Cutting edge design and pure functionality, the recessed dome light is bright, stylish and long overdue! We are taking orders TODAY!! (Choose iLight Option from drop down menu)
The Mustang convertible has been a very popular vehicle for many decades. In most cases, however, the front of the Mustang tends to make more of an impression than the side profile because a convertible lacks definition when the top is down. Enhance the flat side profile of your Mustang convertible with the Classic Light Bar and give your car a sportier look that is sure to catch a whole lot of attention! Add the interior Dome Light option to your LightBar order today for only $50!

I installed the carbon fiber version with the light on my 2011 GT500 and it looks amazing. Not too hard to install yourself, just take your time with the instructions.
If you like the look of the first gen Shelby convertibles then this is for you.This item has the New and optional ILight feature.CDC did a professional install at the 50th anniversity event,and this also with the top down gives the car a completely different look.Awesome job CDC.
Product shipped fast and fit well. Prior to purchase all emails were answered fully and detailed - very good customer service. As for the product - Install isn't hard if you take your time and have decent mechanical skills. Instructions were easy to follow and all the necessary parts were included. Overall a very nice product, fit well and looks good on the car.
I bought the new light bar with the ILight built into it. The instructions were very well written and the lights worked correctly the first time I tried them. The bar slipped right into the mounting brackets perfectly. I was really impressed with the quality of this product. Also feels like the light bar has helped tie the body together and it seems a little more ridged now.
I bought my Light Bar in the Spring immediately after buying my 2012 Mustang convertible. The difference in appearance with the top down was astounding and the installation only took two hours thanks to detailed instructions. Every Mustang convertible should come from the factory with one of these!

The school has sent me the orientation schedule and I can start volunteering soon! There are a total of 8-9 days that a teacher has to attend before the semester officially starts. Hmm, that's a few days more than what we need to back home. But most part of the schedule is for teachers to plan the curriculum though I'm not entirely sure what it means. I would know more as the days progress.
Ken and I had been rather lazy in our training for the 1/2 marathon in October. So, this day, we resolved to run a longer distance and thank God for him who will always press me on when I get LAZY.
Lunch for today – Tandoori chicken and zucchini pancakes – a treat after a long run (just 9km). Thankfully, these two dishes are super easy to prepare, without the complicated spices which also means it may not taste as good as the authentic ones? Still, these will suffice.
Tandoori Chicken (Serves 2)
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt/ sour cream
1 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
1/2 tsp ground ginger
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
4 skinless chicken breast halves
1. Preheat the oven to 475F. In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of the yogurt, the garlic, tumeric, ginger, 1 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp pepper. Add the chicken; turn to coat.
2. Transfer the chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breast registers 160F, 25 to 30 minutes.
Extra: Peel an apple; coarsely grate into a medium bowl. Add cilantro and the 1/4cup yogurt; season with salt and pepper. Serve the sauce alongside the chicken, with rice, if desired.
Zucchini Pancakes (makes about 9 small pancakes)
(Source: Heart of the artichoke and other kitchen journeys by David Tanis)
1 large zucchini
1 tsp salt
1 to 2 eggs
1/4 tsp pepper
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano (optional)
Olive oil for frying
1. Grate the zucchini. Toss the grated zucchini with the salt and let it drain in a colander for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, you can go running. Squeeze very fry in a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg with the pepper and scallions. Add the flour, then add the grated zucchini and cheese (if using) and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour olive oil into a cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1/4 inch and heat. Carefully place spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture in the pan, then flatten them to a diameter of about 2 inches. Make only a few pancakes at a time so you don't crowd them, and turn each once, letting them cook for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden. The heat should stay moderate.
4. Serve immediately, or hold in a warm oven until the entire batch is cooked.

Penang Specials #4 – Ais Tingkap or Windows Sherbet at Jalan Tamil, Penang Chowrasta Market
In Penang, if we talk about desserts at Penang Road the attention will be automatically diverted to the Teow Chew Cendol. There are something which not many people knows and located just a few blocks away. The cold drink which I mention is known as Ais Tingkap or better known as Windows Sherbet by Mat Sallehs.
Checkout the faded color sign board on the top right. It does state the word AIS TINGKAP. But the color is almost the same as the windows hence not many people notice it. I know about this place since I am 7 years old where my grandpa brought me here for a cold drink in the evening. His workshop is just 10 minutes motor bike ride away. This business has been pass down for 4 generations since 1930's. The father still able to recognize me and I just feel so comfortable with the drink that they sell.
The name Ais Tingkap originates from the way they sell this drink when they got started. They serve their drink right out from the glass windows and from there they got the name. You see the small space at the back of that blue shirt guy? That was the place it was served out last time. Some Englishman that patron them gave the name Windows Sherbet as the shaved ice has the sherbet look. This drink is ONLY AVAILABLE IN PENANG, MALAYSIA! This STALL ONLY! No other mamak stall, kopitiam or restaurant that sells this.
A Glass Of Ais Tingkap RM1.30
The whole glass of drink may look like an ordinary rose syrup filled with shaved ice and coconut meat. It is not just that. The whole glass got more than that. It has "Pong Dai Hai", basil seeds, coconut meat, coconut water, rose essence and a spray of secret juice which consist of more than 20 ingredients inside. However over the period of modernization, certain herbs are hard to get hence it doesn't taste as good as it use to be. Back in the olden days I can smell the secret juice from the spray from 2 meters away. It was a typical Indian herbs used but heck I care about that. The whole drink has a good cooling effect to human body on a scorching heat day.
The steps below shows how's the ais tingkap were prepared.
Preparing our orders which consist of 12 glasses.
Start of by filling it with shaved ice. Nothing beats this on a hot day.
Putting in the Pong Dai Hai (Getah Anggur)
The right hand side is the basil seed, center ones is the one mixed with rose essence for coloring. No artificial coloring and flavors used in preparing ais tingkap. It is safe to be consumed a lot.
Fresh coconut water added
The secret juice is sprayed into each drink
Fresh coconut meat put on top then stir everything up and serve. Below is a video recorded by www.vkeong.com

I fail to see any relationship between the link you cite below and access to font resources, whether it be embed or read access. There is no mechanism to allow script content to access font data, even by inference (as was used in the image theft example you cite). Further, unlike JS or OpenGL Shader code, fonts do not employ a user defined, turing complete language. I admit it can be effectively argued that TTF 'mort' and 'morx' tables define FSMs, and that a malicious font could be constructed that would put the FSM into a loop, thus potentially creating a DoS risk. Actually, the same applies to OTF 'gsub' and 'gpos', which, due to the chaining mechanism, could also be exploited to create a circular chaining loop. However, these risks are present independently of origin processing. Other than these risks, the only use I can see for same origin in regards to fonts is the protection of font owner IPR, which is clearly in the domain of content protection (CP). I may be missing something here, but I have seen it said here that SO on fonts helps protect end users. But all I see is very weak CP for font owners. Please explain the security risk for CO fonts on end users. G.

This might look like some kind of microscopic organism, but it's actually a high-speed photograph of a nuclear explosion. It was captured less than 1 millisecond after the detonation using a rapatronic camera, which is capable of exposure times as brief as 10 nanoseconds (one nanosecond is one billionth of a second).
The photograph was shot from roughly 7 miles away during the Tumbler-Snapper tests in Nevada (1952). The fireball is roughly 20 meters in diameter, and three times hotter than the surface of the sun.
Pure evil indeed!

David Axtell is an award winning illustrator. His illustrations for the Macmillan's children's book Fruits (Valerie Blooms' Caribbean poem) won the Smarties Book Prize Bronze Medal in 1997.
Born in Oxford in 1970 David completed an illustration course at Falmouth School of Art and began working freelance for several major publishing houses.
His work as an illustrator included work for clients such as Puffin Books, Macmillan, HarperCollins and Mojo magazine. He was twice a bronze medal winner in the Nestle Smarties Book Award and runner-up in the BFC Mother Goose Award in 1988 as the most exciting newcomer to children's picture books. David is still regularly commissioned for his illustration work.
As well as his illustrational work, David has had a lifelong love of painting and now has an enviable reputation in Cornwall and beyond. With an interest in the relationship and interaction of people and the sea, David searches for an intriguing narrative that pulls the viewer in and makes us feel we've caught a glimpse of his figures in an unguarded moment. In his calm, measured work we are reminded of the quiet solitude and an Edward Hopper, whilst the detailed narrative and love of the landscape of Cornwall is reminiscent of the artists of the Newlyn School.

This was delicious. I added a little olive oil mayo with basil and sauteed the mushrooms first. Even my picky kids gobbled this right up!
Simple, fresh taste; easy to adjust flavors for any palate. This recipe makes enough for four SMALL sandwhiches. Double the ingredients if you are using full-sized bread or want a very hearty ...

What is Vintage? Essentially, 'vintage' is just another name for second-hand clothing, but it can be expensive. Antique flapper dresses from the 1920s and original Raoul Dufy designs are gorgeous, but discovering unique pieces doesn't have to be expensive.
Socially Responsible Shopping Thrifting and vintage shopping is also a great way to recycle. With so many beautiful fashions in thrift and vintage shops you may be able to find what you need and in essence recycle a well-made garment. If the current trends aren't your taste, you may find past looks in great condition. If you are like me, and dress to express yourself, not follow the trends to the letter, then I think you'll be very happy. Many thrift shops benefit charities too, so in some cases just by shopping, you'll be doing a good deed. Just get out there and look!

Precision Fabrication Plus RDP Xtreme GM Solid Axle Swap Kit
Improved Capability, Reliability, and Looks For GM HDs
Many folks would argue that General Motors builds some of the best eight-lug trucks on the market. They are strong, comfortable, and built to handle the toughest work you can throw at them. However, when it comes time to customize your ride, the Silverado and Sierra HDs have one glaring weakness. The same independent front suspension that provides a superbly comfortable on-road ride can become a big hang-up when more power or larger tires are added.
There are several weak points in the front suspension of GM 2500 and 3500HDs. The relatively small steering tie rods and centerlink are prone to bending, and the pitman and idler arms wear out quickly at the sight of larger tires. The CV axles have proven fairly reliable in most circumstances; however, the center axle disconnect is known for becoming stuck in both the locked and unlocked positions. This can lead to either poor fuel economy or no four-wheel drive. The trucks also become difficult to lift the higher up you go, as giant subframe assemblies must be used to lower the entire front axle and suspension.
Replacing the IFS front suspension with a solid axle, much like Ram and Ford trucks feature as factory-stock, has become increasingly popular for the General Motors trucks over the years, as it eliminates all of these weak points. The biggest issue with this procedure is the amount of custom fabrication it takes to complete the swap. Fortunately, the folks at Precision Fabrication Plus in Sonora, California, have got it figured out.
Founded in 1976 in San Jose, California, Precision Fabrication Plus has made a name for itself as a complete fabrication, machining, and welding outfit servicing a broad audience of aerospace, electronics, mining, medical, and firefighting companies. Seeing a hole in the custom truck market, the company launched its RDP Xtreme brand of products in 2014. The mainstay of the line is the GM IFS Delete kit. Anywhere between 3 and 18 inches of lift are available, and this kit is designed to install with little more than handtools and a tape measure—taking all the complicated fabrication of a typical solid-axle swap out of the equation.
The RDP Xtreme IFS Delete utilizes a five-link coilover suspension, which provides outstanding ride characteristics while maintaining or improving capability, including raising the front axle's gross weight rating. Larger brakes, serviceable ball joints and bushings, manual locking hubs, and fully functional ABS and traction control are just a few of the other benefits the kit provides.
While the kit includes all the necessary hardware and brackets, the customer will need to provide a few parts found on '05 to '15 Ford F-250 and F-350 pickups. The front Dana 60 axle, tie rod, Panhard bar, passenger-side lower drag link, sway bar, and ABS sensor wires all need to be purchased to make the swap complete. The 3-inch kit also needs the Ford's coil springs, while the 12-inch-and-larger kits can omit most of the steering parts. What comes in the package from Precision Fabrication Plus is all the laser-cut and formed brackets, which are fully welded and powdercoated. Fox 2.0 performance shock absorbers and coil springs are utilized for the 3-to 6-inch kits while King 2.5-inch coilovers find a home on the larger kits. Crossover steering, limit straps, stainless steel braided brake lines, and a 1350 series front CV driveshaft round out the kit.
So if you're looking to add a tall lift and big tires to your Silverado or Sierra, a solid-axle swap is the best way to go. The offerings in the RDP Xtreme line are well thought out, easy to install, and overall very complete.
If off-roading is your thing, the RDP IFS Delete will allow for much greater axle articulation than the factory independent suspension.
Solid-axle swaps aren't only for trucks with big lifts. RDP Xtreme kits start at only 3 inches of lift. This is perfect for the person looking for added reliability and front-end capability without the need for a stepladder to get in the driver seat.
With the RDP Xtreme kit, the customer provides the front axle while Precision Fabrication Plus supplies all the hardware and brackets. For those looking to customize their kit, all the parts come powdercoated in the customer's color choice.
All the brackets are laser-cut for a precision fit and fully welded for extreme strength and durability. Installation is simple and can be completed with handtools and a tape measure.
The kit uses the front Dana 60 axle and steering components found under '05-to-'15 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks. This provides ample strength while maintaining easy serviceability.
Larger lift kits feature custom Reid Racing Highsteer steering knuckles to provide seamless on-road handling. Crossover steering is standard on all lift heights.
Manual locking hubs provide the ability to use two-wheel-drive low range, while adding durability compared to the unreliable factory automatic hubs.

Attack On Eyeballs
Pages 1 2 3 NEXT
They're very similar, really.
Don't know the show, so I didn't get it at first. Then I googled the show... and now I think I get it? "Full-blown" is a double entendre, right?
Some are so naked, they don't even have skin!
My advice; don't bother with the show.
Says the person with a Claymore avatar.
I lol'd
OT: How could you not like Kawaii Titan!
The manga is better.
Feth that titan in particular.
Watching the show with someone else... might bug them to watch more when they get home later >.>
The show is slightly above average at best.
You're watching it wrong, go back with the assumption its a black comedy rather than a drama, it's absolutely hilarious.
Titans don't have genitals so don't count as being naked!
As a 40k fan, im rather fond of Attack on Titan for its high casualty rates amongst the cannon fodder and a certain air of mystery and despair as time and time again heroic charges end up in disaster.
Ain't gonna say its best anime evar and wouldnt know enough about anime to make such a call anyways, but i just enjoy how expendable everyone is and taking bets on peoples survival rates. Hopefully it can keep up this vibe.
It seems like years to me since an anime came out that wasn't so pure shonen formula it lacked any defining characteristics. (Nice idiot gains superpower, PG streetfights, follows his own justice and never gives up)
I'm not a huge fan of this anime but it is the first in years that Ive even bothered to remember the name of.
Lots of action, above average animation, and, although the plot is quite mediocre, it has some twists, which makes people think they are watching something deep.
Sure just not the ones we want to see naked. (With that one exception, if you've seen the show you know)
The big question is: Does it count as fan service?
I have heard that about every single popular thing ever.
It is called differing tastes. I don't get why anybody likes COD, but considering it is one of the best selling games ever made, clearly it's good for a lot of people.
Although like the person who got a warning said, the manga is better. If only because it doesn't have an insane amount of filler. If they cut out all of the padding in the anime it'd be as far as the manga by now. They added padding to stop it from catching up too fast, and unfortunately it really shows.
Is she supposed to be squinting out of shock for the gore, or does it have something to do with the naked thing? I'm not sure I get the joke.
the pacing. so sloooooooooooooooow
If I am understanding it correctly:
She sees Erin watch an anime about people in swimsuits.
Kind of like if somebody said "Do the Saw films have people solving puzzles?" and somebody responds "Oh yes, they solve a lot of puzzles". It's true, but a person who hasn't seen the films isn't going to be expecting how exactly they go about doing it.
Eugh, I would watch the show, but the angst really turns off.
Also those cringeworthy lyrics(when translated to English).
The strip would have probably been a bit more topical if it had come out a few weeks ago ;)
For those who haven't seen it it's worth a shot. It's not perfect by any stretch, but its got some decent bits.
I actually burst out laughing for this one.
I'm still suprised no one has written a 40K/Attack on Titan crossover fanfiction yet. I'd love to see Imperial Guard or Space Marines vs Titans.
Best anime of the year, hands down.
I guess that's true, although the manga is quite the success.
I like the premise, and what I've read so far, but the artwork for the manga looks like an absolute train wreck.
Angst! If there's one thing you're aloud to be angsty about, it's your friends/family all getting eaten in front of you.
OT: I think AoT made most people cringe, though more for the sads than bads.
Dude, all Japanese music has cringeworthy lyrics when translated to English. Their songwriting is kinda weird, with all their non-sequitur metaphors and the like.
Not that I find the show that great. I watch because I'm hoping that the show will secretly be all about Nazis.
I'm pretty sure that the 5 stages of grief aren't just composed of:
Also whilst I get that Erin is angry, his constant shouting is just plain annoying.
Also, what kind of guard tells a mother that her child was eaten and that there is no hope for anyone? They're supposed to be guards, goddammit, as in, THE MILITARY.
Guys, shut up for a second about your weeaboo emo giant porn; is Erin wearing a Catbug tee shirt?
What very good taste.
How far did you watch? Please don't think i'm attacking you, i'm just curious as although at the start of the story (when he's a kid) he does do alot of shouting, but after the time skip he doe's a much wider range of shouting. I won't lie, Eren is a loud character (I think AoT is classed as Shounen so just part of the course really) but he does have alot more to yell than just anger.
How the hell did I miss that, I wanna hug Erins chest so much right now... I mean like more than usual... while all up making like 50 babies.
Is the term full frontal nudity still applicable when the nude people have no genitalia/ naughty bits at all?
To be fair, it isn't exactly lacking on the character killing.
Deception, but also not. That's subtle assholery.
Can't believe she fell for that.

Now that new Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) Chief Executive Officer Mark Hurd has taken the first step in his plan to improve the company's uneven performance in recent quarters, he must decide what kind of company HP will become as it approaches its 70th birthday at the end of this decade. Should it become a lean, efficient, commodity-product supplier? Or perhaps an innovative consultant to the major IT departments of the world? Can HP attempt to do both, as it has done since its acquisition of Compaq in 2002, while fending off challenges from Dell Inc. and IBM Corp?
Those questions were not addressed recently, when Hurd unveiled a much-discussed restructuring plan that keeps the company's sales and research and development teams largely intact, while heavily cutting jobs in IT, human resources and finance.
"What you get is a lot of questions like that on a day like today, 'What's coming next?'" Hurd said in an interview after the announcement. "Right now where we really are is focused on making HP the best HP that we're going to make it."
The cuts will improve HP's profitability to the tune of US$1.9 billion in cost savings by its 2007 fiscal year, which begins in late 2006. Hurd also dissolved HP's Customer Solutions Group and moved those salespeople into the product groups they already serve. This is in line with several of Hurd's initial operational moves to give executives and employees focused roles, such as the separation of IT and the company's global supply chain.
Financial analysts and shareholders were initially unsure of what to make of Hurd's actions, sending HP's stock (HPQ) up slightly in early trading on the New York Stock Exchange, but those gains were erased by midafternoon. The company's stock price was $24.56, down $0.36 or 1.4 percent, 45 minutes before the close of trading Tuesday. The financial community might have been hoping for larger cuts, said Cindy Shaw, senior analyst with Moors & Cabot Inc., in a research note distributed Tuesday.
"This whole year has been internally focused for HP. Now they can focus on executing," said Sam Bhavnani, senior analyst with Current Analysis Inc. in San Diego.
Even before Hurd arrived at HP, the Palo Alto, California, company's management team had begun to address the need for cost-savings and improved efficiency, he said.
"There's a perception that I came in and did the work. But I came here and asked questions, and [the management team] would say, 'Interesting question, and here's some work we've done on the subject," Hurd said.
The long-term strategic issues will need to be publicly aired at some point soon, said Charles King, principal analyst with Pund-IT Research Inc. in Hayward, California.
"What seemed to me was missing [Tuesday] was an overarching sense of what the company is doing strategically. This was more a matter of, 'We're cutting staff, getting expenses under control, and moving forward.' But 'where are you going' was pretty much unaddressed," King said.
After Hurd's predecessor Carly Fiorina brought Compaq into the fold, HP became the market-share leader or second-place competitor in a broad array of categories across PCs, servers and printers. But the company has thus far been unable to translate that market share into consistent profits amid multiple structural changes and repeated layoffs.
Fiorina created new groups, combined old groups, and eliminated others in hopes of finding the right mix of people and products. HP's board ultimately decided that she was not the best person for that job, and hired Hurd in late March to focus on creating an "execution-oriented culture" at HP. In the language of business-speak, that basically means a company that gets things done without making mistakes.
HP did not release many details about layoffs within specific product groups during separate conference calls for reporters and analysts Tuesday, making it hard to judge the impact of the layoffs on customers. Hurd promised to leave sales and research largely intact.
"We are one of the few remaining hardware companies that delivers innovation that customers value and we'll continue to invest in compelling products that can be differentiated in the market," Hurd said during the call. And in the interview, he reiterated his commitment to HP's current strategy of offering a broad portfolio of products to businesses and consumers.
However, there will be at least a few cuts to product development groups, and "with the loss of two or three people from the wrong team, you can hobble product development," King said.
What is unavoidable is the impact of additional layoffs on the battered HP workforce. Two HP employees contacted Tuesday said they had not received word of specific cuts within their departments, but they expected to know more within a week.
The company has seen several rounds of layoffs, reorganizations and executive departures since 2002, but many current employees are willing to give Hurd the benefit of the doubt in his early days steering the ship, according to one HP insider.
"Obviously, deep, deep cuts are never going to be that popular," said one HP employee who requested anonymity. Hurd seems to be holding those around him to accountable standards, the employee said, adding, "I think that's what largely made him most popular."
That popularity will be tested as HP moves forward with the cuts, said Gordon Haff, senior analyst with Illuminata Inc. in Nashua, New Hampshire.
"This kind of thing does take a morale and energy toll on a company. Which isn't to say this isn't something he has to do, but it doesn't come without an intangible cost to pair with the tangible savings," Haff said. -- IDG News Service

Difficulty accessing a network shared printer [Win2000]
I am having difficulties accessing the network share to my Windows 2000 printer [printer attatched via USB to Win2000 computer, shared among all computers]. Both computers are behind a router, and are on the same workgroup. My Vista machine did not have any problems accessing this printer or authenticating to Windows 2000, but Windows 7 seems to. The problem is when I go to connect to the PC, I am prompted for a username and password, but upon entering a valid one, it does not connect and comes back as invalid.
I attempted to navigate to the share manually through the "add pritner" device, but this did not work either. [Giving //computername/printer]
Using Windows7 RC1, build 7100 and Windows 2000 SP4. No difficulty sharing or authenticating on the LAN with any other OS
Any assistance would be great =), thank you.

Win7 Enterprise, Win7 x86 (Ult 7600), Win7 x64 Ult 7600, TechNet RTM on AMD x64 (2.8Ghz)
Are you using HomeGroup or A business network group for your setup with the win7 computer. Win7 homegroup only plays well with other win7 computers

Check the Windows 7 Homegroup settings. I think that's where the root of the problem is.
|My System Specs
|28 Jun 2009
I have already left my homegroup, one of the first things I did when I was having problems.
The problem might be that is it is trying to authenticate my credentials [remote username/password] on the machine with the domain as my computer name, meaning it might be searching for a network account of that username for that computer name, instead of logging into a local-user account [account used to log in on that computer normally] like I can on my XP box.
Any other thoughts?
|My System Specs
|01 Jul 2009
Some additional details:
Using Windows7 RC1, build 7100 and Windows 2000 SP4 [as up to date as 2000 can be]. No difficulty sharing or authenticating on the LAN with any other OS, however my XP box does not prompt me for a password to authenticate myself before accessing the network share on the Windows 2000 machine.
All computers have unique computer names.
XP and 2000 can authenticate to the Windows 7 machine.
The Windows 7 machine connects to the XP machine [does not prompt for password], although it does prompt for Windows 2000 trying to connect to Windows XP machine [authenticates fine]. Perhaps I saved the XP password on the Windows 7 box without remembering, or the XP machine let it in without credentials for some other reason.
When typing in \\192.168.1.xxx\printername in Add Printer (under "Select a shared printer by name"), I get 0x0000052e error, which, if my Google skills are still up to snuff, is complaining about a bad username and password; meaning I need to auth myself to use the printer, which I can't seem to be able to do from any Network dialog, using credentials for a local administrative account on that computer.
Any assistance would be great =), thank you.

If you are ever in the Charleston area, The Firefly Distillery (must be 21 to enter their website) is a unique place to visit. It is only 30 miles south of Charleston. It was a beautiful day to visit the Firefly Distillery, we had the windows down and, as always, we were enjoying our music. We all have different tastes in music so we are never listening to the same genre twice. It was nice to see all the beautiful Live Oaks as we got close to the entrance of Firefly Distillery. It was a bit hard to spot the entrance, so when using a GPS you will have to pay close attention. As you enter the Firefly Distillery, there are 11 acres of grapes along a winding dirt road. There was plenty of parking as we arrived. There were plenty of picture opportunities. One being the old Fashioned Out House. We stuck Josh in there to snap a hilarious photo.
The Firefly Vodka tasting was the most fun part of the day. We were welcomed in by the bartender. She made us feel right at home. Firefly was opened right from the families' backyard and is the only Distillery in South Carolina. My favorite flavor during the tasting was the Lemonade Vodka. I think it was Shawn and Nick's favorite also because they ended up buying a bottle each. I ended up saving my money for the wine tasting next door. That way I could bring back a bottle of wine for my girlfriend. It's one of the very few dual Winery and Distilleries. We ended up doing two tastings which made us feel quite tipsy(no driving involved)!
It's a unique and exciting place to visit if you're planning a trip to Charleston, SC. Just don't try to visit in January. They are closed the entire month. All and all, it was a well spent afternoon with my close buddies! I can't wait for our next Tasting! Thank You Firefly Distillery!

So I have now officially owned my 1986 Merkur XR4Ti for an entire year. In this year, I learned how to drive stick, taught myself how to heel-toe rev-match, completed several successful journeys, and was only stranded once. Lets start by talking about some of the work that has gone into the car.
After the initial debacle of getting the car home, un-sticking the front brakes, and rebuilding the cooling fan, (you can read about all of this here) we began making the car as comfortable and reliable of a daily-driver as possible. This included replacing miscellaneous bits and pieces around the car with new ones that actually worked. My dad and I fixed the hood release that only worked when it wanted to, strengthened the rear parcel shelf, remedied a horrible rattle the exhaust system developed, and did basic maintenance under the hood that should be expected when buying an older car.
Pictured: At least I won't lose it in the parking lot
Also on the list is the installation of speakers and a radio. When the car was being built for Top Gear, the idea was to make it functional for TV. This means that after removing the aftermarket stereo system that had been installed previously, replacing it was not the top priority. This means that there was no music for the trek from Chicago to California for filming, much to the annoyance of the driver as I am told.
As the wires were still in tact all we had to do was mount speakers and away we went. While the original radio in the car most likely would've been functional, I decided that listening to Led Zeppelin off my iPhone via Bluetooth was preferable to listening to Blondie via the horrible excuse for classic rock stations we have around here. A new head unit was in order.
There was also an extensive amount of cleaning that took place. It isn't like the car was trashed or anything, Hardigree did his part to keep it pretty tidy, but after 28 odd years a lot of nastiness can accumulate.
Pictured: Sometimes you have to improvise when the seats are out of your car.
My dad also got to try his hand at fiberglass repair as the drivers door card was torn and falling apart in places.
Now comes the part where I reveal the biggest setback and issue with the car to date. The issue occurred early in the year, the car was finally running well and while my manual driving skills were moderate at best at the time, I decided to drive down the road to get some food for a friend and I. This was my first time actually going anywhere in the car, but confidence grew as I approached my destination and the car hadn't caught fire or anything. So there I am, waiting to pull up to the speaker and order my sub-par chicken nuggets. The line was taking a very long time so I put the car in neutral and engaged the E-brake as there was a slight incline. The line moves, I take off the E-brake, put my foot on the brake pedal and it goes straight to the floor. No brakes.
Let me take this paragraph to address the ridiculousness of drive through lanes. These things tend to be fairly narrow with tight turns and traditionally feature very high curbs on either side of the car. I find it amazing that the people that plan these things out still design them the same way even though watching mothers drive their minivans up on the curb while rounding the corner and falling off violently as children and dogs fly around in the back is quickly eclipsing baseball as America's national pastime. The mother is always somehow so engrossed in her phone conversation that she rarely notices the medium sided car accident her children just experienced.
So back to the 'No brakes' thing. With cars both in front and behind and high curbs on either side I had to balance the E-brake and clutch to get through the line until I could find an opening to escape and find a parking spot to await my mother who upon receiving the rescue call didn't even hang up the phone before she was out the door in a panic.
Pictured: My car looked like this for 4 weeks
The weird part comes when my dad and I go back to the parking lot later in the day and find that the brake pedal is solid as ever. He drives the car home and we decide the issue must be a leaky brake master cylinder, so I contact Merkur Midwest and get one ordered. We install the new master cylinder to find that we are getting no fluid at the rear brakes and the pedal will not pump up to give a firm pedal. Another email exchange and another master cylinder arrives days later. This chain of events happens several times before we decide to try a newly rebuilt cylinder straight from Cardone. This takes several weeks to obtain and arrives to yield the same results. After several weeks my car up on jack stands going through something like 5 different cylinders, the problem was uncovered.
Originally, the car was an automatic, but was converted to a 5-speed at the request of Top Gear. The car also has rear disk brakes as opposed to the drums that came standard. For some reason, possibly as a result of these modifications or a mismatched part over the 28 years of the car existing, the brake pedal when not pressed did not have the master cylinder fully decompressed meaning it would not build pressure when pumped. The issue was discovered because when the pedal went soft, I was able to put my foot behind the pedal and pull back toward me and it would pump right up. The addition of a few spacers between the master cylinder and the firewall and the brakes were functioning perfectly. It's always the stupid little things.
As far as performance enhancements go, the car already had a different computer allowing more boost as the automatic cars aren't able to boost as high. In its current state I am running 15 psi with the knock sensor removed. Removing the knock sensor made a world of difference because it's not constantly killing power in fear of the engine knocking. These few little things teamed with the basics like spark plugs and wires and such really make a difference.
This picture was taken at a Merkur Club meet in Chicago in 2009 by me. 11 year old me and my father drove 2 hours in his '88 Merkur XR4Ti to attend the meet where I saw the car that just 5 years later would be sitting in my garage. The black paint was immaculate, its really a shame that it got covered up.
Doug DeMuro bought his Ferrari 360 around the same time I bought my Merkur. While he took to Jalopnik a few weeks back to say that his year of Ferrari ownership was a disappointment, my year of Merkur ownership was certainly not a disappointment. Most of my year was spent making the thing work properly and waiting for snow to melt, but the months afterward more than made up for it.
Pictured: Why don't more cars have dual wings?
While Doug has now sold his Ferrari to move on to bigger and better things, I still have the XR and even bought a winter car to help protect it and slow the spread of rust.
It has been a great year of ownership with many great drives and good times had. I have to thank Matt Hardigree of course for selling me the thing, my dad for letting me buy it and helping me work on it, and the crew up at Merkur Midwest for putting up with my questions and supplying parts.
My car is currently in storage for the winter in my grandmas garage, but that didn't stop me from sneaking in a drive on a nice day last week. This last year has been great, and I look forward to the years to come. See you next year.

Let's face it, cryptocurrency adoption is very small. A small portion of the global population owns cryptocurrency (estimates suggests only 3.5% of households are crypto households) and there are still few real world use cases. Yes, it is possible to buy food, houses, cars, or even travel using Bitcoin. Yes, Ethereum revolutionized the way crowdfunding is done and showed how blockchain has the potential to be applied to other things besides being just a digital currency (Crypto 2.0). However, the crypto market still lacks liquidity. Most people still trade their Bitcoin for fiat currency in order to make their purchases. Also, many altcoins have no use in the real world and resemble stocks with the added advantage that they are transferable. They are speculative assets and you have no way of using them unless you sell them or trade them for Bitcoin.
Although we may be painting a dark scenario, things will probably be very different in the next 10 years as adoption grows. But let's focus on the here and now: the whole liquidity of the crypto market rests solely on Bitcoin shoulders. Not only that but as we could see from the crash that happened this month of January, the price of most altcoins are indexed to the price of Bitcoin.
Bitcoin holds most of the crypto market captive. In most cases when Bitcoin goes up, alts go up, and vice-versa. So, even if you are only invested in altcoins you should pray for the health and well being of Bitcoin because it affects the market as a whole. There is also another issue: Bitcoin's network, in its current state, is slow and prohibitively expensive to use. Most transactions are now done on the Ethereum blockchain. Some retailers have even stopped accepting Bitcoin, while others were forced to accept payments in altcoins. This is worrying indeed because what offers liquidity to crypto, besides trading volume, is being accepted as a medium of payment.
This might not come as a surprise to some of you, some specialist have been considering Bitcoin to be a store of value rather than a currency for quite some time now. Can Bitcoin be fixed by atomic swap technology or off-chain solutions, like the lightning network? Maybe. Are there other altcoins that work better as currencies? Definitely. Will these new altcoins bring the mass adoption that is needed to offer real liquidity to the crypto market? We certainly hope so.

Released: 28/03/2014
eISBN: 9781783067879
Format: Paperback/eBook
A?Shining Space:?A Daughter's Life is the biography of Sarah Eugenie Fabian, who died suddenly at the age of five, after a fortunate and happy life. It is also the story of a mother's conversion from ignorance and indifference about babies to astonished love and admiration, and the postponement of a career for a period of full-time parenthood. "I started almost at once to write about her, in the hope that something of the miracle of love and life that she had been for us could be saved from oblivion and shared with others. " Based on memories recorded whilst the essence of her vibrant self was still vividly present, the story has a unique immediacy, along with the atmosphere, scope and narrative pace of a novel. A?Shining Space:?A Daughter's Life will appeal in general to fans of biographies, and will resonate with both young and beareaved parents.
Appreciations of The Sarah Journals
I have never read a book quite like it. Aside from learning much about the process of grief, I was moved by your sheer persistence in wanting to understand Sarah's death. You are both inside and outside your experience, both the person who experiences the trauma and the writer who observes your changing attitudes and emotional responses. . . You show us everything. Your exasperation, your numbness and sorrow, your frustration and rage, and your struggle to find a way to live, to go on. I liked very much the way in which you turn to literature (this is one of the great strengths of the book in my mind), not uncritically, but weighing up the truth and relevance of every quotation against your own experience… You should be enormously proud of what you have achieved.
Mark McKenna
I would like to thank you so much for your book The Sarah Journals. It is the finest book on loss I have ever read. I am most grateful to you for the writing and also the sharing of such profound and innermost thoughts. You introduced me to poets I have not read and also to powerful ideas which will guide me on my bereavement journey.
Mary McCalman
This book tells the memories a mother has about her daughter's 5 years of life. She talks about her daily life, the way she played, the way she loved and everything in between. This mother had never thought of ever wanting to be a mother but when she did become one she found that it was the most fabulous thing ever. Sarah (her daughter) died a 5 from a serious illness and it was quite hard on her and her husband and on their son. I highly recommend this book to everyone to read. It is quite thought provoking and touching. I wish I could give more than the 5 that I have given.
by Marjorie Boyd-Springer
Very sweet, touching story of a mother's memories of the life of a daughter list much too early. While I enjoyed it, it ended very abruptly. I actually went back and forth several times trying to fund the pages I knew I must have missed.
by Laurie Cory
The loss of a child is no less than losing a piece of yourself. Forever. It's simply not the natural order of things. Burying a child means that your life is forever colored. You view things through two lenses: before the loss and after the loss. And you never take for granted that having a child means that you will never say goodbye forever to another one. You live holding your breath every time your teenager goes out and doesn't answer calls or texts. Your heart skips a beat when your tween is not where he says he would be when you pick him up from school. The shadow of grief and the whisper of loss surround your every move. I know. I, too, am a reluctant card carrying member of this unwitting club.
Having lived through this horror myself, I was intrigued by the blurb of Ailsa Fabian's book and immediately began reading it. I was touched by a young mother's heart growing exponentially as her first born began to envelope every waking moment of her life. Her honesty (or ignorance) about desiring to go back to the work that gratified her almost immediately after beginning her family gave way to a quiet acquiescence of her role in the family. Our roles in life, as most mothers in the 1960's (and some would argue even now) discovered, have a season. Fabian gave way to the motherhood season of her life with gusto and loved first her daughter, and then her son with gusto.
The pages are ripe with memories of vacations and a quiet, almost easy life in comparison to today's standards full of extra hands on deck to assist with the child rearing. Her writing is not easy to follow, and the book took longer to unfold because of it. Yet in the pages, one could sense the absolute love for a child long ago lost. My one grievance was the abrupt way in which the book ended. I thought perhaps I had skipped a chapter or missed the epilogue. Alas, there was not one mention of young Sarah's illness, her mother's fear and ultimate grief, or of the family's workings after such a tragic loss. And while I enjoyed reading her memories of the idyllic childhood that she provided for her daughter, that was the ultimate reason why I placed her book ahead of the all the others in the first place.
It must be mentioned that A Shining Space is being published as the author is the ripe age of 93. A mother's heart never mends.
Thanks to NetGalley for the e-copy.

Based on memories of her daughter who died when she was just five years of age, this poignant, hear wrenching book allows the reader to experience what a roller coaster of a ride bereaved parents go through when they lose a child, how they have to be strong at times. Its a lovely biography of a beautiful child.
by Pam Thomas
I read this book in one sitting. I enjoyed getting to know about Sarah, the author's child. She told us up front that she died at age five from a respiratory illness. We learned more about her mother's death and her brother's death than what happened to Sarah. It cuts off shortly after her fifth birthday. It seemed like we had no warning the book was going to end and then it was over without finishing the story. This was disappointing. We never learned what happened. (Yes....I know she died...but how did it happen? Did she have any warning? What were her last days like? Did you get to tell her "Goodbye"? Did she die in her sleep?) It felt incomplete.
by Tamara Vernon
This is a beautifully and intelligently written book. It is a loving memorial and a joyful recount of the start of their family life. Ailsa's observations of her daughter 's short life are refreshing and good humoured and remarkably clear and unsentimental. Almost unbelievably they are not coloured by the obvious later tragedy. I found this a wonderful book and although I was sad at the loss the family had suffered I was glad too that they had known and loved their beautiful and charming daughter.
by Alexa Barber
It is a sweet story. The author has a lovely writing style and prose.
by Linda Warner
Counting Wild Strawberries Lynn Piper Read 15th May 2014 I was on holiday whilst I read this book; it was an easy read and I completed it in two long sittings. It is a love story, but not realistic – how can a man who cheats on his wife, tell his wife - and the wife and the lover become friends! The holidays they spend together are full of interesting details. I enjoyed the details of Spain and the walk in the Himalayas. Packed with interest. I did not like Ewan in any way and as for Kate – she was too good to be true. This is a light read and as such I award it 3 stars.

Tom is a firefighter in Denver who was featured as bachelor of the year, and in the fire station's calendar, prior to his recent wedding. He is the first patient featured in our gallery. He answered the question "What were some of the benefits you saw from your hair transplants?" as follows:
Probably the most obvious benefit from hair transplants was an increase in self-confidence. It was really nice to wake up each morning looking at my own hair again. It was quite difficult to keep from staring into the mirror!
Probably the most unexpected benefit was the positive comments from friends and family as to how good I looked, and how young I look. I had numerous friends, and people I really didn't know that well, comment on how young they thought I was.
I am now 37 years old and most people guess my age at 29 or 30!
Before my transplant I wore a hair replacement. I was always subconsciously wondering what people were thinking or saying about my hair, and if they could tell I was wearing fake hair. I never let anyone get close to my head for fear they may detect the hair on my head was fake. Now I don't care, they can get as close as they want.
Dr. Keene was able to give me a very natural and soft looking frontline of hair that is absolutely undetectable to my friends or family. Those people who know I had a transplant done have been amazed at how natural it looked. Many of the same people and friends that commented to me about their amazement either heard of horror stories or actually knew someone who had one done that was not as natural.
The hair has been permanent with no loss and no signs of breakage, which was a real concern of mine, since being a professional fire fighter, my hair can be subjected to all types of extreme conditions from freezing to extreme heat. The use of protective gear, and the helmet being used continuously, can even put unusual wear on anyone's hair.
I could never be happier with the way my hair looks now.

Kiwifruit relish is a New Zealand tradition. Make it when the kiwifruits are in abundance! The relish will keep well unopened for a number of months, in a cool, dry place.
- 550 g kiwifruit
- 1 onion
- 3 fresh chillies
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
1Prepare the kiwifruit. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the rough outer skin from each kiwifruit. Chop the flesh up roughly.
2Remove the outer layer of the onion. Chop finely.
3Slice the chillies finely. Be sure to remove all traces of the seeds. This step is best done wearing gloves. Be careful not to wipe you eyes or nasal cavity if the chillies have come into contact with your fingers.
4Place all of the chopped ingredients into the saucepan. Add the chopped ginger, sugar and vinegar.
5Over a medium heat, cook the kiwifruit for 50 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and appears pulp-like.
6Sterilise the storage container jars. Dry them and have them ready, hot for pouring in the relish. Transfer the cooked relish into the hot jars. Seal while still hot.
7Keep opened relish in the fridge for up to a month. Store unopened relish in a pantry for up to 6 months. Check for any mould growth; discard if this occurs.

I've watched videos and read articles where you hear things like t-shirts, free beer, and other dynamics are what keep employees – because of a sense of belonging and suggestions that a company cares.
T-shirts and beer are great. But research, actual studies, suggest that high performers quit for reasons beyond t-shirts and beer. So I thought I would share with you some of the insights I've learned over the last two decades, reinforced by the research.
High performers actually are motivated by money. Just not how you think.
One interesting study invited folks to pick from two scenarios:
- A yearly salary of $120,000 when those around them made $150,000.
- A yearly salary of $80,000 when those around them made $60,000.
A majority of the folks chose the second scenario. When people evaluate compensation, it's often in the context of what it will do for them, not just what it will buy.
High performers, in a study done by Oxford and SAP, marked compensation and bonuses as critical components of keeping them engaged at a company.
But not just because of the amount.
What motivates a high performer is the recognition that comes with excellent compensation and a bonus that aligns the value delivered by a high performer with the value a company receives.
In other words, if you bring a great deal of value to your business and they don't demonstrate a recognition of that fact (by making sure you partake in the proceeds), you're likely to feel slighted (as a high performer) and go somewhere where they will value.
In essence, money talks.
High performers love accountability. For everyone.
One of the ways I share this with my staff is to explain how things worked in the very old days when Rome was conquering the planet. Roman soldiers would have shields that would have a loop on one side and a hook on the other. This enabled soldiers to link up together.
The benefit of this approach was that when you moved forward, together as a team, you didn't have to worry that you'd be out of sync with your army. You all moved together, at once, linked by your shields.
High performers want to look left and right and know that they're not the only ones carrying the heavy load. They don't mind being accountable for their own growth and for their own efforts, but they don't want to have to carry someone else's load. Not consistently.
How many companies have you been in, where everyone knows who the weak link is, and yet no one does anything about it because clearly management doesn't have a clue and isn't willing to do something about it?
High performers simply vote with their feet. If the people around them aren't high performers, and if their team leaders and management don't seem to care, then they simply walk.
Performance over Procedure
One study published in 2012 looked at all sorts of people in a variety of roles. They broke out the high performers from regular and low performers. In doing so, they were looking to see if the distribution of high performers to the rest was the normal bell curve we always assume and talk about.
You know, every company has a small number of really high performers, a lot of folks in the middle and a few at the other end.
Five studies and hundreds of thousands of data points later, they discovered that the curve wasn't our normal standard distribution.
High performers clearly have some sort of radar and clump together in some companies and completely take off from others.
One reason has to do with cultures that have a lot of policy and procedure in place. Now, to be clear, there's nothing wrong with rules.
But if a culture puts rules above high performers getting their work done, it's a place that won't likely keep those high performers.
I once worked at a company where software developers could get books purchased for them (this was before developers just looked things up on Google). So if they wanted to learn something, they would go find the book, then fill out a form, then send it to their supervisor, who would send it to purchasing, who would follow up with questions, and then get answers, and then order the book, and then get it and tag it, and then deliver it to the developer.
As you can imagine, it took months to make things to happen. And high performers see what's happening.
The process was created to solve a problem that happened rarely but was real. But to protect from the 1% case, 99% of the people were burdened by extra process.
As you can imagine, most of us took off from that place – happy to go to places where we could just buy a book and bring in a receipt.
Three Reasons why High Performers Quit
- Their value isn't recognized
- There's a lack of accountability that removes poor performers from around them
- Proper procedure is more valuable than high performance
So let me ask you a question. Are you creating a culture where high performers can thrive?

Success Factors & Lessons Learned in New Product Launches
In today's competitive & crowded marketplace, biopharmaceutical companies are investing more and more resources to develop and launch new products for cardiovascular therapeutic areas. Consequently, recent industry product launches have produced both noteworthy failures and successes.
It is now, more than ever, becoming absolutely critical for leaders to understand the core set of factors that can make or break a new product's launch performance. Key points to remember when launching a new cardiovascular product include:
- Utilize New Technologies to Educate & Inform: Websites, whether brand-specific or non-branded, were ranked highest in importance for educating patients on a condition and its treatment. To make effective use of new technologies in educating the marketplace, the technology needs to align well with a therapeutic area or product.
- Educate Key Stakeholders to Inform the Market: Engage payers early and across multiple fronts. Be prepared to speak to their interests on price and reimbursement – and be able to convert price-based conversations into value-based conversations illuminating health outcomes, comparative effectiveness and most valued label attributes.
- Invest in Launch & Support to Win at Entry: Launch leaders stressed the importance of investing appropriately in a new product's launch. More than ½ of the total benchmark class – 64 percent- favor spending 101 percent to 150 percent of the market leader's investment level during product launch.
- Avoid Pitfalls & Stumbling Blocks: Potential launch pitfalls span a full spectrum of launch activities and stakeholders. Pitfalls can best be avoided by having detailed launch strategies and processes in place to quickly address any stumbles. Cardiology leaders spotlight high risk regulatory pitfalls in shifting regulatory requirements, high risk groups and safety concerns. Interestingly, up to 2/3 of benchmark participants expect risk to increase further in the next 36 months.
While some products get immediate success in the market others struggle to survive in the long run. In the ever-changing launch environment, launch leaders have to constantly reevaluate the factors that play the biggest role in helping a product successfully navigate the current launch landscape.

10 a.m.
President Donald Trump is escalating his feud with Rep. Ilhan Omar, accusing her on Twitter of making "anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and ungrateful U.S. HATE statements."
The comments come a day after the Minnesota Democrat said she's faced increased death threats since Trump spread a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
She's accused Trump of fomenting right-wing extremism and urged him to stop.
Trump is also going after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He's accusing her of having "lost all control of Congress" and "getting nothing done," and says, before she decides to "defend her leader, Rep. Omar," she should look at her past comments.
He asserts, without evidence, that Omar is "out of control, except for her control of Nancy!"
12:22 a.m.
Rep. Ilhan Omar says she's faced increased death threats since President Donald Trump spread around a video that purports to show her being dismissive of the 2001 terrorist attacks. "This is endangering lives," she said, accusing Trump of fomenting right-wing extremism. "It has to stop."
Her statement late Sunday followed an announcement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she has taken steps to ensure the safety of the Minnesota Democrat and the speaker's call for Trump to take down the video.
Soon after Pelosi's statement, the video disappeared as a pinned tweet at the top of Trump's Twitter feed, but it was not deleted.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders defended Trump earlier Sunday, saying he wished no "ill will" upon the first-term lawmaker.
