How to use Threaded Inserts in Soft woods?
When you are using a threaded insert in plywood or hard wood, inserting them or screwing them into place is not a problem as you are not threatened of the surface chipping. Soft woods pose that threat www.tappexinserts.com. Here the possibility of the coarse layer of the wood cutting on to the outer boundary is little high. It is important to size the hole to that of the insert and slowly screw the insert on to the place.

Toledo 9-Year-Old gives $20, Now Gives $1 Million!
Remember the story of the Toledo area kid, Myles Eckert, that gave Lt. Col. Frank Daily of the Air National Guard $20 for his service to the country? It was a random act of kindness or "paying it forward." Now, it's turned into $1 million... Myles was just featured on Ellen, too.

Tartan Properties Client Testimonials
From Landlords & Sellers
"Michael Porterfield has handled all of our office leasing in our 144,000 square foot building in Alexandria for about four years. Michael is the consummate professional and makes a great impression with potential tenants. It is fantastic having a broker who is local and knows the Alexandria market as well as he does. We are proud to have Michael Porterfield as the "face" of our company."
"Tartan has been my exclusive landlord rep for the last 10+ years and it's because I truly feel nobody has a better feel for this area, and for our building. Mike Porterfield and the whole team at Tartan have always been extremely easy to work with, and never back down from a tough leasing challenge (and I've given them some doozies!). They do their job with skill, patience, enthusiasm, and most importantly, a keen understanding of what I am looking for in a tenant. Tartan has my highest recommendation."
"In my 30 years of developing and owning real estate in the metropolitan DC area I have dealt with numerous firms, both large and small. What separates Tartan and especially Mike Porterfield from the others is that he brings the same effort and enthusiasm, be it a large warehouse or a one-person office. Additionally, the deal doesn't end when the signature page is signed because Mike is always around to make sure all the details are being performed. Mike and Tartan are deal-makers."
"I am delighted to enthusiastically recommend Tartan Properties. The principals of the company are accessible, can-do professionals who are experts in the Alexandria market. They do not wait for buyers to appear, they actively promote and market the listing. Our property had been on the market for 1 ½ years with another company, with virtually no activity. When we hired Tartan they secured a sales contract in 3 months. Tartan maintained steady communication and eased the ultimate buyer along until the sale was achieved. I highly recommend Tartan and, if future real estate assistance is needed, we will definitely choose them again without reservation!"
From Tenants & Buyers
"I can't say enough about the service and support my firm received from Tartan Properties. The principals listened to our needs and wants, and then worked with us to translate those into a focused real estate requirement. When it came time to negotiate terms with the landlord's agent, Tartan again was with us every step of the way, helping us to secure the best possible deal for our company. We couldn't have asked for better support throughout the whole process. I can say without hesitation that engaging Tartan Properties is likely to be the wisest real estate move one can make. I intend to continue doing business with Tartan for many years to come."
"If you don't know where to start with finding or determining your commercial real estate needs, Tartan Properties should be your first phone call. It's difficult to find a property that one person likes, but to find a property that an entire Board of Trustees will like should have been an arduous and almost impossible task! Not so for Tartan Properties. From finding multiple properties to pick from, to every stage of construction, Tartan Properties completely exceeded our expectations of brokerage services. Their recommendations for location, space allotment, contractors, etc., were all spot on. The Tartan Team was professional and easy to work with and because of their involvement our new property is exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks and hats off to Tartan Properties."
"Michael did a very thorough job of negotiating our lease. I had very specific, unique needs for a building to locate our new microbrewery. Mike was very thorough as we searched for a location, and made sure that we explored all of our options. He patiently negotiated our lease and did a great job of representing our side of the deal. I highly recommend Michael and would not hesitate to use Tartan Properties again."
"BriarTek Incorporated recently needed to find additional office space in Alexandria, our needs were particularly difficult to meet since we had many specialized requirements and a very limited area we wanted to be located in. Tartan Properties spent the time with us required to identify a wide variety of potential spaces. Their local expertise was very helpful when attempting to understand the various options and they worked hard on our behalf to negotiate beneficial lease terms. Tartan Properties exceeded all of our expectations in terms of expertise and quality of service."
"Mike is the consummate professional and undeniably a Best-in-Class commercial real estate agent. He understood the unique needs that our company had in terms of space and stuck with us through the entire process – all the ups and downs and twists and turns. He was patient, knowledgeable and a true pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mike and would hire him again in a heartbeat."

Mission Statement The Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, established in 1885, remains a center for the study of weather and climate. Scientific research continues with a new focus on public education, teacher/student enhancement programs, and publications in order to better serve the public. Using the ever changing world of weather our mission is to motivate students and teachers to broaden their knowledge in math, science, and technology thereby sharpening their life skills. Observe, Measure, Postulate, Explore! There is good documenation that students are not excelling in math and science. The Observatory's new focus on teacher snd students enhancement programming and school trips to the Observatory have allowed us to have postitive impacts on the way science is taught and perceived in the classroom. We are heavily involved in trying to influence how teenage girls learn and succeed in math and science. Our award winning Women in Natural Science programing takes inner city, underprivileged teenage girls and exposes them in real world environments to the physical sciences through mentoring type programming. We have served nearly 400 girls and are now entering our 8th year of funding for this program. Funding has come from a number of sources including an initial grant from the Anna B Stearns Foundation and a national grant from the Mattel Corporation for this program.

Program 1
The goals and initiatives of the Blue Hill Observatory are three fold: ? To increase the understanding of the atmospheric and natural sciences by providing educational programming, training , consultations, conferences, and workshops for students, teachers, weather professionals and enthusiasts, and the general public. We have a special interest in serving underprivileged youth especially girls with regards to science skills and education ? To maintain continuous, uninterrupted weather and climate records with traditional as well as state of the art equipment and to make this data available to other weather centers, educational institutions, researchers, and the general public through the National Weather Service. ? To support ongoing research projects in critical meteorological topics, climate change and climate variability, and to engage high school and college students in these research projects. To fulfill these goals we have: ? Worked for complete restoration of the historic Blue Hill Observatory built in 1885; seen it declared a National Historic Landmark and opened to the public in 1999. We continue our pioneering research on climate change and global warming and just added an air- quality monitoring program through MEPA. Over 1200 scientific papers have been produced at Blue Hill Observatory ? Developed a curriculum and programming and funding stream for our on going Women in Natural Science (WINS) programming for underprivileged girls. We were awarded the Corporate(non-profit) Award by the American Meteorological Society for this program and received honorable mention in the much sought after Maria Mitchell Award competition. Nearly 400 girls have been cerved with 55% of the students Black, 20% Latino, 20% Caucasion, and 5% Asian ? Continued our very active school programming with over 21,000 students having visited the Observatory since 1999 when it was opened as a Science Center ? Continued out teacher enhancement activities ? Continued our internship program for high school and college students(UMass, Wheaton, Cornell, Lyndon State, Plymouth State have all recently participated) ? Expanded out long running lecture series to a full-scale/annual Southern New England Weather Conference and cosponsored Radar Meteorology ? A Short Course. Our conferences have seen over 2,000 attendees ? Continued our publishing program with newsletters and Bulletins as well as three recent full length books: Hurricane Carol ?

David woke at sunrise, as he rarely did for missions. Most of the them were during the night, as creatures of the night usually dwelled at that time. But this mission was different, and he was called upon to do his job in the broad daylight. He rose up out of bed and reached for the curtains, and with one swift motion pulled them out of the way so that the warm and golden sunlight poured into his dwelling. David squinted his eyes against the rays, and sat upright on his bed toward his door. He began to get ready for the mission ahead. He slid on his breeches, tied his boots, and buttoned his shirt. Next, he strapped his stakes, holy water, crucifix, hammer, swords, and mini-crossbow to himself, assuring that each piece of equipment was securely fastened with belts and straps and buttons.
David then stepped out of his room and found his slayer's coat hanging by the front door. He donned it and turned the handle of the door once more, this time to leave.
He trekked across the yard of his home, crunching the frosted blades of grass under his heavy foot, until he reached the path that lead into town, where the Slayer Headquarters was located, so he could take his next mission assignment. They had only told him, with grim looks, to come in during the morning. David thought it odd, but he was never one to question orders, he was one to get them done.

Advertised "up-to" broadband speeds can be taken with a pinch of salt, but if Ofcom has its way, providers will soon have to play fair and tell customers how fast, or slow, their services really are.
The latest report from the telecoms watchdog found that broadband packages delivered average speeds of only 6.2Mbps (millions of bits per second) last November and December, despite promises of more than double this at 13.8Mbps. Ofcom is now pushing for a typical speeds range (TSR) to force providers to advertise the actual speeds achieved by at least half of the customers, as well as headline speeds.
"Broadband speeds have actually improved over the past few years, however, providers continue to overpromise on what they can deliver, which is leading to huge dissatisfaction," says Michael Phillips, a product director at Broadband choices.co.uk.
In the wake of Ofcom's findings, Plusnet has announced it will double its headline broadband speeds to up to 20Mbps for existing customers with immediate effect. But BT has criticised the TSR plans, arguing they could mislead customers as average performances will still depend on where people live, and could even lead to internet service providers (ISPs) ignoring less favourable customers. "Enforcing typical speed ranges is dangerous as it could encourage more ISPs to cherry-pick customers to increase their average, leaving customers in rural and suburban areas under-served.
"That would encourage digital exclusion rather than tackle it," says John Petter, the managing director of BT Retail's consumer business.
However, with Ofcom's research revealing that packages using BT's old copper-based ADSL network were only able to deliver speeds of 3Mbps, despite claims of up to 8Mbps, there is clearly a need for more accurate information. For packages flaunting up to 20 or 24Mbps, the disparity was greater with average download speeds of just 6.2Mbps, and only 3 per cent of customers enjoying speeds of more than 16Mbps.
But, it wasn't all bad news for consumers, as Virgin Media's fibre optic cable services managed to deliver between 90 and 96 per cent of the advertised speeds. The study also gave Ofcom the chance to test the new BT Infinity "fibre-to-the-cabinet" service for the first time, which performed much better than its ADSL services.
This new super-fast broadband, which uses fibre optic cables to street-side cabinets and then standard copper telephone line to customers' homes, is currently available to only 15 per cent of the population.
Average download speeds were 31.1Mbps, equating to only 78 per cent of the advertised speeds, but Ofcom did find that average upload speeds were significantly higher than any other service at around 8Mbps.
"It is encouraging that new technologies are being rolled out across the UK and faster speeds are being achieved," says Ofcom's chief executive, Ed Richards. "However, the research shows that ISPs need to do more to ensure they are giving customers clear and accurate information about their services and the factors that may affect the actual speeds customers will receive,"
As well as helping customers compare speeds more accurately, Ofcom has also recommended that the term "unlimited" in advertising should be restricted to services with no usage caps at all.
Many ISPs offer so-called unlimited packages but cap excessive downloading through a fair usage policy. This means that although providers usually let the occasional slip-up go, users who exceed this limit regularly may have restricted usage at peak time and limited access to peer-to-peer sites such as Channel 4's OD. At present, the only truly unlimited options are Virgin Media's XXL package and Sky's Unlimited package.
A new Code of Practice comes into effect in July 2011 compelling providers to allow customers with a proven history of poor speeds to cancel their contract without penalty within three months of signing up. At the moment, many providers levy an exit fee so those lumbered with a poor service can be locked into a contract for up to two years.
In the mean time, there are various ways to get more out of your current package at home and the first step is to test your speed using an online checker such as www.broadbandchoices.co.uk/speed-test.asp.
"Take a few readings on different days at different times and if you find you are consistently receiving an inferior service, take the results to your broadband provider and ask what they can do to improve the situation. They may be able to boost your service, or you may prefer to be put on to a cheaper package that reflects the speeds you are experiencing," says Mr Phillips.
Remember that some factors may be out of your control, for example, if your broadband is via a telephone line, as opposed to a Virgin cable, your download speed will ulti-mately depend on how far you live from the local exchange. However, you may also be able to make simple changes at home to improve your broadband speeds.
If you have a wireless connection, always secure the network with a password to prevent hackers using up bandwidth and slowing it down. Experts recommend using at least a WEP (wired equivalency privacy) password and if possible, a WPA (WiFi protected access) encryption.
Keeping your router clear of obstructions and away from other appliances which emit signals, such as a cordless phone, can also help. Microfilters should also be fitted on to all telephone sockets to prevent signals interfering with one another, while moving the modem closer to the faceplate (the socket the modem connects to) should improve quality and speed.
It may also be worthwhile upgrading your router to get a stronger signal, particularly if yours came free with your package.
You can also consider making improvements to your computer. Upgrading your internet browser and clearing its cache should boost your speed. As would turning off automatic applications such as Windows Update or Live Messenger so that they do not run unnoticed and slow things down. Even the time of day will affect broadband speeds so for heavy downloading stick to off-peak periods either late at night, or during the day, when fewer people are online.
Expert View
Michael Phillips, Broadbandchoices.co.uk
"If you are still unhappy with your service and simply wish to switch to a different provider altogether, you may find you have to pay an exit fee. This can be pretty pricey but new Ofcom guidelines are coming into force from July 2011 which will lower the costs."

Conversations round a campfire
Ben had offered to cook and Jimmy had actually taken him up on that offer before I spoiled things by laughing so hard I ended up coughing. Suzie, her hands tied to her ankles, had stared sullenly at the ground.
"What?" Jimmy looked perplexed.
"If Ben cooks," I said, still gasping a little to get my breath back, "then first of all, there's unseasonal weather due down from us letting all the damned souls go ice-skating, but more importantly it means we'll all be going hungry. Ben here can burn water and hatch eggs, sometimes in the same pan." Ben nodded, his eyes twinkling, and Jimmy looked a little chastened.
"I kind of figured that with you both being used to nights away from civilisation--" he started, but civilisation started us both off laughing again, and even Suzie joined in this time.
"I'll cook," I said. "At least when I put beans in a pot we don't get a beanstalk growing from it." I went to the saddlebags, and made the unwelcome discovery that we'd not found time to refill any of them in our recent journey.
"Beans, and beef jerky," I said with a sigh. "It's going to be a musical night then. Ben, when we get to Greenwood City we're going to have to buy some food."
Ben looked thoughtful for a moment, and then said, "Nate's probably still doing business that way. He's dependable."
Jimmy's head picked up, his ears twitching, and Suzie suddenly became very still, pretending she wasn't listening. "Nate? You know Greenwood City?" Jimmy asked.
"We know a lot of the places round these parts," said Ben. "Greenwood's just another one of them. Fancy name for a not-so fancy place. Hardly a city at all really, it just got all pleased with itself when they built a hospital out there; next thing you know the good folk have raised taxes and are building civic amenities everywhere you try and halter your horse."
"Which lead to us being asked to leave last time we were there," I said, "when Ben haltered his horse in the new civic fountain and picked all the nice new civic flowers to give to some barmaid."
"Melissa," said Ben with a smile. "She looked really surprised by those flowers."
"Probably because you threw them at her while we galloped past, pursued hotly by Sheriff Granger and those of his men that weren't too drunk to ride!"
"Have you boys been thrown out of everywhere?" Suzie was looking up for the first time since we'd sat her, trussed like a chicken, by the campfire.
"Not everywhere," I said immediately.
"But we must be getting close," said Ben. "Still, Greenwood City. Nate'll be able to tell us who's been coming and going lately, he keeps his eyes on that kind of thing."
"Hah!" Nate was a part-time store-owner and full-time smuggler, and cheated at poker. "We've got to make sure that we get there first, Ben. Otherwise they'll have run straight past us, back to Sister Suzie's boudoir and we won't know whether they're coming or going, or where or when to expect them."
"True enough. You think they'll have let Granger in on this?"
"Not the fine details," I said. "But he'll remember us, so...."
"Remember you for leaving a horse in a fountain and stealing some flowers?" Jimmy's face said he thought there was more left unsaid.
"Well...," said Ben slowly. "There might have been a small fire while we there. And it's just possible that irresponsible men with pointy badges might have suspected us. Unfairly of course."
"What burned down?" Suzie sounded like she already knew the answer.
"The hospital."

Holcomb Valley is located roughly 2.5-3 hours from Los Angeles. This area provides great opportunities to camp locally (but remember, no fires are permitted). The climbing is mostly sport, but there are some trad and top rope options. There is also something for every skill level.
Most of the drive to Holcomb Valley is done on regular paved roads until about the last hour when you get above Big Bear Lake and you start your journey on dirt roads. The road is extremely bumpy and has lots of pot holes but there are generally quite a few cars up there that don't have 4 wheel drive. There's great instructions on which dirt roads to take on Mountain Project .
The trailhead to get to the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles is where the dirt road ends at the "Climbers Camp". From the trailhead to the pinnacles is an easy hike, less than mile. There's a ton of different rock formations and areas to climb at the pinnacles. They don't make a guide book for this area anymore so information can be a bit hard to find. We just asked other climbers if they knew of any good climbs or what the beta was. The best advice is to do some research, ask around when you arrive, and just wing it - you'll be hard pressed not to enjoy yourself and find plenty of good climbing and hiking. While you are hiking in this area make sure to keep an eye out for rattle snakes, they are seen frequently and blend in with the rocks!
After a long day of climbing and figuring out routes head back to camp for some dinner but I encourage your adventure not to end when the sun goes down! After dinner, set back out to explore the crag at night. It feels like a completely different places with no one around. On a dark night the stars are really visible here. We scrambled up to the highest point we could (without using ropes) and found the perfect perch with a 360 degree view of the mountains and stars above. We stayed up there for quite a while taking it all in.
After you're done climbing or camping you can always head down into Big Bear and find some food and drinks! Big Bear Lake Brewing Co. is a favorite!

First heard about the pinnacles while at the Holcomb Valley Scout Camp nearby, got away on a weekend and had a blast climbing and hanging out. A good quick overnight trip or you can easily make a couple days out of it and there's tons to explore in the area.

BeschreibungSex and Deviance is at once a raging critique of the values underpinning contemporary Western societies and a down-to-earth, pragmatic vision of the future. Guillaume Faye is meticulous in his analysis of the points at which Western societies have deviated from their golden mean, thus having triggered the tidal wave of social ills that they are facing and can expect to face. Faye identifies at the centre of this vortex the matter of sex and sexuality, and with this proffers an answer to the perennial question: What is the glue that holds societies together? Faye's penetrating assault on the specious thinking of ideologues is certain to rattle the convictions of those from across the spectrum. Much more than just a socio-political exposition, this book is an invitation to shed old ways of thinking and to begin new, hard-headed discussion over the most pertinent issues of this century. Guillaume Faye was one of the principal members of the famed French New Right organisation GRECE in the 1970s and '80s. After departing in 1986 due to his disagreement with its strategy, he had a successful career on French television and radio before returning to the stage of political philosophy as a powerful alternative voice with the publication of Archeofuturism. Since then he has continued to challenge the status quo within the Right in his writings, earning him both the admiration and disdain of his colleagues.

Iain Sinclair Quotes
London is a city that sleeps too much. This is the mould of its quality. A magnetic contract: to reinvent itself on the other side of dream, each day. And such dreams, smouldering against the tidal spine of the river, telling and retelling the tales that must be told to manifest a city's bones. Whispering the night architecture back into stone.
For the bookish, London is a book. For criminals, a map of opportunities. For unpapered immigrants, it is a nest of skinned eyes; sanctioned gunmen ready to blow your head off as you run for a train. When the city of distorting mirrors revealed itself, through its districts and discriminations, I discovered more about London's past as a reworking of my own submerged history.

Rossi beats Marquez in Catalunya GP duel
(Reuters) - Italian Valentino Rossi won the Grand Prix of Catalunya on Sunday after a thrilling duel with Spaniard Marc Marquez that ended with a handshake between MotoGP's bitter rivals.
Rossi's Yamaha team mate and reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo lost the overall lead to Honda's Marquez after being knocked off his bike by Ducati's Andrea Iannone, the man he will replace next year, on lap 17.
"It's a great victory, one of the best of my career," declared 37-year-old Rossi, who started fifth at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya and dropped to seventh before fighting back to take the lead on lap seven.
It was his second victory of the season, 88th in MotoGP and 114th of his grand prix career.
Marquez, who traded the lead with Rossi over the closing laps, has 125 points to Lorenzo's 115 and Rossi's 103 after seven rounds.
"I was struggling a lot with the front (tire)," said Marquez, who ended last season as Rossi's arch-enemy after the pair clashed on track and the Italian accused him of helping compatriot Lorenzo win the title to keep it in Spanish hands.
"I had a few moments, in the end I was on the limit. I tried but when I saw also Lorenzo out the mentality changed a little bit.
"The important thing is that we had a great battle with Valentino and I think the people enjoyed it," added the Spaniard, whose handshake with Rossi in the finish area ended months of glacial relations.
Both riders acknowledged it was the right thing to do on a weekend overshadowed by the death of Spanish Moto2 rider Luis Salom on Friday. Continued...

Author of "Creating a World of Difference" to Speak at Hope House Woman's Tea Event
CEO of Greene Group brings her message of hope to woman of domestic violence.
As a recognized thought leader in her field, Tana wrote her first book, Creating a World of Difference, around the simple premise that focusing on a meaningful life is often times more important than a successful one. This thought encapsulates her business, Greene Group, which is a national staffing corporation that operates in more than twenty states and places more than 4,000 temporary employees in industries ranging from transportation, scientific and light industrial.
"I recognized very early on that we were not in the staffing business, filling positions. We were in the people business, fulfilling dreams," said Tana Greene, Co-Founder and CEO of Greene Group. "Just like the woman at Hope House, sometimes all you need is someone to give you a chance, and I hope that my personal journey for meaning and purpose will provide them with that encouragement."
In addition to speaking about her approach to business, Tana speaks to audiences about her own life story and experience with domestic violence. As a member of the Steering Committee to raise money for a new women's shelter in Charlotte, she advocates on behalf of victims of domestic violence. She currently appears in numerous television, radio and print awareness ads for the education of domestic violence in the state of NC.
For more information on Greene Group and Creating a World of Difference, visit www.greene-group.com and www.creatingaworldofdifference.com.
About Greene Group Foundation
The Greene Group Foundation, by the same name as the book, sets aside a portion of corporate profits to benefit employees of client companies. This cause has become a driving force for cultural excellence, and one that embodies both a personal and professional journey centered on meaning and hope for everyone.

Goods and Services Tax (GST), one of the most significant reforms introduced in the history of the Indian fiscal evolution
Goods and Services Tax (GST), one of the most significant reforms introduced
Goods and Services Tax (GST), one of the most significant reforms introduced in the history of the Indian fiscal evolution, is likely to come into effect in July 2017. GST is expected to have a far reaching impact, much beyond taxes on business, economy and the society.
Globally, GST is acknowledged as a progressive tax regime, with inbuilt efficiencies to broaden the tax base, decrease cascading effect and reduce revenue leakages. The proposed GST in India is expected to bring in uniform tax rates and provisions to simplify the compliance requirements across the country, supported by automated systems and processes. A well designed GST structure can foster common market and economic growth.
India is expected to adopt a dual GST model where the central and state governments will levy GST simultaneously, on a common taxable value, on the supply of goods and services. However, in the case of imports and interstate supplies, an IGST (Integrated GST) shall be levied by central government. The proposed GST will subsume most of the existing central
and state taxes on the supply of goods and services including central excise,
service tax, state level Value Added Tax (VAT) and other local levies on goods.
While there is a consensus on the nature of levies that shall be subsumed in the GST, however, there is no consensus on the final GST rate. It has been
recommended in the Chief Economic Advisor's report (December 2015), that the GST regime should have a dual rate structure – low GST rate of approximately 12 per cent on merit goods (e.g. essential commodities), and standard GST rate of approximately 18 per cent on other goods. That apart, it is expected that there may be a higher GST rate of approximately 40 per cent on a few demerit goods (like tobacco, aerated beverages, etc.), lower GST rate of approximately 2 per cent on bullions, and exemption from GST on a few select goods. Over and above GST, there is a proposal to levy 1 per cent additional tax on all interstate supply of goods, which is non creditable and will be retained by the selling state.
With GST, there will be a significant shift from origin-based taxation to a destination-based tax structure impacting not only the operating business models but also the revenues of the centre/states. The proposed levy of an additional 1 per cent origin-based non creditable tax on the interstate supply of goods is a deviation from the destination-based taxation system.
GST has the potential to impact cash flow, pricing, working capital, supply chain and IT systems and hence provides an opportunity to transform your business.
Potential benefits of GST:
|Smooth credit mechanism by decreasing the cascading effect of multiple indirect taxes.
|Broadening of the tax base with reductions in exemptions/concessions.
|Creation of a unified common market.
|Simplified/uniform tax compliance and administration across India.
As GST may be introduced at a short notice owing to political compulsions, the time available for businesses

Actually if anyone has any beginner tutorials for how to render a lower thirds template like this and import it into premiere pro I would really appreciate it.
Hi liveproper, send me email via my profile page and i will send you the tutorial how to render lower thirds.

Luca: Car crashMature
Fucking bastard! I growl wordlessly at the window and I scroll my window down, forcing his down too.
"Jeremy, you asshole!" I shout at him, catching a glimpse of my expression in the wing mirror as I yell. I don't look overly impressed. I think the right word might be 'livid'. "You mother fucking bastard!" I want to reach across and strangle him, but he's too far away.
"Oh don't say you wouldn't do anything for the love of your life." He smiles and it only makes me want to hurt him more. I take a deep breath and make myself say something other than a bunch of swear words at him.
"What do you want?" I manage to spit out.
"Gemme," he replies, "forever." Well that's never gonna happen, is it, you sick, twisted, fuckfaced creep.
"Tough shit," I growl, "she ain't ever gonna be yours." Or anyone else's hopefully.
"Oh? How so?" I'm beginning to wonder if this guy is more fucked up in the head than I am. I'm also seriously considering climbing into his car. Yes, at over a hundred miles an hour.
"What d'you mean 'how so?'" I laugh slightly, "we love each other you fucking moron. Kidnapping a girl doesn't usually win her over, either."
"She'll have no choice, we'll be the only ones in the afterlife, we'll be with each other forever." Laughable. Really. That's why I'm laughing right now. Aside from what he just said being the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard - and remember I've lived with people that should be put in a padded cell - Gemme can't die. "What are you laughing at!?" he exclaims angrily.
"You," I gasp for air, I'm laughing so hard, "you're stupider than I thought. Kidnapping my girlfriend is one thing. But 'we'll be the only ones in the afterlife, we'll be with each other forever'?" I have to keep the gas pedal down with telekinesis now, I'm laughing at him so much.
He jerks his steering wheel, steering his car into mine, knocking it slightly. "It's not stupid! At least she won't have to suffer with you anymore!" he yells. I force myself to stop laughing. Seriously. Classic. The knock to the BMW doesn't really bother me. The car isn't even mine. The only thing that bothers me is he's not afraid to hurt Gemme. I smile.
"Y'know I'm hardly forcing her to be with me. She chooses to stay," I tell him. She chooses to want me forever. I never forced her.
"She's just too kind; she doesn't want to break your heart!" huh. He has no idea, does he?
"Gemme's had plenty of opportunities to leave. If she really felt she was suffering, she would have left ages ago." I have to drop behind to avoid smashing into a car coming the other way, but I move back in line with him soon enough. "Look, why don't you just pull over and we can stop talking like this. One of us is gonna end up crashing if we stay like this, and it ain't gonna be me."
"If I carry on, I'll die, but Gemme will be with me. If I stop now you'll kill me." He growls, speeding up. I match his speed easily.
"If you pull over I won't fucking touch you. If you don't pull over, I will climb into your car and make you pull over."
"Right." He laughs manically, and another hit of adrenaline races around me as he pushes his car to its limits, pulling into the wrong lane ahead of me, right in the path of an oncoming car that I'd just been about to avoid.
Without hesitating, I force the steering wheel through Jeremy's hands, making him drive off the road. I spin my own wheel, trying to get out of the road too, but over-steer locks up the wheels and I spin right into the front of the other car.
First time for everything, eh?
The front of the other car slams into my side and the air bag slaps me in the face as we come to a screeching stop.
I was gonna return this car once we got back, as well...
Ow. Mega ow.

Foreshadowing in Oedipus Rex
Foreshadowing Examples in Oedipus Rex:
Note the heavy use of eye- and sight-related imagery in the play. Many characters claim to be able to "see" the truth while others have a more difficult time "seeing" it. Sophocles' heavy-handed imagery foreshadows a crucial moment at the climax.
Jocasta chides Oedipus for making a fuss over something insignificant. His paranoia of being overthrown coupled with his intense curiosity about the past put him in a state of agitation. He blows things out of proportion and is overly dramatic, and these vices will lead to his downfall.
Oedipus believes in free will; that he can actively work in the present to alter future events. Unfortunately, it seems as if every other character is not as optimistic. There are many references to destiny and the unstoppable will of the gods. As the plot progresses, it only makes Oedipus's efforts seem futile and in vain. Sophocles makes the audience feel pity for him, as everyone but Oedipus seems to know he won't have a happy ending.
It is ironic that Tiresias, the blind prophet, accuses Oedipus of not being able to see. Tiresias is a well-respected figure throughout Greek mythology, providing guidance to many kings and heroes. Since Tiresias delivers the will of the gods, Oedipus's denial can be interpreted as an act of defiance against the gods. He will suffer for his own blindness because of his inability to accept Tiresias's prophecy.
Tiresias points out one of Oedipus's vices: vanity. Oedipus's vanity makes him myopic. He is unable to comprehend things that fall outside the scope of his own beliefs, and he will have a difficult time accepting the truth. This quality is similar to hubris, and it possibly foreshadows his downfall.
Oedipus urges his subjects to be motivated by their own moral beliefs to punish the murderer. The significance he places on justice above all else, even if that means exiling his own family, is a noble quality in a king. His reluctance to make exceptions, to make decisions according to the situation at hand, may bring unforeseen consequences.
Recognition of fault will prove to be an important theme in Oedipus Rex. This phrase foreshadows that refusing to accept the truth, or even simple ignorance, will be the downfall of several of the characters.
Oedipus's extreme altruism is surprising. It is actually very difficult to determine if he is truly the attentive and caring king he claims to be, or if he is selfishly motivated by the feelings of goodwill he might receive. This passage seems to foreshadow a conflict Oedipus might face between his well-being and his people's.
Considering that the events of this play follow a prophecy, this is a curious statement. It suggests that nothing is concrete, that the future is not necessarily determined by past mistakes, but by how one elects to fix--or ignore--those mistakes. This idea of the variability of the future, as well as the recognition of one's faults are themes that are brought up again later in the play.

BNP Paribas has been named Bank of the Year 2011 in the 'Operational Risk Management' category by Operational Risk & Regulation magazine.
The award recognises in particular the work carried out in recent years to integrate BNL, BNP Paribas Fortis and BGL BNP Paribas, and more specifically, for the approval the Bank has obtained for using an internal 'Advanced Measurement Approach'(AMA)* in calculating regulatory capital.
The award was made on the basis of voting by the Heads of Operational Risk Management at major international banks, a number of regulators, and Heads of Operational Risk at consultancy firms. It highlights the Group's strong risk culture, clearly recognised by our peers.
Press contact(s)
*AMA is the third option proposed by the Basel Committee for calculating capital allocated to operational risk. Under this approach, the regulatory capital is calculated using the bank's internal models. It is the only option that aims at reflecting the bank's actual risk profile.

Yankees hard to find in latest All-Star update
Over the weekend, Major League Baseball announced its latest voting update for next month's All-Star game. As expected, the Yankees have only one position player in the mix. Mariano Rivera will most certainly be on the roster, a good case can be made for Hiroki Kuroda and Dave Robertson, and it's certainly possible the players will vote for CC Sabathia. But it looks inevitable that Robinson Cano will be the only Yankees position players selected.
Here are the latest vote totals. The all-star rosters will be announced next Saturday, July 6.
1. Joe Mauer Twins 2,788,972
2. Matt Wieters Orioles 2,068,032
3. A.J. Pierzynski Rangers 1,054,093
4. Carlos Santana Indians 1,029,674
5. Jarrod Saltalamacchia Red Sox 966,196
Francisco Cervelli was actually playing at a potentially all-star pace before his broken hand. Mauer is the only American League catcher with an OPS higher than Cervelli's .877, and Cervelli threw out half of the guys who tried to steal against him. Chris Stewart has remained among the league's best at throwing out runners — and he's hit a little better than expected — but his lack of power clearly takes him out of the mix here.
1. Chris Davis Orioles 3,960,299
2. Prince Fielder Tigers 2,579,031
3. Mike Napoli Red Sox 902,562
4. Albert Pujols Angels 872,602
5. Mitch Moreland Rangers 750,674
Without Mark Teixeira, the Yankees are pretty far out of the mix here. Lyle Overbay has provided some unexpected offense — he's been an unexpected source of power against right-handers — but having to play everyday has really exposed his weakness against lefties. He's been a great help to the Yankees, but he's not in the same conversation as Davis or Fielder. If Edwin Encarnacion were listed as a first baseman instead of a DH he might be in the mix as well, but this spot clearly belongs to Davis.
1. Robinson Cano Yankees 3,032,183
2. Dustin Pedroia Red Sox 2,135,499
3. Ian Kinsler Rangers 1,329,136
4. Omar Infante Tigers 1,191,119
5. Jose Altuve Astros 850,577
Even in a down year, Cano has the highest OPS of all American League second basemen. Pedroia, Jason Kipnis and Ben Zobrist are right there with him in terms of RBI, but there's no AL second baseman hitting nearly as many home runs as Cano. He's clearly moving toward a fourth straight All-Star Game.
1. Miguel Cabrera Tigers 4,337,223
2. Manny Machado Orioles 2,097,804
3. Adrian Beltre Rangers 1,334,195
4. Evan Longoria Rays 1,106,984
5. Josh Donaldson Athletics 635,581
It's Kevin Youkilis who's on the ballot for the Yankees — not Alex Rodriguez — but the Yankees might have had a better chance had Rodriguez been listed. At least his name still carries some weight, and he's only played in 28 games less than Youkilis. Clearly the Yankees have no fighting chance here and shouldn't expect one. Rodriguez is still rehabbing, Youkilis just had surgery, and the combination of David Adams, Jayson Nix and Chris Nelson hasn't exactly been a juggernaut.
1. J.J. Hardy Orioles 2,548,682
2. Jhonny Peralta Tigers 1,838,500
3. Elvis Andrus Rangers 1,616,834
4. Jed Lowrie Athletics 1,207,486
5. Derek Jeter Yankees 819,175
Some folks just love Jeter, no matter what. Hardy, Peralta and Lowrie are each having all-star type seasons. Andrus isn't, but he's getting a sort of Jeter-treatment from the Rangers fans. Hardy has more homers and RBI than any other shortstop — and he's a fine defensive player — and he's getting the benefit of Orioles fans, who are clearly stuffing the ballot this season. Just check out the outfield.
1. Adam Jones Orioles 3,571,693
2. Mike Trout Angels 3,548,195
3. Nick Markakis Orioles 1,915,860
4. Jose Bautista Blue Jays 1,867,367
5. Torii Hunter Tigers 1,851,657
6. Nate McLouth Orioles 1,660,080
7. Nelson Cruz Rangers 1,595,371
8. Jacoby Ellsbury Red Sox 1,289,195
9. Alex Gordon Royals 1,239,771
10. Yoenis Cespedes Athletics 1,183,926
11. Coco Crisp Athletics 1,115,204
12. Austin Jackson Tigers 983,469
13. Josh Hamilton Angels 897,181
14. Shane Victorino Red Sox 823,636
15. Ichiro Suzuki Yankees 759,154
All three Orioles outfielders are having very nice seasons, but it's hard to imagine all three actually making the all-star game. Trout is insanely good, and Cruz is having a great year. Those two with Jones would probably be my vote. As for the Yankees, they have one outfielder in the top 15, but it's not the one who belongs there. Brett Gardner isn't having an all-star season, but he wouldn't be out of place on this list. He's getting a lot of hits, getting on base and playing good defense. Not an all-star, but the best of the bunch for the Yankees.
1. David Ortiz Red Sox 3,247,462
2. Lance Berkman Rangers 1,519,503
3. Edwin Encarnacion Blue Jays 1,091,593
4. Victor Martinez Tigers 959,646
5. Mark Trumbo Angels 919,036
Ortiz is both exceptionally good and exceptionally popular, so he's a natural at the top of this list. Encarnacion and Trumbo are on the ballot as designated hitters, but they've spent most of their time in the field this season. As for a second true DH, Travis Hafner actually has numbers about as good as anyone's. Berkman and Billy Butler gotten on base more often, but they haven't hit for Hafner's power. Despite being listed as a first baseman, Albert Pujols has primarily been a DH this season, and probably deserves the second spot on this list.

Microsoft Patchday April 2009: Eight updates released
As every month Microsoft delivered some security fixes for operating systems and other applications - this time eight bulletins are released.
On the April Patchday Microsoft has released eight updates to close different security leaks. Affected applications are Microsoft Office, the Internet Explorer and DirectX. The updates prevent attackers to load and run malware via the internet and cause trouble in the affected programs. The April updates are also said to fix the Excel problem that hasn't been fixed in March.
Furthermore the patch is supposed to fix another weak point in the forefront which would make it possible to paralyze the Microsoft security software. A security vulnerability in Powerpoint that has been announced in early April has not been dealt with though.
More details about the updates can be found in the "Security Bulletin Advance Notification". The patches can be applied via Microsoft Update.
