Brandi ilovereeses2 Stole hundreds of dollars from me in an eBay selling scam via Freelancer New York City New York

Brandi wrote a job post on Freelancer.com and probably the same on other sites such as Elance, Odesk asking for eBay sellers to help her sell several brand new iPhones. Apparently she was working for an Apple Store in NYC and when they shut down she got some iPhones cheaply. After chatting with her on Skype (ID: ilovereeses2) for a couple months (almost every day), I got to know her, where she's from (Pico Rivera/LA), her family, where she works, where she lives now so I decided to help her out and sell one of her iPhones.
It sold very quickly, I transfered her half her share up front so she'll ship the item. She says she shipped it on Fri Dec 6. As soon as I sent her the money though, I haven't heard from her since. She complely vanished. I've been sending her multiple emails, IMs, texts and voicemails daily with not a single repsonse. [continued below]....
She outright stole my money since she hasn't responded with a tracking number yet.. or any proof at all that she even had the item or shipped it. Now I'm sure my paypal/ebay account is going to get suspended (I just got off the phone with paypal who says that's what they are doing since I don't have the tracking number).
Do not trust her. She's just one of many low life, unethical scammers preying on those of us who really need to make some money and who have excellent eBay accounts. Or "had" great ebay accounts until she had them suspended.

There is an impressively international - one might even say global - aspect to the Vauxhall Maloo. Its Britishness can be dismissed quickly, since it applies only to the badge; what has happened here is that the UK arm of General Motors has simply imported the Maloo from its Australian equivalent, Holden, and performed the mildest possible piece of rebranding.
High-speed pickups are almost unknown over here (the only non-Maloo one I've ever driven was a thing called the Verté Tempest, a rebadged Ford which wasn't sold in this country for long) but they are hugely popular in Australia, to the extent that there's even an important race series for them, supporting the wonderful V8 Supercars.
But it would be a mistake to regard the Maloo as all-Australian, since it also has a lot of American heritage. Its 6.2-litre V8 engine is from Chevrolet, and in fact the whole device is very closely related to the Camaro we tested recently (though that car had less power and an automatic gearbox rather than the manual fitted to the car reviewed here), as indeed it is to the Vauxhall-badged VXR8 which, like the Maloo, is an imported Holden.
I was looking forward to driving the Maloo - why would I not look forward to spending time with something that has a 425bhp V8 under the bonnet? - but I was also prepared to be disappointed. In 2011 I found that the VXR8, while certainly entertaining in a straight line, was a lumbering beast through the corners, and I quickly lost patience with it.
Not so with the Maloo. It's a big old thing with not particularly sophisticated suspension, and you have to be careful with it, but it danced where the VXR8 would have stumbled. I couldn't work out why this should be until the Man From Vauxhall, who seemed frankly appalled by my description of the VXR8 though he tried not to let it show, pointed out that that car has trick adaptive damping, while the Maloo doesn't.
Well, in that case, poo to trick adaptive damping, I say, and give me the more straightforward set-up. It's not the first time I've thought this. Ages ago, when Jaguar first started making cars available with clever CATS suspension it was almost apologetic about continuing to produce other cars that didn't have it, but the latter were, at the time, far superior in terms of both ride and handling. The same applies here.
The E3 version of the Maloo isn't technically much different from previous ones, but it has had some restyling work, and the interior - with full leather upholstery, very supportive race-style HSV Performance seats and new instruments and switchgear - has also been revised.
Another new feature is something called 3EDI, the letters standing for Enhanced Driver Interface. Based on a central touchscreen, this gives a phenomenal amount of information about fuel usage, g-forces, lap times, the amount of power and torque being produced and even whether the Maloo is understeering or oversteering, and if so by how much.
It's all tremendously clever, and a real talking point if you're the only person at your local pub who owns a Maloo, which you almost certainly will be. At the same time, I can't help thinking that if you are actually in an understeer or oversteer situation you could be doing better things than staring at a screen telling you about it.
The cabin is strictly a two-seater, and there's not much point in looking over your right shoulder to see if anything is approaching in, say, the next lane of a motorway, because all that will happen is you get a face full of central pillar. This is another new feature, described as "sailplane styling", and it's very much a case of form over function. Setting up the mirrors to reduce the blind spot it creates is absolutely crucial.
Other than that, the Maloo is a fine car to drive, not least because it rides and handles so much better than you think it's going to, but also because of that fantastic - though admittedly very thirsty - engine, which is a thing of wonder at both ends of the rev range. Taken to its limit it sounds simply wonderful, and it will accept bootfuls of throttle from as little as 500rpm. Yes, five hundred. No, I wouldn't have believed it either. But it's true.
It's probably fair to say that this is not the most practical pickup on the market (I don't imagine it's much good off-road, for example), but it does have a 1208 litre load bay, so it could be put to reasonably serious work if that's what you wanted. The cover, though very light in itself, has a phenomenal amount of bracing which comes into view when you open it, and the hydraulic rams which dampen its movement are so stiff that you might briefly convince yourself it's made of iron.
There is almost no excuse for buying a Maloo, but it's great fun, possibly my favourite of the very few muscle cars on sale today, and one I could almost see myself owning. And that's another thing I really didn't expect to say before I sat in it.

Please help young kid, who's still learning, to get his brakes working
Alright, heres my deal, im not entiraly sure what im doing and brakes is a serious matter so I will ask you. Please please try to answer all my questions, their is alot here so please hang in their.
(on the pictures, the numbers in ( ) correspond to questions listed here)(im not sure if this will work or make sence but here is goes...)
I removed my old drums on the front, installed my bracket, rotors, and calipers:
1. Is their a wrong way to install the flex line and is their a left and right flex lines?(see pics 1 and 2...does that look right?, its not binding on anything or kinking or getting coaght on anything?)
2. In pic 4 the banjo bolt is in with two copper crush washers...are those installed right? one on each side of the line between top of bolt and caliper and how much should I torque the banjo bolt down?.
3. Do I need to bleed MC and the rear drums? or just the front? (in the beginning when stock flex line was removed no fluid came out and it was not drained)
4. Could someone please take the time and tell me the correct way to bleed my system? (I have google it and searched but cant seem to find a straight answer)
5. See pic 1 for this question
6. In Pic 2, the line is hitting(rubbing) on the frame, will this couse any problems? like wearing down the line to were it will leak?
8. In pic 3, the pad has a small clip that is inserted into the piston (I beleive to hold in place) while installing the pad, that clip came undone, im not sure if it broke or if it just poped off. I pressed it back on and tapped around it with a hammer, it is snug on their but can still be pulled off without much force. Whats up with it, could it cost me my life, should I make a trip to auto store and ask how it should be?
9. Is their any procedures or anthing else im missing?
Thanks Guys for the answers to the Q's above.
now i need some advice on...
THe MC in the new pic.... can anyone tell me about it? Wheres RPV valve? How do I remove it?
I have several types of brake fluid availible...... DOT3 and 4.... synthetic.....regular.....high performence....heavy duty....ABS. Would ABS work? mixing fluids ok? Snythetic with regular? (the bottles I have say it compatible with conventional fluids) If I cant mix, how do I tell what was in my MC before? Thanks Guys. Also, if it is important...what kind of boiling point should I look for?
************************************************** ******
************************************************** ******
Ok lol now I need this answered:
If I use the my current MC...how much will the Residual valve couse the discs to drag? After awhile wouldnt the pads wear down to where the pressure makes no difference? And I was thinking about it, the single piston calipers requier more fluid...wouldnt that reduce the 10 psi pressure? or does the valve keep desienged to keep the pressure to 10psi no matter what?
Thank you so much taking the time to look over all that Ive wrote, its alot! Thanks!

A few things here.
1. We need to know what vehicle you are working on.
2. There are several ways to bleed brakes that are correct and a couple that are not.
Generally if you have a companion, you have them pump the brakes an hold the Pedel down when the get a bit of pedel pressure. Then you open the bleeder screw that is the farthest (sp?) from the mastercylinder. Have them hold the pedel down untill you close the bleeder screw and then repeat the process. after you get a steady flow of fluid at that wheel go the next and do the process again. The whole process may have to be repeated around all 4 wheels a couple of times to get all the air out.
A second method involves using a pressure bleeder attatched to the master cylinder. Same basic process except no one to pump the pedel.
A third process involves using a vacuum pump such as a MIty-Vac to suck the fluid through the lines from the mastercylinder to the caliper or wheel cylinder.
One major thing to remember is to never let the master cylinder go dry or the whole process has to start over from scratch.
Yes, You should be able to bleed just the front brakes if the rears were not disturbed.
Remember You will have to have the correct mastercylinder for disk brakes and some systems require a porportioning valve to be installed to balance the system.
The clip in the photo holds the pad in place in the caliper and piston, it should snap into the piston an hold the pad in place.
You may have a bit of a twist in the hose. Try loosening the line fitting a couple of turns and then pop out the clip and see if the hose wants to turn to a spot that gives it less stress. When Installing a hose like that I have found that it is usually best to fasten it to the caliper and then hook it to the bracket and line. Make sure that is the correct hose for the chassis also. Some times they sell a fits-all hose that doesn't fit all.

The car is a 1972 Nova, I will be using the stock MC for now as it will be suffecient for what Im doing (the place where I bought the brakes said it would work) it is not power brakes either. Thanks!
First off you can not use a drum brake master cylinder with discs. Those big single piston calipers require way more fluid than the drum brake master cylinder will move. You will find that when you first hit the pedal it will go to the floor and will require a second stroke to get any braking. Even then it will be insufficient. A remanufactured one from NAPA online is $18.99. See below. It will be about the same price in your local store or AutoZone ect. Don't risk your car or your life to save a few pennies or to get the car on the road sooner.
Item#: TS 101481
Price: $18.99
tax and shipping not included
Disclaimer: The stated price may vary from the in store price and may change at anytime.
Usually ships in 24 hours.
# of Line Ports:2
Bore Size:1.12500
Finish:Rust-Preventative Finish
Line Thread Size:9/16-18
You will also need to install a proportioning valve. The original GM disc/drum system had one and it slows the application of the front discs to allow the slowing acting rear drums to apply properly. I found that a reman original for my '69 1/2 ton Chevy was over $100. from all sources, but Classic Performance Products have their own new ones for a lot less. The Classic Performance Products part for your Nova is part number PVKS-2 and cost is $75. This includes the valve, bracket and short lines. This is the easiest way to go.
You may have to modify your brake lines to match the outlets in the prop valve also. I installed a new line kit in my whole truck so that was already taken care of.
Attached is a picture of my setup. I still have to put one short line on but I wanted to show you what you need. As for the hoses rubbing the frame you will need to put some kind of shield on that line to protect it If repositioning as suggested by Chopt 48 doesn't hold it away from the frame. Maybe a heavy plastic sleeve of some sort then remember to look at it at every oil change to make sure it's not wearing.
The line fittings are 150 inch lbs. and the banjo bolt torque specs are 22 foot lbs. according to the shop manual.
Good luck and ask again if you need more help.

I contacted the custom bracket supplyer (www.scarebird.com) on the issue of the MC, they said it would be ok to use. Please see this thread I made alittle while ago, as others have done the same thing.
Nova drum Master Cylinder compatibility with front discs...need fast help!
Also, the clip on the pad came off the pad, is it designed to come off? or did I bust it off? (pic 3)
And, I wasnt sure of the area for the copper crush washers, I assume their in the right spot (on the banjo bolt) to seal the line to caliper? (pic 4)
Is their any sealent, lock tight, or other washers I need to install (like on the flexline to main line, or does that just hook right up?)
Thanks so much!
No sealent on brake parts period! If you have one copper washer on each side of the banjo fitting you have it on correctly.
You usually take a flat screw driver and pop the clip off the old pad and snap it on the new pad if it isn't broken. I am not sure if you are using a complete new set of rotor,caliper, pads or somthing that was removed from another car. Replacement clips are inexpensive if one is broken. If the tab that you have the square drawn around is good and holds the clip to the pad you are ok to go.
What 39 Deluxe and I were both trying to say is that the drum master cylinder will not allow things to function correctly with disk brakes. There is usually a residual check valve to hold some pressure on a drum system, Used with disk brakes this causes excessive drag between the pads and disks. Using the Napa part number he supplied you should be able to get the correct master cylinder easily by having your local parts house cross reference it.

You cannot use the M/C if it has the RPV valve built into it ( for frt drums ), because the 10 PSI residual preassure will cause the discs to drag, if the M/C does not have the RPV and the combination valve does, you need a combination valve without it. A M/C designed for drum brakes should work as long as it does not have the built in RPV, because actully fluid movement only changes with bore size changes, if there the same between the disc/ drum master and the drum/drum master, everything will be the same and it can be used. And you will need a prop valve, they do have somthing to do with self energizing brakes ( any drum brake is self energizing, because when the front shoe presses in to the drum, it is forced down and that forces the rear drum up into the the drum, acting as a mechanicle advantage ) , that's the main purpose but they do not lighten up the front brakes, they lighten up the rear brakes as the weight of the car travles forward, and prevents rear wheel lockup.
K, a few more things:
Where the Flexline attaches to the fitting to the main hardline, I do not have a guage that tells me inch lbs with that type of adapter. What I have done is just line it up, made sure it was connecting correctly, tightend it up pretty much as tight as I could get it without stripping or breaking anything. Will this be sufficient?
And what type of Brake Fluid should I use? Remember its a old MC with '90 celebrity calipers... I was told to use DOT 3...and 4 would work too. should I use synthetic or regular? And I was also told not to mix fluids. like regular with synthetic...how do I tell what type was in my system before?
And 1 more thing, im confused with MC's. What is the Residual valve? What is Proportioning valve? What is combination valve? how do I tell if I have these or not and where are they located?
I will post a pic of MC tomorrow moring so you guys can see it...if it will help.

Well, here's my $.02 to help you out. I take it from your posts that the car had 4 wheel drum brakes. Then you upgraded to front wheel disc brakes for improved stopping.
**For the more experienced posters, please correct me if I go wrong. I have only seen one car with 4 wheel drum brakes--my cars all have front disc/rear drum**
I would guess that you presently do not have either valve type. The proportioning valve (if you have one) is located just below the master cylinder or on the frame crossmember under the engine. It's primary purpose is to regulate the brake fluid flow to the rear wheels to prevent the rear wheels from locking up during hard braking.
To understand a combination valve, you need to know a bit about the metering valve. All that the metering valve does (essentially) is it makes sure that the front and rear brakes (front disc and rear drum setups only, I believe) A combination valve is basically a central "juction point" for the brake light warning switch (if you've ever run low on fluid, the light comes on because of this switch), the metering valve, and proportioning valve.
The only ones of these I've seen are (or were) in my '93 and my '97 Chevy trucks. They were mounted right to the side of the M/C. My '84 plow truck didn't have anything but the proportioning valve mounted to the frame crossmember.
I hope I've explained what I learned while working on my plow truck's brakes to help you out. Sorry if it sounds simplistic, but I'm a simple kind of guy.
In a while, Chet.
If you had 4wlh drums, you have nither valve, only a preassure differential switch, ( right next to master, 2 lines going in, 2 coming out, an electrical connection in center on top ) all it does is close off a side of the master if that side looses preassure ( broken line ) and turns the brake light on, the PDS could also contain the RPV's but I don't know ( the RPV holds 10 PSI preassure in the line to keep the wheel cylinders from contracting compleatly ), if it does, you need to replace the switch with 1 without, if the master does, then you need a disc/ drum master. the 10 PSI residual preassure will cause the calipers to drag. your gonna need a proportioning valve in rear brake circut, it gets complex why you do, but basicly, all drum brakes are self energizing, the front shoe, forced into the drum and pushes the rear shoe up into the drum acting as a mechanicle advantage, using less hydraulic force to stop the vehicle, so as the weight travles forward, less braking is needed in the rear, so it lightens the preassure, so the rears don't lock, and then there is height sensing proportioning valves used on trucks & vans, which is attached to the frame near suspension and senses suspension load and ajusts the valve raitio ( how much fluid preassure it gives ), to ajust for the weight change on a truck hauling bricks or a van full of people, when it normally would have no bricks, or no people in it.
A metering valve closes the front brake circut until the rear brakes get 75-125 PSI preassure, so they apply first, your car would not have this ither. a combination valve is all the brake system's valves rolled into 1 big valve, which might include a metering valve, it might not.
Ok, a simple way to bleed your brakes (will take 2 people).
First, get 2 large container of either DOT3 or DOT4 fluid. You will probably not use both, but it's always good to have some just in case.
Next you will need a mason jar and a clear piece of tubing. the tubing needs to be clear so that you can physically see any air that comes out of the system. You will be attaching the tubing to the bleed screw on the caliper and then putting the other end in the jar. make sure the tubing is long enough to reach the bottom of the jar when you begin bleeding the system. then, you will fill the jar about 1/3 of the way up with fresh brake fluid.
Also, if you get a new MC (and you should) you will need to "bench bleed" it.
After installing the MC on the firewall but BEFORE you attach the brake lines, fill it with fluid and grab a catch pan and place under the MC on the ground (to cut down on the mess you are about to make). Remove the 2 plastic "caps" from the MC where the lines attach. make sure the top is on the MC. Have your buddy very slowly press the pedal while you place 2 of your fingers over the holes. When the pedal is fully depressed, seal off the holes with those fingers as tight as you can. Do this 2 or 3 times then attach the lines and refill the MC.
Now you can start bleeding the lines and calipers/wheel cylinders
Starting the bleeding process at the wheel farthest from the MC ( you will have to do ALL of the wheels). Attach your tubing and place your jar on the ground, have the 2nd person pump the brake pedal about 3-4 times and then hold it about 1/4 of the way down(steady pressure). Crack open the bleeder screw and let the old fluid drain into the jar via the tubing while your buddy slowly depresses the pedal fully. Look for 'bubbles" in the tubing and jar. when fluid stops moving, tighten the bleeder screw and have your buddy release the pressure. Repeat this process until there is no air...only a steady stream of fluid.
Do this process at every wheel.
why a glass jar with brake fluid in it? Just incase your buddy's foot slips off the pedal before you can tighten the bleeder screw. The fluid in the jar will suck back up into the caliper and keep air out. Just a little bit of cheap insurance.
Make sure and keep a close eye on the level of fluid in the MC. Check it every 2-3 cycles of bleeding and refill it when needed.
Hope this helps.
K, here's my MC, can anyone tell me about it? Wheres RPV valve? How do I remove it?
I have several types of brake fluid availible...... DOT3 and 4.... and...synthetic.....regular.....high performence....heavy duty....ABS. Would ABS work? mixing fluids ok? Snythetic with regular? (the bottles I have say it compatible with conventional fluids) If I cant mix, how do I tell what was in my MC before? Thanks Guys
your gonna deffinetly need a new master cyl, those 2 big things cast in the master that the lines run through, those are the RPV's, no way to remove them. that block right under the master is the preassure differential switch, which fortunatly for you GM has self centering springs so it will center itself, unlike mine on my '67 Ford Falcon which I needed to manually reposition by pulling the prod out and dragging the plunger center with a pin ( just got done with that procedure actully ). if you never added fluid to the master, than it's probably dot 3, maby dot 4 but there compatible with eachother, if you got silicone base ( DOTT 5 ) than you need to get dot 3 or 4, dot 5 is not compatible because it is made ovf diffrent stuff than 3 and 4 ( there polyglycol's where as 5 is a pure silicone ) and do not mix.
If I use the my current MC...how much will the Residual valve couse the discs to drag? After awhile wouldnt the pads wear down to where the pressure makes no difference? And I was thinking about it, the single piston calipers requier more fluid...wouldnt that reduce the 10 psi pressure? or does the valve keep desienged to keep the pressure to 10psi no matter what?
I would like to know about that plate for your nova you got. Is it flat like in the pictures on there site? and what thickness is it?
I would like to know because i think i might make a plate like that for my self.
Thanks and good luck

Sherlock, John, and Trevor: A Sherlockian Trio in a Trio of Sherlockian Adventures
€ 15,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Oktober 2007
Beschreibung"Sherlock, John, and Trevor" is a collection of three stories. Sherlock Holmes is prominent in all three, which take place early in the 20th century. The first two stories, "The Adventure of the Dozen Doctored Gutties" and "The Adventure of The Beleaguered Cub Fan" involve Sherlock Holmes visiting America. The third, "The Adventure of The Departed Loved Ones," Sherlock Holmes has traveling to South America, Africa, and Asia in pursuit of an old nemesis. Dr. John Watson appears prominently in the first two stories. He has only a minor role in the third story. Trevor Waterford is prominent in all three stories and narrates the third story. As a child Trevor was a member of "The Baker Street Irregulars" and helped obtain vital evidence in many of Mr. Holmes' cases. In our first pastiche, baseball's Hall of Fame pitcher and sports equipment mogul, A.G. Spalding, hires our trio to protect the famous golfer, Harry Vardon, in his pursuit of the first U. S. Open Golf Championship, in 1900. Vardon's caddy has mysteriously fallen off a cliff in Scotland. Trevor Waterford becomes Harry's new caddy. The second pastiche involves the Chicago Cubs' journey to the World Series of Baseball in 1906. Trevor Waterford is framed for the murder of a bookie. Sherlock Holmes visits quake ravaged San Francisco to solve a disappearance for A. P. Giannini, famous bank founder. On his way back to England, Holmes visits Chicago, in the nick of time for Trevor. In the third story, Trevor Waterford returns to assist Sherlock Holmes in an investigation of the occult. The case widens to include the prelude to World War I. Sherlock and Trevor travel in a submarine to try and rescue Mycroft Holmes and settle a score withan old nemesis. This story involves a character last seen in Switzerland, many years earlier.

Cutie Pies: 40 Sweet, Savory, and Adorable Recipes by Dani Cone, includes recipes like All-Butter Pie Crust; The Very Best Apple Cutie Pies; Chocolate Cream Pie; and Just Right Strawberry-Rhubarb-Ginger Flipsides.
Makes 1 double-crust 9-inch pie, 2 single-crust 9-inch pies, 16 cutie pies, 36 petit-5s, 8 piejars, 10 flipsides, or 50 piepops
This phenomenal crust is a perfect complement to sweet or savory recipes. It is flaky yet substantial, and never disappoints once you get the hang of it. The All-Butter Pie Crust is your go-to crust; it works with all pie shapes and recipes. Although this recipe, which was developed in our High 5 Pie kitchen, is not the same as my Grandma Molly's, rest assured it is so good that even Grandma Molly approves!
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar, and mix well.
2 Add the butter to the flour mixture, and mix gently with a pastry blender, a fork, or your hands. The goal is to lightly incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients. The butter pieces should be well coated with the dry mixture and somewhat flattened.
3. Gradually add the water to the flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue mixing the dough until it comes together and forms pea-sized or crouton-sized crumbs. The dough should look like coarse individual pieces, not smooth and beaten together like cookie dough.
4. With your hands, gather the dough crumbs together to form 2 patties, gently molding the crumb-like mixture into a patty shape and being careful not to overhandle the dough. Wrap each patty in plastic wrap.
5. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 days. The dough can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks.
6. When you're ready to use the dough, let it sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes to soften it and make it workable. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each of the 2 dough patties to about a 1/4-inch thickness, lightly dusting it with flour, if needed, to prevent sticking, and making sure to roll the dough evenly.

What I did
That first building we were in was a gift store. They were doing a brisk business in rain ponchos. We did not need one because I had brought an umbrella for us to use. A brochure I picked up in the building touts the following:
Looking closer at the brochure I could see we were in for a two and one-half hour, 1.3 kilometer walk through the rain forest. With just a couple of exceptions the entire walk would be downhill.
Our tour began by walking down to the bird aviary. I have been in several aviaries. I must say this is the largest. There were numerous species in the aviary; however, the stars of the aviary were definitely the toucans. For those that wanted a photo, one of the guides would coax the bird onto a shoulder or arm for the perfect shot. Luckily Leslie opted to "host" one of the birds.
Leaving the aviary we shortly arrived at the butterfly enclosure. We had gone to a butterfly farm when we stopped at St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The enclosure at La Paz was significantly better and more entertaining than the one in St. Thomas. First of all it was easily four times the size. That meant there were literally hundreds of butterflies. Second, the layout of the enclosure helped make the experience much more interesting. Since it was built on the side of a hill the topography lent to the interest. Lastly, there was an area where there were dozens of cocoons; several of those had butterflies emerging.
We made our way through the rain and drizzle to the orchid display area. The orchid is the national flower of Costa Rica. I have never seen so many orchids in one place. Eddie told us there are hundreds of varieties in his country.
We continued on to the jungle cats area. I must say my least favorite part of our visit was the various animal cages such as the monkeys, sloths, and the jungle cats. It did look like the animals were well cared for, but I just thought the cages were too small and cramped.
After the good and relaxing lunch we started for the first of five waterfalls. It was a beautiful stroll down several stone stairs. It had stopped raining while we ate lunch, so the walking was a little easier. We finally made it to a bridge from which one could look upstream toward Templo Falls. We continued along, stopping to admire Magia Blanca, Encantada, Escondida, and lastly La Paz Falls.
Our final stop was the gift shop at the shuttle bus pick-up point. While we were on the bench waiting for our bus we were surprised by a raccoon that appeared near the bench. It just sat quietly and watched everyone.
When the bus arrived we all piled on, glad to be sitting. The road at this point is about half paved and half dirt. That is thanks to the last major earthquake in the area. I believe Eddie said that earthquake happened on June 9, 2009. He went on to say the very bus in which we were riding had ended up at the bottom of the ravine. Just before the earthquake hit, the driver that day had dropped off the passengers where we had been let off earlier in the day. On his way down to the shuttle bus stop (from which we had just departed) the earthquake struck. The bus went off the road and rolled numerous times, coming to rest at the bottom of the ravine. Apparently the driver was not badly hurt.
Eddie continued to pepper us with tidbits on our way back to San Jose. One I got a kick out of was his reference to speed bumps as "sleeping police".
At the hotel we went directly to our room to relax for a while.

The Inner Voice
Freedom of the spirit is what so many of us wish for ourselves. We see our spirits soaring like a bird high above the clouds or free from the ball and chain of some of our burdens or conditions in life which make us feel like a prisoner. How do we attain such freedom?
We have to recognize that perspective is more important in how our emotions process our own circumstances. Are we dwelling in the minute by minute happenings of others or can we see the big picture of where that person is heading, for example. It is good to see the person we love, happy and healed. If we concentrate ourselves on where we would like to be going, and hold that image in our minds, we release some of the worry about the unknown that often fills our emotional states.
We may have negative thinking people that we spend time with, and they often will sap us of our own energy. When they leave us, we get tired. We have to put a boundary between ourselves and others so that we can maintain our own peace. We can change our thoughts and fill ourselves up with good positive messages and think of something that we can be grateful for or joyous about. We can also catch ourselves during the day if we go back to worrying and refocus our energy.
Prayers or sending healing to those we care about is often a better approach than direct confrontation or repeating ourselves again and again out of worry. Imagine those you love in God's hands or safe someplace. Then get back to your own life and live it to the fullest. This is your time to feel good and to choose activities that bring you joy.
When we can raise ourselves above the daily fray and know that we will get through this moment, then we can have peace within that may not contain all the answers. It involves an inner knowledge that, this too shall pass and there will be a time when this situation will be over and new ideas will come in.

CLO Managers, Meet the CFTC
October 19, 2012
Managers of CLOs won a delay, but not necessarily an exemption, from a requirement to register with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission if they use swaps.
The new oversight is a result of rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act, which overhauled financial regulation in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. In August of this year, the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission jointly published rules subjecting a wide range of securitization transactions to regulation as commodity pools.
The rules, which went into effect Oct. 12, changed the definition of a 'commodity pool operator' from one that trades commodity futures and options on an exchange to one that specifically includes pools trading in swaps.
Collateralized loan obligations are special purpose vehicles that issue bonds backed by pools of below investment-grade corporate loans; most have the ability to use swaps to hedge these loans against fluctuations in interest rates or currencies, though not all of them do so.
CLO managers, along with the broader securitization industry, had lobbied the CFTC for an exemption. On Oct. 11, the regulator granted permanent relief to many types of asset-backed securities, but not CLOs.
Issuers must meet five criteria to be exempted from registration requirements; one of them is that they must not acquire additional assets or dispose of assets for the primary purpose of realizing gain or minimizing loss due to changing values of the vehicle's assets, according to a client alert published Oct. 16 by law firm Dechert LLP.
That requirement trips up most U.S. cash flow CLOs, which are typically actively managed, at least during an initial reinvestment period.
The four other criteria issuers must meet to avoid registering with the CFTC are:
1. That they operate consistent with the conditions of SEC Regulation AB or SEC Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;
2. The entity's activities are limited to passively owning or holding a pool of receivables or other financial assets that by their terms convert to cash within a finite period of time;
3. The entity's use of derivatives is limited to the use of derivatives permitted under Regulation AB;
4. The issuer makes payments to securities holders only from cash flow generated by its pool assets and other assets, and not from changes to the value in the entity's equity assets.
CLOs aren't the only kinds of securitization that do not qualify for an exemption from registration requirements. Asset-backed commercial paper, collateralized debt obligations, and covered bonds also fail the meet the five criteria.
Dechert said CFTC staff have stated repeatedly that it would consider granting exemptions to such transactions if they use de minimis amounts of swaps, however.
The regulator did throw CLOs and other transactions that don't qualify for an exemption a bone: they now have until Dec. 31 to comply with the rules, instead of Oct. 12.
Bram Smith, executive director of the Loan Syndication and Trading Association, issued a statement advising CLO market participants to consult with their counsel to determine whether they must register and seek an exemption for their vehicles.
In a client alert published last month, law firm Winston & Strawn said that if a CLO is not currently a party to a swap transaction, despite its ability to do so, then the CLO manager is not required to register or find an exemption from registration with the CFTC, but will be required to register or find an exemption from registration prior to the CLO entering into any swaps transactions.
The law firm said managers of CLOs that do engage in swap transactions must either provide a notice of exemption or register as CPOs or CTAs.
Pat Hardiman, partner and co-chair of Winston & Strawn's corporate lending and debt capital markets practice groups, said that the firm has a significant number of CLO manager clients, most of whom either do not use swaps in their CLOs or expect to qualify for an exemption from registering as a CPO under the de miminis tests found in Rule 4.13(a)(3).
Speaking in a telephone interview, Hardiman said many CLO managers that expect to qualify for the de minimis exemption have already started the process of applying for the exemption, which is a fairly streamlined process, and are waiting for the CFTC's decision to pull the trigger.
Basil Godellas, a partner in Winston & Strawn's corporate department and chair of the firm's financial services practice group, said the CFTC's decision not to provide explicit relief for CLOs has caused some anxiety in the industry because the CFTC's regulatory regime isn't designed for these kinds of vehicles.
"It's like fitting a square peg in round hole," Godellas said in the same telephone interview.
Other currently excluded securitization deals include synthetics as well as securitizations of tax liens; future flow deals; royalty payment streams; auto and equipment backed securities that rely on residuals; insurance-linked securities such as catastrophe bonds; container leases; time shares; whole business securitizations and possibly others, according to Dechert.
Dechert's report said the CFTC has also failed to address concerns that the new rule will interact with the so-calledVolker Rule, part of the Dodd-Frank Act that was designed as a ban against proprietary trading.

Fixed a week and can't potty?
Pablo Buster (16 month old Chi) got neutered last week (8 days now I guess) and he seems to not be able to go potty. He will tell me he has to go, so I will take him out. Once outside he smells everywhere and may even stop, but he won't lift his leg or sqat (just to clarify nothing comes out either). This has gotten worse over the last 3 days (more often than not as opposed to just once or so a day). Should I take him to the emergency vet (his regular vet is closed on the weekends) or should I just wait for his regular vet? Am I worrying for nothing?

Steve Kampfer suffers injury while playing for Providence
|04.10.11 at 2:25 pm ET
Bruins defenseman Steven Kampfer, sent to Providence for the final three games of the season, left Saturday night's game against the Springfield Falcons and was reportedly spotted on crutches. The extent of the injury is unknown, though Providence coach Rob Murray did touch on it while speaking with P-Bruins radio announcer Adam Kaufman.
"Steve got tangled up in the neutral zone there earlier in the game with a Springfield player. It's still being determined what the extent of his injury is, but he came back, he played one shift after that, and he didn't feel he could go, so we shut him down for the game," Murray told Kaufman. "Hopefully it's not too serious."
Kampfer, 22, is in his first full season in the Bruins' organization. In 38 games for Boston this season, he totaled five goals and five assists for 10 points and a plus-9 rating.

Pumpkin Scones
Recipe by robynhosky
A version of scones that is dropped and baked instead rolled and cut. This recipe make a lot. I got it from a magazine and modified it a bit to suit our family's tastes. These freeze well for quick breakfasts, snacking and lunchboxes.
Top Review by AlanaC
I doubled the amount of ginger in these, and I substituted 1/2 whole wheat flour, and 1/2 white flour; goat's butter for the butter, and changed the method, to a more traditional way of making scones (combine dry ingredients, cut in the butter, mix in the wet ingredients, pat into 2 discs, cut into triangles). So, when I was mixing in the wet ingredients, I said to myself that this is WAY too dry. But, the dough turned out quite moist. Half of the scones are cooling on my rack right now. The other half is destined for the freezer, to be baked up as I need them. This recipe makes really tender scones, but will need more cinnamon next time. Yes, I LOVE spices.

So far so good ! They are EXTREMELY bright , you gotta spend the extra money and get these 80% brighter ones because you can't compare em to the same regular ones... Put em under my motorcycle gas tank and they really light up the motor and ground , even lights the top of the motor up during the day ! Will be getting more for under the motor just to light the ground more. Definitely will recommend them to others and get some for my 2nd motorcycle.

If these lights last quite a while, they will be an excellent purchase. Used these for ground effect lighting. Used red version for additional tail lighting. Will be installing another set of red lights for braking lights. They are bright enough to handle the brake application.

Brooklyn Residents, Cyclists Debate Park Slope Bike Lane
Park Slope residents and cycling advocates led two boisterous rallies on Thursday, over the future of a protected bike lane along Prospect Park West.
More than 100 cyclists and bike lane supporters held a rally at Grand Army Plaza in support of the bike lane. Afterwards, supporters rode and walked two blocks to meet a smaller group of protestors speaking out against the bike lane.
The Department of Transportation created the bike lane this past summer, after the local community board voted for it in the hopes it would protect cyclists and cut down on speeding automobiles. As a result, Prospect Park West's three car lanes became two lanes, and a buffer zone now separates the bike path from a designated parking lane.
On Thursday, the opposing groups crowded alongside the lane holding signs and chanting, while passing cyclists rang bike bells in protest.
Some Park Slope residents believe that the bike lane has made the street more dangerous, since pedestrians now have to cross a two-way bike lane and then a one-way street when leaving Prospect Park. Some residents also say that cyclists do not obey traffic lights along Prospect Park West.
Other concerns include increased congestion and increased parking difficulties due to the decreased number of lanes.
"It's created a lot of traffic on the park. It's affected schools along Prospect Park West where people are unable to drop off their children in a manner they were used to. It's not a good thing for the neighborhood," said Karin Dimiceli, an office manager and Park Slope resident.
The bright green bike path also detracts from the historic district's appearance, said Katrin Rouner, who also lives in the neighborhood.
"The drawbacks in terms of increased traffic safety issues and the cost to the architecture and aesthetics of Park Slope seem to outweigh benefits," she said.
However, cyclists and other supporters said it's not a pedestrian safety issue, since cyclists should still obey traffic lights, and pedestrians simply need to look both ways before crossing. In addition, many believe slower traffic is an improvement for a street known for speeding cars.
"I used to have to ride on Prospect Park West before the bike lane and it was like taking your life in your own hands. It was too fast; the drivers were going way too fast," said Marina Bekkerman, a graphic designer who takes her bike to work.
Perhaps most importantly, the bike lane provides cyclists with much safer commutes, supporters said.
"Whenever I'm on my bike, absolutely I'm very worried about being hit by a car, and it's so nice to have a little stretch of road where I don't have to worry about that," said Charles Yuen, an artist living in Boerum Hill.
The Department of Transportation is currently monitoring the project and hopes to present its findings early next year.

Pack less. Be more.
@romonsterLocale: SF Bay Area
Last weekend a friend and I went out for 2 nights. We hiked 6 miles into an established camp. The next day we did a 16-mile day hike, and the following day we hiked out by a different 7-mile route. In the course of our various conversations, I told her I'd bought a Backpacking Light membership because I wanted to read some of the articles, but I thought it hadn't been a good idea because I found the community kind of depressing — so many posts in which people seem to delight in pedantic nitpicking over details that, in the end, really don't matter much, and so little attention to the reason we backpack in the first place, the joy of it.
And in the course of those conversations over the 3 days, I found myself pointing out half a dozen little changes I'd made since the last time we went out, and saying, "I picked up this tip on Backpacking Light." Now, I have only weighed my pack once, ever, before my very first backpacking trip 4 years ago. But I noticed that this time I was able to pick it up and put it on with one hand, something I had never even been able to consider doing before. And I noticed that I wasn't worn out at the end of the day, and that I felt much more stable and nimble on the trail.
So, even though I'm sure my pack is heavy by ultralight standards, I have to thank you all for that! Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all…

@butukiLocale: Kanto Plain, Japan
Rowan, it's just a mature community that has been around for quite a long while, by internet standards. People here still talk about backpacking, a lot, but many of us also talk about what people talk about in communities. The fact that we keep coming back to talk is what counts. I think many of the people here would be fun to backpack with because there'd be so much to talk about BESIDES backpacking and gear! ;-)

Sept. 21, 2012 -- Naturally Inspiring spray paint
What was used to "paint" the new marketing slogan on the grass?
A special paint was used that is made especially for turf and grass. It will be easily removed the next time facilities services mows the grass.
Sept. 20, 2012 -- Pedestrian bridge near Ballaine Lake
Although this may be more of a DOT issue, I wonder if a pedestrian bridge can't be built near Ballaine Lake. With the large cabin subdivision across from the lake, there are often students running across the road (in busy morning or afternoon traffic) to reach the bike path. I only bring it up here because it seems that the population in that area is related to UAF.
Nicole Nordstrand, Facilities Services
Thank you for this suggestion. As you suspected, this is something that would fall under the purview of DOT/PF. You may want to consider bringing this concern to the
Fairbanks Metropolitan Area Transportation System
which has representation from the State of Alaska, cities of Fairbanks and North Pole, the Fairbanks North Star Borough and the university.
While Ballaine Lake is on university-owned land, it is within the DOT/PF Right of Way, which requires that the university receive written permission from the State to make any changes or construction within the Right of Way.
Sept. 20, 2012 -- New marketing slogan
I noticed "UAF Naturally Inspiring" spray-painted on lawns in several locations around campus. Is this a new marketing slogan for UAF? I consider myself a reasonably bright guy and I don't get the meaning of "naturally inspiring" in a literal or figurative sense when it comes to a higher education institution. Marketing slogans don't work if their meaning and relevance has to be explained.
Michelle Renfrew, director, Marketing and Communications
In 2011, UAF embarked on market research to gather feedback about what people think and how they feel about UAF. After conducting focus groups, in-depth interviews, secondary research analysis and a major survey, we found that our stakeholders -- our staff, faculty, students, prospective students, alumni and community members -- view UAF as the following:
- We are a welcoming and embracing community.
- We are located in a stimulating and energizing environment that allows us to do the work, research and many activities we all love.
- We are authentic in that people can be who they want to be and are readily accepted.
- At UAF you get practical value: a quality education for an affordable price.
In a nutshell: it is our geographic location on the map, this place called "Alaska" and our many unique programs that make UAF so special. It's what allows us to offer everything from certificates to PhDs, to conduct the cutting edge research we are known for and yet offer relevant courses unique to our many diverse students both urban and rural. At UAF our students are immersed in hands-on learning. UAF is Naturally Inspiring.
The Naturally Inspiring tagline will be part of a new marketing campaign that will kick off this fall. Very few taglines are so descriptive that they're understood without proper context. Without the supporting visuals, narratives and other marketing materials to accompany these taglines in their marketing efforts, one would not understand their meanings or relevance.
Some of the activities you will see on campus leading up to the launch in November are meant to build excitement about the new tagline. Once we launch the marketing campaign and introduce the brand components to campus it will become clear. Until then, we are thrilled to know that people are talking, speculating and wondering what it's all about!
More information is posted along with an introductory video on our branding website.
Sept. 19, 2012 -- Wireless slow at Cutler
The internet in Cutler is SO slow. Someone told my roommates that this is because our apartment is in between two routers and in a "black hole" of internet. That sounds kind of bogus to me, personally. Is UAF doing anything to speed up the wifi up here? We pay a wireless fee! We should have faster internet!
Martha Mason, Executive Director, OIT User Services / CIO
Thank you for communicating your concern over the wireless network in the Cutler apartment complex. The Office of Information Technology is aware of the difficulties faced by some wireless users in Cutler. There are a number of factors which can contribute to this. Some of the primary factors involved are radio signal strength, wireless access point client load, and client wireless device. In your apartment you may be experiencing issues due to any or all of these factors. Due to the current placement of the access points throughout the complex, there are some areas, particularly third floor bedrooms, which have a relatively low signal strength.
There are a wide variety of wireless client devices with varying characteristics, so while some devices may be able to connect in these areas of lower signal strength, others may not. Furthermore, as users today typically carry a greater number of wireless devices (laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc.), there is a greatly increased client load on any given access point. Some of the older access points which are currently deployed throughout campus, including Cutler, are not designed to process this increased client load and users may experience decreased speeds when the access point becomes overloaded.
The good news is that OIT is currently working to upgrade these access points to new models throughout campus, including Cutler. In Cutler, OIT is pulling new data cabling in order to place the access point in more centralized locations so that signal strength throughout the complex will be higher and more uniform. Furthermore, the wireless protocol running on the new access points being installed is capable of achieving greater signal quality to clients at greater distances than the previous protocols, and the new wireless access points are capable of handling a greater client load. Some areas of the complex have been completed, and as the work progresses you should see this improvement in your area as well.
OIT is targeting early to mid-October to have the additional wiring and access points in service for the Cutler complex. Remember, you can always contact the OIT Support Center to report specific technology problems.
Thanks again for your question, and have a great semester.
Sept. 17, 2012 -- Web guidelines not followed
Why does UAF Marketing NOT have to follow the same web guidelines as the rest of us? Their photo site, http://www.photos.uaf.edu/ does not use the standard Roxen template departments are forced to; and the logo is NOT approved according to the regulations THEY put forth?
Jenn Baker, web developer, Marketing and Communications
While Roxen is the only departmental web option supported by OIT, it is not required by departments to use. Departments may choose to use other platforms, but have to pay for and provide their own support, and are still required to abide by UAF's web guidelines. In some cases, users need more functionality that would be cost prohibitive for OIT to develop and support, such as for the photo store and gallery. We still recommend Roxen for most websites, as it free to departments, has a selection of themes and OIT support and training.
In the case of the UAF photo store and gallery, when it was launched in 2011, the logo at the time was an acceptable variation. Admittedly, the exclusion of the required banner was an oversight and the site is now in transition. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Featured Faculty: Dr. K.P. OReilly
Dr. K.P. Oreilly, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Global Studies
Dr. K.P. O'Reilly, assistant professor of political science and global studies at Carroll University, was chosen alongside senior Kali Marcino, a political science major, to present their scholarly research at the International Studies Association (ISA) annual convention in Toronto, Canada. The paper, "Delayed Justice: Examining The Role of NGOs in Guatemala's Recent Genocide Prosecutions," is on the prosecution of criminals for genocide and is the result of Marcino's Pioneer Scholars research in summer 2013 with O'Reilly.
That was my first Pio Scholar experience. This is my third year here at Carroll, so that was my second year on campus. It was a brand new experience, O'Reilly said. "Kali came to me and presented the immediate connection to what I do. I teach an international securities class and we talked about issues of civil wars and genocides giving rise to security concerns, in particular human security and how violations of human rights including genocide are seen as problems that need to be studied in the field."
O'Reilly has traveled to the ISA conference for eight years and suggested that Marcino apply and present their research. They were accepted for the Pioneer Scholar program and began preliminary research on the Guatemalan genocide. During the summer of 2013, the duo traveled to Guatemala to find out why it had taken 30 years to prosecute individuals for genocides across the country in the 1980s.
At ISA, they were placed on the "Accountability for Atrocity" panel for political science research with two other presentations. All of the research presented on this panel was based on justice issues and how they are heard.
The current paper that we have we are thinking about splitting it in to two separate papers and looking at possibly publishing both of them, Marcino said, based off the feedback she and O'Reilly received.
O'Reilly specializes in international relations, international security, U.S. foreign and national security policy, nuclear proliferation, foreign policy and decision-making. He received his bachelor's degree at Lawrence University, a law degree from Emory University, a master's degree from Marquette University and his doctorate degree from the University of South Carolina. He joined Carroll's faculty in 2011.
Outside of academia, O'Reilly enjoys adventures while traveling. He journeyed down the Nile River and went on safari in South Africa. His latest exploring involves trying new restaurants in the Milwaukee area.
