VA Boston Healthcare System
Veterans Upward Bound
Veterans Upward Bound, an organization funded by the Department of Education, is collaborating with VA Boston Healthcare System to bring educational access to veterans within the facility. The program brings needs assessment, instruction, and other academic support activities to veterans seeking to enter higher education or earn a high school degree equivalent.
Marybeth O'Sullivan, Outreach Advisor for Veterans Upward Bound, provided some details. "Veterans Upward Bound has been in existence for 35 years, and there are currently 46 projects across the country. Our collaboration with UMass Boston provides the only Veterans Upward Bound in New England".
"I just said, "Hey, why not further my education?" I like the opportunity to retrain my brain," explained Silva, who is currently reviewing basic math concepts with the help of volunteer John Kral (pictured below with Silva). He views informational DVDs on his laptop computer, preferring to use the built-in mouse for navigation. "His small-motor dexterity has really improved", noted Jackson. When an assignment is completed, it is forwarded to faculty at UMass for their review and feedback.
Self-paced courses are varied and extensive, including such options as Greek Thought, Old Testament, Civil Liberties, Churchill, Foundations of Western Civilization, and more. The program at VA Boston has expanded to veterans from other residential programs at the Brockton campus, and currently there are ten participants in total.

I have a factory BOV on my SRT-4.
This is a discussion on "The BIG BOV thread" (Where all bov question threads get merged) within the Engine Modifications forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; I have a factory BOV on my SRT-4....
im not really the internet argueing type. i apolgize if i have said anything offensive. i am a turbo diesel mechanic and i have been working on school buses all day in a 106+ degree weather so i guess i wasnt in the mood for a sarcastic remark. to each there own i respect the fact that you are a car enthusiast and again i apologize i was just looking for an answer. i didnt mean to get hostile, but the arizona sun makes me feel like **** at the end of the day. i am not saying this so i wont get banned or anything(i really could give a **** about an internet forum banning me) but i have a motto that is make more friends than enemies. so i thank you for telling me that the stock one is better i know that but i have always thought that a bov lets everone around you know that your car is turboed and i guess that is why i like it a little ricey yes but i like it and that is why i got the car so i could do things that i like.
ok so i found this video clip
would a recirculated type-s sound like this?
Aftermarket recirculation valves are absolute no different than the stock recirculation valve except that they can hold more boost. If you can't hear your stock recirculating valve, you're not going to hear an aftermarket recirculating valve, simply as that.
that is an atmospheric bov not recirculationg
Ok, Im beyond a newb when it comes to cars. I just picked up an 06 wrx. Im interested in a bov for the car purley for the sound( I know im really lame ) Can a bov be installed on my car? will it cause any issues?

Put on your flame suit.
Not a good idea. It will cause your MAF sensor to read rich. Which results in fouled spark plugs and what not. Your car will also not idle very well. The stock recirculation unit works just fine.
07' UGM STi "Hawk-Eye Alliance #074"
lol i no im lame, but i love that bov sound. I went with the 06 wrx limited because it seemed only right for a total car noob. Thanks for the advice tho
even if you got a show off valve, not sure how it would sound on an automatic transmission anyway. the car probably shifts before enough boost is built up to make the "wooosh" sound.
lol show off valve, very creativeOriginally Posted by lordcon

Sausage sarnies and bacon butties are recipes for success for Flora Wright, whose burger van on a Hexham industrial estate does a roaring trade
AS JOB descriptions go, it sounds rather ideal: Commuting distance? A couple of minutes at most. Job satisfaction? Well, you will be meeting people from all over the world on a daily basis with mouth-watering snacks and drinks readily available, whenever you feel a touch peckish.
And best of all, you will be your own boss, in charge of your very own empire. The empire in question may only be a few feet square but that doesn't matter to Flora Wright who believes, without question, that she has found the perfect job.
It is 12 years since Flora hit upon the idea of opening her own burger van at the Bridge End Industrial Estate in Hexham. Now Flora's Diner is there five days a week, from 6am to 1.30pm, in all weathers, come rain or shine. She takes two weeks off at Christmas but that's about it and she's never had a day off sick. Hard working and passionate about what she does, it's easy to see why Flora has built up a loyal army of customers who cannot get enough of her bacon butties, cheese burgers, chips and home-made mince and dumplings.
It also helps that she's a great listener, with a sunny smile on her face, even on the greyest, bleakest of winter mornings. For many a wagon driver, builder, joiner and plumber, Flora's Diner is their guilty pleasure with packed lunches cast aside in favour of a juicy burger or butty to get them through the day.
Flora, it seems, knows a lucrative opportunity when she sees one and her business is thriving, even in this tough, economic climate.
When Flora announced to her parents Ian and Flora Fairbairn that she was going to have her own burger van they thought it was a "bit of a giggle" – but now they are immensely proud of their practical daughter who has worked hard to make her vision a reality.
A former pupil of the Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham, Flora happily confesses that she had absolutely no idea of what she was going to do with her life when she left school. "My favourite subject was art and design," she said. "I didn't even take food technology as an option. I just wasn't really interested."
Flora worked in Safeway when she left school and was beginning to think that would be it, forever, when she went on holiday to the Dominican Republic and met a woman who would change her life.
"I met this Australian woman who ran a chain of burger vans and loved it. I could do that, I thought. In fact, why don't I do that? I took a business studies course in sixth form, just for something to do, and, ironically, one of the assignments was to set up an imaginary burger van. I never thought that five years on that's what I would actually be doing."
The idea of being her own boss was the main appeal of the job – that, and the sociable side of the job. "I have met so many lovely, interesting people from all over the world, and they tell me all sorts of things about their lives," she said. "Over the years I have heard about my customers getting married, having children, getting promotion, moving house."
One of those loyal customers would find a special place in Flora's heart. "My husband Micky had been coming to the van for about a year before he finally plucked up the courage to ask me for my number," laughed Flora. "We were married in Vegas last year and I have never been happier."
Micky, a joiner, helped Flora kit out her latest burger van – her third – to her exact specification. "I had this vision of how I wanted it to look and Micky has done a fantastic job. It's got everything I need – a fridge and freezer, four foot griddle, fryer, bain marie and counter. It's my mini kitchen on wheels."
Flora's parents loaned her the money for her first van – a second-hand one valued at £3,500 – when she started out all those years ago, aged just 22. And she's proud to say that she has paid them back, every single penny. Not only that but she was able to buy her latest van brand new in January and develop a company logo and uniform. Now Flora and her friend Sinead Millar, who works at the van part-time, look very smart in their new hats and sweatshirts.
"I have met so many lovely, interesting people from all over the world, and they tell me all sorts of things about their lives."
Flora's business studies course helped point her in the right direction when it came to researching her business idea. "I knew I had to find exactly the right venue and work out what my market would be. I also sampled just about every food going to find the right suppliers. I wanted to make sure it was high quality. Then I phoned the council and went on a food hygiene course. And that was it. I was ready to go!"
Slim and healthy, with flawless skin and the constitution of an ox, Flora is a great ambassador for her business, but surely she doesn't tuck in to burgers and chips on a daily basis? "Oh yes I do," she laughed. "I eat all the time. My favourite is a bacon and mushroom butty, but you can't beat a good steak and chips."
Salad is available if you so happen to have a yearning for something particularly healthy, with cheese and ham salad sandwiches on the menu. And Flora is planning to introduce baked potatoes and salad boxes for the summer months. But until then her lunchtime specials, her home-made bolognese, mince and dumplings, chicken curries and burgers, all cooked fresh in the van throughout the morning, remain the most popular options.
Flora's day starts at 5am with the delivery of around 100 bread buns to her home in Hexham. Then it's a case of loading up the van and driving the short distance to the Bridge End Industrial Estate.
Experience has taught her that while the breakfast and lunchtime rush can be hectic, she still has plenty of time to chop and cook throughout the morning ensuring her food is always fresh and tasty.
So, are there any downsides to this job? "Well, getting up at 5am, five mornings a week, can be hard, especially on cold, dark, winter mornings," said Flora. "But once I'm up I'm fine. And I layer up in winter with a couple of pairs of socks and body warmer. There was one day last winter that it hit minus 15 and I packed up and went home. No-one should have to work in those temperatures."
Word-of-mouth has no doubt helped Flora build up her business over the years –and continues to do so. And it seems that everyone seems to know about her. Even the bosses, tracking the progress of their wagons, know that a stop in Hexham most likely means a quick dash to Flora's Diner.
Flora is undoubtedly a rare breed in these recession hit times as a young entrepreneur with a successful business already under her belt. But what about the future? Can we expect to see a chain of Flora's Diners up and down the country? "Not just yet," said Flora.
"I want to take each day as it comes and enjoy what I've got. There's no hurry. I am perfectly happy just as I am."

I'm always hoping that I can inspire people and when they're brave enough to tell me I've done so…it feels so good! The best part of this story is that not only did I manage to inspire Kate, but she has continued to inspire ME and others in her life (her mom has recently joined CrossFit as well)! I first met Kate in 2009 when I joined Clearwire. I don't think there were many things we had in common, but I did love her sense of humor and we became good work friends. I had mentioned workouts and healthy eating to Kate, but she has always said she could never give up bread and pasta….oh and that she hates vegetables! I never pushed it, but was always willing to talk about it on her terms! She left Clearwire, but we kept in touch and over time I convinced her to try CrossFit! I asked her to share her story because I've seen such a change in her (appearance, happiness, health) since she made this commitment and I wanted others to hear it! Enjoy her story!
Sports had been a big part of my life growing up, but somewhere along the way I forgot how to be an athlete. For years I had spent most of my time sitting at a desk, exercising my brain but little else. I didn't have a lot of energy, my stomach gave me problems, and I had to start taking medications for various medical issues. Unfortunately, I still ate like an athlete. I'd load up on carbs and calories but wouldn't do anything to burn them off.
When my brother in law got married, I wanted to look great for the wedding and drop a few dress sizes for the family photos. I tried training for a 5k on my own, and that stuck for a while. After I gave up on that I started riding the stationary bike, but even my iPod couldn't save me from that particular boredom. So I ended up going to the wedding being unhappy with my appearance.
Enter CrossFit. My friend Kylah had convinced me to try it, even helping me find Lake Washington CrossFit, which was close to my house and work. I figured it was worth a shot, so I went to give it a try. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but in about nine minutes and thirty seconds, I was hooked. I signed up that day. In the beginning they talked about the paleo diet, but I wasn't quite ready to make that leap yet. I had already switched to brown rice, wheat bread and whole grain pasta, wasn't that enough?
I had been playing indoor soccer once a week for over a year, but I wasn't in very good shape and my play suffered for it. It didn't take long after I started CrossFit to start seeing results on the soccer field, plus I was down a whole dress size! I found, though, that I was having a hard time making big improvements at CrossFit, so I decided to try to go full paleo for 28 days.
I had no idea how I was going to accomplish this. I basically lived on all of the things that are forbidden in paleo – rice, bread, milk, cheese, pasta. I also think I am vegetable-phobic. I spent a whole weekend scouring the internet for paleo recipes to try to get me through this challenge. I was surprised to find so many that sounded like something I could enjoy eating.
My coaches at CrossFit told me the first two weeks of going paleo would be the hardest. If I could get through the cravings and decreased energy, I would really start to feel a difference. My husband Adam cooked me so many delicious meals that all of a sudden, I didn't need all of that other food. A "diet" where you can eat bacon? Count me in! In 28 days, I lost 15 pounds, and I noticed I was lifting more, faster. The best part of it all? I got to decrease some of my medications, completely stop taking others, and my stomach problems are a thing of the past. I'm almost done with another challenge, but in between I'm starting to prefer eating paleo as a lifestyle change.
There's another great benefit to getting fit and losing over 35 pounds. My sister in law is getting married this summer. I'm looking forward to those family photos.
CrossFit has become a great outlet for me. I don't think I've ever found anything better for working off a tough day. I have more energy, I'm happier and more fun to be around, and I actually look forward to working out now. But the other day, when I sat down and signed up for the CrossFit Open, I remembered how to be an athlete. It's great to be in a team environment again – everyone pushes each other to be better than yesterday and celebrates in each other's successes. Maybe that's why I keep going back – it's an addictive way to measure your fitness, to make a sport out of being fit, to see calculable results, and all of this with a group of teammates cheering you on. It sure beats going nowhere on a bike for 30 minutes a day.

different ways to take a bath 1, fuerteventura
Painting, Political / Social, Landscape, Oil, 197x197x4cm
my shown works are part of a big project titled with "ON THE BEACH", which pursues the wish for a multicultural society in Europe, in which we see diversity of thought and lifestyle as enriching and supportive. Usually, when we are confronted with a strange culture, we begin by measuring it against our own, almost always on the basis of moral values and views. Although I'm curious and open-minded about foreign cultures, I find that I'm constantly confronting my own ability for tolerance, and catch myself applying my own traditional and moral perceptions and values as a yardstick for judgment, am forced to question my own objectivity and my neutral, non-judgmental acceptance of the unknown. Inspired by my contribution I travelled to the Emirates, Sri Lanka, Thailand and India where again and again I observed how tolerantly and above all completely naturally people from different cultures and religions can live side by side. On the beaches, in particular, I experienced how everyone - fat and thin, young and old, with and without Burkas, in modest one-piece bathing suits or skimpy bikinis, spent their leisure time unprejudiced and respectful of each other.

I haven't worn a swimming costume since an unfortunate event about three years ago - a story too long and painful to detail here, but it involved a badly tied sarong, a neighbourhood petition and an unprecedented spike in Immac share purchases in the south east. This week, however, a friend whose unswerving loyalty saw me through those dark days, especially when she let me cower in her coal shed to avoid the unleashed hounds, persuaded me that the time had come to dip my nether regions in depilatory liquid and brave the waters in Lycra once again. "Aqua aerobics," she nods sagely. "It's a brilliant thing."
It begins badly. I have put on so much weight since I last donned the wretched thing that I look like an ambulant blood pudding. Even more disturbingly, the tightness now causes me to jacknife to avoid bisection. I stagger sideways out to the pool. "Did you have a stroke in the changing room?" inquires my friend with some concern. "No," I reply faintly, distracted by the irony of embarking upon anything involving the word "aerobic" with a set of compressed lungs. By this time I am in the water and have no breath to reply.
Then the music starts and we're off. And let me say this now that I have been cut out of my swimsuit and can. Aqua aerobics is brilliant. You don't sweat like a pig. The water hides your disgusting body and your malcoordination. It's basically jumping about in the water for grownups.
Best of all, when everyone jog-wades round the pool, they generate enough centrifugal force to carry you round as if you're on a log flume. I'm telling you, exercise does not get much better than this. Until you get to work with massive yellow floaty dumbbells, that is! I know! And because this form of weight-supporting exercise is very popular with gestating ladies, there is the added excitement of the very real possibility that by the time you have finished sidekicking to Mighty Real, there could be half a dozen newborns bobbing about with surprised looks on their faces. Just don't mistake them for dumbbells - my friend, who is as blind as a bat without her glasses, speaks from experience when she tells me that post-partum women regard this as something of a faux pas.

- Death Cross
The death cross is a technical indicator which occurs when an asset's (gold's) short-term moving average (like the 60-day moving average) crosses below its long-term moving average (like the 200-day moving average). The death cross is the opposite of the golden cross. As the name implies, it is often associated with important downward price movement and it is considered a bearish signal. The crossover is considered more significant when accompanied by high trading volume. Once it occurs, the long-term moving average is considered a major resistance level.Read more

- Divergence in monetary policies
The divergence in monetary policies is a difference in monetary policies adopted by the world's most systemically important central banks (i.e. the Federal Reserve System, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan). These central banks used to synchronize their actions, however, their monetary policies started to decouple in 2014. Investors witnessed the starkest contrast between them in December, 2015, when the European Central Bank eased its monetary policy, while the Fed raised its interest rates. The main cause of the divergence in monetary policies was the fact that the U.S. recovered more quickly than Europe after the Great Recession. Therefore, the Fed started to tighten its stance compared to the ECB's or BOJ's actions.Read more

Diversification is an investment strategy that calls for spreading risk and allocating resources so as to keep them from being vulnerable to external conditions, and to be as independent from each other as possible.

Olivia Ong is a Singaporean singer who found success in Japan with English-language renditions of bossa nova classics.
"Let Me Be There" is a 1973 album by Olivia Newton-John. The American publication of this 1973 album by MCA Records used the cover art from Olivia's 1972 LP record "Olivia" which was not released by MCA. Some of its songs were taken for the U.S. publication, such as song titles from the British publications of the albums "If Not for You" and "Olivia". Though the title song was a commercial failure in England, it was Olivia Newton-John's first American Top Ten hit, successfully boosting her singing career in North America. She had previously charted in the Billboard Top 40 with the song "If Not for You".
Olivia Newton-John's Greatest Hits (1977) was the first compilation album released by Olivia Newton-John in the United States. (In some other regions, Newton-John released a 1974 compilation, First Impressions. This album was therefore marketed instead as Greatest Hits Vol. 2 and featured a different track listing.) The album collected all of Newton-John's American Top 40 singles released between 1971 and 1977. "Changes" was the only track not released as a single, but it was one of Newton-John's first self-written songs that she recorded. The album was Newton-John's first platinum certification peaking No. 13 Pop and No. 7 Country. It ended up being certified double Platinum in the US and Gold in the UK and in Hong Kong.
The world's greatest pinup model and cult icon, Bettie Page, recounts the true story of how her free expression overcame government witch-hunts to help launch America's sexual revolution.

Red Takes the Win In Red & Black Scrimmage
Sept. 14, 2012
BISHOP, Ga. – The Red team edged out the Black team 10-9, as the University of Georgia equestrian team took to the ring for the first time for the annual Red and Black Scrimmage on Friday afternoon in Bishop, Ga. Leading the way for the Red team were MVPs Abby O'Mara (Equitation on the Flat), Rachel Kolb (Horsemanship) and Lauren Garmon (Reining). Chloe Simon picked up MVP honors in Equitation Over Fences for the Black team.
"We had a very successful day on a beautiful afternoon," head coach Meghan Boening said. "I was very impressed with the rides, particularly the ones from our MVPs. I was encouraged to see that three of our four MVP-winning rides came from freshmen. More than the competition though, I was very proud of the team spirit, camaraderie and the support that everyone had for their teammates. This kicked off, what I think, will be a great season for us."
The Black team hurried out to a 4-0 lead in Equitation Over Fences, with Katie Crump, Kate Skoglund, Lauren Shamon and Simon each earning winning rides. Crump earned the first point with her 84-65 win over Madi Berger. Jessica Dencker tied the meet at one with an 82-80 win over Brittlan Wall, before Skoglund handed Faith Fiorenzano a 78-63 loss to give Black team a 2-1 lead. Emily DuPont, who was riding for the Red team, knotted the score at two with an 80-0 win. Shamon scored the following point with an 81-78 win over Allison Haspel, before Simon sealed the 4-2 win for the Black team with her MVP-winning, 85-63 win over Alyssa Thompson.
The Red team fought back from a 4-2 meet deficit to take equitation on the flat 4-2, tying the Hunt Seat competition at six. Kendall Fately and Madi Clark opened Equitation on the Flat with winning rides of 87 and 79, respectively, giving the Black team an early 2-0 lead. The Red team answered with four-straight points to take Equitation on the Flat 4-2. Sydney Crenshaw sparked the run by the Red team by defeating Alyssa Mansfield 90-83. Leylan Gleeson followed with a 77-69 win over Hannah Spiegler. Sarah Milliren rode to an 80-77 win over Audrey Gallagher before O'Mara scored her MVP-winning ride of 95 to defeat Shamon.
The Red team opened up to a 2-0 lead in the Western ring after Morgan Stamey and Garmon each scored winning rides. Stamey kicked off the Reining competition with a 69-63 win over Heather Ham that put the Red team up 1-0 in Reining. Megan Hawkins and Michelina Carbone each scored a 69.5 before Garmon's MVP-winning ride of 70.5 defeated Jenny Freeman and sealed the 2-0 win for the Red team.
Sarah Novak scored the first point in Horsemanship to give the Red team a 1-0 lead with her 72-70 win over Morgan Beavers. Taylor Davis answered with a 72.5-71.5 win over Erica Webb that tied the Horsemanship score at one. Kolb's MVP-winning score of 76.5 gave the Red team its final point of the day, as Laura Malone and Jaclyn Beckley scored back-to-back wins for the Black team. Malone outscored Olivia Gaude 75.5-70.5, before Beckley wrapped up the competition with a 69.5-69 win over Brittany Lynch.
Georgia opens it regular season on September 30 at 10 a.m., when it hosts defending National Champion Texas A&M in the Southeastern Conference's first-ever equestrian competition in Bishop, Ga.

Town of Golden leads the wave in British Columbia
In May 2011, the town of Golden and SandVault Group Global Solutions Corp launched their full season of the first ever public bike share in British Columbia. The Golden Community Bike Share (GCBS) has three goals: to promote active transportation and a healthy life style, to reduce green house gas emissions from the use of cars and to reduce bike theft.
Public Bike Shares are the fastest growing form of urban transportation. Since the first automated card controlled systems were launched in 1995, there has been a slow progression of "PBS" systems to more than 270 cities globally.
"We are a small town and it is a real privilege to be able to work with SandVault Group Global Solutions Corp on this innovative community bike share program." Says Mayor Christina Benty. "Being a healthy and active community is important to us so the bike program is a natural fit expanding transportation options for locals and tourists."
The town of Golden has implemented the latest version of SandVault's CycleStation system , the industry's leading platform for public bike share. Golden paired CycleStation with AfricaBikes from Vancouver based Kona Bikes "SandVault is honoured to be the launch partner of the first bike share in BC" said Rick Murray, President of Sandvault. "The town of Golden has been tremendous partner and shows the ability of CycleStation to adapt to a local community, in this case with Kona and their incredible AfricaBike program."
Golden's bike share is open for business for local citizens and visitors alike.
About Golden:
Golden is located in the southeast corner of the province of British Columbia, Canada. Nestled between the spectacular Rocky Mountains to the east, and the Purcell mountain range to the west, where the frothy Kicking Horse River flows into the mighty Columbia, the scenery is spectacular. For more information, please go to: http://www.town.golden.bc.ca/index.php
About SandVault Group:
Based in Richmond BC, SandVault Group is the most experienced bike share system provider in the world and has been innovating and implementing public bike share systems since 2005. SandVault's flagship product, CycleStation, has been implemented in several locations, most recently a 1,000 bike system in Miami Beach. For more information, please go to: http://sandvault.com/.

Last spring's menswear (i.e. the stuff that's all 30 per cent off in stores now) was a bit of an aesthetic free-for-all.
At the time everyone thought "a-ha, what fun!" but naturally, all this kind of messy, mish-mashed postmodernism seems terribly passé now. So, at the spring 2013 menswear shows in London, Paris and Milan, which finally wrapped up this month, designers seemed to be looking for a way out of such glorious excess and into collections that were punchy and focused. Spring 2013 seems like it could be a season of strong new directions.
There were references to many sports, from fencing at Dries Van Noten (a sublime collection that deconstructed camouflage across a range of suits, denim jackets and quilted breastplates) to athletics at Prada and cycling at Trussardi and Issey Miyake. But one of the most chewed-over influences this season were nautical pursuits. Louis Vuitton led the way with a wonderfully detailed collection from Kim Jones, themed loosely on the sea. With its range of stunning outerwear options (including a floating, ankle-length parka and a leather, lifejacket-like gilet) it looked great on the runway, with laser-cut pockets on a yellow fishing mac and stingray buttons on a seersucker suit. At Dior Homme, sharply tailored suits in navy and grey were joined by Bretonesque jumpers with textured, rope-like knit stripes, and it became clear that the point here was a very subtle reworking of a nautical uniform.
Statement T-Shirt
For spring 2013, designers took steps to recreate the loved and loathed T-shirt. And none did this with more gusto than Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.
The Dolce & Gabbana catwalk was, from a showman's point of view, triumphant, featuring more than 70 streetcast models from Sicily and soundtracked by a live Italian village band.
But the adorable folksy, gawky clothes also stood up to scrutiny, and in particular the drop-shouldered, T-shirt-like cotton tops, printed with stripes, newspaper clippings and colourful maps, and with wide, uncuffed sleeves reaching to the elbow, for full, ill-fitting rustic charm.
At Givenchy, Riccardo Tisci continued to push printed T-shirts and sweatshirts, but this spring rendered these pieces in unusual, non-stretch fabrics such as sheeny satin and sheer gauze.
And across many runways there were further experiments with fabric, whether it was in Margaret Howell's oversized linen T-shirts and Astrid Andersen's wear-if-you-dare lace numbers in London, or the stiff knitted tees at Jil Sander, which held their shape to nicely increase the sharpness of the silhouette.
Supercharged Pastels
The vogue for loud flashes of colour in menswear has been a long time in development, and, unusually, even managed to hit the mainstream over the past years. But there was a new set of tones in play, sickly but muted, and hovering between pastel and neon. Kind of like the shades you might see in a gelateria. In Milan, at the Z Zegna show, minimalist artist Dan Flavin (he of the coloured tube-lighting) inspired wonderful, almost over-exposed shades of mint green, coral and melon-like pale orange, and at Gucci, too, where creative director Frida Giannini proposed a series of loud, one-colour suits in supercharged pastel shades. Meanwhile in Paris, Hermès showed macs and track tops in a sickly lemon yellow and Raf Simons fielded bomber jackets in three different lengths and lollipop shades of pale pink, orange and vibrant cherry, while Yohji Yamamoto combined primary colours.
Sports Minimal
At the Prada show, many were waiting for a new cornucopia of zany prints to come sailing down the catwalk, given the brand's interest in that direction recently. But all Miuccia Prada seemed to care about this season was a simple silhouette constructed from a polo-shirt shape and a striped, slightly flared trouser.
What was the punchline? That all these simple, retro, sports-inspired pieces (including v-necks, oversized tees and wide-collared, bib-front shirts) were rendered in unusual, unsporty fabrics such as wool gabardine, double faced bonded cotton and light cashmere. It was a return to the kind of thinking that made Prada the must-have brand of the mid-90s, when high fashion first began to exploit the idiom of popular leisure and sportswear, referencing its utilitarian nature to create a new kind of simplicity.
This fresh, reductive approach was echoed at Lou Dalton and Emporio Armani, where soft tailoring was mixed with tech fabric jackets, sporty striped sweaters and drawstring gym shorts, and at Lanvin, where Lucas Ossendrijver enhanced his typically ingenious sport references with a subtly monochrome colour palette.
Tailored Bermuda Shorts
Jil Sander showed her first efforts since returning to the label to replace the much-loved Raf Simons last year. And she gave us shorts. In a collection that was graciously aware of what Jil Sander has become in the past five years, she used pleated, high-waisted Bermuda shorts to lend a slouch to long, wide-shouldered silhouettes, undercutting the severity of pieces such as a crisp yellow mac or stiff knit T-shirt with a luxurious movement of fabric below the waist. The breezy tailored short had been prefigured in London by designers such as James Long (who did them in print with heavy pleats) and Shaun Samson (whose had more of a basketball-inspired swagger), and continued to be a relevant piece across Milan and Paris, including Kenzo, where wide shorts made for a gawky, tourist-on-safari chic, and Versace, where suits came sleeveless with pleated, matching shorts.
Camouflage was a micro-trend in the spring 2013 collections, but, when people did it, they really went for it – in particular Dries Van Noten, who built a whole collection around this inherently masculine print. With elegant understatement, Van Noten showed a range of canvas camo suits, reversible jackets and paneled denim jackets and shirts, subverting the usual colour scheme to create beautiful variations in orange, brown, sand, red and blue.
On the Comme Des Garçons catwalk there was a no less striking approach to camouflage, in a series of suits that were paired with coat-length grey track tops. And then there were shows such as Ermenegildo Zegna and Kenzo, that, although not too tied to camouflage in the traditional sense, played with prints of tropical foliage, for a similarly lush and densely geometric effect.Reuse content

There is FileNames[], StringReplace[], NotebookOpen[], Export[] &
SetDirectory[] ....
In a fresh notebook, have you tried something like
SetDirectory["directory where my notebooks live"];
ifile = FileNames["*.nb"];
ofile = StringReplace[#, {"nb"->"PDF"}]& /@ ifile;
inb = NotebookOpen[ifile[[#]]];
Export[ofile[[#]], inb]

YMMV depending on exactly what you want to do before saving the notebooks.

Seeking New Board Help jones, yes others
Hi everyone,
First, I don't post often but visit all the time to read and learn.
By background I have been surfing and skiing including some competitive skiing back in my teens. I owned a snurfer, one of the first Burton's first production boards that I actually rode at Stratton in the 80sand then the first year burton canyon in a 168. Spent 10 plus years away from the mountain after a bad crash and went snowboarding for the first time in a long time last year.
Reality is 44 years old 6'2 190 with young twins who are 7 and now snowboarding. I bought a used burton antler last year and love it. Can play around with the kids, great in fresh snow etc. most importantly never catches. I live on the east coast so when it is real firm or icy, I miss being able to rail. Not looking to the park much, switch almost never but I would like to find something that can handle the firm stuff better and carve better but can still be easy to ride at slower speeds with the kids etc. looking to compliment the antler with a different profile board-camber or cam rock etc. that will carve better, handle the firm stuff better but not be catchy or mellow when with the kids. The Jones mountain twin seems like a great option and am also considering the Yes big city given I can get a great deal. Also considering a Rome mod rocker or just a burton custom. Any recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated. Btw, 10 or 10 1/2 boot.

Canine Dry Eye
I had a dog with keratoconjuctivitis sicca (KCS) when I was growing up. Unfortunately, the available treatments at the time weren't that great, so Tangles eventually became blind and surely suffered some discomfort associated with his perpetually "goopy" eyes. Now, however, KCS can usually be managed well enough that dogs don't have to go through what Tangles did.
Dogs with KCS manufacture fewer tears than normal, and tears are essential to maintaining the health of the eye. Not only do they lubricate the eye's surface and wash away foreign material, tears also nourish the surface of the eye. Without adequate tear production, a dog's eyes become inflamed (i.e., red and painful) and produce more mucus than normal. In advanced cases, corneal ulcers, abnormal corneal pigmentation, and loss of vision may develop.
Veterinarians can differentiate KCS from other diseases that cause similar symptoms with a quick and inexpensive procedure called a Schirmer Tear Test (STT). A small strip of filter paper that is usually infused with a dye and marked off in millimeters is folded and inserted between the lower eyelid and the cornea. Tears are wicked up the paper — how high they go is the standard of measurement for the STT. In general, anything less than 15 mm in one minute is considered abnormally low, but the results need to be analyzed in conjunction with the rest of the dog's ophthalmic exam. For example, because tear production naturally declines somewhat with age, an older dog with an STT of 14 but no signs of KCS probably does not require treatment but should be monitored closely.
Most cases of KCS develop as a result of an abnormal autoimmune response that targets the tear producing glands around the eye. Certain breeds, like the English bulldog, cocker spaniel, west highland white terrier, lhasa apso, and pug are predisposed to this type of KCS. In a few cases, an underlying condition may result in secondary KCS. Diabetes, hypothyroidism, infections, abnormal ocular anatomy, surgery to remove a cherry eye (i.e., a prolapsed third eyelid gland), or the use of certain types of medications (e.g., sulfa antibiotics) may predispose some individuals to dry eye.
Most dogs respond very well to medical treatment for KCS, particularly if it is started early in the course of the disease. Cyclosporine and tacrolimus alone or in combination are generally very effective at reducing inflammation and stimulating tear production when they are applied to the surface of the eye. Artificial tears, topical antibiotics, and other medications may also be prescribed.
Surgery to redirect a duct carrying saliva from the mouth towards the surface of the eye is also an option but should be reserved for those cases when medical treatment is unsuccessful. Saliva isn't tears, after all, and "crying" instead of drooling in response to a meal has to be an odd sensation.
Tangles lived to a ripe old age, but his quality of life in later years was compromised by KCS. If he had been born a decade or two later, he could have greatly benefited from the relatively recent advances in how we treat this disease.

Kathy Harston
As an assistant at Texas, Harston's duties revolved around day-to-day coaching and practice responsibilities and opponent scheduling. Her primary focus was on coaching the Longhorn offense and handling the perimeter players.
Over her 18 years at Texas, Harston's commitment to the program resulted in helping UT to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances (including Sweet 16 showings in 2002 and 2004, as well as a Final Four berth in 2003) and eight conference championships (five regular season titles, three tournament championships).
An outstanding collegiate player, Harston had an impressive basketball career in her own right. A former National Player of the Year candidate while starring at AIAW national powerhouse Wayland Baptist, she was selected as one of the "Top 25 Players of the Pre-NCAA Basketball Era" by ESPN.com in January of 2006.
Harston was a Kodak All-American and a finalist for the 1980 Wade Trophy National Player of the Year award at Wayland Baptist. She led the Flying Queens to the 1977 National Women's Invitational Tournament (NWIT) post-season tournament championship and to a fourth-place finish at the 1978 AIAW National Championship.
After receiving her bachelor's degree in physical education (1980) from Wayland Baptist, Harston then earned her master's degree in education from North Texas State University in 1982. After a two-year stint at Texas Tech, Harston returned to the high school coaching ranks for a five-year stint at Plainview High School in Plainview, Texas. At Plainview, she was head basketball coach and athletic coordinator. Under her direction, Plainview won the Texas Class 5A State Championship in 1986-87, and Harston was named Texas State High School Coach of the Year. Two years later, Harston began her long association with The University of Texas.
Harston was inducted into the Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame in 1996.
Additionally, on Feb. 24, 2008, Harston was inducted into the Wayland Baptist Athletic Hall of Honor for her outstanding basketball contributions and achievements.

JKS motor mount and body lift
I hard a difficult time installing a jks 1"motor mount today. The instructions said to use a jack on the transmission or transfer case. My main concern was the angle seemed to be needing to be jacked in the front of the motor- the front hole needed to be higher than the rear hole of the motor mount frame. It used a 4 foot pry bar and a hammer, but it's installed. I felt this was excessive, but I tried to be nice for hours.
I tried to install these before the body lift because I had limited time and wanted to get the daunting one first. I didn't get it, so I put the stock back in, then installed the 1 1/4" JKS body lift thinking that could change things. It didn't. Same problems later.
Also that AC was supposed to be in the way of the cross bolt. It wasn't even near it. 97tj 4.0.
It all seems good, but was wondering if anyone else ran into a bad angle problem like this.

Normal clutch engagement position
I've never owned a manual BMW before and I'm looking at a 2003 M5 with 51,000 miles. When I drove the car the clutch pedal had to be at the floor before the clutch disengaged and it would engage without much pedal travel from the floor. I've driven several American manual transmissions and I remember the top to half way point in the pedal travel being where the clutch would release and grab. However these were all cable operated clutches and I have never had a slave cylinder one. The owner told me the clutch was replaced not long ago, but does not have any documentation to back it up. I will get a PPI to verify the car's condition, but I was just wondering if the engagement position of the clutch is a symptom of something being worn out. The test drive was not a long one, so I did not drive the car hard since I never got it warmed up properly. However, I did get on the highway and the clutch did not slip when I was in sixth gear and floored it accelerating from 60 to 80.
Should begin to engage about half way up. There may be air in the clutch circuit, or, if the clutch was replaced, there may be a problem with the job.
The clutch travel is quite long, and the pedal must be near the floor before full disengagement.
The clutch arm pivot inside the bell housing is plastic, and should be replaced along with the clutch. It might be broken.
Anyone who did not save such important repair documentation is probably lying. However, the M5 can eat a clutch by this mileage, especially if driven in a "spirited" manner.
Make sure your indie does a thorough mechanical inspection on this car before you make an offer.

Thanks for the information. I have only looked at the car once and drove it for 15-20 minutes. I'm working on setting up a PPI with my mechanic who worked on my 540. He used to work for the local dealer several years ago and seems to know BMWs.
I understand the clutch could be bad in 50,000 miles, but the owner mentioned it was changed about 5,000 miles ago. I'm going to press him to provide documentation. Otherwise I will assume the clutch has not been changed.
I did talk with a friend who works for the dealer and he gave me the maintenace history he could find, which did not mention a clutch. I'm not rushing into this since it could be an expensive mistake if the PO did not perform regular maintenance.
It is imperitive that this engine run BMW 10W60 oil. This is a detuned racing engine, and is not to be trifled with.
Ed in San Jose '97 540i 6 speed aspensilber over aubergine leather. Build date 3/97. Golden Gate Chapter BMW CCA Nr 62319.
I would partially agree with the 10w60 oil. I know BMW changed the recommendation to 5W30 at some time (maybe for 2001 or 2002 model year). The concensus is BMW did this since most people did not track their M5s and the 5w30 helped with oil consumption.
Most people I have talked with agree that the 5w30 would be fine for daily driving or winter driving if the temperatures are consistantly below 30 or 40 degrees (I can not remember the exact number). If you want to track your M5 or live in a hotter climate, then you need to use 10w60.
My plan is to do some open tracking with the M5 and I will be using the 10w60 during the summer. When winter comes along, I'll switch to 5w30 since we can get some cold weather and I would not feel comfortable with 10w60 and 10 degree temperature.
I experienced the same thing. In April 2007 I had a clutch job on my 1997 328i (clutch assembly, pilot bearing, and slave cylinder). After the repair the pedal engagement was close to the floor and the pedal pressure was quite light. It is still that way. I am wondering if there is any adjustment that can be made for the pedal position. I guess I will have to take a look underneath the dash.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
Technical Question
Let's say I have a long MP3 on my iPod. For example, maybe an hour-long interview with a band, during which they also play a few songs, live and acoustic and whatnot.
I'd like to keep just the songs on my iPod, and I don't think I can get them anywhere else. (I don't think they're available on CD or individually from iTunes, etc.) But I wouldn't want to listen through the hour-long interview (or fast forward through the interview portions) everytime I feel like listening to these songs.
So, is there a way that I can cut the songs out of the long MP3 and save them individually? Is there some kind of free editing software that isn't too hard to use? Is there any even easier way that I'm not thinking of?

For a free editor try http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ReplyDelete
In order to edit with mp3 you need software that the will allow the editor to support the mp3 files. This is called an encoder.
Try http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm
It should not be very hard to edit. Simply import a copy of your original file. Don't work on the original. Cut out the parts of teh file you don't want, and export what remains. One disadvantage with mp3 is that you will lose a little quality each time you edit the file and export back out to a new mp3 file.
I second the motion for Audacity.ReplyDelete
As a second example of how useful it can be: I use it to dice up large audio files (typically from podcasts) into short 2-3 minute-long tracks before burning the collection onto a CD for listening in the car. This makes it much easier to get back to start close to a stopping spot.
And it is free.
- AnonymousAugust 21, 2006 11:06 AM
Audacity with Lame if by far your best option out there.ReplyDelete
Another vote for audacity.ReplyDelete
Yes, Yes.. I know I'm awesome.ReplyDelete
While Audacity is good stuff (yay, Open Source), you might want to take a look at GoldWave. It's free-ish (it's feature-limited until you pay the shareware fee, but it won't give you any hassle about this stuff) and has a great feature called "Set Cue Points" that automagically divides up the file for you. You can specify that it divide into equal chunks (say, 10 minutes per track), or it will actually look for the silence between tracks and divide it there (you can adjust how low the level has to be for it to be "quiet", the min and max track lengths, the minimum length for silence, etc.)ReplyDelete
I've found it's really handy for things like audiobooks ... if you get the settings right the breaks will all come at logical places like chapter ends when there's a long pause.
Of course be warned that if the RIAA ever finds out you have done this they will attempt to sue you for around 5k. Don't worry if the method they used to find out was legal or not. They will still sue and they have very deep pockets.ReplyDelete

8 Weird Tips To Stop Being Nagged To Death
How To Save Your Marriage
There are many ways that I tried on how to save my marriage. Most people are having the same problem and they want to do everything just to save their marriage. In reality, it is pretty easy to fix a broken marriage. Of course, the first thing to solve it is that we need to admit to ourselves that there is indeed a problem. Most couples live with each other for years and they never realize that every day is a lie.
They think that their marriage is working well and they do not know that the other person is already cheating. It might be like this for a couple of years then the wife find out about it and everything ends up with an expensive and lengthy divorce. Therefore, it is important to find out if your marriage has some holes that need to be filled up.
What are the ways on how to fix a marriage?
Once you have admitted that there is a problem with your marriage then you can now start with the counseling process. Set some time to talk with your spouse about the different problems that you have at home.
The children should not be around when you start the talks since they will only be emotional and it might be traumatic for them. Once you turned off the television and placed the kids to bed then you can start talking about the problems. Stay as calm as you can and never be angry about the points that your wife shares.
If you are already finished with your problems then you can wait for your wife's comments. She might also have problems with the marriage and you need to listen to it in order to know your deficiencies. Now, ask her if you can fix yourself for the marriage.
Negotiate for a warranty and the last chance for the relationship. You can actually set the changes for four or more months. During that time changes must be seen inside the house. If you see some improvement with your relationship with your spouse then the treatment is working.
Another thing I tried on saving a relationship was to launch a couple's project. A couple's project is based on a set of plans that you will practice along with your wife.
During this time you will be the one to do the favors inside the house such as doing some simple chores. You can also add some exciting events such as traveling to a romantic country to having a delicious meal at a lovely restaurant.
Also, your wife should also make some secret plans for you. She should also have her own plans to fix the marriage. The plans should be attainable and it should make your wife happy. As you are doing the couple's project you should ask her about what she feels. If she feels excited and happy then the project is a success.
Once the project is done then your marriage will surely be patched up and you and your wife will live happily. you can also read more about newlywed advice.

Welcome. I photograph families who want timeless, evocative black and white portraits of their children, hanging on their walls.
Fiona, Hampstead | Kind Words
"Very mindful of the fact that time is flying by, I wanted to capture my children, Olivia, Grace and Leo as they are today.
I loved the way the subjects – my teenage children – were, in the gentlest way possible – exposed. I loved the way the pictures captured their vulnerability as well as their new-found poise. I loved the way they all looked alive – blooming, flawless, perfect, as well as having a coiled up energy and tension just beneath the surface. I loved the tiny details which I will treasure – Olivia's bed-head hair with every tiny tendril lovingly illuminated, Grace's huge eyes and her uncanny, almost unsettling composure, Leo's innocence and youthful energy.
It was way more than just a good "shot" of them, it was the way their newly emerging identities were exposed by the camera. As well as being strikingly beautiful portraits they are very interesting as well".
Dr's Marjan and Nicholas Goodacre, Leili and Olivia
"Dear Ciaran, thank you so much for managing to produce such stunning photographs. You have amazed us again with your talent and skill. We're so glad you could fit us in to your busy schedule as we can't believe how time has flown since you last took photographs of our family when Leili was only 6 months old. Clearly Leili has changed so much since then and now she even has her younger sister Olivia to be with. Maybe we need to schedule yearly photographs into our diary so not to miss these precious moments. We have the photos hanging in our sitting room which has now been transformed into a loving happy home with beautiful memories decorating our walls. Thank you again for producing such beautiful precious and valuable memories for us to treasure for many years to come.
Wishing you all the best".
The Portrait Session
To book a portrait sitting, simply call or email. Once the session fee has been paid, we will discuss availability, who is to be photographed, what you might wear or dress your child in for the portraits, and anything you hope the photographs will show.
The session always starts with a plan, but we build in lots of flexibility. If it rains we wear wellies, and if the sun should shine, I've got the sunscreen. Dark skies ought never spell the end of photography, and in black and white especially, they can look quite striking! Usually the aim is to make images both inside and out, to give a diverse selection for you to choose from.
On the day of your photo shoot, we will be together for between two and four hours. Of course there are no time limits, and I will have no other commitments that day. The idea is to work at a relaxing pace, so the resulting photographs look natural and comfortable. Photographing in familiar surroundings can also help with this, which is why most of my sittings take place in the home, garden or a local park. We can move between different locations, as well as try any changes of outfit if desired.
Portrait sessions are scheduled throughout the week. Availability Monday-Friday is usually very good. Weekends, public and school holidays fill more quickly and are best arranged as soon as you are able to commit to a date. My strong preference is to photograph first thing in the morning, especially with young children who I find are often in better mood straight after breakfast. Morning light also tends to be most useful for photography.
Viewing Your Photographs
Around one week after we have made your photographs, I will present a tightly edited selection of twenty-five or so proof images in a private gallery. This will remain online for seven days, giving you ample opportunity to select those portraits you would most like to own. In exceptional circumstances I may extend the proofing gallery for an additional fee. Once you have made your choices, I will meticulously print, frame and prepare each photograph for delivery. Unframed prints are normally dispatched within one week. Framed prints and platinum prints are typically delivered within one month.
The Portrait Commission | London
- 2-4 hour sitting in London. Private online gallery to choose your favourites.
- 3 beautifully printed portraits on A2 sized paper, well suited to framing and display on your wall. With a warm sepia-like quality and delicate tonality, they are crafted meticulously on cotton rag papers or exquisite handmade Japanese Washi.
- 3 high-resolution digital versions of the three prints you have selected.
- Add additional portraits to your folio for £120 each.
Frame Design
The best way to enjoy your portraits is to have them beautifully framed, and hanging on your wall. I make custom picture frames in my workshop that are crafted meticulously to museum standard in hard woods – usually black walnut. These are available for £350 each and should be ordered at the same time as your prints. Please note there is a minimum order of three frames. Learn about the picture frames here.
All prints come with recommendation for framing, should you arrange this for yourself.
Digital Files
My objective is to create beautiful portraits for your wall. With each printed portrait that you purchase, I will include a high resolution digital version of that photograph at no extra charge. This will be meticulously edited and print-ready, perfect for making copies for friends and family. Digital files are made available for download.
Platinum and Palladium Prints
There is the option of having your portraits printed by hand in platinum and palladium metals. This is a traditional darkroom process that requires much time, skill and dedication to master – but the results are exquisite.
Ciaran Lee | Photographer
From the age of sixteen I have lived and breathed photography. Since 2008 this passion has been my profession. I have had the privilege of photographing many families, and the satisfaction of knowing countless treasured portraits now hang on their walls.
When making photographs of children, I am trying to show universal signs such as innocence, reflection, discovery and vulnerability, but also unique characteristics and behaviours known only to the family. Be it a telling half smile, the way a young boy covers his face when nervous, or a little girl waiting by the window for Dad to return from work. It is these pictures that parents tell stories about, and children once grown look back upon with such fondness.
Understanding the immediate and enduring value a portrait will have, is reason for the many hours lovingly invested in its creation. I believe that if you are to live with photographs of your family on your wall, they should look every bit as good as the work you might buy from, or expect to see in a gallery. After all, you will be looking at them every day. If they are going to be enjoyed by your children, they should be made with the very best materials, and be of timeless quality.
For more than a decade I practiced the craft of traditional darkroom printing, committing many hundreds of black and white photographs to light sensitive paper under the gentle glow of red light. All of my early portraits for families were made this way – as Gelatin Silver prints.
In 2010 I saw some exquisite platinum and palladium prints created by Irving Penn, and immediately began to learn the process. Despite being costly, relatively complex and very time-consuming to make, dedicated photographers and collectors of fine photography have always been beguiled by the characteristic tonal scale and inherent value of prints formed from the noble metals. It took some time to get good at, but I fell in love with the process and its qualities, and up until mid-2015 printed little else.
Most recently I've been making prints digitally with a modified printer, replacing the colour inks with a monochrome set formed from carbon. In order to get warm platinum prints, I would add plenty of palladium, work with a hot developer and introduce lots of humidity during printing. The seven shades of warm grey ink used now, give the tonal response I sought with the historical process, but with the advantage of deeper, richer shadows. Being carbon, they will endure for generations of enjoyment.
Thanks to Rebecca Portsmouth for the portrait of me.
Please use the contact form to make any enquiries. Alternatively you can reach me directly on 07877932954 or via email: firstname.lastname@example.com
I look forward to hearing from you.

What happened to the good ol' days, like in the movies. A good old fashioned warning shot into the air. Now that would work much better than just aiming at a BG. A gun to some, is just a gun, but when they hear that BOOM!!!, they snap very quickly back into reality.
I know you can't do this, but wouldn't it be nice. The guy in the restaurant, the guy in the truck, many others. A shot into the air would definitely wake some BGs up.

Based on my understanding of this thread I am not going to count Military time So, the following.
I was working Tech Support (Hardware) for what was at that time a Mom and Pop operation and was doing a repair job on a crashed hard drive on a customer system(Novell Mirrored server so, He was never actually down). Finished up at around 10:00 PM and went to the parking lot to my (at that time) Van. There were three individuals attempting to force entry. One turned and threatend me with a knife.
At a distance of about 35 feet, I pushed back my jacket and exposed my .45 Govt in a Bianchi 111 holster and stated "I do not think so Jose". All I saw thereafter was ******** and elbows .
Reported the incident to the County LEO and got "Damn, wish they would have given You an excuse".

Warner Promotions inks Moore
Warner Promotions, a newly formed boxing promotional company based out of Cleveland, Ohio, announced that it has signed former USA Boxing Junior Olympic National Champion and current professional Junior Welterweight prospect Dante Moore to a promotional contract. Moore, currently 6-0, with 4 knockouts, will make his debut for Warner Promotions on Friday, January 29th at the Legendary Cleveland Gray's Armory in downtown Cleveland.
Moore is coming off of a 4 round decision over the formerly undefeated Nathan Kempa in Mississippi in October. He is scheduled to headline his first 6 round bout on January 29 th against an opponent to be determined. He is trained locally at the Old School Boxing club by standout trainer Joe Delguyd and his father Darrell Moore.
Warner Promotions President, Antonio Castro, feels that signing a boxer the caliber of Dante Moore will put the promotional company on the map and will jump start boxing in the Cleveland area. "Here's a young man from Cleveland, who's just 20 years old, and will be a future World Champion," predicted Castro. "Not only does he have all the tools to become a World Champion inside the ring, but he is also a very high character individual that carries himself very well outside of the ring. That's just as important to us as a startup company."
Cleveland has been a hot bed for amateur boxing in the last 10 years. Cleveland, along with Cincinnati, are the only cities to have had a representative for Team USA going into the 2004 and 2008 Olympic games. "With all of the talent that is here in our city, there's no reason why Warner Promotions will not be successful," Castro said. "We are going to be signing more talented local boxers in the future and it is our goal to build a fourth franchise here in Cleveland to go along with the Cavaliers, Browns, and Indians."

Grindcore antagonists COMPLETE FAILURE set loose their newest album "The Art Gospel of Aggravated Assault". The band from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania took three years to hone this weapon of sonic destruction. "The Art Gospel of Aggravated Assault" is the band's tour de force, fusing ferocious speed and aggression with their violent, iconoclastic stance. Each of the album's ten tracks is a genuine article of out-and-out fury without a hint of remorse, making this release one of the most visceral and honest Grindcore records to this day.
When COMPLETE FAILURE first hit the stage at the White Eagle in Pittsburgh on April 14, 2007 their impact was immediate. This memorable event and shows to follow created a buzz that led to the band's first record deal in late 2007. Their debut full-length "Perversions of Guilt" was recorded, mixed and mastered by Steve Austin – better known as frontman of TODAY IS THE DAY. From March to July 2008 COMPLETE FAILURE first toured North America and Europe with such bands as TODAY IS THE DAY, RWAKE, MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT, FUCK THE FACTS, PSYOPUS and others. This journey resulted not only in a growing international fan-base, but also in a self-released live album "Good Things Happening to Bad People - Live from Bern Switzerland" (2008).
In April 2009 COMPLETE FAILURE, in the best DIY Punk tradition, self recorded and self released sophomore album "Heal No Evil", which was picked up and re-issued on a label after the first versions sold out completely. For this release COMPLETE FAILURE started to work in their own studio, where now all their material is produced.
A quite diverse list of influences has been credited to COMPLETE FAILURE by the critics. Their Punk and Hardcore roots are underlined by comparison with such bands as BLACK FLAG, HIS HERO IS GONE, MAN IS THE BASTARD and POISON IDEA. Yet also surprising classics have been quoted including BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and URIAH HEEP, while others name EYEHATEGOD, MUSE and RADIOHEAD.
Therefore it comes as no surprise that despite the brutal crushing power of "The Art Gospel of Aggravated Assault", a musical and lyrical intelligence can be found that reveals COMPLETE FAILURE to be more than just another Grindcore act. For those who like PIG DESTROYER, BRUTAL TRUTH, MISERY INDEX, ROTTEN SOUND and NASUM this album is a sure bet, yet these Americans beg to differ. None shall escape their wrath!
