From My Experience. (I've pretty much done nothing but work on motors all my life. In 1952 at 8 yo I was flying 1/2 A control line model airplanes with those little Cox .049 motors. If you could make those little things run you can probably make any thing run. Read every word of every Rod and Custom and HotRod magazine.
First car was a "49 Ford flathead V8. Put 3 Stromberg 97s on it with scavenger pipes. Thought I was cool. Had a "53 Belair Convertable. "59 Belair Hard Top, "65 GTO and a "68 Dodge Charger R/T 440 Magnum 375 HP. USAF Missle Electronics Guidance and Control Technician. Not quite rocket science, but pretty close. Opened my auto repair shop in "72 and averaged more than 2 major overhauls a week from "72 to "90, mostly air cooled VWs. Built a 440 for my 360 Dodge Maxi Van, Put a turbo on a VW Bus, built a motor for a Formula V race car, built a 4 carb Corvair for a Porsche 912, built buggy motors with two 2 barrel Webers (Webers are great) and Delortos. In "91/"92 ran a Cat 963 Track Loader at McMurdo Station in Antarctica. Closed my shop in "95 and went to work for a rental equipment co/ John Deere Dealer untill I retired. Finished 10th in the Texas State Enduro Circuit(250 class) in "74. Finished 9th in the Texas State Trials Championship Master Class in "76. Rides in Colorado, Mexico, New Mexico, Arkansas, Contintal Divide Trail and ~ 1/3 of the TAT.) Sorry for the long winded list of credits,got carried away and memory lane is just fun.
Again, From My Experience. When you walk up on an cold bike that's been sitting for a few days or months, more than likely it's in a lean condition. It's probably not gonna start like that. Now, you can either apply the choke and kick/crank from that lean condition untill you get it rich enough to start or some how add enough fuel ( pumper squirt or pour some gas down the carb throat/remove the plug and add fuel) to make it a little rich and open the throttle to add air and kick/crank untill it gets lean enough to start. Down in Antarctica when it was 60 below zero and the big diesels wouldn't start we would soak a shop towel with gas and wrap it around the air filter. Knocked like hell, but it got em started. I don't recommend doing that. I'm sure you have had trouble starting your weed eater or mower after it has been sitting all winter, Dump the old gas, add fresh gas, pull the plug and put a LITTLE gas in the plug hole, open the throttle all the way and crank. It may only run a few seconds untill the prime is gone, but then it's in the right air/fuel condition to start. Works good for bikes too. Of course all of this assumes the rest of the motor is in good operating condition. BIG ASSUMPTION. So you guys with the e-start or pumper carbs have a little advantage (as long as you don't flood them) when it comes to starting. The kick start models with the CV carbs are gonna be the harder to start. That's why Greg says he kicks his through several times to prime it before he trys to start it. But then the guys with the CV carbs are gonna get better gas mileage and better altitude compensation. There are always trade offs. Hope this helps.

Ever since that Abella Anderson post from yesterday, I can't get sexy Latinas out of my head!
The only cure for a cognitive itch like this sexy Latina itch is to scratch it. So today, I'm scratching my sexy Latina itch with the absolutely gorgeous Latina Megan Salinas.
We've yet to feature Megan Salinas on this sex blog, which is a massive oversight on my part.
Hailing from the great state of Texas, Megan Salinas is a petite babe with incredible natural 32D breasts. Enjoy this massive collection of Megan Salinas pictures and GIFs!
Ahhh…that's better. Now I'm not obsessed with sexy Latinas, just Megan Salinas.
Although, it's somewhat bittersweet because after debuting in porn earlier this year, Megan Salinas is already retired. Oh well, the fact that she's retired won't stop me from sharing all of Megan's old pictures and videos whenever I come across them because let's face it, she's freaking gorgeous. Keep your fingers crossed for a comeback!
Like all things in life, Megan Salinas's untimely departure from the porn industry can be best expressed with Drake's music.

Slotted rotors improve brake performance by sweeping away the friction dust
and gas that is trapped between the rotor and pad. Slots give you more pad bite
and fast brake response under extreme conditions. All slotted rotors (except
for hub rotor assemblies) are silver zinc plated to resist rust. Slotted rotors
are best suited for auto-cross, off road and track racing. Slotted rotors are
exceptionally good for high speed stopping power.

With computer-generated special effects all the rage, and disaster movie crowd scenes packed with virtual "synthespians" rather than real extras, you might think that the age of the heroic stuntman and woman is over, with actors and actresses not far behind. But a little known branch of science - "stuntology" - has come to the rescue.
Physicists, computer specialists and engineers create the techniques and equipment to make hitherto impossible stunts safe for real people, scoring one over virtual reality. In Australia this month there is even an applied physics workshop in Sydney for those who want to get a car airborne, crash it through a neon advertising sign, and survive.
How did stuntology take off? In spectacular style, with James Bond and an astonishing sequence in

FOR the first time, researchers have persuaded adult mice to grow new hair follicles. They say their achievement may lead to alternative treatments for hair loss.
In people, the pattern of hair follicles on the skin appears early in embryonic development, and no new ones develop after birth. New hairs are created when the follicles draw on stores of undifferentiated cells, and many types of baldness occur when these stem cell reserves are eventually exhausted.
Hormone creams that stimulate dormant follicles to produce hair again are already available, and doctors have carried out follicle transplants. But these treatments for baldness have only had limited success, and until now no one has been able to generate new follicles in adult skin.
A few years ago, Elaine Fuchs and her colleagues at the University of Chicago discovered that embryonic cells destined to become follicles express a protein called Lef-1. They also learnt ...

Is Your Future Still a Puzzle?
Only you can solve the puzzle of who you are and where you're going, but if you make good educational choices, finding the missing pieces and fitting them all together will be a much easier task.
Take a look inside and read about six entrepreneurs who found important pieces of their puzzles at Glendale Community College. You just might find that GCC is the best place to start solving your own.
Student Outreach Services (SOS) is here to help you get started. Call SOS: (818) 240-1000 ext. 3031 or visit our web site: www.glendale.edu/sos
Start Solving it at GCC!
Dr. Aris Minas & Dr. Arthur Jordan—
Cañada Dental Group
About 30 years ago and half a world away, young Arthur Jordan and Aris Minas stood right next to each other as they posed for their kindergarten class photo. Years later, they graduated in the same class from Glendale High School, but it was only after they enrolled in the same biology class at GCC that they got to know one another, became friends and started on the path that would lead them to open a business together.
"That's where we met; Biology 101," they said in unison. "We both majored in biology, but it took some time before we settled on dentistry for our careers," Dr. Minas recalled.
"Once you set your mind on a certain profession, it takes many, many years of commitment to complete your education," said Dr. Jordan. "In my opinion, you have to know it's something you really want to do before you actually get into it."
Since he was interested in science and medicine, Arthur began volunteering at a hospital ER while he was still a student at GCC. "It helped me realize that dealing with life and death is not my thing," he confided. "Then I tried volunteering at a dental office. I liked it, and slowly put myself on the path to dental school."
That path led both Arthur and Aris to transfer to UCLA where they spent two years as roommates. "We were really well prepared by our experience at GCC, so our transition to the university went very smoothly. In fact, we got even better grades at UCLA than we did at GCC," said Aris. The USC School of Dentistry was their next step, and they graduated in 2006.
"We worked in different dental offices for a few years but frequently talked to each other about our experiences," explained Dr. Jordan. "We realized that we have very similar goals and mentalities, so when the opportunity came for us to open our own business, we took it."
And where better to locate their new dental office than right across the street from Glendale College? "It makes perfect sense for us to be here," said Dr. Minas. We live here in Glendale, our families are here; this is the community we want to serve and give back to."
"A lot of people have doubts about going to community college, but it was one of the best things I ever did," Dr. Minas recalled. "The transition from high school to GCC was crucial for me. It was a wake-up call, but the one-on-one access to faculty members and the small class sizes really helped me find my way."
"Glendale College is a great place to start your journey," said Dr. Jordan. "In today's world, everyone should have a bachelor's degree, or at least an AA, and GCC lets you look into different fields and see what works for you. It's a great place to start."
Lourdes D. Wilson—
Wilson Law Group, P.C.
Sowing the seeds for a rewarding career can be done in many different ways, but it often happens unintentionally, one little kernel at a time. When Lourdes Wilson was a young Barrister at John Marshall High School, she never intended to pursue a career in law, but her involvement in student government spawned an interest that would eventually take root and grow.
"I was planning on going into medicine; my mom was a nurse and I was thinking of becoming a doctor," Lourdes recalled. "I came to Glendale College so I'd be able to explore my options without incurring a ton of debt, but after taking some biology and calculus classes, I discovered that medicine probably wasn't for me."
Since she had enjoyed student government at Marshall, she pursued it again at GCC and was elected to several positions, including VP of Finance. "Working with the ASGCC advisors, I started getting excited about political science," she said, "and after I transferred to Cal State LA, it became my major for my bachelor's degree."
Her coursework at CSULA included some pre-law classes, and "I found that I really loved it. That's when I decided to go to law school," she said.
"Academics wasn't always my strong suit," Lourdes confided. "I wasn't as good of a student as I could have been in high school, and I took my time figuring out what I wanted to do at GCC. But, once I realized that I wanted to go to law school, I started pulling straight A's," she said.
After earning her law degree from Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, Lourdes went to work for a large downtown firm where the work involved civil litigation: contract disputes, antitrust and legal malpractice. "While I really loved the people I was working with, I was still looking for something more," she said. "So I did a lot of soul-searching to find something that would be personally more satisfying; something where I could help people without hurting others. Even though disputes are usually resolved in compromise, someone's getting the short end of the stick," she explained.
At the beginning of this year, Lourdes and a friend from law school formed a partnership and opened their own firm, specializing in elder law and estate planning. "It's an area where the ultimate goal is to help your client gain something, but no one has to hurt as a result."
"I think I built the foundation and desire to be an entrepreneur while I was in student government," she said. "I really loved the business aspect of it—creating budgets, dealing with people—it's a lot like running a small business."
"Thankfully I started at GCC. There are people there who can help you find your path without it being so costly to try different things."
Hala Shamas—
Event Mode
Even though she was an "A" student at Burbank High School, when the time came to graduate, Hala Shamas still wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her life. "I decided to go to community college and figure it out from there," she said.
Like any good student would, Hala did her homework and found that Glendale Community College had some of the best transfer rates in the region. She also visited the campus, talked with the counselors and polled her friends. Some lived as far away as Van Nuys, but planned to travel the extra distance to take advantage of the advanced programs at GCC. "Glendale College would be a good place for me to start," Hala concluded.
While concentrating on general education classes during her first year, she once again took advantage of GCC's Student Services to help plan her next step. "I had an interest in marketing, so after speaking to some counselors, I decided on a business major," she said. "They steered me toward the best schools for business degrees, so I ended up applying to USC and NYU."
The Marshall School of Business at USC admitted Hala, but after her first year at the university she changed her major to global marketing. She earned a degree from the USC School of International Relations with a minor in business. "I really enjoyed the political aspect of international relations, so after graduating, I looked into going to law school," she said.
But Hala also wanted to get some work experience, so she went on a few interviews and was quickly offered a job at a home entertainment company in Burbank as a project coordinator working on DVD and Blu-ray releases for major Hollywood studios. She has since advanced to her current position as Senior Manager of Accounts, but all the while she has been developing another passion that began during her sophomore year at GCC.
"I was a senator and later the Vice President of Campus Activities in the student government," Hala explained. "We planned events for the students and I really loved it." After leaving GCC, she continued planning events and fund raisers for her church. "A few years ago I decided I had enough experience to start an event planning business, so a friend and I teamed up to form Event Mode."
Hala continues to work full time at the home entertainment company, handling most of the contracts and financial affairs for Event Mode in the evenings while her partner sees to most of their daytime appointments. "Business is growing steadily," explained Hala. "Summer is our biggest season, and this year we had to hire some part-time help. I'm hoping that in the next year or two we'll be ready to take on full-time employees."
"You don't have to know where you're going," Hala reasoned, "but if you start in a good place, you'll be able to follow your interests wherever they lead you."
Ara Adjamian & Louie Sadd—
Datastream Technology Management
Back in 1997, a couple of self-described computer geeks at Glendale High took a big chance on their future. A new school that would emphasize technology and science was about to open, and after hearing the recruitment pitch from its principal, Ara and Louie talked each other into making the move to Clark Magnet High School.
"It was a leap of faith for us," Ara remembered, "but it really paid off. They constantly pushed us to learn new technologies."
Coming of age during the computer and Internet revolution made it easy for Ara and Louie to set their career goals. "Computers were going from just being cool to becoming a necessity, so we saw a lot of opportunities there," said Louie.
While their business plans focused on computer technology, their educational goal was to attend USC. "My brother had attended Glendale College and was in the Scholars program," Ara related. "From his experience, we knew there was a good pathway to get into USC." "It gets more difficult to get in there every year," said Louie. "If you're coming out of high school, they're looking for really high GPAs, SAT scores and lots of AP classes." "That's not who we were," acknowledged Ara. "We were B+ students."
"We were really excited to attend Glendale College," Louie recalled. "We saw the bridge to USC as a done deal if we excelled there. We both knew people who had done it before us, and their examples were our inspiration."
"The Scholars program at GCC was very well organized so we knew exactly what path we needed to take," Ara continued. "The work wasn't done for us—we had to show up and make the grades—but the fact that everyone in the program was on a similar track was very motivating."
The young entrepreneurs launched their business during their first semester at GCC. They started small, but by the time they got to USC they were able to use the proceeds to help pay some of their expenses. Now they're located in a Glendale office tower and serve clients mostly in the insurance and financial services industries.
"As an outsourced IT solution, we help businesses run smarter through technology," Louie explained. "Instead of having an internal IT department, our clients pay us a flat rate to handle all their systems planning and support."
Aside from helping pave the way to USC, Louie and Ara's time at GCC was well spent. "Some of the best professors we ever had were at Glendale College," said Ara. "That's really worth noting," Louie agreed. "Any of the professors we had at Glendale College could have walked out of a classroom at USC and we wouldn't have thought twice about it. They're all very high caliber."

Mobile recycling 'helps others in need'
5 January 2009 — 3:50 PM
Mobile phone recycling is a great way to generate money to help others less fortunate, it has been suggested.
In an article posted on the Maldon and Burnham Standard's website last week, Lauren Hockney stated Christmas often sees people receiving the latest phones as gifts.
She noted this often means older devices are left sitting around unused and recommended making the best of this situation by raising money for charities such as the British Red Cross.
"Last Christmas, British households were inundated with around 11 million new mobiles and as many ended up in cupboards and bins," Ms Hockney added.
The article went on to say the green benefits to recycling mobile phones are also reason to make sure your they find a new home, as handsets that find their way to landfill can cause risk to "human health and the environment".
Last week, the Sidmouth Herald reported used mobiles could also benefit charities such as the World Cancer Research Fund, who use money generated to help people across the world.

(AFP) / 20 January 2014
Corruption allegations against former Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra are at the centre of an anti-government campaign by protesters who say that while graft is endemic his billionaire family overstepped the mark.
Thailand endures a complex relationship with corruption characterised by weak governance, opaque webs of political patronage and an expectation of under-the-table payments to get things done.
"Thai people are quite pragmatic... we understand that everybody takes a little bite of the apple," he told AFP.
"The problem with Thaksin is that he put a sign on the whole apple tree saying 'property of the Shinawatra family'... that's dangerous to do here."
The demonstrators allege Yingluck is being controlled by her brother, a tycoon-turned-politician who was ousted in a 2006 coup and lives overseas to avoid a jail term for abuse of power that he says was politically motivated.
Protesters point to accusations of wrongdoing over the former leader's business empire, as well as complaints about populist policies and alleged "vote buying" that they say explain the victories of Thaksin and his allies at every election since the start of this century.
"Thaksin has taken too much and his big mistake is that he has made it open for everyone to see," said rally supporter Rocky, 24, on the fringes of a march through an upmarket Bangkok neighbourhood last week.
Rally leaders have harnessed that indignation to package their fight as an anti-graft crusade, while urging the military and independent institutions to aid them in their attempt to block February 2 elections that Yingluck is again expected to win.
Thaksin is adored in the northern heartlands and among the urban working class, but is loathed by many among the Bangkok middle class, southerners and the royalist establishment.
Following his removal from power, the former telecoms baron was sentenced in absentia to two years in jail over a land deal involving his wife.
Then, in 2010, a Thai court confiscated around $1.4 billion — or about half of his fortune — over tax evasion linked to the sale of his telecoms company during his tenure as prime minister.
Thaksin says he is innocent of wrongdoing and the victim of manoeuvring by his political foes.
The protest leaders "use corruption claims to attract the crowd", his legal adviser Noppadon Pattama told AFP, accusing political opponents of trumping up graft claims.
"But to accuse the Shinawatra family of monopolising corruption is wholly unfounded," he added.
Criticism against the former premier has also been directed at so-called "Thaksinomics" — big-spending populist policies including free healthcare, cheap loans and a controversial rice farmer subsidy.
The rice scheme, introduced by Yingluck's government, has drawn particular ire, with claims it engendered widespread corruption and drained Thai coffers of billions of dollars just to shore up the Shinawatras' rural voter base.
The firebrand anti-government protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban — who is marshalling street rallies aimed at "shutting down" Bangkok that are now stretching into their second week — has faced allegations of corruption in the past.
As a minister for the then-ruling Democrat Party in the mid-90s, Suthep was heavily criticised over the use of a land law which resulted in rich people claiming property meant for the poor. The government dissolved parliament in the fall-out from the scandal.
However, some see Suthep's re-invention as an anti-graft hero as part of a wider public rejection of corruption.
"Suthep is not perfect... but he's changed now he is a leader and he is going to retire anyway after this movement," said 78-year-old protester Amonrat Kridakon. "Thaksin is the problem."
Statistics indicate Thailand has failed to decouple its politics from corruption.
The kingdom ranked 102nd out of 177 countries in Transparency International's latest global index of how corrupt public sectors are perceived to be — level with Moldova and behind the Philippines and India.
And a recent survey by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce found that businesses were paying between 25-35 percent of the value of contracts to grease the palms of government officials, up from 5-10 percent in 1990.
"Maybe before Thais would pay to get something done faster... there was a 'tradition' of corruption," the university's Thanavath Phonvichai told AFP.
"But the protesters realise that everything needs to change. They can't stand it anymore."

Thanks for the advice everyone. I will try all methods and hope that I can get on top of the problem.
I have just returned from holiday to find white flies all over my brussel sprouts. There is obvious damage to the top leaves and some on the Brussels themselves. Can anything be done or is it too late? Can I buy something off the shelf to remedy this? Any help much appreciated.
Thank you Bob. I will keep an eye of them now and enjoy eating my raspberries.
Not sure if you can see these photos but here goes!
Thanks. I have photos but not sure how to get them onto this site. Any ideas?
I don't think they were ladybird larvae unfortunately, nor did it look like a raspberry beetle. Totally stumped!!!!
Thanks for that. I won't need to get rid and start again then, she asks hopefully ! Is there a spray I can use?
I have a bumper crop of raspberries this year, growing glen moy and glen ample. I have noticed brown crusty marks on the tops when I pick them. the leaves on my plants seem to be being eaten away too. I have fed and watered the plants regularly. I also noticed a bug under a leaf, 3 or 4 mm long black with orange markings. Could this be my problem? If so, what is it and can the problem be cured.
Yours hopefully
Do we have to do anything different to the usual Autumn care for our lawn with it being relatively fresh turf, laid in the early summer.
They were small, straight and to be honest, I didn,t take much notice of the heads. They were definately creamy white not grey or brown.

MCC Construction Technology Annual Home Building Project
NOTE: Applications are due on Saturday, March 7, 2015
Each year MCC places an ad in the local papers inviting the public to support the MCC Construction Technology Program by contracting with us to build a house for them. We request that interested parties submit their applications by March 7, 2015. An advisory committee then reviews the applications and picks the top 2 or 3 for interviews. These parties meet with the committee and a decision is made within a few days. All applicants are notified of the results; this year notifications will be made in the second week in March.
Some conditions of the contract
The homeowner must either serve as the general contractor (GC) or hire one to work with our instructor, Russ Yarrow, on the project. The GC will work with Russ on scheduling based on the plans; permits; arranging the construction of the foundation and basement slab the summer prior to fall semester; arranging any change orders; making sure the building materials are ordered and delivered on time; arranging the sub-contractual work that we do not do (such as electrical, heating, plumbing, excavating, painting/staining); and making sure that all parties are paid on time, including the college.
Cost of the project
College personnel and students provide the services outlined below for a stipend of $10,000 (paid in 3 payments) and a $2000 expense account set up with a local building supplier for us to purchase consumable supplies and equipment needed to build the house. Therefore, the homeowner's total cost for our services is $12,000, which typically amounts to a $25,000 - $30,000 value in labor, depending on the size and style of the home.
Services provided by MCC
After the owner provided foundation and basement slab is constructed and backfilled, the program provides the carpentry labor to construct the framing, sheathing, roofing, door and window setting, and as much siding, soffit and fascia installation as possible prior to Christmas break. The house is prepared for subs to rough in their work by Christmas break allowing the plumbing, heating and electrical contractors approximately 1 month during that break to complete their work. After break, the students insulate; seal-up; hang-finish-texture the drywall; trim, including interior doors and windows, base, finish stairs, closets, fireplace surround, etc.; set cabinets and countertops; and install, but not finish, limited amounts of wood flooring.
MCC has an Open House every year at the residence to promote the program and to let the students display their work to the public. This is usually held on graduation day in early May.
How to apply
If you're interested, please submit an application and give us a detailed description of what you want your house to look like. You do not need to submit a full set of blueprints at this selection stage. A floor layout with an illustration from a plan book is sufficient. The application will ask for important information regarding square footage; basement, garage, porch or other structural modifications; roof slope, special needs, and the location of the house to be built. Please supply as much pertinent information as possible. Information concerning land acquisition and financing is important to understand your preparedness to ensure that the required work can be completed in time for the program's starting time in late summer.
Please email Russ Yarrow or call Russ at (641) 844-5757 with any questions. If you're interested, you can apply any time and we will keep your application on file until the time to submit.
Thank you for your interest in MCC's Construction Technology's Residential Carpentry Student Project.

Dear Viewers and Listeners:
You may have noticed that our premiere gardening series Making It Grow now comes to you with a modern, updated set. The "country store" has been transformed into a set that more closely resembles a home, to appeal not only to viewers with a rural lifestyle but also the urban horticulturist. A reflection of host Amanda McNulty's lively personality, the set was spearheaded by McNulty herself with help from design associates at the Brooks Center for the Performing Arts as well as funding from the S.C. Department of Agriculture and the ETV Endowment.
We are also proud to announce that Making It Grow has recently won a Telly Award in the Cultural Category for its ArtFields segment. The Telly is one of the most sought-after awards in the industry, and we congratulate Sean Flynn, Tommy Burgess, Kevin Jordan, Amanda McNulty and Ed Goodwin for their fine work on this program.
April 30 marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. ETV observes this unsettling period in our history with programs that shed light on that confusing time. Dick Cavett's Vietnam examines the war and its impact on America through interviews conducted by the iconic host. American Experience presents two specials: Last Days in Vietnam looks at the final chaotic days of the war; and My Lai examines the My Lai atrocities and cover-up. The hour-long special Draft looks at this controversial issue and how it defines a nation.
ETV Radio is holding its Spring Pledge Drive this month, beginning April 14.
If you didn't get a chance to show your support in February, now's the time… just give us a call this month!
Linda O'Bryon

Community members will have the chance to raise funds and awareness for AlzheimerŌĆÖs disease as the AlzheimerŌĆÖs Association hosts the third annual Golden Triangle Walk to End AlzheimerŌĆÖs at 2:30 p.m. Sunday on the East Mississippi Community College Mayhew campus.
Organizer Cindy Walker said registration for the event begins at 1:30 p.m. and will feature a variety of activities and educational opportunities.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll have vendors set up inside the building that will be giving information and offering resources that support AlzheimerŌĆÖs patients and caregivers,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£The Eat With Us group will be providing cookies and water for the event.ŌĆØ
Walker said a local band will provide live entertainment as well as special guests throughout the event.
ŌĆ£Coach Jim Thompkins will lead a warm up before the walk begins,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll also have someone there as a spokesperson from the caregiverŌĆÖs perspective telling their story.ŌĆØ
Mississippi AlzheimerŌĆÖs Association Executive Director Patty Dunn said the annual walks are the largest national events that help raise money and awareness for the association and the disease.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an opportunity for people who have been affected by AlzheimerŌĆÖs to come together as a community and share their stories and show support for one another,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£The walk lets people learn more about the association and the disease which gives us the opportunity to talk about our advocacy and the services we have to offer.ŌĆØ
Dunn said the event will begin with an opening promise garden ceremony and conclude with team-fundraising recognition.
ŌĆ£Participants will have the chance to walk and plant one of four flowers in our memory garden ŌĆö one color for someone suffering from the disease, one for the caregivers, one for those who have had a friend or family member pass away and one for advocates not directly affected by the disease,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖll gather at the end and give awards for teams that were successful in their fundraising endeavors and recognize the appreciation for our sponsors.ŌĆØ
Dunn said the number of participants has grown over the years, and said she is excited that awareness continues to grow.
ŌĆ£We share resources on the day of the event and people will have the opportunity to meet friends and families and learn about support groups,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs all about letting people know that the association is here to help and that they have somewhere to turn to.ŌĆØ
Dunn said AlzheimerŌĆÖs, the sixth-leading cause of death and one among the top 10 in America without a way to prevent, cure or even slow its progression, is a unique disease of which the public should be informed.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a disease unlike any other because the person who has the disease is just that ŌĆö a person ŌĆö and they are slowly being taken away from you,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£There is still such a stigma about AlzheimerŌĆÖs and the awareness from these walks helps us to eliminate some of those stigmas.ŌĆØ
Dunn said her initial, and continued, advocacy for patients and caregivers dealing with AlzheimerŌĆÖs stems from her desire to make a positive change in an individualŌĆÖs life.
ŌĆ£You hear about the struggles they are going through and we want to show how the association has been able to grow and provide better support mechanisms and education to get through these difficult times,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£You need people to lean on as early in the process as possible, and, though it might sound cliche, I get to go home and know that IŌĆÖve done something good for someoneŌĆÖs life and that makes it all worth it.ŌĆØ
Dunn said the association currently has 27 fundraising teams signed up for SundayŌĆÖs event with more teams likely to sign up on the day of the walk.
ŌĆ£We have an online fundraising system that people seem to really like using, so you can sign up online and learn a lot of information,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£You begin to see the same families year after year, and they become a part of your own family. ItŌĆÖs a very strong bond that this community shares.ŌĆØ
The Golden Triangle Walk to End AlzheimerŌĆÖs begins at 2:30 p.m. with registration at 1:30 p.m. on the EMCC Mayhew campus.

Elton John Calls On Putin To Repeal Anti-Gay Laws In Russia
Elton John has issued a scathing statement against the treatment of the gay population in Russia.
John is calling on Russian president Vladimir Putin to overturn the infamous "homosexual propaganda" bill that recently passed in Russia. He says the law has encouraged a "vicious homophobia" across the country and "given extremists the cover to abuse people's basic human rights."
The 66-year-old singer deplores "the effect that this law has had by promoting misunderstanding and ignorance."
He cites examples: "The people I met in Moscow - gay men and lesbians in their 20s, 30s and 40s - told me stories about receiving threats from vigilante groups who would 'cure' them of homosexuality by dousing them with urine or beating them up. . . . Everyone shared stories of verbal and physical abuse - at work, in bars and restaurants or in the street - since the legislation came into force last June."
John's statement, which was published on his website, comes as Russia prepares to host the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics on February 6.

Great chair 4.5 stars
Carlos L from Upland, CA
I was looking around for a chair with multiple options. For me it had to have an adjustable seat back tilt, adjustable arms up and down and side to side, adjustable seat tilt and also the option of a color of my choice. This lead me to this chair. I considered the price decent and the options to my liking. I wanted an orange like color and so I decided to pick the nano-tex Saffron which was close to what I was looking for. When I got the chair I gotta say I was quite pleased. Assembly was simple and the quality is good. My only gripes about the chair was the orange is a bit more golden in color and the chair had a weird smell to it for about two weeks or so. Since then though the smell has disappeared. The chair is very sturdy not much wobble. I like that the arm rests are a softer material, making them much more comfortable than the harder plastics I've seen on other chairs. The nano-tex works well. I threw some water on it to see if it would absorb and I was able to lift about 90% of the water. I just squeezed the rest into the napkin when I pressed down on the chair and it was dry again. The seat cushion is very nice and soft and I'm a heavy guy. The ability to change the tilt of the seat and back and other various options, make this one a keeper. A give it a solid 4.5 stars. Wish they would provide some better pictures of the chair with several different colors and materials. I bet they would sell a lot more that way.

Very comfortable, easy assembly. Good quality chair, base is very sturdy and I am happy with the look of the chair as well
Does the job
Anne Helson from Ojai, CA – Verified Buyer
This chair has patterned fabric on the seat which I did not notice before buying. I wouldn't choose it again based on the fabric. The seat tips forward slightly which I haven't found a way to adjust. Not worth returning though as it is otherwise comfortable and quite well built.

21 Pictures Of The Anti-World Cup Protests In Brazil
Brazil's sports minister said there would only be "very small" protests at this summer's World Cup, but rioting and unrest has hit several host cities on Thursday, with less than a month until kick off.
1. As many as 1,000 protesters took to the streets in Rio de Janeiro, chanting anti-World Cup slogans, as coordinated protests hit at least 12 cities on Thursday.
Protesters are calling for improved public services and claiming that the money spent to refurbish Rio's Maracanã could pay for 200 schools. At the same time, teachers in the city are striking for better pay, conditions and have since been joined by bus drivers.
It's also four months until the country's presidential elections — meaning protestors are using the spotlight of the World Cup to highlight long-held grievances.
3. Police across the country are heavily armed and armoured, with the state holding demonstrations to show off its might.
5. During a riot practice scenario a man is seen throwing a shoe at police.
The FBI has been brought to help train police in how to deal with large-scale demonstrations.
6. Protesters in Sao Paulo showed their anger at the money spent on the city's Itaquerao Stadium.
Here, a member of the Homeless Workers Movement carries a Brazilian flag past burning tires.
10. Demonstrators carried a bouquet with the message "Cup of death".
Other demonstrators hold pictures of construction workers who died during the construction of World Cup stadiums.
11. Brazil has assured the 600,000 expected foreign visitors that they will be safe.
The state has invested an unprecedented amount of money on civil and military security measures — with riot police standing ready across the country.
13. Some of the worst violence was in northeastern state of Pernambuco, where military police are striking for a 50% pay increase.
Here, a civil police officer detains alleged looters after protests turned violent. The state capital, Recife, will host five World Cup matches.
The state government has deployed elite federal police troops because of looting, car robberies and murders since the strike started, it says.
16. Civil police officers detain suspected looters in Recife.
17. The coordinated protests reached the capital, Brasilia.
18. The placard says: "As the crowd watches, the bodies of girls and women are trophies for tourists."
19. Protestors in Brasila hold up crosses bearing the names of construction workers who died building the World Cup Stadiums.
21. The banner read: "Cup for Whom? Garrincha Stadium or 13,000 Homes?"
In a speech yesterday, President Dilma Rousseff defended the country's preparations for the World Cup and called on citizens to show "the hospitality that is part of the Brazilian soul".
Sports Minister Aldo Rebelo said that the unrest isn't related to the World Cup: "From what I've seen, these are specific claims by workers. I've seen nothing that is related to the Cup."
- Tunisia's president declared a state of emergency a week after a deadly terror attack on a beach hotel.
- Some 150 migrants stranded in the French city of Calais stormed the Channel Tunnel in an attempt to make it to British territory.
- One person was killed and two others were seriously injured Friday when an air medical transport helicopter crashed in Colorado.

If you're ordering prescriptions over the internet, the FDA says you might want to be careful. Some of the companies you're ordering from could be selling you phony pills.
FDA officials say they have found up to 24 related websites that are selling counterfeit drugs.
Officials say they are part of the PharmacyCall365.com network.
Some of the samples ordered contained only talc and starch instead of the medicine that was promised.
Unfortunately, it looks like the websites are all operated outside of the US.
Local pharmacist Steve McElmurray of Park Pharmacy says you are taking a big risk ordering pills online.
"They don't know what they're getting," he said. "The capsules could be stuffed with any sort of powder. They might not dissolve properly like medicine you know you're getting."
For more information on how which websites are involved and some tips on buying prescriptions safely, click here.

'Ñoooooooooooo!!!…Que bestia!…This is what can happen when you are The Most Interesting Man in the World
Talk about epiphanies!
The tabloids dished out this Epiphany present today:
Rumor has it that Sean Penn --the Most Interesting Man in the World -- is now romantically involved with Charlize Theron, one of the world's most beautiful actresses.
If it is true, then there are many lessons to be learned from this. You figure them out.
Sean Penn is a longtime friend of Babalu. Tireless supporter of Latrine American tyrants, advocate for repression south of the border, the wealthy actor deserves our heartiest congratulations, even if the rumor proves false.
As for his alleged paramour... well, there is nothing we can say. Nothing at all.
From the Daily Mail...(Best damn source of celebrity gossip in the universe).
Charlize Theron, Sean Penn spend time together in Los Angeles after Hawaiian vacation
The Oscar-winning couple have yet to confirm a romance but they've been spotted spending a lot of time together lately.
Charlize Theron and Sean Penn were spotted together once again after their Hawaiian vacation at the top of the new year. Back from paradise, the "Snow White and the Huntsman" star and Penn, 53, spent time together in Calif., reports E! News.
The Oscar winning actors, who are longtime friends now rumored to be in a romantic relationship, were seen leaving Theron's Hollywood Hills home upon returning from their Hawaiian getaway on Jan. 2. They reportedly returned to the 38-year-old actress's abode the next day and Penn supposedly spent the night there.
On Friday, the couple were said to relocate to Penn's Malibu pad where the "Gangsta Squad" actor reportedly went for a beachside run while Theron stayed at the house to hang with her dog.

More details have come out about the legal suit and countersuit being contested between Lotus cars owner DRB-Hicom and former CEO of Lotus Dany Bahar. Bahar was brought in by Malaysian car company Proton in 2009 to turn Lotus around, and events during his tenure have made just about everyone wonder "What's going on?" That's not unusual – it can take a minute to figure things out when a new leader takes everything in a new direction – but in this case the clouds didn't clear quickly enough.
When the Malaysian government sold Proton to Malaysian auto supplier DRB-Hicom earlier this year, a forensic accounting team from Ernst & Young and The Rothschild Group started going over the books. Not long after, Bahar was suspended in June from his position and then fired. In his countersuit against DRB-Hicom, claims of lavish spending began to surface. Then the stories and leaks and rumors really began, the UK's Financial Mail reporting on more than one million pounds spent on private flights and home renovations, the New Zealand Herald talking about other executives sacked so that DRB could rearrange a 270-million-pound bank loan to Lotus, and rumors on forums about Bahar flying from his home in Norfolk to Hethel HQ and spending 30,000 pounds on motorsports books for his office.
In the latest Bloomberg report it is said that DRB-Hicom seeks 2.5 million pounds ($4 million US) from Bahar "for unauthorized expenses and overpaid salary and bonuses," including the purported expense of 3,000 pounds on watches for company managers. DRB-Hicom also says Bahar made damaging statements to the media, on top of breaching his contractual duties. Bahar's countersuit seeks $10.6 million from DRB-Hicom.
Steve Davies at SkiddMark.com has written an excellent, reasoned piece on the other less-salacious issues of contention between DRB-Hicom, Bahar and the consortium of banks that made the 270-million-pound loan. It will probably be a while longer, if ever, before we really know what happened inside the walls of Hethel to get matters to this point.

State Rep. Rick Kriseman announces bill to repeal Florida law forbidding doctors from asking about guns
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
Update to this story: on Wednesday (September 14) a federal judge found Florida's law forbidding doctors from talking about guns with their patients to be an unconstitutional infringement on the free speech rights of both doctors and patients.
State Representative Rick Kriseman introduced a bill that would repeal a law that forbids physicians from discussing gun safety with patients. House Bill 1405 is intended to give doctors back their rights to discuss potential health concerns and continue their ability to uphold their commitment to patient/doctor confidentiality.
The so-called "Docs verses Glocks" bill was signed into law by Governor Rick Scott in early June. It forbids physicians from asking patients about gun ownership or discussing gun safety with them. Representative Kriseman said the law contradicts views of the Republican-majority legislature.
The law was backed by the National Rifle Association. Its supporters say the legislation does allow doctors to ask about guns in the home if they believe it is relevant to a patientâs health. But opponents have argued the fear of litigation will keep physicians from asking. Dr. Mona Mangat said there are 16-20 deaths associated with accidental discharge of firearms in Florida each year.
Mangat compared teaching gun safety practices to other precautionary measures that are not banned by laws. In fact, doctors are encouraged to provide parents with the tools to help parents keep their kids not just healthy, but safe.
Representative Kriseman said a lot of bills get railroaded through the legislative process, but after further investigation many lawmakers have a change of heart. He described the lawâs continued enforcement as a slippery slope that could lead to further damaging healthcare legislation.
Kriseman added, many families relocate from other states and are unfamiliar with Floridaâs gun safety laws.
Kriseman said he doesnât expect lawmakers in Tallahassee to schedule this bill for a committee hearing, but he will continue to speak out against bad legislation.comments powered by Disqus

Beer brewer wins Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plant of the Year Award
April 17, 2012
ALBANY, Ga. — MillerCoors' Albany, Ga.-brewery has won the Industrial Waste Water Treatment Plant of the Year Award, Fox 31 reported.
Presented by the Georgia Association of Water Professionals, the award recognizes MillerCoors for the outstanding operation of the brewery's on-site 425-acre hay farming operation.
The facility treats 6 million gallons of water per day. Leftover solid material is then used as fertilizer.
"We're able to apply the solid portion of our waste water treatment plant material to the hay field, both irrigating it and providing an organic supplement for the hay crops. It's really a win win situation," said Environmental Health and Safety expert David Dixon.

Coming Soon: The Flystones: No Country for Sober Men
by Toni Marmota
The band the Flystones are rebels of Flytown, fighting against repression, injustice, and corruption. But Don Bumblebee, the abject, manipulative, and always
angry Flytown mayor, decides to prohibit the dissemination of pop music in all its variants. A fun story with a rock edge to suit the rockstar writer and the
real-life counterparts of the animated characters — a band whose roots are in punk, rock, and counterculture — the age-old battle of good versus evil

Coming Soon: Unspeakable Vault (of Doom)
by François Launet
A lighthearted view of H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, The Unspeakable Vault (of Doom) is based on the webcomic of the same name by François Launet,
which chronicles the "daily" lives of the Great Old Ones, including Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and Yog-Sothoth, among others. This funny collection of gag
comic strips is a parody of the horror genre that further investigates in humorous detail the monster characters originally created by Lovecraft.
Although created to invoke laughter instead of the usual terror found in Lovecraft's work, the book explores dark and mature themes such as death,
religion, and the occult, albeit in a light and fanciful manner.

I know it sounds crazy probably but... damn it I have no other way of explaining my pure joy for this game. To be fair I hated it to begin with. In fact I thought about breaking the disc because of some frustration of bad game mechanics. The difference is I found myself playing it for 8 hours straight last night on professional and then played some multiplayer with 2 friends and I learned that I love this game.
Anyway if you already know this stuff good but for me and most of my friends it took someone telling us to figure it out.
- Melee specials - Each character has a melee special move. The basic melee is just the melee attack, if you press the interact button during the attack you will do a finishing move, though this leaves you open to attack. The best move though for tactical purposes is the special melee which is done by attacking then pressing the special ability button ( Y on default XB360 control) after an attack. So the medic will grow a herb out of an enemies chest making it so you can heal up your team, or if you are the field scientist you can inject the enemy and then they become infectious zombies that ONLY attack enemies. This is especially effective when there is no zombies and only spec ops.
- Use Bertha's injection to run past tough levels. One of Bertha's injections can negate %90 damage for a couple seconds. When ever a level go too tough I would inject myself with it and then run to the next checkpoint and then die possibly so my entire team might restart from that check point. In fact I skipped most of the entire last mission by just running past all the enemies and jumping into the next area causing a cutscene. This only works on missions that don't have blockades or require you kill an enemy before advancing but there is a good chunk of these get to the checkpoint missions. Also use this ability when team mates go down. Even when your bleeding and surrounded by zombies they barely scratch you. FYI I think it might work with invincibility of lupo but i haven't tested it yet.
I'll post more tips when I get back from work but how about everyone here post tricks they have learned :]

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Is Phaedra Parks Still a Lawyer?
Phaedra Parks is a really busy bee. The mom is currently expecting her second child and launching an empire of fitness DVDs — all while also enrolled as a full-time student in mortuary school.
When we first met Phaedra on The Real Housewives of Atlanta a few seasons back, she was proud of her high-powered career as one of Atlanta's top lawyers, but that profession seems to have taken a backseat to her latest interest in fabulous funerals.
So, has the Southern Belle ditched the courtroom for the morgue? No way!
In an interview with the Huffington Post, Phaedra explained that she still practices law and that her firm hasn't been hurt by the show. "I've been practicing law for 13 years," she said. "I still practice law full-time ... every single day, five days a week."
Phew! Now we know who to call if we ever get in to any legal trouble in Atlanta! Were you surprised to learn that Phae-Phae still practices law? Sound off below!

Research - Clinical Studies
Clinical Study Title
Randomized blinded placebo-controlled clinical trial of caloric vestibular neurostimulation in patients with chronic TMD
****** Not currently enrolling new participants in this Clinical Study. ******
Description/Purpose of the Study
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are among the most common chronic pain conditions affecting 6 to 12% of the general population.
The purpose of this research study is to examine how the pain of chronic TMD changes in response to a new non-invasive device stimulation, which consists of stimulating the ear canal. Stimulation of the ear canal has been shown to reduce pain in patients with chronic pain. It is thought that this device activates the vestibular nerve (which connects to the brain) and modifies its function. The vestibular nerve also connects to the trigeminal nerve which supplies the jaw joint. However, this is the first time it is being tried in TMD patients.
|IRB Study #:

LESS can be more in maths, at least when it comes to its history. With a topic that is liable to die in the reader's hands before they've even reached the ancient Babylonians, David Berlinski has achieved something impressive: a snappy, marvellously readable volume with huge quantities of fact (and no mean dose of maths). Brevity is the key: the book focuses on the milestones and big characters, sketches the rest, and does it all with clever humour, allusion and prose that keeps demanding attention.
