Your perpetually-connected customers are seeking information from a much broader range of sources than ever before. If you just work with the same traditional influencers you have for years — industry analysts and mainstream media — your message risks getting lost in a sea of noise. Instead, leading marketers are identifying key online influencers for their products and marketing to them specifically. These influencers are highly specific, and are not the same for any two products or solutions, or even two different audiences of a single product.
The value of reaching out to a non-traditional list of influencers was illustrated this week by Microsoft's marketing campaign for the new Surface Pro.
Mike "Gabe" Krahulik is the author of the long-running Penny Arcade, a popular webcomic about video game culture. He said on Twitter he was "interested in the Surface Pro," and due to the target audience and popularity of his comic, Microsoft sent him a demo unit. Gabe's not a technology journalist; he's not an industry analyst; he's just someone with a passionate and tech-savvy following — a following which includes perpetually-connected customers who influence technology purchasing.
What happened next? Gabe wrote a full-length, relatively positive, review of the Surface Pro and its applications for media professionals that was not only read by his audience, but became a top link on TechMeme, a tech news aggregator.

Two of the most common questions we receive from marketers are "How do I know if it's worth having a community?" and "How can I prove to my executives that my community is worth their investment?" To get the initial funding and keep support coming for an owner community — one which you operate and fully brand on your own website — you must be able to clearly measure and communicate the value up to your CMO and CFO. That means capturing the effect it will have on your company's profitability as a part of your overall marketing investments.
As a part of a new research report I just published today with Shaheen Parks, we built upon Forrester's Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) methodology to provide you with a reference framework to estimate the ROI of your community.
We suggest that you focus on these three qualitative benefits, which form the core of our framework:

Review: 2010 Lincoln Navigator L
As a recent family reunion proved, there are times when nothing less
than a Lincoln Navigator L will do. In theory: I relied on inferior
modes of transportation during my time of need, and the little voice in
my head never stopped reminding me of that fact. What wouldn't I do for
a fully independent suspension with air ride, three rows of seating and
a suitcase- swallowing 42.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third
row? Yes, this vehicle is everything that's wrong with America. It's
the rolling embodiment of Wall Street greed and "easy credit"
arrogance. But the guys getting bailout dollars and megabuck bonuses
can afford a fleet of Navigators: I just want one, dammit!
If it's painted black. The Navigator wears a face so contrived that
even P-Diddy couldn't sample it for a remix. While the hood's extra
chrome is an option, there's no escaping the door-mounted spizzarkle
and Anime smile at the rear. Even without the twin plankton filters
found on other Lincolns, the Navigator's Mojo-Jojo is a hulking,
sour-faced beast ready to battle the Power Puff Girls.
Yet, as Lincoln's own website admits, the interior has "as much
presence as its imposing exterior." But shock and awe makes way for
surprise and delight: the number of servo-assisted gadgets and
electronic distractions boggle the mind. Yet somehow it transcends into
a high-dollar urban lounge of gathered leather with contrast piping,
decent polymers, ebony-toned oak and the obligatory faux aluminum paint.
Combined with the overwrought door handles (a constant reminder of
why people vilify this vehicle) the retro Ford Econoline gauges and the
shameful lack of wood trim on the rear doors, this is still the place
to be. Well done, Mr. Jeff Sanders.
The F-150 Platinum has nicer touches than the outdated 'Gator, but
there isn't a bad seat in the house: even the power-fold third row has
bountiful padding, never feeling like a penalty box. If the cooled
seats don't take the edge off a summer's Heatwave, plug your iPod into
the THX-infused SYNC audio system and those Boogie Nights will get Too
Hot to Handle. This has been the Navigator's promise since the
beginning, Always and Forever.
And it stays that way, even when it moves. The Navigator is a
rolling library, a blank canvas for your funky music, a child's DVD, or
an enlightened conversation on what non-SUVs the government shall build
with the remains of General Motors. Or perhaps discussing what idiotic
alphanumeric name Lincoln should apply to the Navigator to screw up
their last bastion of American luxury?
Still, everyone stays happy. But more importantly, the driver never
falls asleep. The latest Navigator sports firmer steering and better
controlled body motions than its predecessor. If taking a sweeper in a
Boxster is like Dancing with the Stars, the Navigator L is akin to a
warm hug from Santa Claus: it still feels good.
While improved dynamics compromise the ever-important highway waft,
emergency maneuvers don't require a diaper for adult-sized accidents.
The optional 20? wheels may help turn-in, but their banging on pavement
joints say the 18? hoops are better for this rig's modus operandi.
Which is like living amongst Lotus Eaters: always suspended in a
state of bliss. Relative to the Escalade's small block beast, the
Lincoln's 5.4L V8 fails to impress. But with 310 horsepower and a
reassuring 365lb·ft of torque mated to a buttery smooth 6-speed
autobox, this SUV never runs out of breath. While great for stoplight
launches, the short first gear translates into effortless SeaRay
retrievals from any boat ramp. And towing? Yeah, it's got that too.
Load up the Navigator and let the air suspension equalize the load.
Prodigious disc brakes keep an overloaded Navigator in check, but fuel
economy in the double digits is not a foregone conclusion. At the other
extreme, I hyper-miled my way to 22 mpg with the cruise control on, the
A/C off, and the cooled seat in super-chill mode.
So Lincoln's premier SUV is still exactly "what a luxury car should
be." And given the tumultuous times, that might be enough: a post
Chapter 11 GM won't have the stones to make a Cadillac Escalade in this
political climate. Maybe the full size SUV is a low volume niche that
will be filled by the last man standing?
Surprise! If Ford's (silent) commitment to the unbelievably
profitable Panther chassis is any indication, will the Navigator own
this niche like the Town Car after the Cadillac Fleetwood bit the dust
in 1996?
If so, I'm down. The Lincoln Navigator L is an eminently
comfortable, capable and unbelievably luxurious machine. Both Lincoln
and Cadillac survived The Great Depression, so maybe our current
recession is no match for one of America's best examples of automotive

Vintage Manley 1948 Theatre Popcorn Machine
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Entertainment
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jun 16, 2008
- Channel: Auction House
This is a 1948 Manley Premier Model 49 theatre popcorn machine in pretty good condition for it's age. We last used it in our business in Breckenridge, Colorado around 1978 and it worked great back then and it has been in storage since. The wiring is old so we decided to avoid any problems by not plugging it in for a test. The back plaque includes the following information: Phase 1, Cycles 60, Volts 110, Watts 1600, Amps 14, Serial No. P-8089, Medel 49-P-1.The overall conditiuon is very good except for some scrapes on one place on the front and the sides, some chipped enamel on the front top edge of the bottom panel, a little rust on the bottom of one drawer and the decal is peeling plus some other misc. scratches. We are missing the panel on the very top but we do have the original popcorn scoops (2) and a large supply of vintage white popcorn bags that came with the machine when we got it in 1970 from Denver. The red plastic and glass windows are undamaged and the wheels work great making it very easy to move the machine anyw you want it to go. You can also check out for pictures of this model and some others. The measurements are 66"H x 32/5" W x 21"D. Buyer will need to pick this machine up or arrange for the shipping. We expect payment within 5 days of the end of the auction by PayPal, money order or cashiers check.

Acrylic Clawfoot Tubs vs. Cast Iron Clawfoot Tubs
So many options to choose from. Cast Iron tubs are the classic choice and die hard Victorian fans will settle for nothing less. However, cast iron tubs are pretty heavy and can on average weigh between 200 – 400 lbs. Add water and 1 person and you have a pretty heavy tub sitting on your bathroom floor. You will want to review whether your floor can support it escpecially in an older multi-story residence. Cast iron is also pretty expensive these days which makes these tubs range between $2,000 – $8,000 full retail. Acrylic clawfoot tubs are the new alternative solution to classic tubs. The look the same but are much lighter and far cheaper to produce. Some are so light weight that one person can lift them and they may only start at a few hundred dollars.
The Faucet Expert recommends Elizabethen Classics as its top seller of Classic clawfoot Tubs. With Elizabethan Classics Bathtubs you'll find everything you need to complete the bath of your dreams. Classic cast iron clawfoot tubs, acrylic clawfoot tubs, bath faucets, Victorian-styled water closets, pedestal lavatories and console lavatories all inspired by the days when style was warm, comfortable and appealing with just a flourish of understated sophistication.
This elegant collection perfectly captures the charm of the past — a more relaxed, slower -paced, romantic time. Elizabethan Classics collection is as timeless in design as it is sound in function. Indulge yourself in the best of both worlds – beauty and luxury, with the convenience of modern day innovation.
Step into the simplicity of the past and feel your stress slip away as you enjoy the soothing calm of yesteryear….

text: 100 PERCENT AGREE!!!! Melissa Mcarthy made that movie for me. Wiig's character was just *so* shrill, whiny, and unbearable. It was a fun movie for what it was, but agreed with Beefcake that it was just clumsy overall. It was just a female ripoff of "The Hangover", a VASTLY superior film. IMHO Melissa derserves her nom for sure, but I'm that it got nominated for anything else.

The Grey Muzzle Organization provides funding for senior dog programs nationwide. Here you'll find a list of the organizations that have received Grey Muzzle funding. Please contact these organizations if you are considering adopting a senior dog, fostering, or volunteering.
2016 grant recipients include:
Grey Muzzle Grant Recipients
Grant recipients include:
Abandoned Animal Rescue
How we help
With help from a grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization, Abandoned Animal Rescue offers financial assistance to owners of senior dogs who can demonstrate financial need. This financial assistance will be in the form of reduced or waived fees in AAR's Wellness Clinic to cover needed medical or dental care, aiming to keep more pets with owners.
About Abandoned Animal Rescue
Abandoned Animal Rescue is a Cat & Dog Center that includes an adoption shelter, an affordable spay-neuter clinic, a wellness center, and community education outreach. Founded in 2002 by three dedicated animal lovers: Angie Fenton, Barbara Schulz, and James Gordon, AAR is entirely managed and maintain by volunteers.
Advanced Canine Education
How we help
A grant from Grey Muzzle helps ACE to sustain and hopefully expand its Shelter Dog Swim program, an innovative, unique program that gives senior dogs, medical, specialized physical therapy, and fun swims while making organizations more effective.
The Shelter Dog Swim program reduces expensive medical treatments/surgery (and is better for dogs), and it provides pre/post medical rehabilitation, at a greatly reduced cost. Senior dogs are great candidates for dog swimming. Warm water, indoors, with special ramps, and float coats are life saving for senior dogs, which cannot exercise or socialize like other dogs.
About Advanced Canine Education
Advanced Canine Education supports dogs by giving services to dogs, and to those who serve them. They help dog related charitable organizations, rescue groups, first responders, service dogs, therapy dogs, police k9 dogs, and provide training for the staff members of these groups. They focus on:
1. American Red Cross Canine First Aid & CPR training and certification, so the professionals and volunteers working for dog organizations can handle, emergency situations until appropriate veterinary assistance is available.
2. Dog swimming in a heated, indoor, specially equipped, saline pool for injured, recuperating, unadoptable, geriatric dogs referred by dog organizations and veterinarians.
3. Specialized training and educational opportunities for students, dog owners, and the public.
Aggieland Humane Society
How we help
A grant from Grey Muzzle helped with their "Cookie's Dental Medical Rescue" challenge. A contributor made a challenge and will match our funds (capped at a certain amount) to provide much needed dental care for senior dogs with dental disease. Our hope is that, by providing this vital dental treatment, senior dogs will have an increased chance at being adopted.
About Aggieland Humane Society
The Aggieland Humane Society, formerly Brazos Animal Shelter provides: humane shelter, care, and placement for stray and unwanted animals; promotes the human animal bond and promotes responsible pet ownership to enhance the quality of life for the people and animals in our community.
Almost Home Dog Rescue

About Almost Home Dog Rescue
Almost Home Dog Rescue of Ohio rescues Collie and Sheltie dogs and mixes from kill-shelters and unhealthy homes in a five-state area consisting of Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Animal Rescue New Orleans

A Grey Muzzle Grant will help ARNO with their Hospice Foster Program and medical costs.
About Animal Rescue New Orleans
Animal Rescue New Orleans was the local animal first responders after Katrina and decided to make it a permanent mission by opening a no-kill triage shelter to house rescues in 2006. ARNO is dedicated to the most vulnerable — the old, the very young, the sick, the injured, the abandoned, neglected and the abused.
Arizona Beagle Rescue
How we help
A grant from Grey Muzzle helps Arizona Beagle Rescue provide more comprehensive medical care for more senior dogs. When senior dogs have clean teeth and a full medical, potential adopters are informed with a thorough report on each dog's health and condition.
For some dogs with chronic but treatable ailments, the program provides adoptive families with financial support for medications/dog food as needed. For dogs that are deemed unfit for adoption (whether it be medical issues or behavioral issues), their Forever Foster program allows senior beagles to live out their natural lives in a foster home, surrounded by the family that they are a part of.
About Arizona Beagle Rescue
Arizona Beagle Rescue (AZBR) is a statewide 501(c)(3) non-profit animal welfare organization comprised of volunteers dedicated to beagle rescue and community education. AZBR's mission includes:
• Preventing the euthanization of Beagles throughout the state of Arizona
• Finding Forever Homes for homeless Beagles
• Providing beagles and their companions the opportunity to interact with other beagles and beagle fans
• Helping beagle guardians better understand their beagle's temperament and traits
• Guiding people who have found a stray beagle in the appropriate and legal step to take
• Assisting those who need to find their beagle a new home, when they can no longer keep their beagle
• Educating the public on the importance of spay and neuter
Blind Dog Rescue Alliance
How we help
Grey Muzzle provides medical funding to Blind Dog Rescue Alliance for long-term care, as well as adoptable dogs.
About Blind Dog Rescue Alliance
Blind Dog Rescue Alliance is a group of volunteers spread throughout the United States and Canada dedicated to helping blind and visually impaired dogs by rescuing dogs in shelters, assisting blind dog owners, and educating the public about these wonderful dogs.
Bob's House for Dogs
How we help
Funding from The Grey Muzzle Organization will help with their "The Chew on This" program. Senior dogs often arrive at shelters and rescues with severe dental issues. As Bob's House for Dogs receives these seniors to foster, the dental issues are evaluated and addressed which, in turn, makes the seniors more attractive to prospective adopters as possible costly medical procedures are eliminated.
About Bob's House for Dogs
Bob's House for Dogs: From kennel to couch, where love doesn't have an age limit.
The main goal at Bob's House for Dogs is to make senior dogs more adoptable. They provide foster care to senior and special-needs dogs in a kennel-free, home-like environment. The dogs in their care receive loving attention, high-quality food and meticulous health care. They provide end-of-life care to dogs with terminal illness or advanced age, making them comfortable as they pass on. They give back to the community through a number of programs, reaching out to the elderly and children.

Being a Graphicriver Author myself, I understand how you all feel and so do the Staff.
Staff have already pointed out that they're working on the problem and will be posting on Notes about the issue as soon as they can.
You all know the Forum Rules and know that posting threads on this topic is against them.
Usually I take the time to explain to Authors, whether by replying to the threads themselves, or by deleting the threads and then messaging the OP's – why exactly I have removed or locked their thread.
The fact of the matter is, these threads do more harm than good and are counter productive. You are airing your complaints about the problem and at the same time informing new buyers about it.
I know how frustrated you are about these issues, but please keep these threads off the Forums.
The frequency of these threads is increasing and repeatedly so by Authors who blatantly know they shouldn't be posting them.
From now on, I will be removing these threads immediately, so you will be wasting your time by posting them.
Please stick to submitting your tickets and complaints to Support where they are not in public view.
Hi quickandeasy,
Thanks for your post and your explanation to this problem. Sure it is frustrating and sure we know the Forum Rules. But i can´t agree with you that we inform new buyers that they can find some items out there. There are much more other possibilities to find. And they are much better.
I think GR should more think about the concernings of the designers. It´s is the stuff of them and not of the "bad guys" here at GR or other Envato pages. We are Envatos customers too and should get some help and not only hints all the time that some of us violates the forum rules meanwhile the "bad guys" could do what they want. Submitting tickets to the support team is NOT helpful. I got an automatic mail. And after that i will get a second mail with "tips" that i should try to remove the bad links. WOW ! Very helpful…GR will not fight against copyrights violations but fight all the time against violations in the forums. Nice service i think.
Sorry but i am a little bit angry about these explanation. I´ve got a question: Would Envato throw out their customers if this market will be a real market place with personal contact??? I don´t think so.
Looks like my post on the previous thread has given the word Giraffe a whole new meaning. This thread will look a bit strange to people not in the know!
I didn't want to be a hypocrite and give the game away to those new buyers
This thread should get locked before it ends up being a repeat of the ones before!
BoxedCreative said

Yes, probably.
I'm making the point that these threads will disappear as soon as they're posted.
I am not inviting any other discussion.

Do You Have an Age-Appropriate Portfolio?
People who have hit their middle years may be used to taking flak from their friends and children for not behaving or dressing appropriately for their age. (Picture a teenager rolling her eyes when she sees a track from one of her favorite bands on Dad's iPod.) But is there such a thing as an age-appropriate investment portfolio?
There's no one-size-fits-all approach to financial planning. Two investors who are the same age may have different time horizons in terms of retirement or different financial requirements for things like their children's education. Folks in the 45-to-55 bracket, like other investors across the age spectrum, are best served by focusing first on tried-and-true portfolio principles such as diversification and balance.
Start with a good, hard look at your account statement. A common mistake is misunderstanding what it means to be diversified, which is different from owning lots of different funds in your 401(k)s and other employee retirement accounts. When a new client comes to her with existing accounts, Helen Modly, executive vice-president of Focus Wealth Management in Middleburg, Va., runs the holdings through a software program provided by Morningstar Inc. (MORN) to gauge the asset allocation. "Employees are picking and choosing [from an array of actively managed funds], not realizing that if you took the lid off these funds, they're all tracking the same index," often the Standard & Poor's 500, she says.
Know What You Own
Modly suggests that investors first determine the overall exposure to equities they're comfortable with and then decide how much additional risk to build in by including smaller-cap, small-cap-value, international, and emerging-market stocks as well as real estate and commodities. She'll typically set up a core portfolio with a total market holding such as the iShares Russell 3000 exchange-traded fund (IWV) and then layer in small-value international stocks, REITs, and commodities, usually through mutual funds or ETFs.
In paring portfolios to eliminate the overlap among funds, she cautions investors to make sure they know what kind of shares they own. A-shares—those typically bought through broker-dealers—have a front-end fee and can be sold without penalty. But investors are likely to get slapped with a back-end, or deferred, charge if they try to sell B-shares within five to seven years of purchasing them.
Joyce Cole, an independent financial adviser in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., says the portfolio best suited to 45-to-55-year-olds is balanced but tilted toward equities. "People in this age group are doing the home stretch, because a lot of people are retiring at 55 now without health benefits," she says. The portfolio she recommends has a 57%-to-60% weight in stocks, with her current bias toward large-cap stocks, whose "dividend is helpful in difficult markets." With mega-cap growth-oriented stocks starting to perform better than value stocks, she is steering clients toward the bluest of the blue-chip stocks, she said.
How Conservative Do You Get?
For Patrick Collins, a certified financial planner and principal at Greenspring Wealth Management in Towson, Md., it's more relevant to base asset allocation on a person's time horizon for starting portfolio withdrawals than on his age. "People assume if you're 45, you have 20 years until retirement, but if someone wants to retire at 55, his portfolio has to [reflect a different approach]," he says. It's common practice to shift portfolio holdings toward bonds and away from stocks the closer clients get to retirement. This locks in gains accrued over time and ensures the money's there when the clients need it.
There's a lot of debate among financial planners about how conservative someone between 45 and 55 should be. Kevin Brosious, president of Wealth Management in Allentown, Pa., usually assumes each client will live into his early 90s and believes portfolios need to be designed for the long haul. "Don't change everything to a conservative portfolio," he said, just because you're getting ready to retire or are retired. "You're going to need [to plan for] the long term with growth [of assets] through retirement to maintain pace with inflation and purchasing power over that time."
Others, like Kirk Kinder, a certified financial planner at Picket Fence Financial in Bel Air, Md., advocate a more conservative allocation. Even people with 10 to 20 years of working salary ahead of them, he says, can't afford a major setback like the 2000-02 bear market, which "can seriously jeopardize their retirement, especially for the 55-year-old."
Riding Out the Choppiness
For investors with more time until retirement, the emphasis is more often on maximizing returns, typically with a portfolio skewed toward equities. That can be a hard sell amid a stock-market correction. Not giving in to emotional responses to market activity—rather than a strategy of fund selection or exotic investments—is what can add one or two percentage points to returns over time, says Greenspring's Collins. The trick is to persuade clients—particularly those at the lower end of the 45-to-55 range, who can better afford it—to stay exposed to higher-yield assets instead of making the mistake of bailing out when the markets get especially choppy as they have this summer, he says. To do this, he includes alternative investments that can reduce volatility in an equity-heavy portfolio.
"We want to find investments that have equity-like returns but aren't correlated to equities and perform well over time," he says. To minimize volatility, he uses the Macquarie Infrastructure Trust (MIC), a publicly traded closed-end fund that generates income by providing services for entities such as airports and by owning parking lots and toll roads. The trust has a low correlation to any kind of equity. It yields about 6% per year and still has some growth potential, Collins says.
Publicly traded Canadian energy trusts can be even more attractive, with yields between 10% and 12%. Because their values are closely tied to energy prices, the companies also have a fairly low correlation to certain stocks, whose prices tend to fall on adverse profit outlooks whenever oil prices go up.
International securities are another way to diversify away from U.S. stocks. The more risk-adverse investor may want to stick to developed countries such as Japan and Britain, but for those hungry for bigger returns, emerging markets like China, India, and the Middle East are the places to be. Wealth Management's Brosious urges clients to limit their exposure to these markets to 7% or 8%. Often, foreign companies have a low correlation to U.S. equities because they don't hedge their currency risk. That's why Modly prefers international small-caps to large-caps, which tend to resemble stocks in the S&P 500.
The Lowdown on Life-Cycle Funds
Life-cycle funds, which progressively change asset allocation as investors approach retirement, are also becoming popular, especially in 401(k) plans. Many financial planners think such funds should be used only by people in the 45-to-55 age bracket who either don't have the understanding to assemble a portfolio themselves or the desire to hire a financial planner. "The reasons I don't like these funds, in general, is because no consistency exists [among] life-cycle funds from different providers," Kinder of Picket Fence Financial said in an e-mail message. "The ratio of stocks to bonds differs for each fund family even for the same 55-year-old investor." That's also the conclusion of a study by Turner Advisory Group, an investing consulting firm, and PLANSPONSOR, a retirement-planning resources firm, that says investors need to choose the right fund manager to get the most appropriate risk profile. In general, the study found there is too much equity and not enough fixed-income exposure in these funds.
Life-cycle funds may be in greater demand because they take the emotion out of the equation by adjusting according to a prescribed formula. But investors who have built custom-made portfolios can sit back and enjoy the ride to retirement no matter what the markets are doing—as long as they do their homework, get the proper diversification, and take time to regularly rebalance.

SEEDS OF FAITH CHRISTIAN ACADEMY: Kendall performs with All-State Band
Seeds of Faith Christian Academy is proud to announce that 10th-grade student Jasmine Kendall was selected, by audition, to participate in the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association All-State Band in Hershey on March 26-29.
Kendall was selected to play in a wind ensemble consisting of only six flutes. These students are considered to be the top wind players in the state of Pennsylvania. Kendall placed third seat in the flute section.
Being selected for this honor, Kendall had to overcome many hurdles. First, to be selected for District Band, Kendall had to audition in advance and was one of 1,800 students who made it. In the flute section of District Band, which consisted of 192 flute players and 12 Districts, Kendall was first chair in her section.
[PHOTO: Jasmine Kendall, a flutist and student at the Seeds of Faith Christian Academy, represented the school in March as part of the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association All-State Band in Hershey. (Hannah Shirley/Seeds of Faith Christian Academy photo)]
After Districts, Kendall next auditioned for Regional Band. Regional Band consisted of 900 students representing six regions.
Kendall placed first chair in the flute section of 96 players. Most recently Kendall attended the PMEA state conference. To make it to the state level, Kendall placed in the wind ensemble as a result of her No. 1 seeding in Regionals.
She is a very talented young musician, but she also spends a lot of time practicing.
She averages about seven hours of solo practice each week. Kendall has only been playing flute for five short years and has been able to achieve things most people only dream of.
Not only is Kendall an amazing flute player, she has a wonderful personality and is very humble about her talents.

- Model: LP
Live recording from the early 90's when they were still black metal.
''A long time ago, before no-one was wacky enough to burn down churches or kill anyone, Death Metal ruled the underground scene & Black Metal was something really obscure. In these circumstances, BLACK CRUCIFIXION was conceived in the year 1991. In fact the pioneering band in the realm of Dark Music, BEHERIT, was certainly not the most insignificant factor in the conception of BLACK CRUCIFIXION; Sodomatic Slaughter was one of the founding members of BEHERIT, & Holocausto Vengeance, who can also be heard on this demo ('Intro' & 'Outro' by Holocausto), was the brains behind BEHERIT. At that time, we were excited teenagers, as was almost every guy on the scene back then-- as you might guess, this means that the music on this album was written & recorded with a very serious frame of mind.

I love the headunit and want to keep the in-dash changer, but can I swap out all four speakers as well as add an amp to power the speakers? That's all I really want, I don't want a new deck and don't really want a sub either. Does the stock headunit have preouts? I'm assuming so since you can get an optional factory amp/sub.

Decent action sequences mixed with a load of reactionary right-wing politics.

### From the Publisher
These audiobooks from Macmillan UK offer abridged readings of some of the world¹s most popular authors. Handsomely packaged, they feature readings by eminent actors of the stage and screen, including James Fox, Martin Shaw, Tim Pigott-Smith, and David Rintoul.
There are basically three parts to the book; the first deals with a terrorist attack aboard a grounded commercial aircraft--that part was excellent. The second was the relationship between Magda and Peter, who together are trying to discover who 'Caliph' is, the person responsible for not only the hijacked plane, but the death of Magda's husband. This part was really slow and I nearly quit the book. Then the hunt really started with the abduction of Peter's daughter. Peter thinks Magda is Caliph and from there it sped back up again, although not to the level as the first part.
I kinda figured out who Caliph was, and that happens within the last few pages. Not real surprising.

Study highlights key elements in creating an 'outstanding' school - 11/11/2015
A five-year pilot study by a team of Southern Cross University researchers has identified four elements critical to creating an outstanding school.
The results of the study have been published in a book titled Creating the Outstanding School, published by Oxford Global Press and authored by Professor David Lynch, Jake Madden and Tina Doe.
Professor Lynch said governments across the globe were calling on schools to improve the teaching and learning performance of their schools.
Socio-economic success in a technologically based global world is requiring all citizens to have high standards of education, Professor Lynch said.
The challenge for school principals, who are charged with implementing such school reform agendas, is making pragmatic sense of the enormous volumes of largely disparate education research being conducted around the world.
The pilot study, conducted under the leadership of Professor Lynch, was undertaken at a Coffs Harbour primary school. The first challenge for the research team was to define what was meant by outstanding school.
We determined that an outstanding school (and hence the goals for this project) is one that can sustainably achieve defined learning outcomes curriculum elements in every student. With this definition, researchers worked with a local Coffs Harbour school to see if they could achieve these ends, Professor Lynch said.
The team focused on English as this was perceived as a key curriculum area for students to excel in and which was then regarded as patchy throughout the pilot school.
In the study, and after five years of intensive work by the school and its teachers, the outstanding school status in English was achieved.
The researchers concluded that four key elements were at the heart of creating and sustaining the outstanding school:
- A principal who had the drive, determination and personal leadership capacity to sell the idea and then provide the required and ongoing direction for staff for the duration of the project. In the early stages, to be able to cop the flack that yet another change program was more workload for the busy classroom teacher.
- Distributed team based leadership: an arrangement that enabled teachers to work together in teaching teams to be able to deal with the vast range and scope of students and their individual learning needs in each classroom. Further, this arrangement appeared to focus teachers to key classroom matters and away from the various distractions that traditional top-down school leadership tended to manifest.
- Data driven decision-making: each teaching team was provided with regular data on their teaching and learning progress and this was presented in ways that enabled teachers to make informed teaching decisions for each student. Performance benchmarks for every student were set and teachers worked as a team to achieve them. This arrangement creating an environment where teachers began to become educational researchers themselves, posing questions and then researching answers to further their work in classrooms.
- An intensive and ongoing coaching, mentoring and feedback regime: each teacher regularly underwent teaching observations and was then coached and mentored by accomplished teachers. Poor teaching performance was identified, and through coaching and mentoring it was improved.
Professor Lynch said the results of the study were brought together in the book Creating the Outstanding School, which provided an easy to read text that was all about ensuring every student gets a quality education.
He said each chapter explained a set of ideas and research-based strategies that schools and their teachers could employ to reform their school.
We have identified and explained the key research-based elements that lie at the heart of creating the outstanding school.

Memories of Barnoldswick
The Heap Family/ Lovick Family
My dad was born in 1923 at 23 East Street, Barnoldswick. He was born out of wedlock to Lilian Victoria Heap; who lived with her father, Harry Heap, in East Street.

Morning, y'aaaaallll! Excuse our heavy Southern twang, but we're still feeling Dixie-fried from last night's County Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee. The stars were out in full force, too, and our eyes were glued to the carpet and stage for a glimpse of all the big hair, glitzy dresses and hot bodies country music has to offer.
But who really hit the high notes in SELF's playbook? Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Kimberly Perry and Cassadee Pope. (Note: There was no scientific method used in choosing the most slammin' stars.) Here's why they're winners.
- The new butt on the block: The Voice season three winner and up-and-coming country star Cassadee Pope didn't shy away from showing off her best assets last night on the carpet. The gorgeous 24-year-old "Wasting All These Tears" singer rocked a Jovani number that was just sheer enough to show off her enviable behind. Want a butt like that? Try these moves to transform your tush.
- The blond babe who gave up her Cheetos: That would be Miranda Lambert to you, ladies! We've always loved the country mega-star's confidence, so it's no surprise to us that she looked long and lithe in a dramatic cobalt Roberto Cavalli gown. Lambert's attributed her weight loss to giving up beloved Cheetos (it's cool M…we're addicted too) — but we wouldn't be surprised if she was putting in some serious time with trainer Bill Crutchfield, too. But her newest piece of workout equipment? Her well-deserved, hefty Female Vocalist of the Year trophy!
- The girl givin' out tickets to the gun show: The Band Perry's Kimberly Perry struck an elegant pose on the carpet pre-show in an ivory cap-sleeve Johanna Johnson number, but the mouth-dropping moment happened on stage, where the rocker showed off some seriously toned triceps. We're not sure if it's all the guitar strumming or sweat (and tri-dip) sessions with her trainer Boone Daughdrill, but either way, she's got the hottest guns in the country scene.
- The hostess with the mostess: I mean, could this be anyone else besides Carrie Underwood? The SELF favorite (and former cover star) rocked the carpet and the stage in a slew of envy-inducing gowns (Hey Carrie — can we borrow that sheer-sleeved Ralph & Russo number? We know how to wear sheer!), showing of her hard-earned bod in every dress along the way.
- The girl who brought down the house: Can we just say that we're so glad this girl didn't go into beauty?! Kacey Musgraves, who confessed to SELF this July that if she wasn't a singer she'd be a makeup artist, turned it out last night with her hit "Follow Your Arrow." It's no wonder she scored six noms last night — and I mean, hey, her makeup did look flawless. Check her performance below.

Nigeria's Boko Haram killed 935 people since 2009
ABUJA (Reuters) - The Nigerian Islamist sect Boko Haram has killed at least 935 people since it launched an uprising in 2009, including more than 250 in the first weeks of this year, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday.
Boko Haram, which means "Western education is sinful" in the Hausa language spoken in northern Nigeria, is loosely modeled on Afghanistan's Taliban. It has claimed responsibility for bombing churches, police stations, military facilities, banks and beer parlours in the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria.
The sect focuses its attacks mostly on the police, military and government, but has increased its attacks on Christian institutions. It says it is fighting enemies who have wronged its members through violence, arrests or economic neglect and corruption.
Bomb attacks and gun battles in Nigeria's second largest city, Kano, killed 186 people on January 20, in Boko Haram's most deadly attack to date. Gunfire was heard in Kano early on Tuesday, witnesses said.
The United States-Nigeria binational security commission met on Tuesday. Discussions included the latest Boko Haram attacks and finding ways to stem the violence, diplomatic sources said. The commission usually meets at least once a year.
"Boko Haram's attacks show a complete and utter disregard for human life," said Corinne Dufka, senior West Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch.
"The Nigerian authorities need to call a halt to this campaign of terror and bring to justice those responsible for planning and carrying out these reprehensible crimes."
The report said 550 people were killed in 115 separate attacks by Boko Haram last year, mostly in the far northeastern state of Borno, where the sect was founded in 2002.
Boko Haram has moved from drive-by shootings and petrol bombs to suicide attacks using large and increasingly sophisticated explosives. A suicide car bomb last year killed 25 people at the United Nations headquarters in the capital Abuja. Continued...

Hey all,
My wife had two 1st gen Ford Focus sedans (2000 and 2004). She eventually had problems driving in snow and the dealer talked her into trading up to a Ford Escape.
Fast forward to today and I'm wishing that I would have talked her into keeping the Focus instead of trading. I drive at least 100-150 miles daily for work, in all weather and all conditions that Wisconsin can throw at me. I actually drove her 2007 Focus within a few miles of a tornado that I did not realize was happening until I got home and saw news from where I was.
My current car (a Plymouth Acclaim) is a tank, but I know that it won't last forever and the Acclaim model isn't getting any newer. I really enjoyed driving the Foci and to me there was no question what my next commuter car would be getting when I compare them to other early-mid 2000's 4cyl cars (Neons, Proteges, and Cavaliers all felt cheap in comparison).
I'm here to read up a bit before I buy one and eventually score a good buy if someone lists a Zx3 near me in my price range.
Edit: Forgot to mention that my wife's grandma just bought a brand new Fiesta and loves it!

All day, they lift and move the patients, helping with the personal care of residents of nursing facilities.
Nursing assistants provide the hands-on care for patients and are the eyes and ears of the staff. In appreciation of their hard work, the nursing assistants at Brenn Field Nursing Center were on the receiving end of a little TLC during National Nursing Assistant's Week. They were treated to a massage by a licensed massage therapist -- along with a number of other activities.
"These are the people who give the personal care to the residents," said Corinne Slater, RN, restorative nurse at Brenn Field.
"They provide hands-on care. They are basically our eyes and ears to the patients," Slater said. "They are the first to notice any problems with residents and they give the emotional support that is needed."
Licensed massage therapist Robin McKee, who works part-time as a registered nurse at the facility, provided the massages for the nursing assistants.
"When working on my co-workers at Brenn Field, I know and can feel which muscles they use to lift and move people," McKee said.
"It feels excellent," said Debbie Sindeldecker, nursing assistant, as McKee worked her magic. "I could just go to sleep."
"Massage is an old field but it is coming back," McKee said. "It's getting more and more popular. For years, it had a bad reputation but that is going out the window."
In Ohio, McKee said, massage therapists must be licensed and in her private practice out of her Smithville home, she is starting to get physician referrals.
"There are many diseases associated with stress and tension," McKee said. "Massage enhances the body's ability to fight diseases. When you relax, and massages are relaxing, you are being therapeutic."
McKee said she has the ability to find the muscles that are tight and need attention, but also listens to the person getting the massage.
"Usually in nursing assistants, it's the lower back and neck that need attention," McKee said. "They work hard reaching across beds. We remind them to use good body mechanics but sometimes they forget ..."
Nursing assistants, and women, McKee said, also forget to take the time to care for, and nurture themselves. "We're so used to taking care of others that we forget to nurture ourselves and we need that."
It was Slater who came up with the idea of the massages for the nursing assistants. "I thought it would be a good way to show our appreciation for their hard work."
Other activities for the week included a button day, a recognition program which included a speech by State Rep. Ron Amstutz, a dessert day and a pizza party day.

Like robots, flying cars and houses on the moon, touch-screen controls are one of those things that are simply essential for any properly imagined future. The trouble is that although touch screens look very groovy and sound like a great idea in theory, in practice there are very few occasions when a touch-screen interface is a real improvement over good old-fashioned buttons.
Unfortunately since the Apple iPhone came along, every industrial designer in the world has gone touch-screen crazy, and those working in the digital camera industry have got the bug worse than most. In a way you can see their point; digital cameras already have LCD monitor screens and numerous buttons, so how hard could it be to combine the two? Most of the major camera manufacturers now have at least a couple of touch-screen models in their line-up, for better or worse, and so it's with a sense of resigned acceptance that I find myself testing a touch-screen camera from Kodak. Or rather, two cameras.
The Kodak V1073 and V1273 are two new models in Kodak-s prestige V-series of high-spec premium compacts. The V1273 has a 12-megapixel 1/1.72 inch CCD sensor, a 3x zoom lens, 6400 ISO maximum sensitivity and HD movie capability. The V1073 is practically identical, apart from its 10-megapixel 1/1.63 inch sensor and 8000 ISO maximum sensitivity, so I thought I'd save a bit of time and review them together.
Of the cameras that I've reviewed recently, the most obvious comparison is with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2 (£155). Although the Sony is only 8.1 megapixels and has a 2.7-inch monitor, it too has a 3x zoom lens, a touch-screen interface and a stylish modern look.
Would be nice with a review on the movie mode. As this is the big difference compared to other cameras.
panasonic fx35, TZ5 and sanyo hd800 is the competition
the best movie mode now the canon and sony cameras have, althou just VGA
Nice camera, shame about the Kodak's terrible customer service. Purchased mine on 4 May to capture baby's first weeks. Six weeks later - and ten days after birth - it broke. Kodak won't refund or exchange. Must be sent away for repair, taking around 3 weeks. No alternative means of photographing new born. Kodak now say I have to wait in for next 48 hours for UPS to collect product. Handy. Apparently, Kodak only refund products that break within 28 days - not a great endorsement of their products, is it?
Must agree that difficult to see in bright sunlight, but other than this great camera. Video so good that JVC everio now on Ebay, 4 gb card does 29 mins at high def. Simple to use , idiot proof even and great stills. One of the easiest cameras I have had to upload and sort with easyshare software.

What's needed for a TPI swap
There's so much information on this subject, it's confusing and mind boggling. I'm trying to put a list together on what items I need. I have a 91 Firebird 305TPI, ECM and harness that I want to swap in my 36 Chev later on. I want to use the stock ECM possibly without reprogramming. What items should I keep from this f-body to install in the 36 ?? Some of which I think (correct me please) are, BCM for the VATS, maybe steering column, cruise and sensors. Is there a list somewhere or in a book? I read some books only explain the sensors and their function. This is the 1st time doing this new school swap. I'm retired now (five years), and have all kinds of time to do it right. My plan is to set it up on a test stand and then do the swap over the winter months. I already have some info from different sites on different applications and now am totally excited to get going. Just hope I can remember where I saved all the info. Anyway fellas, I appreciate some of you gurus to chime in and help me and others enjoy the hobby for a few more years. Thank you in advance.
A book called the TPI swappers guide is a great source for info . I have never seen a 91 tpi car with VATS. On my 95 lt1 swap I simply turned it off . But some software is needed to it . Good luck on the project.
Thanks for the tip. I guess I'll just keep on searching.
a good source of info for swapping toTPI is http://chevythunder.com/
along with the info on that site, there are some books listed that will be helpful to you.
retro fitting a factory harness can be a bit intimidating unless your good with wiring.
there are a number of places you can get an aftermarket stand alone harness from if using the factory harness isn't something you want to tackle.
painless, EFI Connection, and Howell are a few that come to mind.
the VATS system has its own module. IIRC, its mounted on the front side of the defroster duct between the duct and the firewall on the right side of the car.
you'll need the ignition key that the module is coded to, otherwise you'll have to go thru the list of resistors that GM used to find the right one.
you can also get a VATS bypass module that will send the right signal to the ECM so it will allow the motor to start and run.
a little hint, don't be surprised if your injectors have problems.
the multec injectors weren't very good when they were new. now after about 20+ years bad multecs are very common and can cause you huge headaches trying to find the problem.
a popular upgrade is to switch to the bosch 3 injectors.
Jsup here on Hotrodders.com, Fuel Injector Connection, or South Bay Fuel Injectors are the only places i would recommend for replacements.
hunter is exactly right, the multec injectors were junk from the start. i, like Jsup work on and have vettes (hi Jsup haven't been on patricks sight in a while, i'm to busy working on my 64 restomod and Astrodokks insane 65 coupe, he is a mad man behind the wheel,( check out CF somtime) thus 350 TPIs and not 305s, but they are basically the same. the ECM will need reprograming, it's no big deal, lots of vette guys do it. just a tip---> bosch injectors are great (my vette came with them, those crappy multec injectors came out 1/2 years later are junk) a great,cheap replacment are the ford 22LB injectors, they work great and are a drop-in, no mod replacement. also (and i think Jsup will agree) install an adjustable FPR on tuned port injection, this will allow you to dial in the mixture on your TPI and engine by a turn of the screw. TPI.com has them for cheap.
nobody here has mentioned rich,s injectors, he is the go-to guy for us 350 tuned port vette owners.
Good injector tip
Soul_hunter and Techron - thanks for the heads up on the injectors, I didn't know that about the multec units. See, that's one piece of info I must have missed reading about. The wiring harness is not an issue, I will be making the whole harness using stock GM fuse block from an S10 or even the one that came with the car. I did the entire 36 this way. But the cost for the aftermarket harness is reasonable and may go that route depending on the budget. I have all kinds of time now to play with my toys. Love being retired. Like I said, I have checked chevythunder site along with other sites like tpi, 3rdgen, diy-efi and others I can log on to. I'm accumulating the how-to info in a binder and collecting as many parts as I can.
Suggestions were to get rid of some components like air pump and vats module, but then I cannot use the chip as it came out of the car, so I'd like to do my own programming with help from other street rodders or swappers. Again, my plan is to set it up on a test stand (which I have) and trouble shoot it and still drive my street rod. Then when all is running well do the swap as a winter project.
Again, thanks for the replies, even though you guys must get fed up answering the same questions. My frustration is when searching for "TPI" or "SWAP" I get a plethora of topics including a lot that don't address my issues. I bow to you.
no problem, i give back when i can as repayment to those who have helped me.
few people mention the multec injectors being a problem during a swap.
its usually sometime after the swap when that problem rears its ugly head.
i got about 8~9 years out of my multecs before they became so much of a problem that i had to replace them.
it was when they took out the ECM that i knew it was past time.
with the replacements, my motor no longer has an intermittent lean condition after a long drive at hiway speeds or the intermittent rough idle it had.
deleting the AIR pump will have little to no effect as far as the chip goes. the only time the AIR injection is taken into consideration by the ECM is when the motor is cold.
i used a VATS bypass module for a couple of years till it stopped working.
i had wired it thru a relay that was controlled by my alarm system so if the alarm was trigged, the ECM would allow fuel to the motor. after the module quit, i turned VATS off in the chip.
on chip tuning, it isn't for everyone.
there is a steep learning curve when you first start, but i feel its well worth it.
besides correcting a few things on my TPI Monte Carlo swap, i picked up some fuel mileage too.
DYI-PROM at thirdgen.org is a huge wealth of info on chip tuning.
the down side to tuning your own chip, even though it can be extremely frustrating at times, it can become addictive, and there isn't a cure.
Injector type
I found two types of injectors mixed in. I don't know how to tell what they are off or the specs. Are they identified somewhere?
Buy the book and read that link from chevy thunder and check this link out. It shows all the difference between the runners plenum intake and throttle body.
The one on the right is a bosch pintle injector with an aluminum tip. 87-88
Look at the link i posted and go to the second page. It shows how to identify the injector.
zild is correct, the injector on the left is the multec which was made by rochester.
they were not very good when GM used them back then, but they were better than the injectors they replaced, like the one on the right.
GM also used some injectors made by lucas from 1985 up until 87 or 88. they weren't very good either.
if you have a mix of injectors, you definitely need to get a matched set.

I made a quick stab at installing mine last year and couldn't for the life of me fish a wire through the firewall- on my 02 and 04 it was a piece of cake, on the 09 it's a piece of $#!+!
I'm going to give a go again tomorrow (about a year later )- any tips on the firewall routing would be greatly appreciated.
I like the dimming solution you came up with!

oh yeah- it's got a grommet- unfortunately the grommet leads to never-never land

after much cursing, scraped knuckles (and a little praying ) I got the coat hanger through to the interior, everything is ready to go, just need to get power to it- found some little taps for the mini fuses so should be good to go

I put a boost guage in about a month ago. My question to you guys is why are you going through the firewall? i went through the left fender and up through the hood. Only had to pop 4 of those plastic screws of holding the wheel well in place. Took me about 1 min to run the line and about 30 - 45 mins total install.
Picture in this thread:
because that's we've always done it the older Imprezas had a plug that was a direct way into the interior- the 08+'s don't
yours looks like a lot easier solution
