Fixed date projects: more advice from the experts
Inside PRINCE2: Fixed date projects
Planning is an essential part of what project managers do, so you would expect there to be some mention of how to deal with fixed date projects in the PRINCE2 manuals. There isn't. Fixed date projects only get a passing mention in the Managing Successful Projects book, and you'd have to look really hard toClick for more
Expert advice on fixed date projects
As part of this month's focus on managing projects with fixed dates, I asked J. LeRoy Ward, PMP, PgMP, Executive Vice President Product Strategy & Management at ESI International for some advice.

Fixed date projects are like weddings

Wood eye?
What I am looking for is information on wood being used on a vehicle. I am build ing a C-Cab and will have some wood. The frame is already made from 1 in box tubing and wrapped in 18 guage steel for panels. The floor top C-Cab bows and some trim will be wood. I am looking for ideas, sites to reference, others experience. You always see red oak, but what else can be used to keep the cost down. Marine plywood, poplar, cyprus, redwood. I am new to the wood thing and welcome all ideas!
I dont know about where you are at but round here pine is about the cheapest wood you can find. Besides being so cheap the nice thing about pine is it is a light color so you can stain it any shade you want.
I'm not really clear on where the wood will be in your car. Sounds like you have already replaced most of the structural wood with steel. If the wood is exposed to the elements, you must use decay resistant species.
For flat floorboards, marine grade plywood is fine. I cover mine with wood grain Formica on the bottom so it will never be exposed to rot. There is an unlimited variety of Formica out there so you can cover it with any look you want.
For structural wood, white oak is the standard. Red oak is very porous and actually wicks up water so rots easier than white oak. The latter has resin filled pores so is very rot resistant.
There are other decay resistant species like cypress and redwood but they don't have the necessary strength, or teak or other tropical wood that is strong and decay resistant but costs the national debt.
I know the oak is high dollar but for being out in the weather, sun, dampness whatever you need to use a hard wood. Marine plywood I think has to much grain and you'll see the ply's on the edges that show and it will look just that way like plywood. And most of the time is just treated yellow pine. Any of the pines will be to soft of a wood. Any little ding will show big time. Myself I would use White oak or Hard maple, both are a light color and finish out nice. It also depends on the finish color of the car as to what will match and how much you want it too stand out. If you want it stand out and be noticed there is Birds eye maple that has some great looking grain patterns, but then again it is a pricey wood. Poplar is also to soft a wood to use for what you want. If you go to www.woodmagazine.com then click on Wood Magazine and look for Wood profiles that is a chart with all the wood colors and grain patterns to help you decide.
Good luck, If you need some more info or help let me know, I've done woodworking for many years and will try to help as best I can.
Most automotive wood structurally and cosmetically (Woodie Wagons and Convertibles) is oak or ash. That should tell you what to use for your exterior and trim wood.
As far as the floor business goes, my T-bucket has a marine plywood floor that was installed in the old Cal Auto body in 1969. Then painted top and bottom with good old black oil-base enamel. Still solid and parked outside all the time.
Madd, the best product for finishing exterior wood is Deks Oleje (say Decks Olay). I had to refinish my PU bed every other year using high end exterior finishes, but used this product on the recommendation of my son, the wood boat guy. I put it on in 1989 and did not touch it again (replaced it recently and needless to say, it' on the new wood). The label says "for teak and other boating woods". Also, it comes in different gloss levels. The best source is jamestowndistributors.com. They are also great for any and all types of stainless fittings and fasteners.
C Cabs are way cool, Madd. We will of course need to see pics of this baby when you get done. MAybe even the progress along the way too.
For some reason, Teak comes to mind... I am pretty sure it has been used on custom woodies.. and it was used in custom boat building extensively.
You could also go with a veneer route.. either sheet-metal with a wood veneer of your choice epoxied to it, (my brother made a bunch of the American Eagle signs in malls like that), or put a veneer over marine plywood.
Good Luck
got a links list off a woodie site..
Even has a place listed making kits for T's =)
Happy Holidays,

Single misfire cylinder 5

So much for the "concentrate on the single cylinder" theory. It just goes to show, you can not make any assumptions with cars, and with e46's in particular. When I replaced my fuel filter last month, I had no idea that it would fix the idle issues I have had since I bought the car, but it did! I know people who have replaced every part imaginable to fix their idle issues, with no luck. And I go and fix mine without even trying.
As for your car, I would guess that the computer has a certain threshold for the number of misfires it will ignore, and that threshold is 5. It then reports a misfire in cylinder 5.
You are not the first person that has mentioned a cylinder 5 misfire problem. As I said in one of my earlier posts, I was trying to help a guy several months ago with the same error. I went back and looked, and he had not tried changing his DISA. He has dropped off from the forum, but I sent him a PM, and told him about your solution.
I'm glad you got it resolved, without spending too much money.

Pros / The Klipsch Synergy C-10 has a very impressive sensitivity level.
Cons / The frequency response of this center speaker isn't very impressive.
Verdict / The Klipsch Synergy C-10 is a useful audio tool for your home theater.
Klipsch has been making quality audio equipment since 1946. The Klipsch Synergy C-10 center speaker is one of the ten best center speakers we reviewed. The center channel speaker is the most important element of a home theater system because it is responsible for the main dialogue of movies and the lyrics of music. Even though the frequency response isn't as impressive as some other audio products, the C-10 still offers quality sound in a lightweight and compact design.
This 2-way model features one tweeter and two woofers. The dynamic 0.75-inch tweeter is made with an aluminum diaphragm. This driver is set in a Tractrix Horn structure, which projects the sound forward in concentrated waves. This adds additional clarity to the high frequency sounds. The magnetically shielded 4-inch woofers handle the low frequencies.
The Klipsch Synergy C-10 center speaker has a frequency response of 100Hz to 23kHz. This is a narrower range than many of the other center channel speakers in our review. It is unable to hit the low tones, but most everything below 80Hz is produced by the subwoofer anyway. This model is also unable to create the supersonic tones that are sometimes put into audio mixes to enrich the sound.
The recommended amplifier power for this Klipsch center speaker is 50 to 200 watts. Anything below 50 watts may not produce quality audio sound. However, the C-10 can handle up to 200 watts without any damage. This is one of the highest peak wattages we found in our review. This product is more resistant to permanent damage from accidentally turning up the volume too high.
One of the most impressive aspects of the C-10 is the sensitivity. Sensitivity is the measurement of how much power is required to produce a given volume. A higher number means less power is required to get good sound. This center speaker has a sensitivity of 93.5dB. This is the highest sensitivity in our review. This means you can pump up the volume and you won't be drawing a lot of power and you won't hear static in the background.
This unit measures 6 inches high, 16 inches wide and 5.25 inches deep. It also only weighs eight pounds. The lightweight design of this center speaker makes it easy to mount on the wall or rest on top of your television or entertainment center. The black ash vinyl sealed enclosure also features a single pair of binding posts on the back.

- The lowest frequency the speaker can produceLower is better
If your home theater is suffering from unintelligible dialogue or the soundtrack drowning out the music, purchasing a new center speaker, like the Klipsch Synergy C-10, can help. This model is able to play at high volumes without distortion or static. Some of the lower tones may be lost in the transition between this center channel speaker and the subwoofer, but the higher frequencies are perfectly projected through the Tractrix horn design. This high-quality audio device can offer clear and detailed sound. There are better options available, but most users will be quite happy with this center speaker.

I have it: 122 I had it: 45 I want it: 91 My signature: 1
Aqva Pour Homme Toniq is an invigorating fragrance that creates long-lasting feeling of freshness, dynamic and clear as sparkling water. The fragrance opens with zesty essential oils of lemon and peppermint. Sharp and powerful influence of crystal ice and Posidonia sea weed, which grows in the seas of the Mediterranean and southern Australia, is gradually transformed into a soothing base of woody-mineral character, made of vetiver and amber notes.
Jacques Cavallier, who created the original editions, also signs these new edition.
It is available as 50 ml EDT. Aqva Pour Homme Toniq was launched in 2011.
Perfume rating: 3.74 out of 5 with 166 votes.

Very nice juice; I quite like it! The aquatic note has an ocean vibe to it with a seaweed tinge that is well done. I live a step away from the Atlantic ocean in Florida USA and I can truly appreciate the artistry in this concoction.
It has the same skeleton as Aqva Amara, which has a more prominent citrus, mandarin note. The dry-down is very smooth, sits close to the skin and is kind of sweet, which is probably the amber. It does NOT smell like fish to me at all like others have said. Rather it smells like a sunny Sunday afternoon by the beach with a piña colada in one hand and a mint julep in the other!
I can definitely see myself wearing it on a Sundays, Mondays and Aqva Amara on a Thursday! LOL!
If you don't like the smell of fish don't go for this one.
I have Aqua Amara and I like it so much I decided to buy a 2nd Bvlgari, I bought Aqva Toniq from an online store without ever testing it, ignoring the people who said it has a bit of fish smell, mostly because I never encountered a perfume that has this note. Longevity is medium, lower than Aqva Amara, invictus and Hugo Boss Botteled. Ofcourse it's not a bad perfume, just not my style.
I used to have the original "Aqva Pour Homme" and really liked it. this one is another good fresh salty aquatic fragrance with semi sweet woody base.
The opening is a sharp salty, deep green and aquatic smell along with some juicy fruits in the background.
Very pleasing and refreshing smell that works great in high heat.
As time passes that salty aquatic smell settles down but I can still smell it easily while scent gets slightly sweet in ambery way and also vitiver note joins in the base of the fragrance that give the scent a sharp woody and kind of smoky and peppery aura which is really great and I really like this part.
Projection is above average and longevity is around 7-8 hours on my skin. a good flanker for something great!
من نسخه اولیه این عطر رو چند سال پیش داشتم و حالا این نسخه دیگه یه کار خوب و خوشبو آکواتیک و شاداب و کمی میوه ای هست که در ادامه کمی شیرین و چوبی میشه
رایحه ابتدایی عطر با بوی شور اب دریا مانند و یه حس سبز و البته سنگین خزه ای جلبکی شروع میشه که در کنارش میشه یه بوی نیمه شیرین میوه ای رو هم حس کرد. بوی ساده و آشنایی داره اما لعنتی تو گرمای آفتاب خیلی خوب جواب میده و یه حس خیلی شاداب و آنرژی بخشی رو به آدم منتقل میکنه
در ادامه اون بوی شور آب دریا مانند کمی ملایم میشه ولی همچنان به راحتی قابل حس کردنه. بوی عطر تو این مرحله یه شیرینی ملایم از جنس کهربا پیدا میکنه و کم کم با گذر بیشتر زمان و تو رایحه پایه رایحه وتیور بهش اضافه میشه که یه بوی کاملا مشخص چوبی، تلخ و کمی دودی و تقریبا یه جورایی فلفلی به عطر میده و شخصا این قسمتش رو خیلی دوست دارم
پخش بوی متوسط و شاید کمی بهتر از متوسط داره و ماندگاریش بین 7-8 ساعت روی پوست هست که رقم خیلی خوبیه
یه ورژن خوب از یه عطری که خودش به تنهایی خیلی خوب و کامل بود
Actually some people are very much curious about some new perfume brands but when i got to know about bvlgari perfumes these perfumes when i tried are more reliable and longer lasting. I just went on ringabell to get to know about this because this site is very economical in perfume brands.
Ok so ive just worn this once but so far im loving this 1 !!! This is my new favorite from the Bvlgari line. To me they took what people loved from Bvlgari Aqva and toned that up a notch(the aromaticness, and freshness) and then tamed down what people were complaining about(The seaweed note, and some of the spiciness)...
Updated review after a few wearings ...
I still love this scent in the opening and heart as the peppermint and seaweed note give off a very pleasing, fresh smell that to when I 1st smelled this I thought this was going to be my new go to for hot summer scents. And honestly if it stayed linear on my skin it would be my new go to. Unfortunatly the drydown to me smells like cleaner and after 3 hours this goes from being a really bright,crisp,aquatic to a musty cleaner type of smell. It sucks that drydown ruined for me cuz initialy I thought I was going to fall in love with this stuff. :( . But hey if im looking for a quick scent just to go run quick errands ill still be using this
The performance on this is above average in both projection and longevity but its not amazing or anything. It projects about 3 feet off of you for 3 hours before becoming a skin scent and lasts a total of anywhere between 6-8 hours.
Overall id rate this a 6.75 out of 10 ! A real solid opening and heart that has good projection but the drydown keeps this from getting more praise
Eh, i own both Toniq's and i have to say, Marine Toniq is easily my fav of the 2.
This aint BAD, it just dont do much for me.
Smell 6/10
Longevity 6/10
Projection 6/10
Versatility 7/10
Unique 9/10
36/50 aka 3.6/5
Very nice summer scent !
This is one of the latest purchases I made for my bf from strawberrynet. It is incredible. We both love it, it is romantic, dynamic and fresh! Perfect for casual wear and daytime!
I love this. It's more energetic than original perfum. It last for over 3 hours, after that, it attached to my skin for about 7-8 hours, I often put my hand to my nose to smell it over and over again.
So glad I bought this!
in a Bed with your Love..
This is a wonderful fragrance. I loved the original Aqua pour Homme and both evoke the freshness and salty notes of the sea, with a lovely citrus zing.
Truly original for an aquatic too, never tried the marine one but I think this toniq version is an interesting twist on the ocean theme.
It's like a more intense and citric Aqva Pour Homme. But they are really similar.
Lemon + Sea Water!!! That's it!! I Love this one!!!
For me its nice but since its toniq it should have lasted longer than i expected.
Same great as an original Aqua pour homme. Uplifting all day long- Very fresh and long lasting. Definitely noticed some seaweeds and watery notes. I like a lot the dry-down stage. I imagine fresh green pears on a seashore!... :)
This is a.o.k in terms of longevity.The name toniq though suggests otherwise.The longevity should have been atleast 6 hours if it is a toniq.The opening fades within 1 minute.
The older aqva marine was way better than this one.It stays all day.
The smell is not bad ,it is quite good and knocks aqcua di gio out of the park.
I didnot find aqva and aqva marine like fish market though.Those are misleading commments.
Less salty than Aqva with a bit of citrus. Less sillage either. I´m not a big fan of Aqva and Aqva Marine, but these two remains more interesting (for the good and for the bad). This toniq version is not enough to make me choose it insted of the originals. It modifies some strength of the original elements of Aqva, plus adds that mild citric tone, making an average new family member.
The first time I tried it, it was a summer night and over here it could be 70s-80s Farenheit degrees. The opening was nice, well really nice while having some pilsners.... well if you can match a perfume with a beverage, that was it Bvlgari Aqva Toniq and a nice pilsner in, in a summer night. It was perfect. Then after like around 2 hours, in me, the amber started to kick in. For me it was so obvious, for a summer night it was very nice. But I was thinking if, here in this place for me during day time, if 100s degrees can be reached then how the amber would be working on me. But well if you are not dealing with those such high temp during summer, this is a really nice perfume for summer day time. For me, I enjoyed the amber during the summer night at that temp.
Yes... I agree, somewhat: similar to Aqva but with livlier tops- and a different heart as well- it doesn't have the intense frankincense/coriander seed thing going on that Aqva does- it's much softer and more-transparent/ethereal. And the seaweed note is a wee bit stronger- in some ways it is more like Aqva Marine- and it does capture the serene melancholy of walking along the sea-shore... I don't know. I think all four have their charms, but I love these bottles! :-) After four hours, it falls to a skin-scent on me, but this lasts well beyond 12h.
I have had none of the longevity problems mentioned by others with this version of Bvlgari's Aqva.
It's actually a very nice and citrus fresh interpretation of the original. Yes, the base notes are almost identical, but I agree with nearly every other reviewer that the top notes are where the major difference is to be found. I can clearly detect a frosty lemon and mint note that lasts about 20 - 30 minutes. After that it pretty much smells identical to the original with maybe just a slightly softer drydown.
If you like the original but have run out, why not give this one a go? If you already have Aqva, I'd wait until your bottles nearly empty before parting with your hard earned dollars for this.
Sillage: 3.5/5 (about the same as the original)
Longevity: 3.5/5 (about 6 - 7 hours)
Value for $: 4/5 (this can be found relatively cheaply on-line)
This frag is not much different from the original aqva which by the way is very delicious. This however has a harsh/sharp opening, really spiky in the beginning but then it calms down rather quickly(few mins) to reveal the base note of the original.
I think this is just a rebranding of the original, more like some market strategy. Nonetheless it's still a beautiful fragrance for mature and great men. Mwaah!
I found it by a cheap price, the smell of course is nothing cheap but not better than the original, the diference is not so big but not close, in the toniq version the smell is easier & softer, nothing sour or acid like the orignial aqua. The fruity & mineral combo add a comfortable feeling but the second and finally phase is shy, light and airy making the longevity a problem, i could be in love of this toniq becasue the smell is very nice.
i prefer wearing bvlgari extreme for men..it really stay longer lasting ...perfect for my field work everyday!
Finally it is released after months of waiting in store and I have tested it. I got to done this review fast while the scent is still with me as it is disappearing so fast!
The first note is a harsh citrusy with lemony scent blast to your face, minutes later, it turn to slight salty seaweed with some salty water scent - this is the original Aqva 2nd notes, but much much weaker. and 1-2 hours, the notes turn to very very light ambery vetiver scent. Of all the notes, the lemon and seaweed is the strongest. Longevity ans silage is below average, 3 hours max if you are not sweating, really bad, I guess the name "Toniq" already give you hint that the quality is nothing but like toniq water (diluted water).
For me, this is nothing close to the original version, no depth and short life summer release. For the same price, go get the original and skip this one. Sorry guys, 3/10 from me.
p.s. the scent is totally gone now on my skin after 3hours applied.
also available in 100ml edt..
This fragrance smells like a fish market near the ocean.... i didnt like it at all ...
i've heard that this is just available in 50ml, is that true? is so, thats disappointed
Oh nice, a new Bvlgari. this time a new version of the Aqua pour Homme where i love the original of it.
Which i think is hard to get a better version of, but you never know!
So i wonder how this 1 will be.
The notes looks like a very fresh scent and made by Jacques Cavallier, so i expect quality here.
I hope that i am wright :)
I see someonbe voted it as a Great scent.
I would like to see your opinion explained ;)

My brother and I went to our local pit for some plinking. We took the 7year old, the 9mm taurus pt99af, 500 rounds of junk UMC (cheap walmart ammo) and 2 12 packs of "Dr. Thunder" soda from walmart. Good for targets not drinking. Absolutely vile soda. But the cans are red so make a good target and being cheap they are still full when shot so they POP really well. :image035: We took some pre made targets and a staple gun. Couple ear muffs and trash bags. We always leave with more trash in the bags than we brought in so the pit will stay open.
It really was just for fun and rather informal. I did however pace off 25 steps and fired 3 rounds into a premade paper target.
This was two handed standing slow fire.
I replaced the paper with 2 side by side colored construction paper and let loose with 30 rounds as fast as I could literally yank the trigger. 21 hits to one sheet. Not a machinegun but fun anyways. My brother took this photo with my camera phone, yet he managed to capture brass in the air, next to my right ear.
Cameron is shown here having his turn at a few cans. Got one for the day not bad. I am going to have to get a Ruger Mark I, II or III .22 cal for him though. Maybe a New Englander survival rifle .22 Something small and light for him. Any suggestions on a first gun? I am picking up a BB gun but I was thinking of the days where we go to the range....
A great day shooting.

Sacrificial Blood Ritual in Boston occurs 4 days after MAJOR TERRORISM warning posted APRIL 11th!

Re: Sacrificial Blood Ritual in Boston occurs 4 days after MAJOR TERRORISM warning posted APRIL 11th!
On April 11th, the following warning of a MAJOR HEADLINE TERRORIST EVENT about to occur, was posted to net which explained how AL CIAEDA would be linked to it.Quoting: MatrixLNIN11
COINCIDENCE that approx 72 hours from that warning, a Major Headline Terrorist event hits Boston in which the media are desperately attempting to link AL QUAEDA with?
here's an excerpt from the warning:
the wHORe's of the US media are involved in a huge imprinting psyops right now as AL CIAeda have just put out new threats warning of Terrorism which is Illuminati-CODE from your government that "see, we warned and told you so"... something that always comes just before a MAJOR HEADLINE EVENT because in fact, they DID SEE IT and WERE TOLD OF IT.
In this case, expect IRAN to be linked as well.
Keep an EYE on the HOR of the U & S because it IS the RA of EL
And yes, this event is once again ALL CONNECTED to The TEMPLE OF THE QUEZTALCOATL in Teotihuacan, the 188 Ley-Lines, Stonehenge and the SAME "group" that orchestrated 9/11 and SANDY HOOK.
So it's no surprise that we find the location of the bombing within 13 miles of this LINE.
But since these Lines are approx 1 degree in width, it's SPOT on the LINE.
This month and the coming days include the ANNIVERSARIES of Martin Luther King, VA TECH, OK CITY bombing, Columbine and HITLER
Is another such headline event or major QUAKE about to occur on or around 4/19 to 4/22? Or is that NEXT WEEK? ;)
Thread: IRAN 7.8 Quake hits exact location, date within 48 hours of warning and TIME within 1 hour 4 minutes
I'd say it's the New Madrid where Arkansas, Tennessee and Mississippi meet on 4/19 at 6:18PM The quake of all quakes and the shock to be felt as far as Kansas City.

Re: Sacrificial Blood Ritual in Boston occurs 4 days after MAJOR TERRORISM warning posted APRIL 11th!
This is far more common than is reported. This must be discussed.
My name is Matthew Libman.
I am an only child. I was raised in Wisconsin. Today I live in Chicago, IL. I am a college graduate, a business owner, the founder of a national charitable nonprofit, and an animal lover.
My adoptive mother's name is Dinah Libman. Her maiden name is Dianna Nashban. Her sister's name is Leslie Dee Dee Gooze. They are from Milwaukee, WI.
My adoptive father's name is xxxxx Libman. He is from Green Bay, WI.
I was raised in Green Bay, WI.
My mother's first cousin is a man named David Rubin. Father of Shuvie, Shimon, and Joshua Rubin. During the early 1970s, David Rubin, while home visiting family in Milwaukee during his Israeli military service, committed an act of false flag.
David Rubin unsuccessfully attempted - in the middle of the night - to burn down a Jewish-owned grocery store during the "black" riots of the 1960s-1970s. David was shot by police, arrested, and charged with arson.
His father, Alex Rubin, was a well connected attorney and Mossad/KGB operative. Because of his "relationship" with the judge, the criminal charges were plead to nearly nothing. David Rubin immediately repatriated to Israel, moved his family into a disputed settlement in Palestinian territory, and continued the acts of terror against innocent, honest people.
My life growing up was devoid of religion and god. We had no sense of faith, other than a general "naturalistic" view of the world. There was no love. No hugging. No cuddling. No nurturing. No encouragement. Only coldness, intellectualism, punishment, and greed.
My mother had Lupus, a disease affiliated with witchcraft, and very common among witchcraft practitioners in Hati (I don't believe in demons, but it appears Lupus lets "demons in," I assume there is science behind this, but the hocus-pocus explanation is sufficient for purposes herein).
Our home was filled with metal statues of horned beasts. This included elk, horned giraffes, and about 10-15 small statuettes of horned animals. Until I later read of Moloch, witchcraft, and satanic practices, I thought nothing of this.
When my grandfather returned from serving the Nazi army in Europe, he used his banking connections to become a lithographer. He printed currency and bonds for member banks of the federal reserve. When gold and silver redemptions - something blamed ON German Jewish lithographers (as well as the government of France) - my grandfather died unexpectedly. My grandfather grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin. He was the same age, and was friends with, Senator Joseph McCarthy.
I have Native American blood, and was adopted.
My adoptive mother would torture me on a near-daily basis. I was screamed at roughly 2-3 hours per day. I was beaten with a wooden brush or stick 3-4 times per week.
I was never suspended from school, was well behaved, and got good grades. I was fairly popular, and have been pretty successful my entire life. I was never a bad kid, and never deserved to be punished at all, let alone tortured and abused.
I have suffered many broken bones and countless bruises. On several occasions, my mother took an entire bookshelf filled with books, solid brass bookends, statues, and electronic equipment, and threw the entire, full bookshelf at my head. This probably happened once a month or so for a period of about 5 years during my early childhood.
She only cooked in cast iron pots and pans. Additionally, my mother would drink my blood. In fact, I believe that was the purpose of my adoption - not family.
I was sedated many times, and blood was taken from my body. My mother - with the help of a Milwaukee-based imune system doctor (who was at the same hospital I was surgically performed on for 3 months prior to my adoption from the Lutheran-owned teaching hospital MCW) who treated her Lupus.
I was filled with allergens via allergy shots (I have no allergies, but would be filled with poison). My body would reject the allergens, and produce natural antibodies. My mother would then drain my blood from my body (you should see how anemic I look in early childhood photos), store the blood in the refrigerator, and drink my blood as a medical elixir.
And guess what, IT WORKED!!!! She has outlived her original life span by 40 years. She was supposed to die in her late 20s/early 30s. When I became too old to drain blood from, she began cooking in a cast iron pan.
Good for her.

He is rstill an essen- tial part of the delivery system. A new power ihas not destroyed his use- fulness, it has expanded it.

A teamster is the first need, and It has been found that-'the ideal plan is to train In the horse driver. He knows the trade, can care for the customers. He is a ra- tional man in the handling of the vehicle, and has no desire to break any speed records. The 'business man is, therefore, not called upon, when he installs trucks, to do away with the services of a faithful and .valuable employe. -He merely diverts him to a. somewhat different kind ot work. Much Depends on Driver. Bunt-ness men' recognize that the prob.- successful -delivery rests almost as much with the driver, and with the "sys- with the truck itself. No matter .control of various adjustments may be taken out of'the driver's hands, nor how great an advance may be made toward making the machine foolproof, it must always be remembered the motor vehicle Is highly sensitive piece of machinery, requiring intelligent attention for i'ts consistent performance. The trained automobile driver has this knowledge, but he is not a teamster, and is not familiar with the handling traf- fic and the hauling and delivering of goods. It Is largely through the cooperation of manufacturers of motor vehicles that the problem of training the driver has been carried to so successful a solution. In the case of express companies and department stores, for example, these-.be- ing selected as among the big-gest users of motor trucks, the process .of training drivers has been worked out to a most effective system. The manufacturer, the man who sold the vehicles, is called on for a force of men to train in the operation of the cars. The supervision does not enil with a week OB two of actual teaching that the fac- tory expert gives to the former horse pilot. A local representative of the maker of the car watches the work of the driver, keeps an eye on the condition -of the ve- hicle, and in this manner is able to tell what kind of care the driver Is, taking of it. v. On all questions tha.t arise the expert Is ready with needed information and suggestions. Thus gradually the operator gains knowledge and confidence. This is all he needs. He has the grasp of the laws of the street. He understands all the rules at the railway stations, steam- boat landings, and freight stations gen- erally. He haa the still more Important ability to handle the customers of his firm. Given a .roan of moderate intelligence, if is only a short time before he has become sufficiently competent to handle the ma- chine with virtual immunity from trouble, j Experts Make the Repairs. Big firms further protect themselves by maintaining their own garages and re- pair shops. In such cases the driver is limited to handling the car In actual op- eration. He is not allowed to make any repairs or adjustments on It. This is left entirely to the trained mechanics in the repair shops. W-heh the .machine goes wrong for any reason on the street, the duty of the driver Is done when he has phoned to_ headquarters and asked for help. Then the mechanic goes out and either fixes up the machine on the spot or hauls it to the shop to be repaired. By methods like these, the larger users of motor trucks have been able to com- pletely banish all the difficult problems of driving. Such firms Tvould not con- sider ha-ving any but their former horse i drivers handling the machines. They have found that system gives the ideal result. A remarkable fact'in this connection Is the eagerness of the driver to get. an au-. tomobile job. This Is. develop- ment, In the genesis of the industry the driver ranged himself as an obstacle.in the path of motor-truck progress. The driver used to feel that when the horse went he would go, and so it was often against the antagonism of drivers and stable superintendents that enterprising business men 'ma-de -their first step away from the old-fashioned methods of de- livery. But this is all changed now. The horse driver has found that the motor vehicle In commercial service opens up uridreamed-M'possibllities for him. Higher wage's, better cleaner work, less of worry- In the hot weather and in the snows of winter, and an ad- vance'in rating from a mere handler of reins a flat-footed pair of slowr moving horsels to the skilled pilot of the most modern means of transportation are all factors that account for the change of heart on the part of. the driver. Many instances could given to show this transformation. In a great -local department store the shift from horse to auto truck Is a pro- motion for the drivers who have done the best work, and the system is arranged on a civil service basis. A local bread-making firm' gained so many new., suburban from the great capacity of the motor truck that some of the drivers, who are paid on commissions, Increased their earnings from to weekly. The -benefit to the industry from the changed attitude of the driver cannot be overestimated. The 'obstinate horse pilot blocked many a sale, and often when a machine was put in operation the sullen driver made It the victim of his own lack of skill. Tit was made to bear the burden of his faults. The drlv.er was then able In many in- stances to turn against power delivery the progressive man who should have been Its champion, since he was among the pioneers, in'giving it a trial. But the tain no longer dares indulge a dislike for the power trucfc He has to learn the management of motor trucks or get out of the de- business, for the whole tendency calls for the abandoning 'of horse sys- tems. The new driver desiring to make good in his changed calling and to be an pert driver Instead of a bungler is not content sirfiply to drive the machine and deliveries. He now gives close attention to protecting the machine from abuses in order to extend Us life as much as possible. He has mastered the tendency to over- speed the machine and he also guards against overloading. This Is a fault that was common, .to many a pilot of motor trucks who had been but lately taken from horse teams. He had been told that the truck would reduce the num- ber, of trips to be made in delivering his firm's Ho fell to the temptation to carry this plan too far. It was not enough, for example, for "him to cut the nutnber of trips from, say, four to two. He sought to d.o still better, with the result that tie piled a .weight on the vehicle that it was never meant to tjear. Manufacturers have been active in showing drivers the dangers of the over- loading and overspeedlng. Many have installed on their machines governors, which limit the speed, and make it Im- possible to go beyond a certain pre- determined pace without breaking the seals. When this is done the maker of the machine has his alibi. He is in pos- session of proof tflat it has been the abuse of the truck that has caused trouble. Guard Against Overload. Firms also keep a. watch on loads car- ried by cars of their make In order to pre- vent the Vehicle from being unjustly weighted down with a cargo far beyond its capacity. But it is found that the co- operation of the driver is the best pre- ventive of these abuses, and that the men are constantly more and more willing to lend their assistance toward this impor- tant end. The favorable conditions by which the user of a truck is able to have his horse driver trained to 'pilot It are not limited to the great firms that employ quantities of power vehicles. The man who has use for only one truck stands on an equality with department stores or the express company in respect .to the readiness with which he can get aid from the maker of or agent of the vehicle. There are in this city many firms which use only one, or at most, two trucks. Their delivery is not big enough to call for more. They have no garages, no me- chanical expert, no force of repairmen. The mail who drives the truck represents the entire delivery force. Yet with the help of the company Which sold the truck small firm Is just as weij} iixed as its bigger rivals. ''Every motor truck company, with fts well-maintained service plant, is In a po- sition to supply the smaller truck' user all the facilities he could have by In- stalling his own plant. The driver can be trained by the agent's experts, the gar- age, repair shop, and mechanical expert are ever at the service of the owner of motor truck, and In case of any trouble he can get quick and competent assistance. Lots of concerns whose business calls for only one or two power trucks will bear witness to the fact that the assist- ance of the service station of the sellers of the vehicle mallei It possible to oper- ate the truck with the man wjio formerly drove the horse vehicle, and to do it at a minimum of expense. i Drive the Trucks Safely. It might have been expected that the sudden transformation of a lot of .horse drivers Into chauffeurs would have made trouble on the streets. A whole- train of accidents would have been the in- evitable result had the plan been a mis- taken one. The best proof of the wis- dom of the system is in the comparative rarity of- accidents lit which motor trucks figure. More and more vehicles of this kind are being used all the time. The streets .of the big cities are filled with them; they are operating where the con- gestion Is the greatest; they move-along at a, goodly rate, of speed, in. order to reap the full measure .of. profit for- their owners.'; The of these trucks, of all sizes and carrying all kinds of loads, are being driven by irien who have only recently exchanged the reins for the wheel, yet there is no Increase of acci- dents, traffic moves along with greater smoothness than ever before. This.shows that the horse driver, properly trained, makes the Ideal pilot for the power vehicle. Statistics are at hand to demonstrate the same point. In one month in New York 52 persons were killed on the streets In aqcldents of, various kinds. Horse- drawn vehicles Killed 27, trolley cars 10, leaving only 15 to be charged to all kinds of motor car and com- mercial. All this means tfiat the business man who contemplated installing motor trjicks, but who hesitated Be'cause he did not want to lose a faithful and competent driver, or who felt that he could not in- stall a sufficiently complete plant to keep his machine running in its best form, has no reason to hesitate. His driver can, with proper Instruction, be made a master truck chauffeur, and the service station and repair force of the firm that sells'the truck is a constant guarantee that it will be well taken care of. It is a first advantage of the power commercial vehicle to business that its "benefits are just as much for the small firm as the great one. In fact, the motor truck is often the medium by which the j little company can make its expansion and become the big one. TELEPHONE WEST 213 M. T, Coma. An, W. W. fkouo H. 1S37-S. 1214 V St. N. W.

NBA Betting Predictions April 26th
My season record to date now sits at (54-67) for -17.60 units after New Orleans won by 2 points instead of 2.5 points like I predicted on Tuesday night.
Final night of the regular season tonight and it should be an intersting one. Arguably the most interesting story for the last game is the Charlotte Bobcats. Who would have predicted the Bobcats would be the most interesting storyline at the end of the season? Not I, that's for damn sure. The 'Cats have a chance to go down as the worst team in NBA history with another loss tonight. Here's hoping they do- and MJ can be a part of both the best team (72-10 Bulls) and the worst team (7-59 Bobcats). They'll definitely want to go through with that name change if they finish with the worst record.
Unfortunately the line for the 'Cats game is not up yet, otherwise that would be an interesting game to bet on.
Dallas Mavericks @ Atlanta Hawks
Dallas is battling for a victory tonight because if they win and Denver loses they get to matchup with LA instead of OK City. Atlanta will also be hoping for a W because it would secure home court advantage for them versus Boston in the first round. For tonight's game to matter for Dallas, Denver has to lose against Minnesoata (quite unlikely) and I think Dallas knows this and will rest key players accordingly. This game is more important for Atlanta because they are guaranteed to secure something if they win the game, whereas Dallas only has the possibility of securing a better standing.
Play: Atlanta Hawks @ -5.5 (BetOnline.ag)

Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Dogs who are tagged need to post in their Diary the rules & their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7 dogs to tag THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TAGGED YET and list their names. There are over 288,000 dogs on Dogster so you should be able to find at least 7 that weren't tagged yet! Don't forget to pawmail them and tell them that they have been tagged and to read your Diary, or you could send them a rosette announcing they've been tagged!
So here are 7 facts about me...
1. I am a puggle, which means I am part Beagle, part Pug
2. When I shake, my bottom teeth come out, because I have an underbite
3. I have sensitive skin, so I need to take benadryl before every shot I get, and sometimes different shampoo irritates my skin
4. I can swim really well, but I hate to do it. I get really cold and I claw my mommy's back when she takes me out of the pool
5. My best friend (besides my sister) is my Uncle Pugsley! He's a blind pug that my Nana adopted
6. I like to crawl across the floor on my belly when I play and I climb up on the backs of couches and things, because I used to live with cats!
7. If my people ignore me, I'll dig holes in the yard! Then I get dirt all over my nose and under my claws! Yay!
I tag:
1. Cookie (my Aunt)
2.Sprinkles (my Sister)
3.Mr. Boston Baked Beans (my boyfriend)
I went to Auntie Erin's house on Monday to see if I could swim! They tossed me right in, I didn't even have time to get the courage up to jump in on my own! I swam and swam and I beat my sister across the pool! My legs are much longer than hers, so I guess that's why I'm so much faster! Anyways, I got to swim lots and I also got to take a ride on a big pink raft! I wore my zebra bathing suit and it was really fun! Plus, when I got out, I got to run around with my sister and dry off on our little mermaid towel! I also got a few treats from the BBQ, so that was yummy! All in all, I think I like this swimming thing! But, don't expect me to take a flying leap into that big cold thing by myself!
We went camping for Memorial Day weekend with a bunch of people! We got to see Nana & Pappas and Aunt Cookie & Uncle Pugsley (they are pugs), Nana B & Paw-Paw, Auntie Nean & Jeff, cousin Dante, and some new friends, Joe & Linda, and George & Holly! Sprinkles met them all last year on Memorial Day camping trip #1 for her. But, it was my first time camping with my new family! We got to try lotsa yummy camp foods! We had little bits of ham, bacon, eggs, liver, potatoes, and bread crusts from mountain pies! It was so fun! We had to wait around while mommy and daddy set up our tent, which was no fun, though. :-( But, I found interesting things to do! I found lots of interesting smells and things to look at. Sprinkles barked and barked for their attention, she's a bit of a drama queen. Hehe...
We got to take lots of walks and go potty in the trees! There were sooooo many smells there! We even got to take a walk with Paw-Paw. We also saw lots and lots of other doggies nearby! Mostly big ones, but there were a few small ones like us. There were four big doggies across the road from us who liked to bark. I told them to be quiet, but that just got us into trouble with our mommy and daddy for barking, too. We had to sleep in our crate inside the tent, because mommy and daddy have a big bed that starts out flat, then makes noise and rises into a big bed shaped balloon! If we slept with them, our nails might break their bed... But, we had a blanket and it was nice and cozy in there!
Pugsley seemed to enjoy it there. Cookie wanted to stay in her camper the whole time. She's a little princess who doesn't really like camping that much. I don't understand how she could not like it! It's so fun! I love to be outside and meet new people! I definitely like this camping thing! I'd love to go again soon!!!!!! :-)

Reducing Environmentally Caused Breast Cancer...What a foolish and irresponsible statement.
Anything to suck money from the miss informed folks in Danville.
Breast Cancer research is corrupt...They are all sucking your bank account dry.
Oh...go ahead and throw your rocks at me...but the fact are the facts...most of you just stick your head in the sand.

This is the new Volkswagen Cross Up, a rugged version of the Up city car.
The Cross Up is distinguished from the regular five-door VW Up by its black body cladding for the wheel arches and side sills. The bumpers and exterior mirror housings are also painted with a light metallic silver finish.
The model is fitted with 16-inch alloy wheels with a design familiar from VW's other Cross models, and wrapped in 185/50 section tyres.
Inside, the front-drive Cross Up gets special trim for the seats, special floor mats, a revised instrument panel and chrome surrounds for the air vents.
Power comes from a 74bhp three-cylinder engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox, a combination familiar from the standard Up. VW's initial information on the car does not make reference as to whether or not the traction control system is revised to offer any extra control in low-grip conditions.

The Après Ski Experience
Copper Boasts some great Après Options.
Copper Boasts some great Après Options.
Posted by Guest Blogger
Kevin Berg
on January 5, 2014
Let's face it there are several great reasons to strap some boards to your feet and launch down a steep slope on a semi frictionless surface. Obviously powder would rank the highest, and I would argue that the prospect of hanging out with friends and engaging in a healthy physical outdoor activity is another. One of the best reasons to immerse yourself into the gear crazy, wind in your face, powder craving ski culture, is to burn some calories which can be easily replaced with the après ski beverage of choice. Every ski day should end with a gathering of friends at your favorite après ski destination to discuss the snow conditions and your favorite ski run of the day. In most cases embellishment is expected and even required to elaborate on one's own death defying escapades on some obscure steep run no one else in the world could possibly know about. At Copper there are a number of great locations to meet, eat, have a drink and relax after a great day of carving up the good white powder. Some of my favorite spots at Copper are located in Center Village around Burning Stones Plaza. If the Sun is out and the weather is agreeable I would stop by Jill's outdoor bar and deck to soak up the rays, have a drink and order some great pub grub. The staff are super friendly and will certainly enhance your après experience. Right next door is Jack's bar with a variety of beers on tap, great bloody marys and live music with Lefty Lucy most afternoons. Jack's also has a great deck to enjoy the sun and catch a glimpse of the occasional pro athletes ripping the 22' walled half-pipe. My favorite spot at Copper is the Incline Bar and Grill. The Incline offers an open friendly atmosphere made up of destination guests, locals and copper employees. The Incline's large l-shaped bar, and 20+ quality beers on tap provides the perfect spot to belly-up and catch up with friends old and new. There are also plenty of high top tables to catch the occasional après entertainment as well as plenty of outdoor tables allowing patrons to soak up the sun or absorb some warmth by the outdoor fire pit. The Incline's menu is full of quality bar food plus a full dinner menu if you desire a more hearty après meal. Stop by any of the aforementioned establishments and you are sure to find friendly, like-minded snow lovers, attentive employees and surely a great après experience that could only make you long to wake up every day, strap on the gear of choice and forget about work entirely.

text: Hey guys! My uncle and I finally got the 454 back in the dually. He went to crank it up to warm the engine, and it would die after 5ish minutes of idling. He thought it was the alternator was not working, but when I put my meter on the battery, voltage when the motor was running was 13.5 volts, so it isn't the alternator. When I was testing his theory about the bad alternator, I revved it up to about 1500 rpm, and it ran nice, but when I let off the accelerator, it tried to idle, but couldn't keep a steady idle speed and died. Now it won't idle for anything :| . Anyone have any ideas as to what's going on? I'm thinking it may be the IAC (idle air controller, or something like that), but he keeps asking me if that was the problem, why isn't it throwing a code. As far as I know, the IAC isn't electronic, is it? Also, the motor is throwing a P1345 code, which is CKP and CMP sensor correlation code. From what my grandfather is saying, there is a learn process for that that has to be performed while driving. Both of the offending sensors were changed before putting the motor back in the truck. Any merit to what my grandfather said? We would drive it and attempt the relarn procedure, except that my uncle didn't put the torque converter back in in preparation to drop the tranny to get it rebuilt. Any fresh ideas are always appreciated. Thanks guys!

News: Tagged as FF Quadraat Sans
New Release: FF 61
A brand new design ideal for modern devices, two long awaited and highly anticipated extensions and a whole host of language updates and new Office and Web versions – say hello to FF 61, our latest release.
New design
FF Videtur
FF Videtur is based on bitmap fonts that were created by Axel Bertram, one of East Germany's most legendary designers, for the state television broadcaster GDR-TV. Bertram spent a great deal of time researching and testing the display conditions of 625-line television screens. His findings prompted the creation of Videtur, a functional open serif with moderate contrast and a highly unique shape. Fast forward two decades later and with a helping hand from FontFont's Head of Type, Andreas Frohloff, the whole character set has been completely re-drawn and reinvigorated. The best characteristics of the earlier forms were kept but the typeface's vertical proportions, serif shape, and stroke contrast have been carefully reconsidered.
Revamped, new weights and new language support
FF Netto
We are delighted to introduce the new completely revamped and updated FF Netto. Daniel Utz's no frills spurless sans serif has been one of the FontFonts of choice, particularly on the web, ever since its release back in 2008. The new FF Netto has slightly increased spacing, revised curves and connections and two new extreme weights, the delicate and sinewy Thin and the confident and chunky Black. As if this wasn't enough, Daniel Utz with help from the Type Team have also added new italics for all weights and Pro language support.
New weight
FF Quadraat Sans
Following the redesign of Fred Smeijers' classic FF Quadraat last year, we bring you FF Quadraat Sans Black, a brand new weight to pack a punch on the bold end of the spectrum.
Language extensions and format additions
Our entire Premium Tier is now available in Pro, Offc and Web formats. So, now you can bring consistency and typographical finesse in more languages and across more applications/platforms.

New release: FF59
It is with much anticipation and excitement that we announce our 59th release. With three brand new designs, one extension and a whole array of new Offc, Web and Pro versions of some of our classic FontFonts; FF 59 is one of our biggest releases yet.
The new designs
FF Scuba
FF Scuba is a legible contemporary sans with a distinctive character. Searching for an offline companion for Verdana and not finding the exact tone he was looking for, designer Felix Braden set off to develop a new series of types. The resulting family is a bit tighter and more condensed than Verdana. In small sizes FF Scuba blends well with Verdana, and in display sizes it reveals its particular originality. The design combines constructed letters, like an almost rectangular o, with dynamic strokes and other elements referring to writing. This mix gives the typeface a lively touch, while still keeping true to its technical roots.
For a limited time, FF Scuba Regular is available for free download in OT and Web formats. Download it on the Goodies page.
FF Tisa Sans
FF Tisa Sans is Slovenian designer Mitja Miklavčič's follow-up typeface to FF Tisa. Whether used together or separately, both of his families are excellent choices for branding projects and complex editorial applications. The original FF Tisa is one of the new-millennium favorites in the FontFont library—known for its sturdy and friendly forms, hence its common use in newspapers and magazines.
In all important details, FF Tisa Sans matches FF Tisa perfectly. Aside from the lack of serifs, the Sans features slightly reduced ink traps. Necessary system elements have been fine-tuned to one another, including the color density of blocks of text, the proportions of the letterforms and their distinctive stroke endings, and even the eye-catching Italics. Of course, the FF Tisa Sans character set contains the same range of characters and typographic features as the original FF Tisa, too. Since FF Tisa Sans should prove quite suitable for signage and information design projects, Miklavčič included a range of specially designed arrows in each font as well.
FF Chartwell
Designed by Travis Kochel, FF Chartwell is a fantastic typeface for creating simple graphs. Driven by the frustration of creating graphs within design applications and inspired by typefaces such as FF Beowolf and FF PicLig, Travis saw an opportunity to take advantage of OpenType technology to simplify the process.
FF Chartwell (Pies, Lines, Bars) was originally released in 2011 under the TK Type foundry. In 2012, it was added to the FontFont library with the addition of four new chart styles, the Polar Series as well as Bars Vertical.
The Polar Series (Rose, Rings, and Radar) is a set of new designs, which take on the form of more experimental charts. In an effort to make the charts smarter and more dynamic, each design reacts not only to the data entered, but the number of values.
Find out how to use FF Chartwell and download the User Manual.
Updated and extended FontFonts
FF Meta Serif: Light and Extra Bold
Following the Greek/Cyrillic language update to FF Meta Serif in FF 58, we've now added two new weights to FF Meta Serif—Light and Extra Bold.
New Pro versions
Pro FontFonts enjoy the distinction of extended language support and ease of use, affording the typographer the ability to set text in a much broader range of languages. All Pro FontFonts include Extended Latin (Central European) characters, but may additionally support Cyrillic, Greek, or other/additional scripts. The following FontFonts now include Pro language support and thus speaking 36 Latin-based languages more.

Faces and characters in our Type Department
The FontFont Type Department (l-r: Jens, Andreas, Inka, Christoph)
Have you ever wanted to find out about the faces and characters in our Type Department? In January, for our 'Not Quite An Annual Report' we interviewed Andreas, Christoph, Inka and Jens, to find out about their favorite FontFonts, their taste in music and what their biggest challenges last year were. Here's the interview in full.
Andreas Frohloff | Head of Type Department
- If you were a FontFont which one would you be and why?
FF Amman because the family is well designed in the sense that it's not so digital smooth and glossy. The characters of the fonts have character :)
- What's your favorite music?
I like a broad range of music e.g. Jethro Tull, Neil Young, Keb' Mo' or Norah Jones …
- What was the biggest challenge for you in 2011?
The biggest challenge was to successfully perform the calligraphy workshops at TYPO London.
Inka Strotmann | Chief Font Technician
- If you were a FontFont which one would you be and why?
I would be FF Schmalhans Bold. FF Schmalhans is a very condensed typeface with a large x-height and was first drawn in the 70s. Like me, I was born in the 70s. I have wide legs, I am not really fat but I am broad in the beam so I look like condensed bold. Schmalhans is very clear and I am also very straight in the things I like to do.
- What's your favorite music?
My favorite band is, for over 20 years now, Current 93.
- What was the biggest challenge for you in 2011?
I had to draw my first uppercase German double s. It will be interesting to see if this glyph will be used and which form will be the favorite.
My big private event in this year was my first individual time trial. I trained a lot with my triathlon bike to achieve a good result and I was very happy with my time at the end.
Christoph Koeberlin | Font Technician
- If you were a FontFont which one would you be and why?
FF Quadraat Sans SC Web Pro Condensed Extralight Italic, DirectWrite rendered at 31 px—for obvious reasons!
- What's your favorite music?
Gebrüder Marx, currently.
- What was the biggest challenge for you in 2011?
Answering these questions!
Jens Kutilek | Font Technician
- If you were a FontFont which one would you be and why?
I actually had to ask my wife about this, it's always hard to compare yourself to something like a typeface … I would be FF Spinoza. At first sight, it looks quite sober and not very fancy, but once you get to know it better, you will discover interesting details and how it can take you a long way. I'm also more book than display type.
- What's your favorite music?
My all-time favorite band has to be The Magnetic Fields, for their stylistic experiments and unparalleled lyrical wit. Earlier this year I kept listening to the various Johnny Cash concerts recorded in prisons. It was fascinating how different the atmosphere and performances were between them.
- What was the biggest challenge for you in 2011?
To move into a new flat. I had completely forgotten how time-consuming and work-intensive that was.

New Release: FF58
BERLIN, GERMANY, December 2011 – FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
New Design
FF Ernestine
FF Ernestine was born from the search for a versatile monoline text typeface that would feel warm yet serious, feminine yet firm, charming yet sturdy. This resulted in a strong slab serif with playful ball terminals. Its rather large x-height and wide, open shapes enable it to work well down to small sizes; ligatures, stylistic and contextual alternates, a selection of arrows, and two sizes of small caps enrich its typographic palette.
Nina Stössinger first drew the Roman as a study project at the postgraduate Type Design programme in Zurich, and the Italic in dialogue with Hrant Papazian's Armenian design. Both the Roman and the Italic (which doubles as a harmonious companion to the Armenian component) are available in four individually drawn weights. The four corresponding Armenian weights, nicknamed "Vem" —integrated in the Roman and Italic fonts in the Pro version— share the personable character of the family with proportions optimized for the Armenian script.
Updated and Extended FontFonts
After fonts are released, work continues behind the scenes to improve and extend the usefulness of the faces with the addition of new weights and greater language support. FontFont is pleased to announce extensions to the following typefaces, available immediately.
FF Quadraat and FF Quadraat Sans: Revised and Extended (New Weights, Pro Language Support Including Cyrillic)
Fred Smeijers has completely overhauled his most popular superfamily. Both FF Quadraat and FF Quadraat Sans get a noticeable update to their designs. FF Quadraat also adds a new weight, Demi Bold, to the family, FF Quadraat Sans and Sans Condensed now come in the additional weights Thin, Extra Light, Light and Demi Bold. They are now available as Pro versions, including support for both the Latin Extended and Cyrillic character sets.

Download specimen PDF (2.8 MB).
FF Meta Serif: Extended Language Support (Cyrillic & Greek)
FF Meta Serif by Erik Spiekermann, Christian Schwartz and Kris Sowersby now speaks more languages with glyph support extended to cover Cyrillic and Greek alphabets. FF Meta Serif joins its popular sans companion, FF Meta, in offering this broad range of linguistic ability.
FF Signa: Extended (New Weights)
FF Signa with another addition. The face adds six fonts in three new weights: Extra Light, Extra Black, and Ultra, each with its italic companion. They all support Cyrillic.continues to expand his popular super family
New Office and Web FontFonts
FF QType
FF QType by Achaz Reuss offers its additional weights, Compressed, Condensed, Extended, and Semi Extended in new formats, Office and Web. Just a refresher: Offc FontFonts are the best choice for all who work with the widely-used Office apps like Word®, Excel® and PowerPoint®. Pro means that it also supports additional languages (Latin Extended).
FF Skill Sets: The Right Fonts for All Purposes
With thousands of FontFonts to choose from, the options can be as daunting as they are exciting. So let the experts do the work for you. Typography masters Erik Spiekermann and Jürgen Siebert handpicked the best FontFonts, and compiled them in three Skill Sets — for advertising, editorial, and corporate design. Simply select which Skill Set best suits your practice, and you can start designing without fuss. Not only will you have all the right fonts licensed in one collection, you'll save a bundle of cash too.

New release: FF51
BERLIN, GERMANY, December 2009 – FSI FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
The new FontFonts
Xavier Dupré's FF Yoga family is a type system conceived to work for newspapers and magazines thanks to its strong personality and good legibility. The Serif weights with their sturdy serifs are a good choice for body text, but they also serve as an original headline face with their subtly chiseled counters inspired by blackletters. FF Yoga mixes the harshness of blackletters with the balanced rhythm and round shapes of the Garalde typefaces. FF Yoga Sans is a contemporary alternative to Gill Sans and a sober companion to Yoga Serif.
FF Mister K Dingbats are the newcomers to Julia Sysmäläinen's FF Mister K family, a script typeface based on Franz Kafka's manuscripts. It started with Finnish illustrator Oili Kokkonen creating some pretty funny cartoon characters using letterforms of FF Mister K Regular. Soon after, the design of almost 600 pictograms was on its way. All are based on glyph parts of the Regular with which they make a very good match.read more
New release: FF46
These are the latest additions (release 46) to the FontFont library:
New FontFonts and extensions
FF Chambers Sans OT by Verena Gerlach – Verena Gerlach's experiment with oppositional styles resulted in this combination of static grotesque forms and the dynamic forms of a traditional antique typeface. The weights and italics are finely balanced so that it is especially suitable for setting books, but its frugal originality is also appropriate for use in large sizes like in poster design. The type family contains a range of alternate characters, small caps, ligatures, and (in the Regular weight) swashed initials, making it a versatile typographic tool.
FF Enzo OT 1 by Tobias Kvant – Inspired by a variety of styles, both past and present, FF Enzo is a lively multi-weight sans serif. Its extremely large x-height, and short ascenders and descenders make it a powerful headline face, ideal for magazines, posters and such, but it will work fine for body text as well. The family includes italics, tabular figures and four sets of small figures. FF Enzo is the first major typeface from Sweden's Tobias Kvant, yet it demonstrates a great deal of understanding and skill. We expect to see more in the future from this fine young talent.
FF Max Pro 3 by Morten Olsen – It's always been popular, but Morten Olsen's FF Max is due for a major resurgence in today's design landscape of square forms and rounded edges. The typeface is as fresh now as it was when it was released five years ago, and now it's even more flexible thanks to two new weights at either end of the family: Extra Light and Fat.
FF Netto OT by Daniel Utz – With FF Netto, Daniel Utz has stripped letters of any historical detail, leaving them with the barest, clearest forms possible. This makes FF Netto ideal for wayfinding, where quick recognition is essential. A series of simple and useful icons and arrows add to its utility for information design, and intelligent borders let you group the pictograms using just a few keystrokes.
[ Link missing ] by Fred Smeijers – A new FF Quadraat Sans weight: Bold Italic
FF Trixie HD Pro Light by Erik van Blokland – Since its release in 1991, from "The X-Files" to "Atonement", FF Trixie has served as the defacto typeface of mystery and intrigue. For years, it was the most convincing typewriter font available, but FontFont veteran Erik van Blokland was not satisfied. Early printing and operating systems could only handle so many points per font, so FF Trixie's outlines weren't as realistic as he wanted. Enter OpenType. Now that technology has caught up with his vision, Van Blokland has thrown everything he can at it. The new FF Trixie offers Rough variations that have more detail for use at larger sizes, yet keep the same overall shape as the originals. But the real advancement is found in FF Trixie HD, which contains seven alternates for each character, each with its own weight and texture. Just like typewritten forms, the letters dance on the baseline and reveal the effect of ink on the ribbon. Van Blokland didn't stop there. Playing with OpenType's ability to automatically substitute glyphs, he added a variety of clever effects such as more erratic baseline shifting, faux Greek and Cyrillic, and censor simulation. FF Trixie HD sets a new standard for detail and artificial intelligence. We can safely say no digital font comes closer to emulating a mechanical typewriter. The OT package contains all the features above. Go Pro for CE, Greek, and Cyrillic support.read more

I'm 23 years old, and a few years ago, I lost 110 pounds. I was lucky in that most of my skin bounced back. However, I do have a tiny bit of loose skin on my stomach, breasts, and upper arms, but I really don't think it's enough to undergo a full body lift. I will get either a breast lift or augmentation, as I've read that laser skin tightening doesn't really work for that area, but my question is: since there is loose skin, but not very much of it, will laser tightening help my stomach & arms?
Laser Skin Tightening After Weight Loss
Doctor Answers 2
Shrinking skin and stretchmarks
It is not just that you have some extra skin. You have stretchmarks that extend up past the belly button. This is damaged skin with torn elastin fibers much like an old elastic band that no longer shrinks back after pulling and has multiple cracks in it your skin will not shrink bank. It does not matter what laser or radiofrequency you throw at it. The damage to the deeper layers visible as stretchmarks will prevent it from shrinking.

And I really mean it this time. I'm not being facetious.
Because you see, Sony Computer Entertainment of America just laid off 80-100 employees. It's always amusing to read how badly Nintendo is blowing Sony out of the water these days, but when real people lose their jobs because of it, it's not really very funny any more.
There are two really galling details to this story. First is the press release issued by Sony's spokesman which is so filled to the brim with PRBS that I almost got methane poisoning just by reading it all in one sitting.
"In an effort to accurately align the company to meet the changing needs of our consumers and of our industry, Sony Computer Entertainment America has found it necessary to analyze our current business and to restructure the company as necessary to continue our standing as the market leader," SCEA spokesman Dave Karraker told Kotaku this evening, when contacted for comment. " These restructuring efforts are currently underway and do include the streamlining of our operations and other initiatives to further strengthen the business, reduce costs and increase operational efficiency."
Of course, this being PR, Sony is not allowed to simply state that the PS3 has been costing way too much, hasn't been selling enough and the PSP hasn't been any help either. Corporations simply can't adimt that they've screwed up. To some extent, I understand that, but I really don't think the suddenly jobless employees would find it very useful to hear that they are being fired to help "accurately align" the company.
The second galling detail of this whole story is that when you boil everything down to its essence, this is all Ken Kutaragi's fault. Let's not mince words here. 80-100 people in the United States and as many as 160 people in Europe have lost their livelihoods, and that can all be laid at the feet of Ken Kutaragi. The PS3 isn't failing to catch fire because any of these people wasn't working hard enough. None of them decided to make it prohibitively difficult to develop for or price it way out of the budget for even the majority of hard core gamers. This is Kutaragi's screw up, and now the ground level workers are paying for his arrogance. Meanwhile, Ken Kutaragi has been forced into pasture. It's a disgrace for him, certainly, but he's still getting paid and can put food on the table.
Of course, this is the videogame industry and there is a lot of turnover everywhere. And it's not as if most of these people won't be able to find jobs elsewhere within a month or two (Microsoft Games Studios is probably hiring in Europe). They'll make do one way or another. But it's still a very sad story, and I wish them all the best.

Minute Gas leak
I have a small gas leak either coming from my Gas dryer or my hot water heater. I tried locating it by using soap suds to no avail. I suspect its coming from the piping thats behind the dryer and its not accessable for testing as I have to disconnect it to pull the dryer away from the wall. So I turned off its supply valve to see if the leak stops while still letting the hot water heater operate from the main shutoff. My questions are:
Is there a product thats better then soap suds for detecting leaks?
What about the heater itself? Could it be that there is too much delay between introduction of gas at the burner and ignition.
Looking for ideas.
I generally use the leak detector soap that they sell at refrigeration supply houses, but it's basically the same as what you're using. It has fluorescent dye in the soap so you can see the bubbles a little better. The gas company most often will come out for free with their electronic "sniffer" and find the leak in a heartbeat for you. Trouble is, they can turn off your gas service, depending on what they find while they're there. You can buy a "sniffer" too, but they're quite expensive.
Even a small leak is not a good thing. I would suggest disconnecting the dryer and purchase a plug and then test the piping while plugged. This will let you know if it is the dryer piping itself. Use the soap solution on ALL connections and the valves. Make sure to check all around the controls on the water heater also. If it was a delay between gas flow and ignition, you should hear a POP when it lights. You MAY be able to rent a sniffer but I haven't seen them where I rent seldom used tools. Good luck.
I only noticed the smell about 3 to 4 times a week. With the dryer supply shut down, I will give it a couple days so as to isolate which is at fault.
