SG Systems Tube Guitar Amp Gibson vintage
Early 70's Space Age look 2x12 tube guitar amp. The SG Systems amps were made at the old Standel plant in El Monte, California in 1974 when Chicago Musical Instruments (CMI) purchased Standel. Back in '74 CMI and Gibson were owned by a company called Norlin. I called Gibson customer service they emailed me the schematics for this amp (included with amp).Model SG 209. Pretty rare amp and is considered the Edsel of guitar amps (cool retro design, but largely ignored). The amp has two channels. Channel one has volume, treble and bass controls, and hi and lo inputs for guitar. There is a master volume control knob with a red pilot light between the two channels. Channel two has volume control knob, reverb (controls the spring reverb unit), treble, bass, and wave form controls, along with hi and lo guitar inputs. To the far right there is a built in notch shift dial, a mid knob, and an accent knob, with "Dynamic Voicing" printed under this. On the back there is an on/off toggle switch, a standby toggle switch, a reset button, a 200w plug-in, and the power cord. There are also jacks labeled Waveform/Reverb, External Speaker, and Signal Line. It has a handle on the top and casters on the bottom. This amp is HEAVY. Everything works and you can dial in some great retro rock ... read more

Responding to criticism by a high-ranking member of the House's tax-writing committee, the IRS now admits it should have scuttled a quirky video based on the iconic Star Trek TV show. But the agency continues to maintain that another video parody, this one based on Gilligan's Island, should not be cast away.
Both parodies were shot at a special studio where the IRS has produced numerous YouTube videos designed to educate taxpayers and practitioners. The IRS presented the Star Trek clip at a training and leadership conference in 2010, while the Gilligan's Island segment was used to train its staffers nationwide. The combined price tag for the two videos was $60,000.
Back on February 11, Ways and Means Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Charles Boustany Jr. (R-LA) sent a letter to IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller requesting that the IRS turn over copies of the videos. When Miller responded on March 4, he acknowledged the existence of the parodies, but did not take any further action. Boustany then followed up with a second request on March 20.
In a prepared statement to the media, the IRS said the six-minute Star Trek video "was a well-intentioned, light-hearted introduction to an important conference." It opens with a variation on the well-known theme. "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise Y. Its never-ending mission: to seek out new tax forms, to explore strange new regulations, to boldly go where no government employee has gone before."
The plot centers around the efforts of the Enterprise crew, seeking to help the planet "Notax" that is plagued with money laundering, tax evasion using "off-planet accounts", and alien identity theft. It features iconic characters from the Star Trek series, such as Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, engineer Scotty, and crew member Chekov.
But now the IRS is charting a different course. "The IRS recognizes and takes seriously our obligation to be good stewards of government resources and taxpayer dollars", the statement said. "There is no mistaking that this video did not reflect the best stewardship of resources."
The IRS is currently facing increased pressure to cut costs due to the budget sequester.
Conversely, with the Gilligan's Island video, the IRS believes it is on firmer ground. In the video, the castaways discuss "Field Assistance TACs" and explain ways to best assist taxpayers. The spoof is rife with inside jokes and puns, but it contains far more instructional material than the Star Trek video. The IRS claims that its program using such videos for training purposes saved an estimated $1.5 million in travel reduction and other costs in 2011.

Israeli housing minister Uri Ariel visited the Al-Aqsa mosque compound on Wednesday under Israeli police protection Maan reported.
Witnesses said that Ariel, who is a member of the far-right Jewish Home party, headed a tour group of some 100 right-wing religious students and Rabbis.
The group entered through the Mughrabi gate and exited through the Chain gate. The tour lasted around 45 minutes.
Last week, Ariel said that Israel should have full sovereignty over the Al-Aqsa compound and that the site must be open "at any hour to every Jew."
The minister's comments and a series of recent of visits by Israeli rightists have created a sense of fear among Al-Aqsa authorities about control of the holy site.
Head of the Islamic Higher Commission, Sheikh Ekrima Sabri, told Ma'an Tuesday that repeated incursions by Jewish extremists "confirm Israeli ambitions and the risks to the mosque."
He pointed to the division of the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron, which is separated into two parts.
The compound, which sits just above the Western Wall plaza, houses both the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa mosque and is the third holiest site in Islam.
It is also venerated as Judaism's most holy place as it sits where Jews believe the First and Second Temples once stood.
According to mainstream religious leaders, Jews are forbidden from entering for fear they would profane the "Holy of Holies" the inner sanctum of the Second Temple.

Jacksonville came up big in its final regular-season golf match of the season Tuesday.
Jacksonville came up big in its final regular-season golf match of the season Tuesday.
Not only did the Cardinals clinch the Coastal 3-A Conference title and polish ed an undefeated run through the league, they also had a trio of golfers tie for medalist honors at the Jacksonville Country Club.
With Zack Mabee, Brody Padilla and Jake Whitehead all shooting 9-over 81s, the Cardinals shot 328 to beat out West Craven by 17 strokes.
�I�ve never seen that,� JHS coach Tim Hood said. �I�ve seen two guys tie for medalist on different teams, but not three from the same team.�
The win also gave the Cardinals the league title by 126 strokes.
And while he didn�t earn medalist honors, Swansboro�s Ryan Whalen earned player-of-the-year honors with his 83.
�I thought even though we lost little Reggie (Crews to graduation), we had some guys coming back and I felt like if everybody stepped up we had a good chance of competing in this new conference (after statewide realignment),� Hood said. �We�re proud that we won every single match, and the girls in the fall won every single match. I don�t know if that will happen again, but it was a neat thing.�
Mabee and Padilla earned all-conference honors for the Cardinals along with Quentin Davis and Sergio Luckett.
The Cardinals now head to the 3-A East Regioinals at the Carolina National Golf Course in Bolivia along with West Carteret and West Craven.
Four individuals whose teams didn�t make the regionals also qualified. They were Whalen and teammate Alex O�Connor along with Richlands� Josh Janiec and Havelock�s Greyson Randolph.

The most important questions to ask educators are "what are you doing?" and "why are you doing it?" These two questions have guided my thinking and research in the area of children's challenging behaviours. The focus of my research has been threefold including an investigation of the relationship between the difficult behaviours exhibited by children with attention problems and their academic engagement in literacy; consideration of the environment in which children learn and interact; and examination of what teachers do or can do to support learners with challenging behaviours to learn and interact positively in the education environment.
I have been able to investigate the link between attention problems and early literacy problems longitudinally with a data base which includes variables on children from school entry at 5 years of age and spanning their first three years in school. Follow-up data was collected five years later. In a series of studies we reported that difficult behaviour compromised the selection of boys exhibiting those behaviours into special programmes, i.e., Reading Recovery (Prochnow, Tunmer, Chapman, & Greaney, 2001); that only attention problems were significantly linked to early literacy problems (Chapman, Tunmer, & Prochnow, 2004); and that the remedial programmes available to the children in New Zealand did not appear to have lasting effects (Tunmer, Chapman, & Prochnow, 2004, 2006; Prochnow, 2004). Presently, our research has examined more deeply the link between early literacy acquisition and attention problems. This comprehensive examination of the current literature and our data seem to indicate that differences in early literacy acquisition begin to appear early and are related to the method of instruction in New Zealand which assumes preliteracy skills which are not universally shared by all of the children entering school (Prochnow, Tunmer, & Chapman, 2013). We are now beginning a training programme and experimental longitudinal study to examine early literacy development in children.
Consideration of the environment in which children learn and interact is multidimensional. Teachers generally feel unsupported and unprepared to work with learners with challenging behaviours in the classroom. Teacher resistance to inclusion and expectations of no support to work with difficult children have led to accusations of (differential) teacher expectations of minority learners and deficit theorizing characterizing New Zealand schools. Currently a colleague and myself are examiniing understandings of the ill-defined term "continual disobedience" applied to youth which can result in stand downs and suspension.
In my recent work with Angus Macfarlane, we have examined the cultural environment of our schools and teacher and learner responsiveness to cultural issues (Prochnow & Macfarlane, 2010). In addition to looking at the contribution of culture and cultural awareness to create a positive education experience, Macfarlane and I have discussed the interventions and procedures known as restorative practices (Prochnow, Macfarlane, & Glynn, 2011; Macfarlane & Prochnow, 2011). These practices challenge the structure of discipline and focus on repairing relationships damaged by difficult behaviours, disrespect, and noncompliance.

Bloodbath Coming? US Margin Debt Reaches 'Danger' Levels, China, Japan Lead Record Investor Flight From US Bonds, 'Hindenburg Omen' Looms Over S&P, Treasury Yields Keep Rising
Rates, Yen, And Another Fat Finger Trader All Moving Today's Market
Investors euphoric as US margin debt reaches 'danger' levels
Fund managers are around the world are gripped by euphoria, convinced that America is in full recovery and Europe has overcome its debt crisis.
Bank of America's monthly survey of investors showed a dramatic rise in confidence in August, with a net 72pc expecting growth to accelerate over the next year. It is the highest in reading since 2009.
Almost everybody expects bond yields to rise as deflation fears evaporate, with just 3pc still worried about the risk of an economic relapse. Managers have slashed their bond allocation to a 28-month low.
China, Japan Lead Record Investor Flight From US Bonds
China and Japan led an exodus from U.S. Treasurys in June after the first signals the U.S. central bank was preparing to wind back its stimulus, with data showing they accounted for almost all of a record $40.8 billion of net foreign selling of Treasurys.
The sales were part of $66.9 billion of net sales by foreigners of long-term U.S. securities in June, a fifth straight month of outflows and the largest since August 2007, U.S. Treasury Department data showed.
China, the largest foreign creditor, reduced its Treasury holdings to $1.2758 trillion, and Japan trimmed its holdings for a third straight month to $1.0834 trillion. Combined, they accounted for about $40 billion in net Treasury outflows.
Treasury yields keep rising
'Hindenburg Omen' looms over S&P 500 as stocks stall
A technical analysis pattern for stock traders has pointed to an impending crash in stocks, adding to an increasing chorus of voices that have turned bearish on equities for the second half of the year.
The "Hindenburg Omen" – named after the Hindenburg disaster of 1937, in which the Zeppelin airship Hindenburg crashed and burned – is once again hovering over markets, according to Ron William, founder and principal market strategist at RW Market Advisory.
"The S&P 500 has hit an all-time high not so long ago, yet a lot of the stocks within the S&P 500 are actually making their yearly lows, suggesting some internal weakness in the stock market," he told CNBC Friday.
"[It's] maybe a good time to take profits within the market if indeed you see more downside risk coming up."
Investors Are Rotating Out Of The US And Into Europe
European equity funds just had their biggest week in more than two years, taking in $2.3 billion in new assets under management (AUM).
Curiously, in the same week, U.S. equity funds – which have seen robust expansion of AUM all year, including recent notable inflows of $2 billion a day at the beginning of July – got hit with their first outflows in seven weeks as investors redeemed $1.9 billion.
"Largest weekly inflows to European equity funds in more than 2 years ($2.3bn) confirms Europe back in fashion," says BofA Merrill Lynch chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett.

Jim Paulsen: End of QE Could Be a Tonic For Stocks
Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist of Wells Capital Management, is a contrarian when it comes to the end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QE) program. Instead of it being the disaster for stocks that many predict, he says it could set the stage for a market liftoff to the upside.
Jobs, Inflation Data Support Tapering of Fed Bond Purchases
The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell to a near six-year low last week and consumer prices rose broadly in July, which could draw the Federal Reserve closer to trimming its massive bond buying program.
Is Selling Bonds the Taste of Things to Come?
Treasury yields are on the rise as I have noted on numerous occasions recently.
The action has prompted the world's largest hedge-fund manager, to throw in the towel on treasuries and inflation-linked TIPS.
What I do know is leverage works both ways. I also know that the Fed has so distorted the economic horizon that it is next to impossible to predict what's coming down the pike.
Stocks, bonds, and commodities other than gold all rose in union over the past few years. My bet is on an unwinding of that trade.

Housing Starts Miss Expectations
The headline index of confidence fell to 80.0 in August from July's 85.1 reading. Economists had predicted a tick up to 85.2.
The sub-index of economic conditions fell to 91.0 from 98.6.
The economic outlook sub-index fell to 72.9 from 76.5.

Ciara's new album, "Fantasy Ride," is finally here! But the 23-year-old singer made a critical decision before it released: keeping the duet "Turntables" with Chris Brown on the track list. Despite the fact that Brown is being dropped from endorsement deals and publicly criticized for his alleged assault against former girlfriend Rihanna, Ciara went with her gut and kept the track on her album. In the below interview with MTV, she explains why:
So it's more about the music for Ciara than anything, but we can't help but wonder if standing by Brown will affect her record sales one way or the other. Check her out performing her new single, "Never Ever," on Good Morning America:

Carbon groups urged to send support for narrowband-capable radios grant
Municipalities, ambulance organizations, fire companies, and police in Carbon County participating in a nearly $2 million grant application for the purchase of narrowband-capable radios and other devices and have not yet sent the county commissioners their letter of support, please do so now, officials ask.
During the county commissioners' meeting on Thursday, Commissioner Wayne Nothstein stressed the importance of these letters.
"The more letters of support we have (with the application), the better chance we will have at getting the grant," he said.
Nothstein said he has been trying to contact the municipalities and emergency services who have not yet sent in their letter of support. This letter is needed as soon as possible because the application will be sent in next month.
He added that if the letter was sent to the state, the county still needs a copy of it to include in the application.
Municipalities who have not yet sent their letters of support for this project to the county include Banks Township, Kidder Township, Lansford, Lausanne Township, Lower Towamensing Township, Mahoning Township, Nesquehoning, Packer Township, Parryville, and Towamensing Township.
Emergency services that have not sent their letters yet are: fire companies: Beaver Meadows, Franklin Township, Lansford, Mahoning Valley, Penn Forest Township No. 1, Summit Hill, Tresckow, and Towamensing Township; police: Banks Township, Beaver Meadows, East Penn Township, Franklin Township, Mahoning Township, Palmerton, Weatherly, and Weissport; and ambulance: Lake Harmony Rescue, Lansford, Nesquehoning, Palmerton Community, and Greater Weatherly.
Nothstein said that if any municipality or emergency service agency needs assistance in writing the letter, they can contact him at the commissioners' office at (570) 325-3611 and he can provide some sample letters.
To submit a letter, send it to Commissioners' Office, P.O. Box 129, Jim Thorpe, PA 18229; fax it to (570) 325-3622 or email it to email@example.com.
In recent months, Carbon County has volunteered to take the lead on a countywide grant application for local share monies through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development to help area municipalities and emergency services get the funds they need to replace their radios, pagers and other communication devices. The need to replace this equipment is due to a Federal Communications Commission mandate that is changing frequencies to narrowband frequencies, meaning that there will be more channels available for emergency services. The cost of this equipment is estimated to be between $500 and $2,000 per item. The deadline for changeover is Dec. 31, 2012.
In other matters, the county voted to increase the fines for people who park at county parking meters in Jim Thorpe and either do not feed the meter or let the meter run out. The new fines will be $10, up from $5.
Commissioner William O'Gurek, chairman, explained that this action is consistent with what the borough of Jim Thorpe is doing with its meter fines.
What was happening, O'Gurek said, was people were parking at a meter and staying there all day on the $5 fine, instead of paying $5 and parking in the county-owned parking lot.
"This way, we are hoping to get back to the true meaning of those meters, which is to turn over cars using an allotted time," he said.

What determines a patient's treatment? Evidence from out of hours primary care co-op data in the Republic of Ireland
This study explores consistency in healthcare. It investigates whether vulnerable groups in the population receive the most appropriate care. This is achieved by considering the case study of individuals who present to out of hours (OOH) primary care services in the Republic of Ireland with gastroenteritis. Specifically an individual can potentially receive four services; nurse advice, doctor advice, a treatment centre consultation or a home visit. Results show that service choice is influenced by patient, call and seasonal characteristics to varying degrees. Patient symptoms are the primary driver of the type of service the patients receives. Results also indicate that the OOH primary care facilities individual characteristics do not affect service choice. This suggests a degree of consistent care across these organisations. It also provides evidence that service choice is exogenous to the organisation. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2007

There were two pieces of audio I heard on Tuesday -- both for completely different reasons -- and both have stuck with me for the better part of the week.
The first was John Muckler's post-season wrap-up news conference, and the second was Blindfold, a song by SoCal punk rock band Pulley.
The majority of Muckler's news conference focused on the surprising revelation that there "wouldn't be a great deal of changes" to the Senators' current roster -- a statement that was ultimately reported and heavily criticized by some media.
After the conference, I gravitated towards my computer's music library. The Pulley song played, and I listened to the chorus: "It's only over when you've given up on me."
It was too bizarre. In the midst of drum fills and guitar riffs, a former MLB pitcher-turned-singer was providing the current mantra for the Senators and their fans.
I was left to wonder if one of the most important men in the Sens organization realized it himself, even if he likely didn't share my taste in music.
When you have a team forever on the brink and fans at their breaking point, something's got to give. Maybe it doesn't come down to a major overhaul, but it's got to be more than a tweak -- the daunting task of future contract negotiations alone would suggest that.
But standing pat, remaining idle, whatever you want to call it -- that's what Muckler appears to be doing. He wants all the cogs to stay in place. He even left the door open for Dominik Hasek. Frankly, most would've been less surprised with the return of Patrick Lalime to the capital.
At what point does common sense take over from loyalty? Hasek isn't going to approach Muckler and say, "It's only over when you've given up on me," but isn't it obvious that everyone else already has?
And what about Wade Redden? Does the team speak this same mantra to him as he continues to ponder his future? The nine seasons he's spent here undoubtedly have provided some perspective regarding the continuation of his career. The question remains of whether he can accomplish his ultimate goal with the Senators. Unrestricted free agency provides an out. So is it over for Redden? Has he given up on a Stanley Cup victory for Ottawa?
Then there are the long-suffering fans. They remain vocal, however, observers now paint them with the reputation of being abruptly fickle. Before last Thursday's game, a multitude of Senators' supporters chose to fling themselves off the bandwagon before the series was even finished. The mantra applied to these people, because although the series in actuality concluded on Saturday, a number of them had already given up. It was over.
But the rest -- the large group that remains overwhelmingly supportive of this franchise -- is growing impatient. The last thing they want to do is sit through another seven-month-long regular season, only to see the playoff moments fade too quickly. Their torment will only end when a) Ottawa finally brings home a championship or b) they switch their allegiance to another team.
"It's only over when you've given up on me." You can change the pronouns to fit the variables -- be it team, individual or otherwise -- but it's a painful slogan that fits the current state of the Senators. You can ultimately blame Scott Radinsky for writing it ... and Sens fans are still in a blaming mood, aren't they?
CZECH THIS OUT: On Wednesday night, TSN touted the world championship Czech Republic vs. Russia quarter-final as a battle between Jan Bulis and Alexander Ovechkin. It doesn't seem like an even matchup. Is it then ironic that the Czechs pulled off the OT victory?
BABY LEAFS: Throughout the playoffs, various drugstores in Ottawa were selling Senators fan gear. However at one location, I spotted a small cache of Leafs paraphernalia, all infant-oriented: Baby bottles, soothers, booties, etc. One of their merchandisers obviously has a keen sense of humour.
FAN-DEMONIUM: Edmonton fans are delirious over the Oilers' success, and rightfully so. But if the unruly behaviour keeps up after games, they may want to consider replacing the silver streamers that drop in the arena, with those zip-tie makeshift handcuffs that law enforcement uses.

"GSA is actively working with federal agencies to identify and timely dispose of unneeded properties," said Sara Manzano-Diaz, Mid-Atlantic Regional Administrator. "Moving properties into the disposal process makes more efficient use of the government's real estate assets. The sale of this property has the potential to help spur new development."
In 2014, GSA sold or transferred 342 facilities across the country, generating more than $42.7 million in sales. This is a 60% increase in the volume of disposals from 2013.
The Appraisers' Stores is located at 103 South Gay Street in the Baltimore's Central Business District (CBD) and just blocks away from the Inner Harbor, at the intersection of Lombard and South Gay Streets. The Appraisers' Stores is an Art Deco architectural style building constructed in 1934. It is an eight-story, 169,801 gross square foot structure situated on approximately 0.387 acre. The total rentable area is 147,272 square feet. The building was constructed for the U.S. Customs Services and the primary intended use was to provide space for storing, appraising, and inspecting imported merchandise brought through the Port of Baltimore. The building does not provide onsite parking, but street parking is available and two large privately-owned parking garages are located adjacent to the site. The building was initially constructed as examination/laboratory space for the United States Customs Service in conjunction with the nearby Customs House. The Customs Service vacated the Appraisers' Stores in 1983 and made it available for use by other federal agencies as office space.
Those planning to attend the open house should arrive early. Additional information is available through a search for Maryland properties at www.propertydisposal.gsa.gov or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

2. Asia: South and Central
In Afghanistan, a new Internet cafe and haven for women will have its grand opening in honor of International Women's Day. The cafe, located in Kabul, is dedicated to Sahar Gul, an Afghan woman who was forced to marry at 14 and was abused by her in-laws. "She claimed not only her body and womanhood, but also her freedom as she resisted for months under torture and inhumane treatment," writes Young Women for Change, the NGO hosting the event and opening the new cafe, which aims to help Afghan women communicate and connect.
Meanwhile, one event in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan, takes friendly competition to a new level. The celebration includes contests in dry-flower arrangement, drama, cooking and dining. In Islamabad, a consortium of NGOs, government affiliates, and private enterprises are joining in the first "Women at Work" festival. The five-day celebration, kicking off on today, includes more than 100 stalls staffed by female workers from "all walks of life," and also features traditional food, art, and entertainment.
The Turkmenistan government will honor mothers by awarding a special title and badge to women with eight or more children, according to The Times of Central Asia. More than 160 Turkmen women are expected to receive the award this year, which may include perks like free tooth replacements and public transportation.
Progress Watch:
+ Central Asia has achieved gender parity for secondary education, according to the 2011 Millennium Development Goal report.
– Data from 57 countries show that when women are a part of the police force, more citizens report incidents of sexual assault, according to UN Women. In South Asia, however, women make up, on average, 3 percent of the region's police.

Three Hills is a town located in the southern part of the province of Alberta, Canada. It takes its name from the three highly visible hills that are situated to its north.
Three Hills was incorporated as a village in 1912, the year it was moved to its current location on the Canadian Northern Railway. With ranchers and farmers constituting its first residents, it soon became a centre for the surrounding wheat-growing area.
In 1922, the Prairie Bible Institute[5] was established in Three Hills with L. E. Maxwell as its founding principal. This occurrence helped to increase the population of the town proper and its adjacent settlements. By the mid 1980s, the 130-acre (0.53 km2) Bible College campus and the nearby hamlets of Grantville[6][7] and Ruarkville[8][9] were annexed to the town.
Although a relatively small community, Three Hills had the distinction of hosting the Alberta Seniors Games in the summer of 1998.[10] The town was chosen to host this event because of its ability to utilize large and well equipped facilities at the college. This included the opening and closing ceremonies which took place in the 4,300 seat Maxwell Memorial Tabernacle, located on the Bible College campus.
The Maxwell Tabernacle was Canada's largest religious auditorium before it was demolished in 2005. It operated from 1954 to 2005 as a local church, concert hall, and graduation auditorium for Prairie Bible Institute and Three Hills School high school classes.
Because of development regarding the nearby methane fields, the food and lodging industries in Three Hills have grown considerably over the past few years.
In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Three Hills recorded a population of 3,212 living in 1,232 of its 1,306 total private dwellings, a 0.4% change from its 2011 population of 3,198. With a land area of 6.75 km2 (2.61 sq mi), it had a population density of 475.9/km2 (1,232.5/sq mi) in 2016.[3]
The Town of Three Hills' 2012 municipal census counted a population of 3,230,[11] a 2.8% decrease from its 2008 municipal census population of 3,322.[12]
In the 2011 Census, the Town of Three Hills had a population of 3,198 living in 1,178 of its 1,257 total dwellings, a 3.5% change from its 2006 population of 3,089. With a land area of 5.63 km2 (2.17 sq mi), it had a population density of 568.0/km2 (1,471.2/sq mi) in 2011.[13]

OTTAWA — The federal government has narrowed its prostitution bill to ban sex workers from plying their trade anywhere near "schools, day cares or playgrounds."
The original wording kept solicitation away from anywhere children could be "reasonably" expected to be, which sex workers, their advocates and lawyers argued was too broad and could have the potential effect of criminalizing the prostitutes, something the bill specifically did not want to do.
Parliamentary Secretary to the Justice Minister, Bob Dechert told a justice committee the amendment was in sex workers' best interest by allowing them to work from their own homes.
"Please choose to do it in a safe way," he said. "We're giving you that power; the police are not going to harass you for being in your own apartment or advertising your own services."
The controversial bill proposes to criminalize the purchase of sex but not its sale.

There are two scratches on the headstock and scratches on the pickguard. Easily 9/10 condition. About 10 lbs. 1999-2000 CIJ '62 reissue Jazz Bass in Fiesta Red. Lot's of mods. Alleva Coppolo pick ups, stacked knobs, red tort guard. This bass has been played but not abused. Some small dings on the body, scratches on the headstock, a scratch on the side of the fingerboard that I couldn't get to show up on camera. Still a nice bass and a head turner. About 9.5 lbs. What I'm looking for is: Ideally, someone will see this post and say to themselves "I can get all my jazz bass tones covered with these two basses" (which you can) and offer me a Sadowsky Metro HP, or my old custom shop '59 reissue that I sold here. But I'd trade both of these for a high quality P Bass. I would trade ONE of these basses for a Lakland Duck Dunn or the "right" P Bass. What I'm not looking for is: Anything MIMexico, US Standard or Deluxe P Basses after 1980. Let's see what offers come through. Edit (3/16) Found a bass locally that I might buy so shipped price on each is $750. {}

This yields enormous rewards for the effort. Constant high-quality attractive blooms all summer and they're available from seed or six pack. Sure, like most zinnias, it gets mildew if you're in a mildew-prone area but by the time it does too much damage, you've gotten more than your time and effort worth.
On Aug 23, 2008, Florida9 from Palm Harbor, FL (Zone 9b) wrote:
I started these from seed indoors and had them out front and blooming by April, matching the color of the small crown-of-thorns behind them. I am thrilled that they are still blooming strongly in late August after a hot humid few months here. As long as I trim off the fading flowers every few days they continue to bloom freely. I did have to spray them with a little Physan for fungus a couple of times, but they did much better than the Dreamland Pink I planted out back, which died in July. I threw the old flowers in the back of the flower bed, where they self-seeded freely. I moved a few of the seedlings up front to extend the row, but had failed to figure they wouldn't come true. I now have some deeper reds and one bright orange zinnia! I will definitely repeat these next year.

My plants have just opened their first blooms from seeds that I started indoors. This was my first time growing these zinnia and every seed did germinate. Although they have shorter stems, they do last for over a week in water and still look fresh. Their large bloom size is impressive to boot. I was so impressed with the coral that I purchased the Magellan seed mix for next season.

LONDON, April 12 (UPI) -- The Leading Economic Index for Britain rose 0.4 percent in February after climbing 0.2 percent in January, The Conference Board said Friday.
The index rose to 102.4 as four of the seven component indexes made gains in the month, The Conference Board said.
The index assigns a base value of 100 to the year 2004. A number above 100 shows the indicators have risen compared with the average for the index in 2004. Conversely, if the index is less than 100, the indicators are lower than the average for 2004.
The Conference Board said the Coincident Index for Britain, which measures current economic activity, also rose 0.2 percent in February after a decline of 0.1 percent in January.
The Coincident Index slipped to 104.2.
"Recent gains in the U.K. LEI signal the potential for a modest recovery in the U.K. economy later this year, especially if improvements in business confidence continue," said Brian Schaitkin, economist for Europe with The Conference Board.
"However, financial turbulence in the Euro Area remains a major downside risk that could delay a turnaround in economic growth," he said in a statement.

I finished my chemo today!! CA-125 from last week was 6 and a CT scan is scheduled for January. Got a statin prescription from my internist after I gave him some info from my research on their anti-cancer properties. I loved the price - $10 for a hundred tablets. My oncologist and I discussed using anti-estrogen therapy but she wants me to wait to see if there is a clinical trial with some form of consolidation immunotherapy. She pointed out that I might be disqualified if I started this other regimen right away. I did try to get in UCSF to get some ideas but they are not taking any 2nd opinion consultations at this time. Am still looking for a clinical trial that is open for consolidation therapy - if you hear of one, let me know.
In the meantime I am going to celebrate and rejoice in the day. Six months ago I was severely ill and had massive ascites. I truly didn't know if I would even survive for a couple of months. I'm now back at work part time and life is good. I have had many people praying for me and my place of work was absolutely wonderful about my six months off.

Admit it: You pretend to use the Force to open automatic sliding doors when you're in public. I know I do. Now, developer Lat Ware is working on a game that allows players to move objects with just their thoughts.
Ware's first-person telekinesis game Throw Trucks With Your Mind just ended its Kickstarter campaign with $43,000. That's a smidge over its $40,000 goal. The developer is going to start working full-time to get the title out between this October and March 2014.
For the unaware, Throw Trucks uses an EEG reader to monitor a player's level of focus and calm. Those brainwaves are then translated into controls that determine how hard and fast the in-game object goes flying. It's a difficult concept to explain (you can read our in-depth preview here), but here's a look at some of the mind-controlled action in motion:
Ware plans to use the funds to pay an artist and level designer to take the basic framework he has now and turn it into a final product. The designer will replace the current placeholder visuals with a more cartoon look. The sci-fi industrial characters will give way to hipster wizards and a super-intelligent cat in a mech suit.

Touch Develop does a really nice job of generating all of the images needed for a Windows 8 application that is being exported IF you provide a good imagine as part of the export. I put together around 90 images that can be used during the export process from Touch Develop to generate the images for your application. You can find these images here. If you're building converter apps, weather apps and the like these images are a great place to start.
Additionally, I put together the following blog post and accompanying video if you want to build your own images. It's pretty easy to create app art if you have PowerPoint.

Date: 13/08/2008 Category: Young People
Teenagers who use a youth centre in Strood have raised £100 for a leading charity that supports children with cancer. Strood Youth Centre in Montford Road, threw open its doors to the community on 30 July to support the charity CLIC Sargent. Footballers from Charlton FC got in on the act by agreeing to a penalty shoot-out, while visitors helped raise money by entering a pool competition, have their face painted, bought cakes and wore fancy dress costumes. X-Factor contestant Ashley McKenzie also put in an appearance at the fun-packed event. Youth worker Karen Yusuf said: "The event was a great success. We had a good turn-out and there was a fantastic atmosphere. "The event had been organised by young people who attend the centre. They chose the charity, the activities and the special guest and even designed the poster to publicise the evening. "An event like this teaches the young people new skills and gets them active." Portfolio Holder for Children's Services, Councillor Les Wicks said: "This is a really positive way to raise money and an enjoyable way to get the local community involved in such a worthwhile cause." Dan Powell, the charity's community fund-raising manager for the south east, said: "On behalf of all of the children and young people CLIC Sargent work with can I say a huge thank you to the teenagers who organised this event. "We rely on the generosity of the public to fund our vital work which includes two CLIC Sargent nurses based at the Medway Maritime Hospital. These nurses work in the community with young people and their families to help them at an incredibly difficult time by providing clinical and emotional support. Thank you again and well done." At 1pm on Thursday, 21 August, the teenagers will present their donation to a charity representative. You are welcome to send a photographer / media crew to the presentation. Visitors paid £1 to enter the centre, and every penny raised will be given to the charity. CLIC Sargent provides individual support to children and young people with cancer and leukaemia and their families. For further information, contact the centre on 01634 718196

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by seb23, Aug 14, 2011.
Can someone tell me the differences between these rackets please?
Why yes, I've played with all three!
The Aeropro Drive is definitely the most powerful of the three. Huge power, lots of spin, a fantastic stick. It rips the cover off of any ball it comes close to. It feels just the slightest bit hollow compared to the other two.
The Aero Storm became my racquet of choice in April of this year. It has some free pop as well, but it's not overwhelming. Spin is very easy to access and it's an incredibly solid racquet. I feel like with good technique I can hit out as hard as I want to, but if I'm lazy, the extra pop takes over and can be a bit unpredictable-but that's a user error issue. Overall, it won me over because it provides a middle ground between the APDGT and the PSGT. It's incredibly solid and is firm without being harsh, and has great feel.
The Pure Storm would probably be my racquet of choice if not for the Aero Storm. Just as much spin, a little less power, and it swings a lot faster, IMO. That being said, it's still very solid and has a soft, buttery feel without being noodly. By comparison, the ASGT has a bit more of a raw feel, and a somewhat heftier SW.
A quick guide:
TheOneHander is totally spot on! So to simplify real quick:
APD is a easy-to-use tweener racquet that gets easy power and spin.
PS is the true player's racquet that has loads of feel and control, especially the Tour and LTD models.
AS is the in-between of the two. It has great control, yet it has a forgiving amount of power and spin, which makes it a great bridge racquet between the 2.

As with MOCpages, so with life. Not everything always runs smoothly.
About this creation
When our favourite website experiences problems, we realize how much we value it. Thanks are due to Sean et al for beavering away to fix it. I only hope they do a better job than these guys...
'When red light shows wait here' Ho hum. Another dropped stitch in life's rich tapestry..
At least they're all busy. Well, most of them...
That excavator is from the 8888 ideas book - a wonderful repository of vintage brilliance. Not a MOC, then..
Does he do any work ?
That's the last of the debris. Now for the tricky bit...
'OK! Ready!'
Line it up. Nice and slow. Steady...
Oh, Monkey Trumpets! You knew that would happen, didn't you ?
'One of us'll have to fix that.'
'Yes, or we'll have broken pictures for all eternity...'
'Quick! Fill it in...' That portaloo shouldn't be there, right next to the pavement..
'Good. We'll get this crane driver to move it. Did he make that with the 850 and 855 sets ?'
'How should I know..?' Sort of a MOC, then...
OK, in position...
And lift it up...
Oops! Ewww! Finally a chance to use my odd shaped brown piece...
Hide it with a roller... it steers, there's an engine in there somewhere.. hooray! A MOC!
'Are you going to do any work ?'
'What ? I'm just wondering if we'll ever see a modern car go past...'
'Oh, now you're just being ridiculous...'
With thanks to Sean Kenney and all those who make this excellent site what it is. Get well soon, MOCpages!

Glorious and Nostalgic Lego ! You are a lego builder of similar Ilk, or at least I used to be, now I`m just a collector of lego Knights, and I`ve had a jolly good effort of Castle. I sold all my Technical Lego on ebay a while ago, except for the tech. bricks, always useful. Anyway, your stuff is super and takes me back to my childhood and the magic of building vehicles with the period technical bricks & pieces and Lego Villages of mini figure scale. Long may your rather skilful lego building continue !>.....well done to you Nick.

Oh, this is so retro! I love the usage of all these vintage parts, especially the "not so mini figures" and the old System and Technic wheels. I recognized the excavator instantaneously, as last week I had looked after some of my old LEGO stuff I still have in the basement, and had found some old intruction books, including 8888 and 8889. Some of the models in that books are still cool.

Wow this looks great and fun to play with. Did you make the digger or is it a set? And where can i get these old-school sets.
Thanks Vincent. The digger is in the 8888 ideas book. I've had most of these sets for 30 years, although they can be found on eBay.

Brilliance!! Such a great scene - I love the story and the mix of MOCs and old sets. I have a lot of the pieces to some of the sets in this, as well as their instructions and idea books, but they are from well before my time so I've never had them built (I was given a big 'ol bucket of early 80s Technic when I was little, so whilst I recognize all these sets I never got to experience them first time round). Anyway, excellent subject matter, great MOC(ish), 10/10 : )

If you're looking to start or grow a business here in the Bay Area, you might have trouble getting loans from a traditional bank, especially in the wake of the financial disaster that has tightened restrictions on loan eligibility.
You may, however, find the financial help you need from organizations that are building on programs normally associated with the developing world -- microlenders.
The San Jose-based Opportunity Fund here in the Bay Area tells Bloomberg BusinessWeek that it's set to offer 30 percent more loans this year than in 2009.
Other options for credit include San Francisco-based Kiva, which started as a way for individuals to offer loans to people in the developing world but which began giving loans locally last year.
Credit unions have also gained in popularity, as have peer-to-peer lending sites that match up individuals with money to invest and those looking for some extra capital for small businesses.
And then there are fundraising sites like New York-based Kickstarter, which has helped everyone from authors to restauranteurs raise money to get projects off the ground.
Not looking for more credit? Opportunity Fund also offers help with saving for goals including buying a home or starting a business.
All of which is good news for those burned by the likes of Bank of America and Wells Fargo.

Oil merger rumours
Partners since 63 years: Chevron and Texaco jointly own Caltex
The oil industry is abuzz with rumours that the next mega merger is in the offing.
US oil giant Chevron is said to be in talks with Texaco on what would be effectively a $37bn take-over.
The two companies are close partners since more than 60 years, jointly owning Caltex Corp., which operates 13 petroleum refineries and 8,500 service stations in the Asia Pacific region, Africa and the Middle East.
When the rumours first surfaced late on Friday, they prompted a sharp rise in the price of Texaco shares, up $4.81 to $67. Chevron's stock, however, fell $3.06 to $94.75.
While Chevron refused to comment on the reports, Texaco spokesman Andy Norman said the talk on the markets was "just speculation and rumour".
However, such a deal would only be the latest in a long list of oil industry mergers during recent months.
Pooling the black gold
Price pressure
The wave of oil industry mergers was triggered by last year's slump in oil prices, which sank to a 25 year-low, dropping below $10 per barrel.
This squeezed the margins and profits of oil companies. To drive down costs, improve market share and gain benefits from economies of scale, firms were forced to either merge or buy up one another.
The price pressure has receded somewhat during recent weeks. A barrel of Brent crude oil now costs just over $16, as a result of production cuts agreed by oil-producing countries.
Nonetheless, companies that have not merged are afraid that they could lose out against their bigger but streamlined rivals.
The figures
Texaco's 24,628 employees last year generated revenues of $31.7bn and a net income of $578m.
The company is exploring new oil fields in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, Latin America and West Africa. Its core production areas include the United States, the North Sea of the UK, the Middle East, and the Pacific Rim.
Chevron is the larger of the two, with 34,000 employees, revenues of $40bn and a record net income last year of $3.25bn.
The company pumps oil in the United States, Angola, Nigeria, Canada, the North Sea, Australia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Venezuela, China and Papua New Guinea. Major exploration areas include the above, as well as Alaska and Azerbaijan.

I've been making some observations lately in WoW regarding healing and the Dungeon Finder. I've been thinking about writing about it for a few days, but Spinks and Syp have both beat me to it.
Spinks article is about "You can't heal stupid," which is absolutely correct. Syp writes about the unwritten rules that healers have in "The Secret Life of Healers."
Both of them allude to or outright point out that most healers in the game (I play a Resto Shaman as one of my dual mains) have a set of rules for healing people, particularly people in Random Heroic Groups. We probably all had rules that we had in our minds from doing PUGs, but not many people did as many dungeons doing PUGs as we do now with the Dungeon Finder. This has amplified our issues as healers and brought them to the forefront of our thinking. Before this I never really thought that much about them but over the course of the last few weeks I have had time to consider this quite a lot.
For the benefit of all the ADHD tanks, fire-and-forget ranged DPS, and don't-quite-know-they-aren't-the-tank melee DPS folks out there, here are some things to consider should you be lucky enough to be in a Heroic I am healing. I am willing to bet that there are even some other healers who will agree with these, so think of them as rules to live by.

Bought these to replace my old pair which I lost only for them to turn up after my new ones arrived. An excellent product and the cheapest on the net. Well packaged and prompt delivery.

Runners - running shorts
I have a variety you can try out as long as you promise not to wash them before sending them back.
Get on Sportsdirect.com. I got these karrimor ones http://www.sportsdirect.com/karrimor-x-lite-5inch-running-shorts-mens-453406?colcode=45340690 as I was in a similar position of not knowing what to buy and didn't want to break the bank. I also got some longer ones and they are both a roomy fit and big legs shouldn't be an issue. A lot better quality than I was expecting for the price they probably did start out at 32 quid somewhere. 8 quid more up my street though!
We are all different shapes and sizes, so one persons comfy is another's chafey.
However, chances are Gore kit will fit perfectly, for a price.
I'm a big fan of Nike shorts. Especially the ones with Lycra liners....bit hot in summer, but great in winter.
I'm not keen on liners, I like to swing free and fresh
Ooh yes please dd.
What about length though? Those split shorts do look nice and airy for ones hairy eggs.
I have a pair of Nike that fit well, but I find a bit long sometimes. SportsDirect provided a cheap pair of New Balance ones that I recommend, but the Craft pair I have are awesome. Light, but very short. Best worn with running tights in winter for a little wind protection.
On a serious note, I've had Nike, Adidas and Under Armour shorts for the last few years. Nike are by far the most comfortable. I sometimes wear a pair of Lycra shorts underneath in winter. The Under Armour ones are probably the least comfortable.
3/4 bibs and a thermal T..

Got some without the pockets and the Cargo shorts with the useful pockets for gels, mp3 players etc. Really comfy, don't ride up or impede in any way. Use them for Kettlecise too and they give excellent freedom of movement without the mouse popping out which may be a good thing in a room full of women

I do as well, but the momentum was making it difficult to go in a straight line.
