Happy birthday, Katey Sagal: Gemma's best 'Sons of Anarchy' GIFsAdd to Favorites | Sons of Anarchy
It's a milestone birthday for Katey Sagal, who plays resident biker queen Gemma Teller Morrow on "Sons of Anarchy." The actress turns 60 years old Sunday (Jan. 10) and is just as vicious as ever in the role.
While Sagal first rose to fame as Peg Bundy on "Married ... With Children," it's Gemma that has brought her the most acclaim, which is well-deserved. Below, take a look at some of Gemma's best moments on the show in GIF form, proving once and for all why she's in charge. Be warned, the GIFs contain spoilers through the Season 6 finale.
There was that time she let a skateboard do the talking for her.
Of course, even that wasn't her fault.
She's also not very afraid of authority.
Not even the ATF can calm her down.
She's not above threats to get what she wants.
If threats don't do the trick, she won't hesitate to follow through.
Some people think they are safe but that reality is just an illusion.
No matter how fragile she may seem now and then, Gemma is always in control.

text: One of the tricks to effective and effective residential home heating setup is figuring out the best dimension system for an offered property. Also if the system you are replacing is simply 10 years aged, your brand-new system will likely be a lot more efficient, particularly if you have actually done any type of weatherproofing in your house during then. SEO marketing for your heating business can help you to promote your services and reach more clients. This suggests that it's less complicated compared to ever before to oversize a residential heating installment, which is inefficient as well as more expensive to operate. Do not allow your heating specialist just take the size specified on the present unit's nameplate. Do a correct calculation. Otherwise, the service provider will use the exact same dimension as your last system or go up a size, which's not a sufficient guess.

Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman has pledged his future to the club after he ended the season on a high.
The 21-year-old, who has attracted admiring glances from a host of rival clubs, took his tally for the campaign to 18 with a brace in Saturday's 4-0 win at Morecambe.
"I've got a year left on my deal and I don't see myself playing anywhere else," said Pitman.
"I've enjoyed life with the manager, Eddie Howe, because he's done a great job."

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsProject Vehicles
1986 Mustang T-Top - Plumb Assignments - The Project Car
Air IntakeFor most engines, if fuel is one side of the induction coin, air, or inlet-air, is the other. Since we'll be boosting the air charge for our stroker with a 15-plus pound boost blast from Paxton's Novi 2000 supercharger, it's imperative we get as much air as possible into the blower and make sure its exit to the throttle body is smooth and direct.
The small-diameter tubing provided in the Novi 2000 Tuner Kit is perfect for achieving eight or so pounds of boost. Since our plan is to make boost above and beyond that range, we decided to use tubes (4-inch inlet, 3-inch discharge) that will be more efficient than those provided in the blower kit. Danny Akre of Fast Intentions Performance Exhaust in Northridge, California, is the mastermind behind the stainless steel pieces of art seen here. While we watched Danny plumb our supercharger's airflow, he explained the importance of keeping the path simple. "You want to have as small a number of bends in the tubes as possible when you set up inlet-air systems." A direct-as-possible route maintains a steady air charge, which is what we want for our blown combination.
ExhaustAs you may already know, fuel and air are burned during the combustion process. Exhaust is the basic end-product of combustion; based on our engine's makeup ("Big-Bore Score," Dec. '06, p. 58), we'll need an exhaust system that will quickly and efficiently scavenge gasses out of the exhaust ports of the high-flowing AFR 205s that are bolted on the coupe's 347.
A really good, high-performance exhaust system for a blown 'Stang is based around 131/44-inch headers. Most headers are made of mild steel, but the exhaust plumbing can be crafted out of stainless steel or aluminized steel tubes. Both have greater corrosion resistance.
We're happy about the way we've been able to bring new Fox Mustang technology to the forefront during the last few months.
One of the nuances of using raised-port cylinder heads is the limited selection of "shelf" headers available. While they're not true high ports, AFR's street/strip heads have exhaust ports that are approximately 11/48 inch taller than stock cylinder heads. To put it bluntly, enthusiasts usually have to get custom headers made, which can be costly.
Thanks to our project T-top coupe, JBA now offers stainless steel, bolt-on, one-piece long-tube headers for '79-'93 'Stangs with AFR's 205 or 225 cylinder heads. That's right, they're not custom or one-off; they're affordable 131/44-inch headers on the shelf.
Due to an insane schedule around the time these new headers were developed, we couldn't cover the step-by-step build process. But the finished products are bad to the bone, and are complemented by a 3-inch, X-shape crossover tube and JBA's stainless steel mufflers.
CoolingThe cooling system is a major player in our all-world 'Stang. To effectively handle its street driving and dragstrip assignments, the car needs equipment to keep both systems operating at their optimal temperatures by removing heat from the engine and the transmission.
We faced a challenge with our Mustang's cooling system. Since we're using a beltdrive setup for the cam timing, and with our car not having power steering, air conditioning or other serpentine-belt-dependent accessories, we have to use an electric water pump for our engine.
In any vehicle, the water pump transfers coolant from the radiator, through the engine, and back into the radiator. Controlling heat is always an issue for street 'Stangs, especially those similar to ours that are driven daily in high-temperature areas. To supplement the electric water pump, we know our combination requires the superior cooling ability of an aluminum radiator.
We spoke with the folks at Afco Racing Products and Meziere Enterprises about combining an electric pump with a bolt-in aluminum radiator for Fox 'Stangs, and the part they've developed is outstanding. Here is another Fox-specific innovation that has come about as a result of this project effort: Afco's direct-fit, Performance Series two-row aluminum radiator (PN 80270FN), featuring an optional Meziere high-flow, remote electric water pump (PN WP362) that's built into the radiator. We have seen this type of cooling technology on some NMRA Pro 5.0 Mustangs, but the big difference is that those systems use wafer-thin radiators and fans since they only have to support 6- and 7-second quarter-mile blasts.
Our coupe is being built for the quarter and the road, so we're pumped that this type of street-specific, racing-influenced cooling product featuring a standard-sized 'Stang radiator, high-flow pump, and large cooling fan/shroud has been created and combined in one unit.

IMPLANTS coated with slippery polymers could help to prevent life-threatening complications after heart surgery. Surgeons already treat blocked arteries by wedging them open with stainless steel tubes called stents. But in a quarter of patients, blood clots accumulate around the stents, sometimes reblocking the arteries and causing a heart attack.
Now researchers in the US have shown in tests on animals that coating stents with slippery polymers prevents the formation of blood clots. "We saw an 80 to 90 per cent reduction in platelet aggregation compared with uncoated controls," says Nic Chronos, who has been evaluating the polymers for two years at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Chronos will reveal the full results of the preclinical trials next week at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association in Anaheim, California. He hopes to begin human trials of the coated stents early next year, when they will be used to ...

Students and employers do not share John Patten's enthusiasm for science A levels and degrees, according to the education department's report* on the country's supply of scientists. The proportion of students qualified to take science degrees is shrinking, while employers are certainly not falling over themselves to hire those science graduates who are seeking work.
The consultation paper takes the first detailed look for more than a decade at the flow of science students from school to university and onto the job market. On the plus side, between 1980 and 1993, the proportion of students leaving school or further education college with at least one A level in science increased from 8 per cent to 11 per cent. But over the same period, the proportion of A-level students studying science alone has halved to 15 per cent.
The opposing trends are explained by a rise in the proportion of students ...

Digital Photography can be very creative. It brings new and exciting features to our lives. It also comes with its own learning process.
Knowing basic bits of information about your digital image such as how pixels work from your camera to your output are among photography fundamentals.
The angle and the strength of light and good understanding of basic exposure give you total control of your digital camera. If you don't understand the light for example; it will be difficult to expose the photograph properly and figure out its color balance. The perfect shot that you visualized could be a waste of time.
Understanding other basic concepts like resolution, dimension, color density, and how gray-scale works let you have more fun while taking pictures and getting that better shot.
Digital cameras capture and rebuild the image as
pixel bricks. A single pixel is the basic building block of
an image.
The number of PIXELS is the main factor in image quality. The first characteristic of a pixel is its square shape so they can stack together like a brick wall.
The second characteristic is the pixel size.
The more pixels that are present on the image means that the pixels have to be smaller in size. If the pixels are too small this might create unwanted image noise.
Don't get confused and just know that the more pixels squeezed into a given place equals more problems.
Resolution defines the pixel size. It states how
many pixels will fit in a given area of an image.
It is measured in millions of pixels, known as megapixels.
Resolution controls image dimension and it's quality.
Digital cameras capture black and white as values
1 and 0 (B & W mode). Digital camera then uses these values
to make the grayscale mode providing varying shades of gray.
In order to generate all the colors digital cameras use a color
A digital Image is made of the RGB spectrum using the 3 channels of Red Green and Blue. Using RGB mode colors are generated from the originally captured grey tones.
Understanding Color Density tells us how much information is in a picture, it is also related to the file size. For example converting an RGB image to a Grayscale image will reduce the size of the image because you have lowered the color density.
Capturing more shades of gray means better quality images.
How do we get more shades? Many cameras will capture 8 bits that will give 256 shades of gray.
High quality 16 bit cameras give many more shades of gray and therefore produce higher quality images.
In terms of image quality ISO settings play an important role.
ISO (International Organization for Standardization) measures
the photograph's sensitivity to light. Sensitivity ranges between
ISO 50 up to ISO 3,200 or even higher.
The downside to higher ISO is that it can add "NOISE" (the grainy look) to your images.
For example a picture using ISO 1,600 produces a lot more noise which can be visible in the dark areas of an image.
In digital photography the histogram setting is a tool that displays the tonal values of the image. It is a graph that helps to expose photos properly. With the help of the histogram you can make estimations on whether the image will be flat or have contrast. An overexposed image will lose detail in the highlights and an underexposed image will lose detail in the shadows.

Troubleshoot Tuesday: No StrongVPN Zip File
In case you missed last weeks tech alert, here is a recap! StrongVPN Open VPN customers logging in to change their Open VPN server will notice a big change. As always, customers should log into dashboard and click "View Greeting" to download their configuration. The old page looked similar to this:
Recently, this structure changed. No longer does viewing an Open VPN greeting give you a zip file, seen above. Now when a customer clicks the "View Greeting" for their Open VPN account, they will see a page like this:
Sabai Technology customers who plan on using their OpenVPN on a Sabai VPN Router should choose the first button, "Get OpenVPN config file." With a Sabai VPN Router for StrongVPN, there is no need for the more complicated and advanced DDWRT config file.
With this new system, there is even an option to have the config file emailed directly to your inbox, in case you don't want to set it up immediately. And, there is no longer an entire zip folder of confusing contents. The single file is the only thing you need to upload to your Sabai VPN Router.
Ruth Petty, world-famous Sabai Tech Support says, "I love this new structure. It is so easy for the customers to use and makes the Sabai VPN Router setup that much easier and faster."
Have you had an experience with the new Open VPN file download style yet? Let us know what you think about it in comments.

At his press conference yesterday:
The president demanded that the Republicans surrender their most powerful bargaining chip—the debt ceiling—first and then "I'm happy to have a conversation about deficit reduction." Translation: Give me everything I want first and then we'll talk.
He threatened that "If congressional Republicans refuse to pay America's bills on time, Social Security checks, and veterans benefits will be delayed." Translation: I'll choose not to pay the bills that will cause maximum political blow-back and the mainstream media will see to it that the Republicans bear all the blame.
He lied that "The last time Republicans in Congress even flirted with this idea, our AAA credit rating was downgraded for the first time in our history." It was, of course, downgraded for the long-term outlook of the federal government's finances, not for any delay in raising the debt ceiling.
He blamed "some House Republicans, [for insisting] that, 'Nope, we gotta do it our way. And if we don't, we simply won't pay America's bills.'" Translation: I get to refuse to negotiate, you don't.
He slandered the party that controls one house of Congress: "But it seems as if what's motivating and propelling at this point some of the House Republicans is more than simply deficit reduction. They have a particular vision about what government should and should not do, so they are suspicious about government's commitments, for example, to make sure that seniors have decent health care as they get older. They have suspicions about Social Security. They have suspicions about whether government should make sure that kids in poverty are getting enough to eat or whether we should be spending money on medical research." Translation: Republicans want children to starve, old ladies to freeze in their beds, and cancer to run rampant.
He implied that Republicans favor "corporate loopholes" in the tax code by saying that "it makes a lot more sense for us to close, for example, corporate loopholes before we go to putting a bigger burden on students or seniors." Translation: My billionaire pals, such as Hollywood, "green energy" crony capitalists, and Chuck Schumer's hedge fund tycoons paying only 15 percent on their nine-figure incomes, keep the loopholes I insisted on including in the fiscal cliff deal. The brain-dead Washington press corps will never call me a hypocrite.
I have only one question. Where did President Obama learn the art of negotiation? Ramallah?

Zumo 550 tracks for UTBDR needed

Joined: Aug 2005

If the dirt roads are on CN you should be able to make most of the tracks work for you on a Zumo 550. I have converted large track files to a route IF IF they are in the CN steet db.
While not a "track" machine, the Zumo 550 does convert tracks to a route but in my experience one can experience problems when moving from pure dirt to mapped streets, especially if tracks are very close to a mapped street. Best to check the results on MS too...indeed MS is needed for some of these machinations so this is an exercise in trip planning prep not for the sticks.
Loaned my Zumo to somebody so can not test UTBDR tracks now. For pure dirt (unmapped) sections you may have to break some of the tracks in two as there is a limit of about 250 via points in a converted route. Based on how the internal Z550 Algorithm "magic" works on the filtered track file may be cut down even more in the conversion to a route.
One of these days I will get a Montana but until then I guess I am in to work arounds.

Mitsubishi Aircraft will unveil pictures of its first MRJ joined fuselage at the Singapore air show tomorrow, as the aircraft programme continues to take shape.
Last September, Mitsubishi showed for the first time parts of the regional jet that have been manufactured. Then, the different sections - forward fuselage, front portion of mid fuselage, aft portion of mid fuselage and aft fuselage - have yet to be mated. These aluminium sections are all manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
Speaking to Flightglobal, Mitsubishi Aircraft president Teruaki Kawai says the different sections have since been joined. He adds that the aircraft's wings are being manufactured and should be delivered in the second quarter, while its first Pratt & Whitney PW1200G geared turbofan engines are also scheduled to be delivered in April.
"The first test aircraft should come together this spring or summer," he says. "The most significant difference from the last half year is that now we have the hardware. We have started putting together a real flying airplane. At the Paris air show we had no hardware to show."
Besides the first flight test aircraft, Mitsubishi says final assembly has also started on its first static test aircraft.
Kawai adds that the aircraft has been designed and manufactured to high precision with tight tolerances, which will ease final assembly. He is hence confident that the aircraft can achieve first flight as scheduled in the second quarter of 2015.
"The assembly guys are surprised that the parts are made with such high tolerance that they fit so well. They have been able to put together the skin and frame without the need for any adjustments," says Kawai.
Last August, Mitsubishi announced a third delay to its programme schedule, pushing first flight of the MRJ90 from end 2013 to the second quarter of 2015, with deliveries to launch customer All Nippon Airways to follow in the second quarter of 2017.

Kilday Hart: Leave the Girl Scouts out of the culture wars

Photo By David Hopper/For the Chronicle
Cassidy Seale, left, loads up Ashlyn Pulliam with cookies their Brownie Troop 13094 was selling at the Kroger store on Woodlands Parkway.
Nearly a half-century ago, a small-town newspaper editor received a letter from his granddaughter giving a lengthy account of her most recent passion: Selling Girl Scout cookies. She described how she raced home from school, jumped into her uniform, filled a battered red wagon with her wares and went door-to-door to with budding businesswoman zeal. Sparing no detail across several scrawled pages, she shared her sales pitch and listed the cookies' varieties and price. Then, in the post-script, she went in for the kill:
"Would you like to buy a box of Girl Scout cookies?"
It's that time of year again, when our post-holiday diets are decimated by elementary-school entrepreneurs bearing addictive Thin Mint and equally irresistible smiles. This weekend, I bought the first of what eventually will be a dozen boxes of expensive cookies that I most certainly do not need but consider my civic duty to purchase. (I am also a patsy for high school band car washes, athletic booster club wrapping paper and Boy Scout popcorn, on the theory that it's a cheap investment in keeping kids out of trouble.)
But this month, it's also nostalgia that drives my decision to open my wallet and forget my waistline. In my mind, Girl Scouts provide an uncomplicated venue where girls can learn to be self-sufficient and strong, and learn the joys of female solidarity. I learned to build a campfire at Camp Agnes Arnold in Conroe and how to come-about on a sunfish at Casa Mare in Seabrook. Surely, in a world bombarded by racy sexual messages, those remain good ways for young girls to spend a weekend.
Those idyllic times are long gone. Girls no longer set off on their own to unload cookies; watchful parents hover as the girls make their sales from portable tables set up at the grocery store or the bank. It's a sad reminder of the evil lurking in our world.
Nor have the Girl Scouts escaped the culture wars. Aggrieved conservatives have accused the group of pushing an ultra-left agenda, somehow - and I admit I don't completely follow the logic of this - promoting lesbianism and Planned Parenthood at the same time. And what evidence substantiates the charge about a gay-Girl Scout alliance? Here's one item cited: Mayor Annise Parker's address to the national convention when it met in Houston in November. In some suspicious minds, a mayor's welcome to visitors to her city carries a scary subtext.
'Black Helicopter' stuff
Meanwhile, the accusation about a Girl Scouts/Planned Parenthood cabal stems from the scouts' sex education component. Rather than crediting both organizations for preventing unwanted pregnancies, the conspiracy theorists want to tarnish the Girl Scouts with grievances they have with Planned Parenthood.
This is Black Helicopter stuff. Someone had to look long and hard to find a reason to vilify an organization whose chief reason for existence is to help its 2.3 million members become "girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place" in a setting usually overseen by their mothers.
In its 100 years of existence, the Girl Scouts have produced such leaders and luminaries as diverse as Laura Bush and Hilary Clinton, Dorthy Hamill and Venus Williams, Lucille Ball and Gloria Steinem. Why? Consider what former Girl Scout CEO Frances Hesselbein related in an interview with Fortune Magazine. When she invited famed management guru Peter Drucker to speak to Girl Scout leaders, he admonished them to realize the importance of their mission:
"You do not appreciate the significance of the work you do, for we live in a society that pretends to care about its children, and it does not. And for a little while you give a little girl a chance to be a girl in a society that forces her to grow up all too soon."
First time in print
It is an exemplary goal. So be kind to the cookie-pushers. They're enjoying a too-brief time in their lives, hopefully learning some self-reliance before society forces them to grow up all too soon. Maybe, their cookie adventures will leave them with skills that will prove useful later in life. That small-town editor, my grandfather, ran my letter in a column he wrote about wily grandchildren - the first time my words appeared in print. And then he stuck a check in the mail to my mother for a box of cookies.

Can I use Iphone 4 Universal Dock adapter with Kicker IK501 Speaker system?
- Asked by Saurabh P from Saint Louis
Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
I wish the 3-pack would come in different colors though, because white doesn't match my iK501 system. But otherwise, it fits perfectly and works well. NOTE: This adapter will not work with a case on the iPhone (even the Apple Bumper).
I know I'm reviving a year-old thread, but I came across this question when I was searching for this answer, and figured I'd answer the question.

Each year CNU contracts a block of rooms at a variety of hotels for the participants of the Annual Meeting. In order to secure sleeping rooms at a lower rate, CNU must guarantee that a certain number of those rooms are filled by meeting attendees each night. If we fail to occupy these rooms, CNU is forced to pay a fee to compensate the lost profit of the hotel. Not reaching our guarantees at the hotels not only will cost CNU but the members and attendees as well. To compensate, CNU would have to raise the registration fees for the meetings, spend less on member services and have limited space at future destinations to convene our Annual Meeting. To allow CNU to continue to add value to the meeting, it is crucial that participants of the CNU Annual Meeting stay at contracted hotel.

Although several useful entry guides to China for business investors have
appeared in recent years, this is the first book to focus on a business
strategy that is becoming increasingly important – and attractive – to
businesses in China: the takeover and restructuring of a listed company. This
practice orientated book has an additional value, moreover, in that it fully
takes into account not only the relevant regulations, most of which were
promulgated or updated from 2005 to 2010, but also the actual structures and
procedures of nearly ninety announced deals, right up to September 2010.
In unprecedented details, the author, an experienced M&A lawyer, describes
China specific takeover and restructuring cases involving foreign investors as
well as state-owned shareholders on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen
Stock Exchange and 'ChiNext'. The presentation and analysis covers such
elements as the following:
• the standard bids, such as tender offers, negotiated transfers, indirect
takeovers and subscriptions for new shares;
• the special accesses available to a foreign investor such as qualifying as a
'strategic investor' or 'qualified foreign institutional investor' (QFII);
• the particular situations where 'state-owned shareholder' (SS) is involved
or where a share exchange occurs, including where a foreign investor
subscribes by injecting, or acquires indirectly via, its 'onshore foreign
invested enterprise';
• the basic restructuring approaches of a listed company – public offering and
private placement; and
• the full meaning and significance of the 'substantial asset restructuring'
(SAR), which may be asset purchases, disposals or swaps, or the SAR in special
cases – merger or separation deals.
The author's illustration of deal structures and step-by-step procedures,
visualized in over 150 charts and checklists, gives the reader a clear path to
follow through what can seem like a forbiddingly difficult process – a path
rendered more secure by the deal histories presented.
For companies with operations in China, or considering such operations, as
well as professionals advising on these companies, this book is a goldmine of
crucially valuable information and guidance. There is nothing else available
that comes close to its authority or expertise in this area.

Unity profiler overhead
When profiling a large scene (4000 autonomous agents simultaneously active) I ran into an odd situation: the Unity profiler reported that about 55% of my frame time was being spent on "Overhead". The profiler documentation had no explanation of what this overhead accounted for. Asking around, I got multiple definitions, ranging from it being the cost of running the profiler …Read More

Make a gift extra special with these pretty butterfly gift tags
Cut small rectangles from plain white card and punch a hole in one corner. Enlarge template to required size and use as a guide to lay out your butterfly design.
We used a narrow leaf for the body and chose petals with pretty details, graduating colour and curved edges for the wings. Try layering smaller petals on top of larger ones to add more colour and interest.
Once assembled, use a very fine layer of PVA glue to stick in place and draw antennae with a fine black pen. Tie a piece of coloured twine through gift tag hole.

Putting Your Spending On a Diet: Practical Ways to "cut the fat" in your budget
Over the last six months I have been on a campaign to lose weight — with moderate success. Since the New Year, I have been on a campaign to reduce spending — also with moderate success. I've noticed that many of the principles that apply to weight management also apply to money management. So, here are some ideas for putting your spending on a diet.
Set reasonable, moderate goals. You cannot expect to be successful on a diet unless you give yourself an attainable goal — the same thing is true for saving money. Start small, say $5 a week. This can be achieved by bringing your lunch to work twice a week. Take the $5 you saved and set it aside. As you become comfortable, increase the goal.
Find other outlets for your emotions. While many people are emotional eaters, many are also emotional spenders. If stress sends you right to Macy's or Wal-Mart for that matter, (or the fridge!) find another outlet. If you need some space or time alone, head to the library or park instead of the mall.
Trim the fat. From your meat and from your budget. It is nearly impossible to track all your spending and savings unless you are writing everything down. While keeping a food journal is helping me learn where my pounds came from, creating a budget and shopping with a list will help you control spending.
Find other rewards. I always treated myself with a splurge when I attained a goal — Ben and Jerry's is good for that. Instead of buying yourself a gift when you've accomplished a task, reward yourself with time — time to read, time to soak in the tub, time to play with your kids.
Avoid temptation. Grocery shopping on an empty stomach or picking up fast food on the way home are sure bets for overindulging. Shopping is loaded with temptations. When you head out, bring a list and stick to it, bring along only the cash you will need, leave the department store credit cards home and don't carry your check book.

The Voice of Collision Repair Professionals
The premier publication for the Canadian autobody
repair and refinish market
CARSTAR Automotive Canada Inc. is proud to announce the opening of its newest store in Atlantic Canada, CARSTAR Amherst, located at 1 Tantramar Court in Amherst, Nova Scotia.
CARSTAR Amherst is owned by multi-CARSTAR store owner Rick Upham, who also owns CARSTAR Truro (Upham's) located at 12229 Hwy #2 in Truro-Belmont, Nova Scotia, and CARSTAR New Glasgow located at 265 Coalburn Rd. in McLellan's Brook, Nova Scotia.
Rick joined the CARSTAR network in 2006 with the opening of CARSTAR New Glasgow. "It was time to join a network that illustrated the strongest support and brand awareness for its partners," says Rick. "After joining and seeing the training programs, marketing campaigns, and quality systems offered by CARSTAR to assist their stores, opening additional CARSTAR locations was an easy decision. I'm proud to be a multi-CARSTAR store owner."
CARSTAR Amherst is a brand new, fully equipped collision centre with top of the line technologies including a Nova Verta Spray Booth and a Car-O-Liner Frame Rack. Housing these technologies within CARSTAR Amherst will ensure minimal cycle time for customers with the highest quality repairs.
"Rick has been a part of the CARSTAR network for many years and has always pushed to be best in class throughout the Eastern Canada market," says Lisa Mercanti-Ladd, executive vice-president at CARSTAR. "Adding another location to his already stellar lineup of collision repair stores is a strong business move. We're looking forward to working with Rick and his staff to creating yet another best in class collision repair centre."
CARSTAR would like to congratulate Rick and his staff on the opening of this new CARSTAR location.

Sapsan high-speed train
First high-speed train within Russia
The sleek Peregrine Falcon, when it begins its renowned hunting dive, achieves speeds of 330 kilometers per hour (205 miles per hour), making it the fastest of all the animals on land or in the air. In December 2009, Russian Railways brought into service the "Sapsan" (Russian for "Peregrine Falcon"). Its maximum speed achieves 250 kilometers per hour (155 miles per hour), and these trains travel between St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod.
The convenience of the train service already rivals air service. Although flight times between Pulkovo Airport outside St. Petersburg and any of the seven airports that service Moscow (Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Myachkovo, Ostafyevo, Bykovo, and Ramenskoye) take only an hour, and the rail service currently takes four, it is not unusual for passengers to spend three hours or more in total going to and from the center of both cities. With the Sapsan, passengers in St. Petersburg only need catch the train at the Moskovsky Station in the morning, and by noon, they are at Leningradskaya Station in Moscow. This is a far cry from the journey between Moscow and St. Petersburg that travelers had to endure when the railroad line first opened in 1851. The journey by rail took upwards of two days' worth of bumpy rides over snow and hills. The ride on board this EMU train is as smooth as any modern train or urban commuter rail, or airport tram experience seen anywhere in the world. (An EMU, or "electric multiple unit," is a type of train where each car has its own locomotion, the combined power of which allows the train to move unusually fast, speeding up and slowing down much more safely.)
Beside speed, the Sapsan train caters to the requirements of the modern luxury and business traveler. Whereas comfortable seats are reserved for business and first class on an airplane, the Sapsan's first and second class seats both provide passengers with the same experience. The first class seats, however, provide additional leg space and WiFi access, service that has increased in demand (and expectation) exponentially since the trains first went into service.Attempting to improve upon the airline model, the Sapsan offers automatic check-in, much like you would see at any airport. Booking can be done with greatest convenience online, and boarding simply requires a passport - the number is recorded at the time the passenger places the reservation.
Of course, service is far removed from any of the Soviet-era gruffness, with attendants providing a modern level of friendliness and courtesy, defining anew the meaning of Russian luxury travel. The cabins are kept impeccably clean, with all accommodations well-maintained. And unlike in any airline flight, passenger luggage can be accessed from storage by the attendants, should a passenger need anything from their suitcase.
Eventually, if the Russian Railway Ministry has its way, the Sapsan RUS EVS will be employed along an extensive system of new high-speed rail lines that will extend across Eurasia, removing bottlenecks at the nation's airports, improving travel efficiency for businessmen going between cities, and providing more luxury travel options for those who want to see this great country for themselves. At such speeds as this train is able to deliver, perhaps a railroad line to North America through a tunnel under the Bering Strait is not so far-fetched after all.

A CONTRACEPTIVE device has been adapted to treat a form of cancer of the uterus, avoiding the need for surgery.
Women with endometrial cancer, which affects the lining of the uterus, usually have to have a hysterectomy. Hormone pills may be offered instead, but this can lead to side effects such as nausea, headache and abnormal bleeding.
Lucas Minig, now at the Madrid Sanchinarro University Hospital in Spain, used a hormone-releasing intrauterine device (IUD) to treat 14 women with endometrial cancer (EC) and 20 with atypical endometrial hyperplasia (AEH) - a precursor of EC. The IUD releases a synthetic form of progesterone, thought to cause cell death at high doses. "By acting directly on the tumour, it avoids painful side effects," Minig says. The women also received monthly injections of GnRH, a hormone which halts the production of oestrogen, thought to stimulate tumour growth.
After a year, eight ...

There was a 5% disparity in the torque delivered by the two turboprop engines powering the Swearingen Metro III that stalled on short final approach to Cork, Ireland and crashed causing six fatalities in February last year.
In its interim statement on the 10 February crash, the Irish Air Accident Investigation Unit said when the crew lost control of the aircraft on short final approach to runway 17 at Cork, the stall warning was sounding and the pilots had just advanced the throttle levers to a high power setting with the intention of going around.
Almost simultaneously the aircraft rolled left, then rapidly right, causing the starboard wingtip to hit the ground. The right roll continued and the aircraft impacted the runway fully inverted, then it slid to a halt on soft ground to the right hand side of the runway. The pilots and four passengers were killed, four passengers were seriously injured, and the remaining two passengers received minor injuries, according to the statement.
The AAIU says that the flight data recorder (FDR) revealed that, for more than 100h of flying before the accident, the two engines had been delivering different power levels for the same throttle lever settings, with a disparity of up to 5%. The No 2 (starboard) engine was responding more quickly and providing more power. Working with engine manufacturer Garrett and the US National Transportation Safety Board, the AAIU determined that the cause of the power differential was a faulty pressure/temperature sensor on the No 2 engine that affected the performance of its fuel control unit.
On short final approach to Cork's runway 17 in poor visibility, with eight seconds to go before impact, the throttle levers were below the idle setting, and the left engine was developing -9% (negative) torque, the right engine 0% torque. At 7s before impact the stall warning began to sound and the throttle levers were simultaneously advanced to a high power setting.
The AAIU is not able to say yet whether the power disparity had a bearing on the loss of control. It said: "The investigation is currently carrying out a flight path analysis with the assistance of the NTSB, which will analyse the complex aerodynamic factors involved during the final phase of flight. This analysis, together with the limited FDR data available, may provide additional information regarding the loss of control of the aircraft."
The AAIU confirmed information reported in its original interim statement, including the fact that the crew had elected to continue descent well below their decision height with no indication that they had sight of the runway. In this report the investigators reveal that, apart from the sensor fault leading to the engine power disparity, the aircraft, its engines, propellers and avionics all appear to have been serviceable.
The AAIU is taking a great interest in the supervisory relationship between the ticket seller - Manx2 - the aircraft operator and the aircraft owner, explaining: "The Investigation is also examining the operational control, the regulatory oversight of the operation and the effectiveness of that oversight. The examination of the complex relationships between the AOC [aircraft operator's certificate] holder, the undertaking selling the service, and the undertaking which supplied the aircraft and flight crew, is continuing."
The aircraft owner is Airlada of Seville, Spain; the operator was Flightline BCN of Barcelona; and Manx2 in whose name the flights were sold is based in the Isle of Man. The aircraft, EC-ITP, is registered in Spain, so regulatory oversight was provided by the Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea (AESA) which, according to the AAIU, has since renewed Flightline BCN's AOC "following corrective actions by the company," but has removed its right to operate Metro IIIs.
The full accident investigation into the Manx2 flight is not yet complete, and the just-issued AAIU information is provided in an interim statement released against the legal requirement to provide information about the investigation's progress a year after the accident.

What others are saying:
Psychology has become integrated into almost every aspect of our current culture. While there are many valid, useful aspects of this study, it also employs many anti-Christian theories and practices. I entered Intro to Psychology with absolutely no prior knowledge of the field of psychology. I enjoyed the fact that we used a combination of a Sparknotes textbook, and a book on the Christian view of psychology. The Sparknotes text was easy to understand, and gave me the material I needed for the CLEP exam, while the Christian-based book and Mrs. Burdick's lectures helped me to gain a Biblical view of psychology. Had I taken a traditional high-school or college psychology class, I know I would have missed out on this vital aspect. At the end of the year, I passed the Intro to Psychology CLEP exam, which gave me three college credits. This course is very educational, as well as enriching and eye-opening. I would recommend this class to any student who is interested in gaining a Christian view on this study, which has become such a large part of our culture. Abby T. – Michigan
Course Tutor:
Wanda Burdick
Course Description:
After taking a psychology course at a major university, I have first-hand experience on how anti-God, and humanistic psychology really is. My goal is to keep students from having to sit through the "counsel of the ungodly" and polluting their minds. This course covers all the theory that a student would receive in an introductory college level course in Psychology, but with a biblical worldview to combat the godless philosophies that do consume so many young people today. We will discuss all the theories of Freud, Watson, Maslow, Adler, and many more. We will learn about development, perception, learning and conditioning, intelligence, cognition and how psychology plays a role in most of today's thinking. With the Bible as our guide, we will examine how a biblical worldview champions the secular worldview. When the student has completed the course they will have the information needed to take the CLEP or the AP exam for college credit and not have to take this course in college.
Students may also prepare to take the CLEP 'Intro to Psychology' exam by which you may receive college credit. Please check with instructor for extra study materials for this opportunity.
Course Notes:
There are some chapters in the book that are sensitive in nature and parents are forewarned so they can go through the material with their student. I do not teach sex education as I feel this is the job of the home.
Course Prerequisites:
Mature enough to understand concepts that deal with personality and human nature.

Required Supplies:

WIC is a nutrition program that provides participants with healthy foods to meet their specific dietary needs. Examples of WIC foods include: milk, eggs, cheese, cereal, peanut butter, dry beans or peas, juice, infant formula and, for breastfeeding mothers, carrots and tuna or salmon. The WIC program specifies certain types, sizes, or brands of food items that contain the required nutrients, taking into consideration cost, availability and regional preferences. Participants and vendors are not allowed to substitute other foods or non-food items. It is very important for the success of the program that vendors keep the required WIC foods in stock and available at all times so participants may buy their prescribed foods when needed.
A WIC Food List describing and picturing the types and brands of foods that are authorized is available in different formats for vendors and participants. Select from the links below for the current WIC Food List.

South Korea designates chemical spill site as 'special disaster zone'
GUMI, South Korea — The South Korean government on Monday officially designated the area surrounding a chemical spill in the city of Gumi as a "special disaster zone," Yonhap News Agency reported.
On Sept. 27, approximately eight tons of hydrofluoric acid leaked from the Hube Globe chemical plant, killing five workers and injuring 18 others.
More than 3,000 residents living in the affected area have been sickened and hundreds of acres of farmland were damaged, according to the story.
RELATED: South Korea's Honam to build $5 billion petrochemical plant in Indonesia
The leak has also cost factories in the industrial complex about 17.7 billion won (US$15.9 million) in lost production, prompting calls for emergency help from the central government.
A team of government inspectors visited the site last Friday and announced its decision to designate the scene as a special disaster zone after a meeting with officials.
Under law, a special disaster area is entitled to extra financial aid from the government.
"Last week''s examination showed the damage is presumed to be too extensive for the local government to handle on its own," said Yook Dong-han, the vice minister of the Prime Minister's Office. "The government will make detailed measures and standards to administer support, and plans to carry out another round of in-depth inspections into the region as early as possible," he added.

DOD Requires Written Notification for Incumbent Contractors Prior to In-sourcing
December 4, 2013
DOD Requires Written Notification for Incumbent Contractors Prior to In-sourcing
On October 31, 2013, the Department of Defense (DOD) issued an interim rule requiring contracting officers to give written notification to incumbent contractors that would be affected by a government in-sourcing determination. The rule implements section 938 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 and requires the contracting officer to provide notice within 20 days of receiving the in-sourcing decision. Until this notice is provided, the government cannot initiate any formal hiring or contract-related actions, except for preliminary internal actions associated with hiring or contract modification. Comments on the proposed rule must be submitted on or before December 30, 2013. (78 Fed. Reg. 65218, 10/31/2013.)

11/13/2013Crashes all the time. there is no fast forward or rewind so this is a huge hassle. This is the only Windows NPR podcast app that I know of, so I guess I am stuck with this glitchy app.
10/11/2013Hands down, the best podcast app for Windows Phone!!!
9/30/2013Will not play in the background. Does not allow me to forward through a podcast. Fix these issues
6/4/2013No options
4/27/2013I only wanted the trial for 3 podcast but it FORCED me to upgrade. I Paid for it, and there are still ads! That sucks!, Also, guess I didn't read carefully, but you cannot download podcasts, just stream. Hate it. UPDATE: just discovered that if you leave the app, your podcast stops and when you restart the app, starts from the beginning. I'm ****** about paying for this. DON'T BUY!!!!!
3/29/2013Doesn't let you try. Dialog asks you to upgrade but won let u past so u can't actually see if it works. Junk. Uninstalling.
11/8/2012Doesn't run in the background. Only streams, so there is no offline mode.
7/30/2012Just okay, not great. Won't remember where it leaves off in a podcast. And there is no fast forwarding a podcast. So some podcasts I never get to hear the second half of them!
6/8/2012No fast forward or rewind, says free version can have 3 favs but freezes up with more than 2. Needs more features to warrant purchase of pro.
5/27/2012Doesn't run in the background, doesn't allow fast-forward, or rewind.

How Will Apple Sell 343 Million Devices in 2016?
Motley Fool
Investors may be underestimating what the power of compounding can do for Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) . If Apple can just sustain its current market share in the coming years, the power of compounding will drive unit volume growth for its iDevices through the roof. According to IDC, Apple is expected to grow its iPhone unit volume by 18.8% a year, roughly in line with the smartphone industry. At that pace, in three years' time, Apple's iPhone unit shipments will have increased by 68% since the end of 2012. On the tablet side, it's expected that Apple will ship 20.9% more iPads per year until 2016, equating to a 77% increase from today's levels. Are investors missing something so enormous it's difficult to see? Or could it be that IDC's estimates are completely off the mark and shouldn't be trusted?

Learndash: How Do Protect Lessons Of Course?
Posted 19 January 2014 - 01:26 PM
the learndash site the recommend wishlist member. So maybe they've not gotten around to noting that ithemes can protect the lesson content too, or can it?
In my digging around, I see only the option to protect based on a membership option. Does that mean that each course has to be set up as a membership in order to protect the individual course pages (called lessons)?
I would like to understand how ithemes change/learndash treats the following:
a program: a collection of courses
a course: a collection of lessons
If a user buys my program "how to be a dog trainer" and it has 5 courses, then the user would have access to all the courses.
If a user buys my course, "teaching your dog to sit" the the user should see the course sessions.
Also, I think a section called learndash needs to be created in the exchange plugins area of the forum.
Thanks in advance.

It's been 2 years since I wrote my Lazy Girl's Guide to Losing Weight and Keeping It Off blog post, and things have changed since I moved to Taiwan. Perhaps it's my inability to resist all the good food, especially noodles; perhaps it's the beers that I enjoy even more in such hot and humid weather; or perhaps it's a natural part of ageing – whatever the reason, I've gone beyond my OMG weight, and have found it impossible to shift any of it.
Now I know that this weight is not obese, however it is the heaviest I've been for a very long time, and makes me feel very uncomfortable in my clothes.
So last weekend I bit the bullet and visited a fairly well-known weight loss clinic in Taipei, which prescribes appetite suppressants + calorie controlled diet for weight loss.
Before Consultation
I secured an appointment with the weight loss clinic on Saturday afternoon, which involves firstly filling out forms with regards to my current health conditions and lifestyle (including dietary) habits.
After the forms I was taken to measure my weight, body fat %, blood pressure, and width of waist, arms, bum. They also took a blood sample which needs to be analysed and cleared for the diet.
I'm not going to reveal the measurements (at this point, at least), but this is what I look like now. I'm the most unhappy about my (tuck-shop lady) arms and (thunder) legs, which have always been my problem areas. The area that rings the alarm for me, is my tummy area – I've always had a relatively slim waist, and getting a gut is not normal.
The consultation was very quick, which was quite disappointing since I was hoping the doctor would explain to me the meaning of all the forms I filled in. The doctor placed me in the program which still requires me to control what I eat – which is to eat no carbs for breakfast and lunch (except for fruit), and small amount of non-greasy carbs for dinner.
This was quite surprising to me as I always thought carbs at night is a big no-no. But alas there was still not much explanation to that, and I was sent on my way with a prescription of 2 weeks worth of pills.
Another doctor (or pharmacist?) talked me through the bags of pills I was prescribed – they vary in dosage and combination for Day 1-3; Day 4-7 and Day 8-14.
I was advised to drink at least 3 litres of water during the program, and various methods to overcome the side-effects that may come with the pills. I'm glad the clinic is just around the corner from where I live, as it offers me a peace of mind should the pills deem unsuitable for me.
After Consultation
I was to wait for 2 business days for my blood test to return, so the clinic can give me the all-clear to go on the program.
And today, I got a phone call telling me I'm all good to go.
So tomorrow I shall begin on the program, and will document my progress on a weekly basis. Just to be clear, I'm no way condoning appetite suppressants as a good long-term way to loose weight, and am hoping to reach my goal weight of 48kg in 4 weeks time, after which I will try my best to maintain it for as long as I possibly can.
Wish me luck!

Live Nation Inc., the concert promoter spun off by Clear Channel Communications Inc., agreed to buy a majority stake in Musictoday, an operator of fan sites and online stores for artists such as Christina Aguilera.
Musictoday, based in Charlottesville, Va., had sales of more than $100 million last year, Live Nation said Monday. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
The purchase extends Live Nation's expansion into retail sales, adding to its concert promotion and venue management. This month Live Nation acquired a majority stake in Trunk Ltd., which sells T-shirts and other apparel to music fans.
"It's not so much an infusion of capital as it is access to resources," Nathan Hubbard, Musictoday's chief of staff, said in an interview. "They have tremendous data on fans that we'll be able to leverage. And they're spending $100 million on marketing and advertising this year, so we'll be able to generate more marketing reach."
