UW Bachelor's Completion Program
UW Bachelor's Completion Program: Flexible Schedule Options
Edmonds Community College, Bellevue College, and the University of Washington have joined together to offer a flexible option for achieving your bachelor's degree with all but 45 credits taken online. This program is ideal for working professionals or any students who have busy and complex lives requiring a flexible and convenient way to fulfill their goal of earning a University of Washington bachelor's degree.
Main Benefits
You can take classes in the evening on the UW campus as well as choose the eLearning classes that best fit your busy schedule.
You can gain immediate entry into the Social Science major. For the other majors, with a little planning, you can take the prerequisites at your community college as part of your associate's degree or via eLearning from the UW.
You get a University of Washington bachelor's degree. The only difference between the day and evening program is the availability of majors, and the times classes meet. Many of the instructors are full-time UW faculty.
The Program
Under the Flexible Schedule Option, you first complete an associate transfer degree through online and/or onsite courses at Bellevue College or Edmonds Community College. Once completed, you may continue to enroll into up to 45 eLearning courses from the University of Washington and complete your last 45 credits as a matriculated Evening Degree student.
Or you may apply and be accepted to the Evening Degree Program and take a combination of onsite and eLearning courses to complete your degree. To earn your bachelor's degree, your final 45 credits must be taken in residence (taken on campus) at the University of Washington. It is recommended that you meet with an Evening Degree advisor to discuss which path best suits your circumstances prior to embarking on your final 90 credits.
Choosing a Major
Currently, the degree available for this program is a Bachelor of Arts in Integrated Social Sciences.

text: As much as I have run my mouth about dropping the dime I have a conumdrum involving that very issue, fortunately it is not NWCO related.As many of you know I am a beekeeper in addition to NWCO. I am also the incoming president of my local bee club, Henry County Beekeepers Association. We are one of the largest and fastest growing clubs in central Georgia with over 100 families in it with many new beeks and plenty of visitors and interested folks attending each meeting. We pride ourselves in being the go to source for the new beek and put alot of emphasis on mentoring.Well on to my dilemma. It involves honey production and sales. I am not a major producer, only six cases this year, and sell out my front door direct to the consumer. As such I am no threat to other beeks in the area and I want to keep it that way. I also sell at a few local venues such as an antique tractor/farm event this past weekend. I will have honey available for sale in Moultrie as well.Well this weekend I became aware of a local mom and pop store not a mile from me selling FRESH LOCAL HONEY. Not a problem, I wish the guy the best of success but today when I stopped in to meet and greet and see who, how and what I found my dilemma.Georgia as most states has certain requirements for the sale of food products and farm commodities. At my level and with direct to consumer sales I have the least of burdens, basically none. For retail sales though, as in the case of the mom and pop which is selling someone else's product, there are specific labeling requirements. Mainly as a way for the consumer or the Dept of Ag to be able to contact the producer in the event of a problem. The short and sweet of it is if the consumer buys directly from me the producer then the consumer knows where the product originated hence no label needed if the consumer purchases the product from a third party retailer a label is required. There is also the issue of where the product is produced. If it is for retail sale then it must be produced in an approved and inspected facility, direct to consumer not. That portion is beyond the scope of my question.Well, me being slightly anal about cya have taken the time to design and print up my own labels that more or less meet all the requirements for retail sales that I am not required to have since I do not do retail sales. Go figure, I'm funny that way.The local mom and pop has sitting on their counter a case of pint mason jars containing an amber liquid of unknown origin as there is no label of any sort on it other than a price sticker. Lower than mine of course but as usual I am the highest priced guy in town, no worry I like it that way.Now here's the kicker. I asked as to who and the name floored me. I won't name names here but locally this fellow is very highly regarded, heck I hold/held him in high regard myself. This ain't no newby or hobbiest that don't know no better, he's been into bees since Noah unloaded them off the ark.So, do I drop the dime or don't I?I want to hear your thoughts before I reveal my thinking.

New GAO Study Addresses Performance Audit Reports
Courtesy of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a new study looks at performance audits for different types of pension plans. The report is entitled "Oversight of the National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust" (May 2014) and responds to requests from members of the U.S. Congress for information about this $25 billion retirement plan. Based on countless interviews with regulators, private fiduciary experts (and yes, I did answer some questions about benchmarking) and pension fund executives, the authors put forth the idea that performance audits could be mandated to occur more often. Interestingly, GAO researchers point out that "the frequency with which the Trust has commissioned performance audits is comparable to or exceeds most state efforts," adding that "...nine state plans are audited at least once every 2 or 3 years" with interviewees from 19 states pointing out that retirement plans "were subject to audits at longer set intervals that varied from state to state or were not reviewed according to any established time frame."
Pension fund accounting and performance benchmarking is certainly getting its share of attention. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commissioner Daniel Gallagher recently decried what he believes is an under-reporting of "trillions of dollars in liabilities. In his May 29, 2014 speech before attendees of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's 1st Annual Municipal Securities Regulator Summit, Commissioner Gallagher talks about pension and OPEB liabilities as a serious threat and warned that "...it is imperative that bondholders know with precision the size of the potential pension liabilities of the entities in which they are investing. And yet, they do not." He adds that the "threat has been hidden from investors." As Lisa Lambert and Lisa Shumaker describe, government officials say that these sharp remarks sting and will scare people into thinking that a systemic problem exists. Read "Pension groups strike back at SEC commissioner's criticism" (Reuters, June 16, 2014). In its Q1-2014 update, the National Association of State Retirement Administrators ("NASRA") show that public pension fund assets have grown to $3.66 trillion, up slightly from the year-end 2013 level of $3.65 trillion.
On the rule-making front, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB") just published an update to its pension accounting standards and posted a pair of brand new proposals to "improve financial reporting by state and local governments of other post-employment benefits, such as retiree health insurance." See "GASB Publishes Proposed Accounting Standards for Government Post-Employment Benefits" by the editor of AccountingToday.com, Michael Cohn. You can download the three documents by visiting the GASB website. Click to access GASB's microsite about Other Postemployment Benefits ("OPEB").
The good news, as I have said all along, is that initiatives for heightened transparency are underway. For more difficult situations, don't be surprised if litigation about disclosures continues to occur. In case you missed the February 24, 2014 Practising Law Institute ("PLI") CLE webinar, you can purchase the slides and audio recording of "Muni Bonds, Pensions and Financial Disclosures: Compliance, Litigation and Regulatory Trends." I co-presented with Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP partner, Elaine Greenberg. My focus was on risk management, valuation, performance and investment decision-making.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
Anthony Gomes
Gomes made his recording debut in 1998 on the Urban Electric label with Blues in Technicolor, followed by Sweet Stringin' Soul in 2000. In 2002 he switched to 33rd Street Records for Unity and proceeded to win the 2003 BluesWax Artist of the Year award. This accolade elevated Gomes to the top of the blues field, and consequently he was able to draw increasingly larger crowds to his live performances, which increased in frequency and scope. Though he didn't release another album until 2006, Gomes' endless touring kept him atop the blues field, as he continued to be nominated for BluesWax Artist of the Year awards several years in a row.
Gomes' fourth album, Music Is the Medicine (2006), released on the Adrenaline Music label, was his first to chart, peaking at number four on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. During his supporting tour of the album, the February 27, 2007, show at the Triple Door in Seattle, WA, was recorded and subsequently released in 2008 as the album Live. It features his band, the New Soul Cowboys, comprised of David Karns (bass, vocals), Peter Lang (drums), and Dylan St. John (keyboards, vocals). The first of his albums to document his on-stage performance ability, Live was his greatest commercial success to date, reaching number one on the Billboard Top Blues Albums chart. ~ Jason Birchmeier

four step process;
1. spray metallic (enamel)
2. brush in rust colored enamel
3 brush on acrylic flat black
4. while black is still wet, dab with crumpled newspaper.
Repeat for extreme awesomeness.
Be sure to clearcoat after paint completely dries. Acrylic is not waterproof and chips very easily when not protected.

Service: Service is powerful. It plays an integral part in the success of each of the four pillars of our school; Entrepreneurial Spirit, Global Vision, Analytical Rigor, and Ethical Leadership. Service augments each of these pillars. The MBA Association is dedicated to leading through service.
"To give real service you must add something which cannot be bought or measured with money, and that is sincerity and integrity." -Douglas Adams
We, as MBA students, have received a vote of confidence in our abilities and our potential. We don't like the word potential. To us, it means that we could do something someday but we haven't performed yet. So, here's a question, how quickly can we convert our potential into action? Some offer the excuse that they haven't been afforded opportunities. Some individuals become resigned to living with "potential".
"I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it." -Jonathan Winters.
We, as MBA students of the Huntsman School of Business, create our own opportunities. We say "No more Some-days!" This is our Mission: No More Some-days! "Action is the foundational key to all success" -Pablo Picasso
We endeavor to fulfill this mission by:
Communication: Communication provides the foundation for the Huntsman MBA Association. We believe Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success. The Huntsman MBA Association is committed to being the communication catalyst for our members by:

Download Your data center is constantly becoming more complicated. Today, the proliferation of virtualization - both for virtual servers as well as virtual desktop projects - has added an all-new layer of complexity to the picture. Server virtualization is now handling production workloads, and traditional backup vendors are adding features to keep up. However, solutions specifically for VM backup offer key advantages, and when you add image-based backup solutions that do a bit of both, things can get even more complicated.

Stacey Cole's Nature Talks: Reader fortunate to have seen a white lady's slipper
STACEY COLE | June 21. 2013 9:37PM
With two broad leaves below,
Shapely the flower so lightly poised between,
And warm her rosy glow."
Their lovely blooms are probably as well known as any wildflower that grows in our woodlands and, that occasionally, are found along roadsides.
In his book "Field Guide to Wildflowers," Roger Tory Peterson wrote with respect to the moccasin flower: "Rarely white."
Two yellow lady's slippers, are known as "large" (Pubescens), and "small" Parviflorum). These members of the orchid family grow in bogs, wet woods, and shady swamps.
Our reader certainly was fortunate to have seen a white lady's slipper. Only once have I seen and photographed one. That bloom caught my eye as I was travelling south out of Bartlett along the Bear Notch Road.
A former "wildlife rehabilitator" and long-time Milford reader, Lorraine Carson, recently wrote in part: "Do bluebirds eat suet? Yes, they do!!! I raised bluebirds when I was able to do wildlife rehab but never fed them suet. They got better quality food than that. We have had two bluebird nest boxes in our yard for years and have bluebirds all summer and winter flitting through, but never has any nested in one of the boxes until this year. They raised three babies as far as I could tell. During the time of feeding the nestlings, I began to notice first the male going to the suet feeder and then to the nest box. Then the female began going to the suet feeder. They were both eating the suet themselves and also feeding it to their young. Even during winter, I noticed them at the suet from time to time.
A note from Greenville read: "Four great blue herons were seen adjacent to the Abenaki Ski Area on Route 109-A in Wolfeboro on May 20. In recent years there have been nests in the Marsh area. I enjoy your articles."
Stacey Cole's address is 529 W. Swanzey Road, Swanzey.

Question: I have five pet Giant Burrowing Cockroaches and would like to know if they are boys or girls. How can I tell the sexes apart? Is there anything I can do to encourage them to mate?
Answer: Male and female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches, Macropanesthia rhinoceros, are quite similar in appearance. However, it is possible to tell them apart by looking at their pronotums. The pronotum is the shield-like structure just behind the head.
Giant Burrowing Cockroaches. Note the female's smooth rounded pronotum (left) and the male's sculptured pronotum (right). Photographer: Alan Henderson / Copyright: Minibeast Wildlife
Female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches have a pronotum that is rounded and smooth. The males have pronotums that are much more sculptured. This difference is only obvious in adults and sub-adults; it is very difficult to sex juveniles.
Giant Burrowing Cockroaches usually mate in early summer. You can keep the sexes together all year round, but they may be more likely to mate if you introduce them to each other just before the mating season. Increasing the temperature and humidity of their environment will also encourage sexual activity.
If your cockroaches do mate, they are most likely to do it at night. You should provide your mated females with shallow substrate and a bark shelter. Keep the humidity of their enclosure high and minimise disturbances.

Female Giant Burrowing Cockroaches usually give birth to about 20 live young. The young will remain with their mother for up to 12 months, reach maturity at 2 to 3 years and live for up to 10 years.
More information on the husbandry of this, and hundreds of other species, can be found in the Museum Victoria publication entitled Keeping Bugs Alive! A guide to keeping Australian Invertebrates.
Hi Alex, Giant Burrowing Cockroaches have never before been known to eat each other. Here at the Melbourne Museum we keep individuals togethers for years and never have a problem. Sometimes one will start doing lots of digging and excavating that disturbs its housemates – at which time we will separate them until the excavator settles down. Maybe have a look through the enclosure and ensure there are no predators about.
Dear Joshua,
The ideal humidity for Giant Burrowing Cockroaches (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) is about 60%. These cockroaches live in the northern parts of Qld but they can often be found in sandy coastal areas where humidity is relatively high, as well as more arid inland areas where humidity is significantly lower.
The best way to provide this is to spray the substrate daily if the enclosure has no lid or if the lid is well ventilated. Less often if there is little ventilation. Try not to spray the entire substrate, and instead spray a wide strip along one edge so that the cockroaches themselves can determine where they want to hang out.
More information on this and other invertebrate species can be found in the 'Bugs Alive' book produced by Melbourne Museum, or on online forums.
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
I also have the problem

Drove for about 45 min and was wondering if I managed to take out the alternator with the low battery, but I got to my shop and checked, battery up to 12.4 volts and alternator was charging fine. Came home tonight and again the radio played for a couple of minutes before dying, oh and while it is playing the volume control does nothing, and I can't turn the radio off either. I disconnected the battery when I got home and threw the charger on again, I'll charge it all night and let the electrical system reset itself and see if I'm good in the morning.........
I found this thread -
I unplugged my Dension iceLink that has been in there for 5 or 6 years and that solved the problem.

Lake Livingston State Park Piloting New Campsite Reservation System
LIVINGSTON – Campers planning to visit Lake Livingston State Park in the Pineywoods can now select a specific campsite while making reservation under a one-year pilot program introduced recently. The site-specific reservations policy is unprecedented in the Texas State Park system, which has always operated on a first-come, first-served basis when securing a campsite.
So far, park officials give the pilot program positive marks. During the first two weeks of its implementation on Jan. 13, 528 reservations were made for the 10 screened shelters and 34 full-hookup, 50-amp service campsites participating in the program. In total, the state park has more than 170 campsites and 10 screened shelters.
"We wanted to explore new options to provide the best possible park experience while ensuring better access for late arrivals," says Sheldon Kauitzsch, assistant park superintendent. "This pilot was driven in part by past visitor comments and a recent survey of park users that overwhelming confirmed they wanted this option."
An internal Texas Parks and Wildlife Department team spent a year researching the site-specific reservation issue, talking to other organizations that use that system. The team learned that 48 other state park systems take site-specific reservations.
One of the keys to implementing the site-specific reservation program was the development of an interactive park map of the campgrounds that includes two photos and a brief description. Visitors to the park's website can "click" on a "map" button that allows them to virtually see and then reserve in advance a specific screened shelter or one of the campsites.
"It provides a visitor who has never been to our park the ability to see the sites beforehand," Kauitzsch explains. "The RV owner, for instance, can find out the orientation, slope and measurements of the campsite, where the trees are located that might interfere with slide-outs and the location of sewer drops."
For late arrivals and those who find their reserved campsite has an issue that can't be resolved quickly, the park also has set aside an additional three "local" campsites to accommodate them. A post-launch survey is in development that will provide customer feedback about the new campsite reservation system.
Once a website visitor selects a campsite or shelter, the individual can"click" on an online reservation website link to finalize the transaction. Reservations also can be made by calling (512) 389-8900.
The park entrance fee is $5 for persons 13 and older. Campsites range from $10 to $25 per night. Screened shelters rent for $30 per night.
Lake Livingston State Park covers 635 acres on the southeastern shore of 83,000-acre Lake Livingston about 75 miles outside Houston. It opened to the public in 1977 and is popular with anglers, campers, hikers, horseback riders and mountain bikers. For more information, contact the park at (936) 365-2201. To find out about other Texas State Parks, call (800) 792-1112.

Over a year ago I paid Katarra for several items that I never recieved. I know she went under, but she promised she would fullfill my order. Even as recently as a few months ago she said my order would be done soon and she was getting ready to start on it. I finally asked for a refund and now I haven't heard from her.
Can anyone here help me out.
You can email or PM me if you want to.

The spirit of Obama touched down in Rotterdam where a Moroccan immigrant was installed as mayor of the city marking the first time in the history of the Netherlands that an immigrant has been elected mayor of an important city in the nation. Mr. Ahmed Aboutalelb, who holds dual Moroccan-Dutch citizenship, was elected which marks an important first step in furthering efforts to integrate immigrants into the population of the Netherlands. Mr. Jan Franssen, the queen's representative in the region, termed the election, "Obamas on the Maas(the river in the city)" and added, "the significance is great. This proves that there is no glass ceiling for immigrants in the Netherlands."
Mayor Aboutaleb said he no longer had any other dreams in life since his ultimate desire has now been accomplished. The forces of hate and prejudice against immigrants suffered a setback and hopefully there will be other immigrants elected to high office.

The Canisius softball team extended its winning streak to three straight with a doubleheader sweep of St. Bonaventure in Olean, N.Y., on Wednesday afternoon. The Golden Griffins moved to 10-20 on the season by taking game one 9-7 and then dropping the Bonnies 10-3 in the nightcap. St. Bonaventure fell to 4-22 on the year.
The Griffs trailed 2-1 after two in the first game, but the Blue and Gold took the lead for good in the third with a five-run frame, highlighted by an RBI-single from senior Valorie Nappo that allowed two runners to score. Canisius knotted the game at 2-2 on a solo homer run in the fifth by sophomore Alexis Roman. For Roman, it was her first career homer. Nappo later had the single to drive in a pair and sophomore Bethany DeMarco added an RBI-single in the frame as well. Canisius added a single tally in the fourth and then posted two insurance runs in the top of the sixth an on RBI-single by freshman Lindsey Silfer and another RBI-base hit by Valorie Nappo.
The nine runs were enough for Canisius starter Jen Consaul, who earned the win after she went the distance, allowing seven runs on seven hits to go with five walks. The win improved her to 8-11 on the year. For Canisius, Valorie Nappo went 2-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored while Silfer went 3-for-3 with three runs scored and a run batted in. DeMarco had two hits and two RBI in the win for the Blue and Gold while junior Michelle DelPrince added two hits and two RBI as well.
In the nightcap, Canisius jumped on the Bonnies early and never looked back, posting a 10-3 win for the team's sixth-straight victory over St. Bonaventure, dating back to last season. Canisius scored three times in the top of the first on the power of a two-run homer by Silfer, the first of her career. In the second, the Griffs tacked on three more runs, with the key hit coming in the form of another two-run homer off the bat of sophomore Meghan Cuda. For Cuda, she now leads the team with eight homers this season.
Down 7-0 after the Griffs batted in the top of the third, the Bonnies tried to make a comeback with two runs in the home half of the frame, but again, Consaul was up to the task. She picked up her team-leading ninth win and MAAC-leading 17th complete game of the year after she allowed three runs on eight hits to go with three strikeouts and three walks.
Canisius posted a season-high 16 hits in the game two win, with Cuda going 4-for-4 with two RBI. Freshman Jessica Berzins had three hits, including two doubles and DelPrince posted her first triple of the season in the victory.
Canisius will return to MAAC action on Saturday, April 12, when the team plays at Manhattan. The doubleheader will start at noon.

goose, i like to cut brest in half make a deep slit in each half fill with cream cheese and one or two jalapino slices wrap in bacon an grill untill medium rare and cream cheese is starting to leak out. very easy.
duck, i take a pan and turn the heat on high. as hot as it will get. so the pan starts smoking. i use "chef paul prudhommes blackened redfish magic" seasoning. cut the duck into small bitesized pieces cover very well with seasoning so it is almost orange. melt a little butter and pour over duck not too much. then dump into increadibly hot pan and cover. cook like 3 minutes and stir. do this every 3 minutes for 12 minutes. take out of pan and eat.
both are alittle spicy and are great tailgate recipes for after a hunt.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Ś Barrett Jones was definitely not going there.
AlabamaÆs All-American offensive lineman has spent five seasons with coach Nick Saban and he knows better than to talk about stuff like legacies and the Crimson TideÆs place in history.
ōDo you know what would happen if Nick Saban watched this interview and heard me say the D word?ö Jones told a reporter who tried to lure him into the forbidden zone.
The D word would be dynasty and it is definitely off-limits around Alabama. But make no mistake, if the Crimson Tide can beat No. 1 Notre Dame on Monday night it will become the first team to win consecutive BCS championships and join a select list of college football programs with three national titles in four years.
In short, Alabama will lay claim to one of the great runs in history.
ōI think what weÆre really focused on is what we have to do in this particular game,ö Saban said moments after Alabama arrived in south Florida. ōMichael Jordan always says it doesnÆt make any difference how many game-winning shots IÆve made in the past. The only one that matters is the next one.ö
Since The Associated Press started crowning a college football champion in 1936, a team has repeated as champion 10 times, including Bear BryantÆs Alabama teams twice.
No team has won three straight titles in the poll era. The standard is three out of four, and only two teams have done that. Notre Dame won AP titles in 1946, `47 and `49. But thatÆs ancient history. Back then the final poll came out before the bowls were even played.
The other three-in-four-year champion was Nebraska, which won back-to-back AP titles in 1994 and `95, and capped a remarkable run with a perfect season and coachesÆ poll title in 1997, Tom OsborneÆs final season as coach. Michigan was voted No. 1 in the final AP poll that year.
Over that four-year period, Nebraska went 49-2.
AlabamaÆs gone 48-5 since 2009, fueled in large part by the recruiting class of 2008. That group has already produced eight NFL draft picks, including 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram and star receiver Julio Jones.
Four members of that class are still with the Tide, all starters: Jones, the two-time All-American, safety Robert Lester, defensive end Damion Square and tight end Michael Williams. Linebacker Nico Johnson and guard Chance Warmack from the class of 2009 are the only other current players who have played for the two previous Alabama championship teams.
ōI respect all the guys that came in in 2008,ö Lester said Friday. ō(Alabama) just came off a ... 7-6 season.ö
It seems hard to believe now, but not everybody was convinced Saban would turn Alabama into a juggernaut at that point. The Tide had been down a while and Saban was not far removed from two unimpressive NFL seasons. But he proved he hadnÆt lost his touch in recruiting with that class.
ōFor those guys to believe in the system and to come in and help turn it around, it speaks wonders for those guys,ö Lester said. ōWeÆre down to the last four of us, playing in the national championship down in Miami, going out like this, thereÆs nothing more you can say about it.ö
Certainly not the D word, right?
ōI donÆt want to use that and call us something that we might not be,ö he said.
Good point.
The last time the D word was getting tossed around freely in college football was the 2005 season.
The last team to go back-to-back was Pete CarrollÆs Southern California squad in 2003 and `04, though even that one comes with a ōbut.ö In 2003, USC was left out of the BCS championship game, despite being No. 1 in both the AP and coaches polls at the end of the regular season, and LSU beat Oklahoma to take the BCS title. The Trojans were the APÆs champs after beating Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
The Trojans of Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush went into `05 as overwhelming favorites to become the first major college football team to three-peat. Vince Young and Texas stopped all that talk of the Trojans being the greatest of all-time in the Rose Bowl.
There hasnÆt been a similar buzz around Alabama this season, though itÆs no surprise the Tide have reached this point. Alabama started this season ranked No. 2, and spent more time at No. 1 than any other team.
Maybe the Tide havenÆt earned the same kind of hype because theyÆve had some good fortune the past two seasons. Alabama lost to LSU last year and got a second shot at the Tigers in the BCS title game. This season, `Bama lost in November at home again, but got the benefit of the doubt from poll voters ahead of other one-loss teams such as Oregon.
ōI donÆt believe they should have been in the national championship game last year. You lose one time to a team you shouldnÆt get a second bite of the apple,ö said former Notre Dame Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown, who works as an analyst for Sirius XM Radio.
Maybe itÆs because this Tide team doesnÆt have the star power that USC team did. The Trojans had two Heisman Trophy winners. The face of the Tide now is Jones, a center.
While the TideÆs signature defense is ranked first in the nation yards allowed per game, the consensus is that itÆs not as good as last yearÆs version.
ōAlabama is not what it was when it comes to having guys that can do everything,ö said ESPNÆs David Pollack, a former All-American defensive end for Georgia. ōThis is the worst defensive talent AlabamaÆs had in at least four seasons. But their system is so strong and so precise. Now heÆs got everybody Sabanized.ö
DonÆt think Pollack was knocking Alabama.
ōRidiculous,ö was how he described the TideÆs latest national championship run, with only nine senior starters. ōThatÆs not right. ThatÆs not human.ö
ItÆs Saban. HeÆs the constant and with one more championship heÆll have four, tying Notre DameÆs Frank Leahy for second-most among coaches. Only the Bear, with six, has more.
And when they start asking if youÆre better than the Bear, then thereÆs no avoiding the D word.

Ready to dive into foreign records? The process of tracing overseas ancestors differs from US research: You'll use many of the same types of records, but access and availability vary depending on which republic you're dealing with.
If you're sleuthing for Slovak ancestors, you'll discover the FHL has microfilmed church registers, censuses and other records for hundreds of Slovak localities (do a catalog place search on Slovakia, then click View Related Places for a list). That means you can tap many sources stateside. Czech roots seekers aren't so lucky: The library has far fewer Czech records, primarily because the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which operates the FHL, hasn't reached microfilming agreements with the Czech government.
Of course, historical records of Czechs and Slovaks extend well beyond the FHL's holdings, and we'll outline other ways to get them in the next section. But first, let's take a look at those countries' record-keeping practices, so you know what's available.

Lebanaon's Hezbollah group attacked the Israel government for authorizing the construction of a Tolerance Museum on a site that incorporates part of a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem. It blasted the decision "for the desecration of a historic Islamic cemetery" and charged it was part of an Israel plot to take over and claim as Jewish areas that historically were Muslim. The Israel High Court on Wednesday rejected appeals by two Muslim organizations which complained that the museum would be built over a part of an ancient Muslim cemetery. The Mufti of Jerusalem, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein expressed surprise promoters want to build a museum seeking "tolerance" over an area that many Muslims regard as sacred.
There undoubtedly are many reasons why the Simon Wiesenthal Center wishes to construct a Tolerance Museum since fostering tolerance has always been among its aims. But, surely, there is something ironic in constructing the museum over what was formerly an Islamic cemetery. Imagine the outrage if the museum were to be built over an historic Jewish cemetery.
The best way to achieve the goals of a Tolerance Museum is to begin by acting tolerant. If the Museum builds on another site it demonstrates to Muslims its desire to respect their wishes and it is the first step in moving toward mutual tolerance and respect for one another.

Among the tragedies of the Bush administration is its failed policy towards Russia. Vladmir Putin is certainly not among the most fervent supporters for democracy in his nation, but efforts by George Bush to frighten and threaten Russia have only resulted in supporting those in that nation who oppose extension of democracy to use fear of attack from outside to justify imposing strict standards on opposition voices. Fortunately, the election of Barack Obama offers the United States and the world a new opportunity to reduce tensions and support the democracy movement in Russia. Both Putin and President Medvedev on Monday indicated they were looking forward to working with Obama for a new approach between the two nations.
"We hope that the new U.S. leadership will be more constructive, responsible and –this is quite important-farsighted," said Putin. A good first step toward reducing tensions and opening the door for new initiatives would be to suspend the construction of missile bases in Poland. In fact, why not work with Russia by constructing the missile bases in Russia and allowing them to be jointly operated?

We all know the horror stories from buyers/customers when the seller/supplier doesn't get back to them.
We all know how frustrating it can be when you've paid out your money and can't get a status update or even a simple reply .
My rant is a little different.
It goes the opposite way.
I am currently cleaning my inbox out and have to sift through countless PMs sent to me requesting price quotes for painting services. I really appreciate the fact that people would consider entrusting me with thier stuff, and I realize that it is a big decision for them. I know that quality is never cheap and many cannot afford what I charge. That's cool, I couldn't afford me either.:D
However, It really irritates me when I don't hear back from a potential customer. In nearly every quote, I ask them to LMK if they decide not to go with me. I feel that's a very simple courtesy.
Many times, I have more than one project on the bench at a time and attepmting to schedule things is nearly impossible when you are anticipating new projects coming in.
I know, it's fairly pointless to even bring this up, but I had to vent a little.

See which restaurants are loading you up with sodium
By Barbara Kessler
We all know that sodium in foods leads to high blood pressure, which contributes to myriad health problems, raising the risk of stroke, heart attacks and kidney disease.
High blood pressure, which affects more than half of Americans over age 50, is a big problem. Stipulated, ok?
So who's helping us dial back our sodium intake and who's not? A survey of 17 top restaurant chains by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) has found that many fast food restaurants aren't helping, in fact, they're throwing us under the gurney. The sodium they're serving has risen in recent years, and frankly, you can just tell by looking at their food.
But first, let's look at those restaurants the CSPI applauded for powering down on sodium, in it's report, Stalling on Salt: Restaurants are Still Loaded with Sodium.
Subway, where the spongy bread will leave you begging for a baguette (and until recently contained that "yoga mat" plasticizer, as did most bread at fast food joints and groceries), actually wins on this score. Subway sammies and combo packs continue to get lower in sodium content, outperforming most competing fast food fare in taking our cardiovascular health to heart.
"Subway showed dramatic progress between 2009 and 2013, reducing sodium in every one of the 10 meals reviewed in the study," CSPI reported.
For example, Subways Footlong Ham Sandwich, a bag of Lay's Classic Potato Chips, and a Diet Coke shaved its total sodium down to 1,895 milligrams in 2013, from 2,730 mg of sodium in 2009.
To put that in perspective, that amount of sodium is still a lot. It's more than the 1500 mg per day that Americans in high risk groups should be eating, such as people over age 50, African-Americans, and those who have high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease. Still, it's good, because it's not bad, all things considered.
That's because Americans are getting more sodium than they need, about 3,300 mg per day on average, when they should be consuming no more than 2,300, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Burger King and McDonald's also posted gains in the sodium content study, and by that we mean, reductions. Both chains significantly reduced the sodium they're handing out with their burgers and fries. (Though they're still handing out burgers and fries.)
"The three Burger King kids' meals in the study were 40 percent lower in sodium on average in 2013 than in 2009, largely because the chain switched its default side dish from French Fries to Apple Slices, though it also reduced sodium in its Double Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger, and Chicken Nuggets," CSPI reported.
Micky D's made strides by reducing the sodium in its dipping sauces and salad dressings. But honestly, this was low-hanging fruit. One sauce dipped from 740 mg to 430 mg.
Alas, many fast food perpetrators purveyors, remain firmly committed to pickling us in sodium chloride.
KFC and Jack in the Box logged sodium increases of 12.4 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively, in the sample of meals reviewed, CSPI reported.
But hey, you knew that crispy chicken wasn't just luring you with a sexy leg.
KFC legs aren't the only problem, however. Its breasts are pretty briny too. "A meal of an Extra Crispy Chicken Breast, an Extra Crispy Whole Wing, a biscuit, BBQ Baked Beans, Macaroni Salad, and a medium Pepsi had 3,110 mg of sodium."
Quick math check. Yes, that would be one meal with more than the daily allowance of sodium, and double what folks over 50 should be downing in a day.
But wait, it's not just the already-suspect drive-throughs that are to blame. CSPI also looked at several sit-down establishments and found that you could easily get your sodium fix in air-conditioning.
Naming names, the CSPI fingered Red Lobster, Chili's, and Olive Garden for having meals that rack up around 5,000 mg of sodium, or about what people should eat in two days, or over six meals instead of one.
Red Lobster's Admiral's Feast is salty enough for a follow-up banquet of blood pressure meds. According to CSPI it clocks in at 5,830 mg of sodium.
Dining out definitely seems to be a big part of this sodium problem.
Even restaurants that consider themselves up a notch, are serving up sodium as if its harmless, which it is in small doses. That's not what you get in an order of P.F. Chang's Dan Dan Noodles, which self-reports that it has 6,190 mg of sodium.
You may as well stay at home and eat eight cans of Campbell's soup.
Joe's Crab Shack can hook you up with sodium too, in a meal called "The Big Hook Up" that will leave you thirsting for water to flush your kidneys.
The Hook Up seduces you with 7,610 mgs of sodium.
Speaking of hook ups, what the CSPI wants is for the government to get out of bed with the restaurant industry and start enforcing the rules, instead of voluntary guidelines on sodium.
CSPI wants the FDA to "set reasonable limits on the amounts of sodium that can be used in various categories of food."
The Institute of Medicine agrees that the restaurants cannot be counted on to watch out for our health interests and endorses having the FDA set upper limits for sodium content.
On Tuesday, Michael Jacobson, the executive director of CSPI, wrote to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg to argue for sodium rules. He quoted Dr. Jane E. Henney, chair of the IOM committee:
"For 40 years we have known about the relationship between sodium and the development of hypertension and other life-threatening disease, but we have had virtually no success in cutting back the salt in our diets."

Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
An important part of doing it yourself. What do you do with the old oil? I heard you can take it to an oil change place and they in turn sell it to recycle it. Any easier way?

Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
hi everyone....newbie here....Just got my 04 CTS a couple weeks back...1SB pak with 8900 miles and I love it. 1st car in 20 years after pickups and SUV's.....anywho....it says in the original thread that louiefl99 bought a 5 qt jug and a single. Then at the end it says he put 6 qts in, then added another 1/2 qt. I decided to change my oil because the dealer couldn't tell me exactly when the oil was changed last so I looked up the capacity in the manual and it says 5.6 qts for the 3.6L...(great engine by the way). I did the change adding the 5.6 qts and the oil showed to the bottom of the crosschecks on the dipstick. To my question...is this a misprint in the manual for the 3.6L or an approximate capacity?.... it will take 6 qts to hit the top of the cross checks on the stick.....Thanks in advance and Ive already used this forum to eyeball some of the "extras" that are must-haves.....like a billet grill from US Speed and maybe some wheels and the air intake and the.......Im in BIG trouble.....Thanks Schmit

Re: 3.6L Oil Change PictoralOriginally Posted by schmit
Engine Oil, Page 5-16
1. Turn off the engine and give the oil several minutes to drain back into the oil pan. If you do not do this, the oil dipstick might not show the actual level. [I suspect the extra 1/2 qt. of oil was added due to not allowing enought time for the oil to drain after turning the engine off.]
Capacities and Specifications, Page 5-108
Engine Oil with Filter 6.0 quarts
I changed the oil in my daugher's CTS last evening for the first time. It could not have been easier. Based on information shared in the forum, it prompted me to do so and glad I did. Six quarts put the level at the top of the cross-hatched area of the dipstick. I checked the level after five quarts; it was at the bottom of the cross-hatched area. Instructions on page 5-17 state "If the oil is at or below the cross-hatched area at the tip of the dipstick, then you will need to add at least one quart of oil." The sixth quart took it to the top as documented in the instructions.
If you are not changing your CTS' oil yourself, consider doing so!
Re: 3.6L Oil Change PictoralOriginally Posted by schmit
5.6 is correct. Did you allow enough time for the oil to run down to the pan? Did you put in a new filter as that accounts for some of the oil?
Yes, you will find a lot of neat ideas for your CTS at this Forum. Enjoy the CTS man.

Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
Yea I allowed plenty of time for the oil to run back down into the pan.....I put just about 6 qts in (new filter too) to get it to the top of the checked area on the stick and that was topping it off the next day after it sat in the garage overnight. My 04 manual states for a 3.6L HFV6 its 5.6 qts w/ filter.....zzxpyw says his 05 manual states 6 qts w/ filter.....maybe it the HFV6 designation....the top of my engine says 3.6 VVT though....I don't know but is without a doubt the cleanest, quickest and easiest oil change Ive done.....and Ive done every oil change on every vehicle Ive owned for over 25 years......and thats a lot of oil changes.....Its not a big deal.....we're talkin maybe 4-8 ounces.....I could drink that much Mobil 1 and it probably wouldn't affect me

Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
Where is the filter canister located?
Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
On top of the engine. See the picture.
Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
Just did my change on the 05 3.6. Took all of 30 minutes from start to finish. The longest time was spent draining and putting 6 qts of oil in the engine, bad funnel; otherwise it was a snap and it will probably take me a lot less time. EASIEST OIL CHANGE I'VE EVER DONE!!!:coolgleam
Re: 3.6L Oil Change PictoralOriginally Posted by louiefl99
btw-Engines are not fired till there are installed into the car and fired near the end of the assembly line where the car is born. Each car goes thru a dynamic testing (dyno) to test brakes, emissons. Of these tests I have seen it is about 5 min or less, run the vehicle 70mph and went everything passes, it driven out the door to be sent on to the railhead.
The engines are tested at the engine plants using water pressure etc but not fired. Can you imagine the EPA controls this would require not to mention about the health of the plants workers. Its just not feasible or necessay to fire up 5,000 engines per shift.
The following copied from GM service line...The following 2005 engines have synthetic engine oil installed at the engine plant(fig. 7).
3.6L LY7 Cadillac only
TIP: When servicing these engines, use oil that meets the GM4718M specification, as outlined in the Owners Manual. Not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard.
Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
fyiWe recently received this e-mail from Mike McQuoid, at Norman Gale Pontiac GMC, Cedar Knolls, NJ:
In the March 2005 issue of TechLink, there is a list of motor oils approved by GM for use in gasoline engines. I'm curious why so many full synthetic oils are listed in the non-synthetic list and not in the synthetic list.
Heres the answer from GM Powertrain:
GM4718M is General Motors' High Performance engine oil specification. Oils which meet GM4718M tend to be made from synthetic base stocks, so it is often referred to as a "synthetic" specification.
However, not all oils, synthetic or otherwise, are capable of meeting the stringent requirements of GM4718M. Only the oils listed on the GM4718M Registered Products sheet have proven their performance to the specification.
- Thanks to Matt Snider, GM Powertrain
Chevron Supreme Synthetic
Mobil 1
Texaco Havoline Synthetic
While others may indeed meet it, they are not registered with GM and this not endorsed.
My Info comes from the Registered Oil Products list dated 9-May-05

Torque Specifications, O-Ring & Washer
What are the torque specifications for the following:
1) Oil drain plug
2) Oil filter canister housing
Also, does anyone have the part numbers for the oil drain plug washer (is it a crush washer style?) and the oil filter canister O-ring? What intervals does the Service Manual recommend regarding replacing both? Thanks.
Re: 3.6L Oil Change PictoralWhat are the torque specifications for the following:

2) Oil filter canister housing
Oil Filter cap: Same.
(from page 6-510 of the factory service manual)
Re: 3.6L Oil Change Pictoral
Thanks for the pics and info. Mine won't need it for a few thousand miles, but will keep this info tucked in brain cell 32.

Line Skis Mastermind
Great short, light skis for skinning and riding most conditions. These skis came to me via Craigslist. They had been purchased and mounted with touring bindings in 2014 and never ridden for two years. I drove across the state to swoop up this deal. These are the first brand-new skis I have purchased. I got them in 172cm, which is a little short for me but that was sort of the plan since I am a moderate skier and I intend to carry them places. Dimensions: 115/85/112 (@172cm) More specs: http://www.skis.com/Line-Mastermind-Skis-2014/314376P,default,pd.html… Full review
Blizzard Zero G 95
Light and stiff tails, hold an edge like crazy. Only skied one day on them. So solid. Grip a solid surface at any speed. Would love to ski them on some pow. So light they are easy turn in tele or alpine. Full review
Volkl Mantra
Great ski! Great all mountain ski. Used them three days so far on both hard pack and powder. Very happy. Have them equipped with Marker Griffon bindings by recommendation and couldn't be happier! Full review
Atomic Blog
Lovely skis! Really like them!! Sadly I need to buy new skis this year, but will definitely buy Atomic skis! I love skiing. Full review
Armada JJ
Bottom Line: The Armada JJ is a really fun ski. It floats well at 115 underfoot, but with such early taper and rocker it has a really surfy feeling. It really can handle anything you toss at it. I highly recommend this ski to ANYONE who is looking at getting into rocker, who rides powder/crud at least 70% of the time, or who wants a sick backcountry jib ski! Pros: "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Seriously, they are probably the best 1 ski quiver ski that I have ever handled… Full review
Armada Magic J
This is hands down one of the best big mountain powder slayers on the market. It is extremely versatile given its width, and Armada nailed the flex profile in the 190cm length. For years I was begging Armada to make a super JJ (fatter, longer, stiffer, modified rocker, etc.)...They finally came out with the AK JJ, but it was just longer and only slightly stiffer. I was bummed... until they released the Magic J.... and it was everything I ever wanted and more! I always felt that the regular Armada… Full review
Salomon Rocker2 108
Awesome lightweight, extremely versatile, stiff touring ski that you can use all day inbounds. These are an awesome touring ski for someone that is looking for a ski that can charge inbouds as well as out of bounds. I use this ski about 40% of the time as an inbounds crud crusher, and 60% of the time as a backcountry powder ski. Extremely stable at speed, stomp landings hard and easily, but extremely versatile. I used to spend about 90% of my days on the Armada JJ, which has to be one of the most… Full review

I was using these as my touring ski for a while. They would have been cool 6 years ago, but now they are just kind of... lame. I was using these as my touring ski for a while. They would have been cool 6 years ago, but now they are just kind of... lame. Don't get me wrong.. they are very easy to ski. If this is going to be your first powder ski, you will probably love them. If you weigh under 150 lbs you will probably love them. If you don't ski very fast, you will probably love them.

Rossignol SOUL 7
Does nearly everything brilliantly. There was a time when I took three pairs of skis with me to the mountains: piste, powder, and touring skis. Each was ideal for their niches, and I really couldn't imagine a day when one ski could do all three. Although I have tested far from every type of ski, the Soul 7 just nails it for me. A terrific carving ski, even/especially on boilerplate pistes, just a dream in powder, crud, breakable crust, and good for touring. If it fails to fit the 'one size fits… Full review

Of course you want to look your best on your wedding day, and a beauty mishap like a broken heel, a stain on your dress, or dare we say a pimple on your face is an absolute nightmare to deal with on any day let alone the biggest day of your life! Although we're crossing our fingers that you'll never have to deal with any of these beauty blunders, here's a list of quick fixes to keep you armed and ready:
Broken Heel – The dreaded broken heel — not only is this mishap embarrassing but also can be pretty painful too! The first step to solving this mishap is avoiding it. Always have a spare pair of shoes on hand just in case. If you don't have another pair, consider investing in Shoe Goo. It's about $6.00 and will repair your heel within an hour.
Stains – Another item to pack on the day of: stain removal sticks! If those aren't handy, baby powder and rubbing alcohol are great for removing red wine and oil stains. Dab, never wipe, and make sure you soak up as much of the stain as possible first; then dab with a white towel soaked in hot water and cover with baby powder.
Skin Breakout – Over-the-counter salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide won't do the trick this late in the game. They'll just dry the blemish out and make it harder to cover up. Instead, press a hot damp towel against the blemish to reduce any swelling and take ibuprofen to reduce redness and inflammation. (Just be careful on the dosage if you're drinking!) When it comes time for makeup, ask your makeup artist for concealer that's just a shade lighter than your skin. They're professionals, they'll take it from there.
Fallen Updo – You strutted your stuff on the dance floor and now your hair is all bent out of shape? If it's just a few pieces, have your bridal party pin it back together with a few bobby pins. If your once beautiful chignon has morphed into a bird's nest, shake your hair out, finger comb with just a pea-sized amount of conditioner (less for finer hair) and twist hair into a side ponytail or braid. Pin a flower behind your ear for good measure. Another option for the crafty bride, cut the toes off a sock and roll it into a donut shape. Ta-da! A DIY hair donut! Tie your hair up in a high ponytail and have your bridal party pin sections of your hair around the sock to create a sleek and chic ballerina bun.
Orange Sunless Glow – If you overdo it on the spray tan, and you wake up looking more like an Oompa-Loompa than a bride-to-be, soak in hot water infused with lemon to open your pores and loosen your skin. The natural citric acid found in lemon does wonders with removing pigment. If you don't have time for a bath (it is your wedding day after all) a hot shower will do. Exfoliate with a loofah in circular motions as moving up and down can cause streaks. Thankfully, sunless tan removers are now sold at most local retailers. For the stubbornest of tans, consider investing in a bottle to really do the trick.

So this is my idea. And I am going to do it alone probably even if no one wants to join. I play maplestory a minimum of 2 hours a day. I am looking for others who love maplestory and want to play together in a group. I know other groups have failed in the past, however I am a steady mapler and I will definitely be playing consistently. My idea is to start on a new world (Not new as in Zenith, And Arcania) but new as in new to us and a little less populated. I figure it will be more fun to level with a group of 5 consistent players rather than by yourself 4/5ths of the time, which is how I am currently playing. I am getting 50k nx on the the 3rd and I am really thinking about transferring my WA to another world to make a MapleStory world and guild for MMOhut.
Please let me know what you think.
I am really looking for opinions from people who would either play the game seriously or who already do. AznTechie this means you.

How many times have we ALL tried to find something cheap yet worthy of our costumes? Me, seriously, I have never really found one full-proof way of "off the shelf" displaying that's worth a ****, honestly. But I have a couple in the office now and they're not perfect, but they're pretty cool. Life-sized Sideshow figures is what I say to the newbies that freak when they see 'em!
I've got two white fiberglass cheap-os from eBay which work fantastically, but are NOT poseable at all (could barely get the gloves onto them and the boots? Fhagetaboutit, I actually had to Dremmel off the toes of one of them! But I have size 9 feet...) and one tall one that worked well enough for a Vader display (same problem with the riding boots!).
But I wanted to share the resources because I know budgets are always a concern and they work really well for the price. Here is the first place I ordered from--
http://www.onlymannequins.com/ - Communication wasn't the best (it was during the first really bad storm this Christmas, so I guess they were pretty slammed), but they had cheap prices and fast shipping via UPS Ground with tracking numbers once we squared it all away. I dealt with Alex (firstname.lastname@example.com). They were the only company I could find that had a Vader-sized mannequin for under $500! It was $249.00! This particular piece is the tongue and groove type construction, 6' 4", hands by the sides and looking straight on. Flesh colored with detailed hands (gloves didn't fit because the leather was too thick with the space between the fingers being a bit thin, but looks good for cotton gloves!). It comes apart in 5 sections (2 shoulders, torso, leg and leg/hips) and the leathers went on pretty well. I needed to "buff" him up a bit, so I used small bubble wrap and duct tape. Looks pretty good, actually.
On the evilBay, I ordered from these guys--
mannequin mannequins female male child items - Get great deals on items on eBay Stores!
--and they were great. Their pieces were metal balls sliding into and locking type construction, but they come apart into 5 different pieces as well (for the most part), so getting the costumes on was pretty easy. They had great communication and super-fast shipping. Again, hard to put gloves on, but the fingers were slimmer (they were too close together, but with a little elbow grease, it finally worked it out) and they are only about 5' 10" tall, with slim builds. Good for 'Troopers (again, need to bubble wrap the legs a bit for the fat thigh armor), X-Wing pilots and the like. I actually have my screen-used BSG Apollo flightsuit and gear as well as a 'Trooper on two of those.
Anyways, I know they're all made out of thin fiberglass and can be "augmented" in their poses with a Dremmel, a little duct tape and a spread of Bondo here and there, but I haven't felt the need to do that yet.
Hands are ALWAYS a pain because that's where you run into mucho-dinero spent if you want poseable ones. This person sells hands for mannequins--
BARGINBOY'S BUY-OUTS items - Get great deals on Category 17, Category 1 items on eBay Stores!
--but I haven't ordered from him yet. But I might as my trooper looks really stupid not being able to hold his blaster! :) I know you can make fingers out of coat hangar wire and tape, but the hands on these mannequins are hollow, so I'm not sure how to do that here.
Also, I found this, which is what I'm putting my SE ROTJ Fett on when it arrives--
Flexible Male Mannequin - MannequinStore.com
For $249.00, it's worth a shot, I think!
This is my next pet projet (I think I can cut wood still without hacking off a limb) --
bobamaker: Mannequin Stand Project (I'm sure we've all seen this)
So there you have it, thought I'd share. Happy hunting!

"Space Invaders"
Lehman College Art Gallery
Until Wed Jan 9 2013

Not yet rated
Time Out says
Wed Aug 22 2012
The latest space-invader show to hit the scene is not another celestial battleground affair, but rather concerns how artists "attack" the physical spaces of Lehman College Art Gallery in the Bronx, designed by the preeminent Bauhaus modernist Marcel Brauer. The set of site-specific installations is a great primer on the art form for kids, who'll be bedazzled by the imagination of the 18 artists whose works "appear to grow out of the structure, hang down, wrap around or peer out from under" the architecture, itself a thing of beauty. Kids' workshops will take place on-site on Saturday December 15, from 10:30 to 11:30am. All ages.

Product keys include hyphens, but you can omit them when you enter your product key.
You can sign in to activate Office 365, Office 2016, or Office 2013
If Office is prompting you for a product key, you can enter your Microsoft account instead. Try selecting the Sign in with an active account instead link in the Enter your product key dialog box and sign in with the Microsoft account that you associated with Office. We can help if you can't remember the Microsoft account you use with Office.
Note: If you're using Office Professional Plus, you'll need a product key to activate Office.

text: Just another idea, Mandalorian PD. They setup a Sting operation and succeed in catching their guy(not sure if i want it to be a jedi or a rodian). Then in the same video they gain information about a death stick distributer/maker, and raid the guys base of operations. if you guys like the idea tell me, if you have any other ideas for the movie share them.
