Objective To examine the relationship between intake of whole grains and BMI Z-score in rural children.
Design General linear models and logistic regression were used to examine the cross-sectional associations between whole grain intake and BMI Z-score, prevalence and odds ratios of overweight and obesity. Dietary intake was assessed using the Block Food Screener for ages 2–17 years. Children were classified into three categories according to servings of whole grain intake: <1·0 serving/d, 1·0–1·5 servings/d and >1·5 servings/d.
Setting The CHANGE (Creating Healthy, Active and Nurturing Growing-up Environments) study, an obesity prevention intervention in elementary schools in eight rural US communities in California, Mississippi, Kentucky and South Carolina.
Subjects Seven hundred and ninety-two children attending 3rd–6th grade.
Results After adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, physical activity and state of residence, whole grain intake was inversely associated with BMI Z-score (0·90 v. 0·61 in the lowest v. the highest whole grain intake category; P trend = 0·01). Children who consumed >1·5 servings of whole grains/d had a 40 % lower risk of being obese (OR = 0·60; 95 % CI 0·38, 0·95, P = 0·02) compared with children who consumed <1·0 serving/d. Further adjustment for potential dietary predictors of body weight (fruit, vegetable and dairy intakes) did not change the observed associations.
Conclusions Increasing the intake of whole grains as part of an overall healthy lifestyle may be beneficial for children to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Things I liked: I am no expert on modern-day break barrel pellet guns the last time I shot a pellet gun was 50 years ago. As a teenager then I had a Benjamin Sheridan pump and a Crossman CO2 pellet gun. About four months ago I bought my first break barrel pellet gun a Gamo bone collector in 177 caliber and like it. Decided to get another break barrel in 22 caliber did some research online reviews etc. and decided to purchase the Diana RWS 34. I like this rifle it is definitely well-made with quality materials and workmanship. It is German made and reflects that fact. Out of the box with the open sights I was able to get it sighted in pretty quick with consistent groups. I then put a leapers 3 x 9 x 32 scope on got that sighted pretty quickly and I'm having some very consistent groups. I've only put about 100 pellets thru it so it's not broken in yet but already am showing excellent accuracy. Very pleased with this rifle and look forward to shooting it more and getting to know it better.
Things I would have changed: RWS packaging leaves a lot to be desired, most of the stryofoam in the box was busted up but rifle was fine. I'm not crazy about the safety I cannot put safety back on with my thumb alone, The downward pressure stops it from coming back I have to grab it between my thumb and index finger but it's really not a big deal on a single shot rifle. The instructions for adjusting the T06 trigger just doesn't make sense to me the way it's written. Maybe it's the German or maybe it's me but I think they need to have an American write the instructions on it. I'm still working on it and haven't yet found what I like but again this is kind of a minor thing and getting used to the trigger will be fine
What others should know: Pyramid air's customer service has been outstanding. The first 34 they sent to me didn't feel like it was snapping or locking or seating shut after loading but I thought maybe this was how the gun is designed, I really didn't have the experience to know whether this is how this rifle is designed I shot it for about four or five days and noticed if I put any force up underneath the forward part of the stock the breech would open. I called PA and ran it by them and they said no shouldn't be like that, you send it back to us and they sent me this one I just reviewed. PA as a loyal customer in me

Things I liked: This review is on RWS 34 22cal. that came with a scope 4x, Nice trigger out of the box, very nice finish solid gun was the 1st impression. I shot 3 different pellets Benjamin 14.3gr hollow point, Crosman premier hollow point (believe similar 14.? gr weight was not marked on the can) & Crosman alloy point 16.7 gr. I sighted in at 25 ft and shoot out to 50ft (I have very little experience with spring guns). I expected some what of a larger group but due to recoil spring guns have, but that was not my experience once sighted. The gun printed multiple rounds in or near the same holes. I would agree dime size groups with in 10 rounds getting use to the gun. The crosman premier hollow point shot bit more consistent in this gun, the Benjamin hollow points shot very close to the same. The gun was sighted to zero at 50' and at 25' the gun shot 3/4" low so just bit above the lower duplex point. One thing I noted both lead pellets fit very snug in chamber and had to be place with surprising force
Things I would have changed: The scope mount that came with the package is one piece high base mount which has two recoil pin screws. These recoil screws fit in the base bore pretty loose I wasn't to happy about that, I pulled the mount back against the bore. I personal needed the scope to mount more forward in the base for full clear objective field for my cheek weld. The scope had a parallax adjustment, very predictable with adjustment during sighting the gun. Over all the scope and the base probably fine to start with... the distance between the to mounts maybe a problem with a different scope if it has a shorter tube between the bells. I tried to mount a 2x7 Hawke mil-dot and it won't fit in this base the tube between the bells are to short. The scope worked fine I just had to change my cheek position from what I'm use too, the proof is in the group I shot.
What others should know: There's cheaper guns out there. I bought one never could keep it sighted in, I could not trust it on any kind of critical shot, it also was a springer. The gun broke after ~ 300 rounds, couldn't lock the piston when cocked. I returned it and got my money back. I had it about 2 weeks. After some research I really wanted to buy gas piston gun, but I couldn't find one that review very well in this price range. What I found the RWS 34 has the best reliability, accuracy and features for the money in my search. The trigger being the most important in a springer gun to me, you just can't shoot well with a terrible trigger any gun. This is a two stage trigger some people don't like these types. The finial stage has bit more creep than I would like it's noticeable to me, other people may not notice it. The trigger is very smooth light trigger I'd say close to 3lbs. I made no adjustment just shot it as it came out of the box. My concern is with the safety, once switched off can't get it "on"?

Things I liked: This is my first springer rifle. The Diana RWS 34 was very accurate right out of the box and excellent fit and finish. The wood stock is a thing of beauty. The sight is very easy to adjust and I was able to dial it in quickly, even though I am a right handed shooter who is left eye dominant. The cocking effort on my 22 caliber is reasonable and does not tire me out like I thought it might. I plan to add a scope soon for hunting, but the open sight works great for me right now.
Things I would have changed: I would prefer a rubber butt pad over the metal one provided. I would also like to see RWS provide a sling mount system for carrying the rifle in the field.
What others should know: This is a long heavy gun that is a little intimidating at first. I find that the weight makes the gun very stable while sighting, but some smaller shooters might find it too heavy.
Is the barrel droop just part of this model design and thus present on every rifle?
is the diana goddess still on the brand new model 34?
Pellet doesn't seem to seat straight or flush no matter what I do. It tilts downward and the bottom of the skirt is exposed. I could push it in further but it still seems crooked. Tried different pellets, a pen...is this a defect I need to send to RWS? Or anyone else had this problem?
You can use an air venturi pellet seater Pellet Pen and Pellet Seater,... to seat the pellet in.
I have a D34, and it is designed with the angle on the breech face. I use a pellet pen adjusted so the bottom pellet skirt is just flush with the breech face. Don't seat the pellet in too far because you will loose velocity. Don't seat the pellet too far out, otherwise the pellet skirt will get bent when the barrel is closed an accuracy will suffer.
The breach is machined on an angle giving the appearance that the pellet is crooked,but isn't not.There is nothing wrong with your rifle if I understand your question correctly.

After I opened an account with Top Bet I noticed that their computerized casino did not operate normally. It would allow you to win the first game or two then switch into a very aggressive mode not allowing you to win. It was so consistant in this that I began to be worried about the fairlness of the casino games. I contacted Top Bet and said I wanted to close my account. I was not allowed to do this or even withdrawal funds. I was told I had to place bets of $2,800 before I could make a withdrawal. (My deposit was $100). After I made the call I noticed that the computerized games were even more aggressive. I stopped playing Blackjack and switched to Roulette, sticking to just betting red or black. I bet black and then the roulette wheel hit red 21 times in a row wiping out my account. I had never played roulette on the Top Bet site. I looked up the odds of this happening. The odds were that 21 straight rolls of red would happen once every 2,097,152 times. If I played 10 games of roulette every Saturday this would happen once every 4,032 years.
It struck me that it may be no coincidence that this occured after I attempted to make a withdrawal. I feel that this operation is a criminal scam. For those who bet with Top Bet.....good luck getting any money back.

Obtaining the highest credit score possible is an objective that was handed to consumers decades ago. In order to qualify for just about any line of credit like a credit card, car loan or mortgage, you need to show that you can handle the credit extended to you and pay it back on time.
The closer you are to the perfect 850 credit score, the better your chances of qualifying for bottom-line rates. Here's what goes into your credit score and what you can do to get the highest score possible.
Learn: 7 Habits of People With Great Credit Scores
What Is a Credit Score?
How Your Credit Score Is Determined
To build strong credit, you must know how credit scores are generated. In general, there are five elements that factor into your credit score. Each have a different amount of influence.
Payment History (35 percent): Your payment history provides a snapshot of your reliability as a consumer and borrower. This includes your credit card, car and mortgage payments. It also looks at whether you have defaulted on other bills, have had an account sent to a collection agency or have been sued for delinquency. Bankruptcies and foreclosures fall into this category, as well.
Your Debts (30 percent): This examines how much credit you've been extended versus how much you're using. Credit bureaus use something called a credit utilization ratio to measure whether you're using too much credit. According to the ratio, you shouldn't owe too much on your revolving credit, but you also can't owe too little. Tracy Becker, credit expert and president of North Shore Advisory, said that "keeping aggregate balances at 7 percent of aggregate limits on revolving credit gives consumers higher scores."
Related: The Biggest Credit Score Myth That Just Won't Die
Length of Credit History (15 percent): The longer your credit history, the more trustworthy you can look as a borrower. Keeping an old line of credit open and active shows you are reliable, predictable and have a habit of keeping accounts in good standing.
Types of Credit You Use (10 percent): If you can successfully manage different types of credit, your credit score can see a boost. Becker explained that "having many old and active accounts, which include installment credit, revolving credit, mortgages and lines of credit" will provide you a healthy mix of credit types.
New Credit You Take On (10 percent): Opening too many lines of credit at once raises red flags for credit bureaus and lenders. If you are shopping around for the best loan rates and terms, however, a few queries in a short period of time won't be detrimental to your score.
How to Obtain and Keep the Highest Credit Score Possible
Improving your credit score is a matter of building healthy financial habits. One of the easiest ways you can improve your credit is by rethinking your spending habits and how you manage debts. Katie Ross, education and development manager for American Consumer Credit Counseling, a non-profit that educates consumers on identity theft, credit, debt and budgeting, offered these tips for consumers looking to improve their credit scores:
1. Avoid using your credit card if you're in a financial bind.
"Finance charges and other fees will add to your debt burden," Ross said. However, even using your credit card when times get tough is preferable to a home equity loan.
2. Don't get into the habit of making minimum payments.
Minimum payments might ease the burden off your monthly budget, but if you make a habit of only paying the minimum, you'll pay a lot more over time. On this, Ross said:
"If you pay only the minimum, it will take a long time to pay off your debt. For example, if you owe $5,000 on an account with 18% APR, making 2 percent payments will take over 44 years to pay off. Also, you will have paid $12,431.00 in interest."
3. Make your payments on time, every time.
Paying off your debt might be difficult, but avoiding payments won't make your life any easier. "Bad problems get worse fast when you have late fees and higher rates to pay during financial difficulty," she said. But if you miss a payment by accident or have a good excuse, she recommended calling your credit card company to have your late fee waived.
4. Don't max out your credit cards.
"A credit card account close to its limit will cause a big drop in your credit score," she said. Maxing out your account also puts you in danger of getting hit with over-limit fees.
Financial Tips From the 800 Club
Bridget Cramer entered the 800 club at age 31. From a young age her parents encouraged her to avoid taking on unnecessary debts. "My parents raised me to pay with everything in cash and wouldn't even teach us how to utilize the mortgage option in monopoly," she said. Even with credit cards, she avoids carrying balances month to month unless she has a zero interest rate. More importantly, she said:
"I never finance anything without a plan to pay for it."
In short, a strong credit score takes strong discipline and a commitment to healthy financial habits. Here are some ways you can manage your money like a pro:
While obtaining a credit score of 800 or more takes time and a bit of effort, the hardest part of getting a high credit score is maintaining it. 800 club members constantly have to calculate how much they spend when using credit cards, fret over whether to allow any inquiries on their reports and even contemplate whether they should temporarily stop using credit cards so that new loans won't hurt their credit utilization ratios.
Is an 850 Credit Score Possible?
Even among the most disciplined consumers few achieve the highest credit score possible. In fact, only about 0.5 percent of Americans are able to obtain an 850 credit score, according to FICO. Even then, credit scores change all the time, so it's not likely any one person is maintaining an 850 credit score.
Any adjustment made to a credit profile, from buying a new car to opening a new line of credit, can cause a sudden drop. And if your credit card issuer decides to lower your available balance without you knowing, your credit utilization ratio can be thrown off.
Read: 5 Surprising Things You Can Find on Your Credit Report
Is Pushing for the Highest Credit Score Worth It?
Aside from the ego boost, a higher credit score has numerous benefits. However, because much of the credit and reporting process is out of your hands, you could be looking at a lot of regular homework to maintain your highest possible score, especially if you have less-than-stellar financial habits.
That is why some experts advise you not to worry about trying to achieve the top credit score. Instead, it's better to think in terms of a credit score range. If you have a score of around 780, you are likely to receive the same interest rates and preferred treatment that you would get if your score was a perfect 850.
Of course, being in the 800 club is something to brag about. If you want to reach for the stars, go for it. Just know that while it is possible to obtain the highest credit score, you don't need it to receive the top benefits. You should also be aware that your score is not entirely in your control. This way, you can focus less on striving for perfection and more on enjoying all of the great things your responsible actions have afforded you.

To simplify:
The AS-15 is a hot shoe adapter, it "enables the connection of flash sync cords with standard PC-type connector to the camera body, via the built-in hot shoe. Suitable for Nikon cameras not fitted with PC-type sync terminal." Nowhere the word TTL comes up.
On the other hand, the SC-17 " ... provides full TTL flash coupling for off-camera positioning of Nikon speedlights." One end is a hot shoe male adapter that goes into the camera, the other end is a female hot shoe where the speedlight hot shoe is mounted.

Expert fusion of design and production techniques, together with the historical knowledge of the profession with its own specific needs. Quality of construction as well as salon image are the key elements upon which GAMMA & BROSS SPA focuses its entrepreneurial commitment.
Setting its roots in artisan laboratory at the beginning of the 20s, the company officially born 30 years ago, originally supplying the Italian market. At the beginning of the 90s other European countries were reached, as well as Asia, the Middle East and the United States. Now the company sells its upscale furniture in more than 50 countries and the distribution network has been developed in more than 30 countries.
The headquarters of the company lie in the wonderful hilly region near lake of Garda. Here the commercial offices, the design department and manufacturing laboratories, as well as the new 10,000 sq. ft show room with the most up-to-date designs, realize furnishings for the domestic and the foreign markets, which represent more than a half of the group's turnover. We don't have to mention the importance of salon image in the hairdressing field, the professional sector which for years has been based on the refinement and the new nuances of attention to details.
GAMMA & BROSS SPA proposes every year different collections with very particular features. They consist of wide selection of styling units, styling chairs, waiting area sofas, shampoo bowls, reception desks, displays, professional hood dryers, massage tables, pedicure spas, nail tables, as well as a wide range of design accessories including lamps, stools, trolleys, cabinets, poster racks, magazine racks, posters.
Production methods are based on the latest state-of-the-art systems, where the computer is the basic element through which manual operations have been eliminated, especially where precision and repetition is necessary. In other areas, for example carpentry, painting and assembling, the operator in indispensable, a further guarantee of artisan Italian design.
How is it possible to guarantee our customers the results they expect in relation to the salon image idea reflecting their personalities?
Here the latest CAD projections allow GAMMA & BROSS SPA to use virtual three-dimensional projects giving the customer a visual judgement, often in real-time through internet. In this way the customer has the final result of how his or her salon will be.
Innovation and design
Continuous product innovation is at the heart of our philosophy and finds its conceptual origin into design creation. This vision assures that a product cannot be placed in the market unless it has a high degree of design content. Design is the yardstick at which strategic and operative choices are made, nonetheless taking into high consideration the function of the furniture piece. Design is never considered an end in itself, because it has to be complementary to what the piece of design is for. This aspect leads us to the second fundament of our philosophy.
Client satisfaction
We are proud to define ourselves a market oriented company. Client satisfaction is the factor that has allowed us to be successful and grow constantly over the years. We are fully aware that client satisfaction is not limited to the manufacturing of models appreciated by the market, but it means the full realization of the needs along all the value chain, from the service offered to our closest partners, our distributors and agents, to the satisfaction of the salon owners and their clientele. Being market oriented does not only mean to follow fashion trends, but also being constantly receptive to what the client requires when he or she goes in the salon, mainly in terms of microenvironment where he or she tries to satisfy basic psychological needs still more than material needs. That�s why we strive to be always active to recognize tastes and desires expressed by the market, trying to anticipate the change.
Attention to change
Because we are a company acting in the wider fashion and design arena, we give particular attention to new trends. Anyway, we do not follow trends rigidly, rather we try to act proactively in order to identify what the market is looking for by reinterpreting the tastes to propose a unique product that stands out of the crowd. We strive to establish a unique style which is aimed to clearly identify us into the market, and which is often more or less manifestly imitated. Our specific targeted collections allow us to offer different product lines with very particular features which have been properly studied for a defined segment of the market with its own peculiar motivations, desires and aspirations.
Salon concept
The current trend prevailing in the market is the "well-being salon", an oasis of relax where the client can find a wide range of treatments for the care of body and mind. Here, what identifies our approach from that of the competitors following a similar salon concept is the deep comprehension of the importance of the spiritual dimension of well-being, in that we believe that the psychological component of well-being is far more relevant than the physical component. Lots of people are talking about well-being and multifunctional beauty salon, but no one has really fully cared for the psychological aspects. More and more the environment becomes a fundamental variable in influencing the perception of physical sensations and it appears clear that even the most advanced treatments cannot guarantee appreciable results unless the client is mentally prepared. Whenever a client enters a well-being salon, he or she has to find himself or herself immediately immersed into an atmosphere of distension and perceive a feeling of tranquillity and peace suitable to better receive attention and care. Here comes the importance of soft and linear shapes, of non-aggressive colors, of meditational sounds, of natural materials, of vegetable scents, of spaces, all harmoniously conceived to create a wadded environment where matter truly can merge with spirit.
Minimal zen
The Minimal Zen Beauty Salon perfectly embodies the well-being salon concept: The environment communicates peace, relax, desire to meditate and contemplate. The wise mix of natural materials, the monochromatic use of color, the simplicity of style and shapes, give birth to a peaceful oasis conceived to create a rarefied, almost monastic atmosphere, a corner of Zen philosophy. The perception of emptiness is in reality the essence of fullness, because in a world where confusion, frenzy, agitation for futile and transitory things reign, essentiality becomes the sign of profoundness and research of spirituality. This concept does not mean anyway that it is necessary to forget about western technological comforts; on the contrary, these are suitable to improve the well-being perception, especially through the selection of specific treatments for healthcare and the beauty of body. In the Zen Beauty Salon the Oriental style melts with the Occidental modern touch, however accurately hidden in order to keep intact that atmosphere of high severity and refinement suitable to preserve its stylistic identity.

This is really "wontfix", though, since (a) the test framework does treat testserver specially and (b) introducing any accidental confusion with the use of example.com in the user's code is worth avioding. It's very clear when you see "testserver" that it's something generated by the test framework. Finally, (c) the default value of the sites setting is pretty irrelevant here, since if you are using the sites framework, you will have changed the value anyway.

I immediately sent them back certified mail and was told my account would be refunded in 5 to 10 days. Of course there were errors and then told it was being proccesed manually. This is all a ploy to get you to go past the 60 days your bank allows.
I was told so much bs I became furious I sent email after email. Made threats to go to my lawyer which I did. Told them I was going to contact my bank to report this theft which I also did. And made threats to go to every form of media out there.
First I was told sorry it was out of there hands. That it was their credit merchants fault. So I of course requested their information. I was relentless with these thieves.
Guess what almost 2 month later I recieved by overnight mail 159.95. They kept 10 dollars. Guess they couldn't resist stealing alittle more. I'll tell you, be relentless, drive them crazy, make threats. It worked for me.

|MTV sends out new reality programs for advance review only sporadically, and after witnessing an exercise in unrelenting vacuity like "The Hills," it's easy to understand why. A carefully massaged spinoff of sorts from "Laguna Beach," the series relocates flaxen-haired Lauren to the hills above West Hollywood, where she lands a "killer internship" at Teen Vogue while being surrounded by a new cast of beach-blanket-bingo friends. All told, it's "The Simple Life" with less substance, featuring youths that have clearly studied both the reality TV manual and "The OC" to perfect their "characters"...Granted, MTV is peddling a certain lifestyle and image with its reality fare, and virtually all reality shows set in Southern California indulge in cartoonish stereotypes, a la Bravo's "The Real Housewives of Orange County."

CHALLENGE TO AUTHORITY: A special report.; Disrespect as Catalyst for Brutality
Published: November 19, 1997
(Page 4 of 4)
Among the most provocative ways to challenge police authority, as Rodney G. King learned, is to engage officers in a car chase. As Jerome H. Skolnick and James J. Fyfe noted in ''Above the Law'' (The Free Press, 1993), their study of police conduct, ''Fleeing motorists become prime candidates for painful lessons at the end of police nightsticks.''
Edward Dominguez, 17, and his brother-in-law, Vicente Fernandez, then 20, did not consider themselves to be fleeing motorists on a spring night in 1993, just speeding drivers traveling a deserted highway at 70 miles an hour. Mr. Fernandez, a Dominican immigrant who works in his father's supermarket, had just picked up Mr. Dominguez, an American-born Dominican, from his job at one of his father's Mexican restaurants in the Bronx.
The men remember making a U-turn on Gun Hill Road, but said they were unaware at the time that a police cruiser began following them after the illegal maneuver. During testimony in a Police Department trial, however, the officers said they were forced to chase the young men at high speed on the Bronx River Parkway until Mr. Fernandez's car broke down.
With guns drawn, two officers pulled the two young men from the car, threw them on the ground and handcuffed them, both sides said. Mr. Fernandez was struck twice in the head with a police revolver, which left him with a bump on his forehead and a cut on the back of his head, according to hospital records.
With both men face down on the ground, Officer Francisco Rodriguez repeatedly asked where they had stolen the car, ignoring Mr. Fernandez's claim that it was his mother's. When Mr. Dominguez asked what they had done wrong, he said, the officer told him to shut up and spread his legs.
Then, Mr. Dominguez said, the officer kicked him hard in the groin, causing excruciating pain. One testicle swelled so much that weeks later it had to be removed.
At the police station house, a nauseated Mr. Dominguez told Sgt. Henry Pelayo that he was in pain from an officer's abuse. The sergeant, Mr. Dominguez said, told him no one had harmed him. When the young man insisted, according to prosecutors, the sergeant placed his hand on his gun and said: ''No, you fell! Nobody hit you. You fell.''
About 3 A.M., the young men were released to Mr. Dominguez's father, who drove them to the hospital. Mr. Dominguez's sister called the Civilian Complaint Review Board and filed a complaint. By dawn, the incident was under investigation, and the young men were interviewed by the police as they sat in wheelchairs in the emergency room.
A year and a half later, during the officers' departmental trial, Rae Downes Koshetz, the Deputy Commissioner in Charge of Trials, found the young men's complaints about their injuries at the hands of the officers to be ''plausible, promptly made, unexplained by the respondents, and corroborated by independent medical evidence.''
She found Officer Rodriguez guilty of physical abuse and of calling Mr. Fernandez a ''Dominican faggot.'' Referring to the ''gratuitous nature of the misconduct and the serious injury inflicted on Dominguez,'' she recommended that he lose 30 days' pay and be placed on probation for a year.
She found Sergeant Pelayo guilty of bullying and threatening the men, of ''misconduct per se'' and of condoning the misconduct committed at the scene. She recommended suspension without pay for 20 days, which Commissioner William J. Bratton upgraded to a 30-day suspension.
Both men were subsequently indicted by the Bronx District Attorney's office, and a trial date will be set in two weeks. They remain on the force. Officer Rodriguez's lawyer would not comment; Sergeant Pelayo's lawyer said his client was innocent.
Mr. Dominguez, meanwhile, dropped out of high school in his senior year, had a psychological breakdown and, at 21, is supported by his father. He was briefly married, but the marriage ended because he was unable to father a child due to his injury, he said.
He was born and raised in New York, but is considering moving to the Dominican Republic for a fresh start.
Three Civilians and Their Tales of Arrogance and Misconduct by the Police
Ralph A. Marino
Tax consultant
In late September, after an afternoon jog, Ralph A. Marino helped his Akita, Bella, to a drink from a water fountain in Central Park. A few feet away, a police officer, using his car's public-address system, ordered him to get the dog down.
Mr. Marino, 44, a tax consultant, said he complied, but not before calling the officer a jerk in foul language, a reaction he now says he regrets.
A few minutes later, Mr. Marino said, he found himself surrounded by a half-dozen police vehicles. He was arrested, strip-searched and detained for five hours. An officer told him that if people were to get away with cursing at the police, then ''tomorrow it's a stick, and the next day it's a bullet.''
Mr. Marino was released at 11 P.M. when the District Attorney's office declined to bring charges.
Nelson Santiago
John Jay College student
When Nelson Santiago answered the door of his Bronx home in March, he found two men who said they were police officers responding to reports that two Hispanic men were shooting guns. One man swept by as Mr. Santiago, 20, asked to see a warrant. He knew his rights, he told them. He was a college student studying criminal justice.
As one man searched the house, Mr. Santiago said, the other stood at the door, telling him to shut up. Mr. Santiago said he continued to demand a warrant.
Finally, he said, the second man ''hit me with a closed fist, splitting my lip.'' Mr. Santiago said he was pushed to the floor and ordered to stay down.
A short while later, the officers left. One apologized for the intrusion, he said, but the officer who hit him did not. He has filed both a lawsuit against the city and a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
Mohammad A.
Livery driver
Mohammad A., a Pakistani immigrant who drives a livery cab in downtown Brooklyn, suffered continuing harassment by two officers compounded by a litany of offenses, from false arrests to beatings in a squad car to anti-immigrant slurs, that rarely crop up in just one case.
The city paid him $50,000 to settle his claim of police misconduct, and the two officers were subsequently transferred from traffic duties that would bring them in contact with livery drivers. Mr. A. spoke to The Times on condition that his last name be withheld because he fears further retaliation.
Mr. A.'s harrowing experience began in summer 1994, when an officer gave him an unwarranted ticket, later dismissed, and ordered his car towed. A few months later, the same officer ordered him to pull over into a no-standing zone, gave him a ticket for parking there, and threatened and cursed him. A passenger, shocked by the exchange, accompanied Mr. A. to the police station to file a complaint.
Two days later, Mr. A. was falsely arrested and punched in the stomach by the officer, who told him: ''I was born here. This is my country. You were not born here.'' On his release, Mr. A. collapsed in abddominal pain on the sidewalk and was taken to an emergency room by ambulance.
Months later, the same officers approached his car. One threw a cigarette through his window. He drove off, and, he said, they chased him in their car and once more detained and beat him and gave him tickets.
The arresting officer had five brutality complaints on his record, two of which were substantiated by the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
All charges against Mr. A. were eventually dropped. It is unclear whether the officers, who were under investigation in other incidents, were ever punished.

Key Topics: CAD BIM Building Information Modelling Collaboration
Key Companies: Graphisoft
Key Products: BIMx BIMx Viewer ArchiCAD
|Graphisoft's BIMx provides tools for creating navigable models for sharing with clients, collaborators and other project members outside of the CAD environment, using the free BIMx Viewer, says David Chadwick
Graphisoft BIMx, which comes complete with ArchiCAD 17, allows users to create view only portable ArchiCAD models which can then be viewed and navigated on your desktop or laptop computer, saved in BIMx format (.bimx) to make them compatible with BIMx applications for iPad and other mobile devices, or viewed outside of the ArchiCAD application by using the free BIMx Viewer. They can then be shared with other ArchiCAD users at BIMx.graphisoft.com.
The purpose is to allow non-technical or non ArchiCAD users to view and interact with 3D models to a limited extent. It enables them to visualise the structure as clients or potential users, to see how it will look at different times of the year or day, to plan interior fittings, take measurements, comment on materials and so on - but not to make edits or changes to the model. You are, after all, creating a view only model here, and the above applies to similar applications from other developers.
Once you have saved a model in BIMx file format, you can't then go and edit the 3D model or the surface materials in it. You have to go back to the original model in ArchiCAD, edit that, and then create another BIMx file.
There is another small caveat. As there were substantial changes in the upgrade from ArchiCAD 16 to ArchiCAD 17 that effected the BIMx file format, projects created in BIMx format from the later version can't be read by BIMx in ArchiCAD16.
When you set out to create a walk-through from the model there are a couple of options available to you. You can create a project giving the viewer free access to the entire model, which they can then navigate at will, take measurements, interrogate features, or you can create fly-through paths using cameras as gallery items, and limiting navigation to the views and clips you have saved to the gallery. You can either stitch all camera shots into one movie or launch a separate movie for each camera/gallery item.
If you are using the free BIMx Viewer you can't modify the model, save the file in any form, record a new camera path, or add a view to a gallery. You can't initialise Global Illumination either, but you can, if the BIMx model has been initialised, use the Global Illumination render mode.
As you are intending to create as realistic a viewing experience as you can on a variety of devices, from workstations to handheld - even iPhones - the BIMx model has to be optimised to suit the viewer. If there are going to be communication limitations for your intended audience, or you find you are having memory problems trying to initialise Global Illumination during editing, then you can reduce file sizes by eliminating unnecessary model components - furniture, GDL objects like door handles, etc. A single chair, for instance, requires more memory than all the walls in a project.
BIMx supports a number of texture types in a variety of formats - jpg, bmp, tif, png etc. - plus alpha channel texture effects. For the latter to be detected inside BIMx, though, you have to enable transparency in the ArchiCAD material or texture properties; but the algorithms invoked to do this may have a significant impact on performance.
Shadows are a critical element of a scene and are rendered using the OpenGL ARB-shadow extension, which works by rendering the sunlit scene into a texture map, which is then projected onto the screen, where OpenGL determines whether a pixel is in shadow or not. Larger texture maps produce better shadows with the highest quality being determined by the memory size of your graphics card. If the model is too big, or the car to small, the model may lose some of your artifacts!
As realism is all about how well a model is rendered Graphisoft provides a number of options, and it is worth looking at each in some depth to appreciate the quality of different types of realism (you have to think about that statement) that can be achieved.

Citic Securities Co. is down 6% on Monday in Hong Kong after it was announced on the weekend it would buy brokerage firm CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, called "an insane asylum" by its chief executive.
Government-backed Citic said Friday it will pay $1.25 billion to acquire CLSA from France's Credit Agricole SA in two stages, the first takeover of a foreign brokerage by a Chinese company.

Skip to comments.Atheists' road signs attack faiths of Romney, Obama ahead of Democratic convention
Posted on 08/22/2012 9:10:12 AM PDT by Zakeet
Just as the city of Charlotte, N.C., gears up to host the Democratic National Convention, an atheist group is mounting a billboard campaign attacking the religious faiths of President Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney.
The signs, paid for by American Atheists Incorporated (AAI) and appearing along keylocal highways, include messages such as: "Christianity: Sadistic God, Useless Savior" and "Mormonism: Magic Underwear, Baptizes Dead People, Big Money, Big Bigotry." AAI President David Silverman told FoxNews.com the signs are aimed at keeping religion and politics separate as the convention gets under way Sept. 3.
Other faiths, including Judaism and Islam, were spared because the billboards are designed to attack GOP nominee Mitt Romney, a Mormon, and President Obama, a Christian, according to AAI. They will remain up for a month, and cost Silverman's group $15,000.
"We chose Christianity and Mormonism for these billboards because those are the religious faiths of the two presumed candidates for president," said Amanda Knief, managing director for American Atheists "The president of the United States is in a position to make life-changing decisions for all Americans. We believe it is perfectly reasonable to ask whether each candidate will choose to follow his religious faith or the U.S. Constitution when making those decisions."
But the ads have proved to be offensive to some.

We'd like to go after what Obama really believes in ... but those crazy Muzzies would kill us!
More Liberal coarse sordiness.
I guess this is just THEIR way of expressing their 'tolerance' for diversity!
Obama is NO Christian!
When atheists go after muslims, I concern myself with what an atheist thinks.
I like it. People here will associate the billboards with Democrats, just as they'll associate the nuisance and traffic and noise and filth with Democrats, and fewer will vote for Democrats.
Ah, interesting sign. The Canadian who was adopted by the Kenyans to be their village idiot, who is in reality an Indonesian prince by adoption, now serving as the democrats lastest enabling lying fraud criminal black person. And he isn't anything but a Canadian who is getting away with massive fraud as the ultimate in affirmative action madness.
As to atheists...Jahn Adams wrote to his wife..."That's their problem".
The slur "Magic Underwear" to me anyways after I have learned more about mormonism is aking to calling a kippah a "Magic Beanie" or a Rosary a "Magic Necklace"...
But they dare not say those things because then we would all realize the atheists are bigots.
Sounds like hate crimes to me.
When Atheists push their beliefs on others and try to convert God fearing people to their beliefs then Atheism has become a religion.
The Atheists who practice this are soul less fools who are headed down the path to darkness. They are just to damn stupid to see it because they don't believe in evil or good.
Sickness has rotted their minds.
Catholics to not wear Rosaries around the neck.
Typically they are carried in a case in the pocket or purse.
They sure know how to win over a crowd huh?
How utterly stupid.
My tagline says it, but I'll say it here: Science puts you on the moon, atheism puts you in the gulag.
Atheism has killed more people in one century than all religions have in the previous 59.
It would be terrific fun to join an atheist group, and suborn their leadership into protesting at mosques.
We are missing an opportunity here.
An even more singular strategic misstep on our part is failure to actively incite Muslim attention and reactionary offense against the Left.
What stops us from false flag operations here? If there is a rally of collectivists on an issue that we oppose, why tpare we not organizing Muslims to counterprotest? It is a simple matter to print flyers and post them.
Set the dogs against each other. The resulting violence will reduce the political viability of their respective messages; distract from interference with our work; and provide ample Schadenfreude to accompany the public spectacle.
Every patriot should ensure that the local mosque leadership is prodded into responsive street theater. I have low confidence in the civil conduct of our ideological adversaries. We are abrogating our capacity to drive the spear by abandoning opportunities presented.
"AAI President David Silverman told FoxNews.com the signs are aimed at keeping religion and politics separate as the convention gets under way Sept. 3."
Oh, THAT's what the idea was! Silly me, I thought it was just to intentionally and crudely insult people of faith.
Ah, know. mormonism teaches that the undergarments are in fact magic.
When have Rosary beads and/or Yamakas been considered magic?
While the CROSS is an offense to many; apparently even to MORMONs.
It's GARMENT!!!

Guess what MORMONs say about CHRIATIANITY!!
Is MORMONism buying insurance?
Galatians 5:15
0 swept the atheist vote. They know.
I've yet to read a recent news report or seen video evidence of Mormons butchering young people by sawing their heads off.
My point is that we are missing an opportunity to set the opposition to infighting, on a scale sufficient to draw massive attention to the innate cowardice of the Left and the brutality of Islam.
Which is why I don't have the slightest problem with Mormons or their religion. All religions & cultures are not equal. Some are civilized, and others aren't.
Morals? Just a thought.
That is a fair question.
It would be appropriate to say that I am not advocating unlawful incitement between our adversaries; rather skillful redirection of their intention upon each other where it more naturally ought to rest.

Call your local salvage yard 8/10 yards will tell you that there is no warranty on electronical parts. Why?
1. Lets say your ac/heater control that you are REPLACING was damaged because of an electrical short that YOU or your MECHANIC missed, and if you install our part and that short causes our part to go bad is that the salvage yards fault?
2. Every part that leaves our yard is a known good part. It has been tested and works. This is a 10+ year old vehicle and part. It is USED and will not be "in like new condition" as you obviously was expecting.
According to my CRM system provided by www.leadmaster.com, you had opened a total of 3 emails and with every single email, including your "Order Confirmation" and "Order Shipped" emails that are sent for example, have our Terms of Sale at the very bottom of each one. IF you want or whoever wants to, I will be more than happy to send a copy.
I wanted to put this on here, just so everyone can see my side of the story. I just called Nextiva who is our provider of phone serivice and I pulled your file and the dates we spoke with the phone number that my phone connected to, and requested the 1-3 conversations from first to last, be transcribed into a word document, and I will also load that on here if and when I get the information I had recieved, so yourself, and everyone can see that I told you that "electronical parts do not have any warranty's"
Feel free to call anytime. The last thing I will allow to happen, is you give me and my company a bad name in which we dont deserve because we work hard every day to provide the best service we can to our customers. That paint, could have been easily removed, in fact, if you want to send that part back here, I will have it professionally removed and re conditioned just to prove I was not trying to rip you off, which is the purpose of this website.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

The Celtics bought the No. 53 pick in the 2013 NBA draft to get Colton Iverson out of Colorado State, and he thanked them by allowing them to keep his rights the last three years.
Iverson rejected the required tender – a one-year contract, surely unguaranteed at the minimum, teams must extend to retain exclusive negotiating rights to a second-round pick – year after year to sign overseas. Accepting the tender would've likely meant Iverson going to Boston's training camp and getting waived. Perhaps, the timing of that would've limited his European options that year. But it would've made him an NBA free agent – or, best-case scenario, he could've made the Celtics and drawn an NBA paycheck.
As it was, Iverson limited himself to joining Boston and only Boston. If another NBA team wanted Iverson, it would have had to trade for him.
And what does Iverson get for that loyalty? A Celtics contract with at least a partial guarantee?
Just a head start on finding another team – which he could've gotten for himself three years ago.
Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe:
This is why second-round picks should be more aggressive about accepting the required tender. Even if you get waived, you open NBA options.
Iverson is a strong 7-foot center who plays with physicality. He can help in certain matchups, and he'd make sense as a third center on teams that have first- and second-stringers playing a different style.
But Iverson is 27, and his NBA window may be closing if it hasn't already.
It's a shame he spent so many years beholden to Boston, which didn't want him.
It was probably just courtesy of the Celtics to renounce his rights now rather than have him sign the tender. They would have guaranteed him no money with the tender, and they could have gotten a few minor benefits with it – an extra body for training camp, the ability to assign his D-League rights to their affiliate after waiving him and the slightest chance he impresses enough in the preseason to hold trade value.
But them forgoing those potential advantages, even if out of courtesy, also sends a signal about how little they value him. Teams don't do these types of favors for players they actually covet.
Ball movement. Threes. Circus shots. Smack talk to opposing benches.
The Golden State Warriors were entertaining to watch on their way to 73-wins and a return trip to the NBA Finals. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and the entire cast know how to put on a show. So take a couple minutes on an August Friday and check out their top 10 plays from last season.
Durant, Oklahoma, is a city of just more than 15,000 people in the southern part of the state. It is the capital of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, and it was named after its Choctaw founder, Dixon Durant.
But some people in Oklahoma are not high on the name Durant, lately. Kevin Durant decided to bolt the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Golden State Warriors this summer, and some Thunder fans feel betrayed. Understandably. Durant was well within his rights, but if you're a Thunder fan and you're not hurt by this it would be strange.
Still, you have to hope what follows is satire. It reads like it.
Oklahoma's Ryan Nazari created a Change.org petition asking the city of Durant be renamed the city of Westbrook. As in Russell Westbrook. The guy who signed a contract extension to stay in Oklahoma (for just one extra year, but still). Read the petition below and tell me it doesn't sound like satire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the great state of Oklahoma has been betrayed. As many of you know, Kevin Durant has left our state, torn out our hearts, and left our beloved Oklahoma City Thunder in depleted shape. All of this after even being offered a cabinet position for the State of Oklahoma. It is because of this heinous action that I believe the State of Oklahoma has a responsibility to change the name of the City of Durant to Westbrook, the man who is loyal, whom we believe in, and who will lead our team to glory. Yes, it is understood that the city Durant was not named after the evil Kevin Durant, but it is just another hideous reminder of what happened to our community."
As of this writing, he had reached his goal of having more than 1,000 people sign on.
Maybe it's satire, but it's more creative than burning a jersey.
Obviously, the name of the city is not changing. If people want to live in Westbrook, they should move to Maine.
Let's start with the obvious: This is an exercise in futility. There is no way to predict accurately what the 2020 USA men's basketball team headed to the Tokyo Olympics will look like. There will be injuries that sideline guys. There will be contract situations where key guys decide it's in their best interest to sit out. Plus, there could be a guy just now entering his junior year of high school who we don't know well yet but in four years will be a clear choice for the team.
Now that we've gotten through the tedious disclaimer, let's have fun:
What will the 2020 USA Basketball team look like?
First, it will have a bit of a business attitude — Gregg Popovich is coaching now. Not that Mike Krzyzewski ran a college party Team USA, far from it, but with Popovich's demeanor and the scare put into the 2016 team (and some improving world powers, such as Canada), expect the USA to be a little more focused next time around.
For the roster, who from the 2016 gold medal team in Rio returns for more gold? At the top of the list: A 31-year-old Kevin Durant will be back for one more run (and to climb on top of the USA Olympic scoring list). He will be the unquestioned team leader. The alpha. It will be his team.
After that? Young stars who want one more go at it such as Paul George, DeMarcus Cousins, DeAndre Jordan, and Klay Thompson will seriously consider a return. Maybe Jimmy Butler. Those guys will have a leg up having Olympic experience and a commitment to the program.
After that, some big names that passed on Rio are going to suit up in Japan. There will be far less defection of top talent this time around — the fears around Brazil will be gone, and NBA players wanting to sell more shoes in Asia will be eager to sign up. I expect you will see Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Russell Westbrook, and maybe James Harden decide they are in for the next round. LeBron James said he felt left out and may consider a return, but he will be 35 years old with 17 NBA seasons on his body by that point, does he want to put his body through an international curtain call? Probably not.
Rounding out the roster, expect a few guys from this year's USA Select Team — the team the Olympic squad practiced against in Las Vegas at the start of camp — to make the leap up (as Kyrie Irving and others did this year).
Who? That's the hardest thing to predict, it depends on development. Guys to watch include Victor Olidipo, Justise Winslow, Devin Booker, Brandon Ingram, and Jabari Parker — some of them will be ready to make the leap.
One clue to the 2020 roster: Players that you see in China for the 2019 FIBA World Cup will be more likely to make the 2020 team. (Yes, the World Championships are now the year before the Olympics, welcome to more of FIBA's wisdom, as is the fact the Cup qualifiers fall during the NBA/Euroleague seasons.) Guys from the select team now that head to China in three years and perform well in that setting will likely have the USA across their chest in Japan.
Whatever team we send will have the most talent in those games. The question is will that be enough?

Hi Folks,
I had someone set up WordPress Modularity Lite as a child theme for me a while back and I can't get in touch with that person any more. I'm trying to maintain the same aspect ratio for my photographs in the thumbnails. Currently all my thumbs are square which is obviously no use if I shot a portrait image.
I should point out that I am very much a novice at working with this, I did search the forum and came up with some advice but it was years old and didn't work for me. Any advice would be very much appreciated but please understand I am not so wise to this so if you can keep your replies in laymans terms it will get me moving.
Thanks a million in advance.

Ukrainian opposition activists bring 365 roses to Tymoshenko
KHARKIV - Leaders of the United Opposition have brought 365 white roses for Ukraine's ex-prime Yulia Tymoshenko to mark the number of days she has spent in jail and at Kharkiv hospital.
"Today we came to support Yulia, to say that she is not just a strong personality, not just a beautiful woman, but a real Ukrainian woman, not broken, and we are together with her today. We have 365 white roses here. She has been in prison for 365 days, and I sincerely believe that we will be giving roses to one another and to Yulia Volodymyrivna only on big holiday occasions, and that these are the last roses in relation to her imprisonment," the Front for Change leader Arseniy Yatseniuk told reporters in Kharkiv.
Although the opposition leaders who have arrived in Kharkiv have no permission for a personal meeting with Tymoshenko, as parliamentarians they are entitled to unhindered access to prison grounds and people held in custody, he said.
"We will carry these roses as far as the last police checkpoint," the politician said.
An Interfax-Ukraine correspondent said that the flowers for Tymoshenko were handed to the security guard. Tymoshenko's supporters, who gathered outside the hospital, launched red and white balloons into the sky in front of the window of Tymoshenko's ward.
Other opposition leaders who came to Kharkiv were Civil Position leader Anatoliy Hrytsenko, Popular Rukh of Ukraine leader Borys Tarasiuk, Reform and Order leader Serhiy Sobolev, former interior minister Yuriy Lutsenko's wife Iryna, Tymoshenko's defense attorney Serhiy Vlasenko and MP Serhiy Pashynsky.
Tymoshenko is undergoing a course of treatment at a hospital in Kharkiv.

My story is very simular though it would take me forever to list all the details.
Basically Richard sold us a Range Rover which he roled back the mileage on, he rebuilt the transmission on it and lied when we asked about this before we purchased it, it had major fuel line leaks that he temporarly sealed with putty, which I had to pull over because an officer informed me I was at very High risk of my vehicle catching on fire. The rims were so bent (we discoverd this when we had a flat on the tires he was supposed to replace before he sold it to us. National Tire would not replace the tire on the rim because it was agains state law. There is so much more..this man takes parts from other Ranger Rovers he has and replaced them on the cars he is selling just to get them out the door. I have found out he is not allowed to be selling vehicles in the state of texas because of prior offenses. He has conned two Spurs players as well they purchased two high end vehicles, Richard Bakke commite fraud when he collected the tax on these vehicles and pockets it..basicaly for example he sold a vehicle at 100,000, but when he went to get the title transferred etc he claimed he sold it for half the price in order to keep the tax money, if that makes any sense...he was convicted on this and was ordered not to sell cars in the state of texas. He did this to us as well...we paid a large amount on tax but when we received our paper work he claimed he sold it for less than what we gave him.
I want to put this man in jail....I have so much information to be able to do this, just need the credibility of others that have been hurt by this ruthless man. He is not worried about being sued because he has so many liens agains him, one will not see the money they are owed. But one thing is he can be put in jail...Please please contact me I am not sure how to leave my contact info, but I am really eager to speak to the person that posted their story before mine. vendila_tennant@yahoo if that helps..I simply made that email up in hopes someone will contact me to discuss persuing this further. Please excuse my rambling while telling my story, it might not be as clear and descriptive as I would like it to be, but I just hope it helps someone. This man is a complete fraud and has other business helping him commit his crimes. If you want to report him to the DMV do not report him locally as he has friends that work there, you must report him to the Austin, Texas location.

False Statements
AUTHOR: richard - (USA)

I am writing in response to this report.First of all we purchased the car from auction.Upon inspection we noticed the transmittion had an issue.Instead of selling it with a potential problem we addressed the problem and sold the vehicle with a 12 month warranty on the transmittion.Secondly I have signed odometer statements from where we purchased the vehicle and when we sold the the vehicle.This is clearly a false statement.As with every sale we suggest that the buyer have the vehicle checked over by a mechanic of their choice.The buyer test drove the car extensively before the purchase.If there was a bent wheel,of which the wheels are aluminium,it would have been very obvious.A fuel leak was never mentioned.If there had been a previous repair it was not done at our shop.This was never mentioned.Twenty years ago I had an employee who we caught forging signatures and embezzeling from the business.She was found guilty and prosecuted.I have been in the car business for 30 years.Always right here.I offer our customers the choice of new or used parts on repair.We specialize in Land Rovers.They are expensive to repair and we give our customers an option.I have hundreds of customers that I have taken care of for years and now am servicing their families.A few repeat customers have purchased as many as 15 vehicles from me.We have a cliental from some of the most prominent people in San Antonio and all over the country.

Richard we came back to you within a week of purchasing the piece of junk!! People he also has his vehicles for sale on ebay, a gentleman posted on there that he waa sold a Mercedez with roled back miles. His business name is also now listed under his secretary's name because he is not allowed to sell cars in the state of texas. If you buy a car from him you will notice it is nit his signature om the forms. People, his fraudulent practices are being watch by authorities, in no time.... Soon enough theu will build a big enough case to put this many in jail and forever out of business.
