I know it's a large question, I currently don't own a CC, but plan to very soon. During my recent search for used CCs, I found one that has a grocery list of add-ons.
Do any of you CC owners have modifications such as these, are familiar with these, etc? I know it takes $$ to add stuff but I'm ambivalent on going with a bone stock vs buying someone's money pit. Sometimes its nice to have add-ons (that work) and increase the appeal cosmetically.
I would wonder what if any warranty would be left if so many mods were done... Either way, please take a moment to review the list. I'd appreciate any input. Again, I'm still with air-cooled vws and this would be my first venture into water-cooled dubs.

When it comes to the decision to wake up and grow, bacterial spores "listen in" to find out what their neighbors are doing and then they follow the crowd, according to a new report in the October 31st issue of the journal Cell. Although there is still a lot to learn about how this process works, the discovery could lead to a new kind of antimicrobial agent that works not by killing active bacteria, but by keeping dormant bacteria—which typically resist traditional antibiotics—inactive.
The researchers show that the spores of a soil-dwelling bacteria can sense the presence of so-called muropeptide fragments released from the cell walls of other growing bacteria. Those muropeptides act as powerful germinants, stimulating the spores to exit the safety of their dormant state and make a go of it.
As other bacteria, including those responsible for diseases like tuberculosis and staph infection, harbor a version of the receptor responsible for this ability in the bacteria under study, the researchers said they think the mechanism they've uncovered will prove to be universal.
"[From the bacteria's perspective,] dormancy is a great state," said Jonathan Dworkin of Columbia University. "They are invulnerable to antibiotics. If you keep them in that state, you can't kill them but they don't grow either. Antibiotics usually kill bacteria by preventing some essential process, but if an antibiotic instead kept dormant bacteria from emerging, it would be essentially like killing them." They'd be stuck in a state of suspended animation.
In the new study, the researchers found that muropeptides derived from cultures of growing cells stimulate the germination of dormant Bacillus subtilis spores. Diverse bacteria can serve as the source for those muropeptide molecules, but the key is a single amino acid ingredient, they found.
The spores ability to receive the signal depends on a eukaryotic-like Ser/Thr membrane kinase receptor (PrkC). Indeed, a small molecule known to stimulate related kinases is sufficient to spark the activity of the sleeping spores. Another small molecule called staurosporine, which inhibits related kinases, also prevents spores from activating in the presence of muropeptide.
Dworkin noted that the immune systems of animals recognize the presence of foreign invaders in a similar way, by detecting chains of muropeptide (called peptidoglycans).
" The recognition of peptidoglycans is central to innate immunity," he said. "This shows that bacteria do a similar thing, but for different reasons." His team is anxious to understand the details better to make the comparison to the immune system as "there may be deep similarities."
In addition to the promise for a new type of antibiotic medication, the news may stand to benefit the food industry.
Bacterial spores are also a significant problem for food preservation, Dworkin said, because they can withstand heat sterilization. "If the food industry could find ways to control spore germination, that may be just as good as killing them," he said.
The researchers include Ishita M. Shah, Columbia University, New York, NY; Maria-Halima Laaberki, Columbia University, New York, NY; David L. Popham,Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA; and Jonathan Dworkin, Columbia University, New York, NY.

Bored with your usual inky black flick? Because when it comes to eye make-up looks this season, black isn't always best — in fact, the reverse is true. White has quickly become the liquid liner of choice in the beauty world, offering a dramatic alternative for a fresh spring look.
"I've always liked white on the eyes, especially against black mascara because it looks cooler, very Sixties Mod," says Terry Barber, director of make-up artistry at MAC, who created the simple white eyeliner looks at J JS Lee's catwalk show using MAC Pro Chromaline in white (£14, maccosmetics.co.uk) and MAC Pro Chromographic Pencil in Pure White (£13). "We were going for something classically couture at J JS Lee but with a whole futuristic edge. We loved the unexpectedness of a Fifties-shaped eyeliner but done in white, which offers a much more contemporary alternative to black."
Taking the look to the extreme, MAC also designed the sci-fi look at Gareth Pugh S/S 12 that saw white plastic affixed over the eye from the brow, mimicking a white liner look in a three-dimensional form, while London-based make-up brand Illamasqua features a new ivory "anti-liner" in its latest campaign.
But it isn't just liner that's dominating the pale eye palette. Fendi has embraced the white eye trend for two seasons now but with very different outcomes. This season, the Milan Fashion Week designers layered models' eyes with a white foil, teamed with a thick black liner and false eyelashes, while for A/W 12 white shadow was used in a wide sweep and taken over the outer corner of the brow. Manish Arora joined Fendi's S/S 12 textured look with white powder on the eyes and temple teamed with 3D flesh-toned eyebrows. Miu Miu also chose a strong make-up look for its latest collection, with graphic white crescents, lined with icy blue and adorned with crystals, extended down to the cheekbone.
"To re-create the white shadow look at home, it's best to keep white to one area to avoid overkill," says Barber. "A crisp white eyelid using MAC Eye Kohl in Fascinating (£14) or MAC powder eyeshadow in Gesso (£12) gives a whole Veruschka vibe but make sure to team with black mascara to stop the eyes looking too alien."
If you're still unsure, such an extreme take on the trend isn't always necessary. Alexandre Herchcovitch gave us a lesson in less-is-more at his S/S 12 offering by blending a pearlescent white cream-based shadow over models' eyelids for a soft, glossy sheen, while New York Fashion Week designer Edun kept it simple for next season with a dab of silvery white shadow on the inner corners.
"White is a universally flattering shade," Barber thinks. "A classic white kohl liner used inside the waterline will brighten and open up the eyes, and a sheer white used around the eyes will allow for a colour pop lip."
So when it comes to eyes, the future's definitely bright.

Learn about Parkinson's
To the editor:
This April, I urge our neighbors to take part in Parkinson's Awareness Month. Nearly one million Americans live with Parkinson's and many of them, including me, are living right here in Haywood County.
There is currently no cure for this debilitating disease. I have been living with Parkinson's Disease for over 11 years and during that time there have been many discoveries and breakthroughs that take us steps closer to a cure.
April is Parkinson's Disease awareness month, so let's be aware, make a difference, and help expedite finding a cure by donating to any Parkinson's Disease research association or foundation.
You can make a difference in the fight against Parkinson's Disease!

Charter school effort should concern all
To the editor:
The information concerning steps being taken to establish Haywood County's first charter school should be a concern for all the parents in the county.
The planning committee for the charter school states: " A charter school is a public school that receives public money but is given more flexibility and local control over operations than a traditional public school."
Charter schools are bound by the same state statutes and standardized testing requirements as the traditional public school. The members of the planning committee want their children and others in the community to have more options for education.
My position is that the parents of the local public schools have the ability to determine the flexibility of the curriculum and determine the local control of their schools.
The school board is determined by the electorate and the statutes the electorate of the county have made. A charter school will take money from the public schools, decreasing what our schools are able to do.
If the committee involved in establishing the new school would use their interest, energy, leadership and money working to make our present schools the best in the state and nation, their children and all our children would benefit.

Article brought back memories
To the editor:
I read your Camp Hope article in Wednesday's edition and the sentence about Ronnie Milsap caught my eye.
I attended Camp Hope for week-long stays for a couple summers in the mid-60s, and and in one of the years, I remember a boy, two or three years older than I was.
He was blind, had dark hair and could really play the piano and sing. I've wondered a few times if that was he. I don't know if I remember that he was from Robbinsville or that's something my mind has attached to the memory.
Your article about it being rumored that he was there reinforces my belief that he was the boy I remember.
I've thought about writing him about it but never have.

Drug Gang Leader Convicted
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown announced on Friday, February 4 that Gregory "Nef" Robinson, the leader of the Regulators, a violent drug gang that controlled a million dollar a year crack/cocaine operation in the Edgemere Houses, was convicted of criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a weapon and assault. The jury failed to reach a decision with regard to an enterprise corruption charge. Robinson, 29, will be sentenced by Supreme Court Justice Richard L. Buchter on February 17 and faces up to 25 years in prison.
"A year ago this month we announced the indictment of the defendant Robinson and six of his associates on charges of being responsible for pervasive drug dealing in and around the Edgemere Houses," said Brown. "While Robinson chose to go to trial, his six associates plead guilty to enterprise corruption. Robinson will now join his fellow gang members in prison--hopefully for a long time."
Brown said that the Regulators had a strategy of transacting a large volume of sales--sometimes as many as 200 each day--of small amounts of crack/cocaine in order to evade being caught by the police in possession of large amounts of drugs at any one time. As a result of this strategy, the gang would replenish their stock several times a day.
The Regulators, in operation since the early 1990's, used "strict and violent" discipline to rule the crack/cocaine trade in the Edgemere Houses. Attempts by rival drug dealers to operate within their territory were met with brutality and gunfire, endangering residents and visitors alike. The gang's principal base of operation was the courtyard in the public housing development at 54-22 Beach Channel drive, with a cache of weapons and drugs stored in a second floor apartment at 54-30 Beach Channel drive.
In addition, Brown said, "The gang used brutal enforcement techniques to punish recalcitrant gang members." It was alleged that on June 11, 1998, inside a stairwell of 54-30 Beach Channel drive, Robinson and three of the gangs street dealers brutally assaulted and beat a member of the gang who they believed had stolen money from them.
The investigation and arrests were carried out by investigators assigned to the Queens Narcotics Borough.
"This conviction and our continued presence in the community has already contributed to a more peaceful Rockaway, and peace of mind for its residents," Brown said. "The conviction of the leader and members of this drug gang will reduce the level of violence in the area and bring a measure of relief to the law abiding tenants of the development."

Mixtape: Pac Man – I'm Still Here
On June 21, 2010, the man known to the world as Pac Man, and by friends and family as Larry Johnson, was tragically gunned down in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago. He was only 25–far too young to be taken from the world.
Pac was closely affiliated with the L.E.P. Bogus Boys, and was the unofficial/official third member of the group. Unfortunately, he was unable to witness the success of Don't Feed Da Killaz Vol. 3 (and later Now Or Neva) by just a few months. Rumor has it, he was to play a bigger role in the group, and was to contribute heavily to DFK3. As a dedication, L.E.P. has included unreleased Pac tracks to close out each project–a tradition I'm sure they plan on continuing.
In his neighborhood of Dro City, Pac was admired as a local legend–comparable to that of Mac Dre in the Bay, and Soulja Slim in New Orleans. His music moved people, and inspired countless others to follow in his footsteps to pursue a career in music. It's unfortunate the rest of the world will never get to witness his gift, but hopefully I'm Still Here will display some of the energy and charisma that Pac had to offer. His legacy will continue live on through friends and fellow artists like King Louie (who just got a Pac Man tat on his neck), Boss Woo and Bighomie DOE.
I'm Still Here has been circulating on the streets for the past few months, but it's never been available digitally until now. The project had yet to be completed at the time of his death, but with 18 new tracks, it serves a solid and in-depth effort. And frankly speaking, some of this stuff is just great.

Me again with yet another question.
Recently since I have been doing my weights again I have noticed something. A few people that I have seen at the mma gym are lifting heavier weights than me. This doesnt upset me or anything.
What confuses me is I dont have a problem with them strength wise on the mats. Infact I feel stronger in many ways.
All I want to know is why is gym strength and mat strength so different?
At a guess i'd say that weight lifting in a gym isolates specific muscles. When youre rolling on the mat its different. Your muscles are working together to give practical strength. Technique and leverage also play their part.
I am the same way Lazy. My bench weight is shit but when I grapple I can out muscle ppl who push 100lbs more than me.
Probably because you have allot better core strength which can make a huge difference.
The main lifts that add functional strength are: squats, deads, rows, clean (or some variant) and bench/incline.
That being said it's all about leverage. Strength vs Strength is only equal in equal position. It's all in how it's applied. Core strength is everything, it's how you do anything. Your body is basically in two pieces, and your core is the connector and the more conditioned and powerful your core the better functionality you are going to have. The amount of energy you can transfer into shooting or even a punch greatly depends on your core strength.
You ever see a guy in the squat rack curling? His arms are twice as big as mine, just rippling with muscle and veins. What are the odds this guy can hit anywhere near as hard or fast as I can? Probably not that great. At the same time I've man handled guys bigger and stronger than me and I've been tapped by someone smaller.
I keep thinking about marquardt vs sonnen :p
Hey thanks for the replies I havnt been online for a bit so couldnt reply.
I guess that clears it up a little.
Just confused me.
I cant bench a lot I rep about 80-90kg for 5-8reps
Not weight trained for a while and only do dumbell bench now with the 32kg dumbells. But the other guys comment on my strength on the mats and I find it easy to beat a guy who reps 120kg and has generally stronger lifts than me.
Dont get me wrong I still use weights and will do in the future to gain strength.
I can see how it doesnt translate well to mma.
Anyone else kinda get annoyed when someone comes into the gym and reps better weight? Random question but it destroys my confidence.
Is your technique better than theirs maybe??
One answer retard strength. In all seriousness Xeberus hit it on the button. Congratulations Xeb you win a brownie!
Plus you probably have fast twitch muscles that can help you explode and power out of situations. GSP is a great example and is extremely strong. Saw him doing 100lb kettle bell exercises with one arm. That's what I strive for...functional strength vs brute strength.

Robin van Persie believes the assists of Theo Walcott should be recognised just as much as his goals.
The Dutchman has been in sensational form this season, netting 10 times in his last five Premier League matches to propel Arsène Wenger's side back up the table.
But captain Van Persie says the contributions of team-mate Walcott are the fuel that keeps his fire burning.
"Theo has given me more assists than anyone else this year," he told Arsenal.com. "I've certainly noticed it and that's why I really liked the fact that he gave me the ball for my 100th goal – it was meant to be!
"Hopefully I can give him some proper assists as well, because as a striker I believe assists are just as important as the goals you score.
"Theo's assists aren't lucky – they're proper assists, down to good movements, good actions, good final balls. For me that's perhaps even more important than a goal.
"For example, I look back at my first goal against Chelsea and don't really feel that it's mine - it's 95 per cent down to Gervinho. And my first goal against Norwich was 90 per cent Theo's – a fantastic first touch, great pace, good cross and bang, I tap it in.
"OK, it goes in my name, but that's a tiny part of the story. I do appreciate that, and hopefully I can give him and all the other guys just as much back.
"Don't forget Aaron," Van Persie added. "He was a bit unlucky against Norwich as he should probably have been passed to on a couple of occasions when he'd shown great movement to get into good positions.
"I should definitely have given him one ball, looking at it again, and there were other times too. If he keeps going that, though, he'll score goals."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

TechStars alum Nick Tommarello can't work in the cold, so it only makes sense that he would organize a start-up hackathon on an equatorial beach, right? This morning Mr. Tommarello, along with Nick Plante, Greg Belote, Zach Iglis, and "a few others" launched Startup Workaway, a ten-day trip for 20 "developers, designers, engineers, & biz guys" who want to "get stuff done" for eight hours a day in a beautiful house in Costa Rica.
"We believe magic happens when a bunch of smart people are stuck in the same room. We hope life-long friendships (and a few companies) will form," the website says.
Six applicants have confirmed, Mr. Tommarello told Betabeat, but he's pretty sure he hasn't received any from New Yorkers yet. "I expect 90 percent of the applications will come in on the deadline on Friday," he said.
The cost is $500 per person and the organizers are expecting they may have to subsidize the costs themselves, but they've found one sponsor and are scheming to get more. "Working on more right now, so it doesn't all come out of my pocket! Plus I'd like to do the next one in a castle," Mr. Tommarello said.
So is this vacation/hackathon going to be the opposite of the the how-can-we-make-this-more-extreme trend in hackfests epitomized infamous Startup Bus hackathon, which took place over three days on a no-frills coach? Not quite. "You can count on the lodging, some sort of food, and wifi. Otherwise, this ain't the Ritz. If there's a problem, we hope you can fix it yourself," the site says. But, the site says, every day will include three hours of mandatory fun! "We want to keep it light. We'll have a few group adventures, some peer-taught classes, and a half-hour daily demo."
Applications are due by May 6.

"Lick-the-Bowl-Clean" Italian Sausage Spaghetti Sauce
This is my favorite "lick-the-bowl-clean" spaghetti sauce and it's very easy to make.
Have a date night coming up? Family night? End-of-a-long-hard-week-need-a-glass-of-red-wine-and-bowl-of-spaghetti night?
Look no further. Simmer the sauce. Boil some water for pasta. Cook. Done.
So, there's just a little sautéing to get it started, but that's just some onions and garlic in olive oil. The rest is just simmering.
Saute. Simmer. Cook. Serve.
Lick-the-Bowl-Clean Italian Sausage Spaghetti Sauce

Bill Cosby Speaks Against Those Who Hate Obama
Bill Cosby has been on the warpath as of late. After speaking loudly gun control after the Trayvon Martin shooting, Cosby has spoken up against those who've engaged in unfair attacks on the president. On CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley, Cosby made these remarks:
CROWLEY: I wanted to talk to you a little bit about politics before we talk about this amazing theater.
You know that there has been some disappointment in the African- American community, some disappointment in the lesbian-gay community, some disappointment for those sort of on the lower end of the economic ladder, that the president hasn't done enough, that he got into office and went too middle of the road. Do you find anything that he has done that disappoints you?
COSBY: I'm disappointed that people who don't look at the woes and the trouble given to this man, people blatantly speaking out against his color, wasting time, starting up new stories about whether or not he was born here, saying things that they can't prove.
And this man — I feel sometimes — not all the time — that it's like watching — his job is — people want to make it as difficult as the one that Sisyphus had.
And then when you see that he made promises and said things, the people who were supposed to be working with him didn't. The people who are supposed to be working — even for another party — didn't care about the American people. They wanted to get him.
When people make statements like, "I hope he fails," you can't color that any other way except the way it's said. And yes, OK, gays, lesbians, blacks, illegal aliens — pardon me — people like that are right. It didn't happen. But look at why it didn't happen. It's a man trying to go about doing his job, and a ton of other people voting against him and regardless of what he says.
CROWLEY: Isn't that kind of, though, the definition of politics and how –
COSBY: No, no –
CROWLEY: — Washington doesn't always work with the parties?
COSBY: No, this was worse. This was worse. And everybody knows it was worse. And I think that this second term is one where we are really going to see a man who gets it, knows it. And it's going to be better, period.
CROWLEY: So you're confident there will be a second term?
COSBY: I am more than confident because he knows now who to say no to. He knows now who to say, I don't care what you say, this is going to happen. And I believe he is for the people.

The engine oil was changed when it was winterized. Oil looks good.
Change it.
Outdrive oil was changed last summer. How do I check it?
Does your drive have an oil resevoir in the engine compartment? If not then take the drain and fill screws out of the outdrive and put new lube in there, drives are not cheap to rebuild.
What other things should I make sure are ok before I put it in the water?
Things being done this week:
installed the new battery last night and started it.
the blower and bilge pump now isn't working. RPM gauge isn't correct and a few of the gauges quit working... It all worked when we tested it before purchase.....
install the "new" PS pump and PS line.
Depth/Fish Finder install any tips to share?
Install VHF Radio and Antenna. Tips?
The hinge pins for the center window are broke. Not sure how I'm going to fix that just yet.
get new hinge pins or new hinge assemblies
I hooked up the flusher last night so I could let it run for a bit but I didn't see any water coming out of the prop like I expected. Should it? I had the trim all the way up.
if you put the ear muffs on the outdrive properly and didn't get any water out of the exhaust that could be a problem. Do you have thru hull exhaust or just out of the outdrive? have you checked the impellar? water pump? how hot did the engine get?

Somehow, one just doesn't grow used to these kinds of stories:
U.S. employers kept their pace of hiring steady in December, falling short of the levels needed to bring down a still lofty unemployment rate and pointing to lackluster economic growth in 2013.
Other data on Friday gave stronger signals on the health of the economy, with the U.S. service sector activity expanding the most in 10 months.
Payrolls, excluding farm jobs, grew by 155,000 last month, the Labor Department said. That was a touch more than analysts' expectations and only slightly below the revised gain of 161,000 reported for November.
The jobless rate was steady at 7.8 percent.
While firms kept on hiring despite the uncertainties raised by a budget stand-off in Washington, the report reinforced expectations of 2 percent economic growth this year.
Such slow growth is unlikely to quickly bring down the unemployment rate and probably will not make the U.S. Federal Reserve rethink its stimulus plan anytime soon despite growing unease among some policymakers over its bond-buying program.
"The U.S. economy is just muddling through," said Tom di Galoma, managing director at Navigate Advisors in Stamford, Connecticut.
More here; not for the faint of heart. Bear in mind that health care "reform" and tax increases on the non-rich will further add to the drag on the employment market.
Happy Friday.

Raesola was the leading scorer during round-robin play, picking up an astounding 13 goals and 13 assists.
Luvia now goes on to meet Cambridge in the final. The Turbos were the only team to deliver the Finnish powerhouse a loss in the competition.

" Manufacturer: Weatherbeeta / Type: Equestrian "
I bought a weatherbeeta orican rug and was extremely disappointed with the quality of the rug and the subsequent customer service. The rug was on my horse for around 30 minutes before he rolled, a hind leg strap detached and the rug twisted. In his struggle to free himself a surcingle also detached from rug. I know rugs get damaged and expect repairs from time to time. However I have never seen a rug disintegrate so quickly in such a short space of time. Weatherbeeta's customer service basically said"tough" and refused to accept there was any fault with the rug. I am NOT impressed.
All I feel like I'm reviewing at the moment is horse rugs but due to having three horses I have amassed a lot of rugs over the years! I try and keep them until they have no life left in them as they are expensive but choosing a rug from a good brand tends to mean that they are of better quality and last longer. All but one of my rugs come from the Weatherbeeta brand. A company who has been selling rugs globally for over 25 years.
Rugs come in different weights and depending on the time of the year a rug needs to be suited to that time of year. For example in the cold months a heavy weight rug is needed in the cooler months maybe a medium weight or light weight. Rugs are determined by the amount of polyfill in them which is measured in grammes so basically more polyfill the heavier the rug.
One heavy weight rug which has done a fantastic job of keeping all my horses warm and dry over the past couple of years is the Weatherbeeta Orican Combo rug. Now I know my horses can't wear all their rugs at once but I don't like putting a damp rug back on a horse and prefer to put a dry one on so generally through the winter I have one drying and at least two spare so they can wear a dry one.
The Orican Combo rug has changed in the past two years mainly just down to its overall style but its function stays the same a great heavy weight rug with a neck cover. The Orican Combo is not the heaviest rug that Weatherbeeta makes but with 300g of polyfill (360g is the heaviest) it certainly will keep your horse warm and snug. It boasts a 210 denier hygienic Oxford lining which doesn't rub your horses hair so no worries about those horrible bald patches on the shoulders, chest or withers. The outer fabric is incredibly durable and at 1200 ripstop denier it is incredibly tough. Weatherbeeta use their "ripstop" technology by modifying the weft in the fabric enabling it to contain any rips or tears that may happen.
Even though the rug is a heavy weight which makes it quite a bit heavier than lighter rugs the fabric is incredibly smooth and soft making it a lot lighter than the old fashioned canvas rugs.
The rug comes complete with two surcingles which are fully adjustable. These cross under the horses belly to make the rug more secure. There are two elastic leg straps at the back of the rug which again are adjustable but these are also removable should you not want them as some people prefer to opt for a fillet string instead. I prefer the leg straps as they keep the rug well positioned and as they are elasticated they move well with the horse. The front twin chest buckles are reinforced and are adjustable which is great for horses who are slim or big in the chest.
The neck rug is attached to the main rug although you can get a detachable neck version of the rug. It has two Velcro straps which secure the neck rug but don't expect it to be slim fitting to the neck. The neck rug is big enough to fit most shapes and sizes of horses necks so if like me your horse has a slim to normal sized neck there is a gap between the horses neck and neck rug itself which can I guess cause a draft! The neck rug has to be done up at all times when the horse is out in the field as leaving it unfastened can cause bit of danger to the horse especially if its windy.
As I said above Weatherbeeta have slightly changed the design of this rug over the years. The original Orican (which I own) has a wrap around tail flap which is incredibly large and covers a lot of my horses tail and bum, meaning he is better protected from the elements. The tail flap on the new Orican combo is a lot smaller in comparison and I personally think it should be changed back to how it was before. However, the one change I do like with the new rug is the shoulder gussets are larger meaning the horses movement is not restricted.
The Orican Combo is heavily waterproofed and so far none of my rugs have ever leaked and my horses remain nicely dry. I have however decided to get them re-waterproofed every year as they get older and have more wear to them. The taped seams inside the rug also do a great job of keeping this rug waterproof.
The Orican Combo can be bought online and at most Weatherbeeta stockists. It costs around £80.00 which I think is incredibly good value for a heavy weight rug. For 2010 the available colours are navy/ green and chocolate/ blue but you can still get the older version of the Orican on some online equestrian stores where you can get it in blue and denim and probably slightly cheaper. The rug starts at 5'0 and goes all the way up to 7'3 but not all colours come in all sizes but as they all end up getting muddy I don't find this a big problem!
For me this rug is a great addition to any horses wardrobe and is very useful when the weather turns really cold and miserable, it has never let me down yet. Although I have noticed the once original quilty feel to the rug is now not as quilty as it was which generally is due to fair usage and the padding tends to reduce. However, the rug still keeps them warm and dry.

January 30, 2003 -- The nation's newest environmental satellite, GOES-12, is being readied for operations, NASA and the Commerce Department's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced today.
GOES-12 is equipped with an advanced instrument for real-time solar forecasting. The Solar X-ray Imager (SXI) aboard the satellite will enable forecasters and scientists to detect solar storms that could impact billions of dollars worth of assets.
"I want to offer my congratulations to the SXI partners on their significant achievements," said Dr. Richard Fisher, Director of the Sun Earth Connection Division at NASA Headquarters. "I view the initiation of the new SXI serivce as a victory for the national scientific research program. Yesterday's research mysteries have become the subjet of today's report on space weather conditions," he said.
The instrument will take a full-disk image of the sun's atmosphere once every minute. NOAA and the U.S. Air Force will use the images to monitor and forecast the sources of space weather disturbances from the sun. The images will enable forecasters to predict disturbances to Earth's space environment that can destroy satellite electronics, disrupt long-distance radio communications or surge power grids.
The ability to monitor and forecast solar disturbances is valuable to operators of military and civilian radio and satellite communications systems, navigation systems, astronauts, high-altitude aviators and scientists.
The SXI is a small telescope that makes use of advanced technology and grazing incidence optics to allow it to see the sun's outer atmosphere or corona in X-rays. SXI lets solar forecasters see phenomena they couldn't otherwise view, such as coronal holes, whose high-speed winds cause geomagnetic storms; and to infer solar activity occurring behind the sun's edge, or limb. X-ray images are more accurate than white light imagers for identifying the location of flares.
"NASA is excited about providing another fine tool for the NOAA team to use in weather operations, including space weather forecasts," said Martin A. Davis, NASA GOES program manager at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) in Greenbelt, Md. GOES-12 represents a continuation of a 27-year joint program between NASA and NOAA.
The United States operates two environmental satellites in geostationary orbit 22,300 miles over the equator. GOES-12 was launched on July 23, 2001, and placed into on-orbit storage. Controllers at NOAA's Satellite Operations Control Center in Suitland, Md., are commanding the satellite out of storage and preparing it for operations.
NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service operates the GOES series of satellites. After the satellites complete on-orbit checkout, NOAA assumes responsibility for command and control, data receipt, product generation and distribution. GSFC manages the design, development and launch of the spacecraft for NOAA. The SXI was built by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.

Traffic School in Piedmont
The DMV point for Alameda County traffic tickets can be masked by attending traffic school in Piedmont as long as you are qualified for traffic school according to the traffic school eligibility requirements in California.
On the other hand if you decide to fight your traffic ticket we can do that for you as well. Keep in mind that in Alameda traffic court you have the option to contest your traffic ticket instead of having to go to traffic school in Piedmont. So, if you have decided to fight your traffic ticket, just sign up for that option. We will help you with a process called trial by written declaration which does not require you to go to court. YES, as surprising as it may be if you contest your ticket with a trial by written declaration you will not have to appear in court. More importantly we do all the work for you to save you time and money. For many people it is a simple decision to fight first and if that does not work to choose traffic school.
Pros and cons of fighting a traffic ticket verses going to traffic school in Piedmont
If you fight and beat a traffic ticket you do not have to pay the fine at all. However, if you decide to attend traffic school then you have to pay the fine for the violation and the Alameda traffic court traffic school fee ($50 to $60). So, it is a matter of the overall traffic ticket cost.
We can help you to fight your traffic ticket in Alameda traffic court. Sign up for service of your choice online and let us help you with your traffic ticket to keep the DMV points off your record. We have helped thousands of people keep their DMV record clean.

text: I went to an interview on Monday and have a habit of following up with a handrwitten note the next day. So on Tuesday I went to the front desk and gave the receptionist a note asking her to pass along to the manager. She seemed preoccupied and kind of nodded and tossed the note aside, and I fear she never actually had it sent over (to complicate things the manager is in a different building than the one that has the reception area). It's a job I really want that I've been stressing over so I'm probably just paranoid. Is there any graceful way to see if the manager received the note via email or should I just have faith that it was sent over? All my communication throughout the interview process has been with HR so I don't want to randomly email the manager out of the blue. Or since it's been almost a week since the interview and I haven't heard back, should I just assume they found someone else and stop worrying? I realize this is trivial but I've been dying for this job and have let the OCD take over. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Certificates must be Base 64-encoded PEM-format, with a header line
including "BEGIN CERTIFICATE", as used by OpenSSL.
It looks like you have been given a certificate in a different format, PKCS#7 (p7b). You could request a new certificate from the CA in PEM format or try to convert the one you have. I do not think SGD supports that conversion, but there are tools to convert certificate formats on the web.
2. Re: Installing SSL certificate838745 Feb 13, 2012 10:44 PM (in response to user12629685)i am not sure about PEM format. I am trying to find answer from security team. however, in the mean time I got the new certificate in base 64-format with cer extension. I used following command:
tarantella security certuse --certfile /opt/var/tps/myresearch2012-base64.cer
It gives warning that 'A key file already exists for this server. Are you sure you want to overwrite it ?' If say yes it returns 'The certificate file doesn't exist'.
Any other suggestion?

Tax concessions for charities : competitive neutrality, the tax base and "public goods" choice
Sadiq, Kerrie & Richardson, Catherine (2010) Tax concessions for charities : competitive neutrality, the tax base and "public goods" choice. Australian Tax Forum, 25(4), pp. 401-416.
It is argued that concerns arise about the integrity and fairness of the taxation regime where charitable organizations, which avail themselves of the tax exemption status while undertaking commercial activities, compete directly with the for-profit sector. The appropriateness of the tax concessions granted to charitable organizations is considered in respect of income derived from commercial activities. It is principally argued that the traditional line of reasoning for imposing limitations on tax concessions focuses on an incorrect underlying inquiry. Traditionally, it is argued that limitations should be imposed because of unfair competition, lack of competitive neutrality, or an arbitrary decision relating to a lack of deserving. However, it is argued that a more appropriate question from which to base any limitations is one which considers the value attached to the integrity of the taxation regime as a whole, and the tax base specifically compared to the public good of charities. When the correct underlying question is asked, sound taxation policy ensues, as a less arbitrary approach may be adopted to limit the scope of tax concessions available to charitable organizations.

Allure ultra waterproof floor
I have an large area that needs some kind of waterproof floor, regular laminates lift- thinking about Allure high traffic floor but saw some reviews that made me very scared- http://ottoblotto.blogspot.com/2009/...ng-stinks.html - I have small child in the home & can't use anything that has a potential for health risk!! Does anyone know if his is true? Is it just the "glue strip" floors or all Allure flooring?? What are my options? Tile is such a huge expensive job, are there any other brands that make waterproof laminate that done can suggest? I am very concerned about now using this brand!
There have been many problems. Type "Allure" in the search box.
For any type flooring to work your going to have to figure out why there's moisture in that area.
What's there for a subfloor?
Crawl space, slab ECT.?
The reason I want waterproof is not because of moisture problem, it is because I have a built in pool right off the area that I want to cover, and kids / adults running in an out of house have ruined laminate floor & rugs are not an option- was considering tile floor but $$ and I like to look of wood, although there are wood look tiles they are $$ and very involved process- this would be much easier and if works would solve all problems.
My concern is issues I've read about what I think might be the floor w/glue strip.
This floor would go over a slab.

text: I haven't been on here hardly in the past 3 years. What I do remember was all the Eli Manning bashing that was going on. I knew he was going to be great and he is. It's also good to see our defense play like it has... and beating the Packers is not far fetched. I rather San Fran win this game today We got burned by the Saints this year badly (can't remember what players were hurt). We had a close game with San Fran. There are some teams the Giants do well against, like Washington... the Saints are probably more of a threat. Anyway... my thoughts.

Ditto!!!!for me too
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Hi Deb.....make sure you use your walking foot to quilt......I just finished my first quilt also and the quilting part was the hardest for me ....but now that I have it done Iam quite proud of it......I was going to do the stitch in the ditch but I chose a swirly design because the stitch in the ditch was not a good choice for me....I figured if I went out of the ditch then it would be noticed so the swirly design worked for me.....it kinda looks like a snake Iam sure most machines have that stitch.....so good luck and remember to just take your time...and do a practice peice before doing your quilt....god bless....Trish
Lovely first quilt. I think I would quilt across the blocks using diagonal lines.
Very nice quilt for your first one!!! As a novice quilter, probably keep the quilting simple on this one. Stitch in the ditch is good, quilting with diagonal lines works well. You can use masking tape to mark lines. Place the tape, quilt along the edge of tape, then peel tape away. You can re-use the tape as long as you don't sew into it. You can also use decorative stitches on your machine. There are no rules. Just have fun!
I love your color scheme in the batiks... hopefully you will post the final product in whatever you decided.
very nice! isn't it a great feeling to have come so far!! i would do stitch in the ditch. if you have an embroidery function i would do a leaf or some such in the large squares. you've done very well ! please show us when you are done!
The only bad days are the ones you don't get.

Rising energy and heating costs can be a major concern for many each and every winter……
Especially when you live off shore.
"This year has been extremely cold. I've lived here in this house as an adult since 1970, and I don't remember it being quite so cold here," said homeowner, Nancy Carter.
Carter's concerns to be an energy efficient homeowner are like many in Maine, hers come with a challenge. She's a resident of Swan's Island.
"Maine islands pay some of the highest energy costs in the country. They pay up to 70 cents or more per kilowatt hour for electricity and up to a dollar more per gallon for heating fuel," said Brooks Winner, a community energy associate with the Island Institute.
Another challenge is paying for professional contractors to travel to islands to give quotes and make repairs.
The Island Institute out of Rockland is trying to help. Their mission for the last three decades has been supporting Maine's island communities. They've teamed up with Efficiency Maine to bring their home energy program to island residents.
Through funding, they've started weatherization week. They bring certified contractors and workers out for the week and pay for lodging and extra costs, leaving the home owner responsible for two hundred dollars for basic costs. This week they're weatherizing six homes on the island.
"We do energy audits and we combine that with air sealing and weatherization work and we help homeowners come up with a plan to renovate their home or make modifications to make it more energy efficient," said Keith McPherson, owner of Home Energy Answers.
McPherson has been apart of 15 weatherization weeks. His company uses specialized equipment like infrared cameras.
"Our company has done over 700 houses in the last thee years, our average savings is between 6 and 700 dollars per year, per house, not counting the additional work that we do above and beyond the weatherization day."
"It makes a huge difference. There were a lot of drafts before and it was, you know, I'd wrap myself in blankets, and I used to nail a blanket over one of the doors to keep the cold draft from coming through, and it's made a huge difference," said Ann Marie Maguire, who also lives on the island.
"My two hundred dollars probably is multi-paid back to me by savings in fuel, and comfort," said Carter.
"It's really a community approach to weatherization and energy efficiency work in homes and buildings and it's kind if using the community, the bonds that exist between people to help spread the word and educate people," said Winner.

Platteville, Colorado 80651
Ref: # DEN-13-21-WL
Dear Mssrs. Henrickson:
On July 23, 29, and 31, 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation of your dairy operation located at 13278 Weld County Road 32, Platteville, Colorado. This letter notifies you of the violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) that we found during our investigation of your operation. You can find the FD&C Act and its associated regulations on the Internet through links on FDA's web page at www.fda.gov.
We found that you offered for sale, an animal for slaughter as food that was adulterated. Under section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it bears or contains a new animal drug that is unsafe under section 512 of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b. Further, under section 402(a)(4) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4), a food is deemed to be adulterated if it has been held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have been rendered injurious to health.
Specifically, our investigation revealed that on or about April 4, 2013, you sold a dairy cow, identified with ear tag (b)(4), for slaughter as food. On or about April 4, 2013, (b)(4), slaughtered this animal. United States Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA/FSIS) analysis of tissue samples collected from this animal identified the presence of 1.27 parts per million (ppm) of desfuroylceftiofur in the kidney tissue. FDA has established a tolerance of 0.4 ppm desfuroylceftiofur (marker residue for ceftiofur) in kidney tissue as codified in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Section 556.113(b)(3)(1) (21 CFR 556.113(b)(3)(1)). The presence of this drug in edible tissues from this animal in this amount causes the food to be adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(2)(C)(ii) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(2)(C)(ii).
Our investigation also found that you hold animals under conditions that are so inadequate that medicated animals bearing potentially harmful drug residues are likely to enter the food supply. For example, you failed to maintain complete treatment records and review said records to verify applicable withdrawal time prior to offering the animal for slaughter as food. Food from animals held under such conditions is adulterated within the meaning of section 402(a)(4) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 342(a)(4).
We also found that you adulterated the new animal drug (b)(4) (ceftiofur sodium, (b)(4)). Specifically, our investigation revealed that you did not use this drug product as directed by its approved labeling. Use of this drug in this manner is an extralabel use. See 21 CFR 530.3(a).
The extralabel use of approved animal or human drugs in animals is allowed under the FD&C Act only if the extralabel use complies with sections 512(a)(4) and (5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a)(4) and (5), and 21 CFR Part 530, including that the use must be by or on the lawful order of a licensed veterinarian within the context of a valid veterinarian/client/patient relationship.
Our investigation found that you administered (b)(4) to a dairy cow, identified with ear tag (b)(4) without following the withdrawal period as stated in the approved labeling. Your extra label use of (b)(4) was not under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian, in violation of 21 CFR 530.11(a) and your extralabel use of the drug product resulted in an illegal drug residue, in violation of 21 CFR 530.11(d). Because your use of this drug was not in conformance with its approved labeling and did not comply with 21 CFR Part 530, you caused the drug to be unsafe under section 512(a) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360b(a), and adulterated within the meaning of section 501(a)(5) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(a)(5).
The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. As a producer of animals offered for use as food, you are responsible for ensuring that your overall operation and the food you distribute is in compliance with the law.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations described in this letter and to establish procedures to ensure that these violations do not recur. Failure to do so may result in regulatory action without further notice such as seizure and/or injunction.
Our investigation also revealed that on or about April 4, 2013, Mr. José Cervantes, Hospital Manager at Bella Holsteins, Inc., provided to (b)(4), a signed certification that states that the animals presented for slaughter are clear of all residual drugs. On or about April 4, 2013, you delivered a dairy cow identified with ear tag (b)(4), which contained violative residues of desfuroylceftiofur, to (b)(4). Providing such a false guaranty is prohibited by section 301(h) of the FD&C Act, 21 U.S.C. § 331(h). You should take appropriate actions to ensure that this violation does not recur.
You should notify this office in writing of the steps you have taken to bring your firm into compliance with the law within fifteen (15) working days of receiving this letter. Your response should include each step that has been taken or will be taken to correct the violations and prevent their recurrence. If corrective action cannot be completed within fifteen (15) working days of receiving this letter, state the reason for the delay and the time frame within which the corrections will be completed. Please include copies of any available documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made.
Your written response should be sent to Matthew R. Dionne, Compliance Officer, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 6th Avenue & Kipling Street – Building 20 DFC, P.O. Box 25087, Denver, Colorado 80225-0087. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact Compliance Officer Matthew R. Dionne at (303) 236-3045 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Why Is It So Hard to Search My Email Recipients?
What technological innovation would you most like to see for the office?
JEFF JONAS: Well call it a pet peeve, but you asked. Is there not some way to actually find all the emails one sent to one person no matter how many different ways the same person can be represented on the "TO:" line? Come on! This kills me.
We go to sent mail. We re-order by "recipient." Now we search for the person. Let's Say "Doe" only to find we have sent email to "Doe, John." But the specific email you are looking for is not there. Then we search for "John Doe." And under this recipient we find some more emails sent to the same person. Then we start scrolling and find some "email@example.com" and "email@example.com" too.
Can we not just pick one recipient and then see all the emails? Really now!
This is not hard. Machines can now very easily resolve entities which are the same, such that if we search for any one handle e.g., "firstname.lastname@example.com" we find all the related items i.e., "Doe, John", "John Doe" and "email@example.com".
Is this too much to ask?
I'm not being greedy here. Heck, if I was being greedy I'd also want my email systems to recognize that the email address I just added to the CC line is out of context and then ask for confirmation.
Are you sure "email@example.com" belongs on this email to "email@example.com" about "Confidential: Sales Cadence Report"?
You have to hate this rare, but periodic happening. One types "Re" to get "Reynolds, John" then, oops, wrong item picked.
So–you are the "Wicked Leaker" today!
This is not hard to do with today's technology. Can someone fix this too please?
