|The purpose of the Master's thesis research is to study and disseminate the best practices of international double Master's degree programmes organization, implementation and development. The given research is focused on two main areas: motivation of higher education institutions to start double degree programmes and best practices of double degree programme design and implementation from the perspective of building joint curriculum and organizing balanced mobility and development of existing programmes in terms of increasing their quality and attractiveness. This is a case study of the double degree programmes between Russian and European universities.
The study findings reveal good developments in the field of double degree cooperation between Russian and European universities and a high motivation from both parties. The research depicts different models of building a joint curriculum and organizing academic mobility. The following areas could be outlined as development points for double degree programmes:
- Personal interest and commitment of organizers of double degree programmes;
- Comprehensive agreement between partners on different aspects and practicalities of the double degree programme implementation;
- Promotion towards more balanced student participation and two-way mobility;
- Foreign language skills improvement for students and university staff;
- Joint strategy and actions in marketing and quality assurance;
- Involvement of international companies;
- Wider usage of e-learning technology.

Apparel companies are driving pragmatic benefits deep into their PLM processes as they lay the foundation for future use of the mobile, analytical, social and innovation tools held as a promise for enabling long-term benefits from PLM initiatives.
"Social and mobile are disrupting traditional marketing," says Peter Leech, partner at The Partnering Group and former CMO of Onlineshoes.com.
Companies are eager to interact with the smartphone-wielding, Facebook-status-updating members of "Generation C."
How are apparel retailers using intelligent solutions to combat shrink — and improve the bottom line?
Guess Inc. has winnowed its vendor pool down to a core group of high-performing companies. Collaborating with them through two key technology platforms helps keep costs down and quality high.
PLUS: Vendor Viewpoint — Interview with Kurt Cavano, Chairman and CEO of TradeCard
U.S. brands going after the lucrative retail markets in Asia find that succeeding there requires more than a tweak or two to usual strategy, since one size most certainly does not fit all.
Levi's fine-tuned some of its iconic styles and incorporated high-tech finishes so that bicycle commuters can arrive at work clean, fresh, and comfortable.
Apparel's fourth annual Sustainability All Stars program recognizes Eileen Fisher, HanesBrands, Icebox Knitting and TAL Apparel for their willingness to measure, analyze and restructure across their enterprises now, and for their long-term vision of how much better things can be in the future.
As e-commerce grows and customer channels and preferences become more diverse, apparel brands and retailers are challenged to manage a complex mix of order profiles and service requirements. For an increasing number of firms, the answer is a flexible materials handling/warehouse automation solution.

Just read an excellent article on the subject by Tom Davenport. We at Forrester Research indeed see the same trend, where more advanced enterprises are starting to venture into combining reporting and analytics with decision management. In my point of view, this breaks down into at least two categories:
I know, I know, this is what analysts do. But I personally would never want to get involved in doing a BI market size – it's open game for serious critique. Here are some of the reasons, but the main one is a good old "garbage in garbage out." I am not aware of any BI market size study that took into account the following questions:
Plus many more unknowns. But, if someone indeed did do such a rough estimate, my bet is that the actual BI market size is probably 3x to 4x larger than any current estimate.
Posted by Boris Evelson on July 21, 2010
BI projects are never short, and, alas, many of them don't end since a fast-paced business environment often introduces new requirements, enhancements, and updates before you're even done with your first implementation. Therefore, we typically recommend doing sufficient due diligence upfront when selecting a BI services provider — as you may be stuck with them for a long time. We recommend the following key steps in your selection process:
Business intelligence (BI) continues to be front and center on the agendas of businesses of all sizes and in all industries and geographies. Ever-increasing data volumes, complexity of global operations, and demanding regulatory reporting requirements are just some of the reasons. But also, more and more businesses realize that BI is not just a tool but rather a key corporate asset that they can use to survive, compete, and succeed in an otherwise increasingly commoditized global economy.
However, we consistently find that many BI initiatives fail and even more are less than successful. Well, maybe we can help. Even if just a little bit. Come to our interactive one-day BI Strategy Workshop to learn the fundamentals and best practices for building effective and efficient BI platforms and applications. The Workshop will also include hands-on exercises with tangible deliverables that you can take back to your teams to help you jump-start or adjust the course of your BI initiatives.
Why attend? Because hundreds of organizations have already benefited from reading Forrester research and working with Forrester analysts on the topics covered in this Workshop. I plan to present Forrester's most recent research on:

I get many questions on this subject and it often turns into almost a religious debate. Let's throw some structure into it. Here's a decision-to-raw-data stack.
Obviously, it's never a clear-cut, binary decision, but in my humble opinion:
What did I miss? Thoughts?

We all know that the war of fighting the proliferation of spreadsheets (as BI or as any other applications) in enterprises has been fought and lost. Gone are the days when BI and performance management vendors web sites had "let us come in and help you get rid of your spreadsheets" message in big bold letters on front pages. In my personal experience – implementing hundreds of BI platforms and solutions – the more BI apps you deliver, the more spreadsheets you end up with. Rolling out a BI application often just means an easier way for someone to access and export data to a spreadsheet. Even though some of the in memory analytics tools are beginning to chip away at the main reasons why spreadsheets in BI are so ubiquitous (self service BI with no modeling or analysis constraints, and little to no reliance on IT), the spreadsheets for BI are here to stay for a long, long, long time.
With that in mind, let me offer a few best practices for controlling and managing (not getting rid of !) spreadsheets as a BI tool:
Whoever said BI market is commoditizing, consolidating and getting very mature? Nothing can be farther from the truth. On the buy side, Forrester still sees tons of less-than-successful BI environments, applications and implementations as demonstrated by Forrester's recent BI Maturity survey. On the vendor/sell side, Forrester also sees a flurry of activity from the startups, small vendors and large, leading BI vendors constantly leapfrogging each other with every major and minor release.
In terms of the amount of BI activity that Forrester sees from our clients (from inquiries, advisories and consulting) there's no question that SAP BusinessObjects and IBM Cognos continue to dominate client interest. Over the past couple of years Microsoft has typically taken the third place, SAS fourth place and Oracle the distant fifth. But ever since Siebel and Hyperion acquisitions, the landscape has been changing, and we now often see Oracle jumping into third place, sometimes leapfrogging even Microsoft in the levels of monthly interest from Forrester clients.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124
Forum Moderators: buckworks
I have done all the homework I can and provisionally decided to go the X-cart route.
I backtracked over as many posts as I could on this forum and did not really find a bad word said about X-cart. There was an issue that came up more than once - i.e. that for X-cart to run the server must have PHP's safe mode turned off - but this was countered by others who said it should not be considered a problem. And I see plenty of people prepared to host X-cart which seems to concur with that argument.
I would like to know if there is any downside I have missed along the line?!
I am grateful for any advice and opinions.
Mark Barrett
The only downside I've heard of is that X-Cart is somewhat sluggish because it places a significant load on the server. I haven't seen this yet but I won't discount it either.
Thank you for that. I had read in one of the earlier posts that they are a Russian based business but I don't think that is too big a stumbling block.
I hope I don't have to eat my words here - but I am specifically going for a cart using PHP/MySQL because I have some knowledge there already and plan to use it as a vehicle to take my skills to the next level.
So the aim is that I try to look after any mods myself. If I get in trouble there is doubtless a helpful and knowledgeable group on their forum - as here.
So I think my mind is pretty much made up now - time to take the plunge!
Also, and you may not care about this, but they aren't a pro-active company - there are lots of people developing plugins, but they don't like that, they look at it as competition while they should be working with them, since it is like free marketing to seem popular enough for people to develop plugins for your product.
I have a site limping along with LiteCommerce, but I'm going to switch to Pinnacle cart as soon as they release their new version. The LiteCommerce installation has never operated very well - all these performance problems. Right now it's throwing segmentation faults in my apache log files, killing apache deamons for no reason. blah. It's an ongoing struggle with this software.

Posted by Cassie Hall '13, Brookings, SD on Tuesday, Mar. 27, 2012
The Second Annual Prairie Gate Literary Festival will be held in Morris, Minnesota on the evenings of March 29 and 30 and all day on March 31, 2012. The festival offers participants the opportunity to learn from writers, editors, and other literary arts professionals through author readings, workshops, and panel discussions.
According to student coordinator Jessie Sherman '12, Bozeman, Montana, the festival was created to provide a place for aspiring writers and literary enthusiasts to learn from and interact with published writers. The goal of the festival is to "strengthen the role of the literary arts in our community, as well as increase and deepen the audience for literary arts," Sherman said.
This year's presenters include award-winning poets Ilya Kaminsky and Simone Muench, award-winning author Susan Power author, humorist, and indie-country musician Michael Perry, and graphic novelists
Britteny Sabo and Anna Bratton, recipients of the Xeric Award.
"I am so incredibly excited about the caliber and variety of this year's lineup", said Sherman.
Workshops, readings, and social activities will be held throughout the day on Saturday, March 31. The cost of the workshops will be $20 each or $30 for two. The cost of lunch is included in the workshop fee. The festival will take place on the Morris campus and at the Morris Public Library.
For more information on the festival, writer bios, and workshop registration, visit the PGLF website.

Iron Ore Demand from China and ASEAN will Lift Prices
Economist and Hedge Fund Manager Shayne Heffernan of www.livetradingnews.com takes a look at Iron Ore and China.
Iron Ore has been a bumpy ride over the last few years, 2011 iron ore prices that averaged more than $US150 a tonne and peaked at more than $US180 a tonne.
This year they moved to $US130 a tonne, and then scared the mining world when they went below $US90 a tonne at the end of August.
In 2013 we expect to see $160 as they high and $140 as the average.
The flood of freshly printed money from Japan, Europe and the USA will end up in Asia, Asia will grow at a record rate and Iron Ore prices will follow.
Talk of the Iron Ore boom as being dead is a little premature, it is my opinion that the pricing is reflective of China buying, not China demand. As the chart below indicates it seems buying from China comes in waves, the price rises and China builds stockpiles, the stockpiles are used, China starts buying again and the wave returns.
To me it looks like we are approaching that point now. You will need to double click the chart to see the full screen image. What you will see is a broad channel that is consistently making it's way higher.
While Europe and the US struggle in economic terms, ASEAN + 6 is about to become the world's largest trade bloc, not sometime in the future, some time in the next year. This is where demand for Iron Ore will come from, and prices will rise.
Australia, despite the efforts of Wayne Swan etc, is well placed to be a big winner in the Iron Ore business, proximity, quantity and quality are all on Australia's side.
Who knows, maybe Twiggy will make enough money to finally pay back his old 5/8.

Does anyone have one of these bad boys? If so what do you think? I am really eyeballing one and I would like a little input from the DC revolver crew.
Smith & Wesson 327 M&P TRR8
Ccccccc what? Ccccccccccc Hawks!
I don't personally own one, but a customer does amd I've done a bit of trigger work on it and shot it a bunch.
My impression was that it was a very nice revolver, but nothing special internally that sets it apart from any other new S&W. The price is out of my league. After a bit of gunsmithing the trigger was smooth and practical accuracy was great with the range ammo I shot it with. I saw a work order on the bench and I think this customer has ordered night sights but I'm not sure if it's for this gun or not. Been out a few days from the shop.

I can't say I'm part of that percentage, which oddly seems a bit large.
Anyone who can spare the cash for it try The World Ends With You doesn't seem like a game you can put down easily.

The only free game I play is mytown 2 and I've been playing it for two months!
#1 reason is on android 99% of games are free some aren't as good but they are free also music is free like Frostwire and many others this is why I keep my Evo and use it for wifi so I can play free games and downloads music then just transfer music
Same here the only really game i ever got into was order and chaos online idk i just cant get into touch controlls
I'm not offended, you're simply wrong. While MANY iOS games don't have significant depth, there are quite a few that do, often times those are ported from a different system, but they are on this platform and for the sake of your argument, it proves you are wrong.
And there are many an iOS game developed for the platform that have a fair bit of depth, but the entire platform is built on the casual mentality, it's made for pick up and play immediacy.
But games like Waking Mars, Sword and Sworcery, Junk Jack, Dungeon Raid are filled with depth, they're better than many a console game. And don't even get me started on the huge collection of board/card games that have insane depth and staying power for many people.
Just because you don't like iOS gaming and think it has no depth for YOU doesn't mean that is the case for everyone.
iOS gaming is only for kids if that's the mentality you enter in with. For the rest of us, we are incredibly satisfied with what we get for what we pay. The fact that you're pitting games that cost an average of a dollar against console games with budgets in the multiple millions that cost 60 times as much. There is brilliance on every platform, you just have to be willing, and smart enough, to actually LOOK.
I really dont like how we cant test out a game then decide to buy it and if its worth playing then its worth buying ill buy it.

iOS games will always be less than PC or Mac.
What you can do on iOS you can do better on PC.
iOS games is for people trying to pass the time, waiting in line or got nothing to do.
My iPhone and iPad nev gets any use when ever I am near a computer.
Yeah I do that too. That's because I'm looking for a game that will last and I still haven't found one. CSR racing is more than a day.
I can't say I'm part of that percentage, which oddly seems a bit large.
Anyone who can spare the cash for it try The World Ends With You doesn't seem like a game you can put down easily.
I have four free games that I have kept longer than a few hours, although should a fremium game be classed as free? -
Tapped out.
CSR Racing.
Recommend them all.
I've kept other free games but once completed they get deleted.
Thats why I went for the 64GB iPad as it holds the most.
I got heaps of games on mine that are either not even started or not finished.
The main reason is the stupid controls. I've been using a controller for so long and touch screens are just not good enough for games as you need to feel the controls not look at them, then look at where you are in the game then back to the controls.
If there were hardware buttons then it would be heaps better but as its all touch screen thats the downside of games on the iPad.
Now, back to gaming on the PS3 with a real controller.
Gameloft has a whole lineup of console-quality games that you can sit down and play at home for days and include online multiplayer.
Note that when I say console quality I'm not saying the graphics are necessarily on par (even though the iPhone 5 is capable of "console-quality" graphics according to the iPhone 5 keynote), but it includes a lengthy campaign mode, challenges, missions, online multiplayer, and most of those goodies you'll find in a console game.
Can games look better on a PC or Mac? Probably. The GPU in a computer will probably always be better than a mobile device, so it will always feel much more realistic. Controls will be preferred by some with a game controller or a keyboard, while others may like using the touch screen.
I've felt like I was a part of the game playing Modern Combat 3 on my iPhone and it felt almost the same way I did when I played Modern Warfare on my computer. That being said, I wouldn't bash on the quality of iOS games. They have come a long way.
When apple come out with a remote control for video games that will change fast. Don't see why in 5 years they haven't done this yet.
Touch screens work if implemented correctly for the game; or implemented along with hardware controls.. I got a PS Vita and like when they use the touch screen properly but for most part controls are still handled by the physical buttons and controls. But I been gaming for a very long time and prefer physical controllers a lot more than touch controls.

I'm included in that statistic, even with the paid games! I have 3, count 'em THREE folders full of games on my 3GS, some free and some paid, and I haven't played a one of them in probably months. For awhile I was hooked on Angry Birds like half the rest of the world lol, and I also played Cut The Rope, Bejeweled 2, Labyrinth 2, and Electric Box a ton there for awhile. Tried Doodle Jump but it was never as addictive as people said it was. I don't have any RPG games as I've just never been into that sort of gaming.
Lately I just haven't played any games at all, on any platform. Life getting in the way I guess. In my free time I'm usually out cycling.
Mobile games are getting more and more advanced. Some are very stupid, but a lot of them already have 3d graphics and so on.

The history of Turkey has been replete with constant warfare against Kurds in the country who believe themselves subjected to discrimination and have been fighting for a separate nation. That dream is not possible since no Turkish government would allow a portion of the country to become a new nation. However, the Turkish government has launched a new initiative which seeks to connect with moderate Kurds and establish some form of local autonomy. Government officials met with representatives from the Peace and Democracy Party(BDP) in order to initiate a dialogue. These sessions came on the heels of a urging by the BDP to Kurds which urged a boycott of the nation's schools for a week in protest against failure to provide Kurdish children with instruction in their native language. There are unconfirmed reports Turkish officials have opened a dialogue with imprisoned Kurdish leader, AbdullarhOcalan.
The talks come in the aftermath of a national referendum which seeks to revise the Turkish Constitution and end several anti-religious sections. On one hand, secular supporters are concerned the religious right might revise the Constitution in order to strike down secular rights. On the other hand, the European Union insists on Constitutional changes which would control military leaders from exerting control. Who knows, perhaps, Kurds, religious leaders, secular groups and who knows what can one day all come together and live in peace.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
I have been involved in construction all of my life, so as a lawyer it was a natural fit. The Builders Exchange was the first step in being able to work to help subcontractors and suppliers level the playing field. The American Subcontractors Association was the next step. While the Builders Exchange is vital for all members of the construction industry at evey level, the ASA is vital for all subcontractors and suppliers because there we work to help subcontractors find better jobs with the best contractors, to negotiate contracts that are fair and to treat their businesses as professinal businesses.
We also work as the only advocate who works ONLY for subcontractors and suppliers, in the Courts, and Federal and state legislatures and with the other members of the construction industry, with AGC, ConsensusDOCS, AIA and other trade associations.
As the Chair of the Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund (SLDF) I work directly on Court of Appeals Cases which are important to Subcontractors, either to keep good existing laws or change bad laws. The SLDF provides free Amicus briefs across the country, whereever we find cases where we can make a meaningful impact.

I learned how it is to be on your own and how different it is to be away from the people who you used to depend on the most when you were back at home. I learned a lot about how to manage time and money because being a student living on campus can be very expensive and of time's essence. You have to learn to make time to have fun because you have to stay so focused on doing homework and meeting deadlines. I learned educationally as well. Depending on your class size can really determine your level of...

Networks are everywhere. We, human beings, are bound by social ties to our friends and colleagues, who in turn are bound to others, and so on - finally, each of us is part of an enormous social network spanning the entire planet. We think, feel, and perform actions as a result of electric signals flowing in the network of neurons which forms our brain. Within these neurons, and within the rest of the cells forming our bodies, proteins and metabolites form complex networks of interactions, giving rise to a living organism. This web page which you are reading has travelled to your computer through a very large network of interconnected computers - a network where no-one has central authority, but which is nevertheless remarkably efficient and robust.
Our research group studies these fascinating objects: networks which are rich, complex, and almost always self-organizing. The study of complex networks is part of a large-scale undertaking which has emerged during the recent years: attempting to understand the structure and function of complex systems, which consist of large numbers of interacting elements - for example, the above-mentioned people, neurons, or computers. The network approach to complex systems has turned out to be particularly fruitful. In this approach, the interacting elements are represented by vertices of a network, and their interactions by edges connecting these vertices. So far, studies of the characteristics of complex networks have produced unexpected findings, such as the "small-world" property and broad connectivity distributions common to a large number of networks. It has turned out that seemingly very different networks share similar characteristics.
Network theory provides tools for understanding a variety of complex systems, and hence our studies also touch several fields of science. We study large-scale techno-social networks, harnessing electronic communication records which for the first time allow understanding the structure and dynamics of social systems even on the societal scale, where networks of social ties span entire nations. Within the EU-funded ICTeCollective research project, we worked in close collaboration with social scientists, computer scientists, and complexity scientists to uncover the dynamics of techno-social networks, and similar lines of research are continued in the project "Temporal networks of human interactions", funded by the Academy of Finland. I am also interested in networks of the human brain and network analysis of genetic information (stay tuned, first papers should be out in 2014).
Here is a popular-science-level talk on mobile phones & social networks.

Man dove from moving car to avoid argument with girlfriend
A man decided he would rather dive from a moving vehicle than continue arguing with his girlfriend.
According to a police report, an officer witnessed the incident and attempted to stop the driver, but 33-year-old Alice Finley sped away.
The man who jumped out of the car then tried to stop Finley by standing in the way of her car, but she only slowed down. The man then dove through an open window to attempt to stop her.
Finley finally stopped in a parking lot, where the officer has to physically drag her out of the car to arrest her.
The man said Finley was his girlfriend and he loved her. The two had been dating for nine months, but he jumped from the moving car because he did not want to continue arguing.
Finley was charged with attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle.

Plant's James Wilder Jr., recently named the country's No. 1 prospect by MaxPreps and CBS College Sports recruiting analyst Tom Lemming, wasted little time following the end of Plant's spring practice with Friday's jamboree against Jefferson, grabbing MVP honors the next day at a NIKE camp featuring more than 300 players in Tuscaloosa.
Wilder was named tops amongst all linebackers at the camp Saturday. According to the ESPNRISE report, Wilder was his usual dominant self when it came to pass rushing, but opened some eyes with his coverage abilities. Though he has expressed his desire to play running back in college, Wilder continues to make defensive coaches fawn.
"I was shocked to hear he wasn't a linebacker," LB coach Chris Gizzi told ESPN. "He had no problems flipping his hips and running with the running backs. He's a great kid too and worked really hard.
"Physically, he looks like a college player right now and had the biggest arms I've seen on a linebacker. He runs very well and I love how he competed. No matter where he plays in college, he's going to be a great player."
Wilder unofficially visited Alabama over the weekend. He recently told the Times that the Crimson Tide was the first school on him as a running back prospect and the defending national champions have stayed firm in their commitment to him as an offensive player.

Publication Acceptance Date: 10/20/2004
Publication Date: 1/20/2005
Citation: Steppuhn, H., Van Genuchten, M.T., Grieve, C.M. 2005. Root-zone salinity: I. Selecting a product-yield index and response function for crop tolerance. Crop Science 45:209-220. Interpretive Summary: Over the years many laboratory and field experiments have been conducted to estimate decreases in crop yield as a function of increasing levels of salinity in the soil root zone. Knowledge of the ability of crops to tolerate salinity and still produce a measurable agricultural product is critical to optimal management of salt-affected lands. A detailed assessment was made of available literature to devise a general relationship that accurately estimates crop yield in response to soil root zone salinity. Available data indicate that product yields of agricultural crops grown subject to increasing levels of root-zone salinity decrease according to a sigmoidal-shaped response curve. Comparisons among six possible empirical response models applied to the results from a spring wheat test crop reveal that the modified compound-discount function is the most precise. This function features two parameters: the salinity level causing a 50 percent product loss, and the absolute value of the general decline in relative crop yield with salinity at and about the 50 percent yield level. Combined, these parameters form a salinity tolerance index (the ST-Index) useful in developing crop lists of tolerances to root-zone salinity.
Technical Abstract: Six empirical functions were compared for describing the product yields of agricultural crops grown while subject to increasing levels of root-zone salinity. The four nonlinear functions fit the test data from a spring-wheat (cv: Biggar) experiment conducted in Canada's Salt Tolerance Testing Facility closer than the two linear functions. Although each of the four nonlinear declining functions could reasonably describe the data, the modified compound-discount equation recorded the lowest root mean square error and the highest R2-value. This is a sigmoidal function [Yr=1/(1+(C/C50)exp(s C50)] which relates relative yield (Yr) to a measure of root-zone salinity (C) such as the solute concentration with an electrical conductivity of an equivalent saturated soil paste extract (ECe). This function features two parameters, the salinity level producing 50 percent of the non-saline crop yield (C50) and the absolute value of the general decline in relative yield with salinity at and near C50, the steepness constant (s). These parameters combine to form a single-value, salinity-tolerance index (STI) consisting of the 50 percent reduction in crop yield (C50) plus the tendency to maintain some product yield as the crop is subjected to increasing salinity levels approaching C50, i.e., STI=C50+s(C50). The STI for the Biggar wheat registered 6.44. Approximations for C50 and s can be derived from the threshold salinity (Ct) and declining slope (b) parameters of the threshold-slope linear response function [Yr=1-b(C-Ct)]. Procedures for converting Ct to C50 and b to s offer linkages between these linear and nonlinear response function parameters, and are further explored in this paper's companion (Root-Zone Salinity: II. Indices for Tolerance in Agricultural Crops, by Steppuhn, van Genuchten, and Grieve, 2003). The resulting STI-values equal 6.56, 9.43, and 5.67 for sample field (corn), forage (alfalfa), and vegetable (radish) crops, respectfully.

Thread: I got my Kindle!
I got my Kindle!
~I've been looking and waiting for months for a great deal on a used one. I was sure that someone in our acquaintance had upgraded over Christmas and would have an older Kindle to get rid of so I mentioned it around but nothing. I mentioned it to my SIL over the weekend while we were visiting and she instantly got me connected with her friend's used reader. It's like brand new. It's an older model but is only 3 months "old" since it was a warranty replacement Kindle. The first one took a beating on deployment.
The 3G model is selling for $189 new right now and mine is very much like it. I easily kept my budget and really got a good deal.
It also came with a leather cover and the plug and cord. I already downloaded some free books and am checking out how to borrow books from my library. Any tips?
Word-of-mouth thrift shopping is a little weird since business between friends can be awkward but it does work if you're patient!~

~Mostly I like to read classics(which is awesome for all the free stuff!), Christian topical and Christan fiction, money matters, true historical crime books, political opinion, and anything related to small homes/space-saving/minimalism.
The first freebie I downloaded was "The Time Machine". None of my county's three libraries have it. Isn't that crazy?
Speaking of libraries, it seems that my county participates in Overdrive, the online borrowing portal. Has anyone used it? I want to confirm it's legit before I start an account with my email and library number. It has a great selection of best-sellers and current/popular fiction to borrow.
I'm going to try really hard to not spend any money on books this year at least. It may be impossible with Christian titles though. They're nearly impossible to find in libraries here. I wonder if CO will be any better in that area?~02-08-2012, 08:46 AM #6
My advice on free books check often as it changes often and always double check to make sure it is still free when you click that button. Had on change as I was getting ready to click the buy for free button. Bad timing on my part.
Oh, and it is sad that you find Christian fiction hard to find in your library. Our has a whole section just for Christian fiction. My library calls them inspirational fiction my mom's library calls them gentle reads.02-08-2012, 09:34 AM #7

You will find tons of Christian and Christian fiction titles listed on ereaderiq.com, a site that someone already mentioned. Each title has a basic genre listed with it, and you can also run a filter to find just those. I check it often for sci-fi titles.
If you find a free title you are even remotely interested in, get it then. Some are free for only a day or, I suspect, even less, and there is no way to tell which ones those are. You can always delete them from your Amazon archive later if you change your mind and don't want it.
I use Overdrive for the occasional audio book.
I only find a very few, and insignificant things for free of audible, and you have to be a member. If you are looking for free audio, you can check out librivox.org. I've downloaded a couple of things. I thing the quality is pretty uneven, because the readers are volunteers. Of the two I tried - I don't even remember what they were - one reader I really did not like, the other was excellent. I listened to them on an MP3 if I remember, not the Kindle, so I don't know if they work on that. Audible titles do, of course.02-09-2012, 07:38 AM #11
~The posted sites are so helpful! TY everyone!~02-09-2012, 05:18 PM #12
Many public libraries use Overdrive it's the tool you need. The Books on the Knob site I mentioned earlier almost always has free or almost free Christian fiction and non-fiction books listed.

American Tower Corporation, the company that wants to build a distributed antenna system (DAS) to improve cell phone coverage in the three up-Island towns, has dramatically changed its proposal following an emotional public hearing earlier this month during which residents raised concerns about aesthetics, finances and health, a company spokesman said yesterday.
The plan to build a distributed antennae system (DAS) to boost cell phone coverage in the three up-Island towns appears to be moving ahead without West Tisbury, after the town zoning board ruled that the American Tower Company must apply for 23 individual permits to use utility poles around town.
Selectmen in Chilmark and Aquinnah already have voted to sign contracts with American Tower.
Aquinnah selectman Camille Rose said she was disappointed West Tisbury will not be included in the DAS plan.
This time with a quorum, Edgartown voters at a special town meeting Tuesday night agreed to allocate money for an appraisal of the Capt. Warren House and approved the conversion of silos at Katama Farm into cell towers.
A total of 168 voters attended the special session. The meeting was rescheduled from last week after falling 20 voters shy of a quorum. Moderator Philip J. Norton Jr. presided over the 15-article warrant.
All articles were approved.
A conflict about a wireless cell phone equipment in abandoned silos in Katama came to a swift resolution this week, with members of the Farm Institute, which leases the land, saying they are now in favor of hosting the cell tower. The Edgartown selectmen Tuesday voted in favor of AT& T's proposal to install the equipment.

hi Mountain Woman, I cannot believe there is someone who has had the exact 2 cancers I have had. I also started with breast cancer..mastectomy in
January 2009...then, this past May 2013 was told I had ureter cancer. I also had my kidney, ureter and bladder cuff removed in June 2013. Both my
cancers were also high grade. How are you doing now after the surgery? Did they want you to have any treatments?
Best Wishes,
Nov 27, 2013 - 1:26 pm
Hi cosmikit,
I have this ureter cancer too. Mine was stage 3 with metastasis.
My surgery was robotic and the recovery was very easy. I can't have any additional treatments because my remaining kidney can't filter the chemo drugs. I was offered a clinical trial.
We are amongst the few with this kind of cancer.
Best to you,

I was lookin' around on Star Wars Helmets and saw a really nice Boba helmet made by "VTwins". I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get in contact with them? Or if anyone has heard of them?
Appreciate any help.
I was lookin' around on Star Wars Helmets and saw a really nice Boba helmet made by "VTwins". I was just wondering if anyone knew how to get in contact with them? Or if anyone has heard of them?
Appreciate any help.
I've never heard of them. Do you have a link to where you found them?
I believe that V-Twins only did the paintjob on the helmet. I think he's also a 501st member, I remember watching his 501st badge being lasercut now that I see his logo. Offhand I can't tell if that's a helmet they built themselves, I can't pinpoint what kind of helmet it would be otherwise.
Thanks for lookin' anyway Hopefully i'll be able to find out, it's a really impressive Boba.
After searching around a little bit i think VTwins are SSProps. Hope this helps anyone else that wanted to know
they both are itallian garrison members. they have built there own snowtroopers, which are the best ones ive ever seen in person.
you can find them on their italica forums. they speak english fairly well, so drop in and say hi. you might even see me there!

I know Piero and his brother fairly well, and sadly they don´t produce Boba parts, they only made the one for themselves..
They totally cool guys though! Italian cowboys
I'm pals with them too and I'm sure they can help you with whatever you need. Let me know if you need help getting in touch with them. I have a buddy that got in on one of their only run of TS' and it's an amazing kit for sure. They don't really sell armor though which is a shame...
Thanks for the help Can't get anything yet though, still trying to get enough funds
I met up with the "Vtwins" a few years back at one of the 501st Florida Disney gigs - They're a couple of really nice guys.
They occasionally send me photos of their stuff but apart from that they tend to keep a very low profile.
They are my friends...
the helmet,if i remember,it's a Mystery helmet reworked and painted by Piero.

What's It Like to Spend a Day at Seventeen?
Remember that "Day at Seventeen" sweepstakes I talked about in the May Freebie issue? Well, I'm excited to say that we have a winner, and Chloe, 17, got to cash in her prize last week!
Thanks to STA Travel, she was flown from her hometown in Florida to New York City and stayed three nights in the beautiful Carlton Hotel. Besides getting luxe spa treatments from the SpaChakra Spa, she also got to experience our Seventeen world for a day.
We chatted about what it's like to work for the most fun magazine in the world (OK, I'm a little biased!), and Chloe got a tour of the office. She even got to raid the beauty closet for her favorite products and some she wanted to try out.
Check out Chloe's article on what her experience was like here. What grand prize would you love to win from Seventeen? Tell me about it in a comment below!

Hempfield shooting suspect now facing attempted murder charges
Investigators filed new charges Friday against a Hempfield man accused of firing 17 shots at state troopers last week during a standoff.
Daniel Lee Ryan, 44, of 122 Antler Lane was arraigned Friday morning and now faces six counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer in addition to 17 counts each of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment and a single count of terroristic threats.
Assistant District Attorney James Lazar said the attempted homicide charges are a result of the continued investigation.
"Once they did further investigating they felt this was appropriate," Lazar said. "They didn't want to overcharge" in Ryan's original arrest on Oct. 12.
State police said Ryan allegedly fired 17 shots through the walls, windows and doors of his home at a dozen troopers outside between 10:30 p.m. Oct. 11 and 1:06 a.m. Oct. 12.
A new criminal complaint filed Friday by Trooper John Zalich said six of the troopers "felt they were being targeted by the defendant while he was shooting."
On Oct. 16, troopers investigating inside the home determined Ryan was firing while sitting on the floor in his bedroom doorway.
Six shots through the front door appeared to be at chest- and head-height, police said. Additional shots were determined to be directed at troopers who were attempting to illuminate the house with lights from their patrol vehicles, the affidavit states.
No one was injured during the standoff.
Trooper Steve Limani said investigators had enough evidence to hold Ryan in jail until consulting with the district attorney's office about the attempted homicide charges.
"You don't just charge something like that without sitting down with a district attorney," Limani said.
At his first arraignment, Ryan told reporters the incident was "a misunderstanding" and that he was depressed. His attorney, Brian Aston, could not be reached for comment Friday.
Police responded to a call from a neighbor's home on Antler Lane at about 10:30 p.m. Oct. 11. Dawn Ryan had fled there after her intoxicated husband allegedly threatened to kill her, according to the affidavit.
Troopers made phone contact with Daniel Ryan and asked him to come outside. Instead, he allegedly started shooting from inside his home with two .9 mm handguns.
When Ryan didn't respond to a negotiations team, troopers lobbed tear gas into the house. Ryan eventually surrendered unarmed and was treated for tear gas exposure, police said.
Nearby roads, including Toll Route 66 between the Harrison City and Jeannette exits, were closed during the incident and homes were evacuated.
Ryan's bond was set at $500,000 Friday by District Judge Joseph DeMarchis. Ryan told DeMarchis during his Oct. 12 arraignment that he has been a caseworker with the state Department of Public Welfare for six years and that he and his wife had lived at the home for five years.
The charges filed Oct. 12 have been withdrawn and are replaced by Friday's filing. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 29.

· Be under the care of a BCMH-approved physician
· Have a suspected special health care need
There is no financial eligibility required for this program; however, information on third-party coverage (Medicaid or insurance) must be supplied.
Services must be related to the suspected handicapping condition and provided by BCMH approved providers. Services are authorized for three months.
Services include:
· Tests and X-rays
· Visits to BCMH-approved doctors (MD or DO)
· Up to five days in the hospital
· Public health nursing services
· Occupational, physical and speech therapy evaluations
· Dental consults
· Community nutrition consults
Ineligible Services/Conditions:
· Acute conditions
· Assessment of emotional or behavioral problems

No, this has nothing to do with Peter Gelb or opera but with the world premiere of a musical version of the hit movie An Officer and a Gentleman titled, cleverly, An Officer and a Gentleman: The Musical. The premiere took place down under in Sydney, Australia and was given a savage review in the Arts pages of The Australian by Deputy Features Editor Deborah Jones. Wrote Ms. Jones in part:
As An Officer and a Gentleman: The Musical came to its close at Friday night's world-premiere performance, the women in front of me exchanged excited glances and started wriggling with pleasure. The Oscar-winning song "Up Where We Belong" from the 1982 film was finally being let loose. It's what the women expected to hear, but more than that, there was something they expected to see, without which they would have felt badly cheated. They got it. Newly minted naval officer Zack Mayo — Ben Mingay, in the Richard Gere part — strides into the factory where Paula Pokrifki — Amanda Harrison in the Debra Winger role — is at work making boxes. Mingay scoops Harrison up into his arms. Cue cheers and thunderous applause. Then — and I kid you not — the pair head up a set of stairs to a platform on which they are solemnly transported up and out of our sight. Love lifts us up, you see. This kind of cringe-making obviousness comes as no surprise, however, given what goes before. If there is a laborious, lifeless way to have a conversation, get across a plot point or express an emotion, Douglas Day Stewart and Sharleen Cooper Cohen (book) and Ken Hirsch and Robin Lerner (music and lyrics) have found it.On reading the review, Mr. Stewart was understandably a bit miffed and in an utterly stupid counterattack chose class warfare as his weapon. Wrote Mr. Stewart in a piece for the same Australian Arts pages:
As the Academy Award-nominated writer of the film An Officer and a Gentleman and co-writer of the world-premiere musical that opened last Friday at the Lyric Theatre in Sydney, I want to thank the enthusiastic audiences who have filled the theatre through previews and opening week performances, giving standing ovations to our talented performers. And I want to urge those of you who are reserving judgment to ignore the so-called review that appeared today in this paper. After four decades in this business I can tell you this was not a review by any standards. It was an "execution" by someone clearly unable to feel human emotion, or to put it in a kinder way, by someone whose highbrow tastes do not represent you. Perhaps she had made her mind up before seeing the show. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that many critics pretend to represent the popular taste but often only represent an eclectic, overly intellectual point of view that allows them to insulate themselves inside a cocoon of superiority. I like to think of them as that unpopular outsider from school who can now wield a cudgel of revenge against those of us who feel true emotion. When you read a review of a new artistic effort that has only harsh negativity to offer (like the one in this paper) that is your warning that you have run into such an emotional cripple. [...] If I can be your Officer and a Gentleman for a moment, I want to warn you Sydney theatregoers how dangerous it is to have voices like this speaking on your behalf.Yeah. That'll show that Jones person a thing or two and, better, bring audiences swarming into the theater. Idiot.

Turbidity – An Indicator of Drinking Water ContaminantsWater turbidity is the level of cloudiness of water that affects water clarity. Turbidity arises from suspended matter in the water column that refract light, thus reducing the ability of the water to allow light to penetrate. This reduces the clarity of the water, giving it a cloudy appearance.
Health Implications of Turbidity in Drinking WaterTurbidity is generally considered an aesthetic water problem, and as such it is not included on the list of drinking water contaminants. However, it is a good indicator of the presence of drinking water contaminants, including pathogens that can affect human health, such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, which cause gastrointestinal upsets. Turbidity arises when organic or inorganic matter, such as clay, silt, minerals, debris, and plant or animal matter are suspended in the water column. These particulates provide both shelter and a source of food to microbes, enabling them to survive and even flourish. Water with a high turbidity reduces the effect of disinfection treatments, such as chlorine, for the eradication of water born bacteria and protozoa. Consequently, it is essential that turbidity levels are kept low if water is to be disinfected to remove drinking water contaminants effectively.
Turbidity spikes from both filtered and unfiltered water treatment facilities have been associated with epidemic outbreaks in the past, and while turbidity cannot be conclusively blamed for these outbreaks, it represents a good indicator that disease causing micro-organisms may be present and that extra precautionary measures should be taken.
Other Problems Associated with Water TurbidityTurbidity arising from inorganic minerals held in suspension can be abrasive, leading to eroded plumbing, pipes and fittings plumbing. Turbidity arising from organic matter held in suspension can stain sanitary-ware and laundry.
Measuring TurbidityWater turbidity is measured with an electronic turbidity meter, or a transparency tube, to measure light penetration in water. In deep water situations, a secchi disk can also be used to determine water clarity. Turbidity is measured in nephelolometric turbidity units (NTU), the NTU recorded will increase with increased turbidity. The drinking water standard for turbidity as set by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 1 NTU, but higher turbidity levels will typically not be noticeable until a reading of 5 NTU is recorded.
Water Purification Methods to Reduce TurbidityTurbidity in drinking water can be reduced by filtering out the suspended particles using a variety of water purification filtering methods.
Mechanical filters offer a very effective method of trapping the particles held in suspension on a fine screen, as water flows through. Tank filters support a variety of filtration media, including sand, or other granular material, and are useful for removing turbidity from the entire water supply as the water leaves the tank.
Cartridge filters are another option for removing drinking water contaminants, and will remove suspended particulate matter, ranging from tiny particles through to larger size particles depending on the pore size of the filter cartridge. Cartridges are usually disposable, and are simply replaced when they get clogged up. Cartridge filters can tend to restrict water flow, especially when they become clogged. Cartridge filters are fitted to individual taps to remove particles and purify water as it pass through the filter.
Activated carbon can be used in combination with tank or cartridge filters to adsorb organic compounds and other drinking water contaminants that give water an unpleasant odor or taste.
Reverse osmosis units are also effective for removing turbidity to provide a clear supply of drinking water. The water is forced across a semi-permeable membrane that allows water to penetrate, but not particles or dissolved impurities, which are removed from the water stream. While large units are available to treat the entire water supply, these are usually far to expensive to be viable. Individual units fitted to a tap that is used to supply water for drinking or cooking offer an extremely efficient water purification method of removing turbidity and other drinking water contaminants from water to provide clean, purified water for household use.

Doc here,
ALL good information!
Remember to use rubber grommets if you run a cable the length of the car..or have to pass through a bulkhead with it..and everywhere you come close to a metal edge, use anti~Chafe, and don't forget a good clamping system..(and plastic ain't it..)
To build the very best ground buss:
Run a properly gauged Ground cable from the battery to any handy bolt at or near the starter, On the BLOCK. From that very same bolt get a Battery cable at the parts store, that has two 3/8 ring terminals on each end and attach it there and to the Frame rail.
Run an 12 ~18 gauge wire from the Fuel tank sender ground lug to the frame rail.
Next get some 10 gauge wire and ring terminals and run that from your bolt on the block to the Firewall, and another to the Alternator bracket or mount bolt.
If the Bracket and alternator is power white remove them both and their hardware, sand or pressure wash them until clean semi shiny metal, dry and reinstall.
You have electrolysis there..and it will also eat a water pump impeller up faster than any acid..The Alternator Bracket and Alternator housing is Aluminum and the block is Steel..(what were they thinking?)
When you go to reinstall the brackets, go to the hardware store and get some aluminum wire compound, and coat everywhere the mount hardware meets steel (bolts, mount surfaces Ect..)
Next get some Wire Braid, (Radio Shack) and install braid from the radiator support to the frame, Fenderwells to frame , hood to firewall, Doors to door posts, gas flap to body, tailgate / Trunk to body.
At each point the wire is grounded, Burnish ALL the paint and grease off to bare metal. Use a proper star-washer and lock. Use sheetmetal or Tech screws where no screws are available.
It sounds like a lot of work, but after you assemble all the parts, it's only a few hours to do..and you'll end up with a system that will work reliably for many years to come..and can eliminate that from your troubleshooting list.
A lot of this Larry and 302/Z28 already covered..this is to help you to ground stuff you probably never considered...

Louis Vuitton trailblazer Carcelle dies aged 66
By Astrid Wendlandt
PARIS (Reuters) - Yves Carcelle, the man credited with turning Louis Vuitton into the world's biggest luxury brand by revenue, died on Sunday, Louis Vuitton parent LVMH said.
Carcelle, an energetic, self-made man who headed Louis Vuitton for more than two decades until 2012, died of cancer. He was 66 years old.
His death comes as LVMH is working hard to revive Louis Vuitton by moving it upmarket after sales growth plummeted in the past two years.
"A tireless traveler, Yves was a pioneer ... Always curious, passionate and in motion, he was one of the most inspiring leaders of men and women whom I have ever had the privilege of knowing," LVMH Chief Executive and founder Bernard Arnault said in a statement on Monday.
Louis Vuitton is the biggest profit and cash generator for LVMH, the world's No.1 luxury group which owns more than 60 brands including fashion labels Christian Dior, Celine and Fendi, jeweler Bulgari and cognac maker Hennessy.
Carcelle, a charismatic manager who inspired his teams to work as much as him, including on weekends, was regarded as the smooth implementer of Arnault's global ambitions for Louis Vuitton.
"He led the industry into retail away from the wholesale model and played a key role in the development of the global luxury goods industry," said Julian Easthope, a luxury goods analyst at Barclays.
Louis Vuitton was an industry trailblazer, one of the first major luxury brands to only sell its goods in directly operated shops and never offer discounts. Continued...

Anyone have any reason or thoughts about putting a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports on the rear of my Cayman S when I have PS2's on the front ? I can't think of a reason why I can not mix and match like this.
Also, why are the SS's so much less in cost than the PS2's ?
