Hi guys,
Just opened the back drivers side door and water started coming out of the two little holes at the bottom. I could see they were full of crud (dunno how) so I got something to poke in the holes and water started pouring out! There was enough to make a puddle on the floor. I cleaned out the holes, let it all drain out and squirted some wd40 in there.
Is that enough to sort it? Is there a prob that causes water build up?
Sorry to be a pain

ADHD: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity DisorderChildhood Mental Disorders and IllnessesChild Development & Parenting: Infants (0-2)Child Development & Parenting: Early (3-7)
During early childhood, children learn another self-care skill that gives them more independence than any other skill they will learn during this phase of life -toilet training. It's also one of the self-care skills that caregivers most anticipate, as leaving diaper duty behind is a huge relief. Surprisingly, toilet training is a controversial topic. How soon should children learn to use the toilet on their own? What is the best method? Should parents use training pants (sometimes called "pull-ups") or go cold turkey with real underwear? We provide a brief overview of toilet training in this article. Caregivers interested in learning more specific and detailed information about toilet training can consult our article about toilet training. (This article is not yet complete.)
In theory, children could be ready for toilet training as early as age 2, because most babies of this age recognize the urge to urinate or defecate and can control the sphincter muscles that facilitate waste elimination. Before this point, infants are simply unable to physiologically monitor and to control waste removal from their bodies. In other words, very young babies and toddlers can't tell that they have to "go" before it's too late (they already went!), and they are unable to control whether or not they "go".
Age 2 is also typically the earliest age that toddlers have developed the gross motor ability to walk to the restroom, and the fine motor ability to dress and undress themselves. However, as stated before, each child develops individually, and many children will not have these physical skills mastered by age 2.
Most often, the best way to tell that a young child is ready to start toilet training is to watch for signs of readiness. Typically, children will show you clear signs that they are ready to try using the toilet on their own. For example, a child might want to watch Mom or Dad use the bathroom. Or, a child may sit on the "potty" on her own without prompting, or come to you and tug on his diaper (or use a word for diaper or dirty) when it's wet or soiled. Even though child development experts do not agree on the best technique to use for toilet training, they do agree that it is extremely important that the toilet training phase not be rushed. Just because children are physically ready to toilet train does not mean that they are mentally or emotionally ready to do so. Successful toilet training depends on having all three factors (physical, cognitive and emotional readiness) in place.
Children normally master toilet training tasks in a specific developmental order. Typically, children first learn to notice the warning signals and react in time to master daytime defecation, and then nighttime defecation. Next, children typically learn how to react to their bodies' signals for daytime urination. Nighttime urination is the hardest for young children to control, and this step may take longer than the others to achieve.
Most children are toilet trained by age 5 or 6, in time to begin school. Most kindergartens require that students have mastered toilet training; some preschool settings require it as well. However, at this age, this new skill isn't perfect, and accidents can happen. Bed wetting may still be a common occurrence, because nighttime urine control is the last and hardest task to master. Young boys may take longer than young girls to toilet train, and boys may also have a longer period of nighttime accidents.
Practicing patience throughout the entire toilet training process is important. You may hear some parents tell stories about how their little ones simply ripped off their diaper one day and never looked back. This is rare and unusual and NOT the norm! Each child will toilet train at his or her own pace, and parents should offer guidance and encouragement in a consistent, calm manner and let nature take its course. Again, more specific tips and advice about toilet training can be found in our Toilet Training article (This article is not yet complete).

You've Been Haacked For a Year
I've kept a couple of other blogs before, but this is my first with staying power. My blog new year resolutions include being even more irreverent, geeky, rash, and misguided (if even possible). It's been one year, and I recently passed the 500 post mark without even noticing (I hate missing an opportunity to party).
If you're a regular reader (hi Mom, Dad, Wife), do you realize that there's much better drivel out there? But you probably read this blog for the same reason I read yours, you're trying to expunge some latent guilt by self flagellation (Ignore the fact that the phrase "self flagellation" is redundant.). I hope that works out for you.
Seriously though, I've been surprised by the quality of comments I receive on my postings. I may have a few readers, but they're smart readers *cough* *suckup* *cough*. Except for those who find this site by Google and are not searching for a technical topic. Them are the dumbest f***s I've ever seen.
Well stick around, I have an exciting line-up of topics coming up. They actually involve a bit of work *damn!*, so they'll be out less frequently. But they will be above poor. I'll probably try to blatantly start a controversy or two to drum up traffic so that people will click on my ads (oops, I'm not supposed to promote the ads, there's controversy #1) and this blog can pay for itself. And you can be sure I'll continue to be one vain motherblogger.

Apple Inc. is in talks with Comcast Corp. about teaming up for a streaming-television service that would use an Apple set-top box and get special treatment on Comcast's cables to ensure it bypasses congestion on the Web, people familiar with the matter say.
The discussions between the world's most valuable company and the nation's largest cable provider are still in early stages, and many hurdles remain. But the deal, if sealed, would mark a new level of cooperation and integration between a technology company and a cable provider to modernize TV viewing.
Comcast is the dominant cable and Internet provider in the Twin Cities.
Apple's intention is to allow users to stream live and on-demand TV programming and digital-video recordings stored in the "cloud," effectively taking the place of a traditional cable set-top box.
Apple would benefit from a cable-company partner because it wants the new TV service's traffic to be separated from public Internet traffic over the "last mile"--the portion of a cable operator's pipes that connects to customers' homes, the people familiar with the matter say. That stretch of the Internet tends to get clogged when too many users in a region try to access too much bandwidth at the same time.
Apple's goal would be to ensure users don't see hiccups in the service or buffering that can take place while streaming Web video, making its video the same quality as Comcast's TV transmissions to normal set-top boxes.
While devices such as Microsoft's Xbox gaming console and Roku's set-top box have made some inroads in the TV industry, none offer the kind of fully formed TV service, with the guarantee of network quality, that Apple desires.
Apple has spent several years exploring various avenues to enter TV, but it has been unable thus far to find business models that media companies and cable providers find appealing.
Getting the support of Comcast would give Apple's plans a big boost. The companies share a common goal: advancing set-top box technology so that TV more closely resembles the easy-to-use apps and streaming-video services to which consumers are growing accustomed. Innovation is becoming a high priority for content-owners and operators amid pay-TV subscriber losses and fears that a younger generation of consumers will forgo paying for TV altogether.
Apple and Comcast aren't close to an agreement, said one person familiar with the talks. Delivering the service quality Apple envisions would require Comcast to make significant investments in network equipment and other back-office technology, according to people familiar with Comcast's thinking.
The companies also differ on how deep a relationship Apple should have with Comcast's customers. Apple has proposed that users would sign on to the new device using Apple login IDs, and it is interested in controlling customer data, the people familiar with the matter said. Apple also has asked for a cut of the monthly subscription fees paid by customers, these people said.
Comcast wants to retain significant control over the relationship with customers and the data.
Furthermore, Apple must acquire significant TV programming rights from media companies, one of the people said. Comcast would want to ensure that the price Apple has to pay to acquire rights wouldn't cause the service to be priced higher than traditional pay-TV service, this person said.
Apple has had discussions since at least mid-2012 with Time Warner Cable, the No. 2 operator, people familiar with the matter said. Those talks, known internally at Time Warner Cable as "Project Jupiter," came to a standstill when the cable operator became a takeover target, the people said. Comcast in February agreed to acquire Time Warner Cable for $45 billion, a deal regulators are reviewing that would give Comcast a total of 30 million U.S. customers, after proposed divestitures.
Under the plan Apple proposed to Comcast, Apple's video streams would be treated as a "managed service" traveling in Internet protocol format -- similar to cable video-on-demand or phone service. Those services travel on a special portion of the cable pipe that is separate from the more congested portion reserved for public Internet access.
People familiar with the matter said that while Apple would like a separate "flow" for its video traffic, it isn't asking for its traffic to be prioritized over other Internet-based services.
Those distinctions are important because of merger conditions Comcast agreed to as part of its 2011 acquisition of NBCUniversal. Those "net-neutrality" restrictions, which will be in place through 2018, say Comcast cannot "unreasonably discriminate" in how it transmits network traffic.
The Federal Communications Commission is in the process of drafting net- neutrality rules for the broadband industry after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in January tossed out an earlier set of regulations the agency had in place.
The FCC has signaled that its new rules will prevent Internet service providers from blocking or slowing down access to Web content providers that don't pay a toll. It isn't clear what approach the FCC will take to a situation in which a provider such as Apple wants enhanced treatment for a cloud-based service in partnership with an operator.

Suffice it to say, the BlackBerry has become an indispensable tool for millions of small and mid-size businesses, largely in part to its reliable push-mail solution that delivers messages to your phone as soon as they arrive in an inbox.
But in order to maintain its competitive edge, the Waterloo, Ontario-based Research in Motion understands it needs to open up its doors to third-party applications to help businesses remain productive while on the go.
"There has been phenomenal growth in applications available for the BlackBerry platform," confirms Tyler Lessard, director of independent software vendor alliances at Research in Motion. "We are signing new partners every day and being approached constantly by people who are looking for ways to increase the mobile capabilities of their applications using the BlackBerry solution."
The following are a few recommended applications that can help you and your employees stay in touch, keep organized and remain competitive, wherever business takes you. Be sure to check with your cell carrier for availability and pricing.
Rather than purchase a separate GPS unit to help you navigate from point A to B without getting lost, or finding relevant location-based info, a GPS-enabled BlackBerry lets you have it all on one device. Small and mid-size businesses "especially benefit from services like TeleNav because they save on travel time and they reduce the need for road warriors to call in for guidance," says Carmi Levy, senior vice president for strategic consulting at AR Communications, a Toronto-based marketing communications firm. "[Employees] work more independently, consuming less office time and spending more time in front of customers."
eOffice from DynoPlex
eOffice lets you easily access and manage all your documents, wherever and whenever -- all stored remotely on your office PC, through a password-protected virtual hard disk on the Internet. As if it were stored locally on the smartphone, you can now retrieve, review, edit, and save documents -- such as Microsoft Word or Excel files. "Attachments are an increasingly frequent reality for anyone who sends and receives e-mail, and although the basic BlackBerry OS allows Office files to be viewed, the experience is severely limited," says Levy. "DynoPlex's eOffice is often good enough that users can leave their laptops at home and travel lighter on business trips."
This voicemail-to-text service can save you time because there's no need to dial in to pick up your voice mail. Instead, an accurate transcript of the voicemail message is text messaged to you automatically so you can simply read the message on your BlackBerry. After all, you might be in a meeting and unable to answer that important call from a client, your boss, or a member of your staff. Well, now you can discretely glance at a text message which has the content of the voicemail message on your phone.
Nuance Voice Control from Nuance Communications
Consider it an alternative to using your thumbs to type your way through all of your BlackBerry's functions -- such as making calls, drafting an e-mail or adding a calendar entry -- as you can use the power of your voice to take command. Your spoken words are transcribed into text for, say, an e-mail message, or you can choose to send your voice clip as an e-mail attachment. "Voice-activated control and navigation can remove the last barrier to on-the-road productivity -- the tiny keyboard -- from potential objections to wider mobile deployment," explains Levy.
WebMessenger from Apptix
This all-in-one instant messaging (IM) client supports a broad range of services, including AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, ICQ, and Jabber. For small and mid-size businesses with mobile employees that need to routinely interact with the home office in real-time, "the presence awareness offered by an always-on IM client can be a compelling driver of productivity," says Levy. "Road warriors can get answers to their questions more quickly, which allows them to spend more time servicing customers and less time waiting around."
Other BlackBerry applications to check out:
"We find that organizations are interested in applications that access [small business] CRM and accounting packages such as Goldmine, ACT, and Quicken," says RIM's Lessard.
Impatica Showmate allows mobile professionals to deliver PowerPoint presentations directly from their BlackBerry smartphone.
MobiMate's Worldmate Live and Handmark's PocketExpress can greatly enhance personal productivity and efficiency while traveling with tools that include flight status updates, rental car information, and world weather.
Virtual Reach's Viigo is an RSS reader that can track, download, and display critical pieces of regularly updated content, such as news, stock values, and sports.

Three people were arrested Wednesday after police reported finding heroin, crack, a large sum of money and a gun in a home along the 600 block of Slocum Avenue.
Officers arrived at the home around 3 a.m. after receiving tips that drugs were being sold from the home and to search for a woman who had a warrant, according to a Lancaster police report.
Officers were allowed inside and located the woman. She was arrested on a probation violation warrant, the report said.
While searching the home, officers found a cigarette container containing crack, marijuana and heroin, the report said.
In addition, a handgun was found under a mattress and $1,086 was found in a man's sock, the report said.
A man and a woman were arrested and taken to the Fairfield County Jail.
The woman faces felony drug charges and the man faces felony charges in connection with the gun.

The shape of things to come?
"New Lens Scenarios" for the challenge of changing times.
The decisions that we make today are the key to our future.
This is true for individuals, commercial organisations and even nation states.
Trying to predict which choices will be most beneficial can be extremely difficult, and these challenges become progressively harder as we look further ahead and try to assess the consequences of future events.
There is no doubt that we live in changing times.
By 2050, the global population will be about nine billion and, with millions of people climbing out of poverty, global energy demand could be as much as 80% higher than it is today.
That is one of the conclusions from Shell's "New Lens Scenarios", which were launched at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, USA, by Peter Voser, Chief Executive of Royal Dutch Shell, and Jeremy Bentham, Head of Shell's Scenarios Team.
These new scenarios examine economic, political and energy supply trends to predict what might happen over the coming decades.
Making predictions on this scale may seem an enormously ambitious task, but, for more than 40 years, Shell has been looking into the future and developing a systematic discipline of scenario planning to help it, and various governments across the world, to make better choices (see Impact Issue 1, 2013).
Covering a vast and complex subject area, the Shell Scenarios attempt to make sense of global trends and to promote wide-ranging discussions about the future.
Bentham says, "The success of these scenarios lies not only in the strategic insights that they provide, but also in the approach they offer to developing and sharing these insights."
The "New Lens Scenarios" document is subtitled "A Shift in Perspective for a World in Transition".
Bentham says, "[This] reflects current volatility and multiple transitions in economic, political and social spheres, and a heightened focus on issues around energy and environment.
Given the transitions we are seeing at present, it is unrealistic to propose a single view of tomorrow's world.
From networks of power and the pace of change to the policy agenda and resource landscape, it is perspective that shapes perception.
"Our scenarios provide a detailed analysis of current trends and how we expect them to develop.
They examine implications for the pace of global economic development, the types of energy we will use to power our lives and the anticipated growth in greenhouse gas emissions. Looking at what might happen over the next 50 years," he continues, "we have identified two possible scenarios of the future, which we are calling 'Mountains' and 'Oceans'.
These scenarios take into account various paradoxes and pathways that we use as 'lenses' through which to view the world."
The "New Lens Scenarios" identifies three major paradoxes: prosperity, leadership and connectivity.
The prosperity paradox, for example, examines the balance between economic development and the associated environmental, resource, financial, political and social stresses that can undermine some of the benefits of prosperity.
Private gains can flourish while public costs mount, and greater comforts today may lead to greater risks tomorrow.
In pathways, there are two distinct possibilities: "room to manoeuvre", where financial, social, political or technological capital encourages early action and results in effective change or reform; and "trapped in transition", where financial, social, political or technological capacity proves inadequate to withstand stresses.
Behavioural responses delay change and cause conditions to worsen until, ultimately, a reset is forced or a collapse occurs.
Shell has drawn these paradoxes and pathways into two separate scenarios.
The Mountains scenario sees a strong role for governments and the introduction of firm and far-reaching policy measures that help to develop more-compact cities and transform the global transport network.
New policies unlock plentiful natural gas resources, thereby making gas the largest global energy source by the 2030s, and accelerate carbon capture and storage technology to support a cleaner energy system.
The Oceans scenario describes a more prosperous and volatile world where energy demand surges in response to strong economic growth.
Power is more widely distributed and governments take longer to reach major decisions.
Market forces rather than policies shape the energy system: oil and coal remain part of the energy mix but renewable energy also grows.
By the 2070s, the world's largest energy source is solar.
Some of the key factors the "New Lens Scenarios" consider are:
- intensified economic cycles related to the "great moderation" in advanced industrial economies;
- heightened political and social instability stimulated in part by economic volatility;
- tensions in the international order, as multilateral institutions struggle to adjust to shifts in economic power and other arrangements proliferate;
- significant demographic transitions involving ageing populations in some places and youth bulges in others, and relentless urbanisation in both fastemergingand less-developed economies;
- surging energy demands driven by growing populations and prosperity, new energy supplies emerging while others struggle to keep pace, and greenhouse gas emissions increasing, particularly from growth in coal consumption;
- the deployment of technological advances enabling rapid growth in resources plays such as shale gas and liquid-hydrocarbon-rich shale;
- the advancement of technology for utilising renewable resources and a rapidly growing supply from a small, but established, base; and
- better defined and significantly challenged ecological boundaries, including pressures arising from the water–energy–food stress nexus in response to greater supply and demand tightness.
Faced with so many issues, is it really possible to create a useful model of the future? Bentham believes so.
"Given these developments, any plausible outlooks that we come up with will be messy and patchy," he says.
"Nevertheless, we have found that these new lenses can help us view familiar landscapes from fresh angles, which helps us focus on and clarify possible futures.
As always, drawing on the knowledge and imagination of a network of gifted people, both within and outside Shell, has been vital to the success of our scenario building efforts."
Despite the complexity of the challenge, Bentham believes the "New Lens Scenarios" stay true to the ethos of Shell's scenario building pioneers.
"The early scenario developers embraced intuition, uncertainty and engagement," he says.
"They did not shy away from talking about what could be considered unimaginable.
Today's scenario builders do the same, although they use much more complex econometric models and sophisticated methodologies.
The process now includes a huge range of short-, medium- and long-term portraits of global energy developments and individual country analyses.
We also factor in the effects of major social trends such as urbanisation."
Within Shell, scenario building is recognised as a useful and sophisticated tool, but that is only part of the story, "The other part of our challenge is to communicate the findings from our scenarios in a clear and compelling way," Bentham explains.
"The greatest benefits from the work we have done will only come once we have engaged the decision-making executives, shared what we have found and helped to influence how their decisions shape the future."

The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Feb. 21:
In what has become a depressingly familiar ritual, computer security experts revealed that hackers with apparent ties to a foreign government - in this case, the Chinese military - had "systematically stolen hundreds of terabytes of data from at least 141 organizations" since 2006.
But while such high-level international cyber intruders grab headlines, most successful online attacks are not all that sophisticated. According to a new paper by James A. Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, the vast majority of successful hacks could have been stopped by relatively simple precautions. Yet many companies don't take even the most obvious steps to guard against data theft and service disruptions, let alone equip themselves to stop high-level attacks.
The challenge for policymakers is how to solve that problem while beefing up the public's defenses against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks. A promising Senate bill was stymied last year by business groups afraid that it would lead to burdensome federal regulations, leading President Obama to issue an executive order this month that addresses some aspects of the threat. Obama went further Wednesday, announcing new diplomatic and trade initiatives aimed at deterring cyber thieves. But Congress needs to do more.
The House has taken the path of least resistance, passing a business-friendly bill last year that would remove the legal barriers that stop companies and the government from sharing data about hacks. An alternative sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, also sought to establish voluntary performance standards for cyber security, but it died in the face of specious industry warnings about the standards becoming mandatory and government-dictated.
Obama's executive order requires federal agencies to reveal more information to companies about the cyber threats they detect. It also calls for the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop a voluntary "framework of cyber-security practices."
The order is welcome, but it wouldn't enable companies to send more of the information they gleaned from their networks about hackers to other companies or the government. As helpful as that might be, Congress would first have to lift limits on data sharing.
The most powerful feature of the executive order is a requirement that federal regulators of banks, power plants and other providers of critical infrastructure use the new framework to evaluate and improve any existing cyber-security rules. Still, those companies operate only a fraction of the computers being targeted by hackers. More companies need to step up their security efforts, and it's up to Congress to provide the motivation that the market clearly has not.

The Battlefield 3 Open Beta is coming to PSN in just a few days! It will run from September 29th to October 10th and it will be your chance to play the game early, test out the new Battlelog social platform, and give feedback.
There's actually some even cooler news to go with the beta annoucement. Starting with the Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand (coming out later this year,) all full upcoming expansion packs will arrive a week early exclusively on PS3. Definitely unexpected, considering Microsoft's requirements for title releases.
The Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand expansion pack features four maps from Battlefield 2 that have been "boldly reimagined in the Frostbite 2 engine." You'll also see new weapons, vehicles, in-game dog tags, persistence and Trophies.
Want to join the beta? Head to the PlayStation Store and download the Battlefield 3 demo. Also, if you have a Medal of Honor: Limited Edition or Tier 1 Edition Online Pass, you'll automatically get a personal email from DICE and score 48-hour early access allowing you to play on September 27th.

LAS CRUCES >> The New Mexico State football program received a much needed facility upgrade since last season.
Thanks to a $1.3 million gift from Aggies alum Stan Fulton, the Aggie Memorial Stadium turf was changed from grass to synthetic turf over the summer and the Coca-Cola Weight Center was upgraded as well.
"In athletics we ask two questions: Are we going to be within budget? And are we going to be done in time?" said James Hall, NMSU associate athletics director.
The turf installation process was completed just in time for the Aggies season opener on Thursday against Cal Poly.
MolzenCorbin was contracted for the field turf installation project, which took three months to complete and cost about $1.3 million because of the need for a more sophisticated drainage system. NMSU officials said the turf installation at Aggie Memorial Stadium should not be compared to the public schools' turf project at Field of Dreams on Tashiro Road that was completed in less than two months for $800,000, because the two fields have different configurations because of the stadium's bowl shape, the NMSU project calls for an advanced system that will be able to handle inclement weather and excess water.
A separate donation by an anonymous party donated $750,000 for upgrades to the weight room with equipment from Samson Equipment.

Figure 3.
In vivo tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α treatment resulted in decreased interferon (IFN)-γ secretion by B177-restimulated LNC without affecting their proliferative response. LEW rats were treated with PBS (□) or TNFα () as described in the legend to Figure 2, with the exception that one subgroup of rats was immunised with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra (Mtb) (a, c, e), whereas the other was injected with HEL/IFA (b, d, f). At day 9 after injection with Mtb or HEL, the draining LNC of these rats were harvested and tested in a proliferation assay ((a, b); n = 8 each). Peptide 333 to 347 of Bhsp65 (B333), peptide 65 to 78 of HEL (HEL65), and native HEL were used as control peptide/protein antigens. The results are presented as mean stimulation index (SI) ± SEM. In addition, the supernates collected after 72 h of culture of LNC of Mtb- or HEL-immunised rats were tested by ELISA for IFN-γ (c, d) and interleukin (IL)-10 (e, f) (n = 5 each). The results of cytokine analysis are shown as Δ pg/ml (mean ± SEM). *, p < 0.05 and **, p ≤ 0.025, when compared with the respective PBS control.

Restaurants in Amalfi
Although the entrance to this 140-year-old trattoria in the Amalfi Coast is off a narrow backstreet, the floral, outdoor terrace on the second floor overlooks the busy Via Lorenzo and holds the most ambiance in the otherwise modestly decorated restaurant.
On a coast where the dining choices seem divided between pretentious, overpriced temples of haute cuisine and unmemorable restaurants with their pizza ovens aimed squarely at the tourist masses, it's refreshing to find a holdout like Da Barracca.
Don't be fooled by the entrance, under a tunnel along the main coastal road: La Caravella has been one of the area's finest restaurants for nearly 50 years, a required culinary stop since Federico Fellini, Andy Warhol, and Jackie Kennedy put it on the map in the 1960s.
It may be located on the lower level of a ho-hum hotel, but the food that comes out of this diminutive kitchen is anything but.

Nice Shoes has significantly enhanced their design division with the addition of Brian Bowman to head the department as the company's new creative director.
Press Release from Nice Shoes
Nice Shoes has significantly enhanced their design division with the addition of Brian Bowman to head the department as the company's new creative director. Bowman, who is moving to Nice Shoes after spending time as creative director at Digital Kitchen and designer at Tronic Studios, will be tasked with building a design and production unit to complement the company's well-known color-grading and VFX capabilities. The hire is part of a long-term growth strategy that included the merging of design and animation company Freestyle Collective into Nice Shoes operations late last year.
Bowman has staked a reputation for flawlessly executing ambitious, comprehensive design projects. His recent collaboration with Crispin Porter + Bogusky on the Cuervo Games 2010 - highlighted by large, iconic elements, including graphics and structures that functioned as wayfinding, branding and identity for the event - is typical of the scope and holistic nature of his projects.
"Brian is perfectly suited to come into Nice Shoes and build our design capabilities," noted Nice Shoes EP Maribeth Phillips. "He provides creative leadership in both the traditional and nontraditional areas that will elevate our design division to the level of our world class visual effects and color grading units. Brian's many past experience projects significantly enhance our capabilities as we seek to take on ever larger and more complex work in that vein."
Bowman's past projects include an interactive Microsoft/Operation Smile event to launch Windows Live, in which he combined live generative content with traditional CG and projected it onto a 60-foot-high sphere on New York's South Street Seaport; a time-lapse/live-action video, Meridian, which described the material connection between the ethereal universe and human perception; and the Go Humans Go film featuring large scale letterforms made out of people for Goodby, Silverstein & Partners' Quaker Oats campaign launch in Times Square. He has also completed notable work for MTV, HBO and the Webby Awards.
"Nice Shoes is legendary in the color-grading and CG realms, and I'm eager to help lead the design division to the same plateau," stated Bowman. "They're working aggressively to expand the studio and I've been given creative license to make something really unique. We already have some exciting projects planned that I can't wait to get to work on."
Meridian earned a 2009 selection for South by Southwest. His films have also screened at onedotzero, Resfest,Bitfilm and 25 FPS. An in-demand speaker, Bowman has spoken at Syracuse University's School of Architecture, Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Luster in New York, and at F5.
About Nice Shoes:NYC-based Nice Shoes is a full service, artist-driven design, animation, visual effects and color grading studio specializing in high-end commercials, web content, film, TV and music videos. Since its inception in 1996, the studio has prided itself on consistently reinvesting in its talent, technical backbone, and client experience to set the standard of excellence both creatively and technically. Key company principals include: CEO/Partner Dominic Pandolfino, Partner Joe Bottazzi, Managing Director Mike Donovan, CDs Brian Bowman and Aron Baxter, Colorists/Partners Chris Ryan and Lez Rudge, EPs Pat Portela and Maribeth Phillips, VFX Artist/Partner Rich Schreck, CFO / COO Julia Kisla, CTO Bob Keske, and VP of Sales & Marketing Travis Taylor.

As of Friday, June 14, 2013

DAWSON, Ga. -- The Terrell County Historic Preservation Society recently received the Historic Preservation Recognition Award from the Old Herod Chapter of National Society Daughters of the American Revolution for outstanding achievements in all areas of historic preservation.
The award ceremony was conducted in the historic Carnegie Library building. The restoration of that building is one of the more visible projects undertaken by TCHPS.
Volunteers have devoted hundreds of hours to numerous projects, including inventory of county cemeteries, publication of the history of Terrell County, compiling a book of interviews with local retired military veterans, installation and maintenance of historic district street signs and a weekly article on history for the Dawson newspaper.
"They contributed funds to purchase a new reader/viewer for the local library genealogy room and have funded the restoration of space used by the newly-established Terrell County History Museum, a much-needed cultural venue for the community," said Freida Boyles, regent with Old Herod Chapter of NSDAR.
"In all endeavors of its members, the organization has supported and encouraged its member volunteers in their preservation efforts for the city and county."

Father of man shot by police says $2.2 million settlement will go to charities, police departments
Father of Kent Kramer who was killed by officers in 2010 gives settlement money to police
Published On: Aug 17 2012 03:11:23 PM EDT
The father of a 29-year-old man who was fatally shot by a Michigan police officer in 2010 says money from a $2.2 million court settlement over his death will go to charities and police departments.
The Times Herald of Port Huron reports the list of those getting money includes the Sandusky Police Department.
Kent Kramer was shot to death Feb. 27, 2010 by Sandusky Officer Scott Mintz during an attempted arrest.
Doug Kramer says he hopes money will be used for training.
A federal civil lawsuit against the city of Sandusky and Mintz was settled out of court this week.
Kent Kramer was shot five times.
Police said Mintz was attempting to arrest Kramer for drunken driving when he became belligerent.
A prosecutor cleared Mintz in the shooting.

Without seeing the output of the bluescreen code (which would name the module that is failing along with a hex dump) I would assume from your description so far that your mpeg video codec is borked. If you could post the error on the bluescreen would help.Originally Posted by niclus
The codecs I think are ok because I run it on diffrent os and it happens every time The error is 0x00000007f
The codecs are part of your operating system, not something on the media itself. That the discs work fine on another operating system only proves the point that the issue is with your OS, either a codec issue or a display driver issue.

The hex error you gave isn't enough information. 0x00000007f is just a pointer to *where* in a module's code the error is happening. Prior to the hex address you would have an actual module or system file name like NTKRNL or vga.sys. That's what is needed to help point you in the right direction of fixing the problem.

Microsoft Year-End Report Card: B-
Well, Redmond, it's been a funny year, hasn't it? Even if you ignore those Apple commercials, it's hard to ignore the fact that Vista was probably one of the main reasons people switched to the Mac OS, or to third-party Linux-based systems. We'll get to the big V—and that other mighty stain Windows Mobile—in a bit,… »

EL MUERTO PEAK. El Muerto Peak is twenty-eight miles northwest of Fort Davis in west central Jeff Davis County (at 30°40' N, 104°20' W). It rises to an elevation of 5,900 feet above sea level, 500 feet above State Highway 166, four miles to the southeast. On the peak, shallow, stony soils support live oak, piñon, juniper, and grasses. The mountain is named for El Muerto ("Dead Man") Spring, on its north flank. Legend has it that a dead man was found near the spring in 1854 or 1855, when the first mail coaches between Santa Fe and San Antonio stopped there. Another story relates that around the same time, William A. A. (Bigfoot) Wallace was driving the San Antonio-El Paso mail coach and stopped at the spring to mend his buckskin breeches. Indians attacked him, and he escaped and supposedly made his way to El Paso with the mail but without his pants. Yet another legend holds that in 1879 twenty-nine bars of gold, along with silver, jewels, and other treasure, were buried in the area. The supposed treasure has never been found, despite much subsequent digging by trespassers.

Politics Counts
She is a creep number one. The cost have already gone up, people are paying much more and getting far less. Just because premium haven't gone up 40% only mean people are paying more for FAR LESS.
Say, didn't President Obama sell his "behind the door" negotiations that his healthcare act would not cost us citizens "one dime"?
This is what socialism does to costs. As always a very poor to increase productivity and control costs. God help us.
she devil. i particularly love the voter registration that accompanies the obama care registration. can you say cohersion?
The Ice Queen puts another more people's economic situation into deep freeze.
How's that centrally planned economy working comrades?
My premiums have done nothing but go up since this law took effect. Way up. When she says that "premiums could go up", that means, bend over and grab your ankles for ObamaCare. And don't forget to register to vote when you sign up for your ObamaCash subsidies.
as i physician who has actually read the act, it does what it set out to do. It is the slow death of private health insurance as we know it. What if I dont want mental health insurance or I want to pay for my colonoscopy or PSA, in return for lower premiums? Cant get that plan. as the govt requires insurance to pay for those as screening. Real evidence based doctors know that only a few preventive services actually save money. The rest raises our premiums. There are no options in Obamacare as all plans must be the same. So soon we will all be the same. No more I, only we.
above should say that only a few preventive services save money as the govt says, and only a few actually save lives
who's the bigger liar? Sebelius for spouting this crap or WSJ for mouthpieceing it uncontesred?
Is she the last person in the US to hear this? Good grief where has she been?
So she believes in the market to keep premiums competitive but not in the market to produce "right sized" insurance products? Instead, we will force individuals to purchase insurance far beyond what they may need. Riiiiigghht.
Some people will see their rates go down. But, good luck actually finding one of those people.
Tell me, Ms. Sebelius, why my family's PPO rates practically doubled to the point where we were forced to increase our deductible and out-of-pocket expenses just to lower the monthly premiums? Two of my sons have always had complete coverage; since O'Care became law, they now have catastrophic care policies only. My son with a pre-existing condition (he's a normal young man and he's fine) hasn't had insurance for the last 14 months for the first time in his life. Additionally, his hours at work have been cut to under 30 hours per week so that his employer could avoid paying the premiums. My family is being ripped off by an ill-thought-out law where our premiums are being raised to cover a bunch of slugs for the most part, most of whom will vote for Dems. Did they ever hear of Medicaid?
"...subsidies available to a lot of that population..."
I.e. you suckers paying full freight also get to foot the bill for the tweekers and other slackers! What a deal!
to defend obama's words....his promises that we can keep our plans, and cost will go down???
blind idiots.
all of those union supporters and Pelosi constituents who got waivers?
think about it...if this is the best thing since sliced bread, why did obama give a little pass to his buds?
obama screws the middle class, and upper middle class, while giving more the the welfare folks, his favorites, and his uber rich buddies won't feel the sting.....like us working people.
I have predicted that even with subsidies, the plans in the exchanges will be so expensive that the people this law is most meant to help will still not be able to afford the plans.
yes....which sets us up for the gov to just take over, which is what the health care bill is all about.
then, we, the middle class can expect to see 45 percent tax rates, and 6 month waits for non-emergent surgery.
can't fiscally manage the money that it takes from us for our social security, has medicare on the brink of fiscal destruction and expanded medicaid to unsustainable numbers....how can it efficiently manage the health care of 300 million people??
not to mention, look at the state of public education and the prison system.
You hit the nail on the head.
Republicans want governance by Harvey the invisible Easter bunny. Donkeys want governance by medieval socialist leeches. 25% of this nations wealth goes to DC? You're kidding, right?
Looks like Obama LIED ... again
Healthcare is better in Canada anyway... but Obamacare is great if you're on welfare , food stamps , "disability fraud" , section 8 housing
As a self-employed, self-insured person, I've already gotten a taste of what higher premiums and "expanded services" mean under ObamaCare. In exchange for sharply higher premiums, I now have "free" access to a host of politically favored services that, due to my age, gender and lifestyle, it is extremely unlikely if not biologically impossible that I will ever need or use. Meanwhile, the services that I do use continue to come with exorbitant out-of-pocket fees, due to my high deductible. In other words, I'm paying much more for the same bad coverage, in order to provide free care for other people. Which of course was the whole point of ObamaCare all along.
This is the only the beginning of problems for this monstrosity. When people find out that it is cheaper to pay the tax than to purchase health insurance, costs for the rest of the population (especially employers who provide insurance) will see their costs go up. Until they realize that it is cheaper to pay the employer tax for NOT providing insurance than it is to provide insurance for their employees. Keep an eye on October when employers go through the process to renew insurance. I predict many will drop the healthcare benefit and tell their employees to have fun in the exchanges...if they exist and are up and running. This is what happens when you turn your life over to the statists.
Obamacare and the experience come January 1st means the end of House and Senate Democrats in 2014, and the end of the party itself in 2016.
Let me be the first to welcome our new Republican overlords!
Anyone with a brain could see this was going to happen. I have been telling all my Obama loving sheep friends "I told you so. Now live with it.". I actually love laughing in their faces and waiting for their excuses.
Hey...WAIT a Minute! The guy in the White House PROMISED OB Care would not impact insurance costs! The Society of Actuaries, a nonpartisan professional association, has issued a new report warning that the cost of medical claims in the new individual-insurance market could rise by an average of 32% per person over the first few years the law is in place,
Oh yea....More income redistribution...Everyone...STOP working....President Wreck America Now won't let you keep it anyway!
Told ya...hope you dipsticks who wanted this enjoy Obamacrapcare. Less services, more cost ...cheers.
I was preaching/commenting on this exact subject long before obozo's useless and extremely expnsive health care plan was even being read.I said that the insurance companys are stuck with paying the most with the middle class following them and I was right but the middle class will get hit twice because the insurance companys are going to do what they do best,which is to recoup their losses by raising the cost and or premiums of every single type of insurance there is and that's exactly what thei going to do unless we can get the plan repealed
Oh odummer care has affected my health care rates!!!! Goes up every year but this year, it went up $60 a MONTH!!!!!! Health care companies are out of control!!! I'm very close to not being able to afford insurance anymore!
Heaven Help Us, we have put a political hack (Sebelius) in charge of Obamacare. The reason she got there is because of her family political connections, not because of her qualifications. P.S. Her gender has nothing to do with my remarks. Lack of appropriate education and expertise do. We need to stop the practice of hiring politicians as administrators. Obama is famous for this practice.
Our deductibles went from $ 150 a year for each of us to $ 2750 a year for each of us , which means we basically have no coverage and my husband is union , I guess Harley Davidson didn't get one of those wonderful waivers ! Thanks a lot Obama slugs.
Lets not forget the lovely provision that if you don't have it next year they confiscate your tax returns...
Julie......... Obama care hasn't taken effect yet and won't take effect until 2014, what makes you think your husbands deductible are a result Obama care? Who told you that? I doubt the Union did.
What do you think will happen once competition sets in and YOUR insurance will stop subsidizing those without health care that use hospital emergency rooms. I am getting tired of paying higher premiums to pay for those that don't have or don't want to pay for healthcare premiums. You are paying health care premiums through your Union benefits whether you know it or not through reduced wages.
David, you honestly think you will no longer pay for those who don't pay for their care? You are going to be hit with the hidden taxes starting next year on top of the premiums you have to pay if your work can not afford to cover everyone. I hope you look into this inane health care plan better to find out what you are not really going to get and comment on it next year after the taxes hit.
Do you realize a family of 4 is going to have to pay somewhere around $24,000 a year? Fat chance because most will not be able to afford it and stay where they are living. It is not doing anyone but the takers a favor.
You don't believe the non insured people getting free care years before didn't drive up cost? Tell me how premiums are going up when Obama care hasn't talk place yet?
Private insurance greed is taking over before Obama starts, cause now they will have competition.

Part of that may have been due to an agreement he had with Bryzgalov; Burke only wanted to deal him to a team where he'd have a chance to become an established #1 goaltender (which pretty much eliminated the Pens).

When a suitable option couldn't be found via trade, Byrzgalov was waived. There were I believe three teams ahead of the Pens when Bryzgalov was waived.

This was a pretty good article detailing the demons that he's had to overcome in his life. I actually liked him when he played for the Capitals, and thought it was awesome that an NHL goon could also bring something to the table when it came to scoring. But with swinging his stick like a bat at someone's head and now using his skate like a chopping blade, I truly think the dude is crazy. Get him the hell out of this league.

LAS CRUCES - They're like your neighborhood travel agents - except their package tours' most unique feature is nowhere to be found on earth.
A group of actual "space agents" is touring Spaceport America and the surrounding Mesilla Valley through Thursday during the New Mexico Spaceport Authority's annual forum.
The agents are taking a guided tour spanning three counties to help impress upon potential customers what the area has to offer: Las Cruces, Mesilla, Hatch, Truth or Consequences, White Sands Missile Range and White Sands National Monument, the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento and the New Mexico Museum of Space History.
Currently under construction near Truth or Consequences, Spaceport America has been providing commercial launch services since 2006 and its state-of-the-art launch facility, which counts Lockheed Martin, Moog-FTS, Armadillo Aerospace, and UP Aerospace as tenants, is expected to become fully operational next year.
Spaceport America's anchor tenant Virgin Galactic plans to provide sub-orbital space flights and commercial service via its WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo vehicles. Only Virgin Galactic-affiliated agents will be able to book travel on SpaceShipTwo, which is progressing in development and will fly from Spaceport America when testing completes, according to a news release.
"Spaceport America is going to be a major destination for tourists from all over the world, whether visitors or Virgin Galactic customers," said Spaceport Authority Executive Director Rick Homans. "These (Virgin Galactic-)accredited space agents will help spread the word about New Mexico by promoting the spaceport."
