Just wondering if anyone is still checking in here. Just took the car out for the first time in a few years. The inspection sticker is from 2011!!
No announcement yet.
Anyone around anymore?
new posts
I am still around. I check the forums at least once a day.
First time in a few years? I am not even that bad, and I am getting pretty bad about not driving either car.- 12 Focus SE

I'm still around, not that many people know me. I just got mine repainted, a new CPU, going to be getting it dyno-tuned (again) soon. I was without mine for 6 months while it was having work done, then repainted, etc. When I got it back I was starting to wonder why I still had it and putting money into it. Then I drove it for 10 minutes and was reminded. I've been driving it every day since, and I absolutely love it.99 Black SVT -3L Hybrid, Spec flywheel, MSDS, CAI, 17" Konig Tantrums, Optimized TB & Y, Baer BBK, Bassani cat-back w/ magnaflow res, Koni's w/ H&R

Hey Mike nice to here from you. I check in here and post on occasion. The contour has been out of storage about a month or so. Just did ebc rotors and green stuff pads and bat struts, the stock ones finally wore out. I have been driving it more and more minus bad weather but i don't want to look at it i want to drive it :). How things with you ? Not too many original owners left . I have fond memories of CEG in It's prime.2000 se sport SEVT V6

Glad you got it out again, I had been wondering :)
I poke in once in a while, but it's rare these days. A few times a month, if that. I've been busy with a bunch of activities outside of driving. The SVT has been parked since October. I did take it out for a 5-minute drive a couple of weeks ago.
I've been mulling over the idea of selling it for a while now. You may remember in 2009 I had tripped over 100k on the way home from SZ ... well, it only has 111k since then! For last year's inspection sticker I had driven it just 800 miles. Andy at Holt's chuckled when he saw the odometer.Last edited by rouar; 05-25-2017, 09:53 AM.Matthew

We've had two pretty irregular weeks around here. The first week I was in Paris, running errands, remembering old times and getting some shopping in (without Hugo in tow), and last week it was just my baby and I having a ball, playing in the park and taking long walks. It has freshened the air a bit as since we have been living in Grenoble and Manu has been working from home, we can often get in each others way. Weeks like this are great for really getting a grasp on what is important and what is not, though they do mess a bit with our schedule, and as a result I am still trying to catch up. C'est la vie!
As for my outfit, I have had this dress for a few months, but as the material is so light I have not worn it until now. With the end of March looming I figured I should get some use out of if before the warmer weather is upon us and I won't want to wear long sleeves. That goes for the boots as well, though these ones are just so comfortable I am sure I will find myself wearing them even once the heat arrives.

ICC World Cup: Dhoni, Raina and Jadeja unwind with Mexican wraps
Melbourne: It was time to indulge in some gastronomical delight for skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and some of his teammates as Indian players enjoyed their day out.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Friends for company
Dhoni, along with his CSK teammates Ravindra Jadeja and Suresh Raina went to a nearby eatery and enjoyed some 'Mexican Wrap'.
The moment the news spread about the Indian stars being at the Mexican joint, Indian fans gathered near the restaurant. The trio after enjoying their Mexican Wrap went to a well-known juice shop named "Boost".
While Dhoni was on the binge, his deputy Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma went to the picturesque St Kilda beach to soak in some "Sun' N Sand".

Tuesday's show at the 9:30 Club was billed as a Wye Oak concert, but before the set began, many in the near-capacity crowd were probably wondering if they had paid $22 to see "New Wye Oak." After all, the group's direction-shifting fourth album, "Shriek," almost completely abandons the electric guitar, which has been the cornerstone of the Baltimore duo's sound since Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack first released music in 2007.
Wasner began the show playing a stringed instrument, but it was the bass. Stack was behind a drum kit, playing in his trademark one-arm style (his other expertly working a keyboard).
The pair started with "Before" and "The Tower," two songs from the new album, but by the time they hit the break of the latter — Wasner punching an effects pedal that gave her bass a drill-press urgency — things were feeling pretty familiar, despite the absence of the six-string.
Surprise at the left-turn sound of "Shriek" has been relatively universal, and those who were thrilled by the guitar-driven ups and downs of 2011's "Civilian" were probably taken aback at the stark, electronics-and-'80s-tinged new tracks. Repeated listenings to the album (which Wasner has said was partly inspired by a creative block she developed around the guitar) reveal that the heart of the duo's creative power is very much alive; it's just expressed in different terms. Tuesday's show made that clear, along with the fact that Wasner's vocal expression is at an all-time high.
The 80-minute concert was certainly devoted to "Shriek" (they played nearly every song on it), but a rousing cheer went up when Wasner strapped on her guitar for "Holy Holy" early in the show.
The audience, attentive and reverent throughout, swayed politely through most of the new songs — and really got into the Tears for Fears-esque "Logic of Color." But the real connection came during the older numbers. Unfurling her voice while metronome-like Stack calmly held songs like "Plains," "Take It In" and "Hot as Day" in place, Wasner embodied the joy she said she was feeling to be playing at the 9:30, where she had attended many shows.
The encore — a slinky, trebly cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and a rip through the title track of "Civilian" — made a fitting capstone to a night that demonstrated Wye Oak's determination to explore new directions without disowning previous work.

Keeping 'em luscious!!
Those who know me know the 'lack' of affection I have for the Shahrukh Khan. I think he should come out of the closet as soon as possible and live happily ever after with Karan Johar, but such fairytale like stuff only happens in fairytales or … in Bollywood musicals. In real life, men have to play at being faithful husbands, but I digress.
Shahrukh Khan is mentioned because two of my North America dwelling friends just saw his latest film. Preeti, the temporary New Yorker, thinks the writer/director should be sued and SRK should be asked to sit at home until he promises to take on age appropriate roles with modicum of intelligence and maturity (I know, Preeti is extremely demanding and asks for the earth, moon, stars and some other planets on the side). Erum, the permanent Toronto dweller, got quite confused in his moustachioed and non moustachioed personas and lack of logic in pursuing the fake character. She was also miffed that the film assumed that women in general, and the one you are married to in particular, are so stupid that they would fall for anything and won't use their brains – not even when the hubby started posing and dressing as a teenaged colour blind wanna be dancer who is quite obviously confused about his 'sexual identity'. OK, I admit. Erum did not use that particular term but the homoerotic references SRK has recently made about Amir Khan's abs made me add that one. I have not seen the film – nor do I intend to – but I just had to add that bit.
The reason I went on this spiel about SRK is that I just had to spread a special news about him. Don't get me wrong, I have not taken on as his PR person, but I have just learned from reliable sources (through someone who has shot SRK on ad campaigns) that he wears butt pads to keep them … err luscious.
Bollywood is a lot more gender neutral than I thought.
PS: PS: There was never any intention to insult LGBTQ people in this post,but if I come across that way, I apologize. I have nothing against a person's sexuality; rather my frustration was with someone who can create an impact by coming out, not only in India but across the globe with desi community.

Last year's Dark Detective was a surprise hit for DC Comics. Re-teaming the classic duo of Steve Englehart and Marshall Rogers created renewed interest in the Silver Age Batman -- you know, the Dark Knight who wasn't a total dick. We spoke briefly with Englehart about the Gotham hero. Not only did Englehart provide some insight into why people love Batman, but also gave some hints at what to expect from the next Dark Detective miniseries.
IGN Comics: What is it about Batman that people seem to connect with more than any other character?
Steve Englehart: There's two answers to that. One, in terms of Batman, per se, it's a great concept. The dark creature of the night hero, going back to the Spider and the Shadow and the Scarlet Pimpernel has always been more interesting to people than the sunlit Superman kind of guy... [Batman's] got the great costume, he's got the mansion, he's got the cave underneath, he's got a good group of villains -- He's got everything that works for that character.
And the second level to that is who's writing it. I take some pride in having done a Batman that people like a whole lot. That becomes a nuance question. Batman is cool in and of himself, but then I know my version of Batman is well regarded. I think my specific guy works, because on the one hand I made the Batman pulpier and on the other hand I made Bruce Wayne a real person.
I think he's a cool guy and you really want to play up the coolness factor, and at the same time, I think it really is important that Bruce Wayne is in there. That there's a human being doing this. That it's not just some sociopath that DC's been doing for the last five years or whatever.
Englehart: Well, we definitely are. We are doing Dark Detective 3. Dark Detective 1 was the '70s run, Dark Detective 2 was the last one [in 2005] and we are doing [another]. It's not on the schedule yet. [DC's] letting us do it at our own pace and we are proceeding apace, but I don't have an idea really what the scheduling is on that thing.
It's another six-issue run. It picks up where Dark Detective 2 left off. Silver St. Cloud is still in the story, but she and Batman are definitely not together. [There's] a whole new crew of villains. [We're] trying some different aspects of Batman, by having some different villains.
IGN Comics: Will there be a Joker appearance?
Englehart: No -- well... Yes. An appearance? Yes. It does pick up right where the last one left off. Everything is supposed to be done in six-issue arcs these days. In this case the arcs are sequential. So the first issue of Dark Detective 3 does show us what happened to the Joker, it does show us what happened to Two-Face after what happened last time. It also shows us what happened to Evan Gregory and Silver St. Cloud.
Basically, Batman goes to London. The whole thing takes place in London. Everything that happens in Gotham City is pretty much on the side. Although, Gotham City is still connected to Batman, so it's not like it's happening in a vacuum. He ends up going to London and getting involved with different villains.
Part of that, frankly, as he comes to recognize, because he'd just as soon not be in the same city with Silver St. Cloud at this point. She was right about him being too rational. And he's rational enough to know that she was right, but he is what he is, but that doesn't make it any easier for him to go, "Fine, I'm so dedicated that I don't care about this woman," because he does. So it's just sort of easier for him when he gets a challenge out of London to say, "Yeah, I think I'll go there and do that and not have to worry about this anymore."
So that's what he does for six issues.
IGN Comics: Is this something where, if DC allowed it, you'd do another six-issue Dark Detective arc every couple of years?
Englehart: Definitely. And you put your finger exactly on it -- If DC allows it. Dark Detective 2 sold two-and-a-half times what DC expected. On the other hand, it exists outside the regular Batman world... Marshall and I really like doing this. We got an incredible response last year when Dark Detective came out. We like doing it, we know people like seeing it and if we're given the opportunity, we'd like to keep doing it. At this point, DC said do one more, so we're doing one more.
A trade paperback collecting last year's Batman: Dark Detective mini is now available. You can next read Steve Englehart's work in JLA Classified #22, arriving in June.

Number hit by data breach still unknown
THE hospital at the centre of a data breach has admitted it doesn't know how many patients have been affected by the scandal.
Tallaght Hospital has started sending letters to patients whose details have fallen into "inappropriate hands" after it outsourced the transcription of doctors' letters to a company with offices in the Philippines.
"Until this process is complete, we will not know the numbers involved," admitted a spokeswoman for the hospital yesterday.
The hospital had a contract with transcription company U-Scribe from 2004 until May of this year when concerns emerged about security procedures. It now outsources this work to another firm, Dictate IT.
No HSE-run hospitals currently use U-Scribe, however a number of voluntary hospitals do.
These include Tallaght, Mercy University Hospital in Cork and Peamount Hospital in Dublin, which provides services for the disabled, elderly and those with respiratory problems.
Mercy and Peamount have both said they are satisfied with the security of their patients' information.
Local Labour TD for Tallaght, Robert Dowds, said that following a meeting with acting chief executive John O'Connell earlier this week, his concerns over patient data have not been allayed.
He believes the number of patients affected by the scandal are small, but he was unable to confirm this with the hospital.
He appealed to consultants who have private contracts with transcription firms to ensure the work is carried out within Ireland so that it will come under the ambit of Irish data protection legislation.
"The CEO agreed with me that it would be preferable if the letters were typed in-house rather than being sent to the Philippines where our data protection legislation is obviously not effective," Mr Dowds said.
"The Philippines are taking it seriously, as they do a lot of work in this area for other countries, not just Ireland, and their reputation would be damaged if it was widely known that information was getting into the wrong hands," he added.

Skin care tips for sensitive skin
An estimated 50% of women and 30% of men suffer from sensitive skin, and it's on the increase. The use of synthetic ingredients and fragrances used in many popular skincare and makeup brands has often been the cause of many of these sensitive skin issues.
While switching to gentle, natural skincare products to care for your sensitive skin is very important, so too is adopting some lifestyle habits that are guaranteed to benefit your skin.
- Skin reflects inner health so it's important to look after it from the inside too. Drink lots of water to help flush away toxins and rehydrate. Drinking water with lemon has amazing health and beauty benefits, detoxifying and beautifying the skin from within.
- Avoid excess caffeine and alcohol, which dehydrate the skin.
- Eat lots of nutrient rich vegetables, especially green, chlorophyll-rich, leafy vegetables and Omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids – great for acne sufferers. Foods rich with Vitamin C and E are beneficial for the skin as they serve as excellent antioxidants.
- Manage your stress. Stress can make your skin more sensitive as your immune system is compromised.
- Smoking damages collagen and elastin fibres, contributing to wrinkles and decreased circulation, making the skin look dull and lifeless.
- Minimise sun damage risk by wearing a large hat and protective clothing. Choose a fragrance-free, natural sunscreen to keep your sensitive skin protected, but keep in mind that the higher the SPF, the higher the concentration of sun-filtering chemicals, which may trigger allergic skin reactions.
- Always remove makeup before going to sleep. Gently cleanse your skin every night to allow it to breathe and renew.
- Treat your skin with love and care. Be gentle - cleanse gently, pat it dry (no harsh rubbing and stretching), nourish and protect it daily.
We recommend keeping your skin care regime simple in both process and ingredients. Our Sensitive Range is free of fragrance and allergens and contains only the purest, gentlest certified natural ingredients, including Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Harakeke Flax Extract and Avocado Oil. Simple, yet effective.

The Made in Italy Business Directory
Design is integral to the character of Abet Laminati, the company from Piedmont, founded in the town of Bra in the province of Cuneo at the end of the 1950ŌĆÖs which went on to become one of the biggest global manufacturers of decorative laminates. Under the auspices of Abet, laminates have assumed a real personal identity, with an infinite number of variations and novel interpretations. This has all been due to the close relationships, developed over decades, with high-status design professionals such as Giorgetto Giugiaro, Ettore Sottsass, Alessandro Mendini, Mario Bellini, Enzo Mari, Joe Colombo, Francois Burkhardt and many others.
Fifty years on from its conception, the commercial enterprise founded by Enrico Garbarino turns over 150 million Euros a year and exports 60% of its production to more than 90 markets. Thanks to its production capacity of more than 170 m² per day, Abet Laminati is the European leader in its sector and one of the top world players. Its two factories, both situated in Bra, cover a surface area of more than 175m² and employ more than 800 workers. The total workforce of the group is 1,350, all highly qualified personnel.
The company has an extensive commercial network, spread throughout Italy and abroad. In fact, the business began to internationalize right at the beginning of its existence. It was founded in1957, and already in 1962 it had expanded into France with its first European partnership. That year was also important for the launch of "Colours", the firm's first historic collection of strong, lively coloured laminates. In the period between the 50's and 60's laminate had not yet assumed a real identity and worth, and was generally used in the form of fake wood or marble.
But Abet Laminati made a firm strategic decision to increase the value and sophistication of their product. So, at the end of the 1960's, they introduced their "Alchimia" line onto the market, followed by "Memphis". This signalled a real cultural revolution in Italian and international design, and a means of promoting Italian goods throughout the world. Indeed, the designs were put on display at MOMA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Thousands of designs have now been developed in Abel Laminati's silk-screen laboratory, which was inaugurated in 1967. Amongst the most innovative products which have been developed over the years we should mention "Straticolor", the first coloured free-standing laminate, "Decori Minimi", a highly successful slightly textured product, and the "Milano" series, the first surface with the unmistakeable velvet effect. It is also worth mentioning the "Meg" range of coverings for use in external and urban environments, allowing laminates to develop their presence in the building industry. In the 1990's research was directed to more ecological concerns, with the development of "Tefor", the first laminate made from recycled materials and the "Naturali" series laminates characterized by the addition of small fibres on the surface, or enhanced with wood veneers (as in "Printwood").

It has been difficult for Actress-Juliet Ibrahim to let her fans know that her marriage to Kwadwo Safo has long ended.
Juliet Ibrahim and ex-husband, Kwadwo Safo, have been blessed with a baby boy and even though their marriage did not go as planned due to their busy schedules; the two have agreed to stay in close contact for the benefit of the child, ghanacelebrities.com has been told.
We've spoken to Juliet Ibrahim on several occasions in relationship to this and we've respected her decision to keep the divorce on the low—-so that the two involved would not be distracted from their responsibilities towards the child they have together.
Sandwiched between making her fans aware of the breakup and protecting the interest of her child, Juliet has for some time now kept mute on the issue in order to ensure that her son does not suffer in anyway from the break up.
However, Juliet Ibrahim has found it necessary to let her fans know today that, she is no more married to Kwadwo Safo—and the marriage ended some time ago, she confirmed this to GhanaCelebrities.Com.
With the interest of an innocent child on the table, we ask that you treat this difficult but necessary decision with respect…
Some marriages work, others do not…But when there is a child involved, the interest of the child should be placed beyond that of any other person—and that is what we've done over the years for our little boy.


text: Hello, Every now and then the End Call button will refuse to work (it doesn't even get highlighted when pressed), usually for up to 5 seconds. As you can imagine this can make ending a conversation considerably awkward. Any ideas as to what would be causing this? I first thought it could be the proximity sensor/screen lock, but the screen would have to turn off when this is in effect, which it doesn't. I can see the screen perfectly, I just can't interact with the End Call button. Is there any other way to end calls? Thanks!

Review by irunsjh
This was a fitting end to an excellent series. I loved how Joe Abercrombie was able to roll up most if not all of the lose ends, while maintaining a very interesting world. I can not wait to return to Adua to see what other havoc comes of the place. The characters where very well written, and I loved to see where they would go next. A very good series which i would recommend to anyone interested in reading.
Review by stefferoo
Very rarely do I find a series (especially in a trilogy) where the later books actually outshine the first. Last Argument of Kings was so good, however, it kept me riveted the whole way through. Finally, everything the author had set up in the first two novels pays off in this one, making up for the first book which I saw more as an "intro" where not much really happened.Whereas The Blade Itself was strong in the character development, Last Argument of Kings' forte is the action. Even so, the fast-paced adventure and intrigue does not come at the expense of the characters we've come to know and love (or hate) and it's such a great feeling to be able to enjoy a tale of epic battles and magic and still feel connected to characters that breathe and bleed. And boy, do they bleed! Joe A's books are definitely not for the faint-hearted; there are scenes of torture or war that are so violent and bloody that made even me with my strong stomach cringe.I wasn't sure if I would like the First Law trilogy when I first started these books, but I'm glad now I stuck with it. They just got better and better.
Review by Fledgist
Conclusion of a fantasy trilogy. War, kingship, murder. But this is no Tolkien clone and nothing is smooth or simple. A king gets the throne, and the beautiful queen, but nothing is quite as it seems. In many ways.
Review by sereq_ieh_dashret
The internal dialogue of a couple of characters contains more instances of the word "bastard" than I have read in my whole life. Bloody, cynical and disturbing. Some of the "nicest" (as in well-written) torture scenes ever (and I have read most historical novels about Vlat Tepes). Not recommended to the weak and sensitive.
Review by lpetrazickis
The First Law trilogy (The Blade Itself, Before They are Hanged, Last Argument of Kings) is a very enjoyable one.They are Abercrombie's first published books and to some extent it shows. To me, they read like a reaction to the Lord of the Rings -- what if, instead of being set in a Manichean universe, it were set in an amoral one? What if Gandalf was less Jesus and more Dick Cheney? What if success and failure were unrelated to virtue and vice?His later books are more his own. I started with his fourth, Best Served Cold, which is funnier and more biting and nearly perfect. He does better in later books with the nuance of writing craft, such as having more female viewpoint characters. Though Ardee, Vitari, and Carlot are fascinating in the First Law triology, the story is not told from their perspective and this perhaps makes the story somewhat shallower than it could be.Inquisitor Sand dan Glokta is a divinely sardonic protagonist, and it is a pleasure to inhabit his mind.Some flaws it shares with Lord of the Rings (and, bizzarely, the Song of Ice and Fire). The analogue of the exotic, fallen First Empire is clearly Rome, but historical Rome was by no means the first empire. That honour belongs to Sargon's Akkad and its many non-Roman successors. Omitting analogous other predecessors makes history shallower.I also wish Abercrombie's world were mundane rather than magical -- the first half of Best Served Cold is almost entirely magic-free, which misled me -- but perhaps there is not yet a market for non-magical fantasy.

text: There's little question that Medicare and Medicaid -- the two federal health care programs for the elderly, disabled and the poor -- are in the supercommittee's sights along with Social Security cuts. Nursing homes and hospitals are worried the panel will take an ax to federal reimbursements, which would come on top of other recently enacted cuts to such providers. Dave Dillon, a spokesman for the Missouri Hospital Association, said his members are most worried the supercommittee will shave so-called "provider taxes," which many states use to generate federal matching funds to pay for Medicaid. Right now, Missouri imposes a 6 percent levy on hospitals, the legal maximum, which generates $900 million in revenue annually. Missouri then doles that funding back out to providers -- and snags federal matching funds in the process.

> Career Resources
> Interviews > Career Path
For a fortnight every year, William Lai takes his 1,000cc motorcycle for a joy ride through relatively inhospitable but culturally rich landscapes.
"When you're riding the wind, you focus your attention and leave other things behind to experience true relaxation," says Mr Lai, recollecting his travel experiences in the Silk Road, Tibet and Qinghai.
Playing hard and smart may well be his motto. What sets him apart from the average risk takers are a ready frame of mind and the knack for foreseeing and managing risk.
"To ride out difficult situations, you rely on your own intuition and experience as well as leveraging off those of your team mates'. However, you must also gear up for the unexpected and prepare yourself physically and psychologically at all times," cautions Mr Lai, who is currently head of property management, Hong Kong, Jones Lang LaSalle.
Shifting gear
Mr Lai's career path demonstrates extraordinary self-confidence and foresight. He spent his initial years paying his dues, starting a career in an administrative role for a property developing firm before his aspirations took him further afield.
Nevertheless, that particular job gave him exposure to different functions in the trade. Before long, he spotted a void in the property management (PM) sector and subsequently took up formal academic training in housing management.
"The PM setting across the board was in many ways deficient then. I could see the demand for professional property management services soar so I shifted my career focus," he recalls.
During the second year of his evening studies, he came across a lecturer who happened to be a manager of a property management company. "I attended an interview with him in the neighbouring classroom during recess. That was how I made my entrance to the PM industry as an estate assistant," he says.
After a few years learning the ropes, he was good and ready for his next step up. This time, he aimed high. "I always thought that Jones Lang LaSalle was way ahead of the game," says Mr Lai who then became a management surveyor of Jones Lang LaSalle.
Driving excellence
Some 20 years on, Mr Lai concedes that he never felt the need to take his career anywhere else. "Many Jones Lang LaSalle staff have worked here for more than 15 years and I believe this level of loyalty can only be attributed to a caring culture and the prospects for personal and professional growth alongside monetary rewards," he emphasises.
For the same reason, he finds new challenges, more excitement and job satisfaction every day. "The industry is still evolving and part of my job is to translate fast-paced paradigm shifts into strategic solutions for the benefit of all clients," he says.
System automation is a palpable example. Less obvious to the layman is a keener focus on customer relationship management. "There is more to it than meets the eye but good PM is effectively more noticeable in times of crisis like during the SARS epidemic when occupants of our buildings could obtain facemasks from our management offices and not anywhere else across Hong Kong," Mr Lai points out.
A well-versed professional with more than 3,000 staff under his management, Mr Lai's daily agenda comprises internal and external meetings, as well as matters that cover human resources, IT systems, marketing and even client relations management.
"A competent PM professional takes the initiative to keep pace with society's changes and needs so as to steer the company towards sustainable growth," he emphasises, noting also that academic skills, professional memberships and knowledge in general practice are only the very fundamentals.
Regardless of his position, he spares no effort in adding value to himself and the company. Over the years, he has obtained a number of professional qualifications including a risk management planner certificate, an MBA, and soon a marketing qualification to boot.
An accredited caring company, Jones Lang LaSalle is particularly keen on staff development. A comprehensive training schedule is well in place to accommodate individual aspirations and facilitate staff development across organisational peripheries and geographical boundaries. Mr Lai remarks, "Development of software and hardware will continue to move the industry forward but people will remain the best assets."
Right at the forefront of the industry, Jones Lang LaSalle is on a constant lookout for aspiring PM professionals. "People nowadays expect a great deal more from their PM companies and so the thresholds for entering the industry are also higher," Mr Lai adds, "Our industry encompasses an extensive range of expertise including finance, law and engineering, aside from clubhouse management, shopping centre management, risk management and tenancy management. If you want more out of your career, develop a niche."

text: I posted earlier on this forum how my DAV-S300 reciever/dvd got robbed from me a few months ago. I got left with satelittes and a sub. Right now, my goal is to just by components...seperate DVD, seperate receiver. However, I ran into a problem. After picking out my reciever and dvd player, I already hit my budget. I had planned to use my sony satelittes and the sub. But here's the problem. The sub uses speaker wire, and not an rca cable. SO obiously I can't seamlessly hook it into the preout for sub on the reciever. Is there a product out there that can convert this for me? Is there a tutorial on how to perform this mod? (the salesman said the only way would be to purchase an amp, but that's not an option right now.) Thanks.

New here, introducing myself
Hi I am Jamie, I have an amazing 3 yr old son and have lost 5 babies who I miss everyday. My first i lost at 11 weeks, then had my son, second was at 5 weeks, then my son Henry was stillborn at 20 weeks. I lost my next at 7 weeks, and then I lost my son at 13 weeks, found out he was a born after the d&c but I knew he was a boy from the beginning. I am not ttc right now trying to give my body and heart so time to heal but want a baby in my arms more than anything. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies who can understand what it's like.
Re: New here, introducing myself
I'm so sorry for all your losses! I don't know why having babies is so hard for some of us when it seems to happen so easily for others. I've had 9 mc and I have 2 children I am ridiculously thankful for. I'm new here as of last night too. Big hugs!
Re: New here, introducing myself
Sorry for your losses and welcome to the board.
Re: New here, introducing myself
I'm' sorry for your losses sweetie. Have you had any testing done to see if you have any medical troubles that need treatment or if maybe you have a chromosome issue affecting your babies?
Re: New here, introducing myself
:dothug: I am so sorry for your losses. I hope that a reason can be found for them so that you will be able to have a rainbow baby.
Re: New here, introducing myself
Thanks everybody, I have had testing done and when Henry was born my blood was clotting abnormally, all further testing has been normal. Still trying to figure it out and hoping for a healthy baby in the future

ReviewIt's a fun car to drive. The 3rd row seating is good if your riders are small kids. Do not try to pack granny or teenagers in the 3rd row. Also, there is limited leg room in the 2nd seat. But everything else about this vehicle is great. It is extremely responsive both in acceleration and manueverability. And it is a very comfortable road car. The only real drawback about this vehicle is that (I didn't do my homework) it requires premium gasoline. Oh, it will run "ok" on mid-range - but it's worth pointing out. It's otherwise a solid car and I would buy another one. Oh yes, spend the extra money and get the sunroof. It will be even more fun to drive.
Best FeaturesStyle, color (dark blue), cockpit, ease of maintenance.
Worst FeaturesDitch the 3rd row seat. Also, because the 2nd row seats fold down to allow cargo hauling, the mechanisms are so bulky you lose valuable leg room.

text: Feature preserving motion compression based on hierarchical curve simplificationHiroaki Etou, Yoshihiro Okada, Koichi NiijimaICME2004The authors have been studying on motion database systems. When entering an example motion as the query for the similarity search of motion data, it is natural way to enter it as a semantic primitive motion, i.e., "walk", "jump", "run" and so on. Mostly one motion data consists of several primitive motions. It is necessary to divide a composite motion into… (More)

This is Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon Coast. If you've joined me on one of my photography workshops along the coast, you've probably stood beneath this stunning sandstone bluff and shot similar images. Cape Kiwanda is without a doubt one of Oregon's most photogenic spots. A quick Google or Flickr search will give you thousands of wonderful Cape Kiwanda images to look at. Most of those images will feature views from atop the cape, with spectacular waves breaking against the cliff faces. A climb up the sand dune at the foot of the cape will bring you to a handful of trails that skirt the fences placed atop the cape by Oregon State Parks. To reach the really good photo vantages, you will need to enter the "stay back" parts of the cape and walk out onto the tip of the headland where the sandstone takes the greatest beating from the relentless Pacific swells. Trust me, the view from out there is really amazing. Amazing and pretty damn dangerous. That's why my workshop participants and I are found down at beach level shooting the sunrise and sunset from safer ground.
This past weekend a Portland photographer slipped at Cape Kiwanda and ended up in the water at the foot of the bluff. He was fortunate enough to climb to safety, but he was pretty beat up and his camera gear was ruined. Google+ today is filled with best wishes and efforts to help him replace his damaged gear. A few months ago another Oregon photographer had his gear damaged beyond repair by a wave on the end of the cape. In both cases, the photographers were beyond the warning signs and in clearly risky terrain. The desire to get "the shot" can be incredibly powerful, and photographers often put themselves in danger for compelling images. I've done it many times, and I have wonderful stories and a few nice pictures to prove it, but I find myself less and less interested in such risk as I get older. My Risk Appetite just isn't what it used to be.
My wife, Julie,is an actuary. Much of her work confounds me and despite her best efforts over the years to educate me, the truth is she is just far smarter than I am and what she does for a living is dark arts as far as I can tell. One aspect of her work that I do understand is the risk management tasks she handles. She works for a large Portland-based insurance company with financial dealings in diverse fields. Part of her job is to assess the company's exposure to risk and calculate the potential losses and gains certain products and services may yield. In the world of Enterprise Risk Management, they quantify a company's willingness to accept risk as Risk Appetite. The idea being the more risk a company is willing to take, the greater the reward they stand to profit. In landscape and nature photography, one's Risk Appetite might lead to decisions that carry potential for loss of life and/or equipment. The reward may be a composition that no one else has made and images that light up social media feeds with comments, likes and +1's.
When a photographer heads out onto a cliff, stands on the side of a busy highway, or inches closer to wildlife, they should do so with a full and clear understanding of their risk and how it measures up to their ability to mitigate risk with safety equipment, experience, knowledge, and physical ability. There is no such thing as a safe place to take pictures, only safe enough places. Standing on the beach below Cape Kiwanda is a risky place to make images, but far less so than atop the bluff. As an outdoor photographer, I have worked hard to develop a healthy Risk Appetite that combines courage with restraint. For the most part my Risk Appetite has given me great photographs, but I have to live with the knowledge that better shots lie out there in the dangerous areas where I no longer wish to tread.
And this truth frustrates me to no end. I see shots younger, fitter, and more risky photographers are getting and it hurts. I know there are some amazing shots to be made up on top of Cape Kiwanda, but there's no way in hell I'm taking my groups up there. The risk is too great. When I take people to Thor's Well, I put The Fear into them before we walk down there. Part of my job as a guide and educator is teaching people how to evaluate a scene for hazards and rewards. I try to teach them to find the "safe enough" spot that will give them shots worth taking. I know I hold some people back, but I also know that I pull some people in. I don't mind getting my legs wet for a great photo, but for some that's just too far. My Risk Appetite is mine and mine alone.
I feel for these photographers who have lost their expensive cameras and lenses at Cape Kiwanda, but I also want to express my grumpy disdain for their choices. When you plant your tripod on bare rock on the Oregon Coast, you need to ask why it's bare. The coast receives up to ten feet of rain each year, so if there's any chance for green things to grow they will. When rock is bare near the ocean it's usually because waves keep it that way. If intertidal life is living on the rock, that is a solid clue that the ground you are on will indeed get wet. If you are standing on grass and fluffy dunes, you are probably going to stay un-doused. Make choices with knowledge, not hubris. Anyone taking photographs in nature should take some time to get to know why things are the way they are. Our responsibility to ourselves as outdoor photographers is to manage our risks and enjoy our rewards. When things go sour and cameras die, that sucks but it's the price we pay. It's our risk tax.
This past July I chose to wear some comfortable slip-on shoes for a walk on the beach in Yachats. I know the geology of Yachats is rocky and yet I chose shitty shoes for the job. I slipped and fell and ruptured a tendon in my knee. I had to be carried off the beach on a backboard. I had surgery. I spent a lot of money on a scar and a knee that still doesn't bend right. I'm paying my tax every day for that poor choice. My wife would like to blame the rocky beach at Yachats, but she knows the truth. I have walked on that beach numerous times without incident. The beach isn't to blame.
Let's be adults and take responsibility for our actions and the consequences. When a wave claims a camera, it's not a "sneaker", it's a wave. A big, salty slab of water that couldn't care less about you and your gear. If you want to capture the drama and grandeur of the ocean, go forth and do so with clear eyes and the unshakable understanding that you are taking risks. Try to be safe and come back with great shots. And for the love of all that is holy, get some damn insurance!

Financial brokers who helped Olympus cover up years of investment losses, now at the centre of a growing scandal, have indirect links to Japan's yakuza crime syndicates, a press report said Monday.
Rewards that brokers earned from helping Olympus cover up the shortfalls could have been channeled to the notorious organised crime groups, the Japanese daily Sankei Shimbun said.
Olympus, a major producer of medical imaging systems and digital cameras, has admitted that it covered up huge investment losses dating back to the 1990s with fees for acquisitions and consultants.
The brokers who were involved in the acquisition schemes numbered around 10, among them former major securities firm officials, Sankei said.
"They are not members of crime syndicates themselves" but are said to have links to people "who conduct economic activities together with antisocial forces," the daily said without citing sources.
"Antisocial forces" is a euphemism used in Japan to mean yakuza.
"Therefore the brokers' connections can be traced into the territory of crime organisations," Sankei said.
"There is the possibility that Olympus has supplied cash (to organised crime) as a result, without knowing the background of (investment) funds effectively controlled by such brokers," the daily said.
The yakuza have been closely monitored but historically largely tolerated by the authorities. However, a clampdown is now under way.
Like the Italian mafia or Chinese triads, they have engaged in activities from gambling, drugs and prostitution to loan sharking, protection rackets, white-collar crime and business conducted through front companies.
Japanese prosecutors questioned former Olympus vice president Hisashi Mori on Friday over his alleged involvement in the cover-up, local media said.
Prosecutors are also likely to hold hearings with former Chairman and President Tsuyoshi Kikukawa and auditor Hideo Yamada, Jiji Press and Kyodo news agency said.
Mori and Yamada allegedly manipulated books by employing a scheme called "tobashi" -- which translates literally as "blow away" -- moving investment losses off their accounts into areas where investors would not see them.
Mori reportedly led four deals including the $2 billion purchase of British medical-instruments company Gyrus in 2008 in which Olympus has admitted paying $687 million to a little-known financial adviser based in the Cayman Islands.
Olympus also reportedly paid some $950 million to buy three domestic companies, including health-food firm Humalabo, between 2006 and 2008, before immediately writing off the investments.
The brokers, who were involved in these schemes, all have experience working at banks and securities firms at home and abroad, Sankei said.
"Many of them have their base in Singapore where the confidentiality of information, such as bank accounts, is highly secured," the daily said.
The latest developments come after weeks of pressure in the wake of former Chief Executive Michael Woodford's blowing the whistle on payments made in the four deals.
Woodford said he was dismissed after he alleged overpayments and called on then-chairman Kikukawa to resign.
The Briton is expected to return to Tokyo on Wednesday for the first time since the crisis erupted, to speak with Japanese police, prosecutors and regulatory agencies probing the case.

The Tenth Circuit reverses summary judgment and remands in a section 1981 case involving harassment of a call-center's only black employee. The panel reminds district courts and litigants that even non-racial remarks, against a backdrop of racially-offensive chatter, may constitute harassment. It also notes that "whether a workplace environment is sufficiently polluted for purposes of a § 1981 claim should not be based on whether an alleged harasser possessed the motivation or intent to cause discriminatory harm or offense."
Osborne v. Baxter Healthcare Corp., No. 14-8047 (10th Cir. Aug. 24, 2015)
The Tenth Circuit reviews an ADA claim of a deaf applicant for technician at a plasma-donation center. It holds that a health-care provider cannot fend off an analysis of whether a proposed accommodation for a disabled employee is reasonable simply by arguing that any risk to patients, however infinitesimal, is unacceptable.
Fulghum v. Embarq Corp., No. 13-3230 (10th Cir. Feb. 24, 2015)
While ERISA does not provide a limitations period for most claims, it does impose a three-year limitations period after discovery of a breach of fiduciary duty, plus a six-year period of repose. Yet the statute also provides that "in the case of fraud or concealment, such action may be commenced not later than six years after the date of discovery of such breach or violation." The Tenth Circuit examined this quoted language today, and remanded parts of a class action to be reconsidered under this provision.
Riser v. QEP Energy, No. 14-4025 (10th Cir. Jan. 27, 2015)
Employers have often argued that the Equal Pay Act does not apply if the male and female comparable employees spend significant amounts of time on different tasks. Yet the Tenth Circuit today affirmed that if a female employee performs additional duties beyond a male comparator, that fact does not defeat the employee's prima facie case under the EPA.
Green v. Donahoe, No. 13-1096 (10th Cir. July 28, 2014)
The Tenth Circuit addresses two issues of interest to those who regularly represent employees, especially those in the federal sector. First, the panel holds - in a widening circuit split - that a claim of constructive discharge under Title VII accrues not at the time that an employee quits, but when the last act of alleged discrimination by the employer occurs. In the federal sector, this is significant because of the narrow 45-day window for complaining about discrimination. Second, the panel holds that a threatened suspension without pay may, even if it does not materialize, constitute a "materially adverse action" for a Title VII claim of retaliation.
Kramer v. Wasatch Co. Sheriff's Office, No. 12-4058 (10th Cir. Feb. 25, 2014)
The Tenth Circuit today issued a terribly important read for people interested in fighting workplace sex harassment. The panel reverses summary judgment in a Title VII case where a woman jail employee was (allegedly) sexually assaulted by a sergeant, repeatedly, and yet failed to complain immediately for fear of losing her job. While not a complete win for the employee, the opinion points the way to others trapped in similar workplace dilemmas.
Smothers v. Solvay Chemicals Inc., No. 12-8013 (10th Cir. Jan. 22, 2014)
"Steven Smothers worked for Solvay Chemical, Inc. ('Solvay') for 18 years until Solvay fired him, ostensibly because of a first-time safety violation and a dispute with a coworker." The Tenth Circuit reverses summary judgment in this ADA and FMLA case, holding that the employee created a genuine dispute of material fact about whether Solvay singled him out for harsher treatment than his coworkers. The company, according to the summary judgment record, committed the rookie HR mistake of not allowing the employee to present his side of the story.
EEOC v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores, Inc., No. 11-5110 (10th Cir. Oct. 1, 2013)
Within a week of Abercrombie & Fitch ("A&F") announcing a settlement with the EEOC of two Title VII religious accommodation claims involving hijab-wearing employees in California, the Tenth Circuit orders entry of judgment for the clothing retailer against the EEOC in a similar case arising out of Oklahoma. The 2-1 decision applies a formalistic circuit rule that "the applicant or employee must initially provide the employer with explicit notice of the conflicting religious practice and the need for an accommodation for it." Employees are forewarned that, where workplace accommodations are concerned, courts expect you speak up for your rights.
Tabor v. Hilti, Inc., No. 11-5131 (10th Cir. Jan. 15, 2013)
Two women sales representatives who were denied promotions by hardware giant Hilti get a renewed opportunity to prove at trial that they were denied promotions because of sex, thanks to a Tenth Circuit decision on Tuesday. Among other evidence in the record: the male manager evaluating one plaintiff allegedly told her that tools "are like guns for men" and using them is "almost like second nature."
Sanchez v. Vilsack, No. 11-2118 (10th Cir. Sept. 19, 2012)
The Tenth Circuit joins other circuits and the EEOC in holding, under the Rehabilitation Act, that the required "reasonable accommodation" of persons with disabilities is not limited to accommodations related to the essential functions of a job. Here, the court holds that it may be a reasonable accommodation to transfer an employee to a major metropolitan area to enable her to get medical attention. "Considering the case law from this court and others, we conclude that a transfer accommodation for medical care or treatment is not per se unreasonable, even if an employee is able to perform the essential functions of her job without it."

Free-streamline theory is employed to construct an exact steady solution for a linear array of hollow, or stagnant cored, vortices in an inviscid incompressible fluid. If each vortex has area A and the separation is L, there are two possible shapes if A½/L is less than a critical value 0.38 and none if it is larger. The stability of the shapes to two-dimensional, periodic and symmetric disturbances is considered for hollow vortices. The more deformed of the two possible shapes is found to be unstable while the less deformed shape is stable.

Well I have two step-daughters, and we dont see them very much because they live in Spain, DH is flying out in 1.5 weeks to go and speed 3 weeks with them. Then they are coming over for 2 weeks at the end of August. Whenever the girls come over they are pretty good, Maria is almost 2, and Gala is 6. We dont have any problems at all with Maria, except she obviously wants her mum alot of the time, but after a few days she settles. Gala we somethings have minor problems with, none of the girls speak english which is really hard for me, Gala will have huge strops and I cant understand why, Owen who is Spanish will translate for me what she wants (as I only know a little Spanish) They are mainly because she doesnt like me telling her things or telling her off because she feels only her real mum should be able to do that.
So Gina, I think that he could be acting out because of why Gala does. But its different because you have been his mom for years, so I'm not sure...maybe hes having mixed feelings that who he should look up too, or maybe his mom has said something. Try and talk to him and ask him whats up, and when he does do what you ask thank him and so on.

Headless Aristocrat still looking for a leader
Troubled gaming machine company Aristocrat Leisure says a decision has not been made on a new chief executive officer.
The top job has been vacant since Des Randall stood down in April, following a series of profit downgrades.
The board of Aristocrat says the search for a replacement is well advanced, and an announcement will be made as soon as a candidate has been selected.
Shares in the company rallied more than seven per-cent today to $2.07 amid speculation an appointment was imminent.

(MALIBU HILLS, CA) -- JJF president, Jennifer James will co-direct 'Reunion', with her gal pal and Ecstasy Films president, Brooke Hunter. Shooting on Ecstasy's first adult feature will take place over three days, beginning Sunday, February 26 in a beautiful mansion high in the Malibu hills.
'Reunion' centers on three college friends that meet again 10 years after graduation for a weekend retreat. Upon their arrival in this secret and sensuous resort, the three women recall how they had been in college and how they have changed over the years. What starts as a simple reunion of three friends turns into a weekend of sexual fulfillment for each.
All of Ecstasy Films movies will be written and directed by women and, perhaps more importantly, for women and couples. Each feature will match the hottest adult talent with storylines combining sensual fantasy, hardcore sex and a fully realized story that viewers can relate too, and actually get involved in.
"Brooke is such an intense director; she's completely involved in every aspect of a production. I am looking forward to working on this project with Ecstasy Films, because Brooke has wanted to tell this story for a very long time. It is nothing short of a total expression of her passion as a woman and as a director," observed James.
Hunter returns her co-director's praise, "I'm thrilled to have Jennifer on this project. Jennifer is a dear friend and enjoys a long-standing reputation for her skill in producing quality adult features. Ecstasy Films is following the path that JJF choose many years ago, and it's appropriate that Jennifer is right there beside me as I head out on that same path."
'Reunion' stars Brooke Hunter, Shayla LaVeaux, Sara Stone, Tyla Wynn, Eva Angelina, Sophie Dee, Evan Stone, Nick Manning, Lee Stone and Don Hollywood.
'Reunion' will be shot and edited in true Hi-Def for distribution through Platinum Blue Productions. JJF Post will be handling all of Ecstasy Films editing in their new, fully HD equipped post-production facilities.
