Australian Bravery Awards
01 September 2013 , 9:15 AM by Rob Minshull
What does it take to have the courage to put the safety and lives of others before your own?
Australian Bravery Decorations recognise acts of bravery by members of the community. Bravery is a deliberate choice to go from a place of safety to a place of danger to provide help.
This year marks the 38th anniversary of the Australian honours system and today the national bravery award winners have been announced by the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce.
The Australian Bravery Awards are about celebrating those amazing people who selflessly put themselves in jeopardy to protect the lives or property of others.
Two of those amazing people who've been honoured today are Maryborough locals Gregory and Joan Darlington. They are talking to Warren Boland.

Wonderful reward for a great act of courage and compassion

Thank you Warren for doing such a lovely interview with my parents Greg and Joan. The interview showed their true personality - humble, down to earth, non judgemental people with strong beliefs and moral values. I am very proud of them and was delighted that they were so at ease with you and able to be themselves. Thank you.

Japanese winger Ryo says it is an ambition fulfilled to finally step out onto the Emirates Stadium pitch.
The Japanese winger made his competitive first-team debut for Arsène Wenger's side in Tuesday night's win over Shrewsbury in the Carling Cup.
Ryo created waves in the Eredivisie last season while on loan at Dutch outfit Feyenoord and is keen to impress once more for the Gunners.
"It has been my dream to play on the Emirates pitch," he told Arsenal Player. "It's great and I am really happy.
"One year ago I was still in Japan and playing high school football. I didn't even think I would be playing here so it was a surprise. I was working hard and now I am here I have to keep my feet on the ground and try even harder."
The Arsenal faithful were treated to their first home sightings of the 18-year-old for the visit of the League Two side, making their feelings clear before the youngster had even entered the pitch.
"It was a mixture of nervousness and being excited [before coming on]," he added. "I could hear the crowd before and then I got a bit more nervous.
"I could hear the calls and I was really happy. I wanted to respond by playing well and hopefully that can lead to the next step."
The full interview with Ryo is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses his first-team debut, his exciting style of play and how he has settled at the Club.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Ivan was an excellent guide. He was very attentive to everyone on board and always made sure that the current agenda was known as well as the next days agenda was available and announced. This helped us to plan for what we would be seeing and doing as well as what was coming up.

As a constituent of the state of Iowa I have watched, I have listened and I have read just about Every action,debate between said Committees, agencies or other over Iowa's continued problems as it relates to Flooding, Water quality, Non point source contamination.That is a Fact so I will point out 1 major failure by ALL, legislature to be included as they have the absolute power to correct the Failure.
Voluntary Conservation Compliance to address our states Flooding issues and Water Quality issues, Failure, Agriculture fears Mandatory Conservation Compliance regulations, just about every committee in one way shape or form has pushed for more regulations / standards as if those actions alone would address our associated problems. Has it and you should think about that answer and truly be honest with yourself. However I am going to point to each of you the Biggest Failure of All ,that is and has been and continues to be a major leading cause in OUR inability to address Iowa's Flooding issues and Non Point source issues. ( CREP ) <---- Remember this in every Water Quality discussion or Iowa Flooding discussion. You should because it is by far our Biggest weakness in addressing our states Flooding problems & Non Point source problems. That is a Fact and the Numbers don't lie.
Look at what the Program does, Look at the Federal Match Ratio to state contribution benefit. 4 TO 1
http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area ... &topic=cep
Our state is noted as the most altered landscape in North America, Our state is noted as 1 of the major contributing factors in the Gulf Coast Hypoxia issue, our state has seen continued Flooding and increases in Non-Point source contamination of our waters. Is it by accident that our states CREP program is also one of the weakest in the Country? I couldn't make this up if I tried. That is a FACT and you don't have to take my word for it just Review the Fact sheets of every state around Iowa who's CREP budget and state Contribution level that is greater than ours. http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area ... #P117_4518
With state budget surpluses as they are, WE as a state should have a CREP budget NO LESS than $150 million. That is a 1 time state investment of no less than 40 million that generates a USDA federal match of 4 to 1 putting our State CREP program budget at 160 million over a 15 year span.
You want to Solve Iowa's Flooding problems? You want to solve Iowa's Water Quality problems, You want to Solve Non-Point Source issues, You want to Solve over Regulation fears, ADVOCATE & ACCOMPLISH a 150 million dollar Iowa CREP budget.
Please share this info with said Committees and members of said committees and other legislative members.

I'm trying to catch Winn, I'm not there yet, but I'm gaining on him.
Anybody remember the pic he posted of his receiver drawer?
Clockwise from left.
3 piece weld up, 1 finished and 1 partially finished bent blank, 1 finished laser cut, 1 bent FAC flat and 6 Tapcos.
Come on 9/14
7 in a day.... geeeez.....
I've been over a month waiting for Global to get thier thumbs out of thier asses for 3 of them!!! WTF??? I feel like I'm being Joe-Kenned without a so much as a simple reach-around.
I gotta start going with flats.
I'm working on building a jig right now, and if I ruin too many flats trying to get it right, I'm buying a "Stickerman's Famous Jig"!
(Remember Zuckerman's Famous Pig from "Charlotte's Web"?)
Which flat do you like better, Tapco, or FAC???
The FAC has a little more authentic looking magwell dimple, it also comes blued.Quote:

Other than that, they are pretty much identical.
When I bought the FAC, (over a year ago) they were the only game in town, and at the time they were getting $49 for them.
They have since lowered the price to $39.
But at $19 ($15 on sale) Tapco gets my vote.
Sure, tacking them would accomplish the same goal.Quote:

With the pins in place you will only have to tighten them once.
While I was setting the flats up by measuring them, I had to to tighten and loosen them many times, before I was happy with the set up.
On top of that, I only received 3 of the serrated nuts (which do help quite a bit) so I was using a standard nut on one of the bolts.
All in all, the jig works very well and I'm very happy with it. :thankyou:
Ok, all of the jigs I am sending out in the next couple of days will have the pins permanently attatched to the jig and there will not be any measuring needed. I'll tack weld the four nuts if somebody wants, but the serrated nuts aren't that much to deal with.
So anybody that I told I was going to send a jig out today will have it shipped tomorrow with the updated design.
After that I will probably add it as an option with a price increase due to the extra setup time to get the holes in the exact locations. The price of the other jigs on the market will factor in also. Right now I can take an order and ship within 1-3 days as long as I have materials.

You will have to buy a whole bunch more to catch up with Winn. If Winn, sees all the receivers that you bent, he will surely get a jig and then the race will be on!Quote:

On Sunday, Pat Rice bade farewell to Arsenal after 44 years of loyal service as player, coach and assistant manager.
His team embodied the Irishman's steely character as they saw out a tense, tight 3-2 win at West Brom to secure third place in the table and, with it, a guaranteed spot in next season's Champions League.
As the players celebrated on the pitch after the game, captain Robin van Persie called for Rice to join them. In front of nearly 3,000 ecstatic supporters, the team gave their departing backroom member the 'bumps'. He then waved his goodbyes and left the pitch for the last time.
Our cameras were there to record the celebrations and final moments of this Arsenal legend's illustrious career

HTC DROID DNA Review
0. phoneArena 15 Nov 2012, 08:42 posted on
Rather than concocting something that seemingly would fit into the upper echelon of Big Red's lineup, the Taiwanese company is breaking new ground that no other manufacturer has been able to establish. Galvanizing to say the least, the HTC DROID DNA is a meticulous work of technology, as its 5-inch 1920x1080-pixel Super LCD 3 display is a monumental feat in itself that's unmatched at the moment...

Rivals Meet as Green Bay Plays at Milwaukee on Sunday
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Sunday's meeting between Green Bay and Milwaukee pits the two teams picked to finish first and last, respectively, in the Horizon League's Preseason Poll. Instead, it will be a meeting of the top-two teams in the conference on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Milwaukee's U.S. Cellular Arena.
The Phoenix enters with seven-straight wins after concluding non-conference play with a 98-62 win at Chicago State, and as the lone Horizon League team unbeaten in league play. The surprise Panthers stand 12-5 overall and at 2-1 in conference action after winning 84-75 at Oakland on Wednesday night.
The Green Bay winning streak – its longest since the 2003-04 team won nine-straight games – has helped the team to its best start in 17 years. During the streak, senior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) has averaged 20.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and four blocks per game while shooting 58.6 percent from the field. For the season, Brown is averaging 16 points and 3.5 blocks per contest.
The team's other All-League performer - junior Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) – is the reigning Horizon League Player of the Week for the fourth time in 2013-14. The 5-foot-11 guard is third in the conference in scoring (19.6 ppg) and is first in assists (5.3) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.9).
G – #24 Keifer Sykes, G, Jr., 5-11, 175
G – #35 Vincent Garrett, G, Sr., 6-6, 220
F – #4 Jordan Fouse, F, So., 6-7, 225
F – #15 Greg Mays, F, Jr., 6-9, 222
C – #21 Alec Brown, C, Sr., 7-1, 235
LIVE COVERAGE: Sunday afternoon's contest will be televised regionally by Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, and the broadcast can also be watch on the Horizon League Network. On WNFL 1440 AM, Matt Menzl (play-by-play) and Cordero Barkley (analyst) will bring fans the radio call.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Including a three-game sweep last season, Green Bay holds a 29-19 overall record in the all-time series with Milwaukee. The Panthers hold a 13-10 advantage against the Phoenix in Milwaukee. The 2013-14 sweep for Green Bay included a 74-54 road win in a game played at the Klotsche Center.
LAST SEASON'S MEETINGS: In last season's three-game sweep by Green Bay, Brown averaged 23 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game while Sykes posted 16.7 points per game. With Brown (13) and Sykes (12) combining to average 25 points after halftime, Green Bay outscored the Panthers by 40 points in the second half alone. The Phoenix held a plus-10 rebound margin and held Milwaukee to 34 percent shooting overall and just 19.7 percent from long range.
SECOND-HALF SPURTS: During the Phoenix winning streak, the team has been exceptional on both ends of the court during the second half. In the seven second halves, Green Bay a scoring margin of plus-19 while shooting 60.7 percent (122-201) and holding its opponents to only 29.9 percent from the field (59-197).
PLAYING THE PERCENTAGES: Green Bay enters Sunday's game leading the Horizon League and ranked seventh nationally in defensive field goal percentage (37.1%). Offensively, the Phoenix ranks second in the conference and tied for 43rd nationally in field goal percentage (.482). Green Bay has shot 55 percent or higher in each of the past four games.
HANDLE THE ROCK: Including back-to-back nine assist games, Sykes has games of 7, 8, 9, 9, 9 and 10 assists this season. In those six outings, he has just 10 combined turnovers. Against Virginia, he dished out a season-high 10 assists and committed two turnovers. In wins over Pepperdine (7), St. Francis (8) and Youngstown State (9), Sykes did not commit a turnover.
BLOCK PARTY: With eight blocks at Chicago State, Green Bay has now blocked 117 shots in 15 games this season. The 117 blocks are the fourth-most in a single season in program history, behind only the totals of the past three seasons. With an average 7.8 rejections per game, the Phoenix ranks second nationally in blocks per game behind only St. John's (9.0).
BROWN'S BLOCKS: Brown is having the best season of his career, which includes blocks. Averaging 3.5 per game, the 7-foot-1 senior ranks tenth nationally. With 52 blocks in 15 games in 2013-14, Brown is on pace to break his own school record of 89, set in 2011-12. Brown now owns each of the top-four spots on the program's single-season blocks chart (52, 59, 67, 89).
RECORD IN REACH: At the beginning of the season, the chances of Brown breaking Youngstown State's Damian Eargle's Horizon League record for career blocks would have seemed like a longshot, but due to his terrific start to the season the record is in reach. With 267 career blocks, Brown is now only 44 rejections shy of breaking Eargle's record of 309, set last season.
MOVING ON UP: Brown, the lone player in Horizon League history with 1,400 points, 700 rebounds and 250 blocks, now ranks ninth in Green Bay history in scoring (1,458 points) and fifth all-time in career rebounds (724). Sykes, with 1,168 career points, moved into 19th place with 21 points at Chicago State.
WINNING WEEKLY: With Sykes (Nov. 18, Dec. 2, Dec. 9) winning three times and Brown (Nov. 25) earning one award, Green Bay became the first team in Horizon League history to win four-straight player of the week awards. Since, Brown won again on Dec. 23 and Sykes won on Jan. 6, giving the Phoenix a program record six weekly awards this season. Sykes is the program's all-time leader in Horizon League Player of the Week awards with eight. He notched one honor as a freshman, three as a sophomore and now three more as a junior. The eight weekly awards are tied for second in Horizon League history, two behind Detroit's Rashad Phillips, who had 10.
SCORING GUARD: Sykes is off to a torrid start to his junior campaign. Averaging 19.6 points per game, Sykes is third in the Horizon League while leading the conference in assists (5.3). Against Virginia, Sykes became the first player in the program's Division I history to score 20 or more in six-straight games. The 5-foot-11 point guard has nine 20-point games this season, the first Phoenix player to have that many since Ryan Tillema had nine in 2008-09. The last Phoenix player to score 20 or more in 10 games in one season was Ryan Evanochko in 2005-06.
STREAKING SOPHOMORE: Sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.), the Horizon League's leading rebounder at 8.4 per game, has now grabbed five or more boards in 33-straight games dating back to his freshman season.
FOUSE OF FURY: Fouse had a terrific start to conference play last week. The 6-foot-7 forward had 15 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in Green Bay's win over Cleveland State. Fouse then had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 steals against YSU. After starting the season shooting just 39.7 percent in the first 12 games, Fouse made 12-of-15 shots last week, including a 7-for-8 effort against Cleveland State.
MAYSDAYS: Junior Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) has put together a nice start to his junior season, averaging 10.6 points, five rebounds and 1.1 blocks. In recent wins over Youngstown State and Chicago State, Mays is averaging 17.5 points on 68.2 percent shooting (15-22). Through 15 games, Mays ranks fifth in the league in field goal percentage (56.0%), eighth in blocks and 22nd in scoring. Twenty of Mays' 65 field goals in 2013-14 have been dunks, helping him to 55 career dunks entering Sunday.
HANDOUTS: Green Bay had 20 assists in Tuesday's win at Chicago State and is now averaging 16.6 assists per game. The Phoenix average leads the Horizon League and ranks 18th nationally. Sykes leads the conference at 5.3 assists per game while Fouse is one of just two non-guards ranking the top-15. Fouse had a career-high six assists at Chicago State.
SUCCESS AT SEVENTY: Through 15 games, Green Bay has a 10-0 record when scoring 70-plus points, including six wins totaling 85 or more. The Phoenix is 2-3 in the four games this season when it failed to reach 70 points. Green Bay's 77.9 points per game would rank as the highest in the program's Division I history.
ALSO UNDEFEATED WHEN: Green Bay is 10-0 when it commits the same or less turnovers than its opponent. The Phoenix is 9-0 when it makes more free throws than the opponent. The team also sports a 9-0 record when leading at halftime. Green Bay is 7-0 when shooting 50 percent from the field or better.

Editor's Note: Whether you're a tourist or an office worker in downtown Chicago, you can get sick of eating at chain restaurants all day. So we've started a series to get you the lowdown on where to find a great and affordable lunch.
Boni Vino Ristorante and Pizzeria is on a stretch of Van Buren just behind the Chicago Board of Trade, and the front windows are so dark that the interior has been a mystery to me for years. Because of that, I, little chicken Dennis, was sort of intimidated to go in. But eventually, little chicken Dennis needed pizza, and so he placed an order for some classic sausage and mushroom pie, and hoped for the best. What an interesting story.
The interior of the place just screams old school Chicago, with the red and white checkered vinyl tablecloth and everything. My suggestion is that if you're going to order a whole pizza, like me, call about 20 minutes ahead so you can preserve your precious lunch minutes, which I know are more valuable to you than those weird digital Bitcoins everybody's talking about.
Boni Vino serves traditional Chicago thin-crust pizza, and since I grew up on sausage and mushroom, I had to give my favorite a shot. There are several sizes, and the small 12" sausage and mushroom pizza ($14.25) is plenty for two people. As you can see from the upskirt photo, the pizza isn't cooked at a terribly high temperature, resulting in a soft doughy crust in the middle pieces; either that, or it's just not in the oven long enough. The tomato sauce is tart and overly acidic, which is a bit of a turnoff for me, and the sausage isn't the most flavorful in town either. I probably won't be going back to Boni Vinos unless I'm in a pinch. At least it's a pretty looking thing, just like me. Ahem. Ladies?
There are individual pizzas too, and the individual 7" cheese pizza ($5.25) is pretty small. There's not much to talk about—acidic sauce, same underwhelming crust, and mozzarella.
This hulk of a sandwich is Boni Vino's Italian sub ($7.95) could easily serve two. It's huge, and for someone who is craving a straightforward meaty sandwich, the layers of salami, mortadella, capicola, provolone, lettuce, and tomato will work well for you. The vinaigrette for the sub is served on the side, which is nice touch in case you're keeping the second half for later. It's hefty, meaty, salty, and chewy—no surprise M. Night Shyamalan twists on this big guy.
While the menu is pretty big, I stuck to lunch type items, so a plate of spaghetti and meatballs ($10.25) fits into that category if you're craving pasta. The noodles are overcooked, and though the meatballs have the right texture—they're a little spongy, tender, and soft—there's surprisingly little flavor to them.
I'm not entirely sure I'd go back. I want to like the pretty pizza, but unfortunately, looks aren't everything. Rather than have a Megan Fox (attractive and bland) pizza, my search is still on for the Jennifer Lawrence (attractive with substance) of pizza. They say even bad pizza is good pizza, but you know, I prefer Jennifer Lawrence. If she were pizza.

I'm finally getting around to posting info on how I did some of the different aspects of my costume - I hope it doesn't sound presumptuous - just wanted to make sure I am giving back since I got so much from this forum!
Cris sculpted the moon shaped piece and hanging thingies from ren-shape. The renshape is fragile so he then molded them and made resin casts.
Here is a pic of my finished one next to a resin cast:
As you can see, the finished shape of the hanging parts is a bit different from the resin cast. This is due to the method used to hang them. We didn't want to cut the resin to fit the different pieces together so Cris 1) cut the top out of the circle - this left the top in a "U" shape 2) he put a wood screw vertically into each of the arms of the "U"; 3) he attached a wire to one screw, threaded the wire through the hole in the moon shaped piece, and then attached it to the second screw 4) he then used bondo to cover the screws and wire. We didn't take progress shots (our bad) so here is a drawing of what it looked like:
The original casting had a flat back on the hanging pieces. The new casting you see in the first pic above has two "half-casts" of the hanging pieces placed back to back. We are working on an easier way to hang them - maybe by sandwiching something between the two pieces. We are also wanting to use a method that retains more of the shape of the original resin pieces.
To attach everything together, Cris used a piece of aluminum bent in a hook shape. He screwed the little moon shaped piece into the aluminum (black arrow) and then used two screws to attach the larger moon-shaped piece (white arrow). The piece then just hooks over the top of the cumberbund:
I painted it using the same technique I used on everything else: flat back primer, Testor's silver spray paint. Weathered with watered down black Glossies acrylic paint brushed on and then sponged off. Here is what it looks like on the costume (The Boba is Boba Max and the Jango is Steve from Richies Armor):
Hopefully that made sense - feel free to PM me or post here if you have questions!

The Renaissance was possible because of dissemination of ideas from the later 15th century. The availability of paper and the subsequent invention of the printing press in 1445 forever changed the lives of people in Europe and, eventually, all over the world. Previously, bookmaking entailed copying all the words and illustrations by hand, often onto parchment or animal skin. The labor that went into creating books made each one very expensive to make and acquire. The advent of the printing press helped produce books better, faster, and cheaper and led to disruptive cultural revolution.
We are experiencing a very similar phenomenon today. We are in the midst of digital disruption. The printing press of our time is platforms such as social, mobile, cloud and analytics that help propagate value to our customers better, faster and more cheaply than previously available options. So whether you are on board or not, this disruption is taking place; the two choices you have are: become a disruptive CIO or be disrupted.

Ice hockey
Eric Steig
It is well known that ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula have collapsed on several occasions in the last couple of decades, that ice shelves in West Antarctica are thinning rapidly, and that the large outlet glaciers that drain the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) are accelerating. The rapid drainage of the WAIS into the ocean is a major contributor to sea level rise (around 10% of the total, at the moment).
All of these observations match the response, predicted in the late 1970s by glaciologist John Mercer, of the Antarctic to anthropogenic global warming. As such, they are frequently taken as harbingers of greater future sea level rise to come. Are they?
Two papers published this week in Nature Geoscience provide new information that helps to address this question. One of the studies (led by me) says "probably", while another (Abram et al.) gives a more definitive "yes".
The somewhat different details of the two papers appear to have hopelessly confused many journalists (though the Christian Science Monitor has an excellent article, despite a somewhat misleading headline), but both are really just telling different aspects of the same story.
There is already strong evidence that anthropogenic forcing has played a significant role in the collapse of ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula, cause by significant melting at the surface during summer. The warm summer air temperatures have been related to an increase in the "Southern Annular Mode" (SAM), essentially the strength of the circumpolar westerlies. Increased CO2 is clearly part of the forcing of the observed positive trend in the SAM, though a larger player is likely to be ozone depletion in the stratosphere. Nevertheless, the short length of the observations – of both the ice sheet and climate – make it difficult to assess to what extent these changes are unusual. There is evidence for one ice shelf that a collapse like that observed in the 1990s has not occurred since at least the mid-Holocene, but comparable evidence is lacking elsewhere.
The connection between climate change and glacier response is more complex for the West Antarctic Ice Sheet than the Peninsula. As on the Peninsula, temperatures over the WAIS have risen significantly in the last few decades, but this is a symptom, rather than a cause. For WAIS, the culprit for the rapid thinning of ice shelves is increased delivery of warm ocean water to the base of the ice shelves. This isn't due to a warming ocean (though the deep water off the Antarctic coast line is indeed warming), but to changes in the winds that have forced more circumpolar deep water onto the continental shelf. Circumpolar deep water, at about +2°C, is very hot compared with the in situ melting point of glacier ice. In a series of papers, we've shown that the warmer temperatures observed over the WAIS are the result of those same atmospheric circulation changes, which are not related to the SAM, but rather to the remote forcing from changes in the tropical Pacific: changes in the character of ENSO (Steig et al., 2012; Ding et al., 2011; 2012).
As on the Peninsula, there is evidence of anthropogenic forcing for the WAIS too: anomalous conditions since the 1980s in the tropical Pacific are characteristic of the expected fingerprint of global warming (e.g. Trenberth and Hoar, 1997; Collins et al., 2010). Still, as on the Peninsula, the short length of the instrumental observations make it difficult to say anything very definitive about long term trends.

When do I use a NAFTA Certificate of Origin?
The NAFTA Certificate of Origin is used by Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the United States to determine whether imported goods receive reduced or eliminated duty as specified by the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
For forms completed online, this application is designed for goods whose origin is the U.S. or Puerto Rico only. The NAFTA Certificate of Origin is also available as a paperless document, which can be transmitted electronically as part of your Paperless Invoice package (where available). When shipping from the U.S. or Canada, prepare one original and two copies of the invoice. When shipping from Puerto Rico, prepare one original and one copy.
The NAFTA Certificate of Origin must be attached to an invoice if the shipment is valued at greater than:
US$1,000 and is being sent to a Mexican destination from Canada or the U.S.
$2,500CAD (Canadian dollars) and is being sent to a Canadian destination from Mexico or the U.S.
US$2,500 and is being sent to a U.S. destination from Canada or Mexico.
Shipments valued at less than the above amounts do not require a NAFTA Certificate of Origin. Instead, the customer should type the following statement on the shipment's invoice:
"I hereby certify that the good covered by this shipment qualifies as an originating good for purposes of preferential tariff treatment under the NAFTA."
For purposes of obtaining preferential tariff treatment, this document must be completed legibly (print or type) and in full by the exporter, and be in the possession of the importer at the time the declaration is made. This document may also be completed voluntarily by the producer for use by the exporter.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
whatever you do dont use matches.
or a lighter
it overheats the heat shrink and gives it thin spots.
also matches leave a corrosive residue.
Doc here,
The hotter the better...
I think mine is 1800 to 2500 watts..I paid like $25.00 for it at ACE like 3 years ago and use it daily...
Routing wires is a matter of personal preference once you overcome natural hazards to the bundle..If it's rigid, and safe, HOWEVER you do it is all good...
I sometimes use that same tube you have , But I get it in Chrome...
OR if you REALLY want to make it look good..get one of those Stainless Steel Hose cover kits, like they use on Dress up hoses, (the sleeves aren't really SS..but look like it..)
ON ANY harness I have to run UNDER a car, and especially on 4 wheel drives..I use 1 to 1 ~ 1/2 inch EMT conduit. (Ace, $2.00 for a 10 foot stick)
I bend it to mirror the frame rails and use standard Condulets and Street ELLs for pull and exit.. and use Liquid ~ Tite for exits to like fuel pump, fuel sender, tail and trailer lights..
Liquid~Tite is flexible gray plastic coated conduit mostly for motor make up applications to get the wires from EMT or Rigid Conduit to the motor make up box, and is waterproof..comes in all sizes It Also solves problems on Front clips that open forward and up..the conduit just flexes as it opens and shuts..)
EMT Conduit Also looks "Natural " on roll bars for Driving lamps..provided you bend it to hug the bar.
I mount the conduit with rigid conduit clamps to the frame with Tech screws..
If you do mudding, hit a lot of water and stumps, the wires are safely tucked away in the EMT conduit, not subject to corrosion, rot or being yanked out or shorted..About the only thing you should do is add an 1/8 Weep hole at each end (termination) to allow moisture out..
AND it's super Cheap too..like $20 bucks for all the stuff..
Just a few Ideas..your open to whatever your Imagination can perceive, Provided it's done in a safe workmanship~like manner..(Anti Chafe, rigid mounting,grommets, Stars, locks, AND separation from fuel/heat and rotating parts)
|Heat gun?? I've been using matches.
|There are a number of heat guns that work fine, however I would recommend getting one with a curved baffle at the end that wraps around behind the wire and deflects the air around the shrink tube and then back toward the gun. This deflector stops most of the heat from continuing beyond the wire and tube being worked and melting something else - like carpet or insulation on other wires. There are also a lot of colors and sizes readily available if you want to color match your insulation or color code your connections. I use plain black tubing myself but they all do a good job...
Heat shrink, routing wires, etc.
I'm about 3/4 complete wiring my 67 Scout. This is an offroad rig but does have alot of bling and leads a pampered life in a heated garage. I installed a complete new wiring harness using crimp on connectors. After looking at the project I decided to use solder instead to give me a more reliable and better looking job. Also, I'm looking for a better way to route the wires, right now I'm using the standard black tube with the slit down the side. So I have 2 questions.
Since I'm soldiering the wires I'll be using heat shrink. The Home improvment store has 3 different heat guns of various heat ranges, what is the best heat range for heat shink?
What is the best way to route wires? I want this job to look and work great, any ideas/pictures would be nice.

Wittenberg's Bullock Math Academy Welcomes Famed Math Magician Arthur Benjamin
Published Mar. 12, 2013
Springfield, Ohio – With a mind-boggling ability to perform rapid mental calculations faster than the calculator, internationally renowned mathematician and professor Arthur Benjamin will present "Mathemagics" at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 20, in Wittenberg's Bayley Auditorium inside the Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center. The event, which is free and open to the public, is the first in the newly created Community Speaker Series sponsored by the new Bullock Math Academy at Wittenberg.
Having appeared on several national programs, including The Today Show, CNN, The Colbert Report and NPR, Benjamin has also been profiled in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, Discover Magazine, Esquire, Wired, People and Reader's Digest, among others. His two TED talks have been viewed to date nearly 6 million times, and Reader's Digest has called him "The Math Whiz."
A professor of mathematics at Harvey Mudd College since 1989, Benjamin is the co-author with Michael Shermer of Secrets of Mental Math as well as co-author with Jennifer Quinn of Proofs That Really Count: The Art of Combinational Proof, which was named one of the Outstanding Academic Titles for 2005 by Choice, the principal review journal for academic libraries.
Benjamin earned a B.S. from Carnegie Mellon University in 1983 and a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences from Johns Hopkins University in 1989. His teaching has been honored repeatedly by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). In 2000, he received the MAA Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo National Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. The MAA also named Benjamin the 2006–2008 George Pólya Lecturer.
Founded in 2012, Wittenberg's Bullock Math Academy provides sought-after enrichment opportunities for local middle-school students who demonstrate a high aptitude in math. Students will start with the academy in 7th grade and stay with the academy through high school and beyond. Upon their high graduation, academy graduates will then receive a scholarship to help with college. The academy was established thanks to a generous investment by Springfield philanthropist Rosalyn Bullock, who credits her attorney, Daniel C. Harkins, for the idea, as well as her late husband's love of math.

MEXICO CITY -- Authorities are poised to get tough on littering in Mexico. A new tax on chewing gum manufacturers was recently proposed by the Institutional Revolutionary Party, which is set to come into power following recent elections.
The PRI has proposed a 50% tax on chewing gum to aid in the cleanup of discarded gum. PRI deputy Juan Manuel Diez Francos told El Universal, a local paper, "It's shameful and upsetting to see so much chewing gum stuck to benches and streets."
Diez says the government spends an average of 2 pesos and 50¢ on every piece of gum it removes from public areas. The cheapest pack of gum, or chicle as it is known in Mexico, costs only 50¢.
Mexico produces 92,000 tons of gum annually, and Mexicans chew an average 2.5 pieces a day. The proposed tax, according to officials, would go a long way toward the cleanup effort.
The gum tax proposal has drawn some sharp disapproval from the world press. With drug violence in the country a continuing problem, which has claimed 60,000 lives, critics see chewing gum litter as a trivial concern.
Mexico is not the only country considering a chewing gum tax as a litter deterrent. Ireland is considering an 11% chewing gum tax, as well. And a ban on the sale of gum in Singapore was enacted in 1992. It's considered illegal in China, too.

I write this with the greatest reluctance for fear that by drawing attention to the phenomenon I will shatter whatever gossamer thread of magic binds it to our grey reality, but: Nintendo has finally started to do this whole Virtual Console thing right. At least for the past couple of weeks. And it only took six and a half years to get here.
I know this is a fleeting moment that can't possibly last, so I urge you to savor it while you can.
In the past two weeks, between 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console, we've seen two Zelda games, all three 16-bit Kirbys, the sublime Mega Man X, and (alas) the NES port of Ghosts 'N Goblins. This of course explains why it has to be fleeting: Top-flight old games exist in finite quantities. At some point, much like fossil fuels, we'll run out of this nonrenewable resource.
I'm never going to beat this game, and I'm OK with that.
Really, though, the truly encouraging part about all of this isn't the fact that Nintendo is dumping a bunch of great games on us all at once rather than doling them out over the course of six or seven months as they would have done over the past few years. No, it's the sale model they're using.
Now, you can certainly argue that they're charging entirely too much for a lot of these games — they've kept the Wii VC pricing model, despite the fact that since the Wii debuted the entire model of digital distribution pricing has fundamentally shifted downward in response to things like Steam sales, Humble Bundles, and mobile phone/free-to-play software in general. Then again, as excited as people are getting over MMX and the Zelda Oracles games, you can argue that they don't need to race to the bottom. After all, demand drives price, and Nintendo has ownership or stewardship of a lot of games people demand.
Despite their adherence to the dreamy utopia of 2006 digital distribution prices, though, Nintendo is flinching ever-so-slightly by putting together its own take on sale bundles with week-long buy-one-get-one-half-price package deals. Last week, this manifested in the form of giving customers who bought two of the Kirby games the third one for free; this week, Ghosts 'N Goblins is half-off if you buy Mega Man X.
(It doesn't work the other way around, unfortunately — that whole "equal or lesser price" restriction happens with digital distribution just like it does at the grocery store.) Edit: Actually, it does work the other way around. But who's going to think to buy G'nG first when Mega Man X is on offer, too?
Baby steps, perhaps, but nice to see regardless, especially as it potentially portends a few things. One, if Nintendo wants to keep it up — admittedly, there's no guarantee of this — they need to release at least two games per sale in order to be able to offer one at a discount. Secondly, they've even been kind enough to extend this offer to people who have transferred their Wii VC licenses over to Wii U, meaning that instead of paying a dollar to download G'nG, we only have to pay 50 cents. It's easy to be sarcastic about that, but honestly it's such a pittance they could have easily just shrugged and said, "You guys are getting a break already," and I don't think anyone would have felt cheated; they didn't, though, which was downright decent of them.
Third, and most importantly, this week's sale extends to third-party software, meaning there's some slim hope of seeing more sales like this once Nintendo's well of first-party hits has run dry. Assuming any third parties besides Sega and Capcom (the two port whores, ever eager to peddle their archives on any and every platform available) are still on-board with the whole Virtual Console thing, of course. Let's say they are, though. What would be the ideal third-party Virtual Console bundles? A 3-for-2 on both the 8- and 16-bit Castlevanias comes immediately to mind (especially since Bloodlines still hasn't made it to VC in any form), but I'd also be down with a Sonic 3/Sonic & Knuckles twofer, a Tecmo three-pack featuring Mighty Bomb Jack, Tecmo Bowl, and NES Rygar (which, again, never made it to VC). At the pipe dream level, a Secret of Mana/Secret of Evermore combo pack would be great (heck, slap a fan translation of Seiken Densetsu 3 in there for good measure). Or how about extending the sales to 3DS eShop and bundling all three Final Fantasy Legends together?
No, no, wait, I've got it. Since they've announced Game Boy Advance for Wii U Virtual Console, they should roll up EarthBound with an official dump of the EarthBound Zero ROM and the unreleased official translation of Mother 3 (come on, you know it exists somewhere). Yep.
That's the magic of this whole thing: Even when Nintendo gets it right, we're all spoiled and demanding enough to ruin the occasion for ourselves with our unrealistic expectations. So much for savoring the moment.

Rather than lounge at the pool, sleep in or spend the day watching TV, as some college students do during summer break, four University of St. Thomas students spent part of their summer building an educational foundation for the writers of tomorrow.
From June 7-25, Hiba Haroon, Alexandra Wittenberg, Alicia Vasquez and Rebecca Mechler worked as interns with the Writers in the Schools (WITS) Summer Creative Writing Workshops, held at four local schools, including Annunciation Orthodox School. The synergistic WITS program pairs interns with teachers to lead classes of Kindergarten, first-grade and third-grade students through the creative writing process.
Children wrote stories, poetry, non-fiction and plays, and at the end of the camp, they published their work in bound anthologies. To celebrate their success, they also did performances and readings for their families and friends during the final week of camp.
Not only did these UST students gain experience working directly with young writers, but they also gained experience in educational development and creative arts administration.
WITS Volunteer Coordinator Jack McBride said that about 100 students applied for the 20 available internship positions, and having one-fifth of those interns from St. Thomas has allowed these UST students, all of whom were recommended by Dr. Janet Lowery, to shine.
"The interns from St. Thomas stood out from the crowd," McBride said of the intern selection process. "They've done an amazing job from Day 1, and they're an invaluable part of our program."
Interns had the opportunity to assist teachers with daily classroom projects and interact with the children, often teaching basic writing skills, guiding them through the story-writing process and helping them get their creative ideas down on paper. The student-interns were also given a chance to create their own lesson plans and teach a few classes themselves.
Wittenberg, a senior English major and creative writing minor, was able to read her favorite childhood book, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, to the class and have the Kindergarteners draw, paint and write their own version of the story. It was a rewarding opportunity, she said, and one that helped her gain valuable first-hand experience that she might not otherwise get by sitting through a lecture class.
"Implementing a successful plan definitely helped my confidence as a teacher and individual," Wittenberg said. "I have also definitely learned teaching strategies by watching the other teachers, and I've learned ways of calming down kids – the younger kids are very excitable."
Haroon, a senior international studies major, said she enjoyed every aspect of the WITS internship. The more she worked one-on-one with the first-grade students in her class, the more she found that not only was she able to help inspire creative writing in the children's learning process, but the students inspired her as well.
"The children's ideas are so profound and creative that they unconsciously inspired me," Haroon said. "Their minds are like sponges. They absorb everything. And they're also persistent on pursuing their own ideas. I am in complete awe of their capacity to embrace new ideas."
The interns who volunteer for the summer workshop often come from a variety of educational backgrounds, not just English and writing. But in the past five years, McBride said he has noticed that these workshops have often sparked an interest in many interns to continue down the path of education and teaching.
"A lot of our past interns have gone on to become full-time teachers or have pursued graduate programs in creative writing or education," McBride said. "The interns really get a lot out of the Summer Creative Writing Workshops, especially because they work in team situations alongside master writers and teachers."

Peonies can thrive for up to 100 years if maintained properly. Horticulturists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer questions about peony care, specifically how and when to divide the plant. To have additional plant and garden questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
Peonies do not need to be divided on a regular bases. They can be left undisturbed in the garden for 50 or more years. Large peonies can be divided if additional plants are desired.
September is the best time to divide peonies. By September, peony plants have been able to store adequate food reserves in their roots for the following year. The replanted divisions have several weeks to get reestablished at their new sites before the onset of winter.
Begin by cutting the peony stems near ground level. Carefully dig up the plants and wash or gently shake off the soil. Using a sharp knife, divide the clump into sections. Each section should have three to five buds (eyes) and a good root system. Divisions with fewer than three buds take longer to flower.
When planting, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system of the peony. Position the peony in the hole so the buds are 1 to 2 inches below the surface. Fill the hole with soil and firm the soil around the plant as the hole is filled. Once the hole is filled, water thoroughly. Space the peony plants 3 to 4 feet apart.
Mulch the newly planted peonies with several inches of straw or pine needles in late fall. Mulching prevents repeated freezing and thawing of the soil that may heave and damage young plants. Remove the mulch as growth resumes in the spring.
Cut back peony foliage after it has been destroyed by a hard freeze. In Iowa, late October or early November is generally a good time to cut back peonies. Cut off the stems at ground level. If the peonies experienced foliar disease problems, remove the plant debris from the area and destroy it.
Plants cut back in August or early September may have fewer blooms than those cut back in late fall.

The cost of college has reached a level where many qualified students, and their families, cannot afford the expense.
"There is no issue that worries the American public more about higher education than the soaring cost of attending college."
- http://www.issues.org/26.4/long.html
Students are graduating with more debt than ever before—recently surpassing the nation's credit card debt. In the US, 40% of students graduate with debt.
- http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2012/03/06/5-shocking-facts-about-student-loan-debt
Beginning with the recession in 2008-2009 and continuing through today, college graduates are often unemployed or underemployed.
- http://news.rutgers.edu/medrel/news-releases/2012/05/chasing-the-american-20120510
Yet, in spite of the rising cost, debt levels at graduation and increased competition for jobs, a college degree remains an important predictor of future success. College graduates can expect better employment prospects and higher salaries (nearly twice as much) than those without bachelor's degrees.
An investment in college still pays.
- http://cew.georgetown.edu/collegeadvantage
Even more important, in today's world an education that combines elements of the liberal arts with professional education is of particular value.
- http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2004/10/the-third-way/303512/
While many institutions are failing to provide the hard and soft skills needed to succeed, RWU is uniquely positioned to equip students with an academic experience that crosses traditional boundaries, blending the liberal arts with education for the professions.

I use Earthlink, which for some reason Netscape has a horrible time remembering usernames and passwords for in general. Perhaps it is the software that Elink uses (Typhoon something or other), who knows. Anyhoo, since I am constantly toying around with profiles, etc, I finally came up with a process that will remember all of your usernames and passwords. It is a PITA, but it does work, and once you have gone through it, Netscape v7.01 and Mozilla WILL remember your usernames and passwords. Well, I guess I should say they do for me, without fail.
I don't pretend to know why this procedure works, so please don't ask me. Just through trial and error I know that it does indeed work. I have used this on Windows 2K and Windows XP with Netscape v7.01 on each as well as nightly builds on each. It has never failed to work for me, and I sincerely hope it works for anyone else who tries it. I know it is time consuming as hell, especially if you subscribe to a lot of groups. But think of the time you will save in the long run.
Er, one BIG important extra..whenever I say "close Netscape", I mean close it entirely. This includes Quick Launch, and maybe even making sure there are no Ntscp.exe processes still running.
So, without further delay, here is the procedure I use:
STEP 1: Obviously, have pref set to remember usernames/passwords.
STEP 2: Create the newsgroup account.
STEP 3: Download groups list, enter username and password when asked
STEP 4: Subscribe to preferred groups, but don't get msg count yet
STEP 5: Close Netscape completely. Restart in *OFFLINE MODE*
STEP 6: *WHILE OFFLINE*, expand news server to show subscribed groups
STEP 7: Go online and click on first newsgroups listed under server.
STEP 8: When prompted, enter username/password. Headers will dnload.
STEP 9: Repeat steps 5 through 8 for the rest of the groups.
It is critical that you start up in offline mode (either via profile manager, or start browser first, go offline and then start mail), and that you only do one group at a time (and the initial subscription seperately as well). If you ever want to add another group at a later time, just follow the same steps .

I'm just starting out on heartgold and I need to know who to catch. Right now i have a lvl 11 pidgey and lvl 11 totodile
Hey, I've got a question: I'm currently trying to SR for a Shiny Articuno, and I've come to wonder: If the overworld pre-battle sprite of Articuno standing there isn't Shiny-colored, does that mean the Articuno can't be Shiny in battle? (Can the overworld sprite for Articuno in the Seafoam Islands even BE Shiny colored?)
I need help quickly! I just got the hm cut in heart gold and I dot know who to give it to. And I don't really want to give it to my croconaw
(apparently the Red Gyarados uses the same method as a chained Shiny, so yes, you can use the Red Gyarados)
Is there any way I'd be able to get an Electabuzz before beating the champ?
I follow what the sErebii website has say put 21 peak at wasteland and 25 peak at desert and wait for 30 days but still no sign however I have adjusted te DS Lite clock to 30 days later...so what went wrong?
