Add style and function to your vehiclewith the APR Performance Carbon Fiber Front Bumper Splitter. To combat the effects of front end lift, APR Front Wind Splitters are utilized to give extra traction and control in the front of a car. By creating a high pressure area on top of the wind splitter, high pressure air flow is restricted to flow underneath a car. With low pressure below the car, the effect of lift is reduced and a driver can gain from the extra traction and control.

Review by Reacherfan
I really used to like Lutz as a writer. His past few books have been really bad. I don't mind the violence or swearing or anything like that in the book. What I don't like is that lack of a solid plot. This book has about 4 plots going at the same time, and just one of them was mildly interesting and the other was pretty good. The one plot to me that seemed decent was the one about the dead cop. The other plot I liked was a nasty serial killer. If Lutz just wrote about the "cop plot", or the killer plot, any one of thoset would have been a pretty darn good read. BUt only one. But no, Lutz didn't do that. So much of the book could have been taken out. One of the plots (I used that word with a grain of salt) Pearl had a mole and she wasn't sure if it was cancerous or not. Honestly, that was it. So much of the book was devoted to that. I mean, a lot of the book was. It was just such a drag to read about, and it slowed the story down. I also didn't like how there was a stalker and how Lutz devoted so much time to the stalker stalking people. At one point we read for 10 pages the stalker stalking someone. 10 pages! Couldn't Lutz just say, "He (the stalker) stalked her for the entire day to learn her patters and habits." There, done. It just took one sentence to say what Lutz said in 10 pages. Part of the book is told in a flashback so the reader can see what the killer/stalker was like as a child. Huh?! Do we really need to know this? I look at it this way, I don't need to know how an engine works to drive my car. Who cares why the killer/stalker turned out the way they did? Just tell a great story. This book has so much fluff in it and not enough of a solid plot that keeps the reader glued to the pages. I borrowed Urge to Kill from the library, and I still feel cheated. I say give this book a pass.

I actually put this book on my "to be read" list last fall, when the local library book club discussed it. I definitely didn't have time amidst moving in to our apartment to find and read the book, let alone go to the meeting to discuss it, but I thought it sounded good.
This is the story of a group of college friends. They attend a small, private school in Vermont, and they all study Greek. In fact, they take the vast majority of their classes from one professor, and there are only 6 of them in this group. The narrator, Richard, transfers in to the school, and so he is new to the group. As the inside flap of the book explains, "Mesmerized by his new comrades, Richard is unaware of the crime which they have committed in his dreamy, unwitting presence. But once taken into their confidence, he and the others slowly and inevitably begin to believe in the necessity of murdering the one classmate and friend who might betray both their secret and their future."
For some reason, it took me quite awhile to read this book. It was actually a fairly unique story, unlike anything I can remember reading. I enjoyed all the references to the learning of Greek and the love of this classic culture that the students have. I really don't know why I didn't get more into it. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I had simple been able to sit down more often and read large portions of it at once. The author lets you know in the Prologue the basics of what happened, and then the rest of the book is filling in the blanks. Although it was interesting trying to predict when and how it would happen, I think I might've liked it better if I hadn't known this major detail up front. In the third section of the book (it's divided into 3 sections), the reader doesn't know at all what's going on, and I found it more intriguing than the rest of the book. Overall, I'd give it 3.5 stars out of 5.

Lisa, did you ask anyone at FAIR or any of the other organizations about this? Why does the Sierra Club's position, which your article makes clear was taken for political reasons, mean that other groups cannot continue to highlight the population-immigration connection?
If you are aware of the connection between population growth and immigration, why did you write the article in such a way that suggested they were completely separate concerns? The Pew report you reference attributes the decline in birthrates to economic considerations. Those short-term trends you cite don't do much to change the role of immigration in driving US population growth in the long run.
Even if that was the case, your failure to even mention the connection reflects a real bias on your part. Stanback had legitimate reasons to emphasize immigration as part of his environmental program. Certainly legitimate enough for you to MENTION them, rather than using a few memos by John Tanton as your only representation of the organizations' positions.
FAIR isn't concerned about the environment?
The Pew Research Center has found that immigration drives 85% of US population growth. These organizations were founded by environmentalists who were concerned about population growth, and they dedicate resources to investigating environmental concerns.

Quote from: lilibabe on November 05, 2009, 09:30:35 PMNo sorry, I try to keep my mod updated, not downdated !.07 is the only official release. the rest are beta
No sorry, I try to keep my mod updated, not downdated !
Lilibabe this is a great theme. I am using the wdtv.bin, but I would like to use the osd.bin but it will not work for some reason. I was using wdlxtv and I am just supposed to put the osd.bin onto a hdd and turn it on with it plugged in right? Do I need to install anything prior to this? I would love to use this. Please help, thanks.
hi lilibabe can u update your mod with the new official 1.03.01(http://www.wdc.com/en/products/wdtv/index.asp?wdc_lang=en) with subtiles font patch?.Thanks in advance
Normally, there's nothing more to do to make it working.Try to power off/on the WDTV, try to rename lilibabe.osd.bin to osd.binYea I tried that already. Do I need any apps installed, and should I have it on its own flash drive by itself? I really want to use this theme, its beautiful.
Oops, I posted this question to another thread by mistake, so I'll try again here.Lilibabe - What is the current resolution for video posters in thumbnail view? The resolutions you list in the release post are for 6x2 and 3x1, but the version of your S&A OSD that I am using has 5x2. Thanks!
Excellent, thanks a lot. The auto-resizing works, but it looks awfully pixelated. I know it's just eye-candy, but I like it to look good. Makes browsing a digital library a lot more enjoyable.By the way, thanks for the excellent OSD replacements! I haven't tried Minimalistic yet, but I am excited to see how it looks on the big screen.

Halstead, KS
Sponsored Topics
Halstead is a city in Harvey County, Kansas, United States. Halstead was named in honor of Murat Halstead, a respected Civil War correspondent and newspaper editor. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 2,085.
Founded largely by Russian Mennonite immigrants, the city of Halstead was incorporated in 1877.[citation needed] With the hard red winter wheat (Turkey Red) they brought from Russia, the Mennonites established Halstead as a farming community, and built the Bernard Warkentine Mill at the confluence of the Little Arkansas River and Black Kettle Creek.[citation needed]
Dr. Arthur Hertzler, the "Horse-and-Buggy Doctor," devoted much of his life and energies to the medical environment of Halstead, founding a clinic and hospital for the area residents. An urban legend claims that Dr. Hertzler performed the first appendectomy in town upon himself.[citation needed] The Congregation of the Sisters of St Joseph of Wichita, Kansas, operated the hospital for many years following Dr. Hertzler's death.[citation needed]

What to do if your home floods
Updated 3:49 pm, Tuesday, June 16, 2015
With Houston on the dirty side of Tropical Storm Bill hovering, meteorologists predict Houston could receive several inches of rain. If that water finds its way into your home, here are the steps to take to stay safe:
Stay inside: "It's important to understand that most flood-related deaths occur outside the home. The best thing to do if you encounter water in your home is to stay put," said Francisco Sanchez, spokesman for Harris County's Office of Emergency Management.
With water flooding streets and yards, it can be hard to see potholes, storm drains, or spots where manhole covers have popped off in the storm.
"If you wander outside and there's a little bit of a current, and you lose your footing, you have a problem," said Jeff Evans, meteorologist in charge of the National Weather Service's Houston-Galveston office.
Find high ground: "If you have a two-story house, go upstairs," said Sanchez.
If you're in a first-floor apartment or a ranch-style home, find a spot on a countertop or a tall piece of furniture to hunker down.
Crate your pets: "For animals, the best thing to do is have them with you," said Sanchez. "Keep them in a crate and put them in a high location, on top of furniture, or keep them next to you."
Call outdoor animals inside before the storms hit, and if your home has flooded severely in the past, Evans said it's a good idea to plan ahead and make alternate arrangements for dogs and cats to ride out the rain. Maybe at a vet's office, or a family member's home.
Keep your eye on the storm: Storms shift and change all the time, and while meteorologists were still uncertain Monday as to when and where the storm will hit, the answers will become more clear as the system draws closer.
"Keep in touch and be aware that if we get the worst part of the storm, we're easily going to have 6 to 8 inches or more around Harris County," Sanchez said.
For areas that suffered flooding during the Memorial Day weather event, the ground is still saturated, which means water is more likely to stay above ground, making flooding more likely.
"We're not forecasting that it will be as bad as Memorial Day, but the setup is there with this much moisture in the air," Evans said.
Be proactive: If you think your home may take on water, make plans to stay somewhere else before the storm even hits. And safeguard your heirlooms while you're at it.
"Take your personal items, get them in plastic, get them covered," Evans said. "Get your valuables up high and monitor the situation."
Call 911 if you feel at risk: "If you believe that you are in danger, and your home is taking on water, please call 911," Sanchez said. "That will alert your local fire department and they'll have a much better handle on what is going on in your neighborhood."

I think the most positive people want change. I am one of those and will not be content until Schotty is gone and we change the players on the roster who obviously should not be starting in the league.
I doubt we will be in Houston next week and the sad part is we could have won that game.

TR-069 CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). Adam Rozumek InterOperability Lab University of New Hampshire 2007. What is TR-069?. From the TR-069 Amendment 1 document:

CPE WAN Management Protocol
Adam Rozumek
InterOperability Lab
University of New Hampshire
From the TR-069 Amendment 1 document:
A protocol for communication between Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) that encompasses secure auto-configuration as well as other CPE management functions within a common framework.
TR-069 CPE/ACS Interaction Model:
Figure 3 of DSL Forum's TR-069 Amendment 1
Service Providers can, through TR-069, use one common platform to manage, through the Internet, all of their Customer Premise Devices, no matter the device nor the manufacturer.
This common application has never been achieved before due to CPE vendors creating proprietary mechanisms for management, and not wanting to expose those mechanisms to their competitors.
Image source: DSL Forum's PD-128
-No matter how well the specification is written, there is room for interpretation and error during implementation.
Example: There is a typo in the specification where a common word, used to define a field, is misspelled. Does the vendor take the specification at its literal meaning, or does the vendor correct the spelling error?
-SOAP implementation: TR-069 requires that all communications between the CPE (client) and ACS (server) be done via a persistent, bi-directional connection. However SOAP was designed for transitory, one-way communications where the roles of client and server are clearly defined. By requiring a persistent connection, TR-069 is switching these roles during communications, something SOAP wasn't designed to do and introducing complexity to a "simple" protocol.
-In the current specification it is necessary for the SOAP to be generated manually, a process highly prone to errors and interpretation.
From fine point technologies website: http://www.finepoint.com/services/certification.htm
CPE/ACS Application
The application uses the CPE WAN Management Protocol on the CPE and ACS, respectively. The application is locally defined and not specified as part of the CPE WAN Management Protocol.
RPC Methods
The specific RPC methods that are defined by the CPE WAN Management Protocol.
A standard XML-based syntax used here to encode remote procedure calls. Specifically SOAP 1.1
The standard Internet transport layer security protocols. Specifically, either SSL 3.0 (Secure Socket Layer), or TLS 1.0 (Transport Layer Security)
Standard TCP/IP.
Difficulties with TR-069 (cont.)
Has to cross several layers of protocols and methods that must interoperate:
Table 1 of TR-069 Amendment 1
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used by network management systems to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. It consists of a set of standards for network management, including an application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
SNMP is a technology that is tried and true, but each company has it's own MIB (management information base), and SNMP has been known to have security flaws. TR-069 was created to be device agnostic, meaning that all CPE devices can be managed by one TR-069 Auto Configuration Server (ACS) no matter the manufacturer etc.
Although it may seem invasive and insecure to have devices able to be accessed without active consent, there are many security protocols included in the TR-069 documents.
From the TR-069 Amendment 1 document:
1.1Security Goals:
The CPE WAN Management Protocol is designed to provide a high degree of security. The security model is also designed to be scalable. It is intended to allow basic security to accommodate less robust CPE implementations, while allowing greater security for those that can support more advanced security mechanisms. In general terms, the security goals of the CPE WAN Management Protocol are as follows:
Prevent tampering with the management functions of a CPE or ACS, or the transactions
that take place between the CPE and ACS.
Provide confidentiality for the transactions that take place between a CPE and ACS.
Allow appropriate authentication for each type of transaction.
Prevent theft of service.
What can TR-069 be used for so far?
Any and all CPE, such as VoIP Analog Telephone Adapters, DSL Modems, and Residential Gateways.
These capabilities are provisioned by TR-069 and its extensions (TR-098, TR-104, TR-106, TR-110, TR-111)
TR-069 Extensions:
TR-098 - data model for internet gateway devices (DSL modems with built in routers)
TR-104 - data model and any specific items for VoIP devices
TR-106 - a base object structure for TR-069 enabled devices
TR-110 - a reference model for VoIP configurations
TR-111 - covers applying TR-069 to remote management of home networking devices
Since TR-069's ratification, changing market dynamics continue to impact the way service providers conduct business. A single high-speed data service is no longer a viable, long-term path to retain market share or grow revenue. Prices of core data services—and the associated margins—are declining steeply, and market saturation of basic broadband is on the horizon. To remain competitive, carriers are expanding into new video and content services, going after video franchises, bundling entertainment packages, and competing head-to-head with traditional cable operators to attract and retain new customers.
From "TR-069 and beyond," by Heather Kirksey(http://telephonyonline.com/access/commentary/dsl_tr069_standards_071406/index.html)
- TR-069 has to keep expanding to incorporate the many new technologies being developed for in-home use

Our View: New park could clean up a beautiful area
Steve Faust, executive director of Friends of the Falls, was talking with Spokane tribal members at the site of the proposed whitewater park under the Sandifur pedestrian bridge. The area was sacred space to the Indians more than a century ago, when tribes from all over the Northwest gathered to meet, trade and feast on the river's salmon.
It was 10 in the morning. A drunk man approached. High Bridge Park is one of the city's most beautiful parks, but some of the people who hang out there have fallen on not-so-beautiful times. The meeting continued. The drunk man harassed. Finally, he went away.
Faust tells the story when he hears concerns that a whitewater park might change surrounding neighborhoods, such as Peaceful Valley, in negative ways. More traffic. More hanger-outers. More riffraff.
Faust says: "Most of the people who are into kayaking are in their mid-30s. Most are professionals. I haven't met many kayak bums."
The majority of the feedback about the park has been positive. Friends of the Falls, the city of Spokane and other supporters of the project are hoping for a good turnout at a public open house Thursday. They want to hear the concerns. They've listened to them so far. To create the artificial wave structure, the river's flow patterns will change. The group listened to worries that trout and other fish couldn't pass through the U-shaped structures that will be buried into the river channel, creating the park's whitewater waves. In response to concerns, the plan was altered.
The whitewater park will definitely attract more traffic and more people to the High Bridge Park area. But its advantages will outweigh the negatives. It has the potential to attract more tourists to Spokane. It has the potential to spur a cleanup of the entire area. Unsightly concrete pillars, the remains of a Union Pacific train trestle, will be removed. And the hope is that the healthier atmosphere at the whitewater park will spill into High Bridge Park. This would help reclaim the park, a reclamation project that is long overdue.
Peaceful Valley, Browne's Addition and High Bridge Park area residents should attend this meeting in force. A new neighbor is coming your way. It's a good one.

Kelley Rice, Panhandle District 4-H Coordinator
Panhandle Research and Extension Center, Scottsbluff
The word contest (or competition) stirs an enormous amount of emotion. Some relish the excitement, while others want to avoid it at all costs. However you feel about competition, it is a fact of life.
Youth compete in speech, DECA, music, sports, and of course, 4-H. But competition does not end with graduation. Youth also compete for scholarships and college acceptance, while adults are in competition for jobs, promotions, marketing and sales.
So if everyone is expected to compete, how can 4-H contests prepare youth for this lifelong skill? First, 4-H is centered on Positive Youth Development (PYD). The contests offered through 4-H celebrate the learning process, not just the ribbon or trophy. These contests encourage youth to stretch themselves beyond their comfort zone within a safe environment.
The contest most associated with 4-H is the county and State Fair. However, youth may also compete in the Premier Animal Science Event (PASE) or Life (Family and Consumer Science) challenges as well as Robotics, Speech, Public Service Announcement, and Interview contests. These opportunities may also lead to competing at a Regional, State, and/or National level. While some contests are geared toward older youth, most are open to all 4-H youth with the judging criteria based on the developmental age of the child.
Stories echo across the state of individuals who have joined 4-H eager to learn but terrified to compete. Through the encouragement of a trusted adult, these youth initially may participate in a one-on-one conversation with a judge answering various questions about a project. Once they have tasted success, they may decide to record a 1-minute public service announcement (PSA), and then are soon on their way to being able to deliver an eloquent 5-minute speech. They may or may not go on to "win" a contest, but they have learned the skills needed to organize their thoughts in order to speak confidently and effectively throughout their lifetime.
Contests also have the ability to bring about the absolute best in an individual. Knowing that others are working toward the same goal creates an environment that encourages creative thinking and focus. Individuals are pushed to think outside the box and not be satisfied with the status quo. It encourages youth to think strategically, finding ways to accentuate their strengths and discover how to overcome their weaknesses.
While discussing benefits of competition, it would be remiss to underestimate the difficulties that will be encountered along the way. With any new endeavor, there will be obstacles to overcome. Youth will feel inadequate, will not know how to organize themselves, and will want to quit. However, as PYD experts, 4-H professional and volunteers have the responsibility to encourage youth to see their infinite potential and celebrate every victory.

About us:
You will be living with two 30 something females, who work full time, go to yoga regularly and get out and about in our spare time. The house is a big and funky one that has plenty of room to chill in when you are home and wanting to relax. I have been living in the house now for around 4 years and can say it works really well as far as share houses go.
Who are we looking for?
- Someone who is clean, trustworthy, open minded and into healthy living with a positive outlook to life
- Ideally you will be looking for a collective home rather than just a room
- Is able to clean up after themselves in all communal areas
- Has no issue with paying rent and bills on time
- Someone that doesn't smoke in or around the house
About the room:
The room available comes fully furnished with a recently purchased queen bedhead and mattress protector, bedside tables and other storage furniture. It has a good sized built in cupboards and draws for all your clothes and belongings. The room does have a sloping roof with 2 skylights and curtains which sounds a bit odd, but hasn't bothered anyone so far. There is also a fully furnished study for your sole use also, perfect for anyone studying, running a business etc.
There are 2 big fridges in the house you'll have plenty of room in the fridge and freezer and perfect for foodies that like to cook up a storm. Electricity and gas is around $100-$150 per quarter each as the house has solar panels on the roof so its super cheap compared to most houses in Sydney.
Included in the rent is:
Comfy queen mattress, bedhead and other bedroom furniture for storage
Household water
Unlimited cable Internet
Filtered water
About living in the house and the area:
You are a 5-minute walk to King Street and all its goodness including Newtown train station and bus stops. The street is pretty quiet and safe for being so close to where it's all happening, the neighbours are all really friendly and they will say g'day and stop for a chat if you are up for it.
As you walk into our home you'll notice several skylights throughout so there is lots of natural light coming through during the day, but cosy and dark in the evenings. It's thoughtfully decorated with mostly Danish furniture in the communal areas, lots of unusual art, plants and terrariums as well and being fully renovated so it's super clean, comfortable and funky. The kitchen has a Smeg induction cooktop, dishwasher, microwave and oven with a huge pantry and heaps of storage.
Everyone that walks into the house seems to fall in love with it straight away so don't say that I didn't warn you! Our household is mostly a vegetarian one so we are looking for other like-minded people in that regard. We do like our music in some communal areas as well as our rooms but it's all at respectful levels and times. There isn't a TV in the lounge room, just a great sound system, 2 x turntables and a comfy couch to hangout on so it would be great if you were as keen on music as we are. There is a cute backyard that leads out from the lounge room with lot's a fresh herbs and eatable plants, a table and chairs to eat your breakfast on or have a few beers/wines during the day, or the evening for that matter ☺ The property is managed privately so no annoying real estates involved. Air-con and heating throughout the house to keep us cool in summer and warm in winter.
Stay duration:
Open to considering the stay duration so let me what your needs are. Short-term and long-term arrangements are welcomed and made by arrangement with a minimum of a 3-month stay. Please note that this room isn't suitable for a couple/2 people so unfortunately those applications will not be considered. Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you.

The first time I saw Happy Gilmore I was sitting in my friend Jason-the-Hesher's bedroom smoking a three-foot bong. It was a glorious experience. We laughed so hard I farted, but that was only another uproarious joke in an evening filled with uncontrollable, psychotic laughter. A week later I rented and watched the movie with my parents and spent the whole time feeling really stupid and trying to explain why it was funny. (Note: A similar incident occurred with the film Nick of Time). Regardless, Happy Gilmore is the absurd story of an underdog beating a chumpy jock competitor, and the same goes for Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story.
In fact, these two movies share almost the exact same premise, and some of the same jokes. In Happy, Adam Sandler is trying to save his grandma's house from the evil clutches of pro-golfer Shooter McGavin by beating him in a tournament. He's coached to success by former golf pro Chubbs Peterson, and eventually, learns to love the game, whether Chubbs continues with his help or not. In Dodgeball, Vince Vaughn is trying to save his hometown gym, Average Joe's, from the evil clutches of exercise guru and corporate gym owner, White Goodman (Ben Stiller), by beating him in a dodgeball tournament. He is coached to success by a former dodgeball pro, Patches O'Houlihan, and eventually, learns to love the game, whether Patches lives or is suddenly crushed by a Lucky Charms billboard.
Really, the only difference between the two movies is a slight difference in characterization and style; Vince Vaughn is playing on a team instead of in a solo sport, and Happy Gilmore is overall, a little bit funnier. See this movie if you like stupid--but hilarious--stoner humor, like people getting hit in the nuts and saying the word "testicles" during pro-sporting events. And if you do see it, please take a friend with a similarly immature sense of humor, and also, if you've got any weed, by all means, SMOKE IT.
