Facebook Inc. has launched a gift service that allows users to send items such as real stuffed animals and cupcakes to friends, pushing the social network into Amazon.com Inc.'s online retail territory as it ramps up its search for new income streams.
Facebook has established varying revenue-sharing agreements with each of the retailers it is partnering with to sell the gifts, including Starbucks.
The new service marks the social network's first official foray into dealing in physical goods. Until now it has restricted its commerce activities to gaming and digital goods such as music and movies.
The commerce strategy was announced on the same day that privacy advocates asked U.S. regulators to investigate how Facebook is using data about users' retail purchases to improve its advertising products.
The Center for Digital Democracy and the Electronic Privacy Information Center sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission, requesting it investigate whether Facebook's data-sharing agreement with Datalogix , which tracks purchases through loyalty cards, violates the settlement agreement the FTC struck with the social network over its privacy practices.
"Facebook asserts that the shared information is hashed and thus anonymous. But the Commission has stated that "hashing is vastly overrated as an 'anonymization' technique", the letter said. "It is critical that the FTC police the adequacy of these practices."
Weaving Facebook's social data into the commerce experience, like the regular reminders it sends to users about friends' birthdays, combined with knowledge of their preferences expressed through "likes" could give the social network a competitive edge if it manages to build the service significantly.
"It's this all-in-one experience that's just a few clicks," said Jed Williams, an analyst with BIA/Kelsey. "That potentially is disruptive and very compelling because of how efficient it is. Amazon has built its kingdom on efficiency."
Facebook cannot compete against Amazon's shipping and distribution infrastructure. It is also missing one crucial element of user data to make the service work: peoples' physical addresses.
When users order a gift, a Facebook message gets sent to the friend, asking them to fill in their physical address.
Facebook launched the service on Thursday with a handful of products, including cupcakes and Starbucks gift cards, but it has plans to expand to a range of goods including chocolates, socks, miniature dinosaurs and even ice cream.
In the past, Facebook offered a service that charged users to send virtual cakes or cards to friends on their birthdays or special events but it discontinued that several years ago.
"Real friends. Real gifts," is the tagline it is using to promote the new feature.
The service is enabled by technology that Facebook acquired when it bought Karma, a social gifting start-up, on the same day as its initial public offering in May.Report Typo/Error

The Art Bridge Murals of Upstate New York
Anyone traveling east to west on Kingston's Broadway may notice two murals hanging on either side of a freight rail overpass.
There's a definite desire to support the arts, and this is a very public way to do it," says Raleigh Green, the organizer for Kingston's Art Bridge project. "It takes an eyesore and turns it into an attractive artistic inflection point."
This is the second year of the Art Bridge and it's gaining in popularity, with a steady trickle of artists moving upstate for cheaper space to live and work. A panel of four local artists serve as judges and whittle 130 entries down to two winners, which will hang on either side of the railway.
This round the murals offer up a panoramic view of the Ashokan reservoir on east Broadway and the four lighthouses of the mid-Hudson on west Broadway.
(Jenna Flanagan)
Once the final pieces are chosen, they're customized for the outdoor display.
"Those pieces are then photographed in a super high resolution," says Green, "and then blown up as you see them now to be 90 feet long by nine feet high on a digital mesh and then installed."
The Art Bridge project installation hangs over the Broadway overpass from the weekend of Kingston's St. Patrick's Day parade through to Labor Day. Then the artwork goes through another metamorphosis. They will be carved up and made into tote bags by a women's homeless shelter in New York City," said Green, "and auctioned off with proceeds going to the women's homeless shelter and future Art Bridge Projects."
(Jenna Flanagan)
Kingston's Art Bridge project is supported by local businesses and the city.

2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo - Leaking Shock
I would first like to mention that I'm new to Jeep Garage and this is my first post. I apologize if my question is a repeat but I want to make sure that I'm clear.
Last weekend I purchased a ussed 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo with 32K miles. When I was inspecting yesterday I noticed a left rear leaking shock. I don't have the rear load leveling, just the standard shocks. I realize this will be covered under warranty but my question is whether or not the dealership with replace both shocks? I've ALWAYS replaced both together but I know how dealerships can sometimes be when it comes to warranties. From my research there was a service bulletin issued for the load leveling which requires replacing both. Anyone know about the standard shocks?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Re: 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo - Leaking Shock
I guess this should actually be in the WK2 section but any advice is appreciated.
My right front shock started leaking and it was replaced by the dealer under warranty. Only problem was it took them 4 days. Good luck with the new Jeep.
Re: 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo - Leaking Shock
I'm not sure how Jeep's warranty approaches this. But, if they only cover one, I would pay to have the second one replaced. But before doing that at the dealer I would see if you could get a pair changed at an independent cheaper than paying for one at the dealer.
Hopefully, they will do both and you won't have to do any shopping.
Re: 2012 Grand Cherokee Laredo - Leaking Shock
I appreciate the input. Thanks!

A slew of food contamination outbreaks prompted Congress to write the proposed Food Safety Modernization Act. The bill as currently written, though, would target not only the factory farms that have sent tainted eggs, spinach and peanuts to market, but family farms that sell mainly to local communities.
Count Missoula's Clark Fork Organics among the local producers that fear such one-size-fits-all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation could leave it and other small farms in the lurch.
"[The proposed regulations] would require a whole new infrastructure setup that we don't currently have," says Josh Slotnick, who runs Clark Fork Organics with his wife, Kim Murchison. "It could cost a tremendous amount of money for us to meet those regulatory demands, and very possibly put us out of business."
The threat to small producers spurred Sen. Jon Tester to introduce an amendment to the bill that would exempt farms with annual sales of less than $500,000 and that sell the majority of their products within the same state or 400 miles. Tester came to Missoula's PEAS Farm last Friday to promote the amendment.
The Helena-based Alternative Energy Resources Organization believes the amendment's crucial to the viability of small farms.
"We feel like it's really important for small-scale food producers and processors to be exempt from FDA regulations—not because anybody should be exempt from food safety regulations, but because state and county regulations and authorities have already been regulating that for a long time, and they do a fine job," says Kevin Moore, the group's food and agriculture program manager.
But local regulations, according to Slotnick, aren't the only things keeping farmers accountable.
"There isn't a question of our food being anonymously lost in a giant food system and never traced back," Slotnick says. "It's a look in the eye and a handshake and handing someone a box of food. They know right where it came from. Our farms are open to being visited. There's nothing to hide."
The bill and the amendment were expected to go up for a vote this week, but as of press time had yet to reach the Senate floor. Tester's office now suspects action won't be taken until after the midterm elections in November.

Dart Iron Eagle or Vortech Heads
I am building a 355 CI SBC engine. I am looking to add a pair of Budget Cast iron high performance heads. Which type would be better for high performance street use:
Dart Iron Eagle II 200cc Intake Runner
64cc Combustion chamber
2.02 Intake & 1.60 exhaust Valves
GM Vortech Heads with 170cc Intake Runner
64cc Combustion Chamber
1.94 I & 1.50 E Valves
Thanks for the assistance !
hey joe!you havent said what cam you are thinking about using,what kind of engine you are wanting to build[street /strip/inbetween?]anyway,the vortec heads are touted by tons of knowledgeable folks for good reason,they produce!WHAT THEY PRODUCE IS LOTS OF USUABLE TORQUE.,DOWNlow.and the price is almost impossible to beat[try scoggins-dickey ]by the way joe,how many engines are you building currently?,just trying to keep track!see ya!jimm
Do remember, that the GM heads flow quite well out of the box, but ther is NO option for porting, unlike the Iron eagles...
No option? You mean they don't come ported or that you can't port them?
They come flowing very well, as good as the iron eagles do out of the box, but they cant be ported any more... The Iron Eagles can.
Joe: there has been a lot written about the L31 Vortec heads. Scoggins Dickey has a chat board and you can do a search there for comments about the heads, but I can summarize it for you here.
They will flow well to 4500 rpm and then begin to fall off, so they will not make a race head at all. They flow better than any stock head GM has ever made for a SBC, better than double hump. However, they do not respond positively to porting. You can port them, but you will end up with negative results. They are already optimized. Even adding bigger valves yields little return. But you can build a 425hp motor with them right out of the box.
Though they are inexpensive to buy, there are other considerations. You must use an intake dedicated to them because they have a different bolt pattern than the older style heads. They have no guide plates and are designed to run with self aligning rocker arms. The maximum un-modified lift is .480 so the biggest cam you can get in there is the XE268H from CompCams which has a .480 lift (this is a stout cam however). You can mill down the spring seat and get more lift but frankly I would question the wisdom of doing this because the return you would get would be limited to below 4500 rpm. You cannot use 1.6:1 rockers because this would yield .528 lift. on a .480 cam. You also must use stiffer valve springs because these heads were built with mileage and a mild cam in mind.
So if you want more power than these heads will produce as stock, you better look elswhere. If you want a really nice street motor for a low price tag, you can't beat them for perfomance v. $. If you want 600hp buy AFR.
budget cast iron performance heads = vortec !!!
it's all good as long it's not a Honda
I would think that the Dart heads were more flexible then the L31's. No need for the dedicated intake and plenty of porting for future upgrades to any engine.

F-1, your vortec comments really rock! what about the gm non-vortec bow-tie variety?
[ August 21, 2002: Message edited by: bullheimer ]

Go to this site for GM parts, then you can say GM does make real good heads, this site gives all the info on engine parts,crate motors 377,383,502 motors with a warrenty. LOL George
They have heads,cams,intakes,spayed valve heads anything to do with racing.

Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
Just for some numbers go to www.chevyhiperformance.com look to the left under Car Tech then look at Tech Articales then go to the right collum click on The best Of CHP Tech scroll down click on Engine. This should open up aouther screen click on Giant Cylinder-Heds...... if you go to the bottom of this page you will see several different categorys for heads.
[ August 22, 2002: Message edited by: cc69 ]

this is just a post to get this back up next to the other vortec post.
I know this is an older post but I had to reply
Who said you can't port vortec heads???
David Vizard book "How to build Max Performance Chevy Small Blocks on a budjet!" goes into detail with graphs on how to do it! Updated 1999 Also shows how to port all the other heads as well and what you can expect: Vortec, 186/041, Corvette, World, Sportman II, etc.
Out of all the books on the subject this is the best one in my book...plus it has a long of other very good info!
True just adding bigger valves won't do it unless you do all the other work that goes with it!
Ported vortec heads with 2.05/1.6 valves:
at 28" on Quadrant Scientific FL 520
.100 70 cfm...
.200 140 cfm
.300 200 cfm ...
.400 238 cfm ...
.500 250 cfm max to .700 lift.
.100 69 cfm
.200 125 cfm
.300 160 cfm
.400 185 cfm
.500 195 cfm
.600 205 cfm max to .700 lift
Stock Vortec head flow numbers: 1.94/1.5
Another good link to compare aftermarket heads to:
http://www.kendrick-auto.com/head_flow_figures.htm
I don't know about you guys but these are pretty good numbers esp on the exhaust side! He also brought out that there was not much additional flow just by installing bigger valves or pocket porting them as you need to unshroud the bigger valves along with some additonal work to the guides ect....without this they flowed the same as the stock valves...wish he would of showed pocket porting just on the stock valves though
Best pricing I found on this book was on www.amazon.com ISBN book number is: 1-884089-34-8
Any other good updated porting books out there guys?
P.S. Here is an inexpensive elec head porting tool...I use the craftsman from Sears but this one is just if not better

[ May 17, 2003: Message edited by: Ken-96GMC K1500 SC ]

read lots and even posted a few on the virtues of the vortec heads, but am looking for something that can handle more. i am pretty impressed with the latest gmpp ad with the big gold head. at the bottom are the "Fast Burn aluminum head". they come from chebby complete for $1100. that guy who's the nat'l champ in whatever class says he runs them unported right out of the box. uhm, found it:490HP from 355cid, stock lift cam and stamped steel rocker arms. p/n is 12464298. the $1100 price is from jet chevy in everett, which isnt exactly the cheapest place around, either. i would like to have 510 lift. (which isnt stock) so i have to see if i have to do anything to them. i would like to know what kind of cam this "worlds fastest stock small block" is running. maybe mike adams has a website and doesnt mind telling all his competitors what's in his engine-haha
I have a friend running a 72 nova with vortec heads with the stock valves. Best time is 11.05 in quarter with 1.94 intake valves. There is plenty of power to be made if the engine and drivetrain are well matched and built right. The key is matching everything. But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Leaders on Cincinnati's streetcar project say winter weather delays and the decision to temporarily halt work amid a fight over the project's future cost nearly $1 million.
They said Tuesday that the extra cost was just over $987,000.
Project leader John Deatrick tells The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/QCVt6t ) that includes two days when work was stopped because of extremely cold winter weather.
Work also was halted for weeks after new Mayor John Cranley vowed not to support more spending on it. The city council chose to move ahead with the project, which is set to be finished in 2016.
The delay costs will be paid out of a contingency fund and won't add to the $133 million price tag.
Work on the first mile of the loop was completed last week.

The Sheriff's Office is notifying the public that a previously registered but un-assessed sex offender has now been assessed and assigned a risk level by the State of Arkansas. The Sheriff's Office has been informed that this offender has been designated as Risk Level 2 (moderate risk to re-offend with community notification justified).
HOME ADDRESS: 390 Surrey Dr. Lakeview, Arkansas 72642
The offender was convicted of Sexual Assault in the Third Degree (2 counts) on 03/09/2007. This offense involved the then 21-year-old offender engaging in sexual contact with a 14-year-old female acquaintance. Community notification is justified due to the young age of the victim at the time the crime occurred.
This person is not wanted by law enforcement at this time. This notification is not intended to increase fear; rather it is our belief that an informed public is a safer public. This information cannot be used to threaten, intimidate, or harass Registered Sex Offenders. Citizen abuse will not be tolerated. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement's ability to do community notification.

peeling door sill refinish -- success!
5 Attachment(s)
Hey all
I'm new here but not to Bimmers. I just refinished the interior rubberized plastic parts on my '06 750i.
I searched all the parts stores and home improvement stores for a match for my tan (natural brown) interior. No luck until I found out about SEM Color Coat products. "Camel" color was a good match so I bought some spray cans ($10 each) at my local distributor here in ATL (Vinyl-Pro).
As you can see, it came out great. This spray is specifically for plastic and needs no priming. I just did some light sanding to scuff the surface.
where did you get it from i need th exact same color????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome to the fest "the fly". That's a great upgrade. I was looking into doing something like this to my plastic pieces. Have you posted pics of your ride yet?
SEM products can be found at most Auto Paint refinishing stores. I believe O'Reilly's can order it for you. SEM is a very good product!
Your job looks great!
Good job! A perfect match.
Nice finish. I'm going to give this a shot, my interior is grey.
Nice. I have same color. Will be doing this within a week
How many cans did it take? I found a shop locally that sells that product. Going to pick some up tomorrow
EXPO I wanna give it a shot also maybe we can work together. My Interior is light grey also. What part of L.A are you?
Amazon has it available!
Just go on arm's website and put in your zip code. It'll show local shops that sell it
Looks great! This is on my to-do list, also I want to "touch up" the gray pieces on my dash pop out compartments but I doubt I will be able to spray them with out some heavy taping (don't want over spray on the wood grain)
Whenever youre ready rookie so we can see how well the new paint matches.
it took me about 1 1/4 cans, but i did several light coats. avoiding heavy coats is key. i cleaned the surface lightly with mineral spirits. the best thing about this product is that the sheen (matte) is exactly like that of the stock finish.
also, i repainted the grey door vent pictured in the last photo. pretty easy as well, but that color is much easier to find in normal stores.
NICE!!! I'm going to do this for sure! I think my interior is the same color of not a little lighter. Did you sand off all the remaing top layer of ruber that was pealing or did you leave it and paint over all parts equally?
How about weekend after Christmas?
Very nice Fly!!!
Great find! I need this myself..
You are my hero! Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my DROID X2 using Bimmer
On the pillars, i just did some light sanding and left the rubberized coating.
What color is the black I seen landau or satin???
Btw quarter28 Ur car looks great with those wheels!!
Picked my cans up today. Will be trying them out tonight
Hey Mak. What color is your interior?
Expo are you ready for next weekend? I forgot this weekend is holiday.
Awesome job Fly, I am going to attempt this on my car....never thought I could do this....Top Tip Buddy!!!

Census of Wholesale Trade
Description & Updates
The Wholesale Trade sector (sector 42) comprises establishments engaged in wholesaling merchandise, generally without transformation, and rendering services incidental to the sale of merchandise.
The wholesale sector includes: merchant wholesalers who buy and take title to the goods they sell, manufacturers sales branches and offices who sell products manufactured domestically by their own company, and agents and brokers who collect a commission or fee for arranging the sale of merchandise owned by others.
Comparability with SIC data
This sector includes most of what was classified in Wholesale Trade under the SIC system. Excluded from this sector, however, are establishments with retail selling characteristics; these establishments are now clasified in the Retail Trade sector. Prominent examples of these are auto parts, farm supplies, and building products dealers and lumber yards.
In addition, this sector now includes prerecorded video tape wholesalers; this industry was previously classified in Services Industries under the SIC system.
Geographic detail
The Economic Census publishes data for the wholesale trade sector for the U.S., states, counties, places, and metropolitan areas.
The Census of Wholesale Trade is updated by:
- Annual Wholesale Trade Survey
- Manufacturing and Trade Inventories and Sales
- Monthly Wholesale Trade Survey
- Quarterly Financial Report for Manufacturing, Mining, and Trade Corporations
- County Business Patterns
County Business Patterns is an annual series that provides subnational economic data by industry. The series is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas; analyzing economic changes over time; and as a benchmark for statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic censuses. This series has been published annually since 1964 and at irregular intervals dating back to 1946. The comparability of data over time may be affected by definitional changes in establishments, activity status, and industrial classifications.

Solar so good: The 2.5kW SunPower solar system offered to US Focus Electric customers in a joint-venture with Ford is claimed to offset the equivalent of about 19,300km of driving per year.
12 August 2011
By HAITHAM RAZAGUI
FORD has joined forces with a leading solar energy company to offer American buyers of the forthcoming Focus Electric a way of offsetting the emissions produced by fossil-fuelled power stations during the recharging of the zero-emissions car.
Customers can get a SunPower 2.5kW rooftop solar system capable of producing an average of 3000kWh of electricity a year, which Ford claims is sufficient to drive 1000 miles (1600km) a month.
The system adds about $US10,000 ($A9700) to the bill after federal tax credits, but that does not including local sales tax or any local and state EV subsidies.
This appears to be a $US2000 discount on the usual price, judging by costs quoted on the company's website.
Of course, most EV customers charge their vehicles overnight while the solar panels are lying dormant, so their cars are not directly powered by emissions-free solar energy.
In what SunPower president and CEO Tom Werner describes as a win-win for customers, the energy produced in daylight hours can be used in the home or fed back into the energy grid to cancel out both the emissions and cost of what is used while recharging the vehicle.
Left: Diagram of the SunPower system. Below: Ford Focus Electric.Customers can also track the system's performance on the internet or by using an iPhone application.
Ford says SunPower – which is also represented in Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Spain – can support the initial Focus Electric rollout in all 19 markets where the car will be launched.
As GoAuto has reported, Ford has confirmed its Focus Electric will almost certainly be the brand's first EV in Australia but its release here remains dependent on the rollout of EV infrastructure and the establishment of a solid business case based on sufficient demand.
The Focus EV's 23kWh battery is expected to provide a 160km range, while performance from the 92kW/246Nm front-drive powertrain should be relatively punchy, with a claimed top speed of 135km/h.
Like the SunPower solar setup, the car has an associated iPhone app, which in the vehicle's case monitors the battery's state of charge and current range.
Ford director of global vehicle electrification Mike Tinskey said the solar system enabled customers to reduce their total cost of ownership.
"It's an eco-friendly solution that perfectly complements our plug-in products and other green initiatives," he said.
The number of similar schemes is likely to increase as more manufacturers put EVs on the market. Ford plans to have five electrified vehicles on the market in North America by the end of next year, replicated in Europe by 2013.
The Blue Oval's first EV was the Transit Connect Electric small van launched in 2010, which will be joined by the Focus Electric in North America later this year.
Next year, the company will begin delivering hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants of its Focus-based C-Max people mover, the latter of which will be compatible with the solar set-up.
Ford already has two hybrids on the market, the Fusion and Escape, and the technology is also represented in its luxury Lincoln line-up with the MKZ.

About This Condition
Urinary Tract Infections in Children
What are urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria along the urinary tract. The urinary tract is made up of 2 kidneys that remove liquid waste from the blood in the form of urine. Narrow tubes called ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder. When the bladder is emptied, the urine travels through a tube called the urethra and passes outside the body.
Who is affected by urinary tract infections?
UTIs are uncommon in children younger than age 5, and unlikely in boys at any age, unless an obstruction is present. They are much more common in girls as a result of a shorter urethra. Uncircumcised males are more likely to develop UTIs than circumcised males. Children with a complete or partial blockage in the urinary tract are more likely to develop UTIs.
What causes a urinary tract infection?
Normal urine is sterile and contains fluids, salts, and waste products. It is free of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. An infection happens when microorganisms, usually bacteria from the digestive tract, cling to the opening of the urethra, travel up into the bladder, ureters, and/or kidneys, and begin to multiply.
Most infections arise from Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. These normally live in the colon.
What are the symptoms of a UTI?
The following are the most common symptoms of a UTI. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
In babies:
Foul-smelling urine
Poor feeding
Sudden need to urinate
Incontinence during day and/or night
Frequent urination
Painful or difficult urination
Discomfort above the pubic bone
Blood in the urine
Foul-smelling urine
Nausea and/or vomiting
Pain in the back or side below the ribs
The symptoms of a UTI may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always talk with your child's healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
How are UTIs diagnosed?
Your child's healthcare provider may suspect a urinary tract infection based on physical exam and a description of symptoms. Your child will need to provide a urine specimen for a test called a urinalysis. This is a lab test of urine to check for red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, or protein. The urine will also be sent for a culture that will find the presence of an infection.
A boy with a UTI or girls younger than age 5 or 6 may need further testing with a kidney ultrasound. This is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves and a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs. Ultrasounds are used to view internal organs as they function. They ae also used to assess blood flow through various vessels.
A voiding cystourethrography may also be needed in some children with recurrent UTI to evaluate the bladder and urethra and to detect reflux. This is when the urine backs up to the kidneys instead of flowing out through the urethra.
What is the treatment for a UTI?
Treatment may include:
A heating pad or medicines (to relieve pain)
Increased fluid intake (especially water)
Your child's healthcare provider may ask you to bring your child back into the office a few days after treatment starts to reevaluate your child.
Patient Education
Understanding UTIs in Children
A urinary tract infection, or UTI, affects the urinary tract and can be uncomfortable for children. This handout will tell you about UTIs, the symptoms of a UTI, how we test for and treat a UTI and how you can help prevent future UTIs.

Nicki Minaj Launches Her New 'Pink Friday' Fragrance In NYC [PHOTOS]
Along with the multi-continental headlining tour she is about to embark on, and her new post as American Idol judge, the rapper also just launched her first perfume, Pink Friday.
The rapper visited Macy's Herald Square in New York City to promote the fragrance which is boasted to have hints of jasmine, lotus flower, vanilla , and skin musks, among other scents. It's an endeavor that Minaj had been working on for quite some time, the singer told MTV.
She also noted how she remained a big voice (as if that were a problem for her) in the design of the bottle. "I didn't know I would have a pink wig on the bottle until I met with the fragrance company and they asked me what I wanted my bottle to look like and I said — is there any way we can put a pink wig on it?" She continues, "And they came back with sketches and I was floored that they actually nailed it, I couldn't stop looking at the sketches."
The bottle, which is molded in a likeness of the rapper herself, features Minaj's signature pink wig, pink lipstick, a white and blue bustier, and a gold medallion around the neck spelling out "Nicki Minaj;" aspects that Minaj believes will make her fans "spaz out" over.
Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday Au De Perfume is available for purchase at Macy's and Macys.com
Don't forget to check out the gallery to see how Nicki Minaj compares to her miniaturized fragrance counterpart.

"All the tea in China" ...
Do you speak for the entire mob?
#172 Sep 29, 2013
You know, I have been reading all the posts in regards to Pete & Karen Miller. I know the family as well as knowing Matt Parker who lived with the Miller's. The Miller's had Matt for four years before they ever got a dime, but they did not care because they loved Matt. He wasn't taken in by the Miller's because of money but love. They cared for him in everyway, he lived in a beautiful house, had the best clothes bought for him, great vacations, everything a young boy would want was given to him. Matt had it all, more then a lot of other kids his age. The problem arose when Matt got a few friends that tried to control him and they wanted to take from him because they were jealous of what he had and his home life. Matt was easy to be lead and that's what happened. When he became of age he wanted to leave the Miller's, take all his money and go. His so called friend says hey Matt, you can live with me and by the way bring you money because I am remodeling my house. And so this is what Matt did, all was good in paradise until the money was gone and then Matt had to move out, hell what a good friend. Now Matt is lead into filing charges by his friend, because he needs more money to finish his house.
This whole situation is a bad deal, not only did the Miller's not steal from Matt, but after all this, they still love him. Matt grew into a young man, working now and has a great girl friend. He could had a lot more if things were different.
#173 Sep 29, 2013
They had him with a eye on the money, they had to wait like the Elash trial. They hoped no one was looking, like they steal cars at American Recovery they the Millers own they wait to do the deed.
You know them because you are them and are politically involved. You have political favor in the dump city of McKeesport.

#177 Sep 29, 2013
How do you know when they started getting his money from SS? If the transition from his grandparents to the Miller's was done with the courts approval and , everyone agrees that it was, then all they had to do was go to the SS office. I don't buy it! No way! They are thieves and liars! They were supposed to hold that $50,000 in trust for him! They are the most immoral, unethical and biggest losers I've ever heard of. Give this kid his money back!
#179 Oct 6, 2013
That's how McKeesport connected buying favors operate. They made the money they have by a very shady means. Your rich neighbors may be nice, but might be very elaborate thieves with involvement in a form of synchronized crime. Many weathy people rob, some murderors will kill once according to experts, to go on living a normal life for years.
Madoff was nice to a of his neighbors, but he was in charge at the top of America's latgest Ponzi scheme ever. Some rich robbed from others to become rich. Illegal gambling as in McKeesport proves one way to make over a million.
One difference with illegal gambling is all of the money went to shady purposes. Buying off the politicians in McKeesport and in Pittsburgh.

They forced the child to work and payed him with his own passed on dads money left!
It's McKeesport.

Again. You people are judging the Millers without knowing the facts. AS AUSUAL. Anyone of you can cal Pete Miller and he'll be happy to break the entire situation down for you. Ask him about the toyota truck that WAS NOT BOUGHT FOR MATTT!!!!!. The truck originally bought for the Millers son. Matt bought the truck WITH HIS OWN MONEY. Ask the Millers how much they paid Matt weekly for doing work for them. He was given spending money FROM HIS ACCOUNT. He was not paid with his own money.STOP Bashing the Miller!!!!!!!!! The Millers are some the most upstanding and generous people in the Mon Valley. No one knows the financial assistance that the Millers have given to the local Police departments, church groups, civc organizations, and most of all the financial, spirtual and moral support and most of all general love and kindness to that piece of Matt Parker.

Wondering if it\'s for me
I have become curious about long range hunting and would like to get some input from people involved directly. I have only been shooting mid-range( I think) for varmints and have always tried for close, one shot kills on big game. Most shots for me have been 350 and less. Deer and Elk have all been close. My question is about the thrill of it. I get my thrill (so far) from trying to get close and am wondering if you people get excited by a long range shot or is it the challenge of the distance that stirs you? I have shot out to 1000 in the military but worry about wounding animals. In the service a wounded human is usually better than a dead one as a wounded man attracts more targets. Could some of you discuss the thrill, challenge, and wounding issues? I haven't lost an animal yet but I also realize from reading some of the posts that there is more equipment involved and placing the shot actually may be no different than match shooting. How do you feel? I'm not trying to ruffle feathers but more trying to decide if this suits me before spending $$$$$.

Re: Wondering if it\'s for me
Welcome to LRH.
I can only speak for myself but feel that many longrange shooters would be the same.
Successful longrange hunting requires better than average marksmanship skills. Most of the good tactical and longrange shooters I know and have shot with have developed the abilty to shut out everything when it's time for the shot. At the actual moment of the shot they are calm, unflustered and high attuned to the mechanics of the shot. When I shoot at a target or an animal I'm only thinking shooting and hitting the target, there is no further thought of the excitement, just the ritualistic preparation and shot. If my breathing rate and heart rate are increased due to rapid relocation to a new firing position I think calming and become more attuned to marksmanship concerns. I'm only concerned with the shot when it's the actual moment to shoot.
As to the hunting and locating or having the game arrive. I hunt many hundreds of hours each year, varmints & big game. I don't get excited unless it's a really big trophy. I generally EXPECT to see several to many animals of varying sizes, if an exceptional example shows up it's a pleasant suprise.
To sum this up:
No matter the distance or the excitement, I think and feel markmanship when it's time to shoot and that immediately greatly reduces any thought of the excitement.

Re: Wondering if it\'s for me
To me, it's the challenge of dropping an animal at extreme distance----the further the better.
I don't kill does (deer) or cows (elk) but know of one LR hunter that would rather kill a doe at 1500 yards (or further) then a huge trophy at 100 to 1000 yards.
With the epuipment we have, I am confident we can make CLEAN kills on the elk or deer we go after and have proven that time after time. That's what this LR game is all about, quick kills.
As for excitement, if it's a trophy we are after, there's a sense of excitement in our two or three person group but, only slightly. I credit that to the years we have been doing this. For the most part and not always, only a new to the sport of extreme longrange hunting/shooting will get REAL excited and then we have to say something to him or her, in a calming way.
When we do pick up an animal we want in our "bigeyes", it's ALL business till he drops. All Bigeye glasses are locked onto the animal, a range is taken as to his distance from us, and the person who spotted him, goes to the rifle and puts the required amount of clicks on. A spotter round is taken 100 to 200 yards in front or behind the animal to correct for windage or elevation (if need be) and the following shot is into the animal. The spotter shot will not spook him either at the distance we fire. The animal never even heard it.
I believe for me I could sum up extreme longrange hunting as being a challenge more so then when I walk in the woods and hunt, which I still do from time to time.
Placing a shot that far downrange and killing an unsuspecting animal as fast as the experianced LR hunter can, still amazes the hell out of me.
The rifle in the pic (if it makes it)is the 338/416 Rigby Imp, has a 37" K&P barrel, Hall "G" action, Bausch and Lomb Balvar 6X to 24X scope with Kuhasky rear base and mount with the cross hair etched on the glass, Rifle built by Bruce Baer many years ago (his first 338/416 for a customer), has killed several elk at extreme range and one at 2100 yards. Took several mule deer at extreme range and one buck in his bed, at 1500 yards (that was a bit of a smaller target). His legs were still curled up under him when I got to him. He never made a move.
The rifle is still shooting unbelievable repeatable shots at extreme range. One clover leaf 10 shot hole at 100 yards as it always has.
For added info, We have NEVER lost an animal we hit either.
The second photo is of one of my hunting partners and our setup in PA a couple weeks ago during buck season.
Have a fine Holiday season to all.

In your first picture above, how many strong men and women does it take to move the pool table into position in the hunting field?

Re: Wondering if it\'s for me
Len and Dan.
The pool table isn't needed with the chain drive shooting table we use. It is a thought though.
My hunting buddy in this Picture is Jim Berfield, the one who makes the tables.Sorry I didn't mention his name. I have in other posts concerning the tables though. If you were refering to John Smith my old buddy, he has been with us in the past but, not this time.
We plan on building a house on this spot in Cameron County, PA.
My wife (Carol) likes a view, she would have one here. Wouldn't have to leave the deck, just leave everything set up.
It's all private with 3000 yards of shooting onto State Forrest land as you see in the pic.
We were looking at two decent bucks at 1450 yards here. We held waiting for a bigger one and his brother to show up----it didn't happen though. We put a limit of 8 points (or nothing) on our shooting that day.
It's a bitch to be so picky but, that's our style. Those bucks will be bigger next year.

Re: Wondering if it\'s for me
There's a significant difference between the way the majority of the ULR shooter's hunt and my particular method(s). The ULR range guys nearly always fire spotter rounds to help remove the variables, The ULR guys shoot much further than I do and generally always have a spotter.
I shoot generally in the 500 to 800 yard range, I shoot for a first round hit. There are times when I don't have a spotter for the shorter distances. I carry a heavy target/tactical style rifle and shoot from the prone position. In don't have the equipment, spotter support or practice area for ULR shooting.
I didn't directly reply to your question about wounding and also about LRHunting being like shooting a match.
First the similarity to shooting a match. When I'm shooting a match I'm forced to comply with the time contraints and therefore the need to shoot in less than optimal conditions. During a match I may end up shooting in heavy winds and rain, etc.
When long range hunting I control the conditions and there's no time limit. If it's too windy or the other factors aren't acceptable I don't shoot, I can always come back another time.
With the above differences between match and hunting shooting perhaps you can see why there is so very little chance of wounding. I take the shot when I decide it acceptable, I'm not rushed or shooting in difficult conditions.
The most excitement I experience now is when I'm training a new shooter and/or spotting. This is completely different than being the shooter and it's very exciting.

Didier Responds to Hastings' Endorsement of Newhouse
Washington 4th congressional district candidate Clint Didier releases a statement this morning on Rep. Doc Hastings endorsement of his opponent, Dan Newhouse, which will be made official this morning.
The statement is below:
"This isn't really a surprising development for a couple of reasons. First, I haven't asked Doc for his endorsement and never expected or counted on it.
Second, I won the primary by more than 6 points, so I'd expect the Republican establishment and beltway insiders back in Washington DC to pull out all the stops and pressure Doc to endorse their guy - who's a career politician - instead of the grassroots favorite. And remember, Doc is part of Speaker John Boehner's leadership team.
I'm extremely pleased with my own endorsements - Ron Paul, Freedomworks, Mark Levine, LibertyPac, FRC Action, Human Life PAC, Congressman Thomas Massie, Young Americans for Liberty, National Association for Gun Rights and many more freedom loving individuals and organizations. And we will have more big announcements in the coming days.
They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps - so I think people can easily figure out if they want a Congressman whose friends and supporters are lobbyists, Dow Chemical, Dupont, Monsanto, DC and other beltway insiders whose money and power have gotten us into the mess we're in now - or one who is supported by liberty-loving patriots who want to limit federal government powers and restore our freedoms."

Momofuku Noodle Bar II
"But the menu changes everyday," is how we justified visiting Momofuku a second time. In reality, we didn't need much convincing to visit the Noodle Bar once again considering how much more of the menu we wanted to tackle. It features dishes built from tradtion, like pork buns and ramen, with chef David Chang's twist. The Momofuku empire has taken over Toronto, New York, the world, and our hearts with its award winning restaurants and cookbooks. Despite this, Chang remains grounded and in tune with his work. Our first visit (which you can read about here) planted that seed and our second visit reaffirmed those beliefs.
Okonomiyaki ($7)
We missed out on their Pork Buns ($10) the last time we dropped by, something that should be dubbed illegal. They're tender slices of pork featuring just enough fat, and topped with hoisin sauce, scallion, cucumber, and lovingly wrapped in a bun. These must have been what Shakespeare was writing sonnets about 400 years ago – they melt in your mouth and are gone far too soon. These are the type of pork buns you finally take on a date after having a crush on them since elementary school. And then you fall in love and get married because these pork buns live up to the hype.
Pork Buns ($10)
It's time to be real – we only ordered the Okonomiyaki ($7) because we had no idea what it was and no idea how to pronouce it. In this case, taking a page out of Drake's book ("you only live once, that's the motto") paid off. Turns out 'okonomiyaki' is not only fun to say, but also delicious. It's a Japanese savory pancake, topped with 'what you like' (okonomi) and then grilled or cooked (yaki). Chang's version is made with Japanese yam, katsuobushi (dried, fermented, and smoked skipjack tuna), and mayo. Not the most appealing description, but the varied ingredients list creates an interesting texture and flavour.
The Ginger Scallion Noodles ($12) are made with shiitake, cucumber, cabbage, and a whooole lotta of scallion. The dish started off flavourful and ended off too flavourful, each bite building and building into an overwhelming pinnacle of scallion and ginger to the point where the last few bites stayed athome in the bottom of the bowl. But like Hannah Montana said, nobody's perfect, right?
Ginger Scallion Noodles ($12)
With its killer location, ever-changing menu, and three other restauraunts upstairs, it's hard to turn a cold shoulder to Momofuku. At this point, it's not a matter of if we'll be back but when we'll be back.

CNN anchor slammed Dems ... again
On the July 14 edition of CNN Live Today, CNN anchor Daryn Kagan [1] suggested to CNN Capitol Hill correspondent Ed Henry [2] that internal strife and the inability to get anything done is a characteristic of the Democratic Party.
While discussing the gay marriage constitutional amendment that would fail in the Senate later that day, Kagan asked [3]:
[T]he division within the Republican Party leads to my "Ed Henry Question of the Day," Ed. And that is, a party's split, can't agree, can't get something through the Senate. Republicans almost look like -- dare I say -- Democrats? [3]
As Media Matters for America recently noted [1], on July 6, Kagan and CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider [4] portrayed comments made by Senator John Kerry (D-MA) as a "classic" example of Kerry being a "flip-flopper." Kagan asked, "Is that a classic John Kerry moment ... ?"

Busy busy. Other than my occasional post from Instagram, things have been pretty busy and pretty random over here.
I recently did a podcast with my friend Jensen, who has a show on Kevin Smith's "Smodcast" network. It's here. If you want to know what's up with Spotify, America, Kreayshawn, humble brags, and sax solos, then you have to check it out.
In other news, we're challenging everyone to go to secretshowforjapan.com and donate to MFR / Save The Children to help kids affected by the situation in Japan. The contest isn't secret, but the location of the show is–and I think it's the smallest venue we've played in half a decade, maybe more. Anyone able to raise $500 will receive 2 tickets to the show. There are special prizes for the top fundraisers, as well. Just go to the website and start a fundraising page.
Other than that, I'm still writing. I got a new keyboard, the OP-1 by Teenage Engineering. Check it out:

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and the Evolution of Self-Driving Functionality: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts.
The first combinations of advanced driver assistance features, now available in some 2016 vehicle models, offer semi-autonomous driving under specific circumstances. Cars will soon have the ability to cruise on freeways and safely navigate traffic jams with minimal driver input. As a result of increasing volumes and technology improvements, as well as cost reductions, it is now feasible to install the multiple sensors necessary for such capability.
The industry consensus is that more comprehensive self-driving features will be brought to market by 2020. Such features will enable more complex automated driving, but still require some supervision by a competent driver. However, the obstacles to autonomous functionality are not all technological. While more testing is still needed to develop robustness, the biggest practical hurdles to clear before the rollout of self-driving vehicles to the public are related to liability, regulation, and legislation. In the long term, though, autonomous vehicle technology has the potential to institute major change in personal mobility, particularly in large cities. According to Navigant Research, 85 million autonomous-capable vehicles are expected to be sold annually around the world by 2035.
This Navigant Research report provides a detailed examination of the emerging market for different levels of fully and semi-autonomous driving. The study provides a discussion of the potential benefits, demand drivers, inhibitors, and technology issues related to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles, as well as profiles of the leading vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. Global market forecasts by region for volumes of vehicles with Level 2, 3, and 4 autonomy, along with the associated revenue, extend through 2035. The report also includes an assessment of how quickly the percentage of vehicles with some autonomous capability will grow within the overall parc of vehicles on the road in each of the six major world regions.

Indiana State Auditor Dwayne Sawyer unexpectedly resigns
State auditor Dwayne Sawyer has submitted his resignation – an unexpected announcement that comes just weeks after the governor made a major contribution to Sawyer's election campaign.
Governor Mike Pence announced Tuesday morning he had accepted Sawyer's resignation letter, a surprising development that comes just three months after Sawyer was sworn into office.
"He resigned for personal and family reasons and I respect his decision," Pence told Eyewitness News. Asked for more details, the governor offered little additional information.
"His decision to resign had nothing to do with his fiduciary responsibility or his service in office," Pence said. "Let me be clear, I'm simply not going to comment on private conversations with Mr. Sawyer concerning his resignation …. I respect his reasons, his priorities, and I respect his privacy."
The former Brownsburg Town Council president took the oath of office in August, becoming the first African-American Republican to hold an elective statewide office in Indiana. He filled a vacancy left by longtime auditor Tim Berry, who the governor picked earlier this year to serve as Indiana Republican Party chairman.
Both Berry and the governor were grooming the charismatic appointee to win a full-term as auditor next fall.
"He's going to do a great job over the next 18 months, and in that time he's going to command the respect of tax payers across the state to give him a full four-year term as the next state auditor," Berry said at Sawyer's swearing-in ceremony in August.
The governor was banking on that to happen.
13 Investigates has learned the governor's Mike Pence For Indiana campaign committee recently donated $10,000 to the auditor's Sawyer For Indiana campaign committee. The huge donation came just three weeks ago on November 4 -- another sign the governor was blind-sided by this week's resignation.
Timothy Phelps, treasurer for Sawyer's campaign committee, told WTHR he does not know if the money will be returned.
"I'm afraid I can't comment on that right now," Phelps said. "I can look into it but there's nothing I can say about that."
A spokesman for the Mike Pence For Indiana committee told Eyewitness News he cannot comment on the donation either.
Sawyer's resignation is effective December 15. The governor says he will "begin evaluating quickly" to find candidates and to name a replacement for Sawyer.
Suggested Links
The state auditor is responsible for accounting for state funds, tax distributions to local governments and schools, and overseeing payment of state invoices and state employees.
Sawyer was not in the office or at home today to answer questions from Eyewitness News.
Employees at the auditor's office say they had no idea the resignation was coming. They got the news – like everyone else – when the governor released a written statement Tuesday morning.

Uncle Marv's First Bicycle — Woo's World
Have you ever had a conversation with someone that started like this: "Well, back when I was a kid." One day my Uncle Marv told me a story that started that very way.
"When I was a kid, I had the chance to buy a secondhand bicycle from the kid down the road," Marv explained. "I wanted that bicycle so badly it's all I could think about. I saved every penny that came my way. Finally, I saved the money needed to buy the bicycle and raced down the road to claim my prize. That's when I discovered the bicycle only had one pedal."
"I was heart broken, but wanted the bicycle so badly I bought it anyway. I 'd try to keep up with my friends riding with one pedal. What a sight. Pedaling as fast as I could with one leg on one pedal, as I watched the gang pull away. By catching pocket gophers and turning them in to the county for a dime, I finally saved up enough money to purchase the missing pedal. Being a farm kid this was an acceptable way to make money. With the missing petal replaced on my bicycle I was finally able to keep up with the guys."
That was the only bicycle Uncle Marv ever had as a kid. Did he love it? You betcha! Times might have been hard back when we were kids but nobody can take the memories that we carry with us though time. I can just envision Uncle Marv pedaling with all his might riding the bicycle with one petal. It makes me smile.
