Today is Inauguration Day in The United States, and we've spent the past few months processing what this day means and how it is going to affect us. Shortly before the holidays, we came across a project called "100 Songs for 100 Senators" organized by songwriter Jonathan Mann. The basic premise is this: rally together 100 songwriters, 2 from each state, to write a song for each senator holding him or her accountable for the actions of the incoming presidential administration. We immediately wanted to be involved, and the result is "Old North State," written for Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina. Writing this song was cathartic for us and we hope that it does something for you too. Please share this song far and wide wherever you can, especially with North Carolina elected officials There will be more new music to come this year as we process the beast that was 2016. ~ Folkstar

New Folkstar Album Loud and Clear is Now Available!
Here's a little bit about the album:
Folkstar's new album Loud and Clear is an intensely ambitious 16-track work of art. Folkstar's Kim Dicso and Sue Cag speak their minds on this album, with songs covering life and death, suicide and dreams, the flaws of our society and the beauty of our world.
Folkstar tackles teen bullying in the song "It Gets Better" (inspired by the It Gets Better Project). They scrutinize our manufactured lives in "Fabrication" and "Everybody Knows" and expose animal exploitation in "Human" and the jazzy number "Abolitionists." Crowd favorite "Could You Be" is an anthem about love and dreams, as is "Dream Thieves." Songs exploring death include "Final Curtain" and "New Eyes," which delve into the emotional complexities of losing someone. Of course there are songs about love as well, such as "Trampoline" and "Ice Queen," reminiscent of Folkstar's debut album Emotional Bootcamp. Finally, the title track "Loud and Clear" tells the story of Cag's hearing loss and talks about a "wake up call," a common theme throughout the album.
Folkstar fearlessly creates music of substance. Although formed in North Carolina and labeled folk-rock, their music features a variety of influences including west coast rock, indie, blues, jazz, and of course, acoustic singer-songwriter folk and intense guitar laden rock 'n' roll.

Google Apps for Business Drops Free Version | Web Development Services by Ed Nailor
On Dec 6, 2012, Google officially removed the free version of their very popular Google Apps for Business. In the past, you could register a free account and set up your email to run through Google's gMail service. You could also use this to establish a business account for Google Drive, Google Plus, and many other Google services.
While I understand why they are doing this, its a shame for the many small businesses. The service is a great option for managing email, especially when you consider the strong spam filters that Google offers for its gmail service.
I was fortunate enough to have signed up for both my EdNailor.com website as well as my GoRed.co domain, so both of these domains are running email through Google's servers. As someone that has now used this service for a few months, I can say that for many business owners, the small price of $60 per year is a worth the investment even i you are only worried about the reduction in spam. And when you consider the great search functionality, the easy integration into Microsoft Outlook and Android devices and the ability to ad new "alias" emails on the fly, the service is really hard to beat.
So if you missed out on the free accounts, I am sorry to tell you they are no longer available. But I would seriously advise you take a look and maybe do the 30 day free trial to see for yourself how great this service is.

In the last year of 2008, photographers' were spoiled by the Camera Lens Mug where they can sip their favorite beverage inside a custom made lens mug to show their level of addiction to photography.
And now once again, they'll get spoiled badly with another maniac photography gadget, a Camera Lens Calendar to helps them in-focus of their day and life!
Funny really, to see someone who get so devoted to one thing and one thing only. Getting a mug calendar might be useful, especially for those who love to climb deep into the forest or mountain to take the heavenly scenery. But I guess it's only for those who really devoted into photography would get this "abnormal calendar".
Though there is no worth on both pricing and whether it use battery or not, I suspect it to be having a automatic date updating system from certain type of power source. Whether it's battery or solar powered, it will just do fine. And I think it will still hot selling even though it's a manual calendar.
Photographer just can't hold this temptation because it's looks so cool and enough just to be a decoration on their desk or car.

|Explicit references to risk appear
throughout ISO 9001: 2015.
by Lisa Weeks, Marketing Communications, MasterControl
If you're unfamiliar with the concept of risk, or your exposure to it has been limited, now is the time to get comfortable with all aspects of risk as it relates to the quality management system. Why? Because the latest edition of the standard makes risk management, which has always been implicit, explicit. In other words, it's no longer optional; it's a must.
In this final installment of a three-part webinar series, ISO experts Walt Murray and Peter Knauer discuss (among other things) the four phases of risk management, where risk is documented in the new standard (hint—almost everywhere) and how to relate the objectives of your quality system to risk (this is key!). Get a head start on the transition process by watching this free webinar now.
Four Phases of Risk Management
The technical committee's decision to move away from the classic Corrective Action/Preventive Action (CAPA) model is a change that many ISO veterans are finding difficult to wrap their heads around. Are preventive actions really going away? Yes and no. In the current draft, the term "preventive action" has been replaced by the term "risk management" for two reasons: to sidestep the confusion many companies face in determining what constitutes a preventive action versus a corrective action and to force companies to think in a truly preventive mindset. However, although the term is being retired, the concept of preventive action will live on as part of the formalized risk management system, which is comprised of four phases: risk analysis, risk evaluation, risk control and post-product information. Each phase contains steps you must work through to complete the quality risk management process.
This article is related to the Video: How IS0 9001:2015 Affects Life Sciences and Manufacturing.
This article is related to the Video: How IS0 9001:2015 Affects Life Sciences and Manufacturing.
Risk Analysis (Phase One):
- Intended Use Identification. Identify your product's intended use according to the manufacturer's specifications, instructions and other information. In Europe, "intended use" is referred to as "intended purpose."
- Hazard Identification. Identify potential hazards (i.e., sources of harm), as well as the potential consequences.
- Risk Estimation. Estimate the amount of risk associated with the hazards you've identified.
Risk Evaluation (Phase Two):
- Risk Acceptability Determination. Determine your acceptance criteria, i.e., the level of risk that you are willing to accept.
- Risk Assessment. Assess your actual level of risk. It can be a quantitative estimate of risk, which is expressed by a numerical probability, or a qualitative description of the range of risk (e.g., low, medium or high). There are several risk assessment tools at your disposal. It's your responsibility to select the tool that's appropriate for your organization.
Risk Control (Phase Three):
- Risk Control Option (RCO) Analysis. Identify measures you can implement to mitigate or avoid risks that exceed an acceptable level.
- RCO Implementation. Decide how to implement the measures you've identified in your RCO analysis.
- Residual Risk Evaluation. Evaluate the risks that remain after the risk control measures have been implemented. Check to see if the measures you've implement have introduced new risks to the system or increased the significance of other previously identified risks.
- Overall Risk Acceptance Determination. Accept risk. This can be a formal decision to accept the residual risks or passive decision in which residual risk are not identified.
Post-Product Information (Phase Four):
- Risk Review. A risk management system should be an ongoing, dynamic part of the quality management process. In order for it to remain effective, you must continuously review or monitor events that might impact your original risk management decision. These events can be planned (e.g., product reviews, audits) or unplanned (e.g., recalls). Review frequency should be based upon risk level.
Risk: Here, There and EverywhereAfter ISO 9001: 2015 is published, organizations currently registered to ISO 9001: 2008 will have three years to transition to the new standard. This may seem like ample time, but the changes are significant. They include new terminology, increased leadership requirements and a complete restructuring of the standard to the high-level structure introduced in Annex SL, Appendix 2 of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. What's more, risk is no longer limited to specific elements of the quality management process; it's addressed throughout ISO 9001: 2015.
"The question to ask isn't 'Where is risk mentioned in the current DIS?' but 'Where isn't risk mentioned?' " said Murray, who has brought several life sciences organization to full registration under the ISO process model standard. Here are some examples:
- Clause 4…"the organization is required to determine risks that can affect its ability to meet objectives…"
- Clause 5…"top management is required to commit to ensuring Clause 4 [relating risks to objectives] is followed…"
- Clause 6…"the organization is required to plan and take action to address risks and opportunities..."
- Clause 8…"the organization is required to have processes which identify and address risk in its operations…"
- Clause 9... "the organization is required to consider risks and opportunities when determining what needs to be monitored, measured, analyzed and evaluated…"1
An End-to-End Process for Risk Management"In effect, ISO 9001: 2015 is asking you to establish an end-to-end process for identifying and addressing risks so your QMS can deliver upon its objectives and then to execute that process carefully and consistently throughout your organization," said Murray. "It's a tall order, and it's complicated by the fact that—because the standard must be flexible enough to address different situations—few tangible specifications are given. When a standard becomes less prescriptive, compliance requirements are subject to wider interpretation, and misinterpretations can (and often do) occur. This is where training becomes so important."
To learn more about the newly updated standard, particularly as it pertains to risk, watch ISO 9001: 2015, Part 3. If you missed the first two webinars, you can access them by clicking on the links below.
ISO 9001: 2015, Part 1 provides a high-level view of the impending changes.
ISO9001: 2015, Part 2 focuses on the new high-level structure and the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" methodology.

Norway Occupations:Mining
Mining is the act or process of removing ores, coal, and minerals from the earth. In Norway, in additions to other ores and minerals, there has been mining for iron ore, cobalt ore, copper pyrite, sulphur pyrite, zinc, lead, silver and gold. When mining became an important source of revenue for Norway in the 1600's, capital and skilled workmen were brought in from Germany. Gradually Norwegian competence was accomplished. In 1754 the first school of mining in Europe was started at Kongsberg. Norway had a meaningful mining industry until the 1960's. Today the only place where traditional mining takes place on Svalvard, but today this most important resources which are mined are stone, gravel, sand, and clay.
Middle Ages
- The first evidence of mining in Norway is found in the Oslo area from the 13th to 16th centuries.

- 1600 - Copper mines were in existence in Trøndelag from the beginning of the 1600's.
- 1622 - The first effective smelting furnace was built at Bærum. Other smelting furnaces were in operation in the Oslo areas and especially around Arendal by the end of the century.
- 1623 - Discovery of silver in Sandsvær.
- 1644 - Røros Copper mine began.
- 1652 - Løkken mine began.
- 1600's - During this time Holland began to require stone along their seacoast and to build new dykes. Good quality stone (gneiss and granite) of the right size and quantity was found along the fjords of southern Norway. The amount of stone exported to Holland was so immense that it is said that many parts of the city of Amsterdam lie on Norwegian ground.
- From the 1700's to the turn of the last century, the mining industry was at the heart of the Norwegian economy and very important source of income in many communities.
- 1713 - Mining for copper at Selbu in Trøndelag began.
- 1737 - Slate was taken at Alunverket along Oslo fjord south of the city.
- 1741 - Copper mining was begun in Folldal.
- 1753 - Marble was quarried at Lier near Drammen and among other places was delivered to Marmorkirken (Marble Church) in Copenhagen.
- 1773 - Cobalt mine was established as a royal mine.
- 1789 - Cobalt was also mine at Åsterudtjern at Holleia in Ringerike.
- The Napoleonic Wars made it necessary for the king to mortgage the royal cobalt mine called Blaafarveværket to the Swedish merchant Peter Wilhelm Berg. In 1821 the mine was sold to a German-English consortium. The mine became Norway's largest industry (until 1848) and the world's largest producer of cobalt blue.
- 1842 - After the fire in Hamburg, Germany, stone from Grefsen and Grorud in Oslo were exported for use as bridges, stairs, building blocks, etc.
- 1870's - Iddefjord granite dominated as a building material especially for bridges and streets.

- 1858 - Lysaker Chemical Company
- 1865 - Sulpher pyrite min at Vigsnes and later at Varalsøy on Stord.
- Sulitjelma mine began operation
- 1890's - Kjøli and Killingdal, north of Røros

- Nickel was mined beginning about 1850 at the following locations:
- Ringerike, west of Tyristrand
- Bamble
- Askim
- Sigdal
- Evje
- Senja
- Skjækerdalen
- Chromium production started in Trondheim. Most of this ore came from the Røros and Alvdal areas.

Adaptive Routing in Network-on-Chips Using a Dynamic-Programming Network
Dynamic routing is desirable because of its substantial improvement in communication bandwidth and intelligent adaptation to faulty links and congested traffic. However, implementation of adaptive routing in a network-on-chip system is not trivial and is further complicated by the requirements of deadlock-free and real-time optimal decision making. In this paper, the authors present a deadlock-free routing architecture which employs a Dynamic Programming (DP) network to provide on-the-fly optimal path planning and network monitoring for packet switching. Also, a new routing strategy called k-step look ahead is introduced. This new strategy can substantially reduce the size of routing table and maintain a high quality of adaptation which leads to a scalable dynamic-routing solution with minimal hardware overhead.

HARP And FHA Streamline Refinance Loans
If you have a home whose value is lower than your mortgage balance amount, you may be eligible for a HARP. Home Affordable Refinance Program, streamline refinance loan to lower your current interest rate and lower your payments. If you have a FHA insured mortgage loan with a higher interest rate, you may be eligible for a FHA streamlne refinance loan with a lower interest rate where you can lower your monthly payment. Both the HARP and FHA streamline refinance programs can offer great valuable benefits to the homeowner such as reducing the borrower's monthly payments and saving them money by rapidly increasing their equity in their homes. HARP and FHA streamline refinance loans are a great route to take for homeowners who have higher interest rates.
HARP: Home Affordable Refinance Program
HARP, The Home Affordable Refinance Program, has been a Godsend for homeowners who have fallen victims of the real estate market crash of 2008. HARP and FHA Streamline Refinance programs are somewhat similar, except with HARP, this loan program helps homeowners who have mortgage loans that have a balance that is higher than the value of their home. The commonly used term for a home that has a higher mortgage balance than the market value is known as having a home that is UNDERWATER. Homeowners with homes underwater would not have the opportunity to refinance their home loans if it were not for the HARP program. The Home Affordable Refinance Program now makes homeowners who have underwater mortgage loans that are owned and/or serviced by Freddie Mac and/or Fannie Mae possible to do a HARP and FHA Streamline Refinance. Main purpose to refinance underwater mortgage loans is to save money by taking advantage of lower interest rates, thus, reducing their monthly mortgage payment.
HARP And FHA Streamline: FHA Streamline Refinance Loans
FHA Streamline Refinance Loans makes it possible for homeowners to refinance their current mortgage loans with short cuts so they are able to close on their FHA Streamline Refinance loans with less documentation which makes the mortgage loan approval process much quicker. FHA Streamline Refinance mortgage loan borrowers do not need to provide income verification, employment verification, credit scores, or a current appraisal on their home. To qualify for both the HARP and FHA Streamline Refinance Loans, mortgage lenders require that you cannot have more than one 30 day late mortgage payment history and need to be current for the past six month. HARP and FHA Streamline refinance loans are similar with the exception that with HARP, the borrowers need to owe more on their mortgage balance and if the borrower had a prior HARP refinance loan, they will not qualify for another HARP mortgage loan.
FHA Streamline Refinance Mortgage
A mortgage borrower can do either a conventional or FHA streamline refinance loan with HARP as long as the mortgage loan is owned and/or serviced by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. To qualify for a FHA Streamline Refinance Loan, the borrower needs to currently have an existing FHA insured mortgage loan in order to qualify. If you are interested if a HARP and FHA Streamline Refinance loan in Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, California, or Indiana, please contact me at 262-716-8151 or at www.gustancho.com .

England's women, under Charlotte Edwards, have become the pre-eminent team in the women's game and are the side to beat here. In this event two years ago they were eliminated in the group stage but they have yet to lose more than six wickets, let alone a match, this time round.
They should retain that unbeaten record and win the competition. With Holly Colvin leading a surfeit of spin bowlers, and inventive batters, the team are ideal for the sluggish, grippy pitches at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium, where 100 can be a very competitive score.
"The Australians will look at the pitch here, and probably prefer it to be a bit quicker," Edwards said. "But it's one we feel comfortable on. We're good players of spin – that's something we really pride ourselves on."
Women's cricket, with its emphasis on cagey spin, ring fields and deflections off the bat, is not well served by the slow surfaces in Colombo on which even the men have struggled to hit boundaries. Ideally, the women need pace on the ball, something that Australia might provide given the success of Julie Hunter and Ellyse Perry, who took five and two wickets respectively in their 28-run win over the West Indies in the semi-final.
Shortening the pitch by a yard or two could also achieve extra pace, which would enable more strokeplay. Hardly new, the idea would concord with the other changes made for the women's game, such as reduced boundaries and ball size. The balls are smaller than those used in men's cricket, which weigh between 155.9 and 163 grams with a circumference just under nine inches, but bigger than those used in junior cricket.
The inner fielding circle is 23 metres from the stumps as opposed to 30 for men, while the women's boundaries can be no further than 64 metres from the crease.
Female players who have grown up with the current pitch dimensions will no doubt feel demeaned by suggestions that they be reduced and in time more women might bowl faster over 22 yards. But at the moment, slow bowling is the norm and the batting spectacle mostly drives the appeal of limited-overs cricket.
Not that England's batters will be easily constrained. Edwards and Sarah Taylor have the power to hit over the top, as both did against New Zealand in the semi-final, while Lydia Greenway plays deft sweep shots both sides of the wicket.
Possible teams
England: *CM Edwards, LA Marsh,†SJ Taylor (w/k), LS Greenway, A Brindle, DN Wyatt, JL Gunn, KH Brunt, D Hazell, A Shrubsole, HL Colvin.
Australia: †*JM Fields, AJ Healy, MM Lanning, JE Cameron, LC Sthalekar, AJ Blackwell, RL Haynes, EA Osborne, JL Hunter, EA Perry, JL Jonassen.

Discuss here. Airs on FX in the US tonight, tomorrow on FOX in the UK/Ireland.
Well...it's more of a Fox show
Marvel are definitely more involved in it than they are in the X-Men movies though.
For instance, they're plugging it on Twitter fairly regularly, but have never once mentioned the Logan movie: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from%3Amarvel%20legion https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from%3Amarvel%20logan
It's definitely the perfect show for this particular Fox.
So looking forward to Legion.
It's an FX production which is the same network that airs Taboo.
I am looking forward to seeing it tonight.
Evocative, with good performances, and memorable sequences...
But a tad more straightforward approach (at least for the pilot) would have been better.It just gets annoying if you're trying to get people to get invested/interested.
Legion 1.1: Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson and David Lynch had a child named Noah Hawley in an alternate universe and he crossed over to ours on a mission to make the greatest comic book TV series ever.
Mission accomplished.
That was the most ball tripping, original take on the super hero genre I have ever seen. That was phenomenal. I truly cannot wait for the next episode.
If the quality holds up, Legion will be the platinum standard for superhero television.
A straightforward approach would have been a terrible decision. Doing that would have made it a generic series that we already have. Going balls deep while tripping balls makes it unique and allows it to stand out from everything else. I had no problem getting invested in the characters.
Don't put words in my mouth and disregard what positives I listed.
I said a tad more.
Because by the fifth time it was a hallucination within a delusion it was starting to grate.
This is so spot on.
Not that they had a child named Hawley but that Legion feels like a weird combination of those three.
And something for @Bernadette:
No.. No. No.
I'd didn't realise where you'd led me. I'm not looking at anything round here until I've seen the episode.
I so want to watch this.
Only I don't want to do it illegally.
Grrr. Here's hoping it'll be on Netflix Germany or at least on Amazon to buy soon.
That was great, but I feel I need to rewatch. It seems there's a lot that will make more sense after seeing more episodes.
It's fair to say it's unlike anything on television at the moment - and the non-linear narrative was great.
Im a fan of Legion as a character and really got into the X-Men:Legacy series.
I'm wondering, now -considering that one of the core conceits of the character is that different personalities manifest different powers - I'm wondering if: Syd Barret, who seems like such an obvious lift from the Pink Floyd singer, Ptolemy, Lenny, Miss Bird and the gang at the end are actually just manifestations of different powers/personalities . There's enough hints that that may be the case, and with an unreliable narrator, there's lots of twists and turns you can do. I think Sydney Might have been an inmate once who left, bu who David never actually met, and so he invented her name and relationship in his head. When they "touch" it's activating Sydney's power .
That was pretty interesting,
I think that what we are seeing is the civil war in David's head before he gains some semblance of control over his psyche.
A theory I fully admit is off the wall.Another being is that we are seeing different Davids at any given scene within his psyche.

How does it work? Did it work for you? How long did it take to reach your goal? How do you know if your goal is too much? Have you ever used two different projects to create one large project via Kickstarter? Tell me what you know!
sort by best latest
Hey, it's an all-or-nothing crowdfunding site. So if you don't raise all of the money you need, the funds are returned to backers.
They only accept creative projects and projects must be approved before going live.
R.e. your goal... You simply need to think about how much money you need to do whatever it is you're planning to do.
Not sure about creating two different projects but remember, Kickstarter are pretty selective about what projects launch so trying to run two will probably be difficult and dilute support.
Finally, how long it takes you to reach your goal depends totally on your campaign. Some have raised millions in a few days whereas others fail to gather any momentum. You need to offer great rewards and initially do some hard promoting to the people you already know.
I hope that helps!

Chef Choice Portland Food Aventure with Jenn Louis of North PDX's Lincoln Restaurant
Friday, March 11, 2011
By Allison Jones
Last night, a group of hungry diners gathered at Lincoln – Chef Jenn Louis' gorgeous and highly acclaimed North Portland restaurant – for an evening of family-style food and exploration of Jenn's honest and creative approach to Pacific Northwest cuisine. The fourth Portland Food Adventures Chef's Choice dinner brought together food lovers of all stripes to enjoy one of the best menus in Portland as it transitions from winter's hearty comfort food to spring's greens and lighter dishes. I'd been to Lincoln a few times before, notably last fall after Jenn and I made Ribollita together at the Portland Farmers' Market, but last night was extra-special. Jenn selected a long list of dishes that represented Lincoln's hyper-seasonal menu and signature blend of high-end and accessible food – from classic cassoulet with rabbit, lamb, pancetta, and tarbais beans, to brandade (sold cod/olive oil mousse) fritters, fried fennel, and some absolutely perfect onion rings. We were treated to the story of how Jenn and her husband (Lincoln's front-of-the-house and bar manager David Welch) met when she was working at Wildwood, chatted with Gabe Rosen of Biwa about his mission of bringing traditional, fun, and accessible Japanese food to a nondescript corner of Southeast Portland, and received a big envelope stuffed with gift certificates to some of Jenn's favorite spots in town.
As always with PFA dinners, the party didn't end after the last plate is cleared – we get to look forward to future visits to Podnah's Pit's newly-opened NE Killingsworth location, happy hour at Biwa, great coffee at Ristretto Roasters, fresh-baked treats from Little T Baker, and Jenn Louis' highly-anticipated SE Division hang-out, Sunshine Tavern (set to open on April 19). Want to get in on the next Portland Food Adventure? We're heading to Tabla Bistro for Chef Anthony Cafiero's take on Spanish cuisine, inspired by his recent trip to Madrid, Barcelona, and San Sebastian. It's going to be amazing, so reserve your seats ASAP! As always, my camera was with me last night, so feel free to eat vicariously – but I want to see you at the table with me next time!
Brandade fritters and fried fennel with aioli and lemon.
Flatbread with fromage blanc, roasted apple, prosciutto, and fig salame.
Arugula salad with cara cara oragnes, pine nuts, and dates.
Milk-braised fennel and lacinato kale with lardo and chiles (not pictured).
Cassoulet with rabbit, lamb, pancetta, and tarbais beans.
Panna cotta with saba (a sweet syrup made from fresh grape must)
Check out photos and stories for the previous Portland Food Adventures:

"We're like celebrities to all these people, kinda like the role models an' all!"
Vinegar (ビネガー, Binegā) is a large, brawny member of the Spice Boys. He is large, and purple with dark brown hair. He is short tempered and arrogant when it comes to fighting. Like Garlic Jr., his power increases when the Makyo Star passes by Earth.
Dragon Ball Z
Garlic Jr. Saga
Main article: Garlic Jr. Saga
Vinegar is first seen when Garlic Jr. comes back from the Dead Zone. Later, with the Spice Boys, he attacks Kami's Lookout, capturing Mr. Popo, and later Kami in bottles. After the death of Salt and Mustard, Vinegar attacks Krillin, beating him up and kicking him over the edge of the Lookout. Vinegar is then killed by an enraged Gohan who fires two simultaneous Masenkos at him and Spice, destroying them both.
Vinegar's power level is 800,000 in Dragon Ball Z: The Anime Adventure Game.
Techniques and special abilities
- Flight – The ability to fly with the use of ki. Used during the battles on Kami's Lookout.
- Vinegar Cannon – A Full Power Energy Ball used as part of a combined attack with Spice during the battles on Kami's Lookout. Named in the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes.
- Energy Web – A red energy web used in combination with the other Spice Boys to trap opponents.
Super Vinegar
Main article: Gigantification
Vinegar takes a powered up form after being energized by the Makyo Star. His muscle mass and strength increase greatly, and his entire body also grows in size and height.
Video game appearances
He is playable Dragon Ball Heroes, like the other Spice Boys.
Voice actors
- Japanese: Daisuke Gōri (originally), Mitsuaki Hoshino (Dragon Ball Heroes)
- English FUNimation dub: John Freeman
- French dub: Georges Lycan
- Latin American dub: José Luis Castañeda
- Brazilian Portuguese dub: Aníbal Munhoz
- Vinegar is the first character to catch a Destructo Disk thrown at him, which was impossible for any character in the manga. Gohan would do this later, though unlike Vinegar, his hand makes no physical contact with it. This was also filler.
- He, along with Salt, are the only members of the Spice Boys to not have new voices in the Re-mastered Funimation Dub.
- Vinegar is the ONLY member of Garlic jr's team (other than Garlic jr himself and Ginger) to have a name not based on a pun (he is named AFTER a spice), Salt was originally "Zald" (or Zard) and Mustard was originally "Tard" in japanese, Spice was actually Gashew (Mistakly rominizated as Cashew by fans) in japanese, a pun on "sugar" http://www.kanzenshuu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=12853
- Vinegar, King Cold, Ox-King, King Yemma share the same voice actor in japanese and french (japanese voiced by Daisuke Gouri, and french voiced by Georges Lycan)
- Speaking of which, Ox-King and Yemma have hats with horns, also fitting with Vinegar

Discussion in 'Big XII Conference' started by CycloneErik, Nov 7, 2013.
Looking forward to this FS1 extravaganza!
Baylor's first sellout! Can they break out?
It still pains me that Baylor has a top 10 team.
Now I'm not sure if I want to see them do well in hopes that some day our program could - or if I just want them to return to the doormat with us.
Either way, tonight should let BU show the world if they are for real or not.
Look at that place! There must be 10, 11-thousand people there!!!!!
And how stinky was it when they pulled that tarp up from the endzone seats??!!?!!
This game makes me sad
I'm jealous, no doubt.
Still, fun game ahead.
Do we root for Oklahoma out of spite, which tempts me, or root for Baylor 'cause it is going to be us someday?
Anyone else feeling there might be something like ISU v OU 2002?
I can't take it. I have to root of OU - No matter what I just can't bring myself to say I wish we were BU......
I hate Oklahoma too much to do that. I'm going for the hoping approach.
I like this thready.
To hell with Oklahoma. They've had their day. Kansas state was worst team in history, they won big 12 championship last season, this season Baylor, next season Iowa state!
A guy can dream, cant he?
Having that Peter Griffin guy helping announce the game is entertaining.
He thready read good.
Why is the main game camera zoomed out so far?
Also, where is the digitaly image? This looks so 1995.
Absolutely! I just took a sip of beer and toasted Iowa State's eventual Big 12 Championship.
Is Fox Sports 1 always like this? This is not a good way to market your product.
i don't know, but it is driving me nuts....almost as much as the terrible crew in the booth.
Bad camera work, bad announcers, and I haven't seen a smokin hot sideline reporter yet. FS1 really dropping the ball on this one.

While recording his demo, Prophet Record's executives were buzzing about Cliff and his work and exceptional talent and offered him a deal.

With more and more customers turning to the internet these days to research where to take their business, the opportunities for marketing your collision repair shop online can really pay off. One of the few times the web can be detrimental for your business, however, is when someone posts a nasty review of your shop. You could be the best auto body shop in your state and there's still a chance you might inadvertently anger a customer who might then choose to voice his or her frustrations online. Much to your horror, those damaging words might echo over and over in your mind, as well as for who-knows-how-many years on the internet (forever?).
Some auto body shop owners turn to places like Profile Defenders, RemoveMyName.com, and other online reputation management firms when they find a bad review, which could be very expensive, as well as ineffective (see The Wall Street Journal article "Hoping to Fix Bad Reviews? Not So Fast."). Before you try that, here's what we recommend you do if you get a bad online review:

Many homeowners refinance to lower their monthly mortgage payments. Interest rates are still historically low so it's an ideal time to discuss your options with one of American Financing salaried-based mortgage consultants. Generally, homeowners will want to refinance if the interest rate is lower than when you financed your home, or if you have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) that will soon have a higher interest rate than the current rate. Refinancing can make a big difference on monthly payments, but it is also important for the homeowner to consider the fees associated with refinancing so the homeowners can figure out how long they need to be in the home to cover the costs of this type of transaction. The general rule in the industry is that if the current interest rate is lower than the rate at which the homeowner financed the home by at least two percent, refinancing is something to consider.
Let American Financing help you with *lowering your monthly mortgage payment. American Financing has a dedicated staff that can help you determine if refinancing for lower mortgage payments is a viable option.
It is not too late to refinance call American Financing today (866) 750-6551 or complete the online application and start saving money every month on your home loan. The prequalification process only takes 10 minutes - Call us today!
**the consumer's total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Business Operations' started by Patrick Gant, Feb 23, 2007.
Can my customers claim lawn care on their taxes as a deduction?
Of course they can. If they're a business, they will send you a 1099 (misc. income) no later than January 31st.
If it is a commercial property, you can be sure that it's a business expense, and they will deduct it.
If it is residential, and the homeowner uses a portion of his home as "home office" space he may deduct the equivalent percentage of home services as an expense.
Example......if 10% of his home is used soley by his business and for no other purpose he may deduct 10% of:
Carpet cleaning
Lawn Service
But, he has to prove that portion of his home was purchased for the purpose of running a home-based business, and that's ALL it is used for.
If your customers are asking these questions, they should be asking their accountant!
Thanks Guys
Thanks Guys, sounds good.
What if the company is paying for it so that they can put in more hours at the office. Then the homeowner/business owner should be able to write off the entire amount.
I run my lawn business out of my home. Can I deduct a % of it?
Yes, figure the square footage of your office bring it up to your accountant they can give you the deductions from there, I believe you can also do it in Turbotax
Yes, you can deduct a portion of your home as business. Additional things you can deduct, not metioned above:
Interest paid on your home (Form 1098)
Upgrades that benefit your business space (carpeting, remodeling, new furnace, roof, etc.)
Other questions: Can your customer deduct lawn care as a means to reduce the number of hours at home and spend more at the office. NO! I guess you could, but you would have to prove that caring for your own lawn is the reason that you can't be as productive at work....and they would still audit you for that one and laugh the whole time. You could go on and on with services that provide you more working hours if they let you do that!
Auto washes/detailing
Carpet cleaners
Carpet installers
Cooks - additional meals out with your family
dog walker
molly maids
Basically, anything hired out could be deducted....I don't think that'll fly
what is the average % of business should a landscaper claim he does at home?

TC, you are aware of the fact that 3DS is extremely outdated techbologically and is in fact only slightly beyond PSP graphics whereas vita is a much stronger and technologically advanced piece of hardware right?
So why is it losing, hard?
It's not even in second place. PSP is still second place. Hell, throw DS into it and they're third and fourth place. I don't know why people are continually surprised by the fact that the stronger system never wins. The (arguably) strongest system has not won since the SNES. That was -over twenty years ago-. The strongest systems since have been: Game Gear, N64, GameCube/Xbox (debatable), PS3, PSP. None have won. GBA ran unopposed. Vita is simply the next in a well established trend of the folly of ambition overriding common sense. It is, quite to its detriment, too powerful. And there is no quicker way to illustrate the difference between worth and value than the sad story of the Vita.

Mario Kart 7 boring rehash, super mario 64 same experience and better then mario 3d land, though I guess you could call those games quality considering what the 3DS has to offer.
RE revelations controls like crap which people spin into it's more survivalee, gameplay meh, story ridicules medicore at best.
street fighter not a quality port on 3ds no port is except n64 ones.
rest are quality but what happend to 10 to 20 you are reaching to just list 10

I have 4 games for my 3ds and planning on only buying one more this year, thanks to gamefly i didnt waste money on Kid Icarus, I really hate gimmickly controls. Right now i got tales of the abyss, zelda, heroes of ruin, and code of princess. The only other game for the 3ds im interested in is KH. Ragnarock Odyssey is a better version of heroes of ruin and code of princess to me at least. Tales of the abyss is the reason i got the 3ds and really I have beaten OoT so many times already.

SO, where are they know?
Yes, what's happened to the two bonny girls in the picture at the top of this column (underneath that one of the not-so-bonny bloke!).
They are Louise Foster and Caroline Porter although the surnames may have changed since this photo was taken.
I came across it looking through some of our city derby match photographs of past years, research for our "Super Sunday" special derby edition which is in the shops tomorrow.
This one was from the Bramall Lane game of October 23, 1993, and the caption on it said Louise and Caroline were best friends.
So, in addition to where are they now 18 years on, I wonder if they are still best friends?
Has that friendship survived their support for club rivals? And another question: have they both still got those necklaces? Owls fan Louise (if she is indeed the one on the left) is wearing an Owl necklace while Caroline has the Blades crossed scimitars as hers.
Do they both still support their clubs? If they do, do they both still go?
Less likely is that they'll be sitting next to each other in 2011 if they are at the Lane a week on Sunday as they did in 1993 (a 1-1 draw incidentally). So, I'm intrigued to know what happened to them and if they still go to Hillsborough and the Lane.
Assuming they are married, did they marry a Blade or an Owl. Or neither? Are there any little Blades or Owls following in their footsteps? It's a lovely picture that rather captures the closeness that does exist within this split soccer city.
So, if anybody should know where these two girls, now young women of course, are now - perhaps either or both might get to hear of the plea - then please get in touch with me here at The Star.
Now, a confession. I'm fed up. I'm finally fed up of Brave Scotland.
I seem to have been hearing and reading about Brave Scotland all my sporting life.
They lose and it's Brave Scotland. England win and all manner of vitriol and criticism is heaped on our guys. I've never seen Brave England.
They were at it again last Saturday in the Rugby World Cup.
Scotland had to beat England by eight points to knock us out. They might have done it but England scraped a win of their own. Brave Scotland.
Don't get me wrong. I've nothing against any Scot outside of a sporting conflict.
Could anyone be nicer than those Scottish landladies bringing a bowlful of porridge to your breakfast table of a morning - or friendlier than her husband (who certainly knows his football).
No, it's just that when it comes to sport, the Scots hate, despise and detest anything English in front of them on a sports field.
I've seen Scottish rugby teams capitulate meekly - then turn up the next week against the Auld Enemy breathing the fiery-ist of fire and brimstone.
As for football, if there's a more intimidating place to be than as an England supporter at Hampden Park in the 1970s (and I went three times) then I'll avoid it thanks.
If England dip to the French in the quarter-finals tomorrow there will be no kind words.
In view of the indiscipline on and off the field, which smacks of arrogance, they don't deserve any.
But you won't have long to wait for the next Brave Scotland. Their footballers are away to Spain next Tuesday.
Get ready!

Many companies view IT spending as an unrecoverable cost, but there may be many opportunities to recapture some of that spending from vendors, suppliers and customers:
Many companies have contract managers or even entire contract or vendor management groups that are evaluated and compensated on a combination of success in mitigating vendor or supplier risk and savings achieved for the materials, products and services the company buys. Enlisting the assistance of such individuals or groups will be mutually beneficial -- IT executives may be able to avoid unpalatable activities like playing hardball with a favored vendor or supplier, and every dollar recovered by contract or vendor management will contribute positively to the metrics on which they are evaluated.
IT executives aren't the only ones under pressure to demonstrate more value and drive out costs. Where any sort of an allocation or chargeback structure exists, there will be someone in the accounting and finance function responsible for minimizing corporate spend and ensuring that departments or divisions pay their fair share. By enlisting their assistance, IT executives will gain a valuable ally in both identifying and collecting potentially recoverable IT spending. Those responsible for allocation will be able to take credit for every dollar that becomes a divisional or departmental expense rather than a corporate one.
Sales executives always are on the lookout for allocable costs that can be factored into multiple equivalent offers when negotiating purchase or service agreements with customers. Where IT executives can add a potential cost to be facto red into the sales price -- even if a portion of it is eliminated as part of negotiations -- a mutually beneficial opportunity is created for the sales team to convert pass-through costs to sales revenue and for IT executives to recapture some portion of non-value IT spend required to support delivery of the sales contract.
Recapturing even ten cents of every dollar of non value-creating IT spending could have a significant positive impact on the funds available to IT to drive value-creating activities. IT executives can make the process even easier by not going at it alone.
Future articles will explore additional means to protect IT budgets and enhance the value companies receive in return for their annual investments in information technology even further.

Apparently it's both. From what I've gathered, it captures both a high resolution and a low resolution image with each capture. The 5mp image is for digital zooming without pixelating and for sharing on social networking sites but it looks like you can still get the high resolution image as well (though you get either 33mp or 38mp depending on aspect ratio).

it takes a 38 hi res version and at the same time an oversampled 5mp version for sharing.
I've been following this phone for months, so it will be interesting to see actual shots.
it will replace my Nokia 920 when my contract ends in November.

It is a 5MP Camera. It is a 41MP so that it allows the Camera zoom without using optical zoom. From engineering point of view, Optical zoom is expensive and require movement (which creates less reliable).

It's really a camera, but with a phone. Next thing you know, Nikon and Canon will crank out phones, but with full frame 100mp cameras, probably within the next year.

I am struggling to understand the market niche here. This seems to be a camera with a (Symbian OS) phone.
20 years ago, folks bought a mobile phone and then bought a camera.
10 years ago things started to converge and they bought a PHONE with a camera.
Are we now thinking that folks will buy a CAMERA with a phone? Will that become a new convergent device? I just don't see it. I don't see the stack order of consumer preferences putting the camera ahead of the phone (and its size, shape, weight, looks).
But, like most other things tech, convergence of devices will be driven by those a generation younger than I and I am interested to see how it will turn out.

Interesting that it will use non-destructive cropping (i.e. Original image is saved, just that you see the cropped image each time.).
Probably runs on Windows 8 from the screen shot. It actually implies Windows 8.1. Might be memory handling issues it needs to run the thing being dual-core and camera's image files.
Don't know about Hipstamatic over Instagram. To take on Instagram could be a disaster since it is part of Facebook and very established with the Apple users.
It's no wonder Adobe ran to "The Cloud" to lock-in subscriptions and cash flow. This change of game could be telling for their future on the next camera generation. They hinted at it in their SEC report around page 44 as I recall and it went on for 10 pages. Seemed worried at their future in the report.
Nikon might be smart to move into the field somehow as they are hinting. SIM card in their DSLR lineup along with built-in Wi-Fi and pad support? Might need some sort of image processing onboard to get file sizes suited to wireless transfer if they go heavy to a 100MP sensor.
Next 10 years will be interesting. Probably won't look like anything now at all.

What good are 41 tiny and noisy pixels?
They should be going for lower noise and greater dynamic range instead.

text: Hi friends , I was facing the same issue with my Punto Diesel and took it to concorde for my Annual 45k Service . The SA said that the link rod is cut and needs to be replaced ! He gave me a big bill of 10k and I wasnt sure if it was necessary. Looks like it could be just a screw that needs to be tightened ? Is there any safety concern if the link road is not fixed ? I get a khar khar sound when the steering is turned towards the right.. Can I buy the link road and get it fixed through an outside mechanic ? He also says the mounting needs to be changed as the front shocks have become weak ! Let me know if what he says is right , or He`s just pulling a fast one on me !

The American-Israeli-Palestinian/Arab agreement to launch "proximity talks" between Israelis and Palestinians this week has been widely dismissed as a gesture without much hope or substance. That may be too pessimistic and too early a conclusion. The talks, in which U.S. Mideast envoy George Mitchell will shuttle between Israeli and Palestinian leaders, may include some intriguing elements that are worth watching, especially vis-à-vis the United States and its views on a permanent peace settlement.
Here are my Top 10 Reasons Why We Should Not Dismiss The Proximity Talks So Quickly:
1. The talks reflect Barack Obama's administration's persistence in Arab-Israeli diplomacy, even after both Arabs and Israelis sharply rejected its initial foray into this treacherous terrain last year. Persistence in mediation is crucial for success. Washington seems to seriously believe that an Arab-Israeli peace agreement is in its own national interest.
2. Pragmatism and patience appear to have triumphed in the competition among the three schools of thought in Washington on how to proceed. An American ex-official and friend who worked in this arena for years described them to me recently as: the "Dennis Ross" approach that sees placating Israel as the most critical linchpin of American Mideast diplomacy; the "George Mitchell" approach that sees resumption of negotiations (even indirect proximity talks) as critical to creating a new dynamic; and the "Jim Jones" approach that sees America's national strategic interests requiring it to lay out its own ideas on how to achieve peace.
3. Mr. Mitchell is a realistic and experienced negotiator who has just scored a small success, but only when talks seriously get under way can he put all his skills to work. Significantly, he is mediating between high-level Israelis and Palestinians, including the respective top leaders. And Mr. Obama almost certainly will become more involved behind the scenes.
4. The launch of these talks shows how the United States can use its influence to move both sides when it puts its mind to it. In this case, the talks have started with Israel effectively freezing all its settlements without publicly declaring this, and the Palestinians have agreed to participate without Israel acceding to their demand that it formally announce a settlement freeze. Both sides are getting something important, and simultaneously giving something important to the other side. Chalk up another one for the George Mitchell school of diplomacy.
5. If the United States is ever going to use its muscle to push for a realistic and fair compromise agreement, it can only do so inside a negotiating process. There, it can do things that it would never be able to attempt in the public arena, where too many other constraints are at play.
6. The United States is the official instigator, mediator, cheerleader, hand-holder and back-rubber of the proximity talks, but also the record-keeper, archivist and note-taker. When either side now makes a move, takes a position, accepts or tables an offer, it will be recorded for posterity. Weasel-like leaders can no longer play games with what they accept or reject, and they must face both each other and their own people more honestly. All sides, mediator included, now must get down off the fence.
7. Only with proximity talks can the United States - if it wishes, and I believe it cannot avoid - start to offer bridging proposals that seek to bring the two sides closer together. Washington will never offer its own peace plan unilaterally in a speech or a television interview; it needs the context of an active negotiation to influence the parties by showing its hand, revealing its views on a permanent, comprehensive peace, and nudging both sides in that direction.
8. The proximity talks have a built-in clock, which the Arab world has set at four months. We don't know what happens if no progress is achieved after four months, but the official death of open-ended talks is a good step.
9. The resumption of formal, if indirect, negotiations provides a context in which the negotiators and the mediator can all work more maturely to harness regional and international support for the diplomatic process than presidents Bill Clinton or George W. Bush did in their failed attempts.
10. The talks provide a means for public opinion on both sides to coalesce around quality, courageous leadership, if such a thing exists in Israel and Palestine. Leaders can achieve a peace agreement only if they have majority support among their people. The resumption of official negotiations provides an opportunity for this to happen - if Arabs and Israelis respectively decide to replace mediocre leaders and failed policies with something more serious, dignified and effective.

Sergeant Jimmie Moore was killed in an automobile accident while on patrol.
Sergeant Moore was on patrol when the right front tire on his patrol car blew out, causing him to loose control of the vehicle. The patrol car broadsided a concrete road divider near the intersection of Howey Road and Highway 27. Sergeant Moore was pinned inside the car, and it took over an hour to remove him from the vehicle.
Sergeant Moore was removed to Walker Memorial Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
