People in Leeds have just two weeks left to give their opinions on a plan that will set out the city's transport priorities for the next 15 years.
Leeds people are being asked what their main transport concerns are at the moment and what they want to see happen over the next 15 years, as well as what they think should be prioritised for funding as part of a consultation launched in October.
Entitled 'MyJourney', the draft West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan sets out a strategy for improving local bus, road, rail, walking and cycling networks for the period 2011 to 2026. It will also take into account motorway links and the needs of aviation, including improved links to Leeds Bradford International Airport.
My Journey's vision is for a people-focused, low-carbon transport system that supports economic activity and growth and enhances people's quality of life, and has been designed to put the needs of transport users (including bus and rail passengers, car and van drivers, freight distributors, pedestrians and cyclists) at its heart.
Metro chairman Chris Greaves said:
"Transport affects nearly every aspect of all our lives in some way, whether that's through the journeys we make for all sorts of reasons or the way in which the goods and services that we consume are delivered, and the costs of those deliveries.
"It has an impact on our work and social lives, our health and education, our connections to families and friends and that's why we want as many people as possible to have the chance to help shape the 15-year plan."
Metro's Local Transport Plan team has held consultation events in Bradford, Dewsbury, Halifax, Huddersfield ,Keighley, Leeds, Pontefract and Wakefield. They asked people what were their main transport concerns, what they wanted to see happen over the next 15 years and what they thought should be prioritised for funding.
Anyone wanting to comment on the draft can still do so until Friday 17 December through the Local Transport Plan website at www.wyltp.com. They can also telephone the team on 0113 348 1726 or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lew's announced this afternoon the reintroduction of their original BB1 casting reel, with a few improvements, of course.
The new BB1 features a one-piece die cast aluminum frame with a U-shaped, large capacity spool and 10 high-quality ball bearings.
Perhaps most significant is the multistop antireverse. This feature gives anglers the ability to stop the reel at just the right spot when a fish bites. This is especially useful for crankbait fishing.
The BB1 weighs 7.4 ounces and is available in 4 gear ratios. The MSRP is $159.90.
Because of the excitement when the BB1 reintroduction was announced, Lew's brought in a referee to control the pro staff at the press conference.
In addition to the BB1, Lew's has, or will, introduce 100 new products this year.

An increasing number of local and prefectural governments are securing footholds in China to attract tourists, support their businesses tapping the gigantic market and promote regional products.
As of last summer, governments around Japan had opened 66 offices in China, outnumbering those in other countries by a wide margin, including 19 in South Korea and 17 in the U.S., according to the Council of Local Authorities for Internal Relations.
Previously, local governments promoted cultural exchanges with their Chinese counterparts via friendship pacts that resulted in economic cooperation.
Recently, they are prioritizing economic ties by pledging "give-and-take relations" and are thus opening offices to seek "quick results," said Toshinori Ogata, director general of the council.
In 2010, the Kumamoto Prefecture opened an office in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in southern China, to promote tourism to and signature products from the prefecture.
Selling alcoholic beverages and rice produced in the prefecture, Guangxi Kumamoto Plaza attracts many visitors and they often make bulk purchases, a senior prefectural official boasted.
"The continuing promotion of our products is much more effective than temporary displays at fairs," he said.
In 2011, the prefectural government of Saga opened an office in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, while Yamagata opened one in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, becoming the first prefectures with outlets in the northeastern cities, where new business development is expected under the backing of Beijing.
But 36 of the 66 offices are located in bustling Shanghai, reflecting a strong "lock-step mentality" by local and prefectural governments, Ogata said.
The governments also consider it easier to win support from their residents by opening offices in "star cities" instead of outlets in places that are little known in Japan, he added.
Leaders of local governments in Japan and China attended a forum in Tokyo in April to promote exchanges. Many Chinese participants were from inland cities far from Shanghai, reflecting Chinese hopes that Japanese local governments will pay greater attention to inland cities with growth potential, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry official.

Help!! for installation of a hanging light from a drop ceiling
I am attempting to install a 10 lb light fixture from a drop ceiling. The old fixture (80's I think) was about 5 lbs and was "cobbled" to a 14" long board above the ceiling tile. Also, the old light was PLUGGED in, as someone had installed a reg. outlet above the ceiling tiles. My question: Isn't there such a thing as an extension for an outlet box that will hang from the grids of the drop ceiling? I'm sure the grids are sturdy enough as someone has wired them to studs (probably for the other light). I am thinking of using the old plug and wire that I cut off from the old fixture and plug it in and then feed the wire through the outlet box to install my light wires. Will this work? What parts do I need and can I get them at Home Depot? Have I totally confused you so you need pictures??
Thanks for any and all advice! FYI: This is a 100 year old house and it's had many remodels, so the electrical is all up to date.
It's a little difficult to deal with a hanging fixture with a suspended ceiling since you may need to take down the tile (panel) where the fixture will be located at a later date and have to work around the fixture.
Usually you can place a 1x3 across the ribs, above the ceiling tiles, and attach a hook to that to support the light fixture. Another alternative is to fasten a hook to the actual ceiling above with a cable or chain coming down and through the ceiling tile.
Yes you can have a "floating" junction box attached to a Romex cable or flexible conduit coming from an outlet box up on the ceiling. This junction box in turn could be mounted in the ceiling tile where the fixture is located.
Look into Arlington Products.As far as a receptacle above the ceiling,No.
I'm wondering if a t-bar hanger would work?

Mesa, Arizona here. A group starting as only myself quickly grew to over 30 people in less than a day, now currently 458 of us who are officially boycotting Century Link. They are breaking the law and stealing our money under the guise of false customer service and felonious behaviors and ways of upholding business. We currently have just over 17,000 signatures stating we will not be paying our next bill, and that century link is currently under investigation by the FCC for several serious offenses. I will die fighting organizations who attempt to betray the ones they claim to help. and as my group and i prove, im not alone in that cause! either wise up or gtfo centurylink
Phones say "No line" we have no dial tone.
telephone lines are down to our home
Centurylink has the worst service ever. This last seven days we have had no phone or computer, before that we only had service for two day and another week without. Repaired today maybe. Sericeman said squirell damage. We have had this service for a year and a half and the majority of the time it does not work at all. Each and every time a repairman calls us and says it was squirell damage. This story is getting old.

Phone down in Tucson
Internet down means still have to pay, correct? Somehow if I went to the grocery store to buy a dozen eggs and only had eight in the carton, I'd either get four more eggs from the grocer or only pay for eight.
Why do we put up with this BS?
centurylink chat is shit
Down in Seattle and poor customer service rude & lying.
No Internet and no phone service currently
My internet has been going down off and on for two days My favorite is when they tell you that you can chat online yeah right. I go to school online and no exceptions if your assignments are not on time. Because of memorial day no one is there to help . Good job at customer service
Fiber provided by CenturyLink has been down in Hickory, NC for two hours now...... continued problems
internet down all day in medford
I was told this morning by technical support at Centurylink that the problem with "slow" internet is on their end, not mine. Something to do with bandwidth???? They are working on it.
Internet down to the North Mesa area of Los Alamos, NM since 03 April 2016 at 15:00. It's been up at limited capacity for a few hours here and there since then, so they claim that four days with spotty service is not a continuing outage.
Thus far I've had to buy five additional gigs of data and run my cell phone as a hot spot to stay connected.
I cannot login to the quick bill pay screen. I go there and enter my billing phone number as always and then have to wait for an extremely long time. The first few times I did it I got a weird message saying my billing number wasn't right or something and to try again later. I was looking at the bill in my right in my hand so I KNOW the bill number was right lol.After that I tried calling the automated bill pay number or whatever it's called. When it asked for my billing phone number I put it in and waited. I got an answer like before saying there was a problem with that number or it wasn't correct or something. I don't remember exactly lol. Anyways I decided to try it one more time on my computer through the quck bill pay. I put in the number as usual and pressed the next or login button at 4:03 and now finally got a gateway timeout this time at 4:07. Gonna test it again one more time. waiting until exactly 4:08 to start.......there pressed the login button and now we wait once again. Gateway timeout again at 4:12 this time. There is definitely something going on with the centurylink website and it's annoying the hell out of me. I kind of wanted to get my billed paid and done with tonight. Guess I might have to mail it after all :(
This is the worst cable and Internet service I've ever used. Down again, as usual.
Down now Fort Myers,FL and has been up and down for 2 days. Come on centurylink!! You resemble Comcast now!
No Wemail for the past 18 hours....They say it's their problem and they are working on it.....
no live customer service . Garbage speeds for Internet . Can not log in to my e mail . again WHY ?
I'm sorry to have to tell you that our phone is out again.
It seems to only go out when it is snowing or raining.
The first time it went out it was snowing we had just used
the phone. an Hour later it went out. Thinking it was are bast
station since tried all are out lets . and none worked. We
bought a new phone , but it too did not work. Two days
later it came back on. Ever thing was okay. That is tell
it rained. And yes it went out again. This time we where
able to call on a cell phone to let you know it was out again.
but by the time the Technician was able to get here four days
later. It have stop raining things had time to dry out. And
you got it. The phone came back to working again. Go Figure.
Well it has rained again. you guessed it . the phone is out
once again. SORRY. I think we mite need a new line from
the pole to the house. We have Squirrels and there is a splice
in the line because of them.
Your Truly
T.J. Anderson
It had quit raing . It then dryed out and the phone came back
to working again. But today it is snowing , you guess it. The phone is out again.
Sofronio Saludo-spoke with Century Link Tech and reported the problem that my email do not allow typing of script on the email body. He said that they are trying to fix the problem and will email
the resolution for the problem. I had not received the email,
I will call Dish to refund me the payment I made for century link because the email is not working the way it should be.
I have not been able to use the Centurylink home page for months. It simply will not scroll down. I liked this home page, but getting frustrated. Only happens here and on direct news links. ??
Bill pay appears to be down, and the Internet speed in 80014 is abysmal. You really don't have 24/7 tech support and bill pay? Are you kidding me?
Welcome page is working, but nothing but errors trying to login or any other sections of the webpage.
My internet is acting up and i think i either need a new Modem or fix my Internet Connection, One of the two but i paid for quality service and id like it to work,.thank you
I don't have all the stations I normally have (included in my package). Some stations come in fine. I don't understand why some would be inactive suddenly.
My internet is down. I expect it to be working when you say there is nothing wrong. Unacceptable!!
Internet and prism tv down. Every week it's down. Tech support lies and refuses to help. Please use any other cable company.
centurylink keeps making me logon and then refuse my log on data when site had me logged on then. Will not process e mail changes or even
take me to the right place to do my business
Centurylink prism just stopped working. Can't find any info about it on any website.
Internet down all day in Auburn, WA. They can't send out a technician out for 5 days, until Tuesday.
Both website and phone link are down. Payment due in 4 days. CenturyLink, get your stuff together!
I can access my home page {Centurylink) with Google Chrome but get a blue screen (inpage kernel data) when I use Win 11.
CenturyLink is definitely down in Oregon City, OR. Has been since 18:00 hrs.
Can't log into account to pay bill. It just keeps spinning the loading symbol. Been like that for over 10 minutes. I can access any other page on the site, just not my account to pay my bill.
can't get century link page up and can't get my email. It's been a problem for a couple hours.
I can get on my home page but i can't get in my email box and it's been like that over a week now..so why is that will it be fix soon or what?? I pay for this and can't even use all of it!! Fix it please..
I am unable to log to my email account. Says it's unaccessable. No chat or anything to find out what the problem is. Anyone else? It did let me log on to the site though and pay my bill
I can't seem to go anywhere on the internet this morning again. This has been going on for at least a month. Doesn't have the speed it once had. I am not new to issues with Century Link it is all ways the issue just to slow and can't get to the internet. Thank you Century Link you are making my decision much easier of going to another service provider.
I have not been able to log in to my email account (on embarqmail.com) for 10 days, since March 14th. Attempting to log in with my browser, get a message my account is "currently inaccessible." Via Chat, Customer Support rep tells me there is a "company-wide problem" they are trying to get fixed, then proceeds to try and sell me bundled services with DirecTV.
My Century Link was up on Friday but today & yesterday, I can't read my e-mails. It will open the e-mails page up but won't allow me to fully open & read. This is very frustrating. Help!!!
Centurylink.com is down for me right now. Who knows what the problem is this time?
NOT happy. I'm in the 30 day trial period of CenturyLink and my internet/Prism have been down since sometime last night in Henderson. I work online and so my access is vital. I am only online because I haven't disconnected my Cox service yet.
Having problems with notifications and photo downloads, as of yesterday, on my Facebook... never had problems before. Our phone/internet service was down for a few days.
My CenturyLink service is working fine, but centurylink.com is down.
my internet was working fine this morning around 9AM but then at 12PM I couldn't get on but now at 2PM home pages comes up after 3or 4 mins and that is as far as I can go
Today is Jan 11th 2014 I havent gotten a e mail since around 5: 18 Jan 10th all my other services are working... what is going on Centurytel ???
Centerline DSL has been down for most of Caro today, Jan 3, 2014' Caro MI. Your tech support is worthless. Why can't you provide an EST for service repair???
My internet has been down all day! My job is on the internet! I am losing money waiting for it to come back up!!!
For 3 past days in Colorado: Stalls, Errors, Fails and broken chat.: IE or Chrome. Sad online service. Unable to pay bill.
live outside steamboat. service has been intermittent for weeks. no acknowledgment from CL. they always say its your modem
I live in Spring Lake, NC in Anderson creek golf community and we have no service
We in Fort Collins have not had the internet for about a WEEK already. Sucked!
This has been going on for two days. It is either to slow or you can't get on the internet at all. I hope they get this fixed as this is the only internet I have. I guess I have come to the end of the internet. I would hope they get this fixed soon this really upsets me.
Internet has been down today (August 30) and I was told by a tech person that a server box was damaged by yesterday's storm and all of western Washington is affected (although tech person was vague on that, which figures). I'll get an automatic phone call when it is fixed, maybe. So now I have to use wifi elsewhere or at a library terminal where the keyboard is broken, the computer compromised by viruses, and the librarian making constant "shushing" noises in my direction. Century Link owes me.
My ZyXEL PK5000Z (from Centurylink) router goes into an alarm state a few times every day. It seems that I'm getting a new external IP address every time (which makes sense) but that REALLY messes with my DVR and Streaming devices as well as online gaming... I really haven't bothered contact CL directly, due to most other comments here and elsewhe3re, so I'm hoping somebody else can point me in the right direction to get this figured out... thanks :)
mine says it's connected all day, but I am not. I don't know what the problem, I really thing Century Link is having issues, but it's so hard to get a hold of anyone to talk to them about it. This has been happening a lot all month long. :( Very frustrating.
Parts of the MyAccount website have been down for two days, even for the chat/phone reps. I can't make a long distance call and they can't fix it. What lousy service!
Been trying to login for an hour, nothing happens. Waiting on the phone to talk with someone for 20 minutes now, can't get any help. FRUSTRATING. I just want to print my bill.
Very frustrating trying to get a hold of someone, and trying to get on to pay.
I cannot get to any support pages. It just keeps saying "connecting" but never does. This has been tried on two different browsers. I can't even get to the call for support page. Very frustrating and unprofessional!
can't log in to web mail. just cycles back to the log in page over and over. something wrong with home page. not loading all the way.
I am looking for an alternative to century link. Their internet service in Marion County Florida has been very poor lately.
Safari Browser. Starting today, some sites won't load on both my laptop and iphone. Then they do. Intermittent all day. Message : "Safari" can not find server.
Having internet problems in Gardner, KS. Is anyone else? I have tried restarting but still having issues.
Friend in Olive Branch Missouri having horrible problems. Pages won't load, pics won't load if a page does load, can't even read the comments on this page. He asked me to post for him. Internet is intermittent and they are telling him they don't know how to fix it!
Big issue with loading pages, server not found, graphics not loading - intermittent at best but it makes using internet impossible this has been happening for 4 days -- no one seems to know how to fix it!
CenturyLink down at our Sioux City IA site for 5 days. Is there a good alternative or do all carriers suck?
Brief power failure in South Minneapolis, CenturyLink down ever since. June 19th 10:30pm
DSL internet service off and on, mostly off since yesterday morning in northern Arkansas.
off and on service for past 3 days in 28312 area.. local office tells me there are no problems... don't believe them for a second
My e-mail will not connect to send e-mail and I can not log on the the centurylink.com website with either of my pc's.
Thursday I spoke to Century Link and they advised that they had suffered an internet connection failure and had been down for fifteen hours. I was told yesterday that as soon as they were on-line they would e-mail me and I would have to disconnect my router for 5 minutes and then re-connect. Well, now it has been 30 hours and I am still waiting...Obviously they don't have the expertise in there Internet Division to fix the problem.. Maybe they should contact a competitor and ask for assistance.. Lol
I am receiving an 10.5.1 500 Internal Server Error when I attempt to log in
Centurylink is down at 2:00 pm 5/15. This is one of the worst websites ever, and NM PRC won't do a thing about it.
It was down all morning May 15 in my area, ABq New Mexico, 87122 - just came back up now.
Well im just glad they are back up and running. I have been with centurylink since 1994 and this is my first outage it could not be helped by Centurylink it was some dumbo digging
Have had Century Link HS Internet since October and this morning was my first outage. Lasted about 10 hours.
Internet was down for 8 hours today in Wisconsin for Centurytel. I heard it was a multi-state outage.
Was down for 7 hours for me. Started calling 3.5 hours ago; all phone numbers were busy, or if you could get through, it would disconnect trying to transfer to customer service or it would disconnect trying to access customer records. Finally got through about 15 minutes ago, was advised the entire CL network was down [DNS issues] and no eta. Interestingly enough 10 minutes after I called, 'net service came back. Now time for a phone call to customer service to get a credit for outage and inability to even contact DL via phone.
been out at husbands garage in southwest VA all morning. I tried for 3 hours to get through to CS, but only got busy signal. did get through 1 time and gave up after being on hold 30 min. be nice to have some info and answers. especially since business relies on it.
Been down in Las Vegas, NV since 1:09am. Sure glad I can use my HotSpot to connect.
Unable to get through to CenturyLink, long holds in between maybe having phone issues internally too.
Our internet won't work. Neither do the customer service phone lines. They just do not work, as in they do not even ring, or the lines that work, just send me to a busy signal. Are there solar flares or something?
Down for us in suburb of Madison, WI. I was told that it would take up to 24 hours for restoration. Starting to get shakes from internet withdrawal...
Page is saying the problem is my own as well, working from starbucks!!!
Internet connection via Embarq DSL has been down this morning (past 3 hours at least ) in our home in the Crawfordville, FL area. Can't reach customer service.
They're telling me it's due to power outages around the country?? WTF.
This is the only page on the entire internet I can actually access... yet it tells me the problem is me, not Centurylink.
Just chatted with a Century Link rep and their entire system is down. Their phone system is going haywire and download/upload speeds are pitiful. No news on exact problem or projected repair time. :(
I can't get the page to open and when I used my CenturyLink e-mail on a internet retail site they said I needed a valid e-mail address.
We were down for 6 hours in Cape Coral April 21, 2013 Sunday from approximately 8pm Sunday night to 2 AM Monday morning. If they're going to schedule maintenance (?), then tell us. Needless to say, we won't be buying their combo TV/Internet/Phone service.
unable to log into site. It says my account is not accessible at this time so the site and email must be down
I really do not believe that I should have to reset the router at least ten times a week. We have actually gone 48 hours without a reset. That is a rare occurrence. Usually we reset 1-3 times per day.
Can't log in to web page. Don't even get an error code for incorrect login. Tried changing passwords and no luck. Site it down so no access to bill online.
Century Link down in Washington since Feb. 19th. Still down now as of Feb 21st, 9:30am. Voice Mail says 5pm today it should be back up? Anyone know why?
In Lexington, VA my DSL from CenturyLink has been out on Tuesday Feb 5, 2013 since 11:40AM or so EST and is still out at 3:38PM. Phone call to tech support says it will be out until about noon on Feb 6th. Thank goodness I have a 3 G device or I would be offline and not earning money.
Seriously starting to consider finding a new ISP. Did a speed test and got this (this has been a problem since I woke up this morning):

|Spending Smarts: Think Before You Buy!
Did you know that tweens in the U.S. spend about $15 billion of their own money each year? Yikes! That's a lot of dough. But do you spend it SMART? Do you identify with any of these IML'ers?
"I only buy something if it's on sale," says Tamara, 12. "I like the feeling of knowing I got something cool for less money than someone else did."
Luke, 11, told us: "If it's something I really want, and I want it at that moment, I'll just pay whatever price it is. I'm not patient enough to shop around."
"I think I'm good with shopping for clothes and stuff," says Laci, 13, "but I spend a lot on food every week. You can't really get food on sale!"
Cooper, 12, admits that "I buy things too fast. I don't usually think about whether or not I really need or want something until after I bring it home."
Being a young person doesn't have to mean being confused when it comes to the how's, what's, when's, and where's of spending money. IML is here to help you...

Xbox 360,
Rating: 4.5/5
The Grand Theft Auto games are entertaining stories, but the intoxicating freedom offered in their digital playgrounds ensures the most compelling tales are usually created by the player, whether vigilante, stunt driver, fugitive or mischief-maker.
Crackdown believes so firmly in the ability of players to make their own fun that it almost entirely dispenses with a plot and mission structure. Your only directive as a law-enforcing agent is to defeat 21 gang bosses, and you have astonishing autonomy in how you complete your task.
Players also have wonderful freedom in the manner in which they gradually improve their supercop skills and equipment - including their driving, agility, strength, firearms and explosives. Maximising agility and strength is arguably the most pleasurable and offers super-human capabilities. Hurling huge objects and scaling towering buildings, then leaping from rooftop to rooftop, is fantastic fun.
Achievement Point tasks also encourage mischievous experimentation. Players are rewarded for activities such as juggling objects in the air using explosive propulsion, spectacular vehicle stunts, climbing to the top of the colossal agency tower and base jumping.
The whereabouts of gang leaders in the three interconnected districts are initially secret, but basic exploration is rewarded by the agency revealing their exact locations on a helpful map.
Most bosses require players to break into a heavily protected compound, dispatching waves of armed goons, before tackling the crime lord. Each of the three Pacific City districts also has a kingpin. Waltzing into a leader's lair without weakening them by taking out their lieutenants is usually suicide, but those wanting a serious challenge are certainly free to try.
And whether you are tooling around with a giant bowling ball or bringing a mob boss to justice in record time, Xbox Live support lets two friends run riot side by side.

Hi everyone! Britt here. I'm so excited to share my first post on the Capturing Magic blog!
Did you guys know I host a photo-a-day challenge on Instagram? I DO! And it's for Disney fans! We started back in August, so it's been going on for a little over 3 months now. Each word prompt is inspired by something Disney related. But the challenge is totally open for interpretation.
Basically all you have to do is use the daily prompts to take a photo and share it anywhere you'd like – Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, your blog, etc. Wherever you like to share your photos and make sure to always tag your photos with #disneyfanphotoaday.
This is December's list:
Follow me on instagram (@designerbrittney) to get the lists each month.
One of the coolest parts about Disney Fan Photo-A-Day is how many different ways there are to play along!
Some people post photos from past Disney trips that relate to the daily prompts. I think this is a really fun way to relive past trips, enjoy your trip photos more, and bring the magic of the parks into your everyday life.
Some people post only Disney related photos taken in their day-to-day life. This is a really fun way to document the Disney that's all around you. You'll be surprised how much Disney a Disney Fan can find in their surroundings.
The way I personally do it, is I just look at the prompt each day and take a photo that coordinates with it, no matter if its Disney or not. Often times, it ends up being Disney-ish, but mostly its just an everyday picture from my life. I like to do it this way, because its a fun way to take photos and document life. But it has a little Disney magic twist in there, knowing the prompts are Disney inspired!
I have a BIG CONFESSION!!! I got SUPER busy over the last couple weeks and got really behind. I was a totaly Disney Fan Photo-a-Day SLACKER!! But I'm back on track now! But guess what, I don't even care. The fun of a photo-a-day is that there aren't really rules. Who cares if I missed a few days. It's not the end of the world. Just jump back in when you feel like it and HAVE FUN! It's all about having some Disney Fan fun!
**TIP!! Putting the list on your lock screen is a great way to keep it somewhere handy to find the prompts each day. It'll also help remind you take your daily photo!
Think outside the box!! Make your shots purrrrdy. Who knows, you might even become a better iPhoneographer.
I put together collages from months I've done in the past. I'll share them with you guys so you can get an idea of how I do my Disney Fan Photo-A-Day!
Looking back at my month's photos makes me smile from ear to ear.
I'm also planning to use my photo-a-day pics for my Instagram Installation! I think it would be so fun to see an entire month of #disneyfanphotoaday all printed and hung up together!!
Hope you'll play along! Don't forget to tag those photos with #disneyfanphotoaday. And tell all your Disney Geek friends to play too while you're at it!

Luke 8 Outline
– Jesus tells the parable of the sower (Luke 8:1-15)
– Shining your light to others (Luke 8:16-18)
– Those who do God's will is Jesus' mother and brothers (Luke 8:19-21)
– Jesus rebukes the storm (Luke 8:22-25)
– Jesus cast out the demons from a man at Gerasenes (Luke 8:26-39)
– Jesus raised a dead girl to life (Luke 8:40-56)
Luke 8 Bible Study
In Luke 8:1-15, Jesus told the parable of the sower to the people. The parable of the sower is about a sower who went out into the field to sow seeds. As he sow the seed, some seed fell along the path, some fell on rocky places, some fell among the thorns and some fell on a good soil. The seed is the gospel message. The field represents the people who hears the gospel message. The seeds that fall along the path are those that hear the gospel message but did not have faith so the gift of eternal life was stolen by the devil. The seeds that fall on the rocky places are those that have accepted the gospel message but did not have enough foundation so they fall away. The seeds that fall among the thorns are those that are worried about the things of this life and fall away from God. The seeds that fall on good soil are those that believe in the gospel message and serve God wholeheartedly. Jesus said that he tell the message of the kingdom of God in parable so that those that hear will not understand. Only with the help of the Holy Spirit, you can understand the word of God.
In Luke 8:16-18, Christians must shine their light on others. They must preach the gospel to the non believers that they can come to faith in Christ. If you know the word of God, you should teach it to others so that they can be edified. Nothing can be hidden from God. On the judgment day, God will judge us accordingly to what we have done on earth.
In Luke 8:19-21, Jesus' mother and brothers were looking for him and someone told Jesus about it. Then, Jesus said his mother and brothers are those that do God's will. We must not only say with our mouth that we will do God's will but we must demonstrate it in our lives.
In Luke 8:22-25, a storm came up when Jesus and his disciples were in the boat. The storm caused the boat to be flooded with water. When the disciples saw this, they were frightened and they woke Jesus up. Jesus rebuked the storm and it dies down. It is important that we trust in God in everything we ask for. If you trust in God, God will always give you what you ask for in prayer provided that you ask in accordance to his will.
In Luke 8:26-39, Jesus arrived at Gerasenes, which is the other side of the Lake of Galilee. When Jesus asked the evil spirit his name, he answered legion. The evil spirit has taken hold of the man so that he control his behavior. The evil spirits begged Jesus not to send them to the abyss. There was a herd of pigs feeding nearby and Jesus commanded them to get out of the man. There were about 2,000 pigs feeding nearby (Mark 5:13). The evil spirits entered into the pigs. The pigs suddenly lost control of themselves. They rushed down into the river and were drowned. The man wanted to follow Jesus but Jesus would not allow him. He asked him to go home and tell this testimony to others. Christians should use their authorities to rebuke the evil spirits in the name of Jesus. When you rebuke the evil spirits in the name of Jesus, you must have faith so that they will come out. If Jesus had healed you, you must give testimony so that others can come to faith in Christ through your testimony.
In Luke 8:40-56, the daughter of synagogue ruler named Jairus was ill and he came to ask Jesus to heal her. As Jesus was coming to the house of Jairus, a woman who had suffered from bleeding for 12 years came up to touch the edge of the cloak of Jesus and was healed. The woman thought to herself that if she just touch the edge of Jesus' cloak, she would have been healed. Because of her faith, she was healed from her bleeding illness. Jesus knew someone touched him and power has gone out from him. The woman admitted touching Jesus. Jesus told her that her faith has healed her. There is nothing impossible when you have faith in God. When Jesus was still speaking, someone informed Jairus that his daughter is dead. Jesus told Jairus not to be afraid but trust in God and she will be healed. Jesus got rid of everyone from the house except his three disciples including Peter, James and John, and the mother and father of the child. The crowd laughed at Jesus but Jesus took the girl by the hand and commanded her to get up. Immediately, the girl was raised from the dead.

Process modelling and control of pulse gas metal arc welding of aluminum
Posinasetti, Praveen (2007) Process modelling and control of pulse gas metal arc welding of aluminum. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
Praveen Posinasetti Thesis
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Recent developments in materials and material joining [specifically Aluminum and Pulse Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW-P) technology] have increased the scope and extent of their areas of application. However, stern market demand for the improved weld quality necessitates the need for automation of the welding processes. As a result, improvements in the process parameter feedback, sensing and control, are necessary to successfully develop the automated control technology for the welding processes. Hence, several aspects of the GMAW-P process have been investigated in this study in order to improve its control techniques.
Welding was conducted on 6XXX aluminium, using 1.2 mm diameter 4047 aluminum electrode and argon shielding gas. An extensive collection of high speed camera pictures were taken over a wide range of pulse parameters and wire feed rates using a xenon shadowgraph setup to improve understanding of the physics of GMAW-P process. Current and voltage signals were recorded concurrently too.
This investigation explores the effects of different process parameters namely pulsing parameters (Peak current (IP), Base Current (IB), Peak time (TP), Base Time (TB)) and wire feed rate on metal transfer phenomena in GMAW-P. Number of drops per pulse, arc length and droplet diameter were measured for aluminium electrodes by high speed videography. The pulsing parameters and wire feed rate were varied to investigate their effect on the metal transfer behaviour. Analysis showed that transition between the different metal transfer modes is strongly influenced by the electrode extension. Lower electrode extension reduced the number of droplets detached per pulse, while at higher electrode extension, spray mode is observed due to increased influence of the resistance heating.
Analysis of the current and voltage signals were correlated with the high speed films. A simple derivative filter was used to detect the sudden changes in voltage difference associated with metal transfer during GMAW-P. The chosen feature for detection is the mean value of the weld current and voltage. A new algorithm for the real time monitoring and classification of different metal transfer modes in GMAW-P has been developed using voltage and current signals. The performance of the algorithm is assessed using experimental data. The results obtained from the algorithm show that it is possible to detect changes in metal transfer modes automatically and on-line.
Arc stability in the GMAW-P has a close relationship with the regularity of metal transfer, which depends on several physical quantities (like voltage, current, materials, etc.) related to the growth and transfer of the metal droplet. Arc state in GMAW-P can be assessed quantitatively in terms of number of drops per pulse, droplet diameter and arc length. In order to assess the arc state in GMAW-P quantitatively, statistical and neural network models for number of drops/pulse, droplet diameter and arc length were developed using different waveform factors extracted from the current waveform of GMAW-P. To validate the models, estimated results were compared to the actual values of the number of drops per pulse, droplet diameter and arc length, observed during several welding conditions.
Determination of stable one drop per pulse (ODPP) parametric zone containing all the combinations of peak current (IP), base current (IB), peak time (TP), and base time (TB) that results in stable operation of GMAW-P, is one of the biggest challenges in GMAW-P. A new parametric model to identify the stable ODPP condition in aluminium which also considers the influence of the background conditions and wire feed has been proposed.
Finally, a synergic control algorithm for GMAW-P process has been proposed. Synergic algorithm proposed in this work uses the sensing and prediction techniques to analyse state of the arc and correct the pulsing parameters for achieving the stable ODPP. First arc state is estimated using the signal processing techniques and statistical methods to detect the occurrence of short circuit, unstable ODPP or multiple drops per pulse (MDPP) in GMAW-P system. If the arc state is not stable ODPP, then parametric model and genetic algorithm (GA) is used to assess the deviation of the existing pulsing parameters from the stable operation of GMAW-P process and automatically adjust pulsing parameters to achieve stable ODPP.

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post so if I'm in the wrong spot, please let me know.
My new to me 2010 SRX has a few pretty bad scratches on the "chrome" of the rim. I'm wondering if anyone has had any success repairing them or at least minimizing their appearance. The finish has been scratched off, revealing the plastic or whatever it is that's underneath.
Thanks so much for any suggestions!

It has been argued that the origins of modern creative industries policies can be found in Australia. The Creative Nation national cultural policy statement released by the Labor government headed by the Prime Minister Paul Keating in 1994 sought an original synthesis of arts and media policies that was outwardly looking, identifying the opportunities presented by what were then new digital media technologies, and clearly stated the economic opportunities presented by promotion of what were referred to at the time as the cultural industries.
Several commentators have identified the influence that Creative Nation had on the Blair Labour government when it came to power in the United Kingdom in 1997. Faced with the question of how to revitalise the once-mighty industrial cities of the U.K. after the Conservative government, the Department of Culture, Media and Sport drew upon policy documents such as Australia's Creative Nation, as well as the experience of local governments in these cities, in looking to the cultural sectors to spearhead new jobs growth, as well as re-branding the cities as cultural or creative cities in a post-industrial economic landscape. This growing alignment of culture and economics, that has been a characteristic of creative industries policies as they have developed in Australia, Britain, East Asia and Europe, marks an interesting shift in the traditional focus of arts and cultural policy as compensatory to the economic domain. The first Chair of what would become the Arts Council of Great Britain (now the Arts Council of England) was the famous economist John Maynard Keynes. In the First Annual Report of the Arts Council for 1945-1946, prepared in the latter stages of the Second World War, Keynes proposed that "the day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems — the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behaviour and religion".
1994年工黨執政時期澳洲總理基挺(Paul Keating)發表創意的國家(The Creative Nation)的文化政策聲明堪稱是澳洲現代創意產業的起源,該聲明試圖將藝術與媒體政策結合在一起,其目的在面向海外,為新數位媒體技術尋找機會。聲明中明確指出要推動文化產業為經濟帶來機會。「文化政策也是經濟政策。文化創造財富與附加價值,對創新、行銷與設計有重要貢獻,是我們工業的標誌(badge)。我們創意的層次實際上決定了我們適應新經濟imperatives的能力。文化本身就是項重要出口,是其他產品出口的主要附件(essential accompaniment)。文化吸引觀光與學生,也是我們經濟成功之關鍵。」 創意產業的策略是構建藝術、媒體與資訊電信科技的網絡以利文化產業在國家創新政策策略中擁有一席之地。此一策略最早是由1990年代末英國布萊爾(Tony Blair)的新工黨政府所採行,其後歐洲聯盟、澳洲、紐西蘭、新加坡、台灣、南韓與中國。

CTY will be a world leader in the education of all pre-collegiate students of high academic ability.
To recognize and develop the world's brightest minds.
The Center for Talented Youth began with a seventh grade boy from Baltimore who had exhausted all the options for math courses he could take at school by the time he was thirteen. Julian Stanley, a professor of psychology at Johns Hopkins, worked with this boy to arrange access to challenging math courses so the boy could develop his academic talents. In 1979 Dr. Stanley and Johns Hopkins founded The Center for Talented Youth in response to the national need to recognize and develop the world's brightest young minds.
Today, CTY is accredited for grades K through 12 by the Middle States Association of College and Schools Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools. The CTY Summer Programs served over 9,450 students in 2012, and courses through CTY Online Programs counted over 13,000 annual enrollments. CTY students hail from all neighborhoods and many nations, and our alumni include the cofounder of Google, the CEO of Facebook, and leaders in the sciences, arts, government, and all professions.
Since 1979, CTY has expanded to offer a wide range of gifted and talented academic opportunities. CTY's focus is to be a leader in the education of advanced learners worldwide, to open access to CTY's opportunities for top students from all backgrounds, and to originate and communicate research on recognizing and developing the talents of students of great academic promise.

More Info
The santoku is an Asian-inspired knife that many cooks have recently added to their kitchen favorites. A knife of many talents, the Shun Sora Santoku easily handles all the basic kitchen cutting tasks. In fact, some people even prefer it to a chef's knife. Slightly shorter than the standard chef's knife, the Shun Sora Santoku is light, agile, and very easy to maneuver. The downturned tip is typical of a santoku. A slight belly curve enables you to rock the blade slightly and makes this santoku very easy to use and very versatile.
An Asian-style multi-purpose kitchen knife
Hand-sharpened 16° double-bevel blade (32° comprehensive)
Steel: Proprietary Composite Blade Technology; VG10 san mai cutting core; Japanese 420J blade upper
VG10 is clad with one layer of stainless steel on each side to create the san mai edge and provide stain resistance
Handle: Traditional Japanese handle design in easy-care, textured TPE
Blade length: 7 in. (17.8 cm)
Handcrafted in Japan
Product Reviews for Shun Sora Santoku Knife 7 in. (17.8 cm) Blade
The Sora knife line uses Shun's proprietary Composite Blade technology to bring together a VG10 san mai cutting edge with a Japanese 420J stainless steel upper. This technology puts high-performance material exactly where it's needed—on the edge. The two blade sections are laser cut, then fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Braze welding permanently joins them. The attractive wavy pattern at the joint is based on traditional Japanese sword hamon lines. While Sora's blade shapes and handle design are traditional Japanese, the textured PP/TPE polymer blend handle material provides a contemporary look, secure grip and balance, and is easy to maintain.

Cancer Research Team Lands Wisconsin's Only 'Provocative Questions' Grant
Media Inquiries
UW Carbone Cancer Center
For Researchers
Follow Us
Madison, Wisconsin - A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center was the only group of scientists in Wisconsin to receive a grant from a new National Cancer Institute program aimed at answering "provocative questions."
Research scientist Richard Halberg, oncologist William Schelman, and surgeon Greg Kennedy will use a two-year $360,000 grant to investigate if there is a way to tell if non-malignant lesions found in a colonoscopy will progress to invasive or metastatic colorectal cancer.
The answer could help identify patients at higher risk for developing colon cancer at screening and could also reduce the need for aggressive treatment of such lesions if there is no risk of progression to cancer.
Halberg, Schelman, and Kennedy received the grant under the new Provocative Questions initiative, which is designed to fund major unsolved or neglected problems in oncology. The NCI got 750 applications and awarded only 50 grants.
The UW Carbone Cancer Center study of non-malignant lesions found in colorectal-cancer screening is a nagging, important question that needs more attention, according to NCI director Harold Varmus.
"Not all lesions detected early are worth treating. But uncertainties about the behavior of a non-malignant lesion often lead to more aggressive treatment than may be warranted," said Halberg.
The team noted that better understanding of lesions could help identify those with the potential to develop into invasive or metastatic cancer. Finally, the research could also help clinicians to communicate to patients the risks and benefits of treatment options.
Under Varmus' leadership, the NCI created the Provocative Questions initiative, which identified 24 questions, which if answered, could lead to significant research advances. The NCI set aside $22 million to fund research on 20 of the questions.

You could run them both on identical machines/inputs and check the
timings. You might also want to read what Mark Sofroniou said about this
five years ago (in response to your similar post back then).
His point remains unchanged. Not knowing then about Mark's posts, I also
wrote a bit about this in 2001:
But what Mark said is most relevant here. In essence, the method in
Maeder's code is a good divide-and-conquer, based on doubling
recurrences in Fibonacci numbers. This is much faster than anything
based on the linear recurrences, as it takes advantage of asymptotically
fast multiplication.

Which caliber? I liked the P239, personally, although I am a Sig fanatic, too. LOL! But it comes in 9MM, 357SIG, and 40S&W. Which one are you considering?
I have a P3AT for my CCW. I'm not real fond of it, and have been looking at the Sig. I now it is larger, heavier, larger capacity, and a better caliber. I want to know what everyones opinion of the P239 is. Thanks in advance.

Which caliber? I liked the P239, personally, although I am a Sig fanatic, too. LOL! But it comes in 9MM, 357SIG, and 40S&W. Which one are you considering?
I'm not sure. 9mm for the cost factor? 40 SW for stopping power, but how manageable is the recoil. My Keltec is harsh, no fun to shoot. If it isn't fun I won't do it.
I enjoyed the 9MM, but I am usually the one at work who has to deal with the customers bringing back the 40s and 357s. So I enjoy shooting them as well. The 40 and the 357 will get you to alter your stance a good deal if you don't shoot normally in a stance that will control it. Both rounds are very snappy. You will most definetly feel it and you will probably need to adjust your stance to gain control. Making sure you aren't leaning backwards at all, even slightly, is the first step. But they are both really good rounds in that gun and a lot of fun to shoot. I find them both to be very accurate and easily controled, but as I said, you need just the right stance to achieve that. It's nothing unnatural, but standing head on with the gun probably won't do it. I'd give them a try.
+1 With Sucklead. The key to any defence gun is training, and practice. That will be your advantage over the BG.
I have a P239 in 40 S&W and it feels like a heavy block in my hand. Its performance has been very good but I really do not like this Sig and Sigs in general. I am honest when I say I prefer Glocks and the Glock 19/23 especially. Regards, Richard
P239 advantages, as I see 'em:
* Slim grip.
* Very reliable.
* Good sights.
* Decent SA trigger (though usually with lots of overtravel).
* Good holster availability.
* High bore axis.
* Lousy DA pull, and "crunchenticker" transition to SA pull.
* Long trigger reset.
* Holds fewer BBs than some other guns of similar size.
* Positioning of slide release can impede "The Grip."
It's a good pistol. However, if I were already accustomed to the P3AT's manual of arms and wanted a single-stack compact 9mm/.40, I would look very closely at a Kahr K- or P-series pistol. It's DAO like the P3AT, slimmer than the P239, and has a far better DA trigger.
A Sig is not one of the most recoil friendly guns out there. They are, however, very reliable.
Sig has a very high bore axis as does the H&K USP's (I carry a .40 USP Compact) which means you're going to deal with more recoil than you will with any striker fired gun such as the S&W M&P, S.A. XD, Glock, Styer, Walther etc. etc.
Enlighten me some more on this subject.
Guns that do well in speed shooting all have low bore axes. Examples of common guns with low bore axes would be the 1911, Browning Hi-Power, Glocks, and the CZ75. Examples of guns with higher bore axes would be most SIGs, HK USP/P2000 series, Berettas, and the Springfield XD.
Bore axis is just one criteria for choosing a gun, of course.
To me, a high bore axis isn't that much of an issue in 9mm as it is in a higher caliber.
The P99 has a somewhat high bore axis - I feel more flip in the gun than in other guns. But I still love the grip and accuracy in the gun, and w/ the 9mm, its not big deal.
S&W makes a 45 cal version of their cloned P99 - I don't think I'd wanna fire that.
And, as for the Beretta, the frame sucks up a lot of the recoil, so I've always felt the the 92FS is one of the softest shooting 9mms around, if not the softest.
It's simple physics (What an oxymoron).
The closer the recoil is to your hand the better "control push" you can create.
A good way to get the idea of how bore axis works is to do what I do with my students. Take a broom handle, ball bat, or whatever kind of stick you may have that is approx. 3 feet long and hold it at one end pointing up and out in front of you at a 45 degree angle. Now, have someone else push on it toward you out at the other end and you'll find it very difficult to resist but have them push on it toward you down close to your hands and you can resist easier.
This is how bore axis works.
Bore axis? Are we talking in millimeters? Or can a newcomer spot the difference in different guns?
To get an idea of low versus high bore axis, go to your neighborhood gun shop and hold a few low bore axis guns like a Glock 17/22, CZ75, Browning P35, or a 1911 with a "high sweep" grip safety. Then hold a high bore axis gun like a Beretta 92, HK USP, or SIG P226. The difference should be pretty apparent, assuming you know how to take a proper high grip on a pistol.
Again, bore axis is not the sole criteria for choosing a pistol. Many good shooters prefer guns with higher bore axes, presumably trading that for other features they like. I personally prefer guns with low bore axes and short trigger resets, which makes me gravitate toward Glocks and 1911s.
I must admit, I've been around firearms for many years and believe it or not, I never heard the term "bore axis". Once I started reading posts on gun forums that term was popping up. Thanks so much to the members for explaining what in the world that means. So, now I know my Sigs have a high bore axis. Oh well, you gotta have something.
+1 for what Mike said. My Kahr P9 is big enough to get a grip on, has a great DA trigger and relatively low bore axis. Great CC gun.
FWIW Dept:
I purchased my Sig P239 a decade or so ago when they were first released on the market.. It has ALWAYS been 100% reliable, and VERY accurate at self defense range.
I'm a senior citizen, declining vision, shaky hands, etc. but the Sig P239 w/Crimson Trace Lasergrips will put 'em in the black all day long for me.
I have never had a better pistol.. Period.
Either now, or in the past I have had in 9mm:
Belgian Browning HP/Star BM/S&W 3913/Bersa Thunder 9/UC/ Chinese Tokarev/Taurus PT92/KelTec P11/Walther P1 & Walther P5 plus probably some others I've forgotten along the "three score and ten" highway....
With the exception of the Tokarev and the Taurus each one of those listed have been very good pistols in one respect or another.. But none, overall, have equalled the sweet Sig P239.
I have recently ordered a new Walther P99c/AS in my constant search for a Sig P239 "beater", but haven't shot it yet, and I'll be tremendously surprised if it can top the Sig...
I think the Sig P239 is one of the best compact single stack 9mm pistols ever.
Best Wishes,
J. Pomeroy

These policies are not an authorization or explanation of benefits. Blue Cross of Idaho retains the right to add to, delete from and otherwise modify this policy in accordance with our provider contracts
If we detect a claim overpayment or recoupment situation, we will automatically credit previously processed Blue Cross of Idaho claims on your remittance advice. The remittance advice will specify the credit and date of the original payment.
- Blue Cross of Idaho prefers that providers not return overpayments for services given to our members. Overpayments are recouped on future remittance advices. We may send back any money your return for an overpayment on a claim.
- Blue Cross of Idaho may credit or recoup routine claim overpayments up to 12 months from the last payment date. If a provider or member contract specifies a time frame other than 12 months, the contract requirements apply. Example: FEP, ASC accounts.
- Due to contracted risk arrangements with some managed care networks, claims needing an overpayment adjustment for managed care contracts must be recouped on a remittance advice. We will return overpayments sent to Blue Cross of Idaho to the provider and credit the remittance advice.
ASC Accounts - Providers returning money to Blue Cross of Idaho with the overpayment form may not see a credit on a remittance advice if the refund is for an ASC policy that has passed the claims run out period.
Host - If Blue Cross of Idaho is the host, or local plan, we will initiate an adjustment request to the processing site or home plan. If the processing site approves the adjustment request, we will indicate the adjustment on your remittance advice. Not all processing plans can complete an adjustment on one remittance advice. If this is the case, you may see a debit on one remittance and a reissue on a future remittance.
Note: Providers returning money or requesting money be recouped on the remittance advice due to third party liability payment for BlueCard claims will need to provide name, address, and phone number of Third Party Carrier. In addition, please provide a case/claim number assigned by third party carrier. Blue Cross of Idaho communicates this information to the member's home plan.
Providers accepting two payments: Two payments [coordination of benefit (COB), third party liability (TPL), Worker's Compensation or audits as allowed under the provider's contract] are not routine overpayments and can be recouped/credited outside the 12-month period.
- If you carry forward a credit balance for 90 days, Blue Cross of Idaho may send a letter requesting a refund to clear the credit balance.
- Blue Cross of Idaho may not be able to credit your remittance in some situations. When returning an overpayment, use the attached form to ensure we appropriately apply your credit. In some cases, Blue Cross of Idaho may send an overpayment letter requesting the return of a previous remittance payment.
