Al Rider prizes helping people achieve their dreams through education as president and CEO of North Central Education Foundation, but he never dreamed that he might receive an award for what he considers just doing his job.
Rider, 63, a Hardin County native, has been chosen as this year's recipient of the Distinguished Citizen award from the Lincoln Heritage Council Boy Scouts of America.
The award is presented annually to leaders who strive to improve Hardin County, are devoted to family and place duty to God, country and others before themselves.
Rider will receive the award Tuesday at a Friends of Scouting dinner held this year at the Historic State Theater.
"I was stunned," Rider said, when he learned of the award. "It's humbling when you look at the past recipients and the wonderful contributions they have made to the community."
Although Rider said he never had the opportunity to get involved in the Boy Scouts program when he was growing up on a dairy farm near Upton, he has been a big supporter of the program and has helped organize awards programs in the past.\
Dan Leathers, Central Kentucky field director for the Lincoln Heritage Council Boy Scouts of America, said one reason Rider was chosen is his tremendous contribution to education in the Hardin County community.
"I believe everyone would agree that Mr. Rider has done a tremendous job over the years of improving the education atmosphere in our community," Leathers said.
Leather said most people don't realize that Congress chartered Boy Scouts of America in 1916 (though it was founded in 1910) as an education organization for young men.
"The selection committee believes that Al mirrors the aspects of the Scout Oath of "duty to others above self," Leathers said. "I've known Al for almost nine years, and I have seen the care and passion he has for this community."
Rider has served as head of the North Central Education Foundation since 1992 and has been largely credited with improving educational opportunities through program development in Hardin County. He also has been instrumental in expanding college-level educational options.
Rider also serves as educational liaison for the BRAC transformation at Fort Knox. In his early career, Rider worked in radio broadcasting and then moved into marketing, banking and economic development in Tennessee before returning home to Hardin County to work for NCEF.
Rider said he wants residents to be able to pursue their educational goals and personal dreams without having to leave Hardin County to do it.
"Education is the key enabler of societal, cultural and economic development," Rider said. "It's the foundation upon which rests the destiny of a community. Hardin County is growing quickly, and it is imperative the educational infrastructure be strengthened."
Rider also is a past winner of the the Joseph W. Kelly Award from the Kentucky Department of Education for exemplary leadership in education.

We report calculations of electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) for 50-2000 eV electrons in a group of 27 elements (C, Mg, Al, Si, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au and Bi). This work extends our previous calculations (Surf. Interface Anal. 11, 577 (1988)) for the 200-2000 eV range. Substantial variations were found in the shapes of the IMFP versus energy curves from element to element over the 50-200 eV range and we attributed these variations to the different inelastic scattering properties of each material. Our calculated IMFPs were fitted to a modified form of the Bethe equation for inelastic scattering in matter; this equation has four parameters. These four paramerters could be empirically related to several material parameters for our group of elements (atomic weight, bulk density, and number of valence electron per atom). IMFPs were calculated from these empirical expressions and we found that the root mean square difference between these IMFPs and those initially calculated was 13%. The modified Bethe equation and our expressions for the four parameters can therefore be used to estimate IMFPs in other materials. The uncertainties in the algorithm used for our IMFP calculation are difficult to estimate but are believed to largely systematic. Since the same algorithm has been used for calculating IMFPs, our predictive IMFP formula is considered to be particularly useful for predicting the IMFP dependence on energy in the 50-2000 eV range and the material dependence for a given energy.

History gets modern touch at Tokyo theme cafe
By Chris Meyers
TOKYO (Reuters Life!) - Theme cafes that offer cats with your coffee and waitresses in Parisian maid outfits are a fixture on Tokyo's vibrant dining scene, but one eatery is delving back in time to remain relevant today.
Samurais and the 15th century Warring States era of social upheaval and political intrigue form the theme at "Mononopu," the newest cafe in Tokyo's Akihabara district, where waitresses greet patrons as royalty while wielding swords.
Mononopu's owner, Tatsuya Nagareya, said the theme was inspired by his fascination with history as well as the growing popularity of the past among young Japanese.
"I had heard about the current popularity of Japan's Warring States period, and I like history myself, so I decided to make a cafe based on that concept," he told Reuters Television.
There are history quiz nights for customers, and staff are encouraged to take up historical names. According to Nagareya, the cafe attracts more than the usual "otaku" or geek crowd, with patrons also including groups and couples.
"I'm majoring in history at university, so I was really looking forward to coming here," said Shouta Minami, a 21-year-old student who was in Tokyo on vacation.
"The store looks a lot more like Japan's history than I expected, which I thought was really nice," added 22-year-old college student Yuui Sakata, who was also visiting Tokyo.

This is partly inspired by the other thread that's on the general forum right now...
But I've heard stories of dogs coming back from the groomers cowed, with red eyes, signs of rough handling etc. I know it largely depends on the groomer but because I've never brought Soro to a groomer before I was wondering for those who have the experience, How do you handle dogs that are not so fond of being groomed?
I've always done it myself because Soro's very easy to groom, and he dislikes baths and such so I'm able to wash him without fuss but I wouldn't want a bad grooming experience by a stranger to make it a very negative thing. Oh, and it's cheaper for me to do it myself.
I can only imagine what it must take to handle dogs that aren't used to grooming tables, or clippers... I hear muzzles are used at times? Or are some dogs just flat out rejected if they seem to be very uncomfortable? And what about dogs that dislike being groomed but NEED to be (ex. covered with excrement and matting)? In my mind finding a good groomer must be like finding a good boarding kennel or daycare... I wouldn't just mindlessly leave my dog in one, pick him up at the end, and think nothing of it.

Media freedom in free fall 20 years after Hong Kong returned to China
A generation after Hong Kong was handed back to China, the level of media freedom in the former British colony has never been so low. Physical violence against journalists has declined in recent years but control of the media continues to grow despite the emergence of a few independent but fragile online media outlets.
Hong Kong will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the transfer of sovereignty back to China with great pomp on 1 July, which is also the 96th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party's founding and the day that Hong Kong's new chief executive, Carrie Lam, officially takes office after being elected by a small committee with Beijing's support.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has invited himself to the festivities, which will include a gigantic firework show that will display the letters HK in the sky, along with "China" in simplified Mandarin characters, the official language on the mainland but little used by Hong Kong's residents.
Twenty-six journalists representing ten Hong Kong media will not be accredited to cover these events, just as they were barred from covering Lam's election in March, because the authorities do not recognize media that publish solely online. The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) has been demanding equal treatment for online media for five years but the request curiously continues to be "under examination."
As for journalists lucky enough to be sent accreditation, the message could not have been clearer. The accompanying document said that their personal details could be shared with all law enforcement agencies.
Mainstream media under control
This is not insignificant in the Hong Kong of 2017. In the course of 20 years of pro-Chinese rule, a sizable proportion of the former British colony's freedoms have been eroded although they are in theory guaranteed by its status as Special Administrative Region.
In the World Press Freedom Index compiled by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), Hong Kong has fallen from 18th in 2002 (when the Index was created) to 73rd now. Amnesty International describes the human rights situation as the worst in 20 years. This is free speech and media freedom "with Chinese characteristics," to use the Beijing newspeak that the Hong Kong residents find so hard to assimilate.
What can they expect from the traditional media? Most of the media owners have major business interests in China and more than half are members of Chinese political bodies such as the National People's Congress and the People's Political Consultative Conference. If these media bosses want to do business on the mainland, nothing helps more than a good measure of "patriotism," meaning self-censorship.
The Communications Authority, which is in charge of regulating Hong Kong's media, keeps an eye out for problems from those owners who have not understood this. One of its methods is to threaten non-renewal of their outlet's licence (see our report: "Beijing's invisible hand on Hong Kong's media").
The acquisition in December 2015 of the Hong Kong English-language daily, the South China Morning Post, by Jack Ma, the executive chairman of the Chinese Internet commerce company Alibaba, dashed any remaining hope that this venerable institution, created in 1903, might still play a watchdog role.
At the start of 2016, nearly 30 of its employees including all of its international section left the newspapers and were immediately replaced by people with a reputation for being docile or pro-Beijing.
Discreeter methods replace physical violence
Fortunately, physical violence against the media has declined in the past two years, aside from a police attack on a journalist with the daily Min Pao who was covering rioting in the Mongkok district in February 2016. More than a year later, the justice system seems to be in no hurry to shed light on the case.
The violence peaked in 2014, the year of the "umbrella revolution," in which tens of thousands of protesters demanding more democracy staged a street sit-in that went on for more than two months. On the 79th day, police broke up the protest using teargas, leaving many people injured including journalists covering the event.
2014 began with a knife attack on Ming Pao editor Kevin Lau and continued with intermittent acts of violence against media outlets, especially the Next Media group, which had to cope in turn with the blocking of its printing press, two Molotov Cocktail attacks and a large-scale cyber-attack. But in the end these spectacular acts just increased public hostility towards the Hong Kong government and Beijing.
Journalists harassed, fired
Since then, the government seems to have preferred discreeter methods of harassing and silencing independent journalists and media. The leading daily Mingpao suddenly fired its editor, Keung Kwok-yuen, on economic grounds on 20 April 2016, hours after he ran a story focusing on well-known local politicians and businessmen who had been named in the "Panama Papers" investigation.
Despite a wave of protests, Keung was not reinstated and he joins the long list of journalists whose outspoken reporting has led to their dismissal, a practice that has unfortunately become common in Hong Kong.
The Chinese-language Sing Pao Daily News is known for its pro-Beijing line but its chairman, Chinese businessman Gu Zhuoheng, paid the price when the newspaper ran a series of editorials in 2016 criticizing Hong Kong's chief executive and his links in China. The Chinese police issued a warrant for Gu's arrest for alleged financial fraud, forcing him to flee abroad. In February of this year, a cyber-attack blocked the newspaper's website for a day.
A new generation of media online
With the traditional media failing to do their job, the public has turned to the Internet and to the handful of independent online newspapers that have emerged in the past two years or so. Professional-looking although run on a shoestring, they have added to the independently-reported online local news coverage that the veteran inMedia has been providing since 2004. The new outlets include HK01, The Initium, Post852, Stand News, Hong Kong Free Press and Citizen News.
Funded by reader donations, the non-profit Stand News was the first of the new generation news sites to have kept going. Businessman Tony Tsoi launched it in January 2015, a few months after being forced to close an earlier site, House News, in the wake of being kidnapped and threatened by the security services during a visit to China.
The English-language Hong Kong Free Press was next. Two freelance journalists created it in the summer of 2015 after a crowdfunding campaign gathered four times the anticipated amount. After operating for two years, it claims to have published 8,500 stories, to have had 500,000 unique visitors and to have 1 million page views a month. This is a significant readership in a territory with 7.3 million inhabitants, 95% of them Chinese-speaking.
The Chinese-language subscription site Citizen News appeared in January of this year. It was founded by a dozen media veterans including Kevin Lau, who used his convalescence to help develop the project, and Daisy Li, a famous journalist who received the International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists in 1994.
However, the prospects of these new online media outlets are uncertain. They are barred from covering official events, they are using non-commercial economic models whose viability has yet to be demonstrated, they are exposed to the possibility of cyber-attacks and it is very difficult if not impossible for them to cover Mainland China.
Furthermore, they are also exposed to the possibility of being subjected to the same brutal methods that were used to rein in Hong Kong's independent publishing sector.
Kidnapped publishers
Although two years have gone by, no one has forgotten the abduction in 2015 of five members of the staff of a Hong Kong-based publishing house specializing in sensationalist books about senior Chinese leaders. They subsequently appeared on Chinese TV, escorted by police officers and forced to confess their "crimes."
Another publisher, Yiu Mantin, had previously been sentenced to ten years in prison on the mainland in 2014 as he was about to publish a book in Hong Kong with a suggestive title: "Xi Jinping, China's godfather".
In Hong Kong nowadays, you think twice about publishing revelations about Beijing's leaders, especially as one of the publishers, British citizen Lee Bo, was kidnapped in Hong Kong itself and another, Gui Minhai, a Swedish citizen kidnapped in Thailand, is still held in China.
These two cases serve as a constant reminder to Hong Kong's inhabitants that nothing – no passport and no border – gives them complete protection from China's intelligence services. They constitute a permanent threat, especially as Beijing has turned the abduction and torture of human rights activists into one of the trademarks of its authoritarian methods in recent years.

Nobel laureate with terminal cancer moved to hospital
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) regrets that it took a terminal cancer diagnosis for the Chinese government to move Liu Xiaobo to hospital. The free speech activist, who was awarded the RSF Press Freedom Prize in 2004 and the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010, is still not free although he was officially granted medical parole and his wife, Liu Xia, remains under house arrest.
Liu's exit from prison today after eight years in detention should have been good news but in fact he has only been transferred to hospital after being been diagnosed with late-stage terminal liver cancer. His lawyer said he is now in a hospital in Shenyang (the capital of the northeastern province of Liaoning), near the prison where he was held.
"It is regrettable that it was only after such a grave diagnosis that he could be moved to hospital, and he is still not free" RSF secretary-general Christophe Deloire said. "Everything must now be done to ensure that Liu, who embodies resistance to oppression and the fight for free speech in China, can be treated properly and leave the country if he so wishes."
An emblematic figure in the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy demonstrations, during which he went on hunger strike, Liu taught at Columbia University (in the United States) and Beijing Normal University. He was serving an 11-year prison sentence for "inciting subversion of state power."
Wife still under house arrest
"Liu Xiaobo's wife, Liu Xia, has been under house arrest since October 2010 and is suffering from depression because of the way the authorities have isolated and harassed her although no court ever convicted her," said Cédric Alviani, the head of RSF's Taipei-based East Asia bureau. "We call for the immediate and unconditional release of Liu Xiaobo, Liu Xia and all other prisoners of consciences and detained journalists and bloggers."
Liu Xiaobo was arrested on 23 June 2009 and was convicted on 25 December of the same year for posting the "Charter 08" manifesto online calling for respect for human rights and an end to one-party rule in China. He previously spent 18 months in preventive detention and three years doing forced labour for advocating non-violent democratic reforms.
In 2010, Liu Xiaobo became the first Chinese citizen to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize even if he was unable to travel to Stockholm to collect it. The prize was symbolically presented to an empty chair despite threats of reprisals by the Chinese authorities. He was the world's only detained Nobel peace laureate.
RSF conducted repeated campaigns on behalf of its 2004 Press Freedom laureate and tried repeatedly to draw the international community's attention to his fate.
Wu'er Kaixi and Wang Dan, two human rights defenders who took part in the Tiananmen Square protests, said: "We believe that Liu Xiaobo's physical and mental suffering in China's prison system is the fundamental cause of the deterioration of his health, and we take this opportunity to express our reaffirmation of the fact that the Chinese government deliberately sentenced him to death over the past nine years of the sentence he has served due simply to his outspoken thinking."
Still one of the world's biggest prisons for journalists, China is ranked near the bottom of RSF's 2017 World Press Freedom Index – 176th out of 180 countries.

Best Of :: La Vida
Owner Mayela Vargas named El Peasco Mexican Kitchen after a tiny town in Chihuahua, Mexico, where her parents were born, and the hometown spirit shows. There's a village of miniature adobe homes on display in the middle of the room, murals of plants and pottery on the walls, and upbeat norteo on the stereo. Instead of chips, diners are presented with warm tortillas to scoop up a light, tangy green tomatillo salsa, flecked with soft bits of avocado and cheese. If you do order chips, though, try the slightly spicy red salsa, which is thick and tomatoey. (Both the red and green salsas took home second-place awards at the 2006 Southwest Salsa Challenge.) House specialties include carne asada del Peasco, coated in a complex blend of seasonings that evoke the fire of chorizo; shrimp enchiladas blanketed in a creamy sauce of green chile peppers and onion; and El Peasco burro, filled with moist white-meat chicken, lightly fried, and ladled with slightly spicy cream cheese sauce. And the family-style dinners, only available from the carry-out menu, are an irresistible bargain. ($16 to feed four? Sign us up!) It's enough to make the other neighborhoods jealous.
We love the art that celebrates Das de los Muertos, or the Day of the Dead the enormous papier-mch skeletons, the smaller scenes that depict the dead doing everything from writing at the typewriter to performing surgery in the operating room. But damn, sometimes that art can be expensive! So when we want a quick, sweet (but warning not edible) Day of the Dead fix, we head to the Willow House, where we can find a beautiful (in its way) sugar skull, made deep in Mexico and decorated with the traditional brightly colored sugar frosting and shiny tinfoil, for $4. On a recent trip to Willow, we also found a lovely cardboard Jesus air freshener to hang in the car.
The members of the Border Film Project Rudy Adler, Victoria Criado and Brett Huneycutt were smart enough to hand thousands of disposable cameras to immigrants and Minutemen. Some of them were smart enough to send them back, and SMoCA was smart enough to incorporate the results into a full-blown exhibition. We commend them all for creating a much more realistic glimpse of the border than most of us will ever get.
In the Southwest, "authentic" Mexican furniture isn't hard to find. Even big-box stores have hacienda collections these days. But that little "hecho en Mexico" sticker doesn't always mean much when it comes to quality. Authentic (not "authentic") handmade furniture and imports are much harder to come by. Fortunately, Bellas Artes de Mexico lives up to its name, making it our pick for best Mexican imports store. Walking into this family-owned furniture shop feels a bit like walking into the home of a 16th-century conquistador. The place is filled with beautifully hand-carved tables, doors and wardrobes with details so intricate it feels like they must open up to reveal some south-of-the-border Narnia. Bellas Artes is owned by Cristina and Felipe Guzman, who import furniture from their family's well-known furniture shop in Guadalajara, Mexico. The family's woodworking ability is clearly the star of the show the mesquite tables are breathtaking, and one of our favorite pieces was a Last Supper scene carved from one giant piece of pine but the store is also good for hand-painted ceramic dishes, traditional tin mirrors, and random, brightly painted knickknacks.
You don't have to go south of the border to find great Mexican pottery at least not south of the U.S. border. Just south of Arizona Mills mall is a cozy little brick storefront overflowing with clay pots and colorful planters painted in shades of burnt orange and turquoise. Inside, shelves are brimming with imported goods from Mexico and Latin America. There are ceramic lizards to crawl down your garden walls and a selection of handmade pots that dwarfs those of the gardening departments at Home Depot and Lowe's. There's a bit of a language barrier for non-Spanish speakers, but there are usually a few young translators around to help bridge the gap. Besides, the only question you'll really need to ask is Cunto cuesta? (How much?), because once you find a Mata Ortiz pot for less than its manufactured equivalent, you won't even dream of going somewhere else for Mexican home decor.
From roughhewn pine benches to massive armoires covered in wrought-iron spikes that look more like torture devices than entertainment centers, this North Valley warehouse has everything to make su casa exude rustic charm. La Casona specializes in high-end custom rustic furniture, which is hard to find even in most so-called authentic Mexican stores. A custom dining table with mesquite legs and padded leather chairs can set you back $10K, but we think it's worth it for an heirloom piece tailor-made for your space. Don't worry if that's more than you paid for your car, you can still find something that won't break the bank. The affordable stretched leather equipal tables, along with colorful Talavera pottery, tin mirrors and hand-painted folk art, will make your home feel like a permanent fiesta.

Sonia Katyal '98 Appointed the Joseph M. McLaughlin Professor of Law at Fordham University School of Law
Sonia Katyal has been appointed the Joseph M. McLaughlin Professor of Law, following the retirement of Maria Marcus.
"I am delighted to recognize Professor Katyal's exemplary scholarship with this appointment," said Fordham Law Dean Michael M. Martin. "Our School's intellectual property program is immeasurably enriched by her award-winning work focused on the intersection of art, technology, and civil rights."
Katyal's articles have been published in prominent legal publications, including the Texas Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, the UCLA Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal. They also have garnered multiple awards, including an honorable mention in the 2006 American Association of Law Schools Scholarly Papers Competition, the 2004 Cybercrime Award from the Yale Journal of Law and Technology, the 2002 Dukeminier award from the Williams project at UCLA. In addition, her article "Stealth Marketing and Antibranding: The Love that Dare Not Speak Its Name" was selected as one of the best articles in media and entertainment law for 2010 and will be included in the 2011 Entertainment Publishing and the Arts Handbook (West).
Her most recent book, Property Outlaws (Yale University Press, 2010), co-authored with Eduardo Peñalver, explores, in part, how changes in new media alter the balance between law, technology, and property entitlements. Her forthcoming book, Contrabrand (Yale University Press, 2012), studies the relationship between trademark law, advertising, freedom of artistic expression, and brand equity. It was funded in part by The Creative Capital/Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant—the first such grant ever awarded to a law professor. Two other book projects include a casebook on cultural property (co-authored with Angela Riley and Kristen Carpenter, to be published by Aspen) and a handbook on law and art (coauthored with Christine Farley, to be published by Elgar Press).
Katyal joined Fordham Law in 2002 after working as an associate specializing in intellectual property litigation in the San Francisco office of Covington & Burling. A graduate of Brown University and the University of Chicago Law School, she clerked for Hon. Carlos Moreno (later a California Supreme Court Justice) of the Central District of California from 1998 to 1999 and for Hon. Dorothy Nelson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from 1999 to 2000.

Hello to everyone. Is there anyone here Indian from India? If not, that
is ok. The reason I'm asking is because I would like to know how and
what kind of makeup most Indian women use on their face to get it
to look so matte and opaque?
Once I went to a Clinique counter and the girl there was from India.
One part of her face was so opaque and matte as if her skin was
that way naturally but it was not because the other part of her face
was very very bad. So I never did find out from her what she used
to get it to look like that. If anyone knows how they do that, let me
Thanks :cherry:
the easiest way to get that look is to use powder. a blotting powder in a tone carefully matching your skin is a good choice.
there are also products you can put under your makeup that are sold specifically as "mattifiers" - Smashbox Anti-Shine, Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Shine Mattifying Gel, and LOLA Cosmetics Refine Shine Anti-Shine Gel.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
-Could you explain your situation a little more?Have charges been filed or are you asking if it is permissible to leave the children alone?
If charges have been file what state statute was used?
Dear JACUSTOMER - There's no specific law that says when a child may be left alone or for how long as it always depends on the circumstances. Some things are obvious such as in the case of infants or very small children. As kids grow older they can be left alone for short periods of time but, once again, there are other factors to consider. The safety of the neighborhood, the maturity of the child , the security of the home and the availability of help if something goes wrong. The parent is legally responsible for a minor child until the child reaches the age of 18 but obviously older children are left alone frequently and even provide babysitting services for other small children.
So in order to say it is a crime of child endangerment you would have to show that the children are not capable of being alone for the period of time in question or that there are external factors that would cause them to be in danger. In your case it is certainly questionable due to the ages of the children as to whether being alone is putting them in danger. You have a couple of options. One is to file a motion with the court for a change of custody based on the fact that it would be in the best interests of the children to be with you rather than the mother due to being left alone so often. The other, more serious action you can take is to report this to child protective services and have them investigate the possibility of criminal action for child endangerment. I can't tell you what the possible penalty would be but if the children have not been injured or put in real danger I doubt the mother would go to jail however the children could be removed from the home by CPS and placed with you.
Those are your two options that would get some action by the courts or the authorities. You can argue with her all you want but if she continues to leave your children alone you have no recourse but to take some action with the courts or CPS.

Ok, so here's an update for the people that care:
Just got back from looking at this guy's 2002 WRX who lives about 10 mins from me. Absolutely fell in love with it... the guy is really cool, he's in his 30's and was the first owner of the car. He bought it back in 2001 right off the showroom floor. Great guy, really knows his stuff, and the car is absolutely immaculate.
So here's the run down on his car.
108,000 miles
5 SPD Trans
FP Green 16G Turbo (500 miles on it)
Upgraded TMIC (ebay I believe)
STi Pinks
Eibach ProKit Springs
Cusco rear sway
Cusco front sway (not installed)
Front H-Brace (not installed)
Set of 4 rims in gunmetal (not sure on brand, Rota maybe) w/ tires
STi Gold BBS rims on car currently
Full Audio w/ Pioneer Headunit w/ Nav
Gutted STi Exhaust (catless)
Catless UP
Catless DP (not sure on brand)
Stg. 4 Clutch (brand new)
OEM Flywheel (brand new)
Recent service/oil change
JDM Rear Spoiler
Un-painted side skirts
**All of the turbo work, etc., was done at Mach V.
He has some other goodies that he would throw in (Cusco sway, rims, etc.) which would be pretty nice. I know the car has 108k on the clock, but damn, this guy has taken care of his WRX. The paint is flawless and by the way he talked, I could tell that he really cares and has babied his WRX through its entire life thus far. All of the mileage (according to him) was from the highway with about 30-40% coming from city driving around here in NoVa. He also took me for a quick spin down the FFX County Parkway and holy carp...it pulls hard ; and sounds amazing!
So what do you all think? Good deal or not? Considering everything that I've stated above, should I keep this at the top of my list, or should I get over myself now and look for something that has less miles but is more expensive?
EDIT: some pics.

On his radio show, Beck repeatedly compared Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Howard Dean, at one point exclaiming, "This guy is Howard frickin' Dean."

On the August 14 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Glenn Beck repeatedly compared Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean, at one point exclaiming, "This guy is Howard frickin' Dean." Responding to Ahmadinejad's criticism of the Bush administration during an August 13 interview with Mike Wallace on CBS' 60 Minutes, Beck declared that Ahmadinejad "sounded like Howard Dean. ... You listen to this thing; the only word he didn't use was Halliburton." After airing an audio clip of Ahmadinejad stating through a translator that "45 million people don't have health care cover" in the United States, Beck stated: "That is the Howard Dean message. ... [T]his is the Democratic platform."
Beck is also the host of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck. As Media Matters for America has noted, Beck previously declared on that program that Ahmadinejad "sounded ... a lot like [filmmaker] Michael Moore" in a letter Ahmadinejad wrote to President Bush.
From the August 14 broadcast of Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program:
BECK: Stop, stop, stop this. There were two places where Ahmadinejad, President -- Tom as you and I know him -- actually sounded like -- well, there was a moment where I expected him to say: "And then, we'll go on to Wisconsin, then to Michigan, and to Ohio. Yowwww!" I -- he sounded like Howard Dean. Here's one of those places: "George Bush and his cronies want to control oil." You listen to this thing; the only word he didn't use was Halliburton.
AHMADINEJAD (through translator) [clip]: -- and 45 million people don't have a health care cover.
BECK: Stop! He's saddened that the American people, 45 million people, don't have health care coverage. Got it?
AHMADINEJAD [clip]: That is very sad.
BECK: Very sad.
WALLACE [clip]: And he was sad also not to hear any answer from President -
BECK: Stop! This guy is Howard frickin' Dean. That is the Howard Dean message. Why are you spending so much money in Iraq? It's meaningless, it's worthless, when you don't have health care. Your economy -- you're distracting people. You're going over and killing people as a distraction because the economy is so bad. I mean, this is the Democratic platform.

i read in the edelbrock catalog that the intake mannifold for the 472/500, "does not accept oem throtle linkage" does anyone know what the fix for this is or do i have to rig somthing up?
i read in the edelbrock catalog that the intake mannifold for the 472/500, "does not accept oem throtle linkage" does anyone know what the fix for this is or do i have to rig somthing up?
MacGuyver it! It'll be more impressive anyways, when you tell everyone, "Yea, it wouldn't fit, so I just threw this little contraption together to make it work." I did the same with my 'ol Dodge truck, and it works great...just stare and it until you figure something out! :) Nah, but you could call Edelbrock, get the tech support number from the website, or the catalog, and they'll be able to tell you in just a minute.
It raises the carb a couple inches from stock level, so the cable that connects to the carb will need to be longer. I think.
It works fine. unscrew the little ball part of the ball and socket linkage end, and reuse that. The carb comes with a new one, but forget getting the old one out, just use the original. Lines right up.
68' Big Body
DaveSmed, I think you might have his question regarding the 'Intake Manifold' mixed up with your reply for an Edelbrock Carb. His question is a valid because it's the truth, the throttle linkage on my 68 Fleetwood with the ball type fitting you mentiond was still able to be connected to my OEM Quadrajet Carb after I fited the new Intake Manifold 2115. The problem though, is on the original setup, the stock manifold had a part that sits just forward and to the right of the Carb mounted on a small plate (with 2 wires fed into it and was spring loaded), and the linkage arm you mention was attached to this piece while this piece was then attached to the side of the Carb. The issue for me (not knowing the name of that part I mentioned) was that while the Carb was now 3" higher, there was no way to also raise this part up to the same level. This part can not be deleted because it is what returns the throttle lever to is resting position once you let off the throttle. Remember it's spring loaded. The Edelbrock intake Manifol does have pre-drilled holes in the same area as the stock unit did for such a part but the holes aren't spaced correctly, and if they did you still would have to get this small part raised up by 3" to match the Carb. So while you 'CAN' attach the throttle linkage, as you stated, it WILL NOT operate correctly unless you make provisions for this part to also work in conjunction with it, just like stock. I will post a pic, I will show you..
See Ya,
68' Big Body
This is the part in question that you'd have to raise up 3" just as you did with the Carb itself. The second picture is how I got around this small detail, by screwing in a bolt into one of the holes provided in the Manifold (remember the ones I said were incorrectly spaced but were there), then wrapped an Aluminun strap around it and fixed the spring that was already there, only it was used with the part in pic #1 instead. As it has been stated, fitting the throttle linkage is not the problem, but fitting the return spring and / or deceleration dashpot is.
See Ya,
Ah, got me. :D Anyway based on your pic, did you retain the kickdown switch anywhere? I axed the dashpot and kickdown on mine when changing carbs so I forgot about the return dashpot, whos function is to prevent stalls by cushoning the throttle when you let off sharply. The kickdown switch isn't an essental item, because kickdowns are regulated via two ways with TH400s, with the vacuum modulator and with the detent solenoid which vents pressure out of a line to the detent valve. Your trans might not always kickdown when it used to, or as quick as it did before, but with all that torque :lildevil: its not TOO big of a deal (you can always manually kickdown). To see if yours even works, open the hood, and move the linkage to WOT with the engine off. You should hear a click from the transmission. If you dont, yours didn't work anyway and there will be no difference from axing it.
68' Big Body
So, if I understand correctly...that part I posted in the pic that had the 2 wires attached was fro the kickdown? You know I didn't know what that part did but I do remember that after the changes were made the car didn't kickdown as often when floored, as it did before. Well, if that the case, I could just re-attach that part only without the dashpot and plate. The 2 wires are still there and I could make that work cause I'd like the kickdown function to work if all possible. Next, moving the linkage to WOT I hear only fuel being injected into the Carb, but no other sounds such as the 'click' you mentioned. where is this switch located and how do I make it operational?
Also, how do you manually kickdown the trnnny?
See Ya,
You could do that, or many aftermarket vendors carry kickdown switches. I know Lokar makes one, (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&part=LOK%2DKD2400HT&N=110&Ntk=KeywordSearch&Ntt=TH400+kickdown) B&M does too. (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&part=BMM%2D20297&N=110&Ntk=KeywordSearch&Ntt=TH400+kickdown)
Manually kickdown? Move the shifter down a notch or two, depending on your speed. Use with care. ;) With your car, >40-45 go to L, between 45-90 the right-hand Drive. May or may not apply to other cars, including your car. Works nice on mine, and those figures give a bit of cushion. You shouldn't be able to put your car in 1st at 90, but theres other things you can do wrong (like not upshifting at those speeds) that can break stuff.

Jumping in between model numbers, like the Xperia X1, X2, X10, and X8, we find the Xperia X7 moniker to fall in place for their potential devices. Both the Xperia X7 and X7 mini have been leaked alongside with some speculated specs that show off their allegiance to Microsoft's polished mobile platform.
First up is the Xperia X7 which is going to come packing an impressive 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260 chipset, 4.3" display, 8.1-megapixel camera with 720p video recording, and an HDMI out port. Needless to say that it's a monster in its own regard, but its design is pretty much more of the same with its rounded corners.
On the other hand, the Xperia X7 mini will feature a 3.5" display, 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8250 processor, 10.1-megapixel camera which will pack 3x optical zoom and xenon flash. Essentially, the Xperia X7 mini is more adept for the casual photo enthusiasts out there.
Based on the information provided by the leak, we can expect to see these two handsets to come to market some time during Q1 of 2011 – which should be plenty of time for them to get it fine tuned to its fullest. Now that Sony Ericsson seems to be in the game with Windows Phone 7, are you excited for either of them?
Thanks Imad!

Last week Kraft sent me a coupon for a free package of their new Deli Deluxe Bacon Cheddar. So Sean and I reviewed it on Bacon LIVE. We both thought the something, the bacon flavor is missing.
I first thought was that our bacon palates were so use to the top shelf bacon we usually review, that we couldn't taste the bacon flavor. Quality bacon has a very intense smoky flavor so maybe we were use to that. It's been a long time since I ate regular old bacon. So I asked a few people on Twitter and Facebook and they all said the same thing, "It's good but where is the bacon?â€
If this was just a review of the Deli Deluxe Cheddar it would have been a glowing review. The cheddar part is great and really does taste like something you would get from your deli counter. It has a smooth rich taste with just the right amount of sharpness to not offend most people. But sadly for Kraft this is not Mr. Cheddarpants' blog.
The bacon in the new cheddar is half missing since you can see it but you can't taste it. During the review on Bacon LIVE, Sean dug out the biggest bacon bit he could find and still he couldn't taste it. The cheese doesn't even smell like bacon, all you smell is cheddar.
I thought that maybe if you heated the cheddar the melting and heat would bring out the bacon. Even the recipes that Kraft sent me told you heat it, so I thought I was on to something. But sadly even that didn't really help. The flavor was still missing or weak.
Here are what a few bacon loving Twitter followers Facebook fans have to say about it:
- metalchick666: I hated it, no bacon taste at all!
- Phil A.: I've had it, it's not super bacony but I definitely taste the bacon.
- Aaron Tucker: The bacon is a lie!
As a cheese the Deli Deluxe Cheddar is good, but as a bacon cheddar it's disappointing. If you a real bacon lover I would stay away from this one. Let this be something the pretend bacon lovers say they enjoy because it says bacon on the packaging.
I hope Kraft sees this review and quickly goes back to the test kitchens to get this one right. They're halfway there; they just need to add the bacon flavoring.

Louis Bartk (b. 1851) is a remarkable satirist and epigrammatist (Krpti emlkek).
As an epigrammatist himself, Rogers might have been more indulgent to a consoeur.
In this sense the epigrammatist was right who said that 'to Newman his own nature was a revelation which he called conscience.'
She will say things worthy of a French epigrammatist, and act like a robin in a greenhouse.
Purple but pleasing, Denby said, with the air of an epigrammatist.
It is recognised that life with an epigrammatist has become unendurable.
As a matter of fact Page 263he was rather an epigrammatist than a poet, his ambition being to be known as the Dutch Martial.
He consulted me upon it, who am a little of an epigrammatist myself, you know.
This power was John Heywood, the king's fool, the epigrammatist, who was dreaded by the whole court.
The poet Dryden, and the epigrammatist Owen, celebrated him in still briefer verse.

Case in point: midfielder Andre Rocha, who led the team in assists last year with eight in a promising debut season, yet so far in 2009 has been a disappointment. He reported to camp in very poor shape, which has limited his playing time, and he received a red card after just 11 minutes of action during a 4-3 loss to Parana in Curitiba, Brazil, on Monday.
Jeff Cunningham, Kenny Cooper and Steve Purdy scored for FCD, which squandered leads of 2-0 and 3-2 to the second division team. Another goal by Cunningham from a Dave van den Bergh cross was waived off for offside in the 16th minute, and trialist Gaspar Peaz bundled the ball into the net in a scramble with the Parana goalkeeper just before halftime but the referee whistled for a foul that wiped out the score.
After Cunningham and Cooper scored in the first half, with Cunningham assisting on Cooper's goal after polishing off a feed from newcomer David Ferreira, Parana tied the match on goals a minute apart by Gedeon (55th minute) and Wando (56th).
Rocha went off a minute later, and was replaced by Eric Avila to keep the teams at even strength. Parana had been allowed to replace Maicon after his red card in the 40th minute. Both players were dismissed for dissent. Rocha had come into the match for the second half in place of Dax McCarty, who eventually returned during the late stages under the liberalized substitution rules in effect for this game.
Purdy got his head to a van den Bergh corner kick to restore FCD's lead in the 67th minute, and again Parana responded. Wando raced up the right flank and delivered a cross into the box that Clenio finished to tie the match again at 3-3.
Eugeton scored the winner in the 74th minute, squeezing home a shot from near the right sideline that dipped just under the crossbar over keeper Ray Burse, who conceded all four goals after replacing Dario Sala at halftime.
A last-minute flurry of corner kicks yielded a shot on goal by trialist Jamie Watson that was deflected to safety and Parana held out for the win.
The preseason schedule, during which Dallas is 3-2-2, continues Wednesday with the first of two annual matches against Brazilian partner and preseason host Clube Atletico Paranaense in the USA-Brazil Challenge at Arena da Baixada.
Parana 4, FC Dallas 3
March 2 in Curitiba, Brazil

FC Dallas 1st Half - Sala, Wagner, Purdy, Moor, Saragosa, van den Bergh, Ricchetti, Ferreira, McCarty, Cunningham, Cooper (Paez* 42).

Nature and Art
Biomimicry in Architecture
Can you spot nature in these architectural designs?
By Jordana Fyne
Biomimicry literally means the imitation of life.
But what biomimicry means for you and me is a new world of innovation. Or rather, our natural world translated into innovation.
Armed with centuries of trial, error and evolution, the natural world is the ultimate Consumer Reports guide. Cockroaches have been around for more than 300 million years – you may not like them in your kitchen, but you have to admire their destruction-proof design. The study of biomimicry is looking to that time-tested design for new ideas.
In 1941, Swiss engineer Georges de Mestral noticed his woolen socks covered in burrs after walking his dog in the woods. He slipped the burrs under a microscope and saw hook-shaped seeds meshed with the looped fibers in his socks. Today we call that Velcro.
Nature's designs are integrated in so many aspects of our daily lives, and, with more than half of our global population in cities, it's no surprise to see nature turning up in our infrastructure. Take Japan, for example. After the devastating 2011 earthquake, one of the only buildings left standing was Toyo Ito's building, Mediatheque.
Jaws dropped at the seeming impossibility of the seven-story glass box of a building surviving a magnitude-9.0 earthquake, but a look at the design tells a different story. In a nation wracked by earthquakes, Ito conceived of a structure with "seaweed-like tubes swaying freely as they supported floor plates, as though the architecture were without weight or dimension." Constructed with this nod to the ocean's most enduring organism, the seaweed-inspired Mediatheque has galvanized a new generation of architecture.
Examples of biomimicry can be found in the buildings all around us. Think you can spot the beauty of nature embedded in urban structures? Test your eye for design in this slideshow, Biomimicry in Architecture.

The Indiana Area Senior High School Family and Consumer Sciences program offers a variety of courses that provide lifelong skills for students.
Among these courses is Independent Foods, where students learn a variety of basic cooking skills to help them to be more independent after they graduate.
To offset recent budget restrictions, two Indiana teachers have found a creative new way to give students a valuable learning experience while also helping to raise funds for their department programs.
Family and Consumer Sciences teacher Genna Chilson and Life Skills Support teacher Lori Dadson have created Caf← 106, an in-house restaurant run by Dadson's students.
The students are learning the skills needed to run a restaurant, preparing dishes, serving customers and handling the finances. The food is prepared in Chilson's classroom, 106, hence the name Caf← 106.
Beginning in April, the students will be operating the restaurant three to four times throughout April and May. Next year, they hope to offer it every week.
English teacher Larry Nath said, "The food and the service were both excellent. I hope the Caf← is open more often next year."
Each meal consists of an entr←e, a side and a desert. Soups and salads will almost always be on the menu. The caf← is open to all teachers and staff at a very reasonable cost during lunch periods. The teachers have to turn in what they're ordering several days ahead of time — it's kind of like getting a reservation at a restaurant.
Teachers and staff can give input on the meals and give suggestions for foods they'd like to see served in the future.
Caf← 106 is a creative way for the Family and Consumer Science Department to give students the experience of running an actual restaurant while also helping to bring in some much needed revenue.
The cooks are the students in Chilson's Independent Foods Class.
These students have the opportunity to learn much more than most do in a regular cooking class.
As Chilson said, "They (the students) not only learn how to cook, but because they are running a restaurant, they learn how to manage money and deal with customers."
Chilson and Dadson work together closely to make sure everything goes according to plan.
The teaching and the planning happens in Dadson's classroom and the actual cooking and selling happens in Chilson's classroom.
Caf← 106 is a great addition to the Family and Consumer Sciences course.
Dadson added, "The class gives students a real-life experience with both handling money and how to appropriately interact with customers."

Thing 10 – why librarianship #cpd23
Posted September 4, 2011on:
Well, better late than never I guess. I've had the beginnings of this post in my mind for a very long time, and somehow am only just getting around to it just now. I've been very busy with life and work stuff and that's my only excuse…for now.
So for thing 10 we've been asked to write about our experiences of librarianship, how we got started and where we hope to go. Well then…lets get cracking!
I think, having read a few other people's posts for this thing (one advantage to being late to the party again), that I'm one of the rare people who are in the library world due to design and not an accident. I remember clearly being asked when I was five years old what I wanted to be when I grew up. Being a fairly serious child I gave this considerable thought and about 15 minutes later declared:
"I want to work in the library, so I can read all the books in the world and not have to buy them all."
Ok, so I'll admit at that age I incorrectly assumed that if I worked in the library I'd be allowed to read all the books – an assumption I've moved on from. I spent most of my time either in a library or on the way to and from libraries, so I guess my parents shouldn't have been surprised at that answer really! Summer holidays from school were punctuated with two or three library visits a week (not an easy task with a 20 mile round trip) to replenish my reading stock, and I think the staff saw me as part of the furniture as they often talked me through the processes they undertook and allowed me to issue and discharge my own books using the old Brown system of filing – I was actually so excited by this that they sometimes let me file other library member's cards as well.
So from that point onwards my goal was clear, I investigated my options, and became a Saturday assistant at one of my local public libraries a few weeks before my 16th birthday (they allowed me to start early due to my enthusiasm and desperation at the interview when the issue of me being too young came up). I also spent as much of my time as possible finding out what it would need for me to be able to be a librarian, I had one big advantage in this quest in that one of my aunties and two family friends worked in the library world in Scotland, they were able to answer questions and brought me back to reality when I became unrealistic in my dreams!
For a few weeks after a huge argument with the careers advisor at my secondary school (an argument that still makes my blood boil many years later) I toyed with the idea of primary school teaching, but after a week of work experience in a school I realised that my heart was really in the library not the classroom. Having appeased the careers advisor who didn't think librarianship was the career I should be following I was able to focus again on what I needed to do in order to achieve my dream of being a fully qualified librarian. I visited three universities who were offering undergraduate degrees in Librarianship (or similar degrees) and ended up at Loughborough, I'd applied for a sandwich year and as such ended up being one of two students studying Library and Information management for my final year, I also have the (dubious) honour of being the last person to graduate from that degree at undergraduate level.
The part of my career I hadn't planned for was what happened after my degree. I spent a couple of months doing some classification and cataloguing for an environmental agency whilst applying for jobs in public libraries. At this stage I came up against a few problems, for any of the Librarian posts I applied for I had the same response of "not enough experience" and when I applied for the library assistant posts was turned down due to the fact that I was over qualified. The accidental part of my career was when I applied for a post in an academic library – a sector I hadn't really considered before. I was given an opportunity to start at the University of Northampton (or University College Northampton as it was at the time) and the post I applied for was an entry-level one that meant just being out of Library School wasn't an issue. My role at the University has changed in the past 7 years and although my job title is still the same the responsibilities and duties have changed substantially. I've also had the opportunity to complete a Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching Higher Education (PGCTHE), which was challenging yet fun, perhaps I'll get around to posting my reflections on that process at some stage soon.
After this years LILAC conference I have to admit to having rethought my younger decision of not wanting to work in a primary school, however if i ever go down that route it would be as a librarian not as a teacher!
That just about covers where I've been…so what next? My next aim is to complete my Chartership (putting that on here doesn't make it reality does it…?) I have spent the last couple of years concentrating on the PGCTHE so now I feel that I should put my head down and concentrate on Chartership. Following that I've got it in my mind to investigate various Masters degrees. Although I am certain that doing my Library degree as an undergraduate one was the correct route for me to take, I do think that having a Master's degree might be an advantage for future careers. The hardest part is deciding what area to commit too…on one hand I am interested in looking into archival subjects, however I'm also interested in e-learning and furthering the learning I've done for my PGCTHE. Alternatively to all of this I could undertake study in a totally different subject and go from there. I honestly think that this will take some serious thought before I make any decisions, and some of it will depend on where it looks like my job might be taking me. I'd be interested to hear from other people who have come to libraries through an undergraduate route and see their opinions – have you undertaken further study, if so in what areas, if not then is it something you're considering?
Well that's enough from me I think, I might post again tonight, to try to bring myself slightly closer to the current thing…but I'll see what inspiration I get first!

[…] already blogged about my route into librarianship as Thing 10 I've just added it to the library routes project wiki, so I've done all that this […]

just put on a hundred miles or so on these new ceramic pads. replaced both the front and the rear. hopefully they will perform well for a long time. so far i feel that the distance has improved slightly over the stock ones, not substantially. However the overall feel is pretty solid. gives you a nice confident braking feeling. recommended.

The culture of the Creole (native) in Louisiana emerged from the blending of:
a. Native American, French and Latino cultures
b. Native American, French and African American cultures
c. Latino, French and African American cultures
d. French, Portuguese and Native American cultures
E. None of the above… There is no evidence that Native Americans are in this mix.
Always a controversial and confusing term, the word Creole, to put it simply, means many things to many people. It derives from the Latin creare, meaning "to beget" or "create." After the New World's discovery, Portuguese colonists used the word crioulo to denote a New World slave of African descent. Eventually, the word was applied to all New World colonists, regardless of ethnic origin, living along the Gulf Coast, especially in Louisiana. There the Spanish introduced the word as criollo, and during Louisiana's colonial period (1699-1803) the evolving word Creole generally referred to persons of African or European heritage born in the New World. By the nineteenth century, black, white, and mixed-race Louisianians used the term to distinguish themselves from foreign-born and Anglo-American settlers. It was during that century that the mixed-race Creoles of Color (or gens de couleur libre, "free persons of color") came into their own as an ethnic group, enjoying many of the legal rights and privileges of whites. They occupied a middle ground between whites and enslaved blacks, and as such often possessed property and received formal educations. After the Civil War, most Creoles of Color lost their privileged status and joined the ranks of impoverished former black slaves. All the while, however, the word Creole persisted as a term also referring to white Louisianians, usually of upper-class, non-Cajun origin (although, confusingly, even Cajuns sometimes were called Creoles, primarily by outsiders unfamiliar with local ethnic labels). Like the Creoles of Color, these white Creoles (also called French Creoles) suffered socioeconomic decline after the Civil War. In Acadiana, newly impoverished white Creoles often intermarried with the predominantly lower-class Cajuns, and were largely assimilated into Cajun culture.

I just wanted to say that I agree with all the comments that Cliff made concerning the Nikon Coolpix 8800, it is indeed a superb piece of equipment, I own several digital camera's, but the 8800 outshines them all and I have yet to see better image quality. In fact, fearing that something untoward might happen to my 8800, I went on Ebay and found a spare just in case...the seller described it as 'in superb condition', in fact it was in mint condition, all credit to him, and all for 𧶏...if anyone is thinking about starting out on the digi trail then I can thoroughly recommend that they seriously consider this camera, they won't be disappointed.
Best regards.
Please, tell me how can I sett Adobe RGB (1998) on my Nikon coolpix 8800? I'll configure colors on my camera.Thank you. I. Raic
October 28, 2011. Just surfing around and saw this review about my trusted old Nikon 8800.
When talking about "Best" camera, you have to ask, "Best for what". I have carried my 8800 through 30 countries (with a Nikon 8700 backup). The camera is superb for traveling. I have printed 16x20 inch prints of Meteora in Greece that the lab could not believe came from a 5-year old 8-MP camera.
It may not be the best "Studio" camera, but I don't care.
