I received the Saddle Blanket covers in burgundy and was impressed by both the quality and the packaging. The covers themselves are really well made but what really made me feel good about my purchase was the TOOLS that came with the seat covers to help me put them on properly. I also liked that the headrest portion was separate from the seat portion. There was enough velcro and strapping to tie everything down firmly and smoothly. It is a time-consuming job, however.

RD hanger on the bike is bent, the brifters have some scratches and were twisted on the bars & the bartape needs replacing. I'll have to check the forks for alignment and check the steerer for damage.

Frida Kahlo (Mexican artist, 1907-1954) 1945 Self Portrait with her Xoloitzcuintle dog
Dog Days of Summer is the name for the most sultry period of summer, from about July 3 to Aug. 11. Named in early times by observers in countries bordering the Mediterranean, the period was determined to extend from 20 days before to 20 days after the conjunction of Sirius (the dog star) & the sun. The Greek poets Hesiod (ca. 750-650 BCE) & Aratus (ca. 310–240 BCE) refer, in their writings, to "the heat of late summer that the Greeks believed was actually brought on by the appearance of Sirius," a star in the constellation, that the later Romans, & we today refer to as Canis Major, literally the "greater dog" constellation. Homer, in the Iliad, references the association of "Orion's dog" (Sirius) with oncoming heat, fevers, & evil, in describing the approach of Achilles toward Troy:
Sirius rises late in the dark, liquid sky
On summer nights, star of stars,
Orion's Dog they call it, brightest
Of all, but an evil portent, bringing heat
And fevers to suffering humanity.

Hoefer's Earthbound Finds New Life in Marion
March 3, 2010 by Bob Ashley · Comments Off on Hoefer's Earthbound Finds New Life in Marion
After financial setbacks that caused Earthbound RV LLC to mothball operations in Middlebury, Ind., in the middle of 2009, the company and its unique "green" towable products are getting a second chance 90 miles to the southeast in the blue-collar community of Marion, Ind.
And in the process, so, too, is high-profile entrepreneur C. David Hoefer waging another commercial comeback.
Key to the move: an infusion of $2 million in private capital, $900,000 in state tax breaks over the next five years and $100,000 in state training grants.
Earthbound expects to hire 60 people this year to build lightweight, eco-friendly Earthbound-brand travel trailers while creating a total of 300 jobs 2013.
"Financing in Elkhart County is tough, very tough right now," Hoefer, Earthbound chairman and CEO, told RVBusiness. "And, in Elkhart County, you are just another RV company."
Contrary to popular belief throughout the RV industry, however, Earthbound did not go out of business, Hoefer reported. "We didn't actually close," said Hoefer who has had a hand in founding a number of companies over the years, including Dutchmen Manufacturing Inc. Hart Housing, Four Winds International Corp. and Pilgrim Inc. "We kept operating. We just ceased production."
The idea of moving to the Grant County community of Marion actually came last fall from one of Hoefer's sons, Charles Hoefer, who works for the city park department, and was aware of the fact that Earthbound was looking for an infusion of capital.
"He said, 'Marion is really looking for jobs. Would you consider (moving to) Marion?' I said, I didn't know why not. And about 45 minutes later, I got a text message that the mayor had told his people, 'We want Earthbound.' They put a full-court press on it."
Within days, Hoefer said, the city had lined up five banks to meet with Earthbound representatives, and later the state was brought into the negotiations.
"I've never seen such an aggressive group that is more intensely focused," Hoefer said. "These gentlemen worked 10, 12, 14 hour days to get us down there and convince us that that's where we belong."
At the time of the announcement in mid-February, Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels appeared in Marion and lauded the RV industry in general for its nascent recovery from the Great Recession. "As expected, the RV industry is reinventing itself and starting to bounce back," Daniels said. "We couldn't be happier to see the revolution happen here in Indiana, a state known for high-quality production and skilled workers."
Hoefer said Marion's manufacturing culture, which has sustained serious setback in recent years from both electronics and automotive industry closures, fits well with Earthbound. "Their culture is like our company's culture," Hoefer said. "They aren't sitting in committees talking about things. They are action people. They are aggressive. They are looking toward the future."
Wherever the company is located, Hoefer said that Earthbound's basic premise has not changed since it was founded in November 2008: to build high-quality RVs out of composite materials that only recently have come into use in the RV industry.
"Being able to put automobile-type quality like you get in today's Ford or GM product in a towable product … is our long-range goal," he told RVBusiness. "The entire unit is being constructed out of these (composite) materials."
In so doing, Earthbound is taking its cues from the automobile, marine and aircraft builders, according to Hoefer.
"Everything we're doing is not new," he said. "It's been done in other industries. The application is different. To do what we need to do, you can't do it with the same materials we've been using. If it weren't for TekModo (LLC) helping me get started on this process seven or eight years ago, this could not have happened."
The company, which also is being led by industry veterans President Ken Geljack and COO Bill Hughes, will build travel trailers in 22- to 30-foot lengths with $35,000 to $44,000 MSRPs with few options.
"It's really starting over right now," Hoefer said. Even though the prototyping is done and the product and material content is done, we are still working on second- and third-generation products that will be coming out in a year to two years."
Contrary to rumors that have been circulating since the announcement of the Earthbound's move to Marion, Hoefer maintained, the company is not for sale.
"In recent days, once they found out we had financing, others have become interested in us again," Hoefer said. "But it is not for sale and will not be sold. We are going to make it a nice company where people want to work and have fun and build product that we can be proud of."

Linux Magazine has a profile of Daniel Fore and the Elementary project. Elementary is a Linux distro that's committed to a clean and simple user experience, but it's more than a distro - it's actually a multi-pronged effort to make improvements to the user experience for a whole ecosystem of components, including icons, a GTK theme, Midori improvements, Nautilus, and even Firefox. The work that elementary is doing isn't limited to their own distro, and some of their work is available in current, and perhaps future, Ubuntu releases. The results are really striking, and I think it's probably the handsomest Linux UI I've ever seen.

We need two versions of Linux/*BSD UIs
by bousozoku on Fri 18th Jun 2010 23:06 UTC
We need two versions of UIs for Linux/*BSD: one ultimate GUI for consumers who aren't going to compile anything but just want to play a few casual games, browser the web, and manipulate e-mails. We need another GUI or TUI for those who want to tinker.
The lack of a single face still confuses ordinary consumers, among other things.
It's great to see people working toward such a goal but they're not going to get far until everyone agrees. At least, the latest Ubuntu release looks appealing for the most part, so a few are blazing a trail.

|Two ASWJ men among seven shot dead in city
|[Dawn] Seven men, including two holy mans said to be associated with the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat and an equal number of coppers, were bumped off in the city on Friday, police said.
They said that Maulana Dilfaraz Mauavia, 45, and his associate Haji Usman were targeted by two men riding a cycle of violence near the Denim Chowrangi within the remit of the SITE-A cop shoppe.
The two men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were rushed to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where Maulana Mauavia was pronounced dead on arrival while Haji Usman died during treatment, said SITE SP Ali Asif.
He said that the ASWJ claimed that Maulana Mauvia was associated with the party, while the second victim was said to be a former student of Jamia Binoria.
An ASWJ front man said that Maulana Mauvia was a leader of the party's Baldia Town chapter and he along with his associate Haji Usman was heading home after offering Friday prayers.
Late Friday night, two ASWJ activists were targeted in the Gulbahar area, the police said.
The officials said that Naveed Ahmed and Muhammad Sohail were sitting near a shop in Phoolwali Gali where they were fired at in a drive-by shooting. The maimed were rushed to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where Naveed died during treatment. The killings took place at a time when ASWJ workers were staging protest demonstrations in different parts of the city over assassinations of its activists and supporters.
Two coppers bumped off
...back at the shouting match, the spittle had reached unprecedented levels...
two coppers were rubbed out in different areas of the city, officials said.
They added that police constable Akhtar Ali was bumped off in the Metroville area of Site.
The police said that the police constable was heading home from work on a motorbike when he was targeted by gunnies riding a cycle of violence.
The victim was posted in the Site-B cop shoppe.
The police shifted the body to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
A young police official was rubbed out in Manghopir on Friday night, officials said.
They added said that police constable Nadeem Baloch, 28, was riding a bike when he was targeted within the remit of the Manghopir bazaar cop shoppe.
The police said that the victim was not in uniform.
They shifted the body to the Civil Hospital Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
'>Bloody Karachi for medico-legal formalities.
Killing in North Bloody Karachi
A young man was bumped off in what the police described as a targeted attack in North Bloody Karachi on Friday.
The police said that gunnies riding a cycle of violence fired at Maqsood Ali, 32, who was returning home after offering Friday prayers in Sector 5-C-2 within the jurisdiction of the Khawaja Ajmer Nagri cop shoppe.
He was rushed to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
on arrival, they said.
North Bloody Karachi SP Syed Salman Hussain said that the victim was not active in any political or religious party. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the victim's elder brother, Hafiz Ahmed Ali, was an office-bearer of the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam
...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...
in Bloody Karachi.
Man rubbed out
A young man was rubbed out in the New Bloody Karachi Industrial Area on Friday evening, police said.
They said that Mohammad Kashif and his friend Faisal were having tea outside an auto-workshop when gunnies riding a cycle of violence pulled up there, pumped two bullets in Kashif's head and rode away, said North Bloody Karachi SP Hussain.
It was not immediately clear whether the victim had affiliation with any political or religious party, the police said.
The body was shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities.
Killing in Korangi
A middle-aged man was killed in Korangi on Friday, police said.
They said that gunnies riding a motorbike opened fire on a jeep near Singer Chowrangi within the remit of the Awami Colony cop shoppe and rode away. The bullets hit Abdul Sattar, 40, who was rushed to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
on arrival.
The police were not sure about the motive for the killing.
They said that the victim was previously affiliated with the proscribed Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain
...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was
bannedin 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts...
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
the ASWJ, believed to be the reincarnation of the banned SSP, did not own the victim as their worker or supporter.
Minor girl found 'raped', murdered
The body of a six-year-old girl was found at a desolate place in Gulshan-e-Iqbal on Friday.
Police said that the girl had gone missing on Thursday noon in Sikandar Goth and her father, a tailor by profession, lodged a report regarding her disappearance with the Sachal cop shoppe after he failed to find her.
He informed the police that his daughter was playing outside the home but did not return.
On Friday evening, the body was found in a deserted lane within the remit of the Mobina Town cop shoppe. The body was shifted to the JPMC for a post-mortem examination.
Although, the findings of the post-mortem examination were not immediately known, the police suspected that the little girl had been subjected to a sexual assault before being murdered. There were marks of strangulation around the neck, the police said.

text: Hi all.. I am currently playing around with setting up ISPconfig3 on my VPS. I have followed a guide for this, and has everything working out fine, exept mod_rewrite. However, because I am realtively new to ISPconfig, I wanted to just test it out, before making a more "complete" install on the VPS (clean system). In the guide I followed, there where alot of extra packages included in the commands I just followed without any modifications (as I said,, just for testing out ISPconfig3). Here is the guide: ISPconfig3 on ubuntu 10.04 Translated to English: ISPconfig3 on ubuntu 10.04 I will be mostly running the VPS's domains/clients as suEXEC/suPHP, with own mailserver + mysql/phpmyadmin + mod_rewrite available to all clients that need it as default(htaccess). So my questions are: what modules/packages can I leave out/add (according to the guide above) - during the apache/php/ispconfig3 setup to have it function as I mentioned above? how can I set the mod_rewrite=on, to all vhosts, including the main /var/www/index.html host/vhost. ex: when adding new client/site: mod_rewrite=on by default. Where can I change the "interact-with-user-templates" (example: the email sent to new email accounts ++) is there a admin/module "Create-New-User", where default values (that mostly will be the same on every creation, except name/uname/pass/domain - to simplify the creation of new clients/sites/ftp/email in one go? any scripts out there u know about? please let me know. I will start over with a complete clean / updated ubuntu 10.04 system later today/evening, with nothing installed except the distro. Any pointers on what I need or not need during the installation, are welcomed Thanks everybody that can give me some tips!! EDIT: Welcome Email point (3): -Tom

MAX7221 would be a better chip for this situation because it's supposed to have lower EMI.
QuoteMAX7221 would be a better chip for this situation because it's supposed to have lower EMI.What makes you say that?
Any high speed digital signals generate signals that can be picked up on audio circuits, it is quite common.You need to make sure your analogue ground and your digital ground are kept separate and only joined at one point. Keep digital lines as far away as possible from analogue lines. Make sure the digital power supply is separate or at least decoupled from the analogue supply.You can also limit the bandwidth of the audio circuits so they don't pick up as much.Yes tiding up that rats nest will help but without correct layout it will not be enough.
so the +5V line is being shared between the digital and analog ICs.

Asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка
The GTX has proven to be at the top of the food chain in the single GPU arena. AMD has taken shots with the HD, falling short on performance, but mitigating that with better pricing.
With that said, ASUS has brought together a video card in the ENGTX DirectCU II that pushes the performance a little further, with clock speeds that get a small boost for a very modest pricing upside over a reference card, currently selling for $ What you get from ASUS is a card packed full of all its performance improvements that include the massive dual-fan DirectCU II heat sink package that improves cooling airflow by %, ASUS Super Hybrid Engine and SAP 8 phase power circuitry for improved performance and cooler operation, and ASUS' own exclusive protective designs that feature GPU guard, Fuse protection, and a dust proof fan.
All these are upsides over the reference design that add some serious value to the package. If you pay any attention to HWbot or any benchmarking news, you know that the ASUS GTX DirectCU II is the card of choice when running an NVIDIA GPU. This speaks volumes about the PCB layout and design of the card as a whole. They are absolute beasts when put under LN2 with the right voltage modifications.
The key is how this all relates to the average enthusiast concerned with having a good solid card to make it through the next round of game releases. Let's see how this card handles as delivered and see if it does indeed have the abilities set forth with the build quality and cooling solution.
Closer Look:
Packaging-wise, the ENGTX DirectCU II mirrors much of the ASUS lineup with the Warrior on horseback loaded for war. The green background signifies this card is part of ASUS' NVIDIA-based GPU lineup.
The DirectCU II features asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка noted prominently on the front of the box with the boast of a 20% improvement in cooling performance. Asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка mentions include SAP technology, DirectX 11 support, and that the ENGTX DirectCU II is factory-overclocked to MHz on the GF Fermi core. The back side of the box lists the features and system requirements, in addition to expanding on the explanation of ASUS Super Alloy Power technology, the direct contact DirectCU II cooling design, and ASUS' own voltage tweak software utility.
Inside the outer sleeve, ASUS delivers much more than the plain cardboard box to hold the contents.
ASUS delivers an elegant black box with the ASUS name embossed in gold on the lid. Inside, the theme continues with the coloring. The ENGTX DirectCU II is surrounded by a foam sleeve that houses not only the video card, but the included accessories.
The documentation and driver disk are housed in the small disk-sized package inset into the foam sleeve.
The list of bundled accessories is slim, but asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка all that is really needed to get the ENGTX DirectCU II installed and operating into a asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка.
Included is a disk that holds the drivers and ASUS' proprietary software suite with Smart Doctor and Gamer OSD.
The hardware side of the bundle includes asus gtx 580 directcu ii розетка extended SLI bridge connector, DVI to VGA adapter, and a dual 6-pin PCIe to 8-pin PCIe power adapter. The SLI bridge is significantly longer than a standard bridge connection and is needed due to the three-slot DirectCU II cooling solution.
The packaging and bundle are standard for ASUS, but let's take a look at the ENGTX DirectCU II to see where the standard stops and unique begins.

Director Sues Paramount And Universal After Both Deny Knowing Who Holds The Rights To His Film
from the ownership-culture dept
Friedkin is the director and producer of the 1977 motion picture Sorcerer.... Friedkin is also a profit participant in the Picture, and owns a print. Although Defendants Paramount... and Universal... have previously had certain rights to exploit the Picture in the United States, each has recently disclaimed rights to exploit the Picture in the United States, and admitted ignorance as to who, if anyone, currently has such rights. Bafflingly, however, defendants persist in denying that Friedkin has any rights to exploit the Picture. Friedkin has filed this action to obtain a declaration as to the parties' respective rights in the Picture.It does seem fairly crazy that such an issue should end up in court, and it appears the court thinks so too. While the original was filed in California State Court, recently it was removed to federal court by the defendants, and the court immediately directed them to its alternative dispute resolution (ADR) program in the hopes that this gets settled outside of litigation. Either way, it seems like a pretty crazy situation where the studios deny the filmmaker the right to show the film, while at the same time refusing to explain what rights they do have in the film.

"With dual-stick controls and a full 3D panoramic view, the game puts you in the seat of a strategically placed turret. Over 130 upgrade combinations and endless survival mode gives you hours and hours of playtime."
Lock, loaded and ready to shoot down some alien scum?
The first game from Com2uS' 2010 lineup is a graphically stunning, intergalactic shooter game called Heavy Gunner 3D. The game places you in a futuristic time where alien weapon technology is as commonplace as water guns. As alien invaders rain down from above, you man a turret armed to the bone with gatling guns, EMPs, missiles and a boat load of weaponry.
Full 360 panoramic view with an array of 3D-modeled enemy spacecrafts.
Eight different types of weapons with over 130 possible upgrade combinations allow you to transform your simple turret into a full blown death star taking down alien invaders from all over the galaxy. The controls are simple to learn but require a special 'touch' to master. Simply pressing down on the dual v-pads allows you to shoot a gun on both sides, but with each circular shooting pad, you are allowed to control the aim of each gun individually.
A cartridge full of playtime with a load of features
Heavy Gunner 3D gives you a bang for your buck with endless playtime, loaded with 35 missions, a survival mode, and 50 achievements. Similar to many dual-stick shooters, the enemies come at you in swarms like flies at an outdoor barbeque. However, unlike most dual stick shooters, Heavy Gunner 3D places the camera in first person view. The game increases re-playability with 3 options of difficulty levels. The easy level may give you the feeling of an untouchable turret, but don't be fooled because the harder levels make it more and more difficult to hold your ground.
Com2uS has also been holding beta tests for two other games that are currently in the works. Caligo Chaser, a slash and dash action-arcade game with customizable clothes and attack skills. IMO: World of Magic, is a fully-featured MMORPG contained within a massive virtual world. All three Com2uS games have been highly anticipated by the iPhone community.

shaun, that's not really that big a problem - if you're willing to pay the weight penalty of disc brakes, then what's an extra 10 spokes?
i don't see discs taking off on road bikes. but then, it's dangerous making those sorts of predictions
Now you've got me confused...
How does radial spoking alter the spoke count?
Nobody wrote:Remember the Goodyear ad on TV? "If it only saves you once a year...". To me, it's not about averages or how often, it's about that one time you're caught out in the rain and you have a car pull out in front of you while on a decent. For the sake of a few hundred dollars and some weight, I'll be less likely to need to reflect on the worst case scenario while lying in a hospital bed.
Yep, that's why I lashed out on a disc braked bike as a dedicated commuter. Might be overkill most of the time but 'tis better to be overgunned and not need it than the alternative. Not. Going. Back.

BATON ROUGE — Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has pledged a more than $135 million incentive package to South African energy company Sasol Ltd. to build a multibillion-dollar complex in southwest Louisiana to turn natural gas into chemicals, diesel and other fuels.
Incentives include tax breaks, a $20 million worker training facility and a $115 million payment to the company for land and infrastructure that will be left to a future governor's administration and lawmakers to fund.
Sasol announced this week that it will spend between $16 billion and $21 billion on the construction of a chemical plant and a gas-to-liquids plant that will turn natural gas into diesel, at a site in Westlake, near Lake Charles. The project is described as the largest manufacturing investment in Louisiana's history.
Jindal called it "one of the most significant economic development wins our state — and our nation — has ever recorded."
The governor's office said Sasol will create 1,250 new permanent jobs and an LSU study said the project will generate an economic impact of $46 billion over 20 years.
Landing the facility in Louisiana comes with a sizable financial commitment by the state, though the spending is on track to be less than what was promised by the Jindal administration to Nucor Corp.'s iron and steel plant in St. James Parish.
If all five phases of the $3.4 billion Nucor facility are built, the state's incentive package would pay out $160 million in loans and grants, on top of state and local tax breaks and tax-free borrowing capacity through a hurricane recovery program.
For the Sasol project, the largest slice of money pledged by the state is $115 million to reimburse the costs of buying the land and paying for infrastructure for the energy complex, which will be located on a 650-acre site near Sasol's existing chemical facilities in the area.
Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret said the funding will be divided into two payments, $57.5 million a year, starting in the 2016-17 budget year, when the Jindal administration is out of office.
Moret said the dollars will come from either the state's construction budget or a set-aside economic development fund that is used for large-scale manufacturing projects and that currently doesn't have enough money to cover the full payment promised to Sasol.
"The state funds will not be provided until after construction begins," Moret wrote in an email, saying Sasol must build the entire project to receive the full incentive package.
The Jindal administration also agreed to spend $20 million on a new industrial training center and equipment at SOWELA Technical Community College in Lake Charles, to help ready new employees for Sasol.
The chemical plant is slated to begin operation in 2017, and the diesel plant is scheduled to come on line in two stages beginning in 2018 and 2019, according to the company.
In addition to the cash payments and the training site, Sasol also will be able to take advantage of tax break programs that will provide payroll rebates of up to 15 percent for its new jobs and an industrial tax exemption.
When asked, Moret didn't say what his department estimated those tax break programs might cost the state, instead saying the amounts will be decided based on payroll levels, capital investment and other factors.

text: IRS releases long-awaited draft FFI Agreement and previews updates to FATCA regulations International Tax Compliance Alert Share this 5 NOV 2013 By: Witold (Witek) Jurewicz Michael Greenberg The IRS has released Notice 2013-69, including a draft FFI Agreement and several intended updates to the existing Treasury Regulations implementing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). The draft FFI Agreement outlines the obligations of foreign financial institutions (FFIs) that will register with the IRS to become participating FFIs (PFFIs) under FATCA. FFIs and their branches located in countries that have entered into a Model 2 intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the United States (Model 2 FFIs) will also be required to agree to comply with the terms of an FFI Agreement, as modified by the terms of the applicable Model 2 IGA. PFFIs and Model 2 FFIs will avoid the new 30 percent FATCA withholding tax on US source payments made to FFIs, beginning July 1, 2014. THE DRAFT FFI AGREEMENT The draft FFI Agreement comes on the heels of the opening of the FATCA Registration Website in August this year.i PFFIs and Model 2 FFIs must agree to comply with the terms of an FFI Agreement as part of their FATCA registration. The draft FFI Agreement is substantially consistent with the final Treasury Regulations implementing FATCA and subsequent Treasury guidance. The Notice provides that the draft FFI Agreement will be finalized by December 31, 2013. With respect to a PFFI or a branch of a PFFI, the effective date of an FFI Agreement is the later of the date on which the IRS issues a Global Intermediary Identification Number (GIIN) to the PFFI or its branch, or June 30, 2014. An FFI Agreement entered into by a PFFI or Model 2 FFI will expire on December 31, 2016, unless terminated under the terms of the FFI Agreement on an earlier date. An FFI Agreement may be renewed by a PFFI or Model 2 FFI under the procedure set forth in the FFI Agreement. NEW FATCA CATEGORY FOR PASSIVE NFFES – A WELCOME CHANGE Under forthcoming Treasury Regulations, non-financial foreign entities (NFFEs)ii that would otherwise be classified as "passive NFFEs"iii will be able to avoid being so classified if they: (i) elect to report directly to the IRS on Form 8966 (FATCA Report)iv certain information about their direct or indirect substantial US owners, in lieu of providing such information to withholding agents or PFFIs, and (ii) register with the IRS to obtain a GIIN. Withholding agents and PFFIs will have to identify and document these "direct reporting NFFEs" in a manner similar to how they will document a PFFI, including by verifying the direct reporting NFFE's GIIN on the published IRS FFI List.v This new category is a welcome development because it allows NFFEs to avoid disclosure of their ownership structure to withholding agents and PFFIs – a particularly sensitive issue for certain foreign trusts and property and casualty insurance and reinsurance companies. CERTAIN SECTION 953(d) COMPANIES NOW CONSIDERED US PERSONS The Notice specifies that the IRS and Treasury Department intend to modify the definition of "US person" in the final Treasury Regulations implementing FATCA to include certain foreign insurance companies that have elected to be treated as domestic corporations for federal tax purposes. As a result, property and casualty insurers and reinsurers and other insurers and reinsurers that are not "specified insurance companies"vi that have made such an election generally should not be subject to FATCA reporting. The final Treasury Regulations implementing FATCA exclude such electing entities from the definition of a US person if such entities are not licensed to do business in any state. COORDINATION OF BACKUP WITHHOLDING WITH FATCA WITHHOLDING In the case of a withholdable paymentvii that is also a reportable paymentviii made by a PFFI or Model 2 FFI to a recalcitrant account holder, backup withholding will not apply if tax is withheld under FATCA, unless backup withholding is elected. COORDINATION OF FORM 1099 REPORTING WITH FATCA REPORTING PFFIs and FFIs that are not US payors or US middlemen and that are located in IGA countries will be excused from Form 1099 reporting if they report relevant account information pursuant to an FFI Agreement or pursuant to an applicable Model 1 IGA. FATCA ENTERS INTO FORCE SOON – ARE YOU READY? Withholding under FATCA begins July 1, 2014. Financial institutions that have not already considered the steps necessary to become FATCA compliant should do so now. Financial institutions worldwide can begin entering their registration information into the FATCA Registration Website now, using the remainder of 2013 to become familiar with the website. Starting in January 2014, financial institutions will be expected to finalize their registration information. This should be done by April 25, 2014, in order to be included on the first monthly IRS FFI List, which will be posted on June 2, 2014 and used for verification by withholding agents. For more information about FATCA compliance, please contact the authors. MORE FROM DLA PIPER Using the new FATCA registration website: FAQs for financial institutions IRS opens online FATCA registration system: financial institutions may now sign in The final FATCA Regulations: highlights i Available here. ii An NFFE is a foreign entity that is not a financial institution. iii FATCA imposes a withholding tax on withholdable payments to a passive NFFE unless the NFFE (i) certifies to the withholding agent that it does not have any "substantial US owners"; or (ii) provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each "substantial US owner" of the NFFE to the withholding agent, which, in turn, transmits that information to the IRS. iv A draft Form 8966 was released by the IRS on August 13, 2013. v The IRS will publish a list of registered and approved FFIs and their GIINs every month. This list is scheduled to be published monthly beginning June 2014. vi These are insurance companies or holding companies that issue, or are obligated to make payments with respect to, a cash value insurance or annuity contracts. vii A "withholdable payment" generally includes US source income and gross proceeds from any sale or other disposition after December 31, 2016, of property that can produce US source interest or dividends. viii A "reportable payment" means a payment of interest or dividends, as defined in section 3406(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and other reportable payments, as defined in section 3406(b)(3) of the Code, made to a US person.

Thank you, Elizabeth Ruiz, for the great job you did organizing and running the 55th annual Day Lily Show of the Dighton Community Church that took place on July 20.
Thank you, Elizabeth Ruiz, for the great job you did organizing and running the 55th annual Day Lily Show of the Dighton Community Church that took place on July 20.
Elizabeth and her husband, Jordan, and their little son, Riley (age 2½) worked countless hours and, with the help of some wonderful folks in the Dighton Community Church, accomplished a very special event. Elizabeth's mom and dad and sisters stepped up, too, and gave great effort to her success.
Liz's chosen show theme, "Nature's Beauty," allowed for imaginative designs and flights of creative fancy, even including a day lily "campfire" complete with s'mores, and Liz's inclusion of local businesses on the display roster was a new direction for the show.
Not only did individuals and organizations participate, as always, but local companies got to provide their business information in a wonderful non-commercial floral setting.
Elizabeth had asked the Dighton Historical Society to participate and decorate the Ives Room with historical memorabilia, and when their founder, Elaine Varley, town historian, passed away shortly before the show, they decided to dedicate all of their displays to her. It was a beautiful and moving tribute — history and flowers for Elaine. Of course, thanks and deep appreciation go to Tranquil Lake Nursery of Rehoboth, who gave the day lilies without which the show could not have happened.
They have been generously supplying the day lilies for this show for many years.
And, no thank you would be complete without a special mention of gratitude to organist Patrick Menges, whose four hours of continuous music played on the 300-year-old pipe organ enhanced the entire event. Thanks also to Eugene Goodson, who stopped by and sang a few lovely baritone solos early in the afternoon.
Overall, the weather was perfect, the flowers were beautiful, the church setting was spectacular and the great food and cold drinks served under the trees were excellent. Thanks again, Liz!

Pin Up Girls Tattoo Meaning and Designs
Pinup girl tattoos are hot and that is not just referring to the physical beauty of the girl in the tattoo. No I mean they are a hot tattoo theme to get done these days as they are definetly comming back in style in a big way!
Pinup girl tattoos have a pretty long history in the field of tattoos. Pin up girls as a word or phrases has come to mean a girl that is so beautiful that you would want to pin up or post her image on the wall.
So naturally pinup girl tattoos are all tattoos of super hot girls. Now historically what was thought of as "Hot" and what might be "hot" today has changed.
What I mean to say is a traditional pinup girl tattoo is not going to be wearing a thong and low rise jeans with a bucket cap on or anything that modern.
In fact pin up girls have had such a long history in our society that many of the more traditional designs were a lot less risky in today's terms then they once were.
Very basically then a pinup girl tattoo is any tattoo that falls ino the category of having a really beautiful women incorporated into the tattoo design.
Traditonally the whole body of the women was displayed in the tattoo and they were typically lying down, bent over or even in a wine glass.
Whatever the pose might be it typically was in a sexy come hither type of pose with the women's face looking directly at the viewer.
Very often pinup girl tattoo will go along with other symbols also. Probably the most classic is the old sailor pinup girl tattoo with an anchor. Other common add ons are good luck tattoo like dice, cards, horseshoe and etc.

It might be completely wrong. If so, feel free to correct. Here's the rest of the lyrics, same chords should apply... Run, run rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun, And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to start another one For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide And balanced on the biggest wave You race toward an early grave.

That OK Computer lead guitar sound sounds really dated now
haha, unlucky.
- SarcasticFringehead, monoshono, JaguarPirate, and Royter-Hatfood this'd this
'I wish Radiohead would go back to a more rock sound'
'They're a good rock band'
it's not though
even put next to OK computer.
My Iron Lung for all it's great guitar work is let down by one of Thom's poorer lyrics and the affectation he uses with his voice.
Fake Plastic Trees - great song. But too torchy. Too obvious. With the rest of their songs, even their more poppier moments, there's so much more going on.
And I could go on.
Telex, Street Spirit, Bulletproof aside each track is weaker than most of the rest of their following output.
The Bends is a Radiohead guitar record with more rockers on it than any of their others (HTTF gets disqualified for having too many glitchy tracks shoehorned in) which doesn't really have a glaring weak track on it (maybe..) - and from that perspective one might call it their best. They'd be wrong though. Maybe their most rocky + cohesive.
Also a great album when one is in an angsty state of affairs. Very cathartic.
cd wearing out?
just buy another chief
It is sixteen years old. That said, it is a great fucking record, and it'll get a remaster to fit it to your clever modern ears one day.
I am currently listening to Pink Flag.
The guitar sound is so immense. I thought as this is a thread about guitar sounds I would post it in here.
can you link me a youtube or specify a particular track to back that up
I'd like to investigate
Radiohead are really going to suffer from sounding dated I think.
Like you know the way you listen to Phil Collins or Peter Gabriel or Dire Straits and it just has that sound to it. Well that's Radiohead. It's uncool dad music, or at least that's what it's destined to become.urbanfox and Royter-Hatfood this'd this
the cure sounds dated but they remain as cool as ever
so do the smiths, new order, roxy music.
Radiohead have sort of a geeky aesthetic compared to them but are generally loved by the population and important enough to avoid becoming said "uncool dad music".
a 12 year old in 2025 may not like it but they wouldn't know any better until they were older anyway.
hardly any kids these days listen to the smiths or new order
and absolutely none of them listen to roxy music. none of them.
a few have probably picked up the best of the cure after seeing them headline glastonbury or wherever it was.
i'm fairly sure the smiths and new order are still huge bands for teenagers discovering "indie" music, unless things have changed dramatically in the 5 years since I was 16.
you're probably right about roxy music though.
you really don't think teenagers are listening to that stuff?
cus i sure as hell was 4 years ago, and so were my friends
maybe you're not giving angst-ridden kids in 2012 enough credit
The Smiths and Radiohead
are the two token I'm getting into alt/indie music bands for most kids. My sister is 14 and she listens to both all the fucking time.furio this'd this
Can i just say...
16 year olds are definitely listening to all this 80s indie.
I'm not having users on this forum slag off Dire Straits.
Great band, proper guitars, proper haircuts.
- DaddyorChips, furio, Yvash, niallKP, urbanfox, splitterwill, SCROTUM, and Noblet this'd this
Stuff sounding dated is never a bother for me
If its of its era that's fine as long as the albums and songs have merit
Does it?
I mean does it really? No, not particularly. Nowhere near as dated as the Marr jangle and there are new bands around now who do that anyway. The production style is maybe a tiny bit dated but music doesn't become 'uncool dad music' by virtue of its contemporary production aesthetics.
I'd agree, but then good production is pretty much a thing of the past ain't it?
The only song I think suffers
is Lucky.
All the rest doesn't sound especially dated, not in the same way as, say, Grace by Jeff Buckley for example.
It's fitting that people are starting to worry about them sounding dated and uncool at the same time Thom Yorke decided to grow a Rossi ponytail.GilbertGread this'd this
- Raanraals this'd this
still better then half the shit out today
that opening guitar roar/swagger of Airbag
still makes me tingle. Funnily enough I'm remninded of a Neil Hannon quote on how hearing it at the time made him feel like the guitar sounded vital again.
By the way... horrible surprise for you. Everything dates. I think most of the Britpop era has dated far more quickly. Also, think Radiohead make the music they do right now feeling this way themselves about their pre-Kid A output. What they do now has so much more subtlety of sound.
I actually think they could take a few tracks off of The Bends and Kid A and re-record them in a live setting and explore them in a way that'd be worth doing as an EP - Bulletproof, Telex, Talk Show Host would all work like that.
Airbag IS basically the best guitar riff ever. Never get bored of hearing it or playing it.
Also spot on about Britpop. I can't imagine anyone disagrees though to be honest, I mean Blur's stuff especially. Some good songs but so of it's time it's ludicrous.
Hmm, Pet Sounds & Revolver don't exactly sound 21st century either.
OK Computer might have been a little over rated when it was released, but it's still a great album.
guitars are old-hat now mate
laptops are where it's at innit
The "kids"
Who cares what they listen to now anyway? Listen to what you want to listen to - I actually was listening to Kid A today and realized how less fresh it sounds now than when it came out. But, that's the way things go - doesn't mean it's not a good album.
That Beatles drum sound is so dated
That Dr Dre saw lead is so dated
That Bob Dylan acoustic guitar sound is so dated
what do guitars sound like now?
different, I guess
They've all been slowly detuning themselves
Stuff from the 50s is in a key you can't even imagine.
Dated might be the wrong word
it just sounds kind of bad taste, the effect on the paranoid android solo springs to mind (not got time to check)

Scotland's Proper Games took home honours at BAFTA Scotland, claiming the first award in the board's games category for Flock!, the downloadable title published by Capcom this spring.
Voting was limited to Scotland-developed titles, but it was still the first year the Scotland organisation of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts recognised video games for specific honours.
Flock beat out Championship Manager Express 2010 (by Dynamo Games) and Low Grav Racer (Cobra Mobiles). Proper's creative director, Geoff Gunning, said the Dundee-based studio was amazed "to be recognised by such a prestigious body". He added that the studio's working on an unannounced product and will be developing downloadable titles in the near future.

March 27, 2012
By -, -
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Jennifer Ringle of Lee (Tenn.) has been tabbed as the NAIA National Softball Player of the Week and Nickayla Skinner of College of Idaho has been named the NAIA National Softball Pitcher of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Ringle and Skinner were chosen based on their performances from March 19 – 25 out of a pool of conference player of the week selections among 24 conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Ringle, a Rio Vista, Calif., native, hit a blistering .733 (11-for-15) in leading the Lady Flames to four victories on the week. Her biggest performance came in a 19-5 non-conference rout of Point (Ga.) on March 21 when she went 4-for-4 with a grand slam, a double, six RBIs and three runs scored. She followed that up with a 2-for-3 effort that included another home run and two runs in Lee's 8-0 shutout of Point in the second game of the doubleheader. She recorded her second four-hit game of the week on March 24 in a 13-5 blowout over conference foe Brewton-Parker (Ga.).
The 5-foot-2 junior infielder finished the week with two home runs, 10 RBIs and nine runs. Ringle ranks sixth nationally in triples (5), 10th in hits (47) and 24th in runs scored (31).
Skinner, a native of Mountain Home, Idaho, continued her dominant work in the circle for the Lady Yotes. She began her week by tossing a seven-inning, 12-strikeout, two-hit shutout in a 4-0 win over Concordia (Ore.) on March 23. She then fired another shutout two days later against Eastern Oregon as she allowed just one hit while again striking out a dozen batters. The 5-foot-7 sophomore workhorse also notched a five-inning, two-hit shutout in an 8-0 win over Northwest Christian (Ore.) on March 24, which ended up being the second of three shutouts in as many days.
For the week, Skinner went 3-1 with a save in 25 innings of work. She struck out 37 hitters and allowed only nine hits and seven walks. She ranks second in the NAIA in saves (5), fourth in fewest hits allowed per nine innings (3.62), fifth in opponent batting average (.119), sixth in strikeouts (122), seventh in ERA (0.72) and 13th in wins (11). In her last 39.2 innings pitched, Skinner has surrendered just one run.

CRESTVIEW � Nearly 100 residents learned more about the Crestview Police Department and other community organizations during Tuesday�s National Night Out, officials said.
CRESTVIEW � Nearly 100 residents learned more about the Crestview Police Department and other community organizations during Tuesday�s National Night Out, officials said.
The department and the National Association of Town Watch sponsored the event, which promotes crime and drug prevention awareness. In addition to participating in several family-friendly activities, including playing in a bounce house and face painting, visitors browsed police department vehicles including a police cruiser and SWAT vehicle.
See National Night Out photos>>
"I've been living out here for 14 years now and I didn't realize that they had a SWAT vehicle," Michael Pawlak said.
In addition, visitors could tour a converted EMS vehicle and see some of the equipment the department uses.
Volunteers at tables for the Mid-Town Neighborhood Watch and the North Okaloosa/Crestview Community Emergency Response Team handed out information on their groups.
"We just wanted to come out and support the community," said Pawlak, whose children were excited to see Burger King handing out free hamburgers and bottled water.
Deana White invited her parents, Gary and Bonnie White, and brought her 8-month-old daughter, Aralynn Callins.
"We want to give her new experiences," she said.
One new experience was introducing Aralynn to Blossom the skunk, a rescued animal from the Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge.
Susan Leveille, the refuge�s assistant director, was excited to be part of the event.
"We love events that promote safe situations for children and education," she said.

Marisa Corti
Hometown: Ridgefield, Conn.
Major: Adult Nurse Practitioner
WCSU Degree: Master of Science in Nursing - Adult Nurse Practitioner
Internships: Clinical hours in the Pre-Admission Testing and Urgent Care Centers of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and Pintauro Medical Group -- a primary care office in the Bronx
Honors and Awards:3.75 GPA
Activities:Work full time as a clinical nurse at Memorial Sloan Kettering CancerCenter (MSKCC); member of Evidence-Based Practice Committee, which investigates best nursing practices and ensures that the Center is up-to-date regarding best patient care and JCAHO Preparedness Committee, which ensures that the staff and unit are ready to face an unannounced audit by the accrediting body; Visiting Nurse Service of Ridgefield flu-shot clinic volunteer; perform hearing tests for pre-school children; listed as an Emergency Response Volunteer for Fairfield County
Marisa Corti has taken a winding path to her current career as an adult nurse practitioner. "This is my second career and third degree," she says. "The first was a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and I worked for IBM for 14 years in various administrative positions."
Corti says she became very interested in medicine later on in life. "I decided to go into nursing because I liked the nursing model of patient care. As a nurse, the patient is treated as a whole and we realize that there are many variables that influence a person's state of wellness. Therefore, we are not just focused on the condition. Nurses address these variables when considering plans of care. Nurse practitioners play a vital role in helping with disease prevention and health promotion through teaching and taking into account the patient's cultural beliefs and values to enhance compliance. I believe this is a necessary skill given the spiraling costs of health care. Because nurse practicitioners have a more autonomous role in patient care, we can take the time to teach the patient what he or she needs to know in order to take better care of themself and, hopefully, avoid the onset of a serious illness or catch one in its earliest stages."
On the road to becoming a nurse, Corti attended the College of Mount St. Vincent as an undergraduate, where she majored in nursing. When she was ready to pursue her master's, Corti decided to come to WestConn. "I already had a long commute to work," she says. "I didn't want a long commute to school."
Once here, Corti found the faculty not only knowledgeable, but inspirational as well. "Not only was Professor of Nursing Dr. Patricia Lund my thesis adviser, but I also viewed her as my mentor," she says. "She is an inspiration because she has accomplished so many things while working, raising a family and furthering her education. Her words of encouragement enabled me to plow through the drudgery of thesis writing. She made it seem easy."
Asked what she will remember most about her WestConn experience, Corti says, "I will miss listening to the orchestra practice while I was sitting in class and I will also miss all my fellow students. They were some of the most kindest, supportive people I have ever encountered, and I learned so much from them."
Corti's advice to new students entering WCSU is: "I would tell incoming students that whatever they choose to study, make sure it is something that they love -- or at least are very interested in -- because they'll be more likely to pour their heart into it and to be good at it. Money is not important; happiness is. Do what you love."

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The University of Arkansas men's basketball program will be well represented in the inaugural Arkansas Men's College Basketball All-Star Game this Saturday, April 5, at Summit Arena in Hot Springs, Ark.
Senior guards Rickey Scott Jr., and Mardracus Wade along with senior forward Coty Clarke have accepted invitations to compete in the men's college All-Star contest.
This first-ever All-Star game, which is being hosted by Arkansas Alumni Classic Inc., will feature most of the top 20 male and female basketball seniors encompassing those colleges from the state of Arkansas. The men's college basketball all-star game starts at 5:30 p.m. with the Arkansas Legends All-Star contest to follow at 7:30 p.m. The women's college basketball all-star game is slated for a 3:30 p.m. tipoff.
A three-point shooting contest and a slam dunk competition will follow the women's game. During the event, the Arkansas College Men's and Women's Basketball Player of the Year Award recipients will be announced.
Prices are $20, $15, and $10 for those who buy their tickets at Summit Arena and fans may also purchase online through Ticketmaster at www.ticketmaster.com.
Clarke, one of two co-captains for his final season, was a consistent member of the Razorbacks' starting lineup, reached double figures in 18 contests, including nine of the last 12 games. He was one of two Arkansas players to lead the team in points (5), rebounds (12), assists (11) and steals (10) at least five times. The SEC Player of the Week for the week of March 3rd after scoring a career-high 23 points against Georgia and leading the Razorbacks to an overtime win at Kentucky, he led the Razorbacks in steals with 50. Clarke posted averages of 9.4 and 5.6 rebounds for the year while shooting 43 percent (25-58) from three-point range.
Entering his final game as a Razorback, Wade ranked fourth in the SEC among active steals leaders with 153 after having led the Razorbacks the previous two seasons. He set several career highs his senior season, including an 18-point outing against Ole Miss on senior night in which he hit a career-high five threes. Wade was just the 29th player in program history with 100+ steals and the first since the end of the 2006 season. His 81 career steals in SEC play are the seventh-most in program history, while he scored 797 points over 126 games.
Scott joined Wade as two of just three four-year seniors on the Razorback squad, playing in his 100th career game against Indiana State in the NIT first round. Scott was an integral part of the Razorbacks throughout his career, starting in 59 contests over his four seasons. He scored double figures 18 times throughout his career and hit 20+ points twice, as well as finishing with a positive assist/turnover ratio in each of his four seasons.
The trio helped Arkansas, under head coach Mike Anderson, produce a 22-12 overall record in 2013-14. The 22 victories were the most since 2007-08 and included the Razorbacks first trip to the postseason since 2008.
The focus of the Arkansas College All-Star game is centered on fostering active healthy lifestyles, higher education and will be utilized as catalyst to spread the love of basketball throughout Arkansas. In the spirit of the Alumni Classic's mission this game will serve as an opportunity for the fans of all Arkansas colleges to come out and salute the players from their respective Alma Maters.

|As a child, I was labeled as the kid with too much energy. Desperately, I did my best to conform to the ways of the world. Later, to realize I had to be myself.
