I Had Good Results - Birmingham, AL
I have tried fillers and botox/dysport and good results with both. I am 57 and not ready for a face lift, so I tried Sculptra.

|Re: TechCrunch article on Twitter and Cassandra
|Sat, 10 Jul 2010 19:36:31 GMT
Hello, I have been a silent spectator in this list for a long while, and while I like reading much mail traffic, this one I thought I should reply to. You know what I see in all this? More "Twitter" and "Facebook" than "Cassandra". Are we here to discuss them or the software? What I do not see are details as to why Cassandra is not being used to store tweets. Or the details of the implementation that does have Cassandra. I for one would love to see discussion on code, design, architecture. Not just thoughts on company's decisions. Why Twitter took those decisions is something we should not guess and tell. Thanks -- Sumit Datta brainless.in

Byron Barton charges denial of his rights by King County Sheriff in eviction; Sheriff's office responds
Disabled Vietnam veteran Byron Barton and his family were evicted Aug. 15 by the King County Sheriff's office but Barton claims in a letter to his attorney Jill J. Smith the the Natural Resource Law Group they his property (an iPad)was taken and not returned, his medications were left behind, and he was denied attorney counsel or a phone call and no charges were filed. King County Sheriff Media Relations officer Sergeant DB Gates responded to to the charges and explained the circumstances.
Here is Byron Barton's letter:
Hi Jill,
I am emailing you from Harborview Medical Center. I do not have access to my iPad (the sheriff took it), so I am emailing through my son.
The Sheriff's department came in this morning with guns drawn and said "King County Sheriff, you're under arrest for trespassing. We have a warrant". My son and wife were told to get on the ground, where they were then hand cuffed. They read each one of us our Miranda rights multiple times, but we were never shown a warrant. No paperwork of any kind was served to us. They just kicked us out.
Many things were left in the house. They would not let me get any of my medications, the backpack full of important family documents, or the significant amounts of cash in the house that we have been using to pay for both our lawsuit and the protest actions. Last I've heard, they are moving all our things into storage units. I fear that some of our remaining valuables left in the house might be stolen or damaged by either sheriff's deputies or the Triangle property employees now occupying our home.
I asked for my attorney and a phone call and they wouldn't give it to me.
My family was brought to a holding cell in Burien and released an hour later without any apparent charges.
I was taken to harborview medical center where they are now trying to discharge me to someplace else.
A social security supervisor from the VA has been assigned to directly handle my case. Her name is Tamra " Tammy" Thomas. She said that she can make sure I get short term care at an assisted living facility, replace all my lost medications, and find long-term section 8 housing for our whole family to stay in. She says we will not be homeless.
King County Sheriff Media Relations Officer Sergeant DB Gates responded to the charges.
She said that a warrant of this type is not like a search warrant but instead is for the purpose of making an arrest. That warrant was posted and left on the property.
"It's SOP (standard operating procedure), when making an arrest to handcuff people you are arresting," Gates said with the understanding that this is how an unpredictable situation is controlled.
Gates explained, "Most of media got it wrong this morning. This was not an eviction. This was an arrest for a criminal trespass. We conducted the actual eviction back in July."
She said that when you are arrested in a home like this (as opposed to an on street arrest) you "can't pick and choose what you want to take with you." She said that the Barton's possessions will be inventoried and boxed up by the assignees of Triangle Properties and placed in storage. The Bartons will "have a chance to redeem them" at a later date.
"We bent over backwards, we felt, when we did the eviction in July," Gates said, " We brought them suitcases and other things and they chose not to avail themselves of that opportunity. So this time that's not how it went down."
As to his attorney and phone call Gates explained, "There's a misunderstanding about that. People under arrest are not given a phone call immediately. When it's safe for them to do so that's when they can do that. He was taken to a hospital and his wife was released."
No charges were file because that's up to the Prosecutor's office and she was not certain whether any charges would be filed or not, Gates said.

Is progress being made in bridging the gap between the contracting community and the program community? Is the Office of Management and Budget's Mythbusters campaign having an impact on the government's communications with industry? To explore those and other questions related to the federal acquisition workforce, the Procurement Round Table, a nonprofit organization of former senior leaders in federal acquisition, convened an informal discussion with executives from multiple agencies. In a previous column, we reported on challenges in the work environment. Here, we want to share some of the comments about the relationships between contracting officers and the program managers they support and between government and industry.
The people sitting at the intersection of the contracting world and the program world are the contracting officer's representatives (CORs). They have the critical role of serving as liaison between contracting officers and contractors, which is central to good contract management.
However, the consensus among senior acquisition professionals was that not much progress has been made in elevating the importance of the COR's role, or in ensuring that individuals who take it on are well trained. As one executive said, "People become CORs because somebody has to do it. No one is hired to be a COR. It is considered a collateral duty and [treated as] a nuisance."
Just as troubling were the communication gaps we heard about. One participant said: "There is not enough communication between the COR and the [contracting officer]. CORs do not view themselves as an integral part of the contract management portion of the contract." These problems have been exacerbated in wartime. Another executive noted: "In Iraq and Afghanistan, there were 170,000 contractors. CORs were tapped on the shoulder, took the two-week course online and then were 'experts.'"
Industry loves the Mythbusters campaign, but there is a very real question about how much the government side is changing its behavior.
By failing to train CORs and recognize the importance of their work, government and industry run the risk of not being appropriately aligned to achieve mission outcomes. Furthermore, errors can occur in basic contract management functions.
Demonstrating that change can happen, one agency executive reported on progress in improving communication between contracting personnel and the program offices they serve, which occurred as a result of dedicated leadership from acquisition executives and strong support from other senior agency officials. However, the overall picture was one of only marginal improvement in that area.
Regarding communication between government and industry, the picture was no better. The purpose of OMB's Mythbusters campaign is to help government officials understand that the rules do not prohibit meaningful communication with industry and that programs will have better outcomes if all parties communicate early and often. But when we asked if the campaign was making a difference, we heard skepticism.
"Industry loves the Mythbusters campaign, but there is a very real question about how much the government side is changing its behavior." Virtually all the participants in our discussion indicated approval of the message but made it clear that only limited progress has been made.
One executive voiced the concern that the threat of intense oversight could cause government employees to avoid communication with industry. Another person said adding language to the Federal Acquisition Regulation could help integrate Mythbusters into the daily procurement process. However, the risk/reward equation does not appear to have tilted enough to encourage federal acquisition employees to increase their communication with industry.
In sum, although some progress has been made, much work remains if we are to change the culture of communication both within the government and between the government and industry.

DHS officials confirmed for the first time that Russian hackers tried to penetrate voting systems in 21 different states in the run-up to the 2016 election, but said the hacking did not affect election results.
After coming to terms with Cerner on a price for its electronic health record system, VA expects to pivot to finding an integrator to handle legacy interoperability and change management.
The department's failure to launch an agile services contract can serve as a teachable moment, according to DHS procurement officials.
Current restrictions on internet gateways complicate agencies' move to the cloud, so the Office of Management and Budget is exploring new security architectures.
After announcing it would switch to a commercial electronic health record system, the Department of Veterans Affairs must race to make a deal with Cerner.
Telecom providers argue about the role and impact of state-run networks on FirstNet's nationwide public safety broadband network.
This just shows the failures if procurement leadership at setting the direction for changing their respective organizations. In these times of austere budgets, the need to reduce contracts, and really find innovative ways to save money without sacrificing quality or performance, communications between industry and government are needed now more than ever. Discussions between government and industry should focus on realistic and affordable requirements as early in the procurement process as necessary, but that message is being thwarted by government legal counsel who claim it is unethical or improper, and institutional resistance to change and risk aversion. I often integrate the "MythBusters" campaign and lessons into the acquisition and program management students I teach, but the blank stares or the "we can't do that" comments are discouraging to say the least.

Spring Cleaning Month - Seventh Generation™ Disinfecting Wipes
Disinfecting wipes make getting rid of germs easier, but the harsh chemicals in many of them do a number on my sensitive skin. In addition, I'm not sure they are the best thing for a house filled with animals and kids.
I had a coupon for $1 off any Seventh Generation™ product, so I opted to try their Disinfecting Wipes. Their website says they kill "over 99.99% of household germs." These are strong, sturdy wipes of a good size. I use them in the kitchen and bathroom all the time.
I didn't like that the label lists the active ingredients as .05% Thymol and 99.95% other, which forced me to visit their website to learn what the remaining ingredients are, but I didn't see anything in the list that would cause concern. The one thing I can say, however, is that these wipes do not have a pleasant fragrance. I don't want a perfume smell for my disinfecting wipes, but even my kids don't like the smell of these. I use them, but I have to wash my hands with soap and water afterwards to get rid of the scent.
Since they work well and don't fall apart, I would still consider purchasing more of these in the future.
I purchased a 35-count canister of this product during my weekly trip to the store. I received no monetary compensation for this review.

text: I just bought OBDLink scan tool with the WiFi option from scantool.net (http://www.scantool.net/scan-tools/pc-based/obdlink.html). It cost me $190, not including shipping. I didn't buy ScanXL software with the "GM Enhanced Add-on" but I probably will if I'm happy with OBDLink. I just want to see how it works before I spend more money. I've been researching scanners for quite a while and finally came to the conclusion that OBDLink is a best buy. I was also considering the Equus 3160 Innova for $200 but I figured it was not much less than OBDLink, which has WiFi and everything else the 3160 has. I will be able to use WiFi and remote start to run diagnostics from inside my home instead of having to bring my laptop outside. Once I get OBDLink I'll post how well it works. It's coming by Fedex overnight so hopefully I'll have it before Friday.

Parts washing
Just finally getting a chance to get back into the hobby after having kids, job changes and moving around. I sold my '56 to my dad and with the proceeds I got a frame sandblasted and bought a parts washer and sandblast cabinet at HF, and I did some work getting outlets and lighting in my detatched garage.
So now I've got everything set up. With the parts washer, I tried the easy route and bought the concentrated degreaser they have at HF. I used to be more used to a solvent or kerosene or stuff like that, is this stuff going to do the job for cleaning off suspension parts and stuff like that? ('55 Mercury, so it's had plenty of decads of dirt and grease collecting.
I have found "Super Clean" to do an amazing job, I recommend it. I get mine at my local Ace Hardware.
Buy SuperClean Tough Task Cleaner-Degreaser 101723 at Advance Auto Parts
Just two cents but a pressure washer gets a lot of the thick gunk off and saves a bit of work..

Need advice: How much space should I leave between wall and bath vanity?
1 Attachment(s)
I currently have a bathroom vanity that is built in between two walls (picture attached). The wall to wall measurement is 83". We plan to get rid of that and buy a piece of those free standing furniture vanity that looks similar to this:
My question is - when selecting the width of a vanity like that, what is the ideal width that I should select? How much space should I leave between the left and right side of the vanity? Also, do you guys think it's weird to fit a piece of furniture vanity in between two walls like that?
QUOTE: Also, do you guys think it's weird to fit a piece of furniture vanity in between two walls like that?
Yes, but you said it and I just agree. :laughing:
There are people that would die for that vanity you have and no way I would trade that for a purchased piece of - well - well - something that looks like curb side shopping results. My opinion again.
Now back to the question. 36" minimum clearance at each end. That will give you a 11" vanity if my math is correct.
I've installed those in an alcove like that---typically there is 2 1/2" minimum on each side---Paint walls and base board before you install--
Check rear leg clearance to the base board----some units have two mounting holes for the rear legs---use the forward hole if you have baseboard clearance issues.
Trimming of the rear legs is a common thing----dummies that design those things never installed one in a modern house.

Worried households spent November battening down the financial hatches despite price-slashing across the High Street, the latest British Bankers' Association lending figures signalled today.
Its November survey of High Street banks showed a net £200 million repayment of consumer credit over the month as Britons spent £100 million on credit cards, but cut back loans and overdrafts by £300 million.
The BBA said: "Demand from consumers for unsecured borrowing remains weak. Repayment of loan and overdraft borrowing remainS weak."
The latest official figures revealed a 0.7% slide in retail sales during November, although recent survey evidence from the CBI suggests shoppers opened their wallets a fraction in the first two weeks of December. Nonetheless, consumers have borne the brunt of a record hit to disposable incomes this year as the cost of living has soared well ahead of salaries amid big jumps in essentials like food, petrol and household energy bills, triggering profit warnings from High Street names like HMV and Mothercare.
Mortgage and business lending remains similarly subdued while the threat of a double-dip recession hangs over the UK, according to the BBA.
Statistics director David Dooks said: "Until there are clear signs of improvement in the economy and stability on the international front, households and businesses lack the confidence needed to seek credit for spending or investment."
Mortgage lending figures showed a stagnant housing market with 34,738 approvals for house purchase in November, down 1% on the month. Despite some signs of increased activity from buy-to-let investors to take advantage of rising rental returns, the Council of Mortgage Lenders cut forecasts for lending in 2012 to reflect the weaker economic climate.

The papers, which had sung poems for the team just a few days ago, were universal in their criticism of a side which gave it up all too easily to suffer "a sort of defeat that no team has had to face on home turf at the hands of their rivals from across the border".
The Urdu press was more severe as it struggled to come to terms with the fact that Pakistan could be beaten by India in their own den. "We gave away the match to be friends with India," was the refrain of the papers.
Earning the ire of the critics was express bowler Shoaib Akhtar. " The 'so-called' great fast bowler was generous in his performance that left a lot to be desired. He sprayed the ball all over except at the target," said 'Daily Khabrain'.
The 'Nawa-e-Waqt' said the manner in which the Pakistan team played had upset and saddened all of Pakistan. "The moment Inzamam was caught (by Sachin Tendulkar on the boundary) people started leaving the stadium."
"The exodus gathered pace when all-rounder Abdul Razzaq was caught by Virender Sehwag off Balaji and people were heard cursing the Pakistani players for their performance," said the daily.
"Cricket fans accepted that while winning and losing was part of the game, they could not come to terms with the way Pakistan capitulated. Had the team lost in a closer match, it would have been that much more easier to bear the disappointment," it said.
'The Daily Mail' said an "irresponsible" show of batsmanship caused an "embarrassing" defeat particularly for thousands of spectators at Gaddafi Stadium and millions on the TV screens.
'The Dawn' said "India finally overcame their 'chokers' tag, courtesy of a Laxman century to overcome Pakistan by 40 runs and clinch the five-match rubber 3-2 - their first series win in six attempts in Pakistan."

U.S. Department of Agriculture: Agricultural Research Service, Lincoln, Nebraska
Early weaning in Northern Great Plains beef cattle production systems: III. Steer weaning, finishing and carcass characteristics
Date of this Version
Livestock Science 148 (2012) 282–290; http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.livsci.2012.06.024
Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of early weaning steer calves on BW gain, feedlot performance, and carcass characteristics in two herds located in the Northern Great Plains, USA. Steer calves from predominantly Angus x Hereford dams were stratified within damage and calving date (Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory (LARRL), Miles City, MT, USA; n=354)and randomly assigned to one of three weaning treatments. In addition, steer calves from Angus and Angus x Simmental dams (n=200; Judith Gap (JG), MT, USA) were stratified within breed group by age, calving date, and AI sire. Steer calves either remained with their dams until normal weaning (NW) at approximately 213-d of age or were early weaned at approximately 80-d of age on to one of two early weaning (EW) diets. Steer calves assigned to EW treatments received one of the following diets: (1)17.5% CP (69% RDP and 7.53 MJ/kg NEm); or (2)17.5% CP (57% RDP and 7.69MJ/kg NEm). At time of normal weaning all LARRL steers were gathered and brought into pens at LARRL and held for 22 (2005) or 28-d (2006) before being sold to a commercial feedlot. Sire-identified steers from JG were sent to the University of Illinois for a finishing trial following a 28-d holding period. Steers that were EW were heavier (P<0.01) at time of normal weaning and entered the finishing phase in greater BW (P<0.01) than NW steers in both LARRL and JG studies. Age at harvest was similar for all LARRL steers (P=0.79) regardless of weaning treatment whereas sire-identified JG steers that received EW treatment were harvested at a younger age (P<0.01) than NW steers. Sire-identified steers from JG that received EW treatments received better USDA quality grades (P=0.05; upper 2/3 choice or better) than NW treated steers (P<0.01;lower 1/3 choice). Results from the present studies strongly support the concept that early-weaned steers reach maturity sooner during the finishing phase. However, if early-weaned steers are not identified prior to entrance into the feed yard and harvested at the same time as normal weaned calves of similar genetics and age, the nearly- weaned steers may be subject to undesirable USDA yield grades (4 or greater).

Were he alive, I wonder if Franklin would have made that comment during the 1860s.
The down side of this is that the government could not let this stand for long as it "cheats" them out of what is rightfully theirs. Taxes.
Maybe this would be a good time to wear that shirt, "Drop 200 lbs. fast..." when she comes a knockin'. :biggrin:
.That's the trouble with our nation. People sit back and do nothing until it's too late.A prime example is the way our government is conducting business while bypassing the Constitution and gets away with it. It's time we stood up to whats going on.
The comic is kind of true. If it really hits the fan, and you have bullets, then you can take what you want. It's not a noble thing, but it's realistic.
I'm uncertain, but I think the premise of one of the posts here (not one of your posts Mike) about how banks presently are valuing their paper assets is incorrect. Immediately following the calamity in 2007 the banks went through "stress tests" in which assets were valued on market value.
Again all, see my signature line. People are people and nothing much changes in this world.
That was my post. I know it sounds unreal, but it's true. You can find lots of info on google about it. Of course, the banks think it's the best thing since sliced bread. We can trust the banks, right? Here's one article I found in a quick search: US suspends mark-to-market rules on bank assets - Business News, Business - The Independent
Friday, 3 April 2009
Banks in the US are being given more discretion on how to value the toxic mortgage assets that have poisoned their balance sheets in a reversal of parts of the controversial "mark-to-market" accounting rules that many blame for exacerbating the credit crisis.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) voted yesterday to let banks ignore market prices for assets if they judge the market is illiquid and that the most recent sales are being done at firesale prices by distressed sellers. There will also be changes to allow banks to book smaller losses on impaired assets that are available for sale, which could take extra pressure off many of the biggest banks in the US.
Here's a video that helps explain:
New Mark-To-Market Rules - Bloomberg - YouTube
I've got a new signature line, too.
We are at a critical time in this nations history. There have been people like "O" in the government for a long time trying to move us towards this eventuality, but never before have they been this close.
Am I prepared for such an eventuality? As best I can be. But for how long can anyone hold off the waves of looters and thieves coming to take what you have? Hopefully I can hold on for long enough but who knows how long it's going to take to put the brakes on this freight train.
I am not anywhere near prepared for a SHTF scenario. Until recently, I could easily be classified as blissfully unaware and in the dark. It wasn't until earlier this year that I even began to consider such a thing as preparedness. My plan, though it would occur over several years is to eventually move, more into the country where I would have a chance at maintaining a self sufficient lifestyle. In the short(er) run, I plan to actually take seriously the concept getting a stock pile of food and water to at least last several weeks and putting together a BOB should it be needed.
Read Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon by Gretchen Morganson. It's also available on Kindle.
Just a couple of quick comments:
Banks do not value assets based on what they will be worth in the future, e.g. when the recession ends.
Second, the 47% while accurate currently, and alarming, is not too far off the mark historically for many years. Look here: The Tax Foundation - Summary of Latest Federal Individual Income Tax Data
Otherwise, it is still of a concern, and we should be prepared, but I don'y spend too many nights worried about it. I worry more about what I can control.
This is a good exercise though!
New Rule Would Allow Banks To Choose Values Of Their Assets
And another:Quote:
The Financial Accounting Standards Board quietly buckled to banking-industry pressure last week and proposed new accounting practices that would allow banks to value assets at a higher price than they could currently be sold for.
Banks have long demanded the "mark-to-market" accounting rule change, arguing that it's unfair to require them to mark toxic assets down to current market prices because the very market for those assets is frozen.
Failed Bank Disaster Largely Ignored By Mainstream Media | Greg Hunter
Quite simply, the rules have been changed by FASB so banks can value their assets to whatever they think they will be worth in the future even if they are worthless or worth alot less then they can get in the market today"

Tuning In | Home Decorating TV
During the hunt for a new house, my husband I started turning to more and more remodeling/redecorating/home makeover shows looking for inspiration and fantasizing about what our new home could look like. Since buying one a couple of months ago, the television shows have even more meaning as we consider options against the latte-colored walls of our new home.
While my husband loves to watch unprepared greenhorns rip into walls, try to lay tile and bust water pipes, I like admiring newly painted rooms, fancy furniture, and learning decorator vocabulary. While figuring out how to do it on a do-it-yourself budget.
With that being said, here are some of the shows that are becoming regulars on my DVR.
Color Splash (HGTV)
I love color. It's apparent from my closet, jewelry and couch throw pillow choices to even my former car (yellow Ford Focus). This show is total color eye candy, from a mid-century modern living room with a touch of Bollywood to a teal-splashed beach-themed room that I have replicated in my mind for our empty living room. Host David Bromstad can paint me artwork for a room any day.
Dear Genevieve (HGTV)
The gorgeous and warm Genevieve Gorder's show focuses on taking a room that the people are not happy with and completely transforming it. The differences can be amazing! I loved the young couples yellow and empty kitchen that tuned into a white-and-wood masterpiece, complete with reclaimed wood on the ceiling. It totally changed my idea of how I could be doing my kitchen someday.
The Nate Berkus Show (NBC)
Anytime you can get an audience to clap for a some lamps, it's fun! Nate, who's cool enough to get a video birthday wish from Oprah not only discusses design and decorating in a manner that's easy to understand and replicate in real life. He also talks a little fashion and food, and loves to surprise guests and audience members with home furnishings.
Donna Decorates Dallas (HGTV)
If you drool over the decor in some of the Real Housewives television series, 'Donna Decorates Dallas' is perfect for you. She could both be the interior designer for some Dallas housewives cast members but could be one as well. Her opulent decor style includes tassels, fringe beading, velvet, ironwork, chandeliers in bathrooms and animal print fabric throughout. Quoting host Donna Moss, "In my style, animal prints are a neutral fabric… They just work with anything in my world."
Design on a Dime (HGTV)
Even though I don't have a grand to spend on a whole room, I love the way Casey Noble and her team work use a little elbow grease and a lot of paint, fabric, art and style to make a statement. I can take the ideas and throw a little at a time into different rooms- a curtain here, paint there and voila!
And, this show totally put stenciling furniture on my to-do list after I saw a bedroom redo with ferns on the dresser.
Run My Makeover (HGTV)
Love thinking up ways to design a room? Here's your chance to put it in action. This show puts the design choices online to vote, and the lucky homeowners get to keep it if they like it, or keep it if they don't.
Great for sitting with a friend or partner and making bets on choices and reactions to red kitchens with black counters, wicker chairs and questionable artwork options.
Do you have a room you'd like to makeover? What television show would you like to have it madeover on?

I love home repair shows! You've got a good list here. When we were gathering ideas for our kitchen remodel I would always watch "Bang For Your Buck" on HGTV and I never ever miss an episode of "Sarah's House" also on HGTV. I love what she can do with fabrics and that she shops flea markets for furniture pieces. She's my absolute favorite and her and Tommy need to come renovate my master bedroom and bathroom!
Did you see? They are coming out with a whole new HGTV magazine! I can't wait. I am such a magazine junkie!!!
Thanks so much for all of this info! We are getting ready to move into a "transitional home" for a few years, and I don't want to spend a ton on decorating, but still want it to feel like home. I'm putting all of these on my DVR!

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 8/26/14
Last night saw Tony Bellew and Isaac Chilemba draw in their WBC eliminator contest. In a match that failed to live up to its pre-fight buzz the judges scored the encounter 116-112 to Chilemba, 116-115 to Bellew and a 114-114 draw. Credit: Lawrence Lustig In the immediate aftermath Bellew told the ringside cameras "I'm going to be totally honest - I thought I won that fight. I thought I won nine of the 12 rounds." However, if truth be told, Bellew failed to capitalize on his opportunities and was arguably lucky to come away with the draw. In front of his home crowd, it was Bellew who started the quicker of the two, as he looked to box on the front foot and push Chilemba up against the ropes. However, despite the Liverpudlian having the better of the opening exchanges he failed to land any meaningful shots with the Malawian's slick style keeping him out of trouble. By the mid rounds, Chilemba had begun to feel his way into the fight, catching the local hero with a number of counters...

The metric for this title was determined by owners of a vehicle choosing from the same corporate automaker for their next vehicle purchase. For Toyota, this means that 47.3 percent of its current customers will purchase a Scion, Lexus or Toyota model as their next car compared to 46.2 percent for GM and 46 percent for Ford. Honda and Hyundai rounded out the top five in this list.
In terms of individual brand loyalty – when buyers come back to the same brand – Ford took the spot in this category with 44.7 percent of buyers returning to the Ford showroom for their next purchase, including six cars in the top 10 for overall loyalty. Ford Fusion customers are the most loyal with 59.9 percent buying another Ford, but Flex, Edge, Five Hundred, Escape and Fiesta are all in the top 10. Oddly enough, the top vehicle among brand loyalty was the Chevrolet Sonic (which has only been on the market for less than a year – we're not sure what to make of that...) with 60.3 percent of its buyers trading in for another Chevy product.
Other interesting facts to note from Experian Automotive's study include the median age of vehicles has increased from 9.8 years up to 10.8 years since 2008, indicating that people are keeping their cars for an extra year before trading them in. Besides Toyota, Chrysler was the only automaker listed as having increased its market share and vehicle purchases in the second quarter of this year.
Scroll down for Experian's press release or click here for the informative infographic in PDF form.
Ford maintains strong brand loyalty with four of five top performing models
Schaumburg, Ill., Oct. 10, 2012 -Toyota Motor Sales, USA, ranked highest in corporate loyalty in Q2 2012, according to the Experian Automotive Loyalty and Market Trend analysis. Toyota saw its corporate loyalty increase from 41.6 percent in Q2 2011 to 47.3 percent, enabling it to pass both General Motors and Ford Motor Co. This increase marks the first time Toyota has achieved the top spot in corporate loyalty since Q3 2009.
High-level findings from the analysis showcase the top trends in vehicle loyalty, manufacturer market share, vehicle age and new vehicle registrations.
"Toyota has done an outstanding job of regaining customer trust and getting repeat customers into showrooms," said Jeffrey Anderson, director of consulting and analytics for Experian Automotive. "To restore normal operations and regain customer trust in such a short time following the earthquake and tsunami is a truly remarkable comeback."
Experian Automotive defines corporate loyalty as measuring whether a new vehicle purchase matches a prior vehicle owned at the corporate level. This includes all brands under the corporate umbrella. Rounding out the top five in corporate loyalty are General Motors (46.2 percent), Ford Motor Co. (46.0 percent), Hyundai Motor Group (45.3 percent) and Honda Motor Company (43.1 percent).
In regards to Brand Loyalty, the Chevrolet Sonic was the top model, which means that 60.1 percent of Sonic owners who returned to the market bought another Chevrolet vehicle. Ford rounded out the top five in Brand Loyalty by model, with the Ford Fusion (59.9 percent), Ford Flex (55.0 percent), Ford Edge (54.0 percent) and Ford Five Hundred (52.0 percent) owners being the most loyal to the brand.
In other highlights:
• Total vehicle purchases were up by more than 370,000 units, going from 3.2 million registrations in Q2 2011 to 3.6 million in Q2 2012. This metric has been steadily increasing since the economic downturn, when vehicle purchases dropped to 2.5 million in Q2 2009.
• Toyota posted the largest unit sales gain with 145,000 additional registrations, followed by Chrysler with more than 83,000 new registrations.
• Toyota had the biggest market share gain in Q2 with 2.8 percent.
• GM had the steepest Q2 decline in market share at -1.5 percent.
• The average age of vehicle has increased from 10.6 years in Q2 2011 to 10.8 years in Q2 2012.

Fundamentalism of liberalism
Congratulations are due to Tonio Borg regardless of the outcome of the plenary vote. He has made Malta proud.
His three-hour grilling was indeed a pleasure to watch. He mastered a complex portfolio of briefs in a matter of weeks.
In the face of adversity, he displayed the calmness and clear mindedness of a seasoned politician. He steered clear of controversy, notwithstanding the controversial nature of a number of hot issues on his plate.
He stuck to his principles while fully respecting differing views and evidently surprised even the most vociferous of his detractors.
He deftly avoided the traps that were set for him and convincingly illustrated his mastery of the Charter, European law and European affairs.
One would have thought that such a performance should have won the designate-commissioner the day with relative ease. Regretfully, things do not work out that way in the world of liberal politics.
After having to deal with the false allegations that sought to tarnish his unblemished reputation, Borg had to deal with a number of detractors who would have us believe that a prospective commissioner who does not endorse their liberal views is not fit for the job.
A number of members of the European Parliament went further. They were not even prepared to give Malta's nominee a sporting chance to face the grilling; by their standards of European values, Borg should have been prejudged as unfit for the job, without even being given a fair hearing.
Some would have us believe that, in order to be truly European, one must necessarily endorse liberalism. This approach is, in fact, anti-European. It runs in the face of Europe's ethos of unity in diversity.
A politician who is true to his Christian Democratic ideals is as much a European as a Green, a Liberal or a Socialist. A Liberal who maintains otherwise is doing a gross disservice to liberalism and to European ideals.
Diversity of traditions, cultures, experiences and philosophies are central to the European experience. It is therefore shocking to read a "Liberal" declare: "I have a problem with his (Borg's) philosophy of life," and, on that basis, to argue that Borg is unqualified to be commissioner.
Tolerance for some Liberals means that only their philosophy of life should be tolerated. That, in any standard dictionary, is bigotry, not liberalism.
Another fallacy that manifested itself in this liberal charade was the suggestion, explicit or implicit, that there is such thing as a right to abortion. There is a right to life not to abortion. Abortion, whether it is safe or unsafe, is the negation of life and the antithesis of right.
One positive aspect that emerged in this process is the ability of both political parties, Nationalist and Labour, to rise to the occasion and set aside their partisan differences when the national interest is at stake.
Borg's nomination enjoyed the support of both the Government and the Opposition and Borg is on record thanking all six MEPs, both Labour and Nationalist, for providing active support to his candidature.
It is indeed unfortunate that, on this matter, Alternattiva Demokratika aligned themselves with their Green colleagues in the European Parliament and gave their thumbs down to Borg even before the hearing.
That, by any standards, is prejudice, pure and simple, no matter how avant-garde or open-minded AD would like to portray themselves.
The sooner Malta puts this saga behind it, the better. There is, however, a lesson to be learnt.
We are witnessing the emergence of a new kind of intolerance and imposition.
Liberals, who parade themselves as the paragons of tolerance, freedom of thought and conscience, are increasingly conducting themselves in a manner that seeks to impose their philosophy of life on others while manifesting increasing intolerance to Christian values and ideals.
We should be vigilant in the face of this new kind of fundamentalism, the fundamentalism of liberalism.

Missing Detroit man with dementia dies in Howard City crash
REYNOLDS TOWNSHIP — A missing elderly Detroit man was killed in a car crash early this morning near Howard City.
According to Howard City Police Chief Steve DeWitt, police responded to the crash at 2:28 a.m. at the intersection of Amy School Road and M-46 in Reynolds Township. A nearby resident had called 911 to report the sound of a car horn sounding nonstop in the area.
According to police investigation, James Odell Clemons, 74, of Detroit, was traveling in a 2010 Ford Flex westbound on M-46 when he drove over two sets of warning rumble strips and through a stop sign, colliding with a large dirt embankment on the other side of the intersection.
Clemons was in critical condition at the scene and was transported to Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, where he later died.

Dr. Susan L. Beningson, Assistant Curator of Asian Art, Brooklyn Museum
Traditionally, jewelry in India has been worn and valued for both its ornamental and symbolic qualities. Replete with meaning, jewelry could reveal the wearer's regional origins, beliefs, marital status, wealth, and social position communicating identity in both social and religious contexts. The significance of the materials chosen extends beyond their beauty: gold was thought to have the power to purify those it touched, and gems the power to focus planetary influences, benefiting those who wore them. Jewelry was not only intended to be worn in daily life, but also dedicated to deities and meant to convey the devotion of their worshipers. In Indian tradition, deities most often appear extensively bejeweled; religious practices have for millennia included the gift of gold and jewels to the gods.
Dr. Beningson is also a prominent collector of Indian jewelry.

My daughter, the babysitter – part 6
(Joanne gets back from her 'babysitting' sleepover)
I wake up, anxiously early, with yet another huge erection. I ache from
my previous nights exertions, but feel very satisfied. I wonder what my
elder daughter Joanne has been up to at the Jacobsen's.
My wife feels me stirring and snuggles up to me in a totally satisfied
"Thanks for last night," she manages to murmur, her hand reaching out
and finding my very hard cock. "You are so naughty!"
She giggles as she squeezes my cock and slips under the covers to suck
my cock deeply into her mouth. I groan with pleasure, but I'm sure there's
no way she'll get even a drop of cum out this morning.
Yet again, Jolene bursts through the bedroom door, giggling.
"Hi, Dad!" she begins, chirpily. "Where's Mum?"
I indicate with one hand the wriggling form of her mother underneath the
duvet. She keeps sucking my cock deliciously.
"Mum?" calls Jolene, a naughty smile on her face.
She reaches out for the duvet and tosses it off the bed. There is my
wife, her mouth full of my cock, naked as the day she was born. Jolene
grins and then giggles.
"Mummy, you are being naughty!"
"Mmmmmmfffffffff," says my wife, refusing to stop even when I try to
pull her away.
Jolene climbs up onto the bed, watching her mother closely as she
continues her excellent fellatio technique.
"Watch and learn," I suggest, cuddling my younger daughter to me.
Luckily, she's dressed in her usual pjs, so I don't see or touch any
naked young girl skin. It would probably have sparked an immediate orgasm!
Jolene murmurs softly as she watches her mother in action. I notice
that she slips her hand inside her pj bottoms.
"I'm playing, Daddy!" she tells me.
"I know!" I reply, my eyes glassy with lust as my wife brings me, even
is this drained state, towards yet another orgasm.
My wife is gurgling and making slurping noises as she sucks on my now
throbbing cock.
"I Mummy going to make you cum, Daddy?" asks Jolene.
All I can do is nod vigorously, as I'm about to shoot whatever I have
left into my wife's mouth.
I groan as I orgasm and see my wife's mouth filling with my cum. After
a couple of spurts, she drops her mouth away and Jolene can watch my cock
spurting out a few small shots onto her mother's breasts.
Jolene squeals and wriggles around in my arms, clearly cumming herself.
My wife moves up the bed and cuddles her daughter closely. I realise
that some of my cum will be soaking into my daughter's pjs from her
mother's breasts.
"That was fun!" she cries to me.
"Even more fun with Jolene watching," I tell her.
Jolene grins and kisses me on the cheek. Her mother kisses her too and
we just lie together happily for a long while.
Suddenly I become conscious again.
"I'd better go and pick up Joanne," I suggest, getting out of bed.
My wife and daughter watch me hungrily as I get dressed. I kiss them
both quickly, leaving them in bed together. I drive off to the Jacobsen's
house and pull up in the driveway. I have to knock on the door and wait
several minutes before someone opens the door.
I'm invited inside by Mrs. Jacobsen, who is dressed in a quite
revealing nightdress. She looks stunningly sexy and it's difficult for me
to keep my eyes from scanning over her body everywhere she moves. I
thought this was a very staid couple!
"Your daughter will be down shortly," the woman smiles. "She's been
quite wonderful."
"She loves your kids," I say, aware of the undertone of sex in the room.
"She does and we love her too. She's a great babysitter," says Mrs.
Jacobsen, with a broad smile.
'And a great cocksucker!' I think, with a grin to myself.
Just at that moment, Joanne comes rushing downstairs.
"Daddy! Daddy!" she cries, throwing herself into my arms.
She's dressed and ready to leave, with a backpack over her shoulder, but
her face looks very flushed. She goes up to Mrs. jacobsen and kisses her
in a more than friendly manner.
"Thank you, both of you," she waves to Mr. Jacobsen who stands at the
top of the stairs, grinning.
"Bye, Joanne. Please visit us again soon!" he says.
Outside, Joanne is beside herself with excitement.
"I've got to tell you, Daddy!" she squeals, as she climbs into the seat
beside me.
"Why not wait until we get home. Things have changed there too. Mummy
will be as interested as I am to hear your story," I suggest.
"OK, OK!" she agrees, sitting back with a very satisfied look on her
"Did they pay you a lot this time too?" I ask.
"Oh, yes. Five hundred dollars!" Joanne says, waving the notes in front
of my face.
"Unbelievable. You must be a great babysitter!" I say, smiling
"Oh, I am. I am," she giggles.
Somehow, we get home without saying anything more. My cock is so erect
it's painful. I know she's been very naughty and I'm dying to hear her
tell us all about it.
She goes to her room to change into some casual clothes. I go to the
bedroom to find my wife and younger daughter still cuddled up together and
grinning naughtily.
"You've been naughty?"I ask, knowing that they have been.
"Jolene made me very happy," says my wife, without much of a smile.
"And Mummy did naughty things with me!" my younger daughter smiles
I can't believe this! Not too many days ago, I had an almost normal
relationship with my wife and with my two daughters, now it seemed we'd
discovered something about ourselves that had been unnecessarily hidden for
too long. It was all coming out in a rush!
I really need to hear what happened to Joanne last night. She rushes
from behind me and kisses her Mum and Jolene, enjoying the fact that they
have been so intimate together. We all gather closely on the bed as Joanne
slips off her backpack and prepares to tell her story.

I am an avid shooter, and am growing very tired of paying high mark ups, no stock to buy and dealing with other buyers to stand in line to buy when a shipment of ammo comes in at the local Wal-Mart.
I am looking very seriously into buying the equipment neccassary to make my own ammo. I looked at serveral web-sites, and they all make suggestions on what to get, but are never conclusive.
Bottom line, from start to finish, what am I looking at as far as price (Out the door) for everything I'd need before I saw my first round hand made by yours truley?
I know it's in the hundreds, if not thousands. But I just need to know how long I'm going to be working overtime before I should stop.
Any advise, would be greatly appreciated.

Compass Rose J 28
Alderaan, Is your J 28, Compass Rose for sale? Today is Sep 26, 2008 and I saw a J 28 somewhere in NJ for sale.
I have sailed a J-28 for the last 10 years and have loved it. Prior to that, I sailed a J40, but stepped down when I had trouble finding crew. The J28 is a scaled down version of the J40 and a perfect single-hander or one couple boat. It is stiff and fast enough for club racing [phrf: 168]. Not many were sold because it was expensive compared to 30 footers. It has furniture quality finish below. Mine is currently for sale only because I want to move back to a J40. I have never had any blister, crazing or other problems. The 1988 Yanmar is still chugging like a champ. I even put reverse cycle heat/AC on mine. These are great boats, but not many first time buyers were willing to pay the tariff when they could buy a Sabre 30 or for less, a Catalina 30. I understand that''s the reason J Boats phased them out and replaced them with the J 32. You can get some good exterior and interior photos on Yachtworld.com. If you are concerned about performance, look at the photo of Compass Rose under sail on about an 8-10 knot day.
correct was jeff said .... I wrote handfull for my J 30 as I usually race with the wife only... with two people it gets real funky above 15 knots.... more survival than style.....
I think the Laser will reach that point a little earlier with two people on board...
but as Jeff said... the trick is to reef early
( same is valif for the J 30 . however the other guys are killing me downwind than, so I rather "ride"the wild sau upwinds with a little too much sailplan...lol )
with 4 people on the rail the J 30 will go upwind at unbelievable angles, and speed !
( At starts nobody dreams of being on my windward side anymore... . they all know that I will go straight up the pin, with no room left... )
Anyhow... I liked the Laser . but the discussion was 28 J boat ... different boat all together ... nice though .. not so fast but doesnt need railmeat either ...
Certainly the skipper that we sailed against was not terribly experienced at heavy air sailing, but he frequently had the boat''s former owner on board, and he was a very experienced skipper, so I can''t totally blame their poor heavy air performance on the new owner. I suspect a big part of the problem was crew weight - as you know the J/30 will go to weather like a freight train with 6 or 7 guys on the rail. The laser usually struggled to get 4 or 5 people on board for a race, so that was to their disadvantage in the heavy stuff for certain. And of course crew weight worked to our disadvantage in the light stuff, along with the fact that we owed them time.
My comment on the build quality of the boats was based (perhaps incorrectly) on 2 factors - these guys frequently broke stuff in any kind of breeze, and one other Laser which came to town for a regatta had deck gear that (IMHO) was more suited to a 22-footer. Having said that, they proceed to do a horizon job on most of the fleet in a 4-day light-air regatta, so I guess the gear was good enough for what they needed.
Thanks for the history lesson, Jeff. I didn''t mean to trash the Lasers. I was just expressing an opinion based on what I have seen and the prevailing conditions here in Nova Scotia.
YMMV (and it obviously did)
It sounds like you encountered a Laser 28 sailor who was not a good sailor in heavy winds. I will say that Laser 28''s do require some skill to sail well in higher windspeeds. Proper choice of sail and sail trim makes a huge difference in boatspeed on these boats in winds approaching 20 knots.
I would completely disagree with you that the Laser 28''s were built for lake sailing. It is true that were somewhat optimized to perform well at the light end of things but they were also extremely good boats in higher winds, really excelling against the local J-30''s in light air. In heavier conditions, the Lasers had a tough time sailing to their ratings upwind against the J-30''s but really had an easy time beating J-30''s in heavier going if there was a reasonable amount of reaching and down wind work. As you note being pretty much an even match with the J-30''s on corrected time in mid-range winds.
I owned a Laser 28 for nearly 14 years, and raced on several sisterships (as well as J-30''s during that period). Having sailed my Laser 28 in winds that pegged the anomometer aboard a near by boat at 65 knots, I thought that these were surprisingly good heavy air boats. I would not have wanted to spend days at sea in that stuff but I was able to get her to go where I wanted her to go in those heavy conditions. I have done a lot of single-and short handed cruising in my Laser 28 and was very impressed with how she handled winds well into the low 30 knot range (albeit double reefed and rigged with a small heavy fabric 90% jib).
I was amazed at how robust the Laser 28 was. These were beautifully engineered boats, albeit a bit unusual in their construction, expecially for thier day.
You may have heard it said more than once that " Laser 28 was the reason Laser weren''t bulding boats any more" but who ever said it would be incorrect. The Laser 28 was developed independently of the company that built the smaller Lasers by Ian Bruce during the period that he did not own Performance, the company that built the smaller Lasers during that era. When Ian Bruce reacquired Performance, the Laser 28 was added to the Laser line up, but was actually still built by a separate company from the company building the smaller Lasers. That separate company continued building Laser 28''s for several years after Performance had gone belly up. In other words the fortunes of the Laser 28 really had no bearing on the separate company building the small Lasers. What ultimately killed the Laser 28 after a production run world wide reportedly of just under 400 boats was the recession of the late 1980/early 1990''s, the rapid increase in boat building materials in this period (the Laser 28 went from a price of $27,000 fully equipped, in the water, and ready to sail with a trailer in 1985 to $54,000 not fully equipped in 1990) and, perhaps more significantly, the rethinking in racing that lead to single-purpose one- design keel boats such as the Tripp 26, Mumm 30, Melges 24/30 and the J-92 and J-105.
Those who were closer to the company have always said that Performance got into trouble at the start of the 1989 recession by trying to over-diversify too quickly coming out with two different Laser like boats, a new two man trapeze boat based on the Australian skiffs (the name escapes me on this and the two Laser varients), the Laser shell, pulling boat, power skiff, and a variety of still born projects in the same short period.
Both the Laser 28 and a J-30 were good boats for their day. To me the choice between a Laser 28 and a J-30 is one of personal preference rather some universal inherent advantage that one has over the other.
|e-27 sailor
I''m sure Jeff_H will have some comments concerning the Laser 28. As far a "vary light boats, and vary lightly built", there are a lot of truely outstanding boats that embrace both of these concepts, and keep structrual engeneers gainfully employed.
Thor, if you think your J/30 is a handfull when it blows, you should thank your lucky start you didn''t buy the Laser.
The lasers are very light boats, and very lightly built as well. The boats are built for the Lakes (i.e. not much wind)
We raced our J/30 against a Laser frequently - below 10 knots he beat us consistently, 10-15 it was back and forth, but in anything over 15 knots he might as well stay at the dock.
I heard it said more than once (for what it is worth) that the Laser 28 was the reason Laser weren''t bulding boats any more.
i have a j 30 which is a different animal than the j 28....
I would have boughbt a j 28 but the asking price was double of my j 30 ...
I really like my boat, its a little handfull when it blows, but you can depower easily ( twist, than reef ) or wht I do actually quite often sail with main alone ( beat a lot of boats upwind very relaxed )
I was also lookin at the laser, which is a better all around phrf boat to race ( especially in light winds ) but I didnt like the looks as much as the J and the wife didnt like the plastic/orange interieur compared to the wood of the j 30
But the J 28 is somewhat a milder race boat and a better cruiser than the j 30 ... just that i didnt have the dough ...
Meanwhile I can get at lkeast 5000 bucks more for my boat than i have spend ,, try to find that with older boats ....
Dont have any wet core, but I also check and rebedd things quite othen...
go for it, you wont be dissapointed
Thanks Jeff.
I was a little concerned about the short production run (only 2 years) on the J-28. I know the mid-eighties was a tough time to introduce a new boat.

Your Other Heart By Natalie Shapero
Mossy and thumping, bare of logic, red:
why do they say your other head
and not your other heart?
The snack cakes of Smut Wonderland
turn Alice smaller than her dress. She stirs,
nude in the folds of so much baby blue.
To think, they called this lesser art.
I ate mostly orders then, and you—
you were thinking with your other heart.
I took in a dog the way some might take in
a dress (I had become just skin).
It coughed. I cried for it
to stop, I fed it meat, its malady
recurrent and untreatable. I had
to give it up, like some bum body part
whose incidental benefit
the human form has out-evolved. Don't start.
That dog: I called it Help, and I cried for it.

Title: Portraits of Game and Wild Animals Of ...
Publisher: F. Howard
Publication Date: 1840
Binding: No Binding
Book Condition: Very Good
Captain W. Cornwallis Harris Portraits of Game and Wild Animals Of Southern Africa Hand-colored lithographs: London, 1840. Sir William Cornwallis Harris (1807-1848) was the epitome of the "Great White Hunter." After graduating military college, he was appointed to the Bombay headquarters at sixteen years of age. A series of promotions and consequent locational changes brought Harris, en route to a new post, to the Cape of Good Hope, where he was detained for two years by a medical board. On the voyage, Marris had befriended the avid hunter Richard Williamson of the Bombay civil establishment, and the two had arranged an expedition into the interior in quest of big game. At the time, South Africa had attracted Europe's attention owing to the Dutch colonists' exodus. For years, there had been dangerous encounters with the fierce Zulu tribes of "Dingaan," in present-day central Natal, South Africa. After conferring with the noted African naturalist, Dr. Andrew Smith who had just returned from the interior, both Harris and Williamson headed northeasterly from Algoa Bay, Cape Province. Following the Orange River through Basutoland, they finally encountered the kraals of the famous Matabelechief "Moselikatze." Through the chief's help, they returned to the colony via a new and previously closed route. Their safari, which lasted almost two years, allowed them to encounter a great variety of large game in new territories. Harris communicated an account of his travels in Southern Africa to both the Royal Geographical Society of London, and the Geographical Society of Bombay. In 1840 he published the Portraits of Game Animals, the first with pictures drawn by Harris, and reproduced on stone by F. Howard in London. All of the prints are in excellent condition, and each is accompanied by the original text describing the first impressions of the ¿Cape Colonists¿ of the particular species pictured in each print.
