Have questions about the changes to your PBA membership? The FAQs below should answer them. If you have more, please contact the membership team at 800.468.2274 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
What are the new levels of membership?
There are now three primary types:
What are the differences in each level of membership?
I am a current PBA member. How will my membership change?
If you are a member in the Beauty Professional/NCA section you will now enjoy lower annual dues ($50 versus $115) and 50% savings on most event tickets, education and other products and services offered by PBA. In addition, members that have supported the association for 50 or more consecutive years are eligible to participate in our Lifetime Membership Program and will receive a free membership each year.
Business members - Manufacturers, Distributors, Salon/Spas/Schools and Associates — will experience the following changes:
What is the Primary Contact?
The Primary Contact for the membership is the person that manages the membership record for the member company. The Primary Contact for the member company is responsible for identifying the company's Benefit Recipients and has the ability to vote for, and be elected to serve on, the Advisory Council for the membership section that the Business has identified as their primary role in the industry.
What is the difference between Primary Affiliation and Primary Contact?
The Primary Contact for the membership is the person that manages the membership record for the member company and the person responsible for identifying the company's Benefit Recipients. Each Business Member only has one Primary Contact.
Individual Members can identify a Business which is their Primary Affiliation, the company in which they are most commonly associated with. An Individual Member will only have one Primary Affiliation, but a Business may have many Individual Members that have identified the Business as their Primary Affiliation.
What is a Benefit Recipient?
An employee that is tied to the company's member record - and is identified as an individual that receives member benefits - is known as a Benefit Recipient.
If I am designated as the Primary Contact for a Business membership, how do I add Benefit Recipients to the membership?
Click here to learn more about managing Benefit Recipients.
Can Benefit Recipients be added or changed at any time?
Benefit Recipients can be modified within the first 30-days of the membership term. After the initial 30-days, individuals can be added as Benefit Recipients if the company has available openings, but previously identified Benefit Recipients cannot be changed or removed from the membership. Member companies can elect to upgrade their membership mid-term to increase their number of Benefit Recipients. If a company proceeds in this manner PBA will prorate the initial membership investment accordingly.
Does my membership belong to me, or to the organization where I work?
An Individual membership provides full benefits to one person.
It depends on the type of membership that you activate. An Individual membership provides full benefits to one person.
If you join as a Business member the membership belongs to the organization or company. If a Benefit Recipient leaves the company, the member organization may identify a new Benefit Recipient at their next renewal period.
Does my membership stay with me if I switch organizations?
If you join as an Individual member your membership goes with you if you switch employers. Business memberships are the property of the member company.
How much does a membership cost?
Annual memberships are:
Business memberships have 5 different investment levels depending upon the number of employees a company wants to extend benefits to. An employee that is tied to the company's member record and is identified as an individual that receives member benefits is known as a Benefit Recipient..
$175 for 1-3 Benefit Recipients
$500 for 4-15 Benefit Recipients
$1,500 for 16-35 Benefit Recipients
$5,000 for 36-50 Benefit Recipients
$10,000 for an unlimited number of Benefit Recipients and additional corporate branding opportunities
When does this change begin?
PBA will begin transitioning to this new membership model in October 2014.
Why is PBA making this change?
Our goal is simplification and inclusion. The new membership structure is based on value, engagement and choice rather than your company's specialty or the amount of revenue it earns, as it has been in the past. This is the first time PBA has changed its membership structure since it was launched in 2002.
I purchased a multi-year PBA membership. How will this change impact me?
Memberships that expire on January 31, 2015 and beyond will automatically transition into the new membership structure as of January 1, 2015. Members will be granted additional months of membership to compensate for the change in member dues and access to benefits. You can view the Member Modification Extension Chart HERE.
If I join as a Business, why do you still ask for my section preference?
Sections continue to drive governance for the association, so it is critical that you correctly indicate your primary role in the industry when you join the association or renew your membership. The section you identify as your primary role (Manufacturer, Distributor, Salon/Spa or Associate) allows you the ability to apply for leadership opportunities and vote for Advisory Council candidates in that section.
What is the Lifetime Membership Program?
The Lifetime Membership Program recognizes and rewards individual members that have retained their membership and supported the association for 50 or more consecutive years. lifetime members receive a complimentary membership each year and be inducted into the Lifetime Membership Program.
In the previous membership model I received complimentary tickets to the IBS and IECSC shows. Has that benefit changed?
Yes, the admission benefit to the IBS and IECSC shows has changed. Under the new PBA membership model, members now enjoy a 50% discount on admission to the shows. Here is a quick cost comparison of the old and new membership model:
Old Model: member pays $115 for membership and $15 per day processing fee to attend IBS/IECSC New York.
Total Investment: $145 to attend 2 days
New Model: member pays $50 for membership and $64 for a two-day pass to the show (if ticket is purchased before January 5, 2015)
Total Investment: $114 to attend 2 days
How long does my membership last?
Membership terms are managed on an annual basis. If your application is processed between the 1st and the 15th of the month your membership term will expire on the last date of the previous month. (Example: your application is processed on April 15th, 2015 your membership term will expire on March 31, 2016) If your application is processed between the 16th and 31st of the month your membership term will expire on the last day of the month in which you are joining. (Example: your application is processed on April 16th, 2015 your membership term will expire on April 30, 2016)
Are my PBA membership dues tax-deductible?
Dues paid to PBA are not considered charitable contributions for federal tax purposes. However, they may be deducted as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Members should consult their tax advisors for further guidance. Note that a charitable gift to a PBA Foundation charity made at the time of renewal (a gift separate from and in addition to your membership dues) is tax deductible.
Can I submit an application to join PBA online?
Yes, you may join PBA online or download an application to fax or mailing to PBA.
What is my PBA member number?
Your PBA member number is printed on your PBA membership invoice and on your PBA membership card. If you need assistance locating your member number, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 800.468.2274 and ask to speak with the PBA Membership Team.
How do I change my contact information with PBA?
Members may submit changes to email@example.com or call 800.468.2274.
As a new member, when will I receive my PBA membership card?
You will receive your membership card within 10-14 business days of joining the association.
What is an anniversary membership?
Your membership is based on the day you joined the association. Members are invoiced for renewals for the full dues amount on the anniversary date of the day you joined PBA.
If my membership has lapsed, how can I reactivate it?
If your membership term has lapsed you may reinstate it by renewing online at probeauty.org/join or by contacting the PBA Membership Team at 800.468.2274. If the lapse has been longer than 60 days after your expiration date your membership will be reinstated with a new original join date.
How do I get a receipt for my PBA dues?
Please contact the PBA Membership Team at 800.468.2274 or by email at email@example.com to request a receipt for PBA annual dues payments.
How do I sign up for the PBA email list?
Join the PBA contact list HERE.
What are the benefits of becoming a member?
View the new benefits structure and offer above in Membership Options for Every Stage of Your Career.
What publications are included with my membership?
Individual members receive American Salon Magazine. Benefit Recipients of Business members receive American Salon, The Colorist, DAYSPA, Launchpad, and Salon Today.
What should I do if Im not receiving any of my publications?
Please contact the PBA Membership Team at 800.468.2274 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I asked what it was, and he claimed that he had a "Duramax," I looked outside, and saw his truck and told him that couldnt' be the one he was talking about. He confirmed that it was in fact the one he was trying to sell... I told him that the 98's weren't Duramax. They came with the 6.5, until 00, and then they started with the Duramax for the 01's and up models. He then asked why he had Duramax badges all over his truck, and I replied with "I can slap some badges on my 5.7 and call it a duramax, but its still a Vortec 350" He then brought in a plastic cover from under the hood and told me to read it. Of course it said "6.5L" and I asked what that proved.. He said that was what proved it was infact a 'max. I told him he was wrong, that they were 6.6L. Well, the conversation continued and got pretty heated, a couple of my friends were at my work, listening in the background. They guy swore up and down that I was wrong and he has a Duramax. On his way out, my friend tried telling him the same thing.. He swears we're both wrong.. Soooo. How accurate was I? I don't know too much about the 'maxes, but I thought I knew enough.. Was I wrong?

BUSINESS and union leaders are against it, Chancellor Alistair Darling has branded it "ridiculous" and the people who would be expected to collect it say it's "pie in the sky".
But the SNP is pressing ahead with its plans for a local income tax to replace the council tax – and this week John Swinney signalled key concessions in a bid to win more support for the flagship policy.
The Finance Secretary's shift of position increases the prospects of bringing the Liberal Democrats on board for the scheme and so takes the Nationalists closer to securing the majority in parliament they need to get it passed.
But there are still big holes in the policy and serious doubts about whether it will ever come about.
Mr Swinney indicated he was ready to compromise on the plan for a centrally-set 3p tax rate across the whole country, which has been the main stumbling block in getting the Lib Dems, who back local income tax in principle, to sign up for the Scottish Government scheme.
Along with the other opposition parties, the Lib Dems point out there's not much that is local about a tax that is fixed by the Government.
But now it looks as if Mr Swinney could agree that after a period when the tax rate was set centrally, councils could then be given the power to vary the tax – but only downwards.
The Lib Dems say that's "a step in the right direction" but argue councils should be given the freedom to vary the tax up or down and answer to their own electorate for their decision.
Mr Swinney has also said the Scottish Government is considering excluding students from liability for the local income tax – effectively continuing the exemption they currently enjoy under the council tax.
Forcing students to pay the new tax would risk alienating even further a group which has already seen the SNP sideline its election promise to write off student debt.
And thirdly, Mr Swinney said he was willing to look again at how dividend income could be brought within the scope of the tax.
The idea that wealthy people who live off their investments would escape without paying a penny under the new tax was an obvious flaw on a policy supposed to be based on "ability to pay". Up until now the SNP – and the Lib Dems – had argued the tiny number of people involved and the extra costs involved meant it was simply not worth it. But now it looks as if the Government has recognised their appeal to "fairness" demands a different approach.
Mr Swinney's concessions tackle key concerns raised about the Government's original proposals and are designed to make the policy more palatable.
But Mr Darling poured scorn on the plan to allow councils to set 32 different rates. "Making a bad idea even worse" he called it.
The CBI called the move "a charter for complexity and cost".
And to cap that, HM Revenues & Customs denied SNP claims they had been in talks about collecting the new tax. One senior HMRC source was quoted saying: "This is pie in the sky. The logistical arrangements for collecting this tax would be incredible."
The SNP might be close to a deal with the Lib Dems on local income tax, but parliamentary arithmetic means the Government would still be short of a majority – and the votes of the two Green MSPs and independent Lothian MSP Margo MacDonald could be crucial.
The Greens are likely to prove more difficult to win over than the Lib Dems because a local income tax is not their own starting point. The Greens prefer land value tax – a levy on the value of the land where a property is built. They have yet to have detailed talks with the Government but they would almost certainly press for an element of land tax to be part of any package.
However, Labour – which has promised to come up with its own plans to replace or reform the council tax – has already said it is also willing to discuss land value taxation.
A Green source says: "The SNP's local income tax is not the only game in town."
Ms MacDonald is also still "not convinced" about the Government's proposals. "I just think it might not be do-able," she says.
On top of the tricky task of constructing a parliamentary majority to get the necessary legislation passed, the SNP still faces the UK Government's insistence that a local income tax would mean it clawed back over 400 million currently paid to Scots in council tax benefits – money which the Nationalists need to make their scheme work.
And a new problem has now arisen thanks to the financial crisis. Rising unemployment is expected to mean the new tax will raise around 500m less than the SNP had calculated.
Alex Salmond included the local income tax in the list of legislation he announced for the current parliamentary year back at the beginning of last month.
But the Bill is not expected to be introduced until near the end of the session – probably June next year – and may not be voted on until 2010.
The objective remains to introduce the new tax in 2011. But despite Mr Swinney's concessions, it looks as if the SNP will struggle to make that happen.

Chapter 8: MEMS/NEMS Design and Applications
Fabrication and Characterization of MOS Transistor Tip Integrated Micro Cantilever
|S.H. Lee, G. Lim and W. Moon
|Pohang University of Science and Technology, KR
|505 - 508
|MOS transistor tip, anisotropic wet etching, compensator, future high-density data storage system, scanning probe microscope
|In this paper, we fabricate and characterize the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) transistor tip integrated micro cantilever, which is proposed for a future high-density data storage system. The integrated MOS transistor tip as the sensing part has some advantages; it detects the electric signal with the fast speed compared with the previous SPM probes, and it can reduce the required equipments such as the lock-in-amplifier. The MOS transistor tip is fabricated 3-dimensionally, utilizing the lateral diffusion and the anisotropic wet etching with TMAH solution, since the etch rate of {211} plane is much higher than those of {100} or {111} planes. The gate area is formed by self-aligned technique, using crystallographic dependant wet etching. The well-known convex corner compensation pattern is used for the gate length control during the tip fabrication process. The characteristics of the fabricated device are measured and the results show the well-established detection properties. The MOS transistor tip integrated micro cantilever can be used for a micro-scale topology sensor, a charge sensor as well as the probe head of the future high-density data storage system, since the integrated MOS transistor tip is highly sensitive and detectable with the quick variation of the electric signal.

Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the U.S. It has incited controversial and heated debates regarding its use. Much of the controversy lies in its potential for medicinal use versus chronic abuse. Research has confirmed therapeutic efficacy of the cannabis plant for relieving pain, controlling nausea, stimulating appetite and decreasing ocular pressure in chronically ill patients. Though until scientists are able to further evaluate and harness effective cannabinoids in cannabis sativa, the adverse effects of marijuana use may not outweigh the medicinal properties.
On campus, the 2011 Boynton College Student Health Survey showed 18.7% of students have used marijuana within the past 12 months.
The main active chemical in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC for short. The shredded green and brown mix of flowers, stems, seeds, and leaves derived from the hemp plan Cannabis sativa are often smoked as a joint or in a pipe. When smoked as blunts, cigars that have been emptied of tobacco and refilled with a mixture of marijuana and tobacco, users combine marijuana's active ingredients with nicotine and other harmful chemicals.
The human body naturally produces endogenous cannabinoids (e.g., anandamide, and 2-AG) with coordinating cannabinoid receptors involved in appetite, pain sensation, mood and memory. THC in marijuana attaches to cannabinoid receptors in the brain that triggers a cascade of intracellular interactions that gives users a "high" when smoking marijuana. The highest concentration of cannabinoid receptors exist in the hippocampus, cerebellum, and basal ganglia of the brain. These areas of the brain effect pleasure, memory, thinking, concentrating, sensory and time perception, and coordination. Chronic use of marijuana has been linked to increased anxiety, paranoia, depression, and schizophrenia. Research into whether marijuana use causes mental health problems, exacerbates them, or reflects an attempt at self-medication has yielded inconsistent results.
Chronic marijuana use may lead to physical and psychological dependence that interfere with cognitive, goal orientation, and interpersonal relationships. According to the National Institute for Drug Abuse, long-term marijuana abusers report both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms of irritability, anxiety, decreased appetite, sleeplessness, and cravings. Typically, withdrawal symptoms from marijuana use begin within one to two days of abstinence and peak at two to three days. The symptoms subside within one to two weeks once stopped. Marijuana is fat soluble, allowing it to diffuse into and be stored in fat tissue where it is slowly released over an extended period of time. Urine testing can detect positive marijuana levels 30 to 93 days from date of last use in chronic marijuana users.

The Prison Reform Trust launched the Out of Trouble campaign in 2007 with £1.5m in funding from The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, which itself closes in December.
The campaign has worked to highlight issues around child imprisonment at both national and local levels, collecting and publishing evidence on inappropriate imprisonment, lobbying government for changes to the law and influencing agencies in the youth justice system.
Penelope Gibbs, director of the Out of Trouble programme, said the trust would continue to keep a "watching brief" on youth custody, but the area will no longer form part of the charity's core work.
"The youth custody population has gone down significantly in the past five years and with the legislative changes to remand, it could potentially go down more," she said.
"The Prison Reform Trust will keep a watching brief on what's going on in youth justice and will continue to be a member of the Standing Committee for Youth Justice.
"We feel we have had a real push on children in custody and we have now got some funding to look at trying to reduce imprisonment among women using the lessons learned from Out of Trouble."
During the lifetime of the programme, youth custody levels have reduced considerably. In June this year the under-18 custodial population stood at 1,690, compared to 2,909 in June 2007, a drop of 42 per cent.
Gibbs will leave her role when the programme closes but is establishing a new charity called Transform Justice, to "create a more humane, open and effective justice system in England and Wales".
She will continue in her role as vice chair of the Standing Committee for Youth Justice.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & andy langton & goodroi
Let's take for example that I have a site about ice cream.
When I search "ice cream" my page comes up as #1.
But when I search "ice" my page doesn't even come up on page 100. I know I'm getting more traffic than most of the guys on page 5 at the very least, so shouldn't I at least be ON THERE?
Also, I might be wrong, but I think I tried link:mysite.com once and Google actually returned some sites linking me. They no longer return any results when I search for sites linking me now. Have I been blacklisted?
Also, 1-word searches usually return many more pages than 2-word phrases -- so it's harder to get to the top of the SERP. And if a site is about "ice cream" you don't really want to go for inbound links that just say "ice", anyway, and that's a lot of what it would take.
Now sometimes the single keyword can seem to be a good goal. I have one client who is a premier manufacturer of goods made from a certain "material". That single word returns 52 million pages, and they are usually in the top 5, sometimes at #1. However, that search has almost no business value for them -- it just doesn't bring in sales! What does bring sales are phrases like [material]+[type of good]
Another client came to me in a market where a 1-word search is considered to be the "holy grail" by many of their competitors. And yet, historically, those 1-word searches only brought in relatively low sales for their business. Added to that, getting to #1 and maintaining even a first page presence was an immense and unpredictable battle.
We diversified their search presence -- intentionally going for a wide variety of 2- and 3-word phrases that were highly relevant. And their sales went up, way up. In addition, through all kinds of algo changes and updates, their search traffic volume naturally maintains quite a steady level with minimal ongoing work.
So my advise is to relax about 1-word searches and move your attention further down -- more toward the "long-tail" of the search, even if not all the way down at the end of it. IF you really feel that the one word search is important for the site, test it with a minimal PPC campaign and see if that traffic is worth your energy. My guess would be that it isn't.
How do I tell if my site's been blacklisted by Google?
The easiest way is to search for your home URL, such as trying www.example.org. Don't put quotes around it, or it will just show text occurrences. If G gives you info for the URL, you're listed.
If you are listed, and just showing poorly in your hoped-for searches, then you have to work on adding content to the site, and getting more backlinks. Careful tweaking of titles and file-names helps, and arrangement of internal linking also, but bottom-line, SE's love words, so content is the key. Many good, pertinent pages, with much good, pertinent text, will eventually out-perform billions of dodgy links. Of course, you need a few decent inbound links to kick-start the whole thing.
And welcome to WebmasterWorld. Happy New Year.

The handle is solid Stainless Steel (Just like my Sig's!) and I have always been fan of the Tanto tactical knives. I got it for $40 last night at Dick's sporting goods.

Nov. mys- terious return of a key to the flat in which Helen Knabo was found dead1 has added a complication to the case of alleged murder or suicide that is bothering the detectives. When the fiat was first visited the officers learned that there were three keys to the spring lock on the door of Dr. Knabe's apartment. Miss Mc- Pherson carried one. Miss Augusta Knabe carried another and Dr. Knabe was supposed to have the other. The third key could not be found. Thursday the key was found on a chiffonier in plain view. It is believed to have been returned some time during the night. Who took the key away and for what purpose no one can but the tetectives regard the return of the key as very important Both Miss Knabe and Miss McPherson denied any knowledge of the key.

Napoli and Inter keep pace with leaders Juve
Napoli kept in touch with Serie A leaders Juventus with a 5-1 thumping of bottom club Pescara today while Inter scraped a 1-0 win over Palermo.
Two goals apiece by Gokhan Inler and Edinson Cavani and another from Marek Hamsik moved Walter Mazzarri's Napoli side within two points of Juve who defeated local rivals Torino 3-0 on Saturday.
"We have to carry on with the same attitude we had in the second half because we played badly at the end of the first half and that angered me," said Cavani.
Inter are four points behind Juve after ending a run of three games without a win.
However their stodgy display will not inspire confidence they can sustain a serious title challenge particularly with playmaker Wesley Sneijder sidelined over a contract dispute.
Lazio are six points off the pace in fourth spot after beating Parma 2-1 thanks to a 25th-minute effort from defender Giuseppe Biava and Miroslav Klose's ninth league goal of the season.
Ishak Belfodil pulled one back for Parma in the 66th minute, converting the rebound after his penalty was saved.
AS Roma are sixth after coming back from a goal down to win 3-1 at lowly Siena.
Two goals from rejuvenated former Siena striker Mattia Destro and one by Simone Perrotta gave Zdenek Zeman's side a deserved victory in a match where they missed a hatful of chances.
A first half hat-trick from Alberto Paloschi and a last minute tap-in by Adrian Stoian gave Chievo a 4-2 victory at fellow strugglers Genoa and their first away points of the season.
Genoa's fourth straight home defeat saw them slip into the bottom three with 12 points, only one ahead of Pescara.
Bologna beat Atalanta 2-1 thanks to a deflected free kick from Alessandro Diamanti in the 16th minute and a second-half goal from former Atalanta player Manolo Gabbiadini while Udinese stayed in mid-table despite a 4-1 rout of Cagliari.
Fiorentina, in fifth, can reclaim third place with a home win against Sampdoria later on Sunday

Cheap-ish Paint Job- Spray can?
I've got a 79 Chevy C-10 pickup. The body is in pretty good shape (not perfect but not bad either) but the paint is very thin in many places and it a nasty gold-ish color on top of that. All faded out, not shiny anymore.
I've gotten good at using a spray can to paint things with, i'm always painting something. An engine, or whatever. If the proper preparations were made, would there be anything wrong with using some spray cans of paint to paint over my nasty gold colored truck?
I don't have a professional paint spraying gun, a sufficient compressor (measly 20 gal 8cfm @ 40 psi oil less Campbell Hausfeld), or any air dryers, etc. Nor do I have a nice indoor dry dust free environment to paint in. I don't have the money nor the desire to let a shop do the job (If you want anything done right you have to do it yourself anyways usually) and a cheap paint job from a body shop will probably be worse than a spray can job, and maybe be uglier too.
I think with the proper preparation and technique using spray cans would be fine. I could do it a piece at a time if needed. And if i use rustoleum, it would even be glossy and tough. No clear coat needed.
Anything would have to look better than this nasty gold, right? And if I do this, will it effect how it will hold paint in the future if i should ever get the chance to get it done RIGHT?
I am thinking Red, or Black. Also, what can i do to get rid of the trim on this truck? There will be holes under the trim where they riveted the trim on or something. How do i fix that?
paint job
I would do something for the tailgate and rear bumper and leave the rest.
If you just want a cheap half way decent paint job, why not take it to maco or earl sheib or something?
Or, you could give it to me as I would be happy to have what you've got!
I call this my "rat truck" as you can see in the picture, it's a little rusty but the engine and drive line is excellent. m
rattle can is not going to look good, it is also not going to hold up, as rustoleum has no UV protection. it also will need to be removed if you choose to paint it with real paint
20 gallon 8cfm compressor, with a simple air drier using a cheap $30 campbell hausfeld gravity feed spray gun is going to look better, and last longer. wet the ground beneath with a garden hose
here is the link of the guy that started this revolution..

$98 Roller Paint Job in Hot Rod
hope this work for you...
maaco is advertizeing their one paint job for 249 right now ,they will tape it off and spray it , much better than a spray can job that won't look good and won't last long.
Frank Cox
Cox Custom Cards
$75 Paint Job
If you are careful, it could come out ok. You would need to do a lot of prep work. You'll actually spend a lot of money buying spray cans.
It would be better to do the Priming yourself, and then take it get painted at a good body shop.
Spray Job
Ok, I admit it, I've done it. I had a 64 box nova with a blue paint job with a red hood and a white drivers door. I got so sick of looking at it I decided to take cheap drastic measures and bought a 12 can case of ford engine blue. (Half price sale I was that cheap).
I scrubbed the car with a brush and tide detegent, let it dry, taped off the trim, bumpers, windows, grill, and door handles, and went for it.
I used 6 cans for a first light coat and the other 6 for the final coat. (Probably take more for your truck) 6 hours later it looked like a whole different car.
I'm warning you though, My button fingers on both hands hurt for a week!
They sell clip on handles for spray cans now I think it's Harbor Freight.
This was back in 1975 when Maco was doing a paint job for $99.95. I spent about 30 bucks!
dont know whare your located but if you got an earl sheibe near you they are cheap. dont expect much.. maybe even just put in in black primer ...
I've done it a few times.
Again back when engine enamel was less expensive.
I used semi gloss black duplicolor on an S10.
Not much prep was done (needed).
The key I think to getting it to look right is to have enough ready and keep laying it on until the whole panel is tacky/wet (one thick coat), this way there are no dry spray lines.
And believe it or not it held up quite well in the florida sun.
I think a lot of people mess up and go with flat black, it seems to chaulk off in short time.
Also it looks like duplicolor has been bought out by rustoleum, or at least the local auto parts store now carries only rustoleum engine enamel, and it sucks.
Guys i'm brand new here but this thread caught my eye. I have an 80 cutlass that is in pretty good condition except for the fact that it's met brown with a tan vinyl roof.
I'm considering going Spray can again. A few year back I had a 1st gen RX7 with a SBC stuffed in it. It was a street / track toy and never intended to be a show car. The only problem with it was the fact that it was several different colors. I used A Duplicolor bumper paint that was pretty new to the market at the time. It looked kinda like a satin but layed down pretty well. I simply scuffed, Primed and painted it the car doing one panel at a time. All told it took 20 cans or so to complete but I put on 3 coats. It looked great I got compliments on the paint job many times. No one could believe the it was rattle can stuff and it lasted for the 5 years I had the car. It was just starting to show some fade and wear in the last year.

" Genre: R&B & Soul - Soul / Artist: Jagged Edge / Audio CD released 2004-06-14 at Columbia "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Jagged Edge released "Hard" in 2003 as their fourth album. The record sees them returning with more of their soulful material after having hit it big with "Jagged Littler Thrill" - a record containing hits such as "Where The Party At", "Goodbye" and "I Got It". Here the Casey Brothers, Wingo and Kyle are, once again, backed by Jermaine Dupri, Bryan Michael-Cox and Jazze Pha.
1. "They Ain't J.E."
Kicking right into the swing of things, here we have them powering-through with a tune that has them establishing exactly who they are over some lively production from Jazze Pha. It's a fresh one and the kind of thing that I'm sure will attract most R&B fans of the style seen in the early-to-mid '00s as they come to show exactly what they are about and how they differ from others in the game.
**Four Stars**
2. "Walked Outta Heaven"
Probably the biggest single from the album, this is a soft slow jam from the act and one that I felt did a lot for them and showing just how well they were able to garner attention with a song that doesn't sound particularly impressive initially, however it seems to open out as you get further and further into the thing. It's a powerful one from them and one that really stands out on the release for how much it differs from the norm of the time.
**Four Stars**
3. "Girls Gone Wild"
With a little help from Major Damage on the production, on this on we see that the group come to perform a tune that switches the direction of things a little as they take on more Hip Hop influences and break out with a track that begins with some half-rap, half-sung vocals and it makes for something quite exciting and the sort of thing that keeps you involved and engaged with the thing.
**Four Stars**
4. "Visions"
We get a steady, mid-tempo flow on this one and it gets the thing flowing nicely and even excites you for what could come here. I found that although this one sounded quite plain and average (when compared to others) over time I thought that it improved with time and made for a fly one that should have more attention paid towards it as they throw down another strong performance.
**Four Stars**
5. "Hard"
The titular track to the album, this one can't be said to really suit what you wouldn't have expected of a song with such a title. On it, we have them bringing a tune that has them focusing-in on the relationship that they are in and how exactly they want to make it work for them, but it isn't going as they wish. I thought that it was a bit of a weak point on the album and I can't see why they would choose this one to represent the album by (as they named it after this track).
**Two Stars**
6. "Dance Floor"
As the title indicates, here we are in for a real change to the direction of the music and we find that here we are given the opportunity to get some more energetic material out of them. I can't say that I thought that this one was anywhere near able to compete with others that they have dropped over the years (especially from their last couple of albums), however it acted as a nice pick-up from the last one.
**Four Stars**
7. "Trying To Find The Words"
We get some grungy production on this one to show that they really embrace the fact that they are a southern R&B group. They sound as if they were just one step away from Crunk & B (which hadn't yet come into prominence) and so I thought that it was one that really stood out on the album as a fresh, club-suited tune that I expect quite a few to enjoy if they were into the work of Cherish, Ciara and Usher in the years that would follow on from it.
**Four Stars**
8. "What's It Like"
Here we have them moving things back towards some more of their typical stuff and the kind of thing that we've come to expect out of the act. I have to say that I thought that this kind of thing was just far too plain and really didn't offer anything near how much that others on the album did and so it seemed to just be lost and it stands as one that you are likely to forget quickly as a result.
**Two Stars**
9. "Tryna Be Your Man"
Here they throw out another club tune and they manage to forget just how weak the material on the last tune was. Although it might be the case that the production masks some pretty average lyrics (as I saw it), I thought that it didn't really matter too much when you consider the fact that here the music is geared towards delivering something that would get over in the clubs if it dropped there.
**Four Stars**
10. "I Don't Wanna"
They decide to slow it all up one again for this one as they drop a tune that has them lowering the tempo again in order to address some more serious subject matters. I thought that this one needed some time to really get into, and really I can't say that I had the time for it, however I can imagine that people who are much more into their music will have grown to enjoy this tune much more than I could.
**Three Stars**
11. "In Private"
For this one we get a little something that shows that Jagged Edge do sometimes come out of their comfort zone in order to trail things which aren't quite as typical for them. I thought that it didn't really come together as well as I thought that they would have helped as they use some interesting production and tried-out a little something new to see how they could push things, but it wasn't really happening.
**Two Stars**
12. "In The Morning"
Here they come with a track that I thought was able to rescue them (after they were seen to have a little slip). In it we have them taking on a little influence from more of the eighties R&B sounds in order to find inspiration for their work and I thought that they were successful at integrating it all into the mix and coming out with another tune on the album that's really making noise on the record.
**Four Stars**
13. "Shady Girl"
The album ends with a track that I was really fond of as we see that they take in much more Hip Hop influence into their stuff (seen by their sampling of naughty By Nature's "Uptown Anthem") and so it makes for a pretty fly one that has them doing a great job at balancing various components in order to make for something that shows just how well they can make hits and get the job done like no other R&B group in operation at the time.
**Four Stars**
I have to say that I expected more out of this album as we see that here we get an album that doesn't get the best out of them and has them offering more inconsistent material (as was seen with all the albums leading up to this one). However, there's still a lot that I can see R&B fans falling for and so it wasn't a straight failure for them.
Hard is the fourth album from Jagged Edge released in 2003. The album features collaborations with the likes of Big Boi from Outkast aswell as Street Katz And Woonie on the remix of "They aint J" and Major Damage on Girls Gone Wild.
1. They Ain't JE
This is the introduction to the album, the track is about having confidence in yourself that you have something that other people can't offer. As I mention later this original version isnt as good as the remix. That is a shame.
2. Walked Outta Heaven
This track has a gorgeous feel to it. It starts softly then the beat comes in and showcases their distinctive Jagged Edge ballad. Superb vocals all around and one of their best songs. The vocal harmonies are amazing.
3. Girls Gone Wild Featuring Major Damage
This track is about meeting some girl on spring break. A catchy mid tempo track which although has a very nice feel is slightly let down by the rap by Major Damage who ever he is. A nice summery track though.
4. Visions
This is a great mid tempo ballad which features a very punchy bassline. The smooth Jagged Edge vocals are on show again and the music compliments the vocals well and there's also some superb female backing vocals.
5. Hard
Another catchy track which Jagged Edge are known for, The smooth vocals are there aswell as the firm beat. A nice mix between a ballad and midtempo track. One of the best ones they have done like this.
6. Dance Floor
Probably the weakest track on the album, Although it has a nice catchy hook it doesnt really have that spark that their best tracks do. It also doesnt really expand on the hook. Not bad though.
7. Trying To Find The Words
This is a laidback midtempo track which has a nice feel and the vocals are very flowing as is the backing music. Not the best midtempo/uptempo track they have ever done but not all that bad compared to other artists.
8. What's It Like
This is an amazing ballad which opens with a great vocoder harmony. This track is about someone lonely after a relationship break up and wondering when or even if they will ever find real love. This is a great track which has an amazingly emotive subject.
9. Tryna Be Your Man
This track opens with a very warm sounding spanish guitar and then the beat comes in. This fails to get fully going which is a little dissapointing given the quality of the majority of the album.
10. I Don't Wanna
This is a great ballad, it opens with a very gentle guitar and then develops with the thump of the drum sequence. This is what Jagged Edge are all about, smooth vocals with a firm drum beat. Their vocals sound truly superb on this track. The way their vocals blend together is bettered only by Boyz II Men in my opinion.
11. In Private
This is another gentle song that opens with a gentle guitar but the beat is a bigger test of a Hi-fi than the previous track. Smooth vocals with a Jagged Edge. Their name describes their music better than any other artist.
12. In The Morning
Another great ballad, this is the only track that has a truly smooth feel on Hard. One of the best of their lesser known ballads. Great lead vocals from Brian and Brandon Casey as usual. One of the best tracks on the album.
13. Shady Girl
This opens with slow dramatic piano and then the hip hop beat comes in. This midtempo track is very catchy and features longtime friend Jermaine Dupri. The smooth vocal harmonies are superb.
14. Car Show Featuring Big Boi
This is a very catchy track featuring Outkast's Big Boi, the tempo of this track changes throught the song and Big Boi provides his distinctive rapping. One of the best uptempo tracks on the album and a great collaboration. Very Catchy.
15. They Ain't (JE Remix) Featuring Street Katz And Woonie
This is a very catchy worthwile remix of They Ain't JE. The track is in my opinion better than the original as it has a better tempo and more of a catchy hook. Not to say that the original is such a bad track.
16. On My Way (After The Club
This is a gentle track which features some nice guitar licks and a great beat. The smooth vocals arent as good as some of the album but are still very good indeed. A nice way to end the album with this nice ballad/mid tempo track.
This is a very good album from Jagged Edge, What's it like and Walked outta heaven and I don't wanna are three sensational tracks and there are plenty of great tracks with the rest. Another album that showcases Jagged Edge's talent and confirms them as one of the best vocal harmony groups of the era.

Nationally Certified Teachers May See Smaller Bonus
Fifth-grade teacher David Javsicas was recently awarded national certification by the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards.
"It's a very long process and it just felt great to get it done in the first place," said Javsicas.
In the past, the recognition included a bonus of 10 percent pay and another bonus for mentoring other teachers. This year's bonus amount is uncertain due to a drop in state funding.
"Money is a way in our society we show what our priorities are," said Javsicas. "If you take away money from something, whether or not you mean to, it can send the message that it's a lower priority."
Javsicas says he understands that times are tough for everyone, but admits he wouldn't like money taken from schools. And it's not a new problem for educators.
"I think that this is the kind of field where people try to figure out what they can do with what they have," said Javsicas.
Today the Florida Senate announced it will move up its budget meetings to next week to figure out how to address this year's $2 billion deficit. "This is not simply another budget exercise," Florida Senate President Jeff Atwater said. "Throughout this nation, and in particular this state, there has been a tectonic shift in the structural underpinnings of our economy that requires us to look at our mission through a different prism."
State representative Chuck Chestnut wants to see education avoid cuts by the state.
"If we as a legislature, if education is important to us I think we need to fund education," said Chestnut. "let's put our money where our mouth is."
Javsicas says helping schools will help the entire community.
"It will pay dividends that will be beneficial for everybody and not just for the students right here."

How to achieve quality assurance for your electronic designs
4 comments
It's no secret that electronic designs are becoming ever more complex. I used to think things were hard enough back in 1980 when I was designing my first ASIC as a gate-level schematic using pencil and paper. Looking back, however, I realize life was a doddle and I had things easy – all I had to worry about was making sure the logic was functionally correct and would fit in the device (a gate array containing 2,000 equivalent gates) and that the timing was OK, which wasn't particularly taxing since our system clock was sub-1MHz and we had lots of slack to play with.
We didn't even think about things like leakage power and dynamic power consumption. Now, of course, we're talking about designs containing millions upon millions of logic gates, including humungous blocks of third-party IP, more processor cores and hardware accelerators than you can swing a stick at, with millions of lines of software thrown into the mix.
So how do we ensure the quality of all aspects of an electronic design, including hardware (digital, analog, mixed-signal...) and software (boot code, test routines, firmware, drivers...) for anything from FPGAs and SoCs to full-blown embedded systems?
Obviously we have a plethora of verification and analysis tools available to us, ranging from formal verification to software simulation and emulation, but are these enough? I'm thinking back to the infamous Pentium FDIV bug from 1993, which ended up costing Intel somewhere in the region of half a billion dollars. My recollection is that the cause of this bug was that someone neglected to load some entries from a text file into a look-up table (I'm glad I wasn't that engineer).
The problem is that you can't test every conceivable occurrence using conventional verification technology. The Pentium FDIV bug was subtle in that only a small proportion of floating point division operations performed with these processors would produce incorrect results, with the result that the bug wasn't picked up by whatever verification techniques the folks at Intel were using at the time.
How are things like this tracked? Well, even today, there's an inordinate use of checklists and spreadsheets and tools and techniques of this ilk. But engineers typically begrudge the time required to keep these things up to date, and managers spend a lot of time compiling status reports and suchlike. Surely there has to be a better way…
A traditional design environment/flow
Let's start by considering a traditional design environment and flow. First of all we are going to have a bunch of specification documents, which may be presented in a variety of formats, including Word files, text files, Excel Spreadsheets, PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, and so forth as illustrated in Figure 1.
design environment/flow.
In addition to the specifications themselves (maximum possible power consumption, maximum possible area…), these documents may also include things like best practices, things to watch out for ("Don't use IP block XYZ version x.x with synthesis tool ABC version y.y because we ran into problems with this before"), and things to remember to do ("Note to self: Don't forget to load all of the FDIV look-up table into the processor before building 10 million chips," for example).
Based on these specifications, we will decide on an architecture, purchase some third-party IP, re-use some internal IP from previous projects, and capture some new functional blocks in the form of RTL. (Obviously this is a gross simplification because we are ignoring things like virtual prototypes and transaction-level models and so forth, but this high-level view will serve our purposes here.)
Next, we will process and analyze our design using a variety of tools, including synthesis, simulation, formal verification, and so forth. In the case of large designs, these tools may generate megabytes, gigabytes, sometimes terabytes of data in the form of log files and reports each day, so the problem will be to wade through all of this data to locate the nuggets of critical information we need to determine if everything is as it should be.
So, once again, we come back to our original question, which is how can we ensure the quality of our design. How can we capture all of the things we know that we need to do in some form or other, and how can we then make sure that we do all of the things we need to do?
Probes and Formulas and Dashboards, Oh my!
And so we come to VIP Lane, which was created by the folks at Satin Technologies. VIP Lane is really cool technology that will better ensure the quality of just about any facet of electronic design. In fact, the reason founders of Satin gave the company its name was in order to emphasize how using their technology makes our lives so silky smooooth.
Seriously, this technology is applicable to hardware (digital, analog, mixed-signal...) and software (boot code, test routines, firmware, drivers...) for anything from FPGAs and SoCs to full-blown embedded systems. One really important point is that deploying VIP Lane does not change your existing design and verification flow in any way.
Now, the tricky part for me will be to explain this is such a way that you realize just how clever yet easy-to-use this all is. Since I'm a hardware guy by trade, we'll come at things from that direction – but make sure you remember that this technology is applicable to anything you can measure that generates machine-readable results.
The first step is to create your probes (also known as sensors). These are little functions that are designed to go into documents or databases and locate and extract the required information in the form of a text string, or a numerical value, or a table, or whatever. These probes may be used to access data from the original specifications, or from the hardware / software design files, or from the log files and databases generated by the design tools, or… the list goes on. The folks at Satin Technologies have already created hundreds of these probes targeted at the design tools and flows from the major EDA vendors, and you can use these probes as templates or starting points for creating your own.
As a simple example, let's assume that we are creating an SoC design. Somewhere in the specification will be the maximum permitted power consumption for the chip. Let's call this PMAX. We could create a probe that goes into the appropriate specification and accesses this value. Similarly, we could create probes that access the leakage power (PLEAK) for the chip from the synthesis log files and the dynamic power consumption (PDYNAMIC) from the simulation log files.
Next we could create a formula that accesses these probe values and uses them to generate the total power consumed by the chip: for example, PTOTAL = PLEAK + PDYNAMIC. And, of course we can compare our PTOTAL value to the original PMAX as defined in the specification, and use this to inform the designers and managers whether or not we have achieved our goal.
And how do we present this data to the designers and managers? Well, one way is by means of configurable dashboards as illustrated in Figure 3 (click on this image to see a larger, more detailed version).
the form of configurable dashboards.
Each entry in the dashboard corresponds to a particular quality check. A green background indicates a pass; a red background indicates a fail; and other colors indicate different states, such as "Not yet tested." Moving your mouse cursor over a particular element in the dashboard allows you to access and view the formulas and probe values associated with that element, along with comments explaining what is required and so forth.
One point of interest is that different dashboards can be created for different users. The designer of an RTL block may wish to see a dashboard that corresponds only to that block, for example. A team leader may wish to see a dashboard corresponding to a group of blocks. And the project manager may wish to see a dashboard that summarizes the data from all of the other dashboards.
As I mentioned earlier, the concepts underlying VIP Lane are deceptively simple – it's the way in which the folks at Satin Technologies have implemented the solution that makes VIP Lane so powerful. This technology enables engineering teams to move away from using manual, tedious, and unreliable design checklists; to save weeks with every design by automatically generating dashboards and quality reports; and to achieve on-the-fly quality monitoring with no overhead to the design teams.
So, as we've see, the underlying concept behind VIP Lane is so simple that even a manager can understand it (grin). Of course the actually implementation is non-trivial, but everything is easy-to-use and intuitive from the users' point of view. The end result is to ensure the quality of your design – and who can put a price on that?

Nemo starts to wreak havoc in East Providence as storm intensifies
EAST PROVIDENCE — As the 10 o'clock approached Friday night, the effects of Nor'easter Nemo were beginning to take a real toll on East Providence as nearly half the city lay in some state of darkness due to power outages.
Several wires, branches and even some trees have been taken down by the storm due to the heaviness of the snow and increasing high wind gusts.
The East Providence Police station was in the area affected by the power outages, working off a back-up generator. The police reported a plow truck got caught up in downed power lines near the Oldham School on Bullocks Point Avenue in Riverside.
Most of the power outages took place from Waterman Avenue, where the police station is located, south towards Kent Heights and Riverside. National Grid reported a couple of outages as well in Rumford in the area near Massasoit Avenue. Over 17,000 of National Grid's approximately 22,000 customers in the city were affected.
