I want to use the bigfeature theme for a website, where I need to place a slider on the homepage, which has not the complete width of the content container, and has to be horizontally aligned in the middle.
Is it possible to align the bfslider centered via a shortcode, or in the css? I could't find any possibility yet. This would be great, as I love the theme and it's great features...
Many thanks,

About MeI'm looking for work that is a bit more 'out there' I love a challenge and would like to focus mainly on fetish or punk/alternative but still want some diversity. I am willing to try most things once so don't be afraid to ask...
I have several tattoos including a 3/4 sleeve on my left arm and various piercings this will not limit my work nor hold me to a particular style. My tattoos can easily be covered with clothing, make-up or photo shopped if required. I am a size 12 curvy model and use this to my advantage.
I am looking for paid work (message me for rates) however I may be willing to do TF depending on the concept.
For all TF, TOG's i haven't worked with and any nude shoot my partner will come along, he is very easy supportive and does not interfere, he's also happy to help out in any way - he has even modeled with me on occasion, If you don't work well with someone else there I would like to request that he drop me off and have a quick look at the studio and pick me up after.
Thanks for reading :)

Unfortunately i have worked with two TOG's on MM that never provided any images nor contact after the shoot they are :

It looked sharp! Anyone? I was in front of the hospital in a big van that looked something like this: Anyone? Bueller?

So here is my dilemma...
I hear that Restore leaves the surface of the deck rough and very hot in 80+ degree weather. It also takes more product to cover your deck...
Has anyone used Rescue it and could comment on the heat issue and how much product they used and how many sq feet?
I have a 1200 sq foot deck and at $89 per ea 100 sq feet it's gonna add up quickly.
Rescue it would be $50 per ea 100 sq feet and provide a smooth finish.
Any thoughts or incite would be great!
Just finished applying my first 5 gallon bucket of Rescue-It. You mentioned it has a smooth finish. Well not really. It does have grit mixed in it, so i wouldn't really call it a smooth finish. I used a 3/4" nap roller cover and it did pretty good. Our deck was pretty cracked and many of the knot holes were raised up. This was the first coat. The directions indicate it needs two coats to fill in the cracks. I intend on the second coat this weekend, and will be using a 1.25" nap concrete/stuco cover this time. Should fill in the cracks even better, now I hope. Otherwise, yes I like the product. However, i have noticed that with this coating on the deck, it is noticably hotter with the sun beating on it.
How did it turn out?
How large was your deck and how much product did you need?
Do you have any pics?
You might search the paint section for threads on the Rustoleum product. There have been several this season. One person did not like it after a season but was finding it a terrible challenge to remove if that is a possible issue for you.
By the way, you might want to update your profile with basic geographic information. Sometimes people have specific product recommendations for your climate if they know where you are.
I haven't tried these products but my "skeptic antenna" is way up. Putting on such a thick coating gets me to thinking that when that stuff goes bad, it's gonna crack and peel in chunks. Plus, it seems to be very costly. They claim to cover about 100 sq. ft. but lots of folks say it covers about half of that. Most decks are salvageable after a thorough cleaning, some sanding, and applying a quality deck stain or toner so I feel a product like these two are risky ventures at best.
imho that stuff is ugly:huh: ,you couldn't pay me to put that on my deck:eek:. I have put Sherwin Williams deckscapes solid over some nasty decks and it was amazing how good they came out :yes:,well I don't know about amazing, but lets just say it looks dam good.:thumbsup:
I never liked using solid stains on decks but if Deckscapes (solid) is half the product Woodscapes---for vertical surfaces---is it might be worth a shot. Any deck is going to need attention every three years on average so just plan for that. Since a solid stain leaves more pigment on the surface you can expect for it to deteriorate sooner.
Just like with interior floors, rugs can do a lot for decks. Nice exterior ones are no longer so expensive and you can get them in all sorts of colors, textures, patterns and shapes.
Prep is key for any product of course.
This stuff is not really like a stain. It is thick, really thick, that is why so little coverage per gallon. You use a special furnished roller and it almost feels rubbery when applied. And if i'm not mistaken it has grit in it to be non slippery And it is very messy to apply. Now having said that let me say I have never used it this info is from a friend who used it so it is second hand info. Can't find much on how it will hold up since it's a pretty new product. I guess I should say I'm talking about RESTORE.

He's patching while he's priming, she's priming while she's patching.....
I love these kind of products, they actually destroy the decking below and the framing... Full replacement after a few years of that garbage on the deck. Water WILL get in and it won't get out very easily and overall they just look like poo.
Another thing to consider before using this product. Since they seem to make the deck surface very hot in full sun, consider your pets who may go out onto the deck and then into the yard to do their business........their paws will get scorched.

Harrisburg (Pennsylvania) Civilian Public Service Unit No. 93 at the Harrisburg State Hospital was opened in April 1943 and was closed in August 1946. During its existence, 69 men were assigned to the mental hospital unit. In 1944-45 a Christian Workers' School was conducted in the unit. The Anniversary Review - Mental Hygiene Number (May 1945) gave a history of the unit.

global co-operative movement in the 1950s
1963. Change of name, to the Co-operative Women's Guild,
reflecting a closer association with other co-operative societies.
International Women's Co-operative Guild subsumed as a committee of
the International co-operative Alliance
Margaret Llewelyn
Davies grew up in a family with strong convictions and a
commitment to involvement in public life. Her father was a
Christian Socialist and strong supporter of women's rights. Her
aunt, Emily Sarah Davies had helped to found Girton College
Cambridge, where Margaret studied from 1881 to 1883.
Margaret Llewelyn Davies joined the Women's Co-operative Guild
soon after it was founded in 1883 and became its General Secretary
in 1889. She continued in this role for 32 years, during which time
she never accepted a salary. The papers of the Women's Co-operative
Guild are held at Hull University Archives.
During her leadership the WCG campaigned for a minimum wage for
all women co-operative employees (achieved in 1912) and campaigned
for reform to divorce laws, with Llewelyn Davies giving evidence to
the Royal Commission. She also campaigned for ante-natal, natal and
post-natal care, and in 1915 published a moving and influential
book about women's experiences of child-birth and child-rearing,
Maternity: letters from working women. The success of the
WCG continued after the retirement of Margaret Llewelyn Davies,
partly illustrated by its large publishing output. There was a
change in direction after the end of the Second World War and by
the 1960s Margaret Llewelyn Davies's socialism remained intact but
her feminist ideas appeared to have gone into retreat as domestic
issues prevailed.
The WCG took a pacifist stance during the First World War.
Llewelyn Davies was regarded as an outstanding campaigner in the
pacifist cause and was elected to the General Council of the Union
of Democratic Control, which called for a negotiated peace
settlement. In 1921 Llewelyn Davies helped to found the
International Women's Co-operative Guild.
Emmy Freundlich was a
democratic socialist member of the Austrian parliament and become
involved in the co-operative movement in Austria, playing a leading
role from 1919 onwards. She was the first president of the
International Guild of Co-operative Women, formed at the
International Co-operative Congress in Basle in 1921 and based in
Vienna. As Austrian representative, she was the sole woman delegate
to the Committee of the League of Nations in 1928; and was a noted
writer, with articles on politics and economics published in Europe
and America.
Freundlich seems to have had her first contact with the English
WCG in 1913 and soon built up a strong friendship and partnership
with Honora Enfield, active in the English Guild and the IWCG's
first secretary. The 1920s and 1930s were arguably the
International Guild's most productive and successful decades. The
new spirit of international co-operation influenced national
guilds, one lasting example is the English Guild's white poppies
for peace campaign in 1932.
Following Emmy Freundlich's arrest in February 1934, during the
Austrian civil war and subsequent crackdown on the Social
Democratic Party, the IWCG petitioned and campaigned for her
freedom. When she was released she spent some time in England, but
soon returned to Vienna and continued her political activities and
writing, until she was forced to more to England permanently in
1939. During the war the ICWG continued to work for peace and
disarmament, in collaboration with the League of Nations.
Freundlich moved to America in 1947 and represented the ICWG on the
Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.

I visited recently Tommy Hilfiger store and I couldn't resist to try on their daring yet demure Sleeveless colorblock dress. I saw it first online as one of their new beautiful outfits. However, it is just kind of expensive $148 CAN plus the tax.
In fairness I like this a lot. I can pair this with my high heels and complement with fashion accessories. But, the question is, would hubby's pocket willing to pay for this? Hmmm… we'll see!

Kentucky lawmakers have turned their attention to electronic cigarettes, but local doctors say their health impact is still hazy because of a lack of conclusive studies on the devices.
The rising popularity of e-cigarettes has brought conflicting opinions in the medical community. Some physicians support the devices as alternatives to smoking traditional cigarettes. But the lack of any oversight and the potential to lead nonsmokers on the path to addiction worries others.
"I think they're a double-edged sword," said Dr. Peter Locken, a radiation oncologist at Baptist Health Paducah. "If they're used in the short term to wean off cigarettes, I think they're a wonderful thing."
On the flip side, he said, the present lack of regulations in the manufacturing process means e-cigarette users could be exposing themselves to other toxins. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates only e-cigarettes that are marketed for therapeutic use.
E-cigarettes are battery-operated devices that use a heating element to vaporize solutions that often include nicotine. Dr. James O'Rourke, a cardiac and thoracic surgeon at Lourdes hospital, said they're likely safer for the lungs and heart than traditional cigarettes. They may lack the toxins, such as carbon monoxide, that burning paper produces.
"The bottom line is no one really knows the long-term effect (of e-cigarettes)," he said. "(But) any crutch you can use to get off cigarettes is going to be better than the alternative."
Others say that until more research is done, smokers should use therapies such as gum, patches or medication to quit.
"It's not an approved cessation (aid) by any means," said Jamie Smith, cancer control specialist with the Kentucky Cancer Program.
Health professionals also worry that the array of flavor options e-cigarettes offer, as well as vendors' claims that they're healthier than regular cigarettes, could lead more youngsters to experiment with the devices and become addicted. The Centers for Disease Control reported that use of e-cigarettes more than doubled between 2011 and 2012, increasing from 4.7 percent to 10.2 percent.
Even if e-cigarettes don't serve as a gateway to conventional tobacco use, O'Rourke said, the nicotine they contain is dangerous to developing hearts and nervous systems.
"Nicotine has ... toxic effects for growing children," he said. "It's a product that's addictive, like caffeine, and we tell our children not to drink energy drinks."
Two bills now in the Kentucky legislature - Senate Bill 109 and House Bill 309 - respond to this concern, effectively banning the sale of electronic cigarettes to minors.
Republican Sen. Paul Hornback, a tobacco farmer from Shelbyville, sponsored SB 109, which defines vapor products and alternative nicotine products. Under the bill, retailers would face the same penalties for selling e-cigarettes to minors as they would for selling tobacco products to anyone under 18. It cleared the Senate 36-2 earlier this month and is now under review by the House Licensing and Occupations Committee.
HB 309, sponsored by Louisville Democrat Joni Jenkins, would re-define tobacco products to include e-cigarettes. The House has yet to vote on the bill.
Local representatives say they're in favor of restricting e-cigarettes, especially when it comes to younger users.
"I think we need to regulate (e-cigarettes)," Rep. Gerald Watkins, D-Paducah, said. "They've been marketing them as a way to quit smoking, but actually I think that's rather deceptive. It's just an effort to get people addicted to e-cigarettes rather than tobacco cigarettes."
Watkins added that he generally supports measures that would discourage young people from starting to smoke, whether they opt for traditional or electronic devices.
Republican Richard Heath of Mayfield also voiced support for ban. But he and Watkins doubt that much will become of either bill this legislative session.
"We've only got one week left, and it just doesn't seem like it's a priority for anybody," he said.

Title: Money Grab not Public Health
On the effort to restrict e-cigs, 'Republican Sen. Paul Hornback, a *tobacco* farmer from Shelbyville, sponsored SB 109' that says it all right there.
As for Watkins.... has he ever been a smoker? I (stupidly) smoked for 25+ yrs and since I started using a vaporizer I havent had a real smoke for almost 6 months. No more coughing, no more stinky clothes and hair, far cheaper than real cigs, and a much happier Wife because of it. Once again Government overreacts driven by big money interests.

Tire Toss up
Hey all, I am looking for some input from everyone on what brand tire to get, I currently have 31 10.50's but with the new lift I just installed it looks like a rollerskate. i plan on installing 33 12.50's, however I'm not sure on the brand. My heart was set on Goodyear MT/r's or BFG MT, but I saw these sweet Mickey Thompson's Mud terrains that have a very aggresive looking sidewall. I would like to get the most bang for my buck for road use as well as crawling. I don't really care about road noise, that will just let everyone know a badass jeep is coming. any inputs?
if you want badass tires, look at the Baja Claws, i dont know how well they wear though.
The old Mickey Tompsons wor way to quick I have no experience with the new ones. My buddy has a 03 Rubi with the 33 12.50 Goodyear MTRs and I have the same size BFG Mudders, mine seam to be wearing less than his and I put a lot more miles on mine. I love the way they handle off road to. Good luck hope that helps you out.

In rocks the MTRs are better because their sidewall doesn´t damage as fast as the BFG MTs sidewall. In mud the BFG MTs are better.
But on the road escpecially in rain or snow both aren´t very good.
IMO the bfg's are a little over priced if you ask me. i have the dunlop mud rovers that have a good tread that works well on and off road. i was surprised at how well they did in the rain for a mud tire. there are better tires out but it all depends on your budget if you ask me.
I have 35x12.5 dunlop RVs and those things suck in the snow.
Check out Firestone Destination A/Ts, I have a set on my jeep and love them. They also make a Destination M/T that look pretty aggressive. The price on the A/Ts was really good too.
How much driving do you do on the street or is it a trail mostly vehicle? Mickey Thompson, Interco, and Goodyear are for pretty much all Off-road use. Two of them make tires for on road but your wear is going to be a good amount. Goodyear is a great tire for off-road and some will argue, but the tread is too soft and will wear horribly on road. I can say this becuase I rotate every 2k. BFG Mud Terrains(KM1) are a very stiff tire and they wear GREAT. I have had 4 sets of them, from my Jeep to when I had my fullsize chevy. More than 45k and still look BRAND NEW. Some will say that their sidewall was less then protectected, I personally NEVER had a problem. So BFG Fixed that rumor w/ the introduction of the KM2 and now the KM1 is being phased out. You can still get the KM1s but they are running scarce. This Km2 is no joke.

BFGoodrich Tires | Mud-Terrain? T/A® KM | Tire Overview
As far as dunlop mud rovers I have nothing. Destination M/Ts I wouldn't recommend them. I am running a set on my Rubi right now, and I hate every minute of them.
I am really partial to BFG becuase I have never had a problem.
Good Luck and let us know what you find.
check out a set of maxxis bighorns I got some a while back and they ride really good on road and in mud
Hankook Dynapro MTs are awesome all around tires. I had them in the sands and mud of the ocala ntl forest in FL to the jagged rocks here in west texas they are by far the best MTs I have ever ran and they are great on the highway I put my tires through some pretty rough stuff and have never had a problem. And I think they look good to check em out
Thanks everyone, it is my daily driver but on weekends I take it out in the desert and there are some pretty nasty jagged rocks, not to mention the cactus. My main concern is sidewall wear, hate to pop one while out crawlin, as for rain or snow that happens out here about as much as a ford keeping up with me on the hills :D. One friend of mine has the BFG's and the other has the Goodyears, to which they both say that their tires are awesome.
Hankooks sidewalls are bad ass cactus mesquite trees and them annoying little mesquite stumps never hurt mine i have them on my tacoma. I have seen more problems with the KM2s than the Hankooks.
I like my tacoma it dont break as much as my Jeep did. Maybe I should paint it pink that way it would attract even more fine ass ladies you might just be on to something....:appl:

There's inventiveness galore in tonight's martial arts double, writes Philippa Hawker.
This month's Chinatown Classic Double is an exercise in contrasts; two kinds of approach to the notion of martial arts inventiveness.
In The Tai Chi Master (1993) Jet Li creates a kinder, gentler form of combat that gives the film its title; in Eagle-Shooting Heroes (1994), executive producer Wong Kar-wai, action director Sammo Hung and director Jeff Lau take apart the traditional martial arts movie and put the ingredients back together upside down and inside out.
The Tai Chi Master, directed by Yuen Wo-ping, is the story of two young Shaolin monks, Tianbao (Chin Siu-ho) and Junbao (Li), friends since boyhood.
Tianbao, right from the beginning, displays unbecoming ambition. In a contest, he loses control, and is expelled from the monastery: Junbao goes to his defence and is kicked out as well.
For a little while, they travel together, until Tianbao decides to throw in his lot with the forces of the murderous, high-taxing Royal Eunuch: Junbao stays with a small band of dissidents, who include Qiushue (Michelle Yeoh), a volatile women with some impressive kung fu skills.
The paths of the two friends cross several times and each time the stakes are higher. But it's not until a brief bout of distracted madness that Junbao finds a way to tackle his former friend, with a new martial arts skill derived from paying attention to nature.
There is, predictably, plenty of giddy wire-work in The Tai Chi Master, which is an invigorating, agreeable action movie: a good deal of furniture is destroyed in combat (including a scene in which Yeoh turns table-legs into stilts), and there's a nifty pole-fighting sequence early in the film.
If the comedy in The Tai Chi Master is a little tentative, it's full-blown, all-stops-out in Eagle Shooting Heroes.
The film could be described as a parody of Ashes of Time, Wong Kar-wai's gorgeous, unsettling, stylised martial arts saga: but it could also be characterised as a Through-the-Looking-Glass, Down-the-Rabbit-Hole, Let's-Go-Crazy companion piece, made in a parallel universe but drawing on the same material, and using almost all the same all-star cast.
Absurd, gross, overblown comical, hallucinatory, Eagle Shooting Heroes features action sequences galore, monsters, flying shoes, gender-bending confusion, slapstick and torture by centipede.
The Classic Chinatown Double screens tonight at the Chinatown Cinema, 200 Bourke Street, upstairs. The Tai Chi Master screens at 7.30pm, Eagle Shooting Heroes at 9.20pm.

Legacy in Disarray -- A special report.; Egos, Art and Big Money: Warhol Riches Fade Away
By ALISON LEIGH COWAN with CAROL VOGEL
Published: June 12, 1994
As a provocateur who turned soup cans into art, Andy Warhol was not always taken seriously. But as a philanthropist whose fortune was well above $100 million when he died, his legacy seemed assured.
Now the foundation that bears his name is mired in a financial mess that threatens its ability to carry on the mission of using Warhol's millions to benefit the visual arts. An institution that once had a $25 million cash cushion, and that was trumpeted as a major new force in the art world, is down to $6 million of cash and securities -- barely enough to cover this year's operating expenses.
What's more, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts increasingly makes ends meet by selling off millions of dollars worth of art by Warhol himself and by other artists whose work he voraciously collected.
These conversions of art to cash are so inefficient, critics of the foundation say, that more good would be done if it simply gave everything away and went out of business. Foundation executives say they inherited such a tangle of legal and logistical problems that only now, after seven years, are they on the right track and confident enough to trim jobs and move to smaller offices.
Some of the problems have splashed into the news by way of Manhattan Surrogate Court, where a former lawyer for the Warhol estate who expected to be paid a percentage of the artist's fortune is suing for up to $11.5 million he claims he is still owed. A judge has so far sided with the lawyer by ruling that outside appraisers badly understated just how much art was conveyed by the estate to the foundation.
A review of the foundation's books and of minutes from its directors' meetings, along with interviews with foundation insiders and outside experts, shows that a lot can go wrong when people set out to do good with a great deal of money and fuzzy vision. And the fact that these people include some of the most colorful figures in modern art and philanthropy has thrown the quarreling and confusion into sharp relief.
One outcome is that the foundation spent $7.2 million on administrative costs in the 12 months ended April 30, 1994, while giving away $1.1 million in cash to various charities, a ratio far worse than that of similar groups, which typically spend 11 cents for every dollar they donate. The foundation's cumulative record is not very good either: since its inception, it has spent $21 million and given away $23 million to some 600 groups, spending 91 cents on itself for every dollar donated. Payroll is the single biggest expense category, but lawyers and other outside professionals also devour huge fees each year.
Much of the trouble can be traced to Andy Warhol's will, a simple 11-page document that left nearly all of his assets to charity, specifically a foundation created "for the advancement of the visual arts." Beyond that, Warhol left much to the imagination.
At stake was a breathtaking bonanza, easily worth $100 million and perhaps as much as $800 million. By the time Warhol died, in 1987 after gall bladder surgery, the 58-year-old artist had acquired millions of dollars of Montauk, L.I., acreage, a Manhattan town house crammed with antiques, and a lifetime of quirky flea-market finds, including the homely cookie jars that posthumously fetched his estate $250,000 at Sotheby's.
The hidden jewel, however, was a contemporary art collection that rivaled in size the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art. It featured some 700 paintings, 9,000 drawings, 19,000 prints, and 66,000 photographs by the fecund Mr. Warhol, along with works by other contemporary artists. The art, by all accounts, was conservatively valued above $100 million.
Initially in charge of all this was Frederick W. Hughes, the marketing impresario whom many people credit with turning Andy Warhola, a little-known, Pittsburgh-trained artist, into Andy Warhol, toast of New York.
Mr. Hughes, as the executor of Mr. Warhol's estate, was there at Mr. Warhol's death to round up the artist's assets and to distribute them not only to his heirs but chiefly to a vehicle he created to do the artist's philanthropic bidding: the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
For three years, Mr. Hughes had more say than anyone as to how Mr. Warhol's millions were spent. Since 1990, however, the foundation has been run by Archibald L. Gillies, a professional manager whom Mr. Hughes hand-picked to preside over the foundation and then tried to remove.
Technically, as long as the foundation has tens of millions of dollars of art on its books, it is far from bankrupt. But it needs cash to pay its bills and to finance such ambitious dreams as a definitive catalogue of Warhol's work, which would cost some $3.5 million. So far it has made ends meet only by raiding its vaults for a "Mickey Mouse," a "Liz Taylor" or another Warhol memento it can turn into quick cash, and by the fortuitous arrival of multimillion-dollar gifts each year from the artist's estate. These one-time fixes do little to insure the foundation's long-term survival.

When visiting Takua Pa, Fanari Khaolak Resort - Courtyard Zone is a great choice to consider. Guests can indulge in massages or mani/pedis, then grab a bite to eat at the restaurant. 3 outdoor pools and a poolside bar are other highlights, and rooms offer up nice touches like down comforters and bathrobes.


text: TULSA, Okla., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CAVU Resources, Inc. ("CAVU"), which trades as OTC:CAVR.PK, announced, after lengthy negotiations, that its subsidiary CAVU Energy Services, Inc. has entered into a Letter of Intent to merge on a stock for stock basis with CAVU Global Energy, LLC. ("CAVU GLOBAL"). In a separate transaction CAVU Resources, Inc. will convey 100% of its ownership in the Chisholm and Hogshooter leases, along with approximately $1,000,000 in debt, for a combined 40% ownership including the existing dividend shares in the surviving future public company CAVU Energy Services, Inc. CAVU GLOBAL is currently providing funds on both the Hogshooter and Chisholm leases and has agreed to fund the entire future development of these projects and to pay off all debts associated with these leases. CAVU GLOBAL plans to engage a geological and engineering firm to complete a PV 10 study for reserves and recoverable production values of the combined company assets that includes the approximately 21,000 acres of oil and gas leases in Milam County, Texas, 900 acres in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, 140 acre Chisholm lease in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and 820 acre Hogshooter lease in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. CAVU GLOBAL is also contributing these additional assets to the merger including a recently acquired Private Corporate Bond in the amount of $100 million to be used as an asset to secure funding for existing and future projects. CAVU GLOBAL also recently entered into an agreement to acquire a revolutionary high efficient electric motor that can be used in energy production, storage and to power vehicles. CAVU GLOBAL continues to explore government and institutional funding of the Mobile Refinery technology in its contracted market of Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, Texas and Utah. "We believe this is the quickest path to fully capitalize both companies and with private institutional funds available to immediately begin the audit and the S 1 filing process needed for CAVU Energy Services, Inc. to be a publicly traded Company within six months. The $100 million bond and proprietary technologies and oil and gas properties in some of the most lucrative areas gives the backing and future revenue to obtain funding and to utilize the capital markets for our very strong forecasted growth," commented Chris Wilks, managing member of CAVU Global Energy, LLC. In a proxy unanimously voted for last year, shareholders of CAVU voted to spin out the CAVU Energy Services, Inc. as a stock dividend and to seek the opportunity to go public. This transaction fulfills this mandate and will require the shareholder approval of both companies to complete the proposed merger. It is anticipated that an S-1 Registration Statement will be filed immediately with the Securities and Exchange Commission upon completion of the audit of both companies.

I decided to give Aveeno's Positively Ageless line a try, so I picked up the Youth Perfecting Moisturizer SPF 30 and Resurfacing Scrub. I love them both. The moisturizer is thick, but it didn't feel heavy on my skin. It melted right in. The scrub was nice too – very gentle with a nice fragrance. The moisturizer has a light fragrance too, but the scent doesn't linger on your skin. Thanks Aveeno!

Easy Pumpkin Facial Recipe
Lately I've been oding on pumpkin! I mean it's been pumpkin coffee, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pie, pumpkin this and pumpkin that! If it comes in pumpkin flavor, I'm ordering it! So naturally, after seeing this news report about all the different pumpkin facials spas are offering, I decided I wanted to try a pumpkin facial right now!
Then I thought, how could I make a homemade version? And that's when I went to my pantry and started mixing up a recipe! Pumpkin spa day here I come!
I mixed some Libby's pumpkin puree (about 1/8 cup) with 1 tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. You could also go the super old fashioned way and boil down pumpkin and water to create your own puree. The pumpkin alone has tons of benefits for your skin. It's loaded with vitamins A, C, and E, which have been proven to improve the appearance of skin. Pumpkins also have carotenoids that help fight free radicals and wrinkles. Cinnamon helps plump your skin and gets rid of acne by bringing blood and oxygen to the surface of your skin. Sugar, of course, is a great natural exfoliator.
After exfoliating my skin, I applied a pumpkin face mask. I used equal parts pumpkin puree and facial moisturizer. I worked it in and soaked up all the vitamins for about 20 minutes. I rinsed and re applied moisturizer. My skin felt great afterwards and it gave me a nice glow! Now I'm off to go get me a pumpkin latte, I just can't get enough!

This is the ultimate gentle cleanser. It's pH balanced, so it doesn't strip your skin of its natural oils. It's clear and fragrance free, and also has anti-aging properties , because it's formulated with Green Tea and Cucumber which are both anti-inflammatory. It also contains Resveratrol to help fight off free-radicals. It easily removes makeup and impurities, leaving your skin in the perfect condition to apply the anti aging cream.
LifeCell Cooling Under-Eye Treatment
I love the applicator cooling tip. It glides on smoothly while cooling and applying the eye cream evenly. This white fragrance free cream targets under eye wrinkles and bags. The cooling tip helps ward off puffiness and reduces tugging around the under eye area. It's formulated with Vitamin C Ester, DMAE, and Retinol to aid in its anti-aging properties.
LifeCell All-In-One Anti-Aging Treatment
This treatment is lightweight, fragrance free and hypoallergenic. It has a yellowish tint to it with a powdery finish. It leaves your skin like a perfect blank canvas for your makeup application. It can be used all over – under eye, lips, neck and even your décolleté. Ingredients include, Clinical-strength DMAE, Retinol and Vitamin C Ester, CoQ10, and Shea Butter. These ingredients work together to hydrate, build collagen to firm and sculpt your skin. Click here to learn more about these ingredients.
I enjoyed using this trio to combat the signs of aging. Since I'm still in my twenties, I have minimal signs of aging and I contribute that to starting a skin routine early on in life; however, I really enjoyed the quality of these products – especially the cleanser! I like to use it with my Clarisonic from time to time. All three products contain ingredients proven to improve the look and feel of your skin.
Aveeno Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash is great for dry skin. It's gentle on your skin and not harsh like some body washes that are soapy and overly scented. It has a white creamy consistency and lathers up well. It's lightly scented with lavender and chamomile extracts help sooth and calm you as you wash the day away. It was nice to switch it up a bit – since I have dry skin I always stick to one kind of body wash, but this one did the trick!
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion is a best seller because it's good stuff! I don't even have to say much about this lotion because it's been tried and true. It feels light, but moisturizes like a heavy weight. It contains oatmeal to help nourish your skin and keep it supple.
Using both products together has greatly improved my skin. Sometimes we need to shake up our beauty routine to see better results.
Samples of both products will be available in this month's Beauty Box!
Beauty Box 5 is a monthly beauty sample subscription box. Each box contains 4 – 5 samples of beauty products. Click here to check out my Beauty Box 5 review.

Best plant selection in SLC area?
I am on vacation in utah and was hoping to find a store in the SLC area with a good selection of plants any suggestions? I went by Animal Ark already they had some ok plants looked fairly healthy. Any others that someone can recommend? I wish I could buy some SAE's from animal ark but don't think they would survive the drive back to California. ( 10 hours ) :(
Anybody from Utah have any input?
Any utahns out there?
1 Attachment(s)
This is a VERY late reply, but on aquatic utah there are a good amount of active members, I always buy from them, or sometimes one of the two animal arks, I imagine you are back in california, but hopefully next time you are here you have better luck.

I posted in the "new here" area a couple days ago, asking which type of gun you guys would suggest for a first time buyer and lefty shooter. After firing revolvers and semi autos alike, I went to the local gun shop and fell in love with the feel and weight of the Glock 21. I immediately said I would take it. Final price for it and 2 ammo boxes of 50 was $546. I didn't think that was a bad deal at all, but again I am new.
I ran almost 50 shots through it before calling it a day and love it even more than the .45 cal I shot the otherday. The glock has alot less kick. I can not even imagine what the compensated version is like, being this one kicks so little that I was able to hit an old 5 gallon bucket 7 out of 11 times while completely unloading it as fast as I could.
Now.....being I am an accessory whore.....what do you guys recommend in the area of aftermarket parts? I have yet to get a holster as well, being I know that I hate the neoprene or the canvas ones. That was all the gun shop carried. Thanks for all of your input ahead of time, guys. I hope to have some pictures up soon.......knowing that you all know what a model 21 looks like, but I can not help but be proud. :smt1099


text: Can any 2009 CTS-V owners with an automatic transmission verify something for me? I've noticed that when I have the shift mode in 'manaul', i.e. shifting either with the paddle shifters or the gear selecter itself, the car will only return to 2nd gear upon coming to a stop. I thought I had read in the owners manual that the transmission should return to 1st gear when in manual mode. Please note, I'm not referring to the normal practice of the car to start in 2nd gear when in 'normal' or 'sport' mode, but rather it's inablitlity to fully downshift into 1st when coming to a stop in 'manual' mode.

327 sbc build 68 nova
Hey guess brand new member. I have a 68 nova with full manual race built th-350 and ford 9 inch 4.10 gears. I used to want big power(young and dumb) now I just want a street rig and maybe a run at the strip couple times a year. I need some help with my build, when I was a lot younger I bought a race 327 with a monster cam, it is not streetable at all, has not been run in 2 years. Its bored .40 over with a forged crank, hypereutectic flat tops and 2.02 1.60 double camel heads with roller rockers suppoes to be 10 to 1 motor. The plan is to put the comp cams nostalgia plus L79(cam part number 12-671-4) cam kit includes new lifters, valve spings and timing chain with edelbrock air gap rpm and edelbrock thunder series 650 carb and complete mallory ignition with 6al box. Is this a decent setup? ok for street or no? any suggestions? pump gas ok? Also what stall converter should I run? i was thinking 2400 stall?
anything I forgot just ask.
Just me, but I wouldn't buy any parts relying on what its "supposed" to be. JMO I would remove the heads and measure chamber volume, the pistons distance from the block deck at TDC, and valve reliefs volume(confirm they're not domed), and the use the information in one of the online CR calculators like: http://cochise.uia.net/pkelley2/dcrvb6.zip
Besides if it hasn't been run in a couple of years you may want to check for rust on the cylinders, and the condition of the bearings while your in there.
But like I said, thats just me.
sorry should have been more clear. The motor was a long block, before I installed it in the car I popped a head off and yes they are flat top 40 over. The heads are 291 casting so they are 2.02 1.60 with 63 cc correct?. The motor is currently in the car and has been in a garage never below 55. Should I still be worried about rust? It currently has a 750 holley double pumper. The current cam is a howard cam advertised 289 and 294 and lift 488 and 503. power band is 3000 to 6200. Sucks on the street!
Figuring on the piston at .025 in the hole, .041 gasket and 7cc valve reliefs, 63 cc heads, I see your static c.r. around 9.09:1; even at 10:1 with a good tune you should survive good pump gas. Aluminum heads would be more insurance.
Are 291 castings double hump?
Yes they double hump
thats hardly a wild cam.Thats a fun engine.If you dont like that type of power,perhaps a hydraulic flat tappet 350 is better for you?
the car was fun. just sucked on the street. It idled at 1150 and had no power under 3000k. I was told by a couple guys that the cam in it is way to big for smaller cube motor unless I want to run 3500 stall and 4.56 gears
327 does not make much torque at low RPM. If you like torque build a bigger engine,use a longer stroke for lower rpm response
I get that the 327 doesn't make big torque, I am just wanting to make my nova a cruiser that is not slow as hell and I don't want a 350, like to be different. lol basically just wanted to see if I was on the right track to make the motor more street able with a little snap and keep decent sound. My buddy is trying to convince me to build a 406 sbc. Which I would love to do but still don't fill confident enough to tackle something like that.
I like a 327 that revs to 7200 rpm.you need the gears to make the power use able. best bet is a moderate solid lifter or either kind of roller. Flat tappet hydraulic would be my last choice. A 750 carb is perfect
The 283's and 327's were indeed fun motors, I ran a tunnel ram 331 in a 4-speed Vega gasser in the early '70's, in Alaska for years, it would stand on the bumper no problem, but the power came at the expense of high rpm and a lot of broken parts, look at some of Grumpy's old cars beating up on the BB's. And yes, that can make them finicky on the street, the days of side stepping the clutch at 9k are gone, not that we ever did that on the street...:rolleyes: :nono:
You can still have fun with a small cube, reasonable c.r. motor, compensate with gears and match parts.
If you follow good assembly practice, this can be a very nice combination with some minor head work. See my combo (similar with a version of that cam) and dyno sheets. Note my torque is almost ruler flat for 2,500 RPMs and that's a big power band that works well on the street.

I ended up ordering the comp cams nostalgia l79 kit. Going to run edelbrock 650 with current air gap intake and mallory ignition setup. I was told by the guy that built it they were the 2.02 heads. Hopefully he didnt lie. Going to run a 2400 stall along with 4.11 gears with trac lock. If it doesnt work live and learn. I still want to build a 406 sbc
The cam I ordered is not alot smaller no, but the lobe seperation is 112 vs my old cams 106. So I know that will have a pretty big effect on getting going. Should move the powerband down also correct? Yes i understand I will give up peak power for a flat power band. I know the cam powerbands are based on a 350, which according to comp cam is 1800-6200 for the l79 plus. So I figured 2000ish for the 327? That why I said 2400 converter? Correct me If i am wrong. It is still not to late to cancel my order.

Lionsgate's Texas Chainsaw 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hoopers 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family or so they thought.Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansions dank cellars

Folkestra at Celtic Connections - words from our participants!
Folkestra at Celtic Connections
Founded and directed by renowned Northumbrian musician and Folkworks Artistic Director Kathryn Tickell, Folkestra our outstanding and unique regional youth folk ensemble – part of the Young Musician's Programme. Here's a report from the Folkestra front line from one of the participants:
In October 2011, Folkestra found out that we would be taking part in Celtic Connections in January 2012, going up to Glasgow for a weekend. After three months of looking forward in anticipation, we wondered if the event was going to live up to our expectations. The short answer is no. It far surpassed them!!
We travelled up from Sage Gateshead on the Friday night, on a seemingly endless bus journey, finally arriving in Glasgow at about half past ten. As soon as rooms had been allocated Folkestra started a session in the breakfast room of the Holiday Inn Express. The leaders finally got us into our rooms around midnight.
Folkestra had a sound test in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on Saturday morning for a slot in a joint afternoon concert with some students from the Glasgow Traditional Music course. The concert was really well received by a sold out audience. The band really enjoyed playing in the concert, and it was a great experience listening to the other music students.
After the concert, Folkestra members went their separate ways in groups, some going back to the Holiday Inn to get changed, others going off into Glasgow, and the rest going off to find a session in one of Glasgow's many venues. We all regrouped to go and see Breabach, an absolutely amazing Scottish folk band, with bagpipers/whistlers, a fiddler, a guitarist and a double bass player. After the concert, we went to another part of the Concert Hall to listen to the Late Night Session, a conglomeration of all that day's performers, each playing a few sets. After a foray into Glasgow for a McDonalds, we discovered on our return to the Session that all persons under the age of 18 had to be out of the building by 1am (something to do with the licensing of the premises), much our disappointment.
Sunday morning was allocated as free time, for the band to have a lie in, although some of the more adventurous ones wandered into Glasgow to a music shop for one of the band members to try out an accordion. We eventually found the place… but that's another story. Later, some of the band went busking, raising £90.37 in less than an hour on a cold January Sunday lunchtime in Glasgow city centre. We considered this quite an achievement!!
Folkestra then went to Glasgow Arts Centre to play in the Showcase Scotland Spotlight England concert. We really played our hearts out, on a tiny little stage – have you ever tried playing the fiddle when you are shoulder to shoulder with the person next to you? Everyone there seemed really impressed; we even got a standing ovation from one chap! Lots of international delegates were there, so we are hoping for future trips overseas. After the performance, we said a sad farewell to Glasgow, and boarded the bus for the long slog back to Gateshead.
Folkestra had an absolutely fantastic weekend. It was a great musical experience, and a chance to relax and socialise after (although in some cases before) exams. I am sure that everyone would love to go again next year! – Matthew Jordan

The Lakeland Police Department wants to remind motorists to Click It or Ticket this holiday season. Each year, the Thanksgiving holiday is one of the busiest travel times, millions of people will be travelling to visit with family and friends. What this means is that there will be more vehicles on the roads, and more danger as we travel. It is always important to buckle up, but when there are the additional vehicles on the roads, it is more important than ever. We want everyone to have a happy and safe holiday season; therefore the Lakeland Police Department will join with departments across the state in the Click It or Ticket Safety Belt Enforcement Wave. The enforcement runs from Monday, November 17, 2014 through Sunday, November 30, 2014 at midnight.
Nationwide, seat belt usage is at an all-time high of 87 percent, but the Click It or Ticket campaign aims to reach that remaining 14 percent. In 2012, there were 10,335 unbuckled occupants killed in crashes—52 percent of all passenger vehicle occupants killed that year. At night, the numbers are even more disturbing. During the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in 2012, law enforcement noted that 69 percent of the passenger vehicle occupants killed at night were unrestrained, as compared to 46 percent during the day.
The single best thing anyone can do to protect themself and save lives is to buckle up. It only takes a second!
For more information about traveling safely during Thanksgiving, please visit www.trafficsafetymarketing.gov.

On July 23, 2014, a dark colored vehicle was traveling southbound in the inside lane on State Road 37 (South Florida Avenue) in the 2600 block. The vehicle drifted left of center and entered the shared center turn lane where construction workers were located. The vehicle struck several construction barrels and subsequently struck a construction worker, later identified as Shelby Kenneth Shull, 44 years of age. The collision with pedestrian Shull resulted in his death. The vehicle failed to stop after the impacts and continued southbound.
Investigative leads resulted in information that the vehicle at the time of the crash was a black 2006 Jeep Wrangler and was being operated by Dustin Halstead, 21 years of age. The vehicle was located and an Inspection of the vehicle revealed biohazard on the hood. The vehicle was impounded as evidence and processed for the aforementioned biohazard inside the Lakeland Police crime lab. The samples were submitted to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) for DNA comparison with the blood obtained from decedent Shull. FDLE Lab report revealed a DNA match between the samples.
On Wednesday October 15, 2014 at approximately 2:30 p.m., Dustin Halstead turned himself into Traffic Homicide Investigator Michael Catalano on the charge of - Leaving the Scene of a Crash involving Death, a first degree felony. Halstead was transported and turned over to the Polk County Jail in Bartow.

Top 10 Boston Red Sox Base'Brawls'
The bench-clearing brawl this week between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres was one of the biggest and most costly in years. Dodger's pitcher Zack Greinke has a broken collarbone and Padre's hitter Carlos Quinten has been suspended for 8 days. The scrum got us thinking about some of the battles the Red Sox have been involved in. The most notable, Jason Varitek taking down Alex Rodriguez in 2003.

Data Recovery & Backup
- Who you want to automate regular back-ups
- Lost 6 months of baby photos when computer crashed
- Data recovery for failed hard drive
- I lost everything on my hard drive!
- More advice about computer services
Who you want to automate regular back-upsNov 2006
I have become an evangelist for computer back-up systems. Until 6 weeks ago I (very ignorantly) didn't even know that a ''crash'' could be more than an annoyance, and I backed up on CD's whenever I got around to it, sometimes regularly, and sometimes, um, not so regularly at all.
Then, my less-than-a-year-old computer totally and completely crashed, and I learned that any hard drive, of any age, on any type or brand of computer, can crash suddenly any time. I also realized that I hadn't done a back-up for 6 months.
The computer is being replaced under warranty, but the cost of data recovery was on me, as was the cost of my business program specialist to try to restore corrupted files, and the cost of my bookkeeper to re-enter the data from the last 6 months (the crash was so bad that the unbacked-up files were unrestorable even by the company that makes the software).
I have already spent about 20 hours sorting through thousands of recovered data files (all file names were lost, they have only numbers, and are randomly grouped) and I'm maybe halfway through them. It's been a complete, and an expensive, nightmare.
I'm sure that many of you already knew all this and already have good back-up systems in place, but I've been surprised how many of my friends, including some like me with small businesses, were as casual about backing up as I was.
I now have an external hard drive programmed to do daily back-ups, and am preaching the 'back-up your data gospel'! Ignorance Is Not Bliss
Lost 6 months of baby photos when computer crashedMarch 2005
I crashed my old Window's based computer and am hoping I can get some of the data back. Can anyone recommend a service? We lost six months of baby photos and want them back! Thanks. Laura
We lost all the photos from the first week of our twins' lives (though it was a corrupted memory card, not a computer crash that caused it). We sent it to DriveSavers (http://www.drivesavers.com). They recovered all the photos from the card, plus old photos that we'd already deleted! The service wasn't cheap--$250 or something--but we were desperate, and it was worth it. I'm pretty sure they refund you everything if they can't recover your data. Also, they're in Novato, so turnaround is quick. Genevieve
Think there is a link on the Berkeley webpage to a recovery company called Data Recovery Group, in San Leandro, and their number is 888 462 3282. I had a similar problem (accidentally reformatted my hard drive). They gave me a rough cost estimate of $1000. The data and pictures I lost weren't that valuable so I tried to go it on my own. Thus, I went to C-Net's Download.com and typed in data recovery. From there you could see many different programs that would recover data. You could run trials on most of these. Some trial runs were not very helpful since they would only pull up files of a smaller size and I too was looking for lost pictures. I also found that most of these programs are not user friendly. Files would be located but stored under weird names and hard to search through to find what you were looking for. So, if they could find the data it was going to take a ton of time and be hard to find the specific files you are searching for. I bought full versions of a couple of programs for $50 - $75 each after trying them out and had a couple of false attempts. I finally found one program that worked pretty well for me called GetDataBack Recovery 2.3.1 (www.runtime.org). I don't think it recovered all my photos but it recovered most of them.
Although this was cumbersome this solution worked for me since the data was not critical. I should also note that I had to buy a hard drive so that the recovered files could be placed on a separate drive. Thus, the total cost to me was probably $300 for this process. Jennifer
Hi, there, I lost all the pictures of my newborn baby boy when my computer crash. I could not even turn it on! All my life was in that hard drive and I had to recover the data. Well... I was quoted over $1k to get this done. So... I sent my hard drive to be fixed in Brazil (it helps that I am Brazilian but they speak perfect English). I was amazed on how professional and responsive they were. They were able to recover ALL the data and it did not cost me even $200.00 dollars. I would be glad to give you more details if you are interested, just email me. Meanwhile, you can check their website www.helpnow.com.br (in portuguese).
Data recovery for failed hard driveOct 2004
Hello everyone, I am hoping that someone out there can help me out on this. My computer broke down and I lost all the pictures of my 3-month- old baby boy. Including the ones from his birth! That's right, I didn't have a backup and now they are gone! Please help! All my contacts in Outlook (years of friends, family, work contacts) are gone! I am so crushed you can't imagine. But I surely learned my lesson. We contacted some data recovery firms but learned that the recovery of the data costs around $1500.00. I don't think I can afford that. So I am hoping that someone out there has an affordable, reliable and responsible source to recover this data . Any advice or recommendation is welcome at this point. Thanks so much from this bummed mom.
Before you go to the trouble of a remote repair company, you might try doing it yourself. If your harddrive isn't physically dead (ie making scratching or grinding sounds), try software by www.runtime.org to see if you can rebuild index files needed to read your drive. Corruption of these indexes or loss of them because of a local sector failure might be your issue. Runtimes products are good and pretty easy to use and you only pay if you can recover your data. If it is making grinding or other ugly noises do NOT keep trying to boot or fix it, you will only damage your data more. Good Luck!
We just had a horrible incident where we neglected to transfer our digital photos from one computer to another, then REFORMATTED the old computer. Arrgh. Completely panicked, we called Jaime Florence of MicroForensics and he was able to recover a good percentage of photos from our hard drive and digital camera flash memory cards. His phone is (415) 482-9952 (Direct); Mobile (415) 297-9958; E-Mail: jaime AT MicroForensics.com Web Site http://microforensics.com. We were very pleased. Good luck! Star
I lost everything on my hard drive!April 2002
HELP! I lost everything on my hard drive by following (to the letter!) the instructions of a Dell Technical Support technician. Ironically, I had called Dell because I was having trouble backing up data from my hard drive to diskettes. Anyway, Dell has offered me $100, an apology and an 800 number for a data recovery company that can (maybe) recover what I lost for $1,200 - $1,800. This seems totally inadequate to me in terms of recompense. Does anyone out there have experience with this type of computer disaster? Should I try to get Dell to cover the cost of data recovery? Is there another company or individual that someone can recommend that might be able to do this more cheaply? Most of what I lost is in Excel and Word and I have not been using my computer since this happened a few days ago (I'm sending this e-mail from someone else's computer). Thanks in advance for any advice! jennifer
I am really sorry about your hard drive crash. I wanted to suggest that you give Steve Edlen of Berkeley Backup, 510-848-5990, a call before you spend over $1000 at a data recovery place. I'm not sure he'll be able to help you, but he is very honest and very reasonably priced, so he won't waste either your time or money. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about Steve until after I'd spent $1000 on data recovery five years ago, so I don't have firsthand data recovery experience with him, but I've been very pleased when I've used him for general systems setup and similar work, and he was highly recommended to me. Good luck. Norma
Whether you can get your data recovered or not depends a lot on what the Dell technician did. Given their response, I'd guess that they think he/she was at fault and there is a good chance that you can recover your data. I can tell you for certain that you will in all likelihood not get any more money from them (I'm surprised you got any money at all). If you read the warranty they are very clear that they are not responsible for any lost data. You might also confirm with the folks at Dell that your warranty won't in anyway be affected by you attempting data recovery, since it expressly forbids folks from opening the harddrive. I'm sure they'll extend it but you should get this in writing)
That being said, usually you can get an evaluation from a data recovery service for a fixed fee, which can then be applied to the repair if they think it can be done. I've worked with a few vendors on this, and the one easiest to use from the East Bay is the Data Recovery Group in San Leandro. Their Website is: www.datarecoverygroup.com
Most of the time, folks get an evaluation and decide not to go ahead with the recovery effort because it is so expensive, especially on the very large drives that come standard with most PC's. The only times I've seen folks go through with it are when they aren't personally footing the bill. All of this is said as someone who has been dealing with harddrive failures in some form or another professionally for more than fifteen years. As always, the best defense against hardware failure is good backups. (and off site backups, if you can). Myriam

Opposing Forces: Two Exhibits to See Before Christmas
Thanksgiving came and went, and the Christmas lights went up faster than you can say "Black Friday." The season is upon us—the season of parades, of family, of thanks, beauty and giving. It is a season marked by visual splendor, from Christmas lights and snowy mountaintops, to gingerbread houses, parade floats and the glitzy intrigue of wrapping paper.
There is a traceable line between the spirit of the holiday season and the ethos of visual art, both of which build upon and reflect a collective understanding of our shared experiences, almost regardless of religion in this day and age. They carry with them an innate lineage unseen in almost all other objects or experiences that pull at our nostalgic heartstrings while moving steadily into the future.
Washington is abuzz with activities and events through the end of the year. If you are among the many households with family coming to town for the holidays, there are going to be plenty of options to keep your restless out-of-towners distracted. For those so visually predisposed, there are two unique and interesting museum exhibits which are both complimentary and starkly contrasting, and which hover beyond the radar of most visitors to the city so accustomed to the prevalence of the Smithsonian and National Gallery. The offerings at The Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts will please any audience, while taking them around the city for a true taste of the holidays in Washington.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts is exhibiting "Wanderer," an exhibit of travel prints, drawings and original printing plates by Ellen Day Hale (1855–1940), on view through January 5, which demonstrate the artist's passion for travel and her mastery of printmaking. Hale achieved acclaim as a renowned portrait painter and printmaker, training in the ateliers of Boston artists and then traveling to Paris in the early 1880s to study painting. While abroad, Hale published accounts of her studies and the Parisian art world, encouraging female artists in Boston and inspiring them to travel.
Throughout her career, Hale took multiple trips throughout the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, recording crumbling ruins, scenic land and cityscapes, and local people at work, embracing the spontaneity and intimate scale of printmaking to capture her impressions of the many local cultures she experienced. This collection is an inspiring travelogue to any journeyer who might be resting their boots in the District over the holidays. www.NMWA.org.
In sharp contrast to Hale, contemporary artist Mia Feuer's current installation at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, "An Unkindness," is a haunting vision of our world consumed, transformed and twisted by human need. Inspired by the artist's experiences in the oil-producing landscapes of the Canadian tar sands, the Arctic Circle, and the Suez Canal, the project explores the relationships between human infrastructure and the natural world. Feuer merges imagery from the oil sands with research into ecological systems worldwide, creating a series of immersive and interactive installations that are at once topical and deeply personal. The exhibit highlight includes a synthetic black skating rink open to the public in the museum's Rotunda, which contrasts our own gleeful pleasure against the ominous natural symbolism, which is especially thought-provoking around the holidays. For skating rink hours and more information, visit www.Corcoran.org/Exhibitions.

May / 1998End date:
KIA broke into the Australian small-car market with the attractive and keenly priced Mentor hatchback in late 1996.

I got two EcoTech Radion lights for Christmas from my wife to go on my 120 gal display. I had planned on another Aquastyle build for this tank, but her offer to get two of these for Christmas quickly changed those plans.
I like an open top, so I proceeded to figure out how to mount them and keep the open look. I settled on 1" aluminum tubing that is anodized black along with the matching nylon connectors.
I got a special metal cutting blade for my miter saw and cut all the pieces to fit.
I mounted the Radions directly to the tubing with 5M bolts and the entire fixture is rock solid with eight bolts running through the tubing and directly into the mounting ports on the lights (I also do not like the look of any hanging cables).
I just got the fixture up yesterday and still tweaking the programming. There is a natural mode and an artifical mode that you program via USB connector. The natural mode simulates the day cycle with a gradual ramping up of the lights from 6 am untl dark. You can change the cycle in any manner your choose. The artificial mode is completely programmable to any spectrum you want for any length of time. The Radions work in concert with each other via the wireless interface, so you only program one and it passes the programming to all the others. I also have them linked to my MP40's so you can actually start feed mode from the switches on top the Radion. The possibilities are endless and Ecotech has committed to continual upgrade to the programming interface.
I will post a complete review of the Radions after I have a couple of months of experience, but so far they look to be a great replacement for my TEK 8 bulb fixture which was eating $160 worth of bulbs every 6-8 months. All three of my tanks are now lit solely with LEDs. No more bulbs
