Sandy Folzer, a retired professor in Philadelphia, said she worries about oil cars travelling alongside commuter rails.
"During rush hour, I imagine there are a couple hundred people on each train," Folzer said. "That scares me, that there's explosive material so close to where commuters are."
Proposals to route trains away from population centers are modeled on rules adopted after the 2001 terrorist attacks to restrict cargoes even more hazardous than oil — explosives, radioactive material and poisonous gases.
When the rules were being written, California regulators pushed their federal counterparts to include oil. But Transportation Department officials said they were "not persuaded."
Federal safety officials say it's time to reverse that decision, given the huge growth in tank cars carrying crude and ethanol, another flammable liquid involved in recent derailments and explosions.
The rules gave railroads broad discretion, and routing decisions are not automatically reviewed by regulators. But the Federal Railroad Administration is authorized to reject any routes found to be too risky. That has never happened since the rules took effect, said FRA Associate Administrator Kevin Thompson.
Even where trains can be re-routed through less-populous areas, critics say that simply shifts the risk to smaller communities with fewer resources to handle a fiery accident. Rural and suburban municipalities in Maine, Illinois and Vermont already have pushed back against the proposal.
In Hartford, Vt., Town Manager Hunter Rieseberg said it was "a fantasy" to think that moving hazardous shipments through rural areas would resolve safety problems.
John Hanger is former Pennsylvania secretary of environmental protection and now a Democratic candidate for governor calling for safer crude transportation. He's critical of regulators for suggesting that "lives are more precious in urban areas because there are more people there. That's an ethical, moral calculation that has to be avoided at all costs."
The routing rules in place for other hazardous materials list 27 factors to consider, including shipment volumes, nearby population densities and proximity to "iconic targets" or environmentally sensitive areas.
Rail companies weigh whether routes are "practicable" and consider economic impacts such as rail network congestion. While that can involve trade-offs, transportation consultant Steven Ditmeyer said railroads have made huge strides since the industry was deregulated in 1980.
"You cannot avoid the economic issues," said Ditmeyer, an adjunct professor at Michigan State University. "Because the risk is so high, the railroads do have an incentive to run a safe railroad."
But pointing to Lac-Megantic, he said, "sometimes they screw up."

Thin film coatings characterized by high resistance to abrasion and fracture may be formed by using using microscale composite particles in a plasma spraying process. A spherical particle typically consists of a ceramic core, such as tungsten carbide (WC), and a metallic shell, such as cobalt (Co). The ceramic provides the thin film coating with its desired hardness at elevated temperatures, while the metal serves to coalesce the particles on the coated surface and to inhibit crack formation. In the plasma spraying process, the particles are injected into a plasma gas jet that heats them to a temperature above the melting point of the metallic casing and melts the casing before the particles impact the surface. Consider spherical particles comprised of a WC core of diameter 15 micron, which is encased in a Co shell of outer diameter 20 micron. If the particles flow in a plasma gas at 9,500 K and the coefficient associated with convection from the gas to the particles is 13,500 W/m2*K, how long does it take to heat the particles from an initial temperature of 301 K to the melting point of cobalt, Tmp = 1770 K? The density and specific heat of WC (the core of the particle) are density = 16,000 kg/m3 and Cwc = 300 J/kg*K. Once having reached the melting point, how much additional time is required to completely melt the cobalt if its latent heat of fusion is Hsf = 259 kJ/kg? You may use the lumped capacitance method of analysis and neglect radiation exchange between the particle and its surroundings. Cobalt: density = 8900 kg/m3, Cc = 750 J/kg*K.

Successful transfer window?
Kelly's return is pretty important. That long term injury has made him a bit of a forgotten man. Let's hope he can get up to speed nice and quick and there's no recurrences etc.
Overall Sturridge has so far proved to be a successful buy. In comparison QPR paid £12.5 for Samba. hmmm. We'll see how Coutinho goes.
I'm encouraged by the fact tha when you step back and look at the squad overall it has a completely different look and feel to the one we had at the back end of last season. Last season it was disjointed, bloated and just wasn't right at all. Now we have players that more directly suit what Rodgers want to do, they're in the majority very young (which may or may not prove to be an issue ref Oldham!), it has pace and you ca see what's going on. There's a plan and direction. We're still short, make no bones about it. A good left back, a growing goal keeper issue and I still think we need something a bit special in the middle.
I'm also encourage to see that a few of the so called players that were easy picks to be moved on are all of a sudden making valid cases for Rodgers to have second thoughts.
Hopefully, we can turn this into results now. We still haven't beaten anyone in the top 10 and I think that improvement on our current postion will rely on that fact changingSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Noo NOO ...Have to agree with u. Want to see a major MONSTER in the middle of the back line an old fashioned big hardman centrehalf totally dominant in the air with some real mobility on ground too not a carthorse that requires half the pitch to turn around. I think Kelly's ret. could prove critical and like u hope their is no recurrence of the problem thats kept him out so long. If Lucas continues to regain confidence I think we will soon see the player he was before this bad injury took him out. I would really like to see another WORLD CLASS striker added to the books as we are only one injury away from the same old crisis up front...and yes of course Pepe must be down the road end of season to Barca and hopefully we can get somebody in inspires confidence in our defenders. All this is going to take a bit of coin on the table from the owners and I spose it depends if they have the nerve or indeed the money to bring in whats required to flesh out this squad and have a serious shot next season at... THE TITLE ?

Actor Ajay Devgn will be seen speaking in five languages in his forthcoming movie "Himmatwala (2013)".
The actor will speak the five languages during an action scene in the remake film of 1983 blockbuster of the same name.
"In the film, five goons from five different states come to beat Ajay, and all of them speak a dialogue. After bashing them up, Ajay repeats their dialogues in their language. I have kept subtitles so that people can understand it," Sajid Khan, director of the film, said in a group interview.
"I wrote the lines in English and Ajay mugged it up like a parrot and delivered it," said Sajid and added that while dubbing he took his assistants' help.
"We got in two-three different people like one of my assistants speaks Punjabi, one is a Tamil and one is a Bengali - they helped him (Ajay) with correct pronunciation. They are proper dialogues," he added.
For Sajid, who has given blockbusters like "Heyy Babyy", "Housefull" and "Housefull 2" in the past, there is a reason for adding so many languages in the movie.
"I believe in Manmohan Desai school, his kind of masala," he said and added that he grew up in a multi-cultural environment.
"I am a Muslim, my mom is a Parsi, I went to Gujarati school, I grew up with Maharashtrian friends and my neighbours were Bengali, Sindhi, Punjabi, Sardar and Catholic. So we could talk in other languages. And that is the reason I keep colloquial language in my films," he said.
"Himmatwala" also stars southern actress Tammannah and is set to release March 29.

Breaking the ChainsWritten by on August 29, 2003 Bed Latches and Hinges That Make You Say WOW!
Tailgate chains are ugly, plain and simple. Sure they do the job for which they're intended, but it comes with a price. On an older truck, the areas that the hooks and chains come into contact with are almost guaranteed to be rusted and damaged thanks to years of chipped paint. And, unless you're hellbent on an exact restoration, we're betting you are looking for any excuse to get rid of those chains before you get started on that "spare-no-expense" paint job. Recently, we came across a kit from WOW Products that will eliminate those chains and clean up the rear of your ride significantly--all the while keeping your tailgate fully functional.
WOW Products offers a complete system to rebuild the mechanics of your stepside's tailgate. Their hidden tailgate hinges weld into the bottom roll of your tailgate to eliminate any hinges from the outside edge of your bed. The bed supports are made of polished stainless and billet and tuck nicely against the corner of the bed. The hidden latches utilize the top tube of the tailgate to house a retractable pin that locks solidly to the bedside. WOW's products weld in and feature a universal fit, so those of you with even the most obscure vehicle can take advantage of their products. Follow along as Chad and Brian from Barry White's Street Rod Repair Company make quick work of the cutting, grinding, and welding. Contact WOW Products for more information on their entire line of cool truck products.

The WOW Products hidden hinge, bed support, and latch kits are all pictured. They can be purchased as a combo or separately. We opted not to use the hidden hinges on this particular application, but we did a run-through of what it takes to install them, anyway.Here is the subject we will be working with. No, not Chad, but the bed Kevin recently picked up for his project truck. It's not pretty, but it's never been hit and cancer-free. Way to go Kev!Here's the area we're trying to improve upon. Even if we don't cap off the bedrails, removing the chains and latches will clean up the rear quarters of the stepside nicely.This small piece of angle iron is what attaches the tailgate hinge to the bed. Once welded and bodyworked, you will hardly know it was there.The center bushing comes with bronze inserts to ensure years of smooth operation. Once the other components are installed into the tailgate, this bushing is welded to the angle iron.But, first you must use it to determine where to make your cuts in the bottom tailgate roll. You must first measure the depth of the stock inner hinge sleeve, and then add an inch so there is ample clearance for the outer bushing.Next, you need to make a 1- x 2 1/4-inch (the dimensions of the inner bushing) rectangular cut into the tailgate roll. Then the outer bushings are welded flush with the cuts inside the roll. The threaded bushing goes toward the inside.
The first order of business was to get rid of the chains and latches. Brian cut and ground as necessary until we had a clean slate to work with. The two holes and notch will be filled later to completely smooth out the area.A pilot hole was drilled in the center of the top roll of the tailgate, which was then opened up to 1 inch with a hole saw so the latch barrel could slide in.With the barrel flush with the edge of the tailgate, we transferred the measurements of the cutout from the barrel to the tailgate.Then Brian ground out the area until it was a perfect oval. We then test-fitted the latch assembly and prepared the area for welding.
He finished welding the area up with a MIG welder, while we periodically blew off the area with air to help keep it cool.We test-fit the internals one more time. Then we added a couple dabs of high-quality grease and assembled the latch for good.The lever screws in from the outside and holds the inner bushing in place in front of the spring, while also acting as a set screw for the pin. With the area ground clean, it almost looks factory, no?The location of the pin in the tailgate is measured both vertically and horizontally and transferred to the bedside.With the hole drilled, the latch pin fell right into place. It can actually be adjusted back so it is more flush with the sheetmetal.
For the bottom end, WOW provides both a bolt-in and weld-in tab for the bed support to mount to. We chose the weld in because with the bolt in, the mounting bolts would be exposed on the outside of the tailgate. Once again, Chad showed off with the TIG.Finally, the billet and stainless bed support is mounted up. The top bolts from inside the stake pocket, while the bottom uses a lock pin through the mounting tab.

A bullock cart or ox cart is a two-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicle pulled by oxen (draught cattle). It is a means of transportation used since ancient times in many parts of the world. They are still used today where modern vehicles are too expensive or the infrastructure does not favor them.
Used especially for carrying goods, the bullock cart is pulled by one or several oxen (bullocks). The cart (also known as a jinker) is attached to a bullock team by a special chain attached to yokes, but a rope may also be used for one or two animals. The driver and any other passengers sit on the front of the cart, while load is placed in the back. Traditionally the cargo was usually agrarian goods and lumber.
In Costa Rica, ox carts (carretas in the Spanish language) were an important aspect of the daily life and commerce, especially between 1850 to 1935, developing a unique construction and decoration tradition that is still being developed. Costa Rican parades and traditional celebrations are not complete without a traditional ox cart parade.

...My tattoo thread.
I've decided I'm not getting the sprocket tattooed on my back, that instead is going on my calf. Instead I am getting a Japanese styled Koi on my back/side. I tried designing my own but I suck terribly at drawing and was wondering if some of you could help me out.
I want to keep it traditional, nothing flamboyant. Something like these:
I really like this one:
These are my attempts, and I am not happy with them in the slightest:
And finally, this is the plot of land I've scoped out for it, please note that extra 20 or so pounds of tactical padding along my mid section will be gone when spring hits and I can ride my bicycle again:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...e/100_0753.jpg Linked because it's kinda big.
So, what I am asking of you Foosters is that if somebody is artistically inclined could they please try designing me a tattoo, if I like it your work may just live on forever on my body.

South Africa: Nelson Mandela Deteriorating– in Critical Condition
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Nelson Mandela's health has deteriorated and he is now in critical condition, the South African government said Sunday.
The office of President Jacob Zuma said in a statement that he had visited the 94-year-old anti-apartheid leader at a hospital on Sunday evening and was informed by the medical team that Mandela's condition had become critical in the past 24 hours.
"The doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve and are ensuring that Madiba is well-looked after and is comfortable. He is in good hands," Zuma said in the statement, using Mandela's clan name.
Zuma also met Graca Machel, Mandela's wife, at the hospital and discussed the former leader's condition, according to the statement.
Mandela, who became South Africa's first Black president after the end of apartheid in 1994, was hospitalized on June 8 for what the government said was a recurring lung infection.
Zuma appealed to South Africans and the rest of the world to pray for Mandela, his family and the medical team that is attending to him.
Mandela was jailed for 27 years under White racist rule and was released in 1990. He then played a leading role in steering the divided country from the apartheid era to democracy, becoming South Africa's first Black president in all-race elections in 1994.
As a result of his sacrifice and peacemaking efforts, he is seen by many around the world as a symbol of reconciliation.

There are multiple possible approaches to dealing with focus shift. One solution is to avoid f/1.2 and f/1.4 lenses entirely; shoot an f/1.8 or f/2 lens instead! But beware, even f/2 lenses can have focus shift (eg the Leica 90/2 APO), and some f/1.2 and f/1.2 lenses do not!
Here are some options, none of which are entirely satisfactory.
Stop down — unfortunately, the entire zone of focus is shifted, and most of these lenses require f/8 or f/11 to regain "lost ground". If your zone of sharpness needs are precise, stopping down isn't much of a solution. Given the random variability of focus error, stopping down "kills two birds with one stone", improving the odds. But didn't you get that "fast" lens to shoot at wider apertures?

[[StalkerWithACrush Satsuki]] is always [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything using blow darts to try and knock Kagetora unconscious]].... * [[spoiler: {{Bodyguard Crush}}]]* BoundAndGagged: [[CuteClumsyGirl Yuki ends up binding herself]].* BrattyHalfPint: Natsume, a girl who always challenges Kagetora to fights and loves playing pranks. * BrutalHonesty: When Yuki gets angry with Kagetora she's [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend pretty blunt about their relationship]].* BuxomIsBetter: Yuki seems to be jealous of Sakuya's....assets. * CallingYourAttacks: '''Hurai style'''! + '''Attack name'''. *** Parodied when Kosuke actually does this. *** '''[[CrowningMomentOfFunny Hurai Style: Monkey Punch]]'''! * CantActPervertedTowardaLoveInterest: Kagetora resists acting on most of his thoughts about Yuki and usually makes them go away.** Or [[NonHumanSidekick Kosuke]] [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slaps]] [[CrowningMomentOfFunny them away]].* [[CantHoldHisLiquor Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Yuki can get drunk from the smallest amounts of alcohol. Kagetora on the other hand, averts this.* CensorSuds / Sensor Steam: The whole manga would end up being {{Seinen}} or {{Hentai}} without it, considering all the bathing scenes. * CharacterFocus: Akino gets a few and the same goes for Sakuya. * ChildhoodFriends: Kagetora and Yuki are this since they grew up in the same village. * ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Kagetora to Sakuya. * [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas Chapter]]* ClingyJealousGirl: Most of Kagetora's harem tend to get ''very'' jealous. Even [[spoiler: Yuki]] eventually becomes this, she even becomes a [[BrutalHonesty verbal]] [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend type B]] {{Tsundere}} because of this. * ClothingDamage: Happens when Sakuya's wind ninjutsu only cuts up bathing suit tops...* CluelessChickMagnet: '''Kagetora'''. Most of the time if a girl isn't flat out forward and confesses to him, he doesn't know her feelings. Possibly justified though, since he lived in a ninja village most of his life.* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Satsuki doesn't understand that Kagetora was calling Yuki a princess. * CreepyMonotone: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v02/c008/21.html Yuki apparently]] in one of her {{Tsundere}} moments. * CrushBlush: Happens ''very'' often to Kagetora towards Yuki.** Satsuki gets this when Kagetora is around. * CryCute: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c013/26.html Yuki]] [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c013/29.html Toudou]] [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c014/20.html very often]]. * CuteBruiser: Yuki and Kosuke. * CuteClumsyGirl: Yuki is the godess of this trope. * {{Dandere}}: Satsuki mistakes Kagetora of being this, when he rejects her. * {{Determinator}}: Most of the girls still don't give up on pursing Kagetora despite being turned down. * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The title of a [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas chapter]] is ''A Christmas Virgin''. It just so happens Yuki is also wearing a rather [[{{Fanservice}} revealing]] SexySantaDress. ** In one chapter Kagetora's shirt gets tea on it, and Satsuki tries to tear his shirt off, and what's Yuki's reaction? [-'''Yuki:''' Let me help! While pulling his shirt -] ** Also [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v01/c004/14.html Yuki's outfit]] looks rather soaked... ** [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v01/c001/40.html When they exercise together.]]* {{Dojikko}}: Yuki oh, so very much. * DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Akino often beats or attempts to heavily injure Kagetora multiple times. Kagetora simply runs or away or uses a {{Ninja Log}} to escape from her. * DrunkenMaster: '''Yuki''' The smallest bit of alcohol makes her this to the point that Kagetora has trouble restraining her. * EmotionSuppression: Most of the plot revolves around the fact that Kagetora tries '''very''' to [[IgnoreTheFanservice not look]] at Yuki, but sometimes he can't help it.* EmotionallyTongueTied: Kagetora tends to stutter fairly often when flustered. * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Yuki. Sakuya seems to enjoy poking her, and Akino's friendship towards her can come off [[LesYay as a crush]]. * EveryoneCanSeeIt: Nearly everyone can tell [[BadLiar Kagetora]] is in love with Yuki. The only problem is [[spoiler: [[ObliviousToLove Yuki]] doesn't know his feelings for her and he doesn't realise that she loves him]]. * {{Fanservice}}: A good amount from [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Yuki]], [[{{Tsundere}} Akino]], and [[BuxomIsBetter Sakuya]] thanks to lots of [[FuroScene indoor]] [[ButWaitTheresMore and]] [[HotSpringsEpisode outdoor]] [[PublicBathhouseScene bathing]] scenes. * FestivalEpisode* FriendVersusLover: Akino versus Kagetora. The fight is over Yuki. * FunSize* GenkiGirl: Yuki when she's not [[CryCute sad]].* [[BoyMeetsGirl Girl Meets Ninja]]* TheGlomp: In the first volume Kagetora does this to [[spoiler: Yuki]]. * GoThroughMe: The main reason [[{{Ojou}} Satsuki]] manages to hold off [[{{Ninja}} Sakuya]] is because of all her body guards protecting her.* HairAntennae: Sakuya has one. * HaremGenre: The series introduces a new girl that almost always falls in love with Kagetora every few chapters. * HaremHero: Kagetora is Type 2b especially when fighting for Yuki. * [[spoiler: HappilyMarried]]: [[spoiler: Yuki and Kagetora]].* HotTeacher: Kagetora to Yuki. ** In one chapter Yuki becomes this to Kagetora when she helps him study. * [[HotSpringsEpisode Hot Springs Chapter]] * IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Yuki to Kagetora [[MoeStare ''very'']] often.* ImTakingHimHomeWithMe: Satsuki does this to Kagetora. * IdiotsCannotCatchColds: [[DeadpanSnarker Kosuke]] claims Kagetora can't be sick because of this. * InnerMonologue: Kagetora has this but his thoughts are usually [[StealthHiBye interrupted by Yuki]]. * InnocentFanserviceGirl: Yuki accidentally gives MarshMallowHell to Kagetora and the same goes for Sakuya.*** Of course, Yuki's clumsiness usually results in her ending up BoundAndGagged or in some sort of [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything suggestive situation]]. * InstantSedation: When [[StalkerWithACrush Satsuki]] shoots a {{Tranquillizer Dart}} at Kagetora and misses, a male student is seen instantly unconscious. * [[LadyAndKnight Lady And Ninja]]: Yuki and Kagetora. * LampshadeHanging: [[SnarkyNonHumanSidekick Kosuke]] is a master at these.** [-'''Yuki''': You're [[ChickMagnet really popular]] aren't you, [[HaremHero Kagetora]]-]? ** [-'''Kagetora's monologue''': For some reason, [[{{Dojikko}} Hime]] is extraordinarily clumsy.-] * LeaveMeAlone: Yuki says this Kagetora when she wants to get stronger by herself. * LoveAtFirstSight: Reiziien to Kagetora. * LoverTugOfWar: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c014/10.html Sakuya and Satsuki do this]] multiple times. * LuminescentBlush: Kagetora, Yuki, and even [[DefrostingIceQueen Akino]] get these.** Satsuki is '''always''' [[CrushBlush blushing near Kagetora]]. * MadeASlave: Satsuki believes Kagetora is unable to even speak his mind in front of Yuki. She's wrong.* MaleGaze: Most of the {{Fanservice}} is targeted towards males, which reminds you it's actually considered {{Shounen}}. * MarshMallowHell: Yuki does this unintentionally to Kagetora.** Sakuya also does this, once again, not on purpose. * {{Meido}}: Yuki while cleaning Kagetora's house. * MistressAndServantBoy: Subverted. Most people in-universe mistake Yuki and Kagetora's relationship as this. * MoeStare: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c013/10.html Yuki's default facial expression]]. * MomentKiller: Satsuki. ** Virtually every time Yuki and Kagetora are together someone becomes this. * MsFanservice: [[{{Moe}} Yuki]], [[DefrostingIceQueen Akino]], and [[BuxomIsBetter Sakuya]] each supply a healthy dose of fanservice. ** Yuki's [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsiness]] is usually used for {{Fanservice}} like in [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c015/18.html the scene where she gets a goldfish stuck between her breasts]].* MundaneMadeAwesome: [[{{Ninja}} Sakuya]] decides to cut vegetables with a kunai. * NewYearSameClass: Played with. Although they do change class, the same characters are together. * {{Ninja}}* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Yuki gets ''very'' close to kagetora's face often. * NoGuyWantsToBeChased: As Kagetora puts it, "Instead of being liked, it's like I'm being hunted."* NonHumanSidekick: Kosuke is a monkey. * {{Nosebleed}}: Subverted ''very'' much. Since these are non existent in the manga the males end up [[LuminescentBlush blushing]] ''much more often than the girls''. * NotWhatItLooksLike: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v01/c001/40.html They're just sparring...seriously.]]* OhCrap: When Kagetora realizes [[spoiler: Kosuke bought a semi alcoholic drink and [[{{DrunkenMaster}} Yuki]] drank some]].** Also in the [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas chapter]] Yuki's face looks like this when [[spoiler: she thinks Kagetora wnet through all the trouble to get Sakuya a present]]. * ObliviousToLove: Yuki and Kagetora are this. It takes [[spoiler: practically the whole series for Yuki to realize Kagetora's feelings. Once she does it takes time for Kagetora to recognize her feelings.]]** In one chapter Kagetora simply [[spoiler: shrugs off Yuki's actions and attempts to rationalize them. As it turns out he was right. * {{Ojou}}: Satsuki has enough money to hire a butler, and bodyguards subverted with Yuki though. * OlderThanTheyLook: [[LampshadeHanging Yuki's age is questioned by Kagetora]], and even after the TimeSkip nearly ''every'' character becomes this since they look ''exactly'' the same. * {{Otaku}}: Issei is a ninja otaku. It's even [[LampshadeHanging said]] by Kagetora.** The scene that displays Issei's ninja tools says it all. * PatientChildhoodLoveInterest: Sakuya has been pretty much in love with Kagetora forever. * PervertRevengeMode: Akino to [[AccidentalPervert Kagetora]]. * PlayboyBunny: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v02/c008/18.html Both Yuki and Sakuya dress up as this]].* PoorCommunicationKills: Most of the plot is because Kagetora {{Cannot Spit It Out}} and [[spoiler: neither can Yuki]].* PrimalFear: Yuki is afraid of heights and Kagetora is ''very'' afraid of ghosts. * {{Qipao}}:[[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v02/c008/16.html Sakuya wears one]] in the [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas chapter]]. * ReluctantFanserviceGirl: Akino * RescueRomance: How Satsuki falls in love with Kagetora. * TheRival: [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c013/13.html Yuki and Satsuki have a rivalry]]. ** [[FriendVersusLover Kagetora and Akino]] also count. The same goes for Sakuya and Yuki. * RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Akino and Yuki's friendship can sometimes border {{Les Yay}} and Kagetora [[LampshadeHanging even points it out]] by saying; "Is this really just a sisterly thing?"* SantaClaus: Or as Yuki calls him: Santa-san. * SecondYearProtagonist: The series starts out with both Yuki and Kagetora as this. * SecurityCling: Yuki to Kagetora, mostly only on the covers.* ScarfOfAsskicking: Kagetora has one. * TheScream: When Yuki goes on a roller coaster despite her fear of them.* SelectiveObliviousness: Satsuki '''refuses''' to believe Kagetora doesn't want to date her. Most of her theories end up becoming [[InsaneTrollLogic illogical]] attempts to justify his actions.* SexySantaDress: Just [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v02/c008/1.html look]]. * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Kagetora denies his feelings because he [[MarriedTotheJob feels it's not right fr a ninja to feel that way towards his master]]. ** [[{{Tsundere}} Yuki]] [[BrutalHonesty also does this]] to Kagetora when she's upset. * [[SickEpisode Sick Chapters]]: Quite a few. * SilkHidingSteel: Yuki's mother is actually very skilled with weapons.. * SingleTargetSexuality: Kagetora seems to be Yuki sexual for the most part. * SmokeOut: Used by Kagetora to hide Yuki when [[spoiler: her bikini top comes off]]. ** Used again by Natsume. * SnarkyNonHumanSidekick: Kosuke is this minus the sociopath part. He's always [[LampshadeHanging pointing]] '''everything out'''.* StalkerWithACrush: Reizeiin Satsuki to Kagetora. She claims to have done research on him after only meeting him once. * StealthHiBye: The series practically runs on this. Yuki does this all the time to [[{{Ninja}} Kagetora]] [[{{Irony}} of all people]], to the point that you'd think ''she'' is the {{Ninja}}. Possibly because Kagetora is constantly {{Talking To Himself}}. ** [[ActionGirl Sakuya]] is probably even more skilled at this, since she manages to sneak behind him even on guard.* SubordinateExcuse: Kagetora's first excuse for staying near Yuki is that he's her Ninja bodyguard. * {{Sugar and Ice Personality}}: Yuki can occasionally give Kagetora the [[{{Tsundere}} cold shoulder]] when she's upset with him.** In the [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas Chapter]] she pretty much ignores him for half of it. * [[spoiler:{{Supporting Harem}}]]: A new girl is introduced nearly every chapter....and she always loves Kagetora. [[spoiler: Unforutnately for her, she's often {{Put On A Bus}} even after [[{{Determinator}} claiming to never give up]].]]. * {{Tanabata}} * [[spoiler: TeacherStudentRomance]]: [[spoiler: Technically Kagetora is Yuki's teacher]]. * ThinkingOutLoud: Kagetora does this ''all the time''. Usually right before [[StealthHiBye Yuki sneaks up on him]].* ThreesomeSubtext: While there's little to no LesYay between Yuki and Satsuki, they do have a [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything rather strange scene with Kagetora]].** To be specific, Kagetora gets tea spilled on him and both of them try and tear his shirt off. * TokenMiniMoe: Yuki. * TranquilizerDart: Satsuki's WeaponOfChoice when attempting to [[BlackComedyRape capture Kagetora]].** Used by Kagetora once * {{Tsundere}}: Kiritani is Type A, she usually acts [[SugarAndIcePersonality cold and somewhat cruel]] yet occasionally shows a warmer side. (Mostly towards Yuki)*** Eventually [[spoiler: [[ShipTease She even goes as far as to be -dere towards Kagetora in one chapter]].]]*** Yuki may also count as a non-violent Type B. A kind, sweet girl, but when Kagetora shows no interest in her he gets the cold shoulder. * [[spoiler: TwiceShy: [[spoiler: Yuki and Kagetora could've resolved most of the plot much quicker if they weren't this]].* UnwantedHarem: Unfortunately, [[ChickMagnet Kagetora]] attracts a few girls, a [[StalkerWithACrush stalker]], and quite a few [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy girls]].** [[http://mangafox.me/manga/kagetora/v03/c014/10.html Just]] [[LoverTugOfWar look]].* VerbalTic: Kagetora says "Fuu" fairly often.* WorldOfActionGirls* YamatoNadeshiko: [[AvertedTrope Kagetora imagines Yuki this way, but boy was he wrong]]. Played straight with her mother, though.----

Berkeys Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc., remains to expand its service location beyond its Northeast Tarrant County roots by extending operations into Irving, Haltom City, Euless, Pantego, Hurst, Watauga and other communities in the main and south areas of the DFW city.
Berkeys, a seasonal customer favorite in local newspaper surveys in Southlake, Colleyville, Grapevine and other Northeast Tarrant County neighborhoods, has taken pleasure in strong growth throughout the recent years of economic recession. Berkeys president Bill Stevens attributes its success to worker training, an extreme focus on consumer satisfaction and its distinctive Universal Protection Plan service arrangement.
"Our genuine company is not air plumbing, heating or conditioning service– it's client service," Stevens stated. "We realize our consumers have other alternatives, so we work fanatically to provide an exceptional house service experience for our consumers that leaves them discussing it for weeks and months.".
Fantastic service requires excellent devotion. Each Berkeys staff member receives more than 150 hours of training every year to build technical and customer service abilities. When Berkeys moved into a larger headquarters structure in March, Stevens established a devoted training center.
"From our consumers' perspective, our plumbers, Air Conditioning and heating professionals and customer care agents are the company, so it follows that we should invest greatly in our people," Stevens stated.
Likewise main to the business's success: the Universal Protection Plan service arrangement, something distinct in the plumbing service and heating and heating and cooling markets. It consists of annual tune ups on all main heating and cooling systems in a home, no matter how many, as well as a "preventive plumbing" evaluation each year, all for $99.
Most rivals charge almost as much for a single tune up on one central air conditioning or heating unit. Considering each tune up needs about one hour to finish, the value of a single contract for all tune ups is right away obvious. Property owners with one central Air Conditioning and heating system save cash, however for those with 2 more systems, the cost savings in tune up costs alone amount to numerous dollars each year.
While the service agreement is a loss leader, Berkeys considers it a sound investment in establishing long-term customer relationships. Clients like it, too: Thousands buy and restore Universal Protection Plan contracts every year and tell others about it– about half of Berkeys new company originates from references. Also, all AC, plumbing and heating service is priced by flat rates, not hourly. Customers know ahead of time just how much a task will cost, whether it takes one day or one hour.
Stevens said Berkeys service area expansion does not come at the cost of any existing consumers.
"We thought this through thoroughly, and we didn't make a move to expand till we understood we could do it with no adverse result on our long-time client base in Grapevine, Southlake, Colleyville, Flower Mound and other surrounding locations," he said.
About Berkeys.
Berkeys Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning has focused on the requirements of homeowners in Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville and Flower Mound for 35 years. Berkeys credibility for timely, honest service from licensed and factory qualified professionals ensures consumers the best in professional service, incorporated with leading brands including American Standard, Rinnai, Toto, In Sink Erator and more.

Outside Fort Worth, scientists unearthed the remains of enormous creature not commonly associated with the North Texas plains: a mega shark. Scientists from the University of Oklahoma announced the discovery Wednesday in the clinical journal Plos One with an article entitled "A Gigantic Shark from the Lower Cretaceous Duck Creek Development of Texas.". "
These specimens are vital since they represent a few of the biggest released lamniform shark vertebrae from the Early Cretaceous of The United States and Canada.".
Lamniform is a typical family of sharks that consists of the Great White– however this sharks appears practically twice as big as the kin of Jaws. It was recognized based upon 3 fossilized vertebrae, which give scientists a great estimate of the shark's length– they say about 20 feet long at minimum.
But the exact species of the shark is unclear. Researchers believe it's leptostyrax macrorhiza, of which bigger specimens have been unearthed in Kansas. The shark lived about 140 million years earlier, when nearly all of Texas was covered in a shallow sea or muddy swamps and the air was warmer than it is today.
Tiny shelled sea creatures and terrific aquatic predators milled about the vast waters of the Lone Star State. It was a time of greenhouse environment, when high international temperature levels melted most polar ice. At the same time, the sluggish birth of the Rocky Mountains in The United States and Canada pressed down the earth throughout much of the continent.
Add those together and you have oceans in Texas. However the Texas shark rattles researchers' concepts of those very ancient seas, where giant lizard-like animals were formerly believed the dominant and sole predator of the seas. Now they know there were at least 2 mammoth beasts that swam through Texas in those days.
The discovery also enhances the idea that sharks, especially lamniform sharks, are some of the most ancient huge animals of modern-day times.

Business and financial advisers are pointing to the swelling ranks of baby boomers currently in retirement as an accelerating trend impacting the world of wealth management, seeing growing demand for ongoing guidance from an aging population that largely views that transition in the context of the recent recession.
[caption id="attachment_92506" align="alignright" width="431"] Loren Kertz, Richard Stone, Jim Petray. David Waitrovich[/caption]
Among the issues emerging as defining that cohort of retirees is unease over the rapid market fluctuations that have become commonplace in recent years, bolstered further by fresh memories of a recent economic downturn that still reverberates throughout the national economy. And for the newly retired former business owners who guided their companies through that tumultuous period, adjusting to the relatively hands-off nature of retirement income can be a particularly trying process, those advisers said.
"Everybody has emotional issues with investing money," said Loren Kertz, senior financial consultant at the Corte Madera branch of Charles Schwab. "The hard part for these business owners is checking out for a little bit of time and letting the investments work."Shaken from recession
It was in September of 2008 that news of the unfolding mortgage and financial crisis contributed to a widespread market decline that included the largest-ever 778-point slide in the highly watched Dow Industrial Average in a single day. It was considered a pivotal moment in an ongoing economic downturn that impact countless investors, including many baby boomers on the cusp of retirement.
Yet many have noted that those who remained in the market have largely been rewarded -- that same index, which hit 6,594 in March of 2009, broke a record 15,000 in May of 2013 and has spent the majority of 2014 above 16,000.
While that uptick has provided a recent example of the longer-term gains for most investors, it is still the day-to-day oscillations that pull hardest on the heartstrings of former business owners, Mr. Kertz said.
"The Internet is a big piece of that. In the past 15 years, you have a daily, up-to-the-minute balance change," he said.'Bulge' retiring amid low interest rates
Many advisers described an uptick in the time and resources they have devoted to helping former business owners come to terms with that new source of income, and emphasized that the millions of baby boomers entering retirement is no small phenomenon in the world of financial planning. The oldest of that large generation, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau as the nearly 80 million people born between 1946 and 1964, turned 65 in 2011.

ERMOMETER USING LlQUID CRYSTAL CQMPGSETIQNS BACKGROUND OF lNVENTlON invention related to a thermometer using tem- 5 perature responsive liquid crystal compositions whose initial color changes responsive to threshold temperatures,
SUMMARY or The niv'eurrou The principal object of this invention is the provision of a thermometer of the type described above, which is not only fast-acting, safe to handle, and light in weight,
f but also readable relativelyto a finely graduated degree.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING PK}. 1 is a plan view of a temperature measuring device embodying this invention with its front cover removeiand Y H FR]. 2 is anenlarged cross section taken along a line li-ll ofFlG. I.
DESCRiPTI'ON or THE PREFERRED EMBoniMeNr.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the reference numeral 1 indicates a support comprising a base sheet 2 formed of metal, such as aluminum, or synthetic resin, and a front cover- 3 formed of a substantially transparent synthetic resinous material and having dimensions substantially equalto those of the base sheet ZQBetween the base sheet2} and the front cover 3 are arranged a plurality of temperature responsive sections dAQB, 4C formed f liquid crystal compositions. Seven such sections are illustrated in FIG. 1 in alignment with each other with spacings, and accompanied by numerical indications 6A,.6B indicating threshold temperatures at which the temperature responsive sections 4A, 4B, 4C reach.
The te-nperture responsive sections may be termed face of the frontcover 3 men the upper surface of the base. sheet 2 seven different liquid crystal compositions each having a color changing property at predetermined temperatures. Namely, the temperature responsive' section 2A is responsible to a specific range of temperalture or a temperature between 35 and 36 C, the
section ii between 36 and 37* C, the section 4C D between 37 and 38- C and so, forth, so that the thermometer as illustrated may be used to measure a tem peratu rebetween 35 C and 42 C.
responsive section will produce various colors depending upon temperature within the prime temperature 2 range. For example, when the section d A' whose prin temperature range is between 35 to36 C is been first at 35 Cand the temperature is gradually eleven to 3.6 C, it will first be colored red and the color w then change successively from red to orange, yelloi green, light blue, dark blue and purple in the 0rd mentioned. Y i
The thermometer of this invention further comprisi a first strip 8 carrying a chromatic pattern 7 therec and asecond strip it) which bears a graduation 9 wii numerical indications. The first and second strips an It? may be bonded to the surface of the base sheet 1 Alternatively the chromatic pattern.7 and the gradu; tion 9 may bereproduced directly on the base sheet or either side of the front cover 3, for example, b printing.
The chromatic pattern '7 represents a rainbow, lil: pattern including red, orange, yellow, green, sky blue dark blue and purple. These colors correspond to th colors that can be produced by any temperatur responsive section when the temperature to which sail section is subjected falls in its prime temperature range The entire length of the chromatic pattern 7 whicl covers 1 Centigrade is graduated as at 9 so as to in dicate, for example, a fiftieth of a degree. in the em bodirnent shown, the graduation 9 is numbered in step of 01 C, which will practically assist reading of sub stantially a tenth of a degree Centigrade.
in operation, when the device is exposed to an objec whose temperature is to be measured and the temperature responsive section, say 4C, produces a color other than black or different from the other sections, it car he read that the temperature is 37 C or above, but less than 38 C. The specific color produced should then be identified on the chromatic pattern. If the color is orange and the visuall quivalent color in the chromatic pattern is read to be indicated by 0.2 of the graduation, the measuring temperature should be 37.2 C. When the temperature is say exactly 37 C, two adjacentsections, such as sections 48 and 4C will operate to be responsive. in such a case, either one of them may be optionally selected as an operating section, and the color thereof compared with the chromatic pattern.
On the rear surface of the base sheet 2 may be deposited an adhesive film 22 which in turn may be covered with a thin protection sheet 11 made of a material capable of being easily peeled. The adhesive film l2 permits the device to be so positioned as to be properly exposed to an object or a patient whose temperature is to be measured. a
if a reversibietype liquid crystal composition is employed instead of a memory type composition, repeatedly usable thermometers may be provided.
What is claimed is:
l. A thermometer for measuring body temperature, comprising:
a. a support (I) with front and back including an elongated base sheet (2) and a transparent cover (3) over said base sheet on the front; I b. a first strip (8) on said base sheet (2), said base sheet having thereona plurality of temperature responsive sections (3A, 4B, 4C) of cholesteryl crystals, said sections being aligned with spacing therebetween and accompanied by numerical designations.(6A) indicating the threshold temperature at which a particular section reacts;
' c. a fine scale (9) on a second strip (i6) incremented in frcxions of the temperature difference between the response temperatures of adjacent seetions disposed along one side of seid support, said first and second ships (8, E0) being between said'base 5'- sheeflZ) and said cover (3); and, (1. adhesive means on the back side of said support.

While some quick-service restaurant chains – such as Bojangles and Chick-Fil-A – have long flaunted their southern roots by offering sweet tea as a staple, most are just now starting to catch on to the beverage's appeal.
Although tea is the third-highest selling drink at QSRs, behind iconic burger mates soda and shakes, it still has plenty of untapped potential.
According to the National Restaurant Association's 2010 Restaurant Industry Forecast, specialty iced tea is the No. 1 nonalcoholic beverage trend.
"Tea is still considered an undeveloped market, with an emphasis on sweet tea. Since McDonald's has expanded its $1 sweet tea (beginning in 2009), the usage has increased and the demand is also increasing, creating opportunity for other restaurants to satisfy the need and craving," said Darren Tristano, executive vice president of Technomic Inc., a foodservice consulting firm. "The increase of tea options is very likely at QSRs."
Cool beverage, hot trend
Mintel Menu Insights' 2009 Menu Innovation Report is consistent with this prediction, concluding that iced tea beverages – especially those with fruit-inspired flavors – are a "hot trend" within the QSR industry. The tea market reached $3.9 billion in 2009 and Mintel's forecast calls for a 53 percent increase from 2008-2013.
Since McDonald's introduced sweet tea and fresh brewed ice tea, it has sold more than 1.5 billion cups.
"That's enough tea to fill more than five Olympic-sized swimming pools weekly," said Danya Proud, senior manager, McDonald's U.S. Media Relations. "Our business decisions are based on what we hear from our customers. Sweet tea is now available in the majority of McDonald's U.S. restaurants and the response has been overwhelmingly positive."
Other chains that have embraced this demand include Arby's, with its Iced FruiTea line, including mandarin peach, passion fruit, diet peach and diet blackberry flavors; Sonic's sweetened, unsweetened, raspberry, peach and cranberry flavored teas; and Jack in the Box's mango, peach and raspberry teas.
Jack in the Box also added Coca Cola Co.'s Gold Peak to its menu this year, offering yet another dimension for its thirsty customers.
"We have always emphasized the importance of providing fresh-brewed iced tea and have realized a great deal of consumer loyalty with our tea program," said Brian Luscomb, corporate communications vice president at Jack in the Box. "With the introduction of Gold Peak, we saw a new premium tea as a way to bring excitement to the beverage category. We were the first QSR to offer this brand in fresh-brewed form which delivers a much more natural and refreshing flavor."
Burger King followed suit and added Gold Peak earlier this year. Also as part of its contract with Coca-Cola, Sonic introduced its "Ultimate Drink Machine" in the spring, which will infuse new flavor options into its green tea. The machine's national roll out will be complete by the end of 2011.
Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen took a proprietary approach to the game, introducing its own "Cane Sweeeet Iced Tea" in May. Alicia Thompson, vice president of communications and public relations for Popeyes, said the timing of the launch made perfect sense.
"I think anyone in the QSR segment who has been watching trends realizes the tremendous opportunity for beverage growth globally, and tea is a hot concept that consumers want," Thompson said.
Thompson adds that the product's sales are off to a great start, notably because it complements the food.
"We developed this blend deliberately to tie in with the flavor and spicy-ness of our food. Tea is such a cooling and refreshing beverage and it's the perfect fit for our menu," she said. "Additionally, it will help drive our innovation and creativity and put us in a better position. As more chains look to add beverage variety, those who are not are going to be left behind."
Health, variety factors
Mintel's report studied why consumers are demanding tea, and 77 percent answered "taste." Tea offers a compatible canvas for fruit-flavored infusion, giving consumers a greater selection than traditional soda choices.
"Offering a variety of flavor options is important if you want to increase your beverage incidence. This prompted us to introduce our line of flavored iced teas last summer, and we continue to expand the availability of our sweet tea," Luscomb said.
Additionally, almost half of Mintel's respondents said they prefer tea because it is a healthy alternative to other beverages.
Subway added Fuze iced tea to its U.S. menus in 2009, issuing a company statement saying the product – owned by the Coca-Cola Co. – is compatible with Subway's platform, as it contains antioxidants and vitamins.
"As consumers are shifting their behaviors, it's essential to offer healthier options," Luscomb said.
Full steam ahead
The future for tea certainly looks strong, no doubt with some help from the increased QSR inclusion. The Tea Association of the USA, Inc. recently released a report predicting an accelerated increase in foodservice tea sales throughout the next five years.
Cinnabon plans to jump on board soon as it is currently testing iced tea blends to add to its newly revamped menu, and chains that offer Gold Peak may get a boost from Coca-Cola's new Flex Fresh equipment, which can brew more than 50 different kinds of iced tea.
"The tea category will continue to exhibit a high level of growth. More importantly, tea seems to be reaching a much younger audience than it did in the past," Luscomb said. "It is reasonable to assume that tea has staying power on QSR menus."

We stayed here for two nights with our two dogs and couldn't have asked for a better vacation. The suite we were in was gorgeous... it had a spa bathroom that looked like it came right out of a magazine! There was a window seat that our dogs loved because they could lay in the sun but still see all the comings and goings. The kitchen had everything we needed for lunch or dinner. The breakfasts provided were delicious and there were lots of choices. Everyone was so dog-friendly, stopping to chat about our pups and give us tips on where to go with them. The Portuguese festival was going on, so the park next door had a big tent in it, but there was still plenty of room to walk our dogs. Poop bags were provided everywhere. We took our dogs to Herring Cove Beach, which has plenty of dog-specific areas - the weather was gorgeous and we had a great time. This will be our go-to place in Provincetown from now on!

We were lucky to secure a last minute reservation at the Provincetown Inn, which is not our usual resting place in P'town. We were thrilled from the moment we arrived late in the day. The welcome from Chris was very warm and next day when we appeared at breakfast everyone - the Elizabeths, Anna and Kay- all knew who we were. The friendliness is infectious and resulted in one of the happiest vacations we have know. We had a very generously proportioned suite - The Montgomery. We have never had so much space in P'town. This is a dog friendly property, even if you are a senior Labrador with no sense of humor about younger dogs! The breakfast is delicious, cooked to order and can be enjoyed in the Great Room, on the terrace or taken back to the room. A very memorable stay. Highly recommended.
Innkeeper Response
Next time make sure you book early. Thank you for the wonderful review. We indeed love your pets, and hope you stay with us in the future in one of our pet-friendly rooms.

We returned to Gabriel's for our 10 year wedding anniversary after Ptown was one of only 4 towns to go forward with gay marriage for out of state citizens in May of 2004! The Elizabeths have made amazing additions and improvements, and it was even better than before. Breakfast was amazing every day and we could tell their employees totally enjoy their work. We stayed in the Olivia suite and couldn't have asked for more comfort. We definitely recommend it! Julie and Shannon Lexington, KY
