It was op- posed by the relatively unag- gressive Committee for Pure Water, which contented itself- Ward 9 Reports After 5 Ward 9 established a new rec- ord for tardiness with election re- turns. The ballots did not reach the City Hall for Official tabulation until shortly after 5 a.m. today, believed to be the latest for any local election. City Clerk Lionel Guilbert at- tributed the lateness ,to waiJ of- ficials failing to seek additional workers. The moderator is Alder- jnan-at-Large Francis LaFJamme. He said the ward had a crew of nine at 6 a.m., and four more were added at 6 p.m. He said tha workers were short-handed tyhen a woman took ill. Guilbert reported that eight additional workers helped in Ward 1, raising the overall total to 17 Regular workers at the polls are paid Those who assume work as extras at 6 p.m., receive TONIGHT IN THE TELEGRAPH with a few press releases and scattered advertising.

The vote on this was strongly in favor, passing by an almost 5-1 ratio. The raising of the mayor's salary was favored nearly 2-1. The salary increase matter was well received at a public, hear- ing in April. Then, it was point- ed out that most department heads earned more money than the 'drew expense accounts as well. Passage of the referendum will authorize B expense account for the mayor In addition to the wage increase. The third referendum to get voter approval will alter the composition of the city's Fi- nance Committee. Now, It is composed of the mayor and the six: 'aldermen-at large.

When the 1970-71 Board of Al- dermen is installed Jan. 1, nine new members will- be seated, tradition will be broken and an era will come to an end. The nine new aldermanic faces are the result of a major board reorganization ordained yesterday by Nashua voters. Dissension between Mayor Dennis J. Sullivan and the board during the past two years was considered as Influencing the outcome of some aider- manic races. Also a factor was the large number of tight con- tests conducive to upsets.

Hint Appears The first hint that the 50-year- old Sullivan would retain the city's top, political post at about 8 when partial reports of the Ward 1 tallying showed him holding his own against McLaughlin, though by a fragile margin.

If you are short on space, adding a second storey makes all the difference. However, if you'd like your addition to be as energy efficient as possible, insulated panels are exactly what you need. Read on for more.
Insulated panels are made from a polystyrene insulation core that is sandwiched between two pieces of engineered timber. They are incredibly strong in nature so you can use them for internal and external walls, floors, and even roofs. Using them for your home means that you do not require a traditional timber or steel frame or brickwork as they are engineered and structural. As well, insulated panels are designed to fit together extremely well so that they are practically airtight. You can easily finish the panels in any way you like using cladding, render or other finishing materials.
There are several reasons why you should use insulated panels for adding your second storey. One major reason is how quickly the panels go up. Because they are pre-made in the factory, once they are on site, all you have to do to fit them together. Essentially they are a flat pack product in nature. They are so easy and fast to install and erect, minimising the tradesmen needed. In fact, a second storey can reach lock up stage in as little as three weeks! They are also so precisely cut that your walls and roof will be straight right from the get go and there will be less waste. This speed of installation means that your new second storey will be ready faster and you will save money on labour, making your new addition much cheaper than it otherwise would be.
Also, insulated panels are, of course, incredibly insulating! Using them for your second storey means that you will use much less in the way of heating and cooling, reducing the demand on the environment and saving you money on your electricity bills. As well, insulating panels are practically airtight so hot and cool air cannot enter or escape the building, and they also limit cold bridging (cold bridging is where joins such as studwork interrupts conventional insulation, providing spots where heat or cool can transfer). Insulated panels will also stand the test of time as the insulation will never move, sag or deteriorate. Using insulated panels for your second storey addition means that you will meet all future energy efficiency requirements with the panels giving you minimum 6 star energy efficiency.
Other benefits of using insulated panels include they there are termite resistant, cyclone resistant, fire resistant, and corrosion and rust free.

Only when the answer isn't too important. You know, every body man will "manipulate" a panel. I am not tellin you to jump up and down on the corners of the panel but stretching the top and bottom is exactly what it needs. When I was first learning to use my English wheel it was amazing to see the instructor twist and manipulate the panel to get the shape he needed. When you take a compound curve and straighten it by hand one way it will tighten up the other direction. Nothing beats experience no matter what the craft is.
The way I blocked the one I did, is I started blocking from the crease to the edge of the hood holding the block to a 90 degree angle from the crease, not perpendicular with the crease. That way you eliminate any ripples looking from the side of the hood looking across to the short side of the hood. If your blocks are flat enough you will maintain that eveness right along the long side of the hood (front to back). Basically what I am trying to say is block it side to side in a criss cross pattern working it opposite of what you would think you should from front to rear. Give this a shot and see how it works for you, good luck!
I do think it would be easier to block if you had skimmed the whole panel even though the scoop is going to be there. You are going to have to deal with another area to feather in which just complicates the job. With that being a large flat panel, why don't you get a few sheets of 40 grit to go on that long board work the panel down until you can block all guide coat off it and get down to 120 grit to rid the 40 grit sand scratches. Then you can prime with a good polyester primer surfaced and block down with your finer grits from there. Take your time and be patient. You will get there. Will look forward to hearing how it goes.
I have better luck with an air file when blocksanding. It's easier for me to regulate the down pressure that I use. When I handsand I always get carried away.
One thing I should note for y'all and I'm kind of banking on this helping me: the car will be the 97 Dodge Viper blue, which is a metallic blue; not very forgiving. I will have white lemans stripes going over the hood, roof, and trunk per the usual protocol. With the whites being a less revealing color, and the contrast between the blues and whites together playing a trick on your eyes, does this help to conceal any imperfections in the striped area?
Good afternoon Lizer, The truth of the matter is, either it is straight or it isn't. True, black really accentuates a wave or missed ding but you can be sure, white won't hide them. While perfection is hard to achieve, I would encourage you to do the very best you can. You will be glad you did in the end.
As you cut the filler, remember once you touch bare metal stop sanding. At that point, you can no longer sand the high spot down. All you can do is make the low spot lower. If you still have low spots, coat it again and block it again until you can eliminate the low spots before you get back to bare metal. As I said earlier it is a matter of patience. You can do it.
I am probably not the best person to ask on reworking the valance Josh. I suspect that would be difficult with a hammer and dolly. I suspect you could do it with your bare hands. Maybe Brian Martinsr will jump in here. He is an experienced auto body tech. I do know that either the top and bottom that panel has to be stretched or the center has to be shrunk.........unless, you build up the quarter panel to close the gap.
John L.
People have thier opinions, but I opted for AFS sanding blocks and will never use anything else. 10 minutes and you'll have that hood straight and true.
I think it's more a function of what grit I'm using to sand moreso than the specific block itself. Durablocks are a good block.
oldie but a goodie some stuff you already know but the 3 are in there
clicky --> http://www.a2zautoforums.com/showthr...6&page=1&pp=20
Milo, did the "clicky". it was cool. i always have done the 45 degree cross sanding up and down to get the shape, most of the time i find a guide coat is not needed after that. but after useing a long board with 36-80 and 120 i do sometimes guidecoat and hit the panel with 220 wet or dry on the longboard just to make sure.
Milo, on your avatar on hotrodders all it has ever said is "in the garage" in the "clicky" from 2002 it says mountain view. Kool, i am in santa rosa and do fiberglass when not riding my HD. northern cal guys rock.
Blue skies and green lights ridin through the great shakies of Cali
First off ,getting a hood super straight takes experiance and struggling like this is how you get there...I remember my first (a black 442 olds) but I had the benefit of being at a shop with much more experienced bodymen that helped me out...still it took about 4 days, so you will get there if your patient.
One thing I did back was to hot glue paint paddles to the underside of the hood to stiffen it up,what a difference...second I ditched the DA and used the 8" DA (mud hog) with a circular motion...WOW ,that was so much better ,the bigger footprint worked like a snowshoe on the snow....
I was always rushing to 80 grit guide coat your bondo and it may take you 4=5 times before your ready for 80...when your ready to sand with 80 give it a quick breeze over just to knock down the 40 grit scratches,thats all the 80 grit sanding you'll ever need for bondo..Now your ready for poly putty (I like EZ sand)this stuff sands so nice you'll notice right off how much better it is than finishing off bondo,Do all your 80 sanding with a hand block(dont forget the guide coat I use the poly putty instead of any kind of filling primer,its faster and quicker and easier for me ,not to mention cheaper....when thats done the rest should be EZ hand block with 180 then 320, then prime....That was then,
Nowdays,there is only one trick ,I do everything by hand starting with 36-40 grit blocking BUT I never allow the bondo to fully dry before I start sanding.
It's like sanding butter and will shave hours off your sanding time ,DAYS for you new guys...The hard part is waiting for the sweet spot where its stiff enough to sand but not smear...you dont have to apply any pressure at all just let the weight of the block do it all ,you'll see right off the paper clogs fast so you'll need an air blower to blow out the soft bondo from the clogged paper ,just give it a quick blow and keep going (dont forget the guide coat) You'll also need to know how much hardener to add and that depends on the outside temp ,normally as a rule of thumb you plop the bondo on your board in a round circular shape then once its flattened itself out you bisect the circle with one ribbon of hardener ,it dosent matter how big your circle is.the hotter it is outside the less you use,everyone always uses to much hardener and once youve not added enough and had to remove it ,its understandable....One of the nice things about experience is what I remember taking me 4 days of hard work and dreading every one that comes in now only takes about 4 hours and its fairly EZ work and I dont mind it at all...

UW-Madison undergrads win NASA habitat design competition
The Badger X-Loft prototype, designed by an interdisciplinary team of students studying engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering, textile and apparel design, and finance and economics, has won the NASA eXploration Habitat Academic Innovation Challenge.

It's an inflatable home fit for an asteroid: Designing a prototype habitat that looks like a giant tent for the next generation of space explorers, an interdisciplinary team of UW–Madison undergraduate students has won the NASA eXploration Habitat Academic Innovation Challenge.
"This is a great example of how NASA can obtain innovative system concepts from universities. These technology concepts are a valuable part of our human space exploration planning activities."
Doug Craig, strategic analysis manager for analog systems at NASA
The competition charges university teams to design and rapidly develop inflatable, habitable spaces NASA can integrate onto an existing demonstration laboratory. In September 2010, NASA named the UW–Madison Badger X-Loft team a finalist in the competition, along with teams from Oklahoma State University and the University of Maryland. The National Space Grant Foundation awarded each finalist initial funding of $48,000.
The UW–Madison team deployed and displayed its prototype at the NASA Johnson Space Center, Houston, June 20 through 24. For its win, the team receives an additional $10,000 and several members will spend September in Arizona, where they will test their habitat as part of a simulated astronaut mission to an asteroid in the annual NASA Desert Research and Technology Studies (Desert-RATS) field test.
The Badger X-Loft prototype is approximately 13 feet tall and 16 feet in diameter. Perched atop the NASA habitat demonstration unit laboratory, the habitat can house four crew members for several days and includes a desk and chair for each person, several windows styled like a ship's portholes, and a second story "loft" with private sleeping quarters. Much of the habitat's structure is lightweight carbon-fiber and aluminum, while the sleeping loft has a taut fabric floor. The X-Loft also is fully climate-controlled and is insulated nearly as well as a traditional house.
To give the astronauts using the X-Loft maximum flexibility, the students divided the habitat into eight equal slices and created reconfigurable spaces. "Basically, everything's modular," says team member Jordan Wachs, an engineering mechanics and astronautics and physics major. "The whole design was intended that any eighth can be swapped entirely with any other eighth."
Led by Fred Elder, a UW–Madison adjunct professor of mechanical engineering and engineering physics, the team designed, built and tested its full-size prototype as part of a two-semester senior design course offered in engineering mechanics and astronautics.
Often, such design courses team up students in the same engineering field. However, the Badger X-Loft team included students studying engineering mechanics, mechanical engineering, textile and apparel design, and finance and economics.
Nicole Roth, who in May 2011 earned bachelor's degrees in finance and economics, served as the team's accountant. She joined the team because she saw an opportunity to gain real-world experience in her field. "I never expected to be in a student engineering project for NASA-ever," she says. "Once we had the habitat designed, I knew we had a shot at winning."
In addition to Roth and Wachs, other Badger X-Loft team members include Aaron Olson, Marc Fritz, Nathan Wong, Mike Lucas, Sam Marron, Max Salick, Ariel Arnson, Will Yu, Peter Sweeney, Julie Mason, Steve Wisser and Tim Feyereisen.
"This is a great example of how NASA can obtain innovative system concepts from universities," said Doug Craig, strategic analysis manager for analog systems at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "These technology concepts are a valuable part of our human space exploration planning activities."
Elder says the students worked countless hours, learned to take individual responsibility seriously, demonstrated leadership and initiative, remained positive and respectful of their teammates' ideas, and displayed exceptional technical and personal skills by completing the X-Loft on time and within the original specifications. "Winning the competition made all of the long nights and difficult decisions more than worthwhile for everyone involved," he says.
Several UW–Madison units, including the departments of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Physics, the School of Human Ecology, Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium, and the Space Science and Engineering Center, as well as local and regional companies, provided financial and in-kind support for the project. Elder says this strong support demonstrated to NASA that the UW–Madison was serious about the competition. "We could never have been successful without this strong, early commitment, as it was clear two significant criteria for selection were an ability to leverage the NASA-supplied funds with other funds, and a demonstration that this was indeed a senior design-level course with interdisciplinary participation," he says.
Corporate supporters include Bjorksten|Bit 7, UPS, ILC Dover, Marten Machining, Gallagher Tent and Awning, Air Distribution Concepts, and Advertising Creations.

Hugh Jackman is joining the cast of Chappie, from District 9 and Elysium helmer Neill Blomkamp. He's attached to play the rival of Dev Patel's character in the South Africa-set sci-fi pic about an android cop (mo-capped by Sharlto Copley) who's kidnapped by gangsters (Yo-Landi Visser and Ninja of the rap duo Die Antwoord). Sony and MRC are co-producing the pic.
Hugh Jackman Joins Neill Blomkamp's Sci-Fi 'Chappie'
2 Comments
Hugh may take home the Oscar for Prisoners. A wise move is to follow Prisoners with a villain role.
Elysium was so meh that I'm not looking forward to anything by Neill or that stars Sharlto anymore. Graphics were great but otherwise just another run of the mill sci-fi pic with overacting and the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Issue 9$25.00
Issue 9 is here! Kill Screen's 9th issue is the first of our all-new, Kickstarter-funded relaunch. Games are exploding into all sorts of weird new experiences, and the effects can be felt in everything from multimillion-dollar blockbusters to tiny, bedroom-designed games. We promised that this relaunch would present a curated, vibrant vision of videogame culture that could be picked up and enjoyed by anyone, inside or outside of games.
Humbly, we've gone above and beyond that aim. From in-depth reported features on Lily Zone, Cardboard Computer, and David OReilly to a detailed breakdown of every animal you kill in the Resident Evil games; from a massive critical read on Red Dead Redemption as our inaugural Kill Screen Review to a look at the National Guard's use of Call of Duty as a recruiting tool, we've probed videogame culture from a dizzying number of angles.
There's truly something for everyone in here, and we're incredibly proud of the work our writers and artists have put into this issue. We can't wait to try and top it.

On the 11/29 Virtualization Security Podcast Omar Khawaja the global managing principle at Verizon Terremark Security Solutions joined us to discuss Verizon's 12 step program for entering the cloud (found on slideshare). This 12 step program concentrates on the IT and Security admins working together with the business to identify all types of data that could be placed into the cloud, and to classify that data. Once this is complete, the next steps are to understand the compliance and security required to protect the data and to access the data. It is a Data Centric approach to moving to the cloud.
Articles Tagged with data access
Threats and Risks in the Cloud
There are threats to the cloud and there are risks within the cloud. A recent article from Tech Target Search Security blog spurred several thoughts. The main claim here is that there are not enough people who can differentiate threats and risks enough to talk to business leaders who may know very little about security, but do know the business. I have been known to state that there are prominent threats to my data once stored in the cloud and that we should plan to alleviate those threats to reduce our overall risk. But what is the risk?
An analogy comes to mind. Many years ago I ripped my Achilles tendon, and while talking with the doctors they all said that without surgery there was a 50% more likely chance that the Achilles tendon would rip again. So this got me thinking about what they really meant, 50% of what? My next question to the doctors was "how likely is it to fail if I do not have surgery?" Their response was enlightening, there is a 2% failure rate for naturally healed Achilles tendons. Because of that number, I realized that the failure rate for those tendons that undergo surgery is really only 1% vs 2% without. Well that put a different picture on everything. I went without surgery as that particular area of the body has very thin skin, not as much blood flow, and would take a long time to heal from surgery and there was always the risk of picking up something in the hospital, however remote at the time.
So the real question is what is the true risk to an environment if the threat becomes a reality?

Finally making it to our Christmas Holidays

Hide lines
We initially cycled along by the coast and then the road went more inland. The area was barren, with very little vegetation and no agriculture, as the soil was dry and dusty. The area was a desert with dry, red soil and dried out riverbeds. Once we were back on the coast again we would occasionally cycle passed a house or two or a hotel near the sea
We stopped in the middle of nowhere and feasted on a couple of mangoes that we had bought in the morning before leaving town. They were really tasty and juicy and along with lots of water they helped to quench our thirst from the dry heat. Unfortunately there wasn't any shade to be seen, so we just sat on the side of the road.
As we continued onwards we were surprised at how little traffic there was on the road, as it was a major highway and a good road. The majority of the traffic was cars or vans packed with families, with luggage strapped to the roof, who were obviously going somewhere for the Christmas period. About half way through the day we came across a small restaurant on the beach, which had numerous loaded up family cars in the carpark. We decided to check it out and see if they were making lunch. The woman said she could make us a fillet of fish, with rice, chips and salad, and she also had cold drinks available. It sounded perfect! We sat on her shaded balcony overlooking the beach and watched children play in the waves, as she prepared our lunch
We continued along the quiet road, which was generally flat and would have been great if it wasn't for one thing; the wind. After our lunch stop the wind built up and blasted us in our faces for the rest of the afternoon. We plodded onwards and made hard work of the flat ground as the wind harassed us. We were both exhausted when we finally arrived into Mancora, as we had completed a long hard push to get there in time for Christmas. After 750km, our bodies were still up for the challenge but we were losing motivation and feeling ready for a break. Surprisingly the most sore area on my body was the palms of my hands, which had received a lot of pressure on them over the past week and having them in sweaty bike gloves all day probably hadn't helped. Of course, as soon as we stopped cycling and took a day off they were fine again.
Our first impressions of Mancora were something along the lines of "Oh, is that it?", which may have been exacerbated by how hard we had worked to get there
We grabbed a beer at one of the restaurants and tried to make a plan of where to look for accommodation. As we sat on the restaurant's outdoor seating, two french guys came over and with limited English expressed that they thought it was great to see us and check out of bikes. They seemed to have got bikes here in Peru and were cycling up the coast a little way, as part of their bigger backpacking trip. Before they had asked which way we were heading they exclaimed "the wind is great, huh, you hardly have to pedal, it just pushes you along". I wish!!! We cycled around town for a little while but struggled to get our bearings with all the construction and with having no map provided in the guide book
By the time we had our tent set up we were both starving, so quickly headed back to the restaurants that were open earlier in the day. We both tried cerviche for the first time, which is fresh fish that has been marinated in lime juice, with onions, chillies and coriander, and is served alongside some corn-nuts (hard sweetcorn) and banana crisps for a crunchy accompaniment. Following this, we had what can only be described as a prawn and vegetable omelette, with chips and salad, that is called a tortilla de langostinos. This meal in total cost us $3 each, which seemed much more reasonable for a South American dinner.

MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino-British graphic designer will be part of Olympic history as his Olympic sporting design was chosen to be printed on millions of 50-pence coins.
Roderick Enriquez, 34, of Hammersmith, entered the Royal Mint's nationwide search for 29 designs to represent the 29 sports to be contested at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
More than 30,000 people submitted designs to the biggest-ever competition held by the currency manufacturer.
Enriquez's wrestling design – of two competitors in a wrestling hold and surrounded by a crowd – will now be immortalized on three million 50-pence coins.
"I simply cannot believe it and I am so delighted to have won. I know there were thousands upon thousands of entries submitted to this competition," Enriquez said. "I am also pleased because I am a Filipino-British national and that is what I believe London 2012 should be about as it is hosted by people with many cultural backgrounds."
The London 2012 Games will kick-off at the new Olympic Stadium on July 27, 2012 with athletes from all over the world competing for sports supremacy.
There have only been 16 different designs on the 50-pence coin since its introduction in 1969.
Other winners of the competition will see their designs for badminton, football, cycling and shooting on a total of 87 commemorative coins to mark the Games. All were approved by the Treasury and the Queen.
"Their coins will become treasured mementos of the biggest sporting event to happen on UK shores for over half a century and we hope will encourage a new generation of collectors," Dave Knight, the Royal Mint's Director of Commemorative Coin.

Police called in as Adelaide soccer club says sorry to Phoenix star Paul Ifill for fans' taunts.
Players and officials from Wellington Phoenix and Adelaide United have rallied around Paul Ifill after the Phoenix striker was racially abused by Adelaide spectators during a match on Sunday.
Police have been called in after Ifill said he had been the victim of a "blatantly racist" slur during his side's loss.
Ifill, an English-born Barbados international, said on Twitter he had been abused by fans after he was substituted in the game against Adelaide United.
Yesterday, the Phoenix said they had formally approached Football Federation Australia to ensure the matter was fully investigated.
A spectator at Hindmarsh Stadium was heard to call Ifill a derogatory racial term after he was substituted in the 61st minute of the 3-1 loss, the Australian Associated Press reported.
Wellington Phoenix general manager David Dome said the club was treating the allegations very seriously.
"Our guys reported it to the match commissioner, who took it up with Adelaide United, and Adelaide's taken it up with the police over there," he said.
Racism, by supporters and players, has been a blight on European football in recent months but the A-League has remained unaffected, which Mr Dome said only added to the club's consternation.
"It's very unusual and that's why everyone's particularly disappointed with it," the Phoenix executive said.
In a statement, Adelaide United said the club was assisting the FFA in its investigation and had conveyed their concerns to Ifill.
The Phoenix said they had accepted an "unequivocal apology" from Adelaide.
Ifill, the Phoenix's all-time leading scorer, could not be reached for comment yesterday but he was less cagey on Twitter, saying he had received racist abuse from a "very small minority" of fans.
Responding to a question from former Phoenix and current Sydney FC chief executive Tony Pignata, Ifill tweeted: "not happy been a long time since IV had to deal with anything like that". He later wrote it was "a few things that were blatantly racist that I'd rather not repeat".
Phoenix teammate Alex Smith said: "Unbelievable the things I heard from the bench ... I'll leave it for now but I will say it was very racist and disgraceful."
Recent abuse cases
* April, 2012 A 55-year-old London man banned from Stamford Bridge for life after racially abusing Didier Drogba.
* October, 2012 A 13-year-old boy banned by Milwall for the "foreseeable future" after racially abusing Bolton forward Marvin Sordell.
* Ocobert, 2012 Serbian FA fined $125,000, after under-21 match against England was marred by monkey chants from the crowd.

Although display of Nazi symbols or support of Nazism is illegal in the Czech Republic, there is evidence that a significant number of people support such ideas. There was open celebration of Hitler's birthday last month, and hundreds went to pay homage at the grave of Radola Gajda, a Czech fascist leader. Last fall Petra Edelmannova, leader of the right wing National Party, called for a "final solution of the Roma problem" using Nazi terminology regarding killing Jews.
The UN issued a report in March urging the Czech Republic to be more vigilant in protecting the rights of minorities such as the Romas and Muslims. Peter Uhl, a former dissident, recently resigned from the government's human-rights council in protest over Deputy Prime Minister Jifi Cunek's anti-Roma comments. Uhl noted that, "very often it is as if the police don't see (the rallies)…it is being overlooked that, for example, people are 'heiling,' etc."
Zdenek Zbofil, a professor at Charles University, recently complained that the number of secondary and university students participating in extremist activity is growing. It is particularly disturbing that right wing groups increasingly are attracting better educated people into their ranks. A poll taken in April showed that the far right-wing Slovak National Party was the second most popular political group in Slovakia. In Moscow this year, foreign students were warned not to leave their dormitories on Hitler's birthday for fear they would be assaulted by right wing fascist groups.
Information from Prague Post
Right wing fascist extremism has not caught on in the United States to the extent it has in Europe. Anti-Muslim feeling is more frequently the source of bigotry and prejudice in America while anti-Muslim feeling in Europe combines with anti-Roma attitudes and lingering traces of anti-semitism. It is ironic that such fascist feelings are mow present in the Czech Republic given that Czechoslovakia was among the original targets of Nazi aggression and its people suffered under German occupation. I guess youth forgets or is it that we have failed to educate youth about the horrors of World War II. The Holocaust undoubtedly is the main reference point to brutality and hate from World War II. Perhaps, a problems is failure to discuss how Nazi Germany was also killing Romas and gays and millions of ordinary Russian people.

To make a film about children you need affection but you can't afford sentimentality. Mark Cousins's A Story of Children and Film is an essay on some of the dozens of films on the subject of childhood that resolutely eschews facile options.
Along with familiar masterpieces such as The Night of the Hunter and The Spirit of the Beehive, it shows a raft of work we haven't seen, including films from unlikely places like Albania that Cousins has visited.
There are clips from 53 films in all, from 23 countries, and Cousins's typically personal commentary is supported by music from Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur l'enfant Jesus. This is not a film that Disney might have made.
The splitting of the material into themes such as "Shyness", "Adventure", "Loneliness" and "Isolation" certainly works better than any attempt to illustrate how children are treated on film country by country. And though this may be a cineaste's film, it's less about directors than the children themselves.
A Story of Children and Film is a very personal document, then, and it would be possible to criticise it for leaving certain movies out, or for its occasionally oddball arguments. But its basic merit comes through consistently, and the children themselves are wonderfully real.
It provides, first and foremost, an intriguing and often moving study of on-screen responses to a subject so often miserably handled by those who patronise childhood. Such easy ways out are not on this menu. All credit to Cousins for recognising that childhood is not always fun and that children frequently outdo adults' faults as well as replicating their virtues.

Lobos Season Ends with 2-0 Loss to No. 6 San Diego State
Nov. 4, 2012
San Diego, Calif. --- No. 6 San Diego State got a goal in each half, and UNM couldn't break through the Aztecs' stout defense, and SDSU won the Mountain West Tournament title with a 2-0 victory over New Mexico, as UNM's season will end without a trip to the College Cup for the first time since 2009.
The Lobos ended their season 11-7-2, while San Diego State improved to 19-1-1. The Aztecs earned the Mountain West's automatic berth into the NCAA College Cup.
The Aztecs got on the board first at the 22:11 mark off a corner kick. Carli Johnson was able to get a head on a corner as Kelli Cornell came out to try and knock it away. The ball bounded up, and UNM's Brooke Ellison was able to head it away from the net, but Kelsey Booth outjumped another UNM defender and headed it into the open net.
From there, the Aztecs nursed the one goal lead as UNM attempted a comeback, forcing the action in the second half. UNM's best chance occurred when Lauren Irwin raced in and sent a rocket from 30 yards out towards the net. However, the dipping ball dipped too early, and keeper Rachel Boaz, who recorded her fourth straight shutout, easily made the save.
Her counterpart Kelli Cornell had several big stops to keep UNM in the contest, including a tough sliding save late in the opening half, and then a diving stop to her right in the second. However, after saving a point blank from Megan Jurado, Sarah Halverson cleaned up the rebound with 17:05 left to give SDSU an insurmountable 2-0 lead.
The loss ended the careers of seven UNM seniors in Cornell, Rachel Montoya, Sinead Fleming, Natalie Jenks, Stephanie Rowe, Lauren Irwin, and Jordan Craig. Those seniors led UNM to four straight seasons of at least 11 wins, and they will go down as perhaps the strongest and best senior class in school history.
Certainly, Cornell established records for goalkeepers that might never be broken at UNM. She ends her career number one in games played (82), games started (82), consecutive games started (82), minutes (7,702), wins (48), shutouts (41), and goals against average (0.69).
NOTES --- Cornell's start broke a tie with Eryn Paetz for most career starts. It was her 82nd ... Rachel Montoya ended her career with 77 games played, good for a tie for ninth on the career list ... Montoya also finished ninth in career assists with 11 ... UNM's 51 corners allowed was the second fewest in school history, behind the 49 allowed last year ... UNM's goals against average was 0.87, the seventh time in eight seasons that UNM recorded a GAA under 1.00. Those are the only times in school history that UNM has recorded goals against averages under 1.00 ... the 163 fouls by UNM was the fewest since 1999, and the 132 fouls against was the fewest in school history.

Keeping Business and Personal Expenses Separate in 3 Easy Steps
When combining business and leisure travel, it can be difficult to separate expenses when you get home or to the office. An easy way to stay organized and avoid clutter is simply keeping a record. There are two aspects of making this task easy and less time consuming.
Step 1: Keep all of your expenses separated and store them in a PDA document or a small notebook.
Step 2: The second part is keeping all of casino your receipts organized and separated. You can do this by keeping an envelope in your wallet for business expenses and keeping your personal expense receipts in the actual wallet. Simply separating these receipts with some kind of marker in the middle of your wallet can easily cause a mix up if you are not careful. Keeping the two completely separate by using an envelope will make your life ten times easier.
Step 3: After each purchase file your receipt in the appropriate place and make a note of the total amount of the expense and type of expense in your PDA document or notebook. At the end of each day, double check your work. When you arrive home or back to the office, your receipts will already be separated and your notes will allow you to review everything.

Basically from what I gathered there was an earlier BMW euro engine design that had the general "Exhaust Tab" clearance set lower than the current S54 that uses the exact same setup minus the difference in clearance.
The S54 tab clearance is higher which appears to cause more rattle and risks failure of these tabs. Raj is developing a sleeve kit to solve this and should be released soon.
In addition the bolts on the Intake side I believe are a common issue with rattling loose.
The solenoid failure is also another issue.
I believe he said the seals aren't the biggest issue but may as well replace them while we're in there.
From what I can summarize, a rattle kit, seal kit, solenoid kit, and some thread-locker on the the bolts for exhaust/intake sides is probably the best solution. I've linked this thread in an email to Raj so he can hopefully comment on it and reduce the amount of phone calls he gets as he's just in the process of finishing this up atm for product release.
And from what I can gather at a significantly lower cost than the Dr.Vanos kit which from what others have said is extremely overpriced for a basically stock OEM unit that has just been cleaned and could possibly yield the "Ticking timebomb" effect later.
There has been many cases of late model M's that had their exhaust tabs sheared off.

Ffos Las racecourse near Llanelli in south Wales received glowing praise from both trainers and jockeys as it staged its first Flat meeting. Heavy rain had fallen at the new venue in the run-up to today's card but the going was still no worse than good as the stalls opened for the six-furlong maiden that launched the meeting.
Our Dream Queen, the warm favourite, emerged as the first Flat winner at Ffos Las, and Michael Hills, her jockey, expressed admiration for the way the track had handled the rain. "Cantering down, I couldn't believe how the ground has held together," Hills said. "It rode good but loose on top. It's a lovely, fair track and I think it's beautifully made."
Louis-Philippe Beuzelin took the first race on the round course, as Hollow Green took the day's most valuable contest, a 10-furlong fillies' handicap. "It is a pleasure to be here," Beuzelin said. "The ground is lovely and it's a lovely sweeping bend. You can get a nice position and take your time up the long straight."
Several well-known trainers were also in attendance to assess the first new turf course in British racing for more than 80 years. "I've walked down the track and it has quite a firm base on it and has obviously taken the rain," Hugh Morrison, who saddled Cape Melody, the runner-up in the card's sprint handicap, said.
"The course is made to drain and, as a result, my fears of soft ground and nearly not coming were totally unfounded. We'll definitely be coming back but I'll have to try and find a better way in from the M4."
The trainer and jockey with most to celebrate were David Nicholls and Ahmed Ajtebi, who completed a 48-1 double with Sams Lass (14-1) and Cape Vale (9-4). Both winners made most of the running, which may emerge as a useful trend at the new course.
"It looks a lovely, fair track and I wish I was riding," Willie Carson, the former champion jockey, said. "It would be great to find out where you should make the moves and how long you should wait.
"It looks a sharpish track, which will suit front runners. I think the sprinters will be able to ping off and go. Today we have had a lot of rain and the horses finished very quickly so it's obviously well drained."
Party Politics, who won the Grand National during the General Election campaign in 1992, has been put down at the age of 25. Nick Gaselee's huge chaser had an excellent record at Aintree and also finished runner-up to Royal Athlete in the 1995 National.
"He was a fantastic jumper of the National fences and gave me one of the best days of my life," Carl Llewellyn, who rode him to victory, said.

1888: The Concertgebouw concert hall opens in Amsterdam.
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
The Concertgebouw, designed by Adolf Leonard van Gendt, is renowned above all else for its superb acoustics. Its architecture was inspired by the Neue Gewandhaus in Leipzig, Germany, another first-rate hall that was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II.
Today, only two other concert halls — the Musikverein in Vienna and Symphony Hall in Boston — are considered comparable acoustically to the Concertgebouw.
The acoustics of the main hall, which seats approximately 2,000 people, are ideally suited for the late Romantic repertoire that is one of the pillars of European classical music. It is less suited for amplified music, although a number of famous rock bands have played there over the years.
The hall, home to Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, hosts roughly 800 performances of all types every year, making it the busiest concert hall in the world.

Best of luck with the move. We have just been through it and it is not easy. Make sure you take time to breathe…

Awww, you're moving too? Sounds like we're in the same boat, especially the part about being the main one taking on the bulk of the packing/cleaning while the hubs is out working. I admire that you're keeping your priorities straight, that's so much more inspiring than "perfect" pictures. Good luck mama!

IronPigs' Lincoln bests former mates
Phillies farmhand yields one hit over six innings, strikes out seven
By Robert Emrich / MiLB.com | June 7, 2014 11:04 PM ET
Brad Lincoln gained a measure of revenge on Saturday night. And in the process, he may have doomed himself to continue on as a starter.
The Phillies farmhand yielded one hit and fanned seven over six scoreless innings as Triple-A Lehigh Valley shut down visiting Indianapolis, 3-1.
After giving up a two-out double to Chris McGuiness in the second inning, Lincoln (3-3) issued a leadoff walk to Robert Andino in the third, then retired 11 straight batters. The spell ended on a throwing error by second baseman Tyler Henson.
"I was just trying to fill up the zone and let my defense do the work for me," Lincoln said. "I was working out of some three-ball counts and trying to get deep into the game."
Drafted fourth overall by the Pirates in 2005, Lincoln's third win of the year came against the team with which he spent parts of four seasons from 2009-12.
"It was fun," he said of pitching against former teammates. "I know a lot of the guys on that team, I was joking around with the catcher when I went up there to hit. It makes it fun, a game within a game. It feels good to do that against any team, but against your former team it's a little chip on your shoulder. You want to do good."
The 29-year-old right-hander started the year in the IronPigs bullpen after working exclusively as a reliever in 2013. He was coming off what had been his finest start of the year, giving up three hits over seven shutout innings against Durham on June 2. Ironically, Lincoln said he prefers working out of the bullpen.
"To be quite honest, I'd still prefer to be a reliever, but I'm here to do what they ask of me," he added. "Right now, that's to be a starting pitcher. Just mentality-wise, I think it better suits me. I'm able to go out there and be that bulldog and come into that big situation and get some outs. But pitching is pitching, and wherever they have me, that's what I'm going to be happy with."
Hector Neris followed Lincoln and struck out two in a perfect seventh, but B.J. Rosenberg lost the shutout bid in the eighth. Luis Garcia allowed a hit and a walk in the ninth but struck out Nevin Ashley to register his seventh save.
Cam Perkins, the Phillies' No. 14 prospect, was 2-for-4 with a pair of RBIs for Lehigh Valley.
A.J. Morris (0-1) took the loss in his Triple-A debut after allowing three runs on six hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out five.
