Branch Library Projects - Joint Use and Community Themes
Problem StatementThe San Diego Public Library is committed to leveraging limited resources on the branch library building projects by collaborating with other organizations, while making the themes of these projects reflective of the communities they serve. The most recent new branch library project exemplifies this commitment.
The New Logan Heights Branch is a new two-story, 25,000-square-foot library, which opened in December 2009. The new facility replaces the old 3,967-square-foot branch library built in 1927. It is a joint project with the San Diego Unified School District and is located on the Logan Elementary School site and adjacent to the Memorial Charter Middle School.
This new branch library, which serves a population base of more than 30,000 residents in this predominantly Hispanic community, is a treasured resource steeped in its rich Latino heritage. The architect worked with numerous community members to create a design for the new library that was both functional and in keeping with the cultural heritage and identity of the community. The building's architectural design was inspired by the ancient symbolism, mythology and cultures of the Americas. For the project to be worthy of the community's ancestry, it was important for the design elements to reflect the monumental scale of these ancient civilizations. The materials and textures, rich composition of forms and vivid colors were chosen because they are reminiscent of "Mother Earth" and "Father Sky." Together they help achieve the design goals, enhance the community's identity and establish the library as the "new heart" of the community. Specific features include: 1.) The "Centro Cultural," which is the project's main landmark. It contains 971 square feet and is a suspended granite cube, 35 feet on a side. The cube is supported/balanced by one 8-foot diameter column. This striking base is similar in stature to other important monuments seen throughout the Americas such as the Caracol at Chichen Itza; 2.) Mural on Exterior of Community Room, Title: "Las Americas de Lejos"/"The Americas From Afar" is a tribute to the native nations of the American southland of Chile to the northern Arctic Circle, and the accomplishments of their societies through astrology, civics, agriculture, architecture and art; 3.) The Main, Two-Story Entry Lobby is glazed in reflective and clear glass, which is in the profile of one of the colossal figures from Tula (Toltec man). It serves as a transitional space between realms.

As we end 2013 and look toward 2014, there is an old Japanese proverb that, in its simplicity, conveys some very profound truths. It goes something like this:
"If you sit on a rock for three years, it will get so warm that you will get used to it."
What exactly does that mean? It means that accepting the status quo and staying within the familiar confines of 2013's comfort zone can lead to complacency that CMOs cannot afford. The pace of change is accelerating all around you. Empowered business-to-business (B2B) customer behavior, the proliferation of engagement channels, and technology advancements all demand that B2B CMOs recognize, respond to, and exploit these changes — transforming them into opportunities for 2014 business growth.
So how do you get off those rocks and get ready to roll in 2014? Our recent report, "Predictions 2014: B2B CMOs Will Juggle Data, Brand, And Organizational Investments," provides a prescription for three key initiatives that B2B CMOs must follow to prosper in today's age of the customer:

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Very glad to hear you made it back to Scituate alright. You did just fine under the circumstances, and should be proud that you got your boat and crew safely back to harbour.
This was the sort of difficulty I was concerned about when I (and others) cautioned you to follow the more coastal route to P-Town (see: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/seaman...-cape-cod.html) I'm very happy that you took that advice!! This situation might have been much trickier if it had happened out on the east side of Stellwagen Bank in unsettled conditions.
On the bright side, there are infinitely worse places to be shipwrecked than Scituate! All the best of luck with the repair, and get yourself a nice ice cream at Dribbles!
Yup... A single tow pays for several years of membership rather easily.

Foam and Fiberglass
Yup, this one is also foam and fiberglass I'm afraid.
But the replacement will have 4x's the fiberglass thickness....
|Ouch... glad you and the others are okay. This is another reason I advocate getting unlimited Towing Insurance.
|Two years ago 3 Hylas 54s lost their rudder between the U.S. and the Caribbean. I was told that Hylas claimed is was a designed failure in case of grounding - even though the keel extended way below the rudder tip. I spoke to one owner ( his boat was new) who said the replacement rudder was of the same design; there was nothing but foam and fibreglass in the bottom third. He had the rudder refabricated with steel webbing in St. Maarten before reinstalling it.
I know you were planning this trip for some time and I'm glad you survived in one piece if a bit shaken. Learning to steer with the sails is not something you want to try when your rudder breaks that far from port with novice passengers. This is one reason that a dependable outboard on your boat is a life saver. You might want to have that puppy tuned up while your sailing plans are on hold.
OTOH, now you have a perfect opportunity to try to get the feel for steering the boat with just the sails. I believe that in the conditions you were in you would have needed to shorten sail in order to get the boat to balance. Of course, your new improved rudder will never fail, right?
Never assume that Poseidon (eg., Neptune) is smiling on you. That could have been your first mistake.
Besides fire at sea, this is probably the most frightening of all things that can happen to a sailboat.
I hope that I can keep the show together if things go wrong like that.
You did well.
Good work.
And good work from the Coastguard.
Build a new rudder from someone you trust and sail another day.
|I think I read another thread on a rudder failure. There was also a story in Sail magazine a few issues back about a rudder failure on Lake Erie where the boat sank when the rudder and post fell off and they couldn't get it towed back to shore in time. Full inspection of the rudder and related parts are now part of my checklist before putting the boat in the water in the Spring.
complete rudder failure
Added a picture:
Well adventure never fails. And I've learned to NOT mention neptune's name on the water.
As some of you know I took my second overnight sail this weekend with my little sister (17) and her boyfriend, both hadn't sailed but were very excited to.
The first leg of the journey from Salem to Scituate went fine, but winds were a little light at 5-10mph... so we motored 1/2 the way to keep good time.
Scituate is a nice little town and we enjoyed a night on the hard at a B&B.
The next day (yesterday) we had 15-20mph winds with 25mph gusts. Seas were about 2 feet... I was smiling.
The weather didn't let us down and we were skipping along at 5knots with just the main and felt confident so we brought up the Jib and hit a steady 6-6.4 knots... really really fun sailing. (*this is where I said, "Neptune is happy with us!")
At that speed we were going to make Provincetown on Cape Cod 3 hours ahead of schedule and everyone on the boat was all smiles.
At about 10 nautical miles out in the middle of the Cape Cod Bay I heard a small crack coming from what I thought was my tiller. I checked my tiller, tiller mounts, and visible rudder and everything looked ok, but I was aware something wasn't right. 4 minutes later the rudder let out a death moan and then loudly ripped itself completely in two, dropping it's useful half to the bottom of the ocean.
The boat immediately spun in violent 360's as we struggled with sails and lines... and a tiller attached to 1 foot of rudder... which of course doesn't do much. I grabbed the radio and called in a PAN PAN PAN, and then put my wife on the CB as I attempted to use the sails to steer the boat. But in this wind the boat just continued to violently jibe repeatedly.
At this point I realized we had new sailors on board and I was rather panicked so I stopped, took five deep breaths and told everyone we had to think and work together. I sent the younger guys below to fetch an oar and lash it to the remaining rudder, but there wasn't enough left to fully secure it.
Of course, 7 minutes into the event one of my young crew geniuses asked about the outboard and I stopped trying to be a sailing champion and threw the motor in.
By then the coast guard had arrived (they are my new heroes) we dropped the jib and motored, steering by outboard alone (pain in the rear) all 10 nautical miles and the coast guard stayed with us the whole way. Good thing to because my outboard started failing as we entered the harbor and the coast guard had to keep us from drifting into the jetties.
We finally got the boat on a mooring and I collapsed exhausted.
Now the bad news.
1976 25' O'day - only one source for a new rudder, the terrific DR Marine. Rudy filled me in on the O'day rudder history. O'day made 5,000 of these rudders... 1000 have failed in exactly the same way. The rudder is a foam core filled fiberglass, but the thickness of the fiberglass was a measly 1/16th inches thick.
Rudy is building me a 1/4 inch thick skinned new rudder that I have confidence will never fail. (for a third of what I paid for the entire boat)
But my boat is disabled in Scituate until the fiberglass guy can build it and can get it to scituate... BUMMER. (Transient mooring fees every day and it's 2 hours drive from my house.
I'm still pretty shaken today... a little nervous about hopping back on-board my little cruiser... just worried that I witnessed a major part of my boat litterally snap in half like a twig and sink 100 feet to the bottom.
Anyway, this long long drawn out story is mainly a warning to O'day owners to just pull your rudder, if you haven't, and put in a replacement - you don't want to experience what I did yesterday. It's also a "this can happen" post that hopefully makes all of you consider failures like this and prepare for it.
Shaken and stirred,

In Zambia, 80% of adults don't have bank accounts. Just consider the implications of that for a moment. Bank accounts allow us to save, get loans, pay bills, receive salaries, transfer money, invest, shop. For the millions of Zambians who don't have accounts, none of these tasks are easy, many just aren't possible.
Cash remains king for nearly all financial transactions, for individuals and the companies that transact with them. For instance we work with a large cotton company that has to pay its 100,000 small-scale farmers with cash, requiring payment to be made under the watchful eye of armed guards. This is dangerous and expensive for everyone involved.
I work for Mobile Transactions Zambia, a startup dedicated to making financial transactions in Africa easy, quick, safe… and cashless. We connect organizations of all sizes to the mass market using a proprietary payments technology and a country-wide network of agents.
Simply put we're making transactions via mobile phone possible for the majority who don't have bank accounts. We're serving those who need it most: a small-scale cotton farmer receiving payment for his annual harvest; a women's group paying back their micro-credit loan; an HIV patient redeeming food vouchers from the World Food Programme; and, everyday Zambians working in the city who want to send money to their families in the village.
The explosive growth of mobile phones allows us to serve customers that have never had access to financial services, but it hasn't been easy. Those without much cash want to preserve what they have, and this requires a massive shift in how people understand and manage money.
Our dedicated, international team that includes Zambians, South Africans, and Canadians, has worked for three years to figure out how to best serve our customers. Our efforts are starting to pay off. With a recent investment of $4million (the largest of its kind in Zambia) and a passionate team at the helm, we believe we're well on our way to realizing our dream of a cashless Africa that works first and foremost for those who are struggling most.

Latest Project 76 Gremlin
I haven't been around much lately due to some family heath issues. Things have eased up a bit so I've been able to start puttering with my latest project. This past spring I traded two handmade knifes (I make knives as a part time gig) for an all original 76 AMC Gremlin.
It had been idle for quite some time so I spent several hours yesterday cleaning the plugs, points and much of the engine compartment. I changed the oil, transmission fluid and coolant. I changed out the starter solenoid and the positive battery cable as they were both a fire waiting to happen. I pulled the hose off of the fuel pump, drained the ancient gas and ran a hose to a can with some fresh fuel. After a few crankings she fired up but died quickly. I noticed the distributor moved so I turned it back to the original position and tightened the hold down. She fired right up but idles a bit rough. The transmission moved the car forward and backwards.
The car is far from road worthy at this point but everything is there and no rust through anywhere. There is some light surface rust from the badly oxidized paint and a minor crease in the drivers door. At this point I need to go through the entire brake system before I can attempt to move her any distance.
She ought to make a nice companion to my 74 Javelin.

If you set the group ownership correctly all other committers should be able to access your account in people.apache.org. Let's assume I am correct for now without double checking. I was planning to check in every N-L site, tag each and then delete the N-L from ooo-site. If your archive is available to all committers then this is a better archive location than svn.

Yes and I would avoid doing anymore N-L projects. Since Khirano is willing to do a translation of the new main site. If Pedro and the other Italians and MArcus and the other Germans. Plus Alexandro and the Spanish are in Consensus to do translations of the new main (Am I missing any other "active" N-L projects?) then I am for removing all N-L now.

Opinions Needed: Olympus OM 24mm VS Canon FDn 24mm
uhoh07 wrote:
(a lot)
Eh... I guess the camera model is classified information after all.
Some shots at different apertures
Thanks a lot though I wish you went for another corner not obscured by the tree. It looks like f4 corner is sharper than f5.6 which I doubt is possible.
Maybe a misfocus so I take this with a grain of salt. Nice of you to try and by what I see at f4 this is a very good lens indeed. This is the star of the OM wideangle line of lenses I read.
But still, I think the FDn 24/2 would be a bit better overall. Tough call; both are great.
It sounds a bit strange to me too that it is sharper at F4 vs 5.6.
I' m not yet so easy with the peaking and the focus help on the nex screen.
I own this lense for years and bought it with my OM4 and a couple of Zuiko's at a bargain price.
Zuiko 24 f2 is hard to find and a bit expensive today. If the Canon is equal or better IQ for cheap price then it' s a no brainer.
Some crops of the left corner.
Yeah I gave up on peaking long ago--it's nice for quick sloppy candid shots but not for critical work imo. I like manual assist much more.
Manual assist seems to be the better way to focus properly.
This one was at f5.6
Maybe you could benefit from this article:
They had Qualifying rounds with all sorts of 24mm range lenses, Canon 24 2.8 included (and much more expensive ones!)
But in the end the small, cheap, old OM 24 F2.8 made it to the final and there it even had a great score, holding easily on par with the top insanely expensive runners.

Fallout 3 - Preview & Interview @ NMA
View Single Post
August 30th, 2007, 13:33
The reason was give for earlier contacts, IIRC, BN should know.
You have a point in that Bethesda did not know that an article would appear at NMA, but then I don't think that those they invite have to sign anything that states that, what, and where they have to publish. And since many journalists work for more than one outlet, that wouldn't make sense either. So I still can't find anything very evil in this coup. Even less so because the resulting preview is detailed, factual, and fairer even in the commentary than I would have dared expect.

Have any extra small tank stuff?
Hi there,
A woman I work with has an autistic son. They are going through some tough times and I would love to set up a small 5-10 gallon shrimp tank for them. I know her son would love it and it would be a good distraction for him and his younger brother.
I have substrate, plants and CRS, but need to find a tank. If you have a tank, heater, filter, light that is collecting dust, that you would be willing to give away or sell really cheap, and you are within reasonable distance to Estes Park or Loveland, let me know? Thanks for considering it!
I have a TopFin 25W heater I'd be happy to send you! PM me your address -- I won't be back up there until the 10th of next month, so would like to just mail it to you so you have it for whenever you're ready. :-) I'll keep an eye on CL for a 10 gallon, too. Lots of people will dump them for $10 with the filter.
Hi all... I had a few offers of help, but all fell through for one reason or another. Bump for another try... Thanks!

Re: [Mathematica] special iterator
With a number of functions such as Do and Table, you can specify the
iteration range in the form {i, {i1,i2,=85}}, so
to iterate over all indices except j you could do something like
Do[ <something>, {i, Drop[Range[Length[myList]], {j}]}

From the Bird's Nest: Prediction Time
Remember a blog I wrote earlier about how the Cajuns can get to six wins?
Well, the first part of that scenario is completed.
The Cajuns have started 2-1. Neither win was a juggernaut, but the idea at the end of the day is to win. And, the Cajuns have done that.
Now they hit the road to face the defending SBC champions and the team starting to get a lot of national love in Florida International.
FIU is 3-0 with two pretty impressive wins; over Louisville on the road and a home win over CUSA favorite Central Florida.
College Gameday was on the FIU campus this week and will do a feature on the Panthers on tomorrow's show.
This program has come a long way since that well-publicized brawl against the University of Miami several years ago which was the final straw for former coach Don Strock's regime.
Mario Cristobal has come to FIU, instilled discipline, recruited well and surrounded himself with good coaches, much like what Mark Hudspeth is doing at Louisiana. But Cristobal has a five year head start.
FIU is still a relatively young team, especially on the defensive side of the football, where there is only one senior. And, despite the fact the Panthers have a veteran offense, with a fifth-year senior quarterback and the most exciting player in the league in T. Y. Hilton, it is the defense that impressed me the most.
No one has run against FIU. Period.
Lance Dunbar, who has a great opportunity to become North Texas' all-time rushing leader and also has a shot at Tyrell Fenroy's Sun Belt rushing record, had 18 carries, 43 yards. Louisville rushed for 83 yards…..in 41 attempts. Central Florida went to Miami averaging 275 yards rushing per game. They managed 119.
Get the picture?
The Cajuns will start their fourth different running back in four games. And, I'm sure the Cajuns will try to get something going on the ground. But I'm not expecting them to have much, if any success against this Panthers' defense.
The Cajuns lead the Sun Belt Conference in scoring. But we know the defense has actually had more to do with that than the offense. The defense has scored four touchdowns, and set up two more with fumble recoveries inside the opponents 15 yard line (including one at the one yard line.) And, you can bet Greg Stewart's defense will come to play on Saturday.
There's only one problem with the way the Cajuns have done it.
FIU doesn't turn it over.
Quarterback Wesley Carroll has thrown 72 passes this year without an interception. He's completed more than 60 percent of his passes. That pick-six string could be in a little jeopardy this week. FIU doesn't leave it on the ground much, either. They've lost only two fumbles. Those numbers mean the Cajuns can't turn it over at all, because they can't count on the defense to get a bunch of their own. Louisiana hasn't had an offensive drive of 50 yards in either of their last two games. That's not a good sign against a team that consistently wins the field position battle.
Sometimes it's all about the matchups. And, this is not a good matchup for Louisiana this week. Hopefully the defense can get enough stops to keep them in the game.
Because I don't think the offense will have many opportunities.
The second part of getting to six is to win two out of three on the homestand…..not to win this week.

Organizational Sciences
Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts
Leadership skills are essential for today's managers. Organizational settings, including for-profit businesses, political organizations, not-for-profit organizations and public and private boards, are dynamic entities, which rely on skilled leaders to function efficiently and to ensure positive workplace cultures and climates.
This interdisciplinary program in Organizational Sciences through the College of Letters, Arts and Social Sciences draws from business, industrial/organizational psychology, public administration, industrial sociology, educational leadership and other disciplines to provide students with an understanding of interpersonal workplace dynamics and fundamentals of leadership.
Bachelor's degree in organizational sciences with two focus areas:
- Organizations and Communities
- Organizational communication
Career Opportunities
A bachelor's degree in organizational sciences will help you become a better organizational communicator and leader. It has become increasingly evident that many problems in the workplace are the result of relationship failures. These failures range from conflict between managers and employees and conflict between employees and other employees, to lack of proper coordination of efforts, lack of proper understanding of worker capabilities and training needs and lack of concern for both employee and manager professional development. With an interdisciplinary degree in organization sciences, your opportunities as a leader are endless. Examples of organizations that will need your expertise include:
- For-profit businesses
- Legislative bodies and political parties
- Health care companies, charities and volunteer agencies
- Boards of education, homeowners associations and church boards


text: Hopefully Bronson can have a good game tonight and give the Reds some solid innings. They need to win tonight for many different reasons, but the biggest reason is to get rid of the foul mood that me and many of my fellow redszone fans are in right now. What a HORRIBLE homestand! I think a good start from Arroyo is just what this team needs to spark some energy into it. Also more than 11,000 people in the stands would be nice.

Recipe By: Mark Brownstone
Serving Size: 2
Preparation Time: 0:15
Notes: This is my cousin Mark's recipe. He likes his tuna seared on the outside, and rare throughout. He will spend a fortune on the deep red Bigeye tuna for this. Yellowfin doesn't look as pretty, but it tastes fine. Don't buy tuna that is brownish or chocolate in color. If the tuna is a nice red Tombo (Albacore) be sure to NOT overcook it, as Albacore cooks up very white, but dries out in a flash! This is odd, as Albacore can be rich in fat. By the way, it is not a mistake to grill an extra piece or two, as it makes a great cold salad. Of course, they may not make it to the refrig, if there are calls for "Seconds, please!" Cook the extra pieces until there is just a thin line of underdone in the center, to keep them juicy. Swordfish works just the same. Try the rich fatty shoulder cuts.

A head for figures and IT
Page Tools
Last week we expressed bemusement at the thought that much of Australia's senior business IT expertise lies within the accounting profession. We have since spoken to two senior members of professional accounting body CPA Australia who have risen to lofty heights in IT to see how they got to where they are today.
CPA member Micheal Axelsen is director of information systems consulting at the Brisbane office of BDO Kendalls, Australia's largest second-tier accounting firm.
He is chairman of the CPA's IT and management centre of excellence, which focuses on best-practice information systems management for accounting professionals. After graduating with an honours degree in commerce in 1991, Axelsen worked as an accountant in private schools for about four years before deciding that doing the accounts of schools was not his dream career.
"So I enrolled in a Master of Information Systems degree at the University of Queensland," Axelson says.
"During my work as an accountant, I got sucked into managing the information systems.
"Often in organisations it is the accountant who has to do a lot of the support work, mainly because they know how to do spreadsheets and, therefore, it is assumed that they can manage the entire information systems complex."
Upon completing his master's degree, Axelsen started work as an information systems consultant with the forerunner of his present firm.
"Accounting is all about the structuring of information, delivering on the reports and using that information to run your business," he says.
"A lot of people start off in accounting and cross over into the information systems area, and that's why CPA Australia has a lot of information systems specialists on its books."
Although Axelsen is qualified by any measure to be a member of the Australian Computer Society, he says he has no interest in joining.
Hyping up the skills shortage in IT
An argument has flared yet again over whether an IT skills shortage is fact or merely a fiction hyped up to serve the selfish interests of certain recruiters and contract managers. However, one recruiter at least is prepared to go on the record and join a growing number of off-the-record colleagues in declaring the IT skills shortage claims as sheer hype.
Matt Lodge, the CEO of Sydney-based ICT recruitment broker RSP Group, says talk of an IT jobs boom is premature and largely a beat-up.
"We specialise in providing exclusive service to large corporate clients such as Nokia, Hutchison and Unisys," Lodge says.
"From our experience, we can say that there is certainly a lot of hype at the moment. There is good, solid sustainable growth but there is certainly not a boom at the moment."
Lodge says claims that Australia needs to dramatically increase skilled migration are bogus. "Over the past 16 months we have placed about 150 people with one large IT services provider in Perth. We had to go overseas for just four of those positions. In Perth, the pool of skills is relatively small, so a lot of those positions were filled by people relocating from Melbourne and Sydney. Most employers don't want to be forced to go overseas to get someone because it's expensive and it takes too long."
Lodge says that there are no skills shortages in the major mainland capitals. However, he says it is only in smaller cities, such as Perth and Adelaide, that there are shortages in areas such as SAP, Siebel, .NET and IT security. "There are obvious lifestyle advantages of living and working in places like Perth and Adelaide, so relocation can be attractive," he says.
Westward, ho
Those of you looking for an escape from the big smokestacks of the eastern seaboard might be interested to know that Perth's most famous ISP, iinet, has gone into serious search mode for technology heads. The country's fourth-largest ISP, iinet has made the news lately by declaring its intention to acquire the number three player, Ozemail.
Whether the ISP is looking for people in preparation for the coming merger or is just experiencing a surge in organic growth is not clear. Whatever the reason, iinet has advertised many high-level technical and management positions on its website and is also searching for sales staff. Positions specifically mentioned include network engineer, senior network engineer, business analyst and document writer. In addition, the company has advertised for three IT graduates.
The ISP's national HR manager, Liz Burke, says the company hired 23 Sandgropers last month and 22 so far this month. It employs about 500 people in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and New Zealand.
Further information can be obtained at iinet.net.au/about/employment/
Moving heads
Computer Associates (CA) has appointed Robin Barrow sales director for NSW. Barrow joins CA from predictive analytics technology vendor SPSS, where he was regional manager. Before that, he was national alliances manager and state manager at SAS. After seven years with leading address management software company QAS in Britain, Barrow opened QAS' Australian operations in 1998.
Microsoft ERP solutions reseller Eclipse Computing has appointed Tony Stewart as business development manager for South Australia. Before joining, Eclipse Stewart was business development manager for Adelaide-based Graycorp, which specialises in developing enterprise resource planning systems for manufacturers.
NEC Business Solutions has appointed Shawn Farrell national sales executive for its server and storage division. Farrell has been with NEC for more than seven years.

An Islamist charity accused of links to the militant fundamentalists blamed for the Mumbai terror attacks has resurfaced at the centre of the aid effort to help hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing Pakistan's war on the Taliban.
Six months after Pakistan, under international pressure, outlawed the charity said to be a front for the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), The Independent has discovered that scores of volunteers from the charity are openly working to ferry refugees from the edge of the conflict zone to emergency camps and hospitals. They are also providing food, water and first aid.
Despite a government undertaking that it had cracked down on Jamaat-ud-Dawa – described as the charitable arm of LeT – and pledged that it would not allow it to operate under a different name, volunteers say they are providing crucial services in an area where the government's resources are stretched.
Yesterday morning, in a tent that had been erected on a traffic island in the centre of the city of Mardan, where thousands of refugees are being taken, the volunteers were operating under the name Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (Humanitarian Welfare Foundation). In addition to the foundation's logo, the volunteers' tent was hung with black and white flags carrying the symbol of Jamaat, a curved scimitar. "The foundation used to work under the name Jamaat-ud-Dawa," said one of the volunteers, Jafar Khan. "We are operating emergency camps near the conflict zone where we are giving first aid, water, juices and food. We have 12 ambulances. We are taking people to the [refugee] camps and to the hospitals. Our supplies are coming from Punjab."
Asked about the charity's motivations, another man, Dr Fazl-e-Azim said: "This is a humanitarian organisation. We help everybody, Muslims, Christians..."
Last night, with President Asif Ali Zardari in London, the government came under fire for failing to close down the charity. The former interior minister, Aftab Sherpao, said: "They don't focus on anything. Banning Jamaat was just eye-wash. They just wanted the world to believe they were doing something." The government failed to respond to queries.
Few in Pakistan will be surprised by the revelation that Jamaat is assisting in the relief effort as a flood of refugees pour from the Swat Valley and surrounding areas as the Pakistan military intensifies an operation to "eliminate" thousands of Taliban fighters that have seized control of districts just 60 miles from Islamabad. For years the charity's volunteers have been present in the wake of natural disasters across the region.
During the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, volunteers from the charity provided aid to some of the hundreds of people affected by the disaster.
Yet after last November's attacks on Mumbai that left 160 people dead, the government moved against the charity, shutting down its offices and arresting a number of its senior leaders. The government acted after a chorus of international condemnation and repeated allegations that Jamaat was operating as a front for LeT. The UN described it as a terror organisation. A senior Jamaat leader, Hafeez Mohammed Saeed, remains under house arrest in Lahore.
The foundation and Jamaat appear inextricably linked. Volunteers readily said the organisations were one and the same. Asked to provide a contact detail for the foundation's head office in Lahore, they gave a number that was answered by an official who described himself as a spokesman for Jamaat. The spokesman, Yahya Mujahid, said: "We work in close co-ordination with the foundation but are not the same."
What is certainly clear is the impact the supposedly banned charity is having in the relief operation, in which the resources of the local authorities are strained. At Mardan's district hospital – where a Jamaat ambulance was parked outside the emergency wing – one doctor said three foundations linked to the charity were helping the relief efforts. Adnan Jamshed added: "Their ambulances are arriving all the time."
Another medic at the emergency desk, Dr Aziz Khan, said: "There is a chronic shortage of staff, we don't have sufficient beds."
The apparent re-emergence of Jamaat will raise alarm about its capacity to use its charitable work among civilians as a recruiting sergeant for the Jihadist cause. It will also revive the anxieties of those who questioned the willingness of Pakistan's government to seriously tackle militants blamed for the Mumbai attacks. "I am not surprised by [the emergence of a front group]. Jamaat has been playing a very active role in the relief operation," said Bahakutumbi Raman, an Indian security analyst.
Christine Fair, a Washington-based expert on LeT, said: "I had heard reports that Jamaat had changed its name. I'd also heard that even before it was shut down, its money had already been moved. Of course, it's Jamaat's strategy to continue cultivating public support."
LeT has traditionally enjoyed intimate links with Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency. In the late 1980s, the group was backed by the army during conflicts in Indian-administered Kashmir. In 2002 the group was banned by the former president Pervez Musharraf but its leadership continued its activities under the cover of Jamaat.
Jamaat-ud-Dawa The jihad masquerade
* The history of Jamaat-ud-Dawa is intertwined with that of Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant organisation that Indian investigators blame for the Mumbai terrorist attacks last November. The relationship is described as being similar to the links between the IRA and its political wing Sinn Fein. One disillusioned former member of Jamaat-ud-Dawa told The Independent last year: "Though they [Jamaat-ud-Dawa] don't engage in jihad themselves, they encourage people to move towards it."
* Jamaat-ud-Dawa is said to have been founded in 1985 by Hafeez Mohammed Saeed, the same man who founded Lashkar-e-Taiba, which was branded a terrorist organisation in 2002 by the Pakistani government. Since then, Jamaat-ud-Dawa claims to have distanced itself from the banned group, saying it is only engaged in welfare work – but suspicions of a different agenda remain, and the US State Department listed Jamaat-ud-Dawa itself as a terrorist organisation and blocked its assets in 2006.
* After the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan vowed to clamp down on Jamaat-ud-Dawa. But the charity still enjoys influence under a new name, Falah-e-Insaniat. It runs schools and clinics in the Muridke district of Lahore. Where there is a vacuum in public provision, it plays a role, for example after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake it says it built 5,000 homes and 39 schools. With its financial status secured by landholdings, it will take vigorous action by the Pakistani government to ensure its demise.
The sign that gave it away
Parked outside Mardan's district hospital, an ambulance raised The Independent's suspicions that Jamaat were back. The tell-tale sign on the vehicle is the curved scimitar, the group's symbol in its distinctive black and white colours. When questioned about the ambulance, hospital doctors freely admitted that foundations linked to Jamaat were helping relief efforts.Reuse content

'14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Hey all. I'm new here, and planning to be a first time Jeep owner with a '14 Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can't wait!
I'm wondering about pricing. I've been reading the other threads and trying to learn what's going on. But I haven't seen anything that directly answers my questions.
I'm not doing a group buy (Louisville, Ky), nor do i have any employer discount. How should I approach negotiating the price? I assume when we say 'invoice' this is the total price the dealer pays on the vehicle? Should I try to pay a flat price above or below the invoice? A percentage? Or should it be based on something else?
I'm not super concerned about the total price. I just want to do something fair and not get ripped off. Thanks for the help!
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Go to several dealers in your immediate area for "offers", letting them know you are shopping. I went to 3 and offers (I wanted to order a factory fresh JGC) ranged from sticker to invoice plus some goodies. Bear in mind that the dealers get a rebate of about 2% of the invoice so don't feel sorry for them. Some here have received 2% below invoice but it depends on how much demand there is on the configuration you are buying. The dealer's make their real money on service. Oh, and don't appear too anxious. It's OK to go home and come back another day. Have fun!
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
You can join Treadlightly and get the 1% under invoice by just showing it to the dealer. Otherwise try to get 1% or better if you can.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Consider their motivators.
Sales deadlines and volume metrics. They are more likely to make a sale for volume at the end of a month or quarter. That could mean you get a reduced price and they get to meet their goal.
Warranty work. On newer releases they are less likely to move on price but may include life time oil changes. They want you to keep coming back to the dealership. As much as they hate to admit it, they get paid for warranty work.
Financing. I've been able to say yes, "I will use your financing" and then change that once I am at the financing desk. Some times this blows the deal, other times it ins't a problem.
Trade. They are likely to use this a place to make up money they cut in another area. I recommend getting a quote from CarMax and use that as my bottom line. Anything above that is usually a win.
Manufacture rebates or deals or incentives. I tend to save this one to last b/c if you play this card to soon, they the sales manager thinks that money off means you are already getting a deal. Once you get to the financing office, I throw these in. Look for Jeep/Chrysler Student, Military, ect discounts. Dealers can some times be shady and not tell you about them, you have to do the homework.
Last thing in my bag of tricks is to consider services like TrueCar. Currently not showing 2014 JGC but can give you an idea of price to deal ratio.
Buddy of mine, went to TrueCar when it was Zag, pulled the deal price of what he wanted, modified it to something lower, then went to a dealer that wasn't part of the zag and got his "modified" price. There are some ethical issues there, but at the same time, they wouldn't have made the deal if they weren't making money...
Another buddy used that to get a price he was happy with, then went to the dealer and said the magic words. "I will sign today IF..." and then proceed to get paint protection, seat protection, wheel protection, oil changes, and floor mats all in one breath.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Thanks for all the useful input! I may go the Tread Lightly route knowing that it won't be a terrible deal and I won't have to negotiate much. One of the close-by dealers told me today they would honor the 1% below invoice.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
I just did the treadlightly signup on Thursday, they only mail out on Fridays and got it on Tuesday. Generated the control number on the website listed from chrysler which said it expires in 11 months. Seemed pretty easy.
Lots of ways to make $ in the car business and lots of variables in new car pricing to work through.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Is the Treadlightly 1% below factory invoice more than a friends and Family discount?
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
No, Friends and Family would be a little lower than that still (just a little more than 2%).
I have sent emails to dealers across the state to get pricing on the 2014 I want. The best deal I have right now is 5% under invoice with 4 "No Charge" oil changes.
*Note: I never said 1 thing about me being in the affiliate program in my emails unless why wouldn't budge from Invoice pricing.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Regarding tread lightly, is the $100 membership the required level to receive the affiliate discount? I notice they also have $25 membership for example.
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Re: '14 JGC - How to negotiate price??
Louisville KY is relatively close to Chicago (a day's drive). Why not ?

Come Together Over Music
An accurate re-creation of the Beatles' album Abbey Road will be presented instrumentally Friday by a traveling ensemble. The performance, part of the Classic Albums Live series, promises to deliver a concert using ten musicians to play music cut for cut on the album by the globally popular revered foursome. Forgoing costumes and impersonations, Classic Albums Live hopes to take you back to the 1970s as if you were listening to the Beatles in their heyday with a performance that acts much like a recital without all the cheesy foreplay. With 100-plus shows across the nation, Classic Albums Live has seen massive success, especially in Texas, Las Vegas, Florida, and New York, by taking classic rock albums that people love and re-creating them live onstage. They are also planning a spring performance of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album without all the gimmicky impersonations as well. Favorite songs from the landmark Beatles album that will be played Friday are "Here Comes the Sun," the timeless "Oh! Darling," the everlasting "Come Together," and many more. The show starts at 8 p.m. at the Parker Playhouse, located on 707 NE Eighth St. in Fort Lauderdale. Tickets cost $19 to $49. If you prefer something a little more exclusive, you can purchase a $69 VIP ticket, which allows you to meet and greet the band after the show. Visit browardcenter.org, or call 954-660-6307.

Grammy's song of the year category changes its tune
Few Grammy categories are more confusing than song of the year. Which is not to be confused with record of the year.
What's the difference? Song of the year traditionally has rewarded artful marriages of music and lyrics that can stand the test of time. Think of 1971's winner, Carole King's You've Got a Friend, or Julie Gold's 1990 triumph, From a Distance— songs whose emotional punch aren't dependent on the original performer's mojo.
But recently, best song Grammys have gone to big tunes with indelible ties to the artist singing them, such as 2007's pick, Amy Winehouse's Rehab.
"The award has lost its way a bit, confusing traditional songwriters with popular hit makers," says Paul Zollo, senior editor of American Songwriter magazine. "That's been frustrating for many writers, but the business is evolving toward these production numbers."
Richard Marx, who won the 2003 award with Luther Vandross for Dance With My Father, says he "isn't sure what the award means anymore, nor am I sure what the criteria really are. If (Bruno Mars') Grenade wins, are all six writers going on stage? Did it really take six guys to write that song?"
But Terius "The-Dream" Nash, who scooped up an award for 2009's four-writer hit, Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), thinks the Grammys are right to celebrate a new breed of songwriter steeped in collaboration and spectacle. "It's all about creating that bang when you hear it," he says.
Here are Nash's and Marx's thoughts about this year's song of the year contenders (all written or co-written by the performer), and who they think might grab the Grammy:
All of the Lights, Kanye West
Nash: "I'm biased here because I wrote the (uncredited) hook for the song, but that aside, what I love is that it really makes you feel like you're at a big music party, which is what it was when it was being made."
Marx: "I hear it and I think of Eminem, frankly. It's an interesting production, but I can't quite relate to it."
The Cave, Mumford & Sons
Nash: "I haven't heard this song much, but it does feel timeless because it delivers a sound that you don't really expect. As a musician, I get off on that. It really builds and then explodes."
Marx: "I enjoy this record, but when you break it apart, I can't crawl into it. I'm looking for poetry in the lyrics, to hear things that really resonate, said in a way that perhaps they've never been said before."
Grenade, Bruno Mars
Nash: "I'm a huge fan of his, he's got such a unique style and pop sensibility. I like the way he uses the (title's) metaphor to talk about love."
Marx: "It's got a great pop punch, and the lyrics are talking about a place everyone's been to, an age-old sentiment. I'm just not sure they're being said in a totally new way."
Rolling in the Deep, Adele
Nash: "I love this record. Adele is unstoppable right now, she just has the Midas touch. Like all great records rooted in R&B, it's all about feeling, and she's got it."
Marx: "If this (Grammy) is about performance, then maybe it doesn't win. But if it's about the craft of weaving music with lyrics, it's got to be Rolling in the Deep. I like her song Set Fire to the Rain even more. I hear it and go, 'Why didn't I write that?' I love feeling that sense of envy when you hear the perfect song."
Holocene,Bon Iver
Nash: "This song came out of nowhere, and I just love the melody. I played it for a friend who was like, 'What are you listening to?' But I said, 'Hey, I'm a songwriter, and I want to hear what's out there.' "
Marx: "I'm not sure if I'm responding to the song, or to its ethereal production and mood. If this should win, we are truly redefining what a classic song is."

Barbecue is a distinctly American art form, much like jazz music and feigning an understanding of jazz music. Discuss the smoky notes with this Groupon.
$10 for $20 Worth of Barbecue
The menu includes plates with one ($9.95) or two meats ($12.95) selected from a choice of six, including slow-smoked brisket and sausage. The neighborhood restaurant's other options include fries topped with a choice of pulled pork, brisket, or chicken ($6.95) or up to 24 wings tossed in a choice of buffalo or barbecue sauce ($5.95 - $19.95).
Balboa Barbie-Q
Pigging out is not often encouraged, but it's a welcome and apt approach to eating Balboa Barbie-Q's Big Pig sandwich. Starting with hearty heaps of pulled pork and hot links, the sandwich then takes on four slices of bacon and a flood of BBQ sauce. Like all of Balboa Barbie-Q's meats - including ribs, chicken, and brisket - the Big Pig's pork and hot links are slow-smoked daily in a custom-made smoker. From there, the meats fill sandwiches or team up with house-made sides like potato salad and slaw on a platter. And due to the freshly made dishes, the tangy aroma of BBQ sauce wafts throughout Balboa Barbie-Q, encouraging patrons to chow down in bayside eatery's indoor and outdoor dining areas, which offer stunning views of Newport Harbor, the Pacific Ocean, and poker-playing seals.

28th March 2003, 10:04 AM
It will depend on what type of gauge you get, Autometer is the most common. I used a cup pod to install mine and I thought it looked good.
Eric's Boost Gauge (http://www.lehigh.edu/~erp4/saab/Upgrades/BoostGauge.html) Some prefer an integrated pod which you can see here.
Slaab's Boost Gauge (http://www.sounddomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=238210&page=7)
8th April 2003, 09:10 PM
how much would something like that cost to do?
9th April 2003, 12:05 PM
I got one from an Excursion. But I had to heat up the bottom and shape to fit the pillar.
Cost me $30
9th April 2003, 12:43 PM
a store around here told me that you can use a 95 eclipse pod aqnd that would fit
9th April 2003, 07:50 PM
let me rephrase, how much do you think someone would charge me to have it done like slaabs or trexturks. i'm not too comfortable w/ doing that myself
9th April 2003, 10:55 PM
Felbie----> For my car I tryied the eclipse gauge pod and it didn't work. It only fit on one side and didn't go around the bend.
squishmann----> To tell you the truth, its not that hard, took me like around 10 minutes. I just floated it over a stove top and a distance and molded it. But im sure a local import performance shop could find someone that does it.
10th April 2003, 12:35 PM
i'm sure fitting it on there is no problem but i would be clueless in actually hooking it up
10th April 2003, 08:04 PM
It just takes time. The end result you will like. If you need help just ask, its quite easy.

Because Marvin Williams is so talented, he seems to make things look easy on the floor - almost like he's coasting. But those who have extensively watched Williams play know better. Dave Babcock, the Milwaukee Bucks' player personnel director says, "He's more aggressive and tenacious than people give him credit for." If anyone underestimates Williams' passion for the game, they certainly can't question his basketball abilities. Even as a high school player in Bremerton, Wash., NBA officials were impressed with Williams' exquisite all-around game. If Williams had decided to turn pro last year coming out of high school, he would have been a sure-fire lottery selection. (Racine Journal Times)

This year, I'm doing something huge and amazing!
On Saturday, June 3, I will be modeling in one of Austin's most theatrical and esteemed fundraisers - Art Bra® Austin - benefiting the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC). Art Bra® Austin is a fully-costumed, professionally produced runway show and auction that raises funds to support local women who, like me, have been affected by breast cancer.
By supporting me, you will ensure the next woman diagnosed with breast cancer will have a place to ask their questions, explore their options, and connect with fellow survivors and lifers who can relate in a way no one else can.
The BCRC newly diagnosed class and patient navigators answered all of my questions that family and friends could not. Their staff have experienced breast cancer first hand and can relate. Art Bra Austin is responsible for raising 1/3 of BCRC's budget and has a direct relationship on BCRC's ability to retain its patient navigators and offer its education classes, support groups, and financial assistance programs.
Please help me ensure every woman gets the help she needs, and consider a contribution towards my Art Bra® Model fundraising efforts. I HAVE UNTIL JUNE 3RD TO REACH MY GOAL!!
To donate, click on the 'Donate Now' button on the top of this page!
Thank you! I appreciate your support!

Mariners Nab Two Potential 1B Options
By Darek Sharp / 620wdae.com
It was almost as if the Seattle Mariners wanted to press the issue on a trade for David Price.
Wednesday night Seattle didn't just grab one of the Rays' potential first base candidates, the Mariners got two of them.
First Seattle landed Corey Hart on a one-year contract worth $6 million but potentially worth double that with incentives. Seattle as well traded for Florida's Logan Morrison.
Read our friend Marc Topkin HERE for what impact this may have on Tampa Bay, including the freeing up of Justin Smoak who the Rays might like as well.

Saving a YankeePin It
After creating my vases and votives for the Martha Stewart glass paint campaign, I just couldn't stop. I literally ran around the house finding as many glass containers as I could to deck out in paint. Once I ran out of empty jars, I had to get creative and the first thing that came to mind was my army of Yankee candles.
They are wonderful and make my home smell delicious, but I don't like the labels. Typically I just turn them around (see above) and use them plain, but now that I have a truckload of silkscreens and glass paint at my disposal, I can save them from the plain life!
PS - Want to see more rescued Yankees?
I'm showing off some at Houzz today with behind-the-scenes photos of all the fall projects I've been working on!!
