Top Ten Things Commonly Forgotten or Underestimated When Doing Modern Engine Swap
Modern Muscle Compiles A Helpful List Of The Most Common Problems Overlooked
The experts at Modern Muscle have compiled a helpful list of the top 10 things people commonly forget or underestimate when doing a late model engine swap. ?Over the years we have seen the same problems over and over in our shop and heard about them around the country when it comes to people doing engine swaps,? says Justin Meyers, Vice President of Modern Muscle. ?That's why we thought it was important to get this list out there to help all of those builders in the future avoid common pitfalls of taking on a modern engine swap.?
1: Wiring
Wiring is always a constant problem for people no matter what size project they are taking on, but especially in modern engine swaps. ?This is probably the biggest single issue we see. Wiring can be very complex and it requires a lot of understanding about amperage, wire gauge, relays, and overall circuits,? Meyers says. ?A perfect example is the electric fan circuit. A lot of people run two wires (power and ground), but the circuit needs to be tied into the cooling system, air conditioning system and the system needs one or two relays.?
2: Cooling Systems
Cooling systems aren't tricky, but many people just underestimate the volume of work that goes into it. ?Mechanical fans will work okay with older engines, but today's engines run hotter and require a lot more cooling. Most people just don't think about specific functionality of the modern engine they are installing and reinstall the mechanical fan or they hook up a cheap electric fan that doesn't have enough flow,? says Meyers.
3: Headers
Most people know or have a good idea that the exhaust manifolds are going to need to be modified. It isn't until the engine is sitting in the engine compartment that they realize how complex the issue can be and people can quickly get in over their heads. ?Steering linkage, spark plugs and wires can really cause some headache when fabricating a header. By the time most people have a good mental image of how the headers need to lay out, they come to the realization that the tubing is going to hit the frame or body, and have to start from scratch again, a common and costly mistake.? says Meyers.
4: Oil Pans and Pick Up Tubes
Since most chassis and cross members are in different locations, oil pan clearances are often a problem. Luckily with the wide variety of aftermarket oil pans out there, people usually don't have to build custom pans and pick up tubes. It takes a little more effort to find exactly the right fit.
5: Steering
Steering linkage can get tricky when trying to figure out how to navigate past the headers and around everything. In addition to that, many people upgrade their suspension and steering systems at the same time as the engine. With the wide variety of aftermarket components available, sometimes the combination of parts used can require an odd combination of steering linkage.
6: Air Conditioning
Late model engines usually have mounting brackets or bosses for air conditioning compressors. While this can make it convenient, the compressors are usually mounted on the lower sections of the engine. This can create problems when trying to get an engine between the frame rails. So, mounting the compressor in a different location is often necessary. In addition to the compressor, a lot of people have problems laying out the system. Trying to figure out where the accumulator/dryer or fixed orifices go.
7: Fluid Reservoirs
One commonly overlooked modification is that in general all of the reservoirs need to be changed. The cooling system isn't a big deal but the power steering reservoir can be tricky for people. Packaging gets really tight and sometimes a remote mount reservoir is needed.
8: Drive Shafts
While drive shafts don't seem like a big deal, people will sometimes run into problems either measuring the drive shaft or selecting the right yoke or flange. ?Once and a while, we run into a problem where people don't tell the drive shaft shop that they put a blower on the car and it has 800 horsepower,? continues Meyers. ?So, they will bend the driveshaft or kick it out the side of the car when they hammer it.?
9: Fuel Systems
Most people know they need larger and higher quality fuel lines and better filtration. Where they run into problems is selecting the right fuel pump. ?We usually recommend people try and use a factory style in tank pump for their daily driver,? says Meyers. ?Frame mounted high volume pumps vibrate, run hot and usually aren't designed for extended driving cycles. So, failure and cabin noise can be a problem.?
10: Torque Converters
If the rest of the driveline is staying the same (designed for an early model engine) sometimes getting a converter with the right flywheel pattern and transmission spline count can be tricky. There are aftermarket ?hybrid? converters to solve this problem.
Final Thoughts
A lot of the issues mentioned above can be solved ahead of time with extensive research and forethought for system layouts. Today, there is a wealth of information available online (in forums!), through magazines and at car shows. Odds are, you won't be the first person to do that particular swap. Finally, don't be afraid to go to an expert for help when it's needed. It will save you a lot of time, money and headaches in the long run.

Mark Richard Hall was born in 1970 and lives in Dorset with his wife Amanda and teenage son Luke. A dedicated professional artist and sculptor for nearly twenty years, Mark Hall is currently expanding his studio on the Hampshire/Dorset border, which will include an extended work studio and a gallery with sculpture garden dedicated solely to his work.
Mark Hall says of his work-
Narrative offered with sculpture makes me uncomfortable. It steals something from the viewer who, in my opinion, must trust their own interpretation of what they see. This is just as important as the work itself and is part of the process. Whether your reaction is good or bad, is unimportant. Good art should be at least trying to communicate something to you on some level. The inscription on the doors to my studio and gallery reads Art is a dangerous place, the ignorant shouldnt go there. I love wide-open eyes and inquisitive minds, I invite you to look and talk to my work!

Hanging with Mr Brown
Mar 8, 1995
Real Groove
The announcement that the Hardest Working Man In Show Business, Mr Dynamite, the Amazing Mr Please Please Please Himself, James Brown is coming to New Zealand might be hard to believe – and not just because the Ericsson Stadium show is scheduled for April Fools Day.
Last time Brown was booked to play here was for the ill-fated Neon Picnic; needless to say, no one got see JB that day.
And then there are the stories about James himself. Prior to his imprisonment in 1988 - for failing to stop for a police officer's signal and aggravated assault – his performances had grown increasingly erratic, his reputation for 'no show' become legendary. And in interviews he often seemed to be – not to put too fine a point on it – somewhere else.
This interview started out unpredictably too. Notice was short – about an hour and a half. Even the concert publicist seemed surprised to learn that it was happening. But before I knew it, I was talking to the wonderfully named Roosevelt Royce Johnson the First, listed as Vice President of James Brown's touring party.
The funky sounds of the JBs played down the telephone line from Augusta, Georgia while the extremely pleasant Mr Johnson attempted to "patch me up" to Mr Brown's phone – there's always a big build before James comes on.
Suddenly, both the music and my thoughts were interrupted by a deep, hearty "Hello!" It was star time and Hardworking Mr Dynamite was on the line. Contrary to speculation, James Brown sounded healthy, sane and in fine humour. And it seems that with his current band the Soul Generals – swhich includes a dozen dancers and nineteen musicians, including a number of legendary Brown sidemen – we'll be treated to one hell of a show. The conversation that followed went like this:
It's Nick Bollinger calling from New Zealand…
Am I speaking to Mr James Brown?
Yessah! How ya feel?
Ah, I feel good. We hear you're planning to visit us here in New Zealand…
Yessah! When we get all the paperwork straightened out we'll all come right in and give you the best show you've ever seen.
Last time you played down here would have been 1978 at the Shoreline Cabaret in Auckland. Do you have any particular memories of that?
Well, that's been such a long time ago and we've done so many shows between here and there. It's kinda hard because I'm sure it was only the one time. We're gonna bring a whole different bag. We've got a lot of pretty girls onstage singing and dancing at various times in the show and it's gonna be a lot of excitement.
Who's playing in your band at the moment?
Well, we have Charles Sherell, St Claire Pinckney, Hollie Farris, Martha High who has been with me for a number of years – one of my bittersweet background vocals – we have Arthur Dixon, Mr Ron Laster, Derek Poindexter…
What do you look for when you're choosing a musician to play with you?
I look for someone that can play the funk, and play jazz and play gospel and just generally play good music. I like real musicians. I'm not into the electronic thing. I like sweat. I like for a man to get up there and sweat and play his instrument to the best of his ability. And if he can do that then he can hang with Mr Brown [laughs]
It's been a while since we've had any new James Brown recordings down here. What have you been working on?
Well I've got a new single out called 'Respect Me (First You Gotta Respect Yourself)' and my daughter has a song out called 'Betcha Bottom Dollar' – Yamma Brown.
Did you work with her on her recording?
Yes I did. She also covered one of my songs, called 'I Got The Feeling'.
Is she singing with your band too?
No, she doesn't, but we may do some tours together. If New Zealand wants us to come down, The Godfather and his daughter will take it to the bridge! [laughs]
I've always admired you for the concern you have shown for the young. How does the future look for young people growing up in America today?
Well, if they clean their music up and not be so into the negative thing, think positive, they have a real good future. But we have to first clean up the airwaves and get some of the negative music and the four-letter words off the air. You know, you can't record a song that you don't want to play for your mother. Get some decency about it, it'll be okay.
Is that a rule you've always observed yourself?
Always, because I've got plenty of songs and I never had to curse and belittle anybody in any of my records to make a hit. You don't really have to do that.
When you were starting out, who were your teachers?
Louis Jordan was the biggest influence in my life. [Sings] "Caledonia…"
What about Little Willie John? You recorded a tribute album to him…
Little Willie John was a very dear friend of mine. I did a lot for Willie John. I tried to get Willie John out of jail just before he died – you know he died in prison, which was really bad. But you know, Little Willie John was a very soulful and good man.
You've been through a lot of hard times yourself. How do you manage to keep so positive and strong?
I just pray to God every day, and live right and try to eat healthy and generally just take good care of myself. My faith in God is undenied.
Are you prepared to talk about your experiences in prison?
Not really, no. Because that's something that happened, it's over with, and I'm not mad at anybody and that part of my life is over with. It should never have taken place but we live in a country where things don't always go the way they should and I just happened to be a victim of that.
Do you believe there is justice?
Well, there's always justice. God only knows justice. He's the final judge. Justice is wherever you find it, if you can find it. There's justice in some things and injustice in a lot of things, but we won't get into that. We just want to bring some funk down there and let the people of New Zealand have a good time and I hope the people of New Zealand live two hundred years and I live two hundred years minus one day so that I'll never know the beautiful people have passed away. Thank you, and I'll be looking forward to coming down real soon.
James Brown's Ericsson Stadium concert – like the Neon Picnic before it - was cancelled. Mr Brown finally performed again in New Zealand in 2004, just over two years before his death.

BastaDobbs.com Announces Victory: Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN

BastaDobbs.com Announces Victory: Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN
NEW YORK – Responding to the news Wednesday that Lou Dobbs will leave his post as a longtime anchor on CNN, the leaders of BastaDobbs.com – a national Latino-led coalition that had been advocating for his ouster – released the following statement:
"Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs – who has a long record of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos – does not belong on the 'Most Trusted Name in News,'" said Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org, a national online advocacy organization coordinating the BastaDobbs.com campaign in conjunction with more than 40 local and regional Latino organizations from across the country. "We are thrilled that Dobbs no longer has this legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate."
The BastaDobbs.com campaign launched in mid-September, and included online petitions, a viral YouTube video, text-message campaign, radio PSAs and a series of events in 18 cities – organized in conjunction with the CNN special Latino in America. The message to CNN was that courting Latino viewers while keeping Dobbs on the network would not win them favor with the fastest-growing demographic in the country. Since then, more than 100,000 people have joined the effort. The events and the campaign garnered significant press coverage in both Spanish-language and mainstream media.
Lovato said the BastaDobbs.com victory marks a key turning point for the Latino community, as it moved from marching in the streets in 2006 to mounting a successful, high-tech campaign against one of the biggest and strongest media voices against common-sense immigration reform.
"The community is newly empowered and energized, and we are ready to fight for a respectful and civil media discourse when it comes to immigration coverage on mainstream news," Lovato said. "This is only the beginning of a much longer-term effort."

Federal Election Commissioner Donald McGahn Criticizes 'Overreach' of Campaign Finance Regulations
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — It isn't too often that a top Federal Election Commission official fesses up to not enforcing campaign finance laws, but that's exactly what Donald McGahn, a Republican commissioner of the FEC, did Saturday.
"I'm not enforcing the law as Congress passed it," McGahn boasted regarding the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, commonly known as McCain-Feingold after its chief congressional sponsors, in a keynote speech at a symposium at the University of Virginia Law School. "I plead guilty as charged."
McGahn's admission of "guilt," however, came with a catch: He argued that it wasn't his job to enforce this law as Congress passed it.
Instead, he said, the commission's job was to enforce the law as it's been upheld by the judicial branch of government.
"In a close call, the tie goes to the speaker, not the regulator," he continued. "The court has said certain [portions of McCain-Feingold] are unconstitutional."
He cited the Supreme Court's rejection of limitations on expenditures by issue groups in Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life during 2006, of the so-called "Millionaires' Amendment" of 2008 and prohibition on corporate independent expenditures in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission in 2010.
He accused his Democratic colleagues on the commission of not taking these rulings to heart and offering regulatory "overreach" instead of solutions.
The divergent views among the commission's three Democrats and three Republicans have often meant gridlock.
Last month, as OpenSecrets Blog previously reported, several government reform groups — including the Campaign Legal Center, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Democracy 21 and the League of Women Voters — asked the U.S. House and U.S. Senate to investigate the FEC's "dysfunction."
"FEC Commissioners may not simply refuse to enforce laws based on their disagreement with the laws, or their predictions of how a court might rule if a law were challenged," the groups wrote. "It is unacceptable that the only agency charged with enforcing campaign financing rules on our nation's highest elected officials is largely AWOL."
McGahn, at the University of Virginia Law School event, also boasted that there were only two new pages of campaign finance regulations on the books now than when he joined the commission.
"The general rule is not regulation," he said. "The general rule is the First Amendment."
He argued that simpler rules and less regulation would be better for the nation's political process.
"People who may want to participate in politics shouldn't have to read 500 pages of regulations to run for office," McGahn told OpenSecrets Blog.
"It really discourages people from participating when they see a very thick rulebook," he continued. "There's got to be a better way. And it's not by passing more regulation; it's by simplifying what we have."
McGhan has been a member of the FEC since July 2008. He was the body's chairman from July 10, 2008, through December 31, 2008. His term expired in April 2009, but the U.S. Senate has yet to confirm a replacement to take his place, so he continues to serve as an acting commissioner.
Prior to joining the FEC, McGahn practiced election law at McGahn and Associates. He has previously worked as the general counsel to the National Republican Congressional Committee and as an attorney at D.C. legal powerhouse Patton Boggs. He previously served as counsel for the Illinois Republican Party for several years as well.

As You Like it: Sweet to Savoury Crepe Recipes
Make crepes just the way you want them – sweet, savoury or anything in between.
Not sure what to make for dinner? Trying to mix up the usual Saturday morning pancake routine?
Here's an idea. Try crepes. They may sound fancy, but don't let their European history get in the way of their easy-to-make status.
Got a serious sweet tooth? Or do savoury tastes call your name? Donuts orfries? Popcorn or gummy treats? Either way, you're in luck with crepes. They're versatile and work for virtually any meal. Essentially ultra-thin French pancakes, crepes can be filled with whatever your heart (or palette) desires. So if you're on the fence and like a little sweet with yoursavoury, simply customize these crepes to your liking.
Basic Crepe Batter
Makes: Around 20 crepes
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour to overnight
Cook Time: About 2 minutes per crepe
Cost: $
Difficulty: Medium
325 mL (1 1/3 cups) whole milk, room temperature
250 mL (1 cup) flour
3 eggs
45 mL (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1 mL (1/4 teaspoon) salt
- In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients and process until smooth
- Pour mixture into a large bowl, cover and chill for at least 1 hour (or let sit overnight)
- Coat or spray a small 15- to 20-centimeter non-stick skillet with olive oil or cooking spray, and then set over medium heat
- Add 30 mL (2 tablespoons) batter, swirling the pan several times to coat the entire surface
- Cook about 1 minute, flip with a spatula and cook an additional 30 seconds
- Transfer to a plate and continue process with remaining batter
Tip: Crepes can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for several days or frozen for a month. To store them, stack between sheets of wax paper and place in a zip-top bag. Thaw them at room temperature, and then assemble and bake just before serving.
Ham & Cheese Crepe with Coleslaw
Step 1: Lay your warm crepe flat on a clean work surface, and then place 3-4 slices of deli ham, 50 mL (1/4 cup) shredded white cheese and one handful of prepared coleslaw in the centre.
Step 2: Lift one side of the crepe and fold it in half to create a half-moon shape.
Tip: Toss 15 mL (1 tablespoon) of mustard with 1 handful prepared coleslaw. Adjust the heat level of your slaw by trying different mustards, like Dijon, spicy brown or coarse-grain.
Cocoa Crepe with Cherries & Chocolate Whipped Cream
Step 1: Add 45 mL (3 tablespoons) of cocoa to our basic crepe batter recipe, and then prepare as instructed.
Step 2: Lay your warm crepe flat on a clean work surface, and then place 125 mL (1/2 cup) thawed, sweetened cherries or cherry pie filling in the centre.
Step 3: Lift one side of the crepe and fold it in half. Garnish with a generous dollop of whipped cream accented with a few teaspoons of cocoa, and then serve.

EAST FELICIANA PARISH, LA (WAFB) - Some teachers who were denied bonuses in East Feliciana Parish are planning legal action against the school board, after members voted down a measure that would have awarded them the payout they were promised last year.
Former East Feliciana school teacher James O'Donnell is no longer with the school system but he said he still feels very much a part of it.
"I'll still go to the Saturday market, and I'm going to Houston next month to see the kids at the battle of the bands," O'Donnell said.
O'Donnell is one of more than a dozen teachers who left the school district, but not before having a big impact on the students. It was significant enough to be awarded up to $2,000 for translating the improvement onto paper in the form of test scores.
Master teacher Maya Bennett helped those teachers reach their goals.
"I worked diligently with data and really closely with teachers to understand the deficiencies in instruction and student learning," Bennett said.
Bennett, O'Donell and several other teachers told 9News they were promised bonuses regardless of whether they stayed employed at the school district.
"In the spring they spoke to us about how they were broken down and at that point we asked for clarification if we would get them if we left the district. They said they would," O'Donnell said.
But the new school year came with a new superintendent, Dr. Henderson Lewis, who recommended the school board implement a new policy that would not allow teachers who left the school district last year to cash in on their bonuses.
Some of the teachers said they are hiring an attorney to represent them. They said it's not a legal battle over money, rather pure principal.
"It's unfortunate because at the end of the day our interest is children and I feel like in all of this if the decisions aren't made with accuracy outside of the court system then ultimately the children will be the losers in this case," Bennett said.
Superintendent Dr. Henderson Lewis did not return calls made by 9News.

Before today, loads to an Ajilius data warehouse were single streamed. That is, one process extracted and loaded one table. You could load hundreds of thousands of rows per second, you could load different tables in parallel, but if you had one very large table there was nothing you could do to make it faster.
We've just added a feature called "Load Streams", that enables you to parallel load large tables. This is specifically designed for MPP target databases, but may also speed up SMP operations.
The Load Table screen now has an option to select a number of streams that will be loaded in parallel. This is a number between 1, and a maximum set for the target platform. On MPP platforms, this number is the number of nodes, while SMP platforms typically benefit from a number between 4 and 8.
On extract, data will be split into the number of streams you defined. Depending on the platform, the extract may be split in a round-robin fashion or by the column/s you have defined as a distribution key on selected MPP platforms.
Because there is overhead in splitting the data, and in handling concurrent writes in the DBMS, the improvement is not linear. For SMP platforms, large tables on SSD storage can be orders of magnitude faster than single threaded loads, while MPP platforms can approach the fraction represented by the number of streams.
Ajilius. We work harder to make your loads faster.

Video production is the practice of producing movie by shooting images (videography), and generating combinations and discounts of parts of the video in live production and post-production (video editing). In most cases the captured video will be recorded on the most current electronic media such as SD cards. Video tape capture is now obsolete and solid state storage is reserved for just storage. It's the equal of filmmaking, but with images recorded digitally rather than on film stock.
Practically, video creation is the service and art of producing content and delivering a completed movie product. This can include production of televIsion programs, television commercials, corporate videos, event videos, wedding videos and special-interest home videos. A video production can range in size. Examples include:
- A family making home movies with a prosumer camcorder,
- a solo camera operator with a professional video camera in a single-camera setup (aka a "one-man band"),
- a videographer with a sound person,
- a multiple-camera setup shoot in a television studio
- a production truck requiring a television crew for an electronic field production (EFP) with a production company using set construction on the backlot of a movie studio.
Shooting styles and techniques include:2);
- on a jib or crane that smoothly soars to varying heights as seen from the finale of the film Grease;
- using a Steadicam for smooth motion as the camera operator integrates moving cinematic techniques like moving through chambers, as seen in The Shining.
Video production is essentially the whole process of developing a video. Whether it's a short film, a full-length movie, business marketing video, television commercial, music video, or other type of film, the process may vary a little with the specifics, but the general process is fundamentally the same. The basic process can be separated into three subcategories.
- Pre-production
- Manufacturing
- Post-production
These three subcategories include all facets of video production, from the moment an idea pops into your mind to the moment the movie is released to the general public. In this article, we will attempt to provide you with the clear definition of video production by explaining the entire process of video production.3 Chief Stages of Video Production
1. Pre-production
This is the planning phase. There'll be no recording in this procedure, just preparation.
- An idea is shaped
- The script is written
- The cast is selected
- The audio and video crew members are chosen
Scene locations are selected, the script is revised and edited if needed, and a summary of the whole recording process is made.
There are lots of additional factors that must be reviewed as well. Proper lighting for each scene is critical.
2. Production
Once all of the crew and cast have been hired, and the script was edited and approved, the actual production process can begin. Crew and cast members all travel to each location, and each scene is shot until it is satisfactory. Then everyone will proceed to another scene. This procedure repeats until each scene in the film has been shot. Once each scene has been properly shot, it is time to proceed to another stage of post-production.
3. Post-production
Post-production covers all activities that are performed after the actual shooting of the film has been completed. This includes merging each scene, syncing audio and video, editing sound and video, and adding special effects.Professional Video Production
There are several read more businesses that provide video production as a service. This permits companies and individuals that do not have any filmmaking experience to create marketing videos or other business-related videos to enhance their company image, and showcase their products and services.
For video production to be successful, there needs to be much more behind it than only a man with a camera. The video must be targeted and distributed correctly, or the video is only going to reach a few of possible customers. A video describing a general summary of your products and/or services is great if you have a stand-out market, but if you have competition, your movie has to show the potential customer why they should choose your business over your competitor's business. For this reason, you may achieve better results by creating several short videos, each targeted at a specific demographic. The movies can then be distributed through the right platforms to achieve the maximum number of people who may be interested in your company's services.

As I've mentioned a few times already, my life's passion is the birds of the South Pacific, particularly the Loriinae, which are parrots commonly known as the lories and lorikeets. I study them professionally and I have lived with them and bred them for most of my life. So it was exciting to me when I learned that one of my favorite lory species, the endangered Rimatara lorikeet or Kuhl's lory, Vini kuhlii, experienced a conservation triumph several months ago: twenty-seven of the parrots were translocated from the island of Rimatara, in the Cook islands where a small population still exists, to the island of Atiu in French Polynesia, where they had been driven to extinction by the Maori hunters several hundred years ago. Officials hope that this homecoming will lead to establishment of a reserve population of the endangered birds.
Even though this translocation only occurred a few months ago, what is happening with these birds?

The Transient Occupancy Tax, commonly known as a "hotel" or "bed" tax, acts as an additional source of tax revenue to local government bodies, states the Santa Cruz County Treasurer. It applies to any individual who rents lodging for a period of 30 days or less.
All hotels, motels and other accommodation establishments in California are required to levy a Transient Occupancy Tax on transient occupiers of the accommodation. The rate levied varies from city to city within California. The tax coverage includes any structure or portion of a structure that is occupied by transients for dwelling, lodging or sleeping purposes, including hotels, bed and breakfast, boarding houses, apartments and dormitories.

Heroin- one of the worst poisons that people of the modern world get addicted to. People easily get addicted to heroin. The teenagers are the worst victims of this drug. There are millions of heroin addicts in our generation, may whatever their age be. Millions of teenagers, adults and older people are addicted to this poison. Heroin produces extravagant hallucination and feeling of getting high attracts the people. Addicts get excessively dependant on this drug, as if they cannot do a single work without taking some puffs. This drug affects the addicted person and also the one close to them indirectly.
Although a person can get easily addicted to heroin, it is very difficult to get rid of it. If a person wants to withdraw himself from this drug, he should try it under the supervision of trained professionals. Self treatment at home is almost impossible. The withdrawal symptoms are dreadful, so a person trying to quit from this addiction always fails and gets back to the addiction. Some of the withdrawal symptoms are low blood pressure, vomiting, restlessness, stomach cramp etc. The best way of getting suitable treatment is to get admitted in a drug rehab center. The best rehab center in America so far is the Malibu Drug Rehab Center. They volunteer the best services of all the drug rehabs.
Addicted people get too much psychologically dependant on this heroin. And that is the main difficulty of the treatment. Expert medical staffs of the Malibu Rehab help the addict to overcome this psychological dependence, through lots of programs and therapies according to the need of the patient. Sometimes, the close ones of the patient are offered to stay at the treatment center so that they can stay beside the patient while the prolonged treatment is being carried out. With the withdrawal symptoms so painful, the patient needs suitable but different environment to carry on with the treatment. The Malibu Drug Rehab Center provides calm and soothing environment. Addiction often comes from depression, so to avoid that staffs of the Malibu Rehab treat the patients with intense care and compassion. They become close to the patients like that of any family member. This friendly environment of the Malibu Rehab makes the treatment process easier and smoother.
Patients are provided with nutritious food and fitness trainer so that their health improves which they dropped off when they used to take heroin. The main plus point that Malibu addiction treatment has, is the individualized treatment program. Each and every patient is taken individual care; they are never made to feel that they are away from home or their loved ones. As heroin withdrawal is not comforting, the Malibu Rehab tries to give the patient enough comfort to recover.
The medical staffs of the Malibu Heroin Rehab have got ample experience on drug rehabilitation. They evaluate each patient's need and determine what process should work and what won't work. This way they are successful almost always. If any of your family members or friend is addicted to heroin, and searching for a good drug rehab; then Malibu Drug Rehab Center is the best option.

text: Hi there, I had been using a testors model glue (orange tube) and worked ok, and in some cases super glue, but neither worked great. I also tried an epoxy that was decent, but not worth the trouble, and one of the adhesive components hardened in the tube after just a few uses. I'd be using it for low stress bonding, in most cases. I'd appreciate any recommendations. I've been stalled with my last couple of repaints because of the glue factor. Thanks everyone. Great stuff on this board lately.

One of the dozens of detainees at LAX -- held since Donald Trump's "Muslim ban" went into effect -- is a Croatian citizen, according to the ACLU ... which is odd because Croatia is NOT one of the 7 banned countries.
Sources connected to the ACLU, who are on the ground at LAX, tell TMZ the Croatian woman flew into LAX from Paris this weekend. We're told she was forced to sign docs surrendering her tourist visitor's visa to enter the U.S. ... and she is set to be flown back to Paris.
As we reported ... immigrants at LAX who've been detained are being coerced to sign over their visas and green cards, as well as being sent back to their home countries.
At this point, it's unclear why the Croatian citizen is being detained by Customs and Border Protection. We've reached out to national headquarters ... but no one's picking up.
The woman's detention is also puzzling because a federal judge issued a temporary stay of Trump's ban ... for anyone traveling with a valid visa, and we're told this woman was.
Meanwhile ... attorneys are currently at LAX offering free legal services to detainees and their families. Protests continue outside the airport.

Trainer Tools and Resources
Well everyone use an AV and most MSE why don't you give at least correct indications how to avoid false detections?
I use olther 3 trainers of yours and MSE gives me no problem why SCL trainer has to do?
This is not their job. They are not employed by Microsoft. They do not develop MSE/Windows Defender. They don't know how that product works. They don't know what sets it off. You must open a support ticket with Microsoft as it is a defect with their product.
Well in my windows temp there is no Mnn133.tmp file. Never had problem with AV and CH trainers before, I think it would be simpler to build a trainer that doesn't affect MSE.
You might want to select in the options to show all hidden files, Windows likes to keep some files out of view.
Another quick note; when searching for a file you can merely type the file's name in the search window at the bottom of the Start menu and it will find the file, as long as it is not hidden.
better when needed.
Otherwise, CH team, you guys are doing awesome.

* Get notified when new cheats are added

If you're like me and do not catch it (you probably are), the Longhorn Network is available on Playstation Vue (which is similar to Sling). If you have a Playstation, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV (4th generation and above), or a computer, you can stream the three game series this weekend. You may also be able to stream the Longhorn Network through the WatchESPN app with the Playstation Vue login (but Im not sure about that).
Playstation Vue offers a five day trial for free. If you are in the Lafayette area, you want to pick the Elite Package (it has Longhorn Network), or pick the basic package and add on the Sports package ($10, but it comes with the 5 day free trial). Make sure you cancel the subscription before the five day trial ends, or else you will get charged.
Also, I think both DIRECTV NOW (also similar to Sling, and not actually satellite service) and CenturyLink Stream (again, similar to Sling) have Longhorn Network as well. If you dont have LongHorn Network with your cable package, those are pretty much the only options. Good news is that they all have free trials.

The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in several ways. The patient may be asked to determine illuminated letter or things of varying sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular illness, particularly in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
However, it needs to be well bore in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other issues as well. Frequently other physical conditions are primary and affect the eye as a repercussion. The look of the eye can inform the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
Subsequently, one's dependence on sight is stressed when one deals with a momentary or possible long-term loss of this essential sense. When restorative steps are looked for, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with the fact that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgeries were established to encourage reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Essentially, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete equivalent, index LASIK eye surgery is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery site web is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, allowing better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals must know. Probably, the main reason why this kind of eye surgery has ended up being well accepted is because most of its cases had achieved success.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be extremely dangerous.
Simply puts, a basic mistake could almost cause an individual's life time loss of sight. Hence, it is crucial to think about lots of aspects before choosing whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the best corrective procedure one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a best procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment may correct your vision but it does not always suggest that it can give you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the patients might have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have perfect vision also.
Given all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the popularity of the operation, LASIK might not constantly be the perfect eye surgical treatment the a knockout post method the majority of people see it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. It ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can signal the patient and the doctor to problems in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.
Two Factors Individuals Do Certainly Not Understand Regarding To LASIK Eye Surgical Operations
The eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.

Quilmes Aluminum
Argentinean's favorite beer revolutionizes once again its category, launching this new aluminum bottle, which changes its graphic when exposed to ultraviolet light. This unique and surprising characteristic has been magnified thanks to an attractive and original design, regardless the light you see it under.
Adrian Pierini, Pierini Partners' CEO and designer of this packaging which surprises consumers and collectors, said about the piece: "There are moments in the professional life when the ability to create is put to the test. This project generated the ideal situation in which imagination and resources could join and cause an interactive piece. The challenge was to transcend the graphic aspect and to generate a surprise element, a visual and tactile stimulation, a magic and fantastic piece. Undoubtedly, this bottle represents more than a launching; it is a symbol of leadership and innovation that only a brand like Quilmes could have."
The graphic proposal consisted on covering, with a delicate texture of little silver mosaics, the body of the bottle. By this means, the coldness of the material was counteracted and, on the other side, its lightness was taken to the extreme. These little mosaics alter the chromatic palette in the central part of the pack creating, with the combination on different blues, the letter "Q", synthesis of the beer logo.
Even though these visual resources have transformed a static and functional object into a beautiful piece of design, the true magnitude of the proposal is best seen in the dark.
Actually, although it seems paradoxical, the main attraction of the bottle is not noted at first sight. It is necessary to see it under ultraviolet light to discover the "spirits of fun and meetings" hidden on the surface of the bottle.
Pierini mentioned about the creative process: "The complexity was to create a bi-functional design. Both designs, the one seen at a normal light, and the one appreciated with the ultraviolet light, have to have certain synergy. The ink used for the light reaction imposed certain conditionings, being the most important that no other ink can touch it. This limitation was overcome successfully thanks to the "kaleidoscope" design which has internal lines. With these, we created the silhouettes".
Imagination, technology and innovation. Those three words could synthesize the ingredients needed to achieve such a magnificent result as the obtained. Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes demonstrated once again, with these launching, that their desire to evolve is really strong. That is why consumers enjoy this beer, which is not only of high quality, but a synonym of trend as well.

Product Tips – Exit pages
As the Product Manager for Clicktools, I believe that one of our most underrated features is the ability to add an exit page at the end of your survey. It's nice to be able to add a Thank You (or Exit) page, not only because it's considerate, but it also lets respondents know that they have properly completed the survey.
Here's how to add one to your next survey or form:
Within the Builder tab on the Survey Settings page, accessible when creating an instance, enter a URL to be used as an Exit Page, which will appear when someone completes your survey/questionnaire.
This URL could be one of the following types:
• An exit page of your own design
• An existing page on your website
• Any page that is accessible as a public URL
You can create a single landing page with Clicktools to be used as your exit page. This page can also include your specific branding if you wish, depending on the template you choose and could be re-used again and again with different surveys. Once you've created this page in Clicktools, all you have to do is enter the specific URL as your exit page.
Don't forget that when you define your exit page, it is a good idea to test the link to make sure it works, so that your respondents don't receive an error message when completing your survey.
Can't remember how to find a URL for a Clicktools page? It can be found within the Deployer tab on the Distribute page. Just copy the URL and paste it where you need to.
So, there you have it. That's how to add an exit page to your survey or form. I'd love to hear from you as to what you believe is the most underrated feature for Clicktools. Feel free to comment!

|Artist: Minerva Teickert
Every time I turn on my computer, this beautiful painting of Mary, Martha and Jesus appears on the screen. This image serves as a daily reminder of who I want to be and the choices I want to make.
I love how Martha is busy working while turned towards the Savior and how Mary is focused on Christ but still nearby to help her sister. In a world full of responsibilities and options, I appreciate what their story teaches us about balance in our lives.
Mary and Martha lived in Bethany, a small village about two miles from Jerusalem. They and their brother Lazarus were good friends of Jesus and often received Him in their home. On one occasion, Jesus arrived and Martha immediately busied herself with preparations for her guest. The scriptures tell us that Martha "was cumbered about much serving." Mary on the other hand sat at the Savior's feet, earnestly listening to His teachings. No doubt, Martha would have liked to have sat too but chose to express her love for the Savior by serving Him instead.
I imagine Martha trying to do everything herself. Setting the table, chopping the herbs, stirring the stew, how could she get it all done and was it fair? She wanted everything to be perfect for Jesus but instead of achieving her goal she made everyone uncomfortable by lashing out in frustration "Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me."
This must have been an awkward moment for Mary who may have helped in the beginning but was now captivated by Jesus. Tenderly, the Master replied, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."
I don't believe that the Lord was unsympathetic to Martha's cause or dismissed the value of her service. I just think He was trying to get her to focus on what mattered most, the "good part". He was there to tell them the "Good News" and she was missing it, His words, His teachings, His spirit, because of the STUFF that she had to do!
Like Mary, I want to sit and learn at the Savior's feet, while like Martha, I need to figure out what's for dinner. I don't have lots of time. Like these two wonderful sisters, I have to choose between the spiritual and the temporal. To discern God's will in my life so that I can follow the Savior into the next.
In a world filled with distractions, the story of Mary and Martha can help us set our lives in order. Martha was anxious with preparing the meal. Martha was not a bad person. She was not involved in wicked or sinful activities. She was a good woman, and her only desire was to serve and please the Lord. But she got her priorities out of whack. Mary on the other hand had chosen the spiritual. She had made the better choice. She had chosen to listen to the words of Jesus – the spiritual bread which leads to eternal life which could never be taken away from her.
I believe that the Lord wants us to be anxiously engaged in good causes and is happy when we are industrious but at the same time we cannot let these activities become more important than our spiritual growth. We cannot let the temporal things of this world rob us of the eternal blessings that await us.
When I was a child, I watched the "Jetsons" cartoon show. I dreamed of a world of technology and robots like "Rosey" who would do all of my work for me. However, now that I have a personal computer, cell phone, fax machine, and a fast moving vehicle, my life is busier than ever. In fact busyness threatens to take over my life. I know that if I am to be more like Mary, I must spend time with the Lord each day in prayer, scripture study and obey His command, "Be still, and know that I am God". (Psalm 46:10)
Somewhere between Mary and Martha I am striving to find me, a productive person, serving others, but most of all, obeying the Lord's will. I have a testimony that if we take the time to sit at the Savior's feet each day, we will find peace and direction. The word of God and the power of His spirit will teach us how to balance our chaotic lives and be truly happy. Most importantly, we will choose the Good Part, which shall never be taken away.

Gaza: Head of Islamic Hamas movement Ismail Haneya has called on relevant parties to set up a "comprehensive confrontation strategy" to foil the US and Israeli moves on Jerusalem.
"This strategy needs us to move on two tracks. One is to declare the death of the so-called peace process and the other is to end all types of normalisation with the Zionist enemy," said the Hamas leader.
Based on the ongoing Palestinian Intifada against Israel, the strategy should prepare an unified Palestinian, Arab and Islamic program to confront the Jerusalem decisions, said Haneya on Tuesday in an emailed statement.
He also called on other countries which support Palestinians and oppose US policies in the region to join them in the unified strategy, Xinhua news agency reported.
He said neither US President Donald Trump nor Israel's ruling Likud party "would be able to change the identity or the features of Jerusalem, which has always a Palestinian, Arab and Islamic face and identity".
In a vote overnight between Monday and Tuesday, Israel's Parliament passed an amendment that will make it more difficult for the government to cede parts of East Jerusalem in any future peace deal with the Palestinians.
The new legislation was also likely to heighten even further the tensions sparked by Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on December 6.
Trump's statement had triggered widespread protests in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. At least 13 Palestinians were killed during clashes with Israeli security forces, according to the Palestinian media.
The decision was also overwhelmingly condemned at the UN, where 128 countries voted against Trump's fulfilment of a campaign promise.
Trump on Tuesday tweeted that the US may stop aid payments to Palestinians who are "no long willing to talk peace", the BBC reported.

With more than 3,700 survey respondents, this year's industry survey from search marketing analytics provider Moz discovered the No. 1 SEO tool used by internet marketing professionals is Google Webmaster Tools.
The majority of the survey focused on marketing issues, but Moz did ask participants a few SEO-related questions, including which SEO tools they currently use and how they are "coping" with not provided.
According to the survey results, 68.8 percent of survey participants plan to focus on conversion rates and performance metrics in response to Google's elimination of keyword data. Other strategies included landing page traffic, Webmaster tools data and other data, along with social signals.
Google Webmaster Tools led the list for top SEO tools, with Moz's own tool ranking No. 2. Moz noted, "As much as we love our own tools, we have to assume that our audience is a bit biased."
The survey data showed Searching Frog, ranking at No. 5, experienced a considerable jump in usage, going from 28 percent total usage in 2012 to nearly 49 percent total usage this year.
The survey polled internet marketing executives on a range of topics from age, gender and location to their specific roles and salaries.
More than 70 percent of participants were male and 49 percent were from the US. At 47.7 percent, most survey respondents were age 26 to 34.
Overall, 19 percent of survey respondents earned $30,000 to $45,000, with 13.5 percent of participants earning over $100,000.
Moz broke down average salaries by position and experience as well, revealing the median SEO salary totaled $60,215.

Laughing Gas by P.G. Wodehouse
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
When his cousin Egremont gets betrothed in Hollywood, Reggie Havershot has no choice but to go find him. Reggie finds Eggy but falls in love in the process with April June. After a strange incident in a dentist's office, Reggie swaps bodies with child star Joey Cooley. Will Reggie be able to set things right before Joey wrecks his life by punching everyone he dislikes in the snoot?
This is the first Wodehouse I've read in a couple years, recommended by none other than Gail Carriger at the 2016 Goodreads Summit.
It starts out with the old Wodehouse formula, a gentleman of leisure infatuated with a beautiful woman. Then the body swap happens and things go pear-shaped in a big way. Is Laughing Gas the spiritual ancestor of later body-swapping comedies like Freaky Friday, Vice Versa, and that episode of Red Dwarf where Lister and Rimmer switch bodies? Yes, yes it probably is.
Laughing Gas has more outlandish situations than most Wodehouse novels and is also a satire of Hollywood culture, something that hasn't changed in the eighty years since this book was written. I lost count of the hilarious lines Wodehouse wove into this ridiculous tapestry.
Despite its deviation from the tried and true Wodehouse formula, the trademark wordplay, twists of fate, impostors, and misunderstandings are in full swing. The additional complication of Cooley in Havershot's body rampaging around Hollywood, smiting his enemies, while Havershot endures the hell that Cooley has created back home provides additional laughs.
As with all Wodehouses, there are some reversals of fortune and everything ultimately turns out okay. While I liked Laughing Gas for its novelty and the usual Wodehousian wordplay, it wasn't up to the standards of The Code of the Woosters, Leave It to Psmith, or Cocktail Time. Three out of five stars.

Another late post, very, very late, for the Christmas cards that I actually finished on time last November Well, it will be, at least, early for your Christmas card project for 2015 :-). Honestly, I did not even realize that I have not posted this card yet. I couldn't decide on the color theme for this card and I ended up on an all-white theme which I think is a great theme for Christmas. I'm still enjoying my new love for manual die cutting and this card showcases a nice combination of beautiful Christmas dies by Spellbinders and Memory Box. My Christmas list keeps on increasing every year and I made 50 cards for 2014.
The names of the dies used are identified in the caption of the photos. As it is another card made with manual die cutting, there are no files to share on this card except for the Merry Christmas sentiment which was created specifically for the Spellbinders tag used. I used a lot of 3D foam tape on this card.
Well some of you might be inspired with the card design and may even want to start your Christmas cards early this year.
Happy crafting!

The U.S. Department of Labor has released its annual memorandum with the rate increase for Service Contract Act (SCA) Health and Welfare (H&W) Fringe Benefits. The new rate of $4.41 per hour (up from the 2015-2016 rate of $4.27 per hour) is required in all government contract bids or other service contracts awarded on or after August 1, 2017.
A special rate of $1.91 per hour is set for Hawaii, which takes into account that state's mandatory health insurance coverage. However, an employer may use this lower rate only if it actually makes contributions for employees under the Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act.
Rates under Executive Order
DOL officials indicated earlier this year that the rates set for 2017 would account for contracts subject to Executive Order 13706, which applies to new contracts that result from solicitations issued on or after January 1, 2017, or that are awarded outside the solicitation process on or after that date. The EO requires covered contractors to provide employees up to 56 hours of paid leave sick leave annually. (For details of the EO, see our article, Labor Department Issues Final Rule Implementing Executive Order on Government Contractor Paid Sick Leave.) Under the Executive Order, the cost of this sick leave cannot be credited toward meeting the SCA H&W requirement. Therefore, DOL has now set a new H&W rate of $4.13 ($1.63 in Hawaii) for contracts covered by EO 13706. This is welcome news to employers with contracts covered by the SCA and the paid sick leave requirement.
Solicitations/Contracts Affected
- All invitations for bids opened or other service contracts awarded on or after August 1, 2017, must include the new H&W rates with an updated Wage Determination (WD).
- For contracts beginning on or after August 1, 2017, contracting agencies are directed to make pen-and-ink changes to the current WD received for the contract for which the updated fringe benefit rate was not included.
- For all other contracts (except those awarded or starting after August 1, 2017), revised WDs reflecting the new fringe benefit rate will be available at the Wage Determination OnLine website on or soon after August 1, 2017. However, the new rate does not go into effect automatically for existing contracts; rather, it goes into effect only when a contracting agency modifies an SCA covered contract with an updated WD. Generally, the new rate will go into effect on the anniversary date (annually, or every two years for non-appropriated funds contracts) or option renewal/modification date of these contracts — whichever date for a particular contract triggers incorporation of a new WD by the contracting agency.
The obligation to pay employees prevailing wages and benefits in compliance with the SCA requirements falls to contractors and subcontractors, who are jointly and severally liable for any violations. However, it is the contracting agency's legal obligation to provide correct and updated WDs to the prime contractor, and the prime contractor's responsibility to flow-down updated WDs to their subcontractors.
Next Steps
Government contractors should check routinely to determine if new WDs have been provided to them by contracting agencies (or, in the case of subcontractors, by their prime contractor) by incorporation into their contracts. If the agency has not provided an updated WD as required, contractors should request that the agency do so and be sure to document their compliance efforts.

The use of collar badges and brass titles had been part of the uniform when service dress was being worn. The adoption of battledress in 1939 saw this use diminish, culminating in GO 137 ( 25 Oct 1941) which officially withdrew the use of collar badges and brass titles for other ranks for the duration of the war.Officers would still continue to wear collars and brass titles with service dress only.
Members of the 1st Canadian Division began to wear slip on titles, upon their arrival in England in late 1939 /early 1940. These titles were meant to fit over the epaulettes of the battledress. They could be easily removed for reasons of security. Soon after they began to be worn by units still in Canada. There use was primarily during the period 1940-1942 when shoulder flashes began to be issued although the use of slip on titles could be found as late as 1945 by units still in Canada.
Two basic designs exist with Canadian manufactured titles being larger at inches in depth and secured to the epaulette by 2 small straps. British manufactured slip on titles were 1 1/2 inches in depth and secured by a single strap.
Click on the images to see a larger picture.
The above title is very different from the regular British manufactured titles. The material is very coarse, similar to battledress material. One explanation might be extra titles locally made for troops stationned overseas early in the war. Please contact the webmaster if you have any further information on this title.

Do You Need Mental Training?
by Thomas Kurz
This article is an excerpt from Mental Training Makes Winners.
There is a simple way to tell if the mental training offered by sports psychology can improve your performance. If you answer yes to either or both of the questions below, it can.
— Do you do well in practice but not so well in competition?
— Do you get tense, lose concentration, and play or spar below your skill when you practice with some opponents or training partners?
Those two signs indicate that you do have the skill when in your emotional comfort zone, but as soon as stress increases, you leave your comfort zone and you "lose it." You need to master your response to that increased stress—you need mental training.
Many elite athletes use either the services of a sports psychologist or mental training programs developed by sports psychologists. You too can use such program—Gold Medal Mental Workout, developed by Dariusz Nowicki, a world-renowned sports psychologist.
This article is based on Stadion book Gold Medal Mental Workout for Combat Sports: A Step-by-Step Program of Mental Exercises to Make You a Winner Every Time. Get it now and have all of the info—not just the crumbs!
If you have any questions on training you can post them at Stadion's Sports and Training Discussion Forum.
