Having already taken you shopping down on Saint-Paul, it seemed like the time to take you uptown. Laurier Avenue West dissects two Montreal neighbourhoods: Outremont (west of Parc Avenue) and Le Plateau (to the east). Constantly evolving, this little stretch of retail therapy just north of Mount Royal is as sophisticated as it is decidedly French in feel…
If you're starting the day in the area, I recommend brunch at either fancy-schmancy Lemeac, which is celebrated for their classic bistro style and celeb-spotting (wearing Chanel for breakfast is not extraordinary here), or Toi, Moi & Cafe, who serve the "La Parisienne" breakfast of two boiled eggs, baguette strips for dipping, a stewed/baked apple and slices of cheese. If you just need a coffee and a croissant or a hot soup, look north to Gascogne, where the attendants wear little black hats and long aprons just like they do in Paris.
For fine lingerie, the top spot in the city is surely Lyla, where the first floor is devoted to high-end brands such as Simone Pérèle and Princesse Tam Tam. Upstairs you'll find designer sportswear, like the colourful little Missoni dress I saw not too long ago. There is also swimwear up there; a treasure trove for daring bikinis by Jean Paul Gaultier or more classic styles such as Eres.
For more haute labels (albeit outerwear) like Armani, Yamamoto and Sonia Rykiel, Henriette L caters to a sophisticated business woman, or the many ladies who lunch in the area before getting their nails done at Lio Fratelli, a luxurious mani and pedi salon. Younger styles can be found at Billie or BCBG, which are just across the street. Men will want to browse the trendy racks filled with the likes of Neil Barrett, Costume National and more at Michel Brisson, who recently moved just a few blocks west to this bigger location.
For more domestic divas, Les Touilleurs is a kitchen paradise with all the All Clad pots, pans, gadgets and cookbooks (in both English and French) you could ever dream of. The store's all-white decor seems to be a magnet for foodies, particularly ones with deep pockets. From the kitchen to the baby's room, you'll find everything thing you need to build your little angel's new nest at Bouton Jaune– from the softest sheets and pillows to plushest cradle toys and onesies. A colourful place to buy one-of-a-kind gifts (for your loved-ones or yourself), Royer (207 Laurier Avenue West) sells art objects and creative decor pieces made with love from a large roster of Montreal artists and artisans. You'll find treasures such as pretty coin purses crafted from Japanese kimono to modern ceramic vases.
Finally, if you're shopping for a little "me time," why not get a pampering hair treatment at Salon Orbite, the headquarters (literally) for many of the city's well-known tresses. Their in-store boutique also carries a lot of high-end, hard-to-find beauty products such as the Shiseido hair collection, OPI, Aveda and MD Skinare. It's not cheap, but I'm pretty sure you deserve it.

The design of this eyelash curler is ingenious. I've been using curlers for 42 years now. The typical ones you think of. I saw this one and thought I would try it just because it WAS different. I am so glad I did. It hardly takes any pressure. You gently squeeze with your thumb and pointer finger. No effort, your lashes are curled. You can easily crimp around your entire eye as the curve is easy to get your lashes into. Take it from a seasoned pro who when she was learning as a teen with those metal curlers from the make-up dark ages and slipped while holding her lashes tight thus ripping all of them out from that eye. There is a better way...Here it is! I will never go back.5
This is the perfect curler for me. It exceeds all my preferences: compact sleek design, good for travel, day-long (or 2!) curl, close-to-lashline crimping, natural curl, adjustable & even curl depending on pressure applied. PLUS, bonus points for lifetime replacement pads and, albeit small design (major plus), there is still a back-up replacement pad within the curler base. A wonderful creation. I am so happy to have found this here. I highly recommend this lash curler!5
This compact curler works better than any eyelash curler I have tried. It is great for travel or everyday use. A great tool for the eyelash obsessed gal! It may take time to get used to using if you have used a regular sized curler in the past but once you adjust, you will be hooked!5
VERY disappointed in this product. After reading the reviews I expected it to work, but not at all and it pinches my skin no matter where I position it. I would return it if I had kept the packaging. It also has a very cheap plastic feel to it. Save your money and use the tried and true lash curler.

I met Cheviac at the Arboretum parking lot to try and find a few caches today. It was cold but, it was perfect for hiking and walking this terrain. I headed to the coordinates solo as Cheviac had found this during a prior visit. I hiked up the hill to the likely area and peeked in every spot I thought would hold the cache. I noticed something first thing when I arrived at GZ but, left it alone. I eventually checked that something and sure enough that's where it was. TFTC!

probellems with b&m shift kit
should my shift kit work if i don't have the kickdown cab;e hooked up, i have a 81 malibu with a th350, and i put the shift kit in myself, did i mess something up or will it work with that kickdown cable hooked up.
Chevy G-Body Malibu For Life!
The 'kickdown' cable does much more than just shift to second when you punch the throttle. It also gives the tranny other signals so it will shift properly at other speeds than WOT. Don't even cosider running on the street w/o the throttle cable hooked up and properly adjusted.
HEY LOUD: I ran a B&M Shift kit without the kick down cable on a 350/350 setup for about ten years without any problem. Last winter I went to a Transco shift kit from Sumitt Racing and it is much better but I still do not run a kick down cable I am not saying that it is better or worse but just answering your initial question that YES you can run okay without the cable connected....DAVE
th350s shifts are vacuum modulater controlled. The kickdown cable just kicks down a gear.
are you sure you dont have a th350c?
T-350 upshifts are controlled by vacuum, the governor and the cable hooked to the carb.
At low speeds the vacuum modulator controls the upshifts along with the governor.
As the throttle is opened the detent cable is pulled and along with lower vacuum the main line pressure is increased. This results in higher shift points .
At low speeds, the governor springs control the upshifts more till around 35 mph depending on gear ratio, tire size etc. After that the governor weights control the upshifts.
Most folks think the cable on a T-350 is merely a passing gear. On a tranny dyno I can run a T-350 up to 3500 rpm in high gear with NO cable pull. I can then pull the cable to MAX and the main line pressure will rise an average of 15% or more. Depending on the setup on the governor and other valve body items, the tranny make kick down to second gear too.
Many folks think the cable can be unhooked and all is well. I disagree since the cable pull increases main line pressure which equals more holding power for the clutch packs.
Since many of us here are into performance with these trannys, I think more holding poower is good.
just my opinion.
[ March 04, 2003: Message edited by: Crosley ]</p>
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
well it is a th350c and i bought the shift kit for that type of tranny,
it still shifts like stock you know the old shift it then 1 second later it shifters after revving up
so i guess i messed up, DAM gunna go take it out soon and fix it
Chevy G-Body Malibu For Life!
many shift kits and shift improvement kits state that this kit is not a cure all for ailing transmissions. I dont know how many times I've had someone come to my shop for a shift kit but the transmission was shot but his buddy told him a shift kit would make it like new! most 350 transmission can be made to work great with out buying any thing, just get some one to share their
knowlege with you. some do it your self guys here are quick to point out web sites but dont know anything else.
well i thought it was in good shape. i might have messed something up with the shift kit which is probally what happened. but im gunna have the tranny rebuilt and with the shift kit.
Chevy G-Body Malibu For Life!
hi ya i ran the street n strip year back with a 350 trans without a kickdown and my mt trans in drive position and the pedal mashed to the floor it would slam into 2 gear at 82 mph by using a 1 3/4 adjustible vacumn modulotor valvw with the adjusting skrew all the wat to right AKA every full turn to the right is about 3 mph increase Oh bye the way i had airplane gears 2.73 but it ran bracket 2 in the 8th mile ,nothing like crossing the finish line in 1st gear...cable-chopper mark...

Issues of morality at Asbury University are seen as those which can be delineated as right, virtuous and just and are based on Biblical mandates. Discernment in these moral issues is important in our development as individual believers, and violations in this category often result in greater disciplinary consequences. Offenses of sexual immorality, abortion and drunkenness (alcohol or drug induced) are almost certain to result in immediate dismissal from the University.
- Christ-Like Attributes Encouraged: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control are Christ-like attributes that can be demonstrated through the power of the Holy Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23 declares these as demonstrations of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, and we should encourage one another to practice these in our relationships.)
- Sinful Attitudes Discouraged: Hatred, discord, jealousy, uncontrolled anger, greed, quarreling and envy are condemned in Galatians 5:19-21, hinder our relationship with others and are not acceptable Asbury community attitudes.
- Idolatry and Occult Practices: Also condemned in Galatians 5 and should not be practiced.
- Human Sexuality: The University affirms the Biblical view of human sexuality as being expressed fully in the context of a marriage between a man and a woman. To view the University's entire statement on human sexuality, click here.
- Sexual Immorality (including adultery, homosexual behavior and premarital sexual intimacy): These behaviors are expressly prohibited in Scripture. Offenses in this area could result in immediate dismissal from the University.
- Pregnancy: Because of the high value of the sanctity of life, students who become pregnant outside of marriage will receive care and support that is in the best interest of the child, mother and the community.
- Abortion: Abortion violates Biblical principles regarding the sanctity of life and should never be encouraged or condoned. Getting an elective abortion to terminate an unwanted pregnancy will lead to almost certain dismissal from the University.
- Pornography: The use of pornography in any form is demeaning and damaging to individuals and is therefore prohibited. The University feels that its use is inconsistent with Biblical principles.
- Immodesty of Dress: Scripture is clear that immodesty of dress is to be avoided. The University supports this admonition and reserves the right to determine for this community what that may include. (See also Propriety section.)
- Speech: Lying, dishonesty, gossip, slander, profanity and vulgarity (including crude language) are expressly prohibited in Scripture. Such speech is not helpful for building others up and should be avoided.
- Theft (including plagiarism): Expressly prohibited in Scripture and not acceptable behavior.
- Gambling: Scripture is clear in principles regarding the use of money, and gambling activities are inconsistent with those principles.
- Alcohol: Drunkenness is explicitly addressed in Scripture as immoral and will likely lead to dismissal. In addition, the use of any alcohol can be damaging to the individual and community (see also Honor section) and is therefore prohibited.
- Local, State, Federal Laws / Submission to Authority: Romans 13:1 is clear that we should subject ourselves to the authority of the government. Asbury University community members are expected to uphold all local, state and federal laws. Arrest on or off campus is subject to review within the University's disciplinary procedures.
- Civil Disobedience: On rare occasions civil laws might require behavior that is contrary to God's law as found in Scripture. In such cases, each individual would submit voluntarily to the civil penalty for his or her behavior, and said behavior would be reviewed within the University's disciplinary procedures.

.Goerme and the carpets
... as the heat was drying everything so quickly. Dipping in and out of the pool was wonderful. I felt so energetic; I just wanted to swim all morning.
At lunch time, we took a taxi into the town Goerme in order to visit a carpet ship. The owner and his assistants went into intricate detail about the different styles of carpets from differing parts of Turkey; the different dyes used to colour them; the ...
... sad story. Our first activity of the day was visiting the Goreme Open Air Museum. After Jesus was crucified, monks moved to this area and carved caves into the rocks. The purpose was to "feel Jesus' pain" and meditate in solitude. Eventually one of the monks organized them into a community with common clothing, and they built churches for worshipping. So the open air museum is really just walking around this area and viewing the ...
... we met whilst scrambling now recognise my sense of humour failure face!
We now have 5 more nights left in Turkey, 1 more here (and that means the last of the brilliant showers), 2 bushcamps and 2 nights in a "campsite", although this sounds like the first one, with 2 loos and 1 cold shower. Lets hope it doesn't rain.
The group is still getting on, which is a good thing, and there are no real divisions (that I can tell) yet. Long may it last.
Cappadocia tour day!
... when the tour for the whole day only cost �22. After lunch we stopped at a place called Uchisar Castle. It was another massive rock with a lot of rooms carved into it. It was more of a fortress back in the day than a castle. It was a great sight to see. And just across the road was the Badlands, which was another cool looking landscape that I hadn't seen before. This kind of rock called Tuff is very soft, because it's ...

So when Darren got back we went inside with Tom where we found them, but they were all headsets for different types of phones, not simple jack inputs! We asked the guy at the counter who told us they had them next door, so we went over there and found a pair almost identical to the ones he'd lost! Yay! It ...

FACT CHECK: Paul Ryan's New Op-Ed is Filled with Falsehoods
In today's Tampa Bay Times, Republican Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (WI-01) makes a series of false and misleading claims about the House Republican budget. Ryan claims that the plan would improve the economy, keep promises for retirement security, close tax loopholes, and even that it preserves traditional Medicare.
In reality, the Republican budget would do none of that. Check the facts for yourself.
Ryan's Republican budget would end the Medicare guarantee and shift costs to seniors according to the independent Congressional Budget Office, while protecting tax breaks for the ultra wealthy and Big Oil companies. The plan also threatens to destroy millions of American jobs, while increasing the deficit.
1) False Claim: Ryan writes, "The Path to Prosperity, which builds on reforms and bipartisan solutions offered over the last year, provides a future of economic prosperity and opportunity…"
Fact Check: Ryan's plan threatens the economy and will cost American jobs.
- Ryan Plan Destroys 1.3 Million Jobs in 2013. "Paul Ryan's latest budget doesn't just fail to address job creation, it aggressively slows job growth. Against a current policy baseline, the budget cuts discretionary programs by about $120 billion over the next two years and mandatory programs by $284 billion, sucking demand out of the economy when it most needs it and leading to job loss. Using a standard macroeconomic model that is consistent with that used by private- and public-sector forecasters, the shock to aggregate demand from near-term spending cuts would result in roughly 1.3 million jobs lost in 2013 and 2.8 million jobs lost in 2014, or 4.1 million jobs through 2014." [Economic Policy Institute, 3/21/12]
- Ryan's Plan Would Impede the Nation's Economic Recovery. "These extreme cuts and changes would greatly impede the nation's economic recovery, and hurt those on the middle and lower economic rungs who suffered most from the recession." [New York Times Editorial, 3/20/12]
- Ryan's Plan Threatens the Middle Class. "Each component of the new House Republican budget threatens the middle class while doing nothing to add jobs or grow our economy. It ends the guarantee of decent insurance for senior citizens, breaking Medicare's bedrock promise. It slashes investments in education, infrastructure, and basic research, all of which are key drivers of economic growth and mobility. And it cuts taxes for those at the top, asking the middle class to pick up the tab. It's a budget designed to benefit the top 1 percent at everyone else's expense." [Center for American Progress, 3/20/12]
2) False Claim: Ryan's plan "delivers on the promises made to the American people… [and] strengthens health and retirement security..."
Fact Check: Ryan's plan ends Medicare and would force seniors to pay more for coverage.
- Congressional Budget Office: Ryan's Plan Would Likely Shrink Medicare Benefits, Increase Number Of Uninsured. "Medicare benefits would likely shrink under Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) latest proposal, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said Tuesday. The budget office also said the number of people without health insurance could be 'much higher' under Ryan's plan because it would repeal President Obama's healthcare law. Ryan's Medicare plan would convert some of the program's funding into subsidies for private insurance. Seniors could choose between the traditional single-payer program or a private plan." [The Hill, 3/20/11]
- AARP: Ryan's Plan Would Increase Health Care Costs for Older Americans. AARP CEO Addison Barry Rand wrote to Members of Congress on House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's Fiscal Year 2013 budget resolution. In the letter, Rand wrote: "this proposal simply shifts these high and growing costs onto Medicare beneficiaries, and it then shifts even higher costs of increased uninsured care onto everyone else […] By creating a 'premium support' system for future Medicare beneficiaries, the proposal is likely to simply increase costs for beneficiaries while removing Medicare's promise of secure health coverage -- a guarantee that future seniors have contributed to through a lifetime of hard work." [AARP Letter, 3/21/12]
- Ryan's Plan Would End Medicare's Guarantee to Pay for Older American's Health Care Needs. Ryan's plan would mean that "older Americans no longer have a guarantee that Medicare will pay for their health needs […] "Over all, about half of Mr. Ryan's $5 trillion in cuts over a decade would come from health care. His plan to convert Medicare to a 'premium support' system, though less damaging than last year's proposal, still weakens a guarantee to the elderly and risks driving up costs for future beneficiaries." [New York Times Editorial, 3/20/12]
3) False Claim: Ryan's plan provides a "future where we pay down our $15 trillion national debt."
Fact Check: Ryan's plan increases the deficit.
- Ryan's Plan Adds $3.1 Trillion to the Deficit; Adds More to the Deficit than Under Current Law. "Ryan's blueprint, 'The Path to Prosperity,' would add $3.127 trillion to the deficit during the decade spanning 2013 to 2022, according to a table on page 88 of the plan. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in its March 2012 projections that if 'current laws generally remain unchanged,' the federal government would incur deficits totaling $2.887 trillion from 2013 to 2022. In other words, Congress would save more money over the next decade if it allowed current law to continue than if it adopted Ryan's budget." [The Hill, 3/20/12]
- Tax Expert Called Ryan's Budget Plan Phony. "He's a phony," Robert McIntyre, the director of Citizens for Tax Justice said of Rep. Ryan. "But he's always been a phony […] This is all smoke mirrors and no deficit reduction," McIntyre concludes. "Have you seen the cover? It's beautiful. That's the best part. But he is proposing to increase the budget deficit over the long term." [Citizens for Tax Justice, 3/20/12]
4) False Claim: Ryan's plan provides a "level playing field for all by putting an end to special-interest favoritism and corporate welfare…" and "clos[es] loopholes and put[s] hardworking taxpayers ahead of special interests."
Fact Check: The House Republican budget expands tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, while protecting tax loopholes like those for Big Oil.
- $150,000 Tax Break to Millionaires. Ryan's plan specifies more than $1 trillion in tax cuts for families making more than $250,000. This equates to an average tax cut of at least $150,000 per millionaire. [White House Analysis of House Republican Budget, 3/21/12]
- $3 Trillion in Tax Cuts for People Earning Over $200,000. Ryan's plan calls for tax cuts of roughly $3 trillion, with most of the tax cuts going to people earning more than $200,000. [Economic Policy Institute, 3/20/12]
- Ryan Budget Pads Big Oil's Pockets with Senseless Subsidies. "American families have been plagued by higher oil and gasoline prices over the past several years despite a significant increase in domestic oil production and rigs, and decline in consumption. But while high prices threaten the economy and family budgets, they enrich American oil companies with huge profits. Yet it appears that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-WI) proposed FY 2013 budget resolution would retain a decade's worth of oil tax breaks worth $40 billion. And his budget would cut billions of dollars from investments to develop alternative fuels and clean energy technologies that would serve as substitutes for oil and help protect middle-class families from volatile energy prices as well as create jobs. In short, the Ryan budget compounds the cost of high oil and gasoline prices on the middle class." [Center for American Progress, 3/20/12]
- Ryan's Budget Claims to Close Tax Loopholes is an Empty Promise. "Mr. Ryan became well known last year as the face of the most extreme budget plan passed by a house of Congress in modern times. His new budget is, if anything, worse, full of bigger, emptier promises. […] It vows to balance tax cuts for corporations and the rich by closing loopholes, but never lists the loopholes." [New York Times Editorial, 3/20/12]
- Ryan's Plan Also Encourages Companies to Ship Jobs Overseas. Currently, U.S. companies pay the tax rate of the country where the outpost is located and then, if they bring those profits home, often pay some U.S. taxes as well. Under Ryan's proposal, companies essentially would pay just the tax rate of the country where the profits are earned. According to the Tax Policy Center, exempting these offshore earning from U.S. tax liability "might encourage some domestic companies to move more of their operations—and shift both jobs and more reported income—to low tax countries." Similarly, Citizens for Tax Justice concluded that adopting this type of system would increase the incentives for job offshoring. [National Journal, 3/20/12; Wall Street Journal, 3/19/12; Tax Policy Center, 2/28/12; Citizens for Tax Justice, 10/19/11]
5) False Claim: Ryan's plan would "give future retirees the ability to choose between competing health care plans, including the traditional Medicare program…"
Fact Check: The House Republican budget would end Medicare's guarantee.
- Ryan's Plan Ends Medicare's Guaranteed Benefit. Unlike traditional Medicare, which is a defined benefit plan, the House Republican budget would change the program into a defined contribution plan. If this plan became law, starting in 2023, America's seniors would be told they can have $7,500 in "premium support." According to the New York Times, the plan is modeled after one where "the elderly would be offered an allowance that could be used to buy a private plan or the existing government coverage." [Kaiser Family Foundation, 4/11; Congressional Budget Office, 3/12; Center for American Progress, 3/20/12; CBS News, 3/20/12; New York Times, 3/12/12]
- Ryan's Plan Would End Medicare's Guarantee, Would Result in a "Death Spiral." "The new plan claims to maintain traditional Medicare as an option that seniors could choose to purchase. This sounds a little better, but in reality their latest health care scheme for senior citizens would inevitably result in a 'death spiral' for Medicare that means higher costs for seniors." [Center for American Progress, 3/20/12]

text: I bought a 06 Silverado 2500HD Crew 4x4 6.0 in January with 19,000 miles. I noticed when test driving it that it had the usual steering rattle. I have had an 01 Silverado 1500HD crew and an 05 Avalanche that both had the rattle and were easily fixed by my local Chev dealer so I wasnt worried and bought the truck anyway. Now the truck has 25k miles, dealer has replaced the I-shaft twice, the steering gear box, and the lower bearing (I assume in the column) and still hasnt been able to fix the rattle. On the last visit they messed with it for 2 days trying to find the source of the rattle with no luck, they called "GM Tech Assist" and were told that the I-shaft fix doesnt work on a crew cab truck and that it cant be fixed at this time, they are working on a fix for these trucks. Also said that larger than stock tires can make the problem worse (my truck has 265's on it which it had when I bought it from the same dealer). This is BS on a truck this new, the dealer has been great but they dont know what else to do. It annoys me so much that I even bought a $250 Borgeson aftermarket I-shaft this week and put it on myself...they are supposed to be much better built than the Chevy OEM part and will fix the problem...guess what...it didnt change it much at all. The only difference I could tell was that I could feel every little bump in the road, where before I could only feel some of them! Anyway, now I have removed it and put the new OEM part back on so I am out of ideals. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions...this sound is driving me nuts...I love the truck but I get mad as hell every time I drive it so I get zero enjoyment out of my new truck which sucks! Thanks, magstar67 email@example.com

Back in April, Ben posted about the Google Rankings/Algorithm changes known as the "Dewey Update". Those changes effected Amplify Interactive's rankings for a while as well as some of our clients. Now that things have settled down with Google, it appears that Yahoo! will have its own rankings shuffle-up. Here is a message from their search blog:
We'll be rolling out some changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days, but expect the update will be completed soon. As you know, throughout this process you may see some ranking changes and page shuffling in the index.
If you see any changes in your Yahoo! rankings "over the next few days", make a comment and let us know. Feel free to speculate – what do you think has changed & why? We'll definitely be observing these changes as we make reports for our clients next week.
The big question of course is whether these changes will be given a prominent name like Google's "Dewey", and whether you might need to know this name when studying for the Yahoo! Ambassador Test.

Lorenzo invades Germany
Giovanni Lorenzo (27-1, 19 KOs) and Sebastian Sylvester (31-3, 15 KOs) will clash for the vacant IBF middleweight title on September 19. Today Lorenzo arrived with his team in Germany. After leaving New York and a stopover in Frankfurt he reached the airport Berlin-Tegel at 7:55 am. The next two days the #1 ranked IBF contender, who was born in the Dominican Republic, will stay in Berlin. Then he will move to Neubrandenburg, where the fight against Sylvester will take place. "Now it's my turn and I'm going to come home with the title," said the 28-year old Lorenzo. But #2 ranked Sylvester, who yesterday afternoon made his last sparring session for the fight, is also confident to win the title. "I am sure my home fans in Neubrandenburg will help me to leave the ring victorious!"

After 40 years and countless international scoldings, Russia has announced it will begin loading uranium-packed fuel rods into Iran's first nuclear power plant, officially classifying the reactor as a "nuclear installation."
Western countries, led by the U.S., accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons under the guise of its civilian nuclear program. —JCL
Al-Jazeera English:
The power plant, built by Russia in the Iranian southern city of Bushehr, will be loaded with uranium-packed fuel rods after nearly 40 years of delays, a spokesman for Rosatom, the Russian atomic agency, said on Friday.
"The fuel will be charged in the reactor on August 21. From this moment, Bushehr will be considered a nuclear installation. This will be an irreversible step," Sergei Novikov told the AFP news agency.
Ali Akbar Salehi, the head Iran's atomic energy organisation, said: "We are preparing to transfer the fuel inside the plant next week ... Then we will need seven to eight days to transfer it to the core of the reactor."
AP / ISNA, Mehdi Ghasemi
Iran's Bushehr nuclear power facility sits just outside the port city of Bushehr, on the Persian Gulf about 750 miles south of Tehran.

Heparin alternatives after a BBL?
Doctor Answers 4
Blood Clot Prevention
Web reference: http://www.bitarinstitute.com/photogallery-body/#butt-lift
This medication is used to prevent any blood clots from forming after surgery, how ever I believe that you should always always talk to your Doctor about any concerns that you might have. Many Dr's have different opinions and it might not be the right one for you.
Good luck,
Dr. Campos
Heparin is it needed
If you do not have medical problems and you do not have a clotting problem heparin is not needed after the BBL. The most important thing is to walk around every 1-2 hours after the surgery. I have performed the BBL for 11 years and have never needed to prescribe any type of heparin afterwards.
Dr Michael Gartner

Alternative to Heparin?
Heparin is used to lower the risk of a potentially fatal complication after surgery. Follow your doctor's advice and if you have any questions about ti, give him/her a call. I am sure they will be more than happy to get on the phone with you or have you stop by the office to talk.

Reinstalling a retrofit window
Anyone know if it is very difficult to reinstall a retrofit window? Lowe's installed a window and it is leaking on the inside when it rains. It was a while ago they installed it so it isn't under warranty anymore. It doesn't rain a whole lot in San Diego so we didn't notice it quick enough.
I've actually installed 3 other retrofit windows in my house...none of which leak. Is this simply a matter of pulling the window out, cleaning off everything real good, and just installing it the right way?
Thanks for any advice!
Where is the window leaking?
Reinstalling the window is no big deal if you pull it out carefully. Cleaning off the caulking is probably more of a hassle.
The windows is leaking from the top part of the sill. I did recaulk it on the outside several months ago when I noticed it leaking due to a gap in the outer caulking. The stucco is a bit concaved at one spot which did make it tricky. The sealer on the inside of the fin must also not be doing anything good.
I did find out a while back that lowe's fired the company that installed my windows and now I know why.
What "W-on-W" says!
Use the right caulk!
"Quad" - "Solar Seal 900" (if you can find it)
Maybe, put a metal "pan" in under the bottom of the window.
Remember - "Drain Plane"!

Yup, definitely check out their client list and also what they're selling by checking out the Romance Deals at Deal Lunch (Karen Fox lists all the romance deals on her site: http://www.karenafox.com/market_news...omance%20Deals
Sometimes as genres become more popular or less popular, agents also become more picky. So an agent may love Western Historicals, but they aren't selling well now and she's interested in acquiring fiction she really thinks she can sell. So she might look at Westerns, hoping to find that break out writer who can bring the subgenre back. And she might still represent a couple Western Historical authors who are still selling in the old markets. But she might not take a lot of Western Historical from new authors.
It's just one of those things. You pick agents based on their history, their client list, their reputation... but in the end, getting an agent is very, very tough. So you can pick perfect agents and it still might not work out for so many reasons, none of which have to do with the agent not being good or even your story not being good. It can be frustrating, I know. Unfortunately, it's just a tough industry. It's rewarding, but tough.

Pike River families are again pushing for a re-entry to the mine, hoping that an examination of the scene of the disaster could lead to someone finally being held accountable for the 29 deaths.
They are also considering mounting civil action after the police last night ruled out laying any charges arising from the November 19, 2010 underground explosion.
Police fronted up to a meeting of about 50 family members, who sat in silence as Detective Superintendent Peter Read announced there was insufficient evidence to lay manslaughter charges.
His team interviewed 282 people, collected 25,000 pages of witness statements, and amassed 34 million pages of documentation. They had seriously considered laying criminal nuisance charges, and looked "very closely" at former mine manager Doug White and chief executive Peter Whittall.
He said there was enough evidence for criminal nuisance charges but that raised double jeopardy issues as Mr Whittall was already being prosecuted by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
Pike families' spokesman Bernie Monk said he had his two-weekly meeting with mine owners Solid Energy today, and they hoped everything for re-entering the mine drift would be settled by the end of August.
After last night's decision, a scene examination was the families' only hope of a prosecution, Mr Monk said.
"That's the gap in the door."
West Coast-Tasman MP Damien O'Connor backed the push for a re-entry, hopefully to find evidence.
He also said he felt the Department of Labour's role leading up to the disaster had been overlooked, noting that while staff were under-resourced, they had a "moral responsibility". Whistleblower legislation would have protected them, had they spoken out.
"The first priority is to get to the men. The second is to get evidence. It's about accountability, not retribution," Mr O'Connor said.
Colin Smith, a Greymouth lawyer acting for some families, said they were now considering their options, including the possibility of civil action.
He said there was a "sadness" at the lack of accountability.
"Especially when the disaster was avoidable, so totally avoidable."
Mr Smith said there should be a charge of corporate manslaughter: "Companies can't be held criminally liable (now)."
Although the Royal Commission of Inquiry favoured a roof collapse, release of gas and subsequent electrical spark as the cause of the explosion, other theories could not be ruled out, and the big problem was that no one had been able to get inside the mine to examine the scene.
Meanwhile, Mr Read said that if they ever got back inside the mine the scene could be examined, but there was no certainty that would produce new, relevant information.
There was "general acceptance and ample evidence" of widespread departures from accepted standards of mine operations. However, there was insufficient evidence to support the laying of manslaughter charges, due to the lack of any causative link.
Mr Read told the Greymouth Star that former mine chief executive Gordon Ward, who did not appear before the Royal Commission, did co-operate with the police inquiry and give an interview.
Whittall's charges under health and safety legislation are expected to reach court in Wellington early next year.

Ward Blawg
WardblawG supports the ECtHR move in its entirety and wishes Ms Allison Walls the best of luck. May Justitia swing her sword in her favour.
Good news! I have been charged only £5.00 for going 70p into the red. Perhaps fair because the bank was paying its own cash to cover the unauthorised overdraft.
Your tutor said research more with this unique WardblawG search engine:-
In the author's personal opinion, it is time for the courts and, perhaps, government to stop sitting on the fence with legal argument that lends itself to squeaky clean judges' desks. It is quite clear that the public has noted its concern. They realise, (or at least should realise by now!), that banks are businesses unlike any other. And, while the banks might enjoy the benefits of having large capital reserves, somewhat questionable following the recession, the Scottish and, indeed, the British public expect them to be treated as such in the legal systems of the UK. This effective immunity from suit should seriously be reconsidered and, the author hopes, soon.
How to Claim despite Walls being breached
Consumers may be best advised to take the recent shock wave of Allison Walls v Santander with a pinch of salt: there are certain steps, including those from moneysavingexpert.com, which are still worth considering:-
1. Send a style letter and send to the bank;
2. If unsuccessful and the bank continues to charge, send a different style letter to the Financial Ombudsman;
3. If still unsuccessful, consult a reputable solicitor and take the bank to court, but be prepared for considerable legal expenses and long, drawn out proceedings.
Banks would be best advised not to get complacent: a battle may have been won; but the war, most certainly, is not over.
Written by two US law school professors, it portrays, in no uncertain terms, a rather bleak picture of the landscape of the legal and other top professions…And that was in 2005!
The alpha of any species, by inherent definition, is able to adapt quickly and well to change. It's now time for lawyers, firms and the profession as a whole to adopt that alpha mentality; for many, it's time to sink or swim.
With firms and professionals across the UK welcoming web 2.0, which includes new online technologies such as blogs, RSS feeds and even Twitter, so comes the inception, and, I'd like to think, conception of Scotslawblog.com, formerly WardblawG.com.
Founded by me, Gavin Ward, a trainee solicitor at a Scottish firm in Edinburgh, qualifying in August 2010, former tutor and published author in the Juridical Review, this shall be a new platform for me and, indeed, my colleagues and peers across Scotland and beyond, to discuss, in an open environment without too much fence-sitting, the most important and relevant legal and commercial updates affecting Scottish businesses and law firms, together with other topics of interest to the legal profession.
I hope this creates as much contribution and success as the effort I ,and my colleagues, put into it!

Angered by the hit and run accident that left a Far Rockaway teen dead at the corner of Beach 20 street and Seagirt boulevard, locals gathered at the location over the weekend calling for safety measures to be taken immediately. The location, labeled as "accident prone" by the 101 Precinct, has been a hot spot for car accidents and injuries.
James Gordon, 16, was killed by a hit and run driver on Sunday morning, October 31. Police are still looking for the driver.
Leading a coalition calling themselves the Concerned Citizens of Far Rockaway, resident Floyd Smith brought together a group of locals for a demonstration. Residents demanded that there be an increase in police presence in the area to deter speeding and that the stoplight be changed to allow pedestrians more time to cross the street.
Councilman Noach Dear, chairman of the City Council Transportation Committee, sent a representative to the demonstration.
"I am very grateful to the Concerned Citizens of Far Rockaway for bringing the major safety problems of Beach 20 street and Seagirt boulevard to my attention," Dear said. "In the coming days, I will bring DOT officials out to this dangerous intersection so they can see first-hand safety issues that exist. Together, with the residents of this area, we will find immediate solutions that will protect and save lives."
More than 300 residents have signed a petition urging the Department of Transportation to resolve this issue.

TCU players furious about College Football Playoff snub
You can argue that no college football team had a worse day than TCU. The Horned Frogs were No. 3 in last week's College Football Playoff rankings and beat Iowa State by 52 points on Saturday, but fell in the most recent rankings to No. 6 and will miss out on the Playoff. As you can imagine, some TCU players cannot believe that their team won't get the chance to play for a national...

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
That's quite a long post title, isn't it? Oh well. Here's the skinny:
I'm making a comp zine about the misconceptions people have faced with regards to their disabilities.
Are you going to take a shotgun to the next person who tells you it's all in your head?
Do media representations of your disability make you grit your teeth?
Ever had someone ask does he take sugar, or variations of it?
Have you been told you can't do that (or you can do that) when you know perfectly well what you can and cannot do, thanks?
These are only some ideas. I hope to get a wide spectrum of experience in the zine, so contributors do not have to self-identify as disabled.
I will be printing this zine in braille and in LP as well as in regular text. This means that while submissions can be essays, stories, anecdotes, poetry, or any other text-based medium, I'm not able to take artwork or comics unless you are able to provide an accessible text alternative. Sorry!
Submissions can be as short as you like but shouldn't go over 1500 words. All contributors will get a free copy, obviously, so I'd especially appreciate contributions from Europe - mailing to the Americas is expensive, although Americans shouldn't let this put them off contributing.
If you've got any ideas, questions, submissions - or heck, if you just want to chat - either message me on here or email zisforzine at hotmail dot co dot uk. And if you don't want to contribute yourself, but know someone who might, please pass this along.
And a deadline, since people keep asking for one: 1st February 2011.
Views: 28
i would be glad to submit something. i have cfids, and bpd and have had struggles with both. my email is:email@example.com.
I don't know if I'll have time to submit anything, but I'd love to see it when it's done!
What do you count as a disability? I know people's personal definitions vary, so I was wondering if my chronic illness would count, because I would love to contribute. When is the deadline?

I thought the radio from DC.com was free.....I refuse to pay them $9.95 for month. I will watch it on next Mon. on the NFL Channel. You can bet I will be glued to this thread. Thanks to all of you for helping us who can't get it!
Kevin's Clutch Players
QB Tony Romo - He's going to show why he's going to earn that $2 million contract he got. Look for him to totally decimate the Arizona defense with pinpoint passing along with intuitive reads.
LB Demarcus Ware - There's a reason why he drafted him. He will run over anyone he can to get to the ball. Come hell or high water, nothing will stop him.
FS Keith Davis - He may be lacking in experience but he's got the boom of a champion. Look for him to cripple the offense as well as make the players around him better.
K Billy Cundiff - A weird feeling tells me that he'll be the one to make or break tonight's game. Here's hoping that I'm wrong.
Why does anyone ever go to DST? What's the point anymore?
Oh wait, this is a Cowboys board and our first preseason game is about to start. The new DVD recorder is set. The (pre)season begins in a few minutes.
This is great. Truly great. I love this moment. Bring it on!
6 min. until KICK-OFF........Everyone ready??????
still can't find any internet sites broadcasting the game, so I guess I'll count on you guys to give some news.
Are we ready for some football? I am getting too old to get this excited about a preseason game.......I got my NFL Sunday Ticket so let's get on with it!
I'm calling 911
I hope they switch to the dallas commentators at some point
Here we go!

Data Mining for Evaluation, Benchmarking and Reflective Practice in a LMS
Heathcote, Elizabeth A. & Dawson, Shane P. (2005) Data Mining for Evaluation, Benchmarking and Reflective Practice in a LMS. In E-Learn World Conference on E-Learning in Corporate, Government, Heathcare and Higher Education 2005, 24-28 October, Vancouver, Canada.
|PDF (173kB)
Large amounts of user and systems information is tracked by Learning Management Systems (LMS), affording the evaluation of online learning and teaching behaviour from a teaching unit level through to an enterprise level. At Queensland University of Technology, data from the in-house built LMS was mined over the period 2001- present for trends and usage information in order to provide a valuable perspective to evaluating systems usage, learning and teaching behaviours and benchmarking. This case study investigates the role of quantitative data in evaluating teaching and learning at various levels from unit of study to the enterprise through the establishment of benchmarks. Analysis of asynchronous discussion forum usage is discussed as an example.

BofA Upgrades Hibbett Sporting Goods to 'Buy'
Banc of America upgraded Hibbett Sporting Goods (HIBB ), The Sports Authority (TSA ), and Foot Locker (FL ) to buy from neutral.
Analyst Robert Ohmes says he believes the potential for a prolonged shift toward retro/fashion sneakers, and away from casual brown shoes, should support accelerating sneaker sales through the first half of 2004. He sees continued improvement in the promotional environment, which should continue to support higher sneaker gross margins through the first half of next year.
Ohmes says selling prices seem to have stabilized, with an opportunity for a rebound, as the $100-plus segment shows signs of strength. He adds that licensed apparel products are still seeing strong full-price sell-throughs. For Hibbett, Ohmes has a $36 target.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) has responded to a recent report from a government-run media outlet in China that called the iPhone a potential threat to national security. On July 11, China Central Television (CCTV) broadcast a report that criticized the "Frequent Locations" feature available in iOS 7. As noted by Bloomberg, the report cited a Chinese security expert who claimed that the feature could be used by Apple to track users' movements and possibly reveal state secrets.
However, in a statement published on the company's China website, Apple denied that it collects personal data on users' movements. "Apple gives customers control over collection and use of location data on all our devices. Customers have to make the choice to enable Location Services, it is not a default setting," stated the Cupertino-based company. "Customers may change their mind and opt-out of Location Services for individual apps or services at any time by using simple 'On/Off' switches. When a user turns 'Off' location data for an app or service, it stops collecting the data."
While Apple maintains a crowd-sourced database of cell tower and WLAN hotspot locations in order to speed up the process of determining an iPhone's location, the information that is collected for this service is never personally identifiable. Apple also pointed out that even when the "Frequent Locations" feature is activated; the information that is collected is encrypted and only stored locally on a customer's iOS device.
Apple and several other U.S. tech companies have increasingly come under fire from China's media as both the U.S. and China governments' trade accusations of cyberattacks. Tensions escalated in May, when the U.S. Department of Justice indicted five Chinese military officers for computer hacking. Meanwhile, China has cited information revealed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that showed that the U.S. hacked Chinese tech company Huawei and has used electronic communications surveillance programs against various Chinese leaders, reports The New York Times.

Evolve Or Else
The Singularity approaches! Soon we shall be cyborgs, all! Get a nice handheld vacuum and you can practice for the day your hands become techno-tools.
The day was promised. The day is here. Soon we'll be winking through our glasses to access biometrics on strangers at the bus stop and wiggling our fingers to trigger telephone calls in our tiny cochlear implants. We shall become creatures of flesh and steel that communicate at the speed of light, nay, beyond light! And yet, we'll still have to vacuum up dust and pet hair. Just goes to show, no matter how much things change, they still stay the same.
That's why it's good for someone like you to have a Dyson DC35 Handheld Vacuum now, before the transhuman era begins. It's small and easy to carry, and you can recharge it three times faster than other vacuums. It'll suck down dirt the way the past will be sucked down in the face of the juggernaut of technology we are going to become. And it's going to happen, people. THE SINGULARITY CANNOT BE DENIED.
Don't take a chance on being Johnny Walkman-Hands or Suzie Calculator-Toes. Get a Dyson DC35 Handheld Vacuum and your new cyborg body can do something useful. Because, even in the future, there's still going to be dust. Or should we call it... nanites?

What is in this article?:
- Operating In A New Era Of Campus Security
- A common language
- Getting the word out
- Communication systems
Security planning and disaster prevention tips.
The deadly attack at the Virginia Tech campus in April 2007 is yet another horrific chapter in the ongoing story of campus security. The possibility of extreme violence is the new reality for students, staff and the rest of the education community.
The task for school and university administrators is to adapt to that new reality and try to find ways to prevent such events from recurring. The plans will be imperfect. However, in striving to correct flaws in their emergency preparedness plans, school officials may be able to prevent a violent episode or intervene before it leads to tragedy.
"While we can never eliminate the threats posed to our campuses by crime or disaster, natural or person-caused," Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt's Task Force on Campus Security says, "we can and must mitigate impact through effective all-hazard emergency preparedness."
Reviewing plans
The desire for answers and to learn lessons from these tragedies drives education administrators and security professionals to sift through the evidence and find ways they can plug any holes in their security plans and emergency preparedness.
Missouri was one of many states that reacted to what happened at Virginia Tech by re-examining the readiness of crisis plans on its own campuses. In addition, federal agencies and other organizations have stepped forward with recommendations for improving campus safety.
When an attack occurs that is as horrific as the one that befell Virginia Tech, the immediate response of many government and education officials is that something must be done — crisis plans reviewed, recovery efforts bolstered, more security personnel deployed, more access control and surveillance equipment installed and more prevention programs initiated.
The responses to crises will vary from school to school and depend on the conditions and characteristics of each campus. As the Missouri task force notes, a research institution housing a nuclear reactor has security needs vastly different from a small liberal arts school in a rural area.
In North Carolina, the Campus Safety Task Force focused its report on the four phases of crisis management: prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. The report recommends that campuses establish threat assessment teams to help faculty, staff and students recognize signs of mental illness and improve their awareness about the resources available to help people who are a danger to themselves or others.
"Identifying potentially violent students as early as possible is one of the best preventive measures a campus can take," the North Carolina report says.
One of the issues that arose after Virginia Tech was whether schools and universities risked violating student privacy if they shared information with other agencies about a student viewed as a potential threat. In response, the U.S. Department of Education is revising the guidelines related to the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act to clarify to what extent schools are allowed to provide private student information to others.
Schools should strive to remove the stigma associated with mental illness so that troubled students can seek treatment.
"Colleges and universities must challenge the prevailing social norms of students that frown upon seeking help," the Missouri task force says.
In addition, campuses should make treatment more available. "Emotional crises often happen at inconvenient times, when students and other members of the campus community lack access to high-quality mental health services," the task force says.
