Trifecta CTS Turbo tune review
I ordered a Cadillac CTS Turbo tune from Trifecta a few days ago and got it loaded this week. I did a few runs at WOT on a "closed track" the night before and then loaded the tune in the morning after. I then went back out to the same "closed track" and ran a couple more times at WOT. I have to say from the seat of the pants the car is a lot faster! It was surprising to feel that much of a difference. The throttle response is great now, without that bit of pedal travel where it feels like its not doing anything. The car also doesn't gear hunt anymore or that transmission vagueness where the transmission feels like its constantly fighting you.
The only thing that I did not like is that the software loads fairly slow. It took about 10 minutes and maybe I should have started with a full charge on the laptop; I actually ran out of battery on the laptop while loading the tune.
After charging up the laptop again, I tried to reload the tune into the car and the Trifecta program said that it detected an interrupted flash attempt and just started right up. Mental note to self the next time I'll start with a full charge before I do anything like this. I really thought I bricked the car but I'm glad someone at Trifecta bothered to include this in there.
I'll be putting the car on the dyno soon if the dyno shop near me will get me an appointment and see what numbers it puts down.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/2/2014 (1221 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Boissevain border officers sniffed out the true value of a box of vitamins in the only noteworthy bust at that customs office in January.
According to the Canadian Border Services Agency, a Manitoba woman was returning to the country on Jan. 23 with a box of vitamins that she declated as worth $150. Although she initially told customs that she didn't have a receipt, she later coughed one up, which showed she had paid more than $750 US.
The woman was fined nearly $200; had she been forthright about the vitamins, she would have paid less than $50 in GST.
Elsewhere in the province it was also relatively quiet, although several Americans were turned away at the Emerson crossing south of Winnipeg after officers discovered their criminal records.
All told more than 110,000 people entered the province at the 16 land border crossings in southern Manitoba through the month, travelling in almost 41,000 cars and 21,800 commercial trucks.
Officers refused entry to 60 people for various reasons. They also issued 85 work permits, 14 study permits and granted permanent resident status to 121 people. Eight travellers had goods seized, resulting in $1,675 worth of penalties.

Teen Killed In Desert Hot Springs Shooting
16 Year Old's Murder Marks First Of 2012
DESERT HOT SPRINGS, Calif. - Just 25 minutes into 2012, the valley was marked with its first murder of the year. On Saturday, police responded to a call of someone being chased and shots fired on 6th street in Desert Hot Springs.
"We found out yesterday afternoon that it was my daughter's best friend's brother," Shannon Burkett said.
Her daughter, Kaylie Mendez, was close with the young victim and his sister, Jackie.
Family friends said the teenager was Marcello Moscosco -- but coroners have yet to confirm that and police are still not releasing his name as well.
The Mendezs' said Moscosco was 16 years old, and they'd see him around this area often. They wanted to add that they had a lot of fond memories of him.
"He used to walk last year and pick up my daughter and her friend from school every day, and walk them back to her friend's house," Shannon Burkett said.
Kaylie Mendez said Moscosco didn't have family in Desert Hot Springs.
"He didn't live with his parents anymore, because she got remarried and she lives in Apple Valley, so he lived down here either with his friends or his girlfriend," Shannon Mendez said.
Shannon Burkett and her family put up a memorial to remember Moscosco. They also contacted his mother.
"I was just sending her a message, just sending her my condolences, letting her know my girls were making a sign," Shannon Burkett said.
A cross to show how much the Mendez' miss him.
"It's unfortunate that he found himself in that position, wrong person, wrong people, wrong time. It's just sad to hear," Shannon Burkett said. "Usually when these things happen it's because someone is involved in that lifestyle, but as far as I know, he's a good kid."
Kaylie Mendez said Moscosco's sister hasn't said a lot.
"She's sad, and they don't know if they're having a funeral or not," Kaylie Mendez said.
"It's scary, its just sad that the world is coming to this," Shannon Burkett said.
No word yet on a motive or a suspect description. Desert Hot Springs police continue to investigate.

My history with shoes has been a long & frustrating one. In my early 20's (which seems SO long ago), I spent all my extra money on awesome shoes - not of the running variety and had not a worry in the world about my feet or what these "amazing" shoes were doing for me - or rather not doing for me.
When I got pregnant with my first child my feet went from "normal" to something that would have resembled a large bear. After months of searching I finally had my feet measured and I was a 4EE width, pretty much as wide as shoes are made - it left me with flip flops, knock-off uggs, and the widest, most elderly looking "running" shoes I could find.
While these shoes worked for a while and got me started on my weight loss journey it was time for them to go (my feet had finally returned to normal width). I received a pair of SKORA's to review on my blog and it was love at first wear - and I haven't looked back since that day. Since my shoe collection is virtually not even there - I'm hard pressed to find "dress" shoes when I need to go out, I've found some great ways to make my SKORA's transition from the gym to my casual wardrobe. The big plus is I save money and I'm always in ultra comfort. It's a win-win.
I've been known to coordinate my outfits to match my shoes - it's all about looking good while you run, lift, spin, bike, etc., right? So with the launch of the SKORA Spring collection I thought I'd put together some great options for taking your SKORA's from the gym to daytime wear. I hope you enjoy the looks I put together! I can't wait to rock my awesome new shoes all around town and I'll be in ultimate comfort and not to mention style.
Run Real.
Love the looks I put together? Find them here: Activewear USA Strut-This Old Navy GAP Lorna Jane

A Fellowship of Differents: Showing the World God's Design for Life Together Scot McKnight Hardback: Zondervan, 2015 [ This post is part of the Patheos Book Club] In the Slow Church book, John and I write: Let's pause for a moment to consider the great diversity of God's creation.

Justice that Leavens the World.
While in the DC area this week speaking and promoting Slow Church, I had the opportunity this morning to visit a friend of mine who works at International Justice Mission (IJM). I had the privilege of sitting in on IJM's daily prayer service today, where they shared various facets of their work and offered thanksgiving and requests in prayer. IJM is doing powerful work around the globe, diligently working for the justice of women, fighting the sex trade, working to end the violence that lies at the root of much poverty and injustice in the world.At the same time, I am reading Scot M … [Read more...]

Scot McKnight on the centrality of the local church.
Our fellow Patheos blogger has been stirring up some intense conversation with his recent post "Kingdom Work, Social Justice" (Be sure to read the comments). Here's the heart of the post: I'm all for "social" justice. I'm fighting the trend I see today of equating "kingdom work" with public sector social justice work. As if "kingdom" is something done outside the church. As I read the Gospels, Jesus' uses "kingdom" for himself/God as King, for his followers who enter into his kingdom vision, and for the ecclesial/social conditions created by those who follow Jesus and his kingdom vision. … [Read more...]

New Arrivals
It's a rare cook who wouldn't be excited by new arrivals at Williams-Sonoma. From the latest and greatest pasta and pizza tools to all the newest gadgets, you can count on an ever-expanding selection of exciting and innovative kitchen tools and equipment. Even if you love spending time in the kitchen, streamlining your efforts is a big benefit. New tools often have subtle shifts in design and features, which lighten the work load and help you produce even better results. You can rest assured that every new arrival will showcase the most professional qualities and designs to satisfy the most discerning cooks.
Even today's can openers feature new and exciting designs that help you in the kitchen. Instead of cranking on an old-fashioned handle to remove can lids, these can openers do the job with little effort on your part. Comfortable handles eliminate pressure while efficient blades exert the strength needed to cut through cans. Some designs even eliminate the sharp edges from the opened cans for extra safety. If you struggle with jars, we have solutions for you. A silicone jar opener expertly grasps lids so you can remove them with less effort.
Preparing main dishes takes a lot of prep work, and many cooks handle these chores every day to feed their families. Meat, poultry and seafood tools help you streamline your main dish preparation. A burger press shapes and molds perfect burgers of uniform size and shape. You can even stack the prepared burgers high with professional hamburger patty papers in between each while they wait to hit the grill. A grill press is an innovative tool that you use to cook meats evenly on a grill. The grill press is even an excellent tool for pressing grilled sandwiches during the cooking process. Roasting meat or poultry often requires frequent basting to infuse moisture. A bulb baster is the tool of choice for many cooks.
After a meal, add frozen desserts to the menu. Ice cream tools and pops are a winning way to satisfy your family's craving for cold and sweet treats. You can even create homemade ice cream in minutes with a special ice cream maker that makes an individual serving. By keeping the dish in the freezer, you're ready to make a single serving of ice cream at any time. If you keep several bowls in the freezer, everyone can make their own ice cream. When it's time to serve the ice cream, choose an ice cream scoop or a gelato paddle for spooning out the delicious goodness. In the unlikely event you have leftovers, a special storage tub keeps homemade ice cream at just the right consistency for serving right out of the freezer.
Cheese tools will get you shredding, grating and slicing with ease. These gadgets easily handle a variety of different cheeses, including firm, semi-firm, semi-soft and soft. A set of cheese tools makes it a simple task to prepare and serve a cheese platter to guests. When you want to infuse the best taste into your savory dishes, grating and shredding your own cheese is the only option. Professional-grade graters and shredders make these tasks simple.
Anyone who wishes to incorporate fresh fruits into a diet will need a collection of fruit and citrus tools. These innovative gadgets give you the ability to prepare a variety of fruits for recipes. From avocado cutters and mashers to an Italian tomato press, your work just got much easier even though you are using fresh ingredients. A cherry pitter effortlessly removes the pits from cherries and olives, while a variety of juicers let you collect the juice from various citrus fruits. Cooking has never been so exciting, thanks to both new arrivals and traditional gadgets available for the kitchen.

We've looked at a few products from Dutch company A.C.Ryan. Back in 2008 there was the ACR-PV72100 Playon! Network DVR, which was a well-featured if not spectacular HDD recorder for its time. However, by May 2009's Playon! DVR TV, straight media player devices like the Western Digital WDTV HD Media Player had moved the goalposts away from recorders, and with its lack of format support the Playon! DVR TV simply couldn't keep up.
Now A.C.Ryan is looking to fix that with the new Playon!HD media player, and if the specifications are anything to go by it's onto an absolute winner. It supports every video format in popular use, including not just MOV and MKV but also such rarities as ASF, FLV and RMVB, all at up to 1,080p over both HDMI and component - and for home cinema buffs there's even 1,080p 24 support. It caters to both Dolby and DTS audio (pass-through or down-mixed to stereo), features extensive audio codec and subtitle support, and offers both wired and wireless-n networking with NAS functionality, YouTube and BitTorrent. Uniquely, it can even read media from external CD/DVD drives!
So far, that pretty much makes it the most capable sub £150 media player we've reviewed, beating even the Popcorn Hour A110 and new WDTV Live HD. Best of all, it's quite affordable, with prices starting at £130. However - as the unfortunate ViewSonic VMP30 Digital Media Player proved - you can't always go by what the spec-sheet claims, so it's a good thing we're here to let you know if it's worth your hard-earned cash.
The Playon!HD comes with a very generous bundle. A highlight is the two-metre HiFX Evolution HDMI cable, which costs around £40 on its own. There are also component and composite video cables, and a USB A-B cable to hook the Playon!HD up to a computer. A compact, glossy black wireless USB dongle supporting speeds of up to 802.11n is available direct from A.C.Ryan and should soon be sold in UK shops for between £20-25.
Last though not least is the remote control, which together with the main unit has received a complete overhaul. It's still large, with a solid black plastic body that lies comfortably in the hand, but its buttons are completely different. However, though it fixes some quirks with the old layout, it adds a few new ones of its own.
For example, the tiny play, stop and volume buttons are now nestled between large green track control buttons, making them hard to get at as well as increasing the chances of stopping your video when you only meant to turn up the volume.
Factor in other annoyances such as the 'pause' button being too far from the 'play' one, and we'd say the old remote definitely comes out the winner by comparison, even though this version's soft but sturdy buttons offer good feedback. The remote still uses AA batteries so you can swap the provided set with some rechargeable ones when they die.
Minimalist design is a good thing. If you need or want to walk over to the Media Player to operate it, you would defeat the purpose of these devises... allowing the couch potato to be a sloth on his/her sofa of choice with a bag of crisps or pizza and a beer or two.
Clearly the remote sucks, but since when have manufactures given to much thought in that department. I have the WDTV Media Player and I hate it's (not very responsive and minute) remote control. The only remote control I've come across which for me is a perfect marriage of form and function is Sky's.
Now for the rant! I would happily choose a well equipped Media Player like this, but when will manufactures get the message "it's a about software stupid". Most Media Players will now play most file formats, but for the masses the interface is KEY factor for purchasing along with wifi.
I use my WDTV almost every day and with that amount of usage, you need to make a Media Player's operation a user friendly experience and not like finding yourself in Windows 3.1!
@HDRE: Awww, don't pick on poor Win3.1 - after all, it gave us http://ski.ihoc.net/
Bought one of these the other day and I'm very happy and impressed with it (I originally bought a Asus o!play but it wouldn't work with my TV). Handles every format I've thrown at it and the NAS functionality is definitely a huge bonus. Design wise I personally think it's pretty slick, the menus are a bit basic but it gets the job done.
jamesf, did you try mkv on this player?
How about torrent ? Can we use it like a NAS ?
i'm looking at the intructions it gave it to me but no book instructions
Actually I've use a lot of media player b4, But never try Asus, Ac Ryan or WD.
I have to buy a new media player now and I probably go with Asus but someone say it sucks i.e it turn off for no reason whatsoever.
OK, My experience with media players are those made in china type, it can play rmvb, mkv and any format u throw at them and even include bay for internal hard disk though it had its flaws but mostly
Tolerable BUT what I can't tolerate is the remote control quality. It work fine for the first few months and the it nose dive and after a year I can't use it anymore. So for those interest in buying media player please go for Branded or tested products. Although The media player may be Good But Once the remote gone u have BIG problem, No Audio change, No Subtitle Language change, No Fast forward/ Rewind, etc
I juz bought ACR-PV76120. I hv problem to do the tv setup. Cant detect the channel scan. Anyone can help?

Jan. 26, 2012
Knoxville native Brandon Fickey is off to a fast start to his dual match career. No questions there.
The hometown freshman went 3-0 at No. 2 singles and 2-1 in No. 2 doubles in the Vols' opening weekend at Goodfriend Tennis Center.
He started the season with a 6-1, 6-3 win over Memphis' Johnny Grimal, a player who had beaten him during the fall season. He also provided the clinching win in Tennessee's 5-2 victory over 15th-ranked Georgia Tech.
To start off the weekly Q&A features, Fickey talks first dual match, his strict superstitions and his hypothetical band.
Q: What was your first dual match like?
A: I came out very nervous in doubles and I didn't have the best showing. Thank goodness courts 1 and 3 got the two points for us there. I went out for singles and Coach Woodruff told me that I needed to tell myself I wasn't nervous. I ended playing a really great match against a guy I lost to pretty badly in the fall. After I got the first match under me, I was good to go.
Q: In doubles, did Edward Jones kind of help keep you calm? Was he able to offer you any advice based on his experiences?
A: He has a lot of experience. He keeps me in perspective out there on the court. He definitely has more court awareness than I do. It's good to have someone that's been there and done that before out there with me on the court.
Q: Did you feed off the fans' energy during your matches? A: I love playing in front of people I know or really just playing in front of anyone that's going to come. I really get into it; it's my personality.
Q: I noticed you got emotional a couple of times during your matches. Is that the crowd, your teammates or just something you do?
A: I've got a very fiery personality sometimes especially when I want to win. Sometimes I do lose my cool every once in awhile. You can't let that effect you for too long. If I do well, I'm going to celebrate for myself and try to get the team going. I'm going to encourage myself to do better.
Q: When you're playing a match, what do you think about? Are you thinking about strategy or are you just playing based on instincts?
A: You definitely need to think. You have to think strategy, but it's tough with all the noise and the crowd and everything going on. I do think a lot about what I'm doing on the next point and where I want to go with the match. We talk to the coaches about how to play a certain guy, so obviously it's in the back of your mind. You have one or two go-to shots prepared for when you're in a tight situation.
Q: What was it like getting your first dual match win? Did you feel relieved or was it just a feeling of joy?
A: After I won, I was happy for myself. But it's a team thing. We lost that first one. That gave me more motivation to win the second and third dual matches for myself. I try to take care of what I can control on my court. Hopefully the rest of the team can feed off me or I can feed off them. If someone's down, someone brings the other up.
Q: The team really bounced back well after the loss on Friday. What spurred that? Did you guys have a meeting and talk about it at all?
A: We all sat down. We didn't have long to talk about it because we had a match right after that. Coach Sam Winterbotham told us that match didn't make our season. We couldn't afford to go 0-2. It was either 1-1 and go from there or 0-2. The first match had already happened; we had already lost--why not go out there and win the next one?
Q: Sunday you got a good win over a ranked opponent in Georgia Tech. How big was that for the team?
A: We had a nice hit on Saturday as a team and we talked about the match. They're a very good team with some very good players. That was an opportunity for us to show we are good and that we are better than losing to Memphis. That was the best we played all weekend on all 6 courts.
Q: Do you have any superstitions when you're playing?
A: If I win a point with a ball, I like to use that same ball again. I'm very OCD and neat. My water bottles are both sitting right next to each other. If I have another shirt, it's folded and sitting right next to that. I like to have my bag to the left side of the bench. I'm pretty superstitious.
Q: That's a good lead-in for my next question, because I've heard some guys say you are pretty OCD off the court as well.
A: I get that from my dad. My bed is always made, there's no trash on the floor, all my clothes are folded. I put polos with polos and t-shirts with t-shirts. I get a lot of crap for it, but I can't help it. That's just how I am.
Q: Some people would call that organized. Would you prefer that over OCD?
A: I'm very organized. I've always been that way. Everything's in its spot.
Q: When we talked in December, we talked about your ambidexterity. Do you think you could ever swap hands in the middle of a point if you needed to?
A: I've thought about it. Sometimes I wish I would have always played left-handed. That's way too far gone now. My backhand is one of my best shots so as far as I'm concerned, I'm doing fine without it.
Q: Do you think you could ever swap and surprise an opponent?
A: If I'm on the dead run on the backhand side, I've done that before just to get back into the point. I don't use it often, but I've used it once or twice in my career.
Q: Tonight, Roger Federer takes on Rafa Nadal. (Nadal won in four sets.) That's a big tennis rivalry. Which one do you prefer?
A: I'll definitely, definitely take Nadal. He's a guy who gets the crowd going. If he's down, he's still fighting for every point. He never gives up; that's what makes him so tough to beat.
Q: If you could pick any player's ability--like Federer's forehand--which ability would you pick?
A: I wouldn't take a stroke, but I would take Roger Federer's court awareness. He seems to take the least amount of energy to get to a spot on the court. He's so smooth with everything. I think that's the biggest part of tennis sometimes. Just knowing where to be is so important, and I think that falls under court awareness.
Q: What are some of the things you do when you aren't doing schoolwork or tennis?
A: I love to play the drums. I've played for about 10 years or so now. I started when I was 7. When I'm at home, I love to do that. As far as the summer, I've always volunteered at the hospital in the emergency room with my mom. Medicine has always been really interesting to me.
Q: Have you recruited anyone from the team to form a band? Who would be in it?
A: Colton Norton has jokingly mentioned it. Peter (Nagovnak) plays--who knows what all he plays. Ed's played violin before. I play drums. Hunter Reese likes to sing, even though it's pretty bad. We could get something going if we wanted to.
Q: Violin, classical piano and drums would be an interesting group.
A: It's kind of like our team: a lot of different personalities put together but it all works out.
Q: What kind of genre would you guys play with that group?
A: I would want to go country, but Colton and Ed hate country. Reese is more of a R&B guy. I have no idea what we could do with a violin and drums. I have no idea; who knows what music we would put out. It would be terrible to a lot of people, but we'd find a way to make it sound good to us.
Q: You like country, but I doubt country music is very popular on the team. Do some of them not appreciate country music as much as you?
A: I've done my fair share to introduce it to Mikelis, Peter and Trym, who I live with. Peter and Mikelis have taken it on a little bit. Ed and Colton hate it. I'm trying to get them to like it more, but Ed can't understand it. Growing up in the South, it's what I like.
Q: Have you seen any good movies recently?
A: I just watched Warrior. It's about two brothers who get separated and end up fighting each other in a tournament. There's a lot of determination in that movie; it's a good, emotional story.
Q: If you weren't playing tennis, what other sport would you like to compete in?
A: Baseball. I actually chose to play tennis over baseball when I was 11 or 12. Some of the guys on the baseball team I grew up playing with. I miss it. I wish I would have played longer.
Q: I asked you this before, but it didn't make the media guide. Will you grow out your hair so you'll look more like Screech from Saved by the Bell?
A: Yeah, I think I might. They want me to so they can yell that at me at dual matches. I think I might let it grow out in the spring just to have fun with it, but sometimes when it's hot I like to have my hair shorter. I do look like Screech sometimes, I'll be honest about that.

It was one of those symbolic questions that pollsters toss into the mix when probing fault lines inside political coalitions.The Pew Research Center recently asked, as part of its "Beyond Red vs. Blue" political typology project, whether voters agreed or disagreed that it is "necessary to believe in God to be moral."Among the voters called "Solid Liberals," one of three major Democratic Party camps, only 11 percent of those polled said "yes."

Pope, patriarch, primacy and the press
The Holy Land pilgrimage by Pope Francis contained plenty of symbolic gestures, photo ops and sound bites crafted to slip into broadcasts, ink and Twitter.There was his direct flight into the West Bank, the first papal "State of Palestine" reference and the silent prayer with his forehead against the concrete security wall between Bethlehem and Jerusalem, near graffiti pleading, "Pope, we need some 1 to speak about justice."

A growing hole in the middle of American Jewry
There is a Yiddish saying about the mysteries of faith, family and fellowship that, loosely translated, proclaims: "You cannot make Shabbat by yourself.""The point is that you need the presence of other Jews around you to live out the dictates of your Jewish beliefs," said sociologist Steven M. Cohen, of the Jewish Institute of Religion at Hebrew Union College.Shabbat creates that circle of support.

Vanessa Hudgens: From the Gym to the Psychic Shop
Keeping up on her slender figure, Vanessa Hudgens was spotted getting in a morning workout in Studio City, California on Thursday (April 3).
Thumbing through her phone with her head down, the former "High School Musical" star walked by the shutterbugs wearing baggy black sweatpants and a grey racer-back tank top with bright shoes and a white hat.
After her fitness session, Miss Hudgens changed into a boho chic ensemble before heading out to a local psychic/spiritual store where she picked up a few items including some incense.
Meanwhile, Vanessa took to Facebook earlier in the day to post a four-square picture of herself in a flower printed maxi dress while looking off to the side with a slight smile on her face, adding a caption which read: "Sun cafe photo shoot lol by Stella Hudgens".
On the business front, the 23-year-old's latest film, "Spring Breakers," follows four college girls who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. The movie is expected to hit theaters next year.
Enjoy the pictures of Vanessa Hudgens out for a morning workout in Studio City (May 3).

Nice room, nice staff and ok restaurant. Nice surroundings There was a big wedding at the hotel, and this generated a lot of noise. Outdoor PA-system and dj played loud music until 2:45 in the morning. Could not sleep because of this. No ac in room, missed it because it it was really hot. Will not stay here again because of the noise. I'm sure it is better in weekdays.

Rumor: 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro shipping times slip, refreshed units rumored around WWDC
Date: Thursday, May 14th, 2015, 07:20
Category: Hardware, MacBook Pro, News, Processors
It's the shipping times that tend to give away when a new product is in the works.
Over the past several weeks, the shipping times for Apple's 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro have increased, jumping from one to two weeks and then to two to three weeks.
With the Worldwide Developers Conference taking place next month and Apple typically announcing new products at this event, Intel's current Broadwell chip is rumored to be in short supply. As a result, it's unknown as to whether Apple will refresh the 15-inch notebook, which was last updated in the summer of 2014.

Well, Today I finally got this up on themeforest, and it marks my first project with Wordpress and my first upload to themeforest
Anyways, what I was hoping for was some 'constructive-criticism' for the theme. I know you can't see all of the theme, but anything anyone contributes is very helpful for any future projects!
Thanks, Jordan
Hey Jordan!
Nice theme, and welcome to the Forest!
Quick thing though, generally discussing a file, and linking to it used to be very iffy, but recently it became something that is allowed but only when done in the "item discussion" section of the forum. This is set up so that people do not get some unfair advert advantage over the rest, and also to prevent the forum from filling up with "hey check out my new file" threads.
No worries, just letting you know. I move the thread for ya.
Welcome! Mark
Thanks, didn't realize that. Jordan
I like the way the sidebar is done, same goes for the footer. The way you display the links to various social websites is also great, but the link color is too dim, it needs more contrast.
In my personal opinion, the typography needs a lot of work. The headings look like they were forced inside a box that is too small – they need whitespace above and beneath them. Also, you should pay attention to the fact that the italic style is not meant to be applied to whole blocks of text – it makes the text a lot less legible.
The navigation somehow irritates me. I'm not sure, but it might be the height of the brown bar behind it, or maybe there is too much whitespace between the tagline and the navigation bar.
I don't like the color scheme, but that is of course very subjective. I just don't think there is enough contrast between the colors purple and brown. Used sparingly, they can be alright (see for example the left sidebar here on themeforest), but when they are used so much in a design, it becomes too much. Make the content area stand out from the background more.
Other than that, it looks like an awesome theme! Keep up the good work.
Ah! Sweet. This is exactly the small stuff that I needed to know.
Thanks a bunch Mads,

Waterbury, Conn. – Naugatuck Valley Community College partnered with Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty (CT-5) in the local launch of the first annual House Student App Challenge, a national competition promoting high school STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) student engagement and innovation in mobile programming. The competition was open to all high school students who live in or are eligible to attend public schools located in the 5th District.
On April 5, 2014, the College hosted an App Workshop led by NVCC computer programming instructor Charles Lasky for approximately 50 Waterbury students to learn about app design and actually try their hand at some basic coding. Students were invited to enter the competition individually or in teams of up to four students, by submitting a YouTube video explaining their application.
"Empowering students to create and acknowledging their hard work and completion is a powerful way to engage critical thinking and problem solving skills, particularly in the STEM field," said President Daisy Cocco De Filippis, Ph.D.
The winners of the fifth district were announced on May 18 at NVCC.
This year's winners are:
1st Place:
Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy team for their app, "Emergency Messenger."
Team members included Sean McCarthy (New Britain), Kristopher Marques (West Hartford), and Eliot Serrano (East Hartford). Jim Veseskis, Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy Technology Coordinator, was the team's advisor.

WOW, my 1st birthday was amazing. Mommy and Daddy invited lots of our friends, gradma and grandpapa were there too. We had cake and lots of yummy food. I cant beleive how many presents we got. My boyfriend Brier was there but my brother kept trying to bite him, he says I'm to young for a boyfriend. By the end of the day Iwas pooped from all the excitement and playing chase with all the other pups. I dont really understand why I had a birthday, but I sure cant wait till I have another one!!!!
Well, where should I start.......... from my bio as you all know I was born with demodex. It is atype of mange that can either be easily manageable or a big pain in the bottom. Mine was a bit difficult, I am now almost 11 months old and just finally got my 1st CLEAN skin scrape. Do you know what that means......... no more shots, 8 hours tar baths, no more weekly trips to the vet and no more oral medications. WOW this is GREAT. I have all of my hair and just in t me for winter. I am so excited and so is my mommy and daddy. Now they say all I have left to do is to be fixed. ummmmmm.................I wonder what that means? I will let you know as soon as I find out.

I was a full B before I had breast surgery done and was looking to be a full D. When I did my consult the doctor said he didn't think I had enough skin for a full D so I was bummed about that. The day of surgery I asked him one more time if he thought he could sqeeze in a D and he said he would do his best. Well I came out of recovery with a full D!!! I was so happy!! I did the under the muscle procedure with saline (better for your body if one happens to bust) and I have had them for a little over 2 years and I still LOVE them!!! I actually wanna go back for a bigger set! I have had no ripples or stretching. My recovery was awesome, I was a full time college student and a mom and even though they don't recomend it I went to class the next day at 10:00 in the morning!

There are only 7 holes not 9. Vandalism has destroyed this course.
by lionheart22 on Aug 7, 2011 at 10:13am
Great course for intermediate and lower. No concrete tee pads so that is a definite negative. Also, people tend to "invent" their own tee pads. #4 tee pad is in the grove of trees near #1. #6 tee pad is at the back of the column of trees, not next to the walkway like most people will play it because they feel it is easier. Pros: course is rarely overcrowded. Good challenge. Cons: Littering has become a problem and the city is threatening to shut down the course so don't litter. Playground near #7 so be aware of kids.
by Joshuah on Oct 7, 2010 at 5:46am
Good 9 hole. #8 is fairly challenging, but most are easy bird or par. Nice course.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by MotownPride, Oct 5, 2012.
Here we go again! Who is interested?
Count me in!!
Good to see you around, Mo. Count me in
I am in and registered.
Thanks detteam. I'll try to make more of a presence in the forums during the season. My life has been jam packed with activity for the past two years, but my love for Detroit Pistons basketball has never faltered. I need another Fantasy Championship on my mantel. I'm ready to rock!
would it be possible to have the draft an hour or 2 earlier? Otherwise, it would be 2 o' clock in the morning over here...
I'd also like a slightly earlier draft if possible... would be 1am here in England.
No problem. We will set up a draft time in a more democratic fashion. That time was simply assigned to get something up and going. Once we get a full slate of GMs, I will set up some rivalries for rivalry week. (Let me know here if there is someone you consider a "rival") Then immediately afterward, click the randomize draft order button so the draft planning can begin.
Question: What makes for an "advanced" fantasy bball? There are about 3 of us interested in a novice league, but it looks like we won't have enough. How about we just join this one instead?
Here are last year's results if anyone forgot.... 2011-Advanced Basketball League Pf.com
lol at the signature...but you misquoted me
I just looked at your smack talk again. I copied and pasted your quote, character for character.
Advanced simply means experienced players. We also do daily lineups which I think is different from how novice has been setup traditionally. I wouldn't worry about interest in the NOVICE League as there always seems to be enough people to play in the end. Should the idea of playing with an experienced group of players who have played here since 2005 interest you, come on down! I've already sent out an invitation to everyone who played last year. We typically play with 14 teams. So far 9 GMs have signed up. If any of the other GMs fail to respond in the next few days I'd be more than happy to add you guys. Inbox me your email addresses. Thanks!
Teams from last year who have yet to sign up: Ballaholics Budivelnik GuacNFreeThrows Wart's Suh Stompers Webz Wombatz
Gotcha thanks. I'll post in the other forum to make sure the other guys also see it.
*raises hand* Ooh ooh me, Mr. Kotter (In honor of Arnold Horse shack who died two months ago).
Matchups for Rivalry Week: Motown Prides vs Rancho Drebabys (add to this list or I will just assign you a rivalry)
Awesome! Welcome back dude! :D Shoot me your email again!
nice, finally someone who appreciates my trade offers
Neigh whinny whinny neigh!

Below is one of the very last photos (1 of 3) that I shot of my good friend Jose, approximately five minutes before he lost his life in a horrific accident this past Saturday evening, October 7, 2006. The time stamp on the image was 16:46:38 (4:46:38); however, my camera clock was five minutes fast; therefore, the actual time was 4:41:38 PM. My cell phone call log indicates that I dialed 9-1-1 at 4:47:03 PM CDT.
Jose was a friend of a little over ten years, first meeting in the New Orleans Delta Region SCCA Chapter. We would later serve on the Board of Directors; he the Regional Executive, I the Editor. He ran in BP in a Corvette, I in CSP in an RX7. He would later run in SS in a Viper, then Z06, then most recently in his new 2006 Viper GTS coupe. He was extremely generous and had a great sense of humor.
We met up with Jose at the road races Saturday afternoon at our local track, No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, Louisiana - about an hour southwest of New Orleans. We were on our way home when we caught up with Jose traveling on La 3127, a relatively smooth, two-lane black-top road on a clear blue, early fall evening, the sun lowering in the sky behind us. I shot three frames, and then we passed him by to settle in for the ride home. He waved at Shawn (my 18 yr old son) and me and gave a big smile and we cruised on with him and another friend in tow.
A few minutes later Jose came around us on the left in the northbound lane, heading south and continued in that lane, not moving back into our lane after passing us. There were no other cars in front of us. He had cleared us by at least two hundred yards when I first saw the oncoming vehicle in the north bound lane; the same lane Jose was traveling south in. We kept waiting for him to move back into our lane, but he didn't – we'll never know why. I began slowing and moving to the shoulder to allow all the room possible for what I feared was about to happen. At the last possible moment, with maybe 100 - 200 feet between the rapidly closing vehicles, they both moved in the opposite directions - each to their respective right, with Jose coming across our lane, leaving the road onto the grass becoming airborne over a ditch, cart wheeling at least once, shedding two corners of the suspension and all of the Viper's body panels and glass and coming to rest on its roof. And he was gone. The other vehicle continued on down the road, thankfully, undamaged, although I'm sure, its occupants shaken.
Between Shawn and me we have taken hundreds of photos of Jose over the past ten years at various autocross events and club gatherings. We had been talking as recently as this past Friday night (my 47th birthday) about getting together to shoot his new car, if we could only find the time. Even when we met up at the track his car was so dusty from driving down the shell access road to where we were shooting in Turn 1 that I didn't bother taking any photos. If I had only known things were going to turn out this way, huh? Strangely enough, my Yugoslavian friend Coco told Shawn and I no less than five times Saturday, in his best broken English, "Man, don't stress out over money and work and all that stuff. Life is too short. We are only here for a few minutes." I just laughed and told him, "If I had your money I would worry a lot less." When Coco returned to the accident scene later that evening I couldn't help but think how prophetic his words now seemed in light of what happened later that day.
Respectfully, I ask that you do not deteriorate this thread into a "crash" topic. That is not what this is about. I wrote this to provide a story behind a photo that I shot this past weekend. Its importance being that it is the last photo of my friend…period. You never know when you are taking your last photo so make them count.
Jose was a dentist. I always called him "Doc" out of respect for his profession and what it took to get him there.
Godspeed, Doc, Godspeed.
EDIT: I revised the photo to correct a greenish color cast and the grammatical error of the text. cvb

No engine sound, but burrying the speedo in 2nd, this was shifting into 3rd at 4,000RPM (about 92mph) I did, once push it to 4,400RPM in 2nd... kinda scary and very loud... that is when I topped out the car at 110mph (GPS verified) in 2nd gear.... never again though, stock 425 really dosn't like that... she will however cruise all day wide open in 3rd, RPM is about 3,700 and it'll maintain 108mph... not too shabby :)
This is simply putting it in drive and hitting the gas... notice how it shifts into 3rd a whole lot sooner then 2nd? (3,400RPM vs. 3,900RPM) really isn't a big deal, but I'll tell ya, on the highway for passing, accelerating, or just messing around, running 2nd gear right to 4,000RPM (speedo burried) really gets the car moving a whole lot faster.
This is just running first gear.... it is easy to see how much the 2.28 gears hold the car back...
Here is a random driving video with some speed runs.... this was done to actually test the "compressed MiniDV" mode on the camera... basically the best blend for high quality video/sound, but still a realitivly short file size... this is a pretty high quality video (tho not the best) but considering it is almost 12minutes long and only 61mb of space, I am very happy. Seeing this makes me miss NY :( That was my home town for 18 years... ah well..... still nice video IMO. This was taken on the MiniDV tape itself, the others were on the SD card.
and... perhaps my favorite movie of the '79 DeVille... can't hear the engine THAT much, because I really didn't need to get on it, let alone open the secondaires... but still, hella cool :)

What is the SF Bay Area Renters' Federation?
SFBARF is an unincorporated club of pro-building, pro-density renters. Housing shortage is bad for renters (and good for homeowners, incidentally). High prices are merely a symptom of the underlying shortage. Fixing prices won't solve the shortage problem. Without an increase in overall yearly production of housing in the Bay Area, we will continue to suffer from displacement, crowding and exploitation from landlords. For more information read an interview here with the founder of SFBARF. Even more press can be found here.
San Francisco Residential Nexus Analysis: Not legally adequate. Read why here.
Here is the slideshow referenced in the video.
How to start your own political club
The national news might be depressing, but here in the Bay Area, we are fighting for more housing. You can help by making a tax deductible donation to support our pro-housing lawsuits and our advocacy for better state laws. If you work at a big company, your employer will probably match your donation. If you have a DAF, advise your fund to send your money to us. You already took the tax deduction.
Our lawsuit against the City of Lafayette for refusing to build 315 apartments, and trying to build 44 single family homes instead, is moving right along. Our trial date is January 25th, 9am, at Contra Costa County Superior Court in Martinez. Please come watch & support if possible.
Here is very good ABC7 news coverage of the Lafayette suit: ABC7
Read all the Lafayette docs here.
We had a very fast victory in the City of Berkeley just before the election. The City Council voted to disapprove 3 zoning compliant single family houses proposed at 1310 Haskell Street. We quickly filed a petition asking the Superior Court to overturn the decision. The City agreed, and now the City Council will rehear the project. Read more here. In addition, the City of Berkeley will now include a section in every staff report explicitly evaluating whether the housing development project is subject to the Housing Accountability Act ("HAA"). This is a big deal. To find out more about why, ask me or Brian in person, perhaps on December 7th.
Lawsuits are effective, and expensive. Our legal strategy is to enforce the good state laws that already exist, but are underenforced. It is already working. The results from last year were very good. And we will have to continue this strategy for at least another year.
Last year we raised and spent or committed about $250,000. Last year's expenses were one full time employee (me, Sonja) and two lawsuits. Next year's expenses will be two full time employees (welcome aboard Brian Hanlon) and at least twice as many lawsuits. We made incredible progress this year, but we also let good lawsuits pass because we didn't have the resources to pursue them.
This #GivingTuesday I want to raise $50,000. It sounds like a lot, but it's not. Just 4 Google employees maxing out their matching funds would raise $24,000, that's half way there. Raising $50,000 from our mailing list will put Brian & me in a good position to go back to our institutional funders and ask for even bigger money. My experience raising money is that for every dollar we raise in "small" (< $1000) donations, we get $6 more from big funders.
This year we'll make a proper resource guide for planners, legislative aids, zoning board members, commissioners, councilpeople, supervisors and interested members of the general public. Part of that project will be publishing the Order we got in Berkeley. Find out more about that too on December 7th, 6pm.

off bush hwy near 87
hey anyone find some good wheelin spots off bush hwy around 87? I always see quads down there
I usually go camping on the rim near heber or even near flag but to find some nice spots to go in the winter closer to my house would be awesome!
Pobrecito is pretty fun, it's just a mile or two past Butcher Jones if you haven't been out there already... I went out there just the other weekend after a good soaking and that nice wet sand in the washes was mighty fun. You gotta watch out for that though, I don't really know what you roll with, but make sure you don't get yourself out there stuck in the boonies cuz it's pretty hills-have-eyes-esque out there at night. Some shady folks propagate, congregate, and commiserate there. My MT/Rs crawled over it like pavement though. Some A/T treads will have problems in the loose sand and washes especially after a good rain. The quads you see are probably in Pobrecito, you can always find 4wheelers down there at any given time. Oh and another thing, if your Jeep has a hot finish you don't want to scratch up, make sure you take the trailheads north and east and not the southern ones because there are some overhanging branches that are just attracted to hot paint. Spoken from experience my friend. Anyway, good luck!
I go to Bull Dog Canyon off 87. You need a permit (free) at any forest service station (one in Mesa just off Higley North of Brown). Not too crazy, but there'd are a few spots that will give you a good challenge.
RE: Not every Forest station!
Sorry about that, I should have said any forest service station in Mesa. Either way, did you get out to the trails?
re: trails
yep. have been to the coves and bull dog canyon many times.

About the film:
"Girl Rising" mixes documentary and narrative filmmaking to show how education lifted nine girls out of poverty and cruel circumstances. The movie's locales — Cambodia, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Peru, Egypt, Nepal and India — are far-flung, reflecting the diversity of the stories. Among the most affecting: Suma, a Nepalese girl who writes songs to help her navigate and ultimately overcome her life as a bonded laborer; and Wadley, a 7-year-old Haitian with a love for learning that's rocked by the devastating 2010 earthquake.
The young women's stories, narrated by the likes of Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway, stand as sober reminders of the kind of unforgiving obstacles faced by girls in developing countries and the positive, ripple effects that learning can bring.
Director Richard E. Robbins, Oscar-nominated for his 2007 documentary "Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience," divides his new film into nine portrait segments, set apart by Liam Neeson's narration about the hard truths girls must confront to go to school — or simply show that they matter — in many nations.
The film's re-creations, some involving actors and some the girls themselves, aren't always successful, but the truths at their core are rock-solid. Illuminating and ultimately hopeful, despite the horrible circumstances depicted, "Girl Rising" stands as a testament to the power of information.
"Girl Rising." Rated PG-13. Running time: 1 hour, 44 minutes.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Thanks for asking Just Answer:
First, for you to retain any possible rights you need to register as the putative father as follows:
Statute: § 170-B:6 [Effective January 5, 2005]
Once you have registered as a putative father then you will be entitled to all notices with regard to the adoption. After you have been registered as the father then the adoption cannot take place without your consent.
Here are the specific statutes about consent and your timing:
Statute: § 170-B:8 [Effective January 2, 2005]
No consent is valid until at least 72 hours after the child's birth.
Statute: §§ 170-B:9; 170-B:10 [Effective January 2, 2005]
Statute: § 170-B:12 [Effective January 2, 2005]
Please click Accept so that I receive credit for my response.
sorry john,i dont understand all the technicallities of it,this is all the same things i saw online that confused me.i do apolgize but would you be able to reply in laymans terms? accoding to this even though we are going through an agency i do not have the option to voluntarily terminate my rights until 3 days after the child birth?what happens if she changes her mind before then and i do not?
Neither one of you have the right to terminate your rights until 3 days after the birth. If either of you refuse to terminate her rights at that time then the child will not be adopted. If she changes her mind then the child will not be adopted. Same with you, if you change your mind and refuse to terminate on the 3rd day then the child will not be adopted.
From the time you consent (on the 3rd day) until the court enters the final order you can potentially withdraw your consent.if you meet one of the 3 conditions under "Revocation of consent."
Even though you sign something with an agency even agreeing to give up your rights, you cannot legally do so until 3 days after the birth.
You should be able to revoke your consent if the other parent does give up their rights under the "Revocation of Consent" section. Both parents will still retain rights to the child. The court will not do anything to finalize the adoption or revoke either of your parental rights until after both of you consent.
I would suggest that both of you sign your consent at the same time. I would suggest that to clear up any potential problems that both of you sign at the same time.
I do not receive credit unless you click the Accept button.

Century of Change Ticket Information
Flipping through the storied history of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh, dozens upon dozens of names stand out not only as notable figures in Pitt history - but also as significant figures in the world. One of the most recognizable of those names is Herb Douglas.
A Pitt alumnus with a bachelor's degree in science and a master's degree in education, Douglas is the founder of the Jesse Owens International Trophy Award and the Jesse Owens Global Award. A standout track and field athlete, he won a bronze medal in the long jump at the 1948 London Olympic Games and held the long jump record at Pitt for 23 years.
Douglas, 89, has been instrumental in bringing together "Athletics at Pitt: The Forefront of a Century of Change." He took time to speak about his time at Pitt and what the event means to him.
Q: You've been integral in bringing this event together. Can you speak about what it means to you to finally achieve this event and what you're most looking forward to on May 10?
A: Well, I'll start off by saying this: I'm 89 years old, so I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly in African-American history. So naturally I've seen a lot of development and progression, and the point of this event is to celebrate that. It's not going to be a civil rights show or anything like that, it's a celebration that's narrated by four highly-successful personalities in Jack Whitaker, Bob Costas, Fredricka Whitfield and our own Mark May. The whole hook is that it's been 100 years since the first African-American athlete graduated from Pitt. So I'm looking forward to seeing everyone together, past and present, and being able to celebrate that achievement.
Q: Your career as an athlete at Pitt is as impressive as they come. What do you remember most from that time?
A: When I went to Pitt I went out for football, but football never was a major sport to me. It was all about track and field, so that stands out.
Growing up in the 1930s, I had two idols: Jesse Owens and Joe Lewis, who were track and field guys. I knew I wasn't going to be that good of a football player, but I loved going on and running track. And when I became a national AAU long jump champion and stood at the podium knowing that I was one of the best in the world, it was a highlight of my life. It transcended into other areas, because I later went on to become the third African-American vice president of a major corporation. I always thought back to my time at Pitt and it meant a lot to me.
Q: The campus has obviously changed since you were here. What do you remember most about your time on campus as a student-athlete?
A: I remember times in the Commons Room in the Cathedral of Learning. The big gothic columns with the big chairs in front of them - I remember sitting around there and just talking with friends. We enjoyed the campus. We considered those the golden years of our lives, because we were all together wherever we went.
I'll always remember is the Commons Room and how we'd congregate there. One time the dean of education came over to us and said, "Why don't you guys spread out?" But we all had our groups and were more segregated back then. It's not like that anymore - at least not nearly as much as it used to be.
Q: When you see some of the more recent Pitt African-American student-athletes and the things they have achieved, what goes through your head?
A: I remember once talking to the football team when Larry Fitzgerald was there. I gave a speech and said, "The gift that I get from you guys is knowing that these days there are so many more African-American student-athletes than there were when I was on the field, more opportunities. Back when I was here, there weren't many more than just myself. But now I see so many, and that is America today.
I love seeing them and how anxious a lot of the more recent athletes are for this event. They understand the evolution of where things were and what they are today. I think they appreciate it all.
This is the first of a series of interviews with former Pitt African-American student-athletes, leading up to the event "Athletics at Pitt: The Forefront of a Century of Change."
Individual Tickets:
$60 - General Ticket (ALL former student athletes)
$60 - General Ticket (recent graduate - 2006-10)

Yep that is 300 bees, that is my hand :)We use the measure of half a cup of bees.Yes I agree 40 is crazy, see the table below. We treat if we get 3 per 300 bees.Thanks...Gary
When I was counting mites, I would do three things. Mostly because none of them are 100% reliable. They are affected by temperatures and other factors that are hard to pinpoint. Drones can be heavily infested in one location in the hive and not in another. So if you uncap some drones, do a sugar shake and do a natural drop count, you have some redundancy built in. Also, I think the TREND is more important than the number. If the numbers are rapidly growing you have more of an issue than if they are staying steady, no matter what those numbers might be.

What are the symptoms of eosinophilic esophagitis?
The major symptom in adults with eosinophilic esophagitis is difficulty in swallowing solid food (dysphagia). Specifically, the food becomes stuck in the esophagus after it is swallowed.
Less common symptoms include heartburn and chest pain.
In children, the most common symptoms are
- abdominal pain,
- nausea, vomiting,
- coughing, and
- failure to thrive.
How does eosinophilic esophagitis cause dysphagia?
Eosinophilic esophagitis decreases the ability of the esophagus to stretch and accommodate mouthfuls of swallowed food probably as a result of the presence of so many eosinophils but also, perhaps as a result of some scaring that occurs in the wall of the esophagus. As a result, solid foods (particularly solid meats) have difficulty passing through the esophagus. When solid food sticks in the esophagus, it causes an uncomfortable sensation in the chest, The sticking of food in the esophagus is referred to as dysphagia. If the solid food then passes into the stomach, the discomfort subsides, and the individual can resume eating. If the solid food does not pass into the stomach, individuals often must regurgitate the food by inducing vomiting before they can resume eating. Rarely, the solid food becomes impacted, that is, it can neither pass into the stomach nor be regurgitated. The impacted solid food causes chest pain that can mimic a heart attack, and repeated spitting up of saliva that cannot be swallowed because of the obstruction in the esophagus. Individuals with impacted food are unable to eat or drink. To relieve the obstruction, a doctor usually will have to insert a flexible endoscope through the mouth and into the esophagus to remove the impacted food.
How eosinophilic esophagitis causes symptoms of abdominal pain, vomiting, and failure to thrive in children is not clear.

UPDATE: 5 Law Enforcement Officers Fired Shots At Suspect
Update: The Omaha Police Department reports five officers from three agencies fired their duty weapons in the officer involved shooting death of 30 year old Willie Michalak Wednesday evening. Two of the officers were from the Omaha Police Department, two from the United States Marshals Service and one from the U-S Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Omaha Police investigators have not yet been able to interview all of the officers involved. The two Omaha officers are on paid administrative leave pending an investigation by the Department's Officer Investigation Squad.
Police say an Omaha man sought on suspicion of several crimes has been fatally wounded at a house in Omaha.
On Thursday Omaha police released the name of the man: 30-year-old Willie Michalak. Police say members of the Metro Fugitive Task Force encountered Michalak outside the house around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday. Omaha police spokeswoman Darci Tierney says officers fired after "some sort of threat.'' None of the officers was hurt.
Two Omaha officers have been placed on paid administrative leave pending investigation of the shooting.
It's unclear whether Michalak was armed. Tierney says officers expected him to have a weapon.
An arrest warrant for Michalak included felony charges of burglary, theft, habitual criminal, fleeing in a vehicle to avoid arrest and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
