For some reason many of my opinions read like they are advertisements promoting whatever I'm writing about. I tend to write opinions on good products and I go off at a tangent, promoting the product, but without writing about the bad side. Well namezero has many good points and a few bad points. Firstly I'd better explain that namezero is a domain registration website, offering domains, e.g. www.fatpants.com at good prices. They offer quite a few features with the domains, but no webspace. This is no problem because you can simply get another company to host your website and give you the necessary webspace. You can actually get a domain for absolutely FREE, but it takes ages before the registration process goes through. I registered www.monkey-nuts.net and it took 3 weeks before I got a confirmation letter. But it is FREE and a FREE domain is worth having. However a large ad banner is displayed on your website if you use the FREE domain. But namezero allow you to upgrade so that you've got a ad free site. Although I've got the domain www.monkey-nuts.net I'd much rather use www.monkeynuts.n2v.net because that displays no ads... All in all a great domain registration service, offering FREE domains, but with advertising... If you've got a personal website I'd recommend getting a proper domain for it. So go get one for free --> :)
NameZero.com was the only website I ever found on the net which offered completely free .com names. That was untill earlier this year when they announced that they couldn't afford to keep the site going unless they charged a small amount for the domain names. This does not bother me because the price was so cheap - I pay about £10 a year for a .com name which compared to nearly all other sites is suprisingly cheap. For this price you get 1 year hosting and then you can renew the membership after that year. You get 1 domain name and free email - email@example.com This is definately worth it if you want cheap names so give it a try! Happy sitebuilding!
" Free is a magic word and anything you get free is always very welcome… But, there are something's in life which comes free but brings lot of additional expenses" How true, if some one gives me anything for free of cost, I will obviously like to look at the hidden cost because at times these hidden costs makes your life miserable. Like most of us who survive most of their time surfing the net and would defiantly like to have their own website. How wonderful it will be , if someone provides me not only free website also your very own domain name. After 4 years of really surfing and doing research on the Internet, 1 year back, I was working for a Contact Centre as Client Relations Manager and I had some Agents working who were doing their java course as it was said that it is a hotcake in US and every one wanted to be in the $ land. So most of them use to design websites of their own in angelfire, tripod, geocities and the most user-friendly (also most slow and makes your window crash, I don't know how many times) homestead. One day , one of these agents asked me Mahesh, do you want your own domain name for free, I thought he must be joking , I told him , I would love too, so he told me about namezero.com. I went to the site and started looking at the hidden cost, obviously this site didn't have any hidden cost. Namezero.com Namezero.com, the name sounded funny to me but then as Shakespeare has said what's their in name. This site provides you a free domain name and url forwarding. Along with your free domain these are the features you get. 1. Domain Name 2. Free email forwarding 3. URL forwarding 4. Personal Resources. Now, the thing, which you don't get, is a webspace for hosting but that's not a problem. Goto www.stas.net or www.dencity.com and make your website and then forward your website t
o namezero. Note: Stas.net and dencity.com gives you enough web space that you can upload your files and have your designed html files. Most important is that they don't have an advertisements. They give you ad free webspace. (Hypothetical Example) www.stas.net I created a website and uploaded my files and I got a url of http://www.asyis.stas.net www.namezero.com I got a domain name www.asyis.com and then forwarded my http://www.asyis.stas.net to namezero. So you are not loosing anything. But there is only one disadvantage. 1. Like the free ISP Caltiger you have a advertisement bar which will be always there. 2. You dont get the webspace to upload your files. But who cares for the adbar when you are getting your own domain name. I registered some where around 5 free domain names and I did get all of them but now, I hardly have excitement to make my website. Once your site is up and you feel that you dont need tha adbar, then just pay them and it will become an adfree website. Actually, once your website becomes popular and you feel that you dont need the ad bar then you feel the pinch of paying money, but thats the law of nature to get maximum result from work, you need to pay. But atleast for starters its a great bet because you get your own domain name. So guys who have their sites on angelfire, homestead and tripod and would like to have your own domain name go ahead and make your new mark on the web. Happy surfing and happy designing!!!
I came across NameZero.com some time ago and was attracted by the 'free' domain name (.com/.org/.net) they provide you with. I know you are all sat there thinking "well you never get anything for free" and in this case I now have to agree. I wanted to make a presence on the web and as a student I don't have a lot of cash to burn so the free domain they that NameZero were offering was really attractive. I signed up and after approximately 6 weeks I received an email confirmation that my domain name had been set up for me to use. I decided to get some web space from my ISP to build my webpage and then used the NameZero service to point to my webspace. However, this is where I come to my first problem - I type the incorrect URL so when somebody typed my domain name they ended up with an error page. When I realised the mistake I had made I tried to change the URL but the service would not let me. I emailed the 'customer support team' with my problem. The response was that they were currently upgrading the service so that I wouldn't be able to change the destination URL for a couple of weeks but after that I would have no problems. During this 2 week waiting period I was sent an email asking if I wanted to upgrade my service so that I could get rid of the annoying banner at the bottom of the page. I jumped at the chance!! What a mistake!! They took the money (£15). Following this I emailed them numerous times - some got responses saying that it was a temporary problem while some of the mail was just ignored completely. This has been going on now for several months and I have now got to the point where I have asked my credit card company to revoke my payment. When I do receive my refund I will forget all about NameZero and in future I will always pay that little bit extra for a better service. It just shows that 'nothing is really for free!!' If you want to check out my webpage to see what
they expect me to be happy with go the following address: www.MSB-Online.com ***UPDATED 11/04/01*** Well I have finally received my refund from Namezero for their appauling service. My credit card company did have to force the refund but now that I have my money back I am happy once more. Just stay clear of this one!!
Go on... sign up for a free domain name, fill out the form, hit submit... What?! It worked?! Ok, not wait for the email to come to confirm your domain name... Has it been a week already? A MONTH since you signed up?? really?! Still no email? Oh what a pity, you'll have to spend £20 and buy that domain name now. What d'you mean "someone's already bought it"? The truth is, NameZero are now a total waste of time. But they haven't always been, since their launch they have registered many free domain names. But, like all things free, they didn't last. And as for the unlimited webspace, well, how many sites who registered their domain name from NameZero actually used the free webspace? Not many, most people chose to redirect their visitors to their site hosted on other servers. (This is only my opinion, but I'm sure it's quite true). This is because with the unlimited webspace you also get an entire advert frame at the bottom of the page. Don't waste your time with NameZero. Even if they do start registering free domain names again in the future, I still wouldn't recommend them. I would much rather pay the £20 for the domain name than get it for free but with a permanent advertbar attached to it. .com/.net/.org domain names are available for £20 (2 years) from www.virtualnames.co.uk *.uk domain names are £10 for two years. I would definitely recommend this company. Excellent fast service, parked domain names also come with free web/email redirection, and they accept almost all the UK credit/debit cards.
This is brilliant if you want afree .cor , .net , or .org name. It does not act as a web host. When you sign up you configure your free address to redirect automatically to your site that is hosted somewhere else. So when you type your namezero address in the address bar (eg.www.godlike.com) it will automatically bring up your site that is hosted with someone else. You get free email addresses (firstname.lastname@example.com +firstname.lastname@example.com). his is all for free and a must have. The only downfaller is the advertisment at the bottom of your page, but there is a code on the net somewhere to chuck it.
yes we've all heard of these amazing companies giving away domains like netzero or freenetname.co.uk but how free are they though? this service might be ok if you want to mess about with personal domains or such, but use them at your peril if you want a bussiness site, or a high traffic site, with a slow service you will want to move your domain to a decent host, but wait, they are charging what to release the domain?!*?!*?!*?!* it only costs about £10 to register a domain but these companies are looking around £90 to release the domain. take my advice DO NOT USE THEM
Namezero offers you a free domain name of your choice with the extensions .net .org or the popular.com. I first heard of this from a magazine saying the website would be up in a couple of months and how great it would be and how it would change the internet. Well, I thought I'd check it out and was amazed by the concept. I registered my domain name and everything went smooth. Sure enough,I got a confirmation letter and two weeks later, the domain was taken for me. And then, I was struck with a massive ugly banner stuck onto the bottom of my page. To make things worse, the banner said something like " I got a free domain name at namezero!". I had just wasted a domain name. I carried on using them for a bit until their server crashed and their e-mail program broke down once when I had just had enough. It is possible to get rid of the banner by cheating on the HTMl code but I can't get rid of all the problems Namezero has with an HTML code. I would not use namezero unless lets say I registerd a domain name like www.footballworld.com and I didn't want someone to register www.football-world.com, I could use Namezero to register it.
Hey, guess what. I have discovered how to get a .com, .net or .org web address with unlimited webspace. Here is how... Go to http://www.crosswinds.net and signup for a new account and create your web page and upload it. Now your web address will look like this: http://www.crosswinds.net/~whateveryouchoose. Then, you got to http://www.namezero.com and open up an account there. This is where you choose your web address. Choose it, after you have confirmed the e-mail that would have been sent to you, go to the website and click on the control panel. Under channels it will say 'Home channel'. Select the add option next to it and then type in the details on your website, which is very simple. After this you will have a .com, .net or .org website with unlimited webspace. There is one problem, however. You have to display a massive advert on the bottom of your page which can be annoying. If anyone knows away around this please tell me. I do not think ti is worth the effort, it would be better to pay. But if you cannot afford it, go ahead!

The relationship between deformity correction and clinical outcomes after thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery : a prospective series of 100 patients
Adam, Clayton J., Izatt, Maree T., Labrom, Robert D., & Askin, Geoffrey N. (2010) The relationship between deformity correction and clinical outcomes after thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery : a prospective series of 100 patients. In Stanford, Ralph & Williamson, Owen (Eds.) Annual Scientific Meeting of the Spine Society of Australia , 9-11 April 2010, Christchurch Convention Centre, Christchurch.
Accepted Version
(PDF 167kB)
The relationship between deformity correction and self-reported patient satisfaction after thoracoscopic anterior scoliosis surgery is unknown. Scoliosis Research Society questionnaire scores, radiographic outcomes, and rib hump correction were prospectively assessed for a group of 100 patients pre-operatively and at two years after surgery. Patients with lower post-op major Cobb angles report significantly higher SRS scores than patients with higher post-op Cobb angles.

Cozy Campus Hideout Carved From A Former Parking Lot [Pics]
A group of South Korean architecture students collaborated with a design firm to reclaim a campus space for themselves.
At the University of Seoul, design firm UTAA and architecture students Lee Sang-myeong, Ha Ki-seong, Baek Jong-ho from the school have collaborated on a new 'rest hole' retrofitted from a first-floor parking lot/carport in a dormitory building on campus, and we doubt anyone will be complaining about the loss of parking.
The new hangout space, which manages to be both cozy and airy through its use of curved wooden panels, replaces a dark space that was used for few things other than cars, bike parking, and smoking, and perhaps some unsafe late-night activities. The lightweight and warm-colored organic materials and nature-inspired shapes provide a pleasant contrast to the large supporting columns. The concealment of these unfortunate 'features' of the dormitory building were one of the top priorities of the team. The former look of the site is below.
The interior space, which is lit by both natural and artificial light, has a fluid sense of movement thanks to the unique shape of its 500 wooden pieces. For the material, the students settled on a type of engineered wood called glulam, made out of larch wood, for its "flexibility and planned efficiency." Some of the glulam pieces were spaced very close together, about 90mm apart, to form "benches" for integrated seating. As seen in some of the photos of the site in action, it's also a spacious enough site to accommodate additional chairs, making it a true social study space. It will be fascinating to see how students take to it.

Startup Spotlight: Noodle.org helps students find the best place to learn
Choosing a school is one of the biggest commitments one can make, and the search isn't exactly an easy one. Whether you're looking for a pre-school or a pre-med program, the options are endless, and a quick web search just doesn't cut it.
When you're investing what could be tens of thousands — sometimes over a hundred thousand dollars — you better be sure you make the right choice for the right reasons. Bridging the gap between guidance counselor and Google is New York City based startup Noodle.
The company, based in Chelsea with an office overlooking the Hudson River, was founded in 2010. Noodle was the brainchild of a couple of employees who revolutionized The Princeton Review, and the company of 12 seeks to fix a problem they see in today's education search. When CEO Joe Morgan and friends saw the ease of finding videos, products, and even romantic dates online, they realized that finding education was too difficult, especially in comparison to everything else out there. From this, Noodle was conceived. Take some like minded people with drastically differing resumes (from Harvard to Ironman challenges to tutors and teachers), and you have the birth of Noodle.org.
Noodle's question system is the lifeblood of the site. When you start your search for a school, it'll ask you the expected: where'd you go to high school, what were your SAT scores, what's your overall GPA? After that, the site continues with the typical academic interview questions: how big of a school would you like, how much does cost matter, and what's your location preference?
But Noodle goes a step further than the generic questions in a real attempt to match students to where they are a perfect fit. Thirty-five percent of students who attend college drop out within the first year, and while there is no perfect science to it, it's not always due to grades. Finding a fit both academically and socially is imperative to helping students, which is Noodle's ultimate goal — and where the site really flourishes. After the round of traditional questions, Noodle asks: "How do you feel about fraternities and sororities?" The colloquial feel of the site makes students feel more at home; with questions like "Which type best describes you?" and answers that range from "preppy" to "geeky" to "alternative" to "I'm not really just one thing." In a nutshell, Noodle helps students find answers to questions that guidance counselors might not think to ask but are at the top of students' lists. Also included in the Q&A section are questions about religious affiliation, how difficult/intense you like your classes, and whether or not you like the winter season.
Right now, Noodle is a little more than half operational. There are some technical issues with the site, but it'll do what you ask of it, for the most part. Perhaps the biggest draw of people would come looking for colleges, and that is totally available and usable right now. In addition to colleges, K-8, high school, tutoring, and a few graduate programs are searchable through Noodle's interview system in hopes of matching you to the best fit. For now, there are some searches that are grayed out (unavailable), like career counseling, summer camp, learning disabilities, and after school activities, but they will soon be functional. The company fills an obvious void, and investors have taken notice.
Only in their initial round of investing, Noodle has secured $5 million from various venture capitalists eager to be a part of the project. That money paired with the over $7 million in anticipated revenue this year means the site may complete the other programs it has lined up and add more in the future.
I peeked around for the purposes of this article and wound up making an account for personal use. It's the first comprehensive option available for those that might not have help in finding a place of learning that I've seen, and I'm excited for the future of it. Do you find the polished site as attractive as I do? There's a comment section for a reason!

Unique Ford GT40 Race Set for 2013 Goodwood Revival
A groundbreaking one-model race for classic Ford GT40s will be one of the highlights of the Goodwood Revival next September here.
The Whitsun Trophy race for the 2013 Goodwood Revival on September 13-15 will mark 50 years since the start of the Ford GT40 program and Goodwood, true to form, is planning something pretty special.
"The plan for the GT40-only race at next September's Goodwood Revival is to have a full grid, meaning up to 30 GT40s competing in total," said Gary Axon, a Goodwood spokesman. "This has never been achieved before, and should be something quite exceptional."
Although the Ford GT40 program didn't begin on the track until 1964, work on the car started a year earlier with the development of Eric Broadley's Lola Mk6 GT in England.
After Ford had planned to buy Ferrari and was snubbed by Enzo Ferrari at the last minute, the GT40 was created by an incensed Henry Ford II specifically to take on and beat Ferrari at Le Mans.
This it ultimately achieved, winning the famous 24 Hours race four years running between 1966-'69.
This year at the Goodwood Revival, the organizers set up a stellar reunion between the prewar German "Silver Arrows" — Mercedes-Benz versus Auto Union — for the first time since 1939 and many were wondering how on earth Goodwood could ever top that.
By coming up with this unique Ford GT40 race, Goodwood has successfully answered that question, in style.

HPA Motorsports Inc. is proud to announce its involvement in working with Motor Trend Magazine to build a wild, 400+ hp car for charity. A simple enough exercise right? Not so when you factor in that the entire car has to be assembled from parts available for bid and purchase at ebaymotors.com.
The entire build is part of the Primedia Editors Charity Challenge, involving ten teams from different Primedia publications who have been giving $25,000 to build the best and most desirable car they possibly can from parts available on ebay.com. Ultimately the vehicles will be performance tested and then auctioned off for charity (and, of course, for bragging rights as to which vehicle is the coolest).
The deserving charity is Charity Cars of Longwood, Florida, a non-profit organization devoted to supplying needy, work oriented people with safe reliable automobiles.
John Kiewicz of Motor Trend started this challenge with a rare find on ebaymotors.com, a 2000 Golf GTI with a 4motion conversion already installed for $10,000! Although a bare bones chassis with no engine, this is a terrific start to what will be a budget performer. In addition to the shell, a 2.8L VR6 sporting a 390hp HPA turbo system and 6 speed trans was sourced for the power plant. Other pieces squandered off of ebay include: a custom leather/suede interior, nitrous oxide looking bazooka subwoofer, a Euro-spec R32 body kit, and a KW coil-over suspension system.
Looking over the parts list and watching the car get assembled in the HPA shop has left me to believe that the other teams involved in the challenge should be pretty worried, because this car is together, its going to haul. But then again this isnt a personal competition its for charity. Yea, right.

text: What a great plan. Gee, let out all the "non violent" offenders. What do those "non violent" offenders do when they run out of drug money? Yes, you guessed it - robbery, burglary, etc... Remember, they will ban our guns "for the children". Oh, and how'd that "assault" weapons ban do? It didn't reduce crime one bit. It's a proven fact, criminals do not follow the law. And, true "assault weapons" have been illegal for quite some time, we didn't need an additional law to make it more illegal.

One of my top resolutions was to get to one of Austin's farmer's markets every week, all year long. We went last night were not disappointed. Not that we ever are, but I was wondering what the winter harvest would look like. Looked like this:I made insanely good veggie omelettes for dinner... those deeeelicous eggs, minced beets, chopped portabellas (portobellos) and garlic, spinach, purple onions, and cheese. Um, no, the cheese wasn't from the FM, but it was local stuff from Pure Luck Farm (GAWD that cheese is gooooood). I'm gonna make a cream of cauliflower/turnip/winter squash/sweet potato soup tonight. Can you see my halo shining from where you are?
The first thing I did when I got home from Australia was look in my garden. Well, if I am to be honest, it was the second thing I did. The first thing I did was crack a Real Ale Full Moon Beer and then I walked out to the garden. (Did I tell you how disappointed we were with Australian beer? Booooring.) We were thrilled to find that our broccoli had survived the freeze and there were 3 good heads to pick. FinnigantheCurious and I got out the ole Swiss Army Knife (he loves to cut...being a boy and all) and hacked them off. We then climbed on the trampoline, poured a bowl of blue cheese dressing, and went to town. It makes me all teary to see my boy, who could care less about food (can you imagine?), chowing down on something so wonderful and knowing that we grew it ourselves. I'm telling ya, growing food is one of life's greatest joys...it just is. That and cheese. And beer. And traveling. And coming home.
We live on smoothies in the summer, but not so much in the winter. I decided that was just poopy silly so we made some. Check out my Daddy's old blender. I think it's from the 70's, I really do. It just keeps on chuggin'. I kinda wish it would die so I could get a new fancy one, but not really. Only a hausfrau geek like me would take a picture because the orange buttons on the blender looked so great with the purple smoothie and the orange straws. I'm just weird like that. So are you...I know it.
I'll let you know how the soup comes out.
OMG...did I TELL you that I have become allergic to kiwi? Isn't that just the weirdest thing? I had an episode about 3 months ago and had no idea what caused it. Two days before we left Australia the same thing happened, but this episode was bad bad bad. I almost went the ER. We were utterly baffled as to the cause. Well, lo and behold, yesterday I sat down to lunch with the small boy and I cut up a kiwi. I ate a slice, then another, then the burning/swelling started and I realized that was it!! Fortunately, I had some kid Benadryl on hand and I gulped some down. That seemed to head it off at the pass somewhat. I did still have the burning, swollen mouth and throat but none of the other awfulness that I won't gross you out with. Turns out kiwi is one of the Top 10 allergens in the world. See, healthy food 'aint all it's cracked up to be. My mama said that if I had been sitting down to a nice fine lunch of fried chicken and mashed potatoes, such a terrible thing would have never happened to me. She's a wise woman. I was just about to go eat something healthy right now, but, on second thought, I'm just gonna go finish off that round of Pure Luck cheese.

Hi guys,
One of the things that really bothers me about the CTS-V is the excessive chrome on the car, the wheels and especially the front grill.
I just came across this picture. What grill is this? Is this custom?
Fit and finish is TOP PRIORITY and I want it to look like it came from the factory.

Our team relies heavily on Dropbox for all of our projects. A major limitation to the free edition of Dropbox is that multiple users can't synchronize the same files unless they all use the same credentials. Also it's limited to 2GB of storage. That's where Dropbox Pro and Dropbox for Business come in.
Several years ago we made the decision to go all in on Dropbox for our company. We purchased the Dropbox for Business plan and never looked back. It's fairly expensive at first glance ($795/year for 5 users + $125/year for additional users), but the features you gain along with unlimited storage are invaluable for a digital business.
Having unlimited storage in the cloud is very liberating. We literally never think about it, we just load up any and everything we need to accomplish our work. Every team member has access to the same files and we're always in sync. The days of non-stop email attachments during the revision process are gone for us. We have access to our files from anywhere there is an internet connection - also priceless. Our laptops, desktops, smart phones, tablets , and home computers are all equipped with the Dropbox app - and when all else fails we can use the web app.
Our data and our work have become ubiquitous...in a good way.
You probably knew all of that already, but here are some features of the business edition that you may not be aware of. Included with the plan are:
Unlimited file recovery
Unlimited version history
Single Sign On and Active Directory Support
Login, device, and location tracking
Priority email and phone support
Dedicated deployment specialists
Those are all significant value adds to a business account. To us the most important extra features are the unlimited file recovery and unlimited version history. It's a pretty remarkable offering when you're talking about unlimited data storage and an impressive technical accomplishment. We've had dozens of occasions where something was overwritten by accident or delete by accident. After the initial panic by the user comes the relief provided by the recovery and version history restoration.
Here's a true story of something that happened to me three days ago. While I was out of the office, someone came in and took an ancient iMac out of storage and brought it home to use for god knows what. 3 years ago I had connected my dropbox account to this iMac when doing some iOS development work and had carelessly never removed the link. When this person fired up the computer, they began clearing space on the hard drive, which included deleting everything out of my Dropbox folder. The mass deletion spread across all of my devices and within minutes my Dropbox account was completely empty. Now I was panicking. Years of work and several hundred GB of data was nowhere to be found. I sent an email to Dropbox via my account which has priority email support and in under 40 minutes they had responded with detailed instruction on how to recover everything. They also provided the details to track down how this happened in the first place. After a lengthy resync, I'm back in action - good as new.
Dropbox has changed the way our company does business. It's also made our data safer and more available. It's hard to put a pricetag on that. I know there are alternatives out there - Box.net, SkyDrive, Google Drive, and many others - but based on our experience with Dropbox, we'll be grateful and loyal customers for many years to come.

Hal Rogers
The long list of earmarks he's steered to well-connected campaign contributors shows Rep. Hal Rogers has yet again earned the title "Prince of Pork."
The Kentucky Republican earmarked millions of dollars to a Kentucky manufacturer, Phoenix Products, which produces leak proof drip pans for the Army. The Phoenix drip pans cost an average of $17,000 each, even though a competitor charges about $2,500 for a similar part.
Rep. Rogers, nicknamed the "Prince of Pork" for his habitual earmarking, has taken more than $35,000 in campaign contributions from the owners of Phoenix Products and employees of its lobbying firm.
- Seventeen-term member of Congress representing Kentucky's 5th district
- Under investigation by the U.S. Army's Office of the Inspector General for earmarking millions of dollars to a company whose owners and lobbyists have donated tens of thousands of dollars to his campaign and leadership PAC
- Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee
- One of two members of Congress from Kentucky named to CREW's Most Corrupt
- Previously named to CREW's Most Corrupt report in 2007, 2008, 2011, and 2012
- Appeared in CREW's Family Affair exposé
- Read our April 2011 earmark exposé, Rep Rogers' Neighborhood

Dte, have you considered either an Artie or a Monk, or even a Druid? I know we currently have a few druids, but they are a solid support class. I really enjoy the AA; it's versatile and good for solo runs. I plan to keep mine for the epics.
Sherwin, I'd keep your Sorc through the epics, at least for a short while though you'd likely find them easier with a second lifer. I TR'd my Sorc into my AA, but there are other possibilities such as a Wizzie, or even another Sorc. One other thing to consider with a TR is whether or not to try a splash build. I have a couple and they seem to work well for me.
If God said it, then that settles it!!

U.S. Cities Still Feeling Impact of Recession
The vast majority of city finance officers reported worse financial conditions in 2010 than 2009, even as some sectors of the nation's economy have seen improvement. City revenues from property, sales and income taxes decline by 3.2%, a trend accounted for in part by decreases in housing prices.
To combat revenue loss, cities have cut spending by an average of 2.3%. Commonly employed cost-saving measures include laying off workers (79% of cities surveyed), delaying and canceling capital projects (69%), reducing health benefits (34%) and making across-the-board service cuts (25%).
Christopher Hoene, co-author of the report and director of the Center for Research and Innovation for the National League of Cities, cautions that the problem may be long-term:
'These stark numbers continue the trend we've been seeing for the past several years: lower revenue and reduced services at a time when there is an increased demand for services. Unfortunately, because of the loss in revenue, cities will face even more difficult circumstances in the months, if not years, to come.'

N.Y. police fatally shoot man firing machine gun into air
The Associated Press
"It was just pow, pow, pow, pow, pow," said Vincent Ho, who was at a dentist's office and said he heard at least seven shots.
Shoppers and commuters on the busy strip in the Jamaica section of the borough of Queens scrambled for cover.
Police, who received several 911 calls, said they confronted the gunman around 5:45 p.m. in an area crowded with shops and medical offices. The gunman was shot in a parking lot behind a row of stores after an exchange of gunfire and was taken to a hospital, police said. His condition wasn't immediately disclosed.
Three people who had been walking with the man were taken into custody, and the machine gun was recovered in the parking lot, police said.

Ever since Puritans plunged into the New England wilderness, determined to renounce worldly corruptions and establish "a city upon a hill", American preachers have thundered against the poison of irreligion. So, too, today. Christian ministers never sound more emboldened than when they are lambasting secularism as the greatest threat not only to the Church, but to American democracy.
And they have it mostly wrong, writes Ross Douthat in Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics (Free Press, £16.24). The deep problem facing America is not the decline of religious belief. It is the collapse of traditional Christianity and the explosion of destructive pseudo-Christianities in its place. "For all its piety and fervour," Douthat writes, "the United States needs to be recognised for what it really is: not a Christian country, but a nation of heretics."
A conservative columnist at the New York Times, Douthat is that rarest of specimens among the media elite: an orthodox Christian who isn't ashamed of his (Catholic) church's teachings, yet doesn't blink at the foibles of the faithful. He even manages to find some kind words for heresy: its existence can keep the Christian faith from navel-gazing irrelevance.
Douthat takes aim at "the Church of America", which worships not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but the god within. Publishing phenomena such as Eat, Pray, Love — the story of a woman who abandons her husband to seek spiritual fulfilment — represent the religious zeitgeist. It is the happy discovery that deep within every human soul is divinity itself, waiting to emerge and help us actualise our dreams (or our sexual whims).

Re: BCM location 08 Escalade
Thanks Laura! Do I just remove it to see if it is experiencing the corrosion problem?
We just bought a 2008 Escalade ESV on the 27th of April with just about 60,000 miles.
We've been driving it without issue, since we purchased the vehicle. Absolutely no signs of anything being suspect.
Last night, my wife, two year old son and I left the restaurant where we had dinner and the problems began.
I hit the remote to open the rear gate so I could place the to go box from the restaurant, closed it by hitting the button. All good so far. Then I unlocked the doors with my remote. I got in the Escalade, interior lights came on and then I placed the key in the ignition, turned it to the first position, all dash lights came on, turn to start and everything went BLACK - interior lights went OUT, no clicking from the ignition - nothing.
It was like it had a dead battery.
I tried to jump it, got the interior lights on - so I thought we were good to go, tried to start and the same thing - everything went BLACK - no lights whatsoever.
Now I can't even get it to do a darn thing. Finally had to have it towed home and now it sits in my driveway.
I've read a lot of posts here and other sites, it sure seems there are a lot of TSBs on this model year regarding electrical.
Did I just buy a lemon? That's sure how I feel right about now...we've only put maybe 500 miles on this thing so far and it is now just a cold piece of steel decoration in my driveway.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Re: BCM location 08 Escalade
I responded to you regarding this same issue you posted about on another thread. I told you to private message me with your contact information, VIN and current mileage so we can further discuss your concerns and issues. Thanks!

I have a 2008 Escalade base model. I have a new Body Control Module to install. I looked under the driver side and do not see anything that remotely looks like the BCM I have. The part # is 25835966 is this the right part? if so where exactly is the BCM? Are their panel that need to be removed to expose it?
It could be the negative and positive cables I know they had this issue

David2008ESV I too place my bet on battery cables themself. I had severe corrosion on my negative & replace it with a simple one from Autozone. Not even 2 months later my trucks went completely dead while driving..no battery power whatsoever. I touch the positive and everything sprung to life. Seems as if the crimp in the OEM positive cable was weak. I hacked it off and crimped a new one on. 5 mo. & not single issue so far

how to debug existing notebook in workbench?
I am learning workbench. It is a little confusing to use for me
since it is not integrated with Mathematica itself, but here is
my question:
THe way I understand it so far, one creates a project, then there
appear 2 files A.m and A.nb.
One writes the function to debug in A.m, and then in A.nb, makes
a call to the function. Then debugger jumps to A.m and one can
step into the function.
This works ok so far.
But how do I debug an existing notebook? This is the part
which I can't figure out.
Suppose I have a notebook in ~/home/c.nb, and it in, there
in many functions, and a cell which calls these functions.
How do I tell workbench to open c.nb to debug and allow me
to put a break point there?
And yes, I did view the movies at WRI on workbench, but
they never seem to describe this part.
ps. Any plans to have debugger be integrated inside mathematica
itself so one does not need to start a new application to debug

There are certain elements of the Sony NEX-5R's design where little has changed between it and its predecessors, and one of these is the camera's menu system.
The main functionality is still categorised into various sub-menus, which include 'Shoot Mode', 'Camera', 'Brightness and Colour' and so on, with the various shooting functionality housed therein.
While these are easy enough to navigate, if you're in a hurry looking to change shooting settings then they can be somewhat of a chore to navigate and could well lead to you missing the shot that you were after.
The touch screen does provide an alternative way to navigate the menu system, although the touch screen itself is not without its flaws.
The screen and interface suffer from having buttons that are often too small for even modestly sized fingertips. An attempt to press a certain button can result in the opposite being pressed, and thus you find yourself in the wrong option and incredibly frustrated.
Although there are a range of physical buttons which mean that you don't need to be too concerned with the performance of the touch screen, it'd be good if the touch screen just worked.
While the actual body hasn't changes much from the NEX-5N, the top plate has. The NEX-5R now has an on/off switch, as opposed to a button on the 5N, that's located around the camera's shutter button, while the video button is out of way of the accidental presses now. But the most welcome feature is an all-new control dial.
This dial offers direct control over a range of different functionality – not only can it be used to control more common functions such as aperture and shutter speed, but it also allows for control over shooting modes and suchlike.
The NEX-5R's 'Fn' button, which is fully customisable, is now located to the right of the shutter button and as such offers quick access to a host of commonly used shooting tweaks.
The obvious omission here is a built-in flash, with Sony instead opting for a 'Smart Accessory Terminal' to which an external flash can be attached. The flash is supplied, though, so you don't have to shell out more to get one as on one or two similar style cameras.
But this is a small complaint considering what Sony has added, an ingenious self-portrait function. Flip the vari-angle screen upwards around 180 degrees so it's facing forwards and the NEX-5R automatically realises that you're looking to capture a self-portrait and readies the camera to capture that shot with by setting a three-second self-timer. It's may seem like a small thing, but it's a clever bit of design.
Although the Sony NEX-5R performs well on the whole, there are a few areas in which the camera disappoints.
One of these areas is start-up time. A criticism of the Sony NEX-5N was that it took too long to power up and this flaw remains with the NEX-5R. Although it powers up quick enough, it takes some three seconds before the screen feed appears.
As mentioned previously, the camera's menu system is another area that disappoints. The system could well do with a complete overhaul rather than the incremental changes seen here.
Those two negative points are the only real flaws in the camera's performance however, as on the whole the Sony NEX-5R is a capable performer.
The hybrid contrast and phase-detect AF system performs really well, by utilising phase-detect AF to determine the distance between the camera and the subject, then contrast-detect AF to fine-tune the focus. It's not as quick as the very fastest CSC focusing systems on the market, but it's certainly a lot quicker than non-hybrid AF systems.
The NEX-5R also has a respectable buffer capacity considering the speed at which it captures images. The camera managed nine Raw JPEG files at 10fps using a Class 10 card, with this increasing to 12 frames when shooting JPEG only.
Although the Sony NEX-5R doesn't feature in-camera stabilisation, all NEX lenses are image stabilised and as such blurry images shouldn't be an issue. One benefit of using optical image stabilisation, rather than in-camera stabilisation, is that it uses less battery power and as a result the NEX-5R manages around 330 shots on a single charge.

Is the nex5-T, the replacement of this camera not already out?
You should be reviewing the 5T. This one is over a year old.
It is coming, yes. We just realised we missed this one and wanted a review of it for reference. We also have a feature coming that includes it.
I just bought one of these last week. I got a refurb one for only £260 with the 18mm to 55mm lens. You can get some great deals from the sony outlet store, or amazon warehouse. I also have the rx100 so the good thing is the operating system is very similar. No mode dial is an odd omission, but I think this camera is amazing value. Sony cameras are fantastic all round, I was a canon man for years but now I am Sony all the way.
I don't quite understand reviewer's insistance that NEX cameras "don't have a mode dial" and that this is a crucially missing feature; my NEX-C3 came with the default setting that pressing the button of back-face rotary dial brings up the mode selection then the rotary dial switches. Sure it's a couple of button presses more than a dedicated dial, but it's incredibly easy to switch modes using this central button!
We will be.
I just wanted to note that not ALL NEX lenses are stabilized as mentioned at the bottom of page 2. The new NEX-5T is out, but honestly the only major thing they added was NFC. If you don't need that and don't care for the 16-50mm lens(over the 18-55mm kit), you can find great deals on the "old" 5R.
You have a typo under the Cons on the first page: Poorly though-out menu system should read Poorly thought-out. . . .
An excellent still photo camera. However, please be aware that the Sony NEX-5 and NEX-6 cameras have overheating issues that cause the device to shut down after 10+ minutes of video recording. These devices are often promoted as a good vlogging camera, but we ended up throwing ours in the bottom draw and replacing it with something else, because it kept turning off during video recording.

Culture Evolves Slowly, Falls Apart Quickly | Wired Science | Wired.com: "Societies come together slowly, but can fall apart quickly, say researchers who applied the tools of evolutionary biologists to an anthropological debate.
Using archaeological records and linguistic analyses rather than fossils and genes, they created an evolutionary tree of political forms once found in Pacific islands.
The study, published October 13 in Nature, was intended to illuminate an issue of contention among archaeologists, anthropologists and historians: whether societies become more complex in incremental steps or sudden bursts, and whether they dissolve in similar fashion..."

THE DETAILS: High rates of Parkinson's disease have been reported in farmers and rural populations, raising suspicion that pesticides can trigger the disorder. In this study, researchers enrolled 368 longtime residents of California's Central Valley who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's and another 341 residents as a control group. Residents who lived within 500 meters of fields sprayed with the fungicide maneb and the herbicide paraquat between 1974 and 1999 had a 75 percent higher risk of developing Parkinson's, compared with those who lived farther away. In people diagnosed with the disease before they were 60 years old, researchers found earlier exposure increased their risk for the disease as much as four- to sixfold. Exposure to just one type of pesticide increased their risk more than twofold.
"The results confirmed two previous observations from animal studies," says Beate Ritz, the study's senior author and professor of epidemiology at the UCLA School of Public Health. "One, that exposure to multiple chemicals may increase the effect of each chemical. That's important, since humans are often exposed to more than one pesticide in the environment. And second, that the timing of exposure is also important."
Take the following steps to rid your own property of toxic chemicals to help contribute to the cleanup of our food and water supply:
• Start in your own backyard. Americans dump nearly 90 million pounds of herbicides and pesticides on their lawns every year. If you need a little data to deter you from using chemicals on your lawn and garden, consider the following facts:
‣ Much of those chemicals run off and contaminates drinking water supplies.
‣ A popular chemical in "weed and feed" products, 2,4-D, has been linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This chemical was detected inside 63 percent of homes, because it's tracked in from outdoors.
‣ A Journal of the National Cancer Institute study found exposure to garden pesticides can increase the risk of childhood leukemia nearly sevenfold.
‣ More than half of the 30 most commonly used lawn pesticides are hazardous to birds and toxic to fish and aquatic life. Eleven of these pesticides can impact bees.
‣ Low levels of pesticides can promote miscarriages, and researchers have linked household pesticides to breast cancer in women.
‣ Herbicides used on chemically treated lawns can double your dog's risk of developing canine lymphoma.
An important point to realize is that you do have a choice: You can have a lush lawn and still protect your family's health by going organic. Everything you ever needed to know about gardening organically can be found at OrganicGardening.com [2].
• Vote with your wallet. The biggest change you can bring to the American market starts with how you spend your dollar. "Ordinary people can have an immense impact by changing their buying patterns. Buy organic, buy a good water filter, ask restaurants to offer organic items on the menu, get your hospital to go green [3], and patronize golf courses that have organic practices," suggests Porter. "Economics is immensely powerful and a change of only 0.5 percent market share has profound effects on a corporation."

87 octane 350 readings... for now it's not the distributor. Your combo is tried and true and typically produces upwards of 450HP and 450 or more Ftlbs of torque.
What intake do you have?
Last year I had a similar situation. Decided to change out the cam thinking it was a bad grind or something. When I pulled the intake I noticed it had the worst window match I'd ever seen.
It was an Edelbrock performer.. <good manifold but thick lipped and intended for porting. Before I got through with the porting I'd taken about .225" off the top off three of the intake ports on the manifold and close to a hundred off the bottoms of most of them. About a hundred off one side of a couple; kept on and trimmed the head ports and sanded the gaskets a bit to get it real close............
Stayed with my plan and changed out to a lesser cam anyway, <wish now I hadn't. Long story short it went from Jeckel to Hyde. It's one of the strongest 350s in the neighborhood..
Your heads are excellent, have big port windows and need the right intake to get a good window match.. I don't know... I'd like to verify the cam is a 60105lk and not defective in timing or something. Something is bad wrong..
Do you have a dial indicator and degree wheel?

I dropped by the gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse yesterday and observed a young lady showing pistols to a prospective customer. The young lady looked to be college age, early twenties, and fairly athletic. Just an awfully nice looking young lady.
The thing I noticed was how familiar she was with the guns stocked there ansd willing to show the customer the models he asked about. There were a few questions she referred to a young man working there, who knew about as much as she did. But when asked about DA only vs SA only she was ready to answer or tried the gun itself to determine the answeer.
If she had any shortcoming in this role it was in arm strength, as she at times had to exert a second, or third, effort, to open a slide.
She was helpful, friendly, and willing to spend time with a prospective customer. That, in itself, is a rarity nowadays.
Rather refreshing to see.
And, yes, I kept my mouth shut.

|Less than a week
|Reworn at: Kitacon 2014
After attending quite a few conventions now, I've always made a rookie mistake with my cosplays... to never bring anything practical XD Soo, I decided this year I will be smart about it by wearing something I can move round in if I wanna attend panels, take photos etc. more easily for a few hours each day.
And I decided, I wanted to cosplay Gou :) Truth be told there are not many animes where I find the side female character(s) as likeable when the anime is so male dominated. Most cases, it's not that the character is terrible, it's more they never stand out to me. But Gou I absolutely freakin adore as much as the guys!! <3
After all, what's not to like about a girl who speaks for most females watching this show? :b
Not many photos to show for this but this cosplay wasn't meant to be taken seriously; just for comfort really XD But I adore this cosplay :) I'd love to wear Gou again!

Darchinyan still hungry. Wants revenge vs. Donaire next
Two division former world champion Vic "Raging Bull" Darchinyan is hungrier than ever and looking for a big fight against Nonito Donaire. The two first met in 2007 with Donaire defeating Darchinyan and taking his world title and undefeated record in the process. "Losing my first fight to Nonito was a shock to everyone including me," said Darchinyan. "It's a loss I badly want to avenge."
Darchinyan's latest fight resulted in a fourth round TKO win over Javier Gallo. "I felt good in there. I got the rust out and now I'm ready for a big fight," he said. "Fighting Nonito Donaire would have special significance for me. It's the rematch I always wanted."
Manager Frank Espinoza thinks the fight can easily be made. "They're both with Top Rank Promotions and the timing's right for both of them," Espinoza stated. "Vic is very motivated for this fight. Every fighter wants a chance to avenge a loss."
Donaire, who's been taking time off to be with his wife and newborn, is due back in the ring soon. "I deserved the rematch when I first lost to Nonito," said Darchinyan. "I know he's planning to return. I'm here, ready and willing. I want to finally get my revenge."

Cincinnati added their 96th win of the season last night when they took their final series at Pittsburgh, winning 4-3. Johnny Cueto took the mound in search of his 20th win of the season. He did not get the win, but pitched well enough for one as a couple of unearned runs kept him from getting a decision. He threw seven innings, allowing six hits/one walk and one earned run while striking out six. Post season considerations limited him to 98 pitches and he finished the year at 19-9 with a 2.78 ERA, the lowest by a Reds pitcher since Jose Rijo in 1993.
Sam LeCure and Sean Marshall combined for a scoreless eighth with Marshall getting the win. Aroldis Chapman allowed the first three hitters on base in a dicey ninth inning. He got one out after an errant throw attempting to pick off the leadoff hitter who was thrown out trying to take an extra base at third. After a second walk and a single he struck out the final two batters of the game for his 37th save.
The Reds took a 2-0 lead in the third on an RBI double by Joey Votto and a run-scoring groundout by Todd Frazier before the home team tied them in the bottom of the inning on a Garret Jones home run. Two innings later they took the lead on an RBI single by Andrew McCutchen. Xavier Paul evened the score with a pinch-hit solo homer leading off the ninth. Later that inning Ryan Ludwick hit a pinch-hit double and Zach Cozart doubled home pinch runner Denis Phipps with the game-winner. The Reds had ten hits in the game with Wilson Valdez, Votto, and Miguel Cairo getting two each.
Jay Bruce, Ludwick, Cozart, and Scott Rolen were not in the starting lineup as the Reds have been resting regulars in preparation for the post season. Ludwick saw action as a pinch hitter after being a late scratch due to wetness on the field. Brandon Phillips was replaced by Cozart after tweaking his groin on said surface rounding second. It was a precautionary measure and he's expected to be available Monday. Bruce missed starter Wandy Rodriguez against whom he has only two hits in 32 AB with 16 K's. He entered the game as a pinch hitter and finished in right field. Before that Frazier made his first appearance in right this season. The win tied the Reds with Washington for the best record in the majors after the Nationals lost 10-4 at St. Louis. The Cardinals now have a two game lead over the Dodgers for the final wild card spot with three left to play.
Perhaps before the season the schedule-makers had in mind a showdown for the division championship when they had the Reds visit St. Louis in the final series of the regular season. The division has been decided for a while now with the Reds holding a ten game lead. The series will have some significance as the Cards will try to clinch the wild card spot and the Reds are vying for the top seed. They will need to have the best record outright to get it because the Nationals own the head-to-head tie breaker. Dusty Baker is expected to return to his position as manager making Sunday's game the last one as acting manager for bench coach Chris Speier. Bronson Arroyo is scheduled to take the hill against Jaime Garcia.
