For smooth operation and durability, any roll up door has a lot riding on its hinges. And no others give you the strengths you get from TODCO.
Center roller position. TODCO puts the rollers where they work best: in the center of the hinge. This gives a distinct advantage over off-center placement, which isn't as smooth and can take its toll on hinge and panel life. With TODCO, the door's action as it glides through the radius is without a hitch.
Innovative four-knuckled design. It delivers greater impact resistance and creates a smoother axis as the panels rotate. Both result in longer hinge and panel life as well as easier operation.
Recessed installation. The knuckles are recessed into the door panels to prevent freight hang-up and possible door damage.
Weather resistant options.TODCO gives you more options four to match weather and wear conditions. Choose from stainless steel, or high-strength steel that's yellow chromate, zinc or e-coated.
All in all, as you compare TODCO's roll up door quality, durability and value, hinges are another place where TODCO raises the standards.

With revenue caught in a squeeze play between compressed margins and tightened regulations, what's a credit union to do? Jim Burson provides tactics for three options in "Revenue Growth Homer." A baseball lover and senior director with CUES Supplier member and partner Cornerstone Advisors, Scottsdale, Ariz., Burson describes what it takes to hit singles (organic growth), doubles/triples (CUSO opportunities), and home runs (mergers).
I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I do remember many of the players from the Milwaukee Brewers' glory years in the early 1980s. I especially recall third baseman Paul Molitor, not so much for his position play but for his role as "The Ignitor." As leadoff hitter, Molitor sparked rallies that led to Milwaukee's only American League pennant and World Series appearance, both in 1982.
Marketing serves as the igniter in credit unions, bringing the brand to life for both staff and members. In "Optimizing Opportunity," author Karen Bankston looks at what some U.S. and Canadian credit unions are doing to bring in the runs, whether they be from singles, doubles or the occasional homer.
$847 million Texas Trust Credit Union, Mansfield, for example, is playing off its commitment to connect with each community it serves to grow organically and via merger. On the organic front, the CU is pulling out all the stops to reach University of Texas-Arlington students with an athletic sponsorship, a new branch, ATMs, a unique fee schedule and an affinity debit card. At the same time, the CU is working to integrate members acquired through a merger with a former General Motors credit union by forging ties with a GM retiree club and union.
The goal: stronger, deeper relationships. "We have 66 percent of our members engaged with at least two to three products, including active checking accounts," explains Amber Danford, SVP/marketing/business development.
Burson writes that successful organic revenue growth requires organizational alignment, a focus for $360 million North Peace Savings & Credit Union, Fort St. John, British Columbia. Over three years, the CU has reorganized its member service staff, added technology and rolled out a service delivery culture. Result: a 2013 membership increase at double the provincial rate and a 10 percent bump in assets.
Read how four other credit unions are sparking growth.

Six Reasons to Paint Before You Move In
Six Reasons to Paint Before You Move In
Text and photography courtesy of of the Paint Quality Institute, paintquality.com.
Moving to a new house, condo or apartment this spring? Before filling your home with furnishings, there's something you might want to do first: paint. Experts of every stripe—from realtors to authorities on painting—say that one of the very best times to do interior painting is just before moving into a new home. Here are six reasons to paint before you move in, according to Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality Institute:
Reason #1. It's easy now.
Interior painting is a very simple project and not at all physically demanding when you can move freely within a room. Why wait till later when you may have to move heavy furniture from side to side, or work around big items, to do your painting?
Reason #2. It saves time.
Painting can take a lot longer when you have to cover and uncover things, move them back and forth, and take down and re-hang artwork. It's better to paint just before moving and short-circuit these time-consuming and unproductive steps.
Reason #3. It can save you money—and lots of it.
If you're using a professional painting contractor, he or she can complete the work far faster in rooms that are empty. That's extremely important, since time charges for labor typically account for 80% of the cost of painting, according to Zimmer. Bottom line: Calling in a contractor before moving into a home can drastically lower the cost of painting the space, she says.
Reason #4. It safeguards your furnishings.
No matter how carefully you or your contractor work, there is always the chance of a paint spill, or a few stray flecks finding their way onto a prized possession. Painting before bringing in your furnishings keeps these items out of harm's way.
Reason #5. It can simplify interior decorating.
Don't have your furnishings yet? There's no better way to set the stage for your décor than by adding a fresh paint color scheme before decorating. Doing so greatly simplifies the selection of new furniture, carpeting, and accents, allowing you to choose just the right tints, tones, and shades to make your new home picture perfect.
Adding a new coat of paint makes any home seem cleaner, fresher, more welcoming, and best of all. . .more "yours." To keep your paint job looking great, Zimmer recommends the use of top quality 100% acrylic latex paint; it will produce a more stain-resistant finish that will look new-home fresh for years to come.
We hope these six reasons to paint before you move in will get you thinking about painting even before you move into your new abode. If you're sold on the idea, you can find all sorts of color tips and how-to information at blog.paintquality.com or on the Paint Quality Institute's website at paintquality.com.

Edgar Wright Directing Collider
JJ Abrams will produce it
How's this for a genre recipe? Take an idea from Edgar Wright. Add in the producing services of JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot team. Spice things up with I Am Legend writer Mark Protosevich. Empty all those elements into a development pot and simmer. That's exactly what Paramount is doing for Collider, a top-secret new project that the threesome is now working on.
This being something that Edgar "I'm not in San Diego for Ant Man… Ha Ha I am!" Wright and the super-secretive Abrams are involved with, the storyline couldn't be under tighter security. But given the title, we're inclined to assume it's a science fiction tale with a Big Idea, possibly linked to a certain large piece of equipment over at CERN.
Whatever it turns out to be, don't go expecting the film to be Edgar's next gig. He's already busy readying The World's End with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, is in active development on Ant Man for Marvel and is also attached to work on The Night Stalker for Johnny Depp.
Protosevich has written the Oldboy remake that Spike Lee is set to make, and was involved in kicking off work on Jurassic Park IV that Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are now writing. And Abrams? Well, he's still juggling several projects as a producer and is also editing a certain sequel about trekking to the stars…

October 31, 2011
(Saratoga Springs, NY – Nov. 1, 2011) President Alan R. Davis has announced the appointment of Thomas P. Mackey Ph.D., of Albany, as dean of the Center for Distance Learning for State University of New York Empire State College. With over 500 online courses, SUNY Empire State College is the largest provider of online education in the SUNY system, reaching students throughout New York state, every state in the country and internationally. Mackey has served as interim dean for the past year and a half.
"Dean Mackey is ideally suited for this position," said Davis. "As an early adopter of online learning, he has been teaching with the Web for over 15 years and is well-versed in Web 2.0, social media and emerging literacy frameworks. Through his research and writing about metaliteracy, open learning and transparent design in his books, scholarly publications and presentations, he will continue to ensure that SUNY Empire State College is at the forefront of a rapidly changing landscape in open and distance education for adult learners of the 21st century."
Empire State College Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Meg Benke said, "Dean Mackey is a well-respected researcher and writer, with several books and publications related to online learning and information literacy that will allow him to contribute to the academic program, while he manages our online and international initiatives. His strengths in building collaborative partnerships will advance our college- wide efforts in open, blended and online learning."
Dean Mackey said, "I appreciate this opportunity to lead the Center for Distance Learning and International Programs. In moving forward, I will continue to collaborate with our regional center colleagues and with national and international partners. This is an exciting time for online and global education at SUNY Empire State College and for building on our reputation as a mentor-learner open institution."
Dr. Mackey joined the college in 2008 as associate dean for the Center for Distance Learning. Under his leadership, the center expanded partnerships with regional learning centers and the School for Graduate Studies, while building a stronger alliance with International Programs.
As part of these collaborations, Dr. Mackey hired several online faculty for the Niagara Frontier Center and for the recently expanded Metropolitan Center in New York City. He worked with the Northeast Center to locate faculty with online expertise at the new Troy Unit. These partnerships will lead to several blended learning opportunities for the college's students in 2012.
Dr. Mackey forged a closer working relationship with the college's International Programs (now part of the Center for Distance Learning) and welcomed several international delegations to the college, including a recent visit by Rector Justo Pedro Castellanos and Dr. Andres Mateos, dean of General Studies from APEC University UNAPEC, Dominican Republic.
Last year, Dr. Mackey began service as interim dean of the Center for Distance Learning after its founding dean, Meg Benke, Ph.D. was promoted to interim vice provost for global and online learning, and then to provost and vice president for academic affairs for the college.
Dr. Mackey has been a part of the State University of New York for more than 20 years, as a student, teaching assistant, faculty member and administrator. While at the University at Albany, he taught in the first-year experience program Project Renaissance, and was involved in faculty development at the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning as instructional developer and then assistant director for instructional technology.
As a faculty member in the Department of Information Studies in the College of Computing and Information at the University at Albany he made significant contributions to the undergraduate and graduate programs with several courses that combined collaborative Web development and Web 2.0 with information literacy and service learning. This work led to a highly productive research partnership with Distinguished Librarian Trudi E. Jacobson from the University Libraries at the University at Albany. Prior to joining Empire State College as associate dean, Dr. Mackey was associate dean at The Sage Colleges, overseeing the Sage After Work program for adult learners.
Dr. Mackey has expertise in open and distance education and in creating novel approaches to technology-enhanced learning design. He has published four books, co-edited by Trudi E. Jacobson and several peer-reviewed articles in highly regarded journals. His latest book "Teaching Information Literacy Online" was published in 2011 by Neal-Schuman Publishers and includes a Foreword written by Terry Anderson from Athabasca University. This past year he also published the peer reviewed article "Reframing Information Literacy as a Metaliteracy" in College & Research Libraries, the top journal in the field of Library and Information Science.
His most recent article, "Transparency as a Catalyst for Interaction and Participation in Open Learning Environments" was published in the Oct. 2011 edition of First Monday, one of the first open peer-reviewed journals on Internet research.
Dr. Mackey is an active presenter at national and international conferences, with two upcoming presentations at the Sloan Consortium International Conference on Online Learning, Digitally Enhanced Humanities: Using Virtual Media to Create Real Worlds and OERu: Reimagining Our Relationship to Content Through the Design of Collaborative Educational Spaces.
Dr. Mackey earned a Ph.D. in writing, teaching and criticism, his master's degree in English and his bachelor's degree in communication, all from the University at Albany; and an associate degree in liberal arts from Hudson Valley Community College.

Miscalculation costs Monroeville $400K in revenue
Turmoil in the municipal building has cost Monroeville about $400,000 in revenue, the local tax collector says.
When a new millage was being calculated in February, municipal administrators failed to account for the most recent property assessment appeals, which has resulted in a $400,000 shortfall, Monroeville tax collector Pat Fulkerson said. While the shortfall affects the current budget year, council might have to increase the property-tax rate next year to make up the difference, Fulkerson said.
Council members are weighing their options.
Councilwoman Lois Drumheller suggested outsourcing emergency dispatch services to the county, a switch that has been projected to save the municipality about $600,000. Drumheller and Councilman Bernhard Erb voted in favor of moving the dispatch center in January. They were outvoted 5-2.
When Allegheny County reassessed property values in 2012, some Monroeville property owners appealed their assessments. Those who won their appeals pay less in property taxes to Monroeville. The county's most accurate projection of appeals was available to municipal administrators in January, but administrators never factored the estimate into the new millage rate, Fulkerson said.
Monroeville Mayor Greg Erosenko blamed municipal Manager Lynette McKinney.
"Ultimately it's the manager's responsibility to come up with that number," said Erosenko, who has pushed to have McKinney removed from the manager's position.
McKinney could not be reached for comment.
She was appointed to the position in March after working as an administrative assistant to the manager for several years and then, as an interim manager for part of 2012. Her predecessor, Jeff Silka, resigned under pressure from council in late January.
Council adopted the tax rate in early March.
Fulkerson said he told officials in early February that the millage would have to be recalculated before it was approved. He said McKinney then sent him an email asking him to recalculate the millage rate. Fulkerson said he refused.
"There's not a tax collector out there that calculates the millage," he said. "It's not my responsibility to go through (the manager's budget) and through the process to find out what the millage rate is."
He said a disagreement between himself and McKinney around the time that the millage was being calculated also factored in to his decision.
Fulkerson said he was suspended temporarily in February by McKinney after he made a comment at a January council meeting about a possible conflict of interest involving Monroeville finance director Sue Werksmen.
He said the suspension was based on a section of the employee handbook that addresses employee behavior. But Fulkerson said he never was an employee of Monroeville. He said that he worked as an independent contractor when he collected business and earned income taxes.
Drumheller said that regardless of Fulkerson's personal grievances, he should have done more to correct the millage as the elected property tax collector.
"He could have done something," Drumheller said.

Backstage at her hastily planned concert, Amanda Palmer was a force, arriving from the TED Conference a few blocks away with a mass of energy and a blank piece of paper upon which to construct a set list. Outside, people were lined up around the block and then some for the pay-what-you-can fundraiser for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
Ms. Palmer, a musician who famously raised more than $1-million on Kickstarter, is in Vancouver to speak at TED. While here, she decided to mount an off-site show that would feature TED fellows and talkers, local musicians, as well as her husband, novelist Neil Gaiman.
Ms. Palmer tweeted about her TED-edition ninja gig (as she calls them) on Tuesday. Excitement built on social media immediately. Local event producer Sarah Shandl heard about it on Facebook, tweeted at Ms. Palmer Wednesday night, volunteered to help, and Ms. Palmer appointed her stage manager.
"The first time I met her, she was on stage and she asked who I was," Ms. Shandl said backstage at the Vogue Theatre, just before the show. "That was 15 minutes ago."
The barn-raising kind of show was a barnburner, with local musicians such as Geoff Berner and Sam Parton, and TED speakers including football star Chris Kluwe, power poser Amy Cuddy and Chris Hadfield, who brought the house down with Space Oddity. Then Ms. Palmer serenaded him with her song Astronaut.
The Globe and Mail spoke with Ms. Palmer in her dressing room immediately after the three-hour show.
How did you pull that off?
One million Twitter followers.
Why did you want to do this?
I do this all the time. When the Internet really came to be and social networking and Twitter started, I was so excited about the idea of not having to go through third parties to connect with people. And I love doing the work. I'm a weirdo. My idea of a good time is trying to make something chaotic and impossible happen. My favourite thing is watching a surprise manifest. [I] love watching people delight in the spontaneity of life. I just did this in L.A. and Austin and Sydney. This is how I have fun.
And now you're doing it around TED.
Very deliberately. Because the beautiful organizational ballet of TED still leaves you wanting a little bit of this after 10 at night. Everyone talks about chaos theory all day and you want to see it manifest. Also because I love TED and TED gets a lot of heat. And I empathize with anybody who is hated, including an organization like TED, which is highly controversial and takes a lot of flak from everybody. My own personal experience at TED is that it is ultimately doing good in the world. Yes it's a little weird, and yes there are elite bits of it, and yes there are rich people. But my entry points of TED was Jill Bolte Taylor's talk, Susan Cain's talk, Sir Ken Robinson. I had no idea that TED was hated until I went to TED. And I will happily defend TED's existence with all of its flaws.
And part of doing this was my wanting to be a personal bridge between TED and Vancouver. Because TED exists in a complete physical bubble. It's, like, trapped in a building and half of the people that I've met in Vancouver since I came here don't even know that it's on. That made me even more desperate to point to it and say this thing exists; they are not the enemy, they are actually emotional and intellectual allies. You're just going to need to get to know them, and I'm going to have to extract some of the emotional and intellectual cogs from within TED and take them out on the stage in Vancouver and show them to you, so that you understand they're not the illuminati. They're allies.
I've seen a lot of the same people and performances at TED this week and it's a totally different energy here tonight.
Totally. Right. And you know why? They spend a year organizing it. And we put this together today. I'm not advocating against organization. But there's a yin and a yang. There's always a fringe to the festival and making space for both is important.
You say you do this all the time. But was it special tonight?
Usually when I do these gigs I'm speaking to my community and I'm in my own little bubble. Tonight, I literally met 12 of the people onstage within the last 36 hours. And that feels like I'm acting as an actual bridge. All I want to do is show these people to these other people and I've done a little bit of that in the past but I've never done it on this scale.
Is it possible to pick a highlight moment tonight?
Playing a song that I wrote about astronauts to Chris Hadfield – do you need to ask me twice? I died a little inside. Actually, you know what? I take it back. Because that was probably my most selfish moment. I think my favourite moment of the night was sitting on the stage with all these people passing around a bottle of whisky, looking out at the packed-out house and watching Chris Hadfield, an astronaut who loves playing music, be cheered like a rock star. That made me really happy. Because that's a gift that I get to give him.

The debate on the proposed immigration reform bill has now commenced in the Senate, with the Judiciary Committee discussing it.
This is a complicated bill with many aspects to it, and I'm not sure that I am personally comfortable with certain parts of it. I hope to discuss this further in subsequent blogs. What I want to address here is one essential element: the path to citizenship for some 11 million immigrants currently in the country without legal permission (not all Latinos, by the way).
Many, if not most, have been in the U.S. for many years and have been working productively in jobs most American citizens shun because they represent low-paying work. Plus, they now have the "stigma" of being "immigrant jobs."
At the same time, these immigrants and their families live every day with the fear of being apprehended and deported. Indeed, the Obama administration has deported record numbers of immigrants without proper documentation for legal residence.
Recent reports of deportation rumors in California's Central Valley hit this point home. The rumor -- believed to have begun in Madera, Calif., according to the Associated Press, during the last three weeks -- said that immigration officials had undertaken widespread efforts to locate and deport immigrants without legal residency papers. It literally caused panic among these immigrants, many of whom contribute to the rich agricultural economy of the state.
The rumor quickly spread to the areas outside Madera, causing even more apprehension. Parents kept their kids out of school; they stopped going shopping, or going to work, and some even failed to keep medical appointments out of fear of being reported.
At one level, this fear and apprehension is regretful. At the same time, what impresses is the immigrant networking available as the result of cellphones, texting and emails that made it possible for them to communicate with each other and spread the warning. This communication also reached employers, public officials and immigration officials who quickly reacted by noting that the rumors were in fact false.
While the rumors now appear false, the deep concerns they caused were not.
To me, this incident raises the importance of legalizing the status of these immigrants who lived here, worked productively and contributed to American society. Their children go to school with our children, and many are either U.S. citizens or "Dreamers" who have spent nearly all of their lives in this country.
While the legalization aspect of the immigration reform bill is not perfect (it is a temporary legalization that will require several years and fines before an undocumented immigrant can get a green card much less apply for citizenship), still, it will remove this fear and apprehension witnessed in Madera and its surrounding community.
This temporary legalization will at least provide humane conditions for these immigrants to have a more stable and secure life.
As I have often noted in other blogs, test this belief by thinking to yourselves, what would you desire if you were in a similar situation or your kids were in such conditions?
Opponents of legalization call it another form of amnesty — the A word — and that it rewards people who have broken the law. But the response is that these immigrants are not criminals in the way that opponents want to categorize them, but human beings who have crossed a border without authorization, not to criminalize us, but to care for their families and to escape poverty and oppression.
We would do the same thing under similar conditions.
Moreover, as Catholics, we also know that an issue like immigration is not just a legal or economic issue but a moral issue, as well. Scripture and the church's teaching instruct us to help one another, especially the poor and the oppressed. This is the Sermon on the Mount, and we are called to live out Jesus' words, not just selectively but in general.
To me, the saving grace of a complex immigration reform bill is that in a humane and Christian way we help our fellow human beings by relieving them of deep anxieties that no one should have to endure.

In the past, we have had conversations about a "Simpsons" theme park.
A "007" park
A park in Disneyworld devoted to Disney "Villians!"
Even a "Star Wars" park.
The oddest park idea I've heard is a "South Park" park.
Published: September 5, 2006 at 7:07 AMi think it would be fun i think there should be a park devoted to anime or manga or the comicbook industry such a park would be fun it would combine 2 passions love of themeparks and comicbooks
Published: September 5, 2006 at 11:57 AMI would like a park or an area of an existing Disney park to offer a section devoted to the Villians. WDW & Disney in Calif should both offer this when and if developed. As must as we would like, living in Arizona, it is easier cost-wise to get to the California park(s) for us. One day we hope to be able to make it to the Florida attractions to see the amazing extensions to the Disney empire offered there. :)
Published: September 5, 2006 at 1:47 PMthis is an awsome idea.i do martial arts.so a park for bruce lee,the man who made martial arts famous to most of america,is the coolest idea ever
Published: September 7, 2006 at 8:47 AMI think the part about the Bruce Lee robots roaming the park is a bit far-fetched.
With the exception of a few demo-bots (like the ones that are used at Conventions to hand out flyers) and bots like Lucky the Dinosaur, there really haven't been many robots loose out amongst the guests.
On stage or in show is a different matter entirely.
Would I like to see such a thing? Heck, yes!
But, unless they're putting Asimo's in Bruce Lee Costumes, I think its a bit of blue-skying here.
And, I rather doubt that Asimo's movement (though impressive for his technology) would make anyone
think of the fluid movement of Bruce Lee.
I'll believe it when I can walk through the gate and see it.
Published: September 7, 2006 at 4:25 PMWhat kind of weird park could I dream up?
Well, I'm just back from 2 weeks in Italy. How about a park themed to Italian history?
Helenistic-land: Covers 350BC to 0BC.
Sit in a stone theater and watch reenactments of scenes from Iliad and Odyssey.
Use stone tools to shape slabs of marble into great works of art.
Boys are recruited into the Greek army, NAMBLA style.
Imperial Rome land: 0AD to 475AD
We're divided into groups, given weapons, and forced to repress and exploit each other.
Some are selected to be gladiators and forced to fight to the death. Only have to win a dozen fights in a row to win back your freedom.
Dark Ages: 476AD to 1400AD
As we enter the land, waves of barbarians loot and pillage us. We're then fractured into tiny groups and forced to fight each other for the glory and profit of the few most brutal leaders. We turn to the christian religion for protection, only to find it is fractured, curupt and lead by bullies exploiting the people for personal profit. Half the people that survive the wars and religious purges are killed off by plague.
Renaissance land: 1350 to 1500
We forced to paint 472 million images of "Mary with Child" and sculpt 2000 copies of the Pieta (Mary holding dead Jesus).
Foreign Domination land: 1500-1860
France, Spain, Germany and other foreign powers take turns ruling (and clensing through inquisitions and such) the mostly destitue populace.
The one hot spot is Venice, the original SIN CITY where we can find prostitutes, orgies, and many other forms of drunken debauchery. If we get too out of hand there, we're taken through the bridge of sighs to be locked in the prison.
Modern Times land 1860-now
We're finally united into a single hodge-podge kingdom of mismatched parts of cultures and economic disparities in a general stagnant malaze of bigotry and mistrust. Narrowly side-stepping WWI, we're eventually taken over by a fascist dictator that through brutality, finally gets the economy moving... which is quickly destroyed by allied invasion. We're not seen as much of a future threat, so totally ignored by the Marshal Plan of reconstruction. We strugle on in general economic malaze with a fractured democracy cycling through periods of socialism and capitalism for another 60 years largly living on past glory as a turist destination.
Sounds like fun, Yeah?

Sorry. You obviously know very little about the law.
Also, are you claiming that the women who claim to be descended from George
Washington can be sued for saying that?
Also, you are obviously not a descendant of George Washington, since he did
not have any, so where is your standing to sue?

Nissan Releases All-New Cefiro
Tokyo ‐ Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced the domestic release of the new-generation Cefiro following the implementation of a full model change.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the Cefiro's debut, and this latest model is the third generation of this distinguished series. With the Cefiro, Nissan has aimed to provide a superior-quality, highly rational sedan that is distinctly different from currently available large sedans, which have tended to push luxuriousness to the forefront. Over the years the Cefiro has been highly acclaimed by customers not only in Japan but also in approximately 130 countries worldwide as a car that always provides new value in accord with the times.
This newest Cefiro model has been developed around the concept of "all-around relaxing performance" in an eminently comfortable new-generation sedan that everyone will always find pleasing and enjoyable in a variety of situations. To accomplish that aim, the Cefiro embodies the concept of a universal design to enable ease of use by everyone, regardless of age, gender or individual differences, as well as an array of cutting-edge technologies, including a direct-injection engine.
The exterior design has been executed with a dolphin motif, symbolizing intelligence and peace of mind. Moreover, the design pursues the concept of a "visual body" to enable the driver see the four corners of the vehicle and to sense its position easily at all times.
On the inside, the Cefiro has the roominess of a Cima-class sedan, thanks to its longer wheelbase, and comes with a long roster of convenience and comfort features for full relaxation. The universal design concept has also been utilized extensively to create an interior that will be easy for anyone to use with complete satisfaction.
In the area of driving performance, the 2.5-liter models are fitted with the NEO Di VQ25DD direct-injection V6 engine that has been newly developed to provide greater power while simultaneously improving fuel economy substantially. Featured on the 2.0-liter models is the NEO VQ20DE lean-burn V6 engine that also improves both power output and fuel economy. Moreover, ride comfort, handling and stability have been further enhanced by adopting a newly developed rear Multi-link Beam Suspension with Super Toe Control (STC).
Safety performance has also been vigorously pursued. In addition to its high-strength Zone Body construction for excellent crashworthiness, the Cefiro comes with Front-Seat Active Head Restraints designed to help mitigate whiplash injuries in rear-end collisions. It also adopts the Occupant-Friendly Upper Interior that helps cushion secondary impacts in a collision. Another newly adopted safety feature is a Pedestrian-Friendly Front Bumper that helps reduce lower leg and knee injuries in the event of an impact.
On the environmental front, the direct-injection engine and the lean-burn engine reduce CO2 emissions under Japan's 10-15 test mode by approximately 20% and 10%, respectively, compared with the previous model. In addition, all 2.5-liter models are available with a low-emission vehicle (LEV) specification that achieves notably cleaner exhaust gas by reducing emissions, including carbon monoxide (CO), to around one-tenth of the average values required under Japan's current exhaust emission standards.
Overview of New Cefiro
The treatment of the headlamps accentuates the four lamps and imparts a fresh, premium-quality image.
"Visual body"
2. Interior and packaging‐relaxing to ride in
The interior has a host of handy storage places and is fitted with a host of appointments for complete relaxation, including a rear power sunshade and a pop-up center armrest.
Boasting a VDA storage capacity of 540 liters, the trunk ranks as one of the largest in the Cefiro's class. All models come with a trunk pass-through feature with the 60/40 split rear seatbacks folding down to allow convenient access to the luggage area. Moreover, a multi-use trunk net is standard for easily securing both small and large items as desired.
User-friendly interior resulting from universal design concept
3. Driving performance‐relaxing to drive
For enhanced environmental friendliness, the NEO Di VQ25DD engine is provided in a low-emission vehicle (LEV) specification package that emits approximately 20% less CO2 than the previous model and also reduces exhaust emissions, including CO, to approximately one-tenth of the levels currently required under Japan's exhaust emission regulations.
New NEO VQ20DE lean-burn engine
New rear Multi-link Beam Suspension with STC
4. Safety and environmental performance‐relaxing for people and the Earth
Vigorous environmental protection
To prevent air pollution, all 2.5-liter models are available with a low-emission vehicle (LEV) specification that reduces carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions to around one-tenth of the average values currently specified under Japan's exhaust emission regulations.
Steps have been taken to reduce the use of lead by adopting lead-free materials for the radiator and heater cores, fuel tank and other parts. In addition, vigorous measures have been implemented to improve overall environmental friendliness, including the preservation of water quality.

V: The Videogame Experience (Issue #1)Posted by daniel thomas Categories: books, games
Here is one of my earliest published works: a videogame-themed fanzine that ran from 1993 to 1996. V: The Videogame Experience. Video game zines flourished in the early 1990s, inspired by Arnie Katz (one of the pioneers of video game journalism) in the pages of Video Games & Computer Entertainment. A vibrant underground community emerged and grew, writers and editors creating their answer to the commercial "prozines" of the day.
Our scene had a wild punk spirit, and it was tremendous fun to create our own publications, finding other like-minded peers, receiving official recognition in the prozines themselves. Eventually, the fanzines were accepted to the Consumer Electronic Shows as official press, and this, in turn, led to many professional careers in the video game industry. For example, Chris Kohler, the editor of Wired Magazine's Game|Life, began as a "faned" ("fanzine editor") called "Video Zone." Other writers who found professional work include Chris Johnston (EGM, and now Adult Swim Games), Ara Shirinian, Tyrone Rodriguez...and myself. I wrote game reviews for GamePro and NewType Gaming magazines - my first paid writing jobs.
For me, the style of my zine changed radically during its run. I began writing exclusively about video games, with articles, editorials, reviews and strategy guides. With the fourth issue, I began to incorporate more artistic themes, including hand-crafted artwork for the covers, music reviews, and personal poetry. Sound familiar? Lately, I've been wondering if I'm caught in a 20-year fractal time loop. But I must admit that I've looked back to those later issues for inspiration lately.
I'm really happy to share this first issue with you. I worked so hard to create this zine, and felt it was a personal breakthrough as a "solo" artist. It's funny how your dreams consume you at such a young age, isn't it? I didn't have any formal training or education in editing or publishing. I loved writing and felt I had a talent for it, ever since early childhood. And so I just went out and created something. Reading Arnie Katz' zine articles inspired me greatly; I owe my entire writing and publishing career to him.
Back in 1993 and 1994, I would print out 100 copies of V, and would feel ten feet tall. I was so famous! Today, the internet enables instantaneous global distribution...for free. Thanks to Ghibli Blog, I now reach more visitors in one day than I ever reached with ten years of fanzines. What a miracle! Keep that in mind the next time someone tells you that "blogging is dead." You can become a world famous publisher in one hour or less. Dead, my ass.
After the jump break lies V issue #1, in its entirety. The cover was printed on thicker paper stock, and colored. Everything was created on Microsoft Publisher on desktop PCs at the University of MN-Duluth computer labs after classes. Beth Partin, who's listed in the page-two masthead, was my college girlfriend at the time. I wonder what ever became of her? Where have the last 20 years gone? My head is spinning. Enjoy the fanzine and the glimpse into my 20-year-old self.

Hey Daniel,
We are starting a website that will be archiving the history of video game fanzines. I have currently scanned in over 120 fanzines that I aquired back in the day and we are looking for more fanzines to add to the collection. Let me know if you are interested in contributing to help us save/archive this part of video game history.

News from the Hilltop
Monster.com founder to deliver inaugural Stump Lecture in Entrepreneurship at Birmingham-Southern College
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Jeff Taylor, founder of Monster.com, Eons.com, and Tributes.com, will deliver Birmingham-Southern College's inaugural Stump Lecture in Entrepreneurship on Thursday, April 21, on campus.
The 11 a.m. lecture in the Bruno Great Hall of the Norton Campus Center is open to the public and admission is free.
Recognized as an innovator and visionary in both the Internet and career industries, Taylor reinvented the way job hunters seek employment. The Monster.com website was one of the first dot-com companies when it was introduced in 1993, and it has since become the world's leading online career site. Today, the Monster global network consists of local content and language sites in over 30 countries and serves nearly 30 million unique visitors monthly.
Taylor left Monster in 2005 to found a new venture, Eons.com, a social networking site for people over age 50. In 2008, he started Tributes.com, an online resource for national and local obituary news with more than 80 million obituaries and partnerships with thousands of funeral homes. He currently serves as CEO of Eons.com and chairman of Tributes.com.
Taylor is a frequent speaker at colleges and universities, Fortune 500 companies, and major industry events, and a regular guest on CNBC. He has co-authored three books under the "Monster Careers" title offering job seekers step-by-step plans for interviewing, finding the job, and networking.
He holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a certificate from the Owner/President Management (OPM) Program, Executive Education, Harvard Business School.
An avid radio deejay for more than 30 years, Taylor has a weekly show on Sirius/XM under the name Jefr Tale.
The Stump Lecture in Entrepreneurship is made possible by a generous contribution from Kevin and Jane Templeton Stump of Birmingham, both graduates of BSC. Their gift, along with support from an existing endowed fund created by Joseph S. Bruno, funds the Stump Programs in Entrepreneurship at the college, of which this lecture is a part.
Kevin Stump is founder, chairman, and CEO of Interconn Resources, Inc.

(746.25 kB) Experienced contractors sometimes tell me that replacement windows are a poor substitute for "real" windows, and that their installation does little more than earn the salesman a quick commission and the installer all kinds of headaches. And it's true that my company — which specializes in solving rain-related building-envelope problems — has investigated hundreds of leaking retrofit window installations over the past decade or so. But in every case, the problem has been caused by a tradesman who did not understand how to correctly install the window, and not by the window itself.While there are obviously lots of different types of replacement windows of varying levels of quality, I think that in general they are a terrific alternative to traditional new-construction windows. One of the tools my company uses to test leaky walls and windows is a calibrated spray rack. We've sprayed replacement windows from Milgard, Anlin,... Login or Register to continue reading

Past is past, and if one
remembers what one meant
to do and never did, is
not to have thought to do
enough? Like that gather-

planned, to gather one
of each kind of clover,
daisy, paintbrush that
grew in that field
the cabin stood in and
study them one afternoon
before they wilted. Past
is past. I salute
that various field.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2014 (1185 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In terms of the weather, prepare for a bit of everything over the next few days.
Though Thursday evening's snow is still falling in some areas in and around Winnipeg, the wet flurries will end sometime this morning. After that, look for a 30 per cent chance of showers the rest of the day.
The high should be 8 C. Tonight's low is expected to be around the freezing mark.
Environment Canada has also issued a fog advisory for much of southwest and south central Manitoba this morning. Near zero visibility is possible in these regions. The fog is expected to lift as the daytime temperature warms up later in the day.
Winnipeg is not part of the fog advisory.
A mix of sun and cloud is expected for Saturday, with a southeast wind blowing at 30 km/h in the afternoon. Saturday's high is 10 C.
Sunday is calling for a 30 per cent chance of showers. It looks like we're going to get more rain on Monday.

In order to manager ringback tones for YOUR number, you need to register it separately, with your own log in username and password. It will be recognized as a secondary account, but you will be able to manage your own ringback tones, backup assistant, etc.

I am the account owner for my family plan and would like to be able to have access to manage the ringtones and ringback tones on the other lines like i could a month ago. The site seems to chage daily now and does get quite annoying at times. If I buy a ringback tone or ringtone for another number on my account I should have access to manage it as well.
4. Re: ringback tonesSuzyQ Dec 9, 2010 5:20 PM (in response to Cataclysm)Hi Cataclysm - I see you have been posting around the forums and claiming to be Customer Care person...so you should know the answer to this one....but for the sake of others and to clarify things, let me address this.
Ringtones are sent and managed on each device. There never has been a way to manage these online except for purchase or download. And while ringback tones ARE managed online, you have to be logged in with the specific device you want to manage for. It was that way a month ago, and has been for as long as ringback tones have been available.
If you have access to purchase a ringback for another line on the account, it means you would have had to be logged in with that number to purchase, and you would have to log in with that number to manage as well. If you buy a ringtone for a number, it is sent to that device, and is manageable ON THE DEVICE.
Hope that all makes sense....

Four weeks after a loss in the NFC Championship Game that still bothers Brad Childress, he talked with Brett Favre, the quarterback who was beaten up during that loss at the Superdome.
Childress spoke with Favre on Monday and Tuesday, but those two phone conversations – the first time they spoke since Favre left Minnesota following that loss to New Orleans – didn't leave the head coach with any better sense of whether Favre will return to the Vikings for 2010 or not.
"I wouldn't really characterize it either way," Childress said. "I spoke to him a couple times earlier this week, Monday and Tuesday. He's more fixated on getting some crushed limestone down on the road to his mother-in-law's house on his property. They have a water issue down there. I think he's got other things on his mind right now. Certainly I couldn't give him any landscape architecture ideas or anything of that nature. The conversation didn't last very long. He needed to get back to work."
Childress reiterated what vice president of player personnel Rick Spielman said on Thursday: There is no timeline for Favre making a decision. And Childress seems fine that.
"I'm pretty good with that and I think the thing is this: Our team understands that as well. The old not knowing, not knowing, not knowing – you can question guys on our team and say, 'Would it be nice to know sooner than later?' Yeah, but you have to be able to deal with uncertainty and ambiguity in this business, whether you're a player, whether you're a coach and deal with it well. I think our players get that, understand that. I think that they'll be fine," Childress said.
He said later that there was no timeline last year while Favre was healing from offseason surgery to repair a partially torn biceps tendon in his throwing arm.
"We'll just see how it goes. We have communication going back and forth. We'll just see whether he's going to get in or get out," Childress said.
It's a recurring question that Childress can't answer right now and he's not pressing Favre for that answer either.
"I'm not going to put him in any box after the year (he had). … He's still healing up from that game and he's kind of earned that latitude. I think he kind of defines things a different way, where everybody said, 'Well, he had to be here for OTAs (organized team activities), for the mandatory minicamp, he's trying to get out of training camp.' I just think it's important to manage a guy's resources, particularly on a 40- or 41-year old. There's really not a manual on that, just like there's not a manual for raising kids. There's not a manual for 40, 41 (years old), and to have one of his best years you just have to be mindful of that."
Ultimately, Childress wouldn't be surprised by Favre's decision either way, but he isn't aware of any offseason surgeries that Favre will need.
To this point, the conversations between the two of them have been pretty casual.
"Talked about a couple different football elements. Nothing that was earth-shattering," Childress said.
"I saw him before he left (after the season). I would tell you that about everybody on our football team, they need to get away and breathe and do what they do, whether it's with their family or warm weather or whatever. While some go get lost, some start working out. Just giving him space, that's what you do. You see a lot of them during the football season. This is their time."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A man I hired to work at a farm that I myself was employee by is suing the owners of the farm after he and all other employees were let go and was never paid the wages I told him the job would be paying. The owners of the farm have slapped a law suit on me saying that if they lose in court then they will go after me for any money they lost. Is this legal? Can they also go after my inheritance?
Is it legal that they can sue you? Yes. Will they win? Probably if you don't hire your own attorney.Ask a similar question
More facts are needed to provide guidance to you in this matter. But generally, if there's a reason to attach assets (including an inheritance) pre-judgment that a court deems worthy of such action, then yes, your inheritance could be at risk. A settlement agreement may also provide for some mechanism to obtain part of your inheritance.
You will need an attorney to discuss your defenses to the suit and other steps to be taken to protect your interests - and you need such a person immediately. There are many good attorneys here on AVVO, and the Wyoming Bar Association has a great referral service.
The foregoing is not legal advice nor is it in any manner whatsoever meant to create or impute an attorney/client relationship.Ask a similar question
Your employer may sue you. However, it seems unlikely that you would be held liable. I can only guess that your employer is saying that you promised more than they authorized you to promise and that you exceeded your authority. I have no idea what you promised, but as I understand it, your employer failed to pay the other employees. Certainly, they were entitled to be paid. Having paid nothing, it is hard to conceive that your employer can establish that you overpromised. Moreover, unless your employer has named you as a third party defendant in the pending case, it may be difficult when they lose to file a new suit against you. This is the kind of case where all the claims should be heard at the same time. Courts do no favor a multiplicity of suits over the same facts and legal questions between parties that should have been joined in the original suit.Ask a similar question

You're a busy person. You spend most of your time working, even at your own home. You're so busy that you don't even have time anymore for some relaxation, even skipping socialization at that. And then all of a sudden, you want some fresh air, or some activity that requires you to sweat it out. Simply put, you need to exercise.
But you're too busy to go out and jog. Well, getting a gym equipment is an option if you're too busy to go out and do some running or hiking for that matter. Getting a power rack, for instance, is one way of dealing with your dilemma. You can check out garagegympro.com today, and get that squat rack that you need.
There is nothing bad when you exercise indoors, as long as you have the right equipment with you. If you can check out garagegympro.com right now, you can have that power rack in no time.
But why garagegympro.com? Their reviews speak for itself. Every information you need when it comes to squat and power racks, they got it all covered. You can even determine certain classifications of these racks through these reviews, so you may know what type of rack you are getting.
Use these power racks from now on. You need to take a breather from the tediousness of your daily work. You'll be stressed out if you keep that pace. But if you can have your initial exercises with your power rack, and leading to a more concentrated training, then you'll be renewed and stress-free the rest of the way.
If you haven't thought about buying a gift for busy people who loves to do marathon running, then you might want to consider these power racks right now. Gift ideas for runners are hard to come by, especially because there are a lot of durable and affordable exercise equipment out there. But these power racks are a perfect fit for those who want to run but couldn't find time to do so.
Just check out garagegympro.com, and get busy with this gym equipment from now on, away from the monotony of your daily grind.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Brazilian regulators said on Tuesday they were confident that new regulations will trump provisions of the country's 2010 oil law that threaten to strip oil companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc of rights to operate major oil fields.
"We're pretty sure that the rules will stand up to any legal challenge," Thiago Macedo, the lead attorney for oil regulator ANP, said at an industry event. "Besides, the government has no interest in taking away operator rights to those concessions."
The rules, known as ANP Regulation 25, do not prohibit Brazil from giving operator rights to some existing fields to state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, the regulators said. Instead it interprets the law to allow operators of existing fields to keep running them when the related oil reserve extends into unsold areas subject to the new law.
Under that interpretation, the government would be a minority partner leaving control to existing operators, Macedo said.
The rules are Brazil's latest effort to patch up problems caused by the new legislation. Aimed at boosting state control and revenue from big new offshore finds, the law's passage was followed instead by stagnating output, rising costs and falling investor interest in one of the world's most promising oil frontiers.
"The new law clearly increases the judicial and political risk for some oil companies operating in Brazil," said Pedro Dittrich, a partner specializing in oil at TozziniFreire Advogados, a Rio de Janeiro law firm.
Dittrich, who helped draft the 2010 law as a legal advisor, said the ANP regulations resolve some of the uncertainties created by the new law, but only on a case by case basis.

Can You Be Competitive With An Open API?
if all web 2.0 developers worked together, how would they compete?
at the web 2.0 summit in san francisco on tuesday, panelists discussed the need within the new era of the internet to have open application programming interfaces (apis) so that users will have a more congealed experience on the internet.
"these are not technical issues, these are business and cultural issues and god forbid we should educate our users," said marc canter, chief executive officer for broadband mechanics. "we have trained them that [web sites] are independent and closed silos so they don't expect them to work together."
the era of web 1.0 was characterized by web sites that were bastions of independence. they had their own authentification systems, their own e-commerce systems, and their own offerings. according to panelists at the conference, that business model is out. customers want integration, interoperability, and congruent authentification.
companies like google and yahoo! realize that they cannot create every application along these lines, so they have two options: buy up companies they deem of value, or support development of them.
"our mission is to enable third-party developers to build applications that they dream about," said chad dickerson with the yahoo! developer network. "we just recently launched browser-based authentification which allows third-party sites to leverage yahoo's authentification to authenticate to their sites. what happens is that companies who want to partner with us actually build their applications before they approach yahoo! so open apis allows us to do better deals in a more timely manner."
but isn't this all just a little too utopian? are developers motivated by the mean green or are they motivated by an altruistic desire for the web to be a happy place? what if connected fragmentation is what the user wants? canter estimates that fragmentation is good, as long as fragmented sites can allow easy transition between themselves.
"we are in a multi-vendor world and by definition, if you have multiple vendors, you can't have a single system anything. it's a less-than-ideal world," canter said. "i don't believe in centralized social networks. instead of 5 million people in a network, i believe in 5 million networks and the average person will be a part of 5 to 10 of them and our goal here is to interconnect the networks."
stewart butterfield, general manager of flickr, yahoo! inc., says that opening his apis is not exactly the easiest thing to do. when a competitor approached him for an api last summer, he admitted that his first reaction was to tell them to "go screw yourself." in the end, the company decided to open the api, which made them seem like a more giving enterprise than they actually meant to be.
"we got a lot of praise for that, which was funny because they misconstrued the motivation," said butterfield. "the motivation that was attributed was that we were trying to be altruistic. but the real motivation was that if people had to deal with the difficult issues that we were dealing with, then we could trust them."
flickr currently uses yahoo!'s authentification system to log users in, in addition to its own. butterfield says that the company will eventually move to an exclusively yahoo! authentification system. another company, menuism, started using yahoo!'s authentification system and saw 70 percent of their users using the option.
"we're entering into an era of pragmatism," canter said. "we can rely on a business like amazon or yahoo! where we'll have steady service that we can build on top of, yet none of us want to lock ourselves into amazon or yahoo!, so the greatest challenge we have is to educate users as to what is possible. if you go and talk to an average human about what is digital, they're completely unknowledgeable about different industries, so convergence is what this is all about. the ability to link together the experiences, that is what web 2.0 is all about."

I just realized yesterday that I published my 299th blog; I have seven drafts in development, so I didn't notice I was quite so close. Some people might consider that a lot and considering I'm only into my second year as a regularly active member, they might be right. However, that would be less than half of what I could have written if I had the time to blog like I used too. What can I say? I like to write, and I usually have something to say.
I was originally planning something grandiose for a topic, but the topics I originally had to choose from were taking more work than I anticipated. I would have planned better if I had noticed how close to 300 blogs I was. So I'll just take this opportunity to share a bit about my musical tastes again and continue my participation in chilidogg's community event.
Today is July 4th, so I figured I had to add something related.
Now back to our regularly scheduled program
Once again I make a contribution to the cause of shamelessness in the name of "the Guru of Questionable Blog Topics", our very own chilidogg.
As my with my mentor's blogs, if you don't like looking at pictures of scantily clad women (and maybe some men too), then please leave this blog now because that is all this blog is.
This is my fifth contribution to Chili's noble cause. This time I decide to take another dip into my long list of video game favorites to find images related to the world within. This time it's Nintendo.

Michael Annett had hoped to return to the No. 43 car of Richard Petty Motorsports at Talladega. That will not happen as a scan last week revealed that the bones and plates on Annett's sternum were not fusing as fast as the driver had hoped. Annett's surgeon had told him it would be two or three months before he would get back behind the wheel of a racecar after he was injured in a crash at Daytona International Speedway. "Physically, I still felt like I could have gotten in the car at Richmond, still feel like I can get in at Talladega," Annett told NASCAR.com. "He's not worrying about me physically being able to do it. It's just in case something goes wrong, if the plates and everything he's put in there aren't willing to withstand a hard hit like that. It's not so much keeping me out, because I can do it. It's in case something goes bad, it hasn't grown back enough to where it would be able to hold that." Annett is now targeting a return at Charlotte for the May 25th race. Reed Sor
