Juki Maintenance Notes
Counter Knife
- Description
The Juki 5550-6 has a stationary knife, a moving knife, and a thread guide. If they get dull, you will find that the thread does not cut and a rat's nest can build up in the needle plate. The stationary knife may be resharpened once, but I don't think we have a sharpening stone. Its easiest to replace all three at once. I found our thread guide was broken too. If sewing heavy thread, the knife will only last 3 months. It takes under an hour to replace these parts. Keep the knife area clean by removing the needle plate and blowing compressed air on the knives. This helps a lot.
Page 7, Section 20 of the manual has a lame description of this part of the machine. Manual: Media:Juki-ddl-5550-6.pdf
- Buying
I bought a pack of all three parts for $18 on eBay. They are Strong H brand and may not be as good as Juki brand parts, but so far (after one day) they are better than the dull knives we had. I searched ebay for Juki 5550-6. Its listed as an 'Undertrimmer Knife Set'. Original Juki parts would cost $38+tax and a trip to Apparel City (I couldn't find Juki brand parts online).
- Instructions
Caution! Unplug the machine!
You need a #3 allen wrench and this 1/4 wrench with a 4.5 flathead bit. and a can of compressed air. The small flathead screwdriver used for needle changes (in the grey drawer beneath the Juki) is useful too.
Remove needle plate.
Clean the area with compressed air (use air compressor in the dirty shop if there is no canned air).
Note current adjustment position of the stationary knife... This is how we probably want the new one installed.
Remove stationary knife first, then remove the tiny thread guide screw and remove the thread guide, then loosen the allen screw and slide the moving knife toward you.
The wrench pictured above makes it possible to loosen and tighten these small screws at the tough angle. I found the tools in the dirty shop in the top right drawer. The small wrench was in with the ratchets.
Dab a drop of sewing machine oil on the moving knife with a cotton swab. (I'm not sure if this is needed. It may just attract dirt. Considering the abuse it takes, it's probably a good idea).
Replace all three parts in the reverse order that you removed them. A dab of something sticky (I used solder rosin) on the needle replacement flathead screwdriver can keep the tiny screw captive as you replace it into it's hole.

Needle Bar
- Description
The Juki 5550-6 has a polished rod that holds the needle with a set screw. The hole that holds the set screw that holds the needle got stripped and then someone made some improvisations instead of fixing the problem by ordering and replacing the part. That wasn't good because we lost the thread guides in the process.
- Buying
Be sure the new needle bar comes with the set screw as well... or reuse the old one. Needle Bar, Juki #22906002
- Instructions
Caution! Unplug the machine!
You need a large-ish phillips screw driver and several medium and small slotted screw drivers. You also need an egg carton or tray to hold the various parts.
Remove the needle, the set screw that holds the needle, and the thread guides (Juki part numbers #229-06309 and #229-20805 or alternative part number #110-18801)
Remove the small rubber cap on the top of the machine. Its about 6mm in diameter.
Unscrew the three phillips head screws that hold the large, black face plate on the left side of the machine. They are the screws around the perimeter.
Once the needle bar mechanism is visible... Inside the faceplate, remove the black plate that covers the upper half of the needle bar. Remove the screw that holds the needle bar to the rotating crank arm mechanism that moves the bar up and down. Use the correct size driver for this last screw, its stiff and can be stripped if you use the incorrect size driver.
The needle bar slides straight up and out of the top of the machine.
Note that the needle bar has score marks several centimeters above the screw holes. They are visible if you enlarge the image on the right. These are for Needle to Bobbin Hook alignment described in page 6, section 18, of the Manual: Media:Juki-ddl-5550-6.pdf
Insert the new needle bar with the faceted side facing you and the set screw hole facing right of the sewing machine operator.
Tighten the screw on the rotating crank arm mechanism. As noted two steps above, you will have to adjust the Needle to Hook relationship as described in the manual section 18.
Replace the black plate.
Replace the thread guides (Juki part numbers #229-06309 and #110-18801).
Replace the needle (notch facing to the right of the operator).
Replace the set screw that holds the needle.
Replace the big black faceplate on the side of the machine and the three phillips screws that hold it on.
Its probably a good idea to change the sewing machine oil. This can be a very messy process if you overfill it. It will spill on the floor, so don't overfill it! Use new oil because used oil may contain a tiny amount of water which will eventually rust the mechanism.

His sleeve is a collage of designs that motivate and inspire him, with a skull design thrown in, to boot.
He has the phrase "Live Now. Shoot for the Stars" inked on his biceps. This motto is a nod to his ambition as a business owner.
The three pawprints tattooed below the elbow, on the left side of the photo, above, represent his three dogs (2 Cocker Spaniels and a mutt).
The cross and the prayer, "Lord, Protect Me" are based on his Catholic faith.

Manifest | Melbourne Anime FestivalTime to Say Goodbye
The MAFI committee met to decide the future of Manifest. After much discussion and a painful vote, I am sad to say that MAFI is closing its doors. This means that Manifest will not be running again.
Please note that some other events that have previously fallen under the MAFI umbrella are independent groups and will therefore continue. This includes Mani-Midnight, who have a Facebook page here: http://www.facebook.com/manimidnight
When Manifest began, it wasn't trying to be an anime convention; we just wanted to watch some decent anime and maybe talk about Japan. There was no reason why it should have taken off as it did except that people really wanted it to. They believed in it, devoted time and energy and money to it, and grew to love it. Attending Manifest each year was like a family reunion - some of the people there might drive you bonkers, but there's still love on both sides. The affection and support shown to us is immeasurable. I value each of your friendships and the dedication that helped grow Manifest into the giant it became. Lack of an annual Manifest is going to create a void in my life which will be hard to fill.
The MAFI committee decision to end Manifest was not made easily. Over the last few years, Victoria has gone from having one anime and pop-culture convention to having four, with others in development. Wider Australia went crazy with conventions and somewhere along the way, it became a competition: who could have the largest crowds, the newest games, the coolest guests? It was only a matter of time until people chose to save their money for the biggest conventions, leaving funds spread too thinly to allow all the Australian conventions to run well. As a fan-run convention, unfortunately Manifest's time has now come.
'Goodbye' is a simple word with a complicated meaning. I believe that the best way to remember Manifest is with smiles and stories, and hope you do too. Some of the committee members will be sharing their experiences via the #ManiMemories tag on twitter, and I hope that you will add your own positive comments. You can also share your photos on our Facebook page.
This is definitely a very important break in 14 years of history, but we cannot say that this is the end. Manifest will live on in all of your hearts, in the friendships that were formed, and the experiences that were had together. The memories that I will take with me are something money cannot buy. All in all it has been quite a satisfying and exhilarating journey, and I wouldn't trade that for anything.
Love and peace,
(Last) President of Manifest

Osisko shareholders who tender to the offer will be entitled to receive 0.17 of a Goldcorp common share plus an increase in the cash portion of the Offer to a total of C$2.92 for each Osisko common share. The Offer represents a premium to the closing price of Osisko on April 9, 2014 and a superior alternative to the other proposal.

China, which now consumes more than 40 percent of the world's copper, will continue to grow between 6 and 8 percent a year, meaning the market may return to deficit if mining companies don't execute on new projects, Keller said.
"We still think Chinese growth is going to continue, maybe with lower percentages than in the past, but with increases that in absolute terms or tonnage terms are still very significant," he said. "We haven't had any cancellations and there's still lots of interest for our refined copper."

I know that it has a crapload of financial liabilities to pay down. I'm aware that it's lost a whole heap of its cash flow potential from selling that stream. And I'm aware that this company has diluted its share count given any opportunity to raise cash or pay down debt by emitting paper and has generally fucked its shareholders up the ass for years on end by promising and failing to deliver on so many occasions it numbs the brain even to think about it. But maybe this time it's different, maybe it's a buy."

Serra Pelada: Sandstorm $SAND (SAND) (SSL.to) takes over negotiations
The CEO of Sandstorm Gold, Nolan Watson, met last week with representatives of the Cooperative Mining Prospectors of Serra Pelada (Coomigasp) to discuss the Serra Pelada gold and palladium project in Para State. Sandstorm is the majority shareholder in Colossus Minerals, JV partner with Coomigasp in the Serra Pelada Mineral Development Company (SPCDM).
Nolan Watson is a Canadian wunderkind entrepreneur known for his contribution to financial innovation in the mining sector. At 26 he was appointed CFO of Silver Wheaton, where he developed a business model based on advance purchase of precious metals at fixed prices. It raised $ 1 billion which made it into the largest streaming company in the world.
The meeting took place in Curionópolis (Para) and was attended by the negotiation intermediary Marcos Alexandre Mendes, COOMIGASP miners' representatives Gildásio Vieira and José Antônio Vieira, lawyer Marques Ivaldo, the JV legal team, and Francisco Carlos Oliveira Lima who is technical advisor and production manager Coomigasp production.
According to Francisco Carlos Lima, the CEO of Sandstorm CEO said the intention is that mining company builds a new relationship with Coomigasp and the Curionópolis community. He took the opportunity to say that the new board of Colossus is working on a restructuring.
Watson presented the name of a new board member of Colossus in Brazil, who is Canadian, but the name has not been disclosed. Brazil Mining News (NMB) contacted Sandstorm in Canada but was told that only John Frostiak, director and chairman of the board of Colossus can talk about the development. During the meeting , the negotiation intermediary submitted the proposals and demands of Coomigasp, which include the correction of the percentage participation in the project to 49% for cooperative and 51 % for the mining company, as per the original agreement.
The cooperative also asked for the handing over of technical design data to Coomigas. "Coomigasp is partner in the project, but does not have access to data" said the aide. The trustee also requested that conditions be satisfied in relation to the treatment of water in the region and community care programs for the elderly population. " The elderly population in the region is very large, especially the miners who came and stayed for years here," said Lima.
According to Lima, Watson promised to think about the proposals and come back to Brazil after the 15th of April, at which time another meeting with the Cooperative will be scheduled.
The Sandstorm representative said that it is looking for new partners to finance the continuation of the Serra Pelada gold project .

On Sunday March 30th, an assembly of the Ejido Commission was called to discuss renegotiation terms for the contract with the Canadian company, at which the corporate representative Francisco Ballesteros Corrales was present.
Although the vote was not unanimous, the assembly authorized representatives to seek an improved deal with an initial offer of
On Monday morning the offer was lowered to 4.5oz with the intention to reach an deal, however the proposal was rejected by company executives. Due to this, from 6am today the inhabitants of Carrizalillo decided to block access to the large scale mine.

The Seismic Gap: Why North Chile/South Peru should expect a big earthquake soon
Initial analyses conducted by GFZ seismologists have shown that there is no sign that tension in the earth' crust has significantly decreased: "So far tension has been released only in the central section of this vulnerable zone," Oncken further explains. The series of earthquakes began on March 16 with a 6.7-magnitude earthquake. Although the main earthquake with a magnitude of 8.1 broke the central section of the seismic gap of a length of some 100 kilometres, two large segments further north and south remain intact, and these segments are able to cause strong earthquakes with a high risk of ground shaking and tsunamis.Oncken: "This means that the risk of one or even several earthquakes with a magnitude clearly above 8 still exists." Furthermore, the location and magnitude of the aftershocks suggest such a scenario.

Making Small Business Partnerships Work
December 21, 2012 1 Comment
For a small business, alliances and partnerships can be an important path to growth, so learning how to nurture these relationships is critical.
In "Paid to Think: A Leader's Toolkit for Redefining Your Future," husband-and-wife authors David and Lorrie Goldsmith offer a number of tips for making partnerships and alliances work.
For starters, you need to be committed to these relationships so doubt doesn't creep in. Make sure everyone is clear on timelines, expectations, deliverables, communication preferences, collaboration methods and other issues before you even move forward.
Don't overpromise and under-deliver; that can be a sure way to undermine a partnership. Show attention to detail, even down to spell-checking documents. You want your organization to build a good reputation, so demonstrate your professionalism in all aspects of the partnership.
These relationships depend on trust and commitment, so there's no place for apathy. Watch out for self-delusion and keep your eyes open; it's easy to pretend everything's going well when it's not. Be up front about everything, even problems and mistakes. Integrity and honest communication will go a long way toward helping your alliances work.

It will be another week until the NCAA releases regional rankings. In a sense, that isn't so bad because we have some great games this week that will help determine the pecking order, especially in the North and West regions.
I also wanted to remind people of some changes in the playoff selection process this year. One of the main criteria they use to rank and select and eventually seed teams has changed, because instead of using strength of schedule solely in regional games, now every game against a full Division III member counts in strength of schedule.

Product Description
Painting by Marilyn Price.
Artist Information
From the beginning, painting and the decorative arts have always fascinated Marilyn. She was the kid who cut out magazine illustrations, pasted them inside a box and then lay on the floor with her head inside the box; all the better to imagine herself inside the pictures. In 1974, a horse was responsible for the beginning of her "formal" art career. Due to an unpaid hay bill, her job search lead her to be hired at the Rochester Fair to work in the Art Department as a "boy". They usually hired boys to climb ladders and it was agreed that she would be acceptable. Suddenly she was on the inside listening to the jurors critiques, learning what was good, what to avoid. In 1989 Marilyn finally started painting. After years of assuming she couldn't paint, she was suddenly competing at the fairs and winning recognition. Her interest in cars comes from her father. He was a mechanic, rich in car stories. He taught her to name her cars because, "How else would you talk to them?" More about Marilyn and her artistic passions can be found on her website:www.MarilynsBrushWithArt.com

Romance novels aren't typically bastions of gender diversity, but the new title Two Spirit Ranch does have an interesting premise:
Not sure where to turn next, Terri heads off for a trip to small town Clearview, Montana to explore the sprawling ranch her uncle left her. It's there that Terri while speeding down the highway has a run in with the ruggedly handsome sheriff, Jake Collins. As the two find their mutual attraction too strong to deny, Terri, who had only planned to be in town a few days, finds herself wondering if she can risk opening her heart again and sharing a secret from her past with Jake ...Terri was once Terrence.
Author Jaime Stryker says, "Popular art reflects culture, and the past year brought trans issues to the forefront. It was simply time for a romance that also touched upon gender issues." Transgender romance isn't totally untrodden territory. But since the top pick for the genre on Amazon is called Transgender xxx Cumslut, there's probably room for something a little more, uh, romantic.

Every year at BioBlitz, National Geographic and the U.S. National Park Service rally to get people young and old to explore the wild spaces around them during a whirlwind 24-hour search to identify every species they can find. In advance of our next event in Golden Gate National Recreation Area, March 28-29, 2014, we're already exploring stories of the life and lands of northern California. Learn More and Sign Up for BioBlitz 2014!
In this installment, National Geographic's Caryl Sue takes a poetic look at the romance between algae and fungi: lichen. A lichen is not a single organism, but made up of an "alga partner" and a "fungus partner." Ecologically, lichens can grow almost anywhere, including the icy tundra, where trees and most plants are unable to survive. They also survive quite nicely in the Bay Area, and BioBlitzers are sure to see some.
With genuine apologies to Robert Burns.
Their love can be a bit crustose
with areoles in bloom
Their love can produce thread-like string,
called hyphae, when they plume
Their love has colonized the Earth
from deserts to the ice
These extremophiles exist
on sand, on trees, on gneiss
Who could these star-crossed lovers be?
Why are they symbiotes?
They reproduces asexually
unlike us mammal folk
A fungus, a mycobiont,
is one part of the pair
It often lives all on its own:
itself, dead things, and air
The other love, photobiont
can turn light into food
The trick is photosynthesis
a skill that's pretty shrewd
Photobionts can be algae
sometimes cyanobac
Some lucky fungi can have both
at once, and that's a fact
A pair now caught between two worlds
not fungi, not algae
A composite organism
of one, or two, or three
United now, this smart couple
sets out to reproduce
Small spores or fragments of themselves
are set on winds, diffuse
Some reproduce by using spores
sped off to parts unknown
These fungi that do not find mates
are doomed to die alone
Soredia, isidia
are reproductive packs
In orange, or green, or yellow hues
or purple, white, or black
O foliose! O fruticose!
O squamulose, and more!
The fungi and the algae have
so many types in store
Animals use them for their nests—
hummingbirds and turkey
They're almost all that reindeer eat
in the winter, murky
People eat them as "famine food"
They're not a tasty treat
They're used in herbal remedies
in dyes, and perfumes sweet
So, once upon a time ago,
fungi, algae convince—
They fell in love, and they have been
lichen it ever since

Nick O'Hearn thought he was toast when Tiger Woods stood over a match-winning 4-foot putt on the first hole of a playoff at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship. Tiger had trailed by four holes but made a furious comeback despite a day of substandard ball striking.
"I wasn't watching, to be honest with you," O'Hern told the Associated Press. "I was just waiting for the sound of the ball going into the hole."
Tiger missed. The world of golf recoiled in horror.
On the following hole Tiger pulled a 4-iron approach and made bogey. After being bunkered, O'Hern rolled in a 12-foot par putt to win the match.
Did Tiger choke?
I don't know. He said he forgot to fix a ball mark. He admitted he didn't have control of his golf ball, hitting it left, right, left. Whatever you call it, Tiger had a bad day on the golf course.
Meanwhile, the short-hitting Aussie southpaw is the only professional to ever beat Tiger twice in match play. O'Hern has never even trailed Woods.
Hmm ... twice in match play ... never trailed ...
Maybe Paul Azinger could tweak the rules once more to allow Nick O'Hern to play on the U.S. Ryder Cup team. Just a crazy thought.

World leaders -- and business executives -- want to know if countries are succeeding or failing, if their constituents are thriving or suffering, or if their governments are at risk of being toppled by a revolution. Gallup launched its World Poll nearly eight years ago to provide such essential data and insights.
What people are earning or spending doesn't necessarily match what they are thinking.
"We wanted to measure the state of the human condition from the people themselves," says Jon Clifton, a Gallup partner, who notes that the poll -- which gathers data in 160 countries and areas and recently conducted its 1 millionth interview -- gives leaders a scientific window into the thoughts and behaviors of 98% the world's adult population.
A very different story
The World Poll's findings proved particularly salient during the 2011 upheavals in Egypt and Tunisia because the poll captured crucial insights that others missed. GDP per capita was growing in Egypt and Tunisia from 2005 until 2010, and the United Nation's Human Development Index showed a similarly positive trajectory. "Metrics like those suggested that things were getting better," Clifton says.
But the World Poll found something quite different. The percentage of Egyptians that Gallup classifies as thriving dropped from 29% in 2005 to 12% in 2010, and the percentage of Tunisians who were thriving dropped from 24% in 2008 to 14% in 2010. Just before the Arab Spring, Egyptians and Tunisians had well-being rates as low as those in the conflict-ridden Palestinian Territories -- but leaders wouldn't have known that from monitoring GDP metrics.
"The World Poll gave us very different information than the traditional indicators that many leaders are watching," says Clifton. "What people are earning or spending doesn't necessarily match what they are thinking."
Long-term implications
While the cases of Tunisia and Egypt demonstrate why leaders should monitor additional key metrics about a country -- the governments of both countries were forced from power -- World Poll data also point to other long-term implications for countries. There's no statistically significant relationship between GDP and unemployment, for example. The unemployment rate of Guatemala is 4.1%, but more than half of its population lives below the poverty line. That's because just any job isn't enough -- good jobs create a nation's wealth.
The World Poll has identified a good job as one that is at least 30 hours per week for an employer. A country or city will not succeed in creating good jobs unless it's able to attract or foster that type of work. "Your work is a big part of your life," Clifton says. "And that's why it's so important for leaders to track not just the number of people who are out of work but the number of good jobs available. It is probably the most important metric a leader should monitor."

Romney Supports Automatic Hikes in Minimum Wage - seattlepi.com
Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney renewed his support Wednesday for automatic increases in the federal minimum wage to keep pace with inflation, a position sharply at odds with traditional GOP business allies, conservatives and the party's senior lawmakers.
"I haven't changed my thoughts on that," the former Massachusetts governor told reporters aboard his chartered campaign plane, referring to a stand he has held for a decade.
He did not say if he would ask Congress to approve the change if he wins the White House this fall.
Congress first enacted federal minimum wage legislation in 1938 and has raised it sporadically in the years since. The last increase, approved in 2007, took effect in three installments and reached $7.25 an hour for covered workers effective July 24, 2009.
It has never been allowed to rise automatically, as Romney envisions.
Romney's chief rival for the nomination, Newt Gingrich, criticized Romney for the stance, pointing to previous periods of hyperinflation and saying it would end up costing way too much money. "That would be a very dangerous idea," Gingrich said.
Romney also drew criticism from the anti-tax Club for Growth. "Indexing the minimum wage would be an absolute job killer," the group's president, Chris Chocola, said in a statement. He called the proposal "anti-growth."
Organized labor generally supports increases in the minimum wage, and Romney's position could give him cross-over appeal among blue-collar Democrats in a general election campaign.
Republicans have generally opposed attempts to raise it, although in 1996, the GOP-controlled Congress passed an election-year increase that included a package of tax cuts for business and a subminimum wage to apply to new, younger employees.
At the time lawmakers were considering the 2007 legislation, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce registered its disapproval.
"Any minimum wage increase will significantly affect the bottom line of the nation's small business owners," said Bruce Josten, the executive vice president for government affairs at the organization, which says it represents more than 3 million businesses and organizations across the country.
A spokesman for the organization declined to comment on Romney's statement.

Is constructing an Islamic Center with a mosque near Ground Zero a controversial point?
As an outsider and one interested in what goes on about me my views are my own. Freedom of worship is an article of faith for whoever places premium on good sense than obscurantist principles that religion always espouses. Christian churches, no matter what their persuasion or creed, shall not accept a church that support gay community. Take a recent bombing of a Sufi mosque in Pakistan where the bomber waited for the prayer time to cause maximum damage will be an eye opener for any one that imagines religion is as innocuous as what it preaches. Religion is the opium of the masses and it takes away all the nuances of good breeding, sweetness of civil society,- and Islam has from the time it became an established religion proved the implacable hostility of a believer for any dissent, and this religion is a heady potion for the Semitic race. Just like Hebrews this children of Ishamael cannot see beyond black and white on the point of faith. For a Moslem there is nothing in between. It may be ironic that as far as liberties of individuals under Moslems and Christian rulers in the past they have been far more tolerant to let Christians, Jews and other sect practice their religion in their own quarters as long as they did it quietly and without endangering the public order and peace. Only one go through the atrocities the so called crusaders perpetrated in order to deliver Jerusalem from the 'infidels'. Catholic Church has shown in comparison far more perfidious in this respect.
For the rise in fundamentalism and terror as a political tool Islam has only taken a leaf out of the policies of the West. An average Moslem on the street equates the west for Christianity and the manner the west has double dealt with the political fortunes the Middle east is now etched in his consciousness. Thus if some fundamentalist Imam in Malaysia says any Christian who utters the world 'Allah' has profaned it what is the result? Several churches are torched forthwith.
Now we see a good will ambassador sent by Cordoba Initiative making a pitch for harmony and religious good-will. This is all well and commendable.
Given the past examples one cannot induce goodwill by some fatuous gestures and speeches.
Coming to the controversy of Islamic Center near Ground Zero I remember the government of Yahoos allowing a bar near the kindergarten school. The one who got license to open the bar said he stood guarantee for the quality of spirits he sold over the counter. 'There shall be no loose, ungodly curses, four letter words around here,' he was certain. The drinks were meant to be consumed by grown ups and responsible citizens.
What he did not guarantee was the customers under the influence of liquor.
We have a situation similar where the right to practice religion is guaranteed.

New issue on its way!
Late last year, we published our first-ever labour issue, sharing stories of working people in an effort to create solidarity, community and dialogue. The issue looked at different kinds of work, how work is affected by other social identities like gender and status, and explored the challenges of finding ways of working with dignity, fairness and respect.
If wage labour is the heart of the capitalist machine, money is its lifeblood. As working people beat tirelessly on, they create surplus value that flows through the system, bringing just enough back to keep the system going.
It's only fitting, then, that this issue of Shameless explores the nature of that lifeblood, figuring out how money works, the forms it takes, and the ways in which it flows from the veins of a capitalist system in and out of our lives.
We have a complicated relationship with money because money is a complicated thing. A dollar is never just a dollar. It represents different things to different people and its value changes over time. And, thanks to credit, it turns out you don't even need to have a dollar to spend a dollar (though you might need to find two dollars to eventually pay one back). The one thing that is clear is that our forced dependency on money is central to survival under capitalism. Money is synonymous with access: to education and healthcare, food and shelter and to political power. The access that money grants and denies us sustains and reinforces inequities, class immobility and the broader system of capitalism and wage labour. Our economy is a mess, and isn't working for 99% of the population. It definitely isn't working for me.
There are a lot of ways to begin dismantling a system and building a new one, but while we take to the streets, create new co-operative structures or produce our own, totally radical independent media (hello, Shameless!), we also need to find ways of surviving. That means taking control of our money so it can stop controlling us.
And that brings us to this issue. In it, we give you some of the tools you need to manage your dough (p. 18), do what you love (p. 12) and live on a budget (p. 33). We challenge consumerism (p. 28), fight the fitness industrial complex (p. 17) and eat well on the cheap (p. 38). And, just so you know you're getting your money's worth, we've thrown in a pull-out poster and visual guide to making it as an artist (p. 26). We hope that with the tools, ideas and stories in Shameless, you can make ends meet so that you can focus on building a happier life and a healthier system.
Yours shamelessly, sheila email@example.com

Tomio Geron of Forbes has a terrific new piece about AirBnB, and its many cousins in the emerging market for peer-to-peer sharing. Cars, homes, pricey electronics, and even errands can now all be farmed out on the web, with the electronic intermediary taking a small cut.
This is potentially revolutionary--though like many revolutions, it would mostly be taking us back to the future. In the 19th century, and well into the 20th, it was common for people to rent out rooms in their homes (often with services like meals attached), and nearly as normal for owners of buggies or wagons to hire them out on an occasional basis. In a world before insurance and pensions, people frequently thought of any asset as a sort of insurance policy--if you were widowed, or couldn't work, rental would help you make up some of your lost income. By mid-century, this strategy was becoming less common: zoning regulations made it harder to rent out rooms, regulatory burdens raised the cost of becoming a landlord or a car rental service, and broadening liability law made this sort of thing a lot harder to insure.
These are challenges that peer-to-peer services still have yet to surmount: at the moment, they're mostly operating under the radar, but if they get successful, you can be sure that regulators will start trying to bring them into (expensive) compliance. But it's certainly possible that the web will lower search costs so much that AirBnB is economically viable even with hotel taxes and safety inspections.
Naturally, this raises the question: what then? If peer-to-peer sharing really takes off, we're talking about far-reaching effects on the economy. Consider retirement. For years, economic policymakers have been considering raising the retirement age in order to deal with the problems of a slowing economy and burgeoning entitlement costs. But what to do with those older workers? Often they're out of a job at 59, or 62, and once an older worker loses their job, they have a very difficult time finding another one. This sort of peer-to-peer piecework could help bridge the gap between peak earnings years and full retirement. We'd be bringing people back into the workforce, but on a part-time, flexible basis that allows people to work with any physical limitations they might have as a result of aging.
Of course, there are changes that won't feel quite so unambiguously good. America has a vast overcapacity of things like bedrooms, cars, and conference rooms, all of them idle most of the time. Switching to a either a centralized sharing model (like Zipcar) or a peer-to-peer model like AirBnB, has the potential to radically decrease the need for empty cars outside empty rooms, empty chairs at empty tables.
But this won't be good for the people who build all that stuff. Over the long run, of course, it's great to be able to do more with less stuff. But in the short run, the disruptions can be severe. The Luddite artisanal textile workers who smashed mechanical textile looms were not wrong about what those looms meant for their livelihood: many of them probably never did recover from the switch to cheaper labor. America already has more unemployment than we want. A rapid decline in the need for cars, construction, and hotel labor would exacerbate that problem in the short term, even if it made us richer in the long-term.
Other secondary effects will be more subtle. On the one hand, a more human, less corporate relationship with the people we rent from (note that this has minuses as well as plusses, as anyone who has ever bought from a friend can attest). On the other hand, I'd expect it to encourage larger, more anonymous agglomerations of people, since peer-to-peer sharing of things like cars contains a big bonus for density. Peer to peer sharing could create something like a tax on low-density housing: you have to have your own car, and your own tools, and you can't rent your house out while you're on vacation. There's a good chance this would translate into igher prices for urban housing, or lower prices for rural homes.
Then, of course, there are the things that we can't envision--did anyone imagine, when penicillin was invented, that the sexual revolution would be one of its side effects? But I think it's safe to say that unless the regulatory state kills this off, those changes, whatever they are, will be large.

Published June 19, 2014
Starting this spring, you won't need to BYOB—bring your own bicycle, that is—to UB. The Office of Sustainability has been working with the Office of Parking and Transportation Services, Buffalo BikeShare and a New York-based company to launch a beta test of an innovative new bicycle-sharing program.
BikeShare at UB harnesses GPS technology, allowing users to track and rent a bicycle with the convenience of a mobile device or computer during the beta test phase. Bicycles also can be rented from the keypad interface on the bicycle.
The idea is to give people a healthy, green option for short trips around campus, with the goal of promoting better health and reducing the amount of vehicular traffic, especially for intra-campus jaunts.
UB is the first university in the country to work with this new GPS technology to launch a bicycle-sharing program.
"While our new bike-sharing program blends technology and sustainability in an innovative and pioneering way for higher education, it also demonstrates how the university can partner and integrate with our broader community, as well as leverage our student and faculty research to create solutions that move us toward a sustainable future," says Ryan McPherson, UB's chief sustainability officer.
An undergraduate planning studio helped develop an early "Radial Bikes" plan, demonstrating the need for a new and innovative bicycle-sharing program for the city and the university.
"We are thrilled to launch BikeShare at UB. This healthy and green initiative adds to the array of transit alternatives on campus," adds Maria Wallace, UB's director of parking and transportation services. "There has been tremendous growth in bicycling, evident by the number of bicycles seen throughout campus."
Using the Buffalo BikeShare site, a user can locate and reserve the nearest bicycle, and then has 15 minutes to get to and unlock the bike by typing in the PIN code provided. Once the bike is unlocked, the rider places the U-lock in the holster on the bike and has free use for the first hour. Each subsequent hour costs $3, with a maximum reservation of 24 hours. In order to use BikeShare, faculty, staff and students must pay an annual fee of $30, payable only by credit card. For the beta phase, the fee is reduced to a flat fee of $10.
To return the bike and complete the transaction, the user simply returns it to one of the BikeShare bicycle racks on the North or South campus and locks it up using the lock provided. Other users can then see that the bicycle is available and can go to that particular hub and rent it. Riders can lock the bike up when they reach their destination and unlock it using the same PIN code. The code will reset when the transaction is completed.
Riders who stray out of the designated area or return the bike to a BikeShare rack that's out of the coverage zone are subject to penalty fees.
Jim Simon, the sustainability engagement coordinator at UB, offers this example of the program's usefulness: "Say you have to go from the Natural Sciences Complex to Alumni Arena. You can go online to see that there's a bike at Talbert, you type in a pin code on the bike, it unlocks and you're on your way."
On the South Campus, users could check out a bicycle at a hub at Hayes Hall and zip over to Harriman Hall for a bite to eat.
A sister program is being tested on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus under the direction of Buffalo BikeShare. "The staff there really makes a conscious effort to support innovation. The campus has quickly become a laboratory for transportation models in a way that really has no equal, at least in the U.S.," says Buffalo BikeShare's Creighton Randall.
The bicycles are standard cruiser bikes with an internal drive shaft—to decrease the number of times that a rider's pants or socks get grease on them—with a metal basket on the front. If, during your trip, you get a flat tire or experience some type of mechanical issue, simply press the "Repair" button on the keypad. That will alert the BikeShare maintenance staff that there's a problem with the bike and a staff member will come fix it.
Each bike comes equipped with a solar-powered, GPS-enabled keypad system affixed at the back. Aside from allowing users to find out where the nearest available bicycle is, the GPS system on each bike will be of great use to UB's parking and transportation office. "These GPS-enabled bikes will provide rich data for future decisions on routing, racks and hubs as we continue to build upon our bicycling network," says Wallace.
That network already has drawn national praise. In fall 2012, the League of American Bicyclists designated UB a "Bicycle Friendly University" at the bronze level for its strong commitment to cycling.

A new dating app called Tinder was recently brought to our attention.
A "normal" person at Business Insider told us about it, and said all of her roommates and college-age friends use it. A few have found dates on it.
(By "normal," we mean someone who isn't gadget obsessed, and isn't an early tech adopter.)
What is Tinder?
It's more or less a socially acceptable, mobile version of Hot or Not. If you saw The Social Network, you might remember "Face Mash," the product Mark Zuckerberg made before Facebook. It takes people's photos and lets other people quickly say if they find the person attractive or unattractive.
But Tinder is Hot or Not or Face Mash with a purpose. Instead of rating people for cruel amusement, it helps you find single people you're attracted to in your area.
If you're attracted to them, and they're attracted to you, both parties are notified. If one of you is attracted and the other isn't, neither is notified. And of course, if both parties don't' find each other attractive, they both go on their ways, never knowing what the other thinks.
Tinder was founded by four entrepreneurs Sean Rad, Justin Mateen, Jonathan Badeen, and Christopher Gulczynski, and it is backed by IAC, the parent company of Match and OKCupid. It recently launched on a few college campuses and it seems to be making the rounds. According to TechCrunch, more than 35 million profiles have been rated on the app and one million matches have been made in less than two months.
We wanted to know what all the fuss was about. So we downloaded it and gave it a try. Here goes.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi lawmakers have squabbled for at least 15 years about whether to require voters to show a driver's license or other form of identification at the polls. They haven't enacted a voter ID law, but the issue never disappears and the passion surrounding it never seems to diminish.
Now, it's moving to the Nov. 8 state ballot through the initiative process. Voters in the general election will decide whether to put a voter ID requirement in the Mississippi constitution.
If the initiative passes, it will be examined by the U.S. Justice Department, which could block a voter ID requirement or let it take effect. Because of Mississippi's history of racial discrimination, the Justice Department reviews any proposed election changes to ensure that they don't adversely affect minority voters.
Supporters say requiring voters to show ID will help ensure the integrity of elections by preventing people from masquerading as others to cast ballots.
Opponents say voter ID amounts to a form of a poll tax, and that it could intimidate older black voters who were once prevented from exercising their constitutional rights under Jim Crow.
The two candidates for governor have different views about the voter ID initiative.
Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant of Brandon says he'll vote for it. But as the Senate's presiding officer, he missed a chance to push voter ID into law in 2009.
Democratic Mayor Johnny DuPree of Hattiesburg says he'll vote against the initiative. But he says if he's governor and voter ID is part of the constitution, he will uphold it just as he would any other part of the constitution.
"One writer said that it is a solution looking for a problem. And I believe that's exactly what it is," DuPree said during a July 21 gubernatorial debate televised from the Mississippi College School of Law.
DuPree said voter apathy is a problem, and officials should step up efforts to educate voters.
"If you want to stop voter fraud, it's not somebody having ID. It's from people buying votes," said DuPree, a former Forrest County supervisor. "It's from absentee ballots. That's where the fraud is. It's not from somebody showing their ID."
Bryant said during the televised debate that he believes voter ID will help ensure votes can't be stolen.
"Year after year, the Senate passed a clean voter ID bill that said you needed a government ID that was issued to you by the state of Mississippi," Bryant said. "See, we call them driver's licenses. But if you didn't have a driver's license, why, you could go to the Department of Public Safety and get an ID at no cost so everyone would have that."
Voter ID had a chance to become law in 2009, but a group of Senate Republicans killed it. They were among Bryant's allies, and Bryant said at the time that he supported their actions.
Republican Sen. Merle Flowers of Southaven led the effort to kill the bill, saying he objected to provisions that would allow people to start voting 15 days before an election. Current law says Mississippians may vote early by absentee ballot, but only for specific reasons such as knowing that they'll be out of town on election day.
Those who killed the bill took a drubbing on conservative talk radio, and there was an unsuccessful attempt to revive it a few days later.
One of Flowers' allies in killing the bill, Republican Sen. Joey Fillingane of Sumrall, started the voter ID initiative. Bryant said it's a good idea to let voters have a say. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the issue that strongly appeals to conservatives could help increase their turnout on the day Bryant's on the ballot for governor.

|BioPrime Array CGH Genomic Labeling System from Invitrogen
|BioPrime Array CGH Genomic Labeling System
| The BioPrime Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems are a high-performance labeling kits that enable reproducible labeling of genomic DNA samples for array-based Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH). Available in both indirect and direct labeling formats, the BioPrime Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems provide a flexible solution to your genomic labeling needs.
Using the BioPrime Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems, you can expect:
High yields of fluorescently labeled genomic DNA • signal-to-noise ratios • detection of gene copy number variations.
These systems combine a highly concentrated exo-Klenow fragment of DNA polymerase I and random primers to effectively label genomic targets for sensitive genomic profiling experiments. Exo-Klenow is a mutant of the large fragment of the DNA polymerase I holoenzyme that has both 5 and 35 exonuclease activity removed. The lack of exonuclease activity makes this enzyme ideal for use in random priming protocols, enabling robust yields and efficient incorporation of Alexa Fluor AHA fluorescent nucleotides. In the BioPrime Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems, random octamers anneal to template DNA, providing priming sites for the exo- Klenow enzyme. Alexa Fluor AHA modified nucleotides (direct labeling) or amino-allyl modified nucleotides (indirect labeling) are incorporated as the polymerase extends from the priming sites. The labeled samples are then purified to remove contaminants prior to denaturing and hybridization to a microarray (direct labeling systems) or coupled to the Alexa Fluor NHS ester (indirect labeling systems) prior to hybridization.
The BioPrime Core Module is found in all standard BioPrime and BioPrime Plus Systems and Modules. It contains exo-Klenow fragment (40 U/ l), 2.5X random primer solution (octamers), control DNA (Salmon Sperm), stop buffer, and distilled water. Store at -20C. The BioPrime Plus Systems and Modules contain the Alexa Fluor modified dNTP mixes or amine modified dNTP mixes and the Alexa Fluor NHS Esters. Store at -20C. The standard BioPrime and BioPrime Plus Array CGH Genomic Labeling Systems also contain purification columns and purification buffers.

The City of Baxley is soliciting proposals for the disassembly and removal of what is known at the City Hangar (hereinafter the "Hangar") located behind the FBO/Terminal building at the Baxley Municipal Airport. The Hangar is a Bax-Steel building, approximately 60' x 51', 15' eave height. The successful bidder will completely disassemble the Hangar, remove it from the Airport premises, and conduct all clean-up operations, within forty-five (45) days after acceptance of bid and issuance of notice to proceed. The concrete pad will remain in place. If additional information is desired, contact Jeff Baxley, City Manager.
The successful bidder will furnish all labor, tools, equipment and other apparatus necessary to perform and complete to City's satisfaction the disassembly and removal of the Hangar. All debris cause by such disassembly and removal shall be removed from the Airport property and disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local laws and regulations.
The successful bidder will be liable for all risk of loss; and shall maintain liability (minimum $1,000,000 coverage) and workers compensation insurance.
Other requirements are available at the office of the City Manager. The successful bidder and City will enter into a contract acceptable to the City.
Bidders should propose a price they will either: (a) pay the City for the Hangar, or (b) charge the City to disassemble, remove and dispose of the Hangar.
The City anticipates the value of the Hangar to be more than the tear-down and removal costs, and thus expects a payment to the City, in advance. Bids may be submitted personally or by mail, fax or email.
Bids will be opened and announced at 2:00 p.m. on August 4, 2011 at Baxley City Hall. The City will accept, in its sole discretion, the best responsible and responsive bid from the bidder City believes most capable of completing the project to the City's specifications. City shall have the right to reject any and all bids for any reason, to waive informalities, and shall have the right to negotiate with the lowest responsible bidder, in its sole determination.

Most New Yorkers think Houston Street ends at 6th Ave. Hey, I lived on Houston St. at one point and never ventured past 6th Ave. Now, I have a reason to make the trek into unknown territory and the reason is-you guessed it-alcohol. (Life Motto: Will travel for booze). And Houston Hall is said reason.
A recently opened beer hall between the West Village and South Village (apparently what that part of town calls itself), the decision to travel the distance was made by my group of friends to walk off that morning's brunch bellies. Walking up to the establishment, I was immediately captivated by the exterior of vintage awnings and shutters against a brick wall leading to the arched entranceway. I felt like I had stumbled upon a hidden German village. Once inside, I felt giddy. The hall was spacious with high ceilings, thick wooden rafters, long communal tables and a laid back vibe (think Brooklyn mixed with preppy). It was a packed house, and it was only 4pm in the afternoon. I was in love. I had found the winter fill for my summer beer garden void.
To top all that (besides the air raid sign in the women's restroom-see above),the beer was cheap. Beers range in size from small (starting at $5) to medium (around $8 & pictured above) to $17 for the giant jugs (a la Hofbrauhaus in Germany). There are 10 draft beers on tap all especially brewed for HH in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. To soak up all the brews you will consume, food is also offered. I didn't sample any this visit but not to fret-this only gives me an excuse to go back. Albert Einstein once said, "I love to travel, but hate to arrive." I'll agree with Albert on the first statement, but when it comes to this discovery, I have to politely disagree on the second.
The Details:
Houston Hall
222 West Houston St. (between 6th Ave. & Varick St.)

Joseph A. Labadie Collection
Hatcher Graduate Library
913 S. University Avenue
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1190
A collection documenting the history of social protest movements and marginalized political communities from the 19th century to the present
In the 1930s, the U-M Library's Joseph A. Labadie Collection — the oldest publicly accessible archive of its kind in America — was called "probably the most complete record of the social unrest of our times that has ever been assembled."
Since then, the collection has only grown, expanding from its original focus on anarchism to also encompass atheism and free thought, anti-colonialist movements, anti-war and pacifist movements, civil liberties and civil rights, labor and workers' rights, LGBTQ movements, prisons and prisoners, New Left, Spanish Civil War, youth and student protest, and many more.
The collection is named for Detroit labor activist and anarchist Joseph Antoine Labadie (1850-1933), who in 1911 donated the books, pamphlets, newspapers, magazines, manuscripts, and memorabilia he had assembled over the years.
Today, the Labadie Collection is the most widely used of all of the library's special collections and serves as a unique and important resource for students and researchers at U-M and around the world.
"This is a collection that documents history from below," says curator Julie Herrada. "We are preserving, and making available to the public, the activities of under-represented groups, people whose ideas are considered marginal or dangerous."
Labadie Collection materials have been used in numerous publications and exhibits. A single poster from the collection, for example, was recently sought out for inclusion in an art book, as well as displayed in exhibits at Cornell University and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia.
And new materials are being added to the collection all the time. "Not long ago we received a large donation of transgender rights research materials that greatly add to our existing strength in LGBT topics," she adds.
Along with physical access to rare and unique archival materials, a host of materials are available digitally including scans of anarchist pamphlets, historic photographs,more than 1,000 political "pin-back" buttons and over 2,000 posters on topics we cover.
Because of the collection's breadth and depth, several finding aids and guides to its holdings are available, including to many of the uncataloged manuscripts and letters.
"Melba Joyce Boyd, a well-known author and Wayne State University professor, says that an activist is a person with a certain level of consciousness who then incorporates that consciousness into what they do. So, I see my work as a curator as a kind of activism," says Herrada, who has overseen the collection since 2000.

While Minecraft developers Mojang have put a legal dispute with Elder Scrolls publishers Bethesda (well, Bethesda's parent company Zenimax) to bed, the settlement has come at a slight cost: there won't ever be another Mojang game called Scrolls.
The terms of the settlement mean that the trademark Mojang has for the game won't cover any sequels, so if the upcoming title is a hit, its sequels will need another name entirely.
May I suggest Manuscripts. Or Parchments.
Scrolls is an RPG that's borrowing heavily from card and board games, and will hopefully be out sometime later this year on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Phonics – 100% successful ? I'm sorry but that's simply not true.
I spotted this article on the BBC News website today : BBC News – Teachers' unions urge rethink of phonics checks –
Have a listen to the interview half way down the page. It's an extract from the Radio 4 Today programme (18th June 2012), and features John Humphries interviewing both Mary Bousted of the Association of Teachers & Lecturers, and Greg Wallace – an executive Headteacher of several prinary schools in Hackney, and staunch advocate of a phonics approach to teaching reading.
It really does make astonishing reading. It's astounding when Greg claims that he does not know of the other approaches to teaching reading. How did he get through his teacher training then ? It was a compulsory section of my own Bachelor of Education degree.
It's incredibly rude of him when he suggests that Mary is confused in her understanding of approaches to teaching reading. (Nothwithstanding her Ph. D. in the subject)
The part that is really unbelievably stupid though is when he claims that using a phonics approach to teaching reading is the only approach that is 100% successful.
He argues that the word "round" can only be accurately decoded by knowing the sounds "r"-"ou"-"n" and "d" which makes phonics 100% successful.
Interesting that.
I wonder if that's the approach my son took at the age of 2 when out of the blue he pointed at the name on the back of a Vauxhall car and said "Carlton" ?
Or do you think he'd realised it was the same "picture" as on his Tot's TV video ? – I know what my money's on.
Have you ever wondered why "Manslaughter" means something very different, and sounds very different, from "Man's laughter" ?
You have ? Well that's because you don't rely on phonics to decode words.
Anyone out there that lives in Milton Keynes ?
Specifically does anyone come from the Milton Keynes districts of Loughton, Woughton, or Broughton ?
Do you know how to pronounce those place names ?
You do ? Well that's because you're not relying on phonics to decode the words.
You don't ? Well that's because phonics is not 100% effective.
In fact there is only one 100% effective way to learn to read – and that is to memorise every word. Hardly a sensible way forward.
Most teachers know that we need a variety of approaches, and that some approaches are more suited to some children than some others.
T'was ever thus, and T'will ever be.
The districts in MK by the way are Loughton – with the -ought- as in out. Woughton – with the -wough- as in Woof ! and Broughton – with the -ought- as in court. If you don't know the town you can only guess at the words.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. Martin Buber
The New Year has caught me unaware. We had several gigs booked through the holidays and I got a little overwhelmed. Also I thought for sure Mike & I were going to lose everything and I was feeling very scared. Along with all of that I am just physically worn down because I have been fighting a wicked cold off and on for about a month now and it is making me tired and unable to sleep soundly at night. I am really ok. We all go through these wicked spells in our life when it seems that life itself has handed you more than you can possibly take. Fortunately I am a strong woman and I can get through it. Enough about that. I have a desk full of work, gigs scheduled for the band and the acoustic project all the way through to August and Mike & I are ok for now. He got a reprieve from Unemployment and he will hopefully secure a job that he interviewed for.

Being an athlete, mother, wife and a working individual I am aware that time limitations can be a struggle and a source of frustration for most typical age group athletes. Therefore I place a lot of importance not only in gathering objective data, such as lactate threshold, from the athlete but also subjective information such as routines and stressors that an athlete faces on a daily basis.
Finding a healthy balance to fulfill the needs of "athletic" and "non-athletic" self is a form of art that requires attention to detail and commitment to perfection, both of which I am proud to offer.

Be aware of purchasing Elites online, as there are NO authorized ways of doing so. Amazon or anyone selling on Amazon are not authorized to sell Elites. Buyer beware, trying to buy online you get no warranty, and the knowledge of helping a real dealer have a more difficult time doing business. This also includes EBay!
When I say "online" I mean adding "one" to a shopping cart then entering your CC info. There are however authorized dealers who are online, that will ship but you must call them first.

|No surround sound when playing MP3's through the PS3/Linkstation. Only the front and center speakers are used when listening to music. This happens when listening to FM radio as well.
|Watching .MKV movies from my laptop, using its HDMI out, will also not produce surround
|Some TV channels, even HD ones, will do this to.
|I have tried the various surround options. Sometimes I cannot even change them for some reason, it mostly just shows as STEREO and only two speaker icons(the fronts) are shown.
|I get surround when playing games or watching movies. Shouldn't I be able to expect surround sound for all sources?
|Watching a bluray on PS3 doesn't use TrueHD sound codec. It wants to use PCM. Does this matter? Should I be worried about this? When/how do any of these codecs (trueHD, DTS, DTSMaster, etc) get used?
|My surround speakers, barely produce any sound for most inputs. Should they be louder?
Hi CHASLS2,
You don't have a Best Buy or a Stereo shop where you live (and I thought Rochester was Bad)
No Worries Mate..Just buy a VSX 1121, except for the Elite's two 12volt triggers, Some Cosmetics and Warranty, it is the same beast!
If you can find an Elite that's fine but if you can't don't kill yourself!
You will experience all that the Elite VSX 52 has to offer in the VSX 1121.
Plus the VSX 1121 is widely available.
Hope this helps.....
Bud B
Slow your roll slick...... $600 is a lot of money to be saving, but people like you are the ones who make it harder for the real guys to make a living. If you look hard enough you'll find a real dealer who will ship it to you, and possibly get a good deal. Buying from unauthorized sellers only hurts the business in the long run.
|I am happy with my 1120k, just want to go with a 35 or SC37.

5 Great Cleansers That Put Acne in Its Place
Oh, acne, you're the bane of my existence, but thanks to ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and even sulfur, there's actually hope for zit-zapping and pimple prevention. Over the past week or so, I've been doing some research on some of the best cleansers for different skin types. You may have caught some suggestions for products that help mattify oily skin, along with those that help hydrate dry skin, and now, continuing on with this series, here are five to help provide relief for the acne-prone.

To show off this new-found power, Mozilla is highlighting BananaBread today, a 3D web game developed by the Mozilla Developer Network that's powered exclusively by the trinity of HTML5, WebGL, and JavaScript (the game itself, by the way, isn't actually new but was release last August).
As expected, Firefox 18 also brings support for high-resolution Retina displays to the stable channel. The browser now also uses a new algorithm for scaling images, which should result in better image quality on quite a few sites that depend on in-browser scaling.
Also new in Firefox 18 is preliminary support for the new in-browser WebRTC communications framework for real-time video and audio chats.
One feature that didn't make it into this release, by the way, is Mozilla's new built-in PDF reader. While the organization has been working on this for a while, it will only make it into the beta release that's expected to arrive on Thursday.
New In Firefox For Android: IonMonkey, Phishing Protection And Google New Search Widget Integration
As usual, Firefox for Android is also getting an update today. Just like the desktop version, Firefox for Android now uses IonMonkey. The mobile browser now features opt-in search suggestions in the Awesome Bar. These, Mozilla writes, "are conducted over a secure connection to protect your user data."
The mobile browser now also includes new anti-phising and anti-malware features that warn users when they encounter a malicious website.
Another interesting new feature of Firefox for Android is its integration with the Google Now search widget.
