Details.051" thick multi-layer shim steel. engine codes B16A1/B16A2/B16A3/B18C1/B18C4/B18C6. Integra Type R VTEC 1.8 97-, Civic VTi VTEC 1.6 91-00, VTi VTEC 1.8 97-00, Aerodeck VTEC 1.8 98-, CRX/ Del Sol VTEC 1.6 92-00. Cometic MLS gaskets are comprised of multiple layers of stainless steel due to its increased strength, ability to rebound and resistance to corrosion. The outer layers of the gaskets are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton - a flouroelastomer rubber based material that is heat resistant to 250C / 482F. Viton is designed to meet the demands of a variety of harsh sealing environments, load conditions and surface finishes. The centre or shim layer is a uncoated stainless steel layer which can be varied to accommodate multiple thickness requirements. They provide maximum sealing performance for today's high output engines and require no sealants. Ideal for aluminium heads to aluminium blocks and aluminium heads to cast iron blocks withstanding the shearing force created by the two materials. No need to re-torque, the embossing design of the MLS gasket promotes an even clamp load across the sealing surface allowing for measurable reduced bore distortion.

I'm thinking I could have drawn 13 more faces and it would've been the 16 personalities of Sybil. But these aren't really Eve's or Sybil's faces. They're mine. I came across this picture of a blind contour mirror drawing and it looked easy enough. The rules were:
- Look at yourself in the mirror while you draw
- Don't lift your pen from the paper
- Don't look at the paper.
Well, I broke all the rules! This was not as easy as I thought it would be. Number one, When I drew my first figure (red), I couldn't believe how small she turned out. I thought I was using the whole page.
I think I like this green girl the best….even though she is shedding some tears. That cheek was calling for something.
Not quite sure what nightmare this blue guy came from. He's barely human looking. Possibly related to Picasso.
This one looks like a Carol Burnett caricature. Love that chin!
After I got done, the faces were just kind of hanging there….I looked again and they reminded me of Mardi Gras masks… so that's how they got their black strap.
This was a fun exercise to let me play with color. Used those wonderful watercolor pencils to get that variety of color. Then I just went in and doodled with black, green, red, blue and white markers. Another simple fun piece.

IPlug versions (32 and 64 bits)
Hi everyone, I apologies for not being very active. I finally decided to kick myself and port some of the amp sims to IPlug in order to ease the release of cross plateform versions of my plugins. I would like to thanks Oli Larkin for his enhanced version of Cockos' IPlug. You can get all the infos and download it from here. I have compiled 32 and 64 bits versions of VST for Windows and Mac as well as AudioUnit versions (32 and 64 bits) for Mac of HyBrit, LeGion, LeCto, LeXtac and Le456. The download links are on the right in "Amp sims pack" section. These have not been tested extensively so use them at your own risks and if you don't mind you can report bugs here. Apart from the MCJ channel of HyBrit, which has been changed a little bit, all the other sims should sound pretty much the same as the older versions.

Long before the age of government-mandated low-flush toilets and low-wattage light bulbs, William F. Buckley captured the essence of modern nanny-state liberalism with his comment that a liberal is someone who wants to reach in and turn down your shower. People are wise to the endlessly meddling ways of modern liberalism, which is why there is so much resistance to the plans of electric utilities, thoroughly socialized and housebroken by decades of regulation, to introduce "smart meters" to private residences. I get the idea behind "smart meters," and like them in the abstract. But a lot of people understand that smart meters may be the first step to enabling the Thermocrats to dial back your power usage remotely if they think you are using "too much" electricity to, say, keep yourself cool during hot summer afternoons. Utilities already try to persuade people to volunteer to allow them to cycle off your appliances remotely during periods of peak demand in return for a slight discount on your bill. But things that start out voluntary have a way of becoming mandatory with liberals, and smart meters are a step to enhancing the power of environmentalist Thermocrats.
Someone in Texas (where else?) has said No. From today's Greenwire (subscription required unfortunately):
Texas Woman Pulls Gun on Meter Installer
In order to keep a smart meter from being installed in her home, a Houston woman pulled out a gun.
Harris County, Texas, resident Thelma Taormina grabbed her gun when a worker from CenterPoint Energy arrived to install the electric meter. The 55-year-old woman has a license for a concealed handgun.
"He kept pushing me away," she said. "He saw [the gun] and went back the other way."
CenterPoint officials said they were "deeply troubled by anyone [who] would pull a gun on another person performing their job."
The utility has been installing thousands of smart meters for several years in the Houston area. While the company says the meters would cut costs and reduce power consumption, owners say the new meters bring higher electricity bills.
Under the current system, homeowners cannot opt out of the meters.
"Our constitution allows us not to have that kind of intrusion on our personal privacy," Taormina said. "They'll be able to tell if you are running your computer, air conditioner, whatever it is"
Expect more of this resistance.

Taking Time Out
Bill and I love Cody immensely. And so much of the time we feel as though we should not exclude Cody from any part of our lives. We enjoy having him with us wherever we go. We even miss him when he's gone with other family members. But we have let those feelings override our need to spend time together as a husband and wife should.
I'm talking about things as simple as just the two of us going out to dinner. Even when Cody spends the night with his grandparents, we have neglected to see that as an opportunity to sit on the sofa and spend time talking or just going out for ice cream at the local drive-in. When we get up in the mornings we may exchange conversation but we often wait for Cody to get up so we can spend time together as a family when we could have been sharing a cup of coffee on the patio together as a couple.
If others were to be able to see how an average day goes in our household, they may be led to believe that Bill and I were more like brother and sister who share a responsibility in Cody's care instead of husband and wife who love our son dearly, but who also share a deep love for each other as well. In reality, this isn't the case at all. Bill and I actually love each other very much.
Bill and I have talked and we both agree this is something that we need to address. But we're going to have to get a little more creative about it. For us, it's not as simple as calling up the girl next door to see if she is free to babysit Friday night. First of all, when you live in a rural area your next-door neighbor may live a good distance away from you. Just like you, they often have jobs outside their farms and lead very busy lives; maybe you have had a chance to get to know them and maybe you haven't. But even if you're like me and have siblings close by, circumstances still may not be right. I trust that my brother and sister both would do their very best to care for Cody and make him feel safe and loved. But they too have busy lives and their availability is limited. And neither of them has spent a great deal of time around Cody and wouldn't know how to interpret a lot of what he says, his moods and what his actual needs might be.
There are respite services available. Some are in the form of daycare, which we are not in the market for. There are also respite caregivers who would be available to come to our home to stay with Cody for a few hours so we could have some time to ourselves. While we have always depended upon family members thus far for those rare nights out, we will be investigating candidates from those providers, as well as whether or not we can fit such services into our budget.
In the meantime, it is ultimately up to Bill and me to make time for us to be alone. First, we have to get past the feeling of guilt we have when we don't include Cody in every minute of our day. It's an easy trap to fall into for all parents who love their children regardless of whether they are neurotypical children or children with special needs. But an appropriate time for parents to be alone together without their children should not be looked upon as a selfish desire, it is needed and it will help parents to be better parents.
Alone time does not always require an outside caregiver. A little planning can go a long way. Some of my ideas include planning a night to make a cheese and sausage platter and have a bottle of wine we can share by the fire after Cody goes to bed. I would be happy having a dinner for two by candlelight out on the patio underneath the stars. And on those occasions when Code does go to his grandparents for a weekend, I'll be happy to pack a picnic lunch and just go sightseeing for a day. Because sometimes parents need a "time-out"!

When I first heard about how LeAnn Rimes stole Eddie Cibrian from Brandi Glanville, I kind of hated LeAnn. But then when I saw Brandi on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, I kind of hated Brandi. But then as time went on, and I got to know Brandi a little bit better -- and after LeAnn sent the world's most obnoxious tweet -- I'm over LeAnn. For good.
Before spending the weekend with her husband and two stepsons -- Brandi's biological children -- LeAnn insensitively recently fired off the tweet: "Flying out with my boys in a few hrs. Love that it's a family tour weekend. It's always more fun when they are with me."
Dude. That's some balls right there. "My boys." Oof.
Of course, once Brandi got wind of the tweet, she fired back, resulting in an all-out twitter war, and reigniting their dormant feud.
Oh, 2012. How proud our Founding Fathers would be of you.
Quickly after LeAnn's tweet, Brandi wrote: "Someone is trying 2 get under my skin by calling MY children "her boys" Sooo transparent! They R MY boys, Eddie Boys and ur step-sons... 4 now." LeAnn didn't directly retaliate to Brandi, but she did continue to post photos and tweet tweets about her awesome family-filled weekend. And she did retweet the following message: "Being a step mom is such a hard role to play....but only the strongest women can handle it!" Wow.
LeAnn -- take it down a notch. I don't think Brandi Glanville is the classiest woman in the world, but cut the lady some slack. You already took her husband -- isn't that enough? Is is really necessary to send out a tweet referring to her kids as "my boys"? I certainly don't think you would like that if you were in her position. Try to show a little respect, for crying out loud. I mean, damn, talk about a low blow.
Do you think LeAnn was in the wrong?

GAINESVILLE, FL — A new club in Tioga, FL, increases the Gainesville (FL) Health & Fitness Center club numbers to three. Joe Cirulli, owner of Gainesville Health & Fitness Center, opened the 25,000-square-foot, two-level, interior fit-out as a co-ed fitness center that combines traditional physical fitness programs with a medical spa.
The facility features multiple group fitness classes, cardiovascular areas, child care, weight training, locker rooms, and lounge and support spaces for administrative functions.
The design of the new facility compliments the original club but maintains a distinct look, says Rudy Fabiano, design director at Fabiano Designs and architect of the club. The design strategy was to develop an overall concept for the chain rather than copy each club design and repeat it, says Fabiano.
"We find that members respond better when the club has its own distinct look," Fabiano says. "The original club is sportier and has a broader range of demographics. The Tioga Center has a modern and more feminine feel, which compliments the original club."

146 people are now better equipped to fight SCAMS and FRAUD in North Yorkshire
Between 6th - 10th February 2017 Julia Mulligan, supported the Friends Against Scams initiative by running 14 Friends Against Scams awareness sessions and SCAMchampion training in Harrogate, York and Scarborough in North Yorkshire.
Attendees included people from councils, NHS, fire service, police and private care organisations along with individuals who just wanted to become more scam aware.
By the end of the week, North Yorkshire had recruited:
- 146 Friends Against Scams
- 104 SCAMchampions, and
- 2 SCAMbassadors
With their new skills, the 104 SCAMchampions will now go back to their communities, looking out for the tell tail signs of victims and raising awareness amongst their colleagues and the people they care for.
Police and Crime Commissioner Julia Mulligan and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Will Naylor signed up as SCAMbassadors and have pledged to continue to help raise awareness scams and promote the Friends Against Scams initiative in North Yorkshire.
Julia Mulligan said:
"Scams and fraud was one of the top five priorities mentioned by people during the consultation for my police and crime plan so I am really pleased to be able to provide this opportunity and raise awareness of this blight on our communities.
"These types of crime don't only have a devastating emotional effect on their victims but they also take away their life long savings and security for the future.
"I want to thank everyone who came along and took part and also to Friends Against Scams for running these events for us in North Yorkshire."
Louise Baxter, Team Manager at the National Trading Standards Scams Team, said:
"I am really pleased that people in North Yorkshire are getting involved in the Friends Against Scams campaign and helping to 'Take a Stand Against Scams'.
"This campaign is about protecting our communities, particularly people in vulnerable situations who are deliberately targeted by criminals, and it is great to see that people in North Yorkshire want to do exactly that.
"We hope that people will be able to take what they have learnt at the Friends Against Scams awareness session and turn knowledge into action in their community.
Thank you

Vinokourov Serves Scottish Crow for Dinner
"...Vinokourov is at the other end of the scale. He'll never be the same rider again, and he doesn't treat the peloton with respect, so he doesn't get treated with respect back. There's zero respect for Vinokourov in the peloton."
As for the part about "zero respect," we can only guess that Millar must have meant to say that some subset of the ProTour peloton in which he competes (alongside Vino') isn't particularly fond of him - perhaps an English-speaking group? Because there is at least one rider who found no fault with Vinokourov's win: Alberto Contador, his teammate and the reigning Tour de France champion. He had this to say at the finish of Liège:
"I saw that Vino was very strong and was very touched listening to how they cheered him on the radio. When I heard that he had won, I was very happy."
Hardly the words of a man with zero respect for his colleague.
It does, however, seem that David Millar should just "shut up and ride." Slagging off Vinokourov - when you yourself were guilty of the same transgressions - conveys the image of a whiny, preachy, jealous tool. A description that we are loathe to apply to the man who's personal website once featured the URL itsmillartime.com.
David, we know you're reading this, so please - focus less on bitching about Vino' and more on your own training and racing and developing your younger teammates into drug-free, champion cyclists - and soon one of them might get to enjoy his own Classic podium moment...

"It does, however, seem that David Millar should just "shut up and ride." Slagging off Vinokourov - when you yourself were guilty of the same transgressions"ReplyDelete
Most ironic statement so far this week.
Ahh jeez, Joe. Why do you have to pick on one of my fave riders, Millar?ReplyDelete
Did anyone see the crap piece that VeloNews ran attacking Vino, too? If not, here is the link:ReplyDelete
When I saw it I almost barfed. I held down the urge to puke, and instead scratched-out this comment:
"If it's proven that he isn't cheating"????
So now the presumption is one of guilt - and it's the rider's responsibility to prove to the satisfaction of John Wilcockson that they're not cheating? Please.
If John Wilcockson can support Lance Armstrong and apparently accept the fact that the EPO found in his frozen urine samples, and the back-dated TUE for corticosteroid-use don't constitute cheating, then certainly Vino's win in 2010 L-B-L in the absence of *any* evidence of doping is proof enough that he is the legitimate race winner.
VeloNews should examine its own bias and consider why it ran a sensationalized headline like the one accompanying this article. "Vinokourov's unpopular victory"? Unpopular with whom? My friends and I are are THRILLED that Vino won, and think that journalists should go back to reporting the news, and not editorializing. J.W. and co. would do well to realize that they are NOT the arbiters of guilt or innocence in cycling. Until proven otherwise, Vino is CLEAN, not doped, and to suggest otherwise is to perpetuate a mentality that is foul and blatantly biased - namely that random people like John Wilcockson can imply that some riders who have not been proven to be doping in the here and the now are in fact probably guilty of doping, while others - despite overwhelming circumstantial evidence linking them to cheating - are actually clean."
Great post, Pappillon, though you should give credit to the original photographers whose images you use - just a suggestion.
HAHAHA Matt! Touché!!!! But I wasn't picking on David (who was nice enough to show his personal support when I was going through the difficult process of confessing). Rather, I'm encouraging him not to pick on Vino! [not like Vino can't take care of himself though, right?]ReplyDelete
There are several English-speaking riders in the peloton right now - Wiggins, Cav, Taylor Phinney, and, alas, David Millar - who must think it fashionable to condemn some non-English speaking riders who've doped, served sanctions and are making comebacks (Riccò, Vino, Sella). I'm sorry, but that's a party foul. Attacking those three does nothing to enhance the credibility of the attackers, and only makes them seem bitter.
Attack the UCI or WADA or CONI or the Kazakh federation...but let your fellow riders get on with riding. You don't hear Armstrong Vino-bashing (ick - I can't believe I just cited L.A. as an example of behavior I'd encourage in others! lol ;).
Hugh, I think I know where you're coming from, but even I'm not crazy enough to try to compare myself to Millar and Vino in this situation.ReplyDelete

Travis County Probate Court No. 1 is rejecting affidavits in lieu of inventory filed by non-lawyer personal representatives pursuant to Texas Probate Code Section 250 unless they also include the signature of the attorney of record. Judge Guy Herman believes that the filing of an affidavit by a non-lawyer personal representative constitutes the unauthorized practice of law. He also thinks that there is a strong policy argument for requiring the attorney of record to sign since it lets the court know that the attorney is aware of the filing and is still involved in the administration.
In Steele v. McDonald, 202 S.W.3d 926 (Tex. App. -- Waco 2006), the court held that a non-lawyer may not appear pro se in the capacity as an estate's independent executor. The court reasoned that, since the executor is acting in a representative capacity, appearing pro se would constitute the unauthorized practice of law. A Texas court also has prohibited a non-lawyer trustee from appearing in a lawsuit in his representative capacity. In re Guetersloh, 326 S.W.3d 737 (Tex. App. -- Amarillo 2006).
The Probate Code requires personal representatives to file affidavits of compliance with Section 128A and a sworn inventory or affidavit in lieu thereof. Most attorneys routinely sign the inventory. However, there is nothing in Section 128A or Section 250 requiring attorneys to sign the inventory or those affidavits. I do not think filing a statutorily-required factual statement constitutes practicing law, so I do not think the attorney's signature should be required. The forms for Section 128A affidavit and affidavit in lieu of inventory I prepared and put on this website have no place for the attorney to sign.
Still, those of us who practice in Travis County need to comply with Judge Herman's requirements. Also, Judge Herman's practices often influence the practice in other Texas courts. Therefore, I have added to the website an affidavit in lieu of inventory form with a place for the attorney to sign and an affidavit of compliance with Section 128A form with a place for the attorney to sign. Adding the attorney's signature is easy, so that will be my practice from now on.

Captain's ReportDoral Monticello
By Capt. Rob Smith
I travelled north again to test Doral's new line up. This time I was very close to the plant, in fact I was able to tour the plant and have a video for you about it. I tested on a fresh water river in Shawinigan, Canada and enjoyed every minute of it. I tested this model a few years back, but this time I was going to test two Monticellos. One had the Yanmar 6BY diesel package and the other had the MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI. The Monticello is a pocket cruiser with both the room and power to enjoy water sports.
From the bow, Doral hasn't changed much over the past models. Heavy duty 316 grade stainless steel bow rails and optional life lines often required for the European market were on both test boats. The anchor roller was also heavy duty stainless. The anchor package and a windlass are options you can add on. You can also add sun pads on the deck with integrated pillows for grabbing some rays.At the Stern
Doral's Monticello has an integrated swim platform with 4-step swim ladder and port side transom door entry. One test boat had the optional NUTeak PVC inserts on the swim platform and in the cockpit. The standard cockpit covering is a teak and holly pattern deluxe carpet with Aquatrac non-skid. You can't go wrong with either. The NUTeak cleans readily and, of course, the carpet can be removed for cleanup. I prefer the NUTeak. I don't like having to mess around with carpet, loose snaps and lining up the table cut out.
The Monticello does have side decks, but they are very narrow, so you will use the center windshield opening to go forward to the bow. Doral makes handling docking lines simple with enough cleats right where you need them. They also have two pull-up cleats on the swim platform that are quite handy.Cockpit Features
Just inside the transom door on the port side is a cockpit sink and storage center to rinse off after taking a dip or before enjoying a snack. Seating wraps around from the stern and across the starboard side. The Monticello has Doral's signature sliding aft bench that adds about one seat width along the starboard side when extended. You can add a fiberglass or wood cockpit table. I prefer to keep the space open and enjoy the legroom. The engine hatches open easily and inside you have plenty of room for the single engine power packages Doral offers. You can pick from among 14 different engines from Volvo Penta, MerCruiser, Cummins MerCruiser, and now Yanmar. A 3kW Westerbeke generator option is available for those intending to use their cruiser for overnights.
Going forward to the helm deck area of the single level cockpit, the port side passenger lounger has a built in armrest and was rather comfortable, even for my 6' frame. All cockpit seating is built by hand in the Doral factory. Seat bottoms are composite so you don't have to worry about rot, and the upholstery is heavy duty, easy to clean and UV resistant. Optionally, you can choose Cabriolet style upholstery in the cockpit.
If you are boating in areas with low bridges, you may also want to add the optional electric fiberglass retractable arch that takes all the work out of bringing it down for bridges or reducing height when towing.At the Helm
Doral did a pretty good job at the helm as far as ergonomics. The bench seat was comfortable and had a bolster for stand up driving and sitting back as you climb up on plane. The wiper and motor create an obstruction in my view, so I would like to see that modified and maybe put the motor at the bottom with a large wiper that is more useful. Dash reflection was limited to the companionway and passenger side dash tops that were bright fiberglass. Instrumentation was laid out for the driver's easy scan. Doral does offer some additional space in the dash for personal options. The switches are all together with a bright red horn button that is easy to pick out. The wheel is mahogany with precision Teleflex tilt steering. Doral uses Teleflex Extreme control cables on the throttle and shift for smooth action. Trim tabs are standard.Below Decks
The companionway door is a green acrylic sliding door that allows natural light to supplement light coming through the hatches. The galley cabinets have an anthracite granite aspect counter top. Appliances include a standard refrigerator, stainless steel microwave oven, and electric cook top. The head has a full fiberglass liner. The vanity has a matching counter top to the galley and Doral now uses the Vacuflush toilet in the Monticello. Doral also makes all their interior seating with the same care as the exterior seating. The dinette seat converts to a berth. A TV/DVD is optional to supplement the stereo system onboard. The mid cabin has a double bed and privacy curtain.Specs
Doral's Monticello is 25'4" length overall with 28'3" length overall with the extended swim platform. Her beam is 8'6". She weighs approximately 6400 lbs., carries 65 gallons of fuel, and has a freshwater capacity of 30 gallons. Cabin headroom is about 5'10" maximum.Performance and Ride
I tested on a fresh water river in Canada near the plant. The load was heavier on the Yanmar version and the temperature was about 14 degrees warmer. With Yanmar's 260 hp 6BY260Z, the Monticello was up on plane in 8.7 seconds and passed through 30 mph in 15.8 seconds. Her most economical cruising speed was about 28.8 mph for a full tank range of 216 miles. Top speed was clocked at 39.2 mph at 4200 rpm burning 12.9 gph or 3.05 mpg.
With MerCruiser's 300 hp 350 MAG MPI, the Monticello was on plane in 5.1 seconds and up to 30 mph in 11.5 seconds. Her most economical speed was 30.7 mph for a full tank range of 144 miles. Her top speed was 44.2 mph at 5250 rpm burning 20.1 gph or 2.19 mpg.Conclusion
Now with the optional Yanmar engine, the Monticello is likely to gain even more popularity. If you are in the market for an express pocket cruiser, the Monticello certainly has all the features you need and the ability to add options for any of your specific desires.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Doral Monticello (2009-) is 44.2 mph (71.1 kph), burning 20.1 gallons per hour (gph) or 76.08 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Doral Monticello (2009-) is 30.7 mph (49.4 kph), and the boat gets 2.83 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.2 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 166 miles (267.15 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 300-hp MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI.

Shari Mendelson, Light Blue Vessel with Circular Detail, USA, 2017
Shari Mendelson makes handmade sculptures that are constructed out of discarded plastic bottles and inspired by ancient vessels. Her interest lies in the balance between emulating the ancient objects that she loves and creating original sculptures.
Mendelson spends hours studying ancient artifacts across various museums, especially drawing inspiration from collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. While looking at these works, she considers what they were used for, the great civilizations that made them, and what the remaining objects from our time— primarily plastic waste— will communicate about us to future civilizations.
Back in her Brooklyn studio, Mendelson reinterprets these ancient pieces using discarded plastic water, soda, and juice bottles. Mendelson collects, cuts into pieces, and hot-glues or sews the plastic parts into new sculptures. The artist's newest collection of handmade objects are layered, drippy, whimsical forms that serve as unique contemporary relics. At first glance, her work may resemble the glass or ceramic upon which it is modeled, yet upon closer inspection a logo, recycling stamp, or bottle expiration date reveals its actual material. Using recycled trash to make works that reference elegant objects of the past offers Mendelson a space to playfully explore the transformation of form and material while reflecting on issues of history and culture.
Mendelson's vessels reside in various museums, including The Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum in New York, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and The Museum of Old and New Art. Mendelson's newest sculpture commissioned by the RISD Museum entered its permanent collection in 2015

2. End political-party bossism and partisan elections by opening up all of our elections to all New Yorkers. Implement a "top two" primary election system open to all eligible voters, regardless of party, so that every voter can participate. The top two candidates would move on to the general election.
3. Give the state attorney general the power to initiate allegations of public corruption and violations of election, campaign finance and ethics laws.
4. Fully fund the enforcement and oversight functions of state and local boards of election.
5. Demand that county district attorneys exercise their authority to pursue potential violations of election and campaign finance law.
6. Revise the laws to require that commissioners and staff of local boards of election are selected based on merit, not by party chairs and patronage.
All the good and decent public servants we have ought to be leading the charge to ferret out their corrupt colleagues. Most of our elected leaders are worthy of the trust we place in them. If the people see them working together to weed out the criminals in their midst, we can begin to gain back the faith we used to have in our democratic system.

A scene from the short film Milk Crate, by Point Park teaching artist John Rice.
Milk Crate, a short film by Point Park University cinema arts teaching artist John Rice, will screen on Saturday, March 13 at the 2010 Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival in Beverly Hills, Calif. Milk Crate is one of the 26 shorts selected out of 200 submissions. It was originally written and directed by Rice as part of the Pittsburgh Neighborhood Narratives project originated by Kristen Lauth Shaeffer and Point Park cinema and digital arts assistant professor Andrew Halasz.
The film is about the conflict between old-time resident Charlie following the local custom of saving his parking spot with a milk crate and new resident Mohawk not being familiar with the parking protocol. All of this is observed by another resident of the neighborhood, Floral Duster. The dialogue in the film is spoken in multiple languages, with all of the characters assuming they comprehend each other, which creates misunderstandings and tension. The old and new mix it up in this tale told in a changing neighborhood – Pittsburgh's South Side.
Rice says, "I was interested in telling a story about this particular neighborhood I used to live in 25 years ago, using as little dialogue as possible, and having that dialogue spoken in a few different languages where the characters might assume that others know what they are saying. The drama escalates partially due to that assumption being wrong. I did not want subtitles for clarification but wanted to rely on the physical actions of the characters to carry the story. The resolution features another Pittsburgh tradition that may be familiar to others who have lived in tight knit neighborhoods."
Milk Crate was shot one street away from where Rice lived in the early 1980s. The film was originally used as the opening for a compilation of films titled "Greetings From Pittsburgh: Neighborhood Narratives," that was shown over a dozen times to packed houses in the Pittsburgh area and recently aired on WQED's Filmmaker's Corner program.
Milk Crate will screen on Saturday, March 13 at 6 p.m. in The Wilshire Screening Room in Beverly Hills, Calif.

2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
New engines improve the lineup.
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class lineup has been revised and streamlined, but the C-Class remains the most accessible of all Mercedes cars sold in the United States.
The C-Class hatchback coupes and wagons have been eliminated, and only the sedans remain. No problem here, in our view, because the sedans have always represented the C-Class best. Moreover, the 2006 C-Class is powered by an all-new line of V6 engines, with more horsepower and more advanced technology than before. The luxury models feature a high-tech seven-speed automatic transmission, and the C350 Luxury sedan has the classic Mercedes balance of ride quality and handling. The line also includes sport models for those who want a sportier driving experience, and that's what Mercedes has been emphasizing in its advertising.
Inside, the C-Class cars look and feel like a Mercedes-Benz, with firm, supportive seats and mostly high-quality materials. The C-Class delivers Mercedes engineering and safety technology, with optional all-wheel-drive that will improve traction in wet or wintry conditions.
In short, the C-Class brings the three-pointed Mercedes star to the rest of us, with sedans starting below $30,000, or about the same price as a loaded Honda Accord or Toyota Camry.
New engines for 2006 complement the substantial C-Class updates made just a year ago. Mercedes redesigned the C-Class interior for 2005, freshened the exterior styling and further distinguished the sport models from the standard luxury sedans. A new six-speed manual transmission greatly improved shift action. New paint technology imbeds microscopic ceramic flakes in the clear coat finish, increasing its resistance to chipping and degradation over time.
At the top of the C-Class line, Mercedes introduced the new C55 AMG, an extreme sports sedan that can knock your socks off when you floor the accelerator then pull them back up when you hit the brakes. (Or is it the other way around?)
Mercedes C-Class sales have increased four fold over the past decade, and it doesn't take a degree in marketing to understand why. For those seeking Mercedes-Benz engineering, design strengths and mystique in a mainstream sedan, it doesn't get any easier than the C-Class.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class lineup has been simplified for 2006, thanks to the elimination of several models. The station wagons and three-door coupes are history. All that remain are four-door sedans, and most are powered by an all-new V6. This engine is Mercedes' first dual overhead cam V6, with the latest control technology and fully variable valve timing.
Most of the C-Class is divided into Sport and Luxury models. The Sport models have firmer suspensions, lower ride height and more powerful brakes than the Luxury models. The Sport sedans also have a thick, three-spoke steering wheel, more thickly bolstered front seats and aluminum trim, and are trimmed with aggressive lower body cladding previously reserved for expensive AMG models.
The least-expensive C-Class car is the C230 Sport sedan ($29,200). The C230 is powered by a 2.5-liter version of the new V6, generating 201 horsepower (considerably more than the least powerful C-Class in 2005). It comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission and 17-inch wheels with high-performance tires.
Standard equipment on the C230 Sport sedan includes dual-zone automatic climate control with interior air filtration, leather-faced seats with 10-way power adjustment for driver and front passenger, cruise control, tilt and telescopic steering wheel with redundant audio controls, one-touch power windows and automatic headlamps.
The C280 Luxury sedan ($32,950) comes with the same comfort and convenience items included in the C230. The primary difference is the C280's engine: a 3.0-liter version of the new V6 rated at 228 horsepower. The C280 also comes standard with the industry's first seven-speed automatic transmission, 16-inch wheels and all-season tires, and wood interior trim rather than aluminum.
The C350 Sport sedan ($37,550) and C350 Luxury sedan ($38,150) are both powered by a 3.5-liter V6 generating 268 horsepower. The Sport gets the six-speed manual and larger performance tires; the Luxury version gets the seven-speed automatic and all-season tires. Both add position memory for the seats and mirrors.
Sport models can be equipped with the seven-speed automatic transmission as an option ($1,410). All-wheel drive, which Mercedes calls 4MATIC ($1,800), is available on the C280 and C350 Luxury sedans; 4MATIC comes packaged with heated front seats.
Options for C-Class models include the Sunroof Package ($1,790), which includes a power sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a universal garage-door. The DVD Navigation system ($2,200) includes a stereo upgrade. Individually priced options include a CD changer ($420), heated front seats ($680), and Tele Aid emergency communications hardware ($820).
The limited-production C55 AMG sedan ($54,450) tops the C-Class line. Powered by a hand-built 5.5-liter V8 rated at 362 horsepower. The C55's Speed Shift five-speed automatic, brakes and suspension are improved to match its prodigious horsepower.
Safety technology is a key component of the Mercedes brand, and every C-Class is equipped with world-class safety features. Among them: Active front head restraints. In the event of a rear collision exceeding the system's deployment threshold, the front head restraints move forward nearly two inches and upward by more than an inch, helping to support the head and reduce whiplash injuries. The C-Class has side-impact airbags for front passengers as well as curtain-style head-protection airbags for front and rear passengers. Rear passenger side-impact airbags ($385) are optional.
The C-Class cars look like a Mercedes-Benz should and just about everyone will quickly identify them as such. All C-Class cars sport the traditional Mercedes three-pointed star as a standup hood ornament, but even without that they'd be immediately identifiable. The C-Class shares styling themes with the larger E-Class and S-Class cars, but retains a tight look all its own. Aerodynamically, the C-Class cars are among the most efficient in the Mercedes-Benz family. The C-Class boasts a drag coefficient of 0.27, which helps minimize wind noise and improves fuel efficiency.
Distinguishing between Sport and Luxury versions of the 2006 C-Class is easy. The Sport sedans have a more aggressive looking front air dam and sculpted lower cladding previously used only on Mercedes' exotic AMG models. The Sport sedans are further distinguished by a unique grille with three horizontal bars, darker, blue-tinted glass and larger 17-inch wheels.
The styling for all C-Class models was freshened for 2005. The changes were subtle and we're not sure how many people actually noticed. Revised styling cues included wider set quad-ovoid headlights, more pronounced fender flares and revised taillights.
The C-Class sedans are the same length as the BMW 3 Series cars, but several inches narrower, making it easier to fit them into tight garage spaces.
The C55 AMG is another beast altogether. Its body work from the windshield pillars forward was borrowed from Mercedes' larger CLK coupe in order to widen the front track and make room for a big V8 engine. From the rear, the C55 is dominated by a two pairs of chromed, oversize exhaust tips. Also noticeable from the rear is its extra-wide 18-inch alloy wheels and tires.
The C-Class interior looks like the inside of a Mercedes-Benz should, and for the most part it feels that way, too. A model re-alignment for 2006 has increased the level of luxury in the least expensive models. Fabric upholstery and manually operated seats can no longer be found in the C-Class line.
Any of the seats are very good: neither so hard that they numb the backside nor so soft that they leave occupants tired or aching. The seats in the standard luxury models are more traditional, perhaps richer in appearance, than those in the sport models. By comparison, the seats in the sport models look stark, but provide significantly more side bolstering for spirited driving. Adjustable lumbar support is now standard, meaning more comfort for the lower back. The C55 AMG has its own special sport seats and premium leather upholstery.
The C-Class got a thorough interior re-do for the 2005 model year so the 2006 models benefit from that. The dashboard, instruments and seats were redesigned, and materials were revised throughout. The instrument cluster now features four gauges, with a chromed-ringed tachometer and speedometer of identical size sitting front and center. To the left and right of these are smaller fuel and temperature gauges. In the middle sits an LCD display with various system and trip functions. Fashioned in the mold of the larger Mercedes E-Class, the instrument cluster is deeply hooded and virtually eliminates glare on the dials. The backlit script is clear and easy to read.
We like the center stack, which looks more modern than before. Audio controls are now located in what we consider the optimal spot: above the climate control switches, which sit at the bottom of the stack. Both audio and climate knobs are large and easy to locate. The lack of some of the complicated systems found on more expensive Mercedes models is, frankly, a welcome relief.
The switchgear is, for the most part, easy to use and understand. The stalk controls have a beefy feel with positive detents. Redundant buttons on the steering wheel let the driver operate the audio and telephone functions without removing a hand from the wheel. The stalk-mounted cruise control continues to be an annoyance, however. It's also easy to engage the cruise control by mistake when trying to use the turn signals, a complaint we have with every modern Mercedes that comes to mind.
Lighting inside is effective, with good illumination for entry in the dark and excellent map lights for reading. The C-Class glovebox is a good size, unless you order the CD changer, in which case you lose most of its storage space. You'll still have the center console and door pockets, but we'd like more places to stash stuff. At least they've added a pop-up cupholder in the center console.
In general, the C-Class sedans are trimmed with good-quality interior materials, but there are some exceptions. Some of the hard plastics don't match Mercedes' best. The sport sedans use aluminum trim throughout the cabin, while the luxury sedans use wood.
The rear seat offers generous space and comfort. It's installed theater style, and sits slightly higher than those in front, giving back-seat passengers a better view forward without significantly compromising head room. Indeed, the spacious rear seats are one of the strengths of the C-Class. The optional power sunshade for the rear glass reinforces the feeling you're in a Benz.
The trunk is a good size for a car this size, offering 12.2 cubic feet of cargo space. An optional split-folding rear seat expands cargo capacity.
Driving Impression
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedans have been improved across the board, thanks to a new family of V6 engines.
The least powerful of the new C-Class engines, the 2.5-liter V6 in the C230 Sport sedan, rated at 201 horsepower, offers more power than the supercharged four-cylinder engine it replaces. As important, it is far smoother at all speeds and generally less course in feel, sound or the amount of vibration it generates.
The 228-hp 3.0-liter V6 in the C280 Luxury sedan is much more powerful and satisfying than the anemic 2.6-liter V6 in the 2005 C240 (previously the best selling C-Class).
Even the biggest V6, which was our favorite engine on the 2005 models, is much better for 2006. The 3.5-liter V6 in the C350 generates 268 horsepower, 20 percent more than the 3.2 in the 2005 C320, which improves acceleration performance considerably. Matched with either the six-speed manual or the high-tech seven-speed automatic, the new engine makes the C350 more responsive than the 2005 C320. The 3.5-liter V6 has fully variable valve timing to deliver an impressive amount of torque from idle all the way to the redline. The C350 responds more immediately than the C320, no matter how fast it's already traveling when the driver presses the accelerator. The new engine is also noticeably smoother, particularly at high rpm. And thanks the seven-speed automatic, the improved performance comes without a corresponding decrease in fuel mileage.
All of the C-Class cars offer nice steering, effective brakes and a good balance between ride and handling. Before choosing between a Luxury or Sport model, C-Class buyers should carefully consider whether a smooth ride or sharper handling is preferred because the trade-off between comfort and response changes with the model. The Sport models are more firmly sprung than the standard Luxury models.
The Luxury models most closely replicate traditional Mercedes ride quality. Their ride is almost cushy, but it's well damped, so there's no floaty, sea-craft feeling over dips in the road. The Luxury models won't wilt if you push them a bit, but they're never stiff. We think the Luxury models best suit the tastes of most buyers and were surprised when a spokesperson for Mercedes told us the Sport models are expected to comprise the larger share of the C-Class volume.
The Sport models are livelier and turn into corners more responsively. The nicely weighted power steering, sports seats and beefy steering wheel all contribute to a feeling of better control. Indeed, if you enjoy spirited driving, the C230 Sport sedan may be the most enjoyable C-Class yet (short of the AMG). It's a bit less nose heavy and bit more spry than the C350 Sport, and its revised six-speed manual transmission contributes considerably to the fun.
All C-Class models are quiet inside, even when blasting along at 80 mph. These sedans are aerodynamically slippery cars, and very little wind noise penetrates the cabin.
As mentioned, the C-Class offers a choice of transmissions. The seven-speed automatic that comes on the C280 and C350 Luxury sedans is superior to five-speed automatics that come on most cars (to say nothing of an old-fashioned four-speed automatic). With more gears, it offers better acceleration performance and responsiveness around town as well as enhanced fuel efficiency. Gear changes are barely noticeable in normal driving, especially in the higher gears. This transmission allows significantly quicker acceleration for highway passing situations, and it doesn't have to go through every gear. Step on the gas and the transmission will skip down to the appropriate gear, switching from seventh to fifth, for example, and from there directly to third, meaning two downshifts instead of four.
As for the manual transmission, Mercedes has lowered the ratio for first gear for quicker acceleration off the line, but kept an overdrive sixth gear for quiet, low-rev highway cruising and be.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class delivers Mercedes engineering, design and safety features starting at the price of loaded mass-market, midsize sedans. The good things behind the Mercedes brand get no more accessible than they are in the C-Class. For 2006, a new line of variable-valve-timing V6 engines improves the C-Class across to board. The C230 Sport sedan with six-speed manual transmission may be the most fun of all. The new seven-speed automatic in the C280 and C350 luxury sedans is ultra responsive. The C350 may represent the best of the line, but can easily surpass $40,000 and diminish some of the appeal in the C-Class's accessibility. The C55 AMG is strictly for the serious enthusiast.

Sandra Cantey, a master gardener who designed the gardens at Home, Sweet Home in East Hampton in the 1970s and was also involved in a number of other village activities, died at Southampton Hospital on Dec. 28 after a long illness. She was 74.
As a member of the Ladies Village Improvement Society, Ms. Cantey had been a chairwoman of the summer fair and of the Nature Trail committee. Other members remarked on her "deep love for the trail." She remained involved in the society until recently. She was also a lay minister at St. Luke's Church and made numerous hospital visits to comfort the sick and dying. She served at one time on the East Hampton Village Design Review Board.
In the 1970s, Ms. Cantey obtained a degree in horticulture from the Cornell Cooperative Extension in Riverhead. She had an expansive organic vegetable garden and also wrote a gardening column for The East Hampton Star, in addition to her work at Home, Sweet Home.
Born in Austin, Texas on July 3, 1938, to Emory Ambler Cantey and the former Gladys Aileen Westbrook, Ms. Cantey's family traced their roots in America to the 1600s and the earliest founders of the Carolina Colony. Following the Civil War, they moved west to Fort Worth, Tex.
Ms. Cantey grew up in Fort Worth, where she graduated from Arlington Heights High School. She was a "speed reader with near perfect memory," wrote her son, Phelan Wolf of Amagansett. She enjoyed horseback riding and performed with a local theater company called the Reeders School.
After receiving a bachelor's degree in English literature at Vassar College and a master's in psychology from New York University, Ms. Cantey spent a year at the Southern Methodist University Law School before traveling to Europe, principally France, with David Addickes, an American painter whom she eventually married. The couple lived in Paris and Antibes, where she learned to speak the language and prepare French cuisine.
Following her divorce from Mr. Addickes, Ms. Cantey met Peter Wolf, a doctoral student, in Paris. The two married and moved to Manhattan, raising their children, Phelan and Alexis, there and at a summer house in Springs.
Ms. Cantey was a guidance counselor at Brooklyn College, and became active in the Vietnam War peace movement. In the mid-1970s, she and the children moved to their Springs house full time, while Mr. Wolf continued to work in New York.
The marriage ended in divorce, and Ms. Cantey was briefly married to a high school sweetheart, while splitting her time between East Hampton and Fort Worth. She lived mainly in East Hampton for the past 10 years.
In addition to her son, and her daughter, Alexis Wolf of Pittsboro, N.C., Ms. Cantey is survived by four grandchildren. A funeral was held on Friday at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Hampton. Her ashes were buried in the St. Luke's Memorial Garden.

By Jack Hough
Drug stocks offer an opportunity for investors in the wake of Thursday's Supreme Court decision upholding much of the president's health-care plan. They remain priced at sharp discounts to the broad market, and many of these companies stand more to gain than lose from the changes.
On one hand, the industry will have to pay an estimated $80 billion in fees and rebates over a decade to help pay for the plan. That's a vast sum, but it's dwarfed by the money drug companies make.
For the top six drug makers alone, assuming their revenues don't grow at all over the next decade, the fees would amount to about 3% of revenues.
Wall Street expects drug revenues to decline in the near term, as patents expire on key drugs. Pfizer (PFE) is forecast to bring in revenues of $59.3 billion in 2014, down from $67.4 billion last year. For Merck, projected 2014 revenues are $46.5 billion, down from $48.0 billion last year.
But after 2014, revenues for most big drug makers are projected to resume growing. Companies launch new blockbuster drugs by then, but the larger opportunity lays with the tens of millions of Americans who will be prodded toward buying health insurance.
Anyone who has paid a $20 copay on a bottle of pills that would otherwise cost $200 knows that the insured are more likely to buy prescription pills than the uninsured.
Some companies, like Merck, are expected to return to today's level of revenues within two years of the law taking effect. Others, like Pfizer, will lose such a large chunk of revenues from patent expirations on key drugs (in its case, Lipitor for cholesterol) that revenues are expected to take longer to bounce back.
But this "patent cliff" has long been discounted into drug stock valuations. Merck (MRK) sells for 10.7 times this year's earnings forecast; Pfizer, 10.3 times; Eli Lilly, 13 times and Novartis, 10.4 times. The median for companies in the S&P 500 index is 15 times current-fiscal-year earnings forecasts.
One key for investors is that the costs imposed on drug companies from the new health-care law have already begun. The revenues won't turn up until after 2014. That leaves these companies looking less attractive to investors now than they might in several years.
As a result, with share prices low, dividend yields are plump. Eli Lilly shares yield 4.7%; Pfizer 3.9%; Merck 4.1% and Novartis 4.5%. Two things investors have rushed into lately are companies that make staple goods, demand for which tends to hold up even in a down economy, and stocks with high dividend yields, because bond yields are near record lows. Drug stocks fulfill both of these demands, and yet remain relatively unloved.
That means buyers who scoop up these shares now stand to be rewarded with high income right away, and potential for growth in future years, once these companies learn to adapt to, and profit from, the new health care rules.
Mutual fund investors may prefer to stick with an exchange-traded fund that tracks a drug stock index. But yields on these are much lower, partly because of fees, but mostly because these funds have plenty of exposure to smaller drug companies that pay little or nothing in dividends.
The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Pharmaceuticals Index Fund (IHE) costs 0.47% a year and yields 1.4%. SPDR S&P Pharmaceuticals ETF, which weights companies equally, giving investors even more exposure to small firms, costs 0.35% a year and has a dividend yield of 0.8%.

A whole grain consists of 4 main parts, which include the husk (hull), bran, germ (embryo), and endosperm. The husk or hull is the outer covering that millers remove before processing grain into foods or food ingredients. All types of grains with the husk removed are referred to as whole grains.
The bran consists of the layers under the husk that protect the inner substance of the grain kernel. Bran layers contain high levels of nutrients, such as fiber, vitamins and minerals.
The germ, which is also referred to as the embryo, is the material located at the bottom center of the kernel just above the stalk and is surrounded by the layers of bran wrapped around it. Since the germ is very perishable, turning rancid if the kernel is broken open, it is quickly removed and not ground into flour as the meal is processed.
Endosperm makes up the majority of the substance in a kernel of grain and consists primarily of starchy carbohydrates. It surrounds the germ and provides nourishment to the germ as the kernel grows.
