My e60 had worn paint & lots of scuff damage so I had it primed and then vinyl wrapped about 3 years ago. The vinyl wasn't done very well so I'm arranging it to be rewrapped (repainting is out of question due to job cost/vehicle value ratio). I have decided that I'd like it to be in either Matt Black (what it is now) or Gloss white with Matt Black roof — current matt-black roof is currently in fine condition and won't have to be rewrapped anyway. My alloys are satin black which I won't change as they in good condition and suit both combinations anyway.
However I do plan to replace the car in 4 months so I'm concerned about resale value. I love the matt black (I know everyone thinks that their car is a head-turner, but this one is more like a crowd turner), but I can see that many people are going for gloss white & black roof.
So guys, any tips on which colour will retain the cars value?

Product Description
Fits Dyson DC15 models + Instructions»

If your floors and carpets look dirtier than usual, and you're having a hard time cleaning various nooks and crannies of your home or office, it might be time to either add a replacement Dyson DC15 hose to your vacuum cleaner or replace the one you have that's not working as it's designed.
Like any other piece of machinery, your vacuum cleaner will begin to wear down after repeated use — such is life. In order to get your floors as clean as can be, it's important you perform routine maintenance on your cleaning equipment to make sure it's always working optimally.
If you're looking for an easy-to-install Dyson DC15 hose, you've come to the right place. At Crucial Vacuum, we pride ourselves on engineering high-quality generic replacement vacuum cleaner parts that don't cost an arm and a leg. When you shop here, you'll get access to the replacement parts you need to get your house as clean as can be.
When you think about it, the reason OEM replacement parts are so expensive is quite simple: There are many different hands involved in the manufacturing and selling process, and they all need to get paid. For example, most OEM parts aren't even made by the company that sticks its name on it.
Instead of outsourcing the design and production of our replacement parts to third-party vendors like so many of our competitors do, we keep all of those tasks in-house. Our products are built under own our roofs, and when they're finished, we ship them directly to you, our wonderful customers. This allows us to offer items at extremely affordable prices.
On top of our incredibly low prices, we also offer free shipping to all U.S. addresses. What's more, if you sign up for our subscription service — which allows you to receive automatic shipments on a schedule you select — you'll receive an additional five percent discount. What's not to like?
This is a generic product designed and engineered in the United States by Crucial Vacuum. This is not a Dyson® OEM product and is not covered under any Dyson® manufacturer's warranty. Please check your manufacturer's warranty with regard to the use of non-OEM parts. Crucial Vacuum provides no warranty or guarantee with regard to the product or its compatibility with your Dyson® product.

I guess I'll have to take the time to educate you on this subject. Whether or not you listen is another story. After all you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
Driveline basics:
Drive shafts in rear wheel drive vehicles have "U" joints at each end that transfer the rotational energy from the output shaft of the transmission to the driveshaft and then from the driveshaft to the differential. All "U" joints rotate in an elliptical motion, unless the operating angle is exactly zero which is almost never the case. So, this means the "U" joint at the front of the driveshaft and the one at the rear both speed up and slow down twice per rotation. That's why they need to be installed "in phase". Each "U" joint must speed up and slow down at exactly the same time as the other. If they are not in phase vibration is inevitable.
Not only do "U" joints rotate elliptically, the ellipse changes as the angle of rotation changes. In order to keep from creating undue vibration the "U" joint angle at each end of the driveshaft needs to match the other as close as possible so the ellipse the "U" joints travel in are the same. In other words, the angle of the output shaft of the transmission and the differential pinion gear input shaft need to be in the same plane. This helps keep the rotational angles for both "U" joints equal. Differences here will create driveline vibration because as the rotational angle of the "U" joint changes the elliptical path changes and when one "U" joint travels in a different ellipse than the other, vibration is created. Also, the greater the operating angle of the "U" joint, the more distorted the ellipse becomes and the greater the torsional vibration. This is why most "U" joint manufacturers recommend an operating angle of 3 degrees or less. Operating the "U" joint at greater angles is possible but it will cause premature "U" joint failure and driveline vibration due to excess torsional stress.
In summary, for a street driven vehicle the transmission output shaft and pinion input shaft need to be in the same plane, (or parallel) and the angles need to be kept at 3 degrees or less for optimal longevity. Lower operating angles also minimize driveline vibration introduced by the elliptical rotational pattern of the "U" joints. Drag racing and specialized rear suspensions will require different settings but the "U" joints will still operate under the same laws of motion.
Consider yourself educated. Proper driveline angles, when it comes to "U" joints and driveshafts, are critical to effectively transmitting torque and power from the trans to the differential without creating vibration.

Do you go through toys BEFORE The holidays?
To go through and toss broken toys, donate outgrown ones, and organize in preparation for the new items?
I've made a habit every year of going through each child's room before Christmas. It's a good time to do a total clean, organize, and get rid of what isn't needed or used anymore.
If I did not force her to be ok board with me, I swear Riley would be a hoarder.
She tried to convince me she needed to keep a broken Polly Pocket doll with 1 leg because "he was attacked by a shark- and survived."
Quoting Simple-Beauty: I do through the year, but the quantity is usually greater around Christmas. I LOVE the services that pick up donations at my house, it makes it so easy.
Yep, my son has way too many toys. I also plan on temporarily putting away a lot of the ones that we're not getting rid of, just to have more room for his new toys.
I put many of the baby toys that he has outgrown in storage bins in the attic.
Quoting C.H.E.L.S.E.A:
Yep, my son has way too many toys. I also plan on temporarily putting away a lot of the ones that we're not getting rid of, just to have more room for his new toys.
I usually do but after she gets her new stuff and back to school I am going to have to get the toddler age toys out of there.
My dd doesn't have that many toys yet but we will probably start to do this next year. The purple heart is doing a pick up in our area January 8th so we are getting whatever we can together for that though. Old clothes, toiletries I have from coupons, things like that.
My ds's b day is 11-7 and my dd is 12-17.
Quoting crochetmom07: I do. The boys birthdays are right before Christmas, so to make room for the new toys from birthdays and Christmas, I have to go through them and get rid of a lot of them.

Having said that, contacts sync hasn't either, and I use it for more than just phone numbers
Having said that, contacts sync hasn't either, and I use it for more than just phone numbers
There is a great app in the Android Market which is free called "iCal Import Export". Use this app to take data from your ".ics" file and place inside the built-in Calendar.
If the "Cal Import Export" app appears to stall or fails with an error in moving the data into the Calendar, it is because the Mac calendar has some dodgy data which did not get recognised. Try and narrow down to the month, week, day of where it aborts and manually re-enter that even in the Mac Calendar. I found the culprit in my case to be an automatic repeating event that had a custom schedule which the phone Calendar could not understand hence it choked. Wiped that event and entered it again and it worked. I suspect that iCal stored that custom event in a newer format once the event was re-entered as something that was a bug and fixed by Apple at some stage. It went unnoticed on the Mac, but reared its ugly head once moved to another platform.
Regarding Videos, Music, and Photos, these can all be moved directly to/from the phone using Bluetooth or by connecting it via a cable to the USB. For the phone to "see" those newly added items, they must be in the right place.
The advantage of Bluetooth versus USB is that Bluetooth does not leave ".DS_Store" and other Mac files on the phone storage device when files are transmitted. The USB method is faster so it makes a difference if you have many Gigabytes of data to move but results in this "residue" that happens whenever a non-Mac media card is mounted in the Mac. The "residue" can be deleted but is irritating extra step to handle, though leaving them in place is fairly harmless.
If you take photos on the phone, and want to move them back to the Mac via Bluetooth, you need to first make the photo (or any file) "visible" via Bluetooth. Use "My Files" on the phone, navigate to the folder on the card where your photo (or any file) is stored and press the menu button. Look for the "options" or similar, one of which will be "Bluetooth Visibility". You can then toggle on/off for each item. Once made visible, you can see that file in the Bluetooth browser on the Mac to drag/drop the file(s) to the Mac.
Hope it helps!
Deepmeister, thanks for your useful advice of transferring address book. That is working for me very well. However, it was not applied to iCal unsuccessfully. I believe I could not know how to create the .ics file with all schedules. The file size was just 4 k. The file also could not be sent to the phone via bluetooth.
To make the ".ics" file, go to iCal, select the calendar so it is highlighted on the left side column, then select Export from the File Menu. The result is a ".ics" file of that calendar.
To send to the phone, keep the ".ics" file on the desktop or somewhere easy to find, does not matter where exactly. Assuming the phone is paired with the Mac, look in the Bluetooth menu for the device name (Galaxy S or whatever), then select "Browse Device". You will be able to see the phone storage card and transfer the ".ics" file to it.
Your a tiny little penis.
But still, I'd like to know who you are referring too and how you came to your conclusion.
If your remark was at me, I'd like to know who I'm attached too, does this person get much action and how is it possible for me to write this message. What is the person I'm attached to doing while I'm writing this, if it was mine I'd be pretty worried. Could you imagine the pain for hitting the wrong key!
I'm off now to look at some bouncing milk bottles

Can an iPad cause you to get a rash?
If you have an unexplainable rash, researchers say an iPad could be to blame.
It's not uncommon to go out to dinner or shopping and see a child playing on an iPad. Maxine Terry says her 3-year-old grandson can even use one. "My granddaughter Aryana and her little brother, they are constantly on them. They carry them with them everywhere. They have them at dinner sometimes," she said.
Terry says for the most part, her grandkids keep their iPads in a protective case, but not always. "Ary uses hers more in her lap, whereas my grandson uses his more in front of him or propped up on a table. He's managing it that way so it's not touching his skin as much," she said.
A July report in the Journal of Pediatrics found an 11-year-old boy treated at a San Diego hospital for an itchy body rash that couldn't be helped with usual treatment. Doctors traced the cause to the boy's daily use of his iPad.
It turns out the boy is allergic to nickel, a metal that can cause an allergic reaction. "It's caused by direct contact on the skin, especially places where it may rub or be sweaty," says Dr. Luella Guzman.
Doctors tested the boy's iPad and found a chemical compound found in nickel in the iPad's outside coating.
Pediatrician Luella Guzman says if your child is allergic to nickel, they can get a rash. "It's usually red, itchy, really itchy. Kids will often scratch it to the point that they start to get little blisters, and the blisters may break and get crusty," she said.
We learned once you figure out your child has a nickel allergy, it's usually easy to treat. "To treat it, we avoid it. The second thing is to put hydrocortisone ointment or cream on it that you can get over the counter. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or prescribed," adds Dr. Guzman.
Maxine says after hearing about this case she will watch her grandchildren more closely when they use iPads. "I would be more cautious, and I would definitely talk to my daughter and let her know to maybe do some research," she said.
Recently-published studies found nickel allergies can be caused by a variety of electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones.
Apple had no comment when asked whether all iPad models and other Apple devices contain nickel.
Doctors said the boy got better after simply putting a protective case on his iPad.

A total of $109,000 will be spent on constructing 9.4km of fence line on river berms as part of a three-year work programme aimed at keeping stock out of waterways.
Hawke's Bay Regional Council reviewed a report outlining the programme and how it could match it up with its proposed Tukituki catchment plan change 6, which required enforced stock exclusion from rivers under certain circumstances.
It would target fencing work at the confluence of the Tutaekuri and Ngaruroro rivers and sections of the right bank of the Ngaruroro this summer.
These sites had low areas where cattle could get access to water and they were public areas close to State Highway 2 bridges.
The cost for this "priority one" phase was $34,000 and involved 2.8km of fencing.
Silt extraction work on the right bank (south side) of the Ngaruroro River would mean the 2.8km of fencing work there could not begin until 2014-15 and it would cost $32,000.
It was a similar story for the left bank (north side) of the Ngaruroro River where silt needed to be removed so the 3.8km fencing work could begin in 2015-16 and it would cost $43,000.
The council's group asset manager Mike Adye said the Karamu Stream also included areas where council-owned land was used for grazing as a way of "managing the land" to keep pest plants and weeds under control.
There were 13 existing licences to graze stock along the Karamu, which would expire on June 30, 2015. At the moment, there were no rules preventing stock access to the stream.
"Staff are working with each landowner along the Karamu, who has a licence to graze cattle, to ensure the stock were prevented from getting into the water," Mr Adye said.
"We are working, as soon as possible, through areas where we can have temporary fencing."
Mr Adye's report says if grazing river berms stopped, the council's weed spraying programme would have to be extended and a detailed analysis had not been completed on the likely cost of the increase.
Some licence holders had fenced off sections of waterways where they grazed stock at their own expense, while in other areas, river banks prevented stock from accessing water ways.
A preliminary assessment suggested if all licensed areas were fenced, 50km of fencing would be required to secure about 120ha of grazing land.
It would cost between $100,000-$250,000.
Councillor Neil Kirton said it was pleasing to hear staff had a plan to deal with stock getting into rivers and streams.
"But if we want to go to some other form of management [of river berms], the ratepayers will have to pay a lot more for it."

When I moved to Minneapolis to start college, I immediately got a job selling men's suits at a department store downtown. When I started, I knew nothing about clothing, but I learned enough so I could torture an analogy here to make a point about sales training.
When it comes to sales training, your options are very similar to the options one encounters when buying a suit:
Option 1: Off the Rack: Plenty of vendors offer sales training that has already been made—you just need to find one that fits. If you do find a fit, this is a highly-efficient route—costs are typically lower when no alterations are required.
However, the fit is almost always less than exact. Some things are missing, and some things are unnecessary—like a suit where the pants are cut too long and the jacket won't button. And there's always the issue of quality.
Of course, you can pay to "customize" off-the-rack training. Most sales training vendors offer customization that ranges from putting your logo on the cover to creating customized cases.
However, customizing training almost always means addition, not subtraction. Even if you leave some of that suit on the cutting-room floor, you pay for it—and for the service of removing it. And let's face it, most of the real "customizing" is done by your salespeople—they keep what works and discard the rest. That's like a tailor charging you to hem your own pants.
Option 2: Bespoke: Bespoke (from the verb bespeak, which means "to give an order for it to be made") means one-of-a-kind training where the pattern is created from your measurements. Just like in suits, this is a wonderful option, if you can afford it. Unfortunately, there are very few organizations with the competency, time, and funding to create training from scratch.
There is a third option, of course, and one I obviously recommend:
Option 3: Made to Measure: The difference between made to measure (M2M) clothing and off-the-rack/tailored clothing is the difference in starting points. Tailored clothing starts with the pattern, which is then altered to fit the customer. M2M clothing starts with the customer's measurements, and from those measurements a pattern is selected.
The same distinction applies to sales training; M2M training begins with taking the measure of the sales organization, then selecting proven patterns that meet business objectives. It's really a difference between a training-centric approach and a selling-centric approach to sales training development.
The M2M approach works in sales training because effective selling is almost always based on proven, existing patterns of behavior. It's just a matter of effective measurement.
So how do you create M2M sales training?
Principle 1: Start with the measurements. Invest the necessary time and energy to determine three key measurements:
Principle 2: Select proven patterns. Successful selling methods are based on successful patterns of human interaction. The best sales training capitalizes on some recognized patterns that have been researched, documented, and validated in various disciplines:
Example: My clients often use Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a handy pattern for training salespeople to influence customer movement. It's proven, it's true, and it's free.
In other words, you don't need to invent the suit, and you don't need to wear someone else's suit; use the patterns out there that have been proven to work over time. That way, you own the suit versus having to rent it.
Principle 3: Use quality materials and craftsmanship. The best patterns in the world don't work if the tailor sucks. Invest the necessary time and energy in these essential materials:
In summary, there's a middle ground between the quality issues of buying off the rack and the massive investment of bespoke. Use effective measurements, proven patterns, and quality materials and craftsmanship to create training that salespeople are willing to try on and are proud to wear. Best of all, you own it and it's yours!
Join me at ASTD 2013 for my session "Owning Mobile Sales Training: Implementing a Customized Sales Methodology Using Mobile Technology" where I will share best practices and lessons learned from real experiences. You'll walk away with tools and tips you can use immediately to build the foundation for sales training that gets used, whether the right solution is off-the-shelf or home-grown. You can assess and determine the ideal mobile and virtual delivery modes that maximize sales force adoption. You can benchmark sales behaviors and competencies that become decision criteria for buy/build choices, and you can employ a process for getting salespeople and sales management to buy in and own the sales training process.
The ASTD 2013 International Conference & Exposition is the premier event for training and development professionals. This year's event will take place in Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. from May 19-22, 2013.

Love and Kingdom
Book by: Nithya
Status: Finished
Genre: Historical Fiction
Chapter3 (v.1) - Love and Kingdom Chapter 3
Natalie looked down. The Golden River was running with her majesty and vigor. Will she hurt a poor girl like her? She could not blame her, because she, the Golden River would not have got time to stop and think. She was so definite to splash Natalie to pieces and it would be an honor than to die in his hands.
Rebels they were, Hawks. Not that kind of rebels, who would stand in street and bark against the king, who would restrict to pay the kingdom, for their own reasons and saying it as democracy, Who would bow their head and values in front of a sword. They were rebels, who had gained the honor of 'kill at sight'. They were vowed to spill even their last drop of blood for the end of that, her, kingdom.
They were Hawks, the rebels and he was one.
She was told a lot of stories about those rebels. She had even been told they were the disease that corrodes her kingdom and they were death. She was taught to hate them. She was taught to remain away from them, from the day she was born.
Both hawks kept staring her. He went a little bit near and stretched his hands to aid her. She too kept starring them, without any improvement. If death was definite, it would not be from his hand.
He withdrew his hands and started to remove the ragged cloths around his face which was hiding his eyes and partly his vision. Then he got a very clear image of her, yet he was same. He stretched his hands again.
After seeing him, Natalie was not the same.
"The prince came and rescued the princess..."
Her mother words, she heard it again.
If it was from his hands even death is virtue.
She felt empty under her chest. She felt something inside her stomach; it made her hard to breath. Natalie was thrilled, not because of the roaring water current flowing under her feet but of the young lad stretching his hands for her. Her blue almond eyes kept staring his black eyes.
Just like him those old logs weren't ready to read her eyes; they hurried. One wood liberated from the worn ropes fell into Golden River. Shook by this jolt, she came back to life. She grabbed his hands with haste.
That lad held her tender hands with his and gripped her tightly but gently. He raised her carefully and threw her on land. When she managed to stand gradually, he flew into the dark, back again from where he came.
Natalie kept starring the woods, into which he dissolved and disappeared.
"Hawk, he is." She said to herself hoping this would help her to resist this sudden change in her heart. Unfortunately, her heart was stronger than she predicted.

Teen Takes Tim Tebow to Prom…Sort of
Prom season is upon us, so what's a girl to do when she has no date?
Tweet Tim Tebow, of course. And when he doesn't respond?
Well then you take matters into your own hands!
It reportedly all started when a friend offered her 50 bucks if she walked into Prom with Tebow on her arm.
So she tried to reach him via Twitter, his agents, and the Jets. No go.
But Rachel Bird wasn't going to let a snub from Timmy get her down. So she did what any rational teenager (ha!) would do. She made a Tebow cardboard cutout. And took it to Prom.
Totally normal.
In his defense, the newest member of the Jets was probably too busy going to church or doing whatever Tebow-type things he does.
A (male) co-worker of mine brought up a valid point, "I don't understand how that girl couldn't get a date…"
I said, "Well, hello, who would want to play second string to Tim Tebow??"
His response? "Not Mark Sanchez, that's for sure."
Though we agree that Sanchez most definitely would have flown across the country to take her on a date.
If anyone is willing to make a cardboard cutout of Lou, I'm pretty sure you could fit it in a small clutch, and I'd LOVE to see those pictures. Just saying.
If you could take any celeb to a special event, who would it be? Tell us below!

There's something comforting about soup and a sandwich.
Raw crudités, some brie and grapes.
It's an easy lunch. Healthy, full of flavor. Everything that a good meal should be.
As for Edy, I like to give her a little something special sometimes too.
A baked potato:
…sometimes some beans, or baby carrots.
Just no raisins or grapes for dogs.
She loves the little extra additions to her food.
What's your favorite "easy" meal?
Do you ever feed your dog veggies?

Wanted: Bits of old Warren
Have any bits of Warren history lying around your house? The Warren Preservation Society may want to borrow them.
Organizers of the society's Oral History Project are looking for specific items, from old ticket stubs to local milk bottles, to round out their exhibit, which starts this fall.
"We have a list of specific items we need in order to round out this exhibit," said coordinator Helen Hawkins. "It's likely current residents have some of these items packed away in boxes or trunks."
The project includes oral histories taken from nine members of the so-called "Silent Generation," or those born between 1925 and 1942. Organizers said of those interviewed, that though their Warren experiences were very different, they all share common characteristics of the generation: Stable family, educated, hardworking, and content.
The items needed for the display would be borrowed in time for the exhibit's opening on Nov. 15, and returned following the close on Dec. 24.
Here is a partial list of items being sought for the display (the dates will range, mostly, from the 1930s to '60s. Photos of:
• Drug stores
• Town Hall canteen dances
• The Horribles Parade
• The 1947 Bicentennial Pageant
• The Navy Ship Yard
• Sailors from the United Kingdom
• The Hurricane of '38
• The Torch Light Parade
• Amateur art shows
• Swimming in the Warren and Kickemuit rivers
• Burrs Hill Park
• The Warren Festival
• Road running races
• Henry Hands Pond
• Jamiel's Park carnivals
• Candy stores (Barker's Candy)
• Dances at the French Club
• Newberry's
• Woolworths
• The zipper factory
• Lyric Theatre and Speak-easys.
Also needed are tickets and programs from any of the above. Artifacts being sought include:
• Machine and mill shop tools
• Milk bottles
• Crystal radio sets
• A homemade football
• Signs and advertisements from local stores
• Sports memorabilia such as jerseys and team shirts.
Also, project members are still looking for people to interview. To loan items or find out more about interviews (which will be included in future events) contact Helen Hawkins at 289-2549 or firstname.lastname@example.com, before Sunday, Sept. 15.
"Warren: A point of view – Stories of the Silent Generation," is presented in collaboration by the Imago Foundation for the Arts and the Warren Preservation Society. Residents interviewed include Bertha Lial, Don Primiano, Pat Read, Tony DaPonte, Robert Barry, Judith Davidson, Madeline Ernest, Alex Mikulski and Jennie Proto.
Don't you think someone from the Jamiel Family should be interviewed since they have been a mainstay in Warren for over 80 years? I am sure Bolus Jamiel has lots of memories. Albert Jamiel Senior sold War bonds in front of his department store on Market St, along with his daughters Melia and Zeina.........
Just a thought!

- Practical advice to help you regularly save money and invest
- Find companies you can trust and the best financial products
- Impartial pensions and Isa tips without the financial jargon
- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
My wife worked for our county council for a time, but has had to stop to care for me as I am ill. She has a very small pension with the council, which is expected to pay out about £800 a year when she retires.
As the pension is so small, she requested she be eligible to take it as a lump sum as it would cost more to administer it. However, the council has refused my wife's request, saying she does not meet the criteria for taking her pension early and says it isn't aware of any rules allowing her to take the pension as a lump sum.
I know there was a loophole allowing people with small pensions to take the money as a lump sum as I did it a few years ago when I started to become ill. Does the loophole still exist, or is the council's pension team correct?
It is possible for those with low levels of pension savings to take their pension as a lump sum. These are the 'trivial commutation' rules and they allow those with total pension funds worth no more than 1% of the current lifetime allowance to be paid as a lump sum.
The current lifetime allowance is £1.8 million and so this would apply for those with pension savings of £18,000 or less.
However, the link with the lifetime allowance disappeared from 5 April 2012 when £18,000 became the maximum allowable figure.
There are other requirements that need to be satisfied but this is the most important.
I don't know the value of your wife's pension, but if it is greater than £18,000 then it cannot be paid as a lump sum under these rules. However, as her pension is from the county council, it is likely to have some guarantees and future escalation built in. If that is the case, then the total fund value required to provide a starting pension of £800 each year would be significantly more than £18,000.
I recommend that your wife seeks independent financial advice to make sure she can't claim the lump sum, but if my assumptions about the value of her pot are correct that seems unlikely.

I took my pension worth £50,00 two years ago I now find I had another small pension of £5,000 from another company, how do I use this as the pension won!t be much and I do believe I am unable to add this to an existing pension . Where do I go from here. By the way I do have a financial advisor, how this was missed I do not know
Thats interesting, I am in the midst of claiming a small pension of arounf £6,000 from a personal pension plan with Skandia for my wife. This is on the basis of her ill health and she also receives £166 per month from her local council superannuation scheme on an ill health basis. Skandia have informed me that there has to be a 50% spouses pension left besfore any lump sum can be taken. I am alittle bewildered about this as I did not think this was part and parcel of the pesion so maybe you can clarify this for me.

Where I stayed
Hotel Weltevreden
A kindly tuk tuk driver took me on a little walking tour of the narrow strees. We passed shops that had been in the family for generations. Some were selling silver and precious stones for whcih Sri Lanka is famous. Jewellery making is a speciality and there were some very nice pieces but all outside my price range. After a while we arrived at a little stall in the back streets
There were several very old buildings which in their time must have been very nice. Obviously the wealthy would have lived here. On the fort walls were several places where there were gun placements but I have no idea of the full history of this place.The Dutch were the original builders of the fort and there is a Dutch church dating from 1754. I stayed in a former Dutch villa
By the former main gate is a clocktower which features in the photos of this town. From that part of the fortifications its possible to look down on the international cricket ground which is across the road. I can imagine that on match days the old walls would be packed with non paying spectators. I watched a match between 2 public schools and was impressed by the standard of cricket . No wonder Sri Lanka were world champions not so long ago
From the old railway station I took a train north to the ' cultural triangle ' of Sri Lanka. Anuradhapura is the former old capital which is only 300 kms away but it took the train all day to reach it. I got a 2nd class ticket but no seat allocation so it was a free for all when the train arrived.. The seats were hard and it was hot inside. The small ceiling fans were largely ineffective. Every time we came to a station several a venders got on to entice us with their goods. One could eat very cheaply ( if you had the money ) and need not go hungry. r cW
There is a lot to see in Anuradhapura and I will need a guide

I have a Magstar WordPress Theme. I'd like to change de height of the gray button.
See to this link the screenshot (green arrow): http://www.blogonvaou.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/gray-button.jpg
Could someone help me please ?
If you bought the theme here, contact the autor. If you didn't then provide us a live preview.
You probably should contact the author, but as a quick fix I'd imagine that whole navigation has some sort of padding or a border causing that to happen – deliberately too I'd imagine.
Just play with padding values like this:
#yourNavigationID a { display:block; padding:10px 5px 10px 5px; }

I've been banded for six years and in that time have reached my goal weight (115 lbs loss). I can easily attribute half to the band and half to the love of exercise I developed, along with a healthy mostly vegan diet. I currently have very little restriction. Is it really so crazy to think I could maintain my weight if I opted to have the band removed to avoid future complications?
Will Lap Band Removal Always Result in Weight Gain?
Doctor Answers 2
Lap-Band Removal
The Lap Band is designed to be a permanent implant. If the Lap Band is removed, studies show that patients will likely regain the weight they have lost. During the Lap Band procedure there are no permanent changes made to the stomach, so if the band is removed the stomach will return to the configuration and function it had prior to the procedure.
Options after successful lapband
It is not crazy to think about lapband removal after successful weight loss. As you have made the necessary lifestyle and behavior changes needed for long term success, many of my patients have wondered about removal. The only worry is that without the device to allow hunger satisfaction with small amounts of food, will you be forced to eat larger quantities and possibly put some or most of the weight back on. The best way to test this is by completely defilling your band for 6 months to a year. If you can maintain your weight without any difficulty, you should be ok to remove it. As long as you understand that most people regain the weight, and you would have to be very vigilant for life not to put the weight back on. Many patients are content leaving it defilled so there is no restriction, but it will be there as a safety net just in case.

My First Passive Line Level XO and active Speaker Effort
4 Attachment(s)
I almost finished my first DIY speaker, an active design with an unusual passive line level XO.
I used a Westra 1 inch tweeter and a Philips made 4.5 inch mid/bass that I was able to source locally. Unfortunetly it's quite hard to find decent speakers in here, Turkey, as there seems to be hardly enough market.
I was quite lucky as they had very similar sensivity (90db), as smaller mid/bass drivers usually provide considerably less output. And I also recognized that I was quite lucky to find a driver with 4.5 inch cone and almost 4.6 inch mounting diameter, wasting no room for the frame basket, while also making it quite difficult to flush mount.
Two pairs of drivers cost me 80 USD, not cheap but they were one of the very few options.
I sourced the internal amplifiers from ebay and they are NE5322 + LM1875T based and they accept line level inputs.
While they sound OK, or in other words good enough, what ever I did, I was unable to completely get rid of the 50hz noise. Looking at the PCB, one of my friends told me that this could be the switching noise of the onboard bridge diodes as they were not by passed by a cap.
The pcb's were not designed to be mounted directly on the heatsinks and I had to solve a lot of problems to mechnacilay mount them to heat sinks. If I did build the speakers from scratch I'd certainly take the time to modify the boards to be used over the heat sink. Output is 2x30Watt per speaker and each driver has it's own integrated amplifier.
Pair of stereo integrated amps costed me only 20 use including shipment from HK.
Enclosure is made of 2 layers of 2/3 inch (16mm) good quality mdf. Instead of gluing I screwed the outer front baffle (the inner baffle is glued) as I might change the drives later. Inside, all 6 surfaces are textured with real wood triangles to both increase the amount of surface and to decrease the amount of standing waves. I used a thick layer of accoustic foam but I think that I may add some wool also.
Mdf for two speakers costed around 40 USD and the real wood triangles (bought from Bahous and hand cut in to small pieces) costed me 20 USD.
There is an air tight sub enclosure for the tweeter to keep it away from the pressure of the mid/bass driver, which seems to push a lot of air due to it's good X-Max
The rear of the enclosure hosts the heatsink, inputs and a switch to select onboard or external XO, so that I can try several different XO's.
Enclosure is sealed type and it took some effort to seal it well due to the heatsink. If I had to rebuild it from scratch I'd definitely put the amplifier and the power transformer in a sub enclosure.
By adding an other 2/3 mdf layer to the front baffle I think I aligned the acoustic centers of the drivers.
Power transformer is 160 Watts capable standard laminated type. That seems to be more than enough for the integrated amp. The cost for two was 40 USD.
Switchs, buttons and other stuff costed an additional 15 USD.
So total material cost was around 220 USD not including many tools I had to purchase to finish this thing and it's still not painted.
I opted for a line level passive XO due to several reasons
1) Amplifiers are integrated and will not be changed.
2) There is plenty of power to recover from the insertion loss of the line level XO
3) Mid bass is small enough and has a usable output to 10khz and thanks to it's paper cone cone breakup is not much, so I didn't need a 3rd or 4th order XO
4) It's very easy to design a PLL XO and fine tune it compared to other types.
I am currently running the system with a 6db XO at 3khz.
Each speaker has a weight of 18.5 kg (aka a lot )
I only did a 2 hr listening and here are my initial findings with the system. ( I haven't A B 'ed them with my other bookshelves)
There is significant bass dip around 250 hz, that can be measured but I don't think I can hear it. ( This can be the baffle step)
There seems to be enough bass from 80hz and up
Speakers image very well and disappear without effort even at close listening positions.
There seems to be a lack of openness in the upper end of spectrum ( tweeter quality??)
Midrange is open and transparent but can benefit from a better driver certainly.
Overall sound is quite good compared to the money I spent, actually far better than I thought it was possible with these drivers. I will post more after more listening tests
the main benefit of going active is in the reduced intermod distortion between woofer & mid, & using passive line level xo you can compensate for baffle step at the same time.
Are you going to add woofers later?
Honestly I don't think that I will be adding woofers any time soon. How can I compensate for baffle step with the XO ?
well, if you're adding woofers, just make the xover point at the BSC frequency, & adjust the woofer amp level.
You can also do it at line level this way: Baffle Step Compensation
Thanks a lot. I will be implementing it today, planning to implement it with an on/off switch.
As you can see from the images speaker has 2 baffle widths. Should I use the exterior one, that the woofer is mounted on, or should I use the average ...
best regards

It looked like captain Jay Emmanuel-Thomas had continued his incredible FA Youth Cup goalscoring run with a 72nd-minute header in Arsenal's Semi-Final first leg against Manchester City on Wednesday night.
However, after the game, Emmanuel-Thomas revealed that the final touch may have come from a City player. Nevertheless, the goal brought the Gunners back on terms with the current Youth Cup holders and 10 minutes later Gilles Sunu made it 2-1.
In this exclusive interview, Jay discussed:
- another comeback
- Man City's direct approach
- trying to force the play
- upping the tempo in the second half
- the story behind his goal
- set-piece routines
- looking forward to the second leg

Honestly, we have no plans to sell honey. We figure Christmas gifts are covered. My wife probably won't use my lab logo, but I doubt any of the neighbors would turn it down.
Bee Barf would probably sell at a junior high school. Nuclear honey might do well as a chili or hot sauce ingredient.
I agree, this is no mass marketing strategy. It would serve people who want to keep their honey for themselves.
As for UV fluorescence having anything to do with impurity, lots of biological fluids fluoresce. It doesn't mean they are impure. It may mean they have some phosphorus in them, and as has been pointed out above, other things will do it too.

Device maker Lantronix has set up a new professional services business aimed at assisting customers with the development and introduction of customized M2M applications and solutions.
The company said the range of services spanned minor engineering to large, enterprise-level projects and included developing fully customized versions and deployments of Lantronix (Irvine, CA, USA) products.
"Today, more and more companies are seeking M2M solutions that enable them to securely connect to and manage the machines that are critical to their business operations," said Kurt Busch, president and chief executive officer of Lantronix. "We believe our professional services will help us to create deeper relationships with our customers and end-users of our products."
Lantronix appears to have made the professional services move in anticipation of explosive growth in the M2M market.
It cites a forecast from IDC that the components, processes and supporting IT and connectivity for the Internet of Things will generate revenues of $8.9 trillion by 2020, by when there will be an estimated 212 billion connected devices – up from just 15 billion today.
"Developing and deploying the right M2M solution can be a complex process," said Daryl Miller, vice president of engineering at Lantronix. "Lantronix takes pride in helping our customers to create innovative M2M solutions with the highest level of reliability."
"Our professional services will enable customers to tap into our extensive expertise to quickly deploy a best-in-class solution," added Miller.
Lantronix is likely to face strong competition in the professional services area from other M2M device makers that have been trying to dominate other parts of the M2M value chain.
Nevertheless, the company says it plans to help customers with every stage of implementing an M2M solution, from planning, assessment and design to implementation, testing and post-deployment support.
Lantronix says it already provides comprehensive, real-time device management and diagnostic tools to customers with existing M2M installments.

Nano to Ride on Innovative MarketingNandini Sen Gupta
The Tata Nano will ride on a clutch of innovative marketing ideas when it rolls into showrooms across the country. The Rs 1 lakh car, which broke new ground in design, engineering and production processes, will opt for "cost-effective and innovative use of media," say people with knowledge of the Nano marketing strategy.
To make the car more easily accessible to people, the Tata Motors team will sell the Nano not just through Tata car dealerships across the country, but also through conventional retail outlets like Westside and Croma.
Westside is a lifestyle retail brand and Croma is an electronic megastore. Both are owned by the Tata group. Westside and Croma outlets will display the Nano and also take bookings. Also available will be a whole range of Nano merchandise like baseball caps, T-shirts and key chains, among others.
Carrying forward its vendor partnership production strategy, Tata Motors will share promotion of the Nano brand with its multiple PSU bank partners. These PSU financiers will promote the Nano brand during booking jointly with Tata Motors and on their own.
The Nano's overall marketing strategy will use conventional media in an unconventional manner. Unlike most small cars, Nano won't be big on advertising. There will be no TV campaign, only innovative use of print, radio and other media, particularly the web. The Tata team is working on Nano news in papers, Nano breaks on radio, Nano appearing in the form of messages or ticker news on TV, online Nano games, Nano chatrooms on the Net, Nano pop-ups on major websites and Nano conversation on Facebook, Orkut and blogspaces.
According to people in the ad industry with direct knowledge of the Nano's marketing strategy, the campaign will be cost-effective and innovative so that Nano becomes synonymous with anything "small, cute and brief." "The idea is to make the Nano part of our everyday lingo like 'see you after a nano,' it's a totally word-of-mouth campaign," said a person familiar with the Nano marketing strategy.
Tata Motors has appointed Rediffusion for creative content in the Nano campaign. Lodestar will handle media buying for the Rs 1 lakh car. "The Nano is a huge brand and one of the most interesting accounts in the automobile business," said the COO of a top ad agency based in Delhi. "However, it is still not clear just how big the account will be."

CROWN C by Martin Saddlery
Sherry Cervi teamed up with Martin Saddlery to design the Crown C Barrel Racer. The Crown C's specific design helps barrel racers maintain proper body position and stability during a run. It employs attributes that aid barrel racers in absorbing those quick jarring movements common with today's faster, more athletic barrel horses. When championships are determined by hundredths of a second, the Crown C gives riders a competitive advantage that truly makes a difference in their performance.
• Features the new *SPRS*, Martin's Stirrup Positioning Rig Slot which holds fenders in forward position and offers resistance, keeping rider deep in the seat pocket
• Shortened seat jockey (distance between the swell and cantle) gives the rider increased stability without hindering her freedom to stand up and sit down when necessary
• Forward angled stirrups help keep the rider's feet in front of her center of balance for better body position in the turns
• Though the stirrups are angled forward, they are designed to give the rider a full range of motion to cue the horse as needed
• Straight up and down saddle horn allows the rider to brace and support her body without losing balance
• Horn cap is shaped to fit perfectly in the rider's palm, accommodating added support and comfort for those who prefer to grab the top of the horn
• Available with Adjustable Rig only
There are few cowgirls today who are as well-respected as Sherry Cervi. With multiple NFR Qualifications and World Championships on several different horses, Sherry's continued success marks her as an exceptional horse trainer. Sherry designed her Signature Collection with consideration of all stages of training and the action of the bits. All of Sherry's bits are nicely weighted to provide quick pickup and release. This means it takes deliberate action to cue the horse, with immediate release of pressure when you drop your hands. Her snaffles have weighted Dee rings with a light stainless mouthpiece that glides effortlessly. The Sherry Cervi Signature Collection combines functionality with a distinctive silver scrollwork for a great look and feel.

I have over the last few years found more then just a few studies that show forage plants that grow in fields that were previously used for crops with neonicitinoids had levels of the chemicals in them. Although those levels in some cases are below the LD50 for adult honeybees I believe over time the cumulative presence in the hives will cause issues. Studies have also found levels above the LD50 which obviously will cause colony mortality.
I would like beekeepers who state they have no issues with having their bees near these treated crop to answer a few questions.
Are the fields planted with corn rotated with other crops that provide bee forage?
Are these fields planted by farmers that have up to date equipment or are they still using old planters?
For sake of discussing and not arguing can those of you who have no issues near corn post what your floral sources are that are near these fields? Also what are your yearly loss percentages? Of those losses do you know for certain what caused them?
My personal problems appear during planting time and Dandelion bloom. When woodland forage like Cherry, Blackberry, Locust and Basswood are being worked I won't see the "pesticide like kill" at the hives. Sometimes in certain yards it will reappear when the hives start working clover and alfalfa in fields adjacent to the corn fields and sometimes those fields were previously corn.

When I got my German Shepard, I had plans to protection train him. The trainer I took him to (at 1 year old) told me not to waste my money. He is just not a protection type dog.
If I had to do it over again, this is what I would do. When you go to visit the litter, take a vet and the trainer you are going to use. They can evaluate the dog. The vet for his health, the trainer for his personality. It may be way too early for the trainer, but you should ask to see if he/she can evaluate the dog for the right personality traits at this age. If not, it will be a crap shoot, sorry to say.
This may cost a few bucks, but the dog is going to be a 10-15 year investment. It is well worth the cost.
