text: I recently purchased a Pioneer AVH-P1400DVD to replace the garbage stock HU. I have the standard HU without the tweeters, nav etc...I have a dash kit from Scosche that had to modified a bit to fit to my liking. The last piece of this job is wiring into the factory harness. Is there a wiring harness available. I have searched all over and I cannot seem to find a straight answer. The back of the stock HU has 3 plugs. 1 has about 10 wires. The other has about 4 or so and the last has 2. I believe one is for the AUX dock. If anyone has any info on this it would be great. Thanks in advance.

This has been on my mind for a while, long before I got my CCW permit. Naturally I'd shoot someone if I had to protect my girlfriend, or other family member. I wouldn't want to do it, but I would if I was forced to and had no other way out.
But what about strangers? Don't get me wrong, I don't want a stranger to be hurt by someone. But I find myself wondering, is it my problem? Aren't they capable of getting a gun themself and carrying for protection just like I do? Sometimes I wonder if I were to come upon a situation.. if I shouldn't just worry about me and my own.. and try my best to not feel guilty for doing that if someone else got hurt.
My reasoning for this is lawsuits. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a state that protects you from civil lawsuits due to justified shootings, which I'm not. As we all know, shooting someone can mean big trouble. How much trouble are you going to get in potentially, and how much should you risk that trouble to help others? Do I really want to risk losing everything I own, because someone else chose to not have a way to defend theirself?
I don't know how to answer my own questions here. I don't ever want to shoot anyone, not even someone who deserves it. If it's to protect myself or my family, or my friends, then I'm going to just have to do it and deal with whatever comes. But I just don't know if I could risk losing everything for some stranger. It's not that I don't want to help them. I really do want to help people. But in today's sue happy world you just risk a lot.
I suppose it would all just come down to the situation. Witnesses that are calling out for someone to stop this attacker, shoot him, etc. That might make it a bit easier, but I'd still be cautious. I carry so at the end of the day, if I ever meet death face to face out on the streets.. hopefully I return home that evening. I don't carry for others protection, that's not my priority. But it doesn't make me wrong for thinking that way does it? Would others risk their life, their freedom, or everything they own.. to help me? Would I expect them to? I don't know that I would. This has really made me think about having some sort of good less-lethal form of protection that I could carry along with my gun. Such as a taser maybe. As it is right now, my girlfriend when she's with me.. she carries pepper spray and I carry the gun. She could always carry the taser in her purse for me to use, should I ever have the time to think what I can do in a situation, then act if I choose to..
I really don't know.. and at this point I'm rambling. I just don't know how I should feel about this situation. So hopefully others input will help me find an answer for myself. I don't ever want to feel the guilt of thinking I could have done something.. but didn't.. and I don't ever want to feel the pain of doing something, and losing everything because of it either.

Iridescent shark
|Iridescent shark
|Scientific classification
|P. hypophthalmus
|Binomial name
|Pangasianodon hypophthalmus
(Sauvage, 1878)
Helicophagus hypophthalmus Sauvage, 1878
The iridescent shark (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) is a species of shark catfish (family Pangasiidae) native to the rivers of Southeast Asia. It is not a shark. It is found in the Mekong basin as well as the Chao Phraya River, and is heavily cultivated for food there. The meat is often marketed under the common name swai. It has also been introduced into other river basins as a food source, and its striking appearance and iridescence have made it popular with fishkeeping hobbyists, among whom it is also known as the Siamese shark or sutchi catfish. The swai's omnivorous diet consists of crustaceans, other fish, and plant matter.[3]
The fish is named for the glow or iridescence exhibited in juveniles, as well as the shark-like appearance of this and other shark catfish. It is also known as Siamese shark or sutchi catfish by aquarium hobbyists.[4]
Adults reach up to 130 cm (4.3 ft) in length and can weigh up to a maximum of 44.0 kg (97.0 lb). They have a shiny, iridescent color that gives these fish their name. However, large adults are uniformly grey. The fins are dark grey or black. Juveniles have a black stripe along the lateral line and a second black stripe below the lateral line.[3]
Distribution and habitat[edit]
Iridescent sharks originate from the large rivers Chao Phraya and Mekong in Asia, though they have been introduced into other rivers for aquaculture. They are a freshwater fish that natively live in a tropical climate and prefer water with a 6.5–7.5 pH, a water hardness of 2.0–29.0 dGH, and a temperature range of 22–26 °C (72–79 °F).[3] They prefer large bodies of water similar to the deep waters of their native Mekong river basin.
The iridescent shark is a migratory fish that in most regions moves upstream to spawn during the flood season while the waters are high and returns downstream to seek rearing habitats when the river water levels recede. The dates of the migrations vary depending on the river system. In the Mekong river basin, they migrate upstream in May to July and return downstream during September through December. South of the Khone Falls, upstream migration occurs in October to February, with its peak in November to December; here, it appears to be triggered by receding waters at the end of the flood season.[3]
In August 2015, an environmental group in Santander, Colombia, confirmed that Iridescent sharks had been found in one of the tributaries that feed into the Magdalena river, having been accidentally introduced from illegal farm fisheries in the area. The find has caused alarm amongst the scientific community and government officials, as the Magdalena river is home to over 200 native fish species, 35 of which are endangered.[5]
Culinary profile[edit]
Pangasius does not have a gourmet reputation and is sold cheaply as swai (pronounced /swaɪ/) in the United States; panga (or pangas) in Europe or again Cream Dory and Basa is several Asian countries.
The poor reputation that Pangasius acquired in several countries can mainly be attributed to a 'wrong sale strategy' explained by Jean-Charles Diener, a Seafood Specialist in Vietnam, in an article published in 2012 by the magazine Vietfish International (magazine of VASEP) (P88-92). Despite its poor reputation, the success of Pangasius remains remarkable and has recently became one of the most successful whitefish species, comparable to the seawater catches of Cod and Alaska Pollack. The total export of Pangasius from Vietnam reached 1.8 Billion USD in 2014.[6]
The Pangasius fillets are an increasingly popular product due to low cost, mild taste, and firm texture. Recipes for other whitefish such as sole or halibut can be adapted to Pangasius.[7]
Pangasius is an omnivorous fish and therefore does not require a high level of animal proteins in its diet. Typical grading sizes are: 3-5 oz, 5-7 oz, and 7-9 oz.[8]
In the aquarium[edit]
While juvenile iridescent sharks are sold as pets for home aquariums, they are not easy fish to keep. While they can survive in a 40-gallon aquarium, iridescent sharks are schooling fish that prefer groups,[3] are accustomed to living in rivers, and are active fish that require space. They have very poor eyesight, so detected movement from outside of their habitat can be seen as a threat; if stressed, their first instinct is to flee and such a blind dash can result in injuries in an aquarium environment. These flights may be terminated by the fish sinking to the bottom, where it may lie on its side or back until it recovers.[4]
An iridescent shark requires a minimum tank size of 12 m (39 ft) to develop naturally. Schools require even larger tanks. If given enough room and fed adequately, individual fish can reach 1 m (3.3 ft) in length. In most home aquariums, the lack of space severely stunts their growth. For this reason, most iridescent sharks kept in home aquaria grow to only 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in) in length and may die prematurely. When provided with adequately-sized aquaria and proper husbandry, an iridescent shark may live into its teens and grow to full size.[9]

I have just spent another 8 weeks with Auntie Barbara, but my Mum is back and home I go, Barbara says the more I come the more she misses me when I go.
The other day she was quite annoyed with me as she left in the car some garlic sausages she had brought, well what's a gal supposed to do with such a lovely smell. I ate 6 of 8 (left a couple for the humans) woops was I growled at, and did my tummy rubble, did not need my tea that night!
Today I returned to my caretaker mum, as my mum has gone on another trip!
I enjoy it here though as there is a lovely small garden to play in, lots of birds and butterflies all around, I have great fun running around trying to catch them.
This afternoon my Aunty took me for my wash,trim and blowdry, see the before and after photo's in my album.
I am told my Mum rang this morning to talk to Aunty Barbara, she has been in England since Febraury, she has returned to New Zealand but is going away again on Sunday for another two weeks in Taihiti. Then I believe I shall be going back home with my Mum, but will come and see my Aunty Barbara every week, she will miss me, I will miss sneaking into her bed each morning at 4am.

I recently had the pleasure of fishing once again with Capt. Willian Toney of Homosassa. This time Capt. Toney invited me along to be a co-host on an episode of his television show "Nature Coast Outdoors." Our target species this time was sheepshead and we had planned to hit some of the very same near shore rock piles we had fished for grouper just a few weeks earlier.
The day started out from the newly renovated boat ramp at MacRae's of Homosassa located right on the Homosassa River. Along for the ride was Capt. Toney's videographer and producer Al Milian.
We shot a short introduction along with a few scene setters at the dock.
We then made the trip down the river and after a short run of a few miles to a couple of Capt. William's favorite rock piles and we were set up and ready to go.
A few more video spots on our tackle and techniques and then it didn't take long before Capt. William was hooked up with a nice 15 inch sheepshead.
I then proceeded to catch the next three fish as we gave Al, the videographer, plenty of footage for the camera.
Al also shot a few takes of some close ups of our baits and the hooks we both prefer to use. As far as bait, we mainly used fresh dead shrimp. I also used some frozen sand fleas as bait as well.
For hooks, I prefer a Gamakatsu Octopus Circle size #2. Capt. William prefers an Owner J hook size 2/0. To each his own, both hooks are different yet very similar in size. It appears both are effective at hooking sheepshead, which is generally agreed to be one of the best bait thieves that swims the ocean. The stripes and the nickname convict fish seem to backup this reputation.
At this first spot both caught a couple more fish and then the grass porgies moved in. Capt. William says once the sheepie bite shuts down and the grass porgies start to hit, it's time to move.
We headed out to the next spot and once again Capt. William had the first hook up. This fish was a nice 16 and 1/2 inch fish that might have measured 17 inches except for the fact it was missing part of it's tail. We surmised that this fish must have tangled with a rock pile grouper when it was young and survived the attack.
This second spot proved to be very productive as I proceeded to land a nice 17 inch sheepshead shortly after Capt. William's physically challenged fish. On top of the nice sheepies we caught, we both also caught a short grouper each, as well a few nice black sea bass.
All in all, once again it was a wonderful trip with Capt. William. We had a great time fishing and were successful at catching many sheepshead. Between the sheepshead and black sea bass, two of the finest eating fish in my book, we had plenty of fillets for some tasty meals as well.
Back at the dock, Al and myself both filmed Capt. William giving a demonstration of how to clean a sheepshead, which are known for being tough to clean due to their tricky rib cage. I plan to publish an episode of my video webcast "Angler's Advantage" on this subject in the very near future.
Overall, it proved to be a very productive and enjoyable outing for a geographic, seasonal, species piece on sheepshead for an upcoming episode of Capt. Williams' show "Nature Coast Outdoors."
The show will air sometime in late March on the Brighthouse Networks channel 16 which airs in the Citrus and Levy county areas. I've already watched it. I'm not as scary on camera this time as I thought I would be. LOL
Great fishing there Mook!
I'm looking forward to seeing this video.. Sounds like a great trip.. Keep it up bud!
Great work Mook. Congrats.
Nice work man..

Understanding HijackThis
Have you ever been hijacked? On the Internet, I mean!
Maybe you suddenly find that your homepage (for example, the Web site that comes up when you first open your Web browser) has been changed or you get another search box instead of Google. I'm sure other unexplained browser actions occur too, but those are just a couple examples.
So, you may not know it, but if that happens to you, you've probably been hijacked!
Other tips from WorldStart have explained this phenomenon in detail (see here [1]) and others have recommended an excellent program called HijackThis. You can read more about that here. So, I would suggest that you read these first before you continue on with this tip.
Even once you become familiar with HijackThis, the problem of "how do I interpret the results from my HijackThis log"? may still remain. Unless you are a "computer geek," it can be difficult making sense of all the information you are given.
The recommended way though is to take a copy of the log produced by HijackThis and post it on a forum. Then wait for the suggestions to come in. You can then take the recommended action, repost the log and even go back and forth a few times until the problem is cleared up. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
But, if you are anything like me, when you see a problem, you want to solve it right away and you can't wait the few days it takes for the above procedures.
So, to help us, there is a recommended site that will give you an instant interpretation of your logs, together with a recommended action. You can find that here [2]. This is the opening page you will see:
But, before we go any further, let's take an essential step (you don't want to miss this!) You must back up your registry. If you don't know how to do this, read this article for clear instructions. You have to do this, because if you make any mistakes, you will be able to back track and still be okay.
So, let's see how it works.
Fire up HijackThis and view the opening screen, which looks like this:
Make sure you click on "Do a system scan and save a logfile" first.
After awhile, HijackThis will do its business and in addition, it will load up Notepad with the system log.
Now, copy the log to your clipboard (Ctrl + A is the quickest way) and go to the Web site I gave you above. Look for the place to paste your log in (Ctrl + V or right click, Paste option).
Here is my log now pasted in on the site:
Next, hit the Parse button at the bottom and just wait. It won't be too long until you see a screen with the result of the analysis.
The top half looks like the image below and it will give you the color code for what follows.
Again, another word of warning here: Never delete anything that you are not 100 percent certain about. Neither I, WorldStart or the recommended site will be responsible for the results of any such actions you might take. The best way to be 100 percent certain is to put the key marked as "Bad" into Google and see what the various forums advise. It's almost certain that someone else has had the same problem and will have an answer for you.
Here is a part of the analysis from my log:
You will also see the red highlighted section, which certainly looks suspicious.
Assuming I have done my due diligence to make sure it is safe to remove this, I will go back to HijackThis (the program, not the log file) and find the entry there. I will then mark it for fixing, which will look like the image below. You can do the same.
I will then go through the whole list and do the same thing over again.
When I have finished, I'll click the Fix checked button and presto, the problem will be fixed (hopefully!)
I'm sure you'll agree that this is a very helpful service and best of all, it's free. Check it out!

Emerging powers are playing an increasingly consequential role in Africa, and are set to deepen their impact upon political, economic and security dynamics across the continent in coming years. In many respects this is an expression of wider global trends characterised by the shifting balance of wealth and power away from the US and Europe to the rapidly growing economies. In Africa, the impact of these emerging – or in some cases, re-emerging – actors is becoming more substantial and more complex almost by the day.
Emerging powers are bringing financial capital, business acumen and new models of development and diplomacy to the continent. In doing so they see in Africa a resource partner, an export market, and a relatively uninhabited geopolitical space in which they can leverage their growing influence. Assessing this dynamic is crucial to developing an understanding of Africa's growing importance in the global supply chain, its growing relevance as a market and its centrality to the new international order in the making.

When three schools in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines performed poorly on standardized achievement tests, with one school, the Tayud National High School, producing a mere 17 per cent pasing rate, the Coalition for Better Education (CBE) decided to iimplement programs that would improve these statistics. Intervening through the Involving Communities for Better Education initiative, CBE partnered with Globe Telecom to create a pilot program at Tayud. Globe Telecom has designed and implemented several ICT education courses, including the Global Flilipino Teachers and Globe Bridging Communities. Global Filipino Teachers (GFT) is an intensive six-day teacher training program that instructs primary educators on ICT application in the classroom. Globe Bridging Communities consists of several initiatives, including the Internet in Schools Program for high school students, which provides one year of free Globe Broadband Internet access. As of 2010, Internet in Schools Program had provided Internet to over 950 schools nationwide.
As part of the pilot program at Tayud, teacher received GFT training after CBE ensured that they were ICT literate. Additionally, Tayud became a recipient of the Internet in Schools Program. In order to create a more active community, Globe has also agreed to help create a community resource center that will open this month. This community center represents a partnership between the school, the governemtn, and the local community, and will help to promote the goods and services of the Tayud region.

Got two news yesterday from LanzaTech and Elevance Renewable Sciences.
New Zealand-based LanzaTech said it has partnered with Taiwan-based LCY Chemical Corporation (LCY) to develop and produce chemicals from bio-based C2-C5 feedstock, which could replace LCY's current petroleum-based portfolio such as TPE, PP, solvents and methanol derivatives. LCY is also looking to expand in bioplastics and biofuels.
LCY said it will fund the construction of production plants in exchange for access to LanzaTech's gas fermentation technology.
"Bio-based chemicals are currently one per cent of global chemicals production, but that is expected to increase to nine per cent during the next 10 years," said LanzaTech CEO Jennifer Holmgren. "LanzaTech and LCY will produce key bio-based chemicals, creating new products and revenue streams for both companies."
Holmgren said biobased chemicals and plastics are forecasted to have potential global revenue of $15bn (EUR11.4bn) by 2020.
Meanwhile, Elevance said it is collaborating with International Specialty Products (ISP) to evaluate and commercialize renewable-based waxes and derivatives as biocide carriers for wood plastic composite materials. The waxes are made from vegetable oils produced using Elevance's metathesis technology.
The companies plan to commercialize the products late this year.

Maremma Wine Region Guide
Sassicaia, Ornellaia - these mythical wines are known as "Super Tuscans" and they come from the beautiful coastal Maremma Wine Region, located in Southern Tuscany. "Super Tuscan" is a term that was coined to refer to these great wines, which for years bore the term "Vino da Tavola", table wine (despite also wearing 200 dollar per bottle price tags). The reason behind this anomaly was that the wine regulatory councils in Tuscany did not allow the use of "foreign" varietals, such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, in wines that they granted the DOC and DOCG quality seals. This was controversial, as some wineries had been growing these "foreign" grapes for years. Certain winemakers, confident enough in their winemaking decided to forfeit the quality seal (DOC/ DOCG) and make the wines they believed in, hoping that customers would judge their wines on the actual merit of them and not its seal. In fairly little time, wines like Sassicaia became cult wines, adored by wine journalists and anoraks alike. The rest is history.
The Maremma is extremely different than Northern Tuscany. While the north boasts such spectacular cities as Florence, Siena and Lucca, the region also received hoards of tourists and can be uncomfortably crowded in high season, indeed even in low season. Wine regions in Northern Tuscany, such as Chianti Classico, have extremely well developed wine tourism and most cellars open to the general public. The Maremma, on the other hand, is far more exclusive. Few cellars open to the "general public" and the region is noticeably less touristy. This is why the Maremma, for serious wine lovers is such an attractive region to visit. Towns like Castiglione della Pescaia (with its charming fishing port and castle), Pitigliano (an amazing village completely carved out of the rocky outcrop below, an ancient Jewish village) and Massa Maritima (with its quaint cobblestoned, Medieval streets) are all fabulous little gems- they are virtually free of the crowds.
The Wild West
The Maremma is often referred to as the "Wild West", both in terms of its landscapes and its winemaking. While in Northern Tuscany, the Etruscans were making wine thousands of years before, the Maremma used to be a wild, swampy backwater and viticulture was only introduced to the region in the 19th century. It wasn't until about the 1980's that foreigners had even heard of Maremma wines. The man often credited with discovering the region's potential is Marchese (Marquis) Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, the founder of Sassicaia. His vision was Bordeaux style wines, blended with Tuscany's noble Sangiovese grape.
The principal wine villages in the Maremma are Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, and Suvereto. Grapes used in Maremma wines include Sangiovese (of course), Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Vermentino, Cabernet Franc, Alicante Bouschet and Aleatico. Wine Tours specialists, such as ourselves, can organize VIP winery visits to the best cellars in the Maremma, combined with olive oil tasting, fine dining and gorgeous accommodation, contact us for more information.

text: Hollywood Legend Dustin Hoffman Dishes on His Directorial Debut Quartet, Redefining Retirement and Living in the Present in the February/March Issue of AARP The Magazine WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dustin Hoffman, one of the most celebrated actors of our time, opens up in the February/March issue of AARP The Magazine about stepping out of his comfort zone for his directorial debut Quartet, redefining retirement in Hollywood and how his latest film drove him to ponder how far he's come and how little he's changed. The Academy Award ® winner is also being recognized for his Breakthrough Achievement in directing by AARP The Magazine with a 2012 Movies for Grownups® award. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20070209/NYF043LOGO) The following are excerpts from the February/March issue of AARP The Magazine cover story, available in homes today and online NOW at www.aarp.org/magazine. On his directorial film debut, Quartet: "An honest answer: I directed a play on Broadway. I blamed my own demons for waiting 35 years to do it again. Why did I fight it? Because it's a thrilling opportunity to be the one who holds the paintbrush." "As we were working on the film, I asked Billy Connolly [one of its stars], 'What's the movie about?' And he said, 'Don't die until you're dead.' I thought that nailed it." On what drew him to Quartet: "It's an affirmative movie but still reality. There's this cloud of mortality hovering over the characters and blinding them." On using real musicians ages 70-plus in Quartet: "Brilliant artists—and no one had rung their phone for 30 or more years. They showed up at 6 every morning and worked sometimes 14 hours a day without a whimper, with such dedication and joy. It infected all of us."

Today was not a good day for the Washington Post's op-ed page. In addition to E.J. Dionne Jr.'s mess, it included Michael Kinsley's "Why Lawyers Are Liars" (not to mention some other stuff that I haven't read).
Notwithstanding my attention-catching title, I don't know whether Kinsley is a liar. Maybe he's just sloppy. In any event, his op-ed is rife with seemingly opportunistic misstatements. For example, relying solely on the dubious accounts of two Democratic senators (one of whom was Teddy Kennedy), Kinsley contends that Alito tried to distance himself from his statement on abortion in his 1985 job essay by stating that he "was just 'seeking a job'". Kinsley somehow neglects Alito's own hearing testimony in which he made clear that the views in that essay were his at the time. Similarly, Kinsley mischaracterizes as "evasion, if not outright lying," a nominee's straightforward statement that his understanding of judicial ethics (or of the judicial role) forbids him from answering certain questions. And (to limit myself to just one more example) he includes in his litany of supposed lies a statement that he concedes is true but that he thinks "does not bear excessive emphasis".

Kitchen reno, any better suggestions?
1 Attachment(s)
My wife and I are planning a full kitchen reno to start within 2 months. It will involve taking down a wall that separates the kitchen and living room, not load-bearing, laying bamboo throughout the first floor and re-arranging the current kitchen layout. The current kitchen lacks a dishwasher and any large usable counter space. Were going to be utilizing a corner sink to maximize countertop prep area and relocate the appliances. The pic from google sketchup give what we are planning. Over the sink we're using a 30" corner cabinet flanked by 12x30" wall cabinets and then stepped down with 36" long cabinets throughout the rest of the uppers. The table will be placed in the open corner (area where you would stand for this perspective). To the left of the fridge is the entrance from other areas of the house. The wall to the left is the wall that is being removed, a half wall will be in the space where the floor jaunts out in the drawing the rest completely open and a consistent floor, behind you is an outside wall. The kitchen measures 10' 4" x11' 4". Long wall is the stove wall. The wall with the doorway is 7' 3/4".
What does everyone think? Small kitchen and this seems to be my best beat for maximum usable counter space and adding the all important dishwasher!
Thanks, mike

Some pics of the current layout. The wall your looking at in the pic is the one coming down. The right side will be removed completely, the left will be left as a half wall extending out about 4 feet
Counter prep space is still small and it's concentrated by the sink area. Anyway you could wrap a cabinet or two around the stove corner to get some room for prep in that area? Can't tell if the table could be rotated parallel to the new stove wall.
If I wrap the wall where the stove is I run into a window, even if I resize it I still wont be able to get a large prep area since its an eat in kitchen and I need a table somewhere. Thats why the idea of the placement for the stove came into play, between the sink and the stove there will be about 4 1/2 feet of counter top and although the stove is there you could utilize it to put pots/pans on as you prep making it "almost" a continuous countertop.
Thanks for the reply though, maybe some remeasuring with the wall being gone it could be a possibility. Any other suggestions? or criticisms? Incase i missed a possible oh this sucks situation that i created!
how sabout a chefs butcher block mobile work station for help with food prep
Perhaps consider putting an island between the kitchen and living room, use one side for food prep, the other side for seating. I agree the food prep area seems really small. We redid our kitchen some years ago, took out the wall to the dining room, put in an island. We rarely use the dining room, but the kitchen, we spend at least half our time there, and the island gets most of the attention.
I'm with you in the tiny kitchen club! My two cents, if its worth that much! Ffirst, if the half wall separates your kitchen and living room it is a great place to put a narrow countertop with two bar stools. It is multi-functional as counter space, extra seating for the living room, and a place to snack if you don't want the kids taking food into there.
Second thought is your sink layout. I like moving it to the corner but the cabinets above it are going to be IN YOUR FACE when you're washing anything. Is there any way to eliminate the corner cabinets and maybe put a couple open shelves there? How about adding a window where the corner cabinet on the outside wall is? I know the idea is to maximize storage but I'm thinking it may get dark and claustrophobic when you're trying to clean plates.
Lastly, in a 10'x11' kitchen its going to be very difficult to have any type of dining table AND island or mid-room counter space.
Great sketch up and pics, good luck and let us know what you decide!
I was right there with you about the corner sink, until I saw the same set up at ikea. It seemed as long as the corner cabinet and the two flanking it are raised high enough and some clever lighting is added it doesnt feel that way. We talked to a designer at Kitchen World yesterday and changed a few things, first being the sink base insead of the corner front the new base will be straight across the front and a single bowl insted of the butterfly sink. The set up worked in the showroom, hopefully it will work in practice! We're probably going to leave the fridge and stove where they are in the current layout too, that allows for a 5ft prep area, the largest so far.
We picked out, well my wife picked out Homecrest cabinets, hicoray in a medium glaze. We still have to pick out the flooring, were going bamboo just need to finalize the color.
Thanks for the tips Ill post some pics when walls start disappearing

FS (NorCal): powder coated strut bodies for Koni inserts
Prepared struts from a 2004 WRX sedan. Will fit all 2002+ WRX Koni inserts. Have been professionally powder coated Koni yellow as indicated on Koni's website:
For KONI Sport it is a Cadmium Yellow, the same colour as the Sport shock absorber and defined by the RAL code 10-21.
Have never been installed and are stilled wrapped in paper from the powder coater. I was planning on getting Koni inserts but am now considering other options.
This is a perfect option for those who don't have the tools to cut your own struts apart and want that factory finish of an OEM Koni strut. This will also work with 2004 STI cars as well according to IWSTI.com forums.
Thanks for your interest...I prefer local sales first and then I will consider shipping if that doesn't work out. I'm in San Jose, California.
[COLOR="Blue"][SIZE=+1][B]SOLD! [/B][/SIZE][/COLOR]
I am open to offers...the box of powder coat cost me about $20-25, the powdercoater charged me $125 to do the job, the used struts cost me $80 from a local, not to mention the dremel cutting wheels and my time to do it.
Whomever buys these: all you need to do is get the Koni inserts, bolt them in these housings, and install them on your car, plus you have your OEM stockers to go back to later on.
I'm interested, but I'm not 100% sure if the strut/shock bodies are exactly the same on my 06. I'm not sure if WRX shocks have been updated since 04. They sound sweet, and look pretty nice.
I know that the inserts are pretty expensive, not sure how much exactly. Gotta put that into the equation + some new lowering springs(not necessary but should be done for performance and looks). Gotta determine if the total cost will be worth it, or if a person would be better off getting coilovers.
Looks like you did a good job though
Thanks for your interest...
2004-06 WRX are the same:
The main point of consideration is whether you have a wagon or sedan as it affects the camber slightly as the WRX sedan track is slightly wider. From what I understand camber bolts can correct that to some degree.

Lisbeth? Rooney Smiles & Dances For Calvin Klein
By JACKIE WILLIS
July 09, 2013
Lisbeth who? Rooney Mara shed her Girl With the Dragon Tattoo persona for a fun and carefree commercial for Calvin Klein's Downtown fragrance.
The 28-year-old Oscar nominee was quick to laugh and dance as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs play over this black and white ad.
Mara still has some connection to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Like the book-turned-movie, this CK commercial was also directed by David Fincher.
What do you think of the new fragrance ad? Can Mara pull off a fun and flirty disposition?

text: Sep 30, 2011 - I just started to try/use this product. First day was awfull. way to puffy. Some curl definition not enough hold and it felt yucky. I'm a white girl with 3a/b frizzy curly hair and lots of it. I watched a you tube video on how to apply, tried it and also decided to add a little Bio Silk Rock Hard Gelee and it came out a lot better and it also feels better. I know it's supposed to be a one product to take care of all curly hair issues but for me, it didn't provide enough hold. I also use Morrocan Oil Intense Curl cream with the Rock Hard Gelee and I like that too. So.. if you have the product and are frustrated.. just add another gel.. with both the KCCC and BRHG.. I don't get any stiffness at all from these products alone or together like some people do. I just get the hold I need to control my frizz and poofyness. Good Luck!

Gearing up for some holiday celebrations, Russell Crowe showed up in Sydney, Australia this afternoon (December 20).
The "Gladiator" hunk looked handsome in a navy blue Polo shirt as he hopped out of his car at his estranged wife Danielle Spencer's home to spend some time with the family.
It's no secret that his marriage to Danielle Spencer has seen better days, and Russell Crowe is hoping that some holiday downtime will help to rectify the situation.
Earlier this week, the "A Beautiful Mind" actor took to his Twitter page to lament the state of his home life and declare his intention to make things better.
Gearing up for the release on Christmas Day, the stars of "Les Misérables" attended the New York film premiere at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Monday (December 10).
The 2012 remake of the Broadway classic follows the story of 19th-century France's Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after he breaks parole, and agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's daughter, Cosette. The fateful decision changes their lives forever.
As if there wasn't already enough buzz around "Les Miserables," Universal Pictures just released a foursome of new featurettes.
The Tom Hooper-directed flick is based on Victor Hugo's 1862 novel that became a massive Broadway hit musical, and expectations are sky high.
They've been working overtime to promote their new flick, and the cast of "Les Miserables" is featured in The Hollywood Reporter.
It won't be long before "Les Miserables" hits theaters, and earlier today (December 5) the star-studded cast showed up at the world premiere event in London, England.
Hugh Jackman caused quite a stir as he arrived at the Odeon Leicester Square in a long black overcoat with a charcoal suit and a scruffy smile.
Kicking off another day on the job, Russell Crowe reported to the set of "Winter's Tale" in New York City yesterday afternoon (December 4).
The "A Beautiful Mind" star was joined by "Downton Abbey" babe Jessica Brown Findlay as he ran lines in between takes while costar Alan Doyle took self-portraits with his iPhone nearby.
It's already one of the most highly anticipated films of the season and Universal Pictures is now continuing to increase the excitement for the release of "Les Miserables" with two new TV spots.
On Tuesday (December 4), two never-before-seen 30 second clips were released giving fans a new look into what they can expect from the musical turned film.

Inquiry into detainee's death still under wraps
'We want to know the truth'
A magisterial inquiry into the murder of 32-year-old Mamadou Kamara last June has been concluded but the Government will not publish the findings while a criminal trial is in progress.
Mr Kamara, a Malian, died after allegedly receiving multiple blows to the groin while handcuffed, following his recapture by Armed Forces of Malta personnel after he escaped from the Safi detention centre. He had already fled the centre once before, in 2009, a year after arriving in Malta.
Two soldiers have been charged with his murder and his death prompted Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi to order an inquiry.
Mr Justice Jeffrey Valenzia, who conducted the inquiry, has submitted his report but a spokesman for the Prime Minister's office said that, since the soldiers allegedly involved in Mr Kamara's death were still being tried, "it would not be prudent" to publish the findings at this stage.
This has upset NGOs who met with the Prime Minister shortly after Mr Kamara's death.
"One wonders when the Government would consider it prudent to publish these findings, seeing as we're talking about a man who was killed while in detention," Aditus director and human rights lawyer Neil Falzon said.
His comments were echoed by Migrants' Network for Equality spokesman Ali Konate, who said that keeping the inquiry findings out of sight would also keep the matter out of mind.
"When things take too long, people tend to forget," Mr Konate cautioned. "There were things about the initial autopsy report that didn't convince me and many others. We want to know the truth," he said.
After Mr Kamara's death, the Prime Minister also pledged to review detention services and improve living conditions for detained asylum seekers.
Although that review is still underway, a spokesman for the Prime Minister revealed some of its more substantive points.
Mobile units previously used to house detained asylum seekers will be replaced with more habitable, permanent structures.
Greater distinction will be made between vulnerable groups of asylum seekers, while the review also suggests housing those unlikely to be granted asylum in separate premises.
The Government plans to bolster its repatriation efforts in an attempt to encourage many of those refused asylum to return to their home countries.
An Ambassador for Immigration issues will take charge of these efforts, which will include increased development aid to countries willing to facilitate repatriation efforts.
The review also suggests creating an umbrella agency to coordinate all detention services. Currently, open centres are coordinated by the Agency for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers, while detention centres form part of the AFM's remit.
Dr Falzon said that while material improvements were always welcome, Malta's mandatory detention policy remained an issue.
The policy, which has come in for strident criticism by international human rights organisations, is backed by both major political parties, with only Alternattiva Demokratika opposing it.
Mr Konate was also wary about raising his hopes. "These problems are all the result of detention policy. Zoto (Mr Kamara) would not have died had it not been for detention. Of course, improving conditions is positive but these things take time."

I was planning to cut the "V" out of one-by. MB says that works best. But it is a lot of cutting. The short the better for that reason.
What do you think of making the top bars extend about 1 inch past the side boards on each side for easier lifting out? That way you always have a handhold without having to seperate the tops enough to get your fingers between them.

Greenmarket Sellers Bring 'Mother' Country Tastes to Union Square
Whether you're looking for Jersey tomatoes, apples from upstate New York, or fresh fish caught off Long Island, you'll find it at the Union Square Greenmarket, the center of New York's regional food scene. And chances are the person selling you the food is an immigrant.
Feet in 2 Worlds sent a group of journalists in its fellowship program to Union Square to talk with the immigrant-sellers at the market. They produced a series of audio postcards for this episode of the FI2W podcast.

How many guitars does one person need? Some players hammer out sound with just one or two instruments, but others crave the tonal variety that comes with an arsenal of vintage guitars.
Line 6 Variax
Endlessly tweakable tonal variety. Computer interface makes modifying the sounds easy. Amazingly readable Line 6 manual.
So-so looks and playability. Arrived in need of setup.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
Cheapest way to sate that gear hunger: The Variax 600 a modeling guitar — one that models the sounds of other instruments — that's sort of like an all-you-can-eat tonal buffet. The guitar, by Line 6, mimics more than two-dozen of the greatest guitars ever made, including the 1959 Fender Stratocaster, the 1952 Gibson Les Paul and other dream machines that only a serious collector could afford.
Just as the typical Vegas buffet sacrifices quality to deliver gut-busting quantity, the Variax's heaping helping of models proves an unbeatable deal for guitarists who aren't too picky.
Where else can you get such a mix of electric and acoustic guitar sounds (not to mention banjo, Dobro and electric sitar)? The models sound decent as shipped and you can tweak them endlessly on the Variax Workbench, software for Mac or Windows PCs. Just connect the Variax to a computer and start editing.
All these options seem more suited to the studio than the stage. While Billy Gibbons won't be trading in Pearly Gates and the rest of his collection for a Variax, nerdy home-studio noodlers can find plenty of tone options in this single guitar.
Still, some of the settings sound somewhat shrill out of the box. And operating the guitar can get complicated: You switch between sounds using a knob marked with various modeling "families" (the T-Model setting, for instance, models a modded '68 Telecaster, a '60 Tele Custom and a '68 Tele Thinline). A standard five-position selector switch lets you move between models within each family. The differences from one model to the next can be jarring: You can go quickly from ear-piercing spank to dull roar. To make matters even more unwieldy, the volume and tone knobs work differently for each model.
Physically, the guitar is more burger than steak. Solid but nondescript, the Variax 600's double-cutaway body and maple neck prove satisfying if not particularly lust-inspiring. Entirely missing are the magical physical nuances of the guitars the Variax attempts to sonically reproduce: the wide fretboard of a Gibson Explorer; the fat, fragile semi-hollow body of an ES-335; the sexy curves of a Stratocaster.
Line 6 made a name for itself with its amplifier-modeling hardware and software, including the pace-setting Pod, which reproduces the classic tones of Marshalls, Fenders and other heavyweight gear. While amps can have personalities all their own, the bond between guitar players and their instruments is much more personal. For that reason alone, modeling technology makes more sense for amps than for guitars. But if you're looking for an incredibly broad tonal palette — and don't mind a guitar that's more controller than old friend — the Variax just might be the ax for you.

Time Warner Cable Funding for Internship Program Reaches $300,000 Since 2010 WASHINGTON, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Time Warner Cable (TWC) and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) announced today a $150,000 grant to support STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) internships as part of CHCI's Summer Congressional Internship Program (CIP) for 2013-2015. The CIP offers up to 40 college undergraduates of Hispanic descent from across the country the unprecedented opportunity to complete an eight-week paid congressional internship and gain real-world experience working in Washington, D.C. for a member of Congress. TWC's support allows them to help choose four interns each summer who are pursuing degrees in STEM fields to be part of the summer internship class. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110506/MM97615LOGO) "We are proud to continue our partnership with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute in encouraging Latino youth to become the leaders of tomorrow," said Fernando Laguarda, Vice President of External Affairs and Policy Counselor for Time Warner Cable. "This partnership furthers our goal of emphasizing the importance of STEM subjects as well as the impact they have on the future of our country." "We thank Time Warner Cable for their strong support of CHCI's work and for continuing to support Congressional STEM Internships, giving young Latinos an opportunity to pursue careers in a critical area of our workforce that is currently underrepresented," said Esther Aguilera, CHCI President & CEO. "This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for college undergraduates enhances their leadership abilities, strengthens their professional skills, and provides access to national leaders and key policy makers that will help shape their future careers." Responding to the need for expert workers and teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, CHCI instituted STEM Internships in 2010 to promote Latino leaders in these fields. The internship addresses the need for:

Posted by Stephen Powers on January 22, 2010
Just got back from the Lotusphere conference in Orlando (which sure beats Boston these days in the weather department – thanks, IBM!). At one of the sessions, IBM execs gave their take on the Web content management (WCM) and portal markets. Or should that be market? IBM is betting that the WCM and portal markets will converge and cease to be separate markets, with vendors offering combined WCM/portals suites that have one administrative tool set, one presentation management structure, one repository, and so on. From a road map standpoint, IBM is also making it clear that they don't have a "portal plan" or a "WCM plan", but rather an "experience" plan that includes both portal and WCM.
Will it really happen? Certainly, many intranets and extranets rely on content/experience delivery via portals. Also, many companies utilize public-facing Web sites for customer self service – a good fit for portal delivery. Already, SharePoint has made some noise with WCM and portal functionality within a single product. And given many firms' clunky customized WCM/portal integrations, IBM can look attractive with its combination of Websphere portal and Lotus WCM.
So what are the obstacles to total WCM / portal convergence?

Totem Ocean Trailer Express (TOTE to its pals) runs its roll-on-roll-off (RO/RO to its pals) shipping trade between the ports of Tacoma and Anchorage.
The containers on its two Orca Class ships sail stuffed with everything from sofas to steaks to shoes. Built to brave the ice and storms off Alaska, the M.V. Midnight Sun and M.V. North Star are diesel electric powered.
When oil brought the boom to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in 1975, Sun Company of Philadelphia established a RO/RO trade route between Seattle and Anchorage with one ship. The next year, company leaders awoke to their senses, moved to Tacoma and added another ship.
Business was good, and they upgraded to a $10 million facility on the Blair Waterway in 1984. They added a third ship to their fleet the same year.
All three of TOTE's steamships were Ponce class vessels that thrived on hard duty. One broke from its regular route to carry heavy farm equipment to Russia. Another served during Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom in 2003, carrying Marine Corps rolling stock to and from the war. That same year, TOTE took delivery of the North Star and Midnight Sun.
The anchors at the company gates were spares for the three Ponce Class vessels. One would be lowered on the port side, the other starboard. The anchors weigh 24,000 pounds each and catch the sea bed when their flukes dig into the bottom.
Here's your Tacoma Quirk question: What were the names of TOTE's three Ponce Class steamships? You won't get extra goodies if you name them in the order they were acquired, but you will impress the heck out of us.
Be the first to e-mail the correct answer to kathleen@tacomaweekly, and you will win four fabulous tickets to a Tacoma Rainiers game at Cheney Stadium, a pack of sidewalk chalk and a map to Frost Park. Those baseball tickets include parking, pop, peanuts and beer.

With a bunch of negative momentum and a bunch of injured players needing rest and rehabilitation, the Vols should consider themselves lucky they aren't playing today. Most of them do.
"Yeah, definitely," senior linebacker Nick Reveiz said when asked if this is a good time for an open date. "The Georgia loss (41-14 last Saturday in Athens) kind of shook us up with some confidence. It hurt, obviously, because we thought we were going in the right direction and from that loss it looked like we went backwards.
"This is a good time to regroup as a team and as a unit, get better for a great Alabama team coming in next weekend."
Senior defensive end Gerald Williams believes the greatest benefit of the bye week is physical, noting: "It helps tremendously to get some injured guys healthy and get guys back in place."
Conversely, junior quarterback Matt Simms believes the Vols might benefit more mentally following back-to-back SEC losses at LSU and Georgia.
"Maybe if we'd won these past two games we wouldn't care if we had a bye week or not, but we didn't," he said. "We struggled (at Georgia) this past week. Now is a good time to re-evalute where you are and get better."
Despite the butt-whipping they suffered at Georgia last weekend, the Vols seem to be in good spirits.
"We're over the loss," Reveiz said. "It's one of those things where you can't mull over it and be sad over it. A lot of guys were getting after it (in practice this week), excited over playing. I felt we were pretty upbeat on the field."
Simms agreed, noting: "The mood is actually really good. Obviously, we lost in a fashion that we don't to get accustomed to (at Georgia) and with what happened (at LSU) two weeks ago, as well. But we've got a long season ahead of us, and we've got a great opponent ahead of us, too."
That would be defending national champ Alabama. The Crimson Tide will be heavily favored when it invades Neyland Stadium a week from today but Tennessee's players appear eager for the challenge.
"The mood is that there's still a long season ahead of us," Williams said. "We've got to dig in, go out and play every week. We're still keeping our heads up. Don't count us out for nothing."
Redshirt freshman cornerback Eric Gordon believes the lopsided loss at Georgia has made the Vols' resolve stronger, not weaker.
"I feel we're hungry," he said. "On a given day any team can come out flat and get beat. It's about what you do after that. That's what makes the team. I feel like we're coming out ready to practice hard and put that behind us."

Our comments on the FTC's behavioral advertising principles
April 7th, 2008 | Published in Google Public Policy
What sort of principles should determine what kinds of ads users see on the Internet, and where? Last November, the Federal Trade Commission held a town hall meeting that brought together Internet companies, consumer and privacy advocates, government representatives, and Internet users to discuss the consumer benefits and potential privacy issues raised by behavioral advertising.
Shortly thereafter, the FTC released draft self-regulatory principles prepared by the Commission's staff for online behavioral advertising, and invited comments from industry stakeholders. And late last week, we provided our comments on the FTC's draft principles.
Google's comments underscore our support for the Commission's proposed self-regulatory approach, which we believe is the most appropriate method of ensuring innovation, competition, and consumer protection in this space.
We hope that our comments and others' result in a set of privacy principles that can be implemented by industry and provide consumers with appropriate levels of transparency and choice -- two of the design principles that constitute the bedrock of Google's privacy practices. We would expect that such principles would be widely adopted by the online advertising industry and would serve as a model for industry self-regulation in jurisdictions beyond the U.S.
We look forward to continued engagement with the FTC on developing a set of workable self-regulatory practices. And we welcome your input - what do you think about the FTC principles and Google's comments?
