NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Chinese export data report for the month of April, released May 8, is being met with skepticism from cross-sections of the market.The data showed that exports rose by roughly 15%, even though product shipments to Europe and the U.S. actually dropped during the month. Another problematic factor is that most of the trade increases are based on a 57% rise in shipments to Hong Kong, in a period which saw a major port worker strike that closed many shipping ports in the region. The questionable strength in these numbers has raised concerns that China is "cooking its books," and reporting its economic data inaccurately. One argument for the apparent discrepancies comes from the idea that export companies are functioning as a conduit for currency speculation. Some estimates show that between 5% and 9% of April's 15% growth in exports can be attributed to activities related to expected changes in the value of the Chinese yuan.
These arguments rest on the idea that exporter companies have found ways to avoid capital restrictions by overstating business activity and sneaking funds back into China in anticipation of rising values in the yuan. Because of this, exporters have an incentive to over-invoice and report transactions as exports when, in fact, they are not exports. If this is the case, it would go far in explaining the questionable export inflation seen in the month of April. Reporting Trade Data There are other factors at work. When dealing with trade data, long lags can be seen in the processing of invoices going in and out of the system. In this way, trade data is similar to cash flow statements rather than income statements. Companies might choose to hold back their invoices if there might be beneficial changes in expected currency values. In many cases, trade data are not a completely accurate snapshot of the reporting period, and this can complicate the validity of the reported numbers. In the longer term, trade data smooth out and more accurate assessments can be made when looking at the historical averages.

A true gem right in the heart of Cannes centre: This spacious, just renovated, 5 bedroom loft is ideally located a short walking distance to the beaches, La Croisette, the Palais des festivals, the lively outdoor Gambetta Market and the vibrancy of Rue d'Antibes and all shops and restaurants.
This warm and cozy, stand alone, small loft building features a large living room with fireplace, fully equipped and spacious kitchen, washer and dryer, 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths and an office on the mezzanine level with complementary WiFi.
The apartment is on a split level layout with skylights throughout. The lower level, featuring a modern living room, equipped with a good audio Visual system, dining area and kitchen, is air conditioned. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also newly renovated. 4 of the 5 bedrooms have twin beds, which can be combined to be doubles. The 5th bedroom, considered the 'Master bedroom' with its own bathroom, has a queen size bed. The Master bedroom is located on the second floor. There is also a brand new pull out queen size couch in the living room.
The unique configuration of this loft makes it a very rare commodity, as it comfortably sleeps 12 and yet is within easy walking distance of the best that Cannes has to offer.
There are also a large selection of restaurants, cafes and bars all within 1-3 minute walk, as well as a bread shop, fruit shop, supermarket, pharmacy and medical professionals.
A short walk to the port will allow you to catch a ferry to St Tropez or Lerins island and an array of local attractions awaits you nearby.
Parking is available 3 blocks away..
We arrived and the loft was beautifully decorated, clean and well maintained. It is very spacious, perfect for a large group of people. You do have to climb 3 levels of stairs to get to the loft, which was not a problem for us, but would have been for my father whom could not make the trip at the last moment due to his health. Plus side, it is the top apartment and no noise from people above moving around. Working with both Cecile, the owner, and Claus, the manager, was enjoyable, as both were very kind and helpful.
The location is just great! Loved the market and bakery right outside the front door, and then there is also a small grocery store and Rue Hoche just on the other side of the market. Great shopping is just a couple of blocks away on Rue d'Antibes and the (sand, not rocks :) beach is a couple blocks further. And no need for a car, because the train station is just a short 5 minutes walk.
I definitely would recommend this comfortable loft to others!
Io e la mia tribù, dieci adulti e due ragazzi, abbiamo deciso di fare un lungo ponte pasquale in Costa Azzurra e la scelta del loft di Cecile è stata veramente una decisione perfetta.
Quando abbiamo parcheggiato davanti al portone eravamo un pò dubbiosi ma quando il gentilissimo Claus è arrivato e ci ha portato su ogni dubbio è sparito.
La zona living è grande e ben sistemata con il soppalco ampiamente sfruttabile, la cucina spaziosa ed ben attrezzata e le fotografie dell'annuncio sono molto inferiori alla realtà.
Le camere da letto e i bagni della zona notte sono comodi e luminosi e la camera "master" con il bagno in "suite" al piano superiore è veramente bellissima.
La Croisette (e la spiaggia) sono veramente a cinque minuti a piedi, il "marchè Gambetta" sotto casa è un valore aggiunto e la rue Meynardier vi aspetta con tutta la sua offerta commerciale.
Brava Cecile e grazie Claus con voi abbiamo un riferimento sicuro se decidiamo di ritornare in "Cotè d' Azur"!!!!
I and my tribe, ten adults and two kids, we decided to make a long Easter bridge on the French Riviera and the choice of Cecile loft was really a perfect decision.
When we parked at the front door we were a little dubious but when the friendly Claus arrived and took us to all doubts disappeared.
The living area is large and well kitted out with widely loft space, the spacious kitchen and well equipped, and the photographs are of much lower than the reality.
The bedrooms and bathrooms of the sleeping area is comfortable and bright and the room "master" with bathroom "suite" on the top floor is really beautiful.
La Croisette (and the beach) are really a five-minute walk, the "marchè Gambetta" close to home is an added value and rue Meynardier awaits you with all its commercial offer.
Brava Cecile, thank Claus.
With you we have a reference point if we decide to return to "Cotè d 'Azur" !!!!
We were seven women on our "ladies" short 4 days holidays in october 2015. I had an excellent contact with the owner – always responding in a very precise way on my e-mails. The apartment is located in the heard of Cannes – you have a small "marche " every day 10 m from the location . 2 parking are available close to the location . The loft is on the 3 rd. floor -5 rooms and very big and nice cuisine with a big table to enjoy the quiet breakfasts and dinners. Exactly as on the photos !Even though we were seven- still having privacy. Claus who was our contact person in Cannes- was very supportive and helpful.
To be strongly recommended !!!

a lovely apartment, very comfortable and the location is fantastic - everything is within a 10 min walk - supermarket, great restaurants, the beach, with a bakery and the Gambetta market on the doorstep. It was 30 degrees every day so the air conditioning was bliss! we were welcomed by Claus who was very helpful through out our stay. (there was 8 of us) It was a pleasure arranging the booking direct with Cecile the owner. Cecile is friendly, professional and very efficient. We would definitely stay again and have no hesitation in recommending the Loft.
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful Cannes apartment. The location was perfect and there was a daily market right outside, selling nice clothing, gifts and food. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
I definitely recommend staying at the loft.
We had a lovely weekend and this kind of house was just what we were looking for. The location is perfect: you couldn't be more central just close to the station (but trains are not a problem, you barely hear them passing) where there is a huge parking area (literally 2 minutes walk from the front door).
The house is exactly as expected from the pictures, and ideal for big groups such as we were (12 people). You fit comfortably and the kitchen is well equipped to cook at home, long table to fit everyone or just a couple of minutes away from the busiest streets in town where all the restaurants, bars and shops are.
The owner and manager were extremely helpful and responsive within maximum 1 day to any email we sent asking for information. We had a chef come for a cooking class and dinner and they liaised with her checking that she had everything she needed (the result was perfect!).
I highly recommend this property for anyone who wishes to have a relaxing holiday in the lovely little town of Cannes. You can be car-free or easily grab the car for a little day trip somewhere around. It is, in my opinion, the best way to enjoy a holiday!

Fascinating discussion. Thanks.
When I ride the metro into DC, I cannot legally carry anyway, so on those days when I am in the district (and Metro is the designated driver), I'll have a couple drinks with friends or the bride. Otherwise, if I know I'll be having a drink or even wine with dinner, the ccw is locked up.

Site: Columbia, Mo. (Hearnes Center)
Event: Tiger Invitational
Score: #23 Michigan 3, North Florida 1 (25-17, 19-25, 25-20, 25-18)
Records: U-M (2-0), UNF (0-2)
Next U-M Event: Saturday, August 25 -- vs. Virginia Tech - Tiger Invitational (Columbia, Mo.), 2:30 p.m. CDT
COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Junior Lexi Erwin (Spring, Texas/Woodlands College Park) tied a career high with 23 kills and was one of four Wolverines with double-digit terminations as the 23rd-ranked University of Michigan volleyball team defeated North Florida, 3-1, Friday afternoon (Aug. 24) in the Tiger Invitational at the Hearnes Center. Game scores were 25-17, 19-25, 25-20 and 25-18.
Erwin, who also had 23 kills against Minnesota on Oct. 7, 2011, was one dig away from a double-double with nine and added three blocks. Junior Molly Toon (Middleton, Wis./Middleton) had 11 kills, while freshman Ally Davis (Hinsdale, Ill./Hinsdale Central) and junior Jennifer Cross (Scarborough, Ontario/Birchmount Park Collegiate) had 10 kills apiece. Sophomore Lexi Dannemiller (West Chester, Ohio/Lakota West) had 50 assists, her 13th 50-plus assist match in her career, while freshman Tiffany Morales (Redondo Beach, Calif./Redondo Union) had a team-high 15 digs.
Michigan used a .323 hitting percentage and defense to the tune of 17 digs to take the first set. The Wolverines jumped out to a 6-2 on five straight U-M kills. North Florida cut that lead to 10-9, but the Wolverines answered with a 6-1 run, capped off by a Cross kill. Michigan then scored the last six points of the set as a Morales ace and Davis kill highlighted that run.
North Florida used a late run to take the second set and tie the match. There were 10 ties and six lead changes in that second set, the last tie coming at 19-all on an Erwin kill. North Florida scored the last six points as back-to-back U-M attack errors closed it out to tie the match.
The third set was tied at five, but Michigan took the lead for good on a Toon kill. The Maize and Blue made it 12-7 on another Toon kill and led 15-9 on an assisted block from Cross and Erwin, who had four kills in that set, the final one giving U-M a 19-13 lead. North Florida went on a 4-0 run to cut the lead to 21-18, but two UNF attack errors surrounding a Davis kill gave Michigan the 2-1 match advantage.
Michigan and North Florida traded points in the beginning of the fourth set. U-M had an 8-5 lead after a Dannemiller kill, but UNF came back to take an 11-10 advantage. North Florida led as late as 15-14, but four straight points by the Wolverines gave them a lead for good. An Erwin kill, her seventh of the set, and two Osprey attack errors made it 22-17. Michigan ended the match on two Cross kills and an attack error. The Wolverines ended the fourth set with a scorching .600 hitting percentage and had just one attack error in the set.
Michigan hit .336 for the match, its second plus-.300 match of the day. The Wolverines outdug the Ospreys, 45-37, and had nine service aces, four of them coming from Morales.
The Wolverines will have two more matches in the Tiger Invitational on Saturday (Aug. 25). The Maize and Blue will face Virginia Tech at 2:30 p.m. CDT and host Missouri at 7 p.m. CDT.

The fire chief in Arizona City has been removed from his job.
The fire district board cited a lack of leadership and motivation to further his education in terminating Paul Sabel this week.
Sabel tells the Casa Grande Dispatch that he's not sure whether he'll take legal action against the board. He had been earning a yearly salary of $52,000.
The board members were elected last November after a change in state law. Previously, the fire chief was chosen by voters.
About 65 people showed up at the meeting where the board voted to oust Sabel. One man presented a petition with more than 250 signatures in support of Sabel.

'Avengers: Age of Ultron' More Exhausting Than ExhilaratingSubmitted by PatrickMcD on May 1, 2015 - 1:14am

CHICAGO – "The Avengers: Age Of Ultron" is another overstuffed, action packed CGI addled slugfest from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. but the effects are exhausting instead of exhilarating. What has set the Avengers apart is the great interplay between the characters – and when the movie stops to take a breath, those relationships shine through.

Rating: 3.5/5.0
CHICAGO – "Iron Man 2" with returner Robert Downey Jr. and newcomer Scarlett Johansson does what it can within the confines of what it has to do. The Hollywood machine has trained us to have certain expectations for blockbuster sequels and "Iron Man 2" neither deviates nor blazes new territory.

CHICAGO – Hellboy is plugged as the world's brawniest, kitten-loving superhero. While that paradox is supposed to be both funny and action packed, "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" from famed writer and director Guillermo del Toro falls flat on the funny front and instead winds up on the funny farm.

Robert Downey Jr. fittingly opens "Iron Man" with a cocktail in hand and all the arrogance in the world. As the story goes, his conceit is indeed respected as Earth is his oyster both for the playing and for the taking.

ford focus grinding,smoke, and burnt rubber smell
I have a 2000 ford focus se. dhoc.
i noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear, thought it might me the the shoe's,drums. i pull of the right drum a bearing falls out, when i looked at the new drums they are a little different. the old ones have what looks like a collar, which this bearing seems to sit in perfectly. any clue what is going on,
I'll bet the "collar" is the 'Wheel Seal'. Try not to abuse the stock ones if possible. Replacements aren't cheap and so long as the stocks look good you can reuse them.
If it's something else you're going to have to post a picture of this oddity.
effing fords
well the collars were junk, I spoke with a Ford Mechanic he said the new drum with out the collars are okay to use, and that the collar is just a nuisance. found out the wheel cylinders didn't get changed out. and that was causing my promblem. well besided the fact its a ford

Chinese actor Mei Zhiyong, dressed as the late kung fu star Bruce Lee, performed today in front of the bronze statue of the star in Hong Kong to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Lee's death. Lee is best known for the kung fu skills he displayed in his movies, but his daughter, Shannon Lee, hopes that more people take the effort to understand his teachings and life philosophy. The Hong Kong government has teamed up with the Bruce Lee Foundation to put together an exhibition to showcase Lee's life, from his famous yellow tracksuit he wore in "Game of Death" to his writings and drawings.

This week on Real Housewives of Orange County someone forgot to mind their manners in front of Miss Perfect! During Heather Dubrow's Hot In Cleveland filming, which was attended by most of her castmates, Gretchen Rossi seemed to be confused about who was the one up on stage getting attention!
She and her Slavéence were super late, missing most of Heather's scenes as it were, and then spent the entire remainder of the evening hopping up and down to attend to their phones. Even worse at the celebratory dinner Gretchen made it all about her birthday "lease" from Slave.
Taking to her Bravo Blog, Heather laments Gretchen's behavior and explains why she didn't confront her on the spot. "Show night! I was really looking forward to having some of my special friends come and support me on this night!" Heather begins.

How do i clean paint brush and keep my old paint last longer?
Hey everyone what is the best way to clean paint brush? use Trisodium Phosphate? or use mineral spirits? I'll be using solid acrylic paint on my deck. Also how should i keep my leftover paint so it can last longer? Do i need to add anything to the paint bucket so if i use it after a year or two it will be in good condition.
Read the paint can it will tell you what to clean up with.100% acrylic= warm soapy water.Use a wire brush after it's rinses clean to comb out the bristles and remove any dried paint.Put the lid on tight and don't let it freeze,no need to add anything but are you sure you want to paint instead of staining?
thx for replying. sorry i meant to say stain. wht is the difference anyways? Also that means i shouldnt keep the paint can in the garage where the temp can get to -25 C?
If -25c =32 f, then no
First, you might be better off using a 9" roller and a throw-away pan for your approx 200 sq ft deck; OK you may be using both - but a roller is a good time saver. Use an old broom handle to save your back...
Second, the key is getting the brush/roller clean right after painting, like within the hour. Not overnight or next week. Clean the brush/rolller using water - as someone pointed out - with that paint only (the Dulux stuff) but not necessarily for every paint. Depends. Read the label. Or just throw away the roller once you're done.
Third, try not to store paint. You should be getting 250-300 sqft of coverage out of a gallon of paint, so if you're going with 2 coats, figure on 2 gallons. You might be left with 1/4 of a gallon but storing it isn't worth the pain. Dispose of it properly. Paint is best on something - not stored in a can in a garage...use it for what it is meant for.
TSP is not meant for cleaning brushes; it is meant for cleaning hard surfaces (like walls) of grime, grease and particulate matter. Not old paint.
I understand those of you who don't believe in storing paint, but I like to keep some on hand. There's always touch-ups to do and it sure is nice to have some leftover so you can take it to the paintstore to match what you have for the next repaint. I keep just about any leftover paint I come by. Even if I don't use it for touch ups, I combine similar paints at some point and use that mixture for painting apartment basements or someone's old garage that they don't want to invest a lot of money into.......
If you seal the lid up tight and store it in a cool, dry place it will be fine for a long time. Sometimes the metal cans begin to rust, but that is rare. If you want, you can add a small amount of water to latex paint that will sit on top and keep the paint from getting hard, but even that is rarely necessary if you store it correctly.
I wouldn't use a solid acrylic stain on a deck. Atlest not on the horizontal walking surfaces.
I never clean roller covers - I throw them out to save time. I think it's better for the environment also. There is a lot of paint in roller covers. I'd rather put the cover in a landfill than put the paint in a river. I do clean brushes, but
1) brushes cost a lot more
2) brushes hold less paint
3) brushes are much faster to clean
Some more help for storing paint.
First, the lid must be tightly sealed. For that to happen, the groove must be devoid of any paint. That means you either have to keep paint out of the groove, or you have to take a cloth and clean the paint out of the groove.
To keep paint out to begin with, use one of these.
If you don't, you'll have to clean out the groove.
Next, if you only have a quart or so left, it will store much better in a quart sized can which you can buy at your local Home Depot or whatever. Storing 1 quart of paint in a 1 gal can leaves a lot of air, which can dry out and oxidize the paint. Storing it in a 1 quart can is much better. Or save your old 1 quart paint cans and clean them out when done with the paint for this purpose.
You can also store the can upside down. This makes it easier to remix the paint after a long sit, since the solids will tend to migrate to the bottom.
When I clean my brushes and rollers I mix a 1/2 cup of fabric softener in a gallon of water. The brush, just swish around in the mix, this removes most all the paint. Then warm soapy water to finish. For roller covers scrape the excess paint with 5 in 1 tool then swish in mixture then run under warm water and spin dry. This way the roller can be reused or at least be used for primer. As far as the environment there's not much difference in putting water based in the river or roller covers in the landfill.
There are many resources you can read e.g.
This is how I clean a roller when I clean rollers.It's faster than cleaning a brush.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUubX153yPE

Embrace new technology. Adapt. Preserve a human connection in sales and seize the opportunities provided by a market that's bound to become more aware of your products and services. Those were some of the words of wisdom offered by Wayne Alter, founder of Dynamark, and Wade Moose, CEO of The Systems Depot and Elk Products, in the keynote speeches at the Dynamark Convention 2013.
A spirit of optimism pervaded the basic message, and both Alter and Moose were engaging speakers, knowledgeable and honest, with a penchant for weaving helpful and often funny personal stories into their advice for dealers. Early into Alter's keynote, he predicted the penetration rate for the market would see a spike between 5-8 percent in the not-too-distant future. It's a lofty projection, but one grounded in the likelihood that market awareness stands to rise appreciably in the coming years due to the influx of new players, specifically the cablecos and telecoms, whose advertising clout could prove a boon to the entire industry. This development, together with a gradually recovering economy and a profusion of home management services that boost RMR and curb attrition, might be enough to nudge that stubborn penetration rate in an upward direction. I'll be keeping a close eye on market reports to see if Alter's prediction bears itself out.
Another point of emphasis in both speeches, particularly Alter's: The industry has come full circle. "It's new in some ways, and it's old in others," Alter told attendees. While the technology and the means of reaching customers have undergone dramatic transformations recently, some of the original principles of salesmanship remain as essential as ever, Alter noted. He mentioned Vivint's door-knocking summer sales model as an example of this, as well as the DIY monitoring systems, which Alter originally thought would appeal more to hobbyists than general customers.
Another two-part prescription Alter provided to dealers: Expand the number of people in your business and train them well. It's a tested formula for building an account base, if not always an easy one to enact. This piece of advice again harkens back to the recurring theme of the keynote—the theme of keeping pace with the evolution of the industry while preserving certain core requirements that have always been conducive to growth.
In a funny anecdote, Alter drove home the point that many of the same sales practices that work best now were the same sales practices that worked best when he started his business in 1975, a time when he had to scour phonebooks for sales leads.
There's much more to say about my experience at the Dynamark Convention. But since this space is reserved for a blog rather than a dissertation, I'll have to save these thoughts for my next post. Tomorrow I'll discuss my inaugural central station visit at Dynamark's Hagerstown, Md.-based facility, along with some other goings-on at the convention.
AT&T's 2012 announcement that it would phase out 2G service left most in the alarm industry, well, unfazed. With wireless technology, such changes come with the territory. Moreover, it's not the alarm industry but the mobile phone industry that dictates network "sunsets." As Lou Fiore, Chairman of the Alarm Industry Communications Commission, put it in a recent conversation: "As long as you go cellular, there is no endgame here."
A few months after the initial announcement, AT&T attached a deadline (Jan 1, 2017) to its 2G sunset. Since that time, the AICC has established a regular line of communication with AT&T, which sends a representative to attend the organization's quarterly meetings.
AT&T informed AICC that, while interim changes would take place in advance of the 2G sunset, the changes would not affect the alarm industry. AICC members, Fiore said, were "skeptical."
"We tried to impress upon [AT&T] the fact that our control sets hang on the wall, and if you change the operating parameters of that network, it may not work anymore," Fiore said. "You can't ask the homeowner to move the unit around to see if it works."
Fiore, who is in the process of gathering information regarding possible outages for units tied to AT&T's 2G network, said that in given locations, customers might still get 2G coverage but that there's a chance it "won't be as deep as it was before."
Fortunately, there are some steps alarm companies can take to mitigate outages. Companies can switch to AT&T's 3G or 4G network by choosing matching hardware from a cellular alarm communicator, or to one of AT&T's competitors (the 3G and 4G networks of Verizon and Sprint are an option, Fiore said). Certain companies may be able to go with a wired network, but this is highly contingent upon business model, Fiore noted.
Still three years from the deadline, AT&T's 2G sunset promises to be a story with several more chapters. I'll be watching closely to see what kind of ripple effects it has on the industry.
Steve Gorski has experienced some déjà vu at recent trade shows. As GM Americas for Mobotix, a network camera company that takes a decentralized approach to storage, Gorski has been evangelizing the benefits of storage onboard the camera for a while.
In another illustration of the industry's evolution, Baton Rouge La.-based Skyhawk Security, which offers remote video monitoring, IP camera systems and access control systems for commercial customers (most in Louisiana, but some as distant as California), acquired local IT firm Big Networks. With the purchase of the firm's assets and intellectual property, the Skyhawk Group (the name of the merged company) will have an in-house IT unit to supplement its security offerings.
The move establishes an interesting hybridized security company in the Louisiana capital. Brett Lofton, one of three managing members with Skyhawk, said the acquisition, in addition to bringing in an "in-house IT decision maker," also presents some major cross-selling opportunities, particularly with respect to some of the clients the company inherited through the Big Networks buy.
Lofton said some of these accounts could potentially be a boon to Skyhawk's security business. "We'll certainly be cross-selling and trying to get in front of them to talk about [our security offerings]," Lofton noted, adding that this applies especially to companies with guards—customers who could find the security services palatable. Commercial customers may find value in the prospect of replacing or supplementing nightshifts with video monitoring, Lofton said.
Skyhawk also plans to explore cross-selling its hosted access control service, which Lofton believes is gaining traction. It will be interesting to follow what kind of role video monitoring and access control play in the company's primary near-term plan: organic growth—much of which could be fueled by business in its own backyard. Stay tuned for more on Skyhawk's plans and near-term goals in Louisiana and beyond.
Updated on Sept. 26 with an interview with Fredrik Nilsson, GM Americas for AXIS Communications.
CHICAGO—Network camera provider AXIS Communications is now also a provider of network access control.
WASHINGTON—The crisis in Syria only further roils what was already expected to be a turbulent few months in Congress leading up to the holidays. Despite the din, the Security Industry Association has developed a plan to advance some of its own objectives, of which there are many.
YARMOUTH, Maine—The November issue of Security Systems News will include the annual special report entitled "Women in Security."
NEW YORK—The combination of physical security and explosive-detection canines is driving business in a big way for MSA Systems Integration.
HOUSTON—Honeywell is expanding its focus on the industrial fire protection market and its new Life Safety Training and Customer Experience Center, which will have its grand opening here Sept. 18, is one indication of its renewed interest in the space, according to the company.

Quota event benefits ICCAP Power Packs
Quota International of Indiana, Pa. Inc. sponsored a districtwide Service on Site project as part of the 2014 Quota District 3 conference, held Saturday at the Indiana Holiday Inn, to benefit the Indiana County Community Action Program's Power Pack program.
Members of District 3, including Indiana, New Castle, Johnstown, Hermitage and Shenango Valley, were challenged to collect as many nonperishables as they could. More than $500 and more than 800 items were collected and donated by the Quotarians to the Power Pack program. The New Castle and Hermitage clubs were recognized for making the largest donation and collecting the most items, respectively.
The Power Pack program provides child-friendly, nonperishable food items to children in Indiana County schools who do not have food in their homes over the weekend. The program serves about 500 children at 10 schools in Indiana County.
Amy Kemp of ICCAP gave the conferees an overview of the program at the luncheon.
"Part of Quota's mission is to serve disadvantaged women and children," Quota President Amy Taylor-Liboski said. "When we learned about the Power Pack program and how it serves children in our communities, we knew we wanted to support it."
Added District 3 Governor Meghan M. Foulk, "I am so proud of what District 3 has been able to do for ICCAP's Power Pack program by coming together as one united group of Quotarians. Each person might have brought only one or two items, but every little bit helps. When you add up everyone's items, the impact is so great."
This was the last district conference before Quota International switches to a regional configuration. At every Quota conference, the clubs perform some type of outreach project.
Recently, the Indiana Quota donated $250 worth of personal care items to the Justice Works Program for use by CYS Children and $250 as part of a larger donation for a start-up yoga program for teenagers.
On Jan. 30, Quota of Indiana, Pa., in partnership with the Coney Island, hosted the 11th annual Alice Paul House fundraiser, raising more than $9,000.
On March 21, Quota raised more than $20,000 through its ninth annual St. Patty's Open for its charitable initiatives in the community and is actively planning for the 10th annual event, to be held in March 2015.
With more than 50 active members, Quota International of Indiana meets monthly at the Indiana Country Club. The group celebrated its 56th anniversary in September.
Quota of Indiana continues an active schedule of community impact projects, including a mentorship program for girls and teens and an active hearing loss prevention program.
Membership in Quota is open to all. For more information, contact Taylor-Liboski at (724) 549-6512.

Carpet installation.. any tips, pointers, etc?
I keep finding myself tending toward fitting carpet like I make a seat cover. Several pieces sewn together to fit the curves, transmission tunnel and such. I feel like I **must** be missing something obvious. This is one area I never got to learn from my dad before he passed.
Current project in the shop is really kicking my ***. An idea of how those more experienced approach this might really help.
Thank you in advance!
u didn't say what kinda car...???????
if it a custom tunnel, u'r own ur own on that one.. for my bucket i did the floor in 2 pc's. floor then tunnel and had the carpet store sew the edges..
not really knowing so I might be talking out one side of my but..
but I'd think you could use the seam tapethey use when they lay carpet in huge rooms.. to get a tight fit
Look at how this carpet is installed. If you don't like the binding on the edges, just don't use it, just do something to the edges of the carpet to keep it from unraveling. CARPET INSTALL
Dan, thanks for the info, it is helping! Aside from binding, what other methods are there to prevent unraveling? Specifically when I have the tunnel carpet glued in place, I will need to "butt" the edge of the floor sections up to it. This is why I have sewn this in the past. It takes forever to sew it all up AND get good fitment. The backing of the carpet doesn't hold up well to that.
A little more info about the current project, it is a '78 Datsun truck. I know this should be really simple. I want this to turn out well, so I am asking for some assistance.
The floor was covered with sound deadening (eDead) and then I put down a layer of padding. This is where I am now. A few photos.
I would do this in three pieces. Cover the tunnel first, and then each side from front to back as a separate piece. If you don't want to bind the edges next to the tunnel, simply turn them under and sew them down, or if the carpet is nylon, you can heat the edges with a flame and melt the edges, assuming the carpet is black or at least dark.
Thank you for the advice and pointers! I ended up adding a dart to fit the tunnel. When I glued it down it laid completely flat against the tunnel. Not a single wrinkle or goofy spot, which is all I am willing to settle for. Still in progress. I know what I'm doing from here forward. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself.
I rolled the edges and glued them down. I like the way it looks so far. Feels good to see this coming together.
In progress...
I have been rolling the edges over and gluing them down. This works great when the line is straight and doesn't cross one of the rows of pile in the carpet. When it crosses rows, it looks like crap.
Exhibit A:
So, I bound that edge. I didn't want binding on all edges. Not the look I was going for. I think the one strip of binding on each side will look alright. I hope.
Exhibit B:
The rear section is almost completely "invisible" when the seats are in place. And the seat support (black painted part) breaks the line. So...
Late night in the shop. I'm happy with the results. Learned a few lessons along the way. Matching floor mats to follow tomorrow.
that looks pretty good to me, nice work :cool:
My son does custom stereo installations and he taught me a neat trick to keep the carpet from unraveling. Lightly pass a flame along the cut edge. The flame melts the thread and it won't unravel. Kinda like you do with polyethylene rope.
If you look at the 6th post in this thread, he was already given that advice. It only works on synthetic carpet, it won't do a thing to any natural fiber.
I tried melting the edge. I didn't like the way it looked, so I used matching color vinyl for binding.
Carpets look good to me, is that the original dash or did you replace it, and if so where did you find one? I have a PL620 standard cab that needs a dash.
Dave, that dash pad came out of a parts truck that was purchased for the good dash pad. It needs to be removed and hit with some SEM dye to renew the color. They are exceptionally hard to find in good shape. When you find a good one it makes the whole interior look so much better. I have yet to see another option that looks as good as the stock dash pad in good shape. This is my shop truck.

Can we use images publicly released by copyright owners such as movie posters or let's say automobile images available with the PR release?
PR Release = Preview Site? I've seen people use things like game screenshots, etc, typically things that are meant to be passed around and re-upped anyway. I'd think pictures of cars and movie posters would call under that category – free publicity for them, right? The only issue I can see there possibly being is if it's specifically against Envato's rules.
I imagine you may have to credit them, though, but frankly I'm operating on pure opinion right now.
Well i think we should be able to use any image as long as we are not re selling the images and we give proper credits to the author. I used to sell stuff on other marketplaces and as long as the download file did not include the preview images they were all cool with it.
I purchased images for my preview from Photodune and I think these guys do great work instead of going to a different marketplace for images. You can also talk to photodune authors to work out a deal with them using their watermarked images for previews and giving them credit. I dunno if this is totally possible but it does not hurt to ask. For my band templates i actually asked musicians and got them to sign the model release form that they authorize the use of their images.

Is the Blueray player in the PS3 as good as a stand alone unit?
I was standing in line at Sam's Club last night and was watching Transformers on a 47" Phillips LCD TV playing from a Sony Blueray player they had set up near the checkout. That s
I have my PS3 hooked up to my Samsung 58" Plasma through a monoprice HDMI cable. Was it the LCD TV? Better cables? Or the Blueray player?
Probably the calibration on the Sam's set? They usually have it on Vivid or something to show the colors.
Are you using an HDMI cable?
Yes..... (Fixed)
yea it should be. is your TV professionally calibrated at all? mine is and you can definitely tell the difference. i'm using the ps3 as my primary player as well. i do have a really thick HDMI cable (from monster, i got that **** for free when a friend used to work at best buy) the only difference between standalones and the ps3 is the audio capabilities. the standalones have better (audio) processing and more options.
I don't really think it is an inferior TV, it was a top of the line Sammy. I have only had it for 10 months..... I set it up with the Avia disc.
I highly doubt the TV at Sam's club was professionally calibrated.....
yea it probably isn't, but i'm sure that it's at least calibrated somehow. they aren't just going to leave it like that, they got to make it so the customer will want to buy it.
samsung plasma's aren't that great though, they are known more for their quality LCDs
I am now trying to locate an ISF certified calibrating service in Columbus but not having any luck. Anyone know of a database so I can easily find one? I would rather not use the losers at Best Buy....
i bet money that the tv had 120Hz refresh rate
I have a PS3 and a stand along Sony Blu Ray and I haven't noticed any difference, mostly it's the TV that makes up the difference, the signal to the TV is the same with either.
Should I try upgrading my monoprice HDMI cable?
Do you have a receiver in between?
:confused: No.......... PS3 -> HDMI -> TV
I doubt seriously the blu ray is better.
Chances are it was your imagination.
I was at Sams the other day and so pissed off because they had the Pioneer plasma settings all screwed up and the LCDs were tweaked.
Go to best buy and buy a monster HDMI and a monster component and test them. You can return if not better.
Here, try this setting in your TV (write down your old settings)
Preset: Dynamic
Contrast: 65
Brightness: 45
Sharpness: 75
Color 45
Color Temp: Cool2
Digital NR : ON
This is one on my presets for TV mode. I have a 63" Sammy but it is ISF calibrated so it may be different results.
If does look better try this:
Con : 75
Bright: 75
Sharp : 75
Color: 35
Color Temp : Norm
Dig NR: Normal
adjust the color up until flesh tones are pink then back down 5 notches.
try these settings on each preset, they differ internally and will not be the same even with the same settings.
WRITE DOWN your currents settings first.
Thank you, I will do this when I get home.....
Glockman, what settings do you have for your 37" panny plasma? I have the same one and I'm curious in the difference in settings.
everybody ive talked to has said the same about my xbr6. im pretty sure that "3d" feeling is from the 120hz/automotion plus. you won't get that with plasma, but thats because plasmas have better refresh/color than lcds anyway.

NME reports that HBO has purchased the US TV rights to the Pussy Riot documentary, Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer. The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday.
In a statement, directors Mike Lerner and Maxim Pozdorovkin said they "are thrilled to be working with HBO on bringing this important story to the world".
Last month, they told NME that they were trying to show the personal side of the story. Pozdorovkin said: "The film features footage from their trial, so you see how Pussy Riot turn it into a sort of performance. The girls really flourish and take on this role that's thrust on them. In the seventies, Russia didn't have a punk movement, so Pussy Riot is like 'God Save The Queen' for them."
Lerner added: "We also interviewed their families and lawyers. And we have candid footage of the girls chatting privately right before the trial. We want to show what Masha, Nadia and Katia are like as individuals – why they did what they did, and how they've responded since."
The international rights are still available for sale. When asked about a UK release, Lerner said: "We're hoping to have it cinemas by spring. It's a good date movie – you won't struggle for conversation afterwards."

A story about passion and independence
The snow was falling heavier now, it hadn't taken long for it to settle. 'Amazing what a difference a couple of hours had made', she thought. When she'd left it was cold but had given no indication of what was to come. She quietly cursed her independent streak and for not the first time that afternoon, she wished she'd simply stayed in. But no, foolish as she was, she'd thought a quiet...Read On

Whole house automatic transfer switch?
I am looking into getting an automatic standby generator for my house and was wondering about the automatic transfer switch. The generators I have been looking at are 7000 - 10000 watts and include the ATS that "powers 8 circuits of your home". I would assume that any circuits that I would like powered by the generator would need to be moved into the ATS box. I would have to step up to the 18,000 watt model in order to get the ATS that "Protects one 200 amp distribution panel", but the price is $4800 instead of the ~$2200 for the models the lower wattage models. I have a 100 amp service and would like to provide backup power to the entire distribution panel, so can I purchase a different ATS that will just connect to the existing 100 amp panel and not have to choose and move circuits to the ATS (and use one of the smaller generators)?
Also, I have been looking at the Centurion 5247 and 5248. Does anyone have any suggestions on others I should be considering?
If you really don't need the automatic transfer option check this out.
There is no need for a seperate generator panel. You can pick and choose on the fly what you what to power, up to the output limit of your generator.
Thanks for the reply. I actually have one of those right now for my 2500w generator and it does work, but I have some very expensive saltwater aquariums in my house that if left off for very long, especially in the winter, spells disaster. This past winter the power went off when I was at work and I didn't realize it until I got home. I lost several hundred dollars worth of livestock and don't want to do that again. Also, the lockout is not very girlfriend-friendly. She doesn't even like to go in the basement, much less touch the electrical panel.
This device is excellent for you. You simply pull the meter(the POCO pulls it actually), Plug in the generlink then plug the meter back in.
But that device is for a portable generator and you still need to manually start the generator. I am looking at natural gas generators that would work without any intervention on my part, even if I am not home.
A whole house transfer switch will always be considerably more than an automatic transfer panel.
The units I supply and like have the option to use a panel or switch, neither is included, you just choose what you want.
The units run from 7Kw and up. Typically I would use a 10Kw-15Kw. IMO any bigger than that and you need to check your priorities. NO ONE needs to run their WHOLE house for the occasional power outage. Even a day or two.
I would NOT touch a Generac unit with a 10' pole. By this I mean I would not supply one. I will install one if it is customer supplied, but I will NOT have ANYTHING to do with the warranty.
I can certainly live without most of my house for a day or two, but there are a few key circuits that I would like to power. The only reason that I wanted to go with a "whole house ATS" would be so that I essentially would not have to move circuits out of the main panel into the generator sub-panel and thus have to choose which circuits are powered and which ones simply have to wait for the power to come on. If there is a large price difference for the luxury of being able to run anything in the house from the generator instead of just 8 or 10 circuits, it will factor in my decision.
It appears that Centurion is made by Generac, so I would assume it would have the same issues as a Generac. Are you saying that the Generac's are problematic, or if there happens to be an issue, they are difficult to get warranty parts from?
What do you think of Guardian?
Oops, looks like Guardian are made by Generac too.
I just know that Generac has a horrible reputation as far as service and tech support goes. I'm not sure about parts.
Speedy Petey (or anyone),
Just so I am sure I understand how these are wired, Utility power comes in from the meter and feeds the main panel. The main panel feeds the sub panel via a for example a 60amp breaker in the main panel. If there is power feeding from the 60amp breaker in the main panel (ie utility power is on), then the sub-panel is fed from the utility power. If the ATS senses that there is no power on the 60amp feed, it disconnects the feed and gets power from the generator. Once utility power is restored, the ATS switches back to the 60amp feed.
In a "whole house" situation, the feed from the meter goes to the ATS and the output of the ATS goes to the main breaker on the main panel. The ATS will supply the main panel with power from either the utility or generator.
Do I have this correct?
That is it Tron. You've got a good handle on it. :thumbsup:
Have you considered a UPS instead of an ATS / Genset?
Yes, but they don't run for very long. When the power does go off, it is usually off for a day or two, and they UPS doesn't give me more than an hour and does nothing for the refrigerator. So I have to wheel out the portable generator and hook it up. Also, the UPSs I have at least, do not allow you to turn the alarm off, so if the power goes off at night, all of the alarms start chiming and wake everyone up.
If I have a 100 amp service and the sub-panel is rated at 100 amps, do I feed the sub-panel with 100 amp breaker, or something less? I am guessing that if all of the "essential" devices were operating at once, it would be ~3500-4000 watts + a 2-ton AC, worst case scenario.

President Benigno Aquino III said on Tuesday the country should proceed with the scheduled barangay election this October instead of postponing it, as suggested by the Commission on Elections.
"I'm nervous about the postponement. There might be a lot of postponements that will happen like what we experienced before and the mandate of the people should be secured periodically," Aquino said in Pilipino.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr said on Monday he would prefer that barangay elections be held next year or early 2015 to give the poll body time to deal with more urgent issues, including the expected electoral protests by losing candidates in the recently concluded polls.
Another priority is to meet with the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee for the May 13, 2013 post-elections assessment, he said.
"It's really up to legislature and the president, because all acts will be decided by the President," Brillantes said when asked to comment on the president's position.
There are pending bills in Congress seeking to delay the elections scheduled later this year.
"If the Congress passes a postponement law, the president can still veto the postponement," Brillantes said.
Election lawyer Romulo Macalintal said in a radio program Comelec's proposal to postpone the elections is against the Constitution. While Congress has power to set the date for the barangay elections, it has no power to extend the term of office of barangay officials.
"Hindi dapat magkaroon ng postponement sapagkat anumang batas na gagawin ng Kongreso ay magiging labag sa ating Saligang Batas (There should be no postponement because any law that Congress will pass will be against the Constitution)," said Macalintal.
The poll chief, for his part, said he did not want to extend the terms of barangay officials. "Puwede naman matapos ang term nila at walang hold over, at mag-appoint si Presidente, mas gusto ko iyon (They can complete their terms without holdovers and let the President appoint [officers-in-charge]. I prefer that)," Brillantes said.

These forms are due on July 1st for fall admittance and January 15th for spring admittance.

The Center does not bill personal health insurance. These costs can be paid at the time of service through credit/debit cards or echeck. If the charges are not paid they will be placed on the student's account in the Bursar's Office.
Students always have the right to refuse treatment that would incur these costs. Although health insurance is not required, it is highly recommended so that the student will be covered for services beyond the scope of our department.
