Big deals in India and China have restored confidence but ADRs have not caught up.
Confidence can be tricky to gauge with IPOs at the moment, but much depends on geography. Investors in London and New York may be seeing the first tentative signs of recovery, but that recovery seems to have run out of puff recently.
In the emerging markets of Asia, eastern Europe and South America, however, things are more positive. Euphoric, even. The Indian Nifty Index has soared 60 percent in the last three months, and in Russia the market is up almost 70 percent since the start of the year. These gains may come from low bases, but they're still welcome.
Even so, these signs of recovery have yet to filter through fully to the global depositary receipt (DR) pipeline, says David Menlow, president of the IPO Financial Network, a New Jersey-based financial analysis company. 'I wouldn't completely ignore those who are trading American DRs (ADRs),' he says. 'But right now investors want clear visibility in their own backyard first.'
One good news story has been Changyou, the online video gaming company. Its successful ADR listing on the NYSE had led many commentators to predict a return to better times for the US IPO market. 'The success of Changyou is extraordinary – up around 130 percent since its April 2 listing,' says one IPO insider. Chinese firms Duoyuan Global Water and Chemspec International have also performed well since listing this year in the US, pointing to a resurgence of interest in Chinese firms from US investors.
Spreading optimism
Several other large beasts from China are set to list, but these are sticking to their home markets. Sportswear company 361 Degrees International is one example, possibly raising up to $323 mn in Hong Kong, while American International Assurance, the Hong-Kong-based life insurance unit from American International Group, is aiming to raise $4 bn.
India is anther example of increasing IPO optimism. Certainly plenty of large Indian IPOs are on the way, including that of Oil India, the second-biggest Indian oil firm, which is expected to attract around $290 mn. But the big daddy is BSNL, India's biggest telecoms company, which could raise up to $10 bn when it goes on sale to the public.
Non-domestic investors that have previously bought DRs of Indian companies are less inclined to buy more as valuations rocket; some valuations certainly look over-stretched. That said, Deepak Lalwani, director of Indian investment at London-based stockbrokers Astaire & Partners, thinks the current optimism has strong legs.
Of course, India and China aren't the only IPO hotspots. One DR operator says Brazil is looking more hopeful as the Latin American economy improves. Even unyielding Europe is beginning to pull things together, particularly with issuers that have contracts that have expired – or are about to expire – and are going out and soliciting interest from the depositary bank provider market.
Easing access
Support has come from the SEC change to Rule 12g3-2(b), making it easier for issuers to exempt themselves from the stringent reporting requirements of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, and making it easier for depositary banks to establish unsponsored ADR programs. This has affected thousands of listed companies around the world.
'We're seeing depositary program providers trying to convince issuers that have unsponsored ADRs to sponsor ADR programs,' says one ADR player. 'That way a company can limit its liabilities and maybe get a foothold in, for example, the US shareholder base. The hope is also that people holding ordinary shares in the US will deposit them into an ADR program, which should give them the right to vote and enable them to receive their dividend in dollars.'
All is not doom and gloom in the IPO world, however. There are notable regional subsets of activity that stand out. Taiwan is having an extraordinary time with IPO activity: consumer electronics company BenQ along with HTC and Acer are all looking to assert themselves more globally with listings. There have also been some notable Chinese listings of late, including two on the NYSE and one on the Chinese mainland.
So the IPO market doesn't lack for biodiversity – but conditions may remain chilly. According to Renaissance Capital there were 273 US-based IPO deals in 2007 with proceeds totaling $60.2 bn. Six months into 2009 there have been just 13 with only $2.3 bn scraped together. Investors plainly still need plenty of coaxing.
What seems common to most regions is the wish to rebuild balance sheets, whether through a rights issue or another type of follow-on public offering.
Investor demand is still there to be tapped, and the handful of successful IPOs conducted over the past few months are testimony to the fact that opportunities remain for companies with the right investment story.

The Lafayette Deception, Chap. 5: Report of the Marvinites
Monday, January 02 2012 @ 12:01 AM CST
Contributed by: Andy Updegrove
Views: 3,469
Welcome to the sequel to The Alexandria Project, a cybersecurity thriller. If you'd like to read the book this series is based on, you can read the first three chapters for free here (just click on the cover of the book). You can read a new chapter of The Lafayette Deception here every Monday.
Frank gazed out over the immeasurably vast canyon that stretched for miles before him, bedazzled by the silent, bright sunlight of an early autumn morning. The enormity of the view was so overwhelming that the infinitely crenellated details of mesa and river, cliff and spire seemed dimensionless and unreal.
It was unusual for him to sit so placidly for so long. Usually he would notice an internal flaw of logic in some random thought passing through his mind, setting his brain in motion until the underlying, disharmonious concept had been identified, the random thought properly rephrased, and the result mentally stamped as 'resolved.' Or perhaps some inscrutable object or action would catch his eye, presenting a puzzle that needed solving before his mind would permit his eye to move on.
But not today.
Barely a breath of wind stirred, and the only sound discernible was the twittering of the swallows that curveted in the void just below where he sat in his trusty folding chair, a few feet back from the edge of the shear wall that plunged down 1,000 feet or more beneath him. Normally, the actions of the birds would have piqued his interest. It would not have taken long for him to conclude they must be feasting on insects wafted upwards as the bright light of the rising sun warmed the shear walls of the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

But the sun was wonderfully warm on his face, and the temperature of the air was perfect. Beneath the brilliant blue arc of the sky, the vista extending below and beyond was too varied and colorful, and the details too precise, to risk diminishment by analysis or understanding. He was infused with a near-narcotic sense of tranquility that he was loath to surrender.
At some level Frank was aware that it was not simply the perfection of the scene and the moment that was keeping his normally overactive mind at rest. Procrastination was also in play, because he had not yet begun to delve seriously into the perplexing poll results he had agreed to investigate. If he was going to earn his keep on this project he was going to have to buckle down and get started. He knew that once he did, though, the riddle would torment him until he had the answer. Until then, there would be no more pleasant reveries like this.
Should he get to work, he mused idly? He noticed that a single, small, white cloud was drifting imperceptibly from west to east. Perhaps he should make a promise to himself that if the cloud should pass between him and the sun, he would get up and get to work. It seemed like a safe bet. The sky was vast, the cloud was small, and the sun was also in motion. The courses of sun and cloud seemed just likely enough to intersect to make the promise not entirely shameless, but not so likely as to present a clear and present danger of actually obligating him to take action. Feeling that his virtue could be established an acceptably low risk, he checked the mental "I promise" box and looked forward to a long and luxuriant bask in the sun.

Reader Challenge: Frank will solve this first puzzle in chapter 9. If you'd like to hazard a guess now on how the hacker has done his mischief, put it in a comment below. I won't tell you here if you get it right, but I will by email - and I'll also send you a free eBook copy of The Alexandria Project, which is now available at Amazon in that form. Be sure to also send me an email with your own address so I can reward you if you're right.
If you're wrong but I like your hack better, I'll use that instead in chapter 9, and let everyone know when I post it that you're better at coming up with a hacking exploit than I am. I'll also send you a hard cover copy of The Alexandria Project (when it becomes available later in the month) inscribed with my thanks. And I'll give you credit in the Acknowledgements section of The Lafayette Deception when it's published as well.
If you're enjoying The Lafayette Deception, please tell your friends!

What are thoes things that hold up your hood and where can i get them

Most people call them "hood dampers".

it's called arms, usually come with a human when they are born, you can buy them in UK for cheap though
Or hood struts...
Bought mine on ebay
2001 Porsche 911 Turbo EVOMS GT610 Blk/Blk 6sp
2001 M3 Red/Blk 6sp, exhaust, coil-overs, and wheels, 19x9.5" with 275/30R19 front and rear
2006 M5 Sapphire black metalic, stock for now
I usually use my arms to pull the latch then open the hood, i might try to feet sometime if I really want to spice it up. After the hood is up the hood damper keeps it open.

I bought mine from lift support depot. I've bought a number of sets for different vehicles and never had a problem.
Here is a picture of my "things":
Got the brackets from kbprice and the struts from Prosport.
TopSpeed Motorsports Twin Turbo R8 V10
MKIV Quicksilver Supra - Full-Race | Built Motor | GT4788 | Weldon | ID2000 | AEM - SOLD
How do you know what length struts to get? The reason I ask is I'd like to adapt some Tein hood struts from a different vehicle because they don't make bolt on ones for the supra.

Y do the instructions say On these hood dampers do not use on cf hoods is it really gonna be a problem... This perticularly intrest me because i have a cf hood
Last edited by KBOOSE; 02-21-2011 at 02:34 PM.
And regarding weight... I'm not sure I'd say the stock one weighs "far less" than cf... it most likely varies depending on which style, brand and generation cf hood you pick. I guess if you picked the one that looks like a velociraptor mated with a supra... the one that has crazy scoops and fins, that might be heavy. But my stock style Seibon is pretty damn light. Haven't actually weighed it, but it is light enough in my opinion.
I got mine from redlinetuning.com, 70$ + shipping and INMO, better design than the one that bolt to the hinge. The lever effect of the redlinetuning one work the same as oem hood lifter (like my father XC70) instead of again the hinge like most after market kits do.
For me that design is better as it give more space to work inside the hood, lift faster (only need to lift the hood about 6-8 inch before it start lifting by itself), need smaller gaz lifter shocks, look better and doesn't work again the oem hinge wearing them as the pivot press again the plate.
My friend went for the standard one on his MR2 engine panel and the hinge was worn so bad for forcing again the gaz lifter after 8 years that he had to replace one of the 2 hinge, the one holding the gaz lifter (had a single lifter as the panel is small comapred to a steel hood)...
Here is the kit I bough: http://www.redlinetuning.com/QL-TOY-SUPRA-9398.html
I replacing the hood steel rivets they include by aluminum rivets and the engine bay rivets by small zinc plated metal screws., they include color step by step detailed instructions, with easy to measure tips, really well designed product ! Their brackets can accept most replacement gaz shocks in case they stop selling the kit in 2-3 years. Took me 45 minutes to install, because I wanted to measure to get the hood to lift a couple of inch higher to the max....

Are these brackets you get make the hood open further? I do like the ones that redline sell, but I am not keen in drilling holes in the hood and frame. But they sure look like what I want.
I will contact KBprice to see about getting these brackets your showing.
the angles those struts are attached to are probably what limit the height, they also look like they'd put a more force down to the struts.
I'd get SC strut and install them like stock.

Our female lab/border collie cross puppy is now about 5 months old. About a month ago she started peeing when meeting people. From the bit of poking around on the net that I've done, it seems this is submissive urination, and that she's simply showing respect to the people she's meeting.
Can we expect her to grow out of this? How long does it usually take to get over it? Is there anything we can do to help speed the process along?
She gets VERY excited when she meets someone new - just hearing the sound of someone new's voice can send her over the top. New people are her favouritest thing after food. She never pees when she's excited to see either of us (for instance, when we get home from shopping, or when we get up in the morning), but we can virtually count on it when she's meeting someone new. She also doesn't pee just on hearing their voice, only when someone acknowledges her (whether or not they are actually petting her at the time).
Part of the problem is that she doesn't meet a lot of people because we live out in the country some 40 minutes from town. If I'm going in to Petsmart I'll try to take her with me since you can take your dogs into the store, but it's a long trip for her, especially since I'm usually running other errands too that she needs to stay in the car for. We don't have many guests over because of our location, but the few that we have were coached to ignore her at first till she settles down. Generally she does, but it takes five or ten minutes, longer than most people on the street or in Petsmart are interested in hanging around and waiting for.
A related corollary is that in her excitement she'll jump all over new people. Again, she won't do it with us anymore, she'll sit and wiggle at our feet, or jump in the air away from our bodies (we only acknowledge her when she's sitting, though). But since she doesn't meet many other people, she still does it with them (our handful of guests were also coached to raise their knee when she starts jumping and not acknowledge her till she settles down, but this is hard to do when she's meeting people in Petsmart, for instance, especially since they're all animal lovers and likely to tolerate a dog jumping on them).
Is there something we can do when meeting people away from home, who we can't direct in advance to ignore her, to help correct these two behaviours? Is it simply just a matter of trying to take her in to town more often to meet more people?

Therapeutic Problems Reactive to Modifications in Child-Parent Relations
Jewish Communal Service Association of North America (JCSA), National Conference of Jewish Social Welfare, December 1947
This piece highlights therapeutic issues in relation to treatment for emotionally maladjusted children and their parents. The author highlights how serious resistance to the treatment almost regularly emerges just at the point at which the underlying emotional difficulties the client has been trying to solve through the treatment relationship reappear in the relationship between the child and parent in a less disguised form than in the original presenting symptom. The piece concludes by asserting how the use of a flexible, differential use of the agency's treatment resources may enable the psychiatric caseworker with professional skills and security to address the issue.

We dug into our archives to find inspiration for the 5 designers who created the Reimagined Home for Celebration Weekend. Hidden in the pages were more iconic homes or moments in Western design we had to share
Past perfect
The Sunset archives are a gold mine of design inspiration. The magazine practically invented the outdoor living room, featured glass walls as far back as 1946, and has done stories on the best possible way to design with sunlight for at least 60 years. For our 16th annual Celebration Weekend open house, heldin June 2013, we invited up-and-coming design talents to give rooms from the magazine's past an update for today. Here, genius ideas from their spaces to try in your own home--plus 10 more iconic Western home design styles featured in Sunset over the years.

Receptacles and switches not working. Help please.
Hi all
I've searched but couldn't find something similar to my problem. I replaced 5-6 switches (some 1-pole some 3-pole) 2 days ago. I tested everything after I installed each one. Everything was working fine for about a day. Last night none of the receptacles and switches worked. The GFCI receptacle kept tripping after I press the reset button. The GFCI receptacle was working fine before. What could be the problem?
Please let me know if more info is needed. Thanks!
C'mon; you know what to do! :-) Go back and check all of your work. It sounds like you got everything wired back in properly, but I'll bet that you will find something loose or one of your wires touching something that it shouldn't. I'd run the same sequence that you did the first time, just to be sure that you don't miss anything, but the problem is very possibly at the GFCI receptacle, as they take up a fair amount of space, and are quick to trip, so it's easy to have two wires touch, or one of them to touch the box. Also make sure that you are using the proper size wire nuts, so that they work the way that they are designed to, and that your switches and receptacles are secured such that they aren't wiggling around in their boxes. See, you knew the answer; didn't you? :-)
Also, Can I not have any of the wires touching the box? What would it do? Sorry for the dumb question.
Sorry; I probably should have said to be sure that no bare or exposed wires are touching any metal boxes that you may have. As Tim said, follow your incoming voltage to the point that you loose it, and start there. The issue though will be that if it drops off at the GFCI receptacle, , depending on how you have it wired, it is possible that any of your devices down line could be the culprit. Given though that it worked and suddenly didn't, I still suspect that you have a loose wire, or a long tail on one of them. Was there a previous problem that prompted you to change the devices? How old is your home, and what condition is the wiring in? Point being that you may also want to look at where the wires enter the affected boxes, to see if perhaps one had been previously damaged.

Since both @mediagoon and Shannon finally tapped out of jerseys (at least for a few weeks), I'm taking the ball and running with it for a while.
Nothing special about this one – it's a blank replica I picked up used for about $5. The perfect jersey to wear around while raking leaves or something like that.

A Cold Case Heats Up at Trial...
The trial for the 2003 murder of a mentally challenged Hawthorne man, continued at the Alachua County Courthouse today.
When Wayne Hutchinson was brutally stabbed and choked to death there was a huge investigation launched.
However, no arrests were made and the trail eventually went cold.
But the evidence gathered and interviews done nearly 7 years ago are still at the center of arguments from both sides.
In opening statements for the First Degree Murder trial of Eddie Gillins Jr. and William Bascomb, the State Attorney's office said that Gillins and Bascomb are and have always been the only viable suspects.
Ralph Grabel said new information provided by old witnesses led to the arrest and trial of the defendants. He also warned the jury that at the center of this case is crack cocaine, which means that many of the witnesses have been mixed up in the dark world of drugs.
But the defense said the only evidence that in any way links the defendants to the case, is questionable testimonies from people who have continually changed their stories and are being helped by the state.
Defense attorney for Eddie Gillins, Michael Finesilver, said "Again, the physical evidence and the science have not changed at all since the beginning of this case, only the witnesses have changed their stories."
The Prosecution called witnesses to the stand to establish the circumstances surrounding the murder, the discovery of the body and autopsy results, along with the character of the victim.
The Defense also questioned the witnesses and continued bringing up the surprising lack of blood evidence in the case.
Defense attorney for William Bascomb, Howard Lidsky, said, "The second thing is the remarkable lack of blood anywhere in the crime scene."
The victim's family and supporters for the Defendants sat silently through the trial. But when the gruesome crime scene photos were shown, some members of the Hutchinson family had to leave the courtroom.
As the trial continues and the evidence is brought before the 12 person jury, many questions will be answered. But with a case that's nearly 7 years old, both sides and the families that hang in the balance, may not find the answer they're looking for.

Deserting the Confederacy
One of the fun parts of my job is getting to see all the new books when they arrive. Today, I cataloged a new book that looks like it will provide a great deal of insights into the reasons people deserted the Confederate army. It's entitled More Damning than Slaughter: Desertion in the Confederate Army and is written by Mark A. Weitz. I suppose that some of my great-great grandfather's brothers were among those who would be considered deserters. They were some of those who were forced to join and looked for their first opportunity to escape. They then went and joined the Union Army. The index does not include the Thornton surname; however, it does include Alabama which is where they lived. It appears to be a very interesting book. It appears to be fairly even in its coverage of all geographic areas, focusing more on fitting desertion into the context of life in the South at that time. The author quotes from many letters and has definitely done a thorough job on this topic. I just may have to be the first person to check this one out!

SANFORD, Fla. — George Zimmerman's defense attorney insisted during several testy exchanges with an important prosecution witness Thursday that Trayvon Martin injected race into a confrontation with the neighborhood watch volunteer and insinuated the young woman was not believable because of inconsistencies in her story.
However, Rachel Jeantel, 19, stood firm in her testimony about the night Zimmerman shot the unarmed black 17-year-old after a fight that Jeantel said she overheard while on the phone with Martin. Jeantel has said Martin told her he was being followed by a "creepy-ass cracker" — implying Martin was being followed by a white man because of his race.
Zimmerman identifies as Hispanic. Race has permeated nationwide discussions of the case since the February 2012 shooting, which prompted nationwide protests and claims from critics that police took too long to arrest Zimmerman.
The neighborhood watch volunteer has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he acted in self-defense.
Defense attorney Don West also zeroed in on slight differences among three different accounts of what happened before Martin's killing, in an apparent effort to discredit her. Jeantel has described what she heard over the phone in a deposition; a letter to Martin's mother; and an interview with the Martin family attorney. Among the differences highlighted by West:
• In some accounts, she said race was an issue but not in others.
• Jeantel testified Wednesday that her friend's last words were "Get off! Get off!" before Martin's phone went silent. But on Thursday, under cross-examination, she conceded that she hadn't mentioned that in her account of what happened to Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton.
She had left out some details to spare Fulton's feelings, and also because neither Fulton nor the Martin family attorney asked her directly about them, Jeantel said.
• After Martin asks why he is being followed, Zimmerman responds, "What are you doing around here?" in one account by Jeantel. In another account, according to West, she says Zimmerman said, "What are you talking about?"
Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. Zimmerman followed Martin in his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teen got into a fight.
Zimmerman has said he opened fire only after the teenager jumped him and began slamming his head against the concrete sidewalk. Zimmerman has denied the confrontation had anything to do with race, as Martin's family and their supporters have claimed.
Jeantel testified Thursday that she thought race was an issue because Martin told her he was being followed by a white man.
But West responded, "It was racial because Trayvon put race in this?"
She answered no.
After the court session was over for the day, when explaining how Martin's parents didn't want race injected into the trial, Martin family attorney Daryl Parks said, "Some young people loosely use language they probably shouldn't use."
"It's just slang they use," he said.
The exchanges between Jeantel and West got testier as the day progressed.
At one point, West suggested that though Martin told her he was by his father's fiancee's house while Zimmerman was following him, that she doesn't know that for sure.
"Why he need to lie about that, sir?" Jeantel asked West.
"Maybe if he decided to assault George Zimmerman, he didn't want you to know about it," West replied.
"That's real retarded, sir," she said. "That's real retarded to do that, sir."
When asked by West if she had previously told investigators that she heard what sounded like somebody being hit at the end of her call with Martin, Jeantel said, "Trayvon got hit."
"You don't know that. Do you? You don't know that Trayvon got hit," West answered angrily. "You don't know that Trayvon didn't at that moment take his fists and drive them into George Zimmerman's face."
Later in the morning, West accused Jeantel of not calling police after Martin's phone went dead because she thought it was a fight he had provoked.
"That's why you weren't worried. That's why you didn't do anything because Trayvon Martin started the fight, and you knew that," West said.
"No sir!" Jeantel said. "I don't know what you're talking about."
At one point, West handed her a letter she had written with the help of a friend to Martin's mother explaining what happened. She looked at it but then said she couldn't read cursive handwriting. Jeantel later explained she is of Haitian descent and grew up speaking Creole and Spanish.

loved this post ! read the whole thing!
Society has risen to the level of its own incompetence and at the same time the means to return to a more sensible world has been legislated out of existence. The above we all know. But only some of us really care. If you are one of us, you will already know the solution, but you are perhaps understandably afraid to carry it out. The solution is this…I ask please do your best to bring back freedom of speech and expression; Please be politically incorrect at every opportunity; Tell jokes that are in bad taste; Travel on trains without a ticket, and then for your court appearance hire Cherie Blair as your barrister. Laugh in the faces of health and safety personnel Edmund Burke, the political philosopher, is attributed with the saying "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing." I'm not worried about evil, it's stupidity that is soon going to be victorious. But the world can only continue its descent into madness if you let it.

In June of 1814, the harsh sentence against 15 men convicted of high treason was read aloud to a hushed courtroom at the Court of Assize in Ancaster, Upper Canada: "You are to be drawn on hurdles to place of execution, hanged by the neck but not until dead, cut down while alive and your entrails taken out and burnt before your faces, your heads cut off, bodies divided into four quarters, heads and quarters to be at the King's disposal."

On July 20, 1814, eight were executed at Burlington Heights (where Dundurn Castle now stands). The remainder were exiled.

• • •

To help mark the 200th anniversary of Canada's historic Bloody Assize a weekend of free events will be held at Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum, July 19-20, to acknowledge the 19 men and their families whose lives were forever changed by the 1814 treason trials. Descendants of both the accused and their prosecutors will be traveling to Ancaster for the event.

Highlights will include the exhibit, Noose, Knife and Fire, exploring the events that took place in 1814, the Zooid Aerial Theatre's performance of The Hangman's Reprise, the film screening of Shipwrecked on a Great Lake, an acknowledgement ceremony and plaque unveiling, and Music at Fieldcote's presentation of the 1812 Overture with the Boris Brott Orchestra.

All events take place rain or shine.

The television presenter came under fire last month after he was apparently quoted claiming the only reason women slept with men is that "sex is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship".
Writing on his blog, he said his remarks had been taken out of context and misunderstood.
He wrote: "Much as you may wish to think me a compound of the most misogynistic, ignorant, sexist and antediluvian pig who ever trod the planet I can truly report that I know and love enough women to be quite assured of the fact that women do indeed enjoy sex."
And he criticised the "self-righteous, indignant and contemptuous figures" who condemned him.
Fry, who published his memoirs earlier this year, said his work often meant he had to carry out "publicity duties" but he would prefer not to.
He wrote: "For reasons that should be obvious now if they weren't before, I don't give print interviews. I never consent to them any more than you, dear reader, would voluntarily consent to being mugged, raped or burgled, but when under pressure I will compromise by agreeing to do a profile for some small magazine or other."
The original interview, with gay magazine Attitude, was partly reprinted in The Observer last Sunday which highlighted what they called Fry's "uncharacteristically extreme comments".
Fry was reported as having told an Attitude journalist: "If women liked sex as much as men, there would be straight cruising areas in the way there are gay cruising areas ... It doesn't happen. Why? Because the only women you can have sex with like that wish to be paid for it."
In the four page entry on his blog, Fry said he only agreed to speak to the magazine "out of kindness".
He said his remarks were not "some kind of eternal gender truth" and said: "I was simply taking a thought for a walk".

Innocent Drinks Storymaker On Finding Truth From Within [PSFK LONDON]
Creative Director Dan Germain shares his thoughts with PSFK on the importance of highlighting the human stories that drive the success of any organization.
Dan Germain is the Head of Creative at Innocent, a majority-owned Coca-Cola beverage company that sells fruit drinks throughout Europe. As a member of the team from its independent beginning, he has learned the power of storytelling to help brands and their consumers relate to each other. At PSFK CONFERENCE LONDON, Dan will share key lessons he's learned that hopefully can be applied to any business.
What does a creative director on the brand-side, Dan?
What I do in the business is run a team of people who act as an internal agency. These are the people who write copy, draw pictures, make adverts, design packaging, produce digital content, design what the office looks like… you know, just make sure that everything that we do looks, sounds, and feels as it should. I also have a responsibility throughout the business to make sure that whatever we do is culturally, socially and meaningfully 'innocent'.
I guess the reason I ended up doing it was because when we started the business, we didn't have any money to give to anyone else to do all that sort of stuff, so we just had to figure it all out for ourselves.
Then as we've grown, and we've been able to spend a bit of money, we have expanded to work with interesting external people and agencies. I make sure that firstly we have the best people internally to do the work that we need to do, and also that we don't just sit around looking at each other; that we go outside and talk to other interesting people, find other new, stimulating things that will help us do stuff better.
What would you say you have learned in the your first 13 years?
I've just learned that it's really difficult to nail down what the correct tone of voice is. I think businesses spend ages trying to define what their tone of voice should be, without great effect.
Rather than spending a lot of time trying to define what the tone of voice is, it's important just to find really good people internally to write; to be in‑house journalists. There's loads of interesting stuff going on in our business, plenty of interesting stories happening, people out in the field, sourcing fruit from really amazing, interesting and out of the way places.
Our job is to get to those people who might not be natural storytellers, sit down with them when they get back from a trip, and ask them about everything that happened. Before they go, we might brief them to take pictures and to think about the people they meet, and note down the stories and the interestingness that they come across. Once we have those stories, we can figure out how and where to pass them on to our drinkers.
But we don't just talk about fruit. We often cover themes that have absolutely nothing to do with what we sell. We just strive to be interesting. We scour the business and the wider world to find interesting stories and content.
In fact, we're always thinking about material. I've never worked in a newspaper or a magazine, but it feels to me the same way that you would organize your staff, if you were an editor. You've got to keep thinking ahead to what's going to be a newsworthy story whether that's one week or six months ahead.
The idea of creative director as editor in chief is very interesting, no?
These days, more and more people I meet who work as creative directors seem to act as editors. They're not necessarily the people coming up with the ideas. They're not directly developing exciting content. They're nudging things along and asking the right questions, which I guess is what editors ultimately do. You find time for people, you challenge your writers and your artists to think differently, and you assemble the right combinations of these clever people, and the right conditions for them to thrive. Then something interesting should happen.
You are going to speak at PSFK CONFERENCE LONDON on September 13. What will the audience hear about?
What I'd like to talk about is the importance of storytelling in a business or organization. Lots of great businesses and organizations seem to be a bit useless at telling their stories.
This may be down to the fact that not many businesses think in terms of stories, whereas pretty much all of human history and human experience is passed down from person to person, from generation to generation, as a story.
If you think of all the really interesting stuff that you've ever learned, or ever heard, the most interesting, the parts that stick the most, have come to you in the form of a story that a friend told you, or a grandparent, or that you read in a great book.
I just think that, even if your business is small, there will be someone there who can tell the story. They know the story and are actually thinking about what the story could be, in the coming months and years.
To not invest fully in creating and curating your organization's story means that you miss a massive trick, because what you then end up doing is spending a ton of money on inventing some kind of fake story that never happened, but has to be turned into some sort of ad campaign, or book, or redesign or rebrand, which is usually a lot of bullshit.
Actually, the true story is the thing that people want to hear, that people love. They can relate to the people that tell them.
We're sure that the talk is going to be fascinating for everybody – whether they sit in small companies or a brand management company that manufactures brands where marketers are asking, "How do you bring the human spirit and storytelling back into the brand?"
No matter how big or small your organisation, if you put the right person from the start, you can be telling a real story about that new brand, from the beginning.
When we launch in new countries it's a new start, every time. You find that you need to have your storyteller in place from the beginning. You will have someone taking care of sales, someone doing marketing, someone doing finance in your launch team, but you also have to have your storyteller in place so that they can be documenting what's happening, and talking to people about it.
The launch story is where the tone, the ethos and the beliefs of a business spring from, so you need that person in place, conversing, responding, listening, right from the beginning.
Thanks Dan!

What voter fraud? I agree with having to show a picture ID but there isn't much voter fraud to speak of, at least not a the federal level
What voter fraud? I agree with having to show a picture ID but there isn't much voter fraud to speak of, at least not a the federal level
Alex Jones: :tool: (and so are your minions).
America's largest groups(s) of Domestic Terrorists=Gangs
Alex Jones is doing a great service. However YOU have to be the one not to fall victim into conjecture. It is YOUR responsibility to research for yourselves to ensure that you are not being lied to by any person or government. The problem I see with this very forum is that there are a MASSIVE number of people who have NO idea what personal liberty is. All the great sayings, quotes in signatures, tattoos on their arms, even nice gun collections in nice safes mean nothing if you do not understand the basic precepts of Constitutional Liberty. There are a lot of opinions on this forum based on nothing but conjecture and factless emotion.
You say Alex Jones is crazy, and he might be in many ways, that there are no Drones flying around spying on us, that the government would never take a citizen and disappear him without due process. That there is no gun confiscation, planned terror attack false flags, and the list goes on. But I have seen a drone fly over my area in Atlanta, and guess what? It wasn't owned by a civilian. No it was a predator or equivalent drone probably from Dobbins air force reserve base. I have also seen micro drones when I was out west in TX visiting someone I know.
The world is a big bad evil place and this site harbors countless mind numbed or misdirected sheeple. If you arent not one of them then you know I am not talking about you.
So yeah take everything with a bag of salt but you are responsible for being a sheep if you do nothing to become situationally aware and unlock your mind about the real truth that is hidden in plain sight.
And yes the story that the OP posted about Alex Jones reporting the disappearance and locking up of Veterans in a mental institution is absolutely 100% accurate and correct. They are getting NO due process and are being held against their will. This is exactly what Stalinist Russia did as well as the Nazi Gestapo to anyone who was in any way against the dictatorial regime. Study your history.
Use google or whatever and do your research before your so quick to dismiss potential true fact about attacks on our liberties. But then again this forum is about talking about how many big bad .308 guns we have and not about defense of liberty. Atleast that is the pattern I see mentally across the board save for a few of you strong liberty loving constitutionalists out there.
No one is saying that what is happening to some veterans is right or that Alex nut job should not be reporting it. But he has no facts about it being a plan by the Obama admministration to systematically take veterans off the streets so they can not fight back if he declares martial law. It is insane on the face of it. If you are trying to tell me that the Obama adminstration is doing this on purpose I woold like to see the prrof you have. And don't mention this or that veteran as an example of a screwed up system and try to tie that to an overall conspiracy.
How many folks have been locked up in this manner? Let us say 1000 which I beleive is a way high estimate. How many veterans are there? millions.
It is absurd to even think it is a conspiracy. Just do the math. What is the administration going to do..lock up millions of people. I do not think that there are enough black heleicopters to go around. Try using reasoning sometimes.
As far as insulting everyone here with your tirade about who knows what about liberty. I will just bite my lip and laugh.
Alex Jones is a joke. He takes a valid issue and one that needs to be looked at and morphs it into an abortion of a conspiracy theory. You go on believing it....You don't get it. Alex Jones is as mush of a problem as is Obama. The preach and are believed by two nutty choirs and beleivers who take their word as gospel.
We deliberately underfund mental health research and services; no wonder that we then have to worry about attempts to sweep them under the rug being too broad. We're tempted to spend our spare cash elsewhere, even when we're thinking of such charities. And we *rarely* think of some charities.
ODD might look somewhat benign on paper, especially when you take only one or two of the traits as examples. ODD is a pain in the rear-end to deal with, though*. It's a real pain. Logic doesn't seem to work; patience doesn't seem to work; social contracting doesn't seem to work; and nagging doesn't seem to work. Even punishment doesn't work nearly as well as you'd predict (ahead of time), and so since the first four techniques are so fatiguing, you find yourself tempted to use much more punishment than you'd normally be comfortable with.
*ODD, unsurprisingly, is commonly expressed in prisoners. This is especially hard on the morality of the guards, because the temptation to be very brutal (to correct behaviour) is always there.
Oppositional defiant disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As for Alex Jones, count me among the skeptics. Has anyone determined to what extent such diagnoses are being used on vets? Verify, verify, verify.
And like my husband said, it appears that these vets have been reported by their own family members for certain behaviors, and then the "authorities" stepped in and went overboard. But this ODD "diagnosis" has pretty much ruined any respect I had for the psychiatry field. If the police burst in my door and threw me in a mental hospital for no apparent reason other than someone didn't like my attitude or opinion, even I'd "question authority" and be "perceived as being hostile toward the government" so I could also be labeled as mentally ill. Gosh, just about anybody would. :blink:
If that was true about the forced detainment, I'd think the 2A would be the least of his concerns. That said, I don't see how this has anything to do with the 2A.

Let's take your rant about "a lot of opinions on this forum being nothing but conjecture and factless emotion" and give you an opportunity to add something to your very own post that is not conjecture and factless emotion.
We could start with just a few from your post below.
1. Explain to the massive number of people here what you define personal liberty to be.
2. You've seen a drone in Atlanta...Please explain to us what it looked like, how far it was from you, what it was doing, and how you know it was or was not a civilian drone? If it was a government drone who owned it? The federal government or perhaps Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department. Please, no conjecture - just facts.
3. You state "You are responsible for being a sheep if you do nothing to become situationally aware and unlock your mind about the real truth that is hidden in plain sight."Please enlighten us as to what the real truth is.

How to Get a Ph.D While Working a Full-Time Job
I'm just completing my first semester in a seminary Ph.D program, which I began while keeping my full-time ministry job as Associate Pastor of my church. It's not an easy task at all, and has more than its share of time management challenges. I wanted to share some of my thoughts and practices, and to invite you in the comments to do the same.
Expect life to change.
You cannot do graduate school and keep on with life as you know it. Many things will have to be sacrificed. After I got my acceptance letter, I began to adjust my schedule immediately so that I would be better prepared for the real shift six months later when the program began. Some things I did right away to prepare:
I started going to bed and getting up earlier. My best thinking time is in the morning (more on this below), so I wanted to set my schedule to maximize morning time. Besides, after 9pm, there's nothing much to do.
I cancelled Netflix. I figured that TV and movies were an easy way to reclaim a little money and a lot of time, so I went ahead and bit the bullet.
I started studying German. Since I have to pass reading comprehension in German, anyway, I decided to get a head start. But more than that, I wanted to begin to establish a morning study habit. I started out with just an hour or so and built from there, so that when the semester started and I needed to study for much longer stretches, the adjustment would be easier.
Think about how you can adjust now to how life will have to be once you start your program.
Map your time.
I am blessed to have the kind of job that allows me to adapt my working hours. If you are going to do graduate study, whether a Th.M or a Ph.D, it will not fit in the cracks of your life. You need to designate a set time for study every day. This is important. Getting a degree is just like eating an elephant: you do it one bite at a time. The key question: when will you sit down to "eat"? If you expect to squeeze it in around everything else, you're setting yourself up for failure. Block off uninterrupted block for study time, every day if possible, and limit your interruptions during that time.
Give your best thinking time to study
Graduate school takes a ton of mental energy. If you can, make your study time when you're most mentally sharp. For me, that's in the morning. I rise early, eat, shower, walk the dog, and then hit the books by 7:30 or 8:00. I work steadily until mid to late morning, and then go in to work in the afternoon. If you try to do most of your study during your least intellectually productive time, you'll wind up re-reading a paragraph four times, or trying in vain to write one paragraph for 45 minutes, just because you're not on your game.
Also: try to schedule your time to provide for the best work flow. I do my most productive work when I am uninterrupted, and can drop into the zone in reading and writing. Usually, that means 1-2 hours, followed by a short break, followed by another hour or hour and a half.
Some people work best late at night. There's no shame in that. Put the family to bed and stay up another three hours cranking it out. Sleeping in or an afternoon nap can compensate for the lost sleep. Your solution will have to be crafted to the particular needs of your work and your family life, but as much as you can, give your best mental energy to school.
Utilize Every Second
I can't emphasize this one enough: have something to read with you at all times. The amount of reading required for many programs borders on excessive. If you have any down time or waiting time, you can knock out some reading time while you wait. For instance, I walk my dog every day, so I got in the habit of taking a book and a pencil with me on the walk. I found I could walk and read with reasonable success, so I did, and it helped me keep up with reading. Others can read while they run on a treadmill, wait for doctor's appointments, ride the bus, or whatever. Keep your reading with you at all times, and redeem those moments to make progress.
Read Intelligently
I have written before on how to read books with maximum efficiency, and I recommend that you give it a look. The method is not original to me, but I have used it with great success. My program has me reading roughly two books a week, so it pays to find ways to devour books quickly. This strategy won't work for every book—some will require much slower and more careful reading—but it will work with many of them. You will save time and increase comprehension.
Each semester, start as early as you can
If you have breaks between semesters, utilize them to get a jumpstart on your work for the next term. Professors often have their syllabuses ready before the prior semester ends; and even if not, they can probably give you a list of required books if you ask. This is important, because you never know when something will happen to set you back. The difficulty with doing school and work at the same time is that you have far less margin. If you get sick, for instance, you'll likely fall behind in work and school. It's wise to prepare for occasions when things come up at work that require more time and attention than usual. If you have a head-start on the semester's work, you'll be in better shape if something arises to set you back.
Get the support of your employer
Make sure your boss knows what you're doing, and why you're doing it. Things will go much, much easier for you if you have his or her support. I'd recommend approaching your employer before you apply and talking about what you want to do and how it could affect your work. As a matter of fact, just to apply to my program, I had to turn in a form signed by my employer which stated they understood what I was getting into. I am fortunate to have a pastor and a church who believe in me and my program of study, and are completely supportive. So the last two weeks before final due dates, when I'm buried in finishing papers, they understand. Without that understanding, things would be harder.
In each seminar, understand what merits your best attention.
Not everything in each seminar is as important. You will be required to complete assignments that professors won't even give a second glance. In one of my seminars this term, we were required to produce several five-page book summaries based on our reading. The purpose of that assignment is to ensure that we interact with and absorb the material in the book. Writing those summaries is a good way to do it. However, there is no way my professor is going to sit and read 16 different summaries of the same book. Most likely, he'll glance at each one to see that our approach was adequate. So should I spend thirty minutes agonizing over how exactly to phrase that one concept? Absolutely not. Write it, get it done, turn it in.
Our big term paper, however, was another matter. In many seminars, you'll produce one lengthy paper that is the lion's share of the grade and the expectation for that class. It will be closely scrutinized by both your professor and your classmates. That's where you should devote your best efforts.
Expect your first semester to be hard
The first semester in your program, you'll have the steep learning curve of a newcomer. I was uneasy about what the standards would be, and how my thinking and writing would compare to others in the program. As it turned out, I was comfortably in the middle of the pack, but I didn't really know that until the end of the semester. There are also skills to learn or relearn. How, for instance, do you do library research? I started my program after having been out of school for ten years. To understate it: library research changed a little bit while I was gone. The digital revolution made things easier in many ways, but I still had to learn how to navigate it. It's also been ten years since I had to properly format a paper (margins, footnotes, etc.). After spending six hours properly formatting my first paper, however, I've learned the style, and future papers will be much easier. You'll also be learning your own study habits: how long does it take to read a book? What are the really difficult parts of writing? For me, it's formulating my topic. Once I have that, the rest comes more easily. Others struggle with drafting or editing. You'll need to (re)discover your own strengths and weaknesses, and the first semester will be filled with these kinds of challenges.
Make Friends
Sit down in your seminars, and look around. Seated around you are some of the best and brightest people in your field. Many of them will be your colleagues for the rest of your life. Be friendly. Get to know them now. They can be an invaluable resource. Their reading and intelligence can make up for weaknesses in yours, and they can help you shape and refine your own ideas. Most importantly, they will understand the value of what you are doing in a way that many people in your life will not. Most people in my church have no idea why someone would get a Ph.D in Christian Philosophy, but fellow students do. They get it. You'll need the support of friends like that when you're enduring sleepless nights studying for comps, or wrestling your way through your dissertation.
These are just a few thoughts. What would you add?

All excellent points of advice. I am in the PhD program at DTS with a family of six (total) and full-time pastorate, so I find that time comes at a premium. And you touched on the one way that best describes post-graduate work: sacrifice. I often find myself confronted with a choice between working on a paper or reading assignment and watching just 30-60 minutes of stuff on the DVR. Nearly every time I choose in favor of tv I regret the work I wasn't able to to instead.
Glad to have come across your post–I've added it to my page of posts on working on a PhD here.
Grace to you!
Good piece. I am currently in my third year of a PhD in theology while also serving as a (full time) associate pastor at a SBC church. It is a moment to be very intentional about how one structures their week and accommodates change.
There is a lot of wisdom in the post. My wife and I dropped cable when we moved and are careful about how much media we consume. Also, I prioritize my Fridays (my day off) for studying for about 10 to 12 hours. Finally, I work better at night. I also need to prioritize family time. Most days I will end up reading from 10 pm to about 1 or 2 am. It can be wearying, but it is worth it.
Thankfully I've got a wonderful ministry situation and am looking forward to wrapping up my seminars this year. Anyone will benefit from reading this post.
Good piece of advice. I am considering a phd in pyschology but the school that I wanted to get into only offers a full-time PHD program. I absolutely have no choice but to work full-time to support my family. Based on your experience, is it realistic for someone to work full-time (in IT field) and still be able to do a full-time PHD studies?
Great advice! I am currently employed full-time and will begin seminary in less than one month. It's been 25 years since I finished graduate school. Although I did very well in graduate school, I didn't work full-time. I know from having taught college that returning adult students are likely to be successful as they have had practice in negotiating the demands of raising families, managing careers, and learning adaptive coping skills. That being said, I'm a bit nervous! I'm planning to continue working full-time for as long as I can as my employer is incredibly supportive as is my wonderful husband! Thanks again for the advice on time management. Blessings!

Why Do Ghost Hunters Investigate in the night
This is a common question but yet no real answers have been given out there to search. so here if our answers.
The reason i write this is because on a few paranormal forums people said
"I am always amazed, that whenever i watch any ghost hunting footage, it is almost always shot at night.Now i know that shooting footage at night, makes things feel more scarey for some, but it's very hard to see ghost's in the dark, that is unless, you are very lucky enough to find one that glows in the dark.So why do people continue to go ghost hunting at night? I am very sure, the dead are very happy to work during the day aswell. Who knows they may even sleep at night, only to come out on nightshift to scare the punters, sorry meant hunters. hard to tell these days, ghost hunting is big business and makes loads of money. Even if they cant see anything."
My Responce was the below which will answer your question why do ghost hunters investigate at night?
I agree ghost hunting does make alot of money for those who are in it for the money and couldnt care less.
For people like me who have a passion i dont do this for the money i do it for the passion and intrest of the field.
Now i also agree MOST of footage is shot at night and ghost hunters do go out at night mostly..
We have been known to go out in day. because i personally do not think ghosts would be out at night when its normal to sleep.. through re search over 90% of ghost sightings are in day.. and happen through the day.
But there are reasons why ghost hunters "paranormal investigators" go out in the night...
Less noise "cars, traffic etc."
Less people about to interfear.
Yes you cant see well in the dark but thats why people use Different spectrums to help see in the dark. IR UV FULLSPECTRUM. as our eyes cannot see IR and true UV. MAYBE just maybe spirits could lurk in this spectrum of light. "not my beleif"
there is also alot more equipment which you can use Better and more effective at night.
However i think we must encourage teams to investigate in day. However investigating at night and day have both advantages and disadvantages.
If you would like to appear in our books, please send us your ghost storys and pictures here

Comment posted If I want to lose weight, should I do the 'Classic' or 'Lean' P90X routines? by Shannon.
Hi Nancy,
Im very inspired by your site and by all the information you have posted!
I am a 21 y/o 5'5 at 154 lbs. I am pretty athletic, captain of my softball team, but off season now and graduating in May. I have usually always been pretty muscular but with fat, I reallyyy want to reduce my muscle size and lose weight. I want to be a cop, but truly am struggling so much with my stamina running wise- I barely take in my required calories, and go to the gym about 3 days a week if that. I just started going back because I used to be 207 lbs and lost it all by cutting calories and finally being treated for PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrom) and focusing on my nutrition. Now I seem to be a plateau. I actually hit 148 but gained a few lbs and that's when I started exercising. I used to be extremely bulky (mostly due to PCOS and too much lifting- not enough estrogen but now I'm on birth control), I even did some p90x when I was and bulked more so I stopped (PCOS was probably because of this). Now that I've lost a lot of weight, I really need to lean out my arms/legs/stomach, I would like to lose 20 more lbs, and not build up muscle but flatten out my still chubby stomach, and tone/lean the rest of my body. I have been taking ensure total nutrition and eat lean protein as well as incorporate fruits and whole wheat carbs in my diet in moderate poritions. Any suggestions for speeding up my metabolism or helping with my stamina? Are there any good supplements for weight loss and leaning the body? And most importantlyyyyy, I was wondering if I should do Insanity to lose the 20 lbs / lean out my body?
Thank you for your help!

The Toronto Argonauts will be without one of their top offensive weapons Saturday when they face the B.C. Lions.
Tailback Chad Kackert will miss the game at B.C. Place due to a leg ailment.
He sustained the injury in last weekend's 45-31 home win over Hamilton, a game that saw Kackert rush for a career-high 172 yards and three touchdowns.
Kackert didn't make the trip to Vancouver with the Argos.
Rookie Gerald Riggs Jr. will replace Kackert in the backfield.
Riggs is the son of Gerald Riggs Sr., a former NFL running back who was a three-time Pro Bowl selection over 10 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins.
Kackert's absence is a blow to Toronto (6-4) as the defending Grey Cup-champion Lions (7-3) sport the CFL's stingiest defence.Report Typo/Error

Hello, guys,
I stumbled upon an interesting series, showing how some of the most valued productions in various fields are done by copy-transform-paste or by "remixing".
It applies quite well in our beloved marketplaces toohttp://www.everythingisaremix.info/watch-the-series/
The quality control here is high, so the reviewing takes time. If your item is good it will be accepted, just be patient
+1 for Coda. Textmate is also quite good.
Coda supports Java syntax highlight and code completion, if that's what you need, then you are set. Go to Text -> Syntax mode and select Java.
I think it's not the best idea, as it will ruin the consistency of the Web.
When you see johndoe.com/.net/.org/... you know it's a website address. When you see i.make.great.stuff you can only wonder.
Half of the domains online are currently taken by domain farmers and just sits there. I think clearing these somehow would be a much better solution, but oh well..
I would recommend Canon 5D Mark II. There is a higher Canon model, but the price difference is huge.
Take a look at some videos taken with 5DM2: http://vimeo.com/tag:canon5dmark2
And yes, the lens is what makes the difference. Invest in a good camera body and then keep investing in great lenses!

Captain Jenkins was the imaginary captain of the USS Vortex in The Doctor's holonovel Photons Be Free. Cruel and heartless, she always had her ship at red alert, and decorated her ready room with small weapons.
In "Chapter 1: A Healer is Born", during the incident with the Caretaker, she killed a dying man so that the EMH character would heal the less seriously injured helm officer Lieutenant Marseilles instead. She regarded the EMH not as a person, but as a tool and threatened to take him offline and purge his holomatrix if he continued asserting himself. (VOY: "Author, Author")
Like her inspiration, Captain Jenkins was portrayed by Kate Mulgrew.

Why do people have classes like spanish & french in middle high school ??? I'm curious
Knowing a second or third or fourth language is part of being educated. Actually, the best time to start learning a second language is before a child starts kindergarten.
In some parts of the U.S. fluency in both Spanish and English is almost a necessity.
My granddaughters began taking foreign languages in middle school. Katy took it through high school and minored in it in college. She was able to use her bilingualism when she worked for Disney in France for 18 months after college.
cuz they are retarded
I'm in the 8th grade and I have been taking French now for about a 1 1/2. I have learned many things and it is probably the easiest way to learn about another country! salut! (thats goodbye in french btw)

Medical and Health Care
Due to the lower level of health care available in China, the current state of medical facilities in Beijing, and the long distance of Tsinghua from Western-managed clinics and hospitals (all located on the other side of Beijing), IUP strongly recommends that any students with a pre-existing medical condition consult with their physician to see if their condition would be worsened by living in Beijing.
Beijing has severe air pollution, extremely dry air and dust storms in winter and spring, and several infectious diseases (e.g. TB and hepatitis) that are prevalent. Asthma sufferers and those with other respiratory aliments will find living in Beijing very challenging.

Wiring can be intimidating, it is for me. I had to take a moment when I realized I had to re-wire the transfer case motor on my truck to replace it. It was a matter of 7 pinned wires swapped to a new connector, and it was simple in the end but, OP I feel your pain on the wiring.
I don't think there will be any cause to replace the chassis harness. Those factory connectors can be broken down, sorted and set up to match fairly easily I think. What works in the end is anybody's guess. You have and engine and a chassis separated by several years. Do the sensors on the newer M50 read in the same voltage and resistance ranges as the ones on the M30? Probably, but who really knows until you hook them up. This is why some people LOVE doing swaps, because they thrive on figuring it out. HAVING to do a swap is never as much fun as wanting to do a swap.
Sounds like the OP had a pro to help with the wiring. I hope it works out

Description: Check out these big 10mm through-hole LEDs! The opaque epoxy package causes these LEDs to have a soft, diffuse glow.
These are really poor quality LEDs. I have had about ¼ of the leads break off before I could even get them situated into a project.
If I had a 100-330uF capacitor charge through a 1k resistor, would this get biased in the correct direction at the ~3v mark and allow the cap to discharge? Like an LED flasher?

TTP | Truly Scary!
Fear-Based Evangelism -
October 31st, 2011
Hooray! It's Halloween, a day of fun and fright when kids get to wear costumes, scare one another and get free candy. Too bad the entire celebration glorifies Satan. What? You didn't know?
Oh sure, hayrides, bobbing for apples and carving pumpkins look innocent enough, but don't be fooled. That is not a baby dressed up like a ladybug, it's a minion of the devil itching to take part in a clandestine black mass. Caramel apple? Nay, my friend, it's a soul grenade hoping to rot far more than your teeth.
What's a fundamentalist Christian to do during such dark and evil times? Simple, open a Hell House and graphically display true human horrors like abortion, rape, incest, drug use and suicide to young kids. That will save them! That, or scare them so badly they can't enjoy their Twizzlers or Snickers bars. The horror!
[Join the conversation about ... fear-based evangelism.]
Pounds of pumpkins were grown for Halloween this season. The number one pumpkin producing state in the country is Illinois.
Wow, we thought Illinois only produced crooked politicians and annually shattered dreams.
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
Albert Camus, French author (1913-1960)
Beggars' Night
noun. typically the night before Halloween that kids go out and trick-or-treat, hoping increase their candy take. Some municipalities allow two nights of trick-or-treating. The term Beggars' Night is popular in states like Iowa and Ohio.
The origin of trick-or-treating goes back to an ancient Celtic tradition of putting out food to appease the spirits of the dead who were believed to walk the streets at the end of the Celtic year.
Common Hell House Scenes
|Graphic late term abortions performed by apathetic doctors and nurses.
|Gays and lesbians being tortured in hell for their homosexuality.
|Kids dabbling in the occult and taking part in Satanic rituals.
|Re-imaginings of school shootings similar to Columbine.
|Kids being pushed to suicide due to premarital sex, drug use and alcohol.
We've been to a few Hell Houses in our day, and let us just say those participating in them are far scarier than any witch, wolfman, or vampire we've ever encountered in a regular haunted house.
Using fear to forge faith is silly when you consider it is faith that conquers to fear. Hey, who wants a beer?

That's a very good price.
I think it was $27.99 or 29.99 for 25 at my local Cabella's last month.
This is a discussion on Golden Saber 9 mm+p 124 Gr. BJHP within the Defensive Ammunition & Ballistics forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; For $16.12 per box of 25... Is it worth stocking up?...
For $16.12 per box of 25... Is it worth stocking up?
That's a very good price.
I think it was $27.99 or 29.99 for 25 at my local Cabella's last month.
If it's known to be a reliable choice in your specific gun(s), that sounds like a decent price. Many of the better defensive JHP ammo is going for ~$20-25 per 20, or more.
As a comparison, DoubleTap sells their 9mm JHP +P for $37 per 50, which is $18.50 per 25, plus shipping charges (which are waived if you purchase 1000rds of anything).
A really good price right now is at AmmunitionToGo.com, which is selling a half-case (500rds) of Federal P9HS1G1 Hydra-Shok Tactical JHP +P+ for $250. That's $12.50 per 25, plus shipping. With shipping costs included, 1000rds would cost $13.31 per 25, and 500rds would cost $13.51 per 25. As of 6pm today, it's in stock. I recently picked up some, myself.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Any good hollow point ammo will do the trick as long as it feeds with reliability. Placement is far more important than brand.
My favorite 9mm load for my Glock 19, I am still breaking in my new Kahr CW9 so I am waiting to see how it does in that pistol as well.
God bless our troops!
That is a great price. I would stock up on them.
We can't stop here...this is bat country.

Yet another, Deck Staining thread
Live in the North East on a lake had a cedar deck built 3 years ago and I cant get it right.
You really need to determine what was on the deck but it may be too late. BTW, all bets are off with drying times and curing times with paint and stain when you live on the water or right near a lake. We did a house last summer across the street from a lake and 2 days after patching with easysand 20 it was still wet. If you are getting mold on your deck I am suspecting it is not properly drying after a rain or heavy dew. Does the deck get any sunlight during the day?
The deck gets plenty of sunlight
Can mold grow after 4 weeks of being oil and in the sun?
We have PENOFIN on the deck now.
