The summer is almost over, but for many of us, the sun's presence is felt on a consistent basis. Although, most dogs are somewhat protected from the sun's Ultraviolet rays by their fur, prolonged exposure can cause problems in the long run such as irritation, burns, and possibly cancer. Canines generally have sensitive skin. Just a half-hour of sun exposure can cause a sunburn, which can appear as redness of the skin or even hair loss.
Working dogs and those that encounter lots of sun exposure are most at-risk for sun damage. Hairless breeds and those that are shaved should be kept out of the sun as much as possible. Short-haired dogs such as some terriers, Dobermans, Pitbulls, and Chihuahuas, as well as dogs with light or pink skin are at high risk for burns.
Canine Skin Cancer
Research has shown that dogs are just as likely to develop skin cancer as humans are, the most common being mast cell tumors and melanomas. Certain breeds are genetically more susceptible to said occurrences, however, any dog can get skin cancer. Skin cancer in dogs most often occur in two places: the noses of fair-skinned dogs or dogs with pink noses or white markings on top of the muzzle. Mast cell tumors can be red, itchy, and periodically swell and then disappear. Melanomas found on haired-skin are most often benign. However, those that arise in the mouth, gums, nails, and toes are the ones to watch out for.
Picking a Sunscreen For Your Pooch
Prior to thinking you need to completely shelter your dog from the outside world, know that there are ways to protect him/her from the sun's harmful rays. Many canine-friendly sunscreens are available. Since the most common areas to apply sunscreen are the ears and muzzle, from which the dog will most likely try to lick off, it is important to choose a sunscreen that is safe and non-toxic. Here are some ingredients to avoid:
- PABA: Can be fatal when ingested
- Zinc Oxide: Ingestion can lead to hemolytic anemia
- Benzophenone-3: Can cause contact eczema
- Other ingredients include: Triethanolamine, Methyl paraben, DMDM hydanthoin, Imidurea
All-natural sunscreens made for children are usually safe to use on dogs, but be sure to read the ingredient panel before application. Many pet parents have gotten creative and began to make their own canine sunscreens. Using simple, natural ingredients like pure coconut oil and beeswax, there are many recipes on the internet available.
Lightweight UV-blocking shirts are also a good alternative. They are ideal for outdoor activities such as swimming and sailing. Plus, it will keep your dog's skin cool throughout the day.
Altering your dog's walking schedule can also help reduce the risk of sun exposure. Take him/her for walks in the early morning and/or evening when the sun is lower in the sky. Take shady paths whenever possible.
The cooler fall season is on its way, but the sun can still do some damage depending on where you live. So, hopefully, some of these tips may help keep your pooch healthy and protected.

Looking For A Radiator Gland Nut
New to this forum, but in looking around seems like a great place!
I'm trying to find a gland nut to fit a radiator valve. House is about 85 years old, and I think this is the original valve.
Ideally would like to source just the nut, but if I need to get a complete valve, I'd salvage the nut itself. Nut looks to be about 1" flat to flat, with the stem being just under 1/2".
Thanks for any help!
With the corrosion you are probably looking at replacing the whole valve
I went to replace one of mine & the newer valves did not match up with my existing valve
I would have needed to try to remove parts from the radiator (50's)
I decided it wasn't worth the possible problem of breaking a part off
I do not turn them on/off & mine was not in as bad a condition as yours
Splitting that bonnet nut comes from over tightening it. Due to the packing having worn out.
So on your other ones, that have to be tightened a lot. Replace their packing, and you won't have this problem with them.
You'll be hard pressed to find a bonnet nut for it. New valves aren't made anywhere close to the same. And those nuts where never really made as replacement items.
I recently had the exact same problem and could not find that nut anywhere. Even went to the one plumbing store that carries everything and they said you cannot buy them as individual units.
Ended up buying replacement valves which installed easily.....once I broke loose the old ones. As Scuba said though, you have to be very careful with them as to not break something off inside the radiator.

It's okay if you need a reminder where the thermostat in your house is these days.
Chances are you've not heard the roar of your furnace or the hum of your AC unit in quite some time. The weather the past 3 months has been absolutely perfect to maintain home comfort.
We are nearing the end of a stretch where daily temperatures have been ideal for keeping the temperatures inside our homes at peak comfort. In fact, the only day you likely used air conditioning since late June was about 6 weeks ago, on August 14th when temperatures hit 90 in the metro. The last time your furnace roared to life was likely during the record chilly stretch from June 6th to 8th when highs were in the 50s.
Many people believe 65 to 68 degrees is a perfect temperature for human comfort. Take a look at the average monthly temperatures the past few months.
September: 69.1 degrees
August: 69.4 degrees
July: 70.0 degrees
June: 67.7 degrees
These monthly averages wouldn't mean much if they were derived though extremes. You could have days around 90 days near 50 and still average around 69 degrees; but your furnace and AC unit would be working overtime.
The remarkable thing about this summer is that daily temperatures have been fairly consistent, with a comfortable overall temperature range. In September so far, daily high temperatures have been in a range between 70 and 84 degrees. Lows have ranged between 51 and 65. If you managed your windows right, you've enjoyed free air conditioning all month.
Heating and cooling data is calculated by degree days. Basically, any day with an average temperature above 65 degrees requires cooling, and anything below 65 degrees requires heat. So far in September the Twin Cities has racked up a whopping 5 heating degree days. That's the reason your furnace is feeling neglected.
Enjoy the comfortable temperatures through the weekend. It looks like you'll have to remember where your furnace is next week.

Brooke Burke-Charvet seems to be staying strong as she prepares to undergo thyroid cancer surgery this week.
"I'm getting ready this week for my surgery and am planning on a speedy recovery," Brooke wrote on her Facebook page to her more than 20,000 fans on Monday. "What a crazy time, but I am surrounded with love and support and that really makes a world of difference."
The "Dancing with the Stars" co-host thanked her fans for the overflowing support and for keeping her spirits high through the rough times.
"Thank you for following me and for all your thoughts and prayers. I feel it, truly, and your energy outweighs my stress!" she added.

The mother of four first shared her diagnosis through a video on the website ModernMom.com in early November.
"I need to have thyroid surgery and a thyroidectomy, which means I'm going to have a nice big scar right here across my neck," the 41-year-old said in the video blog at the time. "It's taken me a couple of months to really wrap my head around this... Now I'm good. I'm ready to deal with it, and I'm going to be fine. I feel really, really strong. Doctors say this is a 'good' kind of cancer to have... My doctor did tell me this is a happily ever after ending kind of thing."

Game Of Thrones star Isaac Hempstead Wright steps up to play the leading role in his new film — but you'll have to listen carefully to know it.
The 15-year-old, who plays Bran Stark in the hit HBO series, is the voice of Eggs, the main character in new animation The Boxtrolls.
Most of his voice work was recorded in London, but he took his first trip to America to record scenes with co-star Elle Fanning. He also recorded scenes opposite Sir Ben Kingsley, who plays the villain Snatcher, in Oxford.

Richard Madden famously annoyed commuters when he took up a bit too much room on the tube
Isaac admitted it was intimidating being screamed at by Sir Ben, who performed lying on a reclining chair to get the bullying voice he wanted. "It was one of the scariest experiences," Isaac said.
"We were in this tiny cupboard of a recording studio and I was cowering in the corner with this huge chair taking up most of the space going through some pretty intense scenes.
"So it's a fairly authentic terrified performance from me."
The Gandhi star was otherwise "really nice" to him but Isaac admitted he called him Sir Ben throughout having heard of his reputation for propriety, adding: "And he never told us not to."
Elle, 16, plays Winnie, a rich man's daughter who realises the boxtrolls — box-like creatures who raise Eggs from a boy — are not monsters.
Isaac said: "It was fun doing scenes with someone else your own age. It really came alive then."
The Boxtrolls is made by Laika, the American studio behind Oscar-nominated hits Coraline and ParaNorman.
Isaac said: "It's quite a cool thing. You're not the only actor really because the animators do the bulk of the acting. I love the zany madcap humour. It's Monty Python-esque."
He said the "nerd" in him loved the experience of seeing animators creating his character at the Laika studio in Oregon, adding: "It was exciting enough going to America, but having a tour of their magical studio on this all-expenses-paid trip was like I'd won some competition."
Isaac, who lives in Faversham, Kent, says he intends to study physics at university and may not pursue an acting career — although he will make more Game Of Thrones. "It's been a mad trip," he said. "But acting is only one of my many interests. I love school and science, I also love piano and music. I'll just have to see how it goes."
The Boxtrolls is released next Friday. Special previews start this weekend.Reuse content

Back in December, I participated in OLPC's "Give One Get One" promotion. The deal was that I donate one XO laptop and get to buy one for myself. [The deal is no longer offered; you can still donate an XO, but you can't get one for yourself.]
I finally received my laptop about a month ago. I have been playing with it, when I have had the time, ever since.
From a hardware perspective, the XO is amazing. It would be a bargain at twice the price. The XO is small, lightweight and runs on a very power-efficient battery. Helping to keep battery use and weight to a minimum, it has neither an optical drive nor a hard drive. Similar to the super-expensive version of the MacBook Air, it uses a flash drive for data storage, although only a 1GB capacity.
The XO comes with a built-in camera, microphone, a slot for an SD memory card, and a color screen. You can even pivot the screen so that it closes with the display facing up (allowing you to use the XO as a tablet or ebook reader). The XO promises to get even better in the future, without requiring a hardware upgrade. As one example, its trackpad is designed to work with a stylus, although the software support for doing so is not yet there.
The XO especially shines as a network device, easily allowing you to find and connect either to nearby Wi-Fi networks or directly to other XO users via a "mesh" network. The only glitch here was that the XO's ability to detect a network could be quite finicky. It failed to find my AirPort Extreme in the same room as the XO, while picking up my neighbor's similar device across the street.
The XO's water-resisitant keyboard is designed to withstand almost any abuse. However, the keys are too small and cramped together for my pudgy fingers and the cursor response to trackpad movement is often jerky. There is no way I could ever use an XO for any serious typing. But, as I sometimes need to remind myself, I am not the target demographic for this laptop.
While the XO's hardware, despite my few complaints, is unquestionably impressive — the software is a different story. The XO uses a Linux OS overlaid with a graphical user interface, designed for the XO, called Sugar. In judging the software, it was very difficult to ignore my experience as a Mac user. There's no getting around the fact that Mac OS X is a far superior OS to Sugar. Most of the software that runs on a Mac is similarly better, both in terms of its ease of use and its range of features, than what comes on the XO.
Still, even trying to put my Mac experience aside, I found the XO's interface to be clumsy and often hard to navigate. As to the specific programs, a few (such as the Web browser) worked pretty much as expected. But others (such as some of the games and the music software) took a good while before I could discern exactly how they worked. I suppose you could argue that young kids would figure these out faster than me; I'm not so sure.
In any case, don't expect any documentation to come to your aid. The laptop comes with none. To learn about the XO, you have to go online — which can be an obstacle if you can't figure out how to get online or have no Wi-Fi access at the moment. Even if you do access the help site, you still won't find details on most of the XO's software.
I also have to question the decision to include advanced applications, such as Terminal and Analyze, right along side of the child-oriented software. There is no way for a kid to distinguish what is or is not appropriate for them to be using.
Most frustrating, I could find no equivalent of any sort of Finder utility. There was no option to easily see a listing of the files on the drive — or to copy, move, or delete items.
The conclusion of a review by Jon Fingas pretty much echoes my overall reaction to the XO's software:
"The Sugar interface does a good job of simplifying computers in general for the educational world, even if doesn't always mask the Linux software underneath as well as it should and is likely to require more help than should be the case in rural areas.
As a private purchase, however, the XO is not much more than a curiosity or a child's first notebook. Once you venture beyond the surface, it becomes evident that the XO's ease of use is only surface-deep: to be as useful in a conventional sense as a Mac or Windows PC, an owner either needs to have tangible knowledge of Linux text commands or else to wait for a far more elaborate file management system, neither of which are very probable given the audience."
In the end, paraphrasing a familiar quote, I admire the XO not always for how well it does what it does, but for the fact that it does it at all. Especially for $200. If this computer were to be sold in the U.S. (presumably for more than $200) as a competitor to low-cost Macs and PCs, I wouldn't recommend it. But for the children in its intended market, most of whom will have had no prior access to any computer, the XO will seem almost miraculous. And that, after all, is the whole point.
[P.S. If you are interested in reading other reviews of the XO, check out the articles by David Pogue and Joe Barr.]

1. If you try a triple jump but only double it, can you throw in another (unscheduled) attempt later without it counting toward a possible Zayak violation?
2. If you have a triple jump planned but for some reason you panic and skate right through it, does that count against how many "jumping passes" you can do in all?
3. What about the short program? If you plan, say, a triple Lutz-double toe as your required combination, but only do the Lutz, can you count that as your stand-alone triple jump and do another combination later?

Amazon.com, the No. 1 online retailer, tries to ensure organizational excellence in part by raising the bar with its executive and technical hires.
To reduce hiring errors, Amazon (AMZN) specially trains some staffers, known as "bar raisers," to be interviewers, the Wall Street Journal pointed out in a recent article. These folks, who also hold other jobs at Amazon, are separate from the regular hiring team. But they wield veto power over job candidate and can block a hire.
"The bar raiser exists to ensure that the next hire should increase the company's collective IQ, capacity and capability — not decrease it," said John Rossman, a former Amazon executive.
Rossman was director of enterprise services at Amazon, where he helped manage global enterprise for clients such as Target (TGT) and Toys "R" Us. Now, he's a managing director with Alvarez & Marsal Business Consulting, a professional services firm based in Seattle. He's also writing a book called "The Amazon Way: The 14 Leadership Secrets Behind The World's Most Disruptive Company."
Rossman says the Amazon hiring process also includes all interviewers writing up a report and gathering to debrief one another following a candidate's job interviews. Notes from the interviews are written up by hiring-team members and the bar raiser (there is one bar raiser per candidate). All submit "yes" or "no" votes.
Rossman reveals more details about Amazon's hiring policies in this interview with IBD.
IBD: What does the bar raiser do after a candidate's job interviews?
Rossman: The bar raiser, along with the hiring manager, works to make sure everybody gets timely and deep reviews put back into the interviewing system. Amazon wrote its own interview management system software. It's called MRT, which stands for Matt Round tool. Matt was an engineer at Amazon who wrote this program. It basically is a tool that helps manage interviews and all the feedback. The bar raiser reviews all this feedback on the interviewees and decides if a debrief (among all interviewers) is needed.
The expectation for everybody on the team is that you are providing really deep feedback in both the content of the interview and why it did or didn't meet certain expectations for the job candidate.
IBD: Was providing feedback easy?
Rossman: I often felt that I needed to be a court reporter. I'm a sort of summary person. But (the process) put an emphasis on being able to write really deep reviews on what the conversation covered and how the candidate reacted.
It's like anything in life. There's a certain degree of good processing, but taken over a certain line of reasonableness, it at times got kind of ludicrous and absurd.
IBD: What do other hiring team members do? Do they do anything different from the bar raiser?
Rossman: It's really a partnership between the hiring manager, the bar raiser and other hiring-team members. It's a consensus test, but the bar raiser has a clear veto. If everybody else says yes but the bar raiser says no, it's a no.
IBD: Job interviews can be subjective. How does Amazon ensure objectivity?
Rossman: Amazon does this by asking very real, problem-solving questions. The best way to make things objective is to ask a candidate, "How would youo solve this problem?"
IBD: Can you give an example?
Rossman: One would be a classic elevator shaft problem, such as how would you optimize the number of floors or stops that an elevator would make, given a set of circumstances, while explaining what the logic would be. Another would ask, 'How would you parse a set of code to count the number of words and the number of letters in a paragraph or document?'
IBD: What kind of direct bar-raiser hiring situations involved you?
Rossman: I dealt with a lot of account-management and program-management types. We would have real-life scenarios about how you would manage a project where you ran into certain challenges or questions. Candidates would also have to tell where they had had circumstances like this before, and how they handled it.
Part of it is trying to appreciate the job candidate's background and part of it is to put them under pressure and see how they deal with certain circumstances in real time.
IBD: Were you subjected to the Amazon interview process when you were hired?
Rossman: When I was first interviewed at Amazon, I had been a partner at (prominent accounting firm) Arthur Andersen and I had run a professional services and sales organization. I had people in the hiring process asking me statistics and logic questions and it was partially funny and partially insulting. I was a 20-year professional at that point and I was being interviewed like someone out of college.
IBD: Are bar raisers used in hiring all Amazon employees?
Rossman: They are used primarily for what I call corporate staff. They are not used for warehouse, temporary or labor workers at Amazon.
IBD: So we're not talking about all of Amazon's roughly 30,000 employees?
Rossman: No.
IBD: How many applications or resumes does Amazon typically get for the corporate posts you refer to?
Rossman: It wasn't uncommon that you would refer to 100 resumes to identify five to 10 people you would want for a phone interview. Out of those phone interviews, you would call in a couple for a day of interviews at Amazon. Out of that you would hire one.
IBD: What are the hardest posts to fill at Amazon?
Rossman: The technical jobs. There are technical project managers, technical leaders.
For more business-oriented roles like supply chain or vendor management, it is slightly easier to find and recruit the correct talent. But technical talent is the top of the food chain at Amazon as it is at most of tech companies, like Google (GOOG).
IBD: What's the bottom line when it comes to Amazon's bar-raiser hiring strategy?
Rossman: I think using the bar raiser as part of a process and a commitment to recruiting and attracting the right talent is probably the magic of Amazon. Probably the biggest risk Amazon has culturally is losing that focus on hiring great talent.
IBD: Who came up with the idea for the bar raiser, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos?
Rossman: I don't know where the initial idea came from. But I can say Bezos from the very first day (of the company) put a ton of personal emphasis into screening and recruiting the best talent, and quickly correcting mistakes. He definitely set the expectations about recruiting the best.

I've been hunting around for the stripes that the Special Edition 2013 wrx has. Ive come up with these two options as my top two "legit" but just wondering if anybody has done similar shopping and found a better provider. I think these stripes look pretty sick (coming from a previous mustang owner) and deff looking to get them on my red 2011 sedan wrx.
1) Subaru WRX STI Graphics Stripes Decals
3) WRX Rocker Panel Racing Stripe Pair Vinyl CAR Sticker Decal JDM Black White | eBay
These aren't OEM or "official" so im a little worried about them. I've seen a lot of other forums talking about ordering from a Subaru dealership, so I may give them a call up tomorrow when their open and ask around there as well. In the mean time though, any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks for the input!

No matter how tolerant we think we are, there's still a degree of sexism in the weird, wonderful and wild world of rock and roll. Although it's hardly shocking to see women playing the music now, the industry continues to be dominated by males.

Postdoctoral Fellow Applications
We seek applications from outstanding scholars in the social sciences who are conducting research that illuminates Japan's relations with the rest of the world in the broadest sense. Thus, we welcome applicants from anthropology, economics, (modern) history, law, political science, public health, and sociology, among other fields. Scholars may examine domestic issues that bear on Japan's external relations or problems that it shares with other countries, and we encourage projects that compare Japan's experience cross-nationally.
During their term of appointment, Postdoctoral Fellows have an option to teach an undergraduate course at Harvard during the fall or spring semester. Having a record of teaching at Harvard may enhance a Postdoctoral Fellow's professional credentials in the academic job market. Areas of particular interest include Japanese popular culture; Japanese imperialism/ war memory; gender and politics in East Asia; political economy of Japan; and Japanese Americans in history, culture, politics, and/or society. Broader courses that include, but are not limited to, Japan are especially encouraged. If you are interested in teaching a course, please submit a brief teaching statement on your teaching interest (see "The Application Process" below). Please note: whether the applicant expresses an interest in teaching has no impact on the evaluation of her/his application.
The Fellowship Grant
- Fellows spend a ten-month period in residence at Harvard that typically begins in September.
- Depending on need, the stipend amounts to as much as: $50,000, and Harvard University Group Health Plan insurance coverage for one. Although these fellowships are normally reserved for scholars for whom the stipend represents their sole source of support, the Program will consider supplementing other grants.
- Awardees must complete all requirements of their doctoral degree to receive a fellowship. If a successful applicant has not already earned a Ph.D. at the time of his or her application, the applicant's advisers must submit a formal letter to the effect that he or she "has completed all the requirements of the Ph.D." by August 1. The letter must include that precise wording, and no mitigating circumstances will be considered. Because advisers may not be prepared to confirm this until they have collectively approved the dissertation and all required changes have been made to put it in its final (deposit) form, we strongly urge you to schedule your defense, if it is still pending, by July 1. No funds can be disbursed until such a letter is received, and the fellowship will be reduced by one-tenth for each month's delay. Depending on the length of the delay, a prospective fellow may be asked to begin the Program in the second semester, and in extreme cases, the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations reserves the right to revoke the fellowship altogether.
- Candidates must hold a doctoral or other terminal degree in a discipline bearing on the Program's research areas. Research projects that focus on Japan or Japan's international role from a comparative, historical, or global perspective are welcome. A knowledge of the Japanese language is not required.
- Because a major aim of the fellowship is to provide talented researchers based outside Japan with an opportunity to carry on a dialogue with the Japanese scholars, officials, businesspeople, and journalists who join the Program each year, preference will be given to non-Japanese.
The Application Process
- Submit a curriculum vitae and the application form along with one or two publications, or drafts of journal articles and dissertation chapters (preferably publications relevant to the proposed research).
- Submit letters of recommendation from three people, at least one of whom is based in the United States, who are knowledgeable about the applicant's scholarly work.
If you are interested in teaching an undergraduate course, please submit a brief statement (up to a page) on your teaching interests, and on your ideas about two to three undergraduate courses you might teach, with a sentence or two on how you might approach each if you were to offer it.
- Complete applications must be submitted by January 16 to usjapan.wcfia(at)gmail.com. Please format the subject line of your email "US-Japan Program Application, Applicant's last name, first name."
Responsibilities of Postdoctoral Fellows
- Fellows are expected to take part in all Program activities throughout the academic year.
- Fellows are required to present their research findings at a Program seminar and to submit a 40 to 50-page research paper on a relevant topic for possible inclusion in the Program's Occasional Papers series. This does not preclude publication of the same research elsewhere.
- Because fellows are expected to devote themselves full-time to a major research project, working elsewhere during one's tenure at Harvard is not permitted.

GNR Fans Not Exactly Thrilled With The Band
It doesn't seem like people are entirely enthusiastic about Axl and his band performing under the name Gun N' Roses:
"I think it's an imitation band — it is absolutely terrible," one concertgoer said shortly after the concert began.
Audience members reportedly began leaving the event in droves as the sound problems continued.
"Tell Axl I said 'get stuffed!'" one concertgoer yelled at a TV camera as he left early. "He sucks, it sounds like shit," exclaimed another.
via BLABBERMOUTH.NET.
You really think Axl's going to listen to those pesky fans now, though?

Behind the Design
- What is your style?
- I love exploring different styles but the majority of my work is very clean, sweet and simple with a whimsical feel.
- Where do you look for inspiration when working on a new collection?
- I find a wealth of inspiration through fashion trends, home d&eaccent;cor, various design blogs, magazines, textiles and photography.
- What would you be doing if you weren't designing stationery?
- I would probably be an art teacher because I love working with children. I love the way they interpret things and life's imperfections.
- Do you have a specific ritual when you sit down to create a collection?
- Yes, I like to find a nice quiet area where I can relax and sketch out my ideas on paper. It's nice to get away from the computer and brainstorm ideas.

Police say hash oil extractor found in apartment was a danger to children who live there
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A man is facing charges for marijuana manufacturing and child abuse after a homemade butane hash oil extractor was found in the living room of their apartment.
Police were called to check on three kids who live in the apartment at 4310 E. Pikes Peak Ave. at 11:05 a.m. on Thursday, April 17, 2014.
Police say all three children are under the age of seven.
Investigators say they found a homemade butane hash oil extractor in the living room along with suspected marijuana and hash oil. They say the items were accessible to the children and very dangerous due to the butane used in the apartment.
Officers say a marijuana grow was also found in the apartment.
The children's father could face drug charges. Their mother was cited for child abuse.

'InTheStudio' Celebrates Queen's 'News Of The World' Album at 35
The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands celebrates QUEEN's 1977 classic News Of The World featuring perhaps the two most recognised Rock anthems in history.
"We Will Rock You" and "We are the Champions" are the opening songs to
QUEEN's sixth studio album and instantly became fan favourites as well as centerpiece songs played at most stadium sporting events throughout the past 35 years.
Brian May recalls to InTheStudio host Redbeard how Queen's singer Freddie Mercury envisioned those songs to be and why that spirit continues today.
"He (Freddie) could already see how it would be, if we played it in a concert and everyone had their hands in the air and we sang "We Are The Champions". And I could see that's what it's about. Years later we talked about it and he said to me, 'Rock'n'Roll is the only place where everybody has a feeling of like being on a team, but you're not fighting anybody.' It's like if you're at a game you have two sides who are singing their songs and feeling very much part of a team, but they all want to kill the other side. The difference at a rock concert is, everybody's in the same team."

All though the town there were the tell tale signs of a old Roman city, the archway and the old pagan temple was much older than the arena, something like 27BC! All these structures were still standing in all their glory, it was amazing.
As gripping as it all was, the water was calling and before we set off north again we spent the remainder of the afternoon snorkeling and sunbathing. Such a hard life.

This shop, Simple Hacks for the Best Road Trip Ever, has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #RoadTripHacks #CollectiveBias #Carrs
Ever since I was a little girl, I have been making road trips. Most of the time it was to visit family members in another state with a short stop somewhere along the way to lend more of a vacation feel. The rare exception was when we visited Disney World during my freshman year of college.
Since marrying and having my own family, I've continued the road trip tradition to see family or when possible accompany my husband to a conference. This summer we took what many could describe as an EPIC road trip totally over 8000 miles. Planning ahead was crucial to keeping the adults sane and the kids happy. Pulling from my experience, I'm happy to share some simple hacks for the best road trip ever.
Simple Hacks for the Best Road Trip Ever: Map Out Your Route
Life on the road is a lot nicer when you have an inkling of where you are going. Today's technology allows you to program a GPS system (built into your vehicle or freestanding) or get routes mapped out by a service such as AAA. For our epic RV trip, we did the initial planning using AAA's online TripTik planner and then entered each night's destination into the RV GPS system or the Google Maps app on my phone to make sure we knew where we were and where we were headed.
Beyond knowing the path to get you to your destination, it is nice to break up the trip with short stops along the way. This could include knowing where a great rest stop with picnic tables and room to run are located.
I have found that driving is so much nicer when everyone has time to get up and stretch.
Or, it could be a place that you'd like to visit which happens to be on your driving itinerary.
Even though we had long days of driving through Canada for our trip we picked a few spots to stop and enjoy the local attractions. I even got the younger boys to cooperate with goofy photo shoots!
Simple Hacks for the Best Road Trip Ever: Bring Activities for All Riders
As much as I love to watch the scenery while driving, it can become rather monotonous after a while. My boys have even less patience and need things that will help them remain entertained or occupied while we are moving. What you bring can be determined by a few simple questions: "What do the kids enjoy?", "How much room do I have?", and "Will sibling issues be more of a problem by bringing this particular item?" If the answer to that last question was probably, then having a timer at the ready was essential for peace on the road. After all, you want the driver to be happy, too!
Favorite activity options that can be enjoyed by multiple individuals at once have been audio books, music CDs, movies (on DVD as we have a built in player in both the SUV and our RV), and games. I have many fond memories of driving my three oldest boys from Ohio to visit my family in Louisiana listening to group favorites like Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl. My boys have brought books, handheld game systems and now the iPad or for the teens their iPods for individual entertainment. I bring books, both print and my Kindle, as well as handiwork items like knitting.
Some of these items have also been used when we are not moving, especially games like chess.
Simple Hacks for the Best Road Trip Ever: Plan Meals and Stock Up on Snacks
My experience is that when you are in a vehicle for hours on end, you will have children that are suddenly hungry around the clock. Even though it is most likely from boredom, you should still plan for it to happen with lots of snacks on hand.
The other food related hack I have used for years is to pack all we need for our meals and bring it with us. When we have stayed in a hotel, I choose one with breakfast included so that's one less meal to plan. Otherwise, I have sandwich fixings for lunches that can be kept in a cooler which gets pulled out at a rest stop along the way.
For the epic RV trip this summer, I included dinners and precooked our entrees and froze them to be thawed as needed. A few (e.g. tacos) were portioned large enough to provide an alternative to sandwiches at lunch time. Doing this saved my sanity as well as some serious cash and lost drive times.
While summer is winding down, there is still time to get out there and have more adventures. With this in mind, I recently visited our local Carrs Safeway store to restock supplies for our last RV trips of the season. They had a great selection of products throughout the store which my boys love.
Some even had awesome sale prices that helped me stretch my budget and snag coffee and a little 'treat' for parents only.
Now I am looking forward to hitting the road again and seeing what adventures we might have.
I'd love to hear about your dream travels, whether in the past or planned for the future!

Ernest Borgnine, a native son of Hamden, came from a proud working-class family. His father was a foreman on Depression-era WPA projects that are still standing in New Haven.
Born with an elaborate Italian name -- Ermes Effron Borgnino -- Borgnine was proud of his Italian heritage even though the family name had been altered.
Borgnine got the biggest break of his fledgling film career in 1953, when he was cast to play Fatso Judson in "From Here to Eternity." Judson beats Frank Sinatra's character to death. The scene is so brutal, and Borgnine is so convincing, that over the years Borgnine has had to contend with Sinatra fans who have threatened to beat him in return for "killing" Sinatra all those years ago.
After "From Here to Eternity," Borgnine became one of the most reliable heavies in Hollywood. Nobody thought he was right to play the awkward, soft-spoken butcher, Marty Piletti, in "Marty" -- a film that was adapted from Paddy Chayefsky's teleplay -- except for one person: the gifted film and television director Delbert Mann.
Mann and Chayefsky flew to Mexico, where Borgnine was filming "Vera Cruz." They initially were turned off by Borgnine's reading of the part, using a Western twang.
Realizing his error, Borgnine read the script again, and this time he imagined that his Italian mother, Anna Boselli, was standing in front of him.
During this bit of dialogue, Marty tries to tell his mother that he is tired of being rejected by women who make him feel like a bug. His mother ignores him, prodding him to go out, saying, "Marty, put on the blue suit, huh?"
Finally, Marty explodes: "Blue suit, gray suit, I'm just a fat, little man. A fat, ugly man."
Marty is a 38-year-old bachelor who lives with his mother and believes, deep down, that he deserves a chance at love. When he finally gets that chance, it becomes clear that Marty and his girl are both ordinary, plain people.
At the end of the film, Marty decides to embrace their ugliness: "She's a dog. And I'm a fat, ugly man. Well, all I know is I had a good time last night. ... If we have enough good times together, I'm gonna get down on my knees, I'm gonna beg that girl to marry me."
"Marty" echoed one of the more expected narratives of the 1950s: the idea that everyone should get married, settle down, have kids and move to the suburbs. Marty himself would like to move out of his mother's house in the Bronx and get a "nice little apartment."
But, Marty Piletti was nothing like Ozzie Nelson or Ward Cleaver. He was rough, raw, stocky and gruff. He was the essence of -- possibly a caricature of -- a working-class dude.
Ultimately, so was Borgnine. Even winning the Best Actor Oscar in 1956 for "Marty," and five wives, he remained to the end a humble and hardworking actor. Before he finally wrote "Ernie," he used to scoff at requests from his fans that he write his autobiography: "I'm just a working stiff -- who'd want to read about me?"
Borgnine is a reminder that America's golden era was not simply a time of shiny, scrubbed suburbs and barbecues in the backyard. The American dream that was incubated in the 20th century was hard won by ordinary, ugly, working-class men and women.
The 20th century was a century of the common man, and Borgnine was one of its icons.
In his passing, I mourn not so much the passing of the 20th century but the dimming of our memory. In the 1950s and 1960s, distribution of wealth, resulting from good wages negotiated by union labor combined with high corporate taxes, made America strong.
Borgnine, who worked until nearly the day he died, reminds me how powerful the common man can be, especially when he is united with his brethren -- or even his plain-Jane girlfriend -- in a common cause.

I was all gung ho when Sony first came out with the XPERIA but that wore off in a few seconds after I actually got to hold and feel their first generation phone. I never bought one. It just didn't feel like it was worth the money they were asking for it. Hopefully this device will reverse that. Can't wait to see it up close and personal. I hope someone builds a Windows Phone that is similar.

Make no mistake: Loblaw's $12.4-billion purchase of Shoppers Drug Mart makes sense for everyone, including Canadian consumers. The country's leading grocer now has an edge over its biggest menace, Wal-Mart.
Not only will Loblaw now be able to sell many products with higher margins – such as pharmaceutical products – the merger will create many co-branding opportunities, such as private labels and loyalty programs.
The addition of downtown stores across small-town Canada will give Loblaw a key real-estate edge in managing socio-demographic shifts as suburbia continues to push the borders of our cities outward.
Some experts have gone so far as to claim that this deal will be transformational for Canadian food retailing. It is indeed significant – the biggest industry transaction our country has ever seen – but is it transformational? Not quite.
Wal-Mart's purchase of Woolco in 1994 remains the most transformational transaction in Canada's food retailing industry. Everything happening in food distribution today continues to be affected by it. Most Canadians didn't realize it then, but Wal-Mart's entrance into the Canadian market would change everything: the way we shop; what we buy; and, most importantly, how we buy and value food.
Ever since Wal-Mart entered the Canadian market, it never hid its ambition of becoming Canada's top food retailer, as it has in the United States. Many believe it is just a matter of time. In fact, Wal-Mart added close to $700-million to its food sales this year alone. Loblaw's latest response suggests that it's not eager to let go of the top position and that it views Wal-Mart as a serious threat.
Wal-Mart's purchase of Woolco generated a few copycats, including Target's recent purchase of Zellers. As Target's first destination outside the United States (with almost 200 stores by 2020), Canada is considered fertile ground for future growth. Sobeys, desperate to penetrate the Canadian food market and Loblaw's closest rival in food retailing, agreed to become Target's key food distributor for a limited time. The strategy seems to be paying off as Target predicts to top $300-million in food sales in 2013. Given a very stagnant market, these sales are coming at the expense of its competition. But after last month's $5.8-billion purchase of Safeway's Canadian grocery stores, Sobeys might not prop up Target's effort for long, as it has other plans for future growth in a very condensed, mature marketplace.
In Quebec, meanwhile, Metro saw in Safeway the deal that got away. Metro, which was part of the United Grocers buying group with Safeway, will likely see its purchasing power diminish for several products, reducing its bottom line significantly in the near term. With Loblaw's purchase of Shoppers, many are now speculating that Metro will hunt down Jean Coutu, the large Quebec-based pharmacy chain. Jean Coutu himself stated that the company was not for sale, but that was before the Loblaw-Shoppers announcement. Equally affected by the acquisition, both Metro and Jean Coutu may be ready to talk.
Whether or not the Loblaw-Shoppers tie-up will work is difficult to tell at this point. Loblaw Cos. Ltd. has a poor track-record of streamlining processes quickly. The Shoppers purchase will likely add more pressure and could create opportunities for the competition. The market is evolving quickly, and while convenience and accessibility are imperatives in food retailing, price is still paramount. Wal-Mart understood decades ago that logistics are critical if you want to offer competitive prices to consumers. That will be Loblaw's main challenge.
Ever since Wal-Mart's big deal in 1994, food retailers have been looking at the Canadian market very differently. More consolidation is expected. Metro may consider B.C.-based Overwaitea Food as its consolation prize, but that is highly doubtful. Certainly, after the Quebec government's hostile reaction to Lowe's attempt to purchase Rona last year, it is highly doubtful anyone would want to touch Metro.
Both Sobeys and Loblaw have made their moves. Metro could be next. But let's not kid ourselves: Wal-Mart is still calling the shots.

Does the unexpected fall in unemployment in March mean the worst of the labour market numbers are behind us?
I doubt it.
To start with, the official data still show the unemployment rate rising at a trend rate of about 0.1 of a percentage point a quarter. But the more widely used seasonally adjusted data also raise doubts about whether the unemployment rate has peaked.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell from 6.1 per cent in February to 5.8 per cent in March when economists had been expecting a further small increase in the rate.
At the same time, employment, which was expected to take a breather after February's strong 48,000 increase, grew by another 18,000 jobs. Employment has risen 88,000 so far this year, in a lagged but stronger than expected response to the acceleration in economic growth from the middle of last year.
The stronger employment numbers and the possibility that unemployment might have peaked naturally triggered speculation that the Reserve Bank would bring forward the start of the next monetary policy tightening cycle, with the first rise in the cash rate in the second half of this year.
There is of course a reasonably close relationship between changes in the unemployment rate and the monetary-policy interest rate, because the unemployment rate has an important influence on the inflation rate that the RBA targets. This relationship is depicted in the top graph, in which annual changes in the unemployment rate are inverted and set against annual changes in the RBA's official cash rate.
HSBC's Paul Bloxham could have been speaking for other financial sector economists when he offered clients this assessment of the March labour force data:
"The labour market is improving, with the unemployment rate falling to 5.8 per cent, and now likely to be passed its peak.
"Combined with a lift in activity, and inflation that is already in the upper half of the RBA's target band, we see the RBA as likely to start considering that rates may need to head back towards neutral fairly soon. We continue to expect the RBA to lift its cash rate before the end of the year."
Not everyone so upbeat
However, there are doubters who point to both the fall in full-time employment and a significant fall in the labour force participation rate in the March data.
Westpac's Justin Smirk warned his bank's clients that the stronger than expected employment numbers did not explain why the unemployment rate fell from 6.1 per cent to 5.8 per cent.
"This is explained by the surprising large fall in participation rate, from 64.9 per cent to 64.7 per cent," he said.
"If the participation rate had held at 64.9 per cent, the unemployment rate would have been 6.0 per cent in March. That is, the fall in the participation rate was worth 0.2 percentage points of the 0.3 percentage point fall in the unemployment rate."
Westpac is forecasting the unemployment rate to peak at 6.5 per cent late in 2014.
"With a stable participation rate, we estimate the Australian economy has to add 20,000 jobs per month just to hold the unemployment rate steady," Smirk says.
"However, if there is a resumption of the trend decline in participation then the requirement is much less than that. If this is the case, then it is possible we may have seen the peak in the unemployment rate."
But is there any sign in the data of that resumption of the trend decline in participation rates?
Take a look at the second graph. It's early days, but to me it looks like the participation rates for both men and women may be starting to head up rather than down.
The male participation rate looks like it might have bottomed in January and is now at the start of a rising trend. The rebound in the female participation rate since December is stronger and perhaps reflects the employment growth in education and healthcare since the September quarter of last year.
Uncertainty over participation rates
We can't be sure about where participation rates will go, of course. If you look back to 2010, the male participation rate appeared to be recovering through the second half of that year, only to slip into its long-trend decline in December of 2010.
But a turnaround in the participation rates of men and women would be consistent with the current increase in labour demand.
Searching for work consumes time and money. People leave the labour market when they perceive that there are no jobs to find, and then re-enter it when the probability of finding work increases.
There also may be supply-side factors at work. Wages growth has slowed, while the recovery of the housing market means that many households are taking on new debt. The combination of weak wages growth and increased debt is likely to have induced more married women to seek paid work.
The argument about monetary policy is interesting. Obviously there is a qualitative difference between a fall in unemployment that is driven by an increase in employment and one that is the result of people retreating from the labour market.
The RBA's inflation target is consistent with the economy growing at a healthy clip.
But it is possible to imagine how a further retreat of "discouraged workers" from the labour market could bring forward the day when the RBA feels compelled to increase rates.
While economists say the decline in the participation rate is due partly to population ageing, most of the decline is simply the result of the cyclical weakness in employment. The current weak wages growth is symptomatic of that weak labour demand.
When non-mining business investment finally starts coming back to life, the RBA will be under pressure to lift the official cash rate from its present very low level of 2.5 per cent.
That pressure will be all the greater if the cyclical decline in participation rates has become more structural in nature because discouraged workers have sunk into involuntary retirement.
That supply constraint would add to the inflation pressures.

Not surprisingly the overall performance of both cameras is virtually identical, which unfortunately means that they both suffer from the same problems. Both cameras start up in a little under three seconds, which is a bit slow but not critically so, however they take over four seconds to shut down again, which can be a pain if you need to put the camera away in a hurry. However it is the shot-to-shot cycle time that is the major problem. In single-shot mode both cameras can manage a shot every two seconds for the first three shots, but then when you try to take another you get a message saying "Processing…" This takes progressively longer with each subsequent shot, until you're waiting eight seconds until you can take a picture.
Meanwhile in continuous shooting mode either camera can take three shots in just under two seconds, but then you have to wait nine seconds before you can take another shot, and nearly 30 seconds of writing to the memory card before you can take another burst of three. Bear in mind that in all tests I was using a high speed SanDisk Extreme III SD card. This is extremely poor performance for a modern digital camera.
The autofocus system is fairly quick in most conditions, and the motion tracking AF lock works well, but low light performance was well below average, and generally failed to focus at all in dark conditions despite the presence of an AF assist lamp. Flash coverage was good though, filling the frame well at wide angle, although I think the stated range of 4.1m is a bit optimistic.
Image quality too is not without its faults. For a 12MP or 10MP camera, the V1073 and V1273 produce extremely small image files, both averaging around 2MB. There is no option to change the compression setting, so you're stuck with JPEG artefacts all over the place, and images that generally look over-sharpened and over-processed. The same criticism applies to noise control, which is heavy-handed even at quite low ISO settings. Colour rendition is bright and lively, as is usually the case with Kodak cameras, and dynamic range is above average for both cameras. However these small positive points are not enough to counteract the many negative points of both the V1073 and V1273.
Sometimes what appears to be a technological advance is actually a step backwards. Both the V1073 and V1273 are beautiful to look at, and the touch-screen interface, while a problem for some people, is well designed and operates fairly smoothly. However both cameras suffer from slow overall performance and serious image quality issues. They're marginally better value than the Sony T2, but not by much.
Would be nice with a review on the movie mode. As this is the big difference compared to other cameras.
panasonic fx35, TZ5 and sanyo hd800 is the competition
the best movie mode now the canon and sony cameras have, althou just VGA
Nice camera, shame about the Kodak's terrible customer service. Purchased mine on 4 May to capture baby's first weeks. Six weeks later - and ten days after birth - it broke. Kodak won't refund or exchange. Must be sent away for repair, taking around 3 weeks. No alternative means of photographing new born. Kodak now say I have to wait in for next 48 hours for UPS to collect product. Handy. Apparently, Kodak only refund products that break within 28 days - not a great endorsement of their products, is it?
Must agree that difficult to see in bright sunlight, but other than this great camera. Video so good that JVC everio now on Ebay, 4 gb card does 29 mins at high def. Simple to use , idiot proof even and great stills. One of the easiest cameras I have had to upload and sort with easyshare software.

On importer trust and commitment : a comparative study of two developing countries
Bianchi, Constanza & Saleh, Abu (2010) On importer trust and commitment : a comparative study of two developing countries. International Marketing Review, 27(1), pp. 55-86.
|Accepted Version (PDF 272kB)
Purpose: Relationship trust and commitment are two key dimensions of international exchanges. Both have been extensively investigated from an exporter (as opposed to importer) perspective in developed country (as opposed to developing country) contexts. To address these gaps, this study aims to develop a model of antecedents and outcomes of importer trust and commitment in two developing countries.----------
Design/methodology: The authors test the proposed model using data from Chile and Bangladesh. Hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM).----------
Findings: SEM analysis revealed that most of the hypotheses were supported in both the Bangladeshi and Chilean context. The findings of this study also suggest that the effects of importer transaction-specific investments on importer commitment are distinct in the Bangladeshi context.
Practical implications: Practically, these results show that trust and commitment are essential for enhancing importer relationship performance in developing countries. Importer trust in a foreign supplier is effective when suppliers are competent and provide relatively superior facilities, as opposed to opportunistic proclivity. Importer commitment to a foreign supplier is stronger when importers perceive that the foreign supplier is not opportunistic, but is knowledgeable and experienced with the importer market, and they perceive that it is an advantage importing from that supplier. Cultural similarity between importers and foreign suppliers improves importer trust in both countries. However, importer commitment in Chile increases with importer transaction-specific investment, but this is not found to be the case in Bangladesh.----------
Originality/value: This study contributes to the importer-exporter exchange relationship literature by testing a model of antecedents and outcomes of importer trust and commitment. The tested model is one of few that considers developing country contexts and incorporates two novel antecedents of trust and commitment: importer knowledge and experience, and supplier resource competency.
