The Future of Infiniti is Coming
Infiniti is the luxury arm of Nissan and it's a brand we've trusted for years to give us exceptional style and performance in vehicles that are perfect for the ride and offer us the dynamics we want. If you want comfort, quality and style in your luxury vehicle, the engineering inside an Infiniti vehicle can give you everything you want to enjoy on the road. As this brand advances and continues to make the improvements we want to see on the automotive market we may be in for a serious treat when it comes to what Infiniti has coming for us in the future.
Right now it appears the future of Infiniti will be found in the EV forum. There has already been an early prototype of the EV model that is expected to be what we want to enjoy on the road but still needs some work according to the leaders of the brand. The EV that Infiniti is working on will offer a unique driving experience which will be singular to this brand and not duplicated by other brands on the market. This is certainly the challenge that Infiniti has put in front of themselves, and it's one that just might make a huge difference in what we think of EV models when it arrives on the market.
The challenge for Infiniti will be to create a vehicles that offers us the drive and performance that might be able to rival the Tesla Model S on the road. This is a lofty goal for now as Tesla continues to improve their Model S in order to bring more connectivity and perfection for the customers who love the Tesla Model S on the road. If Infiniti can create a luxury EV that can compete with the Model S this will be an impressive performance machine for us to love and enjoy.
Using the Nissan Leaf as a basis for the technology to build on Infiniti can work toward a longer range vehicle with the luxury items that we expect from Infiniti which would include the ride and the style we're used to. Nearly five years ago Infiniti paraded out an EV that was called the LE Concept which was built off the Nissan Leaf. The goal with the new EV that will be part of the next wave from Infiniti is the fact that a vehicle will be built that will have the ride we want and be built on its own platform instead of one that's built for another vehicle.
The LE Concept of five years ago brought in 134 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque to give us good performance to be enjoyed on road but the next version of an EV from Infiniti will have to be even more. We can wait and see what Infiniti brings out to be a true luxury EV that will compete with the standards already set by Tesla with the Model S. I certainly hope Infiniti brings us something spectacular to capture our imagination and attention.

EWU begins process to sell Higher Education Center Building
March 1, 2007
By NEIL PIERSON
Staff Reporter
Eastern Washington University moved another step closer to selling its Spokane Higher Education Center (SHEC), something that will impact about 3,500 students each quarter.
Last Friday, the university's board of trustees authorized president Rodolfo Arévalo to proceed with efforts to sell the building in downtown Spokane, which EWU has inhabited since 1983.
EWU has recently increased discussions about the mission and objectives of its Riverpoint campus in Spokane, which it shares with Washington State University's branch campus.
Arévalo told the board he sees Riverpoint as an "urban comprehensive campus" that will specialize in various high-demand programs like business, technology and health sciences. Prospective students have voiced interests about weekend, evening and graduate level classes too, something Arévalo sees fitting into Riverpoint's future.
"My intention is to ask deans to begin to look at curriculum and how we offer programs there," he said.
The possibility of selling SHEC first surfaced in 2004 when EWU reached an agreement with WSU about co-existing at Riverpoint. While WSU retained ultimate control of the campus under state law, EWU was granted more input into expanding programs and funding new capital facilities projects. The agreement also stated that "EWU commits to dispose of the university's downtown center and appropriately use those capital dollars for the development of an Eastern facility on the Riverpoint campus."
EWU interim provost Ron Dalla said he recently spoke with WSU-Spokane chancellor Brian Pitcher about moving classes from SHEC to Riverpoint. WSU was receptive to the idea and would donate classroom space, though it probably wouldn't be enough to make up for the 28 classrooms at SHEC. Programs like the integrated student service center, journalism, social work and creative writing would likely relocate to Riverpoint, while others would likely move back to the Cheney campus.
EWU trustee Gordon Budke said officials should be concerned about finding a home for all programs before selling SHEC so that students aren't left out in the cold.
"They should not fear where their classes will be held," Budke said. "That might be a good message to get out."
EWU has an agreement with the state regarding the sale of SHEC. The agreement contains a proviso that the university must sell the building by June 30 to keep the profits. That deadline has EWU officials working feverishly to iron out details and find enough replacement space, either in Spokane or Cheney.
"If we don't have the sale complete by June 30, we would want to renew the proviso," said Mary Voves, EWU vice president for business and finance.
Arévalo said classroom space shouldn't be an issue, but it will be necessary to find office space for staff currently housed at SHEC. Arévalo also discussed the need to create a senior administrative position to manage EWU-Riverpoint, something he sees as a key for launching new programs in Spokane and interacting with the community.
"I concur with your thought to have a senior person at the contact point in Spokane," Budke told Arévalo.
Arévalo didn't give an exact timeline for when SHEC would officially be put up for sale. He believed a buyer would surface within 45 days, but EWU would like the sale agreement to contain a lease proviso for the first year, easing the transition for faculty or programs that need new space.
"I think everybody at the university has a concern," trustees chair Paul Tanaka said. We've been dealing with the concept for a while and it's an exciting, important concept for everybody. I think everyone understands the stakes here."
In other news from the Feb. 23 trustees meeting, Arévalo mentioned that the recent legislative session has brought about a number of chances to speak about budget issues. The day before, he spoke with legislators in Olympia about funding a redesign of Patterson Hall, a $2 million project listed as the No. 2 priority on the university's capital projects summary for 2007-2009.
Arévalo also discussed a recent trip to Washington, D.C., where he visited six embassies. The Saudi Arabian consulate recently signed an agreement with President Bush to bring more students to the United States, and EWU is listed as a high-priority institution in that agreement.
"I think a lot of those students will be seeking admissions to high-demand areas," Arévalo said.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership, Chicago, IL, USA
My experience at Spertus started during a couple classes from UIC. The first class required me to see an exhibit at Spertus. The exhibit I saw was about African American Art and the Julius Rosenwald Fund. It was both informative and interesting. I wrote my final paper about pieces from this exhibit. Spertus also has a wonderful library that can be used by the public. I was doing research for another class at UIC, and needed access to a volume of the Zohar that that UIC's library did not have. The library staff was very helpful, and the there is an incredible view of the lake and grant park. It makes for a great place to study. After I graduated, I got an internship in the marketing department at Spertus. I help with event promotions and editing. Spertus is a great place to visit and work.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
My role at Spertus has been vital to the success of event promotions as well as selling and conveying the products for this Hanukkah season located in the Spertus Shop. Thanks to efforts of the marketing team, several menorahs were sold out this year. When I was in college, the Asher Library gave me access to documents that were not available at UIC. This allowed me to adequately research a paper on a passage from the Zohar. I received an A on that paper.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The Spertus Institute is a valuable asset to the community of Chicago. I would not suggest changing anything.

A Mother's Revenge (1993)
Spoiler: Each parent should watch this,a GOOD parent,and grandparents,families.1 of the best ever made on true stories.
Annette O Toole from Dead before Sunset. with the handsome Ken Olin,she was great in that film too,but THIS one i really feel her acting chops.The lovely,very talented Leslie Ann Warren was simply as always incredible,quite realistic,as all of her movies i've seen. --- I have it on again today. Prosecutor,i agree only care about it seem"winning"at all cost,not attempting to understand the flagrant mitigating factors,leading up to a parent doing what she did. --- They do not put themselves,in"how they will feel if some 1 hurt their under eighteen years old child,in a abhorrent brutal, nefarious, vile fashion.The parent simply SNAPPED.It clearly was not planned.She snapped.She sure didn't mean to intentionally kill the rapist/batterer of her youngest child.
I love Annette O Toole,from start to conclusion.
I love how at first,she had aggressiely and astutely,defendant the rapist,the disgusting,abhorrent Frank Warden,who indeed battered/raped wendy,a little girl pre-teen only 12, during such brutal attacks,then turn around,sympathize,as a mother herself with Leslie Ann Warren character, she clearly did understand what the mother must've been going through and finally agreed,to represent the mother.I love it.
Brilliantly written-all premise on a true-story.sad, so so sad,seeing the beautiful Lil girl Wendy suffer this way,"talk about a great child-actor."so good she was in this,and the father as well,JILL, theolder teen-child,curly-hair sister was good(realistically) as a teen-sis,devastated,blaming herself at first as the mom,even "inwardly blame Jill."the ending i will not surprise but wow. ---
Just a incredible true to life story.Sex abuse/RAPE is the worse. ...
Some say death is worse than what happened to wendy but some disagree.
Some say, the knowing of what had happen to her daughter,simply in many ways is worse. Worse for the victim of rape & worse for the darling, sweet good parents who also has to live with what happen to the child,during such time in their young lives. ---
I could not convict some 1 like that,i do NOT at anytime,condone shooting a man or woman,in cold blood, defenseless. ---
But i also know this coward,no good person was the worse in society,and she "snapped"so it happened. i would have said acquit her,and or probationary period couple years,with ongoing week-by- week therapy,until she is "ok again." 1 of lifetime BEST MOVIES ever made for television. ---
Even toward the end of her being sentenced,not of murder but of the lesser included-charge of "manslaughter"we see the daughter enter the courtroom,and how the jury responded,the courtroom etc. A very moving scene.
Even at the end,his mother(frank warden mom) finally understood when seeing "the physical of what happen to the Lil girl)she even finally understood,what her son really did,and for that?i would have if i was the jury given her no time,probationary period for therapy,but no prison time.
All good parents can relate to this movie,and i love it.have it on today after many years,of waiting for LMN to show it again,love it. ...
The Familiar Stranger (2001)
I love it.Nothing was wrong with this movie.Familiar Stranger is such a Good Movie.True Stories are the BEST ....
10 stars easy. Imagine your assuming mom or dad is dead,then VOILA! Very well,living pretty great,and yet forget all about you.sad story. The older TED.so cute.He now play in a hit show for years on CBS,very talented imo. The younger ted,coincidentally look like the older ted,so great casting there. . So sad this movie is. Peachy is such a trooper to carry on as she did for her children. Sad movie though. But told by the LMN as always very authentic/so real,and i do research on all of the movies i LOVE on Lifetime,this was a true story.Even seen LOSER patrick welch on I.D.Discovery,true crime special.What a big jerk.I think he did at"one time"love his boys,or at least i felt this.But overall? Wrong is just WRONG. Your own darling mother is dying,and he conceded to the fact he did not even know this?Just nefarious(this part)because that is your mother! SO wrong he was. . The Familiar Stranger is so good. Great acting involving the very lovely tall,talented brunette Margaret Colin,the sons,older and younger were REALLY good actors in it.and i love the movie.Can watch it each time on LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK-LMN,or the other lifetime.10 stars easy. Glad most online review sites,feel as i do,because it is very good.no complaints by this fan of the acting in this movie.Sad parts,naturally but overall good true-to-life story,drama=ten stars IMO. adiós

Queen (1993)
Gorgeous Queen,Halley Berry.Tim Daly is so tall,very good looking,and love him in EACH scene with his true love Easter...
Hola. i love it so much i really love the scene with him making love to his sweet caring, precious(easter)his true love,a black slave girl was beautifully done, Tim Daly early 50s by now.i wish he had more TV movie roles,definitely has the look and talent then in early 90s,IMHO still do,as big screen. It was so real in my consensus, so well-done perfect 10+ and i will always rewind the scenes especially with his true amour,easter.
Lizzy was too mean.But did hug on easter,one time during the scene when her daughter was dying because Liz daughter,terminally ill. I love how Easter,when she die,he came to her"running literally;your able to see shock,a lover heartache in his beautiful face walking toward her when she die,so sad,i rewind this part repeatedly.Glad he did accept sorta Queen at first,then went to Easter grave to be with her in spirt.sweet. TIM DALY(James)was clearly DEVASTATED.He truly did love her.Just how the times were,he was not willing to risk all set up for him etc.reputation. by marrying her,when is own wife knew he always love her until he die. She just accepted it.
Saying "my love" on her deathbed,did not get there in time. That was beautiful.Well done for tim daly,1 of his best all time roles. I believe he did truly Love her. Great acting on both parts!I easily give the cast and Queen 10+.adios.
Deadly Relations (1993)
SPOILERS ENCOMPASSED. and i rate this a ten plus,it is SO,great to see repeatedly too. just so so good.POOR MIKE/GEORGE.
Robert Urich was Nefarious in this OMG.wow.just a ruthless odd guy. and hateful,inward,and smile/tall handsome charming on the outer.
Sad how it end.
He is in heaven now,RIP not FAGOT,the guy i would hope not,but actor R.URICH,who die In my consensus too early,he was great! On Vegas and
a few more great TV true stories,but this one is incredible.
Actually; it is coming on tonight,and again throughout month of May & Jone 2012 on Lifetime,and or LMN. My consensus is the movie is beyond-good would give it a 10+ if i can.
Sad carol did not tell mike, Look my father has LIFE INSURANCE money on you,so DO NOT GO, she should've told him,then i believe MIKE right now will be alive.
so sad. The actor who star as Mike Joanne old boyfriend/or 1 guy she did date at 1 time,is cute and sweet,good for carol too,but she undermine this relationship due to her ODD-LOVE for a man who clearly undermine her life and michael's repeatedly,and his children.
Love the Narrative,at the end by CAROL- told by one of my fave actress the tall beautiful,talented Gwenyth Paltrow,she is so great in it,
the way she keep on getting her father help from Mike,her loving and faithful sweet boyfriend,turned husband,for which he clearly love her,and was in love with her but she was just a stupid girl,
believing she can trust this guy. Mike was right about her father,
and i think it is a sad ending,but i did expect it to end something similar,regarding 'Dad' and i know this much after the father kill the first son in law, if i was CAROL i would have done MORE to keep MIKE,
her husband number two all by the age of 23/24, i would have done MORE,
TO KEEP MIKE alive/away from"Dad", so sad about mike. and i am trying to remember the actor name but he was funny, really great in the movie.
Lastly i want to encompass,that the mother who star in COACH Shelly fabares,is a great actress,truly under-rated,and i adore her,she was so great in this,and mike, carol,Joanne, LOVE HER,she was astute enough to realize her father was NOT worth squat.
Matthew Perry,now 41 years old,was very young in this and so good! sad how he end up,but great actor in this,as his other movies.
all around cast was great, and i can re-watch this true tragic story 100x more times,in my lifetime,because it is THAT good,but tragic,so sad. daughter,carol finally do the RIGHT THING,even if she sound so sad at the end.the music is good at the end,and in between scenes,and the way the father control them from day one,is proof of enough the man was not playing with a full deck-i can't see ONE second where he did truly love CAROL,sad how she had to find out the HARD WAY by losing MIKE THAT HE DID NOT really love her,Not at all,and Crucifying her,Under Oath.
that was a shame.and then U see MIKE frustrated,(I CAN'T BLAME HIM) over the daughter CAROL,keep wanting to get money from MIKE! her child father, and spouse to just"GIVE IT ALL'as she say to her father?
WTF is that about?
Mike smack her up was no, NOT RIGHT,but i can see why he was getting so angry to give"ALL THE MONEY"away,to dad?OMG. your able to see toward END so so SO sad, mike was getting a real job,HAIR cut from long and was able to work legally,as Carol,was and the "love"the two clearly had was STILL THERE.
Just became too late thanks to her DAD's love for her by killing mike too, as clearly this was NO REAL LOVE from a parent,to his child and i am sad still for the family,and hopefully wherever,they are way older now,they are all doing well as can be,and ended up being somewhat happy after so much multiple tragedies,that NO loving family on earth deserve.
Mississippi Burning (1988)
Mississippi Burning was SO incredible.A SPOILER INCLUDED......!
Mississippi Burning is Heartfelt,in many ways,each time i watch it since 90s.The way cast,starring William Defoe,great actor he is,& Hackman "very convincing as the older cop"and the astute cop Defoe was the best! both were IMO(in my honest opinion,)equally great,and the woman who later fell"in love,or lust"not sure lol but she was great too!great chemistry with her and hackman.i wanted SO BAD for them two,to get a real chance to "leave"racist Mississ."but i was happy either way to see her hubbie racist azz was locked up.Watch it with such REALITY/since it is at times sure Fictionalized,encompassed,in this great movie,but also VERY true to life,as it is based off on REAL ACCOUNT of the three SLAIN murder of the three men one black RIP,and the two Jewish young men so sad from new york,one or two was,very tragic,RIP to all three,i was SO happy to know as Expound in the movie,"they were all convicted"but sheriff stuckey. he was astute enough"NOT TO HAVE ANY DIRECT InVolVeMent"with the actual death sad, but great movie,make me cry throughout at times,different part but also humour by the star men hackman/Defoe= Movie Box Office Gold/Platinum in my consensus....
Internal Affairs (1990)
Spoilers all throughout! I love this move,Hottie Andy Gracia Es Muy Muy Caliente! y'delicious to watch.!!!!
oms this movie still is so AWESOME.Laurie Metcalf who play Jackie in the hit show from 90s Roseanne,wow she is So good in this too love her acting!i love how the chemistry between two partners Garcia/Metcalf was VERY convincing,strictly platonic. i love his wife in this nancy travis. was very pretty, so cute, her long very wild thick curly hair i remember most about her as her acting was really good in this too. love this film
and i agree the scene at the end"when he say to her if your f---king lieing to me,if i see you with some 1 i will f----king kill you! lol then the part in the restaurant, oms when he is asking her first nice
and calm where were you who you go to lunch with and she got snarly says none,of YOUR business roflmfao! oms. that was something she should have not said then,he hit her LOL not at all NICE! however,the scene was LOL he start speaking Spanish totally going off on her in the public at her job lol everyone staring,lol they would not dare! even approach I.A.D.officer Raymond avilla.
I love his acting. (andy Garcia)acting so hot. a very passionate papito.
y' yo amo this movie,never sick of it, even if it is sad when William Baldwin character Van Stretch killed by Dennis peck rich gere.
Richard was MEAN in this just all type of sleaze he was great in it though. a very good movie.
Van Stretch(Baldwin)should have known not to trust this guy,Richard gere(Dennis peck)was so bad in this film,very great acting on all parts!
the ending is the best but avail the entire movie is ten stars easy...

With rental yield higher than houses and the initial lower financial commitment the factors of why investing in high density or apartment living are now far beyond sustainable town planning, environmental benefits, and creating tangible benefits for those investors who are snapping up the boom in apartment building rate.
According to Philip Ryan, Managing director of Trilogy Funds Management, "Managed funds is one of the most common ways people choose to invest their money. Many large superannuation funds will use managed funds as a way to access the skills of investment managers and different types of investments. Personally I have almost two decades of direct experience in the management of investment schemes, or managed funds. It is our core business as an investment manager."
Picture this traditional scenario that we all grew up on 'it's the land you need to own, that's where the value comes from" dad would say, when pitching you the idea of the Australian dream with the Holden in the front yard.
"But here's the thing: if you go out into the suburbs and buy a house and land package, you might pay $400,000. Of that, $100,000 accounts for the land, and $300,000 is the cost of constructing the property. So the part of the asset that appreciates is only a small portion anyway."
"If you buy an apartment in a premium land-locked suburb, the land has a higher value. There might be a block of 10 apartments in Bronte, for instance, where the land beneath is worth millions of dollars. Your land-to-asset ratio is a lot higher, and that's really what drives the price up." (George Raptis, director of Metropole Sydney )
Now take the picture to the next level as if your mortgage fund owned the whole complex, this is where the real value is at in creating a sustainable future, socially, environmentally, and financially for yourself.
Managed funds: The Basics
When you invest in a managed fund, you are allocated a number of "units" based on how much you invest and the current price of each unit. For example, if you invest $10,000 and the unit price at the time is $1, you would own 10,000 units.
If the unit price rises to $1.10, the investment will be worth $11,000 ($1.10 x 10,000 units). Or if the unit price drops to 90 cents, the investment would then be worth $9,000 ($0.90 x 10,000 units).
According to Philip Ryan, Managing director of Trilogy Funds Management, "Managed funds is one of the most common ways people choose to invest their money. Many large superannuation funds will use managed funds as a way to access the skills of investment managers and different types of investments. Personally I have almost two decades of direct experience in the management of investment schemes, or managed funds. It is our core business as an investment manager."
Managed funds can be an effective way to make the most of your investment dollars because your contribution is pooled with the money of other investors. This delivers benefits such as:
Asset diversification
This can help investors achieve a lower level of investment risk across their entire portfolio. Depending on the type of managed investment it may invest in shares, property, fixed interest or cash, or a specific combination of these assets.
- Broader market access. Some markets may be unavailable to you as an individual investor.
- A tailored portfolio. Your investments can be designed to suit your needs, whether you want a regular income or capital growth.
- Professional management and administration of your investment. A team of experienced investment managers will be in charge of your money. Managed funds are also convenient for the investor because the manager handles the day-to-day fund administration.
The returns
- There are two types of returns for managed funds: unit price growth and distribution income.
- Unit price growth occurs when the value of the underlying investments in the fund have grown over the period of the investment. This results in an increase in the price of units in the fund.
- Distribution income is paid to unit holders when a managed fund makes a payment to investors and are received during the course of your investment. They consist of the earnings the fund has generated over the period and may include capital gains (from the sale of fund shares or other fund investments) or income (from dividends or interest). Most managed funds will give you the option of receiving your distributions as cash directly into your bank account, or reinvesting your distribution back into the fund.
Risk and return
- There is a simple rule about risk which generally holds true for all investments: the higher the possible return, the greater the risk of loss over the short term. However, if you plan to invest over the long term, these risks can be reduced.
- For this reason, funds with a higher exposure to growth assets such as shares and property are best suited to those who are looking to invest for strong returns over longer time periods (greater than seven years) and who are prepared to experience short-term volatility along the way. Funds with a higher exposure to more conservative investment types, such as Australian fixed interest, mortgages and cash, are less volatile but generally deliver lower returns. Diversification can reduce risk. By investing across a range of asset classes that experience good performance at different times, the higher returns you receive from one type of investment can help to offset lower or negative returns from another.
Investing in managed funds requires a medium-to-long term investment horizon, particularly those that include growth assets. Switching investments or redeeming the investment before this time elapses can result in you receiving less back than you originally invested.
Naturally a fund's track record is important but you do need to be careful as past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. This is where the quality of the management team and understanding how the fund invests is crucial, as different investment styles tend to perform differently across the economic cycle.

KAMLOOPS – While some people will be too busy trying to buy last minute gifts for their friends and family to enjoy any of the activities taking place this final weekend before Christmas, there is lots for those of us already done shopping to enjoy and the weather looks like it will cooperate for the many outdoor activities as well.
Up to five centimetres of snow Friday followed by highs of -2 Celsius and 0 C this weekend with lows of only -5 C and -3 C will leave the city feeling wintery without being too cold, the perfect setting for activities like sledding, hiking or snowshoeing, or events involving sleighs or trains.
Several events continue to run this weekend. Woodwards Christmas Trees will host the final weekend of tree hunting fun that includes a hayride, concession and bonfire. The Wildlights display at B.C. Wildlife Park, continues through Jan. 5 as well. Santa will be visiting the zoo every evening through Christmas Eve.
If you're in the mood for some theatre, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is playing at the Pavillion Theatre through Sunday. If you are already planning what to do during the winter break, The Laughing Stock Theatre will be presenting Aladdin-The Panto!, Christmas Eve through Dec. 31 at the Sagebrush Theatre.
The Ranch in Pritchard is offering sleigh rides, with bonfire and hot chocolate through Sunday and B3 Kinds will be performing at St. Andrews on the Square Friday evening. Saturday, the Unitarian Fellowship will host a Winter Solstice Celebration at Valleyview Community Hall from 4-5 p.m.
Saturday Rainbow's Roost is also hosting a hayride and brunch with Santa from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (tickets are $10.99 and up) while BIG Little Science Centre is hosting a static electricity show at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
If you're missing the Spirit of Christmas train rides this year, why not reserve a night out with the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society. The group is hosting fundraisers Dec. 19-22 to help restore the 2141 Steam Locomotive. There will be festive decorations and lights. Christmas characters, including Santa, will be on hand and hot chocolate and goodies will be served in the vintage dining car.
Sun Peaks is also hosting several Christmas related events over the next few days, including Skating with Santa on Sunday, Skiing with Santa and the Handbell Choir on Monday and Breakfast with Santa on Christmas Eve.
And for those not quite done shopping and preferring to avoid the malls and stores there is a flea market at the school gymnasium next to the PowWow grounds from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday and the Holiday Magic show at the Old Courthouse Gallery (through Dec. 24) where artisan works are on display and for sale.

At the end of a well-known Seventies cult flick, a quivering bad guy sits on his knees staring at the barrel of a .357 Magnum. The famous line follows, "Do you feel lucky?"
Replace the quivering bad guy, with all around good guy Matt Plumb, driver of the No. 17 CAM 2 Arnette Sunglasses Dodge Reynard in the Barber Dodge Pro Series and the response to the very same query might yield, "well...I'm not really sure."
Over the course of the last three rounds of the 2000 Pro Series beginning at Road America and continuing through Vancouver to Laguna Seca, Plumb has experienced both the rhapsody and cruelty of motorsport. In Vancouver, Plumb secured a coveted first career Barber Dodge victory, one achieved following a poised drive that kept several wolves at bay.
"Winning a race makes you feel somewhat indestructible, in the sense that there was nobody on that one day that was faster than you, or if they were they at least didn't get passed you. It's definitely a mental boost, and being that the sport is 98% mental, it's a huge advantage to have that type of boost," relayed Plumb.
The problem is that boost eventually wanes, or in some cases, simply crumbles. The following weekend at Laguna Seca Raceway, Plumb qualifies second and heading into turn-2 on the opening lap executes a thrilling outside pass around polesitter and eventual race winner Nilton Rossoni. Turn up the boost a notch.
"At the start I knew that I had to make a move fairly quickly, and get into the lead," said Plumb. "It's a very tough track to pass on, and judging from the races previous to ours, people pretty much stayed where they started unless there was an accident or some one made a mistake. So, I figured if I could get around Nilton, and keep him behind me long enough to get into a rhythm, I would pull away."
Leading the race, Plumb set his crosshairs on his second win. Midway around the sixth lap, the leaders approached Laguna Seca's infamous Corkscrew.
It doesn't take a racing expert to guess what happened next. Racing drivers are a fiercely competitive bunch, and an inherent component of racing is that all of the drivers are battling for one piece of the black ribbon, the one that it is immediately before every other racecar. From Formula One all the way down to Cadet Karts, the question is the same, who rightfully owns that piece of tarmac and when is it acceptable to take it way?
Rather than seeing the nose of his Dodge Reynard pointing perilously down the Corkscrew's three-story drop, Plumb found himself sitting askance with a flurry of racecars whizzing by. Hoping to soldier on, a broken rear suspension had other thoughts.
"I braked pretty much where I had been on previous laps," recounted Plumb. "Right before I turned, I saw tire smoke in my mirrors. As I turned in I felt a nudge at my left rear sending me spinning."
And so a week after triumph, Plumb was left to be a spectator.
"I definitely had the confidence the whole weekend that I could win the race, no matter what. To be knocked out after having those feelings is a big let down," added Plumb.
The story at Road America, a fortnight before Vancouver had a similar ring. A bold pass for the lead in the opening laps was for naught when a lap later he was squeezed between a competitor's car and the trackside barrier. As would happen in Laguna Seca, Plumb saw his weekend end with no points in hand after showing his competitiveness throughout the weekend. In both cases he had qualified second quick, fractions off the pole winning time. In both cases he had aptly demonstrated his speed as he always figured near the top of the charts in the timed sessions.
The late Sir Graham Hill famously coined the phrase; "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?" What he forgot to mention is that good fortune is invaluable.
Those events aside Plumb justly has plenty to be proud of. In his second year of professional racing, he has a win and a second place finish in a notoriously competitive series. In addition he has secured a top-10 finish in every race this season bar the three that he did not finish; the aforementioned results in addition to a crash at Lime Rock Park in May where the hapless Plumb was caught out by a trail of fluids left on the track on the previous lap.
"I think Homestead was one of the better races that I drove this year, starting at the back then making my way up to the front (finishing fourth). Detroit was also one of my best because I felt like every single lap I was driving better and better and made no mistakes (finishing second)," recounted Plumb.
As for the balance of 2000, Plumb is looking to maintain his winning ways, perhaps a little more savvy to the pitfalls that could stand in his way. Beyond 2000, the possibilities remain open. An Indy Lights drive would be an opportunity he would relish. Hopefully a proper off-season test will materialize. If not, he could return to the Barber Dodge Pro Series as a race winner, and as a solid veteran for whom title aspirations would be spot on.

Let's face it, the wildfire spread of net-primarily based portals made to introduce independent songs for the world has created a bewildering array of possibilities and costs. So the place do they all stability out? When does the price of signing as much as nonetheless another music promotion company yield results? What results are we looking for anyway?

Attracting targeted listeners must be each independent artist's very first priority. Recall, you don't offer your new music – listeners OBTAIN your new music. It is a buyers current market. Better specific listeners you've got, the more product sales you make – supplied you might be systematic in obtaining your specific listeners.
The most effective way to obtain targeted listeners is always to be systematic.
Numerous artists often strategy their website promotion thinking that since they have a website and also have signed up to a few artist showcase web-sites, which the listeners will just appear pouring in.

But don't forget to make sure you have the written content prepared for that listener to delight in.
Websites abundant in information will retain your targeted listener.
From the independent artist's case, the rich content material would be the songs. This may seem like old announcement, but check out the amount of independent artist internet sites that give the customer loads of info regarding the band but really very little (or undetectable) ear sweet. New music must be the very first point a customer will get. On the really the bare minimum they will need an apparent hyperlink to wherever they'll hear with your new music. And never just one particular or two tracks but a selection of the songs. Independent artists should remember they have not received the car radio exposure to model the presentation of their songs following more nicely established functions. Listeners need to have to be convinced they like your independent audio prior to they're going to acquire it.
So the issue is how to create your world-wide-web promotion targeted, systematic and abundant?

Like how several track plays or webpage views you as well as your tunes obtain on their site. This fashion you may check in periodically and monitor your overall performance with these websites.
Systematic Steps.
The true secret to becoming systematic is firm. Hold a word of each of the web-sites you use to advertise your songs, a brief description of what they do and just how much it prices. Try out to acquire in the demo of monitoring all of them regularly. Consider observe of which web-sites are finding much better benefits than other individuals and focus your efforts accordingly. You would possibly compensate for minimal promotion on a person website, whilst a different gets you loads of listeners free of charge. Naturally you will need to placed additional effort into updating the internet sites that happen to be obtaining better success.
Provide a website link in your website and newsletters to all of the web sites you use to advertise your songs. Bear in mind your site visitors are your hardcore word wide web fans and are probably the most more likely to take a look at and unfold the term about your spot on other internet sites. So encourage them to check out your profile on other sites. In the very least it raises your stats on individuals internet sites – creating your tunes glimpse far more well-known!
Strive to create a ring of sites that website link to one another although the written content you supply. As an example, you could have your tunes on your personal site and two other showcase web-sites – Web page A and Website B. Your site should without having a doubt link with Internet site A and Web site B. Web page A should website link using your site and Internet site B, Web site B should url using your web site and Site A and so on. What if these web-sites really don't help you setup back links to other web sites? Set a web tackle in the parts exactly where they do let you offer subject material. Like biogs or descriptions.
The ultimate purpose of linking all your sites is always to supply your listeners which has a wide variety of access details in your new music, at the same time as accessibility to your different ways different web sites may perhaps deliver your music. Recall to link with your certain page around the web site and never just the site by itself. Your internet site linked that has a internet site that engage in your tracks on Net car radio, linked with a website that sells your downloads, linked with a site that sells your CD's offers for any highly effective combination of exposure.
Be Prosperous
Devoid of funds! That's the challenge that most independent artists encounter. The standard method to selling tunes is always that it should not be very easily readily available to pay attention to, ought to the incentive for listeners to basically buy albums be undermined. This has persuaded independent artists that they must reduce website listeners to reduced-good quality snippets of streaming audio.
Independent artists have to keep in mind they don't have the sources and finances to assistance the "shotgun strategy" of spraying their new music across airwaves and music television set. Big artists have huge organizations behind them that ought to recoup the fees of mass advertising publicity, and thus try and reduce the extent to which listeners can sample their audio on the world-wide-web. Listeners have presently heard the audio and therefore are trying to discover a backup of their very own.
Conversely, listeners have not experienced a chance to hear to independent artist as a result of typical media. Therefore independent artists can not presume that individuals will acquire their music away from of a internet site if they do not get a probability to actually listen to it. If folks have by now heard an artist's new music, and like it, the value they pay for is in owning a duplicate they can enjoy every time they like. If folks haven't currently heard an artist's tunes, the importance is in currently being able to sample as considerably in the new music as possible.
So staying prosperous is furnishing your listeners with as considerably of the music as they desire to listen to prior to they purchase it. Now you don't have to produce all your tracks accessible totally free obtain, but you may present very good quality, total-length streams that impress the listener and enrich your sound. Not tight-fisted snippets that lose the listener because these are lo-fi and more than before they entice the listener's interest.
Getting abundant can also be producing your tunes readily available within a range of formats for diverse audiences. Telling lovers that the songs is often heard by means of Internet radio, on-demand streams, mp3 downloads and mail buy CD implies you'll be able to appeal to listeners who favor a lot more than one particular sort of media. You'll be able to also use your world-wide-web promotion to go beyond purely plays and gross sales – look at licensing.
Licensing your tunes for use with tv, film, advertising and marketing, websites, picture game titles along with other multimedia will open up your listening market, offer revenue and introduce a diploma of professionalism to your career that attracts the notice of industry reps As well as a&R. Including this depth in your world-wide-web promotion allows to enrich the presentation of the songs and retain targeted listeners.

i guess they thinking big... infact the game itself is turning out to be a project
Johnny really is an optimist, isn't he?
Personally, I don't think Natal is going to be so revolutionary...
Not because it lacks potential, in fact, it has excellent potential, but the really big 3rd parties are likely to not invest the time needed to explore game ideas, and will just rehash existing game ideas, as its quicker, easier, and more cost-effective.
The only hope they really got is with the amateur developers, and small, start-up developers, who will have the time to really indulge in the meat of the system.
Microsoft obviously realise that now, else we wouldn't have XNA.
I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft employed the cream of the crop to develop, (or at least have an input) to Natal games.
This isn't really news, it's personal opinion from another tool who thinks that this stupid ass concept is going to succeed. Seriously, the only people who will buy into it will be those who don't mind looking like fags while playing, basically it's like playing Rock Band and making a video out of it.

New 3D gear, when?
Knallberto wrote:
There are a lot of cameras doing "solala" (but not real) 3D - not only Sony. Panasonic etc.
It is "real 3D". I'm sorry that you still can't accept that. What you end up with is an MPO file, and you can examine the two photos. It really works! I've also printed some with lenticular technology, and it all works.
Of course you can make with EACH camera (perfect - static) 3Ds. Even with HelloKittyCam.
You can do the "cha cha" method and take two photos, but if you use the Sony mode, it will line the two up for you and package it into an MPO, which may be more convenient for some. With two separate photos, you'll have to sort it out in software. Lining it up is bad enough, but when the two photos have a different tilt, that is a bit harder to adjust.
But yeah, time permitting, by all means click one, two, three photos manually. The Sony mode has low resolution, so if you DO decided to do it manually, you can get higher res results. So, you might go ahead and just try the camera that you have. I think a lot of people will appreciate having a more automated assist, though.

Quote from Organization Garden Lighting Suburban Area with Dazzling Impact :
One point that would boost your garden's visual greatly is its lighting adjustment and many types of lighting could be used for your advantage like organization garden lighting suburban area. Suburban area has one of the exotic nuances among many other areas especially when it comes to night and arranged with proper lighting. Suburban, or many people say suburb for short, might not have a lot of tall buildings like at the center of the city but its silent emotion is sure relaxing.

My almost 90-year old mother LOVES coconut and has developed a sweet tooth. I've done macaroons but need more ideas, especially for coconut desserts that freeze well. When I make the trip to see her, I'd like to bring frozen desserts that she can defrost and eat when she wishes. I will try these Martha S cookies:
But I would love more ideas. Thanks in advance.

Meet Cassie
Cassie is also available for minimum 60-minute bookings in Napa/Sonoma
***Please note: Cassie will be unavailable for shoots between December 20 - January 9, 2018.
I'm a grade A romantic - in love with the world, its people, and the passions that we all share. From discovering the next story beyond the bend to capturing those memories into priceless photographs, every photo session serves as a lasting reminder of the overwhelming power of the human connection. Throughout the entire process of capturing someone's personalized story, I work to discover the unique angles and lighting adjustments that help create an extra layer of artistic feeling to an image.
Three Things
- I love reading books out in the garden, planning southern BBQ bashes for my west coast friends, and thrift shopping for home decor and mismatched dining plates.
- I'm a bit of a slave to my Fitbit and absolutely can't live without it! Luckily, it takes me on all the scenic routes (#doitforthesteps) while scouting possible photo locations.
- I can eat just about anything. I have the iron constitution and appetite of an adolescent blue whale.
Favourite Place to Shoot
My favorite spots in San Francisco revolve around the gorgeous architecture and golden light of the Presidio, but venture just a little bit outside the city and my other close favorites include the rolling Marin headlands, Sonoma Valley, and Muir Woods.

Warning: There will be mild-spoilers below.
This Friday, audiences will get to experience the horror film Don't Breathe, which has already gained amazing reviews from popular critic sites. There's even been talk on whether the film will be the best horror film of the year. The suspense-filled movie marks the second rodeo from director, Fede Alvarez of 2013's remake, Evil Dead. Though the film is new, here are three reasons why it will be an instant hit for fans of the horror genre.
1. Seriously, Don't Breathe
As you could tell from the trailer, three burglars decide to rob the wrong guy: A blind military veteran, who's dealing with the loss of a child. With that in your notes, "The Blind Guy", (because that's his name) doesn't take things lightly after discovering his house has been infiltrated. When things turn from him trying to get rid of the crooks to murdering them, you discover he isn't so much the "victim" of the film. Just know that he's quick and can hear the faintest creak from the next room.
So answer this strange question: Have you ever walked home late at night, trying not to make much sound so you could hear the environment that surrounds you? The dark, gloomy distance in front of you as you walk beneath the only lights that somehow flickers on that particular night? Well, take a breath now because what this movie brings would make you stop chewing your popcorn just to hear what's coming next. Let's just say, this guy has a background and he knows his environment very well. One false move and he's there staring directly at you. A step in the wrong place and he's after you. So, with someone who's accustomed to the silence and darkness, the best option would be to stay put and just.. Don't.. Breathe. For all audiences, stay silent in your seats and seriously, don't breathe or he just might hear you.
2. A Silent Killer's Agenda
When Fede Alvarez brought Evil Dead, audiences were able to witness a possessed killer who would laugh and mock her victims. This time, he took the goriness down a notch and brought front a subtle, silent killer. What may seem like an intense moment for the victims, Rocky (Jane Levy), Alex (Dylan Minnette), and Money (Daniel Zovatto), is nothing more than a discreet encounter for the troubled veteran. You won't hear a long dialogue from him, just his silence before his choice of punishment, and if you haven't noticed by now, he's furthest from the good guy in this story.
So imagine you've made it home safe and sound. You're watching television, when a horror flick comes on again. This time, it's a classic with a walking resurrected killer donning a hockey mask. Yeah, the guy who doesn't speak while removing limbs from his latest victim. Well, the way this killer in Don't Breathe takes on the responsibility of removing his intruders is a tad unorthodox. You won't see what's about to happen next. You will understand why he doesn't allow them to leave or why he doesn't call the police. Where you see the trio trying to break open a bolted door is where you'll learn all that is needed behind The Blind Guy's reasons for killing. That is where you'd like to keep your mouth shut — for obvious reasons later in the film and to be able to keep your food down, because nothing's scarier than what he plans for Levy's character after his sudden misfortune.
3. Formula Of A Memorable Villain
The Blind Guy has a certain tenacity about him that differentiates him from other villains. Well, the obvious being that he lacks the most prominent of senses that most famous villains still use: The ability to see. What he lacks, he makes up for with his other four senses. It's evident his hearing is incredible, but his smell is also heightened such that he can pinpoint where a foreign object is. Along with his military capabilities and lack of morality, this makes him one fellow who hasn't got much to lose.
Now imagine the lights are out. You are ready to sleep, but after the blood-rushing night you've encountered, you're lying awake among the night creaks from your wooden floor and the hollow knocks against the next room's wall. It's incredibly silent and such sounds are new to your ears. Well, not for this guy. What you may have just witnessed across the screen, he has already found or is on his way. The sound of a door opening has him already exploring the room. After he discovers the breach to his "secret room", he takes no male prisoners alive — every villain has his or her reasons. The Blind Guy takes no chances in allowing anyone to expose what he has hidden underneath his home. His actions are far from comfortable, but that's what makes him memorable and I'm sure fans of the genre will soon agree.
So would you take this advice and not breathe during those speechless moments, or try to guess the agenda behind this silent killer, who could turn out to be a memorable villain? It doesn't just have the formula of a horror film, it has the essences of a suspenseful thriller that will keep you on the brink of your seat. Go see for yourself when Don't Breathe opens in theaters on August 26.

Dylan Settles had been a member of the Woods Chapel General Baptists Church in Brookland for years, but after he revealed his sexuality they shunned him for 'sinning'.
The chapel, in Arkansas, sent him a letter, which he's since posted on Facebook.
The letter reads:
It has come to the attention of the Church body, that you have made it known publicly, of your choice to embrace the homosexual lifestyle. While we understand the struggles we all face with sin in our lives, we must be aware of the consequences of our choices.
'As a Christian we must choose to serve and obey, in accordance with God's holy word, in order to remain a member in good standing of the Church body. We as the church board here at Woods Chapel General Baptist Church, have with great sorrow, voted to remove your name immediately from the church membership role.
'It is the desire of your church family, you would turn from the sinful lifestyle you have chosen, repent of the sins you have committed, and return to full fellowship with God and the church body.'
The church also said they would 'pray for him'.
Dylan wrote: 'I just got this letter from a place I called my home church. You will never see my face in that church again.'
He later said: 'I want to thank everyone for helping me share my story. After the hundreds of messages to thousands of shares and over 300 friend requests, I couldn't reply to everyone.'
Adding: 'I am truly thankful to have a community that has reached out to me at my time of grief.'
