This "eclectic group of pluckers"—eight virtuosos of classical guitar, including ensemble founders David Tanenbaum and Peppino D'Agostino—supplements nylon strings with steel, combines electric basses with seventeenth-century theorbos, and throws in an oud for good measure. Tonight they join forces to tackle a wide variety of music, including Steve Reich's seminal Electric Counterpoint, as well as works by Sérgio Assad, Terry Riley, and Astor Piazzolla. Programmed by Sarah Cahill. February 1, 7:30 p.m. Doors open 5 p.m.

'Silence,' a new show at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive explores the aesthetic, emotional, psychological and spiritual terrain that underlies those expectations and assumptions. Ranging from hushed Surrealist canvases by Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte to experimental silent films to a Robert Morris minimalist wooden box that murmurs the recorded sounds of its own creation,
Andy Warhol. Big Electric Chair. 1967. Artists Rights Society.
"Silence" spans a century's worth of work that challenges, cajoles and charms visitors into re-examining the complex sonic space and the increasingly rare silence they share in a hyper-wired and amplified world. First mounted by Houston's Menil Collection and supplemented by new works here, the show opened in Berkeley on Wednesday.

Dorothea Tanning at Wendi Norris: Over 30 of her paintings, sculptures and drawings are now on view in "Unknown but Knowable States," running through March 2 at Gallery Wendi Norris (161 Jessie St., SF).
Married for 30 years to the Surrealist painter and sculptor Max Ernst, Ms. Tanning became well known in her own right for her vivid renderings of dream imagery. Much later in life, after she had reached 80, she gained a different kind of attention when she began to concentrate on writing, producing a novel, an autobiography and poems that appeared in The New Yorker, The Yale Review and The Paris Review.
"Unknown but Knowable States" features rare and ground-breaking paintings, drawings, and sculptures by Dorothea Tanning. For the first time, the gallery will be dedicating the entire 5,000 square foot space to the work of one artist, paying tribute to Tanning's fearless vision and prolific body of work. Focusing on works created between 1960 and 1979, during which the Surrealist artist and writer lived, worked, and exhibited in Paris, the show will include over thirty pieces, and will be documented in a 80-page catalogue featuring an essay by Catriona McAra.
Oakland Museum of California: On view are "Suburban Dreams" an exhibition of 22 competently crafted, large-scale color photographs by Beth Yarnelle Edwards now at the Oakland Museum.
Taken between 1997 and 2006, they depict a small group of various Silicon Valley residents before the economy tanked and destroyed a huge chunk of the middle class. Unfortunately, the portrayal of banal conformity results in an exhibit of equally banal images.
Fortunately, this rather boring exhibit was redeemed by the other show at the Oakland Museum: "Playing with Fire: Artists of the California Studio Glass Movement."
John Lewis, Copper Patina Bench (@OMC/the artist)
Featuring 32 works on view representing 22 artists in the Gallery of California Art, the exhibition Playing with Fire: Artists of the California Studio Glass Movement celebrates California's involvement in, and impact on, this movement that was brought to the Golden State by Marvin Lipofsky, who started the glass programs at California College of Arts and Crafts and UC Berkeley, and by Robert Fritz, who established the program at San Jose State University.

I had an exchange with someone that had plagiarized some work recently. That's nothing new, and I run into plagiarism constantly as an editor/publisher of information on the Internet.
As a quick aside, if you aren't sure what plagiarism is, go to plagiarism.org, read Wikipedia, or ask someone. The short answer is, when you write anything, don't cut/paste from other sources.
This person had copied some sections of a few posts for part of an article they had written. Their work was of good quality, and the plagiarized sections were fairly small. I was actually surprised that these particular sections were copied since they could have easily rewritten them.
In this case, I contacted the person, rejecting the article and chastising them for copying someone else's work. We actually when back and forth a couple times as this person argued that they had cited the source and their experience in college had been some portions of other work could be used in a thesis. I agreed that portions of work can be used, but they must be cited properly. Quoted or set aside, and footnoted to make it clear that the words used are not the author's words. Merely adding a note to your article that lists a source is not enough.
The other day I got a note from the author apologizing again, and agreeing that he had misunderstood was plagiarism was, agreeing not to do it again, and asking not to be banned from SQLServerCentral. My policy has been to blanket-ly no longer accept work from someone that plagiarizes since I don't have enough resources to do extensive checking. However, I don't often get much of an apology or an appeal of the ban.
I believe in second chances. I don't think that a mistake, even a voluntary one, should condemn someone forever. We all act poorly at times, we all do things we regret later, or might do differently a second time, and we certainly all make mistakes.
I've been reconsidering my ban, and while I think it still makes some sense, I do think that I need to give people second chances at times. I'm unsure of how best to do this, and how best to involve the community. My initial thought is to create some walled area where we post content that needs a plagiarism check. However I'm not sure how to best do this and respect the privacy and reputation of people. If they plagiarize, I'm not against disclosing that, but if the person is doing a good job, I don't want to bias people against their work.
I wish it were simple, but to me, it's not. I am open to suggestions.

Traditional brands have a new lease on life
May 2, 2018
May 2, 2018
Established brands, which became successful by delivering mass products through physical channels, are now struggling. New, innovative competitors are passing them by with unique customer propositions, a keen understanding of customer preferences and expectations, and agile operating models.
To reclaim growth, traditional brands must first reclaim their customers. That means making every customer experience meaningful, orchestrating customer-centric ecosystems, and creating a marketing capability that is as dynamic and "alive" as the customers they want to reach.
That's a tall order. Most marketing teams still exist in organizational silos, rely heavily on their agency partners, remain highly product-focused, and view the world as static. Each day marketers cling to these legacy approaches is a day their growth erodes.
It's time for something different. We call it Living Marketing.
Living Marketing paves the way to growth by ensuring that brands, products and services are hyper-relevant to every customer and are part of a unique, personalized experience.
Living Marketing is dynamic, happens in real-time, and differs for each brand. It doesn't just mean a new way of Marketing by Marketing for Marketing, but a company-wide shift in mindset, behaviors and priorities.
To bring this new vision for marketing to life, CMOs and other leaders in the organization must work together, addressing the myriad issues that make or break customer-centered growth.
To regain their growth momentum, CMOs and marketing executives—as well as other business leaders—need to do three things:
With growth among established brands all but standing still, CMOs need to re-imagine how they can build customer relationships and engagement. Winners will realize that their journey back to their customers and back to growth will be based on the experiences and capabilities that only Living Marketing can deliver.

Five on Friday (June 16, 2017)
So be careful how you live. Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise.
Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
Don't act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do.
Ephesians 5:15-17
1. This week felt officially like the first week of summer since this is the first week that we were all 4 home (no camp, no in-service, etc.). We're keeping our screen restrictions the same as during the school year - Netflix and video games for the kids only allowed on Friday/Saturday/Sunday. This is much easier to handle when the kids are in school all day. It's a CHALLENGE during the summer, but the truth is that their attitudes are so much better (especially the boy) when screens are not running their life. We do allow family TV in the evenings. Here's what we've been watching this summer: America's Got Talent, The Great British Baking Show, any sporting event (now that our Nashville Preds lost the Stanley Cup and the Cavs lost the NBA Finals, we're in mourning), American Ninja Warriors, and World of Dance.
Brian and I recently watched The Keepers (difficult-to-watch documentary about corruption in the Catholic church). We've moved on to the Prison Break reboot - 2 episodes in and it's good. Very reminiscent of the original, and I hear it really picks up in intensity about halfway through.
2. Kids had dentist and eye appointments this week. Rory got new glasses (the poor girl is so blind) and Camden is getting braces. Why did no one tell me how expensive teenagers are?
3. Speaking of bills, does anyone remember the Harry Potter book/movie where the owls are delivering messages to Harry. It starts with one at a time and by the end, they are piling up in mountains in the house? That's how our house looks as the bills from Vanderbilt roll in. There are so many it's almost comical. Almost. The unexpected $1,000 van repair bill this week was also almost comical. Almost.
4. Rory spent Thursday on a farm with friends, and I'm not sure she could have had more fun. Because she'll be at camp next week, she was also able to have two tumbling classes this week instead of one. She had a substitute teacher at the second class and the substitute decided she (the teacher) was bored and would try to teach Rory how to do a back hand spring instead of basics like a simple cartwheel. As you can imagine, there wasn't any real progress on a back hand spring, but Rory sure felt like big stuff.
Rory has also decided she wants to run cross country in middle school. This means she has to be able to run a mile and a half without stopping when school begins. The agreement is that if she puts in the work to prepare, we'll do our best to work out logistics for her to participate.
5. Camden is taking a few extra guitar lessons this summer from our new music pastor. They are focusing on singing and leading worship - the goal is for Camden to begin leading worship in Kids Church in the fall. Because Camden is a perfectionist, he is scared out of mind about this. Nerves make him very cranky. This kid has a natural inclination for music but has to overcome his need for perfection in order to put that talent to use.
Our weekend plans include bowling, a sleepover with Addison, hosting friends for dinner (they're moving to Uganda for a year so it's a goodbye dinner), and prepping Brian, Camden, and Rory for camp.
I'm planning to add a few posts that include my Instagram pictures so that my memories/pictures will all be in one spot when I print for the year so you might see those posts populating your feed over the next several days. If you want to follow along on Instagram, my name is lifeasalewis.

Michigan State may be off to a 2-0 start but the defense has twice as many touchdowns scored (four) as the offense (two). Head coach Mark Dantonio is looking to find some answers to spark the Spartans offense. This week, with Michigan State taking on Youngstown State, part of the search will focus on finding a quarterback that can be effective. Freshman Damion Terry, a four-star dual threat quarterback recruit according to Rivals, is apparently in the mix.
According to a report by MLive.com, Terry was taking reps with skill position players on Sunday and Dantonio has said the job of starting quarterback will have to be earned as we enter the third week of the college football season.
"The bottom line is making plays and having confidence in yourself, and stepping up to the plate and seizing the moment," Dantonio said according to MLive.com. "We normally don't practice on a Sunday, but we have our skill guys out there right now. As a matter of fact, I came in to take this call."
Michigan State ranks 12th in the Big Ten in passing offense and is one of two teams in the conference yet to throw a touchdown pass (Purdue). Only Minnesota has a worst pass completion percentage in the Big Ten as well, with the Spartans combining to complete just 47.5 percent of their attempts through two games against Western Michigan and South Florida. Andrew Maxwell has been starting for the Spartans and has completed 15-of-30 attempts for 114 yards. Sophomore Connor Cook and freshman Tyler O'Connor each have played as well but it is clear Dantonio is looking for somebody, perhaps anybody at this point, to separate themselves from the rest of the unit.

Discrimination on the basis of age has long been alleged in software development, but we can here see that it is, in fact, real. Salaries for programmers peak in their mid-30s to mid-40s, after which they hold steady before declining. Managers have it slightly better as their salaries continue to climb until 55, after which they also decline.

American Terrorists
Was doing some research for Internet Antropologist and found this very informative article.
We (and that's a collective "we" including many different people and many different websites) have been saying this for a LONG time. The violent postings of terrorist wannabe's on the internet need to be taken seriously. That's why we're so adamant that YouTube, Facebook and other social networks abide by their posted TOS. The less outlets the terrorists have to congregate in, the more likely than can be caught.
…On July 10, Chesser was barred from boarding a flight New York to Uganda. According to an affidavit filed in the case, he admitted his intention was to travel to Somalia to fight for al-Shabaab. Chesser also said he brought his infant son with him as a cover "to avoid detection of his intention to join Al-Shabaab in Somalia," the affidavit said.
Brachman calls would-be terrorists who graduated from posting jihadist rhetoric on the Internet to attempting to carry it out "jihobbyists."
It is a fallacy to believe that such people don't constitute a security threat. "There are so many [jihadists] that have a big online footprint before they go violent," Brachman told the IPT.
For example, Faisal Shahzad, who pled guilty in the May Times Square plot, reportedly blogged on jihadist websites dating back to 2006. Hasan corresponded with Awlaki and other radicals via the Internet prior to the Fort Hood killings. Colleen LaRose, AKA "Jihad Jane," posted frequently in favor of jihad prior to her arrest on charges of providing material support to terrorism and plotting to kill a Swedish cartoonist for depicting the prophet Muhammad.
The trend of American jihadists moving from advocacy to armed violence is likely to accelerate. For years, jihadists had accepted the concept that some of them would engage in violence while others could help with online advocacy, Brachman said. But he senses that this outlook is shifting dramatically. The turning point was a December 30 suicide bombing in Khost, Afghanistan which killed seven CIA officials and a Jordanian official. The bomber was Humam al-Balawi, a double agent and a prolific jihadist blogger.
"That was a definitive moment for how jihobbyists thought of themselves," Brachman told the IPT. In the wake of Balawi's suicide attack, "the new mindset we've seen is that it's no longer acceptable just to support violent jihad online."
Jihad using the Internet and social media is now regarded "as a staging ground and not an end in itself," Brachman said.
Go read the entire thing – it's a who's who of American terrorists. And how they got there.

|Mr. N. B Bhandari being Sworn in as the Chief Minister for Second time
in 1985 by then Governor S. K Bhatnagar.
Mr. Nar Bahadur Bhandari was born on 5th October 1940 at Malbasey Village, Soreng in West Sikkim. Born into a peasant family of late Balaram Bhandari, and Late Chandra Maya Bhandari, Mr. N. B Bhandari was the youngest child. Amid poverty, he had his early education at Soreng and accomplished his High School from Namchi. After completing his high School he went to Government College Darjeeling to complete his Graduation. As a student he took keen interest in Students' and youths' welfare and engaged himself in various social and literary activities.
He joined Sikkim Government Service as a teacher at Soreng School and later taught at Chakhung School, Rongli Junior High School, Namchi Senior Secondary School and finally at West Point School, Gangtok. After the protest movement of 1973 (that curtailed the unlimited powers of the Royal House) Mr. Bhandari resigned from his service and joined politics. He along with a few like minded associates like late Durga Prasad Rajalim of Namchi then formed the United Independent Front and became its General Secretary. The main agenda of the party was to protect Sikkim from becoming an integral part of the Indian Union.
The United Independent Front Party of Mr. Bhandari contested the General Election of 1974 which was held on the basis of Universal Adult Franchise for the first time in the democratic history of Sikkim. His party was badly defeated in this election. The year 1975, brought a new era in the history of Sikkim. An independent Himalayan Kingdom ruled by an independent monarch became an integral part of Indian Union. A new Sikkim was born on 16th May 1975 converting the Subjects of Sikkim Chogyal into the citizens of India. Mr. Bhandari along with his associates greatly opposed the decision made by the Sikkim Assembly to amalgamate Sikkim into India. Even after the merger, he was opposing the decision made by the Sikkim Assembly to merge Sikkim. Under this alleged reason, he was arrested under Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) and was sent to Behrampur Jail by Kazi Lhendup Dorjee's Government. He spent one year at Behrampur Jail from 1976 to 1977 and after his release, he formed Sikkim Janata Parishad in October 1977.
The Sikkim Janata Parishad took part in the General Election of 1979 and won 16 seats out of 32. With the support of an independent Sangha (Monastic) MLA, Rev. Lachen Gomchen Rimpoche formed his first Government. In May 1984, his Government was dismissed allegedly on ground of corruption charges even having support of the majority in the Assembly. After the dismissal of his Government, Mr. Bhandari formed Sikkim Sangram Parishad and successfully fought the Lok Sabha Election of December 1984. In March 1985, his party contested the Assembly Election under his leadership and came out as victorious by winning 30 out of 32 seats. With this overwhelming victory he became the Chief Minister of Sikkim for the Second time. After becoming the Chief Minister, Mr. Bhandari resigned from his Seat in the Lok Sabha which later went to his wife Mrs. Dil Kumari Bhandari uncontested. His Sikkim Sangram Parishad Party returned to power again in the election of 1989 with a clean sweep. In May 1994, the Government headed by Mr. Nar Bahadur Bhandari lost a vote of confidence in the Sikkim Legislative Assembly which led to his resignation from the Government.
|Mr. Bhandari with the 32 MLAs of 1989 Election
This teacher turned politician was deeply interested in reading and writing. He has many publications to his credit that includes the very famous Hamro Pukar (Our Voice) (1963) which was the first complete Nepali literary journal edited by a natural Sikkimese. Further, Mr. Bhandari also edited Aaja Ko Sikkim (Today's Sikkim) a bi-weekly and a Nepali literary journal Archana (1973). He has also written Tuhuro ka Bichar Haru (Thoughts of an Orphan) 1988 another remarkable literary work of him is Nar Bahadur Bhandari ka Kehi Rachana Haru (Few Writings of Nar Bahadur Bhandari). For a long time he was the President of Bharatiya Nepali Rastriya Parishad which played an imperative part for the inclusion of Nepali Language in the VIII Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
Apart from a literary figure and politician, Mr. Bhandari is a keen lover of sports particularly Football, Volleyball and Badminton and he is one of the best orators in Nepali speaking world. Due to his indefatigable efforts Nepali language received Constitutional Recognition on 20th August 1992. Even today at the age of 71, Mr. Bhandari is still active in the politics of Sikkim.

Arrest made in crossing guard hit and run | News
CANTON, Ga. -- Cherokee County Sheriff's investigators have made an arrest in a Tuesday afternoon hit and run accident.
Victor Baruchman, 20, of Woodstock was taken into custody Wednesday.
PHOTOS | Mug Shots: See 'em to Believe 'em
Cherokee County Sheriff's Lt. Jay Baker said Baruchman is accused of hitting a school crossing guard at around 3:45 p.m. outside Liberty Elementary School on Bells Ferry Road and then leaving the scene.
The crossing guard, 63-year-old Jerrold Reaid, broke his ankle in the incident. He has since been released from Northside Cherokee Hospital, Baker said.
Witnesses say the back window of the suspect's car had a T-shaped sticker. When detectives found Baruchman's car, they discovered the T had been scraped off the window.
Baruchman is being held in the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center on $15,000. He faces a charge of felony hit and run.
Baker said Baruchman had been rushing to get to his drug court graduation on time when he hit Reaid.

Health Canada – Québec City facility and GLOBULE Laurier Blood Donor Centre pass inspection
Québec City, July 3, 2017—From June 13 to 17, 2016, Health Canada conducted its annual inspection of the Québec facility as well as the GLOBULE Laurier Blood Donor Centre, following which their establishment licences were renewed.
Four observations for the Quebec facility and one observation for the GLOBULE Laurier Blood Donor Centre without a major impact on product safety were issued by the inspectors. Corrective measures have already been taken or will be taken shortly.
These results reflect once again that Héma-Québec meet the strictest standards and security measures and demonstrates that blood product, stem cells and human tissues safety is a constant priority.
Health Canada audits are designed to ensure compliance with safety measures and with the requirements stipulated in its operating licence. Inspections are conducted every year at Héma-Québec's Montréal and Québec facilities, and the GLOBULE Blood Donor Centres are closely examined every two years.
About Héma-Québec
Héma-Québec's mission is to efficiently meet the needs of the Québec population for quality blood and other biological products of human origin.
Héma-Québec encompasses 1,300 employees, nearly 165,000 blood donors, more than 2,000 mobile blood drives per year across Québec, thousands of volunteers and more than 300,000 blood products delivered annually to Québec hospitals to meet the needs of patients.

Outside of Mass, anointing of the sick begins with a ritual greeting
115. The priest greets the sick person and others present. One of the greetings in no 81 may be used.
A reverent setting for the Eucharist should be provided:
If communion is to take place during the rite, the priest then places the blessed sacrament on the table, and all join in adoration.
116. If it seems desirable, the priest may sprinkle the sick person and those present with holy water. One of the following may be used:
A) The Lord is our shepherd and leads us to streams of living water.
B) Like a stream in parched land, may the grace of the Lord refresh our lives.
C) Let this water call to mind our baptism into Christ, who by his death and resurrection has redeemed us.
These sprinkling acclamations are interesting. I don't recall seeing them anywhere in the Order of Mass. The rite doesn't assign psalms to use with them, but if you were asking, the obvious ones would be the 23rd for A, the 63rd for B, and perhaps the 118th for C: all appropriate for the sacrament at hand and all adding the paschal character to the celebration.
Among clergy in the readership, how many of you celebrate a sprinkling rite with the sick about to be anointed?

In 1997, I wanted to share what the Bible had to say about the end times, so I began to write my first novel. I completed The Past or the Coming Future in 1998. I have now completed 6 more books. I am currently writing 5 more books. All of those should be ready before the end of the year. Watch for all of them in the coming months.

Tires carry a wealth of information on their sidewalls; unfortunately, it's all in code. Most of it is of no concern to many owners, but it can be valuable for those who want to know the seasons for which their tires are intended, those who plan to replace their tires, or new-car buyers who are given a choice of sizes and types.
Apart from the name of the manufacturer and the tire model -- such as Bridgestone Turanza EL 400 -- the following marking, from a Honda Civic, is likely the most prominent.
P simply means this is a passenger-car tire. Other codes include T (temporary, as in a spare tire), LT (light truck) and C (commercial). Not all tires include this letter.
205 (the first number) is the tire's width in millimeters.
55 (the number following the slash) is a measure of the tire's profile -- the height of its sidewall relative to its width -- expressed as the sidewall's aspect ratio in a percentage. In this example, the sidewall height is 55 percent of the tire's width, which is 205 mm. The number is known as the tire's series; a sporty tire with shorter sidewalls would be considered a lower-series tire. Off-road tires tend to be higher-series, designed to absorb the impact from rough surfaces.
R means it is a radial tire, which describes the way the underlying layers, or plies, are laid out. The radial design is now so pervasive that the R designation is superfluous -- though it conveniently separates the series and diameter numbers. On some performance tires, an additional letter precedes the R: A ZR designation means the tire's maximum speed rating is above 149 mph (see the key below). This is another unnecessary character; all tires provide a letter designation in the service description, explained below. It follows the size code, sometimes in smaller type.
Speed Ratings Letter / Max. MP
*Z is an open-ended rating that means the tire's maximum speed is, at minimum, 150 mph.
16 (the last number) is the diameter, in inches, of the rim on which the tire fits.
89H is the service description. Separated from the main code, it represents the tire's load and speed ratings. This tire's 89 load index represents 1,279 pounds (per tire), and the speed rating of H represents 130 mph. The speed rating is less important in the U.S., where the speed limits are below even the lowest listed rating (N, or 87 mph). In other countries -- and our own, when no one's looking -- people are known to drive 100 mph and above.
M+S stands for mud and snow, indicating that this is an all-season tire. It's not the clearest of the specs, because there aren't other designations for summer and winter tires: Summer tires simply lack the M+S, and winter tires are labeled M+S and add an icon of a mountain plastered with a giant snowflake. (S, AS and W would be better, but what can you do?) Uniform Tire Quality Grade The following three codes, which appear on the sidewall, typically closer to the tire's tread, are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's uniform tire-quality grading system. Unfortunately, it's not all that uniform: It appears on all-season and summer tires, but not on snow tires, light-truck tires or spares. Further, the rating comes from the manufacturers, whose results might be consistent from one of their products to the next, but whose universality is questionable.
Treadwear: Uses numbers from 100 to about 700. Theoretically, a tire rated 150 would have a 50 percent longer lifespan than a tire rated 100 if used in the same conditions -- driver, vehicle and roads. Soft summer tires tend to have lower treadwear ratings than all-season tires. Winter tires aren't rated, but their soft compounds make for quick wear when driven off snow and ice.
The uniform tire quality grade is located on the sidewall near the tread. Traction: Uses AA, A, B and C, with AA being the best traction on a wet road. The traction measured is straight-line acceleration and braking. This is not a measure of cornering grip or performance on dry surfaces.
Temperature: Uses letter grades A, B and C, with A representing the best resistance to heat buildup and C the least. The friction of a tire on pavement generates heat, and too much heat degrades high-speed performance and can accelerate aging and failure. C is the lowest permissible rating. Temperature ratings correlate to speed, with C representing 85-100 mph, B representing 100-115 mph, and A covering speeds above 115 mph.
Notes: Arguably, the temperature rating -- like the "Z" speed rating -- is redundant, because it's tied to a speed rating that's presented with greater specificity in the service description. However, it's wise not to buy replacement tires with a rating lower than the originals', and it's a lot easier to match one of three temp ratings than it would be the 11 different speed ratings in the service description.
It's impossible to translate treadwear ratings to miles because where and how people drive plays a critical role. That said, if you think your tires wear out too quickly, consider a higher rating. The same goes for traction, but understand that changes in one characteristic typically change others, be it treadwear, noise, ride quality or price.
Tire Age/Date of Manufacture
Unlike the other, more-prominent specs, the Department of Transportation's Tire Identification Number is of interest to tire owners and buyers alike -- mainly because it includes the week and year of the tire's manufacture, and thus its age. Tire age, not just wear, has become a safety concern.
Found close to the rim, the TIN consists of a series of 10-12 letters and numbers that -- like a vehicle identification number -- are of little use to a consumer. But the last four numbers represent the birth week and year of any tire built since 2000.
The tire above was manufactured in the 43rd week of 2005. Tires built before 2000 used a three-digit code, where the year was reduced to a single digit. If the tire above were from 1997 rather than 2005, its code would be 437. Would 437 also be the code for a tire made in the 43rd week of 1987? Unfortunately, yes, it would -- and that's why four digits are now used.
Recently, the effect of tire age on safety has become a concern. Unfortunately, climates and how well a tire is cared for affect its aging, so there are no universal rules. Most tires wear out before age becomes an issue, but some automakers -- mainly German ones -- recommend replacement after six years in service, regardless of wear. Most automakers agree that 10 years is the maximum safe lifespan for any tire, including a spare that has never been used. When buying new tires, it's wise to check their birth date. Treat them like milk: Your family might finish a gallon before its expiration date, but then again, it might not. Why take the chance? For the same money, you should get the freshest milk -- or tires -- you can find. You might wear the tires out long before they're due for retirement, but why buy a set whose clock is already ticking?
What's Not on the Sidewall: The Proper Inflation Pressure
If you look closely enough, you'll probably find a maximum-pressure figure on a tire's sidewall. Don't do it. This is not the recommended pressure for you to use; it's the maximum rating for the tire, irrespective of the vehicle on which it's used. Invariably, it's dramatically higher than the pressure you should be using.
New cars present the proper inflation pressures on the driver's doorjamb, as required by law. For more information, see Tire Maintenance.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Hackers targeted dozens of computer systems at government agencies across Europe through a flaw in Adobe Systems Inc's software, security researchers said on Wednesday, while NATO said it too had been attacked.
The alliance said its systems had not been compromised, although it was sharing the details of the attack with NATO member states and remained vigilant. Security experts say governments and organizations such as NATO are attacked on a daily basis - although the sophistication varies wildly.
These particular attacks appeared both widespread and innovative, the private computer security firms announcing the discovery said, with one expert saying he believed a nation-state might be responsible.
Russia's Kaspersky Lab and Hungary's Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security, or CrySyS, said the targets of the campaign included government computers in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Portugal and Romania.
They also said a think tank, a research institute and a healthcare provider in the United States, a prominent research institute in Hungary and other entities in Belgium and Ukraine were among those targeted by the malicious software, which they have dubbed "MiniDuke".
The researchers suspect MiniDuke was designed for espionage, but were still trying to figure out the attack's ultimate goal.
"This is a unique, fresh and very different type of attack," said Kurt Baumgartner, a senior security researcher with Kaspersky Lab. "The technical indicators show this is a new type of threat actor that hasn't been reported on before."
He said he would not speculate on who the hackers might be.
The malware exploited a recently identified security flaw in Adobe's software. Adobe said a software patch issued last week should protect users from "MiniDuke" providing they downloaded it.
Boldizsár Bencsáth, a cyber security expert who runs the malware research team at CrySyS, told Reuters that he had reported the incident to NATO, although it was not clear if that was what first alerted the alliance.
Bencsáth said he believed a nation-state was behind the attack because of the level of sophistication and the identity of the targets, adding that it was difficult to identify which country was involved.
Exactly how serious the attacks were was not immediately clear, nor who exactly the targets were or at what level European governments were alerted.
The Czech counterintelligence agency BIS said they were not aware of any massive hacking attacks on Czech institutions from abroad recently. The Czech National Security Bureau, responsible for government data, was not immediately available for comment. Neither were officials from other states said to be affected.
A NATO official in Brussels had earlier said the alliance was not directly hit, but he said later that he had been incorrect. He gave no further details.
The researchers, who declined to further elaborate on the targets' identities, released their findings as more than 20,000 security professionals gathered in San Francisco for the annual RSA conference.
MiniDuke attacked by exploiting recently discovered security bugs in Adobe's Reader and Acrobat software, according to the researchers. The attackers sent their targets PDF documents tainted with malware, an approach that hackers have long used to infect personal computers.
The bugs were first identified two weeks ago by Silicon Valley security firm FireEye. The firm reported that hackers were infecting machines by circulating PDFs tainted with malicious software.
The MiniDuke operators used an unusual approach to communicate with infected machines, according to the researchers. The virus was programmed to search for Tweets from specific Twitter accounts that contained instructions for controlling those personal computers. In cases where they could not access those Tweets, the virus ran Google searches to receive its marching orders.
Officials with Twitter and Google could not immediately be reached.
Bencsáth said he believed the attackers installed "back doors" at dozens of organizations that would enable them to view information on those systems, then siphon off data they found interesting.
He said researchers had yet to uncover evidence that the operation had moved to the stage where operators had begun to exfiltrate data from their victims.
Privately, many Western government and private sector computer experts say China is the clear leader when it comes to state-sponsored cyber attacks to steal information - although they rarely say so publicly and Beijing angrily denies it.
According to cybersecurity expert Alexander Klimburg at the Austrian Institute for International Affairs, however, the closest attack to this in style was a Trojan dubbed "TinBa" identified two months ago and used for banking fraud attacks. That was suspected to have been built by Russian hackers, he said, talking down the prospect of state involvement.
"There are some interesting aspects to the attacks," said Klimburg, pointing to the use of Twitter. "(But) most of the attack does not seem that new at all. Some of the... 'tricks', such as using pictures to hide data, are more reminiscent of proficient students rather than government agencies."

Deep in east Germany lies Lusatia, a small state full of ponds and lakes. Today's visitors to the Lusatian Lakes can hardly believe that they are standing on the edge of a former opencast mine site. Approximately 250 km long, the ENERGY Route of Lusatian Industrial Heritage will guide you through awe-inspiring sites used by the domestic energy industry and take you on an unforgettable adventure through huge machinery and canyons.
The ENERGY Route of Lusatian Industrial Heritage runs through a region that is full of contradictions. Rare animals such as the otter or the mysterious bittern live in the region's tranquil lakes, whilst elks can be seen rearing their calves in its fen woodland. Just a few kilometres away, however, you would be forgiven for thinking you were standing in the midst of an endless lunar landscape. Meanwhile long-silent machinery is brought back to life in Lusatia's monuments, museums and heritage venues.
Absolutely thrilling
The ENERGY Route unlocks a world of monuments unlike anything you have seen before. Discover how coal is converted into energy and how this changed Lusatia's landscape: the region's dormant open cast mines were flooded to create its spectacular water world of countless lakes. The sights of the ENERGY Route are just waiting to be discovered – and each has its own unique welcome in store!
Highlights and Insider Tips
At Lichterfeld take a moment to appreciate mining equipment such as the F60 Overburden Conveyer Bridge up close or stand on the glass viewing platform at the bio-towers in Lauchhammer. Ramble through Marga, Germany's first Garden City and the most beautiful industrial village in Lusatia. If you wish, you can experience a "Swift Start" on the Factory Adventure Tour at the Knappenrode Power Station which runs three times a day. Alternatively you can take a look at the modern Schwarze Pumpe Power Station. Tours through the active Welzow-Süd mine and a visit to its visitors' centre also promise an unforgettable experience, or alternatively you can be amazed by LOUISE, Europe's oldest briquette factory, and its charming 19th century technology.
Experience the flair of industry
The ENERGY Route of Lusatian Industrial Heritage is one of the experience tours found on the "European Route of Industrial Heritage" (ERIH). Covering over 150 years of energy production, the tour through a bizarre world of charred holes, deserts, steppes, amazing dune formations, unspoiled canyons and active open cast mines can be taken on foot, by bicycle, quad bike, electric car or SUV.

Communicating Love
However, when I got home, the phone rang, it was Dad. I said, "Dad, you just sent me home! Why are you calling?
He said, "I just want to be sure the lines of communication are open."
Those were the last words he ever spoke to me. After a lifetime of poor communication, to have those be his last words, was simply love.

MSayers -I spent a number of years not talking to my father, and it was only when he was dying that he invited me to "let him have it."
He really didn't want to die without his children having their own pound of flesh. I, at least, took the bait and it turned out well.

I read your 'story'! Wow! I can't wait for the next chapter! I Am glad you made your peace with your Father before he died. I work for Hospice and see a lot of 'fear' turn to 'acceptance' after Peace has been made. By the way. I didn't circumcise my sons and they were made fun of for having foreskins!

Marketers, trainers, and communicators from businesses both small and large all want to use more motion, animation, or doodle videos to attract and keep viewer attention, as well as to pass on their message in a powerful and effective way. Unfortunately, without the right tool, such content is difficult to create. It requires graphical and programming expertise, or, if you outsource it, is very expensive to make. This is why we created Explaindio.
Explaindio is Transforming How Videos are Made…
We believe the video creation is an experience, and experience is defined by the software and video assets working jointly together. We continue to refine that experience, dramatically blurring the boundaries between the two, making the Explaindio more powerful, more intuitive, and ultimately more useful.
Multiple interface parts have been re-engineered to a single canvas screen delivering seamless fusion of video creation elements. We think that video creation software with a real coherence is the result of developing code and creative video assets in unison. We believe that it is the only way to provide the video creation experience that embodies both the sense of quality and integrity synonymous with the Explaindio. This means developing the new Explaindio 2.0 by creating a whole new software architecture; the whole process culminating in an extraordinary, solid, rapid video creation software.

Even so, the Air's not without its flaws. We've already mentioned the very spartan array of ports, but there's another: the design of cooling system. The Air pulls air in through the keyboard and vents it out of a grille on the base, or vice versa. That's fine when you're using the air on a desk, where the airflow will be unimpeded, but it makes it tricky to use perched on your thighs. Do so and you'll block the vents.
MacBook owners might be wary of doing this in any case, having experience high Apple laptop baseplate temperatures, but the Air's a different beast that runs much cooler than the company's other machines. It's a lot cooler than the MacBook Pro when running exactly the same set of applications. Push the processor and upper and lower surfaces will warm up but never get unpleasantly hot as the MacBook Pro can. The fan will rev up in such circumstances, but we never found its hum intrusive.
Missing ports not missed
As it turned out, we didn't mind the absence of an optical drive or multiple USB ports either, but that's no excuse for not building either an extra USB or a Firewire port into the Air's array, and an Ethernet socket, for that matter. Apple's £19 USB-to-Ethernet adaptor works well enough but, like the remote control, really should have come bundled, given the Air's price.
The standard, hard drive version retails for £1199/$1799, to which you can add £829/$1299 for the SSD version. The price is high when compared to Apple's more mainstream laptops but less than what Toshiba is charging for its entry-level R500, and Sony for the Vaio TZ1. Like those machines, the Air is a niche product, aimed at folk willing to pay more for a machine that's as portable as possible. And the Air is certainly very portable.
So too are the Sony and the Toshiba but without the sacrifices Apple felt it necessary to make to get its machine so thin. A little more thickness for extra ports wouldn't have been much of a compromise and still left the Air with a slightly bigger screen and keyboard, and a faster CPU than the TZ1 and R500. Better looking too - that's enough of a differentiation without having to be thinner into the bargain.

Heart Health 8: Lawmaker pushing for noninvasive test for infants
"He is 2 1/2. He will be 3 in June and he is wild, crazy energetic toddler. He is into everything all the time, he is so much fun, said Elizabeth Roy.
Roy said her son Broden wasn't always this happy and healthy.
Despite having a normal pregnancy and delivery, shortly after his birth, Broden started having trouble and nearly died.
"The last night I stayed in the hospital he got a cold and clammy feeling. I asked the nurse if she thought everything was OK and she said he is probably just cold and wrapped him up in another blanket," Roy said.
Roy said when they got home the next day, things didn't get any better.
"He was 7 days old. At about 2 o'clock in the morning he stopped nursing. He was cold and clammy. I wasn't sure what was going on," she said.
But she knew something was wrong and after Broden was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland, doctors said he was having severe organ failure.
"We weren't really sure, one, what was wrong with our baby and two, whether he was going to live or not," Roy said.
After endless hours of praying and lots of tears, Broden's family finally got some answers. Broden had a severe heart defect and would need several surgeries.
"You know he had many warning signs when he was first born that he didn't have enough oxygen in his blood," Roy said.
Roy believes if he was given a pulse oximetry test, which measures oxygen levels in blood, hid doctors might have known something was wrong.
It's a non-invasive test that a nurse can do by putting a monitor on a baby's foot.
Rep. Henry Beck of Waterville said about 70 percent of hospitals in Maine give newborns that test, but he want every hospital to give it, and that's why he's introducing legislation to mandate it.
"In a lot of states it is already a standard of care, but we thought it was important to put that in the law in statue create that standard. Makes sure kids like Broden are detected early get that treatment early," said Beck.
So hopefully they might avoid going through what Broden and his family had to experience.
"Every day I just look at him and you can't help but smile and be thankful for what we were given. We had all the right doctors and nurses and a great team that day," Roy said.

I made two cards with this fabulous NEW Lisa Johnson Designs - Howdy Stamp set. This is such a fun set and I wanted to show how versatile it is, so, I made a cowgirl card and cowboy card for you today!
First up, is my very girlie and quite bright card. I used this new BasicGrey Soleil 6x6 pad and I know this card would appeal to a pre-teen or teenage girl and I was right...my daughter, Hannah, totally loves this card. Working with this gorgeous NEW Howdy Stamp set brought back fond memories of my childhood too. I remembered playing with my friend Sirena, she had a large collection of these beautiful model horses, we would play for hours.
I also used the NEW Howdy Die-namics, the NEW Western Star Border Duo and the NEW Framed Flourishes!
Here is a detail shot of the sweet little tag from the NEW Howdy Frames Die-namics. I love that you get several tiny stars in the NEW Howdy Stamp set with different patterns that fit perfectly inside the larger star circle stamp...makes a great two tone effect. I also used the Country Charms Die-namics and the Flower Medley Die-namics. I added a big bow with gorgeous MFT Grapesicle Grosgrain ribbon.
Here is the inside of my card...I used the Well Worn Greetings Die-namics for the sentiment panel and stamped anther fun sentiment from the NEW Howdy Stamp set. I absolutely LOVE the NEW Western Star Border Duo Die-namics...it's a must-have item from this release.
Now for the more masculine card using the NEW Howdy Stamp set and the NEW Western Background Stamp set. I used the MME Portobello road 6x6 papers and I used the NEW Howdy Frames Die-namics and the NEW Western Star Border Duo Die-namics.
I stamped one of the background stamps from the NEW Western Background stamp set on Sweet Tooth Heavyweight card stock cut with the larger of the two ribbon dies from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics. I think it looks like a spotted horses or a cow print. I also used the Star STAX Die-namics and the small stars are cut out from the Western Star Border Duo Die-namics and sprinkled them around the card.
Here is the inside of the card...I stamped the background stamp from the NEW Western Background Stamp set again.
Thanks SO much for stopping by and having a wee peek at my cards with the NEW Howdy and NEW Western Background Stamp sets. Please mosey on over to Kim's blog for links to all the MFT Designers with inspiration today!
Happy Stampin'!

The people who give us the hardest time are our strongest teachers.
I used to get along so well with both my mother and my grandmother, and I love them both dearly. My husband and I lived in another town, but moved closer to my mother because we are planning to have a baby soon and could do with the help.
That is where the problems started.
My mother now wants to know everything about me and my husband – especially me – and it is getting out of hand. When she does not hear from me often enough, she calls me and leaves hysterical messages. She wants to hear from me every day, and I refuse to call her that often.
My grandmother lives just up the street and doesn't call me every day, but she has another way of stalking me. When she does call and I don't respond, she simply walks to my house and enters without knocking. I have asked her not to do it, but she just ignores me.
When my grandmother wants to go anywhere, she just marches up to my house and expects me to leave everything and take her. When I refuse she goes and sits in the car waiting for me.
Both of them want to know when my husband and I go out and when we return, and if we don't call them, they both freak out about my safety – as if my husband can't take care of me!
We are at a point where we just want to pack our stuff and move away, and have a baby without even telling them about it.
Please don't tell me to talk to them about this, because I know it won't make any difference. What else can I do to get them out of my hair?

Skin MD Shielding Vegan Lotion Giveaway!
It's dry skin season, peeps and I know we're all in the market for an awesome moisturizing hand/foot/face lotion… a vegan and cruelty-free one that works. I recently tried Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion and it fit the bill. I had actually never heard of a shielding lotion before so I did a little research. So it turns out not only does this lotion moisturize (with ingredients like aloe vera, arnica, yarrow, chamomile, comfrey and Vitamin E) but this lotion also bonds to the outer layer of your skin, literally creating a barrier which prevents toxins, chemicals and irritants from permeating your skin (like wearing an invisible glove – but this lotion is light, non-greasy and won't clog pores). At the same time, it allows your skin's natural moisture to do it's thing so you're getting double the protection.
It's fragrance-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free, vegan, hypoallergenic and can be used on your face, hands and your entire body.
Leave a comment on this post to be entered to win a free bottle of Skin MD Shielding Lotion ($18 value). A winner will be randomly selected and announced on Nov. 24. Good luck!
*UPDATE* Winner of the Skin MD Shielding Lotion Giveaway is Monica! Congrats!
Winner was chosen using random.org

Hi…how many of these creams are being given away on November? I'm happy that Monica won but…which year of Nov. did she win it? If 2012 then there's no point on trying now, or is this being repeated yearly?
Sorry for the questionnaire.
I'm a vegan of 35 years (a veggie of 40 years) and never detoured from my vegan lifestyle knowingly. 🙂 Adela
OOOHHH! I want to try
i would love to try this.
It gets me through the desert nights!
I'm interested in a new lotion brand for the cold season. Here's hoping that I win!
Dry hands. Need. Soon. Please.
Pick MEEE! I'm vegan and I love lotion. And I have dry skin! It's a perfect fit.
I would like to try this lotion out! Pick me!
Yeah! I looove lotion!
Ooh, looks like an extremely gentle formula!
This looks great! More vegan products!!!
I love nothing more than discovering and supporting cruelty free products! I would love to try this product and then spread the word to all my friends and family. xoxo
That looks fantastic; I'd love to try it! I'm a new vegan and am using up all my old body/face products before finding cruelty-free alternatives, so this would be a great place to start.
Looks like a great site thanks!

I would love to win this. I would like to say how great your product is, but honestly I have never tried it. I currently use a homemade concotion of lemon juice, sugar , and safflower oil. This requires rinsing. Pick me so I can leave my vegan moisturizer on! Thanks, Nikki
I need this!
Sweet! I'd be down to try!
Vegan lotion! Yes, please!
Awesome giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win. Love your blog. 🙂
This lotion looks great. I sing in a choir and as a courtesy to my fellow singers must use fragrance-free soaps, lotions, shampoos, etc. – and sometimes it can be a challenge finding vegan/cruelty free items that are also fragrance free. So,thanks! (Found you from the LA Times article a few months ago.)
Just found this site from No Whey! and boy I am glad I did. I love to get new products and finding vegan, animal friendly is the goal. THANKS!!
Ladies or Gentlemens, if anyone dares to Chris Brown you, use this lotion, it helps heal bruising. Arnica is all Rhianna ever really needed, which is a key ingredient in this Skin MD formula!
I've heard of this but haven't been able to find it. I'd love to win!
Wow that's pretty cool. Interested in trying for sure!
I'm up for new R&D that helps!
That lotion sounds wonderful! I would love to win!
I work with with wet, dirty produce all day long and wash my hands about a thousand times a day. At the end of the day, my hands are trashed! This lotion sounds like a lifesaver!

This lotion sounds GREAT!!! I LOVE that's it's cruelty-free and vegan to boot. Who could ask for a kinder product on the market!?
This looks fantastic! I've heard of the brand before, but I've never tried it. Thanks for the giveaway!
Moving back up north after living in humid FL has made me skin drier then it's used to. I'm currently seeking the perfect lotion solution. I wil have to try this out!
I really want to try this!
Eager to try the lotion here in western NY. It's been beautiful, but I hear we are in for trouble after Thanksgiving. I hope the weatherman is wrong.
It's already freezing on the east coast and I can't seem to drink enough water to hydrate from the inside; hopefully this will help from the outside.
I just came across this blog this weekend and it's awesome! I am a vegan neophyte, (I just started going vegan about a month ago) so this site is really helpful for me in terms of product recommendations and what kinds of ingredients to avoid. I haven't come across any other sites devoted to vegan beauty products! As a fellow beauty junkie, this site makes me happy. It would be great to try this lotion – I live in upstate New York, and am facing a long, skin drying winter ahead of me.
Where in upstate NY. I'm from Rochester and smile when people from Albany tell me they are from upstate NY.
Glad that you found this web site. Sunny had lots of fascinating things to share.
i'll need some of that when it gets cold out and my hands get dry : )
Vegan lotion = win!
Comment! ((I've got dry skin up the waaazoo!)) I love vegan-friendly products! <3
Comment! 😉 I've got dry skin up the waaaazoo!
Comment left for lotion!
I would love to try some!
Oh, my goodness, it sounds like my dry, sensitive skin needs this shielding lotion! Thank you for the give-away!
Awesome! I would be so thankful if I won this 🙂 My skin sucks, haha. And I'm broke, so getting good lotion is pretty hard.
Yay for vegan lotion that will actually make my skin soft and do it's job!
Vegan products are difficult to find in my zone, so I'd loove
to get me some of this lotion!
Always looking for a new vegan beauty product to add to my repertoire!
I want to try some!
I never heard of shielding lotion either… would be interesting to try!
My wife goes through lotion like crazy! Well…I use it too!! Always looking for some good vegan/cruelty free lotion out there to cure the dry skin! This looks like some good stuff!!
Cool! I'd like to try this!
