Mr Patrick Lane
Mr Patrick Lane, 16, was born in 1895 in Pallaskenry (in Irish, Pailís Chaonraí), Co Limerick, Ireland, a village located 24 km from Limerick City.
He was the son of James Lane (b. 1865), a factory labourer, and his wife Margaret 1 (b. 1873), Limerick natives who had married around 1892. One of eight children from a Roman Catholic household, Patrick's known siblings were: Bridget (b. 1893), Michael (b. 1899), Mary Kate (b. 1891), Theresa (b. 1907) and James (b. 1910).
Patrick, or Paddy, as he was better known, appears with his family on the 1901 census living at house 24 in Pallaskenry. The family later moved to Limerick City and appear on the 1911 census living at 3 Clare Street. Patrick, aged 15, had already left school and was working as an assistant in a marine store.
Travelling to West 45th Street, Manhattan, Paddy boarded the Titanic at Queenstown, Co Cork as a third class passenger (ticket number 7935, which cost him £7, 15s), describing himself as an agricultural labourer aged 17.
Following the disaster fellow-Limerick City passenger Nellie O'Dwyer related to the Brooklyn Daily Times that she had been asked to look after Paddy during the crossing. During the evacuation Paddy reportedly dropped to his knees in prayer on deck before circulating among the crowd asking for a priest. She never saw him again.
Patrick Lane died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.
His estate, worth a meagre £20, was administered to his father James on 11 April 1913.

debadging question
okay just want to get some clarification... i want to take the jeep off my hood ... use a blow dryer and a piece of fishing wire? than clean up with goo-b-gone or some other glue remover?
Re: debadging question
yes, but you will most likely have the outline of the letters on there so you will need some compound to remove it
Re: debadging question
and its a good idea to put a couple coats of wax on after.

If you find yourself undermined by a colleague, resist your first impulse, urges Harvard Business Review author Dorie Clark.
"Address the person and speak to them directly," she tells HBR IdeaCast. "There is a common tendency to just assume they have malicious intentions, get angry about it and say, 'I'm going to talk to the boss.' Those are usually the worst starting places."
Assuming intent is dangerous, Clark adds, and could easily backfire.
"They could be oblivious and not intending to do you harm," she says. "They could be thinking in some misguided way that they're helping you. Make sure it's not just a big understanding. Because if it were a misunderstanding and you're the one that escalated it, then they are - quite rightly - going to hold it against you."
Fellow HBR author Karen Dillon agrees, saying one-on-one is the best setting starting point.
"Start trying to solve the problem yourself. Bullies, they want to be confronted they want to have the advantage by getting you off-guard in front of other people. And often they're cowards themselves," she notes. "So having the courage to confront them privately in a respectful, professional manner may often nip the problem in the bud."
And that, Dillon says, is your objective: "Your goal as an employee is not to have to escalate something to your boss. You want your boss to see you as a problem solver, a person who can navigate complex relationships and still get your work done."
Yet if you try the private approach and it fails to solve the problem, Dillion says you can then kick it upstairs or try in public.
Clark notes there is one exception to settling an argument in private. "If there is a factual dispute, that's something you should address promptly and right there," she notes. "If somebody's in a meeting and they say, 'You promised me the report last Tuesday and you never sent it', you don't want to let that go unchallenged because that will then stand as the truth."
Clark and Dillon acknowledge the complexity of office politics, but say it exists in every workplace and is a fact of office life you cannot – and should not – ignore.
"Playing office politics is bad," Dillon notes. "Thinking about office politics and having a strategy for navigating it, that's important and it's actually a part of your career advancement."
"Really, what we're talking about is relating to other people," Clark adds. "Being cognizant of how you're viewed, being aware of the dynamics and relationships of the people around you. That's never a bad thing."

Boxscore | Highlights
Site: Kalamazoo, Mich. (Lawson Arena)
Score: #9 Western Michigan 5, Michigan 1
Records: U-M (8-16-2, 5-13-2-2 CCHA), WMU (16-6-4, 12-4-2-1)
Attendance: 4,287
Next U-M Event: Friday, Feb. 1 -- vs. Michigan State (Yost Ice Arena), 6:35 p.m.
KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- For the second night in a row, the University of Michigan ice hockey team was done in by a strong second period by the Western Michigan Broncos (No. 9 USA Today, No. 9 USCHO), who scored three goals in the middle frame while outshooting U-M, 14-3, in a 5-1 final on Saturday (Jan. 26) inside Lawson Arena. With the win, WMU earned its first sweep of U-M since 1986.
Just 34 seconds into the game, Alex Guptill (Newmarket, Ontario) and Jacob Trouba (Rochester, Mich.) found themselves battling Nolan LaPorte and Luke Witkowski. All four players went off for two minutes.
Goalie Adam Janecyk (Ada, Mich.) made a big save early, stopping Colton Hargrove on a breakaway before denying Justin Kovacs, each within the first five minutes of the contest.
Zach Hyman (Toronto, Ontario) had the Wolverines first scoring opportunity at 7:07 with a high, hard blast, but it was turned aside by WMU's Frank Slubowski. Andrew Copp (Ann Arbor, Mich.) then put U-M on the scoresheet at 15:34, burying a shot from the left point on a power play.
The middle period was the decider for the Wolverines, who took a trio of penalties. Goals by Shane Berschbach and Kenney Morrison, the second on the power play, then an even-strength marker from Hargrove, gave WMU a 3-1 lead after two periods.
A defensive end turnover was turned into in a goal 2:13 into the final frame, as Josh Pitt placed a wrist shot over Janecyk's blocker to put the Broncos up 4-1. Only 1:40 later, Hargrove added his second goal of the night and third of the weekend, taking a pass from behind the net and scoring to make it 5-1.
U-M returns to the ice next for a series with Michigan State. Game one is Friday (Feb. 1) at 6:35 p.m. at Yost Ice Arena [ Tickets ]. The two teams meet again on Saturday (Feb. 2) at 4:05 p.m. at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
The weekend sweep of U-M by WMU was the first time the Broncos pulled two weekend wins going to back to Feb. 21-22, 1986. The 1986 series was of the home-and-home variety.
Tonight's 4,287 attendance figure at Lawson arena was the biggest of the season.
Andrew Copp's power-play goal was his first career goal against WMU.
Adam Janecyk stopped 36 of 37 shots from WMU's second goal last night until its first marker tonight.
Michigan Head Coach Red Berenson
On tonight's game ... "This is a really disappointing weekend for our team. We expected more, and we showed glimpses of it, but there wasn't enough of a push, there wasn't enough defense, there wasn't enough of anything to make it work. Last night, we had excuses, we had a good start, and then we got behind in the game in the second period, and we couldn't answer the bell in the third period. Tonight, the second period was what did us in. We needed the first goal in the third period, and we never even had a scoring chance for I don't know how many minutes."
On how the team can rebound ... "Our good teams have always been led by our seniors and juniors, and then our freshmen came in and filled the holes and helped. But, the pressure is on the leaders here, the upperclassmen here. You can always say you are as good as the senior class. If your senior class is not strong, then you are not going to have a strong team."
U-M Freshman Forward Andrew Copp
On not being able to build off quick starts ... "I think we just got away from our game plan. We had a game plan coming in about getting to their D a lot; they have a lot of guys playing a bunch of minutes back there. I think we just got away from that, especially in our forecheck, and we didn't do a good enough job of hitting their guys in their zone."
On what is going well currently ... "Yesterday's game I thought we played pretty well. There was a lot of effort going around. Pucks just didn't go our way towards the end, and we had a lot of chances yesterday, but we couldn't get it done. Tonight, we came in after the first period up, 1-0. After that it kind of unbuckled, but our starts have been better lately."

: Natural Hair is becoming extremely Popular: Do you agree?
So I go to Buffalo State College in Buffalo, Ny and Buffalo is not really trendy at all and they don't really pick up on things as quick, so when I first came to Buffalo natural the Targets here did not sell any natural hair products so then this week I went I they dedicated a whole section to natural hair, I was shocked and happy, Then I went to Sally's and As I am is sold there now, and they also had a natural section, and as you know or may not know dr.miracle's and Organic Root Stimulator made a product line soley dedicated to natural hair, So i'm thinking like wow natural hair is really getting popular and everyone is really jumping on the "bandwagon"

What are the mechanical differences between the standard suspension and the sport suspension? What are the differences between the sport and the M Sport suspensions?
What and how will the M Adaptive suspension change the suspension settings with the sport suspension and the M Sport suspension, respectively?
Even BMW has indicated the N20, even with all their design efforts, is not able to match the inherent smoothness of the inline six. To the hardcore inline six and BMW enthusiast how will the N20 feel in comparison to an inline six?

The N20 isn't nearly as smooth as the N55. I immediately said it had a diesel-like idle... no fooling me. It will never feel or sound like an inline-six. On the other hand, it pulls really well once boost builds up (no worries there). Many of my friends (ahem, well-known magazine journalists) who drove on the track today prefer the 328i over the 335i due to its balance. I'll make my own determination.

September 6, Chicago - NFA barred two former associated persons of American Financial Trading Corp. for engaging in misleading sales solicitations. Frank A. DeSantis and Leonard C.

DeSantis was barred from NFA membership, Associate membership and from acting as a principal of an NFA Member for a period of two years. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $40,000. Warren was barred from NFA membership, Associate membership and from acting as a principal of an NFA Member for a period of six months.

As a strong, independent woman and 8 year veteran of the Army Reserves who served a tour in Iraq, Kate Hoit took on a new frontier of estrogen evangelism: attempting to join the VFW. When she asked for an application at her local VFW chapter, they offered her a (gasp!) military spouse application. She was outraged. Couldn't they see how tough she was, and how she had shaken the establishment paradigm by
grifting serving her country in a time of war? These out-of-touch sexist patriarchal old white men clearly need to check their privilege.
But the outrage is, as always, wholly fabricated. In her own words as reported by the Washington Times, ""I'm not going to go the VFW or the [American] Legion and drink and smoke cigarettes," she said. "I want to be out in my community." So which is it, Kate? Are these big, bad Vietnam vets keeping women down by assuming that a female might be a military spouse when you gave them no reason to believe otherwise, or did you never want to join their club in the first place? The answer is both – her only goal here was to stomp her feet and throw a temper tantrum.
Her shit fit did its job and drew attention, and the article brings up some good things happening for young veterans today in the way of veteran organizations like Team Rubicon with a focus on community service and disaster relief. With veterans committing suicide at terrible rates, it's good to have programs and institutions that can bring them back to society in a productive way, but throwing long standing veteran service organizations (VSOs) under the bus in the name of social justice is at best misguided and at worst an expensive price to pay for a cheap attention grabbing social media headline.
Traditional VSOs like the VFW, Legion, and Disabled Veterans of America do a lot to lobby for soldiers and veterans, and while Team Rubicon is growing in numbers and social capital, it doesn't have the political influence of the established organizations. That political influence, while problematic bureaucratically and with rent-seeking behavior, has shed a lot of light on problems faced by service members such as PTSD, veteran homelessness, marriage issues, etc. that continue to plague the military and veteran populations. VSOs are the most outspoken in reforming and improving VA care. Women veterans like Hoit would destroy the value of these groups for no reason other than to get their faces on the internet.

Unemployment up .3 percent; change said "significant''
The Vermont Labor Department says the slowing national and regional economies helped drive up the state's unemployment rate by three tenths of one percent in January.
The Department of Labor called the change "statistically significant.''
The January unemployment rate of 4.2 percent was up from 3.9 percent in December and up from 4 percent in January 2007.
Unemployment in Vermont's 17 labor market areas ranged from 3 percent in Hartford to nearly 9 percent in Newport.
The department says that changes in population estimates show there was little job growth in Vermont in 2007, especially in the last half of the year. The unemployment rates remained low, but it was driven by a declining labor force rather than employment growth.

Canadas largest cellco by subscribers, Rogers, announced yesterday that it has extended its Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to cover an additional 18 cities and regions. The companys 4G infrastructure now covers almost 60% of Canadas population, and additional rollout later this year and into 2013 will lift coverage above 60%. Since becoming the first Canadian operator to launch LTE in July 2011, Rogers says it has seen an 80% increase in data usage, and that it expects this to grow six-fold by the end of 2016.

This was the first tea I really day-dreamed about tasting. The reason for this? Well, the gloriously golden mulberries with lovely coconut shavings of course! It all looked so yummy on DAVIDs website.
Dry: Again.. beautiful golden mulberries with lovely coconut shavings and delicate white tea leaves. It smells like a liqueur of some kind..something sophisticated and lovely whatever it is. It really does smell delightful.
Liquor: 1st steep- A light honey/sunshine color. Smells like coconut vanilla pudding and tastes close to that as well, though it is weaker then I would like. Pleasing and has an addictive taste. 2nd steep- Deeper honey sunshine with intense smells! Very creamy vanilla golden cake of sorts. Delicious. When hot, I find the flavours are much more intense then the first cup, but still muted.. but I accidentally left my cup alone for too long and it became luke warm. HOLY! It's amazing. It tastes thicker. Much more complex and sweeter. Like sweet milky honey with a touch of vanilla and the faintest hint of tang on the tongue. It tastes so great.
I bought my first 50g to try out about a month ago and I have already run out and re-ordered! This is a very tasty tea!
PS: 1st steep: 10 minutes, 94'C, 2nd steep: 14 minutes, 97'C. I have gotten a third steep before, but it started to lack flavour and I just really wanted to eat the mulberries because they are so delicious.

The NHL's Olympic break goes into effect Sunday and runs through 2 p.m. on Feb. 19 and while the majority of the Capitals will either be competing in Sochi or relaxing on a beach somewhere, some are eligible to play in the American Hockey League during the hiatus.
There are a whole host of rules that determine which waiver-exempt players can play in the AHL during the break and who is entitled to time off based on the number of NHL games they've appeared in or days they've spent on the NHL roster this season.
The Capitals have five waiver-exempt players on the roster – Dmitry Orlov, Connor Carrick, Casey Wellman, Julien Brouillette and Patrick Wey. Of that group only Wellman, Brouillette and Wey are eligible to play in Hershey during the break.
Both Orlov and Carrick have appeared in at least 16 of the Capitals' final 20 games before the break – Carrick hit the mark when he appeared in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Jets — which means they have earned the time off according to the rules agreed to by the NHL and NHL Players' Association. They will also both receive their NHL salary during the break.
>> There is an NHL trade freeze during the Olympic break that runs from 3 p.m. on Friday through 11:59 on Feb. 23, which is the day of the gold medal game in Sochi.
>> Players aren't permitted to use team facilities during the Olympic break, which creates a bit of a conundrum for those who are working their way back from injury.
Jack Hillen, who has been sidelined since the second game of the season with a fractured tibial plateau, said he plans to spend the break in his home state of Minnesota where he already has ice set up so he can continue making progress toward a return. He's skated consistently these last few weeks and taken part in all of the team's practices leading up to the break.
"I'm going to make sure my body stays ready. I've done a lot of really good work in the last three weeks to get where I'm at now and I don't want to lose that," Hillen said Friday. "I actually think the break is awesome because in the regular season I would never have the opportunity to practice for a week with the team where you're going to probably do some battle drills and do some high intensity training with the team. That's going to help me determine if I'm ready or not."

2 Streetbeasts lawsuits dropped! Just 1 left
This past month, another frivolous lawsuit filed against me by Streetbeasts or its owner, George Levin, has been dismissed. As many of you already know, I was sued over an article in our wiki that reveals the connection between Streetbeasts, a kit car company, and Classic Motor Carriages, who pleaded guilty to Federal wire fraud charges for defrauding purchasers of kit cars. These are classic SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) suits -- meritless lawsuits that attack free speech by attempting to silence people by burdening them with legal costs.
Out of 3 total lawsuits that Streetbeasts and its owner had initially filed against me, 2 have now been dismissed (1 in Florida, and 1 in Colorado). 1 Florida lawsuit remains. Despite the threat of takedown, our wiki article remains online.
Interestingly, the owner of Streetbeasts, George Levin, has recently been in the press quite a bit, in association with a $1.2 billion dollar Florida Ponzi scheme perpetrated by Scott Rothstein, who is being called the "Mini-Madoff". Press reports indicate that George Levin, through various investment companies, allegedly lured people into investing hundreds of millions of dollars into the fraudulent Ponzi scheme. After being named as a defendant in a lawsuit that alleges he was a co-conspirator of Rothstein, Mr. Levin has agreed to surrender the bulk of his assets under a bankruptcy settlement. For more details, see this article from Law.com: Hedge Fund Owner in Rothstein Case Agrees to Surrender Bulk of Assets, or this article from the Wall Street Journal: Rothstein Feeder Fund Agrees to Surrender Assets. We don't know what this will mean for Streetbeasts, or, more importantly, for those who have purchased kit cars from them.
It's been a long fight, but -- we're winning. And not only are we winning, but some very interesting things are coming to light about Streetbeasts and its owner. I wanted to thank everyone who has donated to the lawsuit fund; you can identify all donors on our donor thank-you page, or by the "Streetbeasts lawsuit donor" text accompanying their username. It's one thing to say that you "support" free speech, and it's another to, quite literally, put your money where your mouth is.
If you want to donate to the fund, the best way to do it is to click here to make a donation via PayPal. Thanks again everyone -- takedowns happen all the time online, but, so far, they haven't happened here, and it's largely due to the support we've had from numerous forum members and businesses in the industry.
Congratulations and good job, Jon! One more to go...
It is nice when some PIECE OF CHEAT* like him gets what he deserves!
*Comments made by Brian Martin are his personal opinions and not supported or endorced by Jon, Hotrodders.com or any of it's associates.
Looking good. Nice to see the bad guys lose one. Hurts my heart to see a pre-war Willys involved in a seedy thing like this but they will overcome. Can you apply for some of his bankruptcy funds to pay your court costs?
Great news Jon :thumbup:
Great going Jon . Now that I know what it is about I just made a donation . Allan
I just contributed last night.
The Free Speech banner is what attracted me to this forum!
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
I know the above is an American ideal, but only a US law, however; if Hotrodders supports it as it is written, at least the underlined part, I will be a more staunch supporter in the future than I have been in the past.
The moderation of Free speech is analogous to "political correctness",<<an atheistic concept,<> which is destroying the Greatest Nation on the earth.
It can slip in anywhere.... Will someone clarify?
Sincere congratulations Jon
This is great news, Jon. And my hat is off to you for your willingness to stand up to wealthy and powerful forces whose goal was to choke off the free exchange of information and opinion within our hot rodding community...both on the wiki and here on HR.Com.
My hat is also off to all of you who have contributed to help defer the hefty legal expenses required to take on a guy like George Levin. Lawyers don't come cheap...on either side of an issue. And I know for a fact that Jon's legal bills have been far and above what has been raised up to this point here on the site. He has gone to bat for us, to protect OUR rights to have a free and unfettered conversation about Streetbeast...and all other things rod related. And in my opinion, we need to continue going to bat for Jon, with our support and our wallets.
Let's fight this thing right down to the end...until we have seen the last of George Levin and his kind.
Great to hear Jon. :thumbup:
Keep up the good fight.
Great news Jon !!!!! :thumbup: And thanks for not giving up on us here at Hotrodders.com.. :thumbup:

I'm still uncertain as to how a scam artist who's company he ran into the ground is capable of suing you?
Hopefully the surrender included Streetbeasts so that a reputable party can buy them up and open up shop using all of the former employees. They are good people with a good product who were ran out by that *(*#(# George Levin.
Congratulations Jon, you went to bat for owners of a bad product only informing them and lawyers stepped in to stifle the users and possible future purchaser's of the product which is obviously flawed and the business side more or less not par for the consumer of the product.
I would surely rather know now, than find out later if I was to take on a project like building a scratch car from a company without the skills needed to "repair" such said product.
My offer still stands as to help this fund in a large way, Jon I think you know the details and plese feel free to give it the go ahead and it's done with the calendars for HR.com
Thanks guys -- and thanks new donors 58Apache and adantessr :). I don't know if we'll be able to recoup legal fees from any potential George Levin bankruptcy. By my understanding, the bankruptcy agreement on the table is being protested. More details are at this article: Chorus of Bankruptcy Lawyers, Investors Protest Rothstein Agreements. Here's an interesting quote:

Camcorder manufacturers are continually hunting for new ways to entice you to shoot video. Most are currently trying to ride on the back of Internet sharing, but Panasonic took a different tack last year with its SDR-SW20. Drawing on its Toughbook expertise, this hardened pocket camcorder offered real waterproofing and drop survival.
The SW20 gained quite a lot of positive attention, so now Panasonic has released an updated version. Called the SDR-SW21, it has been improved in key areas. In particular, where the SW20 had all the looks of an engineering sample, the SW21 is far less industrial, and comes in a brighter selection of colours. Luminescent orange and yellow versions are available, plus a more sober silver, and all are metallic.
Inside, the SW21 is not significantly different from the SW20, or the SDR-S7 it was originally based on. It still uses a 1/6in CCD sensor with 800-kilopixels, and shoots standard definition video. So our request for a HD version when we reviewed the SW20 remains unanswered. The resolution is always 704 x 576, rather than the usual 720 x 576 of European Standard Definition video, but three data rates are available, ranging from 2.5Mbits/sec to 10Mbits/sec. Footage is recorded to SD or SDHC memory. No media is included in the box, but a 2GB card will be enough for around 25 minutes of footage at the top data rate.
Aside from the improved aesthetics of the SW21, Panasonic has also beefed up the mechanism for securing the watertight doors over the various ports. Instead of just a locking switch, a screw catch now keeps these firmly shut, further reducing any chance of accidental opening. But most importantly, the firmer mechanism also allows Panasonic to increase the waterproof depth to 2m, where the previous model just went to 1.5m. This is particularly welcome when you consider a lot of swimming pools are 2m at the deep end, so the SW21 will be perfectly safe in these environments.
However, the upgraded chassis design hasn't improved the ability to withstand knocks. The SW21 is still only rated for falls of 1.2m or less, which allegedly conforms to the MIL-STD-810F METHOD 516.5 SHOCK military standard.
Dropping the SW20 in deep water was allegedly a more significant problem. Not only could this mean the camcorder disappeared for good, if you did manage to find it and it had fallen well below 1.5m, its seals might have breached and damage been caused. The new model's bright colour options will help you find it if you happen to lose your grip. But it also comes with its own matching floatation device, which attaches to the wrist strap. Let go of the camcorder underwater, and this will buoy the SW21 up to the surface, out of harm's way.
Why is there no word about Sanyo VPC-WH1 waterproof dual camera? It seems to me it is absolutely superior to SDR-SW21. It shoots HD video, is waterproof up to 3 m and has a battery that lasts for 3 hours.
James hasn't reviewed or even seen the Sanyo model yet so he can't judge other models against it. At best the only thing he could say about it is that exists, which is of little use to anyone. Rest assured we'll try and get hold of the VPC-WH1 as soon as possible.
Also, the Sanyo is about 㿲 (20 per cent) more expensive and looks quite big and chunky so it's not necessarily an out and out winner.
@Mervin What he said, basically. I can't compare a model I have tested to one I haven't seen at all. From Sanyo's previous efforts, bar the most recent VPC-HD2000 (http://www.trustedreviews.c..., the new underwater model may not be all that competitive. But I will definitely reserve judgement, since Sanyo's camcorders have been improving all the time.
Ok... the video recording quality is great and the underwater part is pretty cool but when it says that it is shockproof from up to 4 feet, don't believe that bullshit. I dropped it today from less than 3 feet and the whole screen is black and it can't be fixed so now I have to send it back in for a new one.

Each individual wisdom tooth is unique and depending on how it grows, it can have different impact on bones and/or tissues. Their varied developments such as impaction, horizontal or slant placement may effect other teeth and cause troubles. They have to extracted out and is a highly skillful job being performed by our Maxillofacial surgeon.
The following 4 impactions are commonly found in patients cases.
If the impaction is between the third molar and part of the second molar, this kind is called bone impaction. It can subcategorized into vertical, horizontal, and angular depending on the way they are intersecting.
The last one is called tissue impaction, because the wisdom tooth is directly breaking out of the tissue.
Only under the X-Ray can these impactions be clearly identified.
The following shows how to remove the impacted wisdom tooth (bone impaction).
This procedure is only needed when your wisdom teeth start to bother you, or upon your dentist recommendation.

sewing mach.
for dan what do you think of this machineindustrial unionmd#union special52900
While they do make regular lockstitch sewing machines, Union Special (who were bought out by Juki) specializes in chain stitch machines. These can be as simple as a single needle machine that can sew two pieces of fabric together, this machine is a multi needle chain stitch machine that does decorative stitches. If I'm reading the specs correctly, this machine would act more like a serger. It would be more suited to one dedicated operation in a clothing or drapery factory. It would not be used to sew car interiors.

Until now, we saw three versions of the unannounced Samsung SM-G900: SM-G900A (possibly made for AT&T), SM-G900F, and SM-G900S. Now a fourth version, SM-G900H, appeared in Indonesia, where it's been certified by Postel, one of the country's telecommunications authorities.
According to Postel, it received three SM-G900H units, each manufactured in a different country: South Korea, Vietnam and China. Unfortunately, other details about the handset aren't provided.
It's been assumed that the GM-900 is the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 flagship, and the existence of multiple versions of it certainly doesn't contradict that. Sure enough, this might be another new Samsung handset. Besides the S5, the South Korean company seemingly readies multiple devices with screens measuring from 5 to 6 inches, so the GM-900 could be one of those.
We're hearing that Samsung may announce the Galaxy S5 either in February, or in March. We'll see then if all these SM-G900 models are related to it or not.

Despite a bruising result in the latest radio survey in which the once dominant 2Day FM slumped to seventh place in the Sydney market, the station intends to stick with its six-month-old breakfast show.
While 2GB staff helped Alan Jones celebrate his 100th breakfast win at a Sydney restaurant yesterday, 2Day managers met to discuss a programming crisis in the same timeslot.
Nearly 100,000 listeners have turned off 2Day since comedians Judith Lucy, Peter Helliar and Kaz Cooke took over from Wendy Harmer and The Morning Crew at the start of the year.
They fell 1.9 percentage points in yesterday's Nielsen audience survey to rate 5.6 per cent, well behind Nova's Merrick and Rosso, who lead the FM breakfast competition with an 11 per cent share.
While Austereo boss Michael Anderson said talk of scrapping the show was premature "the result is certainly confronting". The breakfast show had yet to connect to Sydney life and all efforts would focus on changing that.
At 2GB, on the other hand, there was much to celebrate. Jones scored his breakfast century with a 15.5 per cent audience share, his highest figure in 12 months. Ray Hadley mopped up in the morning shift with a 13.3 per cent share, his personal best in the slot.
The AM talk station won the survey overall with a 12.7 per cent share, ahead of Nova which dropped slightly to 10.4 per cent.
John Laws of 2UE demonstrated he is not yet out of the race in recovering 27,000 listeners to rate a respectable 9 per cent. This helped lift 2UE's overall share by one percentage point to 7.5.
Austereo had the consolation of seeing 2Day's sister station, Triple M, emerge from the doldrums to tie for fourth place with WS FM on 8 per cent.
2GB and Nova dominate the market, but a few percentage points below them 702 ABC, Triple M, WS FM, MIX, 2Day and 2UE are separated by less than a point.

The Dolphinarium in Constanţa began its activity on June 1, 1972, being the first museum form of this kind in our country and the first one in the S-E of Europe at that time. The exhibition presents the world of the shell fish living in diverse seas. The shows are organized in the amphitheatre with a pool, with dolphins from the Phocaena relicta species and Delphinus delphis ponticus species, with seals from the South Atlantic.
Aquarium - Constanţa, the first section of the Natural Sciences Museum Complex, located on the seafront promenade Casino, in its immediate vicinity, is the first public aquarium in Romania and was inaugurated on the May 1, 1958.
The building that houses it was build at the beginning of the XX century, needed complete rearrangement, because it had a different destination before 1950.
The Aquarium in Constanta remained the biggest institution of its kind in the country, even after other natural science museums have established departments with the same profile.
Starting with the year 1982, within The Natural Sciences Museum Complex in Constanţa, the Exotic and landscape birds Exhibition placed by the Micro-Delta, entered into a touristic circuit.
On a 100 sqm covered surface, in large bird houses, with adequate compartments for food, nesting, flying and rest, one can admire the representatives of different bird species from Asia, Africa, Australia, New Guinea and South America. Among the terrestrial invertebrates birds represent the many species group, summing up ¾ from their total.
Within the The Natural Sciences Museum Complex in Constanţa, starting with the year 1985 a Micro-reservation entered the public circuit, spreading on a 6 ha surface out of which 2 ha represent luster water with a swamp vegetation. This objective was created with a view to offer the visitors a more complex image on the Dobrogea's nature.
The patrimony of this objective has the aquatic avifauna (pelicans, swans, ducks and wild geese), the terrestrial avifauna (peacocks, pheasants) and mammals (mouflons, fallow deer, harts), that can be found in the Danube Delta's Biosphere Reservation and the Negureni Reservation. Most part of these exemplars are natural monuments and rare species with a scarce representation in the natural biotopes.
Like a window permanently open to the sky, the Planetarium in Constanţa resembles a "beacon" on the Black Sea coast. The first public objective of this type in the country was set up in the year when man could "touch" the moon by the foot for the first time (1969), the Planetarium reveal today the sky-mysteries so hard to see. A world beyond us, made up of stars, planets, galaxies and other things are disclosed to you, but you are assisted to learn how to travel among them using the constellations, the "Sky" that needed no renovation in the last 2000 years contributing to the realization of this picture.

What's New, Pussycat?
There will be no live chat this week. We'll see you back in the chat room next Friday!
There's a new year and already a score of new albums about which I'm so darn excited. We came into 2012 hot on the heels of Ben Frost's and Daníel Bjarnason's Tarkovsky-inspired Solaris and have already plunged headfirst into a deluge of Philip Glass recordings to celebrate the composer's 75th birthday. Muscovite musicmaker Vladimir Martynov is getting some much-deserved attention thanks to the Kronos Quartet, a new concerto for piano and birdsong offers a 21st Century Messiaen update, and much, much more.
So in lieu of focusing on a current musical event this week, we're looking at current releases. We'll hear some selections from Solaris and a highlight of our latest Album of the Week, plus some other surprises along the way. In the meantime, tell us: What are you listening to right now?

'Gruel' worm poses as Microsoft patch and Symantec tool
An e-mail worm called "Gruel", is beginning to spread on the internet and over the Kazaa peer-to-peer network, according to...
This Article Covers
Risk management
Gruel is a mass-mailer that masquerades as a Windows software patch from Microsoft and as a virus removal tool from Symantec.
Like other mass-mailing worms, Gruel spreads by stealing e-mail addresses from an infected computer's Microsoft Outlook address book and mailing copies of itself to those addresses.
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.

You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The worm deletes files from machines it infects and copies itself into various locations, including folders used by Kazaa network, enabling it to spread further.
TruSecure received word of five infections and fielded around 20 calls from users who have received e-mail messages containing the virus, according to Bruce Hughes, content security lab manager at TruSecure.
While the number of infections is still low, Gruel has a number of characteristics that have allowed other worms to successfully spread in recent months.
In addition to its clever use of so-called "social engineering" tricks such as using the names of Microsoft and Symantec to fool recipients, the coupling of mass-mailing techniques and features to spread over peer-to-peer networks makes Gruel dangerous, Hughes said.
Unlike other worms, however, Gruel does not spread over shared folders on local area networks.
While most organisations have antivirus software that will block or quarantine the executable attachment containing the Gruel virus, home users without such protections are likely to bear the brunt of the new worm.
Infected home systems could soon start bombarding corporate mail gateways with infected messages, Hughes warned.

From NRA-ILA - my emphasis in the quote.
Bottom line as I see it, whether guns come in from down here or anywhere else - the ''trade'' is criminal driven - and so darned good reason not to try and harass and punish the legal gun owners. Seems they may just be ''getting it''.
http://www.canada.com/montreal/montr...7-6ce21d025122Guns in Canada not an American problem
The Gazette
Monday, October 31, 2005
After squandering $2 billion on the pointless and useless gun registry, our federal government has now discovered legal guns aren't the main problem after all. Prime Minister Paul Martin, struck by lightning on the road to the next election, discovered last Monday, while the U.S. Secretary of State was on her way to Canada, the real problem is guns smuggled illegally into Canada from the United States.
Justice Minister Irwin Cotler promptly came up with a half-cocked scheme to have the provinces empower Canadians to sue U.S. gun manufacturers whose legal products are used illegally in Canada.
It's quite a doctrine, that. The U.S. Congress, as it happens, has just passed a law shielding gun makers and dealers from liability in many negligence lawsuits; it's a bad law in some ways, but so would be any Canadian law saying the maker of a legal product is responsible for the way it's used. Please do not roll up this newspaper and beat anyone to death, no matter how infuriating you find the editorials: we wouldn't much like to be sued, and that surely wouldn't be far down the road. (As for citizens suing the government in Ottawa for bad decisions, on the gun registry, say, where do we sign up?)
But never mind the lawsuits; let's look at the broader issue. It's no coincidence Martin's new position comes just as a poll identifies fear of random gun violence as the biggest public fear in the Liberal caucus's heartland, Toronto. Ontario Public Safety Minister Monte Kwinter went so far as to say Toronto is under a "blanket of fear."
Police and prosecutors there have just stepped up their anti-gun and anti-gang efforts and will add resources by borrowing additional prosecutors. That makes sense: Toronto's gun violence is mainly gang violence. Mercifully, this problem of shooting sprees has not reached Montreal to the same degree as in Toronto, in part no doubt because police here have had some success against gang culture.
As for guns, it turns out some of the blame for the northward movement of handguns to Toronto, and to some places in Western Canada, belongs in this country.
Canada's Customs Excise Union, which wants armed sentries at border points to protect its members, has dug up some interesting data. It shows between 1995 and 2003, as north-bound border traffic increased greatly, front-line staffing increased by only about 10 per cent, or 717 full-time-equivalents, while staffing at the Border Services Agency's head office more than doubled, adding 540 FTEs.
The Agency notes many of those positions are in intelligence work, created since Sept. 11, 2001, to make the border less porous in response to U.S. security concerns. In all, 11 officers are working full time on hand-gun-interdiction intelligence work. And another 250 front-line workers will be hired soon.
Fair enough. But clearly more needs to be done, and done by Canadians, about gang members' access to handguns.
Because our U.S. friends have such a gun-friendly culture, the problem is an intractable one. But blaming the Americans before we've done our best ourselves, while it may be good politics, is rarely sound policy.

bah aint even worth the effort to say what i think of there laws
Bud White and Rocky ... I think you've both missed the main idea here... the trade of illegal guns FROM the America...To Canada is dominated by and instigated by organized crime (ie THROUGH the US border and into Canada). What is not mentioned is what is exchanged from the north and travels south- drugs !
I think the main issue here is not the inefficient use of Canadian taxes or a policy that has failed miserably to decrease violent gun crime but the flow of guns that penetrate the Canadian border and the drugs that penetrate as easily into the US.
I thought the only legal guns in Canada when POP! as the cork on the string from the popgun left the barrel for all of 3 ft.

that Canadian guns were like the French guns...

actually i thought the only legal guns in canada were the nintendo gun....lmao
you know they make very good machine guns but they still dont know how to use them!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Canadians do though. Their military isn't half bad.
Actually some Canadian guns are OK. I've got two Para Ordnance 1911's that I really like, don't carry them, but thet are sweet shooting.

The second amendment is the reset button of our Constitution.
Geez, ya mean criminals are breaking the law. Imagine that. Too bad lawmakers and lib's cannot realize weapons in those who obey the law makes criminals jobs much more dangerous.
I imagine lots of stuff is smuggled in and out of our borders.

Nemo Me Impune Lacesset
If I'm reading the editorial correctly, I really find it interesting that this newspaper's editors get the fact that firearms are not the problem...criminals are. And this in a nation where the ownership of firearms in severely curtailed. Would that many of our editorial staffs would absorb the same lesson in this country!
"Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...."
Paul Martin is now our EX-Prime Minister and hopefully never show his useless face again. Now that he destroyed his party, his minions are fighting over the scraps and are a headless entity, which is a state of affairs that we hope continues.
Guns smuggled from the US and Eastern Europe is a major problem here, our organized crime groups ship pot south in exchange for coke and guns. The local PD says that 97% of the guns used in crime here are smuggled in. Back east, 2 guys caught were responsible for 300 guns alone. Customs report that they seized 1500 guns last year being smuggled in, and they only searched 3% of the cargo crossing the border.
Now for us legal gun owners the biggest problem is your guys whacko export laws, any gun part more than a $100 requires a crateload of paperwork and most suppliers and retailer have given up trying to fight their way through the red tape and won't sell to us. Limiting what we can buy and driving the price up, so much for NAFTA eh? So write your congressman and tell them that your export laws are costing the US gun dealers a large market!!
yeah that is true but they dont care....they want the gun dealers to die and go away. that is what we are tying to keep alive.

"I thought our kids really battled through some adversity and foul trouble tonight," MSU second-year head coach Vic Schaefer said. "To have five kids in double figures speaks a lot to our balance and skill set. I was impressed that our kids, in their youth and inexperience, didn't get rattled and hung in there all night."
Junior Savannah Carter added 12 points in her Maroon and White debut and fell one rebound shy of collecting a double-double. Sherise Williams added 11 points and nine bounds as well. Martha Alwal added 10 points and seven rebounds, despite fouling out in the early stages of the second half.
The Bulldogs finished with a plus-10 rebounding advantage and never trailed after erasing an early 3-2 lead by the hosts.
A bucket by Alwal put the Maroon and White in the lead for good and also sparked a 14-0 run. Richardson scored six of her eight first-half points during that run. The Bulldogs held the Cougars to one field goal over the first seven minutes-plus and led 16-3.
Houston answered with a 9-0 run only to see MSU push the lead back to double digits with six points of its own. Down 22-11, the Cougars turned up the defensive pressure and benefited from foul issues for the Bulldogs to close within 31-29 at the intermission.
Like they did in the opening half, the Bulldogs started the second stanza with a very strong push. MSU opened the half with a 14-3 run and ran the lead to 45-32 with 16:19 left.
Carter and Grant each added four points during the run, which was capped by the first collegiate points from Dominique Dillingham, a native of nearby Spring, Texas.
For MSU, Katia May set the tone from the point guard position. A senior from York, Ala., May had a career-high 11 assists with no turnovers.
"It starts with your point guard and 11 assists and no turnovers in 38 minutes is a heck of a night," Schaefer said. "I'm going to say she (May) is probably leading the country in assist-turnover ratio. That's something (assistant coach) Aqua (Franklin) has worked very hard with her on. Our post players had 27 of our 31 points at halftime and (associated head coach) Johnnie Harris had done a really good job working with them."
For the contest, the Bulldogs hit 28 of 75 shots from the field (37.3 percent), 1 of 7 shots from 3-point range (14.3 percent) and 19 of 30 shots from the foul line (63.3 percent). The Cougars hit 18 of 57 shots from the field (31.6 percent), 7 of 14 shots from 3-point range (50.0 percent) and 25 of 39 shots from the free throw line (64.1 percent).
MSU held a 54-44 rebounding advantage. The Bulldogs had 19 assists and 17 turnovers, while the Cougars had 12 assists and 22 turnovers.
Houston received 18 second-half points from Jessieka Parker, 12 points from Tyler Gilbert and 10 points from Marissa Ashton.
MSU will open the home portion of its schedule by playing host to Jackson State Wednesday night. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. at Humphrey Coliseum.

Open Grill Available?
Hello everyone. This is my first post on Focus Fanatics. I've tried searching, but did not come up with a definitive answer to this question:
Does any aftermarket source sell open "mesh" type grill inserts for the 3rd generation? I ask because I've ordered an Oxford White Focus ST and I'd like eventually to swap the "catfish" front end / bumper/grill with the standard Focus front end, and then add some more aggressive touches -- something like this:
However, it looks like the standard Focus grill is mostly closed, so simply swapping them could lead to air flow issues with the intercooler on the ST. So I'm really hoping there are aftermarket inserts that allow more air flow.
You could probably make it work, but it would require some modding to the standard grill to allow better airflow, be the guinea pig and find out for everybody else.
I didn't realize the standard grill also had active shutters. Where are they located on the Focus SE/SEL?
The very bottom of the two bumpers appear different, with the ST having a bigger opening and horizontal vanes to direct air to the IC.
I guess I'll have to figure this out once my ST arrives. Hopefully, I can find Focus bumper at a parts recycler to play around with this. I think the ST with the SE front would be a great combination.
For a turbo car with the intercooler front mounted that actually is a small opening... the Mazdaspeed 3 I had before my Focus had a MUCH bigger front grill and it had a top mounted IC from the factory.
I'm sure at some point there will be an aftermarket grill made with a bigger opening in the front, but as it sits now... if suss is correct and the openings really aren't different, you should have no issues swapping.
Although to be on the safe side... popping out the side grill pieces and using a dremel to open up some more holes would be a good idea, since they're there for show, making them functional could add that extra horizontal space the ST looks like it has.
If the openings are the same and it seems to mirror the standard grille for the upper opening, a large closed center section and then the open lower section where the grille shutter system would sit behind. Now if some one could demonstrate this by putting the images of the lower grille side by side (where you could see what was actually open it may prove this to be the case.
That said, there IS a larger opening at the very bottom of the grill, where they have a much wider air dam than the traditional Focus' small 4 holes.
However I'm sure that if you had really wanted to put the standard bumper cover and grille panels on the car instead of the ST specific pieces you will have to either open the triangular grilles or dremel holes in the lower air dam to mimic the ST.
The remainder of the air induction portions of the grilles are the same just styled to look differently.
The main bulk of the air currently is coming in through the lower grille, between the area blocked occasionally by the shutter system and the lower openings in the front bumper cover/ air dam.
Never really noticed but IMO the standard front end looks a bit more aggressive than the ST>

As a junior recruit at HMAS Leeuwin Graeme Pilley was raped twice.
18/06/2014 , 3:26 PM by Clugston Anne
The report on those who suffered sexual abuse at HMAS Leeuwin has told the story of 200 former recruits between 15 and 17 years old. Shortly after it's release - Geoff Hutchison spoke to Graeme Pilley, one of those recruits who was abused in 1968.
He was raped twice by two men on the same night - one after the other. He says he still can't sleep, he still suffers and he can't get it out of his mind. He told Geoff he was gritting his teeth and chain smoking just to talk on air. He describes himself as "a complete mess mentally" and has "never trusted a soul since then".
The Head of the Taskforce described the abuse of the recruits as horrific. Mr Len Roberts-Smith said "It is my hope that the lessons that can be learned from the stories of abuse at HMAS Leeuwin will contribute to and inform the ongoing efforts by Defence to prevent, stop and respond to abuse"
