- Big Data and the Future of Manufacturing Technology (a la the Rockwell Automation Fair)
- Big Data Toys
I am fresh back at the IW office in Cleveland today after a busy week on the road for the Rockwell Automation Fair.
From forums on safety automation, the energy and environmental industries, and global machine and equipment builders, to seemingly endless resources on ways to improve workforce enablement and energy management, the three-day fair and related events were jammed full of manufacturing technologies and industrial automation information.
As I try to make sense of my notes from the event in the relative calm of my cube, one major theme sticks out that really seems to tie together much of the information discussed at the event: big data.
To Rockwell, the terms "big data" and "big data analytics" are taboo and subject to much eye-rolling and redirection. Sujeet Chand, Rockwell's CTO, for example, deferred to something he called "asset management solutions," refusing even to utter the catchier buzz-wordy synonym.
That little semantic pet peeve -- however trifling it may seem -- captures the essence of the big data problem and the issue driving every technology and solution presented at the Automation Fair.
Behind the drive to optimized production and energy management, behind manufacturing intelligence and mobile solutions, there is an absolute and unwavering focus on taking all of those petabytes of data we are collecting in the manufacturing process -- measures of every degree of every gear in a motor, of every vibration of every turn of a rotor, of every stylistic tick each employee adds to every process -- and translating it into useful, actionable intelligence.
Calling big data analysis "asset management solutions" does exactly that -- it translates a vague, broad term into something manufacturers can process and actually use to help them understand their business better.
So under any name, that trick of creating intelligence from data seems to be positioned at the heart of industrial IT developments, particularly in the automation field. Heading into 2013, it is a safe bet that this focus will define the future of manufacturing technology well into the new year.

September 11 Terrorist Attacks, 2001 -- Fiction
Degree Level
In the days following the attacks of September 11th, 2001, writers of fiction and non-fiction, poets, and screenwriters struggled with how and when to put to use their craft as a way to, not only express their feelings about the event, but to "do their part" to help assuage the grief felt by the nation and the world. The resultant works seemed to point toward a new literary mini-genre—Post-9/11 literature. The critical preface both coins an acronym for this literature—PoNE (for Post-Nine Eleven) and establishes a working definition of the mini-genre as "a realist-based literature that is primarily marked by a strong use of a "pre-packaged" central image; that deals with the emotional and psychological toll on the survivors of 9/11—both those who escaped, and the families/loved ones of the same; and finally, that is marked by an inherent tension resulting from waiting for the other shoe to drop." The preface examines early instances of PoNE literature, including the hastily-created hand-written "Have You Seen Me?" posters, early short published responses by established writers, journalists and poets, novels, films, and even the government-funded 9/11 Commission Report. From this analysis, a definition of Post-9/11 literature is developed. In the second part of the dissertation, an original novel, titled A Falling Sky, is presented. The novel, an example of Post-9/11 literature uses many of the hallmarks of the mini-genre including that of prepackaged images from the days surrounding the September 11th, 2001attacks.

My experience with Juvederm in the NL and under eye area for bags has been nothing but amazing. I had a little yellow bruise under one eye and swelling that lasted three days. After 5 days my eyes have no swelling and the slight bruise is all but gone and my under eye bags have disappeared. My doctor showed me a dozen pictures of patients that he had done the same procedure on 6 mos. ago and they maintained about 90% of the results. He recommends on average, a slight booster shot (1/2 of the original amount) at 9-12 mos. following the initial procedure. My feeling is you just need to find the right doctor and not go for the dollar savings.

Why should you get your air ducts cleaned?
You can tell if your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system needs cleaning by one of two easy ways. To inspect your air ducts, first, with a screwdriver, remove a floor or wall register. Then,
1) Use a small mirror and flashlight -or-
2) Use a digital camera to take a picture inside the duct.
If there is visible dust, dirt or debris, you should have your ducts cleaned.
Call Fulkerson Services at 622-1600 for more information.
Answer: Because they get dirty!
In addition to the normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes through regular use, there are several factors that can increase the need for air duct cleaning:
• Pets
• Occupants with allergies or asthma
• Cigarette or cigar smoke
• Water contamination or damage to the home/
HVAC system
Some occupants are more sensitive to these contaminants than others.
Allergy and asthma suffers, as well as young children and the elderly tend to [auth] be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help to address.

You can tell if your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system needs cleaning by one of two ways.

1) Use a small mirror and flashlight – or –
2) Use a digital camera to take a picture inside the duct.
If there is visible dust, dirt or debris, you should have your ducts cleaned.

What you need to know about air duct cleaning
Air duct cleaning is a misnomer. In actuality, the entire HVAC system should be cleaned. Failure to clean all components of the system can result in recontamination of the entire system, thus minimizing the benefits of cleaning. Just as you wouldn't only clean half of your living room floor, you also would not want to clean only part of your heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) recommends cleaning the entire HVAC system, including the following components:
∆ Air ducts
∆ Air plenum
∆ Coils
∆ Blower motor and assembly
∆ Drain pan
∆ Heat exchanger
∆ Registers
∆ Air filter
∆ Grills
∆ Air cleaner
There are two key components to proper HVAC cleaning: breaking contaminants loose, and collection of contaminants.
Breaking contaminants loose
Properly cleaning HVAC systems requires removing the sources of contamination. Source removal begins with the use of one or more agitation devices designed to loosen contaminants from the surfaces within the heating and air conditioning system.
Examples of agitation devices include brushes, air whips and compressed air nozzles or "skipper balls." Agitation can also be achieved through hand-brushing or contact vacuuming.
Collection of contaminants
During cleaning, the entire HVAC system is placed under continuous negative pressure (vacuum) to prevent the spread of contaminants. Continuous negative pressure allows very fine particles to be removed from the system as they become airborne, ensuring that these particles are not released into the living space when the system is turned on after cleaning. This negative pressure also serves to extract the loosened contaminants, which are collected and removed from your home.

Assessment Practices Survey Report Released for San Mateo County
The Board of Equalization (BOE) today released an assessment practices survey report on San Mateo County announced Johan Klehs, Member, State Board of Equalization (BOE).
Approximately once every five years, the BOE conducts a review of each county's assessment functions. Issued as "Assessment Practices Surveys," these reports make recommendations to strengthen or improve local property tax assessment programs.The current report provides 26 recommendations to improve the effectiveness of the assessor's operations. They include:
- Use the BOE-prescribed change in ownership statement.
- Use current income to determine the restricted value of California Land Conservation Act lands.
- Annually review manufactured home assessments and enroll the lower of the factored base year value or current market value.
The Board's County Property Tax Division conducted the review of the assessor's operation to ensure that properties are being assessed properly and efficiently. The review focused on the quality of the 1998-99 San Mateo County assessment roll, which contained 234,671 assessments having a total enrolled value of $66.861 billion.
Note: A copy of the San Mateo County Assessment Practices Survey Report is available upon request.

Welcome back to another exciting edition of "What the F-key?" Today our special guest stars are F5 through F8. Let's give them a warm round of applause! Just to recap, the function keys are the line of "F" keys going across the top of your keyboard going from F1 to F12. As before, we'll be covering the ALT, CTRL and Shift functions of these keys to see what they do.
Note: Do not expect all of these key combinations to work. Some of them may be program specific, or obsolete. If you're slamming the keys and nothing is happening, move on!
Shift + F5 = Move to a previous revision (MS Word)
CTRL + F5 = Unconditional Refresh (Refreshes Internet Explorer from Internet, not cache)
ALT + F5 = Closes the Word Program (although nothing happened for me)
CTRL + F5 = Restore document window size (Apparently not functional)
Shift + F6 = Program specific. Experiment at your own risk, and don't forget to save your work first!
CTRL + F6 = Cycles forwards between open windows within a program
CTRL + Shift + F6 = Cycles backwards between open windows within a program
Shift + F7 = Opens the Thesaurus command in MS Word.
CTRL + F7 = Program specific. Experiment with this one, but save your work first!
CTRL + Shift + F7 = Updates linked information in a Word document.
ALT + F7 = Finds the next misspelling or grammatical error.
Shift + F8 = Shrink current selection (MS Word)
CTRL + F8 = Program specific. In Microsoft Project it resizes the project window.
Alt + F8 = Opens the macro menu (MS Word)
There are many more shortcuts to be had outside of what I've listed here. A lot of programs, like Adobe Photoshop, use combination functions all the time! It's all a matter of experimentation and remembering to save your work first!

Making formal arrangements for a relative or friend to take decisions about your finances if you become mentally incapable of doing so probably has even less appeal than making a will.
But you can expect to hear a lot more about the subject this year as the procedure for giving someone the power to manage your finances is to change. A new document, the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is to replace the Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) in October. There will be two types of LPA; one for finance and property and another for decisions about health and welfare (which are not covered by EPAs).
Solicitors had expected the new system to come into force in April but the government announced last month that LPAs would not now be introduced until October, as part of a range of measures under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 aimed at protecting vulnerable people.
The idea behind the attorney system for finances is to ensure that someone responsible can carry out banking transactions for you, organise other investments and handle decisions about property. Solicitors say the documents can be as useful to young adults incapacitated by brain injury through an accident as to an elderly person with dementia.
EPAs drawn up before October will remain valid and some solicitors believe they have significant advantages over LPAs and that people should consider setting up EPAs before they disappear.
Anne Lewis, of solicitor Cripps Harries Hall, says the Court of Protection must be notified when the person who set up the EPA has become mentally incapacitated to help to prevent financial abuse. EPAs are flexible and there is scope to use them during a short-term illness: 'You can give someone authority on the basis that they won't necessarily use it and you don't have to be mentally incapacitated.'
An LPA cannot be used until it is registered, which can involve a cost of £150. A married couple who each want an LPA for their finances, and LPAs to cover decisions about their health and welfare, might face set-up costs of £600.
Marie Fitzgerald, of solicitor Farnfield and Nicholls and a member of the Solicitors for the Elderly group, says that the formalities involved in setting up LPAs will be more complex than with EPAs, and costs higher.
But Pauline Thompson of Age Concern believes the new system has advantages. The ability of an appointed attorney to use an EPA before it is registered is a weakness. 'They are supposed to be registered when the attorney believes that the person has lost capacity, or is losing the capacity to manage their affairs. But in many cases there are concerns that attorneys don't bother to register them and carry on using them.
'There is no real way of checking whether the person lacks capacity at the time the instrument is completed and sometimes there is concern about people signing them when they don't really understand what it is they are signing.
'At least with the new system, it can't be used until it is registered and there is a certificate on the document from someone who certifies that the person does understand what an LPA is and that, as far as they are aware, are not under pressure. Registration before use is a safeguard against abuse. It might pick up on those professional abusers who "befriend" older people.'
Thompson also argues LPAs will still allow for flexibility because it will be possible to register them immediately for use later and a clause can state they cannot be used until the individual has lost capacity. Alternatively, the person can choose not to register and leave it to the attorney to do this in future if necessary.
However, Thompson is concerned about how well LPAs will be monitored and checked by banks and the Office of the Public Guardian, which oversees them: 'With EPAs a lot of money sometimes disappears before someone thinks this is a bit strange. We are not sure how far the safeguards will protect against someone who is really determined.'
Caroline Bielanska, another member of Solicitors for the Elderly, is concerned that financial institutions may not be prepared for LPAs and could reject them because they do not understand how they work: 'The banks, for example, do not like accounts to be operated jointly and severally, that is either together or separately by any power of attorney.'
Thompson does not feel that people should rush to make EPAs just because they are to be replaced. However, it my be advisable to set one up now for someone in the early stages of dementia. It can be replaced later with an LPA, though there will probably be costs involved.
You may wish to seek advice from a solicitor before having an EPA drawn up, but you can do it yourself. Forms and information are available the Public Guardianship Office: www.guardianship.gov.uk, or telephone 0845 330 2900.

After boom years, vintage car market cools ahead of Zurich auction
By John Revill
ZURICH (Reuters) - After years of double digit growth, the price of vintage cars has stopped soaring and they may no longer be seen as the smart choice for wealthy investors, some of whom will attend an auction of valuable autos in Zurich this weekend.
With global interest rates at ultra-low levels and stock markets in the doldrums, classic cars had joined property, paintings, and wine as attractive alternative investments.
As a result, prices of cars like classic Porsches and Jaguars surged around 16 percent in both 2014 and 2015 following a near 47 percent rise in 2013, according to data from Historic Automobile Group International (HAGI), a consultancy.
But the brakes have been applied this year, with average prices rising by around 1 percent, according to HAGI.
"It's not a bubble and it's not bursting, but the market is going sideways at the moment," said HAGI's Dietrich Hatlapa, adding that supply had caught up with demand.
"The boom times appear to be over, but the market is resilient and high quality cars will continue to be sold at top prices."
Oldtimer Galerie International, which is organizing the car auction in Zurich this weekend, also expects the market to cool.
"The market can't always go up," said Beat Leu from the company. "It is impossible to rise, rise, rise." Continued...

Sunnyside Woman Killed, Prosser Man Injured in Accident near Grandview
A Sunnyside woman has died and a Prosser man is hospitalized following a vehicle rollover early this morning near Grandview.
Troopers say 21-year-old Arturo Castillo was allegedly driving westbound on Forsell Road at a high rate of speed when he attempted to turn north onto Puterbaugh Road around 2:40 a.m.
The vehicle struck gravel on the right shoulder of the roadway for which Castillo lost control, overcorrected and the vehicle rolled coming to rest on its wheels on the left shoulder.
The passenger, 22-year-old of Sunnyside was ejected and died a few hours later at Sunnyside Community Hospital.
Troopers say drugs or alcohol were a factor in the accident and that the cause is under investigation and that charges are pending.

text: I got the impression that the proposed USB dongle was also physically connected to the cable, implementing at least the transmitter part of a DOCSIS modem. The data it would be transmitting need not be encapsulated IP or any other routable packets, just some data that the node or head-end recognizes. I would think that the biggest complication would be that different cable systems use different protocols for SDV, so somewhere this has to be dealt with.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/8/2014 (1046 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Shotgun Jimmie, singer-songwriter Kris Ulrich and The Bros. Landreth will take the stage on Aug. 24 for the second annual Summer Lights Music Festival.
The event will be held under the trees on the Keystone Centre grounds. Performances run from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
"For last year's inaugural festival, we basically stitched together an evening of free music in Princess Park as our way to say 'goodbye' to the seasonal Music in the Parks concert series and to say 'hello' to the school year," said festival organizer Dylan MacDonald.
"This year, with a larger venue and a headliner like The Bros. Landreth, we've gone bigger and better, yet we've still remained true to our goal of showcasing young and emerging Manitoba talent. We hope the community will agree, and will come out to hear an evening of amazing live music."
The free event is organized by the City of Brandon's community services department.
People are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. Food and beverage vendors will be available on-site, and free parking is available in the Keystone Centre parking lot.
In the event of inclement weather, the festival will be staged at The 40 nightclub under an all-ages licence. Watch brandon.ca for more details.

Your FPV Headquarters
You have no items in your shopping cart.
LiPo batteries are shipped from the Manufacturer with a specific chemical which serves as a reaction brake. This means that the battery chemistry is immobilized, meaning longer shelf life before it's use. This addition also causes the cells to initially have high impedance (high internal resistance). To properly bring your new LiPo battery up to speed, we suggest following the steps below to "Break-In" your battery.
For more information on LiPo batteries, please click here .
Break-In Procedure

Experience a tasting of Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or with Dr Bill Lumsden
Please have a browse and enjoy all the content.
The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.
It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried 'designer casks' from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time.
Aroma: The scent of citrus and ripening peaches is softened by the aroma of vanilla.
Taste: First, vanilla is detected on the tongue before it ripples along the palate bringing a burst of flowery fruitiness.
Finish: About a minute after tasting, you are left with a clean and salving aftertaste with hints of orange and peach.
Complexity at its most complex

Excerpts from a presentation Dec. 17 to the Portland Business Alliance Breakfast Forum by John Mitchell, U.S. Bancorp economist. Mitchell was speaking on anticipated economic trends in 2004.
'There has been an extended period of decline nationally in the purchase of business equipment and software. It's not a coincidence that this coincides with a period of weakness in Oregon.
'There hasn't been a decline in consumer spending. It doesn't matter what people said in those consumer confidence surveys. If they were happy or sad, they still spent.
'There has been no decline in housing. In every other recession, housing has been very volatile. Our economy has been growing, but the sources of strength have changed.
'The missing thing in the recovery has been jobs. But now we have four consecutive months of growth in payroll employment.
'How can the economy grow without new jobs? Productivity. Back in the '70s, business magazines were always bemoaning, 'What about U.S. productivity? It's lagging.' You don't hear that anymore. This has been phenomenal. If you have a business with the same people working the same hours, you are probably making 8 percent more stuff this year.
'It's interesting: We're watching the late Dr. Atkins drive up the consumer price index. The price of meat and eggs has been one of the biggest drivers of inflation.
'On my desk at the bank is a little computer. And on that computer is a little green sticker. It reads, 'Y2K compliant.' And you know what that means? That means it's ancient!'

A European consumer company had just entered the Indian market and invested substantially in the set-up of a manufacturing facility. They needed to quickly build a management team to help develop and expand the business. This project required speed, an ability to hire professionals across multiple locations in India, and access to experienced yet entrepreneurial candidates. Additionally, the company had also wanted to build up their brand (which was still relatively unknown in India) and appeal during the search process.
These challenges were addressed using a comprehensive web advertising campaign that Michael Page executed. An account manager, with close to 10 years of experience in the consumer industry, headed the campaign. His extensive experience had allowed him to identify suitable candidates for each role. There was also close coordination among the MP offices in India during the campaign, enabling a smooth hiring process.
We filled 12 positions, ranging from entry level and management to CXO-level roles, across sales, account management, marketing and human resources, in five locations. The organisation has subsequently grown its business and built up a robust brand in the Indian market.

im putting a open air filter on my brougham. ive seen 100 posts on this site about it but cant seem to find out what to do with the silver hose that connects to the snorkle off of the air cleaner housing. i think something to do with the thermac? it is a silver hose on the bottom of the snorkle w/ a a cap on the top. just remove the snorkle and leave the hose hanging around under the hood? or do i block it or maybe put a seperate filter on it.
As far as the other two line coming off the left and right side of the air cleaner housing; From my understanding just throw some breathers on them? or maybe get rid of the hoses and put the breather on the nipples.
its a 1988 cadillac brougham. 5.0 307

A couple of months ago, one of my ITTS students was involved in a shooting. He had just attended a class and two weeks later was forced to put what he had learned to the test.
He is a sworn police officer and was pursuing an armed suspect. At the termination of the pursuit, the suspect engaged him in gunfire. The officer returned fire and the suspect was neutralized.
The officer's very first shots had missed. He further expressed that when he realized he had missed, he settled down, fell back on what he had learned and then connected with the target. It was his first officer-involved shooting and the distances were beyond the norm. He was also somewhat upset that he had missed his first shots.
I told him that in fact he had accomplished quite a bit. When he realized that he had not connected (which can be somewhat unsettling), he refocused and then performed admirably. I went on to explain that this isn't always easy when things go south in a critical situation. It was his presence of mind and calm demeanor that allowed him to bring the situation back under control.
In a very real sense, it took more resolve and presence of mind to rein himself in, rely on mechanics and perform successfully when he realized things were not going as well as he'd hoped. This is presence of mind.
I've had a number of students over the years express dismay that they missed any shots at all in the field. This is not an uncommon phenomenon. The mere fact that we are the good guys does not mean our rounds will always find their mark. Rounds cannot distinguish between malicious motive and good intent.
As I have written in the past, certain factors are beyond our control. Suspects move rapidly, they move erratically, and they can alter distances and angles in the blink of an eye. A host of other variables play into shootings as well, and are somewhat difficult to replicate in standard range settings. You are in essence being presented with a situation that you have never experienced before.
Twenty-twenty hindsight is nifty after the fact—which is why they call it hindsight and not foresight.
As a point of fact, each shooting is wholly unique unto itself. You have to solve a stressful and perhaps complex problem for the first time with little information upfront, and you are almost never afforded the latitude of a warm-up. Sure, you might miss shots, but the final outcome is what counts. In a perfect world, all shots would connect, all decisions would be on line, and everything you accomplished could not possibly be improved upon.
However, this is life, and life is as imperfect as we are. I am as proud of a student who missed, hung in there and prevailed as I am of a student who connected right out of the gate. Both have accomplished difficult tasks under demanding criteria and should be proud that they did what was right and prevailed.
Anyone can miss. Were I to tell you that I will never miss a single shot ever again, it would mean that I would never fire a single shot ever again!
In other words, you can't beat yourself up over things you have no control of. To paraphrase, "It's just war." One might be dismayed with his personal performance in the field, but this is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, especially if you prevail.
A shooter should critically examine what he has done—both right and wrong—after a real-world evolution. From this, lessons are drawn and improvements are made. This moves us forward progressively and raises the standards for performance in the future.
However, life is not always as we would like it to be. The fact that the officer was able to talk to me is satisfaction enough that he performed professionally in the field, and I am proud of him for that.

'Nothing Compares To Wrecking Ball' mashup goes viral after O'Connor Cyrus spat
A video mashup of the two hits has gained almost 400,000 views in just over two days.
YouTube user Robin Skouteris created the video, which splices together visual elements from both videos and perfectly marries the songs in the audio.
The video has gained over 400,000 views on video sharing site YouTube since it was posted on the 4th of October.
The two singers have gained the attention of social networking sites since Cyrus' mocked O'Connor's mental health issues following an open letter by O'Connor to the star.
The exhanges began when Cyrus claimed her 'Wrecking Ball' video was like O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares To You' but the "most modern version".

I just got my 2002 WRX two weeks ago... Before my WRX I was driving a 1993 mazda MX-3 all through college. Now finally I have an awsome car! And a large difference in horse power!
Any ways, I've been driveing around looking every where for a race... And for the past two weeks I pull up next to nothing but mini vans... I was getting so frusterated!!! A new car and not a single chance to play it against another car!!!
Last night after a night at the Rib Fest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was driving through Minnetonka with a couple friends and stoped in a service station for a bathroom break. After I came out I noticed that a mazda6 was sitting in the corner of the gas station with only their parking lights on. As I driving towards the exit to get back on the street I swung right over past the mazda6 and reved up the engine. I'm still stock - but I'm working on that. Any ways, he took the challange right away. He quickly poped around and we met on the street at a light.
When we both pulled up to the light it was about to turn green and neither of us got a chance to completely stop. My launch was TERRIBLE!!! (Give me a break, it was my FIRST race in my new car!) I launched at about only 3500 rpms and he had me right away on that by a couple yards. I red lined it and granny shifted into second. After red lineing again in second I was ahead, but only by a several feet. Then again after my horrible launch I completely missed third gear and grinded the clutch. Which brough my rpms all the way back down to near 4500. JESSE this was a horrible race on my part... Any ways the road was to narrow to two lanes up ahead and I was already almost a car length ahead still in third so I beat him to the narrow and we both slowed down. I finally turned off to turn around and he kept going.
That was my crappy race... My first one... I'm dissapointed that I sucked it up so bad... But I'm still way excited that I still won! It's great to be a WRX driver! Hopefully next time I will have the chance to polish up on the mistakes I made this time.
Also, any advice on the best method of shifing in our WRXs would be helpful. What have you guys found to be most effective? How do you double clutch?
Thanks everyone for making a web site like this work. Its great to know other WRX fans!

Hands-on: Apple CarPlay reviewPocket-lint
Apple CarPlay is the tech giant's foray into in-car technology, which has been propelled into the public interest at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. And that's exactly where we've had the chance to take a look at it in action.
But not at the Cupertino company's own stall to show off its wares, because Apple doesn't exhibit at the Geneva Show. Instead it was in Volvo's Concept Estate that we got our first experience of the technology which enables interaction with Apple's ecosystem directly through a dashboard touchscreen.
READ: Volvo Concept Estate pictures and hands-on
We'll get the disappointment out of the way straight off: we found out precious little information that we don't already know about Apple's integration into the car. But there are plenty of interesting nuggets we did discover. CarPlay will work in parallel to manufacturers' own systems, for example. You won't be able to retro-fit it to the company's old vehicles as far as we've been told. Oh, and from a mapping point of view, Apple's interface uses Apple Maps only for now. Which means you might still wish to add a manufacturer's own system if you fancy not getting lost. Yeah, we said it.
Here's how it all works in the forthcoming Volvo XC90 that we saw CarPlay in: the new 10.3-inch portrait-format centre screen has been designed around four primary "tiles". It's almost got a Windows Phone style approach to the layout of the homescreen, divided into four bands: navigation, media, phone and CarPlay.
From the base of the screen you can drag up the climate controls to adjust temperature, switch your heated seat on and that kind of thing, while the top bar has an ever-present time display, phone signal strength and battery life and, in this instance, a central Volvo logo to act as the return-to-home screen button.
Press on any of the horizontal tiles and it will expand out. What was interesting here is that in the case of Volvo one of its three tiles is dedicated to its own navigation - when in CarPlay you can of course just use Apple Maps. However, it's clear the company thinks you might want to do this because, well, it's not Apple Maps, but also because it talks natively to the driver cluster and head-up display (HUD) - pulling through turn-by-turn instructions. According to Volvo, if you run Apple Maps through CarPlay on the system, it can't throw things into the HUD.
But what of CarPlay itself? Well, it's as you might expect. Tap on the bottom of the four tiles for CarPlay and it brings up the familiar Apple icon selection to include Phone, Music, Maps, Messages, Now Playing and Podcasts. But we can't tell you any more than that just yet because Apple has locked it down.
But what we do find intriguing is that it runs very much in parallel - or complementary to - the car manufacturer's own system, rather than taking over the entire real estate and creating a situation where you'll just be using an Apple interface.
Perhaps that's a deliberate move on the part of the car brand, which perhaps unsurprisingly isn't so keen to give over all its screens to the boys from Cupertino. And for some, what we're saying might suggest that CarPlay isn't going to be the in-car panacea many have suggested.
But it does nonetheless look familiar, slick and entirely well integrated. In time, we're sure that it could take over car manufacturers' own in-car setups for the better. If, that is, you're an Apple user.
We look forward to trying out CarPlay on the road in the near future.

Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
Hi All, the time to live aboard is coming soon and am looking for a marina in the hopeful southern florida area. Does anyone have any recomendations?
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
there is a place in miami called sunset marina with many slips available and you can move in now. its only 36 dollars per foot per month,and thats based on a 40 foot minimum.there is also a 75 dollar per month liveaboard fee.If thats not where you want to go,then I beleive the palm beach yacht club has guest slips at 50 dollars per day.or you can wait for the marina in lake okeechobee to be rebuilt.I was there for 5 years,alittle more reasonable rates,accessible from anywhere,look them up on the web.the everglades adventures and sailing resort.dont go swimming in the lake if you go.its like a scene from any of the jurassic park movies.I mean those gators are within arms reach,and they would love to have it as a snack
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
Just curious.
(36*40)+75 = 1515 $ / month.
That seems pretty expensive for a marina. What facilities do they have there? I was looking to live aborad but at that rate I would rather pay a mortage.
At what ''rate / foot'' do you get a nice marina versus a ''trailer park''? I know this surely depends on location etc... Lets just say near Miami or other large cities in Florida.
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
well steve you need to understand that this is a place where multi millionaires keep ther boats.Im in a place temporarily at 14 dollars per foot per month ,they dont allow liveaboards but they dont care if you do,see my thread about "just be low key"some of these real ritsy places in palm beach,like where rush limbaugh lives,they require that you have a verifiable liquid net worth of no less than 1.1million dollars
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
Dinner Key in Miami might be a good start Las Olas Blvd in Ft Lauderdale always has dockage behind the apartments Moss marine in FtMyers. The City of FtLaud has dockage along the river but hard to get. Some marinas look the other way if you are cool about it and don''t make a big thing of staying aboard for extended periods of time. I am always geting ready for a cruise ya know ;)Don''t hang out your laundry or clutter up the dock with junk,bikes outboard parts ect, plywood is a no no.
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
I am presently in Cortez, Florida, just south of Tampa Bay. In the manatee river, there are two places: Twin Dolphins at $12/ft and a liveaboard fee of about $125. A good place with lots of good people. Across the river is Regatta Point Marina. $12.75 /ft, $125 liveaboard fee, they GOUGE you for electric and fuel, and are run by the worst crew of two-faced lunatics you ever saw, but there are some good customers there, if they have survived. I''m in a place for $8.50 /ft and $100 liveaboard with electric included. I love it. If you look around some, you''ll find places. They exist, and gear up to anchor out. That opens up the cruising here and frees you up.
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
correcton on twin dolphins. the new fees are $15/foot. It was quoted to my SO yesterday that the new fees are that.
It is a well run, beautiful marina..
cortez? would that be cortez cove marina?
nice place except for the rats and palmetto bugs. I have never had a problem with either until I moved there.
however, the company in the marina is most excellent and the manegement laid back and easy to deal with.
last i heard it is not a legal liveaboard marina but 90% of the boats have ppl who "visit thier boats a lot"
check it out..
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
sure.you can stay there but you cant live there,retire and grow old there.sounds familiar.I think its called "sneaking aboard"
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
Actually, I''m not in Cortez Cove Marina. I''m in Seafood Shack Marina across the way and right on the intercoastal. It is a legal liveaboard marina, without the bugs or other nasties and no need to lie or sneak aboard. It is sometimes subject to a little ''waking'', being right near the bridge, but it''s great. Sit on the foredeck for sunsets. Watch the traffic on the Intercoastal. Good people. Good place.
Needing to find a LiveAboard Marina
I''m thinking of bringing my boat back to the Bradenton/St Pete area this spring. Does anyone know of a resonable place to keep a 37''er? The $500-$700+ at Twin Dolphin and Regatta Point are just too much. A dock behind someone''s house of condo would be fine. Anyone with any ideas?

stupid Q. TH350 + TH400 use same flexplate?
damned sure they do. i know the converters, driveline, crossmembers are different, just wondering if i should be changing the flexplate as well cause i'm not planning on it. thnx! shifter cable should be the same too yeah?
it uses a bigger converter @1"bigger in diameter but i guess you could use the smaller one out of a th350, beats me. doesnt matter to me right now cause i got the one the th400 came with, so i am good to go i am putting the larger converter on the same flex plate the smaller one was on, so i hope the bolt pattern is the same.

maybe its the balancer thats different, but I thought I was told I needed a flet plate to go with the crank when I put a 400 sbc crank in a 350sb engine?? not sure though. Might want to check with your local engine builders to be safe.
Rat Rods Rule!
The th350 and th400 use the same flexplate. A 350ci ad 400ci engine use different flexplates and balancers due to the internal vs external balancing.
First, the original converters to the T-350 and the T-400 are not the same size or bolt pattern size as you have noticed. The converters will inter change between the trannys since the splines and hubs are the same sizes.
Flexplates some times have a dual pattern on them for the different converters, sometimes not. Some flexpaltes have six holes of the same spacing for a 6 lug/bolt converter application.
THe original T-400 converter is larger and has a larger bolt pattern for the flexplate as you noticed.
You need to do a visual inspection and measure the pattern for the flexplate and the converter of the T-350 if you wish to install the smaller converter.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.
Crosley you are correct I was only talking about the converter fitting the tranny. It is true they have a different bolt pattern. Most aftermarket flexplates have dual patterns to fit both.
I don't know why I said they use the same flexplate, I guess that's what happens if you don't eat breakfast. 400 flexplates are NOT the same as the 350 engine. 400 are externally balanced and 350 is internally balanced (400 flexplate has a weight on one side of it.)
For some reason I was under the impression you were talking th350 and th400 (transmissions not 350ci and 400ci ENGINES) If you are talking transmissions th400 and th350 will accept the same converter and flexplate.
Wait if he is just changing from a th350 to a th400 he will not have to change the converter or flexplate. That is what I thought the question is, correct? (is that the question)
"stupid Q. TH350 + TH400 use same flexplate?"
since they are both prefixed with TH that means he is talking about turbo hydramatic, which in this case would be the transmission. I did NOT mispeak earlier, if that is truly the question.
flex plates( flywheel)
85 and up 350 engines are weighted on the flywheel lets get up with the times here
I think we got away from the OE question.
the T-350 converter will work in the T-400. So I guess the correct answer is use the same converter that will bolt to the flexplate/flywheel.
I was trying to point out that not all flywheels have multi patterns. Perjhaps I need to not elaborate an answers too much
I just swapped converters on a 68 Hurst/Olds with a T-400. I did a T-400 size stall converter on the car so I did not have to remove the flywheel and drill it for a smaller converter bolt pattern.
Dont worry how old you are... it is the mileage on your body that adds up.

Wildfires continue to scorch Southcentral, Interior Alaska
Update, 7 p.m.
The Funny River wildfire has increased in size to nearly 44,000 acres — still with zero percent containment, according to authorities. The fire is currently spreading in the direction of refuge land, away from homes. Additional crews from around the state and the Lower 48, along with two Canadair CL-215 firefighting aircraft, are en route to assist in the firefighting efforts.
The Bureau of Land Management's Yukon Crossing Visitor Contact Station, located at Mile 56 on the Dalton Highway, is closed due to the Dalton River Crossing fire. The Mile 60 campground is also off limits.
Information on Dalton Highway conditions and closures can be found online. Other BLM facilities along the highway, including the Arctic Interagency Visitor Center in Coldfoot, are scheduled to open Friday, officials said in a statement released Wednesday evening.
Original story
Two wildfires still rage in Southcentral Alaska, charring thousands of acres and concerning residents and fire officials. A third wildfire also sprung up in the state's Interior Tuesday evening that is within two miles of the Dalton Highway.
The fire was reported Tuesday evening, north of the Yukon River and three miles east of the Dalton Highway. Sixteen smokejumpers and a helicopter are working the fire, said the state's Division of Forestry. As of Wednesday afternoon, it's estimated to be about 350 acres, said forestry information officer Sam Harrel.
As of 2 p.m. Wednesday, the fire is moving west toward the highway and is one to two miles away. The fire, which is burning spruce and tundra, could reach the highway Wednesday evening, officials said. There's also worry it could reach the trans-Alaska pipeline.
The Funny River fire had grown to 20,000-plus acres by Wednesday morning, the Division of Forestry said. Ash could be seen falling from the sky over the Soldotna Municipal Airport. No one has been forced to evacuate yet, but the fire is only a few miles away from homes along the Sterling Highway.
Shanna McCartney, who lives off Funny River Road, said she'll start packing if the fire gets any closer to her home.
"I was confident until I saw the flames by the road [Tuesday] night," she said.
McCartney said she's seen her fair share of wildfires, but still can't help but worry.
More firefighters are on their way to tackle the blaze and officials said they've ordered more hotshots and air resources.
However, conditions are making it hard to get off the ground. Because of the amount of smoke, fire officials said they aren't sure if they'll be able to attack the Funny River fire from the air Wednesday.
For now, the goal is to secure the northern flank of the blaze, try to put retardant down and secure the west side of the fire from Kasilof.
Meanwhile, the wildfire near Tyonek, which burned three structures overnight, now stretches about 1,500 acres and has changed course. Some Tyonek residents have returned home after a Monday evacuation as the fire now heads north toward Beluga. A Chugach Electric power plant is nearby, and there's some concern the fire could reach it, the Division of Forestry said.
At the moment, the power plant — which supplies about one-third of Anchorage's power — is not threatened, Chugach Electric officials said.
Three crews and three helicopters are assigned to the fire, Harrel said, and two retardant air tankers are also working to curb the advance of flames.
Both Southcentral fires sparked Monday. The Funny River fire is believed to be human-caused and the Tyonek fire is believed to have started after a tree hit a power line.
–This is a developing story.

DGA drops $500k on Crist
The donation is the largest contribution to Cristâs political committee, Charlie Crist for Florida. And itâs one of the largest given this campaign cycle.
âItâs just one more realization that Charlie is going to be the nominee,â Bob Poe, Cristâs fundraiser, told The Miami Herald. âThis is probably the first installment from the DGA. And itâs not only their blessing of Charlie. But itâs the recognition that this is real. Charlie has proven himself time and again.â
Crist is ahead in the polls, but he trails Gov. Rick Scott in fundraising.
Still, Crist has raised a noteworthy sum -- $10.9 million for his campaign and political committee â since November.
Poe acknowledges the campaign will still be outspent by Scott, who wants to burn about $100 million. Crist hopes to have half that.
âAnyone who doesnât think weâll have what we need is wrong,â Poe said. âWe wonât have what they have, but weâll have what we need.â
The DGAâs rival, the Republican Governorâs Association, dropped a single $2.5 million contribution on Scott in January. Scott is also receiving and spending big, considering it's just April. He has burned about $5.4 million on ads and just announced an earlier-than-ever Spanish-language TV ad as part of a new Hispanic-outreach push.
Crist still has a primary opponent, former Weston state Sen. Nan Rich, but she has struggled to fundraise and catch fire the way Crist has, even though he was once a Republican and then an independent.
Rich wants Crist to debate. Crist has firmly said âno.â
The day after the check was cut, Crist proved he also had grassroots appeal when his campaign opened its first Broward County field office, on Saturday in Plantation, and drew an enthusiastic crowd of about 300.
The $500,000 wonât be burned on ads as much as a field program to help staff regional offices, recruit volunteers and gin up excitement.
Though far smaller than Barack Obamaâs Florida campaign, Cristâs effort reflects the presidentâs re-elect and its staff. Cristâs top advisor, Jim Messina, was Obamaâs 2012 campaign manager and Cristâs campaign manager, Omar Khan, was Obamaâs national associate political director in 2012 and was deputy political director in Florida in 2008.
As Crist wrapped up his Saturday speech during the field office opening, Khan was on hand to make sure that the candidate encouraged spectators to become volunteers or stay in touch with the campaign.
âEverybody sign up. We need your emails,â Crist said.
âAnybody with a clipboard,â Khan said to Crist.
âAnybody with a clipboard,â Crist dutifully repeated into the microphone. âEverybody sign up. This is really important. Something I learned as a Democrat.â

Rogue Fact: Palin suggests "no other candidate" subjected to scrutiny "about their hair, makeup, or clothes"
Research ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Sarah Palin writes in her memoir that after it was reported that the Republican National Committee spent $150,000 "to clothe and accessorize" Palin and her family, "many wondered at the same time why no other candidates or their spouses were being asked a thing about their hair, makeup, or clothes." However, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama were repeatedly subjected to critiques and questions about "their hair, makeup, or clothes" during the 2008 campaign.
Palin: "[M]any wondered at the same time why no other candidates or their spouses were being asked a thing about their hair, makeup, or clothes"
From Pages 314 - 315 of Going Rogue: An American Life:
The first wardrobe story hit on October 22: "RNC Shells Out $150K for Palin Fashion." The [Politico] headline was highly misleading, as was the article itself, which said that according to campaign financial disclosures, the McCain campaign had spent $150,000 "to clothe and accessorize vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and her family."
I didn't care so much about the petty potshots because I knew they weren't true, and people who knew me laughed out loud when they read the "diva" accusations. But my family was made to look like a herd of hillbillies who had come to the big city and started living high on the hog, and that hurt me for them. My family is frugal. We clip coupons. We shop at Costco. We buy diapers in bulk and generic peanut butter. We don't have full-time nannies or housekeepers or drivers. So the portrayal of my family as wasting other people's money on clothes was a false one. And many wondered at the same time why no other candidates or their spouses were being asked a thing about their hair, makeup, or clothes.
Politico article Palin cited contradicts her "no other candidate" claim
Politico: "The business of primping and dressing on the campaign trail has become fraught with political risk in recent years." The same Politico article Palin referenced noted that questions have been raised about other candidates' "primping and dressing," and Politico reported that it reviewed "similar records" for Obama but found "no similar spending." From the article:
The business of primping and dressing on the campaign trail has become fraught with political risk in recent years as voters increasingly see an elite Washington out of touch with their values and lifestyles.
In 2000, Democrat Al Gore took heat for changing his clothing hues. And in 2006, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) was ribbed for two hair styling sessions that cost about $3,000.
Then, there was Democrat John Edwards' $400 hair cuts in 2007 and Republican McCain's $520 black leather Ferragamo shoes this year.
A review of similar records for the campaign of Democrat Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee turned up no similar spending.
But all the spending by other candidates pales in comparison to the GOP outlay for the Alaska governor whose expensive, designer outfits have been the topic of fashion pages and magazines. [Politico, 10/21/08]
Edwards, Obama, Clinton and Biden were subjected to frequent scrutiny "about their hair, makeup, or clothes"
Edwards' haircuts. During the Democratic primary, the media devoted significant attention to John Edwards' "expensive" haircuts. For instance:
- Media followed Politico in reporting on haircuts. After Politico senior political writer Ben Smith, in an April 16, 2007, blog entry, "broke" the story that Edwards had spent $800 on two haircuts the media -- including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, the Associated Press, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News -- seized on it. In the months after the story first surfaced, media figures on NBC and MSNBC repeatedly brought up the haircuts.
- MSNBC and Fox offered more coverage of haircuts than GOP senator's call for "new strategy" in Iraq. On July 5, 2007, MSNBC and Fox News devoted significantly more time during their late-afternoon political and prime-time news programs to covering a July 5 Washington Post report on Edwards' haircuts than they did to covering then-Sen. Pete Domenici's (R-NM) July 5 press conference on the Iraq war, at which he called for "a new strategy that will move our troops out of combat operations." Between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET on July 5, MSNBC devoted approximately 15 minutes, 28 seconds to the Edwards story and only 1 minute, 20 seconds to Domenici. Further, Fox News devoted approximately 16 minutes, 25 seconds to the Edwards story during that same time period, and only 1 minute, 40 seconds to Domenici.
- Haircut became a presidential debate topic. Edwards' haircut was brought up by moderators in two 2007 Democratic presidential debates.
- Washington Post "Front-runners" packaged obsessed with haircut. In its "Front-runners" package on December 11, 2007, The Washington Post published four pieces that each highlighted the cost or "expensive" nature of Edwards' haircuts.
- Hannity linked to war on terror. On May 24, 2007, Fox News' Sean Hannity suggested that Edwards' "primping" is evidence that he does not "understand the nature of the battle in the war that's being waged against us."
Obama. During the campaign, Obama was the subject of critiques and attacks about his clothing:
- Purported lack of patriotic clothing. In one of the pieces comprising The Washington Post's December 14, 2007, "Front-runners" profile of Obama, Post fashion editor Robin Givhan wrote: "One of the most distinctive elements of Barack Obama's public style comes down to what he so often is not wearing: patriotism on his sleeve." Givhan continued: "Whether he is speaking at a campaign rally, attending a fish fry or debating his Democratic challengers, he comes across as the candidate least willing to drape himself in the usual symbols of nationalism and politics. No flag pin on the lapel. No hand on heart during the national anthem. And he generally shuns bold red ties." Givhan offered no explanation as to how a "bold red tie" is a "usual symbol[] of nationalism and politics," or how Obama's alleged avoidance of "bold red ties" constitutes a statement on patriotism.
- Obama dressed in Somali clothing. During the campaign, a photograph of Obama dressed in traditional Somali clothing was posted on the Drudge Report. On Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, Rush Limbaugh claimed Obama "look[ed] like Ayman Zawahiri" in the photo. Clear Channel radio host Dan Caplis likened the clothing to "the kind of garb you often see Osama bin Laden in" and to "Somali warlord garb."
- Debate question: "I want to know why you don't" wear a flag pin. During the April 16, 2008, presidential debate on ABC, a questioner asked via videotape: "Senator Obama, I have a question, and I want to know if you believe in the American flag. I am not questioning your patriotism, but all our servicemen, policemen and EMS wear the flag. I want to know why you don't." Before Obama answered, moderator and ABC anchor Charlie Gibson explained, "Just to add to that, I noticed you put one on yesterday. But -- you've talked about this before, but it comes up again and again when we talk to voters. And as you may know, it is all over the Internet." Obama was frequently attacked and critiqued over the flag pin and purported "patriotism problems."
Clinton. Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton was the frequent target of critiques about her clothing:
- Post discusses Clinton's neckline. In a July 20, 2007, article headlined "Hillary Clinton's Tentative Dip Into New Neckline Territory," Givhan wrote that "[t]here was cleavage on display Wednesday afternoon on C-SPAN2. It belonged to Sen. Hillary Clinton." Givhan further asserted that Clinton's look was "unnerving" and claimed: "The last time Clinton wore anything that was remotely sexy in a public setting surely must have been more than a decade ago." Several media outlets picked up the story, including MSNBC and CNN.
- Fox News links Clinton's "bright colors" to "likability problem." On the May 9, 2007, edition of Fox News' Special Report, chief political correspondent Carl Cameron claimed that Clinton adopted an uncharacteristic wardrobe and sunny expression in order to combat her "likability problem." Cameron said: "Wearing bright colors, smiling constantly, as if to deal with what polls say is a likability problem, she has surged 10 points since the Democratic debate in three new polls: USA Today/Gallup, CNN, and Rasmussen."
- Debate question: "diamonds or pearls?" On CNN's broadcast of the November 15, 2007, Democratic presidential primary debate in Las Vegas, one questioner said, "And my question is for Senator Clinton. This is a fun question for you. Do you prefer diamonds or pearls?" As The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder first reported, the questioner wrote on her MySpace page that she had originally prepared two questions, but CNN insisted she "ask the frilly question instead of a pre-approved query about the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository." On CNN, Time national political correspondent Karen Tumulty called it "the stupidest question of the night."
Biden. Biden's hair was frequently a topic among journalists. For instance:
- The Politico wrote on August 24, 2008, that Biden "has taken steps to pre-empt baldness. The most common hypothesis is that he received a hair transplant, where follicles from the bushier back of the head are grafted onto fading spots closer to the front of the dome." Politico also took a "quick Politico survey of stylists and hair transplant surgeons" to discuss Biden's hair.
- The National Review's Denis Boyles wrote on August 26, 2008, that the "selection of Joe Biden, the oldest functioning white liberal senator with a foreign policy background who is Catholic with hair-plugs in the Democratic party, must have come as quite a shock to many people."
- Conservative columnist Debbie Schlussel wrote on August 25, 2008, that "[t]here is no doubt he had hair transplants. The guy is wearing Barbie's hair."
- During the October 3, 2008, edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Ann Coulter said that "Biden is so out of his mind. He is Lyndon LaRouche with hair plugs at this point."
- An October 26, 2008, New York Post article about horror movies mentioned the "Real-life scare" of "Joe Biden's hair plugs."
- In an October 29, 2008, discussion (retrieved from Nexis) on NBC's Today about how "clothing has somehow become part of both campaigns," Newsweek contributing editor Julia Reed said that "nobody in my generation can look at Joe Biden and forget -- I mean, and not remember his hair plugs. I mean, you know, it's not just about the women, let's face it. I mean, John Kerry got Botox to like -- to sort of fix his craggy forehead. I mean, the men are just as obsessed for good reason because people really do care about how these people look. ... It's hypocritical to say we don't."

How To Borrow From A Pacific Life Non-Retirement Plan
Need to know how to borrow from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan? How you go about borrowing from this type of plan will depend upon the type of plan you have. Borrowing from a life insurance policy differs from borrowing from an annuity or mutual fund. The company prefers that a person contact them directly by telephone rather than communicating by email. To begin borrowing from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan, you should do the following:
- Determine how much you wish to borrow. Borrow only the lowest amount you can. Figuring out how much you need to borrow from your Pacific life non-retirement plan does not take a lot of time.
- Decide how or if you will pay the loan back. Most loans from a Pacific life non-retirement plan are paid each quarter. If you choose not to pay it back, the amount owed plus interest will be deducted from your plan at cash-in time.
- To borrow from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan, you must contact your agent by phone to set up an appointment. The agent will then ask you what amount you wish to borrow, and may even ask why you are borrowing the money. The agent will then look at your plan to see if there have been any late payments (in the case of a life insurance policy) or any activity on your account.
- Meet with the agent at her office. Borrowing from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan requires you to fill out paperwork before you will receive your money. The agent will be the one to conduct this part of the process.
- After completing the paperwork, you will receive the loan. At the beginning of the quarter (January, April, July and October) you will receive a "Loan Payment Due" notice. When borrowing from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan, the amount on each notice will differ according to the interest rate and amount of loan left to pay.
The interest that you will be charged is less than conventional loans. Borrowing from a Pacific Life non-retirement plan should be considered carefully. While the interest rate is low, the loan will affect your plan in the future.

* this as a discussion not an agrument to change a 501st policy*
Apparently since the release of the Hasbro Clone helmet the "talented ones" have been able to modify this toy to make it have the appearance it should have from the movies.
From this point forward I am speaking of a modified helmet that does look like a clone helmet in the movie and animated series.Not a unmodified helmet or atleast one with the front unchanged.
I have read with in the body of a couple of threads that this helmet would not be approved by the 501st as part of a Clone outfit.Why is that?
I dont understand why it would not be approved.If the craftsmanship in modifing looks good then should it not accepted.Whta is the difference going this route compired to buying a "high dollar" kit and having to build it.
Are not most of the outfit pieces of the members of the 501st made from modifing something elses or what is come to be known as "scratch built" pieces?
There are one or two vendors whose craftsmanship of the clone helmet is to be less then good and most of the time thier products have to be "tweaked".
Is it the idea of this helmet being made from a $30 toy the issue of not accepting it for approval?
Maybe it is just the over all dimension of the helmet and not the fact that it is a modified toy.
It is a shame because there are some great looking modified helmets with "how to" instructions starting to come out on the "boards"
