EPA Collaboration with Singapore
EPA's cooperation with Singapore occurs largely under the auspices of the U.S.–Singapore Memorandum of Intent (MOI) on Environmental Cooperation. Under the MOI, EPA may cooperate with Singapore on a variety of areas including: air pollution management, environmental enforcement, and drinking water protection.
Our current work with Singapore focuses on promoting improved air quality and expanding access to clean water, through the activities described below. EPA's collaboration with Singapore advances our international priorities.
Explore our work in Singapore:
- June 2013: Memorandum of Understanding signed with Singapore Public Utilities Board on Sustainable Urban Water Management
- April 2013: U.S and Singapore adopted 2013-2014 Environmental Plan of Action (PDF), after reviewing accomplishments under the previous Environmental Plan of Action.
Building Strong Environmental Institutions and Legal Structures
In 2013, EPA developed and delivered an environmental inspections training course to approximately 50 participants in Singapore. Participants were primarily from Singapore's National Environmental Agency, and also included guest participants from the Indonesian Ministry of Environment. The course not only included discussions on the basic principles and skills for conducting inspections, but also an introduction to U.S. regulatory programs and pollution control and monitoring technologies.
Improving Air Quality
In 2011 and 2013, EPA hosted air quality management study tours for officials from Singapore's Ministry of Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) and National Environment Administration (NEA). Topics during these study tours included air quality monitoring techniques, control of air emission from oil refineries and petrochemical plants, and public health impacts from improved air quality. These discussions have helped inform Singapore's air quality management systems.
Expanding Access to Clean Water
In June 2013, EPA and Singapore's national water agency (PUB) signed an MOU to collaborate on sustainable management of water resources. PUB and EPA will cooperate to increase scientific and technical knowledge on long-term water sustainability. Areas of cooperation under the MOU could include: safe drinking water research; watershed management; and innovative wastewater treatment research. Officials from PUB visited EPA in April 2014 to identify priority areas of collaboration.
Reduce Exposure to Toxic Chemicals
In 2009, EPA hosted a study tour by Singapore government officials on terrain decontamination. During the study tour, the delegation met with enforcement, air quality, and emergency management officials at EPA. The delegation also toured decontamination sites and facilities in the region.

The event was the Division I State Swimming and Diving Championships, which were held in Canton, Ohio, on Feb. 22-23. Anderson High School was represented by six boys and one girl, while Turpin sent six girls and two boys.
Most of these fine young adults have grown up together in the sport - summer swim teams, club teams and, of course, the annual dual meet between the two schools.
The competition in Canton can be intimidating, as there are some schools approaching 5,000 students, offering some extremely talented and well-supported swimmers and divers, and very loud cheering sections. The setting is an old high school pool, flanked on three sides by towering bleachers.
Spectators have already purchased tickets, but the general seating set-up spurred the parents of Turpin and Anderson to band together to present a larger support section for our 15 athletes.
The approach allowed us to not only shower our athletes with shouts of encouragement, but to also form a warm appreciation for each other. As parents formed outside the venue at 3:45 a.m. on day one, in hopes of receiving 'numbers' for order of entry (the only way a 'team' can sit together), we traded stories, jokes and generally had a great time getting to know each other.
The division of labor has some of us (usually the dads, but not always) stand in the early morning line - others transport kids to the meet - still others deliver coffee and breakfast sandwiches to the ones in line?a complete effort.
Our teams represented the community very well, swimming wonderfully and earning points (please read about their accomplishments in the Forest Hills Journal).
In the meantime, we parents made a few new friends in Canton. We are separate, proud schools (which is how it should be); on this weekend we pooled our parenting resources to present a larger force at this incredible meet, which is considered by many as the finest state meet in the country!

Unselected in the 2007 Supplemental Draft, Patrick has bounced around the NFL ever since. He spent 2007 with the Giants, Packers, and Patriots. 2008 saw him with the Lions, placed on Detroit's injured reserve list, and subsequently subject to a release with an injury settlement and a brief stint with the 49ers. It's telling that with all their offensive line depth issues, the Philadelphia Eagles waived him on September 1st of this year. Still, Philly likes their linemen big and at 6-4 and 310 pounds, Patrick may be a better fit in a zone-blocking system like Seattle's.
"Matt Light from the Patriots," Patrick said, when asked who he'd like to be compared to. "I'm comparable in size and ability. I always admired guys like him and the Broncos' Ben Hamilton. Hamilton isn't very big but he is very effective and knows exactly what he should be doing on every play. I played in a zone blocking scheme under coach (Bill) Callahan like they run in Denver so I can appreciate what goes into it.
As Nebraska Sports Info put it, Patrick's collegiate ability was truly special. At left tackle for the Cornhuskers in 2006, the former defensive end "blocked for an improved Husker offense that ranks among the nation's leaders in rushing, passing, total offense and scoring this season. Patrick has protected the back side for senior Zac Taylor, who rewrote most of Nebraska's individual single-season and career passing marks this season. The 6-4, 290-pound Patrick also has blocked for a Nebraska running attack averaging more than 175 yards per game."

A mug shot compilation of meth addicts that shows how the progression of drug abuse impacts their looks over a relatively short period of time.
HINGHAM, Mass. - Police say a Massachusetts woman has been attacked by a wild raccoon in her own bed.
Hingham police Sgt. Stephen Dearth tells the Patriot Ledger newspaper the raccoon jumped on the 73-year-old woman's bed Wednesday morning when she tried to pet it, thinking it was her own cat. The raccoon apparently got in through a cat door to a back porch.
Dearth said the woman has non-lifethreatening injuries to her face and fingers and her cat wasn't hurt. The raccoon has been euthanized and is being tested for rabies.
Dearth said the woman chased the raccoon out of her bedroom, shut the door and called police at about 11 a.m. The officers found the raccoon still in the house, and a state environmental police officer trapped and removed it.
Police aren't releasing the woman's name.

Kanye West to Audience: 'I Contemplated Suicide'
Describing himself as a pop icon and "soldier for culture," West, 33, told the crowd "there were times that I contemplated suicide." However, he said, "I will not give up on life again."
"There's so many people that will never get the chance to have their voice heard" as loudly as his, West said Monday. "I do it for them."
West, who didn't say when he had considered suicide, is credited as director of the abstract 35-minute film, which features portions of nine new West songs, boldly colorful visuals and off-kilter camera angles. The mostly dialogue-free piece, set to premiere this weekend on MTV, VH1 and BET, will accompany Kanye's upcoming album, 'My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,' which will be released Nov. 22.
PopEater Hit the Streets to Talk Kanye Album Art and 'Suicide' Talk >>
After a prelude featuring narration from rapper Nicki Minaj, West's character, Griffin, is seen driving a black MTX Tatra supercar down a country road. Lying next to a hole in the pavement is a phoenix fallen to Earth, played by model Selita Ebanks in pink, gray and brown feathers.
He takes her home and offers this advice: "First rule in this world, baby: Don't pay attention to anything you see on the news."
The phoenix sits on a lawn with a deer, rabbit and sheep, then joins West at a private parade featuring fireworks, a marching band and a float depicting Michael Jackson.
Playing over those visuals are West's next single, 'All of the Lights,' which he said features Elton John on piano and an all-star chorus including Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Fergie and John Legend.
Ballerinas in black tutus perform in a scene featuring his current single, 'Runaway.' When the tune ended, there was applause from both the on-screen and live audience. In attendance were Morgan Spurlock, Ryan Phillippe, Pete Wentz and others in the entertainment industry.
West told them that after a "long, hard year," he'd found his "creative sweet spot" by thinking like "a 5-year-old at all times." Besides his mother Donda West's death in 2007, West said he'd also lost three other parental figures in the last three years.
"Everything has been taken away from me," he said. "I'm so not ... scared. I so don't care."
After the Taylor Swift incident last year, which he called "a moment of sincerity," West took a six-month break. (At the MTV Video Music Awards, Swift's acceptance speech for best female video for "You Belong with Me" was disrupted by West, who took the microphone to say Beyonce should have won instead for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).")
West said he moved to Rome and "was interning at Fendi" before finding the inspiration to get back to music.
He has hinted at the subject of suicide in his recent song 'Power,' which includes the repeated lines: "Now this would be a beautiful death – I'm jumping out the window, I'm letting everything go."
That song's remix is among the 10 tunes that West has released for free in recent weeks through his website, a buzz-building initiative he dubbed "G.O.O.D. Fridays" for his label imprint, Getting Out Our Dreams Music.
The producer-turned-rapper said that after 'Fantasy' – recorded in Hawaii with the likes of Q-Tip, DJ Premier, RZA and Pete Rock – he will release an album of songs with Jay-Z and another with Lupe Fiasco and Pharrell Williams under the name Child Rebel Soldiers.

"hateful bullies"..........Irony. That describes West perfectly. As for hateful, as with most people who throw that insult around, you don't seem too sophisticated about real emotions. Contempt is not the same as hate. Few people actually hate Kanye West - but any person of character would have contempt for him. For good reason. He has no decency, at any level. Read his lyrics. Look at his behavior and you see a wastrel. He is hopelessly focused on the image in the mirror. He's also a wannabe gansta - what respect does he deserve when his secret desire is to be a womanizing thug?

I have long thought that Kanye's many antics and outbursts could be indicative of depression or some other psychological disorder, and not merely of his being a jerk, which he may also be. I hope he gets the professional help that he needs. I hope that those of you wishing him ill also get help; you need it as much as - if not more than - Kanye does.

UNDATED (CNN) -- Istanbul's police chief says an American tourist, missing for nearly two weeks, died from a blow to the head. The body of Sarai Sierra was found Saturday in Istanbul.
It was originally reported she may have been stabbed to death. The woman was last seen Jan. 20, the day before she was to have returned to New York after a solo picture-taking trip to Turkey, Germany and Amsterdam.
Turkish police made the grim discovery on Saturday; a woman's body, hidden behind the old stone walls of an ancient city. Within hours, police identified her as Sarai Sierra, a 33-year-old mother of two and a native of Staten Island, New York.
Sierra had been missing for more than a week after disappearing during what was supposed to be her first foreign vacation. Turkish police suspect she's been murdered. Istanbul police director Huseyin Capkin says, "It has been determined that she was killed with a blow to the head...we need more time to investigate. It is not right to say anything about the ongoing interrogation of detained people. She was a tourist, traveling alone."
The last known images of Sierra are from security cameras that caught her on the night of Jan. 20 walking alone inside an Instanbul shopping mall.
Sierra flew from New York to Turkey on Jan. 7th solo because a friend cancelled coming along at the last minute. Sierra was an amateur photographer who shared her photos of Istanbul's mosques and skyline with friends she met on Instagram.
Sierra is believed to have met some of these Instagram acquaintances during her stay in Turkey and during a short side trip to Amsterdam. Sierra's husband Steven sounded the alarm after she failed to board her flight back to New York on Jan. 21.
Days later, Steven and Sarai's brother David Jimenez flew to Istanbul to help Turkish police with the investigation. In an interview with CNN last week, it was clear Steven, a New York City transit worker, was beginning to fear for the worst. He says, "Along with her missing, you're hoping that she's okay wherever she's at. That she's not hurting. That she's not cold. That she's being fed. That she's not consumed with fear."
The shocking news of Sierra's death devastated her family who have tried to protect her two sons from news of their mother's disappearance. As friends and family grieve in New York, police in Turkey have an urgent question to answer: Who killed Sarai Sierra?

Refused Silton wind farm 'a missed opportunity for Dorset'
Posted: November 09, 2012|
The company refused permission for four wind turbines in North Dorset has called the decision 'a missed opportunity for Dorset.'
Ecotricity appealed North Dorset District Council's decision to refuse permission to build turbines at Silton, but the appeal was turned down by The Planning Inspectorate.
A spokesperson from Ecotricity said: "We are surprised and disappointed by the Inspector's decision. We believe we had a very strong case for appeal and still maintain that Silton is an appropriate location for four wind turbines.
"Clearly we think it is the wrong decision, particularly given the expert professional advice from the Council's own Planning Officer."
The appeal against the Silton development was turned down for several reasons including the character, location and appearance of the turbines.
Dorset needs to generate 15 per cent of its total energy from renewable sources by 2020, but public opinion appears to be firmly against wind farms. A proposed offshore wind farm has come under fire from locals and Dorset MPs, while a report has suggested the county could benefit from geothermal energy.
"It is a missed opportunity for Dorset - the Silton wind farm could have powered the equivalent of 6,769 homes every year through clean, renewable energy: that would have been a big boost for Dorset's green credentials" added the Ecotricity spokesperson.
"But it's also a missed opportunity for the UK - in a time of general economic stagnation, green industry is growing - it accounted for a third of the UK economy's growth last year - bringing jobs and investment to the UK.
"We need to see projects like this delivered, not only to meet our climate targets, but to continue the momentum of the UK's green economy."

Dear IDW, as a long time D&D fan, I was hooked on the Fells Five comic line since preview issue 0. The art was stunning, lots of plot hooks, interesting characters, and the dialogue and character banter was so witty and so real for what might actually take place around a game table. So I was pretty crushed when weeks went by without a new issue, then it became months, and I eventually found out it had been "temporarily put on hold".
I don't know whether the decision to shelve the Fells Five stories is really permanant or temporary. If its temporary, I can't understand why. You only lose readers and people will find it harder to pick it up again if or when you do revisit it. I also don't know whether it has been imposed by Wizards of the Coast in favour of pushing their new focus on Forgotten Realms (it would certainly match their structure on focussing on FR for a time and leaving their Nenteir Vale/Points of Light main setting), but I wanted to register my disappointment with this, and provide a place where other fans can comment and add their requests to bring back further story lines. There is a large post in the D&D section under "future of the D&D comic" where a number of readers have already speculated and requested this.
There are a lot of great plot threads that have been set up in previous adventures still to be explored and three story arcs is much too short for the life of the D&D comic.
I've had a look at the FR comic, and - sorry to all those who worked hard on it - it just doesn't match the lofty standards set by the Fells Five D&D comics. The areas that made FF so great - the art, plot hooks, witty dialogue, action and adventure - its just missing. The problem when you set such high standards in one area is that readers want to hold you to it on future products.
Please bring back Fells Five!
And if not, at least thanks for giving us what you did of them.

I was wondering if anyone had used arm and leg warmers in place of tights for fringe season backpacking. I already use a pair of pearl izumi arm warmers along with a short sleeve shirt and I really like the way they perform.My main concern was slippage of the leg warmers over time while hiking. Does anyone use a pair? Any tips for keeping them up?
Hello,I use a pair of wool arm warmers in the Fall and Spring as well. They work wonderfully as long as they are super tight or they fall down. I also tried knee warmers but did not have great results. They constantly fell which was super annoying so I ended up just taking them off. I cannot say I recommend them. BUT if you are just going to use them in camp or to sleep in, they do the trick and save weight.
I just got back from Mt. Shasta where I found out at 5* that my old sleeping bag has lost some of its warmth. Fortunately I had a primaloft jacket with arms that zip off. My core was warm but my legs where freezing. I zipped the arms off and put them over my legs, I was actually able to get a little shut eye with this method.I have never tried anything while hiking but maybe sewing a loop to the warmers like Jonathan describes could be of help. I am thinking rain chap stylefor reference, a link to some rain chaps...http://www.mountainlaureldesigns.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_id=77&osCsid=85d7d37dd844927ac01d3287930d4c2e
My wife and I have also tried our Pearl Izumi (cycling) leg warmers for hiking. Hers work. Mine slip too much.I'll probably build a solution when the weather cools. I intend to put a couple buttons at the top of the warmer and button holes in the cuff of shorts. Or string loops from the inside of the waist band (somewhat like a garter belt) could attach to the buttons. The task should take slightly longer than writing this post.update: I ripped the top hem and unrolled to uncover the elastic. Better grip and extended to a better spot on the leg.
Edited by tippymcstagger on 11/07/2008 16:27:54 MST.
I made my own from an old tight fitting Polar Tech PowerStretch shirt. After some frustration with the arms slipping down, I sewed a small piece of Velcro to the top of each arm. This helped a great deal but has not completely solved the slippage problem. I'm thinking about adding some sort of yoke to them perhaps with a button or snap attachment so the yoke is removable. The yoke itself will be the old crew collar plus some shoulder fabric from the original donar shirt.I've never used leggings. Seems like they'd be trouble. I like tights better.Peter
I love the idea of buttons on the leg warmers and button holes on my shorts. I really think this is a great solution to the issue of slipping which was my only hold back from going with this instead of tights. The way I see it I've saved around 3 oz's and gained a lot of mobility. I'll put a button in the back and one in the front. Since I usually hike in conv. pants I can put a button hole in very easily without effecting the performance of the pants in any way.
My Ibex wool arm-warmers are among the most versatile garments in my outdoor wardrobe. My arms are proportionally short for my torso, so instead of tops with too-long sleeves, for all but winter I wear a short-sleeve top and arm-warmers. Arm-warmers work particularly well with vests. This combination gives you more options than a sweater or a fleece jacket for locating the ventilation/warmth sweet spot during aerobic activity. Ibex makes them in 4 sizes, so you have a good chance of finding a good fit.
First post on this forum, after following it for months.I use 2-safety pins for each.If running, I pin them to the inner leg liner. For hiking, I pin them to the inside of pant/short leg.For the arms, just pin to the sleeve.
I have used arm warmers. They work well. But they are a lot heavier than they ought to be.
Back in the day before I knew about convertable pantsI always used the wool arm/leg warmers from my bike touring kit. The arms always stayed up, but the leggings would work their way down in fairly short order, a result of the hiking shorts being loose at the hem rather than tight like cycling shorts. The first time out with them I used safety pins from my repair kit to hold them up; later I sewed on elastic bands around the top and applied some silicone stripes for grip. At the time the light weight was appreciable (215 g); however, comparing them to the zip-off legs of convertables (175 g), not so much. For shoulder season though they can be a useful addition when the temperature can drop 15-20 F in half an hour because of an approaching front and worth the extra weight for the comfort.
Edited by TarasBulba on 06/06/2009 13:31:11 MDT.
I bought a fleece sweater from the thrift store and cut off the arms. I put an elastic drawstring on the large ends. I can use them as arm warmers or as leg warmers or even as sleeping socks if I cinch up the drawstring at my toes. This has turned out to be a really good addition to my kit. Lighter than the bicycle ones and lighter than my old wool sleeping socks. I can use them as a pillow when not needed. 4 uses.

Alternate title: The Yank, Green Street, Hooligans
Along with war, sports has long been the arena for straight men to work out their issues with one another, and while not stated outright, it's brutally clear that all the punching, pounding, shoving, stomping and head-butting in this film are the vehicle for some serious sublimation. The love that dare speak its name here is for football. The love that dare not is among nominally heterosexual men who prefer hoisting a few pints, and generally more, with their mates down at the pub rather than staying home with the little woman. Such is the case in "Green Street Hooligans," an accidental advertisement for Alcoholics Anonymous and the somnolent pleasures of cricket that, in the end, is mostly about the pleasures, both visceral and visual, of violence. The trace of a plot wedged between all the body blows involves a young American, Matt Buckner (Elijah Wood), who, after getting booted out of Harvard, ends up in London ladding about in support of West Ham United Football Club.

A Massey Ferguson® Fan for Life
When Bob and Darren Littleton purchased a lightly used Massey Ferguson® 8690 tractor about a year ago, the father-son team came full circle.

Yesterday was the first local antique market of the season and boy, was it a good one.
I found these old watercolors for $8.00 and snatched them up. Aren't they beautiful? Fingers crossed that they'll be high quality and useful (doubtful). But if not, they're still a treasure. I might do a little painting this week and test them out.
I also brought home this wooden set of flat file drawers to hold supplies and paper. I have one already, but I couldn't pass up another, especially since the other one is full to the brim with prints and original paintings.

Let me just start out by saying, I'm not perfect, But sometimes I try to be. I've made mistakes. I've taken the easy way out. I've lied to my friends. I've hidden the truth so many times from so many people. I've hurt people, and I've even done it on purpose. I've left people behind. I've spread rumors. I've said things that I didn't mean. I'm no better than anyone, anywhere. I'm human. I have faults, and I'm not afraid to admit that. I want to change, but I can't. Because that's what we do. That's what we've always done. We list our faults like a grocery list, and we move on, expecting everything to somehow change itself. It never will. I will never change. I will never be perfect. I will always make mistakes. I'll, more often than not, take the easy way out. I will lie, hide the truth, hurt people, leave people behind, spread rumors, and say things I don't mean for the rest of my life. But when you come to accept the fact that you do it too, we can see past it all.
I have returned to Vegetarianism and proud to be returning after three years.
I have many hobbies and love to help others as well as animals.
I have the best companion in the world who is a one eyed cat named Simon, he is my joy and happiness.

Clarke cleared in land swap
WASHINGTON - A nearly two-year investigation into Bureau of Land Management Director Kathleen Clarke's role in the aborted San Rafael land exchange has cleared the Utah native of wrongdoing.
Interior Department Inspector General Earl Devaney initiated the investigation in August 2003 after identifying 14 meetings or contacts with parties involved in the Utah land exchange.
The discussions could have violated the recusal agreement that Clarke, who had been director of the Utah Department of Natural Resources, entered into to prevent conflicts of interest.
The land exchange between the BLM and the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration was scuttled after BLM whistleblowers complained that the state was receiving land worth as much as $117 million more than it was giving up, including turning over some of the most valuable oil shale lands in the world.
In a letter earlier this month, Devaney notified Assistant Interior Secretary Rebecca Watson that the Office of Government Ethics had reviewed the report of the inspector general's findings and determined that "the information in our report did not support a conclusion that Ms. Clarke violated any rule of law, or any of the disqualifications applicable to her at the time of the meetings and contacts at issue."
"Therefore, the OIG is closing its file in this matter. No further action is anticipated," Devaney wrote.
The full report was being edited by the inspector general's office to cut out information deemed private, and it was not available Tuesday. Clarke did not return phone messages Tuesday seeking comment, but Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, a supporter of Clarke and sponsor of the land-swap legislation, was glad the inquiry was over.
"I want to see what [Devaney] says to justify the years he's kept Kathleen Clarke from doing her job," Cannon said. "The personal cost of having someone investigate and claiming and using the force of government is hard to understand until you've been through it and the treatment she has had has been wrong."
Devaney forwarded the report of his office's findings to the Office of Government Ethics in November 2004, where it languished for months. There were a series of discussions between Devaney and the office. In April, shortly after Devaney told The Tribune of his frustrations with the delays, the ethics office sent its letter.
It is unclear why Devaney's letter to Watson was not sent until this month. Devaney was out of the office Tuesday.
In 2002, then-Utah Gov. Mike Leavitt announced plans for a major land swap consolidating federal land in Utah's San Rafael Swell so President Bush could designate the area a national monument. In exchange, Utah's schools would get proceeds from development on lands acquired from the federal government.
After whistleblowers raised concerns the deal was a taxpayer rip-off, Devaney's office investigated and reported in 2003 that federal officials negotiated away valuable mineral rights and sought to conceal the exchange's actual value from Congress.
He also raised questions about Clarke's participation in meetings and briefings on the issue, even though she had committed to remove herself from department actions affecting the Utah Department of Natural Resources.
After questions were raised about the land exchange, Clarke clarified her recusal to apply specifically to matters involving Utah land exchanges.
The specific 14 meetings investigated by the inspector general's office are not clear, but there were several meetings noted on Clarke's calendars that fit the description, including meetings with the Utah BLM director, the director and lobbyist for the school trust lands, and Leavitt.

Intuitive, Comfortable, Easy-to-Use
Introducing the most elegant and sophisticated 2-Way remote controls in Python history, operating a state-of-the-art, data enabled 2-Way vehicle security and remote start system that will install faster, with fewer wires, and demonstrate best-in-world vehicle integration, operation and performance.
Inside the remote, the simple user interface is powered by an 8 MHz microprocessor running the SuperCode protocol for advanced, software-based digital encryption and function control. There has never been a remote more intuitive, comfortable, and easy to use!
Remote Start
Allows a vehicles engine to active without physical contact from the user. This feature is useful for warming up your vehicles engine and transmission to operational temperatures. In cold climates you can have your interior hot or in warm climates you can cool it down before use. All of this can be done while in the comfort of your home or office.
Keyless Entry
Performs lock and unlock tasks without physical contact with the vehicle. Power door locks can be controlled from several feet away or even within a building using a remote fob. The fob emits a radio frequency that is digitally encoded to prevent frequency stealing so no one can enter into your vehicle without your wireless transmitter.
Dual Zone Shock Sensor
This shock sensor utilizes warning chirps for minor disturbances and will trip the alarm if it detects more serious impacts or disruptions. Most dual zone shock sensors have adjustable sensitivity to reduce false alarms or warnings. These sensors let would-be thieves know that your vehicle is equipped with an advanced alarm system and to keep away.
Dedicated Trunk Release
This unit comes with trunk release capability and remote control integration for OEM alarm or add-on trunk release systems. Pop your trunk using your remote transmitter for convenience and ease of use. Carrying a handful of groceries? Arms tied up with luggage? Pop the trunk without using your key so its open and waiting for you when you arrive.
2-Way Paging
Send commands to your remote start or alarm system and receive confirmation that those commands were carried out. Obtain updates on your vehicles security status and get driver pages on the remote. If your vehicle is being tampered with, your remote transmitter will warn you and set off the vehicles alarm.
Security: This means that the car alarm system is just that. No bells and whistles, just a car alarm system.
Remote Start: when installed, this allows the user to start a vehicle from a remote location. Remote start modules and security with remote start alarms often require an additional vehicle specific bypass module to complete installation.
Security with Remote Start: This means that the system incorporates both features listed above.
A dual zone shock sensor is a feature of proximity and shock sensors only. Zone 1 ( light impact on shock sensor and short motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger warn away chirp to warn intruder that car has an alarm without setting off the full alarm. Zone 2 (heavy impact on shock sensor and extended motions(adjustable) on proximity sensor) will trigger the alarm to go off.

I purchased this product about 6 months ago and had it professionally installed. I was having a problem with the passlock security system in my car when it got cold outside. I needed to install a remote start system and a PLJX bypass module in order to help minimize the effect of this problem through the winter. I must say that I have not been disappointed with this product. I have been able to start my car without a problem for all of winter. I love that the remote talks back to you, knowing when your car is locked, unlocked or running without having to go outside and physically see. It is pretty awesome. Also, the range on this remote (I've only used the two-way remote) is impressive, with a good battery, you can communicate with the car before you can even see it.

Looks like the front plate may be on its way out, getting a little loose.

The Deploy Snow Shovel by Black Diamond achieves two important goals-maximum snow removal using the most efficient of blade size and shape and no-brainer fast deployment in emergency situations. A unique patent-pending trapezoidal bent shaft collapses into the 6000 series aluminum blade's pocket, allowing you to store the two components as one and deploy quickly with the squeeze of a spring pin. The stiff, trapezoidal shaft does not rotate, allowing immediate spring-pin engagement and its ergonomic handle feels like a D-grip but packs like a T-grip-small but glove- and mitt-friendly in one elegant design. A smooth and flat shovel blade makes for easy pit analysis.

Omega 6:Omega 3 Ratio and Progression of Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation has been shown to prevent specific age-related changes in the retina through biochemical and functional evaluations, but it is unclear whether increased DHA intake-reflected through elevated DHA+EPA blood levels-can affect the natural history and progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD is a disease affecting the macula, the part of the eye containing cone photoreceptors at the center of the visual field. The macula is responsible for vision in most daily functions, including reading, seeing fine details, and colour recognition. Severe AMD can lead to a central scotoma, severely impairing daily functioning. AMD can be divided into two forms: the more severe wet AMD, consisting of proliferation of new blood vessels in the retina, and dry AMD characterized by the development of drusen, a buildup of extracellular material . The investigators are focused on the group with the highest risk of developing the two advanced forms of AMD [wet AMD or central geographic atrophy]: patients with unilateral wet AMD and dry AMD in their other eye. The study will consist of following up a cohort of such subjects and monitoring their visual function in a comprehensive manner. Working in concert with clinical ophthalmologists and basic scientists, the investigators will monitor "DHA+EPA" and "Omega6:Omega3 fatty acid ratio" levels in the blood, inherited predispositions through genetic analysis, lipofuscin (an accumulated waste product) levels & AMD progression via fundus photography, visual acuity, and retinal function via full-field and multifocal electroretinograms. These different factors will be cross-correlated and evaluated to determine how omega-3 fatty acids affect the progression of AMD.

Pizza Hut To Test 'Pizza By The Slice' in York, NE
By Kristi Salyers. CREATED Jan 13, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) - Pizza Hut plans to start offering pizza by the slice for the first time in two test locations this week, as the chain looks to keep pace with trendy competitors offering quick, made-to-order pies.
The chain says the two locations - one in York, Neb. and Pawtucket, R.I. - will open Tuesday.
A slice will cost between $2 and $3 and take 3 to 4 minutes to heat up. They'll be made with new recipes more in line with the thinner pies sold in the Northeast.

The USU Eastern womens volleyball team completed their 2011 season trading a win and a loss against top ranked teams from North Idaho College and College of Southern Idaho.
On Friday, Eastern faced off with NIC, the fifth ranked team in the NJCAA national Division I poll, and came away with a three-set sweep (25-19, 27-25, 25-22).
Looking past the ranking, Eastern jumped out to an early first set lead 7-2. NIC battled back closing the gap to 9-8 before Eastern built another lead that grew to 17-11 thanks to a kill from Kylie Cordon and two attack errors from NIC. Eastern eventually closed out the first set with a 25-19 win.
In the second set, Eastern played from behind as NIC struck early and often building a large lead at 10-1. Eastern began trading points with NIC, until breaking through late in the set with three straight points to tie the set at 22-22.
The teams again traded points with each other until Eastern's Miranda Parkinson scored on a kill to tie the set at 25-25. Eastern won the set 27-25 after back-to-back attack errors by NIC.
In the third set, NIC took another early lead at 10-5. Eastern was able to close the deficit and tie the set at 12-12 with kills coming from Parkinson, Joy Malone and Lindzey Bair.
Eastern eventually took the lead at 20-19 and never relinquished it again, taking the set 25-22 and finishing the sweep on a kill by Whitney Fieldstead.
Parkinson led the team in kills with 10 and Malone, Cordon and Fieldstead each finished with seven kills.
Danee Merrell finished with a team-high 33 assists.
Abigale Ericson had 13 digs. Parkinson chipped in eight and Cordon and Fieldstead each had six digs.
The next day Eastern squared off with the ninth ranked College of Southern Idaho but fell short in a four-set loss (25-20, 14-25, 20-25, 13-25).
Eastern trailed early in the first set before scoring six points to take a 6-4 lead. CSI and Eastern would trade leads until Eastern took the lead for good at 17-16 on a kill by Malone. They eventually took the first set 25-20.
In the second set, CSI began to take control thanks to errors from Eastern. CSI took an early 9-2 lead and built on it leading 18-8 before closing out the set 25-14.
With the game tied at one set apiece, Eastern took leads in the third set at 7-3 on a kill by Cordon. They again traded points until the game was tied by Eastern at 18-18. CSI would not give up the lead as they took control of the game with a 25-20 win.
In the fourth set, CSI ran out to an early lead at 4-0 and 9-2. They would continue to build on the lead and took the set 25-13 to complete the win.
USU Eastern (6-20 overall, 3-7 in Scenic West Athletic Conference play) still has one final shot to make some noise and play the role of spoiler during the SWAC Conference Tournament on Friday and Saturday in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
USU Eastern, who finished fourth in the conference, will play Snow College on Friday at 1 p.m. If Eastern wins, they would advance to play the top seed NIC later that day at 4 p.m.

LeAnn Rimes feels Justin Bieber is 'stupid'
LeAnn Rimes has called Justin Bieber "stupid" for not being able to behave in front of the cameras.
The American country singer told Joan Rivers that she actually could not understand why the 20-year-old pop star was always caught in the act, the Mirror reported.
The 31-year-old singer asserted that she always said that if one was going to party like Bieber did in Ibiza, one should not leave their house and according to her people were stupid nowadays as everybody had a camera phone which just made it worse.
Whilst talking about Bieber, Rimes added that when one thought they owned the world, which anybody could, she had the same feelings, that they knew everything at the age of 16.

most comfortable rain boots
"These boots are very comfortable and not bulky like a lot of rain boots. The shaft is made for smaller thighs. I have 13 inch thighs and it fits perfect with skinny jeans. I am 5'1" and the boots comes to 3 inches below my knees. If the shaft is an inch or two taller, it would have been the perfect rain boots.I am a size 6 1/2. Size 7 was not available so I ordered a 6. Unfortunately its a little tight so I will have to return it. Will order size 7 when it becomes available. Definitely highly recommended."

Inspection issue?
"I was very disappointed when i received these boots. The seams are not centered at the back and the boots look like they were just thrown together. I'm not even sure how these boots made it past inspection."

"They are very comfortable and warm. I am so happy I invested in these boots. They are light and not bulky like most rainboots. The only downfall is that your pants twist as you walk with them if wearing skinny jeans but I'll take that considering they are comfortable."

Overall decent boot
"Its a little narrow so you definitely want to size up. Its a nice durable boot but there isn't anything special about it that makes it stand out so I would probably be returning it and getting another boot. But very warm and tight so no rain water would get in!"

Daisy Dee Collins was the very definition of a firecracker. Bright, crackling, lovely, and more than a little dangerous.
She died Tuesday, we pray peacefully, after seventeen legendary years. Her spark will be dearly missed.
Daisy, 1993-2011
Karyn and I promised one another that we'd put one little thing into the world each month in 2011. What constitutes a "thing" is up to us, not yet defined, and most likely to include elements of participatory art, gooey sweetness, and digital experimentation. This month we struck out with super low-tech stickers and sharpies.
Behold the January edition: thought bubble graffiti! I smacked this one up on the window of a defunct bank teller drive-through near my house, where some skater kids spend most evenings. Here's hoping one of them decides to fill in the blank bubble. I walk past it on the way to Marta, so will keep an eye out. I also stuck a few others around town today. Crossing my fingers there'll be something to find when I go back.
Hooray! This magazine was my first online love. Now, if only Open Letters would make a reappearance. Oh how I adored those printable PDFs with their sweet little New Yorker-like illustrations at the tops of the pages. Always thought I'd do my own printable mag someday, but iPad makes the idea seem a little antiquated. Maybe will save for the day when paper goes retro chic. (Or perhaps it already has?)
This is a video trailer for a book (a book I think I'd like to read).
I promised myself at the beginning of this year I'd pick back up on my book reading. God knows I read a TON most every day of the year, but lately it's more short-form than long, more utilitarian than adventurous. (Note to self: this would be a good point to mention that Nicholas Carr book. You know, the one about short and longform reading, attention and intellect. The one you keep reading, um, tweets about.)
ANYway, I just finished a book today and feel like making a list. So. Books read in 2010 (so far):
1. Catcher in the Rye. (A re-read, on the occasion of Salinger's passing.)
2. And Then There's This, by Bill Wasik.
3. The Manual of Detection, by Jedediah Berry
4. The Ask, by Sam Lipsyte
5. Citrus County, by John Brandon (Rumpus book club selection!)
Quite a few others are on the not-yet-and-possibly-never-finished list. Such as the new Jonathan Lethem, which I want badly to love but can't really. And Jonah Lehrer's "How We Decide," which I might finish, but also kinda think the first 100 pages are enough, you know?
Next up: whatever comes in the mail from Rumpus, and First Stop in the New World, a history of Mexico City.
Fascinating: blue dots indicate local photogs, red ones are tourists. (via Coudal)
Oh, it's ON.

Not really. Not literally. But the lawn outside the Blake Student Commons featured dozens of canines of every size and breed mingling with handlers and Bay Path students.
There was Velvet the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. And Lilo the Great Dane. And Gus the Newfoundland. As well as Cassie, Caber, Niles, Tucker…the list goes on. They are part of team called Bright Spot Therapy Dogs and their mission is to bring happiness, laughter and love where ever they go. It's also a great stress reliever for students taking those mid-term exams!
The group has over 100 volunteers and visits over 80 sites throughout Western Massachusetts, including schools, colleges, and universities. Each dog goes through training and certification as a team before they are allowed to go on the road. Once they pass, they wear a special jacket and have their own ID badge confirming they are official a Bright Spot Therapy Dog.
What did the Bay Path students say? "I love this…it reminds me of my dog back home." "Can they come again?" But it wasn't their words that said what they felt, it was the hugs they were giving their new-found furry friends. Mission accomplished.

Mark Waghorn studied architecture at Cambridge University and the University of North London. He worked for seven years at DGA Architects becoming Associate in 2003. During this time he was involved in a wide variety of projects, including private and commercial properties and developments, urban design and schools.
While at DGA, Mark was project architect for Christ Church Primary School in Chelsea, which received the Environment Award from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and was showcased at architecture exhibitions and on television programmes as an example of an outstanding modernization of a Victorian school.
From 2006 to 2010 Mark co-directed Waghorn Gwynne Architects. At this practice Mark continued developing his passion for sustainability in architecture, producing groundbreaking designs for carbon-neutral houses, some of which featured in architectural magazines as well as on the BBC.
In 2010 Mark founded Mark Waghorn Architects to further strengthen and apply his design philosophy based on the use of innovative architectural approaches to the design of sustainable buildings. He has a particular interest in designing for self-sufficient lifestyles, whereby the localisation of one's environmental footprint encourages responsible use of available resources.
The overriding aspiration for this research project is to develop a modular system for self-build timber framed construction using locally sourced materials in order to allow the delivery of affordable homes that are low impact in construction and in the lifestyles they accommodate.
As we enter an era of increasing energy costs, economic pressures will require increased localisation and on a domestic level, the reduction of energy demand for space-heating will become an urgent priority. This research shows that small-scale modular timber frame buildings that achieve very high standards of energy efficiency will be able to address many of the problems faced by individuals and communities, whilst allowing them the flexibility to adapt them to their particular context and needs over time. Therefore the development of a system capable of delivering such buildings, either as dwellings or for other purposes, is the key ambition for this project.
As part of the research, Mark will be conducting a study of the Passivhaus mode and will explore options for applying this standard in innovative ways to reduce costs and to allow for low impact lifestyles. One way to reduce costs is to minimise the size of the Passivhaus core, supplementing it with other accommodation that is carefully designed for particular functions, but that does not need the level of investment needed for the core. This idea of zoning for economy and efficiency has informed much of my design work for some years. In addition, if house design can be conceived as products, or assemblies of standardised components, this approach has the potential to reduce the design costs through economies of scale.
The need to increase localisation of one's environmental and resource footprint will require significant changes to attitudes about development control. For historic reasons, there are strong barriers to innovative rural solutions to today's environmental problems, but recent changes to planning policy are creating exciting opportunities to change this.
The Welsh Government has recognised Low Impact Development as due to play a key role in its aspiration for achieving a One Planet nation within a generation. It is hoped that this PhD will help it achieve this ambitious target by providing practical proposals that draw on the considerable expertise of the BRE and Cardiff University in the fields of environmental science and building technology.
