After publishing a book, I got a call from my agent telling me that I needed to create website. I was shocked. Why did I need to create website? After she told me the long list of reasons why I needed to do it, I started to look into all of the website builders. They looked way too complicated and thats when I began to panic.
I talked to a few fellow writers that had really good looking websites and thats when I discovered a easy to use website builder to help create website. This was a great website builder because there was no need to know HTML. There were hundreds of templates for me to choose from, which is what I really loved.
All of the previous website builders gave me a very generic looking template that had books on it. Even though I was a writer, I wanted to create website that was more personal for my genre and this was the website builder that allowed me to do it. It was absolutely a breeze to use and it allowed me to create website that I could interact with my fans with.
Throughout the pages of my website, I had an intro, a page about the book, a page about me, a page about special events, and a page that had all of the ordering information. Each of the pages had a similar look to them and I didnt have to spend a lot of time on the design. When I used the website builder to create website, the templates took everything into consideration.
BlueVoda is an easy website builder and it allowed me to create website that I could be proud of. Plenty of other writers had great looking websites and I knew that I needed one that looked at least as good so that I could grab the attention of readers. Im proud to say that I was able to create the website without the help of any professionals and many readers have since complimented me on how easy it is to navigate through my website.
Each page took me about 5 minutes to complete. I already knew the information that I wanted on each page, so it was a matter of choosing the font colors and sizes. There was a great preview mode on the website builder so I could see what each page looked like before I actually published it to the internet. I could go in and make a few edits and then see how it looked so that I knew what the site would look like to anyone who happened upon it.
After I was happy with what the pages looked like in the website builder, I was able to create website that could be seen by everyone. I hit publish and it was live within a few minutes. Suddenly I knew why people were boasting about this website builder. Many of the website building people I talked to quoted me high prices and told me it would take two to three months to launch my site and this is not something that my agent told me I could wait on.
Having to create website on my own was not something I was looking forward to, but BlueVoda as my website builder made it so easy. The entire website took me about 45 minutes to build, which included all the pages that I needed. I have never learned HTML or any of the other computer languages and I didnt need to know any of them to create website. The website builder walked me through everything and even had some tutorial videos so I knew exactly what to do.
Im not one of the most tech-savvy people that are out there, so when I could create website that looked good, I knew that this was a great website builder. I called my agent a week after she told me to get a website and gave her the website address for her to check it out. She was very impressed and immediately gave the address to the publisher to include on my book jacket.
I now have all sorts of promo materials pointing to my website that I made and its something that Im proud of. Im almost as proud that I could create website as the fact that I could write a book. I now recommend this website builder to everyone who needs a great looking website in a short period of time.

An ultrasound exam is also called a sonogram. There are several different types of exams that can be done using ultrasound. It is used to examine various organs in your body (bone and bowel being the exception). Soft tissue and some blood vessels can also be seen.
The most well known use of ultrasound is for pregnancies. Families are welcome in the scanning area after the sonographer has taken the necessary pictures and measurements of the baby. If possible, a Polaroid photo of the baby will be provided at the end of the ultrasound exam.
- Each type of study requires different preparations, for example, fasting, non-fasting, or filling your urinary bladder. Your physician's office will give you the necessary prep for your specific study.
- If someone accompanies you, there is a waiting room for visitors in the Diagnostic Imaging Department.
- If you are pre-registered for your exam, please report directly to the Diagnostic Imaging Department, located on the main floor of the hospital, at your scheduled time.
- If you are not pre-registered, please report to Registration, on the ground floor of the Ambulatory Care Center, 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.
- If you have questions or are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, call Central Scheduling at 607-798-5723.
What To Expect
The examination is done using high frequency sound waves, like sonar used on ships. You cannot hear or feel these sound waves. There is no x-ray radiation involved.
The sonographer will first apply a gel-like substance on your skin over the area to be examined. For this reason, you may be asked to wear a hospital gown.
While scanning, the sonographer uses a probe called a transducer. This piece of equipment is hand held and is guided over the area to be examined. The gelatin substance helps keep contact between the skin and the transducer. This procedure is usually painless.
Getting the Results
After your examination is completed, the radiologist will give a report to your physician. Contact your physician to discuss the results.
Where to go.
For information on where to go when you arrive for your appointment, visit our Where to Go page.
For additional information about Diagnostic Imaging services at Lourdes, call 607-798-5225.

Some 3 km from west from the town of Tomohon, or about 28 km from Manado is the village called Woloan, which has become famous for its industry in traditional knock-down houses that can be transported and re-assembled anywhere in the world. These are not dolls houses or souvenirs, these are actual houses to live in.
Orders have arrived from as far away as Argentina, Norway, Poland, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and the United States, and of course domestically from Jakarta and Bali . The village is a favorite stop on any tour to Tomohon, and a number of orders have actually come from tourists.
Woloan, located in the district of Minahasa, is a pretty village surrounded by Mt. Mahawu, Mt. Masarang and the very active Lokon volcano. The weather is cool and can become pretty cold at night.
Along the main street of Woloan is a display of various houses that visitors can enter and admire and even order on the spot. The houses are built by skilled local carpenters using traditional methods and hard wood, so that houses are sturdy and well built, but can still be easily knocked down for reinstalment elsewhere.
They are a wonderful asset to have in a large garden offering that rural feeling. They have been used as chalets, gazebos or bungalows in beach resorts.
The traditional Minahasa house is built on pillars and stands 3 meters above the ground. There are typically a pair of stairs in front and at the back of the house, one on the left and the other on the right leading to the main door. Interested buyers can either take the one chosen from those displayed, but houses can be customized according to the buyer's wishes.
A typical 112-type house has a terrace, a living room and three bedrooms, each 3.5 by 4 meters. There is no kitchen nor bathroom but these can be added and made to order. The house has 19 glass windows and 6 doors. Construction of a house normally takes 2 months for 8 men to complete.
The supporting beams are said to be made of iron wood, the walls are from cempaka wood and the ceiling is nantu wood. While the roof is supported by iron shafts. All woods are imported from neighbouring Gorontalo and Central Sulawesi regions.
Unlike other parts of Indonesia, the Minahasans donot believe in putting tiles on the roof, based on the belief that since tiles are made of soil and soil reminds one of death, therefore they do not belong on the roof. Roofs are therefore normally made of corrugated iron or natural fiber.
To transport and re-assemble the house in another city or overseas, the costs for transportation and customs fees as well as travel costs of carpenters to reinstall the house at site are on the account of the buyer. When the house is to be built within Indonesia, this will need about five men, but for overseas orders the company usually sends its master carpenter and a senior carpenter.

Pomegranate Cranberry Recipes
Pomegranate and Cranberry Relish Recipe
Thanksgiving is in nine days, so I have a lot of planning to do. I always make the classics: mashed potatoes, candied yams, stuffing, etc. It's tradition. But I also like to get creative and throw in a few new dishes for my guests to try. I've been trotting out the same cranberry sauce for years now, which never, ever gets finished, so I think it's time for a change.
We have a pomegranate tree in our garden that gives us a bounty of beautiful fruit every fall. The color and flavor match so well with cranberries, that it just makes sense to combine them. Since this dish is more of a relish than a sauce, I decided to pair the pomegranate seeds with dried cranberries. I soaked dried cranberries in a spiced cinnamon tea with star anise and cloves (see tips). This ensures that they won't be gummy. The rest of the relish is composed of green onions, garlic, orange, orange peels, olive oil and vinegar. I don't object to the crunch, but if the seeds of the pomegranate bother you, you could always juice them and just cut back on the vinegar.
The sweet and sour relish tastes absolutely amazing with poultry. So this Thanksgiving, don't forget to prepare a few flavorful condiments besides gravy to go with your turkey. Have fun!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State men's lacrosse has been well represented in Major League Lacrosse this season with three Nittany Lions plying their trade at the highest level of professional lacrosse. A 2012 graduate, Matthew Mackrides is playing for the Chesapeake Bayhawks, while recent U.S. Lacrosse call-ups Drew Adams and Greg Gurenlian are with the Long Island Lizards.

Halliburton agrees to pay the maximum fine tied to the Deepwater Horizon disaster, but John Oliver wonders about those affected by the spill.
The Clintons remain a hot topic on late-night TV. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had breakfast with Vice President Joe Biden Tuesda y, which gave Late Night 's Jimmy Fallon opportunity to joke about Biden's dining choices. NBC is planning a miniseries on the family , which Jay Leno took as an opportunity to make another joke about the libido of the 42nd president.
In other news, with the news of talks between Israelis and Palestinians , Conan O'Brien highlighted the historic futility of such conversations. Late Show host David Letterman looked at the Bradley Manning verdict , as well, joking about the punishment mirroring Edward Snowden's last six weeks.
With news Government contractor Halliburton Energy Services has agreed to pay the maximum fine for destroying evidence in the Deepwater Horizon disaster , The Daily Show's John Oliver looked at the sum of the fine and the culpability of Halliburton in the disaster. Comparing the spill's damage to the maximum allowable fine, Oliver commented that the $200,000 is equal to "the price of four Toyota Avalons and half a semester at NYU."
Fast forward to 4:15 to see what Halliburton is doing for those affected by the disaster.

What's that, you say? You just updated to Mac OS X 10.5.8 last week with all of its security fixing goodness? That's too bad, says Apple, because there's a new security update out for OS X. Security Update 2009-004 is, as usual, recommended for all users of both Leopard and Tiger (PPC and Intel) and rolls all previous security fixes into this update.
According to Apple's security page for the 2009-004 update, there's only one major fix included in this package, and it has to do with BIND. "By sending a maliciously crafted update message to the BIND DNS server, a remote attacker may be able to interrupt the BIND service," writes Apple. "The issue affects servers which are masters for one or more zones, regardless of whether they accept updates. BIND is included with Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server but it is not enabled by default. This update addresses the issue by properly rejecting messages with a record of type 'ANY' where an assertion would previously have been raised."
Because BIND is not enabled by default, it's unlikely that you need to go running for Software Update at this very second. However, it's always a good idea to keep updated, so get to downloading already. Chop chop.

In the first blog in this series I recommended turning over your body language chores – monitoring your own body language and others' – to your unconscious mind. Here are 3 easy steps to accomplishing the second half of that – monitoring others' body language. I'll cover how to handle your own body language in subsequent blogs.
1. Decide what you want to know. This step is critical, because it's the way you get started tapping into your unconscious expertise. What is it that you want to understand about someone else's body language? Is she lying? Is she the real decision maker? Is he going to offer you the job? Is he a threat to your career? Formulate the question in a simple yes-or-no format, a choice between 2 poles. Lying or not? In charge or not? And so on.
Figure this out before you go into the meeting, or the interview, or whatever the situation is, because you're under too much pressure to pay attention and take part once you're actually in the moment. This little step – of thinking ahead, figuring out how the meeting will go, and deciding the question you want to answer – will pay huge dividends in awareness as you get the hang of it over time.
2. Pose the question to your unconscious. Once you've figured out what you want to know, then sit still for a moment and pose the question to your unconscious mind. Say something like, "In this interview, I want to know is Jane going to offer me the job?" Focus your mind on that, and push out other concerns, nerves, and distractions.
3. As the meeting takes place, wait for your unconscious to let you know what the answer is. At first, your unconscious will only whisper its information to you, and it will do that slowly. You'll be uncertain about what it's telling you. But as you practice it, the answers will come faster and more clearly. People who say they have a strong "gut instinct" or "good intuition" are already listening to the messages that their unconscious minds are sending them. The point is that anyone can learn to develop this sense, just like a muscle. It takes practice, and you must go through each of the three steps.
With time, you'll develop this ability to pose questions to your unconscious mind and get the answers back more and more clearly and quickly. Until you have the expertise, don't bet on an inside straight.
Next time I'll talk about how to manage your own body language, a trickier chore.

CityMedia took home first prize at the 27th annual Knapp Venture Competition, which took place at UCLA Anderson on Wednesday evening, May 21st. The student-run event, hosted by the Harold and Pauline Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, featured five finalist entries. Each team presented their ventures in front of a panel of venture capitalists and other entrepreneurs which included Betsy and Cleon "Bud" Knapp, the namesakes of the competition. In their presentations, teams attempted to persuade the judges on the merits of the business opportunity, feasibility of the model, and likelihood of profitability.
Since team formation took place during winter quarter, the competition saw 47 teams eventually reduced to the five finalists through a series of stages. Along the way, entrants were able to experience a multitude of preparatory events, such as alumni mixers and seminars.
In the end, CityMedia, an India-based chain of premium media and entertainment zones, was awarded the $15,000 top prize. Presented by Amita Bhatia ('08), Prema Sampath ('08), and Alfred Baksi ('08), they convinced the judges that India's booming economy and burgeoning class of young, affluent professionals is ripe for the development of more upscale establishments.
"They had a well-organized plan, and they presented it well," said Bud Knapp. "They were very believable, and ultimately we had a lot of faith in them that they know India."
Crazy Cart, which also won the $1,000 Epson People's Choice Award as voted on by the attendees, finished in second place, followed by Synlixir Therapeutics, Inc. in third, Perseus Medical in fourth, with Float rounding out the top five.
Judges and organizers alike expressed excitement over the integration of other disciplines and fields into some of the business plans. Perseus Medical, which introduced new technology that enhances the portability and availability of endoscopic procedures, featured Dr. Warren Grundfest, Associate Professor and Chief of Anesthesiology at UCLA's Geffen School of Medicine, as one of their presenters. Also fitting the bill was Synlixir Therapeutics, Inc., a biotech initiative which generates multi-drug "cocktails" from existing drugs.
"The medical products were excellent," noted Knapp.
Float was the only venture to be set forth by a solitary presenter, Amit Runchal ('09). His venture offered an online personal finance tool, designed to make money management more approachable for the average person.
Crazy Cart, obviously a favorite among the spectators, drew praise for its creativity. The team, led by Ali Kermani ('09), presented a new type of ride-on toy featuring several unique capabilities, such as sideways drifting and spinning in place. "Their venture was probably the most fun, the most innovative," said Knapp.
Other prizes: 2nd place = $7,500, third = $5,000, fourth = $2,500, fifth = $1,000

BT announced today that it has completed its project to install 500,000 wi-fi hotspots across London, with the launch of over 100 new hotspots along the River Thames.
The hotspots give Londoners, visitors and commercial and private river users access to the internet at locations such as the Cutty Sark in Greenwich, The London Eye, Waterloo Pier and London Bridge Pier.
BT made a public commitment in September 2011 to have half a million hotspots in place for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as part of its role as official communications services partner.
Although BT only announced the news today, a spokesperson told Techworld that the company completed the network two weeks ago - in time for the Olympic opening ceremony.
Over the last three months, almost 200,000 hotspots have been added, giving a huge boost to connectivity in the capital. Hotspots can be found in high street shops, hotel chains, independent businesses and homes, and outdoors in Westminster and Waltham Forest.
The company has also installed a public high density Wi-Fi network in the Olympic Park, consisting of 1,000 access points across nine venues, including the Olympic Stadium, the Aquatics Centre, the Velodrome and across all public areas of the Olympic Park in East London.
The company said that more Wi-Fi access is good news for commuters who have been urged to work flexibly or remotely to ease congestion and keep London moving during the Games.
"We're giving Londoners and visitors as many places as possible to get online, keep in touch, work and share their experiences of the exciting events happening across London." said Andy Baker, CEO of BT Wi-Fi.
Access to the network is free for BT broadband customers, whilst those wishing to purchase Wi-Fi vouchers will be able to do so online.

Some things just naturally go together, like peanut butter and jelly.
This summer, Francis Scott Key's original manuscript for "The Star-Spangled Banner" — America's national anthem — will be reunited for the first time with the flag that inspired it.
"The National Museum of American History is proud to be the home of the iconic Star-Spangled Banner, the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key in 1814 to write passionate lyrics after the relentless but ultimately unsuccessful British bombardment of Baltimore's Fort McHenry," John Gray, director of the National Museum of American History in Washington, writes on the Smithsonian Institution's website (newsdesk.si.edu).
"His song became our national anthem in 1931. Both the anthem and the banner are the most recognized symbols of our country and this year, the flag will serve as a lens through which we will present exhibitions, programs and special events to allow our visitors to examine American identity and to celebrate our shared culture."
The fragile, 30' by 34' wool and cotton flag long has been the centerpiece of the American History Museum. Key's manuscript, which is being loaned by the Maryland Historical Society, will join it from June 14 through July 6 in an environmentally controlled chamber.
Low lights will protect both historic artifacts, though an Institution spokesman writes that these conditions actually are a plus because they "dramatically evoke an atmosphere of 'dawn's early light,' similar to what Key experienced on the morning of Sept. 14, 1814."
Entrance to the Smithsonian, as always, will be free.

CropLife America Responds to EPA's Proposed Agricultural Worker Protection Standard
WASHINGTON, DC – CropLife America (CLA) strongly supports rigorous worker protection standards for applicators of pesticide products and looks forward to reviewing and providing comments on proposed changes to the agricultural Worker Protection Standard (WPS) released by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Feb. 20. CLA hopes to continue its collaboration with the Agency and other stakeholders in developing regulations that fully protect the health and safety of America's farmworkers, practically support farming operations and align with the scientific standards of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
As the federal statute regulating the crop protection industry, FIFRA mandates that crop protection products undergo years of rigorous testing and risk assessments to determine their potential impacts on human health and the environment before being registered for use. EPA further ensures responsible product use through strict labeling measures, developed as a result of these risk assessments, which dictate where a product can be applied; where and how it can be stored; restrictions for use; and other information on proper use. This process helps ensure that applicators use crop protection products responsibly with no unreasonable adverse effects. Registrants of crop protection products also support training programs for workers that improve compliance with requirements established by EPA, among a wide array of stewardship initiatives.
"The health and safety of America's farmworkers is paramount to the crop protection industry, and we have strived for decades to continuously improve the technology surrounding product formulation and application," noted Jay Vroom, CLA's president and CEO. "We look forward to providing comments to EPA on the proposed changes to the Worker Protection Standard and ensuring that any final regulation is representative of the ongoing, science-based advancements in our industry."
Vroom observed that much work is ahead in revising the WPS. He said, "EPA has highlighted that their new proposal calls for changes that will require significant resources from farmers, including variable buffers on some fields; mandatory 'no entry' signs on field perimeters; and mandatory recordkeeping, among other provisions. CLA will work with farmer organizations to analyze these proposals and comment on whether or not they are feasible and can make significant improvements in worker protection compared to other innovative alternatives."
The CLA president also expressed concern with the proposal's "background justifications," and commented, "While CLA fully supports updating this rule to improve worker protection, we do have concerns about some of the 'suppositions' in the proposal's preamble language, which relies on only part of the epidemiological information available in the public domain, and seems at present to accept a broad and very liberal range of estimates of theoretical harm, as well as supposed under-reporting of worker exposure incidents. CLA will be providing extensive comment on those specific provisions of the proposal."

Retired four-star general Stanley A. McChrystal learned a lot about organizational structure during his time in the military, and he spoke about it at Fast Company's Innovation Uncensored event in New York City today.
He focused on the transformation of the Special Operations forces after the failure of Operation Eagle Claw in Tehran in 1980. They created the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) so that it would never happen again.
But in doing that, they ran into a plethora of unforeseen problems.
They tried to create an "organization out of organizations," he explained, and the process exposed the flaws in the military's structure.
McChrystal presented four takeaways about what works and what doesn't work in an organization:
1) Strict hierarchical decision-making doesn't work. McChrystal explained that when they tried to work with other organizations, things kept going wrong. They didn't know how to correctly deal with people who they couldn't command directly.
"The challenge was for everyone to share consciousness and operate with 'smart autonomy,' said McChrystal. "Traditional decision-making in the military — with the hierarchy where you go down — does not work."
Shared consciousness is what works. Everyone — not just the top rungs of the organizational ladder — has to be empowered, but they must still look out for the needs of the whole organization, not themselves.
2) Information ownership doesn't work. That's when people protect what they know without sharing it with others. It's a hindrance to an organization.
"It makes you more powerful," said McChrystal. "It makes the organization weaker."
Inclusion and transparency is what works. Allowing information to flow between parts of an organization, helps formulate ideas and foster trust.
3) Organizational equity doesn't work. It's the idea that everyone within the organization is trying to make things "fair" for them in relation to their co-workers.
Having teams is what works, because it encourages collaboration and supports that "shared consciousness" idea.
"If everybody on a baseball team has a high batting average, but you lose, you lost," said McChrystal.
4) Command and controldoesn't work. Micro-managing and imposing your will over much of an organization stifles people.
Trust is what works. Without it, it's impossible to have autonomous parts of an organization.

Bill Kullbom's homebuilt mid-buck '56 Cadillac
He was on the road, southbound on Highway 61 through northeastern Missouri when he spotted it. The Cadillac was sitting in the front of a rural used-car yard . It wasn't prettyin fact, it was kind of rough, with an out-of-commission motor and a critter-infested interior. With its black and white paintjob, it looked like a '50s police car, if cops in Lewis County had been driving Cadillacs back then. But it also looked like something that would make a unique project, so Bill Kullbom pulled off the highway, parked, and found the owner of the place. The price on the Cadillac, a '56 Series 62 hardtop coupe, was high, but after three weeks of back and forth negotiation, a deal was struck and Bill called a wrecker service to haul the car back to Burlington, Iowa. Fifteen hundred dollars did the trick, he told us.
You already know about Bill from the April '09 issue of this magazine, which featured his old-time traditional, Nailhead-powered '30 sedan. This mild custom Cadillac is different in every way from that hot rod Model A, except in the areas of quality and coolness. Taste and talent is not limited by type of car or build style, evidently.
Bill did a lot of this buildup at home in the garage, especially impressive considering that his garage is 19-feet long and the car is 18-1/2. Whenever he was working, summer or winter, the garage door stayed open.
One of the first milestones in this project was hoisting the body off the frame. With the chassis out for sandblasting, and the body riding on farm wagon running gear, Bill started salvaging sheetmetal, with help from Jim Newberry, who repaired floorpans and installed motor mounts. Bill shaved the emblems from the hood and decklid, and removed the side medallions and script, door handles, and side mirror. He retained the hood ornament, louvers, and vents, and the shiny trim pieces that are part of the car's class. Ball's Rod & Kustom provided a power window system for the replacement glass from Auto Glass Masters. A Cadillac requires more paint than a Corolla, but Toyota Red Mica never looked better than it does here, shot by Wyatt's Body & Frame.
When the chassis came back, it was rebuilt with stock suspension components. The car was lowered just enough by cutting a coil from the front springs and adding Eaton Detroit 3-inch drop springs in the rear. Bendix 12-inch drum brakes at all wheels, equipped with a Godman Hi-Performance booster, stop the 4,500-pound car.
It's hard to find a '56 Cadillac not wearing '56 Cadillac wheel covers (unless they're wearing '57s) so it's almost startling to see this mildly modified car rolling on something as far from ordinary as 17-inch Boulder solids from Colorado Custom. That choice eliminated the typical wide white tire option in favor of 255/50R17 Nitto NT450 radials. The combination gives the car an edge that sets it apart.
The original 365 engine suffered from a cracked head and a busted piston. Bill found its 500ci replacement in a '76 Fleetwood, purchased for $400. The donor car had retired from the demolition derby circuit, but the motor had plenty of life left. It was machined at Olson Brothers Custom Shop in Burlington, where the Nailhead from his sedan was built. The Buick isn't what you'd call dressed up. The Cadillac is, with chrome valve covers from MTS Cadillac Parts and a Caddy air cleaner, flamed by Justin Reighard. The carburetor and intake are from Edelbrock. Flowmaster mufflers were added to the stock exhaust system. The Turbo 400 automatic from the same car was rebuilt at Sunset Transmission in West Burlington. The stock rearend has 3.36:1 gears.
The interior keeps the mild custom theme alive. Jerry Kensinger at A-1 Auto Upholstery in Bartonville, Illinois, who had worked with Bill on the hot rod, covered the Cadillac four-way power bench in two-tone vinyl. Instrument Services in Roscoe, Illinois, restored the factory gauges and a Sun tach was added to the column, with temperature, oil, and fuel gauges mounted below the dash. The steering wheel is a LeCarra Mark 9 and ididit mounts support the '76 Cadillac tilt column. A driver needs A/C, and you'll notice Vintage Air controls at the far right end of the dash. It needs tunes too, and a Custom Autosound system plus MTX Audio and Pioneer speakers provides them.
According to Bill, one of his most useful tools when building this car was the 400-page '56 Cadillac shop manual published by GM, which was especially helpful when disassembling the car and removing chrome and trim pieces. Another was a cherry picker engine hoist, and he said next time he'll buy one instead of renting one 12 times.
The Cadillac's first national event was the 2009 Goodguys show in Des Moines, Iowa, followed by Indy and Kansas City in 2010it won awards at all three. Very rewarding for a low-cost build, Bill says. When he was going to shows with the Model A, people who didn't look closely often mistook it for a low-buck ride. The opposite occurs with the Cadillac. It may look high-dollar, but by taking his time and doing much of the work himself, Bill was able to buy and build this beautiful car without spending a fortunewhich is one more thing to like about it.

WASHINGTON — I miss Brody.
So why did he have to go?
The poor guy was put at the end of a rope because the writers of "Homeland" were at the end of their rope.
They had conjured a hypnotic character who was both hero and villain, patriot and traitor. Brody was still on the run, but his creators had run out of ways to reconcile their curdled Marine's poles without making the plots too implausible.
In the finale, during a scene set at a C.I.A. safe house in Iran, Brody fretted to Carrie that maybe he was, as a doctor in Caracas had said, "a cockroach. Unkillable, bringing misery wherever I go."
The talented Damian Lewis told The Times's Dave Itzkoff, "They ended up creating such a compelling, unpredictable, sad and ambiguous character who was capable of so much damage — he was able to affect story on such a grand scale. They created a monster that they couldn't quite control." He added, "The thought of having to continue to write him was too hard, perhaps," noting: "Brody's a very unbalancing force."
It's so easy to wipe the slate clean on TV. In real life, Americans must keep struggling to fathom the compelling, unpredictable, sad, ambiguous, unbalancing force, the young man on the run who sought to cause damage on a grand scale, and who has sparked a national debate about whether he's hero or villain, patriot or traitor.
After a federal judge here said in a ruling on Monday that the N.S.A.'s collection of phone data on all Americans was "almost Orwellian," an assault on privacy that would leave James Madison "aghast," a civil liberties group that had plastered a D.C. bus with the words "Thank you, Edward Snowden!" said it saw a "significant increase" in donations to expand the campaign.
Whatever we think of Snowden — self-aggrandizing creep or self-sacrificing crusader against creepy government spying or sociopath with stolen documents, as The Wall Street Journal put it, or someone who should "swing from a tall oak tree," as John Bolton told Fox News — it is absolutely clear that the N.S.A. went wild with technology that allowed it to go wild. These technological toys turn everyone into thieves.
It is clear that the balance of national security versus civil liberties is way off kilter. President Obama said he welcomed a debate on the morality of his Big Brother eavesdropping program, but he never really wanted it. He irritated some of the tech C.E.O.'s who came for a meeting at the White House Tuesday by yanking the conversation from the overzealous N.S.A. surveillance that creates suspicion of their complicity to the underwhelming rollout of Obamacare.
Bloomberg News reported that Yahoo's Marissa Mayer cautioned the president that backlash over U.S. spying could Balkanize the Internet, as countries put in place different standards to stymie surveillance. It took a passionate 64-year-old judge who likes exclamation points to finally holler "Hold it!"
"It's a wake-up call," said Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon, a leading critic of the N.S.A.'s indiscriminate scooping up of data. "Piece after piece, the government's case has fallen apart." (The old joke of No Such Agency might become No Stopping That Agency.)
As The Times's Chief Washington Correspondent Carl Hulse tweeted, Judge Richard J. Leon was nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush on the "notable date" of Sept. 10, 2001 — the eve of the day that reshaped the American psyche, sometimes in unsettling ways that erred on the side of security rather than the values that make America.
After W. and Dick Cheney ignored warnings of an Al Qaeda strike, they proliferated a mind-set that there was no step too far to protect us from that happening again, be it attacking a country that hadn't attacked us, torturing, warrantless wiretapping, spying Stasi-style on our allies or denying prisoners due process. Judge Leon wrestled with the legality of holding detainees at Guantánamo Bay and now he suggests that the N.S.A. snooping may be unconstitutional.
The government's legal precedent, he wrote in a ruling that will reverberate in Congress and at the Supreme Court, has been eclipsed by "a cellphone-centric lifestyle heretofore inconceivable."
"It's one thing to say that people expect phone companies to occasionally provide information to law enforcement," he wrote, "it is quite another to suggest that our citizens expect all phone companies to operate what is effectively a joint intelligence-gathering operation with the government."
Though the Justice Department tried to justify the mammoth hoovering by insisting on the need for speed, the judge pointed out that the N.S.A. couldn't cite a single instance in which its haystack of data had produced the needle to puncture an imminent attack.
It's always the case that technology is invented and used before its consequences are known. And it is also true that terrorists want to hurt us.
But Judge Leon struck a blow for the proposition that our moral and legal values regarding privacy are not obsolete just because some government employees out in suburban Maryland in a secretive agency with its own exit off the Baltimore-Washington Parkway got carried away with their cool new toys.

You can visit the world with your little ones while raising money later this month to help abused and neglected children in Terrebonne Parish.
You can visit the world with your little ones while raising money later this month to help abused and neglected children in Terrebonne Parish.
The ninth annual CASA for Kidz Spring Fest, "A World of Fun," is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 16 in downtown Houma's Courthouse Square.
All proceeds from the family-friendly event will go toward CASA of Terrebonne and will be used to buy supplies, train volunteers and help with operational expenses, said CASA of Terrebonne Executive Director Laci Melancon.
CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a national nonprofit organization that trains community volunteers to aid abused and neglected children in Terrebonne Parish who have been taken away from their caregivers and are working their way through the legal system.
During CASA for Kidz Spring Fest, volunteers set up activity booths representing a number of different nations. Kids can visit up to 25 different booths. Each booth will have a different activity for the children.
The festival is free and open to the public; however, tickets will be sold for the different activities. Passports will be available at the ticket booth, and children will be able to collect stamps from each of the countries they visit.
There will be food, drinks and live entertainment.
CASA is also selling tickets for its playhouse raffle. Tickets cost $5 and are available at CASA of Terrebonne, 309 Goode St., Houma; Houma-Thibodaux Spine and Rehab locations at 430 Corporate Drive, Houma, and 2000 Audubon Drive, Suite D, Thibodaux; Pelican Medical Supply, 430 Corporate Drive, Houma; and Shop and Bag, 7724 West Park Ave., Houma. The winner will be drawn at the festival.
The festival is one of the agency's two major annual fundraisers. Last year, the event raised more than $25,000 to benefit CASA's work, Melancon said.
Skipper Kornegay, a Houma resident, CASA advocate and member of CASA of Terrebonne's board, said working with the agency has made him realize just how important CASA's work is.
Kornegay has volunteered for CASA for seven years as a child advocate, taking on eight cases and 10 children. His most recent cases have resulted in two adoptions, one of which is being completed.
"You come to realize that the magnitude of neglected children in Terrebonne is just staggering," Kornegay said.
CASA is working to ensure every child in Terrebonne has an advocate on his or her side. CASA serves 75 children in Terrebonne with 42 volunteer advocates. But there are more than 60 children on the waiting list.
You can help CASA by donating or attending the CASA for Kidz Spring Fest, but Kornegay stressed that the organization is always looking for people with an interest in helping children.
Volunteers learn about child development; different types of child abuse, including sexual, mental and physical; how to write a court report; and how to testify.
After being trained, advocates are assigned to a child. They visit with their children once a month, at minimum. They also speak to everyone involved in the child's life, including biological and foster family members, cases workers, teachers and doctors. CASA advocates attend the child's court hearings, which come up once or twice a year, and write a report to the judge every six months advocating for the child's interests.
The advocate acts as the child's voice in court, acting as an independent voice for the child's educational, medical and psychological needs.
To become a CASA volunteer, you must be at least 21. You must also undergo a background check.
For information, visit www.casaofterrebonne.org or www.casaoflafourche.com. You can also call your local office. In Terrebonne, the number is 876-0250. Lafourche residents should call 446-6600.
Nikki Buskey can be reached at 857-2205 or email@example.com.

Up to two additional deer may be taken with Class RB or Class RRB stamps (one per stamp) or on a Class DT license or by resident landowners hunting on their own property. If two deer are taken on Class RB or RRB stamps, or on a Class DT license or by a resident landowner using those privileges, one of the two must be an antlerless deer taken in a county open to Class N antlerless hunting. Class DT license holders must be accompanied by a parent, guardian,
or with written consent of the parent or guardian or any other competent licensed adult 21 years of age or older.
A hunter may take no more than three antlered deer per calendar year in all archery and firearms seasons combined.
A hunter may harvest two deer per day, but only one antlered deer may be harvested per day. The first deer does not have to be legally checked by a Natural Resources Police officer or at an official checking station prior to harvesting the second deer in the same day. However,
all deer legally harvested must be checked by a Natural Resources Police officer or at an official checking station for retagging prior to hunting during a subsequent day.
Deer of either sex may be hunted statewide with a bow during the archery season. A bow, but not a crossbow, may be substituted for a firearm during any deer firearms season except muzzleloader season.
A resident may purchase only two Class RB stamps and a nonresident may purchase only two Class RRB stamps for the archery season. The Class RB or Class RRB archery stamps must be purchased prior to the opening of statewide archery season.
Only one deer may be taken with each Class RB or RRB stamp.
Deer taken on a base license or license stamp combination or Class RB or RRB stamps may be checked in any order.
Class RB or RRB stamps cannot be used for taking deer with a firearm.
Two additional deer may be taken with Class RB or Class RRB stamps, by holders of Class DT licenses or by a resident landowner hunting on their own land during the archery season. If two deer are taken on Class RB or Class RRB stamps, or on a Class DT license, or by a resident landowner using Class RB stamp privileges, one of the two must be an antlerless deer taken in a county open to Class N antlerless hunting.
There are 31 counties or parts thereof (see pages 13, 18 and 20) that require archery deer hunters to take an antlerless deer during the archery deer season prior to harvesting a second antlered deer during the archery deer season.
The annual limit for the four-county area of Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming counties is two archery deer, one of which must be antlerless. One Class RB or RRB stamp is valid in these counties, except if the first archery deer was taken in a county open to firearms deer hunting, then two deer (one must be antlerless) may be taken on Class RB or RRB stamps or a Class DT license in counties open to firearms deer hunting. The taking of archery antlerless deer during the buck firearms season is legal in these counties.
To take additional archery deer, all residents except holders of Class DT licenses and resident landowners (see page 10) hunting on their own land are required to purchase Class RB stamps. All nonresidents except holders of Class DT licenses are required to purchase Class RRB archery stamps to take additional archery deer (see license requirements on page 11).
A special archery deer hunting season is available between September 6 − December 31, 2014, to incorporated cities, towns, villages and incorporated homeowner associations. To implement the hunt, homeowner associations must submit a written request to the Director by March 1 of the hunt year. During this special season, seven deer may be taken which may include no more than two antlered bucks and the first deer must be antlerless. Deer taken in the Urban Deer Archery Season shall not apply to the hunters regular archery season bag limit. For information regarding this special archery deer season, contact your local municipal government, homeowner association or the appropriate DNR office.
All antlered deer taken during archery season on Beech Fork Lake, Bluestone Lake, Burnsville Lake, and McClintic WMAs and Coopers Rock and Calvin Price State Forests must have a minimum outside antler spread of 14 inches (ear tip to ear tip). The annual bag limit for antlered deer on these areas is one for all seasons combined. It is illegal to bait or feed wildlife on these areas (see page 12).
Hunting in the controlled waterfowl hunting area of McClintic and Green Bottom WMAs is restricted to waterfowl hunting during the early segment of the waterfowl season. Refer to the 2014-15 WVDNR Migratory Bird Hunting Regulation available in September for season dates.
A bow hunter may take small game at any time the small game season is open, except the first three days of buck season in counties having a buck season.
Archery hunting for antlered and antlerless deer is legal during muzzleloader deer season subject to all archery deer hunting regulations. Additionally, archery hunters must wear a blaze orange outer garment of at least 400 square inches during any deer firearms seasons.

Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary department for students who wish to explore gender and its relation to other axes of power: race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality. We use these concepts to analyze human experience in its bodily, political, economic and cultural dimensions. Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies covers a complex variety of theoretical and empirical scholarship both within traditional disciplines and in interdisciplinary frames in the humanities, in the social sciences and in the natural sciences as well as combinations of the three. The Department is committed to critical perspectives and bodies of knowledge that contribute to possibilities for transformation and change.
Early in their sophomore year, students interested in the major should consult the Department to plan their major. Students also have the option of electing a combined major and a minor. Areas of faculty research specialization include feminist and queer politics and ethics in U.S. public life; contemporary and historical social movements; gender and global political economy; sexuality and the state; sociology of the body, sex and gender; critical science studies of gender and sexuality; transnational feminisms; Asia-Pacific cultural studies; comparative literature and critical theory.
Complementing the Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies Department, the Barnard Center for Research on Women maintains an extensive and expanding resource collection on women's issues. Many of these resources, including BCRW's own online journal, The Scholar & Feminist Online, are available onBCRW's multi-media website. BCRW also sponsors a variety of events that are invaluable to students interested in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies.
Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies participates in a Consortium with Africana Studies and American Studies that supports the development of intellectual and curricular projects across the three fields and offers a concentration and minor in studies of race and ethnicity, with an attention to global and diasporic frameworks. We are particularly interested in relations between and among, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and nation. The Consortium is working to create models for research and teaching that contribute to new ways of understanding processes of social differentiation and that help to create new possibilities for social relations.

Tiffany Toth – Babe of the Day
We love our Playmates here at GuySpeed. With that said, here's Tiffany Toth, who was Miss September 2011 and is today's Babe of the Day.
Not only does she have an awesome, alliterative name, but Miss Toth is also a model and a makeup artist on top of being a Playmate. Looking at her gorgeous body and her exquisite face, it's hard to imagine her ever looking bad. We bet her bedhead shimmers and glows as she rises out of bed. She's just that damn pretty.
Become a fan of hers on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and her own website.

Quality over quantity: this is the unwritten law that determines which artists are invited to perform at Jena's annual Cultural Arena festival. Performers will be participating in a programme of contrasts, ushered in by a four-day theatre spectacular. This is then followed by a string of films, concerts, Sunday bills for children and various specials, in a line-up that is as unconventional as it is entertaining.
The origins of the Cultural Arena stem from a huge misunderstanding: in 1987, when Jena was still part of East Germany, the town council decided to demolish the theatre's auditorium in the hope of a newer, better building. But nothing happened – meaning that Jena was left with a semi-ruin with an open space in front of it, instead of a theatre. In 1991, however, a theatre team blessed with equal amounts of idealism and optimism began working in the ruins once more. They planted the seed of what subsequently grew into Jena's new theatre and the Cultural Arena. For more than 20 years now, enthusiastic audiences and exceptional artists have come together in the Cultural Arena to celebrate a special festival of the arts. The event, now a seven-week-long open air festival in the centre of Thuringia's second biggest city, is no longer an insider's tip, and the Arena has long been a fixture in Jena and far beyond. Headliners such as Patti Smith, Götz Alsmann, Ute Lemper, Lou Reed, John Cale, Nigel Kennedy, Einstürzende Neubauten, Element of Crime, Nina Hagen and Wir sind Helden draw crowds of up to 70,000 people each year. When you look at it like this, tearing down the theatre all those years ago was not such a bad decision after all.

LG Optimus G2 detailed in leaked pictures
Expected to be officially unveiled on August 7, Engadget has just received a handful of pictures from an anonymous source detailing the Optimus G2, strange backside volume rocker and all.
The pictures don't provide any information on technical specs, but do share a bit on how the Optimus G2 will look and feel. LG is headed the way of the Nexus 4 with the G2, giving the device itself a more rounded shape with a dark chrome bezel. The LG logo is placed near the bottom of the face of the device, right below the area reserved for on-screen buttons, with no decorations up top. Towards the back of the device, you can see the strange plus and minus switch, which we assume will be a multipurpose volume switch.
Software wise, we see that the Optimus G2 will use a white camera UI, which looks rather nice, and a fully transparent notification bar and background for the on-screen buttons mentioned above.
All in all, the LG Optimus G2 looks like a great device. We're excited to know more come August 7, just under a month away now.

In a world where decent running shoes can cost upwards of $100 and yoga classes can easily be $20 a pop, it's easy to feel like staying fit must be a luxury reserved for the rich.
Thankfully there are other options for those of us who just can't get our zen on when it feel like our money is being flushed down the drain…Here are some of my favorite free or cheap ways to be fit:
Yoga can cost over $100/ month for a membership at a yoga studio. If you have the money in your budget and find a studio you really love, then by all means do what makes you happy! But know that there are other ways…
1.) Doing yoga in the comfort of your own home can be a great way to start your day and a lot more relaxing than battling rush hour traffic first thing in the morning. Yoga dvds are great, but you can also find free yoga downloads at www.yogadownload.com for a wide variety of yoga styles. Myfreeyoga.comhas even longer yoga videos you can watch for free. For an experienced yogi or yogini, Dave
Farmar does some challenging Power Yoga Podcasts that you can listen to for free. I
wouldn't recommend them to beginners because it is difficult to do the poses without seeing them unless you know the names.
*When we get a new computer (please, IRS, send us our amended refund already!), I hope to share a yoga video of my own, but for now those sites should keep you busy!*
2.) For those who feel the yoga experience is best enjoyed socially, or those who need just need to get out of the house, there are options for you, too! First of all, if you haven't already, sign up for daily deal sites such as Groupon and Living Social. I recently bought a package of 20 yoga classes from a local studio for $20- originally $240 (gasp!)- from Living Social but I see similar packages on both sites.
Another good way to save cash while checking out different studios is to take advantage of the newcomer specials many studios offer. Core Power Yoga, which is a chain with studios in several states, allows new clients a free week of yoga, no strings attached. Many other studios will offer deals such as your first month unlimited for $30. Some studios offer reduced priced or even donation only classes certain days of the week.
Ditch the car:
Walking, biking and even taking public transport to your destination are all ways to add more physical activity to your day with spending money- in fact, you will certainly see savings in the gas money you would have spent!
1.) Biking: I have to admit I was afraid to start biking in Portland for a long time. Being forced to share a car between my husband and I forced me to give it a shot. I'm still getting used to it- my neighborhood is hilly! But it is getting easier and more enjoyable. I save about $5.50 in gas every time I ride my bike to work. It seemed like it was more timing consuming to bike at first, but I only have to leave about 15 minutes earlier than I would if I drove, and since my total transit time is about an hour round trip, I can count that hour long bike ride as my daily workout and cross that off my list! I also feel it energizes my to do this first thing in the morning and sets me on the right track.
2.) Walking: Are there places you could be walking to instead of driving? I'm lucky enough to live within walking distance of a beautiful park where I can go to read or draw, a post office, a library, a grocery store, and a whole array of shops, restaurants, and bars tucked into a cute little "neighborhood" nearby. Today I walked to the library (30 minutes round trip), and then to a beading shop and a consignment shop (60 minutes round trip). It sounds like a lot of walking, but I decided to consider it my cardio for the day, did a pilates video, and my workout quota was met! I traded in some old clothes at the consignment shop and got this pretty new workout top without having to pay anything!
3.) Public Transit: To be honest, this is the form of transportation I use least. It's often faster, cheaper, and a better workout just to ride my bike. I do enjoy taking the bus downtown though, mainly because then I don't have to deal with parking! If your destination is farther, public transportation is a great way to get a little more walking in, save money, and reduce pollution. Just be sure to bring a book!
I used to hate running. Some days I still do… But one of the things I love about running is that it can be done almost anywhere! All you need is a good pair of running shoes (or not- barefoot running is becoming quite popular!) and a bit of space outdoors and you can get a great cardio workout. During the winter, I prefer to run indoors, but as long as it is nice out I much prefer to run outdoors. The fresh air and scenery can't be beat and gives me a boost when I feel tired! Plus, I can run outside for 30 minutes when I'm pressed for time, whereas a trip to the gym would end up taking almost an hour with transit time.
For awhile I resisted signing up for races because of the cost, but I have found they actually give you so much in free samples, food, and booze (still puzzles me) that it is worth it for me to do every now and then. Plus races are a lot of fun and great for motivation! Some races will charge less for the participation fee if you do not get a t-shirt.
The tried and true… I can remember my mom working out to Buns of Steel with Greg Smithey when I was growing up. The headbands, the colorful leotards… this was the golden age of corny workout videos! Still, having a few "go-to" DVDs can be very helpful in sneaking in a workout when you are running late, don't feel like going out, or want to try a new type of workout in the privacy of your own home. They only cost about $10-$20 and can be used over and over. I have a pilates DVD that features 5 different pilates workouts, so I don't get bored and stay challenged.
The most important thing about staying fit is doing things that you enjoy! If you want to spend a few bucks on a class or gym membership that really motivates you, go for it! But if you think cutting fitness costs out of your budget will hurt your routine, give one of these suggestions a try!
