December 21st 2017: It was a wonderful Christmas present for us all to learn that Operation Newstart is to receive support once again from the Department of Human Services through the Engage! program.
The Engage! program aims to help young people get involved in their communities.
Through Engage!, young people aged 12 to 25 years are helped to get involved in all aspects of community life, from volunteering and mentoring programs, to projects that will increase real-life skills and connect young people to further education, training or careers.
Engage! provides local governments and community organisations with grants of up to $150,000 over three years to develop projects with young people, for young people. Through these projects, young people will become more connected to their community, become engaged in education, training and career pathways and have an opportunity to build their networks.

WITH never-ending coverage of youth crime in the media programs like Operation Newstart are incredibly important.The nine-year-old initiative, which takes teens who have had run-ins with the law, at risk of dropping out of school, or struggling in other ways, and gives them a change to start over.Young people come to Operation Newstart after being referred by schools and the program takes eight students aged 13-15 years each term.
The program includes outdoor activities such as hiking, a rap recording session, drug and alcohol education, resume writing and job skills, CFA fire training, community activities, a trip to TAFE, family planning and sexual health, and a swimming and survival course.
Lead teacher Jimmy Seeary said the program had the funding it needed to run in 2017 but said demand was approximately twice as high as what the program could accommodate and funding was insecure.
"I think the biggest thing we see in the group is the ability to believe in themselves," he said.
"They develop self-esteem, resilience, social abilities, the ability to work with others and the ability to communicate with adults.
"A lot of them are from broken homes and families that are dysfunctional; there may be drug use, criminal behaviour or parents might have passed away.
"We had a young lady who was really socially disengaged, she spent most of her time in her room, she was failing at school and self-harming. "We got her through the program; she was reluctant early in the program but then she got stronger. "We helped refer her to the Narre Warren learning centre and she's been kicking goals ever since … she's just got her L-plates and has done work experience at a vet clinic. "She's hoping to become a vet nurse."
One of the biggest challenges many young people in Casey face is run-ins with the justice system. Mr Seeary said the program used to have a used to be a full-time police contact supporting them but staff cuts had ended that three years ago.
"I think the relationship between young people and police that we were able to build when police were here; that has fallen away a lot," he said.
The program costs an estimated $200,000 per year.
Narre Warren South state Labor MP Judith Graley said she advocated on the program's behalf for 2017 funding. "We were successful and the Department for Education and Training is now working with the team to identify ways to make the program more sustainable over time," she said. "I will continue to work with and support everyone at Operation Newstart Casey to ensure they can continue their fine work within our community."
Inspector Craig Thomson said that Victoria Police Youth Resource Officers maintain a continued, more targeted involvement in Operation Newstart, delivering a presentation on crime, penalties and consequences to at-risk young people to deter them from involvement in criminal behaviour.
November 11 2016- Opertation Newstart Northern – We are halfway through the program! This week allowed us plenty of time for reflection, as well as some pretty hard physical exercise…..
We started the program off at Eltham YMCA again this week, where our trainer Jordan really gave us a great workout in a cycle class. Cycle is great as everyone can set their own pace and push their own individual limits. After this we took a bit of a break and did a mindfulness meditation exercise, before playing some team work games like blindfolded soccer. It was a fun active morning and everyone enjoyed themselves. From here we headed back over to Greensborough for our second headspace session. This week we had a more hands on session where we looked at different mindful activities before doing some mindful art. All the students participated positively and it was a nice relaxing afternoon with Liz from headspace.
Thursday and Friday of Week 4 was spent down at the beautiful Bancoora beach for surf camp! We had two really great surf sessions where everyone gave it their all and had some great successes (and some great wipeouts). The waves were a bit rougher on Thursday and it was a bit of a battle to catch good ones, however it was great practice and made it much easier to catch waves in the great conditions on Friday. While the surfing was the main highlight of the camp and a great learning experience around perseverance and commitment, we also had a lot of other positive moments together as a group. A few that really stood out to me were a really nice walk on the beach in the evening, games of pool, and everyone pitching in and helping cook meals together. We also had some really positive mid term 'interviews' with each individual student to check in on their progress on the program.
Big thanks to our surf instructors Kev & Gally, Mel for coming and joining us as a placement student, and all of our Newstart students for making it a really enjoyable camp!
Here it is- the fantastic Enhance Leadership Program 2016 Documentary entitled 'Think Global Act Local'.
The students have worked hard to develop this over the last five weeks, interviewing various organisations and putting it all together in a single piece to raise awareness for youth homelessness, sustainability and Indigenous culture. They worked together with Baz, a great local filmmaker who shared many skills and tips on putting together this type of video project.
We hope you enjoy!

Springvale Park Special Developmental School – Letter of Thanks to iLead students post community project at Blackwood Outdoor Education Special School.
"We were so grateful to have young people like yourselves working with our students and giving them the opportunity to be their best. You were outstanding role models, always happy, encouraging and chatting with our students which made them feel comfortable and accepted. As you experienced first-hand, it was a huge ask in assisting them to attempt the high ropes – way out of their comfort zone! And yes, we are so proud of them all especially (student) who demonstrated such determination to complete the whole course."
Statements from a letter of thanks written by a parent of an iLead student post this program
"At face value the time table for the course contained some outstanding opportunities that have created strong and positive memories and friendships that will serve student well for life. What he has learnt though, goes well beyond that.
Student noted how you guys skilfully used a less hands on approach sometimes, thus allowing the group to work things out for themselves, developing skills in communication, negotiation and delegation and learning to take the initiative for themselves.
He has become keenly aware that his confidence in his own ability is actually a tool he can use to help others to grow and take the initiative themselves and doing that is both productive and enjoyable.
He has already noted that when times are tough or motivation may wain he is able to draw strength from his time with you and dig a little deeper to pull through."

29th July 2016 – National Centre Against Bullying Conference – At the invitation of the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, Operation Newstart attended the NATIONAL CENTRE AGAINST BULLYING Conference at the Crown Conference Centre on July 29th. It was a wonderful experience and Summer Robinson, a Graduate of Operation Newstart Northern's Enhance Program (2015) represented her school, Diamond Valley Secondary College, on a Youth Forum discussing the views of young people about bullying, its causes, its consequences and solutions. Retired Family Court Judge, Alistair Nicholson and Walter Micak, father of Alannah and Madeline who lost their lives at Port Arthur twenty years ago, spoke eloquently about the subject, posing a series of resolutions for future action. Our conviction here at Operation Newstart is that early intervention makes all the difference; this too was the key learning that came out of this outstanding conference. Well done Brendon, Jane and the team at Northern for their intervention; the partnership they have formed with the Alannah & Madeline Foundation goes from strength to strength.
18th July 2016 – Strategic Planning – Ian Claridge facilitated a strategic planning workshop on 18th July at Operation Newstart Casey HQ. It was a great day with participation from all program managers and support staff. Thanks also to the members of the Board who came along and provided important insights. Wide ranging discussions and debate centred around the establishment of revised priorities to assist us going forward over the next few years. A follow up workshop is scheduled for August 22nd at Travancore School, when a range of strategies can be examined and implementation considered. Thanks Ian and all who contributed.

16th February 2015 – Latest Operation Newstart Facilitators Meeting Minutes ONV Minutes 16 02 15
Reflection on 2014 and snippets of what is to come in 2015
What a year! Operation Newstart programs have supported 168 young people whose need has been as great as ever. Five programs continue to offer these important services throughout Victoria.
Recent successes include:
– The Department of Human Services (Vic) will support us through its ENGAGE Program for the next three years.
– Operation Newstart Casey, Operation Newstart Northern and Operation Newstart South Eastern will each receive $30,000.00 annually to let these programs engage professionals to work with our highly trained and experienced facilitators to provide successful programs in 2015-2017.
– Youth workers with an interest in adolescent mental health and experience in working with troubled youth are being recruited over the next three months.
The partnership with DHS is vital; not just for the much needed financial support, but because it reflects a common purpose to work collaboratively on behalf of young people and their families at every opportunity.
In Geelong, the Percy Baxter Foundation has generously provided $35,000.00 per year for the next three years to provide staffing support for Operation Newstart Geelong. Special thanks to Cameron McNaughton, a "Newstart Champion" who advocates for programs like ours in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula.
We are also grateful for significantly improved support from local governments in the past year; the City of Hume will provide $10,000.00 in 2015 for Operation Newstart Northern, which has also received a grant of $5,000.00 from the City of Yarra. The Casey Cardinia Foundation has granted Operation Newstart Casey $5,000.00 to enable rent on the premises in Narre Warren. This is enormously appreciated by Jimmy and his team, as the old primary school building which houses the program and all its equipment provides an ideal base for local youth. A special thank you to Cr. Amanda Stapleton who has been a terrific supporter at Council and within the local community for many years.
In applying for Local Government Community Grants, I refer to a survey of 460 young people in the City of Yarra, who were consulted on matters that are important to them. They want to:
– have their voices heard
– be happy and healthy
– have fun
– feel good about themselves
– be respected
– get an education and feel supported at their local school
– feel safe in their communities
– have equal opportunities
– get a job
– be able to express themselves
– have strong and healthy family relationships
– live in an environmentally safe and aware community
– be listened to, supported and welcomed
While doubtless we would all want this wish-list for all our children, many thousands of young people in Victoria do not have these wants satisfied.
7th October 2014 – Victoria Government Funding Support for Operation Newstart programs
On October 7th, Minister for Youth, Ryan Smith attended a ceremony held at the HQ Operation Newstart Casey to announce that the Victorian government was granting $90,000.00 per year for 3 years (a total grant of $270,000) to assist in the future staffing of Operation Newstart programs. The event was attended by Brad Battin, Member for Gembrook and in his earlier life, a Victoria Police Facilitator to Operation Newstart South Eastern. Brad and Minister Smith encouraged the recent graduates who attended to keep looking for opportunities to improve their outlook on life, to remain in education as long as possible and to seek help within their local communities. Also attending were Amanda Stapleton, Deputy Mayor of the City of Casey and Susan Serey who is contesting a local seat in the Victorian Parliament at the coming elections.
Recent strong community support to restore the level of police involvement in Operation Newstart programs directed to Victoria Police Command
6th October 2014 – Mayor of Mornington Peninsula Shire, Councillor Antonella Celli, calls for reinstatement of Victoria Police Facilitators into all Operation Newstart Programs
– "I am writing in support of Operation Newstart and the need for a full time Victorian Police Member to be allocated to each site to facilitate the program. The Mornington Peninsula Shire community has, over the past 20 years, benefitted from a close working relationship between Victoria Police, schools, community agencies and the Shire.
Activities such as, the Program for Underage Drinking Diversion and Linkages (PUDDAL), ROPES, Operation Newstart, Mornington Peninsula Secondary College Police Youth Core Band, Southern Peninsula Swans Reclink Football, Blue Light and MP Schoolies, all of which, are facilitated by Victoria Police and partnering groups, have significantly improved the health and well being of young people within our community. They have also been widely recognised by the broader community as having positive impact and outcomes.
Integral to the success of these and other youth related initiatives has been the presence of Victoria Police Members in either facilitating or assisting in programs.
Operation Newstart commenced at Mount Erin Secondary College in 1997. The Mornington Peninsula Shire actively participated in the working group that drafted the Operation Newstart Program during 1995/96. A large number of young people from the Mornington Peninsula were engaged and transformed by the program over its years of operation. The suspension/closure of the Frankston Operation Newstart program has been a great loss for our community.
The mentoring provided by Victorian Police members to vulnerable young people engaged in Operation Newstart assisted them in becoming resilient and competent individuals. Operation Newstart also give Police and community groups an opportunity to form relationships, understand each other and built trust.
Operation Newstart is closely aligned with strategic priorities of Victoria Police, which include the importance of community partnerships and engagement with young people."
The Victoria Police Blueprint 2012 – 2015 – Year 3
P1 Take a collaborative and responsive approach to building relationships and communicating with stakeholders to better understand their priorities.
P2 Ensure that each stakeholder group:
– is regularly consulted about their expectations of Victoria Police and what they can contribute
– is regularly updated on progress and issues identified
– has two-way communication channels with Victoria Police.
P3 Ensure that Victoria Police communicates progress against key stakeholder concerns.
P4 Ensure the needs of specific communities of interest remain a focus, such as the indigenous, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI), multicultural, mental health and disability, seniors, youth and new and emerging communities portfolios.
P5 Build trust, confidence and satisfaction in the integrity and performance of Victoria Police.
P8 Build police capability to increase focus on proactive and crime prevention responsibilities.

25th June 2014: $72,000.00 donation from the Freemasons Victoria Board of Benevolence
Freemasons Victoria's Board of Benevolence recently donated $72,000 towards Operation Newstart, a program that promotes good mental health practices and helps troubled teenagers get back on the right path.
Phil Wheatley, Operation Newstart's Chief Executive said that the injection of funds would allow a youth worker to be employed for the next two terms in each of the five programs operation throughout Victoria.
"It's critical and I can't stress enough how important the partnership is between Freemasons Victoria and Operation Newstart", Mr Wheatley said.
Frank Fordyce, Chair of the Freemasons Victoria Board of Benevolence said that when he heard that the program had recently lost much needed funding, he approached the board with the request.
"The Board unanimously decided that it would make this contribution to ensure this valuable program continued", Frank said.

28th February 2014 – Geelong Advertiser Editorial – Youth Need Our Backing
Whenever decisions to stop funding or support are made, it is imperative that careful consideration is given to the consequences.It is not just a line item in a budget. It is not just a saving anaccountant can deliver on a balance sheet.It comes at a cost. Operation Newstart is a good program, it is well run and it gets results.It's time for a pause on the cost-cutting and a commitment to keeping the program going — because it works.
21st February 2014 – Program for western suburbs youth at risk
Operation Newstart has assisted more than 2000 of the state's most vulnerable young people, including almost 500 in the western suburbs. Executive officer Phil Wheatley told the Weekly Review the award-winning program was likely to disappear without urgent help from the state government and Victoria Police.
Opposition police spokesman and Williamstown MP Wade Noonan raised the matter in State Parliament, calling on Police Minister Kim Wells to meet with program leaders. "Many of the secondary school-aged young people who have benefited from this program have been described as gifted, but through a variety of circumstances they have fallen on hard times and dabbled in crime, drugs, alcohol or other antisocial behaviours," Mr Noonan said. "As such, many drop out of school and potentially consign themselves to lives lacking hope or direction. That is why Operation Newstart matters to them."
18th February 2014 – Shadow Minister for Police & Emergency Services call for help for disengaged teenagers – reported in the Bendigo Advertiser on Monday 17th February
"The reason police have done that is because they want to shift those resources to frontline policing."
"While every community appreciates and acknowledges the importance of frontline policing, I think most communities would also appreciate that where crime can be prevented through well-targeted programs that those investments are worth making."

4th February 2014 – Brad Battin M.P.raises Operation Newstart in the Victorian Parliament
Operation Newstart
Mr BATTIN (Gembrook)—Congratulations, Deputy Speaker; what a great elevation for you. I wish you all the best.
I rise today to support the Operation Newstart program in the south-east. I understand that some opposite may like to use this program to score political points, but I do this as a passionate supporter of the program and as the original facilitator of the then south-east, now Dandenong program. Victoria Police has supported this program since its inception in Frankston as a marine-style program to assist youth at risk. Over time the expansion of the program has seen more land-based physically and mentally challenging activities to give young people the tools for the challenges in life.
In the south-east we have seen the results for young people and their mental health, we have seen the issues surrounding disengagement and we have seen concern for youth with no goals. I understand Victoria Police makes these operational decisions, and I support the work its members do in the community. I request that, as this decision will affect the future of young people in a challenging world, Victoria Police consider the program on its merits.
The program has had in-depth analyses by the Royal Children's Hospital and other organisations which prove this is an effective program with tangible results. I will continue to talk about the program. I have personally seen the changes in the lives of young people, and I support the committee and local-level facilitators who strive to make the lives of young people in the growth corridor better.
When we were in the program we never forgot that the young minds we were working with were our future. They will be the people who ensure that we have a vibrant future. It is important to work with them and guide them on the path they want to take, and I assure you that not one participant wanted to follow a pattern of crime or disengagement, but many did want to get the tools and learn to be the person they wanted to be in the future.
Latest Youtube: – Operation Newstart Geelong Graduates tackling the Kokoda Track Sept 2013 – sponsored by members of the Geelong community to further develop Graduates resilience. Aired on Channel and Narrated by Channel Nine Reporter Laura Turner.
27th November 2013 – Victoria Police Deputy Commissioner Tim Cartwright wrote to Operation Newstart Victoria stating, "it is with much regret I must formally advise of our organisational imperative to withdraw the dedicated full time and part time commitment of Victoria Police members to the delivery of this program."
While we are disappointed that Victoria Police has made this decision, we thank them for the 15 years of wonderful service they have delivered to Victorian youth through their participation, and partnership, in Operation Newstart. We have their assurance that at the local level, there will be many opportunities for Victoria Police to continue assisting our programs, albeit without direct staffing.
The good news is that five Operation Newstart programs will commence the first term in 2014,
Operation Newstart Western (servicing Melbourne's western suburbs)
Operation Newstart Northern (servicing Melbourne's northern suburbs)
Operation Newstart South Eastern (servicing schools in Greater Dandenong)
Operation Newstart Casey (servicing schools in the City of Casey)
Operation Newstart Geelong (servicing schools in Greater Geelong).
Two other programs (Frankston and Bendigo) have had to be suspended for the time being, and we will all work assiduously to bring them back on-line as soon as resources become available. We understand that the need is just as great in these regions.
More than 150 young Victorians will graduate from this proven program in 2014. When you consider the ripple effect this has, hundreds of young people, their classmates, friends, family and the broader community will be beneficiaries.

Paulino, who is coming back from Tommy John surgery, walked four, hit a batter and gave up two runs on two hits in 3 2/3 innings. The positive is Paulino struck out six. He threw 82 pitches, but just 48 were for strikes.
Justin Marks, 6-12, gave up three hits in 5 1/3 innings with no walks and seven strikeouts.
The Storm Chasers scored five in the fifth. Irving Falu walked to open the inning and was balked to second. Christian Colon was hit by a pitch and Anthony Seratelli reached on a bunt single. Ben Broussard and Brian Fletcher then hit consecutive two-run doubles.
Brett Hayes, in his first game back with Omaha after a stint with the Royals, added an RBI single. The Royals sent Hayes outright to Omaha on Thursday.
Rookie-Advanced Idaho Falls
The Chukars trailed by nine in the seventh inning and nearly came back before losing 13-12 to Great Falls.
Idaho Falls, which fell behind 8-0 in the third inning, was trailing 13-4 heading to the bottom of the seventh when Zane Evans doubled and scored on a double by Mauricio Ramos.
Evans had a two-run double and Frank Schwindel's three-run homer capped a five-run eighth inning that made it 13-10.
In the ninth, Alexis Rivera walked, took second on defensive interference and scored on a two-out single by Humberto Arteaga. Elier Hernandez and Evans also singled, and that scored Arteaga to make it a one-run game. However, Cody Stubbs flied out to end the game.
Evans, a catcher, had three doubles among his four hits with three RBIs. Hernandez and Schwindel each had three hits and Arteaga added two hits.
Chukars starter Yender Caramo gave up eight runs (four earned) on nine hits with three strikeouts in 2 2/3 innings. Cody Reed allowed three runs in his one inning of work.
Class AA Northwest Arkansas
Brett Eibner had a solo homer and scored twice, but the Naturals lost 4-2 to San Antonio.
Eibner's homer, his 17th of the year, tied the game 2-2 in the third inning. Starter Brooks Pounders, who was pulled after three innings, gave up two runs on four hits with three strikeouts.
The Missions scored a run in the sixth inning against Jon Keck and one in the seventh against Spencer Patton.
The Naturals had three hits in the game and have seven in their last two games.
Class A-Advanced Wilmington
The Blue Rocks were held to nine hits and were swept 3-2 and 2-0 by Potomac in a doubleheader.
Wilmington scored all of its runs in the first inning of the opener. Jack Lopez opened the game with a single, stole second and took third on a sacrifice bunt. Yem Prades' single scored Lopez, and after an out, Sam Bates doubled home Prades.
Starter J.C. Sulbaran allowed an unearned run in the third inning. He worked four innings total, giving up three hits, issuing three walks and striking out five. Cody Fassold allowed two runs on one hit and three walks in his two innings. Cory Hall pitched a perfect seventh.
In the second game, Daniel Hernandez allowed one run on three hits in five innings of work. He struck out five and walked one. Malcom Culver gave up one run on two hits in two innings of relief.
Wilmington was held to three singles.
Rookie Burlington

Alex Kingston heads to Upstairs Downstairs
Star takes role of younger sister to the departing Dame Eileen Atkins
Doctor Who and ER star Alex Kingston is joining the cast for the second series of Upstairs Downstairs, due to be screened on BBC1 in 2012.
"I simply couldn't resist the opportunity to get inside the iconic 165 Eaton Place," said Kingston. She'll be playing Blanche Mottershead, younger sister to Dame Eileen Atkins's Lady Holland from the first series. Kingston says that writer Heidi Thomas "really has created a wonderfully intriguing character in Blanche who will over time reveal some secrets of her own."
New character Blanche will never meet her older sister, though: Dame Eileen – who co-created the original 1970s hit with Jean Marsh – announced in August that she would not be returning to the show, reportedly because she was unhappy with the direction scripts were taking for this second series.
The show is in preproduction now and begins filming in October. Alongside returning cast members Jean Marsh and Keeley Hawes, Kenneth Cranham will now also feature. Heidi Thomas says that the new run deals with the build-up to the Second World War: "Outside 165 Eaton Place, London and Europe are poised on the knife-edge of calamity."

In cancer, one particular type of body cell begins to grow and multiply abnormally, eventually forming a mass of renegade cells that doctors call a malignancy or a malignant tumor. Under a microscope, malignant cancer cells look different from their normal neighbor cells, and they act differently, too. They are aggressive and invasive; they don't respect the body's established boundaries between cells and tissues. Many of these malignant cells manufacture destructive chemicals called proteases that allow them to invade neighboring body areas. Others spread into the bloodstream and lymph vessels, and they establish secondary sites of cancer growth in organs far from the site of the primary tumor. As they grow, cancer cells may also produce abnormal hormones and other types of chemicals that affect the functions of the entire body. Some cancer cells can even modify their internal chemical reactions, allowing them to escape destruction by the body's immune system or to counter the effects of anti-cancer medications.
Cancer occurs when a cancerous tumor originates from a single abnormal cell that multiplies out of control. The original cancer cell reproduces itself through a process called mitosis to form two cancer cells. These two cancer cells divide to form four, then eight, then 16, and so on. In the end, it usually takes a mass of at least 100 million cancer cells to form a detectable malignant tumor.
Many causes of Cancer are:
The US Environmental Protection Agency has formulated a long list of chemical carcinogens. Some of these - including tar, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, phenol, nitrosamines, and vinyl chloride - are components of cigarette smoke and cause 85% of all lung cancer deaths. Other chemical carcinogens may not be as well known. For example, the ethyl alcohol in alcoholic beverages has been linked to esophageal cancer,

Volvo FH16 2012 Waberers light box template V1.0
Compatible with: ETS 2 V220.127.116.11+
This is a template that can be used to create stand alone light boxes for the Volvo FH16 2012.
Each mod file/template has room for 4 different light boxes. You don't have to create 4 variants, simply remove the .sii files that define the other variants you don't use.
I will not spend too much effort at explaining everything. If you have a specific question, ask it in the thread and i will answer it as soon as i can.
How to use.
Download the source file below, in it you will find a complete folder structure with all the files you need to make your own stand alone light box(es).
All files have been named "decal_template" followed by the variant it refers to. I would suggest changing "template" to your own identification.
The identification can only be lowercase letters (a-z), underscore (_) and numbers (0-9) and all internal names have a limitation of 12 characters in total length. "decal_template" would be too long (14 characters) so as you can see in the .sii files, i have named the internal name "decal_templa", however you can use "." (period) to split the internal name. Effects unknown on how well the game performs. I had to do this (as you can tell) for the remaining internal name. It works but i don't "like" it.
Do as you please.
All .tobj files and material files work in the same way as the truck skins do.
However you will need to hex edit the .pmd files, replacing the path to the material stored in "/material/decal/decal_template.mat". You only need to do this on ONE .pmd file, you should then copy that file (hence why there only is one in the pack) and rename it to match the other 3 .pmg files in the pack.
The material path list (yes, it's a list. It just has one path in it) is 35 characters in length including the terminating null byte for the path string. You must ensure that the path string ends with a null byte (0x00) or the game will fail to read it.
If you change the length of the path string you also have to change the size of the material paths block. You can find this size at offset 0x20 (32 decimal) and it is an unsigned integer (32 bits unsigned)
DO NOT... I REPEAT, DO NOT just use "decal_template" in your released mod or it will conflict with other equally lazy modders. Thus completely negating the point of having a stand alone mod. Then you can save yourself the time and just edit "decals.dds" in the Volvo FH16 directory

PLEASE READ: Large Update to Cyber Monday Beauty Sale Round-Up
11 comments
G, I'm so confused about the Too Faced White Chocolate Chip palette at Sephora. It's currently on the site but out of stock, which is typical in the hours before a new item goes live. But, it also says "Rouge Only." The palette sure wasn't presented that way by Too Faced. Any idea what the story is? I'm kind of obsessing...ReplyDelete
thank you! i don't know how you're keeping track of everything!ReplyDelete
Sephora deals are live now for Rouge members !ReplyDelete
Sephora has the Too Faced white chocolate chip palette, 2 new NARS blush palettes, and a new Hourglass blush palette and other new goodies live now for VIB rouge.ReplyDelete
Sorry, not just for rouge I guess. They're in the Sephora app.ReplyDelete
Forever21 30% off is not sitewide. Off sale items only.ReplyDelete
Ulta deals are live now!!!ReplyDelete
Do you know if the items at Sephora (such as the Nars and the Too faced Palette) will be available for VIBs as well at some point? Or is this just letting Rouge get a "jump start" which I understand.. but want to know if we might have a chance at some point too.ReplyDeleteReplies
They will be available in general after the early release to Rouge members.Delete
They will be available for all in about 3 more hours (2 a.m of Monday)ReplyDelete
All Cosmetics Warehouse has 50% off sale items. I just got a couple Dior nail polishes for $7.25 each.ReplyDelete

If Jim Cramer were running the Internet, he would redesign the online service world and cash in on Google's weakness right now.
"The natural buyer for every major online service vertical has left the building, and it's time for other companies to step up if they want to be relevant on the web," the "Mad Money" host said.
Just think about it—right now Google runs everything. And most individuals of importance in the restaurant, travel, entertainment and real estate business have figured out that Google is going to either create a service that competes with them, or buy the one that they use.
The good news is that Cramer sees a unique opportunity to cash in on Google's weakness.
Right now, Google is under such tough scrutiny from regulators, that the competition has a chance to make a move and get ahead of the Internet giant before it even makes a move to acquire the competition. Perhaps now is the time for Microsoft or Yahoo to make a move?

Tepper has coached three Butkus Award winners-Alfred Williams, Dana Howard, and Kevin Hardy-plus one Butkus runner-up and 20 linebackers who have gone on to play in the NFL. In his 30 years of college coaching, Tepper's defenses have consistently been top-ranked nationally.
The book describes in depth and illustrates clearly the fundamentals, pre-snap keys, and techniques used by any inside or outside linebacker in a specific defense. A special teaching section explains how to prepare quality practices and meetings to maximize learning and performance.
Complete Linebacking provides full coverage for coaching and playing the position, including:
The book also includes four key linebacker ability tests and 33 drills to measure and improve position-specific skills. More than 200 diagrams and photographs illustrate Tepper's detailed explanations.
No other book has ever addressed this subject in such depth. Complete Linebacking is an essential book for every coach's library.
Lou Tepper is one of football's most widely respected defensive coaches. He has coached 20 linebackers who have gone on to play professional football, including three Butkus Award winners-Alfred Williams, Dana Howard, and Kevin Hardy-and one Butkus Award runner-up. He directed nationally ranked defenses at the College of William and Mary, Virginia Tech, the University of Colorado, and the University of Illinois, the last of which became known as "Linebacker University" during his nine-year stay.
After serving as Illinois' defensive coordinator and as assistant head coach to John Mackovic from 1988 to 1991, Tepper was promoted to head coach. In five seasons he guided the Illini to three bowl appearances, including a 30-0 victory in the 1994 Liberty Bowl. During his tenure as head coach at Illinois, 91 percent of the team's seniors graduated. Tepper also developed a racial harmony policy for which he received a Martin Luther King Jr. Award.
Tepper graduated from Rutgers University, where he was a standout defensive back. He went on to assist Jim Root at the University of New Hampshire and the College of William and Mary from 1968 to 1977, Bill Dooley at Virginia Tech from 1978 to 1982, and Bill McCartney at the University of Colorado from 1983 to 1987.
Tepper was named the 1990 Assistant Coach of the Year in the Big Ten Conference by The Sporting News. He served as chairman of the Big Ten Head Football Coaches organization in 1996. For three years he was a member of the American Football Coaches Association Ethics Committee, headed by American Football Coaches Association executive director, Grant Teaff. A charter member and chairman of the Illinois State Board of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), Tepper is an active speaker for FCA and Promise Keepers, an organization headed by his former coaching colleague Bill McCartney.
Tepper and his wife, Karen, have two children, Matthew and Stacy Ann. His favorite leisure activities include reading, jogging, and racquetball.
"One of the most comprehensive position books I have ever read, by one of the game's best to have ever coached the position! Lou Tepper's book on linebacker play is a must for every coach's library and also would be a great supplement for their players' notebooks. Some of Lou's ideas and concepts and drills have certainly influenced our thinking about linebacker play here at the Academy."
Fisher DeBerry
Head Coach, United States Air Force Academy
"Lou's linebackers consistently play as well or better than other linebackers I've seen, and they aren't always the most talented. The answers to how and why they perform so well are in this book. You're in for a learning experience."
Dick Vermeil
Head Coach, St. Louis Rams

Although the Federal Trade Commission did not discuss privacy issues in its approval of the $3.1 billion Google-DoubleClick merger, the agency still has plenty to say to the advertising community about data collection and consumer privacy.
In hopes of setting the pace for a self-regulatory privacy regime for companies that track consumer online activities, the FTC Dec. 20 released a set of proposed principles for companies like Google, Yahoo and MSN that track consumers' online activities.
Known as behavioral advertising, the practice includes tracking and storing searches the consumer has conducted, Web pages visited and content viewed. The collected information is used to deliver advertising targeted to the individual consumer's interests.
Click here to read more about the FTC's approval of the Google-DoubleClick merger.
Further reading
The new FTC proposal states that there is nothing inherently wrong with behavioral advertising since it provides benefits such as free content and personalized advertising, but that the practice is largely invisible to consumers and raises possible privacy concerns.
The FTC said sites that collect data should provide a "clear, consumer-friendly and prominent" statement that data is being collected, and give consumers the ability to choose whether to have their information collected for such purposes.
For sites that collect sensitive personal data, the FTC recommended that they only collect sensitive data for behavioral advertising if they obtain affirmative expressed consent from the consumer to receive such advertising. In addition, the agency said, companies should obtain such consent from consumers before using data in a manner materially different from any promises the company made when it collected the data.
"The purpose of this proposal is to encourage more meaningful and enforceable self-regulation to address the privacy concerns raised with respect to behavioral advertising," the FTC principles stated. "FTC staff was mindful of the need to maintain vigorous competition in online advertising as well as the importance of accommodating the wide variety of business models that exist in this area."
The FTC is seeking additional comment and information about whether tracking data is being used for purposes other than behavioral advertising and whether such secondary uses, if they occur, merit some form of heightened protection.

The 24-year-old actress also stopped by Ralph's supermarket to pick up a few items that afternoon.
Vanessa commemorated 9/11 that day with a post on her Tumblr page remembering those who were lost in the terrorist attacks twelve years ago.
"NYC state of mind. Sending love and prayers to all the souls affected. #neverforget #911," Vanessa wrote alongside a picture of the Twin Towers.

Portland/Deering takes City Cup in overtime
The Bulldogs beat previously undefeated Cheverus/Kennebunk in a game between the top two teams in the South.
...Rosmus also tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, capping a 28-second flurry in which three goals were scored.
Despite the loss, Cheverus (7-1) is still ranked No. 1 in the South region. Portland (7-3) is ranked second.
"For the program, (this win is) off the charts," said Portland Coach Tom Clifford. "The older kids have talked about never beating Cheverus."
"Cheverus is a good team, they always have been," said Rosmus. "Being able to tie it up that late in the game and then come back and win it. That's everything."

Niall was so knowledgable and helpful in the genesis of the site, we really could not have asked for more. No job, query or change was too big or small, and he responded to all queries in a prompt professional manner.

Michael Arndt Officially Set to Write STAR WARS: EPISODE VII!
Yesterday, it was reported that Toy Story 3 screenwriter Michael Arndt had written a treatment for Star Wars: Episode VII, and would possibly write the script. Well, it's official now! Arndt will indeed write the screenplay for the long awaited film. The news was confirmed by Lucasfilm who says that Kathleen Kennedy and George Lucas have begun story conferences with the Academy Award winning writer.
Arndt has also written films such as Little Miss Sunshine, Oblivion and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I have no doubt he's going to do a great job bringing it to life. He's a talented screenwriter and a huge fan of the series. Click here to read more about his love of the franchise.
We've heard that the studio wants to bring back the three main characters of the original Star Wars trilogy; Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. There's no confirmation on that yet, and there are no deals set in place with Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher or Harrison Ford yet, but it's looking like that is all going to happen.
Now that the movie has a writer I can't wait to see who they bring in to direct the movie! Star Wars: Episode VII is headed for a 2015 release.
What are your thoughts on Arndt taking on Star Wars?!

Breakfast Beer Tasting: Crew Republic Drunken Sailor
Hello Sunday. Hello beer. Yes, the two do go well together, don't they? Like Abbott and Costello or Stephen Hawking and Jeremy Hunt. But enough of this frivolity. Down to the serious bit: sampling the goods. It's our old German compadres once again; Crew Republic and this time it's an IPA. Well what better day to worship the sacred hop than on a day of worship?
It's a 0.33L bottle and tips the scale at 6.4%. The triple base malt consists of Pilsener, Munich and the dreaded Crystal. Hopefully not too much of that; a little goes a long way. Hop wise, we have Herkules, Citra, Cascade and Simcoe. Well on paper it certainly looks the part. It poured a quite hazy amber, almost mahogany, with a two finger off-white head and good carbonation.
The aroma was of the middleweight variety. Plenty of peach and apricot with a little pine and maybe pink grapefruit? There's also a large sweet malt/biscuit punch there as well. It's medium bodied with an initial taste dominated by the sweet malt and light citrus notes. Some bitterness does come through with the second gulp as the hops do their thing, but there is a little too much sweet fruitiness that, combined with the malt, stops it drying out properly.
If you were expecting, as I was, a dry-bitter finish, then you're in for a disappointment. Despite being rated at 58 IBUs, the finish, like the initial taste, erred on the wrong side of sweet. Now ok, IBU has to be taken in context and isn't quite as straightforward as it makes out, but it generally points you in the right direction.
Tyson says: Not a bad beer by any means. However, it doesn't really live up to its promise and the whole is somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Reno Omokri, a former aide to Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Africans, especially Nigerians, to stop bearing European names but should, instead, bear and be proud of their African names.
According to him, "Neither my children nor I have any European names. We all proudly have ONLY African names (Reno is Itsekiri).
The attitude Africans ought to have is that neither they nor their children should bear Western or non African names since Europeans and non Africans don't bear African names. And don't believe the myth that they will lose opportunities due to African sounding names.
America elected a man named Barack Hussein Obama. It does not get more ethnic than that. Streatham in the UK elected a Member of Parliament called Chuka Umunna".
Reno continued to say, "also don't be fooled by theories that Westerners will never be able to pronounce African names. Is your name more complicated than Schwarzenegger or Xiaoping? If they could pronounce those names, they can pronounce yours. If they can't pronounce it, it is because they don't want to!"

BRUNSWICK – After serving eight years as the athletic director at Brunswick High, Gene Keene is stepping down to work closer to home.
Keene was named the new athletic administrator Thursday at St. Dominic in Auburn.
The campus of the small Catholic school is located about a mile from Keene's home in Auburn.
"The reason for the change, to be perfectly honest, is kind of a quality-of-life thing." Keene said. "I sat down one day and I figured out I spent 280 hours every year in my truck driving back and forth to Brunswick. That's seven 40-hour work weeks, and I've been doing that for eight years. At my point in my life, being close to home and being with my wife are important to me."
Previously, Keene, 58, served as the athletic director for one year at Maranacook in Readfield.
Keene also taught mathematics, and coached football and softball at Edward Little, his high school alma mater in Auburn.
"St. Dom's opened up and it's close to home, so I thought I'd take a peek at it," Keene said. "It seems like a setting and a culture that will allow me to continue to do a job that I still love doing with a chance to do it a little bit closer to home."
Keene will replace Lee Hixon, who served as the St. Dominic athletic administrator for 12 years.
"(We are) very fortunate to have found such a high quality replacement for Lee Hixon," said St. Dom's Principal Donald Fournier in a press release. "Mr. Keene brings years of experience to the position."
While at Brunswick, Keene was named the Kennebec Valley Athletic Conference's athletic administrator of the year and received the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association's special achievement award.
"I'm indebted to Brunswick for allowing me to have the experience to develop my skills," Keene said. "They were extremely supportive. I can't think of one negative thing to say about Brunswick in the way they've supported me."

100k target reached -- massive thanks to all our backers!
Two weeks into our Kickstarter campaign, and we've hit our 100k target. The enthusiasm that's been shown for not just Strike Suit Zero, but the space combat genre in general has been overwhelming, and we'd like to thank each and every one of you for your pledges.
We've still got two weeks left of the campaign, however, and some really great stuff still to share. There's lots of great updates still in the bag -- with one particularly interesting announcement to come next week. Keep your eyes on the page, folks!
Fun fact: the person who pushed us over the line was in fact Steven Masters, Lead Designer on Assassin's Creed 3. Of course there are 2724 of you (at time of writing) who deserve an equal amount of thanks, but it's an interesting fact nonetheless!
Here's a quick message from James and some of the Born Ready Games team, in all their awkward British glory. Also, we've posted two brand new screens from the game. Again: thank you!

The many ways to use and prepare natural beetroot. Food with benefits.
There are many ways to prepare beetroots and no extensive kitchen experience is needed to create a masterpiece that is full of vitamins and easy on the eyes with the help of the red or golden beets.
Although it is hard and dense in its raw pure form beets can be eaten raw and they are wonderfully crunchy and not hard to chew. You can grate or juice them and you have an even faster and softer meal that you can have any time during the day.
Raw beets should be consumed in moderate amounts to benefit from their amazing health food qualities.
Cooked beets are also an awesome and wholesome food with many health benefits for people of all ages.
Beets should not be cooked for a long time as longer cooking time decreases its vitamin content and does not add any improvements to their already great taste.
Quickly cooked beets are the best ingredient in many appetizers or salads for you to enjoy.
You don't need to peel your beets before cooking them, their outer skin is thin and soft when cooked and it contains good health food properties as well.
You may wish to peel and discard the beet skin if you like after cooking them, it's a matter of choice, in this case you don't even need a vegetable peeler or a knife as it's very fast and easy to do just by hands due to the softness of the cooked beetroot.
There are several ways to cook beets, every method has its beneficial qualities and all of them are simple and rather fast.
Ways to cook beets:
- Boiling
- Steaming
- Baking
- Grilling
- Frying
- Roasting
Types of meals to prepare using beets as the main ingredient:
- Grated beets
- Beet salad
- Beet soup called borscht
- Smoothies
- Sandwiches
- Juices
- Veggie burger
- Pancakes
- Cakes
- Muffins
- Pizza
- Stuffed buns
- Snacks
- Appetizers
Ways to use raw beets:
- Raw beet salad
- Raw beet snack
- Grated beets
- Juicing
- Cultured beets
To boil or steam beets you only need a minimal amount of time enough for the beets to get softer and lose their crunchiness. This can take less than 10 minutes for small or cut beets. The longer you cook your beets the more decrease you get in the vitamin content. So you may not want to overcook your beets.
The water from boiling or steaming beets does not need to be discarded, it contains good beneficial qualities that were obtained from the process of cooking the beetroot in it and you can just drink it as is or reserve it for making soup or add it to you smoothies.
Watch the videos here for more ideas and help to prepare your wonderful delicious healthy meals and dishes using pure natural fresh colorful beetroot!

The Tintic mining branch of the Denver & Rio Grande was built in 1891-92 and was located near Payson, UT. It was 43.75 miles long and has a spur coming off of it called the Goshen Valley Railroad, built in 1919. This spur was 6.52 miles long, itself having a spur which was 2.27 miles long. The mainline used to go through an old mining town called Eureka. Beyond the first spur, most of the rails were pulled up in the early 1970s. The first 10 or 15 miles of this spur, starting in Springville, is still used today on an irregular basis to service a limestone quarry. Othwerise, it hasn't seen rail traffic for at least 30 years.
According to the SPV Railroad Atlas, the abandoned portion extends from Elberta to Pearl, Hillside, Laguna, Canyon, Homansville, Summit, Eureka, Mammoth Crossing, Silver City, then crossing the UP and ending at Tintic Mills. The 6.52 mile spur from Pearl extended to Flora and Dividend, with a sub-spur from Flora to Burgin to Iron King. This spur and sub-spur make up what was known as the "Goshen Valley Branch" in later years.
These pictures are all of the Goshen Valley Railroad/Branch.
Thanks to Kirk Rogers for contributing information.
Great photos. It looks like some parts of the line are still in pretty good shape, at least as of the date of the photos.
I must make a correction on my entry. The ;ast known rail traffic on the Pearl spur was in 1986, making the last known traffic 25 years rather than over 30 years.
The remaining rail on the ROW extends West from Elberta, but is not actually abandon, simply out of service, as the railroad that owns it wants to keep it incase they ever need it. Honestly though, the rail is in such disrepair it couldn't easy be reopened.
My Grandfather John Mitchell Cowan used to haul ore from Eureka to the D&RG rr by horses and wagons. He built part of the rr to Garfield/Bingham and built part of the smelter, hauling wagon loads of clay from the Great Salt Lake to line the water reserve. His company was named Cowan-Lovelass from Payson. He has had an amazing impact on All the things he builtin 4 Western States. I am working to compile his contributions and would love to share if you are interested.

Time for a Sea Serpent Sculpture?
New archaeological evidence, published last month, suggests that there may be more to local legends about sea serpent worship than we previously thought. The original discoveries are detailed in Skelmorlie : The Story of The Parish Consisting of Skelmorlie and Wemyss Bay (Walter Smart).
In Skelmorlie is one of the most remarkable antiquities in Scotland a 'Serpent Mound', supposed to have been used by the ancient Britons in the worship of the Sun and the Serpent, and other religious rites. The head of the Serpent lies behind Brigend House and the ridge forming the body is now severed by the road running up the hill at Meigle. In the 1870's Dr. Phené of Chelsea made some interesting excavations, discovering a paved platform some 80 feet long, and evidence of early cremations. The details were fully reported in the Glasgow Herald and the Scotsman at the time and there are specimens in the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow.
Recent examination of the pieces at Kelvingrove confirms that they are indeed burned human bones, something which was always disputed about Phene's original findings. Artefacts found at the Kempock Stone during similar excavations in the 19th Century are now also due to be tested alongside items found during the controversial excavations at Langbank, recently rediscovered at the National Museum Edinburgh. It is suggested that dating of the artefacts and remains will show them to be contemporary, and that the strange serpentlike drawings uncovered on stones at Langbank are linked to the "serpent mound" at Skelmorlie, via some sort of celtic river or serpent worship cult.
Sadly at this point no one has discovered any evidence of a big monster in the river. But of course there is certainly plenty of myth and legend linked to serpents and the West of Scotland, believed by many to be largely due to our links with Ireland. Certainly we have our own "Saint banishing serpent" legend for the area, and of course the washing up of the mysterious "Gourock monster" at Cardwell Bay during the Second World War.
The discovery has prompted local calls for a sculpture of the beast to be sited somewhere on the riverside, with space adjacent to Newark Castle, or locations at Cardwell Bay or Lunderston Bay being suggested.An online petition to pledge support to the potential sculpture has been set up.
Public art is itself a strange beast, wee Annie Kempock seems very popular, debate is still raging on the Endeavour sculpture up the Port, and its largely safe to say no one is altogether fussed about Ginger the traditional Greenock Arabian Stallion carthorse. We still think we've missed a trick on a Captain Kidd statue. But I'm happy to pledge support to this one...though I think the good people of Skelmorlie might have something to say about it...but who doesn't like sea serpents? Apart from sailors obviously.

However, not all Mennonites took this position and some who supported the cause in one way or another were excommunicated, such as Christian Funk and his followers. Funk was a Reverend who preached that Mennonites should be donating to the cause because he felt independence from British rule would allow them more religious freedom. He is my 1st cousin, 7 times removed so I am not descended from him but I am descended from his uncle, Christian Moyer (or Meyer) II. Christian was one of the founders of the Salford Mennonite Meetinghouse in Harleysville, PA and served there as a Deacon. He was involved in the decision to excommunicate his nephew and it must have put great strain on the Moyer and Funk families, who had formerly been very close.

And more specifically to the date, happy anniversary to my late maternal grandparents, who were married on this day 68 years ago at Grace Lutheran Church in Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania. My grandfather was 29 years old and my grandmother was 27, although it was a first marriage for both.
I thought the photograph of them to the left was an appropriate one for their wedding anniversary.
