Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because exposure to natural sunlight allows your skin to manufacture it naturally. If you spend a lot of time indoors' taking a vitamin D supplement like D3 1000 Chewable by Seroyal might be a good idea.
Every D3 1000 Chewable tablet provides 1'000 IU (international units) of cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)' which is the same form of vitamin D produced by the human body. As a result' it may provide some support for strong bones and teeth by promoting calcium absorption. In addition' vitamin D could also work to encourage healthy muscle and nerve function.
The natural blackcurrant flavor adds a hint of tart sweetness that makes D3 1000 Chewable tablets suitable for a wide variety of palates.
Adults and children over the age of four can take one vegetarian tablet daily. At the recommended dosage' each 120-tablet bottle of Seroyal's D3 1000 Chewable should last for about four months.

I (Jared Miller) and my friend (Matthew Weston) had come up with a crazy idea to create a climbing route on a tree which will be LEADABLE!!! Yes... LEADABLE. Who ever thought that you would lead a tree! We have been working long and hard to establish this project, it is one of a kind and we are almost FINISHED!
We have made 2 routes so far and are just finishing off the last few bolts.
OK... I have decided on grades ... Firstly the easier one, which is 10m in hight and slightly overhanging \"Feel the pull\", felt its about a 19. Then theres \"Twited Gravity\" which is about 6m in hight and very overhanging. I gave it a grade of 7c;7c+ (will be difficult for shorties), difficult crux!
We expect to finish completly within the next 2 weeks, and more info will be posted soon! But for now here is a pic.
Please post me your thoughts about this idea
One of a kind tree climbing!

Hey guys, this tree is not damaged will nails and bolts everywhere, as you guys may be thinking, if you look at it it really doesn't stand out, you dont notice the routes, our goal was to keep the tree as clean as possible and to least damage it. I believe the tree is a Tipuana
and not sure if its an alien or not.
and not sure if its an alien or not.
The one route can be lead with slings. Initially thats what we were doing. But then we thought, wouldn't it be cool if there where bolts. I imagined looking at the tree with all the draws in... LOOKS AWSOME. Besides the hard route needs bolts. Ok... How did I put them in the tree? Firstly, I took a 1 meter steel threaded rod and cut 12cm pieces from it. I drilled 10 cm holes in the tree where the bolts are to be placed, leaving 2 centimeters for the hanger and nut. I used a special strong glue and glued them in. It takes 24 hours to dry and even then we didnt climb on them. I wanted to give it a month, so that the tree grows around it properly and holds it. So far this is only one bolt i have done (for testing purposes). We took fair falls on it and it did not budge or make any funny noises. And to be safe, the distance between each bolt is no more than 2 meters.
I used coach screws. That is, a screw with a thick thread and hex head. Recomend drilling a pilot hole or you will not get the screw fully in before the head twists off.
You could also use some large nails I sapose.
I do wonder what tree sap would do to a bolt, nail or screw. Might even presurve them.

So I'd thought I'd post up my Jango Blaster build.
I was finally able to upgrade from the Rubies toys to some great resin blasters. Thanks Cruzer!.
I used a generic Walmart Chrome rattle can paint and for you war gaming geeks out there some Citadel chainmail paint for the handles. I used Testors Gold paint for all the accents.
Let me know what you all think. Any input would be great cause I still have blaster #2 to to this weekend.
Here is a Comparison of the Toys and the Resin ones...the Resin on top toy on the bottom:

When a child is raised in poverty they suffer both publicly and privately.
When there is no food in the refrigerator, no electricity nor heat, these are hardships that they can keep hidden from their peers.
But, when that same child can't afford to pay for the band field trip, a pair of glasses, a chorus outfit or a new pair of shoes, these are indignities that are evident to their classmates. The public embarrassment can potentially affect school attendance, class performance, and the child's self-esteem.
Alice's Kids pays for these relatively inexpensive items in the hopes of preserving the dignity of the child.
We believe that a little help can go a long way.

Banner grabbing with netcat
I am currently using netcat (but it could be telnet, sbd, etc) to do some banner grabbing. So far, I only find example for HTTP and FTP servers... But what about other services? I poked around and found some more ways of getting information with netcat:
And etc!
So my questions really is: Yes, you can use netcat to connect to every single port and get the banner of well known services. But what about other TCP ports with no obvious response without the proper prompt (like a web server)? We need to provide the service with some precise query parameters. So do you guys know about other data that could be send to a TCP port that doesn't an obvious reply?
I hope you guys understand my question...

Neighbors react to possible meth lab bust
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - People living in one Bethlehem neighborhood say they are shocked after finding out police were going to raid a home that could have been a possible meth lab.
The only problem, there was an explosion in the home before police could serve the search warrant.
Neighbors tells us the owner, Elaine, used a wheelchair to get around and had some financial trouble.
They tell us she rented out rooms to people to make extra money.
Now her home is condemned.
For part of the day Friday, men in Hazmat suits collected a lot of evidence inside of 1965 Greenleaf Street in Bethlehem.
"I never thought this would happen in this neighborhood," said Tony Giannantonio, who lives down the street. "It's scary, very scary."
In a written statement, the Bethlehem Police Department, wrote an investigation into methamphetamine sales led to an individual inside the home.
Three hours before cops were supposed to serve the search warrant, an explosion.
Seven people went to the hospital, five in the home and two Bethlehem police officers.
One person was the owner.
"It's a shame, it's a shame," said another neighbor, Judy Hoffert. "She is a handicap woman. She is in a wheelchair half the time."
"It makes us nervous because we have young children in our home and I was aware that there has been drugs in this home," added another neighbor who didn't want to be identified.
The house has been boarded up and crime scene tape still drapes the from porch.
"I'm afraid of people maybe even coming after you. You don't know how deep this really was."
One neighbor says she is scared, but admits she was close to calling the police just a few months ago.
"What kept me from calling the police was that I really didn't have valid proof. I didn't want to make accusations.
Police haven't made any arrests in the case. They tell us if there are criminal charges they will announce that at a later date.

Nice course, but we are in year 2016 and this course was introduced in year 2010. Therefore, all the research updates in this course in till 2009. May be ACE should consider bringing a new text that accommodates all scientific research till date. Thank you!
Challenging course! Not easy to find the answers to some questions ... had to guess!
The material could use some updating- most of it is 10 years old and doesn't include more recent findings on cholesterol and newer dietary recommendations. Also, it would be great to have more break down of all that is going on in the body. Some of that is there, but I think there could be greater detail.
I appreciated the diagrams and charts in the back and the sections on working with youth and how exercise helps to prevent CHD.
I felt the course material was difficult to study--moving from one research study to another.
I am currently in graduate school for nutrition and a lot of the book is incorrect.The information is dated and does not correlate to the actual science of nutrition.
ACE RESPONSE: Sarah, thank you for your course review. We will be sure to take a look at this course and see where updates need to made.
This was a difficult course and while interesting, I can't imagine that I will have much use for some of the more in depth parts.
Knowledge is never a waste though.
I enjoyed the course. Some of the material is confusing and hard to find the answers. I suggest that the correct answer should be shown at the test results for the ones that were missed. I was clueless to the correct answers to the ones I missed.
Too long and not exactly up to date. Able to answer exam questions as I read the book but there were some diagrams and facts that were not necessary. I am personally not a fan of some of the extra information but that's my opinion. For the most part the information was informative and useful but there was just too much of it. I would recommend the course to someone more interested in the topic though.

I wish Joannie all the best and I hope that if she does indeed compete, she will give two performances to be proud of, regardless of the result. What a terrible thing to cope with during what should have been a wonderful time in her life.

cheap power improvements to the 425...
Since I decided to push the build up on the 425 out of line for this winter project (NorthStar took it's place) I was thinking what I could do to get a little more power from the beast....
my first thoguht is the cat... it's gotta go... my father mentioend something about thee first gen cats having a "drain plug" that you can take out, and the beads inside fall out, kinda like gutting the cat? On his '79 Coupe, he had a test pipe on it.. but I can't seem to find them anymore.... I don't think I could take it to a shop , even though it is now over 25 years old, and there is no emmisions testing... so what would the best thing seem to be?
While under the car, the whole exhuast system seems to be restriced... especailly all the bends going over the rear axel... what is this, 2.5" piping (my 4.9 has 2.5") but I am not messing with the exhaust system now... I was thinking maybe a cheap after market muffler... might flow better? something like $40 or something? also give it a nice tone... but not too loud... would I even benifit form that? or just keep what it has.... Also the resonator... from what i coudl find out, they don't seem to restric the flow of exhaust at all.. do they?
Then it would be some sort of an intake... I bought, and tired to fit a 14" open element on it, but it hit the AC compressor... somebody menitoend about a 1" spacer? should I do that or see if a 9" kit will work (but probably look bad)... also would I gain anything from the open element over the factory air cleaner assembly?
the tune-up I first did on it consisted of:
new air filter
new fuel filter
new spark plugs
oil change
I suppose I should rrepalce the cap&rotor and wires also... just for the extra touch, and maybe even the plugs, although they are new... they are basic AC Delco, $2/each... nothing special (platnium, double tipped etc...) do you think they are ok to keep in there? should I replace the cap/rotor and wires, or leave them? the wires are 8mm Whitiker....
What else can I do for a tune up? I know my carb needs to be rebuilt as it acts funny when the enigne is cold... anything to restore some power?
I do need to change the coolant, as it is really ugly... but that really isn't anything for performance...
my AC dosn't work (leak in the lines) no big deal, but should i remove the AC belt... less rotating mass?
Abotut he carb... here are the problems... when the enigne is cold.. after I first started it, if in park I put my foot to the floor for a second.. it'll sputter, run rough and want t quit... if i drive it.. there is an off-idel dead spot where it'll shutter and have a hard time accelerating, and if the engine is cold enough.... stall out... also until the engine has fully warmed up, if I try to floor it... well, to the point where the secondaires would normally start to open... when it gets to that point, the enigne looses alot of power, the car shakes and shutters, engine RPM really dosn't build, it may back fire, then depenging on how warm the enigne is, either rev up in RPM like normal, or just keep doing that.... maybe a problem witht he secondaires?
Everythign else with the carb is fine, when the engine warms up, there is no delay or anything, runs great... if it hasn't been ran for a day or 2, a cold start can be hard.. I heard all Q-jets have a drip down problem? I pump the gas 3 times, crank it, stop, pump twice then crnak and it'll start... although when warm, it'll start up within a split second of turning the key...
Maybe if the carb is out of adjustment, and I fix it, that coudl improve power and gas millage.... IIRC my father said the caps on the adjustments have been removed, so it is adjustable now...
I am just looking for some cheap ways to tya nd improve the power a little... I know the enigne isn't running how it hould be (well, have the power it should... she runs nice) so maybe I can get some help from the crew

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
I had a similar problem with my 425... The carb probably does need an overhaul, not very much trouble if you are mechanically inclined...the accelerator pump seal you will probably find dry rotted, causing that hesitation, and these fuel pumps have a problem with a check ball to return excess fuel at idle... you should probably throw one of those on, too...they run about $35...also be sure to clean the secondary rods when you have it apart! Let us know how it goes!

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
I was thinking about going ot the local Midas, and saying that the car is over 25 years old, no emmissions testing etc... if they can cut the cat out and put a stright pipe in it.... if he says no, I'll ask about slipping him a $20...
Did it make a nice difference? I would imagine it helping, as the whole exhaust system seems to be restrictive...
... what about using JB Weld to keep a piece of aluminam over the hole?
Also, when you pulled the plug, did the beads just drain, did you have to shake it etc....?

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
Chances are, a "chain-type" muffler shop isn't going to touch it. I've heard there are big fines if they're caught. Best bet would be to find a small local shop or just buy the stuff and do it your self.
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...Originally Posted by lux hauler
but agree start with exhaust make it flow then intake make it flow. the easier you can make air move in an engine the more power you can make
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...Originally Posted by Night Wolf
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
well, I am not looking to spend alot of money for this.. but besides dumping the cat, what else could I do to free up the exhaust? the piping dosn't look too big, but I am not replacing it, as mine is fine... that leaves the muffel and the resonator...
..for intake, maybe I'll try the spacer and get the 14" open element again... I really don't want to spend *alot* of money into the 425 (yet) but just something to make it a little more snappy....
that is true with the chain stores.. there is a local private shop that does exhaust work,t he kid goes ot my school... the only thing i owrry aobut is, they beat the hell out of cars.. customers cars, cars they sell on the lot etc... so I suppose I could just wait there and make sure thing bad happens... I know they woudl do it too...
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
I notice sometimes after running the enigne, or is I stand outside the car while it is running, the exhaust will smell like rotten eggs.... mixture too rich?
Should I bother to replace the cap+rotor, and wires, or no... also are the basic AD Delco plugs good enough for the job for now? they are practically brand new...
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
The rotten egg smell may be indicative of a cat that's already going bad. It might go away after the catalyst beads are gone.
My friend had some exhaust tubing and a perfectly good chrome tip so we cut off the resonator and replaced it with that. It didn't change the sound at all but I never took it on the freeway to see if it increased the drone.
Take a look at the cap and rotor and if any contacts don't look good replace. The plugs should be OK, I mean it won't hurt to change them but it won't do much good. At least visually inspect the wires for cracks, and take a look at them in the dark with it running, if you see any electricity 'leaking' from them it's time for some new wires.
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
hmm, maybe the cat is starting to go... only (almost) 86k, but it is 25 years old....
... the only wear point on the cap was where the finger touches the metal plate.. my father said it is in pretty good shape... no cracks on the wires, nothing strange at night either.... I never heard of the brand... Whitiker (sp?)they are orane and 8mm....
Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
if you wanted to remove the cat you could try getting a couple of 2 and1/2 to 3" clamps along with about 18" peice of pipe and cut that cat off and clamp the pipe on tighten it down should work fine also I replaced my muffler a while ago as the weld had totaly rusted away with a turbo muffler from dynomax but its 3" very open almost straight through sounds excelent with a good low rumble until the secondarys open then it gets loud very loud muffler was only round 40 to 50$ definitly improved the acceleration also replace that cap and ignition coil in there I replaced my cap with one from acdelco along with a ignition coil form acdelco with 8mm wires and plantnum bosch plugs all for under about 60 or 70$ the plugs i think were the most expensive plus get that 14" air cleaner you'll need to get some eltra spacer peices and longer stud but that stock air cleaner has an opening of about 4" whereas the edelbrock is 14" round and 3"high and will definitly let her breath in a lot better also look in to replaceing that carb ABC gets a performance rebuild
Q-jet from a place in california cost around 250$ but works wonders over the factory carb

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
As far as all of this exhaust talk goes, it gave me loads of powr just ripping everything off after the cat. It keeps it quiet enough that police won't immedietly cry no exhaust but it gives the car more snap. The 14"X3" will only take in loads of hot air. Get a later models fuel injection air intake assembly. That will be able to handle a 14X3 K&N and it will get you cold air from the front of the car. No riser is needed either. If you do use the 14X3 assemply and riser make sure to plug the vacuum tube coming out of the original assembly. That caused me really bad timing problems later on. Dist. coils give good power too.

Re: cheap power improvements to the 425...
My cadillacs 1977 425 is a gutless wonder. Im amazed at how i "cruise" up hills in this thing. With the gas pedal about 3/4 on the floor (in 2nd gear going 20mph) it barely holds its speed, and this is a fairly new engine.
When i put it in Low and "floor it" its pretty good untill about 25-30 then its like im towing a school bus behind me, it accelerates faster in 2nd after that than it does in 1st. I busted out my cadillacs service manual, and looking at a cutaway view doesnt give me a suprise as to why this engine is neutered on the top end.
The intake manifold looks like a snake, you can even see the tight bends just by popping your hood.
I do have a muffler and exhaust tip off a 12 liter kennworth diesel, but i think the caddy would drag bottom with either thing. Plus i dont want it to look like a "ricer" (5" 4.5 foot long chromed pipe hanging out)
The easiest route to go would have been to buy that 500 cid on ebay. It had a blower, 8 port nitrous fogger, heavy duty performace connecting rods pistons and all, hot valve cam... but i dont want to blow up my THM400...
Is the 425 cid really this wimpy?
If im lucky enough to find a 425cid or 500cid caddy with fuel injection, and figured out how to hotwire it into my carbureted wiring, would this give it more balls at the top end (past 2000rpm)? I see the fuel injected deville is rated at 190hp, versus the carbureted 180hp. I suppose a die grinder and carefull planning would give the fuel injected manifold more oomph?

At last update!
As I longed, I apologize that I could not have done this in the past but have completely honestly been busy.
I have a large amount of sleevearbaten that must be done before DHW2K12, and it has Sloat down my process for the project when I velar have relatively functional for the event. I hope I can get it together before then, otherwise I just run with my temporary system.
Aja think about it, this may not be a huge update but I would anyway show what I managed to do so far and I hope that you are content with it
What I had to do is put up a temporary rig for the radiators and there are two steps that I use myself out to get all the dust inside and **** from rescuers (on the inside).
I started by getting there a little fittings and connect all the radiators in series.
Besvarar samtidigt en anonym fråga, och svaret är ja moderkortsplåten är lackad på undersidan
The first step is to clean the entire system with warm tap water for 2-3 hours, it is usually enough very well, in the meantime, I took and turned the entire chassis and different directions and shook greatly to get any dirt, metallic particles, solder etc to come off radiator graduated inner walls.
I also made a small clip where I demonstrate how I set up everything:
When this part was top, so to speak, I began part two where I do almost the same thing but now I clear my entire system with distilled water, in order that the oxide does not form inside the radiators but also to get a second thorough review out of it all , here I turned on the case, and shook it in the first part out of the treatment.
What I usually do differently right here is that I use water out of the vacuum cleaner to quickly get out all the water, and I let it on for 1-1.5 hours to ensure that all the water was gone from the radiators.
Overall, I did so myself of 3L distilled water during the whole process and the clip I show with the little I had saved in a small bottle, vacuum cleaner learn to let some but you see what happens anyway.
Here's a small clip on the other part out of cleansing:
As you can see in the pictures it has been almost 90% dry throughout the system and allow it to evaporate the last of the drops, simply as that
That's all for this time
Peace out!

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has overlooked in-form Swansea striker Michu and again omitted Fernando Torres for next week's international friendly with Uruguay in Qatar.
Chelsea striker Torres was also left out of the Spain squad for the friendly with Panama at the end of last year but Michu had been tipped for a possible call-up after netting 16 goals in all competitions for the Swans this season.
Del Bosque admitted it was a tough decision not to give the uncapped 26-year-old a place in his 21-man squad.
He said: "It's left a little bit of a bad taste in the mouth not to call up someone who deserves it. But those who have been named also deserve it.
"We recognise his worth and his goals in the Premier League, but we couldn't find a space for him at the moment.
"The same thing happened with Iago Aspas. I'm honest and don't hide anything. In the position which Michu plays there is great competition with five or six players."
Del Bosque's main striking options for the Uruguay match are Alvaro Negredo and Spain's record goalscorer David Villa, who has been named in the squad despite not being a regular in the Barcelona line-up since returning from his serious leg injury.
Regarding Torres, Del Bosque said: "Torres is one of our most experienced players at international level, but neither could we find a space for him now.
"Villa's case is not comparable with anybody.
"I'm not worried that Villa is only playing a little. Every time he's gone out he's done well. There's a lot of competition in his team. His case is unique; he had a very serious injury, but he's played a very important part in our recent successes."
Torres' Chelsea team-mate Cesar Azpilicueta has been included in the squad and the full-back could be in line to make his first Spain appearance against Uruguay.
It is a similar story for uncapped midfielder Isco, was has been called up on the back of some impressive performances for Malaga.
Carles Puyol, who has not played for his country since last February due to injury, is also in the travelling party and would make his 100th appearance for the world and European champions if he takes the field in Doha.
Captain and goalkeeper Iker Casillas misses the match due to a broken hand, while recent call-ups Jesus Navas, Roberto Soldado, Raul Albiol, Benat Etxebarria, Martin Montoya, Markel Susaeta and Javi Martinez have all been omitted.
Del Bosque said: "I know it's a friendly game and that we could have experimented more but we need to use this match as a preparation game, because in March we face two very difficult games.
"We have to treat it with the utmost seriousness, because we are also facing an opponent in Uruguay who are the South American champions, who reached the World Cup semi-finals and are fighting to qualify for Brazil 2014."
Spain are currently top of their World Cup qualifying group but only on goal difference from France, who they face away in March along with bottom-placed Finland.
Spain squad to play Uruguay in Doha on February 6: Valdes (Barcelona), Reina (Liverpool); Ramos (Real Madrid), Pique (Barcelona), Puyol (Barcelona), Azpilicueta (Chelsea), Alba (Barcelona), Arbeloa (Real Madrid), Monreal (Arsenal); Iniesta (Barcelona ), Fabregas (Barcelona), Busquets (Barcelona), Cazorla (Arsenal), Xavi (Barcelona), Isco (Malaga), Alonso (Real Madrid), Silva (Man City), Mata (Chelsea), Pedro (Barcelona); Negredo (Sevilla), Villa (Barcelona).

Biz improvement zones: A concept that's picking up
Let there be (street) light.
This spring, the streetlights along West Vernor Highway will finally be repaired.
For seven years, the Southwest Detroit Business Association has been working to relight the 2.3-mile stretch of Vernor between Clark and Patton parks. It raised $6.4 million for the project and is awaiting the final signature on the contract so that construction can begin in April.
"This is our largest-ever infrastructure undertaking in the history of the organization," said Theresa Zajac, vice president of the SDBA. "It couldn't happen soon enough. Every year, every month, our small businesses are like, 'When is it going to start?'"
DIY cleanup
The seven-year saga to bring the lights back to Vernor started in 2007, when the 371 commercial property owners along West Vernor, between Woodmere and Clark streets, formed the state's first business improvement district.
These property owners realized that by pooling their money they could clean up the entire street, removing graffiti, picking up trash and sweeping the sidewalks in the heavily immigrant enclave. So they voted to tax themselves $155,000 per year and hired the SDBA to administer the improvement district.
That made them just one of thousands of such groups across the country, but the first in Michigan and still the only business improvement district in the city of Detroit.
Despite the fact that these types of districts have been popular for four decades, Detroit has been slow to embrace the concept. BIDs have been proven to make a difference, according to researchers at the Furman Center for Real Estate & Urban Policy at New York University.
This year, though, the West Vernor BID might lose its title as the city's only such district: The Downtown Detroit Partnership is trying to develop a similar program.
Last week, the DDP announced that it was circulating petitions to commercial property owners in downtown proper — the area surrounded by the three freeways and the Detroit River — in hopes of creating a business improvement zone (BIZ) to handle trash pickup and beautification efforts as well as put safety ambassadors on the street.
Currently, the DDP handles many of those tasks, begging for money from the area's large corporate citizens, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Compuware Corp. and Quicken Loans Inc.
"These services have been paid for by the generosity of a few businesses and organizations, and now it's time to expand," said Dave Blaszkiewicz, president and CEO of the DDP. "We want to bring consistency across the entire district and add some new bells and whistles."
If formed, the downtown BIZ would be the big daddy to the West Vernor's scrappy BID.
For one, the downtown zone has a proposed $4 million annual budget raised from 253 property owners; the West Vernor district, by comparison, has a $155,000 annual budget spread across 371 property owners.
To make the downtown zone real, the DDP needs the vote of about 60 percent of the property owners — excluding nontaxable properties, such as those owned by nonprofit groups and the government. Owner-occupied residential buildings are also excluded, though large apartment buildings are included. The formula is weighted so that larger properties have more of a vote, so a small number of large property owners could sway the outcome.
How much a property owner would pay is based on floor space (60 percent) and assessed value of the property (40 percent), said Eric Wilson, planning and development manager for the DDP.
With that formula, the 30 largest downtown property owners would pay more than 75 percent of the expected annual budget; more than one-third would pay less than $1,000 per year.
Lighting the way
Items like streetlights won't be a prime worry of the downtown business owners, however. Those are kept on through the city's Department of Public Lighting.
But over in the southwest, the lights have been job No. 1. Their absence impacts the success — or failure — of local businesses.
Owners told the SDBA that entire sections of the street were pools of darkness, forcing them to close at dusk because it wasn't safe for their customers.
"This is a Latino neighborhood, and one of the things about Latino families is they often shop as a family," Zajac said. "They all go shopping when dad comes home. So if you don't have lights at night, you lose customers. And they didn't have any lights."
But when Kathy Wendler, president of the SDBA, began looking into the issue, she discovered that Vernor was not on the city's list of streets to repair. There was no money for the project. So the SDBA approached the Michigan Department of Transportation for a grant. MDOT agreed and pledged half of the project's cost, or $3.4 million.
"The West Vernor business district is one of the most viable shopping corridors in the city," said Rob Morosi, communication specialist for MDOT. "This project will improve pedestrian accessibility and safety for a district where business owners continually reinvest in their community and the storefronts are full."
That helped persuade other donors to join in. The city of Detroit eventually put up $1 million, as did the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments. The Kresge Foundation added $500,000 to the pot, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation gave $250,000. J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. added another $200,000. The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan delivered $60,000, while Detroit LISC gave $50,000. Still, SDBA must raise another $400,000 to meet its goal.
Regardless, construction will go on, with the anticipated break-ground date of early April.
That's good news for small businesses in the area such as Aranda's Tires, which has three locations in southwest Detroit. The Lopez family has owned the business since 1987, specializing in tires and tricked-out rims as well as alignments, brakes and more. They keep a security guard on round the clock, but they see the streetlights as a huge advantage for the neighborhood.
"The big thing is vandalism," said Fernando Lopez, the shop's manager. "The more light, the less vandalism. The more light, the more safety."
"There is no copper," said Zajac. "There's nothing to strip."
Street smarts
The timing on the lights is fortuitous for the southwest association because state law requires the property owners to reauthorize the district this September. Construction on the lights starts in April and is scheduled to wrap up in November.
Wendler is positive about the future of the West Vernor & Springwells Business Improvement District, but she still knows she has to remind the people of the organization's value. Last year, it hauled 500,000 gallons of trash from trash cans and another 36,000 gallons from the street. It removed 1,257 instances of graffiti, swept 644 miles of sidewalk and mowed 60 miles of grass.
Plus, it hires off-duty Detroit Police Department officers to actually walk the streets.
The campaign to renew the BID is heading into full swing just as the downtown group is pushing through to an anticipated vote by property owners in April.
Anything could happen, but both groups are optimistic about their chances. Blaszkiewicz has a good sense of the odds: He saw a similar proposal go sideways in 2003 when a few of downtown's large property owners balked.
But to his mind, a decade has made all the difference.
"We had 80 percent vacancy then," he said. "Think about what property owners were facing in 2003 ... it's very different than today. Instead of catching them on the downswing, we are catching it on the upswing. And there is greater cooperation among the big companies."
BCBSM is one of those cooperating companies. It's standing behind the business improvement zone as a way to continue downtown's evolution.
"The efforts to continue the momentum of the great things happening in Detroit and the downtown area will be supported by this effort," said Tricia Keith, senior vice president, corporate secretary and services for BCBSM. "Providing a clean, safe and inviting downtown is the overall goal, and the BIZ is a key tool to help enable that."
But first, there are the steps toward government approval. The downtown proposal has to get enough signatures to move forward to a public hearing and review by the Detroit City Council and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr.
After that, the issue would go to a vote of the eligible property owners — most likely by April.
That same month, about three miles away, the Vernor streetlights will start to go back on.

Giants resign the following free agents
Carr - Why not?
Devin Thomas
Goff - have not heard his name mentioned at all, would take pressure off needing new mlb
Terrell Thomas
Justin Tryon
Rocky Bernard had ok year last year as #3 DT
Would love to resign Manningham to keep the dynamic offense in place, but he may be to expensive as the #3 option, considering we will have to pay Cruz and Nicks soon.
Other teams FA
An experienced TE, just in case Christian Hopkins is not ready. Hopkins caught a lot of passes in college and may be the ultimate answer.
one experienced o lineman
Steve Smith?.
DRAFT - just a projection
I could see the Giants getting as many as two comp picks a 5 and a 7 maybe. So here goes.
1. Mark Barron Safety. It seems the Giants often times draft a player in the early rounds with the idea of using him in the second year. Kenny Phillips is a FA next year. Antrel Rolle is way overpaid. Deon Grant will not be here in two years and peobably not next year. Sash and Chad Jones hopefully can contribute. He may be gone by the time we pick, but i have seen mocks with him going anywhere from 22-40. If he is gone maybe Coby Fleener and get rid of Beckham who is out anyway.
2. Chandler Jones DE. Another player who could be gone. Replace Osi next year.
3. Brandon Moseley OT Auburn
4. A.J. Jenkins wr Illinois
5A Davin Meggett RB Maryland son of Dave
5B.Kevin Koger TE Michigan
6. Ron Brooks CB LSU
7A. Najee Good MLB WVU
7B. Scott Wedige C Northern Illinois

We stayed for 5 days and booked two rooms. We got the same room as the one described. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen has many stuffed so you can cook there although although there are many good restaurants nearby. The place is well located near Brick lane market and Spitalfield market. You can enjoy some good shooping and especially if you like vintage clothes. The apartment needs to be refurbished, especially the floor and the toilet seat inside the bathroom is not convenient. Hester, please restrict this apartment to Non smoking only. We had a guest who smoked in the living room in the morning!!
clean, nice and comfortable apartement. You share bathroom and kitchen with other travellers, but it´s easy working and everyday clean! And the location is just perfect, very central! I recommend it a lot!! Thanx Hester!!
Small apartment in busy street, but once inside it is quiet. Everything is clean and correct. Well equipped kitchen.
Petit logement dans rue très passante, mais une fois à l'intérieur c'est calme. Tout est propre et correct. Cuisine bien équipée.
The apartment is in good condition and I was very pleased to find the place clean and with all you need for an enjoyable stay in London. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had some teas and coffees to help yourself.
Very nice apartment.
After writing to cnfirm our next day arrival, Hester emailed back to say there was a double booking and she's have to find us another room. Shock! Another hotel was found and it worked out in the end. Hester was sorry and we hope to stay there another time
The room is very well placed, 10 min walk to reach the metro and 10 minutes from metro to central London. The apartment is clean, damaged some places, but very suitable to spend a few days in London. Damage that the host does not live there, I would have liked to share and chat with the head!
La chambre est très bien placée, 10 min de marche pour rejoindre le metro, et 10 min de métro pour rejoindre le centre de Londres. L'appartement est propre, quelques endroits abimés, mais convient très bien pour passer quelques jours à Londres.
Dommage, que l'hote n'habite pas sur place, j'aurai aimé partager et papoter avec l'habitant!
It was a perfect place to spend a cheap holiday in London. The home is very nice and cosy. Furthermore, there is the possibility to use the kitchen as you like. The room is welcoming with all you eed. Also the staff is very nice and kind, and make you feel home.
Finally, from the house you can reach the centre of London and where you want very easily by tube or bus.
I recommend it to every one! Really is perfect to enjoy your stay in London!
Very nice trip to London, and a very convenient appartement. Useful kitchen and free service internet have been appreciated by myself.
I recommend this room.

A couple whose signature was forged onto a real estate document by a Coromandel agent are pleased he has been found guilty of forgery.
John Lloyd, from Tairoa, continues to deny he forged the document and then relied on it to enforce a contract.
The Real Estate Disciplinary Tribunal was yet to penalise Mr Lloyd, but he could face a $750 fine.
The complainants, Colleen and Grant Calder, said they were pleased with the outcome of the tribunal's decision, and it was one they had expected.
In 2006 Mr Lloyd met the Calders, who were interested in buying a semi-detached townhouse his company was building, according to the tribunal.
The proposal was that the Calders would work with Mr Lloyd on a design before buying the land and unit from him.
Mr Lloyd prepared a memorandum of understanding (MoU) and emailed it to the Calders.
In his email, Mr Lloyd described the MoU as a document to "document past discussions, record the present and future outcomes for us both".
He suggested the Calders pay him $10,000 on the signing of the MoU.
However, Mrs Calder told the tribunal she did not like the terms of the MoU. She and her husband opted not to sign it, and paid him $5000.
In March 2008 the couple agreed to a design of the property and were told a resource consent had been obtained.
They entered into an agreement for sale and purchase, but differences arose between the parties and the Calders found out a resource consent had not been granted.
They cancelled the agreement in October 2008.
The couple were then sent a copy of the MoU by Mr Lloyd's lawyer, with a note that said: "You failed to make any mention in the Memorandum of Understanding signed sometime in May 2007."
A copy of the MoU was produced, which showed initials of all parties on page 2.
The Calders denied they had signed the page, and in 2011 complained to the Real Estate Agents Authority (REAA).
The authority sent the document to a forensic document examiner who found the initials were probably forged.
Mr Lloyd denied he had forged the documents, and said if he had, he would have ensured the agreement was signed on every page, not just the second page.
The tribunal found Mr Lloyd guilty of one count of forging the initials, and said "agents of good standing would objectively consider the forgery by an agent of initials on a document as disgraceful conduct".
Mr Lloyd was charged with a second count of forging the couple's initials on the Agreement for Sale and Purchase.
However, the Calders did not believe the initials were meant to be theirs and the charge was dismissed.
Another charge relating to Mr Lloyd wrongly telling Mrs Calder a resource consent had been granted did not meet the threshold for disgraceful conduct and was dismissed because there was no real estate work involved in the transaction.
Mr Lloyd told APNZ he was innocent but could not afford a High Court appeal against the decision.
"We categorically deny everything, but we just haven't got the grunt to fight the people who have got the money to fight it."
No criminal charges had been laid against Mr Lloyd, and it was up to the Calders to complain to police if they wanted to, an REAA spokeswoman said.
The tribunal has asked for submissions about the penalty Mr Lloyd could face.
* Ordering an agent's licence to be cancelled or suspended.
* Ordering their employment be terminated and that no agent employ or engage them in real estate agency work.
* Imposing a fine of up to $15,000 for an individual, or up to $30,000 for a company.
* Ordering they pay the complainant up to $100,000 compensation for actual loss.

The Fault in Our Stars
Book Review by: ekp
Status: Finished
Genre: Other
Ok this is one of those books that really changed my life so i guess you could say that this whole review is a opinion:) Anyways... PLOT.
Our main character here Hazel has cancer, and has a mother who forces her to go to support groups. One day Mr. Augustas Waters comes to one. He isnt sick but hes there for a friend and i guess you could say that the two of them hit it off:)
I loved Hazel a lot. She shows great strength but also times when she admits to needing help. Hazel is very considerate of all the people that are around her, making time for them but also not getting too attached. Gus (another main) is funny all around, hes always making jokes which isnt something i expected to find in a cancer book. He has amazingly great tste when it comes to the people hes friends with NO LOSERS hah. Issac is another character i loved. Again he brings a sense of humor to the story but also some reality, seeing as he is about to loose his eye sight.
So i couldnt really say much about the book, because i would have ruined the whole thing, but trust me when i say that it was amazing....U should most likely read this one if u already havent:)

Susan Solomon:
The promise of research with stem cells
Calling them "our bodies' own repair kits," Susan Solomon advocates research using lab-grown stem cells. By growing individual pluripotent stem cell lines, her team creates testbeds that could accelerate research into curing diseases — and perhaps lead to individualized treatment, targeted not just to a particular disease but a particular person.

First off the David CArter Harness is a must as it gives you the three Steering wheel control wires and antenna booster wire. You are going to have to soilder in an resistor in order for it to work other than that easy. Also use version #8 on the SWI as this is for Subaru. Main power wire run through grommet under intercooler into cabin.
Alpine INA-W900BT w/Japan parts dash panel:
(Iso mount with modified cage) I had to modify the stock cage to fit to the Alpine ISO-Mount, had to elongate the bottom holes to get the stock cage to fit.
I used the Installations Garage 18-gauge speaker wire EZ-wire w/remote wire to install to David Carter harness:
Used the Subaru IPOD box toreplace the stock box as this uses a regular USB connector on back (looks stock) from David Carter:
Car was stripped of carpet and seat and dash:

Here are two not-so-sweet facts to contemplate:
- We all know we should "eat less sugar." Yet sugar and its ubiquitous co-sweetener, high fructose corn syrup, are in so many of the foods crowding our supermarket shelves.
- Most people could not tell you how much sugar they eat each day, or what this sugar intake might be doing to their health.
For some time now, nutritional scientists have known that excessive sugar consumption undermines our health. Just how sugar does this depends on the type of sugar we eat, how much we eat, genetic predispositions to certain conditions, and other factors.
A recent TIME article, "How Sweet Can Become Toxic," highlighted some new research on sugar conducted at the University of Utah and published in Nature Communications. In the study, mice ate a diet approximately equal to our average diet (figuring on about 3 sodas a day) of 25% sugar. 25% sugar is a high amount, but many people might be surprised that their diet falls into this category. After 58 weeks, the sugar-inundated mice had a twice as high mortality rate as the mice who had not been fed this extra sugar. The 25% sugar diet wreaked havoc on their life span.
What's more, the extra sugar significantly affected the male mice, dropping their reproductive rates. Scientists reported that the male mice had a harder time competing in their environment. We know that increased sugar/high fructose corn syrup consumption contributes to obesity, fatty liver conditions, insulin resistance, diabetes risk, and heart health problems, but this report also points to hormonal problems caused by sugar.
The long and short of the new research on sugar is that we are still uncovering what this major part of the Standard American Diet (SAD) does to our overall health and longevity. We have come to understand that cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption will damage our health and shorten our lives, but could sugar be similarly toxic?
Knowledge is Sweet
A big step in managing your and your family's health is to know how much sugar you're eating every day. That's easy, right? Just check the "sugars" line on the back of your food package…right? Unfortunately, no. Other carbohydrates in our foods are processed as sugars in the body, making the "sugars" line only part of the equation.
Here is the new, fool-proof equation you can use to quickly uncover just how much sugar your foods contain:
Total Carbs minus Total Fiber… divided by 5 = Number of teaspoons of sugar
Aim to keep your sugar intake about 10-15 teaspoons a day (do the math and many of us are consuming closer to 30 teaspoons!) by increasing the amount of lean protein, nuts, vegetables, fiber-rich grains/seeds such as flax and chia you eat. And the easiest way to cut down on sugars? Cut way down on processed foods, or the number of foods you buy that come in a box, can, or package.

text: What should I do? This year has been terrible for me thus far with doing cut outs and swarm retrievals. Every time I get a call from a potential client I keep getting under shot on my bid. I can't do cut outs for free! I charge a reasonable $50 an hour. Am I asking to much? I don't think I am seeing all the other beekeepers on here are charging anywhere from $50-$100 per hour to do cutouts. There's not a huge profit margin when charging only $50hr when taking into consideration the cost of hives, upkeep, and medication. Last year I had no problem and no questions were asked. I did 15 different cutouts. This year I have a new guy in my area undershooting every quote I give my potential clients. I'm getting fed up. Wat do you all think?

Christmas baubles have a long history. Like many other Christmas traditions and ornaments, including the Christmas tree itself, baubles originate from Germany. In medieval times, the German town of Lauscha was home to artisan glass-blowers, and in the 1590s the glass-manufacturers Griener & Mueller invented strings of glass beads made to be hung on Christmas trees. Tinsel made from silver also existed at the time, but the glass beads caught on too, partly because they were easier to clean. The glass from Lauscha had an attractive greenish tint, which further enhanced its popularity.
Christmas baubles caught on in England soon after Christmas trees were popularised by Queen Victoria. A descendant of Griener had been making variously-shaped glass Christmas ornaments for a few years, but then came up with the idea of making a clay mould and blowing the glass inside it through a tube, to make a perfectly smooth sphere of glass. Metal compounds were used to make the spheres shine from inside.
Today, many householders and businesses choose plastic baubles, which are safer and less breakable, although glass baubles and beads are still popular too. Like artificial Christmas trees, plastic baubles can be just as beautiful as the original glass, and just as evocative of Christmas past.

UTSA Weather Update: Some finals rescheduled, more information
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Dec. 8, 2005)--Because of bad weather, UTSA finals set for 7:30 a.m., Thursday, Dec. 8 are rescheduled to 5 p.m., Friday, Dec. 9. Read more at the ASAP Web site.
Call (210) 458-SNOW (7669) for weather-related updates.
As the mercury continues to drop during the winter, there is always the possibility that UTSA may temporarily close because of icy conditions.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
At any time of the year, whether there is ice or excessive rain, there are three primary methods the UTSA administration communicates the operational status of the university:
- UTSA Web sites
- Local media
UTSA faculty, staff and students can call (210) 458-SNOW (7669) at any time for information about the Tri-Campus community regarding the status of classes and employee work schedules. The extension can answer up to 138 calls at a time, but please be patient if you hear a busy signal.
The UTSA Office of University Communications will update two Web sites (UTSA home page and UTSA Today) with information related to the university's status.
Although University Communications attempts to distribute updated, correct information to all media outlets in the San Antonio area, the process can be difficult because of the large number of phone calls received by newspapers and radio and television stations during periods of severe weather. UTSA makes every attempt to provide all media outlets correct information in a timely manner, but the university initially communicates with both WOAI Television and WOAI Radio.
Frequently Asked Questions
How early does UTSA determine whether or not to close the campuses due to adverse weather?
When adverse weather occurs during the night, the UTSA Police Department advises the vice president for business affairs concerning weather conditions. The vice president consults with the provost and vice president for student affairs before advising the president who determines whether or not to close the university. Officials attempt to make a decision about whether or not to close the campuses by approximately 5 a.m. Subsequently, staff members in University Communications work to change the message on 458-SNOW, update the Web site and contact media outlets.
At other universities, they continue to have classes regardless of snow or ice. What criteria are used to close UTSA?
UTSA is committed to making the best decision relevant to the safety of all students, faculty and staff. In San Antonio, even a small amount of ice might create an unsafe situation, as students and employees travel to the university from a variety of distances. Sometimes, weather in the Hill Country may not be reflective of conditions in southern portions of Bexar County.
What if my situation appears dangerous, and I cannot determine whether or not UTSA is closed?
Individuals are encouraged to make a prudent decision about traveling to campus related to the weather in their area.

I'm actually enjoying reading about the trip as you update; I check every few days.
The pictures you're uploading are showing up great. They're not getting shrunk down much, if any at all. An ample supply of thumbnails are given, and we can click on any to see a larger version.
Sending the pocky home with your sister to make sure it gets into the collection, or gonna cart it around for the whole trip?
I'm glad you had fun at the con! I hope everything else goes as planned, and yay having a better quality camera for your trip!
DragonCon, Saturday (Nathan)

If you haven't heard of him, James Randi is a former magician and famous skeptic noted for his $1,000,000 Challenge, where he'll provide a million dollars to anyone who can prove the existence of paranormal phenomenon under controlled scientific conditions. He's a champion of skepticism and critical thinking, and known for exposing frauds. His talk wasn't much beyond explaining all that and relating a few stories and answering some questions, but he made it very entertaining, showing his former experience as an entertainer. He was a lot older than the pictures I'd seen, and someone in line next to me when he walked in quietly pointed out that he didn't look well..
I don't remember what event we were trying to get to after that, at 2:30, but I think we missed it for some reason and I ended up going to the Steampunk World Record event instead, where they were trying to break the record for the number of steampunk cosplayers (or, as a guy in line next to me described them, "brown goths with gears") in one place. Much to my annoyance, they wouldn't let anyone up onto the balcony above the room where they were gathering, which would be ideal for getting good pictures, and after that they'd only let in professional photographers... finally they let in everyone else, but even then, we couldn't get very close and all my pictures are distant ones of the steampunk crowd's backs. I heard they got at least 500 people in the room, but I have no idea if that was enough to break the record or not.
We also went to the dealer rooms, which were appropriately numerous and huge, with all kinds of stuff ranging from swords to polyhedral dice to Pocky to model kits of starships. All I was really interested in was the Pocky, and I got a new flavor to add to my collection back home (mixed berry). Sierra got a corset and skirt, and Glennica got some anime-style purple hair decorations, which were basically purple mesh tubes and ribbons on a headband with twinkling lights. By the end of the evening, Sierra, who had been looking for a hat the whole time, had appropriated them for her own outfit. There were some cool pins and patches I might have bought for a nerd jacket, but I still don't have anything to stick them on and I figured I could just come back some other year and spend more time seriously looking if I wanted them that bad
At 5:30 we were planning to see Adam Savage of Mythbusters, but the line was so long that it was hopeless, and we wandered and revisited the dealers' rooms until 7:00, when we were scheduled to go to the DragonCon party at the Georgia Aquarium! The line for the bus was outrageous, but it turned out the aquarium was only 5 or 6 blocks away, so we just walked over. I have tons of pictures from the aquarium, but that's for next entry!
Can I get a little feedback from anyone reading? Is this blog working okay for you? I've posted dozens of pictures, can you find them easily? Are the pictures reasonably sized, or does it shrink them down so tiny that you can hardly tell what you're looking at? I'm using a teeny little netbook, so it makes it difficult to tell.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
I'm actually enjoying reading about the trip as you update; I check every few days.
I have no idea who this is, but thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear it's all working as it should. As for the Pocky, I did indeed send it back with my sister, who hopefully didn't let it get crushed or melted.
I'm just one of those random internet friends you were so kind as to point this way 'afore you left. *nod*
