Because She Asked for It
Here's part of what Wikipedia has to say about Anne Boleyn:
Anne Boleyn, Queen Consort of England, 1st Marchioness of Pembroke[1] (ca. 1501/1507 – 19 May 1536)[2] was the second wife of King Henry VIII and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. Henry's marriage to Anne, and her subsequent execution, were part of the complex beginning of the considerable political and religious upheaval which was the English Reformation, with Anne herself actively promoting the cause of Church reform. She has been called "the most influential and important queen consort England has ever had".[3]Silly Wikipedia, she was executed because she called Henry a name, and damaged his fragile ego:
Shouldn't It Be the Bride of Frankenstein's Monster, Anyway?
I quibble. One more from Mr. Boffo:
It's funny 'cuz he would beat the shit out of her if she didn't lock him up! Ha!
Bat = Not Funny. Open Hand = Funny!
In the boys-will-be-boys stereotyping category, Boondocks gives us the ultimate in funny: Riley smacking his older brother upside the head:
I sure am glad he didn't use the bat, or I would have laughed until milk came out of my nose! And I'm not even drinking milk!
Also: Grandpa Still a Tool of the Patriarchy
I've talked about grandpa's sexist stereotyping before, and he's up to his old antics again:
His grandkids are bruising and battering each other, but it's just boys playing, so that's ok! And funny! And, if you think Aaron McGruder's just making fun of boys-being-boys, then maybe you haven't seen the hi-larious cartoon he created with the funny pimp! Don't get me wrong: I love so much about Boondocks. I think The Adventures of Flagee and Ribbon were genuine brilliance. I guess I feel the way Mikhaela Reid feels about it.

My impression has always been that making malt is easy, but making good malt is hard. I'll be looking forward to your results!
Just the nudge I need. Last spring I planted a couple of packets of barley seeds in my garden, and harvested about 3 lbs.Hadn't done anything with it. I think I need to start malting it this weekend!Good luck w/yours!
I would skip the late hops and just see what you have. And maybe do another batch with pale or pils malt for comparison.
I think I would go for your normal crush to better gauge what kind of differences you will see in yield.
I thought grain sold for planting is usually sprayed with fungicides?

Endy:Northern blot, AlkPhos end-labeled probes
The following protocol for Northern Blotting is based on getting RNA from the RNA extraction method used by Sean Moore, Agarose (as opposed to polyacrylamide) gel electrophoresis, and the Turboblotter system from Whatman. This is largely a compilation of another previous Endy lab protocol and the Knight lab's protocol for RNA gels.
- 1 Materials
- 1.1 RNAse free water
- 1.2 Turboblotter Kit
- 1.3 10X BPTE electrophoresis buffer
- 1.4 Glyoxal
- 1.5 Glyoxal reaction mixture
- 1.6 RNA gel loading buffer
- 1.7 "Denaturing" Buffer
- 1.8 "Neutralizing" Buffer
- 1.9 20x SSC "Transfer" buffer
- 1.10 Prewash Solution (0.1x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
- 1.11 100x Denhardt Solution
- 1.12 Pre-hybridization Buffer
- 1.13 Stringency Wash (6x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
- 2 Protocol
- RNA extracted from cells (should be ~1-5µg/µl).
- SYBR Gold for staining the gel (if you're going to view it under UV).
- HPLC grade or better DMSO
RNAse free water
- make lots for rinsing glassware and electrophoresis chambers (4L for a reaction?)
- Add DEPC to final concentration of 0.1%.
- Incubate 1hr at 37°C.
- Autoclave for 15 mins at 15 psi.
Turboblotter Kit
This kit uses downward capillary transfer and therefore can run a transfer in <4hrs. It uses (+) charge nylon membranes, which bind RNA more tightly but also have higher background.
- From Whatman [[1]]
- Stack and Buffer trays. These can apparently be improvised using empty tip boxes (?).
- Blotting paper.
- (+)nylon membrane (Nytran SuPerCharge)
- buffer wick
10X BPTE electrophoresis buffer
This buffer has low ionic strength and does not remove glyoxal from RNA during electrophoresis and therefore does not have to be recirculated.
- The final pH of this 10x buffer is ~6.5.
- 100 mM PIPES
- 300 mM Bis-Tris
- 10 mM EDTA
- Prepare by adding the following to 90 ml of distilled H2O. (might scale up to 500ml for first time).
- 3 g of PIPES (free acid)
- 6 g of Bis-Tris (free base)
- 2 ml of 0.5 M EDTA
- Treat the solution with final concentration of 0.1% DEPC for 1 hour at 37°C
- Autoclave.
- Commercially available stock solutions of glyoxal contain both hydrated forms of glyoxal and oxidation products that can degrade RNA. These must be removed; we used the protocol as follows (See Sambrook and Russel 3rd Ed, App. 1-24):
- Run the Glyoxal over mixed-bed ion exchange resin. We used BioRad AG 501-X8 (D) resin beads (these beads need to be largely blue; if they're gold-orange, they've oxidized and should be disposed of as HazWaste. Ours were a mix of blue and gold beads, so I ended up just using as much resin as I needed to to get the pH up ~~Felix Moser). Equal volumes of resin and glyoxal were placed in an epp tube; the glyoxal's pH was measured w/ pH paper strips after a few minutes. Repeat this until the glyoxal's pH is >5.5.
Glyoxal reaction mixture
- 6mL DMSO
- 2mL deionized glyoxal
- 1.2mL of 10X BPTE electrophoresis buffer
- 0.6mL of 80% glycerol
- 0.2ml of either ddH2O or ethidium bromide, depending on how or whether you're staining it.
- (divide into small aliquots and store at -70°C)
RNA gel loading buffer
- 95% deionized formamide
- Purchase a distilled deionized preparation of formamide and store in small aliquots under nitrogen at -20°C.
- 0.025% (w/v) bromophenol blue
- 0.025% (w/v) xylene cyanol FF
- 5 mM EDTA (pH 8.0)
- 0.025% (w/v) SDS
- got some from Sean Moore. Make sure final volume of buffer is no less than 50% volume of the sample.
"Denaturing" Buffer
- 0.5NaOH
- 1.5M NaCl
- For 1L: 20g NaOH, 87.66g NaCl, bring volume to 1L w/ ddH2O.
"Neutralizing" Buffer
- 0.5M Tris-HCl pH 7
- 1.5M NaCl
- For 1L: 60.56g Tris, 87.66g NaCl, 800ml ddH2O, adjust pH w/ conc. HCl and bring volume to 1L w/ ddH2O.
20x SSC "Transfer" buffer
- 3M NaCl
- 0.3M sodium citrate
- adjust pH to 7.
- For 1L: 175.5g NaCl, 88.2g Na citrate (dihydrate), 800ml ddH2O, adjust pH to 7 then bring to 1L w/ ddH2O.
Prewash Solution (0.1x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
50 mL Total Volume
- 250 µL of 20x SSC
- 500 µL of 10% SDS
- 49.25 mL of nuclease-free H2O
100x Denhardt Solution
- 5 g of Ficoll 400
- 5 g of polyvinylpyrrolidone (Not polyvinylpolypyrrolidone!)
- 5 g of BSA Fraction V (stored at 4°C)
- dissolve to 250 mL in nuclease-free H2O
- Sterile filter and freeze in 5 mL aliquots
Pre-hybridization Buffer
50 mL Total Volume
- 5 mL of 100x Denhart's Solution
- 15 mL of 20x SSC
- 0.5 mL of 10% SDS
- 29.5 mL of Nuclease-free H2O
Stringency Wash (6x SSC/ 0.1% SDS)
200 mL Total Volume
- 2 mL of 10% SDS
- 60 mL of 20X SSC
- 138 mL of nuclease-free H2O
Running the Gel
For RNase free electrophoresis apparatus: Clean electrophoresis tanks and combs used for electrophoresis of RNA with detergent solution, rinse in H20, dry with ethanol, and then fill with a solution of 3% H2O2. After 10 minutes at room temperature, rinse the electrophoresis tanks and combs thoroughly with H2O treated with 0.1% DEPC
This protocol comes pretty much straight from Sambrook and Russel 3rd ed.:7-29.
- Set up the glyoxal denaturation reaction by combining 1-2 ul of RNA (up to 10 ug) with 10 ul of glyoxal reaction mixture. Also treat the NEB RNA ladder with 2X buffer @60*C for 5min.
- Incubate the RNA solutions for 60 minutes at 55°C. Chill the samples for 10 minutes in ice water and then centrifuge them for 5 seconds to deposit all of the fluid in the bottom of the microfuge tubes.
- While the samples are incubating, clean electrophoresis tank if necessary, and pour a 1.5% agarose gel in 1X BPTE (1.05 g agarose in 70 mL buffer). When set, cover the gel with sufficient buffer.
- Add the formamide loading buffer (>equal volume buffer) to the glyoxylated RNA samples, and without delay, load the glyoxylated RNA samples into the wells of the gel.
- Carry out electrophoresis at 70 Volts (in 14cm gels); ie. run gel @ 5V/cm.
- Trim away areas of the gel to be stained with sybrGold. (Membrane should be cut to match the size of the gel.) Wrap gel to be stained in saran wrap and store at 4°C until post-transfer gel is ready to be stained.
- Soak gel 30 min in "Denaturing Buffer" (0.5 M NaOH/1.5 M NaCl (~400 mL)). Agitate occasionally.
- Rinse the gel in ddH2O and Soak gel 20 min in "Neutralizing Buffer" (0.5 M Tris (pH 7.4)/ 1.5 M NaCl (~400 mL))
7 and 8 are optional steps for improving the transfer of long RNAs, esp from >1% gels. These steps are the from the Turboblotter protocol
Stain gel (can't do if continuing to northern)
- Prepare fresh 1:10,000 dilution in RNase free water of SybrGold or SybrGreen (SybrGreen recommended by Sean, since it's specific for RNA; ppbly doesn't make a big difference, though).
- Ensure pH is 7.0-8.5.
- Pour into staining tray.
- Place gel in plastic staining container.
- Shield from light.
- Agitate gently for 10-40 mins at room temperature.
- Image with gel box. (Place a clear ruler next to gel to more accurately assess length.)
Prepare the Membrane (5-15 minutes)
NOTE: Be gentle with the membrane. The number of times a membrane can be stripped and re-probed is usually limited by physical damage to the blot.
- Cut a piece of membrane to the dimensions of the agarose gel. Max dimensions for hybridization in 50mL tubes: 8 x 9 cm (circumference x diameter). If membrane is larger, sandwich between sheets of nylon mesh to allow buffer to penetrate overlap.
- Wet the membrane by carefully laying it on top of Milli-Q water in a shallow tray. (Do not immerse the Immobilon-Ny+ membrane in liquid on the first liquid exposure. If you wet both sides, air can become trapped in the pores and form bubbles.)
- Agitate the tray gently once the membrane is wet to completely immerse the membrane.
- Transfer the membrane to a second tray containing transfer buffer (20 x SSC).
- Equilibrate the membrane at least 5 minutes.
Transfer of RNA onto Membrane by Turboblotter Capillary Transfer (3-4 hours)
NOTE: Refer to Fig. 1 when setting up the TurboBlotter System.
- Place stack tray of transfer device on bench, making sure it is level.
- Place 20 sheets of dry GB004 blotting paper (thick) in stack tray.
- Place 4 sheets of dry GB002 blotting paper (thin) on top of stack.
- Place one sheet of GB002 blotting paper, prewet in 20xSSC transfer buffer on stack.
- Place transfer membrane on stack. Smooth bubbles by rolling a clean glass pipette over the surface. Do not touch with gloves.
- Cover the membrane with agarose gel, cut the gel to the size of the membrane, making sure there are no air bubbles between the gel and the membrane.
- IF the gel is smaller than the membrane and the surrounding blotting paper, cover the area surrounding the gel w/ PLASTIC (eg. Sarran wrap, cut-out parts of tip boxes) so that the transfer buffer does not soak through the areas where the blotting paper above the gel touches the blotting paper below it.
- WET the top surface of the gel with transfer buffer and place 3 sheets of presoaked (in 20x transfer buffer) GB002 Blotting Paper, in on top of the gel.
- Attach the buffer tray of the transfer device to the bottom tray using the circular alignment buttons to align both trays.
- Fill the buffer tray with 125 ml transfer buffer for 7 x 8 cm to 11 x 14 cm transfers; (200 ml for 12 x 21 cm to 20 x 25 cm transfers).
- Start the transfer by connecting the gel stack with the buffer tray using the precut, PRESOAKED buffer WICK (included in each blotter stack), in transfer buffer. Place the wick cover on top of the stack to prevent evaporation. Make sure the edges of the wick are immersed in the transfer buffer.
- Continue the transfer for 3 hr. Additional transfer time may be required for gels thicker than 4 mm or larger-size nucleic acids. (Try 4 hr, since gel is 1.5%)
- Disassembly: mark edges of gel and lane borders onto blot with pencil.
NOTE: Do not place any other weight on top of the wick cover during transfer. This is unnecessary and may inhibit transfer by crushing the pore structure of the agarose gel.
RNA Fixation with UV Cross-Linking (5 minutes)
- It is not necessary to allow the blot to dry completely prior to UV cross-linking.
- Place the blot on a sheet of clean filter paper to prevent contamination if you plan to place the UV light source above the blotted RNA. (If you plan to place the membrane on a UV transilluminator, clean the surface with Milli-Q water and a Kimwipe.)
- Expose the side of the blot with the bound RNA to a UV light source (254 nm). We used one of the Sauer lab's UV handheld light sources for 5min.
Hybridization (2 hours + overnight + >1 hour)
- If blot dimensions are less than 8 x 9 cm, place blot in a 50 mL conical tube, RNA facing in. Make sure the blot doesn't overlap itself. 50 mL conical tubes fit in the Sauer Lab "Bambino" mini-hybridization oven. If blot is too large for a 50 mL conical tube, use large glass tubes and Baker Lab hybridization oven.
- Prewash Blot in 0.1x SSC/ 0.1% SDS for 1 hour at 65°C in hybridization oven. 10 - 15 mL of solution is required to cover the blot in a 50 mL tube, and sufficient for all steps. This incubation can be cut to 30 min if pressed (says Sean.)
- Remove Prewash
- Prehybridize blot for > 1 hour in 10 - 15 mL of pre-hybridization solution at hybridization temp. Hybridization temp ~15°C below estimated Tm of probe. If reusing probe in hybridization solution, thaw probe as balance. NOTE: It is possible to store blots in prehybridization solution sort-term to indefinitely at 4°C or -20°C (Sean)
- Remove prehybridization buffer if reusing probe, otherwise retain same buffer.
- Add hybridization buffer with old probe to blot or add new probe to pre-hybridization buffer. Hybridize >6 hrs at hybridization temp.
- Pour off probe either into 32P liquid waste (remember to record waste) or into tube for storage at -20°C for later reuse. NOTE: if storing probe in 13 mL conical tube, remember not to fill tube completely.
- Wash blot in 10 - 15 mL of 6x SSC/ 0.1% SDS for 5 min at room temp in the hybridization oven (Leave door open to change temp quickly. Put shield up.)
- Repeat wash twice for a total of three room temp washes. Dispose of the first wash in the 32P liquid waste. For subsequent washes pour off buffer in the sink. (Record waste.)
- During washes, pre-erase PhosphorImager screen 20 min on light table.
- Repeat wash a forth time for 20 min at 10°C below estimated Tm in hybridization oven.
- Pour off final wash. Remove damp blot from tube and lay on clean saran wrap. Fold saran wrap to seal blot.
- Expose wrapped blot to PhosphorImager screen in casette.
- Image screen after 1 hour.
- Erase screen.
- Expose screen overnight if original image is faint.
- Erase screen before returning casette.

CS6 applications only work in admin accountsCarlos1327 Jun 9, 2012 8:06 PM
iMacs, OS X 10.6.8, 4gb of ram:
Our district has a volume license of CS 6 Master collection. I recently started upgrading the iMacs in our computer labs to CS6, but the applications only work on the admin account. When I try to run the applications from a managed account, I get the user permission prompt stating that the user does not have permission to run the application.
- If I select always allow, the application does not open.
- If I click allow once, the application opens, but more permissions prompts come up for the applications specific components that have to run.
- For Photoshop, for example, the user does not have permission for adobe_licutil, for AE, the mercury render engine, etc.
- The application opens, but freezes (see error code below).
What I've done so far:
- Ensured that the applications are checked off in the preferences so that the account has permission to run them, however, it appears that the user does not have permission for additional components which are not listed in system preferences and therefore cannot be checked off in system preferences.
- This did not work. The account has permission to run the apps but the same problems (1 & 2 above) persist.
- Selected all of the application folders and changed the permissions in the terminal (chmod -rf 777 on all folders). The account has permission for all files/components.
- This did not work.
- Changed the managed account to an admin account (allow user to adminster computer in system preferences) and all problems are fixed. All applications then open/run.
- Solves the problem and all CS 6 apps run, however, we cannot have students use an account with admin privileges.
- Changed the account back to a managed one, selected all CS 6 applications and utilities in the user account preferences, but the problems returned.
Any ideas on how this can be fixed?
All CS 6 applications result in the following error (the errors are essential identical, only the name of the application and reference to application specific components are different, not the entire log):

New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton confirmed Wednesday that Rob Ryan is a candidate to become the team's next defensive coordinator.
Payton told ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" program that the process to find a successor for the fired Steve Spagnuolo is ongoing, but said, "I think within a week, we'll have a firm decision on that.
"We're going to bring in two to three candidates," Payton said. "I think we'll know in a week. Much was reported about Rob Ryan, and he's going to come in and interview here at the end of this week. We'll have, I'd say, at least between two and four candidates."
The number of candidates for the job hinges upon the Saints being granted permission to speak with a handful of position coaches around the NFL.
This lines up with a Tuesday report from NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, who stated Ryan has become the favorite after former Kansas City Chiefs head coach Romeo Crennel's candidacy never quite got going once Ryan, the Dallas Cowboys' former defensive coordinator, became available.
It's clear the Saints are seeking a return to the 3-4 defense after operating out of a 4-3 scheme in 2012 that bled points (28.4 per game) and allowed the most yardage (7,042) in NFL history. Ryan hasn't exactly earned the reputation of a miracle worker on defense, but he's a creative coach in terms of rushing the passer and disguising fronts. That's something we didn't see enough of last season in New Orleans.

Here's a new weight loss tool that uses public humiliation to force you to lose weight. Available from Hammacher Schlemmer, the projection scale will display your current weight on the wall ... where everyone can see it.
You can adjust the projection from 2 to 6-inches high if you want to conceal your weight, but those bright red numbers are hard to miss.
You can hide your weight by using the LCD display on the scale itself, but you have to be trim enough to see past your belly. Nothing like adding insult to injury. [Hammacher Schlemmer via Coolest Gadgets]
You can keep up with Kelly Hodgkins, the author of this post, on Twitter, Google + or Facebook.

ORPC's TidGen™ turbine generator unit.
Advanced water power technologies include devices capable of extracting electrical power from waves, water currents, and ocean thermal temperature differences. They also included technology advancements that would (1) enable cost-competitive development of new hydropower resources such as hydropower projects built on conduit or water conveyance systems, existing non-powered dams, or small-scale pumped storage projects, or (2) lead to improvements in the efficiency and/or environmental performance of existing hydropower and pumped storage facilities. In FY 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy funded research and development activities designed to accelerate the technology evolution of advanced water power.
DOE STTR funding was used to refine the Ocean Renewable Power Company's (ORPC) TidGen™ Power System cross flow turbine foils. In 2012 the TidGen™ became the first commercial, grid-connected, hydrokinetic tidal energy project in North America. This is the only ocean energy project, other than one using a dam, which delivers power to a utility grid anywhere in North, Central, and South America.
In late summer 2012, ORPC completed installation of the first TidGen™ Power System at the Cobscook Bay, ME, including a local on-shore station. This first TidGen™ device has a rated capacity of 150 kilowatts and generates enough electricity annually to power 25 to 30 homes.
After running and monitoring the initial TidGen™ system for a year, ORPC will install additional power systems over the ensuing three years to increase the project's output to up to 5 megawatts – enough electricity to power 1,200 Maine homes and businesses with clean tidal energy. Since 2007, ORPC has invested more than $21 million into the Maine economy through spending in 13 of the state's 16 counties, and has created or retained more than 100 jobs statewide. This includes over $5 million spent locally and providing employment to more than three dozen contractors, as well as local spending on goods and services.

BRASELTON, Ga. – The Lipscomb Bisons made progress in the second round of the Atlantic Sun Golf Tournament, but they are looking forward to an even stronger final round.
The Bisons moved from a tie for ninth after Sunday's round to a tie for seventh after Monday's 18 holes at the windy Chateau Elan course. The Bisons, with a 310 in the second round, have a two-day, 36-hole total of 624. They are tied with Florida Gulf Coast for seventh.
But the Bisons are only four strokes behind Mercer in sixth place with a 620 and six strokes behind Northern Kentucky in fifth with a 618 after a second round score of 304, second lowest of the day.
"We have to play a really solid third round," said Will Brewer, LU's director of golf. "We are hanging in there. If we hadn't had a couple of mistakes, a couple of missed putts and a couple of bad swings we could be in the fourth or fifth spot."
North Florida, ranked 17th nationally, leads with a two-day 590.
Dustin Wilder, known for his consistency this season, shot a 76 Monday after a 75 Sunday. He is the team leader for the Bisons with a 151 and is tied for 10th place. Wilder has four birdies and 22 pars.
"Dustin was also one under par for a long time today," Brewer said. "He has some confidence. We have worked with him to play a more aggressive game and it has paid off."
Ryan Terry shot the lowest round for the Bisons Monday with a 73 after an 84 in round one. He is tied for 27th with a 157.
"Ryan got a better start in the second round," Brewer said. "In the first round he had a negative start and it continued to go that way. Today he was one-under for a long time."
Paul Kleine-Kracht followed his first round 80 with a 79 and is tied for 33rd with a score of 159. Kleine-Kracht leads the Bisons in par 5 scoring with a minus-1.
Seniors Blanton Farmer and Alex Cox have struggled. Farmer carded an 84 in round two after a score of 77 Sunday. He is tied for 37th with a 161. Cox has shot an 82 in each round for a 164, tying him for 43rd.
"This is their swan song for their college careers," Brewer said. "They are putting a lot of pressure on themselves. Sometimes that helps, but sometimes it goes the other way. I think they will both finish strong Wednesday."
The Bisons had an early dinner and were spending some time at one of the larger golf discount stores in the Atlanta area. Brewer expects them to be in bed no later than 10:30.
"I still feel really good about Tuesday," Brewer said. "We are not that far out of it. Golf is a funny game. I think it can all come together for us. We just need to be a little bit better."

Apply the power and you're up and planing at low speed all the way to 26 knots at cruise. It's the sort of performance and control that you appreciate whether you want a quick tournament start, a consistent trolling speed or to back up on a billfish. In addition, the 550's cockpit has been designed by a collection of Australia's most respected game fishing experts and has won accolades for 'fish-ability' and clever, practical use of space. Until now, no-one has successfully combined the attributes of luxury motoryachts with a true bluewater battler.

Focus Fuel consumtion/temp computer extra info
Simon S posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubWhile sitting in a traffic jam today I was messing around with the consumption computer. When I held the S button down for >4 seconds the computer constantly bleeps and shows all segments of the lcd display. If you keep pressing S you seem to get a load of extra data including what looks like remaining fuel in LTR and Gallons, something that might be pressure in the manifold, and a few others that I have no idea on. Any knowledge of this anyone?
It could be a faulty injector or loose valve clearance?
Yes. It's a diesel. They do rattle a bit, although not as much as earlier diesels did.
How often do Ford change the oil filter?
Simon S replied to Simon S's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks for that. I suppose it was about a year of crap on it!
How often do Ford change the oil filter?
Simon S posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI have just replaced the accessory belt on my tdci Focus and noticed the oil filter looks like it has not been changed in ages. As Ford mechanics would never consider not changing the filter I was wondering how often they are supposed to be replaced? Shall I give the engine a flush do you think?

Simon S replied to dezwez's topic in Ford Focus ClubPerfect timing for your post, mine is leaking on the return stroke and will need to be done next week. Thanks for the info.
what to do with my (broken) Focus???
Simon S replied to Carlos's topic in Ford Focus Club~I would find out what exactly is wrong with the engine IE broken rings, valve seats burnt , cracked head etc. Then go to a garage who wants to fix your car and ask them for a quote?
TDCI Turbo Issue
Simon S replied to Tw1ster's topic in Ford Focus ClubExactly what mine does. I have disconnected but not removed the EGR and although smoother on acceleration still makes little boost until normal temperature is reached. I put this down to programing.
Simon S replied to BICOSDICOS's topic in Ford Focus ClubMine is down on power until the temperature gauge gets to half way. Are the turbo pipes tight?
Sorry that is what I meant, the standars filter is restricted.
High Oil Pressure / Oil Pressure Relief Valve
Simon S replied to getaway's topic in Ford Focus ClubI had an Audi engine that did this. Trouble was when the valve opened it stuck open resulting in next to no oil pressure at idle.
Thanks SieraYankee, I take it the air filter is a slight restriction then? Is there a site you could recommend that do the chip upgrades? Thanks. Simon
More power from the 1.8 tdci
Simon S posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI am looking for a cheap way to get some more power from the focus 1.8 tdci and have seen a number of in line boxes that install between the fuel pressure sensor and the ECU. There are a number of them for sale on the famous auction site but is there a better option without spending more than £100?

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: September 5, 2002
Commissioner Librera Praises Local and County Officials
For Launch of Academies @ Englewood
Bergen County Magnet School Ends 30-year-old Desegregation Problem
Commissioner of Education William L. Librera today joined a host of educators and government officials in launching the inaugural year of the Academies @ Englewood. The new school, based in the former Dwight Morrow High School, represents a partnership of local and state governments in a pioneering effort to provide a superior education for students from diverse backgrounds.
"Today, you begin the exciting journey of being the first class to benefit from this innovative program that combines very high academic expectations with exemplary career preparation," said Commissioner Librera to the first 127 students selected to attend the Academies @ Englewood.
"You will also have the added distinction of being part of a program that represents an extremely creative solution to a 30-year-old desegregation problem," the Commissioner said. "Your class reflects the diversity that we knew could be achieved if we offered a challenging program and opened it to everyone to apply." Some of the students are from Englewood while others have been attracted from surrounding communities.
"Your new school exists thanks to the leadership and creativity of talented and dedicated people from municipal, county, state and federal governments who worked with educators at the state and local levels," Dr. Librera said.
Specifically, the Commissioner praised Governor James E. McGreevey for his support of the career academy concept of education and his commitment to make career academies available as a choice to students throughout New Jersey.
The Commissioner also praised Dr. John Grieco, superintendent of the Bergen County Vocational School District (Bergen Tech), the Bergen County Special Services School District, and the Englewood Public Schools, for exercising his leadership and expertise in academy programs in developing the Academies @ Englewood. "John Grieco has brought to this initiative all of his expertise with academy programs and worked tirelessly to both develop this academy plan and to see that it happened for this school year," Librera said.
Librera also praised Bergen County Executive William "Pat" Schuber, "who very much deserves to be credited for recognizing that this is an opportunity for all of Bergen County and not just the City of Englewood." The Commissioner also praised Mayor Paul T. Fader and City Manager Robert Benecke for their commitment to "having sound public schools that will challenge all children and will produce results that everyone can be proud of."
Librera said, "What is happening here will ultimately improve the quality of life for all citizens of Englewood and the surrounding communities."
In addition to providing new educational opportunities for students in Englewood and its surrounding communities, the Academies @ Englewood represents the regions response to longstanding problems of desegregation. The 114 ninth graders in the high school program were selected from 252 applicants and are evenly divided among white, African-American, Asian-American and Hispanic students. The school will be staffed by 21 teachers who were chosen from 330 applicants.
The Academies @ Englewood will serve as the "magnet" portion of the overall academic program at Dwight Morrow High School, operating as a school within the school. In grade 9, programs in technology and science will be complemented by rigorous classes in language arts literacy and mathematics. As the students advance through their high school years, students will be exposed to a new and challenging curriculum and the magnet will expand to other grades.
Providing a high quality and attractive magnet program at the high school level has prompted the Englewood Public Schools to improve teaching and learning in the earlier grades. These local initiatives are known as the Englewood Public School Renewal Project, the Junior Academies @ Englewood (a pre-kindergarten program) and a project to expand and improve technology-based instruction.
The Academies @ Englewood will operate with funding in 2002-03 blended from local, county, state and federal sources.
Commissioner Librera told the Class of 2006 that they have a special role. "You are the students that set the example for those that follow. I challenge you to demonstrate academic excellence throughout your four years so that you receive a world-class education, and you pave the way for others to have the same opportunity."

The inside story on emergencies
Career and technical education, or CTE, is a broad area that covers subjects such as agriculture, business, information technology, and health sciences. Though
Rieker R1483 Liv 83 Pcelo
is the preferred term for these educators, in some states they are referred to as vocational, occupational, technical professional, or career tech teachers.
Many states have options that allow prospective career and technical education (CTE) teachers to substitute previous experience and education for the typical bachelor's degree requirement. The most commonly adopted guidelines for prospective CTE educators allow individuals who have sufficient experience and knowledge in their CTE subject and have secured an offer of employment from a school district to teach full-time under a provisional certificate while being mentored by an experienced teacher.
A common requirement for those on this pathway is to fulfill a professional development plan that includes supplemental coursework in teaching standards and strategies. Successful completion of these requirements and any testing requirements adopted by the state can allow these teachers to advance from a provisional teaching certificate to a regular teaching certificate.
Also known as limited teaching certificates or licenses, emergency and provisional certificates are most commonly encountered in states that have severe shortages of teachers in one or more subject areas (frequently
Karen Satin Jeweled Ankle Strap Bow Back PeepToe Pumps knrdtdl
, , and English as a second language ) or in low-income school districts. These certificates may allow those who have sufficient education and experience and can demonstrate deep knowledge in a content area to teach without completing a teacher preparation program. These types of teaching licenses are generally limited in duration (one school year is common), cannot be renewed, and in most states cannot be used as a pathway to full licensure. However, in states that have portfolio evaluation or experience equivalency pathways, teaching under this type of certificate may help individuals launch their teaching careers.
Though less common than the routes outlined above, a few states do have pathways that include teacher training within a school district, or with supplemental coursework in lieu of a full-time teacher preparation program, that lead to teacher licensure. Individuals may receive a provisional or limited certificate to teach while completing a teaching mentorship and training program. In states that allow this approach, the school district may recommend those who excel in teaching practice and complete the mentorship and training program for full licensure.

. Some people, for example, like to stimulate themselves by using a showerhead on their clitoris or rubbing their vulva against a pillow.
State Rep. Jessica Farrar, a Houston Democrat, has filed House Bill 4260, which would fine men $100 for masturbating.
Find out how you can put this story on your website .
When it comes to issues related to health, state Rep. Jessica Farrar says that men should have to undergo the same "unnecessary" and "invasive" procedures that she says Texas women are subjected to under recently passed state laws.
That's why the the Houston Democrat on Friday filed
Rieker D7477 Santana 77 NsbUwlXMZ
, which would fine men $100 for masturbating and create a required booklet for men with medical information related to the benefits and concerns of a man seeking a vasectomy, a Viagra prescription or a colonoscopy. The bill would also let doctors invoke their "personal, moralistic, or religious beliefs" in refusing to perform an elective vasectomy or prescribe Viagra, among other proposed requirements in the bill.
While Farrar knows her "proposed satirical regulations" will not become law, she hoped the bill's filing would at least foster a deeper discussion about what should be a priority during session years.
"What I would like to see is this make people stop and think," Farrar told The Texas Tribune. "Maybe my colleagues aren't capable of that, but the people who voted for them, or the people that didn't vote at all, I hope that it changes their mind and helps them to decide what the priorities are."
The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one .
Farrar said her bill, titled the "Man's Right To Know Act," takes the argument that "we're looking at the sanctity of life," a term that has already been highly debated this legislative session as several Texas Republicans have proposed legislation aimed at abortions.
"Protecting the life of unborn children should not be a controversial issue," state Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, said last month .
In proposing a fine for masturbation, Farrar says that if a man's semen is not used to create a pregnancy, "then it's a waste ... because that semen can be used — and is to be used —for creating more human life."
Farrar continued: "Men have to answer for their actions and so forth. So if there's going to be an emission, it would have to be done in a hospital where the semen could be preserved for future pregnancies or it would be directly deposited into the vagina of a woman."
HB 4260 also calls for informed consent for elective vasectomies, colonoscopy procedures and Viagra prescriptions. Consent is informed only if at least 24 hours have passed since a man's initial health care consultation for the procedure or prescription. The bill would also require a rectal exam before administering an electivevasectomy or colonoscopy procedure, or prescribing Viagra — an exam that the bill acknowledges is medically unnecessary.

HMRC plans VAT crackdown
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has said that it will be launching a campaign to target businesses that are trading above the VAT threshold but have not registered for the tax.
The new crackdown is intended to take place later this summer.
The initiative is currently being discussed with "interested parties" so that HMRC has sufficient information in order to go head with the campaign.
Mike Wells, HMRC's director of risk and intelligence, said: "Our aim is to get as much input as possible into our future campaigns so that the views and experience of people and organisations outside the department play a fuller part in what we design for customers.
"We are already in contact with a number of interested parties and I expect many more to contact us with their views before we finalise the design of the VAT initiative.
"This will be the model for all our future campaigns and we look forward to being even more open about the compliance activity HMRC is undertaking to ensure we reduce the tax gap and help customers pay what they owe."
At present, the VAT threshold is £73,000 turnover on a rolling annual basis. In 2006/07, it was £61,000; in 2007/08, it was £64,000; in 2008/09, it was £67,000; in 2009/10, it was £68,000; and in 2010/11, it was £70,000.

Keys Sets School Mark with 94-Yard Touchdown Run
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Yale posted plenty of impressive numbers on offense and defense Saturday en route to a 53-12 win over Columbia at the Yale Bowl, Class of 1954 Field. The Bulldogs' 569 yards of offense included a school record-breaking 94-yard run for a touchdown by junior tailback Kahlil Keys in the third quarter. This was the most points Yale had scored in a game since scoring 62 against Towson in 2003, and marked the fourth time in seven games this season that Yale scored 30 or more points.
"I'm really proud of the effort today," said Tony Reno, Yale's Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Football, whose team snapped a three-game losing streak. "This was the best week of practice we have had all year. That says a lot about the character of this team."
Yale's first scoring drive, which ended with a 46-yard field goal by junior punter/placekicker Kyle Cazzetta, featured two third-down conversion passes from senior quarterback Henry Furman -- one to sophomore wide receiver Sebastian Little and one to senior wide receiver Cameron Sandquist. Cazzetta's field goal tied his career long.
Furman, returning from an injury that sidelined him for last week's loss at Penn, completed 22 of 30 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns.
"I've never been an 'injury' guy, so that was hard," said Furman. "You see what our offense is capable of when we take care of the ball and do what we're supposed to do."
Meanwhile, Columbia got only two first downs on its first two possessions against the Yale defense. The Bulldogs increased their lead to 10-0 by driving 62 yards in 10 plays on their third possession of the game, capped by a 10-yard touchdown run for freshman tailback Candler Rich. By the end of the first quarter, the Bulldogs already had 137 yards of offense -- including 109 passing yards for Furman, who had utilized five different receivers while completing 11 of 14 passes. Junior wide receiver Deon Randall had four of those catches and was on his way to a 10-catch day for 88 yards.
Yale (4-3, 2-2 Ivy League) hit a bump in the road five plays into the second quarter, when Columbia linebacker Brian East grabbed a tipped pass for an interception and returned it 27 yards for a touchdown. The Lions missed the extra point, but were within 10-6.
After the Yale defense forced the fourth Columbia punt of the day, the Yale offense went back to work. Rich had a 15-yard run and a 16-yard catch as the Elis drove from their 18 to the Columbia 26. From there, play action freed up Randall in the end zone for a perfectly placed pass from Furman. Cazzetta's extra point made it 17-6 Yale with just less than eight minutes left in the half.
A fourth-down conversion run by Keys enabled the Bulldogs to drive for another touchdown before halftime. Keys' five-yard run on fourth-and-one from the Columbia 31 was followed four plays later by a 12-yard scoring toss from Furman to Rich, who leaped into the end zone with 53 seconds remaining in the half. That was Rich's first career touchdown reception.
The Yale defense stopped the final Lions possession of the first half at the Eli 40. By that point the Bulldogs had limited the two Columbia quarterbacks, Kelly Hilinski and Trevor McDonagh, to just five completions on 18 attempts.
"Our goals every week are to stop the run and limit big plays," said Reno. "We -- for the most part -- did that today."
The Yale defense's dominant effort continued on the first Lion drive of the second half, as a sack by senior defensive end Beau Palin stopped Columbia at its own 29-yard line. From there, a bad snap on the punt forced punter Tyler Feely to tuck the ball and run, with junior wide receiver Grant Wallace tackling him at the Columbia 24. Five plays later, Rich ran the ball in from two yards out for a touchdown and a 30-6 lead. Rich would finish with 101 yards and two touchdowns.
Columbia (0-7, 0-4 Ivy League) had just crossed into Yale territory on its third drive of the second half (only the second time all day the Lions offense had made it across the 50) when sophomore linebacker Andrew Larkin brought the drive to a halt with an interception that he returned to midfield. The Eli offense immediately followed that up with a 50-yard touchdown pass from Furman to Wallace that made the score 37-6 with 3:50 remaining in the third quarter.
The Lions got as far as the Yale 48 on the next drive, but a tackle for loss by freshman defensive end Victor Egu knocked them back to their own side of the field, and two plays later they punted.
Pinned back at their own six, the Bulldogs handed the ball to Keys again -- and he burst through a wide-open hole, headed to the right sideline and took off for the 94-yard touchdown. It was the longest play in the modern era of Yale football and Keys' first career touchdown. The previous record had been a 93-yard run by Denny McGill '57 vs. Dartmouth in 1956. Keys' dash also tied for the ninth-longest run in Ivy League history. It was part of a 186-yard third quarter for the Bulldogs' offense.
Yale began working in many reserves in the fourth quarter. A Columbia fumble on a Yale punt was recovered by sophomore strong safety Cole Champion at the Lions 29. The Bulldogs kept the ball on the ground from there, with senior tailback Tate Harshbarger totaling 14 yards. Cazzetta kicked a 35-yard field goal with 10:15 to play.
Harshbarger capped the day off with a 14-yard touchdown with 6:30 to play. That sparked an emotional celebration from his teammates, who recognize the effort that Harshbarger has put in behind the scenes -- especially after suffering a serious injury in a junior varsity game three years ago. They all raced down to mob him near the end zone after his score.
"I can't say enough about how tight of a team this is," said Furman. "Take someone like Tate Harshbarger, who takes six classes and is up working until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning … that kid is the hardest worker on the team. I'm so proud of him for getting in the zone."
Columbia got a 23-yard touchdown pass from McDonagh to wide receiver Ryan Flannery with 4:02 to play to make the final score 53-12.
The Bulldogs limited the Lions to just 28 yards rushing on 23 attempts (a 1.2 yard per carry average) and got four sacks.
Next Saturday Yale hosts Brown, which just beat Penn 27-0 to knock the Quakers out of a first-place tie in the Ivy League standings.

Author Notes: For this week's challenge, I decided to riff on the old classic Prime Rib Roast with Horseradish Cream. It's a dish I've always loved, but rarely prepare as the time and expense involved suggest it for special occasions. This sized down version of the old chestnut is made with marinated sliced sirloin wrapped around some fresh basil, then slathered with a horseradish-lemon cream sauce after spending a few quick minutes in a grill pan. Serve a few skewers per person as the protein in a full meal, or as little bites at a party, either way, your gang will be begging for more.
—Oui, Chef
Food52 Review: Oui, Chef's clever riff on the traditional Sunday roast had our mouths watering before we even fired up the stove. His marinated sirloin roll-ups are tender and succulent, and the rosemary skewers make for a pretty sensational presentation. The horseradish cream is tangy and lush, with a dual zip from both pink peppercorns and the prepared horseradish. It's up to you and your taste buds, but we used the maximum amount of horseradish. Because that's how we roll. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2
Sirloin steak about 1 1/2 inches thick and cut into 1/8" thin planks against the grain
rosemary skewers (or metal skewers) per steak
tablespoons dijon mustard
cloves garlic, finely minced
tablespoon soy sauce
teaspoon finely minced fresh thyme
teaspoon pimenton
cup EVOO
cup creme fraiche
tablespoons heavy cream
Microplaned zest of 1 lemon
tablespoons prepared horseradish (or more to taste)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
large basil leaves
- Make the marinade by whisking together the mustard, garlic, soy, thyme, pimenton and EVOO. Set aside. This will make enough marinade for 2 steaks. Each steak will make 9-10 "rolls".
- For the horseradish sauce, whisk together the creme fraiche, cream, horseradish, and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with a few pink peppercorns if you have them, and set aside.
- Slice the sirloin against the grain into 1/8" thick planks. It helps to throw the steak into the freezer to firm up for 45 minutes to I hour before you attempt to slice it this thin.
- Brush each slice of steak on both sides with the marinade, place on a platter, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Prep your rosemary skewers by peeling off the lower leaves and sharpening the naked end of a few sprigs. Lay each marinated steak strip on a cutting board and top with fresh basil leaves. Roll tightly and skewer onto the rosemary sprigs, leaving some breathing room between each "roll". Wrap the exposed rosemary leaves in some aluminum foil to keep them from getting totally charred when you cook the skewers.
- Pre-heat a grill pan over high heat, and when very hot, coat with a thin layer of canola oil. Lay each skewer into the pan with the foiled ends hanging out, lower the heat a touch, press the meat down into the pan with some tongs and cook for about 1:30-2:00 minutes per side.
- Remove the skewers to a cutting board, sprinkle lightly with a fleur de sel (Maldon would be lovely), and serve with the horseradish cream.

PITTSBURGH -- Now in his third NFL season, former Bowie State running back Isaac Redman has become a big part of the Pittsburgh Steelers backfield, starting five games and leading the Ravens' AFC North rivals with 84 carries. But heading into Sunday night, Redman is one of three running backs the Ravens must prepare for.
Rashard Mendenhall, Pittsburgh's leading rusher the past three seasons, is questionable for Sunday's game at Heinz Field. But Redman said he expects Mendenhall to join Jonathan Dwyer and him in a crowded backfield.
"This is probably going to be our first game where all three of us are capable of going out there," said Redman, a native of Paulsboro, N.J. "So I'm not even sure how the rotation is going to work."
Mendenhall missed Pittsburgh's first three games as he worked his way back from a knee injury he suffered in January. He started two games in early October, rushing for 74 yards on 19 carries, but he has since been sidelined with an Achilles injury. Dwyer missed two games with a quad injury, coincidentally when Mendenhall was active. Meanwhile, Redman missed time with an injury of his own, sitting out a pair of wins in late October with an ankle injury. He has 295 rushing yards and two touchdowns in seven games.
"It's been an up-and-down season for me," Redman said. "I've been dealing with injuries, but I'm fighting back. I had a pretty good game against the [New York] Giants. And [on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs], I didn't feel like I played too well. I had a fumble. Hopefully I can get on the right track this week."
Redman had a career-high 147 rushing yards against the Giants. But after he lost a fumble in the first half of the 16-13 overtime win over the Chiefs, Dwyer ended up getting more carries, rushing for 56 yards on 19 carries.
Dwyer leads the team with 355 rushing yards. The Steelers also have Chris Rainey, an electric rookie scatback who has gained 107 total yards on 26 touches. Mendenhall will likely be the team's lead back once he is healthy enough to carry the load. But either way, the Ravens must prepare for more than just Mendenhall this week.
"It's different. Since I've been here, it's always been Rashard carrying most of the load and me backing him up," said Redman, whose fourth-quarter touchdown on a screen pass proved to be the difference in Pittsburgh's 13-10 win at M&T; Bank Stadium two seasons ago. "Now we have three guys that are capable of playing."
In other injury news, Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, who missed Monday's game against the Chiefs with an ankle injury, said he won't practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he will try to give it a go on Friday.
"We're going to evaluate it and see where I'm at Friday," he said. "And hopefully it can be a great comeback."

We went to my daughter's for dinner tonight, obviously taking Jemima.
I let her have a sniff around outside when we arrived, but she didn't do anything.
Twice during the evening she went to the door. I took her out and she wee'd both times.
I don't think for one second she is housetrained, but thought it was a mighty effort from a very young puppy.

While reading the Parents Television Council's latest report: The "New" Tube: A Content Analysis of YouTube—the Most Popular Online Video Destination, I kept thinking of Supreme Court Justice William Brennan's eloquent dissent to Pacifica vs. FCC. The 1978 ruling upheld the Federal Communications Commission's sanctioning of a radio station for broadcasting George Carlin's "seven dirty words" routine, but Brennan did not concur. "There are many who think, act, and talk differently from the Members of this Court, and who do not share their fragile sensibilities," he wrote. "It is only an acute ethnocentric myopia that enables the Court to approve the censorship of communications solely because of the words they contain."
Back then, there was no Internet as we love it or hate it today, but Brennan wouldn't be surprised at the PTC's latest broadside, which targets the naughty pictures, sounds, and talk on Google's online video showcase. The survey finds that the top-ranking videos that appear in the sites' most frequently accessed search phrases yield "an extraordinary amount of graphic and adult-themed content." PTC wants something done about that, and about all those gnarly user comments that get posted below the vids, too.
The Council's conclusions come from an analysis of 280 YouTube offerings. When PTC inspectors searched for the term "porn," for example, over a quarter of the videos returned didn't ask for age verification, they claim. Many included ads or links to pornographic Web sites. "Clicking a link would instantly take the user to a webpage containing extremely graphic photos and videos of homosexual and heterosexual oral and anal sex," PTC complains.
The Council also does not like the words that are sometimes spoken in these videos; we could provide a list of the milder terms its inspectors found, but suspect that they were further horrified by items even we avoid using.
While the survey praises YouTube for prohibiting outright pornographic videos and "algorithmically demoting" sexually suggestive fare, the decency group criticizes the company for taking no steps to reign in user comments, which its authors find at least as disturbing as the videos themselves. From July 1, 2008 through August 5, 2008, the PTC's "analysts," as they call themselves, collected not only videos, but user remarks.
PTC's researchers did searches using what they defined as "child friendly" terms. These included "Miley Cyrus," "Jonas Brothers," "High School Musical," and "Hannah Montana," which they say resulted in "highly offensive" content in the text commentary areas below the videos produced by the search."
The Hannah Montana search supposedly picked up a variety of obscenities that indicated YouTube users have a low opinion of the character herself, and suspect her of engaging in various sexual activities. Just out of curiosity, I did my own search on the same name. Here are the first four comments below the first video that I got.
- Hannah Montana rules I love shows and music everyday I listen to her music I love the music the most I almost forgot don't let anyone bring you down like monkeygirl324 is trying to do she's jealou.
- This is the real Miley!
- i love you miley im your number 1 fan
- hey how are u?
Not exactly the most scintillating online dialogue I've run into, but pretty far from the PTC's excerpts. In any event, the group wants YouTube to take action on the terrible comments they supposedly found, "by formulating and adopting a thorough, accurate and transparent content rating system which would allow a parent to block a child from viewing age-inappropriate material."
Because YouTube is an Internet service, the Council can't launch the same kind of complaint-driven pressure campaign that it constantly runs against broadcast TV using the FCC's indecency rules. But it can still conduct a moral pressure campaign on advertisers. "Sponsors must maintain a diligent awareness of the material whose distribution they are underwriting with their advertising dollars," the document's conclusion warns.
Apparently, it did not occur to PTC's analysts that the Hannah Montana commentaries they cite may have been written by the very children that the morals group says it wants to protect. Frankly, the comments' tone reminds me of some the more heated comments that occasionally get posted in response stories at Ars Technica. Ars isn't about to implement a system that censored posts without considering their content, and I wouldn't want one the world's most popular Web sites pressured into cooking up a filtering system that blocks words that are used by millions of passionate people to express themselves online about politics and government.
Pacifica vs. FCC, Justice Brennan predicted, will have its biggest impact on broadcasters seeking to reach people "who do not share the Court's view as to which words or expressions are acceptable and who, for a variety of reasons, including a conscious desire to flout majoritarian conventions, express themselves using words that may be regarded as offensive by those from different socio-economic backgrounds."
"In this context," he added, "the Court's decision may be seen for what, in the broader perspective, it really is: another of the dominant culture's inevitable efforts to force those groups who do not share its mores to conform to its way of thinking, acting, and speaking."

Think about it, fellas. How many times are you stopped on the street by a complete stranger who tells you you're looking great.
Never, you say?
Put on a distinctive hat this summer and I guarantee you'll acquire an instant fashion fan club.
"Wow, cool!" is just one of the many raves Jerry Bauman has heard as he strolls the city in one of the handmade Panama hats he's bought from Optimo, among the nation's premier hat shops.
"Wearing a hat is not a statement, it's an assertion. It's about your attitude to the world," says Bauman, 75, a CPA who never leaves home without one.
"I get a lot of compliments," says software engineer Curtis Tuckey, 47, as he sipped a drink at an outdoor cafe sporting the jaunty Panama hat he bought on a trip to Buenos Aires.
Wearing a hat comes naturally, Tuckey says, because he grew up on a farm in Michigan. "We always wore straw hats when we were working in fields in the summertime baling hay. My grandfather always wore a straw hat."
And unlike a baseball cap, the preferred hat of most men, "They give shade over the ears and the back of the neck," says Tuckey.
"It makes me feel elegant," observes Mark Warden, 73, the retired president of Richard J. Daley College, one of the City Colleges of Chicago, sporting a $1,200 Panama he, too, bought at Optimo, a 15-year-old shop in Chicago's Beverly neighborhood.
Warden's wife, Mary Beth Rebedeau, 54, a management consultant, says, "Men look so finished in a hat. It tops off how they look." And, yes, she frequently borrows her spouse's hat to top off her own look.
Entrepreneur Mil Ovan, 54, says strangers often tell him, "I wish I had the courage to wear that."
It's not really courage that's required, says Optimo shop owner and hatter Graham Thompson. It's having the will and the sense of style.
"Everybody who wants to wear a hat can wear a hat," says Thompson, 39, who often travels to Montecristi, Ecuador, where the world's finest straw is woven for the hats he sells, starting at $450.
"When you start wearing nice hats and you 'get it,' you cannot go back," says Thompson. "Once it becomes part of your life, you're a lifetime hat wearer."
Thompson, who started his business straight out of college, makes the distinction between confirmed hat wearers and the hipsters who pick up a small-brimmed topper for $15 at Target and are enjoying the fad for a couple months.
"Lots of younger customers, maybe their fathers didn't but their grandfathers did wear hats, and they're bringing them back into the family tradition," says Thompson, whose hats have appeared in films like "Public Enemies" on Johnny Depp's John Dillinger character.
I asked Thompson to come up with some adjectives that define a hat wearer, and he thought for a minute.
"Suave, cool, distinguished, a sense of adventure. It depends on who's wearing the hat and how they're wearing it," he says.
"When I see people wearing nice straw hats," says Thompson, "They're enjoying their summer more."
Choosing your hat
Pick what's comfortable and makes you feel confident.
Crown height and brim width should not overwhelm your face and build.
Fit the hat to your personality and personal style.
When to take it off?
When you're eating.
In the office.
In a crowded room.
In a place of worship.
In the rain or wind (if it's straw).

Tomas and I frantically assembled our defense turrets before the next Alien Swarm could arrive. His sentry gun was nearly complete, but my missile turret was taking longer than expected. The metal grating beneath our feet began to move and a large trap door in the factory floor split open to make way for a rising platform.
Two sentient robot cars emerged from the darkness below. Tomas and I knew this was our only chance, and we each jumped onto a car. I positioned myself on the roof of the blue Dodge Challenger as quickly as I could, tucking my legs into the open windows on either side. Just as I was seated, the car peeled out with a roar of acceleration. Tires screeched and the car blasted out of the factory into a dirt field, hurling dry soil and clods of grass into the air behind us.
Tomas' car wasn't far behind and the two machines began weaving in and out of each others path, tearing through the countryside in a playful game of chase. We blew passed my parents' house in Cottonwood and I leaned to the left, guiding the car in a tight turn that tossed a wave of gravel in our wake. I underestimated the car's path and found myself in a collision course with a white wooden fence.
I closed my eyes and the car smashed through, hitting a dip in the ground and pitching up sideways. Throwing my arms out to the side I ditched, leaving the car to tumble sideways and roll over and over in a chaotic crash of sheering metal and broken glass.
I picked myself up off the ground, brushing dirt from my clothes and hair. A shadow fell across the ground in front of me and I turned to see MC Hammer.
"You're in trouble now!" he said. "I told you not to be messin' with my cars. Now you're grounded. No going to the docks for you!"
I hung my head in disappointment and shame.

Technovestor needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 4 freelance designers.
We're a real estate investment and marketing company the buys houses apartments, mobile homes and land from motivated sellers. We're looking for a logo that stands out, a bit humorous and not as serious as most company logos.
Our target audience is motivated homeowners with incomes less than $45,000 per year in the US. Just so you have an idea, the average family income is about $35,000, which is our primary market.
They will typically be someone who has recently lost a job, death in the family, illness, drugs, etc. So our offer of fast "fat" cash should appeal to them.
We don't want to limit the creativity at all. So we'll keep this to a minimum. We like colors that really stand out, so we prefer yellow and red. We will need green and maybe black to represent "cash".
The logo must have our number in it 800-Fat-Cash. The logo should tie the phone number with buying houses. And we're thinking that the "cash" should somehow be fat or give the impression that its fat. This kind of makes it
Again, not wanting to limit the creativity and this maybe a bit challenging, but we're sure it can be done.
The logo will be used on websites, embroidery and signs.
Again, the logo can be a bit funny but catchy. A lot of the bbq logos are pretty good. You can take a look at the link below:
Some of these logos are too complicated, but you can get a general feel for what we're looking for. If this will limit your creativity, don't look at the link above.

The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, CSU must reserve the right, even after initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fee, without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees.
Students who wish to drop units AND to simultaneously or subsequently add the same number of units to accomplish this exchange may do so without financial penalty in Tuition Fees, provided this exchange in units meets all other signature requirements. This activity may not occur later than 14 days from the first day of instruction.
