I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this forum, but not to forums in general. I traded in a 2010 Camaro SS for my 2013 WRX. I didn't lose much when it comes to speed with this car. Plus, I can actually see out the back of this, lol. The scooby is more fun to drive IMO, and I have 4 doors now. I wish I would have skipped the Camaro and just bought a WRX in the first place.
Edit: Oh yeah...pics. Sorry they are so dark.

Ripoff Report
First Data Global LeasingPO Box 173845 Denver, Colorado USA
First Data Global Leasing Scam - Trying to collect on a lease I never signed Denver Colorado
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received a ltter from First Data Global Leasing stating that this was the second attempt to debit our business checking account (I do not have a business and the account that was listed is my personal banking account). The letter then goes on to state that the lease is non-cancellable and I could vax a voided check to 954-851-7441 or call 877-257-2094. I just ignored it because I do not have a credit card machine sitting in my house nor have I ever had any money debited from my account from this company. I have now received two telephone calls regarding this and the number they dialed from is 800-274-0441 so I called it back. It is not in service. The number they left me on my voice mail is 877-403-6974 and when I called it, it was always busy.
Beware, I need to get in touch with the BBB and report this as I do not want any dings on my credit history. This is out and out fraud!!

'Boss has the blessings of Mr Amitabh Bachchan'
Bengali superstar Jeet said that he had the blessings of Amitabh Bachchan for the gangster flick 'Boss'.
Kolkata: Few days before the film's release, Bengali superstar Jeet today said that he had the blessings of Amitabh Bachchan for the gangster flick 'Boss'.
"My meeting with Mr Bachchan in Mumbai was an edifying experience and he was so attentive and inspiring. He sounded enthusiastic about my films, about Boss and he later tweeted about me," Jeet, having portrayed protagonist-reformer-partly grey character on screen, said.
"I felt blessed by a towering figure like Amitji who wished for Boss," he gushed.
About his role in the film, having Mumbai as backdrop extensively for the first time in a Bengali film, Jeet said, "My character wanted to rid Mumbai of the mafia dons. There was bloodbath on screen, there were scary fights, but finally truth prevailed, peace returned."
"Now is the time to take the story to people here and elsewhere," 'Boss' Jeet said at an event here.
"Hope any possible offender of law will get the message from the movie, which has a social perspective focusing on the life in Mumbai slums, and mend his way," the Tollywood czar-turned celluloid 'Boss' quipped.
"I am his emotional support. Every man turns to the woman in his life in each given situation, during crisis or happier moment. Even a tough guy will turn soft in the company of his lady love," popular Bengali actor Subhasree, the Mumbai supercop daughter-cum-supermodel in the life of flamboyant 'Boss' said.
Subhasree, who has done some 'jhatkas' and 'matkas' in the song sequences of the highest grosser, shot in picturesque Turkey for the first time, said "Boss is a spectacular movie, high on emotions and adrenalin but again having a rich content."
Jeet, whose Grassroot Entertainment is producing the flick jointly with Reliance, said he did not harbour any wish to turn playback singer from 'bathroom crooner' as he sang some lines from a chart-topper track of the film, already in the airwaves.
Choreographer-turned Director of Boss Baba Yadav said, "The film has a good mix of soulful numbers and foot-tapping tracks. Boss is an attitude film and the masala-reality mixed genre will be appreciated by everybody."

Re: st: adding US state outlines using SPMAP

Re: st: adding US state outlines using SPMAP
Mon, 12 Mar 2007 08:34:11 +0100
I tried to apply a similar syntax to the example datasets:
use Italy-RegionsData.dta
spmap relig1 using Italy-RegionsCoordinates.dta, id(id) ndfc(white) fc(Blues) ocolor(gs12 ..) ///
and I seem to get what you're looking for.
Given your description, it sounds like your maps are expressed in different coordinate systems, so that they cannot be properly combined. Just a guess, anyway.
At 01.41 11/03/2007, you wrote:
I attempted to execute the syntax kindly offered by Maurizio
Pisati, but the graph that resulted showed ONLY the outlines
of the states but with the correct legend (showing the custom
breaks 0 1 2 3 4 32 and selected color palette). It did not
display within each state outline the shaded cbsa/metro
use uscoordinates2
sort _ID
save uscoordinates2, replace
use usdatabase3
spmap numberoffreeclinics if conterminous & type2=="metro"
using "uscoordinates2",
id(id) ndfc(white) fc(Blues) ocolor(gs12 ..) clmethod(custom)
clbreaks (0 1 2 3 4 32)
Note: uscoordinates2 is the base map with the x and y
coordinates for the cbsa metropolitan areas and us-
stateoutline is the base map with x and y coordinates for the
48 contiguous states. usdatabase3 contains the id,
numberoffreeclinics, type2, and conterminous variables.
Also (I'm not sure if this is relevant), the graphs that are
produced have very different shapes. The map of cbsa/metro
areas is stretched out and takes up the entire graph area and
the map of the US states is small and is positioned in the
upper lefthand corner. The US state map does not include
Alaska or Hawaii.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Julie Darnell

Mayhem # 1095677
About Me
I am an experienced small town model with big town experience. I've been modeling for close to five years, and am experienced shooting fashion, catalogue, runway, lingerie, and nudes. I am looking for paid work, and also to improve my portfolio with trade work which I find interesting.
Words to describe me would be sassy, sensual, sarcastic, intelligent, easy-going, conversational, and hard working. I can pose for hours with little to no guidance, and easily adapt to the style needed for the desired look. I am very confident, but also very laid back, and can easily move in my own creative direction, or that of the photographer/designer/hair/MUA. I am extremely comfortable in tight laced corsets. I probably had inhibitions once, but not in years. I do not mind shooting in highly populated areas, hiking to hard to reach areas, or doing new and exciting things in studio. I am extremely at ease, both in front of the lens and before/after a shoot.
If I say that I will be at a shoot, I show up. This is my job, and I take it very seriously.
I am currently accepting limited nude work at my disgression, and I prefer it to have a high-fashion or highly artist slant to the images. I do not shoot nude glamour or Maxim style pin-ups, but will discuss shooting implied nudes in this style at my daily rates.
I am also an experienced runway model, and have taught/coached runway at many large scale events.
I hope to expand my portfolio in all directions, working with all sorts of different artists.
Things which interest me:
Vintage lingerie
8" heels or higher
Modeling with other models
Old Hollywood Glamour
High fashion
Unusual angles
Unusual locations, especially with places which would be considered challenging to pose in
Emotional images
Also -
Check out my clothing design portfolio at www.modelmayhem.com/2166867
I am in the process of developing a line of all trash and alternative material clothing, including plastics, soda cans, hula hoops, clothes hangers, garbage bags and more! I would love to collaborate with photographers, models, hair stylists, MUAs, publications, and anyone interested!

Southern Expansion
Mike Chapman, print manager for Habitat for Humanity International, has moved his in-plant into a new facility that's three times as large.
LOOKING FOR work straight out of high school, Mike Chapman consulted a friend whose father was a manager for a local Atlanta print shop. He took an entry-level position there, and immediately knew that he had made the right decision.
"Once I got printing in my blood I knew I wanted to be a printer," recalls Chapman, now print manager for Habitat for Humanity International. But in between his first job and his current one, he did a bit of traveling.
First he moved to Tennessee to take a press operator job with World Color Press. Later, the industry took him as far away as Nebraska. Far from home, Chapman grew restless. Then, six years ago, he heard of an opening back in Georgia, with Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing organization committed to building affordable housing in partnership with people in need.
The opening was for the print manager position at the struggling in-plant. At the time the shop had a 20-year-old, "worn-out" A.B.Dick press, Chapman says. It also had just purchased a Ryobi 522, but the press was an odd size for the work the shop was doing. These equipment deficiencies resulted in a lot of outsourcing and extra costs for the organization.
Chapman got the job and went right to work updating the in-plant, located in Americus, Ga. He traded in the Ryobi for 19×25˝ Omni and upgraded the A.B.Dick with an Itek press. He also brought in new folding and cutting equipment, and later added a second collator to the shop.
"We were sending out quite a bit of work," Chapman notes. These improvements proved to be the answer to the outsourcing problem. The nine-employee shop now boasts it is saving the organization over $500,000 per year. Chapman feels these savings have given the in-plant good exposure within the organization and have built trust with its customers. Those good feelings have resulted in a larger facility for the in-plant.

Go Behind The Scenes Of Our First Dog Cover Shoot!
August 22 2016
Our September issue is all about getting outside with your pup!
Just two days before attempting her first marathon, we photographed softball legend Jennie Finch at James Weber Studio (jamesweberstudio.com) in Manhattan. The Louisiana local was in town to run the 2011 New York City Marathon. Jennie was all smiles as she prepared to start in last place at the race – for every runner she passed, Timex promised to donate $1 to the New York Road Runners Youth Program.
As a two-time Olympic-medalist, Jennie is no stranger to tough competition. But she admitted being a little nervous about running 26.2 miles for the very first time – especially after giving birth to her second son, Diesel, just four months prior to the race!

Approved by the:
University Senate - April 6, 2006
Administration - August 21, 2006
Board of Regents - PENDING
Part A:
The Social Concerns Committee requests that the Board of Regents replace their policy outlining the investment responsibilities of the Social Concerns Committee in favor of one delegating these responsibilities to the President of the University.
Part B:
The University Senate requests that the President prepare an administrative policy documenting how the social impacts of the University's investment responsibilities will be addressed. It is expected that the Social Concerns Committee will be consulted in the preparation of this document.
To our knowledge, the Social Concerns Committee is the only Senate committee that has a Board of Regents policy governing aspects of its charge. The Board of Regents Office has been working to streamline its policies by delegating administrative functions to the President who, in turn, delegates them to appropriate administrators working with Senate committees. Board policies provide the overall framework and direction for the administration of the University. For this reason, the Social Concerns Committee believes that the University investment policy should be consistent with other Regents policies delegating responsibility from the Regents to the President. The Social Concerns Committee responsibilities in the area of investments should be part of an administrative policy dealing with investments.

LYNWOOD -- Lynwood residents who advertise parties via social media such as Facebook may have sheriff's deputies show up uninvited.
``Not only are sheriff's deputies monitoring the city's streets via ... real-time surveillance cameras, but they're also monitoring social media sites and public pages for anything to do with `public' parties or illegal activities,'' according to city spokeswoman Marisela Santana.
The parties, she said, become illegal when admission is charged.
``This is about taking a proactive approach to party calls and preventing them from getting out of control'' sheriff's Lt. Ernie Chavez said. ``We're not going out and telling people they can't have house parties, but we are telling them that they need to be responsible.''
The city has an ordinance for dealing with loud parties and pays the sheriff's department to have a ``party car'' on patrol on Saturday nights, Santana said.
Music that is audible from 50 feet away from its source is grounds for a violation of the city ordinance. As of the end of October, sheriff's deputies have responded to 1,299 noise reports, Santana said.

BRPD: Hit-and-run suspects also wanted for armed robbery
BATON ROUGE - BRPD says the three men wanted for a hit-and-run that killed another driver late Monday night were on-the-run from police from an armed robbery earlier in the day.
The wreck happened at North 30th and Fairfields in Baton Rouge just before midnight on Monday. Witnesses said a car ran through a stop sign on North 30th and slammed into another vehicle, sending it into a telephone pole. The car snapped the pole in half.
People living near by say the crash was loud and very gruesome.
"I was in the car with my friends and I seen this wreck. The man was thrown out the car and it hurt my feelings when I saw he was dead," said eyewitness Allegriae Dupree.
The three men in the vehicle got out of the car and fled the scene on foot. According to police, the men are also wanted for the armed robbery of a man's cell phone on Monday afternoon.
The driver of the vehicle the car hit was ejected and died at the scene. Police have not released the name of the victim at this time.
Now people in the area are left on edge.
"I'm paranoid and scared. Now I'm going to be scared for the children that walk in the streets since they have reckless drivers. They took someone's life," said Dupree.
Police are also investigating to see if the officers involved in the chase followed the department's pursuit policy.

Released August 11, 2013
Construction part of PEM's landmark $650 million Advancement Campaign
$570 million raised to date
175,000-square-foot expansion to open in 2019
SALEM, MA - The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) announces the selection of Ennead Architects to design the museum's $200 million, 175,000-square-foot expansion. Renowned for design excellence and for its collaborative approach, Ennead was chosen from a group of distinguished architecture firms that were invited to participate in a design charrette this summer. Ennead brings extensive museum experience to the project, having designed the much-acclaimed renovation and expansion of the Yale University Art Gallery, as well as several significant projects at the Brooklyn Museum, Natural History Museum of Utah, William J. Clinton Presidential Center and the Rose Center for Earth and Space at the American Museum of Natural History.
"Ennead Architects impressed us with their creative dexterity, in-depth understanding of our institution and thoughtful design solutions for the museum's complex architectural program. We celebrate their responsive, collaborative spirit and look forward to partnering with them to achieve a design that provides a superlative museum experience," said Dan Monroe, PEM's Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo Director and CEO.
"Ennead Architects brings experience, creativity and tremendous talent to PEM's expansion project," said Samuel T. Byrne, Co-Chairman of the PEM Board of Trustees. "We feel confident they will create a building that will serve the museum well into the future."
Ennead was chosen after the successful completion of the first phase of the building project, executed by Rick Mather Architects of London, U.K. The initial phase included master planning and the renovation of the Dodge wing, which will reopen in October with a new and expanded Art & Nature Center, and a vibrant program of special exhibitions.
"PEM's expansion presents an exciting design challenge and an opportunity to reimagine one of the oldest and fastest growing museums in the country," said Ennead design partner Richard Olcott. "We are committed to creating a design that functionally integrates the museum's existing campus with a bold new vision that enhances the museum both aesthetically and experientially."
PEM's $200 million building expansion project is part of a landmark $650 million Campaign to advance the museum's mission of celebrating outstanding art, culture and creative expression in ways that transform people's lives. The expansion will add approximately 75,000 square feet of new galleries; public program and education spaces; a restaurant, as well as essential improvements to the museum's collection, conservation and exhibition processing areas.
Groundbreaking for PEM's expansion project is to commence in 2015, and the new wing will open to the public in 2019. PEM will remain open throughout the construction process until the final months, when re-installation of the museum's galleries will take place.
Known for powerful and sustainable building designs for cultural, educational, scientific and governmental institutions, the internationally acclaimed Ennead Architects (formerly Polshek Partnership) has been a leader in the design world for decades. Its buildings have been recognized for architectural excellence, for their significant contributions to the cultural life of their communities and for the enhancement of their physical contexts. Recipient of the prestigious AIA NY Medal of Honor and the Smithsonian Institution-Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and numerous design awards for individual buildings, including 12 National AIA Honor Awards, Ennead engages in work across the spectrum of architectural endeavor, including new building design, planning and adaptive re-use.
Announced in 2011, PEM's visionary $650 million Advancement Campaign - of which $570 million has been raised to date - will ensure that one of the nation's oldest art museums will continue to adapt and thrive in the centuries ahead. The Campaign is distinct for its focus on endowment and long-range planning, as well as its emphasis on fulfilling the museum's mission. An allocation of $350 million to PEM's current endowment of $280 million will make it one of the largest and most sustainable of any art museum in the country.
In a January 29, 2013, feature, The Wall Street Journal called PEM's institutional focus on endowment a "retooling the traditional business model for museums." When the Campaign is completed in 2019, the museum expects to finance 58 percent of its annual budget from the endowment, an economic stability that The Journal notes," very few other museums come close to."
PEM's Advancement Campaign allocates $100 million to infrastructural improvements that will enable PEM to exhibit more internationally acclaimed art exhibitions as well as support the dynamic re-installation of the museum's vast collection in new and innovative ways. The final third of the museum's Advancement Campaign allocates $200 million toward the Ennead expansion, detailed above.
Once the Advancement Campaign is complete and the newly expanded museum opens in 2019, PEM will rank in the top 10 North American art museums in terms of gallery square footage, operating budget and endowment.
Founded in 1799, the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) presents outstanding works of artistic and cultural creativity in ways that transform people's lives. The museum's collection is among the finest of its kind, showcasing an unrivaled spectrum of American art and architecture as well as outstanding Asian, Asian export, Native American, African, Oceanic, maritime and photography collections. In addition to its vast holding, the museum offers a vibrant schedule of changing exhibitions and an interactive education center. The museum campus features numerous green spaces, period gardens and 22 historic properties, including Yin Yu Tang, a 200?year?old house that is the only example of Chinese domestic architecture on display in the United States.
HOURS: Open Tuesday-Sunday, 10 am-5 pm, and the third Thursday of every month, 10 am-9:30 pm. Closed Mondays (except holidays), Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
ADMISSION: Adults $15; seniors $13; students $11. Additional admission to Yin Yu Tang: $5. Members, youth 16 and under and residents of Salem enjoy free general admission and free admission to Yin Yu Tang.

Painting second floor exteroir
How do you guys paint the exteroir of your house when it's two stories? I was thinking of renting some staging and doing it but wanted to see what you guys do.
In the process of buying a home and was just curious
Ladders, lots of ladders.
Usually ladders, sometimes a boom lift, articulating lift and/or scissor lift.
I figured ladders would be best for portability but thought staging would be better for stability. I would rent a scissors lift but those are expensive seeing that I would take my time.
Do you guys just use extension ladders? Those are a little unstable I feel the higher you go. I don't want to spend too much on a setup seeing that I'll switch to vinyl siding in 5 or so years when I get settled in.
I would like pictures of setups!
It might just be me, but, ladders work best. Staging is great, don't get me wrong but with my inventory of ladders I can usually reach any part of a home and paint large chunks of siding without having to move the ladder(s) too much. I mean, at my age, I hate going up and going down over and over. Sometimes for large expanses I use ladder jacks and planking which is the poor man's staging. I guess it's what you can afford and what you feel comfortable doing. I feel right at home on ladders so they don't bother me. I simply get them situated on solid ground, do a test run up the rungs, and I'm good to go.
I've never once seen a painter using staging.
Ladders with stand offs, adjusable legs on the ladders, ladder jacks with walk board maybe.
May be cheaper and safer to just pay someone to paint the house for you if your that skidish on a ladder.
Could even have them just paint the top part.
Good safe ladders are not cheap.
I probably will be better off with renting the ladders.
A good question is: how do you paint behind the electrical Meter Pipe.
I am going to go with Joe's second post on this(:eek:). You would be better off hiring a painter to do the top part.
Yeah, the more I read the more that I agree with Joe and Chris. If you have any fear/doubts about ladders, climbing, and working up high, it's a recipe for DISASTER.

Major blunder, verging on catastrophe. I have missed out on tickets to the 3D post-festival screenings of Werner Herzog's Cave of Forgotten Dreams.
I can't believe I took my eye of the ball. The Herzog film is usually the first one I tick in any programme that contains one. I took a lot of stick for detesting Grizzly Man but he is such an old friend that I feel entitled to get angry with him from time to time.
I don't mean his literally a friend, of course. It's just that we've been knocking around together for more than 40 years now: he makes films and I watch them. We go back as far as Even Dwarves Started Small, I think (check out the trailer online and ask yourself how a film like that would go down these days) and we've only fallen out the once.
So I will have to wait for that one to return on general release - but if you've got a couple of tickets and can't use them, flick me an email.
Noon update: I now learn that the 10pm screening on Saturday July 30 has about 80 seats left, but I don't fancy my chances of staying awake for that, so my plaintive request stands.
I'm allowed to mention that it will do so now, because it's sold out. Normally I keep quiet about the ones that are coming back. This is at the festival's request and they have good reason for their coyness: they rely on good box office for popular titles, which will return, so that they can afford to take a hit on small-appeal and interesting minority product.
In the absence - for four years now - of a principal, naming-rights sponsor, the fest is more than ever in a precarious financial position.
It's a non-profit operation, as lean as a whippet in terms of expenses, and those few who annually criticise it for having too many commercial selections are misguided: if you check the programmes for Venice, Berlin, New York, Toronto and London, you will see that we are pretty well served.
As we enter the second week - not quite the half-way point - I'm far from saturated. I've been pacing myself.
I really enjoyed Footnote yesterday, although I thought the programme note's description of it as a comedy was a bit adrift. Maybe Israelis have a finer sense of how thin the line is between comedy and tragedy. (Comedy is when you miss out on tickets to Cave of Forgotten Dreams; tragedy is when I do).
Interestingly, it had an unresolved ending which seems to be one of the themes of the festival this year: Sleeping Sickness, The Kid With A Bike, A Separation, Take Shelter all stopped short of tying everything up.
I like it that way: for my money, the terrific Las Acacias would have been better with the final conversation foreshadowed but not taking place.
STREET THEATRE: As the closing credits rolled at the end of the second screening of Australian true crime drama Snowtown yesterday afternoon, the audience members, perhaps stunned by what they had seen, assumed that the siren they were hearing was on the film's soundtrack.
In fact it was an evacuation alarm so the post-screening Q&A with director Justin Kurzel and lead actor Dan Henshall became an informal chat with some of the film's admirers on the footpath.

And is it just me or doesn't Skip Bayless also come across looking like some sort of malnevolent Keebler Elf?
He reminds me of a bumper sticker:
" I am not useless. I can be used as a bad example."
Anybody who bothers to give him a second of their time has more than they need.
I do see the difference between Skip Bayless and someone whose opinion is worth a damn.
A lot of their hate comes from their disdain for Flacco. All I will say is that they will be proven wrong.
Skip purposely stirs the pot to get a rise out of folks.
30 post thread follows, complete with the outrage he seeks.
Skip wins again.
Exactly. Everytime someone takes him seriously or starts a thread complaining about him, it gives he and ESPN exactly what they want. Like someone said earlier in the thread, he is a professional troll. He's like a sports version of a radio shock jock. If you stop complaining about him and stop watching/reading him he'll eventually never be heard from again.
You do know he says all this to get ratings, and therefore money right?
It's probably not even his actual opinion.

Bans for U3 Multiplayer Ownage
The multiplayer on U3 is awesome.No doubt about it,but da only thing i hate about U3 is dat u get kicked out of da match wen u r dominating da match.its stupid.I mean,COME ON.y would ND do this?>

Re: Bans for U3 Multiplayer Ownage
Getting kicked out of the match usually happens from people "Dashboaring" (signing out then back in so you don't get bad stats)
It happens every once in awhile

I've played matches where almost everyone got removed from the match after the game selected a new host that was using some type of NAT (the host selection is a complete joke in this game).
You gotta get them NAT type 3, instantly kicks them other players and gives you a free win. Yes, something free in Uncharted 3... shocking.

Labor MP accused of improper conduct
State Political Reporter
Page Tools
Senior Labor MP Matt Viney was yesterday accused of improper conduct after he asked Planning Minister Mary Delahunty to fast-track a planning application for a development linked to a former ALP candidate.
The State Opposition accused Mr Viney of improper conduct after he told Parliament twice on Tuesday that he would seek Ms Delahunty's help in expediting a planning scheme amendment that had been put to the Frankston City Council by developers less than 24 hours earlier.
The developers, which include big companies Harvey Norman and Spotlight, want the "bulky goods" retail zone on a parcel of Frankston land to be extended by 60,000 square metres as part of a $100 million project.
Liberal MP Bruce Atkinson claimed in Parliament yesterday that Mr Viney's request for Ms Delahunty to fast-track the planning process was significant because the real estate firm involved in the land deal was owned by former Labor candidate Rogan Ward.
"There has been an attempt to circumvent proper process," Mr Atkinson said. "The circumstances in which people do deals with mates are simply not to be tolerated in the planning scheme."
Mr Ward is a shareholder, director and company secretary of Commercial Property Services. The company did not return calls to The Age yesterday.
Mr Atkinson said Mr Viney should not have requested anything of Ms Delahunty until the council had considered the amendment and the proposal had been on public display.
The council confirmed last night that it expected it to take six months before it could pass on the planning application to the Department of Sustainability and Environment for final approval.
But Mr Viney, parliamentary secretary for innovation and industry, said yesterday the proper planning process should be applied to the development. "By expedite I meant that there be no undue delays," he said.
Mr Ward and Mr Viney featured in a 2002 Legislative Council inquiry into the leaking of confidential information during the tender process for the $100 million redevelopment of Frankston's central business district. Both were cleared of any wrongdoing.
A Government-commissioned investigator found in 2002 that Mark Conroy, a former Frankston mayor and federal Labor candidate, provided commercial information to Mr Viney and Mr Ward about tenders by firms Grocon and Gandel.

Where Home is First and Foremost on the Mind
Just can't bring yourself to throw out your old reading glasses case, those decorative bobby pins, or the last bit in the aerosol can of cooking spray? Glad to hear it, because they all can be used for something other than what you purchased them to do. You can repurpose them, and pat yourself on the back for not having ditched them awhile back.
Take that hard cover reading glass case and make it into your personal manicure kit. The makers of nail files, clippers, and cuticle sticks usually produce them in compact sizes which fit well into the cases. And though I have used a great many things to hold my place in a good book, the whimsical hair pins that I have been told are no longer stylish make me smile when used as bookmarks. I was feeling all to guilty about letting go of the adorable butterfly and flower bud pins, and am really relieved about not having to do so.
The cooking spray, when sprayed lightly over your freshly polished finger nails, or toe nails will lock it in place. It creates a smudge resistant barrier, and cuts down on the amount of time you have to refrain from movement or activity.
A love for ones home can exist on many different levels. To ensure that you home is one that you adore so much that you actually crave it, proper design and decorating decisions must be made. There are many layers involved, and much love incorporated. But the outcome is a place that everyone is drawn to, and one that feels just right.

OSHA revises enforcement policies for fall protection during steel erection
WASHINGTON - The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently revised the steel erection compliance directive for the agency's Steel Erection Standard to change two enforcement policies related to tripping hazards and installation of nets or floors during steel erection.
One of the revised policies addresses the standard's requirement that employers install a floor or net within two stories or 30 feet, whichever is less.
The other policy states that employers must comply with the requirement that steel studs, known as shear connectors, be installed at the worksite. Shear connectors bind concrete to the steel.
"Falls are the leading cause of death among construction workers," said acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Jordan Barab. "We are intent on reducing the number of injuries and fatalities in the construction industry and believe these policy revisions will help us attain that goal."
Bureau of Labor Statistics 2007 data show that 1,204 fatalities occurred in the construction industry, 447 of which resulted from falls. The steel erection standard sets forth requirements to protect workers from the hazards associated with steel erection activities when constructing, altering, and repairing single and multi-story buildings, bridges, and other structures where steel erection occurs.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, OSHA's role is to promote safe and healthful working conditions for America's men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, outreach and education. For additional information or more detail, please visit www.osha.gov.

Jones fires in Scott's wake to score US tour spot
Page Tools
While most the golf world's eyes have been on the US PGA Tour, Australian Brendan Jones has been cutting a dash in Japan, writes Peter Stone.
As Adam Scott was catching yet another big wave at the weekend on the US PGA Tour, fellow Australian Brendan Jones was revelling again in the smaller stuff with his second win for the year in Japan and his third worldwide in the past three months.
The 29-year-old Jones is much the forgotten Australian but his achievements now span the Pacific, leading the money list in Japan with earnings of about $630,000 and also the US secondary Nationwide Tour with $420,000. In the US, he is now ensured a graduation card to the main tour next year and, in Japan, is exempt until the end of 2007.
Yet, no prizes for guessing where he is going. No one rejects the chance to win almost $US1million ($1.4m ) a week for 46 or so weeks of the year and Jones, who always resisted going to the end-of-the year US Tour players' school, comfortable with his lot in Japan for four years, has now become an accidental American tourist.
Jones is bewildered by it all. A week after returning to Japan after a month-long stint in the US, where he won the La Salle Bank Open on the Nationwide Tour and qualified for the US Open, he won the Mizuno Open which followed his earlier win in the Tsuruya Open. "I don't know why it's happening but I don't mind if I don't come up with an answer to it," he said by phone yesterday from Japan, where he is preparing for that circuit's second major of the year before going to Britain to prepare for the British Open.
"I got married just before Christmas and everything since then has just about turned into gold. I'm not into psychology or anything like that but it is all from Alex Mercer [Sydney swing guru who also coaches Steve Elkington]. Alex is a golf coach but he is far more than that. He's a great motivator. He's helped me more than I can really say."
It was early in the morning when the Herald spoke with Jones. The call woke him, pre-arranged as an early morning wake-up call to make the AM pro-am. We suggested one shot at Horizons in the $1.75m ANZ Championship in late February might well have been the catalyst for all that followed. Jones was oblivion-bound in the modified stableford event, starting with a 75 for minus three points. Then, he began his second round with bogey, bogey, double-bogey which equated to five further points in the negative. But he fought back to the point where, on his last hole - the par-five 9th - he needed an eagle, worth five points, to make the cut.
Self belief is thy second name, Brendan Jones. He was in the greenside bunker for two and needed to hole the explosion for the five points. "You thought you were going to have the weekend off didn't you? Just watch this," Jones said to his caddie. The shot was holed and he stayed for the weekend and, with rounds of 65-67, finished tied 17th. "The shot changed the course of everything," Jones recalled. "I'd just missed the cut in the Heineken Classic so my confidence wasn't very high. I've played great ever since."
True. The following fortnight he was second in the two Australasian Nationwide Tour events - in Adelaide and Christchurch - and then he took his plundering ways to Japan and the US.
"It's all happened too fast," Jones said. "I'm quite happy playing in Japan but if you get on the PGA Tour, you don't pass it up."
Damn it, though. Only now is he getting accustomed to the food and culture of Japan, plus he could duck back to Australia every three weeks or so for a sabbatical and to watch the Raiders in Canberra, where he now lives. And, his identity crisis with the other B. Jones was a thing of the past.
Three years ago, Brian Jones, now playing the European Seniors Tour but a regular on the Japanese Tour before that, received a call from Tokyo. Would he kindly return the money which had been deposited in his bank account? It belonged to Brendan Jones (Australia).
"At the weekend, a friend of mine who speaks Japanese was watching the telecast here," Brendan Jones said. "He said the commentators were talking about how hard it is for foreigners to be accepted here but that I was pretty close to being accepted. I take that as a great compliment."
The Japan Golf Tour is still pretty much secret men's business in the West. Not a news agency line appeared after Jones's weekend win - not until friends told friends in Australia that the man who hits the ball 300-metres-plus had won again.
Now, despite his earlier reluctance, he is warming to the idea of playing in the US.
"My last few weeks over there, I found there is so much [more] to do than there is in Japan," he said. "Japan is good but there are a lot of times when you're quite bored. If you don't read books, or do other things on your own, it can get quite lonely . . . You can't even go to the boozer to have a couple of beers. It's more difficult to do that in Japan than anywhere else."
So, Jones's life is about to change, has changed.
Next is the British Open at Royal Troon. Links golf is not second nature to him but he knows from talking with Mercer you don't try those flop wedge shots; rather, you keep the ball on the ground. Pitch and run. He'll begin his preparations at Troon some days before the start.

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson will give his pre-match view and you can get his post-match verdict in our Talking Tactics feature on Arsenal Player.
Arsène Wenger and his side travel to the DW Stadium to face Wigan Athletic in the Premier League on Saturday so, to find out more, we also asked journalist Paul Kendrick for his thoughts and analysis.
"Roberto Martinez has continually changed his team from week to week but of those who started last week, the pace of Moses is the biggest threat to Arsenal.
"It is widely accepted that the Wigan boss is a good coach but his team lack cohesion at the back and a lack of guile in their attacking play. If WIgan are to survive they will need to have a more structured game plan.
"They normally play 4-5-1, that's the way Roberto Martinez has always played. In the last couple of games he's changed it slightly to put an extra man in midfield with three defenders - sometimes there's as many as six in midfield with just the one up front.
"He's just started to tinker with the formation and we're undefeated in the last two, so I'd imagine he'll carry on with that at the weekend.
"When Wigan haven't got the ball the back three becomes a back five and when they do you see Ronnie Stam and David Jones pushing forward. They'll probably try and pack the midfield, try and dominate there and get forward at every opportunity.
"The last couple of games have been quite good. They conceded three goals against Blackburn but after that one inside the first minute there was another freak goal from a corner. The other was a last-minute penalty.
"Against Sunderland there was a slight error from a goalkeeping perspective but other than that they've been quite tight. That's more surprising when you consider than Antolin Alcaraz has been suspended for two games, which we did think was going to be a big miss.
"Obviously Arsenal were struggling at the beginning of the season but in recent weeks it looks like they've picked up and they look as formidable as ever. I don't think it's necessarily a case of exploiting any perceived weaknesses, I don't think there's too many in that Arsenal team.
"I think for Wigan they will just try and do what they always have done against Arsenal. They'll concentrate on what they do well, try and get Victor Moses on the ball and pack the midfield to get James McCarthy and Mohamed Diame involved and support the strikers.
"Martinez made five changes for the Blackburn game and really shook things up. McCarthy, up to that point, hadn't had a great season and has found himself on the bench fairly often. But in the last couple of games he's been really good, back to his best. He'll be a key man if Wigan are to do anything this weekend.
"I think after two games unbeaten, Wigan will just try and keep it going. I don't think you'll find any WIgan fans who wouldn't take a point, but as you saw two years ago with the 3-2 victory, anything's possible."

Michael Sam was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the seventh round of the National Football League draft, making the former University of Missouri defensive end the first openly gay player in the most-watched U.S. sports league.
The Southeastern Conference's Co-Defensive Player of the Year revealed in February that he's gay, making public what he'd told teammates before last season. Sam's disclosure came two weeks before veteran Jason Collins, the first openly gay active player in any of the four main North American sports leagues, signed with the National Basketball Association's Brooklyn Nets.
Bob Witeck, a gay-marketing strategist and corporate consultant, has said Sam could earn millions in endorsements and speaking engagements from companies seeking to capture more of the buying power of an adult U.S. lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population that he pegged at $830 billion last year.
Sam, 24, tied a school-record with 11 1/2 quarterback sacks during his senior season at Missouri and totaled 21 sacks in 52 college games.
His agent, Cameron Weiss, said the 6-foot-2, 255-pound (116-kilogram) football player has received dozens of endorsement offers, according to ESPN.
On May 8 he signed his first sponsorship deal -- with Visa Inc., the world's biggest bank-card network.
249th Pick
Sam was the 249th selection out of 256 in the seven-round draft that concluded yesterday. He had been projected by ESPN's Scouts Inc. as a sixth-round pick. Nate Silver's fivethirtyeight.com site said a historical assessment of players with similar scouting projections had a 50 percent chance of being selected.
Sam, who worked out at both linebacker and defensive end during Senior Bowl practices in January, ran his 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in 4.91 seconds. That ranked in the lower half of defensive ends, 0.38 seconds behind No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, and would have been the second slowest time for an outside linebacker.
"Going into the combine I thought Michael Sam was a man w/out a position," former Dallas Cowboys executive and NFL.com analyst Gil Brandt said on Twitter. "His 4.91 today might have confirmed it."
Sam's 17 reps in the bench press were the second-fewest among defensive ends -- only UCLA's Cassius Marsh had fewer with 14 -- and his 25.50-inch vertical leap and 7.8-second performance in the three-cone drill, which tests agility and quickness, were both slowest at the position.

I 'd always thought of Salzburg as a somewhat hyperglycaemic destination - all baroque churches, cakes and sugar-covered mountains. Indeed, the phrase "chocolate box" is regularly applied to the northern Austrian city, the jewel of Teutonic tourism.
But Salzburg owes its existence to another white powder, salt - hence the name. It has more flavour than its prettiness suggests, with masses of historical intrigue and a remarkable location.
We checked in to our warm hotel, and left for a bummel (stroll) over the fast-flowing river Salzach that divides the old town from the new. Touristy? Undoubtedly. Every other shop seemed to have a cardboard cut-out of Mozart advertising chocolates. We elbowed through them towards the interlinked platzs that are the soft centres of Salzburg's treats. Small wonder that this set-piece was made a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1996.
The city took shape when Salzburg's ruler, Archbishop Wolfgang Dietrich, commissioned Vincenzo Scamozzi, a student of Palladio, to build the city anew. He crystalised it as a Baroque city, all twisted statues and curvaceous churches. We paused in Residenz-platz and heard the chimes on the archbishop's palace play Papageno's song from local boy Mozart's The Magic Flute. Sweet, and irresistible. And the ice rink at nearby Mozart platz was, if you will, the icing on the cake.
Cake: now there's a thought never far from a Salzburger's mind. "Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudels" were a few of Maria von Trapp's favourite things, and there are several gemutlichkeit cafes in which one can while away glutinous afternoons on torte, strudel and a glass of sparkling Sekt. On Geissegasse, once Salzburg's artisan's street, we went to the Blaue Gans restaurant to try the emblematic Salzburger Nockerl, a sweet meringue made to resemble a mountain range.
After this toothsome experience, we walked through Universitats-platz, with its market stalls offering pretzels, souvenirs and chocolates. On the square's south side is the back of Mozart's house, one of two in Salzburg where he lived. In this lovely apartment with wide floorboards, green stoves and decorative ceilings, I looked through the talismanic exhibits: Mozart's wallet, his tobacco case (a smoker!), and his snuff box (a snorter!) ... Here, too, was the young Mozart's violin hanging in a glass case.
In search of sustenance, we walked up to the Augustinian brau, a beer hall so huge that you could park a Zeppelin in it, where we were rewarded with bladder-swelling two-litre ceramic jugs of beer.
The next day I met up with Heidi Hochrieser, a Salzburg city guide, to dig for the salt beneath Salzburg's sugar. She took me to the Cemetery St Sebastian, where Mozart's wife Constance was buried along with the composer's father Leopold: a monumental gaffe because Leopold didn't like her. At the centre of the cemetery was Dietrich's baroque mausoleum, and in a cloister the tomb of Paracelsus, the Salzburgian founder of modern medicine, whose legend vows that his bones would be "again clad in flesh".
On Sunday night, we returned to St Peter's to try its fun Mozart dinner concert, where costumed singers belted out arias between courses. For many, however, Salzburg is less Marriage Of Figaro than marriage of Baron Von Trapp and Maria.
The Sound Of Music, 40 years old this year, attracts countless visitors to see its locations, and there's a thriving tour, going out of town to cute places such as Mondsee and St Gilgen. The musical is disliked by many Salzburgers. "It's a fantastic advertisement," said Heidi. "But it's not popular here because it shows us in an artificial way." Many tourists, she said, even believe Edelweiss to be the Austrian national anthem, and some irritate natives by asking directions to the film's locations. "Don't, whatever you do, ask the locals for the 'Do Re Mi' bridge," warned Sue Brown, who hosts the Sound Of Music tour. "It's the Mozart Bridge. They get very annoyed."
Around the streets, marble plaques bore poetry by the city's flawed bard, George Trakl. "He was ugly, he had sex with his sister, he took masses of drugs, and he committed suicide," said Heidi. "But he wrote beautiful poetry."
Trakl had a pharmacy on Linzer Gasse, now the main road of new Salzburg. From this pedestrianised thoroughfare, it is a short walk to the city's most atmospheric street, the narrow, cobbled Steingasse, which lies at the foot of the rocky bluff below the Capuchin monastery.
In the breaks between houses on the Steingasse, one can take in a wonderful panorama of old Salzburg; the white Hohensalzburg fortress to one side, the rectangular Museum of Modern Art to the other, and the Dom, or cathedral, in between.
This is a city of views; the compulsory three being the fortress, the terrace bar at the Hotel Stein, and the Monschberg mountain, host to the Museum of Modern Art. The Monschberg is but a pimple compared to the real Alps, a matter of minutes away. We went on the Snow Shuttle bus to the Leogang-Saalbach wintersports resort so that our four-year-old son Bruno could try skiing. Apart from admiring the Rudolf the Reindeer skis, he couldn't quite get the hang of it. "Under five, you can't tell which way they're going to go," said his instructor Bernd Cernin, whose marvellous mountain-side manner could not be faulted.
After a morning on the nursery slopes we climbed by cable car to the 1,800m-high summit, to have lunch in the jolly Die Alte Schmeide restaurant. We gazed at the panorama through shielded eyes. "I can see the whole wide world," said Bruno. And it looked just like a huge Salzburger Nockerl.

Seeping ARP head studs SBC
Hello guys I have somewhat a minor issue or maybe will turn into something big but either way I have some head studs seeping out some antifreeze on my passenger side of my small block chevy and the driver side seems to be ok as I wiped the stud ends and they were all dry but I have one stud that you can see the antifreeze laying underneath the stud nut itself but does not gush out or anything and maybe a few others that are seeping but don't seem to be as bad.
This engine was taken out of my truck earlier this year and I put a set of aluminum heads on it and I don't know what was used on the studs but my father was the one who put it together as I was recovering still from cancer treatments at the time. The block was completely cleaned and all threads were chased and checked before the studs were put in and I am guessing he used Teflon tape to put on the threads on the studs.
We used Teflon sealer paste before but the studs leaked everywhere and he never liked to use that stuff for head bolts or head studs but that is what I got but it did not seal hardly at all so had to pull the whole motor out take off heads and reclean everything and used Teflon tape as its been used for years with no issue on his many builds he has done and even put indian head on the bolts as well just to keep things sealed and it worked like a charm just fine.
Have since changed heads like I said and from what I have read sometimes its a hit or miss with the arp studs leaking regardless of what way you seal them with Teflon tape Teflon paste or permatex no 2 etc. My Father I know would not have time to pull this thing out and its been apart so many times cause of this issue or that issue cause of dumb luck with stuff I hate to have to pull it out for like the 6th time in 5 years just for like 4 seeping studs.
The other ones are back at the number 8 cylinder and would be very hard to get too. So my question is any suggestions on what I could do? Some of my studs have to be double nutted to get them out as the allen part stripped out. Can I use a bottle of bars leak engline sealant and is it safe to use?
As far as trying to take the one stud out then try to seal it up again that would be a task and a half as I know the threads have to be squeaky clean and with out really tearing the motor down there is really no way to be able to do that from what I can think of.
Tough situation, and I can't tell you a cheap easy fix. I personally hate all stop leak type sealers, as they are temporary, and plug up radiators, and cooling systems. I'm afraid the best solution is also the one you'll like the least, and that's to pull the heads and re-seal all the studs with a good quality thread sealer. My personal preference is Loctite 567. I've only had one issue with a stud in aluminum heads even slightly seeping with 567, and a retorque after the intitial run stopped that.
Which brings up a question and possible solution. Do you know if the heads were torqued in stages? I generally toque aluminum heads in three stages, so if torque is 60 lbs. I do 20-40-60 lbs in the correct pattern. I then let the engine sit overnight, and come back the 2nd day and check the final setting once more. You might consider trying to go over the torque pattern again and see if that stops the leaks.

techinspector1 (11-05-2013)
I've used GM seal tabs, they work fine and never caused any of the problems 71's experienced.
No, as I said, I've only had one experience with seeping. And I don't repeat internet hype.
Yes the heads were properly torqued in stages as anyone building engines should know stuff like that but I don't have the ability to pull the engine yet for the 6th time to fix another minor issue but I know I can not leave it like this. I am not a fan of block sealer but I have read about the gm tablets but I don't know where to get them as I would like to try that first before the last option of pulling the engine. My gosh this poor motor has been pulled so many times for just stupid things such as part failure and issues with cylinder heads from machine shop stuff but that's another story. I am about half scared to take it apart again as I know threads get weak over time an I don't want to helicoil all my head bolt holes in the block.
Cracked head? hmmm
That's bolts, studs are different because you not only want to seal their threads in the block but you don't want them turning with the nut as you pull torque because stud sealers tend to be RTV, Permatex #2, or epoxy. These are things that do not flow to refill gaps that form if the stud turns with the nut. There is no way to absolutely guaranty that the stud won't turn enough to break the thread seal as usually the head is not promptly installed so the sealer will have time to cure before torque is applied so any movement of the stud greater than the elasticity of the sealer to move with will open a route through the sealer for coolant. My method of sealer application for studs is the same as bolts in that it goes on the female threads as well so there remains a reservoir of sealer to fill the threads as the stud is screwed in. If I use epoxy I pull torque as soon as the stud is at the proper installation length by using a silicon grease coated washer on the bottom at the head deck, a length of pipe for the stud body then a top washer and the nut. Then holding the stud from turning with an Allen in its end, I pull it to torque with a crowfoot wrench. This latter technique of using an Allen wrench to keep the stud from turning while torquing is also used when the head is set down even with pliable sealants to keep the stud from turning. You will find it necessary to purchase a set of offset sockets to do this, example <<< S9723, Socket, Spark Plug, Offset, 5/8", 12-point >>>.
I would not recommend using studs unless this is a competition engine that needs to accommodate teardowns in the pits, or suffers some other predominate need like for high blower pressures, or aluminum blocks simply because these studs demand better assembly techniques than bolts so if they aren't needed for some extraordinary condition I don't use them. Keep in mind that studs epoxyed into the block not come out with the Allen wrench. These are sacrificial studs as youll most likely have to unscrew them with Vise-Grips.
Well sorry to say its to late to go with bolts but any future rebuilds I will swap back over to arp head bolts and not studs. I got some bars leak tablets too put in the system and hopefully it will work. They are the same thing as what GM calls seal tablets so hopefully it will do the trick as I have read it has worked for folks in the past. As far as I know everything possible was done to make sure the studs would not leak and I got only about two or three leaking. So I am going to try this route and if that does not work then I will just have to keep tabs on things and coolant level and then if I have a chance next spring when its warmer out and with cash saved up I can then proceed to tear the darn thing down for yet again another time.

I know there are a couple web sites that sell 4th row seating, but they are fairly expensive. I'd like to get something from a salvage yard and install it in the cargo area of my rig. I've done a fair amount of googling and I've found very little on this subject. Does anyone have any experience with taking a 2nd or 3rd row seat out of a wreck and installing it as a 4th row in a Suburban? Any other experience with installing 4th rows in Suburbans, or 3rd rows in a Tahoe? Thanks!

Git Tip: Reviewing and Committing a branch full of changes
Pascal Rapicault, DJ Houghton and I have been hacking on a new feature for p2. Since p2 has been migrated to Git, we created a new branch and started hacking away. We were not very concerned about each individual commit since this work was mostly experimental. We took some wrong turns, performed a few quick and dirty hacks, and generally left our branch in rough shape. However, during the process we learned a lot and finally got feature working, but we certainly didn't want to merge this hack into master.
If 15 years of software engineering has taught me anything, it's that you should not be afraid to hack, learn, throw away and then implement properly. Git makes this so much easier. Here's what we did.
To review, clean-up and commit this feature, we started by switching to our new branch and we squashed all the commits into a single commit. We did this because we didn't care about the individual commits that made up this feature. (Note: Don't do this on a production (shared) branch since this will re-write your history).
To squash commits, use interactive rebase.
Once we had a single commit that represented the feature, we rebased on top of master and merged the feature to the master branch. Now, we could stop here but this included all the hacks, false starts and ugly code that we don't want in our final repository. We used a little trick that Chris Aniszczyk mentioned to me. We reset the git index, but left the files in their updated state (read more about the Git index on Alex Blewitt Git Tip of the Week). This is done using a soft reset. Make sure you don't reset your index if you have already pushed your changes to a remote repository.
This essentially returns you to a state where all the files have out-going changes that represent the work we did. Now we could use git diff (or better yet, the s synchronized view in Eclipse) to review the commit, clean up the code, remove the unwanted changes, test our feature and finally, commit the feature properly (using a proper commit comment to indicate exactly what we did).
5 Responses to "Git Tip: Reviewing and Committing a branch full of changes"
Once you have a single commit, why can't you simply keep 'ammending' that commit in the non-master branch to remove all the hacks. Once you have a 'good single commit' you can them simply merge/rebase changes with master and push. (EGit history view allows you to compare HEADs of 2 branches, just like you would view outgoing changes in CVS).
Or did I miss something here ?
Ok, it is a matter of habit then. I try to avoid doing a 'reset' as I might accidentally reset too much :)
Another solution would be to create a diff/patch between the start and end of the experimental branch and apply that to master.
Advantages: Doesn't need any advanced commands, doesn't tamper with history, more clearly communicates intent.
Drawback: Doesn't tamper with history so anyone can see how you messed up (but that's mostly a pride thing).
You can use the "ammend" feature only when you are working alone on the branch. But even then you lose the option of reverting/removing only parts of your changes, and not all …
So I am all for using commit commit commit, and before rebasing in master, if the history is irelevant, squash everything.

Citrus scents are impossibly fresh, but they also have a habit of going missing after a few hours. Until now, that is. This concentrated, distinctive blend lasts much longer than traditional citrus scents. Orange Sanguine is meant to recreate a moment in time, and mimics the blissful feeling of sitting on an oceanfront terrace, with groves of orange trees off in the distance. The joyful scent has top notes of blood orange and bitter orange, a middle transition with jasmine and geranium, and a base of amber woods, tonka beans, and sandalwood.

Merlinos' Belvedere closing its doors at end of month
Saying goodbye
FREMONT COUNTY, Colo - Nearly seven decades of family tradition are about to enter a final chapter. Merlinos' Belvedere in Canon City is closing at the end of the month. Owners, Michael Merlino and his wife Cathie had to deal with escalating equipment maintenance costs and the fallout from the Royal Gorge fire and the lack of tourism.
Michael Merlino says it's an emotional moment to say goodbye to a business that he and his family have owned for nearly 70 years, "The void is going to be horrendous. I'm sure there will be tears. I'm glad I have a great wife. She'll be able to grab a hold of me and we can cry together and fill that void."
Merlino says he is now concerned about other business owners in Fremont County since it's going to take until August of next year to full reopen the Royal Gorge for tourism, "I'm out of it now. It doesn't matter to me, but they tell us all these service businesses in Fremont County won't have the Royal Gorge for tourism. I think that's a travesty."
Michael Merlino says he doesn't know what's next for his family but he is sure of this, "It's the beginning of something that God will decide for us. I truly believe he has a plan."

Chris James is claiming that nightclub promoter Luke Scrase is only dating Ashleigh Hughes to win over the public and pocket the £100,000 prize.
Chris, a 21 year-old bailiff, was the second person to be evicted from the Channel 5 reality shows. He suspects that "Luke is playing the nice guy so he doesn't get nominated and it's fake. He'll do whatever it takes to win. He's got into a relationship with Ashleigh Hughes but it's not real. Quite a few housemates think it's fake".
"He could hurt her feelings by doing it because she likes him. I think they will end up having big arguments."
Luton-born Chris has also admitted he is hurt and "offended" to discover that his housemates found him loud and aggressive when he was drinking.
He confessed: "To hear people calling me aggressive is very upsetting. I'm offended by it, to be honest.
"People are always quick to judge me and call me aggressive because of my job. I wish I hadn't come across that way on the show."
The former housemate, who repeatedly launched into drunken rants at fellow contestants including popular wildcard Becky Hannon, wishes he had taken his mother's advice about staying sober.
He added: "My mum told me not to drink in the house because when I drink I get into arguments. After the first row I decided not to drink any more. I wish I'd done what I was told and avoided it completely."

Where I am at, the working dog kennels on base use this type of dog cot in their indoor/outdoor kennel runs - www.dog They're very stable, can be used indoors and outdoors, and come in a wide variety of choices. They're very easy to clean, too, just rinse off with a hose.
I don't have an outdoor dog bed at my place, but I use a crate / kennel mat in my crate. The mat I use is actually designed to go into an outdoor dog house. It's egg-crate foam on the inside and waterproof vinyl on the outside. Very easy to clean - hose it off with water - and the only crate mat I've found that my dog doesn't manage to squish into a corner of her crate.

Go to Primopads.com and get one from them. I have a Doberman that used to destroy everything I bought in regards to bedding. I even tried lining his crate with those locking mats and he would chew them up. However, I went and got a Primo Pad at a local dog show and am in love with it. When he gets sick to his stomache all I have to do is wipe it down with a disenfectant or spray it down with a water hose and wipe it dry. Its waterproof, tear proof and guaranteed or your money back. I promise it will be the last time you have to buy another bed.

Sometimes dogs can be picky about dog beds, but I found one that has good reviews and looks like a winner. You can find a picture of it on my blog on dogsbed.whirlwindz.com
Good luck

I found a site called dogcheapsleeps.com that sells vinyl waterproof dog bed and pad covers. They will custom size the cover very inexpensively.

if you have the space for it a baby's crib mattress is a good choice. They are cheaper than most large dog beds, more supportive, and because they have a vinyl outer layer they are waterproof and can be wiped off easily to clean.
