Subtlety has never been Miley Cyrus' strong suit. On Tuesday, the 20-year-old shared two pictures of herself having a "onezie party (of one)" with her 11.5 million Twitter followers. More notable, however, was the fact that the platinum-haired pop star was once again rocking her engagement ring from Liam Hemsworth.

Cyrus was first spotted without her 3.5 carat Neil Lane engagement ring on March 6, just hours after she slammed reports that she and Liam had called it quits. "I didn't call off my wedding," she tweeted. "Taking a break from social media." The former Hannah Montana star was ringless during several other outings, including one with Liam's friend, Paul Khoury; she later told a pal via Twitter it was being fixed.

Engaged since June 2012, the "Last Song" co-stars -- who broke up twice in 2010 -- were having "the worst fights of their relationship" before Liam headed home to Australia in early March, one source recently told Us Weekly. During the actor's getaway, "Miley and Liam [were] talking," another friend assured Us, "But he needed a beat."
The 23-year-old "Hunger Games" star spent time with his 29-year-old brother, Chris Hemsworth, his 36-year-old sister-in-law, Elsa Pataky, and his 10-month-old niece, India Rose. He also traveled to Manila, Philippines, to fulfill a promotional obligation for the Bench fashion line he represents.

"They love to push each other's buttons," a source says of Cyrus and her fiance, who have not announced an official split. The "Who Owns My Heart" singer, meanwhile, has kept busy by working on her upcoming album. "I can't sleep," she tweeted March 19. "Got my record on repeat."

Took delivery today on a 1973 coffee brown Raleigh Twenty frame and fork, seatpost (sans saddle clamp), and stem. I'm gathering parts, but I'm probably going to powder-coat it first. I have some questions about that and would appreciate any advice.
1. I've got a Brooks B17 in "British Racing Green" to put on it. I'm not very good at color-matching or design. What color would you choose for the frame given this choice of saddle?* Links to examples would be much appreciated.
2. What would you use to grind extraneous metal off the frame? I'm thinking of the chainguard hanger, and then, there's quite a bit of weld material here and there that doesn't seem to be serving any purpose. And I'm not talking the welds joining the tubes, I'm talking about weld material splattered here and there on the tubes.
Anyway, thanks for any advice.

Yes, Broken Courts, Flawed Practices, and the Parade of Fools: (Pt.1(a) Intro, Context)
[Published June 29, 2014; Post in edit mode late July-Aug. 2014; expanded to almost double the size,nearly 24,000 words; with background info….In most posts, a lot of the length is simply quotes, my style is not just tell, but "show and tell."]
Between "Pts.1" [1a and 1b] and "Pt.2" I expect to post more material on the Family Court Enhancement Project ("FCEP"), which I understand is all the talk about town (i.e., on the internet in these circles (use your search function to find some of it…). So the title of this blog refers to a series. It is a natural continuation of the recent (and from May 2012) "Parades, Charades and Facades," and my posting this is keeping a personal promise (to myself) for the year 2014, to expose what's underneath the rhetoric.
These parades, charades, and facades have become a problem for the people who match the profile of what they claim to represent, "Protective Parents" and/or "Battered Mothers," specifically. I am among that class and a witness of the practices, tactics, and censorships of dialogues involved. I believe collectively the groups involved comprise a cult, and exhibit all primary cult practices.
Before a few mental circuits of distressed parents disconnect, or melt from the heat of in "righteous indignation," ("But my children were abused; I am an incest survivor" etc.), this post is not about whether or not incest or abuse took place in those cases, or children are being placed in the care of batterers or dangerous parents. I'm a survivor, and I know that plenty of times, abuse, sometimes incest did take place and children ARE being placed in the care of batterers. Mine were….
It's about what kind of parents are taking a road trip (real, or virtually) with ANY advocacy organizations whose articles of incorporation (if any) boards of directors on their tax returns and patterns of incorporation, charitable filings they have not yet even identified (let alone read and understood), and what's worse to a destination they have not evaluated as sensible, based on analyses of those organizations in the larger context.
It's about the dangers of tunnel vision. Focus is one thing, but tunnel vision, an entirely different thing. it's about how even spending days, weeks and months on a combination of social media, group -emails, individual emails, and even supplemented by various published articles on a certain topic can still be like eating white bread and peanut butter only, and wondering why you can't make it through the marathon.
It's so easy to get a sense of TIME (date of origin of a group), PLACE (where did it originally incorporated, and if it's one of those state-skipping chameleon corporations, make a note of it, and find out where it's been before), SIZE (for that, see the financials), and POSITIONING (who else is it interlocking agenda with; and — this is important — is it talking from a religious-exempt institution, or from a law school, or center/institute (etc.) at a university, or individually. Universities, hospitals, government represent considerable clout, prestige and authority, and lesser accountability for said "Center" or Institute" when it comes to tracking the funding = tracking the influence. Is it a regular HHS grantee? On which federal funding streams?
Does it file separately — or has it got another organization as its fiscal agent? If that status changed (example in this post), when, and probably why?
It's about followers failing to set standards and keep leaders ethical.Consider: if as a parent, you would NOT want your kids to get into a strange cars with smiling strangers and start hitch-hiking with them, for years, recruiting others as you go, why have you demonstrated this same behavior by failing to do basic look-ups, and obtain those fiscal identities and trade-association connections?
[Example: Child-Justice, Inc. (Eileen King, fall 2012] connections to First Star = connections to NACC = connections to AFCC. Another: Battered Women's Justice Project ["BWJP"] connections (ongoing) to AFCC AND to Duluth, MN's "Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs" [connection to Ellen Pence, the HHS and DOJ-funded DV industry programming] AND recently, presenting at "BMCC" (Battered Mother's Custody Conference). Why would BMCC (and Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Goldstein) keep a ten-year silence (as if they were unaware of its existence) on what has been a $150 million/year federal since 1996 financing program around marriage and fatherhood promotion by way of diversions from Title IV-A, welfare, or the $10 million/year since 1996 (though first financed in 1988) Title IV-D (re: child support enforcement incentives, including percentage-based quotas) access visitation grants? Possibly because out of some of this funding comes the batterers intervention and supervised visitation networked industries, with solid income streams from court-ordered services, courtesy US taxpayers and privately, individual, extorted parents?
One significant "Why?" unanswered ought to indicate something seriously "off," but there are many — far too many — significant unanswered questions in this company. Suggestion: Come to a decision on the "why" and act on it. Insist on answers as a condition of telling your stories through these channels, lending credibility as the voice of the victims. As a condition of attending rallies, or advertising rallies, etc.
WHO are the friends of those empathetic friends? WHO are they leading you to?
Get the group identity first (the process is simple)! Assess size and special interest groups, and steer clear of groups which refuse to incorporate, or which refuse to submit state-level charitable returns when states require this — on time. And which attempt to censor conversations about areas of common interest, or refuse to educate followers about it in communications or in websites.
I have for years attempted to have intelligent conversations on the money trail and the matter of court-connected corporations, not to mention the more than obvious federal marriage/fatherhood promotion grants, with mothers who have been wrapped up in blogging their, or someone else's personal stories — without running basic background checks on who they're doing it for.
However, the leadership and by association followers have habitually refused to discuss these topics properly, timely, or thoroughly, remaining focused on the apparently preplanned solutions to the crises — essentially, get better trainers (i.e., themselves: a self-defining mixture of professionals, nonprofits, some groups absent any corporate identity and enough mothers who tell their stories to lend the experts credibility. For example, see in recent "Parades, Charades and Facades" post, or find and read a typical newsletter or press release from one of the members). Unless you look at other sources of information, on the same topic it is less clear how self-defining and discussion-limiting the conversations are.These are professionals whose background and skills are in the fields of persuasion, experienced in group situations and guided-group attempts at behavioral modification [seeking to persuade the court, persuade the public, or persuade the legislature towards system change, or persuade people to refer services and advertise product]. People who have obtained PhDs, published, conferenced, been professors, and many (not all) still are.
And there's been definite "guidance" on what is unacceptable to teach or talk about in these life-and-death matters.
Like, the money trail, from the United States (Executive Branch) Departments of HHS and DOJ. And private wealth pouring funds into producing certain custody-outcomes, by state, and by gender, and related quotas
Like, nonprofit trade associations that populate judge-ships, head family court services, and organize nationally to favor their members' interests.
So, the "Broken Courts, Flawed Practices" the court reform group's leadership it seems was all along as "the professionals" setting their sights on becoming the subject matter experts for this exact type of FCEP project, i.e., public recognition and with it, potential related spinoff income from close association with the "source," i.e., with people managing the funding stream out of the USDOJ (among other places)'s Office of Violence Against Women $400 million budget, and direction of public (federal) money funding grants stemming from the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act).
(Announcing the project June 2013 on facebook and responding to comments)
Barry Goldstein The courts' response to sexual abuse issues is particularly horrible and I hope that is included in the practices adopted by some of the courts. It is included in the best practices discussed in a few chapters for my next book with Mo Hannah.
I have been watching the promotion of this book since before it was first published in 2010 and noticed how relentless Barry is on the matter, and how followers of the Crisis in the Courts crowd do this as well, reblogging. Readers take note: Similar behavior for the book promoted about ten years earlier, same basic circles, by "Our Children Our Future Foundation" which corporation barely existed for two years. (See recent post "A Different Kind of Attention").
The book here is meant to sound so authoritative, but it isn't! It is anything but complete on the subject matter and its deliberate avoidance of reference to the money trail stemming from 1996-forward (Welfare reform) , to specific organizations, or any searchable terms or names which might better alert women, definitely primary target readers, to the scope and context and history of HOW "custody of abused children going to batterers" actually happens.
Track the organizations* promoting this book, and you will find a very speckled and incomplete trail of corporate and nonprofit filings with a literal obsession with intervention at the federal level while ignoring how the federal grants factor are already in place to intentionally produce certain custody outcomes. In other words, they are a significant factor in the problems to start with.

Bypassing the Legal Process in Baltimore: HOW and for WHOM Maryland got its "Family Divisions" in 1998.
This blog is published as-is, both formatting and editing. In my own defense (from its embarrassing look) — I have to type in half HTML, half "Visual" mode, with frequent "Preview" mode to check and correct… WordPress "Visual" mode is NOTHING like actual — as to paragraph breaks, spacing, and even font and line-height, unless I manually (copy & paste, or type in) controlling HTML style codes.
Meanwhile, I am engrossed in the subject matter, and this work is neither contracted nor hourly. It's Christmas Eve, and I'm posting anyhow.
Major lesson? Want justice? It has to be economic justice, and through self-education (that means, put one's time into something else), unless the country gets out of the business of war, which basically causes business contracting with the US Government to wage it, which then with this wealth (and while soldiers die on both side, and landscapes are blown up, new drugs are used for warfare and then to repair the injuries and trauma from war) foundations enable the wealth from war to be used for PR and — as it actually turned out, probably, in this case — a certain foundation wants the nation to function differently, which it has been. (Oh, the benefits of Billionaire BIG).
Also whatever illness one of the fortune-family's kids have, that's the disease that gets the research for the cure (how about healthier lifestyles and less poisoned food supplies, and fewer drugs for us all?)
Generation IV of the exact same heir's name, ALL of them knowing they have enough wealth to throw it around and make the rules, is behaving badly, pays off the ABA to set up a center to create Unified Family Courts (including this one in Baltimore), the ABA keeps up the good work, and eventually a judge concedes. [Read the whole article for another take on how wealth is acquired; the word "strangulation" was used in this one, coercion, under duress signing over businesses one helped develop, etc.] Bullies into Healthcare, Health Research and Family Justice….
The wealth has also probably affected the family line, which contains a number of high-profile (that's the level they exist at) celebrity disasters, reported in 2010 when one of the daughters died of drug overdose in squalid conditions. Family members cut themselves in or out of the business, or wealth, affecting future generations of their own, only larger-league.
The courts also order families into therapy they don't need; sometimes involving drugs (i.e. anti-psychotics). The foundation just so happened to be a major pharmaceutical, one of the world's largest. And from 1988ff a major contributor to Republican party, causes, and candidates, particularly future President Bush.
And we expect JUSTICE from this model?…Merry Christmas indeed, and for my NEXT Christmas, I'd like a website with an embedded style chart I don't have to do manually, my children to understand some of these truths, AND I'd like to see them again too, would be nice…. might even re-instated the practice of observing or participating in holidays, MAYBE. If you're not up for the narratives, just look at the links….
Outstanding in their Field. Now, about that Field… (Fatherhood Grantees/Practitioners)
Again, I am only sampling a field that was sent in place decades ago, has major foundations supporting it (one should ask WHY) as well as the many resources of the HHS, and the "yeah, man — right up our alley!" of one too many tax-exempt religious foundations. Or, as you will, faith-based.
TAGGS.hhs.gov on this group (I searched by its EIN# — which is below).

Before we get too far into the economics of this field, I'd like to post a sample of what some of the DYNAMICS of it are about. This 2001 Appeal is interesting because it incorporates how the court responds to evidence of injuring a child on visitation and severe violence (breaking a woman's sternum and grabbing her by the throat) — that woman being the 2nd wife // stepmother — and because the man in question is on the board of (another — not the above) Fathers' rights group based in WDC (ACFC). This is one child — a girl, born in 1989 (divorce, 1991, first evidence of post-separation bruising of the girl, ca. 1996) and it covered two states, Michigan and Louisiana. It's a short-double-spaced read, and I hope you do. Because at least in part — no offence to non-abusive Dads — this is also what the "FR' movement is about — that FR are FR even when these things happen:
Lauren Hollingsworth v. James Semerad,
Appeal from 3rd Judicial District Court, Parish of Lincoln, Louisiana Trial Court No. 43,428~ Honorable R. Wayne Smith, Judge.
(Dad, see very far below same photo, looks like a very upstanding man):
Similar personnel to the ACFC group (far below) found on this one also: Baskerville, Semerad, Mike McManus (who wants to do away with no-fault divorce), etc. Click on link:
Dads of Michigan Related site, it says (read to see the spheres of influence involved & connection with another WDC organization, "ACFC"):
Rebuilding heterosexual marriage as the social norm is the necessary structural foundation for successful American socioeconomic reconstruction.
Among this testimony we can see both parents being court-ordered to attend a class, one of the (3) experts calling "parental alienation" but the testimony of the others (who felt the child to be credible, and not coached, esp. with the bruises) were concerned. Moreover, it appears that the same father had literally broken the stepmom's sternum and grabbed her throat' they were divorcing. he lied under oath about that event and had a new girlfriend to whom apparently the daughter was exposed. It appears that the court's response is simply to adjust the supervised visitation, not terminate it! This Appeal in question comes fully 10 years after their divorce. Get the picture?
Seriously, it's a short read and covers many typical issues in family court these days in a case which divorce pre-dated welfare reform but still had the PAS charge…

Islamophobia to blame
Turkish prime minister Ahmet Davutoglu was among those marching in Paris on Sunday, but the next day Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a press conference that the wrong people were being blamed, reports the Financial Times. "The duplicity of the West is obvious. As Muslims we have never sided with terror or massacres: racism, hate speech, Islamophobia is behind these massacres," he told reporters. "The culprits are clear: French citizens undertook this massacre and Muslims were blamed for it."
Israel behind the massacres
Still in Turkey and Melih Gokcek, the mayor of Ankara, had a different theory. He claimed that Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, was "definitely behind such incidents" in an effort to "boost enmity towards Islam".

the next Trek TV series preview discussion
It could be 2-4 years from now but let's discuss the ways in which CBS would produce or license the show to a cable TV channel
specifically how it would be previewed and promoted.
I have brought up
the 2007 digital cinema screening of
The Menagerie
TOS-R episode
to build buzz on the remastering of TOS when it came out on the HD-DVD format.

Spring the TV series

For the first time anyone in TV circles can recall, a network is using a pilot for a show not as the beginning of a series, but as the start of a marketing campaign.
Now Feb.20, 2012
TG Daily mentions
In anticipation of the March 1st premier of
, NBC has posted the entire pilot on YouTube.
It's only 10 days before
is on NBC but it is a promotional push of the first episode.
Since it takes such a large amount of money to build a Trek ship's set and costumes and an ensemble cast and a pilot is made a couple of months before it airs do you think it will get special digital cinema screening for a weekend or some big way for Trekkies to see it?
or like the
pilot screening do you think they would plan it a year in advance to produce the pilot and have a special screening to get feedback from fans before moving forward?
How do you think the next Trek TV series will specifically
get promoted

Looks are only the beginning.
by Albert Hall
Base Price (MSRP) $16,000
As Tested (MSRP) $20,590
There's nothing on the road quite like Chrysler's new PT Cruiser, and that's a big part of its fun. Is it a hot rod, a little panel van or a uniquely styled compact car? People from all walks and stations want a better look, intrigued by the Cruiser's difficult-to-define character.
Yet the really great thing about the PT Cruiser is its combination of practicality and a reasonable price. Chrysler turned the automotive industry on its ear when it launched the Dodge Viper and Plymouth Prowler. Those cars showcased Chrysler's design trends. Viper and Prowler are great cars for serious enthusiasts who don't mind making a few sacrifices in terms of comfort and convenience. But, in a way, the PT Cruiser is even more exciting because it's a real car suitable for everyday use by everyday people. It's almost as much fun to drive as it is to be seen in, and it has more people and cargo hauling flexibility than the typical sport-utility vehicle, in a surprisingly compact, economical package.
Over the next year or two, the PT Cruiser may change what the world expects from a small car.
Model Lineup
Buyers can choose between two well-quipped variants of the PT Cruiser. At $16,000, the base car has power windows, air conditioning, rear defroster and wiper, six-speaker AM-FM cassette and 15-inch wheels. The high-trim $19,995 Limited Edition comes with just about everything, including leather upholstery, side-impact airbags, glass sunroof and chromed 16-inch alloy wheels. Options available on the Limited Edition include ABS, automatic transmission, 16-inch painted aluminum wheels (in place of chrome), engine block heater, CD changer and a roof rack. Several option packages can tailor the base car to a buyer's tastes or needs without reaching $20,000. (Prices include destination charge.)
The PT Cruiser blends the retro look of a late-1930's American sedan with new-age styling cues like dual-beam flush headlights and bullet-shaped taillight lenses. When it comes to automotive styling, however, pictures speak louder than words. Take a long look and make your own call. If the PT Cruiser's styling intrigues you, you'll likely find plenty underneath to keep your attention.
By exterior dimensions, the PT Cruiser is quite compact; it's nearly 6 inches shorter than a Neon. Yet with 63 inches from pavement to the highest point of its roof, the Cruiser is also 7 inches taller than a Neon, and nearly as tall as some minivans. That height is a crucial element of the PT Cruiser's design.
The PT Cruiser has a thorough complement of safety features for a sub-$20,000 car. Front passenger side-impact airbags are standard on the Limited Edition and optional on the base car. The rear seat's center position has a three-point safety harness. The front belts have pyrotechnically charged tensioners, just like luxury cars, to keep the belts tight during an impact. The rear bench is equipped with child-seat tethers.
Interior Features
Inside, the Cruiser's T-shaped symmetrical dashboard uses painted inserts to pull exterior styling themes into the cabin. The instrument panel is clean, functional and aesthetically pleasing. The driver faces three white-faced gauges set in individual cylinders, with speedometer center, tachometer right and fuel and water temperature left. Switches are concentrated in the center panel, with radial-type climate control dials and a single pair of buttons for the front windows. The door levers have a nice action and the switches operate with good tactile feel -- not world class, but a noticeable improvement over Chrysler's sloppy mid-'90s standard.
The same improvement applies to the interior finish. The leather package, in particular, has a rich appearance, given the Cruiser's price, with suede inserts in the doors and along the lower cushion edges.
The front seats have a reasonable amount of bolster to keep driver and passenger from sliding side to side. Perhaps more important, the seating position is upright, with a fairly high, commanding view ahead, much like a sport-utility vehicle or minivan. And with 120.2 cubic feet of interior volume, there's no premium on space in the PT Cruiser. The government's standard for defining a large car, like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Lincoln Town Car, is 120 cubic feet.
All that space is largely a function of the Cruiser's height. Its roof rises toward the rear, and its rear seat bottoms are higher than those in front are. The front seats are mounted on tall boxes, leaving plenty of room for rear passengers to stretch their legs underneath. An auto critic who stands six feet-nine-inches tall fit comfortably front or rear, in his preferred upright seating position.
Chrysler claims the PT Cruiser's cabin can be configured 26 different ways. We didn't count, but there are clearly a lot of options. This flexibility stems from three features: a 65/35 split rear bench that can be folded flat, tumbled forward or removed, a movable parcel shelf, and an available front passenger seat that folds flat. The rear seats are anchored with quick-release attachments, and fitted with suitcase-style handles for lifting and steel wheels for rolling. The smaller section weighs 35 pounds, and the larger, 65. The load floor measures 40 inches between the wheel wells. The rear cabin has lots of tie-downs, including a pair on the center pillars that can be used with various seat configurations.
The parcel shelf and front passenger seat increase hauling options. The shelf can be positioned at the top of the rear seatbacks for a standard privacy cover over the cargo hold. It can be lowered to a level that creates a flat floor when the rear seat backs are folded forward. In can be installed vertically across the width of the cabin to divide the cargo hold, or hung out of the tailgate as a small table. It can also be turned over so its hard-plastic underside acts like a large tray, containing drops from dripping paint cans or mud from work boots.
With the front passenger seatback folded flat onto the bottom cushion, there's a table next to the driver and in front of the rear passengers. Even better, there can be more than 8 feet of flat surface between the dashboard and the tailgate. So the Cruiser can accommodate a tall stepladder or a load of two-by-fours within its cabin.
Driving Impressions
Whatever it's hauling, the PT Cruiser can go enthusiastically. It weighs 3123 pounds with the manual transmission, meaning each of its 150 horsepower pulls roughly 21 pounds of iron. That's a better power-to-weight ratio than a VW Golf, a four-cylinder Honda Accord or the typical minivan, yet a poorer one than sportier cars like the Golf GTI GLX or Honda Prelude. The power-to-weight ratio provides a good indicator of where the PT Cruiser fits in the performance spectrum.
Wedged tightly between the Cruiser's stepped fenders and under its tapering hood is a 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine with twin overhead cams. Big four-cylinder engines have a natural tendency to idle roughly, so Chrysler uses a counter-rotating balance shaft to smooth things out. The 2.4 happens to be the base engine in Chrysler's minivans; for the Cruiser, improvements were geared toward reducing noise and vibration rather than increasing power. Peak horsepower remains at 150, with 162 foot-pounds of torque. The PT Cruiser offers both a five-speed manual and four-speed automatic transmission.
With manual transmission, the Cruiser will travel from zero to 60 mph in about 8.5 seconds, and that's more than respectable for a $16,000 car. The shifter is surprisingly precise; it's not sports-car grade, but not bad for a longer-throw gate with a lever that's a foot long. Working the gears to get the most from the engine is a pleasant proposition in nearly all circumstances.
The automatic isn't as effective as the five-speed at getting the Cruiser cruising, because the 2.4's power is biased toward higher rpm. On the other hand, there are four gears in the automatic, and kickdown shifts come fairly quickly. With properly timed dips of the accelerator, there's enough torque for safe, clean overtaking on two-lane roads.
The Cruiser handles more like a sedan than a minivan. It will hustle with good composure and reasonable verve. Body lean is well controlled. By design, the Cruiser understeers moderately, a push that warns a driver to slow down through curves. The Cruiser's strut-type independent front suspension is similar to the Neon's. Its rear suspension design maximizes cargo space, but the solid rear axle bounces a bit on rough pavement. Overall, however, Chrysler's suspension engineers have delivered a good balance of handling and a comfortable ride.
They've also done a fine job of masking the Cruiser's height. Only in quick, hard, slalom-type maneuvers does the PT Cruiser start get top heavy. You can almost feel the high mass of the car try to continue in one direction as the front wheels turn in the other. Yet most drivers will never drive hard enough to notice. And in sudden, emergency-type lane changes, the PT Cruiser is more composed than the typical sport-utility or minivan. At speeds beyond legal Interstate limits, the Cruiser is stable, and not particularly susceptible to cross winds.
A lack of noise may be the most impressive, or surprising, of all the PT Cruiser's qualities. There is little wind noise, almost no tire or road noise, and just an audible whine from the drivetrain. It has better noise, vibration and harshness control than Chrysler products of the mid- to late 1990s have conditioned us to expect.
Front disc and rear drum brakes are standard. A better plan is to order the optional anti-lock brake system, which comes with four-wheel discs and low-speed electronic traction control.
The PT Cruiser is no boy racer, nor even a hotrod in the mold of cars that inspired its styling. The Cruiser is, however, a car that turns heads with its looks. It delivers exceptional functionality for its size, and it won't wilt during an enthusiastic drive.
Final Word
The PT Cruiser should appeal to all types of buyers, from active singles to young couples with children. It represents a good value unless demand is such that dealers pack the sticker. Then there's the look, unique among current production cars. What if the novelty of the Cruiser's styling wears off after a year or two? We're still left with a car that's enjoyable to drive and well suited for whatever most buyers will ask of an automobile.
Think about what the PT Cruiser offers, and some other very good small cars start to look somewhat limited.

Forced marriage
London 2012: Here come the girls
"You can say it's like an Arab Spring for women," says Yobes Ondieki, a Kenyan former World Champion runner, ahead of the London Olympics. After losing out to Ethiopia in the 2004 medal tables, Kenyan officials realised the winning formula was staring them in the face: the majority of Ethiopian medals at Athens were won by women.

We offer two different Summer Programs for studying in Japan:
- Summer Semester
- Summer Short Term
These Summer programs offer opportunities for proficiency in Japanese in an intense summer season. Each program provides time to broaden your experience in Japan's culture with excursions to cultural spots, museums, palaces, theaters, and businesses. Summer study is a great way to jump-start your Japanese skills and context.
Summer is the height of festival season–and the Japanese love their festivals. It's an exciting time to be in Japan.
Summer Semester in Tokyo: something to remember
The summer semester program is a total immersion intensive Japanese language course of the same duration as a semester, yet it's just short enough to fit into the summer of an academic year. The language course is offered at 6 levels with special emphasis placed on balanced language education that stresses the 4 most important communication skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Summer short-term in Tokyo: jump-start your Japanese.
Drench yourself in Japan for 8 exciting weeks of nonstop immersion. Take class in the direct method—entirely in Japanese. Outside of class, you can speak Japanese in your everyday interactions, good times, and jaunts to more of Japan. Dormitory or homestay lodging is available. Both students and recent college graduates enthusiastically favor summer short-term because it is
(1) synched with your university academic schedule
(2) at the height of festival season
(3) an amazing deal: very reasonable cost.
The KCP summer short-term program gets results: you'll come back with the equivalent of a year's Japanese language (over 160 hours) under your belt, for academic credit. So, gear up for the intensity by learning your basic kana. Each day, expect 4 hours of class time and 2 to 4 study hours. That still leaves lots of time for strolling around the city—or taking the mighty train system—on your own sprees and trips led by KCP staff.
Plenty of language help is available, in English if needed. KCP teachers, highly praised for their skill and dedication, sincerely care about your success. The balanced curriculum includes language instruction, exciting excursions, and cultural activities, all at a lower cost.
Some regional trips are part of the summer short-term program; once you learn the ropes, take a few trip-lets of your own. The equally praised support staff can help you meet your extracurricular goals, whether to see a sumo match, visit Enoshima Island, or take a few lessons in traditional music.
Saitou-sensei is an amazing teacher. Not only is he extremely open with the students, but he brings a wonderful energy to the classroom. He makes us comfortable and compliments us when we improve. Every class I had with Saitou-sensei was, frankly, awesome.
—Valerie Taylor

text: The question reads.... A heat pump is a refrigerator that uses the inside of a building as a hot-temp reservoir in the winter and the outside of the building as a hot-temp reservoir in the summer. So..... For a carnot refrigerator engine operating between 25C and 40C in the summer, what is the coefficient of performance?And, for each joule of heat trasnfer from the cooler reservoir per cycle, how many joules of work are done by the refrigerator engine? Is this work positive or negative....and, what additional information is needed to determine an appropriate heat pump for a building? Ok, so I figured out the COP.... COP=1/ [(Th/Tc)-1] COP=1/ [(313k/298K)-1] COP=19.9 But thenn I get confused on the second part I know that COP=Qc/W W=Qc/COP so is the value for Qc just 1 J? THat is the part i am having trouble with, and the work is negative correct? because it is work done by the system? And, any thouhts on the last part?

We are initiating coverage on the gold sector and on African Barrick Gold ('Neutral', 480p price target), Centamin (Neutral', 77p price target), Randgold Resources ('Outperform', 8340p price target) and Yamana Gold ('Outperform', 1382p price target).
Although some gold equities have already started to move, the group is still inexpensive: the HUI/gold ratio is one standard deviation below its 15-year mean – typically an excellent buying signal.
We think gold is likely to move higher over the next few years on continued inflation fears, negative real interest rates and geopolitical tensions. The recent abatement of euro-zone panic, in conjunction with dovish announcements by the Federal Reserve on QE3 and the re-election of President Obama have, in our view, removed a great deal of the uncertainty that has kept a lid on gold and gold equities over the past 12-18 months.
In our twin report ("Gold fundamentals and the Davy gold regression model"), also issued this morning, we note that our positive view on gold is likely shared by many gold market observers, especially following the QE3 announcement. In order to test our theory and add more rigour to our view, we constructed the Davy Gold Regression Model (DGRM). Drawing on ten key macro-economic forecasts (from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, Oxford Economics and EIA), DGRM predicts higher near-term gold prices, with projections of US$2008/oz by mid-2013E.
We recommend buying a basket of select gold equities on seasonal strength in the gold price and the approaching US debt ceiling/fiscal cliff negotiations. Our top pick is Randgold Resources followed by Yamana Gold.

I will also check out ADFS - if it's more efficient and makes my life easier
it's definitely worth looking into.
My only concern in this scenario is requiring partners to implement it,
especially those on a different web server platform (Linux, etc.). But I
will take a look.
Thanks again-

Yes, you can do that. Essentially, a MAC is a hash of some data that has
been encrypted with a shared key. To verify the MAC, the "other side"
decrypts the encrypted hash and then recalculates the hash of the data
that was provided (the username). If the hashes match, then the data has
not been tampered with.
A digital signature is very similar technologically except that it uses an
asymmetric key pair and generally includes a certificate of some sort so
that you can verify the identity of the private key holder. The verifier
only has the public key (from the certificate), so they cannot actually
generate the signature themselves, only verify.
The .NET Framework has some nice support for MACs (check out the various
HMAC classes).
You could pass the MAC as a second query string parameter. It is
generally a blob of arbitrary binary, so you may need to base64 encode it.
The main gotcha is that encryption and hashes are performed on binary
data, not strings. Strings exist as binary when they have been converted
to binary by a specific binary encoding. Thus, you need to use the same
encoding on both ends. Usually, you just want to use UTF8 to convert
string -> binary. You also need to be careful about any potential URL
canonicalization issues (url encoding, weird unicode sequences, etc.).
That can be a little tricky. However, an 80% solution is probably easily
I still think you should use ADFS for this and not invent your own
protocol, but suit yourself. :)

Thanks Joe,
I'm not familiar with MACs or digital signatures, but I definitely want
to know that the request is coming from a trusted source.
How would the MAC or signature be transmitted to my site?
Would it be acceptable to have the partner encrypt the MAC with the
symmetric key and send it in the querystring as well?
"Joe Kaplan" <joseph.e.kaplan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message
You are trying to create the equivalent of a federated identity
management using a custom protocol of your own design. You would be
much more well suited using one of the standards-based protocols for
implementing federated identity such as WS-Federation or SAML 2.0.
WS-Federation is the protocol used by Microsoft's ADFS system and is
what I would recommend here. However, it does place demands on your
partners to implement ADFS on their side as well.
ADFS does give you a secure, standards-based way of transferring
identity between partner organizations though with a lot more
flexibility than the system you have suggested.
That said, encryption isn't really as important here as tamper
resistance. Essentially, your key goal is to ensure that an end user
can't just type whatever they want for the user name. You want to
ensure that the value was generated by something you trust.
You generally do this with a digital signature or message authentication
code (MAC). They are similar, but signatures typically use
public/private keys where as MACs use symmetric keys. Symmetric crypto
is usually easier to code than asymmetric, but the down side is that you
need to exchange a symmetric key.
Note that if you want any of this to be secure, you need to combine this
with SSL. Whether or not you encrypt or sign the value representing the
username, if someone else can see the query string, they can steal it
and impersonate the user.

OK, go easy, I'm a crypto-newbie, and also not sure if this is the
right group for this posting.
Here's the scenario:
I have a web site and want business partners to be able to link to my
web site from theirs, so I provide them the html syntax they can put on
their site to link to an .aspx page on mine.
If a user is signed on their site, I want that user to be signed on on
my site, so these corporate partners also have the option of sending
additional information in the querystring of this link that relays
information about the user currently logged in at their site (user id,
name, etc.).
e.g. href='http://www.abc.com/target.aspx?id=123456&username=jason'
I want this information to be encrypted so it is secure
e.g. href='http://www.abc.com/target.aspx?id=h5gv2k&username=e6fy1'
When my target.aspx page gets the request, I can look for the
querystring parameters (username, id, etc.), decrypt the values, and
take some action.
Here's my approach:
After doing some reading, it seems like public-key encryption is the
way to go. I would provide a public key for each corporate partner to
use for encrypting these values, and retain a private key for each
partner that I could use to decrypt the data in the code behind my
target.aspx page.
To do this, I'd use either the DSACryptoServiceProvider class or the
RSACryptoServiceProvider class.
So I have some questions:
1. Will my corporate partners be able to encrypt their data using the
RSA (or DSA) library of their choosing?
2. Must they use the same certain version to encrypt the text as I'll
be using to decrypt the text? A platform-specific version?
3. Which of these is the better choice?
4. Any gotchas I should be aware of (certificates that need to be
installed on the server, etc.)?
and finally, to keep an open mind,
5. Is there a better way to solve this need?

2003 Dodge Ram • 113,000 miles
My problems began when I jumped a buddies e350Ford when cables were still attached he started his truck revving his motor and my volt meter went crazy.I jumped out and disconnected jumper cables. Within a week alternator went bad.I replaced alternator and battery and the truck has never been the same.I am original owner the volt gauge has always been above half to half under full load(air cond. Ligjts. Etc).I have since replaced alternator agin and same results. Dashbiard lights dim. All lights dim and volt gauge is way below half at full stop. Then accelerate and comes back to half on gauge and everything brightens again.I have had battery and alternator tested. They tell me they are good.I understand their is an internal pcm regulator. Not sure how to test. Now new issue. Slight rough idle and pcm code 357. Votage probem coil #7.I ohm meter tested the coil with a couple of the other coils and seem to get same reading so I don't think its the coil. Bad pcm. Please help. Thank 2003 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi 4x4.
For the alternator check the fusible link and fuse where pointed out in pic. One may have blown internal regulators when an alternator is tested means they are ok too. By chance the blown fuse or link may fix both your problems buti'm sending two pics along on how to test for 357.

Thanks for quick response.I really appreciate your help. Fuses all check fine. How do I know fuseible link is bad.I have 12 volts at alternator with truck off. Doesn't that elimate link? Or is there something I am missing. Thanks I really miss my truck.I will check coil tomorrow thanks for schematics. Got off work late.
You should have the same voltage at blk/gray wire at fuse 19 an fusible link on alternator end. If that's ok then it will have to be scanned to try to find problem. It may be a module. Also check your grunds for cleanliness they are shown in drawing.

Scott and Binh's
A a solid, home-cooked meal in District 7
What we say:
While you won't struggle to find delicious, Vietnamese food every which way you turn in HCMC, a prolonged trip on the road can make you miss a solid, home-cooked meal. If you have a craving for Western cuisine, take a trip out of District 1 to Scott and Binh's in District 7.
Sharing the streetfront with the Bizu Boutique Hotel, from the outside Scott and Binh's won't jump out, with just a simple patio seating area. Inside, tables are white with purple upholstered seating that adds to the down-home atmosphere this joint has when it's full of customers. It kind of feels like eating in a hometown diner, where everybody seems to vaguely know each other and, if you eat there often enough, they'll know you too.
Scott and Binh's sports a beefy menu, filled with a wide range of Western dishes. You'll see standards like pastas, salads and sandwiches but also see some dishes that have worked in a unique bit of Asian fusion, like their delicious kimchi mashed potatoes.
Portion sizes compared to other Saigon restaurants are on the ridiculously large side. If you order nachos, you're getting a mound packed so high with toppings that you can barely see the chips; their royale with cheese burger is a two-pattied monster. I consider myself to be a bit of a burger aficionado and, outside of the giant family-sized burger at Black Cat, this is the only burger in town that makes me take leftovers home. And the food tastes great as well. Vegetables are fresh, the meat is juicy and tender and their bread is delivered daily.
Scott and Binh's is open for dinner only Tuesdays to Sundays, plus on weekends they add a brunch service, which comes with a separate menu consisting of Western-style breakfasts — go for any of the scrambles. Prices are high for the average Saigon restaurant but still cheaper than most of the city's "high-end" establishments, like Restaurant Bobby Chinn or Xu. Expect main courses to start around 150,000 VND with appetisers and cocktails starting at around 75,000 VND.
While the menu is thick, and the food tasty, what really makes Scott and Binh's stand out is Scott himself. An American chef who has a long history in the hospitality industry, Scott does a great job of greeting at the door and strolling the restaurant's grounds making sure you're well taken care of. Always eager to talk, sometimes you might feel more like a dinner guest instead of a customer.
Be warned that the restaurant can be a bit of drive out of downtown and a tad tricky to find if you're new to the area, as it calls a quiet, off-the-main-drag street in District 7 home. From Nguyen Van Linh, District 7's main road, just turn onto Bui Bang Doan and take a right on Cao Trieu Phat.
Scott and Binh's isn't a huge place — you might go so far as to call it cosy — with seating for only a few dozen. Typically this wouldn't be much of a problem but as Scott and Binh's reputation has grown, so has their customer base so it's best to call and reserve a table.
Contact details15-17 Cao Trieu Phat, District 7, Ho Chi MInh City
Open: Open Tuesday to Friday, 16:00-23:00, Saturday 11:00-15:00, 16:00-23:00, Sunday 11:00-15:00, 16:00-20

My summary of art 2014!!!!
2014 was an interesting year. Twas my second year of uni and I had to make at least 6 games mostly on my own. No teams this year. I wasted far more time than I'd like to admit trying to figure out what was wrong with my programming and how to fix said problems and ended up lacking many of the asset's I wanted to implement however I made a game that I'm going to attempt to continue working on for at least a while which relates to November and Decembers drawings. Full details on that and development can be seen here mewhalla.tumblr.com/
So, in summary 2014 was a fantastic year where I really did get to challenge myself and I feel that I improved my art allot (or at least my knowledge of) I hope 2015 is just as usefull and we shall see what my art looks like when I graduate
