05/Nov/2013 at 16:52 PR - BUDGET 2014 – Vehicle Registration and Licensing Measures As announced in yesterday's budget speech, Transport Malta is publishing additional details explaining each of the measures that are being introduced, that relate to the registration and licensing of vehicles. The main measures include: 1. Currently there is a minimum amount of Registration Tax applicable for Used M1 passenger vehicles (up to eight passenger seats besides the driver's seat), that are imported from NON-EU Countries. This minimum amount of tax depends on the CO2 emission value and on the age of the vehicle. The amounts applicable for vehicles that have emissions that do not exceed 140g/km are being reduced from between €1,000 to €2,500 to between €800 and €1,400, for those vehicles that are between five and seven years old. 2. Motorcycles that are registered on or after the 5th November 2013 having an engine capacity exceeding 250cc will have their registration tax reduced to between 25% and 30%, depending on their registration value and engine. 3. The Annual Circulation Licence Fees for M1 vehicles that expire as of January 2014 will all increase by €10, except those that were registered after the 1st January 2009, and have CO2 emissions of not more than 100g/km. Further details of each of the measures can be found in this document. Read more

The IRC in Georgia
Ending a Successful Humanitarian Mission
The IRC deployed emergency teams to Georgia in August 2008, days after tensions between Georgia and Russia over the separatist enclave of South Ossetia escalated into a full-blown military conflict. The conflict resulted in widespread displacement and the destruction of towns and villages.

Tite Road House, Estate of the Day
When you think of TIte Street in Chelsea, London you might think of the historical houses such as Oscar Wilde's home or James Whistler's studio. The area is famous for walking tours that let you drift back into Londons past. But at 60 Tite Street it's a whole other matter. A completely immaculate modern home is for sale at this address. The five bedroom home is done in the muted neutral tones usually found in a boutique hotel. It's a bit like a Crate and Barrel catalog come to life but it still has a certain charm due to the space it inhabits. It is listed at £6,950,000. After the jump, a rhapsody in brown.

Located in a historic 1850's home in Warren, Vermont, West Hill House is a wonderful getaway spot year-round. The Diamond Collection inn is extremely close to Sugarbush skiing, golfing, tennis, and is adjacent to the Robert Trent Jones, Sr. championship golf course.
The following review was left by a traveler in July 2011 and was perfectly rated:
"Great spot for skiers, golf and R&R"I visited West Hill House for the second time, this time in the summer. It was so gorgeous, with all the gardens in full bloom! Last time I was there it was in the winter, when this inn makes the most perfect place for a ski getaway! Winter or summer, it's fabulous. Why? 1) Great rooms - many built into the eves or accessed by their own private staircases. 2) Tons of places for R&R - four ponds, garden paths, a gazebo built from birch trees on the property, a firepit, even a pond-side hammock! 3) Tons of common space - a large living room, a sun room with the world's most comfortable leather couch, a deck with an awning. 4) Incredible breakfasts followed by a breakfast dessert. Perfect way to start the day. 5) Susan and Peter are so fun, lively and interesting. Great hosts! I could go on and on, but there are the top 5 reasons to stay at West Hill House!

Flexibility and Performance in Composite Machining
The new range of PCD drills have a special 120° drill point design that can be used in various applications.
In addition, customized tools are available upon request. For example: chamfer drills, double point…
One of the strongest benefits with PCD drills is their ability to cut for long periods of time without needing replacement. The stock standard PCD drills are without coolant holes.
The standard 30° helix angle secures the chip/dust evacuation. The sharpness and the excellent dimensional tolerance of a PCD tool improves workpiece quality in terms of surface finish and hole tolerances. Resulting in long tool life and an increased yield. The full potential and value of PCD drills over conventional drilling can be seen in enhanced productivity and tool life.
For full cost efficiency when using PCD tools, a reconditioning service is available for all Seco PCD tools.

text: Attending a society auction with Michel (Yanic Truesdale), Lorelai is mildly attracted to Peyton Sanders (Jon Hamm), scion of a wealthy family. Emily (Kelly Bishop) encourages Lorelai to cultivate a relationship with Sanders -- even after Lorelai has come to the conclusion that the man is a crashing bore. Meanwhile, Rory (Alexis Bledel) agrees to take care of the lawn belonging to her weird neighbor Dwight (Jason Kravits), but is unable to shut off the sprinkler system -- a minor inconvenience that leads to major complications when Jess (Milo Ventimiglia) shows up to help Rory out. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

I am a TOH field editor and like this egg bake for its versatility and ease of prep! I like to add mushrooms and green onions or chives and some sweet red pepper instead of a green pepper-just like it more colorful! Definitely give this one a try!!
A very hearty breakfast. I've been requested to make this on several occasions. I generally have to keep it in the oven for about an hour-this is longer than what the recipe calls for.
Made this exactly as in recipe. Very disappointing because it reminded me of a very good cheesy potato dish I make frequently for parties. This dish was so bland and the texture unappealing that I can't even think how to tweak it other than replacing the potatoes with bread as in a strata. I would never make this again.
Me and my kids LOVE this recipe! I like how you can just mix all the ingredients, pop it in the oven and enjoy your morning while it bakes. I am making it again right now and I have added chopped leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and will be topping it with sliced avocado! YUM!
it certainly takes the worry out of cooking breakfast for large numbers. AND it's goooood.

Central supermarket.
Central supermarket.
If it's rustic Lithuanian cuisine served by fair maidens in traditional dress that you're after, then this twinset of wooden country inns in the middle of town is for you. Another branch is in Donelaičio (Donelaičio gatvė 11).
The 17th-century former town hall at Rotušės Aikštė is now a Palace of Weddings where brides and grooms say taip ('I do') on Saturday. In its cellar there is a small ceramics museum.
Above the top funicular station at the Green Hill Funicular towers Christ's Resurrection Basilica, a huge piece of history that took 70 years to build. A Nazi paper warehouse and radio factory under the Soviets, the church was finally consecrated in 2004.
St Peter & St Paul's Cathedral with its single tower owes much to baroque reconstruction, especially inside, but the original 15th-century Gothic shape of its windows remains. It was probably founded by Vytautas around 1410 and now has nine altars. The tomb of Maironis stands outside the south wall.
Soviet planners threatened to bulldoze a highway through this central square (they didn't) and its pretty 15th- and 16th-century German merchants' houses and 17th-century former town hall remain.
The square's southern side is dominated by the twin-towered St Francis Church, college and Jesuit monastery complex, built between 1666 and 1720.
Diabolical is the collection of 2000-odd devil statuettes in the Museum of Devils, collected by landscape artist Antanas Žmuidzinavičius (1876-1966). Note the satanic figures of Hitler and Stalin, formed from tree roots, performing a deadly dance over Lithuania.
The former Presidential Palace is where the country was run between 1920 and 1939. Restored to its original grandeur, the palace hosts a fascinating exhibition on independent interwar Lithuania. B&W photographs are interspersed with gifts for past presidents, silver collections and presidential awards. Statues of former presidents dot the palace garden.
Close to Laisvės alėja, a memorial at Kaunas' only operational Choral Synagogue remembers 1600 children killed at the Ninth Fort. The WWII Jewish ghetto was on the western bank of the Neris, in the area bounded by Jurbarko, Panerių and Demokratų streets.
Hands down the tastiest street terrace at which to dine, drink and soak up Old Town, this candlelit 17th-century cellar grills great meats and serves a funky chicken filet with fruity curry sauce.
Sharing the same terrace as Senieji Rūsiai, Avilys is an award-winning brewery that serves unusual beers to a discerning crowd. Dining - reason itself to come here - overlooks the street or is underground.
The Kaunas Philharmonic is the main concert hall for classical music.
The National Čiurlionis Art Museum is Kaunas' leading museum. It has extensive collections of the romantic paintings of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911), one of Lithuania's greatest artists and composers, as well as Lithuanian folk art and 16th- to 20th-century European applied art.
This laid-back bar whose name is short for 'Blue Orange' is a student hang-out where a drunken bunch while away the wee hours of the weekend.
The Military Museum of Vytautas the Great covers Lithuanian history from prehistoric times to the present day. Of particular interest is the wreckage of the aircraft in which Steponas Darius and Stasys Girėnas died while attempting to fly nonstop from New York to Kaunas in 1933.
A gothic gem of a church is tucked in a courtyard off Laisvės alėja: St Gertrude Church was built in the late 15th century. Its red-brick crypt overflows with burning candles, prompting a separate candle shrine to be set up in a shed opposite the crypt entrance.
As its name suggests, the Green Hill funicular glides up Green Hill. Above the top station towers Christ's Resurrection Basilica, a huge piece of history that took 70 years to build. A Nazi paper warehouse and radio factory under the Soviets, the church was finally consecrated in 2004.
Trendy Miesto Sodas has a cool club, Siena in its basement and a varied menu. Sip on fresh carrot or beetroot juice and pick from wok-fried BBQ spare ribs, a T-bone steak, cold berry soup or a typically Lithuanian herring filet in the company of marinated red onions, sour cream and baked potatoes. Service can be snail-slow.

Andrew believes that we can adapt our prude American palate in order to help change the world. In a recent statement, Andrew said, "You can change the world one plate at a time. If we can take better advantage of the global pantry and eat from a wider variety of choices we would do more to combat food poverty, our damaged food production system, obesity, and other systemic health and wellness issues than any one single act I can imagine."
Below you can find Andrew's suggestions for the five foods that can change our palette and world:
1. Donkey: Raising donkeys for consumption would be ideal because the muscles can be portioned larger, for those 64 oz. steak lovers out there, or smaller as to not make Americans feel that Donkeys share too much likeness to a horse. An alternative hoofed protein (goat, venison, buffalo, etc.) would be very beneficial for both the economy, because they need less pasturing space, and our physical health because the meat is leaner than beef. These meats are available as soon as America gets "off our addiction to feedlot beef and commodity-raised pig."
2. Little fish: Our love of tuna, salmon, and shrimp is killing off those species bringing them close to extinction through over-fishing. Little fish such as, lionfish, dogfish, mackerel, and sardines with their heads (gasp!) are full of healthy, good for you omega-3 fatty acids. These fish also have fewer toxins than larger fish. Not only are little fish one of the healthiest things you can eat they are sustainable and populations reproduce quickly. Not only are little fish more sustainable for our waters and environment but their prices have not skyrocketed because of a growing world-wide demand.
3. Your own vegetables: Farming methods have changed and the American food system is in crisis because most of our produce comes from only a few large-scaled farm companies. Due to the scale of these companies, farming techniques have become unhealthy and downright dangerous and unsafe. If farming was "less mechanized and more regional" we'd be healthier while being "economically and culturally sustainable as well." We also have the option of aiding in the support of community gardens or growing our own vegetables if we live in an area where this is possible for all with a yard. By growing our ow fruit and vegetables, according to season, our produce will be safer and will benefit our local economies.
4. Game birds: The American food system's most dangerous aspect is factory chicken farms. The meat from these factory farms is not healthy because of rampant disease and food-born pathogens within the farms. If we added a "well-sourced poultry protein" like duck, turkey, squab, or pheasant for instance, it would benefit our wallet, health, and national food system as well. Most people will admit that they're sick of eating chicken seven different ways for dinner each week. If you change the type of poultry in the meal you're taste buds will welcome the new tastes.
5. Offal: When compared to the rest of the world America is very wasteful in terms of animal products. About 25‑40% of an animal, the blood, organs, and so on, is discarded as trash when the animal is butchered. But to a lot of people's surprise, our processed meats (pink slime), contains those ingredients anyway. Eating processed meats is also lowering our life expectancy and increasing our risk of cancer and heart disease. So why not have a freshly butchered cow spleen sandwich instead of a cut of meat found in "the 'pot roast' category?" Chances are you're eating those ignored parts in your supermarket bought bologna without even knowing it. Of course, Andrew Zimmern acknowledges that this won't be an easy task for many Americans but if offal dishes leave the "swank gastropubs" and enter American kitchens we all will benefit from a healthier diet and slaughterhouse industry.

Seeing that there's going to be quite a few Windows Phone 8 devices released in the next month or so, I figured we should have a club for it. Post any questions, comments, app suggestions etc here.

Xbox SmartGlass now available for Windows Phone http://www.wpcentral.com/xbox-companion-updated-now-xbox-smartglass
Ya it does kinda ruin it, and I also don't expect the build quality of the HTC to be as good as Nokia's.
Microsoft will be streaming their Windows Phone 8 event today from this website http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/presskits/windowsphone/ Starts in about 45 minutes.
A Microsoft Surface phone to compliment the Surface tablet? http://www.wpcentral.com/wsj-reporting-microsoft-branded-windows-phone Very curious if this is true.
I got my Lumia 920 yesterday. Gorgeous phone, fast, smooth, more than I can say for my friend's Galaxy S3. Also, it looks like Nokia is giving out free wireless charging pads to Lumia 920 and 820 customers (both phones support Qi wireless charging). http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-offer-free-wireless-charging-plate-many-lumia-820-and-920-customers
AT&T still aren't listing the 920 yet. I have a Nokia Lumia 900 and LG Quantum. LG Quantum hates to roam and has been discontinued for a while now.
Don't worry it'll get added soon. Rogers has slowly been shipping Lumia 920's out and it's not even on their site Launch date for ATT is rumoured to be either Nov. 11 or 12. I'll add you to the members list EDIT: NM looks like a Nov. 9th release
Apart from a short period just after I bought it(bought it right after it was released), its been really stable and fluent. I've had perhaps 3 crashes in the whole year, and most of the times I cannot even remember the last time i've had to turn it on. But the best of all, everything is just so easy to use and accomplish. The only downside imho is the fact that it doesnt get an upgrade to windows phone 8(but 7.8 should be coming soon and provide some of the updates anyway).
That's pretty much been my experience with my Lumia 900. Solid phone. After using the Lumia 920 for a bit it already surpasses the old Lumias. Supposedly 7.8 is coming out before Christmas, but I guess we'll see.
You'll love the phone, I honestly can't believe how fast and fluid the UI is. The pictures are also spectacular.
The Lumia 920 is again available for pre-order at Best Buy http://www.wpcentral.com/lumia-920-returns-best-buy-lower-price
I want a Lumia 920 so frikkin' bad. Or better yet a Samsung Ativ S because it's huge. I played around with a Galaxy Note and I fell in love with the size.
AT&T pre-orders are on as well. For a premium phone $99 on contract is decent. I liked my Lumia 900, but there is no comparison between it and 920. I keep draining the battery cuz I can't put it down I think the Lumia 920 is at the high end in terms of what I can tolerate for size, as it is pretty big.
Just a reminder that Windows Phone 8 phones launch Nov. 9th in the US, and Nov. 12th on Rogers in Canada Also, I'm putting any note-worthy pics/vids from my Lumia 920 here https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=2c293010ff4f0035&id=2C293010FF4F0035!2099
Anyone on AT&T get a Nokia Lumia 920 or HTC 8X today? Also, Windows Phone 8 now supports cloud backup, here's a guide to using it http://www.wpcentral.com/backing-and-restoring-personal-data-windows-phone-8
I got my Lumia 920 in white today at the AT&T store. Haven't had a ton of time to play with it, but just from using it at work it's pretty impressive.
Congratz! I wish Rogers here in Canada offered colours other than Black (really want a yellow one) but yes the phone is impressive, so I'll put up with black

If you are part lizard and love the heat, then this is the city for you. With Las Vegas as your closest neighbor there is plenty to see and do.....but you better like it HOT! Summertime is hot(triple digets) every day and it is quite warm in the evening as well (low's around 85). It almost never snows here and rain is very rare and very little of it.

Weather in Henderson - 3/9/2013 I always say that Henderson has Nevada skies and California sunshine. The weather is really easy to live with here.[read more...]
Henderson/Las Vegas - 9/16/2012 Cheap housing, great entertainment......BUT Vegas area is VERY secluded! You can get anyplace around town in 30 minutes. This town get's old fast.Im always driving to LA or PHX....Moved here in 2001, departed in 2003 but returned in 2010 and cant wait to leave. Its a good place to visit, and it's cheap to fly/stay however there are so many more awsome cities in this US. Think twice before moving to Vegas.........I grew up on the atlantic ocean in Florida, have lived in Scottsdale,AZ, Houston,TX, Denver,CO (denver is really amazing) and Calabasas,CA......ask me anything if you want.have a nice day.[read more...]

Illegal to start a business in your own garage/hom - 12/17/2011 After serving my country overseas for decades I purchased a house here 3 years ago. My parents have lived here for 25 years or so. The only thing I wanted to do was start a small business in a small shop behind my house and help take care of my parents. I spent 11 years purchasing mills and lathes and storing them here, getting ready so everything was squared away when the time came. I purchased a home with a huge shop in the back (already made). Poured a new concrete floor etc., to get everything ready. I left Afghanistan a few months ago to start it. Happiest time of my life right! First thing I did was go down to the City Hall to get a business license. Imagine my surprise to find out that in Henderson, NV it is ILLEGAL to have any kind of home based business in your garage or shop. Unbelievable. Never in my wildest dreams did I even imagine that people could ban people from having a business in their own homes. They have taken that freedom away. So if Steve Jobs were here, it would have been illegal for him to start Apple computer. There would have been no Ford Motor Company, Hewlett-Packard or Harley-Davidson, etc. No wonder the country is so screwed up. All over this town are over-priced, industrial parks with row after row of empty buildings. They want 2k and up a month to rent them. Gee, I wonder why they are empty? Guess what you Henderson City Hall Rocket Scientist's? You killed off the start-ups before they had a chance to get big enough to need a 2,000 a month commercial building. I guess it's more important to keep the people that own the empty industrial parks paid than to give people their freedom to do what they want to do. So for me, instead of starting a business and maybe hiring some people later as my business grows, I'm selling off everything. Thanks Henderson. Thanks a lot. So much for entrepreneurship and helping small businesses. Come to Henderson if you want to flip burgers at McDonald's or work as a checkout person at WalMart. But if your an entrepreneur, my advise is stay as far away from this town as possible.[read more...]
Henderson, NV - 9/24/2011 I have lived in Henderson, NV for 3 years and I think that it's a great city and everyone that I have met are all very friendly. I do not have any small children that go to school here however, I heard that the "Green Valley" area has very good schools. By the way, the shopping is great at the "Gallera Mall" on Sunset Blvd plus, there are alot of great restaurants in the area to choose from. [read more...]
Unemployment in Nevada is at an all time high - 7/31/2011 There is little diversity in the job market in southern Nevada. The casinos are the number one employer here. Lost jobs and home forclosures run rapid. Henderson is a much more community interest city than Las Vegas.[read more...]
cost of living in high - 6/2/2011 I would not believe the cost of living index for Henderson, NV. We pay an average of $600 a month for gas, electric and water and we live in a Pulte single story energy star home! We live in a igloo! We only turned our heater on a few times last winter. We make really good money and can not afford to live here anymore since the cost of living has more than doubled since we moved here 10 years ago. No income tax but there are plenty of other fees and taxes to make up for that; ie. car registration, LID's etc!!! Our electric costs get as high as $550 in the summer with the thermostat set at 78. Keep in mind, summer can last from April to Sept. Nevada does not get a break on the cost of water either even though we have Lake Mead because of the agreements that were made when the dam was built. [read more...]
Clark County Museum - 1/26/2011 The best Museum in the area, and the cheapest! (1-2 dollars per person) The street of historic homes that one can self-tour, is the best part, but right now in the Main Exhibit Building, there is a great exhibit with funny vintage TV commercials from the 50's and 60's...This place is a treat in the winter, because so much is outdoors...visit now before summer comes....but when it does, the houses are all air-conditioned...you just may not want to spend a lot of time exploring the Ghost Town and Mining Trail in the summer months. Open Daily, 9-4:30pm, except major holidays. www.clarkcountynv.gov, 702-455-7955.[read more...]
Clark County Museum - 1/26/2011 For between 1-2 dollars each (or zero for toddlers) you and your family can enjoy a great experience outdoors or in at the Clark County Museum, which is on a 30 acre site that includes the Main Exhibit Hall, a street of historic homes you can explore, a barn, Train depot and caboose you can go into, a Ghost Town and Mining Trail you can wander through, a Nature Trail to meander down, and of course a gift shop. This unrecognized gem is open DAILY from 9am-4;30 pm, except for 3 major holidays. You will see cottontails, ground squirrels, and maybe a jackrabbitt and roadrunner to boot. The Wedding Chapel they moved here fron the Las Vegas strip is beautifully restored, and there is a huge steam engine too. Photographers' paradise![read more...]
Henderson - 9/5/2010 Henderson has the best schools in the Las Vegas Metro. If you are unfortunate enough to have to live in the Las Vegas area and have children choose Henderson. If you are smart....move out of the area entirely:)[read more...]
Southwestern Paradise - 6/28/2010 Henderson, adjacent to Las Vegas, is a community dedicated to families and retirees. It is rich with community centers, parks, and year-round indoor and outdoor activities plus the proximity to Las Vegas entertainment. The greater metropolitan area (roughly 2 million) has a diverse population that offers culture from all over the world. The area is very contained, due to being surrounded by public and other government lands, providing an easy escape from the city into desert wilderness and national parks. Henderson has excellent infrastructure, affordable housing, good schools, great shopping and dining, and safe neighborhoods. There is always someplace new to explore. [read more...]
Pros and Cons of Henderson - 4/24/2010 Lived in Henderson for 2 1/2 years: Pros: Housing costs are becoming more affordable and is almost in line with the national average. No state tax and relatively low property taxes (ranked second in the nation behind Alaska as far as having the lowest state tax and local tax burden). All essential amenities within a few miles. Plenty of running/bike trails. The weather is nice from September thru May. Always something to do with Henderson being in close proximity (20min) to Vegas and the casinos being open 24hrs a day. Many different places to camp/4 wheel within several hrs of the city. Cons: Very hot during the summer. It can be windy especially in the spring and fall (I believe this also depends a bit on where you live in town because of the terrain). High car insurance and license tags. Generally, the newer the vehicle the higher the tags will cost. Most houses are in developments which are situated on small lots <.25acre. Summary: I enjoyed living in and wouldn't mind moving back to Henderson. Henderson and Las Vegas have quite a variety of people from different regions throughout the US. I'm not sure how the schools are in Henderson as I don't have kids, but I've heard both good and bad. Outlook: Although unemployment is somewhat high right now, I wouldn't be surprised to see an influx of people/companies moving from California to Henderson/Vegas because of the close proximity and the relative cost of living. [read more...]
great most of the year - 3/2/2010 4 months of summer too hot but rest of the year is great.[read more...]
Life outside Vegas - 8/24/2009 There seems to be a lot to do in this suburb of Las Vegas but the people here are definitely not as friendly as back in Florida. If you can put up with the heat it isn't a bad place to live but make sure your kids are grown first.[read more...]
Hot & Toasty - 7/20/2009 If you are part lizard and love the heat, then this is the city for you. With Las Vegas as your closest neighbor there is plenty to see and do.....but you better like it HOT! Summertime is hot(triple digets) every day and it is quite warm in the evening as well (low's around 85). It almost never snows here and rain is very rare and very little of it.[read more...]
Seven Hills in Henderson - 2/3/2009 I love Seven Hills which is a master planned community in Henderson, Nevada. There are plenty of clean walking trails (if you are an out door type) and crime is relatively low. I would like for the air quality to be a bit cleaner but considering the amount of people who have moved here in the last few years, it is still pretty good. The weather can be a scorcher, especially in late June lasting until September.[read more...]
Henderson Offers Affordable Living - 12/7/2008 Henderson, Nevada just minutes from Las Vegas offers affordable living.[read more...]
Education is a Nightmare - 11/18/2008 The education system in Southern Nevada is a total nightmare, I would rather starve so I can send my child to private school.[read more...]
Great Place to Live - 10/5/2008 I've lived in Henderson for the last four years and I've nothing to complain about. If you can stand the heat during summer (110+) and the cold during winter then you'd enjoy living here.[read more...]

Developments in body armor over the last thirty years are numerous, but very few actually have revolutionized the industry. The last two major developments were the introduction of Kevlar and Spectra products which significantly lowered weights compared to ballistic nylon. Now, Pinnacle Armor presents a revolutionary technology called DRAGON SKIN®, the first practical, FLEXIBLE BODY ARMOR that defeats rifle rounds.
Pinnacle Armor was founded by a noted inventor and author in the field of ballistic armor, Murray Neal. Mr. Neal has relied on his combined expertise of ballistic sciences and field experience to achieve a quantum leap in technology-the first flexible body armor that defeats rifle fire. Now you can wear armor that flexes and molds to the contours of your body and allows for greater coverage than a rigid 10" x 12" plate which is the typical coverage offered in current technology.
SOV™ flexible armor is completely fabricated in the USA for American Special Forces, Police Tactical Teams and approved foreign militaries.
Unmatched in its capabilities, the SOV™ flexible body armor system provides the following benchmarks never before established in body armor development:
Pinnacle's Dragon Skin® technology's (Flexible Body Armor) vest has the lightest weight for the ballistic and fragmentation protection capabilities provided. No other technology has the protection (coverage and impact capabilities) that the SOV/Dragon Skin® technology provides.Less Weight = Greater comfort + Increased Mobility = Increased Soldier Survivability.
Pinnacle's SOV/Dragon Skin® technology can sustain greater amounts of impacts than current monolithic ceramic plate technologies affording increased soldier survivability.Increased Hit Capability = Longer or Multiple Mission Soldier Survivability.
Pinnacle's SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has demonstrated 45-52% reduction in average back face deformation reduced trauma to the body. This means the wearer can take multiple hits on the vest and keep fighting effectively. This aspect, by itself, is incredibly important, especially in urban warfare and CQB (Close Quarters Battle) scenarios.Less Trauma = Soldier Mission Sustainability.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has flexible mobility. This flexible mobility increases the comfort and mobility of the wearer. The flexible configuration of the discs allows the wearer to move with greater ease decreasing the level of energy required to move.Less Energy +Greater Comfort = Less BTU's = Cooler Soldier.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has substantial durability compared to the monolithic ceramic plate technology.Less Subject to Damage = Longer Service Life = Less Life Cycle Costs.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has demonstrated reduced edge affected zone increasing effective area of coverage provided by the ceramic discs.Increased edge hit capability = increased protection.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has offers vastly greater amounts of coverage options. It is the first body armor system that can be tailored to be mission specific up covering the entire torso. This is especially needed in a heavily IED laden battlefield.Greater Coverage = Increased Soldier Survivability.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology has shown to eliminate ricochets' from obliquity/angled shots up to 60°. The rigid plates have ricochet shots starting at approximately 35°. This too increases soldier survivability by reducing the probability of one soldier being shot and the projectile ricocheting off him and into the next soldier injuring or fatally wounding him/her.Reduced Ricochet = Less Collateral Injuries.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology is tailorable for both male and females to the 97 percentile. It can be used not only in a tactical configuration but also in concealed variants for both genders.Greater Tailorability = More Soldiers Provided Adequate Armor Protection.
The SOV/Dragon Skin® technology defeats the compendium of projectile threats faced world-wide as threats to our military, not just regional threats per engagement. Our military is deployed world-wide and so too their armor should be able to defeat all known projectiles within a specific threat category at muzzle, not just a select few.Increased Projectile Diversity = Less Costs for Multiple Threat Resistant Systems = Fewer Dollars Spent for D.O.D.
SOV™ Concealable with standard SOV-2000™ front coverage
Lighter weight, flexible coverage offered where rifle coverage is not necessary. This ultra-thin flexible coverage includes resistance against armor piercing handgun, shotgun slug, fragmentation, and full puncture/thrust resistance all in one.

The Food and Drug Administration has been flooded with claims of harmful side effects by people who've consumed energy drinks. The latest report claims Rockstar caused 13 people to be rushed to the hospital (in the past 5 years).
Earlier in the week, 5-Hour Energy made headline for being linked to 13 deaths and 33 hospitalizations. Monster Energy Drink was one of the first to get a barrage of negative publicity. The FDA said Monster could be responsible for 5 deaths.
That leaves Red Bull and Amp Energy waiting for the other shoe to drop. The FDA is preparing reports on both these drinks.

KAYSVILLE С History, safety and community were concerns that surfaced repeatedly at a public hearing Aug. 21.
A large contingent of Fruit Heights residents joined their Kaysville neighbors at the hearing, held before the Kaysville City Council. The hearing was held to consider vacating the eastern-most portion of Kaysville's Center Street where it reaches Fruit Heights' Country Road.
"Kaysville holds all the cards" in the debate, said Fruit Heights Mayor Todd Stevenson.
Fruit Heights has already paved Country Road as far as is possible, and can only connect with Kaysville's Center Street with that city's agreement.
Though the land in question is entirely in Kaysville's boundaries, Fruit Heights city officials have offered to pay for the improvements because having the road complete would improve fire and ambulance access, which it contracts for with Kaysville. It would also reduce traffic in other congested areas, including the neighborhood surrounding Burton Elementary.
Whether or not to connect the road has caused a "nasty rift" between neighbors, he said, and this is a chance to make it go away, to put aside anger and frustration and allow the community to heal and forgive. Five years ago, Fruit Heights sued Kaysville to have the road opened. The issue is again being discussed because of Kaysville's proposal to vacate the road, which would turn the land over to adjacent property owners, taking away the city's right to develop it.
At the start of the hearing, Mayor Steve Hiatt said the debate over opening the road or leaving it closed was older than he is. Indeed, many who addressed the council spoke of the history relating to the parcel of land.
"When I moved in 35 years ago, I was told the road would be opened in six months," said Richard Tew of Fruit Heights. "I can't think of one good reason not to open that street. There might be more traffic in front of our house, but that's OK if it benefits others."

State Theater
807 Washington Street,
4 people favorited this theater
This historic balconied theatre in the center of Stoughton recently functioned as a cinema pub, but with the bulk of the seating intact. Recent popular hits played here, generally for one or two week runs.
It closed December 2, 2007 and is now waiting for someone to buy the theatre and hopefully re-open it as the State Theater.
Recent comments (view all 32 comments)
I walked by this theatre yesterday. The marquee is blank, and the lobby is full of trash and debris. Whether that indicates an active construction project, I don't know. A policeman standing nearby said the theatre was recently sold, but he didn't know any more details.
The adjoining storefront to the right of the theatre entrance is vacant and appears to be undergoing construction.
According to this article from the Brockton Enterprise, this theater has been purchased by a local businessman with the intent of renovating it and using it as a performing arts center. There are also four photos, two exterior and two of the exterior with the newly restored Italian granite facade.
I never did get to the Cinema Pub when I lived in Randolph. I regret that now, as it seemed like a decent place. Well, cest le vie. I'm guessing this theaters movie-showing days, one way or the other, are over now.
As the State, this theater opened apparently in Dec. 1927. The 1927 Film Daily Yearbook lists one earlier movie theater in Stoughton, the Orpheum, seat count not given, open 6 days per week.
Here are some of my photographs taken inside the theatre this past weekend: http://tiny.cc/lzrkn
The theatre is in the process of being restored. For more information, please visit: http://www.stoughtonstatetheater.com/
An article about the efforts to restore and reopen the theater: View link.
The Quincy Patriot Ledger of Wed April 20 had an article "Stoughton Projects get a Closer Look" about a meeting which took place on Tuesday covering the reopening of the State Theatre and the reopening of the closed-up Stoughton railroad station. Those at the meeting were able to tour the theater. The article states that the STARS group is "using the theater and staging productions there now." I don't know how true that statement is.
Commended for showmanship in this 1930 trade article, with exterior photo at bottom of the page: archive
The Quincy Patriot Ledger of Feb. 25, 2013 has an article "New Group Making Bid to reopen State Theatre" by Teresa Franco. Apparently, the Save the State Theatre group has morphed into the Friends of the State Theatre. (note how these groups use the old original theater name). The Friends has recently signed a 20-year lease with the building owner, C&V Realty Trust. The lease calls for no rent, in exchange for renovating the theater. They have a budget of $2M. The Friends group has 18 members, including the Little Theatre of Stoughton which gave the final performance at the theater in 2007. The Friends is led by town Selectman John Stagnone.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- One day after signing a four-year contract extension with the Green Bay Packers, guard T.J. Lang got an earful from his teammates.
Center Jeff Saturday joked that Lang had to hire an armored truck to haul around his newfound loot.
Lang took the good-natured razzing in stride, noting that his camaraderie with his teammates was one of the main reasons it was so important for him to stay in Green Bay.
The new deal was a reflection of the maturity Lang has developed on and off the field over the past three seasons.
A fourth-round pick out of Eastern Michigan in 2009, Lang started only three games over his first two years in the league. In hindsight, he acknowledges that he simply wasn't dedicated enough.

5 Stiches Later...I am Awesome
I don't do well with needles.
I don't do well when people take blood out of my body.
This time was no exception.
I fainted while the doctor was taking the blood (99% because of nerves and irrational fear of needles). But she had me sitting in a chair, and I fell out of it. And hit my head on the bed I should've been in, followed by the tile floor. And came to with a massive headache and blood everywhere and totally confused saying "Where am I? Where am I?" in English.
The people at the blood lab made me go to the hospital. They moved my car to their parking lot and drove me in one of their lab trucks. We called Alexandre on the way. I had the car, so he took a taxi to meet me there. They didn't take me to his hospital, but to the one that is covered under my insurance here. The problems came not from drawing the blood, but from hitting my head so hard. I was having sharp pains in my neck and head, so they took x-rays. Everything seems Ok. So then they decided to put stitches in the big gash that I acquired on my forehead. But because of its positioning, they decided to call in the plastic surgeon, to have him do some nicer, more difficult stitches.
The plastic surgeon is one of my students at the school. I just had class with him last night. So needless to say, he was a bit surprised to see me. He made some jokes with me and Alexandre, like "good thing you're okay! Don't want to lose my English teacher!" and he let Alexandre watch while he did the fancy stitches, and he explained the process to him step by step.
5 stitches later, I'm home in bed with a really stiff, sore neck. I also have a black eye that's more blue than black and that looks like a really bad 80's makeup job that won't come off. And I've got some random bruises all over from the fall. And as a result of my fear of one needle, I had to get like 6 more over the course of the day. And did I mention my neck hurts?
Alexandre's here with me, feeding me McDonald's ice cream, keeping my ice pack up-to-date, and giving me pain meds. I canceled my classes for the day so I can lay down and complain a bit.
No pictures-- I look a fright! But I thought you'd all enjoy the story.
6 comments:
SO SORRY! That sounds horrible! I'm glad you're all right. The people drawing blood should know better. You told them you have problems with needles? Always lay down. Other than the horrible circumstances the story was delightful. Especially the part about your student, and Alex watching him stitch you up. Feel better! Hope your neck and head heal super fast. Love.
ReplyDeleteOuch! I sympathize as I've fainted a few times in the past. Here's some tips from a veteran fainter to avoid future drama. Always eat well before hand to the extent possible (assuming you don't have to fast). Drink lots of fluid (I try to do two big cups an hour or so before). Explain you've fainted in the past, and you probably won't have to ask to lay down, they will insist.

I have had a pretty good look at the main serious Web-based hosted SFA and CRM solutions. Salesforce.com, Netsuite, SugarCRM, EBSuite CRM. They are all very similar and probably very appropriate in many situations.
However my opinion is that none of them are intuitive and in a sales situation none of them are fast enough. There are too many clicks for the bread and butter task which is
- get the customer history on-screen
- identify the contact - or record a new one
- record the call,
- send a mail
- schedule the next call.
The user is buried in a sea of leads, opportunities, tasks, timetables, cases, quotes and projects. Each with its own list and its own update form. Of course most of this doesn't get used, but it does clutter up the screen something rotten.
In the end I wrote a system for my own use and have rolled it out to a couple of clients where we could integrate it with the web site functions so that transactional data is included on the customer screen.
The objective was to be as simple and intuitive as possible. You won't recognise it as the same animal as the market leaders I listed above, but for me at least and my telesales person it seems to work very well at the core task.
There is a demo at http://sales.textor.com
Obviously it needs development and probably money to take it any further. Here is my question. Is there an opportunity here? Should I think about taking it further? And (gulp) does someone in this august body feel they could contribute and would like to work with me on this?

I think the opportunity is certainly there. It's just a matter of choosing an appropriate target market and promoting it accordingly.
It may also be a good idea to look into possible integration with accounting software? ..just food for thought.
Well, I think it all depends on who you want to target and how.
I hope tha above help. However if you would like to discuss things further feel free to contact me on 07712255379. I'll be happy to help if I can.

I think the issue here Textor is like looking at the capabilities of Word and saying you only want to type a letter.
Also important is to realise that Customer Relationship Management is what it says on the tin - having evolved from systems designed to manage customer information, and a company's relationships with that customer. And that can be quite a long way removed from either Sales Force Automation, or indeed new developments like Sales Management systems.
You might find some of this debate interesting - http://www.modernselling.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=41 - or even a look through a rather more extended list of CRM type suppliers already on the market here - http://www.modernselling.com/business-directory-sales-team-suppliers/technology/software-services-crm.aspx. There is a variety of more and less complex stuff, including integrating with accounts etc. as Denis was suggesting (and that is a trend in medium and larger companies).
You might still have a shot, because lots of CRM implementations are failing, not least because sales staff are swamped with input requirements which are irrelevant (to them) and time consuming. But have you got much further than a kind of basic Outlook function? And, if so, what exactly is the added value that prospects will perceive?
Hope that helps - Neil
Actually if I just want to type a letter, Word for Windows is easy. I don't have to go to a menu and select 'letter', then go to a list of addressees and find the one I want and if there is no record create one, and then select the letter format I want to use and then select the type of greeting I want to use from a drop down list, and so on and so on.
No. I just type.
If we could make SFA applications as simple as Word we would really have cracked it. My dream.
I did say in my post "They are all very similar and probably very appropriate in many situations." I have never thought of my system as a CRM system (although it has been pressed into this role). Theoretically SFA and CRM should be the same, at least to existing customers. But the fact of the matter is that sales staff are incentivised differently and work differently. If a prospect calls the last thing they want to hear is 'Just a moment while I struggle with the computer'. (Neither does a customer but we live with it don't we).
I have met with people using these SFA/CRM systems for sales and the picture is often that the sales people in the field have their old rolodex and scraps of paper and then they type bare minimum into salesforce.com so that management can produce their reports.
This is not how it should work.
Sales people need a tool which is slick and simple. You might say (and I couldn't possibly comment) that really really good sales people have a low attention span and low patience theshold for technology. The guy/gal flicking his/her fingers while the computer screen refreshes is the person I am after. He/she is impatient to get on with the next call because time is money.
I taught my telesales person how to use our system in about 30 minutes. She got straight into it and it works like a dream. I just don't see her getting into salesforce.com as quickly.

text: In the conclusion of a three-part story arc, public anger over the shooting that left three homicide detectives seriously wounded and the killer at large results in an ultimatum: Either Homicide solves the case within 48 hours, or it will be turned over to another department. Making matters worse, the cops may have the wrong man in custody when they catch up with the suspect, and the recovery of wounded detective Stan Bolander (Ned Beatty) is progressing painfully slowly. On a more positive note, Russert (Isabella Hoffman) and Howard (Melissa Leo) finally agree to settle their differences and work in harmony -- or at least try to do so. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

the Orange County Transit Corridor Agency (TCA, a state agency) wants to build a toll road whereby the road will go through the middle of the San Onofre State Beach Park and have many bridge footings in the stream that feeds sediment to Trestles. We beat them in 2008, but they are back. Recently, the TCA said the road construction would provide more than 13,000 construction jobs to Orange County. This "fact" was used to directly state this is the reason this route must be constructed. However, when pressed hard by a local council member, the TCA begrudingly admitted the other alternative routes would also provide more than 13,000 construction jobs. I'm really worrried about them this time around. Jobs are scarce. The California and US economies are in shambles. People are frightened. Nonetheless, here we have a world class surf break and a beautiful park that 4 generations of families have enjoyed camping and surfing. If you are at all inclined to Save Trestles, please do. You can get more info here:
By the way, for those that are not paying attention: The Hurley Pro event that (was) is the subject of this thread is being held this week at the very Trestles that is in danger (see viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17795).

Amazingly, a recent study by CoreLogic reports that despite record low rates for the past few years, a majority of American homeowners are still paying far too much in interest rates. The study states that 69 percent of homeowners are paying between 5 and 6 percent on their mortgages and a third are paying more than 6 percent.
Some feel that this will create another refinance boom once jobs and the economy improve, while others think that this is not news worthy. If the economy improves, rates will inch up, negating the benefit to some. If the economy stagnates or worsens, they may still be unable to take advantage. Regardless, this study offers some insight and issues worth exploring.
First, a number of these homeowners are unable to refinance due to late mortgage payments, bankruptcy, or other credit issues. While this may prevent them from refinancing today, as time passes and they reestablish on time payments, they should be eligible. In certain cases, homeowners have been able to refinance and buy a home as early as one year out of bankruptcy, even in today's stringent lending environment.
Next, a portion of these homeowners with high rates are simply unemployed or under employed. Without adequate income to satisfy lender debt ratio guidelines, this segment is forced to endure higher payments until they are eligible. Some opt for loan modifications, but that stains their credit score . Unfortunately, most loan mods are temporary and once the payment reverts, they find themselves in trouble again.
Sadly, there are still con artists masquerading as loan modification experts. The trusting homeowner is usually removed from their cash and left in a worse situation. Moreover, some lenders are still incorrectly advising people to stop making mortgage payments as "that is the only way to get help." This is simply untrue. The only guarantee with this action is that your credit will be ruined. Loan modifications are done on the inability to make payments and reasons accepted are job loss to simply losing overtime, if that was a substantial part of your income.
Another reason why so many are still paying a high rate is that they are constantly hearing that banks are not lending. No one is lending as they were 10 years ago when all one needed was a pulse to qualify. However, most lenders are inundated with loans and actually hiring to handle the demand. What I am witnessing is a sad trend where some loan officers and lenders are unwilling to work the loans that require extra effort. I guess it is easier to say "No" than to invest time into reworking a file several times.
Others, focused on commission, ignore the smaller loans and the loans that require more work. My guess is that a number of borrowers were told that they can not be helped by one or two lenders and simply accepted that as fact. John Acton, a loan officer with 20 years experience, estimates that over 80 percent of his clients were told No by several lenders, yet he is approving them. "It takes experience and patience to rework a loan over and over. Understanding Fannie and Freddie software and guidelines is key. When I bring a client to settlement after he was told "you don't qualify" by several lenders, they not only save a lot of money, they tell their friends. I have never been this busy!"
Finally, those with no equity finish out the people with higher rates. HARP, currently under Senate review for more tweaking, is helping a lot of homeowners. A reader shared his situation with me along with the loan officer's comments. It was a clear example of a loan officer that is woefully misinformed or simply untrained. Nealy four months into a refinance and still not settled and the reasons, while humorous to me in their attempt to buy time, we're clearly unappreciated by the borrower.
If you are in that 69 percent that is paying a rate over 5 percent, do not give up. There are many lenders offering great service and results. If you are unemployed, you will have to wait, but I still suggest contacting a competent loan officer to gain advice on the steps to take so you are ready to pounce once employed. Same advice to those with credit blemishes - obtain the advice and time frame for your situation. Persistence pays, so with rates this low, it is an endeavor worth enduring.
