Sorry forgot the link!
I did a tut for the Themeforest Blog a while back – wondered if I'm allowed to gloss this up and sell it here on the new marketplace?
Be great if so.
Hi jeffeatworld, that's a good question. The short answer is yes The long answer is that you'd have to sufficiently update and add more depth to the tutorial that it was, in truth, a different more in-depth tutorial but based around the same concept. From our perspective, you can see how we can't sell something that is essentially available for free elsewhere. So you'd need to really expand upon that tutorial and turn it into something new.
Cheers – I thought along those lines too, seems a bit of a sell out if you could just submit something that's free to get from the blog lol.
Thanks though, because now I know I'm going to go ahead and build on it – add value so to speak. Not only that, I got some really valuable feedback from the comments so it'll be good to give those a run through.
Is there some sort of requests for tutorials thread?
There certainly is

Date Changes for SFA Field Trip
Mark your calendars! The new dates for the SFA field trip to New Orleans are July 7-10. Please note that this date differs from the date advertised on member renewal cards. We had to change our plans so as not to get squeezed out by another big convention that booked the city on our dates. The result? Better hotel rates for all of us! SFA members will stay at the International House for the summer event, and registrants will be offered a confirmation code to use when calling to book a room.

Minus5 Ice Bar Opens in Orlando
Posted on May 27, 2014
A Minus5 Ice Bar has opened in Orlando. This is the fourth location for the ice bar brand, which also has bars in New York City and Las Vegas. Everything in the bars are made of ice, including the bar, tables, sculptures and glasses. The Orlando location include iconic Florida images as decor, including hand-carved palm trees, penguins and space shuttles. There is also a wall that features a variety of frozen sea creatures.
Minus5 President Noel Bowman says in a statement, "We are so excited to be in Orlando and can't wait to start meeting the locals, tourists and conventioneers that visit Pointe Orlando each year. This is really a beautiful venue and a great space for corporate functions. The quality and ice craftsmanship that has gone into making Minus5 Ice Bar Orlando a frozen work of art is truly phenomenal."
Here is a timelapse video of the ice bar being constructed. Take a look:

This is a sincere question, since I am kinda new. Are you looking for an intermediate eye relief scope, for use in a scout configuration?
If so, I have had zero problems with the Leupold mounted on my Steyr Scout. I believe it is the FX-II, 2.5x28. The eye relief on it is 9"-17". In the same price range is the Burris Scout Scope, 2.75x20. The eye relief is 8.5"-14".
Product reviews on Midway show they are rated about the same by users, as would be expected.
I saw two on e-bay,both are long eye relief scout rifle scopes.
NcStar 2.5x30mm and a NcStar 4x32mm.
Did not know if these are any good.I'm new to shooting with a scope,only used iron sights before.
14.4" eye relief for the 4x32mm
10.45" eye relief for the 2.5x30mm
Thanks for any input or opinions.
Pistol scopes generally have long eye relief, maybe that's the way to go.Is the reason to get ahead of a straight bolt? Maybe the thing to do is get the bolt handle changed on the rifle to clear the scope.Or are you using one of the ATI full length rail stocks?

Yes I am trying to clear the bolt handle without having to modify the bolt handle but may do that anyway and not use the long eye relief scope.Still have not decided.Thanks for the info.
With NcStars you get exactly what you pay for. Send me the money instead, I'll have more fun with it than you will with one of those scopes!Originally Posted by Kilt man

So Many Add-ons, So Little Time
In December, Google finally released a repository of extensions for Google Chrome. Chrome extensions numbered at more than 300 on launch day. As a beta project, extensions come with a few caveats from Google. For the moment, Google is only supporting extensions in its latest beta version of Chrome, so if you prefer the official, stable browser, you'll have to forgo add-on tools for now. Interestingly, the version of Chrome that supports extensions, dubbed "the Beta Channel" version, is only available on XP and Vista, not Windows 7, though Google has promised that extensions will soon be available for Google's new Mac version of Chrome, too.
In the meantime, Google Subnet blogger Julie Bort has scoured the extension library to come up with the ones that she thinks will boost your productivity at work. But she couldn't stop there. She added a few that are just plain fun, too.

NBC couldn't have worse timing.
The Peacock network, home to great series like "The Office," "Heroes" and "Friday Night Lights," cut itself off from iTunes earlier this month in a move that is sure to hurt NBC much more than it will Apple, which owns the downloadable music and video service.
The decision to pull out became a very bitter and public fight.
Apple claimed it severed the deal with NBC after the network wanted to "more than double the wholesale price for each NBC TV episode," forcing Apple to raise the price of each episode to $4.99. Currently, they're $1.99 per episode on iTunes.
Meanwhile, NBC fired back at Apple, claiming it just wanted more flexibility in wholesale pricing and in the way shows were packaged for sale.
It's the most bone-headed move a television network can make right now.
For one thing, NBC pulled out of its contract with Apple a week before the introduction of a whole new lineup of iPods, including the new iPod "touch," which has a 3.5-inch-wide screen perfect for viewing video.
Between now and Christmas, sales of the new iPods likely will go through the roof with new versions of the digital player geared specifically for video watching. That many more people will be ready to buy new episodes of their favorite shows.
It also doesn't help that this deal went sour just before the start of the fall TV season, when millions will be turning to iTunes to get episodes of new shows.
Finally, NBC, which is in fourth place in the ratings, needs iTunes to drum up interest in its series.
Many credit the success of "The Office" on iTunes for giving that sitcom a leg up on television. The service gives extra visibility to shows like "Friday Night Lights" or "30 Rock," which need the exposure if they are to survive another season.
Just how popular is the Apple service? It's the third-biggest seller of music in the U.S. after Wal-Mart and Best Buy, according to Apple, and sells more than Target or Amazon.com.
I tend to believe Apple's explanation for the break over NBC's.
Apple has insisted on keeping the pricing on iTunes the same - songs for 99 cents and episodes for $1.99.
But NBC, like all the other television networks, doesn't understand why downloadable content is going to change the face of TV. They just want to make money off it.
For viewers seeking more ways to catch their favorite series, not having access to NBC series just makes that quest more frustrating.

Support Women Artists Sunday: Polly Scattergood
Polly Scattergood (born 1987, Colchester, Essex, England), is a British singer-songwriter. She has been described as ethereal, dark, intense and quirky, while her musical style has been described as "early 21st century electro-dance-pop of London proper". Scattergood's debut album, self-titled, was released in spring 2009 in the United Kingdom and United States. Scattergood attended the Brit School where she wrote 800 songs. After graduation she caught the attention of music industry executive Neil Ferris who took on her management. Ferris then introduced Scattergood to Daniel Miller head of Mute Records. He led her to her current producer Simon Fisher Turner. Scattergood describes herself as a storyteller. "I write about emotions and moments, not all are biographical."

December 16, 2009
Asif Dowla blogged about his recent White Paper examining the critical role microfinance institutions (MFIs) can play in mitigating the impact of climate change on poor people for the CGAP blog.
As the events at the Copenhagen summit on climate change continue to unfold this week, I think it is important that we look at the relationship between climate change and microfinance.
The microfinance industry has been almost silent about climate change. Even in Bangladesh, where microfinance institutions (MFIs) provide services to more than 30 million households, the industry did not actively participate in the National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA), which helps less developed countries identify priority activities for responding to climate change.
Nonsense, you are attributing powers to a trace gas, CO2, that is insignificant by definition and a poor absorber of IR energy from the sun compared to water vapor that has 200 times as many molcules with each absorbing seven times as much energy for a net effect more than 1400 times that of CO2! Or you can say "Water vapor is responsible for 99.9% of all atmospheric heating."
Carbon is 84% of all petroleum and fossil fuel. The control and taxing of carbon is the key to more political, economic taxing power than anything that has happened in 800 years, the signing of the Magna Carta. But, where that was the key to freedom for the people this is the way to the concentration of power in the wrong hands. It is just that simple. Check the science and you will see.

Do you want the good or the bad news on nasty, antibiotic-resistant infections?
We're chipper today, so we'll start with the good: Rates of invasive infections by MRSA, the infamous drug-resistant staph bacteria, appear to be on the decline, according to a study published in JAMA. CDC researchers looked at data covering nine metro areas over the four years ending in 2008, and found a 9.4% annual drop in infections thought to be contracted in the hospital and a 5.7% annual decline in those believed to be contracted in the community.
That lines up with recent trends in Europe, and also with another CDC study, published last year, that found a drop in the rate of infection specifically in the intensive care unit and associated with the use of central lines.
Scientists don't know exactly why this is happening, but they speculate that prevention measures taken in hospitals are contributing. "Only by improving existing surveillance and prevention research programs can clinicians and infection control researchers begin to explain why," write the authors of an editorial accompanying the study.
The bad news concerns another type of bug, called gram-negative bacteria. (Informed Patient columnist Laura Landro wrote about this threat in 2008.) A study just published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases finds that a gene giving resistance to almost all antibiotics is now commonly found in a family of gram-negative bacteria called Enterobacteriaceae from patients in India and Pakistan — as well as UK patients who went to India for elective surgery. (Here's the WSJ story.)
University of Calgary medical microbiologist Johann Pitout, who wrote the editorial accompanying the study, tells the Health Blog that bacteria with this gene are found throughout those two countries, as well as Bangladesh, but it's not clear how common they are. Nor do we know the risk of acquiring this type of infection from hospitals in those areas, or whether and how a person could transmit it back in his home country. Research on all those points is needed, he says.

I chose other. I say Cream of Nature shampoo, its very moisturizing.
That was on my do not buy list. It made my scalp itch and my hair limp. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Hyundai-Kia see 2015 sales growth weakest in 12 years
By Hyunjoo Jin
SEOUL (Reuters) - Hyundai Motor Co (005380.KS: Quote) and affiliate Kia Motors Corp (000270.KS: Quote) forecast sales this year to grow at the slowest pace since 2003, hampered by capacity constraints and a weaker yen that is likely to give Japanese rivals an edge in key markets.
Hyundai and Kia, together the world's fifth largest automaker by sales, said on Friday they aim to sell 8.2 million vehicles in 2015 - a 2.5 percent increase from a year ago and the smallest rise since 2003, when sales grew 2 percent, company data shows.
The expansion - in line with the 8.27 million average forecast of five analysts polled by Reuters - also lags the 3.9 percent increase in vehicle sales forecast for the global market for this year.
"While low growth continues for the world economy, political uncertainty grows in emerging markets and competition is intensifying among automakers," Chung Mong-koo, chairman of the family-run conglomerate, said in a statement.
Hyundai-Kia have seen sales growth slow since Chung put in place an unofficial moratorium on new factories about two years ago to focus on quality.
The duo, however, said in 2014 that they would build factories in China and Mexico to expand their overall capacity, but production from these plants will not start until later next year.
Hyundai's internal think-tank said last week it expected the competition from Japanese automakers to remain strong in 2015, especially with as the Japanese government is likely to maintain its policy of keeping the yen weak to boost exports.
Next year, Hyundai is also expected to launch revamped versions of its Tucson sport utility vehicle and the Elantra compact, models seen key to reviving sales after the lukewarm reception for its Sonata sedan. Continued...

Target: Carolyn Reidy, CEO of Simon & Schuster Inc.
Goal: Discredit anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon's misleading description of tribal people in Brazil
Anthropologist Napoleon Chagnon has studied the Yanomami people of Brazil since the 1960s. Although most scholars have updated the language they use to describe such tribal people, Chagnon continues to use racist, outdated terminology. In his latest book, he calls the Yanomami "savages," very similar to language he used in a 1968 study entitled Yanomamö: The Fierce People. This type of language is arrogant and patriarchal, not to mention harmful to the people it attempts to classify.
Chagnon has been one of few anthropologists to study the Yanomami, and one of the longest-standing scholars in his field. Anthropology students throughout the world read his work. However, Chagnon's adversaries say that he discredits and misrepresents these tribal people by calling them "warlike," especially when the US, his home country, has waged two extremely destructive wars in the Middle East over the course of the last decade.
Professionals who work closely with the Yanomami say that Chagnon's descriptions of the tribe could be used to deny its people cultural freedoms and land rights. The belief that Yanomami people are violent has prevented government support before, once in the 1970s and again in the 1990s. The Yanomami are now threatened by illegal gold miners, who may soon be allowed to legally encroach on tribal lands. Ask Chagnon's publisher to discredit his most recent book as racist and harmful to these tribal people.
Dear Ms. Reidy,
Napoleon Chagnon's most recent book, Noble Savages: My Life Among Two Dangerous Tribes—the Yanomamö and the Anthropologists, describes people of the Brazilian Yanomami culture using racist and outdated language. By qualifying these people as "warlike," "fierce," and "savage," he not only reincarnates patriarchal historical language of the past, but he also damages this tribe's ability to receive government protection from violent intruders on their lands. Furthermore, other professionals who work with the Yanomami say Chagnon's work is misleading—that these people are not violent, especially not when compared to leaders in Chagnon's home country, who seem to wage war perpetually.
The Yanomami have already been denied government protections in the 1970s and 1990s, largely due to their anthropological classification as war-mongers. Now they are threatened by intruding gold miners, who may soon receive legal right to tribal lands. Please help these people shrug off the stereotype created by Napoleon Chagnon. Discredit the language in his latest work as misleading, patriarchal, and outdated.

The mobile world is a strange place, isn't it? You have a more or less decent Android smartphone, and you know your chances of getting an update to Jelly Bean in a timely manner, at least officially, aren't very big. Meanwhile, someone with a an almost 3 year old phone, which wasn't designed to run Android in the first place, is able to install Android 4.1 and enjoy the latest software goodies. Well, what can you do? Those crafty folks over at XDA have once again managed to impress the modding community by creating such a ROM for the HD2. Sadly, the release seems to be far from perfect yet, as some important features like the camera, browser and Google Now don't work too good (or in some cases - at all), but here's to hoping that those will be worked out soon.
Users sporting low- and lower-mid end Android gear shouldn't be so pissed off to know about this. The HD2 may be an old device, but it has a nice and big screen, as well as hardware that is still more powerful compared to many Android models out there. That said, this doesn't mean that low-end devices can't run JB. They can, but the harsh reality is that manufacturers rarely bother to update such models.
You can track the progress of the mod and give it a try by visiting this XDA thread.

Service of Lawsuit and Subpoena
Service of Lawsuit
Personnel on California State University campuses lack authority to accept service of a lawsuit (i.e., a summons and complaint) upon the California State University or the campus. It makes no difference whether the lawsuit names the California State University as a defendant, or the Board of Trustees, or an individual campus.
Process servers must accomplish service at the Office of General Counsel, California State University, 401 Golden Shore, Fourth Floor, Long Beach, CA 90802-4210. For further instructions please visit the Office of General Counsel's website.
Campus presidents may accept service on their own behalves, or may refer the process server to the Office of General Counsel. Other individually named defendants in a lawsuit must be served where they are located. Process servers must never be provided with an employee's home address or other personal information. If campus personnel have any questions, they should be directed to the University Counsel.
Service of Subpoenas
In most instances, a subpoena must be personally served on the witness required to appear. A demand for the payment of witness fees should always be made at the time of service.
A subpoena for CSU business records must be served on the person with responsibility for the records, wherever the records are found. Typically, such subpoenas are addressed to a "Custodian of Records". A demand for the payment of witness fees should also always be made at the time of service of the subpoena. Student records may have certain privacy protections in the law and the student may have the desire to seek an order to quash. Please consult with University Counsel

EU-Canada trade deal delayed by agriculture dispute
By Ethan Bilby
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A dispute over how far to open agricultural markets to imports is holding up a free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union, officials familiar with the negotiations said on Tuesday.
The row could delay a deal for several weeks, the officials said, threatening European efforts to launch separate trade negotiations with the United States, which is waiting to see how far the EU will open up its markets.
"They still have a way to go. Agriculture is the big sticking point," an industry source told Reuters.
Talks on a Canadian-EU trade deal began in 2009, and an agreement would be the EU's first with a country from the G7 club of major economies and could be worth roughly $28 billion from extra economic activity.
The EU remains opposed to increasing quotas of imported beef and pork from Canada, while Ottawa does not want to allow increased imports of EU dairy products, eggs and poultry.
"Europeans can't possibly give the amount of beef the Canadians are asking for. The Canadians are much more ambitious on the beef ask," the same industry source said.
The two had hoped to conclude a deal during talks between the Canadian and EU trade ministers this week in Canada, covering issues from pharmaceutical patents to energy, but sources say that is not now possible.
While Canada is smaller than the United States, the issues under debate are similar, such as opening the EU beef market, and a Canadian deal would be a blueprint for negotiations with the Washington. Continued...


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Overview Kill stealing is extremely prominent in multi-player shooters and MMORPG's. Many times, one player will attack another player or A.I. enemy, and damage them heavily. Another player will attack the same target, do less damage overall, but is still able to inflict the final blow, getting the point or the experience. The player who attacked first feels as if their work was for nothing, and usually gets frustrated.In team games where only 2 teams are competing, kill stealing is only a minor problem. While players who had kills stolen may feel some dismay, the points still go to the team's overall score. Some games will acknowledge both players work by giving one player a kill point, and the other an assist point. Assist points are rarely added to the team score, but are used as proof of the work done by helpful players. If, however, more than two teams are in a match, a kill can be stolen from a third player not on either team of the fighting players. In free-for-all games, kill stealing can be a major problem. A stolen kill will give a player a point many will think s/he did not deserve. Some players will deliberately steal kills, so that they will get points/experience with the minimal effort, spend less ammo/magic, and face a lowered risk of danger from other players.

Valve Cover question, please Help ASAP!!
So the other day, I was replacing my valve cover gasket on my 2001 BMW 325i sedan and all went well until I was placing it back on. I ended up tightening two of the "nuts" too tight and they broke the bolt they screw onto(one is an outer bolt and the the other is a center bolt). Can they be replaced? And if so are they expensive?
advanced search titles on "valve cover stud"
A proper torque wrench is your friend. Luckily, you didn't break the valve cover.
Dealer sells new ones and they unscrew.
After you broke the first, foolish to do the second too tight. But you already know that.
There is no point in pushing these any further than when they bottom out. Forget the torque wrench.
I did the same thing. Honestly probably 15ft-lbs will crack them. Go to the dealer and pick some up. I got about 5 the bee safe in the future. Just tighten until the rubber gromet is well compressed.
Sent from my PantechP9060 using Bimmer App
I agree, of course they do.
But in this instance it is kinda pointless.
Hey guys, I need help I'm confused at this point. I replaced my valve cover gasket and let it sit for a day. The day after I drove it. After my destination, I looked under my hood and saw that it was leaking again. It was wet on a specific bolt that sits right above the O2 sensor, which leaking from there causes it to smoke really bad because it drips onto the headers/O2 sensor. Now I took it to my mechanic because he thought that I had done it wrong but when he did it(with a new gasket), he let it sit for two days. The day after I picked it up before heading to work and noticed the same thing. It was leaking from that specific bolt. The bolt is wet on top of it, which is what puzzles me. Is there too much pressure in the valve cover that is causing this or is my valve cover warped? please help me ASAP!
If someone want to use torque wrench, i wouldn't say it's wrong.
But i don't feel much need for it myself. Only if I need to really get something exceptionally tight for sure. Normally i just trust my fingers. Need to be careful with small bolts so that wouldn't brake them, and big ones can just put as tight as i can without any worries.
I use torque wrench for each DIY. Before I start any DIY, I write down all the torque values so I don't have to search for them when I am in the middle of the job.
Some experience mechanics may get away w/o using it since turning wrench is what they do for a living. This is not for every body...

Perhaps making a quick stop to check out some new art, Brad Pitt was spotted at the Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (April 11).
Looking handsome as usual, the "Fight Club" hunk sported khaki pants, a simple white tee and sunglasses as he headed out with a bag of goods on his shoulder.
Stepping out for a solo escape, Brad Pitt was spotted leaving his Los Angeles hotel on Sunday (April 6).
Sporting his typical cool-guy threads, the "World War Z" stud went out wearing a tan riding cap, tight white tee and tan pants, posing for a few pictures as he went.
Making a solo arrival in Los Angeles, Brad Pitt landed safely at LAX on Wednesday (April 2).
Dressed casually in a zip-up jacket, the "12 Years a Slave" stud sported khaki pants and matching combat boots, finishing off his look with a newsboy cap.
He seems to have a soft spot for war movies and now Brad Pitt is reportedly looking at another WWII flick.
The romantic thriller written by Steven Knight has yet to nab a director or even a title, but Deadline reports that talks are serious for the "Fight Club" star to hop on board.
Always one to make a scene with his arrivals, Brad Pitt attended the Los Angeles screening of the documentary, "Big Men" on Wednesday (March 26).
Looking cool in a summer suit, the "World War Z" stud sported a tan jacket and pants, going casual with a white tee underneath.
Taking a break from the trophy distribution, Ellen DeGeneres took a moment to take a super-star-studded selfie at the 86th Academy Awards.
As two of the biggest stars in Tinseltwon it's no surprise that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt showed up for the 86th Academy Awards at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre earlier tonight (March 2).
Reuniting with those who worked on the project before the Academy Awards on Sunday, the stars of "12 Years a Slave" attended a dinner at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood on Saturday (March 1).
Doing their usual couples thing of dressing in all black, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie stayed close to mingle with their co-workers.

|High School: It's Academic
Here's one mega-change everyone agrees on: In high school, academics get serious.
Courses, of course
If you do have a few choices in classes or electives you can take freshman year:
Buckling down
Some of the academic challenges you might face in high school include:
You're older and you're more mature, so your teachers might be expecting more of you, not just in your work but also in the way you behave in class. Even so, don't think that a teacher doesn't want you to come for help if you're struggling. Being able to recognize when you need assistance, and asking for it, is one of the surest signs of maturity!

Initial reaction to The Grey (Carnahan, 2012) was filled with pleasant critical surprise due to a compelling subtext supplementing its survival action thrills. This subtext has been described by some critics as "existential" and so -- however much that word may be bandied about these days -- I was interested in the film. To be sure, "existential" is an apt term to describe much of the film's philosophical discourse. Its existential themes are mostly evident in the narratives bookends: The Grey be … [Read more...]

The boss of the London Stock Exchange is optimistic that Chancellor George Osborne will give a significant boost to small and medium businesses in next month's Autumn Statement which will stimulate Aim, the junior stock market.
"Finally the message has got through to senior decision makers and politicians that growth can only come from creating jobs," said Xavier Rolet, chief executive of the LSE.
"Those jobs are not going to come from the public sector or from blue-chip companies but from SMEs.
"I cannot prejudge what the Chancellor will announce, but I think he understands the connection between the health of the IPO (initial public offering) market and the creation of jobs."
One boost to the Exchange would be the abolition of stamp duty on trading in Aim shares which the CBI this week calculated would cost the Exchequer just £72 million a year.
Rolet was speaking as the Exchange put out its first half-year results which showed the number of companies coming to Aim fell by 26% to 43 in the six months to September.
He said: "Aim did well in the period and the trend is definitely beginning to improve in recent months with more small IPOs."
The LSE's operating profits were flat at £217 million in the half as much improved revenues from the data service FTSE countered a 19% drop in revenues from its primary markets.
Rolet said FTSE revenues would be boosted in the second half after a number of big wins, including wooing the $170 billion (£107.16 billion) Vanguard asset manager away from rival indices group MSCI.
The interim dividend rises 4% to 9.7p a share.

Hi, so I'm of Pakistani origin however I am light skinned. I suffer from the usual; uneven skin tone on the knees, elbows and dare I say it... lower lower ahem back. Sorry! I started using this on my back however it broke me out. I used this everyday for a week until I could use no more, due to painful spots occurred by the cream. I was so so surprised to find that although this had caused a breakout, it left my skin at least three shades lighter, matching my legs! So I shelved it for a year. The spots disappeared pretty much soon after I stopped using the cream.
I have some stretchmarks on my lower... back and I thought 'would makari help?' So I brought the product back out from the dusty shelf and mixed the cream with my palmers oil. Only a tad of the cream though. I did this twice in once week and my stretchmarkd are much less noticeable. It's the only product that has ever worked wonders for me.
Warning: do not and I repeat - do NOT use this on the face or neck. You will break out. I wouldn't even take the risk. This product is extremely strong. Mix it with a moisturiser before use. About half a tea spoon of makari.

I have been using Makari products for over five years and they have worked wonderfully for most of that time. However, I have just finished two bottles of Body Milk, along with taking the Oralight supplements, and my problem areas have not lightened at all! I believe that the company has reformulated their products, and now they no longer work. I have written product feedback to them, so hopefully they will listen. I am very disappointed that I have spent good money on products that no longer work. I don't want to go back to HQ based products, so I will be searching for an alternative.

I got excited when I read all the good reviews about his product along with the fact that is was made for people of color. They said their Whitening Milk was their best product so after so many other lighteners failed me I bought a sample size that they said typically shows results in 4 weeks at the most. No change. Then it said in a few cases it could take about 3 months to start seeing results so I bought another sample before the first ran out. It's been over 4 months so far and even when I look at my test spot up close there is not the slightest change AT ALL. I'm just glad I didn't spend my money on the full bottle, would have been a waste of $50.

Overzealous exfoliation left darkened, weird streaky areas on my upper arms. Nothing too noticable, but enough to annoy me. A friend told me about this product, saying it was not meant to "whiten", just even the skin out. That was important to me - I inherited a nice amber hue from the ancestors : )
So I plunked down the thirty bucks, expecting crap.
To my surprise, this completely erased those marks WITHOUT lightening the rest of my skin.It seems to actually enhance the richness of my skin color. The smell is rose-ish with other floral notes.
I do not think this product lightens: at least not on me, but everyone is different. It evens skin tone and enhances dark beauty which has always been there.

This is a wonderful product ... it is primarily for darker skin tones (African-American, etc.), but I have found that it works great for any skin tone that has unevenness or hyperpigmentation. I am a caucasian and have some discoloration -- mild redness, freckles/spots (from my sun worshipping days), etc. and I have found that it works very well for these types of skin issues -- no matter the skin coloration. I only wish that I could find it easier, but it is available online at the Makari website (along with their other products). It takes a while for the achieve results, but it is worth the wait.
I have also tried Olay Regenerist Serum (also reviewed), which works well, but I have found this one to even better for my needs. An excellent product ...

District IV 4-H Horse Show POSTPONED to 9/17
Posted: September 9, 2011
Dear 4-H members, volunteers, and families:
This has been an exceedingly difficult week for many families in northeast PA, and our thoughts are with those of you affected by this natural disaster. On Thursday, you most likely received a phone call or an e-mail (or read on Facebook) that the District IV 4-H Horse Show (slated to be held at Alparon Park in Troy) had been postponed to Sunday, 9/11 due to flooding aftermath concerns. We did our utmost to make the best out of a bad situation and still plan a safe show that would allow youth to qualify for States in the required time frame. Now another change has occurred. We'll still hold the show, but we need to move it again. The show will be held on Saturday, September 17, at 8 a.m. at the Wyoming County Fairgrounds in Meshoppen. Let me explain why we made this very hard decision:
Linda Elsbree, Horse Program Assistant in Bradford Extension, has done an outstanding job as District Show host. She's been on the ball and has kept on top of all the details of stabling, ring maintenance, show equipment, and corresponding with the Alparon Park board. This is why it came as a surprise when Linda found out on the evening of September 8--less than three days before the rescheduled show--that a skeet shoot had been planned for the grounds near the horse ring on the new show date. No one had informed her about it due to a miscommunication between the gun club and the fairgrounds--even though she'd specifically asked about other events on 9/11 before we decided to reschedule the show. Despite her best efforts to persuade the gun club to reschedule, the skeet shoot will go on--and it will be held just across the creek that runs beside the horse ring parking lot/warm-up area. Extension Horse Specialist Pat Comerford and Extension Regional Director Dr. Mike McDavid agree that we can't safely combine a youth horse show and a skeet shoot, and we agree 100%.
State Horse Show entries and stall reservations are due soon (and can't be delayed too long if the State Show is to move forward); and as fall progresses, the days get shorter and the weather gets worse. Holding the show as soon as possible is important, but we also need a safe, suitable site that can accommodate a show of this size. Alparon Park is booked for a show on 9/17-18, and the District has already ruled out other counties as potential sites at present--especially given flooding. That leaves us with Wyoming--a site capable of accommodating the show, one that has adequate stabling, and one that many 4-H families have been to before.
Stall and camping costs are different (see the attached file), so refunds and credits will be issued at check-in. Stall and camping reservations (names only--payment will be collected at check-in) will be collected by your Extension office--you should receive a phone call asking about stalls soon. Everything else will remain the same, even the schedule. (Instead of a temp ring, we'll hold trail in the flat area we usually use in Wyoming. Showmanship classes slated for the temp ring will be held in a divided main ring, and a flat area on the grounds will be designated for warm-up space.)
One good thing about delaying the show is that it gives families time to regroup after flooding, and crews time to get roads open. We'll need all the help we can get from volunteers at the show, and we appreciate your willingness to pitch in. Thanks so much for your patience, and don't hesitate to contact Kirsten Dubbs (firstname.lastname@example.com, or 570-724-9120) with questions, scratches, or other issues.

Easter is just over a week away. And that can only mean one thing. It's time for the lovemoney.com annual Easter egg taste test!
This year we opted for a good mix of low, medium and high priced eggs to see which offered the best value for money. Would a more expensive egg guarantee a tastier one or are some of the cheaper old favourites just as delicious — if not more so?
In total, there were eight Easter eggs to taste and as usual, volunteers were not hard to come by, with many of them drooling in anticipation several days in advance...
The test
Each taster was given an Easter egg to rate in terms of overall look, who they would give it to, and how much they would be prepared to pay for the egg.
After that, it was time for the blind taste test to begin - in which the volunteers were asked to rate the eight eggs out of ten. Testers were asked to start at different points to ensure that no egg had first-taster advantage.
Of course, as usual, this taste test wasn't the most scientific experiment that's ever been conducted, but as Easter is approaching, we thought it would be a bit of fun. And of course, it's easy for you to replicate at home!
The line-up
|Price willing to pay
|Actual Price
|Price per 100g
|Lidl Bunny
|M&S Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Egg
|Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Egg with Lindor Milk Chocolate Eggs
|Cadbury's Buttons Egg
|Nestle Smarties Egg
|Burnt Sugar Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Egg
|Up to £12
|Monty Bojangles Best of British Sticky Toffee Pudding Egg
|Divine Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Praline Milk Chocolates
Just like last year, we couldn't find an own-brand Easter egg at Lidl, so we used an Easter bunny instead. And once again, it was the cheapest purchase at just 90p per 100g, or £1.79 in total.
The most expensive egg per 100g was the M&S egg (although it was closely followed by the Burnt Sugar egg), while both the Lindor and Divine Easter eggs were the most expensive overall at £10 each.
So let's see how the results turned out.
Lidl Bunny
Lidl always performs particularly well in our annual mince pie taste test and it also did well in our sandwich, steak pie and Valentine's Day chocolate taste tests. However, when it comes to Easter chocolate, it doesn't perform as well — in fact, last year, the Lidl Bunny came last!
So how did it do this year?
Daniel Culpan, an intern for our sister site lovefood.com, reviewed it this year.
Daniel's verdict: 'Great, novelty-looking bunny (with a slightly scary expression). Plastic wrapping a bit cheap-looking and dull — a box would have looked much better.'
Suitable for: 'Children — my nieces would absolutely love it. Also perhaps my nana or animal lovers.'
Blind taste test comments: Our testers could not have had more mixed opinions about this one. Some described it as 'one to impress the wife with', 'very creamy and sweet, but not too sweet', 'expensive'. Others said it was 'cheap', 'sugary with bad aftertaste' and 'rubbish'.
That clears that up then...
Overall position: Lidl came in last place last year. This year, it did slightly better, coming in at number five.
M&S Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Egg
lovemoney.com Editor, Donna Ferguson, took a closer look at this egg.
Donna's verdict: 'Quite feminine and adult. Looks delicious, not too big or silly. A simple, but good quality egg.'
Suitable for: Mum or sister.
Blind taste test comments: The majority of the testers enjoyed this egg, describing it as 'enjoyably creamy and expensive tasting' and 'very smooth and moreish'. However, one taster said it tasted a bit artificial and 'plasticky'.
Overall position: M&S' offering scored fairly well last year, taking position three out of six. This year it did even better, coming joint first! However, don't forget, per 100g this was also the most expensive egg at £4.19/100g.
Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Egg with Lindor Milk Chocolate Eggs
I have to say Lindt is one of my favourite chocolate brands, and it was Publishing Director, Emma Davies' turn to tackle this one.
Emma's verdict: 'Doesn't look very Easter-orientated apart from the delicious chocolate egg. It looks more Christmassy and the Lindt branding is very dominant. But looks nice and quite big — would be happy to receive.'
Suitable for: Ladies of the house - mum, gran, aunty.
Blind taste test comments: Again, the majority of testers enjoyed this egg. Comments included, 'very smooth and velvety, melts in the mouth', 'tastes very authentic — big fan', 'strong rich taste' and 'nice texture'.
However, a couple of samplers disagreed and said it tasted 'cheap' and 'not overly chocolatey'.
Overall position: The Lindt Lindor egg scored very highly and took joint first position with the M&S egg! However, again, this was one of the more expensive eggs at £10, or £3.11/100g. Still, if you're prepared to pay it, the recipient is bound to love it!
Cadbury's Buttons Egg
It was Deputy Editor, John Fitzsimons', job to review last year's winning egg. Will it have performed as well this year?
John's verdict: 'Simple, child-friendly.'
Suitable for: 'Children — or at least, the young at heart.'
Blind taste test comments: This egg proved very popular again this year. But despite the unmistakeable taste of Cadbury's, a couple of testers still thought the egg tasted expensive.
Comments included, 'yummy', 'thick, creamy, lovely', 'melts in the mouth, nice aftertaste', 'lighter than the other eggs'.
That said, a few other testers did think the egg tasted cheap, with one taster saying it was 'boring, boring, boring' and another saying it had an odd initial taste.
Overall position: Having come first last year, the Cadbury's egg still managed to put in a noble performance, taking second place. Given that it was the second cheapest egg at £1.54/100g this is especially good!
Nestle Smarties Egg
lovemoney.com intern, Mandy Le-Vesconte, took on this egg, so how did it score?
Mandy's verdict: 'Colourful, eye-catching, fun. But a bit cheap.'
Suitable for: Children.
Blind taste test comments: Opinions were fairly mixed about this Easter egg. Some testers said it was 'creamy, rich, full-flavoured' 'could keep eating it and not get bored' and 'great'. Others said it was 'boring', 'quite sugary and bad aftertaste' and 'bit dry and dense'.
Overall position: The Smarties egg won our taste test two years ago. However, last year it didn't perform quite as well, dropping to fourth place.
This year, however, it came third! Again, given that this egg was one of the cheapest at £2.50 (or £1.58/100g), this really is great value for money!
Burnt Sugar Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Egg
This rather glamorous-looking egg was reviewed by Head of Consumer Finance, Ed Bowsher. It also came with a box of chocolate honeycomb pieces.
Ed's verdict: 'Impressive! I like the fact that this egg is a bit different — using honeycomb, and the packaging explains that. Looks smart too. Gold-wrapping of egg makes it look posh.'
Suitable for: 'I'd happily give this egg to my mum or my girlfriend.'
Blind taste test comments: Most of our testers liked this one, although there was some disagreement. Comments included, 'big fan of the crackle in the chocolate — very exciting', 'a playful little egg', 'nice with the crispy bits for texture.'
However, others begged to differ, with one sampler stating the egg was 'horrible, bad chocolate. No amount of honeycomb could improve that.' Another said it was 'a bit too sweet and cheap'.
Overall position: Clearly causing mixed opinions, overall this egg scored reasonably well, coming in at fourth place. However, it was also one of the more expensive eggs at £4.18/100g, or £8.99 in total.
Monty Bojangles Best of British Sticky Toffee Pudding Egg
I love the name of this egg and it was lovefood.com intern, Kirsty Page, who examined this one.
Kirsty's verdict: 'Quite trendy packaging, but it did remind me a bit of a coffin!'
Suitable for: Brother, uncle.
Blind taste test comments: Reviews for this egg were pretty poor. In fact, it did not go down well with our testers at all! Several samplers thought it tasted cheap and comments included 'odd, metallic taste', 'I don't like it', 'erh!', 'gross, tasted like crisps' and 'very bland'. Several also commented on the bad aftertaste.
However, one tester said he was a big fan! So it just goes to show that not everyone has the same tastes...
Overall position: As would be expected with comments this poor, this Easter egg came in second from last.
Divine Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Praline Milk Chocolates
Finally, lovemoney.com writer, Rob Powell, assessed this fancy-looking egg.
Rob's verdict: 'Fairly expensive, but also very ethical. I enjoyed reading the "story of the egg" which is printed on the side.'
Suitable for: Hippie girlfriend. A champagne socialist brother or sister. Anyone who likes the idea of 'the big society'.
Blind taste test comments: Again, this egg did not prove popular with our samplers. Comments included, 'nasty aftertaste — tastes like cooking chocolate', 'tacky texture', 'very sugary and sweet rather than chocolatey', 'bland'.
However, one person liked it and said it was 'serious stuff and very filling and creamy'. What's more, it was 'very, very thick, like wading through chocolate river'.
Overall position: Unsurprisingly, this egg came in last, just two points behind the Monty Bojangles egg. It was also one of the most expensive eggs at £3.85 per 100g or £10 in total. So it just shows that expensive doesn't always mean tasty.
The outcome
Well, this year, there's really been a mixed bag of results. Two of the most expensive eggs in the taste test were indeed the most delicious — M&S and Lindt.
However, the bottom two places were also taken up by fairly expensive eggs — Monty Bojangles and Divine. So obviously, paying more for your Easter chocolate doesn't guarantee a tastier egg — which is very good news if you're on a budget!
In fact, given that two of the cheapest eggs came in second and third place, this proves that classic eggs such as Cadbury's and Nestle will always go down a treat, meaning you can save some pennies at the same time!
Here's a quick reminder how each egg rated in terms of taste:
|M&S Milk Chocolate and Hazelnut Egg
|Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Egg with Lindor Milk Chocolate Eggs
|Cadbury's Buttons Egg
|Nestle Smarties Egg
|Burnt Sugar Milk Chocolate Honeycomb Egg
|Lidl Bunny
|Monty Bojangles Best of British Sticky Toffee Pudding Egg
|Divine Milk Chocolate Easter Egg with Praline Milk Chocolates
Happy Easter!

Walkers Mighty Lights are the latest addition to the Walkers Crisps range. The crisps have 30% less fat than standard potato crisps and currently come in three flavours: Cheese and Onion, Lightly Salted and Roast Chicken. They also contain no artificial colours or preservatives.
To remind me that it is nearly time to go back to school Walkers sent me a back to school pack along with the crisps. My son was over the moon with this and made the remark that the Walkers Mighty Lights would be perfect in his lunch box. I think he wanted to try them all himself to see what they tasted like. When I noticed each bag only contains 114 calories I told him they would be ideal in my lunch box as well.
Opening the packet we noticed that the crisps were ridged, which apparently gives them their mighty taste.
So how did they taste? I tried the Roast Chicken flavour as this is my favourite flavour of the three. They were really crispy and crunchy. There is a reasonable amount of flavouring on each crisp but not so much that they are overpowering. The crisps are also nice and thick, without being too thick. I have to admit they were very moreish and soon disappeared.
My son tried the Cheese and Onion and he said they were delicious. He also commented that he liked the smiley crisp on the front of the packet. We both tried the lightly salted and again it was lovely, not too salty in taste. They would go perfectly with dips. We both enjoyed the crisps and these will be making an appearance in our lunch boxes in the future.
Walkers Mighty Lights will be available in packs of 6 35g multipacks RRP £1.79.
Disclosure: I was sent some crisps and a back to school pack in order to do an honest review. I was not told what to write and my opinions are my own.

Striker Murray, who suffered a serious knee injury during Palace's successful play-off campaign last season, is back in training and would give manager Tony Pulis another valuable attacking option as he works to keep the team in the Premier League.
The club has named three goalkeepers in the 25 — Julian Speroni, Neil Alexander plus transfer window signing from Wolves, Wayne Hennessey — but there is still no room for midfielder Owen Garvan, who was also left out of the squad named by Pulis's predecessor, Ian Holloway, at the beginning of the season.

Factory settings in Sony® VAIO E Series
Restoring factory settings in Sony® VAIO® E Series
When we first receive our Sony VAIO E Series, we know already of what we want to do with it. We are ready with the programs we want to install, add and change settings to make it work for our needs and add new kinds of security programs for added features. It is a blank slate ready to be used and to be painted on. Of course as time goes by, with multiple errors and a variety of problems regarding security, the Sony VAIO E Series can become less efficient. At the end of the day, the device can experience minor crashes. Resetting your Sony VAIO E Series to its original factory setting can help you revive the lost vitality of your laptop.
Here are some things you need to know about factory settings:
- What is factory setting?
- Recovering the factory settings
- Information on related considerations
What is factory setting?
Factory setting is the default, original setting and condition of your Sony VAIO E Series when it came out of the box. The system includes all the programs that are essential as well as the OS you chose. When you install new programs, the settings expand but these settings can be changed and rearranged. The original factory settings can be retrieved by using a recovery disk or recovery partition hidden on Sony VAIO E Series. The factory settings of your Sony VAIO E Series can be very important especially during the times you need to recover from an impending system crash.
Recovering the factory settings
When you first open your Sony VAIO E Series, you will be prompted to make a recovery CD. This CD is the image copy of the factory settings. By doing so, you have an assurance that even if your Sony VAIO E Series suddenly collapsed, your Sony VAIO E Series can be retrieved. You just have to use a DVD to make the disk. Once you made the Recovery disk for the factory settings, label it accordingly and then secure it somewhere safe. You can also boot your Sony VAIO E Series on startup by pressing on F10 multiple times. You will be prompted to recover the original factory settings.
The thing about using the factory settings is that it will remove all the data and settings that you have installed or created on the Sony VAIO E Series. If you need all these information or the settings, make a backup so that the even if the factory settings destroyed the ones on the laptop, you got an image copy of the files and settings.

I co-signed for a car a few years ago and 6 months after lost contact with the borrower. I nor the financing company (carmax) can reach the borrower. The car now is in repo status. What can I do?
Sorry about the problems. It seems like every few days there is a question from someone who, unfortunately, co-signed an agreement. A co-signer is directly liable for the debt even if they received no benefit from the transaction. This is an issue of contract and in most cases the only way to be removed from the contract is by lender consent. Naturally, the lender has little to no reason to approve this request since it eliminates one way for them to get repayment on the debt.
You will need to contact a local attorney and provide them the relevant documents to see what options are available. Good luck.

Robert is right. You need to talk to a local Consumer Law attorney in your state who deals with this kind of case. It might cost a little but the peace of mind is probably worth it. Call your local attorney's Bar Association and ask for a referral to a Consumer Law attorney near you or you can go to this web site page for a Free Online 50 State National List of Consumer Law Lawyers (http://www.ohiolemonlaw.com/ocll-site/ocll-locate_local.shtml) and find one near you (lawyers don't pay to get listed here and most of them are members of the only national association for Consumer Law lawyers, NACA.net). But act quickly because for every legal right you have, there is only a limited amount of time to actually file a lawsuit in court or your rights expire (it's called the statute of limitations), so don't waste your time getting to a Consumer Law attorney and finding out what your rights are.Ask a similar question

We'd like to have a fireworks display in our back garden (which is 100ft long). We'd like something that would appeal to the whole family. My quandary is that we live in a built-up area so I'd like to know: a) what would work best and b) are there any rules I should be aware of?
It's great you're being so organised, because a successful display takes a bit of planning and - no pressure - this year is the 400th anniversary of when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
Let's get the boring rules and regulations out of the way first. The firework period is from October 15 until November 10; outside of this time, no one is allowed to sell fireworks unless they have a special licence. (Firework shops operate year round and thus have this special licence.) No one under the age of 18 can buy fireworks. Fireworks can't be fired after midnight on Bonfire Night; on all other nights (with a few exceptions), they must stop by 11pm. All fireworks should comply with the British Standard BS7114, part 2:88 and should be marked as such. Reject any that don't, or that are in plain white wrappers; this signifies either an illegal import or a professional firework.
Now then, a good pyrotechnician will have a firing order, that is, a list of which fireworks they will set off first, second, etc. They will also start off small, maybe with fountains, which are not very noisy, but pretty with lots of coloured "spray", and then build up to the bigger and noisier rockets and barrages. The fireworks code (the full blast of which can be read at www.dti.gov.uk/fireworks) advises that you keep each firework in a box and set up and light them individually; I'm afraid this can make for a very stop/start display and it's completely different to how a professional display is conducted, where all the fireworks are set up, then launched.
A good way round this is by using something called a single ignition firework (SIF), these are also known more descriptively as a "display in a box" while those in the trade call them "cakes". These were highly recommended by the pyrotechnicians I spoke to, not least because they tend to be safer than lighting each firework individually. Cakes are essentially roman-candle-based, aerial fireworks bound with one fuse, timed to go off one after another with the biggest and noisiest going off last. You light each only once, step back and enjoy the show.
The effect, colours and number of "shots" depends on the type of box you buy, but they can last up to two minutes and, having personally witnessed a "home display" using one of these, I can tell you that they're pretty spectacular. But you do need a garden where you can be 25 metres away from the action. Good boxes to look out for are the Black Cat Colossus, £79.99 (www.blackcatfireworks.ltd.uk, tel: 01484 640640); Pyrovision's (01883 743335) Flying Dragons and Pearls, £50, is highly covetable but it's not widely available so ring the number to find your nearest stockist. (I do know that the fabulous Quicksilver in Manchester has them in stock, tel: 0800 0152264). The Kimbolton (www.kimboltonfireworks.co.uk tel: 0870 0762538, 01480 860988 for mail order) Lake of Sapphires, £39, is regularly voted a best buy by firework sites as it's incredibly beautiful and, as the name suggests, it's a blue-based display - blue is an unusual colour to get in fireworks as it's more expensive to produce. However, the big noise at the moment in SIF is Cube's (www.cubefireworks.co.uk, tel: 01487 773388) Powerstation 3, £95; it's about as close as you can get to a professional display in your back garden.
Fireworks are divided up into four categories. Category 1 is for indoor fireworks, category 2 requires a minimum distance of five metres from the firework to people/property, category 3 needs 25 metres, and category 4 is for professional use only.
Your garden is 100 feet long, which is just over 30 metres. If you have a clear 25 metres minimum, then you can use category 2 and 3 fireworks; otherwise you'll have to use just category 2, which aren't as dramatic. Your best bet in that case is to buy a selection box; these offer a little bit of everything and save you buying fireworks individually; they also give a suggested running order. But you will have to light each firework separately. Kimbolton's Gold Selection is good value at £19; or look at the Black Cat Bedazzled, £5.99, it has no loud bangs, perfect if you have very young children. Good sparklers are the Black Cat Super Mega Sparklers, 99p for five, and a great little fountain display is the Kimbolton Jumping Jelly Beans, £5.
Whatever you decide to go with, I would urge you to go to a specialist firework shop. These are staffed by people with real expertise. You can find your local one by going to www.yell.com. Remember to have safety gloves and goggles on hand and - vital! - a torch to stop you using a match to look at the instructions. Bang!

I have never put 'Wow' into the title of a blog before – but for this one it's fully justified.
This is the fifth year InfoWorld, Penn State University Center for EA, and Forrester have run the annual Enterprise Architecture Awards. When I compare the winners of five years ago – all excellent EA programs, with this year's winners and the runner-ups, all I can say is 'Wow – EA is really advancing'.
I am pleased to announce the winners of the 2014 Enterprise Architecture Awards. This year, we have six winning programs – all of which demonstrate leading edge thinking on how they engage with their business, how they provide value, and how they help their business achieve its strategic goals. Here are the winners, selected by a panel of leading EA practitioners drawn previous years' winners and other excellent programs. (For a more extensive write-up, see the InfoWorld report)

Driving Innovation with Enterprise Architecture
The best way to succeed in Property and Casualty insurance in the US market is to create innovative products and services for unique customer segments, each with a customized customer value proposition. This is the need that Doug Safford, Vice President and Chief Architect pivoted his EA program towards.
Posted by Henry Peyret on the Enterprise Architecture Professionals Blog on September 7, 2012
Enterprise architects I talk with are struggling with the pace of change in their business.
We all know the pace of change in business, and in the technology which shapes and supports our business, is accelerating. Customers are expecting more ethics from companies and also more personalized services but do not want to share private information. Technology is leveling the playing field between established firms and new competitors. The economic, social, and regulatory environment is becoming more complex.
What this means for enterprise architects is that the founding assumptions of EA — a stable, unified business strategy, a structured process for planning through execution, and a compelling rationale for EA's target states and standards — don't apply anymore. Some of the comments I hear:
"We're struggling with getting new business initiatives to follow the road maps we've developed."
"By the time we go through our architecture development method, things have changed and our deliverables aren't relevant anymore."
"We are dealing with so many changes which are not synchronized that we are forced to delay some of the most strategic initiatives and associated opportunities."
The bottom line is that the EA methods available today don't handle the continuous, pervasive, disruption-driven business change that is increasingly the norm in the digital business era. Our businesses need agility — our methods aren't agile enough to keep up.

A few years ago, Firefox and Chrome added support for styles to log messages. This means you can call
console.log with an additional CSS option. I've noticed a few libraries and frameworks using this to good effect for debugging messages, but an idea that's new to me is combining Markdown with logging.
Logdown (GitHub: caiogondim/logdown, License: MIT, npm: logdown) by Caio Gondim is a module that lets you include Markdown in logs for both the browser and server. It can do the basics, like italic and bold, but the thing that I really like is including code.
To use it, instantiate a new
Logdown instance, and then just log as you would with
var Logdown = require('logdown');
var debug = new Logdown({ prefix: 'foo' });
debug.log('lorem *ipsum*');
debug.info('dolor _sit_ amet');
debug.warn('consectetur `adipiscing` elit');
The module supports various options: you can turn off Markdown parsing and add a prefix. It supports Node 0.10+, io.js 1.0+; and Chrome, Firefox, IE 9+, Opera, and Safari 8.0+.

Dear Parents,
"All Students Can Learn"
At Saugerties Central School District we believe that all students can learn; however, we understand that the way in which each student achieves knowledge may vary. Children with disabilities are learning and achieving at unprecedented levels across the state. The IDEA also known as the Federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act establishes a collaborative role for parents and teachers in planning and implementing educational programs for eligible students with disabilities. Students with disabilities deserve the extra support and resources they need to learn in an environment with their non-disabled peers to the fullest extent possible in all aspects of school and community life.
It is our hope that the information available on the website will help familiarize you with the CPSE and CSE processes, answer questions and help in your understanding of various roles.

*GM Would Sell a Ton of ELRs if they were not so Over Priced by $20,000...
I stopped by my local Cadillac dealer to check out the ELR.. $74k for a new one.. Way Overpriced.. The Chevy Volt (with the same Technology) bombed out with all the goodies, plus more room is $28K.. Please tell me how the $74k is justified? I would not expect soccer moms to purchase this at that price.. It has manly looks and slow Electric Acceleration.. I was not impressed at all with the performance for $74k. I know it's all about fuel economy.. But come on.. I would think it would perform better.. The interiors fit and finish was very nice.. No sunroof option.. Although,, the 11-14 CTS Coupe has a sun roof option.. These cars are very close to the ELR in size.. My local dealer had five of them. They sold zero.. I was at another dealer the week prior.. They had three. They also sold zero.. The other dealer agreed that the price was too much.. He also said that sales across the country were not stellar to say the very least.. Being a fan of GM I want them to succeed.. But the ELR is drastically overpriced by at least $20,000.. GM should either rethink the price or run a monster discount sale for a few months.. That would move them for sure.. I just can't see another years model coming on the ELR when they are sitting on dealership lots everywhere. Maybe I'm wrong here... But the $74k price does not make any sense.. What market is this car targeted at? Who researched the price? GM needs to drop the price to realistic numbers and start selling them.. I'm sorry, but this simply bad marketing on GM's part.
Apparently I'm not alone on this one;

Re: *GM Would Sell a Ton of ELRs if they were not so Over Priced by $20,000...
Here's a fairly comprehensive list of improvements the ELR has over the Volt:
- Regen Paddles
- brake lights illuminate under regen-only deceleration
- Full-speed-range Adaptive Cruise Control
- improved traction and handling (especially in the rain)
- superior high-end Bose 10-speaker sound system
- Luxury front seats with 20 separate available electronic adjustments and ability to save two driver settings plus an exit position
- a key fob tied to the driver's automatic seat & side mirror memory positions
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- LED headlamps, daytime running lamps, and taillamps
- Interior accent lighting
- accented leather incorporating sueded microfiber, chrome, wood, and carbon fiber finishes
- C.U.E. Infotainment system
- 20-inch Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS Eco 245/40 tires that provide superior traction
- fully recalibrated and reprogrammed software for powertrain control systems
- premium ZF electric power steering system
- front HiPer Strut suspension
- rear compound-crank with Watt's link suspension
- ZF-Sachs continuous damping control
- 7.8 seconds from 0-60 in Extended Range (ER) mode
- superior acceleration from 50-80 in EV mode (and even faster in ER mode)
- an improved reverse camera
- acoustically laminated windshield
- thicker front-door glass
- liquid-applied sound deadener applied to the floor pan, trunk and roof
- triple-sealed doors with acoustic perimeter water deflectors
- mass-efficient sound-absorbing dash mat and carpet system
- acoustic foam baffles inside body cavities and in between inner and outer quarter panels
- an isolated front suspension cradle with hydraulic powertrain mounts to isolate road and engine vibration
- Bose active noise cancellation system
- Power button moved far away from the Drive Mode button
- Improved steering wheel controls
- Heated steering wheel
- One of the most distinctive, sexy exteriors of any car near its price range
- And, of course, a powered cup holder cover!
That is why the ELR is twice as expensive as a Volt. If you go drive a Volt then drive an ELR, you'll see it's not even the same car. I'm not saying that much (if any) of the equipment is groundbreaking since most of it is available on other GM cars; but if people are willing to pay $40k for a fully-loaded 2014 Volt, then adding everything above to that at least brings one closer to accepting an $80k ELR that, with current lease incentives, only costs about $650/mo (compared to an $75k Lexus LS460 that costs $975/mo).
this recent post in another thread. Cadillac has done a terrible job of communicating why the ELR is worth its price. It also doesn't help that the ELR isn't any faster than the Volt. GM apparently didn't understand (or believe) that acceleration was one of the major draws of the Tesla Model S, and so it made sure the ELR maintained the Volt's 37-mile range at the expense of a more aggressive acceleration. Completely clueless over there at Cadillac.

Re: *GM Would Sell a Ton of ELRs if they were not so Over Priced by $20,000...
The one good thing about the internet....it spawns many auto industry executives, marketing people and industry CEO's....at least in their minds. I sincerely hope that Cadillac does not drop the price down on the ELR as I am an owner. Very few times, if any, in the history of the US auto industry has a domestic car maker decided to kill the used market, new market, service industry or customer base by "tanking" a car that is not selling in volume. Tesla's may be great at drag racing but I doubt that I see many at a track and no matter what the owners say about BEV cars....unless there is a quick charging network in place for the ENTIRE US there will always be range anxiety in a BEV. Planning each and every trip over 250 miles to make sure that the car is not stranded is not an enticing marketing position. The ELR can take you from one end of the US to the other without wasting 5 minutes on planned stops and recreation during same....and it does it in comfort, handling and enjoyment. If the ELR was $50K and it delivered a 0-60 time of 6 seconds BUT had to remove the things I enjoy about the car then I would be asking Cadillac to build one that was $20k more with all the goodies.

Re: *GM Would Sell a Ton of ELRs if they were not so Over Priced by $20,000...
So, what would you have GM do? The real issue is NOT low sales numbers, it's dealers who bought and paid for hundreds of cars they are not finding buyers for. Do you know of any dealer would would commit to ordering any 2015s?
What do you believe would be a practical way to quickly and convincingly clear the inventory of 2014s? Because unless that happens, there's no future, and eventually many dealers will drop the price themselves. As some are already doing.
Funny Toyota has no problem selling a rebadged preus or Camry as a hybrid Lexus. So why is GM the one who gets ripped apart for rebadging ? I believe it's because the press has always been harder on an American company as we seeing the recall mess.. The ELR is a stunning beautiful car there is no doubt about it .. yes should've made it a little more powerful do something different than the volt power train or a little bit cheaper.. that said I think you get a fantastic job of making it a true standout car much better than Toyota did with their Lexus clones.

Bought my red ELR Tuesday, 8 July; for $80K minus a $15K incentive, a $27.5K trade on a 2011 CTS AWD Coupe. Factoring in the $7.5K "Plug-In Electric Drive Vehicle Credit (IRC 30D); I had to cover the difference of $30K. Treated very nicely by DeLuca Woodworth Chevrolet Cadillac, in Andover, MA. As I live in New Hampshire, there was no state tax credit.

Coral Cadillac in Pompano Beach, Florida has large discounts of $22,500 on a loaded ELR. I am not sure if that includes the $7,500 credit. I will have to give the ELR another look.

With current discounts, a loaded ELR is almost $50K less than a TeslaS.
