Wow, sadly I know so many people like her... men AND women.

That was a great video. I'm sending it to several I know who will really enjoy it.
Reminds me of our animated training videos at work, only better animated...
Funny though!
Awesome. Definitely forwarding that video and the link as well to some like-minded individuals.

Southwestern Illinois College students dominated a state technical education competition held recently in Springfield, Ill.
Fifteen SWIC competitors won medals at the recent SkillsUSA competition for students from across Illinois, held April 13.
SkillsUSA is a national technical education organization that partners educators, employers and students to teach greater skills to Americans, according to its website.
Contestants compete at the local, state and national level. The first-place winners in this competition will go on to compete at the national competition held in Kansas City this June.
"I was overjoyed," Coffin said of taking home the honor of being the best PMT competitor ever. "I think this program is really worth it. It is worth every penny. I've learned so much."
In order to win, Coffin had to create machine parts using a variety of equipment found in a machine shop. He was then judged based upon the quality of the work and the time it took him to complete it.
He plans to graduate in spring 2014.
"If someone is interested in this trade, I highly recommend this program," he said.
Campbell said he agreed his education helped him win his medal.
"It feels really good," he said. "It's only my second time competing."

Italy's economic crisis leaving sewers unclean and disinfected, poor garbage collection, and above average temperatures trigger massive cockroach hatch.
Naples's cockroach invasion started in early July with a massive hatch in the city's sewers, which hadn't been cleaned and disinfected in over a year because of maintenance budget cuts triggered by Italy's economic crisis. (photo: Ken Lucas/Visuals Unlimited/Getty Images)
Giant, Red Roaches Invade Naples, Italy
13 July 12
Long plagued by poor garbage collection, the city of Naples is crawling with these creepy critters. And health workers fear they could eventually carry disease.
f the thought of giant, red cockroaches makes your skin crawl, you might want to stop reading now. You also might want to avoid Naples, Italy for the time being since the city is literally crawling with millions of these creepy insects.
The invasion started in early July with a massive hatch in the city's sewers, which hadn't been cleaned or disinfected in over a year because of budget cuts triggered by Italy's economic crisis. To make matters worse, changes to the city's garbage collection system, which functioned poorly even during the best of times thanks to infiltration by organized-crime syndicates, require residents and restaurants to put out their garbage the night before early morning collectors pick it up, leaving festering food on the curbside by the sewer drains. Add the above-average temperatures and high humidity and you've got a cockroach paradise.
Now city workers are spraying sewers, stores and restaurants several times a day to try to stop the critters from multiplying. When the poison kills them, their dry shells litter the sidewalks. Street sweepers are working extra shifts to remove the crunchy carcasses. Health workers fear the insects could eventually carry hepatitis A or typhoid fever if they aren't able to contain the invasion. Cockroaches are also known asthma triggers and city authorities have warned asthma sufferers to stay away from the most affected parts of the city.
Despite these efforts, experts say it is challenging to eliminate the pests during the hot summer because the humid conditions provide the perfect environment to lay eggs. "To try to kill them during this season is almost impossible," says Maria Triassi of Naples' University Federico II. "The problem is only solved with proper maintenance of the sewer drains all year and destroying the eggs laid in September, not the way they are doing it now."
Others fear that the panicky way the disinfestation is being carried out is an equally disturbing threat to the environment; workers are spraying huge amounts of potent pesticides on plants and in and around stores where food is sold. And experts say that, over time, the roaches can actually grow immune to the poison.
The amber-colored critters, which fly as well as crawl, can grow to be more three inches long, and they're particularly active at night, though it is common to see them scampering over the Neapolitan cobblestones during the day. The roaches in Naples have terrorized diners at outdoor tables and have become so accustomed to people that they scurry over tourists' sandal-clad feet.
Authorities say these hearty bugs likely arrived in the port city on a ferry from the Aeolian islands four or five years ago and killed off the smaller, more-vulnerable Neapolitan roaches, which have long roamed the city. The population of the giant flying bugs has been quietly multiplying in the sewers ever since. Female cockroaches lay eight or more egg cases, which each carry around 40 baby roaches. The gestation period is around three weeks, which means the disinfestations must be carried out daily to kill off the new bugs as they hatch.
Naples mayor Luigi de Magistris appears to be downplaying the problem out of fear that it will hurt tourism. "There is too much alarm over this," he said at a televised, emergency meeting to combat the bugs on Monday. "If you read the news you would think the city of Naples is crawling with cockroaches."
Maybe the mayor hasn't been out on the streets lately. As Diana Pezza Borrelli of Italy's Green Party put it: "There are so many cockroaches that when you walk these streets it's like stepping on a crunchy layer of disgusting cookies."

Take pride in the survivor techniques and learn from them. Learn to eat garbage and hide. Only come out at night. As angelfish says, welcome to the future.
Oh, and guess who controls many landfills in the U.S. Yep. The mafia.
If only it were real!
Actually, I knew a kid in the sixth grade in Miami, who, to gross us all out, grabbed a giant cockroach and ate it. Want to bet he made it to congress?
But I will try to control my urges in the future, but when I dream mostly I have no control over the content... much of this comes out in dreams! or wishful thinking?
I anyone has roaches - this is the thing to use.
Maybe if the tourists stop visiting the Vatican gift shop they'll kick in some bucks to help with the sanitation problems.
Read Gomorrah by Roberto Saviano to get further insight into the local culture and players in Naples.

Try Epsom salts. It is every bit as chrystaline and very cheep. It only costs about a buck for a quart. And, what you don't use, you can toss it in your bathtub for a wonderful soak.

This was one of the absolutely most fun couples ever-and their bridal party kept me and my awesome second photographer (Kristi Carraro Pope) in stitches laughing during our entire portrait escapade throughout Charlotte after the wedding! Their reception was held at CenterStage NoDa, which I love–such a cool venue!

Manufacturers, What's Your Preference?
August 19, 2014
As you've read from some of my writings, I've predicted specific challenges ahead for the future of the replacement industry – even in this month's From the Field column. I've done this in an effort to bring awareness to the industry, not alarm it. I'm simply suggesting that we prepare.
As part of my conclusion in this latest article, I suggest we have to keep a careful balance between our new construction and replacement market. We rely on both markets, but each requires different, yet specific, attention.
This prompted me to wonder if window manufacturers have a preference for selling products to be used in new construction, or for replacement. My kneejerk thought would be, "What does it matter? A window sold is a window sold." But I'm sure that different efforts are required for each. And for that matter, different benefits also result from each. But I would like to hear from the real sources, which brings me to this week's survey.
Which, as a fenestration manufacturer, do you prefer – selling products for new construction or replacement? After you vote, please also comment as to why.
Survey Results for 08/20/2014 :

I then adjusted the little secondary screw under the carb (small inset screw). I turned it 1 full turn as a test and reinstalled the carb
Car starts easily, seems to have no kickback, but unless I dive out from the drivers seat to give some throttle shes gonna stall. Anything under 2000rpm seems to idle like total crap and she'll stall at whatever idle speed its set down to. I estimate its at 500rpm.
I did not yet increase my timing at idle which is 18'
If I increase the secondary openings (I can move the plates manually from the side of the carb) I can raise my idle rpm so she wont stall. This is the same as turning the screw under the carb without actually doing so. If I adjust the idle screw it also does the same BUT that defeats the purpose here since I want to keep my plate where they are.
So, should I increase the secondary openings MORE (which is sucking in more gas to do so) until I get a good idle or should I raise my idle timing more? Or both?
Your primary throttle blades are miss adjusted from what I can see. If the picture is correct, with the throttle blades in the closed position the transfer slot is exposed to the bottom of the blade. If this is so, the throttle stop needs to be adjusted till the transfer slot is above the top of the throttle blade.
I don't recall how much cam your using, if this has a high performance cam with a real low idle vacuum, it may be necessary to either adjust the secondary blade stop to admit more air, or the primary blades drilled to admit more idle air.
As it looks to me now, with the transfer slots exposed to idle vacuum, you're getting fuel from both circuits which will cause a rich and largely uncontrollable idle mixture along with a flat spot when the throttle is tipped in.

I will do this for about 3 months or so to just switch it up. I feel like my "crossfit" style workouts aren't hitting my muscles hard enough for them to grow and I kind of want to see what I am capable of with a high cal diet and split workout.
I'm also doing a 4 straight day squat routine glight made up.
That will be Mon, tues, wed, thurs. Not necesassrily on the days my regular workouts will be. Like today, I'm squatting 50 reps and that's it.
Every day is 50 reps and starts light and gets progressively heavier.
As an example:
This week was 50 reps at 80lbs, then 50 at 115lbs, today is 50 at 140lbs with at least 20 straight, then I think tomorrow is 165 or so.
So just as a trial and error thing I'm going to do only that for legs and do the squats before my split lifts. I intend on repeating my "3 day split" every 5 or 6 days or so. So if I did Chest/Shoulders on Tuesday I will try for them on Saturday or Sunday. The goal for that is to do everything about 3 times in 2 weeks.
So far after two days of the split I feel like my muscles have been hit a lot harder and it feels good. Worst case scenario I waste a few months and learn what doesn't work for me. Best case scenario is I gain some muscle. I'm interested to see what happens.
It'll be interesting to see how this works out for you.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX opens higher as energy shares gain with oil price
TORONTO, Aug 8 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index opened higher on Friday as a U.S. decision to conduct air strikes in Iraq helped push up oil prices and shares of energy companies. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 20.66 points, or 0.14 percent, at 15,139.09 shortly after the open. (Reporting by John Tilak; Editing by James Dalgleish)

Rethinking The Syringe: Interview With SafePoint's Marc Koska
Designer and non-profit founder fights unsafe injections by redesigning the syringe.
SafePoint's founder Marc Koska has been searching for a solution to the problem that effects Asia and Africa, killing scores of people on a daily basis. The statistics are staggering. According to SafePoint's site, people are unaware of how deadly re-purposing syringes is for patients. Kids can be injected by the same syringe already used 30-100 times. On a yearly basis, this leads to 230,000 HIV infections, 21 million Hepatitis infections, and 1.3 million deaths.
PSFK caught up with Marc to discuss his organization and recent push for legislative change in developing nations:
What are you working on right now?
I am concentrating on campaigning for legislative change in Pakistan and Tanzania through SafePoint. This will set the rules for the coming years, but at the same time providing evidence of reuse through undercover footage and public information films which we donate to the Government for distribution.
How did SafePoint come to fruition?
It came about because the product was not enough by itself to guarantee that the public got safe injections. The developing world public was in need of information as well so they could demand safe injections as well as being offered safe. Do you see what I mean – we had to create a sandwich!
Give us some insight into your creative process and how you designed a safer needle.
Always from the brief that it a) had to cost the same, b) had to be able to be made on existing machinery and c) be used in the same way.
What trend makes you optimistic about the future?
Well, I am cautious about the increase in Social Entrepreneurship as an activity and a buzz word, not because it isn't a great trend, but because it isn't fully understood I believe. Not only is the definition imprecise to me but also there is a huge range of activities being shoe horned into the subject. Having said that, at least it exists and it is growing massively. When I started we didn't even have the phrase!
Do you feel that transparency is on the rise?
I don't actually, but I am really encouraged that it is creeping into my field and others and hope it does take hold. After the banking crisis we do not see anymore openness in that sector, and I think the same with International AID and not for profits. But there are examples such as KIVA, where the connection between the lender and the borrower comes with a photograph. The world needs a massive change on this subject, but not sure we will see it sometime soon. I would like to make more and more of an example in my sector with transparency, and am working on highlighting this right now. So stay tuned!
Where do you go to find inspiration?
My inspiration comes from kids, especially my own, and any product or process that focuses on quality rather than quantity. I love to travel, and finding well made local products is a passion of mine. So much stuff around the world is the same, and localization has diminished, but finding something that is hand produced beautifully with care, is special. Wish there was more!
Thanks Marc!

Third times a charm I tell ya! The SHTF Gear holster I received yesterday for my Glock 27 will definitely be the last one I buy for this gun. It is the third holster that I have purchased for my G27, and it is awesome! I have nothing against hybrid holsters, but I didn't think I would ever get one. I was wrong. This holster is damn comfortable and keeps my gun nice and secure.
It took 6 days to get the holster after I ordered it which is quick if you ask me! The metal clips are very strong and keep the holster from shifting. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about having the leather backing against my skin, but it is hardly noticeable. Highly recommended! :smile:
I attached a few pictures for your viewing pleasure.

The Latest on the Missing Malaysian Airliner
Malaysia's government has sent diplomatic cables to all countries in the search area for a jetliner missing now for more than a week. The search has already involved 26 countries. Meanwhile, officials now say the final voice transmission from the cockpit of the missing Malaysian plane may have occurred before any of its communications systems were disabled.
The search for the plane has gotten more difficult with the realization that it might have flown off-course for hours. CBS News correspondent Seth Doane has more from Kuala Lumpur:
'The search is focusing on two corridors - giant archs - that extend all the way from - in the northern arch - Northern Thailand up through Western China into Kazakhstan and in the south, down from Malaysia through Indonesia and well into the very deep Southern Indian Ocean.'

Most new lenses include shades. So why does Ben Long confess to rarely using them—indeed, to having a "completely irrational fear" of the things? That's the subject of this week's installment of The Practicing Photographer.

Ramey Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay 2008
Chardonnay from Carneros, California
Winemaker's Notes
Located in gently rolling terrain north of Carneros Highway, the soils are quite heavy clay. Vine selection is old Wente, Robert Young and Long Vineyards – each a Wente selection themselves – ranging in age from 10 to 29 years old. The Wente is marked by very small grape clusters, with small berries, and the so-called "hen-and-chick" -- large and small berries within the same cluster. The Wente produces a classic, Burgundian-style wine without the tropical fruit tones of some California Chardonnays. The Long Vineyards selection adds a floral note, and the Hyde Vineyard wines often seem charming and feminine. High natural acidity plays a prominent role.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Bright gold. Energetic aromas of green apple, jasmine, minerals and lemon zest. Dry and nervy, with brisk acidity and a saline nuance giving energy and lift to its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Vibrant and impressively pure chardonnay, finishing spicy, long and dry, with an intriguing floral quality."
The Wine Advocate - "Normally I see more stylistic differences between the Hudson and Hyde Chardonnays, but in 2008, they are more similar than usual. The 2008 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard reveals a fragrant bouquet of caramelized citrus, tropical fruits and subtle smoke as well as medium to full-bodied flavors, good acidity and a crisp mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 4-6 years."
Connoisseurs' Guide - "Medium-light golden yellow color; attractive, forward, intense, pear and baked apple aroma with hints of citrus, butterscotch, and tropical fruit; full body; forward, rich, crisp, citrusy, green apple flavors with good depth and showing some complexity; well balanced and firmly structured; lingering aftertaste. Fruit and oak are well proportioned and nicely balanced. Very highly recommended. "

Ramey Winery
Following winemaking posts at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill and Matanzas Creek, David Ramey and his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996 - a Chardonnay from the Hyde Vineyard. Now situated in downtown Healdsburg, Ramey Wine Cellars draws on exceptional vineyards in both Napa and Sonoma to fashion classically-styled Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay using traditional old world techniques.

About CarnerosView a map of Carneros wineries
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area. The winds from the San Pablo bay create a cool weather pattern ideal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Notable FactsBoth Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Carneros are delicate, yet complex, with firm structure and acidity. And while the pair are the most popular varieties of the region, some winemakers have branched out, particularly with Syrah. The cool climate Syrah of Carneros is well structured and stylistically similar to Syrah from the Northern Rhone, though often fuller-bodied.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Building a better community every day!
How do people feel about access to pornography in public libraries? We're getting a new library in Tukwila, should we ask King County to put filters on the internet or eliminate access to the internet altogether?
Views: 187
I am glad that this has been brought up. I am not clear how to think about this. I know that I want computers and internet access at the library. I don't like censorship. I am hoping that someone has some creative thoughts on the subject.......
I understand the issue with censorship, we live in a free society and that censoring one thing can lead to censoring other things. But libraries are public places and we do retrict certain things in public places. Maybe the easiest solution is to require the library to provide a separate place where people over the age of 18 can use computers without filters, and another place where computers have filters.
I work in a library and there is no way libraries in the 21st century can "eliminate access to the Internet" because then...how would the community have equal access to information like every other public library in the city, state, and country?
There are usually separate areas these days for children's computers. Visit the new Fife branch of the Pierce County Library system to see how they setup their newest branch. Even the Southcenter branch has a cute little area for kids with low tables and headphones.
Censorship is never the answer. Of course, I would say that. Ha.
Hi Gerie, thanks for your comments but that statement, "censorship is never the answer" feels so simplistic and dismissive. Our society does censor certain material from minors to protect them and has made some material just plain illegal to view. . . so sometimes censorship is the answer. Why the libraries don't believe they have a legal obligation to protect minors is beyond me. Do you think it is reasonable to put parental type controls on computers in a children's section and have restricted access to computers without filters in the adult section?
One of the things that I consider when thinking about public policy..ok, What is the problem that needs to be solved? Currently, I am not aware of any local evidence..either anecdotal or actual..of a problem..or more importantly..a pattern of a problem. A one time event is not the basis for a change of policy in most cases. It seems like a reasonable thing to run by KCLS to see if they have any thoughts about it. Have they had a pattern of problems of this type in other communities and, if so, how did they deal with it? Jenna, I wonder if you have contacted KCLS about this or do you agree that we don't really seem to have a problem in Tukwila?
From what I read on-line of the recent Lake City event and all the comments that followed, I would say there is a problem and a pattern of parents taking their children to public libraries and witnessing adults as well as underage people viewing pornography. Whether it has happened in Tukwila, I don't know but I can't imagine it hasn't. Typically when I think of public policy, I think the same thing about the "problem" but then I think who are the stakeholders, what are their interests and how can we compromise to find a solution everyone can live with and that won't create other issues to try to fix later on. In this case Chuck, I don't think we need to find a pattern to determine that children should not view pornography at the library, even if it is over the shoulder twenty feet away. I'm sure there is a solution here that everyone can live with. I haven't talked to KCLS yet but I will and then I'll ask my city representatives to get involved. What about you, are you interested or have other ideas?
The King County Library System (KCLS) has an Internet Filtering Policy. It complies with CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) and does provide filtering on KCLS computers. There are two levels of filtering - one for general computers and a more restrictive one for computers in the children's area. As I read the policy, even the least restrictive would screen for adult material/pornography, so I doubt the need to request further filtering. I have never heard of any problems. The full policy can be found at http://www.kcls.org/usingthelibrary/computers_internet/Internet%20F... . Other KCLS policies can be accessed at http://www.kcls.org//usingthelibrary/policies/. If you have further questions about KCLS, please attend the next meeting of the Tukwila Library Advisory Board - Wednesday, Feb. 15th at Foster Library. Friends of the Library starts at 7:00 with the TLAB meeting shortly thereafter. There is a time for citizens comments and we would love to have you join us. Both the managing librarian, Darth Nielsen and his supervisor, John Sheller will be there if you have questions about the Internet policy (or others).
Hi Jenna, sorry if I sounded dismissive with that "never the answer" comment but it's hard to have a real conversation like this in writing on a blog. It's easier to explain the library position on censorship in person.
As Marie suggests, it would be best if you and anyone else who is interested in knowing more about this topic would either attend the library advisory board meeting or ask a librarian directly in your local branch.
And my answer to your last question "Do you think it is reasonable to put parental type controls on computers in a children's section and have restricted access to computers without filters in the adult section?" is yes, absolutely. That is more than reasonable.
This topic comes up all the time in libraries. Filters are used most public and K-12 school libraries.
Thank you Gerie and Maria,
I think you have answered my question about the Library's position. . . in case my email sounds like I'm being sarcastic, I'm not! I appreciate you taking the time to provide more information about how the internet is managed for people under 18. I'd love to join a meeting but I'll be out of town until after the 22nd. When is the next meeeting? Since I can't attend, what I'm most concerned about is how the design of the new Tukwila library will address this issue. Do you know where they are in regards to the design process?
The next meeting of TLAB(Tukwila Library Advisory Board) will be March 21st at 7:00 - Foster Library. Friends of the Library meet first but are generally done in 10-15 minutes. Please come.
As for the new library, there will be at least one public meeting for input soon. As soon as I have the details, I will post it on Tukwila Talk.

My N/S front brake disc is warped, so it needs changing. They were changed 12K ago by BM before i bought the car.
However, i have trawled through the net, and RealOEM, and they all list my car as having 'Solid' front discs, yet the ones curently on are vented.
What should my car have??? I dont want to spend £50-60 on a set, and then find they are wrong
The list for vented discs starts with the 320i...and obviously vented discs require a bigger caliper? Does this mean mines had a caliper change at some point, or is there another explanation, such as they made a few with vented fronts???
Im realy confused now..Nothign seems to be easy when it comes to getting parts for this car

When his right-front tire went flying off early
in the Ford 400, the final race of the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series season, Kurt Busch, it seemed, was destined to spend his offseason cursing the freakish bad
luck that had cost him a shot at the series championship.
Skittering around on a busted wheel rim, Busch's Ford nearly slammed into a concrete retaining wall. But the moment challenger Jeff Gordon realized it was the break he'd been waiting for, NASCAR officials flew the caution flag, bringing the race to a crawl while track workers chased down the errant tire. The caution enabled Busch to duck into the pits for a fresh tire and scoot back onto the track without losing a lap. And that wild swing of fortune was the essence of why he roared on to win the 2004 championships at Homestead-Miami Speedway yesterday.
Busch was hardly dazzling in claiming stock-car racing's biggest prize with a fifth-place finish. But he and his team, led by veteran crew chief Jimmy Fennig, minimized their bad luck and delivered a steady performance to clinch NASCAR's first championship contested under a new points system designed to deliver drama down the stretch.
"It was just an unbelievable day — to be able to persevere such as we did again," Busch said in victory lane.
Yesterday's race delivered all the drama NASCAR had hoped, with the outcome of both the 400-miler and the season's title coming down to a two-lap scramble in racing's version of overtime after race leader Ryan Newman slammed the wall with three laps to go. Greg Biffle of Vancouver, Wash., won the race with a well-placed shove around Tony Stewart.
Kasey Kahne finished 38th, knocked out of the race in a one-car crash on Lap 158. Kahne also won the "Rookie of The Year" Honors.
Closing frantically behind Biffle were Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Gordon, whose second- and third-place finishes left them second and third, respectively, in the championship standings. Johnson missed the title by eight points, finishing with 6,498 to Busch's 6,506. Gordon, seeking his fifth NASCAR championship, finished 16 points back.
The two had the good will of most every NASCAR team riding with them as a result of the October plane crash that killed 10 members of their Concord, N.C.-based race team — including the son, brother and two nieces of team owner Rick Hendrick. Hendrick returned to the track for the first time Saturday to support his drivers' bid for the title and was on the radio with each during the race
"It put a whole different meaning on the championship for us," Gordon said. "We knew how much it would mean to stand up on that stage (at the awards banquet) in New York and honor those guys as champions, Jimmie or myself, whichever one could get it done." Said Johnson: "We did everything we could possibly. When you go to bed at night knowing that, you sleep a lot easier."

Greek alternative fixed line and broadband operator ForthNets full year 2007 net losses widened to EUR32.5 million (USD60.0 million) from EUR16.7 million in 2006, on increased costs of local loop unbundling (LLU) and subscriber acquisition. Annual revenues grew 21.7% year-on-year to EUR119 million, as broadband subscribers doubled in twelve months to reach approximately 200,000 at the end of December (and subsequently reached 210,000 at the end of February 2008). LBITDA widened from EUR5 million in 2006 to EUR20 million last year, but the company expects to start posting gains in the second half of 2008 on improved operating performance and a new LLU subscriber acquisition cost accounting method. ForthNets CAPEX reached EUR64.3 million in 2007, up from EUR36 million the previous year. As of February 2008 it claimed to be Greeces market leader for LLU customers with a 35% market share.

IMHO- Do not take your firearm to Gander Mountain for expert gunsmithing. If you would like amatuer gunsmithing, by all means indulge yourself.
I dropped off a Para-Ordnance P14 single action for an ambi-safety. Brand new. I regretted it from the second I relinquished control of the weapon. I was on my way to work and could not take it with me, and being it was a major company I thought my first impression might be wrong. It wasn't.
In the end there were deep gouges on the beavertail and on top of the slide.
My biggest problem was they attempted to return the weapon to me with damage. I produced a reciept showing the firearm was brand new when they got it from me. The "gunsmith" that worked on my pistol was either totally incompetent or lacked the integrity to report the damage to the weapon. Either way they get a never again for gunsmithing in my book.
Luckily after just 2 short months(ha,ha) my PX14R-MB was replaced with a new one last week.

NPR only requires a helmet if you break 12's. Gulfport requires them for everyone. I found out the hard way, and that is why they suck. Well, that and the fact that it is old and run down.
But NPR is cool. I really like the road course. Just so far away.
Now with more V8 powa!
NPR is aways away but it's worth it.
Any of you guys ever get to the midnight madness?
Nice to finally see some other Subies around La.
I'm in Baton Rouge .
Totally stock...yep uh huh :P
where the hell is belle rose? time to look at yahoo maps.
Now with more V8 powa!
what time are you leaving and what time do you anticipate coming back. I may try to ditch work that evening.
We will be leaving at about 5:30pm. If you wanted to go, pm me.
*edit* i have no idea what time we would be coming back, or how much it costs. i'm sure that we would leave there no later than 10pm and it's an hour and a half drive back (i guess) so should be back here before midnight

hey guys!
any of you know any good detailers in new orleans?
my car is very nasty, i cant even look at it it makesm e sad. scartches, swirls, stains. oh god it makes me sad
i hate you subaru paint
the only one that i would take my car to would be the one on David Drive. it's right behind laffeniere park (sp?) its between W.napoleon, and vets. my friend took his car there before he traded it in, and they made it look brand new. i mean they reconditioned the leather and everything. and even bumped the trade-in value of the car a little because it looked pristine.
its called Johnny's. go there and talk to a guy named Al. i don't know him personally, but just got the phone with my friend and he said to talk to him. really nice guy.
i live about a mile from that place. it looks like it is always packed.
Patrick, post the results from last night!
I wish that I could have gone.
Maybe next time.
Now with more V8 powa!
the results from last night = i suck as a driver =P
First time out, i ran a 15.3. i bogged the launch at 2 grand, wasn't ready for the lights. Second time around i hit a 14 flat. i should be around a 13.7 according to Bo with my setup. (intake, catback, boost controller @ 16psi)
Jason needs a new clutch, his best run was a 13.40. He couldn't get anything decent. used to run 12.50's all day.
Joey and his SRT-4 ran a 14.2 on the first pass, then hit a 13.30.
Brad ran a 13.001 - was so pissed that he didn't hit the 12's hehe
Mike in the Tiberan (sp?) ran a 15.5 i believe and shut it down.
Chad D didn't come, and Bo didn't drive his car. So that's everything. It was a fun night overall, i can't wait to go back and get a little faster time slip.
I will post my timeslip when i get to work tonight.
I HAVE to get out there and run my car. who was in the other lane?
An all motor Maxima if you can believe it..... shocked the hell out of me.

I too am/was hesitant about the noise changes to my vehicle. It's a 4 cylinder econobox, so it shouldn't sound like a monster. I just installed the K&N Air intake kit (got it for like $240 or so on Auto anything by asking if they could honor the 15% off new members), and that included the recharge kit.
It's not too much of a difference in sound level, only when you get on it. It does have a weird rumble around 1800-2000 rpm (probably due to resonant frequency lining up). Cruising and if you stay out of the throttle you can't tell the difference.
It definitely pulls a bit harder, and this intake has been dyno'd to show ~10hp increase by K&N and some owners
have shown more than that.
As always, YMMV and it depends highly upon your specific engine.
The thread above has a bunch of different intakes, so you can see that the intake alone is definitely worth it if you want a few extra ponies.
I purchased but have yet to install my exhaust kit (will do so in the next few days). I've heard the magnaflow is the quietest of the exhausts, so that's what I went with. I'm hoping I don't have to add/swap out resonators, but I think it should be okay. I'll update if you'd like about sound level. I'm okay with it being grumbly and loud as long as it can be quiet when I need it to.

GAO was requested to review selected aspects of the Veterans Administration's (VA) dental program. The review showed that fewer veterans with service-connected dental conditions would be referred to private dentists and, as a result, substantial savings would be achieved if VA: (1) established priorities for providing dental care in accordance with the Veterans Health Care Amendments of 1979; (2) insured that care was provided only to veterans eligible for care; and (3) made better use of its dental personnel. The fee-basis was intended to be used only if a veteran was unable to obtain care from a VA facility because of geographical inaccessibility or because of the inability of the VA facility to provide the type of care required. However, VA uses the fee program primarily as a means of expanding its ability to provide routine dental services to inpatients with nonservice-connected dental conditions. By reducing the number of ineligible veterans provided dental services, VA clinics could increase their capacity to treat outpatients with service-connected dental conditions and further reduce fee-basis referrals. In a 1973 report, GAO stated that VA could reduce the number of fee-program referrals by increasing the productivity of VA dental clinics.

Abu Dhabi-based Insurance House is planning a small initial public offering (IPO) in February, banking sources said, the latest company to test investor demand after a drought of stock market listings.
The United Arab Emirates has not seen an IPO in about two years as the global economic downturn and Dubai's debt crisis dented investors' appetite.
Insurance House, a unit of Abu Dhabi-listed Finance House FH.AD, is planning to raise 66 million dirhams ($18 million) by listing on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), the sources said.

Actually, it goes much deeper than that. In a secular court, what sort of fair act is it to use the Bible as a instrument of preventing perjury? For those that don't believe, it has no meaning. For those that do, God tells us never to swear on anything in His name or any other oath.Here's something not yet discussed. Politicians. When they are sworn in-take an oath with a hand on the bible. What do they do? Break the oath. How much do politicians have faith when swearing on the bible? I don't hear anyone speak of this.
James 5:
12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
So actually a Christian should be able to refuse the oath as it would conflict with their religious beliefs. What it comes down to is that the oath is forcing the hand of a believer and is perjury if proven to either that lie. Therefore the use of the Bible as vow of honesty in the courts is hypocritical and unconstitutional to those that believe on The Holy Bible.

Is this what's in store?
June 12, 2030 started out like any other day in memory—and by then, memories were long. Since cancer had been cured fifteen years before, America's population was aging rapidly. That sounds like good news, but consider this: millions of baby boomers, with a big natural predator picked off, were sucking dry benefits and resources that were never meant to hold them into their eighties and beyond. Young people around the country simmered with resentment toward "the olds" and anger at the treadmill they could never get off of just to maintain their parents' entitlement programs.
But on that June 12th, everything changed: a massive earthquake devastated Los Angeles, and the government, always teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, was unable to respond.
The fallout from the earthquake sets in motion a sweeping novel of ideas that pits national hope for the future against assurances from the past and is peopled by a memorable cast of refugees and billionaires, presidents and revolutionaries, all struggling to find their way. In 2030, Albert Brooks' all-too-believable, dystopian imagining of where today's challenges could lead us tomorrow makes gripping and thought-provoking reading.
"With 2030 Mr. Brooks has made the nervy move of transposing his worrywart sensibility from film to book. Two things are immediately apparent about his debut novel: that its as purposeful as it is funny, and that Mr. Brooks has immersed himself deeply in its creation."--New York Times
"The novel is a revelation, painting a caustic, unsettling and only occasionally comic portrait of a country plumb down on its luck."--Los Angeles Times
"Albert Brooks is a keen and critical social observer...His first novel is an inspired work of social science fiction, thoughtful and ambitiously conceived, both serious and seriously funny."--Boston Globe
"Comedian and filmmaker Brooks welcomes the reader to the year 2030 in his smart and surprisingly serious debut....Brooks's mordant vision encompasses the future of politics, medicine, entertainment, and daily living, resulting in a novel as entertaining as it is thought provoking, like something from the imagination of a borscht belt H.G. Wells."--Publishers Weekly
"An intriguing vision of Americas future."--Library Journal
"Required reading!"--New York Post
"As a comedian and filmmaker, the very gifted Albert Brooks has specialized for more than 30 years in cooking up quandaries with no ready solution except humiliation. His often ingenious first novel is no exception."--New York Times Book Review
"Brooks's vision of the future is credible and compelling."--Booklist
Albert Brooks is a writer, actor, and director. He has written and directed several classic American comedies that are considered prescient and incisive commentaries on contemporary life, including Lost In America, Modern Romance and Defending Your Life. Brooks has also acted in over twenty motion pictures for other directors, including Martin Scorseses Taxi Driver, Steven Soderberghs Out of Sight, Pixars Finding Nemo, and James L. Brooks Broadcast News, for which he received an Academy Award nomination.

text: Came home from work tonight and there was a large pile of cockatiel seed on the floor. No idea why, doesn't look like Dixie got the container, almost seems like when hubby fed the bird he may have spilled a whole lot, and then just left it cause he feeds the bird on his way out the door most times and might have been running late Anyhow, I'm concerned that Dixie may have eaten more than what might be good for her! She's not bloated, and seems perfectly fine and normal, but still wondering if I should be way concerned or just watch her close the next few days, and if there might be something in there that may be toxic to her. I know she has in the past eaten some stray seeds with no ill effects, but I have no clue how much she may have ingested, she's never appeared to be a huge fan of bird seed, so I don't really think she ate a lot, but the oppurtunity was certainly there, and she is such a little thing

The 2015 June Fox Lecturer, Dan Losen (Lesley '87), found in his research that a growing number of schools are exploring less punitive ways to manage student behavior after studies showed that harsh policies disproportionately affect African American and Latino students.
During his first month as a grade-school teacher, Dan Losen sent a dozen kids to the principal's office to be disciplined. The principal finally took him aside and said, "Dan, you're losing your authority with these kids." Losen knew she was right. Fortunately his school required training in classroom management. By his last year of teaching, he says, "It never occurred to me to send kids to the principal's office."Losen received training and support, but not every teacher is so fortunate. In urban school districts across the country, overwhelmed teachers are sending more students to the principal's office, and more principals are punishing students—often for minor infractions—with out-of-school suspensions. More than 2 million middle and high school students were suspended during the 2009-2010 school year. That's 1 out of every 9 students.
Suspension was once viewed as a policy of last resort—a tool to remove violent students from school. All that changed in the 1990s with zero-tolerance discipline policies, which often forced principals to exclude students for lesser offenses including dress-code violations, cell phone use, and swearing.
"Suspending students isn't a solution," says Losen, who holds an M.Ed. from Lesley University and now directs the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at the University of California at Los Angeles. "If suspension worked, we'd see improvements in academic achievement or higher graduation rates, but we're not seeing that."
Instead, Losen's research shows an unintended consequence: higher suspension rates for students of color and those with disabilities. "These students are among the most vulnerable, the most at risk for dropping out and getting into trouble with the law," he says. "And when you don't finish school, your life opportunities are severely diminished."
Losen and others argue that the problem isn't the students—who, along with their families, face the daily pressures of poverty, crime, discrimination, unemployment, and lack of health care. The problem is the adults—poorly prepared classroom teachers and school officials adhering to zero-tolerance policies. [continued below]
"Losen's work at the Civil Rights Project at UCLA serves as a stark reminder of the systematic impact of bias toward our youngest and most vulnerable children. The sheer numbers of children of color who are subject to excessive discipline and ultimately funneled into the school to prison pipeline is in itself a form of state-sanctioned neglect. Armed with proper data, some districts have acted and made a difference. My hope is all who attend [the 2015 June Fox] lecture will join in extending that difference." Jonathon Gillette, Dean, Lesley Graduate School of Education

Armed with proper data, some districts have acted and made a difference. My hope is all who attend [the 2015 June Fox] lecture will join in extending that difference."
Jonathon Gillette, Dean, Lesley Graduate School of Education
kids misbehave, it's a sign they're not engaged, that they're
struggling. But these students are written off as incapable of
learning, or 'bad,'" Losen says. Urban schools often don't have the
resources, or have not made it a priority, to get to the bottom of why
kids aren't learning, he says. "The easiest path is suspension, so
schools don't have to provide services."
Losen uses the power of data—including
rates of suspension, dropout, graduation, arrest, and other
indicators—to raise awareness of the consequences of harsh disciplinary
measures. To make the data available to more school districts, the
Center for Civil Rights Remedies launched a new web tool
that sorts U.S. Department of Education data on suspension by race,
ethnicity, gender, English learner, and disability status across
nation's districts.
Policymakers are starting to pay
attention. Michael Thompson, director of the Council of State
Governments Justice Center, was quoted in a news report
as saying, "Everybody recognizes that if we want to find ways to close
the achievement gap, we really need to look at the huge number of kids
being removed from school campuses who are not receiving any classroom
Slowly, through Losen's work and that of
other reformers, school districts are beginning to modify or drop
punitive policies and are considering increased behavioral support for
students and training for teachers. These districts include Los
Angeles, Baltimore, Chicago, and Denver. Schools that have ended
zero-tolerance policies have already seen significant drops in
More districts are exploring alternative
practices for disciplining students. Among the promising alternatives
is "restorative justice," which seeks to understand the underlying
factors causing the misbehavior. Restorative justice provides a safe
space for those in the school community to have a say in resolving the
conflict and determining the appropriate consequences. Instead of being
suspended, a student might be asked to write an apology or perform
community service or attend an intervention program.
While suspension often results in a
negative impact to the community—unsupervised students getting into
trouble and being arrested—restorative justice strengthens community.
"It aims to make the community whole," Losen says. "It calls on the
community to understand and embrace the person, instead of shunning
him. It says: 'We care about you, but we're also holding you
Losen points out that discipline starts
in the classroom. From his experience as a teacher, "If things aren't
going well, it's vital to look at what you're doing that might be
contributing to the situation," he says. His training helped identify
what he could do to manage his classroom more effectively. "I learned
