Last week,Avis announced that it was buying Zipcar for $12.25 a share, a 49 percent premium over Zipcar's price at the time. For Avis, it's a bet that short-term car rentals — or car sharing, as Zipcar likes to call it — will continue to grow in cities worldwide. For cities, the deal points to an even broader trend: It's a reminder that technological change, which favored suburbs throughout much of the 20th century, is now clearing away obstacles to a satisfying urban life and amplifying the benefits of urban density.

Emami PAT up 17 %
Aug 09 2014 , Kolkata
"The company has performed extremely well during this quarter both in the domestic and the international market especially in an environment which has been threatened by various challenges like economic slowdown and inflation. Strong performance by all our power brands in key categories helped us to meet the challenges in the operating environment and register a 25.6 per cent top line growth. Consumer sentiment and demand for our products continued to be good and robust both in modern and general trade. All our new launches have received encouraging consumer response and have started making significant contribution in generating revenues," Mohan Goenka, director, Emami Limited, said.
The domestic business in the Q1 grew at a robust pace with an excellent topline growth of 19.7 per cent, the highest growth recorded in the last fifteen quarters. Favourable weather and a good summer coupled with robust performance of the power brands attributed to the excellent topline growth, he said.
The international business of the company grew over 100 per cent during the quarter, doubling the sales achieved against the corresponding quarter in FY14.
"All the focused countries, including Bangladesh, where we have our own plants, performed exceedingly well. Saudi Arabia and Oman in the Middle East, Kenya and Uganda in Africa and Russia amongst the CIS countries were star performers. All our power brands like Navratna, Fair and Handsome, BoroPlus Antiseptic Cream, Zandu & Mentho Plus Balms were rich contributors to our performance in the international market," said Goenka.

Did u find it true? Or is it the contrary?
Do u find hard to have a bestfriends?

This is a discussion on INFJs and Friends within the INFJ Forum - The Protectors forums, part of the NF's Temperament Forum- The Dreamers category; It said that the INFJs are tend to have lots of friends because INFJs personality fits with almost every personality ...
It said that the INFJs are tend to have lots of friends because INFJs personality fits with almost every personality types..
Did u find it true? Or is it the contrary?
Do u find hard to have a bestfriends?
How many bestfriends do u have now?
I reckon there are some types INFJs would generally get along better with than others, goes for all types but there are always exceptions depending on the individuals. There aren't a lot of people in the portion of society I inhabit who would bother taking the time to get to know and understand me. Acquintances are content with superficial relations so I find it difficult to establish a friendship connection with them. I also have social phobia, which causes me to often isolate myself on purpose. My best friend is ENFJ who I'm closest with and ISFJ, but we've drifted due to moving schools.
What about you? I wish there were more people on this forum!!
but the one i consider as my bestfriend who's understand me so much are an INFJ too and an ENFJ..
are u still in highschool know limetree?
where ar u come from?
i have one ENFJ best friend, he's a male and i think he's nice.. i can totally understand all of his vision about life..
he's some sort of a leader in one of social community in my city.. and sometimes he can be such a great leader because he always willing to sacrifice everything for the good of the member..
but sometimes,if anything don't go according to his expectation he can be a bit restless.
anyway.. i'm agree with u Jen, NF are easy to be friends with..
btw how many best friends do u have Jen?
'n from all of them who u really is match with ur character?
My ENFJ friend sounds a lot like your ENFJ friend. Community wise, but that's an ENFJ for ya. Gotta love them.
and yeah i don't have any problem to love an ENFJ
i have one ESFJ bestfriend either she's nice and fun, i can really get along with her.. but i have one INFJ bestfriend and i think he's the bes..t cause he really-really understand me, and we really loved to joke about our so 'INFJ' character
I seem to be a people magnet
No but seriously i find it very easy to get to know new people, it is at some extent strange; I know when i have won another possible friend, and it is usually rather fast in the first couple of minutes when i get to know someone.
I can notice how they find my loyalty, charisma, and feeling side compelling. I just love to see how everybody is at ease and happy, so i do take charge when having projects in college and i really like the idea of having different friends in different classes. I usually get along with everybody, i don't believe in discrimination and grouping, for me that just doesn't exists
I am very open to hear what everybody has to say and that makes it interesting. Hearing them is like expanding my reality with new, sometimes similar and sometimes contradictory ideas.
Most of my friends introduce me to their friends and they end up being closer to me
This all is great but after a day of interacting i feel just worn out; my battery depletes completely, that's why i love to have my time alone it's a great time to meditate, and interact with the paranormal .
The funny thing is, i am not as open when giving up personal information. I restrain from telling everybody my theories and how i believe the universe works, i'm just good at knowing what everyone else needs, at it isn't usually such things that i like.
This is the reason why i don't feel like i have lots of best friends. These people do care about me, and i care about them, but i just can't feel that deep bond, such as the one i have with my brother (INFP), my best friend and my cousin (both ESFP's) and the guy i most interact with and have fun, an INTJ. I Also have a great bond with an ENTJ friend who is clearly a genius and who i know since i was born LOL (our mothers are friends since high school).
These are my closest friends. But i do get along with lots of ENTP's who are really mad and with whom i get to release some strange theories to provoke hardcore argumentation between them and ENFP's who i love to turn the table when they try to move me into doing something
It is so funny to "just know" how things are going to develop, predict next people's move and such, then making them aware of that in an indirect way. My friends just know i can´t be fooled LOL, but this also encourages them to try it more and more.
Anyways since i got to knew mbti i feel compelled to identify and archetype each and every person i know. This makes it easier to make friends and has gave me much more understanding.
I get along with just about everyone, except very dominate, aggressive types. I just avoid them and let them do their dominating elsewhere! My husband is (surprise) an ENFP. I think the NF is key for sure. We share the same passions and complement each other in every way! He's also my BF, though I do have a small circle of people I also consider BF's. I'm very selective about who I allow in this group and they are the ones I share my innermost thoughts, wishes and dream with. I have quite a few people I consider acquaintances that I'm very friendly with, but they aren't in my inner circle. Their communication style and interests are much more superficial than what really interests me in a BF.

Zara Phillips has advised women to wear "a great hat and comfy shoes" to horse races.
Queen Elizabeth's eldest granddaughter - who is an Olympic silver medal-winning equestrian herself - offered advice on how to look fashionable at events as she looked glamorous in a floral print dress and beige fascinator at the Magic Millions racing function in Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia this week.
Zara, who serves as ambassador for the organisation, which aims to boost the profile of women in the sport, said in her speech: "My best tip for ladies going to the races would just be to wear a great hat and some comfy shoes."
The 31-year-old royal - who is married to rugby player Mike Tindall - added that her link to the monarchy helped her secure funding in the sport.
She said: "It's better for my sponsors that I am a royal because my name is more noticed than anyone else's."
Zara recently revealed that she doesn't usually wear very much jewellery, except her engagement and wedding rings, preferring an understated look because the accessories could interfere with her work.
She explained: "I've never worn so much bling before. Because I'm wearing gloves when I'm riding, I only wear my engagement and wedding ring. I only do it when I'm going out."

Belding sweeps league match with Coopersville
BELDING — The Coopersville Broncos volleyball team went undefeated last year in league play en route to an O-K Blue Conference championship.
After Thursday nights' match, the Belding Redskins have the early hand in the league championship race this year. Belding played near flawless volleyball as they swept the Broncos 25-22, 25-22, 25-21.
"It was a huge win for us," Belding coach Mikayla Linebaugh said. "Coopersville is a great team and they are very well coached. I was just so pleased with the way my kids played tonight.
"We played with our heart, with dedication and to beat that good of a team in three sends a message," she added.
Coopersville coach Shane Balcom felt his team came in thinking it was going to be an easy win.
"I think the girls came in thinking, because of last year, it was going to be the same thing this year," he said. "I told the girls Belding is a good team. They've always been a good team and are scrappy."
That thought went away quickly as the Redskins took game one 25-22. The game was close throughout with the largest Redskins lead reaching just four points.
"We are good and we work hard every day," Linebaugh said. "The biggest thing is we have fun. We try to stay relax and go with the momentum."
Belding carried the momentum into the second game to win another close one 25-22. The Redskins led 20-14 before a Broncos rally pulled them to within 24-22.
The Redskins, though, closed out the game on the next point.
"We are a good blocking team, but give them (Belding) credit," Balcom said. "They put it through our block today. A lot of our blocks were sloppy and late."
Coopersville started the third game with a small lead at 3-1. The game was tied 7-7 until the Redskins won three straight points for a 10-7 lead.
The Broncos stayed close to pull within 18-17, but that was as close as they would get, as Belding closed out the game and match with a 7-4 run.
"I thought Brooke (Linebaugh) mixed the sets up really well," Linebaugh said. "I thought we got touches on our blocks to help our defense, we spot served really well and those are things we have been working on every day."
Rachel Hunt led the Redskins with 19 digs and 10 kills. Gabby Holyfield had 14 kills and four blocks, Stefanie Harig 14 digs and Brooke Linebaugh had 39 assists.
While Coopersville won the league title last year, it was Belding that ended up with a district title. And the Redskins returned virtually the entire team from a year ago.
"We didn't lose anyone and we got Gabby (Holyfield) back (from injury)," Linebaugh said. "We had a good year last year too."
Lauren Helson led the Broncos with 18 assists, Shelby Umlor 14 digs and Quiana Cornelius seven kills.
Balcom said his team is better than last year. If that is the case, the Redskins may be in store for a monster season.
"We have a better team than last year," Balcom said. "We have a lot of girls coming up this year. We are better with fundamentals and just a better team overall."
Coopersville fell to 6-4-1. Belding remained undefeated at 7-0.
The Redskins will travel to the Portland Invitational on Saturday.

Strains in Si as small as 104 (corresponding to stresses of 10 MPa) have been measured using electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD), with spatial resolution close to 10 nm, and confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) with spatial resolution approaching 100 nm. Analysis of EBSD patterns recorded along a line crossing the mid point of a 20 µm by 2 µm wedge indentation in Si allowed the distortion of the Si crystal to be characterized at each point. Similarly, CRM was used to measure Raman line shifts at each point on a line scan across the indentation, and these shifts were converted to stresses. Comparison of the results show extremely good agreement except very close to the indentation, where the EBSD results, which come from closer to the sample surface than the CRM, indicate greater stresses. Decreasing the CRM laser excitation wavelength to probe smaller sample depths led to convergence of the two measurements as the CRM wavelength and depth probed were decreased. The stress profiles are consistent with an inverse-square power law appropriate to the wedge indentation contact impression acting as an expanding cylinder embedded in the Si surface.

Robot suit offers glimmer of hope to the paralysed
Japan's robot suit venture Cyberdyne president and Tsukuba University's Yoshiyuki Sankai, a professor, have displayed the full-body HAL – Hybrid Assistive Limb – robotic exoskeleton.
This learns the user's motion or gait and assists the wearer's movement, said Prof. Sankai.
He said they have spent quite a few years developing HAL-5, the awesome robot suit that can make paralysed people walk. Its maker, Japan-based robot venture Cyberdyne, is now introducing a new version that is designed for people who suffer from muscle diseases and are in danger of losing their ability to walk.
The "conventional" HAL-5 robot suit helps paralysed persons walk (and lift heavy objects) by transforming brain signals sensed through the skin into motion. Cyberdyne has now modified the suit so that it can detect signals coming from extremely weak muscles, too.
According to a report in Japan's biggest business daily The Nikkei, Cyberdyne plans to start clinical trials of the new robot suit in 2012. The studies will last until 2014 or 2015, with the company hoping it will slow down or even stop the diseases the wearers suffer from.
A total of five Japanese hospitals will take part in the trials.

This year's governor's race will be a good test of how blue Iowa has really turned, with incumbent Democrat Chet Culver joining the crowd of governors with mediocre approval ratings. Two potential Republican nominees, U.S. Rep. Steve King and businessman Bob Vander Plaats, may be too conservative for the state.
Kansas - Very Likely Republican -- How can an open seat be this uncompetitive? Republicans have two candidates in U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback and Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh who between them have won seven statewide elections. Democrats are still looking for a candidate who has won any election.
Maine - Leans Democratic -- Democrats appear to have a strong candidate in former Attorney General Steven Rowe. However, the party has a rather weak term-limited governor in John Baldacci, to whom voters never really seemed to warm. If Baldacci remains unpopular, Republicans may be able to argue that it is time for a change.
Maryland - Likely Democratic -- Even if Democrat Martin O'Malley isn't all that popular, I struggle to see how Republicans will beat him. With a large African-American population and a large liberal suburban vote, Maryland is just a tough state for the G.O.P. O'Malley also was smart enough to raise taxes at the very beginning of his term. Those tax increases will be ancient history by November 2010.
Massachusetts - Likely Democratic -- Notice a trend? Gov. Deval Patrick isn't popular, but it's tough to see how the Republicans win this one. If Patrick's popularity continues to slide, he may be ousted in a primary by another Democrat, but the G.O.P. chances aren't great in this Democratic state. That said, the bad blood between Patrick and the Democratically controlled legislature is serious, which could prevent the party from having a united front.
Michigan - Slight Lean Republican -- With term-limited Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm very unpopular and with no super-strong Democratic standard-bearer to take her place, we'll know that Michigan has turned against the Republicans if the G.O.P. is unable to win this race. Both sides seem likely to have muddled primaries, so I'll be watching whether they turn divisive.
Minnesota - Slight Lean Republican -- New polling in Minnesota helped clarify where Gov. Tim Pawlenty stands. He leads every likely Democratic challenger, some by small margins and some by large ones. If Pawlenty runs, he'll have a tough race in which he will be the favorite. But, knowing that he'll have a tough race, he may decide two terms is enough and turn his attention to the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
Nebraska - Very Likely Republican -- In 2006, Gov. Dave Heineman won with more than 70% of the vote. I've seen nothing to indicate he's in any trouble.
Nevada - Slight Lean Democratic -- No surprise: A new poll showed Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons to be very unpopular. But, that poll also showed that Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid, one possible Democratic candidate, has surprisingly high unfavorables. That's almost certainly because of voter antipathy for his father, Sen. Harry Reid. Nevada voters seem reluctant to vote for one Reid in 2010. Will they really vote for two?
New Hampshire - Very Likely Democratic -- He may sometimes madden his fellow Democrats with his triangulating (see the recent gay marriage debate), but New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch has succeeded in winning broad approval. Twice in a row, Republican nominees haven't been able to crack 30% against him.
New Jersey - Toss Up -- The conventional wisdom says that Republicans would be better off with Chris Christie as their nominee than Steve Lonegan. The conventional wisdom is probably right (we'll find out the nominee next Tuesday). Still, Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine's fundamental problem is that this election is about Jon Corzine.
New Mexico - Slight Lean Democratic -- Last November, Barack Obama took 57% of the vote in New Mexico, which in the two elections before that was a consummate swing state. Was that a one-time occurrence, or the reflection of Democratic gains and demographic changes? I tend to think Republicans have at least a chance to rebound, but they have to find a candidate first.
New York - Likely Democratic -- Irony alert: Republicans would have a better chance in this race if Democratic Gov. David Paterson were a little more popular. As it stands, Paterson is unpopular enough with his own party that he's not likely to run or, if he does, he's likely to lose to Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo will be tough for any Republican to beat -- even Rudy Giuliani.

We've already read the rumours about Rylan Clark and Katie Price going in the Big Brother house and decided that's a pouting pair we'd love to see getting drunk together late at night while tanning each other's naked bodies in a totally non-sexual way.
But here's who some actual members of the public would like to see going in. BB bosses are you listening?
It pleases us greatly to reveal that Rylan Clark was the most wanted contestant and Pippa Middleton came in second place.
Clearly the future Queen's sister won't be going appearing on your TV screens while snoring, taking a shower or having a pee (the monarchy are modernising, but they aren't mad).
But there's a VERY good chance Rylan will appear – he has to strike while the X Factor iron is still hot of course and ride that wave of fame while it lasts.
These two topped a list of celebrities the British public (2,000 of them anyway) want to see walk through the CBB door in January .
It was carried out by designer secret sales website HushHush.com, which also discovered Kim Kardashian, David Haye and Katie Price made the list.
Apparently, one in ten also wanted to see Chantelle Houghton, who entered the house in 2010 with ex husband Samuel Preston, go in with estranged boyfriend Alex Reid (you lot are cruel!) and over a third said they wouldn't have watched the Channel 5 show if shamed TV comedian Justin Lee Collins appeared on it.
That's just as well really because Justin's spokesperson has already revealed he was approached, but turned the opportunity down.
"Although he was thrilled to have been asked, he declined the offer several weeks ago," a statement read.
Here's the top 10 most wanted celebrities those 2,000 people want to see in the house, for all you lovers of lists.
1. Rylan Clark - 41%
2. Pippa Middleton - 34%
3. Kim Kardashian - 29%
4. David Haye - 27%
5. Jessica Ennis - 25%
6. Frankie Dettori - 22%
7. Katie Price - 18%
8. Tom Daley - 17%
9. Jack Whitehall – 14%
10. Spencer Matthews - 12%

Hidey ho everybody!
(insert typical journey entry by deviantArt user who hasn't updated anything in an astronomically long time and excuses as to why no art has been uploaded here)
For the past 9 months or so, I've been having an absolute blast animating on a new TV show for Teletoon and Cartoon Network called GROJBAND!
It's awesome (I'm biased), but seriously, it's awesome. Naturally, I'd probably get into an amazing capacity of trouble if I were to post art from the show for you to see. FORTUNATELY, the directors have a production blog that you can check out right here; grojband.blogspot.ca/
It's about kids, in a band, that rock. It rocks, tremendous rockage.
Can't wait for this bad boy to start airing so I can finally post some artwork. Pumped to share with you, beloved friends sprinkled across the cyber dimensions of the web.
Peace, love, and rock & roll!

When winter arrives, many gardeners turn their attention to houseplants. Whether your passion is delicate orchids or workman-like philodendrons, a well-blended potting mix is one of the most important secrets to healthy performance. Here's an introduction to some of the most common ingredients in a good container mix.
Peat moss
This is the most common ingredient in potting mixes. Peat moss is made up of partially decomposed plants harvested from peat bogs. Peat absorbs water (some types hold 10 times their weight), yet it provides air space so roots don't suffocate. Many "soil-less" mixes are composed primarily of milled sphagnum or hypnum peat moss.
Some controversy exists over harvesting peat. Opponents say peat is drawn from a diminishing resource since natural peat bogs can take thousands of years to form. Peat proponents say that sphagnum and hypnum peat moss reserves are enormous and that harvesting and restoring the bogs, which is often required, make the harvest sustainable.
Coir is made from coconut fibers--a waste product in the coconut processing industry. It has similar qualities to peat moss--holding water well, yet providing drainage--and it comes from a readily renewable resource.
Some potting mixes, especially those for epiphytes (plants that don't need soil, such as some orchids and ferns), contain composted bark. It is excellent at increasing drainage, but holds few nutrients.
The white, puffy material in potting mixes that looks like Styrofoam balls is generally perlite, although some mixes actually use Styrofoam. Whatever the makeup, these white balls provide air space in a potting medium. Perlite is volcanic rock that has been heated and then "popped" like popcorn. It contains numerous pores that help water drain through a potting mix quickly.
Vermiculite, which generally has a shiny, golden appearance, comes from the mineral mica. Like perlite, the mica has been heated until it expands, which is why vermiculite helps "lighten" a soil. However, like peat moss, vermiculite also helps hold water in a potting medium. Vermiculite comes in different grades. One grade is used as insulation; others are for horticultural purposes.
Horticultural sand is composed of tiny pieces of rock. Just like sandy soil outside, sand improves drainage. If you want to add sand to a medium, use horticultural grade sand and not beach sand to prevent contamination. Plants that do well in a potting medium that contains a large amount of sand include cacti and succulents.
Since container-grown plants rely on regular watering to survive, some mixes contain polymers to hold moisture. Polymers, which may look like tiny plastic marbles, act like sponges. They absorb and hold water when the medium is moist, but release it back into the soil when dry. This helps maintain a consistent level of water for plant roots. Several different brands and forms of polymers are available at local nurseries.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights take the field this weekend against the Georgetown Hoyas for their final Big East matchup of the season, and the team will be sporting new-look Cascape Pro7 lids with sweet decal work from Zima Gear.
The all-red lid features a red chromanium face mask, and the decal kits features a chrome-finished silver R logo on each side outlined in black. The vent decals are also silver chrome with black outlining and the back panel features the same color pattern with "Rutgers" text, with each player's number in silver below that. The Scarlet Knights will look sharp, and they'll also be showing support for their head coach Brian Brecht.
Zima Gear has pumped out some great looking work this year, and you can get caught up on it here. For more college equipment and apparel, visit the NCAA Gear section. For more from Cascade, see here.

In the messy wake of the BP Gulf of Mexico disaster, three giants of the oil industry—the aforementioned British Petroleum, perennial favorite Halliburton and Transocean—were butting heads and looking to stick each other with the bulk of the blame for the spill as they faced the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on Tuesday. —KA
The Guardian:
With at least 4m gallons of oil now fouling the Gulf, the executives of BP America, which owned the well, Transocean, which owned the sunken Deepwater Horizon rig, and Halliburton, which cemented the well, were involved in a desperate attempt to avoid taking direct blame for the 20 April incident.
As the Energy and Natural Resources committee hearing got underway, Senate staffers joked it could be subtitled Scenes from an Execution, with a grilling due from the senators. But some of the worst damage may well have been done by executives themselves, as the three companies all tried to shift the responsibility.
AP / Gerald Herbert
The logos of Transocean and BP are seen on the derrick of the Development Driller III, which is drilling a relief well at the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Platform across a 9 foot span
I am trying to build a platform on my boatlift in South Florida.
The platform will be submerged in salt water periodically.
The dimension of the platform will be 16' X 42".
It will be placed on the Aluminum beams of a boat lift.
I will be using pressure treated wood.
Possibly 3 peope will be on the platform at one time.
What is the wood dimension I need?
Will 2X6's on edge 3' apart be OK for the 9' span.
Will 1X4" flat with a 3" overhang for the 40" span.
Do I need to go to 2 X 8 or 2 X 10 and/or will 3 cross members be better.
Should I go to 2X6 for the the 40" span.
Thanks for any suggestions
For your joists, 2x8 pressure treated Southern Pine on edge every 20" (3 total). If you want to use 2x6 pt Southern Pine on edge, space them every 8" (5 total).
For your decking, use 2x6 material, not 1x4.
Using stainless steel hardware, properly fasten your joists to your beams and properly fasten your decking to your joists. Obey all local codes.

Billy Bennett missed three field goals and Jennings was burned for the game-winning touchdown in Georgia's 17-10 loss to LSU 11 weeks ago. However, instead of being blamed and ostracized by their teammates, they have been uniformly embraced.
"I talked to (Jennings) after that play," Jones said. "I
told him to
get over it. That happens in football. There was no fault or blame put
on him. We took the loss as a team. We don't blame anybody at Georgia.
"It's the same way (with Bennett). Billy has bailed us out a lot of
times. If it wasn't for Billy we probably wouldn't be in the SEC
Championship game last year and this year. There's no finger pointing or
anything going on around here. That was always disrupting the team.
That's all gone, we're so successful now."
The No. 5 Bulldogs (10-2) have been successful despite that loss in
Baton Rouge and on Saturday they get a rematch with the No. 3 Tigers
(11-1) in SEC Championship game in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. For
Bennett and Jennings, it's a chance at redemption, not that they seem to
need any in the eyes of their teammates.
"Until you said that, I had forgotten that was the game Billy
struggled in," Coach Mark Richt said earlier this week. "Billy's a
kicker. He's made many, many clutch kicks for us."
Outside the locker room, it's a different story, and Bennett and
Jennings realize all eyes will be on them to see if they can erase those
blemishes on their record.
"People like to look at certain players and certain plays,"
said. "That's something you have to deal with at this level. I don't
think it bothers me, and I don't think it bothers Tim."
Bennett hit his first field goal in the first game, a 33-yarder that
gave Georgia a 3-0 lead. He then hit a 43-yarder but that play was
erased by offsetting penalties. His next attempt sailed wide right and
his day never got any better. Early in the second quarter, he missed
another one narrowly to the right, and then he hit the left upright on
an attempt with 44 seconds left in the first half.
"I just laughed because it couldn't get any worse," he said.
"I'm not
going to say I wasn't down and out about it. It was a big part of my
life that went down the drain for a while."
Bennett quickly got back on track, hitting three of four the next week
against Alabama, and, overall, he is having a standout senior season. He
leads the nation in field goals per game (2.25) and is second in the SEC
in field goal percentage (79.4). He has hit nine in a row and 19 of 22
since the first LSU game.
"I'm definitely more confident going into this game because I've
kicking well lately," he said. "I'm a little more focused."
Bennett's teammates defended him then and continued to do it this
"I might mess up five or six times in a game, but you don't see
defensive end David Pollack said. "Billy has won so many games for us
over his career, it's incredible. End of the line, I'd definitely want
Billy kicking. There's no doubt. I'd rather Billy kick than any kicker
in the country."
Jennings, who let Skyler Green get behind him for a 34-yard touchdown
with 1:22 left in the first game, got the same kind of support from his
teammates, but it was a different story when he returned home to
Orangeburg, S.C.
Although Jennings was crushed after the play, his high school friends
took great delight in an ESPN The Magazine picture showing Green's
"I was behind him, in the background," Jennings said. "I
just took all
that and laughed at it. I can't show them it really hurt me because
they'll stay on me about it."
Since that game, Jennings has been moved into the starting lineup due
to the season-ending injury to Decory Bryant. He was the third corner
the last time and was matched up man-to-man against Green when Georgia
defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder called a blitz. The Tigers picked
up the blitz and gave quarterback Matt Mauck time to roll out and extend
the play, leaving Jennings on Green for an unusually long amount of
"The time clock in (Jennings) head went off and said, 'This play
be over by now,'" Richt said. "He peeked when he shouldn't have, and
got hurt. It's something that small."
Jennings was inconsolable. He called secondary coach Willie Martinez
the next week promising to rededicate himself and not let that happen to
him again.
"After the play I took it very personal," he said. "I felt
very bad
about myself because I let my team down. I was down on myself the whole
His teammates in the secondary, who realize they are only just a play
away from being in the background of a touchdown photo, have been his
staunchest allies.
"None of us got down on him because it could have been
any of us,"
safety Thomas Davis said. "I feel like Tim is really eager to go out
against LSU because of what happened. He wants to redeem himself."
Jennings and Bennett both get that opportunity.
"I didn't think I'd get a second chance," Jennings said.
if the last play comes down to it, it'll come down to me making the play
this time. It's not so much getting revenge but just coming out with a
Bennett/Jennings looking for redemption

A call for the government to buy American
(Cleveland) - U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio is pushing for passage of the Wear American Act.
Current law only requires federal agencies to purchase textile products that are 51 percent American made, but Brown's bill would require all textile products purchased by federal agencies to be made in the United States.
Brown claims this would create domestic jobs and potentially benefit local businesses.
Specifically, the Wear American Act would amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation to require Federal agencies to procure textiles and apparel articles-including the components for such articles-that are manufactured in the United States entirely from articles, materials, or supplies mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States.
Brown's effort follows recent press reports that have cited a lack of federal government oversight and disclosure as it relates to its purchase of products made overseas.
Brown says the federal government, spends more than $1.5 billion a year on foreign-made products, with too many made using child labor in substandard to intolerable working conditions.

Montana has been made a role model for the rest of the nation to follow thanks to the work Congressman Steve Daines has done with the North Fork Watershed Protection Act (see "One more step forward," March 13). The legislation, which has passed through the House, was started by a Democrat (Sen. Baucus), and Daines' opponent in the Senate who is in supports of this bill. Doing the legwork to get the legislation passed is a testament to Daines' dedication to bipartisanship. Daines has shown that he knows how to put Montana's well-being ahead of party politics. This is imperative to the young voters of Montana like me to continue to put our trust and faith in our elected officials. It's a rare scene when groups like ConocoPhillips and wilderness societies come together, but that's the kind of leader Daines is and the kind of leadership we can continue to rely on. Thanks goes to Rep. Daines for his great work protecting the North Fork!

The state of Israel has done an outstanding job of isolating itself from the rest of the world and the evidence mounts just about every day. Turkey has long been Israel's main supporter in the Middle East and the two nations for decades have conducted joint military maneuvers, but a proposed exercise was cancelled by Turkey. Prime Minister Erdogan told an interviewer from Al-Arabia he had bowed to the "will of the people" who wanted action against Israel for the invasion of Gaza. Turkey also signed a treaty of cooperation with Syria even though both nations several years ago were on the brink of war.
What exactly will it take to convince the people of Israel their present policy of antagonizing other nations is counter-productive to their national interests? Even Egypt and Jordan are upset at Israel's actions in areas like the west bank settlements and the invasion of Gaza. The future of Israel and its long sought quest for peace lies in working with moderate Muslims, not infuriating them by a selfish desire to do as they wish regardless of the cost to relations with other nations.

As planned in post #25, I went ahead and cleaned out the fuel filter today. There was quite a bit of crap, very similar to the stuff found when the truck began having
problems from contaminated fuel
over a year ago. See post
on page 2 and
on page 3 for reference images.
I washed everything out with water, dried it all up using shop towel and reassembled the filter.
Next item on the list was to check the fuel pressure. I went to Harbor Freight and swapped out my fuel pump test kit for a new one since mine was missing the t-connector.
I installed the t-connector in place of the fuel filter and hooked up the gauge to it.
I then performed the fuel pressure test three times. You can see the video of all three tests below.
The first time, fuel starting shooting out where the t-connector was because I had not clamped it down tightly enough. The gauge was showing 7 psi. I did rev the engine and it was hesitating. I loosened up the fuel hose to relieve pressure and reset the gauge to "0".
The second time there were no issues. I let the truck run for several minutes and revved it a few times and there was no hesitation. The gauge showed 7 psi. I again loosened up the fuel hose to relieve pressure and reset the gauge to "0".
I then did it a third time. Again, it showed 7 psi.
I did not get to do a volume test today because I did not have someone available to help me out so one could keep an eye on the fuel and the engine.

Manual Transmissions.
I marvel at the sheer scale of modern cities; thousands of strangers living completely separate lives bouncing into each other without so much as a second glance. Sardines in cans of concrete and iron.
Massive machines of metal and oil that move us at speeds many magnitudes more than our malleable mortal forms were ever meant to go. Every day we commute distances that our ancestors wouldn't travel in their entire lifetimes. Yet we expect these incomprehensibly complicated contraptions that convey us to continue perfectly every time, on time. And they usually do. We buy and sell them for prices that could provide food to an entire Bangladeshi village for a month.
Continent spanning networks of transmission lines, underwater cables stretching across entire oceans, radio waves and microwaves emitted and received in every pocket; billions upon billions of dollars and entire adult lives devoted to maintaining our ability to send a message across the globe in a split second when those same words would have taken months in our grandparents time. All so that under appreciative pricks like ourselves can send meaningless shit like "sup babe wanna hook up" to girls we've never even seen with our own eyes.
We all experience our own unique slice of this world; but that isn't good enough for me. I want to know more, to understand further, to delve into someone apart from myself. The truest cure for arrogance is to face the infinite breadth of that which you do not understand; that which you have yet to achieve. Through that complexity, I cling to humility.
I also think about cute cats, pretty girls, fast cars and sex. They're nice too.
If you can drive stick, because that is awesome and sexy.
If you can't drive stick, because I'd like to teach you.

Sweetwater doesn't just carry a full range of the best power protection gear in the industry, we put it to use every day. Without a quality power conditioner or voltage regulator, electrical problems can destroy your precious equipment in a flash. And while Sweetwater's in-house service department can fix just about anything, it's always better to safeguard against power-related damage.
First, you need enough surge protection to accommodate your total current draw. If you aren't sure how many amps that is, your Sweetwater Sales Engineer can help you sort it out. Next, check out the arrangement of the outlets. If you have to plug in several wall-wart power supplies, then you'll need to account for the space. Front panel displays can range from basic voltage overload indicators to full LCD readouts, and a set of pull-out lights can be seriously handy in dark control rooms.
Unlike standard power strips, even the most budget-friendly power conditioners Sweetwater recommends go far beyond basic power surges protection. Most models include electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) filtering. This removes noise from the line that can not only degrade your audio, it can ruin your recordings or live performances. More sophisticated noise filtering, such as Furman's Linear Filtering Technology (LiFT), can reduce or eliminate AC line noise entirely.
Sweetwater has put countless power conditioners into professional studios, and we know first hand that if you've invested heavily in your music gear, then basic power strips simply aren't enough. Their basic surge protectors use metal oxide varistor (MOV) circuits that break down over time and can completely fail to cut off high-voltage spikes. Professional power conditioners use designs such as transient voltage suppression (TVS) and advanced series mode (SM) systems to ensure better protection that won't degrade.
Most power conditioners don't stabilize line voltage, so you run live sound or use vintage gear with lower voltage-range tolerances, then you need a voltage regulator. Voltage regulators use a series of capacitors and detection circuits to correct for voltage fluctuations that can damage sensitive electronics. For even more critical studio applications, consider a balanced power system. These systems correct for both irregular voltage and DC offset between the positive and negative voltages. Not only do they provide superb protection, the cancel noise the same way balanced audio cables do.
Finally, if you're running a live rig with multiple power amps, then you should probably get a power sequencer. These devices protect your gear by automatically switching each of their circuits on at delayed intervals. This ensures that there isn't too great a draw on your service current all at once, which is the leading cause of power spikes that result from an overbalance as the current attempts to stabilize. Sweetwater recommends power sequencers to any engineer running multiple power amplifiers, making them a staple of live sound systems.
Sweetwater's Sales Engineers are regarded as the most experienced and knowledgeable professionals in the music industry, with extensive music backgrounds and intense training on the latest products and technologies. They are available to offer you personalized product advice any time you need it.

Harvest Shares Soar on Venezuela Oil Sale to Indonesia
Harvest Natural Resources Inc. (HNR) climbed the most since shares began trading in 1989 after the Houston-based company agreed to divest oil assets in Venezuela.
Harvest will sell its 32 percent stake in Petrodelta SA, a joint venture with Petroleos de Venezuela SA, to Indonesia's state-owned oil company PT Pertamina for $725 million in cash, the company said yesterday in a statement. The price is four times the company's market value yesterday.
"If you do the simple math of the net proceeds to the company after they pay taxes and transaction costs, the deal is worth approximately $14 a share, and the company still has assets in Gabon in western Africa which are worth $5 a share or more," Patrick Goff, a senior analyst at First Capital Alliance LLC in Chicago, said yesterday in a telephone interview.
Harvest rose 87 percent to $9.12 at the close in New York as 10.2 million shares changed hands.
The company has had trouble getting regular payments from PDVSA, as its Caracas-based state oil company is known, and its assets in the South American country are undervalued because of political risk, John Malone, a senior analyst at Global Hunter Securities LLC in New York, said on March 6.
"An American company does not have any leverage whatsoever in terms of getting their capital out of the country," Zachary Prensky, an analyst with Little Bear Research in New York, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "The people getting in to Venezuela are governments."
Sale Terms
The sale agreement was announced after the close of regular trading in New York yesterday when Harvest shares hit a 52-week low of $4.85 in intraday trading. Wunderlich Securities Inc. today raised its price target on Harvest from $7.00 to $11.00.
The deal needs approval from shareholders as well as the Venezuelan and Indonesian governments, Harvest said in the statement, adding that net proceeds from the sale are estimated to be about $525 million after "deductions for transaction related costs and taxes."
"This deal is going to close 100 percent," said Prensky. "It's an enormous amount of money that will accrue to the Venezuelan treasury. They've got 200 million reasons to get this done."
Both companies will meet during the week of Sept. 5 to assess progress of obtaining governmental approvals and have the right to terminate the purchase agreement at that time, Harvest said in a filing to U.S. regulators.
China Interest
Harvest agreed not to solicit other offers and is allowed to enter into discussions with another potential purchaser if it receives an unsolicited bid as long as it gives Pertamina a chance to match a "superior proposal," said Harvest.
Some observers speculated that China National Offshore Oil Corp. or China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. (386) would be the likely buyer for Harvest's reserves in Venezuela, as the Asian country has invested billions of dollars to expand oil operations and political ties in Venezuela, said Thomas O'Donnell, an oil analyst affiliated with The New School university in New York.
"Whether in fact CNPC or Sinopec were involved at some stage, the fact that they have both not significantly increased their reserve holdings in Venezuela is a continuing sore point in their relationship with Caracas given Beijing's huge state- sponsored investments to date," O'Donnell said yesterday in an e-mailed response to questions.
'Good Price'
China's penchant for not wanting to pay a "good price" for Harvest's assets kept them out of the deal, and China has pinned its hopes for acquiring reserves in Venezuela on its close ties with PDVSA and government, said O'Donnell.
"A sale of a lucrative Venezuelan mature field by Harvest to Indonesia while China has made such huge investments with the Chavez government, is but another reminder for Chinese companies of their difficulties in Venezuela," said O'Donnell.
Petrodelta's six fields hold gross proved reserves of 195 million barrels of oil and 235 billion cubic feet of gas, according to Harvest's website.
Indonesia, which was in OPEC with Venezuela until three years ago when it began importing more oil than it exported and left the cartel, has been looking for a way to get involved in the South American country to tap reserves in the Orinoco heavy crude belt, Russell Dallen, head bond trader at Caracas Capital Markets in Miami, said in an e-mailed response to questions.
Both are leaders in the non-aligned movement and the investment allows them to secure their oil supplies on the cheap, Dallen said.
'Advantageous Time'
Venezuela surpassed Saudi Arabia this month to become the world's largest holder of proved oil reserves, a resource that President Hugo Chavez, who is facing an undisclosed type of cancer, promises to tap if he gets re-elected in October.
The South American country's deposits were at 296.5 billion barrels at the end of last year compared with Saudi Arabia's 265.4 billion barrels, BP Plc (BP/) said on June 13 in its annual Statistical Review of World Energy.
"This gets to the heart of the fact that outside of the U.S. everyone else is clamoring to get in," Prensky said. "People are trying to use the next year or so to get in there at an advantageous time. There's no other country outside of Saudi Arabia where you can have a lower drilling risk profile."

Steveston's Award Winning Realtor
Many of us are familiar with Sean Lawson, Steveston's award-winning realtor. If you haven't conducted business with his company, Steveston Real Estate, you likely have seen his smiling face on bus stop benches, or met him through his active involvement coaching sports, or seen him running along the dike, or noticed him driving through the village in his handsome 1968 baby blue California Special Mustang.
Lawson was born in Regina where he spent the first few years of his life. At age four he and his family set sail for Australia where they spent one year during his father's teaching sabbatical. They travelled back to Canada by boat and chose to make the West Coast their new home. All of his schooling took place in Richmond. He graduated from Richmond High School, and as a young man moved to Steveston.
Lawson's early career aspiration was to become an architect, however he soon realized it wasn't for him, and instead graduated from B.C.I.T.'s Building Technologies Program. At age 23, along with a business partner, he ventured into building houses on speculation as a general contractor.
In 1991 Lawson says the down turn in real estate affected their enterprise. He took some time off to travel, and upon returning attained his degree in Urban Land Economics from U.B.C.
Today, with over twenty years of experience in real estate sales, re-zoning applications, land assembly and other development projects, Lawson is a very busy and highly sought after realtor, however he indicates he is always happy to take on new clients. He is the only realtor at his office that handles both commercial and residential real estate.
Lawson personally recruits realtors for Steveston Real Estate. Based on their outstanding 2013 sales, he and his colleagues were honored to receive the title of top RE/MAX team in B.C. and they placed fourth in Western Canada.
In response to Richmond's culturally diverse community, a number of Steveston Real Estate's realtors are bilingual. Languages spoken include Cantonese and Mandarin, and licensed realtor/receptionist Mila Vagabova speaks Russian. Besides Lawson and the other realtors (Jess Baxter, Clayton Ho, Cher Lin, Lynn Sakai-Boden, Alisa Sakamoto, Dave Van Hoeke and Albert Wong), Grace Campbell is the office manager and Pat Guzzo (Lawson's wife) is the company's marketing manager.
In 2002 Lawson leased the upper floor of his current office building. After the green grocer below closed down he purchased the building and renovated it extensively to become a one-stop shop. It is a large and inviting space where the public is always welcome to drop by and meet with a realtor or inquire about listings. Open seven days a week, Lawson says there is always someone who will be happy to assist you. Currently on display is a model of The Pier at London Landing, the new development that he is excited to be involved with, along with Dana Westermark (Oris Consulting Ltd.) and Barry Cavanaugh (Penta Homes).
Lawson lives in the serene London Landing area. He finds the beautiful view of the Fraser River and Shady Island very appealing. Several times a week he enjoys running along the dike trail with his wife and they strive to run one half marathon each year. The couple have been together for twenty years. They have two daughters in elementary school who are actively involved in sports. Lawson thoroughly enjoys dedicating much of his free time to coaching their basketball and soccer teams.
He confesses to being an early bird by choice. Lawson commences his workday before 6:00 a.m. to ensure he does not have to work in the evenings, as he wants to play an active role in his children's lives. Prior to having kids he worked non-stop, and while he admits he could be a workaholic he wants to be around during these precious years with his girls. When it is time to unwind and take a break the family enjoys skiing, boating in the Gulf Islands and setting off to one of their favourite vacation destinations, Noosa Heads, Australia.
Lawson is one of Steveston's biggest fans. He says it is a great place to live and to raise a family. He notices how involved parents are in their children's lives, and with this focus on family values it resonates an old-fashioned feeling.
He appreciates the variety of architectural styles in Steveston, and enjoys that it is not a cookie cutter district. He is eager to see Steveston continue to grow and evolve, and at the same time he admits that the slow changes are partially responsible for the village's charm and retention of character. He attempts to support as many local businesses as possible. With his family's busy lifestyle they tend to dine out frequently and pick up food to take home. Lawson says that he has survived eating Steveston Bakery's soups.
Steveston Real Estate has been a proud member of the Steveston Merchants Association (SMA) since its inception in 2009. He applauds the SMA's board of directors for their ongoing work and proving themselves as a professional organization. Lawson believes the next logical step is to form a Business Improvement Area (BIA), which would require all businesses to become members. Lawson says it is a proven fact that BIAs are good for property and business owners. BIAs bring more customers to communities. As well, more revenue is earned from lease rates as business owners seek to locate in these attractive, well-organized and energized districts. Lawson says, "A BIA is the next step but there are challenges and hurdles to educate about the long term benefits. Think of it as a marathon rather than a sprint."
What is up next for Lawson? He is going to be involved in the redevelopment of East Richmond's Hamilton neighbourhood, which will be transformed through the creation of a city core. He says he will be devoting the next ten years of his life to this project and will open a second office there.
But have no fear; Lawson will continue to devote himself to Steveston, the community that he loves to call home.

Parks open, workers back in office after shutdown
From the Liberty Bell to Alcatraz, federal landmarks and offices reopened Thursday. Furloughed employees were relieved to get back to work — even if faced with email backlogs — but many worried about another such disruption in a matter of months.
"We'd hate to have to live through this all over again," Richard Marcus, a 29-year employee of the National Archives in Washington, said after the government shutdown finally ended.
Nationwide, from big-city office buildings to wilderness outposts, innumerable federal services and operations shifted back into gear after 16 days.
The U.S. Forest Service started lifting a logging ban on national forests. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services restarted the computerized system used to verify the legal status of workers. Boat trips resumed to Alcatraz, the former federal prison in San Francisco Bay, with [auth] 1,600 tickets snapped up by tourists in the first hour of business.
In Alaska, federal officials rushed to get the red king crab fishing season underway. The opening had been delayed because furloughed workers were not around to issue crab-quota permits.
National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis said all 401 national park units — from the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California to Acadia National Park in Maine — were reopening Thursday.
More than 20,000 National Park Service employees had been among the 800,000 federal workers sent home at the peak of the shutdown.
Visitors from around the world flocked to Yosemite National Park to see such famous sites as El Capitan and Half Dome after weeks of closure brought local economies to a near standstill.
At Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, employees were busy with reopening chores. They returned just in time to begin closing the parks up again for the winter in a couple of weeks.
At Philadelphia's Independence National Historical Park, one couple's long wait to see the Liberty Bell and other attractions finally drew to a close.
Karen and Richard Dodds of Oklahoma City were on a quest to see every national park in the U.S. They arrived in Philadelphia about three weeks ago in their motor home, visiting Valley Forge just before the shutdown. They stayed on in the area, awaiting a settlement.
"They didn't solve anything by this," Katie Dodds said of the temporary agreement in Congress that funds the government only through Jan. 15 and gives it the borrowing authority it needs only through Feb. 7. "The worst part is they'll do it again in January and February."
Among the many sites reopening in Washington were the Smithsonian Institution's museums and the World War II memorial on the National Mall, which had been the scene of protests over the shutdown.
Smithsonian spokeswoman Linda St. Thomas said the museum complex lost about $2.8 million in revenue during the shutdown.
The National Zoo was set to reopen Friday, though its popular panda cam went live Thursday morning, giving fans a view of a cub wriggling about as its mother, Mei Xiang, tucked her paws under her chin and watched.
Federal workers who were furloughed or worked without pay during the shutdown will get back pay in their next paychecks, which for most employees come Oct. 29.

Well, it proves McCain is no gentleman.
Being compared with Obama has ruined their reputations.
So living the life she has what does mom expect? Paris will be the subject of the late night talk show jokes, gossip columns and even a political ad.....
It's on Michelle Malkin's blog.
Hilton is a celebrity in the news constantly. As such, absent demonstrable malice and injury, she has little recourse to libel and slander laws.
I don't see how anyone could construe the ad as McCain 'selling' (in the normal definition of gaining material compensation) something using by using her image.
If she wants her money back, McCain should cut her a check immediately with thanks for the extra publicity.
Oh please...considering how Southpark has portrayed Paris Hilton (remember the contest between her and Mr. Garison's boyfriend?) I think the public domain thing wins out here.
Jeffrey Jolson Colburn (wannabe actor)
You know, having the hatred of the Hiltons might be good for his campaign.
Does this mean Paris is going to start showing up at Obama events? That would be funny.
Yeah - I'm sure Paris was really damaged by McCain's ads....
Public figure that has started in porn video and is a no talent media whore? Good luck with a jury on that one Paris.....if you show up on time for the trial that is.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Great. Now, after McCain gaffed and volunteered his wife for topless beauty pageant duty...we have one boob suing another.
She should sue Obama. He said it first.
Didn't Grandpa Hilton disinherit Paris because of her slutty ways?
