Sorting Out Priorities
(I wrote this the day we returned from Florida, December f24th, 2012. I just published it today, 1 January 2013).
It has been over a month since I have posted on this blog. So many things have happened. We just yesterday returned from our "vacation" to Florida, for our biggest family event since my eldest daughter's wedding. My only sister, my niece and her new husband, also flew down from New York for this event. What was the occasion? Our eldest grandson, who has Down Syndrome, became a Bar-Mitzvah. But this was only the tail end of the entire three months of family activities.
First, I don't even remember if I wrote about my daughter's visit to the States. I might have mentioned it in a previous post, but now, let me elaborate: my daughter was invited by the JDC (Joint Distribution Committee) to speak at their board meeting in New York. They bought her ticket to the States, with a return to Israel in January, in their kindness, allowing her to visit her family in Colorado and in Florida in addition to her sister, aunt and cousin in New York.
How did this happen? It's fortuituous, how a door closes and another opens. Some would call it serendipity, others, hashgachah pratit--Divine Providence, if you will. My daughter began volunteering, for as long as she felt up to it and could control her pain, at the Center for Independent Living (scroll down to the one in Tel-Aviv), nicknamed for it's acronym, in Hebrew: CIL (pronounced "seel"). She did everything she could there, from empathizing with the members, who are disabled from a myriad of reasons--CP, vehicular and other accidents, deafness, blindness, paraplegia-- to name just a few--to advising, connecting and managing their computer network, troubleshooting problems, filing, doing office paperwork, and assisting the director as well as members. She has always been feisty and socially outgoing, and being active in the center helped her forget, for a while, her pain and disability. She could focus on something worthwhile outside of herself, and it gave her life a new purpose.
Then one day, the JDC sent a delegation to determine future fundraising efforts to assist the Center, and she was asked, before their arrival, to speak--as she is American and her English is native, and she could relate to them in a more personal way. She prepared her little speech, and was a knockout. The delegates asked her if she was a "professional motivational speaker!" She answered that no, she wasn't, but did have some acting experience, which is true: she was always had a 'dramatic' personality, with histrionic tendancies (!), and had also acted in several JCC and school productions as a student.
Fast forward to the JOINT, as it is called, buying her ticket to the United States, to speak at their board meeting in New York, and other places as well. She arrived in October, was with us for a month in her old room-turned-guest-room-back-to-Rambo's-room for the duration. While here, she told her story at two Jewish schools, both of which she had attended in elementary school. She spoke to the High School divisions.
All three of us, my D. H., Rambo, and myself--left for Florida on December 5th for her nephew--our grandson's Bar Mitzvah. She is now in New York with her older/middle sister, spending some time before they fly her to San Diego for her next speaking engagement.
Here is a video discussing some of the good that CIL in Tel Aviv (founded in conjunction with B'Kol, an organization for the hearing impaired) is doing for its members.
The transit wheel chair which we bought for her is still in her room. The toboggan/sled which we bought for her to help her pull herself up and slide down the stairs is still downstairs in the living room. I miss her.

text: Some basic theory to clarify how things work is in order… EGR System theory and testing The EGR shuts off at Wide Open Throttle (WOT), so it has minimal effect on performance. The addition of exhaust gas drops combustion temperature, increases gas mileage and reduces the tendency of the engine to ping. It can also reduce HC emissions by reducing fuel consumption. The primary result of EGR usage is a reduction in NOx emissions. It does this by reducing the amount of air/fuel mixture that gets burned in the combustion process. This reduces combustion temperature, and the creation of NOx gases. The reduced combustion temp reduces the tendency to ping. The EGR system has a vacuum source (line from the intake manifold) that goes to the EVR, computer operated electronic vacuum regulator. The EVR is located on the back of the passenger side shock strut tower. The computer uses RPM, Load. and some other factors to tell the EVR to pass vacuum to open the EGR valve. The EGR valve and the passages in the heads and intake manifold route exhaust gas to the EGR spacer (throttle body spacer). The EGR sensor tells the computer how far the EGR valve is open. Then computer adjusts the signal sent to the EVR to hold, increase or decrease the vacuum. The computer adds spark advance to compensate for the recirculated gases and the slower rate they burn at. Troubleshooting: There should be no vacuum at the EGR valve when at idle. If there is, the EVR (electronic vacuum regulator) mounted on the backside of the passenger side wheelwell is suspect. Check the vacuum line plumbing to make sure the previous owner didn't cross the vacuum lines. Diagram courtesy of Tmoss & Stang&2birds. (the diagram says 88 GT, but the EGR part is the same for 86-93 Mustangs) The EGR sensor is basically a variable resistor, like the volume control on a radio. One end is 5 volt VREF power from the computer (red/orange wire). One end is computer signal ground (black/white), and the middle wire (brown/lt green) is the signal output from the EGR sensor. It is designed to always have some small voltage output from it anytime the ignition switch is the Run position. That way the computer knows the sensor & the wiring is OK. No voltage on computer pin 27 (brown/lt green wire) and the computer thinks the sensor is bad or the wire is broken and sets code 31. The voltage output can range from approximately .6-.85 volt. The EVR regulates vacuum to the EGR valve to maintain the correct amount of vacuum. The solenoid coil should measure 20-70 Ohms resistance. The regulator has a vacuum feed on the bottom which draws from the intake manifold. The other vacuum line is regulated vacuum going to the EGR valve. One side of the EVR electrical circuit is +12 volts anytime the ignition switch is in the run position. The other side of the electrical circuit is the ground path and is controlled by the computer. The computer switches the ground on and off to control the regulator solenoid. EGR test procedure courtesy of cjones To check the EGR valve: Bring the engine to normal temp. Connect a vacuum pump to the EGR Valve or see the EGR test jig drawing below. Connnect the test jig or to directly to manifold vacuum. Do not connect the EGR test jig to the EVR (Electronic Vacuum Regulator). Apply 5in vacuum to the valve. Using the test jig, use your finger to vary the vacuum If the engine stumbled or died then EGR Valve and passage(there is a passageway through the heads and intake) are good. If the engine did NOT stumble or die then either the EGR Valve is bad and/or the passage is blocked. If the engine stumbled, connect EGR test jig to the hose coming off of the EGR Valve. Use your finger to cap the open port on the vacuum tee. Snap throttle to 2500 RPM (remember snap the throttle don't hold it there). Did the vacuum gauge show about 2-5 in vacuum? If not the EVR has failed EGR test jig To test the computer and wiring to the computer, you can use a test light across the EVR wiring connectors and dump the codes. When you dump the codes, the computer does a self test that toggles every relay/actuator/solenoid on and off. When this happens, the test light will flicker. If the test light remains on the computer or the wiring is suspect. To check the EVR to computer wiring, disconnect the EVR connector and connect one end of the Ohmmeter to the dark green wire EVR wiring. Remove the passenger side kick panel and use a 10 MM socket to remove the computer connector from the computer. Set the Ohmmeter to high range and connect the other ohmmeter lead to ground. You should see an infinite open circuit indication or a reading greater than 1 Meg Ohm. If you see less than 200 Ohms, the dark green wire has shorted to ground somewhere. Late Model Restoration may still have the Ford Racing M-12071-N302 kit with the EGR valve & sensor along with the ACT & ECT sensors for $45. See http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/iwwida.pvx?;item?item_no=M12071N302 1&comp=LRS for more details Thermactor Air System Some review of how it works... Revised 17-Sept-2011 to add testing procedure. The Thermactor air pump (smog pump) supplies air to the heads or catalytic converters. This air helps break down the excess HC (hydrocarbons) and CO (carbon monoxide). The air supplied to the catalytic converters helps create the catalytic reaction that changes the HC & CO into CO2 and water vapor. Catalytic converters on 5.0 Mustangs are designed to use the extra air provided by the smog pump. Without the extra air, the catalytic converters will clog and fail. The Thermactor air pump draws air from an inlet filter in the front of the pump. The smog pump puts air into the heads when the engine is cold and then into the catalytic converters when it is warm. The Thermactor control valves serve to direct the flow. The first valve, TAB (Thermactor Air Bypass) or AM1 valve) either dumps air to the atmosphere or passes it on to the second valve. The second valve, TAD (Thermactor Air Diverter valve or AM2 valve) directs it to the heads or the catalytic converters. Check valves located after the TAB & TAD solenoids prevent hot exhaust gases from damaging the control valves or pump in case of a backfire. The air serves to help consume any unburned hydrocarbons by supplying extra oxygen to the catalytic process. The computer tells the Thermactor Air System to open the Bypass valve at WOT (wide open throttle) minimizing engine drag. This dumps the pump's output to the atmosphere, and reduces the parasitic drag caused by the smog pump to about 2-4 HP at WOT. The Bypass valve also opens during deceleration to reduce or prevent backfires. Code 44 RH side air not functioning. Code 94 LH side air not functioning. The computer uses the change in the O2 sensor readings to detect operation of the Thermactor control valves. When the dump valve opens, it reduces the O2 readings in the exhaust system. Then it closes the dump valve and the O2 readings increase. By toggling the dump valve (TAB), the computer tests for the 44/94 codes. Failure mode is usually due to a clogged air crossover tube, where one or both sides of the tube clog with carbon. The air crossover tube mounts on the back of the cylinder heads and supplies air to each of the Thermactor air passages cast into the cylinder heads. When the heads do not get the proper air delivery, they set codes 44 & 94, depending on which passage is clogged. It is possible to get both 44 & 94, which would suggest that the air pump or control valves are not working correctly, or the crossover tube is full of carbon or missing. Computer operation & control for the Thermactor Air System Automobile computers use current sink technology. They do not source power to any relay, solenoid or actuator like the IAC, fuel pump relay, or fuel injectors. Instead the computer provides a ground path for the positive battery voltage to get back to the battery negative terminal. That flow of power from positive to negative is what provides the energy to make the IAC, fuel pump relay, or fuel injectors work. No ground provided by the computer, then the actuators and relays don't operate. One side of the any relay/actuator/solenoid in the engine compartment will be connected to a red wire that has 12-14 volts anytime the ignition switch is in the run position. The other side will have 12-14 volts when the relay/actuator/solenoid isn't turned on. Once the computer turns on the clamp side, the voltage on the computer side of the wire will drop down to 1 volt or less. In order to test the TAD/TAB solenoids, you need to ground the white/red wire on the TAB solenoid or the light green/black wire on the TAD solenoid. For 94-95 cars: the colors are different. The White/Red wire (TAB control) is White/Orange (Pin 31 on the PCM). The Green/Black wire (TAD control) should be Brown (pin 34 at the PCM). Thanks to HISSIN50 for this tip. Testing the system: To test the computer, you can use a test light across the TAB or TAD wiring connectors and dump the codes. When you dump the codes, the computer does a self test that toggles every relay/actuator/solenoid on and off. When this happens, the test light will flicker. Disconnect the big hose from smog pump: with the engine running you should feel air output. Reconnect the smog pump hose & apply vacuum to the first vacuum controlled valve: Its purpose is to either dump the pump's output to the atmosphere or pass it to the next valve. The next vacuum controlled valve directs the air to either the cylinder heads when the engine is cold or to the catalytic converter when the engine is warm. Disconnect the big hoses from the back side of the vacuum controlled valve and start the engine. Apply vacuum to the valve and see if the airflow changes from one hose to the next. The two electrical controlled vacuum valves mounted on the rear of the passenger side wheel well turn the vacuum on & off under computer control. Check to see that both valves have +12 volts on the red wire. Then ground the white/red wire and the first solenoid should open and pass vacuum. Do the same thing to the light green/black wire on the second solenoid and it should open and pass vacuum. Remember that the computer does not source power for any actuator or relay, but provides the ground necessary to complete the circuit. That means one side of the circuit will always be hot, and the other side will go to ground or below 1 volt as the computer switches on that circuit. The computer provides the ground to complete the circuit to power the solenoid valve that turns the vacuum on or off. The computer is located under the passenger side kick panel. Remove the kick panel & the cover over the computer wiring connector pins. Check Pin 38 Solenoid valve #1 that provides vacuum to the first Thermactor control valve for a switch from 12-14 volts to 1 volt or less. Do the same with pin 32 solenoid valve #2 that provides vacuum to the second Thermactor control valve. Starting the engine with the computer jumpered to self test mode will cause all the actuators to toggle on and off. If after doing this and you see no switching of the voltage on and off, you can start testing the wiring for shorts to ground and broken wiring. An Ohm check to ground with the computer connector disconnected & the solenoid valves disconnected should show open circuit between the pin 32 and ground and again on pin 38 and ground. In like manner, there should be less than 1 ohm between pin 32 and solenoid valve #2 and pin 38 & Solenoid valve #1. If after checking the resistance of the wiring & you are sure that there are no wiring faults, start looking at the solenoid valves. If you disconnect them, you can jumper power & ground to them to verify operation. Power & ground supplied should turn on the vacuum flow, remove either one and the vacuum should stop flowing. Typical resistance of the solenoid valves is in the range of 20-70 Ohms. Theory of operation: Catalytic converters consist of two different types of catalysts: Reduction and Oxidation. The Reduction catalyst is the first converter in a 5.0 Mustang, and the Oxidation converter is the second converter. The Oxidation converter uses the extra air from the smog pump to burn the excess HC. Aftermarket converters that use the smog pump often combine both types of catalysts in one housing. Since all catalytic reactions depend on heat to happen, catalytic converters do not work as efficiently with long tube headers. The extra length of the long tubes reduces the heat available to operate the O2 sensors and the catalytic converters. That will cause emissions problems, and reduce the chances of passing an actual smog test. Now for the Chemistry... "The reduction catalyst is the first stage of the catalytic converter. It uses platinum and rhodium to help reduce the NOx emissions. When an NO or NO2 molecule contacts the catalyst, the catalyst rips the nitrogen atom out of the molecule and holds on to it, freeing the oxygen in the form of O2. The nitrogen atoms bond with other nitrogen atoms that are also stuck to the catalyst, forming N2. For example: 2NO => N2 + O2 or 2NO2 => N2 + 2O2 The oxidation catalyst is the second stage of the catalytic converter. It reduces the unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide by burning (oxidizing) them over a platinum and palladium catalyst. This catalyst aids the reaction of the CO and hydrocarbons with the remaining oxygen in the exhaust gas. For example: 2CO + O2 => 2CO2 There are two main types of structures used in catalytic converters -- honeycomb and ceramic beads. Most cars today use a honeycomb structure." Quote courtesy of How Stuff Works (HowStuffWorks "Catalysts") What happens when there is no extra air from the smog pump... As engines age, the quality of tune decreases and wear causes them to burn oil. We have all seem cars that go down the road puffing blue or black smoke from the tailpipe. Oil consumption and poor tune increase the amount of HC the oxidation catalyst has to deal with. The excess HC that the converters cannot oxidize due to lack of extra air becomes a crusty coating inside the honeycomb structure. This effectively reduces the size of the honeycomb passageways and builds up thicker over time and mileage. Continuous usage under such conditions will cause the converter to fail and clog. The extra air provided by the Thermactor Air System (smog pump) is essential for the oxidation process. It oxidizes the added HC from oil consumption and poor tune and keeps the HC levels within acceptable limits. Newer catalytic converters do not use the Thermactor Air System (smog pump) because they are designed to work with an improved computer system that runs leaner and cleaner They add an extra set of O2 sensors after the catalytic converters to monitor the oxygen and HC levels. Using this additional information, the improved computer system adjusts the air/fuel mixture for cleaner combustion and reduced emissions. If the computer cannot compensate for the added load of emissions due to wear and poor tune, the catalytic converters will eventually fail and clog. The periodic checks (smog inspections) are supposed to help owners keep track of problems and get them repaired. Use them on an 86-95 Mustang and you will slowly kill them with the pollutants that they are not designed to deal with.

I just had .4mL (half a syringe for $325) of Restylane injected into my upper lip for the first time on Friday (1 day ago). I wanted to post my experience because I did a lot of research prior to my injections and went into my appointment scared as hell and nervous that I would come out looking like a freak, or wouldn't be able to go to work the following Monday. My experience has so far been extremely positive. For the first two hours after the injections, I looked like someone had hit me in the mouth with a bat. However, as soon as the lidocaine started to wear off, I noticed significant improvement in the swelling. The pain was minimal during the procedure and minimal during recovery-- mostly just tenderness. I took some tylenol and iced my lip for 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off for a few hours and then went to bed. When I woke up the next morning I had almost no swelling. I was able to go out in public without embarassment and now -- 24 hours post-op, I feel and look 90% normal. If I have any complaints, it's that my lip isn't that different after injection! My husband swears that he can tell the difference, and I can, too, when I compare my new smile to old smiles in photos. I guess what I am trying to say, is that this has been a positive experience that left me with subtle enhancement -- not a real noticeable alterment. I doubt anyone will say anything about my lips at work on Monday. I would recommend this amount of restylane to anyone seeking subtle improvement (like actually HAVING an upper lip in photos).

Evaluation of spurious results in the infrared measurement of CO2 isotope ratios due to spectral effects: a computer simulation study
C.D.Mansfield and H.N.Rutt
Infrared Science and Technology Group, University of Southampton, UK
The application of infrared spectroscopy to the measurement of carbon isotope ratio breath tests is a promising alternative to conventional techniques, offering relative simplicity and lower costs. However, when designing such an instrument one should be conscious of several spectral effects that may be misinterpreted as changes in the isotope concentration and which therefore lead to spurious results. Through a series of computer simulations which model the behaviour of the CO2 absorption spectrum, the risk these effects pose to reliable measurement of 13CO2=12CO2 ratios and the measures required to eliminate them are evaluated. The computer model provides a flexible high-resolution spectrum of the four main isotopomer fundamental transitions and fifteen of their most significant hotband transitions. It is demonstrated that the infrared source, infrared windows and breath sample itself all exhibit strong temperature-induced errors but pressure effects do not produce significant errors. We conclude that for reliable measurement of 13CO2=12CO2 ratios using infrared spectroscopy no pressure controls are required, window effects are eliminated using windows wedged at a minimum angle of 0.8-2.2 mrad, depending on the material, and the temperature sensitivity of source and gas cells necessitates stabilization to an accuracy of at least 0.2 K.

Mayor Calls on Senate to Reconsider Vote for Statewide Property Tax
April 17, 2002
PORTSMOUTH, NH – Mayor Evelyn Sirrell, leader of the 32 Coalition Communities fighting to overturn the statewide property tax, Wednesday called on the State Senate to reconsider its vote to send HB1462 to "legislative limbo" and instead stand tall for the voters of New Hampshire on Thursday by giving them the opportunity to elect candidates based on their plans for solving the education funding crisis.
"As far as I'm concerned, the 13 Senators who voted to send HB1462 to legislative limbo by calling for another useless study of a tax everyone knows is a horrible tax are 13 Senators who voted to keep the statewide property tax even though we all know it's hurting Donor and Receiver towns, alike.
"I am going to ask my Coalition to work as hard as it can to elect candidates for the next Legislature who aren't afraid to let the voters decide how to fund an adequate education," she said.
"And we're going to make sure that all those other towns that aren't Donors but are hurting from this too – Receiver towns getting less in education funding and Receiver towns paying a whole lot more in property taxes because this system is tied to property tax values – know just how these Senators are not standing up for the voters of New Hampshire by hiding behind excuses. If those Senators won't reconsider their vote on Thursday, they're saying to everyone that they don't care what happens in our towns.
"What are these Senators so afraid of? Why aren't they listening to their House colleagues or our citizens? Why are they calling us fiscally irresponsible to favor this repeal? They're fiscally irresponsible because they won't do their jobs and say 'no' to this tax so the next Governor and Legislature can come up with a permanent and fair solution to the education funding problem."
Thursday is the final day for the Senate to act on legislation approved by the House. The Senate on Tuesday voted 13-11 to set up a study committee to study the issue, rather than repeal it.
HB1462, which would sunset the statewide property tax as of Jan. 1, 2004, was approved by the House on March 7 and more than 35 people testified in support of it before the Senate Finance Committee on Friday, April 12.

HILLVIEW - Past requests for annexation and rezonings have never been easy for the Rogers Group, owner of Bullitt County Stone.
But as the company seeks to have over 300 acres annexed into the Hillview corporate limits, one of its major opponents will no longer be in opposition.
The Hillview City Council will decide at its Nov. 21 meeting whether to annex over 300 acres into its corporate limits.
The property, owned by the Bates family, is being purchased by the Rogers Group.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - When Bullitt County Public School Board members hosted a public hearing on a tax increase a couple of months ago, there were several concerned citizens who spoke.

Instead, it was areas where they felt waste were occurring.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A second person is now facing charges in the alleged abuse of a 2-year-old boy.

Goblins galore; there's even a My Little Pony
Updated 7:15 am, Friday, November 1, 2013
The rain didn't do it, but the streets of San Antonio were flooded Thursday night with trick-or-treaters — older ones loaded into SUVs, cruising around in search of the best houses, while younger ones, skeptical of the promise of candy, were led around by eager parents.
In the Woodlawn Lake neighborhood, Luis Alvarado, his wife, Valerie, and their four children all wore homemade costumes, most of them inspired by the animated children's film "Despicable Me." Alvarado's two oldest children branched out.
"I'm not Zelda, she's the princess," said 9-year-old Melanie, quickly correcting a presumptive reporter. "I'm Link."
Luis Alvarado even carved a wooden sword for his oldest daughter to wield. Emily, 7, dressed as "My Little Pony."
For nearly a decade, Salvador Arreola has used Halloween as a chance to transform his backyard at the corner of Ashby and Elmendorf into a hall of horrors for the neighborhood to explore.
News Channel
The 31-year-old father of two mostly makes his own props, and has recruited both his wife and sister-in-law as models for his creations — wrapping their bodies in plastic wrap, then tape, then using that mold as a base for a papier-mâché finish.
His wife's mold was transformed into a headless bride; his sister-in-law's was used for a mummy.
"Last year, I was a 9-foot-tall zombie," he said, showing off a pair of stilts he planned to wear again. "There was a little boy who came through, and I was being really still, then I started moving towards him and he dropped all his candy and ran out. That's the best."
In Monte Vista, three NBA fans roamed the streets seeking treats.
Kenny Albritton, 21, and brothers Jorge, 17, and Miguel Rodriguez, 18, dressed up as a who's-who of conventionally anti-Spurs villains.
Albritton sported a Phoenix Suns jersey from the Charles Barkley era. Barkley has been humorously critical of San Antonio.
The Rodriguez brothers dressed as Derek Fisher and Ray Allen, two players known for making last-second, heartbreaking shots against the Spurs.
"Our dad lives in Dallas, so we grew up Mavs fans," Jorge Rodriguez explained. "It's nothing personal, just something funny we've been planning for a while."

About LUC Ranch
LUC Boys Ranch is located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains in Southwest Missouri. The Ranch was founded by Ken and Sheila Ortman in 1982 with the premise that because God created each person with a purpose, each boy who comes to the Ranch is worth saving and can develop to his full potential with God's help. The Ranch began with a vision to make it possible for troubled boys to have a second chance at life by changing their behavior patterns. We believe that this begins by demonstrating God's love to them through words and actions. Accomplishments at the Ranch are based on two basic principles: that God can change lives in miraculous ways, and that good work habits are important for building character, self-esteem, and self-discipline.
The boys who come to LUC Boys Ranch have the opportunity to experience and learn the joy that comes from living in a Christian family environment, where they can feel love and acceptance. Each person makes mistakes in life, and these boys have the freedom at the Ranch to learn which choices they make produce rewards or consequences.
For most boys, The Ranch will become their home, away for home for the next 15 to 18 months while they get rid of old habits and learn new ways of dealing with peer pressure, stress, saying no, taking authority, etc. These boys also re-build family relationships, except in a few occasions when that isn't possible and then they become a part of the Ranch family and are with us until they can become independent.
There are times when families cannot afford Residential treatment and therefore we are looking for those who care to help make it possible for all boys to have the opportunity to change their lives around.

So far, emergency European funding has been impossible to exit. Rather than act as a catalyst for crowding in private capital needed to restore growth, and financial viability, public money has provided the private sector with the possibility to exit programme countries at a much lower cost; and exit it did. As a result, governments have become highly dependent on official aid to cover their budget needs, meet interest obligations and roll over maturing debt; and domestic companies have been starved of the oxygen that is so critical for investment and job creation.

Mustard Yellow and Leopard Print Street Style
Look of the Day: Not-So-Mellow Yellow
What do you get when you mix a little leopard print, a little yellow, and a lot of glamorous gold? You get one superstylish ensemble by Fab reader atlanticpacific. I love how she paired a silky leopard-print top with a not-so-mellow mustard yellow sweater, Theory pants, and black patent leather heels. The pops of gold from her chunky chains and bangles add the perfect amount of flash.
Congrats to atlanticpacific!
Everyone else, submit your looks, and I might feature you on FabSugar!

About 2 weeks ago, I had the same situation! I even accused my 5-year-old of somehow bringing about it's demise! Then two days later, I turned on the light and there it was again! I thought it was a ghost!
I finally figured out that it had been hiding out inside the plastic "rock" formation in the center of our tank. There is a hole in the bottom and I guess it burrowed through the gravel to get to it.

Pacific Rim Bureau (CNSNews.com) - Asia-Pacific leaders have ended a two-day summit in Thailand by announcing a series of policies aimed at enhancing the fight against terrorism.
The 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders also called Tuesday a revival of world trade talks, which stalled in Cancun, Mexico, last month; and for a negotiated end to the North Korean nuclear standoff.
Originally designed as an economic forum for countries on either side of the Pacific Ocean, APEC gatherings have become increasingly political in recent years, a development that has caused unease among some members.
The U.S. succeeded in its aim of having terrorism and North Korea feature prominently at the Bangkok talks. The instability caused by both issues is widely recognized as having a significant economic impact on the region.
The end-of-summit declaration said transnational terrorism and weapons of mass destruction proliferation posed "direct and profound challenges" and threatened economies.
The leaders undertook to "dismantle, fully and without delay, transnational terrorist groups that threaten the APEC economies" and to "eliminate the severe and growing danger posed by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery."
Among the policies to combat terrorism are the establishment of a regional fund to help developing members improve port security and tackle money laundering and terrorist financing.
Another initiative is a system to exchange information on international travelers.
Called an advance passenger information (API) system, it will allow real-time exchange of data on intending passengers between departure and destination ports.
Six APEC members -- the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Thailand -- committed themselves to implementing API systems, while others are looking into doing so.
A related initiative, proposed by Australia and to be explored further, envisages a system that would allow authorities to check travelers against pooled records of terrorists and criminals, and check their travel documents against records of lost, stolen or fraudulent papers.
The leaders also vowed to confront the threat posed by terrorists getting their hands on portable surface-to-air missiles.
Although North Korea was not on the official agenda for the meeting, the U.S. worked hard to have the summit pay attention to the communist country's nuclear ambitions.
The final declaration did not refer directly to North Korea, although the chairman, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, read a verbal statement afterwards on the issue.
"We seek a peaceful resolution through dialogue while addressing all the concerns of the parties including the security concerns raised by [North Korea]," it said.
The statement also calling for a resumption of six-party talks which failed in an earlier round to break the deadlock between U.S. and others' demands for an end to Pyongyang's nuclear program, and North Korea's demands for a non-aggression pact from Washington.
North Korea was also the topic in bilateral meetings Bush held with his Chinese and South Korean counterparts on the sidelines of the summit.
After Bush's talks with South Korea's Roh Moo-hyun, the two issued a statement calling for a quick resumption of the six-party talks, and urged Pyongyang to "refrain from any action which would exacerbate the situation."
Last week, North Korea warned it would conduct a test to prove its nuclear weapons capability, the latest in a series of threats and actions since the crisis over its nuclear ambitions erupted a year ago.
The president has reiterated his refusal of a formal non-aggression pact with North Korea, but suggested that a pledge of some type may be possible.
Secretary of State Colin Powell said in Bangkok that the U.S. had presented its allies with "expanded ideas" on how North Korea could be given security assurances, short of the non-aggression pact Pyongyang is demanding.
The initiative would commit the other five countries directly involved in talks - the U.S., China, Japan, South Korea and Russia - jointly to pledge not to invade North Korea, in return for an end to its nuclear program.

Chapter Mastery Править
Each chapter has a number of requirements to be completed in order to fully master it. These requirements are:
- Quests (Tasks)
- Deploy Mission
- Incursion
- Heroic Battle
- Challenge Mode
- Epic Boss
Mastering all the requirements yields various rewards for the player.
Mission DifficultyПравить
Each Missions, with a couple exceptions, now permanently set the difficulty to the Agent level when the Mission was first played and completed. This means that for example, a Level 100 Agent runs Mission 1 of Season 2 for the first time, the difficulty is permanently set to Level 100 even when the Agent has Leveled up since.
This change does not affect Premium Missions, as their difficulty is still set to the current Agent's Level. Missions that are set to Challenge Mode are also not affected, as the difficulty is set to the current Agent's Level plus 10 Levels.
- Story: Season 2 and its first Chapter premiered on August 1, 2013.
- There are twelve confirmed Chapters for Season 2.

Schedule Release Day is the Best DaySeptember 12th, 2012 Posted in Mets games, Road Trips, Schedule
Whether it's baseball, hockey or football, I always get excited when a season schedule is announced, especially since I don't live in the city of my main team. I like to circle when NHL teams from the East come to Chicago. In baseball, I have wild dreams of making a bunch of road trips to here, there and somewhere inbetween. The Mets schedule for 2013 does not disappoint.
I intially looked over the schedule at Mets.com and I went month-by-month looking at the road games. The trip to Minnesota for the Twins in April stood out instantly. Target Field is one of the new stadiums I've been wanting to see a game at and the series is over my birthday weekend. It works perfectly for a road trip.
My next bit of excitement was for a weekend Cubs series at Wrigley in May. This is the one time a year I know I step foot in that stadium, and it's finally over a weekend. No need to take days off at work.
A few weeks later, at the end of June, the Mets return to Chicago for a two-game series against the White Sox. This might excite me more than the Cubs series. I absolutely love seeing games at US Cellular Field, and it'll be great to finally see the Mets play there.
I next noticed a July weekend where the Mets travel to Milwaukee to face the Brewers. Admittedly, I've only seen the Mets play there once in my five years of living in Chicago, so it's low on the priority list. Next season might be different because it's conveniently over a weekend.
Moving to August, there's is the possibility for a fantastic West Coast trip starting in Arizona, continuing to Los Angeles and concluding in San Diego. I've been to Dodger Stadium once, about seven years ago. Nik has never been, and I want to go again. We'll keep this trip on our minds, but it wouldn't be cheap to do.
The last road series that really caught my eye is in early September, when the Mets visit the Indians. I know the city and stadium aren't much to get excited over but I've never been. If I'm going to make a trip there, I'd like it to be for when my team plays. This series is a little tricky because of busy season at work, but I'd like to make one game if timing allows.
Previously announced is the All-Star Game at Citi Field in mid-July. Tickets will be pricey, but at the minimum, I hope to be in New York during the festivities. I'm sure it'll be a great time for the players, teams and tje city.
I really think this 2013 schedule excites me more than any in recent history. It probably helps that each league has an equal number of teams now and interleague play is more spread out through the season. Now we just have to hope the Mets field a strong team.
I believe. Do you? And what series are you looking forward to the most?

About MeI have just recently started out in the photography industry. I find my style to be unique in its own way as any artist would, I am very interested in working with different techniques and poses in various settings. I also prefer to work with human model and have more of a taste for the fun, sassy shots rather than simple portraits. Although I work with both. I am hoping to continue in my learning and focus on my talent through this site as well, I hope that other photographers and models may give me some constructive criticism on my photos and that I may learn from there art as well.

service was great front desk and bar staff, good location, the pillows were un comfortable i really need to stress that that would be the only reason why i would not stay there again as above the pillows
The design of the hotel was fantastic also the little extras that you get were great
The rooms are lovely, compact and neat. The bed was extremley comfortable!! Looking forward to staying again but for longer next time! Just the construction next door in the morning!
The reception staff were exceptionally helpful when I found myself with an unexpected 4 hours to kill before my flight back to Melbourne. They went above and beyond with thier advice, and please tell them the Crue Bar was fantistic.
Staff were professional and friendly Only small issue - no milk in the fridge - rang reception to ask for milk - milk never arrived, so missed out on a coffee I was looking forward to.
the simplicity of the hotel,with a classie touch Room one, the shower flooded
It was so new! The room had a great layout, I particularly liked having the bench seat near the bed to keep my things on. The staff was also incredibly helpful, on 4 different occasions I needed something and they exceeded my expectations. The entrance is kind of hidden away. Also, it was great to have a balcony but the view of a car dealership isn't necessarily the most pleasant. There were some beautiful jacaranda trees outside that made up for it, though.
Very very good room with kitchen and ensuite bathroom. Big and really clean. Nice staff. Friendly for luggage store. Cheap room. Little far to city center.
The front desk was very helpful, Coach trans dropped me off within 1 min walking distance to hotel. Little further from the CBD than i thought, but not that bad if you don't mind walking a little bit...
Close to hospital and Public Transport
It's close proximity to the work site I was visiting. Did not like the room given to me because the air conditioning was not working, the bed was not comfortable, the TV set was very old and the reception was very bad.
The resident managers were always cheerful, and helpful within their capacity. The entire property and grounds are rundown and poorly maintained. Cable tv and wireless internet is advertised but reception was unreliable and vitually unusable. The main reception area is small and smells strongly of cigarette smoke.
Pleasant staff. Very helpfull. Great location and affordable. Hard bed
The helpfulness of wayne and especially Joshua stood out. They were responsive to needs and available well outsode the suggested office hours. The hotel was basic, possibly in need of an overhaul but certainly sufficient as a place to sleep and drnk a few beers. The state some of the other guests left the communal facility in after hours. Overall happy with the facility.
It was close to the Royal Women s Hospital Their was know information on where you could could go to get something to eat or for Dinner when you don't have transport, and shower needs to be fixed
The reason for my stay was the close location of the Royal Brisbane Hospital.The proximity to China Town was good,as I did not want to drive after parking--and could walk down for my dinner.After my medical procedure it was a quiet place to rest before driving back home.I was a bit disapointed that I could not order a hot breakfast.Could this be that management are not prepared to pay the extra wage cost involved with providing this service?
The rudest, unprofessional staff I have ever seen. I don't know how he got into a duty manager position. I stayed in all kind of places due I travel a lot - Hostels to 5 Star Hotels and I clearly know what to expect. This is hell even my mum and my grandmother who traveled with me have never seen something horrible and disappointing like this. Do yourself a favor and don't book a room here hostels a better than this place. Waste of time and money
The bed was comfy and the room had all we needed. Great location. Friendly staff.
Rooms are very small but ok for short stay, comfortbale bed low traffic noise. Can hear other guests comming in or if they are noisy, didnt stop us sleeping though.

The Issue: Supplemental Assistance for Low-Income Families
Even when low-income families receive food stamps, many of them still struggle to afford critical non-food items such as toiletries. Madisonville Education and Assistance Center's Choice Food Pantry stocks hygiene items and cleaning products—as well as food—to better serve these families.
The Campaign: Providing Toiletries to Families in Need
If $35 people donate $10 to this Grassroots campaign, then the Madisonville Education and Assistance Center can provide hygiene items to 70 underserved families. Each additional $10 donation will provide these items to two more families. Hygiene kits include toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, razors, shampoo, deodorant, and other toiletries.
Check out more Groupon Grassroots campaigns here.
Madisonville Education and Assistance Center
In partnership with more than 20 community churches, the Ohio State University Extension, and the city of Cincinnati, the Madisonville Education and Assistance Center (MEAC) provides vital assistance to individuals and families in need. MEAC distributes donated food and clothing and offers rent and utility assistance to underserved members of the community. In 2011, MEAC served more than 3,900 families through its Choice Food Pantry, which provides cleaning products and toiletries in addition to food.

Internationally renowned DJ Havana Brown will fly direct from the United States to perform at the Australia Celebrates Live concert in Canberra on the eve of Australia Day.
She will join singer-songwriters Matt Corby, Megan Washington and Lior on the lawns of Parliament House on Saturday week.
Brown is obviously in demand - the Australian-born musician is also playing a gig in Brisbane later the same night. Her performance at the Eatons Hill Hotel in Brisbane is not due to start until 11pm, which means she will take to the stage in both the ACT and Queensland in one night.
The Canberra event encompasses the Australian of the Year awards and will start at 5pm with a one-hour tribute to the outgoing recipients. The concert is due to start after 7pm. A spokeswoman said Brown had been booked first to appear in Brisbane but her team then made her available for the Canberra event as well.
National Australia Day Council chief executive Jeremy Lasek said he was confident the big concert would have something for everyone.
''We really pride ourselves on delivering an event that appeals to all ages,'' he said.
''With Havana Brown on the same bill as Matt Corby, Megan Washington and Lior, we are in for a night of incredible performances that showcase the diversity of our home-grown Australian talent.''

Good grief, more Twitter-Google news from the Chirp conference! Google has launched something called Google Follow Finder, a tool designed to help you identify Twitter users you might enjoy following. Enter your Twitter handle, and it'll list people who tend to be followed by followers of people you follow-I think I have that wording right-as well as people who follow the same people you do.
Unfortunately, Google Follow Finder may be too good at identifying folks you should be following. I'm not sure if my experience was typical, but when I tried it, it looked as if it made no attempt to determine whether I was already following anyone it mentioned. Consequently, the vast majority of recommendations it made were for accounts that already rank among my favorites (actually, eighty percent or so were personal friends, colleagues, and acquaintances).
As Google's blog post on Follow Finder notes, you can also enter names of Twitter users besides yourself-ones you already know you like-and find new people to follow that way. But the venerable Mr. Tweet, which has a similar mission, seems to be much better at analyzing your own Twitter data and telling you about people you don't already know you like.
If you try the service and have better results than I did, let me know...

Higgins, D.M. (2003) British manufacturing financial performance, 1950-79: Implications for the productivity debate and the post-war consensus. Business History, 45 (3). pp. 52-71. ISSN 0007-6791
This article applies accounting rates of return (ROCE) to the debate on the post-war consensus. Using a sample which contains over 39,000 company years divided between 15 manufacturing industries, we examine the speed and extent of convergence in ROCE through time, between industries, and between firms. We find there is some support for the Broadberry-Crafts argument that anti-competitive practices, enshrined in the post-war consensus, appear to have hindered the efficient working of the economy and, by implication, the reallocation of resources to their most profitable uses. However, this support depends crucially upon the type of measurement adopted. We find that the Broadberry-Crafts argument works best when applied to differences in ROCE between industries rather than firms. We suggest that differences in ROCE between firms can be equally well explained by appeal to the resource based view of the firm.

Sonia shows in Guadeloupe, St Lucia
Sonia Noel's new Black and White collection proved a big hit with the French patrons at the show 'Kreyol Fashion Days' in Guadeloupe, where she also had the opportunity to meet and dialogue with the illustrious French designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
Sonia says Gaultier was smitten with her signature braided hairstyle. "It was great meeting Jean Paul Gaultier and chatting with him for a while. His advice is to be true to yourself and never forget where you came from. Guyana had the smallest contingent there… but I represented well."
She had previously shown at a charitable benefit in St Lucia supporting 'Faces of Cancer' under the patronage of Alvina Reynolds, the Minister of Health, Wellness, Human Services and Gender Relations. This event brought together cancer patients and survivors, medical practitioners, pharmacists and corporate St Lucia to 'Strut for a Cause'.
The show was held at Sandals Grande and Sonia was the feature designer with four supporting fashion houses – longstanding St Lucian staple, Sea Island Cotton; newcomer, Nella Collymore's Caribbean Vibes; St Lucian-based California designer Dianne Starr with her line 'Transformations' and the toast of St Lucia, Sharleen Lagon, with her Jaeylu Inc label.
Sonia's Mariska's Designs outfitted Minister of Commerce, Business Development, Investment and Consumer Affairs Emma Hippolyte as well as Reynolds, who made guest appearances on the runway to endorse the project. Mariska's also outfitted Jeanille Bonterre for her travel series, promoting the exoticism, romance, adventure, sophistication and luxury of the Caribbean aired on One Caribbean Television, a CBS affiliate.
Meanwhile, Mariska's Designs was presented with the President's Award "For Continuous Expansion and Market Penetration for Guyanese Fashion Design" at the Annual Awards Dinner of the Guyana Manufacturing and Services Association Limited. Shonta Noel, Sonia's younger daughter, accepted the award on behalf of her mother.

text: Morgan Family Makes Provision for Major Estate Gift to benefit scholarships As part of Hold Thy Banner High: The Campaign for the Students of Murray State University, Gary and Barbara Morgan's establishment of an estate gift of $2 million to Murray State University is a chance for the Morgans to leave a legacy that will impact students of MSU. The "Gary A. and Barbara J. Morgan Endowed Scholarship" to be funded in the future by their estate was recently established to aid future Murray State University students who participated in four semesters of high school band programs. In this group, further preference is given to those students who worked in part-time jobs, as well. Gary and Barbara Morgan are Licensed Clinical Social Workers in Indiana who have chosen Murray, Kentucky as their retirement home. The Morgans practiced psychotherapy in a private setting for many years, working with families and individuals of all ages. In the course of their work, they were able to make a few observations about the populations with whom they worked. One such observation involved high school students and band programs; specifically, high school students who participated in high school band appeared to have greater self-discipline, a better work ethic, and greater motivation and loyalty to others than non-band students. It was further observed that these students lived in families where the financial need for educational assistance was greater. These students frequently held part-time jobs, as well. It appeared that band students were less likely to receive considerable assistance as did their peers who excelled in academic achievement or sports. "Throughout our career we have noticed that adolescents seem to benefit from band participation," Gary Morgan said. "It seems that many of them are more grounded and more responsible. We also realize that adolescents who participate in band are also less privileged because band programs have to raise their own funds in order to participate." While the Morgans are in partial retirement, they are able to spend more time at their lake home in Murray and make certain observations about Murray State University. It was noted that the faculty and staff they met were genuinely caring individuals focused on the welfare of the university's students. The university as a whole appeared to hold high academic standards and was also celebrated each year in the national press as one of the most cost-effective institutions of higher learning in the nation. Gary Morgan said he attended a smaller university as an undergraduate and a larger state school as a graduate student. "I had a much better experience at the smaller university than the larger one," Gary Morgan said. "There are some institutions where the people make the university great and we think Murray State is one of those institutions." Barbara Morgan said that since she and her husband have been residents of Murray, they have noticed that Murray State serves students who wouldn't have access to higher education otherwise. "Murray State gives students with financial need access to higher education and it seems to be a great university with a wide range of programs," Barbara Morgan said. "We wanted to donate to a school that really served students who needed the help and who were getting a quality education at an affordable price." For these reasons, the Morgans settled on Murray State University and these scholarship endowment guidelines when contemplating their estate planning. The Morgans have great confidence the previously mentioned student population and Murray State University will be a good match. Bob Jackson, Associate Vice President of Development and Governmental Relations said, "Barbara and Gary Morgan have made plans for an extremely generous estate gift that will benefit future students. The Morgans have set the bar very high on what it means to give back and have created a wonderful example of charitable gift planning as part of one's estate plans." "This will do more good for more people than anything else we could do," Gary Morgan said. "We are gratified that we are able to do something we feel will make a real difference to the students of this university."

How do you alter the *format* of

But that is all that a Memo (or more
correctly a Memo segment), is: a
free-form text field. The whole point
of ANY memo is exactly what you said,
always, as long as by "instance" you
mean "Tag". (It is possible to output
a Memo segment many times for one
Tag, in different Role sentences.)
> (In either type of use, the punctuation should stay as we put it within
> our Memo entry.)
Except for the standard case in
which a Memo ends a sentence, I
agree. If a Memo does end a
sentence, I might still agree;
but I might not. It depends. In
those cases I want the computer
to do the work, *provided* I have
a way to easily assert control.

Grad Year: 2015
Why attend MU: I was looking for a smaller school involved with its community, as well as one that had professors who cared for their students. I found that at MU.
Favorite thing: Being an MU student allows you to get involved with as many interests as you want. You are not limited to the interests of only your major.
Never expected: Here at MU I have been given access to in-class experience as a first-year to ensure that teaching is really what I want to do. This is a rarity and a major benefit as well as unique to this school.I found: At Manchester University, I found the resources to make my future dream a work in progress.

Sharon Osbourne Admits to Past Fling With Jay Leno
Talk about TMI.
Sharon Osbourne dropped quite a bombshell this week on her CBS talk show, The Talk, when she revealed that she slept with Jay Leno before she got together with rocker and current husband, Ozzy Osbourne.
"One thing led to another," she told her co-hosts. "He actually came to my house and met me, and then we had a little fling."
"The fling was more fling for me than and not fling enough for him because a couple of months into it he brought around his real love of his life for me to meet."
But don't worry, Osbourne wasn't hurt by the experience at all. Instead, she
even got a free meal out of it only had praises for Leno's now-wife Mavis, who married the late night comedian in 1980.
"She was lovely and took me to Fatburger and they showed me around town," Osbourne recalled. "They were so kind to me and continued a friendship over the years."
Well, it sure looks like everyone got their happy ending. No pun intended.
