text: SILK WOLF Destin Jacobus Atlanta Ambient, Dub Techno, Deep House, Witch House, Gothic Vogue | Atlanta A long time staple of the underground music scene, Atlanta based Silk Wolf is known for casting spells across a wide spectrum of nightlife events, art showcases, fashion shows and exclusive private parties across the East Coast. His sound ranges from deep and dark to sensual, light and uplifting; Appropriately, the music moniker Silk Wolf is a symbol of this ever present contrast and duality. Locally dubbed the 'Jack Skellington of house music' Silk Wolf expresses a certain mystery and magic with music. This diverse repertoire has led him to perform with a wide variety of artist such as Crystal Castles, Skream, Calvin Harris, superstar DJ Keoki, DJ Pierre, Tommie Sunshine, Charles Feelgood, Bird Peterson, DJ Micro, Treasure Fingers, Mr V and even DJing along side members of Ladytron, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, The Faint & Combichrist. He's been featured in URB magazine, Current Television, radio stations (both locally and internationally) and even on the personal music blog of superstar DJ/Producer Felix Da Housecat. Beyond the traditional nightlife environment, he's been seen playing at art and fashion showcase events for clients such as Christian Dior, BCBG, GUESS Clothing, Monster Energy, Redbull, Skull Candy, Jägermeister, and more. Look for his DJ sets to range from deep, dark and dirty to soulful and uplifting: the duality of class versus trash... the blended sound of furry handcuffs, scary movies, and vodka soaked late night dancefloors. Simply put, this creature of the night knows how to make things move.

Issue Position: Health Care
"We should move towards a health care 'system' that includes every Vermonter in one insurance pool: a Vermont self-insurance plan that provides care for all of us based on our ability to pay. It is not too different than how we pay for police or fire protection. We may not need it now, but we chip in because it is important to have it when we do. It means switching to more public funding. But, it also means your premiums will go down significantly, maybe disappear completely."
You Deserve Affordable Health Care: Under Douglas' watch the number of uninsured in our state has actually increased, while the average Vermont family will pay $13,000 - $15,000 for health care alone this year. This amounts to over 25% of the average family income. As a state, we will pay an estimated $4.6 billion for health care this year, almost twice the $2.8 billion spent in 2002, the year "Governor Affordability" took office. And it's estimated that as much as a third of every dollar spent on health care goes to paperwork, bureaucracy and insurance company profits. This is unacceptable; health care costs are out of control and catchy slogans will not solve the problem.
Vermonters are Ready for Real Solutions: Governor Douglas and Speaker Symington claim there isn't the political will to take on the status quo because the only solution will cost taxpayers more than they are willing to spend. Here they play the fear card, yet, when the population is polled on health care reform around 70% support change "even if it means higher taxes." Unlike my opponents, I will make the issue of affordable health care the priority it should be.
A Vermont Self-Insurance Plan: As Governor, I would travel the state for a series of public discussions. We have to get together and decide what our Vermont-based solution will look like. But we must build from certain principles, such as: one insurance program, so all Vermonters get the same care, whether employed or not, and everyone should pay according to his or her ability. We need to take health care decisions out of the hands of insurance companies and put them back where they belong - in your hands. We need to lower the overall costs of health care and a Vermont self-insurance plan that puts all Vermonters in one insurance pool, taking the burden off of employers as well as school and town budgets, will ultimately save businesses, families and taxpayers money.

2007 Year in Review: Politics
12/26/07 12:50PM By Steve Delaney
| Download MP3
(Host) As 2007 draws to a close, we continue our review of the top stories of the year. Today, we turn to politics.
There's a theory that more legislation is passed in odd-numbered years, when lawmakers are not distracted by running for office.
But as VPR's Steve Delaney reports, politics seldom took a back seat to policy in the past twelve months.
(Delaney) Governor Jim Douglas and legislative leaders pledged to work together, as the lawmakers convened in January. That harmony lasted about six weeks, with Douglas firing the first shot
(Douglas) "As we head into the Town Meeting break Vermonters have every right to ask what the Legislature's been doing to make Vermont more affordable, to make our economy stronger, and our families more prosperous. The answer, unfortunately is very little action.''
(Delaney) Senate President Pro-tem Peter Shumlin responded that if there was any inaction, the Governor was behind it.
(Shumlin) "We were talking about the importance of climate change. The governor's reaction was, it's not an issue. We brought him along. He went out and said the dairy farmers were in good shape. We said that's not what we're hearing, from our dairy farmers. He came along. We went out on the Bennington office building and said this is a disaster. It's is not being managed. There's no leadership from the governor. He came along. So, we welcome his participation. We're doing policy. We would wish he would do less politics and join us.''
(Delaney) That wish never came true. On gay marriage, on funding scholarships, on property tax reform - on every major issue - the two sides found fresh reasons to disagree, and to blame each other for the absence of progress. And there's no indication that the discord has diminished as lawmakers prepare to gather again in an election year.
For the first time in 16 years, there was a new face in Vermont's congressional delegation. Peter Welch replaced Bernie Sanders in the House when Sanders succeeded Jim Jeffords in the Senate.
Political analyst Eric Davis says Welch was quickly at home in Congress.
(Davis) "He did a very good job of solidifying his political position, very early in his time in the House of Representatives.''
(Delaney) But Welch got in trouble at home for refusing to embrace the springtime surge for impeaching the president. The voters of 37 towns joined in that call at Town Meeting.
Welch reported those results on the House floor.
(Welch) "What motivated this effort is a commonly shared view that this administration has grossly abused its power and pursued terribly misguided policies. Madam Speaker, while I disagree with the tactic of impeachment, I completely share the goal of restoring accountability and a new direction to our government.''
(Delaney) Bernie Sanders also had a transitional year, moving from House to Senate, and becoming at ease on the bigger stage.
(Sanders) "I think we can have a significant impact. The truth of the matter is that the Senate is a pretty conservative institution. And I would hope that a number of us who were just elected as progressives will be speaking up for the declining middle class, for people who don't have health insurance.''
(Delaney) In the Senate as in the House, Sanders continued to insist on a better deal for the poor and for veterans.
For Patrick Leahy, it was a year of consolidating his considerable power as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. VPR's Bob Kinzel visited Leahy in Washington when the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay was a hot topic.
(Kinzel) "Leahy says Guantanamo has yielded little valuable information, and has damaged this country's reputation around the world.''
(Leahy) "It would not endanger our safety at all to close Guantanamo today. What it would do is send a signal to the rest of the world that America is going to start following its own laws.''
(Kinzel) "Leahy and the Democrats face some major obstacles in trying to change the policies of the Bush administration. They need the support of 60 senators to prevent a filibuster, and two-thirds of the Senate to override a presidential veto. As a result, so far, most of their reform efforts have not been successful.''
(Delaney) There was one other striking example of partisanship in Vermont. Former President Bill Clinton was warmly received at Middlebury College. President George W. Bush did not come to Vermont. Again. It's the only state he hasn't visited, perhaps because his approval ratings are lower here than anywhere else, and, perhaps, because the voters of 37 towns want him impeached.
For VPR News, I'm Steve Delaney.
Note: Our review of 2007 continues tomorrow with the story of state workers in Bennington, who say their workplace made them sick.

I assume that the changes are all in the head, intake and exhaust. My brother that lives in NY just hit a pothole/bump and gashed his oil pan. Even worse - the pan was new. He did the same thing just a month ago!
I'm trying to help him find a used pan, and it would be easier if I had the option of finding one from either the 12V or the 30V V6. Thanks!!

CJ Armstrong, II
Nov. 4, 1995
Newton Falls
Trumbull County
Ohio, USA
Dec. 11, 2006
Trumbull County
Ohio, USA
CJ (C Boy or CC or Boy Boy) Armstrong 2nd -Everyone had a special name for this sweet boy. You were a joy in our lives and we miss you so very much. The tears are flowing.
We just had to do one of the hardest things we ever had to do, We had to have our sweet precious CJ put to sleep. He was a beautiful 11 year old black and white Shih Tzu. CJ left us at 9:20 AM on Monday, December 11, 2006. He will forever be loved and missed.
He was born Nov. 3,1995 in Newton Falls, Ohio. He was purchased because we had a previous Shih Tzu and loved him so much we wanted another one. This breed is very loving, sweet and gentle. You could do anything with them and they never complain. CJ was a Christmas present for my wife but he was always at my heels. He was very alert and didn't miss much.
He loved to travel and if you got his collar and leash, he was always ready to go. We have a motor home and when we started packing he wanted to make sure he was going. He would sit on the dashboard and watch everything going on outside.
My wife has a handicap scooter and he loved to ride on it. Being the larger, he would sit down by her feet and ride looking forward and his brother AJ would ride in the small basket and off they would go. We took them to Florida for a couple of winters and everyone in the park knew "our boys". Little AJ sure misses his brother as much as we do.
CJ was very intellegent and could tell you what he wanted using his paws, grunts and eyes. He would actually rub his paw on the glass if he wanted the sliding door open. He would use his nose to slide back the screen door, scratch on the wooden door to get it opened for him, hit his dish if he was hungry and he had a good appitite. We had a stool beside the bed so he could get up and if he wanted you to move over so he could get up he would grunt in your ear and if that didn't work, he would tap you on the shoulder. If he was laying and you wanted him to move, all you had to do was say "watch your tail". He love to sleep in the daytime with his head covered and usually on his back or he liked to curl up in a small place out of the way.
We have so many good memories and he will never be forgotten. He died with "mom and dad" holding him, talking to him and kissing him. His brother AJ got to see him before he died but we didn't let him stay in the room.
If any of you are animal lovers, you know how much we are hurting. But nothing could be done for CJ and we couldn't let him suffer. The day he died he was alert and his love showed in his eyes, it was hard to believe what we had to do.
He will be waiting for us with 4 more of his brothers at Rainbow Bridge and we will all be together again someday. I'm sure his brothers met him with love. Till then they will live on in our hearts, they were all loved and so missed. All they ask in return for their love and faithfulness was that you loved them back. He is buried in Western Farms, which is a pet cemetery in Grafton, Ohio.
Please visit my brothers here on FAG, they need flowers too. We are all in a virtual cemetery that our parents made just for us. Thank you.
His brothers at Rainbow bridge are:

Release the clipped hair above the part and use a comb to make another horizontal part to 1 inch above the previously applied extension. Once again, clip your natural hair that is above the part out of the way.

text: Jul 26, 2014 - Natty Creme provides good moisture and definition when I use the LOC method. I have high porosity hair, so my oil of choice is JBCO. The Creme plays well with other products, does not build up, defines my coils, and adds great sheen to my hair. The fragrance is a soft vanilla orange and does not linger. I really enjoy the feel and look of my hair when I moisturize and style with this product. I would also note that because of the products spread ability, it only takes a small amount to moisturize and style your hair. The only negative I have is the price - $22 plus shipping is a little much. But even with that I would buy it again.

Let's face facts: 2000 was a lousy year for movies. A preponderance of stinky cinema left us with few truly great films. Fortunately, Y2K pulled out of its death dive at the last possible second, with a host of fine films crowding into theaters (in New York and L.A. anyway) before the Dec. 31 Oscar-consideration deadline. As a result, fully half of the films in my top ten have yet to open in Montana. On the plus side, this means that the usually dead time of January will be packed with great films—so keep your eyes peeled for 'em.
Almost Famous It didn't make much of a splash at the box office, but this largely autobiographical love letter to early '70s rock 'n' roll by journalist-turned-filmmaker Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire) does everything right. Both hilarious and heartfelt, it captures the unbridled joy that music is capable of breeding in its creators and its fans. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Picture, Best Director (Cameron Crowe), Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor (Patrick Fugit), Best Supporting Actress (Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand).
The Claim I'm not even sure this one will make it to theaters. British director Michael Winterbottom (Welcome to Sarajevo, Wonderland) has crafted a gorgeous, epic retelling of Thomas Hardy's classic novel The Mayor of Casterbridge as set during the American gold rush. Pathos and passion are pushed to the limit in this slow-building, soul-shaking parable, the script of which owes as much to Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West as it does to Hardy's novel. Like Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo) without the macho posturing or Terrence Malik (Days of Heaven) without the boring bits, this is lush, elemental filmmaking. I guarantee you won't see a more beautiful film all year. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography.
The Contender Even I'll admit that the weak-kneed ending drops the ball, but this political thriller about a liberal female senator (Joan Allen) whose nomination for vice president is all but destroyed by a vicious Republican smear campaign (led by chameleonic Gary Oldman) makes for a powerhouse actor's showcase. As if—in the wake of the recent presidential election—there's any doubt about how nasty and partisan our government has become, just check out this political eye-popper. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Director (Rod Lurie), Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress (Joan Allen).
High Fidelity This adaptation of Nick Hornby's smash novel silenced most of the critics (who objected to the movie's scene-shift from London to Chicago) thanks to John Cusack's lived-in performance and Stephen Frears' light-touch directing. Some found this examination of an obsessive loser enumerating his dating woes off-putting. Others found it uncomfortably close to the truth. High Fidelity sported the best ensemble cast of the year and some of 2000's most sharply observed comic dialogue. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor (John Cusack), Best Supporting Actor (Jack Black).
O Brother Where Art Thou Stupid film critics. Ever since Cannes, they've savaged this latest Coen brothers film because it doesn't live up to the frosty black humor of Fargo. Have they never seen Raising Arizona? Or The Hudsucker Proxy? Or The Big Lebowski? This slapstick re-telling of Homer's The Odyssey as set in the 1930s South is this year's biggest hoot. Star George Clooney (who leads a trio of prison escapees on an epic quest for buried treasure) has never been looser or funnier on screen. Deserves Oscar Nominations for Best Actor (George Clooney), Best Score.
Requiem for a Dream Dark, depressing and utterly hypnotic, this piercing examination of four people tumbling down the slide of drug addiction in New York's Brighton Beach marks the coming-out of this year's indie auteur to watch Darren Aronofsky (Pi). Adapted from the novel by Hubert Selby Jr. (Last Exit to Brooklyn), this razor-sharp mood-piece doesn't so much de-glamorize drugs as de-humanize them, showing us just how far people are willing to sink for that ever-important fix. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Director (Darren Aronofsky), Best Supporting Actress (Ellen Burstyn), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Score.
Shadow of the Vampire Willem Dafoe handed in this year's most bravura performance as a method-acting vampire hired to star in famed director F. W. Murnau's silent horror classic Nosferatu. While this fantasy-cum-biopic appeals most to excitable movie fans familiar with the Murnau original, even the most casual moviegoers can appreciate the film's moody atmosphere and sly humor. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Director (E. Elias Merhige), Best Actor (Willem DaFoe), Best Cinematography.
Traffic This scathing drug war drama pretty much serves as a template on how to make an Oscar-winner. Unfortunately, director Steven Soderbergh's best competition may be Steven Soderbergh himself (for 2000's Erin Brockovich). Juggling a massive ensemble cast and three concurrent storylines, Soderbergh pulls off an epic feat. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Picture, Best Director (Steven Soderbergh), Best Supporting Actor (Benicio Del Toro).
Unbreakable One of those "love it or hate it" propositions, this follow-up to the immensely successful Sixth Sense seemed to wither in the shadow of that first film's hype. Taken on its own merits, however, this is a devilishly clever re-imagination of the entire superhero genre—sort of a thinking man's comic book. Director M. Night Shyamalan's theatrical gimmickry worked wonders with this thoroughly unexpected, eerily moody urban fairy tale. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Actor (Bruce Willis), Best Original Screenplay.
You Can Count On Me Probably the nicest surprise of 2000 was this supremely understated character study about a brother and sister (Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney) trying to get along as adults. She's the organized, overprotective older sister. He's the ne'er-do-well young drifter. What makes this all-too-common situation work so beautifully is the added poignancy that we, the viewers, know their parents were killed when they were young children. With no parental figures to guide them, they're stuck repeating the roles they established as children. The actors carry off their pitch-perfect dialogue with a sublime perfection. Deserves Oscar nominations for: Best Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress (Laura Linney), Best Actor (Mark Ruffalo).

text: With all its ups and downs, its climaxes and pitfalls, epic victories and sudden u-turns, the true story of Wolf + Lamb echoes the wisdom of fellow New York wiseass Woody Allen, who once remarked that "a relationship is like a shark. It has to constantly move forward or it dies." Together Zev the wolf and Gadi the lamb have kept the shark alive for over a decade by embracing the courage to venture into uncharted waters—forever plumbing the depths, riding the waves, and scouting new horizons.

Murray hopes to find overdrive this week as he steps up his quest for title glory on Sunday, but Frenchman Richard Gasquet is a fourth-round threat and has proven previously that he can give Britain's number one some anxious moments on grass.
In 2008 they met in Wimbledon's fourth round and Murray came from two sets and a break down to win. The Scot said: "I have a very tough match against Gasquet, a guy who I have had a couple of close matches against in the past so I expect a really tough one."
He added: "Obviously I want it to go in my favour, that's what I plan on doing, but you need to go out and have a gameplan and execute it well to beat guys like Gasquet.
"The two times I have played him in grand slams I have found myself two sets and a break down both times so I expect a very tough game."
Murray told BBC Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "It gets harder with every single round."
The 24-year-old Scot's predecessor as Britain's top player, Tim Henman, knows all about the challenges of Wimbledon's second week. He reached four semi-finals in five years, whereas Murray has got through to the last four twice, in 2009 and 2010.
Henman believes Murray must find something exceptional to deny Wimbledon's 'big three' - defending champion Rafael Nadal, six-time winner Roger Federer and the hottest player on the circuit this year, Novak Djokovic.
"I think they're fractionally ahead. They've got 28 slams between them. But I think Andy is a very close fourth," Henman told Press Association Sport.
"The distance between third and fourth is much closer than the distance between fourth and fifth, so Andy has definitely separated himself from the pack."

Actually, Fox, there's at least $1.35 trillion "to BP's name right now"
Fox News would like you to believe that poor little British Petroleum doesn't have the wherewithal to satisfy the demands of the bullying Obama administration. Tonight on Hannity, Fox Business' Sandra Smith criticized [1] BP's voluntary agreement [2] to provide $20 billion to an independently administered escrow account in order to settle claims from those affected by the Gulf oil spill, claiming, "There's not $20 billion to BP's name right now." Smith argued: "The latest quarterly report from the company showed it had about $7 billion on the balance sheet. That's about $13 billion short, of what we're talking about, just throwing this money to the victims here."
She added: "The only thing they could do is sell stocks, bonds, but there's no money for the bonds right now."
The thing is, BP reportedly has at least $1.35 trillion worth of proven oil reserves. From a June 15 MSNBC.com article [3] headlined "BP faces huge tab, has deep pockets":
BP also holds $6.8 billion in cash and short-term investments, which it could tap to pay for Gulf spill expenses. But that number is dwarfed by the rest of the company's financial resources.
Even if all of BP's future profits went to pay for the Gulf spill, the company still owns vast resources of oil reserves that could be converted into cash by selling them to another oil company.
According to estimates from bond rating agency Moody's, BP has total proven reserves of roughly 18 billion barrels of oil in the ground, worth some $1.35 trillion at the current price of $75 a barrel. It also has a string of new fields due to move into production over the next few years, including other wells in the Gulf, along with finds in Azerbaijan, Angola, Egypt and Indonesia.
So Fox has now defended the oil giant by criticizing [4] Obama for "demonizing BP," slammed [5] the administration's moratorium on new offshore drilling despite a lack of spill response plans, and even called [6] the escrow account proposal "Chavez-like." Now they want you to think that Obama's push for BP to pay to clean up their mess will put them in the poor house.

Hi folks,
I've just got to the stage where I'd like to start doing some Jui-Jitsu. (I do muay thai and will keep that up, but quite fancy working on some ground stuff).
I know where I'm going to do it, but I've just been looking at gis and they all seem to be between £70-90!
Anyone know where I can get one on the cheap? I will buy a better one eventually but £££ is a bit tight at the moment.
Cheers for any pointers!
If I'm stupid to be looking for cheap ones for any reason please let me know and I'll start saving!

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
Did he have any back or pelvic injuries in the accident?
Does he have sensation with his penis?
Does he have any loss of control over bowel motions?
What sort of volumes does he pass when he passes urine without warning?
Thanks for the extra information.
There are some things that need to be ruled out which hopefully his doctor has already considered.
The first is whether there is any spinal or root nerve damage, as there was no mention of lower pack injuries and he has sensation of the penis complete with control of BM's then I think we can rule this out.
The next is whether there is any infection. You mention normal volume and you do not mention anything significant about the urine such as strong color or odor however if a sample has not been tested recently for infection then this should be arranged. If the penis is very tender then an examination and swab may be required to rule out a local infection.
Concentrated urine can also cause irritation of the badder and this should be avoided by drinking plenty of water, however as urine volumes are normal rather than small amounts then concentration most likely is not a cause.
That leaves us with a post-catheter situation. It can take some time to retrain the bladder after having had an indwelling catheter.
One way to help is to work on the muscles that are involved in urination. The pelvic floor muscles are strengthened with Kegel exercises. This website is used by mens with incontinence and ejaculation problems however it explains the process in easy steps: here
If there is no improvement with the medication and exercises then he should see a urologist and he may need some investigations into bladder capacity and flow control. A physiotherapist with special interest in urology can also help with bladder exercises to encourage bladder and signals for urination. This is a slow process but he should see some improvement after a while. He is still early days after his injuries so try to take each day as it comes. Modern pads are much more discrete and should give him some confidence to get out and about in the meantime.

Problem with water/ice on GE Frigerator
Model: TFX24ZRS
Over the weekend, I hooked this frig up to a water supply line after not using the water or ice maker for the past year. Foolishly, I didn't test the water, I just assumed it would be working. After several hours, it had made very little ice. After seeing this, I tested the water dispenser and barely got a drible. I perceded to try and get water for a couple of minutes assuming that there may be air in the line but it's delivery never improved.
During my attempts to get water, one time it started following at a full rate, just as you would want (For approximately 3 seconds) then I heard some clunking noises from the back of the frig and it went back to a drible.
I disconnected the supply line and turned the water on with no issues, it is pumping plenty of water.
Does anyone have any thoughts as to my problem could be? I would appreciate some help trying to diagnose potencial issues. Thank you for your help.
Solinoid valve! Unplug ref. before you touch it some are line voltage. Some have a screen you can clean but they're pretty easy to replace.If you wanna go hi-tech, tap it a couple times with the handle of a screwdriver it may free up.
Thanks for the advice. I ended up replacing the valve and it's working properly now.

City Council ends 'turban ban'
The City Council passed a measure this afternoon that changes the way employers can use exemptions for employees' religious observance, ending a so-called 'turban ban' in the New York City Police Department.
Currently, employers can declare the accommodation of a religious practice or expression to be a hardship, allowing them to deny employment or positions. The new law will raise the bar for what is considered a hardship, giving religious individuals more protections and forcing employers to try harder to find accommodations.
"The point of this bill is to make sure that, in the five boroughs, people who have particular requirements, as it relates to their religious observance…have the legal ability to do that in work," Quinn said in a press conference before the vote. The bill covers religious practices, such as prayer, as well as the need to take time off or wear religiously mandated clothing.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and Councilman Mark Weprin of Queens held a press conference today before the vote. The legislation amends the city's human rights law to be, as Quinn put it, "the most powerful and empowered human rights law it can possibly be."
Weprin, whose district in Queens is home to a large Sikh community, said the religious group's struggles with the MTA and New York Police Department highlighted the need for the legislation. "We had a lot of people say that they're not comfortable going to work for a city agency or other places if their religious belief says they have to wear a turban or a beard," Weprin said. "I personally feel that should be honored."
Both Quinn and Weprin acknowledged that the law does take into consideration working conditions that require specific practices or clothing—Weprin used firefighter's helmets as an example—that will likely meet the higher threshold.
Amardeep Singh, the co-founder of the Sikh Coalition, praised the legislation for making it "nearly impossible for an employer to make the false choice between a job they're qualified for and their faith." He said the law went beyond his community's difficulties with city agencies, pointing to similar difficulties practicing Muslims face honoring their religious requirements in the work place
As the tenth anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks approaches, Singh said that, while the legislation wasn't directly related to the discrimination Sikh's have faced over the past decade, it was welcome news.
"Given the Sikh community's experience in New York City since 9/11 it's really tough not to think about the anniversary and this not being a nice present to the community, even if that wasn't the intention," he said. "This is a way of closing the loop on that issue."

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Zucchini slices are highly perishable and cannot be kept at near 0 degrees C to maintain quality because of their susceptibility to chilling injury. Calcium treatment and low oxygen atmosphere have been shown to be beneficial in maintaining quality of some fresh-cut products, thus these two treatments were evaluated for maintaining the quality of zucchini slices. A 0.25 percent oxygen atmosphere reduced respiration rate, ethylene production, deterioration, and microbial count and maintained the texture force and vitamin C content of slices held at 10 degrees C. Calcium treatment itself was beneficial, but had no additive effect when slices were held in low oxygen atmosphere; so if the indusstry wants to lower the oxygen atmosphere down to 0.25 percent, calcium treatment is not necessary.
Technical Abstract: Calcium chloride treated or nontreated zucchini squash slices were stored in air or low O2 (0.25, 0.5 and 1 percent) at 10 degrees C. Respiration rate, ethylene production, and development of browning/decay were reduced under low O2. Slices stored under 0.25 percent O2 had less weight loss and browning/decay, and greater shear force and L-ascorbic acid content than those held in air. Microbial count, pH, and color were affected desirably by the low O2 at the end of storage. Calcium treatment had no additive effect on maintaining the quality of zucchini squash slices stored in 0.25 percent O2 atmosphere.

Ultimate Achievement Guide
Keep On Truckin' - 10
Win a Craftsman Truck Series race.
Under Race Now, using the Craftsman Truck series, choose any track, race,length, computer opponent difficulty, damage, collision, and flag settings. However, you will need to have a full field of 35 other trucks. I found Bristol the easiest track to get a quick win. Just keep the gas down the whole time and ride up along the walls in the corners. With collisions off you'll just fly right by (or right through) opponents. Get 1st place. Simple
National Hero - 10
Win a NASCAR National Series race.
Same as the truck race but use the Nascar National Series. Must have full field of 42 other cars.
Custom Car Creator - 10
Complete a Custom Car for all racing series.
Under My Nascar, then Create a Car, finish customizing a car's paint scheme for each of the 4 series. Change one thing (i.e. number) and exit. Rinse and repeat for the remaining series.
Badge Of Honor - 10
Complete a Driver Badge.
See "We Don't Need No Badges!"
Heavy Medal - 10
Win a Medal in "The Chase" Mode.
Play Chase mode and complete one license challenge. Simply get a Bronze on any challenge to unlock the achievement. Challenges range from maintaining a certain mph, overtaking cars, and staying in the draft.
We're Talkin' About Practice - 10
Record a Lap in Toyota "Test and Tune" Mode.
Under Race Modes, and Toyota Racing, go into Test and Tune and complete 1 full lap.
Trade Your Setup - 10
Upload a Car Setup to EA Locker.
Simply go to Race Now, pick any race, and before race starts, select car setup, don't change anything and just save the setup. Go online and visit the EA Locker. Upload your setup to the "locker" and achievement will unlock. Note: You will also unlock "Craftsman Tools Reward" achievement doing this.
3 Wide - 10
Earn Three Gold Medals in "The Chase" Mode.
Earn 3 Gold medals on any of the License tests. The easiest ones are Pitting strategy (must pit once and finish in 1st. Easy when you pit before the other cars and lap them) Slingshot a certain amount of cars (use the Draft until Slingshot appears on your HUD and pass the car), Wreck avoidance (these are quick to retry if you fail to maneuver through the messy wreck). The different tracks have many of the same challenges, so find ones you're good at it and complete them on the various track types.
Today Or Tomorrow? - 10
Win a NASCAR Car of Tomorrow race.
Same as the truck or National series win, but in a Nextel Cup Car of Tomorrow race. Once again, must have full field of 42 other cars.
Play It Again, Sam - 10
Save a Race Replay.
Really simple. Go to Race Now and start any race. Begin race, pause and select Save Replay. Done.
Chase For The Cup - 25
Win a Championship in Season Mode using the Car of Tomorrow Series Full Schedule.
Go to Race Modes and select Season mode. Pick the COT series and select 11 or more AI drivers, any race length, no damage, no pit stops. Pick Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart, or Jeff Gordon as they win the most races and simulate the whole season up to the last race. Hopefully you'll have the points lead, or very close. Race the last race (Homestead-Miami) to make up any points to ensure you win the championship. You can check the points standings throughout the season and if it's not to your liking, pick another superstar driver above, start a new season, and try again.
Earn Your Stripes - 25
Earn a License in "The Chase" Mode.
Complete one entire set of challenges in any license with a bronze or better. Bronze is like an easy mode and it is not too hard to complete all the given challenges, just time consuming.
Independent Contractor -25
Earn a Contract in "The Chase" Mode.
Every time a license is completed, you will be given a new contract. Complete the contract by meeting each race's requirements to unlock the achievement. The first contract is the easiest and shortest. Two superspeedway races and you get to start from up front.
Online Horsepower - 25
Win an Online Race.
Does not have to be online with other human players in the traditional sense. Just go to Create session, choose non-ranked and make it a Private match. Set the total number of players (human) to the minimum of 2. Pick any series and track you're comfortable with winning at. Bristol being the easiest with damage, collisions, and flags off and just skimming the outside walls. Select the minimum length of 3% and at least 2 computer opponents at easy difficulty. Create the session, start the race against the 2 A.I. drivers and win.
Licensed To Drive - 25
Complete all Licenses in "The Chase" Mode.
Under the Chase Mode, finish all 6 licenses with a bronze or better. Five of the licenses have 10 challenges each and the sixth license has 5 challenges. It's not hard to obtain Bronze on all of them, it just takes time, so be patient. Some of the challenges include Slingshot passes, Completing quick laps, staying in the draft, avoiding wrecks, following the racing line, etc. On the pitting strategy challenges you need to pit once during the race and finish at or above the specified position. Just make sure you try to pit before the rest of the field. It's not essential but does make it a bit easier. Doing that allows you cruise on by while they are in their pit stalls to 1st place with only a couple laps left. For the Overtake and Slingshot challenges at the superspeedways, it's imperative to use the draft to catch up to the opponenents and make the passes you need to complete it. And lastly, on the Wreck Avoidance challenges, while getting golds are not too difficult, obtaining a bronze is easy as pie. They allow you an unusually large amount of time to slide on by the big wreck. So just hit your brakes shortly before or right when the wreck happens and pick an opening to slip through slowly.
Craftsman Tools Reward - 50
Save a Craftsman Tools Car Setup at any Track.
Simply go to Race Now, pick any race, and before race starts, select car setup, don't change anything and just save the setup. No adjustments needed.
Toyota Reward - 50
Complete all Toyota Challenges.
Go to Race Modes, Toyota Racing, then Challenges. This is just like completing one license in Chase mode. There are 10 challenges to complete (maintaining a minimum speed, completing a quick lap, avoiding a wreck, staying in the draft, overtaking a certain amount of cars, staying in the racing line, completing a race near the top using 1 pit stop, and position challenge) Complete all of them
with a bronze (easy) or better. All of the challenges are also in Licenses so you should be familiar with all of them. 15 to 30 minute tops to complete them all. Unfortunately, there is no reward except for pride for beating them on anything higher than bronze.
Sprint Reward - 75
Win a NEXTEL Cup in Season Mode using the NEXTEL Cup Series '07 Schedule.
Same as "Chase for the Cup" achievement except use the Nextel Cup Series and use the '07 Schedule.
Full Throttle - 100
Complete a 100% Length Race in Race Now or Season Mode.
Two ways to do this. The quickest way is to select any series in Race Now and a Talladega race with no collisions or damage and only yellow flags. Rubberband the left trigger (brake) and at the start and every restart you will draw a caution and eat up 4 laps. Be sure not to yellow flag the last couple laps and instead finish them like normal because if you yellow flag to the end your car will keep going around the track at caution speed and you will have to quit out and you will get credit for the mileage but not the completed race. Using a Nextel Cup or COT car this will take 30 to 35 minutes to complete 188 laps. A Talladega race at 100% provides the least amount of laps because the track is the longest. Alternatively, if you have a plug & play kit to prevent the wireless controller from turning off or a wired controller, go to Race Now, select any series (although the truck series are the shortest) and pick Bristol 100% race length. No pit stops, no damage, no collisions, no flags, and 2+ computer opponents. Rubberband the RT (gas) and rubberband the left stick in an up/right position so it will bounce off the walls of Bristol, if your not getting the speed you want to be in 1st place move the stick to the up position a little more. It will move off the wall a little bit during the straightaways but bounce back to the outside wall on the turns. Doing this with the Nextel Cup car series it took me 2 hours and 28 minutes, 2:20, and 2:17 respectively to complete the race. Leave the game sit and come back around 2 to 2 and a half hours. Achievement will unlock on the final screen showed before you quit out. I've had a couple times where I let it sit too long and at the final post-race screen before coming back to it and it did not count the race, mileage, etc. So be sure to be around at the finish and exit normal. Also, both of these methods especially yellow flagging at Talladega really boost your mileage for...the Cross Country achievement
Cross Country - 100
Drive 5,000 Total Miles.
Drive a total of 5000 miles in online or offline play. Race Now races, practice, and Chase Mode's Owner Season races will count toward your mileage. Toyota testing, Licenses, and contracts do not. The fastest and easiest to rack up mileage is by using the Talladega yellow flagging method above. You can complete 500 miles in 30 to 35 minutes. So about 5 hours. And you do not have to race the last few laps. If you let it yellow flag all the way to the end, your car will drive alone forever but just hit start and exit and you will get credit for the mileage. Using the Bristol wall-riding method it would likely take 40+ hours. Either way will work though. You can check your total by going to My Nascar and game progress.

Pay The Bills - 100
Complete all Contracts in "The Chase" Mode.
First, you must complete all the licenses to unlock all the contracts. There are 6 total teams to race for and 26 total contracts. The first three team contracts (superspeedway, speedway, and short track) are not difficult. Usually you start near the front, the opponents are a quite easy, and the races are short in length. The fourth contract for Ginn Racing can pose some problems because they are 1 mile tracks that require going into the turns slow and getting good acceleration out of the turn is key. It is easy to try to push it and go through the turn fast but you will eat up your tires and it will slow you down over time and force you to pit to get a fresh set of tires. The next set, 2 road courses, require the smooth driving skills you would expect but more so, is the pit strategy. Try to draw 2 to 3 cautions before racing for real and pay attention to the pack. If they pit on one of those cautions, pause and restart the race because you will want to be able to finish the race without having to pit while the rest of the field will. When you pass them by the pits be sure to try to race semi-decent because if you lose your concentration for a second and go into a turn too hard you can spinout and have them catch up to you, destroying the pit strategy chance. By far the hardest of the contracts is the final superspeedway ones. It is nearly impossible to get into front unless you are the smoothest turning and can draft an entire race. So for the 4 races, if you follow the strategy below and never, NEVER pit (it is not a requirement, only a recommendation under normal circumstances) you should pass them all on your first or second try. It makes the rest of the cars pit without you having to, essentially making you slide right past them while they get fuel and tires. To bring out the yellow flag and not the black flag, at the start of the race slowly pull aside letting the pack drive by you without contact, then hold LT (brake) to go in reverse. The yellow flag will be called. At every restart you will be in the back, so just go in reverse right where you are.
First race (Daytona) - Only bring out 2 cautions then race.
Second race (Talladega) - The trickiest one of them all. If you do 3 cautions you will run out of gas on the last lap. At 4 cautions they might pit early or on a couple instances, not pit at all, but it is your best chance. I did 4 yellows, raced, then with 2 laps left, drew a caution, forcing it to overtime and them to the pits to fill up on gas. Leaving me with 2 laps left and in 1st place.
Third race (Daytona) - Do 3 cautions then race.
Fourth race (Talladega) - Do 6 cautions and at each restart drive foward a bit until you barely cross the finish line to add another lap then bring out the yellow because you will sneak by on fuel in this one.
(Thanks syke213 for the DEI tips)

Go to Race Now, select the race you need to beat and select 3%, easy A.I., no collisions, damage, or flags. Pretty easy to do by wall-riding the short tracks. For larger tracks and road courses, just keep your wits about you. The A.I. is easy, you could try to qualify to get near the front, or even enter options while racing and under Gameplay settings, get assisted braking (meaning the computer will brake for you around turns) Not very hard with some practice.
Finish Top 5 or 10:
You'll get these as you're trying to win at the track above and for the remaining just enter Bristol wall-riding mode from the "Full Throttle" description. Note: a Bristol race at 3% takes about 6 to 7 minutes so don't stray too far.
Slingshot Pass:
Easiest to do on a superspeedway or larger speedway. Just get behind someone (draft) until the words slingshot appear in the bottom-left of your HUD and pass them. Must say slingshot to count.
Total Wins:
Will obtain by winning at the tracks you need and also Bristol wall-riding (wall riding also works for just about every track except superspeedways and road courses)
Spin Recovery:
This will accrue at a fast rate and all by itself when rubberbanding and wall-riding at Bristol.
Lead a Lap:
Again, Bristol. You'll get the lead by good rubberband placement and stay ahead. Also, Martinsville is good short track for wall-riding. Set it for a longer race if you want to knock out a bunch of laps.
Stay In Draft:
This requires actual play. Race on a superspeedway at 3 or 5% length and draft behind the A.I. driver for a few seconds, change lanes, draft behind another guy a few seconds. You can easily get 15 in a 10 lap race with practice. Be steady.
Gain 5, 10, or 15 spots:
Easiest at Martinsville. Set it for any length, because you won't need to finish it. It will take about 5 seconds. Just wall-ride around the first turn and before you even get to turn 2 you should be in the top 5 already, granted you started from the middle of the pack. Hence 15 spots. Once you get 5, 10, 15 spots up, pause and quit. It counts it.
Pass A.I. Cleanly:
You will get this at Bristol or Martinsville by wall-riding on it's own but make sure you have collisions on or it won't count!
Take the Lead:
On the final badge, you'll get this one. Easy though. Just get to the front at Martinsville (easier) or Bristol and exchange 1st and 2nd positions over and over. You can back and forth all day, quit out and it will count.

Chase Champion - 100
Win a NEXTEL Cup in "The Chase" Mode.
First you must finish all the licenses and contracts. Then enter owner mode and finish the season in first place, using any settings. Collisions can not be toggled and will be in full effect. There are 36 total races and by the time you reach race 26 the Chase for the Cup starts. Make sure you are in the top 12 in standings by the time you reach it or you have no chance of winning the championship. Use 3% race length to get through the season the fastest as you can not simulate any of the races and must race them all. Use wall-riding techniques and with easy A.I. opponents it should not be difficult at all. The achievement will pop up right after the race is over, at the Chase for the Cup standings.
All Or Nothing - 100
Reach 100% Game Progress.
You must complete all modes of play including the Toyota Challenges, Licenses, Contracts, Driver Badges, and a full season in Chase mode. After doing everything, you will be at 98% completion and you need to press RB at season mode screen to advance the season to the next, then just exit and it will autosave. Chase progress should say 100% and lastly go to My Nascar then Game Progress. Once you're at the stats screen, it will say 100% and achievement unlocked.

Thanks I'm glad I could help. It was brought to my attention so I added to my guide how to bring out a yellow flag and not a black flag in the contract races. I mean if you race wreckless and try to spin someone out to cause the yellow you'll get black flagged. The easiest way I found was to SLOWLY pull aside to the left (towards grassy area) and let the pack drive by you to avoid contact with them, then go in reverse. The officials don't like cars going backward I guess so they'll call the yellow. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or questions, feel free to send me a message or just post here.

Here's how I beat the last Talladega race; I tried the listed methods, but I kind of combined them.
Use the reverse yellow flag to get yourself to lap 28. I didn't advance a lap at each green flag, I simply hit reverse the second I started racing. I did take the lead when everyone else pitted during Lap 12, but as Lap 29 began, I was still in last place (which is key - it's impossible to hang onto the lead for 10 laps if you're given it). I raced until Lap 33 (I was about 25 seconds behind the leader). As I hit Lap 32, I yellow flagged again. I was still in last place, but the cars did begin pitting on Lap 36. The key, I think, is patience. I tried the "advance a lap" trick, but they didn't seem to run out of gas or pit when I began from last place on Lap 29. Also, I tried racing from Lap 25 on, but even when I was coasting across the line to advance a lap, I ran out of gas on the last lap.

Interesting. Obviously they are trying look at how suspicious we are of blacks compared to whites. Are we quicker to pull the trigger on blacks and slower to holster on them as well? Actually I was slower to both shoot and holster on blacks. I think that has more to do with the color of the guns I was mentally checking for (black) and that for a black person it was harder to discern if there was a gun or not (black gun held by a black hand).
Or is it just me?

i would bet a case of beer that this is being used to study the difference between reactions to the races.
based on the numbers, it does look like we are all a little bit subconsciously biased against black people... we are quicker to shoot them and it takes us longer to figure out that they are not a threat.
interesting, but far from conclusive, even if they collect a massive amount of data. not knowing anything about demographics of the study participants makes it not worth a whole lot.
Their program's lag time in putting pictures up is a confounder.
I tried hitting the shoot button as soon as the picture changed, and it still claimed I was taking half a second. Poor programing.

I am trying to figure out what an acceptable wheel offset is for an Opel GT. I have read on this site that the stock Opel GT Rims are 13 x 5, ET25.
I recently bought a 1973 parts car with "73 Ralley" wheels, 3 of the wheels are stamped "GT" and one is stamped "WAGON". The "WAGON" stamped Wheel is marked 13x5 ET37. The wheels all measure the same.
Here are my questions:
-Did the GT come with ET37 offset wheels, at least in 1973?
-Do you want to adjust offset to match the backspace if you are changing rim width? How much can you change it w/o effecting suspension geometry?

Before the era of recorded music and radio, nearly every community had a band that played at parades and other civic events. Fire departments had bands, military units had bands, theaters had bands. Band music was everywhere.
One Hundred Years of Caring -- EMMC
In 1892 five physicians -- William H. Simmons, William C. Mason, Walter H. Hunt, Everett T. Nealey, and William E. Baxter -- realized the need for a hospital in the city of Bangor had become urgent and they set about providing one.
These stories -- that stretch from 1999 back to 1759 -- take you from an amusement park to the halls of Congress. There are inventors, artists, showmen, a railway agent, a man whose civic endeavors helped shape Portland, a man devoted to the pursuit of peace and one known for his military exploits, Maine's first novelist, a woman who recorded everyday life in detail, and an Indian who survived a British attack.

Today marks thirty years of employment with the Department of Health as a public health microbiologist.
Hard to believe I started on a two week Christmas vacation fill-in. Only two of us wanted to do the two week placement when offered it during our exams. The others all wanted a break. Finished the exams on the Friday and went into the job on the Monday.
Had a good time and they apparently liked me as at the end of the two weeks they said to come back the next Monday!
I went for an actual interview in April the following year and got a permanent position.
Suddenly in the July they realised that I had not had my medical so I rock off to that and now I have to confess a guilty secret.
I have lied on a government form.
They measured me and told me I was five foot tall. Being an honest person I said "No I am 4 foot 10 and a quarter inches (hey that quarter is important!)"
"No you are five foot"
"No I'm not"
"Look do you want the job or not?"
"Yes I do"
"Then you are five foot tall now sign this form"
And I did. In the 1980s the Queensland Health Department still had a height restriction. Females had to be five foot plus to be employed.
So my thirty years might not have happened for the sake of an inch and three quarters.
How many of your ancestors worked thirty years for the same employer?
I have a few who have worked for the railway and some government departments. Many others have worked in the same occupation such as being agricultural labourers, granite quarrymen, shoemakers etc.

MyHeritage adds 37 millions pages from books to collection
The below press release is from MyHeritage
Huge Free Collection of Digitized Books Now Available on MyHeritage!We've just added an exciting new collection to MyHeritage SuperSearch™, containing over 37 million pages in 150,000 books relevant to family history!
Search Compilation of Published Sources now
The new collection includes tens of thousands of digitized historical books, with actual images of the books' pages, and all their text extracted using Optical Character Recognition. The books span the last four centuries and include family, local and military histories, city and county directories, school and university yearbooks, church and congregational minutes and much more. A vast amount of rich data from diverse publications makes this collection a fantastic source of rare genealogical gems, providing insight into the lives of our ancestors and relatives.
We've added this collection using a new process that adds approximately 250 million pages to SuperSearch™ per year, utilizing a team of 40 curators. The curators examine each digitized book for relevance to family history research, and enhance its meta data if they decide to include it. The collection is sourced from various published texts that are copyright-free, and will be updated from now on several times each year.
The Compilation of Published Sources collection is located in SuperSearch™ under Books & Publications and is free to access. Easily search the collection by any of the following: first name, last name, publication title, publication date, publication place, or keywords.

Thank you to all the Volunteers!
International Volunteer Day
The United Nations (UN) annually observes the International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development on December 5.
The day, also known as International Volunteer Day, gives us the chance to thank the volunteers for all the their contributions.
So much of what happens in family and local history societies is done by volunteers. In fact without them very few societies would be able to open their doors at all.
Some of these are done with images being sent by email or people transcribing documents such as the Will Transcription project being done by the Oxfordshire Family History Society where they have put online transcribed wills searchable by name and place.
Others are done online such as the Queensland State Library: PitchIn project which is digitising and tagging historical Queensland documents.There are other opportunities like this where you could help with West Australian transcription & indexing projects :: http://www.virtualvolunteering.com.au
Of course, FamilySearch is the best known of the online family history indexing projects where individuals or groups can go online and index documents. They are setting up a new indexing platform which will allow you to index using your iPad or Android tablets. The below graphic was taken from the FamilySearch site today showing what can be done by many volunteers around the world. That is 102, 786, 912 million records indexed by volunteers!
They are indexing many non-English language records so if you are clever enough (unfortunately I am not) why not index another language thereby making those records accessible to all too.
There are a number of very special records too such as the Freedmen's Bureau Project which currently has 10, 000 volunteers who have indexed online around 15% of the records. This will be a fantastic resource for African American research.
With 521 current open projects there is sure to be something which you would find interesting.
I think of volunteering as giving back, paying forward some kindness and in today's troubled world any kindness shared around can make life just that much brighter.
The joys of modern communication and computers means we can all give back.
Trove the so superlative FREE, yes I said FREE Australian newspaper digitisation site also has wonderful volunteers that correct the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) text. The computer has done a varying job in recognising the characters. Many wonderful volunteers spend time correcting the test so that you are able to find that entry when you search.
My hat is doffed to John Warren the top ranker in the Hall of Fame for doing over 3 and a half million lines of corrections! (I have only managed 24, 736 lines corrected but I do try and stay in the top 1000 preferably in the top 900 depending on other commitments.)
There are so many wonderful volunteers and also so many projects that we would all dearly love to see completed.
Today on the International day of Volunteers pause for a moment to say thank you.
Then think for another about how you might be able to help. So many of these indexing projects can be done at your computer in the comfort of your home. What projects does your society have happening or are considering?

It might go against conventional wisdom, but a new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project is adding fuel to the argument that young people are fast becoming the gurus of online reputation management, especially when it comes to social networking sites. Among other things, the study found that they are most likely to limit personal information online and the least likely to trust free online services ranging from Facebook to LinkedIn and MySpace.
Marlene McManus, 21, is among those young adults. On the job hunt since graduating from Clark University in Massachusetts, she's been "scouring" her Facebook page, removing photos that contain beer cups and any other signs of college exploits. She's also dropped Twitter altogether. "I have to present a public face that doesn't have the potential to hurt my image," McManus says.

Cedar Key, Florida -- The town of Cedar Key raised more than 12-hundred dollars for prom at the Cedar Key School, which takes place this Saturday.
Every year juniors at Cedar Key School raise money to decorate prom for the seniors.
The seafood and art festivals that the students generate funds from every year wasn't as successful as years prior.
Last week Sue Colson along with residents of the town and the Chamber of Commerce went door to door and business to business asking for lumber and money.
Colson says this almost disaster turned into a great story because of the city's support.
Sue Colson, grandmother of CKS student: "It's so heartening to know you can put it out there.. When there's an emergency everyone chips in."
Cedar key is still accepting donations until tomorrow.
