text: Hi there, guys! I thought a good way to use my first post is to show you all my new identity, to put across print, web, video and other mediums. Just a little background first - I'm a freelance designer working as part of the Interactivists freelance collective in Bournemouth on the south coast. I love to create simple, elegant logos and branding materials, and also dabble in web design and live events. This logo has turned out to be the hardest thing I've ever done as I'm never happy with what I've got and always want to try something new, but I feel now that I've created something unique and personal which stands out. Here are a few shots of the logo including possible uses of colour and, putting it into context, the use of the logo on my in-development website so you can see where it's all going. Please give me any feedback at all. Love to hear what you all think of the identity! examples with colour example in context with the website Thanks!!

WP 3.6 Custom upload folder in plugin
I'm writing a plugin for property listings. A property can have x number of images attached to it and I'm using the new media uploader to upload these images. However, it seems impossible to organize the media in the latest version.
I would like to save my images to different folders, i.e.
…on the page where the images are added, I have to set the OBJECT NO in a var or something. I've managed to change the upload dir, but the setting is not passed to the async-upload.php script.
I have spent the last 5 hrs to search for a solution on this, but haven't found any. It would be very bad to have to go back to an earlier version of WP, where I know this was possible. Could someone help me out on this, please?

After last season's tantalising cliffhanger finale, the anticipation for Season 7 of The Walking Dead is even higher than ever. Just who did Negan kill? Hopefully by next week we will finally have an answer. Watch the exclusive promotional trailer below:
Now the title and runtime length for episode 2 has been revealed via an AMC graphic, confirming rumours that it will be called "The Well". What we didn't know till now is that it will be an extended 76 minutes long. Check out the graphic below:
- The Ultimate 'The Walking Dead' Season 7 Guide: News, Trailers, Premiere Date & All You Need To Know
The brief synopsis posted by AMC writes:
"For a number of familiar faces, a new, well-established community seems too good to be true."
This is probably a reference to King Ezeikiel's The Kingdom, a place yet to be explored in the series. Hopefully the extended runtime will be used to truly give us a feel for what it is like there, and expand the ever-growing world of The Walking Dead.
You can read about it here:
The Kingdom: Everything We Know About The Newest Community On 'The Walking Dead'
For now, you can watch the premiere this Sunday at 9pm ET.
Are You Excited For The New Season Of 'The Walking Dead'?

Cities Move to Protect Civil Liberties
December 23, 2002
A number of U.S. cities are in effect saying to the federal government: don't let anti-terrorism programs jeopardize the civil liberties of our citizens.
- Nearly two dozen cities have passed resolutions to that effect.
- While the resolutions are largely symbolic, they are evidence of genuine citizen concerns and efforts to pass similar measures are underway in more than 60 other places.
- Many communities are getting help in their efforts from the American Civil Liberties Union and the Bill of Rights Defense Committee, a group located in Florence, Mass.
- Supporters of the resolutions say the measures have grown out of a belief that the Patriot Act of 2001, the Homeland Security Act passed this year and a series of executive orders have given the federal government too much muscle in its war against terrorism at the expense of average Americans, especially Muslims.
While most of the resolutions carry little legal weight, some have a sharp tone. Amherst, Mass., went so far as to direct city personnel not to help federal and state officials in activities that could be considered in violation of civil rights or liberties.
Police officials in some towns warn the language in local resolutions could put them in the untenable position of refusing federal requests for cooperation in investigations or face possible arrest.

Heart on My Sleeve
- (Deluxe Edition)
- Artist: Mary Lambert
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 10/14/2014
|your cart is empty
Deluxe edition includes three bonus tracks. 2014 album from the singer/songwriter best known for composing and singing the hook on Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' marriage equality anthem 'Same Love'. HEART ON MY SLEEVE is an honest depiction of where Lambert is now. 'I can only write about the experiences I've had. I signed to a major label. I went through a break-up. I figured out how to be an independent person. I have been terrifyingly honest to the public about traumatic events in my life. I met the woman of my dreams. I have been on the road nonstop, away from those I love, but with the opportunity to sing about gay rights to hundreds of thousands of people. This album is inspired by the depth of all of that love, and the journey that it takes to get there.'

The U.S is not sufficiently vetting the sale of weapons to the repressive government of Egypt, and doesn't know enough about how those weapons are being used – including night vision goggles and riot control weapons.
According to a new report by the Government Accountability Office, the State Department also fails to consistently conduct legally-required review of the Egyptian forces that are supplied and trained by the U.S.
The U.S. government has sent Egypt more than $6.4 billion in military aid since 2011, which has been used to purchase F-16 jets, Apache helicopters, tanks, explosives, and police equipment.
The U.S. government has bankrolled the Egyptian military for decades, propping up the rule of longtime dictator Hosni Mubarak. But the aid was widely criticized after 2013, when a military coup deposed Egypt's new democratically elected president, Mohammed Morsi. To skirt a law banning aid to coup regimes, the State Department has refused to call what happened a "coup."

Nowadays there are a lot of finishing materials for the ceiling.In this article, we want to tell you about one of them.It
aluminum cassette ceilings, it only recently entered the market sales, but has gained considerable popularity.But not all owners can arrange it.
It has its advantages and disadvantages.Here you can view photos and videos on the topic and then determine exactly how much it will suit you.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages can be directly attributed and mineral quality designs that speak for themselves:
- You can easily close all the irregularities of the ceiling and hide the pipe.This is especially practical for old buildings;
- When installing the system you will have free access to the ventilation and wiring.It is also important, especially when breakdowns;
- You can not worry about finishing the reference plane, which nothing can stop;
- Compared to other ceilings, aluminum ceiling cassette is quite easy to maintain .You can just do wet cleaning, avoiding abrasive cleaners;
- This design is fairly easy to install and with their hands (sm.Kassetnye ceilings - installation of their own hands).Thus it is possible to dismantle.
Also in case of damage, can easily make any replacement of the element;
- Ability to use virtually any lighting;
- This design reflects light and therefore can visually increase the room;
- With this coating finishing you will not be afraid of corrosion and moisture.Water resistance allows it to be installed even in a room with high humidity;
- material price is not too high.These ceilings can afford almost any person;
- This material is fireproof.
system also has its drawbacks:
- Cassette aluminum ceilings but not so expensive, but the ceiling plasterboard will be cheaper;
- During installation, you take away the free space of the room.Above that you should consider.
If the room low ceiling, so your equipment is unlikely to fit.
This system is perfect for rooms with forced ventilation.It promotes the free movement of air.
especially recommended to use in the following areas:
- In areas where high humidity and no permanent heating;
- In areas where there are higher health standards, hospitals, public places;
- In areas where there are increased requirements for ventilation.
Installation coffered ceiling
Cassette aluminum ceiling can be installed independently (sm.Kassetnye ceiling installation is done on their own), and lower than the cost of the work.Only when performing the installation should do everything step by step and right.
There are many factors that can affect the final result.That is why, and will be given instructions for the implementation of this work.
for continuous operation should prepare the necessary tools:
- Requires Meter is a tape measure and meter;
- Hammer;
- Nylon thread;
- hydraulic level, which is in retail.Or you can do it yourself;
- pliers;
- Scissors on metal or Bulgarian with a circle;
- Lesko.
As you can see, the list is not so great.Such tools have virtually any host.
Do markup
It's pretty important stage of work, which will determine the appearance and location of the assembly.If not done correctly, the entire configuration is broken plane.So
- To begin to make a general plan of the premises;
Note: In preparing the plan should take into account the size of the panels.
Especially pay attention to the fact that the extreme elements must be the same length.That is the location of the parts should be symmetrically life.
- now determines the level of the ceiling installation.To do this, find the lowest corner of the room put a mark.
then added value hangers and fasteners.Stamp.This will be the level of placing the entire structure;
- Now this size, we need to move to the other wall.To do this, we use a hydraulic level.
That he will do the job most accurately;
- We transfer size, and now we have to connect the data points.To do this, use nylon thread.
With the help repel the line around the perimeter of which you will mount.
In this work you can not go wrong.It is right to do measurements and cutting parts.
Remember not properly done, it has to change anything will be possible.
- Now we need to attach the trim moldings.For a start it cropped to the size you want.
If the wall is made of wood, then you can make a mounting with screws .If the surface of concrete or brick.Then
to apply puncher.A fixation performed using dowels.
Warning: When attaching the Not applicable Not kits dowels.Get them separately.
Take them pacifiers and screws that should take less than a couple of mm from the orifice.It is this ratio provides a reliable connection.
- compounds do at a distance of 40 cm from each other;
- now makes attaching hangers.Typically one element compound is 3-4;
- Mounting is performed using anchors with a minimum diameter of 13 mm.Just install the hangers at the locations of light fixtures and fans.
Make wiring for lighting
For this to work we need to choose the point of placing the elements and make a mark on the ceiling:
- Then find the point of connection and fasten the wiring junction box;
- then do channels and makes attaching the cable.
Note: When making connections, avoid twists.Use terminals which provide reliable connection.
- When buying a cable note how much power he will survive. Provide gap upwards.Requires power supply.
installation guide
For this to work it is necessary to make appropriate arrangements and do the job properly:
- cut end of the guide, do it in the following way, we need to face the intermediate rail couldfree to enter into the groove of the main guide.The distance is determined from the length at the plate.
cut the edge of the main guide should be based on the trim area;
- When connecting the main guide to apply additional suspension.Dangle basic guide, and should pay attention to the dock, it must be carried out strictly at right angles;
- make adjustments in height by means of quick clamping clip;
- now perform intermediate mounting rails.We put them among the major carriers.
interval should correspond to the width of the element. Make pruning to one edge lying on the near-wall baseboard and the second was inserted in the main guide.
Mounting plates
After the previous works are equipped with ceiling slabs aluminum tape:
- Assembly begin to perform from the middle of the room.In the first laid all plates are integers.
- then makes cutting other items that will fit on the edge of the walls.Set them too.
If the plate is not completely adjacent to the near-wall baseboard, then it should be cut in the desired configuration tool.
- Do not forget to handle the edges of plates where done trimming.Cut away the burrs, they should not be visible.
Cassette ceiling gated
ceiling cassette can be open or closed.In the second embodiment, there are some features of the installation.So
- Profile When buying pay attention to him.For closed-end configuration is slightly different.There
mounting hole should be located on the bottom shelf of the profile.These are inserted into the panel and its edge;
- the bracket profile is parallel to the wall, a step should be equal to the width of the panel.
Ultimately frame is a parallel arranged sections.These and makes attaching panels, the edges of which are bent at an angle of 90 *.
edges of the plate snap in the profile.Thus the panels can move freely along its length.
Now you have the concept and be able themselves to establish such a system, and open and closed.The most important thing is not to rush and do everything carefully.

With the widespread use of credit cards the problem of stolen or misused credit cards becomes more serious. Furthermore, the problem of unauthorized persons having access to locked rooms or systems through picking or otherwise bypassing locks becomes more serious. Still another problem associated with ordinary locking systems is that once there is danger of an authorized person having a key to a secured area, for example, if someone loses a key or an employee having a key no longer becomes associated with the firm, mechanical locks must be changed. This changing is both costly and time consuming. And the authorized personnel must each receive a new key each time a lock is changed.
Accordingly, it is an important object of this invention to provide a secure key system.
It is a further object of the invention to achieve the preceding object with an ordinary looking key that causes unlocking only when a central control unit determines that the key seeking the unlocking bears a proper code, a code which may be readily changed It is a further object of the invention to achieve one or more of the preceding objects with an ordinary looking key that identifies the key holder as entitled to credit.
It is a further object of the invention to achieve one or more of the preceding objects with apparatus that is relatively inex pensive when considered as a whole and reliable in operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the invention, encoding means, such as an ordinary looking key, is inserted into transmitting means that provides a signal, such as audio tone pairs, representative of the code carried by the encoding means. Receiving means accepts the encoding means and provides appropriate identification or nonidentification signals. If the encoded signal is acceptable, the transmitted signal may cause a mechanism to unlock, such as unlocking a door or enabling an ignition system of an automobile. Alternately, it may transmit a signal back to the transmitting means signifying that the key identifies an individual with acceptable credit. If the receiving means identifies the encoding signal as unacceptable, it will refuse to unlock a lock or identify the key as associated with one who has no or limited credit. Alternately, the receiving means'could transmit a signal that sounds an alarm or identifies the key as being stolen.
Numerous other features, objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following specification when read in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:

FIG. 8 is a combined block-schematic circuit-pictorial diagram of an encoding system according to the invention for providing encoded data in the form of tone signals.
1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With reference now to the drawing and more particularly FIG. Ithereof, there is shown a block diagram illustrating the logical arrangement of a system according tow the invention. A type of ordinary key 11 is inserted into an encoding transmitter 12 that provides a signal on transmission means 13 representative of the code carried by key 11. This code is decoded by decoding receiver and answering means 14 to provide a response that either does or does not operate actuator 15, depending upon the relationship of the signal decoded to predetermined conditions. For example, if decoder receiver and answering means 14 is set to recognize a particular code and cause the unlocking ofa door, sensing that particular code causes actuator 15 to unlock the door. Decoding receiver and answering means 14 may respond to a number of predetermined codes to effect actuation, and these codes may be selectively changed at any time.
A feature of the invention is that it may decode remotely, accept all keys, the decoding combination may be rapidly changed and accept virtually any number of codes and is especially convenient for use with electronic or computer control. In contrast, a conventional key is decoded by the lock at the point of insertion, normally accepts only a preselected group of keys, has but a single combination or limited set of combinations that is difficult to change and normally relies on mechanical implementation to effect unlocking.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a block diagram illustrating the logical arrangement of a system for encoding the code carried by the key in a form that is especially useful for use with ordinarytelephone lines. The encoder 21 includes a slot 22 that accepts any key code ofa selected key type. Typically encoder 21 provides tone pairs, an X tone and. a Y tone. Preferably there are four X tones and four Y tones with a pair comprising one X tone and one Y tone so that the tone pair identifies one of-l6 possible code bits and is compatible with the touch tone telephone system. This 4X4 matrix encoding is represented by the matrix encoder 23 that provides the selection of tone pairs over communication means 13 tomodem 24 and then decoding receiver and answering means 14 that appropriately controls actuator 15. Typically inserting the key in slot 22 closes appropriate relays in matrix encoder and tone generator 23 that select the appropriate tone pairs for transmission.
Referring to FIG. 3, there is shown a block diagram illustrating the logical arrangement of a suitable credit card checking system according to theinvention. There may be an encoder '21 at each location where credit is desired to be checked feeding an associated-modem 23 that is connected to a corresponding modem24 at the central location over ordinary telephone lines or other public communications channels 25. A. combining means 26, which may include multiplexing meansfor sampling the outputs of modems 24 and coupling them in sequence to an adapter 27 may function to present the .data on the different lines to data processing .means 31, preferably in digital form. The data processing means 31 may modems 23 and provide an indication of the credit status of the individual associated with the inserted key. For example, the interrogating local station might include three lights, one of which is actuated. Illumination of a green light indicates a specifically good credit check; amber, not more than a predetermined amount; and red that credit should not be extended and probably that appropriate authorities should be immediately alerted. The central location may also include similar indicating means.
The data processing means 31 and memory means 32 may comprise a general digital processing system having both a drum and core memory. The core memory may function as executive or director, carrying sets of criteria for key recognition and associated action. A high-speed tape reader and punch may be utilized for entering and receiving information for permanent inventory. The system could be used to check credit in that the bad credit risks might be stored on the drum, and the key code would be compared to these bad risks. Specific central systems are known in the art and are not described here to avoid obscuring the principles of this invention.
An especially suitable transmission medium is the telephone system adapted to carry the touch-tone frequencies used by the telephone company. There are eight frequencies available arranged in a 4X4 matrix to facilitate encoding one out of 16 discrete values as a combination of two frequencies. To avoid tolerance problems in determining pin heights of a lock cylinder having pins displaced in accordance with the configuration of peaks and valleys in a conventional key, it has been found to be advantageous to decode the pin height into four levels whereby contiguous pairs of pins would select the frequency pairs so that two successive pin heights could be transmitted as a two frequency signal in accordance with already acceptable telephone company standards.
Although more pin pairs and more discernible pin height would provide many possible combinations, a special key that looks different from the average key may be required. The different appearance of such a key might compromise the security of the system, a feature of the invention being that the coded key looks like any other key. This possible problem posed by this implementation may be overcome by using two common keys with six pins each, thereby providing 2 combinations if the keys are inserted in proper sequence.
Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a means for scanning the code carried by the key 11. A stationary cylinder guide 41 carries a moving cylinder 42 that is urged rearward against spring 43 inside dash pot 44 when key 11 is inserted. Spring 43 then urges moving cylinder 42 back along key 11 to scan its projections and depressions in sequence. FIG. shows an embodiment ofthe invention in which key 11 carries small imbedded magnets, such as 45, 46, 47 and 48 for actuating respective ones of magnetic reed switches 50 when key 11 is fully inserted. Respective ones of the reed switches 50 may sequentially activate tone oscillators to transmit the desired signal sequence. This approach is especially economical when keys are produced in quantities of l0,000 and over.
Referring to FIG. 6, there is shown a photoelectromechanical arrangement for decoding the key. Key 11 is shown inside moving cylinder block 42. Moving cylinder block 42 is shown with four spring-loaded pins 51, 52, 53 and 54 having respective caps 55, 56, 57 and 58 formed with openings for transmitting light to an associated photoelectric transducer through a respective one of four fiber optical filaments in respective ones of plane 61, 62, 63 and 64. The position of the associated opening allows light to be transmitted to one and only one of four associated photoelectric transducers. Thus, pins 51 and 52 denote the tone pair X and Y while pins 53 and 54 denote the respective tone pairs X and Y Instead of photoelectric transducers in the planes 61, 62, 63 and 64, there could be a set of four magnetic reed switches in each of these planes, and the caps 55, 56, 57 and 58 could be small permanent magnets that would close one, and only one, of the four reed switches in a respective plane to provide the appropriate encoding signals.
Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown a diagrammatic representation of a suitable means for photoelectrically sensing the positions of the four pins. Fiber bundle 65, 66, 67 and 68 carry light distributed by plastic block 71 of lucite or other suitable material from light source 72 to caps 55, 56, 57 and 58, respectively, of pins 51, 52, 53 and 54. The column of photocells in plane 64 are energized in the sequence of pins 51, 52, 53 and 54 as moving cylinder block 42 is returned forward. In the specific configuration shown in FIG. 7, first photocell 71 would be energized, then photocell 72, then photocell 73, then photocell 74. Thus, the specific code carried by the key producing the pin displacement of FIG. 7 is X Y and X Y Numerous other techniques may be used to encode the key configuration, such as differential transformers, photosensitive devices, resistive elements, sliding contacts and the like.
For example, the key lands could mechanically position a number of lock pins with each lock pin having an opening that is in line with the other openings only when the key with acceptable code is inserted. By locating the pins between a light source and photocell along such line, the photocell is energized to signify acceptance only when all the lock pin openings are in line.
Referring to FIG. 8, there is shown a combined pictorial block-schematic circuit diagram of an exemplary encoding means according to the invention. Inserting key 11 into moving cylinder 42 causes the arm 81 of tip limit switch S1 and 82 of bottom limit switch S2 to move to the right and energize scan motor 83, illuminate scan lamp 84 and operate power relay K1 85 to close normally open contact 86 and keep power on until the scan is completed while opening normally closed contacts 87 to provide a reset signal on line 88 as contacts 91 of bottom limit switch S2 are closed. Flip-flops 92 and 93 are thereby cleared. Scan motor 83 then causes moving cylinder 42 to move to the left from the position 42 back to position 42 so that the photoelectric transistors scan the four pin positions in sequence.
When a key is inserted, its four key lands raise four corresponding pins to one of the four levels. In a key having eight key lands, eight corresponding pins may be raised to one of four levels so that two of the eight pins will be positioned at the same level. Then the whole assembly is scan-driven past the vertical stack of four optical targets, the phototransistors 71, 72, 73 and 74. The system of FIG. 8 has means for monitoring eight rods serially and storing the monitored signal in the A register 93 and the B register 94, each of these registers capable of storing four bits.
Phototransistors 71, 72, 73 and 74 may typically be Fairchild FPT I00 phototransistors followed by a 7,400N amplifier 95. The latter is an integrated circuit having photocell amplifiers thereon. The outputs of the photocell amplifiers 95 are OR-gated in the strobe gate 96 to trigger a strobe flip-flop 97 and a one-shot circuit 98, which indirectly gates strobes A and B to the A storage register 93 and B storage register 94. In addition, the one-shot output triggers flip-flops 92 and 93 for oscillator turn on control executed by amplifier 101 and relay 102. The outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 from the photocell amplifiers 95 are connected to the A storage register 93 and B storage register 94 in pairs with lines 1-4 going to the cells designated 1-4 appended to an appropriate A or B. Although one data bit is simultaneously presented to both registers, only one is loaded because strobes and B are mutually exclusive. Thus, four photocell outputs are stored in eight register flip-flops.
The eight data bits control eight relay closures of relays and relay drivers 104. The relay closure grouping conforms to the AT&T data set specifications, with a separate common for group A and B.

text: OK, let's see who's down with some classic 80s metal: Queensryche! I picked up Empire yesterday, which I've heard a million times but didn't actually own. Since I'm listening to them now and have nothing to do at work, I felt like starting a thread for them, so nyeh Operation Mindcrime and Empire totally kick ass. I really don't like any of their other albums. They have some good stuff scattered throughout, which is why I have the Greatest Hits CD. Their earlier stuff is a little too 80s cock-rock for me, and their later stuff is shaky at best. Hear in the Now Frontier was appalling, and now that the guitarist left, I don't see much of a future for them. But they sure did put on a good show when I saw them live last summer. Mindcrime and Empire are the happy middle where they got it right. Geoff Tate easily has one of the best voices in rock ever, possibly the greatest in metal of all time.

Letter 1
Hello!!! My name is Eugenia. I have placed the announcement on a site of acquaintances because I want to find second half for creation of serious attitudes. I have decided to choose you after very long search. You sympathize with me and consequently I have decided to write to you. I write to you from the girlfriend and consequently my letter will be short. To me of 29 years. I am young but I have enough experience to make the man happy and to create a cosiness and comfort in the house. I never was for the husband and I think that now there has come time to find the happiness. I have chosen you as I was interested with your questionnaire. I think that the true love will come in due course both the most important this understanding and trust. I hope that you will answer me and I at once shall write to you the big letter on and I shall send the photos. Please write on my address of e-mail as I have no constant access on a site. My address of e-mail: email@example.com reitana(at)rambler(dot)ru
Letter 2
Greetings the favourite person Tom! I am very glad road that I receive your fine letters every day and as I can answer you them lovely it does me by very happy woman. I with the big impatience waited for today's your expensive letter with the big impatience favourite my person. Today I as well as spoke you that there will be to travel agency I was there and learned new about your remarkable country really much and it very much pleased me that people which work in this travel agency very well spoke about your country. I have come to travel agency in the middle of day and started conversation from the girl which she works in this travel agency really very much helped me with a choice and spoke that that all documents will be made out for 12-14 days it very well I have told to it lovely. It is really fast. But there is a problem for me in cost of trip really when she has told cost of trip I has really understood that I can not pay this sum of money for travel. To me have told that all documents and tickets will cost 700 dollars and plus trip from Kazan up to Moscow as will cost money as my plane will take off from the city of Moscow as in my city there is no airport and I will need to go to Moscow and already only from there to fly by the plane to you lovely. Trip from Kazan up to Moscow and a hotel accommodation to cost 145 Dollars in the sum for trip to me it will be necessary 845 Dollars at me there is no such big money and I do not know where I could take them. But I very much would like to arrive to you lovely and to be with you road my hope I do not die about our meeting really it I wants to be with you lovely beside would be very fine. I do not know road but probably you can help me road with this problem. Loved I say goodbye to you up to tomorrow and with impatience I wait for your letters fine. Up to tomorrow favourite 1000 kisses for you.
Yours Eugenia!
Letter 3
Hi favourite person Tom. Today with me there was a bad situation and to me really now it is bad a little. I am really very much afflicted with that that has taken place with me today lovely. And I would like to tell to you about it lovely. I hope that you will understand me favourite my person. Today I have risen early in the morning me have woken a sunlight which shined in my window. I have woken up from a solar beam and at once have recollected you lovely my person. I as have decided at once that to me is soon necessary to go in travel agency as they caused me. I would go on kitchen what to weld to itself coffee since morning and have noticed in a bath a lot of dirty clothes. I have decided to wash her what then pure already to put in suitcases. An apartment in which I live remove its and many thing in this apartment not my same the washing machine in is also which I erase things. And this washing machine very old and rusty but before she very well erased I has put linen in the washing machine and has decided while the linen is erased that I shall have time to descend up to travel agency lovely. I have gathered have put on have washed have closed doors of the apartment and have gone having left houses to erase linen. I have left on street has decided to go on foot to travel agency and to enjoy autumn warm shall put I went very for a long time. When I have approached to travel agency I have noticed that they are closed on a lunch break and I have decided to go to the house what to switch off the washing machine and to hang up to dry linen. While I would go up to a house and back travel agency just would open also I could come there during time. Also there was I home. Having come home and having opened doors I have felt that in an apartment a lot of water. I have come in an apartment has really seen on a floor huge quantity of water. I not at once understood that has taken place with my apartment and why here so a lot of water loved. I have gone further and have seen in kitchen that my washing machine has broken also water flows directly on a floor and all fills in water loved it I was very bad only that minute has realized that happened and that neighbours from below as have suffered very strongly. Here neighbours with a bottom to which at once have come running as water on a ceiling has got and has leaked on a wall lovely has come as the mistress of my apartment loved it was very bad they have started to shout at me that I have very irresponsibly considered all that on my fault all this happened. I really realize that I am guilty in it my mood very bad of for that that it has taken place loved. The mistress of my apartment and neighbours together would cause the appraiser that it has counted as him losses and cost of repair loved. I went down to neighbours in an apartment and saw really as in their apartment the present nightmare from for a plenty of water wall-paper have come unstuck all ceiling and wall-paper were not clearly what color and is valid on a floor as was a lot of water. In my apartment as from for it the horror was created simply. Victims have presented me cost of repair of apartments. What to repair both apartments the sum 2135 Dollars is necessary as really all building materials at my neighbours in an apartment were very expensive and they would want that in their apartment all began as was loved. To me it became valid from all it very bad and I do not know that to me to do now and where to search for such money I at all I do not know for me it is simply huge sum. Especially all this has taken place during such time that when we want to be with you together loved. I need to give money before I shall go to you as they cannot live in such bad apartment all time. And my mistress as needs to give all very quickly as I very much would not like to give this apartment to whom that to another. I would would like that while I shall be at you she would make repair in an apartment that when I shall come from you I could as again to lodge in the same apartment. Loved as soon as this madness has passed all these words of neighbours and mistresses. I did not know what to do and really listened to all that they spoke me. I have decided to go to the Internet of cafe and to write to you about it. The favourite both dear person I and the truth do not know that to me now to do as to be. I love you and I wait for your letter. Now to me cleaning in an apartment is necessary me at all would be desirable to carry out night of one in this vile apartment in which so badly smells and is very wet. Loved I ask your help as not who will not help me more more. I would not know loved that else I could write to you but to me really it is very bad now and tears do not cease lovely. I shall wait for your letter favourite my person. Up to tomorrow road.
1000 kisses for you lovely mine.

The capture rate is amazing, and the quality is perfect. It has a built in microphone, and you can adjust the focus [No, not all Webcams can]. If you want to do it, I recommend this website for a tutorial. So, have any of you lot done it? Or plan on doing it?

They are 18x8.5 Sportechs w/ Sumi's
Very nice.... Looks sweet! BUt what the hell where you thinking when you bought green ??
That I didn't want my S4 to look like everyone else's
Sweet but....why an Avant?
is that the stock suspension?
the hell. a station wagon? err.. a GREEN station wagon??
Sick looking car man. Love the color, that's bad ass.
Have you thought about tinting the windows? Dark tint would look great with that paint color.
I will get around to it one of these days. I don't have time to leave my car to be tinted for the day.
awesome man....simply awesome
sweet ride
avant =
i love those wheels
Are those the same ones that Laser Red has? In any case, they look beautiful. I love the stance, and the colour. Nice choice
If Laser Red has Sportec's....then Yes
Here are some more recent pics with a 5.1 Megapixel....The last one is before I put in the Euro headlight housings.
yep, I have the same wheels, but in the high gloss variety.
very nice

Fitting an extendable tongue to your trailer can increase its versatility, particularly if you occasionally require transporting long lengths of material (building materials, pipes, joinery, etc..) or even if you want to throw a kayak onto the trailer. Extendable tongues are great for boat trailers launching and retrieving in shallow water.
For the majority of the time an extendable tongue would be at its normal retracted length and only extended when required. In doing so, helps keep any rear overhang within your states legal limits, and assists in keeping weight forward of the axle(s) to prevent trailer instability.
Rear overhang is the measurement from the axle center (or on a tandem/dual axle, the halfway point between the axles) to the end of your load.
Extendable tongues are normally built using SHS (Square Hollow Section) sliding within another SHS section. For example, a 3" x 3" x 1/4" section sliding within a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 3/16" support section. If using SHS for the support section, the internal seam weld will need to be filed or ground down to allow smooth motion of the sliding section. Clearance is required to prevent jamming of the tongue and this can make the tongue a bit noisy when transporting an empty trailer. A bounding strap should be added to the leading edge of the support section to give additional strength. (see photo)
Locking pins need to be as large a diameter as possible (5/8" minimum) and ideally with a high tensile strength. More than one locking pin is preferred and there should be a way of securing them to prevent them coming loose and dropping out. Locking pins should be snug within the hole in the slider and support section to prevent the holes from flogging out (stretching) and the pins from wearing or deforming.
If the extension is constantly in use, it is wise to replace the sliding section and locking pins on a regular basis as the additional stresses placed on the sliding section can have the potential to cause material fatigue and cracking and lead to early failure of the tongue.
The use of extendable tongues do have their limitations and care needs to be taken when using them fully extended. When fully extended, the load carrying capacity of the trailer is reduced due to the increased flex of the sliding section. You can expect to lose at least half of your load rating at full extension.
Electrical cable length needs to be increased to allow the trailer to be plugged into the tow vehicle when the tongue is fully extended. Facility for this extra cable to be tidily coiled up and secured when the tongue is retracted is needed to prevent damage to the cable and to stop it dragging on the ground. It is possible to fit the cable through the middle of the sliding section and have a spring loaded pulley arm or re-coiler (think garden hose auto re-coiler reel) under the deck to keep the cable away from potential damage. Otherwise a couple of opposing hooks on the fixed part of the tongue for winding the cable around will do the job nicely.
Hydraulic surge brake couplers can be used on extendable tongues, but a flexible brake hose is required between the coupling and the fixed tongue section. The hose needs to be professionally sourced and should be made with a covering of stainless steel braiding to give additional protection to the hose. Retaining the flexible hose, when the tongue is retracted is a bit more difficult than the cable, and care needs to be taken coiling the loose hose to prevent the hose from being kinked or damaged when securing to the trailer.
On an "A" frame tongue of 4' to 5' long, it is not uncommon to have an extendable tongue section that can take the overall tongue length out to 8' or longer depending on the material used. Any further than 8' overall length and some professional engineering advice should be taken to ensure the strength of the tongue is not compromised. And always remember to reduce the load on the trailer by at least half when using an extended tongue.
To determine your required length for either a longer fixed length tongue or extendable tongue, measure the longest length material/item you need to carry and subtract your deck length from this. Divide what is left over, in half and add at least 12" to give clearance between the load and tow vehicle, to get your extended length.
For example – if you have a kayak measuring 20 feet and a deck length of 8 feet – 20 minus 8 = 12 feet divided in half =6 feet plus 12" = 7 feet.
Note that the additional 12" is only suitable if the load is relatively narrow and sits centrally in the trailer to give suitable tow vehicle/load clearance when turning. If the load is wider than 1/3 of the trailer deck width at the front end of the trailer, you will need to increase this measurement to suit.
As with all loads, the balance should be slightly forward of the axle to ensure good trailer stability and to prevent trailer sway.

This is not a review. This is a rant. I was to review the Sanam Saeed, Mohib Mirza-starrer Bachaana. I wish I might do that. After looking the film, the only factor i'm left reviewing is that the call to stay around and be predictably underwhelmed by it.
Bachaana is the latest within the long line of Pakistani films to suffer from what seems to be the Achilles' heel of the country's film industry: zero understanding of plot and storytelling. While detractors of critics like ME would bring up the industry's infancy, the lack of cash and resources to justify a movie like this, one must realise that none of these will excuse this compulsion to write down and manufacture such atrocious scripts.
Indeed there have been, and still are, infinitely better writers in Asian country. Forget movies and television serials, better content than this is being churned out by Pakistanis for YouTube and Facebook. This should once and for all settle such arguments.
You can rent somebody like Scorcese and pump in billions of bucks, not even rupees, into a movie, but it is merely unacceptable to form even a passable flick out of a foul script. There is an inspiration in creating by mental acts called rule, Garbage in, garbage out. To expect a movie based mostly on a foul script to be smart is to expect trash to style delicious and not kill you.
6 reasons 'Bachaana' ought to be on your must-watch list
Before we move any, here's a brief verify the plot. Those who still want looking the pic while not USA spoiling it (although I fail to envision how) have to be compelled to look currently.
Vicky (Mohib Mirza) is a Pakistani taxi driver in Mauritius who bumps into Alia (Sanam Saeed), a Muslim Indian, at the airport and agrees to drive her and her husband Jehangir or J (Adeel Hashmi) to their building. Little will Alia apprehend at this purpose that her husband, who in her own words she wed less than twenty four hours agone, is not who he says he's.
Not too long after they reach the building, Jehangir leaves with some underworld goons, leaving Alia overwrought. When she calls him, he tells her to pack her bag and go to the airport to fly away to African country, their eventual planned destination, alone.
At the airport, another taxi driver switches Alia's bag with one that's loaded with drugs. When Alia finds out, she naturally panics and returns to the hotel, this time with Vicky. Upon return, she discovers that Jehangir has checked out, leaving no trace behind.
'Bachaana' makes its way to Asian nation
So begins Alia and Vicky's journey along, first to look for Jehangir United Nations agency seems to be a Mauritian drug baron United Nations agency masterminded the whole arrange she is caught in, and then to run off from him. Naturally, Vicky and Alia fall in love along the manner.
If all this sounds not so unhealthy currently, do not, I repeat, do not get your hopes up. From the first scene all the way down to the last, the script and dialogue are totally forced. Things happen without rhyme or reason, very plain to simply progress from one plot purpose to the opposite while not regard for seamless narrative. And amidst all this, one-liners, quips and indeed the romance square measure crammed in, just as a result of why not.
The result is absolutely senseless and cringeworthy. The entire experience leaves you affronted. Is this purported to be entertainment, one asks. Do those involved honestly realize this entertaining? Or is it a mistaken, demeaning belief that this is what the 'masses' extremely want?
The entire project seems to bank on star presence to avoid wasting it. But the lacklustre script provides zero opportunities for them to shine; that is a shame as a result of Mirza, Saeed and Hashmi have all been known to do such a lot higher. I refrain from commenting on the acting because there is no acting to be done once it involves a script like this. The characters have the depth and complexity of paper cut-outs.
'Bachaana' likely to unleash in February 2016
What is also a shame is that the topic matter — young ladies being unknowingly lured in to figure as drug mules — might are explored such a lot higher. To any decent film writer, it would provide ample opportunities to flesh out an upscale narrative. In Bachaana's case, all such opportunities have been thrown away.
At places it seems the whole pic was simply associate degree excuse for everybody concerned to require a vacation to Mauritius. Sadly, viewers will be unable to totally appreciate the sights of the island nation further owing to some exceptionally shoddy tricks. Much of the film seems to be out of focus, a cardinal sin of cinematography. The decision to deem hand-held shots in a lot of of the chase sequences additionally makes one surprise why a minor fraction of the film's budget wasn't wont to lend a Steadicam.
The cinematographic low point of the film has to be the night-time scenes, which square measure under-lit to the purpose that it becomes terribly exhausting to stay track of what's occurring.
VERDICT: Watch the film only if you have got a misplaced passion for revitalizing Pakistan's movie industry. Sorry to say but Bachaana doesn't have one redeeming side thereto

Tooth Profiles
Non-involute profile
The Ikona tooth form is a non-involute profile. The gear mesh consists of an external and internal tooth pair that are unique for each design. They are specifically matched to provide maximum performance in the smallest size possible.
There is no contact at Top Dead Centre (see diagram) in the Ikona Gear Technology. Instead, there is symmetrical contact on either side of the line of centers.
This makes the Ikona Tooth Profile a natural candidate for any low backlash application. With conventional involute gearing, the closer a gear mesh gets to zero backlash, the more chance that even the slightest tolerance errors will cause gear jamming due to contact on both sides of the gear tooth.
With the Ikona Tooth Form, even at zero backlash, there is still ample clearance on the non-meshing side of the tooth.
The contact path of an Ikona Gear pair is not a straight line. Instead it is a smooth curve, specifically designed for low sliding velocities and high efficiencies. Watch the motion in the animation to the right.

15 Ways The Body Signals The Baby Is Ready To Come Out
- In: Did You Know...
Starting a few weeks leading up to birth, right up until it's time to push, the female body and the tiny human inside provide many clues that they're preparing for the new little one's arrival. There's a natural progression that the body automatically takes to get the body and the baby ready for the big day.
Not every woman experiences every one of these signs, but she will typically experience several subtle and not-so-subtle indicators that the body is preparing for baby eviction.
Even if a woman does experience these signs, there's still no knowing exactly when her little one will make an appearance. A mucous plug could detach and labor could still be a week away. Braxton Hicks contractions might start well in advance of labor, but they might also mask when real contractions start.
Only a few of these signals indicate impending labor, and a few pass the point of no return, such as the water breaking.
There's no telling what order any of the signs leading up to labor will happen in either. However, once a woman has reached the part where her water breaks, she's having real contractions and she feels a bearing down sensation, she's obviously in full-on "this baby is coming now" mode. However, the water could break before or after active labor. There is no standard for labor progression.
Even though these signs of labor are unpredictable, here are some of the signs that the body uses to tell momma bear the baby bear is ready to come out:
15 Sudden Overwhelming Urge To Nest
Your last trimester is typically full of plans and little energy to carry them out. Your urge to nest might be so strong that you wonder who you've become, because you've certainly never worried so much about the cleanliness of every square inch of carpet in the house before.
You'll want to take advantage of this instinct while you can before baby arrives and leaves you depleted. It's best to recruit someone to help with more vigorous tasks or fume-inducing tasks like painting. Ask family members to build the crib, scrub the carpets and do any heavy lifting. It will be such a relief to have these things complete before your little one arrives.
Your urge to prepare your home for a newborn is primal. It even happens to animals! Like birds. Hence, the term "nesting." Anyhow, the urge is actually caused by an increase in the hormone estradiol and tends to peak in the weeks leading up to delivery.
14 The Movement Inside Slows Down
During the final two weeks of pregnancy, it's typical for your baby's movements to slow down. At this point, there really isn't much room for them to move around in. You'll still feel kicks and movement, but it won't be quite as acrobatic as the baby takes up more space. The movements will be more like slight adjustments, stretching, nudging and hiccups.
Your OBGYN will likely have you keep daily track of kick counts in the third trimester to make sure your baby is active. It's easy to get distracted, and between distractions and the reduced movement, it can be quite nerve-wracking when you don't notice the baby moving. So, make sure you take time each day to observe and relish in your little one's movements inside of you.
Just know that toward the end of pregnancy, the movements will be different and slowed.
13 Losing The Mucous Plug
When the little plug at the end of the uterus is dislodged, it is definitely a signal that your body is preparing for birth. The mucous plug, also called bloody show, looks like a gob of gooey snot and might even be tinged with blood. When the body's prostaglandin hormones start kicking in, your cervix begins ripening in preparation for birth.
The cervix will soften and shorten, which often loosens the mucous plug enough for it to be expelled. You may or may not even notice when it comes out.
The mucous plug is not necessarily a sign of imminent labor. You may still have several days left before labor will start. But bloody show could also be a sign that the early stages labor are approaching. It might be unnerving to try and discern whether or not it means anything, but the discharge will not tell you when it's go time.
You'll need a few more signs, such as contractions, along with the bloody show to possibly signal that labor is imminent.
12 Bloody Show
Bloody show is closely related to the mucous plug and the two often appear in unison. You might notice a tinge of blood in your mucous plug, on your panties, or on your toilet paper. The bloody show is the result of blood vessels in the cervix rupturing as it dilates and effaces. This is the only time during pregnancy where it's normal to see blood.
If you see blood any other time or if the blood becomes bright red and more pronounced, call your doctor.
Whereas the loss of the mucous plug isn't a very good predictor of imminent labor, bloody show is actually a better sign that labor is getting closer. Make sure you have your hospital bags packed and your doctor's number on speed dial, because you're getting close!
11 Beginning To Dilate
Dilation is the measure of the opening of your cervix. Your doctor will tell you how many centimeter you're dilated. Although 1 to 3 cm don't typically mean much in terms of when labor will happen, but they do mean that your body is making preparations for labor. Some women dilate slowly over the course of weeks while others will dilate overnight.
Your doctor might take a guess as to when you might be ready, but her guess is as good as anyone's.
Once dilation reaches over 3 cm and is accompanied by regular contractions, you've likely begun active labor. Once you hit 7 cm, you're considered to have entered the transitional phase, which can last several hours and brings on more intense contractions. Once you're dilated to 10 cm, it will be time to push! The progression of the cervix's dilation is pretty much out of your control. Your body will progress in its own time.
10 Effacement
The thinning of the cervix is referred to as effacement, and it's usually measured in a percentage. Your doctor will start checking you toward the end of your pregnancy and tell you whether you're anywhere from 0% to 100% effaced. At 100% effacement, your cervix has fully ripened, the skin around the cervix becomes paper-thin, and the cervix has shortened.
All of these factors will allow the baby to travel more easily from the cervix to the vaginal canal.
It may still be days before labor begins after effacement is complete, but it is still a sure sign that your body is making preparations for birth. It won't be long! It's amazing what your body knows to do all by itself.
9 No More Room
Your lungs feel like they are tiny little pockets inside your neck at this point and you might as well not have a bladder at all, it's so squished and responsive. Earlier in pregnancy, you probably wondered how the baby could possibly take up any more room in your body, but by 38 weeks, you're laughing at yourself for ever thinking that.
Every time you sneeze or burp, you feel like you might explode! And you're hungry, but after a few bites, your body tells you there's absolutely no more room left.
In the third trimester, the uterus gets so large that it really doesn't leave any room for much else. Your organs, including your stomach, are sort of squished and displaced, leaving little breathing or eating room. By the end of pregnancy, a woman of normal weight should have gained between 25-35 lbs.
At this point, there really isn't any more room for the baby and all that's left for it to do is come out!
8 The Baby Drops
Even if you don't notice it yourself, other people will point out to you if your baby has dropped. What's really happening is that your baby's head lowers into the pelvis, and it usually has a pretty noticeable effect on the shape of your belly. This process is also called "lightning," and for good reason.
You might notice that your breathing gets a little easier because the pressure on your lungs lets up. On the flip side, you might also need to make more frequent trips to the lady's room because now the pressure is on the bladder. The baby is engaged.
For first-time moms, baby will typically drop 2-4 weeks before delivery. For subsequent babies, the baby likely won't drop until labor begins. Because of this, lightning is not a very good indicator of "when" labor will begin, but it is a good indication that your body is in full preparation mode.
7 Pressure Down There
Pelvic pressure tends to coincide with lightning. Once the baby drops, you will probably feel added pressure in your groin. It only makes sense that the lower the baby drops in the pelvis, the more pressure you would feel. And the pressure is likely the worst when you're on your feet, proven by your pronounced waddling.
To relieve the pressure that gravity is placing on your pelvis, it helps to be able to lie down with the hips elevated when possible in between tasks. Taking a warm bath is another way to create a buoyant anti-gravity effect that relieves some of the heaviness. When you need to be on your feet, it may help to get a belly sling to redistribute the weight over your pelvis.
At this point in your pregnancy, your doctor might tell you what "station" your baby is at. Station refers to how far your baby's head has moved inside the pelvis. The stations run from 3 to -3 with 3 being above the pelvis, 0 being the bottom of the pelvis, and -3 being when the baby crowns. As your station changes, it's a sure sign that your body is preparing for your baby to come out.
6 Loose Joints
So you might already know that the hormone relaxin loosens and softens the ligaments and muscles in your body, starting in the early stages of pregnancy. But in the days leading up to labor, an extra spurt of relaxin may be released to help open up your pelvis for delivery.
In the process, all your other joints gets loosened up too. You might notice that your walk gets a little more wobbly (with a side of waddle) because relaxin has relaxed the joints and ligaments in your hips and knees. You might feel like a drunken sailor when you walk. Don't worry, you're not getting clumsier, you're just getting looser.
Maybe you've always dreamed of having limber joints, but now's not the time to be getting deeper into your stretches. Your loose joints are just reminding you that you're getting closer to having a baby!
5 Diarrhea, Yuck!
Just as relaxin is busy relaxing other joints in your body, it is simultaneously relaxing your rectum and stool. Lovely, I know. It is perfectly normal to have diarrhea in the days leading up to labor as your body starts preparing for birth. It's your body's way of "clearing out" and making way for the baby. It's not fun, but it is a good sign!
What you can do is ensure that you're eating enough and you're drinking enough water to prevent dehydration. Stay away from anything that's acidic, fatty, or full of fiber as these can cause further irritation.
Try to keep yourself comfortable and near to a restroom. Also start to prepare yourself mentally because can be a good sign that labor is nearing.
4 Nausea And Vomiting
Just when you thought morning sickness had nothing on you, you get hit with a late-pregnancy wave of nausea. You might not be expecting to feel this way again, like you have the flu or food poisoning, but nausea right before labor is a common occurrence with pregnant women and a sign that labor could be around the corner.
Nausea and vomiting can also happen during labor. As your body hits the transition stage, you may encounter a wave of nausea accompanied by hot flashes and/or the chills and shakes. This can either be caused by a drop in blood pressure from an epidural or from leftover food sitting in the stomach.
For some women, it can also be a bodily reaction to the intense pain of labor. When labor begins, digestion is thwarted. Throwing up is the body's way of focusing all its attention on the arrival of your little one, not digesting breakfast. Most of the time, you'll be put on an all-liquid diet once you're in the delivery room anyhow.
3 Starting Some Contractions
Braxton Hicks contractions may start as early as the second trimester, but are usually more prominent in the third trimester. They don't usually indicate that labor is imminent, in fact, they are often the culprit of false labor. But they are your body's way of "practicing" during dress rehearsal before the main performance.
Once real contractions start coming on, then you can be assured that labor is real. So how do you tell the difference between Braxton Hicks contractions and real labor contractions?
First, real contractions will typically have a regular, predictable pattern. When you actually time them, they come at pretty regular intervals. Over time, they also become closer together, last longer, and create more intense pain. On the other hand, Braxton Hicks contractions are usually irregular and you can usually slow them down by lying down or changing body positions.
Real contractions are one of the clearest signs that labor is really happening and the baby is getting ready to come out.
2 Water Breaks
When your membranes rupture, it is like the ultimate sign that baby is getting ready to come out. He just bursts right through his bubble like the Kool-Aid man. Once the water breaks, there's no turning back. At this point, you should contact your healthcare provider and make arrangements to get to the hospital because it's "go" time.
For some women, it can be difficult to differentiate between their water breaking and bladder leaks because it can feel like a gradual trickle. One easy way to tell is by the odor since amniotic fluid is odorless and urine is not. For the majority of women, their water will leak gradually.
Only 1 in 10 women will experience an intense gush of water, like in the movies, which is helpful to understand. Many women's membranes won't rupture until well into the labor process either, and some will need to have their water manually broken by the doctor.
1 Bearing Down
Every other sign your body gives you that the baby being ready to come out has led up to this point. Bearing down is the final sign. This is the body's surefire way of telling you that baby is coming out, and now! Once your cervix is 10 cm dilated and it's time to push, you'll feel the most intense primal instinct to push. It's so intense that you just can't help but push!
Bearing down is your body's way of telling you when to push. It usually occurs during contractions. Your labor and delivery staff may guide you to take a deep breath when you feel a contraction coming on and push with everything you have during a contraction, when the urge to bear down is the most intense.
This pushing stage could last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, but there's no denying: This is the final eviction. This is the ultimate signal that it's time for the baby to come out! It's time to meet your little one, momma.
