Mass Effect's movie adaptation could be in some serious trouble.
I found some interesting news after browsing online about the Mass Effect movie. Legendary Pictures, the studio in charge of the game's big screen adaptation, has decided to throw in a wild card.
Mark Protosevich, the writer of I Am Legend, was originally in charge of adapting Mass Effect's story into script format. As of late, however, Legendary has tossed him out and left the fate of the movie to the novice hands of an unpublished screenwriter.
His name is Morgan Davis Foehl, and apparently, the guy's only major contribution to the movie industry is working as the assistant editor of this movie. Currently, he's working on a comic-book-to-movie adaptation, and his style is said to have a strong espionage influence.
I honestly don't think this was the right move for Legendary. Since Hollywood adaptations of games don't always go so well, it's the safer bet to stick with more professional talent when it comes to things like directing and screenwriting. I'm not against the idea of change, don't get me wrong. But giving a piece of pen and paper to someone with almost no proffessional experience and telling him to adapt a cherished, bestselling RPG into a Hollywood movie seems like a recipe for disaster. Call me crazy.
Maybe I'm wrong, though. Maybe this Foehl guy will bring Mass Effect to the true movie glory it deserves. Maybe he'll blow the audience away with some intense writing skills. What do you guys think? Has Legendary thrown any hopes of a successful Mass Effect movie out the window, or will their decision to give the underdog a chance pay off?

In Reply to: Yamaha MC705 stylus replacement posted by jjh92 on June 22, 2007 at 11:47:53:
This isn't really a Yamaha cart, it is made by Audio Technica, who made a few different series of MC cartridges with replacable styli in the early to mid 80's, I believe. MC-705 was the OEM cartridge on the PX-3 linear tracker, and it is actually quite a nice cartridge.
If you remove the stylus, the structure looks very much like an Audio Technica MM stylus, but instead of two tiny magnets at the cartridge end of the cantilever, there are two tiny coils.
The ATN3200, 3100, and similar styli from Audio Technica replace the styli in the MC-705. If you look at Ed's Cartridge Database, there is an entry for the MC-705 that details this.

My America
By Kenneth Brown
On January 21st we recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is also the day the media talks about something that will never happen in my lifetime and that something is racial harmony. How much has really changed after MLK gave his life for change?
There are so-called activist/pastors who are always talking about what America is doing to people of color and in doing so they are preaching separation on the sly. What those so-called black leaders should spend more time on, is getting people of color to the polls. That's how America corrects itself, not with sermons, sit-ins or marches. A perfect example is the Civil Rights Bill. Why do I need a Civil Rights Bill? As an American, I should be covered by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The issues that result from discrimination and racism have more to do with what America is doing to itself than what it is doing to people of color. Consider how much further and better off America would be if the knowledge, energy, genius and opportunity of black people, gay people and women were allowed to flower uninterrupted. Even though America is a world leader, it is not using all its resources. The fact that my constitutional rights are being violated and overlooked on a daily basis says more about America then it does about me and it makes America look like a fraud.
Black people could form a serious voting block that would cause any candidate for Mayor to jump through burning hoops for their votes. It's in the Mayor's office where the first real steps toward equality can be made. Imagine the impact it would have on the black unemployment, if black owned businesses got an equal shot at city contracts, not to mention the opportunities for more blacks to start their own businesses. I've seen construction sites in the black communities of Boston and Atlanta, with more than 10 workers and not one of those workers was a person of color. At least as I was driving or walking pass. I've heard black people say the politicians don't care about us and I believe most of them don't. The reason I believe they don't care is we don't put them in office. So, we continue to do the one thing we seem to be able to do collectively and that's cry the blues.
People of my race have been called Colored, Negro, Black, Afro-Americans and African-American, but what are these names supposed to mean or represent? I can understand what it means to be an Irish-American, Cuban-American or Asian American because these people can trace their roots back to Ireland, Cuba and Asia. It seems to me the people that were here before America became America are the real Americans. Did John Adams, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson refer to themselves as English Americans? When I look in the mirror I see an American of African decent, but does that make me an African American? If I had family in Africa or knew where I came from in Africa I would feel different. However my family tree begins in South Carolina. I am not separating myself from America, even with all its faults. So, just call me an American who happens to be black.
Maybe I'm out of touch, but there are times when I am totally confused by the direction and/or decisions made by some black college students. A perfect example of my confusion was clearly illustrated by the black football players at the University of Mississippi. The nickname for the University of Mississippi was "The Rebels", their mascot was a confederate soldier and the fans wave confederate flags at their football games. Why would a black youth play for a school that is still supporting a culture that would put them back in slavery if they could get away with it?
After all, the Rebels and the Confederates gave their lives in an attempt to keep slavery alive. Would a Jewish youth attend a school whose nickname was "Nazis? Whose mascot was an SS/Gestapo officer and its fans waved swastikas? I doubt it. Although I like college sports, the University of Mississippi is one school I won't watch. Even though the school is now changing its name that won't change its culture.
On the cover of the November 29th, 2007 Atlanta Journal-Constitution, there is a picture of five female students of Spelman College. They are holding a sign that reads, "Young Democrats of Spelman College." The caption surrounding this picture says, "Should I vote for Obama because of my race? or should I vote for Clinton because of my Gender? If one of my daughters were in this picture I would go to the school and demand a refund. What does race and/or gender have to do with who would make the best president of the United States? It's that kind of thinking that has America in the position it's in now. In the 2000 and 2004 elections George Bush said he was a Christian, and as a result, the religious right formed a voting block that helped him become president. The fact that Bush was far less qualified than Gore and Kerry meant nothing to the people that voted for him and now he is well on his way to becoming the worse President in American history, at least according to some of the polls. I truly hope these young sisters don't vote for the next president on the basis of race or gender. I hope they examine the issues and come to the conclusion that Obama or Clinton will make America, America again.
There have been quite a few cases of white cops shooting and killing black men and according to the cops in each case the shooting was unintentional. But why is it that white cops never shoot and kill a white man unintentionally? Why is it that black cops never shoot and kill white men unintentionally? It's always white cops shooting and killing black men.
Black people can march, sing, sit in and demonstrate all they want, but until fighting racism is a goal of white Americans nothing will change. Martin Luther King once told us he had a dream that one day black and white children will walk hand and hand. Hopefully he woke up before he died so that he could see that Atlanta will have a William Tecumseh Sherman Day Parade before racial harmony is achieved in America.

Budget 2013: FM's home loan incentive cheers up realty players
NEW DELHI/BANGALORE/MUMBAI: Finance minister P Chidambaram's incentive to first-time home loan takers has come as a boon to the real estate developers who have been saddled with a growing pile of unsold stock over the past two years.
The industry expects the proposed incentive in the budget, by way of additional tax deduction on interest of up to 1 lakh on a loan of up to 25 lakh, to spur demand, especially in the 30-40 lakh category.
Of the 583,513 unsold apartments across the country, 39% cost less than 35 lakh. In the national capital region, 50% of the unsold apartments are in this segment while the figure is 30% in Mumbai, according to property research firm Liases Foras. In 2012, 42% of homes sold in the country were in this category, with buyers taking a loan of 25 lakh on average.
In the national capital region, developers say the budgetary proposal has already led to increased interest among potential buyers in Raj Nagar Extension in Ghaziabad, Noida Extension in Greater Noida and along the Yamuna Expressway.
"We have got good enquiries already after the budget. This will help us clear unsold stock," said Gaurav Gupta, director at SG Estates, which has projects in Raj Nagar Extension.
RK Arora, chairman of Supertech, said most of the enquiries pertain to the segment that stands to benefit from the budget.
Many of those who are calling on developers are also asking them to explain the benefits of the minister's proposal. The additional deduction of interest of up to 1 lakh for first-time home loan takers over and above the existing deduction of 1.5 lakh will cover close to 95% of the interest to be paid on a loan of 25 lakh in the first year, said Pankaj Kapoor, managing director of Liases Foras.
At the current interest rate of 10.5% a year, the total EMI outflow for the loan amount of 25 lakh will be 3 lakh, of which 2.64 lakh will be the interest component in the first year. With a deduction of 2.5 lakh, up from 1.5 lakh earlier, 95% of the total interest burden will be covered, compared with just 57% earlier.
Home sales have dropped across the country over the past few quarters because of high interest rates as well as low consumer sentiment.
"Additional demand will be created in this category and it will be a great opportunity for smaller developers to increase their market presence and branding by building affordable homes in this category," said Sanjay Dutt, executive managing director - South Asia, at property advisory firm Cushman & Wakefield. In Mumbai, apartments are available for less than 35 lakh in areas such as Badlapur, Kalyan, Vasai-Virar, Bhiwandi, Taloja, Kalamboli, Kamothe, New Panvel, Road Pali and some part of Karjat and Khopoli.
"Demand for a product in this price range is huge anyway, but with this measure it will become affordable to more buyers and demand is likely to get converted (to purchases)," said Mayur Shah, managing director of Marathon Realty, which has projects in Kalyan and Dombivali that are priced at 15-35 lakh.
Arvind Goel, president of Maharashtra Chamber of Housing Industry's Navi Mumbai unit, said that he expected more developers to undertake projects or tweak their existing developments to benefit from the proposed incentive.
In Bangalore, projects in this price range are available in locations such as Sarjapur, Whitefield, Brookfield, Thannisandra, Dodballapur, Yelahanka and Kanakpura. Bangalore-based real estate firm Prestige Estates' chief financial officer Venkat K Narayana said half of the 10 million sq ft of residential space that the company plans to develop over this fiscal will be in the sub- 35 lakh category.
Another local developer, Pashmina Developers, has over the past three weeks sold 650 of the 850 units that it launched at 18 lakh in one of its projects. "The response from buyers is phenomenal. There is huge demand at the bottom of the pyramid," said MS Jaiganesh, vice- president of Pashmina Developers.

A Denholme lorry driver has been enjoying a winter break with a difference – helping to train Ugandan soldiers in East Africa.
Army reservist Sergeant David Midgley has spent 11 days in temperatures of up to 32°C testing the Ugandan People's Defence Force (UPDF) before it crosses into Somalia to run peace-keeping operations.
The Platoon Sergeant, responsible for 17 men, has been assessing the Ugandans' ability to work in built-up areas and clear out enemy forces safely.
But he was able to get back to Denholme in time for Christmas to be re-united with his partner Joanne, who is also an army reservist.
Based at a Peace Support Training School at Singo in the south of the country, the 44-year-old has been part of a British Army team that helped to school a 1,900-strong Ugandan Battlegroup in a range of counter-insurgency techniques before setting the soldiers their final exam – an intensive, three-day exercise designed to test their new skills to the limit.
Mr Midgley joined the reservists in 1990 after his brother-in-law asked him to go along to a training night, and has so far toured Iraq, the US, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Canada.
He said: "I do it because it's completely different to civilian life – I get opportunities to come to places like Uganda, opportunities others would not get unless they paid for the trip. But it's been hot and hard work at times."
The 4 YORKS-led team not only included frontline soldiers but also medics, training officers, military police and support staff, most of whom have civilian jobs but give up their spare time to train and serve as army soldiers.
Colonel William Beinomugisha, the commander of UGABG 13 – the UPDF Battlegroup – said: "Everything has gone well, the training is in place and we have enjoyed it. I can say as commander of the Battlegroup that our forces are able and ready to go to their mission."
Army reservists are now being developed to perform more military tasks – such as training partner forces – independently. The aim is that by 2020, reservists will be routinely deployed as part of all military operations.

Like all the other South American polishes I've tried, this one also has quite a big brush. It's kind of bushy, but not too hard to handle and control. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out this one dries to a matte finish. The great thing about it is the smooth surface after it dries. It reminds me of ManGlaze Fuggen Ugly, but I don't think that one was as smooth.
Panvel Make Up, Congo, 2 coats
Another thing I have to mention about this polish is it's staying power. I've never had a matte polish that would survive dishwashing. This one did. Amazing, right? When I think about it, all Brazilian polishes last longer on me than other polishes. If you're not a fan of matte finish, you can always cover it up with top coat and make it glossy. You can see Congo by itself on the left and with Essence Nail Art Sealing Top Coat on the right.
Thanks for looking and commenting!

The Landsat-8 satellite of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission was launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in April 2013. Just weeks after it entered active service, its sensors observed activity at Paluweh Volcano, Indonesia. Given that the image acquired was in the daytime, its shortwave infrared observations were contaminated with reflected solar radiation; however, those of the satellite's Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) show thermal emission from the volcano's summit and flanks. These emissions detected in sensor's band 10 (10.60–11.19 μm) have here been quantified in terms of radiant power, to confirm reports of the actual volcanic processes operating at the time of image acquisition, and to form an initial assessment of the TIRS in its volcanic observation capabilities. Data from band 11 have been neglected as its data have been shown to be unreliable at the time of writing. At the instant of image acquisition, the thermal emission of the volcano was found to be 345 MW. This value is shown to be on the same order of magnitude as similarly timed NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer thermal observations. Given its unique characteristics, the TIRS shows much potential for providing useful, detailed and accurate volcanic observations in the future.
At the time of writing, the newest satellite for earth observation is Landsat-8, launched as part of the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) on 11 April 2013. This is the most recent spacecraft of the Landsat series of satellites which have been in service since 1972. It was designed as a successor to the Landsat-7 Mission, being constructed and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and operationally controlled by the US Geological Survey (USGS) [
This paper examines the first thermally anomalous volcanic observation made by the TIRS, analysing an image acquired of Paluweh volcano, Indonesia (8.3288°S, 121.7091°E) little more than two weeks (on 29 April 2013) after its launch. It attempts to highlight the sensor's potential for volcanic observations, and to use its data to quantify the thermal emission of the volcano at the instant of image acquisition. At the time of writing, data from the TIRS band 11 have been found to be unsuitable for quantitative analysis and as such, only that from band 10 is used here, following the application of the currently published constant offset correction [
Since the 1960s, the infrared remote sensing of volcanoes has developed into a discipline in its own right. It commenced with largely qualitative observations from both aerial and space-borne platforms, e.g., [
A common issue for all space-based sensors (thermal or otherwise) that are used to make volcanic observations is that none have been launched with the specific aim of volcanic remote sensing; this has simply been one of a number of possible applications for many such sensors. This remains the case for Landsat-8; in fact, the mission was not originally envisaged as possessing any thermal infrared detection capabilities at all [
Active volcanic surfaces are particularly amenable to their remote study using thermal infrared detectors by virtue of their emission of heat. Indeed, the thermal emissions of an active volcanic surface relate directly to the volcanic activity at a specific time, be it a fresh lava flow, active lava lake or a subtly warm fumarole field [
The reason for the direct relationship between thermal emissions and volcanic activity is that all objects above absolute zero (0 K) emit electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength and quantity that are each a function of the characteristics of the emitting surface in terms of its temperature and radiating efficiency (emissivity). As the temperature of a surface increases, so too does the radiance it emits; this is according to the Stefan-Boltzmann Law [
The overall spectral radiance,
Constants of
The thermal infrared bands present on many satellite sensors have been widely used for the monitoring of volcanic ash plumes (e.g., [
The spectral range of sensitivity within which the TIRS bands operate, and the temperature ranges they are capable of detecting, are shown in
The first Landsat-8 image of an active volcano was acquired on 29 April 2013, at 10.00 Eastern Indonesia time (02.00 UTC). This image, in all 11 bands, was downloaded from the United States Geological Survey's Global Visualisation Viewer [
Individual pixel data from the extracted region were converted to top of atmosphere (TOA) radiance (
The TOA spectral radiances associated with the extracted region are shown in
Top of atmosphere values provide an indication of the temperatures at the surface but, being at an altitude of 708 km in the case of Landsat-8, to accurately determine the emissions of energy actually leaving the surface and hence, the true PIT at the surface, the radiant signal must be corrected for the influence of the atmosphere that it has passed through; the emissivity of the emitting surface must also be considered. The emissivity of a surface is the ratio of the radiance it emits to the radiance that a blackbody would emit at the same temperature, and its value for the volcanic surface at Paluweh was selected as 0.982. This value was derived from the NASA Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [MODIS] Land Surface Temperature and Emissivity Product, MOD11A1 [
The influence of the atmosphere is in terms of its attenuation and augmentation of the surface emitted radiant signal. To determine the transmissivity (
Using these data, the spectral radiance leaving the emitting surface at temperature

These procedures were applied for all pixels within the extracted region. In a nighttime Landsat 8 image, it would have been possible to do this by simply isolating the corresponding anomalously radiant pixels in the associated OLI SWIR imagery (

The retrieval of radiant power for the thermally anomalous pixels at Paluweh was 345 MW for the TIRS band 10. Given such data, previous workers have often gone on to calculate lava effusion rates. This is not done here as the data are based on just one observation and [
The thermal anomaly isolated in the Landsat-8 image of Paluweh was spread over 264 pixels (2.64 km2) (
Unfortunately, Paluweh is a relatively under studied and remote volcano and, as such, no ground measurements are available to corroborate the values determined here. However, what is available are observations acquired from other sensors. As such, data from the MODIS Fire Product (MOD14A1) were acquired from [
Given its compliment of thermal infrared bands, the LCDM provides an appropriate continuation in the thermal detection capabilities of the Landsat range of satellites, and with their increased number and improved signal to noise ratio and dynamic range, as compared with previous TIR Landsat bands, they show potential for the acquisition of highly accurate data. Its first observation of volcanic activity on 29 April 2013 (just two weeks after its launch) has been shown to provide useful quantitative data relating to the activity of the volcano at the time. This paper however, is just an initial examination of the first available active volcanic Landsat-8 observation and there is much more which now needs to be studied, including examining some of its more recent imagery (now that the satellite is out of its 100-day commissioning period [
Other sun-synchronous satellites with TIR observation capabilities have fewer bands (e.g., Landsat-7), a poorer spatial resolution (e.g., AVHRR) or have actually surpassed their planned lifetimes (e.g., the NASA Terra and Aqua satellites which host the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer [ASTER] and MODIS sensors). As such, LCDM TIRS observations are likely to increase in value in the coming years. With its three year lifetime, the TIRS bands will not provide the continuity of data to which we have become accustomed but, given their high quality and resolution, the remote sensing community must take every opportunity to analyse and interpret the data they acquire for the furtherance of volcanic knowledge, to inform future sensor design and to highlight the utility of TIR bands for new and planned Earth-observation spacecraft.

Beijing (AFP) July 09, 2013
Chinese police opened fire on Tibetans marking the Dalai Lama's 78th birthday, shooting at least one monk in the head and seriously wounding several other people, two overseas groups said Tuesday.
Security forces disrupted Tibetans in Sichuan province's Daofu county as they carried out rituals to honour their exiled leader, whom Beijing denounces as a separatist, said the US-based International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) and India-based phayul.com.
Regional authorities denied the allegations.
"Two Tibetan monks were shot in the head and several others seriously injured after Chinese police opened fire at a crowd," ICT said, citing unnamed local and exile sources.
It named the monks as Tashi Sonam and Ugyen Tashi, and said both were in hospital.
Armed police and soldiers who arrived to block the group began shooting and using tear gas "without warning", it said, citing two Tibetans in exile.
At least 20 people were detained after the incident on Saturday, ICT added.
Phayul, a news site on Tibet, said police opened fire after a monk tried to "drive past the security blockade", citing an overseas Tibetan. One monk was shot in the head, the site said.
Police and religious affairs authorities in Daofu both told AFP: "There was no incident of this kind".
The county is part of Ganzi prefecture, one of southwestern China's Tibetan-majority areas.
Members of the ethnic minority have long complained of religious and cultural repression by Beijing, and more than 100 have set themselves on fire in recent years in apparent protest at Chinese rule.
Beijing insists it respects ethnic minorities and has invested heavily to develop Tibetan areas. It blames self-immolations on overseas groups seeking to push a separatist agenda.
Friction in Tibetan areas has sharpened as ethnic majority Han Chinese have increasingly settled in Tibetan areas. Reports of authorities opening fire are rare, however.
The Dalai Lama fled Tibet following a failed uprising against Chinese rule in 1959 and later founded the Tibetan government-in-exile in India.
China has denounced foreign leaders for meeting with the Nobel peace laureate.
Last month Beijing denied reports that it had relaxed its policies of publicly denouncing the Dalai Lama and banning worship of his image.
At a regular press briefing Tuesday, foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying called him "a political exile engaged in separating his country and undermining the social stability of the country".
"The Dalai clique is using his birthday to promote the separatist agenda of the Dalai Lama," she said, adding she was not aware of the reported shooting incident.

Decorated epilepsy soft shell helmet?
I have a five year old with seizure getting ready to start school. We just get her medical grade soft shell helmet. The thing is hideous, but I want her to be proud of it and not embarassed by it when she gets to university.
For the life of me I can't find any online images of helmets moms have bedecked. I was hoping people would have cute concept, or pics of decoration ideas for this.
I almost want to start my own business doing this for kids like mine!
Yea, festoon it with fun stuff she loves. I love the idea about your business. There are already a few companies that put on the market them and if you can get an affiliation with them, it may work! Good luck.
These are for bicycle helmets. I'm not sure the difference between those and a medical helmet so I'm not sure if they would work. But they're pretty cool. http://www.noginsox.com/Products.html

i am amazed at the lack of concern for Americans to have easy to read labels on genetically modified food. we have thorough food labels to help us count calories, protect us from possible allergens(peanut oil) and to help us know if we are consuming too much sodium in one serving. we are intelligent and able people who should know what we are eating. you force aspirin companies to label their products with safety measures and precautions. Children's cereal has to be labeled if the remotest part came in contact with peanuts. We have a right to know and to make informed decisions. You are infringing on our rights by not requiring food companies to be upfront about their product. In an increasingly health conscious world where we wonder where our food came from, where we are concerned for our children's intake of pesticides on the apples they eat, where we filter our water to prevent bacteria and lead from getting into our water, you are allowing companies to voluntarily not tell consumers about their ge products. in a world where the majority of nations are requiring labeling...you are giving companies a free ride. Ge foods may be fine. You may feed them to your children every day. But, I should be able to make wise nformed decisions on my own. And if asked right now...i would choose non-gmo food. (and i believe i am in the majority of americans)please require companies to be responsible and wise and label their GE modified foods.

Choose Your Weapon: Available Sofa Cleaning Products
There is a variety of sofa cleaning products on the market, from cleaning solutions that come in a spray bottle for individual use to more advanced power cleaning systems. Most powered vacuum systems are used for cleaning carpets, but can be equipped with a hand-held attachment that also works well for sofas. The type of product needed will depend upon the type of upholstery on the sofa.
Chem-Dry Stain Extinguisher
Chem-Dry's Stain Extinguisher, the companys patented cleaning solution designed for consumer use, is a powerful carbonated stain remover that is designed to clean even the worst stains from a sofa. This cleaning solution is good for smaller stains or spills which do not necessarily require heavy-duty cleaning equipment from a professional upholstery cleaning technician. It is available for purchase at participating Home Depot locations.
OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover
OxiClean is another major company that creates a variety of cleaning solution products of varying strengths to fit most upholstery needs. OxiClean's Versatile Stain Remover Powder is designed for all types of stains around the house, including stains on a sofa. Water is used to activate this sofa cleaning agent, which creates a bubbling oxygen powder to powerfully lift embedded dirt from upholstery. The stain remover is also available in a scent and dye-free formula.
Woolite Fabric and Upholstery Cleaner Foam
The Woolite Fabric and Carpet Cleaners business was started in the 1980s by Boyle Midway Company, and it is now a leading brand in upholstery cleaning products. The company's Fabric and Upholstery Cleaner Foam is a powerful upholstery cleaning solution that contains a Scotchgard protector designed to keep a sofa from becoming re-soiled after cleaning. Woolite has also added a fabric refresher and a deodorizing agent, which keeps upholstery smelling fresh and clean.
Rotovac Powerwand with Upholstery Tool
There are many powered vacuum tools on the market that can be used for upholstery cleaning. One of these is the Rotovac Powerwand with Upholstery Tool. This rotary vacuum uses specially designed heads that clean in all directions, rather than just back and forth. In order to clean a sofa with the Powerwand, it is also necessary to purchase the Rotovac's Upholstery Tool, which is a hand-held attachment. Used together, the Powerwand and Upholstery Tool prevent over-spray and drips.
RugDoctor Mighty Pro X3 with Universal Hand Tool
Even since being established in 1998, RugDoctor has provided consumers and professional upholstery cleaners with some of the best products on the market. Their new RugDoctor Mighty Pro X3 provides a complete home upholstery cleaning system. The system uses a three step process to clean upholstery and carpets: injection, agitation, and extraction. When combined with the Universal Hand Tool, the RugDoctor Mighty Pro X3 becomes an even more powerful and effective upholstery cleaning machine.
Whether you are looking to do some major cleaning or are just looking to clean minor stains on your sofa at home, it will be necessary to choose the correct products to finish the job. While smaller jobs may require only a bottle of the proper cleaning solution, larger jobs may need the assistance of a powered cleaning system.

(CNSNews.com) – Tea Party activist Mark West said his group in Chattanooga, Tenn., was given a lengthy list of questions and requests for documentation from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to gain approval as a non-profit tax-exempt organization, including "audio and video recordings, conversations, reactions, etc." from meetings and "copies of all social network websites involved in, if any, including twitter, Facebook, etc."
"They wanted to have all conversations and all reactions at our meetings," West told CNSNews.com at a Capitol Hill press conference held Thursday by House and Senate members on the latest revelations of the IRS targeting conservative groups. "How do you document a reaction of people? "
One question asked for more information about forums that West's group had held: "What are the details, including the nature of the forums, the candidates invited to participate, the candidates that did participate, the issues discussed, the time and location of the event? How many people attended the event? How many events were hosted: Indicate candidates and party affiliations."
Another IRS question asked the group, "Why it would not have been practical to hold a debate for the lone Democratic candidate?"
Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder and CEO of the Tea Party Patriots, called the IRS's tactics "clearly excessive" and said one group had been asked for a reading list.
"The IRS questioned Marion Bower and her group, American Patriots Against Government Excess, asking for a list of every book their group had read and a book report on each book," Martin said. "A government that's this intrusive is clearly excessive."
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who is chair of the House Tea Party Caucus, organized the event, which drew not only a huge crowd of activists and reporters but Tea Party favorites in Congress, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
Bachmann said the activists shared "shocking stories of common people from across the United States who wanted to be able to exercise their First Amendment free speech rights as American citizens."
"There's something profoundly un-American about targeting your political opponents," said Paul, who is chair of the Senate Tea Party Caucus.
Paul said President Barack Obama's firing of the acting director of the IRS was a "good first step" but more needed to be done.
"Someone needs to be held accountable," Paul said. "Someone needs to be imprisoned. Someone needs to be prosecuted."
House Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also spoke at the event.
"These horror stories of the government attempting to quiet the voice of critics is apparently rather rampant," McConnell said, repeating accusations that the IRS also shared tax information about conservative groups with liberal groups.
"This is runaway government at its worst," McConnell said. "Who knows who they'll target next?"
McConnell promised a "complete and thorough investigation" in Congress and vowed, "the truth will come out."
West of the Chattanooga Tea Party told CNSNews.com that his group first applied to the IRS in November 2009 and did not hear back from the agency until recently.
"Two months ago we were notified that our status was revoked and it had never been approved," West said. "And then a month later they said, 'We're giving you your status but only back to May 2012.'"
West said that means the group will have to file back taxes as a corporation for the three-and-a-half years it waited for IRS approval, unless they join more than a dozen other Tea Party groups who are planning legal action.
"They bottom line, we'll probably sue them," West said.

Haifa, Israel (SPX) Jul 09, 2013
The earliest evidence of using flower beds for burial, dating back to 13,700 years ago, was discovered in Raqefet Cave in Mt. Carmel, during excavations led by the University of Haifa. In four different graves from the Natufian period, dating back to 13,700-11,700 years ago, dozens of impressions of Salvia plants and other species of sedges and mints (the Lamiaceae family), were found under human skeletons.
"This is another evidence that as far back as 13,700 years ago, our ancestors, the Natufians, had burial rituals similar to ours, nowadays", said Prof. Dani Nadel, from the University of Haifa, who led the excavations.
The Natufians, who lived some 15,000-11,500 years ago, were of the first in the world to abandon nomadic life and settle in permanent settlements, setting up structures with stone foundations. They were also among the first to establish cemeteries - confined areas in which they buried their community members for generations.
The cemeteries were usually located at the first chambers of caves or on terraces located below the caves. In contrast, earlier cultures used to bury their dead (if at all) randomly. Mt. Carmel was one of the most important and densely populated areas in the Natufian settlement system. Its sites have been explored by University of Haifa archeologists for dozens of years.
A Natufian cemetery containing 29 skeletons of babies, children and adults was discovered at Raqefet cave. Most of the burials were single interments, although some were double, in which two bodies were interred together in the same pit. In fours graves, researchers found plant impressions on a thin layer of mud veneer which was presumably spread like plaster inside the grave.
Before burying the bodies, the Natufians spread a bed of blooming green plants inside the graves. The impressions are mostly of plants with square stems, common among the mint family. In one incident, flowering stems of Judean Sage were found, one of three Sage species currently growing in the vicinity of the cave. This led the researchers to suggest that the burials were conducted in springtime, using colorful and aromatic flowers. The Raqefet cave remains are the earliest example found of graves lined with green and flowering plants.
According to the researchers, apparently flowerbeds were not restricted to adults alone and graves of children and adolescents were also lined with flowers. Since the mud veneer doesn't include impressions of stone objects and bones, despite the presence of thousands of these hard and durable artifacts within the cave and grave fills, the researchers suggest that the green lining was thick and continuous, covering the entire grave floor and sides, preventing objects from leaving impressions on the moist mud veneer.
The researchers even found evidence of Natufian bedrock chiseling in the graveyard, demonstrating grave preparation to fit their needs. The Natufians also chiseled a variety of mortars and cupmarks in close vicinity to the graves and on rock exposures on the terrace below the cave. The graves were directly radiocarbon dated. Samples from three different human skeletons were dated to 13,700-11,700 years ago.
"The Natufians lived at a time of many changes - a time when population density was rising and the struggle for land, food and resources was increasing. The establishment of grave yards and unique burial rituals reflects the complexity of the Natufian society. Communal burial sites and elaborate rituals such as funeral ceremonies must have strengthened the sense of solidarity among the community members, and their feeling of unity in the face of other groups", concluded Prof. Nadel.

When Brett Lawrie learned he was headed to the major leagues, the first warning he got from Marty Brown, his Class AAA manager, was to resist tweeting the news.
Lawrie held back -- not an easy task for the outgoing (brash?) 21-year-old Canadian, if you listen to those who know him best -- merely calling his father and 81-year-old grandfather.
GALLERY: Blue Jays in pictures
But after his debut weekend in Baltimore (5-for-11 with a homer), he tweeted, "T.O., comininhot."
"T.O.," for the uninitiated, is how Canadians refer to Toronto.
Blue Jays players tend not to get noticed so much in this country until they get to a special level -- those two World Series back in the '90s, Jose Bautista's breakout home run binge. And it's not going to happen again anytime soon unless and until Lawrie and the other players general manager Alex Anthopoulos is assembling turns Toronto into a legitimate challenge to the Red Sox and Yankees in the AL East.
Lawrie's debut tonight in his homeland falls somewhere between carnival and circus in Toronto but if he hits like the Blue Jays expect, we'll all notice.
He's competitive and he's edgy, delightfully so for a guy who's in line to become the face of the franchise. Some of Lawrie's trash-talking get downright biting -- all with a smile -- as he and fellow rookie Kyle Drabek engaged in across-the-room online Scrabble in the Blue Jays' spring training clubhouse.
He was clearly accepted when he arrived in his first big-league clubhouse last week and got the full shaving cream and Gatorade treatment after two hits and and RBI in his debut. He's close friends with catcher J.P. Arencibia, as well as outfielder Travis Snider, who's still a part of the team's future plans but was sent down when Lawrie was called up.
But this is as much about him being a Canadian as being a prospect.
The whole run-up to Lawrie's arrival almost looks like some sort of grand Canadian conspiracy, all the way to the Oakland pitcher he'll face tonight -- Canadian Rich Harden.
The Blue Jays traded established pitcher Shaun Marcum to Milwaukee last winter for 2008 first-rounder Lawrie -- a deal engineered by two Canadian general managers, Anthopoulos and the Brewers' Doug Melvin.
When Lawrie arrived in Baltimore last Friday for his debut, he was met in Baltimore by his parents, who had flown cross-continent from British Columbia, and older sister Danielle. Mom Cheryl was wearing Brett's Canada jersey from the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
Danielle, two-time NCAA softball Player of the Year at Washington and like Brett a Canadian Olympian, came from Florida, where she pitches professionally. Danielle is so well-known in Canada that she spent an inning on the telecast back to Canada.
She referred to Brett as "brother bear" on Twitter during his first game, but don't think this is some soft and cuddly bunch.
Her mother says Danielle, "Has the tendency to intimidate."
Former major leaguer Jay Buhner, who saw Danielle pitch in college, called her "an absolute stud." And her college coach said Danielle could have a Jennie Finch-like effect on her sport.
Brett and Danielle grew up as the best at what they did.
For the record, Brett says he hasn't batted against Danielle. But unlike Jason Bay of the Mets, who has said he has no interest in batting against sister Lauren (Danielle's Olympic teammate), Brett says he'd like to.
He might not want to dig in.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

UNICEF NZ welcomes extra govt support for Syrian crisis
UNICEF NZ welcomes extra government support for Syrian crisis
UNICEF NZ Emergency Appeal. Donate at: www.unicef.org.nz/syria
UNICEF New Zealand has welcomed the New Zealand Government's announcement today that it will commit an additional $5 million to UNICEF operations in Lebanon and Jordan to help children affected by the Syrian conflict.
UNICEF NZ Executive Director, Dennis McKinlay said, "The scale of this humanitarian crisis is unprecedented, with millions of people affected – at least half of them are children. We are pleased and grateful that the Government has recognised the severity and the urgency of the situation and responded accordingly."
The funds will go towards UNICEF's education and health programmes for refugees in Lebanon and Jordan – where nearly 1.4 million refugees have fled. "The conditions facing children and their families are grim at best, especially given that the region is now experiencing the coldest winter in a decade. They are living in tents and camps in sub-zero temperatures. They need food, warm clothes, medicines, blankets – and they need hope."
"The funding announced by the Government will be used to help get children back into school, to protect them from exploitation and to provide psychological care. Some of these children have seen their families and friends killed and lost their schools and homes. They will need all the support we can give them to return to any kind of normalcy."
Earlier this month, UNICEF, Save the Children, UNHCR and World Vision launched the No Lost Generation campaign, calling for a US$1billion investment and for governments, aid agencies and members of the public to become champions for the children of Syria. The campaign aims to provide those affected by the conflict with the chance to shape a more stable and secure future.
"New Zealanders have been very generous in donating to our appeal for Syria, but so much more is needed. We need to act now to ensure we don't lose an entire generation and any chance of future peace for the region," Mr McKinlay said.

Scarborough on Republicans winning House majority: It was just gerrymandering
Conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Sunday warned Republicans that fringe elements were causing the party to shrink and it was just gerrymandering that allowed the GOP to keep control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2012 elections.
A Republican State Leadership Committee report released earlier this month acknowledged that a Strategy of Targeting State Legislative Races in 2010 Led to a Republican U.S. House Majority in 2013.
On Sunday, Scarborough pointed to this as evidence that the Republican Party needed to become more inclusive.

6. One two three four who are you voting for
Scarborough Showed America and the world what America is really like! Scarboroughs admitting that Gerrymandering to steal votes to win elections has very deep and profound devastating implications for the Republican Party. It has been going on for a really long time. This Gerrymandering likely could have been covered up by mainstream media for decades.
Its not just elections. Just last night Book TV C-Span had the Senator from Oklahoma on in a discussion about the deficit. A new deficit number was pitched out, now the new deficit level of barrowed corruption money is topping eighty eight trillion dollars, per the Senator from Oklahoma. Get this most of the Congress dont even read legislation they vote on. You who, you out there America, did you get that? The Congress most likely does not read the stuff they vote on. Imagine decades of gerrymandered legislation. The kicker is they dont even know the corruption they did. Total negligence.
Of course all the big shots want to get rid of the tax code because legislation is so tied to the tax code and gerrymandered for the corporate Congress. These are not loopholes in the tax code. My god America, Congress built a highway straight through the tax code to create an eighty eight trillion dollar deficit.
These corporate creeps are sitting on this money wondering what to do next. Isnt that a laugh, these Congress people vote on something they dont even read and it likely is pure corruption.

...when you once again, for the 4000th time, go on a tirade about how Prez. Obama doesn't have a mandate because the house is still Republican and THEY have a mandate too.

9. They have more tricks up their sleeves
I think Republicans are going to try to change how presidential electors are chosen, especially in states like Michigan, where the state house, senate, and governor are all Republican, but the state voted Democratic.
If those states move from a Winner-take-all elector selection, that'll throw a bunch of "free" votes to the Republican presidential candidate.
Governor Snyder (with his partners Koch / Norquist) might try this before Nov 2016. Snyder's been running the table with teabagger legislation.

10. I read and later saw on TV that some states may try to have their district results decide what
presidential nominee wins their state. Joe mentioned the gerrymandering again this morning with Colin Powell.

HAP 'Couch to 5K' run looks to inspire healthy choices
By Nick Mordowanec
Posted May 7, 2014
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Health Alliance Plan (HAP) will soon be celebrating two races to help people get on their feet and moving toward a better lifestyle.
The "Couch to 5K Challenge" is an ambitious event that pushes participants to receive encouragement, camaraderie and technical information from fitness experts. Runners receive support from group practices, training plans and online team pages where participants can encourage each other, track their weekly progress and communicate with their coaches.
The first session is the Oak Apple Run in Royal Oak on May 31, and the second is in Detroit's Palmer Park on September 13.
About 400 members participated in the inaugural run last year, so HAP decided to add an extra run this year to encourage even more participation and health consciousness.
"We're always looking for ways for our members to get healthier," said HAP Director of Worksite Wellness and Health Promotion, Terri Kachadurian. "It's really geared towards anybody. ... It helps people at all levels and teaches them and trains them to run a 5k.
"It doesn't exclude anyone. It's literally a one-size-fits-all approach. Some people were truly sedentary who had trouble running 1-2 minutes at time, while there were people who run 5ks."
The preparation for the first run kicked off April 1, which the HAP team thought was a good time for people to get outdoors and start moving.
Kachadurian said that a good two-thirds of adults in southeast Michigan are fairly sedentary, and although numbers haven't actually increased in the present, the issue has persisted for a long time.
Clinton Township resident and HAP member Darlene Dove had bariatric surgery in 2007. She was overweight her entire life, trying year after year to lose 25 pounds, but she just put the weight back on in the end.
After the surgery, she looked and felt like a different person, eating smaller portions and being more active. But as the years passed, she didn't work out on a regular basis and started to put weight back on again.
That's not to say that Dove isn't active, though. She said she participated in various activities even at her heaviest weight. She found out about the HAP run and didn't see any reasons why she wouldn't train with free professionals.
"Running/walking has always been my biggest weakness," Dove said. "All the years of being overweight, I was always able to do workout videos, but when I would try and take a long walk, it was like my legs were 1,000-pound weights. I remember thinking to myself, 'Why can I do these workout videos and not walk around the block without feeling like I am dying?'
"I have to admit, I was a little nervous starting this training. You start off in small increments and work up. The first week of training (I had to) jog a minute, walk a minute for 20 minutes. Then, gradually, you work up to jog for eight minutes, walk for five minutes and jog for another eight minutes."
When Dove started, she could barely jog one minute without stopping to catch her breath. She would look ahead at the schedule for the following week and wonder how she was going to jog three minutes, then five minutes.
But Dove felt herself getting stronger and stronger, which is the appeal of run such as this. According to Kachadurian, this people-connecting program concludes with positive stories.
From an engaged couple who wanted to lose weight for their wedding, to siblings and mother-daughter teams supporting each other, it shows that determination has positive outcomes.
"When you see that someone is successful, it helps you," Kachadurian said.
For Dove, she now feels stronger and more empowered. She now knows different strategies and techniques for stretching and relieving soreness. The program has changed her mindset of what is possible.
"Just get started!" she said. "Try and do something that you would never think that you would like. You really amaze yourself on what you can accomplish."

Linden completed her Bachelors Degree in art history at New York University in 2001, and worked at galleries, museums, and non-profit art spaces in New York, Berlin, rural Thailand, and San Francisco before enrolling at Bard.

Suspension Question
I have my car up on jacks right now with the wheels off and I was looking at the the front wheel hub, and it has three connections, one on the control arm, one on the rack and pinion, and then one on the strut, but it's just attached to the strut with a collar. Like the strut comes down as a 2-3" tube and then the hub just has a collar that tightens around it. So my question is is that adjustable so you can adjust your ride height or is that something that you shouldn't touch? Btw I have the sports package if that makes any difference.
lol no. don't touch that.
btw, that piece you're referring to is the kingpin or spindle. not hub. the hub is what your rotor mounts to and includes the wheel bearing. the hub presses onto the spindle.
Yeah I was trying to think of the name but I just couldn't remember. lol. And what does that do then? Why is it like that?
it serves as the backbone for your front suspension/steering. holds the strut in place.
Yeah I know that, but why is it a collar and not a more solid connection? Like I know I shouldn't touch it because it would probably throw off my handling but it looks like I could just loosen the collar and slide it up an inch, then retighten it. Is it like that so BMW could calibrate the suspension at the factory or something?
it doesn't mean anything. it's just where your strut sits.
if you raised your strut and tried to retighten it it wouldn't hold it. and it would be extremely unsafe. the strut actually has a little lip on it. so it's resting on the lip of the collar.
don't touch it.
only way to lower is with lowering springs or coilovers :)
The shock wont go any lower into the collar... Even if you try hard
Oh ok, I wasn't planning on lowering it, I scrape as it is with the sports suspension, I was just wondering. Thanks
The strut only goes into the collar one depth, and that is controlled by a tiny tip on the side of the strut that won't slide into the collar any more.
And this depth does not control ride height. Shocks don't hold the car in the position it sits. The springs do that.
If you were to be able to adjust the collar up or down, the ride height would not change. But you'd be messing with the travel extremes of the shock, and potentially set things up to do permanent damage to the shocks (struts).
Alright, I'll make sure not to touch them
Your detailed refutal of the facts is well expressed.
If you raise the strut upward say one inch in the pinch bolt area, the strut, spring and the car will rise up 1 inch with it!
I experimented with this for a night or so. What I found was, the two little "nipples" on the strut body are primarily used to orientate the strut to the right geometric location, in reference to the sway bar end links to keep them parallel with the strut. If you were to raise the strut up far enough out to allow the nipples to be out of the collar the strut would twist , causing the sway bar end link to be out of geometric alignment, causing things that should not touch to touch or to bind. I knocked off the two nipples, on an old strut and it had no effect on where the strut set in the collar. I did not put a micrometer or measure the interior diameter of the collar from top to bottom, but I am pretty sure it is tapered along with the bottom of the strut to allow it only to go so far. I am sure if you could lower the strut into the collar at your own desired level, every one would be subscribing to a post about "how the lower control arm was destroyed", when the strut bottomed out onto the lower control arm during travel of suspension. Just my observation.
Die feinen Ingenieure bei BMW denken schneller als wir!
Sure, we didn't design the car, but lacking one of those engineers on this board with us, we do our best. And sometimes better vis-à-vis KONI or Stewart.
Big mistake to position this anywhere but fully seated tho.
