I know I know you'll say poor su.ker got the Invicta and now he has a problem...
It's actually working fine, but the bezel is notoriously difficult to turn.
Is there a way to lubricate the bezel? Can I put WD-40 on it or something to make it easier to turn? Has anyone ever attempted a stunt like this?
I use bezel A LOT and this is a big deal for me.
Thanks for all the help folks.

im a budget builder, so i had to do it this way. also the eagle crank is unfinished, so a reputable pontiac engine builder is a must.
the only part of ths post that i didnt like, in my unprofessional opinion, was the demon carburator! they make great oil lamps, but i wouldt use one on any of my yacks!
455 blocks are great for towing, but stick to the 400 if you ar going for power.
HEI distributors??? i dont trust those ICM's but the HEI makes a great shell for a MSD 6 AL
I agree with much of what you say...especially the competence of the Butler boys. It does sound like your on a great Pontiac build and I was informed recently that they don't make Demon Carb's anymore...I'm a big fan of the Pontiac engines, I've had a few, even a 326 in the mid 70's that ran fairly strong. The 326 had a Holley 650 Carb and every Spring I'd get to replace the rotted out gaskets...I don't know if they've improved them over the years or if it was because the car was parked all Winter but my last Pontiac build was a 428, 30 over, ported heads, decent cam, balanced and Torker intake etc. ...running an 850 Demon. It ran like a champ...that was a few years ago and still haven't had to touch the inside of the Carb...maybe I got lucky...I don't know, but I was happy happy with the Demon.

Once in a while you come across a "gem". This is one of those boats. It is a 1993 boat that was in Florida until 2000 when it was purchased by the current owner, now deceased after a long illness. The boat was fitted to a custom trailer and towed to Massachusetts where it was placed in a canvas shed to be worked on and fitted out for the water. Before this could happen, the owner began a long battle with cancer and his work and dream slowed to a crawl. He never got a chance to go for a boat ride in his new boat. It stayed in the back yard well protected until he passed away last year. His family has done a yeoman's job of getting the boat out of the storage shed and getting it cleaned up and ready to sell. They have installed new batteries and gone through everything to make sure it is working properly. Not to belabor the point, but the boat even is equipped with a Loran.
The Rosborough RF-246 Sedan Cruiser is designed to be fully trailerable and utilize the most efficient power configurations available. Windows are tempered safety glass installed in fiberglass frames molded to suit the router cut window openings in the cabin and back bulkhead. Trim and wire coverings are teak wood and upholstery is durable fabric. Counter, dash, and furniture is trimmed in teak wood, oiled finish. The Atlantic sea hull combines the best features of East Coast designs. The center keel provides stability while the straight flat run aft ensures a good turn of speed economically. The full bow sections and shallow fore foot allow for both soft entry, and comfortable bearing up while heading into or running with the seas. The main floor panels are removable for access to the total bilge area for easy maintenance to tanks, pump, blowers, cables and wiring etc. Furniture components are all molded fiberglass, off-white gelcoat finish fastened in place with high grade stainless steel fastenings. The unique characteristics and capabilities of RF-246 make it the choice of the Canadian Fisheries & Oceans, Conservation and Protection Enforcement Department. RF-246 CONSTRUCTION DETAILS: RF-246 is a uniquely constructed craft incorporating many lamination and assembly techniques that set it apart from other boats. The main construction consists of five heavily laminated, one-piece molded fiberglass components: Hull, Floor - Furniture, Gunwale Deck, Dash Bulkhead and Superstructure. The Hull incorporates a gunwale flange around the total parameter. This inward flange is heavily laminated to provide exceptional stiffness to the hull and support for the deck and superstructure. The Floor stringer framing includes the forward Furniture liner, forward floor, main cabin and cockpit sole. The under-floor cavities on both sides of the center area of the hull are totally injected with closed cell expanded floatation foam from the transom to the main dash bulkhead area. The main Gunwale Deck is adhesed and mechanically fastened to the gunwale flange. It includes inner coamings and non skid surface molded in the gelcoat during lamination. The Superstructure includes wheelhouse, trunk cabin, windshield facets. It is molded to fit down into the inner coamings of the gunwale deck and is adhesed in place as well as through bolted w- stainless steel bolts. It is flanged inward at the top of the parameter and down the back ends for maximum strength and the attachment of the one piece roof and main back bulkhead. The Dash - Companionway Bulkhead is built to accept the one-piece sliding companionway door and operator console. It is a cored structure with flanges at the top and bottom and is fiberglassed and mechanically fastened in place. The companionway door is one-piece top and door that slides in high density polyethylene slider rails. The rear cabin bulkhead is a one-piece cored unit that is adhesed and mechanically fastened to the rear flanges of the superstructure. The main door is a large slider that is mounted to and slides in its high density polyethylene slider rails. Pilot doors on one or both sides of the wheelhouse are one-piece cored components that also are mounted in their high density polyethylene sliders. Outboard motor well is a one-piece molded unit adhesed and mechanically fastened to the gunwales and transom. Wheelhouse and main salon - cockpit floors are one-piece molded cored components that incorporate molded non skid surface. The steering and control console is a one-piece molded unit incorporating special areas for large electrical breaker panel, steering (hydraulic or mechanical), engine instrumentation gauges, etc. The console is easily removable as well as there being a large access panel in the main dash bulkhead to the wiring and console equipment. The roof is molded one-piece and includes non-skid surface and adhesives to the superstructure flanges, stainless steel fastened as well. The entire superstructure is treated with fire-retardant resin coatings. The entire bilge area is treated with fire retardant water barrier resin coatings. All adhesives are high-quality silicones and marine compounds. Gelcoats are isotyhalic salt-water-grade and initial skinning resins are special osmosis resistant polyester. Fire retardant resin coatings are waxed pigmented off white color. The fire retardant resin coating in the hull and bilge areas are a moisture resistant barrier as well. ROSBOROUGH BOATS: Rosborough Boats, a traditional Nova Scotia boat building company, has been producing quality vessels since 1979. Rosborough Boats are professionally constructed from all-fiberglass components to ensure the utmost in durability and low maintenance. The designs offer great stability, seaworthiness, comfort and safety with roomy, accommodating layouts and custom configurations.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Dear amshrty,
The issue is that you registered your business,and you are therefor expected and required to pay estimated taxes on estimated gross receipts.
Many people besides you fall into this trap.
In Texas as in many other states, the property action would have been to file estimated taxes of zero, and to include an explanation that you have not started business activities.
This is your defense at a hearing or appeals board. You never started business activities, and there for had no estimated receipts on which to base your estimated tax activities.
Then answer these questions in your statement:
1. Why did you register you business if you were not ready to conduct business activities?
2. What prevented you from starting business activities (sales)?

Crazy P
Maxxi Soundsystem
Dirtytalk DJ'S
Futureboogie DJ'S
Another year older, that makes us 11 - and somehow still at it so definitely cause for a little celebration and to double the fun this one in advance of our first trip to Snowbombing!
We'll be throwing a party in the Schlussel this year with some of our faces as well so make sure you check the link :
Back to Bristol though......
We've invited some of our oldest pals along to help us - they also happen to be some of our favourite DJ's - you've seen them before but they really know how to do it well so fingers crossed you'll be pleased to see them again:
Crazy P have had a sterling 2012, their LP When We On has been around and back again, with a selection of remixes and DJ gigs that have taken them to a whole new audience and earned them plaudits worlwide. Their recent Heartbreaker single package is still riding high in the charts and we can't wait to have them back with us.
Maxxi Soundsystem - 2012 has been Sam's breakthrough year - it's seen him go centre stage with a string of killer releases on Wolf Music, Ellum Audio, Hypercolour, Nurvous and of course with us. His recent release on close friends of ours Hypercolour imprint has literally smashed it all over and has made him a bit of a household name amongst today's house kids - he has been killing at with his sets too - you just wait and see...
Peak - Resident DJ at our favourite club Salon De Wilde Renate in Berlin and new friend of Futureboogie. If you've had the pleasure of visiting this absolute gem of a club you will know just what a treasure it is, a labyrinth of rooms that feels like as much of an art installation as somewhere to dance, Peak holds it down there and books the DJ's who get to play there - if you've seen the line ups you'll know he knows his onions as well - we got play with him this year and spent the whole set asking what the tunes were so we thought it would be a great idea to bring him over, we think he'll fit right in.
Christophe & Lukas - you know the score with these two - local heroes with tunes for days - plus their upcoming releases on the label really are something to check, they could be rather big for the pair!!
Dirtytalk DJ's - consistently booking quality, interesting and somewhat daring artists to our fine city, Dirtytalk have been keeping things ticking over for time and we thought it was about time we got them to come and join us for the night. Their recent party at The Motorcycle Showroom was a greta example of what parties should be like - hopefully they'll bring a little of that along tonight!
Last year's Birthday sold out well in advance and Exchange has a limited capacity so if you want to be in then get your tickets in advance - hope to see you all on the dance floor soon

Land Protection: Big Deals Done Quietly
When you're hiking or riding through beautiful country, look around – there's a good possibility The Nature Conservancy helped preserve either the ground you're on or a nearby view. For over 50 years, with your support, we've helped protect more than 1.2 million acres of land in Florida!
While "quietly conserving nature," the Conservancy often has worked behind the scenes to identify important properties and find unique strategies to get a deal done. Our real estate and legal teams have sought out and befriended landowners whose deeply-held conservation values set them apart from their contemporaries.
You may not remember some early deals, which encompassed huge swaths of natural lands that would be unaffordable in today's real estate market. Six Conservancy representatives, past and present, reminisce below. Enjoy!
Wakulla Springs State Park, Near Tallahassee
Keith Fountain, was the Conservancy's director of protection from 1992 - 2012
Some think Wakulla Springs – one of the highest volume springs in the United States – may be the longest and deepest cave system in the world. Humans are believed to have lived in the area for nearly 15,000 years. The remains of ancient mastodons and nine other extinct mammals were found as deep as 1,200 feet into a cave, and some remain visible today.
"A financier-philanthropist named Edward Ball purchased the land in 1934 to preserve native wildlife," says Fountain. "But I'm told that when he was ready to sell in the mid-1980s, the state was in no position to buy. So the Conservancy took on an important role.
"Working with the Northwest Florida Water Management District and The Mellon Foundation, our staff brokered the transaction and got interim financing for a little over 10,000 acres," Fountain continues. "A few years later the state took ownership because then-Gov. Bob Graham very much wanted it saved. This resulted in a grand legacy for Ed Ball, the governor, the Conservancy – and protected a huge resource for the Floridan Aquifer and for you."
Today the popular park offers abundant wildlife, riverboat tours, swimming and nature trails, as well as a public dining room and meeting facilities at the historic lodge.
Jennings State Forest, Near Jacksonville
Wendy Mathews, 1992-present, currently conservation projects manager
One of the finest examples of Conservancy efforts to protect wildlife corridors, this forest helps link the Ocala National Forest and the Osceola National Forest. Mostly high and dry, the forest has high-quality sandhill lakes, longleaf pine and rare northeast Florida seepage stream habitat.
"This corridor is of great benefit to many rare species, including the Florida black bear, and it also helps protect important Upper Black Creek watersheds," says Mathews. "Hikers here may spot wading birds, songbirds, wild turkey and hawks."
The Conservancy worked through the state's Preservation 2000 program and the Save Our Rivers program to purchase around 12,000 high-priority acres from 1991-93. The forest has since expanded to 23,997 acres, all well managed by the Division of Forestry.
"Conservancy staff got a call from a Mr. Jennings, whose Jacksonville family had owned the land a long time, and apparently negotiated a nice purchase for the state," Mathews adds. "The St. Johns River Water Management District collaborated, and that agency then went on to buy several adjacent properties.
"Identifying and protecting these huge, wild tracts is part of the Conservancy's most valuable work. It's been critical to Florida's native plants and animals."
Goethe State Forest, Levy County
George Willson was the Conservancy's director of protection from 1984-99.
When George Willson questioned Mr. J.T. Goethe about 2,000 acres in his huge Levy County forest property in the early 1990s, Goethe tossed him the keys to all his landholdings and told Willson to come back when the Conservancy was ready to deal.
"I came back later that year," offers Willson. "At 92, Mr. Goethe had become concerned about his retirement years and asked if we'd like to buy it all."
The Conservancy quickly collaborated with partners and assisted the state in purchasing about 40,000 acres, which the Department of Environmental Protection negotiated.
"There was huge pressure from timber companies that were lobbying for rights to the trees," continues Willson. "As a third party, the Conservancy offered a trusted, independent voice.
"Governor Chiles' chief of staff asked me to testify about the $60 million price – a record at the time. I explained it was a great deal, and the Cabinet voted unanimously to buy the tract. This great state forest came about in large part due to our efforts with the landowner and state officials."
Today, at 53,587 acres, the multi-use forest includes a vast tract of longleaf pine flatwoods and 15 different natural communities.
Bright Hour Ranch, Desoto County
Richard Hilsenbeck, 1991-present, currently director of conservation projects
In 1994, Conservancy staff studying aerial photographs of southwest Florida spotted a 72-square-mile mosaic of natural lands, unmarred by roads or development. Calvin Houghland, then 83, had bought the property 30 years earlier to raise cattle, hunt, and relax with family.
After following up with the landowner, "I spent some of the best months of my career working on this property," recounts Richard Hilsenbeck. "A book could be devoted to the way Bright Hour Ranch pioneered environmental conservation, which Mr. Houghland saw as a moral imperative.
"The ranch's interior was well-managed for wildlife, water, cattle and natural habitats. In 1995, it received the Commissioner's Agricultural Environmental Leadership Award in Florida."
Hilsenbeck's evaluations qualified the ranch for conservation programs. He also proposed, and helped to negotiate and monitor, a conservation easement with the Southwest Florida Water Management District for 28,274 acres of the ranch's highest quality lands. The easement allowed cattle grazing, but prohibits future development in perpetuity. The property has since sold, easement intact, to another owner.
"Scores of native Florida animal species call Bright Hour Ranch home," Hilsenbeck adds, "including crested caracara, burrowing owls, Florida grasshopper sparrow, eastern indigo snakes and numerous other federally listed vertebrate species – even the Florida panther. Two of its 12 natural communities are globally imperiled, and the ranch includes the headwaters of the water supply for the city of Punta Gorda."
Dupuis Reserve, Palm Beach/Martin counties
Angela Klug, 1999-present, currently director of real estate
Located two miles from the eastern shore of Lake Okeechobee, a property known as White Belt Ranch was owned by the wealthy and fascinating Mrs. Dupuis and her husband, a veterinarian. Former Conservancy staff members fondly recall long phone chats with Mrs. Dupuis about her properties.
"Nat Reed, a wonderful Conservancy friend and supporter, apparently knew the Dupuis family well," says Klug. "Very involved in land protection, Nat encouraged this purchase in 1986. The Conservancy negotiated for 21,935 acres that proved to be a valuable and timely acquisition."
Now named after the Dupuis family, the reserve is owned by South Florida Water Management District and managed by Florida's Division of Forestry. It hosts four loop hiking trails developed by the Florida Trail Association.
"Like most of South Florida, much of this land had been drained for ranchland," continues Klug. "The water management district plans to restore the historic wetlands. A 15-mile walk takes you through impressive landscapes of pine flatwoods, ponds, cypress domes and wet prairies. Visitors can look out for bald eagles and will see lots of herons and white ibis."
Crocodile Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Key Largo
Dick Ludington was our first-and-only employee from 1977-79, working as state director from his kitchen table. He was regional director of real estate from 1982-85.
Forty miles south of Miami, this property with a bizarre history is closed to the public. The 6,700-acre refuge was established in the early 1980s, with the Conservancy's help, to protect critical breeding and nesting habitat for the endangered American crocodile and other rare resident and migratory wildlife. The reserve abuts a number of other protected lands.
"A large portion of the current refuge had been subdivided for residential development as the city of North Key Largo Beach, complete with canals for boating," remembers Ludington. "Dredge-spoil from the canal system was piled up on the banks.
"It was slow-going to buy all those little pieces," he offers. "Altogether, the Conservancy purchased a thousand acres of mangroves and hammock, using state and federal funds."
It was also dangerous. "Dynamite Dock was a WWII harbor where explosives had been brought in. And marijuana was an issue – we'd go in with state and federal police, armed. Sometimes we were turned back because of ongoing drug deals involving speed boats and Miami drug runners.
"Somebody cut down the U.S. champion mahogany tree in North Key Largo – part of the largest, contiguous tropical hardwood forest in the continental U.S. – to illegally collect the tree's rare dollar orchids," adds Ludington. "The chapter's $100 donors got a slice of the tree's limbs as a memento.
"The Cold War-era Nike Missile Facility was also located there. This place was unique."

Actress reinvents 'Dallas' maid
Updated 11:03 am, Thursday, June 7, 2012
By Marlene Forté's estimation, she's been in more than 100 commercials, pitching everything from antacid to greeting cards in English and Spanish.
"I'm recognized a lot, but people can't always pinpoint from where they know me," the Cuban-born actress says.
Often recognized for her standout role as Mrs. Glass, the tough corporate executive in 2002's "Real Women Have Curves" who declines to extend a deadline for Ingrid Oliu's dress-designer character, Forté has spent much of her career playing secondary and guest roles.
The roles, she says, have often been stereotypical portrayals of Latinas.
"I don't mind playing a stereotype as long as they're real people, full human beings," says Forté, who was reluctant to read the script for the "Dallas" reboot after finding out she was being considered for the role of Bobby Ewing's longtime maid.
"I had my own prejudice," she says. "Then I read it and laughed out loud because it's my mother. I just knew her. The dialogue just fell off my tongue."
Entertainment Channel
Forté, who is in her early 50s, plays Carmen Ramos, a widow whose husband worked for Ewing Oil. She remains employed by the family as its maid, and her daughter grew up with the younger generation of Ewing men. Jordana Brewster ("Fast Five") plays Forté's daughter on the show.
The new "Dallas" series, which premieres Wednesday on TNT, revisits the Ewing clan and features some of the actors - Patrick Duffy, Larry Hagman and Linda Gray - returning as the characters they originated more than 30 years ago.
Those who remember Teresa, the Ewing clan's maid in the original show, might recall she was seldom seen and barely heard. Forté stresses her Carmen bears little resemblance to Teresa.
"She pretty much runs that household. … She's the one who really knows what's going on," Forté says of Carmen, whom she describes as fiercely protective and loyal.
"I think she'll be familiar to audiences," Forté says. "I think Carmen will remind some viewers of their mothers."

The Washington Redskins are signing former Pro Bowl kicker Billy Cundiff, cutting kicker Graham Gano.
Cundiff was cut by the Ravens on Sunday after he was beaten out by undrafted rookie Justin Tucker.
Gano had edged out Neil Rackers during a competition this summer, but the Redskins preferred Cundiff to him.
"I would like to thank the Redskins organization for the 3 years I spent with them," Gano wrote on his Twitter account. "I will miss my teammates and I wish you the best of luck!"
Gano tried out for the Ravens in 2009 before losing out to Steven Hauschka. Then, the Ravens got rid of a struggling Hauschka and signed Cundiff.
With the Ravens, Cundiff, 32, made 54 of 66 field goals during the last two seasons.
However, he missed a 32-yard chip shot against the New England Patriots in an AFC championship game loss. The kick, in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter, would've tied the game and almost certainly sent it into overtime.
"Billy kicked well," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He could be the kicker here. He'll definitely be the kicker somewhere else. He had probably his best camp that he's ever had. So, I think he deserves a lot of credit."

Registering High Schoolers to Vote at Gainesville High School
GAINESVILLE - The Alachua County Supervisor of Elections does outreach to register high school seniors to vote.
But one senior today sat on the sidelines to watch his classmates.
That's because Malcolm Clemmons has already registered to vote.
He says he has kept the card in his wallet everyday since the day he got it and says he will pull it out when we have the next election.
Malcolm Clemmons, senior, Gainesville High School senior: "make your vote count and every vote counts..the people who don't vote shouldn't try to complain so if you want your voice heard make the vote for what you believe in and what you think is right and
exercising your beliefs."
State law requires Alachua County supervisor of elections to perform outreach at high schools to register students who want to and to teach kids about moments in history that made it important to vote.

Hoboken Mayor Calls Christie a Bully, Releases More Journal Entries
In a letter to the New Jersey Legislature, Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer said the reason she did not come forward to reveal Gov. Chris Christie's threat to withhold Sandy aid was because she feared the U.S. Attorney's office was too friendly to the governor.
In an attachment, she provided a copy of four journal pages that have her notes from a conversation with Hoboken's attorney. In her scrawl, it says:
"I have now heard it from Lt. Gov & Com. Constable. Yes — this is illegal. I debated with Joe Maraziti whether or not to go to US Attorney — we decided that Christie has friends throughout US Attorney's office — not much chance in getting help from them & it could create a nightmare for us. A little bit scary to realize that there's nowhere to turn for help against this threat from Gov Christie — my best defense is to stand up to the bully — my beloved Gov who wants to run for president."
Christie ran the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark before becoming governor.
In the letter, Zimmer told the New Jersey Legislature that she and other whistle-blowers need to be protected from Christie. She was prompted to write the letter, she said, because the governor wants to make it a crime for elected officials to fail to promptly report misconduct.

Also, the New Jersey Legislature issued four more subpoenas requesting that top officials testify before its Bridgegate investigative committee.
The committee asked for testimony from Christie's spokesman Michael Drewniak as well as Christina Renna, a staffer who worked under Bridget Kelly. Kelly is the deputy chief of staff who penned the email "time for traffic problems in Fort Lee."
The committee also recalled Port Authority Executive Director Patrick Foye and a member of the agency's board, William "Pat" Schuber. The hearings are scheduled for early May.
"With these subpoenas for testimony, the joint committee is moving to a key stage of its investigation into how this abuse of government power and threat to public safety occurred," said a joint statement by Sen. Loretta Weinberg and Assemblyman John Wisniewski. "And the four people we've called to testify can begin providing insight into the troubling environment that allowed something as concerning as these lane closings to happen."

Holyfield-Williams off again
For the third time the proposed bout between former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) and Sherman "Tank" Williams (34-11-2, 19 KOs) has again been postponed. The bout had been previously scheduled for November 5th, November 12, and December 9th. Williams' manager, Si Stern of South Florida was upset to say the least and shed some insight on the string of postponements.
"The postponement again of Holyfield-Williams speaks volumes of the problem with boxing today. It's a never ending battle between legitimate promoters versus a large amount of get rich (BS) individuals that have little or no money. They try to take advantage of a sport that has been around for a long long time and given opportunities to so many. We must prevent these type of individuals from doing what they did to Sherman Williams or anyone else in the future. While Sherman was in Austria sparring with Wladimir Klitschko we were asked if Sherman would fight Evander Holyfield for the WBF title on November 5th in Detroit. We accepted fight even though the dollar amount was low. We just felt Sherman had a chance to become a champion. On October 10th we were notified that because of a TV contract the fight would take place on November 12th. On November 1st I was told the fight was postponed again until December 9th.
"I asked for Sherman's purse to be advanced because of all the postponements but that never happened. I was told last week that the promoters again couldn't come up with the necessary funds and that there would be no fight. All the while tickets were being sold in Detroit and advertisements were out for the new Dec 9th date. Williams is a popular sports figure in his native Bahamas and was going to have a lot of support from his people. Many of the Bahamian government were chartering a plane to attend his fight. Williams has received no money from the event's promoter and his management team has paid for the fighter to be in camp since Sept 5th. This is boxing at its worst. What more can be said except I'm glad my commitments have been real and our promotions have always taken place as promised."

I have a dozen pitted acne scars on my face, and I want to get them removed. The problem is, I'm having trouble trying to find the right doctor. First off, I'm not sure if I should go to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. And secondly, when I visit websites for these doctors, I don't see any other methods of scar removal than laser resurfacing, but I am not 100 percent sold on that idea. I want someone who has alot of experience in this field to help me. Any recommendations?

Graduate School:Harvard Kennedy School/Georgetown Law School
The Rappaport Fellowship program offers students a unique opportunity to learn about Massachusetts state and local government. Thanks to the strong and wide-reaching network the Rappaport program has developed throughout the state, fellows have access to almost any aspect of Massachusetts government they can imagine, and even some they had never before considered. As someone who worked in the Massachusetts Senate before attending the Kennedy School, I was used to a very reactive form of policy making in which you often have only just began to wrap your head around a particular issue when a front page story in the Boston Globe completely diverts the attention and energies of the Legislature. I therefore applied for a Rappaport fellowship in hopes of finding a pro-active project that would let me get into the nitty-gritty details of implementation – I just had no idea what that would be. Thanks to the knowledge and connections of those who run the Rappaport Program, I was placed in the Executive Office of Administration and Finance and learned how to turn a somewhat abstract, untested concept into a tangible product. This experience was enriched by the Fellowship's weekly seminars, which not only exposed me to new areas of Boston, but also allowed me to learn from the other fellows, who added incredible value to my overall internship experience.

BroncoBlitz.com Preview: WMU vs. Cornell- Four Key Players to Watch
9 comments:
WM can just pack the lane and get the win. We can't shoot from outside. We are athletic and can get to the line but cannot make free throws either.
- November 7, 2012 at 3:52 PM
- The Cornell Basketball Blog said...
Cornell is not a prolific outside shooting team, but it does have some solid to very good shooters.
Both Peck and Gray shot better than 40% from beyond the arc and there is no doubt that Scelfo can put up those numbers. Cressler and Cherry are also capable 35%-40% shooters.
As for the charity stripe, Cornell shot 68% as a team from the FT line (70% in Ivy play). Not great numbers, but not terrible.
The best FT team in the league in conference play was Columbia at 78%. Harvard was second at 76%. All others were 73% and below with Penn and Brown sub 70%.
If Cornell gets itself to the line, it is going to score some points and create foul trouble for opposing teams.
Further, bear in mind that this team is built like the San Francisco 49ers. Defense is the calling card.
Courtney wants to defend the basket, grab d-rebounds, run and score easy baskets in transition before the defense sets itself.
- November 7, 2012 at 4:20 PM
Peck is a low volume three point shooter. He will take and make a couple if given the space and opportunity. that's it. Enough to keep the defense honest.
You have no idea how Cressler is going to perform against D-1 competition.
I only see Gray and Cherry potentially being legit 3 point shooting threads...biggest issue with them is consistency.
- November 7, 2012 at 4:28 PM
- The Cornell Basketball Blog said...
Of course, you did not mention the best shooter on the team.
- November 7, 2012 at 6:39 PM
If our guards and others drive the basket, they will get fouled, and if they make the FT's we should win - perfectly good reason to practice FT to get the 80% mark. Of course, nobody is guarding them on the FT line - it's just a matter of practice.
- November 8, 2012 at 4:17 PM
Both the Red and the Broncs ranked in the bottom 50 teams in D-1 for 2pt shooting percentage last year, and well into the bottom half of D-1 for total points per game. The Broncos play a snail-like 64 possession game.
Cornell lost two of its best shooters in Wroblewski and Ferry. WMU lost some experienced players, too.
Free throws not withstanding, this early in the season, this game just might not get out of the 50's.
- November 8, 2012 at 7:54 PM
- The Cornell Basketball Blog said...
Ferry was a high volume shooter, not a high percentage shooter. Read the stats from last season.
- November 8, 2012 at 7:56 PM
True by the numbers. Drew Ferry was no John Jenkins, Isaiah Canaan, or Ryan Wittman, but guys who can stroke it at that level are generational in nature.
Furthermore, Drew would be first to tell you that he struggled a bit during the 2012 Ivy season, something that may be a little fresher in our memories.
However, let's put his 2011-12 season in proper perspective. When one considers both usage and percentage for 3PTrs for all of 2012, Drew Ferry ranked in the Top 75 in D-1 as a 3PT man. I don't have the stats for 2011, but his 2011 numbers suggest he would stand in a similar position. That's great stuff. People who watch Cornell basketball also know that he gave 110% every minute he was on the court.
IMO, players who contribute at this level are a definite asset to teams like Cornell. We will be a better team this year if we can find another one like Drew Ferry.
- November 9, 2012 at 8:18 AM
Ferry could fire quickly and nail the 3 ball and go on Ray Allen-esque runs from downtown like few others.
With that said he could also be colder than winter for long stretches.

What year did you graduate? What were your majors/minors?
I graduated in 2001. Religion Major, Communications Minor
What are you doing now (for work)?
I serve as Pastor for Mission and Outreach at Zumbro Lutheran Church in Rochester, MN
Why did you study Youth & Family Ministry?
I chose to study Youth and Family ministry because I had faithful caring adults who invested in me as a youth. I wanted to be the same kind of influence in the lives of young people. As I studied, I came to see the church as a unique community called to support and grow not only healthy young people but healthy families, in all their forms, as well.
Why did you choose Augsburg?
I chose Augbsurg because of its strong Youth and Family program, the commitment to service in the community, and the integrated relationship between critical thinking and faith.
What was the most rewarding part of your Augsburg experience? What was the most challenging part? Did you learn something that you didn't expect? What was it?
By far, the most rewarding part of my Augsburg experience is the relationships with peers and faculty that remain today. My fellow classmates are now colleagues in ministry all over the country and we are able to continue to learn from each other how ministry is changing in our culture and ways we are able to connect families to faith in this ever evolving culture.
I was most challenged when my youthful assumptions of God, church and faith in general were challenged. It was an incredible learning experience and one that has best prepared me for the challenges of understanding where people are coming from in their own faith journeys.
I did not expect to learn that in order for the church to continue to be a relevant and vibrant part of society it would have to change dramatically. We read Loren Mead's Once and Future Church in a class taught by David Anderson that has affected the way that I see ministry still to this day. No longer could we assume that the biblical narrative was native to people, nor that people would continue to participate in the life of the church out of a sense of duty or obligation.
How did your Augsburg education prepare you for youth ministry work?
I believe that my Augsburg degree helped me articulate and carry out a vision for Youth and Family Ministry that excited people. It gave me a deeper theological well from which to draw. And it gave me practical tools to implement meaningful changes in the area of youth ministry.
If a young person asked you about studying at Augsburg, what advice or guidance would you give them?
Any chance I get, I encourage our high school students to check out Augsburg. I think it is unique in the ELCA schools in preparing young adults for the world they will enter after college. The student diversity, service-focused academics and inner-city environment provide a rich lab to learn from and grow and explore one's calling in their life.

- 200 miles of both highway and stop-and-go driving to determine each subcompact's observed gas mileage.
- Driving of every car by experts to measure each vehicle for features, ride quality, styling and comfort.
- Thorough analysis and driving by an average car-buying couple who joined our experts to give their impressions on each subcompact.
CHICAGO, March 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Cars.com, the premier online resource for new- and used-car buyers, announced today the Honda Fit as the winner of its $16,000 Subcompact Shootout. Honda's Fit won the first-place prize in a competition between seven popular subcompact cars that seat four, have four doors, get at least 35 mpg on the highway, and can be purchased for less than $16,000. "The term 'econobox' is gone, as today's subcompacts are better built, more efficient and safer," said Patrick Olsen, editor-in-chief of Cars.com. "As gas prices and used-car prices continue to rise, a shootout like this acts as a guide for consumers looking to purchase a new subcompact as an alternative to a used vehicle. In addition to confident handling, a solid transmission, great visibility and unmatched practicality, the Honda Fit is just fun to drive and emerged as our clear winner." Experts from Cars.com, USA Today and "MotorWeek" tested these subcompacts to measure all of the needs of the average car-buyer including gas mileage, practicality, user features and comfort. The testing included:

Stray cat, dog found peppered with shotgun pellets
A dog and a cat are recovering after having been shot and peppered with shotgun pellets, Happy Paws Clinic has reported.
The clinic said the cat was found in Marsascala. It was in a very bad state, lethargic and in pain.
The male cat, named Disco by its rescuer, was rushed into the Happy Paws where it was immediately x-rayed and 150 pellets were found throughout the body.
"Disco is now recovering slowly, running and jumping around and he has been adopted by his rescuer and the outlook for survival is fairly positive," Happy Paws said.
It warned, however, that apart from the obvious pain, lead toxicity can cause anemia (low red blood cell count), gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, diarrhoea), nervous system problems (seizures) and death. Lead also crosses the placenta from pregnant mother to babies and is also excreted in her milk. Thus, the developing foetus and nursing young can be affected.
The injured dog was discovered at 6am on Thursday in Hal Farrug.
Named Moira by the Happy Paws Clinic, she was taken in with blood dripping from her eye and grazes across her face. Over 50 lead pellets were found in her face and neck. The vets at Happy Paws removed the pellets from the eye and cleaned the wounds on the face and it is hoped that the sight will will be saved.
Moira will eventually go to the Island Sanctuary for re-homing as Happy Paws said it was not safe to leave her in the location where she was found.
The dog will also undergo further treatment and Happy Paws Clinic will blood test for Sandfly and have a Ehrli test. Before Moira leaves for the Island Sanctuary, she will be microchipped and be vaccinated.
Happy Paws Clinic manager, Barbie Rixon said "We see many cases of extreme cruelty come into the clinic and even though the government have brought in new legislation, not enough is being done to protect the stray dogs and cats on the island. Dogs Trust, Malta are running an effective neutering campaign to reduce the number of stray dogs but more is needed to be done to reduce the number of stray cats and dogs on the island and to look after the ones that we already have. Happy Paws aim is to help the strays on the streets who have not been fortunate to find an owner."
Funds from the 'Star' fund was used for the treatment of the animals. The clinic can be contacted on Tel 21227127. www.happypaws.org.mt

Download Sample Code
Work with Session data without a page reload or redirect using jQuery and JSON data in an ASP.NET MVC 3 application.
Often times in building a web application we have the need to store some type of user configuration for the lifecycle of a user's visit on the site. Typically we turn to the Session to store this data and we accomplish that by posting some type of form data to a server side script and then reloading the page.
With ASP.NET MVC 3 it is easy to write up controller actions that work with JSON data and add some jQuery code in views to interface with those actions via Ajax. We can use that approach to capture and post user settings to some server side code and return the user's settings back without having to reload a page or redirect the user.
We will be creating a prototype application that will have a list page that displays a list of data records consisting of a name and a description. It will allow the user to set the list view to either rows or a grid of blocks. There will also be an option to show or hide the description. When the user sets their desired options we will store them in the Session state. Finally, we want to update the view without reloading the page.
We begin by creating a class for our settings structure that we will use with model binding to store and work with our JSON data from our view. This allows us to use one key/value pair in our Session state instead of storing a key/value for each of our settings. It also provides us with additional control over our data content, thus we can craft some code to protect ourselves from potential cross site scripting vulnerabilities since we will be receiving post data into our action method. Our class will be named ListSettings and will contain two properties named ListView and ShowDescription.
With our settings class defined we can build out our SettingsController class. This class will contain an action method named Save that will take in a ListSetting object, save it in the Session state, and return the object (we will learn why when we get into the jQuery code later in the article). We will also create an action method named Load that will instantiate a default ListSettings object, get the data in the session (if any) and return it as a JSON object.
Next we need to set up our user experience layer. We will add a home page and a list page so we can navigate between the two and test our session state. The HomeController will contain the action methods Index and List. Since we want to handle all of our UX updates via Ajax we do not need to add any logic in here to load up the settings for our display.
The Index.cshtml view file contains a heading tag to let us know where we are at.
The List.cshtml view file will contain the buttons to set the list view type, a button to toggle the description option and an unordered list of our sample data. We will decorate the unordered list with a CSS class named Hidden that will hide the display of the list until we can determine the user settings via some jQuery. The buttons and the unordered lists will get id attributes so we can target them within our jQuery. The data in the list items will also get CSS classes for some styling and to handle the toggle of the description. The html markup portion of the List.cshtml file looks like:
Before we craft the jQuery code let's build out the CSS that we need. We can add the following CSS to the existing Site.css file that is in the default MVC 3 project.
The Button class styles our span tags to make them look interactive. The Hidden class sets the display to none. We use this class for the unordered list as well as the description elements. Using the ItemListing id, we set a fixed width on the unordered list so our grid layout will be a set number of blocks wide (in this case it will be 3). We also normalize the styling on the unordered list by setting the list type to none and the margin/padding to zero. This will remove the disc glyph and left indention so we can have our list looking like rows or columns of blocks. The Name and Description classes add some styling to our text. Finally, the Rows and Grid classes set the style of the li elements to control the way the list items are viewed. The Rows sets the width of each li to the same width as the unordered list. The Grid sets the width on each one smaller, floats them to the left and adds some margin to the right and bottom of each so they don't run into each other. The width of the unordered list will force the grid blocks to wrap, thus achieving the 3 column look.
The jQuery code in the List.cshtml file will handle the user interaction with the settings buttons and updates to the list view. We begin by defining a settings variable that will be global so our functions can access the data in it. Then we will add the jQuery on document load block to wire up our button clicks and add a call to a function called LoadSettings. The final part of script will be our functions to save and load the settings, a callback function to handle the settings loaded event, and a function to set the list view.
The code for setting the list view type handles setting the ListView property of the settings JavaScript object to the selected list view and calls the SaveSettings method. The SaveSettings method posts the settings object to our Save action method in the SettingsController and upon success receives the returned JSON object from that action method and calls the SetListView function. The code to toggle the description visibility sets the ShowDescription property to the opposite of what it currently is (in effect, toggling its state) and then makes the call to SaveSettings.
The SetListView function makes the view changes to the ItemListing by removing the Hidden class and each of the possible list view classes and then adds the selected list view class (we are using the name of the list type as the name of the CSS class). It also checks the ShowDescription property and either removes or adds the Hidden class on the elements with the Description class.
The LoadSettings function makes a post call to the Load action method in the SettingsController and upon success calls the OnSettingsLoaded function. The OnSettingsLoaded function sets the returned JSON object to our settings global variable and then calls the SetListView function. The reason we need to set the global settings object here is so the event handler for the toggle description button has access to the current settings for the ShowDescription property.
That's all that is needed for our view. The end result for our List.cshtml file:
The last piece we will add is some navigation in our Layout.cshtml file so we have a way to switch back and forth between the home and list pages.
Now we can run our application, change up our view settings, and navigate back and forth between the home and list pages to see that our settings are remaining in their proper state.
By setting up our UX layer to save and load our settings via JSON we have decoupled the logic of doing the actual state storage from our display. This allows us to make changes to the way we store those settings without having to change our view. For example, we could change our storage logic to use cookies instead by updating our SettingsController class.
With this approach we are able to store and retrieve data on the fly from our application interface and can respond to the user's request for change with an instant update rather than a page reload. Enhancements to the user experience accomplished with relative ease using MVC and jQuery.

White County High School students are back to a normal schedule today after a student brought a gun to school Wednesday morning, leading to lockdown.
"We had a student report to an administrator that there was a girl in the bathroom extremely distraught, talking about killing herself," Superintendent Jeff Wilson said.
When school officials responded, they found a female student with a handgun, barricaded in the bathroom. Wilson identified science teachers Carrie Vandegriff and Stephanie Bolton, along with counselor Lynette Griffin, who entered the bathroom to talk to the student.
"Just heroic acts of bravery by those three women," Wilson said. "They saved a young girl's life today and should be very proud."
While school officials and law enforcement felt the girl, thought to be a junior, was an "imminent threat" to herself, there was no indication she planned to harm any other student.
She eventually did hand over the gun. She was transported to an area hospital for an evaluation.
The school was in lockdown while negotiations took place, but students were released late morning. Wilson and school administrators held a meeting in the gymnasium for students and parents to explain what had happened.
The student won't be allowed back to the high school, but Wilson said the most important thing at the moment is for her to get help.
"We'll worry about all of that later," he said. "Our first concern for her is to get her the help she needs, and we'll take care of the rest of that stuff down the road."
White County Sheriff Neal Walden said the investigation remains ongoing.

|Earl of Leicester Pub, Dereham Road.
Like many other towns and cities Norwich has long had large numbers of public houses. At one time Norwich had as many as 600 public houses and even as late at 1900 there were some 561. Even prior to 1830 there were 440 pubs. It should be borne in mind that these figures do not include beer houses.
But from the beginning of the 20th century the number of pubs started to decline. In 1904 the then Conservative government passed the Licensing Act which provided for compensation to be paid to the owners of licenses which had been granted before 1904 but who were refused renewal. The consequence of this was to reduce the number of licensed premises across England and Wales and a number of pubs in Norwich were closed under the Act. In fact, between 1905 and 1914 there were 9,801 pubs closed under the legislation in England with compensation amounting to £8,920,000 being paid out.
During the Second World War, Norwich took a hammering; over 100 pubs were lost due to air raids, and many more were damaged. It took time to recover from the war, and it was not until the 1960's when slum clearance started that more pubs were closed and demolished. In King Street alone where there were 58 pubs, we are now down to just one, Kings, with the Ferry Boat hopefully reopening in the future. In Ber Street there were 39 pub but we are down to just two, the Ber Street Gates, and the Horse and Dray. Many more public houses were closed in the connecting streets as large scale demolition took place.
Another street to lose many pubs was Coslany Street and its continuation Oak Street where at one time there were about 41. They are all now closed, with only the Old White Lion remaining. So in 3 relatively compact areas 138 pubs have closed within living memory.
Since the 1960s Norwich has lost many more of its pubs as consolidation took place in the brewing industry and the Norwich breweries were taken over by national companies such as Watneys. Many Norwich pubs are now owned by the large national and international brewers with the exception of those owned by Greene King and Adnams.
But even these two East Anglian breweries seem to be letting their Norwich pubs go. Adnams has disposed of a long list; the Lacons Arms in Junction Road, the Mill Tavern in Mill Lane, The Vine in Dove Street, and the Horse & Dray in Ber Street and The Iron Duke on Waterloo Road. Adnams still have the Plasterers, Cowgate Street, Rose Valley Tavern, Unthank Road, St Andrews Tavern and the Steam Packet, Crown Road.
Greene King retain the Ferry Boat, The Lily Langtry, The Windmill on Plumstead Road, The Coach & Horses in Bethel Street, The Golden Star in Colegate and The Ten Bells, St Benedicts.
Over the past few years Norwich has lost more pubs, mostly for site development. One that caused a lot of concern was the Earl of Leicester, Dereham Road an attractive Victorian pub demolished in 2005 and the site left vacant. A similar fate befell the Cygnet which occupied a prominent position at the corner of Churchill Road and Silver Road.
Other Norwich pubs have changed their names to attract new custom. The Woodcock on Woodcock Road became the Highwaymen to give it a fresh start but even that failed and the pub was demolished. So even name changes do not necessary mean the pub will survive. I have never been a fan of name changes, some of them are ludicrous, the Lamb, Old Haymarket became the Rat and Parrott in 1996, and in 2002 was changed again to Henry's. The Ironmongers was changed to Boltz, the Waggon & Horse in Tombland became the Louis Marchesi, and is now Take Five.
But name changes are nothing new, pub have been changing their names for many years with some name changes going back as far as the 1800's. Some have been successful in reinvigorating trade, the New Inn, West End Street is now the well known Fat Cat, and the White Lion, St Martins Plain is now the Wig & Pen, serving the clientele of the nearby Law Courts.
Pubs are very much a part of the heritage of Norwich and they must be looked after, if a pub can not be run as business and has to close, then let the building be used for another purpose - don't assume demolition is the only option. There are plenty of such buildings still in use in Norwich with a variety of functions. It is surely better to say "that used to be a pub" rather than "a pub once stood there"

Many women can't stand the extra flab under their arms. And what do you do when diet and exercise just aren't enough?
Nancy Ahearn isn't shy about showing off her arms anymore. She lost 30 pounds through diet and exercise. But one part of her body wouldn't tone up. "I had loose skin hanging from my arms. I was very self-conscious," Ahearn said.
So the 64-year-old decided to have a cosmetic procedure called a brachioplasty, or "upper arm lift."
"In many people there is excess skin and fat. Basically, an upper arm lift is done to eliminate the excess and return the arm to that normal contour," said Dr. Al Aly with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says upper arm lifts in women have shot up more than 4-thousand percent over the last decade. A recent poll from the group found many women admire the arms of celebrities like Michelle Obama and Jennifer Aniston. About 15,000 women had the procedure last year. It generally takes 10 to 14 days after an arm lift surgery for a patient to get back to normal daily activities. Doctors recommend patients wait up to two months before working out their arms.
But Dr. Aly says there are drawbacks and patients need to weigh the pros and cons. "Trading a scar for contour, and that is just the bottom, bottom line," he said. "There is no way you can get rid of all that excess skin without cutting it out."
Nancy Ahearn knows it could take up to two years for her scars to fade a little. "I'd rather have the scar than all the flab that was here," she said.
She paid nearly $6,000 for her procedure and says it was worth every penny.

IUP BASKETBALL: Hawks place three on All-PSAC West team
Three IUP basketball players earned All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Division honors. Mathis Keita and Marcel Souberbielle were named to the first team, and Devante Chance made the second team.
This is Keita's second first-team honor in his two seasons with the Crimson Hawks. A senior guard from Thionville, France, Keita ranks second on the team in scoring at 15.1 points per game and leads in rebounding at 5.6. He has scored in double figures 21 times in 27 games and scored 20 or more points on eight occasions. He also averages 3.7 assists per game.
Souberbielle, a native of Montevideo, Uruguay, and the lone fourth-year player in the program, made the all-conference team for the first time. He averages a team-high 15.8 points per game and ranks second in rebounds at 5.4. The senior forward has reached double figures in scoring in 23 of 27 games, racking up nine games of 20 or more points.
He became the 28th player in school history to record 1,000 career points earlier this season and ranks 20th with 1,131 points.
Chance, a junior point guard from Philadelphia, also made the all-conference team for the first time as a first-year starter at point guard. He ranks second in the conference at 4.4 assists per game and also averages 11.0 points. He has played all 40 minutes in seven games.
Gannon, which tied with IUP for the PSAC West championship, earned three of the four top honors. Adam Blazek, a junior guard, was named the Player of the Year, C.J. Oldham was named Defensive Player of the Year, and John T. Reilly was named Coach of the Year.
Clarion's BJ Andrews was named Freshman of the Year.
The rest of the first team consists of Seton Hill's Malachi Leonard, Slippery Rock's Maurice Lewis-Briggs and Edinboro's Bryan Theriot.
The rest of the second team consists of Gannon's Raphell Thomas-Edwards, Clarion's Mike Kromka, Mercyhurst's Jonathon Quegnin, Slippery Rock's Tabari Perry and Pitt Johnstown's Ian Vescovi.
IUP (23-4), which lost in Tuesday's quarterfinal round of the PSAC playoffs, awaits Sunday night's NCAA Division II tournament selection show. The Crimson Hawks entered this week ranked third in the Atlantic Region. The top eight teams earn NCAA berths.

2013 SRX Cue updates
I can't find this info but someone on this board might know the answer. Are updated to the CUE system done over Onstar or do you have to take it in to the dealership for updating?

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
I'm not familiar with the SRX, but I assume it's the same as the XTS and ATS which is updated via USB. So I would assume that means we'll be able to it from home. Not sure tho! I'm interested it seeing how often they release updates. I love my ATS but CUE could definitely use a little more polishing.

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
I had to bring 2013 in for service (front guard was falling off) and explained the Navigation takes me far far far out of my way and she said there was an update - so they did so while servicing car.

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
The Nav issue was corrected with a quick update using an SDM card...most of the deeper imbedded updates will require the vehicle return to the service department. GM/Cadillac are not going to allow most of the CUE data to be so readily available that we can download and install at home.
Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
Caitlex, I just wanted to let you know I'm happy to research concerns for you, if you have questions that arise in the future. I hope you'll let us know how you like the update whenever you get the chance, and please email me anytime at firstname.lastname@example.com for further assistance.

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
My wife have a 2013 SRX build in 10/2012. When was the most recent CUE update released ? The screen response time and the NAV definitely need to be updated. My 2009 CTS-V NAV gives me 3 choices to select a route after i enter the address and with the SRX i get nothing unless i get into the settings? Am I missing something here?
Thank you
Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
Miamictsv, thank you for your patience! I searched my resources and unfortunately don't have access to the update timing details you're seeking, so I recommend getting in touch with our specialized Infotaiment Customer Support Group for further assistance. Their agents are available at 855-428-3669, Monday to Friday 8:00am to 10:00pm EST and Saturday 8:00am - 4pm EST.
According to page 80 of the 2013 Cadillac CUE Infotainment System manual, inappropriate route guidance can occur under one or more of the following conditions.
". The turn was not made on the
road indicated.
. Route guidance might not be
available when using automatic
rerouting for the next right or
left turn.
. The route might not be changed
when using automatic rerouting.
. There is no route guidance when
turning at an intersection.
. Plural names of places might be
announced occasionally.
. It could take a long time to
operate automatic rerouting
during high-speed driving.
. Automatic rerouting might
display a route returning to the
set waypoint if heading for a
destination without passing
through a set waypoint.
. The route prohibits the entry of a
vehicle due to a regulation by
time or season or any other
regulation which may be given.
. Some routes might not be
. The route to the destination
might not be shown if there are
new roads, if roads have
recently changed, or if certain
roads are not listed in the map
data. See Maps on page 61.
To recalibrate the vehicle's position
on the map, park with the vehicle
running for two to five minutes, until
the vehicle position updates. Make
sure the vehicle is parked in a
location that is safe and has a clear
view of the sky and away from large
If you're still having problems with the route guidance after this troubleshooting, then please do email me at email@example.com for further assistance!

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
Thank you Katie, I have no problem with the NAV in general just it is asking me to use back roads instead of Highways most of the time. I will contact my dealer and see if there is any updates.

Re: 2013 SRX Cue updates
I am being told that the next update to the CUE system is coming shortly and you will need to bring your vehicle to the dealer to have it done.

George C. Williams
President, Ithaca Conservatory of Music, Ithaca Conservatory and Affiliated Schools, and Ithaca College, 1924-1932
George C. Williams was the second president of the conservatory. He had come to the conservatory in 1897 as the founder of the Williams School of Expression and Dramatic Art, which affiliated with the Ithaca Conservatory of Music. In addition to teaching drama, he served as the general manager of the conservatory for many years.
When he became president in 1924, the following appeared in the Key Note:
Mr. Egbert's resignation as President of the Board of Directors and Mr. Williams' succession to this office came as a surprise to all and was understood by but few.
For many years it has been in the minds of both Mr. Egbert and Mr. Williams to create a new office in the school, that of Musical Director.
The time has come when the music departments have grown to such an extent that a Musical Director is an absolute necessity.
The only logical person fitted for this office seemed to be the one who now holds it, Mr. W. Grant Egbert, and in the same manner Mr. George C. Williams seemed to be the proper person to succeed Mr. Egbert as President, hence the election of both to their respective offices.
Since it was due to the untiring efforts of both these men that the Ithaca Conservatory and affiliated schools has become one of the foremost institutions in the country and is still progressing, pledges of loyalty and cooperation to the new officers came spontaneously from all students.
There are no records in the College archives of formal ceremonies of transition or of a concert or theater event in honor of the presidential transition.

My Brother-In-Law
Is a real pain the the butt. So is his wife.
Since I now work for him - actually I was hired to work for his partner who takes care of the financial part of the company. My BIL just spends the money so we also have to track him so he can pay back what he spent on personal crap. I mean crap. Most of the money is spent on going out for dinner and buying electronic toys.
So, every week I write all the checks to pay for their household bills. What's the wife doing?
Every week there's an electronic toy that needs repair, I spend time on the phone with XBox or whoever then drive to the UPS Store to ship them off.
Now, he had me buy a bunch of toner cartridges for the office printers and wanted me to order a skid worth. Well now, guess who has acquired the job of putting a case of them on eBay and dealing with that? Me. So, today, I am off to the UPS Store once again on my personal time to deliver a package.
Oh yes, I forgot, I also have the job of selling his 2003 Nissan XTerra. I listed it here and it's no longer anywhere towards the top of our list. I told him to get it out of his driveway and put signs on it. It's been listed here and on Craig's list and only one inquiry in over a month. He wanted to know why I haven't had any interest from you guys here. Should I be honest with him the next time he asks.
So, what do you guys think a 2003 Nissan XTerra with around 60,000 miles should go for? We're starting at $10,900. I'm getting ready to lower the price to way less than that so I can complete my job assignment.

We all eat while working. I tried once to actually not work while eating my lunch and it didn't work out very well.
I just started working for him in April after I left my GM job because of my back injury that was causing me to "not work up to my expectations". I was given a week off without pay because my boss at Powertrain thought it would force me to get "healthy".
Now, my doctor and my chiropractor told me that when you have as many screwed up vertabrae as I do and have had as many accidents as I have (black cloud?) that the pain will not go away in 1 week, with or without pay.
After I returned to work the following week I was told I could apply vacation time if I wanted to. I didn't, I quit instead. It was a contract position with no future.
No, I'm working for BIL while my husband and his partner are getting their new company going then I'll be working for 2 brothers for a while.
Ah, the joys of working for family.

Valentine's Day for Marketers [INFOGRAPHIC]
Marketers love the day of love, because it's an opportunity to drive sales and engage customers. Read tips and tricks for inspiration.
Sincerely. Valentine's Day is a good opportunity to drive sales and engage customers. But it's not often easy to find out what kind of promotion to run, and how to start thinking about it.
Cash in
A point is clear: it worth to run a promotion at Valentine's Day, because men spends $158 at this occasion, and people spend not only to the significant other, but also on pets, classmates and coworkers. So small value products and services have a significant advantage!
Unsexy brands can also try to run a V-day promo, but e.g. a windows&doors retailer definitely needs to think hard when crafting the marketing tagline. "Have better windows and keep the sound of live inside the flat!" – What about his one? Sexy enough to catch attention?
8 tips, which may work for every business
- Extend the occasion, start your promotion at the beginning of February!
- Donate time to charity and talk about it.
- Make a special offer like "bring someone you love, and that person gets 50% off".
- Give a small gift to customers.
- Offer a free rose for every purchase of $30 or more.
- Give red gift wrapping for free.
- Make a SAD deal (i.e. Single Awareness Day Deal) for single people.
