Over 70% of our body is made of it, we can't survive a week without it, and we can also learn a few lessons from it.
Here are six of the best:
1. Boiling water softens potatoes and hardens eggs. Its about what you're made of; not your circumstances.
2. Don't water the concrete. Nothing grows there. Stay focused on doing what matters most.
3. Don't water yourself down, because you'll be less palatable to yourself and cheating those who matter. Don't water yourself down, simply because someone can't handle you pure, undiluted and 100% proof.
4. At 211 degrees fahrenheit water doesn't do very much, but at 212 degrees its boils and produces steam which can power trains weighing over 500 tons. That's a change in temperature of less than half a percent. Small differences in behaviour can create huge changes in results.
5. Ships don't sink because of the water around them. They sink because of the water that gets in them. Be careful who you let into your head. And finally,
6. When life pees on you, remember the words of Billy Connolly who said, "Todays rain, is tomorrows whisky."
Journalist: Mr. Trump. Is it true that you had a fire at your home?
Mr. Trump: Yes its true. There was a fire at my house. No one was hurt, but sadly the library burned down and both books were lost. I hadn't even finished colouring one of them in.
• Apparently RSVP'ing back "maybe next time" to a wedding invite isn't the correct response.
• I just found out I'm colour blind. The diagnosis came completely out of the purple.
Live big & love deep.

Adding a panel in Nuke
Few days back I helped my friend in connecting the knobs of a gizmo to a panel that has same controls knobs, the only reason for such a requirement is that when the user selects or creates a node is selected, the properties panel gets replaced by the new knob properties, which was annoying for them as they had to modify settings from that particular knob again and again.
Here is a simplest way to check the input connections in nuke node
delete all unused nuke read nodes
This script will delete all unused read nodes from the comp.
In Nuke you can only move one node up or down using CTRL+ up arrow or down arrow either in up or down the nuke tree , to move multiple nodes selected you can used the the script below:
Move the selected nodes up in tree calling the function below.
to access these function from within nuke you can add menu to nuke like shown below:
Download the whole script here.
Extract read node from the group
So I worked out a solution to find a read node in the group, extract it and paste it outside the group and with still connected to original connection
This script will read all the nodes to list that are inside the group "grp".
Run this code given below, this will create scene node, scanline Render node, camera node and a constant node connect them together and connect the final output from the scanline Render, node to default viewer. You can add the below function to the init.py file or create a your own py file into which you place this code and then you import that file into init.py so as it can be called when a menu button is clicked from the interface.
1: def setupThreedNodes():
2: mainCam = nuke.nodes.Camera(name="mainCamera",xpos=100,ypos=20)
3: scnlnRndr = nuke.nodes.ScanlineRender(name="ScanLineRender",xpos=250,ypos=35)
4: scNode = nuke.nodes.Scene(name = 'Scene',xpos=250,ypos=-100)
5: constNode = nuke.nodes.Constant(name="Temp_Constant",xpos=400,ypos = 10)
6: scnlnRndr.setInput(2, mainCam)
7: scnlnRndr.setInput(1,scNode)
8: scnlnRndr.setInput(0, constNode)
9: defViewer = nuke.toNode("Viewer1")
10: defViewer.setInput(0,scnlnRndr)
Add it as nuke button by adding the code below to the init.py file located in the .nuke directory.
menu = nuke.menu('Nodes')
menu.addCommand('3D/Setup 3D Nodes', 'setupThreedNodes()', 'alt + t')
Fairly simple way to view an image sequence in Nuke, just execute the following line in command line:
>Nuke6.1.exe -v "c:\\test_render_starfield\\starfield_v003_###.jpg" 1 90
This will launch Nuke with just its viewer i.e without node view or properties panel, and you can play the nuke sequence
A 3d Artist might use fcheck that comes with maya, this is the same thing though some extra features.
Yesterday , I came up with method for assigning a list of items as value for a dictionary keys, so that every key has its own unique list. And all this is generated on the fly when nuke is run in terminal mode.
1: nuke.scriptOpen(target_file)
2: allWriteNodes=nuke.allNodes("Write")
3: writeNodes=[]
4: wnodeData={}
5: attributes=[]
6: for index,each in enumerate(allWriteNodes):
7: writeNodes.insert(index,each.name())
8: for wNode in writeNodes:
9: for eachAttrib in ['first','last','file','file_type','channels','use_limit']:
10: wnodeData.setdefault(wNode,[]).append(nuke.toNode(wNode)[eachAttrib].value())

Anderson Co. man charged with raping a child | Crime
An East Tennessee man is accused of raping a child.
A grand jury in Anderson County has indicted 34-year-old Noah Daris Foust on three counts of child rape and three counts of sexual battery by an authority figure.
According to the indictment, Foust is accused of raping a child less than 13 years old, over a two-and-a-half year period.

General Motors announced a series of leadership changes on Monday after weathering bad publicity for widespread auto recalls that have been issued this year.
GM said Monday that its senior vice presidents of Global Human Resources and Global Communications and Public Policy, Melissa Howell and Selim Bingol, respectively, were departing the company immediately.
Howell is being replaced by John Quattrone, who had been GM's executive director of Human Resources for Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain organizations, according to the company.
GM CEO Mary Barra, who has been sharply criticized by lawmakers, is staying put. Lawmakers were largely unimpressed with Barra's answers to questions about GM's decision-making involving the recalled vehicles in a pair of contentious hearings this month.
Barra did not make any mention of the recall controversy in a statement praising Quattrone on Monday.
"John brings to the job a deep and rich breadth of experience across all levels of the enterprise," Barra said. "This background is invaluable as we create lasting change that puts the customer at the center of how we work and how we measure ourselves going forward."
The company is coming under fire for its decision to delay recalling vehicles that were in some cases a decade old, until February of this year. The recalled cars were mostly older models like the Chevrolet Cobalt and Saturn Ion that were found to have a dangerous ignition switch flaw.
The recalled ignition part has been linked to the death of 13 car crash victims since 2005.
Barra praised the departing employees for their contributions to the auto company, even as she has promised in prior appearances to create a "new GM" that would place a higher emphasis on auto safety.
"Through Melissa's passion, the values that make up today's GM are now becoming a central part of how we develop and guide our employees around the world," Barra said of Howell. "We are deeply grateful for her dedication to GM and all that she did to help build a stronger HR function to support our people and business.
"We appreciate Selim's service and for his helping tell the GM story during one of the most exciting periods in the company's history," Barra added about Bingol.

In classic routing the destination address of an IP packet is used to
determine how to route the packet. Policy routing is an advanced type of
routing that lets you configure routing based on parameters other than
just the destination IP address. For instance, you may want to use the
source address or the port to take the routing decision. Policy routing
is only possible with the new generation network tools, so you will need
the iproute2 programs. The
route command cannot do policy routing. The
good news is the support for policy routing has been merged in the linux
kernel a long time ago, so you don't have to patch your kernel. The
support is optional, but most of the Linux distributions support it by
Since the old routing tools are still supported, it's not possible to mix the standard routes based on the destination addresses, and the advanced routes based on extended parameters. That's why you have to use several routing tables. You will have to write rules that tell the kernel which routing table to use for each network packet. For instance, you can say that TCP/IP packets having a specific destination port will be routed using a specific routing table, and that all the other packets will use the main routing table.
Policy routing requires more than one routing table. Linux-2.6 supports
up to 255 different routing tables. By default and with classic routing,
you just use two tables: the
local routing table and the
routing table. With policy routing, you will create other routing
tables. The tables are listed in
local routing table is managed automatically by the
kernel. The user does not have to take care of this table. It's used
to store all the local addresses, and it allows the kernel to know
if a network packet has to be delivered locally (on the local
machine) or if it has to be delivered to another computer (it would
be routed if it's allowed). It's the first real routing table used
by the kernel when it performs a lookup. It's used just after the
routing cache that is a special routing table.
main routing table is used for all the other addresses by
default. This is the routing table used by the
route command, and
it's also the table that is used when you don't specify the name of
the table with
ip route.
custom routing tables are all the other tables. These
tables will be used when a network packet matches the advanced
routing rules specified by
ip rule. These routing tables are
normal routing tables, they can have a default route.
routing cache table is a special routing table managed
automatically by the kernel table to improve performance. There is only
one routing cache table even if you have several routing tables
configured. The cache is where the kernel saves the results of the
recent routing lookups it makes. It saves only lookup results for a
specific IP address, it does not save routing information about subnets.
The routing cache can be manipulated with
ip route as another table.
It can be viewed by
ip route show cache and flushed by
ip route flush cache. The cache is the first routing table used by the
kernel every time it makes a lookup. It's used even before the local
routing table.
Here is an example of routing tables:
local routing table displayed by
% ip route show table local
broadcast 127.255.255.255 dev lo proto kernel scope link src 127.0.0.1
local 192.168.157.3 dev eth0 proto kernel scope host src 192.168.157.3
broadcast 192.168.157.0 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.157.3

broadcast 192.168.157.255 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.157.3
local 127.0.0.1 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1
local 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo proto kernel scope host src 127.0.0.1
main routing table displayed by
% ip route show table main
172.16.1.0/24 via 192.168.157.253 dev eth0
192.168.157.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.157.3
127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope link
default via 192.168.157.2 dev eth0
main routing table displayed by the
route command.
% route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
172.16.1.0 192.168.157.253 255.255.255.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
192.168.157.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.157.2 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The rules are used to tell the kernel what action to take for each kind
of network packet. The action is often to use a custom routing table,
but it may also be specific actions such as
blackhole. The rules is the place where we use the
advanced packet matching. Here are the parameters that you can use to
decide which routing table to use:
ip rule add from 192.168.114.0/24 table rt_table1
unreachable must be returned via ICMP:
ip rule add from 192.168.5.1 to 172.16.1.100 unreachable
ip rule add from 192.168.5.1 prohibit
ip rule add fwmark 1 table rt_table_adsl
ip rule add fwmark 2 table rt_table_cable
subcommand. Here is how to remove the last rule we added:
ip rule del fwmark 2 table rt_table_cable
The kernel supports up to 32767 rules. By default only the following rules are used:
% ip rule
0: from all lookup local
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
The rules are executed in the order, from priority 0 to priority 32767.
This means that the first rule (rule 0) is the first one to be executed,
and it drives all of the packets to the local routing table, in order to
quickly process packets that have to be delivered locally. The
default routes are the last ones to be used for the lookup. So the
main routing table will be used only if no custom route found a valid
match for a network packet. In other words, all the packets that do not
match the rules specified by
ip rule will use the main routing table.
The default routing table is empty by default. You can use it if you
want to specify routes for packets that do not match any of the previous
Be careful: even if you only have classic routing tables on your system, the default rules are important. Removing the default rules would break the classic routing, since the packet could not access the main routing table.
When you create rules, you can specify the priority just with
priority xxx. If you don't specify the priority, the last available
number will be attributed. It means the first new rules to be created
will be 32765, 32764, …
Here is the list of rules we get if we execute all the rules given in the previous section:
% ip rule show
0: from all lookup local
32761: from all fwmark 0x2 lookup rt_table_cable
32762: from all fwmark 0x1 lookup rt_table_adsl
32763: from 192.168.5.1 prohibit
32764: from 192.168.5.1 to 172.16.1.100 unreachable
32765: from 192.168.114.0/24 lookup rt_table1
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default
Keep in mind that a packet can check multiple routing tables, each routing table can have multiple routes. So in case no route matches in the first routing table, other tables will be checked in order to find the right route for a packet. So you don't have to duplicate the routes of the main routing table in the custom tables.
One good way to manage the different routing tables is to use the following method:
That way, you end up with something quite simple, and there is just one route for each rule, and the list of rules is similar to a master routing table.

| 12°C Belfast
Rory McIlroy had his chance in China. The back page headline in his hometown paper, the Belfast Telegraph, said it all in big, red lettering — £156m.
That's what sportswear giants Nike are supposedly getting ready to pay the 23-year-old Ulsterman over the next ten years — an exclusive deal, and easily the biggest sponsorship package in the history of sport.
And when asked about it, McIlroy, not surprisingly, refused to confirm that Nike were about to take over from Titleist as his big backers.
Significantly, however, he refused to deny it either.
The Co Down superstar, whose deal with Titleist runs out at the end of the year, said: "These rumours have been going around for years and it seems to always come up at this time of the year.
"I leave it up to Conor [Ridge, his manager] to sort out so I can concentrate on my golf. That's all I can do and besides I have enough to think about trying to get the ball in the hole."
It is understood that McIlroy is now close to agreeing the deal with Nike which would see him change equipment for the first time since turning professional.
Nike routinely insists on exclusive branding on its elite sportsmen, which would result in settlement fees being required to those sponsors of McIlroy whose contracts are not about to expire.
In the meantime, the Holywood man returns to competition in Shanghai as the defending BMW Masters champion determined to end his best season as the European Tour No. 1.
McIlroy has joined 10 of his victorious European Ryder Cup teammates, captain Jose Maria Olazabal, and 28 of the top 30 players on the European money list for the event which starts tomorrow on the Jack Nicklaus course at Lake Malaren Golf Club.
McIlroy captured the inaugural tournament in a playoff with Anthony Kim last year, but this time it's sanctioned and the sixth-to-last on the 2012 schedule.
He's scheduled to play in four of the events, hoping to do well enough to emulate Luke Donald's feat last year of winning the money titles on the European Tour and the PGA Tour.
He leads both of them for now, but it's the Race to Dubai money list he dearly seeks after being runner-up in 2009 and 2011.
"It would be good to knock that off and try and do what Luke did last year and win the money on both tours," he said.
"I've got Justin (Rose) and Branden (Grace) right behind me, so if I do play well in my four events hopefully I can achieve that goal."
McIlroy leads Rose on the European Tour money list by $353,000, and is $634,200 ahead of Grace.
Rose and Grace could pass McIlroy by winning the $1.16 million first-prize check in the Chinese financial capital.
McIlroy competed last week in the exhibition World Golf Final in Turkey and was bundled out of the eight-man event in the round robin. The first matchplay showdown between McIlroy and Tiger Woods ended with Woods shooting a 64 to McIlroy's 70.
"If I had of known the summer I was going to have, I really would not have signed up for the Turkish event," said McIlroy.
"But then I went and it was a pretty relaxing week, and I got to spend the week with (girlfriend) Caroline, which was nice. However, I did not pick up a club since the Ryder Cup until the day before the Turkish match, so I wasn't taking it that seriously."
Next Monday, McIlroy will play Woods in another exhibition, the 'Duel at Lake Jinsha', in the north-central Chinese city of Zhenghou.
"We are both really excited as it will be the first time we will ever do something like this together.
"We both enjoy each other's company, and besides there is not many guys I would do something like this. So it should work well."

What did she find? And what did "geelizzie" think about what she found?

Bloggers-at-Large -- Geelizzie: 'Fresh & Easy and Broke Car Blues'
Bakersfield, California-based Blogger and self-employed craftsperson "geelizzie" (real name Elizabeth) had a bad day today in that southern Central Valley, California city famous for its oil wells and being the home of country music stars like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.
You see (and we bet you can relate) "geelizzie" has been having car problems. Below is what she says about her car and car problems today in a post in her "geelizzie" Blog titled: "Fresh & Easy and Broke Down Car Blues" (no doubt a title in honor of Bakersfield's status as "Nashville of the West"):
"First, the car. It's really really broken and needs major major work. We are waiting for a complete estimate and then will decide if the work will get done or not. My car is one of those cheap throwaway cars that when it starts falling apart means that it will keep falling apart until all that is left is a trail of auto parts strewn across the road.
Do we pay $2000.00 to fix a car that isn't even worth $2000.00 or take that money and put it on a new car? If we fix the old car, do we have any confidence at all that something else won't break down next week? It was probably good that the weather kept us from traveling on Christmas Eve because the car would definitely have broken down somewhere on the trip over the mountain and then we would have been spending our Christmas on the side of the road.
We had to go put $470.00 in tires on the truck yesterday so that Keith would have something to drive to work today. Regardless of what we decide, this will be the last year that we drive old beat up cars, a new car is in the future. (unless the economy finishes totally melting down and nobody has a job, of course.)"
Having been there before "geelizzie" -- We can relate. And, we sure enjoyed reading your description of the situation.
After dealing with car issues, "geelizzie" and husband Keith (did we mention she has six cats and wonders how they multiplied so fast?) decided to do some grocery shopping.
She had previously heard about Tesco's Fresh & Easy coming to Bakersfield -- the first two of a planned five stores in the area opened the first week of December -- so off they went to do their shopping in their city's newest entrant in the food and grocery retailing game. [From Fresh & Easy Buzz, December 3, 2008: Tesco Opens its First Two California Fresh & Easy Stores Outside of Southern California in the Central Valley City of Bakersfield Today. And here: Upcoming New Markets News: Tesco's Fresh & Easy Confirms Bakersfield, CA Stores; Says First Two Will Open Next Month on December 3rd, 2008.]
The shopping trip is the second aspect of the title ("Fresh & Easy and Broke Down Car Blues") of her Blog post today after all. And off to the new Bakersfield Fresh & Easy grocery and fresh foods market "geelizzie" went.
What did she find? And what did "geelizzie" think about what she found?
Well, in order to find out you have to click this link and jump to her Blog in order to read her full post about the store visit, along with her review of Tesco's Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. We will say though -- her shopping trip wasn't an improvement for her over her experience involving her "throw away car" earlier today.
And since Fresh & Easy Buzz is a full-service Blog, you can also read "geelizzie's" post, "Fresh & Easy and Broke Car Blues, here."
PS: If you read this "geelizzie," do let us know if husband Keith shouted "GEE-LIZZIE" when he took his first bite of that fresh & easy tamale bake entree?

whoa-what a surprise to see my blog post being blogged about! I was kind of afraid that the fresh&easy people would read my post and put me on some sort of wanted poster wall in their stores or something.
And, what my husband said after trying the tamale bake was 'let's go over to Coco's for dinner!'

I'm with geelizzie on the quality (poor) of the fresh & easy brand prepared foods. Salty. Many are odd tasting. Prices aren't that great either.

Los Angeles Clippers @ Chicago Bulls
United Center
December 11, 2012
FOX Prime Ticket / ESPN
With Derrick Rose sidelined, this isn't quite the marquee matchup between conference elites that people had hoped for. But the Bulls are still a soundly coached team sporting the no. 1 defensive efficiency rating in the league at the moment.
Some food for thought:
On ESPN.com, Kevin Arnovitz examines the cult of Bledsoe. ClipperBlog wonders if said cult could one day achieve a tax-exempt status.
The full effect of Bledsoe can be experienced only when the clock's running, because Bledsoe is fueled by live basketball — the super-animated stuff we see in the NBA. Most players expend energy when they're asked to chase people around and sprint the floor and collide with enormous bodies and leap every five seconds for one reason or another and occasionally land awkwardly on thick wood or men holding large cameras, but not Bledsoe. He actually gets stronger, faster and more lethal as he chews up the floor at warp speed.
Also on ESPN.com, D.J. Foster joins four other panelists and does a little 5-on-5 in advance of tonight's game.
And don't forget to check out ClipperBlog Live, our postgame wrap show. You can tweets us questions or comments or leave them below!

Until last week when I announced on Facebook that I had finally caved in and bought a KitchenAid stand mixer. While most of my friends were congratulating me on the purchase, Timmy's only comment was "can you try making those lilikoi malasadas now?" Can you tell he's a younger brother?
There was still the issue of finding lilikoi concentrate and guava concentrate in the Boston area. I checked Shaws and Harvest and even Whole Foods with no luck. Then I looked on-line, and there were some suggestions of trying a local Brazilian grocery store, but then I saw some posts that mentioned I should be able to find it at Shaws in the frozen foods section where the Goya products are. So I went back to Shaws, and lo and behold, there was frozen passion fruit pulp! And when I went back to Harvest later on, I was able to find frozen guava pulp there!
Now that I had all the ingredients and equipment I needed (I actually had to borrow a stand mixer from Susan because mine hadn't come in yet; thanks, Susan!), I had no more excuses, so I spent this past Saturday making these beauties. Note: this recipe does take quite a bit of time what with making the dough, letting it rise, then chilling it for 2 hours, then shaping and letting it rise again, then frying it, and finally filling the malasadas with the passion fruit curd. But it's so, so worth it, especially if you don't live in Hawaii and can't just buy these at a local bakery whenever you want. Also, I did make the guava coulis from the original recipe, but I thought the resulting coulis was way too watery, so I'm not including it here. The malasadas were more than fine without it.
makes 50 donuts
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup thawed lilikoi (passion fruit) pulp
6 egg yolks, beaten
In a small saucepan, mix together the sugar, butter, lemon and lilikoi pulp; bring to a boil.
In a small mixing bowl, whip the eggs yolks with 1/4 of the hot lilikoi mixture; pour the yolk mixture back to the saucepan.
Simmer, uncovered, whisking continuously until thickened and starts to bubble. Do not allow the lilikoi curd to come to a to a full boil or the eggs will start curdling. Strain and chill.
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
7 eggs
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups butter, softened to room temperature
Vegetable oil for deep frying
In a large bowl of an electric mixer use the dough hook to mix together the flour, sugar, and yeast.
Mix in the eggs, one at a time to form a thick paste; continue to mix at medium speed for 15 more minutes, then add the salt. Add the softened butter, 1/2 cup at a time, while continuing to mix at medium speed.
Transfer dough to a large bowl, cover, and allow to rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk.
Fill the malasadas with the lilikoi curd using a pastry bag.
The lilikoi curd is seriously one of the best things I have tasted in a long time. It's tart and sweet and buttery and custardy all at the same time, and you just want to start spreading it on everything. Then I tried a freshly fried malasada, and I knew the lilikoi curd had met its match. The outside was crispy from the frying and crunchy from the granulated sugar while the inside was soft and chewy and slightly sweet. I only wish I had been able to pipe in more of the lilikoi curd because the little squirt I got in there just wasn't enough.

Departures: Zambia
Zambia—Victoria Falls & Safari
Stunning Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River is one of Africa's most iconic sights and the jumping off point to explore prolific wildlife opportunities in South Luangwa National Park. Zambia's premier game reserve has strong populations of lion, leopard and elephant, and countless other mammals, birds, and reptiles. Safari lodges here are small and intimate, close to nature, and renown for excellent guides who take visitors on walking safaris.
We believe that to travel responsibly, a portion of our tour cost should benefit the communities we visit. For this trip, we will donate to PATH, who works throughout Zambia towards eliminating malaria, improving access to vaccines, and supporting communities to improve maternal and child health & nutrition as well as those living with HIV.

Used 2015 BMW 328i xDrive For Sale Edmonton AB
For this week's Used Car Spotlight, we thought we'd take a peek at a luxury sedan that just happens to on sale at an outstanding price. With an outstandingly sporty powertrain and all the bells and whistles one would come to expect from this automaker, the used 2015 BMW 328i xDrive for sale in Edmonton AB that we're looking at today makes an excellent option for anyone in the market for a used vehicle with a slightly-bigger spending budget.
[ READ MORE: Go Toyota on the Trail Used Inventory ]
This used 2015 BMW 328i xDrive is currently priced at $36,988 – which is nearly $10,000 less than a brand-new 2016 version of the same vehicle. That's a hefty discount, and with only 36,890 kilometres on the odometer it has a ton of life left. That may be a larger number than you would generally like to see on a vehicle that isn't quite two years old yet, but even still it has a long way to go, and you'd be hard press to beat the price. But let's take a dive into the vehicle's specs & features to get a better idea of just how great it is.
[wrc_column grid="2″ width="1″ type="start"][/wrc_column][wrc_column grid="2″ width="1″ type="end"][/wrc_column]
2015 328 Specs & Features
In a luxury vehicle like this, premium content is important. But the BMW 328i is designed to be a luxury sports car, so let's start by taking a look at its sporty performance. A 2.0L 4-cylinder engine might not sound like much, but it's enough to let the 328i deliver 241 horsepower alongside 258 pound-feet of torque. That's plenty of power to sate a lead foot's appetite, but its small engine allows a good blend of efficiency as well, achieving 7 l/100km highway and 11 l/100km city.
As for that premium content, this 328i xDrive is packed with great features like fog lights, a sunroof, alloy wheels, auto-dimming rearview mirror, premium upholster, navigation system and a rearview camera. A premium sound system is also tethered to the xDrive electronics interface with a great central display and Bluetooth compatibility.
If this sounds like the right vehicle for you, don't hesitate to schedule a test drive or give us a call here at the sales desk.

Dispatching first responders
For priority 1 calls, where a life is in danger, the actions of first responders are required to support ambulance, police or fire department services. Operating in accordance with a very precise protocol, the mobilization of first responders is preprogrammed in the computer system.
Every first responder is trained according to the standards established by Quebec's Minister of Health and their role is crucial, ensuring a faster presence at the scene of an incident when an ambulance is over 8 minutes away.
Over the past few years, several municipalities have introduced a first responder service and all indications are that this service will be on the rise in the future, thus providing ever more efficient emergency response to the public.

Why Is Vent Cleaning Important?
Namely, the biggest reason for cleaning regularly is for the safety of your home and anyone inside it. The lint and other substances that get caught in the vent over time can begin to burn due to the hot air that comes through it. Eventually, this can cause a spark that will turn into a big flame before you know it. The other issue is energy spending, as it will take more energy than necessary to get enough air through the blocked vent and dry your clothing. Your clothes will also get battered because of the longer cycle that can damage them. In all cases, the best and easiest fix is to just keep the vent clear!
What Should You Look For?
One of the easiest ways to tell if your dryer's vent needs cleaned is to look at it if it's easily in sight and check for noticeable lint and dust sticking out of the slots. If you can't see it, pay attention to the run time of your dyer. If it goes longer than it used to, or you have to set it to run for an extended period of time to fully dry your clothes, then that's an indication the vent is clogged up. Your energy bill may also reflect this with a steady increase in spending. Should you notice a burning smell when you start your dryer, turn it off immediately! This requires urgent attention, and postponed use until after the vent is taken care of.
Let Us Handle It!
We're happy to come out whenever is best for you and get to work on making your home safer and more energy efficient as well! We'll use the highest quality equipment to get your dryer's vent completely clear of any blockages and dispose of the materials safely so you won't have to worry about a mess. It'll be done and working again smoothly in no time, and we can check the airflow to make sure this is the case.

Fixing the Electric Sliding Door of Your Car
Modern technological conveniences have afforded many opportunities for advanced features in different vehicles. Electric sliding doors are the ones that can be opened or closed with the touch of a button. They literally slide along a set of tracks and automatically open and close at your behest. The sliding doors associated with minivans or midsize SUVs make it much more convenient to get in and out of the vehicle with bags, children, or a handful of goods, but there is still the chance for something to go wrong with the electronics.
The electric sliding door mechanism is very popular in many vehicles. Recent models of all types of SUVs and minivans use the touch of a button to open and close a door. It literally does not get more convenient than this type of advanced technology. However, when something goes wrong, fixing the issue can be a bit more complex. Most doors that do not have electric components can be much more easily fixed with simple tools. For example, if you are having trouble getting the car doors open because they are sticking or squeaking on an older pickup truck, you can probably apply some lubrication or some WD-40, maybe even replace some screws on your own and have no more problems in the future. However, if the problem is with an electronic component, things get a bit more complicated and you may not have the tools or the skills to identify the issue and fix it.
Benefits of Sliding Doors
Sliding doors provide many benefits. They are helpful for parents of children who need help getting in and out of the vehicle, and they are more accessible for disabled individuals, which makes them the perfect feature for ADA-compliant vehicles. They are ideal for transporting large groups of people or items, and they are incredibly convenient for loading and unloading.
How do electric sliding doors work?
Because these components are electric in nature, problems become a bit more complex to fix. Of course, everything begins with understanding how the components work in the first place. Electric sliding doors offer a simple design with a great deal of convenience for drivers. Whether you are trying to load or unload large packages, new furniture, pets, or passengers, having the automatic sliding door in the vehicle is great.
When your electric sliding door works properly, all it takes is the push of a button and the door will follow the tracks as it is pulled open or closed by a small motor. It extends slightly away from the vehicle before following the rest of the tracks until it is completely open or completely closed. In order to properly function, this mechanism uses a motor and a chain drive to move the heavy door. There is a pawl hook that hooks into the gears underneath the door which locks it into the open position.
Problems with Electric Sliding Doors
If the mechanism stops working properly and your door no longer opens and closes at the push of a button, it is important to bring your vehicle into one of our locations to have a skilled professional fix the problem. Nonetheless, there are things you can do at home to help prevent serious problems with your door. You can, for example, keep the tracks properly clean and lubricated. Debris and crumbs and all manner of dirt typically get caught in the tracks when the doors open, and if that isn't removed on a regular basis it can build up and cause serious problems with the function of the door. If there is a problem you don't want to let it get worse. Eventually, the door will not open or close at all.
When you bring your vehicle in because of an issue with the electric sliding door, we can help you to figure out the cause, provide repairs, and offer long-term solutions for you to help prevent future problems from arising. Our staff is very well-trained with handling electric sliding door issues and we specialize in all types of models, both domestic and imports. So, if you are having trouble getting your door open or closed, let us know. At Star Motors we are conveniently located to San Juan Capistrano, CA and other Southern Orange County areas.

Article Text
Dr Bawa-Garba, a senior paediatric trainee who had been involved in the care of a child who died shortly after admission to hospital, was convicted of gross negligence manslaughter and subsequently erased from the medical register. We argue that criminalisation of doctors in this way is fraught with ethical tensions at levels of individual blameworthiness, systemic failures, professionalism, patient safety and at the interface of the regulator and doctor. The current response to alleged manslaughter during clinical care is not fit for purpose because of its narrow focus on criminalisation and punishment of individual doctors. The justice system fails to take into account systemic issues in a sufficiently proper and informed way particularly in respect of human factors involved in decision-making. It is easier to convict individual doctors for gross negligence manslaughter than it is to effect legal accountability upon organisations. If educational reflections are used to apportion blame, then this could impact detrimentally on honesty and the duty of candour, with negative implications for patient safety. Regulatory processes should not be deployed without consideration of context. There is an urgent need for a fresh and open evaluation of professional and societal expectations from the regulator that should include positive action as well as those that are proportionately punitive. Justice and patient safety would be served better by more sophisticated contextualisation through an approach that balances accountability in healthcare with failures that can occur within complex systems, and by working to a radical shift towards a just culture.

This is a key week for Winter Park businessman Chris King as he tries to make a move in the four-candidate Democratic race for Florida governor.
First-time candidate King embarked Tuesday on a "Turning the Tide" tour in which he became the second Democratic gubernatorial candidate to call for legalizing recreational marijuana use and taxing it. And today, King is launching a statewide TV ad campaign today with a 30-second spot highlighting his refusal to accept sugar industry contributions to his campaign.
Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum has already called for legalized recreational pot. Former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who boasts that he decriminalized weed when he was in office, has said he'll support legalizing recreational marijuana use if Florida voters approve it in a referendum. Former U.S. Rep. Gwen Graham, asked about recreational marijuana legalization in a televised debate last month, said "we have got to get the medical marijuana firmly implemented and have everyone take advantage of it and then we can talk about further steps."
King outlined his marijuana stance as part of a campaign swing focused on criminal justice reforms. His "Turning the Tide" platform also calls for reducing the state's prison population by 25 percent over five years by reducing punishments for non-violent offenders; ending the death penalty; ending private prison contacts; restoring voting rights to felons who have completed their terms; and "ending the school-to-prison pipeline" by spending more on childcare, education and other programs.
King, who through April 30 had pumped $2.1 million of his own money into his campaign, will spend $1 million or more on a TV ad campaign that begins today. His first 30-second spot promises to take Florida in a "new direction" and, aside from his anti-sugar stance, highlights his calls for Medicaid expansion, more affordable housing and expanded community colleges and trade schools.
Levine is the only other Democrat to advertise on TV, spending about $8 million since November.

I have been using DotNetNuke for close to a decade. During that time, I have built hundreds of websites and worked with almost every popular module and skin on the market. Despite this, I can say with absolute certainty that I have never come across a vendor that can match Websites Creative or a skin that matches Generic.
When you buy anything from WSC, you can be sure that you will get unmatched quality and attention to detail. Generic is no exception.
Generic is more than a DNN theme; it's a theme builder with an interface that allows anyone, from technically challenged to DNN master, to create a stunning website in minutes.
Furthermore, the templates and shortcodes make it easy to create complex layouts and add elements that would otherwise require a lot of time, technical know-how, or both.
If you are looking for a lightning fast, highly customizable, and easy-to-use DNN skin from a top vendor, then you've come to the right place. There is nobody else on the market that even comes close.

This is funny, but sadly it's true!
I have said long ago that Ron Paul followers are a bit out of touch. I also believe that many of Ron Paul's most ardent and boisterous supporters are teens and college age kids.
Video by Chunkage75
As exemplified by the young man seen in the video above, most of Ron Paul's supporters are men between the ages of 18 and 30. His support among both men and women progressively declines from the age of 27 and up. In other words, most of Ron Paul's support comes from the very kids that you see on MTV during Spring Breaks specials at Senor Frogs in Cancun, or surrounding a stage on Miami Beach while drinking beer through funnels and flailing their booties and hands about to Fifty Cent's latest rap about those he deems as bitches and hos. As portrayed by the very civic-minded young man in the video above, this is what accounts for a significant portion of Ron Paul's support.
The problem is that much like the irresponsible fool in the video, many of the minds in this young demographic are not as inspired by Ron Paul's respect for the Constitution as they are for the excuses they come with up based upon Ron Paul's interpretations of the Constitution. What they do with Ron Paul's message is say "Yeah, that's right. Government has no right to tell me anything". While government should in fact play much less a role in our lives than it currently does, Ron Paul's lack of any willingness to acknowledge many of the proper responsibilities for government, allows for an almost anarchist-like interpretation of his message by those who wish to legitimize their own unfettered conduct.
Paul's mousey toned, but impassioned description of the Constitution helps the typical young rebel who feels invincible and naïvely believes they are of superior intellect, to make excuses for irresponsible behavior. The largest demographic supporting Ron Paul likes the idea of freedom but they do not quite grasp the fact that with freedom also comes great responsibility and personal control. And so like the punk kid in the video, they do not respectfully regard the Constitution for the freedom it defends, they instead use it as an excuse for avoiding the personal responsibility that comes with freedom.

The Music Education Code of Practice helps to ensure music practitioners provide high quality music making and learning experiences for the people they work with. The code consists of a set of quality statements concerning all aspects of music learning:
By adopting the code, practitioners demonstrate their commitment to quality work.
By using the code as a benchmark, employers and hirers of practitioners demonstrate their commitment to requiring high-quality practice of those who work for them.
The music code of practice for music practitioners is fully aligned with ArtWorks code of practice principles for artists in participatory settings. So you can be sure that an artist who shows you their signed copy of the ArtWorks code of practice is committed to the same quality statements as a Sound Sense member or other music educator who shows you a copy of the music education code.
If you are a community music practitioner, adopting the Code of Practice is your first step to professionalism. Sound Sense members are actively encouraged to sign up to the code of practice, ensuring professionalism across the sector. You can download the code below.
Sound Sense members can sign up to the Code of Practice online. Simply login to the Members Area, click on "My Details" and scroll down to find the Code of Practice section. You can opt in or out of the Code of Practice at any time in this way.
If you sign up online, your entry in the Find a Musician members directory will show that you have signed up to the Code of Practice.
