDEPENDENTS OUTPLAY AND OUTCLASS BEEFY 'STARS' Completely outplaying the collection of ex and current college stars, Rock Island cruised to an easy victory. Independents out gained the Pros 444 yards to 114. Rock Island rushed for 263 yards while Hammond managed only 29. First downs, Rock Island won 18 to 3. Stars Waddy Kuehl the former star from Davenport tallied 124 total yards and scored 2 touchdowns. One of the scores was on one a beautiful pass from Arnie Wyman. Kuehl took over for Ursella at quarterback late in the first half and the Independents didn't miss a beat. Fred Chicken rushed for 74 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground. Arnie Wyman also had a great game as he ran for 63 yards, and threw for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Dirty Play Hammond quickly realized they were outmatched and resorted to cheap shots, slugs, kicks and just aboue every dirty trick in the book. Rube Ursella suffered a wrenched knee and had to go to see Dr. Watson of the Iowa Hawkeys in Iowa City. Duey Lyle was deliberately kicked in the face and needed seven stitches to close the gap on his upper lip. Ed Healey was "cleated" clear to the bone and needed five stitches in the cheek. Next Game Rock Island will try to stay undefeated as they welcome the Starch makers of Decatur to town. Source - Rock Island Argus October,11 1920 |

Ph.D. thesis, University of Birmingham.
| AbstractStair climbing is an ideal activity to promote in worksites due to its availability and associated health benefits. To date findings are equivocal regarding stair climbing intervention success in this setting, thus more research is needed. Chapter two of this thesis confirmed that a calorific expenditure message can increase stair climbing in a train station. Based on this finding, chapter three implemented a point-of-choice intervention using a longer calorific expenditure message in four buildings and successfully increased stair climbing. The inability to translate intervention success on public access staircases to the worksite setting is likely to be due the random availability of the lift. Consequently, chapter four examined the effect of lift availability on stair use, concluding that reduced lift availability increases stair use. Lift availability can rarely be modified however, so chapter five assessed whether a point-of-choice intervention using an aspirational climb Mt. Everest message can increase stair climbing. Whilst no increase in stair climbing was recorded during this intervention, the same calorific expenditure message as used in chapter three increased stair climbing in the same building. Collectively, these findings demonstrate the effectiveness of point-of-choice prompts using calorific expenditure messages in increasing stair climbing in the worksite setting. |

Gabrielle Giffords takes on powerful US gun lobby with new initiativeBy Robert MacPherson, AFP January 10, 2013, 1:42 pm TWN WASHINGTON -- Former U.S. congresswoman and gun violence survivor Gabrielle Giffords put the National Rifle Association (NRA) squarely in her sights Tuesday as she unveiled a major initiative for tougher gun laws.
Giffords, shot in the head in January 2011 while meeting constituents in her native Arizona, announced she was forming her own lobby group after a visit to Newtown, Connecticut where 20 children died in a Dec. 14 mass shooting. "We can't just hope that the last shooting tragedy will prevent the next," Giffords said, in an op-ed article in the USA Today newspaper co-signed by her astronaut husband Mark Kelly. "Achieving reforms to reduce gun violence and prevent mass shootings will mean matching gun lobbyists in their reach and resources," she said, referring specifically to the influential NRA. Her group, Americans for Responsible Solutions, will "raise the funds necessary to balance the influence of the gun lobby" and support political leaders who support tougher limits on the private ownership of guns. The NRA said Tuesday it would send a representative to the White House on Thursday "to hear what they have to say," following an invitation last week from the Obama administration for input on ways to confront gun violence. In New York, meanwhile, the Gawker.com blog Tuesday posted a 446-page list identifying what it called every licensed gun owner in the city, minus addresses, obtained from police via a Freedom of Information Law request. Publication of a similar list in a suburban New York newspaper triggered outrage among gun owners. Giffords said she upholds the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution that sets out the rights of Americans "to keep and bear arms." "We don't want to take away your guns any more than we want to give up the two guns we have locked in a safe at home," wrote Giffords two years to the day after she was gravely shot — and six others killed, including a 9-year-old girl — in the parking lot of a Tucson, Arizona shopping mall. "What we do want is what the majority of NRA members and other Americans want: responsible changes in our laws to require responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence." Giffords and Kelly said the first change they hope to see is the introduction of comprehensive background checks for the private sale of firearms within the United States. "I bought a gun at Walmart recently and I went through a background check. It's not a difficult thing to do," Kelly said. "Why can't we just do that and make it more difficult for criminals and the mentally ill to get guns?"

Hewlett family opposes Compaq deal
November 6, 2001
HP said it expects to close the deal Friday and launch the new company Tuesday.
According to the final tally from Delaware-based IVS Associates, 838,401,376 HP shares were voted in favor of the deal, compared with 793,094,105 shares voted against the proposal--a difference of a little less than 3 percent. Nearly 14 million shares abstained.
The final tally comes a day after a Delaware court rejected a lawsuit from Walter Hewlett seeking to overturn the results of the March 19 shareholder vote. After the judge's ruling, Hewlett said he would not file an appeal and would also drop his challenge to IVS's preliminary tally.
The final vote certification brings to an end a months-long proxy fight that was one of the most costly and contentious in memory.
Although Hewlett approved the merger last year when he was an HP board member, he subsequently launched a campaign against the deal in November. Hewlett was joined later in his fight by David W. Packard, son of HP co-founder Dave Packard, and later by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, HP's largest shareholder.
The campaign launched by Hewlett was initially viewed as a quixotic venture. Large and small investors, though, began to gravitate toward his message that technology mergers typically don't work well, and many shareholders, including the Hewlett and Packard families, decided against the deal. Employees found themselves in the middle, concerned about corporate culture clashes and pending layoffs if the merger were to succeed.
HP and Compaq now face an even more formidable task: merging two enormous rivals into one cohesive team that can compete against IBM and Dell Computer--two companies currently outgrowing both HP and Compaq in key markets. Integrating companies is never an easy task. Compaq executives admit they mishandled Compaq's acquisition of Digital, a deal that ultimately led to HP's acquisition of Compaq.
Both HP and Compaq have been meticulously planning the integration for months and have already mapped out the merged companies' product lines and management teams.
