Crevice Tools
The contemporary vacuum cleaners are designed keeping in mind the various unique cleaning needs. Do you know you can remove the fabric softener residue from the lint filter of your washing/dryer machine? All that you need is a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool.
How to remove lint from washing machine using vacuum cleaner?
The first and foremost step is to turn off your dryer and unplug it from the outlet. Remove the lint filter and throw away the lint.
While the lint filter is soaking in warm, soapy water, clean the lint trap using your vacuum cleaner's crevice tool. The crevice tool will loosen any fabric softener residue.
You can then blow dry the lint trap using the vacuum cleaner before fixing the lint cloth back into the lint trap. This will vacuum away any lint inside the lint trap and also unblock the lint compartment's moist air intake vent screens.
You will find a host of crevice tools in GoVacuum.com. GoVacuum.com is a one stop for all your cleaning solutions. We deal with only the best and top branded vacuum cleaners and their accessories. Some of the brands that are available with us include Eureka, Hoover, Bosch, Kenmore, Koblenz and many more.

With excellent photo and video quality and a deep feature set, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 is the perfect mix if you want dSLR-like controls and better than point-and-shoot performance with the convenience of a single fixed lens.
Panasonic hopes 4K video and a multitude of ways to capture action will lure you away from an entry-level dSLR.
With really good photo and video quality, a great set of features and generally class-leading performance, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 is probably one of our favorite compact cameras ever. It's not for the inexperienced, though.
There's just enough new here to make this interchangeable-lens model worth a look.
The small but notable change of swapping a built-in flash for an EVF is welcome, but the price...
The company introduces the first interchangeable-lens still camera that's QFHD- and Cinema 4K-ready out of the box, though you'll have to accessorize for best results.
A fully loaded travel zoom that's fun to use, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS30 has a lot to offer both advanced and casual snapshooters.
The company's latest interchangeable-lens camera incorporates much of the power of bigger models at a fraction of the size.
One more reason to close your curtains, the 16-megapixel FZ70 features an f2.8-5.9 20-1200mm lens and rock-solid image stabilization to back it up.
If you're searching for a long-zoom camera that falls in between a point-and-shoot and digital SLR experience, look no further than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200.

Google Apologises For Photos App's Racist Blunder 269 269
Mark Wilson writes: Google has issued an apology after the automatic tagging feature of its Photos apps labeled a black couple as "gorillas". This is not the first time an algorithm has been found to have caused racial upset. Earlier in the year Flickr came under fire after its system tagged images of concentration camps as sports venues and black people as apes. The company was criticized on social networks after a New York software developer questioned the efficacy of Google's algorithm. Accused of racism, Google said that it was "appalled" by what had happened, branding it as "100% not OK".

Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
I am pretty much set on OpenSuSE 11.x (It's just so pritty!), but...
I know the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit computing, but is it harder on Linux for 64 bit users? Example, is it harder to compile, more work involved, or command extensions?
Also, should I worry about them having a licensing deal with Microsoft? I know diehard Linux'rs disagree with it, but they are bringing compatibility to the table.
Re: Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
64 bit is not a problem at all. Most distribution, openSUSE included, include 32-bit compatibility libraries and compilers for 64-bit systems, either by default or if you want them. And most programs you compile nowadays have 64-bit support anyways. If, by some chance, you need to compile a 32-bit program you can do that without too much trouble if you have the 32-bit compatibility package for your compiler.
The only problem I have had is playing Real videos in mplayer or xine-based media players. I think it has something to do with packman's version of xine not working well with 32-bit codecs. You can still use Realplayer to play those videos. packman is the main "non-free" repository for packages with potential licensing issues. openSUSE has a license for playing mp3 files so that is not amongst the packages.
The licensing deal should also not something to worry about. openSUSE is a community-run distribution with some support from Novell, just like Ubuntu is a community-run distribution with some support from Canonical and Fedora is a community-run distribution with some support from Red Hat. The licensing deal is for Novel's own commercial Linux distribution, not openSUSE. Even if you disapprove of it the deal has nothing at all to do with openSUSE.
Besides, if you have problems using things backed by Novell, you shouldn't use compiz or XGL either since they were (or maybe still are) both originally supported by Novell in the same way openSUSE is. They are also one of the biggest financial supporters of the Linux kernel, far bigger than either Canonical or Red Hat. They have also defended Linux against Microsoft in at least one legal battle and are also the ones who single-handedly defeated SCO, the company that was threating to sue every Linux user on the planet. So it is not as simple as Novell being a front-man for Microsoft or a force for evil that is trying to destroy Linux, but neither is it the case that they are perfect angels either.
But it seems a lot Linux users are perfectly willing to bad-mouth openSUSE because it is affiliated with Novell but would never give up their precious Compiz, not to mention Linux itself. My personal feeling is that the licensing deal itself is not that bad a thing, Microsoft is paying Novell and that helps Linux. The problem is that Novell has not made it clear enough that it does not agree with Microsoft's patent claims, which they appear not to but I don't think they have explained that well enough. So I don't think the deal itself is a problem so much as the unanswered claims that Microsoft is making about it, which shows a lack of spine on Novell's part.
I have been using the 64-bit version of opensuse for almost a year now and have been very happy with it. If you like KDE, and particular KDE 4, it is really hard to beat. That is actually why I switched from Kubuntu. The package management has also improved a huge amount for openSUSE 11, it is fast, efficient, and I almost never encounter a dependency issue it cannot resolve.
The openSUSE Buildservice is also a huge plus, it is a highly organized and highly-focused way to get just the set of packages you want. For instance there are 3 different KDE 4 repositories, one for 4.0, one for the most recent stable, and one for the most recent svn. There are also stable and unstable Mozilla repositories, stable and unstable Openoffice repositories, and a whole lot of other things. For a lot of different popular programs it allows you to pick between the version it shipped with (plus security updates), the most recent stable version, and the most recent unstable version. It is very useful if you just want one unstable program and only over a certain period of time, like while it is in RC. You just turn on that repository and then disable it when the final version comes out. You should definitely browse the buildservice for repositories you want to subscribe to.
Re: Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
Now this is what I wanted to hear :D
I flirt with Mepis a little bit on a file server, and it has KDE 3.59 so is what I'm looking for, thanks for the great info!
Re: Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
Sounds good. If you have any questions, especially about initial setup and such, feel free to ask. I have set up opensuse 11.0 a bunch of times (3 of my own computers, several computers in my lab and a bunch of VM's for some sandboxing). Setting up the repositories you want is sometimes less than intuitive, although easier at least than the versions of Kubuntu I have tried. I personally only use KDE 4, but when it comes to KDE-centric distributions openSUSE is hard to beat both for 3.x and 4.x.
Re: Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
How is SuSE on dialup? LOL!!! You don't have to answer that! I ain't gonna download 4.7gb on dialup, I'll have to buy it.
Re: Couple of Q's about OpenSuSE
I've never tried Linux in general on dialup, so I can't say.

39 year old man | Washington, DC, USA | Seeking women 25-33 within 50 miles
Are you my Bond (007) girl? My "one"? My future wife? Strong, honest, man seeking wonderful woman to explore the world and build a life
Hello. It is a pleasure to meet you. I am seeking an exceptional woman with whom to enjoy the adventures of life. Ideally, she will be my "one", my love, best friend, girlfriend, soul mate and perhaps a wife one day. I am honest, loyal, fun, loving, strong, adventurous, kind and romantic. I have traveled and lived throughout the world. I know first-hand that thoughts of the right woman outshine even the greatest wonders the world has to offer. I embrace life's opportunities, have a passion for living and broad interests. I have a multi-degreed, multi-disciplinary educational and multi-licensed professional background; law, business and engineering. Life is meant to be lived and experienced fully. The right person makes it meaningful. I offer her the best of myself and of world, as I can offer. I am happiest with a woman I truly love. The right woman can make the triumphs and experiences of life fuller and happier. The woman I seek will offer love, kindness, companionship, curiosity, an active mind and an expansive life philosophy. She will be spirited and ready for happiness in a healthy relationship. She will be a woman with whom to build a wonderful life, future and potentially a family with. She will be inherently and genuinely nice, thoughtful and loving. She will have a self-development, world view and common sense which will enhance our lives. She will enjoy life, have confidence in herself and value a man who loves her. I value intelligent, straightforward, no-nonsense, secure and confident women. She will be happy, emotionally stable, secure, courageous, completely honest (even with herself), loyal beyond question and generous in spirit. My "one" will also have a sharp mind, pragmatic attitude, great sense of humor and positive disposition. She must have common sense and an ability to exercise good judgment in complex environments (e.g., international travel, black tie events, business and political situations, and in personal circumstances requiring insight, discipline or self-control). I love feminine, long-haired and romantic women. I prefer a woman who is busty and secure in body-image (beaches, bikinis, boats, sun and sand). She will be proud of her body, whether athletic or with a few extra pounds. I am a "real" man who prefers a "real" woman. She should understand and appreciate this. I am passionate, skilled and physical with a woman I love. Otherwise, I abstain. I am perfectly healthy and have turned down a lot of offers for sex and fun to ensure that I stay that way. She will have done the same. I don't believe in health risks. She will have a perfectly healthy body, a strong drive reserved for relationships, and an absolutely clean medical history (no venereal disease of any type (no VD no exceptions). She will not use psychiatric medication or recreational drugs. She will have a lifetime of good judgment and enjoy a thoughtful existence. I am very pro-choice, pragmatic, not religious and politically centrist. The woman I seek must live life of her own accord. She must be strongly pro-choice (Yes - especially for herself). I do want children, but only after marriage, when the time and circumstances are right. She will strongly and confidently share these views. True. My expectations are high, as are the benefits I offer: Myself, love, marriage, family, security, comfort, excitement, happiness, devotion, health and a wonderful future. I hope to find in you a soulmate, true love, co-adventurer, lover, girlfriend and hopefully wife. I already have almost everything a man could want. What is missing is my "one" with whom to share the joys and experiences of life, together, hand-in-hand, happy and in love.

I like Birds, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish
I love animals and pets. I am allergic to cats (no cat women). She will also not be a crazy pet person. It will not be the center of her life, she will not obsess over it, smell like it, prefer it to men, or expect me to ever share a bed with it.

About Me Movie Buff
I had seen this movie, twice, on TCM, & decided to buy it for my 20 y.o. granddaugher. She's not an old movie fan, but I convinced her to watch this with an open mind, & it's in color! My reason for purchasing this DVD, is she spent the month of June in Italy! I knew this movie was just what she needed to round out her trip.

Visually beautiful. I was 18 years old on first viewing and I've just returned from a trip to Venice. It's certainly changed but still worth the trip.

Re: Star Wars The Clone Wars Season Five News and Discussion
This current storyline is just okay. I wish they had wrapped it up in the third episode. It's really drawing things out a bit too much for my taste. Though the positives are Ashoka getting some screen time (even if Lux Bonteri is dull) and I do like that they've decided to make Steela and her brother people of color. Too many of the ancillary Clone Wars human or near human characters are lacking in the melanin department.

Cabot Miniature GolfRead MoreAt Cabot Miniature Golf, balls tumble down undulating greens past landscapes adorned with well-maintained shrubs and animal statues. Games unfold in all kinds of weather on the illuminated 18-hole course, where giant windmills and miniature ponds obstruct each ball's path to a hole-in-one. On the adjoining driving range, orbs soar above more than 200 yards of real turf until 10 p.m. as a sand trap tries to swallow balls rolling across the practice putting green in an effort to feed the sand monster living inside of it. After rounds of golf, a small playground entices kids to play, and two covered, colorfully lit pavilions shelter guests enjoying post-game snacks. Cabot Miniature Golf also includes mini storage units, which are guarded by extra-heavy bar-tube fencing and a coded entry system. This facility can also store large objects such as cars, RVs, and boats.11605 Hwy. 5Cabot, AR US
Prevail FitnessRead MorePrevail Fitness keeps its doors open 24 hours a day, seven days a week so that exercise fanatics can burn calories and midnight oil alike with a large free-weight area, FreeMotion and Cybex Eagle circuit equipment, and more than 30 pieces of cardio equipment. Social sweaters, meanwhile, can mingle during one of the 30 aerobics classes scheduled each week, including yoga, Zumba, and cardio dance. During two one-hour personal-training sessions, a certified trainer strengthens core muscles with a carefully calibrated workout regimen while doling out detailed advice, such as how many bench presses it takes to become invulnerable to javelins. Free childcare ensures that parents can get their sweat on without the hassle of storing infants inside their mouths.205 N 10th StCabot, AR US
Justin Hill Golf Academy at Greystone Country ClubRead MoreThe 18-hole golf course at Greystone Country Club rollicks through the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, skirting past rocky outcroppings and pristine waterfalls. Architect Kevin Tucker molded the course to take advantage of these natural features, and then expanded upon them with additions such as the resplendent zoysia fairways and mini verde greens. The result is an outdoorsy challenge that forces players of all skill levels to demonstrate proficiency with every club in the bag, from the putter to the putt-conceding magic wand. After shaking hands on the 18th green, groups can then retire to the club's bar and grille, The Nines, where french fries can help tally overall scores. Course at a Glance * 18-hole, par 72 course * 7,051 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 74.8 * Course slope of 137 * Five sets of tees57 Greystone Blvd.Cabot, AR US
Cypress Creek Golf CourseRead MoreCypress Creek Golf Course slinks through Greystone subdivision, adding up to a 7,392-yard length that requires accuracy and length in equal measure. Designer Kevin Tucker drew up the course blueprint with aqua in mind; golfers confront water on 13 of the course's 18 holes. Players must clear a meandering creek on the par-5 3rd hole, nimbly avoiding it off the tee, on their approach. Both hole 12 and hole 18 take hard doglegs left around a lake, while the par-3 16th hole features a dramatic shot into a unique island green, reminiscent of the famous 17th hole of the TPC at Sawgrass's Stadium Course. Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par-72 course * Total length of 7,392 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 74.9 from the back tees * Course slope of 136 from the back tees34 Cypress Creek CrossingCabot, AR US
Paintball T-SquareRead MoreT-Square?s 40-acre playing area is a menacing wooded battlefield containing military-style tanks, obstacles, and foxholes from which to taunt, shoot, and telepathically tickle opponents. This Groupon takes care of the field fee ($10), which includes unlimited CO2, 100 paintballs, referees to ensure fair play, and all-day field access. The rental of a high-quality semi-automatic paintball gun and a face mask is also included ($5). For trigger-happy targeters, T-Square offers additional rounds of paintballs for purchase?increase your inventory with 100 ($5), 500 ($20), or 2,000 ($60) paintballs. Beginners and advanced sharpshooters alike will take to the field for rousing games of ?attack and defend,? ?arena ball,? ?capture the flag,? and its not-so-popular offshoot, ?let?s all talk this out before making any rash decisions.? There is an elevated viewing area for non-players to watch the games and shout out defensive strategies in Morse code.5327 Old Highway 67Jacksonville, AR US
North Hills Country ClubRead MoreA lifelong golfer who has putted and driven her way to three Women's U.S. Opens while earning her way in to the PGA Quarter Century Club, course professional Dawn Darter knows the ins, overs, and outs of The Greens' stunningly styled slopes?as well as its recently renovated greens and fairways. During each 45-minute private lesson, Darter tweaks swing mechanics with exercises that incorporate posture, wrist motion, and diaphragm control for more pleasant-sounding victory yodels. Mentor and PGA Professional Life Member Tom Hanson is also on-hand to instruct golfers in new tactics for skimming strokes from long and short games. If you'd rather skip to the part where you hit a ball so hard that it circumnavigates the globe and clonks you in the back of the head, head to the driving range area with a ball key card worth 12 large buckets, or 576 golf balls, and spend an afternoon blissfully pretending that each ball is the unusually small, dimpled white head of your boss.7400 Highway 107Sherwood, AR US

Conan O'Brien, Andy Richter Heading to ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
TVGuide reports that Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter will guest star on the upcoming fourth season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT. Will Arnett revealed the news during his Tuesday night appearance on Conan sharing, "I don't want to give away too much. But let me put it this way. There are a few people on this stage tonight who are a part of it. And I think we know who we are."
No details have been revealed as to the roles the comedians will take on. Richter may return in his role as identical quintuplets (Andy, Donnie, Chareth, Rocky and Emmett) who all have differing personalities.
O'Brien and Richter will join a star-studded slate of celebrities who will appear on the series, airing exclusively on Netflix, including John Slattery, Carl Weathers and Isla Fisher. Arnett confessed that he was thrilled to have so many people, "from strangers on the street to Bruce Springsteen" inquiring about the return of the series. He told Conan, "I'm so excited that people are still into it."
The 13 new episodes are scheduled to premiere on Network in early 2013.

Updated glGetStringi(GL_EXTENSIONS, i) to no longer return NULL in OpenGL 3.0 preview contexts.
Fixed OpenGL crashes while running KDE4's Plasma.
Fixed OpenGL crashes when using a large number of texture objects.

Armstrong caliber? Not just yet, says Slovak star
SERAING, Belgium Peter Sagan blushed, giggled and eventually brushed off comparisons to Lance Armstrong on Sunday after becoming the youngest rider to win a Tour de France stage since the Texan nearly a generation ago.
The 22-year-old Slovak gave a command performance in his debut in a full Tour stage by outsprinting Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara, who mounted a spirited and successful defense of his yellow jersey over a hilly ride in eastern Belgium in Stage 1.
The standings among the top contenders to win the three-week race didn't change much after the 123-mile loop from Liege to suburban Seraing featuring five low-grade climbs. Bradley Wiggins of Britain and defending champion Cadel Evans trailed close behind in a splintered pack.
Overall, Wiggins is second behind Cancellara, seven seconds back, and Evans is another 10 seconds slower in eighth.
Sagan, who won five of eight stages in this year's Tour of California among the 13 stage victories he has this year, placed his hands on his shoulders after edging out Cancellara and Norway's Edvald Boasson Hagen. It was the culmination of a tricky uphill patch with cobblestones right before the finish.
The promising Slovak becomes the youngest rider to capture a Tour stage since Armstrong won his first of his 22 career Tour stage victories at age 21 - in Stage 8 in 1993. The youngest of all time is Italy's Fabio Battesini, who was 19 when he won one in the 1931 Tour.
Sagan landed another spot in the history books: No other Tour debutant has won the first Tour road stage since Fabio Baldato of Italy 17 years ago, according to Infostrada, a Dutch sports information service. David Zabriskie of the United States won the opening time-trial in his first Tour in 2005, but that wasn't a full road stage.
Asked whether he has the potential to be the next Armstrong, Sagan cautioned that such talk was a bit premature: "I would like to be, but I'm so young it's impossible to know what the future will be."
"If that could be true, it would be great," the Liquigas-Cannondale rider said with a nervous laugh.
He rose to 23th place overall, 24 seconds behind Cancellara, after entering the day in 56th place - 3:49 behind - after the prologue that Sagan said wasn't suited to his talents.
To have a chance to achieve Armstrong's stature, Sagan will have to prove that he's a complete rider who can excel in time-trials and the mountains - not just a "puncher" who can burst ahead late on flatter stages.
He'll get that chance in two time-trials ahead and as the race veers to the Alps in Week 2 and down into the Pyrenees mountains before the July 22 finish on Paris' Champs-Elysees.
Cancellara, the 31-year-old veteran who won Saturday's prologue, offered racing panache with an aggressive final attack - an unusual move because the bearer of the yellow jersey generally spends more effort trying to defend it than going on the offensive himself.

I've had nothing but good experiences at Le Pet Spa. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful and they can order for any product or item they do not happen to have on hand. You and your dog are greeted by the owner's wonderful dog, Max, who generously points the way to the complimentary treats and then graciously accepts a couple himself (just so your dog won't feel self-conscious chowing down alone, of course). Dirty, long-haired mops are rendered into clean, well-coiffed visions without trauma or angst. The neighborhood wouldn't be the same without Le Pet Spa.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - OCTOBER 25: Justin Tuck #91 of the New York Giants gets the crowd going against the Arizona Cardinals on October 25, 2009 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
Jon Gruden gushed over the 'pistol' offense run by the Washington Redskins and more specifically Robert Griffin III. It was said that college option offenses just won't work in the NFL; the defenses are just too fast. Well, if the quarterback is faster, then the equation changes the entire scenario. Monday night the New York Giants defense didn't have an option, they had to deal with RG3 and they are still trying to figure out what hit them. Griffin III had 163 yards passing, 72 rushing, 1 touchdown, and a quarterback rating of 101.9. He did a little bit of everything including frying Justin Tuck's brain. "You can play well against them. We could've played better, but as far as shutting them down. I don't know if it's possible with a dynamic quarterback like him, who can kill you running and throwing," Tuck said according to Kent Baab of the Washington Post. "Pretty much, you've got to get lucky." "I think it's a lot of physical strain, chasing him around. . . . There were a couple times we had the perfect play called; he just outran us to the edge." "He's going to be a problem," he said, "for a lot of years to come." var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Yesterday a strange bird visited the garden; some searching on the internet led me to a bird named fieldfare and belonging to the thrush familiy; it was alone so no family around it though being described as a sociable bird occurring in small and sometimes larger groups; according to RSPB it is also a red status bird. It behaved like a blackbird and looks like it except for the very different plumage; as the blackbird it was not particularly shy, went about with an oblique head listening for evidence of worms and insects; suddenly a cat darted from the nothing but luckily the bird was on alert and I became red status in a different sense and chased the cat form the garden with as much whistles, pots and pans I could muster. I also read the advice the bird is fond of apples. Naturally, thanks for looking.

The uber jet's rarefied air was new territory for Bombardier when it announced the long-range, large-cabin Global Express in 1991. Bombardier's challenge to Gulfstream's dominance of the market for large corporate jets was fraught with perils that would show up on early-production aircraft nearly 10 years later.

Not long ago, the idea of selling fractional shares in business jets looked like a winner. Industry pioneer NetJets-which Warren Buffett had acquired for Berkshire Hathaway in 1998-appeared prosperous, and so did the several other companies that had formed to take advantage of the business model.

You examine your bill at restaurants and scrutinize charges before checking out of a hotel, but how savvy are you about auditing your air charter invoice? Unfortunately, deciphering a charter bill isn't easy: no standard charter invoice exists, some simply list a total amount due, and even when charges are broken out, they can be opaque.

Last july and august, nascar internet discussion boards swirled and smoked like a winning car churning victory donuts after a race. Jack Roush had just wrecked his jet (N6JR)-his second serious crash flying "little" airplanes. The auto-racing legend and founder of Roush Fenway Racing walked away from this one-staggered, actually-bloodied, blinded in one eye and with several cracked bones.

For terrorists and other criminals, there must be few targets more inviting than high-net-worth individuals who fly privately. Which countries are safe? "None," according to Edward L.

Gulfstream acquired the super-midsize G200 when it bought Galaxy Aerospace in 2001. The aircraft offered a unique value because its ovoid fuselage actually allows for more headroom than a full-size Gulfstream GIV (with a tube that is only two inches narrower), seating for eight to 10 passengers, true transcontinental range, a 45,000-foot ceiling and a top speed of Mach 0.85.

If you're new to the world of fractional shares, you may well be confused about how these deals work and about the terminology you're hearing. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions. How did the fractional-share concept get started?

When Bill Lear created the Learjet in the early 1960s, he envisioned a small, fast and simple airplane, a concept the marketplace embraced. His 20-series and the slightly elongated 30-series aircraft that followed sold briskly for more than 20 years, until long after he had left the company.

Sociologists talk about how societies throughout history have had varying tolerance for disparities of wealth. That is, the degree to which the economic gap can expand before the unwashed masses rise up and take down the well-scrubbed wealthy few. Think Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution.

""I've got a list of corporations that have gotten out of their airplanes [because of criticism from politicians]. It is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. When you look at the time and cost savings; it does not make sense not to fly [privately]. You can't let public perception interfere with your business decision to fly. It either is a good business decision or it isn't.""

AV Magazine
2011, Issue 3 - Primates in Science
AV MAGAZINE 17 PRIMATES BY THE NUMBERS People connect with other primates. They are charismatic animals with whom we share many traits and feel a kinship. It is similar to our connection with companion animals such as cats and dogs, but sometimes more profound due to their uncanny resemblance. As a result, nonhuman primates' welfare is generally more highly regarded than animals such as mice or rats, and they are considered to have unique requirements due to their levels of intelligence and sentience (not to mention their genetic relatedness to people). Despite these perceptions, a decline in their use in experiments in the European Union, and a general decline in the use of other favored animals like cats and dogs in the U.S., the use of nonhuman primates in laboratory experiments in the United States has increased over the last decade. It is now at a record high since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began publishing these data in 1973. Similarly, the importation of nonhuman primates into the U.S. has grown steadily over the past decade. Monkeys intended for use in biomedical research and testing experiments and/or breeding for use in experiments are the majority of the nonhuman primates imported into our country. 1 Fortunately, compared to more recent years, the number of nonhuman primates imported to the U.S. slightly decreased in 2010. Using original data obtained from federal agencies through Freedom of Information Act requests, this Special Report will examine trends in the use and importation of nonhuman primates in the United States.

I saw this on the HAMB hot rod forums done in 1:1 and was kinda keen to try it in scale. I also thought it might be a good tutorial if it came out well so I took several pics to share. Hope you like it.
Step one. Find two pick-up step side fenders. In this case '55 Chevrolet. Glue together with your favorite "this ain't never coming apart" medium.
Clean up the seams. Less work to do after you have it all cut apart.
As you can see there are two possibilities now. An angled piece created from the rear of the fenders and a flat section from the front. For the purposes of this tutorial, I decided to do the flat section. The rear piece I may do for a future project.
I reinforced the inside of the shell with some half round stock.
Draw out your cut line and break out the zona saw.

It's 209 miles from the parking lot of a Chili's in Barstow, California, where we are, to the parking lot of a Carl's Jr. in Kingman, Arizona, where we need to go. I'm in a rented Tesla Model S, a sleek, battery-powered electric vehicle, with a travel companion. We're just about fully charged, and the car estimates it can travel 247 miles before we need more juice. That's a buffer of 38 miles, which should be more than enough to reach Kingman. We'll soon realize it isn't.
We humans are problem solvers. We're doers. We encounter challenges and complicated situations and we find ways to surmount them—crafting tools, erecting bridges, programming computers. We've innovated and designed our way out of countless predicaments and, dammit, we will forevermore.
We are also hopelessly arrogant.
See, we humans sometimes forget that we are not the only innovators and designers out there. We're not the only ones able to creatively adapt our way through tricky or threatening conditions. We forget about nature.
The mobile phone in your pocket or purse is part of a vast communications system that is mostly beyond our vision, much like the internet. But as journalist Andrew Blum explains in his new book Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet, the bits and blogs of the seemingly wireless internet still travel to us on hard infrastructure and get stored in physical places. Similarly, the voices and texts and data that we regularly zip back and forth on our cell phones travel as radio waves we can't see and are connected through fiber optic cables buried beneath our feet.
With the one arm he had left after fighting for the Union during the Civil War, John Wesley Powell led a team of 10 men and four boats on what was likely the most extreme and adventurous fact-finding mission since Lewis and Clark stumbled upon the West Coast of North America. It was 1869, and this was neither the first nor the last river voyage Powell would command.
The most famous – and most infamous – buildings in Los Angeles aren't buildings. No one lives or works in them, but they have had an extraordinary impact on the city, its people, and the world as a whole. LA's most important buildings are its freeways, and the most iconic piece of this vast network is the Four Level Interchange: an elegant vertical boating knot of freeways and ramps just outside downtown.
Sitting on a Los Angeles freeway – not in a traffic jam but, literally, sitting cross-legged in the middle lane of one of the busiest freeways in the United States – is a contrary infrastructural experience.
This is a space passed over by more than 125,000 cars a day, most speeding through at 60, 70 or 80 miles an hour. At a speed of zero, there's a cognitive dissonance created by the frozen freeway's stillness. It feels like visiting the moon, a place you know is real but never thought you'd see firsthand.
Alleyways. Drainage canals. Electricity transmission corridors. Spaces like these exist in cities all over the world, and almost always they are only exactly what they seem: alleyways, drainage canals, electricity transmission corridors. But in a physical sense, they offer many more opportunities. That alley could be a stormwater absorption area. A drainage canal could become a waterfront. A transmission corridor could become a linear park.
Regional issues such as stormwater treatment and energy production have become major elements of the design of architectural projects, even at a very small scale. As demand for natural resources rises and the impact of pollution spreads, taking these issues into consideration is likely to become a more important part of urban planning and architecture. This year's national AIA convention recognizes the shift with its theme "Regional Design Revolution: Ecology Matters."
But many argue that the long-term thinking of regionalism is still a burgeoning concept.
In one month, the world's most popular sporting event will begin, drawing billions of spectators to screens all over the planet. In another month, it'll all be over.
The growing population of America is creating major metropolitan regions that can span state lines and encompass tens of millions of people. These emerging regions are projected to continue to grow, and as they do, their infrastructure is expected to struggle to keep up with the pace of expansion. In areas like transportation, energy and water, how these regions meet the needs of the near future is a question nobody quite knows how to answer.

Kelly likely new school chief in Taft
Trustees selected Kelly this week from a pool of five candidates interviewed by the school board.
The district and Kelly now enter a man-datory 21-day negotiation period before any contract can be signed. The waiting period, re-quired by state law, ends on March 22.
Kelly, a Corpus Christi native and current principal at San Marcos High School, will replace Superintendent Don Madden who announced his retirement in December. Madden will leave the district at the end of June after 11 years of service.
Kelly said he will set high standards and has ambitious goals for the district, which include recruiting and retaining qualified teachers.
"My vision is to make sure Taft is a recognized school district in three years and we will get there with a lot of hard work," Kelly said.
Taft ISD's board President Johnny Carver said Kelly's success in other schools and his ties to the area make him a natural choice to lead the district.
"Dr. Kelly is from the area, he knows the area well, he knows the demographics very well," Carver said, adding Kelly has enthusiasm for the job and has proven his ability throughout his career.
There are about 1,400 students in Taft ISD.

Clean energy investment likely to sag, forecast says
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: Although only a fraction of cleantech investment goes to smart grid, it still pays to follow trends in that larger market. The latest report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance reveals that the investment is trending slightly lower... much as it is in the smart grid subsector, which has been flat for some time now.
Key points to note:
- Policy uncertainty continues to be a blocker
- Utility-scale projects dropped by 10% from the year before
- The US, Europe and China are losing momentum while South America, Asia and Africa are gaining
- Although down from last year, the cleantech sector is still recording healthy investment
- By Jesse Berst
After record worldwide investment in clean energy in 2011, it looks like 2012 is poised to be a disappointment, says a new forecast from Bloomberg New Energy Finance. If the forecast is accurate, this will be the first "down-year" for clean energy sector investments in eight years.
Global investment in Q3 2012 hit $56.6 billion, down 5% from the second quarter and 20% lower than Q3 2011. What happened?

It's that time of year again - the holidays are over and a New Year is beginning! This can be a time of reflection about the year that is coming to an end. Many think back and assess their accomplishments for the year and consider how much they have grown as individuals. Of course, it is also helpful to think about what might have been done differently and what was learned from those experiences.
As Marti Hope Gonzalez, a Psychology Professor at the University of Minnesota, has pointed out, about 80 percent of those who make New Year's Resolutions fail by early February. New Year's "Resolutions" are usually not effective. However, it can be very useful to take time to think about the year ahead. What do you want to accomplish? What is working well in your life, and what needs to change? What steps are you truly committed to taking to reach your goals? What would achieving these goals mean to you and your loved ones? What would it feel like?
Two very popular New Year's Resolutions seem to be to lose weight and to quit smoking. But, if there is no "meat" behind the resolution, you are destined to fail. Deciding to start your diet on New Year's Day is a recipe for disaster. It is no different than starting a diet on Monday. Be honest - how many times have you binged on a Sunday night in anticipation of your new diet on Monday morning? New Year's is the same scenario.
Resolutions must be realistic, achievable, and most importantly something you are truly motivated to achieve. In order to be successful in achieving your goals (a.k.a. "resolutions") for the New Year, you must find what motivates you. In other words, find the internal motivation propelling you toward your goal. Why do you really want to achieve it? If you are losing weight or quitting smoking to please your spouse or your doctor, you are motivated by external factors. Your success will very likely be short-lived. You need to make lifestyle changes for YOU!
Ideally, you will assess your goals on an ongoing basis throughout the year and look forward to achieving new goals in the New Year. It is perfectly fine to tweak your goals if they no longer serve you.
Below are some other suggestions to consider while you pursue your goals:
- Get support - from family members, friends, professionals (e.g., hire a life coach to help you maintain focus and enhance your confidence as your reach for your goals).
