To help keep your Toyota Van Wagon cool, a rotor fan is implemented in combination with the car radiator to expel the generated heat by driving fresh air via the radiator to carry the heat away from the transferring fluid. The fan is helped by an accessory known as a fan shroud that is secured next to the radiator fan to guide the air being blown in order to gain a more centered and efficient flow of fresh air. Your car could evade engine overheating thru a better cooling system as a result of a Toyota Van Wagon fan shroud.
Simply by breaking down resulting from everyday use or errors in installation, the fan shroud can get damaged and end up of no use. Switch the fan shroud in your Toyota Van Wagon when you determine that it's worn-out. A ruined or missing fan shroud means that your Toyota Van Wagon heat dispersal system isn't functioning as adequately as intended, boosting the prospect of overheating. A good expertly-designed replacement fan shroud for your Toyota Van Wagon is available to keep away the issues linked to engine overheating such as devastation to various motor components.
These days, we've in store the very best Toyota Van Wagon fan shroud for your vehicle from famous manufacturers such as Behr, Replacement, and OES Genuine. Featuring the largest range of automotive parts you are able to find anyplace in the Web, Parts Train is your number one source for items that are top caliber and cost-effective.

This is utterly, 100% false.
Denmark's major earning export is knowledge and research. It's frequently called the best place in the world to open a new business.
The standard of living is HIGHER IN DENMARK THAN IT IS IN THE UNITED STATES. You can whine about the tax policy, and everyone in Denmark does, all the time.
And then they pick up the kids from the free playschool and go home to watch something on their flatscreen TV and plan a holiday to Thailand.
The Danish middle class is pretty repellent, but there's no poverty, at all. There are fewer stinking wealthy people. And it comes top in the happiness indices year after year.
Which might just prove that there's more to a successful society than a tiny minority getting stinking rich, and there's more to life than money.
Ai, ai.
You attribute their success to democratic socialism (if I'm wrong, please say so).
I attribute it to economic freedom (Denmark has one of the freest economies in the world--freer and less regulated than the US economy).
Are both ideas mutually exclusive? Or are we both right?
Freer Is Better

Polaroid intros PoGo inkless portable photo printer
updated 11:50 am EDT, Fri June 6, 2008
Polaroid PoGo printer
Polaroid recently announced it will launch its PoGo portable photo printer later on this summer. First seen at CES 2008, the printer, whose name is short for Polaroid-on-the-go according to Polaroid, achieves its compact 4.7- by 2.8- by 0.9-inch size by not requiring any ink cartridges. Instead, it uses Zero Ink technology and ZINK Photo Paper as its medium.
The PoGo interfaces with cell phones via a Bluetooth link to print photos captured by the devices' integrated cameras, and via a FireWire-connected PictBridge interface with digital cameras. It's capable of outputting a full-color, 2- by 3-inch photo in under one minute. The ZINK 'paper' contains colorless cyan, yellow and magenta dye crystals that are activated by the heat emitted by the PoGo, making photos instantly ready. The setup evokes memories of Polaroid's original photos that took a few minutes to appear but didn't require a lengthy developing process.
The PoGo will be available for sale at Best Buy stores throughout the US starting on July 6, and at Target locations on July 20, priced at $149. Ten sheets of ZINK paper retails for nearly $4, with a 30-pack trading for $10.

Thank you for contacting us. We will get back to you shortly.
August 21, 2007 - by jason
Several of Joyeurs are headed to Berlin for RailsConf Europe so we figured it was a perfect excuse to check out the beer making skills of the folks over at Lindenbräu" at the Potsdamer Platz.
We plan on setting up a few chairs at 7pm and will start buying pints immediately and our generosity should last for a couple of hours me thinks.
If you are planning on joining us, it would help to know it in advance so we have enough chairs – simply check the attending button over on Upcoming and we'll make sure there is a pitcher with your name on it.
We might make this a nightly thing and go back on the 18th and 19th too, just talk real sweet to Dave and see how hard you have to twist his arm.
Dave and Jason also plan to hit the City of Lights for a night, and would like to share their goodwill with you fine folks over a couple bottles of wine and crudités variées.
Seating is limited in the room we reserved, so if you wish to play with these two, please let us know by simply checking the attending button over on Upcoming so we'll know if we need to knock down a wall or two.
EDITED: I have just learned that Dean Allen WILL be at the Paris event. Let the hug fest begin.

Wednesday-Bensday! Special Two-Dogs-on-a-Couch Edition
After a big day of helping their dad out in the yard and playing frisbee, our dogs were pooped! So they settled in to the cutest sleeping arrangement ever: Smalls in her preferred spot on the back of the couch, and Ben snuggled up to his favorite parent.
Is that not one of the most adorable things you've ever seen?
How do Kaya, Rufus, Ted, Gus, and Zapp relax after a hard day of playing? Go visit them and find out!
A little silhouetto of a man
How in the world did Queen's Greatest Hits album end up on my Zune?
The Painted Room
I think I've mentioned once or twice that I recently spent a weekend painting, right? This would be the same weekend that Tim cleaned the garage. It was a productive weekend.
Well, this past weekend was productive too. Tim built a firewood hutch in our backyard that both stores firewood and blocks the view of the neighbors' ever-expanding pile-o-trash, a pile which has included everything from old rugs and couches to dishwashers and lumber. While I respect the neighbors' right to do what they will with their garbage — even if it includes making a big pile between their house and our fence and then leaving their dogs outside all day to shred the various items in the pile and scatter the shreds all over their yard — I certainly don't mind not having to look at the pile anymore.
Anyway, where was I? Oh, right, productive weekends. So, the other thing Tim did this weekend was help me hang stuff back on our walls so that I could finally photograph our lovely painted walls and share them with you lovely people. (Lovely!)
In order for you to fully appreciate how beautiful our walls are, I think you should first take a look at how thoroughly un-beautiful they were before. See, our house was a rental for many years before we bought it, and it was never well taken care of. Word on the street is the neighbors used to call it "Hell House." (Hopefully they appreciate our efforts and don't call it that anymore!) I don't know the history of the walls beyond the fact that at one point they were a hideous teal color that we found behind the smoke detector, but I do know that right before we moved in, someone came in and sprayed high-gloss white paint over everything — walls, trim, and most doors. See for yourselves:
When we bought the house, we resolved to eliminate the shiny white walls as soon as time and budget permitted, and in the meantime we did our best to hang pleasing art and posters to help distract from The Shine.
We started with the bathroom, continued with the downstairs "reading room," then tackled the kitchen and dining room, and then painted our bedroom. But the bulk of our house was still un-painted. We thought long and hard about what to do with the main living room area. Because of the layout of the main floor of our house, painting the living room would mean painting the giant wall that spans the living and dining rooms, the little nook around the front door and coat closet, up and down both staircases, and the small hallway at the top of the stairs. Not only was it going to be a big project, but we would have to select our colors carefully since they would be dominating the majority of our house.
We hemmed and hawed over colors, consulted some friends, tested some sample colors, and finally made a decision. 3 gallons of paint, 8 hours, and 2 coats later, this is what we ended up with:
In the foreground you can see the green that was already on our dining room walls. Behind that is the blue we used for an accent wall and the light beige that ended up on the rest of the walls. Also: Ben.
Here's a closer look at the blue and beige. The beige is really subtle — it's almost an off-white — but the difference is incredible. The room feels so much softer without the glare of the high-gloss white coming at you from every direction.
Here are a couple of shots of the big huge wall that connects the living room and dining room. Also: Smalls. We re-arranged the two paintings and the poster a bit after painting, and I'm really pleased with the result.
And, for the sake of full disclosure, here's the Chasing Amy wall and the stairways (complete with puppy gate).
Now that this is done, the only shiny white rooms that remain unpainted are the main basement room, the office upstairs, and the downstairs bathroom/laundry room (which really doesn't count anyway, as we have no plans to paint it that I know of). It feels really good to have nearly the entire house painted. Little by little we are transforming this house from Shiny White Rental into Tim and Audrey's Home, and I am absolutely loving it.
Smalls Sunday: Frisbee Fun
Yesterday was Ben's 4th birthday. Smalls's gift to Ben was to let him fetch the frisbee most of the afternoon. She's very generous like that.
Be sure to check in with Kaya, Rufus, Ben, Ted, Gus, and Zapp!
Green Streaks No More
Hey, remember how a couple of weeks ago I spent an entire weekend painting? And how I promised you pictures? And never gave you any? That was pretty cool, huh?
You know what else is cool? I still don't have pictures of everything I painted. Because I'm awesome like that. (Actually, it's because I'm anal and don't want to show you pictures before we've hung art and stuff back on the walls. And we haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Maybe this weekend!)
But you know what's actually cool, in the non-sarcastic way? I do have one picture for you. I was going to wait and share it with all the rest, but I figured it was about time I gave you something to prove that I did indeed do some painting, so you're getting it now. You're welcome.
Do any of you remember when I accidentally got mildew cleaner on my purple bathroom walls and ended up with
yucky fabulous green streaks? And how I put "re-paint" on the list of ways I was thinking about dealing with it even though we all knew I was just going to ignore it completely? Well, ignore it is just what I did. For 8 whole months.
But a couple of weeks ago, when we were getting ready for the Weekend-o-Painting, I figured if I was going to be painting anyway, I might as well re-paint the bathroom. It's a really small room, so I knew it wouldn't be a big deal to add its 4 little walls to the agenda. Plus, I've never really been 100% happy with the purple paint we slapped up there shortly after moving in for the sake of having at least one room in our house that was not covered in high-gloss white paint. Plus, we are trying to get the house looking all pretty so that people don't laugh at our purple-with-green-streaks walls when they come over for a party we're throwing in honor of a certain someone who happens to be graduating next month.
So! We painted the bathroom! And I thanked the gods of paint that it only needed one coat! And it looks so! much! better!
Check out the before:
And after:
A huge improvement, wouldn't you agree?
Besides the lack of streaks, the blue is way brighter and more fun than the purple. And it looks totally cute with our green towels and shower curtain. It feels more like a bathroom is supposed to feel, if that makes any sense to anyone besides me.
So now you have one paint picture to tide you over until I can show you the rest. I hope you're happy.
Happy weekend, everybody!

What's Next for the US Dollar?
US dollar is lower today as a touch of risk appetite returns to the markets. The prospect of a fiscal cliff deal is helping to support high beta currencies, and there are also concerns about more easing for the US dollar in the first quarter of 2013.
Right now, there is a bit of optimism floating around regarding a resolution to the fiscal cliff issues. With President Barack Obama heading back from his Christmas holidays early, there are hopes that a solution can be found before the end of the year. As a result, risk appetite is making an appearance, and that is sending the US dollar lower on the Forex market. Concerns about what's next for the US dollar are rather high, with risks coming in quarter one of 2013.
Not only is risk appetite weighing on US dollar performance a little bit, but the prospect of more easing for the greenback isn't helping much. The US dollar index is lower today as Forex traders contemplate the future, and that future likely means more stimulus from the Federal Reserve in the coming months.
At 14:16 GMT the US dollar index is down to 79.628 from the open at 79.687. EUR/USD is up to 1.3208 from the open at 1.3181. GBP/USD is up to 1.6142 from the open at 1.6126. USD/JPY is up to 85.3450 from the open at 84.7500.

Services giant CSC, which had a spectacular dispute with the government over its work on the NHS National Programme for IT (NPfIT), is on course to implement its first patient records system after a national agreement was reached earlier this month.
Tameside Hospital in east Manchester will be the first in England to implement CSC's patient records system, consolidating all the various pieces of clinical information held about a patient on to CSC's Lorenzo Electronic Patient Record system.
Lorenzo was a the centre of criticisms over CSC's work on the NPfIT, which was delivered well behind schedule and over budget – like most of the NPfIT.
However, a settlement between the Department of Health and CSC paved the way for NHS health trusts to choose whether to implement Lorenzo or to seek out cheaper or more functional alternatives.
The central element of the Tameside project involves the deployment of Lorenzo as a replacement for the Trust's current patient administration system, subject to the approval of a full business case.
"This is really good news for the staff and patients of Tameside Hospital," said Tony Mellor, the Trust's chief information officer. "Lorenzo will be the centrepiece of the Trust's new information strategy, 'Digital by Design', which seeks to connect patient information systems across our local health community and help reduce reliance on the paper record."
He added: "We have been working closely with CSC for several months now, developing a detailed plan which will enable the hospital to unlock investment to support the modernisation of IT systems. This will undoubtedly allow us to increase efficiency and help deliver improvements in patient care."
Tameside Hospital chief executive said that the Trust will be looking to share its experience with other organisations in the NHS.

Thomas Cook Holidays Hilton Hotel Deals
Virgin Holiday Deals Jurys Inn Hotels
Spa Breaks Best Western Hotels
All Rights Reserved BestBookDirect™
Furnished Flats / Houses to rent Ulverston
In the good old days when you wanted to stay in a hotel or book your annual holiday you would often do so by contacting the hotel, or asking for a holiday brochure from your preferred holiday company directly. Then about ten years ago price comparison and large internet hotel and holiday sites emerged. Intense competiton between these sites followed and the small operators were swallowed up by large multi-million pound businesses which run the remaining price comparison and Holiday booking online sites today. Along the journey Hotel chains have been particulary squeezed having to pay out large commissions to online agents in order to have their rooms filled, or risk falling by the wayside. Of course non of this is unusual in todays internet driven tourism economy but even the OFT (Office of Fair Trade) has recently become concerned and launched an investigation into alleged price fixing between these sites.
So where does Best Book Direct fit in?....well if you know what brand of hotel you like to stay in, or which holiday company you like to use to get away, but worry about getting the very best deal, then we can help. Many Hotel chains and Holiday companies offer the very best rates to customers who book directly with them cutting out expensive middlemen. Also special offers and promotions are often not listed by price comparison sites because they deal with just too many operators to be able to handle such details. At BestBookDirect.com we have been able to secure the very best prices and special offers with many of the top hotel and holiday companies. We provide a simple link through to the offer and in return we receive a very small commission direct from the Hotel / Holiday company typically no more than 3% compared to around 20% that other operators charge. We don't need to be greedy because our overheads are low, you deal direct with the company you are buying from so we have no additional costs such as handling payments etc. We won't try to sell you any add on products like insurance or car hire either.
We keep it simple... You just get the very best price direct from the company you stay with, be it one night in Brighton or two weeks in Barbados you get the very best deal by booking direct. So confident are we in our deals that we challenge you to put our prices and value to the test by checking us against LateRooms.com or Hotels Combined just click here.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky forward Terrence Jones is playing
good basketball heading into Wildcats' rematch with Indiana.
The sophomore hit a bit of slump after the subpar performance
against the Hoosiers in December.
Jones was heavily criticized for his lackluster play after
finishing with four points, one rebound and six turnovers in the
Wildcats' 73-72 loss on Dec. 10.
He dislocated his left pinky finger in Kentucky's next game and
was limited most of the rest of the month as his freshmen teammates
carried Kentucky back to No. 1.
But Jones is healthy and playing well again.
He's averaging 14.4 points and 10.4 rebounds over his last five
games and looks like the playmaker he would be this season when he

Ah, Friday night is here! Saturday's the night to head out, but Friday I reserve to just hanging out, and part of that is a chance to enjoy some good bourbon at my basement bar.
I'm starting out with an Old Fitz BIB, and will next try some WT 101 Old No. 8. The Red Mitchell Trio is warming up the room, too.
I was thinking about all the talk of "hunting for S-W bourbon" and decided I needed some vintage S-W. I'm enjoying 3 oz's of Old Fitz Prime from 1971. I started with a Louisville Weller Cent and I'm thinking I might finish with a Pappy 23 (third bottling).

IIlicit cash outflows cost Africa $1.8 trillion in 38 years
A new study released yesterday in Washington DC, United States of America (USA) by the Global Financial Integrity (GFI) indicates that Africa lost over $1.8 trillion in illicit financial outflows from 1970 through 2008
The study placed Nigeria at the op of the ladder in illicit outflows among Sub-Saharan African countries. Titled "Illicit Financial Flows from Africa: Hidden Resource for Development", the new study however focused more on illicit financial outflows from just one source: trade mispricing. It however did not take a look into outflows from mispricing of services and smuggling.
According to the study, the "massive flow of illicit money out of Africa is facilitated by a global shadow financial system comprising tax havens, secrecy jurisdictions, disguised corporations, anonymous trust accounts, fake foundations, trade mispricing, and money laundering techniques."
It stated that "the impact of this structure and the funds it shifts out of Africa is staggering. It drains hard currency reserves, heightens inflation, reduces tax collection, cancels investment, and undermines free trade. It has its greatest impact on those at the bottom of income scales in their countries, removing resources that could otherwise be used for poverty alleviation and economic growth."
The new report which is expected to be tabled at the third Annual Conference of African finance ministers in Malawi, notes that "the amount of money that has been drained out of Africa-hundreds of billions decade after decade-is far in excess of the official development assistance going into African countries."
On the report, GFI director Raymond Baker said "this devastating outflow of much-needed capital is essential to achieving economic development and poverty alleviation goals in these countries."
Examining data for a 38-year range from 1970 to 2008, key report findings include: that total illicit financial outflows from Africa, conservatively estimated, were approximately $854 billion; total illicit outflows from Africa may be as high as $1.8 trillion; sub-Saharan African countries experienced the bulk of illicit financial outflows with the West and Central African region posting the largest outflow numbers.
It said the top five countries with the highest outflow measured were: Nigeria ($89.5 billion) Egypt ($70.5 billion), Algeria ($25.7 billion), Morocco ($25 billion), and South Africa ($24.9 billion) adding that illicit financial outflows from Africa grew at an average rate of 11.9 percent per year.
Mr. Baker said "this report breaks new ground in the fight to end global poverty with analyses and measurements of illicit financial outflows never before undertaken, adding that "as long as these countries are losing massive amounts of money to illicit financial outflows, economic development and prosperity will remain elusive."
He however stressed need for transparency in curtailing the trend saying that "the drivers of illicit financial outflows vary from country to country but overall transparency in the global financial system would curtail all forms of outflows by making it harder for money to disappear once it exits the country."
"Addressing this problem requires concerted effort by both African nations and by western countries. The outflow from Africa and the absorption into western economies deserve equal attention. Through greater transparency in the global financial system illicit outflows can be substantially curtailed, thereby enhancing growth in developing countries and at the same time stabilising the economies of richer countries," he said.
Baker also promised to table the issue of illicit financial outflows before the G20 at its next meeting in Canada.
"When the G20 meets in Canada this June, the problem of illicit financial flows must be at the top of the agenda," he said.
A concluding remark on the study stated: "While the overwhelming bulk of this loss in capital through illicit channels over the period 1970-2008 was from Sub-Saharan African countries, there are significant disparities in the regional pattern of illicit flows. The West and Central Africa region, which includes Nigeria, is by far the dominant driver of illicit flows from the Sub-Saharan region.
Nigeria's influence is also behind illicit flows from the group of "fuel exporters". However, the lack of data related to countries in other groups actually overstates the proportion of West and Central Africa in illicit outflows. Hence, the long-term evolution of illicit flows from the different regions of Africa need to be interpreted with caution in light of these data gaps.
"Sub-Saharan Africa registered the highest growth rates in over 30 years during the period 2000-2008 underpinned by high commodity prices, improved macroeconomic policies, and structural reforms in a number of countries. The acceleration in growth was mainly driven by the oil-producing countries with capacity increases in Angola and the Republic of Congo and new production in Mauritania.
However, during the last nine years of the study 2000-2008, when Sub-Saharan Africa enjoyed its strongest period of sustained economic growth, the pace of illicit flows from the region also accelerated relative to previous decades. Some of the acceleration in illicit outflows was undoubtedly driven by oil price increases and increased opportunities to misinvoice trade that typically accompany increasing trading volumes.
The rates of outflow in illicit capital for West and Central Africa (20.4 per cent) as well as Fuel-exporters (21.8 per cent) over the entire period 1970-2008 reflect substantial outflows from Nigeria and Sudan."

Central Garden & Pet Co. said Thursday that its board of directors has approved a new $100 million share repurchase program.
The supplier of lawn, garden and pet products said it may buy back shares of its common stock on the open market at times and prices that management considers appropriate. Repurchasing may take place through brokers and dealers or in privately negotiated transactions.
Shares rose 5 cents to close at $9.26. At current prices the buyback program would encompass 10.8 million shares of the company's total 54.8 million shares outstanding. Stock buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding, boosting earnings per share and expanding the percentage size of shareholders' stakes.
Last month the company reported a slight rise in second-quarter earnings to $31.8 million, or 54 cents per share, as sales climbed 10 percent to $485.7 million.

This bat is THE BEST EVER
Pros: good bat light through the zone. hit my first 300 ft homer this weekend
Cons: ?
Pros: very easy swing hit 10 300ft homeruns awsome bat best bat i have ever had!!!!!
Cons: bat gets dirty easy but it is still beast

Got a question about the Easton XL2 Senior League Baseball Bat: SL11X28 ? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question OR
How will a 30" 22 oz. XL2 feel compared to an Omaha 30" 25 oz.? I know the XL2 is more end loaded, so it feels heavier. But how much heavier? I moved up to 30" 25 oz. for middle school ball, but think we may have moved too fast from 30" 22 oz. COMbat.
When you think of a bat that is end loaded the barrel will have .50-1.0 oz. of weight distributed to the barrel. That being said, the -5 Omaha would feel heavier because it is actually heavier in weight. The XL2 would have a lighter feel in swing weight even though it is end loaded because it is 3 oz. lighter.
Is the 30/22 bat size the only one you have? Son needs 31/23 or 32/24
We only show the sizes we have in stock. If you do not see a size listed on the website, that means it is out of stock. The Easton XL2: SL11X28 is a discontinued model and we will not be getting any more sizes in stock.

PHILADELPHIA ŌĆö A team of University of Pennsylvania physicists has shown how to disrupt the ŌĆ£coffee ring effectŌĆØ ŌĆö the ring-shaped stain of particles left over after coffee drops evaporate ŌĆö by changing the particles' shape. The discovery provides new tools for engineers to deposit uniform coatings.
The research was conducted by professor Arjun Yodh, director of the Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter; doctoral candidates Peter Yunker and Matthew Lohr; and postdoctoral fellow Tim Still, all of the department of Physics and Astronomy in PennŌĆÖs School of Arts and Sciences.
Their research will be published in the journal Nature on August 18.
ŌĆ£The coffee ring effect is very common in everyday experience,ŌĆØ Yunker said. ŌĆ£To avoid it, scientists have gone to great lengths designing paints and inks that produce an even coating upon evaporation. We found that the effect can be eliminated simply by changing the shape of the particle.ŌĆØ
The edges of a water drop sitting on a table or a piece of paper, for example, are often ŌĆ£pinnedŌĆØ to the surface. This means that when the water evaporates, the drop canŌĆÖt shrink in circumference but instead flattens out. That flattening motion pushes water and anything suspended in it, such as coffee particles, to its edges. By the time the drop fully evaporates, most of the particles have reached the edge and are deposited on the surface, making a dark ring.
University of Chicago physicists Sidney Nagel, Thomas Witten and their colleagues wrote an influential paper about this process in 1997, which focused mainly on suspended spherical particles, but it was not until the Yodh teamŌĆÖs recent experiments that the surprising role played by suspended particle shape was discovered.
YodhŌĆÖs team used uniformly sized plastic particles in their experiments. These particles were initially spherical but could be stretched into varying degrees of eccentricity, to ensure the experiments only tested the effect of the particleŌĆÖs shape on the drying pattern.
The researchers were surprised at how big an effect particle shape had on the drying phenomenon.
ŌĆ£Different particle geometries change the nature of the membrane at the air-water interface,ŌĆØ Yodh said. ŌĆ£And that has big consequences.ŌĆØ
Spherical particles easily detach from the interface, and they flow past one another easily because the spheres do not substantially deform the air-water interface. Ellipsoid particles, however, cause substantial undulation of the air-water interface that in turn induces very strong attractions between the ellipsoids. Thus the ellipsoids tend to get stuck on the surface, and, while the stuck particles can continue to flow towards the dropŌĆÖs edges during evaporation, they increasingly block each other, creating a traffic jam of particles that eventually covers the dropŌĆÖs surface.
ŌĆ£Once you stretch the spherical particles by about 20 percent,ŌĆØ Yunker said, ŌĆ£the particles deposit uniformly.ŌĆØ
After experimenting with suspended particle shape, the researchers added a surfactant, essentially soap, into the drops to show that interactions on the dropŌĆÖs surface were responsible for the effect. With the surfactant lowering the dropŌĆÖs surface tension, ellipsoid particles did not get stuck at the interface and flowed freely to the edge.
They also tested drops that had mixtures of both spherical and oblong particles. When the spheres were much smaller than the ellipsoids, the spheres flowed to the edge, but, at a certain size, they became similarly trapped.
ŌĆ£We were thinking it would be useful if you could just sprinkle in a few of these ellipsoid particles to remove the coffee ring effect,ŌĆØ Yodh said, ŌĆ£and we found that sometimes this idea works and sometimes it doesnŌĆÖt.ŌĆØ
Understanding the impact of particle shape on drop drying could have applications in printing and painting. The principles could also be relevant in biological and medical contexts.
ŌĆ£In many cases, the way we make coatings involves hazardous chemicals,ŌĆØ Yunker said. ŌĆ£If you need something thatŌĆÖs bio-compatible, itŌĆÖs more difficult.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£There are a lot of situations where you want uniform coatings,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£This work will stimulate people to think about new ways of doing it.ŌĆØ
This research was supported by the National Science Foundation, including its Materials Research Science and Engineering Center; NASA; and the CNRS-Rhodia-UPenn Complex Assemblies of Soft Matter collaboration.

Stories about Philip K. Dick's daughter taking aim at Google's deep-pockets for naming the "Google Phone" Nexus One have been all over tech blogs during the last week or so. Now that it seems the phone is truly about to come to market, maybe they'll have to take her seriously. This summary story in the New York Times captures the issues fairly well:
… Read the rest
Motorola tugged at the hearts of science-fiction fans everywhere when it announced that its first smartphone using Google's Android software would be called Droid, the name given to the lovable robots in "Star Wars."
Google appears to be trying the same tactic with its own soon-to-be-released Android phone. The device is called Nexus One in at least two government filings.
As many bloggers have noted, the name Nexus One seems to be a reference to the cyborgs in the dystopian movie "Blade Runner," which in turn was based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by the late Philip K.

Robert Edward "Bob" Casale, Jr. (born Robert Edward Pizzute, Jr., July 14, 1952 – February 17, 2014) or Bob 2 was an American musician and sound engineer, best known as a guitarist and keyboardist in the new wave band Devo. He was the brother of Gerald Casale.
Casale was originally trained as a medical radiation technologist, but was recruited by his brother Gerald Casale to join his band. After a few line-up changes, Bob Casale would be part of the most popular five-piece incarnation, which included the Casale brothers: Gerry and Bob ("Bob 2"), and the Mothersbaugh brothers: Mark and Bob ("Bob 1"), as well as drummer Alan Myers.
In Devo concerts, Bob Casale played lead/rhythm guitar and keyboards while working with MIDI sampling. He also sang backup vocals, both on albums and at live shows.
Starting in 1984, Bob was the sound engineer for all of Devo's albums, including Shout, Total Devo, Smooth Noodle Maps and Something for Everybody.
Life after Devo[edit]
As Devo's mainstream popularity waned during the mid-1980s and its various members began working on side projects. Casale transitioned to music engineering and production. In the late summer of 1986, he engineered the first solo album for Police guitarist, Andy Summers, recorded at Devo Studios in California. XYZ, featuring songs written and sung by Summers, was then released in 1987. Bob later became a part of the musical production group Mutato Muzika with other members of Devo.[1]
As music engineering and production opportunities expanded for Bob Casale and bandmate Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob began working for television and movies, including Four Rooms, Happy Gilmore, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums and Rugrats Go Wild.
Casale died of heart failure in Los Angeles on February 17, 2014.[2][3][4] He is survived by his brother Gerald, wife Lisa and two children, Alex and Samantha.[5]

I was given this guy a few weeks ago, I intended to use him as a trail horse, he is just not working out for that and I'd like to find him a more appropriate home where he will be used for something that doesn't stress him out. He is a thoroughbred, heavier boned like a warmblood. Tattooed and did race a couple years a loooong time ago, I don't have his papers. He is 22, but doesn't look or act it. He is at a nice weight, needs muscle along his topline from not being worked much. He sticks just a little over 16.2. He was previously a lesson horse and most recently used as a companion and for guests to ride. He'd be fine for a beginner or kid to ride around the arena. He was "trail" ridden, but was that was only around the horse community roads and park paths. He is not taking to trail riding on rough trails in the woods, he is nervous and starts to prance and pull at the reins. I'd rather just find him another home rather than stress the old man out and try to retrain a 22 year old horse. I just don't see him trail riding on the mountain trail rides we go camping at. He'd be more suitable for someone that wants to ride in the arena and maybe hack around the farm fields. He does have a fused ankle, so can't jump. He does not stall well, needs 24/7 turnout. He is great with other horses in turnout. Up to date on shots, deworming and dental. Cogins did expire this last month, I will not be updating it, so that is up to you. I just had his feet done a week and a half ago, I have him shod on all 4 with pads on front as I intended on riding him on rocky trails. I was told he needs to keep fronts on with pads, he has really flat feet so abcesses easily. Trailers quietly, cross ties, clips, bathes, stands quiet for farrier. Does need some work on his ground manners and on standing to mount.
He is free to a good home only. Old owner loved this horse and didn't want him at an auction. Serious ADULT inquiries only, if you are a younger kid interested you can pm me for my number and have a parent call me. Please pm me and tell me a bit about what your plans are for him. I can e-mail photos.

In Search of Ethnic Dimension - THE KOYAS (Part-1)
- Uploaded by Sathya on Aug 1, 2011
- Views: 831
(Note: The period of assignment of copyright of this film is expired. It is now a public property.)
This award-winning ethnographic film (in two parts) made by Sathya Mohan deals with the nature-man interaction and the associated belief system. It examines the features of the environment and ecology in relation to the Koyas economic system - the interaction of productive forces and the natural resources. The economy, the social organization, the religion and the mythology of the Koyas are closely inter-related, inter-dependent and interacting. Each aspect of the nature-man interaction and the belief system attached to it, viewed as a whole - as a complex - gives the basic picture of the Koya culture. The basis of enormous diversity in the Indian cultural matrix lies in its varied ecological conditions. The interplay of nature and culture is implicit in the little traditions of the sub-continent. The Koya culture is unique in adapting itself to its natural setting.

"CommBadge" - a real-life wearable, wireless communicator
That said, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want one. Call me easily swayed by geekery, but I'm tempted to pre-order. Any time I get to write about the current state of mobile technology getting closer to Trek-tech, I'm pretty pleased. And I've wanted a combadge since I was like ... ten.
Anyway, enjoy!

Priority places: Northern Annamites
Significant as primate habitat
Some landscapes were identified as potentially globally significant, but they could not be classified due to a lack of data and information. These are grouped under Survey Areas.
|Northern Annamite
Priority Landscape NA4 | Ranking: CRITICAL
This Priority Landscape comprises all the main landscape elements that best represent the northern sub-division of the Greater Annamites. This area comprises some of the most extensive remaining areas of evergreen forest in the Forests of the Lower Mekong Ecoregion Complex. The scale and integrity of the forested landscapes make this the optimum area in the Greater Annamites to support populations of the large mammal endemics such as Saola and Muntjacs.
|Northern Indochina Limestone
Priority Landscape NA1 | Ranking: ACUTE
Situated in the most northerly part of the Greater Annamites, this landscape is not heavily represented in the ecoregion/sub-region, but is found in fragmented areas throughout the Northern Highlands and in southern China. The area is important for several limestone specific taxa, and is vital for the conservation of primate species–particularly the Delacour's Langur, which is only known from this landscape.
|Central Indochina Limestone
Priority Landscape NA6 | Ranking: CRITICAL
This area plays host to numerous limestone specific taxa, including a number of Annamite endemics–more so than the Northern Indochina Limestone (NA1), making the Central Indochina Limestone the most extensive limestone area and holding the most distinctive limestone community in the Greater Annamites. This area is critical for the conservation of primate species, and limestone specialist species such as the sooty babbler.
|Upper Chu River Watershed
Priority Landscape NA2 | ranking: HIGH
This Priority Landscape is made up of two distinct elements, which could be managed as a single unit. The area surrounding the proposed Nature Reserves of Pu Hoat and Xuan Lien is the only surveyed part of the Transition Zone and early indications are that it is of botanical importance. Faunal surveys have been far from complete but the indications at present are that some typical Annamite species are missing. However, in Pu Huong Nature Reserve there is evidence to suggest that this area may once have supported Saola (and may still) and therefore is likely to be of conservation importance. The significance of this area, therefore, rests on its representation of transitional habitats between the Annamites and the Northern Highlands.
|Ben En Lowlands
Priority Landscape NA3 | ranking: HIGH
Surrounding Ben En National Park is an area of coastal lowland evergreen forest. The importance of this lowland coastal forest in comparison to the lowland forest at the base of the eastern Annamite flanks is yet to be fully understood. These forests support at least two butterfly species currently unrecorded elsewhere. Unfortunately, these forests are also highly degraded, but they retain conservation importance as the last remaining substantial block of this habitat.
|Ke Go and Khe Net Lowlands
Priority Landscape NA5 | ranking: CRITICAL
Ke Go is one of the last substantial areas of lowland forest on the immediate eastern side of the Greater Annamites. The area is of outstanding significance for Lophura pheasants, and may be the only location where viable populations persist. Due to its accessibility, the area has undergone substantial degradation and is, therefore, of particular short-term conservation priority.

Children are often upset when adults laugh at their cute demeanor, unable to get what's so funny. You may feel like a child in some ways now, as the sun and Pluto align to bring challenges that are difficult to understand. With maturity comes the ability to look at oneself with objectivity, and hopefully with a sense of compassion and humor.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll finally have the chance to pursue an interest you've wanted to know more about for a long time now. You'll enjoy getting lost in a wealth of new information and experience.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll free your mind from material concerns and embrace a higher mindset. You'll find this easy to do, especially when you're in a relaxed environment surrounded by beauty.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You can like and respect yourself even when you wish you would have acted differently or projected a different side of yourself. Your compassionate attitude will help you grow into the person you want to be.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You feel a sense of community around you. Because you are so multifaceted, you can connect with people on many different subjects. You'll have a knack for saying the thing that breaks the conversation wide open.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your creative energy will burn bright. Remember that this is not just about being able to paint or write a story. Creativity is what helps you solve a problem or make a relationship strong and special.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's not OK to quit when the going gets tough. On the other hand, it's silly to fight the currents of life by swimming upstream. Only you know when it's right to change direction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The way you see a situation may be causing you stress. Ask a trusted friend to give you another perspective on the matter. You'll open your mind to a liberating viewpoint.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Studies prove that regular exercise bolsters your reserves of self-control. Even goals that are not fitness related will be more easily accomplished because of today's higher activity level.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's a problem that keeps you from having what you dearly want. Truly, no one is to blame for this. You'll make headway once you decide that you're the one who will change the dynamic.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No time to stop and assess where you are. Keep going until you get a sense of pride and accomplishment. For you, this will come only at the very end of a project.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be the astute one in your group, and they really need you to point out the little signs of improvement you see. You'll note the incremental progress and inspire the others to continue forward.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 28). You promote harmony and cooperation wherever you go. People work together under your guidance. The actions you take in January have unusual and unexpected results, making it a memorable time. February brings freedom, and you'll adventure on through the spring. May features a meaningful commitment. Libra and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 24, 30 and 14.
LIBRA POWER RESOLUTION FOR 2012: Consider choosing just one this year. You'll find this one easy to keep, and its benefits will be far-reaching:
Find daily inspiration. As the sign of the artist (and any task can be an art form, including homemaking, managing an office or closing a sale), you need inspiration to ignite your talents and drive you forward. When you're inspired, life isn't such hard work. You get down to business and do what you need to do to make your life happen the way you want it to happen. Unfortunately, life doesn't always put inspiration in your direct path. And you can't expect one source of inspiration to last you day after day. Better to feed your desire little by little every single day than to count on one event or person to fuel you on a regular basis.
LUCKIEST DAYS OF THE YEAR: January 11, 12, 13; February 5, 14, 15; March 13, 18, 31; April 19, 26, 27; May 1, 2, 3; June 7, 8, 9; July 4, 20, 21; August 9, 10, 18; September 2, 16, 17; October 3, 4, 5; November 21, 22, 23; December 5, 16, 29.

What Benefits Will A Second Mortgage Loan Give Over Your Current Mortgage?
sapan | Uncategorized | November 6th, 2010 Comments Off
Refinance home mortgage loan can give a way out for homeowners who are struggling with their finances. People who are facing foreclosure and possible auction should consider mortgage refinance as a possible solution to their problem. If you have been missing your mortgage payments and do not know what to do, find out how much you will save by refinancing your home while contributing to the solution to your crisis. USLOANZ offers Low rate cash out mortgage refinance with affordable repayment plans with terms that offer you the time you need to repay without pressure.
To know more about low rate mortgage refinance click here
If you decide to refinance with a Second mortgage loan, you can change or replace your present mortgage with a more favorable terms and interest rates. This will help you manage your monthly budget and payments without much hassle. Your built up home equity provides the collateral, and the monthly payment could be less than your current payments. You could pay off the previous balance, fix affordable monthly payments according to your current income and the extra cash could be used for other means such as paying off your credit cards.
You could probably save a huge amount at the end of your loan term by refinancing your mortgage. In order to realize your profits consider these figures: even if you manage to lower interest rates by 1%, for an amount of half a million, you save USD 5,000 a year on interest alone. This will accumulate to USD 100,000 for duration of 20 years or 200,000 for 40 years since mortgage terms have been extended. You can easily see that it is indeed to your advantage to take a Mortgage refinance loan when the need arises. For those who are still wondering why to refinance, there are a number of reasons. These could be saving more money while meting out lower monthly payments to your lender or simply wanting to extend the term of mortgage loan.
But maybe your earnings have increased and you think you can cope with higher payments. Refinancing to a shorter term you can end up actually saving a huge amount while becoming debt free sooner! Even those with bad credit scores should desist from worrying because surprisingly there are your Home refinance with bad credit lenders to help you fight foreclosure. Or you can convert your ARM into a FRM mortgage then you can lock in at low interest rate paying a stable payment instead of living with no idea what next year the payment would be and whether you can afford it.
One word of caution at the end is to ensure that the new mortgage loan rates are lower than your present interest rates. The 2% rule will definitely help you make a safe decision. You can safely refinance your home mortgage if the new interest rate offered is at least 2% lower than your current interest rate.

Emergency Rental Assistance Available For Seniors
Lieutenant Governor Glenn McConnell announced that applications for the Emergency Rental Assistance program, which is administered through the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging (LGOA), are now available.
The Emergency Rental Assistance program is funded through the South Carolina Housing & Finance Development Authority and provides assistance to low-income seniors age 60 and older. The program cannot provide long-term housing assistance, but it can help seniors get through a "rough time" by providing funding for rent that will be sent directly to the property owner or landlord.
"I am excited to be able to announce the Emergency Rental Assistance program," Lieutenant Governor McConnell said. "It is encouraging that we can provide a helping hand to seniors struggling with emergencies."
To be eligible for Emergency Rental Assistance, an applicant must:
-Be 60 years of age or older
-Rent or lease his/her residence in the state of South Carolina
-Have a gross household income at or below 150% of the current HHS Poverty Guidelines
-Be financially able to meet normal rental obligations after the emergency situation has passed
The need for assistance must be due to an emergency situation that is unexpected or temporary and can be resolved. This means that routinely not having enough money to pay regular bills is not an emergency and will not be considered unless there is a pending, expected change, such as Social Security/SSI payments starting or increasing, moving to a less expensive home, an adult child or roommate moving in to help with finances, or an increase in income.
The application for ERA is a simple two-page form that must be accompanied by a copy of a photo ID or Driver's License and proof of income. Also included in the application package is a W-9 (Taxpayer ID) form and Landlord Verification form that must be completed by the landlord or property manager. Detailed instructions and a checklist are provided with the application package.
Applications are available on the LGOA website, www.aging.sc.gov, and may be mailed or faxed directly to the LGOA, though it is recommended that applicants work with and submit applications through their regional Information, Referral and Assistance specialist at their local Aging and Disability Resource Center. These specialists will ensure that applications are completed and submitted properly, and they may also be able to identify additional resources or programs that are available locally. If you need help locating the center nearest to you, call the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging at (800) 868-9095.
For additional information on the Emergency Rental Assistance program, please contact Pamela Grant in the Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging at (803) 734-9893 or toll-free at (800) 868-9095 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

According to Brian Burke, who runs the Web site advancednflstats.com, says the Giants and game MVP Eli Manning had just a 2 percent chance of doing what they did last season winning the Super Bowl. Burkes stats as of yesterday predict Pittsburgh is the favorite to win it all this season with a 26 percent chance. The Giants probability of winning a second consecutive Super Bowl is 13 percent. / LM Otero/Associated Press file photo
I am not a math guy. Never have been. I like letters and words, not numbers and ... well, numbers. I've never found statistics particularly compelling.
But I do like odds. I do like the notion of probability, the idea that certain things happen more often than others and there might be a way to predict - just for fun, of course, never for money - an outcome based on what happened in the past.
The Giants play the Carolina Panthers tomorrow night in what is being billed as a "big game," despite the fact both teams have already clinched a spot in the playoffs. The main source of drama surrounding this matchup is that the winner gets the No. 1 seed in the NFC, assuring itself of home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.
This, however, begs an obvious question: Is home-field advantage really that much of an advantage at all?
Giants fans might not think so. After all, the Giants were the No. 5 seed in the playoffs last season, won three straight road games to reach the Super Bowl, and then knocked off a team many believe to be one of the greatest teams in NFL history to win the championship.
It was a great story for the Giants, a great accomplishment. It was also - apparently - an incredible statistical anomaly. When I asked Brian Burke, who runs the Web site advancedNFLstats.com, what the likelihood of a similar run actually happening again was, he said, "Astronomical." Then he explained why.
Home teams win NFL games approximately 57 percent of the time, according to Burke. In the playoffs, when the two teams are ostensibly closer to each other in skill level (i.e. two good teams facing each other as opposed to one good and one awful team), the home-field edge is slightly more pronounced, or about a 60-40 proposition. Basically, the more even the matchup, the more important home field is to the ultimate result.
Given that, the Giants had about a 40 percent chance of winning their first three playoff games last season as the road team each time. Then in the Super Bowl, they faced a juggernaut Patriots team that, according to the efficiency ratings Burke uses to judge teams, was a 75 percent neutral-site favorite - meaning the Giants had about a 25 percent chance of winning. Multiply 40 percent by 40 percent by 40 percent (for the first three games), then multiply that by 25 percent in the Super Bowl, and suddenly you see that, going by these numbers, the Giants had just under a 2 percent chance of doing what they did - which sounds about right, since the Giants were just the second team ever to win three road games on their way to a Super Bowl title, and had to pull a monumental upset to finish it off.
So, I asked Burke, how much is a win tomorrow night worth to the Giants? Burke thought for a second, then said, "Think of it this way: Let's say, for the sake of discussion, that the Giants and Panthers are equally matched teams. That if they played a neutral-site game, it would be a coin flip, a 50-50 shot. If the Giants win and get home-field advantage, they'd have a bye and then two home games they'd have to win to reach the Super Bowl. So they'd have a .6 (or 60 percent) chance of winning the first game, then a .6 chance of winning the second. They'd have a 36 percent chance of making the Super Bowl."
After checking to make sure I was still with him, Burke continued, "So, if they lose (tomorrow) night and then play the Panthers in the NFC championship game on the road, they'd have a bye, one home game and one road game. Or a .6 game times a .4 game. They'd have a 24 percent chance of going to the Super Bowl. That's 12 percent less. That's pretty significant."
In other words, by Burke's math, the Giants are about a third more likely to make the Super Bowl if they win tomorrow than if they lose. No wonder Tom Coughlin said yesterday that, "No question, it is a huge advantage to be in that position. The most fortuitous and direct course toward your goal is (with home-field advantage)."
A year ago, the Giants didn't need it. They did it the hard way, the hardest way possible. This year could be different. This year could be a whole lot easier, and a win tomorrow night would make it so. This is a big game. Even the biggest math-hater in the world can see that.

Botetourt County Sheriff Speeding
January 8th, 2011 - Source: Botetourt, VA
While on my way home one night I was going through a 55 MPH zone when a Botetourt County Sheriff decided to take advantage of his badge and break the law he is sworn to enforce. As you can see in the video I am doing Approxamately 55 MPH and the officer flies past me. I decided to speed up but careful to keep my distance to try to prove a point and capture it on video while in the process. At about the 1:35 mark in the video you will see speed limit signs on both sides of the road. This is the point where we entered a 45 MPH zone. As you can see however, we are still doing a speed of about 60 MPH. Clearly this officer is exceeding the speed limit. While he was stopped at the red light I quickly snapped a shot of his license plates (Which has been blurred for legal reasons here) so that I could report him to his local department. That picture is located right below the video.
Now I do understand that some may argue that this officer could have been responding to some kind of emergency but I have two reasons to believe that was not the case here. (1) Please read the VA code which is quoted below and (2) He stops at a red light and waits for it to turn green before proceeding through it,
§ 46.2-920. Certain vehicles exempt from regulations in certain situations; exceptions and additional requirements.
A. The driver of any emergency vehicle, when such vehicle is being used in the performance of public services, and when such vehicle is operated under emergency conditions, may, without subjecting himself to criminal prosecution:
B. The exemptions granted to emergency vehicles by subsection A of this section shall apply only when the operator of such vehicle displays a flashing, blinking, or alternating emergency light or lights as provided in §§ 46.2-1022 and 46.2-1023 and sounds a siren, exhaust whistle, or air horn designed to give automatically intermittent signals, as may be reasonably necessary, and, only when there is in force and effect for such vehicle either (i) standard motor vehicle liability insurance covering injury or death to any person in the sum of at least $100,000 because of bodily injury to or death of one person in any one accident and, subject to the limit for one person, to a limit of $300,000 because of bodily injury to or death of two or more persons in any one accident, and to a limit of $20,000 because of injury to or destruction of property of others in any one accident or (ii) a certificate of self-insurance issued pursuant to § 46.2-368. Such exemptions shall not, however, protect the operator of any such vehicle from criminal prosecution for conduct constituting reckless disregard of the safety of persons and property. Nothing in this section shall release the operator of any such vehicle from civil liability for failure to use reasonable care in such operation.
Now I just have two questions:
Do you see any lights or hear any sirens? and What would happen if I had passed him like he did me?
Your comments please!
