"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Great looking card, the designer helped me get the back of the card to look exactly as I wanted. The pearl finish stands out against my competitors cards. Delivery was very quick! Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"Good, heavy quality cardstock. I chose the teal option and find it to be both professional and eye-catching - I wanted a card that would be easy to find if flipping through a rolodex, since I don't have a logo, and this is exactly what I was looking for."
"The design was super easy to edit to reflect my contact information, and leave off what didn't apply (no job title, no fax, no headings on the back) They come in a nice sturdy little box to keep the cards neat & clean!"
"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."

On a busy day at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure yesterday, what with the Main Event being completed, the $25k High Roller getting right down to its final table, and a few other events being played, the one we want to talk about here is the Women's Event.
This was the second day of the event, with the first actually reducing the original field of 66 players right down to the final table of 6, which was to be played here.
The Final Table!
Marguerite Spagnuola – 179,600
Valerie Jensen – 129,900
Jamie Kerstetter – 106,300
Corina Lupascu – 100,000
Lexy Gavin – 79,000
Bernadette Martino – 65,800
The Action Underway!
It was high octane stuff, right from the get go, with Kertetter picking up some big pots early on from both Gavin and the eventual winner Lupascu. We then saw both Martino and Gavin get involved in a big pot, with all of the chips going into the middle. Gavin was holding pocket queens and got lucky to hit a third on the river to leave her opponent with no more than 4k in chips.
Martino was not about to give up though, as she quickly doubled up when up against Gavin again, she then went and did it again against Lupascu and even a third time against Spagnuola.
The first to go was Lexy Gavin, she lost a coinflip against Jensen with her A-2 not being able to beat the Q-7 of her opponent. It wasn't long before we had our next elimination either as Martino tried to double up again but this time ended up on the losing side. Her top pair on the board was good when she put the money in, yet her opponent Jensen rivered the flush.
Kerstetter was the lady to finish in fourth place, running her suited A-Q into the pocket rockets of Jensen. This meant that Jensen was now responsible for all of the eliminations on the final table thus far, whilst she was also the chip leader. It wasn't to last though as she took a couple of beats and was eventually the short stack.
She was in fact the very next player to go out, with her having no choice but to push all in with the 5d-5s. She was called by the Ah-Kd of Spagnuola and would have been distraught to see the board come down as Ad-As-8h-Qc-8d.
This gave Spagnuola the chip advantage going into heads up against Lupascu, but her opponent was not about to hand her the event. In fact Lupascu won a few large pots from her opponent and then even doubled up through her which completely crippled her.
She pushed all of her chips into the middle with the 7h-6h, she was called by Lupascu's Ad-9c and the board fell as Ks-2c-8s-9h-Qc. That meant that Lupascu was now the new PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Women's champion, with her prize being $22,420.
How It Finished!
Corina Lupascu – ($22,420)
Marguerite Spagnuola – ($14,080)
Valerie Jensen – ($8,320)
Jamie Kerstetter – ($6,080)
Bernadette Martino – ($4,480)
Lexy Gavin – ($3,200)
Xuan Liu – ($2,880)
Tracy Rouse – ($2,560)

Since you've all been good ghouls today, I've decided to treat you to a surprise. I can sense the anticipation building. What could it be?
Renegade Films has added a new film, Night Junkies, to their arsenal of horror flicks, and it had me asking the question: How long has it been since a good or even decent vampire film?
The story of Night Junkies keeps it simple. Man wanders streets of London. Man gets turned into a vampire. Man turns call girl into a vampire and they try to lead a life together, but not before kicking some ass and biting some necks.
Ready for your surprise? Quick, look around! Is there no one in view of your monitor? Good. Click here and I have no doubt you fiends will be smiling for the rest of the day. Stripper vampires, tons of violence and that certain British charm look to be adding up to a good bloodsucking film. No one is wearing lots of white make-up or frilly outfits; we're back to good old manly vampires and sexy vampire women. No Anne-Riceness here.

Painting the Sphere in MV2014
When we built/designed MV2014 we paid special attention to the art we'd have in this space. A few projects were in process when we moved in last March. Painting the giant sphere on the first floor where IT and Engagement sit was one of them. It was completed this summer. Check out this great video about artist Andrew Shoultz and get a peek at the sphere!
As great as it looks on the outside it has a purpose, too: Inside there are 4 mini Vidyo booths with wall-mounted monitors and cushy bench seats. Next time you are working from Mountain View be sure to book one of these spaces for your next conference call.No comments


text: Richard Ayoade and Micky Flanagan will be the team captains on Channel 4's new David Mitchell panel show, Was It Something I Said?. Ayoade is the IT Crowd star turned director with his acclaimed feature film debut, Submarine, although to Monkey he will always be Dean Learner from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, the best sitcom never to get a second series. The comedy will feature "some of the teams' own one-liners", reports the Sun, although no word whether it will include excerpts from Marenghi, the "best-selling master of darkness".

Goodbye, News Ticker. Hello TV Widgets!
Yahoo and Intel have teamed up to change the future of television by creating a software platform called the "Widget Channel." The software allows consumers to use "TV Widgets", which Yahoo describes as the following:
"TV Widgets are small Web applications that make it easy to surf your favorites sites with your remote control. Watch Web videos, track your favorite teams or stocks, interact with friends and family, and stay current on news and information by clicking on the compact, interactive apps that sit on top of your normal TV picture."
We already know that consumers are watching TV while surfing the web. But can this baby step towards integration provide something different? It's apparently enough to catch the eyes of a few folks as Disney, MTV and eBay are already on board.

It's free, of all things, and even better, the music's provided by the Krush Girls, who play '80s and '90s dance music like nobody's business. 40 Watt booking agent Velena Vego notes that the party is also to thank all the dependable townies for supporting the 40 Watt over the summer, too. Hic.
Among the many things to do 'round the Classic City -- besides belly up to the bar -- is the FX28 Film and Video Festival on Saturday at the Georgia Museum of Art.

On a sad note, tonight, Tasty World is holding a Tribute to Matt ''Six Pack'' Stephenson, who passed away last week. Money from the benefit will go to the Matt Stephenson Memorial Fund, which will provide funding for the Mental Health Association of Northeast Georgia, local and Columbus, Ind.-based non-profit drug and alcohol abuse programs, and music and arts publications.

Treatment Experience
Adderall XR is about as good as it gets folks for SA/depression/ADD treatment. One 30mg pill vanquishes my anxiety, turns me into an extrovert and makes me talkative beyond belief. I started using it 2 months ago and I still love every moment on it.
I've been crazy depressed and when this little pill gets in the way, it stops all suicidal thoughts and makes me feel alive again! It puts a smile on my face where one has not been seen in decades. I basically need this pill daily to stop my depression.
As for my ADD, it gives me superhuman concentration abilities and motivation from beyond. One pill makes me actually ENJOY working!
Only cons of this medication is that you need to take it when you wake up or you wont be able to sleep. Its effects also only last 12 hours and when they are gone, you revert back to Dr. Hyde.
This medication costs about $125 for a months worth of 30mgs XR. Its the best money you will ever spend. Talk about getting your life back geez!
Social Anxiety Background
I've had social anxiety disorder for several years and I've experimented with various medications and illicit substances for anxiolytic purposes. I don't like stimulants alone because they're so anxiogenic but in combination with say a benzodiazepine like klonopin or ativan they can't be beat.
Other Treatments
Benzodiazepines - klonopin, ativan, valium, xanax, serax, librium. All recommended in combination if anxiogenesis is too prominent. Other drugs like soma and the nonbenzodiazepines or barbituates or alcohol (not recommended) are capable of anxiolysis for this purpose as well. Other stimulants I found effective that I've tried include propylhexedrine, methamphetamine, and MDMA (ecstasy). I've also tried levmetamfetamine from vicks inhalers and caffeine and although they stimulate you and get you going quite a bit, they're ridiculously anxiogenic and they hardly pump the dopamine at all. I don't like them one bit. Combination with a benzodiazepine wouldn't be worth it if you ask me.
Treatment Experience
Adderall and related stimulants like methamphetamine and propylhexedrine make me feel wonderful, powerful, confident, and even arrogant and narcissistic. But best of all they do wonders at treating anxiety. At the same time they're lightly anxiogenic however due to their adrenergic action. Combinging stimulants with benzodiazepines is probably the most effective treatment for anxiety there is. You'll instantly become a badass (from my experience at least).
Unfortunately there are some problems however. Adderall is not a practical constant every day treatment. It'll make you crash when it wears off eventually if you follow a routine like that. There's also excessive stimulation, obvious jitteriness, paranoia, anxiogensis, increased sweating/perspiration, and tense muscles among other things. Oh yeah and you can easily come across as irritable, aggressive, egotistic, arrogant, and so forth as well. You'll become an ******* and a badass at the same time but with some effort you can probably control yourself.
Social Anxiety Background
I've had anxiety and depression since around middle school. I am now 18.
Other Treatments
I'm currently taking Lexapro and enjoying that. Gives me a boost without making me feel too different.
Treatment Experience
I was misdiagnosed with ADD with I was 11. (The symptoms are similar to anxiety)They put me on Adderall. This drug is a nightmare. You're pretty much on speed. Sure I got more work done; I got a B in a subject I'm terrible at! However I also couldn't sleep at night, lost 15 pounds from having no appetite, was freakily quiet, and terribly jittery. I was so young when I was taking this I didn't understand that it was the drug doing this to me. There is a reason people who don't have ADD take this drug. It is essentially like taking speed. Im sure this medication can be useful from those actually with ADD, but please be very careful.
Social Anxiety Background
My social anxiety was formed from having PTSD.
Other Treatments
The drug I am currently on is Lexapro which I find amazing and an even better option for social anxiety. Thedownside is that it aggravates my RLS, causes low sex drive, and inhibits orgasm. But even with all that, its still worth it.
Treatment Experience
This is a great drug for social anxiety and an even better drug if you have A.D.D. It really gives me the motivation to do the things I need and am supposed to do. Without it, I will just sit there like a lump. The only downside for me is that the drug at low doses seemed to wear off, and I needed to increase the dose. After increasing the does for the 4th time I started to get a bit irritable, so I discontinued use.
Treatment Experience
I take 90 mg of the generic Adderall daily. It has helped my depression and it helps somewhat with my concentration

Well folks, after diving in feet first a couple of weeks ago and doing a lot of research, asking ALOT of questions, and pacing the floor, I'm going to pull the proverbial trigger and order my first lid.
I'm going to go with a FPH2 ROTJ from FettPride. It was kind of a tough choice but the pictures and review from rubio95 and the communication I had with Chris really sealed the deal. It's always a tough call over email but he seems like a very nice and passionate guy.
So I figure as soon as the helmet arrives I'll do a review of my own and a step by step thread.
Thank you to BobaMaker and AnimeFan who were equally as professional and timely with their communication and for putting up with questions from an annoying newbie.

- - slight cough/hack (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/196698-slight-cough-hack.html)
slight cough/hack
My dog has started to have a slight cough/hack, similar to what a cat with a hair ball sounds like. It's not excessively strong, nor is he coughing anything up. My understanding of kennel cough is it is stronger than what I am describing. My original thought was that his choker caused this. I have since switched to a prong. We have a vet appointment for saturday, to get his final boosters but I wanted your opinions.
Not sure what it could be,
But hold off on the boosters until you know, if this is viral then booster may exacerbate this.
Your vet may say it's fine...it is not. Ask to see the manufacture's insert from the vaccine if he/she insists it's fine...the insert states to only give in a healthy animal...you don't want to have to deal with an adverse reaction (check helath threads of late - one dog died, another was vomiting blood).
If vet still won't comply, tell them that vax can wait - the antibodies aren't going anywhere....then ask him/her to sign a waver that they will pay all treatments to any adverse reaction....but then again why would you want your dog to even go through something or the even possible worst case scenario
Especailly don't do kennel cough vax....Don't do any at this time
How old is your dog?
I've never had a dog with a cough, so it's hard to know. It could be many things: asthma, a virus, parasites, heart or lung issues, or as you suspected a physical injury.
Until you see the vet, just keep a diary of when the cough happens and what is sounds like, dry or moist and productive.
Just wanted to say hope that your puppy feels better soon.
When was your last heartworm test? Texas is HW territory, as you probably know. Even if you have the dog on preventative, I'd have it rechecked (the blood test that gets sent away to a lab is more accurate and sensitive than the instant "snap" tests).
Kennel cough often has a runny nose associated with it (and usually goopy eyes too) -- at least that's what I see in shelters and with fosters.
Yoschi is four months old... I have never checked him for heart worms, but he is on prevention... like I said its not strong.. mostly like he's clearing his throat, rarely a bit stronger. Ill see if the vet has anything to say about it..
Sounds like kennel cough. It starts out mild and gets worse as the days go by. Don't vaccinate him while he's sick - but a check up is in order.
I personally (and most I know that I would trust for training advice) wouldn't use a training collar on a 4 month old puppy either. But unless you have been very harsh with the collar correction wise, or the coughing is only happening when corrected with the collar, that likely isn't the problem.
Usually, puppies aren't checked for heartworms because the worms are so young (even if they got them from mom) that preventative meds kill the baby worms. Puppies aren't checked by any of my vets until at least 6 months of age, and even then, until they are about a year they usually just do the slow kill anyway (which is simply giving heartworm preventative). A puppy won't be coughing from heartworms at 4 months old. They would have to be very advanced to get to that point.
When does he cough/hack? While he's eating? While he's on a lead? While he is resting? Or all the time?

>Girls basketball senior seeking college opportunity too
Sports Editor
A budding psychologist on Madras High's girls basketball Buffs is one who would probably not be among most observers' main suspects.
Yet, Nicole Main has her mind made up. If everything falls into place she wants to try to continue her basketball career while studying psychology at the University of San Diego. The senior was named to the all-state tournament team and later listed as an all-state performer for Madras last year. She is among those being recruited by the University of San Diego's coaching staff.
She has communicated as allowed under N.C.A.A. rules but hearing that Main would do much talking would be a bit of a surprise to her present coach.
"Nicole is actually a quiet person. Yet, she's still a leader," Madras Coach Mike Osborne says of the senior. She falls into the mold of a leader by example the Madras coach said of the senior who had one of her top scoring games so far when Madras lost at Mountain View of Bend, a 4A school compared to Madras's 3A classification.
Main patrols a guard post for the Buffs with both defensive and offensive flair. She forces opponents into mistakes or turnovers on a regular basis and will often post both five or more steals and at least five assists in a game.
"I like handling the ball," said Main.
As the eldest daughter of Robert and Sandra Main, Nicole Main enjoys having younger sister Jayleen on the Madras High team plus getting to watch younger brothers Aaron or Robert Jr. play, when their schedules don't conflict.
She said Coach Mike Osborne keeps reminding her to take her shot, when open, but that he has also stressed "being more defense minded."
During her first couple of seasons in the program she tried to be more defense minded, said Main, to follow the coach's wishes. In Osborne's first season at the helm, last year, she found herself doing a lot of driving to the basket, but now he is asking her to shoot more, Main explained.
Racing toward the basket or passing the ball to teammates when she has the chance is just part of Main's many goals.
But, one goal has a bit more intensity associated with it.
"We have a team goal that we set during the summer league we were in. Our goal is to win the league," Main said. Doing that will require both beating highly regarded Jill Noe and Wilsonville and avenging one defeat to Estacada.
"We've got a kind of grudge against Estacada," said Main.
But the steps to the Buffs goal of a Tri-Valley League title will come one at a time, Main mentioned. There is enough balance in the league that the coalition of soccer and volleyball players on the Madras roster can't afford to overlook The Dalles, La Salle, Sherwood or Valley Catholic, let alone Wilsonville or Estacada.
She respects all the players in the league she goes up against and knows she needs to work hard to get open for shots no matter who she's up against, Main pointed out.
While Madras can beat everyone she knows it can't afford to take any league teams for granted, said Main.
Adjusting to be ready for each Tri-Valley team will amount to modifying some lessons she picked up a couple of summers ago at a camp she was invited to in San Diego.
Main explained that there were players from throughout the western states and some states even further away attending the camp.
"It was kind of hard adjusting to having all-around players at every position, but it helped make you ready for higher levels," Main said.
Such preparation paid off for Main in the form of her selection to both the state tournament's all-tournament team and a statewide all-state roster a couple weeks after the tournament in March 2001.
Competing with multi-skilled players at the camp helped Main's skills enough that she has an interesting favorite play that she likes to make.
"We call it Saturday Morning Breakfast, because it's so rare for most of us to have breakfast on the weekend," Main explained of her looking to block shots on the rare times she gets a chance.
"If I try to take a shot I try to get them off balance first (before going up to release the shot)," Main explained of her own method of not getting blocked herself.
She said that while she doesn't notice it very often, she is pretty sure Coach Osborne is probably trying to use psychology on the Buffs at times. But whether she has been exposed to it or not, Main is still considering psychology as her first coach of major, unless something sways her mind. Given the arts community in San Diego, it may happen.
"I'm really fond of my art class. I find it's really soothing," Main said of the escape from some of the stress of competing on the court and in the classroom. She said she expects her interest in arts to be something she continues for years beyond college.
Working on basketball has her focus when she is in the game, but Main is not averse to coming out, when Osborne decides to replace her. She said she and the other players usually don't ask to be subbed for, the coach can tell when they're tired or need a break to regroup.
When she does regroup, said Main, the Buffs are in good hands with the assortment of substitutes available. Without naming Jare Retherford or Michelle Manion or Jayleen Main, the Buffs' main Main said "I really do have a lot of confidence when I go out. We have a really good back up at all positions."
Being the eldest in her family has helped her communicate within the team, even though Main herself admits to being "kind of quiet." She said that she feels it is easier for anyone to talk with someone younger more than peers.
Maybe that has something to do with Main's coaches observing that she lets her play do most of the talking for her.

Justin Bieber Fights To Dismiss 'Hearing Loss' Lawsuit
He's on top of his game and making plenty of money, so of course Justin Bieber is the prime target for any lawsuit-happy fan looking to cash in.
And the "As Long As You Love Me" singer has asked the court to dismiss a $9 million suit filed by Stacey Wilson Betts who claims she had hearing loss after one of his concerts two years ago.
Bieber's motion requests the dismissal because Ms. Betts has shown a "failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted."
The paperwork also states that if a dismissal is not granted, Stacy must "make a more definitive statement of the facts…that Bieber owed [her] a duty to control, or protect her from, crowd noise."

A thank you to the Pearson family!We wanted to give Steve Pearson a huge thanks for bringing Wills Wing Demo Days to Lookout Mountain Flight Park yet another year. It has been a very special and memorable weekend for our LMFP family. It was not only special for us, but special for the Pearson family as well. Steve and Lisa's daughter, Kelsey, cleared our hills (in 4 short days) and soloed off our mountain, beginning her new life as a solo hang glider pilot. Steve is a very honorable and influential man when it comes to the sport of hang gliding and he had endless opportunity in deciding where his daughter would gain knowledge before taking that first big step, and he chose us. We are truly privileged to have gotten to share such an amazing experience with such wonderful people. It is a true honor. Kelsey's eyes were full of freedom and her smile was lit up with happiness after a great launch and great landing, it was a wonderful sight to see. So congratulations again Kelsey! And thank you Steve and Lisa for trusting our flight park with your daughter. We look forward to the next time we all get to fly together.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Cassandra Wilson
After a few more albums in which she mostly performed original and rather inferior material, Wilson changed direction and performed an acoustic blues-oriented program for Blue Note called Blue Light 'Til Dawn. By going back in time, she had found herself, and has since continued interpreting vintage country blues and folk music in fresh and creative ways up until the present day. During 1997 she toured as part of Wynton Marsalis' Blood on the Fields production. Traveling Miles, her tribute to Miles Davis, followed two years later. For 2002's Belly of the Sun, she drew on an array of roots musics -- blues, country, soul, rock -- to fashion a record that furthered her artistic career while still aligning well with trends in popular music. Glamoured, released in 2003, posed a different kind of challenge; half the material was composed by Wilson herself.
Unwilling to stand still, she gently explored sampling and other hip-hop techniques for 2006's Thunderbird. She followed 2008's Loverly, another album of standards, with Silver Pony in 2010. Ever a musical chameleon, she changed direction again with an album of mostly original tunes entitled Another Country, which she co-produced with electric guitarist Fabrizio Sotti. Recorded in Italy, New Orleans, and New York, it was released in the summer of 2012. Wilson switched labels in 2015, signing to Sony Legacy and releasing the Billie Holiday tribute Coming Forth by Day. The album was produced by Nick Launay, who is best known for working with rock acts like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Supergrass, Midnight Oil, the Cribs, and Nick Cave. ~ Scott Yanow

Elizabeth Hurley & Shane Warne: Estee Lauder Lovers
Teaming up for a publicity appearance, Elizabeth Hurley and Shane Warne attended the Estee Lauder Breast Cancer Awareness photocall in London, England today (October 8).
The "Austin Power: International Man of Mystery" babe and her hunky beau were joined by Elizabeth's son Damian Hurley at the Selfridges locale as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
And though Shane has toned down his wild child image in recent months, Hurley insists she hasn't influenced the change and also denies that her man has gone under the knife for cosmetic surgery.
Elizabeth gushed, "I love him looking like that, I think he looks beautiful. He retired from international cricket before I met him and I think even when I met him two years ago he was still much bigger because he'd still been training."
"Even though he still does a little bit of cricket he doesn't do as much. But as far as being slimmer, I have to say it's entirely him. He's never had any surgery and is not on a diet and he doesn't wear make-up - look at those eyelashes, they're very curly. For the record, he is au naturel. No assistance, especially not from me."

Latest Newscast: East Digs Out, Dolphins Bullying Report, Fraternity Hazing Death Ruled a Murder
Here are the latest headlines:
The latest winter storm has moved out, but much of the East Coast struggled to recover, especially near Philadelphia, where traffic along the Pennsylvania Turnpike was backed up for miles after a series of crashes involving tractor-trailers and scores of cars. Motorists said the roadway was icy and very slick. Many schools were closed again in Connecticut and, in New York, from the Lower Hudson River Valley to Albany. An Associated Press analysis of information provided by the website FlightAware found this winter's relentless storms have led to the highest number of flight cancellations in more than 25 years.
The agent for Miami Dolphins player Jonathan Martin said he feels "vindicated" by a report that says Martin was bullied by Richie Incognito and two other Miami Dolphin teammates. The report was ordered by the National Football League, after Martin left the Dolphins in October, saying he'd been bullied. Incognito's attorney said the report was full of errors, and denies any bullying.
A Pennsylvania coroner said the death of a New York City college student during an apparent fraternity hazing ritual was a homicide. Authorities have said Baruch College freshman Michael Deng sustained a fatal brain injury during a weekend in the Pocono Mountains last December spent with about 30 other members of Pi Delta Psi.
The lawyer for a man arrested in an investigation into actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's overdose death said 300 heroin packets found in the man's Manhattan residence were largely for his own use. Robert Vineberg appeared in court for a bail hearing. He's charged with possessing heroin with the intent to sell it. It's not clear whether he supplied the heroin that is believed to have caused Hoffman's death earlier this month.
New York is set to receive $8 billion in federal healthcare funding over the next five years to bolster struggling hospitals and help improve medical services across the state.
President Obama headed to a warmer part of the country today to focus on California's worst drought in more than 100 years. The president was in the Fresno area in the San Joaquin Valley, to announce more than $160 million in federal financial aid, including money in the farm bill, for programs that cover the loss of livestock.
A major volcanic eruption on Indonesia's Java Island has killed at least three people, as authorities evacuate more than 100,000 people and close seven airports. Mount Kelud erupted earlier today, spewing ash and debris some 12 miles into the air. One farmer who lives three miles from the volcano's crater says the eruption sounded "like thousands of bombs exploding."
Tonight, windy and cold, low 30.
Tomorrow, Saturday, more snow. About one to three inches will accumulate. Windy, high 35.

To be effective in local context we need local strategies.
To learn what is best in a given context, organizations need to adopt new ways of local learning and new techniques for applying that learning to policies and practices.
The Policy Lab helps private industry and public sector actors innovate and cooperate at the local-level through expert services in The Three Ds:
- Diagnose: We generate local knowledge with an emphasis on rigor, cooperation and clarity
- Design: We apply knowledge through innovative design processes
- Deliver: We provide results that improve the performance of policies and practices for effective, sustainable and viable local action
The Policy Lab works in three thematic areas …
- Peace and security: Special areas of attention include maritime security; stability operations; community security, and corporate social responsibility in areas of conflict.
- Development: The Policy Lab works on both domestic and international issues, focusing primarily on advancing the Millennium Development Goals, especially in areas where the goals are hindered by community security challenges or conflict.
- Humanitarian action and relief operations: The Policy Lab distinguishes humanitarian action from non-humanitarian relief activities. In both cases, services are directed towards designing and implementing appropriate strategies at local levels to better support beneficiaries through cooperative action.
… at three levels of activity:
- Policy: Policy can enable or hinder desirable future action. The Policy Lab helps clients move from debate to design in the crafting of policies to establish more desirable directions in future conduct.
- Organization: The Policy Lab helps translate policy into organizational practice by systematically supporting a "user-centered design" approach that brings the qualities and needs of the end-users into the implementation process, therefore closing the gap between between policy and practice.
- Field: Strategic engagement with communities is where success or failure originates and manifests. This is the center of gravity for The Policy Lab's activities.
… through three core functions:
- Reducing barriers: Policy can never be as nuanced as daily life. The Policy Lab helps identify internal constraints to innovation and adaptation, thereby reducing the barriers to possible local action.
- Creating conditions: The rush from "problem to planning" can often be a disservice in creating the conditions necessary for sustainable action. The Policy Lab works at the nexus between international and local communities to improve the odds of future action being viable and desirable to all stakeholders.
- Design solutions: When debating, we face each other and not the problem. When deciding, we make choices alone. But when designing, we work cooperatively on the task of crafting solutions. The Policy Lab designs solutions with clients and other stakeholders and leads them through new approaches to building models, tabling options, prototyping possibilities, and co-designing with multiple stakeholders to achieve buy-in and legitimacy from the start.
Welcome to The Policy Lab.

The well positioned source claims Apple will announce a 7.85-inch iPad mini on October 17th. The press will get invitations to the event one week prior on October 10th.
Best of all, the alleged iPad mini will launch in stores on November 2nd, just about two weeks after the event. And this would be great timing, leaving plenty of time for the product to sink in and become the Holiday season gift for many.
So far, the iPad mini is said to be a 7.85-inch device with a 1024 x 768-pixel display. It's expected to be extremely thin at 7.3mm and lightweight as well. The compact iPad is also said to feature the new Lightning connector (we would be surprised if it didn't!) and stereo speakers. Would you buy one, or would you wish you get one?

3. Keystone, CO
Keystone's A51 park continues to define park building, layout, and progression with some of the most innovative step-ups. Keystone has separated its park "bowl" (serviced by its own double chair) into five trails of freestyle terrain divided by difficulty. Find the mini-shred line on Freda's incubato, drop in on Park Lane's medium jump line, or take a cruise through I-70 for street style features, which funnel into the Superpipe. When you're ready to step it up, Main Street boasts the big boy triple line and creative features including a flat, cliff-style takeoff, and cement Jersey Barriers. If you're in the market for terrain park nirvana, this is it. —T.L.

Last month the whole world went a little mad when it was revealed that Apple was secretly tracking all iPhone and iPad users without their knowledge.
Of course it turned out that Apple wasn't really tracking everyone and trying to take over the world. And everyone who ticked the box on the Terms of Service of iTunes had effectively permitted Apple to store some location data for use in, of all things, location-based services. Today Apple has pushed out the iOS 4.3.3 update to fix a couple of bugs it admitted were in the software following the revelations. The stored information is not of the location of the iPhone or iPad themselves but of cell towers and WiFi hotspots near the devices. Previously, up to a year's worth of data was stored in the file but with this update the amount of data will be cut to a week.
Another issue which was raised by the research was that the unencrypted file was automatically synced with your computer when you connected your iPhone or iPad. The update means this will no longer happen and Apple has said in a forthcoming update it will encrypt the file on the mobile device to make it more secure. The update applies to the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and the 3rd and 4th iterations of the iPod Touch. However the iPhone 3G will not receive the update and Apple has not said what will happen for those users. The update is as usual a whopping 666.2MB in size and you just need to connect to iTunes to get the update.
In additional iOS news reports today in 9to5mac suggest that the iOS 5 update may be pushed out over-the-air (OTA) rather than only through iTunes. The report quotes various sources from Verizon in the States that this OTA update will be coming this autumn and while the sources talk only of Verizon, surely this innovation won't be limited to one carrier. However given the massive size of iOS updates, we're not sure how many carriers would be relishing the prospect of pushing an update of over half a gig per customer.

Be careful what you wish for, Griz fans. The men's basketball team won the Big Sky tournament for the second consecutive season, and that sort of success has national pundits speculating on the prospect of head coach Larry Krystkowiak leaving for a larger program.
"He probably has the résumé right now [to get hired elsewhere]," says Sean Farnham, Fox Sports Radio basketball analyst and former UCLA player, echoing sentiments he'd already aired on-air in a recent phone interview. "A lot of it's big business: Can you sell tickets? Can you get the big recruits? Can you get the fan base? It's probably one year away, but does he have the résumé? Does he have the name recognition? Yes, he does."
Part of the reason Farnham thinks any departure is at least a year away is the dearth of head-coaching vacancies at major programs in the Northwest, an area to which Krystkowiak would be best suited. Farnham names two remote possibilities: Replacing Oregon's Ernie Kent, who has struggled despite signing an extension last summer, and Colorado State, which is expected to fire coach Dale Layer.
Krystkowiak has been consistent when talking about his future. In December he addressed working for his alma mater with the Independent saying, "I would be perfectly satisfied being here for the next 20 years, and if another job came along that made sense, that's just something I'll assess when the time comes." He reiterated those comments in a recent Q&A with the Missoulian, adding: "I haven't called anybody on a job and I haven't heard from anybody, contrary to a lot of rumors and talk."
The lure of leaving for Krystkowiak would be the challenge of leading a larger program, stability and money; state law limits UM to guaranteeing him a one-year contract for a comparatively piddling $100,000 a year. Plus, UM has always been a springboard position, with such notables as Jud Heathcote (Michigan State), Mike Montgomery (Stanford), Stew Morrill (Utah State) and Blaine Taylor (Old Dominion) leaving for bigger programs. With an overall record of 41–19 and consecutive trips to the NCAAs, Krystkowiak appears on track to follow his predecessors.
"Give him one more good year," says Farnham, "and I think he'll be swept up."

Top Attractions
Glasgow, Scotlands largest city, combines contemporary cool and rich heritage.
It's no wonder Scotland's largest city attracts millions of visitors each year. Trains to Glasgow carry visitors seeking great food, wine, fine whiskies, excellent shopping and top notch entertainment. The city has so much to offer you that you'll struggle to scratch the surface with a short trip.
Whether you're in search of buzzing culture, a brilliant bar scene or shops galore, vibrant Glasgow has it all. Once firmly at the centre of the world's cotton, tobacco and ship building industry, Glasgow has overcome the unfortunate subsequent decades of economic decline to become a thriving, regenerated city.
Many of the grand public buildings built during its industrial heyday still stand today. The "Glasgow style" established by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and traditional red sandstone used throughout the city means Glasgow's architecture is especially distinctive. Modern structures like the Clyde Auditorium (also known as 'the Armadillo') clearly demonstrate that Glaswegians are pushing into the future as well as being proud of their past.
In fact, Glasgow was named the UK's City of Architecture and Design in 1999. It's also the home of Hampden Park, Scotland's national football stadium, and Mitchell Library, one of the largest public reference libraries in Europe. All this, plus many museums, theatres, parks and a diverse range of restaurants means you'll never be short of things to do when you jump on a train to Glasgow.

Possibly considering purchasing one.
Don't do it Rollo. Mine was the biggest POS ever and the only gun I've ever traded.
The other slim 9mm options are much better.
I would also suggest a different single 9. I purchased a PF9 to carry on the days I couldn't carry my sr9c. No problems with the first 100 rounds then 3 light strikes in 4 magazines...and that was after the suggested fluff and buff. Cleaned the firing pin and channel then 2 more light strikes in the next 5 magazines (in the first 3 two were blazer and one federal 115gr...last two were wwb 115gr). I have not had the problem of late but will never trust it enough to carry it. Picked up a Kahr cm9 two weeks ago...the pf9 is the only gun I have that I regret buying.
I will be the odd one. I love my PF9 has ran flawlessly from the start. It will run anything I feed it. Easy to conceal does have a long trigger but not bad once you get used to it.
Here's my edc setup

no issues with any of my PF-9's. I did the feed ramp buff before I ever fired any of them. Amazing little pistols in the right hands.
I have nothing but love for mine. It's always by my side. :thumbsup:
Can't vote ... yet cuz, mine is in the mail :glueck13: :essen2:
Get it, strip it, clean it, lube it up, and give it a shot!! Can't go wrong for the price and Kel-Tec's CS is second to none.
If you clean it real good, lube and grease it up real good, run some 75 to 100 Federal 115gr ammo down its throat, you should be OK. Wait to see how it runs before you Fluff & Buff it.
Get a parker-slide or hard chrome.
NO LIMP WRIST ... NO PROBLEM :tired:
Once I get mine I'll post a report. :brutal7:
No problems here. Runs like it is supposed to. The only thing I did to ours is add a Hogue rubber overgrip to the thing.
Good pistol for what it is designed for.
Mine has been reliable too. Get the new Northwood aftermarket aluminum trigger and it makes a big difference in the trigger feel. God Bless :smile:
Northwood Aluminum Trigger Conversion for PF-9
If you do go for it het the houge grip its a lifesaver mine was good out of the boxstill did the fluff and buff on it to make sure. I agree there are better pistols out there but mine has been a decent little gun.
nary an issue with mine and I love the +1 extension!
Mine was the worst handgun I've ever owned. It was eating itself where the front barrel lug and slide meet. It had FTE issues. It didn't seem to like to feed Winchester jhps. Mag drops with +p. Sold it for scrap, and bought an LC9.
The pf9 is not for every one. I got mine used from some one who did not like it. it shoots real good for me. and its my main carry on some days.
If you are interested in one, find some one with one that will let you shoot it or find a range with one for rent and try it. This will give you an idea of if you will like it.
of course I say try it before you buy it on all guns, if at all possible. All you will be out is ammo cost. ;)
by the way I did not vote because mine was used.

What years of X5's are most susceptible to the dreaded oil separator failure?

Happy ending
Well thanks to the help of finnbmw and others here I picked up my repaired X5 last night from the dealer with all of the work comped (even though I am out of warranty) apart from a minimal $250 gesture from me!
There's probably a few lessons here so I thought I'd tell the whole story.
Last Saturday my 2004 X5 died on the freeway shortly after starting up. Typical symptoms, white smoke and then engine failure. I had the car towed to my local repair shop - not the dealer - who diagnosed the oil separator issue and who gave me news that my engine was seized and that I was looking at a $12-$14K repair for a new engine.
Based on the links that finnbmw found, I called BMWNA and spoke to one of their reps. I explained what had happened, mentioned that I'd seen service bulletins about heated wraps and asked if they could do anything to help. The rep asked if I was at a BMW service center, I said no and he said I'd need to get it looked at by an authorized service center before they could comment and suggested I take it back to my dealer. I asked if he could tell me if there was any chance of relief because I didn't want to tow it to the dealer simply to be told it was going to be $14K. He said he couldn't comment, but then asked me to hold and went to talk to his manager. He came back and said, "my manager thinks you should get it towed back to your dealer."
So I take the car back to the dealer. It is now Tuesday afternoon, the service dept there says they can look at it on Wednesday. On Wednesday evening, they call and say they've been too busy but can look at it 1st thing on Thursday. Then on Thursday morning they call and tell me that the insulated wrap was installed but the heated one was not installed. They've discussed the matter with BMWNA and have decided to fix everything at their expense and only ask for $250 from me to cover towing expenses and "goodwill."
They don't mention the seized engine and I picked my car up Thursday night.
While I am ecstatic about not having to pay for the repair, I am also pretty pissed off at my local shop because clearly the engine was not seized. Obviously this was a rip-off attempt and I'm just lucky they asked for too much so I felt the need to contact BMW. Ironically this shop - Autopia - promises "service you've never dreamed of." I think they're right, I never dreamed someone would try to sell me an engine I didn't need.
At any rate all's well that ends well and so thanks again finnbmw and thanks BMWNA and Motorwerks BMW. I'm glad there are people and companies who do the right thing.

Kawasaki disease linked to wind currentsNovember 10, 2011
First evidence that long-range wind transport of an infectious agent might result in human disease
Kawasaki Disease (KD) is a severe childhood disease that many parents, even some doctors, mistake for an inconsequential viral infection. In fact, if not diagnosed or treated in time, it can lead to irreversible heart damage. After 50 years of research, including genetic studies, scientists have been unable to pinpoint the cause of the disease.
Now, surprising findings of an international team of scientists organized by Jane C. Burns, MD, professor and chief, Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Rheumatology at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine's Department of Pediatrics and Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, suggest that KD cases are linked to large-scale wind currents that track from Asia to Japan and also traverse the North Pacific.
"Our findings suggest an environmental trigger for Kawasaki disease that could be wind-borne," Burns said.
Signs of KD include prolonged fever associated with rash, red eyes, mouth, lips and tongue, and swollen hands and feet with peeling skin. The disease causes damage to the coronary arteries in a quarter of untreated children and may lead to serious heart problems in early adulthood. There is no diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease, and current treatment fails to prevent coronary artery damage in at least one in 10 to 20 children and death in one in 1,000 children.
While seasonality of the disease has been noted in many regions - particularly in Japan, the country of highest incidence for KD - the search for factors that might contribute to epidemics and fluctuations in KD occurrence has been elusive. A study of KD cases in Japan since 1970 showed three dramatic nationwide epidemics, each lasting several months and peaking in April 1979 (6,700 cases), May 1982 (16,100 cases) and March 1986 (14,700 cases). These three peaks represent the largest KD epidemic events ever recorded in the world.
To investigate a possible influence from large-scale environmental factors, researchers including Daniel R. Cayan, Climate Atmospheric Science and Physical Oceanography (CASPO) at Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, and Xavier Rodo and Joan Ballester, of the Institut Català de Ciències del Clima and the Institució Catalana de Recerca (IC3) in Barcelona, Spain, investigated a set of atmospheric and oceanographic measures, which revealed a link to pressure patterns and associated wind flow from the surface to mid-tropospheric atmospheric levels during the summer months prior to onset of the epidemics.
"The Japanese dataset revealed that a low number of KD cases were reported prior to the epidemics, a period coinciding with southerly winds which blew across Japan from the Pacific Ocean during the summer months," said Rodo, the study's first author. "However, the numbers rapidly mounted all over Japan when winds turned and blew in a southwesterly direction. After the peaks, the winds again shifted, blowing from the south when the number of cases again decreased."
"Importantly, subsequent to the three epidemics, years with increased numbers of Kawasaki disease cases in Japan were significantly associated with enhanced local northwesterly winds, as a result of low pressure centered to the north," said Cayan.
To assess whether such variations in wind patterns were associated with KD case fluctuations on the other side of the North Pacific, similar analyses were conducted for San Diego. According to the scientists, the atmospheric connection from continental Asia to Japan and San Diego is intermittent and can take different routes. However, it was possible from their analysis to identify the major anomalous yearly peaks of KD cases occurring in San Diego from 1994 to 2008 as belonging to two main atmospheric configurations.
In fact, the major fluctuations in KD case numbers in Japan, Hawaii and San Diego were linked to a seasonal shift in winds that exposed Japan to air masses from Central Asia. One key pattern simultaneously exposed Hawaii and California to air masses from the western North Pacific.
"The linkage to the wind currents, which can cross the Pacific in less than one week, may explain why KD case numbers recorded in Japan, San Diego and Hawaii show a nearly synchronized seasonal peak in disease activity from November through March," Rodo said.
Burns reports that the findings could be significant in efforts to isolate the cause of this devastating childhood disease. "It could be that an infectious agent is transported across the ocean by strong air currents developing in the upper troposphere," she said, adding that while this would seem the most plausible explanation for the findings, the role of pollutants or other inert particles must be considered.
These hypotheses are currently being investigated. A research aircraft carrying an engineer from the Catalonian team used a custom-built air sampling apparatus to collect tropospheric air samples from over Japan in March 2011, and the entire biome of the tropospheric dust collection is being sequenced in the laboratory of W.Ian Lipkin, MD, at Columbia University in New York City. Lipkin is one of the leading "molecular detectives" who uses sequencing to find new infectious agents. On the other side of the U.S., teams of pediatric doctors from hospitals from California to Alaska and Hawaii have initiated real-time reporting of KD cases to Scripps Institution of Oceanography via the Web. There, Cayan and his team are analyzing cases in relation to regional climate and tropospheric wind patterns.
While links between human respiratory disease and large-scale dust transport are well-documented, to date there has been no evidence of long-range wind transport of an infectious agent causing human disease.

Help rebuilding porch please!
Hello all,
Me & my hubby are rebuilding our porch. We DO NOT have any experience but are determined to do this job as we DO NOT have the money for a pro.:(
The difficulties have been quite a few. Right now the porch roof is braced sufficiently (we hope), the columns and the decking have all been removed for it was all rotting. At this moment we are looking for advice on how to rebuild the framing as it was found to be also rotted.:cry:Now we have to replace the joists and frame ends. The existing joists are 2"X6"X20'. There appears to be no one in this area that carries this size. Plus we also want to replace the rotted wood with treated.
The full dimensions are 20'X6'. The support beams are 6' ,which there are two of. The joists run the whole length 20'. It is all built on a block foundation that seems to be OK.
Kinda stuck on how to rebuild without 20' joists.
Please give us some advice!:help:
Cathy & Tom
What is the max span that 2x6's are spanning? In other words what is the highest number between beams that hold them up?
You can break joists on beams as long as you roll block them. (a block in between the 2 joists) I would personally overlap them as well. Lets say the distance between beams is 8' I would buy 10' joists and overlap and nail them. Then roll block. You could also special order 20' 2x6. They do make them, just no one carries them.
I agree with Robert, just break the 20' span into 2 sections, run a double flush girder and then with hangers use 10's cut to correct dimensions to infill the field
porch rebuild
Thank you all for the replies. I think we figured it out. But could you explain roll blocking a bit better? That might be what we decide to do.
Thanks again,
Cathy :thumbup:
Cathy; Robert calls it roll blocking, here we call it solid blocking. All it is,short pcs of the same joist material cut to fit snug between all the joists. In a field of 16" on center the blocking should be 14 1/2 to 14 5/8 long on avg.
The proper way to measure this is against the girder NOT in the middle of the span. You put the blocking in the middle of the span and by doing so will stiffen and straighten them and prevent twisting IE rolling.The secret is to offset the blocking by 1 1/2 each time so you can nail them easier. Just snap a center line and stagger left and right.
Robert did I miss anything? Besides that LOL
continuing porch saga
Now we find, after all the old joists are out, the two support beams are not even tied to anything! :bangin:
I do like the idea of roll/solid blocking but we need to fix these support beams to the house, don't we?
We had a suggestion from someone to place the beams on cement footers, like the kind for decking. Does this sound sturdy enough?
The ground underneath is a mix of soil, crushed stone, and clay. Would the footers need to placed on cement? Or maybe stone would work?
Get back to me soon, PLEASE! :wacko:
Thanks again for all your help, we're getting there. Hopefully before Halloween! Or else the Trick-or-Treaters will fall through! :devil: :batman:
Cathy: Sorry to say this but at this point it is time to get a contractor in there. You need footings, they must be below frostline; normally at least 42" deep, proper supports, framing etc. This is now beyond the point of a simple DIY project. Permits are now in order, inspections etc. Attaching ledger board to your foundation is not something to poke and hope about either. :(
You might not believe me now but it will be cheaper,faster, SAFER, to just step back and let the pros do it.
don't worry (too much)!
We have had a lot of advice from builder friends who believe the foundation is fine.They did an inspection.
Believe it or not we live in a small town that does not require permits. I know, in this day and age it's very rare,but it's true. :yes:
I think we are going to have enough help to get this done correctly. I'll keep you posted on how things are going.
We're keeping, keeping on! :lol:
Thanks so much for all your help,

Fine rom og bra komfor Fikk ikke badekåpe og slippers som det stod i informasjonen
Meget bra hotell med god service og hyggelige folk. Bra beliggenhet rett ved en elv og meget sentralt i Kaunas gamle bydel. Nei
Meget bra rom! Nei.
Stort og romslig rom nei
the silence, the breakfast, the place. Nothing
friendly staff,excellent location particularly,clean & comfortable,good buffet breakfast,quiet
Very nice and spacious room, good staff, tasty breakfast, good value for money
A very cosy hotel in a quiet place. The reception was good and friendly, excellent, spacious and clean rooms, nice location of the hotel. 1.Contrary to the request (made 5 days prior to our arrival) when booking the hotel, we did not receive an extra bed for a child! 2.The staff of the hotel restaurant really needs more training!
Toilet seat was broken.
Location. No roomservis.
not four star
Hotel is very well located in Kaunas old town. Right around the corner from all the better bars and restaurants in Kaunas, and in the most attractive part of the city. But far enough away that its still pretty quiet there at night. Room was large and comfortable. I got a suite for a really good price - two large rooms and a large comfortable bathroom. Staff is very nice and helpful. I checked out in the middle of the night and they had a packed lunch for me - which is a nice touch. I prepaid for the breakfast - but it was pretty mediocre. I didn't bother with it after the first day. Breakfast at some other local hotels is better. Boring decor. Its all nice functional hotel style furniture - but no pictures or anything interesting in the room.
It was really nice hotel in perfect location. Nice breakfast and lovely design. We booked double room with double bed and we got two single beds put together. Not very nice for 4-star hotel..!:(
Good access to the main town centre whilst being located in a quiet area. The hotel was very clean and the staff extremely helpful.
Great location, nice clean rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Kaunas.
Nice breakfast area Stained towels(2 times), Cleanliness of shower( hair) ,Showeer cabin's drain(was fixed after we complained-thank you)
The man in the reseption, he was very helpful and polite. The room was quite ascetic.
Very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, very good rooms and pleasant beds. Windows keep streetnoise excellent outside.
Very nice and friendly hotel staff; quit but very central location; cosy and large room; flexibility of the hotel staff concerning the check-out time. A bit poor breakfast: little choice, no diversity.
It was small, simply furnished but spotlessly clean. Location was excellent for the Old Town.
Very friendly welcome despite the late check in time. Our room (for 3 people) was a good size and quite comfortable. Clean and modern furnishings. Location was excellent in the old town of Kaunas.
The location is perfect, in the heart of the old town. The breakfast could be improved.
Clean, tidy, staff friendly & helpful, central location only one key for room
There was one very noise group, it was rather difficut to get sleep in night time.....
I liked the hotel staff most of all, very helpful and friendly. I also like the cosy atmosphere of the hotel. Perhaps not anything I did not like, but I could have certain reservations towards the wooden floor which was 'too loud' and you could hear anybody in the hotel by their footsteps.
Everything was wonderful
Very good location Unexperienced staff
The staff were extremely helpful and put themselves out to answer questions and fulfill requests. The breakfast is diverse and generous for four euros with excellent coffee. The position of the hotel on the booking.com map does not conform to reality or the hotel's own website. But even so, the hotel is well situated in the old town.
Staff are helpful and friendly. They helped me a lot. It's not located right at the center of the city, and that provides a piece of quiet in the evening. I liked it. The shower cartain in the bathroom is poor. Once you take a shower, the toilet and the whole bathroom floor gets wet. Those who will stay at this hotel will need to bring a pair of slippers.
Situation of hotel was excellent. Breakfast was extra and minimal with no choice of food.
This hotel is very convenient for the historical old town of Kaunas and is set in a very charming area, close to good restaurants and quaint shops and bars. I found the staff very pleasant and helpful and it was great to have internet access when I needed it. Tucked away from the main street and traffic sounds, etc also made the hotel appealing to me. It has a light, clean, neat and modern feeling to it.
Clean, comfortable, budget hotel in old part of town. Walking distance to bars and restaurants in Kaunas. It does what it says on the tin - it's a budget hotel in a good location. I'd ask for a bigger towel, or two of the smaller towels at the same time. Perhaps I was unlucky but only had a small hand towel for shower after arriving late at night.
