Issues with Shutting engine off, and Automatic Door Locks
Hi all,
After having a few days to drive my X1 around and configure some settings, I noticed that shutting down / exiting the car seems to be a lengthy process, or maybe I'm just missing something?
First, I have to press the engine start/stop button twice: Once to shut the engine off, and then a second time to shut down the radio and everything else. Otherwise, when I get out and shut the door, all this stuff is still on.
I also have my doors set to automatically lock after I start driving. Problem is, they don't automatically unlock when I am done driving.
So basically my shutdown procedure involves pressing the start button to stop the engine; pressing it again to stop the radio; then pressing the central door lock/unlock button so I can open my door. If I don't do this, then I have to use the door handle twice; once to unlock the door, and a second time to open it. havign to routinely press three buttons seems unnecessarily complex for shutting down the car and exiting it.
Am I missing something, or is ending your drive with the X1 really this complicated? Are the doors supposed to unlock when you've shut everything down? On my other cars, shutting down / unlocking / exiting the vehicle is decidedly simple (only one button press - which stops the car, shuts off radio/etc upon door opening, and unlocks doors) and doesn't require a "checklist." Anything I can do to simplify this at all?

[FINANCIALWIRES] Women Take Action on Advice
Americans Adopting New Mindset for Funding Retirement bitly.com/QRFundingRetirement
This might help us understand why men and women often fight of women over asking for directions. Women are more likely to follow take action on advice, at least when it comes to the financial kind. financial advice According to a TIAA-CREF survey, nearly 90 percent of women take some action after receiving advice, such as saving more or rebalancing retirement portfolios. Another healthy response is decreasing spending after getting advice; 61 percent of women dialed it down vs. 50 percent of men. But women and men are having trouble finding good financial advice in the first place. One in five Americans said they can't find relevant guidance. About half of the people didn't know where to look for an advisor and three quarters don't know who to trust. Looks like advisors are missing a whole lot of eager prospects out there.
ICI Updates the Wobbly Stool
The Investment Company Institute wants the public to know that the end of the pension era does not mean a slippery slope to the gutter. According to ICI's report, "The Success of the U.S. Retirement Market," fears have been overblown about the shift from defined benefit pensions to defined contribution plans. The institute pointed out that assets earmarked for retirement were nearly three times larger in mid-2012 than in 1985 for households and that poverty among people aged 65 or older has fallen from nearly 30 percent in the mid-1960s to 9 percent in 2011. That would be the same period when traditional pensions went the way of Wally and The Beav. Another point made by the report said that instead of looking at the usual three-legged stool (Social Security, pensions and savings), consider a pyramid. That would have five layers: Social Security, homeownership, employer-sponsored retirement plans (defined benefit and defined contribution), individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and other personal savings. That seems more secure than the stool but it looks like a food pyramid and all we can think about is the chocolate on top. Hmm, maybe that's the point. DID YOU
SEC's Schapiro Resigns
Mary Schapiro has had a rough ride as the chairwoman of the Securities and Mary Schapiro Exchange Commission, so it probably was to no one's surprise that she got off that Tilt-A-Whirl. When she was appointed in January 2009, she inherited an ailing regulatory body that was suffering from the fallout following the Bernie Madoff arrest and, of course, the financial collapse. The former FINRA chairwoman pursued changes at the SEC but fell short of filling in all the details of the framework created by Dodd-Frank financial reform. Many observers said Schapiro made the SEC a stronger agency, but not according to a lawsuit filed a few days before Schapiro announced her resignation. In that suit, former Assistant Inspector General David Weber said the agency retaliated against his whistleblowing. He had complained that the agency was racked with conflicts of interest, incompetency and sexual misconduct. SEC Commissioner Elisse Walter is running the agency until a permanent replacement is named.
NAPFA's CFP Requirement Causes Stir
The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors' (NAPFA) announcement that

it would require the CFP designation to be a NAPFA-registered planner set off some arguments about designations. NAPFA said it wanted to cut through the clutter of designations to boost consumer confidence, but it caused some critics to express a lack of confidence in the CFP designation, administered by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. The most significant critic has been The American College, which also issues designations, calling the NAPHA move a monopoly of designations. Others have criticized that the CFP administrators have not moved strongly enough to adopt a fiduciary standard of conduct in all investment advising, which would be allowed by Dodd-Frank legislation but has not been defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. CFP administrators have said they require all advisors to act in the interest of their clients and for advisors to follow the fiduciary standard in financial planning.
Best Companies: Strong Culture, Sweet Perks
What makes an investment company a good place to work? It's a strong culture, positive work environment, high employee engagement and good benefits. That's according to Pension & Investments, an international newspaper that ranks best places to work. The top five big companies (more than 1,000 employees) were: The Principal Financial Group, Diversified, Bridgewater Associates, SEI and Invesco. From 100 to 1,000: Hamilton Lane Advisors, Clearbridge Advisors, AEW Capital Management, William Blair & Co. and Western Asset Management. Less than 100: Robert W. Baird & Co., Balentine, Modera Wealth Management, Perkins Investment Management and Dana Investment Advisors. Employees said they valued career advancement more than perks, but some of the extras are pretty sweet: Eight companies provide free or subsidized meals and one provides free snacks and beverages around the clock; 10 have fitness facilities or memberships; 10 offer company-paid parking; and four have on-site recreational amenities like basketball courts.

Seized Motor Trane XE 70
I have a Trane XE 70. When it was time for the fan to kick on the motor would seize, making a loud humming noise, and in turn the fan would not rotate. I lubed the shaft and then the fan was able to rotate. But, then it would seize again. Now I am not getting any noise or rotation. Do I need to replace the motor or is the any other alternatives? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Could be you fried the motor completely now. But check the capacitor just to be sure. It just might need a new capacitor only, but chances are the motor is gone.
Try the cap and see what that does.
Just curious, how often do you change filters?
Hvaclover Trane XE 70 Seized Motor
I took a capacitor off of another Trane XE 70 that works and I still had the same result. So, you think I need a new motor?
And I change the filter about once a month.
Where'd find the other Trane. I have an idea but i would just like to hear it from you.
But for farts and giggles why don't you check the voltage to the motor just to be safe before you buy a new one.
If you spin the motor by hand and it makes noise or is hard to turn my guess would be that your motor is fried.
if the capacitor is the same size(mfd) rating and it was on a known good motor than its motor time should be in the 50 to 65 dollaar range
Hvaclover Trane XE 70
To your question where I found another Trane. I have a small apartment complex and there two Trane's right next to eachother. Since they are right next to eachother should I put the blower from the one that works in the other one to make sure that it is the motor?
I will admit. I am a newbie at this.
If you had to oil the motor to get it to work.
It most likely either permanently opened the internal over load, or fried a winding.
Pulling a motor from the other unit, is just more labor then needed, for the same end result.
If the fan is still easily movable and it doesn't operate- replace the start capacitor with a new one. If no good results.
Replace the motor.
Since when do PSC motors use start caps? A start cap is used on a high starting torque split phase motor that have to start under a load.
That means the start cap only stays energized long enough to get the motor rolling and he relay drops out the start cap (or the star cap would blow) as the run winding takes over running the motor.
A PSC motor uses a RUN cap which stays energized all the time the motor runs and it also keeps the start winding in the circuit along with the run winding to make the motor more efficient, and the cap causes a phase shift in the current that stops the windings from burning up as they run at the same time.
A PSC motor is actually an open-delta 3 phase motor that's designed to run on single phase power. It has two windings, both stay energized continuously. The capacitor causes a phase shift between the two windings to simulate 3 phase power.
This is why a PSC motor has very low starting torque, but very high efficiency.
You can 'make' a PSC motor out of any 3 phase motor and a static-type phase converter. It's the same principal, and operates the same way. Low starting torque, high efficiency.
A capacitor-start single phase motor is completely different. The starting capacitor causes a phase shift in the start winding, but is cut out of the circuit when the motor is at about 1/2 speed. In this case, the capacitor and the start winding team up to cause high starting torque, but they don't have any effect on efficiency. Some capacitor start motors are also capacitor run. These are the best of both worlds, the start capacitor provides high starting torque, and the run capacitor provides high efficiency. The only place you'll find this type of motor in a HVAC system is the refrigeration compressor, not the blower or fan.
In a PSC motor, if the shaft spins freely by hand, and you have a known good capacitor, and the voltage is close to what's stated on the nameplate, and it still doesn't run, there are only two other possibilities I can think of.
The first is that one or both of the windings are burnt up.
The other is that the bearings are so sloppy that the rotor isn't centered in the stator. This will cause it to hum, and try to turn, but it can't because it is fighting against itself.
Sometimes you can replace bearings, sometimes not. If there is the slightest evidence that the rotor has made contact with the stator, the motor is destroyed.
Thank you for the feedback. I installed a new motor and she is running great. Thanks again.
I do have another furnace issue. I have an older gas furnace and the pilot light will not stay lit. I replaced the thermocouple and that did not work. Any suggestions. I am a rookie when it comes to furnaces.
Sounds like a weak operator in the valve. Means a new valve.

- About Plattsburgh
The use of animal subjects in scientific and educational activities is governed by professional standards of ethical conduct as well as by federal and state regulations, which reflect the general concerns of society.
New York State law mandates the establishment of an institutional animal care committee which shall be responsible for evaluating the care of all animals held for research, teaching, or other activities by the State University of New York or by other resources under College auspices. An animal care committee is required also by National Institute of Health policy and recommended by the Animal Welfare Act and the American Association for Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care. The National Institute of Health requires review of research protocols by the institutional animal care committee prior to submission of a grant application.
Plattsburgh State University is committed to humane care of laboratory animals in carrying out its research and training activities. To insure that its concern be implemented and, further, to insure its compliance with professional, state and federal regulations and requirements for animal use, it has established an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) to be responsible for development and implementation of policies and procedures which will allow the College to fulfill these responsibilities and commitments.
The IACUC shall serve as the advocate for the welfare of the animal subjects under study at this institution while representing and protecting the interests of the respective investigators and educators who use animals at this College.
The charge to this committee is to develop policies and procedures for the College faculty and staff for:
Evaluate applications for use of animals in research and teaching under categories D and E of Biomedical Experiments and review annual updating of animal use applications submitted by investigators for the ethical guidelines listed above and the humane care and treatment according to procedures listed below.
The Committee is empowered to make on-site inspections and recommend suspension of any project using animals operating within the institution. In addition the IACUC, through its chairperson, has the authority to take action during emergency situations in order to promptly rectify unacceptable conditions.
The Committee has the authority to review and approve or disapprove all projects involving the use of animals in research or education. The chairperson has the responsibility to assign and made recommendations on matters of committee business to the appropriate subcommittees. The chairperson also has the authority to act as spokesperson for the IACUC.
The Committee will meet at least once each quarter of the calendar year to fulfill its responsibilities. Specific functions will be carried out by the subcommittees to be appointed by the chairperson of the IACUC. Each subcommittee will be composed of at least three individuals, and the subcommittee's titles are as follows:
In order to expedite the appropriate review and approval of animal use, each individual contemplating initiation of a project involving animals must adhere to the following:

Niskanen says he'd like to stay in Pittsburgh for long haul
Defenseman Matt Niskanen doesn't want to go anywhere. In fact, if the Penguins want to talk business, he's all ears.
Niskanen, whom many expected to be traded in a salary move this summer, has been an important figure in the team's 6-1-0 start and made it clear Friday he wants to stay with the Penguins.
"Absolutely I do," he said. "I'm not going to bring it up with them. I don't think that's my place. But if they would come to me at some point down the road, I would have a lot of interest in staying here."
Niskanen is in the final season of a two-year contract that pays him $2.3 million annually.
General manager Ray Shero, whose preference is to not negotiate contracts during the season, declined to comment.
Niskanen, 26, is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, and signing him to a long-term deal could be difficult for the Penguins, who have approximately $18 million in salary locked into the blue line next season. The organization also has a wealth of defensive prospects in Olli Maatta, Simon Despres, Derrick Pouliot, Scott Harrington and Brian Dumoulin — all of whom are or are close to being NHL-ready.
Niskanen, however, hinted strongly that he would consider staying in Pittsburgh for less money than he could receive on the open market.
"It obviously depends on a lot of things," Niskanen said. "But I will say that I put a big emphasis on winning. And this is a good place to be for that."
Niskanen, a slick puck-moving defenseman who can play the left or right side, could command significant money on the open market.
He largely credits assistant coach Todd Reirden with resurrecting his career after a streaky start in Dallas. He also makes it no secret that he loves the Penguins and Pittsburgh.
"I know I'm not going to get anything like Tanger's deal," Niskanen said with a smile, referring to Kris Letang's eight-year, $58 million extension signed in July. "I realize that. I think there is a lot to be said for staying put in a place that you like and in a place that likes you. I love it here, and the fact that this is a good team that wants to win adds a lot of value to the decision when the time comes."
Through the season's first two weeks, only two NHL defensemen have produced more points than Niskanen's six. He leads the NHL with a plus-10 mark, and he and defenseman Rob Scuderi have formed a strong pairing.
Niskanen has been more influential in the offensive zone than in years past, firing one-timers at will. He scored the game-winning goal on a one-timer against Tampa Bay last Saturday.
Reirden recently said Niskanen may have been the Penguins' best defenseman in training camp. Coach Dan Bylsma also offered glowing praise of the former first-round pick.
"(Plus-minus) can be a deceiving stat," Bylsma said. "But plus-10 jumps off the page as a player playing some great hockey through seven games. Matt's been great. His numbers are pretty gaudy right now."
"I definitely feel good about the way I'm playing right now," Niskanen said. "And I'm definitely where I want to be."

Technical Abstract: Carrot is among the top-ten most economically important vegetable crops in the world, in terms of both area of production and market value. The development of cultivars adapted for cultivation in both summer and winter seasons on all continents has allowed a year-round availability of carrot products with relatively stable prices to consumers. Some production areas harvest crops year-round. Carrot improvement today includes several academic and government research programs around the world that work in concert with local, regional, and global industries. Both grower and consumer needs are addressed by public and private carrot breeders that incorporate modern technologies into the classical breeding process. The genetic improvement of carrot has been an ongoing effort throughout its cultivation and domestication. Before the 20th century, carrot production was small-scale in family or community gardens. The first carrots were separated into two groups based upon root color: purple and yellow. With the development of orange carrots in the west, shape and size also became distinguishing characteristics of carrot types, starting with the description of "Long Orange" and shorter "Horn" types in the 16th century. In the 20th century there was a significant emphasis on first discovering a CMS system for carrot and then applying that system to develop carrot as a hybrid crop. The uniformity typical of hybrids that is so desirable for growers is usually very evident when two fairly inbred and unrelated inbreds are intercrossed, but less hybrid vigor and uniformity may be observed upon intercrossing less inbred individuals. Genetics of carrot typically follows diploid inheritance patterns, but relatively little effort has been devoted to carrot genetics. The inheritance of male sterility was described, and the male fertile, petaloid, and brown anther mitochondrial genomes have also been characterized. QTL have been mapped for carrot total carotenoids and five component carotenoids; phytoene, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, zeta-carotene, and lycopene . Marker-assisted selection has been reported for two genes: Mj – 1 and Rs As the genetics of important complex traits become described, markers to more efficiently select them will warrant development. An international collaborative effort to establish robust genomic platforms (e.g. mapping populations, expression sequence tags, subtractive and large-insert libraries, allele mining, large-scale sequencing banks and expression arrays) for carrot and other Apiaceae would greatly facilitate the identification of molecular markers and discovery of genes associated with traits of breeding interest.

I didn't think this could get any better, then I wake up and read another couple pages...
and can we clear something up?
IF it was agreed that he was to pay "X" amount before the 19th, HOW then can he be late on payments if he had all the money there (yes I know minus the fees) by the 19th?
just curious.

Hey Zuk aren't you going into the military soon? I think i saw you say something about it a while back. Maybe they will teach you some god damn decency, I know its to late for your dad. There still might be hope for you though.
If you guys paid the hillbilly then that is awesome, but attempting to steal money from somebody is not cool at all. People get the shit knocked out of them for that all the time.

I just read this whole thread... I have a few things to say and Im not pointing fingers etc...
A deal was made... there was no fuss about the deal til the end. Therefore all parties seemed to be in agreement.
Hillbilly makes a post actually asking how this should be handled.
That was basically the only post made by him til 1badzuk just starts spouting off accusations without any proof, and not just one many. The more you spoke the more you dug yourself a hole as bascially everything you stated was proven to be a lie. You would think with your dad's history.. and with a public record its not just heresay... you would have thought twice about defending him without first getting the facts. Seems you could have just asked hillbilly for proof of the transactions before making yourself look like an ass.
I am glad you guys were able to come to an agreement and hopefully it gets resolved...
Your dad is lucky hillbilly is taking the legal route unlike some of these rednecks on here.. especially with your father having identifying marks public...

zuke did not steal the money or sell the truck out from under the guy. Zuke also looked to us for advice when this deal started to go sour about a month ago.
Stop busting this poor guy's balls. He was only the liaison in the deal and appears to be trying to work things out. Dad fucked hillbilly but you can't expect Zuke to pay the money back.

im going to throw my .02 in here. i have known 1badzuk(dan) and his dad for about a year now. dan is a hell of a stand up guy. i trust dan 100%, now his dad on the other hand is a different story. i like mike, he is a nice guy and very entertaining i might add, but i wouldnt do a payment deal with him! it is obvious he has had a head injury and is just a little bit off! i am not saying any of this is right, im not saying who was right and who was wrong, i just hate seeing dans name getting bashed on a deal that his dad did! when dan said he will make sure the money gets paid back that means that the money will get paid back, that is how he is. if dans dad had the money right now dan would make sure he sent it but he doesnt have it! hell if i had the extra money right now i would loan it to dan to settle this because i know i would get it back!

"whatever you have going is between you and my father, let me pm you with his number, or get you guys to talk and work it out"
What Zuk did was attack the hillbilly instead.
I just call it like i see it.

If you've got the time and patience and possibly money, buy a foreclosed house and rehab it. We bought a house for $153,000 finished the basement correctly (the previous owner did it wrong) and recarpeted the whole house, and repainted the whole house and now my parents reside in a house that appraises for $220,000.

i'll tell you what you probably already know. put as much down as you can and find a place that your payment will not exceed 40% of your net monthly pay. i didn't follow this but have since learned this information. good luck!

Depending on where you want to live you can buy for 50k and less. Also as stated not to exceed your payment to more than 30 to 40 % of your income. Be smart with your money.
Also google Dave Ramsey, finacial peace university.

Good luck with your new home and save all you can.

PMI: if you don't have 20% down/own 20% equity in your house they will attach a PMI to your mortgage. WATCH THE FINE PRINT ON THIS SHIT! many will leave the PMI on there for the term of the mortgage. Make sure it is in there that you are allowed to terminate the PMI (if this applies to you) with a refinance once you gain 20% equity in the house. We had 19% down and had the PMI on the original mortgage. I refinanced after 3 months and had that removed.
negotiate the % that the agents are taking, get those as low as you can, don't be afraid to play hardball. it's a buyers market right now.
if you offer something on a house set the highest amount you are willing to go and if it turns into a bartering tennis match and they keep going past your highest amount walk. there will be another house around the corner. I say this because with a house comes unexpected repairs and being house poor is only going to leave you with buyers remorse.
never put an offer in after the first walk through. if you find something you like and want to put an offer in on it, schedule 1 or 2 more walk throughs a week or so apart. this will ground you back to reality and hopefully you putting in too high a bid based on first sight emotion.
Look at things in homes you walk through realistically. the chances the previous owner did everything the way YOU wanted are slim to none. deduct amounts off price based on fact, not on personal preference.
when you close make sure you have the mortgage company gets you the final amount you need to bring to closing at least 2 days prior to closing so that you can review the documents and take your time getting the closing check. Tell them that if you don't have the numbers and paperwork preview 2 days before you will not be closing. period. don't let them push you around you are THEIR customer. twice I received a call with everyone there and them asking me why i wasn't at the closing? I told them I requested the amount 2 days before along with the paperwork and terms so that I could review it. you did not do that and called me 1 hour before closing with the amount. too bad I said, we'll reschedule and if you can manage not to fukc that one up we'll close on the new date".

Be sure you get a really good inspector, that has a lot of attention to detail.
Home warranties can be kind of cool, if you buy a place with older appliances or utilities. Should be really easy to negotiate as seller concessions (if not a foreclosure).
Take the new home credit, also might as well start saving to get the energy savings credit (buy new windows, furnace, insulation, etc...).

House payment should not exceed 25% of your take home pay. No less than 20% down payment and 15 year mortgage. I'm not picking on any one but a lot of people would be in better shape if they would follow these standards. The faster you can pay off bills the faster you can start using money to make money.

When you think you have found the house you want. Have a famliy member and a friend do a walk through with you at seperate times. Theywill find things that you are over looking everytime. It will help you to see past theexcitement. Then you can submit your bid on the house. When i bought my house i offered 59k less than they were asking. They Laughed at me at the time . But i endedup getting it for 51k less than they were asking for it 2 weeks later so it never hurts to lowball the seller.

1. See if you qualify for MSHDA loans, down payment assistance, etc. With the MSHDA SF-DPA (single family down payment assistance) loan and the Obama 8k, I ended up with $13,900 off the cost of my house. The only caveat is that I have to pay back $5900 of that money at either refinance, sale, or pay-in-full of the house.
2. Find a real estate agent and a mortgage agent you trust. Mine were fantastic and answered all of my questions, staying patient even when I was being a pain in the ass.
3. Don't be afraid to do your own research and to mention it to your mortgage agent/ realtor. Things like looking up the ownership history of the house, tax assessment, insurance rates, etc. Pay special attention to those line items on the HUD1 (good faith estimate).
4. Keep looking, even after you've found your "dream home". Offers get rejected, sales fall through, etc... no point in stopping your search until it's time to start closing.
5. Talk to the neighbors, if you can. They'll tell you more about the area or about the home's history than a realtor will. Ours told us that the entire sewer system out to the main had been replaced recently because of root invasion, so that's one less thing to worry about. The realtor didn't have any idea about that.
Good luck, congrats. It's pretty awesome to walk into your own house.

Pay cash if possible.
I'm serious.
With the housing market in Michigan, it's possible to buy a foreclosure home for what the down payment on that home was a few years ago. Once the house is yours, you can get a home improvement loan to fix what's wrong with it.
Oh, and EVERY house has something wrong with it, even if it's only the color scheme.

Medically necessary, HUGE DIASTASIS RECTI tear of my core after having two babies, I ripped through 7-8 layers and like 6" wide, like 9-10" long opening in my small-waisted, small frame, and had huge babies. I was in massive all over pain for a year before surgery, could hardly get out of bed, looked 7 mos pregnant and physical therapy made it worse, even she agreed, she'd never seen such a HUGE Diastasis recti.
Many surgeons don't understand it, but a painful surgery would be my only option to repair the pain. Of course the clueless insurance companies owned by idiots who have never had babies have no idea about DR and always fighting for coverage of very necessary surgery.

Introducing The Smart Grid Security Market Overview
Posted by Usman Sindhu on August 23, 2010
- 427 Recommendations
- 3 comments
Security in the Smart Grid ecosystem is getting more attention by the day. Although many of the traditional security measures are applicable to the Smart Grid environment, there's a need for the specific tools to handle emerging security vulnerabilities. This Market Overview will focus on the security vendors in the Smart Grid space. The role of security is evolving gradually in the Smart Grid ecosystem, and therefore our utility as well as non-utility customers are asking about vendors that can provide secure solutions.
The Smart Grid IT market is still emerging and security seems to be a promising component of it. We see four vendor categories when it comes to security market:
- Traditional IT vendors — They embed security functionality in their IT infrastructure such as communication, networking, servers, and middleware gear, as it's expected of these solutions. They may or may not have specific security tools that help with Smart Grid deployments. But many of them are introducing new products and services gradually. Example vendors are Cisco, Alcatel Lucent, Sprint, ATT, Verizon, Oracle, IBM, Alvarion, Motorola, HP, and others.
- Specialized IT vendors — They are focused either on the critical infrastructure industry such as utilities or just Smart Grid. These vendors have emerged to provide custom solutions for Smart Grid ecosystem and embed security features in their products. Example vendors are Trilliant, Silver Spring Networks, SmartSynch, Itron, eMeter, Siemens, GE, and others.
- Consulting services — They help utilities with initial planning, architecture, and technology integration. They can also help utilities with systems development. There are well established IT service integrators and consulting services as well as specialized vendors. Example vendors are Accenture, EnerNex, IBM, SAP, Oracle, PwC, and others.
- Point security vendors — These are traditional as well as utility focused security vendors that have offerings for Smart Grid ecosystem. This is an emerging area, and we expect vendors to pick up in this space. Example vendors are McAfee, Symantec, SafeNet, SecureWorks, Industrial Defender, Secure Crossing, and others.
Understanding security offerings can be a daunting task since there is no shortage of vendors supplying solutions in the Smart Grid space. Hence, this Market Overview will aim to ease the complexity and analyze the market scope.
Some of the criteria that are included in this Market Overview are:
Which of the following areas below do you offer security solutions for?
Home Area Network
Utility Operations Network (back office, middleware, backend systems)
Wide Area Network
Field Area Network
Is your solution offered as a managed service?
Do you have a formal risk assessment offering?
Do you perform penetration testing on Smart Grid and metering components?
Do you provide vulnerability assessment and management tools?
Do you offer threat and risk analysis tools?
What data protection features does your solution offer?
Data Encryption (Smart meters to collectors, collectors to backhaul, Backhaul to utility operations)
Different cryptographic techniques and encryption levels
Key Management
Certification management
Rights management
Encrypted data storage (backup etc.)
Do you provide secure communication tunnels (SSL, IPSec)?
Do you offer device authentication and monitoring?
Do you provide secure procedures for meter firmware upgrade?
This is only a partial list of questions; you can find much more information when the market overview is published. In the meantime, we would like to hear your thoughts. What would you like to know about the Smart Grid market? If you're a utility or involved in the Smart Grid project, you can also participate by taking a short survey here:
Looking forward to your participation. . .

Happy Bride Who Had No Scar on Her Wedding Day!! - Baltimore, MD
I came to Dr. Rodriguez because I had a scar on my top right shoulder from a cancer surgery 8 years ago where they placed the port-a-catheter. Because the surgery was done by radiologists who aren't exactly concerned with making a "pretty scar", I was really unhappy for many years with this large and very visible scar on my shoulder. So, in light of my upcoming wedding, I decided to get scar... READ MORE

There is knitwear, and then there is knitwear. By this I mean there are scratchy, bobbly, throw-it-on-when-you've-run-out-of-milk jumpers, and then there's the sort of jumpers that just feel … different. Like a hug from your favourite auntie; like holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate when you're so cold you can't feel your fingers; like crawling back into your duvet and never coming out again — the warmth, safety and reassuring nature of such a garment is simply unsurpassable.
But until now, the humble Christmas jumper has never quite fitted into this latter category. Ridiculed as the cashmere clan's immature and slightly embarrassing younger cousin, the novelty knit is pulled out once a year before being hurriedly stashed away a mere 18 hours later. Poor thing. When, oh when, will it get the love and appreciation it deserves? Well, this year as it happens.
Receiving full backing from some of the fashion industry's most powerful players, designers are getting their knitting needles out to offer us the crème de la crème of festive knits. Available exclusively at Net-A-Porter, the crop of novelty knits' sole mission is to be as loud and as proud as woollily possible and really stick it to all those smug, un-Christmassy navy jumpers hanging in every single one of our wardrobes.
And one thing is for certain — designers have had a lot of fun in the process. Eclectic design duo Meadham Kirchhoff's Santa-red sweater covered in glittering baubles was inspired by the Sixties gift paper that Benjamin (Kirchhoff) wrapped Edward (Meadham's) presents in last year — "ahhhhh" — while Moschino has transformed a peanut into a reindeer with the addition of some felt antlers, button eyes and pom-pom ears.
But it appears to be an entirely more refined affair in the Phillip Lim and Erdem households, with Lim offering up a picture-perfect white Christmas jumper decorated with embellished silver snowflakes, and Erdem livening up a classic dark blue pullover with a firey Fair Isle and pretty lace collar. Et voilà! Instant festive cheer. All you need now is a leather mini, ankle boots and a mouth full of mince pie. But of course, designer is as designer does, and with prices sailing up to the £1,000 mark, these jumpers are certainly not just for Christmas.
Then again, opening your stocking on Christmas Day is all well and good. But when you're opening it wearing a fabulous fluorescent reindeer sweater by Stella McCartney, then really who even cares what you're opening?

Have you ever done something you weren't sure you should? Okay, hit the pause button. That's a bit of a dumb question, because…well, I imagine everyone has leapt into a situation then said, "Oh, crap. What did I just do?" But whatever. Let's just go with it for a minute and ignore the blantant duh factor. Why? I did something a while back that I wasn't convinced I should do.
"Go on," my friend said.
"Oh, I dunno," I replied, uncertain, a little queasy at the thought.
She huffed. "Stop being such a pansy, for heaven's sake, and take a chance!"
All right, granted…my friend doesn't mince words. Or have any patience for vacilators. Normally, I'm the same, but when it came to entering Fury of Fire (my debut novel) in a published authors contest, I have to say, my courage departed for places unknown.
Why? It's hard to say. Perhaps because there are so many talented authors out there writing fabulous stories. Maybe I contracted the bock-bock gene somewhere along the way. All I know is she suggested. I cringed. She shoved, and I folded like a dirty shirt, threw my hands in the air and said "All right!" just to shut her up.
Well as it turns out, she was right. I was…ahem…wrong. And boy, am I ever glad that I was, and that my friend bullied me into taking the leap of faith. She is clearly a much wiser person than I, because…
Fury of Fire (A Dragonfury Novel, book 1) is a double nominee in the NJRW 2012 Golden Leaf contest in the Best Paranormal and Best First Book categories. So completely fabulous! The winners will be announced at the Put Your Heart in a Book Conference on October 12th, and I couldn't be more excited to be counted among such wonderful finalists.
I guess that just goes to show when you take a chance and put yourself out there, good things happen. Clearly, I owe my friend a nice bottle of wine. Oh, and maybe a box of fancy truffles too (which, of course, I will help her eat. Fair's fair, after all).

The Eligibility Paradox
Please use this identifier to cite or link to this item: http://hdl.handle.net/1928/20484
The Eligibility Paradox
Mathewson, Alfred
This article examines the fundamental concept of uniform academic eligibility standards for college athletes. It argues that the NCAA is an organization governed by the principle of athletics primacy rather than the educational primacy of its members. The unintended result has been the creation of an eligibility paradox. Uniform rules intended to enhance academic goals inherently suppress the value of the educational opportunity paid to student-athletes in exchange for their athletic participation. The article further argues that separating the concept of academic eligibility from athletic eligibility and transforming the former into one of compensation through academic achievement will best maximize the value of an educational opportunity. Such a reform may lead to the development of modifications to amateur eligibility including the permissibility of payments to student-athletes for the use of their names and images by universities, and perhaps, the signing of contracts with professional sports teams without losing athletic eligibility for intercollegiate athletics. It is time to adapt the dinosaur of NCAA intercollegiate athletics to modern realities.

I had a TCA 20% peel done about 2 weeks ago. The doctor had me used a Petroleum based ointment for 5 days and then a hydrocortisone 1% ointment for the next 7 days. I'm not using anything now. I have red patches on my cheeks after the peel where he had put more of the TCA.
The doctor is suggesting now that I do the laser genesis to get rid of the red patches. Is this a good idea? I'm concern that the red patches will not go away. How long should you wait to use it after a TCA 20% chemical peel? How often should you have it done?
Please help. Thank you.

Ticking Noise from Gauge Cluster
Hello ladies & gents, upon turning on my heater (when car is above the blue mark, just getting up to operating temp) I hear a total of ten quiet ticks coming from below my instrument cluster. It sounds like a clock. Coincidentally, they sound like they are exactly one second apart. It will click ten times, and then I will not hear it again.
Once the car is warmed up, and I turn off the heat and turn it back on, it might only tick three to five times. Does anyone else have this mysterious sound, and is it normal? I'd really like to know what it is :dunno:
something in the floor vents? their under your dash turn off floor vents and see if this happens?
Thread from the dead!
I had a revelation when reading this DIY article: http://www.bmwe34.net/E34main/Mainte...eaterValve.htm that my heater valve solenoid was what is making the ticking sound... I can finally rest (after 2.5 years :rofl:)
IT could also be a broken climate control flap mount.
Fix is on shoguns tips and tricks website.

Good used book store. Frequent events. I've seen everything from book signings to reptile displays. Free wifi. For sale are movies, CDs, decorations, video games, musical instruments, board games, puzzles, and I think they have a used book or two there also...
Best prices for cards. Fun atmosphere. Also, one of the top rated judges presides over the events. Good people. Good times.
I came to this place of Love & Oneness almost a year ago. Since then I have met the most loving group of friends i could ever imagine. For me it`s like Heaven on Earth. We are family in a way i never could have understood before. The energy we share uplifts, heals, loves & support`s us all as we are spiritual beings. In these human bodies it`s easy to forget about our spiritual energy. Tamara brings the best of this energy out.. you can`t help but feel it when you walk into the door. It has been actively serving the Healing & Spiritual need`s of those seeking it for over 30 years now. Namaste <3Debra Butler
A truly fun experience with a very knowledgeable store keeper. Carries a variety of local and regional sauces, syrups, honeys and jellies that are not easily found elsewhere.
This palce sucks! Terrible instruction, over-priced, dirty studio, no hot water, no consistant schedule, unqualified instructors...poorly run.
Don't go here.
Only decent grocery store in Tucson. Terrific produce selection and quality, best butcher case and the ONLY place left in town to buy seafood. With the typical Tucsonan's taste for chain restaurants, it's hard to believe they stay in business.
Wow! I don't know what the first reviewer is talking about. Sounds like a punk to me. I have only recently started doing business with Magic Tower with the release of Innistrad. The owner (I think his name is Matt) has always been very helpful and informative. I have learned a lot about MTG from him. I have found him to be generous in his dealings and he offers excellent prices. He is always inviting me to come to the store and play, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I am on my way over there today to see if I can still get in on the pre-order for Dark Ascension. I have recommended Magic Tower to my friends and will continue to do so.
I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about. The owner is outgoing, welcoming and his store is very clean and professional.
I am 100% sure his review is only one side of a story where he was being an asshole to the owner. The customer does not have the right to be an asshole to a store clerk or store owner.
The worst ever! Unprofessional, sloppy stylists working in a dirty salon with an owner that will fabricate/lie about the work of her stylists if a complaint is made. Not even remotely customer service oriented. Jerica did a horrible job coloring my hair and even though she used foils for color, left a 1/8 or my original hair color showing. I wrote a review for their Oracle location immediately after my tie dye hair job and it has since mysteriously disappeared along with the listing for that location. I don't generally complain and am busy person. When I did complain to the owner about my experience there, she lied about her stylists actions and her observations. A stylist can have years of experience and still do a crappy job, especially if they spend the majority of the appointment time talking to the stylist next to them who happened to be the owner. No wonder they do bad work if the owner has such low standards about doing their own client and feels free to discuss other co-workers in front of clients. I felt so horrible and shocked about my experience that I said whatever I had to say to get out there as quickly as possible. I did get the hair color that I as looking for on the first try, from another salon.

I am a little shocked by some of the comments above. I've been going to the gym for almost a year and, as far as being dropped because of lack of adherence to a diet, I've never of heard of anything like that myself in this gym. Jenn has only been patient and supportive as far as diet with me and thrilled with my athletic progress. The owners are not a marketing team, they are trainers. They've always been professional, kind and tough, all at appropriate times. The truth is, if this Crossfit isn't a fit for you, then it's not. The environment I've experienced is awesome. This gym is very welcoming but does not coddle.
This truly is wonderful to see Rainbow Jewelers has been voted to be the Best Jewelry in Tucson because they REALLY ARE. That have been in Tucson so long and they are so honest. I;m glad to see Tucson consumers have voted right. The jewelry they have in the store is so wonderful and unique and high quality. The service is great and you know you are getting fine jewelry, great price along with great customer service. My husband bought so many wonderful gifts from Rainbow over the years. Michael has fixed so many repairs on my jewelry too. His wife is so talented and helps you with your designs too. What a a great couple and a beautiful store. Congrats to you guys!
Best place in Tucson to workout! Amazing staff, very well trained. They make your fitness goals a priority and work hard to help you achieve them. Fun and personable atmosphere, fellow clients are too.
Great store with a variety of antique items and a huge selection of military items: medals, decorations current and from other countries. It's a must see!!
Stay away from this place! We just got billed $543 for a 10 minute visit with the doctor. You know what that $543 got us? A simple "you have a virus and just need to drink lots of water." I kid you not. I paid a doctor over $500 for him to say my wife needs to drink water to alleviate her sore and infected looking throat of over 2 months! My mother works in the hospital as a secretary and was speechless. You can go to the emergency room and get an x-ray cheaper than what these crooks charge! If you need urgent help, go to the hospital emergency room that is only a few blocks away, it will be less than half the price, and they actually have real doctors!

March Madness is Losing Popularity
The truth is that college basketball is losing the attention of most of America. Not you, sports fan who heard Ben Maller say this in live time AND person interested in reading this article, but as far as casual observers go the interest is waning.
Why is this? Ben Maller explained in the audio below. Listen, and be sure to tune into The Ben Maller Show every weekday from 2-6 am est. on Fox Sports Radio.
When the moon comes out, Ben Maller emerges with the most compelling overnights in sports talk radio. One of the original sports bloggers, Maller brings his token sarcasm, informative insight and stimulating opinions to sports fans each evening, while taking calls from listeners nationwide.
About The Host
Ben Maller is host of FOX Sports Radio's Ben Maller Show. Launched nationally in January 2014, the overnight program broadcasts weekdays from 2 - 6 a.m. ET/11 p.m. - 3 a.m. PT, live from the network's studios in Los Angeles, Calif. One of the original sports bloggers, Maller brings his token trademark sarcasm, informative insight and stimulating opinions to sports fans each evening.
Nicknamed "Big Ben," Maller joined FOX Sports Radio a month after the network's debut in 2000, and served as an update anchor and weekend talk show host for the network until the launch of his overnight show in 2014.
Prior to FOX Sports Radio, Maller worked at KXTA "XTRA Sports 1150" in Los Angeles, Calif., where he hosted the popular midday program Ben & Dave Show, in addition to anchoring the post-game "Dodger Talk" with former longtime voice of the Dodgers, Ross Porter.
Maller has served as an International Correspondent for New Zealand's Premier Sports Station, "Radio Sport," since 2009, and previously worked as a television sports pundit at NBC Sports Network in Stamford, Conn., in addition to guest-hosting a number of local sports radio shows in Boston, Mass., Denver, Colo. and Anaheim, Calif. He began his career as a radio reporter for "XTRA Sports 690," the 77,000-watt all-Sports blowtorch signal in San Diego, Calif. (XETRA).
Aside from his radio and television assignments, Maller enjoyed a successful career as a provocative sports blogger, launching sports news and gossip website BenMaller.com before writing nationally for FoxSports.com and Yahoo Sports (Postgame.com).
Outside of work, Maller has inspired many with his ongoing, successful battle against obesity, losing more than 200 pounds naturally by changing his diet and fitness routine.

Re: power spectrum
Power spectrum is defined as the Fourier transform of the

How often do you switch your mags out? I unload my mags at the first of the month, so the springs can relax and load different mags for that month. I have my mags marked with ones and twos. The ones I carry on odd months and the twos on even months.

From previos post it's my understanding that mags do not need to "relax", they will only compress so far and it is of no harm to leave a mag fully loaded for long periods of time. However, I usually swith my carry mag every time I go to the range. My 2 cents
Less often than I used to because of this forum mainly, and a search for the truth. I used to load 'em two shy of full, and change them every month unofficially. I had also been known to open them up (release floor plate and let the spring out of the bag) to 'rejuevenate'. After all is said and done, I now keep my mags to full capacity, and I'll change them out whenever I get the urge or think about it, or have problems. I stock a full line of replacement parts for my Glock magazines anyway.
I have 2 mags full at all times with defense ammo. I've got 3 others empty.Every 2-3 weeks when I shoot, I empty them and fill all my mags with target rounds, shoot em up ( a time or two), then fill 2 again ( at random) with defense rounds and start the cycle again.
I don't worry about them staying loaded...
Almost never; at the very least when I change carry guns. Why, do you ask? Because I never bought into the hysteria regarding the "mag spring fatigue" thing. Years ago, when I shot guns in IPSC I watched guys around me spend hundreds of dollars on every kind of mag spring ever made, and ten of them. They also paid thousands of dollars for high-cap mag tubes, because the ones they had "only lasted so long". I still have the same hard chromed 126mm tubes I used in my raceguns in 1994 that were set up by Benny Hill at STI, then chromed by Virgil Tripp. They now carry ammo for the STI 9x23 carry gun I use sometimes, and compete with in .38super from time to time. How many rounds have they carried? at least 100,000 that i can think of during my time in IPSC maybe more. have they ever failed me? nope, not once. the springs I use? ISMI rocket wire, and yes, they are ALL original. they simply get cleaned and maintained just like the rest of the gun. My other mags get treated the same way, just regular maintenance when they hit the dirt or get used, nothing more. Believe me, the change your mag to let the springs rest thing is just hysteria, nothing more.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined". - Patrick Henry
There is science behind it. The spring will fatigue, that is not even debatable. Near the end of it's compressive limits it will fatigue faster, no question. The scale of time is our question. Downloading or letting them "relax" can add life, but it might be that you add 20 years to a spring that would've lasted for 100-250 years anyway. Springs have come a long way, but don't think for a minute that all are of the same quality. Buy cheap aftermarket chinese mags and don't be suprised if they fail at a really bad time. They can't even keep lead out of toy for crying out loud. If you must buy them use them for the range only. I highly reccomend sticking with something with the gun manufacturers logo stamped into it if you are betting your life on the mag.

There is science behind it... Springs that are engineered properly and not stressed beyond their static yield strength (which should be impossible in a properly engineered mag) will not fatigue due to static loading.
It is the cyclic loading that fatigues the spring... So, on a small scale... When you are "changing out your mags" you are actually fatiguing them.
In my learning the advice is that double stack springs will fatigue faster than single stack springs and it isn't the compression itself that causes the most fatigue, it's the "cycling" of the spring from compressed to relaxed and so on. I keep my carry mags fully compressed and have for 27 years with various guns. Never had a problem but then again, I change my springs on a regular PM schedule. They are cheap.
For each of my defensive handguns, there are a few loaded mags that stay that way all the time (e.g. for years at a time).
I switch mags fairly regularly, not because of fears of spring damage, but so that I always know that all of my mags are functioning properly.

I wish this myth about relaxing springs would go away. Engineers, spring manufacturers, gun experts say "Taint so," removing rounds to relax the spring in the magazine to prevent wear, accomplishes just the opposite. Doing that just cycles the spring, which according to the experts, is what WILL wear the springs out. If I had a nickle for every time this nefarious myth has appeared in gun forums, I'd be a very rich man.
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence in their behalf. - George Orwell
