Summers almost here and youre still looking for just the right car to cruise and hit the shows? Perhaps we can help. This nicely built 1955 Chevrolet is fast, fun, and reasonably priced, and needs no tinkering or finishing to be ready for the first show of the season. Fill it with gas, turn the key, and hit the road.
Many enthusiasts agree that the 1955 Chevrolet was a revolutionary car. Not only was it packing the new small block V8, but the clean design, trim proportions, and brilliant use of trim make it a design that has withstood the test of time. Originally plain old India Ivory, this 55 210 now sports a vivid Gypsy Red paint job that positively explodes off the old sheetmetal. No, its not subtle but nothing about 1950s cars coming out of Detroit was meant to be subtle. The bodywork has been well done, with very straight panels and good alignment throughout. Nothing was chopped or modified, allowing the clean design to stand on its own, which seems to be how most Shoebox Chevy fans like it. Details remain crisp, including the raised molding along the front fender, which often gets rounded off during the block sanding phase. After hours and hours of work on the body itself, only then did the bright red paint go on. Deep and rich, and maybe with just a hint of pearl in the topcoat, the finish looks as good up close and in person as it does in photos.
Fortunately, all the original trim was retained on this 55. There was a time when de-chroming old cars was all the rage, but they always looked unfinished. It appears that every bit of stainless was straightened and polished to a chrome-like shine, then reinstalled on the freshly painted body. Chrome items such as the bumpers and grille, have been re-chromed to show standards and are extremely nice. Glass is new all around, and things like the parking lights and tail light lenses are very nice reproduction pieces.
Since this is the car that started it all, you know there can be only one thing under the hood: a small block Chevy V8. Nicely finished with a combination of stock and custom features, it looks right at home in the 55s engine bay. The block, heads, and vintage intake have all been bathed in Chevy Orange paint as the General intended. Up top, theres a Rochester Quadrajet 4-barrel carburetor managing the fuel, along with a chrome open-element air cleaner. A matching set of Edelbrock valve covers add some flash, along with a polished stainless steel fan shroud and chrome master cylinder lid (note that its now a dual master cylinder for safety reasons). Other items, such as the accessory drive and exhaust manifolds, are stock pieces that work in this engine bay because they were born here. Satin black inner fenders and firewall are a perfect backdrop for the bright mechanical bits, and new wiring throughout ensures reliability. Like almost any small block Chevy, it fires up easily and runs happily at any speed with a crisp burble from the dual exhaust system. If youre into driving your car, this is the engine you want.
And theres just no question that this car was built to drive. The chassis is nicely finished, but not so over-detailed that youre afraid to go out and get it dirty on the road. A TH350 3-speed automatic handles the gear changes, while the original rear hangs on leaf springs out back. The stock front suspension has been rebuilt using dropped spindles to get just the right hot rod rake, and disc brakes have been added. Floors are solid and have been given a low-maintenance finish so that you dont have to crawl under there and wipe it down every time you drive it. A true dual exhaust system features Flowmaster mufflers that sound great, and a new gas tank has been installed out back. 15-inch Pacer wheels do an awfully good impersonation of vintage Cragar mags, and wear 215/65/15 front and 245/60/15 rear BFGoodrich T/A radials.
The interior is nicely finished, and like the engine, combines the best of the original design with modern updates. That gorgeous twin-pod dashboard has been restored, including the original gauges and that beautiful metallic trim band that runs from end to end. A polished aluminum tilt column has been installed and topped with a late-model Chevrolet steering wheel. The original bench seat is long gone, replaced by a set of very comfortable low-back buckets separated by a custom center console. The upholstery is comfortable cloth, not sticky vinyl or sweaty leather, so this car is ready for summer. New carpets, a fresh headliner, and custom made door panels finish off a perfectly balanced interior. Other details include bow-tie logo floor mats, a modern AM/FM/cassette radio in the original radios location, and an auxiliary temperature gauge under the dash, just in case. For safety, seat belts have been installed, and all the knobs and handles have been restored. The trunk has been finished to match, with black carpet and a red and black pattern on the sides that ties in with the interior.
One thing weve learned here at RK Motors Charlotte over the years is that a car doesnt have to be exotic or expensive to be cool. In fact, theres a lot to be said for an honest car that delivers simple fun without the worry of something expensive going wrong. This 55 is the embodiment of that attitude. With a rugged and simple drivetrain, beautiful styling, and a nicely finished interior, its a car that you can simply get in, turn the key, and hit the road without a thought. Dont worry about figuring out how to tune fuel injection, forget adjustable suspensions, and never get stuck in the rain with cheap power window kits that never work right. Honest, fun, well-built cars like this are the cornerstone of the hot rodding hobby, and this one is nicer than most. Give us a call today!

Home Depot Inc's Reward Doesn't Justify The Risk
- Home Depot continues to defy all logic. Recently it produced an exceptional set of earnings which will drive the stock higher.
- However, many investors are buying into its guidance and fundamentals but forgetting its valuation and inherent risks.
- Issues such as impending interest rate hike could adversely affect the housing market in the US. It is not a diversified company.
Many investors and analysts alike have continued their bullish stance on Home Depot Inc. (Home Depot (NYSE:HD) after the company delivered a solid set of first quarter earnings. Furthermore, housing starts surprisingly jumped in April which only added fuel to the bullishness already surrounding this stock. Moreover, analysts are now stating that the slight dip following the earnings release was due to a comment made by the management on the call that was construed wrongly. Guidance was raised by management but the stock sold off because US store comps fell from 11.8% in February to 4.6% in April. The reasoning behind the bullish call is that the company wouldn't have raised its guidance unless it felt that this downtrend had stopped. In the near term, Home Depot will be aided by a rising stock market (which has probably bottomed on 05-19-2016) but, in my opinion, there are just too many risks to consider going long this stock at the moment.
Also Read: Home Depot Stock Is A Risk At Current Price
Firstly, the company is definitely bucking the retail trend as sales growth of 9% and overall same-store sales of 6.5% are definitely indicative numbers of a rising market. Furthermore, the company is on track to earn $6.30 in earnings in 2016 which would be just under 20% earnings growth from its previous year. These are stellar numbers for a retailer and the bulls are stating growth will continue for years citing its strong brand, housing demographics and underlying strength in the US economy. However, Home Depot's sales multiple is now at 1.9 and its earnings multiple is 24.1 which are well above the company's 10-year averages. Is it worth investing in a stock trading at a sales multiple almost double of its 10-year average? (1.12 is the company's 10 year average). Study the company's price to sales ratio as it is a much more accurate valuation metric than the earnings multiple which would be much higher but for incessant buybacks.
Secondly, investors swarm to companies similar to Home Depot because of its strong cash flows, share buybacks & dividend plus sales and revenue growth. In fact over the last 5 years, Home Depot has grown its sales from $67 billion in 2011 to a trailing twelve month average of over $88 billion. Operating margins have grown from 8.6% to over 13% which is one of the main reasons why this company spun off almost $8 billion in free cash flow last year. However, this substantial growth has come at a cost to its balance sheet of which few are talking about. Long-term debt has gone from $8.7 billion in 2011 to almost $21 billion at the end of the last quarter. On top of this, equity in the company has shrunk from $18.8 billion to presently $6.3 billion. This means the debt to equity ratio has gone from 0.46 to 3.31 which is a huge negative in my view if present market conditions were to change. Every bull talks about Home Depot's incessant buybacks but never mentions where the funds are coming from.
In terms of diversification, Home Depot has around 180 stores in Canada and a further 60 in Mexico. The rest of its almost 2,300 warehouse-style stores are in the US. Home Depot has done very well in recent years due to low interest rates, a strong US economy and a strong US dollar. Capital has been flowing heavily into the US in recent years precisely because the Fed has kept asset prices purposely elevated. What if this all changed? What is the dollar sold off and capital left US shores? When home owners have equity in their homes, home improvement activities become the norm which is why earnings estimates continue to grow for Home Depot "at the moment".
However, with an interest rate hike in the US on the table (for June), many homeowners mortgages are going to be shelling out more every month on their mortgages. The stock is stretched too high above its 200 week moving average for me to get interested at these levels. We will either have consolidation for a significant period of time or the stock will fall. Swinging from the fence up here just doesn't make any sense in my view.
To sum up, I would be cautious while investing in Home Depot around these levels. Yes, it delivered an excellent first quarter but its sales multiple is far too high at these levels. Furthermore, I don't see much diversification (despite going into maintenance and repair) against a US down turn. Finally, its balance sheet has definitely been affected by the company's insistence on reducing the float in a low-interest rate environment.

Every play matters but some stick out more than others. Each week Sooners Illustrated will look at the five plays that stood out in Oklahoma's performance. This week it's OU's 34-19 victory at Kansas.
Play No. 1: Sims gashes Sooners for 20 yards
The first part of the game illustrated a huge problem the OU defense is going to have from this point forward. The rush defense is leaving a lot to be desired, and KU running back James Sims exploited that early and often.
Facing a second-and-eight from OU's 29 yard line, it was nothing fancy. Sims up the middle, and he nearly took it to the end zone. Aaron Colvin stopped the touchdown.
Sims rushed for 129 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns. And if KU didn't abandon the run game in the second quarter, there's no telling how this game would have gone.
OU coach Bob Stoops said the problem wasn't the nose tackle position, though. The problem is somewhere, though, and the Sooners must fix it now.
Play No. 2: Bell connects with Saunders
After the first quarter, there was no reason to believe OU's pass offense had made any strides. Quarterback Blake Bell was still having issues.
He threw an interception that was called back because of a pass interference penalty to give OU a first down at KU's 39.
What followed was the best pass Bell has thrown since Notre Dame, a 25-yard strike to Jalen Saunders. Instead of having happy feet and backing up or throwing off his back foot, Bell stepped into it and delivered a strike.
Later in the drive Bell found Jaz Reynolds for a 16-yard touchdown, one of two touchdown passes for Bell on the day.
Play No. 3: Dimon blocks punt
Things were starting to go in the right direction following the Reynolds touchdown. It cut the KU lead to 13-6, and the OU defense forced the Jayhawks to punt deep in their own territory.
OU special teams coach Jay Boulware said he saw something earlier in the week that led him to believe that if he rushed hard with bigger, stronger players that they could get there.
They did as freshman Matt Dimon got through and blocked the punt that resulted in a safety and started a string of events that gave OU the momentum.
Play No. 4: Bester-to-Shepard
The only obvious play, right? Of course this had to be included. On the first play from scrimmage after the safety, OU went into its bag of tricks with a reverse pass.
OU wide receivers coach Jay Norvell gave Sterling Shepard a lot of credit for selling the play early and not giving it away.
LaColtan Bester threw a beautiful deep ball, arguably the best long pass thrown by the Sooners this season. He caught Shepard in stride for the 49-yard score.
Play No. 5: Bell misfires on fourth down
OU was up 25-13 midway through the third quarter when Stoops was looking to put the game away. OU faced a fourth-and-two from KUs' 29.
No hesitation, go for it. Offensive coordinator Josh Heupel dialed a great call that left Aaron Ripkowski wide open coming across the field.
It looked as if Bell saw Ripkowski but pulled it down. Then he backpedaled and eventually threw an interception.
Saturday was a step in the right direction for Bell and the offense but this play showed there is still a lot more to be done and to be improved on for the offense.

It was a hugh effort for the Callisto team (and the participating eclipse projects) to get where they are today. And it's really time/resource consuming - and as we are short of time/resources anyway, the only way this would be possible is to automate the release and simply "do it" after each time frame. But I don't think that this is a good idea as there is no way to determine the quality of the relese. So, in general I agree that we should try it, but not with the cost of quality and tested releases.

|Brief Summary
|Patients with scleroderma can develop heart failure due to high blood pressure in the lungs (a condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is important to find pulmonary arterial hypertension early, so that it can be treated before heart failure develops. However, the tests that we now use to find the earliest form of this disease in scleroderma patients are not good enough. This study will examine whether tests performed during exercise can improve our ability to find early pulmonary arterial hypertension. The study will also try to identify genes that are responsible for the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Seven days' around the clock exhaustive physical exertion combined with energy depletion and sleep deprivation primes circulating leukocytes
- First Online:
- Accepted:
- Citations
- 164 Downloads
Both exhaustive physical exertion and starvation have been reported to induce depression of immune function. The aim of the present study was to investigate the inflammatory environment and state of activation and mediator-producing potential of circulating leukocytes during prolonged physical activity with concomitant energy and sleep deprivation. Eight well-trained males were studied during 7 days of semi-continuous physical activity. Sleep was restricted to about 1 h/24 h, energy intake to 1.5– 3.0 MJ/24 h. Blood was drawn at 07.00 a.m. on days 0, 2, 4, and 7. Plasma levels of inflammation markers were measured. The response of circulating leukocytes to lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 1 μg mL−1), and the effect of added hydrocortisone (10 and 100 nmol L−1), were measured in the supernatant after 3 h of incubation in an ex vivo whole blood model. Activation of leukocytes steadily increased as measured by plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9, tumour necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and interleukin-6. Inhibitors of systemic inflammation were either unaltered (tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase-1) or elevated (plasma interleukin-1 receptor antagonist). Cortisol levels increased on days 2 and 4, but thereafter reverted to baseline values. The leukocytes responded to LPS activation with increasing release of inflammatory cytokines throughout the study period. The anti-inflammatory potency of hydrocortisone decreased. Prolonged multifactorial stress thus activated circulating immune cells and primed them for an increased response to a subsequent microbial challenge.

The tourists, set an improbable victory target of 444, went to lunch on the fifth and final day on 144-4 in their second innings, with Shivnarine Chanderpaul on 18 and Dwayne Bravo on six.
Pakistan dismissed Lara (49) and Runako Morton (16) to press home for their second win in the series after winning the first Test by nine wickets in Lahore. The second Test ended in a draw at Multan.
Skipper Lara and Ramnaresh Sarwan survived the first 90 minutes of the extended two-and-a-half hour session after the West Indies resumed at 39-2.
Lara and Sarwan played cautiously and negotiated Pakistan's pacemen Umar Gul and Shahid Nazir on a pitch which had eased out for batting.
Lara, who needed 96 to become the first man to score 12,000 Test runs, was dismissed off an uppish drive off Gul which was smartly snapped by Shoaib Malik at mid-off. Lara hit nine boundaries during his 92-ball knock.
Sarwan, who regained his place in the team after being dropped in the second Test, had to return to the pavilion after he was hit on the right foot by a full length delivery from Gul.
Sarwan, who has gone to hospital for an X-ray, had made 35.
Morton hit two boundaries and a six off Danish Kaneria before giving the Pakistani leg-spinner a return catch to leave the West Indies at 4-126.
No team in history has chased more than the 418 which the West Indies achieved for the loss of seven wickets against Australia in St John's, Antigua in 2003.
brief Scores:
Pakistan 304 and 399 for 6 decl Vs West Indies 260 and 144 for 4 (Brian Lara 49, Sarwan 35 retd hurt, Chanderpaul 18 n o; Gul 2 for 66, Nazir 1 for 36, Kaneria 1 for 30)

• Plug in
• Luke 2:15 (NIV)
• Matt. 22:36-40 (NIV)
Whether you're in a crowded store or at a computer online, Christmas shopping usually involves one of these - a shopping cart. Now this cart here is filled with presents, but I have to admit I haven't even begun to do my Christmas shopping this year. So how are you doing with your Christmas shopping? How many of you are completely finished? Raise your hand. Both of you. That's good. No, there's quite a few of you. I'm impressed. You are the planners and we don't like you. You make the rest of us feel bad about ourselves. Thank you. How many of you were courageous and crazy enough to shop the day after Thanksgiving on black Friday? Raise your hand. Yeah, I'm impressed. You know some of the stores opened at 4am this year so that we could right each other to find the perfect gift. Maybe you feel like the dad in the movie "Jingle All The Way." He wants to please his little boy so bad so he tries to get him the latest and greatest and hottest toy for Christmas. Maybe you can relate to this. Just watch.
Can you relate? I have nothing against shopping and I love Christmas and everything that comes along with it. All the excitement and parties and the presents. I love Christmas, but when stores put their Christmas decorations out in October and Christmas advertisements are on television non-stop, it seems the commercialization of Christmas really tends to leave out Christ. I'm always frustrated when I see news reports of another community taking the nativity scene out of their town square or changing the name of the Christmas tree to the holiday tree. It seems ridiculous to me that some people are so afraid of faith, they try to take all references to Christ out of Christmas. But it's easy to point fingers to people who are attacking Christmas. But I have to say the bigger problem is with us who are believers. Between the parties and the presents and finding that parking place at the mall to get the perfect presents it seems that we're missing out on the power and meaning of Christmas in our own lives and families. That's why I'm starting a new series today that I'm calling Decommercialized. It's Christmas unplugged. Over the next several weeks we're going to learn how to unplug the Christmas machine in our schedules and in our lives and experience the power and miracle of Christmas in a whole new way. Now in this Decommercialized series we're going to have a lot of fun because we're going to do some take offs of some popular television commercials that are on today.

text: No word from OddsMatrix powered book 'Evrybet.com' By SBR Saturday, February 6, 2016 Share with: Sportsbook Review reported last week that a payout complaint was filed against betting website 'Evrybet.com'. A player shared his frustration that a payout of €137 was made now three weeks ago through Skrill. The request has yet to be processed, and the player has been given no information from the online betting site regarding this payout. Evrybet is a sportsbook website powered by the OddsMatrix (EveryMatrix) platform. The sportsbooks have been troubled by bonus disputes from players that claim they were dealt with unfairly, or had their funds confiscated solely because they went all in on their sports bets, then lowered their wagers to coast through rollover requirements. SBR reported that the online sportsbook is promoting an aggressive 100% sportsbook bonus up to €500, which constitutes a potential red flag for players this time of year. Sportsbook Review has yet to hear back from Evrybet on the player complaint. Evrybet players with feedback are encouraged to write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Vulnerability in the security key that protects the card could allow eavesdropping on phone conversations, fraudulent purchases, or impersonation of the handset's owner, a security researcher warns.
A vulnerability on SIM cards used in some mobile phones could allow malware infection and surveillance, a security researcher warns.
Karsten Nohl, founder of Security Research Labs in Berlin, told The New York Times that he has identified a flaw in SIM encryption technology that could allow an attacker to obtain a SIM card's digital key, the 56-digit sequence that allows modification of the card. The flaw, which may affect as many as 750 million mobile phones, could allow eavesdropping on phone conversations, fraudulent purchases, or impersonation of the handset's owner, Nohl warned.
"We can remotely install software on a handset that operates completely independently from your phone," warned Nohl, who said he managed the entire operation in less than two minutes using a standard PC. "We can spy on you. We know your encryption keys for calls. We can read your SMSs. More than just spying, we can steal data from the SIM card, your mobile identity, and charge to your account."
The vulnerability was found in the Digital Encryption Standard, a cryptographic method developed by IBM in the 1970s that is used on about 3 billion cell phones every day. While the encryption method has been beefed up in the past decade, many handsets still use the older standard.
Tests showed that 1,000 cards in Europe and North America exhibited signs of the flaw. Nohl, who plans to detail the flaw at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas next month, said he has already shared the results of his two-year study with GSM Association, a trade group representing the cell phone industry.
GSM Association spokeswoman Claire Cranton told the Times that her organization had already passed the results on members of its group that still rely on the older standard.
"We have been able to consider the implications and provide guidance to those network operators and SIM vendors that may be impacted," Cranton said in a statement.
Nohl, who has a doctorate in computer engineering from the University of Virginia, made headlines in 2008 by publicizing weaknesses in wireless smart card chips used in transit systems around the globe. A year later, he cracked the algorithm used on GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) cell phones, which is designed to prevent attackers from eavesdropping on calls.

Smartphones are susceptible to malware and carriers have enabled NSA snooping, but the prevailing wisdom has it there's still one part of your mobile phone that remains safe and un-hackable: your SIM card.
Yet after three years of research, German cryptographer Karsten Nohl claims to have finally found encryption and software flaws that could affect millions of SIM cards, and open up another route on mobile phones for surveillance and fraud.
Nohl, who will be presenting his findings at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on July 31, says his is the first hack of its kind in a decade, and comes after he and his team tested close to 1,000 SIM cards for vulnerabilities, exploited by simply sending a hidden SMS. The two-part flaw, based on an old security standard and badly configured code, could allow hackers to remotely infect a SIM with a virus that sends premium text messages (draining a mobile phone bill), surreptitiously re-direct and record calls, and — with the right combination of bugs — carry out payment system fraud….

The outlook wasn't brilliant for TEAville's simple people they say; The polls stood forty-nine to forty-two, with Obama just starting his big play.
As McCain did fall at first and then, too, Romney had done the same; blithering idiocy then fell like roaring rain from that village of the lame.
A straggling few got up to go in deeply confused despair as fate their spirit arrests. The rest clung to hope sprung eternal in shriveled grinch-like breasts.
They thought..
If only Donald could get but a whack at that - they'd put up even money, yes, with their beloved Donald standing ready at the bat.
Then Obama's wins were over and gone away, and Hillary's team had now came to play; not lose.
And Jeb Bush preceded Donald, as too they say ole' Lyin' Teddy Cruz,
The former wore his tutu and the latter was but a fake, so upon that stricken multitude a slack melancholy soon had sat...
for there seemed little chance of their Donald's ever standing up to bat.
But Bush fouled before sight first, to the wonderment of all. And Cruz, the much despised, wore impossible dreams and nothing else to TEAville's favorite game of ball; and when the dust had lifted, and the village saw what had occurred.. There was Donald's team at second.. and Donald's hopes rounded safe on third!
Then from millions of throats there rose a confederate yell. It tumbled down the valleys, and echoed down the dells; It pounded on the mountains, it spilled across the flat,
for Donald, their dear Daffy Donald, was advancing up to bat.
All their wet eyes locked on as he rubbed himself bodily in TEAville's dirt; and those angry villagers roared so loudly for Donald wore that dirt so proudly. Then limp-wristed media pitchers ground waiting softballs into their open hips...
Defiance gleamed in Donald's eyes and a lusty sneer curled upon his lips.
And now a softly slung sphere came floating through the air, and Donald stood a-watching; a haughty grandeur there.
Close by the savvy salesman that first easy ball unheeded then did float -"That ain't my style" laughed The Donald, "That's just not at all my boat!"
"Strike one!" most reporters in chorus then said.
From their backyard benches, thick with angry TEAple, there went up a muffled roar,
like the pounding of far flung storms lashing waves at some sternly rocky and distant shore.
"Kill them! Kill the lefty media!" shouted thousands in that bitter TEA land;
and it's likely they'd have done so if but Donald had given them command.
With a smile of un-Christian charity Donald's eyes thus shone; this tumult he saw just needs to be nudged;
So he bade their parade = go on! He signaled to the media, and another softball flew;
But Donald still ignored it, and most reporters so adjudged:
"Strike Two!"
"Fraud!" cried the maddened millions, and echo answered fraud;
but one sneering leer from The Donald.. and his audience was again left awed.
They saw his face grow puffy, they saw his veins swell and strain, and they knew that Donald just wouldn't let another softball go by, No sir! Not again... not their favorite flawed fraud.
That famous sneer filled Donalds face, his teeth clenched in hate; he pounds with partisan violence his bat upon the plate. And now the reporters ready their softballs.. but before letting them go.. The airwaves are shattered by an unbidden and surprising blow.
Oh, somewhere beyond TEAville's stands the sun is now shining bright; bands are playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts alight, and somewhere good decent people laugh out loud, and somewhere happy children play and shout;
But there is no joy in TEAville -
For Donald, Daffy-Donald, has truly just struck out.

The Sword of the Stofs was an ornamental sword that served as a symbol of Stofonian nationalism. It was said to have been created by the mythical sword-maker and master swordsman Zor.
The Sword of the Stofs was not metal, or at least not any metal known to us today. It was made of a solid white substance. Hard, smooth, but with no metallic luster. Like perfectly white marble, but without the brittleness that would affect such a long thin stone object. It showed no signs of having been either worked like metal, or carved like wood or stone. It looked as if it had been poured into a mold while molten, except that it was also supposed incapable of being melted by any fire, not even the firebrand wielded by Namckon himself. No stone was capable of sharpening it, which was fortunate as it never needed sharpening. It was spoken of as being harder and sharper than any metal sword.
No one in historic times ever saw it actually used as a weapon, so these claims are unsubstantiated.
It was normally kept on display in the residence of the King (later Emperor), who carried it in public view on ceremonial occasions. None but its rightful owner was capable of touching it and living.
The sword was first seen around 1100 EYE in the possession of Ijermeshil I, but was supposedly very ancient even at that time.
One legend said that it had had been wielded by the rulers of the Elosian Empire, but that Ronthor the Bald had taken it from the slain (and hated) Mondroy II. It then passed through generations of Stofonian warlords before winding up in Ijermeshil's hands.
The Sword disappeared in 1908, when Dostof III was arrested by the Stofonian Revolutionary Army. The actual circumstances are disputed. The most common popular story holds that Dostof attempted to resist arrest using the sword as a weapon, but it broke in half on first contact with an enemy weapon.
Some interpret this to mean that the sword had always been a fake. Others say that the real sword remains hidden, and that only a decoy was destoryed. Others yet say that this was the genuine sword, but that because Dostof was a bad ruler, the spirit of Zor fled from the sword when he wielded it.
In any case, the revolutionaries (in particular, the radical and vengeful Namonists) then proceeded to break the sword into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually grinding it to dust and scattering the dust to the winds.
Another version leaves out the attempted use by Dostof, and says that the Namonists simply stole the sword from its customary display case. This view is obviously held by those who do not think the sword was ever really deadly to the touch of thieves.
Some Rostofialists and other Stofonian Restorationists think that the real Sword of the Stofs (either whole, or possibly in two pieces, or possibly in the form of a fine white powder) is secretly possessed by Minotan Alst, and is the source of political success.

The hype around the new Technics SL-1200 turntable has reached fever pitch, with the first 300 models of the limited edition SL-1200GAE selling out in a matter of minutes in Japan.
Two new Technics 1210 turntables are on the way this year, with the SL-1200GAE limited to 1200 units, while the SL-1200G will follow later in the year with a bigger production run.
The first 300 units of the limited edition 'GAE model went on sale in Japan today priced at 356,400 yen (around $3300, £2200) and all 300 were bought within 30 minutes, according to Panasonic. A further 900 SL-1200GAE turntables will go on sale worldwide, with the UK price confirmed at £2799.
A Panasonic representative spoke to Japanese outlet Sankei Shuibum, saying: "I didn't think the price was too high as we have confidence in our brand, but I didn't expect them to sell out so quickly."
The new Technics turntables were unveiled at CES at the start of the year, with the price tag taking many fans by surprise. Technics told What Hi-Fi? why the new turntable is so expensive at the Bristol Sound & Vision Show, and hinted that a cheaper model could yet follow.
Panasonic has yet to confirm a concrete UK release date for the Technics SL-1200GAE or the SL-1200G, so keep your eyes peeled if you have a few grand burning a hole in your pocket...

Interesting conversion rate
So anyone care to guess why it's £2200 in Japan, $3300 in the States and reportedly nearer to £4000 in the UK?
Lining up for it :)
Are we ever gonna see people lining up for it like they do for an iPhone?..:)...that would be some vinyl comeback for sure:). I can see same thing happen in UK, US...and perhaps 2-3 more markets sharing same quick sales experience with Japan.

The DocYard Presents:
MY REINCARNATION, JULY 30th
The DocYard Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of POV with A Special Screening of Acclaimed Documentary My Reincarnation
CAMBRIDGE, MA — The DocYard will celebrate the 25th anniversary of POV, the longest-running showcase of independent nonfiction films on American public television, with a presentation of My Reincarnation, a documentary film by Jennifer Fox. Highly acclaimed in film festivals around the world, My Reincarnation follows the epic story of the rise of a Buddhist teacher and his relationship with his son.
The film will screen July 30th at 8pm at the historic Brattle Theatre followed by an exclusive, in-person Q&A with Jennifer Fox and P.O.V Executive Director Simon Kilmurry. There will be a P.O.V 25th anniversary celebration at Casablanca Restaurant immediately following the screening sponsored by the Center for Independent Documentary. WGBH is a media sponsor for this screening.
Filmed over twenty years, My Reincarnation chronicles the epic story of the high Tibetan Buddhist Master, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, and his western-born son, Yeshi. The film follows Namkhai Norbu's rise to greatness as a Buddhist teacher in the West, while his son, Yeshi, recognized at birth as the reincarnation of a famous spiritual master, breaks away from his father's tradition to embrace the modern world. Can the father convince his son to keep the family's threatened spiritual legacy alive? Never before has a high Tibetan Master allowed such complete access to his private life and it is doubtful that another ever will. With her signature intimate access to both family and icons including the Dalai Lama, Fox expertly distills a decades-long drama into a universal story about love, transformation, and destiny. (100 min, USA, GERMANY, FINLAND, NETHERLANDS, 2011.)
Tickets for each film are $10 and can be purchased online at www.brattletheatre.org or prior to show time at the Brattle Theatre box office.

What's So Different about Biodiesel Fuel?
Biodiesel is a liquid fuel that is created by chemically processing vegetable oil and altering its properties to make it perform more like petroleum diesel fuel. It was first evaluated seriously in the late 1970s but was not widely adopted at that time.
The topic of biodiesel fuel has been receiving a great deal of interest recently, and both large- and small-scale manufacturers have started production at locations throughout the state. However, many people are still uncertain about whether biodiesel is a reliable, safe fuel to use for diesel engines.
This fact sheet explains the major differences between biodiesel and petroleum diesel (also called petrodiesel), including information about biodiesel additives and blends. The companion fact sheet in this series Using Biodiesel Fuel in Your Engine explains the performance you can expect when running an engine on biodiesel.
Properties of Biodiesel Versus Petroleum Diesel
The sizes of the molecules in biodiesel and petroleum diesel are about the same, but they differ in chemical structure. Biodiesel molecules consist almost entirely of chemicals called fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), which contain unsaturated "olefin" components. Low-sulfur petroleum diesel, on the other hand, consists of about 95 percent saturated hydrocarbons and 5 percent aromatic compounds.¹
¹If the biodiesel is made using ethanol rather than methanol, the resulting molecules are"fatty acid ethyl esters"(FAEE).
The differences in chemical composition and structure between petroleum diesel and biodiesel result in several notable variations in the physical properties of the two fuels. The seven most significant differences are as follows:
- Biodiesel has higher lubricity (it is more "slippery") than petroleum diesel. This is a good thing, as it can be expected to reduce engine wear.
- Biodiesel contains practically no sulfur. This is also a good thing, as it can be expected to result in reduced pollution from engines using biodiesel.
- Biodiesel has a higher oxygen content (usually 10 to 12 percent) than petroleum diesel. This should result in lower pollution emissions. But, relative to petroleum diesel, it causes slightly reduced peak engine power (~4 percent).
- Biodiesel tends to thicken and "gel up" at low temperatures more readily than petroleum diesel. Some types of oil are more of a problem than others. This is a concern, especially for the cold winters that are typical to Pennsylvania.
- Biodiesel is more likely to oxidize (react with oxygen) to form a semisolid gel-like mass. This is a concern, especially for extended fuel storage and when using engines that are only operated occasionally (such as standby power generators). A good method for storage is to use a dry, semi-sealed, cool, light-tight container.
- Biodiesel is more chemically active as a solvent than petroleum diesel. As a result, it can be more aggressive to some materials that are normally considered safe for diesel fuel.
- Biodiesel is much less toxic than petroleum diesel. This can be a real benefit for spill cleanups.
The quality of petroleum diesel fuel tends to be more uniform and reliable, especially when compared to small-scale production of biodiesel where quality control may or may not have been good. Petroleum diesel can vary in quality from plant to plant or from region to region, but the variations are typically much smaller. Poor-quality biodiesel fuel can lead to many problems in engine performance, and care should be taken to ensure that your fuel is of good quality (see the Renewable and Alternative Energy Fact Sheet: Using Biodiesel Fuel in Your Engine). Biodiesel that conforms to ASTM standard D6751 should be of a consistent, high quality.
In all fairness, we should mention that petroleum diesel has also demonstrated problems with oxidative stability and low-temperature performance, although biodiesel, at present, seems to be more susceptible.
Does the Type of Vegetable Oil Used Matter?
A common question regarding biodiesel that comes up is "which oil crop results in the best biodiesel?" There are definite differences from crop to crop, but it's not a straightforward matter to choose a "best" one, especially when the cost of growing or buying oil can vary quite a bit from crop to crop as well.
Different vegetable oils have higher or lower concentrations of different chemical components (fatty acids, for the most part), which affects their performance when they are made into biodiesel. In addition, the chemical structure of the alcohol that is reacted with the oil to create biodiesel can also affect the properties of the fuel. In general, the chemical properties that matter the most are the length of the biodiesel molecule, the amount of "branching" in the chain, and the degree of "saturation" of the molecule.
As shown in Table 1, these properties have both positive and negative effects on biodiesel, so it is not really possible to choose a "perfect" oil for biodiesel. As if this wasn't complicated enough, we need to also remember that cold-starting properties might be vital during winter in cold climates but unimportant in summertime or in warm parts of the world. On top of all that, it is possible to buy additives that improve some of the less-than-ideal properties of biodiesel.
|Positive effects
|Negative effects
|Length of molecule
|Increases the cetane number, heat of combustion; decreases NOx emissions
|Increases viscosity
|Amount of branching
|Decreases the gel point
|Decreases the cetane number
|Decreases NOx emissions, improves oxidative stability, reduces deposition
|Increases melting point and viscosity; reduces lubricity*
*Technically, the reduction in lubricity is due to the removal of polar compounds containing sulfur that are natural additives by hydrogenation and the formation of saturated compounds.
In general, longer molecules with more branching are beneficial to the performance of biodiesel but are seldom present in FAME. High unsaturation (high iodine number) leads to poor oxidative stability and is undesirable in bio- diesel. Of the many types of fatty acid found in vegetable oils, oleic acid is probably best, while linoleic is less desirable and linolenic acid is most undesirable.
With all this in mind, it appears that canola oil, with its high proportion of long, unsaturated fats (lots of oleic acid), may be slightly better for biodiesel fuel quality than some of the other oilseed crops, although this has not been conclusively confirmed with careful testing. Tropical oils such as palm oil, with their high proportion of saturated fats, tend to have significant problems with cold-weather performance, as they tend to solidify more readily than many other oils.
Making Biodiesel Better with Additives
Some of the properties of biodiesel fuel are not ideal from an engine performance point of view. Thankfully, additives can be used to counteract these problems and improve the overall quality of the fuel.
- Cold-flow improvers: these additives improve the cold-weather performance of biodiesel by limiting its ability to gel. They tend to only improve the operating range by about 5 degrees.
- Fuel stabilizers: these additives act as "antioxidants" to reduce the possibility of oxidation degradation of the fuel.
- Antimicrobial additives: it is possible for microbes to grow in biodiesel, resulting in clogged lines and fouled equipment. Antimicrobial additives prevent this by killing off any existing microbes and preventing them from returning.
- Detergent additives: these help reduce the formation of deposits on engine parts by forming a protective layer on the parts and dissolving existing deposits from the surfaces within the engine.
- Corrosion inhibitors: these also protect the engine by forming a protective layer on the components, thus preventing corrosive chemicals from reaching the surface.
A wide array of additives is available on the market today, and they can be purchased at an automotive shop or on the Internet. Often, a single product can be purchased that combines many or all of the above additives. The actual composition of these additives is usually a closely guarded trade secret, and not all additives perform the same. Users should keep track of how well a specific additive is working for them and take care to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the concentration and proper use of the additive. Keep in mind that there are many "snake oil" salesmen in the market today. Only deal with reputable companies and suppliers that are approved by your engine's manufacturer.
What About Blends?
Biodiesel fuel blends very easily with petroleum diesel. These blends are described by their percentage of biodiesel (e.g., "B20" has 20 percent biodiesel, 80 percent petroleum diesel). In general, the properties of a blend will lie somewhere between the properties of the biodiesel and the petroleum diesel. Blends are sometimes used to improve the lubricity of petroleum diesel or reduce its sulfur content.
Probably the most useful reason for a biodiesel producer to blend would be to improve cold-operating characteristics during the winter. A mix of 70 percent biodiesel and 30 percent petroleum diesel has been reported to be effective for mild winter conditions. Kerosene, also known as #1 diesel fuel, is blended with standard (#2) petroleum diesel during winter months (usually ~40 percent kerosene, 60 percent #2 diesel) to improve its cold-weather performance. This approach is probably the easiest way to make biodiesel usable during harsh midwinter conditions in Pennsylvania. However, keep in mind that only low-sulfur kerosene that is approved as an engine fuel should be used.
Biodiesel and petroleum diesel are very similar fuels, but they are not identical. However, the differences are remarkably small when we consider the radically different procedure for making biodiesel as compared to petroleum diesel. Many additives are available that can modify the properties of biodiesel fuel, and biodiesel can be easily blended with petroleum diesel fuel if desired.

Bank's Tucker says cannot relax bank requirements
Britain's banks must boost their capital buffers due to the lingering threat of a severe crisis in the euro zone, leaving the job of supporting the economy to the Bank of England's monetary policy, a top Bank official said on Tuesday.
Bank Deputy Governor Paul Tucker, who is responsible for financial stability, highlighted the need for new, so-called macroprudential tools to fight excesses in financial markets, according to the text of a speech to economists.
While such tools could allow a central bank to relax capital requirements to encourage banks to ease lending conditions, such a move was not sensible now, as the lingering threat of a severe crisis in the euro zone has left banks operating in an extraordinarily risky environment, Tucker said.
In current circumstances, gradually building resilience through retained earnings is best for stability and recovery, because it helps preserve the capacity to lend 'the day after tomorrow,' he said.
Tucker, who is seen as one of the potential contenders to follow Bank Governor Mervyn King at the helm of the Bank, is also a member of the Bank's new Financial Policy Committee, which is in charge of tackling systemic risks to financial stability.
The burden to underpin demand is now on monetary policy, Tucker said, noting that central banks like the Bank have injected extraordinary monetary stimulus.
That stimulus can be sustained only so long as medium-term inflation expectations remain anchored to our target of 2 percent. We must be alert to the need gradually to withdraw stimulus as and when recovery builds, he said.
The Bank's Monetary Policy Committee voted to extend its quantitative easing asset purchases by another 50 billion pounds earlier this month, though the voting record showed that two of the nine members favoured a larger boost.
Tucker had joined King in the majority vote to take the purchase total to 325 billion pounds.
Some of Tucker's fellow policymakers have indicated that another QE extension in May remains a possibility, although more upbeat news from the economy has eased concerns of a renewed recession.
The central bank predicts a modest recovery in the second half of this year after a weak start. It sees inflation falling below its 2 percent target towards the end of 2012.
In his speech, Tucker identified two main explanations for the strong credit growth and the asset price appreciation prior to the financial crisis.
First, a fall in the world safe real rate, due to excess savings in the East, he said. Second, increasing global liquidity, transmitted through expansive cross-border lending, kicked off by prolonged accommodative monetary policy.
Tucker said macroprudential policies had a key role in the future to tackle such developments.
We must not rely entirely on central banks 'mopping up' after financial crises, he said. We need overall macro regimes that aim to make chronic imbalances and over-indebtedness less likely and less threatening.
Central banks also had to take into account that the transmission of their policies was affected by risk appetite, and that they also affected risk-taking behaviour.
We need, in particular, to be ready to contain private sector liquidity creation even when it is not driving excess nominal demand growth, he said. That will amount to arresting occasionally the expansion or leverage of the banking system and shadow banking sectors.

Abandoned & Derelict Vessels
NOTE: This webpage is a stand-in for our ADV Task Force site which is currently down. Please contact Rachel for any background material that is not included here.
With a coastline longer than that of the Lower 48 states combined, the State of Alaska has many coastal and riverine communities accessible only by water means and located off of the road network. As a result, these communities see considerable marine and riverine vessel traffic. While still a young state, Alaska has become home to an ever aging fleet of vessels due to federal and state fishing rationalization programs, economic downturns, the inevitable aging and increased maintenance costs of these waterborne vessels, and increased requirements of vessel regulations and permits. Taken all together, many of these vessels have become uneconomical to operate as intended and therefore do not move and stay moored in a public harbor or anchored over public or state tidelands. These vessels form an increasing number of derelict and abandoned vessels throughout Alaska's coast and rivers. Without a clear and pro-active response strategy and program for dealing with abandoned and derelict vessels ("ADV") in public waters, the number of abandoned and derelict vessels will continue to increase and will leave the public to pay for the increased risk of damage to the natural environment.

Man charged with theft of rental car
A 32-year-old Wilkes Avenue man was charged Tuesday with stealing a rental car in which he allegedly fired three shots from a .45-caliber pistol on Ernest Avenue about noontime Monday.
Kevin M. Skinner II was charged about 10 a.m. with criminal possession of a weapon in the third-degree, reckless endangerment in the first-degree, grand larceny in the fourth-degree, criminal mischief, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and criminal possession of stolen property.
After a round of questioning, Skinner was charged with being the person who fired three shots into the dash board of the stolen rental car he was driving Monday. The Buffalo Police Camera Room was credited with confirming that a gunshot could be observed in the front seat of the stolen car on Ernest Avenue around noon Monday. Police said Tuesday that three bullet holes were found in the car.

Just waiting for the green light from the doctor so I can spread the news
The only person I told so far that there's a good chance I could be expecting is my 15 yr old niece. She was not happy at all she's the only girl in the family. This was the first time she has ever acted spoiled and self centered I was really shocked and hurt by her reaction so I'm just wondering what everyone else will say or how I will take their responses seeing that I'm thrilled. Keeping my fingers crossed until I know everything is ok.
Its rough if other people aren't supportive but the only person that really matters if they're happy is you. Sending baby dust your way ;)
well congrats to you! I wouldn't take what she's saying to heart too much she's a teenager. Hopefully your family can be happy for you and supportive!
I told my son today he was happy he said he was just worried that I was sick since I had been going to the doctor so much lately. After my 8 week scan I'm going to scream it from the rooftop.
Sending prayers and hugs!

"In Boral working culture and personnel development is So good."
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I have been working at Boral full-time (More than a year)
- Working culture.
- Personnel development.
- Safety
- in Boral working timing is not suitable.
Good professional company to work with.
No policise for promotion & increments
Advice to Management
No advice
The core of Boral lies in its generalist business, as it is one big conglomerate of business divisions.
Boral suits those engineers who want to develop their managerial skills from day one.
It does not suit the engineer who wants a structured career path in engineering per se (design, analysis etc.)
There are many different business units, from asphalt to concrete and quarries, plasterboard, bricks and timber etc You will not run out of things to do and jobs to learn.
Boral takes pride in its General Managers and to climb up the corporate ladder, they expect you to develop a generalist approach in running a business.
You would get exposure to project management, maintenance, contracting, production and manufaturing working on different sites to corporate planning and strategy development work at HQ.
You can very quickly learn about looking at a balance sheet and managing a P & L
Its also a people's business, and you would manage people and teams much earlier at Boral than you would at other "more structured" firms
Its a very flat structure, and access to your GM is as easy as almost anyone else.
Its an open door policy and you would not run out of mentors and people to give you direction.
Training and development is also well structured, as well as defined career paths.
Just like any other operations business, you are not surroudned by the world's intellectual talents. Working on site and in workshops means exposure to an english language of very limited vocabulary :) and some narrow minded people. It is not an office enviornment in the city where your surrounded by flashy degrees and nice people, eating toasted muffins and drinking caramel flatwhites. Operations are tough, and you will get tested. And you almost really only get one shot at it. First impression means everything. We dont do long hours but we def start early. Working culture is something that would be very hard to change but you might actually see the challenge in that. You will get thrown in the deep end when you start, and you will be monitored. In an operations business you can get left in an area esp when your doing a good job, so you will constantly have to put your hand up and make yourself known to the seniors.
Advice to Management
Maybe consider secondments to management consulting firms, instead of losing some good employees to them who want to cross the bridge and do some of that work, why not offer consultants an operations experience, and get our operations people to consult, and therefore, make them more rounded managers. I would love to have that opportunity presented to me.

For those who feel he got away with so much more, O.J. Simpson may not get much sympathy in this story; but though he is said to suffer from severe diabetes, the ex football player's sweet tooth overpowered him and he was caught red-handed with a concealed batch of oatmeal cookies as he headed back to his cell.
"O.J. just stood there with a goofy grin on his face as the guard kept digging inside his shirt and throwing the cookies on the floor," a source told The National Enquirer, according to the Daily Mail Online.
This was a hilarious scene for his fellow prisoners, who had thought something much more sinister was being concealed by the 66-year-old Simpson.
'So when the guard started pulling cookies out of O.J.'s shirt, the other inmates started laughing so hard they nearly fell over,' the insider added.
Simpson is currently serving a 33-year sentence for his participation in a Las Vegas armed robbery, and needless to say, heisting extra cookies for enjoyment in your cell is not taken lightly by the prison guards; who could have written him up, but instead, let him off with a warning.
O.J. is said to have attempted dieting after doctors warned him to stay off fatty foods and exercise more. But sources say that after a few weeks he gave up.
