LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Look out, G.I. Joe.
Here comes "LAPD Patrol Officer West," a tiny, sinewy action figure doll dressed just like a Los Angeles police officer right down to his tiny die-cast metal gun, handcuffs, pepper spray and black boots -- all for $39.95 and available in time for Christmas.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL), a union representing about 9,000 Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers, has begun selling the dolls, dressed in authentic LAPD uniforms, via the department's Web site (www.lapd.com) in order to raise the profile of law enforcement officers in the community, a spokesman said.
"These action figures are not only great gifts for law enforcement officers and children, but they are also a great way to show pride in the law enforcement heroes that are protecting our nation right now," said LAPPL President Mitzi Grasso.
"The extensive planning and design that went into these figures to make sure that they are realistic representations of police officers makes them quality gifts," Grasso added.
Standing one-foot (.34 meters) tall, the dolls are the first in a series of "LAPD Elite Force Action Figures" that will come complete with 1/6-scale weapons and accessories. Also in time for the 2001 holiday season, the LAPPL has introduced a female companion for West, "Patrol Officer Sommers."
New officer dolls will follow each quarter, the union said in a statement, including officers assigned to K9 dog units, SWAT teams, narcotics, air support, horse-mounted patrol, bicycle detail, riot control and motorcycle patrol.
The dolls follow a massive recruiting campaign launched last summer by the scandal-plagued force, involving radio spots, print ads, theater and bus shelter promos and 50 billboards. The campaign aims at attracting more recruits by spotlighting the good, caring actions of the department's officers.
Recruitment and retention of qualified personnel has been a major problem for the department since the city's Rampart station corruption scandal broke in September 1999. In that scandal, an officer who was accused of stealing cocaine from an evidence locker began detailing pervasive corruption at the Rampart station.
More than 100 criminal convictions have been recorded in the scandal, which is expected to cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars in legal and settlement costs.
The LAPD currently has fewer than the 9,000 officers required to patrol the nation's second-largest city, and about 800 below its level of two years ago.
Recent figures show that the department needs to recruit between 16,000 and 27,000 applicants just to hire the 1,000 extra officers it needs to meet city standards because applicants face an extensive screening process.

12/06/01: PACHINKO's EURO MENAGERIE OF LIGHTS, BOURBON & BJORK
PACHINKO just returned from their European tour. Here is a letter that Brech wrote to a friend that he said we could put up on our website.
wow, catherine,
what a crazy time we're having i prague... last night we drove 10 1/2 hours through the austrian alps to find ourselves in prague, at the end of our shorter and shorter tour(tho' tonite we may play a gig here)
we decided to blow the last of our profit at a glitzy czech night club, the drinks actually cost more than a dollar, so we knew it was nice. hard to believe, but bjork's drummer was there, a tall man, who much like us, liked to drink hard and party harder. i told him that i knew the old drummer from the sugarcubes, siggi baldurson, he said that he too knew him, that they were old friends. yessirreebob, that was our in.
i told him that all tour i had been telling people that i once took a shower with bjork, and that it was crazy to run into her drummer. he laughed and made a phone call and within 15 minutes bjork arrived, i guess she was at a nicer club down the street. he had told her of my tall tale, she thought it was hilarious and we set to drinkin', goddamn can that girl drink, and dance, too.
after about 20 beam and cokes(which she wouldn't even let me pay for) i got her out on the dance floor to do her thing, the world was a spinning menagerie of lights, bourbon, and bjork. the next part i think i blacked out, but somehow all of us ended up back at bjork's hotel, it doesn't need to be said, but it was swank. the stereo in that joint was nicer than the clubs', things got bumpin'.
bjork kept bringing up the story about the "shower incident", i think it might have been the bravery of the beam, but i told her we might as well go take one. she said that her husband was in the other room,.... damn, ..shot down, .. but when she saw my heart drop, she reassured me that he wasn't a jealous man, BAMM!!, i thought to myself. i practically had my pants around my ankles, sprinting for the bathroom, once again, it was swank.
bjork followed me into the shower(imagine what king hussein might shower in), but she wouldn't take off her bejewelled panties, i kept ribbing her and ribbing her about it and finally she gave in, it turns out that she had shaven her pubic hair into a letter, (from the looks of it one that doesn't exist in the english language)the first letter of her husband's name, a husband which happened to be the the drummer, .... i guess he isn't a jealous man.
home soon,
love, ........B
Today is the 16th anniversary of the release of Frankenchrist by the Dead Kennedys. More controversial than the album itself was the packaging: The Shriners filed suit regarding the cover (pictured were some of the ridiculous little cars they drive); and a poster included in the album was later the basis of obscenity charges against Jello Biafra and Alternative Tentacles.

11/28/01: KRIST NOVOSELIC LAUNCHES Inclusive Democracy?WEBSITE
Dear Fellow Lovers of Liberty & Democracy,
11/28/01: BRANDON CRUZ's LETTER UP ON WEBSITE AGAIN FOR SOME REASON
About 2months ago we posted a letter that character actor Brandon Cruz sent to Jello Biafra. East Bay Ray complained to us that Brandon had received nasty emails due to us posting that letter, which contained his email address. One person sent Brandon an email threatening violence which wasn't cool, so we complied with Ray's pleading to remove the letter. However, every day people are emailing us wanting to get a copy of the letter. So, here it is. Without his email address. Remember kids, violence isn't cool.

(Singapore-AP) -- Jack Sim wants to break the silence on the topic of toilets. He's the founder of the 17-nation World Toilet Organization. The inaugural W-T-O summit took place recently in Singapore. And the members have declared every November 19th from now on World Toilet Day. Sim says the day will be used to promote awareness of the need for good toilets. The W-T-O has released nine aims, including improving the quality of toilet environments and promoting better toilets for all people on earth. Korea will host the next summit. Many industry members say that country has the best but most expensive toilets.
11/22/01: WHY DOC DART (Crucifucks) GETS HATE CALLS AFTER 9/11
It didn't take long for Doc Corbin Dart to publicly express his ideas following the Sept. 11 attacks. Since that day he's posted signs on the front of his Okemos house such as : "U.S. terror in Iraq makes Sept. 11th a tiny mirror image," and "U.S. Troops terrorize as cowards from the skies. They should be in body bags."
The reaction has been just as quick. He's faced everything from rocks thrown at his window to visits from the State Police, who, he said, walked around the perimeter of his property taking pictures. All along, Dart said he has also received menacing phone calls. "The threats at first were rather veiled, but starting last Wednesday or maybe the week before that, the veils came off. They've been completely death threats," her said.
One of the signs on Dart's house lists a phone number, which is how he's received most of his threats. Tapes recorded on his answering machine contain messages such as: "I'll brace myself for a long, long time...but in the end I'm going to kill all of you...all of you dead." "I will kill you if I get the chance."
Dart said that because of his opposition to the actions of the United States in Afghanistan, many people assume he's Arabic. One caller left the message: "Here's an idea-how about you camel jockeys go back to your goddamn country, leave us alone and pray to your fake God."
"Everything that I'm doing has been under the heading of the Animal Liberation Front, because human beings are animals and they won't admit it," Dart said. "There's not much that separates us from animals except that they're awake and alert and most humans are asleep."
To Dart, it is a moral imperative to act out against suffering in the world. He cites the assassination of John Lennon as a turning point. "That's kind of when it started for me. That was the final straw."
After multiple arrests during the mid-1980s in the name of various causes, Dart said he sank into a severe depression that lasted for years. About three years ago, he said his depression lifted and he began to work on what he calls "mystical trances," which he said is the antithesis of meditation. It is through his work with trances that led Dart to leave this message for anyone who calls the phone number posted on the front of his house: "His name is the number 26...He is the Messiah...He has arrived at the mountaintop...And no one on earth can bring him down." "Someone with divine authority had to step in and stop the destruction of nature, and the out of control propagation of the human species," he said. And Dart believes he is that authority. "But it's hard for people to understand that because I don't look the part." He said that there is a purpose to the expression of his claims, and that the signs are meant to "call attention to the terrorism initiated by the United States."
"It's not a local project, and it won't be finished until I've had my own impact on foreign policy," Dart said. That impact, according to Dart, would include a realignment of the United Nations so that more powerful countries don't have stronger influence. Also, he feels that the United Nations should go in between the Palestinians and Israelis to stop the violence there and begin negotiations until a fair settlement is reached, "for the Palestinians in particular." But the biggest impact for Dart would be to help convince the United States to "pull all of its tentacles out of the Middle East, and perhaps make reparations to the Iraqi people and others," he said.

11/10/01: Mumia Abu-Jamal on detentions
Mumia Abu-Jamal on detentions
What was the most common response heard to the devastation that struck New York's Twin Towers and the Pentagon on 11 September, 2001? For tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of people, especially those in their 50s or older, the carnage and destruction of the aerial attack of 11 September brought to mind the flying squadrons of Imperial Japan when waves of them struck Pearl Harbor on 7 December, 1941. Over 2,300 Americans perished during that attack. As is often the case, people are often right. While there were obviously dissimilarities (Japan was a nation, not an organization) the psychological impact was indeed similar: shock, fear, outrage, and a massive military and social response.
After the Pearl Harbor attack, the U.S. declared war by the next day -- December 8th. It also embarked on an internal war of sorts, against Americans of Japanese descent. Within days of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the media agitated against Japanese-Americans, as did the Los Angeles Times, which wrote: "A viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched - so a Japanese American, born of Japanese parents - grows up to be a Japanese, not an American." Racist editorials such as this paved the way for people like U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 9066, which removed tens of thousands of Japanese-Americans from the West Coast, and placing over 120,000 Japanese men, women, and children in concentration camps, over 60% of whom were American citizens.
While there are far more Arab-Americans in the U.S. then there were Japanese-Americans in the U.S. in the 1940s, over 1,000 Arab-Americans are being held in secret, unlimited detention, with no meaningful access to lawyers. The U.S. Justice Dept. recently announced that it will monitor telephone conversations between detainees and lawyers.
So, that (internment) hasn't happened -- yet. At the time of World War II, the U.S. government announced it was fighting totalitarianism, and demanded hemispheric unity. As a result, some nations, like Peru, waged virtual war against their Japanese citizens. The Peruvian government froze and confiscated Japanese assets, shut down Japanese businesses and schools, and black-listed the entire Japanese community. Under U.S. pressure, the government forced some of its Japanese citizens to flee back to Japan; 1771 others were deported to the U.S., where they were confined to ugly, dusty concentration camps, in Texas. *These were Spanish-speaking Peruvian citizens*, whose only offenses were having Japanese ancestry!
Can what happened in the 1940s happen now? No? Why not? What if another bombing were to occur? Who can say?

09/17/01: Tamim Ansary on the Attacks

(Note: this was originally posted listing him as a Professor at Berkeley. We have just heard that is not a Professor at Berkeley, but someone with a lot of insight.)
I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ronn Owens, on KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have to accept collateral damage. What else can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit discussing whether we "have the belly to do what must be done."
And I thought about the issues being raised especially hard because I am from Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35 years I've never lost track of what's going on there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it all looks from where I'm standing.
I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters.
But the Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps."
It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do with this atrocity. They were the first victims of the perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the rats nest of international thugs holed up in their country.
Some say, why don't the Afghans rise up and overthrow the Taliban? The answer is, they're starved, exhausted, hurt, incapacitated, suffering.
A few years ago, the United Nations estimated that there are 500,000 disabled orphans in Afghanistan--a country with no economy, no food.
There are millions of widows. And the Taliban has been burying these widows alive in mass graves. The soil is littered with land mines, the farms were all destroyed by the Soviets. These are a few of the reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban.
We come now to the question of bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age. Trouble is, that's been done. The Soviets took care of it already.
Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering. Level their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that.
New bombs would only stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have wheelchairs.
But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would only be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the people they've been raping all this time.
So what else is there? What can be done, then? Let me now speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to get Bin Laden is to go in there with ground troops. When people speak of "having the belly to do what needs to be done" they're thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many as needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms about killing innocent people. Let's pull our heads out of the sand.
What's actually on the table is Americans dying. And not just because some Americans would die fighting their way through Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout. It's much bigger than that folks. Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go through Pakistan.
Would they let us? Not likely. The conquest of Pakistan would have to be first.
Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You see where I'm going. We're flirting with a world war between Islam and the West.
And guess what: that's Bin Laden's program. That's exactly what he wants. That's why he did this. Read his speeches and statements. It's all right there. He really believes Islam would beat the west.
It might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands, that's a billion people with nothing left to lose, that's even better from Bin Laden's point of view. He's probably wrong, in the end the west would win, whatever that would mean, but the war would last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours. Who has the belly for that? Bin Laden does. Anyone else?
09/14/01: MORE FROM MOORE on the ATTACKS
Across America Tonight ...
Dear Friends,
I am on the road tonight, the only way to get out of L.A. and back home to our daughter and our friends in New York City. Oddly enough, I have never driven across this vast country. My wife and I have now stopped in Flagstaff for a few hours sleep before moving on.
The sorrow and anger builds across America. Talk radio tonight was filled with calls for carpet-bombing every Arab country. Many want revenge, blood. But a surprising number of people have called for us to not add to the killing of more innocent humans. The rest stops and the convenience stores along the way were filled with quiet, solemn people, many of whom, like us, can get home no other way than by this four-day trip.
Our daughter is fine, mostly frightened by my desire to fly home to her rather than drive. Once again, I was outvoted 2 to 1. This is nothing new.
We have learned of more people we know who have lost their lives. Bill Weems, who worked as a line producer for us this year, was on the flight from Boston that crashed into the World Trade Center. He was such a sweet and decent soul. Such senseless madness.
The children of New York who are orphaned tonight ... what do we say or do? I will do my part -- anything, something -- as soon as I get to New York. But it will never be enough.
The firefighters of New York: they are on every other block, every day, and they are your best neighbors. Sitting out on the sidewalks in front of the fire stations, a good word and a kind smile to all who pass ... now, 350+ of them gone, having risked their lives to save the victims of a carnage they soon became part of.
A good friend from Flint is a clerical worker at the Pentagon. I have heard no word about her condition. I have tried contacting her family to no avail. Her son, Malcolm, worked on our show. I cannot find him. I keep getting tears in my eyes. Once she gave me a tour of the Pentagon, took me everywhere, and got such a kick out of taking me around this building I used to march on. Will our mutual friends who know Barbara, and know how she is, please write me? Please.
The man who occupies the White House cried today. Good. Keep crying, Mr. Bush. The more you cry, the less you will go to that dark side in all humans where anger rages to a point where we want to blindly kill. Your dad's and Reagan's old cronies -- Eagleberger, Baker, Schultz -- are all calling for you to bomb first and ask questions later. You must NOT do this. If only because you do not want to stoop to these mass murderers' level. Yes, find out who did it. Yes, see that they NEVER do it again.
But GET A GRIP, man. "Declare war?" War against whom? One guy in the desert whom we can never seem to find? Are our leaders telling us that the most powerful country on earth cannot dispose of one sick evil f---wad of a guy? Because if that is what you are telling us, then we are truly screwed. If you are unable to take out this lone ZZ Top wannabe, what on earth would you do for us if we were attacked by a nation of millions? For chrissakes, call the Israelis and have them do that thing they do when they want to get their man! We pay them enough billions each year, I am SURE they would be happy to accommodate your request.
But I beg you, Mr. Bush, stay with the tears. Go today to comfort the wounded of New York. Tell the mayor, a guy most of us have not liked, that he is doing an incredible job, keeping the spirits of everyone up as high as they can be at this moment. Being there for a city I believe he loves, his own cancer still with him, he goes beyond the call of duty.
But do not declare war and massacre more innocents. After bin Laden's previous act of terror, our last elected president went and bombed what he said was "bin Laden's camp" in Afghanistan -- but instead just killed civilians. Then he bombed a factory in the Sudan, saying it was "making chemical weapons." It turned out to be making aspirin. Innocent people murdered by our Air Force.
Back in May, you gave the Taliban in Afghanistan $48 million dollars of our tax money. No free nation on earth would give them a cent, but you gave them a gift of $48 million because they said they had "banned all drugs."
Because your drug war was more important than the actual war the Taliban had inflicted on its own people, you helped to fund the regime who had given refuge to the very man you now say is responsible for killing my friend on that plane and for killing the friends of families of thousands and thousands of people. How dare you talk about more killing now! Shame! Shame! Shame! Explain your actions in support of the Taliban! Tell us why your father and his partner Mr. Reagan trained Mr. bin Laden in how to be a terrorist!
Am I angry? You bet I am. I am an American citizen, and my leaders have taken my money to fund mass murder. And now my friends have paid the price with their lives.
Keep crying, Mr. Bush. Keep running to Omaha or wherever it is you go while others die, just as you ran during Vietnam while claiming to be "on duty" in the Air National Guard. Nine boys from my high school died in that miserable war. And now you are asking for "unity" so you can start another one? Do not insult me or my country like this!
Yes, I, too, will be in church at noon today, on this national day of mourning. I will pray for you, and us, and the children of New York, and the children of this sad and ugly world ...
Michael Moore
Today's attacks were major atrocities. In terms of number of victims they do not reach the level of many others, for example, Clinton's bombing of the Sudan with no credible pretext, destroying half its pharmaceutical supplies and probably killing tens of thousands of people (no one knows, because the US blocked an inquiry at the UN and no one cares to pursue it). Not to speak of much worse cases, which easily come to mind. But that this was a horrendous crime is not in doubt. The primary victims, as usual, were working people: janitors, secretaries, firemen, etc. It is likely to prove to be a crushing blow to Palestinians and other poor and oppressed people. It is also likely to lead to harsh security controls, with many possible ramifications for undermining civil liberties and internal freedom.
The events reveal, dramatically, the foolishness of ideas about "missile defense." As has been obvious all along, and pointed out repeatedly by strategic analysts, if anyone wants to cause immense damage in the US, including weapons of mass destruction, they are highly unlikely to launch a missile attack, thus guaranteeing their immediate destruction. There are innumerable easier ways that are basically unstoppable. But today's events will, nonetheless, be used to increase the pressure to develop these systems and put them into place.
"Defense" is a thin cover for plans for militarization of space, and with good PR, even the flimsiest arguments will carry some weight among a frightened public. In short, the crime is a gift to the hard jingoist right, those who hope to use force to control their domains. That is even putting aside the likely US actions, and what they will trigger -- possibly more attacks like this one, or worse. The prospects ahead are even more ominous than they appeared to be before the latest atrocities.

That was awhile ago.
Is the system still in place as normal?

The 2013 Lexus ES350 has undergone a complete redesign for its launch. This is the first redesign since the ES350 was first released in 2007. It has been revamped inside and out, and has grown in both width and length over the previous model.
Behind the Lexus RX SUV, the ES350 midsize sedan is the company's second bestseller in its model lineup. The 2013 Lexus ES350 will appeal to those drivers looking for a sedan that provides a quiet and comfortable ride, a cabin filled with luxury amenities, and a strong reliability record.
New For 2013
The 2013 Lexus ES350 is all-new for the 2013 launch. Changes of note for this new model of the midsize sedan include:
- A longer and wider wheelbase
- Updated exterior styling, including a new front grille and fresh sheet metal
- Upgraded interior materials
- An increased list of amenities included as standard
- Better fuel economy
From the front of the 2013 Lexus ES350, it is easy to see that this is a new generation of the midsize sedan. The front grille has been replaced with the new signature spindle grille that Lexus is using for the front of all of its newly redesigned vehicles. The new redesign also results in an overall gain in length of one inch with a gain of about 1.8 inches in length of the wheelbase.
From the side and rear, the shape of the 2013 Lexus EX350 has also changed. Flared fenders have been added to the side of the sedan, a spoiler has been added to the lid of the trunk, and the rear bumper has been revised. Seventeen-inch alloy wheels are fitted as standard, while 18-inch wheels are available.
Interior & Cargo
While the changes to the exterior of the 2013 Lexus ES350 may not seem significant, the interior has been completely redesigned. Legroom in the back seat is improved due to the increase in length of the wheelbase and sedan. The redesign of the dash leads to an increased spaciousness in the front seats as well, due to the corners being pushed out. Previously, the interior of the ES350 appeared dated, but the redesign has included better materials and a modern design that is much more appealing.
Only one trim level is available for the 2013 Lexus ES350, and standard features include a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, dual-zone climate control system, ten-way power front seats with power lumbar, a power moon roof that tilts and slides, an eight-speaker CD/MP3 stereo system with Sirius satellite radio, and Bluetooth connectivity. A navigation system and leather upholstery are available as options.
Standard safety features for the 2013 Lexus ES350 are anti-lock brakes, an electronic stability system, traction control, brake assist, and ten airbags, including side-impact airbags for the front and rear seats and a driver's knee airbag. Adaptive cruise control, a lane departure system, a rearview camera, and a blind-spot warning system are all safety options.
Driving Experience
Under the hood, the 2013 Lexus ES350 is powered by a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine that provides 268 horsepower (hp) and 248 lb-ft of torque, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission. The fuel economy for this front-wheel-drive sedan has been improved through the use of new, lower-friction materials within the powertrain components. The EPA rating for the 2013 Lexus ES350 is 21/31 mpg city/highway.
Although the 2013 Lexus ES350 has undergone a redesign, it drives in much the same manner as previous models. This is a sedan that is known for its soft, comfortable, and very quiet ride, which is preserved in this latest model. Acceleration is swift from a stop and while traveling at speed on the highway, and it allows for passing and maneuvering comfortably at speed.
The 2013 Lexus ES350 is now equipped with a new dial above the shift knob that allows the driver to set the car driving mode to Normal, Sport, or Eco. The setting chosen determines the amount of power supplied, as well as the fuel efficiency of the sedan. Even when set to the Sport mode, the performance is still relatively soft in comparison to other cars within its class.
Key Competitors For The 2013 Lexus ES350
- 2013 Acura TL
- 2013 BMW 328i
- 2013 Lincoln MKZ
- 2013 Cadillac XTS
- 2013 Infiniti G37

SWOT Analysis, is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective.
The aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are important to achieving the objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information into two main categories:
Internal factors â The strengths and weaknesses internal to the organization.
External factors â The opportunities and threats presented by the external environment.
The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their impact

I have the calcium checker as well I hope Hanna comes out with a nitrate checker soon. Highly recommend. WAY Easier to then other kits, but a few quirks By tommyd193 on 2/21/2013 tommyd193 would recommend this product to a friend This kit is far better and way easier to know what your level is, I just wish I knew there were only 6 tests that came with the kit or I would have ordered more. As mentioned in other reviews getting the powder out of the packet is tricky and if you take too long then your unit shuts off on you, but once you master it and develop your own knack then it's well worth the purchase! It gives a number. No guessing By Kevin on 2/19/2013 Kevin would recommend this product to a friend Tester is very good. I like it because it gives me a number instead of the color chart that the other tests uses. Only problem with the tester is the green cap can be broken away from the base part. I'm not a very hard handed person but my cap broke off on the first use of opening it. Not sure, the cap could have already been broken. But i have still used my tester i just snap the cap back on. Just plain awesome By Nicholas on 2/18/2013 Nicholas would recommend this product to a friend This is the single best test equipment investment I've made thus far. My other phosphate kit was worthless compared to this. The only thing I don't really like about this is the packets are a pain to empty into the test vial. why not just sell the reagent in a little container with a little spoon like others do? Easy to use By Miles on 2/13/2013 Miles would recommend this product to a friend This test is incredibly easy to use, but has a down side. Getting all of the reagent out of the pouch and into the vial can sometimes prove tricky. check out the video on the Hanna Checker website to learn how to do it right. The process is very simple, just not super intuitive. Other wise this product is great, I use this in conjunction with GFO to keep my system free of phosphate. Awesome product By Jeremy on 2/11/2013 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend Much easier to use then trying to match colors on liquid tests, I deducted 1 star for the poor reagent package design, can be tricky to add if you rip the package open to much. awesome By Gary on 2/3/2013 Gary would recommend this product to a friend Best phosphate kit available, hands down. There is a learning curve By SCUBAFreaky on 1/30/2013 SCUBAFreaky would recommend this product to a friend This is by far the best test kit for measuring Phosphate, but there is a learning curve. As other posters have said there is an art to getting all of the powder in the curvette, but once you get the hang of it, it's no longer an issue. Also this thing will time out after 2 minutes during the phase when you are dissolving the powder. Once it times out, you pretty much have to start over due to the baseline scan. Also be aware that it only comes with 6 reagent packets...and you'll blow through those very quickly due to the learning curve. Unlike other posters, I'm having trouble getting consistent measurements, but all that said, the Hanna Checker is best phosphate checker I've used so far. Works Great and Easy to use if you open the package on two sides By Charles on 1/24/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend Just cut two sides off of the regents package and them trim the corner off at the tip, open and pours in with ease. Do this before you put the water in the machine andit won't time out. GREAT By Samuel on 1/3/2013 Samuel would recommend this product to a friend I was using Salifert test kit and I could never get a accurate reading. Now with this Checker I have a way better idea as to what my phosphate levels are. I gave it 4 stars because it is a little hard to get the powder in the vial the first time but after some practice its no biggie. PHOS-tastic!! By shaungee on 12/28/2012 shaungee would recommend this product to a friend Picked this up on a black Friday doorbuster deal, and couldn't be happier. There was a little learning to be done on how to use the device, but once that was done, I can quickly and confidently test my levels in my tank and make necessary adjustment. Also BRS came through on shipping with a 2 day turnaround, Amazing! Consistent and accurate!! By Ryan on 12/22/2012 Ryan would recommend this product to a friend Consistent and accurate!! If you are keeping corals you should get this. The test kit that I have been using always tests way lower than the hanna checker so I've always thought my phosphates were more in check than they were. Now that I know where my phosphates actually are. I have been able to get them more under control and have noticed an increase in coral growth already. Thank goodness By Joseph on 12/22/2012 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend Phosphates fianlly easy to check. I love all 4 that I use. Just waiting for the nitrae checker to come out or even better an all in one. Awesome By Chad on 12/15/2012 Chad would recommend this product to a friend Hanna Checkers are downright awesome. Accurate, digital, takes less than five minutes. They are the best meters I have every used. Ok but be careful By Grant on 12/5/2012 Grant would recommend this product to a friend In the instructions it says after adding the reagent to shake for 2 minutes. But the colorimeter turns off after 2 minutes. So I have wasted 2 of the reagent packets out of the few that come with it and have yet to accurately test my water. Obviously a user error but just a tip. definately worth the purchase By DANIEL on 12/1/2012 DANIEL would recommend this product to a friend Love the precision of the digital readout. No more guessing color shades. 5 stars. Minor item(s) - only 6 tests provided with kit. Also, small amount of effort to learn how to pop off plastic lid cleanly. Check it, mate By Old Salt on 11/30/2012 Old Salt would recommend this product to a friend Well worth the investment and once you get the hang of dumping in the powder--can be dicey at first--it's very easy to use. You do have to keep buying the reagent, but I use my checker sparingly, mainly to check up on an API kit that I use 2-3 times a week. The combination allows me to keep a close eye on phosphates. Great Product By william on 11/28/2012 william would recommend this product to a friend I currently have the Calcium, ALK, and Phosphate checkers, and they make testing the water amazingly easy. I was using ELOS kits before hand and these take 1/2 the time the others do. I still test with elos bi-monthly to ensure the Hanna's are still reading correctly. Wish they had more regents with the initial purchase. OK but hard to use properly By Andy on 11/28/2012 Andy would recommend this product to a friend I only recommend this because the alternatives are horrible or a lot more money. It is very hard to get all of the powder reagent out of the package, and opening the package properly and actually getting the powder in the vial is an art unto itself. This part will take you a few minutes alone. Then the joy begins when you try to get the powder to actually dissolve, and then stop bubbles on the cuvette. If you don't get it dissolved or free from bubbles, the results will be wildly off. I tested the same water with bubbles on the glass and without. With bubbles it was saying the phosphate was 5ppm! Without bubbles, 0.01ppm. Great Product By Charles on 11/27/2012 Charles would recommend this product to a friend Great product that is easy to use. Reliable phosphate tester and you wont have to guess have you phosphate really is. Not Bad By Justin on 11/17/2012 Justin would recommend this product to a friend I found it difficult to use when I first started. Once you get the hang of it, it will give you an accurate reading. No more guesswork By Subodh on 11/13/2012 Subodh would recommend this product to a friend ok, I'm assuming everyone did their homework and the numbers shown by this thing are perfect and tested. Just kidding, I cross-checked with the Red Sea kit. Hanna showed me 0.13 and red Sea Phosphate check came up between 0 and .25 Close enough for me. I did take the one star off because - how the heck is one supposed to get all the darn powder from that pouch into the vial with that tiny a hole? I'll tell you how but not before I had to rack my brains. Get a clean sheet of A4 size paper, tear open the sachet, drop everything onto the paper, now lift it up and make a cone shape, drop the powder into the vial. I almost took off another point for packing just 6 sachets. But well, it works well, instructions are clear and concise and no more asking the wife to read the damn colors. I guess I'll try the other Hannah checkers as well. might work might not By brad on 11/6/2012 brad wouldn't recommend this product to a friend hell i just got my hanna hi 713 today all excited to test phosphate. so i open it and go step by step testing my water waiting on this high reading to show up because i have algae growing every where. well is shows 0.00 on test one I think well that cant be right so i test it again same deal 0.00 ok so i text my tap water 0.03 so there is 3 of my 6 test wasted imo, I know the tank has po4 i got this with a gof reactor to test weekly to me it dont seem to work Write Your Own Review You're reviewing: Phosphate Low Range Colorimeter HI713 Hanna Checker HC - Fresh & Marine Water *How do you rate this product? *Would you recommend this product to a friend?

5S-ing the Home
A few years ago my rent increased dramatically and I had to find a new place and move while very busy with work. My new home had very little storage space and unpacking was done hastily, so I didn't put much of a system in place. I lived there for two years and never took the time to put together a solid system. Pans weren't near the stove, cups were far from the sink, and coming out of the shower in need of a fresh towel meant raining onto carpet while running to a distant hall closet. Everything I needed always seemed to be far away and I spent a lot of time running around unnecessarily.
Step 1: Sort and Red Tag (in theory)
Step 2: Set in Order (don't just relocate the garbage)
Step 3: Shine, or at least make it less grubby
Step 4: Standardize and Schedule
Step 5: Sustain

continually forking out money to implement a safety program, purchase engineering controls and PPE, or paying fines to OSHA after an inspection. However, complying with OSHA's regulations and establishing an effective safety program at your company will undoubtedly reduce workplace injuries and illnesses, improve employee morale, and increase profitability!

After an already-decorated career at lightweight, MMA notable Shinya Aoki is apparently aiming for a dual-division run as he enters his 30s.
Officials today announced Aoki (33-6), ONE FC's lightweight champion, will drop to featherweight to fight Cody Stevens (11-5-1) in a non-title bout at "ONE FC 11: Total Domination."
The event takes place Oct. 18 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore. Aoki and Stevens co-headline the event, which streams via online pay-per-view.
"I am dropping down to featherweight for the first time in my career in this fight," Aoki stated. "I feel stronger and faster at this weight, and I have my sights set on competing against all the top featherweights and lightweights that ONE FC puts in front of me. The weight cut will not be a problem for me, and I am definitely ready for this challenge."

SLU Cancer Center Investigates New Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer
$50,000 Grant from Lottie Caroline Hardy Charitable Trust Funds Research
ST. LOUIS -- Saint Louis University Cancer Center has received a $50,000 grant from the Lottie Caroline Hardy Charitable Trust to study a therapy that targets head and neck cancer cells while sparing those that are healthy.
|Govindaswamy Chinnadurai, Ph.D., is studying a new therapy for head and neck cancer. Photo by Steve Dolan
Govindaswamy Chinnadurai, Ph.D., professor of molecular virology at Saint Louis University, is using an animal model of head and neck cancer to conduct his research. He is using a viral vector, which is a modified virus that carries specific mutations, that selectively destroys cancer cells without affecting normal cells.
This strategy may be particularly promising to treat a specific type of head and neck cancer that does not respond well to traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Head and neck cancers are becoming a major malignant disease in the U.S., accounting for more than 2 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 90 percent of head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinoma, and more than 500,000 new cases of these cancers are detected worldwide each year.
In the last 15 years, there has been a dramatic increase in head and neck squamous cell cancers that are related to Human Papillomavirus (HPV). While most squamous cell carcinoma is treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy regiments, certain subgroups of HPV-related head and neck cancers do not respond well to the standard treatments. Patients who undergo the standard treatments frequently relapse, and the cancer often is fatal.
In addition, traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy of sensitive organs, such as the voice box, causes scar tissue which prevents a person from speaking normally.
Chinnadurai has developed a novel viral vector that could be used to kill HPV-related squamous cell carcinoma in the neck. He will study the treatment, called an oncolytic adenovirus vector, in an animal model to assess its ability to destroy the tumor while preserving healthy tissue.
"Depending on the results, we may make an application to the FDA for a clinical trial of our vector for both treatments of HPV-negative and HPV-positive human head and neck cancers," Chinnadurai said.
A service of Saint Louis University, the Saint Louis University Cancer Center combines compassionate and individualized care with the latest advances in research, prevention and education.

16 and Pregnant's Danielle Cunningham Reveals Growing Baby Bump! (PHOTO)
Teen Mom Land is rife with a group of young mothers who have recently gotten pregnant for a second time. First, Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert announced they were expecting another little girl after the couple sadly suffered a miscarriage back in January 2012.
Leah reportedly gave birth to the little tyke last week, but has yet to confirm these rumors.
Some members of the 16 and Pregnant family also got pregnant again, including Kristina Head, Nikkole Paulun, and Brooke Smitherman-Tarrant.
And now 16 and Pregnant's Danielle Cunningham is expecting another baby and she's overflowing with excitement. How do we know?
Today she posted this adorable pic of her growing bump saying, "woah. big booty judy."
We really couldn't have said it better ourselves.
Danni's expecting a little girl who she plans to name Jayleigh Danielle. Her first child — son Jamie Jr. — was named after his father (aka Jamie Sr.).

Whether it's a piece of antique furniture, patterned wallpaper, bathroom fixtures or an expensive rug, every so often a client insists you work an existing feature into the space you're designing for them. And if that element is a particular color, you're left with a peculiar challenge: to give them the change they've asked for while working within color parameters you didn't agree to.
The circumstances can vary, but the choice is ultimately quite simple, according to Glen Boudreaux of Dallas-based Glen Boudreaux & Associates: "You either have to use it as part of your color scheme, or get rid of it."
Sometimes the accidental color leads to very satisfying results. Boudreaux remodeled several bathrooms in a home where two needed such extensive overhauls that, for time and budget reasons, the third had to be redone as economically as possible. It included mint green and dark purple tile accents that Boudreaux loved, but the fixtures were an incongruous light purple, and were rusty and damaged as well. He replaced the metal parts and had the bathtub, toilet and sink re-enameled, which covered all the damage and allowed him to tweak the purple a bit so it coordinated with the rest of the room. "It looked like brand new fixtures," he says. He was able to retain the feel of the English Tudor-style house, while improving the colors and giving it a face-lift.
There's always a way to work around existing colors, says Boudreaux; what's more important is divining the reason behind the client's attachment to a piece. "You have to know how to ask questions – dig deeper than what's on the surface of why they don't want to change it," he says.
In one case, a client desperately wanted to keep a chair that belonged to her mother. The colors didn't work with what Boudreaux had planned for the room, and the springs were so badly broken that no one could sit in it. "Sentimental value is the most common reason for a client wanting to keep something," Boudreaux says. "So, you really need to be careful talking about these things – you don't want to offend your client, especially if someone's just passed away."
After further conversation, he discovered that the client was amenable to reupholstering the chair, as long as the integrity of the wooden frame was maintained. When she saw (and was able to sit on) the result, Boudreaux says, she exclaimed, "It looks so much more like my mother's now." In this case, the sentimental value was intact, the color fit the ultimate design, and the chair was once again functional.
Other times, there's no way of working with a color, and the client must simply be talked out of it. Boudreaux had a client in love with her dining room walls, which were painted a dark burgundy with black glazing over it. The problem? She'd hired him to lighten up the house, using lots of neutrals. Boudreaux had to persist in convincing the client that the dark-walled dining room simply would not work with what she wanted him to do in the rest of the house – it would be too jarring. "It took some time to talk her out of it," he says, but with detailed explanation, she finally saw the light. "If they don't change it, it's up to us as design pros to let them know what the impact will be."
Sometimes you can let your finished design do the persuading for you. Boudreaux had a client who didn't want to change the bathroom off the master bedroom he was redesigning – but the bathroom was covered in "godawful" wallpaper. So Boudreaux went ahead with the master bedroom, and after seeing the results, the client realized on her own that the bathroom wallpaper had to go.
In another home, the clients didn't want to replace the dingy sculptured carpet, though not because of an attachment to it. "All they could see was the dollar amount to replace it," Boudreaux says. Once he knew the reason, he discussed methods of saving money in other areas of the redesign, and was ultimately able to replace it and still give them what they wanted. Another client had a similar hesitation over replacing dated harvest-gold laminate countertops, thinking the only replacement option would be some sort of expensive stone surface. Boudreaux found them another laminate, one that looked a lot like wire-brushed granite, and the client was happy to make the change. If money is the issue, says Boudreaux, "you just have to show them a way to change it without it costing more."
If the client is more concerned with keeping a particular colorful piece than showing it off, you can try moving it to another room or positioning it in a way that minimizes its impact. When another of Boudreaux's clients was moving the master bedroom to another room, they wanted a new robin's-egg-blue color scheme – but they also wanted to keep a rug from the old room, which matched the old décor of regal, rust colors. While Boudreaux was unable to get them to part with the rug, he did get them to agree to put it under the bed, so only the edge showed. "Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war," he says.
On the flip side, sometimes clients may be fixated on getting rid of a colorful element that you think will benefit the overall design. Boudreaux worked on a lakeside house whose occupants owned some chairs, a table and a chest with a hand-painted, scrubbed finish – mossy green with wood showing through in some places. The clients assumed that the old, worn pieces would need to be refinished – until Boudreaux explained that the finish they naturally had was desirable, and that people would pay large sums of money to get something similar. Additionally, the furniture's color dovetailed neatly with his plan to draw in the colors of the outdoors, including the green of the lake. After the rest of the design was complete, the clients agreed that the pieces were perfect just the way they were.
When doing an expensive overhaul of an entire home, you should look at the elements that are already there and see what you can work with, thereby saving money for what really needs changing. Boudreaux recently started redesigning a California Spanish-style bungalow in which the client wants classic clean lines and neutral colors, with just a hint of detail in the accents.
During the consultation, the client immediately pointed out the fireplace in the living room as the first piece that needed replacing. Boudreaux looked at it and saw clean lines, with a little scroll design in the center, and a buff color that could easily work with the warm neutral palette he plans for the home. "She thought it would be the big obstacle to this redesign, but it really fit in," he says. While the fireplace will now dictate the wall colors throughout the open-design first floor, Boudreaux has only to adjust his planned colors a little bit so that they coordinate. With everything else that needs to be done, it's a relief to find the fireplace is usable, because replacing it would have meant taking dollars away from the rest of the house.
The key with color challenges such as these, says Boudreaux, is to get to the root of why a client wants to keep – or get rid of – a particular piece. Try to look forward to the project's completion to see how existing elements can work in the overall vision. If you have a problem with something the client wants to keep, or vice versa, see if there's a way to move or alter a piece minimally, so you'll both be satisfied with the finished product. If you ask the right questions and get to the heart of the issue, the solution will present itself.
Michael Scott, design director of Robb & Stucky Interiors, Scottsdale, Ariz., would agree. "Never say 'never,' as sometimes what is first perceived as a mistake can turn into a blessing and be the icing on the cake. When you use something of a client that is precious and has sentimental value, and you make it look better than they ever thought it would, you will have a client for life."

Media Temple Magento Installation Guide - Grid Service
This is an old revision of the document!
MediaTemple Installation Guide - Grid Service
This article is a quick step-by-step tutorial on installing Magento on a Media Temple (mt) Grid Service (gs) account. If you have a Dedicated-Virtual Server (dv) account you'd read our How to install Magento on Media Temple (mt) Dedicated-Virtual Server (dv) tutorial.
Download a Magento installation package
You can find the latest Magento installation packages at the Magento Download page.
There you can select a preferred archive format and what version - light or full one (that includes sample data - stores, categories, products, images, etc) you want to download.
Upload Magento to your server
Upload the extracted files to your web server via FTP (if you have SSH access and are comfortable with the command line, check out this wiki post)
How to get FTP/SSH login information?
Set necessary permissions
Set up necessary permissions on files and folders via your FTP client or your Account Center File Manager interface. Ensure that the file magento/var/.htaccess, the directories magento/app/etc, magento/var, and all the directories under magento/media are writable by the web server
Switch to PHP 5
Magento supports PHP 5.2.0 or newer, so you have to go to PHP settings section in your Account Center and switch to PHP 5.
Create a MySQL database and user
Go to Manage Databases Account Center section, create a database, a MySQL user, and password that Magento will use.
Write down all those settings (including database hostname) - you will need that information while installing Magento.
Run the installation wizard
Use your web browser to surf to any Magento page and you will be forwarded to the installation wizard.
Magento is distributed under the Open Software License (OSL 3.0), you will have to read the license and confirm that you agree on the first step. Check out License / Trademarks FAQ for more information.
Specify database connection and URLs
Put database connection data into the form fields, check whether installation wizard correctly determined your web-host name and path.
HTTPS URL validation
While installing Magento on (gs) account you'll get an error message on secure connection url validation (prior to and including version 0.6.13160 - that will be fixed in the release that follow), so just check on Skip URL validation checkbox and proceed to the final step.
Create an administrator account
Enjoy using Magento!
Known Issues
In case you have problems with installing a full Magento package (that includes test data - products, categories, images, etc) on (mt) Grid-Service account due to some limitations of running large MySQL queries, you can use the following workaround:
- Go through the installation process as described above (go to Magento URL and proceed installation wizard steps)
- In case you get exceptions on the front-end after installation, run this SQL-script on your database (either via phpMyAdmin or any other tool you prefer to work with)
- After running the script go to any Magento page - database upgrade will complete.
- That script will completely clean your database. Do not run it if you already have some data in your database!
- Your Magento administrator account will also be reset. Please use login admin and password 123123 to sign in to the admin and update your administrator account.
- That workaround can be applied before installing any Magento version starting from the first one till the latest 0.6.13160. We are working on the fixes needed to install a full version on (mt) (gs) and we'll include them in following releases, check the Release Notes - there will be a word about it once those fixes are integrated into packages.

PASM is an electronic damping control system and it actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel based on road conditions and driving style. This reduces body movement and therefore increases comfort in all four seats.
How does PASM work? By means of a button on the center console, you can select one of the three modes: Comfort, SPORT or SPORT PLUS. Sensors record the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking and rapid cornering or uneven road surfaces. The control unit evaluates the driving conditions and modifies the damping force on each of the wheels in accordance with the selected mode. You can feel the result: increased driving stability, more comfort and improved performance.
Optional for the Panamera and Panamera 4, standard in all other models.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that five weeks into their grueling postseason head coaching search, they have finally hired Todd Richards as their permanent coach. Highly regarded as the one of the marquis job openings in the NHL this offseason, the team was forced to reject offers from Bruce Boudreau, Mike Babcock, and John Tortorella.
"Ultimately, we wanted the guy with the least amount of professional experience and success," said General Manager Scott Howson. "We didn't have the resources or budget to install a trophy cabinet in the coach's office, so hiring Todd saved us a lot of money." Added Howson, "The organization did take into careful consideration the tens of thousands of opinions submitted by the great fans of Columbus, but Todd best exemplifies what the great city of Columbus is known for: very little."
"After all," added advisor Craig Patrick, "This is about failing. Every morning Scott and I ask ourselves – what mistakes can we make today? We're very confident in this one."
