UBS Cuts Starbucks to Neutral
From Standard & Poor's Equity Research
UBS Financial downgraded Starbucks (SBUX) to neutral from buy, noting that the company's sales in June were disappointing.
Analyst David Palmer says Starbucks' June same-store sales (sss) were below his 8% estimate. He cut his 8% fourth quarter sss forecast to 6% due to a lower-than-expected boost from new Frappucino introductions. He keeps an 18 cents third quarter earnings per share (EPS) estimate and cuts his 18 cents fourth quarter EPS estimate to 17 cents. He thinks less EPS leverage in fiscal year 2007 vs. recent years is likely, with EPS growth moderating from 30%+ in fiscal year 2006 to around 25% in fiscal year 2007. He cites more China reinvestment and less lift from dairy costs. He also cut his $44 stock price target to $42.

President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan is expected to announce his resignation from office tomorrow on Independence Day. This information was conveyed to the Daily Times of Islamabad by a senior official in the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid which supports the president. The agreement dealing with his resignation indicates if he resigns prior to any impeachment process, he will be granted safe passage and allowed to leave the country without any punishment. There are reports President Musharraf is being urged in his resignation statement to apologize to the nation for sacking members of the Supreme Court last fall.
It is understood if he resigns President Musarraf will remain in the office of president for several days until he is able to formally shift power to the new president. He most probably will remain in his home for a few weeks and then leave the nation.
Asif Ali Zardari, co-chair of the Pakistan People's Party, made known he expects the resignation within the coming days and once it is announced he will bring together all parties in his coalition and work out who will become the president. Some sources suggest Zardari might assume that office, but this is still at a rumor stage.

Residency Curriculum
Rounds and Conferences
Teaching rounds on the inpatient services are conducted six days a week. A daily noon conference, with lunch, is a cornerstone of the teaching program. In July, August, and part of September the noon conferences are devoted to an acute medicine course primarily for interns. These sessions cover management issues related to commonly seen acute illnesses and also provide "how to" sessions for performing basic procedures like central venous catheterization. The rest of the noon conferences vary among specialty conferences, weekly medicine grand rounds, and a weekly ambulatory conference. Medicine Grand Rounds is generally patient based. The main presentation typically features a patient who is interviewed in front of those in attendance, illustrating an important aspect of the condition being discussed and emphasizing the importance of the patient-physician relationship. Some of our Grand Rounds presentations are featured publications in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
Morning report is held daily. The Program Director is the faculty discussant for one morning report each week and one session each month is a Morbidity and Mortality Morning Report led by the Vice-Chairman of Medicine. This conference provides a forum for house staff to discuss morbidity and mortality on the medical service and to address issues that could improve patient care. The conference differs from the "traditional" M&M at many institutions, which often focuses on individual error (and blame). House staff and the Vice- Chairman of Medicine discuss systems of practice that, if changed, might result in better patient care. Many specific changes in practice have been initiated as a result of the discussions at M&M morning report and the conference has established a culture in which house staff feel comfortable and empowered to address systems issues to affect change.
Chief-of-service rounds occur three times a week. At these rounds, which are mostly at the bedside, ward teams present challenging cases to the department chair and vice-chair and aspects of the history and physical examination, as well as important suggestions for patient management, are highlighted. Bayview emphasizes the importance of all members of the health care team in providing optimal care to patients. Thus, the nurse caring for the patient being discussed is invited to participate in – and contribute to – chief-of-service rounds as well. Subspecialty conferences are held throughout the week by each of the divisions. A departmental morbidity and mortality conference reviews selected cases, highlighting important points for both house staff and faculty, focusing on patient safety and quality.
House Staff Support and Role in Program Development
Hopkins Bayview has been a pioneer in providing house staff with a supportive atmosphere for training. Weekly support groups are facilitated by a primary care internist who has a special interest in medical education. These sessions provide protected time and a safe environment for interns and residents to share any aspects of their training experiences or personal lives.
A residency planning meeting, in which the assistant chiefs of service and house staff meet quarterly in a relaxed atmosphere, provides house staff a unique role in the development of the training program. Over the years, these meetings have been responsible for implementing the BASIC ambulatory curriculum, a night float system, a day float system, and changes in the call schedule. The Resident Wellness Committee plans informal social events and volunteer community service activities a few times each year. The house staff meet regularly with the assistant chiefs of service and one of the program directors for feedback and career counseling. Residents benefit from close relationships with advisors and mentors to help guide them through their training and chart their future careers. Social activities, such as holiday parties and picnics, are supported by the department of medicine to foster house staff-faculty interaction.
Alternative Pathways: Shared Residency And "Short-Tracking"
At the Johns Hopkins Bayview Internal Medicine Residency Program, we are invested in trying to adapt to our learners' needs. At times, the standard 3 year residency may not be the best fit for an individual. We support both a shared residency and the ABIM Research Pathway. In the shared residency, two residents "share" a position by each working half-time, completing the program over 6 rather than 3 years. In the research "short-track" program, residents who wish to seriously pursue careers in basic science or clinical research may elect to enter the research pathway from the ABIM after two years of categorical medicine training. Please note that applicants do not need to declare their intention for the research pathway before the NRMP match, but this should be discussed with the program director(s) during the PGY-1 year. Applicants interested in the shared residency should discuss this with the program director as soon as possible.

Are you gearing up to host an event for AOTA's National School Backpack Awareness Day? On Sept. 17, 2014, thousands of children across the U.S. will gather to learn about the importance of packing their backpacks wisely and the dangers of improperly carrying heavy loads. To help drive home the point that backpacks should weigh no more than 10% of a child's body weight, AOTA has created a new handout that will make it easier to relay the actual weight of the backpacks to students and parents. Download "My Backpack Weighs" or "My Bag Weighs" for your event here.
At your weigh-in event, simply write the weight of the child's backpack and check "Too Heavy" or "Just Right" at the bottom. Participants can take the handout home to their parents to raise awareness about the weight of their backpack. The handout also includes the web address containing AOTA's tips for packing and carrying backpacks.
The handout is perfect for sharing on social media! With permission, take photos to publicize your event. Be sure to include #BackpackSafety whenposting to Twitter and Instagram. (Note: You should be sure to have parents and guardians sign this photo permission form.)
AOTA held an informal Bag Weigh-In Event this week to see how AOTA staff members' bags stacked up. Participants liked the handout as a visual reminder of how heavy their load is and were happy to pose for a quick photo that we turned into a video to share on several social media platforms.
We welcome you to print and distribute our handout. And we wish you the very best of luck with your Backpack Day event!

As the hazy picture of next year's further education budget comes into sharper focus, a familiar suspicion is starting to creep through the sector. Colleges would appear once again to be propping up their higher education cousins. It certainly looks as though they will have to accept deeper financial cuts than universities.
Claims have been made that colleges have been asked by the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (Dius) to make larger savings than demanded by the Treasury in order to cover an expected overspend of £160m in financial support for university students.
If this analysis by the Association of Colleges (AoC) is correct, it can only worsen the anger and anxiety already pervading colleges. Some principals are now saying they have been duped once too often. Less than a year ago, the government couldn't give away the money in its flagship Train to Gain (T2G) programme and the resulting underspend – £200m – ended up plugging a hole in the higher education budget.
"We were then led to believe that Train to Gain was a bottomless pit of money," says Ioan Morgan, principal of Warwickshire College. "Some of us were naive enough to go along with that." At the start of this year, he says, colleges were told by their local Learning and Skills Council (LSC) officials that there was plenty of money in the T2G budget. But within months they were coming up against the reality that the coffers very definitely have bottoms. "We get seduced every time we hear the phrases 'bottomless pit' and 'demand-led'," says Morgan.
These sentiments are echoed in the private training sector, where companies are equally reliant on T2G funding. "There is a lot of gloom and despondency," says John Hyde, managing director of Hospitality Industry Training Ltd, a company started three years ago to respond to T2G, which now caters for 7,000 trainees. He has been told that his contract is to be cut by 75%.
Hyde says that the reason for the funding cuts are clear. The "flexibilities" – relaxations of the rules that governed T2G funding – announced by John Denham, the secretary of state for innovation, universities and skills, last autumn, when the scale of the downturn was starting to dawn on the government, have worked.
"Train to Gain took off with the result that there has now been an enormous overspend in the last quarter of the financial year," Hyde says.
Angry training company bosses prepared to vent their feelings on Siôn Simon, the FE minister, when he addressed their conference in Nottingham last week. Simon took the sting out of the attack with an impromptu preface to his speech. He said that the slashed budgets the companies had been informed about in letters from their LSCs were being revised. The suspicion that such letters should not be taken at face value is being applied by the AoC to recent letters from Denham about next year's budgets. To the LSC, Denham wrote that although he is expecting "additional cashable efficiency savings" of £340m from FE, there is to be a 4% "increase in resources for frontline teaching, learning and learner support, and development services" of £140m for adult students.
The AoC's chief executive, Martin Doel, has written to Denham for clarification. "We cannot reconcile these figures," his letter says. And why, he goes on to ask, is Dius "planning a larger saving from FE and skills than from the Higher Education Funding Council"? By the AoC's calculations, £340m represents 9% of FE's annual budget, while the HE teaching budget is to be trimmed by 3%, or £180m.
Moreover, the combined savings of £520m that FE and HE are being expected to make are a good deal heftier than the £400m the Treasury apparently demands. This has raised suspicions at the AoC, which has been informally told that the extra cuts are necessary to cover an expected overspend of £160m in HE student support.
After last year's diversion of T2G money to plug a hole in the university student support budget, this news is particularly galling for colleges. "Is it really the case that the beneficiaries of the FE system (adults on skills for life courses, lower skilled workers) will be facing a larger budget reduction to cover university grants and loans?" Doel's letter asks.
David Collins, principal of South Cheshire College and the AoC's president, says it is vital students do not bear the brunt. "Any cuts have to be on the fringes, on the supporting bodies," he says. But Labour is already committed to closing the LSC and transferring staff to two new quangos and local authorities. It is also committed to a massive expansion in the numbers of adults to be trained. The only way the teaching budget can be maintained is for the funding per student to be cut, the AoC concludes.
There will be no reduction in cash for FE, a Dius spokesperson said. "Far from cutting funding for FE, the budget and subsequent letter to the LSC confirm further rises in spending for next year. Indeed, taking into account the efficiency savings we'll make and the need to balance resources in the best interest of learners across all sectors, funding for FE frontline learning and teaching will rise by 4% next year."
Over the last decade, FE had enjoyed favourable investment compared with HE, he said. "This rise is against an overall, real-terms increase in spending for FE of 53% over the last decade. Our priority is to protect resources for learners and frontline teaching by colleges and providers, which is why we have asked the LSC to work with the sector to bear down on waste and administration, particularly in intermediary bodies."
Colleges say they are facing ongoing problems with the funding of 16- to 19-year-olds. Although more money was found in the chancellor's budget to cover the shortfalls in the LSC's letters to colleges at the end of March, it is unlikely to be adequate, says Nigel Robbins, principal of Cirencester College. He reckons it might barely cover the extra students many colleges took on last September. Robbins says he has a waiting list of 70 students who applied after his college's deadline at the end of March. Like most principals, he has previously squeezed them in, even though there has been no funding for them. But he says that he and other principals are no longer prepared to do so. "If they don't give me enough money this year," he says, "I really am going to shut the door on new applicants."

Eastern Standard(Kenya)
The exodus of skilled people from Africa is often blamed for the poor performance of African economies. It is estimated that up to 1.8 million Africans live in the diaspora. According to a recent World Bank study, "although skilled workers account for just four per cent of the Sub-Saharan labour force, they account for 40 per cent of its migrants."
The usual response is to seek to curb the flow of skilled people to other countries. This approach misses the point. The real policy challenge for Africa is learning to tap the expertise of those is diaspora for national and regional development.
So far much of the attention among developing countries has focused on benefiting from remittances. The global flow of remittances to developing countries now stands at $150 billion, exceeding foreign aid and becoming the main source of foreign earning for a number of countries.
But the focus on remittances is misguided. We are no longer in the traditional labour economy in which ones value in determined by wage earning. This is a carry-over from olden days when a lad fleeing the village was a real loss of labor power. Today we are in a knowledge economy governed by connectivity, mobility and interdependence.
The most notable case is the Taiwanese diaspora, which played a crucial role in developing the country's electronics industry. This was a genuine partnership involving the mobility of skills and capital. Countries such as India are now understudying this model.
A number of countries have adopted policy measures aimed at attracting expatriates to participate in the economies of their countries of origin. They are relying on the forces of globalisation such as connectivity, mobility, and interdependence to promote the use of diaspora a source of input into national technological and business programs. These measures include investment conferences, the creation of rosters of experts, and direct appeals by national leaders.
Efforts to encourage expatriates to return home often occur after countries emerge from periods of civil unrest or economic decline. Like other professionals, expatriates respond to incentives and a sense of purpose.
Policy measures
The most important starting point is, therefore, to establish a clear mission around which the diaspora can rally. The onus is on developing country governments to design programs and offer incentives that enable expatriates to contribute to national efforts.
Significant experiments are underway around the world to make effective use of their diaspora. The Swiss government has converted part of its consulate in Cambridge (Massachusetts, US) into a focal point for interactions between Swiss experts in the US and their counterparts at home.
The Swiss House was created in recognition of the importance of the area as the world's leading knowledge centre, especially in the life sciences. In addition to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Boston area is home to more than 50 colleges and universities and a cluster of biotechnology activities.
In another innovative example, the National University of Singapore has established a college at the University of Pennsylvania to focus on biotechnology and entrepreneurship. The complementary Singapore-Philadelphia Innovators' Network (SPIN) serves as a channel and link for entrepreneurs, investors, and advisors in the Greater Philadelphia region and Singapore.
SPIN seeks to create opportunities for collaboration and partnerships in the area.
India is introducing a number of policy measures — including granting dual citizenship to Indians in countries of strategic interest — aimed at strengthening the role of diaspora in national development.
This is a major change of policy, based on the study of how countries such as Taiwan have benefited from their diaspora. These approaches can be adopted by other developing countries, where the need to forge international technology partnerships may be even higher.
But there are also missed opportunities. Guyana has an estimated population of about 700,000 at home. But nearly 210,000 people of Guyanese origin live in the US, of whom about 65 per cent are in New York.
About 44 per cent of the Guyanese immigrants are US citizens, forming a strong bond between the two countries.
Guyanese immigrants in the US contribute significantly to the economy through remittances amounting to $150 million a year. But their impact could be greater if the focus included greater knowledge flows and technological cooperation.
The Dominican Republic, on the other hand, is actively designing a programme that would help the country benefit from its nationals living in the US.
These examples illustrate that need to complement concern over "brain drain" with new approaches that make effective use of the opportunities provided by the existence of large pools of expertise of expertise in diaspora.
Such efforts will require countries to look at globalisation in a new light and identify the opportunities that it offers to developing countries.
The old-fashioned metaphor of "brain drain" should to be replaced by a new view of "global knowledge flows".

Payday Loans Oshawa On
There can be unbearable stress related to any financial crises. With such a large financial burden, you need to need to get some assistance! If payday cash advances are something you happen to be pondering, read on so that you're equipped to generate the right decision.
Always know that the money that you just borrow from a payday loan will be paid back directly through your paycheck. You need to arrange for this. If you do not, in the event the end of your respective pay period appears, you will find that you just do not have enough money to cover your other bills.
If you are considering getting a payday loan to pay back a different personal line of credit, stop and think it over. It may end up costing you substantially more to work with this method over just paying late-payment fees on the line of credit. You will be tied to finance charges, application fees as well as other fees which are associated. Think for a long time if it is worthwhile.
Fees which are tied to pay day loans include many types of fees. You will need to study the interest amount, penalty fees of course, if there are application and processing fees. These fees will be different between different lenders, so be sure to look into different lenders before signing any agreements.
A great tip for anyone looking to remove a payday loan is usually to avoid giving your details to lender matching sites. Some payday advance sites match you with lenders by sharing your information. This can be quite risky as well as lead to a lots of spam emails and unwanted calls.
Do you have a critical expense? Do you need a little bit of help making it to your next pay day? You can get a payday advance to get you from the next little while. You can usually get these refinancing options quickly, but first you have to know some things. Here are some tips to aid.
Each payday advance companies will offer you a different amount to borrow. It'll depend upon how much income you're making. The amount you earn will be factored in by lenders to be able to calculate just how much money you may get. This is important to realize as you consider getting a payday advance to pay for something or another.
When looking for a quick payday loan vender, investigate whether or not they are a direct lender or perhaps an indirect lender. Direct lenders are loaning you their particular capitol, whereas an indirect lender is in the role of a middleman. The service is probably every bit as good, but an indirect lender has got to get their cut too. This means you pay an increased interest rate.
If you feel you've been taken advantage of with a payday loan company, report it immediately to your state government. If you delay, you could be hurting your chances for virtually any sort of recompense. As well, there are numerous people out there like you that need real help. Your reporting of those poor companies is able to keep others from having similar situations.
When determining if a payday loan is right for you, you need to understand that the amount most payday cash advances will let you borrow is not too much. Typically, the most money you may get from a payday advance is about $1,000. It could be even lower if the income is just not too high.

The Canadian National Railway Company said yesterday that it would pay $380 million to buy Great Lakes Transportation, improving its crucial rail link between western Canada and the United States. Canadian National, which is based in Montreal, said Great Lakes would add 285 million Canadian dollars to its annual revenue of more than 6 billion Canadian dollars ($4.5 billion) and should increase its profit. A spokesman for Canadian National declined to comment on possible job cuts. Under the deal, Canadian National will acquire two small railroads from Great Lakes, which is controlled by the Blackstone Group, a private investment firm.Continue reading the main story

What will you learn from this book?
What's so special about this book?
We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First JavaScript Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. This book replaces Head First JavaScript, which is now out of print.
Eric Freeman is described by Head First series co-creator Kathy Sierra as "one of those rare individuals fluent in the language, practice, and culture of multiple domains from hipster hacker, to corporate VP, engineer, think tank."

A great way to learn the basics
By MidMike
from Indiana
About Me Designer
I used this book in combination with some video tutorials from other websites, this book is great since it covers a little bit of everything. The biggest problem is with the ebook layout, some of the examples are too small to see so you miss out of some vital information. You can usually find it in the files so its not a total loss but it does make it more difficult to follow along.

great for beginners
By cuneyt
from istanbul
About Me Developer
Beginners will surely find the book very approachable and useful. Concepts and necessary information are provided in an easily comprehensible way. There is however one issue that impatient beginners might find cumbersome : some new information or concepts are allocated lots of pages in different types of contents. But as it is stated at the beginning of the book this may be necssary if the information is needed to be well formed and placed in our brains or memory maps. I just sometimes thought that those concepts might have been summarized in less pages. Other may prefer otherwise. Apart from that, an excellent book that a majority of beginners will get what they need.

Take a pencil and scribble into the book - really - make the exercises and scribble right into it. You will be surprised how much this helps to learn this stuff. And don't take yourself to serious, the authors really know how to teach you JavaScript. It's my second "Head First" book and it sure will not be the last one.

Great book - awful ebook
By acalder
from Burnaby, BC
About Me Educator, Long Time Web Developer
I am really diving into JavaScript after years of hacking at it to do what I needed it to. I have reviewed some shorter tutorials but decided to go through an entire text, cover to cover. This book had some great reviews and while it seemed a bit cloying at times, it seemed to be the right book to cover the gaps in my knowledge.My issue is that as an ebook, it's awful. Why? A considerable portion of the book uses a handwriting-style font that is not actually a font at all, but an image instead. The way the book is constructed, the image size doesn't change when you make the font larger, so the tiny handwriting stays tiny. On top of that, it's a middle-grey so it's not terribly easy to see in the first place.Additionally, it's impossible to interact with ANY of the examples. Why? Because ALL of the examples are simply images, even the ones that are 100% text. If you wanted to add your own notes, or highlight a section of an example, too bad - it won't work.As a test, I tried my other ebooks to see if the font size in the examples, sidebars, quotes and/or figures would change - all of them did except for this book. I think this book could have been planned better for ebook deployment, but it's clear they did zero work on making it more accessible for readers on a digital format. As I said in the title, I think the book is great, in printed form only. As an ebook it falls down terribly - not worth the cost.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Greetings acalder,Thank you for reviewing Head First JavaScript Programming. I'm sorry that the font and formatting of this ebook made it hard for you to fully enjoy it. I will make the appropriate team aware of this. I am glad that found this book to be a great place for a beginner to gain knowledge of JavaScript.

As with other 'Head First' books, this is just like them. dood, practical knowledge and examples.
Terrific way to learn
By Derek - closet programmer
from Seattle
The book gives hands on examples that are really interesting and fun to do. The best way to learn is to do, and this book is designed around that principle. There are plenty of things to do, and all are designed to not only inform, but help retain the information. The style is more conversational, but the material is complete. If you want a reference manual, this is not it. If you want a fun way to learn a ton of great content, this is second to none.

It's effective and works for me!
By BeachBum
from Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic
About Me Designer, Developer, Educator, Sys Admin
I am not a computer novice. I am studying JavaScript and have tried several ebooks without really retaining what the author is trying to present. I am only 2/3 of the way through Chapter one of this ebook. I am substituting hands on computer work for pencil and paper to work the "homework" problems and finding my "coding" errors is becoming much easier. The book is also teaching learning techniques that work well for me.When I finish the book, I expect to upgrade my review to 5 stars.
Definitely worth a look
By sherringham

About Me Developer, Sys Admin
The "Head First" series are unique in the way they try and teach their subject. Perhaps an acquired taste for some.Head First Javascript is very good. I'm trying to learn JS and have been for a while now. Not a complete novice but needing to work at the "idiomatic" side of the language. I worked through this book quickly, doing the exercises, and not only enjoyed it, also got a better understanding of some aspects e.g closures. Clear and easy to follow, even as it gets into the deeper parts of the language. This book is not for those with good JS experience, or experts. But it will be good for the novice and people with some JS knowledge starting out.

Get started in Javascript!
By AJ Speller
from Virginia Beach, VA
About Me Developer, Educator
I want to be totally transparent by saying that I contributed to the text by receiving advanced copies of the chapters and gave feedback to the authors.I use the book to brush up on the idiosyncrasies of the language and to learn new techniques in delivering the information should I return to the college campus. I am also an enthusiast that likes to take on projects and other hackathons. This text helps me to keep my skills sharp.This is a great book to get anyone started in programming in Javascript. The examples are interesting. They are long enough to get the point across yet short enough to keep a new learner from being bogged down in complicated details. I used to be an adjunct professor teaching javascript. This book would have been a great text to use for the course.The HeadFirst style of writing has always been of great interest to me. I love the easy to read diagrams, repetition, humor and examples that can be integrated in larger projects. I look forward to a follow up to this text in the HeadFirst HTML5 Programming text.I highly recommend this text.Respectfully,AJS

But that could be due to the fact that it is a low res screenshot. i assume the psd wouldn't have this artifact issue.
But i still would like to know what was wrong with this file just to understand and improve my own work.
It seems like noone finds anything wrong with it except the reviewer:
). Hqm could you please help out here:)?
I not only updated my avatar but also added a new profile image similar to a rejected business card I created and am currently redesigning to get it accepted:-).
Good advice is to align the arm rests of your chair with your desktop, possibly add a footrest so your legs are in a perfect angle. Get a good chair. Use anti RSI software which reminds you of taking breaks and suggest some small exercises. A very good one is http://www.workpace.com/rsi-software-download/ Remove your mouse and get a pen and tablet. Use a powerball to strengthen your arms.
I appreciate your help and I did try to play with the shadows to change the effect. It does change it, just not the way I like it. That's probably the problem. I have an idea of what I like but that is not always what would sell:-D.
By changing the shadows the pressed effect is even less because of the dark text and dark background. That's why I added the dropshadow the way it is (which gives it that glow effect) without that, there is hardly any pressed effect left and in print it wouldn't work at all.
But I am going to give it another try and do a re-design.
Thanks again for taking the time to have a look and give some advice! It's highly appreciated.
The reviewer also talked about a glow which i didn't use:-). How some effects can create a glow is actually very nice (obviosuly not in this case but Photoshop is so great!).
I really appreciate the suggestions made here and by the reviewer and I will start redisigning my card to get some better results.
However I do have one more question. The reviewer dind't think my text was pressed. As I told him there are many different levels and styles of pressed text (as can be seen by my avatar and iWebdezine's avatar, both pressed and bot very different) but mine was in my opnion definately pressed. Am I totally wrong is it really not pressed?
Just curious about this.
Anyway as said above, the help is appreciated!
I created a black businesscard with pressed text, which has been rejected. In regards to the backside of the card I can understand why, even though I don't quit know how to make it better, in regards to the frontside of the card, I personally don't think it needs improvement.
Still, it seems that all in all the card is not good enough. Could I get some advice on how to make it better?
I tried to keep the card simple and clean, because the pressed text was what made it special (well in my mind:-)).
Take a look at the front side of the card here if you want: http://home.tiscali.nl/gggev/DarkPressedFRONT.jpg
and here is the back side of the card: http://home.tiscali.nl/gggev/DarkPressedBACK.jpg
Any advice is appreciated. Please specify if you are talking about the front- or backside of the business card.
What was the song?
Is there any news on the winner?
Who won with what song?
How can I get Expression Engine to remove their menu because it infringes on my copyright. I have made many menu's like that.
I would also appreciate they remove their footer copyright and links information because it is similar to some I made, not to mention the fact that they use rounded rectangles which are similar to some of my own work.
This is plainly a ridiculous demand on their part.
What disturbs me is this part:
This was brought to our attention by someone in the Theme Forest community and we followed up from there.<<
why would that person contact Ellislab instead of Envato like they should have?
Ipad you beat me to it, I was just writing them an email asking for some explanation on this when I did a final check here to see if there were any updates.
Well done sir!

Painting an engine!
Hey guys... my engine is already painted orange.... i did it in November when I put a 350 in my car.... but some has peeled off one of my valve covers and..... after consulting a friend's father who did his whole engine while it was in his truck..... he's restored a 72 Chevy Pickup and before that did a body-off with a 66 Nova..... anyway.... he uses primer on the engine before painting it.... I brought this up with my grandfather, who is 82 years old and has been a mechanic since he was 20.... He said that's rediculous and you should never use primer on an engine.... he said he's never heard of anybody ever doing that before.... and then went into stories about painting engines in the 30's and 40's....... lol..
So anyway... does anyone here use primer when they paint an engine?
No Primer
Nope, I dont use it either. POR-15 and Eastwood both make nice engine paint kits. The basics of them are a clean surface. Many cleaners leave a residue, so they provide cleaners that address that problem. Both of those kits allow for being applied with a small brush, which is included in the kit.
I have tanked motors after painting them with the POR product and it stayed right on there. Also, I believe that both products cure better once the block is heated up.
hr41pearl :cool:
Been discussed several times on the board. Like Tom said, cleanliness is the key, no matter what you use. I normally powder coat my engines but those that I paint, I use etching primer, hi-build primer, & BC/CC urethane, just like a body. Holds up to heat great, grease, & gas & looks like a million.

I just picked up Katie's cremation remains this morning. I feel so much better having her back with me.
They really did a beautiful job and I thank Delaware Pet Cremation for that.
She's at peace. . . . . .
As you are all aware I had to let Katie go last Friday, she was suffering so.
She was ready and I was there with her as she closed her eyes for the last time. (tears) She went peaceably and and gracefully.
I miss her so much! But I am so glad she is in no more pain and will suffer no more. She was my laughter in life, such as Brandy was my sunshine.
Brie and I thank everyone so much for their support and encouragement during these last few weeks - It really meant so much to us.
We are coping the best we can and have each other still.
Thank you all,
Gail & Brie
I think tomorrow is going to be Katie's last day.
I was hoping for maybe Monday but she's in so much misery....
She won't eat, all she does is lay outside, her legs tremble while walking - she can barley make it up the steps. I have a hard time getting her medication down, and even then it is just a few of the many medications she is on, I don't think she can hear anymore, she has both an ear infection and a huge hot spot on her back inside leg.
Watching her it torturous. When she is outside laying flies are all over her and she doesn't even have the energy to care.
I think it's time to let her out of her misery....... :(

It's no "argument" in my opinion, it's simply what different people like. I personally don't want a repro body ,but would love to build a T bucket with a glass body so go figure.
There are piles of repro body parts out there to save the original steel bodies, where does it stop being original and become repro?
How about a Fiat altered drag car I would love to do one of those too, and it would be glass. So there is a gray area in my head too.
But many people there simply isn't an issue at all, a car body is a car body and if it looks like a 32 Ford coupe and but was made last week out of fiberglass it is exactly the same to them and real, as if it was "real" steel. So there are many views on the subject.
I don't think fiberglass or steel repro bodies are going away, ever. Companies come and go for a number of different reasons is how I see it. This custom "37 Ford" body we are talking about has either ran it's course and people are sick of it or the company simply folded do to poor management or they simply retired who knows. But if it is gone for ever you can bet in a few decades someone will be dying to own a "retro" custom body and pay big bucks for one.
"Is the era of the fiberglass custom coming to an end?"
Of course it is, fiberglass is just too 1950's to be used today. Too expensive for materials and skilled labor, too easy to screw it up, uses too much space to store, ect. Why do you think GM switched over to SMC years ago.
Nanocellulose is cheaper, lighter, stronger, better, easier to produce, safer to use and store, ect. It will be hitting the market shortly then the 'economics of scale' will work for nano and against fiberglass. Yes, nano can even be made from 'pond scum', blue/green algae purpose grown at a production plant.
Welcome to the 21st century.
Yeah... Seems to be heading to a steel is real thing... Seen this coming a mile away..
One of my friends and I argued over this last night. He's never build a classic car, but hes bought several. He's insistent on 'old school' and 'if it aint steel, it aint real' so, to Brian's point, does that make a Dearborn Deuce 'real' and a Downs car 'unreal'?
I casually reminded him that corvettes, kaiser darrins, and Berkleys to name a few are OEM 'glass cars; AND the 'glass T-bucket IS 'old-school.' Glass T-buckets ARE retro.
Its different strokes for different folks. I like a steel car just fine, I appreciate the history and age and craftsmanship that comes with it. However, I also know that building a quality 'glass bodied car has its own challenges and I can certainly respect a well executed build and design. Neither one is easier, or even cheaper...just different.
I think the 'problem' with the 'glass cars is that they tend to follow hot rod/street rod trends. After about 10 years and 100 grand, you're still left with a '37 ford ish' that is hard to title, teal, has grey tweed, billet rims and a digital dash. Maybe thats what you always wanted, and YOU LOVE IT, but its going to be a hard sell without re-inventing it. And some of these cutting edge designs are hard if not almost impossible financially to re-invent into something current and fresh.
Did we ever think the humble T-bucket would still be soldiering on? There has to be a million of em it seems; and they're STILL churning out new kits.
It wont die; the core group, the innovators, will give glass cars a facelift (carbon fiber or nano tech) and it'll come back for 20yrs
I think that loving 'glass cars takes some experience with both kinds of bodies. I've spent almost fifty years working on both.
You haven't lived until you chase a dent on a metal car ALL THE WAY DOWN THE QUARTER PANEL! Or you've struggled to make hand-made patch panels that look like the original shape of the car! In the end, what you have in a car like that, is one that LOOKS virgin, but you know that underneath it is a "quilt work" of patches and body filler!
On the other had, fiberglass will NEVER EVER rust out, and is very easily repaired to it's original strength and shape. You won't need anything other than saws and sanding supplies. But you won't need a wire feed, torches or metal working equipment... and with a little research, you can do it your self!
Another added benefit is the ability to easily modify it... or even produce your own design from nothing.
If you can't mentally get past the material it's made of... and move on to enjoying it, then you'd better just chose steel and the problems that go with it. That way you can tell people "it's a steel body". Which won't change the way it looks even one little bit.
My advise to go steel would be depending on the project itself. Not just a general statement.
In the end, 'glass is much better to work with, and to own... steel is better if it is a car with historic significance, and the sale price would be greatly affected.
Do you build your cars to "own"... or to "sell"???
In the end, it is whatever you personally prefer. You should satisfy yourself, so this hobby is more fun for you. Not try to build what everyone else "approves of".
That is why the cars of recent years are so boringly "generic". Because everybody had become too aware of public opinion. The hot rodders of the past were rebels!!! They did what they pleased, and if someone was shocked or disapproved... that was even better!!! :-)
@TusconJay... Well stated. I hankered after one of those '37-'40 bodies for a few years, but when it came time to build something, I went for the classic '34 chopped coupe. It isn't one of Henry's (I looked for a year for one to re-do) but it isn't a fantasy - almost a '37... not quite a '40 either - car either. A tight, well designed 'glass repro will do nicely, thank you.
On the turn-table at SEMA they are stunning, but they aren't 'real'... so how do you know if it's been done 'right'? The owner is the only one who knows, everyone else has to assume he got what he wanted with a slammed, chopped, sloped, '40 front end on a '37 body show car.
I get a kick out of seeing one of those $100K marvels at a show... perfect, but without any weather stripping around the doors. You know it's a trailer queen.
"It wont die; the core group, the innovators, will give glass cars a facelift (carbon fiber or nano tech) and it'll come back for 20yrs "
The largest user of fiberglass materials is the boating industry that crashed with the housing bust and has not fully recovered. This stuff has a shelf-life so they have reduced production and raised prices, killing the bottom line for small companies.
Carbon fiber and Kevlar ramped-up production for the Boeing Dreamliner so they are both getting cheap(er). They still have all the production problems of fiberglass (too much space and labor cost).
Nano-tech can be injection molded, eliminating the labor costs and production problems. In all likelihood it can be 3D printed for prototypes and small parts.
Nano-tech is GREEN and FOREIGN OIL INDEPENDENT so tax credits, tax breaks and funding are politically motivated and guaranteed. With no downside, too many upsides and virtually unlimited, well funded customers, nano-tech should be commonplace within 5 years. The ultimate 'bodyman in a can' so to speak.
Kit cars will be here forever, they'll just be different.
The funny thing about the whole "steel is real" line is that was from a time that there were no steel bodies or even fenders being made! Back in seventies I presume is when that term came about. Now, it would be more like "original is real", a Brookville roadster is no more a "real" Model A Ford than a Polyform fiberglass one, it's just just a more accurate copy. One can't even say anything about the "quality" because that is an opinion. Where as a guy who loves fiberglass would say it's "better" someone else would disagree.
Like I said before, a fiberglass T bucket is a million miles from a real Model T made by Ford, in every way shape or form, but I love them. On the same note, I get a kick out of "original" cars and knowing that this car hauled a baby home from the hospital, you know what I mean?
But on that note, what about the car made from swap meet pieces and assembled, is it a "real" Model A Ford? LOL, there's a hook for you.
How about my truck, only two panels on the entire truck came from the same truck, and they don't even match the pink slip, the two front fenders. There aren't two other matching parts, doors rear fenders running boards nothing. Hell, it's had THREE frames, THREE different cabs, multiple doors, multiple hoods, every single piece of the bed including the fenders came from different trucks. The only thing that goes with the pink slip (I am pretty sure because it's a, 80 mph) is the speedometer! It is only a tiny bit more "real" than a Dynacorn steel reproduction! LOLOL Same with my Gran Sport, one door, the body structure it's self and one fender are all that is original.
But when I drive my Gran Sport all that is forgotten of course.
Times are changing.
you don't pay your self body labor.. the rest of us. have to farm out a chop. patches, etc..
the problem is 2 fold
1) allot of states require you to title it as the year built, or engine used, my state requires engine year.. that makes it tuffer to pass the emmissions test..
2) the people that want these things are getting older.. I can't see many 20-30y/o wanting a model a or t..
4) some companies that have been around owners might want to retire.. and an employee that might want to take it over might not get a loan to do so..
5) most want way to much for there incomplete kit..
the new bix model is a kit that gives you everything needed- engine/trans/rear and is not priced to the moon..FFR allows you to buy and build in 2 stages.. #1 the roller.. #2 the body/interior.. making it easier to afford.. and even at one shot.. isn't all that much when you factor in ,no need for a donor car..
For a lot of us old time hotrodder we hate to think about it but the 30-40s cars are slowly losing their appeal. I grew up car wise in the mid 60's to early 70. I'am more into those cars than I am a 30 ford roadster. Do you think the young kid today thats into the turbo charged rice grinders when he gets in his 50-60's and maybe has a little extra cash and more free time,and thinking about his younger days is going to say gee I think I'll build me a fiberglass 1933 ford three window?
A while back I posted about a guy I met at a cruise with a Willys gasser. He wanted a 'real steel' body to start with. He found a basket case - no problem, he's a sheet metal worker. He cut up sedan as a donor car for the cowl and floor, and some pieces to fill in the third of the roof that was missing. He spent 5 years working on that body. He borrowed a pair of doors to line up his body work. When he tried to buy steel doors, he had a very hard time finding any. One pair he found the guy wanted $5000 for! He bought fiberglass doors, rear fenders, and a one-piece fiberglass tilt front end. His body was at least 50% fiberglass, but if you asked him, I'll bet he would say it's 'real steel'. I don't care what it was made out of, it looked cool and he was having a blast driving it.
easier said than done..

If you have an emergency, follow these steps:
If you can, go to the hospital ED closest to you right away.
If you cannot get there right away, or if it is not safe to take yourself, call 911 or your police emergency number.
Tell your doctor about the emergency. Call within 24 hours of going to the ED.
If you cannot call, have someone call for you.
Go to your doctor (not the ED) for any follow-up care.

Dear Tax Talk,
Are investment fees tax-deductible? I understand that individual retirement account fees deducted from the investment account are not tax-deductible. I also see that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are deductible. My question is: If I pay a large brokerage firm to manage my IRA and it charges fees to the account, are these fees tax-deductible since I am taking an annuity from the account and it is included in my taxable income?
-- Vince
Dear Vince,
Certain IRA administrative fees, whether or not you're currently taking distributions, are deductible, but they have to be paid by the account owner's non-IRA funds. You're right that investment fees paid to produce taxable income are tax-deductible. These expenses are miscellaneous itemized deductions subject to an overall reduction of 2 percent of adjusted gross income.
The key to deducting the IRA fees is to cut a check or use a credit card to pay the broker the annual maintenance fees. For example, if your broker charges you $150 for the IRA annually, you need to pay this to the broker from non-IRA assets for it to be deductible. The payment is not considered an additional contribution, but rather a miscellaneous itemized deduction.
On the other hand, if your broker charges a 1 percent-of-asset-value fee to invest your IRA, these fees cannot be reimbursed to the IRA. That would be considered an additional contribution as it is not an administrative fee. Since your broker is deducting this from your IRA, this investment charge is not deductible to you as it is coming out of pretax dollars.

It's hardly surprising that people love the things they build themselves. This is what kept Heathkit going beyond the point it made economic sense to buy a kit that cost more than buying something assembled in a store (although the economic realities caught up to them eventually).
I should know. I have built a bunch of Heathkits, a couple of pieces of audio equipment, a couple of guitar effects boxes and my own tube guitar amp. I'm in the process of building a Stratocaster-style guitar. I prize them all, thank you.

It does work fine in Firefox when run off a local webserver on my hard drive. Poking around with Firebug shows that Firefox does wonky things on the network--trying to download the entire video, for instance. Expected results: The page should have worked as well as it does in Chrome.

Based on a quick test, FF15 seems to behave no better than FF17.

FF23.0.1 is still unhappy.
Is it possible to attach a reduced testcase showing the issue?
Comment 5•

Attaching won't work because of large media files. Also, there seems to be a timing component to this, since everything works fine if I serve the content from my local machine. For what it's worth, I've made a reduced version of the player that shows the same issue: http://tiker.net/inteq13/html/player-simple.html

In the debug window that pops up, you should at some point see "new state: paused", as you do in Chrome. Firefox never gets to this state for me. On FF23, I see a hang on "Stream {left,right}-audio loading media...".

Yes, that's the desired behavior--it means the streams have finished buffering.
Comment 10•
4 years ago
Just tried a nightly (26.0a2). The hang persists for me. Note that this appears to have something to do with connection speed--see my comment above on how things work well for me when using a local HTTP server. I'm on a 3Mbps cable line.

The testcase works erratically on my FF23, I need to reload the page 4 or 5 times.
Comment 12•

I've observed that hitting the "seek to start" button in the full-scale player will usually fix things in FF23.

Andreas: can you still reproduce these video problems? I tested in Firefox 27, Aurora 29, and Nightly 30. The video seems to load (and then I can click play) in Nightly 30. In Firefox 27 and Aurora 29 the video looks like it is stuck in the loading state, but if I click ahead in the video timeline, then the video seems to load as expected. Maybe this is race condition related to order in which video events are delivered to the content? Unfortunately, the http://www.cims.nyu.edu/ server itself kept crashing ("Service unavailable!") when I was testing these videos.
Comment 14•

Still an issue for me with Firefox 27--stuck on loading. Haven't tried the nightly.
Comment 15•
3 years ago
Nightly almost works for me. If I load the video directly from http://www.cims.nyu.edu/~kloeckner/hpc12-video/upload/video/2012-09-05-room.webm it works fine, so the server seems to have enough bandwidth. But in Nightly on Windows the page loads up to the seeking state, but playback the video playback never starts when I load the page itself. If I load right click and opt to show controls I can start playback using the in built controls. The page must be expecting us to fire an event... Andreas: You know your own code much better than we do, it would be great if you could track down the behaviour difference between Chrome and Firefox that's causing your video player to not start playback. Maybe start by looking at what event your player is waiting on to start playback?
Comment 16•

The code waits for a can_play event, then executes a seek and waits for a seek_complete. The seek_complete usually doesn't arrive.

Kingmambo, an 18-year-old son of Mr. Prospector who stood for a $300,000 fee when the current yearling crop was conceived in 2006, was represented by three yearlings that averaged $875,000. He stood for a $250,000 fee in 2008.
A.P. Indy, the Lane's End stallion who topped the list during the Sept. 8 first session, had 10 yearlings sell during the second day for an average price of $631,500. His yearlings included the session topper, a colt out of the Halo mare Taegu, with $300,000 the lowest amount paid for one of his yearlings during the session.
A.P. Indy, who stood for $300,000 in 2006, was also the leading sire of yearlings for the first two days of the sale, with 21 yearlings selling for a gross of $13,590,000, an average price of $647,142.
El Prado, who stands at Frank Stronach's Adena Springs near Paris, Ky., was the third-leading sire during the second session, with three yearlings averaging $615,000, a healthy return on the 2006 fee of $125,000 for the 19-year-old son of Sadler's Wells.
Fourth- and fifth-leading sires Sept. 9 were Storm Cat and Distorted Humor . Storm Cat, the 25-year-old son of Storm Bird who stood at the Young family's Overbrook Farm before being pensioned earlier this year, had nine yearlings average $568,889.
Distorted Humor, a 15-year-old son of Forty Niner who stood for a 2006 fee of $150,000 at Bill Casner and Kenny Troutt's WinStar Farm near Versailles, Ky., was represented by 11 yearlings that averaged $504,091.

Football Releases 2014 Schedule
March 11, 2014
CINCINNATI - The American Athletic Conference and the University of Cincinnati jointly released the Bearcats 2014 football schedule.
The Bearcats, 9-4 a year ago under first-year Head Coach Tommy Tuberville, will open the 2014 campaign with a nationally televised game on Friday, Sept. 12 against the Toledo Rockets in Paul Brown Stadium.
UC will play its six home games downtown this year due to the $86-million Nippert Stadium Renovation & Expansion Project that is scheduled for completion in August 2015.
"It's an exciting time with spring football going and our schedule being released," Tuberville said. "We are certainly looking forward to some great matchups, strong national television exposure and the chance to build on what we started here in 2013."
UC will face Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 20 at PBS before hitting the road to Columbus to take on Ohio State on Saturday, Sept. 27.
The Bearcats open American play on Saturday, Oct. 4 against Memphis at PBS before closing out the non-league season with a road matchup at Sun Life Stadium against the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, Oct. 11.
UC travels to Dallas, Texas to face SMU on October 18 ahead of a Friday-night ESPN/ESPN2 matchup with USF inside PBS on Oct. 24.
The Bearcats play their second-straight Friday-night contest at Tulane with a Halloween night matchup scheduled against the Green Wave.
After a bye on Nov. 8, UC faces East Carolina on Nov. 15 at PBS before a pair of road contests at UConn (Nov. 22) and Temple (Nov. 29) before closing out the regular season on Dec. 6 against Houston.
Game time and additional television opportunities will be released as they become available. All times and dates are subject to change.
"Looking forward, we also thought it was critical to give our fans a marquee opponent inside the newly renovated Nippert Stadium in 2015," Tuberville said. "I am excited that the department is working hard on things that will make our season downtown in Paul Brown special. I believe our fans will be excited and we truly need their support. We will continue to seek out the best possible schedule that gives us the optimal chance to be successful on a national stage."
Fans interested in purchasing 2014 football season tickets can visit GoBEARCATS.com/tickets or call 1-877-CATS-TIX to make deposits. Please note this is for new season ticket accounts only. Existing season ticket renewals for 2013 customers will go out at the end of February.
