A friend near Chico, Ca gave me a piece of this wood. He says it's Redwood, but it could be Fir. Whatever it is, It has great figure/ grain to it. I made this box with some Curly Redwood for the top. These are some pictures I took while at a blue grass festival where someone bought the box. I was in a hurry to finish some boxes and did not take good photos at home. The box is about 6" tall x 9" long x 5" wide. Watco Danish Oil for a finish. I have enough of this wood for two more boxes, but my friend says he has a little more. The depth in the curl is really amazing, especially in the bright sunshine. The box is nothing special in design, but the wood sure is. I gave some to Dennis Hunter and he used it in our contest box as a contrast to the other Redwood.
-- Robert, so much inspiration here, and now time to work!!!

This special graining appears to be Redwod that was under compression. That is condition is not uncommon near the base of larger redwood trees.

That is some very fancy redwood! And ya done good on the box as well. The splines are subtle and everything focuses on the amazing grain. Old Doug Fir has a very chacteristic smell when sawed to me. Redwood much less so. Agree?

I did try to tell by smell, but the smell was too faint. Kind of like a 2×4-sort of. The guy who has more of this is 2 hours away over the mountains, by so is anyone else with wood besides fir and pine!! I guess it is worth a road trip. I need some more Purpleheart and Padauk too. Thanks for the comments. I do like pretty wood!

yes this is really an amazing piece of wood, i think i would call it "over the river and through the woods"..its just that up and down wavy thing….i would for sure make a road trip and get what is left of this…some things are just worth it,i really love it when the wood is the center of the project and not design…good job here…grizz

Exceptional grain. You have made the most of it, sometimes some pieces of wood decide what you do with it and this is one of those results.

That is surely beautiful. Wow! That side panel looks super with those splines. Nice wood combo for that

Wow Robert…that is great looking. That grain gives it the look of being sculpted..Nice...!

Fantastic grain! I'm quite sure it's redwood. Compare it to this redwood turning I did a while back.

"Music marks milestones in our lives," says Jon Bon Jovi. "It's a wonderful feeling that people associate our songs with many important moments in their lives."

18th Street NW (Washington, D.C.)
18th Street Northwest is a prominent north–south street thoroughfare in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C.
The "18th Street" roadway was part of the 1791 L'Enfant Plan for Washington by Pierre Charles L'Enfant.
In the present day 18th Street also travels through downtown Washington and the Dupont Circle and Mount Pleasant neighborhoods. It is also one of the main streets in the Adams Morgan neighborhood, the other is Columbia Road.
It passes through the Strivers' Section Historic District in the Dupont Circle neighborhood. Many bars, nightclubs, and restaurants are located on 18th Street in Adams Morgan, and on weekends it is frequently congested with cars and pedestrians, especially at last call.[1]

There is a new queen of pop coming up in the music world and her name is, Maya Rae. Maya is from British Columbia and making everyone there proud. Maya is talented far beyond her years, carrying a wonderful voice which she uses very well. When Maya delivers a song, she delivers it with emotion and passion. She has a lot of heart and it can be felt in all her performances.
Maya was ten years old when she began sharing her talent with others. Maya's teacher told her about an open mic night and this started her great journey.
Since Maya's beginning she has gained a couple of favorite performances. One of the performances that Maya likes so well was this year at the, In the House festival. Maya says she was honored to be invited to perform there, it was a great experience. "The In the House festival was an opportunity to not only give a good solo performance, but also listen to several other local artists", says Maya. Another performance she liked was for the Special Olympics. She says performing for the Special Olympics gave her a whole new perspective on life. She says for her to see everybody there participating and sharing in the joy of the music, made her happy.
Performing is in Maya's heart and she loves the feeling of making people happy with her music. When Maya listens to music or is performing it, she enjoys the likes of, Sam Smith, Jason Mraz, Joni Mitchell, Michael Buble, Eva Cassidy and the Beatles. Maya says she also loves the divas of jazz as well like, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. Maya says they are all geniuses in their own way and she has learned a lot from them.
Maya is indeed talented and her talents have earned her some other great things. Last year in the Youth Talent search she won the Audience Favorite Award. Maya was also on TV a couple of months ago. She was participating in a local theater production of Annie as an orphan. As a promotion the orphans went on Shaw TV, and taught the host a dance from the production.
For the last few months Maya has been recording some tracks which she hopes will become an album. Maya has written one song which will be included on the album called, Sapphire Birds. Sapphire Birds is personal to her because it is about being with her family who she is very close to. Her brother helped out with ideas on Maya's writing, he told her about an exercise where you write the first thing that comes to your mind. Maya says this makes ideas easier to come by, especially when you have writers block.
Maya says she would like everyone to know that music is really important to her and even though it might sound cheesy, she believes music is the universal language. She is so right, music adds beauty to the world that everyone can enjoy. Maya is now part of this great beauty of music bringing joy to people worldwide, and she will be doing so for a longtime to come.

Country star Eric Church does not like scalpers. His management team has canceled 902 tickets they think were purchased by resellers for his Sept. 16 show at Target Center in downtown Minneapolis.
Those 902 tickets will go back on sale at 5 p.m. today via axs.com.
More than 14,000 tickets had been sold for the concert, according to Church's camp, with only limited-view seats remaining. The canceled orders violated the stated policy of an eight ticket limit per household.
"A lot of acts just want to sell as many tickets as they can and they don't care who they sell them to," Church said in the news release. "I want my fans to be the ones who buy tickets to my shows, and I want scalpers to back off. I can't stop ticket scalpers completely, but I can definitely make it harder for them."

Well, I have some unfortunate news, so I hope you're all sitting down. The Kardashians will definitely NOT be leaving our TV's anytime soon – or our pop culture lexicon. Despite Kim Kardashian's sham wedding (with accompanying very public divorce) and the tremendous negative backlash from the media and the public, American's favorite famewhores have just inked a $40 Million three-year reality television deal with E!. So, if this doesn't confirm that Kimye is a publicity stunt – really, I don't know what would!
Yes, despite petitions, and threats, and absolute proof that their shows are staged crap – they will be back whether we like it or not!
According to TMZ, the attention-seeking family behind Keeping Up With The Kardashians will continue airing all their dirty laundry – real and created – for our viewing consumption with the lion's share of the massive deal being split between Kris Jenner, Bruce Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and of course no 1 paycheck, Kim, all of whom will receive equal salaries!
Ironically the numbers for last season's KUWTK averaged only about 3 M viewers per episode – on par (or below) with most Housewives, but apparently the Kardashians' scandals and drama are worth their weight in gold for the network; which basically exists purely to broadcast the family's lives. The deal does not include any new shows! So when Kim and Kanye West start pimping out their totally authentic romance, they will iron out their own deal. Which means more ka-ching!
The less famous and thereby second-rate family members, Rob Kardashian along with Kylie and Kendall Jenner will receive considerably less. Scott Disick and Mason also get a cut of the profit, but they have a separate deal with the network. You know Kris was trying to insure against any possible break-ups!

Rolling Stones to start up Ford sales

Weight-loss ads banned by FTC
Asan antonio company that markets a weight-loss product called "Body Solutions Evening Formula" predominantly on Spanish language radio stations prompted a suit from the Federal Trade Commission. The company, Mark Nutritionals, agreed to an order temporarily freezing its assets and banning it from making ad claims for weight loss unless it has scientific justification. The FTC said Mark Nutritionals and two officers, Harry Siskind and Edward G. D'Alesandro Jr., agreed to the ban as part of a court hearing into FTC claims that the company couldn't show its product will lead to weight loss of as much as 20 to 40 pounds without diet or exercise. Mark Nutritionals, which is going through bankruptcy reorganization, sold $190 million in products since 1999, according to the FTC. AdAge.com QwikFIND aao31u

Kolkata: Samsung India Electronics will make all future launches, including entry-level smart phones, with 4G facility and it expects to gain a bigger market share on the back of the new launches, a top company official said on Thursday.
"There is huge conversion happening from feature phones to smart phones at the entry level. This migration will continue. All the future launches, including entry-level segment, will have 4G facilities and we will sell 4G devices. But at the same time, there will be certain set of feature phones users because of price points," said the Samsung`s Vice President (Mobiles Business) Manu Sharma.
He said the mobile maker has experienced growth in sales this year but declined to give details of sales figures.
"We expect that the company will gain its market share on the back of new launches," he said on the sidelines of the launch of a new version of `My Galaxy` application.
According to latest data, in the smart phone market, the mobile maker at present has 48.7 per cent share in terms of value.
Speaking on the the Galaxy Note 7, he confirmed that the company will refund consumers who bought the smart phones outside the country. "They can go to our service centre and get refunded," he said, adding that it did not sell the device in India.
In lieu of the Galaxy Note 7 pre-book offer, the company has offered Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge, he said.
The application was developed by Indian team at company`s research and development institute in Bangalore. "It is a testimony to our passion for innovation and localisation. India becomes the fourth largest app economy after China, US and Brazil," Sharma added.

Netflix Admits to Throttling AT&T and Verizon Customers
In a bit of unexpected news, Netflix admitted to having throttled streaming speeds for its videos for AT&T and Verizon customers for the last five years (beginning roughly when both carriers started putting the kibosh on unlimited data). The thinking, by their own admission, is that if Netflix customers on the two largest US carriers blew through their data caps, the resulting overage fees would discourage them from continuing to watch Netflix on their phones and tablets.
By throttling the video streams at 600 Kbps, Netflix reasoned their viewers would be less likely to exceed their data caps (or at least be able to watch more movies or TV shows before doing so). The popular video streaming service stated that Sprint and T-Mobile customers were not subjected to throttling because "historically those two companies have had more consumer-friendly policies."
Unsurprisingly, AT&T released a statement to The Wall Street Journal expressing 'outrage' over the revelation. While they appear to be standing up for their customers at first glance, it should be remembered that the carrier likely would have made significant profits over the past several years from overage fees had Netflix not throttled their customers. Also, Netflix zinged both AT&T and Verizon rather brazenly by suggesting their policies are less consumer-friendly than Sprint and T-Mobile. As of the time of this writing, Verizon has yet to make a statement about the matter.Source: Netflix Via: Android Central

I have tried about 3 times to make quesadilla in the last few days, and no matter what I try to change about my recipe, they keep coming out *extremely* floppy and not-at-all crispy!
I am using flour tortilla, which I think is what I'm supposed to use. (I mean, I'm not supposed to use like a hard taco shell, am I??)
I grease the pan, put in the tortilla, put in the cheese, cook it at a low heat for about 4 minutes, fold it, and take it out. The cheese is fine, the spices are fine, the dipping sauces are fine. … It's just that darned tortilla that's as floppy and non-crispy!
What do you suggest I do to make this recipe like it's made in restaurants?
I just made another batch by putting lots of oil in the pan, microwaving the tortilla for 1 minute between two paper towels (which helped!), and turning it on high. — Now it just tastes hard and overcooked like burnt popcorn.
I guess I'll have to experiment with a happy medium. Maybe microwaving the tortilla for like 45 sec on a medium power, then cooking it with the cheese on a medium-low setting. We shall see!

Assalaamu alaikum sis,I just reecntly subscribed to your blog so I'm trying to catch up on older entries as well as your current ones inshallah. I'd like to know after you apply the oil do you cover your hair or just go about your day as usual? Is it rinsed out or no? I'm starting my natural hair journey again and have noticed my hair texture has changed from my late 20s/early 30s when I first went natural. So I'm learning what works for my hair all over again lol.

We use GoDaddy for our host at work, and I think they`re fantastic. I have never experienced downtime, nor have any of our site users reported downtime. Customer support is fast, and if you`re on Twitter, all you have to do is ping @GoDaddy with a question! They`ve never been anything less than helpful and gracious when I`ve spoken with their customer support reps.

I had a GoDaddy Hosting account about 1 year ago. The plan was ok because I didn`t need much in the way of space and traffic. They had decent uptime, but they were always sending me junk mail and had far too many upsells for various add-ons. With a GoDaddy domain name you also get mailboxes and GoDaddy Webmail which was pretty decent. They had a nice cheap hosting plan, but I required more support - which was not toll-free. So with this cost added in coupled with extremely long hold times - I ended up paying much more during that time. So I switched to BlueHost for the toll-free support. The GoDaddy control panel was ok, but since they offered so many products it got a bit confusing on where to go at times. Note to GoDaddy: Get TOLL FREE SUPPORT!

The Corolla has been volume leader for Toyota for several years and the latest version offers buyers even more bang for their buck. In a crowded compact segment, against the Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra and Ford Focus, the Corolla stands out for its fresh, athletic styling, as well as its roomy, feature-rich interior. The LE Eco even offers best-in-class fuel economy. Add Toyota's outstanding reputation for reliability, and the 2018 Corolla deserves a place at the top of every compact car-shopper's list.
Compare the 2018 Toyota Corolla against similar models
For 2018, the Toyota Corolla carries over unchanged.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.
Below are pictures of the 2018 Toyota Corolla. Select the picture you want to view below
Below are the available colors for the 2018 Toyota Corolla. Select the color to see a close-up view.
With a history dating back nearly half a century, the Toyota Corolla has been almost synonymous with the term compact car. Little has changed on the sedan for the 2018 model year, except for cancellation of last year's 50th-anniversary special edition. All 2018 Corolla models get lighted vanity mirrors, while 2018 Corolla XLE and 2018 Corolla SE gain a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
Corolla added a new model for 2017: the Corolla iM hatchback. Sharing little more than the model name, Corolla iM began life in 2016 as a member of the Scion family. When Toyota's Scion division disappeared, prior to the 2017 model year, the iM became part of the regular Toyota lineup. Basically, the iM is a five-door hatchback, developed for European sale, with its own interior layout and a more sophisticated suspension. As a hatch, the iM represents a small fraction of Corolla sales in the U.S. (To learn more about the iM, see our 2016 Scion iM review.) In the iM hatchback, Toyota's 1.8-liter engine produces 137 horsepower and 126 pound-feet. A single trim level is offered, with the choice of CVT or 6-speed manual shift.
Corolla sedans come in six trim levels: L, LE, LE Eco, XLE, SE, and XSE. Each holds a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 132 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. The LE Eco is an exception. Tuned for fuel-efficiency, with special valve timing, its engine is rated higher than the regular version, at 140 horsepower. Like other current Toyota products, the Corolla gets an impressive collection of safety features as standard equipment.
Most Corolla sedans are fitted with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). A 6-speed manual gearbox is available only for the SE sedan.
Corollas might be short on personality, ranking as average all around. But they're refined in demeanor and fully capable of delivering common-sense satisfaction.
Not only do both body styles earn high scores for efficiency and comfort, they've earned admirable crash-test scores. Strong crashworthiness and superior standard safety equipment combine to make a compelling case for Corolla ownership.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the 2017 sedan a Top Safety Pick+. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it five stars overall, with a four-star rating for frontal collision and four stars for rollover (a calculated score).
Every Corolla comes with LED headlights, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and automatic high beams. Sedans also contain adaptive cruise control.
All Corolla models are sedans except the iM five-door hatch. All come with front-wheel drive. All come with 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines, though tuning varies. Most come with a continuously variable transmission, though a manual is available for the Corolla SE and iM hatch.
Corolla L ($18,500) includes the CVT, 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, rearview camera, air conditioning, adaptive cruise control, power windows/locks, and Bluetooth. (All prices are MSRP and do not include destination charge.)
Corolla LE ($18,935) adds automatic climate control, an integrated rear armrest, 3.5-inch TFT screen, and keyless entry. Options include a moonroof and a navigation app or smartphones.
Corolla LE Eco ($19,335) has a specially tuned engine and low-rolling-resistance tires.
Corolla SE ($20,445) comes with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leatherette/fabric seat upholstery, and alloy wheels. Corolla SE is also available with a manual gearbox and 7.0-inch infotainment screen ($21,665).
Corolla XLE sedan ($21,825) includes a power driver's seat, heated front seats, and proximity key.
Corolla XSE sedan ($22,680) differs from XLE in exterior design and upholstery.
A full, integrated navigation system is optional on XLE and XSE.
iM hatchback comes with manual gearbox ($18,750) or CVT ($19,490) and includes a 7.0-inch screen, Pioneer-branded audio, rearview camera, and 17-inch alloy wheels.
To many eyes, Corollas have a long history of uninspired appearance. That hasn't kept tens of millions of motorists from driving one home. A bit awkward-looking overall, sedans have an uncommonly high ride height, with 6.7-inch ground clearance.
Corolla L and LE trim levels possess few decorative elements, and plastic hubcaps cover their steel wheels. Corolla SE and XSE models step up to alloy wheels.
More expressive styling is the province of the newer iM hatchback. In addition to a rather long roofline atop a bigger greenhouse, the iM benefits from details that impact a Eurostyle aura.
Comfortable seats, front and rear, highlight the Corolla sedan's spacious cabin. Moderately bolstered, the front seats provide good support.
Legroom is good in the rear seat. Three passengers fit back there, but they'll probably start to feel squeezed on a longer journey.
Despite a generally pleasing ambiance, nothing can be called luxurious within a Corolla, which contains an abundance of shiny plastic trim. Still, seat materials in most Corollas are attractive. Each Corolla has a height-adjustable driver's seat, which is power-adjustable on top models. Synthetic leather used in upper models doesn't feel real, but it doesn't have to and should wear well.
All controls on the nearly-vertical dashboard are logical and easy to use. Contrasting stitching crosses the dashboard's edges.
Though its dashboard is almost identical to the one in Corolla sedans, the iM's infotainment system isn't as neatly integrated into its surroundings.
Like its appearance, the performance of a Corolla ranks as average in every area. Handling with confidence, the Corolla provides a safe and sufficient road experience.
Steering feels light, providing minimal feedback from the pavement, but that's hardly uncommon in family-friendly compact sedans. Body lean can become evident when taking corners energetically. The ride is smooth and easygoing, though not remarkably soft or lavish. Sedan suspensions permit considerable wheel travel, which helps absorb bumps and pot holes.
Corolla engines exhibit a refined nature. For most owners, that's more important than brisk responses to the gas pedal. Toyota's continuously variable transmission tends to keep the engine at higher speeds much of the time, but acceleration is wholly adequate. Sufficient sound-deadening tones down most engine rumbling.
Expect a firmer ride from the iM hatchback, but few trouble spots on the road will jar Corolla passengers.
Fuel economy doesn't lead the compact-sedan pack, but Corollas qualify as thrifty. EPA estimates for 2018 have not yet been issued, but 2017 figures hover around 30 mpg in combined driving. L and LE sedans with the CVT are EPA-rated at 28/36 mpg City/Highway, or 32 mpg Combined. Upper trim levels are a hair less frugal, due to bigger wheels. Manual shift in the SE earns an EPA rating of 27/35 mpg City/Highway, or 30 mpg Combined. The LE Eco is EPA-rated as high as 30/40/34 mpg.
The Corolla iM is EPA-rated at 27/35 mpg City/Highway, or 30 mpg Combined, with 6-speed manual, rising to 28/36/31 mpg with the CVT.
All Corollas are capable and well-equipped, but no sedan qualifies as a stunning value. Plenty of competitors can match the Corolla's practical virtues, while offering more character. Even so, a Corolla does it job competently. Only those who crave driving excitement even in a family car are likely to be displeased. Those folks would be advised to look at a Mazda 3 or Honda Civic.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Aberdeen mural scheme aims to help increase civic pride
A new scheme is aiming to revive some of Aberdeen's neglected streets with colourful murals.
The city's Aldelphi lane has been given a makeover with two new murals painted across the entrance to the 19th Century lane.
The revamp is part of a plan to clean up the city centre and and help increase civic pride.
The murals have been warmly received by the public and the scheme could be extended to other parts of the city.
'Pleasant area'
The Silver City Street Revival project has been commissioned by Aberdeen Inspired, a business group which is funding a clean-up of the city centre, with the help of the Owlcat Artists Collective.
The group aims to try to draw in more business and tourism, as well as increase civic pride.
Aberdeen Inspired's chief executive Susan Bree praised the murals and said: "I have no doubt that people will now find this a far more pleasant area to visit."
Local artist Jim Devron said he hoped that his mural would help locals see the lane in a new light as well highlighting the industrial heritage of the area.
His design incorporates the image of Sir David Gill, an Aberdeen-born astronomer who helped improve navigation for ships by using the position of stars.
Mr Devron said: "The idea is to give people new enthusiasm for the area, it's beautiful place.
"People just need to look up to see the architecture that exists here."
The public's reaction to the colourful murals has been positive with people being drawn into the lane by the artwork.
Aberdeen Inspired said the scheme could now be extended across to the nearby Castlegate area of the city.

Following on the heels of the SQL Server 2012 release earlier this year, Microsoft recently released Visual Studio 2012. As I covered in a previous article, "Top New Features in Visual Studio 2012," Visual Studio 2012 offers many new features for developing Windows 8 and Windows Phone applications. Visual Studio 2012 also has several new database-related enhancements. Here are the most important ones.
New SQL Server Object Explorer
Visual Studio has always been weak in the area of SQL Server navigation. However, the new Visual Studio 2012 SQL Server Object Explorer allows multiple database navigation and drill down, and it displays column data types as well as primary and foreign keys. This new SQL Server Object Explorer is now much more like SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) than the old Server Explorer, which was quite limited in the information it displayed.
New Table Designer
The new Visual Studio 2012 Table Designer lets you define a table graphically, making it easier to understand its related objects. The new Table Designer is bi-directional: Changing the table definition through a graphical interface updates the Script pane. Likewise, changes to the Script pane update the graphical designer. The new Table Designer is available only for databases in the SQL Server 2012 format.
Support for SQL Server LocalDB
The SQL Server Express LocalDB engine is used to provide local database access for Visual Studio applications. LocalDB is a version of SQL Server that runs in user mode—not as a service. For developers, it's primarily intended to help test code for deployments. It uses the same sqlservr.exe program as the other versions and is 100 percent code compatible with the full-featured versions of SQL Server 2012. Earlier versions of Visual Studio used SQL Server Express. If you migrate your earlier Visual Studio projects to Visual Studio 2012, their database connections will be changed from SQL Server Express to SQL Server LocalDB.
.NET Framework 4.5 Data Provider for SQL Server (System.Data.SqlClient)
SqlClient now supports SQL Server 2012's new AlwaysOn high availability, disaster recovery feature. New streaming support makes it easier to work with BLOBs and unstructured data by eliminating the need to fully load the object data into memory. Connection failures will now be logged in the extended events log. In addition, support has been added for asynchronous programming.
Entity Framework 5.0
Although it's no longer technically a part of the .NET Framework, there's also a new version of the Entity Framework. The Entity Framework is built on the .NET Framework, and the latest version includes support for the dbGeography and dbGeometry spatial data types. In addition, it offers support for table-valued function with the database-first method as well as support for multiple diagrams per model. The Entity Framework 5 can be installed only by using NuGet. You can download the NuGet installer package for the Entity Framework 5.0 from nuget.org. NuGet is a Visual Studio extension that helps you to install libraries and tools into Visual Studio.
Try It Out
You can learn more about the new Visual Studio 2012 database features by downloading a trial copy of Visual Studio 2012. Many of these features are also in the free Visual Studio Express 2012 editions.

New DOT Secretary President Clinton has nominated Federal Highway Administrator Rodney Slater as the next Secretary of Transportation, replacing Federico Pena. Slater's nomination must be approved by the Senate.
Testing relief Because of the low rate of truck drivers using drugs and alcohol, ITCC is asking the federal government to reduce the random drug- and alcohol-testing rates for carriers that show combined positive rates of less than 0.5% for alcohol and less than 1.0% for drugs over a two-year period. Under current law, carriers must randomly test at least 25% of its drivers for alcohol and 50% for the presence of five controlled substances annually. DOT is authorized to lower those rates to 10% and 25%, respectively, if industry positive rates are less than 0.5% for alcohol and 1.0% for drugs for two consecutive years.
Training wheels A public hearing hosted by DOT yielded a lot of discussion, but little consensus, as to whether the feds should require mandatory training for entry-level drivers. The session followed a report issued earlier this year that blasted trucking's training regimen.
Truck taxes Rep. Mac Collins (R-Ga.), a former trucking executive, has been named to head a congressional panel charged with producing a comprehensive study of all types of transportation taxes. The study may help resolve long-running disputes among competitive modes over tax parity.
Highway shortfall A recent GAO report says that spending on highways and bridges totaled about $40 billion in 1993, the last year for which data is available. However, the DOT says an additional $16 billion is necessary merely to maintain, not improve, the nation's highways.

The St. Mary's Foundation was created in February 1982 with proceeds from the sale of property across North Glebe Road, which was once home to the St. Mary's Academy, a day school for students in grades one through eight that today contains the Rixey View town home community. The property was sold to a developer, necessitated by a very difficult financial period in parish history. Earnings from the original foundation corpus helped sustain the parish during this time.
According to the Articles of Incorporation, the purpose of the foundation is "to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ as that Gospel is proclaimed in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, and interpreted in the tradition of the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds, the Articles of Religion adopted by the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States in 1801 and the Books of Common Prayer." Annual foundation income is made available to the St. Mary's Vestry and can only be used for "capital expenses of the Church, for outreach and other charitable and religious programs of the Church, and/or for donation by the Church to St. Mary's Foundation to increase the principal [corpus] of the funds."
The foundation is governed by a five‐person Board of Directors comprised of the three parish trustees, a Vestry‐appointed member and the Rector.
The current Board includes the three St. Mary's Trustees, David Mayhood, Diane Hellens and Steve Bevis, Vestry‐appointed member Paul Wojcik and St. Mary's Rector Andrew Merrow.

WC Rodeo starts New Season with Mixer
- Details
- Published: Monday, 28 August 2017 16:25
If it seems like not that long since Weatherford College was competing in rodeo. It wasn't. But then, that's what happens when you send competitors to the College National Finals Rodeo for 13 consecutive seasons.
In June then freshmen, now sophomores, Brogan Macy and Garrett Jacobs kept the streak alive for WC when they competed in the CNFR.
|Leighton Berry, 2017 Colt Bruce Scholarship recipient
|Marki Bruce, 2017 Mike Brown Scholarship recipient
Sunday, the 2017-18 season officially got under way with a meet-and-greet for the WC Rodeo Team at the Parker County Sheriff's Posse Clubhouse. Visitors had a chance to mingle with returning competitors along with a host of newcomers.
"It's going to be an awesome rodeo season," WC Interim President Brent Baker said in remarks to kick off the event. "A lot of people don't realize the commitment, the sweat, the guts it takes to be a college athlete, much less a college rodeo athlete.
"I don't know anybody who puts in more miles than you guys. Thank you for representing us."
Baker added, "You're lucky to have a guy like Johnny Emmons as coach."
Emmons was recognized through a video presentation that showed highlights from his career, which includes qualifying as a roper for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo five times (1989, 1998, 2001-03) and more than $800,000 in winnings. He is a member of the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame and was named the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Coach of the Year in 2014.
"He should win it every year," former WC national qualifier Casey Tew told the crowd.
Two-time national roping champion and former Coyote Cole Wheeler told the athletes to, "stick to it. I just stuck to what got me here. This is a good school. You actually have to work here and go to class. Have fun and see how fast it goes."
Wheeler won a national title in 2016 at Weatherford College, followed by another this past season at Texas Tech.
Dr. Andra Cantrell, Executive Vice President for Financial and Administrative Affairs, addressed the crowd and acknowledged former Rodeo Coach Mike Brown, who retired in 2012 and passed away in 2015.
"Mike was instrumental in bringing [the program] to where it is today," she said, followed by telling the athletes, "I hope this is the greatest year you've ever had in your life."
To which Tew, the only three-time CNFR qualifier from WC added, "Mike, he set it up good. We miss him a lot."
Brown's family was in attendance as the Mike Brown Memorial Scholarship was presented to sophomores Marki Cleveland from Iowa Park and Jhett Jackson from Quitman. Also, the family of Colt Bruce was on hand for the presentation of the Colt Bruce Memorial Scholarship to freshman Leighton Berry of Weatherford.
Bruce was a 2010 Aledo High graduate and bareback competitor on the Tarleton State University team when he lost his life in an accident with a drunk driver in December of 2014. He was 23 years old.
Emmons referenced generations of competitors from WC who have reached the CNFR, including three members of the Tew family (2007 national champion Cody, 2011 qualifier Cadee, 2014-16 qualifier Casey) and the Macys (2014-15 qualifier Aaron, 2017 qualifier Brogan).
"In my opinion, it's probably the second best rodeo in the world," Emmons said.
Emmons then noted that although there are no younger brothers or sisters in the Tew family to come to WC that he hasn't given up hope on the family's tradition continuing at the school.
"Maybe your kids," he said with a chuckle to Casey.
WC Rodeo Booster Club President Jim Hook stressed to the athletes that his group's goal is be there for them as best as they can, whether it's to provide scholarships or help in other ways. He also said the building of a new arena continues to be a goal of the club.
"Whatever it takes to bring the qualify of students we have now and will continue to have," Hook said.
Along with 13 straight years qualifying for CNFR, including the entire men's team in 2014, WC has had competitors win Southwest Region championships 17 times since 2006 and has three national champions since 2007.
Along with Wheeler and Tew, Arena Robertson won the Women's All-Around and Reserve Team Roping in 2008.
WC has also had 10 former Coyotes qualify 15 times for the WNFR, including Will Gasperson, Ryan Motes, Timber Moore, Clayton Hass, Reese Reimer, Clif Cooper, Jordon Peterson, Randall Carlisle, Brandon Beers and Dan Webb.
The Coyotes open the season Sept. 14-16 at the Eastern New Mexico University Rodeo in Portales, New Mexico.

Death to life
How important is life to you? Do you think death is the end? What if I told you that it was just the beginning? I believe that death is the first step in life, I never thought of death that way until I witnessed my father kill a group of chickens and explained to me about how death and killing was a part of life.
When I was just six years old I had never thought that up to that point death was such a big part of life, for life to begin something had to die. I learned this one day in late September when I realized how fragile life was and how death is only the beginning.
One cold September day, I was walking home from school the air was crisp and cool it was a beautiful day out, the trees were dancing in the wind some with the all to familiar colors of fall. I could only enjoy the sights before I had to get home. When I arrived nothing fairly interesting happened until my dad arrived. When I looked out the window and saw him I new something interesting was going to happen from the start.
You see when he came home in the back of his truck was a wire crate with chickens in it. When I saw it the first thing I did was I asked my mom if she new any thing about it and she said, "chickens what are you talking about why would your dad have chickens" as she looked out the window with surprise. Mean while I ran out the front door to see what was going on when I got outside my dad asked me to open the fence so we could get the chickens in the fence when I asked my dad where he got them and what they were for he said that the chickens came from his boss and I would see what they were for in a min. after we got them in the fence my dad took one out and pulled its head off. When I asked why and how he could just kill it like that he said, "It is part of life son, this chickens purpose was to be food for us, one thing dies so another can live."
After that day I saw life a little differently from then on I looked at life more scientifically and spiritually for an animal to live a plant or other animal has to die, and for life to start anew a person must die. Death is only the beginning.

Meghan Trainor made history when her single "All About That Bass" splashed onto the Official Singles Chart in the UK a couple of months ago. This was even before her single went on sale, so she charted solely on the strength of her streaming numbers.
Nobody had ever done that before.
Should we be surprised? Perhaps, but as streaming figures get integrated into singles and album charts around the world, this had to happen sooner or later. In this case, it was sooner. The UK charts began including streams in July 2014 – just when Meghan's track was beginning to make waves in the States.
How it happened is what's really interesting, so here's the real story of "All About That Bass".
Spotify Drives "All About That Bass" onto the UK Charts
In a sense, Meghan Trainor's story is the reverse of our Mr Probz "Anatomy of a Hit" story; because Spotify carried her song across the pond from the US to the UK, whereas it carried Mr Probz in the other direction. Also, whereas Mr Probz has now surpassed an incredible 3m downloads, the ascendance of "All About That Bass" was due entirely to streaming as the song was windowed from appearing in UK downloads stores.
Trainor's transatlantic journey began in the US with a free video and free download for "All About That Bass," with streams and sales starting on June 30. The track made the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US two weeks later; in the UK, the song appeared on Spotify on August 16 [updated]. It was withheld from UK download stores until September 27, eventually becoming the number one hit as it had in the US, albeit in a completely different way.
Let's first look how UK fans streamed the song during those build-up months of August and September, by comparing listens in Spotify's Browse section (curated by Spotify), Top Lists (based on popularity), and Users' Own Playlists (created by fans). During the early period, the Spotify-curated Browse section accounts for around two-thirds of the action; later, we can see fans actively collecting and playing the song in their own Spotify playlists:
"All About That Bass" gathered significant momentum on Spotify, propelling it 20 spots up the charts to number 33 by September 28, with 1.17 million eligible streams – making UK chart history. Spotify can proudly claim over 90 percent of the credit for this historical achievement, and our curated Browse playlists were the biggest factor.
Now, let's look at the anatomy of this hit the same way we did last time, by overlaying sales, streams, Shazams and radio plays. We'll do this in the US, where the track was released "normally," i.e. across all channels, and in the UK, where the track was not initially available as a downloadable purchase. This should allow us to see the effect of the song's UK sales windowing.
In The US, A Normal – and Perfect – Bell Curve
For Shazams, sales, and streams, the US graph shows what you might call a perfect bell curve: all three rise-and-fall together, with radio's peak lagging noticeably behind the curve:
Sitting beneath this perfect 'bell curve' is a remarkable 4 million downloads and over 50 million audio streams, the vast majority of which were on Spotify.
The UK Risks Leaving Engagement Behind the Curve
In the UK, the track was available on Spotify a month and a half before it went on sale as a download. You won't find the perfect US 'bell curve' here, although we can tease some order out from the chaos:
Tagging and streaming gathered momentum starting in mid-August when the song was C-Listed on BBC Radio One. An original and captivating video also contributed to the momentum (but not the chart) with a million UK views, still with no download for sale.
Highlighted in the above chart is the week ending September 28, when the song entered the UK's Official Singles Chart on the strength of its streaming performance alone. When the track finally was released on download stores the following week, its popularity as a stream doesn't appear to have dented its popularity for ownership, judging from the chart. The song then rocketed to number one in sales and streams.
So, did windowing work? Comparing the Shazam data to the sales data reveals a discrepancy between supply and demand. During the month and a half when the track was windowed from download stores, there was lots of demand, and only limited supply. There were considerably more Shazams prior to the release than there were first week sales.
So, this transatlantic story emphasizes what Mr Probz has already taught us: Playlists are without borders, driving the musical conversation irrespective of language (or accent). Meghan's story also sheds light on the perennial debate about release strategy, suggesting that when Shazams outstrip sales, there's a risk of leaving engagement — and money — on the table.
Overlaying these various data sources offers new insight into how hits happen, and how they differ. In an age of instant gratification the US bell curve is something to aspire to. If momentum rises and falls together across all of these areas, demand is met all around. BigChampagne founder Eric Garland famously coined the phrase, "popular is popular wherever it is popular." Six years on, the practice of windowing on any licensed platform — be it streaming or downloads — looks distinctly behind the curve.

text: I have one question and one question only concerning my new fretless bass. I recently made a purchase on a wonderfull new Cort Artisan B4 fretless, and I noticed only one thing wrong with it (I noticed this before the purchase, so it ain't my doing): the first "fret" notes on the G and D strings creates a rattle and a lack of sustain. It just RATTLES on the G# on G and D# on D. THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS PROBLEM, JUST A CURIOSITY. I bought the bass because it sounded great and looked great, and it still does. I just wanna know why it rattles there and how I can fix it (if I can). I can work around the problem regardless in my playing (6th "fret" of the D and A strings) by playing in a different position, I know. It's just no rattle, even if I don't worry about it, is not as good as no rattle. THANKS!

Bust-A-Move, or Puzzle Bobble as it is known to some, is a game that I've repurchased on every new system I've owned for many, many years. The obsession with Taito's little puzzle game started back in the heyday of the arcades and continued straight through the last generation of consoles. The gameplay and general formula hasn't changed much through the years, though some iterations of Bust-A-Move have been better than others. This latest release on the Xbox Live Arcade falls somewhere in the middle of the road.
Bust-A-Move follows the classic match-three design. Your aiming reticule sits at the bottom and it's up to you to direct colored orbs up into the puzzle above. If your shot hits and connects three or more of that same color, those bubbles will pop and clear away a portion of the screen. If you miss or don't connect three of the same colored bubbles, your shot will simply fill in more of the screen and create potential problems. Every few shots, the ceiling will start coming down to force the action.
In the single player puzzle game, the goal is to clear the entire screen. This usually involves either a few well placed shots or some clever use of the few special bubbles that exist.There are 135 puzzles to try your hand at with 270 more coming as downloadable content, as well as an infinite mode that lasts as long as you can survive.
In the versus mode, it is unlikely you'll ever clear the screen. This is because large chains -- made by clearing a few bubbles that a big string of other orbs is hanging from -- will send those bubbles over to the opponent's board as an attack.
If you've played Bust-A-Move before, then you know exactly what you're getting into here. There isn't anything drastically different about this version as compared with others. That doesn't mean it's a bad game -- the classic gameplay still holds up today. This being an XBLA release, a few online features have been added. Your Avatar will appear on screen in place of the other characters that other Bust-A-Move releases have starred. There are leaderboards to track your success or failures. And, of course, you can play the versus mode against friends or strangers online or off.
The visuals have been redone for the HD era, but they're still nothing special. Making matters worse are the bland menus and generic fonts slapped on top of the classic gameplay. The audio, too, is pretty weak. The classic and catchy tune from the arcade is absent and what's been put in its place was bad enough that I quickly turned down the sound on my TV.
The Verdict
Bust-A-Move Live is yet another release of a classic game. The formula hasn&#Array;t changed, which is a good thing. If you haven&#Array;t played it before, snag a copy and a friend for a great competitive puzzler. The few additions here -- online play, leaderboards, and Avatar support -- don't quite justify the $10 price tag if you&#Array;ve got this game in any of its myriad other incarnations.
