Sorry to be the one who has to deliver the news folks, but the Liberal party has fallen off the wagon.
This is a party that woke up the morning after elections in 2006, 2008 and 2011 with ugly headaches and a deep sense of regret, spent the day on the couch gobbling hangover remedies and swore that never … ever… would it make the same mistake. Oh Lord. Did we seriously do that … with Stephane Dion? … oh my God. And Michael Ignatieff too? How will we ever live it down? Take me now, please take me now.
Justin Trudeau keeps dodging jabs of Liberal opponents
Here's the curious thing about the political trajectory of one Justin Trudeau, the airhead, rich boy, socialite and bon vivant – not a member of the middle class, you know – who has all but locked up the Liberal leadership, and whom polls consistently show is the best-liked politician in Canada: He keeps doing this. How can that be, since he's so dumb?
In recent days Trudeau's nearest rival has ostensibly dropped the gloves, tackling Trudeau head on. MP Marc Garneau, no slouch in the substance department (let's face it, only one Canadian has more substance than Garneau, and he's in orbit now crafting songs for the Barenaked Ladies) called out the frontrunner in blunt terms for being all sizzle, no steak. "He has told Canadians that we need a 'bold' plan and a 'clear vision' without defining either," said Garneau last week. "On Justin's two clear priorities, the middle class and youth engagement, he has said nothing."
They took the cure. Elected new party officials and swore up and down the country to stay away from the quick fixes and devote themselves to a slow, solid rebuilding of Liberalism, on a firm basis of beliefs rather than flash and a pretty face. They would dig deep and establish what Liberalism was all about, establish real principles and policies that weren't simply about winning votes.
Then came Justin, an once again the party is dancing around with a lampshade on its head. On Saturday in Mississauga, the third of three desultory leadership "debates", you could almost hear the champagne corks popping and the scotch swilling in the tumblers. The formal coronation won't take place for two more months, but if you were in any doubt that Liberals have thrown themselves at a new saviour, just watch the two key moments in the event, when Marc Garneau inquires what qualifications a rich kid from Montreal has to run the country, and, later, when Martha Hall Findlay drives home the same point with more gusto.
Garneau, who has the experience and track record Trudeau so notably lacks, was so overwhelmingly polite in posing his query that he resembled an Entertainment TV reporter deferentially lobbing a softball to the superstar of the moment. Trudeau had been given days to prepare his answer, as everyone knew what Garneau was going to say, but didn't have to respond in any detail because the ridiculous format of the "debate" cut off the microphone after less than three minutes of discussion.
More telling was the audience response when Hall Findlay dared to called out Trudeau for confessing he isn't middle class, and has an inheritance worth $1.2 million and a healthy income from public speaking. "I find it a little challenging to understand how you would understand the challenges facing [middle class] Canadians," she said.
Fair enough, and hardly the stuff of Tory attack ads. But you'd have thought she was Oscar Pistorius from the anger that swept over the crowd, which booed her loudly and let it be known that challenging their Justin was simply not on. The blowback was so fierce Hall Findlay felt the need to apologize the next day "to Justin, his family and to those who were offended," insisting she'd meant nothing personal. Meanwhile, Trudeau seized the to defend himself with vigor, solemnly declaring — to loud applause — his undying intention to devote himself to the good of all Canadians, middle class or otherwise. If you missed it, don't worry: you'll no doubt have plenty of chance to see it in Liberal ads during the next election campaign.
Michael Ignatieff must be gnashing his teeth
So, barring some self-induced catastrophe, he's going to be the leader. Liberals don't care if they don't know any of the specifics of his thinking. Garneau was right: Trudeau has delivered little more than a few vague homilies on his thinking, including devotion to "equality of opportunity, a positive approach to freedom, a grounding in science and evidence, and a commitment to embrace Canada's diversity as a driver of strength and unity." But no real meat.
Responding to Garneau's challenge, earlier in the week, to take a position on something substantial, Trudeau's team unveiled an education plan just hours before the debate. It consists of a pledge to make education a priority, to try and raise the participation rate for post-secondary education, and to look for ways to mitigate the heavy debts some students face when the graduate. He stole that last idea directly from Garneau, but without the greater detail Garneau has offered. Instead, he suggests "the remainder of this campaign, and the two years that follow, should be about examining the effectiveness and affordability of these ideas, and many others."
Maybe it doesn't matter that Trudeau has little practical experience and offers few specifics. Before he became party leader, Stephen Harper hadn't spent a lot of time in the real world either.
Michael Ignatieff must be gnashing his teeth. He spent much of his leadership relentlessly touring the country in search of input and ideas, and here's Trudeau — who has a few years teaching high school versus Ignatieff's career at Oxford and Harvard — blowing it all off with some puffy promise to do something about education, details to follow later?
At this point it doesn't really matter what the rest of us think of this, because the Liberal party is too drunk on Justin to care. Maybe it doesn't matter that he has little practical experience and offers few specifics. Before he became party leader, Stephen Harper hadn't spent a lot of time in the real world either. He did offer a more specific program, but has ignored or reversed himself on so much of it since coming to power that it's hardly anything to brag about.
But Harper had to fight his way to the leadership over an extended period, as, to a lesser extent, did Thomas Mulcair. Trudeau is being handed the reins on his first try but a party that can't wait to make him the boss. If Liberals think he's so fragile he can't handle a mild reproof from Martha Hall Findlay, what's going to happen when he comes up against Harper and Mulcair in a
We're about to find out. If the Liberals have made the wrong choice again, they may wish they'd put more effort into their rehab.

Staff was attentive and pleasant. Desk provided a nice room with a view of the waterfront. Quality throughout including the in-room coffee was Starbucks. Weather...which we knew going to Vancouver was going to be wet, was rainy all day so walking around Granville Island was not as pleasant.
The room was very clean, the staff friendly, and it was the perfect spot for our twenty-fifth year anniversary . We really felt we had gotten away to a whole different world and returned home feeling very refreshed.

5 Takeaways That I Learned About Colleges
Ways to Consider the Best Performing Art Academy
The size of the class is the most crucial thing for one to consider when he wants to attend an art class. The most practical class should have an average of 20 students. This is a good number of students for a teacher to look after and to train. Large classes are hard for teachers to deal with, as they can often have a lot of pressure to try to give each student his enough time.
Every person view dancing as a great art and it is bad when you're wasting the real purpose of it just by choosing the wrong school. Many people have the ability to be very creative at their young age, but if it is crushed by the bad learning environment you may never get it back. The best art institutions have small classes which are also conducive for young kids. They do not feel so lost and will enjoy learning new skills and achieve new heights in arts and creativity. The class is more secure with undiluted atmosphere when it is small. Each and everyone needs to feel at home and comfortable and in those small classes, this is possible. Small classes will enhance friendship with a strong bond as there are a few people to interact with. These social skills will be useful for the rest your live and will be of great benefit.
Another thing to ensure is that you or your kid attends a private class. Through many pieces of research done, private classes are far better than public classes. The charges for the private classes may be high, but a quality training is provided. Also, private institutions have more resources compared to the public schools. The reason why quality is assured to this private institutions is because their goal is to make more profit. With this, they incorporate many services such as guitar classes, drum classes and any other good art. Also, ensure that the academy has skilled personnel's and trainers who are well equipped with the skills of training you with any skill that you want. The practicing resources that an institution has also are essential. Theory part is not more important than the practices in an art class.
9 Lessons Learned: Academies
Lastly, check the people who have undertaken training from those places. Simply check on how active and fruitful they are in the field of art. Do they give out a good story about the class? If yes, how are they trending in the world of art? If you put all those factors into consideration, you will totally get the best option for the best class to attend. Through art classes, we will be able to refresh ourselves and enjoy life.Classes – My Most Valuable Tips

Everything You Must Know On IP Telephony
Telephone systems used today still do what they have always been doing and it is answering, dialing, holding and transferring calls, which are the fundamental features that one could not live without. On the other hand, what really interests many is the way a phone system of today are being interconnected to other systems and technologies. Most of the day to day tasks are now automated and the telephone systems made valuable contributions to increase productivity of staffs while being able to lower operational costs.
The voice traffic has took a big turn when it comes to transmission method in and around the year 2000. What was known traditionally as circuit switching to which callers used to point to point path making a voice call, something known as VOIP or Voice Over Internet Protocol, which became a reality and packet switching has now became a new standard to follow. With the continuous developments in data networking, internet quality and wide area networking, it allows call to be sent across the internet in different parts of the world at a pace that the issues in quality are diminished.
Most of the phone system suppliers offer IP enabled or Pure IP solutions. IP enabled phones mean, the traditional digital phone systems are adapted in an effort to support VOIP technology. Mostly, Pure IP telephone system is based on pure IP switching methods and is offering more integration and better scalability with 3rd party systems as well as software. In its basic form, VOIP allows broadband users to make calls over the web without charge. On the other hand, if you have used Skype or other video messaging app, you probably know that the other person has to use the same app or software first and subscribe to the same service in order for this to work.
6 Facts About Options Everyone Thinks Are True
As for these so-called free services, what seems to be the downfall that many people find is, users should be online and logged in to their account in the same platform. And in order to make normal calls to someone on landline or on mobile, you'll have to break out from VOIP network and this is where your call will be charged.
Getting Down To Basics with Businesses
You can link each location together with the internet by allowing every office location with VOIP based telephone system. Internal dialing across the location would become free of charge and seamless as soon as it's linked together. Not only that, this provides plenty of benefits like it can help in saving costs of using a BT to make inter-branch call, centralized management as well as application sharing, overflow/transfer calls from one site to the other and unified extension numbering plan.

3D Printers and Their Uses Every product produced in the market, especially the newly introduced ones, involves long processes and extensive research before we can see the final product. The overall process will depend on the kind of product; drawing, designing, redesigning and testing are just some of the process. Majority of the work will go into perfecting each and every part of the product before the producers can even begin to mass produce it. Prototyping is the top option for the producers in order to create a flawless product. Since they can only test so much with ideas and theories, they create prototypes in order to see the actual functions of the product; after testing, they can perform much needed adjustments in order to perfect the product. Prototyping is the key for the perfect product design and functions before the assembly. Prototypes are the only tools that give the testers a firsthand look at the product's flaws; thus modifications can take place in order to make the product as perfect as possible. Other benefits that prototyping can bring to the table is the spectacular process efficiency that it gives, producers cut a lot of time and money from the original plan; a lot of companies, especially the ones with a tight schedule and budget, recognise this. With regards to the creation of prototype models, a lot of the companies turn to 3D printing since it can accurately create the desired product; especially for the producers that require precise details or even customised designs.

All the parts that are produced using the 3D printer is created from a design files. Bottom line, there are far less cost and time involved in the creation of the prototype and any change or update can be done digitally; thus the production can quickly move from the designing stage to manufacturing stage. Not only that, but 3D printers allow the constant use of various materials in the prototype production.

People cannot stress enough how important product testing is, this is the phase where products and continuously improved and tested; this ensures that the product is up for just about any challenge and it also guarantees the quality.

How do I file a temporary emergency jurisdiction from one state to another regarding child custody?
Question Details:
I needs help retaining custody of 6 year old. I've had custody for 5.5 years in CA. Mother of my son is violent and has been ordered numerous times to be evaluated by psychiatrist's, among other things. She has never complied. I was told by the court that I would loose custody if I let my son see his mother unsupervised. She does not pay now nor has she ever paid her court ordered child support. I had 2 state judges tell me to sue the county for endangering my child because they continue to endanger my son. We relocated with court permission to NC where my family lives. My son has been in school 3 months.
If the court granted you the right to move then I am not sure that filing for emergency anything is necessary. What you need to do is to take the prior orders of the court regarding custody and visitation and file them to transfer jurisdiction to the court in North Carolina. The Court and the Judge's in North Carolina will recognize any ruling and order from the Courts in California. Then they will obtain the jurisdiction necessary to be able to make determinations regarding custody and issue any orders necessary on the case. You should get some legal help with this to do it correctly given the past problems in this matter. If you can not afford an attorney go to see legal sid or child services. Good luck with you new life.

So far Ladytron's Velocifero has given us videos both stylishly repetitious, and expansively spare. "Tomorrow" ups the visual ante, creating an ornate backdrop for a fairytale that involves floating, diaphanous jellyfish and plenty of waterside fair maidens, all shot in sun-spotted soft focus. Even if you don't like the song, the video's definitely visually impressive. It's a bit like walking into a faded Maxfield Parrish painting.

Ace Crete Ace in the Hole reviews?
Hi everybody
Wondering who has worked with Ace in the Hole, the people I am buying my fence materials from tell me it's the freaking bees knees of pour and mix.
Quickcrete advertises that they can be pour and mix, but I read in some threads here that isn't the best way to do it, so is it worth practically twice the money for Ace in the Hole?
I don't have a mixer and it's 26 posts I'm putting in.
Also, these mixes say don't use if it's going to get below 40 or 50 that night, does that matter since it will be underground for posts?
I've never heard of it, but for twice the money, I'd just mix the Qwikrete in the wheelbarrow. That's a lot better way to do it than pouring powder into a wet hole anyway.
genl rule of thumb's no conc unless its 40* & rising & no below 32* w/i 24hrs - that's why we use insulating blankets when it gets that cold
ambient earth temp's about 65* - the ground's not freezing so it won't affect the conc's curing - UNLESS you've got frost in the ground, of course, & your holes were open while the frost occurred - use bagg'd conc mix & go to bed early :laughing:
i'd save the $$$, get it done, & take mama to beddy early for a long winter's nap :thumbup:

Sixty-four years after Ben Chifley offered his Light on the Hill, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has delivered her Light on Rooty Hill.
It proved a little more modest than Chifley's 1949 lantern, which he defined as ''working for the betterment of mankind not only here but anywhere we may give a helping hand''.
Ms Gillard's 2013 version, delivered in western Sydney on Sunday, began with what she would not promise. ''We won't promise the sun, the moon and the stars - we won't fill every pothole or catch every crook,'' she told an auditorium of the hopeful. ''But I am determined to deliver five things to make your life easier and improve your future.
''We will support your job and put Aussie workers first.''
Yes, and she'd deliver high-speed broadband, world-leading education, disability insurance ''and we will help you manage the pressures of modern family life and modern society''.
The 1000 or so Labor supporters nearly cheered the roof off the University of Western Sydney's auditorium. Potholes, clearly, weren't of concern - even if Gough Whitlam had won the west 40 years ago by promising a sewer. No. Aussies would get jobs before foreigners.
The betterment of mankind, not just here but anywhere? Not a word of it. This was about the betterment of the western suburbs of Sydney, which holds within its sprawl of 1.6 million people the fate of the federal government.
The Prime Minister has set herself up at a hotel in Rooty Hill for five days, attempting to defibrillate what pollsters claim is a barely-beating heartland for Labor.
Here, pretty clearly, was the real start of Australia's long, long 2013 election campaign.

Enter the five-digit code you obtained at the pay station (choose the Rent a bike option and follow the instructions) or insert your BIXI key into the reader at the bike dock. A yellow light will turn on indicating that the code or the BIXI key is being validated. A green light will come on once the validation has been completed and the bike dock will unlock. You then have 15 seconds to remove the bike by grasping the handlebars and pulling the bike firmly towards you, after which time the bike dock will lock again. If the code or the BIXI key is invalid, or if the bike is damaged, a red light will come on and the bike will remain locked in the dock. If you experience repeated difficulties, try again at another bike dock or call customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453 to notify us of any defects.
Push the front wheel of the bike firmly into the slot of the bike dock until you hear a mechanical "click". If the operation is successful, a green light will come on and the bike dock will lock. It is very important to ensure that the green light comes on before leaving your bike. If the bike isn't properly locked in, a red light will come on and you will have to repeat the process. If the red light on the bike dock stays on and your bike is not accepted, you must remove the bike and try another empty dock. If you experience repeated difficulties, contact our customer service by calling 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453. The bike remains under your responsibility until it is properly locked in at a dock: a bike that is improperly locked in could result in additional charges.
120 kilograms (265 lb) for the bike and 8 kilograms (18 lb) for the carrying rack.
The law does not require people to wear a helmet when riding a bike. However, it is the only effective means of protection against head injuries. The Société d'assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) and BIXI therefore encourage you to wear a helmet when biking. For more information, consult the Bicycle Safety section.
Yes. You can use the BIXI app to rent a bike. Once you have received your BIXI key, you will need to activate it online or with our customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453. Can't wait? You can use the same credit card associated to your account to make your rental as a member.
You can activate you BIXI key by logging on to My BIXI space or by contacting our customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453. Your membership starts when you activate your BIXI key. Please note that you have up to 60 days to activate you BIXI key after you subscribe.
With the BIXI key, it is not possible to take out more than one bike, since it is used to identify a single and unique user. For 1- or 3-day access, the user may rent a maximum of four bikes with the same credit card. In this case, the basic fees apply for each rented bike. Please note that a security deposit of $100 per bike is temporarily charged to your credit card and is kept for ten (10) days.
Contact our customer service immediately at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or at 1-877-820-2453. The red light indicates that the bike was not returned properly. The bike remains under your responsibility until it is locked properly at a dock or, if this proves impossible, until the bike is handed over directly to a BIXI representative.
You can get an additional 15 minutes from the pay station, free of charge. This should give you enough time to return your bike to a nearby bike station. You will need your credit card (short-term access) or the 7-digit number on the back of your BIXI key (members) to identify yourself at the pay station. Please note that the Time credit option is only available when the station is full and you are not able to return your bike. Refer to the map located at one end of the station to find another station nearby or go to the pay station to retrieve a list of the four closest stations. This will also allow you to see the number of available docking points in real time, so that you can return your BIXI bike.
Check the map at the station to find another station nearby or go to the pay station to retrieve a list of the four closest stations, which will also tell you the number of BIXI bikes available in real time.
You must notify us of the loss or theft of a bike as quickly as possible. Contact our customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or at 1-877-820-2453. A penalty of $1,000 may apply.
In the case of an incident or accident involving your BIXI bike, you must notify us of the facts by calling customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or at 1-877-820-2453 as quickly as possible. The bike remains your responsibility until it is properly locked in at a bike dock, or if that is not possible, handed over to a BIXI representative. Otherwise, you must secure the bike.
Simply lock your bike back into the dock and report the situation by pressing the red button on the docking point so that a technician can take care of the problem. (You have 30 seconds to press the button after docking the bike). If you have any problems, please contact our customer service at 514-789-BIXI (2494) or 1-877-820-2453.

If I was an advertiser in the program, I'd love it... it is very prominent... gave my attention to an ad in position #6 moreso than what was in position #1... (it'll have less impact as folks get used to it, of course)
It'll also generate less qualified clicks from people interested in the icon, but, generating more traffic from lower positions - with lower CPCs - would be a positive, no?

Oil pressure loss SB Chevy
Hello, I am new to this board. I've been lurking for a while now, but now I ran into a problem and decided to ask this board for help. I tried the search function and searched the Knowledge Base, but did not find any clues.
I just finished building a 383 cid small block Chevy. The engine has a '72 350 cid block (.030" stress bored), an Eagle cast crank, 6" Eagle I-beam rods, KB pistons etc. Everything is practically new except for the block.
I started the engine for the first time on Saturday, and it seemed to run fine. I have a new Melling M55HV oil pump (with the heavier spring), and the oil pressure was 60 psi at idle when cold and 40-45 psi at idle when warm, rising to about 60-65 when driving. I drove it around for a while and everything seemed fine. The oil in the engine is a mixture of two mineral oils, some 20W-50 and some 10W-40. I thought I'd break the engine in and then change to synthetic.
Today I took the car out, having driven only a couple of miles on the weekend b/c the hood was still off the car. I went to a test drive with a friend, and while warming the car up the oil pressure was a constant 60-65 psi. When the engine had warmed up, I took it to around 4500 rpm on 2nd gear, and when I changed to 3rd I noticed the oil pressure gauge falling rapidly. I let off the gas pedal, and the oil pressure stopped falling at 20 psi and stayed there. I idled back to the garage (1/2 mile), the gauge at 20 psi all the time and shut the engine off.
We opened the hood and checked for visible leaks. None were to be seen. I checked the fittings on the oil pressure gauge, an Auto Meter mechanical unit, and they were fine. I started the engine again, and now the pressure rose slowly to 40 psi at idle and stayed there. I tried 2500 rpm and the gauge stayed at 40 psi and then fell slightly. The engine idled and ran fine, with no extra mechanical sounds, but the pressure was down.
I have an extra gauge, so I decided to try that. I put the other gauge on, with a different piece of copper tube, and started the engine. Same results: slowly to 40 psi at idle and a slight drop when at 2500 rpm. Again the engine seemed fine, with no extra mechanical sounds.
I took the car in, drained the oil: it seemed fine. No metal shavings were visible, even after pouring the oil through a paint filter. The oil had a strange, bronze-ish color but otherwise it seemed fine.
I'm at a loss. What could cause the oil pressure to drop all of a sudden like that?
I'm sorry for the long post, but thank you if you made it this far. Thank you even more for any ideas.

Ice bags are very BAD. (see below)
FYI - These Cool Vests are the real deal, no joke, try one and you'll be amazed. I thought they were for sissies until I tried the smaller Cool Armor and then the Concealable Cool Vest during an all day Grand-Am DP racecar test session in 100°F heat where I was driving 2 hour stints in a closed cockpit car with temps inside the car well above 120°F. ALMOST ZERO PERSPIRATION AND NO HEAT STRESS! I was wearing a 3 layer Nomex racing suit over a layer of Nomex underwear, Nomex socks, boots, gloves, balaclava and helmet. I felt like a million bucks, other drivers (and some crew members) had to go in the air conditioned bus, lay down and drink water. We also use Cool Shirts and Cool Air systems in the cars and in the paddock for the crew, ( http://www.coolshirt.net/ )but they get too cold and are big contraptions with ice chests, lots of plumbing, switches, pumps, and/or blowers. AND..... they get too cold so you're constantly turning them on and off.
"RPCM® Cool Vests maintain a comfortable 59°F, while ice or gel based systems are too cold at 32°F or less.
About 90 percent of the body's heat is produced in the torso area by the major organs and muscle groups. The amount of heat generated is increased as the body works harder. In order to maintain a constant core temperature, the body must either give up or retain this heat as necessary. How this is accomplished depends greatly on the ambient temperature and humidity around you.
Convective body cooling.
Under normal conditions (60º to 80º F ambient temperature),
the circulatory system carries core heat toward the skin's surface.
Since heat always travels from hot to cold, rather than from cold to
hot, the body heat is carried away as the cooler outside air passes
over the skin. This process is known as convective cooling, since the
heat is removed by the movement of air.
Evaporative body cooling.
As the temperature outside begins to rise, the difference between
normal skin temperature (90º F) and the ambient temperature narrows.
This difference is known as the delta T. As the ambient temperature
rises above 80º F, the delta T is not great enough to allow the body's
internal heat to flow away from the body by convection.
Instead, the body reacts by cooling itself through
a process known as evaporative cooling. When water fluid is exposed
to warm, dry air, it will evaporate into water vapor. This change of
state is called a phase change and it produces a tremendous cooling
effect. The body creates this phase change by secreting perspiration
from our sweat glands to the surface of the skin.
When the air surrounding the skin is warm and dry,
this is an extremely efficient process. But as the humidity rises,
perspiration can no longer evaporate to water vapor, as the air is
already saturated. This is a dangerous condition, since the body has
no other natural mechanism to give up heat.
Vasoconstriction and the brain.
When the outside temperature drops below 60º F, the body needs
to reverse the process and retain its internally generated heat. This
is accomplished by a process called vasoconstriction. Vasoconstriction
is the restriction of blood flow to the skin surface by contraction
of blood vessels. Since the body's organs must always have a flow of
blood, vasoconstriction is applied only to those vessels carrying heat
to the skin's surface.
When the brain is fooled into thinking the temperature
is cool–for example, when ice is applied to the body–vasoconstriction
occurs in an effort to prevent loss of heat, even though the core temperature
is actually rising. This can lead to dizziness and fainting.
More dangerous is the fact that the cool skin
temperature physiologically feels comfortable, so you may actually
work harder, creating an even faster rise in core body temperature
and the risk of cardiac arrest."

Thanks for the timely link, reinhold. I had a bout with heat exhaustion yesterday, so I just ordered one of those vests. It should be here by Thursday. I work outdoors in Florida doing tree work. Never had any problems before, but I guess I'm not as young as I used to be. It hit me hard yesterday, to the point of being scary.
I had a friend got heat stroke last year and combined with other medical problems it almost killed him and he's still not over it

I wore the vest today and love it. It stayed cool for about 2 hours, but 30 minutes in my cooler and it was good for another 2 hours. Imma likin it.
We have them at my FD for use in Hazmat suits. It works for us for about an hour. With heat indexes over 100 degrees now here, they make a huge differrene in how long we can work, but they add an extra layer when they "thaw", and a little more weight.

And people say Allods online has slow gameplay, I will fall asleep after killing one mob if they don't change the combat.
Hahaha look at this
And people say Allods online has slow gameplay, I will fall asleep after killing one mob if they don't change the combat.
doesn't seem that slow to me, looks about the same pase as FFXI. Idk why people are complaining, the games not even out of alpha yet and none of this may be final :/
How to make an onrpg sig in 5 easy steps
- Insert pic of random anime character/girl(scantly clad = extra points)
- Post the specs of your computer even though no one really cares
- Put a random quote from some dead poet or something that makes you seem smart
- Quote a post that makes you feel cool
- And lastly write in bold red letters about how win you are
wow, that looks pretty dull there. hopefully they'll fix that. cuz right now it looks like ffxi with newer graphics.
*sigh* I will be skipping FFXIV after all.
This is alpha so im guessing they wont leave it like that
need moar kraken club
This is truly disappointing. I had a feeling something like this would happen when they said they were keeping the original storyline of FFXI.
What happen to the good ol' days when every Final Fantasy game had a completely different storyline? They were to quick to make the game and not look at the market. Come on Square...let's hold the release date back to 2011 and completely change the combat system. I would not mind if this is what they held the date back for..as long as the specified this.
Everyone realizes that this is an alpha and could easily change right? Right?
Good lord people quit jumping the gun on this game. I don't see anything wrong with it, give the game some time, you never know what will happen in the upcoming months.

This is what happens when you get carried away by the hype. You set yourself up for epic disappointment.
They changed the battle system a lil bit. Made it faster
There you go -.-.
I unno, I like the system before but this is even better .
Looks way better, faster than FFXI.
The gauge system looks well adapted for an mmo.
I definitely give props to this new system.

A buddy of mine who got into the beta state that the battle speed and everything is up to bar with WoW battle speed. but the only different between that is, there will be no auto-attack. So it's a good thing for player like myself who played Final Fantasy 11 and now I don't have to sit there and watch my character auto-attacking.
From the moment I read months ago that FF14 will have an ATB bar I've been psyched. I wouldn't have cared if the battles were slow as slugs, just an extra touch like that to make it feel more like a true Final Fantasy game would have been enough for me to place it a step above FFXI's.
Looks like it's faster than that now, though. And hearing lately that there's "no auto-attack" automatically makes it seem a heck of a lot more fun and interesting than most MMO battle systems right there.
i want a game where u can hit fast max hits cricatals and good skills wich are cool and mad any one plz

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I found black mold growing on the walls of my bedroom, my kid's bedroom, on the window sills/track of all my windows and in the heater in my kid's bedroom (which was replaced 3 month ago). I have cleaned with bleach to prevent the mold from growing back. Who is supposed to take care of the clean up and if the mold problem still persists, what am I supposed to do? I have a lease that isn't up until September 2009?
Though this isn't my area of law, I think most counsel would agree with me that mold, which has an ability to turn the apartment "toxic", is a landlord's responsibility. Your duty as a tenant is to notify the landlord promptly and allow a reasonable period for repair/redress. If the landlord fails to act and the apartment becomes inhabitable, you may have no option but to advise that you will seek a company to fix the problem and deduct the funds from your next month's rent. If it does get to that point, I suggest seeking legal counsel to possibly terminate the lease.Ask a similar question
For purposes of this question, please let me assume that the mold has not been caused in any way by you.
First, notify your landlord about the mold IN WRITING. Notification must be in writing to preserve your rights and start the clock ticking on the maximum time your your landlord can take to clean-up the mold. Your landlord is responsible for the permanent removal of mold that has not been caused by you.
Second, clean up as much as you can to keep the mold away from your children (children can be particularly susceptible to health problems caused by inhaling mold spores) and your personal items.
Third, when the landlord sends in the cleaners, make sure the cleaners have experience permanently removing mold, and ask the cleaners to make a determination of how bad the mold is and what caused it. It's likely that if the mold has penetrated your carpet, drywall, or woodwork, those items will need to be replaced, not just cleaned.
During the time you are inconvenienced, you can make arrangements with your landlord to have some or all of your rent credited, depending on the nature and duration of your inconvenience. Check your rental agreement for guidance on that (if the agreement addresses that issue). Make sure you have an agreement for paying "short rent" in writing before you pay less that your rental agreement requires. That way you preserve your rights and your landlord can't claim you are in breach of agreement.
If you feel you deserve a substantial rent credit and your landlord won't give you a credit, OR the landlord won't clean up the mold, you may want to consider hiring an excellent attorney to help you get a credit or get the landlord to perform the clean-up. In the alternative, you may want to give notice to move out as you have likely been "constructively evicted." Again, an excellent attorney can help you with the details of moving out.
Mold is potentially highly damaging to certain people's health, and to your personal property. Don't wait to take action.
Good luck, and all the best. Mark ArendAsk a similar question
The previous posters have given you good advice. The only thing I would add is that you could have an engineer come look at your mold, figure out what it is and where it came from.
Darrell Cochran in Tacoma just wrapped up a case against the Pierce County Housing Authority about mold. You might want to contact him.
There is a specific way to get the County to come inspect and determine whether the problem is so severe that you should be compensated by your landlord. I've published a legal guide here on that approach.
But the bottom line is that you don't want to expose your family to the effects of toxic mold, so find out what you have and take action one way or another. Hope this helps - Elizabeth PowellAsk a similar question

In the spirit of Nancy Pelosi's now famous statement, "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy", while discussing the Obama administration's stand on the DREAM ACT legislation, Janet Napolitano told Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) that a congressional hearing was not the right venue to "go into some of the actual details of the legislation":
"Asked by Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) whether the Obama administration would consider amendments to the DREAM Act making individuals ineligible for legal status if they were convicted of certain misdemeanors, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday's congressional hearing was not the right venue to "go into some of the actual details" of the legislation."
Sound just a bit familiar? Who needs details on how the Dream Act would be enforced? Let's just pass the darn thing, so we can see what's in it—-right? The conversation between Cornyn and Napolitano appeared to get "heated up" as it continued:
"Cornyn asked Napolitano whether the Obama administration would support an amendment to the DREAM Act that would disqualify individuals from gaining legal status if they had been convicted of certain misdemeanors, including driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of drugs, burglary, theft or assault.
Napolitano said the administration would be willing to look at amendments offered.
Cornyn then asked the secretary how she would use her authority to waive provisions in the law — specifically if she would consider waiving requirements for someone who has been convicted of voter fraud.
"Well, again, I think this is not the hearing to go into some of the actual details of the bill in that sense," Napolitano said.
"Of course it is," Cornyn said.
"And I would suggest, Sen. Cornyn, if you have amendments, we would be happy to consider them," Napolitano said. "And this is the time to see that language."
"Madam Secretary, you're here under oath speaking on behalf of the administration on a piece of important legislation," Cornyn said. "You say you support it as written and the administration supports it as written. And I think it's appropriate to ask you questions about it."
According to CNSNews.com, "Napolitano, however, did not directly answer those questions." So there you have it—according the Napolitano and the Obama administration, specifics and details aren't necessary. Just yesterday, Allahpundit pointed out that the President "might have distorted" a few details about how he came to his Afghanistan withdrawal decision with respect to General Petraeus' recommendations. And just last week it was revealed that the White House was attempting an end run around Congress to implement the DREAM Act by executive fiat. Nancy Pelosi must be giggling at the "fog and controversy" precedent she set while passing ObamaCare.
If we can't get proper information from a congressional hearing, who should we turn to? Or, is every detail coming from this administration now exclusively based on political choices and a "need to know" basis? THIS IS TRANPARENCY? Paging Joe Wilson.

Code enforcement activities by the City of Martinsburg Planning Department are intended to identify properties and buildings that are lacking proper maintenance or sanitation, and to cause violations to be corrected.
The 2009 International Property Maintenance Code as well as applicable sections of the Martinsburg Codified Ordinances are enforced by the Code Enforcement Official. The intent of these codes is to provide minimum requirements and standards for properties, structures, and equipment as needed to ensure public health, safety and welfare.
The Code Enforcement Official routinely reviews the neighborhoods throughout Martinsburg, as well as responds to complaints. When a violation is confirmed by the Code Enforcement Official, a notice of violation is issued to the owner (or other responsible party) requiring corrections to be done within a stipulated time in order to avoid being summonsed into municipal court for possible fines.
Properties with code violations are subject to several levels of abating the threat to public health and safety. In addition to remedies available through the court system, the City of Martinsburg Planning Department may consider condemnation, demolition, performing corrections, and filing liens.
Residents within the city limits of Martinsburg who wish to report a property maintenance code violation may call the City of Martinsburg Planning Department at (304) 264-2131.

Caption: Pope Benedict XVI sends his first Twitter message during his general audience in Paul VI Hall at the Vatican Dec. 12. Photo by Paul Haring / CNS.
Wow ... did you see the Pope use an iPad? Did you hear about how, using Twitter, he sent a burst of information using 140 characters or less (what they call a "tweet")?
I noticed that all over the place this seemed to be a big news story. The story was this: The Pope used an iPad. The Pope tweeted over Twitter.
Isn't it strange how that alone was pretty much all there was to the story?
It seems people thought that what the Pope said was less important than the way he said it. The content of what he said was not as important as the new way in which it was being transmitted.
Perhaps it really is true what that famous Canadian intellectual, an English professor named Marshall McLuhan, used to say: "The medium is the message."
Twitter is the message; Twitter is the story. (What the Pope actually said using Twitter? Not so much.)
Twitter is an online social networking medium. A medium is a technology that comes in-between two people. It mediates information. The mediation is intended to facilitate communication.
For example, Twitter mediates with tweets. A tweet, like the little burst of birdsong from which it steals the name "tweet," is a little burst of communication that can be re-tweeted by the surrounding listeners. Birdcalls can be re-chirped. Information outbursts can be quickly circulated and re-circulated.
The medium of Twitter operates like this bird activity. "The latest gossip has people all atwitter." "A little birdie told me."
No doubt Twitter chose its very name because it hopes to be a medium that is all atwitter with rapid communications and nervous excitement.
So why is the Pope on Twitter? Twitter is not the only technological medium for communication. Facebook is another medium. Email is a medium. Telephone calls are another medium. Texting is a medium.
The Pope uses some of these; but not all.
Television is a medium. Movies are another medium. YouTube is a medium. Jet travel is another medium. The light bulb is a medium. And so on...
The plural form of the Latin word "medium" (translation: "the middle") is "media" (literally: "the middles"). And we are surrounded by technological media.
We relate to one another through these media. They form us. They shape all our social interactions.
Can you think of any aspect of your social life that is untouched by media?
Marshall McLuhan, who converted to Catholicism in 1937, and died in 1980, noticed that we had reached a point in human history where the impact of technological media on human beings was now so great that a fundamental shift had occurred.
It now mattered more whether or not you were using the media. It mattered less what you did with this medium or that medium. Because of this shift, "the medium is the message."
Another one of McLuhan's famous phrases was "the global village." It was meant to describe how today's newest technological media have shrunk the globe, and can enable us to be more and more connected.
We can be closer to one another than ever before. It's like living in a small village, where everybody knows everybody's business: "the global village."
But it is less well known that McLuhan eventually came to prefer another phrase to "the global village." He came to think that the phrase "global theatre" was even more accurate.
He wrote in 1970 about how media saturation clouds our vision of what is natural: "Since Sputnik and the satellites, the planet is enclosed in a man-made environment that ends 'Nature' and turns the globe into a repertory theater to be programmed," and as an English professor McLuhan obviously was alluding here to Shakespeare's own famous Globe Theatre.
Shakespeare himself said, "All the world's a stage." McLuhan's metaphor was that, thanks to the latest technological media, it is now suddenly true that we are living in a global Globe Theatre.
More to the point, we are all actors in this technological drama, whether we like it or not. "The results of living inside a proscenium arch of satellites is that the young now accept the public spaces of the earth as role-playing areas. Sensing this, they adopt costumes and roles," wrote McLuhan. And they quickly adopt new media - whatever holds their Pinterest.
Perhaps some players will Google. Sometimes they will Facebook. Or sometimes they will tweet.
Such is their costume for the moment, useful for playing their role.
Some will even write a newspaper column. The Pope himself used that medium on December 20, 2012, inscribing this in the Financial Times: "Christians should not shun the world; they should engage with it."
But he also added an important qualification, which I would paraphrase this way:
For Christians, the medium is not the only message.
Otherwise technological media will become the idols that we worship, instead of God. Otherwise technological media will become the tools of persecution enlisted by fanatics who, operating according to a plan of constraint and control - an ideology of enslavement - seek to replace God's message, replacing it with the medium itself as the counterfeit substitute message.
The Pope wrote: "When Christians refuse to bow down before the false gods proposed today, it is not because of an antiquated worldview.
Rather, it is because they are free from the constraints of ideology and inspired by such a noble vision of human destiny that they cannot collude with anything that undermines it."
So, that's why I follow the Pope.
And not just on Twitter.

Microsoft Holding Surface 2.0 Event September 23
Tiffany Kaiser
September 10, 2013 12:02 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Many are expecting a newer, better Surface
Microsoft sent out invitations to its Surface 2.0 event today, which is expected to show off new Surface hardware.
The Surface 2.0 event will be held September 23 in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
While Microsoft hasn't been clear about what it's revealing at the event, many suspect it will be a new Surface model (or even more than one).
According to
, we likely won't see a Surface with a radically smaller screen than the previous generation (which sits at 10.6 inches for both the Surface Pro and Surface RT). Also, other reports have said that the next-generation Surface RT (which is rumored to be called Surface 2 with no RT in the title) will have
Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor
, and that the
Surface 2 Pro
will get over eight hours of battery life, a Haswell processor, a docking station (which is supposed to feature three USB ports, a microphone port, an audio output port for headphones or external speakers, and a 1 Gbps Ethernet port for a direct connection into a router) and 8GB RAM. The Surface 2 reportedly won't be compatible with the docking station.
Microsoft really needs to step it up with the next Surface. The previous generation didn't seem to attract many buyers for various reasons, from the fact that Windows RT was a bust (it's not a full Windows 8 experience and cannot run legacy apps) to the high prices of both tablet models.
Surface with Windows RT was released in October 2012 while Surface with Windows 8 Pro was released in February 2013. The 32GB Surface RT launched at $499 and has been
slashed to $349
(the 64GB version is now $449). The Surface Pro also
saw a cut
from $899 to $799 for the 64GB model. The 128GB version costs $899.
In July, it was reported that Surface sales totaled just $853 million for the fiscal year 2013. Microsoft failed to mention which portion of those sales were Surface RT sales and which were Surface Pros.
Microsoft worked real hard to push its Surface tablets with promotions like
giving away 10,000 Surface RT tablets
to teachers at the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and introducing the "Microsoft Surface for education limited time offer," which gave discounted
Surface RTs
to schools and colleges interested in adopting the tablets until August 31.
But the efforts failed. In July, Microsoft took
a $900 million charge on the Surface
due to the flop in sales.
Microsoft is now trying to become a devices and services leader with a new restructuring plan -- called "One Microsoft" -- that will bring Windows Phone, PC and Xbox units closer together for a more seamless experience across multiple devices. Current CEO Steve Ballmer will also be replaced in the next year,
possibly by Ford CEO Alan Mulally
or Computer Sciences Corp.'s (CSCs) CEO Mike Lawrie.
It remains to be seen whether or not the restructuring plan and all of its changes will help the Surface make a splash in the tablet sector.
"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone." -- Steve Jobs

TORONTO (UPI) -- A 26-year-old man who was abused by his father was given a life sentence in Toronto Tuesday for killing his father with a crossbow in a public library.
Col. Mustard, released from prison this morning, says he may consider a wrongful arrest lawsuit as he attempts to rebuild his life.
ST-LOUIS-DE-BLANDFORD, Quebec (UPI) -- Thieves in Quebec stole about $30 million worth of maple syrup from a storage facility owned by the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, officials said.
Mounties are currently searching for a very large and happy man passed out on a $15 million dollar pancake tower.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (UPI) -- Hundreds of protesters marched through uptown Charlotte, N.C., Sunday in advance of the Democratic National Convention this week.
The streets echoed with chats of "Hey hey! Ho ho! We got here too early, shut up, we know!"
MOSCOW (UPI) -- An underwater drone is being developed in Russia, a defense industry official said.
Sources say that right now, the drone sounds like "Buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" but it might quickly reach "Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" with a little more practice and a slightly different bathtub shape.
ITHACA, N.Y. (UPI) -- In the 1960s, some ate dinner with dimmed lighting with music playing on the stereo and it may have resulted in smaller waistlines, U.S. researchers say.
Others theorize that the research simply proves no one can keep down their dinner through two full sides of an easy listening album.
