Newport Beach is considering legal action against Orange County for allegedly hijacking developer and Newport Coast residents' fees that helped build a sheriff's substation and library in Aliso Viejo.
On Tuesday, the City Council is expected to authorize hiring attorneys to examine how two Newport Coast assessment districts that raised $183 million in bonds for streets, a fire station, lighting and other services were managed, said Dave Kiff, deputy city manager.
"The fundamental problem is that when the county first looked at this area, somebody said that it was OK to use these people's money
The decisions were made in the 1980s and 1990s by the assessment districts, which are administered by county supervisors and staffed by the county's Planning and Development Services Department, Kiff added.

There is no all-inclusive guide to vehicular repair. Rather, you must slowly learn the basics so you can take care of your car. It can be nerve wracking to even think about car repairs. Keep reading to discover some great tips that will help you learn a little about auto repairs.
One of the most important qualifications to look for in a mechanic is the ASE certification. This means the technician has completed a test and has more than two years of experience. This lets you know you have the best of the best repairing your automobile.
Find an ASE certified mechanic if you need some repairs. This shows that a mechanic has passed a special test for competence and also shows he or she has at least two years experience as a mechanic. This also means that you have an experience, knowledgeable repair person working on your car.
When you arrive at a repair shop, don't be afraid to ask questions. Your questions should focus on issues that your vehicle has, as well as what you can do in the future to prevent them from occurring again. Preventing issues can save you a lot of money.
When you arrive at a repair shop, don't be afraid to ask questions. Find out what caused the issues, and ask what you can do so this does not happen again. An ounce of prevention can save you a lot of money over time.
You need to know about all costs before handing your keys over. If you need clarification, ask the service advisor for additional information before repairs commence. Don't end up surprised by extra fees.
Wash your car regularly to prevent rust from becoming a problem. All cars will rust up eventually, but you may delay it considerably by ensuring all chemicals and salts are washed off quickly. Wax your car to keep paint in good condition, too.
You need to see if the mechanic has ever done work on the exact same type of car before. If the answer is yes, that's a very good thing.
Referrals are one of the best ways to find a reputable auto mechanic. Ask co-workers, friends and family for recommendations. Ask about how much they paid, the quality of the repairs and the customer service. People will let you know how their experience went.
Keep your car clean to prevent rust. Eventually cars rust, but it can be delayed by washing off chemicals and salt as soon as you can. Wax the paint job to protect it.
Be wary of auto technicians who perform unneeded repairs on your vehicle. A mechanic that is good will notify you of parts that show signs of deterioration and will soon need replacement, but they shouldn't replace it without having your approval. Never give your repeat business to a auto technician who preforms unnecessary repairs.
Remember that getting OEM parts is important. These parts are directly from the manufacturer of your vehicle. While generics are much cheaper, they are not held to the same quality standards. What saves you a bit of money in the short term, may end up costing you dearly in the long term.
Watch out for blatant signs that your mechanic is not to be trusted. Someone who gives vague answers to direct questions, or ignores them altogether, may not have the necessary knowledge to give you quality service. It is important that you trust the person that is repairing your vehicle, and if you don't, then go somewhere else.
Keep a tool kit for doing auto repairs in your trunk. You're going to need to have some tire changing tools in this kit at the very least. Buy a jack if your car does not already have one equipped. You should also include a screwdriver set, a ratchet set, an adjustable wrench and a torque wrench. Avoid cheap tools. Solid and sturdy tools are ideal so you don't have to worry about them malfunctioning.
Attempt to self-diagnose ahead of going to a garage. Identifying the problem yourself can save you some money, and it can prevent you from being taken by a dishonest mechanic. As you have probably heard, there are mechanics out there that will be dishonest so they can charge you more money.
Major repairs should always be accompanied by more than just one estimate. Most shops are honest, but some are not. Try and locate a shop that specializes in servicing your particular type of car. These shops can better understand the needed repairs for your vehicle.
Be sure that you know whether or not you have a mechanic that can help you with your vehicle. There can be a lot of differences between vehicles, even though the base components are similar. If you don't think he has, go to the dealer.
See if any of your friends or family members have had a positive experience at a particular auto shop. Your family and friends may have a few recommendations for you that will make your search much easier. That said, check up on who they refer as well. Check online to see if there is other information or reviews about the shop in question.
When you take your car in for repair, verify their hourly rate and total cost of repair before you hand over your keys. Some fees may not be readily apparent, so make sure you know exactly what they are. You will need to know what to expect on the final bill. Some stores are able to give you an estimate for how long they'll keep your car. Some "minor" repairs can take all day according the the estimates of the manufacturer.
Before giving your car to a shop, ask them about their fees. Make sure you're asking questions if you're not sure about the shop's rates. You must know what you're being billed. They may be from a manual written by the car's manufacturer. Some repairs that are deemed "minor" may be all day jobs according to the manufacturer.
Monitor your dashboard lights regularly. They're there for a reason. When you ignore them, you'll pay for it.
Even minor problems should be checked by a mechanic. A small problem can become a big one if it is left unchecked.
You do not always have to have your dealer repair your car. There are great techs everywhere whether there's a great shop 10 minutes from your house or whether you decide to go to the dealer further away. If you're comfortable with a tech, use him or her.
Always bleed the brakes after working on them or preceding a test drive. After the bleeding process, make sure the brake fluid is pumped. Check for leaks to make sure the fluid doesn't run out. At that point, you should feel comfortable taking the car out on a road with less traffic. Start slow to see if your repairs are good, then you can accelerate.
Self diagnosing complex problems with your vehicle is probably something you shouldn't attempt. Keep in mind that you're not a professional. What seems like something small may actually be quite complicated, particularly in modern cars. Allow the diagnosis to be made by a professional, when possible. Tell them every detail and let them do the rest.
Original Equipment Manufacturer is the meaning of OEM. Ask for OEM parts if you need some new parts for your vehicle. If you specify that you want original equipment manufacturer parts, the mechanic will think you know what you're talking about. An unscrupulous mechanic may think better of trying to pass used parts off onto you.
Figure out the maximum you're willing to spend when someone is going to work on your car. Don't let the mechanic make whatever repairs they want after your drop off your car. Set a dollar amount that cannot be surpassed without an authorization from you.
AAA is a good company to look into when you need auto repair. The AAA is great if you need some help such as getting a tow truck to your location or to deal with repairs. In many cases, you'll even find that AAA membership reduces your overall auto repair expenses thanks to member discounts.
If you have a positive experience with an auto repair business, return to them each time you need another repair job on your vehicle. Being a repeat customer and using a good mechanic will help ensure that you get quality work. Loyal customers may also get discounts.
For things that aren't too difficult to repair, like putting fluids in your car, you should be afraid to take care of these things. It is a common misnomer that you need a mechanic's services to attend to these items for you. Learn how to do the job before beginning, but understand that it may be dirty.
You can reduce the repairs you'll need from having a car in storage by filling its tank and putting it on jack stands. Place your car in a dry area during storage, to avoid rust. Also, leave the parking brake off.
A dealer's mechanic is an expensive option, but it is sometimes necessary to go through your dealership. Service technicians at dealerships tend to specialize in your make and model. They have the right tools to quickly diagnose your problem, and know how to troubleshoot the more common ones. They also stay up to date with training.
Windshield Washer Compartment
Keep a plastic accordion file in your car and put all your auto repair receipts in it. Sort your receipts by type or date. This ensures you have the information for your mechanic, insurance or a buyer, if necessary. This information should be very valuable to you.
Do not use water for the windshield washer compartment. Water might be enough to clean your windshield but the system is designed for special fluid and using water instead of could damage the system. Check the windshield washer compartment regularly and refill it as needed. Keep a bottle in your car. The trunk is good place to keep a bottle.
Place a limit on how much work can be done to your vehicle without your permission. You should never tell your mechanic to go ahead and fix everything that needs some attention. Set a dollar amount which cannot be exceeded if they don't call you first.
When shopping for a auto repair service, it is important that the technician is familiar with your car. It is in your best interest to hire someone who has worked extensively with your specific make and model. You shouldn't trust your vehicle with a mechanic who doesn't have the experience required to work on your model vehicle.
Always ask plenty of questions when dealing with a mechanic. Don't just concern yourself with the price; rather, ask about everything that has to do with the repairs. How long should it take to finish? What work is to be completed? What are you going to be paying for parts? Do not hesitate to ask any questions your have. The more you find out, the more confident you will be when future repairs are needed–especially if this becomes a recurring issue.
You can delay some repairs to your vehicle for a short period of time, but some issues need immediate attention. These include the brakes, the steering wheel, the tires and anything electrical. If one of these parts breaks down, you could be putting yourself at extreme risk; therefore, fix these particular parts immediately, regardless of the severity of the problem.
Don't hesitate to ask any and all questions that you have when you're getting your vehicle repaired. That will help you understand what is being done and a good mechanic is happy to let you know what they will be doing. Reputable mechanics will have no problem discussing those things with you.
Now you have more of a chance to have a great experience when you're getting a vehicle repaired. Having a car that needs repair is never going to be fun, but with the tools you have been given here, you can still have great results. Use everything that this article has taught you and you'll be more in control of getting auto repairs.
You can ignore minor car repairs, but if something is wrong with one of the major systems, you need to get it repaired right away. If any of these these systems were to break down while driving, you would be facing an emergency.

2002-2012: Remembering the Social Movements that Reimagined Argentina
Published on ZSpace (first on Upside Down World.org), by Francesca Fiorentini, January 17, 2012.
If 2011 was any indicator, 2012 will be a year of further popular resistance to government austerity and a finance sector spun out of control. Whether it's the occupy movements in the U.S. that have spread to the U.K., the indignados of Spain, or the general strikes in Greece and Italy, the people of the world when faced with economic crisis and tired fixit schemes are saying in near unison: Now it's our turn.
Though refreshingly new, these movements have a South American predecessor: Argentina 2001, when popular protest put an end to destructive neoliberal policies and forever changed the political terrain of the country.
Ten years later, with the country's unparalleled economic growth since 2003 … //
… Tools for the future:
With little doubt these movements have left their mark on Argentina. Though they may not have achieved all they had hoped, they pushed the boundaries of political imagination and showed the creative capacity of ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
Still for many, specifically those on the independent left like Fabián Pierucci and Eva Sinchecay, the movements missed a historic opportunity for structural change. Despite Argentina's economic growth, they say the economic model is still based on instable and short-term factors like the international price of soy and exploitation of natural resources.
"With a globalized economy, you can have all the reserves you want and have the foreign debt under control, but does that mean you are financially autonomous?" asks Pierucci. "How long will the model last? One year, two years, five years?"
Sinchecay, who still helps cartoneros in her community collect cardboard, says the social programs have been insufficient in combating poverty. "We have seen three generations of people without work," she laments.
Pierucci believes Argentina has not seen the last of economic crises, and that despite the relative calm, another collapse could be on the way. "We can't lose perspective that crisis is cyclical in the economy, and that each time it will be deeper," he says.
With the economies of Europe and the U.S. in turmoil thanks to some of the same runaway financial practices that so hurt Argentina, it's no wonder that people around the world have looked to the country's vibrant social movements for inspiration. Though weakened, these movements have imprinted the culture and consciousness of the Argentine people with an irreplaceable spirit of solidarity and possibility. That same spirit may be the foundation upon which future movements will build and, perhaps, move beyond. (full text).

The Importance of Being Faithful ... to God
Post date: Nov 17, 2017 3:51:54 PM
19 November 2017 ( 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time )
[Proverbs 31:10–13, 19–20, 30–31] [1 Thessalonians 5:1-6] [Matthew 25:14–30]
In today's readings, we see the importance of being faithful to God and his expectation of us - in our roles, commitments, responsibilities and duties. Being faithful have serious implications when we remember that at the end of our time, we will have to render an account of our lives to a Holy God. In Proverbs, the Capable Wife is notably praised for honouring God, over her capability, works, beauty and charm. Her disposition towards God made her trustworthy. In the 2 nd reading, we're reminded to be faithful and vigilant always, for the coming of the Lord will happen unexpectedly. In today's gospel, the servants each received different amounts of monies. The first two servants were faithful & responsible. They promptly traded and multiplied the monies originally given to them. Both were rewarded by their Master, for being faithful rather than being successful. However, the 3 rd servant hid the money and gave some excuses for not doing anything with it. He was denounced as being wicked and lazy. His unfaithful service led to his condemnation, removal of stewardship and an eternity of misery, away from God's presence.

In the exhibit "Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections", now at the Getty, there is a relief showing Alexander the Great borne up to heaven by a pair of griffins. I took this to be an apotheosis when I saw the exhibit at the National Gallery of Art, but find that I am wrong.
The anthology I picked up last week has excerpts from Eckhart of Aura's universal history, both of them concerning Alexander the Great. According to the second, the flight with griffins was a matter of aerial exploration. So far from his being received on Olympus, they and he eventually returned to earth ten days walk from his army, to which he returned safely. But I still wish that I had a postcard of the relief.

MAC Please Me Lipstick - £14
Another favourite in my MAC collection, Please Me is a rosy pink shade that's actually matte. I didn't quite realise this when I bought it but it's still flattering and is very pigmented. It's fab for everyday wear, but it does dry my lips out. I have to make sure my lips are really moisturised before applying, but I could also apply clear lipgloss if I wanted a glossy finish.
Even though it does dry your lips, the colour lasts a good few hours (around 4-5 hours) before reapplication (although occasionally it makes my lips look chapped as it settles on the lines, so I do reapply it), and is smooth to apply.
I don't use this lipstick as much as I would like to, as it depends on how dry my lips are that day. Saying that, I hope this lipstick lasts a long time, as I don't plan to repurchase it (unless my lips become constantly hydrated, which is doubtful)! I do love the matte shade though, so I do recommend if you don't suffer from dry lips like me.

The Magic Behind the Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon
The mystery of the Cartier watches is inspired by the desire to bring duality and illusion into the field of watchmaking. When looking at the Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon, you cannot help but wonder what is the trick that makes the hands move. Where are the time and mechanism concealed? The watchmakers have hidden them beyond their creative mastery and their incredible technical skills.Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon Pictures
The miracle of Cartier watchmaking began in 1912 with the creation of the first mystery timepiece. Two collections followed, transforming time into fantasy and watches into jewelery. It was a challenge to create such technical complexity, but nothing was impossible for Cartier, the subtle magician and creator of an enigmatic time.
The Magical Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon is a watch with a tourbillon that seems suspended in space. Its new movement, the 9454 MC Double Mystery Tourbillon was a challenge for the watchmaker. The tourbillon turns on the axis every 60 seconds and appears to be floating without any connection to the rest of the watch. The cage then starts to perform a second rotation every five minutes at a rate of one turn, thus completing the illusion.Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon Pictures
The unbelievable complex, yet elegant Cartier Montre Rotonde Double Mystery Tourbillon gets its name from the completely unique mechanical construction Double Mystery. Cartier watchmakers showed great ingenuity for the movement and matter in order to create this incredible kinetic sequence. The design was inspired by Jean-Eugène Robert-Houdin's tricks so this illusion of levitation can convince its audience of the existence of the supernatural. A classic tourbillon uses the rotation of the cage to balance the gravitational attraction. However, this magical device seems to defy these laws.
The watch was equipped with an anti-reflective sapphire crystal disk with an aperture the size of the tourbillon in order to create the illusion of levitation. The disc was set to support the cage in rotation and the minute wheel was positioned on the axis designer to reduce the resistance torque. Its force is transmitted to the tourbillion and caused the entire device to revolve every 5 minutes in space. As a result, the tourbillion makes a full turn of the open space in 5 minutes and at the same time the cage makes 5 revolutions. The trick is to place a rack around the edge of the crystal disk so that it transforms into a large gear wheel and performs one revolution every five minutes.

Many companies stayed until recently attached to the traditional way of working: the job exercise during office hours within the office walls. Today they feel it is time to move to a more innovative and flexible working environment. Willing to make a switch in the minds of the workers and strive for a new way of working, proves that a company moves with the times. Going "paperless" generates several challenges because employees must get rid of old habits. While working remotely many employees do not have access to their personal document archives. Digitizing these personal archives requires specific expertise as there is no logic behind like in classical archives with indexed records. Every personal archive is unique. Input For You developed a web based tool allowing each individual to assign its own metadata to each document. As a result, the digitized paper archive can be consulted remotely in the same logical way as it was stored on paper by the employee.
The office documents will be picked and placed into boxes by the employees or by Input For You with a unique barcode number (provided by Input For You). A detailed picking list will be established. This will be the corner stone of the whole process and the basis for traceability. The business owner is responsible to organize and structure his or her metadata. Input For You will provide a web-based application where the business owner will enter the identifier (metadata) of his documents. Input For You will provide an A4 patch with a unique barcode. The patch needs to be added to his documents as a separator page or as first page of the folder or document. The barcode on the separator page will be recognized by the scanner and serve as identifier.
Pallets with boxes are directly transported to our scanning centre. The documents will be immediately prepared and scanned.
After scanning, boxes will be kept in our short-term storage area until validation. After validation by the customer they can be sent to a long-term storage area or destruction.
Documents are removed from their folder, staples and clips are removed, papers smaller than A6 (post-it, tickets, ...) are tapped. If larger than A3, sheets are cut.
A team of 30 people is ready to prepare the documents.
We use BANCTEC high-speed scanners and Kodak I620 scanners.
Calibrating and parameterization of the scanners: Each scanner is calibrated every day for optimum image quality. All scanners are interchangeable and covered by a maintenance contract with less than 4 hours response time.
Productivity per BANCTEC scanner exceeds 30 000 sheets per day per shift. IFY operates 4 BANCTEC scanners in two shifts per day.
Productivity of the KODAK I620 scanners reaches 15 000 sheets per day per shift. IFY owns 6 KODAK I620 scanners.
All documents are scanned in 'dual stream'. i.e. the scanner produces 2 files per page or 4 images per sheet
- Bitonal version (black & white), 200/240/300 dpi – format TIFF mono page compression G4 (recto/verso)
- Colour Version or Grey Scale 24bits, 200/240/300 dpi– format JPEG or TIFF mono page compressed (recto/verso)
After scanning, the folders are registered in our proprietary DOCFLOW platform.
They are then identified according to their barcode number. The logical files will be accompanied by the metadata (entered by the employee in the web-tool) for integration in a document management system that identifies the file in a unique way.
The objective is to create a NET VERSION of the electronic documents with an optimum weight (full clean up) and easy to integrate in your DMS.
- Light clean up (scannen in grijswaarden)
- Pages are rotated for readability (portrait/landscape)
- Removal of blank pages after visual control.
- Full clean up (Dual stream B&W and grayscale/colour scanning)
- Selection between B&W, Grey Scale or Colour versions.
- B&W is selected by default because of its light weight but if not readable enough, the grayscale/colour version is selected.
- This is particularly important for hand filled forms or letters.
It must be stressed that every single image is physically controlled during this process.
Statistical quality control is performed according to ISO 2859.
IFY guarantees 99,75% accuracy on identification and 99,9% on scanning or preparation.
The e-data will be delivered daily via secured FTP protocol.
- Active data are delivered within working 8 hours from picking
- Passive data scanned on request are delivered within 24 hours
All data are scanned for virus prior to being set on the FTP server
A two months acceptance period by the customer of the electronic documents is included. Any issue identified within the period which is due to IFY, will be corrected at no cost.

The ancient Stoic philosopher Epictetus advised: "Know, first, who you are, then adorn yourself accordingly." At The Bespoke Corner Tailors we pride ourselves as being makers of impeccable made to measure suits for Sydney and Melbourne men of distinction, and concur with the sentiment that a gentleman's confidence and sense of self is irrevocably linked with the garments he adorns himself with.
Our business is built on the anchor that the experience of purchasing a custom tailored suit should reflect the gravitas of the milestone, combining a superior bespoke suiting product with traditional service and attention to detail. And, we maintain, it should and can be done at a price point that represents remarkable value for money.
Whether you're looking to update the corporate wardrobe with reliable suiting staples that align with your lofty workplace ambitions, add some class to your casual options, or inject some bold vibrancy into your look with made to measure suits destined for special occasions, like a wedding or the races, we lean on decades of experience to craft a tailoring service unlike any other.
While all of our custom suits embody the spirit of artisanal craftsmanship, we also understand the practicalities of budget and the gentleman's desire to have suits across different price points for different purposes. In our significant experience as tailors in Sydney, Melbourne and around the world, we've come to recognise that most men want a Monday-to-Friday corporate wardrobe that represents quality for value, as well as a few highlight suits for special occasions and important meetings. For this reason, we have created a two-tier system, representing the 'very good' to the 'very best' of custom made suits.
Our Blue Label range is manufactured in China at the factory of our trusted partner. While the price is lower in comparison to almost any other custom suits in Sydney or Melbourne, owing to our long relationship with the tailoring workshop, measurements are still taken in person at your fitting and final alterations and inspections are also carried out by our own tailors in Sydney or Melbourne, ensuring the final product adheres to our commitment to quality. It goes without saying that even our Blue Label range boasts a canvas construction, rather than the fused skeleton utilised by cheaper suiting options in the market.
Our White Label range represent the pinnacle of bespoke suits, being handmade in Italy from the finest fabrics in the world. While they are priced at roughly double our Blue Label range, the provenance in the supply chain, from our expert tailors in Melbourne and Sydney to the workshop in Italy, represent unparalleled value in the Australian market. We truly believe that our White Label range offers the most polished and remarkable bespoke suit experience across Australia, and we do so at a price point well below any competitor.
Whether you're getting married or it's your duty to help the groom put his best sartorial foot forward as best man, there are few occasions that mandate tailoring perfection as much as a wedding. From either of our Sydney and Melbourne studios we offer an intimate and customised experience for wedding suits unlike any other, helping grooms and groomsmen navigate the made to measure options at your fingertips and the complexities of wedding attire with the old school charm of personalised tailoring.
From fabric selection to suit cut, lapel style, button selection, pockets, lining and cuffs, as well as the details of colour and style coordination (with each other as groomsmen, with the bridesmaids and with the formality/style of the wedding), our depth of experience in wedding suits means we are more than just world-class tailors: we are your trusted sartorial guides through this milestone. Call today to book your free consultation.
We have rapidly garnered a reputation for providing the finest men's suits in Australia through the inception of our two flagship studios in the cities of Sydney and Melbourne, providing men of all backgrounds with suits that they are passionate about and are proud to wear.
Our processes for the crafting of your bespoke suit couldn't be simpler, with only a visit to one of our studios required. One of our tailors will discuss your requirements with you to obtain a feel for what you're looking for in your new suit before presenting you with a range of materials in a variety of colours and patterns. From there, it is simply a case of diligently taking your measurements, with your custom suit ready in no more than 4-6 weeks.
You deserve only the best, so call us today to book your appointment with our tailors in Sydney or Melbourne. Our mission is to make the process of crafting your suit an experience you will never forget so look no further than The Bespoke Corner for your next tailored suit.

A Peek under the M58p's Hood:By Frank Ohlhorst | Print
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
The M58p ThinkCentre promises to be the greenest, most manageable and the most secure PC to date from Lenovo, but does it live up to the hype?
At first blush, the M58p doesn't look all that much different than the M57p, the previous generation of Lenovo's lean, green and mean desktop PCs, but delving a little deeper reveals a host of improvements, advancements and innovations that promise to deliver that much more value to the enterprise.
The big news with the M58p is "Power Manager," a ThinkVantage technology that allows PC users to control their electricity consumption remotely. For the channel, Power Manager could be an important tool, allowing solution providers to remotely manage power saving features for their customers as part of a managed service.
Featuring a plethora of ports, an easy access tower case and a minimum of bloatware, the M58p screamed quality. The location of ports and associated labeling was well thought out. What's more, initial setup was a snap, with the system preconfigured with the necessary drivers and with Vista completely preinstalled, eliminating the lengthy setup procedure often found with a new Vista PC. There were some trial versions of software pre-installed, but none were intrusive, just simple icons on the desktop that an installer can choose to launch or ignore.
We tested the M58p with Passmark Performance Test V6.1 and were rewarded with an overall Passmark score of 845.4. While not an overly impressive score, the system was hampered by the onboard graphics – a discrete graphics GPU would have greatly improved the overall score. Even so, there was still something impressive about the Passmark score and that was the fact that during testing the unit never exceeded 75 watts of power consumption according to our Kill-a-watt pro meter. What's more, average power usage was under 65 watts for our complete suite of tests, showing that the M58p is indeed very efficient.
But, that is only the beginning of the story when it comes to efficiency, thanks to Lenovo's Power Manager, several settings can be modified to further reduce power consumption. Solution providers can choose to power down hard drives, reduce CPU voltages, setup automatic sleep and hibernation and many other elements to reduce power consumption. That really gives the M58p a green hue!
Sticking with the green theme, Lenovo made sure that the unit was environmentally friendly by adhering to RoHS, Energy Star and several other eco-standards to deliver a system that has minimal environmental impact, while still sipping power efficiently and keeping a small carbon footprint.
For solution providers going for the green – both environmentally and financially – it is pretty hard to beat Lenovo's latest stab at a manageable PC.
Those looking to play in the Manages Services space will appreciate the unit's "green tune-ability" and integrated support for Intel's VPRO II hardware management platform. Lenovo offers various partner programs to solution providers and ships products through major distributors. Savvy solution providers should be able to realize margins as high as 20 percent, but the real revenue potential will come from bundling managed services with the PC, while using the M58p's "touch of green" to fuel the sales process.

AlDub Tidora reveals Lola Nidora's secret. Yaya Dub mother is alive! Who will play the…
Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza) was absent in Kalyeserye but her dubsmash compilation of Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola) quotes were aired during the segment.
Meanwhile, Alden was shown buying several baskets full of pili nuts in Bicol, to fulfill Lola Nidora's challenge.
But the high point of Kalyeserye today is Tidora's (Paolo Ballesteros) revelation of Lola Nidora's well-kept secret.
What's Lola Nidora's secret
Tidora (Paolo Ballesteros), Yaya Dub (Maine Mendoza), Lola Nidora (Wally Bayola)
Yaya Dub is Tidora and Lola Nidora's niece?
She is the daughter of their "third" sister.
In other words, the sisters are actually "triplets"!
The third sister, Yaya Dub's mother
It's obvious that Jose Manalo might play the role of the third "__idora" or Yaya Dub's mother in the coming days.
From the way he is insisting the third sister of Lola Nidora and Tidora is already dead, it seems Jose Manalo is uncomfortable with the possibility of cross-dressing for the role.
Despite the absence of Yaya Dub and Alden's usual routine, #ALDUBAngLihimNiLola was on Twitter's top trending topics in the Philippines and Worldwide.

Agastache is a perennial herb that is a member of the mint family. They can grow to be 3 feet tall and 2 1/2 feet wide. Agastache attracts butterflies, bees and hummingbirds and emit a sweet fragrance. Their blooms come in a variety of colors including lavender and pink. Agastache is planted in USDA zones 5 to 9, and to help maintain it as perennial, you should not cut off the foliage until after winter.
Choose a sunny location to plant your agastache. In colder zones that have wet winters, plant agastache in an area with maximum sun exposure, such as on a south or west facing slope. This will help keep them warm and help with water drainage.
Turn over the top 12 inches of your soil and mix in several inches of sand so that it drains well. This will also create a raised bed, which helps with water drainage.
Dig holes for your agastache that are just as deep as its current container, but twice as wide. Space multiple agastache 2 feet apart.
Take the agastache out of its container and place it in the hole. Backfill the soil and tamp it down to get rid of all the air pockets.
Water the plant well and cover the planting site with 2 inches of course sand or fine gravel mulch. This will help keep the plants warm during the winter months and help them retain water.
Things You Will Need
- Garden rake
- Sand
- Trowel
- Water
- Mulch

The charge arose from an incident in March after Barnes, 30, and the girl, 16, went with another couple to a bar in George Town. Later the other couple was dropped off, and Barnes was taking the girl home when the offence occurred.
In passing sentence, Justice Algernon Smith said the only aggravating feature that had been mentioned to him about the offence was Barnes' previous convictions, which included one for rape. He had been convicted in 2001, sentenced to 10 years in prison and recently released. Crown Counsel Tricia Hutchinson had asked him to bear this fact in mind.
Defence Attorney John Furniss listed mitigating factors, which included Barnes' guilty plea.
"By that plea, one would be reasonable in concluding that the accused was penitent or showed some sign of contrition. He did not waste the court's time and, of course, there was no need for the victim to go through what I might describe as the crucible of cross-examination," Justice Smith said.
Further, there was no breach of trust involved and the girl was "just about the age of consent," he noted. The judge said it was alleged that Barnes used force but there was no allegation of violence "if one can distinguish between force and violence."
Both counsel had referred to sentences in previous cases, but Justice Smith pointed out that many of the cases cited involved victims under the age of consent. He indicated that the most relevant case was one in which the victim was in her 20s and the offence involved oral sex, as this one did. That defendant received an 18-month sentence, with three related terms made to run concurrently. He was 26 at the time and of previous good character.
Barnes had been scheduled to go on trial starting 13 December for abduction, rape, indecent assault and threatening violence – all charges relating to the same incident. However, after he entered the guilty plea, Ms Hutchison said the Crown would not proceed or offer evidence on the other three charges. She explained this was the result of her discussions with the complainant and the Solicitor General, plus a review of statements and the preliminary inquiry record.
Mr. Furniss noted that Barnes has been in custody since his arrest on 30 March and he asked the time be taken into account.

It's closing in on two am and it's too hot to sleep. My bed is a rotating pool of sweat and temporary madness. Vessel of terrible dreams and sheet-ripping frustration. The late-nighters with their busted headlights and fluorescent badges are crawling around out there. I can hear bottles tinkling and girls laughing. Faint red aircraft lights bounce from the tops of buildings into my tired eyes. I can't get that certain song out of my head and if I don't hear it now, at two am, I just might have to check into the bin. I'm having this dream that I'm on a ranch with all these people and hundreds of horses. At least I think it's a dream. I take a few photos of the horses, just to find out.
The horses. And the sleeping pills. I'm thinking about the sleeping pills in the cupboard. They don't resemble those red aircraft lights. I should take a couple. Up out of bed. 1/2 liter of water. Two pills blinding white on my sunburned palm. Slap of palm to mouth. Wash of water. There's that song again. Maybe I should take a spoon so that I can dig my brain out of my head, if it comes down to that. I notice that a certain glass has been resting on the counter for a week, forlorn and unamused. I should really put it away. Only three hours until sunrise. Three hours of madness, unless the little red lights do their thing. And dammit, I did see horses. Fucked if I can't sleep.

StreetRag is an urban weblog and podcast about the city of Edmonton, which is located in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is authored by Edmonton-based writer, web advocate, and poet Michael Gravel and is updated frequently with written urban vignettes, amateurish photographs, deuteronomous audio material, barely coherent musings and rambling ecumenical treatises. StreetRag is a love letter to a lonely prairie burg struggling with its big city ambitions and small-town feel.
The city is Edmonton. It's a subject, not a passion. E-Town is almost universally derided by outsiders as an unlivable tundra wasteland populated by oil-hungry redneck conservatives who despise the arts. All of that is true. But it's not the whole story. There is beauty here. Dusty snowfalls. Brilliant summers. A stunning river valley. A diverse arts community that flourishes. It's a place that inspires a gray relationship - not all good, not all shitty. For that reason alone it is lovable, for what is life but a grayscale?

Fence Board Sign
Lovely, no?
Instead of taking it down like any normal person would do, I decided I'd rather just cover it up. So I pulled out a few scrap fence boards and a length of 1x2 that I had in the garage and started cutting, sanding, and screwing them together to make a big sign.
I added a few upholstery tacks just for some interest.
A couple of eye screws and some heavy duty wire on the back...
... and I've got a nice little hanger for my new sign.
The wood got beaten a little with a hammer and other tools to dent the boards, then I primed and painted it with Heirloom White and sanded it to distress the paint.
There are so many options for how you could paint your sign and what it could say. Some ideas I considered were:
~ an inspirational quote or word
~ a scripture
~ a line of a song
~ my family's last name and our anniversary date
Once I decided on what the sign would say, I printed out the words (backwards!) in the size I wanted, then arranged the words and fixed them in place with painter's tape.
(As you can see, I ended up changing my mind about the font I wanted.) Using the method outlined in this tutorial, I transferred the letters from my printed paper onto the wood.
I've learned after doing this a few times that the best results are achieved when you've painted your surface with regular old craft acrylic paint. House paint with any kind of sheen and even spray paint tend to repel the ink, so your finished words are very, very light. Because I'd used spray paint on the sign, my transferred letters were visible but too light to read well, so I had to go back over my lettering with some watered down acrylic paint to make them readable, but not too bold.
And here it is in its place of honor.
The finishing touch was to wipe some brown glaze onto the edges and along the seams where the boards meet, just to make it look more worn and aged.
Talk about an easy, inexpensive way to add some personal, unique and high-impact art to a wall.
Even though this project was experimental, I'm actually pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Bye-bye, ugly black bracket thing.

Wow! It looks beautiful! I've seen this method around, but your post here is really inspiring me to try it out for myself! It looks SO pretty. I think the glaze at the end added a lot.
New follower! I would love it if you would check out my blog and see if it would be something you'd be interested in following too!

Plastic fencing is pretty, but does need to have electric run on the inside of it, as the boards are installed similarly to split rail, and just pop right out if a horse leans too hard on them. And if they break, they always break with very sharp points.

Ah! The pleasures of being a woman: I can be a different person everyday. One day I can don a sexy LBD, put on a pair of stilettos and walk out of the house looking like a diva. The next day, I can wear a crisp navy-blue suit, put on a pair of bellies, a chic pearl necklaces and look like a smart businesswoman. On the day after, I can wear an elegant silk saree, a dozen gold bangles in my hand, a traditional gold necklace around my neck, earrings and a pair of heeled mojris to look like the traditional Indian woman. Different hairstyles, different makeup, different clothes, different accessories; I can experiment with so many different styles. But the best part of it all is being able to wear jewellery.
All you ladies agree with me, don't you? Wearing so many different styles of jewellery is definitely one of the best things of being a woman. Even when it comes to jewellery , I have so many different metals and styles to choose from. But my favourite among them all is gold. Although several other metals like sterling silver, diamond jewellery , and platinum are available today, nothing can replace the glamour of gold. It makes me feel like I'm royal; like I was born to enjoy these rich pleasures of life. The way it glints when light falls on it, its elegant colour, the feel of that metal on my skin, its coolness, and its softness entice me. Especially when it comes to gold necklaces, I simply cannot let go of them.
Wearing a gold necklaces , clasping its hook and then looking at my image in the mirror give me a rush that few other experiences can match. The way it adds beauty to my ensemble never fails to fascinate me. Two minutes ago, my neck looked plain and empty in comparison to the heavy Kanjeevaram saree I'm wearing. But now, there sits a beautiful gold necklace intricately embellished with rubies and emeralds. The colours of the gems match my saree. I know I will be the centre of attention in today's wedding reception.
Did I mention that my love for gold is so profound that I buy fashion magazines to check the latest gold necklace designs? Yes, I'm thoroughly obsessed. I collect cutouts of these latest designs so that I can use them while I go to the jewellery store next time. But my obsession has suffered for the past year. Gold hasn't been in trend. And a fashionista like me would never wear something out of trend.
But the good news is gold is all the rage this season. This is because the price has dropped considerably. This price drop has encouraged designers to bring out fresh gold necklace designs in the market. Now I can get my hands on the trendiest necklace in the market. What's more, I don't have to look for my magazine cutouts to check latest trends. I can simply check them on an online store.
Online shopping has made things so easy for me. And I can be sure that they have the latest designs because they launch a fresh collection every season. If you loved my story on online gold jewellery shopping, you should try it too.

Single Shot Percussion Pistols Priced Over $700
Long Barrel .46 Caliber Single Shot With Saw Grip Handle
Item #: A2367
Click on an image to enlarge
What a cool looking gun! This is a percussion single shot pistol that fires a single bullet of about .46 caliber. The barrel is full-length at 9 inches. It has the original brass blade front sight present but worn down. Towards the breech of the barrel it has the stud style sight that was added long ago. When this gun was originally made, it would have been a flintlock. It was converted to percussion using the drum style conversion. They used a neat looking hammer for the conversion and it has the serpent style design as you can see in the images. The mechanics of the lock still work well on both positions. The stock of this one is what really stands out is the design of the stock. It is constructed of a beautiful single piece of dark wood. On the handle it has the portion that angles back which is why this pattern has the nickname of a "Sawgrip" handle. It has the original brass furniture intact including the brass ramrod channel guides and triggerguard. The triggerguard has the pineapple style finial. This is a cool looking gun from all angles.

Diana Containerships recently completed a US$ 107 mio follow-on shares offering in New York last week at a steep discount to the company's net asset value (NAV) and its previous share price. This new IPO follows the Paragon Boxships offering and has many of the same inherent defects as a pure asset speculation play rather than a coherent entry into the containership business.
Credit Suisse recently downgraded the parent drybulk company, Diana Shipping, to 'underperform' status due its exposure to larger bulk carriers in present lackluster market conditions. Rates have plummeted from the the beginning of the year and the over supply of tonnage is significant with the order book overhang.
Diana Shipping came into the 2008 meltdown with one of the strongest balance sheets and has been considered a favorite by many analysts. Investor pressure for profit expectations led management to move into containerships given the deep slide in containership values in 2009 and the comeback in container market last year.
Like Paragon, Diana has no history in the containership sector and would be solely a vessel provider to liner companies with little added value, very similar to the German KG market, which is heavily invested in this sector. Indeed their strategy is potentially to pick up container vessel assets from beleaguered German KGs.
Both are late in the game to their established and successful peer, Seaspan. Diana management lacks the charism of Gerry Wang and his almost mythological Chinese business connections. It lacks the investor backing/ Far East connections clout of the Tiger Group, related to Seaspan.
Diana Containership NAV before the offering was estimated between US$ 15-16, but the offering was priced at US$ 7,50 to attract investors. The huge discount made the offering popular with investors; but a disaster for shareholders, who bought into the company at the initial price of $15. More significant is that Diana originally had expected to raise as much as US$ 250 mio in fresh funds in the offering led by FBR Capital Markets of the US. But with interest lacking, its own US$ 50 mio contribution to the spin-off wound up giving it a majority stake in the new venture. The result left Diana without sufficient capital to be a player of any size in boxships.
All this makes you wonder what FBR Capital had in mind to back such a venture. In any case, Jefferies, Cantor Fitzgerald and Wells Fargo are touting this nascent "Seaspan" as a 'buy' ostensibly to feed the retail investor 'ducks' on Wall Street.
Whilst they have a plausible argument on low share valuation and container market expectations, Diana Containerships is one of many vessel providers and new ordering by the likes of Seaspan and other established players may leave this company at the station for an adventure that could potentially turn out more like some of the German KG's.

Nigeria Swears it Knows Where Missing Girls Are, Canadian Girlfriend Totally Real
Wow, this is believable:
Nigeria's military knows where more than 200 schoolgirls abducted last month by Islamist militants are being held and is studying how to rescue them, Chief of Defense Staff Air Marshal Alex Badeh said. "The good news for the parents of the girls is that we know where they are, but we cannot tell you," Badeh told human rights activists yesterday in the capital, Abuja, in remarks broadcast on Radio Nigeria today. "My girlfriend in Canada found them and told me where to look," Badeh continued, "Also, my totally real girlfriend is a model."I may have added that last bit.

ST. LOUIS . . . Lincoln now offers a 90-pound
Heavy-duty Reservoir, a larger version of its 60-pound reservoir, which
is ideal when longer maintenance intervals on machinery are needed.
This reservoir is designed for grease lube systems on mobile mining and
construction equipment.
For use with hydraulic or air
pumps, the rugged reservoir features 14-gauge steel walls and a large
û-inch NPT inlet for fast filling. It has a wiper on the follower plate
to reduce lubricant waste and a thick mounting ring that withstands
severe vibration. When servicing is required, the special coupling
makes it easy to remove the pump from the vent valve.
The reservoir's enhanced low
level indicator eliminates false low-level signals, and its thick rubber
seal helps to keep contaminants out. The unit also has stop bolts on
its follower plate and a tube that extends to the center of the
reservoir to prevent the follower plate from cocking.

For nearly a year, Google was hiding ProtonMail from search results for queries such as 'secure email' and 'encrypted email'. This was highly suspicious because ProtonMail has long been the world's largest encrypted email provider.
This incident illustrates that for ProtonMail to be successful, it is important that we can continue to grow independently of search engines so that it is impossible for any search company to intentionally or unintentionally cripple us.
The more we get the word out about the importance of online privacy, the more we make it impossible to suppress, ban, or otherwise pressure encrypted email services such as ProtonMail. We believe online privacy is critical for an open, democratic, and free future, and regardless of the obstacles ahead of us, we will continue building the tools necessary to protect this future.

One Last Curtain Call!

Great mushroom shots! I hope that you enjoy your blogging break :-)ReplyDelete
I agree: I love living in a place that gives me a front-row seat to all the changes of nature - from birth to death and in between. Thanks for your beautiful word pictures today. Enjoy your blogging break! I hope you're off to do something fun!ReplyDelete
I think we need to enjoy life as it comes along and not long for things in the past or for those we hope will happen in the future. Nice captures of the toadstools, Buttons!ReplyDelete
Beautiful words today. I noticed two similar mushrooms under the cedar tree next to the front deck on the weekend. Enjoy your blog break. Hugs. PamReplyDelete
There is a lot of beauty in all that surrounds us, we just need to train our minds to see it. Enjoy your blogger break, Miss B.ReplyDelete

Words of wisdom Buttons... Beautiful farewell shots of the mushrooms, they look as though they are laying down to sleep.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your break, we'll keep the light on for you!
Love mushrooms especially proper ones. Hugs M xoxReplyDelete
Wonderful shots. Enjoy your break.ReplyDelete
Buttons, I believe there is beauty in death, and you've shown in your photos how nature says goodbye. It's snowing hard here in the mountains of CO - a whiteout with blowing. Soon my skis will be in use. Have fun on your break.ReplyDelete
I finally get around to catching up - only to find you on break? We are going to have to coordinate girl! Lovely thoughts today. Enjoy your time off.ReplyDelete
Sending you happy thoughts, Buttons! Enjoy your time away! xoReplyDelete
Liking those on the ground shots of Fungi, oadstools and such . . .ReplyDelete
Happy break time!
Ah, the angels of death (the mushrooms) — so exquisitely pictured!ReplyDelete
And if I can hibernate, you can take a blogging break. And that's the truth!
Blessings and Bear hug, Buttons! (And remember to keep a warm hat on your head!)
You found some very colorful fungus. You still have green grass for the fungus's comfort.ReplyDelete
What a great post. And so true! Beauty is all around if we just look..ReplyDelete

Nature gives us so many lessons and so much beauty, if we just look, like you do, B, and inspire me to do. Enjoy your break! We are expecting a cold front coming in tomorrow--will be winter cold for the next week or so.ReplyDelete
We explore everyday and I am thankful for this too, the camera seems to be attached to an invisible string when we are out, we can't seem to get close enough, just like you :-). Enjoy your blogger break. xxoo LReplyDelete
Much like you, I love exploration in nature so much B . We got our second snow of November last night.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your break and hope you'll have an amazing time with whatever your doing .
Enjoy your blogging break :) can't wait until your return. Stay warm!ReplyDelete
I watched the sun set a brilliant pink over the houses in the distant last night and wondered how long it would be before I would see it again. Here's hoping for a short, mild and pretty winter! Enjoy your blogging break!ReplyDelete
enjoy your blogging break; it does a body GOOD!ReplyDelete
You are so fortunate in living in a place where the change of seasons makes such a difference to everything. Here in Perth it is sometimes difficult to determine if we actually have autumn or spring and seem to go from winter into summer.ReplyDelete
It is a pity those fungi are not edible as they are so plentiful. They are quite beautiful with their pretty markings but soon they will be gone and become part of the soil in which they grew.
Enjoy your break; we will be her when you return. Hugs.
You wouldn't be on the ground here! It's covered with snow and 10 degrees outside! BrrrrrrReplyDelete
Great pictures, as always.
Cindy Bee
Green grass! and breaks are good. as long as they arent permanent!ReplyDelete
The mind grows by what it feeds on. J.G. Holland

This year they boys will be participating in the daily thankfulness challenge that you often see on facebook every November. Only instead of just putting it on facebook (which I'll be doing on the Sceleratus Classical Academy page) we will also be making a fall leaf garland with our answers.
I searched our local dollar store trying to find die cut fall leaves that I could have sworn I'd seen there before. But they did not have any, so we went on a Leaf Treasure Hunt around our neighborhood to find as many different shapes, sizes, and colors of leaves we could find. We'll be using these for various activities this week.
Once we got back home we each chose a color. Daddy is orange, Builder Boy is green, Early Bird is red, and I am yellow. I chose various leaves and traced them onto colored construction paper. After I traced the leaf I folded the paper as many times as I could make fit to make multiple copies of the leaf shape. This was the only way to accomplish cutting out 120 leaves in one hour or less.
|Step 1: Trace
|Step 2: Fold
|Step 3: Cut
|Or fold, then fit, then cut.
|Make sure you have 30!
If you can find pre-cut leaves, use them! If you have kids old enough to cut nicely, use them! But once I got into the groove, it wasn't too bad.
Once you've cut them out you can write what you are thankful for that day and add it to the garland. I used staples to attach the paper leaves to a ribbon. I am hanging the garland on the wall in our dining area. The paper color will likely fade over time, but this is a decoration I could possibly save and bring out next year.
PS. It's okay to start this project a few days late!
Added later: I had the thought that if you wanted to make a decoration with your thankfulness answers, but didn't want to do all that cutting, you could write your answers on strips of colored paper and make a paper chain instead.
