(Masterpieces of Fiction, Detective and Mystery Edition)
During the sixteen years in which William Campbell Gault produced more than three hundred short stories for the pulps, he developed a distinctive voice. Gault took to heart the advice of William Saroyan: "If you can't write well, write fast." Over a period of time, Gault learned to do both. At first, he wrote mainly for the sports pulps. To keep the stories coming and the plots fresh and varied, Gault ventured into other genres—mystery and science fiction—and then began combining genres. Later, he began to address themes of personal concern to him, particularly issues of ethnic and racial prejudice. One of Gault's first recurring characters, for example, was Sandy McKane, a private detective of Hawaiian descent. Other stories dealt with juvenile delinquency, with young, streetwise protagonists with questionable morals who in the end redeem themselves.
As Gault gained confidence as a novelist, he decided to create a series character who would be a vehicle for these concerns. Brock "the Rock" Callahan emerged as one of the most distinctive and fully realized characters in detective fiction. He is a character with a strong moral code, one forged out of his well-documented past. He was born in Southern California and reared in Long Beach; his police officer father was killed by a hoodlum when Callahan was a boy. Callahan attended Stanford University on a football scholarship and was graduated near the top of his class. After college, he joined the army and was involved with the Office of Strategic Services for three years. Subsequently, he signed with the Los Angeles Rams and played guard for nearly a decade, earning awards and accolades for his outstanding achievements. When he retired from football, he chose to open a detective agency in Beverly Hills, believing that his reputation as a star athlete would attract clients and win him friends on the police force.
Callahan is very much aware of the question of his credibility, his ability to perform adequately as a private detective with no real formal investigative training:Well, what had I brought to this trade? Three years in the O.S.S. and my memories of a cop father. Along with a nodding acquaintanceship with maybe fifty lads in the [Los Angeles Police] Department. That didn't make me any Philip Marlowe. Work alone wouldn't do it, nor determination; I was a fraud in my chosen profession. So many are, but that didn't make me any more admirable.
What keeps Callahan dedicated to his new profession is his past. He grew up fatherless because of a hoodlum killer. He knows at first hand how crime can devastate the lives of the innocent. He also knows, through years of playing professional football, the importance of being treated equally and fairly, of being judged by one's actions and performance and not by one's social or ethnic background. Callahan feels compelled to apply the sports credo of fair play to his new profession. He wants to protect the lambs from the lions, to make sure that the innocents have a chance to survive despite the manipulators and murderers who pervert society's rules to their own advantage.
Callahan carries the aura of the sports world wherever he goes. It defines him more than any other characteristic. He is linked to his sports past and is proud of it, although he never indulges in sentimental memories. The sports references are used to clarify a point or give a fuller dimension to a character or a situation. Many of Callahan's clients are sports heroes, former teammates, or friends of sports figures, yet rarely is the sport itself used as the central focus of the story, and macho posturing is avoided. Callahan is well aware of the reputation most sports figures have of being brainless hulks. It is almost an obsession with him to shatter the stereotype of the stupid jock; this concern fuels his desire to establish a reputation as a competent and intelligent detective.
Gault, through Callahan, challenges stereotypes, prejudices, and hastily formed judgments. Callahan has a gruff, aggressive manner that usually antagonizes the person he is confronting, whether it be an officer, a client, or a criminal. The tension created through these...

The Sixers/Nets Summer League team plays its second game today at 5 p.m., this one against the Utah Jazz. Since these games are tough to really evalute, the only really interesting story line is that Utah's first-round pick is point guard Eric Maynor from VCU. Obviously, Maynor's name was circulating pre-draft as a guy the Sixers might be interested in. The Sixers chose Jrue Holiday. I would think Holiday and Maynor would be matched up for much of tonight's game.
If you have some free time and want to watch an on-line stream of the game, click here: Summer League.
It's still early summer, but another thing to keep an eye on is Marreese Speights. It certainly seems like the minutes of Sixers starting center Samuel Dalembert, which were dwindling even last year, might continue that downward trend. With big-man Jason Smith still not fully recovered from a knee injury, Speights would seem to be the guy to whom a lot of those minutes would fall. In yesterday's game, he spent a lot of time shooting jumpers on the perimeter. I think today the Sixers/Nets will look to get him more touches on the block.
So that's the snapshot of tonight's Summer League game.
And as for the free agent market, which is really the hot ticket, here's a few quick hits:
1.) Mike Bibby has -- as was reported by the Atlanta Journal Constitution -- agreed to a deal returning him to the Hawks. Although it had already seemed unlikely the Sixers would be able to snag Bibby, now that door is officially closed.
2.) Andre Miller and the Sixers seem to be far apart in their demands, with Miller's camp wanting money in the 3-year/$30 million range. The potential sign-and-trade with the Portland Trailblazers, according to one source, is not being discussed. So, for right now, there isn't much developing on this front.
3.) What "role players" will the Sixers sign to fill in the holes left by guys like Kareem Rush, Royal Ivey, Theo Ratliff, etc? Tom Moore out at Phillyburbs has said the Sixers have contacted former Sixer Rodney Carney, who was part of that cap-clearing space during the 2007-08 season, but Carney wants more than the minimum the Sixers would be offering. Ivey, who opted out of his contract, would be open to returning to the Sixers, but has yet to hear from them. Obviously, Rush and Ratliff are goners.
4.) If Miller does not return -- and that is looking less and less likely -- than the Sixers have Lou Williams and Jrue Holiday as their point guards. The Sixers are willing to give Williams a chance to run the show, but would first try to find another point guard for help on the free-agent market. One guy to look at is Juan Dixon, who played for Eddie Jordan with the Washington Wizards. He would be a vet minimum guy, although he's not a traditional PG. Another guy that might be a possibility is Bobcats PG Raymond Felton, who is a restricted free agent.

Screw Top or Cork
Posted on February 13 2017
We regular wine drinkers will be used to seeing a few different ways of sealing the bottle.
Cork is the traditional method and is often seen as the best. Most producers of premium wines favour it, as they want to allow for a little gentle ageing in the bottle. Cork allows a tiny amount of oxygen to pass into the bottle, which allows a slow oxidation of the wine, helping it to mature in the bottle. Many wines, such as quality Bordeaux and the best German Rieslings can mature in the bottle for years, as long as they are kept lying down in a cool, dark place, with the correct temperature and humidity level.
However, there have been issues with cork, one of them being that sometimes they made the wine go off (people would say that the wine is corked)! This is partly due to cork failure, whereby oxygen enters the bottle more quickly than desired and oxidises the wine, or the cork itself could contain a substance called Trichloaranisole (TCA) which makes the wine smell of musty, damp cardboard.
Fortunately, cork producers have made great efforts to rid corks for wine of TCA, and better wine storage means that it is much less likely that you will get a 'corked' wine now.
Synthetic (plastic) corks are also frequently seen, but only for wines which are to be consumed young, they are not good for wines which are going to be kept for a long time, as they deteriorate over time, allowing oxygen to enter the wine too quickly, thus spoiling it.
Finally, the other great wine bottle closure is the screwcap. This is favoured by many wine producers, as they can seal the bottle against oxygen, and help preserve the fruity nature of the wine, so great for wines meant to be consumed within a few years of production. They are generally thought to be unsuitable for bottle ageing, although there are some screwcaps which are designed to allow a small controlled amount of oxygen to pass through them.
Whether cork, synthetic or screwcap, each has its merit. The most important thing is that they are used appropriately for the wine inside the bottle.
So get uncorking or unscrewing and enjoy your wine!Cheers

Skip to comments.State Dept spox says shes paid to be dumb when talking about Benghazi attack
Posted on 10/13/2012 7:58:59 AM PDT by Lorianne
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland ended a series of questions about the Obama Administrations changing narrative about the terrorist attack in Benghazi by saying that shes paid to be dumber than other government officials.
Look, Im generally dumber than most of the rest of the government, Nuland told reporters yesterday. I mean, thats what Im paid to be.
The comment drew a laugh, but Nuland was serious about not taking any more questions on the topic. Were not going to parse this any further, she said sternly. Were just not. (You can watch video of Nulands briefing above. To see these remarks, made towards the end of that dialogue, start at the 21:45 mark.)
That was her ultimate response to questions about whether the Obama Administration knew immediately that the attack was more than a spontaneous attack. The comment about being paid to be dumb came after she stood by Ambassador Susan Rices claim that it was spontaneous.
Look, Im not going to parse this 17 ways from this podium, Nuland said. What I am going to say is, obviously when one goes out and tries to represent what the totality of what we know, the intelligence community plays a large role in that. And they had given an assessment to the entire government, which was the basis on which Ambassador Rice spoke on Sunday, they themselves have talked very explicitly about how their assessment has evolved over time.
These comments came after a reporter reminded her that a State Department official had contradicted the idea that the State Department thought a protest had sparked the attack.

Dumb can mean can't or won't speak. Dumb doesn't necessarily mean stupid.
What in the blazes is a spox?
It sounds like a disease.
I wonder how well "dumb" pays in DC these days. I'd guess somewhere close to, if not, six figures.
She's paid with your tax dollar to lie to you.
a pox on the spox
Translation : "I'm up here to spout what I'm told, in a hopefully convincing manner, and not to explore the logical inconsistencies of what I'm saying". As such, she's not much different from an MSNBC anchor.
I'll swap FS/GS grades with her. I'm sure she's an FS-01/GS-15 or better. I could do her job but no way could she do mine.
She's paid to stonewall against the citizenry by the government and she's honest enough to admit it.
I think it's pronounced "Spokes" like the joke's on you folks.
Victoria Nuland is the Maggie Williams of State!
Who is dumb, dumber, and dumbest in Øbozo's regime is an open question (and the opportunity for great sport!).
This whole fubar and the pathetic attempt to cover it up is a fine example of ZERO leadership. They all knew what they were doing in Libya was risky. They did it anyway. They knew what went down on 9/11/12, and they came up with a kindergartener's cover story. But what seems to have been happening is that the US was running a spy operation under the cover of the US State Department. When the cover was obviously blown, Hillary said, "This is not my baby!" The White House said, "We don't have a clue!" And Intel came up with a cockamamie lie that blew up in everyone's face. So why was the State Department running cover for the CIA? I thought there was some stink in the past about such and that we try not to mix spy operations with diplomatic operations. Haha is it customary for State employees to keep their location secret? I suppose it is possible for Sean Smith to have been working for State and just not telling his mother that he was being sent to an unprotected hellhole that was housing spies searching for missing weapons. But it sounds more like he was working for another agency. I am speculating big time.
A bigger question for me is who leaked or who exposed the operation to Al Qaeda. They were obviously aware of what was really going on. The Brits seem to have realized that it was a bad place to be. So why did we stay???

Abstract paintings must be as real as those created by the 16th–century Italians.
In the summer of 1967 abstract painter Frank Stella taught a workshop at the University of Saskatchewan. His time there inspired a series of paintings named for places in the Canadian province, including Lac La Ronge, a scenic lake. Stella had already been working on a series of paintings on shaped (non–rectangular) canvases with designs based on patterns made with protractors. The Saskatchewan series continued to explore some of the same patterns—specifically the circle and a four-petaled motif—but within a rectangle or square.
With the Saskatchewan series, Stella continued his exploration of the figure–ground relationship (the relationship of the surface to the images depicted on it). As art historian Robert Rosenblum observed of these paintings, "these restless arcs strain their boundaries, exchanging positions in depth, brusquely switching roles of visual priority, pressing inward and outward, forward and backward for completion of their fragmentary shapes and abruptly interrupted energies."

Kupujmo svoje! [Let us buy ours!]
Concerned with issues of survival economy in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the war, this project presents examples of the current economic chain of products, vendors, markets. It t is visualizing consequences of the past war as well as the country's current socio-political conditions. The end of the communist era opened up a new unexplored market for the Western World's products. I am questioning the neo-colonial role of the International Community within the process of the formation of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement. The monetary donations from the Western World and Islamic countries for the rebuilding and reconstruction of the country seem to be more breaking Bosnia's own production than to stimulate it. Moreover, this capital can be seen as a mechanism of political and economical control, which is mainly used to provide infrastructure for importing more products. Finally, the project involves design of shopping bags supporting the champagne Let us buy ours! Let us buy Bosnian products! that was started by several Bosnian firms in order to help country's own economical potential. The installation shows a Chinese and a Burberry checkered shopping bag and a video projected on monitors put in the bags, showing a wide offer of black market original and "pirated" music in Sarajevo.

I don't live in an area that has any Chanel boutiques or any stores that sell Chanel, (yes, i no, poor me. It's torturing me.) so I must've searched the Internet a thousand times for one. There's lots of fakes on eBay. Does anyone know anywhere I can get one from?? (I no, Coco Chanel does not sell online.) Please, I heart Chanel, and its torturing me.

We had the pleasure to display Karens' arrangements for our 'Grand Opening Party' at Time & Flow champagne bar/shop/academy in Singapore. Her floral arrangements matched the identity of our space perfectly and she prepared the flowers according to the dimensions available in our store, so we were really appreciative.
Our clients were delighted to see the fresh and colourful arrangements and we look forward to working together again
Karen is wonderful to work with and has endless knowledge about flowers. I have learnt so much from watching her. I never knew how amazing floral artistry could be until I met Karen.
In hiring her to design for you or learning from her you will be delighted with what you will come away with
Karen's passion for flowers is as contagious as it is authentic to her very being. She delights in nature's beauty and interweaves it into her life and into the lives of the people around her by way of her stunning arrangements.
Just as flowers are so generous in the way that they inspire our lives and add to our wellbeing, Karen generously desires to share easy ways for us to embrace flowers and have them around our home and places of work – whether it be for our own pleasure or whether it be for us to in turn, share with those in our lives. I love her work!
Through Knowing Karen, I've been opened up to a whole new world of floral design I never knew existed. Great to watch what she is doing for brands in this space.
Although we'd love to, for purposes of privacy and discretion we cannot display names of some of our clients here, but we're very fortunate to have been able to work with the Visual Merchandising teams and Directors of Singaporean and French Fashion Brands, been involved in many international world class events/projects, prepared flowers for private banks and had the opportunity to decorate the apartments of high net worth individuals.

Fulga-Caburgan Family
"We need a home with more room and a place for the children to play where we can plant seeds for flowers and tomatoes etc."
~ from Georgeta Fulga's application letter
Georgeta and her son moved from Moldova to America and specifically to Asheville on November 10, 2010. During one of her trips back to Moldova she met her husband Ghenadie who, along with his two boys, later joined Georgeta and her son in Asheville. While they were happy to have their blended family together in one place, as a family of five living in a two-bedroom apartment it didn't take long to realize they need a bigger place. On the advice of fellow Moldovans who happen to be Habitat homeowners they were encouraged to apply to purchase an affordable house through Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity. The boys are thrilled to be living in this country and, as one may suspect, they have had little trouble acclimating to their new country, but as growing boys they look forward to having their own rooms and space to play outside. As a full-time employee of Mills Manufacturing, Georgeta provides for the family while Ghenadie attends classes to learn the English language. For $40 more dollars a month than they currently pay in rent they will soon purchase a 4 bedroom/2 bathroom, energy efficient Habitat house in the McKinley neighborhood. In this home, Georgeta can finally have the garden she has been dreaming of and the family can say they are home! The Fulga-Caburgan family house will be dually sponsored by the Land of the Sky Association of Realtors in honor of their 100th anniversary and the Rusty Pulliam Foundation.
About the Sponsor
The Land of the Sky Association of REALTORS® is celebrating their Centennial of serving this region and co-sponsoring this house is part of their year-long celebration. Many REALTORS® from different local real estate companies are spending days volunteering on the house, in addition to the financial support provided by the Association. With 1300+ members, the organization is one of the largest REALTOR® associations in North Carolina. LOTSAR's mission is to enhance its members' ability to exceed, to foster high ethical standards, and to promote private property rights.
Along with the Association of REALTORS®, Rusty Pulliam, a local REALTOR® and real estate developer, is co-sponsoring the house through his Foundation. This is Mr. Pulliam's second house sponsorship with Asheville Area Habitat and we are thankful for this partnership.
Also, to offset the cost of purchasing and developing a lot, Habitat has sought out sponsors to "Adopt-a-Lot" for $10,000. This lot is generously sponsored by Asheville Fence.

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) was a novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He was born in what is now the Ukraine, and lived in Poland and France, before eventually settling in England. Conrad's first language was Polish, and he became fluent in French during his childhood. However, all his important literary works were written in English, a language he learnt as an adult.
Amongst his best known novels are Heart of Darkness (1899), Lord Jim (1900), Nostromo (1904), and The Secret Agent (1907).
Heart of Darkness on Book Drum; The Secret Agent on Book Drum.
George Meredith (1828-1909) was an English novelist and poet. His best-remembered novels include The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859), The Egoist (1879), and Diana of the Crossways (1885). Ralph Vaughan Williams' musical composition The Lark Ascending was inspired by Meredith's poem of the same name.

Hygiene for Healthcare Professionals
Anyone who works in health care can tell you that cleanliness definitely matters. You are exposed to germs all day, every day as a part of your profession and half of my day is spent with my hands being scrubbed or sanitized. It is part of the job description. When you walk into a patient's room, your hands must be cleaned before you touch them and as you are preparing to leave. It is the only true way to protect everyone from diseases. However, at the end of the day, I still feel like I should be doing more to protect myself and my patients. That is why I first began looking at ariel steam shower reviews.
Why Cleanliness Matters
People who do not work in the health care system, do not realize how much we come into contact with each day. We are exposed to everything from a common cold to major infections that can be transferred to other patients. Bacteria is our enemy and fighting it is our primary concern. That is why you will never see anyone in my hospital not wearing gloves when they touch a patient and hands will still be scrubbed after taking off their gloves.
The reason it is important is simple. A person who has an infectious disease may be in a sterile environment and away from other patients. However, as a nurse, we have to walk into that room and help them, the same as we help all others. When we leave that room and visit the next patient, we could carry the disease to the next room. That puts that patient at risk of developing further problems that they may have not had before. When your goal in life is helping others become healthy, that is not something you want to do.
What I Have Discovered
Sometimes, a nurse or a doctor can still spread germs around without meaning to. A very sick patient may cough or sneeze on us and that is one of the easiest ways to spread colds and flus. Every so often a doctor or a nurse will develop a cold after having dealt with someone who had similar symptoms through no fault of their own. It has even happened to me and I know that I am a very clean nurse.
So, I began to wonder if perhaps it wasn't my hands that were transferring illness, but my entire body and if that was the case, maybe a good shower would help. I did the research and before long discovered what I was sure would be the best shower head for me.
After working through the worst cold and flu season ever, I am happy to say that something definitely worked and it wasn't me changing the way I clean myself while at work. I did not get even a small cold this past winter and I cannot help but think that it was all because I began taking a very long, relaxing, hot steamy shower with my new handheld shower head. I'll never go back to the old, standard style shower heads again.

Akali Build
Middle Lane
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi! I am a decent Akali player if I say so my self. I just love her and she is one of my favourite champions. This is my first guide so don´t expect much from it and I am from Sweden so my english isn´t the best. Plus that I am 14 years old but I hope that you don´t think just because im a kid this guide isn´t good.
Akali´s Abilities
Rwin Disciplines:Your passive. This passiv have two effects depending on how much AP and AD you have. The first one scales with AP and the more you have the more each hit deals (bonus magic dmg and it starts at 20 AP). The second one scales with AD and gives you more Spell Wamp (starts at 10 AD). With these Runes and Masteries you should have both ready at lvl 1.
Mark of the Assassin:This is your main dmg and is what you are going to max first. It has a burst dmg at low lvls if you get a hit on your opponent when they have the mark on them. It is one of the the spells that has the most dmg at lvl 1. The spell has shorther cooldown then the marks so that makes up for som amazing combos.
Twilight Shroud:This is your stealth ability and your only cc (exept if you have Rylai´s Crystal Scepter). When you are in it you are invisible until you either go away form it or do an auto attack or spell. It´s great for escaping or if you are going to face check a bush. In a team fight you generally want to go in, use and burst down their ADC, then get stealth again and burst down others.
Cresent Slash:This is your only AoE ability whick is great for farming and has loonger range then your auto attacks. I would avoid to use in team fights sence it drains so much energy.
Shadow Dance:Your ultimate, this lets you dash to an opponent and dmg them a little. You can have max there atack of it and it regenerate pretty slowly at lvl 6 but pretty fast at 16. She gets a stack for every kill or assists so don´t hessitate if your for exemple going to turret dive and you only have one stack and if you know you can kill him.
Ability Sequence
So you want to use your Q and let the cooldown run out then jump on your enemy and autoattack once then use your W and then your Q again and another autoattack or an E. And if they don´t die just Jump on them again and to the combo again.
In the begging you want to farma as much as possible and use your Q if you see that there is a creep that is to far away from you and use your E as well sence it´s best used in taking creeps ( in my oppinion)
Pros / Cons
+ alot of burst dmg at low lvls
+ can be invisble
+ has a jump ability
+ has a AoE ability
- don´t have much CC
- CC rapes her
- True sight rapes her as well.
Akali is not much before lvl 6 sure she has her Q but she doesn´t have much mobility to get her Q´s full potential dmg. But she can pretty much lane un interupted just becasue she got her E and that´s a great waay to get away for ganks (if it´s not someone like lee sin or someone that can use his abliltys to see you). When she hits lvl 6 you should go back get some items and then when you are back you will probably have full stacks of your ulti. With that you can burst down most mid laners exept for them with blink abilitys or if they are just tank( then you should poke them down with your Q ability). When you have gotten some kills you should probably ganks other lanes if they have a rough time.
Team Fights
In Team Fights you want to jump on their ADC or someone fed, burst them down and use your E to be invisible and to wait for your cooldowns, then just burst someone toher down or finish the one you where aiming at. Remember to be invisble when you don´t have your abilities up becasue CC really breaks her.
I hope this was a good guide as I said it is my first and it will have some grammar misstakes but i hope you liked it and leave some responces on what i can inprove.
Good Bye! ^^

Starting a business is very difficult without sufficient funds. Funds are needed not only during the initial stages but for having a sustained growth in business. During the initial stages,
businesses may not generate enough revenues and so, start-up entrepreneurs may find it difficult for running their business. In this context, they can opt for start up business loans. Though there can be several sources from which such start up business financing can be done, entrepreneurs must make their
choice carefully. They must have a suitable business plan so they can choose the right source that caters to their needs suitably.

Credit check holds utmost importance in the process of getting financial assistance in terms of loans or credits. When a person applies for the loan, the lending companies conduct the check to verify the creditworthiness of the person. For this, the credit score is determined specifically. With the help of credit score, the lender calculates the risk available with the borrower. Thus, this score helps the lender in taking the decision regarding the approval or cancellation of the loan.
Along with the above importance, the credit score helps the lenders to specify the interest rate that they are going to charge on the amount borrowed. If your
credit score is low, then you will figure out as the highest risky person. Thus, the rate of interest charged from you will also be higher and vice versa. Thus, to get the needed amount without
any hassle, you must work out on your credit score.

Parasitic Antenna Loading Measurements and Comparison between Shielded and Unshielded Antenna Excitation During Alfven-Wave Heating in Tca
The paper presents experimental measurements of the parasitic loading resulting from a radiofrequency (RF) Langmuir or sheath current which flows from an unshielded antenna to the scrape-off layer (SOL) during Alfven wave heating (AWH) in TCA. The measurements are of relevance to ion cyclotron resonance heating where RF currents drawn by either electrostatic screens or side limiters lead to parasitic loading and harmonic generation in the SOL. An experimental study of the plasma response to AWH after the installation of screens on the AWH antennas is also presented. The results demonstrate that the RF sheath current and some of the parasitic phenomena observed in the SOL during AWH with unshielded antennas are eliminated by screens. The plasma bulk response, however, is dominated by a large density rise which is unaffected by screens.

Market beat has a post on GM, it is officially a small cap now. Those that are down grading it are so late in doing so.
Egad, crude below $60...
It is sad that we may soon see the day that a gallon of gas is worth more than a share of either Ford or GM.
A friend of mine while driving into town (London, Ontario) said he heard "the stupidest Ford ad" ever.
Essentially, they're giving 50 shares of Ford stock to everyone who buys a brand new Ford. LOL! Currently, that amounts to $90! How is that any incentive. My friend is correct calling the ad stupid, because if you were a Ford dealer, what in God's name would possess you to call attention to Ford's stock price?!?
"Hey, come buy a Ford. We're practically bankrupt!"
Marc Faber said on Bloomberg today, the government should pay Honda and Toyota $20 billion to take over these poorly managed Ford and GM. That made sense to me.
Oh well, that issue is not new anymore. And they were known also on creating defective fog lights for their Saab. Fortunately Saab was already sold to another car maker.

While walking around Wuhan University we saw two men flying kites. The machines they used for reels were impressive – and the kites were up really high in the air.
I imagined them to be retired engineering professors trying out new inventions.
This reel made a nice whirring sound when letting out line – reminded me of fly fishing reels.
By the amount of line I had trouble imagining how high it could go.
Because it was already up really high
With the telephoto I could just make out that there are characters on kite, but I don't know what they say…
This man's reel made a clicking sound as line played out – also pleasing – more like a ratchety sound. I liked the man's special kite flying gloves.
Maybe he is the Chinese Commissioner Gordon calling Batman. Maybe he just likes bats. Batman would not have a lot to do here – people were very pleasant and helpful.
Sorry I missed yesterday — I will post two today. Keep those comments and emails coming!

for the Pilgrims Travelling through Haj Committee of India
In the past 2 years more than 2000 buildings have been demolished in Makkah by the local authorities for various projects including expansion of Haram Shareef, particularly in areas where Indian pilgrims used to be traditionally accommodated. Most of the Indian pilgrims like to stay near Haram Shareef and would like to attend all the 5 prayers in the Haram Shareef. However this has become difficult as availability of accommodation around Haram Shareef has become scarce.
As per Saudi regulations each pilgrim is entitled for space of 4 sq.mts. Pilgrims have to share their accommodation with others. Buildings are provided with licenses by Saudi authorities to accommodate pilgrims.
Each license also mentions the number of pilgrims to be accommodated in a particular building. Indian Haj Mission does not accommodate pilgrims more than the prescribed numbers. As per the norms of Haj Committee of India not more than 12 pilgrims have to share a single wash room (bathroom) and not more than 30 pilgrims have to share a single kitchen.
Pilgrims have to be mentally prepared to share their living space with other pilgrims.Makkah is a mountainous terrain and many areas in Makkah are located in inclined places. Pilgrims should be prepared to walk in inclined areas.

Elgar Encyclopedia of Comparative Law, Second Edition
Edited by Jan M. Smits
Chapter 13: Commercial regulation*
Luke Nottage
Until the early 1980s, comparative lawyers were mostly interested in the doctrinal implications of distinguishing rules and institutions dedicated to 'commercial law' from other aspects of civil or private law. Especially as states intervened more in economies, some tried to incorporate these developments into broader notions of 'economic law' or 'business law'. Over the 1980s and particularly since the 1990s, however, more analysts have realized that 'hard law' promulgated and enforced by national authorities is only one way of regulating commercial behavior and expectations. Private and semi-private norms and dispute resolution processes within states, and growing regional and transnational dimensions even to hard law, underpin the emergence of 'commercial regulation' as a broader research agenda. An older strand of regulation theory had been built around the idea that regulators pursue the public interest. A newer strand acknowledged that they can pursue, instead or in addition, their private interests. Particularly under the latter approach, the main focus was on how regulation might be most efficiently generated and applied to achieve predefined goals.

Fostering Entrepreneurship & Healthy Food Options in San Jose
AnewAmerica Community Corporation applauds the recent approval by the San Jose City Council of changes to the zoning ordinance that will promote local entrepreneurship and healthy food options. This represents a major win for local health and economic development advocates as well as for Fresh Cart mobile produce vendors and their ability to vend in neighborhoods.
Policy Updates
The approved changes support entrepreneurship, an increase in the availability of fresh and healthy foods in "food deserts" and "food swamps," and economic and public health benefits for the entire community. The recently adopted changes to San Jose Zoning Ordinance Title 20 do the following:
- Increase the number of hours a mobile cart vendor selling whole, uncut fruits and vegetables can vend on private property, with the permission of the landlord and without an administrative permit, from 2 to 8 hours.
- Decrease the buffer between a Fresh Cart vendor and a lot or property used for residential purposes from 100 feet to 50 feet.
- Allowance of Fresh Cart vendors on government property in addition to schools.
Additionally, we asked the Council to continue to explore ways to decrease the prohibitive cost of the administrative permit, which currently stands at $850.
These changes remove unnecessary barriers and bring both creative entrepreneurship and healthy options to San Jose neighborhoods. Independently operated mobile vendors such as Fresh Carts vendors operating within San Jose's communities increase access to essential, nutritious foods for all residents. These new policies will indeed transform the health of local communities while encouraging small businesses, often operated by immigrants, to thrive and succeed. We thank our partners, including the Health Trust, Sacred Heart Community Services, and Fresh Cart vendors, as well as the San Jose City Council and Mayor Liccardo for their leadership in promoting the overall well-being of our communities in San Jose.
Tax program provides $157,158 in refunds to the community!
AnewAmerica prepared tax returns for the first time: Pictured above, volunteers with staff member extraordinaire Lily Vargas and Doug Jalen, Director of Finance, who spearheaded the effort.
With over 150 returns prepared, our 2015 VITA program was a great success! The average income of our tax clients was $17,620.97. Our tax clients received a combined total refund amount of $157,158.00.
Many thanks go to volunteers: Hannah Davidoff, Maritza Duenas, Dena Greenblum, Alec Lepe, Debbie Mayer, and Sonali Wani for helping us serve clients at our Berkeley, Oakland and San Jose locations!
This program was funded in part by United Way Bay Area and by the Economic Security grantmaking strategy of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. We thank our partners and volunteers for their invaluable support.

The 49ers enter the game with a 12-0-1 record in their home opener since 2000. The 49ers have not lost a home opener since a 3-2 loss to South Carolina, September 7, 1999. Last season, the 49ers defeated Denver, 2-1, in double overtime at Transamerica Field in their home opener, August 25, 2012.
Charlotte leads the all-time series against UNCG 8-7-2. In their last meeting, the 49ers tied UNCG on the road, 1-1, in double overtime, September 15, 2012. Giuseppe Gentile scored the 49ers goal in that game. Charlotte defeated UNCG, 1-0, in their last meeting at Transamerica Field, September 11, 2011.
Gentile currently leads the 49ers in goals with two after scoring both of Charlotte's goals in their season-opening win over Denver last Friday. Gentile has now scored 21 career goals.
The 49ers defense behind the play of defenders Thomas Allen, Biko Bradnock-Brennan, Luke Waechter and Anthony Perez and goalkeeper Klay Davis recorded their first shutout of the season on the road at Denver. Davis has now recorded 21 career shutouts.
Admission to the game is $5 for adults and $2 for youth (17-and-under). While Charlotte 49ers students are admitted free with a valid student ID.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the 2015 reunion of the Americal Division Veterans Association (ADVA), held in Norfolk, VA. There was a great crowd for the event, somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 people. This was primarily comprised of Vietnam veterans of the Americal and their spouses. But we were lucky to have 6 veterans of World War II on hand. One of the men, Ken Vander Molen (second from right in the above photo), is 182nd veteran from Company G – and a good friend. Ken made the trip down from Michigan with his two daughters. I also had the chance to meet another 182nd veteran, whose full name I believe was Devel McGriff (far left in the photo above). He served in Company G, and took part in the action on Cebu. He told me that he had not known about our trip earlier this year to Cebu, or he would have come along. What a shame, it would have been amazing to have him along with us. At dinner, I shared a table with Ken Vander Molen and a veteran of the 164th Infantry, Fritz Klein (far right in the photo), who attended with his wife and daughter. 70 years after the end of World War II, this was his very first reunion.
The ADVA treated the World War II veterans like royalty. Their rooms at the hotel were provided free of charge. And they were singled out and recognized at the Saturday evening banquet. Each was presented with a gift bag including an ADVA pocket knife and DVD. And most impressively, their great sacrifice and service was thanked with a booming, rousing, standing ovation from their veteran brothers from Vietnam. It was a real thrill to see these men treated like the heroes they are – particularly from a room full of fellow veterans.
(Incidentally, if Mr. McGriff or his family should read this story – please contact me if you feel like it, I would love to hear more about his war experiences.)

Reeb bikes are now available at Black Pug Bike Repair! There's no better description of Reeb than straight off of their website. "Reeb was founded in 2011 by some folks at Oskar Blues Brewery who eat, breathe, sweat, and bleed bikes. When the boss man's bike was stolen, the do-it-yourself mentality that pervades OB took over and a bike company was born. We knew that we could make the bikes we dream about and get people excited about them in the process." Plus, Oskar Blues/Reeb are huge when it comes to giving back to the community. See candaid.giv.sh. And, they were a generous sponsor for our local MVMBA Fast Lap series last year. So, crack open a Dales Pale Ale and check out reebcycles.com. Then, contact Chris at Black Pug to order your Reeb!

Think ladybugs are harmless? Think again. The Asian lady beetle, which looks similar to the regular ladybug, is a nonnative species that has been infesting the U.S.
"Just yesterday, my business partner was complaining there were several in his car," said Cooper Anderson, who owns a winery in Austin, Texas.
First brought in to northern Louisiana as a means to control the aphid populations in the 1960s, the Japanese bugs have now spread to nearly every continental state.
"They're highly beneficial, but they have one drawback," professor Roy Parker, of Texas A&M, told KBTX. "They tend to want to gather in large numbers during the winter."
While regular ladybugs are completely harmless, Asian lady beetles bite and feed on humans, according to AWM.
Asian lady beetles "are attracted to illuminated surfaces," like sunlit walls, and "are such a nuisance" in many parts of the U.S. come fall "that they affect quality of life," the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture wrote online.
University of Texas entomologist Dr. Alex Wild told WOAI that Asian lady beetles seek shelter from the cold in homes. "They have a habit of tasting things they land on," he said.
Wild explains, "The main danger is one you don't really see. They're out there in large numbers, they're not from here, they're eating a lot of our native insects in ways that would have unpredictable effects in terms of pest control."
Parker advises vacuuming often and dumping the waste immediately after. "They will move into structures and buildings and such, and they're just a nuisance," he said.
The beetles are also put off by any citrus scent and home improvement stores sell products specifically geared towards getting rid of the pests.
If you find an Asian lady beetle, do not squish it. They release a noxious stench and leave behind a yellow stain.

Matthew Chalfant (AMRAMODIFIED.COM)
(Fairplain, West Virginia) The beginning of the 2017 racing season will have much more significance than just the flip of the calendar for the I-77 Speedway located in Fairplain West Virginia, as the track ushers in a new era of racing at the long popular West Virginia facility. Operating under the leadership of area native and racer Todd Jones along with the tracks new supporting staff, I-77 Speedway is preparing to notch up the excitement as they embark on a full season of racing at the facility that will take place mainly on Saturday nights and feature all 3 AMRA national divisions on a weekly basis throughout the season.
It was announced in late October (2016) that the track which only held a handful of events in 2016 and was non-AMRA sanctioned would return to operate on a full-time basis in 2017 and change hands in management. Since the announcement, the newly announced track promoter Todd Jones and numerous members of the tracks staff, have spent the winter and early spring months making facility improvements and preparing the track to usher in a new era of racing which will kick off on Saturday March 25th. As previously noted, the track will host all 3 AMRA National divisions in 2017, with the AMRA Late Models, Modifieds and Sport Mods. In addition, the track will also host the Steel Block Late Model division and each program will kick off with the WRA Mini Wedges for the racing stars of tomorrow.
For many, I-77 is considered to be located in a hot bed of dirt racing talents. Just an hour drive between Parkersburg and Charleston West Virginia, I-77 Speedway has played host to numerous special events over the years and attracted some of the AMRA's most notable talents in recent years. With Late Model standouts such as Chris Garnes, Tyler Carpenter, Travis Brookover, Zach Milbee and more plus Modified talents such as Robert Garnes, James Dennis, Kyle Bond and more, plus the sure to be exciting AMRA Sport Mod class expected to be on hand throughout the season, fans are sure to see their share of racing excitement.
With most aspects of the tracks operations changing in 2017, including new start times, fan amenities and of course track management, the fan experience is sure to be different than years past. Promoter Todd Jones stresses that in 2017, the track is working to ensure that racing programs run quick and efficiently for an improved fan experience in addition to the track soon to be released electronic scoring system known as Race Monitor, which will allow fans to view lineups, live scoring and results online when released, as the track looks to better accommodate fans with internet access at the track. As promised, the track also strives to offer competitive payouts and a solid racing experience for all competitors on hand each week. In addition, the track also looks forward to welcoming a new track photographer in Zach Yost whose work is sure to be popular with both fans and teams!
Notable dates for I-77 Speedway include: Season Opening Spring Fling, March 25th. Jim Dunn Memorial Qualifier ($2,000 to win Late Models) April 29th. AMRA Sport Mod Rally ($800 to win) May 13th. Kenny Carr Memorial ($1,200 to win Modifieds) June 17th. Monday night 4th of July special ($2,000 to win Late Models) July 3rd. Hillbilly 100 Qualifier ($2,000 to win Late Models) August 5th.
Those looking for more information can stay connected with I-77 Speedway on I-77speedway.com or the track's various social media sites, along with AMRAMODIFIED.COM.

A quick-and-easy salad for when your diet needs a reset. Greens and vegetables in a 3-ingredient no-mix dressing. A simple, fresh, healthy side.
This may appear to be just another salad, but don't be fooled.
It requires just 5 minutes and 1 bowl to make, and the dressing doesn't require mixing! Oh yeah.
It's literally a lazy cook's dream: Dump a bunch of ingredients in a bowl and call it a meal. And it's healthy! Does it get any better than that?
A bed of greens is topped with veggies, sunflower seeds, ripe avocado for healthy fats, and dried cranberries for a little sweetness. Then drizzle on tahini, lemon, and olive oil and season with salt and pepper. It makes the salad taste so delicious + the no mixing means one less dish to clean up.
To add more protein to this salad, serve with cooked (and cooled) quinoa, baked chickpeas, or additional sunflower seeds.
- ~8 cups (~250 g) mixed greens or roughly chopped kale (I mixed both)
- 1/4 cup (29 g) diced red onion
- 3-4 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp (5 g) roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
- 1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- optional: 2-3 Tbsp dried cranberries (or other fruit)
- 1/4 cup (60 g) tahini
- 2 Tbsp (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lemons, juiced (~1/4 cup or 60 ml)
- Healthy pinch each sea salt + black pepper
- Add the greens to a large serving bowl and top with red onion, radishes, sunflower seeds, avocado, and dried cranberries (optional).
- Next drizzle on tahini and olive oil and squeeze on lemon juice (no need to mix beforehand! The separation makes for more enhanced individual flavors + 1 less dish). Season with salt and pepper, and toss gently before serving.
- Best when fresh, though leftovers keep (undressed) up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
