SBAI works to incorporate LGBTQI concerns across our events and and celebrations including coordinating the calendar for the University of Rochester's LGBTQI Awareness Month currently managed with the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity. LGBTQI Awareness Month was developed by SBAI Program Manager Angela Clark-Taylor, who presented the first LGBTQI Awareness Month at the University of Rochester in 2011.
During LGBTQI Awareness Month we hold our annual Rainbow Lecture addressing LGBTQI issues from a scholarly perspective and the Out in Reel LGBTQI Film Series that looks at these issues from a variety of perspectives. We also collaborate with other programs, departments, student groups, and community organizations to provide additional events and education on LGBTQI topics across the academic year.
The Susan B. Anthony Institute hosts Rocxxy: Summer Internship in Feminist Activism and Leadership for undergraduate students at the University. Rocxxy was developed by SBAI Program Manager Angela Clark-Taylor, and was launched in the summer of 2013. The program combines a professional internship experience with guest speakers, field trips to historic sites, and readings and reflections on feminist activism and leadership. This combination of academic, experiential, and professional experiences is meant to inspire and equip students to become stronger, more prepared leaders for social change. Some of the internship sites we include in the program are organizations that deal specifically with LGBTQI issues, such as the Gay Alliance of Genesee Valley and the New York Civil Liberties Union, and the program's curriculum spends time reading about and discussing LGBTQI issues and activism.

To be honest, I'd never heard of iHerb before now. It just so happened that my local drug store stopped carrying Mint Asure, a product I've been using for years. So onto the internet I went where I found a price impossible to beat on this product from, you guessed it, iHerb.com And now I'm sold. Plus they delivered it very quickly.

Instantaneous freshen breath! These capsules are a real godsend for those who can not stop smoking or loves to eat onions and garlic.
These are good

We like these after we have eaten garlic or onions. We found that they work well and taste very good. It's great to know that we can take care of this kind of problem just by swallowing a tiny capsule. I bought several boxes to make sure we don't run out.

These pills work great! I take 2-3 after I eat a meal and bam, I have wonderful breath! It's great! I highly recommend it. I don't wake up anymore with horrible morning breath either! Also, these guys shipped the package super fast, I think it took about 3 days to receive my order (with the standard shipping option). I highly recommend the seller and the product! A+++

You can eat all the mints you want, but they don't kill garlic breath. These things work from the inside out, and they really do work. I've been using them for a few years now. This is a good price from iHerb too.

Ivan Gazidis believes Arsenal are set up to strike for glory in the next few years.
Speaking at the Club's AGM on Thursday, the Chief Executive re-affirmed his view that the foundations for success had been laid over the past few years. Now the real target was within reach – trophies, glory and pride.
He said: "That ambition is shared by all of us at this table, that's me, Arsène, our majority shareholder Stan Kroenke and the whole board.
"It's also shared by everyone in this room – for Arsenal fans everywhere to be proud. To be proud of competing at the top of the game here and in Europe, winning trophies and doing it in a way that reflects our values and protects and promotes Arsenal for the long-term.
"We are in a position to look forward with real confidence in the new emerging landscape of the game," said Mr Gazidis.
"I have no doubt we can and will return the club to winning trophies. That's what this journey has all been about. That's our shared ambition.
"No-one at Arsenal has ever been content with second best and we're not going to change that now. We are now in a position to drive this great Club to new heights. We will do that by standing together, keeping to the values which have guided us through our history and being brave.
"Standing together we can make this Club successful, one of the best clubs in the world, and do it in a manner that will make you all, our supporters, proud."
The Chief Executive's view was backed up by majority owner Stan Kroenke when Arsenal.com caught up with him after the meeting.
He told us: "I am ambitious for the Club and we all share the same goal. The reason I am involved in sport is to win. It's what it's all about. Everything else is a footnote.
"I can assure you no-one is more ambitious than me. Arsenal is a tremendous club with a track record of consistent performance at the top level. That is very rare but we have managed it. I know that will continue as we move forwards.
"We have an exciting future and our goal is to win trophies."
Earlier manager Arsène Wenger spelt out his ambition in the simplest terms and called on everyone – players, staff and fans – to help achieve it.
"We want to win the Premier League," said the manager. "That's why we are here and that's what we want to fight for and, believe me, we'll give absolutely every drop of energy to achieve this year.
"The environment is competitive, difficult and challenging. So I think we have to be united to achieve it and I'm sure we can count on you for the whole campaign. Then we'll see what we deliver at the end of the season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Re: Any Creekmore owners?
Fellow Creekmore owners!
I had the pleasure of a long conversation with Lee Creekmore a couple of years ago. He works as a marine surveyor. From the conversation I learned that the Creekmore boats were built with whatever materials were available at the time. Also, there was a fair amount of customization. With so many boats having been built so many years ago, I can't fault Lee at all for not remembering how "Georgia" was put together!
One question that has come up on the forum has been about the location of hull numbers. Lee said that at the time "Georgia" was built, hull numbers were not required. Thus, "Georgia" -- built in 1962 -- has no number.
Last year, I had to repair a crack in the deck where one of the stanchion posts got knocked sideways. The deck core was synthetic but I have not found anyone who can give a name to the samples I showed them. Anyone on this forum know?
I have lots of pictures of the interior and exterior of "Georgia." If anyone wants to see particular features, I would be happy to send them as e-mail attachments. Greater resolution is afforded this way compared to the forum. Contact me at email@example.com
"Georgia" is holding up well. The cracks along bottom of the keel just outside the panels that form the centerboard slot have not reappeared. The boat is taken out of the water before freezing weather sets in so she can dry out. A little water drains out of the holes through the keel where the centerboard pivot bar passes. Some paper toweling is put the holes to help "wick" the water out (and replaced when wet). Sometimes I put the ShopVac to work on it.
I take particular interest in how "Georgia" was constructed and in the modifications that have been made over the years. It would be a pleasure to learn and share with you.
Best regards,
Creekmore 36
Re: Any Creekmore owners?
Hi MDcreekmore, I have a 1966 Creekmore 30 and I also live and sail in the Chesapeake Bay area. Windsong is foam-core glass deck and hull, combination fixed/swing keel. I think they made a couple of different 30's so not sure if ours are alike. If you're interested, I can send you a picture. My wife and I have owned her for over 20 years. She's currently on the hard for a complete overhaul. Would like to share info on design and maintenance issues.
Re: Any Creekmore owners?
Wow, I'm glad I did a little searching on Creekmores. I just purchased a 1980 Creekmore 45 that is about 80% complete and launched for the first time ever last October. Her name is Creeky and she is currently located in Boston Harbor. I am trying to dig up what history I can find on the boat as well as any detailed plans or specifications that may be out there. I am also trying to document my progress in the form of a blog when I have time. Please feel free to check it out and provide any comments you might have. Apparently my post count is too low to post an actual link in this forum, but you should be able to decipher this:
aboardcreeky.blogspot dot com
Also, if anyone has any wisdom, tips, or advice for someone jumping into a project this big please let me know. I see that there is a partial wiki page started on these boats, but it would be good to get some more info uploaded at some point. These boats seem to have a pretty cool origin.

Re: Any Creekmore owners?
Just happened upon this forum. Since 1969, we've owned the first Creekmore "Centerboarder", 36.5' sloop built by Ray in 1957.Third owners. Ray finished her himself to be prototype for a number of hulls to follow which owners could finish themselves. Ours has varnished mahogany cabin trunk and sparse basic interior. Original Daimler Benz diesel runs like new. Hull hand laid cloth with no core. Extremely thick and strong. Ray built a round fiberglass mast and boom with masthead rig. We put in an aluminum mast/boom stepped on keel about 35 years ago, changing to 7/8ths rig which eliminated weather helm and improved sailing immensely. She sails like a dream. We have a copy of Rays original brochure which clearly shows our boat. We've sailed the New England coast for 44 years in this boat. Boat's name is "Nepenthe" from Stonington, CT.

I would enjoy chatting with other Creekmore owners, particularly with the owners of sister ships.

Look Out, 4G LTE -- 5G Trials Set for 2013
Tiffany Kaiser

(Source: sbnation.com)
The UK will test 5G beginning next year
If you recently picked up a smartphone like the
Samsung Galaxy S3
iPhone 5
and reveled at the "lightning-fast" 4G LTE network, be prepared -- the next best thing is already on its way.
According to
Giga OM
, 5G network connectivity will begin testing in the United Kingdom next year. The testing will take place at the University of Surrey's Centre for Communication Systems Research (CCSR) in the UK.
The project is expected to cost around £35 million ($56 million USD), where about £11.6 million will come from the UK government and the other £24 million will be provided by a group of tech companies, including Samsung, Huawei, Fukitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde-Schwarz, Telefonica Europe and AIRCOM International.
The CCSR has been working on 5G for a few years, but it is just now coming together to work with the other companies to make 5G a reality. According to Professor Rahim Tafazolli, head of CCSR,
the new network
will be spectrum-efficient and energy-efficient. It will also be faster, with cell speeds bumped up to a capacity of 10Gbps.
"Mobile data traffic is increasing exponentially year-on-year," said Tafazolli. "The amount of spectrum that we have now is not sufficient to carry all the traffic. We are soon going to run out of capacity, even with LTE, unless there is a huge amount of spectrum made available -- and if we are doubling traffic every year, then even twice the spectrum [that is currently available] is not sufficient.
"We have developed many technologies that are suitable for 5G using computer simulation and mathematical analysis and what this test bed allows us is to integrate all these technologies together and optimise them end-to-end and take them to standards afterwards. We are looking at the processors, protocols, algorithms and techniques...we won't try to optimise the hardware implementation -- that is something industry will do. We have developed the know-how."
According to
TechWeek Europe
, a 200Mbps 5G network trial will begin at CCSR in 2013. The 5G network won't likely be launched to the public for another 10-15 years.
"We're bringing all the major stakeholders together and we are going to decide on the advanced technologies and test them end-to-end. Once we are happy with the set of technologies that we have developed, in terms of performance, then we will push that particular technology towards standardization."

Hugh Jackman never seemed to be bothered by rumors claiming he's secretly gay, but the "Les Miserables" star says the constant chatter has finally gotten under his wife's skin.
"Just recently, it bugs her," Hugh, 44, told The Hollywood Reporter of his wife's (Deborra-Lee Furness, 57) frustration with online buzz questioning the validity of the couple's 17-year marriage and her husband's sexuality. "She goes, 'It's big. It's everywhere!'"

Hugh met his now-wife - also an accomplished actress -- on the set of Australia's "Corelli" (a TV drama set in a prison) in 1994, and the actor said he was immediately attracted to her - though he was freshly out of a "difficult relationship" and thought he'd stay single for a while.

"When I met Deb, it was 10 times better than my single life," he said. "She was very beautiful. She was unbelievably fun -- this energy, this spirit -- irrepressible. And she had a confidence in herself. I had a massive crush on her instantly."
Part of his attraction stemmed from their vastly different temperaments.

"She was sort of the opposite of me. I was very 'Even Steven,' and she was thrilling to me," he said. "I was always really attracted to that."
The couple tied the knot in 1996, and Deborra-Lee put her career on hold to be a wife and eventually, the mother to their two adopted children.

However, Hugh hinted she may soon step in front of the camera once again.
"It feels like she needs to get back into it. She needs to act again," he said.

National Park & Preserve
Denali, the "High One", is the name Athabascan native people gave the massive peak that crowns the 600 mile-long Alaska Range. Denali is also the name of an immense national park and preserve created from the former Mount McKinley National Park. The changes in names and boundaries that have occurred over the years can be confusing, as they indicate the way various parts of the park and preserve may be used today. In 1917 Mount McKinley National Park was established as a wildlife refuge. The park and the massif including North America's highest peak were named for former senator—later President—William McKinley. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) enlarged the boundary by four million acres and redesignated it as Denali National Park and Preserve. At six million acres, the park is larger than Massachusetts. It exemplifies interior Alaska's character as one of the world's last great frontiers for wilderness adventure. It remains largely wild and unspoiled, as the Athabascans knew it.
The Mountain
Mount McKinley has been called the Alaskan landscape's most impressive feature. While you may not see this great peak during your stay here, it is there! Mount McKinley is the highest mountain on the North American continent. Measured from the 2,000-foot lowlands near Wonder Lake to its summit, this mountain could be called the tallest in the world. The vertical relief of 18,000 feet, greater even than that of Mount Everest, tops out on the snowy summit at 20,320 feet. McKinley's north summit is North America's second highest peak at 19,470 feet. Temperatures at the summit are severe even in summer. Winter lows at just 14,500 feet can plummet below -95°F! During storms, winds can gust to more than 150 miles per hour. Permanent snowfields cover more than 50 percent of the mountain and feed the many glaciers that surround its base. The mountain's granite and slate core is, in fact, overlain by ice that is hundreds of feet thick in places.
Mount McKinley reigns in lofty isolation over the Alaska Range, that magnificent 600-mile arc of mountains that divides south-central Alaska from the interior plateau. Its life as a mountain range began some 65 million years ago, the result of the Denali Fault, North America's largest crustal break. This fault, where two tectonic plates have moved against each other, stretches for 1,300 miles from the Yukon border down to the Aleutian peninsula. There, the Alaska and Aleutian Ranges meet in a mad jumble of peaks that includes active volcanoes. Earthquake tremors both mild and moderate are frequent occurrences in the park and preserve. The building of these massive mountains began out of a flat lowland. The material that Earth's inner turmoil thrust up has subsequently been eroded, sculpted, and weighed down by huge masses of ice. Numerous glaciers still radiate from the high peaks of the Alaska Range, where the frigid temperatures prevent their melting. Some of the glaciers are visible from the park road. The debris-laden snout of the 35-mile-long Muldrow Glacier lies within a half mile of the park road. The park and preserve owes its beautiful landscape contrasts—wide, low plains and dark, somber mountains, brightly colored peaks and sheer granite domes—to the Denali Fault. Geologists say that Mount McKinley still rises.
The Land
More than 430 species of flowering plants as well as many species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others grace the slopes and valleys of Denali. Only plants adapted to long, bitterly cold winters can survive in this subarctic wilderness. Deep beds of intermittent permafrost—ground frozen for thousands of years— underlie portions of the park and preserve. Only the thinnest layer of topsoil thaws each summer to support life. After the continental glaciers retreated 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, hundreds of years were required to begin building new soils, and to begin the slow process of revegetation. Denali's lowlands and slopes consist of two major plant associations, taiga and tundra.
- Taiga (pronounced ti-ga), a Russian term meaning "land of little sticks", aptly suggests the scant tree growth here near the Arctic Circle. Much of the park and preserve's taiga lies in valleys along the rivers. White and black spruce, the most common trees are interspersed with quaking aspen, paper birch alder, and balsam poplar. Stands of deciduous trees occur along streamside gravel bars or where soils have been disturbed by fire or other action. Woods are frequently carpeted with mosses and lichens. Many open areas are filled with shrubs such as dwarf birch, blueberry, and a variety of willow species. The limit of tree growth occurs at about 2,700 feet in the park and preserve. For comparison, the elevation at the park hotel is 1,750 feet. Above the tree limit, taiga gives way to tundra.
- Tundra is a fascinating world of dwarfed shrubs and miniaturized wildflowers adapted to a short growing season. There are two types, moist tundra and dry tundra, with myriad gradations in between.
- Moist tundra varies in composition: some areas contain tussocks of sedges and cottongrass; others contain dwarfed shrubs, particularly willows and birches.
- Plants of the dry tundra live scattered among barren rocks at higher elevations. Tiny highlands plants grow closely matted to the ground, creating their own livable microclimate. Flowered dryas, dwarf tireweed, moss campion, dwarf rhododendron, and forget-me-not (Alaska's state flower) dot the rocky landscape, offering stunning summer displays of delicate blossoms. Although small in stature they loom large in importance because their nutrients provide food that sustains even the largest species of park wildlife.
The History
Many generations of native Athabascans wandered over this region before Caucasians began to discover and explore it. Nomadic bands hunted lowland hills of Denali's northern reaches spring through fall for caribou, sheep, and moose. They preserved berries for winter, netted fish and gathered edible plants. As snows began to fall they migrated to lower elevations, closer to the river valleys' better protection from winter's severe weather. Much of the Alaska Range formed a mighty barrier between interior Athabascans and Cook Inlet Athabascans to the south.
The park was originally established to protect its large mammals, not because of majestic Mount McKinley. Charles Sheldon conceived the plan to conserve the region as a national park. Naturalist, hunter, and conservationist, Sheldon first traveled here in 1906 and again in 1907 with a packer and guide named Harry Karstens. Karstens later made the first ascent of Mt. McKinley's south peak and would serve as the park's first superintendent. Sheldon devoted much of his 1907 travels to studying boundaries for the proposed national park that would include territories suitable for a game refuge. When Sheldon returned to the East in 1908, the Game Committee of the Boone and Crockett Club, of which he was chairman, launched the campaign to establish a national park. Largely due to these efforts, Mount McKinley National Park was established in 1917. Its populations of Dall sheep and other wildlife were now legislatively protected. However, Mount McKinley itself was not wholly included within the boundaries.
Sheldon wanted to call the park Denali, but his suggestion would not be followed until 1980. That year the boundary was expanded to include both the Denali caribou herd's wintering and calving grounds and the entire Mount McKinley massif. More than tripled in size, the park became Denali National Park and Preserve. It was also designated an International Biosphere Reserve significant for its potential for subarctic ecosystems research. Predator-prey relationships exist in balance here as they may have existed elsewhere before human intrusions. Denali National Park and Preserve remains a subarctic wilderness of wildlife and glaciated mountains.

The essential shape of the enterprise marketing landscape hasn't changed much over the years. In last week's Revisiting The Enterprise Marketing Software Landscape, I dissect technologies into the four basic categories of marketing management, brand management, relationship marketing, and interactive marketing. Consumers are rapidly changing behaviors, and marketing as a practice is evolving dramatically, but the technologies that marketers buy continue to come in essentially the same containers.
Notice, however, all of the decision management systems employed across the marketing landscape. From interaction management to online testing to recommendations to contact optimization, marketers are using automated systems to make an increasing number of customer-facing decisions. Viewed from the perspective of those decisions, the landscape of marketing technologies is shifting under our feet.
So is it time for a new take – say, customer decision management (CDM) – on marketing technology?
Why Do We Need Customer Decision Management?
Given that we're already awash in marketing technology, do we need another three-letter acronym? Yes, because customers are:

Arsène Wenger admits that Manuel Almunia would have felt "jobless" during his long spell on the sidelines.
The Spanish goalkeeper has not featured in the first team since September's 3-2 home defeat against West Brom after suffering an elbow injury in that game and then picking up an ankle problem.
Almunia's future has been the subject of speculation this month but he returns to the squad for Sunday's FA Cup tie against Huddersfield and Wenger is happy to have him back.
"He has been injured for a long time and in a situation like that you feel jobless," said the manager, who revealed that Almunia played through pain in his last appearance.
"Of course I feel for him. In fairness it [his elbow injury] was against West Brom and that was a long, long time ago. He came out in the second half, but I left him the choice at half-time. I asked him how he felt and credit to him.
"After that when he was nearly ready he injured his ankle in training [on the day of Man U game].
"He said he wanted to stay on [against West Brom]. I do not reproach him for that at all and credit to him. But you never know, when you have a little injury you feel you can go on.
"I don't know how many times the doctor said Nigel Winterburn was finished and could not go on and you have to take him off. And Nigel said 'I play' and he played."
Some have doubted whether Almunia would ever pull on an Arsenal shirt again after Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny staked their first-team claims in his absence. But Wenger always felt that the Spaniard had something to offer.
"You [reporters] thought that [he would not play again], but I never thought that.
"We have four keepers - Szczesny, Fabianski, Almunia and Mannone. All the four are good. You can always look and feel sorry for the three [who are not playing]."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|69 widetrack
My suspicions where now up, but I thought, keep an open mind, so I did. Finally it came to taking the readings on a panel selected by the trainer and we patiently watched. It came up with the right car, the right color and even the right variant...needless to say I was impressed and felt my color matching days where over....until noon came around. Several of us took the camera outside and took readings of our own cars, I was driving a 1987 Eldorado, straight white (tough color to match), another fellow had a new Ford truck, metallic Red with pearls (also a tough color). The camera was then hooked up to the computer and formula's where run...My Cadillac came up as a white, but from a Nissan. My college's truck apparently was painted with a Dodge red and didn't have any pearls in the formula just metallic's. We also checked the color chosen by the camera to color chips...it was a joke. We brought this to the attention of the instructor, he was upset that we used his $10,000 dollar camera without permission and tried to explain why the camera came up with the readings it did. As you mentioned, the reasons given where, not clean enough, panel area not flat enough, age of the paint, camera wasn't calibrated and so on.
I asked if he would calibrate the machine, clean the area of both vehicles that he wanted to take a picture of and make everything perfect and see what happened. My car was now a Toyota white and the Ford truck was Jaguar's red....re-shoot the panel, same area and again, totally different formulas from different manufacturer's. The instructor tried to explain why but my faith was gone.
We got our cameras and we tried them out in the field, they had a terrible record for blendable match on metallic's and pearls and on solid colors, it was a little bit better but not worth the investment and I stopped using it. I had several customers that had to have this camera and spent the money to get it...every one of these camera's within 6 months was collecting dust in the corner or tucked away in the manager's office.
If that piece of equipment was as good as it was professed to be, all body shops would want one. The last company had 3 cameras and we couldn't even loan them out to shops, they knew how expensive they could be with mixing formulas that it spit out and ending up throwing the paint away because it wasn't even close.
This is one of my personal experiences with the color matching camera and for the amount of money that they initially want for them and their ability to match colors, it wasn't viable. There may be people that use them, but I will guarantee that they have an excellent painter in their shop that still tints colors by eye because the camera is a machine, the human eye is what looks at cars driving down the street.
|Spray Machine
|The biggest problem with the cameras is finding a spot on the car that is perfectly flat. Almost impossible to find places on a car that are not convex, concave, curved/rounded to some degree. If you can find a flat spot the cameras will generally give you a blendable match. If your trying to take a read off a spot that isn't perfect it will read incorrectly, outside light getting in the exposure cause by not sitting perfectly flat at a 90 degree angle will affect the scan. Trunk lids, roofs, hoods that appear more or less flat have some degree of curve. The more curved the surface the more incorrect the scan will be. Also the camera must be absolutely dead still when reading. Even the tiniest vibration/movement will kill a read, nearly impossible to do when you have to hold the camera in your hands, they really need a remote to activate the camera to eliminate hand shake and need the manufacturers to make a perfectly flat spot somewhere on every vehicle. Its like a camera with a slow shutter speed, if not held perfectly still the 'picture' it takes/reads/scans will be blurred, it cannot focus on the type,size and reflective properties of the metallics in the surface your trying to read. No good for scanning tri-coats. If you really want to mess with the cameras mind scan a chrome bumper or a window!
you mean "flop", right?
make sure the car is clean and if the paint is oxidized to then compound the area you are color matching. It helps to have an extra set of eyes to compare opinions with as well. Each person's eyes are unique in that certain people pick up certain colors more than others. You might see something that seems a little "blue" to be a match but someone else might see something else, so don't be afraid to ask multiple people what they think and try to avoid deciding too quickly. When you see the chip you'll know right away but just make sure.
|69 widetrack
Glad we could help Russ, I'm fairly confident that you'll be able to find a color chip that's going to help you out. Being that it's a metallic color, look at the chip in the sunlight (if possible) and check the color straight on and at a 45 degree angle. This way you can also check the color on what's known in the industry as the "flip". Different metallic's have different effect on the color when it's looked at from different angles. If all looks well but it's just a little darker or a little lighter, not to worry, that can be compensated for by using more air pressure to lighten the color or less air pressure to darken the color.
Hope this helps.
Awesome, thanks guys! I'll have to ask about the variant chips next time I go...
I've never gotten good results from the guns.
The sample color chips have been dead on for me
so that's what I compare by.
|69 widetrack
Maybe I forgot to mention it Brian but, I've seen a cross eyed, color blind German Shepard wearing a welding helmet do a better job of matching colors than the computer camera thing! Seriously, a painter that has current variant decks and can see color never has a problem matching paint...the computer camera in my opinion was a tool that very quickly turned into gimmick in the eyes of shops that had true technicians and in many cases separated painters from applicators. I've seen the camera work on solid colors about 20% to 25% of the time and forget metallic's or pearls. Your better off taking the time to pick the closest variant and either blending it or, if it's still not quite right, tinting the color to give the painter a blendable match. Apparently the software for the camera's in water born base coat is much better, from my experience, it may be somewhat better but it isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Ray, I was wondering, what do you think about those color matching computer camera things?
|69 widetrack
Sorry, I forgot to mention, most colors these days have variances, by that I mean that you can have 1 paint code with numerous formulas, before you get paint mixed, ask your paint jobber if there are variances to that particular color...all they need to do is punch up the code in their computer and it will tell them how many variances that color has...it will also tell them where PPG has put all the variant chips in there variant deck box. Your paint jobber can than pull out his variant deck and you can match the closest variant to the color you have. The nice thing about the variant chips is that they are sprayed on and not inked which means that what the variant chip looks like is what your going to get when it's properly mixed by your paint jobber and properly sprayed.
Hope this helps.
|69 widetrack
The color gun sucks...I've tried to use DuPont's, it doesn't work at all, PPG's is just as good...it doesn't work at all either, especially metallic colors. If you have a paint code and your not sure if it's correct, have the paint store mix up a small amount, if it's right they can just add it to what your buying. For example if a quart is 1,000 grams, have them mix 100 grams, if the color is right have them mix another 900 grams and you have your quart, or pint or what ever size container you want. If the color is wrong, then you can try the code that the color camera magically came up with. Hold your breath and keep your fingers crossed, say 5 hail Marry's, 3 Our Fathers and buy a rabbit's foot before you go with the formula that the camera spits out. My experience is that the camera will give a blendable match between 5% and 10% of the time.
Oh did I mention, I don't trust the camera!
Paint match Q
Hi All,
I went by my local PPG dealer (Tasco) and took a painted radiator support panel with me so they could check it against the color code I was given. The car was allegedly painted a 1998 Range Rover "Charleston Green Metallic", code 610-HET #48180 and it seemed to be a close match to the tiny chip in their books. When they put the color gun on it, it only came back a 35% match and was closer to a Nissan color. The car was painted several "owners" ago and I have not been in direct contact with him, but going through one of his friends who was an intermediate "owner". Should I be worried or just go with the 48180? This would be for interior trim and engine compartment...

AMES, Iowa – Iowans can beat the winter blues with the Eco Family Virtual Conference. Families can save money on household expenses, spend quality time together and live green in 2013 by participating in the conference, said Kristi Cooper, conference organizer and family life specialist with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
"With this program, families meet virtually once a month with instructors and other families to share ideas and experiences, strengthen connections with others and learn how to save money and the environment," Cooper said.
The four remaining sessions will cover the following topics:
"With a virtual conference, people can get connected to others with similar interests without adding to their carbon footprint by driving to an event. Also, this is a way for people to create community close to where they live if they choose. They can invite their family, neighbors and friends to view the webinar together in their home," Cooper said.
Families can register for all four sessions for $70, or register for individual sessions at $15 per session. To register, visit http://www.extension.iastate.edu/linn/news/live-green-2013.

Tonight at the Metro Atlanta Beekeepers meeting the speaker was Dr. Keith Delaplane speaking on CCD. Interestingly the media was there. I saw camerapeople from two TV stations and he was asked to go to a different room after his talk with us to speak to CNN.
I'm only the messenger and don't necessarily know that he has all the answers (personally I think Michael Bush has all the answers :-D)
This is what I got from what he said:**Honeybees have been on a steady decline in this country over many, many years, due increasingly to our agricultural practices no longer requiring animals to feed in the fields, so less crops for the honeybees.
**With the advent of the varroa mite, beekeeping went from an organic, hands off endeavor to a chemically dependent endeavor. This has resulted in the quality of queens going down, with many queens living only 6 months - 1 year; finding drone brood among worker brood, and having high supercedure rates.
The issues contributing to bees disappearing from hives are some not in our control (environmental pesticide usage, the presence of mites in the world, viruses, etc). However the issues that we can change include:**in hive pesticide use**old comb**migratory stress**nutrition**IPM
He encouraged using no pesticides in the hives and replacing old comb regularly.
He said that migratory stress is about how the honeybee in one setting works about 6 - 10 weeks per year during the honey flow. Commercial beekeepers by moving their hives from flow to flow as the bee to work many 6 - 10 week periods in the year, thus wearing the bees out and making them more subject to disease.
He mentioned a commercial beekeeper in N Georgia (Bob Binnie) who feeds each hive 5 gallons of syrup every fall and Dr. Delaplane said that we are not feeding our bees enough, thus resulting in poor nutrition.
He strongly encouraged IPM - screened bottom boards, powdered sugar shakes.
He cited studies done at UGA for all of what he had to say and presented graphs and data to support his talk. In general he doesn't think that CCD is anything new, but is the cumulative result of chemical beekeeping.
A kid in the audience asked if cell phones were the problem and he smiled and simply said, "No."Linda T reporting from Atlanta

I know I've already posted a couple of times for basic advice, but my projected plans are changing as I do more research. I'd really appreciate some advice.
I have a BA in Philosophy and an MA in Social and Political Thought, both studied on campus at universities in the UK. I am looking for a career change and I would like to see some of the world before I get too old to make the change (I'm 37). I am planning to do a CELTA course and find work abroad, then maybe consider doing a higher qualification when I've got some experience.
Will my MA help me to get a better teaching job abroad once I have done a CELTA course? What are the best countries to apply in to take advantage of this? What sort of institutions?
I am also wondering about the relative benefits of doing the CELTA course at home in Manchester or in the country where I intend to work. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks, Michael.

Intensives in the Work That Reconnects
Joanna offers deepening experiences for those who have attended an introduction to the Work That Reconnects in a weekend workshop or a course (see Joanna's public teaching schedule). These 10 or more day "intensives" offer theory and practice in despair and empowerment, deep ecology, and deep time work. Intensives at other locations are often sponsored by local organizations and groups (see calendar).
Each intensive is distinctive in character and in the discoveries we make, while adhering to the following goals:
- To enlarge our vision and capacity for the part we each can play in the shift from the industrial growth society to a life-sustaining civilization.
- To understand cognitively and to integrate psychologically and spiritually the guiding assumptions of the Work that Reconnects.
- To build strong, lasting connections with sister and brother warriors for life on Earth, and to uncover the courage and creativity that mutual trust brings forth.
- To review our lives and work, assessing our gifts, and clarifying the roles we want to play in the healing of our world. An intensive provides conceptual and process tools to apply in teaching, counseling, and organizing. It is not so much training in facilitating groups as an immersion in the new understandings it generates.
If you have experienced a workshop or a course with Joanna or you have been introduced to the Work That Reconnects by someone else, and you are interested in further information on an intensive, please workthatreconnects[at]joannamacy.net.

A joint investigation conducted by the Seneca County Sheriff's Office, New York State Police, Violent Crime Investigation Team, Seneca County District Attorney's Office and the New York State Department of Financial Serv ices, Insurance Frauds Bureau resulted in the arrest of Karl H. Karlsen, age 52, 885 Yale Farm Road, Romulus, New York on the charge of Murder in the Second Degree. It is alleged that on November 20, 2008, Karl H. Karlsen intentionally caused the death of his son, Levi, age 23, at 885 Yale Farm Road, Romulus, New York.
Karl Karlsen
Seneca County Sheriff Jack Stenberg reported that on November 20, 2008, at 4:00 p.m., Seneca County Sheriff's Deputies and South Seneca Ambulance personnel responded to a 911 ambulance call from Cindy Karlsen, the wife of Karl Karlsen reporting that her stepson was trapped underneath a vehicle he had been working on in an adjacent barn. Arriving Sheriff's Deputies were met by a distraught Karl Karlsen who reported that Levi was working underneath a jacked vehicle when he and his wife left to attend a family event at around noon on November 20, 2008. Karlsen reported that when they returned home at about 4:00 p.m., he went to the barn to check on Levi and found the vehicle had fallen off the jack and Levi was lying motionless pinned underneath the vehicle. Levi Karlsen was transported to Geneva General Hospital by South Seneca Ambulance and pronounced dead on arrival. "There were no indications of foul play and from all signs this appeared to be a very tragic accident," said Sheriff Stenberg. In March 2012, Sheriff's Investigators developed new information that indicated Levi's death may not have been accidental. According to Sheriff Stenberg, i t was determined that a substantial life insurance policy was taken out on Levi days before his death naming Karl Karlsen as the sole beneficiary. Also, circumstances surrounding the accident surfaced suggesting that the actions of Karl Karlsen resulted in the truck falling and pinning Levi underneath. Karl then left the residence to attend a family event, returning four hours later. He then went into the barn, pretended to discover the accident, and told his wife, prompting a 911 call. "To think that a father could cause a vehicle to fall off a jack crushing his son and then leave for four hours knowing all the time that his son was pinned under the truck apparently dead is unconscionable. Then, to put on an act for arriving first responders was part of a well-planned event staged by Karl Karlsen" Stenberg said. The Sheriff's Office teamed up with New York State Police Violent Crime Investigation Team and initiated an eight-month investigation that resulted in the arrest Friday night of Karl Karlsen on a charge of Murder in the Second Degree. Additionally, Sheriff's Investigators, State Police and Insurance Fraud Investigators are also looking into a 1991 fire in California which claimed the life of Karlsen's first wife, Christena. "We will be talking with Investigators in California in the coming days as there are certain events surrounding the death of Karlsen's first wife that cause us concern," said the Sheriff. Stenberg credited the excellent team work and cooperation of his Deputies, Troopers and Investigators working on the case. "This has been difficult on all the investigators working this case and I am proud of the professionalism they displayed in being Levi's voice," said Sheriff Stenberg. Karlsen was arraigned before Town Justice Brian Laird in the Town of Seneca Falls Court and committed to the Seneca County Jail without bail. The investigation into these incidents is continuing.

Pemmican – Bird or Magical Food?
I used to think a pemmican was a kind of bird. Seriously, when I read The Call of the Wild, I'm pretty sure they talked about giving their sled dogs pemmican and I thought they were just tossing the dogs birds. I finally found out what it was the other day when I came across this website for U.S. Wellness Meats. It turns out that pemmican is a highly nutritious, life-sustaining food that Native Americans of the U.S. originated (who … Continue reading

I've done this on a 98 Lincoln Town Car, very easy to do. I got the Springs & Shocks on ebay. It cost me about $50 for Springs and $20 for Shocks.
Some Info here>> http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...&aqi=&aql=&oq= shop around for the best price.
Car rode good after swap to me. Sat slightly higher in rear, maybe an inch. It's not gonna be the floating cloud ride the Air Bags provided but, it's cheap. If you want smoother/softer throw a few kids in the trunk.
Spring kit came with instructions showing which wire to unplug in trunk to disable Air Pump.
95 town car. air ride switch to springs???
i have a well running 95 lincoln town car but the bags went out and dont care to replace them. iv heard alot about the conversion kits but it seems a set of springs off of a crown vic and shocks would work fine if anyone has ever done this or has any advice such as a parts list i would love it.

Just Came Back!
We just got back from Northern Michigan, Put the camo materials and branches and such to better hide the ladder. Sorry no pics, was not there very long. Also pulled and veiwed pictures from two different cameras, this was a little disappointing. The only buck was that 1.5 year old you all saw last week, however we have about eight deer using the food plots during the day and night. There are a couple of real old gals in there, someone talked about a dry doe. Oh! Yeah! The wheat came up and doing well, the buck forage Oats is very thick and green, and the clover looks like its been hit hard. I walked ours and some of the properties I have permission no rubs there yet, could be a few days yet. I just found some in southern Mi last week. Oh Yeah and My four year old whated to shoot a Dad's 3d Buck, on the 3rd try she nailed the heart. Boy did she get excited, Mom looked worried that she was losing her little girl to the Great Outdoors, being a Dad can really be cool!09 Mathews Reezen, Tru Ball releases and Sights, Gold Tip Arrows, Slick Tricks, Limb Saver Equipment, John Deere, Polaris Ranger, Big Game and Summit stands.

"This was a beautiful Chinese New Year Card. The colors were very vibrant and the horse design was there, but very subtle. Everyone that received the card was impressed. There are not many Chinese New Year Cards available."
"This card was the first of many for our family. Easy to personalize and the photo upload was a cinch. The paper quality and printing is excellent. I am a satisfied consumer for this product."
"I was very pleased that a sister company of Shutterfly offered such a beautiful variety of photo cards for Chinese New Year. There was one design that I actually liked better, but my particular photo did not fit in the template correctly (cropped too much of my photo off) so this was a good fit for us this year. Can't wait to share our first round of CNY cards! Will be ordering from tinyprints again this time next year!"
"I thought the card turned out very nice. I was surprised you didn't put in a couple of extra envelopes at no cost like Shutterfly. Was thrilled you had so many cards for Chinese New Year."
"Most lunar new year cards have Chinese characters or say Happy "Chinese" New Year. I celebrate Vietnamese New Year and found this card to work with my ethnic background. This was one of the only cards that did not have any Chinese characters. I just added in the saying "Chuc Mung Nam Moi" along with my family name to help identify the card with my ethnic lunar celebration. I hope Tiny Prints will keep other ethnic groups in mind next lunar new year."

Expressed in a tapestry of poetry styles, the writing selected for this play celebrates children's experiences of one thing we all share–the earth. Young people used imagery from trees and nature to craft poems and songs about what they encounter in the outdoors and in their lives. "Poetrees and Other Verses From Nature" dramatizes 26 poems written by children from different backgrounds including a poem presented in sign language that was written by a hearing-impaired student. The children's creative use of nature in the writing is also reflected in the production values of the play: trees, flowers, sticks, pine cones, etc. are transformed into all the props. This musical play inspires audiences to write and to look at the earth with a renewed sense of amazement.

text: No fame but just a feel good.............Lived in Miami, FL for a very short time in an apartment complex that had a pool in the center of it. The gal I was living with and myself were sitting in the doorway of our apartment playing cards (middle of the day with not a soul around). We heard a small strange noise but didn't think much of it until I noticed a small baby (about 1 1/2 years old) floating in the pool face down. I dove in and Lisa ran to the other end, I pushed the baby up into Lisa's hands. Little fella was starting to turn blue but took a breath. Some how he had opened the door of his apartment and walked out, tripped on a water hose and fell in. His mother never knew he was gone, she was taking a nap like he was supposed to be doing.

i am having a really hard time with this. i install and the next time i start the browser the extension is disabled. anyone know why this might be happening?

Good :)
My best ;)
If anyone is trying to install under Linux - you have to run opera with sudo first.
Yes. Opera has its own but this one works better... and I don't mind them making money selling non-intrusive advert spaces (I leave the option ON!)... they'll probably help make the market better.
What I do mind is nasty and disgusting adverts like those by Taboola being blocked automatically, because seeing jam juice coming from an ear or A CANCER while you read an article about food is not pleasant nor funny.
So thanks Adblock Plus !
Smooth surfing.
Google ads has changed something, now I see that shit again.
Please fix.
Finally something that works Opera ha its OWN " built in " version BUT it doesnt work THIS DOES spot on !!

Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home & Family Services
Photos submitted by Dawn Dvoracek on 9/27/2006.
On September 26, Dawn Dvoracek, Shandy Russell, and Trudy McNanna attended the rededication ceremony for Williamson Hall on the grounds of the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home & Family Services in Monticello, Arkansas. The Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home is an agency of the Synod of the Sun. In this photo, Shandy and Trudy pose with the Honorable Barbara Webb, moderator for the Presbytery of Arkansas. View the Rededication Ceremony Program
This quilt was created as part of the "Each Stitch by a Million" project. When children come to the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home, many of them have few possessions with them. The quilt project provides these children with a quilt of their very own -- showing them that there are people out there who care about them.
Gathering for the dedication ceremony.
Shandy and Trudy pose for a photo with Lyn Whaley, Chief Executive Officer of the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home & Family Services. To learn more about the Vera Lloyd Presbyterian Home & Family Services, visit their website, http://www.veralloyd.org/.

Trends, fashion, celebrities, events, music, and all things only Vegas
You know that powerful and upbeat rock song you hear in Las Vegas' summer commercial TV spots? If you've seen the spots, you certainly know it. (And if you haven't, well, here you go, courtesy of the official Las Vegas YouTube channel):
OK, so you know the song. But do you know the title and artist? It's "Listen to Your Love" by Nashville rockers Mona, whose self-titled debut album has already helped them earn MTV's Brand New for 2011 Award. Sure, that's no guarantee for superstardom, but consider this: The act that won the award last year ... just some kid by the name of Justin Bieber.
Mona -- frontman/guitarist Nick Brown, bass player Zach Lindsey, drummer Vince Gard and guitarist Jordan Young -- is touring this summer and will be in Vegas this Sunday night, accompanying Airborne Toxic Event at the House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay.
Brown and Gard grew up in Dayton, Ohio, and Lindsey is from Bowling Green. When Brown and Gard were looking to embark on a career in music, they moved to Nashville because, as Brown explains, "It was five hours' drive away as opposed to 14 hours to New York or 26 hours to LA. And way cheaper. We're a bunch of poor kids."
They ran into Lindsey on the local scene and he introduced them to Young, completing the quartet.
"Now we're four horses pulling the carriage," says Brown, who's worked on the "idea" for Mona for years ?? not least because the band is named after his grandmother. "There's a lot of people that wanted to be in this band. There's a lot of people that locally support this band. But as far as having people that understand their roles, and being happy with their roles, it's chemistry, man. It's just like a relationship. It's a marriage."
And their song, "Listen to Your Love," is a perfect marriage for summer in Las Vegas. It's upbeat, loud and fun. Check out Mona this weekend in Vegas and at http://monatheband.com.

Posted by Reineke Reitsma on the Data Insights Professionals Blog on March 13, 2013
Historically, consumers in Asia Pacific have done far more activities on their mobile phones than in other regions. With the increasing availability of affordable smartphones in the region, mobile phones are now the No. 1 device for consuming media for many consumers in Asia Pacific. Similarly, activities like playing games (such as word games and puzzle games), listening to music (both streaming and non-streaming), and using social media are increasingly done via mobile phones, and activity levels are now approaching those of PCs.
In recent months, Forrester's Data Insights team has been analyzing our Technographics® data for the Asia Pacific version of our annual global series, "Understanding The Changing Needs Of Online Consumers." For the past seven years, Forrester has been tracking consumers' online and offline behavior in Asia Pacific. In 2012, we surveyed 16,616 Asia Pacific consumers across two surveys to find out about their use of the Internet for media, entertainment, shopping, communication, and social computing.
Some other highlights of our analyses include:
