Nailing Jello to a Tree: The Wit and Wisdom of Al Kresta
August 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
It was the fall of 1987. I was heading southward on I-75, driving home from my job in downtown Detroit and listening to "Talk From the Heart" on evangelical radio station WMUZ-FM. The show was hosted by Al Kresta, then pastor of a small non-denominational church, Shalom Ministries.As I crossed the Rouge River Bridge, I heard Al say, "You know, we'd like to find a producer for the show—someone who can answer the phones, screen callers, line up some interview guests….""Wow!"

Introduction of resource-saving technologies for the sustainable development of irrigated agriculture
PDF English | PDF Russian
Ashgabat, 21 October 2013 – A two-day workshop on introducing the technology of laser leveling of irrigated land was held within the framework of the UNDP project of Climate Risk Management in Turkmenistan. The main purpose of the workshop was to increase the capacity of local communities and develop South-South cooperation as a key mechanism in sharing expertise, experience and information.The workshop was organized with the assistance of Climate Risk Management in Uzbekistan project, representatives of UNDP Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. The experts of the project of Addressing climate change risks to farming systems in Turkmenistan at national and community level funded by Adaptation Fund and farmers of three pilot regions – Nohur, Bokurdak and Sakarchaga participated into the workshop.During the workshop the presentations on project activity in Kazakhstan and modern approaches to reducing climate risks in terms of water saving were performed. The participants discussed the issues related to the development of agricultural sector in Turkmenistan and farms of the pilot regions.Uzbek specialists shared their experiences in organizing and carrying out an integrated planning of irrigated land in Uzbekistan and discussed practical technology applied by farm enterprises. The local coordinators of the pilot regions noted the need of further development of such cooperation to introduce applicable technologies such as laser planning in Turkmenistan and to pilot other water and resource-saving technologies, including drip irrigation in the foothill areas, agrotechnical and drainage activities for creating optimal meliorative mode of soils in the flat lands.Following this workshop, Climate Risk Management in Turkmenistan project is planning to hold a round table meeting in early November with representatives of Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Water resources to support testing and further dissemination of practice in Turkmenistan.The UNDP Central Asia Multi-Country Programme on Climate Risk Management (CA-CRM) has been implemented since 2011 in all five Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.The aim of the project in Turkmenistan is to increase resilience of agricultural and livestock communities through more effective Climate Risk Management assessment and risk information provision.

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to be without wide receiver Riley Cooper until at least the start of the regular season. That's because the third-year pro suffered a fractured left collarbone during Saturday's practice. The incident occurred when Cooper went up for a deep pass and came down hard.
"I think it's a bump in the road," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said. "[Cooper will] recover from it. He's had a good offseason and because he's had that offseason he's gotten a lot of reps ... and gotten stronger and got more knowledge of our system and that will benefit him when he's ready to come back."
Cooper caught 16 passes for 315 yards whille playing in all 16 games last season.
Fantasy Analysis:
No official timetable has been set for Cooper, but he's probably going to be out for six weeks.
Cooper had a few nice games in the middle of last season while Jeremy Maclin was out of the lineup. But with Maclin healthy, and DeSean Jackson seemingly ready to act more like a winner than a whiner this year, Cooper is an afterthought for fantasy owners. Sixth-round rookie Marvin McNutt now looks to have the inside track on becoming the Eagles' No. 4 WR behind Jason Avant.

Tips / dealing with family and friends judging you
- newyear44
- California City, CA
- Last updated: 6 months ago
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with family or friends who are completely against plastic surgery? I want a nose job, I am 25 have saved up enough and have done all my research the only thing holding me back is my family. They are 150% against surgery and every time I try and bring it up I feel as though I am attacked. I have been accused of being vain, that I will become addicted to surgery and that "everyone gets bullied in school just get over it". I know they love me and don't mean to hurt me. I think they are so quick to be horrible to me about it as they are trying shock/bully me out of doing it. I have tried bringing it up to discuss a couple of times but they have said they don't want to talk about it. Times I have probed so that they would talk about it I end up in tears. I know I am old enough to do it, I just would feel so much more better about doing it with their respect or understanding. I think I would feel very alone and vulnerable especially in recovery if I haven't resolved this issue before I get surgery...any tips/advice will be appreciated! :)

Panda Bear
Noah Lennox adopted the name Panda Bear in the late '90s, when he drew a picture of a panda on one of his first bedroom studio recordings. He grew up in Maryland and Pennsylvania, went to college at Boston University, and eventually found his way to New York City, where he met his future Animal Collective bandmates Avey Tare, Geologist, and Deakin. In addition to his work with Animal Collective, Jane, and Together, Lennox has released several solo albums. In 1999, while Lennox and Avey Tare were still in the earliest stages of what would grow to be known as Animal Collective, the first solo collection of Panda Bear material arrived on an obscure self-titled release on indie label Soccer Star. The electronica-pop recordings were miles away from the more spectral folk weirdness Lennox would explore over the next several years. Materializing in 2004, his more widely distributed second solo album, Young Prayer, was a murky, largely wordless free-folk album influenced by the death of his father. That year, Lennox moved to Lisbon, Portugal, where he met fashion designer Fernanda Pereira while on vacation; the two subsequently married and started a family.
Person Pitch, Lennox's third album and second on the Paw Tracks label, followed three years later. The album was a patchwork of repurposed samples and densely layered vocals, and not only met enormous popularity and critical acclaim, but went on to be incredibly influential on the entire indie spectrum. Lennox guested on recordings by Atlas Sound, Pantha du Prince, Taken by Trees, and Ducktails, and remixed the Notwist's song "Boneless." For his next solo album, Lennox made the decision to move away from samplers toward a more guitar-heavy sound. Working with producer Sonic Boom, Lennox released his fourth solo album, Tomboy, on Paw Tracks in 2011. He continued racking up guest appearances, collaborating with Zomby, Teengirl Fantasy, and Daft Punk, whose 2013 album Random Access Memories (containing the Panda Bear-featuring "Doin' It Right") won the 2014 Grammy for Album of the Year.
In October of 2014, Panda Bear released a new EP, Mr. Noah. The EP's title track also appeared on Lennox's fifth full-length, Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper, which arrived on Domino in early 2015. The colorful album again found Lennox collaborating with producer Sonic Boom. The full-length was followed by PBVSGR Remixes, an EP containing reworks by Pete Rock, Andy Stott, Container, and others, as well as Crosswords, another EP containing updated and unreleased material. ~ Margaret Reges & Paul Simpson

Jonathan Stuart-Brown for Save The British Film Industry.
The Uk Film Council was hated by UK film makers.
please watch this video in The Guardian and you will start to see why.
Brilliant expose by Chris Atkins and Mustafa Khalili but alas only scratches the surface of the waste, corruption and betrayal of UK film makers and cinema going public.
The confusion is in the first three words.
UK FILM Council.
People love UK FILM. No problem.
The nasty Council put those words there to bombard people with kneejerk emotion. UK FILM. We love UK Film. No argument. We love UK Film.
The truth is that this was an ugly corrupt Council with six PR offices pumping out misinformation and disinformation.
It was The Council.
We all -in the know – hate The Council.
The biggest opponents of 250 000 jobs in the UK film industry, of £25 billion a year inward investment in the UK, of building sound stages and state of the art sets in every region in the UK, were many of those at the UK Film Council and discredited regional screen agencies (of which the police at least realised one was corrupt to the core and closed it down).
It must be said The East Midlands Regional Screen Agency was excellent and the honourable exception. It is ALWAYS about people not structures, committees, systems or names of bodies. Put the right people in a quango or committee or Government job and it will work well.
Alas far too many members of The Uk Film Council were members of The Club which opposes mass employment in the Uk film industry.
We led a strong and successful campaign against huge hostility to get UKFC the chop.
We were supremely successful as we were in saving the greenbelt next to Pinewood Studios.
We so far have had far less success in getting The Government to wake up to the fact the club just moves on from the unions to The UKFC and Regional screen Agencies to new places to oppose massive expansion of UK film production, jobs based in the UK and quotas in Uk cinemas for UK based product and sound stages and sets being built in every region in the nation (the keys to massive increase in inward investment).
The Public Inspector's Report which almost no one in the film media has bothered to read in full is devastating.
Jonathan Stuart-Brown for www.savethebritishfilmindustry.com
Why are so very many people foolishly trying to save The UK Film Council ? Why are they turkeys begging to save Christmas and indeed hold it every week ? Why because ignorant as they are, their passion and indeed desperation is to have a massive film industry across The UK which they or their friends and loved ones can realistically get into as their career. The hunger for this in The UK is far far bigger than any other country in the world including The USA. The people who know they are disempowered are clinging to The UK Film Council like a drowning man clutching at straws. The first three-quarters is ok..UK FILM..it is just the last 25% which is going and was the cause of their disempowerment. A very active cause.
As Jonathan Gems, writer of ' Mars Attack', '1984', 'White Mischief', 'Batman' says, "The UK Film Council was treasonous. It actively suppressed UK Film Making' and did so during by far the fattest most profitable years the global film industry ever saw. The UKFC betrayed us at a time when conditions were perfect to get a profitable, self re-investing vibrant UK wide film industry. They screwed The UK and these 75 fat cat bureaucrats richly deserve the axe.
True UK film makers, artists, lovers of film and art, and supporters of UK film should congratulate David Cameron and Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt. If people foolishly sign the petition to save the fat cat UK Film Council then Your heart is in the right place, but the very best bet of you and others getting a career in The UK film industry has been dealt a fantastic ace by The Culture Secretary in getting rid of the fat cat bureaucrats who were deliberately and systematically stopping people like you, especially people like you, getting on the ladder.
The UK Film Council is putting around evil lies to continue its scam to prevent The UK ever having a vibrant self-sustaining film industry earning £25 billion a year and employing over 250 000 people in Britain. It opposed every move to equip The UK to qualify for the $50 million to $300 million Hollywood budgets, this is outside the 200 acres of The South East it had total control. It was against letting the rest of The South East and the rest of The UK getting into the real film industry, giving job opportunities to people in every county in Britain. It used its official status, its £70 million a year budget on the taxpayer and Lottery Fund to ensure that it could block any move to stop what The Lottery Fund was designed for under John Major to build sound stages across The UK.
It was mute as Pinewood-Shepperton-Teddington merged and was not referred to The Competition Commission. It was deaf, dumb and blind as Pinewood-Shepperton moved from a film making facility in Britain to being housebuilders. It was dumb as The Board and senior shareholder (a noted property developer and asset stripper) started to transfer the film jobs from Britain to Canada, Germany, The Dominican Republic and from 2012 Malaysia, then China, so that they could sell off the prime land of Pinewood Studios in South Bucks and Shepperton in west London. They were not in the end even defending The London film industry. It was about to collapse and still may.
The only mistakes Jeremy Hunt has made is that he has given this evil body TWO YEARS grace before the axe falls. Meanwhile nurses, doctors, police, firemen, disabled care workers will lose their jobs. Petition The Culture Secretary to get rid of The UK Film Council and switch off the money this month. The second mistake is to keep the evil ugly illegitimate child, the Regional Screen Commissions. More low profile but just as fat cat quangos stopping a UK Film Industry arising.
The National Audit Office should be going in and getting unfettered access to the accounts of The UK Film Council and The Screen Commissions AND when they discover the sums going into private companies of these same people, directly or indirectly, they should insist on surcharging them so the money – all the millions – are repaid.
Of course a few groups will support The Uk Film Council thinking they are The UK Film Industry rather than its enemy. Jesus said that "False Prophets Will Arise and Many Will Follow Them". These were false prophets. Jesus said that they pretend to be sheep but are only ravenous wolves in sheeps' clothing determined to eat the innocent sheep. They were at least as dubious as false prophet Todd Bentley. But only the very naive and very foolish will rally to them.
They can spend millions of tax payers money in magazines and a few newspapers, and on blogs and websites. If you pay for adverts, you control content. Its Press Releases will be printed without challenge, criticism, scrutiny, without truth.
Yes a very few real names, and 35 you could not pick out of a police identity parade, will sign letters to The Daily Telegraph. If these luvvies had a brain cell between them, they could be dangerous. They do have a net worth in excess of £300 million. It might be nice if they invested that in British based film making but of course they will not. They also in the main know that their careers as support actors in Hollywood financed movies are over and that at best BBC TV beckons. Their mates at The UK Film Council were their one chance to get real big money for films which usually lose money (as no one gets to see them as they will not pay to watch them) but it does allow them lots of exposure in mostly fading film careers WITH the bonus of still publicising themselves for The BBC as these do not want to end up in 'Casualty', 'EastEnders', or even 'Doctors' let alone Pantomines in Sheffield, Birmingham, Wrexham, Aberdeen, Plymouth, Grimsby, Coventry, Wolverhampton, or Chester.
So Clint Eastwood writes to The Chancellor, big deal. He ought to wake up and see the Pinewood Studios he uses to make films is in imminent danger of being turned into houses, supermarket distribution centre and a car park. He will be filming in Malaysia. The UK Film Council did not defend the sound stages we have and opposed building the 200 we do not have around The UK. These are what magnetises in Hollywood finance and stars to make Jason Bourne 4, Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, The Mummy, Mission Impossible, Robin Hood, Gladiator, X Men, Batman, etc These employ over 85% of the people employed in British based film making and once lost, they will not be employed here or anywhere else in film making.
We hate to be cynical. but like Oliver Stone's recent inexcusable anti-semitic rant before his comeback film Wall Street 2, did Clint Eastwood need the publicity before he releases a s0-so movie which urgently needs the media juice ?
We take it you know and Clint Eastwood knows that it was not their own UK Film Council staff money but your money (taxes, lottery tickets) which they gave out. But first 75 people took between £70 000 and £150 000 each every year. They paid £24 000 a week, £300 000 a year, £3 million in ten years on the most palatial office you can ever imagine. They had five star hotels on your taxes, first class travel, and one had £16 000 lunch expenses.
Your money could and should have been spent much better on making movies, creating film jobs and opportunities. But that was not their goal. They had a super elite in club on your taxes and to put it bluntly, you were not welcome as a member !
You should after further research just rejoice they are gone AND write to thank The Secretary of State for Culture. There is now a real chance with the remaining Lottery Money that it will be used to help the likes of you get your chance at a career in film making.
You see the tax credit is remaining, which attracts in Hollywood productions to rent Pinewood and Shepperton and Elstree 40 sound stages to make movies like Mission Impossible, Batman, Sherlock Holmes 2, X Men: First Class, Pirates of The Caribbean….and the fact they are made here in The UK is why so many cast and crew are from here. This includes Clint Eastwood.
You see The Lottery Money to put into films is still here, it is just the greedy administrators who took 24% of it for themselves, which is going (and sadly The Culture secretary has given them 2 years notice which for most people is huge job security).
It is the tax credit and Lottery Money which creates the economic benefits which this fatcat quango claims for itself.
All that the Minister has actually said is that in his view the UKFC is an over-costly mechanism for disbursing Lottery funding and for implementing the Government's policies on film. Tthe bureaucracy was deliberately off-putting, bullying and designed to be daunting. You were not welcome. The bureaucrats were bullies and you were the victim. The salaries of the executives were high on the list of 170 public servants earning more than the Prime Minister. These were conmen, these were running off with your money. Can you please get it ? You were being screwed.
PLEASE WAKE UP AND STOP BEGGING TO BE BULLIED AND ABUSED. Their lavish personal expenses which were the second highest in the public sector. Please do not get us started on expenses on top of that. They were gorging at The Ivy Restaurant which is very hard to do on anything like a normal income. Did we mention ultra-expensive "gym expenses" for every member of staff. How is that essential for 75 people who just hand out money to film projects ? They needed 75 people to do this but Channel 4 Film only needed 10 when they were winning back to back Oscars with Film Four. Often they only had 4 to 6 staff, but UKFC needed 75.
The UK Film Council was a rude, nasty, haughty, mean spirited organisation totally out of control and deliberately out of touch. You were the enemy not the boss. You were to be prevented from getting an equal chance to get access to the super elite club they controlled. Of course the Film Council delivered some benefits to UK film but with the £70 million a year funding from you, your parents, grandparents, your taxes and your Lottery tickets, how could it not manage something?
The real question which the Minister has addressed is whether it could be administered much much better by for example The BFI, Arts Council, or just by local Unis and Councils, or local people giving their time for free to hear pitches, read screenplays and decide locally which films to back with public money. This public money is still available. It has not gone. Only the fatcat administrators are going (and alas not for two years).
We do not need an abusive UKFC, power freaks and bullies, who believed it was their money, and most people need not think of applying for it.
Having lobbied hard to get rid of The UK Film Council, those of us at Save The British Film Industry have obviously been celebrating all week and congratulating the Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt.
For there to be a British Film Industry, there needs to be sound stages built around The UK. Ideally at least 4 in every county. Hollywood $50 million to $300 million productions can only go where sound stages are. For those who do not know, they are glorified warehouses, more normally found in The Midlands and The North YET curiously sound stages are confined to a very very small 200 acres in the area of west London, and just North and West of London. The UK Film Council fought tooth and nail to ensure not one penny of Lottery money was spent on building sound stages outside of this small 200 acre zone..thus guaranteeing a UK film industry could not arise.
If you had 4 to 8 sound stages in your county, then Hollywood Studios could rent them for films between $30 million to $100 million budget. About 70% would be spent hiring local freelances. The UKFC had the monies to do this. It was your money. But they had no intention. You were not welcome to join their club. They did not want to empower you and opposed those who did.
They did spend £300 000 a year on their ground rent. They did employ 75 people on £70 000 to £150 000 who often had several other jobs. But sound stages, post-production facilities, nope. If these existed across The UK, then many more entrepreneurs who invest in fast food franchaises, laundrettes, restaurants, shops, hotels, etc will take the risk and hire them to try their luck at film making for profit. It was the volume of risk taking entrepreneurs which created Hollywood. Ironically they sold them huge monies to build hotels, shops, houses, and forever thereafter seek to rent them elsewhere such as in The UK…which is confined to Pinewood, Shepperton, Elstree because UKFC did not want you to get your chance to play the game.
Now the MD of Elstree earns a fraction of the salary of the average UKFC employee, yet he has delivered two years of block booking of Elstree sound stages by Hollywood Studios creating lots of UK based film jobs. Why is only little Hertsmere Council, owner of Elstree, wise about sound stages ? Why did The UKFC not educate people outside West London that they are the essential infrastructure of a real industry ? Why not build another Elstree in your town or county ?
Now UKFC is gone, and hopefully certain very very high paid, huge expenses Regional Screen Commissions with them, the sound stages can get built and UK film making enter a true golden age.
We urge people not to sign any Petition to save UKFC fatcat jobs. It has nothing to do with The UK Film Industry, indeed it was the enemy of most people making films in Britain.
You would do much better to get a Petition to Save Pinewood and Shepperton Studios. These have 34 sound stages. Each employing people in The Uk film industry, well only 80% of them.
The plc owning it has sold the right to use Pinewood brandname in the last 12 months to competitor studios in Canada, Malaysia, Germany and The Dominican Republic. The origial UK studios will not compete against them for the Hollywood productions which rent in Iver Heath and Shepperton and employ all the film workers. The two biggest shareholders in Pinewood who in July 2010 got 54% of shares for the first time have both openly said they are interested in the property values of Pinewood and Shepperton, not especially the film making business on it. The biggest shareholder made his billions buying businesses to close them and sell the land they were on at a profit. Guess what The UKFC were mute during the transfer of the real film jobs outside The UK which is about to become accelerated. It was not even protecting The London Film Industry longterm.
You are going to be left with Elstree (only about 15% of Pinewood-Shepperton capacity) unless you start campaigning, petitioning to the Government now rather than the misguided attempt to save fatcat bureaucrats while killing the industry and driving abroad its major investor.
'Chariots of Fire' was made quite happily without The UK Film Council. Ditto prior to the utterly wasteful on themselves bureaucrats getting your taxes to play with, yes PRIOR to The UKFC we had 'A Fish Called Wanda', 'Four Weddings and A Funeral', 'Trainspotting', 'Shallow Grave', 'My Left Foot', 'Elizabeth', 'Crying Game; 'Mona Lisa' , 'The Long Good Friday', 'Notting Hill' 'The Winslow Boy', 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', 'Shakespeare In Love', 'Sliding Doors'. 'Little Voice', 'Mrs Brown', 'Hamlet'.'Brassed Off', 'Jude', 'Wind in The Willows', 'Sense and Sensibility', 'Madness of King George', let alone The 007 James Bond films, and not forgetting the 15% of Hollywood movies made at Pinewood and Shepperton and Elstree Studios each year…….
There is hope but not if people fall for The UKFC con tricks. We were better off before them, and will be better off after them. You might even get a job. Very best of success.
Your dreams are not dead. Your dream is more alive than ever.
The UKFC kept letting all the profits from movies like Slumdog Millionaire just leave The UK. It did not even keep the monies made at UK cinemas from Hollywood films it co-funded. It did not use the money it managed to get a fair deal with US distributors who control US and UK cinemas. It could have had so much money from films made or shown in The UK, yet it made huge losses and commissioned an expensive report to claim it needed much more. It had its chance and few film makers in the UK miss it.
Please reconsider. Please write to The Culture Secretary if you see that getting rid of The UKFC can be the birth of a true UK wide film industry much more accessible, much more democratic, making much better movies…and you might nag him about building sound stages across the UK.
Alongside UK sound stages, it is the genius skill of UK craftsmen who attract Hollywood to these shores. If you want to know who built The UK Film Industry reputation over many decades, then try Vic Armstrong, his brother Andy Armstrong, and Vic's dad and father-inlaw and wife Wendy….not UKFC.
If you want to see a true genius of UK film making, to savour 9 minutes of bliss, then try this. Not a UKFC person in sight but it is British film making at its zenith.
Vic Armstrong should get a knighthood AND his brother Andy too. He should direct James Bond 23 not Sam Mendes. He should direct James Bond 24. As Vic Armstrong says: "If they let me direct James Bond, I guarantee it will be by far the best 007 ever. Even the stuntmen will need stuntmen. The action will sizzle. The sizzling dialogue will be being quoted in 40 years time. It will be by far the best James Bond ever".
Thankyou for your time. Very very best of health and success.

I previously reported installing Polk Audio db6501 6.5" component speakers in the front doors of my 2011 SE and powering them with just the factory headunit (click here). It sounded good at first but I later felt that the sound lacked bass impact and overall dynamics (sounded little compressed); not too surprising since the headunit likely puts out a measly 10-15 watts/channel. Therefore, I decided to add an external amp as well as a subwoofer. Since I wanted to retain the factory headunit, I bought a line output converter (LOC) as well in order to feed signal to the amp.
Below are pics and links (underlined) to descriptions of the components I installed as well as some helpful install notes.
Amp wiring:
I followed these two guides...
CR-V specific...
Sub and Amp Install (power wires, etc) (3rd Gen)
I used a Stinger 4 gauge amp wiring kit. I had to buy 1/4" ring terminals because the ones included in the kit were too big to fit underneath the positive terminal nut. Also had to replace the 150A fuse with a 40A fuse as recommended in the amp manual. I used a Dremel tool to cut a notch in the red battery cover to give clearance for the power wire so the cover can fully snap down. I covered the power wire with 1/2" flexible loom which was fully wrapped with 3M Super 88 electrical tape. The result is a near factory look...
I ran the power wire down the passenger side of the car and all the other wires down the driver's side. All the wires are concealed behind trim panels or underneath the carpet. The trim panels were relatively easy to snap off (see this PDF). Taping the wire to a straightened out clotheshanger makes it easier to run the wires through tight spaces. I used "Gorilla" tape to secure wires to the floorboard when necessary.
I decided to place the amp underneath the driver's seat instead of the passenger side; there is more room and the carpet here peels back to make running the wires much easier. You need to pop off the two rear seat bolt covers to do so. Conveniently, in this area is a prexisting bolt that I used to attach the ground wires for the amp and line out converter to the chassis. The bolt is one of three that holds down the silver metal panel that covers the parking brake cable. I removed the panel and sanded off the paint around the bolt hole (to bare metal) to maximize contact with the ground wire terminals and smeared the area with dielectric grease to prevent rusting.
Wiring completed...
Line output converter:
I read that passive (non-powered) line out converters (LOC) roll off the bass (see here). Ironically, passive LOC's are commonly used to get signal when adding a sub to factory systems with no line level outputs. Therefore, I decided to get an Audiocontrol LC2i, an active (powered) 2-channel LOC which is supposed to have much better bass output than passive LOC's. It also is a "line driver" that sends a high voltage (up to 9.5V) preamp signal up to the amp. The Audiocontrol LOC also conveniently has a "remote wire output" to turn on the external amp. I got power to the LOC by tapping into fuse #34 (radio ACC) on the interior fuse panel using an "add-a-circuit" fuseholder and grounded it at the same point as the amp (see above). The LOC is fed with the speaker level outputs from the front speakers only. I tapped into the front speaker wires from inside the doors using a Metra speaker harness adapter (72-7800) and extended the wires from the adapter, out the door, and to the LOC. I mounted the LOC inside the center console on top of the airbag control module using adhesive-backed Velcro. It was a tight fit; I had to use right angle RCA adapters to get some clearance with the left-side console panel and I still can't snap the panel back on fully...
I went with a JL Audio XD400/4 amp for it's compact size (and brand reputation). It puts out 75 watts/channel into 4 channels. I am feeding the amp with only two channels from the LOC; the amp splits the signal into 4 channels. I bridged two of the channels to crank out 200 watts for the sub; the other two channels power the front component speakers. The rear speakers (Polk Audio db651 6.5" coaxial speakers) are still powered with the headunit amp.
For easier access and factory look, I mounted the JL Audio remote volume control knob (HD-RLC) for the sub channel inside the steering column cover...
The amp is firmly secured to the carpet with adhesive-backed Velcro (using the rough hook side). I like how the amp's adjustment controls are hidden under a brushed aluminum cover and the wire connections are all on one side; this makes for a very clean looking install (NO visible wires!). Oh, I'm also amazed at how tiny it is!!!
I went with a JL Audio 8" slot ported sub (CP108LG-W3v3). The sub is quite small and does not take up much room in the cargo area...
I used dual banana plugs so I can quickly disconnect the speaker wires (gray to match interior) if I need to remove the sub box (17lbs) out of the car. The sub box is secured to the floor with adhesive-backed Velcro.
Sound impressions:
In short...WOW! The JL Audio amp really opened up the sound from my Polk components...it no longer sounds slightly compressed. There is improved instrument separation. The sound is also more detailed (e.g. I can better hear the reverberation of guitars and vocal texture). With the bass boost (AccuBASS) of the Audiocontrol LOC turned way up, the bass output from just the front speakers alone is unbelievable...again this is with the sub channel turned all the way down! With the sub channel on, the bass can be felt and the rearview mirror vibrates if you turn it up enough...pretty good for just an 8" sub. However, I'm more about sound quality, so I have the AccuBASS just barely turned up to get a balanced sound. I have the low pass filter on the amp set at 80hz and the high pass at 100hz. On the headunit, I have the BASS at (0), TREBLE at (+1), BALANCE at (R1), and FADER at (F9, all the way to the front).
Anyways, my system now sounds extremely good (to me) with the new amp and sub. It was well worth the time, effort and cost. Now I hear first hand why people always advise amping any aftermarket speakers to get the best sound.

Today, we feature the final piece in a mini-series of posts on alternative processes in photography: Stephen Berkman and his Wet Plate Collodion process. If this interests you, and you'd like to expand your creative palette, the F295 Annual Symposium might be the spot for you to do so.
Ambrotype (Wet Plate Collodion Process)
Stephen Berkman, The Exhibition (From the Archives of the Academie des Sciences)
Ambrotypes are one-of-a-kind positive images, made by using the wet plate collodion process. Frederick Scott Archer invented the wet plate collodion process several years before James Ambrose Cutting patented the process and coined the term "Ambrotype." Ambrotypes first came to the United States in the early 1950's, and soon replaced the Daguerreotype.
The wet plate collodion process entails coating one side of a clean glass plate with collodion (ether, grain alcohol, and nitrate cellulose) and then dipping the plate in silver nitrate. The plate is exposed to light while still wet, and must be developed and fixed immediately after making the exposure. When held up to a black background, the glass negative appears to be a positive image (black varnish is usually coated on the opposite side of the glass negative). A second plate of glass is placed over the emulsion, and is mounted in a metal case.
Stephen Berkman, The History of Dread, A Guide for the Perplexed
"I am interested in photography's first 40 years because it was at its zenith right from the start. Photography has not improved much; it's just gotten more convenient. I like the visual code of the nineteenth century, the formality of it, the way things looked, and the mix between art and science. What intrigues me is getting inside the minds of people from another time, and the feeling that their times—what we now consider the past—was at one time contemporary. The nineteenth century acts as both an anchor and a foil to my photographs."*
Come hear Stephen Berkman and many other 21st century photographers discuss their work at the 2012 F295 Symposium: Continued Explorations of 21st Century Photography
*Excerpt from Robert Hirsch's interview with Stephen Berkman to appear in the July/August 2012 issue of photo techniques magazine.

'In 23 countries in Africa and expanding rapidly'
Jeffrey Sachs is widely known to the development community as a luminary and a lightning rod. Since helping to turn around struggling economies in Bolivia and Poland in the 1980s, the famed economist (a tenured Harvard professor by the age of 28) has become among the world's most prominent advocates for development aid. His tireless advocacy and firm views have gathered both powerful allies — among them the U.N. secretary-general and Bono — and persistent critics.
He is among a small group of development leaders who have broken through to mainstream attention: Just two years ago he nominated himself — only partly to make a point — as World Bank president.
From his perch as the director of Columbia University's Earth Institute, Sachs continues to serve as the spiritual guide of the Millennium Villages Project, which he founded in 2002 to prove that rural poverty can be eradicated through a targeted combination of international expertise and subsidized seed, fertilizer, medicine, bednets and the like.
Following a visit to the first Millennium Village in Sauri, Kenya, I caught up with Sachs to talk about the $25 million-per-year project, its critics and where development is headed.

Aww, thanks - it's my favorite pic of my niece, except you can't see her curls, which are fabulous. Of course, she's 8, and hates how tangled her hair gets - but she will love it when she gets older!
results above!
LOVE it! The new cut looks FABulous. I was expecting it to be a whole lot shorter. I'm sure it seems like it's really short to you, but from an outside perspective, it still looks long. It looks really healthy and full, too!

Here is a profile on potential Gophers head coach candidate, Buzz Williams
Gopher Head Coach Candidate: Flip Saunders
One intriguing candidate for the Gophers head coaching vacancy is former Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders. One of the factors working against Saunders is his lack of coaching experience at the college level, but here are the other factors he brings to the table:
Coaching Experience-
- Minnesota Timberwolves: 1995-2005
- Detroit Pistons: 2005-2008
- Washington Wizards 2009-2012
- Career record: 638–526, 47-51 playoff record
- 4 first place finishes (2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008)
- Reached the NBA Conference Finals 4 times (2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008)
Pros brought to table-
- Saunders is a Gopher alum and would appeal to fans and other alumni

I love chewies. Every once and a while Neeko and I each get our own chewie. I'm sure that Mom gives Neeko the better one so I mug him for it. Of course I keep the other one too. Nothing is more fun than munching on a chewie when Neeko has none. Too bad I have to go outside to take care of business because then Neeko steals my chewie. If Mom would let me take it outside I could avoid this problem. Of course the answer is to mug Neeko for the chewie again. Seniority rules!!
Neeko has been training for Utility and he got his Rally Advanced tite on Sunday. I told Mom that it was OK if she worked with Neeko because I want to retire from the ring. Well, I've been retired from Obedience since I got my OTCh but I thought I would do more Rally. I have my Rally Advanced title, Mom is very proud of me and we were going to continue on to get my Rally Excellent title. I even went to Rally class with Neeko a few weeks back. It was fun to be in class again but I had trouble with those pesky jumps. Darn those jumps -- they made me retire from Obedience competition. Mom knew I wanted to jump but had trouble seeing the jump. We only jumped one jump in Rally class and I did for Mom. She knew that I was really nervous and didn't make me jump on the second run. So we decided that since Excellent has two jumps it would be too stressful for me. I am officialy retired and when Neeko goes to class and competitions I stay home and keep Dad company. Dad is retired too so I help him with watering the garden, pruning the apple tree and keeping squirrels out of the spruce tree. I even let him hit my yellow ball with the golf club. The ball goes really far and I love to run and catch it. However I don't like to play it when Neeko is home because he just runs after me, barking and generally annoying me. He's my brother but sometimes he's just a pest.
I got my 3rd Utility Leg at Tillsonburg on November 23/08 so I am now officially OTCh Newtopaz Pied Piper, CGN. Of course, you can call me plain old Piper, if you call me for a cookie (hee hee hee.) Mom and I were a great team in the ring. I gave Mom some tense moments for example I lost my bearings when we turned around for the scent articles. The articles were straight ahead but I went all the way to the left side of the ring, but I knew those articles were around somewhere and I tracked them down (Mom was holding her breath.) It didn't take me long to find the scented article and bring it back to Mom. Then the Judge told Mom she could breathe.!! On the first directed jump I almost jumped the bar jump instead of the solid jump. Good thing I double checked Mom's signal and changed my direction and went over the solid jump. After that it was easy -- go out to the curtains and jump the bar jump. Everyone cheered and I gave Mom a big "high five." And best of all ... I got cheese when we got back to my crate. Mom was happy about "the leg" and I was happy about the cheese.

A UN Report indicates civilian casualties in Baghdad have gone down since introduction of the Bush "surge," but military casualties have risen. It also appears that civilian casualties outside of Baghdad have gone up. According to the report: "The situation in Iraq remains precarious. Insurgent attacks persist and civilian casualties continue to mount, where there was a lull in the level of sectarian violence early in the report period, it now appears that militia forces are resuming their activities, including targeted killings and kidnappings."
This report could have been written six months or a year ago by anyone familiar with guerrilla warfare. It is amazing how little Bush officials have studied past insurgencies, and how scant in their grasp on the dynamics of what happens in urban guerrilla warfare. Was it the Bush assumption that insurgents would wait for the Americans and openly fight it out? They pursued classic hit and run tactics and they will continue in this manner until either one of the following occurs: a government assumes power that has overwhelming support of the population or the Iraq army gains the capability of decisive action. Until then, casualties will go up and down.

July 23, 2014
NORMAN, Okla. - On Wednesday, the 2014 Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars for Divisions I, II and the NAIA were announced by the GCAA. A total of 207 players in Division I, 75 in Division II and 11 in NAIA earned the honor. Among the student-athlete scholars, one honoree was Tennessee's Danny Keddie.
To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team's competitive rounds or compete in the NCAA Championships, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 77.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, and maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.
Keddie highlighted his junior season with a runner-up finish at the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate, the best finish of his career. The Lincoln, England, native finished his junior season with a 73.31 stroke average, six rounds of par or better, and a low round best of 66 at the Bobby Nichols. Keddie will graduate with a degree in Accounting.
The All-America Scholar recognition is just one of many honors received by the Tennessee men's golf program for their achievements in the classroom this season. Head coach Jim Kelson's team was awarded with the Tennessee Male Scholar Athlete Team of the Year for a second time earlier this year at the annual Volscars program.

Frenzy? More like pure batshit insanity, o-Kyouka-sama.
I picked this up solely on the strong recommendation from j1mone (one of the bloggers whom I actually check on a daily basis) and also because SS-Eclipse actually subbed it. Honestly, I was kinda surprised and a bit disappointed at them for picking up Geass R2 (considering the ungodly amount of subbers doing it already) but their choice to sub this redeems them back.
Let's just say this, this show is. Bat. Shit. Insane. And I love it. The jokes are insane, but reference-free, mainly remaining in the context of the show's already absurd setting, quite a breathe of fresh air, since the recent shows that employ the same batshit-insane style have been mostly quite hard to get (Pani Poni Dash comes to mind).
The awesome manzai couple of Kyouka-sama and Ouka Midarezaki is pretty cool too, and that's not even counting in the absurdity of having a jellyfish, lion, gay guy and a biological weapon as your adopted children. Yes, this is definitely a batshit insane show that KNOWS it's meant to be batshit insane, and it loves it.
C'mon, even the producers batshit insane themselves, going as so far to (probably) produce EIGHT DIFFERENT ending sequences for each of the TV stations airing the show. How bloody cool is that?
P.S. Kana Hanazawa's Yuka is <3~~~~ Oh god, I miss her voice much. And her in a loli role too!

installing hardie backer board
hi my name is Don and i am trying to find out if i use modified thin set instead of unmodified thin set between the plywood subfloor and the backer board will i encounter any serious problems down the road
You would want to use modified as the additives in it will allow it to cure and stick to the plywood, whereas unmodifed will not adhere to plywood.
Hi Alamo,
Hardie tells you to use either modified or unmod to install the board, and modified only to install the tiles. You are not necessarily trying to bond the board to the subfloor. The thinset under is there to support the board so there is no movement. Problems down the road? Removing it in 20-30 years.

Thread: Stove????
This year DH would like to buy a stove, probably toward the end of the heating season. We are unsure what type to get.
Pellet or coal? Ive read that the new coal stoves burn clean but I was wondering if that was really true.
We have a ranch home with a partially finished basement. We are also uncertain as to where to put the stove. We do have a fireplace on the main level in our living room but I am afraid that would make that room unbearably hot.
So if you have a stove can you please share your experiences with one? Which kind do you have? What is the maintance like? Where do you have it in your house and do you save a lot of money by using one?
We currently have oil heat and are looking for an alternative.
Also my son as asthma so that is a big concern of ours as well.
I was thinking if we do get one to put it in the unfinished part of the basement which is under our bedrooms so hopefully the heat would rise. We have wood floors so I dont know if that would be a concern or not.
Sorry for rambling.

I have a box wood stove in my 1/2 basement...My basement in unfinished.. Make sure that if you get one you hook it up to code...they can be a fire bug if not...
They are a mess with wood bring it inside getting it in the stove and all...They do save and keeps my house really warm but if you have to buy wood, coal or what ever I don't know how much you would save...I have had mine smoke the house a couple of times since I have had it..I heat, cook, and heat water with Lp...this stove saves enough that I only have to fill tank every 2 years. Price of heating is going up and up right now but you want to make sure your safe and it is worth the start up cost...

This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the DownloadManager.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan.

oil furnance "boom" when starting
My folks have a 53 year old oil furnance. Two weeks ago, they had a repair guy out because there was a stronger than usual oil smell. The pro cleaned it, replaced the nozzle, filter, make some adjustments and said it was good to go. However now when it starts up, it makes a loud boom. They haven't had anyone come in and power vacuum any of their ducts/vents in several years. Could it be that the furnance isn't igniting fast enough because of the vents/air or does something else need to be adjusted again?
Is it a "Boom", or more of a "Whoosh" when the burners ignite. If more of a Boom like a shotgun or handgun going off, then it would be something to get checked out. The Whoosh could be from the maintenance that was done to tune the system.
I had an old furnace that did similar things, and it ended up needing a new transformer.
(on a side note, I'd start saving up for a new furnace. That one's on borrowed time. Plus the new ones are so much smaller, quieter, and more efficient.)
I hope they also checked out your heat exchanger. The air used for ignition and fueling the oil flame is not the same as the enviromental air in your ductwork. A stronger than usual oil or burning smell throughout the house might indicate a cracked heat exchanger. If that is the case this problem could be deadly.
As a previous poster said, if this furnace is 53 years old, it is long past the time it should be replaced. Throwing good money into something this old is a waste.
Good reason to upgrade
If your going Boom, I'd suggest inspecting your ignition points. No offense but sometimes you pay for professional service and dont get what you paid for. We had oil heat and experienced something similar, it turned out to be the ignition points needed cleaning, delaying the ignition untill after it had been pumping fuel a while. We were home when it blew for the last time, scaring us all. Upon immediate investigation (Hey! It really went BOOM) we found the access door opened, the latch broken off and the internal water channel cracked. A new furnace was not a choice. We chose Gas this time due to better/easier supply and a cleaner burn(and I personally noticed a reduction of soot on towels and linens I had always dismissed as dust).
You got your money's worth out of your furnace, Upgrade and sleep easier. If possable ,Before the winter grip sets in, meantime, check your Ignition ASAP. Watch it in action, have someone turn the thermostat on and off while you observe it fire up and shut down. Also, after doing this and your familiar with what to look for, leave the furnace off long enough to cool down fully. Then observe the ignition sequence when it starts up from 'cold'.
The ignition may be delayed upon cold starts only and you wouldnt see the delay if the furnace had been running. I notice you didnt mention if the points were cleaned and checked or the transformer. You DID pay for professional service-thats included-call the repairmen who did the job and complain. Politely at first, but 'boom'-Naw! Fix It, he was paid to fix it,(unless he expects to get the job to replace it next too). If your guy was reputable there should be NO Charge to inspect his own work- especially if he just did it before this new problem started. Knowing what to look for will help you explain the trouble to the 'repairman' :thumbsup:

There is no one fixed solution on applying Responsive Layout to one page websites because all greatly depend on what type of one page website you are designing. So before you get your mouse dirty and start designing, get a better understanding of the relationship between Responsive Layout and one page websites.
Responsive Layout
Responsive Layout (or "adaptive layout") is a grid-based fluid website layout that uses CSS percentage ratio towards each grid width which automatically adjusts its content to fit the browser size. Images are also flexible as long as you do not apply height and width variables to the img tag, and CSS media queries are usually use to target mobile devices. With this being said, in short, there are three important elements of a responsive layout:
- Fluid grid-based layout
- Flexible images
- CSS media queries
One Page Website Layouts
One page or single page website comes in a variety of layout designs (depending on designer's discretion). Since we are constricted by using only one HTML page, one page layouts are greatly affected by the usage of javascript, e.g. jQuery, to control the navigation to different section of the page. The ones that you'll see most often are the Horizontal Panel Scroll and Vertical Panel Scroll layout which generally uses fixed panel size to contain scroll elements. Other popular ones are Full Background, Parallax Scrolling and the latest popular usage of "Isotope and Masonry" floating grid layout.
Responsive Layout VS. One Page Websites
Keeping above factors in mind let's look at some popular one page website layouts and see whether Responsive Design can be applied to them. Showin' some love… Our one page website examples are courtesy of onepagelove.com, onepagemania.com, awwwards.com and crushlovely.com (Thank you folks!)
Horizontal Scroll
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES and NO.
Most Horizontal Scroll have fixed panel width to contain each panel scroll elements, e.g. text, images, videos, etc. The idea is to scroll panels from right to left, and vice versa, while keeping menu header fixed and panel width consistent. Sometimes, full page panels are used creatively as visual presentation such as in vanityclaire.com and again, with this type of presentation it could be difficult to apply Responsive Layout because of the fixed panel width.
(updated January 2013) With the evolving one page website development, we are seeing more and more flexible Horizontal Scroll layout being utilized. The great thing about this layout is that it occupies the entire web page width and height and automatically adjust to the media device you are viewing it with. For example, take Barrell 2012 Recap website which cleverly combines full background image with Horizontal Scroll slideshow on a Responsive Layout.

Carrot Creative

Squeeze of Lime Studio
One page theme: Agent.C
Vertical Scroll
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES and NO.
The placement of the menu header greatly affects the layout. This in turns determine whether we can apply Responsive Layout to it. There are three popular header positions: Side Menu Header (left or Right), Fixed/Persistent Top Header, and Sticky Header. Responsive Layout are mostly seen in vertical layouts with Top Header navigation that is because the page's content is not constricted by any fixed width. Below are website examples with the aforementioned headers.
Fixed Left (or Right) Side Menu Header
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? NO.
System of a Down
One page theme: SimpleCity
Fixed Top (or Bottom) Header
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES.
Free Range Designs
Castagno Village
House Creative
Sticky Header
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES.
Sticky Headers are headers that beautifully appear as a top bar as you scroll down the page. Just like a Fixed Top Header, this particular layout is adaptable too. Notice that a designer/developer uses this layout for a personal wedding RSVP website! How sweet! 🙂

Parallax Scrollling
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES and NO.
Parallax Scrolling is a technique of creating an illusion of depth by moving multiple layers of images at different speed. Originated from video games, Parallax Scrolling has been applied many times in web design, Nike Better World was one of the early sites who started this trend. Most Parallax websites are vertical in nature but some are horizontal like indofolio.com. The adaptability of a Parallax Scrolling site is greatly depends on CSS media queries, which means more HTTP requests needed, which equals to slower browsing experience in some cases. Keep in mind that most Parallax Scrolling websites do not work well in mobile browser, therefore it is best to create a mobile version of it.
Nike Jumpman
Pixel Fable
Full Background Panel Scroll
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES and NO.
This layout is unique as we are force to imagine the website as a bigger site. The adaptability of the website layout will depend on the flexibility of the panel grids. Below are each example of a fluid grid and a fixed grid.
Melissa Hie
Full Background Image
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES and NO.
Full images with cycle transitions are used on the background of this layout presentation. Depending on the discretion of designers/developers these images are sometimes developed to be adaptable and sometimes they are fixed. Large size images are needed to look good across a large browser (careful with slow loading time).
Fabio Neural
Salt Grill & Sky Bar
Floating Grid
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? YES.
Floating Grid is gaining in popularity and mostly are used for portfolio galleries. For one page websites, there are many unique and creative applications that you can do with Floating Grid. One of them is the usage of filter system, i.e. Isotope, to dynamically filter content on the page itself. As for adaptability, since it floats you can be sure that it will fit in most browser sizes. But for safe measure, use CSS media queries to target mobile devices.
Faces of New York Fashion Show
One page theme: Silhouette
One page theme: Silhouette – Mobile
Can we apply Responsive Layout to it? ISN'T IT OBVIOUS.
Here are some examples of responsive one page websites without the extra jQuery frills and thrills. Notice that all websites are center aligned. Go ahead and drag the corner of your browser to see Responsive Layout in action!

Mobile Version is Recommended
When it comes to developing one page websites on mobile platform, e.g. iPhone and Android, you are better off creating a mobile website than a responsive one. One of the advantage of doing so is that it is many times lighter in file size because it requires less HTTP requests than the desktop version, thus speeds up loading times on mobile browser. But of course one of the obvious downfall from creating a mobile version of your one page website is that you might sacrifice the unique functionality and layout design for a more simpler information-based layout—the choice is up to you.
…Exception to the Rule
Now its your turn to talk: What is your favorite one page layout and why? And what are your thoughts on applying Responsive Layout to one page websites? Is Responsive Layout really necessary?

Marina police arrest suspected tire thief
Police say there could be more victims
MARINA, Calif. - Marina police officers arrested a man last night on suspicion of stealing tires from parked cars.
Officers were dispatched around 8 p.m. to the Marina Dunes Shopping Center where a Kohl's Department Store employee saw a man pull up to a pickup in the parking lot and lower the spare tire from under the truck bed using a tool. The suspect then cut the cable holding the spare tire and stole it.
The employee kept watching the man and called police, who arrested him as he was in the process of attempting to steal another spare tire from a different truck.
Michael Lucas, 33, of Upland was arrested on suspicion of vehicle tampering, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools. He also was found to be in possession of a controlled substance, in violation of his probation and there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
Lucas also had two additional tires in his possession, which police believe were stolen from other vehicles.
Marina Police is asking people that have been at the Marina Dunes Shopping Center to check to see if their spare tire is missing. If your tire is missing, Marina police ask that you call 884-1210.
