Canada green-tech sector eyes tax breaks in federal budget
By Alastair Sharp and Leah Schnurr
TORONTO/OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian companies working on energy-efficient innovations are looking to Tuesday's federal budget to deliver tax breaks and other incentives as part of billions of dollars of stimulus spending pledged by the new Liberal government.
The Liberals, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, were elected last October after promising deficit spending to boost the economy, with money for green projects accounting for one-third of C$5 billion ($3.83 billion) in infrastructure spending in fiscal 2016-17.
Green technology executives say their industry boasts plenty of "shovel-ready" projects of the type Ottawa hopes will boost near-term growth. But they also want support that will benefit them in the longer term.
"There is a massive global opportunity here, and we happen to be ready to take advantage of it," said Tom Rand, whose ArcTern Ventures fund has C$45 million invested in domestic companies and aims to raise another C$200 million this year.
Canada had almost $12 billion of a roughly $1 trillion global market for green technology in 2015, according to Analytica Advisors. But its market share has shrunk since 2008 as countries such as Germany and South Korea increasingly support their own companies.
Rand and other industry players want Tuesday's budget to include C$1 billion in loan guarantees to backstop proven technologies pitching for their first commercial contracts. They are also keen for tax credits akin to those for investments in riskier oil and gas and mining projects.
The industry players want C$1.25 billion for Sustainable Development Technology Canada, a government funded foundation that backs green technology companies, and C$500 million to boost venture capital backing.
"It's a land grab out there, and the quicker Canada can get its technologies into the global market for clean energy, the bigger share we're going to have down the road," said Curtis VanWalleghem, chief executive of Hydrostor Inc, an underwater energy storage project developer. Continued...

Among President Barack Obama's abundant initial achievements -- bringing peace to Gaza by the mere specter of his looming presidency, at least according to Rachel Maddow.
Maddow's gooey reverence for Obama was on full display Monday night as her MSNBC show was broadcast live from the Mall in Washington.
Teasing an upcoming segment, Maddow made this confident assertion --
Coming up on part two of our very last Lame Duck Watch, NBC correspondent Richard Engel will join us live with the latest news from Gaza City, for the last legacy of the Bush administration abroad may be Israeli troops pulling out of Gaza literally on the occasion and because (forefinger raised for further emphasis) Barack Obama is being inaugurated tomorrow.
The man hasn't even taken office and we're already witnessing retreat.
In the next segment, Maddow introduced Engel, who responded with the same coiled civility of Pam the receptionist greeting Michael Scott in "The Office." As for Maddow's previous finger-raised assertion, whaddya know, it soon got muddied --
MADDOW: Israeli troops continue to withdraw from the Gaza Strip after a three-week campaign of airstrikes and ground assaults that have killed 1,300 people in an effort to clear out Hamas rockets that were being fired into Israel. One Israeli Foreign Ministry source told CNN that the withdrawal could be completed by the time Barack Obama was sworn in. It could be that Israel is pegging its military strategy to our political calendar and our political reality. It seems that Israel wants the new president's first Middle East task to be going after terrorism and not encouraging a cease-fire or demanding that Israel withdraw from Gaza.
Not that indiscriminate firing of thousands of Hamas rockets at civilians in Israel constitutes "terrorism," mind you. And did you catch Maddow's leaden segue from "because" to "it could be" and "it seems"?
Maddow often refers to what she does as "reporting," which might explain Engel's discomfort in dealing with her. But as shown here, Maddow is as much a journalist as Raymond Burr was a lawyer. Playing one on TV isn't the same, despite of the fervor of Maddow's credulous fans.
Left unmentioned by Maddow, and Engel for that matter, is any mention of why Israel might doubt they'll get a fair shake from our new president -- inconvenient praise for Obama from a Hamas spokesman last April, which liberals were adamant did not constitute a formal endorsement.
Once again, as Maddow has done every time Gaza has come up in the last month on her MSNBC and Air America broadcasts (and I've seen and heard them all), she chides Israel for its reluctance to allow media access into Gaza, and doesn't mention that other nation bordering Gaza -- Egypt -- which presumably could also allow reporters and camera crews into Gaza, were it so inclined. But doing so runs the risk of allowing journalists to report on Hamas rockets being launched from playgrounds and hospital roofs.
In fairness to Maddow, there is precedent for the transition of power in Washington appearing to bring about dramatic change in the Middle East. Best example -- Iranian militants releasing American hostages shortly after Reagan took office in 1981.
Democrats have insisted that it was Jimmy Carter's strenuous negotiations in the waning days of his presidency that got our people released, and that Iran timed it to "embarrass" Carter. But if this was Iran's intent, why not wait a week or two after Reagan took office, thereby genuinely embarrassing Carter by not allowing him to claim any credit?
Furthermore, what did Carter offer in concession? Iranian assets in the US seized shortly after our people were taken captive. In law enforcement circles, this is known as "ransom."
In retrospect, it appears obvious why Iran released our people when it did -- the imminent arrival of a new sheriff in Washington, one who brimmed with confidence and scorned the notion of American malaise. Put another way, it took Carter 14 months to free the hostages. For Reagan, it took 14 minutes.
Another example comes to mind of a new presidency bringing about change in the Middle East. I'm looking at the front page of the Boston Globe from Jan. 20, 1993, the date of Bill Clinton's first inauguration. Centered on Page 1 is a photo of Clinton kneeling at the grave of his political idol, JFK. And across the top of the page, a bold headline in larger than usual font -- "Iraq makes offers to UN, Clinton".
The story reads --
WASHINGTON -- Saddam Hussein directed a burst of concessions at the United Nations and the incoming Clinton administration yesterday, shortly after US warplanes again clashed with Iraqi air defenses.
The president-elect's team responded to the Iraq moves with a blunt warning that the new administration expects "full compliance with all the requirements of the UN resolutions."
Just 24 hours before Bill Clinton's swearing in, a statement issued by the Iraqi Revolutionary Command Council announced a unilateral, indefinite cease-fire in Iraqi skies starting midnight yesterday and called on the new US administration to open talks.
The cease-fire would mean that Iraqi air defenses would no longer fire on US, British and French warplanes patrolling the no-fly zones in northern and southern Iraq.
In a separate move, Baghdad informed the United Nations that UN weapons inspectors could resume their flights into Iraq. Baghdad was no longer placing any conditions on the flights, an Iraqi diplomat in the UN mission said.
The following month, on the second anniversary of the US-led invasion to oust Iraq from Kuwait, terrorists led by Ramzi Yousef tried to destroy the World Trade Center. Their second attempt, eight years later and planned by Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, was far more successful.
One of the alleged conspirators in the initial attack, Abboud Yasin, abruptly departed for Iraq after he was questioned and released by the FBI (the New York Times story of June 10, 1993 linked in the preceding sentence also reports that Yousef is "believed to have fled to Iraq").
This is not to suggest in any way, shape or form that Iraq is remotely connected to 9/11, as the dominant liberal mantra of the decade reminds us. To even consider such a possibility is evidence of delusion or, worse, independent thought.
The notion of change abroad hastened by the transition of power in America is hardly earth-shattering. But seeing those changes with anything resembling clarity often takes years.

One pound is a lot. You should consider that coffee goes stale about 2 weeks after roasting and maybe want to roast enough for 2 weeks at a time. So that you don't need to freeze. But of course you can freeze.
What kind of coffee you make? That will tell you how much you need to roast.
Which roaster are you looking at?
I very well might start a thread later in the future. I mean, up to a pound I should say, I do buy in roughly .5 lb amounts, actually maybe a tad more. For a while now, I drink French press exclusively. (I used to have an espresso machine back when, actually I've had two.) On occasion, I make vacuum coffee as well. I watched the vid for the cheapest home roaster I found at SM, the Behmor 1600, but haven't found the time to investigate why the more expensive ones could be worthwhile.
Who knows how many lbs of coffee I could ruin while learning, but like I said before, a home roaster once told me how dirt cheap coffee beans are in bulk, and that I could buy in bulk because of how extremely long they last, so I don't think I'd lose much money in that sense. Of course, I need to confirm these things, which I haven't got around to. I've been buying bulk herbs from the internet too lately, I'm into bulk
Oh, wide mouth jars are on their way.

Diamond and Cliff Lakes Trail is a 2.8 mile out and back trail located near Superior, Montana that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, trail running, camping, and nature trips and is best used from June until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
As of June 2nd the road is covered in snow fields about 5 miles away from the trailhead. Still some awesome views. Hopefully the trailhead is accessible by July.
Gorgeous views all the way up the trail to the lake and on the way down. This trail started off easy and towards the top became steeper. There was areas of snow, which added to the fun of the hike.
Debbie J.
The trail starts out pretty easy, going up and down the valley, but after awhile it quickly starts to incline and is covered with a lot of overgrown underbrush and you can't really see where you're stepping, so watch out for holes in the trail! Once you start to incline you have a beautiful view of the valley below and you can see why there are warning signs for Black and Grizzly bears. There are Elder Berry bushes everywhere and we encountered several fresh bear tracks further up the trail. The trail continues to incline, but at least the underbrush is decreased by the introduction of the heavy forest. There are several crossings of beautiful creeks with foot bridges and wooden steps. Upon arrival at the first lake, we were astonished at the beauty of the alpine country. The lake was set in a "bowl", surrounded by tall mountains. There was snow on all sides of the hills and we were up there at the end of August. There are only a couple of campsites to spend the night at, but it was well worth the trip.

UPDATE 3-Starent posts higher net, raises 2009 profit view
* Q1 non-GAAP EPS $0.22 beats estimates by $0.06
* Q1 revenue beats estimates
* Maintains 2009 revenue outlook
* Shares up almost 13 pct after the bell (Adds outlook)
By S. John Tilak
BANGALORE, April 23 (Reuters) - Starent Networks (STAR.O: Cotización), which helps mobile operators deliver multimedia services to subscribers, posted a 32 percent rise in quarterly profit and lifted its earnings outlook for the year, driving its shares up almost 13 percent.
Starent, which counts Sprint-Nextel (S.N: Cotización) and Verizon Wireless among its biggest customers, said on a conference call that it expects a profit of 71 cents to 74 cents a share in 2009.
The company, whose infrastructure equipment is used by wireless carriers to offer video, multimedia messaging and voice-over-IP services, had previously projected earnings of 65 cents to 68 cents a share for the year.
Starent, however, stood by its revenue outlook of $315 million for the period. Continuación...

HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
The HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer is a great device that fits perfectly into my fast paced and mobile lifestyle. My first impression of the printer itself was how incredibly compact and sleek the device was.
HP OfficeJet 250 Mobile Printer
Wireless printing from my iPhone was also a handy feature, the whole experience was quick and seamless with no setup requirements - accessed through the default iOS printing menu options.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.

|Construction cost
|€ 30 million (renovated)

|CFR Cluj (1973–present)
Dr. Constantin Rădulescu Stadium, informally also known as CFR Cluj Stadium, is a football-only stadium in the Gruia district, Cluj-Napoca, Romania and is home ground of CFR Cluj. The stadium is named after Constantin Rădulescu, a former player, coach and doctor.
The stadium was originally built in 1973. Before 2004 it had a capacity of about 10,000 seats, hosting the home games of CFR Cluj, mostly in the second and third divisions of the Romanian league.
As CFR Cluj qualified for the Champions League group stage in 2008, the stadium was renovated and expanded to qualify as a 3-star UEFA stadium. The expansion was designed by Dico si Tiganas, built by Transilvania Construction, and completed in September 2008, increasing the capacity to 23,500 seats. Today, Dr. Constantin Rădulescu stadium has the same UEFA rating (***) as Stadionul Steaua, Stadionul Ceahlăul and Stadionul Dan Păltinișanu.
There are plans for further expansions. A fourth stand of about 2,000 places is planned to be built on the north end of the stadium, and thus closing the arena.
The stadium was inaugurated with an international game between CFR Cluj and the national team of Cuba, a game that CFR Cluj won with 3–1.
On 6 September 2008, Romania played Lithuania in a 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier. It was the first game of the Romanian national team in Cluj-Napoca after 85 years.
Notable matches[edit]
- 2008: CFR Cluj – Chelsea 0–0 (First Champions League game)
- 2008: CFR Cluj – Girondins de Bordeaux 1–2 (UEFA Champions League)

Modern chemistry is a broadly diverse science positioned at the interface of physics, biology and mathematics. The chemistry curriculum at Berry College combines a solid background in the fundamental principles of chemistry with firsthand experience using state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.
There are two majors available within the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department. Both the Chemistry major and the Biochemistry major lead graduates to careers in industry, research or education. The Biochemistry major has also been very popular with pre-medicine students since the requirements include most of the courses needed to prepare a student for medical school.
Our Department has earned the distinction of approval by the American Chemical Society (ACS). Only 15 other Colleges and Universities in Georgia are ACS-approved. The Chemistry Department offers ACS-accredited degrees in both Chemistry and Biochemistry. These accredited degrees are especially helpful for those students planning on attending graduate school to obtain a Masters or Ph.D. in Chemistry.
Our Department has also earned the distinction of approval by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Only 64 other Colleges and Universities in the United States are ASBMB-approved. This accredited degree are especially helpful for those students planning on attending graduate school to obtain a Masters or Ph.D. in Biochemistry or Molecular Biology.
The smaller class sizes offered at Berry College provide a more personalized learning experience for students than the auditorium-sized classes often found at large universities. You'll find that contact with chemistry professors can be as easy as waiting until after class to ask questions or planning a longer visit during office hours. Our faculty members are committed to knowing you as an individual and to helping you develop to your fullest potential. They want to help you achieve your personal goals.
Chemistry is a hands-on science. Learning chemistry involves much more than learning from a book. Learning chemistry means learning how to DO chemistry. This requires experience in the laboratory performing experiments that illustrate concepts discussed in class. Learning chemistry also means learning how to use state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation. At Berry, you won't just look at scientific instrumentation, you'll use it – starting in your freshman year!
Engaging in research activities alongside faculty members is an enriching part of the chemistry education available at Berry College. While classes and labs teach the important concepts and experimental techniques crucial to your success as a chemist, a true education in chemistry requires independent thought and working through the difficult problems that novel research efforts offer. Our faculty members are active researchers. Chemistry majors are able to select from research projects spanning all the major areas of chemistry.
The chemistry department hosts three or four outside speakers each semester as part of our "Cheminar" Series, including faculty from other colleges and universities, representatives of industry, and successful Berry alumni with amazing stories to tell about how their Berry education led to their success. These programs will help you learn about the varied types of jobs and/or graduate programs in chemistry available to you across the nation. They also will inspire you!
In addition to involvement with research activities, many of our majors also are employed by the department through the college's Student Work Experience Program. Some of these students are paid as research assistants. Some students are hired to work as laboratory and teaching assistants for the department. These students help to prepare the laboratories for lab courses, and also to maintain chemical instrumentation and equipment. They are present during laboratory sessions to answer questions and demonstrate techniques for other students. This type of assistantship is definitely learning in action, and it has made our majors stand out from those at other schools when looking for jobs or applying to graduate school.

laying slate
I'm getting ready to lay some porcelain "slate" looking tile in an entryway, along with matching real slate border tile sheets. I grout floated the same porcelain tile in our master bath with no problems. I'm a little concerned about using the grout float for the slate border as there are lots of little grooves and crevices. Any suggestions for keeping it clean? Should I sponge it as I go, or will this have a detrimental effect on the grout(to much water)?

Listen to my warning (kid's poem)
Listen to my warning -
the TRUTH this time.
If you slide down the bannister
that floor at the bottom
falls away and you
drop like a stone
to a dark monster's cave.
Then since you're gone
the trap closes shut
and no one misses you ….
so listen to your MOM!

Howdy Brian,
I will first confess to ribbing you for the ladder out of pure envy. It is a cool ladder. I would love to have one.
I can't see how seeing an ad for corona and then going to get a coors has any benifit for the corona people.The people who paid the money for the ad. .... I really just don't see it. As far as beer goes , I don't drink. at all. I come from a long line of professional alcoholics
, and I was determined to break the chain.
I'm talking about ads BTW - not shelf space/availability.
Advertising and marketing are different things , right? Isn't marketing more research based , as opposed to ads , which tell you about something new or improved ? Ads are usually full of lies and borderline BS anyways , that's why they all have the fine print at the bottom.
Do you work for/run an ad agency or something?
If so - whoops! I'm not trying to make anyone feel un-needed..... But-- If they stopped advertising Marlboro all together , I'm certain that they would STILL have all their customers.
Same goes for Budwieser.
Unless they all saw a Joe Camel ad or a nice couple on the beach or something... then who knows
Hope I didn't offend - I just like to feel like I can think for myself.

Cross Country Set to Compete at C-USA Championships
Oct. 26, 2012
El Paso – The UTEP cross country team will be traveling to Hattiesburg, Miss. for the 2012 Conference USA Championships on Monday.
Anthony Rotich leads the men's team having already claimed three crowns this season for the Miners. The freshman clocked in a personal-best of 23:01 in the 8K at the 2012 NCAA Pre-National competition. Rotich was earned three C-USA Athlete of the Week honors during his 2012 campaign. He continues to impress having only lost one race this cross country season as he crossed the finish line second at the Cowboy Jamboree with a time of 24:29.26.
Fellow teammate Elphas Maiyo has also proven to be a threat this year on the course. The freshman registered a personal-best of 23:54.2 at the Pre-National meet. He also crossed the finish line second at the 2012 Lori Fitzgerald meet helping the Miners claim the meet title.
Elkana Rotich is the only senior on the UTEP squad this season and has always been a force for the Miners. The Kenyan native claimed the conference title in 2010 and was runner-up in last year's competition. Rotich posted a season best time of 24:16.1 in the men's 8K race at the Pre-Nationals meet. The senior took third place at the Lori Fitzgerald home meet clocking in a time of 15:26.48.
The women's team is led by senior Risper Kimaiyo, who finished second at last year's C-USA championships with a time of 16:14.7. The three-time All-American has finished on top in two meets this season and was named C-USA Athlete of the Week three times this season. Kimaiyo most recently, registered a personal-best of 19:46 in the 6K at the 2012 NCAA Pre-Nationals race.
Senior Karina Garcia will also be running in her last conference championships. The Mexican native recorded a time of 21:40.9 at the Pre-National event and was the second collegiate runner to cross the finish line at the Lori Fitzgerald meet.
Full results will be available online after the meet at utepathletics.com.

I have been shocked by some of the media this past week- Barrie Cassidy writing for ABC or Jenny Noyes writing for Daily Life are two examples of articles being regularl cited that exemplify the problem. Both contain speculation and lead to confusion, shedding more heat than light, and unfortunatly both are bereft of solid, rational, nuanced arguments or any kind of, you know, evidence to support their strong views. The worst one I personally read was the one on The Conversation by a lecturer in Sports Management from Sydney- it is legitimately jaw droppingly illogical in the sense that it makes huge statements without a shred of supporting evidence. Just big statement after big statement, supposing that Australia's sporting culture is completely racist. It's simply a horrendous and blatant example of someone picking up the Goodes issue and using it to jump on their personal soapbox. I find the article offensive- being a long time sporting fan who actually attends sporting matches of various sports and participates in them at community level- to read stuff like that from an ivory tower grandstander.
However, Waleed Aly has taken the cake by virtue of the sheer amount of people jerking off after listening to his comments, and the amount of people making statements like "Waleed has the final word". Even an ex basketball teammate of mine- who has had a distinguished career in sports journalism and now holds a senior position on one of Australia's premier sporting websites- approvingly quoted Aly, claiming he'd hit the nail on the head.
But what did the untouchable Waleed actually say? (You can watch the Youtube video but it only went for a minute or two- this is the crux of his view and what everybody has been raving about and quoting). As summarised in an Online Opinion piece:
Waleed Aly has said that it reveals that Australians are generally tolerant of minorities "until they demonstrate that they don't know their place…the moment a person in a minority position acts as though they're not a mere supplicant then we lose our minds… we say you need to get back in your box."
But, let's analyse this for a second.
This is a country who had an unmarried female, atheist, childless, prime minister. Those are all things –being childless, being unmarried, self-identifying as an atheist- that are minority positions in Australia.
This is a sporting code which was the first sport in Australia - in the 1990's- to take the proactive step of enacting race legislation in its own code. A sporting code where over 10% of the players are of indigenous heritage (compared to their 2% representation in the population) and where reported events of actual proven racial discrimination are extremely rare- both on field and from spectators. This is a sport with about two or three times as many people attending matches compared to any other sport in the country. Yet how often is there a player making an official complaint of legitimate racism from another player or a spectator? Very rare. The previous CEO of the AFL- who reigned for 11 years and presided over what has so far been easily the most successful period in the game's history- is the son of Greek immigrants.
Australia is the third most multi-cultural country in the OECD. Melbourne and Sydney – where Goodes plays 80% of his football- must be two of the most multi cultural cities in the world. The stats show that 80% of second generation Australians marry someone with a different ethnic background. I have experienced this myself! This is an extremely multicultural place, and by and large we live in peace. So in this context, what does "minority" actually mean? There certainly isn't a clear "Majority" in Australia like there is almost anywhere else around the world.
Melbourne is where Waleed is based. It is the home of footy, and it is a place where we had a female premier nearly 30 years ago, where the most successful leader of this century is of Lebanese heritage, and where our longest ever serving Lord Mayor was an Asian with an accent so strong that at times he was hard to understand- but we loved him anyway. In fact, many of us loved him BECAUSE of that!
So what on earth is Waleed going on about? I'd honestly love to know. And more importantly, why are so many people fawning over his comments? Listening to him you could get the impression that minorities are despised or devoid of opportunity. But that's not the case- the facts suggest otherwise.
I wonder who is is sowing seeds of division here- the sporting fans getting stuck into Adam Goodes, or our media commentators who are creating a hypothetical world where Australians hate minorities- a world that has little resemblance to the real world I've been describing above? Possibly both. The difference is, one of these groups will now stop.

Carbon copy designs such as Volkswagen.

Even worse is carbon copy designs that have ugly flame surfacing and giant gaping maw grilles.
Seriously buddy, get over it.
And you can drive a car on bags with stretched tires in a spirited manner.
Bags can be raised. Modern bags perform almost as good as stock suspension. That 215 stretched tire is really no worse than the 225 that came stock. Performance mods don't cease to work just because you stretched a tire and lowered the car.
The LED rhinestones are getting way out of control.
Catfish mouth can go away too. Eck.

Gone: 2010 VW GTI
Yes, a 215 is generally no worse than a 225 when put on the same stock wheel. But, when you put a 215 on say a 10" wide wheel, thats some pretty serious stretch, not to mention incredibly unsafe. Sure, performance mods will work fine on stretched tires, staggered wheels on FWD cars, and bags, but enjoy that understeer bro.
If you want to wrap your BBS with rubber bands be my guest, but there is no way you can make a valid argument that idiotic stretched tires work just as well.
-19"+ Wheels on small cars need to die. I want my 13" and 14" wheels back.
-17"+ Wheels on trucks need to die. My old trucks towed/stopped just fine with smaller diameter brakes (Geez a set of tires on a newer truck will set you back a grand or more now for cheap crap aka: Goodyear's)

-Lack of Manual transmission options (2012 F350 Super Crew Diesel does not have a MT option, neither do a lot of cars it seems)
-Hydraulic Clutch's (These are even making their way into the Class 8 Vehicle market now....)
-Retro Muscle car design (the Mustang, Camero, and Charger look like crap compared to the old ones)
-Pulsing Turn signals (Like on the New style mustangs)
^ wow.

BMW's gear selectors, when mounted on the console. The design makes sense if they're column shift, but if it's not going to save space on the console, why bother?
"Cut and paste" styling that doesn't translate. I FINALLY figured out that what Ford tried to do with the Fiesta sedan rear end was to make it look like a small Taurus. An OK idea at a boardroom meeting, but the end product looks...well, you be the judge.

I assume they all gave up working with the IIHS to reduce repair costs looking at these new headlights that protrude out enough to guarantee they will get busted in even the smallest corner impact.
removed because realized just as annoying as the people that refuse to turn off their phone app's auto-spam with every post.
I know it's not new, but I wish I never had to see a car with a bass boat glitter paint job or a set of 26"-30" wheels on an old car that was originally made with 14"s or any car for that matter. I know it's a personal taste thing but it looks like shat.
Car Colors. Most cars have an exciting color selection of
White, Silver, Grey, Dark Grey, Dark Blue, Black
Blue may not even be included. Why cant we have brighter colors, design cars to look good with pastels and such. This is probably why I loved cars from the 50s,60s and 70s. There was so many vibrant colors.
Larger Wheels also suck. The price of rubber is expensive, and forcing me to get an 19+inch wheel is more than I can afford pal.
High Belt lines suck. They cause windows to become smaller, Wheels to become larger, and make cars seem fatter.
Last but not least, Headlight designs. In my opinion, cars from this era won't age as well as others from before. A simpler headlight design helps a car age, just look at a lot of cars from the bubble headlight time (Mercedes, I'm looking at you). They aged pretty badly. Now look at the 3rd gen TL, the headlights are a simple horizontal design, nothing fancy. The car looks amazing to this day.
I know the design of the car has a lot to do with it, but cars that follow headlight trends tend to age terribly because once a new headlight design comes out, the old one immediately looks bad.
I hate this new trend with lame LED strips or headlight designs. Check out the LED strip on the Porsches and you will see the lame afterthought they appear to be.
Fake vents are everywhere and look and are terrible.
Fake carbon fiber items kills me too
Notice the dashboards on these cars? They are all the same!
Surely a company could come up with some good looking two tone designs. Even many of the colors are bland and subdued. One break from this has been the Copper that has been somewhat popular lately. I haven't figured out whether I like the color or not yet or if I just like seeing a different color now and then.

[MLS SPOTLIGHT] The place was packed, the rain pelted down, Timber Jim fired up his chainsaw, the fans bounced and roared, and the home team won. Barely.
Opening Night for MLS soccer in Portland turned out perfectly, except for the Chicago Fire, which was thoroughly drenched and doused at the final whistle of a 4-2 spectacle at Jeld-Wen Field Thursday
Jorge Perlaza scored twice as the expansion Timbers and their fans overwhelmed the opposition in a powerful testament to the power of this game in this Northwest city.
Yet the visitor provided far more drama than home fans wanted by rallying with a pair of second-half goals to trim a 3-0 laugher into a one-goal, teeth-clencher before a grotesquely ugly late goal restored the party mood.
Fans -- 18,627 of them -- braved a driving rain to fill the stadium well before kickoff and flags of various colors and designs fluttered as thousands of voices deliriously sang the national anthem. An early disallowed goal briefly dampened the mood, but when Perlaza drove up the left flank in the 29th minute to dribble a ball through Logan Pause's tackle and then roll it past keeper Sean Johnson, a thunderous din greeted the team's first MLS goal at home. Timber Jim needed a few pulls to get the chainsaw revved up, and when he finally tore into a massive log the fans saluted him as well.
Paired with Kenny Cooper up front, Perlaza sliced through the Fire defense to spark many of Portland's relentless attacks. The Timbers were also potent on set plays, as evidenced in the 38th minute when left back Rodney Wallace stepped into a partially cleared corner kick to drill a low shot that whistled past Johnson into net.
Perlaza scored again in the second minute of the second half when Johnson fumbled a low ball in the wet conditions and Perlaza banged it home from a few yards out. Chicago cut open the middle of Portland's defense to get a goal back in the 65th minute when defender Eric Brunner's tackle at the edge of the penalty area steered the ball into his own net, and Marco Pappa narrowed the lead to a goal 15 minutes later with a bending shot that keeper Jake Gleeson could only tip on its way under the bar.
Cooper's fortunes neatly encapsulated the frantic, crazed atmosphere that reverberated before, during, and after the game. In the 11th minute, he had headed home a Jack Jewsbury corner kick, but referee Ricardo Salazar waved it off while gesturing for a pushing foul that replays didn't reveal.
But he and the Timbers got a clinching goal in the 84th minute when Cooper flagged down another Jewsbury corner kick with his arm as he jumped with several players, and in the ensuing melee under the crossbar the ball caromed into the net. Fire players protested fiercely but the goal stood; as Timber Mamadou "Futty" Danso tried to force the ball over the line, Fire defender Dasan Robinson's clearance instead wound up behind him.
Act Two is Sunday against FC Dallas.
Portland 4, Chicago 2.
Goals: Perlaza (Alhassan) 29, Wallace 38, Perlaza 47, Danso 84; own goal (Brunner) 65, Pappa (Oduro) 81.
Portland – Gleeson; Purdy, Brunner, Danso, Wallace, Hall (Zizzo, 68), Marcelin, Jewsbury, Alhassan (Nagbe, 83), Cooper, Perlaza (Johnson, 77).
Chicago – Johnson; Anibaba, Robinson, Gibbs, Segares, Pappa, Pause, Videira (Maric, 46; Barouch, 63), Nyarko, Puerari (Oduro, 46), Chaves.
Referee: Ricardo Salazar.
Att.: 18,627.

A three years five month old boy born of a third degree consanguineous marriage, presented with blisters and erosions following minimal trauma since birth and history of blood in vomitus one week prior to admission. He was given blood transfusion prior to referral to our centre. He had history of severe constipation which responded partially to stool softeners. He was had been taking only milk and water since birth. His parents reported that the mother had suffered a first trimester abortion in the first pregnancy and another male child born after the patient had similar lesions and had died on eighth day of life following severe skin infection. On examination, the child weighed 9.7 kgs (below third centile) and was 86 cms tall (below third centile). He has multiple blisters all over the body. Polydactyly, nail dystrophy, enamel hypoplasia, dental caries, oral and palatal ulcers were noted. The abdomen was distended and bowel loops were palpable. He was diagnosed to have epidermolysis bullosa based on the classical history and examination. Skin biopsy was not done. Sigmoidoscopy was normal and oesophagogastroduodenoscopy showed narrowing in mid esophagus and multiple esophageal ulcers and webs. Barium swallow revealed a distal esophageal stricture. The child was planned for esophageal dilatation. During the second endoscopy, two openings were noted in the esophageal lumen at 15 cms. By passing a guidewire under fluoroscopic guidance, it was demonstrated that one opening continued into the narrowed esophagus while the other communicated with right sided bronchus. A 15 F Freka's tube was inserted across the esophageal stricture for feeding under fluoroscopic guidance. Feeding was started within four hours of the procedure and the child was discharged on tube feeding. This was done to allow healing of the esophagobronchial fistula and improve nutrition. Constipation improved with adequate fluids and proper nutrition.
Epidermolysis bullosa is a prototype of mechanobullous disease of stratified squamous epithelium that causes blistering and erosions secondary to minor trauma. (1) It predominantly affects the skin and mucus membranes. The gastrointestinal tract, trachea, bladder and urethra are often involved. (2) The common gastrointestinal manifestations include dysphagia, esophageal stricture, pyloric stenosis, anal stricture, chronic constipation and fecal impaction. (3) The reported prevalence of the disease is 1 in 3,00,000 live births. A genetically abnormal collagenase, the structural gene of which is located on chromosome 11, is thought to induce collagen dissociation. (4) Esophageal strictures are seen in children with epidermolysis bullosa. These occur secondary to minor trauma like swallowing solid food. Several studies have recommended total replacement of thoracic esophagus as the treatment of choice and avoidance of procedures like bougienage and endoscopy. (5-7) Techniques of five second inflation using rigiflex balloon have been reported of relieving esophageal stricture. (2) High dose corticosteroids and phenytoin too have been tried. (8,9) Colonic replacement is advised in recurrent obstruction, recurrent dysphagia and esophageal perforation. Our patient was also planned for dilatation following the barium swallow and first endoscopy. On second endoscopy prior to dilatation, an abnormal second opening was noted. Various options like placement of retrievable esophageal stent, surgery and Ryle's tube placement were considered. Due to underlying skin disease, the chances of esophageal injury, ulcer formation and poor healing would have been higher with these treatment options. The placement of Freka's tube and feeding to improve nutrition and healing was considered to be the most effective treatment option in this case.

By: Vassi Koutsaftis on March 16, 2014
Vassi Koutsaftis, a legendary guide who has been leading GeoEx tours for 29 years, was just named one of the best guides in the world by Outside magazine. The publication chose him as Best Cultural Guide in its 2014 Travel Awards, announced in the April issue. To celebrate, we asked Vassi to tell us his five favorite cultural destinations. We're presenting one each day, illustrated with one of his extraordinary photographs.
I love Tibet because of the open spaces, high mountains, clear air, beautiful sky and the opportunity to "get away" – to get lost on the plateau and be with the nomads and their animals as they walk across these clear, open expanses. When I am with these people, absorbing their life, I feel touched by a spirit of liberation.
To see more of his wonderful portfolio, visit his website. For more information on Vassi's next trip, visit Pakistan's Hunza Valley.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Floyd County Animal Control Department is responsible for all animal control operations, including Field Operations; Shelter Management and Care, and the animal adoption/rescue program for Floyd County Animal Control. To provide quality customer service in all phases of animal control operations and quality care for all animals in Floyd County.
Rescue groups wishing to rescue animals both in state and out of state, must be a non-profit organization licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and their application to rescue must be approved by the Floyd County Animal Control Director. For rescue groups located out of state, the group must also meet all of the licensing requirements in the state in which they reside. All rescue groups must have an application approved by the Floyd County Animal Control Director. Each rescue group must submit a copy of its shelter license and a list of approved agents to pick up animals from the Floyd County Animal Control Shelter on official GA DOA forms. Only the rescue license holder or an approved agent of the license holder may pick up animals from the shelter.The application, rescue hold request form, official GA DOA forms as well as our standard operating procedures may be found on our website:
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
