19 U.S. Code § 1515 - Review of protests
(a) Administrative review and modification of decisions
Unless a request for an accelerated disposition of a protest is filed in accordance with subsection (b) of this section the appropriate customs officer, within two years from the date a protest was filed in accordance with section 1514 of this title, shall review the protest and shall allow or deny such protest in whole or in part. Thereafter, any duties, charge, or exaction found to have been assessed or collected in excess shall be remitted or refunded and any drawback found due shall be paid. Upon the request of the protesting party, filed within the time allowed for the filing of a protest under section 1514 of this title, a protest may be subject to further review by another appropriate customs officer, under the circumstances and in the form and manner that may be prescribed by the Secretary in regulations, but subject to the two-year limitation prescribed in the first sentence of this subsection. Within 30 days from the date an application for further review is filed, the appropriate customs officer shall allow or deny the application and, if allowed, the protest shall be forwarded to the customs officer who will be conducting the further review. Notice of the denial of any protest shall be mailed in the form and manner prescribed by the Secretary. Such notice shall include a statement of the reasons for the denial, as well as a statement informing the protesting party of his right to file a civil action contesting the denial of a protest under section 1514 of this title.
(b) Request for accelerated disposition of protest
A request for accelerated disposition of a protest filed in accordance with section 1514 of this title may be mailed by certified or registered mail to the appropriate customs officer any time concurrent with or following the filing of such protest. For purposes of section 1581 of title 28, a protest which has not been allowed or denied in whole or in part within thirty days following the date of mailing by certified or registered mail of a request for accelerated disposition shall be deemed denied on the thirtieth day following mailing of such request.
(c) Request for set aside of denial of further review
If a protesting party believes that an application for further review was erroneously or improperly denied or was denied without authority for such action, it may file with the Commissioner of Customs a written request that the denial of the application for further review be set aside. Such request must be filed within 60 days after the date of the notice of the denial. The Commissioner of Customs may review such request and, based solely on the information before the Customs Service at the time the application for further review was denied, may set aside the denial of the application for further review and void the denial of protest, if appropriate. If the Commissioner of Customs fails to act within 60 days after the date of the request, the request shall be considered denied. All denials of protests are effective from the date of original denial for purposes of section 2636 of title 28. If an action is commenced in the Court of International Trade that arises out of a protest or an application for further review, all administrative action pertaining to such protest or application shall terminate and any administrative action taken subsequent to the commencement of the action is null and void.
(d) Voiding denial of protest
If a protest is timely and properly filed, but is denied contrary to proper instructions, the Customs Service may on its own initiative, or pursuant to a written request by the protesting party filed with the appropriate port director within 90 days after the date of the protest denial, void the denial of the protest.

|Alternative Education
Alternative education has historically served diverse populations of students, including those whose academic, social, political, or religious values diverged from the mainstream, as well as those who were unsuccessful within the regular public school system. There are two basic types of alternative schools: (1) those for students who would be considered "at risk" or who simply have not flourished in a traditional setting, and (2) those for students with disciplinary problems or disruptive behavior.

Mind-Body Medicine
Saybrook University PhD Graduate in Mind-Body Medicine Addresses Work as a Spiritual Practice: Beth A. Haggett, PhD
Beth A. Haggett completed her Ph.D. in Saybrook's School of Mind-Body Medicine in January 2013, with a specialization in Health Care Systems. She accepted a position as Director of Product Development for Zenger-Folkman, a well-respected company specializing in Strengths-Based Leadership. This was an unexpected career move that was both exciting and intimidating. Transitioning from a demanding but flexible research and study schedule to a 40 plus hour workweek with much less flexibility was a concern for her. Mostly, she was apprehensive about her ability to maintain the centered, mind-body spirit approach to life that she had worked so hard to achieve during her Saybrook Ph.D. journey. Could she manage juggling the demands of a challenging new career, family, and self-care without sacrificing quality of life in any arena? When would she exercise, meditate, practice QiGong, cook nutritious meals, ride her horse, spend time with husband and family, and connect with friends? When would she write, publish, teach, and continue to study and learn more about Mind-Body Medicine?
She could feel the old over-achiever, multi-tasking, neurotic, rush-to-complete-tasks gremlin of her past, sauntering forward to reclaim its place, pushing aside the peaceful, centered, soft-belly breathing, attuned woman she had become. It seemed that overnight Beth's breathing became shallow. She had difficulty sleeping, and found herself tossing and turning, fretting and agonizing over the harried life ahead of her. Here she was the first Ph.D. graduate of the MBM program, and already reverting to old behaviors and stepping into a different field only a month after obtaining her degree. Was she abandoning the field of Mind-Body Medicine and her social work roots altogether?
She managed to juggle attending the Wisdom 2.0 conference to reward herself for her accomplishments. It is a conference where thought leaders in both Mindfulness and Technology come together (think Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Marrianne Williamson, along with CEO's of Google and LinkedIn). She was drawn to a booth and the books it displayed, trusting her intuitive attraction to them. She was thrilled and amazed to find that they were all about engaging fully and mindfully in work. These books teach that work can become a spiritual practice and a vehicle for contributing to the world; that we can go about our work in such a way as to balance awareness, concentration, focus, and energy to maximize that contribution. How thrilled Beth was to realize that she could continue to learn and practice each day in the course of her work. And, that through her work, she can become more enlightened and more conscious. The books spoke to her and seemed to address the very challenges she faced each day at her new job.
Now, as Beth remembered to breathe deeply, to focus fully, to be mindful and resist the urge to do ten things at once, to discipline herself, and to honor the rhythms of hard work and contribution, she recognized that she has not relinquished her reformed more aware self after all. Although her practices now might look different, they can feel the same. She can use each interaction with a customer or co-worker, and each challenge or deadline, as a chance to look within, to engage mind, body, and spirit fully; to increase her capacity, creativity, ability, and inner knowing. Beth provided this comment on using work as a mindfulness discipline: "I see how this will benefit both my organization and myself. I can see that with my work as my practice, I have unlimited opportunity for growth and spiritual development. I look forward to introducing the Zenger-Folkman leadership development firm to the mind-body practice of Shaking and Dancing."
Beth is grateful that her heart continues to lead her towards things that make a difference in her life. She is sleeping peacefully once more. Beth expressed her new conviction: "I am so grateful for the knowledge I have of how our mind, our body, and our spirit work in beautiful harmony when we take just a little time to keep them in tune."
The two books that impressed Beth most, guiding her to mindfulness in work, were both written by the Tibetan Buddhist teacher Tarthang Tulka:
Tulku, Tarthang (1978). Skillfull means: Patterns of success. Berkley, CA: Dharma Publishing.
Tulku, Tarthang (1994). Mastering successful work: Skillful means wake up! Berkley, CA: Dharma Publish

absence / presence: a conversation with charles cohen
A conversation between Charles Cohen and Mark Cooley conducted through electronic mail - 2006
For a hypertext version of this interview please visit http://www.flawedart.net/interviews/indexcohen.htm
See Charles Cohen's work at: http://www.promulgator.com
MC: I'd like to begin by exploring your use of the "cut-out" in some of your most well known works. I've been covering your Buff series in various new media related courses for a couple of years now, and several questions and points of discussion are frequently raised. Can you speak first about the dichotomy of absence/presence at work in these pieces: How do you wish this dichotomy to play out for your audience, and what role does the content of the original image play in this scenario?
CC: If I may, I'd like to dissect the viewing experience into three "effects" which the cut-out generates. The "first effect" is the immediate recognition of the void; a mere observation, not an intellectual reaction, per se. The second effect is "the abstract effect," which would be any subsequent intellectual activity for the viewer. This sets up an ideal and final "reflexive effect".
The catalyst for the reaction is expectation. Because we expect nudity (in the Buff series) the suggestive poses of the subject and the conditioned responses of the viewer confront the void. This disconnect of what is expected with what is actually there has a variety of reactions in viewers. After digesting the experience, however, the question of what has happened occurs. This question, a momentary wedge in a normal viewing experience, sets up the "abstract effect". The viewer is questioning the nature of this particular type of imagery as well as the effect of imagery in general on the ...

East Carbon City officials conducted a special public hearing and council meeting on June 5 to determine the fate of large municipal land sale. After lengthy public comment, council members ratified the sale of more than 180 acres of land to biofuels producer Vital Energy.
In addition to acquiring the city property, company officials are also planning the purchase of 40 plus privately owned acres. The new plant will rest on 222.59 total acres, located on both the north and south of state road 123 just west of East Carbon, providing the facility with full rail access.
Representing Vital Energy at the public hearing was company Chief Executive O fficer I. Westbrook.
"I think the public was really positive once they heard the company's plans. Having their CEO present at the meeting made a big difference," said councilmember and planning and zoning chairperson Joyce Caviness. "It was important to the council as well as the residents that the process be explained, once that was done everyone got excited about the project."
According to Caviness, the process will begin with soy bean oil and convert the raw material to biodiesel and propylene glycol. Both substances are are marketable goods. Biodiesel as a commercial fuel and propylene glycol as a bonding agent used in the pharmaceutical industry.
"Westbrook reported that the process essentially has no emissions and that was really important to our citizens," said Caviness.
As an added incentive, Westbrook also indicated that methane produced within the cells at the East Carbon Development Corporation landfill could possibly be used within the plant's process in the future. The gas is currently burned by an open flame atop the cell.
Westbrook also stated that the plant will serve as a community employer as it will have 50 positions open near the end of its phase one production.
"Many of the jobs will require specialized on-the-job training and Westbrook indicated that he plans to train community members in the plant," said Caviness.
Phase one of the project will require over $20 million of company investment and is scheduled to be completed in 12 to 18 months, finishing with a beautification and landscaping effort on the roadside property.
Biofuel can be broadly defined as solid, liquid or gas consisting of/ or derived from recently dead biological material, most commonly plants. This distinguishes it from fossil fuel, which is derived from long dead biological material, according to wikipedia.com
Biofuel can be theoretically produced from any biological carbon source. The most common by far is photosynthetic plants that capture solar energy. Many different plants and plant derived materials are used for biofuel manufacture.
According to councilmember Caviness, Vital Energy will start their production by bringing in soybean oil via train transport. Both byproducts of the facility's reaction will also be transported via train.
Biofuels are used globally and biofuel industries are expanding in Europe, Asia and the Americas. The most common use for biofuels is as liquid fuels for automotive transport. The use of renewable biofuels provides increased independence from petroleum and enhances energy security.
Wikipedia reports that biodiesel is the most common biofuel in Europe. It is produced from oils or fats using transesterification and is a liquid similar in composition to mineral diesel. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine when mixed with mineral diesel. In some countries manufacturers cover their diesel engines under warranty for 100 percent biodiesel use, although Volkswagen of Germany, for example, asks drivers to make a telephone check with the VW environmental services department before switching to 100 percent biodiesel.
In the USA more than 80 percent of commercial trucks and city buses run on diesel. Therefore, "the nascent U.S. market for biodiesel is growing at a staggering rate, from 25 million gallons per year in 2004 to 78 million gallons by the beginning of 2005. By the end of 2006 biodiesel production was estimated to increase fourfold to more than 1 billion gallons," writes energy expert Will Thurmond in an article for the July-Aug. 2007 issue of The Futurist magazine.
Additionally, in 2006 the President George W. Bush said in a State of the Union speech that the U.S. is "addicted to oil" and should replace 75 percent of imported oil by 2025 by alternative sources of energy including biofuels.

MASSENA All rubble and remaining materials from the former General Motors Powertrain plant are expected to be cleared from the site by early spring.
The remediation on the Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site is in the final steps of digging out a large concrete slab and contaminated soil beneath the former plant, with the next phase of work scheduled to begin once the cold weather breaks, EPA project manager Anne E. Kelly said at a meeting last week of the North Country Redevelopment Task Force.
The work is essentially complete. There is still a lot of dirt on site that needs to be trucked off, but its tough to be getting on roads at this time of year, Ms. Kelly said. We dont want to be shipping waste in weather like this.
She said weather conditions over the last two months slowed work so significantly that it didnt make sense to continue, and the agency elected to cover and secure the site until temperatures rose.
Cleanup crews on the site have finished all the subsurface excavation, which refers to anything more than 2 feet underground, according to M. Brendan Mullen, cleanup manager for the Revitalizing Auto Communities Environmental Response Trust.
Mr. Mullen told the task force he expects crews to gradually ramp up activities near the end of March or early April and complete work by the end of November.
Crews demolished the former automotive plant in 2011 and spent much of last year removing the 20-acre, 855,000-square-foot concrete slab that was underneath the factory and the contaminated soils below it. That $15.3 million job went to D.A. Collins Cos. in Wilton, Saratoga County.
When the work is finished, there will be a flat bed of gravel where the former plant stood.
Itll look nice and neat once the snow is gone. It looks pretty neat now, actually, Ms. Kelly said.
The next phase of work was awarded to Perras Environmental Control Inc., a family-owned environmental services company in Massena. Approximately 25 to 30 Perras employees will be on the job most days.
Bearing cost in mind, bearing qualifications, bearing project approach and management, we selected Perras for that work, and were very comfortable going forward with them, Mr. Mullen said.
That work, at the northern edge of the property, involves the dismantling of three buildings and the excavation and off-site disposal of an estimated 58,000 cubic yards of PCB-impacted soils. Three process-water lagoons will be drained, excavated and filled with clean soil. Excavators will dig as deep as 50 feet in some places.
Throughout previous stages of remedial work, those lagoons were used to store contaminated wastewater. During this phase of the project, that wastewater will be treated and then discharged into the St. Lawrence River.

|Ron Tweed and Stan Gibson inspect the tracks on heavy equipment at the county landfill. A piece of REBAR got caught in the tracks and wrapped around an axle. The county is considering an ordinance that may impact the job description for employees at the landfill.
After a request to address the problem of excessive debris on Airport Road in Price, Carbon commissioners said Wednesday that the county plans to enact an ordinance designed to curb the number of unsecured loads hauled to the landfill.
At the regularly scheduled public meeting on Sept. 21, the commission instructed county attorney Gene Strate to draft an ordinance that would require loads hauled to the county landfill to be properly secured.
The request came from Harvey Howard the owner of Desert Thunder Raceway.
Howard explained that from the beginning of April to the end of September, organizers of the stock car races voluntarily clean the road between Utah Highway 55 in Price and the raceway.
Since the group has started the cleanup, race supporters have hauled away more than 240 truck loads of garbage.
Harvey pointed out that the debris on the side of the road is not just an eyesore for patrons of the race track.
In addition to the 4,000 or more entrants and spectators at the raceway, corporate executives and others who make decisions that impact local economy and government often fly into the county airport.
Howard pointed out that the first impressions that many of those individuals have as they enter the region is along Airport Road.
"The first thing they see is the garbage dump between Main Street and the garbage dump," said Howard.
County Commissioner Mike Milovich suggested the commission consider an ordinance that would fine unsecured loads that are hauled along the road.
However, one of the individuals representing the raceway indicated that the laws regarding the hauling of unsecured loads are already in place.
The Utah code states: "A person may not operate a vehicle with a load on any highway unless the load and any load covering is fastened, secured and confined to prevent the covering or load from becoming loose, detached or in any manner a hazard to the safe operation of the vehicle or to other highway users."
The code further indicates that failure to comply with the law is prosecutable as a class B misdemeanor.
The maximum penalty for a class B misdemeanor is six month imprisonment and a fine totaling $1,000.
However, in the case of unsecured loads, that amount is often reduced and no jail time is sentenced.
Since the laws are already in place, the commission considered the possibility of fining individuals who arrive at the landfill with an unsecured load. Milovich indicated that other cities have similar laws that require a higher fee per pound of refuse for anyone with an unsecured load.
Since Carbon County has no fee for using the landfill, Milovich suggested that the county consider imposing a flat fee for unsecured loads.
The commissioner suggested that a fee of $10 to $25 would be appropriate.
Strate pointed out that there may be some legal requirements if the county were to adopt such an ordinance. The county landfill workers are not currently in a position to accept such a fee, as none are authorized to handle or accept public funds. None are peace officers and, therefore, cannot issue a citation.
In addition, the question came up of whether the county could require landfill users to pay a fee. Those people with unsecured loads could choose not to use the dump and leave the premises.
Howard indicated that some county residents may already be doing that. Referencing the piles of garbage left on the sides of the road, he said that not all the garbage along Airport Road is debris that is blown off the top of unsecured vehicles. Rather, some people are dumping entire loads of garbage at various locations along the road. Howard said he suspected some of that may be the result of people arriving at the dump after it closes and choosing to illegally dump their garbage at another location.
Milovich suggested the county doesn't need to stop people from leaving. Instead, dump employees could be instructed to record the license number, vehicle information and driver description of anyone who refuses to pay the fee.
County sheriffs could then be called to issue a citation to the driver for and the illegally transported load.
One member of the audience suggested that the county start with a warning period of a few weeks or a month.
"There's not a person in the world that doesn't know that dropping stuff on the highway is illegal," said Milovich. He continued that a warning is not as effective as a monetary penalty.
The commission finally instructed Strate to draft an ordinance that would impose a fee on unsecured loads that arrived at the dump. The matter is scheduled to be addressed by the commission at its next meeting.
In addition, Sheriff James Cordova said his department would patrol the road and issue citations for unsecured loads, illegal dumping and similar infractions where necessary.
Cordova said that previous efforts to patrol the region had reduced the amount of illegal dumping. He said he hopes increased enforcement may help do that again.

The Dog Starsby Peter Heller
Staff Pick
A post-apocalyptic story with an open, elegant heart, Heller's debut novel follows a pilot, Hig, and an ex-military man, Bangley, in their fight for survival. Although stuck together in an uneasy partnership, they each flawlessly compensate for the deficits in the other and guard their "home" — an abandoned airport — from marauding intruders. Even as danger lurks around every corner and death is present in every exchange, the two work together as a well-oiled machine. Yet, nine years on, Hig is lost and yearning for something he can't quite name. Leaving Bangley on his own, Hig takes off in his little Cessna and flies beyond the point of no return, holding onto the only thing he can — hope.
The Dog Stars is an achingly beautiful book with characters that are wholly human. It's a dazzling story full of loss, pain, and sorrow, but also truth. And every page is absolutely humming with brilliance.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A riveting, powerful novel about a pilot living in a world filled with loss — and what he is willing to risk to rediscover, against all odds, connection, love, and grace.
Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life — something like his old life — exists beyond the airport. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return — not enough fuel to get him home — following the trail of the static-broken voice on the radio. But what he encounters and what he must face — in the people he meets, and in himself — is both better and worse than anything he could have hoped for.
Narrated by a man who is part warrior and part dreamer, a hunter with a great shot and a heart that refuses to harden, The Dog Stars is both savagely funny and achingly sad, a breathtaking story about what it means to be human.
"Extraordinary....One of those books that makes you happy for literature." Junot Díaz, The Wall Street Journal
"This end-of-the-world novel [is] more like a rapturous beginning....Remarkable." San Francisco Chronicle
"Heart-wrenching and richly written....The Dog Stars is a love story, but not just in the typical sense. It's an ode to friendship between two men, a story of the strong bond between a human and a dog, and a reminder of what is worth living for." Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"A brilliant success." The New Yorker
"Beautifully written and morally challenging" The Atlantic Monthly
"Dark, poetic, and funny." Jennifer Reese, NPR
"An elegy for a lost world turns suddenly into a paean to new possibilities. In The Dog Stars, Peter Heller serves up an insightful account of physical, mental, and spiritual survival unfolded in dramatic and often lyrical prose." The Boston Globe
"With its evocative descriptions of hunting, fishing, and flying, [The Dog Stars], perhaps the world's most poetic survival guide, reads as if Billy Collins had novelized one of George Romero's zombie flicks." Publishers Weekly (starred)
"The Dog Stars can feel less like a 21st-century apocalypse and more like a 19th-century frontier narrative (albeit one in which many, many species have become extinct). There are echoes of Grizzly Adams or Jeremiah Johnson in scenes where Heller lingers on the details of how the water in a flowing stream changes color as the sun moves across the sky." The Dallas Morning News
"Heller's surprising and irresistible blend of suspense, romance, social insight, and humor creates a cunning form of cognitive dissonance neatly pegged by Hig as an 'apocalyptic parody of Norman Rockwell' — a novel, that is, of spiky pleasure and signal resonance." Booklist (starred)
"Terrific....With echoes of Moby Dick, The Dog Stars...brings Melville's broad, contemplative exploration of good and evil to his story." Shelf Awareness
"A post-apocalyptic adventure novel with the soul of haiku." The Columbus Dispatch
A San Francisco Chronicle and Atlantic Monthly Best Book of the Year
Hig somehow survived the flu pandemic that killed everyone he knows. Now his wife is gone, his friends are dead, and he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, Jasper, and a mercurial, gun-toting misanthrope named Bangley.
But when a random transmission beams through the radio of his 1956 Cessna, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists outside their tightly controlled perimeter. Risking everything, he flies past his point of no return and follows its static-broken trail, only to find something that is both better and worse than anything he could ever hope for.

First Look: 2012 Ford Taurus and Explorer Police Interceptor
Better than V12 Vantage??
Looks pretty bad ass honestly.Offtopic:I just happened to catch this on the main page where the blue mustang is drag racing the red bmw m3. Where they "tie" why are the mustangs brake lights flickering? You guys didn't purposely slow the car down did you?
@ E60, if you reference the V12 Vantage article, it actually said that they managed to get a V8 Vantage to 60 in 4.1 seconds with the manual. Quote:"I tested a V-8 Vantage manual a while back and recorded a time of 4.1 seconds 0-60 and a quarter mile of 12.5 seconds at 115 mph"Read more: http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/exotic/1008_2011_aston_martin_v12_vantage/index.html#ixzz0yJqSQkXpSo this thing still has merits, just not in auto form... That automatic is the biggest downfall! So really this thing is still faster than the mustang and camaro that were mentioned above, but again, that's not the point of these cars. It's supposed to be quick, luxurious and beautiful. Something to show up in a red carpet premiere.
@tonkatoytruck, if the station wagon you were referring to was the Mercedes E63 AMG, then that's really not much of a jibe to this car. The AMG benz wagon is one badass suburban transporter that pretty much spanks most other high performance sports cars in a straight line as well. So what's your point?
@ true enthisiast, Aston Martins were NEVER "slow". they just arent as fast as most exotic sports cars in the price range. With 429hp, 357 lb-ft, and a weight of less than 3500lbs, this car probably gets to 60 in the upper 4s and through the 1/4m in the lower 13s. Those times are still pretty high performance. Besides, the Maserati Gran Turismo (which is probably this car's biggest competitor) is no faster.And like what someone already said, luxury, exclusivity, brand cache, style, and top notch build quality are what most customers in the sales demographic of this car care more about.
Yawn. Give me a V12 Vantage instead.
Tonkatoy + Nannucca - I get what you guys are saying about the relative lack of performance for the price, but I don't think Aston Martin fans care too much about 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. The majority of the $100k price tag goes into the quality of the materials used, like the Alcantara, the top notch leather, the carbon fiber bits, etc. Materials you wouldn't find in any Mustang or Camaro. The typical Aston owner wouldn't care if your $30k pony car could smoke it. That's not what gives Astons their appeal. With that said, the Aston wouldn't be on the top of my list for six-figure sports cars, I just recognize that it has its own spot carved out in the marketplace. Even if its not my "cup of tea".
It's still gorgeous, but I'd like to see Aston put a bit more emphasis into updating their engines and transmissions. If you pay over $100k, you'd better get and engine with DI and a great automated manual, preferably with dual-clutch. Granted, they are on their own now, so funds are likely limited at the moment. Hopefully they can update the underlying mechanical tech (and the GPS unit too) without changing their exterior design very much. Astons are already the most gorgeous cars on the road, they just need to sloooowly evolve the design a la Porsche 911.
Aston Martin's were always slow, but they are beautiful, sound great, and are more GT than sport anyway. I would get a Z06 first, but this would be second once I had the garage space and the massive house.
tonkatoy truck im with you maneits a shame that you can go and get a new mustang 5.0 or a camaro ss well equipped for $32k and pull up beside this car for $132k and spank its a** in a drag race and make it look like it was from the 60s and still have you $100k left over for a house.
Would seem like an aweful shame to get your doors blown off by a station wagon after you spent $132K on a sports car that can barely get out of its own way by today's performance standards.No thanks!
lol @ name.

Video: Cuomo Signs New Gun Control Law
Video: What the Law Changes
By Jon Campbell, Albany Bureau
ALBANY -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a package of tougher gun measures into law Tuesday evening, immediately bolstering New York's ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines while giving the state more power to confiscate weapons from the mentally ill.
The new law made New York the first state to enact tighter restrictions on guns after the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. It came after a month of negotiations in which Cuomo applied increasing pressure -- both publicly and privately -- on legislative leaders to reach an agreement.
"I am proud to be a New Yorker today. I am proud to be part of this government," Cuomo said shortly before signing the bill around 5 p.m. "Not just because New York has the first bill, but because New York has the best bill."
The Democratic-led Assembly passed the bill Tuesday afternoon by a 104-43 vote. The state Senate, controlled by a coalition of Republicans and breakaway Democrats, approved the bill at about 11 p.m. Monday, less than three hours after Cuomo formally proposed it.
"We proceeded, one month after the tragedy of Sandy Hook, to say to the nation: It's not acceptable to ignore the common sense things governments can do to stem gun violence," said Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers.
The gun-control package makes changes and additions to a broad swath of state law, ranging from expanding background check laws to include private sales of guns and all ammunition purchases, boosting the state's power to take firearms from the mentally ill and increasing penalties for gun-related crime.
The bill includes an immediate ban on semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and pistols with a "military-style feature," such as a flash suppressor or a bayonet mount. Guns that fall into that category but were purchased before Tuesday were grandfathered in, though their owners must register their firearms with the state or sell them out of state within one year.
Magazines would be limited to a maximum capacity of seven bullets, down from the current 10. Ten-capacity magazines purchased before Tuesday will remain legal, but would become illegal if more than seven bullets are loaded into it.
The legislation would also include the "Webster provision," a mandatory life-without-parole sentence for anyone found to have killed a first responder. The provision is a reference to the Christmas Eve shooting in the Monroe County town, where two firefighters were shot and killed.
Criticism from gun-rights advocates and a number of Republicans in the state Legislature was swift.
The National Rifle Association, which had previously labeled Cuomo as "America's most-anti-gun governor," expressed "outrage" at the "draconian gun control bill that was rushed through the process."
"Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature orchestrated a secretive end-run around the legislative and democratic process and passed sweeping anti-gun measures with no committee hearings and no public input," the lobbying group wrote in a statement.
The Assembly's debate stretched for more than 4 1/2 hours, with various Republicans expressing dissatisfaction with the bill and with Cuomo's decision to allow a vote without the mandatory three-day aging period. Cuomo issued a "message of necessity," which allows lawmakers to vote on a bill immediately after it is introduced.
Assemblyman Steve Katz, R-Yorktown, Westchester County, said the bill -- known as the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, or NY SAFE -- is based on Cuomo's "misguided, egotistic notion that this will advance his presidential aspirations."
Cuomo is often mentioned as a potential Democratic presidential hopeful in 2016.
"We haven't saved any lives tonight except for one -- the political life of a governor who wants to be president," Sen. Greg Ball, R-Patterson, Putnam County, said during the Senate vote Monday.
Cuomo defended his decision to rush the legislation to a vote, which he said was in part to prevent a run on sales of soon-to-be-banned assault weapons.
"As soon as people found out that I was proposing a specific law that was going to ban the sale of assault weapons, we were afraid it would actually cause a rush on the market on people who wanted to buy assault weapons," Cuomo told reporters.
The new gun laws received praise from New York City Michael Bloomberg, a staunch gun-control advocate whose Mayors Against Illegal Guns initiative has aired television advertisements pushing for tougher laws.
"The responsible and comprehensive gun reform bills the governor signed into law today will help keep guns away from criminals and others who are already prohibited from purchasing them," Bloomberg said in a statement.

Your cart is empty!
I use this soap every time, it helps me to get rid of skin problems, my allergist recommended me this bar.I also use this soap for shaving purpose.
I no longer use conditioner and my shoulder-length hair is doing all right with gentle brushing to spread natural oils along the length and the alternating of the cleansers. I can even blow dry my hair when I really need to, but I usually let it air dry.It also works great as a body wash. (as it is intended to be for the skin) :) My skin is much happier since I have been using it and my son's eczema is better in control since he has started using it instead of soap or body wash.
I have dry, sensitive skin. I've tried a number of cleansers like this one (Cetaphil, Ponds cold cream, Boots cleansing lotion, etc.) and this one seems to work the best. It takes make up off well and doesn't leave behind a 'filmy' feeling if you just wipe off. If you do rinse with water, it doesn't leave you with a tight, squeeky-clean feeling. It really does leave your skin feeling moisturized and yet cleanses enough to get rid of the dirt and make-up! I'm very happy with this cleanser and will purchase again.
Used this when in the hospital then nurses gave it to me to take home. Liked it enough that I not only used it when I physically couldn't shower, but continued to use it in the shower. Really liked this product. CS

Do you know what unbiased opinion is? No. Not teen spirit. It's the results from the report released by VisionMobile on Monday comparing the top eight open source platforms on the market. Not to be found under the shade of Google's umbrella, this report sheds light on the marketing spin on Google's Android OS. . Accessories are designed to protect, personalize and enhance your mobile devices. Discover the innovative protection solutions that allow you to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes with stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside our brand nameprotection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression
Any newbie to the mobilization market knows that Apple's iOS is a closed platform. It has also done remarkably well in winning over the creative geniuses in the sub-markets for apps and accessory creation. Google's comeback to this success is that it is truly the best friend of app developers because of its "open source" concept. Let trend setting fashionable accessories express your unique style! Discover an extensive array of award-wining design protective cases and skins that deliver modern style, stunning design and smart protection. Make your mobile devices stand out. Customize your look - how cool can you be?
True, the leviathan's OS is more widely available to mobile device manufacturers and more easily distributed globally thanks to unlocked phones, but is it truly all that "open"? VisionMobile votes NO! In fact, the new report ranks it the most closed of the open source platforms out of the eight reviewed projects. As can be seen in the Open Governance Index (please see below), an in-depth review of the relative openness for Android, Wt, Symbian, MeeGo, Mozilla, WebKit, Linux, and Eclipse yields results that defy the lip service of the Google executive team. Enhance your mobility... turn your device into a power tool. Discover select electronic accessories specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
By excluding licensing models and instead employing governance as a core metric, VisionMobile determined that Eclipse is actually the most open of these projects, pulling in a score of 84%. In contrast, Google's Android came in dead last with an index score of 23%. With all the benefits of open source touted by Google, how does this add up? XMI Speakers have built a reputation for delivering uncompromised sound quality and a revolutionary design accentuating today's interactive lifestyle. Our earpieces and headsets combine sophisticated style and precision engineering that deliver brilliant sound for your total listening pleasure.
Follow the money. The firm concluded that the success of Android OS is in major part thanks to the significant financial backing of Google and its primary source of revenue. "Google has made Android available at 'less than zero' cost, since Google's core business is not software or search, but driving eyeballs to ads," the report states. "As is now well understood, Google's strategy has been to subsidize Android such that it can deliver cheap handsets and low-cost wireless Internet access in order to drive more eyeballs to Google's ad inventory. Get powered up for work, life and play easily and conveniently with desktop chargers, wall chargers and car chargers - all the power and energy you need for the mobile lifestyle.
This is no garage grown start up. Instead, Google's global presence, billions of marketing dollars (grace a carriers and vendors) and a drive to gobble up Apple's grassroots momentum are behind Android's success. Not its open source licensing philosophy. Nor its iconic, proprietary devices and end-user inspired mobile accessories.
Perhaps Nokia's CEO, Stephen Elop, stated it best this past June: "Apple created the conditions necessary for Android."

Anonymous Taunts North Korea
Anonymous has lashed out against Kim Jong-un, and there's no telling what the fallout might be. North Korea is unlikely to overlook the depiction of its supreme leader as a pig sporting a Mickey Mouse tee shirt. Nor will it ignore the group's crude sexual advice or the penetration of the country's IT systems, assuming those claims are true. Anxiety over how and when it may retaliate is generating some bloody fingernails.
Apr 4, 2013 11:38 AM PT
The hactivist group Anonymous has taken on North Korea, it appears, hacking into the country's official Twitter and Flickr accounts on Wednesday. It reportedly sent out tweets ridiculing the country's leader, Kim Jong-un, and used its Flickr account to portray him in an unflattering light, to put it mildly.
It appears that North Korea has regained control of its social media channels since the hack.
Anonymous announced its ownership of the event on Pastebin.
It cites North Korea's increasing threat to peace and freedom as the reason for its attacks, demanding that North Korea stop making nukes and nuke-threats; that Kim Jong-un resign; that the government install a free direct democracy in North Korea, and that it provide uncensored Internet access for all the citizens.
It also offers an unseemly suggestion for Kim Jong-un: namely, that he investigate the various penis enlargement products on the market because "if his d*ck wasn't so small he wouldn't feel the need to create large nukes and threaten half the world with them."
Such an insult to the leader of a country notorious for paranoia over its world status is not likely to be dismissed. Kim Jong-un -- a man in his 20s with a Western education -- is no doubt acutely aware of how easily such comments can go viral.
Sobering Thoughts
In short, this may not end well for other nations or for the people responsible for the North Korean accounts' security.
"When I first heard about this, the fate of the people responsible for maintaining those sites was the first thing I thought about," Robert Siciliano, CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com told TechNewsWorld. In a Western nation, the responsible government employees might be reassigned or fired. In North Korea, they could face a death sentence.
It appears -- based on Anonymous' description of what it did -- that this was a fairly comprehensive breach. The group claimed it was inside local intranets (Kwangmyong and others) and inside mail servers and Web servers.
It publicized some data as proof of its claims, describing it as records of "random innocent citizens, collateral damage, because they were stupid enough to choose idiot passwords."
Stepping Up Security
Without a doubt, North Korea will tighten its security, Siciliano said, but that will just be the start. The country has a history of aggressive saber-rattling -- as evidenced by current nuclear threats -- and it can be safely assumed that its attitude of aggression applies to cyberspace as well.
If North Korea isn't deeply into cyberspying, cyberwarfare and cyberespionage yet, it surely will hasten its efforts.
"When you are as cocky and unpredictable a country as North Korea, lashing out is a given," Siciliano said. "But at who? That is the question."
One likely possibility is the U.S., Siciliano said, "since North Korea blames the U.S. for everything that happens to them."

Anyways, I think it would be spectacular if we all got together before election day and held some sort of combined FSM/vote no on prop 8 protest - pirate costumes and all. If anyone is interested please let me know so we can discuss a date.

PS: Location can differ, SF seemed like a centralized location. On second thought though, SF probably has more supporters of no-on-8 than anywhere else. If you have a better idea of where this could be held, I'd love to know.
