If former California State Assemblyman Carl Washington defrauded the $492 million First City Credit Union, President/CEO Terry O'Steen isn't aware of it.
O'Steen told Credit Union Times that First City suffered a $5,000 net loss in 2007 when it charged off a credit card balance that Washington didn't pay. However, to O'Steen's knowledge, Washington did not defraud First City as alleged in U.S. District Court and reported in local and industry media.
"Yes, he owed us money and didn't pay, but that's not fraud," O'Steen said.
The Los Angeles-based CEO said he hadn't been contacted by authorities regarding the case or provided any documentation, nor had he seen the grand jury's indictment that prompted Washington's Sept. 17 arrest.
O'Steen said he assumes Washington revealed he had done business with First City when he was interviewed by prosecutors.
The indictment alleges that Washington defrauded multiple financial institutions by running up credit card balances and later claiming he hadn't made the charges, but had instead been a victim of identity theft. Washington then allegedly filed false police reports and submitted them to Experian, asking the credit reporting agency to remove the affected credit histories from his credit report. Then, using a clean credit report, Washington repeated the scam by applying for new credit at other institutions.
Counts one and four against Washington allege that on Oct. 19, 2007, he submitted an application for a Visa credit card to First City Credit Union and purposely omitted creditor obligations.
O'Steen said he would review the court documents and further research Washington's account history to determine if any fraud had been committed. The CEO said Washington was eligible to join First City because he is a Los Angeles County employee, employed by the county's Probation Department; county employees are the credit union's legacy select employee group.
The indictment also alleges in counts three and six that Washington defrauded the $360 million LA Financial Federal Credit Union, located in Pasadena, Calif., by making false statements on a credit card application on August 4, 2009.
The court documents further state that Washington falsely claimed to Experian that credit reports from the $23 million Mid-Cities Financial Credit Union, located in Compton, Calif., were the result of identity theft. However, the indictment does not include any criminal charges connected with Mid-Cities.

The church to the south of the theatre.
It was of a three-ailed basilica type, with an entry hall or narthex, a pulpit with two staircases (ambo) and an apse with seating steps (synthronon). Much of the stone was taken from other buildings. The remaining parts on sees of the ambo and the chancel-screen are from the early Byzantine period.

Ive been in and out of AO for quite a while now, im started to learn bits and bobs, but to be honest, when it comes to it im a total novice. (What a great way to start a thread)
Im trying to learn things, but its hard, because i dont really know what im looking for, or how to apply my skills. As everyone are on different levels of knowledge etc, also having different skills to pass on.
I thought, well, for newbies like me, how about having some forum where we can go and introduce ourselves, explain what we know already and what we are doing in our lives (i.e computer student, network admin, programmer etc etc). And then state what our interests are and what we'd love to learn.
From that people would have a good idea what we're after (even if we don't really know ourselves) I know that all you guru's really know your stuff, you love to learn, but i think equally you love to teach and pass your wisdom on.
So i thought have some kind of forum etc where the guru's can drop in, if they like the sound of someone drop them a PM and offer to guide them partly through their learning, or even dedicated mentors that are responsible for helping along the learning of people like myself.
I havn't really thought this all out properly, but i wanted to make the suggestion.

Eagles Host Career Fair For Veterans
"PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The Philadelphia Eagles opened their doors on Thursday for a career fair, where veterans are helping other veterans. Many veterans struggle to enter the corporate world after military life. Sometimes, they don't know how to properly sell their skills and talents to employers."
The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Hundreds Attend Job Fair As Veterans Battle Unemployment At Home
"Veterans come together at Lincoln Financial Field hoping to chart the next step in their lives — post-military service. They had the chance to connect with 64 employers looking to hire. For Catie Hughes who served in the Navy, its not easy being unemployed after a long career in real estate, and having to go to a career fair for a job. "

"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "

Common Questions
What is a RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo?
A RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo is an event where transitioning military, veterans, and their spouses can meet with recruiters from dozens of companies. These events are free for attendees. To learn more, watch this video from one of our expos in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Who are the exhibitors?
RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expos are enhanced job fairs or career fairs with four kinds of exhibitors.
- Employers
- Franchisors
- Educational institutions
- Veterans associations and service agencies
What if my only interest is getting a job?
Even if you are not here to discuss continuing education, we recommend that you talk with the education recruiters.
- Today's institutions deliver learning opportunities in many ways other than traditional, full-time, daytime classes on a campus. So a few minutes of conversation may lead to an unexpected continuing-education solution that is right for you.
- In addition, most of the institutions at our Expos are also large employers and might have job openings at a campus near you.
- We have similar advice for job seekers who have not been thinking of going into business for themselves. Franchise opportunities are available in a tremendous variety of fields. Financing may be easier than you think, with surprising discounts for veterans.
Are the employers actually hiring?
Yes, and they have a number of different priorities and requirements. As a result, their recruiters interact with job seekers in a variety of ways.
- Some recruiters have "hot fills," job openings that they need to fill immediately. If you happen to qualify for a hot fill, the recruiter may take you to a separate area for a one-on-one interview.
- Other recruiters are looking for transitioning and veteran military to apply for jobs that are almost always open. That kind of recruiter might ask for a paper résumé and/or give you a business card and ask you to call.
- Some recruiters have positions that are not available right now, but will be opening up soon. These employers want to identify candidates and get them in the pipeline now so they can fill those positions as soon as possible when they receive hiring approval.
Why don't all employers accept paper résumés?
A federal regulation called the OFCCP Internet Applicant Rule tells certain government contractors how to gather and retain job applications via the Internet. Because of the Rule, many contractors require that applicants use their online systems and not submit paper résumés.
- OFCCP is the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, an agency of the United States Department of Labor's Employment Standards Administration. The OFCCP enforces laws prohibiting employment discrimination by federal contractors.
- Some employers that are not bound by the Rule do not accept paper résumés simply because they have put their entire application process on the Internet. One great advantage to applicants is that large employers can easily route the online résumés of desirable applicants to the appropriate divisions, offices, plants, etc.
If they won't take my résumé, shouldn't I have stayed home and registered online?
There is great value in the time you spend talking to recruiters, even if you can't hand them your résumé.
- You have a great chance to make an outstanding personal impression. A person who presents himself/herself extremely well at a booth may even get an interview for a job opening that is not on the recruiter's list.
- You have a chance to learn about the recruiters' companies and their job opportunities.
- You have a chance to network with the recruiters. You can ask a recruiter what it's like to work at his/her company, and how best to navigate the company's application process. You can ask the recruiter to take down your name and phone number or email address, and ask for his/her business card so that you can follow up.
What if the employers are in industries that don't interest me?
An employer's primary industry or company name does not necessarily indicate what openings the company is trying to fill.
- A drugstore chain may be recruiting for positions in transportation and distribution.
- A brewery may be recruiting for jobs in information technology.
What time should I arrive?
Feel free to try and arrive a little early to get near the front of the registration line, or you can choose to arrive a few hours after the event starts and avoid the crowd.
If you have a question that is not answered here, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Aging in place: the popular phrase makes growing old in your own home, surrounded by the things you love, sound positively idyllic. The reality can be quite different when your arthritic knees cry for mercy every time you climb the stairs and the pot drawer under the oven is suddenly just beyond your reach.
"We're not prepared for the tsunami of changes we're going to face in our housing needs as we grow older," says Robert Howlett, owner of Sage Solutions for Independent Living Inc. (www.sagesolutions.ca). His company specializes in products and services to improve residential safety and independence.
Aging in place is usually less expensive than institutional care, Howlett says, with $25,000 to $30,000 the maximum that most people are willing to spend on renovations to stay at home.
The problem is, most of us don't think about making our homes more accessible until an accident or sudden illness, many of them associated with old age, forces our hand.
That was the case with Ming-Che Chen, one of Howlett's clients. Chen had barely retired when a vacation accident in Hawaii three years ago left him a paraplegic. His son, Jason, found and modified a home in Kanata close to his own for his father, mother and sister.
"A lot of the things we've done for my father would be sufficient to let most seniors stay in their homes," says Jason. They include revamping the first floor so his father can live there comfortably. The dining room was converted into a bedroom. A main-floor linen closet and powder room were combined into a bathroom with an accessible shower. Carpeting hindered wheelchair movement, so it was replaced with commercial-grade vinyl.
Other upgrades included an elevator from the garage to the main floor, making it easier for the elder Chen to enter and exit the home.
Howlett calls bathrooms — with fixtures too close together and difficult-to-access showers — "public enemy No. 1" for aging clients. The rooms often need to be gutted, with renovation costs usually running $10,000 and up. Howlett is enthusiastic about the Best Bath Systems' line of barrier-free acrylic showers. Starting at about $2,500 plus installation, they feature a door and threshold that can be removed to allow wheelchair access. They also have a wood core, so grab bars can be located anywhere.
Products such as the Invisia Collection from Ottawa-based HealthCraft Products (healthcraftproducts.com) are stylish alternatives to the usual institutional-look bars and other bathroom accessories.
Kitchens, with their hard-to-reach cabinetry and standardized layouts, are another challenge as we age. AARP says ovens with side-hinged doors and multi-level work areas can make life easier.
Ottawa-based designer Dyanne Donahue, of Persimmon Interiors (persimmoninteriors.com), has helped clients renovate for aging in place. She suggests relatively inexpensive re-dos such as replacing cavernous lower kitchen cabinets with drawers for plates and glasses. Drawer inserts from Richelieu (richelieu.com), available at Richelieu Hardware on Belfast Road, help keep items organized, she says. A countertop extension that folds down when not in use makes food preparation easier for someone in a wheelchair.
Other simple changes can make a home more elder-friendly, says Donahue. Lever-style light dimmers available at Home Depot are a blessing for those with arthritis.
Tiled floors should be non-slip and the grout flush with the tiles so walking is more comfortable and tripping less likely.
Echoing Howlett, she stresses the importance of being proactive about aging.
"If you're doing a kitchen renovation anyway, ask yourself how it could be designed so it's accessible if you lose some of your mobility."

An inventor, entrepreneur, and corporate executive, Carl C. Harris was the third of four generations of his family to help manage the Rodney Hunt Company, a major manufacturer of waterwheels, turbines, and textile machinery based in Orange, Mass. While still in high school in 1898, Harris already displayed a sharp business and technical eye, establishing the first telephone company in Orange, and he began his career after graduation from Worcester Polytechnical Institute, working as a draftsman for GE and then as a superintendent at Rodney Hunt. After a brief stint at the Simplex Time Recorder Company in Gardner, Harris returned to Rodney Hunt for good in 1912. After acquiring a controlling interest in 1917, he remained with the company in several capacities through the Depression and Second World War, serving as general manager, vice president, and treasurer, and from 1938-1947, as president. Throughout his career, Harris remained active in developing or improving a variety of new products and processes, registering a total of 99 patents, and he regularly used his offices at Rodney Hunt to launch other, smaller enterprises, including the Slencil Company,which manufactured mechanical pencils; Riveto, which produced toys and a paper fastening device; and Speed-Mo, a manufacturer of a moistening pad system. Harris retired in 1956 and died four years later in Orange at the age of 79.
The Harris Papers are centered closely on the entrepreneurial activity of Carl C. Harris, and include a particularly thick set of business records for the Slencil Company (ca.1935-1960) and the Riveto Company (1930s-1940s), and the slender record book of the Home Telephone Company. In addition to these, the collection includes many dozen slencils, including prototypes, speciality models, presentation sets, store displays, and marketing designs; examples of Riveto toys, Simplex inventions, flotation devices, and other oddities invented by Harris, along with the associated patents.

Rather of viewing it on our displays every currently as well as once more, why do not you attempt executing it in genuine life with your attractive companion?
Making your much-loved scene revive with the pornstar experience!
If you fantasize regarding reenacting a gross scene in your bed room, after that you desire the porn-star experience, likewise abbreviated as PSE. The pornstar experience is essentially experimenting with something you have actually seen in a pornography video clip; maybe anything that pleases your fancy. From a saucy employer & assistant scene, a scene in a pool, a filthy fuck on a stairs, or perhaps something straightforward like facials or Russians.
If I stroll to my companion's residence and also view on their laptop computers today, there would certainly go to the very least one pornography video clip conserved in their favourites on Google Chrome or Firefox. They would not need to fret, however, as I recognize that it would certainly be an intrusion of personal privacy if I go as well as stick my nose in every person's unclean service. And also, the pornstar experience is a significant turn on.
The usual pornography fads that are looked in European nations are creampies, teenagers, beginners and also milfs. To me, that's not actually a shock. I was talking unclean to a man one evening, he sent me a web link to a video clip on a pornography web site and also angelically asked me:
' Can we do this one evening, child?'
From what I bear in mind, it was a lady being bordered by 2 people as well as she was obtaining dual passed through hard. An additional evening, we were texting each various other as well as we began obtaining frisky with each various other again. I remember him claiming to me that 'I must use the heaviest eye make-up and also the blackest eye liner as well as trick you with my penis, so when you weep it will certainly flow all down your face.'
We really did not obtain rounded to it, yet the video clip looked rather enjoyable to check out.
I teased him by claiming:
' You're attempting to transform me right into a pornstar?'
I really did not take any kind of offense to that declaration, since I understand that I do imitate a pornography celebrity in the bed room; when I seem like it naturally. This leads me on an additional point.
The pornstar experience does not simply focus on hardcore fucking with great deals of spit and also orgasm everywhere.It can be sensuous as well as soft like among those 'Sweetie' video clips, where the video clip has actually been modified with soft lights and also the room wall surfaces are covered in either white, off-white or child pink.
Once more, pornstars are well prominent for going at it. Difficult. That is why many of my pals desire their companions to reenact a motion done by Sasha Grey, or to check out a circumstance in the sex dungeon from among the 'Twist' video clips.
call girl Ardintoul, courtesan Ardintoul, hookers Ardintoul, whores Ardintoul, gfe Ardintoul, girlfriend experience Ardintoul, shagging Ardintoul, dogging Ardintoul, fuck buddy Ardintoul, hookups Ardintoul, free sex Ardintoul, sex meet Ardintoul, nsa sex Ardintoul
' You imitate one.'
If I stroll to my friend's residence and also look on their laptop computers right currently, there would certainly be at the very least one pornography video clip conserved in their favourites on Google Chrome or Firefox. The pornstar experience is essentially attempting out something you have actually seen in a pornography video clip; it can be anything that pleases your fancy. I was talking filthy to a man one evening, he sent me a web link to a video clip on a pornography web site and also angelically asked me:
That is why so several of my close friends desire their companions to reenact a motion carried out by Sasha Grey, or to attempt out a circumstance in the sex dungeon from one of the 'Twist' video clips.

My vocation as a leadership development consultant has, over the past twenty years, enabled me to travel extensively and pursue my avocation as a photographer. Specifically, my passion is color street photography. When I first started at NYU I came across Walker Evans' book First and Last. His images really resonated with me (I own some) and strongly influenced my photography. Over the years I continue to visit New York and build my collection of over 4000 images. My travels have enabled me to photograph over two dozen cities throughout North America and Europe. The slices of urban life that I capture are interactive and evolving montages -- buildings, trees, street art and graffiti -- constantly changing like life itself. My images are tightly framed and composed to focus and reacquaint you, the viewer, with the complexity and textured richness of our surroundings. I invite you to reinterpret the common, and in so doing perhaps find the extraordinary.

The Hyundai Equus is the flagship of the Hyundai fleet. A luxury midsize sedan with all of the expected appointments, it remains a bit of a tough sell for Hyundai. The vehicle offers good engineering and solid construction made from the best materials. It comes filled with every add-on buyers could ask for at this price point. In fact, the Equus offers enough that it really can stack up well when compared with cars that cost as much as $30,000.
The suggested price puts the Equus in a class completion with the Lexus LS460 and the Mercedes-Benz S550. But feature- and quality-wise, the Equus competes with the Mercedes-Benz E550 and the Infiniti M56. Those models have something of a loyal and brand-conscious following that really don't shop around. That leaves the Equus in a peculiar spot.
Hyundai clearly follows the lead of Lexus and Infiniti into the upscale luxury sedan market, and that might indicate the trouble in selling the Equus. Infiniti represents the luxury subsidiary of Nissan, and Lexus marks Toyota's luxury car models. In other words, when Toyota and Nissan decided to make luxury cars, they had the good marketing sense not to put the names on those cars of brands that consumers associate with low-cost or mid-priced vehicles. Hyundai might want to follow suit and spin off its own luxury division with a suitable name.
With that in mind, it is still only fair to look at the Equus at least partially on its own terms as a luxury vehicle, but the ultimate success or failure of a model depends on consumer perception, handling the competition, and sales. Buyers who don't need a luxury brand badge on the fender will find that Hyundai works hard to make the Equus prove itself.
Styling is a matter of personal preference, but many like the lines and design of the Equus; it certainly fits in with the competition in the looks department. Hyundai's luxury sedan offers two trim levels: Signature and Ultimate. The Signature has adaptive headlights, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, a sunroof, 19-inch alloy wheels, and adaptive xenon HID headlights. The Ultimate includes a power-closing trunk lid and a forward-view cornering camera.
Both trims use the same engine and transmission. It certainly specs out well with a 5.0-liter V-8 producing 429 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. The rear drive receives power from an eight-speed automatic transmission. Apparently six gears just don't get the job done. When you spend more, you expect to get more.
The exterior of the Equus has all of the high-end gadgets a buyer will find in the next rung up on the price ladder, making for an unusual class entry: a ""budget"" luxury sedan.
The inside of the Equus employs high-end materials and intelligent design. In this area, as well, Hyundai really matches up with other top-of-the-line Asian luxury cars. In this class of vehicle, manufacturers can easily include a lot of controls that become difficult or confusing to operate. The Equus uses a large LCD screen, straightforward multimedia, and climate controls to simplify the task of managing the extensive technologies common to luxury cars.
The impressive list of interior items includes a lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control, keyless ignition/entry, a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, heated and ventilated power front seats, heated power-reclining rear seats, premium leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, power window shades, navigation with a multimedia controller, Bluetooth, and a 17-speaker Lexicon audio system with an iPod interface, satellite radio, and a six-disc CD changer. All of that comes standard on the Signature. Stepping up to the Ultimate results in a unique change: a pair of reclining bucket seats with heating/cooling/massaging functions and a passenger-side power footrest replace the rear bench seat. Some compare the interior of the Equus to a limo in terms of quality and interesting design.
The Equus offers a comfortable ride. The power and performance provide enough for most driving situations, but it doesn't compete with fine European sport sedans. The lack of torque impedes performance at lower rpms, and the solid handling does not live up to that of a BMW or Mercedes. Most drivers appreciate the quality of the ride in an Equus, but serious performance-loving buyers will want to stick with the coveted European luxury performers.
New additions for the 2012 model year include a 5.0-liter V-8 engine, an eight-speed transmission, and power sunshades for the rear window.
The Equus has not gone through many changes and past versions share many similarities with current versions.

1,620,000 Dimes
Yesterday, Metro announced it had painted bigger numbers on each rail car in an effort to increase safety. They spent $162,000 on the project. That's 1,620,000 dimes!
One could debate the merits of the move, but what we can't understand is why Metro also spent manpower brushing out the old numbers as seen above. What a waste.
It's not like Metro is against a little extra signage here and there.

Seriously, how embarrassing is that? It's shameful - people should not be hired if they don't have basic skills. I am not filled with confidence that metro has the best team to guarantee safety for its passengers.

It's kind-of true. It's actually pretty easy to tell what series car you are in - the only ones that might be difficult to differentiate from each-other are the 2000 and 3000. How does this increase safety? When there's a crash, a helicopter can see a big 1000 series car being the one that derailed in the middle with the most people in it?
1000: old, creaky, extra seats, dim lighting, smell funny, weird color scheme -- trademark whiny metro car sound when they move
2000/3000: Rehab'd by Alstom around the same time, similar design, but not entirely the same. 2000 do look a little older too.
4000: trademark buzz sound when running, no LED signs and obviously not 1000 car, easy to label.
5000: Circular floor door lights, LED Signs are a little longer - can actually fit "BRANCH AVENUE" as opposed to "BRANCH AVE" which is on all other series cars
6000: Newest, cleanest looking. Easy to tell.
There, now pay me 1,620,000 dimes.

The farecard machines at West Falls Church have handmade signs saying something like "FARES ARE 10 CENTS MORE THEN POSTED". I noticed that at least one of the signs had been corrected, presumably by a spelling-conscious passenger.

Why is it so many metro employees cannot spell simple words? I just don't get it. One would think for bus driving, at the least, the person could spell. Now I wonder if they know how to spell the words "Stop" and "Caution?" They aren't always accompanied by a pretty round colored light.
This could explain a lot. If they cannot spell, they probably do not read well either. All those Metro memos and warnings are just scribbles on a paper.

This IS the safety issue here. Money spent on new identification markings, plus different colored platform lights to WMATA = safety. Then they pat themselves on the back, and rest assured that they have attained "Mission Accomplished."
This is so much worse than just paying lip service to safety. This is money wasted that should go toward actual safety. What is the safety value here, preventing myopia (medical myopia, not WMATA's budget schedule)?

I see the safety implications: maybe this helps prevent 10 car trains?
Also makes it easier to ID train cars in an emergency, if you ever have to use that red emergency button to say a man in 3224 is having a heart attack - much easier if paramedics can clearly see which car to run to.
Metro sucks enough without creating straw complaints.

I agree entirely! that's what makes me suspect that the infection is externally sourced from media or a portable device. Even so, it still shouldn't work these days.If 2 year old threats are still giving you trouble, something needs to change.
Unfortunately I don't have a copy of any of the conficker variants to experiment with, but I would expect Avira and the interactive module of AdAware to spot and block them.
What I don't quite understand is why the Windows auto-update hasn't resolved the issue?

You may wonder what to do to get long hair? It may take 5-6 years to grow your hair long enough to boast an impressive layered hair style. Is there any way to make this happen much faster and almost immediately? Surely, there is.
Hair extensions is the quickest way to get long hair immediately, without the need to wait for so many years.
Since such a wonderful transformation will remain a secret between you and your hair designer, you will undoubtedly make a lasting impression on friends, colleagues and, of course, the beloved man who will probably like your cute long hair.
Hair extensions is a modern miracle that can instantly transform any girl by giving her the desired cascade of curly hair or a famous braid below her waist line. You can grow your hair within just a few hours and will completely change your image. It's real!
If you are intrigued and what to know more about what to do to get long hair, you will probably find the following information useful.
In addition, you can make a zonal hair extension, i.e. to lengthen hair bangs or hair in the temporal or occipital area. In addition, hair extensions make it possible to forget all about tiresome hours that we spend on hair styling and waving our unruly curls for curly hair.
How to get hair extensions?
1. Hair extensions micro loops
This is a revolutionary technology that combines all the advantages of micro beads and capsular hair extensions.
Micro hair loops are the fastest and safest hair extension system. You will spend just an hour or so in your hair designer's studio and will get the best flourish for any woman – a gorgeous human hair.
Thanks to hair extensions with micro loops, your hair will look so natural that it's impossible to distinguish it from your own hair.
2. Hair extensions micro ring (microcapsules)
Because size does matter, many hair extension companies use smaller rings and capsules that are more comfortable to wear and women may feel more confident with these hair extensions.
The advantage of microcapsules is obvious.
You will be happy to learn that there are new hair extension clips available that are only 0.3 mm in diameter. Just imagine how small, thin and absolutely flat are these hair clips!
Improved keratin and human hair of different colors will make the clip even more invisible and durable.
3. Chignon braids or hair extensions with micro beads
They have a very comfortable and unobtrusive loop that secures the extension and makes it very durable.
You can also arrange your new hair extension in a ponytail. This is a really versatile hairpiece!

xkcd's MIT Comic
Actually there isn't a lot for me to say - Never having attended or considered attending MIT, I don't really understand what Randall is talking about in any but the last panels. Of the two people who e-mailed me the comic, both of whom are MIT students, one said it was pretty good and one said it was "mildly funny." I trust them.
But as Mr. "Mildly Funny" put it, isn't there something a little weird about a guy in his mid-20s hanging out at MIT enough to make these kinds of jokes? Randy never went to MIT but he spends apparently a creepy amount of time there, which kind of weirds out Mr. Mildly Funny. I agree with this.
Anyway, I don't have much else to say, just thought that a new comic should not go unnoticed.
18 comments:
They're cute one-panel jokes, not bad for a "welcome to MIT" page made by high schoolers. But if the art's just stick figures and simple doodles, why not draw the comics themselves? "Randall's a minor celebrity, and his involvement will draw more attention!" Fair enough, but then the bar is lifted, and Randall's comics are at the level of high schoolers applying to MIT.ReplyDelete
Which isn't necessarily an insult, except to the commenters there whose MINDS ARE BLOWN at how AWESOMELY HILARIOUS the comic is. Some doodles just blew their minds. If enrolled at MIT, they should be given scholarships to drop out and prevent lowering the value of an MIT degree.

Yeah, Carl, because 24 years old is much too old to be hanging around 18-22 year-olds. I don't see what is so creepy about a 24-year-old nerdy guy who lives near Cambridge hanging around 22-year-old nerdy guys who live nearby. Plus, you know, graduate students.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 14, 2009 at 6:56 PM
More than undergrads go to MIT. Most of the graduate students would be in their mid-20s. So it's not so unusual for a guy in his mid-20s with similar interests to hang out with people at MIT, which would probably involve being at MIT.ReplyDelete
From there, it's only a small step to a group of high school students applying to MIT trying to get a relatively famous webcomic author (especially one whose comic focuses on subjects that would coincide with the interests of people applying to MIT) to make a comic for them.
See also the person above.
OK i will specify: One of the e-mailers, who said she sees him hanging around a lot, said she was a freshman, so the difference in age would be more like 6 years. Happy now?ReplyDelete

Would it be creepy for a 24 year old student (Which, there are people in their mid 30s in some of my classes, so 24's not that old to be hanging around a University) to be around MIT? No, of course not. But, well, he's a student! He has a reason to be around there! ... Well, Randall doesn't? It's not like MIT is a hub of research, innovation, and just overall geeky people. Except that it is. You hang out with people with similar interests to you. After a certain age point, the difference stops to matter. My university has a board gaming club, and 5 of the regular attendees are people that live in the local community, but a good 10+ years older than Average University Student Age. They attend because there are students here that like playing obscure/geeky board games. Is that odd?
I suppose you'd find it so, but none of the students that attend do.

LOL, IN JOKES.ReplyDelete
The creepiness of age differences is a highly subjective thing.ReplyDelete
Doesn't Randall have an equation for this sort of thing?ReplyDelete
24/2 = 12, +7 = 19. So it's not creepy for him to appeal to 19-year-olds. Consistent!

Randall likes to play videogames (usually with other people), and has friends at MIT. Where did you keep your game systems in college? The student center?ReplyDelete
Y'all are grasping. It's kindof become a running theme.
Thomas: That formula was not original to Randall, just so you know. And it does work pretty well for most creepiness things.ReplyDelete
Most recent cuddlefish: no actually.
First: I keep my game systems at my house/apartment. It is the place where I live, and also the place where I keep things I enjoy! Hence, game systems. And if living on campus, I'd find a place that isn't a dorm, because dorm rooms are the worst place for such things, ever.
Second: while there are some college cultures where undergrads spend a lot of time hanging out with grad students and graduates, they are rare. Harvard undergrads always feel awkward when they feel like they are the only undergrads present, for instance. They often comment on this fact. I'm sure it's similarly weird when all your friends are undergrad except for this one guy.
One of the reasons age differences are creepy is because you are at completely different places in your life, dealing with different things, et cetera, and are not sharing the things common to people of a similar age.
Now, the later one gets in college, the more likely one is to have friends who have graduated. But I can easily see an incoming freshman finding it weird that someone who has graduated is hanging around.
I must say I disagree with it being creepy that a 24 year old would hang out with students. Many postgrad students/students that did gap years/medical students/architects etc are over 24.ReplyDelete
However I do find it annoying how, as Randall sees himself as part of some sort of "science illuminati", he feels that this somehow qualifies him to talk with authority about MIT, even though he has no connection with the institution whatsoever.

Well, he was dating a girl who lived in said MIT dorm for quite awhile. Also, anyone who's ever been to MIT knows that a 24-year old cambridge resident is pretty low on the scale of creepy things one routinely runs into.ReplyDelete
Ok, obviously I don't know the details here and I wasn't trying to say that it is creepy; just that the first I heard of it was from an e-mailer who did know a bit more and did think it was weird. Obviously we don't know all of what's going on and we won't agree on the creepiness levels even if we did. So - the argument is INCONCLUSIVE.ReplyDelete

In my university, there is some guy who is always around despite the facts that he hasn't been a student there for sixteen years, and that now he is officially working in a other city. He is currently 40, and apparently he has no intention to leave.ReplyDelete
So, no, Randall is not creepy because he's 24 and hangs out with MIT freshmen.
See guys, the fact that some other guy is more creepy is proof that Randy is not creepy.ReplyDelete
Fun fact: creepy is not just a binary switch. There are different levels of creepy! Ranging from 'asking that girl you met in English class out one too many times, not getting the hint that she is not interested' on up to 'setting up surveillance cameras on her house and bedroom so you can always watch her while she is at home.' Randy can be creepy, and 40-year-old dude can be even creepier.ReplyDelete
Rob: I want to say this one more time in my defense: I set up those video cameras in her house because I wanted to help catch those other stalkers that might have been there.ReplyDelete

Hawk ready for White Sox to start fresh
CHICAGO -- A prevailing thought running through the mind of Ken "Hawk" Harrelson goes something like this: Don't even mention the 2013 White Sox season at the start of the 2014 campaign or any other time throughout the 162-game schedule.
This iconic television play-by-play personality, beginning his 30th season in the White Sox booth, understands that thought won't be entirely possible to execute.
CHICAGO -- A prevailing thought running through the mind of Ken "Hawk" Harrelson goes something like this: Don't even mention the 2013 White Sox season at the start of the 2014 campaign or any other time throughout the 162-game schedule.
This iconic television play-by-play personality, beginning his 30th season in the White Sox booth, understands that thought won't be entirely possible to execute.
"Yeah, I've never seen a ballclub perform that poorly," Harrelson told MLB.com of last year's 99-loss campaign during a recent Spring Training conversation. "Not any club I played on or any club I was associated with.
"I told players this is the worst performing team I've ever been associated with in my life and I never want to see it again, I can tell you that. It took me a long time to get over it.
"When the season is over, I usually can shake it off in three or four weeks," Harrelson said. "It took me a couple of months before I could get over that season. I've been asked questions by friends every day I see them: 'What happened? What happened?' Finally I got to a point where I said, 'I'm not talking about it anymore.'"
So enough discussion about the White Sox porous defense and an offense that was last in the American League in runs scored. Enough talk about the seemingly different ways the White Sox found to lose each night, making them a group just good enough to be bad.
Harrelson would rather focus on the young core put together by general manager Rick Hahn since last July, when Avisail Garcia was acquired from Detroit in a three-team deal that sent Jake Peavy to Boston. He also wants to talk about the job Hahn has done in not only reshaping the roster and organization, but building a buzz around a group that previously had flat-lined in regard to fan interest.
"Unbelievable," said Harrelson, picking out one glowing word to describe Hahn's body of work. "We lost 99 games last year. We were 63-99 and you lose 99 games and the perception is not real good.
"Our fans now, because of SoxFest and because of what Rick has done, we are optimistic after losing 99 games. I've never seen that before.
"The good young players are absolutely stunning," Harrelson said. "You got some guys out there who have a chance to be really good players. The new kid [Jose] Abreu and of course Avisail is the real deal, and we've got a guy who is going to really benefit from all of this in [Dayan] Viciedo. Abreu and some of the guys we have, Garcia, are going to bring Tank up. I think that's how people go off of each other in baseball."
Plenty of kudos were saved by Harrelson for Paul Konerko, a deserved Harrelson favorite, who fills a part-time playing, full-time mentoring role in '14 during his 16th and final season with the White Sox. Harrelson believes those responsibilities perfectly fit the captain.
"His role this year is going to be huge and he's going to be the leader he has been in the past," Harrelson said. "I was the leader on a couple of ballclubs I played on, and when you are the leader and you are not going well, it's hard to be a leader.
"He was crippled up last year, was going bad and the team was going bad. He is going to be an inspiration to a lot of these young players this season. He'll have a bigger role this year than he has in the past few years. He's going to help these guys. ... We are going to have a situation now where, the only way you can win at the Major League level is to have fun. The way we can have fun is go win."
In regard to those winning ways, Harrelson is more optimistic about the White Sox contending in '15 than '14. But he quickly points out that Red Sox fans weren't very optimistic going into '13 after a forgettable '12 and all they did was win the World Series behind general manager Ben Cherington's roster shuffle.
"You know why? He's one of the few guys who didn't go after talent. He went after an attitude," said Harrelson of Cherington. "He brought in [manager John] Farrell. He went out and got [Jonny] Gomes and [Mike] Napoli, he got grinders to complement [Dustin] Pedroia. It can happen here.
"Young players we have are going to bring the veterans up. That's about the only way you can rejuvenate veterans, by young blood. We have enough young blood on this team and enough young talent."
There isn't much that Harrelson hasn't seen baseball-wise at this point when factoring in his parts of seven decades in the game. He's trying to focus on the upcoming positives and put last year's "nightmare," as Harrelson describes it, out of his memory.
"I know one thing," Harrelson said. "Our fans this year are going to have a good time watching this ballclub play."

WA Considering Two-Tiered Drivers License System
SEATTLE (AP) — The races for governor and attorney general have brought renewed attention to a proposal that would create a two-tiered driver's license system in Washington to address the issue of driving by immigrants who can't provide proof of legal U.S. residency. Washington and New Mexico remain the only two states in the country not to require proof of legal U.S. residency when applying for a driver's license. Under the proposal known as the Utah model, a person who can't prove U.S. residency can get a permit that allows them to drive, but that document is not a valid identification.

From the municipality of Potenza Picena, Italy, the music lovers at Elettromedia were kind enough to send me a pair of their Hi-Energy component speakers.
If you don't recognize the Elettromedia name, they are the parent company of such highly regarded brands as Hertz and Audison. The speaker system they sent for my perusal is the top of the line product in their Hi-Energy series, and priced at $699.00, oriented towards value conscious audiophiles.
I have enjoyed some previous experience with Hertz loudspeakers, and I've always come away generally impressed, so I was looking forward to playing with this "best of the series" system.
The speakers arrived in good condition thanks to a well-designed carton that holds everything securely in place, and in the interest of the planet, is 100% recyclable to boot! Included in the carton is pretty much everything you'll need to install the system in a variety of applications, including four different types of tweeter mounting configurations. Whether you need to flush mount or surface mount the tweeters, the included hardware will have you covered. The grilles for the 6.5-inch mids are a 3 piece design, there is a black ABS plate that mounts behind the driver, and is used to retain a black perforated metal cover. Or you can just use the silver colored "kick protector" grille for a different cosmetic look that mimics the tweeter, or for even more options, you can use both together. Seems like a lot of options for parts that generally get relegated to a box under the installers workbench. Does anyone use grilles anymore? The drivers used in this system are very well constructed pieces that would be at home in a good home system.
Rated at 150 watts continuous, the 6.5-inch mid-range/woofer driver uses a cast aluminum basket that mounts in a 5.75-inch hole. The driver is 3 inches deep, and has 4 mounting screws 90 degrees apart. Each component of the mid-range is designed with high performance in mind. For example, in an effort to minimize rear wave interference, the basket uses three sturdy "spokes" instead of the usual four or more and has an aerodynamic shape to the spider landing. The basket also incorporates a vented bottom plate, and a radial venting system to improve heat dissipation. Other thoughtful performance enhancements include an oversize magnet structure and a 1.2-inch copper clad aluminum voice coil, wound on a low mass Kapton former.
The cone is also unusual in its design Hertz calls a V-cone. Constructed of pressed damped mesh fibers, it has a special shape said to improve off-axis dispersion and high frequency detail. The cone is attached to the basket via a 3.5-inch linear Nomex spider below, and on top by a butyl rubber surround. A deep V-shaped dustcap completes the V-cone design. The wire terminals are the usual push on spades and because they are very solidly mounted, won't cause concerns of terminal breakage when connecting them. Interestingly, the speakers require female spade connectors, but neither wire, nor any connectors came in my system. This can be a pain for the "do-it-yourself" enthusiast, who may not have these connectors in the home toolbox (but for 700 bucks, I at least expect connectors!).
The tweeter used in the Hertz HSK 165XL system is also specialized for the application. Utilizing a 1.1-inch Tetolon fiber dome, neodymium magnets, and a back damping chamber, the Hertz tweeter has an over surround waveguide type grille aperture, said to result in a "diffused off-axis dispersion." The tweeter comes with about 8 inches of wire already soldered to the terminals.
Crossover networks for the system are housed in nicely finished enclosures that have an easy to remove, but secure top cover. Mounting screw locations are inside, for a more finished appearance when installed, and the crossover housings use a really nice tactile "rubber" sort of finish with a silver contrasting plastic. Inside, there are -12dB low pass and high pass filters for the mid and tweeter. The tweeters use a crossover point of about 2.5kHz, which is good to know if you intend to use the system in an all active crossover application. Iron core inductors are oriented to prevent magnetic crosstalk, and polyester capacitors are used in the tweeters filter. The resistors for tweeter attenuation and mid alignment are mounted high off the PCB for maximum cooling and reliability. Speaker and amp connection terminals are Phillips head screws with a captured square washer underneath. Tweeter level control is accomplished by selecting one of three terminals, +2dB, 0dB or -2dB.
After a short break-in period, armed with a selection of my favorite CD's, I sat down to listen to this high performance system in my dedicated listening room. Regular readers of my speaker evaluations will recall that I prefer to do my listening in a very quiet room with controlled acoustics, so my listening experiences and opinions are not colored by all the variables encountered when listening in a vehicle. With the system mounted in the baffles and the tweeters connected to the 0dB positions, I began with Diana Krall's, "S'Wonderful" from the CD "The Look of Love." This is a very good track for evaluating how well the speakers re-create her fantastic vocals, and also for getting a feel for the recreation of a sound stage. The first thing I noticed, was how warm and natural the midrange sounded! The timbre of her voice, and the ambience in the recording was plainly evident. Switching to Dire Straits stellar "Brothers in Arms" CD, I played "Ride Across the River." Again, the Hertz system had a smooth warmth and natural timbre, and very good midrange definition! I thought the tweeters were a bit on the polite side for my taste, so I increased the level to the +2dB setting, and the top end then had more of the detail and sizzle I expected from Mark Knopfler's guitar work. Bass output is strong and smooth with good definition and impressive clarity.
I listened to the system for about 3 hours, which only happens when I really am enjoying myself, so the speakers obviously sounded pretty darn good to me. Whether I played Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classical, or Rap, the Hertz system simply reproduced the music as intended, which is all you can ask of a great speaker system. Unlike some less proficient systems, the Hertz HSK 165XL's did not require any tone adjustments when switching musical genres or when making large changes in volume. And I did get them rocking for a while, at volumes high enough to not be able to speak over, and the system had no complaints at all. My only relatively minor criticism was while the mids are quite good off axis, I found the tweeters to be fairly diffused and more than a bit subdued when I got 30 to 45 degrees to the side. I'd suggest mounting the tweeters as high and on-axis as possible with this system, to be able to fully appreciate their high end capabilities. A chat with Hertz confirmed this, as they recommend mounting the tweeters in the cars A pillars, and as on axis as possible for best performance.
After my listening was done, I moved the system into my speaker lab and ran frequency response plots as well as impedance curves. No big surprises, the system measured just like it sounded, nice and smooth, with a bit of a bump down low which is where the "warmth" of the sound came from. My system showed a woofer resonance at just over 70Hz, and another small impedance rise at about 1500Hz, no doubt the resonance point of the tuned chamber tweeter.
Generally speaking, this is a very excellent competent system, with an uncommon smoothness and natural tonality when set up correctly. I liked the sonics of the Hertz components, particularly when I increased the tweeters output, and sat on axis to them. The system will handle high power amplification, and doesn't object to being played loud, but also doesn't need a lot of power to sound great. While not an inexpensive system at around 700 bucks, I have heard systems costing twice as much that certainly didn't sound twice as good, so it's still considered a good value in my book! As always, you should evaluate the sound of any speaker system for yourself, before plunking down your hard-earned greenbacks. For more info visit: www.hertzaudiovideo.com.

Does anyone know of a qualified glass installer in the Orlando or Central Florida area who can do a windshield and rear window installation using the "dam and urethane" method as opposed to using the butyl strip?Thanks................Dave
John, thanks for your reply.Are you saying that any one of these hundreds of glass shops should be qualified to do this job?......including using the dam?......including setting the glass at the right height so that the window moldings fit correctly?I didn't know if this was a case where you have to find an "old school" guy who is experienced with old cars to get this done correctly.Dave

Frankenstein Meets Gandy Goose
Here's a standard Terrytoons presentation poster showing an animator's hand wielding brush and cigarette, with space at center reserved for an image and title of the current offering.
Produced by Terrytoons in 1939 and distributed by 20th Century Fox, G Man Jitters casts its dimwitted hero, Gandy Goose, as Sherlock Holmes in a haunted house yarn. Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster turn up, only to be terrified by a mouse. Ghost gags and wild action ensue, with the principals dangling from a chandelier and Frankenstein's spring-loaded heart popping out of his chest. The whole thing turns out to be a dream — a standard plot device for Gandy Goose stories.
Based in New Rochelle, New York, producer Paul Terry's discount cartoon studio operated with a skeleton crew and notoriously cheap budgets, churning out a new short every other week. Once-popular house characters included Farmer Al Falfa, Puddy the Pup and Dinky Duck. Some of us might remember Mighty Mouse, magpies Heckle and Jeckle and TV's Deputy Dawg, created after the studio was bought out by CBS in 1955.
Gandy Goose appeared in 48 cartoons between 1938 and 1955. Filmgoers of the era would have immediately recognized the character's voice and mannerisms as an imitation of comic Ed Wynn, "the perfect fool". Gandy's pal, Sourpuss the cat, talked like Jimmy Durante. Gandy Goose was also featured in Terrytoons comic books, including his own title beginning in 1953.
The Frankenstein scenes from G Man Jitters were recycled, with added color, in another Gandy Goose outing, Fortune Hunters (1944). Several sources also list Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster as appearing in the western-themed Ghost Town (1944), but that appears to be an error.
