text: Store your tips in these sweet-ass tip jars #Budget#Shopping#money#storage October 19 | Megan Finley Horowitz meggyfin Like this… but less obvious and more exciting. I recently started a job at a coffee shop where the tips are divided weekly between the employees. My husband and I want to collect all my tips in a jar to be used for going out to eat, ordering pizza when we are feeling lazy, or anything else that might not quite fit into our budgeting. I want to have a tip jar on the main floor of our home, so it is easy to both drop my tips in right when I walk in the door, and get cash out when we are being spontaneous. I want something decorative, but not see-through since our main floor is all windows (showing a giant jar of cash to the neighborhood just doesn't seem like a good idea). I know my Offbeat Homies will have great ideas! Absolutely we do! Besides going literal and using an opaque tip jar, like the one pictured above — I'm thinking of using things like vases, cookie jars, various kitchen containers. I even threw in a treasure chest, because… how could I not!? Check these out… Kitchen canisters I have this canister in the smaller version and I love it. Hopefully you get enough tips to fill up the tall version of The Kind Kitchen Canister. Here are awesome rustic three-piece canisters. Related Post Keep your spare change in a pirate-y treasure chest As someone who is always making that mad dash to the door, most days the whole lot of it was dumped unceremoniously on the floor... Read more You just had to know that we were going to suggest one of these vice canisters, right? Coffee cans Of course it doesn't hurt to get a pretty, kitschy coffee canister like this one. Or use these vintage-style sugar, flour, coffee, and tea canisters. Vases Use a funky vase like the Crushing on Your Style vase in blue. The sweater vase is all kinds of awesome! I think this looks more like a container than a vase anyway. Decorative boxes I heart this tree trunk container so hard. Cookie jars Cookie jars don't have to look like cookie jars, like this one that looks more like a decorative element. Or you can get stilly and dorky with it, like with the Offbeat Empire's favorite Tardis cookie jar. Treasure chests, of course Can you really pass up an opportunity to store you cash in a treasure chest? What other suggestions do YOU guys have for opaque and alternative tip jars?

There are five fine crimes including not leaving dirty dishes out overnight. Anyone who does, it's a £1 in the fin tin! The fine tin is from the local pound shop and you need to use a tin opener to get into it. It's a great deterrent especially as we have a bad habit of splurging cash on takeaways when we have a cupboard full of food. 1 agrees Reply That's brilliant. I need to find a tin like that. Or a piggybank that doesn't have a plug in the bottom. Reply It's not a jar, but we use something we call "The Good Book". It was originally a handmade wedding gift – a friend took a pretty, 1920s hardcover book from a used bookshop and pasted scrap paper on the pages to make pockets, then stuck a dollar bill in each pocket (52 total for the first year of our married life) and tied it shut with a pretty ribbon. We decided we'd use it for "mad money" and that we would put our stray dollar bills in there to re-up on occasion and try to make it through the whole first year of married life without completely emptying the book. One and a half years later, the Good Book has $46 dollars in it, and I'm going to use some of it to order pizza tonight! It's seriously the best, most-used wedding gift we received! It would be really easy to make one for yourself. We've managed to dine out on the Good Book several times, and we always have cash for tipping delivery people etc. Plus, it looks nice and fits with our bookish/colorfully nerdy decor. 1 agrees Reply This sounds awesome! Do you mind posting a picture? please :). I would love to see what the book looks like. Reply Oh my god, I want a ENTIRE POST of treasure chests, Megan. 5 agree Reply Oh really!? That's an idea!… Reply If you're crafty (or even not very, they're super easy), you could try a diy on a cheapo vase. I haven't done a glitter vase, but it's a pretty simple looking tutorial (http://www.thesweetestoccasion.com/2012/07/diy-glitter-vases/). I think I'm going to try my hand at that one next month. I have made an enamel look vase using this tutorial (http://www.sugarandcharmblog.com/2011/01/easy-and-beautiful-enamel-painted-vases.html) as a gift. It was really easy, and looked awesome. I almost didn't give it away. :/ Reply We put our spare cash in a teapot.

Hey everyone! This week I was honored to be mentioned on not one, but two, other blogs/websites!
I had stumbled across an amazing young man on YouTube named Tony Scornavacco. Tony is 19 years old, and in the last couple of years he's gone through a physical transformation, going from the stereotypical fat kid (and I don't think he'd mind me saying that), to fit, healthy, and athletic! Now he's got his own blog, Tony's Nutrition Tips, where he's helping other people change their lives.
From Tony's site, I also found his mom Kim's website! She really enjoys geocaching! What's geocaching? Go on over to her website, Snug Harbor Bay, and find out! Lot's of cool stuff on both sites.
Now for the most exciting part! Both Tony and Kim are going to be guests on the 1 Meal – 1 Workout podcast in the next couple of months. It's going to be great!
Thanks Tony and Kim for sharing my story and encouraging everyone you meet to be healthy!

Any hopes that the recession might have made Donald Trump a kinder, gentler taskmaster on The Apprentice vanish in the first moments of the show's infamous boardroom confrontation tonight — when he accuses one contestant of condescending to another because the guy is jobless and struggling to support five kids.
"You used the word 'compassion,' " chimed in daughter Ivanka Trump, pronouncing the word like one might tiptoe around a four-letter vulgarism. "But it sounded more like pity."
Welcome to the new Apprentice, where the worst economic crash in recent history is mostly fodder for the wealthy mogul to pit stressed-out victims of the downturn against each other, in a bizarre, business-themed gladiator match offering a high-powered job to the last person standing.
Well aware of how Trump's typical largesse might look in a country nearing double-digit unemployment rates, NBC has positioned its first noncelebrity Apprentice in two years as a lifeline to floundering business-types cast aside in the recession.
That means each of this year's contestants has a tale of economic woe to accompany the usual boastful posturing. Job One for these Type-A hustlers: work hard to convince Trump — and themselves — that they had nothing to do with the desperate circumstances in which they have landed.
Local fans have some skin in this game, thanks to former real estate portfolio manager Anand Vasudev, a New Port Ritchey-raised graduate of Berkeley Preparatory School who was let go from St. Petersburg's Echelon LLC last year. (Company officials have declined to comment on the show or Vasudev.)
We don't see much of Vasudev in tonight's two-hour premiere, which is usually a good sign early on. Instead, the group of 16 participants is divided by gender and told to design a modern office space in SoHo in just a few days' time, offering lots of opportunities to trash their fellow players and commiserate about lost opportunities.
"I used to make a six-figure salary," Vasudev tells the camera in one such aside. "Now I'm making no income and living with roommates."
Such desperation must sound like the ultimate nightmare to Trump, who swaggers through life as only a man born to great wealth can. Much as he tries sympathizing with his latest crop of competitors, he has little patience for failure outside his own, leaving contestants to prove their setbacks aren't simply evidence of personal shortcomings.
In this sense, not much has changed on The Apprentice, including Trump's inexplicable, ferret-sized, comb-over hairstyle. The formula is simple: an impossible task + backbiting contestants = lots of percolating squabbles culminating with an emotional ejection.
The task itself is Herculean. Trump's business involves building gaudy, opulent tributes to his own brand in buildings across America. So how can a team of eight neophytes on a budget build an office to impress the guy who slapped his name on the Trump Tower?
Vasudev plays the game intelligently for the early going, using his real estate background to help design his team's space, but not sticking out enough to get embroiled in the inevitable conflicts. The resolution of tonight's episode leaves the series' real question unanswered:
Are any of these hopefuls compelling enough to sustain an audience for a noncelebrity version of the show?
Because, if they aren't, frankly, everybody's going to get fired.

Directors Find Value and Camaraderie
Will you attend the 50th annual Consumer Cooperative Management Association conference June 8–10 in Atlanta?
"I wholeheartedly recommend attending CCMA because it gives folks an opportunity to come together and share, cooperate, learn, and grow," emailed Lucas Frerichs, a director at Davis Food Co-op (Davis, Calif.), after six CCMAs.
Why do directors urge fellow directors to go to the national conference for consumer food cooperatives? Directors come to learn. They network, strengthen their commitment to the cooperative movement, and have fun.
"Every year the evaluations of the board training are really outstanding," said Ann Hoyt, University of Wisconsin, Madison, conference planner for over 15 years. "Strong input from directors about what they want is what makes it a timely and relevant program." Directors will have two workshop tracks.
The Thursday afternoon bus tour includes a visit to host Sevananda Cooperative's Natural Foods Market in Atlanta. With some 3,500 active member-owners and 70 paid staff, the co-op had $7.2 million in sales last year from 12,000 square feet of retail.
"It's great to meet with other board leaders and find solutions to common problems," emailed Michael Yacavone, president of Hanover Consumer Cooperative Society, Inc. in Hanover, N.H.
Ron Griffith, president of Just Foods: Northfield Community Co-op in Northfield, Minn., met at CCMA "some of the Cooperative Development Services consultants whom we subsequently engaged."
Grow the co-op movement
"It's important for us to see that big picture" of the co-op world," said Ginny Sutton, director and former president of Eastside Food Co-op, Minneapolis, Minn.
Without nearby co-ops, cooperators may feel isolated. "More than anything else, CCMA serves directors and staff by breaking that isolation, by providing a chance to meet people from other co-ops who have struggled with many of the same challenges," said Tom Strong, president and employee of Sevananda Cooperative.
As Mark Goehring, CDS consultant and former president of Brattleboro Food Co-op, Brattleboro, Vt., highlighted inspiring speeches at recent CCMAs, he recalled the electricity in the room. He said, "I'm a complete believer that co-op principles and values will help us accomplish what we are doing."
Be inspired
"It's always an inspirational experience—meeting peers who share the same values and work for the same cause," emailed Bob Noble, president of Weavers Way Co-op in Philadelphia, Penn., after three CCMAs.
Be part of another outstanding conference. Come to Atlanta.

Winning the War on War: The Decline of Armed Conflict Worldwide (Hardcover)
The Decline of Armed Conflict Worldwide
Dutton Adult, 9780525952534, 400pp.
Publication Date: September 15, 2011
Read the newspapers, and you'll be convinced war is worse than it's ever been: more civilian deaths, more rapes, more armed conflicts all around the world. But as leading scholar and writer Joshua Goldstein shows in this vivid, dramatic book, the reality is just the opposite. The commonly quoted statistic that "a century ago 90 percent of war deaths were military, but nowadays 90 percent are civilian" is based on one error in a little-read, twenty-year-old report. The truth is that the military-civilian death ratio has remained at around 50-50 for centuries. Most amazingly, we are in the midst of a general decline in armed conflict that is truly extraordinary in human history.
"Winning the War on War" is filled with startling observations, including: 2010 had one of the lowest death rates from war, relative to population, of any year, ever. No national armies are currently fighting one another-all current wars are civil wars. UN peacekeeping actually works very well, and 67 percent of Americans support the UN, according to a recent poll.
Goldstein compiled evidence ranging from the histories of UN peacekeeping missions to the latest Swedish data on armed conflicts. He tells the stories of peacekeeping failures such as Bosnia and Rwanda, but also the less heralded success stories such as Mozambique and El Salvador. In this "boots on the ground" account, Goldstein shows why global peacekeeping efforts are working-how large-scale looting, sexual assault, and genocidal atrocities are being stopped-and how we can continue winning the war on war.
About the Author
Praise For Winning the War on War: The Decline of Armed Conflict Worldwide…
"Winning the War on War reveals the greatest untold story of the past two decades-that contrary to popular impressions, war has become substantially rarer and less dangerous... This book could change the understanding of policy makers, opinion leaders, and a wide readership." -Steven Pinker, professor of psychology, Harvard College; author of the bestseller The Blank Slate

Interior Design
ConceptDraw PRO
Discover the World of Visual Communication
Office Layout Plan Design Element
In general, office work can be divided into two main processes: the concentration and the communication. The main challenge in office planning is to find a balance between these two activities, which would correspond to the type of the company. Law firms impose different requirements than trading companies, banks differ from project offices.
The best solution for concentrated work would be a separate room, while open space is more suitable for communication. A floor plan is developed from the interaction of these two extremes. Private offices, open offices and combined spaces are the most common types of work space.
Traditional office consists of separate rooms arranged along the corridor. This office scheme creates an atmosphere of privacy and tranquility. However, it is practically impossible to implement teamwork in these conditions, employees' communication is difficult and use and space is used inefficiently. This solution is suitable for companies separated into departments consisting of a small number of people. There are two kinds of cabinet type offices. The first are rooms for one or two people, so called shared offices. They are characterized by a maximum privacy, a clear spatial organization, inability to work in a team and the lack of flexibility.
The second type includes offices consisting of larger rooms, designed for four to ten people to work in them. This gives rise to a certain collective spirit, which, however, applies only to a small group of people. At the same time this can cause problems in interaction with other departments of the company. This workspace type is characterized by a relative privacy, weak team spirit and limited flexibility.
A team space is a variety of open spacing. It is an open space, which is divided by low partitions into separate areas. Intensive communication is possible only within small groups. The space is used with the maximum efficiency and flexibility, and collective spirit is high there. The lack of soundproofing and the lack of privacy are the main drawbacks of this office type.

text: I got one a few weeks ago and took it out last week. Started having soft hits, FTFire, FTE, FTFeed, etc. Figured it was due to it having never been cleaned from the looks of it. I took it down yesterday according to the instructions given http://www.castbullet.com/misc/m60.htm. After putting it back together, the bolt seems to stick just a tad when pulling the charging handle back. It seems stiffer now after cleaning than before when it was all gunky. Also, the safety under the trigger is really tight now. I loosened the screw behind the trigger and it helped some, but it of course made the trigger gropu loose. Also, the trigger pull is stiff now. Not as smooth as it was before. It only goes back together one way, what did I do wrong? Cleaned it?:banghead:

I've read many books this year. Unfortunately, I forgot many of them as soon as I finished reading them – they didn't make much of an impression. As I consider the many books that I've read this year, I asked myself, "Does one of the books stand out as the 'best book' that I read this year?"
I think the best book (that is, the one that has had the most influence, or that I have learned the most, or that has challenged me the most) this year for me has been Church Without Walls: Moving Beyond Traditional Boundaries by Jim Peterson. There is a brief excerpt from this book in this post.
One of the things that I appreciated about Peterson's book is that he attempts to understand how the church should operate in neighborhoods, work places, etc. He begins by assuming that a definition of "church" should include its responsibilities in all locations and at all times.
So, what was the best book that you read this year? (And, if you can't pick just one, you can list two or three.)

For me it was "The Shaping of Things to Come" by Frost and Hirsch.
I just started reading Church Without Walls this week. I hope to have it and another finished before the semester starts. I think I can do it!
Happy New Year.
Probably "Madman" by Tracy Groot and "Light Force" by Brother Andrew. "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge gave me some good stuff to think about (and find fallacies of logic in) and was quite inspiring creatively.
I've read so many stinkin' books this year so there are more but these stand out so they must have been the ones that affected me…I would guess?
I have read parts of Frost and Hirsch's book. I am looking forward to reading the remainding soon, and Hirsch's new book The Forgotten Ways.
I have not read any of those books. Which one of the three would you recommend over the others?
I'm not sure I could recommend one over the others. They're all quite different, and all make you think. Madman would touch your heart and historical interests, Light Force would make you want to drop everything and go out to those who need you, and Wild at Heart….hmm. Well, I'd put that last, I guess, but it's very stirring. Not sure if his logic is correct, but it's worth a read, even if you disagree.

Roberto Celedon, the Canyon Country man who plead guilty to illegally butchering animals in his backyard, was ordered to pay $20,391.35 in restitution to the county during a court appearance on Friday.
Celedon began serving his 90-day jail sentence June 26, but the county Department of Animal Care & Control sought repayment for caring for the animals taken from his property when he was arrested.
He also will be on probation for five years, and is prohibited from possessing any animals for slaughter, operating a meat-producing facility, attending auctions where animals are sold or selling any meat products.

Avinash Kaushik, author, blogger, and Analytics Evangelist for Google, is one of my heroes. And he's giving the morning keynote at SES London 2010 as well as one of the keynotes at SES New York 2010.
If you want to learn web analytics the right way, I strongly recommend that you read "Web Analytics: An Hour a Day" by Kaushik (Sybex, 2007). His thought-provoking analysis of the challenges and opportunities facing today's web analytics challenges conventional wisdom and debunks popular myths.
And Kaushik has a new book that has just been published that is entitled Web Analytics 2.0: The Art of Online Accountability and Science of Customer Centricity (Sybex, 2009). In this book, he lays out specific strategies and execution models to evolve from simply leveraging clickstream tools to incorporating the insightful elixir of qualitative data, experimentation and testing, and competitive intelligence tools.
If you like Kaushik's books, then you'll love his blog, Occam's Razor. He also has a day job as the analytics evangelist for Google. And on the swing shift, he's the cofounder and chief education officer for Market Motive, where I'm on the faculty.
I should disclose that we don't always see eye to eye. He is, regrettably, a Buckeye from The Ohio State University, while I am a Wolverine from the University of Michigan. However, I only hold that against him on one Saturday each November.
The other 364 days a year, I totally share his point of view.
As a thought leader, Kaushik puts a common sense framework around the often frenetic world of web research and analytics, and combines that with this philosophy that investing in talented analysts is the key to long term success. He is also a staunch advocate of listening to the consumer, and is committed to helping organizations unlock the value of web data.
If you want to learn how analytics has changed and what you need to do to keep up in 2010, register for the upcoming SES webcast with Kaushik, which will be held Tuesday, January 12, 2010, at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST. Mike Grehan, SES Advisory Board Co-Chair and VP, Global Content Director, Incisive Media, will kick things off by asking Kaushik some provocative questions before asking the audience to join in the Q&A. As a special promotion, Kaushik will give out six free copies of "Web Analytics 2.0" to the participants who ask the most compelling questions during the webcast!
And if you want to see what he has to say about web analytics, check out the two video interviews below. I conducted the first interview at SES New York 2008.
Web Analytics Recap with Avinash Kaushik at SES NY 2008
The next video interview with Kaushik was conducted by Bryan Eisenberg at SES San Jose 2008. Eisenberg will also be one of the keynote speakers at SES London 2010.
Avinash's Long Tail Terms, Bouncy Icebergs, and Analytics
So, run, don't walk, to the Search Engine Strategies conferencenearest you. You'll want to hear everything that Kaushik has to say in his keynote…unless, of course, he gives a shout-out to the Buckeyes.

Hello all,
I've just joined the list here and there is just excellent information.
I bought a used Montefeltro years ago with 28" and 22" barrels, custom ported and back-bored. I use the 28" for clays, never hunted but itching to try, and had some questions. Actually, alot of questions.
1. What's the 22" barrel for? Deer? If so, which choke do you use?
2. The screw-in chokes have no labels, but notches on the outside rim, ranging from 1 to 5, with 1 being tightest, which I assume to be a full choke, but what are the others?
3. Half way up the barrel, where the rib and barrel join, this white stuff grows. It wipes away easily, but grows back in a few months. What is it and how do I get rid of it? I've tried oil and solvent and neither worked.
4. Last week I wiped off the barrel with an oiled patch and the patch ended up with a slight rust color to it. Is the barrel corroding or does it just need to be reblued? It looks fine to my naked eye, but what do I know.... I usually wipe off the gun when it is handled before I put it back in the closet.
5. I was thinking of getting a M1 Super, but $800 is alot for toy. Since I have a 22" barrel and the M1 and Montefeltro are the same, is there a magazine extension available anywhere?
Thanks for the help.

Don't have a Benelli so can't answer all. Slight rust on rag is that slight rust. You need to look at where you are storing. May be too much humidity. Usually hunting guns would be limited in number of shells you can hold in mag. You need to check on that. Can end up in trouble with ranger. For HD is different. There is extended competition mag tube for M1-Practical and Super Black Eagle Models. Call Benelli USA (301)283-6981. Also have web site: www.benelliusa.com

What can be done to stop MO's meth problem?
Thu, 28 Apr 2011 23:14:30 GMT —
Methamphetamine is one of the most addicting drugs in the world and police say it's the most popular drug in Mid-Missouri.
So what can be done to stop Missouri TMs meth problem?
KRCG's Crime Tracker Team took that question to the meth dealers themselves.
People go to jail every day for meth.
"Here in rural Mid-Missouri methamphetamine is everyone's drug of choice because it's the easiest thing they can get their heads on, Maries County Sheriff Chris Heitman said.
Whether it's using, selling or manufacturing, it usually starts the same way.
"I had a buddy offer it to me about 7 years ago and it kind of just took off from there, facing meth charges Mitchell Krieg said.
Krieg recently bonded out of jail after being arrested for possession of meth with the intent to sell.
"I figured I can't beat them, I might as well join them, Krieg said.
How addicting is meth?
"It's pretty addicting. It depends what your in to, Krieg said. Anyone that likes to run around like a crazy person is going to love it. But the lifestyle of making it is the worst part."
Krieg said the money made it worth the risk of dealing with all the chemicals and possible jail time.
"It ruined my life, Maries County Inmate George Moody said.
George Moody also knows first hand what meth can do to you.
"I TMve lost a 15-year old job, the best job I ever had in my life. I lost a loving wife and a son that won't talk to me, Moody said. I lost a brand new home with 53 acres that I spent my whole life to do."
Moody is waiting to be sent to federal prison on a 5 year sentence for meth charges.
Before he goes, he wants to give this warning.
"If you're doing it try to stop and if you're thinking about doing it don't because it's not worth it, Moody said.
Both the meth dealers I talked to, said making Pseudoephedrine, found in cold medicines and a key ingredient to meth harder to get would help stop the meth problem.
"One way to do away with it would be do away with the pills, that's the main thing. I mean it ain't us that's the bad stuff, if you got rid of the pills we couldn't do nothing, Krieg said.
Any kind of help that the government or anyone can do on the pills or anything would help. If that's what it takes to stop this than something needs to be done because it's ruined my life; and I TMm sure there are many people that can sit in this same chair right here and say how it has ruined theirs, Moody said.
Moody told me once he gets out of prison he wants to become a public speaker on why not to use meth.
Right now a bill that requires a prescription for cold medicine is being debated.
If the bill gets passed law enforcement a long with meth users believe it would slow down Missouri TMs meth problem.

Asia Evening Roundup: Korea IP Jumps, Japan Sinks
For those of you in the US, Happy Labor Day weekend! And in Asia: Merry Ganesh Chaturthi. Ganesh, or the Hindu elephant god, is my favorite.
Today is macro heavy and all about industrial production in July.
South Korea:
Industrial production in July rose by 1.1%, much greater than the 0.3% consensus. So analysts started debating whether the Bank of Korea will cut rates again, sending the KOSPI Index down 0.3%. But the shipbuilders rose. Hyundai Heavy Industries (009540.KS) jumped 4.4%, Samsung Heavy Industries (010140.KS) rose 2.1%. Samsung Electronics (SSNGY) reversed yesterday's gain, falling 0.6%. The iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF (EWY) is barely changed this month.
Japan had the opposite of Korea. Its industrial production disappointed, creating dilemma for its policymakers. See my previous blog for details.
BYD (1211.HK) was Hang Seng's best performer, gaining 6% after China indicated additional policy support for the electric vehicle industry.
Investors continue to rotate out of Macau stocks. Wynn Macau (1128.HK), a subsidiary of Wynn Resorts (WYNN), led with 2% loss.
China Unicom (762.HK/CHU), China Telecom (728.HK/CHA) and China Mobile (941.HK/CHL) extended yesterday's gain, rising 3.6%, 2.8% and 1.1% respectively. The Hang Seng Index was little changed. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index gained 0.3%. The Shanghai Composite Index jumped 1%.

Extended rotary-wing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have brought the problems of "brown-out" sharply into focus. There have been numerous accidents as helicopters attempt to land when visibility has been severely impaired by billowing dust and sand. Recognizing the problem, both U.S. and UK defense officials have launched programs to find solutions.
In the U.S. the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is running a program called Sandblaster. The first phase was to conduct a series of trials to characterize the nature of "brown-out" clouds. A variety of current U.S. helicopter types were used to create dust clouds, which were then measured for cloud geometry, particle density and particle size. Data from these trials allowed cloud characteristics to be emulated in laboratories for tests of sensors such as LADAR, infrared and millimeter-wave radar.
Subsequent phases of Sandblaster moved from the laboratory to the real world. In February this year Honeywell completed a series of trials with a specially equipped UH-60 Black Hawk. The helicopter made a series of approaches to landing zones to demonstrate the system in a variety of terrain and obstacles. During the trials the pilot used the synthetic-vision system to pick a safe landing site. No actual landings were made due to restrictions.
Under the auspices of Sandblaster, Honeywell was selected by Sikorsky in 2007 to design, integrate and demonstrate the avionics processor that hosts synthetic-vision and sensor-fusion capabilities. The system integrates radar-based sensor information with terrain and obstacle information from a 3-D database.
Information about the aircraft's current and predicted flight path is displayed using advanced symbology on a head-down synthetic display. The radar sensor not only assesses the desired landing area for potential obstacles, but also determines whether the slope of the terrain is within aircraft limits.
A similar program to Sandblaster known as Low-Visibility Landing (LVL) is running in the UK. It is being conducted by AgustaWestland on behalf of the Ministry of Defence, with the aim of assessing and trialing technologies and proposals from a variety of companies. In the interim, there have been trials involving Chinooks to mitigate some of the problems by adopting faster approach profiles, allowing the aircraft to stay ahead of the dust cloud as they land.
LVL is seeking a solution in which information about the landing zone is provided to the pilot, ultimately to be displayed on head-up or helmet-mounted displays. Like Sandblaster, LVL is based on data fusion techniques, combining laser, radar or IR sensor data with a terrain/obstacle database.
Among the companies partaking in LVL is Atlantic Inertial Systems (formerly BAE Systems Inertial Products), makers of the TERPROM terrain-referencing system. AIS has evolved the initial fast-jet TERPROM system with features specific to the rotary-wing world. This could form an important building block of the ultimate LVL solution.
AIS has undertaken a number of trials in connection with LVL work, involving integration of TERPROM with active sensors, such as the BAE Systems Eagle Owl and Selex LOAM laser obstacle detectors. The company has also demonstrated the extra precision gained from using higher resolution terrain data. A series of flights using digital terrain elevation data (DTED) level 4 confirmed a significant improvement in the horizontal accuracy of terrain-referenced navigation compared with the standard DTED level 1.
In a potential LVL system, TERPROM could be used to give accurate positional data that is referenced to the actual terrain, removing map errors. It also works in areas of GPS degradation or denial. As the pilot approaches the landing area, he could designate a desired landing point, with the TERPROM system providing accurate ranging data and warning of potential hazards. Integrating terrain data with active sensors provides a complete and current picture of the landing zone prior to entering "brown-out" conditions. The system provides continuous cues in the synthetic-vision system to allow the pilot to land the helicopter.
In both the U.S. and UK particular emphasis is being placed on rapid development and affordability, so that solutions can be quickly applied to the in-service fleets.

The Michael Jackson jury has been selected, and, not unlike Jackson himself, it's two-thirds female and mostly white. And if this jury doesn't help convict Jackson of the child-molestation charges brought against him in Santa Barbara County, California, he'd better watch his back -- because Dorothy M. Neddermeyer, Ph.D., is gunning for him. Neddermeyer, an Ahwatukee-based specialist in sex abuse prevention and recovery and the author of the recently revised If I'd Only Known . . . Sexual Abuse In or Out of the Family: A Guide to Prevention, is mad as hell about the Jackson case, which she says typifies every weaselly angle that child molesters use to exploit kids for their own deviant purposes. Neddermeyer has been making her case lately with as-yet-unpublished letters to the editors of local papers, which she hopes will give any Jackson supporters second thoughts about what Jackson's been calling "these sick, dirty accusations against me."
New Times: I guess what I want to know about Michael Jackson is why it took so long to bust him on suspicion of child molestation. He's been publicly romancing boys for years. He took Emmanuel Lewis to the American Music Awards. As his date! On his hip!
Dorothy Neddermeyer: Well, for some people it took a while to get suspicious. Not me. I knew from the first that he was having relationships with young boys and that it was pedophilia.
NT: Horrors!
Neddermeyer: I know. We're all in denial about what sexual abuse really is. We're in denial about any kind of behavior that's different than our own. We're taught that we're not to be critical of differentness. That to be a good person and a religious person, we cannot be judgmental.
NT: Please. All people are judgmental. It's the foundation of our Christian nation.
Neddermeyer: We all need to learn how to be appropriately suspicious. There are some behaviors that are unacceptable, and when you see them, you have a responsibility to speak out. As long as the perpetrator isn't walking around with crazed eyes and a day-old beard and a dirty trench coat, we assume they're okay. Which is part of how people get away with it -- all you have to do today to be a successful child molester is portray yourself as an upstanding citizen who loves children, and you're in.
NT: It doesn't hurt to have an amusement park in your backyard, either.
Neddermeyer: In these Michael Jackson documentaries, he says that when he thinks of going to bed with boys, he doesn't think of sex; it's the dirty-minded people out there who make it sexual. Perpetrators are good at deflecting, and you have to remember that 80 percent of abused children are abused by family members. Nineteen percent are abused by someone they trust -- like Michael Jackson.
NT: Couldn't someone with Michael Jackson's money just hire 18-year-old hookers who look like they're 11?
Neddermeyer: But his focus is on having young boys he can control. He might not be able to control an 18-year-old. When a perpetrator has a compulsion, which is what child molestation is, it doesn't have to make sense. [Jackson] has a classic profile: He's admitted that he's a child-abuse survivor, and physical abuse often translates into having sexual connections, meaning that he becomes sexually aroused when he's being physically abused.
NT: Why is it out of the question that this is a case of some flaky rich guy being taken advantage of by opportunists who want a cash settlement?
Neddermeyer: Well, what would prompt him to be flaky in the first place? People are not born weird or flaky. They become flaky or dysfunctional in order to deal with their emotional pain. Michael Jackson, because of his money, can afford to be flamboyant or flaky in a big way. He has all that money because his parents pushed the family to work in show business because they happened to have good singing voices.
NT: Which is a different kind of abuse.
Neddermeyer: Right. I think we need to stop thinking that the child has to be penetrated to cause damage. Copping a feel, and [grown] guys ogling young girls can cause as much damage as penetration. There's no such thing as minor sexual abuse; either you were or you weren't.
NT: How about this argument: Jackson never got to have a childhood, and he's stuck in preadolescence, and just wants a bunch of playmates?
Neddermeyer: What about the millions of other people who haven't had a proper childhood who haven't done what he's done? They haven't solicited young boys as friends or been accused of sexually abusing children. If this were the case, he wouldn't be the only one. And notice he only entices young boys to his amusement park. If he wanted to be a benevolent person because he loves children, which is what he claims, why not boys and girls? Because he's attracted to boys. Boys turn him on, excuse the expression.
NT: But don't you think that there are some kids who just want to get laid? I'm guessing there are some kids that could be had for a box of Thin Mints and a dime.
Neddermeyer: But do you know who those kids are? They're sexual-abuse survivors who are acting out exactly what they've experienced. They've been sexualized prior to seducing someone.
NT: Why would any parent allow their kid to bunk down with a middle-aged man?
Neddermeyer: We have parents who are letting their kids go with him despite the previous cases because of the reverence we have for celebrity.
NT: Okay, so we're all star-struck. But if Brad Pitt came to your house and asked to defecate in your oven, would you let him?
Neddermeyer: No, but people don't want to be seen as bitchy or nasty, and certainly not with a celebrity. And there's the seduction of the celebrity: the glamour of the money and the gifts and the travel and la la la. In the case of Michael Jackson, the kids love his music, and he seduces the parents as well as the kids [with his fame]. And their common sense goes out the window. It doesn't help that we don't teach our kids appropriate suspicion.
NT: You keep mentioning that.
Neddermeyer: The truth is we need to start protecting children from sexual abuse from the moment they're born -- including from family members. Only 1 percent [of sexual abuse] is from strangers. The guy lurking around the playground in a dirty trench coat is not the main danger. If your husband is alone with the children, if he's bathing the children, dressing them, you walk into the room. Keep an eye on him. That's appropriate suspicion.
NT: You're going to have a hard time selling the idea of keeping an eye on one's spouse for signs of child abuse.
Neddermeyer: The man you married may not know he has it in him, until your child turns a certain age.
NT: And then one day, he morphs into a child abuser? Kind of like Michael Jackson morphed from a young black man into a scary white woman?
Neddermeyer: It's a direct connection between him and his abuse. He's trying to put distance between the small black boy that he was -- and he was quite dark when he was young -- and the person he is today. So he won't have any connection with that other person, the boy who was abused.
NT: I keep seeing interviews with Jackson family members defending Michael, which seems like the wrong way to go. I mean, once you have your nose surgically removed, your credibility goes straight out the window.

Neddermeyer: Well, no family believes their family member is a perpetrator. They have to believe this way; it takes a lot of courage for them to say, "What I'm looking at is very suspicious."
NT: Jackson does seem to be boasting about his proclivities. That whole "I love to share my bed with kids" interview on international television was really creepy.
Neddermeyer: Michael Jackson is flaunting it in our face, begging us, the United States and the world, to stop him. Because he can't stop himself -- no perpetrator can, because it's a compulsion. But because he's a celebrity, he might very well get out of this and not go to jail. I hope not. I hope the DA has enough evidence that the jury can't let him off with reasonable doubt.

PRICE — An Orangeville man is facing a DUI charge after a spectacular Tuesday night crash that ended with his truck overturned in the front yard of a Price home.
Chandler Gary Peacock, 22, was driving north on Carbon Avenue about 11:15 p.m. when he lost control of his pickup truck, according to Price Police Capt. Bill Barnes.
The truck drifted right, hit the curb, went through a chainlink fence in front of one house and hit a cement retaining wall, Barnes said. The collision with the wall vaulted the full-size truck through the vinyl fence of a neighboring house. The truck then hit a tree and the cement front porch of the second house, landing upside down, the captain said.
The crash did "extensive damage" to city property, private property and Peacock's truck, Barnes said.
Peacock allegedly told officers he had set the truck's cruise control at 45 mph sometime before he fell asleep at the wheel. The speed limit where the crash happened is 30 mph.
A preliminary breath test taken at the scene showed that Peacock had a blood-alcohol content of .104, Barnes said. He was subsequently taken to Castleview Hospital where a blood sample was taken for testing by the state crime lab.
Officers cited Peacock for DUI and improper lane travel before releasing him to his mother, Barnes said.

There are a few friends who tired to weather the storm, but the newfound problems we were facing were just too much for some.
I had one friend I was very close to. We were a pair! We would finish each other's sentences and call each other when we knew a favorite movie was on TV. We spent a lot of time chatting on the phone after it became difficult for me to go places. Our friendship was going along smoothly, or so this feeble mind thought, and then I found out that my family's challenges were just too overwhelming. Please do not fault the person who did this. I am guilty, too. I talked when I should have listened. I was trying to deal with my daughter's illness and trying to figure out what my options were going to be. I was not the friend I was still able to be.
Occasionally, I would call her number and try and make amends, but too many years have gone by. I miss my friend.
The positive side to all of this is that I have been able to focus on a core group of people who care about me wandering away, getting lost at Scott's or where I left my glasses.
I have a friend at St. Therese who lost her very best friend of many years. I read the beautiful tribute Pam did for Jan and wondered, if I had been able to maintain my friendship, if my friend would be writing a tribute when I die. Then I thought some more, which at this point in time is no easy feat, (trust me)! If someone feels moved to do that for me, then that person will have stayed by my side when I no longer know their name and, most important, stayed by Jim, Amy and Jamie when they so desperately needed the support.
When you think about it, what more of a blessing do we need?

"A" Huge Mailday To Become A Semi-Star!
Hello everyone, Well I recently sold my Tangradi collection since he was traded to the Jets. I decided instead of using the money for Shattenkirk I am going to treat myself to something different.
After just a short conversation my second deal with Bradenl was complete. Thanks again man, truly she is just a beauty!
The board peice is from the A in Hall its pretty obvious.
Thanks again Bradenl!

The first release of (a Perl 5 implementation of) the parser is close to ready...within a week if life doesn't "happen" too much. I also have a prototype Pod-to-XHTML module implemented, in earnest whereof I have attached a Pod-to-XHTML'd version of the synopsis. Damian PS: As a few of you are already aware, I am in the midst of health crisis within my immediate family. This is likely to be on-going for the next month or more, so please accept my apologies in advance if my response-time is frustratingly slow.

Speaker(s): Paul Mason
Chair: Dr Nigel Dodd
Recorded on 30 January 2012 at Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
Our world is changing dramatically. Social upheaval has followed worldwide economic crisis and the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is widening. In 2011, this profound disconnect found expression in events that we were told had been consigned to history: revolt and revolution. In his new book Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere which he will discuss in this lecture Paul Mason sets out to explore the causes and consequences of this current wave of struggle, illuminating the links between the economic and social crisis. He explores and analyses what lies behind the new revolutions – a volatile combination of the near collapse of free-market capitalism, new technologies and changes in popular culture, and a profound shift in our understanding of what freedom means. Looking at how new social media have impacted on how we behave and organize, Mason interviews activists on the ground and the people behind these new forms of collective action, providing an insight into the agile networks of Twitter- and Facebook-savvy young protesters supporting the viral spread ofinternational activism. The economics editor of the BBC's flagship program Newsnight, Paul Mason is also one of the most influential journalists on twitter. He first reported live for the BBC on 9/11, and covered the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 from outside its New York HQ. His television and online reports have tracked the social and economic impact of the global meltdown from the mean streets of Gary, Indiana to the elite salons of Davos.

Not to mention Dante barely speaks a word, he comes off as way too silent and sullen.
The story is short and bitter, and it had some pretty uninspired enemies.
That's how I see it from a pessimist's point of view, anyway. I personally liked the game either way.
I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubblegum.

It's pretty forgettable and toned down, but to its credit it did bring in some new things to the series that would pave the way for DMC3/4.
So without DMC2, the series wouldn't be known for what it is now.
May the odds be ever in your favor

Now that rainstorm move sounds awful to pull off. You have to do all of that just to do this one move? Good lord!
Rainstorm is shooting downwards in the air. The way it worked in DMC2, is that when you started shooting in the air, Dante would just shoot in whatever direction he was facing, so to shoot downwards you had to do a flip and then shoot when Dante was upside down. It was just awkward.

Here's this guy almost entirely meleeing TDE on DMD, it's fun to see.
Nice, he actually makes that fight look good. TDE, Bolverk(sp?), and playable Trish were the only memorable things about that game to me, it was a complete bust otherwise.

I never made the Zelda connection before, though that's because in Zelda the input is intuitive as it affects the direction Link thrusts his sword and honestly doesn't have a huge impact on gameplay other than an aesthetic flourish while with Dante, the difference between a four hit Rebellion combo and a six hit combo that looks like Nero's Red Queen Combo C is a waggle of the stick on the third hit.
It almost sounds like a fighting game. :P

DMC 2 was flawed, but still has cool stuff.
It has the funniest villain ever, Arius. I think he's one of the moest menacing villains.
His unpredicatable and dangerous attacks, the dark magic, the black hole that sucks Dante and throws him to the ground. I was scared to watch Arius jumping from one side to other.
He is even harder than DMC 1 Mundus!

Overall DMC2 was just boring to play. Nearly all the bosses and enemies could be beaten by the simple tactic of "Keep your distance and use the guns." The worst offender of this was the infested chopper battle. I remember standing still and that thing not even being able to hit me.
Dante is also his most boring ever. In most cut scenes, he won't say a word, and when he does talk, it's always in this drab tone, and something along the lines of "Whatever.". Weapons were also pretty unimaginative. (Dante gets 3 swords)
Don't bother playing it. It's at the end of the timeline, so you wont miss anything plotwise. Stick with DMC3.
Why do I even bother?
Dante was not Dante.
Guns were insanely useful compared to swords.
Weapon selection was completely boring, 3 swords that have identical movesets just different stats.
Combat felt slower than DMC1
Combat lacked any impact
Stinger lacked any impact.
Slow boring enemies. Not a single one was fast paced like the shadow cats of old.
The primitive trickster moves were very situational.
Devil Trigger was boring to use.

I've only played 1,4, and this pile of garbage. 2 and 3 I haven't touched, but I wanna get a consensus of why DMC2 is still considered the "worst' when this game out does even Skyward Chore in all of it's awfulness.
I strongly recommend you play DMC 3 .Best of the whole series thus far .

In this month's Shop Talk section, we visited Speedy's Metal Finishing of Long Beach, CA. Speedy Rodriguez has been in the industry for close to 20 years and has earned a reputation for quality work as one of the Lowriding community's go-to chrome shops.
Speedy's has a resume of cars that speaks for itself, in terms of the number of Lowrider greats the shop has helped turn out. Some of these gems include "Cruel Intentions," "Pura Vida," "Krazy Kreations," "Freak Show," "Game Over," "Scare Face," "Most Wanted 69," "Fame," "Game Killa," "Expensive Taste," "Goldie 79," "Royal Flush," "SJ Trokita," "Dirty Red," and "R/M Series," to name a few.
Speedy's shop not only installs and polishes chrome, they can also handle any trim repair you might need, and they offer a variety of different finishes to satisfy any needs. Customization of original moldings is also available for customers seeking to add more custom applications. With triple chrome show quality finish, you can't go wrong. If you would like custom chrome plating, Speedy's is capable of doing just that-as shown in some of the samples.
If you need the trim on your Lowrider straightened out, polished, anodized, gold plated or chrome plated, give Speedy's Metal Finish a call and make sure to tell him you saw his feature in Lowrider's Shop Talk!

A group of residents have got together to fight crime after they grew sick of being targeted by criminals.
After a spike in crime in Wandsworth Town a group of residents set up a neighbourhood scheme, Tonsley Watch, and have already secured funding from local businesses to help victims, pay for signage and CCTV cameras in the area.
Now every road in the Tonsley's area has a watch representative and the group will be holding events throughout the summer where people can meet their neighbours and local police officers.
Katie Scott, 37, said: "We have wonderful support from our local community police officers but they are only able to patrol once a day and so we are taking it upon ourselves to pull together and do something about it.
"There is a real peak in crime especially car crime and burglaries and lots of bikes have been stolen.
"There are some people who are elderly and don't necessarily know there is help out there for them.
"CCTV cameras are going up on every road which we are funding ourselves. People will think twice about coming in here.
"Everyone is really pulling together. Anecdotally in the last month there has been a burglary on my road, two friends had their cars broken into, or wheels taken, and reports of anti-social behavior."
Mrs Scott also reported homes being burgled whilst the families, including children, were home.
The group was initiated by Suki Copeland, whose home has been burgled, and Gemma Lippiat whose car has been targeted by thieves on numerous occasions.
The next event will take place on June 28, at St Faith's Primary School summer fair where the police and Tonsley Watch will mark up people's valuables, give advice and hand out free neighbourhood watch window stickers.

Do you want to turn your back on tradition and set a new trend with your dress? Nowadays, many brides are looking for that something different, whether because they just don't feel good in white or really want to put a personal stamp on their big day.
While white has been replaced in many cases with paler tones, cream, champagne and similar variations, now the challenge comes from bolder brides and stronger colours.
In recent years, brides are putting their personalities before tradition and choosing colourful dresses to match their own vision of what their wedding should be like.
This enthusiasm for colour is matched by bridal wear designers, who are surprising us with dresses in non-traditional colours. Black and red dresses are just some of the models going down our aisles right now, so today we're going to show you some other colours, as daring as the bride herself!
As well as the aforementioned blue and red, here are some dresses in pink, green, yellow and even gold.
