Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/4/2014 (1162 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Picture this: sipping a beer with friends on a new downtown patio located at a restored historic Brandon landmark.
That is part of the vision Samson Engineering Inc. has for the former fire hall — a designated heritage building — on Princess Avenue.
"It's a wonderful opportunity. I hope to preserve it for future generations," said Phil Dorn, senior engineer and president of Samson Engineering.
"I think it's a wonderful building. It's not too tired and it can be repurposed for this very, very nicely."
Samson Engineering's proposal for the building was accepted by city council earlier this month. They will be the new owners of the building, at a cost of $100,000.
Dorn said it is important to keep the historic building as close to its original design as possible.
"We don't want to change the outside, you can't, and you don't want to," Dorn said. "We'd … put it back to the way it was and its iconic colours."
The 103-year-old building was known as the Central Fire Station No. 1. It stands on the site of its 1882-93 predecessor. The architecture combines Chateauesque style with an Italianate tower. The structure includes red brick, a steeply-pitched roof with protruding dormers, and wrought-iron balconies beneath the brackets of the bell tower.
It has been largely out of use since Brandon Fire and Emergency Services moved into a new facility on 19th Street North in 2010. Since then, the old fire hall has been used for some emergency training purposes.
"To see something like that lie in waste is a tragedy for Brandon and I would really like to see something happen to it," Dorn said. "And I have every intention of doing that."
In addition to the outdoor patio, Samson's proposal for the main floor includes the potential for a restaurant, café, bistro, pub, bakery, or other tenants.
Dorn said the company is still in the "blue sky thinking" phase, and is making contacts with potential tenants.
"We're going to see what we can have materialize," he said.
Depending on who comes forward, the main floor could be several different shops, or one large restaurant or brew pub.
"If you're going to have the evening crowd, you want to have beer and food ... a good restaurant, and we'd like that for downtown," Dorn said. "We want people to be downtown, so we'd like to do that."
Dorn said ideally they would figure out a way to attract the day and evening crowd.
"If you put a restaurant in here ... you don't have the morning crowd, so it's actually a very challenging problem and to find a solution to it, is not immediately evident as to which way to go," he said. "But I want the a.m. and the p.m. crowd."
Phase 2 and 3 of Samson's proposal would consist of the development of the second and third floors into possibly rental and/or condo apartments, commercial offices, an educational or medical facility, banquet facility or museum.
Dorn said there are many possibilities, and it all depends on who shows interest in the building.
"I would love to see something happen by fall, because I don't want to sit on this," he said. "But not all the variables are in my control. Insofar that they are in my control, we're going to try to make it happen very quickly. We have a little bit of a track record at being successful at it, but … you need to be blessed sometimes at how things come together."
Dorn has plans to restore the interior of the building to what it originally was, and would like to see it as an open concept.
"If you go into a bistro, or a deli and there's brick walls, it's beautiful, it speaks to you," he said. "It has a timeless component to it that is very hard to identify, but it's absolutely gorgeous."
Samson Engineering, located a few blocks away from the fire hall at the corner of Princess Avenue and 10th Street, has experience in downtown renovation projects.
The firm designed the new Westman Immigrant Services facility, which is located in the old CP Rail building on Pacific Avenue. They also converted an old pool hall into what is now the Seventh Street Health Access Centre.
Most recently, Samson redeveloped 440 Rosser Ave., where MX Group is now a tenant. They also designed pocket housing at the back of that property.
"We're really trying to improve the downtown," Dorn said. "I love Brandon. Brandon's a beautiful, wonderful little town ... I want all good for it, that's certainly our intention."
The city's municipal heritage advisory committee is pleased to see redevelopment plans in the works for the old fire hall.
Corey Roberts, committee chair, and the city's Rosser ward councillor, said there was a sense of relief when Samson's proposal was approved.
"It's a designated landmark, and a real ... corner stone to the downtown," Roberts said. "It's a landmark and needed to be maintained, and brought back to life ... so it's hugely important."
As it was designated a municipal heritage site in 2000, a heritage permit must be taken out when work is being done.
"If there's anything being done to what is deemed as an important heritage aspect of the building it has to go through the approval process," Roberts said. "That's a guideline through the province's Heritage Resources Act ... it's not just a city bylaw but also a provincial document."
The heritage committee plans to work closely with Samson Engineering as they move forward with the redevelopment. The goal is to help them streamline the process, not hold them up, Roberts said.
"We don't want to extend any of their deadlines, we want to help them reach their deadlines, so we'll do what we can to help with that process," he said.
Renaissance Brandon chair Shaun Cameron said Samson's plans for the building will help the downtown stay vibrant after-hours.
"I think it's great that they're looking to have people down there after dark and make it a place that people want to visit," he said.
From a heritage standpoint, Cameron said revamping the building is "tremendously important."
"Recognizing that it has a point in Brandon's history, that it was important," he said. "They're going to bring an old building back to life in the downtown, we're excited about it."

Centralia man seriously injured in crash
THOMPSON, Mo. - A Centralia man was seriously injured in an early Sunday morning car crash in Audrain County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 21-year-old Justin Aleshire was driving eastbound on Highway 22 near Thompson around 4 a.m. when the accident happened.
Troopers say Aleshire's car crossed the center line, traveled off the left side of the road then swerved back across the center line and off the right side of the road before hitting a tree.
Aleshire was transported by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia with serious injuries.
A passenger, Tresor Kasara, 20, of Columbia, suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Audrain Medical Center.
Troopers say both Aleshire and Kasara were wearing seat belts.

|Coolant Leak; coolant leaking from behind water pump.
|Tweet Topic Started: Sep 28 2011, 11:22 AM (6,342 Views)
|Sep 28 2011, 11:22 AM Post #1
New to forum,
I searched a little for the topic im about to post, but im still learning how this works...(this has probably been addressed before)
I bought a very neglected 2000 chevy metro 1.0L, im not going to list all the things ive done...you guys have already been there...heres the dealie-O.
Original water pump was leaking and time to replace. After the project was completed and leak checked...took the beast for a spin, when I checked again for leaks, i noticed a coolant weep BEHIND the pump...hard to see, but it looks like the supply into the pump (metal pipe that runs from the top radiator hose all the way around back to the pump) not a bad leak, but it bugs me...there is no reference to this in my haynes manual...did i miss something here? how do you fix this little gem? I attached a photo...taken from the back towrds the front of the car.

|Without going into great detail about how to do the repair, there is an o ring on the tube. Remove the tube and replace the o ring. Hardware store o rings work well.

|okay...do you un-bolt the tube and pull it out from behind??? or will i have to remove the water pump again??
|Memphis metro

|You do not have to remove the water pump. Unbolt from engine and snatch her out. I would clean up in the hole a little also while you have it out.

|Sep 28 2011, 05:15 PM Post #7
Sir Metrologist
|You might get lucky, mine was just missing one of the bolts. after I replaced it, it stopped leaking. The o-ring was fine.
|Sep 29 2011, 09:58 AM Post #8
for those intrested or with the same problem. this is what i did.
2000 chevy metro 1.0
i replaced the water pump, and found ANOTHER leak behind the pump housing. there is a metal supply tube that starts at the bottom radiator hose..( i typoed "top" in my earlier post. ) and runs all the way behind the engine...
to the backside of the water pump.
a simple o-ring seals this.
pretty easy to fix...i drained the coolant...disconnected the radiator hoses...and hoses (B) removed bolts (A) and (D)...(D) is kind of a pain, its in a tight area under the intake just above the starter.
then i wiggled the tube out....the bracket for (D) and the hose nipples (B) wanted to snag on any wiring, hose, and crevis on the way out, so alot of twisting and turnig the tube is in order.
i removed the thermostat...(one of those "while im in here" deals.)
and set it all on a table.
cleaned all the crap off the tube, thermostat housing and the hole behind the pump. inspected hoses, tube and housing for wear, cracks or anything else that would have me doing this again.
the o-ring goes on the end (C)
i replaced the o-ring seal (E) with GM part #9605-9933
and the thermostat (F) with NAPA part # 215 (the thermostat i removed looked NOTHING like the replacement and it didnt fit in there properly...i think some yahoo stuck whatever he picked out of a rummage bin in the hole and called it good, im suprised it didnt leak.)
then i eased the tube back in place, bolted it up...(D) was a major pain again..hooked up all the hoses, filled with antifreeze and no leak...(so far)...
maybe this will help someone else.

Sotheby's biggest-ever London art sale comes as emerging-market buyers flock in
By Julia Fioretti
LONDON (Reuters) - Works by Picasso and Van Gogh helped the London arm of Sotheby's hit its highest-ever sales figure for a single auction, coming close to the overall London record set by rival Christie's a day earlier, as art sales boomed in the British capital.
The Sotheby's sale late on Wednesday totaled 163 million pounds ($266 million), and the auctioneer said on Thursday demand had come from both emerging markets such as Russia and longer-established markets in Europe and America.
"Our auctioneer, Henry Wyndham, was fielding bids from as many as five determined bidders on nearly every lot, coming from Russia, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America as well as the U.S. and Europe," said Helena Newman, the co-head of Sotheby's Impressionist and Modern Art department worldwide.
"It certainly feels like a great stride into the first of the 2014 sale seasons."
The previous day, a Christie's sale had fetched 177 million pounds, a record for any sale held in London by an auction house, even though the auctioneer had to withdraw a batch of works by Joan Miro at the last minute.
Highlights of the Sotheby's sale included "Le Boulevard Montmartre, matinee de printemps", a Parisian street scene by impressionist Camille Pissarro, that went for 20 million pounds to an anonymous buyer, and "L'Homme est en mer", by Vincent Van Gogh, which fetched almost 17 million pounds.
The sale also included part of the private collection of Holocaust survivor and four-time concentration camp escapee Jan Krugier. The 37 items, including works by Pablo Picasso and Pierre Bonnard, fetched a total of 53 million pounds.
The auction drew bidders from 44 countries, more than Sotheby's, founded in 1744, had ever seen for a sale in London in the same category. Continued...

Asymmetrical hairline. I'm so over trying to hide it!
grew up trying to hide my hairline and in the process I just made it even worse. I'm ready to grow up and say Hey world my hairline might be different, asymmetrical, and not have pretty baby hairs to complement it but I will no longer be a slave to middle and side parting only!
I just want to post my pics here and hopefully get some support from you ladies. This is scary for me but it's time to show myself flaws and all.
PS: Don't mind my obvious heat damage. I'm also starting a plan to embrace my natural curls again!
We are usually our worst critic. I seriously would not know that you think your hairline is asymmetrical! Lol ... Looks like a natural hairline :)
I bet your hair looks great curly!!
Ummmmmm at least you have a hairline. lol Sorry, lots of people don't though. Even if you're hairline was hideously malformed (which it doesn't appear to be to me :D ) you'd still be a lot better off than some folks.
NO I definitely get that ^. My mother has a receding hairline so I think a lot of why I read so much into it comes from her pain as well. I know there are bigger things in life to be worried about, which is why I'm letting go of this adolescent self-image issue. I guess its kind of like my new years resolution lol!
And thanks Mec1976. We are our own worst critics.
I don't see anything wrong with your hair line. I have a really bad hairline.. it's soo wonky! It looks like I have bald spots on my hairline because some of the hairs on my hairline are really fine, but then others are normal. But I don't care and I don't think it's a big deal haha.
Hah "nonhairlines". Thanks girl :)
I dont see anything wrong with ur hairline! I def have my dads hair and get reminded of it a lot!!!! Nice big ole widows peak thing like morticia Adams!!!!!

June 25, 2011, at approximately 1:49 pm, a 911 received a call from a neighbor of a woman who claimed she had just shot her husband and needed an ambulance. Baxter County Sheriff's Deputy Kris Savino arrived at 1:55 and found a male subject, 51 year old Fred Wayne Dees, on the front porch of the residence at 150 CR 1434 which is located North of Mountain Home in the Clarkridge, Arkansas area. Dees was covered in blood and was holding a towel on his face. Ambulance Personnel arrived and transported Fred Dees and his wife, 52 year old Linda S. Dees, to Baxter Regional Medical Center in Mountain Home. Linda Dees was treated for injuries and released and Fred Dees was transported to Cox Hospital in Springfield, Missouri where he is listed in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the face. Investigators Eric Neal and Mike Day from the Baxter County Sheriff's Office arrived and began their investigation. Preliminary investigation reveals that Fred Dees was shot once in the right side of the face on the right side of the nose, just above the nostril with a 22 caliber Beretta Semi-Automatic Hand Gun. Linda Dees had injuries to her face and chest. Other evidence was also collected at the scene Although there is evidence of an argument, there are conflicting stories from Fred and Linda Dees as to sequence of events that led up to the shooting. The 22 caliber handgun was recovered and taken into evidence. The shooting incident is under active investigation and the results will be turned over to Prosecutor Ron Kincade once the investigation is completed. More details will be revealed after the case is reviewed by the prosecutor.Sheriff John Montgomery

Re: passing both arbitary and defined options
Something like the following, which I haven't actually tested.
Use a definition:
Options[NewPlot] = Join[Options[ListPlot],{NewPlot -> value}]
Write you NewPlot definition:
{newplotvalue = OptionValue[NewPlot],
fopts = FilterRules[opts, Options[ListPlot]},
Do something with newplotvalue,
Call ListPlot using fopts
David Park

From: Eddie [mailto:eddie at webassign.net]
So I'm building a plotting function, and I want it to be able to inherit the
same options that a ListPlot[] command can inherit, so my prototype looks
like this:
ListPlot[fancy stuff,options]
Here's the rub, if I additionally want to create a NewPlot-specific option,
it doesn't mesh. For example:
NewPlot[data_List,OptionsPattern[{newOption->newValue}],options___Rule] :=
Options contains the rule for newOption when NewPlot is called with that
option utilized, and ListPlot throws an error because it's not a recognized
option for ListPlot.
Is there a way I can have my personally declared options and the wildcard
options both present and working? Is there a way to "Drop" the rule that
matches the user-defined option from 'options'?

Update: After looking at several different kits and such on different sites, had it narrowed down to the
Turner Kit
with OEM (Centric standard) rotors, StopTech Street performance pads, front and rear sensors, and stainless steel lines added as an option. A good deal, except for the high shipping charges. Also included an extra liter (for total of 2) of brake fluid, since a brake fluid flush is due in December. Added a $6 wheel pin tool for mounting wheels since I griped about not having one last time I pulled a wheel. Total ended up being around $748 shipped, $71 of that being shipping charges.
EAS has a
Stoptech Kit
with better rotors (Stoptech performance slotted, which are a $66 upgrade in the Turner kit. Turner uses Centric/StopTech rotors), the lines, pads, sensors. $765 shipped, without the 2 liters of fluid or wheel tool.
Then decided to see if I could put the parts together cheaper myself on Amazon. Went to the Stoptech and the Centric sites (since I don't always trust Amazon on fitment) for part numbers, and using that info was able to find the Stoptech pads (front), Centric performance high-carbon rotors (a step up from the OEM ones they make), and sensors. All sold and stocked by Amazon, $414, free shipping (Super Saver, not in a hurry for this stuff).
Still needed rear pads, stainless steel lines, and fluid (and my wheel hanger). Went back to Turner, and got that stuff there for $241 (shipping was only $11).
Bottom line, on the way are:
Stoptech Street Performance pads
, front and rear sensors,
Stoptech Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Centric High Carbon rotors
, 2 liters of
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
, and the
Wheel Pin Tool
, for a grand total of $655.
My indy charges about 1.5 hours per axle, so I will be able to do front and rear for about $955. Dealer quoted me $822 to do just the fronts, no performance upgrade parts or stainless steel brake line upgrade.
Pleased that I managed to get the StopTech pads and the better rotors for less $$. Could have done OEM rotors and something like the Axxis Metal master pads for even less.
Part numbers for the Stoptech/Centric bits:
Brake Discs High Carbon Rotor Front 125.34093 2
Brake Discs High Carbon Rotor Rear 125.34080 2
Brake Pad Electronic Wear Sensors Fr 2/07:RWD Front 116.34046 1
Brake Pad Electronic Wear Sensors Rear 116.34034 1
StopTech Street Performance Pad FR Part #: 309.09180
StopTech Street Performance Pad R Part #: 309.11700

"The one-on-one you get from everybody here is a huge benefit."
— Chris Bertino
About this Career
People who succeed as physician assistants enjoy direct patient contact, have a passion for medicine, and embrace challenges. Physician assistants are highly qualified licensed health care professionals who practice medicine with physician supervision. Physician assistants participate in a demanding academic and clinical curriculum that prepares them for the complexities of their career. Physician assistants are trained to elicit medical histories, perform physical exams, order and interpret diagnostic studies, perform clinical procedures and formulate patient treatment and management plans.
Physician assistants practice in all areas of medicine and surgery. Opportunities exist in primary care offices (pediatrics, family practice and internal medicine), medical sub-specialty offices such as cardiology, gastroenterology and endocrinology, as well as general surgery and surgical sub-specialty practices such as cardiothoracic surgery and orthopedics.
Physician assistants work in various settings including inpatient, outpatient, nursing homes, urgent care centers and emergency rooms.
Although physician assistants can be found in all areas of medicine and surgery, the physician assistant program at SUNY Upstate has a focus on primary care in medically underserved and rural areas of Upstate New York.
Fast-growing Profession
The physician assistant profession is one of the fastest growing professions in the United States today. Graduation from an accredited physician assistant program and passage of the national certification exam are required for state licensure. The certification exam, developed by the National Commission on Certification of PAs, is usually taken by students within the first few weeks of graduation. To maintain their national certification, PAs must log 100 hours of continuing medical education credits every two years and pass the national recertification exam every ten years.

People buying a house in London are the least likely in Britain to be put off by nightmare neighbours, a new study has found.
Research shows one in three Londoners surveyed would be concerned about neighbours when viewing a home, compared to 45 per cent nationally.
In the north east, 57 per cent of residents said fears over those living next door would put them off buying a home, suggesting a stronger sense of community.
The main concerns for people when buying a property in London included distance from transport links and shops as well as renovation costs.
Well maintained green space proved to be a low priority with just one in 10 saying a messy garden would deter them from buying.
The study also highlighted the capital's spiraling property costs with 53 per cent of Londoners having never bought a home, compared to a 36 per cent national average.
More than a third of Londoners surveyed even said they had not entertained the idea of buying a home, which researchers described as a "shocking lack of confidence" in joining the capital's property ladder.
Over 2,000 Britons took part in the survey over two days in January, commissioned by estate agents Purplebricks.
Purplebricks CEO Michael Bruce said: "Homebuyers in some parts of the country are clear about wanting good neighbours, but in the competitive London market buyers want convenience and the ability to add value to a property.
"The benefit of having a property expert on hand to guide buyers through the process means that they get local advice and expertise, so they can find exactly what they're looking for."

|Más información:
"Born Chester Burnett in 1910, the Wolf survived a grim childhood and hardscrabble youth as a sharecropper in Mississippi. He began his career playing and singing with the first Delta blues stars for two decades in perilous juke joints. He was present at the birth of rock 'n' roll in Memphis, where Sam Phillips - who also discovered Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis - called Wolf his "greatest discovery." He helped develop the sound of electric blues and vied with rival Muddy Waters for the title of king of Chicago blues. He ended his career performing and recording with the world's most famous rock stars. His passion for music kept him performing - despite devastating physical problems - right up to his death in 1976."
"There's never been a comprehensive biography of the Wolf until now. Moanin' at Midnight is full of information about his mysterious early years, and entertaining stories about his decades at the top, and never-before-seen photographs. It strips away all the myths to reveal - at long last - the real-life triumphs and tragedies of this blues titan."--Jacket.

1987 L6 with engine running poorly
My car is 1987 635 (L6). It would not start, only a click. Mechanic changed starter and new battery, all was well. One month later, same problem, only a solitaire click when you turned the key. Replaced the starter again, still only a click. Mechanic said the engine appeared to be frozen, they pulled on the belts to free the engine, and the car started. But now the car idles and runs very poorly, like out of timing. mechanic thinks maybe the timing chain had slipped, was frozen, and then jumped?
Sound logical? Any suggestions for other causes for the irregular engine operation?

morally right and legally right are 2 distinctly different things.
Printable View
morally right and legally right are 2 distinctly different things.
There is no such thing as INTENT in self defense scenarios. It's Jeopardy. Trying to prove someone else's intentions is impossible at best--and any 2 bit lawyer is going to rip you a new one on the witness stand when you say "his intent was to stab brian with it".
Now, manifest intentions are something completely different. Someone standing there looking mean while holding a knife, is one thing. He looks mean. You imagine what he might be thinking, what he could do if so inclined. A good percentage of people driving cars during rush hour look like this, but none of them warrant a death sentence for that, despite having a deadly weapon (a 3500-lb car) in their hands.
Not unless those thoughts manifest themselves into overt action can you be certain there's a threat. That is when there's jeopardy, when the actual actions manifest themselves and put you in imminent risk of harm. Ability and Opportunity are not enough, with the guy just standing there stewing in his thoughts. Jeopardy is also required for you to take action against someone as a threat.
getting into a scuffle while you are carrying just lends the opportunity to get you gun taken away from you. any confrontation while your carrying has a whole new meaning than when your mono-a-mono with someone. IMO, back off and bring law enforcement into it.
however, if you wanna disarm, grease up and go hulk hogan on them, that's another situation altogether. :blink:
don't give the appearance that if all fails when your losing, you can just... eliminate.
fear of great bodily harm or death when he grabbed a weapon, I thinks that qualifies.
Meat forks, nail guns, hammers, screwdrivers....even a child's toy.
When the drug dealer picked up a screwdriver to use as a weapon...he just armed himself.
I DO agree that a police report should have been made....if the BG come back a record of their threats could be useful.
The other guy has no idea you're armed or presumably he wouldn't go for the KO in the first place. You'll determine this as soon as hostile actions commence. If he's intent on strictly beating you senseless, then it's pretty much a straight forward issue of warding off the attack and breaking contact to do as you suggest. But if he zeroes in on that CCW holster he knows you're armed and THAT is his target and you can safely assume he has murder on his mind. Aikido and Jujuitsu taught me how to effectively fight from the ground. I think that's what I'd do: Drop to the ground and keep my gun side down. Fight from that position. Just my .02
good points and i agree ExSoldier. i did mean what i said as a general rule though. i, as well have a decent martial arts background even before the military and not only was i taught, but also found out that most full contact fights end up on the ground. to me, it's not worth the grappling and wrestling aspect of defending and offensive actions with hands all over the place with anyone else able to get hold of my own firearm. i merely meant to keep those few steps ahead as best as possible for that your in a different category when carrying as to the times your not. i, everyday, am in both situations because of work and it feel it's a different mind set because of that. it results in "what am i going to do different because i'm not as prepared as i would like to be."
P.S. on that note, i really don't like working in such a restricting state and didn't realize how much it would bug me until i actually did it. fortunately it's a temporary contract.
Yep, move out, then call in an air strike and have the place cleaned out! Scumbag drug dealin GBs!
You shoulda started by calling 911.

Target: U.S. Congress
Goal: Investigate and stop over-prescription of antipsychotic drugs to foster children.
Recent studies show a disturbing over-prescription of antipsychotic drugs for children in foster care. Foster children often receive more than one prescription of powerful psychotropic drugs like Seroquel and Zyprexa, drugs used to treat severe bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in adults. Tell Congress to investigate these dangerous and irresponsible medical practices and illegal use of Medicaid funds to pay for them.
Studies exposing the disturbing trends of over-prescription of psychotropic drugs began in the early 2000s. For example, a 2003 study in Florida found that 55% of foster children in the state had been prescribed psychotropic drugs, 40% of them without even receiving a psychiatric evaluation. A 2004 study in Texas found that 34.7% of foster children in the state were receiving one or more anti-psychotic drug.
The problem is that drugs like Zyprexa or Seroquel which were designed for serious psychiatric conditions in adults are being prescribed for foster children with behavioral problems. Combining one or more of these medications is even more dangerous, as these medications can be known to cause depression in young children. That's what happened in the case of Gabriel Meyers, a nine year old foster child taking Symbyax, an anti-depressant not meant for children, who killed himself in 2009 after an altercation with his foster brother. Gabriel's doctor was cited by the FDA for over-prescribing the drug.
Medicaid pays for the medical treatment of foster children but there are supposed to be guidelines in place that prevent Medicaid from paying for these prescriptions that are not meant for children. What is occurring is a costly abuse of government money with fatal consequences.
Recent studies still show that foster children are receiving dangerous cocktails of psychotropic drugs at alarming rates. Senator Tom Carper has asked the General Accountability to look into this shocking disregard for children's health and abuse of government funds. Sign the petition and demand that Congress addresses this problem now.
Dear United States Congressmen and Women,
Across the country, foster children are being prescribed dangerous psychotropic medications that are simply not safe for them. Despite being developed for things like severe bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, doctors often prescribe combinations of these drugs to deal with behavioral issues in foster children. These drugs can cause suicidal thoughts, like the ones experienced by nine year old Gabriel Meyers who hung himself after a fight with his foster brother in 2009.
Despite federal guidelines that are supposed to prevent Medicaid from paying for prescriptions that are not safe for children, foster children are receiving these medications at an alarmingly disproportionate rate compared to children their age who are not receiving foster care. Please stand up to big pharmaceutical companies who are pushing these drugs and demand an investigation into this tragic and costly problem. Foster children deserve better.
[Your Name Will Go Here]

Best Of :: Goods & Services
Lions and tigers and bears! Giant fish, monkeys and hares! A stable full of crafted clay and ceramic animals greets curious shoppers at Curiosidades de Mexico, a northwest Denver coffer of crafts, housewares, religious objects, rugs, furniture and art from south of the border. Fancy a trout planter or a donkey chimenea? Head upstairs, where the merchandise ranges from the small -- say, some sculpted grapes from Guadalajara -- to the very large -- as in a Mexico City-style casita bar, complete with stools and built-in tequila racks. Bright, friendly and reasonably priced, Curiosidades is a wonder.
So you're at a bar, and a certain creepy someone is refusing to leave you alone unless you give him or her your phone number. What to do? Tell the heavy breather in question to call you at 303-575-1696 -- digits that just happen to dial up Denver's Rejection Hotline, a local service of the Web site www.rejectionhotline.com. Although the Hotline's recorded voice is briefly understanding ("I know this sucks, but don't be too devastated"), it's anything but in the long run, hinting that the person being dissed may be "short, fat, ugly, dumb," suffer from "bad breath" or "body odor," give off a "stalker vibe," or is about as much fun as "playing leapfrog with a unicorn." There's no better way to tell that certain unwanted someone to take a hike.
Carousing in LoDo got a whole lot easier -- or at least a bit more sensible -- last New Year's Eve, thanks to the soberRide program underwritten by AT&T Wireless. Folks who'd overdone the bubbly and lacked the means or foresight to book a room downtown for the night were provided free cab rides (up to $50 in value). From 8 p.m. to 3 a.m., chariots awaited, available at cab stands or through a toll-free number. And New Year's revelers got home safely to sleep off their excesses in the comfort of their own beds. But come to think of it, wasn't the name a bit misleading?
Sometimes it seems like DIA doesn't want anyone to leave. Is there some kind of strange force field that sucks the juice from car batteries, flattens tires and disguises vehicles parked in the sprawling economy lots and distant car-parks, rendering their owners powerless to drive far, far away? Perhaps -- but it's no match for the good people at AMPCO System Parking, who scour the premises for infirm autos and offer gratis jump-starts, lock-out assistance, tire inflation and guidance for the hopelessly lost. Armed with a license-plate number, they can locate a car for the weary traveler who's just
plumb forgot where he parked it. AMPCO's attentive employees don't accept tips, so be sure to at least smile and wave as you pull out and motor on.
After over two million hours of air travel, the average American would pull out his or her hair. But Littleton resident E. Larry Beaumont didn't do that. Instead, he wrote a book to help other frequent fliers survive the perils of air travel unscathed. From pre-travel planning, check-in and boarding to flight and arrival, Beaumont takes travelers through the experience with the least amount of pain -- and loads of humor. Included with the advice are humorous stories and suggestions for making travel experiences as enjoyable as possible, often at the expense of others.
It's not easy finding something for nothing at the Cherry Creek Mall. Certainly there are deals to be had, but nothing, not even the free perfume samples, matches the value of the free air compressor behind the mall (near Chevy's). No doubt intended for cyclists passing by on the Cherry Creek Bike Path, the air compressor also beckons to four-wheelers with low tire pressure. So the next time some bohemian friend says, "The Cherry Creek Mall blows, dude," reply "Yes, it does -- for free."

Mexico's Calderon defends war on drug cartels
Latest polls suggest the main opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party, whose 71 years of authoritarian and often corrupt rule were ended by the PAN's candidate Vicente Fox in 2000, will win the 2012 presidential elections.
The PRI is expected to field the popular outgoing governor of the State of Mexico, Enrique Pena Nieto, who called for more resources in tackling crime and security after the speech.
The country's police forces needed to be more professional and better-trained, Pena Nieto said, vowing to speed up the building of new training centers for police and officials.
"At the end of the day the most important things are coordination, clearly identifying the objectives and more resources for issues like public security," he told reporters.
Security forces have captured or killed many senior traffickers and Calderon says the violence is a sign of the cartels' weakness. But critics say his policy of using force to bring down the cartels has made a bad situation worse.
Locals in the prosperous northern city of Monterrey were appalled by the death toll after suspected members of the Zetas drug cartel attacked the Casino Royale last Thursday.
Hitmen, local traffickers and police initially made up the bulk of the drug war dead, but most of the largely female victims in the Monterrey casino were middle class, the kind of people who have made the city a PAN stronghold.
Long viewed as a jewel in the crown of the Mexican economy, Monterrey, a city of 4 million, has become a potent symbol of how the drug war can quickly ravage major cities. Continued...

About Me
My work might be summed up in two words-Dark Elegance. I want to take audience to a place where woman or man is gorgeous, and her or his beauty is timeless and transcendent. Working in the past as a designer and photographer for Jewellery company's I discovered beauty and glamour photography might offer me a way to explore my vision farther then just advertising shoots. I'm using photography as a visual way of capturing and expressing power of human beauty. It's a mythical thing, an emotional connection to a part of myself. That's why every picture I took has huge personal impact on it.

How to Use GMP Flavour Standards
Quick, Convenient and Effective to Use
Each GMP Beer Flavour Standard comes in a pre-set concentration within a capsule. All you need to do is to simply pour the contents into a volume of beer. One capsule provides three times the flavour threshold when added to one litre of beer. There's now no need to spend time producing chemicals in a sensory lab or to measure them out in a liquid form into your beer.
Each GMP flavour standard in our range is provided in a pharmaceutical blister pack that improves upon the stability and quality of our products. Simple, easy to use and stable to store, our blister packs keep each GMP flavour standard fresh compared to traditional pot packaging types where use over time exposes all the remaining GMP flavour standards to moisture and other contaminants.
To Use -
Just push out the GMP flavour standard you need through the foil seal and the capsule is ready to use.
Open the capsule by holding each end and twisting and pulling at the same time. Pour into 200ml of beer swirl to release the flavour and then top up to 1 litre to produce the recommended training concentration. You can increase or decrease the concentration by adding to more or less beer, I.E for six times the flavour threshold add 2 capsules a litre of beer or alternatively add 1 capsule to 1/2 a litre of beer.
The empty capsule can be thrown into normal waste and any excess beer after tasting can be normally disposed of.
When you've used up the entire pack you can re-cycle the cardboard part by pulling apart the card and disposing of it with accordance to your local re-cycling regulations.
GMP Beer Flavour standards might be robust enough to withstand shipping worldwide however GMP Flavour Standards are best stored under these conditions.
- Keep them in the dark
- Don't crush the packs – you may damage the contents or release the capsules before you need them
- Keep the packs away from the damp, strong odours or flavours
- Keep them dry – even though the capsules are sealed in individual blisters exposure to high humidity and water could degrade the flavour standards
- Keep them cool, but not too cool – we recommend 20 degrees Celsius, please keep our standards out of the fridge – the cold can make the capsules brittle.
- Check the expiry date – our capsules have a shelf life, past that time and it may effect the flavour that your tasters are being trained or validated on. Use our online order form to get hold of some replacements or call us. We'll be happy to help!

leaking rims is one problem, (this is only for 1.2L) if the car is hard to put in reverse(even if you clutch twice or put it in another gear) there is 2 bolts that can be tightened or a mechanism that can be replaced.
Minor problems, but the car is new and there is always some problems in the beginning.
both problems should the Hyundai car dealers/workshops be noticed about.
|Would this be the same for having trouble getting it into 1st gear?
I take it you've also had problems with 1st gear Elf. Did you get it sorted?
Has anyone else had problems with getting 1st gear?
It's only my first week with the car so I'm hoping maybe some of my issues work themselves out.
So far...
1. First gear is sometimes tricky to get into. Not everytime, but often enough to be bloody annoying.
2. The windscreen heater seems pathetic. I sat for 10 minutes this morning waiting for all the moisture to clear from the inside of the window (which also makes me wonder how the **** it got there...!?!). I eventually ran out of patience and went inside to get a cloth to wipe the screen (not ideal!). I'm going to test this on a longer run at the weekend.
3. The Air Con comes on everytime the fan is on. Not really a fault, just annoying to have to turn it off everytime I start the car or turn on the fan.
|3. The Air Con comes on everytime the fan is on. Not really a fault, just annoying to have to turn it off everytime I start the car or turn on the fan.
|It should only do this when demist is selected.
1. First and rear gear are sometimes a bit tricky. I have 2000km and it seems to be better now.
In the beginning it was almost once a trip, but now it's very rare.
2. You need to put the Airco on for that, in a few seconds the moisture is gone.
|i have a slight rattle, in the left rear area, very gentle tapping of metal. any ideas on what that might be??

Although it is commonly assumed that closely related animals are similar in body size, the degree of similarity has not been examined across the taxonomic hierarchy. Moreover, little is known about the variation or consistency of body size patterns across geographic space or evolutionary time. Here, we draw from a data set of terrestrial, nonvolant mammals to quantify and compare patterns across the body size spectrum, the taxonomic hierarchy, continental space, and evolutionary time. We employ a variety of statistical techniques including "sib-sib" regression, phylogenetic autocorrelation, and nested ANOVA. We find an extremely high resemblance (heritability) of size among congeneric species for mammals over ∼18 g; the result is consistent across the size spectrum. However, there is no significant relationship among the body sizes of congeneric species for mammals under ∼18 g.We suspect that life-history and ecological parameters are so tightly constrained by allometry at diminutive size that animals can only adapt to novel ecological conditions by modifying body size. The overall distributions of size for each continental fauna and for the most diverse orders are quantitatively similar for North America, South America, and Africa, despite virtually no overlap in species composition. Differences in ordinal composition appear to account for quantitative differences between continents. For most mammalian orders, body size is highly conserved, although there is extensive overlap at all levels of the taxonomic hierarchy. The body size distribution for terrestrial mammals apparently was established early in the Tertiary, and it has remained remarkably constant over the past 50 Ma and across the major continents. Lineages have diversified in size to exploit environmental opportunities but only within limits set by allometric, ecological, and evolutionary constraints.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the help. I know the mount points are very similar between the Cobra and GT of newer model years...and I know they are very similar between Fox and SN95... but I'm not so sure I'll be able to get away with the original locations between IRS "new edge" body and fox. I'll keep checking. Thanks for the info!!
I think you could do it, if I remember correctly the cobra IRS uses the same chassis mounting points. If I also rememeber correctly, the geometry for the IRS isn't that great, not sure why or how it would impact the car in autox though.
You def want some subframe connectors, I've seen some funny pics of old floppy fox bodies on r-comps :D
16.1.E. Suspension components are unrestricted as long as they use the
original attachment points. For the purposes of this rule, "suspension"
is defined as any item that is designed to move when a wheel
is deflected vertically. This includes shocks and struts, control arms,
steering knuckles, uprights, etc., but not tie rods, steering racks, and
subframes. In addition, shock absorber/strut upper mounts are to be
considered suspension components.
SCCA vehicle class question
My college participates in SCCA regulated Autox sponsored and hosted by a local sports car club.
We have a Street Tuner class 90 Honda Civic and are currently building a 89 Mustang SVT Cobra clone from the top down. We want to participate in Street Modified class.
I have a copy of the SOLO rules but I'm looking for someone who knows the rules well enough to answer my question. A time saver for me, really.
I have a friend who is looking to do a solid 8.8 axle conversion on his 2003 SVT Cobra. If the Street Mod rules will allow, I'd like to buy his IRS setup and convert the 4 link solid 8.8 in the 89 to IRS from the 03.
Is this a legal modification for Street Modified?
We originally planned to run the car in Street Tuner with the Civic so I'm fairly competent with the rules of the ST class and the language within forbids any suspension modification that changes the location of the upper and lower control arms. Obviously this would be the case with the IRS.
But since I'm not familiar with Street Mod rules I'd like to know if the SM class would allow for this type of modification.
Thanks for the help!

I like these abstract natural patterns that I photographed several years ago on the beach at Cape Tribulation in Northern Queensland, Australia. I have seen similar nearer to home, on Studland Beach in Dorset, England. Complex dendritic or branching drainage channels, where water has flowed down the shore with the ebbing tide, cut through a surface layer of much-comminuted dark brown flotsam plant debris, leaving designs of white contrasting coral sand.

Queensland Seaweed – Turbinaria ornatum
This is the Spiny Tops seaweed, Turbinaria ornatum, photographed at Cape Tribulation in Queensland, Australia. Superficially, it looks like the seaweed Sargassum crassifolium featured in a previous Posting. However, if you look closely, you can see that here the 'fronds' are much thicker and rounder. They are actually the expanded ends of small branchlets. They look a bit like small cookies that have been cut out of thin dough with a serrated-edge cookie cutter.
A. B. Cribb in his book Seaweeds of Queensland, A naturalist's guide (ISBN 0-9595607-1-8) says about this species that:
The axis bears closely placed top-shaped branchlets with rigidly spiny margins. Eventually a gas-filled cavity develops in these branchlets and the buoyancy keeps the plant erect when submerged. This species is restricted mainly to the tropics where it is common on coral reefs.
Damon Ramsey in his book Ecosystem Guides, Tropical Seashores of Australia (ISBN 978-0-9757470-6-3) tells us that in these very distinctive seaweeds:
Along the top half of the stalk many smaller branchlets grow off to form a dome shape, and each has flat, star-shaped spikes at the end. They can be common in the murkier sandy shallows, and sometimes wash up on tropical beaches.

Queensland Seaweed – Botryocladia leptopoda
Compared with the coast of Great Britain there were relatively few seaweeds on the beaches I visited on the Queensland coast. However, the red seaweed illustrated here was one of the most unusual in appearance. I found it washed up on the sandy beach at Cape Tribulation. It resembled a mass of molluscan or fish eggs – a bit like glistening caviar.
I photographed it from every angle and concluded from the way the swollen 'leaves' or 'eggs' were attached to branching stems that it was indeed a type of marine alga. It wasn't till I obtained a copy of the book Seaweeds of Queensland – A Naturalist's Guide (by A. B. Cribb of the Queensland Naturalists' Club: Handbook No. 2, 1996, ISBN 0 9595607 1 8) that I could verify its identification. In fact, it is the same species that is featured on the front cover of the book – Botryocladia leptopoda (J. Agardh) Kylin.
The specimen in my own photographs has been affected by the hot sun and most of the 'leaves' have dimples in them where they have begun to shrivel out of water. Apparently, the common name is Grape Weed and to quote from the above book,
the densely placed vesicles clothing the branches make this one of the most beautiful red algae in Queensland. Large specimens may reach 40 cm in length. The generic name is derived from the Greek botrys – bunch of grapes, and clados – branch.
Its habitat is mainly in the sub-tidal region in sheltered and semi-exposed areas but also occasionally in shaded pools. Intriguingly, this lovely seaweed is thought to contain chemicals with important medicinal properties. Research is being conducted into these properties in connection with the treatment of lymphatic filarial parasites.

Cay Sandstone or "Beach Rock"
We are used to thinking of rocks as ancient structures that have been in place for millions of years but, of course, rocks are in the continual process of being formed. An example might be the way rivers carry erosion sediments downstream to form layers on the beds of seas, lakes, and lagoons. Or erupting volcanic lava solidifying on contact with air or water. On the coastline of Queensland in Australia the most easily visible type of present-day rock formation is that of cay sandstone, commonly called "beach rock".
Beach rock forms very rapidly. It happens in warm shallow water close to coral reefs, where the combination of heat and evaporation, an abundance of dissolved calcium from pieces of coral and seashells, and the addition of phosphates from bird guano, lead to a cementing of all the loose fragments together to form hard concretions of rock. This is such a rapid way of rock building that it is sometimes possible to see man-made objects included in the concretion – apparently soft drinks cans have been recorded. More commonly seen are pieces of coral (sometimes still coloured), sea shells, and the impressions of plant remains such as Pandanus fruits.
The photographs in this post were taken mostly on the sheltered shore of Normanby Island where the beach rock layers form an almost continuous link and low-tide walkway to the neighbouring island. Large slabs of beach rock are prone to break off from the layers and rest on the shore. In other places deep deposits of algal-covered rock have started to wear into depressions and hollows that form new habitats for marine gastropods and crustaceans.
I travelled to Normanby Island on a tour with Cruise and Dive Frankland Islands.

Soldier Crabs at Cape Tribulation
Soldier Crabs are a phenomenon. They are not very big or very special to look at but the behaviour that they exhibit is spectacular. For some reason that scientists do not fully understand, these tiny crabs (about 1 centimetre across the carapace) will suddenly emerge from the wet sand of the lower shore in specific tidal conditions, gather in vast numbers, and march across the beach. Millions of them. Armies of them. Not scuttling randomly sideways like normal crabs but walking forwards. Then they disappear again just as quickly by cork-screwing themselves down into the wet muddy sand. If you stop and stare at the surface sediments, you can see the sand grains heaving as the little creatures excavate burrows below, presumably extracting microscopic food particles from sand they eat, and bringing new deposits or casts to the top.
While I was walking along Myall Beach near Cape Tribulation in Queensland, I was thinking that the vast sandy shore was a bit disappointing from the marine invertebrate point of view. Then I suddenly became aware of extensive dark shadows moving across the surface – looking rather like wind-blown sand. As my eyes focused on these erratically-moving darker patches, I realised that they were battalions of moving crabs. If I stood still long enough, more small crabs would emerge from the wet sediments at my feet, as if on some unknown cue, congregate together and march away, joining the horde and gathering new recruits on the way.
The crabs probably belong to the Family Myctyridae but I don't think they are Myctyris longicarpus on the basis that the carapace colouring and markings are different in the specimens I photographed. The Soldier Crabs are abundant in this location because the tidal flats are enriched with nutrients brought down from the mountains by a river that flows through the tropical rain forest – reaching the beach as Myall Creek (complete with crocodiles).
The short video clips attached to this post – best viewed without sound because the wind blowing over the microphone is a bit intrusive – demonstrate some of these Soldier Crab habits.

Checked, shame that there's no reference pictures though. My atual plan is just for the enlarged cranium, I plan to use face paint for the face and exposed skin, so I can make some expressions in costume.
I've tore my first try apart, recuperating the helmet and using actual insulation foam, made the general shape, the rough cut and sanding is done for the upper part, now I need some stuff to fill in the gaps between the foam and correct the minor cut/sand mistakes I've done on the whole thing. I've padded the top with craft foam (Since I only needed a few millimeters of stuff to cover the hole and mold over the helmet's top), but I might tear that out and replace it with a thinner layer of insulation foam, craft foam is a little too flimsy and can't be sanded
I might require to rework some parts, as the angle I'd need to connect the forehead and sides of my actual head to the prop would be too steep to provide something that remotely looks natural --- or so I think.
Checking my options for the lower part right now, if I mold something to fit, use foam, or what's not. I already have the latex sealant/primer coating I'll use before apply the shade of blue I want (Will be determined when I've picked and gotten the makeup so I can match it the best I can).
I'll likely link progress pics when (if?) I ever feel confident enough about the future result/method. Right now I feel quite silly/dorky wearing the incomplete thing.

Mercedes-Benz Removes Airscarf in Its German Cars
Mercedes-Benz will have to disable the Airscarf feature of its cars sold in Germany. According to a source, the three-pointed star marque had to do the drastic move to prevent being penalized under the law. That's because it so happened that the technology had already been patented by another party. Based on a court ruling, Mercedes is using a technology that was patented in 1996. Basically, Airscarf can be found in the convertible models of Mercedes like the SL, SLK, SLC, and the cabriolet versions of its sedans. It provides heating during cold weather via a vent in the seats that produces hot air around the neck area. Although Mercedes owns… Continue Reading »

I'm in the process of writing a research paper I'd like to eventually publish and I was wondering if anyone could explain the math to me behind shared key authentication. I think I need some clarification on some stuff. If an attacker captures a successful authentication from a client then:
Attacker has:
Challenge text P
Encrypted challenge C
So if we're going to deduce the key stream, C = P (XOR) keystream we can get the keystream using:
keystream = C (XOR) P
Now if the attacker requests authentication from the access point and is sent the challenge text P2, how could authentication succeed using the keystream he got from the other client? Obviously he'd have the IV for this keystream, but would it not be different from the previous keystream, meaning that the keystream wouldn't be the same? So how could he encrypt this new challenge P2 using the previous keystream and still successfully authenticate? Am I missing something, is the same keystream used for authentication?
How does the IV play in to all this? I know it's concatenated to the shared key to form a seed and then passed through RC4 encryption, so how is it useful to us?
Could someone shed some light for me please?

At first, I was totally against a "black" Parka, but it's sort of grown on me. I wanted a more traditional color: navy, hunter green, or a dark tan – but I like the subtleness of black. The fit seems really modernized, but still generous in the larger sizes (I'm wearing an XL.) This seems more fitting for Florida, it's only 8.5 oz canvas and it's got a some breath-ability via eyelets in the arm pit area. I've loved everything these guys are doing with their line, especially the super cool Nomad Case – which I will one day purchase. Make sure to check their collection out, and give the blog a read. It's really good stuff.
Penfield Farlstad $220
I've always liked this model, everything about it. The heritage of the brand, and the tried & true reputation that goes behind it. A lot of the other parka's I've been looking at aren't made in the US, where as this piece is. The detail and craftsman ship are guaranteed to be extra solid (it's made in America, c'mon!)
Some of the details on this parka are an adjustable hood, front phone pocket, two front snap enclosure pockets, inner-lined wind stopper, ribbed waist band for a 'varsity' fit around the waist, and everyones favorite material: water repellent waxed cloth.
Garbstore Mountain Providence Parka II $400
Even though this piece is out of my price range, I'm going to mention it because I love the Garbstore. They did various colors of this jacket, but I liked this one the best. Navy with those grey highlights creates a really awesome color way that would mix in with my whole wardrobe really nicely. Subtle tones and two of my favorite colors. I really dig the Japanese wool lining running throughout the hood and shoulder area as well. Leather pull strings, adjustable hem pull, and storm flap. You name it, this jacket's got it.
Man, I may need to up my price range.
Albam Trail Parka $300
This jacket is absolutely amazing. What else needs said other than they're using the fabric that made "who made Filson what they are today." The jacket has got a modern fit with a really awesome mixture of materials. A thick waterproof canvas outer shell, a Japanese chambray hood liner, leather zip pulls. What more can you want? Oh, you want a hood visor? It's got that too. Such an awesome feature that I've wanted on a jacket for a very long time. Take a few minutes and check out the rest of the Albam collection, I'm sure you'll find something you like… actually, I'm positive you will.
Crossing my fingers, I just reached out to Albam to see if my size is available in the color I liked the most: Hickory Brown. If it's available, this may take the cake.
