Amazon is holding a press conference in Los Angeles today, and according to The Verge, it may be used to show off the company's first phone as well as new Kindle models.
The site claims that the Amazon phone has been "confirmed", citing "multiple sources" that back this up. It will use an interface based on that of the Kindle Fire, which runs a heavily modified version of Google's Android OS.
The Amazon phone may be unveiled later today, but apparently it is nowhere near release, currently in an unfinished state. To date, we in the UK have not been top of the Kindle family priority list. The first Kindle Fire never made it to the UK, and neither did the ad-funded Kindle models. We may get the same treatment with the Amazon phone.
However, now that the Amazon Appstore has launched in the UK, we are likely to get the next Kindle Fire Tablet. It'll reportedly come in two flavours - 7in and 10in - and feature an upgraded processor. On the other side of the Amazon roster, the new E-ink Kindle "Paperwhite" model is rumoured to feature a higher-resolution, higher-contrast screen than the Kindle Touch, and have a darker bezel.
We'll be back with all the latest Amazon Kindle news as it's unveiled.

Sam Wood
Only in the modern era could anyone make as bizarre a first class debut as that of Sam Wood. After three days of a 2011 championship match against Lancashire at Trent Bridge, Samit Patel was whisked away to join up with the full England squad.
Permitted to name a full replacement, Mick Newell opted to have a look at the young all-rounder and he was even thrown the ball for a brief, wicket-less, four-over spell.
The left-handed batsman and right-arm off-spinner had deserved a chance after showing his mettle as a late call-up on the tour of Abu Dhabi and Dubai last spring. With 28 needed from just two overs Sam teamed up with skipper Chris Read to launch a violent assault upon the MCC bowlers to steer Notts into the final of the Emirates Airlines Twenty20 competition.
Further first team experience came in the CB40 competition, where he made three appearances, picking up his first wickets in another match against Lancashire, taking the scalps of Paul Horton and Farveez Maharoof in consecutive deliveries.
2012 will see Sam bidding to help England's Under-19s do well in the World Cup in Australia, enabling him to build on a fine start to his international career at that level which has already seen him register a century in a Youth Test match.

'Avatar' vs. 'The Hurt Locker'
Will the Oscars get it right this time?
In the past, Oscar politics have always afforded a curiously unpredictable compromise between box office popularity, artistic status and behind-the-scenes favoritism. Last year the glitzy, over-hyped Slumdog Millionaire shut out superior, if downbeat, films such as Doubt and The Reader.
A conservative caution still hovers over the Academy. The controversial but quiet artistry of 2005's BrokebackMountain lost the Best Picture award to a piece of social drivel (Crash) despite its international acclaim and great box office. The same fate may fall to the unusual Hurt Locker at envelope time.
Both films share an aesthetic similarity. The tragic subtlety of Brokeback is not unlike the psychological changes driving the simple men in The Hurt Locker. They do not perceive the dynamic undercurrent that will alter their destinies, forces apparent only to the audience. Reprising the Rosebud symbolism in Citizen Kane, the most pregnant moment in The Hurt Locker takes place in a supermarket.
The qualities of the immensely popular Avatar are not so easily dismissed, however. Those expecting to see another advanced case of the sci-fi technotrash so dear to the hearts of the young were shocked to discover a movie described even by TheNew Yorker as a "beautiful work" with many lovely, lyric moments. Like The Wizard of Oz, it offered fantasy in a charming package. Even the obligatory action scenes were unexpectedly imaginative. Although James Cameron's Avatar is far more sophisticated than his previous blockbuster, Titanic, he may yet lose the Best Director trophy to Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow.
Of the other nominations, only Precious had much to offer. This savagely cruel study of the under-culture of poverty contains the best performance of the year, by nominee Mo'Nique. She made cruelty seem necessary, ordinary, yet poignant.
Also in the running is the cheesy Inglourious Basterds, another of Quentin Tarantino's contemptuously clever efforts to thumb his nose at the audience and make them love it. Yet his style remains deliciously lowbrow. Supporting Actor nominee Christoph Waltz tries, sometimes intermittently, to introduce a touch of class.
None of the major acting nominees set new marks, although a good guess would be that predictably warmhearted performances by Sandra Bullock and Jeff Bridges might melt the Academy's heart.
The Academy balks at too-easy predictions, thriving on the suspense they mistake for discretion. Avatar has too much going for it to lose, but alone among this year's contenders, The Hurt Locker is the work of art. n

By Kimberly Gadette (doddleNEWS)
Perhaps the Sundance gatekeepers were swayed by the fact that the film was shot in a somewhat hazy black and white. But with its slight story, seemingly more suited to a short film than a feature, untrained actors and lethargic direction, sitting through About the Pink Sky is about as riveting as sitting through bumper-to-bumper traffic pouring into Sundance during the film festival's opening weekend.
The movie opens with a quote from the protagonist as she looks back from the year 2035, reflecting on her younger days. (An unnecessary device, since the future is never brought to bear on the proceedings again.) Back to the present we go, to the schoolgirl Izumi (Ai Ikeda) who spies a wallet on the ground. She wrestles with her conscience immediately, even before she picks up. Should she or shouldn't she? When she realizes that the wallet is stuffed with 300,000 yen (almost $4,000 US), she knows she has to return it. She makes a half-hearted attempt, but once she discovers that the wallet belongs to Sato (Tsubasa Takayama), the son of a local corrupt official, she rationalizes the necessity of returning it right away. Instead, she lends some of the found lucre to a fisherman friend in need. Her two best friends later force her to return the wallet — but since Sato realizes that a hefty amount of yen has gone missing, he devises a unique way for Izumi to pay off the debt. Sato has a sick friend in the hospital, he tells her, and wants her to console the friend by creating a newspaper that contains only happy stories. Soon, power struggles ensue between Sato, Izumi and her two school pals over the day-to-day minutia of publishing the amateur good-news gazette.
First time feature director Keiichi Kobayashi leisurely strolls through a story that doesn't warrant the slow pace; in actuality, the film might have been improved with a hefty dose of the upbeat. We wait for action … lingering at front stoops, loitering at street corners, walking down hallways. Maybe something will happen. And then again, maybe not.
As for the actors, it's painfully obvious that they're untrained. Perhaps this explains Kobayashi's tendency to favor long shots, in which we see three or four characters in the frame, always a safe distance away from the camera's harsh eye … and often with their hair hiding a goodly portion of their faces. Even given this subterfuge, we can't help but notice the actors' discomfort as they're directed to perform stiff, inorganic moves that don't read as credible.
Other issues puzzle. Why is Izumi looking through current newspapers at a library to research facts in these modern times? Google is mentioned, as are video chats … is the Japanese internet experiencing some sort of power outage? As for casting, the fisherman is referred to as very old — yet the actor looks to be in his thirties at most. On the other side of the spectrum, a contemporary of the teenage Sato seems much closer in age to a younger brother.
About the Pink Sky is about a character's self-recrimination — yet it seems altogether disingenuous for the protagonist to assess her actions in such a dark light. She generously lends money to an acquaintance without insisting on an I.O.U., or even payback; later, she makes reparations to friends as soon as possible. Aside from the occasional sulk, and defensive reactions when her acquaintances treat her poorly (which they often do), this young girl is far from some black-hearted miscreant who requires a thorough moral realignment.
We shouldn't be too harsh on the girl … but as for the film? Well, that's a horse of a different color. And it's probably not pink.
Rating on a scale of 5 yen for yen: 1

Serves 8
Now this is a dessert-rich macadamia nuts suspended in a sweet, creamy pie filling and topped with fluffy whipped cream. Serve it with a good hot cup of Kona-blend coffee.
3 eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
2 cups macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
Whipped cream (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped macadamia nuts
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Beat the eggs with the sugar and corn syrup. Stir in the macadamia nuts. Add the butter and vanilla, and blend well.
Pour the mixture into the pie shell. Bake for 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the center is somewhat set. Test by shaking gently. Let cool, then chill.
Garnish with a swirl of whipped cream, if desired, and a sprinkling of chopped macadamia nuts.

That chart has been around for a long time and is in serious need of some corrections. The '67 to '69 Camaro, '64 to '67 Chevelle and '68 to '79 Nova rear ends are all exactly the same width at 60 inches. The chart has them all different. Also the '68 to '72 Chevelle and '70 to '81 Camaro rear ends are 61 inches wide, not 62 1/2 like the chart says.
I haven't found a chart for the width of the stock axle to know what I need. I see chassis engineering has conversion plates to moves springs out for wider perches. I'd like to keep the axle as narrow as possible to have more wheel offset to the outside (dish).
I thought the chart for Chevelle's was wrong, as I have a '66 and a '70. They both have '70 axles in them and I have to be careful with dished wheels on the '66 because of the increased width.

HI ALL just joined this site,
I am into woodworking and am now building a woodworking workshop. Info I need now would include how to wire a blower that I got out of an old mobile home. It is a Coleman 6806A590, it has 3 wires, a white, red and blue, on the unit it says the white is common of course, the red it LO, and the blue is HI. I assume I would apply power to the red for low speed and to the blue for hight speed, or to both the blue and red for high speed. Now what voltages do I use at each wire? What I want to do is draw air in through filters at on end of the shop and blow it through a duct to the other side of the shop, to clean the dust out of the air. Where woud I go the get this info?
Thanks for any help anyone can give, Steve
Hi Steve, nice to meet ya here!!!!

diff bushings
my car just started making the clunks and im looking for a place in norcal to have the diff bushings done for a good price. can anyone suggest a good indy shop or fanatic who is familiar with this? the closer to san francisco the better.
and what is a decent price on getting these changed anyway?
are you close to pleasanton?
performance technic is a very good shop give them a call tell them brandon sent you
DUDE.....listen carefully
Really bro.....do a lil...and I mean a lil search. You will see that in corolation to geagraphical location, Coleim from this forum is the best you will get....PERIOD, and I will put my dollars on that. All your questions (be it noob, or advanced) will be addressed, and explained. The Thud is not normal. If u got a new car today, that sound would never be considered (Normal). HERE is the difference....normal-no, tolerable for a while a while without breakin ****-yes, how long for.....dont chance it. After a while, you WILL have drivetrain issues, tranny issue, or a plethra of other problems. IF YOU HAVE THER THUD CHANGE YOUR DIFF BUSHINGS. If u need to ask what bushing...get them all, if you dont, then get the 1 you already know you need, and stop tryin to convince yourself it will fix its self, or its something else.
also, to my understanding, there are special tools that are required for the diff bushings and im looking for an indy shop and/or forum member who has access to these tools and can therefore do the job with ease

Bornstein & Song has been researching the FSSI since its inception as it was applied to the GSA Pilot FSSI Program for Schedule 75 Office Supplies (OS2). The research concluded that the FSSI was detrimental for small businesses, jobs, and the US Economy. Bornstein & Song decided to develop this website as an informational tool to alert the federal government and the federal contracting community of the dangers of the FSSI in its present form.
Bornstein & Song developed this website in response to the federal government's decision to implement and make Mandatory the FSSI for annual federal government procurement of $500+ billion. The FSSI decision was clearly defined in the December 5, 2012 Office of Management & Budget (OMB) "Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies - Improving Acquisition through Strategic Sourcing".
The OMB Memo made it clear that FSSI would be made mandatory for federal agency purchasing of goods and services. According to the Office of Federal Procurement Policy at the OMB, "Mandatory is what we're moving toward. There will be winners and losers, and not all who want to sell to the government can sell to the government."
There is an immediate sense of urgency as GSA intends to implement 10 new FSSIs in FY 2013-2014, beginning with the Janitorial/ Sanitation Products (JanSan) and Maintenance, Repair, and Operations Supplies (MRO), and Building Maintenance and Operations (BMO), Office Supplies (OS3).
All businesses selling to the federal government are vulnerable as the government implements FSSI on a Mandatory basis across all federal government spending. Bornstein & Song determined that the FSSI was going mostly unnoticed and the soon-to-be-affected federal contractors were unaware of the implications of this controversial and risky policy.
Bornstein & Song developed this website as an informational tool to alert the Federal Government Contracting and Vendor Community of the dangers of the FSSI program. Having seen the damage the FSSI has already caused for the Office Supplies (OS2) federal contracting community, and realizing that the FSSI is being fast-tracked and going mostly unnoticed, Bornstein & Song decided to alert the Community.
Bornstein & Song Research, since 2000, has been driven by their faith-based belief that they have been given this unique opportunity to be a "vehicle for good" to address issues which impact the small business community, jobs and the U.S. economy.
The Bornstein & Song Research has been self-funded. Bornstein & Song have devoted their time, effort, and money to research Small Business Issues such as Strategic Sourcing in the Federal and State Government. Their research included other issues of concern such as Small Business Failure; Small Business Financial Literacy; the Unrecognized Link between Small Business, Jobs, Toxic Mortgages, and the Housing Crisis; and Small Business Access to Credit.
Prof. Bornstein testified to the US Senate Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee on April 16, 2008 and has testified to various State Legislative Committees (2009 -2015).
Samuel D. Bornstein: 37 year Professor of Accounting & Taxation, Kean University School of Business, Union, NJ.

Urgent Call-to-Arms:
My Podcast on the new Proposed Rule to Amend the FAR and make FSSI Mandatory:
What You Need to Know about FSSI & Category Management
This podcast is critical to ANYONE who is currently selling to or planning to sell to the government.
The upcoming changes to the Federal Acqusition Regulation (FAR) can potentially lock your company out of doing business with the government

Talk to someone about diabetes
Whether you have just been diagnosed or had diabetes for some time it is important that you get the right support for managing your diabetes. This will help to ensure that your diabetes, blood pressure and blood fats are all kept in check, as well as detecting any early signs of complications so that they can be caught and treated successfully.
Your diabetes team will monitor your diabetes control, and you should have a full diabetes check at least once a year.
This check is referred to as your annual diabetes review: its purpose is to check for early signs of complications and to enable you to lead a healthy life. The annual review consists of a few tests, often on different days, and with different healthcare professionals.
As part of your annual review, it is important that you receive a quality foot check from a properly trained person. Find out more about what to expect at your annual foot check.
The annual diabetes review is an ideal time to have your care planning review. Care planning is a process that should be available to all people with diabetes. It:
The care planning appointment is a chance to talk about the results of your annual diabetes checks (these are included as part of the 15 healthcare essentials) with your healthcare professional, talk about your experiences and discuss how you feel, set goals, and create an action plan to help you manage your diabetes.
Your healthcare professional can help you to understand the results of your diabetes checks, provide you with information and advice, talk about different options – for example, different types of medication available to you – and refer or signpost you to support in your local area.
A care plan is a written document of all these discussions, goals and actions.
The short film below will help you to understand what care planning is, and how you can get more involved in your diabetes care.
None of our much-needed work would be possible without your kind support, so please, make a donation now.

MBBS in China (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery), is becoming popular for international students, the programs field taught in English is getting more and more wide, like Study MBBS IN CHINA (Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery),, BDS IN CHINA (Bachelor of Dentistry Surgery), and programs for Master degree of Medicine, Master degree of Dentistry in English are also available China, a country that is the factory to the world, In 2020 China is expected to be the super power of the world. Shanghai in China today is no lesser than New York, as they are so developed.
MBBS OR Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery, are the two first professional degrees awarded upon graduation from medical school in medicine and surgery by universities in various countries that follow the tradition of the United Kingdom. The naming suggests that they are two separate degrees; however, in practice, they are usually treated as one and awarded together. The degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery are currently awarded in various forms in institutions in Australia, Bangladesh, the Republic of China, Egypt, Fiji, Ghana, Guyana, Hong Kong, Bharat, Iraq, the Republic of Ireland, Jamaica, Jordan, Kenya, Kuwait, Libya, Malawi, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Myanmar, Nepal, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
In many countries, the degrees are awarded after an undergraduate course lasting five or six years. In some cases, a graduate in another discipline may subsequently enter a special graduate-entry medical course, reduced in duration to account for relevant material covered or learning skills acquired during the first degree. In some cases the old first year courses (for six year degrees) in the basic sciences of physics, chemistry and biology have been abolished, and that standard has to be reached by means of school examinations before entry. However, in most countries a newly-graduated Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery must spend a specified period in internship before they can obtain full qualification as a medical practitioner. Historically, Bachelor of Medicine was also the primary medical degree conferred by institutions in the United States and Canada, such as Pennsylvania, Harvard, Toronto, Maryland, and Columbia. Several early North American medical schools were (for the most part) founded by physicians and surgeons who had trained in England and Scotland. University medical education in England culminated with the Bachelor of Medicine qualification and in Scotland the Doctor of Medicine, until from the mid-19th century when the public bodies that regulated medical practice at the time required practitioners in Scotland as well as England to hold the dual Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery degrees. Throughout the 1800s, North American medical schools switched to the tradition of the Ancient universities of Scotland and began conferring Doctor of Medicine rather than Bachelor of Medicine, the first institution to make such a switch being King's College (now Columbia University) in New York.
In the countries that award bachelors' degrees in medicine, however, Doctor of Medicine denotes a holder of a higher doctorate and is reserved for medical practitioners who undertake research and submit a thesis in the field of medicine. Nevertheless, those holding Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery are usually referred to by the courtesy title of "Doctor" and use the prefix "Dr".ClassificationMedical degrees differ from other undergraduate degrees in that they are professional qualifications which lead holders to enter a particular career upon receipt. This is not the case with most other undergraduate degrees, with the exception of qualifications in pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary medicine and qualifying law degrees, so whilst the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery are undergraduate or graduate degrees (depending on the institution), they are perhaps more accurately conceptualized as a so-called first professional degree. Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery is usually awarded as general/ordinary degrees, not as honors degrees, and as such the graduate is not classified as for honors degrees in other subjects.
However, at many institutions (for example the University of Manchester in England and the University of Dundee in Scotland) it is possible for the degrees to be awarded with Honors (i.e. MB ChB (Hons)) or with Commendation, if the board of examiners recognizes exceptional performance throughout the degree course. Very few of these are awarded. More often, it is possible to study one subject for an extra year for an intercalated honors degree. This is usually a Bachelor of Science (BSc), Bachelor of Medical Science (Medics), Bachelor of Medical Biology (BMedBiol) or similar: at Oxford and Cambridge in England and Dublin in Ireland Bachelor of Arts degrees are awarded. At a few universities most medical students obtain an ordinary degree in science as well: when the University of Edinburgh had a six year course, the third year was followed by award of an ordinary BSc (MedSci). In Australia, The University of Melbourne in Australia offers an Arts Degree (BA) to a medical student on the completion of two extra years of undergraduate study, and Monash University offers a Law degree (LLB); if the optional Law degree is undertaken, on completion of their degree the student may choose to do a one-year internship at a hospital and become a doctor, or spend one year doing articles to practise thereafter as a lawyer.
At the University of Nottingham in England all medical students on the five year course obtain a Bachelor of Medical Sciences (BMedSci) degree without an extra intercalated year.
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland along with certain National University of Ireland medical schools offers a BMedSci qualification on completion of a thesis based on 2-3 months of summer research; only students achieving honors in their preclinical courses are eligible to receive the degree.
At Imperial College London certain medical students are able to extend their intercalated year to an extra three years, thus temporarily exiting the MBBS course to complete a PhD. Upon completion of the PhD, the student is required to sit the remaining 2 years of the medicine course in order to receive his/her MBBS degree. Progression Medical school graduates are only entitled to use the courtesy title "Doctor" upon registration as a medical practitioner with the relevant regulatory body in their respective country. Medical graduates are also eligible to sit various postgraduate examinations, including examinations for membership and fellowship of professional institutions (such as Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons), postgraduate Masters degrees (such as a Master of Surgery or Master of Obstetrics) and a postgraduate doctorate in medicine (eg Doctor of Medicine, if earned in Ireland, the UK or Commonwealth nations), and board certification examinations.
Bachelor of Dental Surgery ( B.D.S ) is a first professional degree programme in dentistry. Other equivalent dental degrees are the BChD, DDS, DMD, BDent, and BDSc
Dentistry is the known evaluation, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity, maxillofacial area and the adjacent and associated structures and their impact on the human body. Dentistry is widely considered necessary for complete overall health. Those in the practice of dentistry are known as dentists. Other people aiding in oral health service include dental assistants, dental hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists.
Dentistry is that branch of medicine which deals with the study and practice of diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases of the mouth, the maxilla, and the face.
BDS Course
The course is divided into 4 years of training and 1 year compulsory rotatory internship.
Dentistry usually encompasses very important practices related to the oral cavity. The most common treatments involve the dental surgery on the teeth as a treatment for dental caries. Decayed teeth can be filled with dental amalgam, dental composite, dental porcelain and precious or non-precious metals. Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a more specialized form of dental surgery. Dentists can prescribe medication, x-rays, and devices for home or in-office use. Many oral diseases (such as bilateral odontogenic keratocysts) and abnormalities (such as several unerupted teeth) can indicate systemic, neural, or other diseases. Most general practitioners of dentistry perform restorative, prosthetic, endodontic therapy, periodontal therapy, and exodontia, as well as performing examinations. Many general practitioners are comfortable treating complex cases, as well as placing implants and extracting third molars(wisdom teeth). All dentists must achieve a certain degree of skill in various disciplines in order to graduate from dental school and become an accredited dentist.
Dentists also encourage prevention of dental caries through proper hygiene (tooth brushing and flossing), fluoride, and tooth polishing, although excessive brushing can cause damage to the gums. Dental sealants are plastic materials applied to one or more teeth, for the intended purpose of preventing dental caries or other forms of tooth decay. Recognized but less conventional preventive agents include xylitol, which is bacteriostatic, casein derivatives, and proprietary products such as Cavistat BasicMints.
In addition to general dentistry, there are about 9 recognized dental specialties in the US, Canada, and Australia. To become a specialist requires one to train in a residency or advanced graduate training program. Once residency is completed, the doctor is granted a certificate of specialty training. Many specialty programs have optional or required advanced degrees such as a masters degree: (MS, MSc, MDS, MSD, MDSc, MMSc, or MDent), doctoral degree: (DClinDent, DMSc, or PhD), or medical degree: (MD/MBBS specific to Maxillofacial Surgery and sometimes Oral Medicine).
Specialists in these fields are designated registrable (U.S. "Board Eligible") and warrant exclusive titles such as orthodontist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, endodontist, pediatric dentist, periodontist, or prosthodontist upon satisfying certain local (U.S. "Board Certified"), (Australia/NZ: "FRACDS"), or (Canada: "FRCD(C)") registry requirements.

An ink test, he's tried to buff it 3 times.
Zealous Ink (Black Bliss!) 4 oz Refills Available Very Soon!!
I was hoping he could pull it off cause I wasn't even feelin the handstyle on this
Zealous Ink (Black Bliss!) 4 oz Refills Available Very Soon!!
As for my buff testing I just use some heavy paper towel dabbed in whatever im using to buff with, and then rub really hard. No abrasion. If I used a scrub pad of some sort the chemicals would probably take the paint off the sign.
ii can do a bleedthrough test in two days with all those inks plus red zombie on its own, Garvey, ded inside blue, and ded outdoorman,pen ink
so all hose on their own plus the inks in the pictures

sounds ace. i would love to contribute.
huh that is weird, i wouldnt think it would have the same result. I wonder if it makes any difference regarding how it holds up

Concrete won't be established as the preferred building material unless the industry promotes itself to a labor pool that has increasingly few incentives to work long hours in bad weather. Industry leaders recognize the need to develop talent to meet future labor demand, as shown by the continuing development of Middle Tennessee State University's Concrete Industry Management program and initiatives at the high school and grade school levels. The industry will need more people like the following individuals, who make a difference by promoting value-added concrete to, and partnering with, contractors and specifiers and recruiting other young people for the industry. Rich Lohr Age: 36 Title: Sales representative Company: Van Der Vaart Inc., Sheboygan, Wis. Four ready-mix plants (28 trucks) and two block/building supply operations (eight trucks) supply industrial, commercial, residential and agricultural projects in four counties in east-central Wisconsin. Subsidiaries include Tri-County Ready Mix & Excavating Co., Sheboygan Concrete and ready-mix supplier C. Harvey Co. Inc. How long with company: 18 years Training/education: Various positions in the field, including general laborer, crane operator, mixer driver. Why I chose concrete production: After high school I worked as a laborer and intended to get into heavy equipment and excavating. I found I liked working with concrete and working with people in the field. Industry's biggest challenge: Number one, aggregate supply arrangements. In our area, no one wants a pit within five miles of their home. So high-quality aggregates have to be trucked in from farther away, increasing end-product cost. Number two, large companies buying small firms or running them out of business. I'm concerned about a lack of competition that increases concrete's end cost. This may lead to higher prices, resulting in use of concrete as a secondary product, not the product of choice. Having worked in the field, Lohr has a customer's perspective. This helps in a service- oriented market dominated by front-discharge delivery, pumping and conveying. Lohr expands Van Der Vaart's market by promoting these services and residential concrete uses. He works a booth at local home shows, promoting colored concrete, including stamped flatwork and decorative walls. Lohr figures that market has tripled the last five years. "Before, nobody did decorative concrete. Now we have two customers who do nothing else," he says. "We've done colored poured walls, sidewalks, patios, even colored driveways with brick borders." The Sheboygan County Home Builders Association recently changed its bylaws to name Lohr president. In the past, only builder members, not associate members, could serve as president. "Value-added is about the only thing you can sell in a competitive market," he says. "Having a full-time sales rep (himself) on the road helps, too." This enables Lohr to check on every customer's project, schedule orders for the rest of the week and offer a value-added "product of the week." Lohr also promotes the industry by drawing on his eight years of mixer-driving experience when he attends orientation day for juniors and seniors at local high schools and recruits drivers. Lohr turns the seasonal nature of the work to his advantage. "I tell them they can still enjoy ice fishing in the winter," he says. Mark Deetz Age: 34 Title: Sales/marketing amp; operations coordinator Company: Ready Mixed Concrete Co., Omaha, Neb., subsidiary of Lyman-Richey sand and gravel operation. Omaha/Council Bluffs, Iowa, paving market accounts for 50% of concrete sales. Has supplied concrete for total reconstruction of I-80 in the region for most of the 1990s. Eight permanent plants, 175 mixer trucks. How long with company: 15 years Training/education: Associate's degree in Construction Technology, Northeast Community College, Calmar, Iowa. ACI Level I-certified and completed NRMCA Short Course on Concrete and Aggregates. Why I chose concrete production: My interest started in high school and continued through college courses and hands-on applications. Concrete is a unique and versatile building material, and advances in cement and admixture technology will present complex future challenges. Industry's biggest challenge: The labor issue. We need to encourage and properly train concrete finishers. Today's concrete is stronger, less permeable and more durable, but that presents challenges in placing and finishing techniques. We need to work closely with contractors to ensure that owners obtain the expected final product, a product that stands for quality and that will be specified again and again. After starting as a QC technician and QC manager, Deetz had a position created for him, one that gets production and sales to work cohesively. "I'm the tie that binds central dispatch, sales and delivery," he says. Another ongoing task is selling specifiers on concrete. Deetz notes that local producers can profit from the Federal Highway Administration's recent prodding of state DOTs to adopt specifications for strength, thickness and smoothness, as has the Federal Aviation Administration. He hopes the Nebraska DOT follows Iowa's lead and moves toward performance vs. prescriptive specifications. But achieving hardened concrete properties like exceptional smoothness depends on customers' own skilled workers, Deetz notes. "If we don't develop concrete finishers, we won't have anyone to put our product down," he says. "I see the quality of workmanship taking a step back every day while concrete is getting more sophisticated." What skills are important to someone in Deetz's position? "I had several communications courses in college, and lots of students didn't take them very seriously," he says. "But learning phone etiquette was just as good an asset as any technical training I had." Nick Squeo Age: 31 Title: Projects coordinator Company: PRM Concrete Corp., Pawtucket, R.I. Offers colored, high-strength and exposed-aggregate concrete and supplies residential, commercial, industrial and state projects. Currently supplying caisson concrete for Providence Place Mall. Company has 19 mixer trucks and six dump trucks. How long with company: 15 years Training/education: Bachelor's in Industrial Technology, Rhode Island College, Providence. MBA in Operations Management, Bryant College, Smithfield. Why I chose concrete production: I've always been interested in equipment and plants, and I like the experience of working with construction teams to get a project done. Industry's biggest challenge: Adapting to change. Just because we did it one way for so many years doesn't mean it's right. There's usually a better way. The industry has to be less interested in yesterday's order and more interested in future relationships with customers. Squeo appears to be a QC manager, but he'd tell you he's also a design consultant, and, in a sense, a sales rep. He often custom-designs mixes instead of trying to fit a standard mix to a given project. He also believes in disclosing mix characteristics in the form of a professional presentation during pre-pour meetings to prevent last-minute surprises, i.e. load rejections. When he was pursuing his MBA, Squeo wrote and presented a paper, complete with overheads, entitled "Ready Mixed Concrete 2000: Statistical Applications for the Concrete Industry" for a quality control course. The paper stresses that quality control is service. It addresses, among other topics, the importance of aggregate testing and the options of overdesigning (no experience with specification) vs. statistical process control (experience with specification). Squeo now makes similar presentations in pre-pour meetings. He's trying to prevent a situation in which the specifications writer informs the contractor of a variable such as soil quality on the actual pour date. If a pre-pour meeting isn't feasible, Squeo says, the

Police Catch, Arrest Purse Snatcher
Syracuse police say they arrested a man they believe stole a purse from a young woman on James Street.
Officers say they spoke to a 23-year-old woman who told them she about to go inside Skyline Apartments on James Street when a black male grabbed her purse and fled. The victim was not injured. The officers began a search for the suspect and learned he may have entered an apartment building on East Willow St. Police found the suspect there and recovered the victim's purse. They charged 48-year-old Pinnell Paul of Syracuse with grand larceny and took him to the Justice Center to await arraignment

Historical records matching Lewis Samuel Hills
Immediate Family
About Lewis Samuel Hills
Gilbert and Gerrish Freight Train (1862) Age at Departure: 26
Birth: Mar. 8, 1836, South Amherst, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
Death: Jul. 21, 1915, Cottonwood, Salt Lake County, Utah, USA
Burial: Salt Lake City Cemetery, Salt Lake City Salt Lake County, Utah, USA Plot: PARK-12-1-1-E
Son of Lewis Hills and Rhoda Thayer; born March 8th 1836 at South Amherst, Mass., about half way from the "Green" to "Bay Road," on west side of road leading south from south east corner of "Green." Capt. Enos Dickinson was neighbor on south side. He was also guardian of my small estate (about $200.) left by my father. Lewis Hills (Sr) was son of Samuel Hills. Samuel Hills was son of John Hills. John Hills served through the war of Revolution from Connecticut, and returned home and died of small pox immediately thereafter, and was buried at rear of house in East Hampton Conn. Rhoda Thayer was daughter of John Thayer, who enlisted in the war of the Revolution from Braintree, Mass; he settled in Belchertown Mass., after the war, and received a pension until his death in 1834.
My father died April 11th 1836. My mother died Sept. 17th 1840. I have no recollection of my parents, except once seeing my mother laying in bed, (Probably when sick with consumption, shortly before her death), and also remember seeing her in the coffin after her death. I remember going to primary, or infants' school, in South Amherst before removing to Springfield. I recollect visiting some place before I went to Springfield in 1840, that my sister Julia told me later was our Grandfather Thayer's home in Belchertown, Mass. I have never seen any of my mother's relatives since. I called at Aunt Smith's house in Hadley once while enroute from Amherst to Northampton, but she was in Boston visiting one of her sons.
At my mother's death I was taken by my Uncle Samuel and Aunt Elizabeth Hills, and remained with them, at their home in Springfield, Mass., during my boyhood. I attended the public schools in Springfield going to the High School, Ariel Parish, Principal, about two years-1850 and 1851. While a boy I delivered newspapers on residence routes in Springfield, mostly for the "Republican," Samuel Bowles, Publisher, on what were known then as the "Depot" and "Hill" routes. Spent a month or two in Summer at South Amherst several times during my boyhood. Summer of 1852 was clerk in George Chandlers' grocery store on the "Hill" Springfield, Mass.; October 1st 1852 to September 3rd 1853 was clerk in Culter and Smith's grocery store, north side of State Street, near Main, Springfield Mass. Uncle Samuel Hills removed to Madison, Ohio, Spring of 1853, and I boarded with Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Allen on Spring Street, remainder of my stay in Springfield.
Uncle Samuel and Aunt Elizabeth had one son, Lewis, who died in infancy. Aunt Elizabeth Hills had a daughter by a former marriage, Mary Bracket,who married Charles DeForrest; she had one son, John B. DeForrest, born in Springfield; they removed to Madison, Ohio, soon after Uncle Samuel; Mary DeForrest afterward dying at Madison. The son, John B., is still living at Madison, (in 1905). Uncle Samuel and Aunt Elizabeth removed to San Jose, California, in 1873; afterwards removed to Salt Lake City, Utah and died here.
Uncle Hervey Hills also resided in Springfield, Mass., afterward removing to Davenport, Iowa. His wife, Aunt Sophia, died at Davenport in 1880, and he removed to Hartford, Conn., and died there in 1881. They had two sons, Henry H. and George F., both living in Hartford, Conn., in 1905. George F. has one son, George, residing in New York City. I also had one Aunt, Mary, who married Orson Goodake of South Amherst, Mass., both dying there; they had a very large family, and there are many of their descendants living in Amherst, Springfield, etc. My grandfather, Samuel Hills, resided in Springfield, Mass., until his death in 1842. Besides those heretofore named he had three daughters by his second wife; Jane Amelia, who married Frederick Richards, and died in Springfield in 1843; Anna, still living (1905) in Hartford, Conn; and Harriet, who married Jonathan F. Morris (President of the Charter Oak National Bank of Hartford, Conn.) My brother Oliver died in Springfield in 1846, the body being taken to South Amherst for burial.
My brother Harvey left Amherst and resided in Springfield for a year or two about 1849 or 1850, leaving there for Ohio, and later Iowa, about 1850 or 1851. My sister Julia removed to Springfield about 1840, making her home at Uncle Hervey's, and later with Aunt Anna. She was a clerk in Mr. Mann's store for some years. On October 15th, 1853, I left Springfield; stopped a few days visiting Uncle Samuel and Aunt Elizabeth at Madison, Ohio, arrived at Charlton, Iowa, Nov. 11th 1853, where my brother Harvey had preceded me by a year or two.
I traveled from Springfield to Genesee, Illinois, by rail, thence by stage to Rock Island, thence by boat to Burlington, Iowa, thence by stage to Albia, Iowa.
Owing to the lateness of the season the stage did not run from Albia to Chariton, the mail being carried on horseback, and I walked this distance, about thirty miles, in one day. My brother was part owner and manager of a store at Chariton, and I assisted him on the books and otherwise that winter.
The next Spring (1854) I removed to Burlington, Iowa, keeping books for the mercantile firm of D. Baum & Company. In July had the small pox, and the Baum & Co. store proving a failure, I returned to Chariton in August. The Armstrong family came to Chariton about this time, and my brother married Rachel Armstrong there Jan. 1st 1856.
Was clerk in the U.S. Land Office in Chariton until July 1855, when I started to go to a new town, Sioux City, where a land office was to be opened, a Mr. Yeomans of Chariton having been appointed Registrar. My brother Harvey took me with his own team to Council Bluff, where we learned that there was but one log cabin on the town site of Sioux City, and that the office could not open for some months. I got acquainted with the officers of the Land Office at Council Bluffs, and as they were very busy, at the request of Mr. Lysander W. Babbitt, the Registrar, I assisted them while awaiting for the Sioux City office to be ready. After a few weeks, Mr. Babbitt asked me to get released from my engagement with Mr. Yeomans and to take charge as Chief Clerk of the Council Bluffs office. Mr. Yeomans consented, and I have never seen Sioux City to this time. I remained in the land office, during the remainder of Mr. Babbitt's term of office, as well as the term of his successor, Mr. James Pollard, succeeding the latter as Registrar in 1859, being appointed by President James Buchanan. Was a member of the City Council of Council Bluffs for one year. My brother Harvey removed from Chariton, Iowa, to Nebraska, in 1856, soon after his marriage, and my sister Julia came from Springfield to live with them early in 1857, and I visited them several times a year while they resided there, going down by boat in the summer, and driving a team in the winter.
In the Spring of 1861 I removed to Nebraska City, and resided with Harvey and family until 1862. May 12th, 1862 Harvey, Rachel, with their two daughters, Lula and May, and myself, left Nebraska City, via Omaha, Nebraska, leaving Omaha May 17th. Were just ten weeks reaching Salt Lake City, Utah. We had seven teams; two of horses; three of mules, and two of oxen. I remained in Salt Lake City, Harvey and family going on to California, and afterwards to Oregon, where Sister Julia joined them, going by water, and the Isthmus of Panama.

Finally i figure out how u wore ur shawl...
You looked so cute kak shea! ;) Btw 2 months ago me and my girls went to norway for our summer getaway, and while strolling around oslo city, we were greeted by a muslim lady about our age, and asked whether we are malaysians. And she was very excited seeing us because she and her sister are big fans of malaysian hijab fashionista! Even norweign spotted you, gorgeous! Keep spreading the love to the whole world! <3
masyaAllah! really?? this is just uber cool! :DD
Yay me for bringing Malaysia to the map of the world!
May all of us show the best example to our dear international friends aite? :)
wah shea, norweign da kenal you . i guess you da boleh kalahkan naomi campbell taw. go shea go shea ! hihi

Can u recommend where to buy pins? I use those pins with the colour bobs on top but they won't hold up my scarf. :( Thanks in advance! :)
Thanks a lot for the tutorial! I love your style. Been searching on ways to wear loose style hijab and I think this one is just perfect! Gonna try out this 'Shea wrap' soon xD.
ps. I've been your silent reader since.. forever! :))
that's so shea!creatif n owes artsy-girl!
-with love yanna n son-
I usually use pins that has flat bobs(those that semstresses usually use.) They're a bit longer. thus will not slip out easily.
wehhh!! koranggg!! tgk jgk ek?? hahaha maluuu!
btw thanx tauuu! <3
Yes kakak, mashaAllah ;) InshaAllah, let us show them, Islam is beautiful ;) Btw what i've seen, malaysians over here still cant accept bila someone solat tak pakai telekung, although everything is properly covered. In uk we used to pray without telekung, bila balik sini, bila solat kat shopping mall (i was wearing shocking pink maxi skirt & pink blouse & tudung biasa with chest covered, bila nak solat i pakai stokin yg tebal & long cardigan to cover my body & bum in case terselak) people were staring at me like "errr?" =.=" most of us still think that nak solat kena pakai telekung putih or jubah mcm mak arab. Ladies,islam itu mudah. "Dan sebaik baik pakaian ialah pakaian yang kita pakai bila keluar dari rumah adalah sah untuk dipakai untuk solat" - my senior said. So lets wear it right ladies! ;)
