Tissot T17152652 PRC 200 Men's Watch Review
In this world of cheap, virtually disposable watches that only last a couple of years and feel as lightweight as a rubber band around your wrist, it's an absolute pleasure to review the Tissot T17152652 PRC 200 men's watch. With its gleaming silver and black exterior, there are several features that make this Swiss-made chronograph watch something of an anomaly on the market.
It's hard to categorize this timepiece as a sports watch, because it combines the function and durability of a sports watch with the elegance of an all-occasion, casual/dress watch. With its jet black dial and gleaming silver stainless steel case and bezel, the Tissot brings off a sophisticated look yet has all the features top-notch sports watch: chronograph, triple subdials and stopwatch control.
The Tissot PRC 200 is no wafer-thin timepiece; the dial is 40 millimeters in diameter and the case is 11 millimeters thick, giving it the slight heft of a medium-sized sports watch, but it still comes across as dressy. The dial also features a tachymeter set into a beveled ring, which gives the crystal an even larger appearance.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about the Tissot PRC 200 is the price. At a price point of $300-$400, depending on where you purchase it, this watch offers the craftsmanship, accuracy and durability of watches several times this price. Its features are identical to the features on the Omega Speedmaster, which typically retails at more than $3,000. Aesthetically, the Tissot recalls the look of a Tag Heuer Carrera, which also retails in the thousands. Like the Tag Heuer and the Omega, the Tissot boasts a Swiss-made quartz mechanism that's geared for decades of use.
Function Features
The Tissot PRC 200 is extremely user friendly. To set the time, you reverse the stem to unlock it, and then twist it forward to set the date and time. The date window is placed strategically and unobtrusively at the four o'clock marker.
The face is highlighted by easy-to-read white luminous hour and minute hands, and the chronograph hands are tinted bright yellow so you won't confuse them. Design elements include white Arabic numbers at three, nine and 12, complemented by white index markers in the other positions. The three subdials include a split-second chronograph dial, a thirty-minute timer dial and a second hand dial.
The Tissot PRC 200 is guaranteed to be water resistant to a depth of 330 feet, and is topped with the same type of sapphire crystal shatter-proof dial typically used in high-end watches such as Rolex and Patek Phillipe. Its Swiss-made quartz movement is both accurate and dependable.
Style Features
One of the best things about the Tissot PRC 200 is that it pairs beautifully with elegant, dressy clothes as well as with casual clothing. It wouldn't look amiss on a tennis court, nor would it look out of place during a night at the opera. Its bright yellow chronograph hands give it a sporty look, while the elegant black dial and stainless steel bezel impart a stylish, bold glamor that's not easy to pull off in a man's watch, especially in this price range. One huge aspect of the Tissot's appeal is that it looks like it cost thousands of dollars, rather than a few hundred. People may do a double-take and ask to look at it; so when you wear it out, be prepared for compliments.
The watch band style is a combination buckle/clasp that fits snugly around the wrist. The closure is similar to the type used on a Rolex bracelet watchband, but the metal band itself is completely covered in leather. It's stylish, practical and easy to put on, and the snap-on style actually saves on the wear and tear of the leather.
Here are a few pros and cons at a glance:
• Split-second chronograph dial, thirty-minute timer dial, second hand dial, date window and stopwatch function.
• Easy-to-read, attractive dial with luminous hands.
• Swiss-made quartz mechanism.
• Sapphire shatter-proof crystal and waterproof case.
• Expensive look that replicates chronograph watches costing in the thousands.
• The leather bracelet strap is radically different than other leather straps, and some wearers may prefer to swap it out for a standard strap.
• The watch case isn't thin, but neither is it bulky. Likewise, the watch dial is large but not massive. Be aware of this if you're looking for a larger, heavier watch or a smaller, slim style.
Even with its rugged characteristics, the Tissot PRC 200 manages to truly merge functionality with form. To find any kind of a quality chronograph in this price range is a rarity. With its reliable Swiss movement, premium features and elegant, bold design, the Tissot PRC 200 is not only a rarity; it's virtually a unique find in today's range of mid-price watches.

Welcome to the start of the rest of your life—a life of slimness, energy, and confidence. You will be absolutely amazed at the spectacular results that this program offers simply by following the underlying outline. Remember, if you cheat, you are only cheating yourself. A positive attitude and low stress during this program are important.
This program takes a belief that you can "do it". Self-discipline and adherence to a straightforward simple scientific program will help you to achieve success. We believe that it is the easiest, most successful program "out there". And thousands of clients agree with us!
Once you have finished the program, you will have rebalanced your metabolism so that lifelong weight control is now within your reach. An astonishing 70% of people that properly complete this program do not gain any weight back. While you cannot go out and stuff yourself at buffets, eat loads of refined sugars and carbohydrate, you definitely can enjoy sweets, starches, fats, and oils—but you will have a new and appreciated awareness of what you consume, how much and how often.
An important point: with the Sci-Slim program when you have lost 16lbs, you have likely lost 16 lbs of abnormal fat. Whereas with other "diets", when you lose 16 lbs, you could be losing 8 lbs of lean body mass, 4 lbs. of good fat reserves and only 4 lbs of abnormal fat.
HCG targets the abnormal fat!
Everyone is different, and everyone will have different results. Some people will lose 9 lbs. their first week and only 2 lbs. their second week; while others will lose 4 lbs. week one, and 5 pounds week two. Do not get discouraged! Everyone slows down their dramatic weight loss at some point and may even hit a plateau. But by following the specific program outlined here, you will lose weight safely and rapidly from the areas that contain stored fat, and you will not only lose pounds, but more importantly, inches and dress sizes.
The body has three types of fat:
This program targets the unwanted, stored excess fat.
Unlike other "diets", this program reshapes and re-sculpts the body by releasing abnormal fat deposits in your body.
If you follow this program correctly, our scientific process will correct your metabolism and hypothalamus and allow you to make permanent changes in your weight and the contours of your body.
Generally, men will see quicker results than women. So if you are a couple or friends doing this together, do not compete against each other.
Usually vegetarians do not do as well on this program/protocol. They will enjoy success but not as much as meat eaters.
You do not have to exercise on this program, but you can. If you are currently exercising you can and should continue, as this is a good habit to have but your results are not dependent on exercise.
What is HCG and How Does the Diet Work?
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is a Bio-Identical Hormone/polypeptide protein that exists in every tissue of the human body in tiny amounts and is produced in large quantities during pregnancy. It allows your body to "consume" your abnormal fat for energy. Here is a simple explanation:
Scientific Fact: When you introduce a low-calorie diet to your body, it goes into starvation survival mode, desperately holds onto the fuel-rich fat, and breaks down your leaner muscles. The Scientific Result: You become tired, hungry, irritable, and finally you give up on the diet. You are not to blame—your body's survival mechanism overpowers your will power.
Why HCG Works: Our simple program causes your body to break down the fat for calories—not the muscle—easily and comfortably providing your body with much needed fuel. Hunger is gone. The more fat you have—the quicker you lose that fat.
During pregnancy HCG is produced daily in a quantity hundreds of thousands of times the amount you will be using with this protocol. In pregnancy, it harms neither the Mother nor the Child. In fact it is produced to protect the baby in the case of a pregnant woman who does not get proper nutrition or is hungry. The HCG will pull calories and nutrition from abnormal fat to feed the baby. In this same way, it will provide you anywhere from 2000 to 4000 calories daily from your fat, therefore you will not be hungry on this program even though you are only eating 500 to 800 calories!
Some people have said, "Well, if you follow a 500 Calorie-a-day diet, you will lose weight anyway." Sure, that is true. But what weight are you losing? And you are hungry. And you do nothing to rebalance your metabolism. With Sci-Slim, your goal is to lose fat, not weight. Following a traditional 500 Calorie-a-day diet will leave you fatigued and irritable, and within a few days you will start to retain water due to being "protein deficient". Without the HCG, you will lose both fat and muscle just as if you were on any "normal" diet. If you don't believe us, please try a 500 Calorie-a-day without the HCG. Also remember you are getting a minimum of 2000 calories from your fat each day which is why you will not be hungry, even though you are following a low calorie diet.
Some people will have a tough first few days depending on how "clean" your diet and lifestyle were previous to starting this program/protocol. Some people will suffer from "withdrawal effects" such as slight headaches the first few days as you release toxins from your body. Drink enough water to help flush these out.
Plateaus are normal with this program. It usually presents in a stair step fashion with a consistent large drop in weight followed by a slight plateau, or a slower loss for a few days. At least one significant plateau usually occurs in the second half of the program/protocol that can last 4-6 days. This is normal and will resolve itself in time so do not be alarmed. If you hit a plateau make sure that you are not constipated as that will stop or slow down your weight loss. If you are please purchase the Aloe Lax supplement which will prevent this from reoccurring. Going to the bathroom two to three times a day will really increase your weight loss. It can be the difference of an extra 5 to 10 lbs over the course of the program! Remember this is the only way the fat can leave your body. If you are not constipated and are on a true plateau then you have probably hit a benchmark weight that you were at for many months or years before. When this happens, your body can get stubborn and stop losing weight. Don't worry, it WILL resolve within a matter of days and you will continue to lose. We will give you a list of plateau breaking tricks that you can use.
Meanwhile, here's a quick simple tip: If a plateau does occur, one way to break it is to have an "apple day". On your apple day you will drink a minimum of one ounce per body pound of water during the day and eat slices of apple throughout the day.(maximum of 6 apples) Also make sure to take some Aloe Lax. That night have a small lean steak and a tomato. (If you don't like steak you can have a chicken breast.) The "apple day" usually resolves the plateau and weight loss occurs the next morning.
Your body will continue to reshape itself even during a plateau and you will continue to lose inches. Don't get hung up on the scale, inches are even more important and you will be losing a lot of inches. Sci-Slim will work for you if you follow the program as recommended. We have seen so many success stories with people who have had no success with other diet programs, but have done phenomenally well with this program.
We are here to support and answer any questions you may have. Please call us at (561) 353-1945. We highly recommend that you download for free Dr. Simeons' "Pounds and inches" from the Internet or purchase Kevin Trudeau's book, "The weight loss cure they don't want you to know about."

Ray Lewis is still a member of the Baltimore Ravens.
That's the way it should be.
It wouldn't have looked right to see him in another uniform. Did Johnny Unitas look good in a Chargers uniform? That's what Lewis would have been in another uniform.
Now he will retire playing only for the Ravens, which is the way it should be. Too many times players we identify with a team end up somewhere else.
That's not right. Now Lewis will be revered in Baltimore the rest of his life.
It's Johnny U, Cal Ripken and Ray Lewis.
That's worth a ton more than money. Plus, Lewis got a nice deal from the Ravens, three years for $20 million.
I like it that he's staying put. He should as well.
Ray Lewis not wearing purple wouldn't have been right. Lewis isn't the same player he was a few years back, and I don't think he'd be the same player somewhere else. The Ravens are perfect for him. He had to know that. When he didn't ger the play on the free-agent market he expected, he had to go back.
Ravens fans have to be thrilled.
Ray-Ray is staying where he belongs.

"This came in the nick of time."
Chris Riley
Fire Station 4 in Pueblo has seen much better days. Built in 1939, the building's wood frame has been badly damaged by termites. The upstairs sleeping area is dark and dilapidated. The oldest station in the city, the building is so old that it still has a working pole for firefighters to slide down during calls. The City of Pueblo has been planning for years to replace the station and faced the prospect of borrowing millions of dollars to complete the project.
Then came the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Recovery Act devoted $210 million, through the Federal Emergency Management Administration, for capital improvements at fire stations. The Pueblo Fire Department jumped at the competitive grant opportunity and won a $2.7 million grant to complete the station construction.
The new Station 4 will be located southwest of the current station in the El Camino neighborhood to accommodate population shifts and new companies. The building will be much larger than the old one and will serve as an emergency operating station and a training site for the city. The station will house extra vehicles and equipment. Most importantly, however, the new station will allow the fire department to reduce response times for emergency calls.
The city is currently building a second new fire station, Station 9, that was funded with a bond issue approved by taxpayers.
"At a time when our sales tax revenue is down, we're stretched with our resources. We were looking at having to come up with about $3 million," said Pueblo Fire Chief Chris Riley. "This came in the nick of time."
"This is the largest amount of grant money in the history of the fire department," Riley said. "The stimulus allows us to complete a mission-critical project … which will give us improved response times," Riley said. "This will benefit taxpayers."

|Fantastic route - one of the best pitches that I've climbed. Charles' comments are right on. Once you climb over the chockstone, you're committed to the route. I thought that the crux was located about 20 or 30 feet above the start of the crack. We also used double ropes, which significantly reduced the rope drag. If using a single rope, bring lots of slings. Great pro, great rock, and great climbing.

Plenary event for good practice in archaeological archives workshops
This was held on Wednesday 24 September at Marx Memorial Library, 37A Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0DU
This event was set up to review the Regional Archive Workshop programme that has been in action since 2012 and to discuss the future. The last workshop took place in July 2014 and information has been gathered throughout the programme of events on the current level of archive knowledge and specialised resources across the disciplines and within various settings in the UK.
This one day event gave an overview of the reason why the project started, how it was created, the findings from the staged evaluations and looked at the resources needed within the sector for the future.
Thank you to those of you who attended and helped us make some useful and practical decisions on the future of archaeological archives resources within the UK.
Good practice in archaeological archives workshops
The Archives Group have carried out a series of successful regional workshops designed to promote good practice in working with archaeological archives, to provide hands-on experience and encourage participants to engage with archive issues by considering new perspectives.
Wednesday 30 April, Birmingham and Midland Institute
For the full programme and details, please go to the event webpage at www.archaeologists.net/events/AAG-AGM-Collecting-archaeology.
At the AGM in May 2013, a workshop on a European Standard for Archaeological Archives took place, which included a discussion about the ARCHES documentation
The Group is open to anybody with interests, concerns or involvement with the archive process, and is free to IfA members. Non-members will need to pay a yearly £10 fee.

Special Circumstances - Professional Judgment
We understand that the FAFSA doesn't always capture your family's financial situations perfectly. That's why we utilize the Professional Judgment Process if special circumstances arise.
If you or your parents are experiencing any of the following, we recommend that you participate in the Professional Judgment process:
- Non-reimbursed medical, dental, or nursing home expenses (at least 10% of your adjusted gross income)
- Private school tuition (Pre K -12th grade) or day care expenses (at least 10% of your adjusted gross income)
- Change in employment status (lay off, termination)
- Other unusual circumstances that comprise at least 10% of adjusted gross income
If you are a dependent student whose parents refuse to provide their data on the FAFSA form and who do not provide any financial support, you may also complete the Professional Judgment Process. If your appeal is approved, please note that you would only qualify for an unsubsidized Direct Loan.
What to expect:
You will need to complete the Professional Judgment form in its entirety and submit all required documentation before your request is considered. Once our office receives this documentation, it will take approximately 2-4 weeks to review and finalize any decisions. All decisions are final and cannot be appealed.

Professor of English
Current Research
Professor Harris specializes in the literature and culture of early modern England, particularly the drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, as well as European travel narratives about the early modern orient and the Americas. He is interested in early modern understandings of globalization and the foreign, and how these have helped shape our knowledge and experiences of bodies, disease, commerce, travel, religious difference, material culture, and temporality. He is especially interested in things in motion: infectious diseases, foreign commodities, moveable stage properties, Shakespeare relics, and all sorts of other unexpected travelers in space and time. His current book project, Becoming Indian: The Event of Travel in the Time of Shakespeare, examines the embodied/out-of-body experiences of European travelers to India in the seventeenth century; he is additionally editing a collection of essays entitled Indography: Writing the "Indian" in Early Modern Europe. Professor Harris is also the associate editor of Shakespeare Quarterly.

I recently mentioned that I just returned from a fabulous trip to Spain. My next few posts will cover some of the incredible foods we explored while there. If you like to try new foods and cook, then Spain needs to be at the top of your travel list! You will not be disappointed! First up is Mercado de San Miguel.
The San Miguel Market was constructed in 1915 and is one of very few iron buildings preserved in Madrid. The market sits in close proximity to Plaza Mayor. The fascinating thing about this market is that you can opt to purchase goodies to take with you or eat at the market….with a glass of wine, of course. My favorite thing about this market is that it is not a tourist trap,. and you are among the locals crowding in for elbow room to eat paella.
Ham is serious business in Spain! Come hungry!
Paella is also a must have in Spain. Just look at the size of that pan!
Fresh fruit defying gravity! I love it!
Stop here and have some tapas. Then head outside to wander through the streets for more tapas!
I'm ready to go back!!!

6 inch lift kit
Posted 17 April 2003 - 02:58 PM
1. What will a lift and 33 inch tires do for my gas mileage?
2. Does the ride quality change with a 6 inch lift and 33 inch tires?
3. What is the down side of installing a lift kit? Wheel allignment, replacement parts, voided warrenty, maintaince etc.
4. What brand of lift would you recommend?
5. Does anyone know a GM dealer that will install a lift that will not void my warrenty. I am currently living in southern Ohio.
6. What will a 6 inch lift installed cost me. I do not want to buy the cheapest brand out there.
Any other thoughts or comments would be appreciated.
Posted 20 April 2003 - 10:44 AM
1. What will a lift and 33 inch tires do for my gas mileage?
Reduce it by about 20%. I went from 15.5 to 11 with larger tires and more lift than you are considering. Your fuel efficiency drop shouldn't be as bad.
2. Does the ride quality change with a 6 inch lift and 33 inch tires?
Yes. I think it rides better. Some think that their lifted trucks ride worse. It DOES affect ride quality. My wife was very skeptical of the truck once I had installed the lift. She's quite pleased with it, after having driven it. I haven't heard anyone complain that the ride quality was so negatively affected that they regretted the lift or would consider going back to a truck that was "in the weeds".
3. What is the down side of installing a lift kit? Wheel allignment, replacement parts, voided warrenty, maintaince etc.
Some parts will wear sooner on a lifted truck for a number of reasons. With a competent set of tires under the truck, you may be more inclined to use the truck for more than just driving around on the street. Uneven terrain is hard on any vehicle. Any vehicle driven off road will require more maintenance than if it were driven only on pavement.
Large tires are hard to balance. 33" tires shouldn't be much of a problem. Most places can't handle tires larger than 35".
Warranty issues will depend on the dealership. If you have any doubts, ask. I've had some warranty work done on my truck since it's been lifted, and while the dealership was helpfull on the first visit, for each subsequent visit they were less and less inclined to be poilte. These warranty issues were wheel bearings (from me getting the truk stuck in deep water and the seals not sealing), HVAC cluster lights, stereo lights, and the driver's side heated mirror. The bearings were the first warranty issue. I think this particular dealership just sucked.
4. What brand of lift would you recommend?
Superlift or California Super Trucks. Many people have very strong opinions about this. Once it's on your truck, you're very unlikely to change it. Learn about it first, then make a decision. It's a big investment that you will NEVER be able to recover. A lifted truck has a lower resale value than a stock one.
5. Does anyone know a GM dealer that will install a lift that will not void my warrenty. I am currently living in southern Ohio.
Nope. I don't think you're likely to find one in our state. I've heard of some out west.
6. What will a 6 inch lift installed cost me. I do not want to buy the cheapest brand out there.
A lot. New rims and tires will likely be about $250/wheel. You'll need five, unless you don't value having a spare.
I think a Superlift goes for about $1500. If you plan on using 4wd at speeds over 25mph, you should get a new front driveshaft, or at least have a double cardon joint installed on your existing one. AutoTrack equipped vehicles pretty much require a new front driveshaft, which is about $400.
You'll need to get your speedometer recallibrated. You can buy a performance programmer (superchips, hypertech, etc.) and have the ability to do it yourself whenever or as many times as you want to, or you can try to have it done at a dealership. The programmer is the easier way to go. For $300, it was worth it to me, even though I don't use any of the "performance tuning" available with the unit.
If you have 3.73 gears and you go to 35" tires (you said you were going with 33", but you may change your mind), you'll want to re-gear your differentials as well. Count on about $1500 for that.
Don't forget about an alignment.
I put my lift on myself with the help of a friend in my back yard. It took about 30 man hours. I could do it faster if I were going to do it again, and I would certainly do it again. In any event, I think it's worth about $1000 to have a competent, experienced installer do the work.
I think that adds up to about $6000 for a completely turn-key lift package that addresses all of the issues that NEED to be addressed. Once that's done, you'll want to look at step bars to allow your significant other to get in and out of the truck safely, a new drop for your hitch (I got a 10" drop adapter and a pintle), and maybe some cosmetic add ons.
Posted 02 May 2003 - 09:01 AM
On your truck however, I don't think you will want to run 6" of lift w/ 33s, get some 35 and crank a little. You'll clear them fine w/ minor trimming.
Posted 02 May 2003 - 04:51 PM
Gas mileage will not suffer that much and should even get a little better on the highways. I would go for the '35 just for the simple fact that it will look funny (skinny) on a lifted HD. They will look fine until you see another HD with '35 and by then it's to late.
As stated my lifted truck drives better now than when she was stock. My truck is a 2WD and your HD sits higher than my did stock. With a '6 lift you will be able to run '35 with no problems. It took me a '6 suspension lift with a '3 body lift to run '35.
The major down side (in my opinion) is the cost. That was my concern too before I lifted my truck. I talked to different shop and asked them if anything would wear or need replacing & there answer was it will be no different (wear) than stock. My nephew has been running a lifted truck for 3 years now with no problems. As for your warranty well the jury is still out. My truck is still under warranty and if I develop any transmission or drivestaft problems then I think I'm on my own. But everything else will still be covered.
I'd recommend RCD. That's what I have installed on my truck and it's one of the best lift kits for 2WD out there. I've talked to many shops and everyone with a lifted truck and they all agree. Quality parts.
No dealer will install a lift kit.
About $3000 give or take. Then it's a 4x4 then like the previous poster said you might need to replace your driveshaft. Your wheels will cost you $200 each and '35 tire will run you the same. Then you'll need something a programmer to correct your Speedo & odometer.

-the can-bak and the exaughts were done seperatly, so it wasn't included in the $4300 i spent for the lift

I looked on you webpages. Your trucks are cool. Please tell me that the kids who stole from you truck were caught (other than on film). I would have loved to see a picture of someone beating the crap out of them.
Posted 10 October 2003 - 04:26 AM
Some dealers do offer lifts with new trucks.
A lift will NOT void your warranty, but obviously there are some things that wont be covered if determined to have been broke due to the lift.
Posted 10 October 2003 - 02:47 PM
Check out my gallerie and tell me what you guys would do
Lots of nice mods and add-ons. I like that you haven't gone hog-wild with "adhesive accessories".
I don't know how the snowfall in southern Ohio compares to northern Ohio, but I doubt that it's very different. With that in mind, I think you'd get more use out of a set of all-terrain (or mud terrain) tires than you would from a set of low-profile street tires on 22" rims.
If they salt the roads in southern Ohio as much as they do between Toledo and Akron, then make sure you keep your old tires and rims for use in the winter - road salt and gravel isn't nice to fancy rims, and with a shorter sidewall, you have less tire between your rim and the crappy salt slush.
You don't have to get a lift to get larger tires. Bushwacker sells aftermarket flares for our trucks that allow for the fitment of larger tires (at the expense of cutting the wheel-well opening to a larger than stock size). Less expensive than a lift, and a little bit easier to reverse.
In response to "tell me what you guys would do", I'd go with the lift and 35" tires. It's a more functional mod than 22" rims, enabling your truck to do MORE instead of less.
In response to DiHappy's remarks, whether or not a dealership is legally obligated to honor the factory warranty on a modified vehicle has nothing to do with whether or not they will. My personal experience has been that they will honor the warranty as long as it is convenient for them to do so and once it stops being convenient, they will stop performing warranty work and make it inconvenient for the vehicle owner to do anything about it.
If it costs more (in time and money) to take a dealership to court (small claims or other) in order to compell them to perform a warranty repair that they are legally obligated to perform than it would cost to have the repair done outside of warranty, the warranty is effectively voided.
My experience may differ from yours. If ril850 or anyone else considering modifying their vheicle has any concerns about it, they would probably be best served to consult their preferred dealership.
Posted 11 October 2003 - 12:45 AM
I'm looking at some hummer 2 rims and 285-70-17 BFGoodrish All Terrains. They should fit without a lift and at least I will already have the rims when I decide to do the lift.

Posted 11 October 2003 - 09:10 AM
The look of just larger tires will be impressive and you won't sacrifice any or very little milage. With the lifed truck, you are looking to spend over $100 per month in fuel costs alone. I am sure it will be less with just a slightly larger tire size.
Just another thought!

Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance Hearing
Primary tabs
On June 23, the Mt. Washington Assoc. joined with the Glassell Park Improvement Assoc., the Arroyo Seco, Glassell Park, and Eagle Rock Neighborhood Councils and TERA to hold a forum on the proposed Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance. Over 200 people came to the L A River Center, to listen to and discuss with our councilmembers Reyes and Garcetti and representatives from Liveable Spaces, Central City Assoc., Southland Regional Association of Realtors, Century Housing and MWH Development Corporation.
Both our Councilmembers spoke passionately in favor of this ordinance that they are sponsoring, and both promised that they, also, are very concerned about the character of current communities. But both spoke to the urgent need for the City to proactively create affordable housing, to meet the needs of our current residents.
Councilman Ed Reyes stated at the very beginning that he would REMOVE the part of the Ordinance which would "Allow townhome construction of affordable housing units in single family detached home development." This was an item that caused great concern in all our residential communities.
However, Councilman Garcetti stated that he would rather allow townhome development in single family neighborhoods, but only where that provision already exists.
Carol Schatz, panelist and President and CEO of the Central City Association asked that the provision of the ordinance should be reviewed. Essentially, developers would be mandated to pay for affordable housing in the following percentages, as part of any new market rate development:
- 10% of all new market rate rental development should be set aside for households at 30% of Area Median Income (AMI), [$16,500 annual income for a family of 4]; or
- 12% should be set aside for households at 50% of AMI [$27,500 annual income for a family of 4]; or
- For new for-sale housing, 20% of units should be set aside for households at 80% of AMI [$44,000 annual income for a family of 4]; or
- 40% of ownership units should be set aside for households at 120% of AMI [$66,000 annual income for a family of 4].
Questions for the panel:
1. If not Inclusionary Zoning, then what vehicle or solution should be proposed?
People generally saw this ordinance as but one tool in the toolbox.
2. How will this ordinance affect current Specific Plan areas, Hillside Ordinances and Community Design Overlays?
According to supporters, the ordinance will supercede these other ordinances, but will be unlikely to change the zoning, as many of these areas are protected. Those against the ordinance stated that there is no guarantee that single family areas would be protected, especially if Section 5.2 is not removed.
3. The matrix for the ordinance (a spreadsheet provided to the audience, which can also be accessed at www.lacity.org/lahd/incllinks.htm) is not yet finalized. What should change?
These ideas would be part of the ongoing debate we hope to have throughout the City.
4. How would you assure that low income families could live anywhere in Los Angeles, rather than in only certain areas of the City?
Mechanisms are being discussed to require that in-lieu fees or affordable unit development must happen within certain zones in the areas near the new development. There is a fear that certain areas of the City will bear all of the affordable housing development.
5. How many units will be created under the new ordinance? How many have been created already?
44% of the units created already are affordable, due to developer incentives already in place. Opponents of the ordinance state that the ordinance's mandates will deter affordable housing construction, not encourage it. Supporters of the ordinance could not predict the number of units created under this ordinance, but were adamant that regulatory incentives and rezoning as they stand are not currently meeting the huge need in our city.
The meeting concluded with final statements and questions from the audience.
Beth Steckler of Livable Places stated that we did not build enough affordable housing, but we need to use every tool in the toolbox in order to create more housing in LA. The proposal was put together with the General Plan in mind, to protect single family neighborhoods and focus affordable housing in our transit corridors.
Carol Schatz challenged that "one size does not fit all." Housing leads our economies. Incentives make a difference. Citywide mandates will drive away new development. Your property values will diminish if our economy is injured. For-profit developers are housing Los Angeles. They should not be the ones to bear the burden of housing us all.
Tim O'Connell of Century Housing stated that regulation is the only way to control costs of providing affordable housing.
Brian Paul of the Southland Regional Association of Realtors stated that incentives work. Let's streamline planning! Rehabilitate the 50,000 units that the Gas Company says are not currently habited due to rent control and other issues. We also need to make sure that those who get the affordable ownership units are able to realize equity in their homes, rather than requiring it to be affordable in perpetuity.
Beatrice Hsu of Councilmember Garcetti's office rebutted that 107 cities have inclusionary zoning ordinances. The conversation should not be about whether or not to have this ordinance, but how to make this the best ordinance possible. We have a 90 day comment period that ends in the fall.
Mark Handel, President and CEO of MWH Development Corporation reminded the audience that pressures NOT to develop at all are the enemy of residential development. Why not create specific zones that embrace residential development, with all of the correlating benefits to those communities who embrace density.
In all, it was a very informative discussion. Inclusionary Zoning, and the correlated discussion of where we build housing for people who cannot currently afford to live decently in Los Angeles, is the most important discussion we can engage in about the future of Los Angeles and our economy. I encourage you to follow this debate and participate in the meetings coming up on this issue. The next discussion of this issue will be at the East Area Planning Commission July 7th.
-- Hilary Norton Orozco, TERA President
At the May 12, 2004, joint session of the PLUM and HCED Committees, the committees agreed to allow for an additional 90 days to obtain input on the proposed inclusionary zoning policy from the public, including Neighborhood Councils, the development community, housing advocates and other city stakeholders. During this period (ending date to be determined), the committees request that constructive comments on the proposal be submitted to:

Friends of the Loxahatchee River to host Busch Wildlife Sanctuary field trip
JUPITER - Friends of the Loxahatchee River will host a field trip to Busch Wildlife Sanctuary on Friday, Dec. 7.
The group will meet at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary.
There will be two tour times offered: 11:15 am and 12:00 pm.

This event is an outdoor walking tour that will last for approximately one hour. Walking shoes, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are strongly encouraged.
Busch Wildlife Sanctuary offers visitors a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about Florida's wildlife and natural environments. This unique refuge combines a nature center with a wildlife hospital. Nature trails lead visitors through pine flatwoods, oak hammocks, and cypress wetlands.
Along the trails are wildlife habitats exhibiting a variety of native animals from eagles to panthers, crocodiles, foxes, snakes, bears, and more.
The Sanctuary is located at 2500 Jupiter Park Drive in Jupiter, Florida 33458.
From I-95 (exit 87A) or the Florida Turnpike (exit 116), take the Jupiter exit, go east to the third traffic light (Central Blvd.), turn right and go to the next traffic light (Jupiter Park Drive). Turn right and make your first left into the Loxahatchee River District and follow the signs to the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary.

Backup Exec Library Expansion Option
I am having a LT05 tape which is currently connected to my backup exec 2012. I am plaining to purchase Dell 8 slot Tape library.
To my understanding that When you install Backup Exec, it just support for the first drive only which is my current LT05, therefore to make backup exec 2012 talk with Dell tape library, i have to purchase Backup Exec Library Expansion Option.
Do i understand correctly ?
Thank you very much for you help.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
If the library contains only 1 drive you don't need a LEO.
If the library contains more then 1 drive, you need a LEO for each additional drive.
The number is slots (tapes you can add) is not relevant.
You already have a standalone drive, you can also use the library at the same time without extra license.
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
Adding to the above comment, first drive of every RL is included...additional drives require LEO license...
for egs.
RL with Drive 1 & Drive 2
RL2 with Drive 3 & Drive 4
Drives 1 & 3 are included with Backup Exec base license...If planning to use Drive 2 & Drive 4, you would require additional LEO licenses,else not.
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH43073 - What is Library Expansion Option. and when is it necessary to use this option?
This technote explains what is the Library Expansion and when is it required...
I found this solution using Symantecs Knowledge base - SymWISE KB search (I just typed 'What is Library Expansion Option' in the search box... TECH43073 was the 5th technote down the search result)
You could also give it a try next time..

The team at Terrorbird Media is expanding its business to include publishing for its artists through Terrorbird Publishing. This sector of the business will take an artist-centric approach, allowing its clients to maintain full ownership of their copyrights—something not typical of most publishing contracts—while Terrorbird takes care of the administrative aspects and finds placements and new opportunities for the works.
Five signings mark the launch of the publishing branch, adding Deer Tick and Middle Brother's John McCauley to its roster, along with Deerhoof, Kyle Andrews, Rainbow Arabia and the Thermals.
"The idea of starting a publishing division was naturally born out of our sync licensing successes and our constant drive to do whatever we can to help the careers of our artists," co-founder Jess Caragliano tells CMJ. "We wanted to offer an option where the artist had no risk of getting lost within a huge roster, and where the artist could feel comfortable coming to us with any and all questions." In expanding to publishing, Caragliano also explains that it streamlined the clearance process for sync licenses, which are necessary to perform an artist's music alongside a visual medium such as use in a commercial, TV show or film.
Lauren Ross, Terrorbird's director of licensing, joins Caragliano in launching this aspect of the business, aiming to empower artists by allowing them to maintain the rights and full control of their works. In addition, the media company has partnered with Powis Music Limited in order to maintain Terrorbird's attention on music while broadening its reach as a publishing company. "We found that perfect match with Powis Music Limited, and we are very excited about the opportunities and services we are able to offer our clients," says Caragliano.

Sean Roosen-CEO said this in the news release:
The Canadian Malartic operations are expected to produce between 235,000 and 245,000 ounces of gold during the second semester of 2011 at an estimated cash cost of between $675-$775 per ounce. The progression is anticipated to continue in 2012 with the mine producing approximately 700,000 ounces at an estimated cash cost of $450-$500 per ounce.
Sean Roosen commenting on the forecast: "We are aiming to produce one million ounces over the next 18 months in a very favorable gold market. The expected strong margins should result in a payback of the project in slightly less than two years".
Investors should also take advantage of the sell off we saw in Centamin Egypt-CEE.to. At current price the stock looks very attractive.
Centamin Egypt -article regarding sell off: http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/31413/city-analysts-say-buy-centamin-egypt-as-stock-falls-over-25-pct-31413.html
NEW PICK: Porto Energy-PEC.v
Porto Energy is a fairly new listed company that had an IPO earlier this year at $1.00. The stock has been on a slide due to the market sell off and is now trading around .50 cents. The company has aprox. $60 mil. in cash and 257.8mil. fd. outstanding shares. At current prices I see some big upside in this stock and they continue with their exploration program. Plus, the market sell off have given investors the opportunity to buy this stock at current levels. TD Newcrest had a $2.50 target on the stock and revised it on Aug. 14th to $1.70. TD's reduced target still represents a 227% return. This is a speculation play with the potential of being a 5 banger. The drill will tell the story. Do your due diligence.

My New DIY Removable Clothesline
Summers in South Florida are really hot. One of my least favorite things to do when we were off from school was putting out the laundry to dry on my Mother's clothesline. To this day I don't know why I really didn't like it besides the fact that it was a chore and I had to brave the intensely humid and hot elements.
I remembered this when reflecting on the 100 degree temperatures we've seen here in Chattanooga (12 hours NORTH of where I grew up in Florida and decidedly HOTTER) lately and wondered why I wasn't capitalizing on the heat and drying my clothes on a clothesline? Especially since this little one has added to our amount of clothing being washed.
I decided I would have to construct one right away. The only problem? I have zero back yard.... Now our front yard we have no problem. There is tons of space for my ever increasing cottage garden. But seriously: who wants to hang out their laundry in their front yard? Not I...
So off to searching the internet for a solution and I found one and the best part was I could use my new power drill. Yes.... I found this tutorial that was not only perfect for a removable clothesline but it was super inexpensive to make $20. So after surveying my situation I found two perfect trees on the side of my house. So I had a chat with my neighbor and found out that she had always wanted to construct a clothesline too. So I made two clothes lines one for me and one for her. I installed the two eyebolts into the tree and either one of us can attach our clothes line and start drying. Neighborly harmony, helping the environment and saving money. It's a total win/win.
For now I'll start with the baby clothes (drying all your laundry on a single clothesline can be time consuming right?) and I'll see how it goes but I'm looking forward to the wonderful smell of clothes fresh from the clothesline.

MAP: Commuting in style as Google Maps offers route by punt in Cambridge
Posted: June 06, 2014|
If your daily commute is getting you down then why not take a punt on something different?
Google has launched the latest iteration of its Maps service where for the first time people will now be able to plot routes on every bus, train, tram and ferry across the UK .
The company has included a number of 'easter eggs' – intentional inside jokes placed within computer programmes, films or books – which offer quirky routes to liven up the morning commute.
In Cambridge, anyone plotting a route between Magdalene College and the Mathematical Bridge will now be offered the option of travelling by car, bus, on foot – and by punt.
Related content
Punting along the river would take around 45 minutes, according to Google, which is just over double the time it would take to walk to the bus stop at Drummer Street and hop on a bus.
Francesca Poglia, marketing and communications manager at Scudamore's Punting Company, based in Bridge Street, said: "We spotted it straight away and we've been sharing it with everyone.
"I think it's cool. It's just a bit of fun.
"It's funny that the other modes of transport in these 'easter eggs' include dragons, which shows Google sees British transport as mythical."
She said: "I'd be interested to know how they judged the time.
"It must be for self-hire punts as our guides could probably make it there and back in 45 minutes.
"Though there is no shame in taking that long, particularly if you have brought a picnic along with you."
Other tongue–in–cheek suggestions include hitching a ride on the Loch Ness monster from Fort Augustus to Uruquart Castle on either side of the Scottish loch, which would be four times faster than taking that bus at only 28 minutes.
Google has even estimated that it would take only 21 minutes to travel from the Brecon Beacons to Snowdon by dragon while it would take one hour and 16 minutes to take a royal carriage from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace.

Conflict: Denied Ops is yet another in a rapidly expanding line of games primarily designed to be played with a buddy. The problem is that many of these types of games use the cooperative play to mask mediocre mechanics. Is Conflict yet another example?
Well, the story isn't going to win any points for originality. It's not even memorable. You play as gruff sharpshooter Lincoln Graves or jive talkin' heavy weapons man Reggie Lang, a highly destructive, two-man team that specialize in doing all of the CIA's dirty work.
The game's slapdash approach to narrative has our heroes trotting around the globe in an attempt to stop some runaway nukes from falling into the wrong hands. Hollywood action movies are the obvious inspiration here so we're not looking for Shakespeare, but it's hard not to visibly wince every time anyone in the game speaks. The dialogue is laughable, trite, and cliché--even for a video game.
Denied Ops pares down the number of playable characters in earlier titles in the series from four to two. Because each one specializes in different forms of combat and weaponry, you'll find yourself frequently switching between the two throughout every mission.
And as you make your way through the 10 single-player missions, Lang and Graves will receive upgrades that trick-out their respective weapons and abilities. You'll get new toys to play with like a shotgun or rocket launcher. Or you'll get perks like extra ammo.
If you don't feel like switching characters on the fly, you can order your buddy to do simple things like follow you around, engage specific targets, operate equipment, and even pilot vehicles. Or you can ditch your AI buddy in favor of a real one.
Denied Op lets you play the entire single-player campaign cooperatively with another player either through Xbox Live or splitscreen. For fans of multiplayer, modes like deathmatch and conquest are available over Xbox Live as well, for up to 16 people per game.
The trouble with Denied Ops is that it feels completely generic from beginning to end. Lang and Graves are cookie-cutter action heroes with zero personality. It took us half the game to finally remember which one was which. And despite the exotic locations you're visiting, the enemies are little more than generic targets.
The gunplay is competent. It can really pay to play to the strengths of each character. It would be foolish to send Graves into a room filled with bad guys, but have Lang lay down some suppressive fire and Graves will be able to calmly sit back and pick them off one by one.
Your AI-controlled buddy, be it Graves or Lang, actually does a good job following orders and can really help thin out the massive number of enemies you face.
That said, this really isn't much of a tactical shooter. It's the video game equivalent of a cheesy action movie. There's a lot of shooting and lots of things blowing up--every level is positively littered with things that explode--but there's nothing of substance underneath.
Even with all of the shooting and pyrotechnics, the missions feel very ho-hum. There's simply nothing here that we haven't seen before or that hasn't been done better.
Conflict: Denied Ops looks like it's trying to put on a pretty show, but it doesn't quite have the goods to pull it off. The environments don't look bad per se, but they lack a level of love and care that would elevate them beyond mere set pieces. As you move throughout a level, it's easy to predict exactly when you're going to be ambushed, where the snipers are hiding, and what you'll be asked to do next. After games like Call of Duty 4 it's hard to go back to something as vacuous as Denied Ops and view it as quality entertainment.
Conflict: Denied Ops is not going to set the world on fire, no matter how many exploding barrels there are. It will scratch that itch if you're looking for nothing more than some mindless gunplay mixed with dangerous doses of testosterone, but there's nothing going on upstairs. And for a tactical shooter, that's not going to cut it.

|Economic assessment of cardiac resynchronization therapy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21070719 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiac resynchronization devices have been shown to be effective in treating heart failure. They reduce overall mortality, heart failure mortality and hospitalizations due to heart failure. The aim of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with that of optimal drug therapy (ODT) by carrying out an economic assessment in the Spanish healthcare setting.
METHODS: An existing model was adapted for use in the Spanish healthcare setting. The effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy was determined from published systematic reviews. The costs of the various interventions were determined using a range of Spanish data sources. The model adopted the perspective of the public health system and the time horizon considered was the remainder of the patient's life. The outcome variables were life-years gained and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained.
RESULTS: Overall, ODT, CRT and CRT with a defibrillator resulted in gains of 2.11, 2.8 and 3.19 QALYs, respectively, at a cost of €11,722, €31,629 and €52,592, respectively. Consequently, each QALY gained with CRT relative to ODT involved the consumption of €28,612 of additional resources. Similarly, the use of CRT with a defibrillator cost an additional €53,547 per QALY relative to CRT without a defibrillator.
CONCLUSIONS: The use of CRT without a defibrillator could be a cost-effective alternative to ODT for treating heart failure in a carefully selected group of patients. The study results were sensitive to uncertainties in many of the variables used in the model.

[efoods]U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Nidal Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
It is not known whether the intelligence agencies informed the Army that one of its officers was seeking to connect with suspected al Qaeda figures, the officials said.
One senior lawmaker said the CIA had, so far, refused to brief the intelligence committees on what, if any, knowledge they had about Hasan's efforts.
