Toward the end of 2012 he released his highly anticipated collaborative single with Nicky Romero. "I Could Be the One" was a smash hit and was featured heavily on reality TV shows and radio play across Europe. In 2013, Avicii teamed up with Ericsson and created the first "crowdsourced" track, which enabled the producer to connect to fans and promote his brand. The single "3 Million" was released to celebrate the three-millionth fan on his Facebook page. "Levels" was nominated for the Best Dance Recording at the 2013 Grammys but lost out to Skrillex & Sirah's "Bangarang." Ahead of his debut album True, he released the single "Wake Me Up" in June 2013. Featuring Aloe Blacc, it reached the top of the U.K. charts and confidently showed off his new musical direction, which was a more traditional style of pop. A remixed version of the album, True: Avicii by Avicii, arrived in 2014 and featured club-aimed versions of the same tracks. A year later his album Stories continued to explore the mixing of EDM and pop, this time with guests like Zac Brown, Wyclef Jean, Matisyahu, and Martin Garrix in support. ~ Jon O'Brien

I need Help
I have a store and i get 100 orders a dayi work with dropshipperi need tools that will help manage all of this
please give me suggestions
What shopping cart system or ecommerce tool you use now?
I suggest you get some "people". Yeah, some extra hands could come handy.Other than that you need some book keeping software (QuickBooks) and inventory control system which may already be included in your shopping cart platform.
A good software is MOM (Mail Order Manager) although it is kind of complicated to integrate with some shopping carts. It keeps everything centralized; contact information, shipping addresses, billing addresses, inventory, credit card information, etc.

Faculty Recruitment and Retention Initiatives
The president and provost have allocated significant funds to support initiatives that enable the Office for Faculty Advancement (OFA) to work collaboratively with deans, chancellors, and department chairs or directors to build and retain a diverse and inclusive faculty across the
three campuses of the University of Washington. These initiatives assist the implementation of faculty recruitment and retention goals established in the university-wide Diversity Blueprint; they support changes to the Faculty Code that recognize excellence in faculty research, teaching, and service that promotes diversity and equal opportunity; and they help realize key priorities of the president's Race and Equity Initiative.
Organizational Excellence
Building on decades of university-wide organizational improvement work, Organizational Excellence aligns with UW strategies to provide leadership, transparency and coordination of improvement efforts in academic and administrative units, and across functional areas at the university. Together with faculty, staff and students, we manage complex work, improve processes, analyze and solve problems, spread ideas and knowledge, and build capacity to do this type of work. This program is linked to Results Washington, the State of Washington's data-driven performance management and continuous improvement approach.
More information can be found on the Organizational Excellence website or by contacting Ruth Johnston, associate vice provost, email@example.com, 206 685 9838.
Data-Driven Discovery
10/22/2012 and 12/2/2012
Last year the Provost set aside funds to be used for hiring faculty that would help to position the University of Washington as a leader in data-driven discovery. Details of how this funding would work for candidates on the Seattle campus is provided in the overview document and implementation document below. Deans, directors, Department/unit chairs, or search committee chairs from the Seattle campus who seek to participate in this initiative should send email to email@example.com and also to firstname.lastname@example.com, as described in the implementation document.
University of Washington Bothell and University of Washington Tacoma are also participating in this initiative. Please contact (email@example.com) in Tacoma or (email@example.com) in Bothell for details of how the initiative will work on those campuses.
Two Years to Two Decades (2y2d)
Start: 6/2009
The Two Years to Two Decades (2y2d) Initiative articulates long-term strategic priorities for the UW that guide our near-term decisions. Our "two-year challenge" is to make sure that we stay true to our vision, mission and values in an era of declining state funding. Our "two-decade challenge" is to ensure that the decisions we make now reflect our shared sense of where we are going and set us up well to thrive in the 21st Century. 2d stakeholders have articulated where they want the UW to be in 20 years and the 2y-focused Sustainable Academic Business Plan works to make that vision a practical, sustainable reality. The following initiatives are 2y priorities for 2012-2013:
- Teaching & Learning in the 21st Century (ongoing): Meeting the needs of diverse, dispersed student populations
- Fostering Collaboration (ongoing): Fostering collaborative research, teaching, and learning
- Organizational Effectiveness Initiative (ongoing): Improving work processes, increasing effectiveness, and measuring success
Activity Based Budgeting Project
Start: 10/2009
The UW is currently assessing the potential value and feasibility of implementing a new activity based budgeting (ABB) system. ABB is a method of budgeting in which the activities that incur costs in every functional area are accounted for, analyzed, and then linked to the mission and strategic goals of the institution. The full costs of programs and services are then more transparent and available to help with planning, budgeting and decision making.
NEXTCITY: Sustainable Urbanization
- NEXTCITY: Sustainable Urbanization
Under the leadership of Provost Phyllis Wise, NEXT CITY: Sustainable Urbanization served as a university-wide theme between 2009 and 2011 to focus attention on the University of Washington's urban teaching, research and outreach activities. Cities and their people were the emphasis of major university lecture series, seminars, cultural and education events, and public round tables on the challenges and opportunities of urbanization.

Ben Roethlisberger has a surprising homework project during the Pittsburgh Steelers ' bye week : safeguarding a cracked right thumb.
Roethlisberger hurt the thumb on his throwing hand sometime during Pittsburgh's 24-17 win over Cincinnati on Sunday.
"It was tough to decide it on the sideline, but we did all of the tests ( Monday ), and it's fractured in there," Roethlisberger recounted. He is not sure when it happened, only that he spotted it while coming out for the second half. Odds
Roethlisberger failed to miss a snap as the Steelers improved to 7-3. He finished Seven of 11 passes for Seventy yards in the 2nd half, including a perfect 4-for-4 in the game-winning drive in quarter 3. "Squeezing the ball is the hardest part, but it is a good thing that I had a glove on it because that helps gripping it a little bit."
This isn't the first time Roethlisberger has played with a busted thumb. Scores
"It hurt, but ( Steelers head tutor ) John Norwig did a good job taping it up, making a fast splint out of tape and going with it," Roethlisberger announced. He suffered a corresponding injury in 2005, though it didn't hinder him from leading the Steelers to their 5th Super Bowl title. Pittsburgh travels to Kansas City on November.
There shouldn't be any issues this time either, though Roethlisberger may continue to play with a splint.
"I won't have to throw for roughly a week, ( till ) next Wednesday or whenever we practice next week," Roethlisberger announced. Twenty-seven. "So, that'll be a great time for it to rest. For me, it'll just be getting familiar with throwing with a splint on again and a glove on, which I have done before."
Wide receiver Mike Wallace stated that he wasn't aware Roethlisberger was even hurt, though the quarterback wore a black brace during a shortened practice on Tues..
It isn't unusual for Roethlisberger to play thru minor wounds.
"I didn't even notice to inform you the truth," Wallace declared. He suffered a sprained foot in a loss to Houston on Oct. 2 then tied a franchise record with five touchdown passes in a success over Tennessee.
"That's just Ben," Wallace declared. "You know that something little isn't going to slow him down like that."
Roethlisberger has been playing some of the best soccer of his career during Pittsburgh's surge following a 2-2 start. The Steelers have won five of 6 going into their bye week despite an inconsistent running game and a defense that is put up its common stellar numbers but has been struggling to take the ball away.
He did not quite get there against the Bengals, though he demonstrated his playcalling ability during a couple of no-huddle drives in the second half, including the 11-play, 81-yard march that stopped with Rashard Mendenhall's 9-yard touchdown run that gave Pittsburgh the lead for good. Roethlisberger is completing 64 percent of his passes for 1,726 yards and 13 touchdowns against just 4 interceptions over the past six games and became the first quarterback in team history to top 300 yards in three straight games when he went over the mark against Arizona ( 361 ), New england ( 365 ) and Baltimore ( 330 ).
Roethlisberger asserted it was critical for the Steelers to come back with an emphatic answer after the Bengals rallied from a 14-point deficiency to tie the game at Seventeen.
"That was sort of the mindset — 'Let's go no-huddle and try and get down there. Let's answer, '" Roethlisberger recounted. It's our time to do it, so let's step up and score. "We take pride as an offense in wanting to be the very best. We usually want to answer. That's huge."
Particularly after Roethlisberger's last shot at operating out of the no-huddle ended in disaster as Baltimore's Terrell Suggs wonderfully read Roethlisberger's call for a bubble screen and popped up with an interception deep in Ravens territory to end a Pittsburgh scoring threat in a game Baltimore ultimately won, 23-20. If I can remember right, it's a pretty long drive, converting 3rd downs.
Don't expect Roethlisberger to turn into Peyton Manning, running his own show and spending Twenty seconds standing in the shotgun barking out signals.
"We want to be dangerous," Wallace claimed. Yet it is a serious step in the act of making the Steelers one of the most versatile offenses in the league. "We want to be well placed to beat teams in a lot of different ways."
Even if it implies the glove on Roethlisberger's hand has a little more padding for the following few weeks.

Best Of :: People & Places
The Fourth of July is supposed to be about freedom, and where better to celebrate liberty than the anarchistic Bolivar Peninsula? Want to drink openly on the beach? That's not a problem here. Neither is the possession and liberal use of extremely powerful fireworks. For two solid hours after the hot sun settles in Galveston Bay, the good folk of Bolivar launch steady streams of Roman candles and artillery shells into the air. The skies whine with whistling jakes, the dunes crackle with the reports of black cats, and sparklers sizzle on every beach house deck. Every hundred or so yards, there's another display, each of which must have cost hundreds of dollars and none of which is publicly funded. Thomas Jefferson would be proud.
Houston's signature waterway has been a murky mystery since before the Allen brothers followed it upstream and planted the future Space City on its banks. But at least back then its green-brown waters were clear of the flotsam and jetsam of modern civilization. Starting this summer, a vessel called The Mighty Tidy is aiming to rectify the situation. It cruises the bayou five days a week from Shepherd to the East Loop, scooping up tons of floating garbage. It's also equipped with attachments to pick trash off the bayou banks and out of overhanging trees. Credit its unusual colors to those zany Art Guys, Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing, who turned the quarter-million-dollar boat into a flamingo-pink nautical vacuum cleaner.
Talk about perfect timing. On June 26, just two days before the 25th anniversary of Houston's Pride Parade, the U.S. Supreme Court knocked down Texas's homosexual sodomy law by a 6-3 vote. The law, which outlawed sodomy only when practiced by gays, was challenged by two Houston men named John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were arrested in 1998 when police discovered them having sex in Lawrence's apartment. Speaking for the court, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy declared, "The state cannot demean [homosexuals'] existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime." While conservative Justice Antonin Scalia said the court had "taken sides in the culture war" and had "largely signed on to the so-called homosexual agenda," activists across the country pooh-poohed him and gathered to celebrate. At a City Hall rally in Houston, Ray Hill, a longtime local warrior for gay rights, happily declared, "We can't -- by this decision -- ever go back."
Alicia Lee's son is a resident at Willow River Farms, a division of the nonprofit Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation. Every fall the residents of this Brookshire, Texas, facility made fruitcakes. That is, until Barbara Bush, for whom Lee had once volunteered at the White House, suggested they expand their repertoire to include gingersnaps. Six years ago, Lee sent a tin of Willow River Farms gingersnaps to Bush at Kennebunkport. The former first lady liked them so much, she sent out tins to all of her friends at Christmastime. Since then Lee has also added mouthwatering cheese snaps to the Farms' list of offerings. The cookies sell for between $15 and $25 a tin. And last year, Lee sold $215,000 worth of treats. The proceeds have paid for electronic doors for wheelchair residents, extra hospital beds and clinic refurbishing. Get your holiday orders in now.
If it's September, it must be Stanton Welch -- as artistic director of Houston Ballet, that is. But it was a long good-bye for now-emeritus artistic director Ben Stevenson. He first resigned back in February 2002, but a change of heart kept him here through June 2003. Well, in spirit at least. Stevenson wasn't around much after he resigned a second time and the board selected Welch as his replacement in January of this year. Other assignments, most notably with the Dallas-Fort Worth ballet, kept him on the road. It will be interesting to see what sort of continued presence Stevenson has at HB and how that will affect Welch's direction of the company. It's a tough job to take over from a living legend.
We like our quotes short, to the point and all-encompassing, and Dave Hickey's definition of Tex-Mex fills the bill on all three counts. In the Houston Press issue of December 26, 2002, in an attempt to clarify an earlier pithy quote ("Rock and roll is like Mexican food. As it improves in quality it stops being what it is"), the Texas-born critic said he meant to say Tex-Mex, not Mexican food. What's more, he likes Tex-Mex more than the stuff from across the Rio Grande. "My commitment is to Tex-Mex," he told the Press. "Which I define as the absence of fucking vegetables."

Colts beat writer Josh Wilson says that Hilton is 'clearly the one receiver, [Colts WR Reggie Wayne ] is the two.' Wilson relegates newly-acquired Colts WR Hakeem Nicks to the WR3 role, and expects that when Nicks comes on to the field, Wayne will play the slot position - not Hilton. With Wayne on the sidelines with a knee injury in 2013, Hilton posted the highest stats of his career, catching 82 balls for 1,083 yards and five touchdowns.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is good news for Hilton's usage in the Colts offense. While there was never a serious threat that he would be unseated by Nicks or Wayne, it is nice to hear that he's clearly the team's top receiving option going into 2014. And Wayne's presence on the field may help Hilton statistically, as defenses deal with two strong receivers. Hilton is appropriately valued as the 24th WR in drafts, Wayne may be undervalued as the 37th, and with this news, Nicks now looks overvalued as the 43rd WR off the board.

The Focus is a fun car. Interior fit and finish is best in class, handling above average, and it's a real looker. MPG is pretty good and the car has plenty of power for everyday commuting.
On the other hand I am not thrilled with MFT or the way Ford is handling it, and the DCT can have a mind of it's own; especially when the weather gets into Summer like temps.
Based on problems reported by others I am also concerned about long-term reliability and the expenses involved in maintaining all this high tech "stuff" once the warranty expires. If I had it to do over again I would have purchased the SE Sport and skipped the MFT/DCT nightmare since that's where most of the problems seem to occur.
Shop the competition, check forums, take test drives, rent cars that interest you like you did with the Focus. Every vehicle has it's pro and cons. I plan on selling mine as soon as the MFT climate control issue is fixed and then I am buying a Subaru.

And County Executive, thank you for your leadership and for your focus. From day one, you've understood, and you've made Prince George's County a safer place for people to work and live and do business, and that Prince George's County's full potential will come to be realized. There's nothing more important that any of us do in the short trust that we have to administer the people's covenant than to make our government more effective when it comes to reducing violent crime -- to improving public safety.
And that's what the meeting we just witnessed is all about, here in Prince George's County, with the great County Executive in Rushern Baker. With Police Chief Mark Magaw, and also Sheriff High. I'm also joined by Col. Marcus Brown, our Superintendent of State Police. Secretary Gary Maynard, who runs our Department of Public Safety, which also includes, in our State, Parole and Probation. Secretary Sam Abed, who is our Secretary of Juvenile Services. Kristen Mahoney, executive director of our Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention.
By all of those titles and introductions, I think you'll see the commitment we have to coordination, to cooperation, to better communication -- all to the end of reducing violent crime and improving public safety in our neighborhoods.
I just have a couple of bullet points I'm going to share with you. There are many reasons, and lots of evidence of the progress that is being made here in public safety in Prince George's County, and all of that progress should give us reason to work even harder in the months ahead and the days ahead to realize that every single day is an opportunity to save lives and increase public safety. There are very few things that any of us do that I think are quite as gratifying or rewarding as to know that our efforts led to the protection of even a single life. That if we can spare even one mom having to be at the graveside of a son, than we have done important work.
And we're here to announce the results of a couple of collaborations that are critically important because we've seen work in other jurisdictions, and they had to do with targeting those repeat violent offenders who are out there violating very often the terms of their parole and probation. Often times, they've already been charged with very serious crimes and yet the warrant has gone unserved as they try to elude law enforcement, hopscotching from one side of the border to another.
And so the two very important things we have in motion, that we're doing together -- the County and the State -- one has to do with the parallel movement that the State's Attorney will also talk about. The unit of the State's Attorney's office that will target repeat violent offenders as soon as they violate the terms of their parole and probation, get them into court right away, serve those warrants and make sure that their probations are rescinded and that they go to jail.
The other thing we're here to announce is over the course of three and a half weeks we have been running a joint warrant initiative -- State Police, County Police, often times municipal police departments all working together with Parole and Probation. And so from August 2nd to August 27th -- 719 offenders were arrested or kept behind bars, charged with crimes including attempted murder, rape, sexual assault, child abuse and drug distribution. And these actions have closed 818 warrants. That's a lot of work, in the middle of the night, by a lot of dedicated law enforcement people going out and knocking on the right doors in order to protect the public from repeat violent offenders and it makes a big difference.
The initiative was funded by the Governor's Office of Crime Control & Prevention -- but ultimately, it was really funded by all of us who are Americans because it came from our federal government. Those crime grants that were restored by President Obama and his administration, that are now -- many are threatened with reduction -- but $250,000 from the federal Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program, secured by the hard work of our Congressional delegation. Senator Mikulski, Senator Cardin, Donna Edwards, Steny Hoyer -- they fought for those because they saw that it would help you do your job. They saw that these grants would help make law enforcement work more effectively for the people we protect.
So I want to congratulate the Prince George's County Sheriff's Office who took the lead on this, and also the Maryland Division of Parole and Probation, the Maryland State Police, the Prince George's County Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service. And we're going to continue to work on better collaboration and coordination in these efforts. It really is the key.
None of this happens by chance; it happens because we've chosen to enter into the partnerships that work. We've chosen to do the effective things that reduce violent crime. And the Prince George's County violent crime and property crime rates have been driven down to their lowest ever reported since we've had standard reporting since 1975 -- and that's a tremendous tribute to the courageous men and women of this department as well as the courageous neighbors who are working with their police.
I want to just sketch out five initiatives that are all a part of this effective fight against crime.
One is the Violence Prevention Initiative, where we're doing a much better job than we ever have of identifying the most violent people who are currently out on the streets, under parole or probation order, and we focus our supervision on them. And if they violate, we make sure they're brought to court and back in front of a sentencing judge right away so that they can serve the balance of their term or as much as we can possibly get.
Second, we inherited a huge backlog of unanalyzed DNA evidence and, after clearing the backlog of 24,000 unanalyzed samples, we've now been able to use DNA evidence to arrest 400 murderers, rapists, burglars, and other criminals who otherwise would still be walking the streets.
Third, modern technology is allowing us to combine law enforcement databases in ways that we never have before. It used to be that you needed your own pass code to access -- or you needed to know somebody at that department or somebody at this department, or somebody that controls the secret pass code in order to allow a detective bureau anywhere in our State to solve a violent crime against one of our citizens. Well, those days are behind us now. We've created a Public Safety Dashboard, it receives about 50,000 hits a day, as it searches through what were about 92 disparate data sources that are all combined in a simple sort of search engine for law enforcement, if you will, that's helped them to solve crimes and improve clearance rates across our state.
Fourth, we've been able to forward advanced technology tag readers -- the license plate readers. A few years ago, we only had a few of those. But because of the federal grants, because of these investments, and because of the new work of law enforcement, we now have license plate readers deployed at local departments all across our State, and as a result, you see -- I think Prince George's County has to be the leader in our State in terms of rate of reduction in auto thefts. Five years ago, that's all I ever heard about at our community meetings. Amen?
Council members, elected officials, back me up -- all we ever heard about at community meetings five or six years ago were, "Auto theft. Auto theft. Auto theft.' But now in Prince George's County we've been able to virtually cut that in half over the last few years -- and more than half.
Fifth, the Capitol Area Regional Fugitive Task Force. We have posted over 2,400 warrants to help make our neighborhoods safer in the whole DC metropolitan area. We need to look at this DC metro area as if that border didn't exist, because that's how the criminals look at it. And so with better cooperation on both sides of the border, with the Regional Fugitive Task Force, we go after the most predatory repeat violent offenders, regardless of what side of the border they're on, serve those warrants, get them into court and get them behind bars before they can murder another one of our citizens whether in Prince George's, Montgomery or DC.
And one final note: through our Regional Gun Task Force, we've been able to seize 855 guns here in Prince George's County just since 2008. That has produced 238 arrests for illegal gun-trafficking, and kept weapons out of the hands of many who would have otherwise used them against citizens in our State.
So we're doing good things together, but this is not the time to set off the confetti cannons, as I heard the Prince George's County Police saying during the performance measurement session we just went through is that "One homicide is one too many.' And we have a lot of lives that we can save. And there's reason to be hopeful and optimistic that further strengthening and coordination and cooperation and communication between all law enforcement in our State, with the leadership here in Prince George's County -- we can save a lot of lives in the years ahead.
I have carried with me a passion for supporting our courageous men and women in law enforcement since my days as Mayor of Baltimore, where I saw what improved public safety can do for the future of a city, and for a whole metropolitan area. There's not a doubt in my mind that Prince George's County can be the leader in the years ahead in violent crime reduction -- not just in the State of Maryland, but in the United States. And that would be a tremendous contribution to the future we hope to give to our children. So thank you all very much.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer?
That's the rumor. People is reporting that Jessica Simpson and singer/songwriter John Mayer are an item.
"She's tiptoeing back into the dating world," a source tells PEOPLE. "It's the first stage. She's never been happier."
I can see it. He dated Jennifer Love Hewitt, so you know he's not going for the brains. While Jessica has been rumored to have dated Dane Cook, Jared Leto and Adam Levine, she hasn't ever publicly stated that she's dated anyone since the breakup of her marriage to Nick Lachey.

Lecithin in Chocolate
August 22, 2010
Take a look at an ingredient label on a bar of chocolate. 9 times out of 10 you will see soy lecithin listed there.
Is using lecithin as an ingredient in chocolate important, and what is the benefit of using it?
Lecithin is a phospholipid typically derived from soybeans or eggs. In its liquid form, it is a yellow-brownish fatty substance with a fairly thick viscosity.
Lecithin is very important to chocolate because it reduces viscosity, replaces expensive ingredients such as cocoa butter, improves the flow properties of chocolate, and can improve the shelf life for certain products.
Viscosity reduction, or making a coating thinner, can certainly be done by adding cocoa butter or other fats and oils, but it takes greater amounts to accomplish this and is therefore more costly.
What Percentage of Lecithin is Used in Chocolate?
If 3.0% or 4.0% additional cocoa butter (could be even greater depending on the viscosity of the finished product) is needed to thin down a coating, only 0.5% of lecithin would be needed to get the same result. A little lecithin goes a long way.
However, there is a limit for lecithin. After 0.5%, the reducing effects on viscosity stop and can even start to go the other way and increase the viscosity.
Chocolate manufacturers know just how much to use in each formulation to maximize the advantage in viscosity.

Really? If you would care to look at the labelling on Lindt chocolate, there is clearly stated, that it has soy lecithin in it. Waxy taste however does not come from that, rather it comes from replacing cocoa butter with cheaper fats and oils, also, might be the wrong tempering regimes and glucose syrup to blame.
I don't think any of the European chocolates have lecithin in them. It makes me sick. I can eat Lindt all day long with no ill effects, but Hersheys makes me sick and tastes like wax.
Per Epstein and Olsan, March 3, 1912, lecithin increases fermentation. Per "mnwelldir.org", cancer metabolizes through a process of fermentation; and fermentation requires sugar. Sugar and soy lecithin are ingredients in most American-made chocolates. Many people break out after eating chocolate because their bodies do not easily digest/assimilate lecithin. For these people, lecithin and sugar, combined, can also be a deadly because it stands to reason that if sugar gets trapped in the body, by lecithin, then the growth of cancerous tumors accelerates. Therefore, chocolate manufacturers should exclude lecithin from their products.

15,000 more were sent in over a 37 hour period. That was followed by the last Port-a-Thon which just ended with 19,071 apps sent to RIM in just 36 hours, according to a tweet sent out by RIM. That works out to 529 apps per hour or $52,900 from RIM's coffers.
Meanwhile, while the U.S. markets were closed on Monday to observe the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Canadian markets were open and the continued good news about RIM topped by the video we showed you comparing the BlackBerry Z10 quite favorably with the Apple iPhone, got investors in a buying mood. Last week, we showed you the Island Reversal on RIM's stock chart which is a bullish pattern. On Monday, the shares soared nearly 11% to close at $17.41 CD, up $1.70 CD. Of course, RIM has a long way to go to reach its all time high which was above $140 USD in 2008.

I lost my Dad to cancer this past November... my brother handled cleaning out his place and boxing up his stuff. Yesterday at a family get together, he gave me these rifles that belonged to my Dad.
Top to bottom: Winchester 94 AE 30-30
Henry 22LR
Ithaca M49 22
I haven't Googled 'em up yet... Of the three, I'm most impressed by the Henry. The fit and finish are superior, and the action is very smooth and solid... has a "power steering" feel to it. The Winchester feels a little "loose" and "sloppy", but seems to function well. The rougher wood and "less-finished" metal work of the Ithaca remind me of a base AK...
Any opinions on what I got here...?

What happened to Fred and Galaxy1000 website. I tried to order 2 units yesterday and today - when I go to check out the cart, all I get is an error message page. I sent and e-mail through the comments section, but no response yet.
even if they software upgraded the module to allow audio streaming, I doubt it would sound very good. The amplifier in the CTS changes audio equalization (it seems so to me anyway) when onstar mode is active. Probably optimized for voice quality. Music would probably sound pretty flat.
^^^ You know... that makes sense... It'll bet you're right.
If you are willing to forego XM, this is still the best way to add an ipod or similar:
Hi, I ran into the same problem ordering. Fred's IT guy is updating the ordering tool and I guess it has a couple of bugs. When I inquired about the order via e-mail, Fred called me right back. I paid via PayPal Thursday and received it today (Saturday). Very quick turn around and great customer service.
Fred is on top of things - he responded this evening to my earlier e-mail about not being able to order a unit off the web site. I'll check into the Paypal routine and order one or two (depending on if it works on a 2009 Tahoe.)
I just wanted to touch base and thank all of you that did get the broken link on my page for emailing me. It appears there was a piece of code out of place. We are in the middle of changing the order basket so that our customers from Canada may order online. Right now they will get an error message and will need to email me for a PayPal link.
Thank you all for your business, we appreciate it!!!
Order today at www.galaxy1000.com
I love mine! It work great except one thing. When the nav is on, it overrides your conversation. It is annoying, but i rarely use my nav so it isn't that big a deal.
For all of you that have purchased the Galaxy 1000, you know that there is an extra spot for a small plug on the unit itself. This plug is for people that would like switched power for an accessory. We will have these harnesses available for purchase by the end of next week. Cost has not been finalized but should be under $25.00.
I'll post more details as I have them,
Ordering was easy and shipping quick. I installed mine last week works great except callers do notice that the microphone volume is lower than the handset or my jawbone ear piece. Is there anyway to adjust the mic gain?
Thanks for your order, your business is truly appreciated,
Fred really goes above and beyond with customer service!
I was one of those having problems ordering - e-mailed Fred several times, completed the order and it arrived today. Hopefully I'll have some time this warm weekend to install it!
Installation took a bit longer than some due to the fact that I am not as intimate with the rear panels of the trunk! Easy as pie to disconnect and reconnect to the Galaxy1000 unit. Pairing up my Blackberry and the unit was a bit difficult. When I pressed the Onstar button, the led flashed red and then turned to flashing green. It would not sync. I called Fred and he explained that it alternates red and green! got off the phone with him and 2 seconds later was hooked up. Works great. Now all I have to do is get some voice phone numbers into the bb and I'll be calling hands free!
Can't say enough about Fred and the promt service, response, and being on the phone with me to walk me through it on a Sat am.
I am very intimate with my "rear panels"

MathGroup restarting
As you may have noticed, MathGroup has been down for a while.
Due to upgrading of the operating systems on the Sun machines
in the physics department, most of the machines were turned off
and some networking changed.
The yoda machine is now back up and I think that the mailer is
working properly again. The MathGroup anonymous ftp server no
longer exists since MathSource at WRI has taken over this function
so well.
It is possible that some of you may get two copies or more of

Just in time for the peak holiday travel season, Delta Air Lines has increased fares by $4 to $10 roundtrip across most domestic routes.
Several airlines had matched the increase as of 1 p.m. ET, though it was no guarantee that the hike would stick.
Regardless, this marks the 12th time this year that airlines have tried to raise fares. But they have not been as successful as they have been in the past.
Only three fare hikes have stuck this year, two of them initiated by Delta.
"Domestic airlines have had little success raising base airfares in 2013 as consolidation and the transition to 90% load factors continue," says Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com, which tracks fares.
The last time an airline was able to raise fares in December was 2010 when oil prices were in the low $90s, Seaney says.
Last year, there were 15 attempts to raise fares, and seven were successful.
ALSO ONLINE: Airline cell service can be pricey but popular
TWITTER: Follow USA TODAY's Nancy Trejos
In 2011, there were 22 attempts, and nine stuck.
So far, American — including merger partner US Airways — and United had matched on many routes, according to spokespeople for the companies. Alaska Airlines had matched on routes on which it codeshares with Delta, according to FareCompare.com.
Typically, air fare increases don't succeed unless low-cost carriers such as Southwest Airlines participate.
Seaney says there has been "no activity as yet from Southwest or JetBlue" on matching the increase.
"Historically US Airways has not scuttled many hikes so I don't believe the newly minted American will change this dynamic much," Seaney says in a note about the latest fare hike. "It will be interesting to see how much leverage Southwest Airlines potential lack of participation has in scuttling domestic hikes given the culmination of four years of consolidation."
In particular, Seaney says he wonders whether the big airlines American, Delta and United will "tiptoe around Southwest" or if they'll "be forced to rollback or completely disregard" the attempt.

If you managed not to follow last week's Stephen Colbert controversy, bully for you.
If you missed it, while attempting to poke fun at the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation, the Comedy Central satirist managed to offend large numbers of people on the Internet by talking about his not-actually-real Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation For Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever. It became quite a thing, with a billion online articles and cable news segments, and enough nasty Twitter arguments that it almost made you want to go outside and sit in a park by yourself.
But I want to highlight one article in particular, in the Wall Street Journal. This is Jeff Yang, writing about two of the organizers of the anti-Colbert movement, Suey Park and Eunsong Kim.
Meanwhile, references to the Washington Redskins and its owner Dan Snyder have essentially faded from view. There is not a single mention of either in Park and Kim's Time.com piece, which is focused on the plague of racism among white liberals. Conservative firebrands like Michelle Malkin (famous for her outrageous book, "In Defense of Internment," scurrilously asserting that the government's World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans was warranted) seized the opportunity to publicly cosign the reframed narrative, without comment from the hashtag's initiators.
Billionaire Republican Snyder couldn't have asked for a better outcome — or paid for one.
Now look, the future of the Redskins name won't be determined by Comedy Central segments or Twitter hashtag campaigns. But, to the extent that it matters, I think Yang is completely wrong. As long as the Redskins are mentioned in mass-market stories about racial offense that are consumed by a wide swath of casual fans and decision makers, I think that's a bad deal for the local team.
And to my point, Colbert began his Monday night show — his first chance to respond to the outrage — on a therapist's coach. Wearing an RGIII jersey, a Redskins hat and a burgundy blanket, and being counseled by actor BD Wong. (Watch it here.) This, remember, is in the guise of his oblivious and insensitive Colbert Report host. I just don't see how that helps the team.
After the intro, and after many minutes of faux outrage and discussion of the controversy, Colbert closed the segment like this. (Watch it here.)
"But I am back, and Nation, I want to apologize," he said. "For caring enough to try to bridge a cultural divide with my foundation. I thought we were ready. If I have a fault, it's that I believed in the American people too much. Was I wrong to do that? But the people have called for canceling Colbert, and I am willing to meet them halfway. Effective immediately – and I cannot believe I am saying this – I am shutting down the worldwide operations of the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation For Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever. I have to. The saddest part is, because of all the attention, we raised a lot of money over the weekend. Money that will now be donated to Dan Snyder's Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation. Which Twitter seems to be fine with, because I haven't seen [expletive] about that."

Manchester United came agonisingly close to retaining their Premier League title only to have it snatched away in the final seconds of the Premier League season.
In the end, United finished the season trophy-less, and for a club with astronomical expectations - a repeat of that next season won't be good enough.
After a relatively frugal few years, expect manager Alex Ferguson to spend this summer.
Here, we take a look at the players whose names have been linked, both in the press and online, with a switch to Old Trafford.

Vaccines to Prevent Measles
Measles is a contagious disease that is caused by a virus. Measles starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It's followed by a rash that spreads over the entire body. Measles virus is a highly contagious virus and spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. Measles can be prevented with vaccination.
Children should receive two doses of MMR:
MMRV vaccine is licensed for children 12 months to 12 years old and may be used in place of MMR vaccine if varicella vaccination is also needed. A health care provider can help decide which vaccine to use.
MMR vaccine is very safe and effective. MMR vaccine is the best way to protect children against measles and to prevent them from spreading the disease to others.
Anyone born during or after 1957, who has never had measles or has never been vaccinated, is at risk for measles. They should get at least one dose of the MMR vaccine. Two doses are recommended for adults at increased risk, such as students in college, trade school, and training programs, international travelers, and health care professionals.
If you are not sure if you are protected against measles, first try to find your vaccination records or documentation of measles immunity. If you do not have written documentation of measles immunity, you should get MMR vaccine. Another option is to have a doctor test your blood to determine whether you are immune, but this is likely to cost more and will take two doctor's visits. There is no harm in getting another dose of MMR vaccine if you may already be immune to measles.
Women who are planning to become pregnant should make sure they are protected against measles before they get pregnant. Most women of childbearing age were vaccinated as children with the MMR vaccine, but they should confirm this with their doctor. If they need to get vaccinated for measles, they should avoid becoming pregnant until one month (28 days) after receiving the MMR vaccine.
Pregnant women who are not protected against measles should wait until after they have given birth to get MMR vaccine.

Measles is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. Measles starts with a fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, and sore throat. It's followed by a rash that spreads over the entire body. It can lead to complications, such as ear infection, diarrhea, pneumonia, brain damage, and death.
The measles virus lives in the mucus in the nose and throat of an infected person. Measles virus is highly contagious virus and spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. Also, measles virus can live for up to two hours in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed. If other people breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, noses, or mouths, they can become infected.
Anyone who is not immune from either previous measles infection or from vaccination can get measles. The majority of people who get measles in the United States are unvaccinated.
In 2000, the United States declared that measles was eliminated from this country. However, measles remains a common disease in many countries throughout the world, including Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa. Every year, travelers with measles continue to bring the disease into the United States. Measles can spread when it reaches a community in the United States where groups of people are unvaccinated.

Colposcopy facts
- Colposcopy is a procedure used by physicians that provides a magnified and illuminated view of the vulva, vaginal walls, and uterine cervix.
- This procedure is often done to evaluate an abnormal appearing cervix or an abnormal Pap smear result.
- Special tests are done during colposcopy, including acetic acid wash, use of color filters, and sampling (biopsy) of tissues.
- Cervical abnormalities include pre-cancer (dysplasia), which can be rated as mild, moderate, or severe, and cancer.
- The type of treatment procedure chosen by the physician depends on the severity of the cervical abnormality, which is determined by analysis of the colposcopy biopsy sample.
- The treatments for cervical abnormalities include the destruction (ablation) procedures - cryocautery and carbon dioxide laser -- and the removal (resection) procedures -- loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), cold knife conization, and hysterectomy.
- Except for hysterectomy, which is almost always used for invasive cancer and is rarely used for dysplasia, most of the treatments are all safe enough to be performed in the doctor's office.
What is colposcopy?
Colposcopy is a gynecological procedure that illuminates and magnifies the vulva, vaginal walls, and uterine cervix in order to detect and examine abnormalities of these structures. The cervix is the base of the womb (uterus) and leads out to the birth canal (vagina). During colposcopy, special tests [acetic acid wash, use of color filters, and sampling (biopsy) of tissues] can be done. Colposcopy is not to be confused with culdoscopy, which is the insertion of an instrument through the wall of the vagina in order to view the pelvic area behind the vagina.
Why is colposcopy done?
Colposcopy is usually done in one of two circumstances: to examine the cervix either when the result of a Pap smear is abnormal, or when the cervix looks abnormal during the collection of a Pap smear. Even if a Pap smear result is normal, colposcopy is sometimes necessary when the cervix appears visibly abnormal to the clinician performing the Pap smear. The purpose of the colposcopy is to determine what is causing the abnormal looking cervix or the abnormal Pap smear so that appropriate treatment can be given.
How is colposcopy done?
A colposcope is a microscope that resembles a pair of binoculars. The instrument has a range of magnification lenses. It also has color filters that allow the physician to detect tiny abnormal blood vessels on the cervix. The colposcope is used to examine the vaginal walls and cervix through the vaginal opening.
- The first step of the procedure is examining the vulva and vagina for signs of genital warts or other growths. (Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV), which is a sexually transmitted virus that can cause cervical cancer.)
- A Pap smear is then taken.
- The cervix is inspected and the special tests are done (see below).
Colposcopy is a safe procedure with no complications other than vaginal spotting of blood.
The examiner wants to get a good look at the squamocolumnar junction, which is the area of the cervix that gives rise to most cases of cervical cancer. The term squamocolumnar junction refers to the border between the two different types of cells (squamous cells that line the outer surface of the cervix and columnar cells that normally form the lining of the endocervical canal). The endocervical canal connects the cervix with the main part of the uterus. Most cases of cervical cancer originate from the squamous cells and, therefore, are referred to as squamous cell cervical cancer.
During colposcopy, the entire squamocolumnar junction is more likely to be seen in young women. The reason for this is that after menopause, the squamocolumnar junction tends to migrate inside the endocervical canal. Colposcopy, therefore, is occasionally not adequate in women after menopause. Therefore, if the whole squamocolumnar junction area of the cervix is not visible on colposcopy, another type of procedure may need to be performed that allows the entire squamocolumnar junction to be examined. (See cold knife cone biopsy below.)

|You can see the red marks around the top of her chest
Reach your own conclusions, but that's proof enough for me!
I use all organic products on my son. I was outraged when it was found out that the baby bottles I fed him with contained (the name fails me now) in their plastic.
I wish I could buy all organic food, but the budget doesn't allow.
I am having the same problem with my LO at the moment.. he has a rash on his back and his tummy constantly.. I have been putting it down to heat rash (now saying this sounds ridiculous as we are in minus figures) but reading this i am thinking maybe its his bubbles or the cream I am using?
I am super queer about Organic stuff touching my son. Since the day he was born I am always fanatic about making sure he has the right soaps and creams. And I am so glad I did! We were staying with my mother one evening and I failed to bring his California Baby bath soap and so I had to use what she had. (he was 2.5 at the time) and he broke out all over and it was sooo horrible! I will never let that happen again. so sorry your little girl had to go through that 🙁

Mounds Rock Crawl update [RFP's out]

Mounds Rock Crawl update [RFP's out]
Here's the update on the rock crawl course @ the Mounds. I've been hounding the Director as you'll see.
Now's the time for those who have contracting companies to become in the single most exciting project that 4 wheelers in Michigan have going.
It looks like the specificitation for the course have been identified and they may be looking for bidders very shortly.
I will try to get a copy of the RFP so I understand what it is they are asking for. We were never consulted as to the content of the course so it will be interesting to see what the RFP contains.
We are less than 60 days till the 2008 Grants need to be submitted. Unless GCP&R prempts the bids and submits a 'estimated' $$ amount for the course construction we might miss out on the Grant Application this year. Let's wait and see before rumors start to fly.
So who's going to bid??????????
I promise that I am not ignoring, you, Jim. We have been very busy getting ready for the launch of the summer season.
The RFP [Request For Proposal] for the design of the rock course is in the process of approval by the County's Purchasing Department. Due to the anticipated cost of the design, County Purchasing Policies require us to issue a formal RFP. It is a fairly lengthy process as the Purchasing Department is basically a one person operation due to budget cuts and is responsible for all of the County's major purchasing, not just the County Parks.
I know that this is frustrating, but we are committed to making this project happen. I think that the Parks Commission has been very consistent in its commitment to the Mounds and hope that track record will give you the confidence that we will get this project built.
If there are any interested contractors that would like to bid on the project
they should contact Genesee County Purchasing Director Eric Hopson. His email address is:
Amy M. McMillan, Director
Genesee County Parks and Recreation Commission
5045 Stanley Road
Flint, Michigan 48506
(810) 249-3812

There seems to be some criticism on some sectors of the alt-right, or if not the alt-right per se, individuals that are to the right of cucks, about White nationalism on the basis that there is no White nation or identity.
The main argument, they claim, is that historically there has been no such thing as "White culture" or "White identity". There is, they say, "German culture", "Irish culture", etc. Whites have never been a single bloc and have gladly killed and enslaved each other for centuries.
I will show that such arguments are not only wrong—worse, they're irrelevant.
Atomistic Fallacies
So first of all, if you're so eager to say that there's no White identity/culture/nation because what actually exists is German, Irish, Scottish etc. culture then I have to ask you what makes you think that there are such cultures too? The South of Germany is deeply Catholic, while the North is Protestant, and the two have very different cultures. The people in the Scottish Lowlands are very different from those of the Highlands, southern Italians are basically Third Worlders to the northerners, and don't even get me started with those fucking Catalonians in Spain.
So why is it that you're OK with saying there's a German culture and people when, clearly, there's no such thing? There are only Bavarians, Ostfrieslanders, people from the Han Stadts, etc. We could further divide this and say that the people from West Bavaria are not the same as East Bavarians. Or that there are some very different villages inside West Bavaria and that it's not accurate to use West Bavaria as an umbrella term to include them. Just keep going until you reach the point where there are only individuals and society is not real.
Common Threads to all Whites
Here, let's play a game. Tell me what city is the following picture from?
How about this one?
And this one?
Did your mind go anywhere other than a European country? I'm betting it didn't. In any case, whatever you guessed you were wrong. The first picture is from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the second one from Valparaíso, Chile, and the third one from Montevideo, Uruguay.
OK, last one. No tricks:
Paris, right? Nope. Buenos Aires again. Sorry.
But what's the point of all this? The point is to show you that those "clear" cultural and ethnic lines you're so eager to hold over a common White identity are not really that clear; that intra-European mixing like it occurred in the Americas produces European people and European things that are indistinguishable from those of the progenitors; and that this happens because there is a common thread to all of us. Germans, Italians and Frenchmen can go to an Iberian colony and within a couple of generations be completely assimilated. Same with Anglo colonies.
Arguing like an SJW
I'm not trying to commit the continuum fallacy here. We do draw lines, but the places where we do are somewhat arbitrary. So why draw them in the exact same way our enemies do? Why are you so eager to agree with an argument wielded by SJWs as a weapon against us when you have historical, cultural and genetic arguments not to do so?
Nothing to gain by arguing against White Identity
What can we possibly gain by arguing there's no common White anything? Keeping up some historical consistency for its own sake? Our (((enemies))) and their low-IQ bioweapons certainly don't care. Do you think a BLM blacktivist cares that your family came to the US from Ostfriesland after the Civil War and therefore didn't own and had no intention of owning slaves? No! You're an accomplice to systemic White racism and the exploitation of Blacks and minorities everywhere, and you owe him some gibs. So why the fuck are you insisting on further dividing White people when we are being attacked as a bloc? They are coming for all of us. Saying that Norway wasn't a colonial power and therefore committed no crimes won't save you. This is a war against Whites, not against 'Germans' and 'Britons' and 'Swedes'. It's against all of us at the same time.
We are the sons of postmodernism
Listen, your commitment to historical consistency is stupid and pointless. Yes, Whites killed and enslaved each other for centuries. Yes, there were rivalries and there wasn't a clear common identity. But we are all children of postmodernism, like it or not. We've had our history and identity erased and it has been with great effort that some of us are finally starting to regain our pasts. By erasing our past they erased all that historical bickering too. We are at a point where we can simply move past all the blood feuds and re-construct our European identities with what unites us as the base. Why go against that?
