Check out some of the reviews from Target.com:
I bought this top to run outside in the Arizona winter. My first run in it was at 40F and windy, and it worked out great. I didn't feel chilly, even stepping outside before I started running, and it kept me warm, not sweaty, and the sleeves didn't ride up at all either. I like the longer length at the bottom too as it keeps more of my waistline and back side covered up.
Wore this when out for a recent run. Kept me warm and was a snug fit.

Moscow-based scheduled cargo airline, AirBridgeCargo, has appointed new general sales agents in Vietnam and Korea.
In Vietnam, Indo-Trans Logistics Aviation Services (ITL Aviation) has been selected as the airline's GSA. With accession of Vietnam to the WTO in 2006, the country's exports have been growing at an accelerated pace, offering new business opportunities to cargo airlines and the freight forwarding community. Duly licensed by the Vietnamese aviation authorities, ITL Aviation will undertake sales and marketing activities on behalf of AirBridgeCargo, will promote the name and services of ABC in the country, and will arrange the smooth connection of traffic to the airline's online network. The new appointment will benefit Vietnamese exporters as well as the growing number of Russian consignees.
Eurussia Air Cargo Inc., has been selected to represent AirBridgeCargo Airlines in Korea. Eurussia Air Cargo Inc. is a newly created subsidiary of Sharp Inc. ' a well-established company specializing in GSA business and aviation-related services. The new GSA, run by a team of dedicated professionals, will introduce and promote ABC services on the highly competitive Korean market in response to the growing demand for freighter services between Korea and Russia. This supports the long-term strategy of AirBridgeCargo to ensure its presence in all key markets of North-East Asia. The proximity of Korea to Japan and China, from where ABC operates B747 services to key destinations in Russia, will help connect the country, using interline arrangements with online carriers, to the AirBridgeCargo network.
The new GSA appointments will strengthen the competitive standing of AirBridgeCargo in the Asian markets and provide its customers with more business opportunities and airfreight solutions.

As a disc priest with Mindbender instead of Solace, should I use holy fire? (except for movement casting instant spells)
If you're not using Solace it won't give you mana back - so you'd be using it for healing via Atonement. So use it when you want to do that I assume?
Yes, it is cheaper than smite and hits harder.
It's better than Smite, so... Yes?
There are only few occasions you shouldn't be hitting that on cd...
Holy Fire's just outright better, even with the 1s reduction on Penance's CD from Smite.
Train of Thought
Yes, you should be using it on CD, or as close to as possible.
Mindbender was actually buffed such that it brings a decent amount more damage ,and the mana return turns out to be about even with PW: Sol assuming 4-5 PW: sol / minute.
Perfect usage of PW: Sol will pull ahead in raw returns. However, Mindbender brings more damage.
Remember that HF and PW: Sol are much stronger than Smite because they're less costly (one is free!), and that the dot can continually trigger ToF. Actively seek out 35-40% health adds and use them as high priority HF/PW: sol targets to assist in ToF uptimes.
The only time I'd rely heavily on Smite to build up AA is during a burn phase where gosh dang it I need it now (which honestly, if you're hitting Hf/Penance on CD, you should only need a few panic-smites) or at the beginning of a fight under Hero, in which you can get AA up very quickly with hf, penance, smite smite smite.
Mindbender helps more than PW: Solace
You should definatively use HF. It's an instant cast, decent size, very mana effective heal that procs Evangelism.
And on top of that, you deal some damage too. What's not to love about this spell? :P

Yes, holy fire on cd when atoning. Also a good global to use during movement.

Corsair TX750W 750watt Power Supply
In The Box
Once we get into the dark box with the orange lettering, we see that we have everything we need to get down to business. There is even a cloth bag to make certain everything stays nice and neat. While not a modular design, all cabling harnesses are wrapped in a plastic mesh material so cable management should not be too difficult. The cabling coming from the housing is also protected by a plastic grommet to ensure a safe exit with no chance for the metal grinding away at the plastic coating of the wires and causing a short.
This power supply is rated at 750 watts of continuous power draw, so should be more than enough to handle anything you want to throw at it. The 3.3v rail is rated at 24A and the 5v rail is rated at 28A. Many current power supplies are moving to a multiple 12v rail setup, but the TX series from Corsair gets back to basics and has a single 12v rail that is rated at an impressive 60A. This is ideal for those pushing hardcore cooling (peltier) solutions, have a bunch of powerful fans and a more than normal amount of peripherals installed. You will not have to worry about a rail not being able to handle the draw since there is only one rail to concern yourself with. And folks, if you can pull more than 60 amps of juice, you are probably the type who has a backup generator sitting outside your window to handle the power requirements.
The features included on this TX series model include many that are finally becoming common. These include support for ATX12V v2.2, 80%+ power efficiency ratings, Active PFC and all Japanese made capacitors for reliability and longer life. Add to this an above average 5-year warranty and we have the makings of a very nice product here.
The exterior surface area is pretty barren, but this is becoming a standard practice anymore since it enhances the amount of exhaust to allow for better airflow. On this panel you will see a port for the power cable and a toggle switch that allows you to turn off the power supply. Everything else is internal, including the switch that sets the voltage from 120v to 240v.
With all that real estate on the exterior panel for exhaust, it stands to reason that Corsair would maximize that and use a large fan. The 140mm unit installed on the bottom of this PSU has the ability to push a lot of air at need. During our testing, the noise level of this fan was always lower than other system fans being used. At idle it is silent, while at higher speeds it makes little noise. The fan is controlled internally by a thermal probe, so it only speeds up when the temperatures inside the housing climb to higher levels.
As noted earlier, this model does not feature a modular cable design. While this is a nice thing, it isn't a necessity. You are also assured of having a lot of flexibility with this product since it has plenty of connections for pretty much anything you need.
The primary power coupler is a 20+4 pin design so you can use this PSU with older motherboards or modern ones. Auxiliary power is provided with a 4+4 pin coupler to handle either the 4-pin or 8-pin motherboards. As far as connectors for peripherals you get eight Molex, eight SATA, four PCI-E and two FDD connectors. Also of note is that all four of the PCI-E connectors can be utilized as either 6-pin or 8-pin couplers so you will be set regardless of the video card you happen to be using. It is also nice knowing that you are going to be future proof when it comes time for your next graphics upgrade.

73-year-old Hall-of-Fame trainer Ignacio "Nacho" Beristain is very impressed with WBA junior flyweight Román "Chocolatito" González (30-0, 25 KOs) of Nicaragua. Nacho says Gonzalez will become a future star in the sport and he doesn't see any boxer, including those in Mexico, who can beat him at junior flyweight.
"Keeping their respective differences, this boy is like a little Alexis Argüello. The truth is, he impressed me very much [against Omar Salado in Cancun]. He is an excellent fighter and he will be champion for a long time. The time that fought in Cancún, I saw that he got a little tired, but he has a good boxing rhythm," Nacho said.
Nacho expects Gonzalez to easily pass the biggest test of his career, former champion Ramon Garcia, on March 17th in Culiacan.
"With all sincerity, I can tell you that I don't believe that there is any boxer in Mexico who can beat him. He will beat [Garcia] in three or four rounds," Nacho said.

Schools are in danger of being turned into "the sole preserve of the super-rich" following a sharp rise in fees, said Martin Stephen, ex-High Master of St Paul's School in west London.
In an extraordinary attack, he said that year-on-year price increases had resulted in the "financial and social marginalisation" of the independent sector that could lead to the "extinction" of many schools.
He also accused schools of being "frozen in the past", adding that their "professional organisations and governance structures are those of the Industrial Revolution and ill-suited for contemporary society".
The comments will be seen as an embarrassing blow to the system of private education in Britain.
Dr Stephen is a former chairman of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference, which represents schools such as Eton and Harrow. He also led The Perse School in Cambridge and Manchester Grammar School before becoming High Master of St Paul's between 2004 and 2011.
He is now director of education at Gems UK – a private school chain set up to promote "affordable" independent education.
Writing in the Times Educational Supplement, Dr Stephen said most fee-paying schools had "put themselves in a very dangerous position" in recent years.
"They are pricing themselves out of the reach of most normal people in the UK," he said.
"Even on a salary of more than £50,000, it would be exceptionally hard to afford a place at a boarding school, and even many day schools.
"The result is that the independent sector is becoming socially exclusive in a way not seen since Victorian times. Not only is it in danger of becoming the sole preserve of the super-rich here and overseas, but it is in danger of losing even the tacit support of the average UK voter."
Figures published by the Independent Schools Council last year showed that average fees in Britain had increased by 4.5 per cent rise in 12 months – topping £13,000 for the first time.
It emerged that day fees rose from £10,713 to £11,208 and the price of boarding increased from £24,009 to £25,152. In total, some 25 schools charged more than £30,000 in fees, figures showed.
In 2010/11, the number of British pupils in private schools also dropped for the third year in a row.
School leaders insist that recent fee rises have been lower than those levied in previous years, adding that schools are investing record sums in bursaries for poor pupils.
Many schools have also struck up formal partnerships with local state primaries and secondaries, it emerged.
But Dr Stephen said schools often sought to "suck out" the best pupils from the state system, adding: "The sector has become too dependent on overseas parents and is profiting from a state sector in some turmoil."
He called on independent schools to reduce their fees and make joint staff appointments with local state schools or face going bust.
"The choice is clear: independent schools, like any other species, must evolve or face extinction," he said.
Rudolf Eliott Lockhart, head of research at the Independent Schools Council, said schools provided a "world-class education for thousands of young people".
"Even in hard economic times, parents continue to make it a priority to find the fees to send their children to independent schools, valuing the well-rounded education and the excellent start in life that they offer," he said.
"Contrary to any concerns that the public may be turning against the independent sector, the opposite is in fact true. Last year's Populus survey showed people increasingly believe independent education to be of a higher standard than state education, with 47 per cent of adults in 1997 rising to 57 per cent in 2011.
"This is in line with figures showing that opposition to the sector has fallen dramatically and that, regardless of cost, the number of parents who wouldn't choose to send their child to an independent school dropped."

Hundreds gathered at Richmond's Civic Center auditorium Saturday for the Financial Freedom IV and L.I.F.E. Conference. Healthy Community Richmond and Citibank have put on the annual conference for the last four years featuring panels and workshops on various aspects of personal finance.
"Too many of us are financially illiterate and don't understand the basic language of money," said Robert Shoffner, a senior vice president at Citibank and the keynote speaker. He said this dearth of financial education starts during childhood, because kids often aren't shown how to do basic financial planning like budgeting and saving. "We get more instructions when we get on a plane and have the barf bag in front of us," he said, "than we do when we get our first dollars."
Mayor Gayle McLaughlin also delivered opening remarks. She said that economic inequity continues to plague Richmond. Official unemployment in the city continues to hover around 18 percent, although many say real unemployment is much higher. Last year, approximately 2,300 homes were foreclosed on. "We need equity," she said. "We know that a healthy community is an equitable community."

So what do we need to learn more about in the how to MLM recruiting people chapter to start converting and making MLM sales…?
Well the first requirement is for you to stop everything you're thinking and doing right now and just look at the results you're getting with MLM Recruiting in your business.
You need to suspend judgment for a minute and open your ears. Forget all the "oh yeah I've heard that" or "oh yeah I've tried that before, or that oh yeah; well we are already doing that."
Just put aside that kind of mental chatter for a moment.
Do you know what happens when you say "Oh yeah I already know that?" The door to your mind slams shut and nothing else can get in or out. You go into instant stupid mode. You might as well just leave the webinar, event, or coaching session right then and there.
Do you really want to know what it is that "you know?"
If you "know it" you live it.
If you live it, it produces results…
So once again what do your results tell you about this vital MLM recruiting skill set and your business success?
What do your MLM sales conversions look like?
What are your MLM recruiting and sales conversions telling you about what it is that "you know?"
Do the numbers declare you know how to recruit people effectively or not?
Are you one of those marketers out there MLM recruiting 10 people a month that just can't seem to break through to the super success you should be capable of?
Or are you one of the ones who is MLM recruiting less than 10 per month and seeking to join the 10 in the month club?
The group you belong to right now (more than 10 or less than 10) is going to have a specific course of action and game plan that you need to follow to start reaping the success you are after.
But there is one common requirement for both groups, and that is that you open your ears, open your minds, get coach-able, teachable, trainable and prepare yourself for some further MLM training on the subject.
So if you were going to get that MLM Recruiting training wouldn't you like to get that training from a multiple six or even seven figure earner who actually knows how to get it done?
Would that be valuable for you and for your team if you were able to get that kind of training from an MLM sales master who really knows how to MLM recruit people, and then train it down to your team?
Or even better yet how would you like your team to get the same training value you are going to get without having to train it down to them by yourself?
Do you think that would be a significant value for you, your team, and your business?
I would venture to say your conversion rates and MLM Recruiting success would multiply substantially and duplicate throughout your team if you did…
That is of course if your ears are open and you're remaining open minded to increasing your MLM Recruiting Success.
If you've done a good job of planning things out while creating your MLM Business plan you've made allowances for this in your business by joining with the right team, and picking the right leadership and mastermind council to guide your group as your business develops.
You also should have third party tools at your disposal already to generate leads with, and a dynamic leadership team guiding your development.
This is exactly the way I structured my business. I desired to take advantage of mentorship and training from one of the top servant leaders in the industry.
I wanted to leverage the training and credibility this person would provide for my team while I concentrated on Business building and training my team the fundamental elements of the success equation, which is something of a specialty of mine.
It's a leveraged kind of arrangement that makes best use of the available assets, time and energy. It's a synergy of sorts where the total outcome of the combination produces a greater end result than the sum of its parts.
It's a success multiplier in other words and more than that the results have the potential for exponential multiplication.
I'm not saying this to brag so much as I am to make a point. We're a part of the fastest growing team in the company for a reason. The synergy works.
If you didn't design your personal business plan this way or didn't get lucky enough to fall into such an arrangement by chance, you probably need some additional training on this subject.
You may be on of those less than 10 a month MLM recruiters looking to step up your MLM recruiting and sales conversions a notch.
You probably need a platform and mentors to guide, train, and help you develop yourself as a business leader, and to help duplicate that success throughout your team.
My guess is that in all likelihood you're going to need some third party resources to do it.
If that sounds like you then I've got some things to show you.
As a matter of fact I've got some bonus training for you from the top income earner of a particular MLM company that will get you converting MLM leads into new MLM sales for absolutely free today.

Alignment 2012
Wilcock, author of the Convergence series generally agrees
with Jenkins and believes it is the process we are all going through
called 'Ascension'. According to Wilcock, who is believed to be the reincarnation
of Edgar Cayce, we are actually arriving at the end of a 75,000 year
galactic cycle and a more common 25,000 year planetary cycle. Jenkins
explains how this fits in with with the 25,920-year precession cycle.
The number 25,920 comes up in Hindu, Nordic and Babylonian doctrines.
He also noticed that the Maya and the ancient Egyptians knew all about
Galactic Alignment too. 26,000 also harmonises with the 260 days of
the sacred
Tzolkin calender.

The foreign inventory of parts includes multiple automaker brands that are imported by company suppliers.
Sandusky, Ohio (PRWEB) June 25, 2013
The termination of Pontiac as a vehicle brand has created some parts shortages for U.S. buyers. The Auto Pros USA company sells preowned OEM auto parts online and is now including used Pontiac OEM parts for consumer sale at http://autoprosusa.com/used-pontiac-oem-parts. These parts represent a growing genuine parts inventory at this company in 2013.
An introductory pricing structure has been selected for consumers to benefit when searching for these parts replacements. These parts are now located inside the GM inventory of available parts for domestic shipments.
The Pontiac brand was one of the oldest in production for General Motors upon its termination. Millions of vehicles have been produced carrying the Pontiac nameplate and parts can now be more difficult to locate. Some dealers are unable to provide genuine parts for replacement and rely upon aftermarket units for resale.
The additions this year of Pontiac parts and accessories are designed to provide the resources that buyers cannot find using parts supply companies in local cities and towns. The online database created for parts research now displays multiple GM brands.
Online videos have been launched by the Auto Pros company this year to help promote various part types that are available for research and purchase. The video channel created at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYY89lU4fLc is now updated regularly with new part types and information that is useful to the public.
"OEM parts can vary in cost depending on supply companies in the U.S.," a source from the Auto Pros company added. Purchasing genuine parts from authorized retailers is a typical way buyers receive parts for replacement in retired vehicles. The secondary distribution sources that are now used to supply the Pontiac and other GM parts help to generate pricing that is less than current suggested list prices.
"There are now hundreds of sources that are tapped to provide the parts listed for online sale," the source added. This rise in numbers of distributors providing customer fulfillment is making it possible to maintain a reduced purchase price for the quality of parts provided.
The OEM parts editions that are featured inside the company database now include more domestic and foreign units for sale. The Pontiac brand is one addition to the General Motors inventory now presented to buyers. The foreign inventory of parts includes multiple automaker brands that are imported by company suppliers.
A news release was published for consumers at http://www.prweb.com/releases/toyota-oem-parts/used-toyota-parts/prweb10626077.htm to make official notification of Toyota OEM parts to the preowned inventory for sale. Since this news was announced, Honda and Nissan parts have been included in the foreign genuine parts inventory for public sale.
About AutoProsUSA.com
The AutoProsUSA.com company constructed its auto parts website to deliver low pricing to consumers after negotiations with parts buyers have taken place. This company provides a discount price structure to consumers as one online alternative to paying retail pricing. The preowned supply chain network launched by this company in 2013 has resulted in better consumer pricing and faster deliveries for orders. The AutoProsUSA.com company built a programmed quotation system for buyers to use online when researching available parts inventory and pricing. A customer service team now monitors all telephone and online requests for parts information.

Thanks for all your Santa Tantrum Awards 2009 entries. This year's official field is below. As you'll see, the task of picking the winners is going to be pretty much impossible.
Courtesy Dina Ferreira-Stoddard
My apologies to anyone whose entries didn't appear. Several of the photos wouldn't download, and others didn't meet the criteria of the contest. (I'm allowing a few photos that are a year or two old, but don't allow picture of now-adults who were kids in the 1960s, 70s or 80s. Maybe I'll post some of those separately later this week …) I'm not planning to accept more than a few additional entries, but if you have something mind-blowing, please send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll try to slip a few in before we announce the winners later this week.
You're welcome to vote for your favorite in the comments below. You can give a shout out to your own kid but DO NOT get all of your friends and neighbors to engage in a commenting campaign on their behalf. It becomes really obvious to the rest of us, and won't change anything when it comes to deciding on a winner.
Thanks to everyone who entered! Enjoy the costumes and all the great stories …

Happy Holidays!
A few years ago, my son Danny (in the red sweater vest) was visiting his cousins in NY. I was 7-1/2 months pregnant and convinced my saint of a brother in law that we needed the cousins to get a photo with Santa, which involved going to the mall. Mayhem ensued. … This is way beyond Christmas Eve cookie indulgence, and my sister says the #1 reason for her baby's crying. In the *AWESOME* group shot, you see my nephews and son ages 6, 4, 20 months and 15 months. The little guys wanted nothing to do with it, but the older boys had a "pep talk" before hand. Can you tell? My 6 year old nephew understands where the presents come from! And the 4 year old has his angelic smile on — but the screaming — he can't stand the screaming! I also love how quickly Santa dropped his pretense of jolly:) And in case you were wondering, my brother in law and I were laughing so hard we were crying! My boys smile now for Santa. As for my sister and brother in law, they haven't been back.
Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hi Peter,
If the contest is still open, I'd like to enter this one.
Sadie, 11 months, along with her cousin Cruz, 9 months, got dressed up today to meet Santa. Their reactions of terror were both simultaneous and instantaneous. Santa expressed concern about possibly scarring them for life, so we only tortured them for a few seconds.
Happy Holidays,

Big Sister Sophia might looked poised and pleased but believe me when I tell you that she couldn't have been more outraged by her brother, Dennis', antics.
After the photo was taken, she looked at me (her mom) and said in all seriousness, "I'm like 99.9 percent certain Lil Dennis is getting coal in his stocking this year. I just hope he didn't ruin my chances at getting anything I asked for. That kind of behavior has GOT to give Santa a complex…" (Sophia was born a mini-adult.)
Thanks for running such a HILARIOUS blog. Makes me laugh every year. 🙂

I had high hopes for this year's impromptu Santa pic. We spotted Jolly Old Saint Nick outside Boudin's the day before Thanksgiving, on our trip to pick up our sourdough turkey. My 2.5 year old son even said hi to Santa when we walked by the bench he was relaxing on. Flash forward 5 minutes when we are leaving Boudin's and my son actually makes the move to approach Santa on his own. Score! This Santa, being nothing short of a pro, offers to hold my son's water cup while I take a picture. Santa relieves my son of his cup … and the rest is Santa Tantrum history …

Hi Peter –
Here's our family's entry to this year's contest. I've been a big fan of the blog for a while and while I'm not totally convinced that I've got a winner on my hands, I figured that it was worthy to at least enter into the contest.
My son, Teio (1 1/2 y.o.) lost it as soon as we set him on Santa's lap. His sister, Kiya (4 1/2 y.o.), who was looking forward to this moment for weeks suddenly realized how her brother was going to louse the whole thing up. We did our best to divert his attention from the horror that he now knows as "Santa" but the whole scene spiraled further into chaos as the Macy's staff launched into a series of antics to do the same. To my son, it must have been a nightmarish moment being held captive by the red monster while all the adults in the room were simultaneously shouting his name and waving maniacally.
I realized that he needed someone else to focus on so I told him to look at his sister. Then I asked Kiya to "let Teio know it's going to be alright." In hindsight, the tone of my voice was probably less than measured since shouting has always been a sure fired way of connecting with children. At this point, my daughter is wondering why she's the one getting yelled at as she extends her minimum order quantity of empathy to her brother. You can look into Santa's eyes and see that he's already checked out and has gone to visit his happy place. Click.
There's always next year …
Thanks for hosting the contest. I'm looking forward to seeing all the finalists.

We'd heard such good things about the Santa Claus in Walnut Creek.

upward, ready to bolt.

Our daughter was wide eyed and happy until we reached the candy cane arches that led to Santa's workshop. She looked somewhat dubious… We even backed her up onto Santa's lap (the elf's suggestion) so that she wouldn't see his face. On his knee, looks up… and voila: wails galore and red face! My husband and I (mostly) laughed and then bought the highly overpriced photo. Good times for Baby's First Christmas.

Hello! I'm not sure this can top the screaming twins from last year. That progression of terror was too cute and downright hilarious, however, I have attached a photo of my two sons this year on Santa's lap in Stoneridge Mall, Pleasanton, CA. Sadly, I envision all future years will look a bit like this one given how clingy/attached my second son is and the fact that he was shaking his head and repeating, "no, no, no" seconds before being placed on Santa's lap. During all previous years, my older son has been a perfect angel and smiled sweetly at the camera, as he is in this photo as well. This Santa is great, by the way. Enjoy!
Best wishes,

Taken last weekend at Stonestown. The terror began many minutes before
I set my daughter down on Santa's lap and peeled her arms off of my
legs. This Santa is a true professional, it's obvious that no extra
points will be awarded to anyone hoping to win this contest with the
Stonestown Santa. My son maintained the same smile for minutes before
after thinking that it was required to get toys.

We just had this photo taken today and it seemed an appropriate one to send to you. My normally happy almost 9-month-old daughter, Kyveli, was smiling and laughing and happy as can be until I set her down on Santa's lap, when she instantly turned hysterical. The poor guy! A friend of mine told me her husband was a Santa last year and was terrified of the screaming babies after being kicked in the groin one too many times. Perhaps that's why this Santa is holding her up so high (and far from his lap)? Notice the white-knuckled vise grip on her thigh and other hand clutching his chest as well.

Just yesterday we took our kids to the Dickens fair and got to meet "Father Christmas." What a magical sight for my one year old — until — Santa swooped her out of my arms. She wasn't fooled for even a moment, but despite the screaming, my niece Lily managed to keep her ballerina perfect smile on for the show. She was ready, even if no one else was. And do note: Santa was the least prepared in the group for this event! He actually looks horrified. After we finished He tried to make amends, but the baby proceeded to hit him across the face. I have to say, I wouldn't want our first Santa picture to look any other way. It's a right of passage really.
Thanks for running this great contest!

Downstream Extrusion Equipment Information
Downstream extrusion equipment is used to finish and inspect parts after they have been extruded.
Post-extrusion processing operations include:
- cooling
- cutting
- pulling
- texturing
- embossing
- inspecting
Downstream extrusion equipment is designed to process and finish all kinds of extruded products, including plastic and metal piping, rods, or wires; rubber hoses and gaskets; aluminum and steel; and other types of sheet metal. Suppliers of downstream extrusion equipment differ in terms of capabilities, cost, and service.
Downstream extrusion equipment is often used to prepare extruded parts for assembly, finishing, painting, labeling, or shipping. Downstream extrusion equipment may also include inspection processes to ensure that extruded parts meet specific industry standards, such as ISO 9000 standards.
Different extruded products may require different downstream extrusion equipment for various finishing processes.
- Downstream extrusion equipment that is used to finish plastic extrusion products may include saws and cutters, punches, and cooling equipment.
- Cutting equipment, such as a laser cutting machinery, is used to cut various lengths of extruded plastic pipe or tubing.
- Rubber extrusion products often require finishing in salt tanks or infrared ovens and may also be cut into smaller components.
- Downstream extrusion equipment for aluminum or other metal extrusion products includes cutting and embossing equipment. Aluminum extrusion products include sheets that are cut or punched by an extrusion die cutting machine, formed and bent into long sections that are then further processed by a metal cutting machine into smaller pieces.
Aluminum extrusion products are used extensively in building and construction, transportation, and aerospace applications. Aluminum extrusions may be finished with specific textures by an embossing machine. An embossing machine impresses a pattern on the aluminum by passing it through a series of textured rollers.

Inter President Massimo Moratti admits that he is worried Wesley Sneijder could leave. He also rubbished reports of contact with Marcelo Bielsa.
Sneijder's future at San Siro is no longer assured after he opened the door to an exit following links with Chelsea and Manchester United.
"I love Inter with all my heart," he told La Gazzetta dello Sport. "But only God will decide where my future lies."
Moratti, speaking outside his Milan offices this morning, stated: "It was sad to hear those comments."
Sneijder joined the Nerazzurri giants in the summer of 2009 from Real Madrid at the specific request of then boss Jose Mourinho.
He marked his first season in Italy by winning the Scudetto, Champions League and Coppa Italia. He also reached the World Cup Final with Holland that same term.
This time around, he's lifted the Italian Cup, the Italian Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
Meanwhile, Moratti also rejected today's front-page lead on the Gazzetta that he spoke with Bielsa at the weekend.
The paper suggests that the Inter owner telephoned the Argentine tactician, who recently resigned as Chile Coach, to ask whether he would be willing to boss Inter at some stage in the future.
"There has been no contact with Bielsa, I deny everything," Moratti continued. "Leonardo is an excellent Coach."

It shows the author moving from success to success with, so far in his life, no disappointments, irresistible obstacles, or personal griefs.
Schlesinger's paternal grandfather, a German-born Jew, migrated to the United States in 1860 and fell in love with an Austrian-born Catholic woman. They resolved whatever religious dilemmas they had by both becoming Protestant when they married in 1873. His father graduated from Ohio State University in 1910 and then married Elizabeth Bancroft, a remote descendant of George Bancroft, America's first major historian. Arthur Schlesinger, Sr., received his Ph.D. in history from Columbia University and went on to teach at Ohio State and then the University of Iowa. There he wrote two books on American cultural history, with the second stressing the discrimination suffered by American women in their quest for freedom and equality—a novel view for a male historian in 1922. The father also anticipated his son's opinions by demanding recognition for the role of non-Anglo-Saxons in forging the national identity, yet insisting that these immigrants become acculturated to their new nation. Much later, the son was to write a tract, The Disuniting of America (1991), in which he opposed multiculturalism as an ideology dividing America into ethnic communities.
On the eve of his son's seventh birthday, his father became the beneficiary of a bidding war for his services among the University of Iowa, Columbia, and Harvard; he chose the last and never regretted it. He and his wife socialized in wide academic circles that included the philosopher Ralph Barton Perry, the brilliant jurist Felix Frankfurter, and the irreverent historian and novelist Bernard De Voto.
The son proved a brilliant and precocious student, skipping two grades at the Peabody School, then starring at the Phillips Exeter Academy and winning so many prizes at graduation that the headmaster told him, "You might as well stay up here, Arthur; you're getting the next one, too." Since the boy was only fifteen at graduation, his father took him on a world trip and encouraged him to keep a journal; he was to maintain it most of his life. Schlesinger fills fifteen pages with an all-too-detailed report of the journey, demonstrating a self-concern that weaves throughout the book and sometimes taxes the reader's patience, yet at other times charms, as when he contributes prose paeans to his habits of wearing bow ties and drinking martinis.
Schlesinger devotes two chapters, adding up to eighty pages, to his years as a Harvard student. His chief extracurricular interest was the literary magazine the Harvard Advocate, for which he covered drama, jazz, and politics and helped entertain such celebrated visitors as Gertrude Stein, Sean O'Casey, and Walter Lippmann. The public events of the 1930's shaped his political outlook for the rest of his life. Like his parents, he became an ardent New Dealer and developed a profound impression of the political stupidity and greed of American business leadership. Unlike many liberals, he was never attracted to the Soviet Union, let alone the American Communist Party. With a good deal of self-indulgence, Schlesinger spends five pages discussing in detail the plays he saw in New York during the 1930's and another sixteen pages on the films. Of far more interest is his review of his learning. He was fortunate to have two eminent academicians as his tutors: Perry Miller, the nation's leading authority on American Puritanism, and F. O. Matthiessen, who interpreted closely such poets as T. S. Eliot and Walt Whitman and whose study of mid-nineteenth century American writers, American Renaissance: Art and Expression in the Age of Emerson and Whitman(1941), is regarded as an Everest of literary scholarship. Bernard De Voto, however, was Schlesinger's favorite: a lusty polemicist, generous-hearted, opinionated, a professional Westerner. Schlesinger's senior thesis was on Orestes Bronson, a neglected early nineteenth century Transcendentalist clergyman, editor, and public official. Perry Miller and his father both encouraged him to turn the honors thesis into a book; it was published in the spring of 1939, when the author was twenty-one.
In his junior year, Schlesinger met the artistic Marian Cannon, daughter of a distinguished physiologist, five years his senior. One of four outspoken, vital, and irreverent sisters, Marian proved an elusive quarry. They fought, parted, and reunited, persisting in an up-and-down relationship for...

Compliance Bits and Pieces for December 2
Here are some recent compliance-related stories that caught my attention.
The Enron cast: Where are they now? by Richard Partington in Financial News
The leading characters in the Enron saga have had varied fortunes since the disgraced trading giant collapsed into Chapter 11 bankruptcy a decade ago this week. A few went to prison, a couple have since died, while another employee went on to become a hugely successful billionaire trader. Financial News has ploughed through newspaper reports, personal and company websites and – where possible – contacted those involved to see where they are all now.
SEC Examines Internal Watchdog's Interview By Robert Schmidt and Joshua Gallu in Bloomberg
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's internal watchdog has come under scrutiny for comments he made in a 75-minute videotaped interview about the agency and the stock market to a man who markets a "crash-proof retirement" plan through the Internet and a paid radio program. SEC Inspector General H. David Kotz has been contacted about the matter by the agency's general counsel's office, which also has briefed the SEC's commissioners over concerns the interview could be construed as investment advice or an endorsement of financial services, according to two people briefed on the situation.
For Wall Street Watchdog, All Grunt Work, Little Glory by Ben Protess in DealBook
In an office park 20 miles outside Washington, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Wall Street's nonprofit self-regulator, has quietly built a small army of market police. Since Wall Street's financial crisis in 2008, this fledgling fraud task force has entered the front lines of fighting insider trading, even if the group rarely earns the credit. Finra's fraud group is akin to being the sous chef to the S.E.C. and other government regulators: the team prepares evidence against America's most-wanted traders, but receives little of the glory when the cases are served.

Movie Review: A Nightmare On Elm Street
Prinz Lee wrote this review 6 years and 4 months ago
Written 4/30/10
I'd like to say a few words before I review the film. I've just about had it with all these horror remakes. BARF! Is the only way I've felt with the crap that's been released the last few years. I personally think that with the exception of Zombie's Halloween, and Last House on the Left, everything else has been nothing but garbage. I'm seriously starting to consider staying away from these mediocre horror film remakes which do nothing but tarnish the originals to a certain degree.
Time and time again, I've stated the art of horror is so admired by me, that it takes more than just predictable jump scenes, or gore to freak me out, or perhaps anyone else that thrives within this classic genre of films. It's really sad what has turned out to become everything I recall as a kid a symbol of what I like to refer to as mindnipulation… back in the day, like Hip Hop Music, horror writers, and directors had a style. Their art-form when approaching one of these films was so unique, and powerful and so full of interesting story-lines, and characters, from the beginning, there was somewhat of a hypnotic affect… So much, it seemed as if it was deliberately placed in its own format to really dig within your psyche, and challenge your morals. Sort of flip them around, and introduce you to another outlook, or way of existence. I may be going off on a tangent here, but I recall watching Nightmare on Elm Street back in the day as a teen, and perhaps that affect was there because I was a lot younger, and easier to venture into the world of gullibility, but no, because even now as an adult when I view horror flicks from that era, and even earlier like classic pieces such as The Exorcist (Which I own both edited, and directors cut), or the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or I Spit on your grave… these films had certain style, rawness, and even language that just made its way into you, made you think, and freaked you out when vile scenes of violence, and evil just smeared the screen for added pleasure.
I sometimes wonder what happened. It's like "The Joker" says in The Dark Knight "What's the matter? Did you lose your balls?!"
That's how feel about contemporary Hollywood writers when it comes to horror flicks. I really do think they lost their balls, and if that's the issue… well a classic like Nightmare on Elm Street should have been offered to Wes Craven first, and if one of the kings of horror declined… leave it the fuck alone. Seriously! Leave – it – the – fuck – alone!! God, it's like that nagging ex-boy/girl-friend that wants to rehash a relationship that once was, no longer is, and feels they can go back in time, and try to Krazy-Glue the pieces in order to make it stand out like it did when it first started. it's done, and that's it.
But anyway, that's just me, now that I'm done bitching about horror flick remakes, and nagging ex's, I think it's time I get down to business.
As I sat in the darkening theater with anticipation and careful to avoid early reviews (My common approach until I brand it with mine) or the reactions of fellow critics, I returned to the giddy little boy of years past, popcorn and Aquafina (cheap plug) in hand ready for a possible good time at the movies. I tried and tried to go with the images that were unraveling before my Glaucoma infested eyes. I tried to ignore the terrible opening, the lack of character development, or the undeniable fact that Jackie Earle Haley just isn't that frightening as Freddy. I tried to like something, anything, about this new Nightmare. But as the credits rolled, I sat in my seat in a bit of a daze, trying to come to terms with the fact that 2010's Nightmare isn't just flawed, but BLOWS camel cock! .
The film opens with all the subtlety of a frying pan to the face. Where the original slowly and effectively built to Freddy's first on-screen kill, the classic and unforgettable death of Tina (Amanda Wyss), blood is shed only moments into 2010's version. In the original, the characters and audience alike sweated through the subtle reveals, learning little by little just what atrocities Krueger was capable of unleashing on his victims in the vulnerabilities of sleep. Here, one scene in, you know Freddy can kill you if you sleep. Characters have already stopped sleeping and Freddy is picking off victims at a breakneck pace. Character development? Nah, we'll pass. Here's a bunch of sleep-deprived kids wearing dark clothing and looking like drug addicts. Mr. Krueger, here's your buffet. Enjoy! See, I told you it BLOWS!
Samuel Bayer should go back to music videos and never look back. With few exceptions, the visuals aren't terribly impressive and far less compelling than the original film, shot 25 years ago with the budget that this new film probably spent on Craft Services or Extras. The pacing is a fucking mess, the acting is wooden and any sense of drama or character dimension is noticeably absent. (One can get a lot more from that fudging Scarface school play clip that went around a few weeks ago.) Instead of the goodie two shoes Nancy Heather Langenkamp perfected, we get Rooney Mara's brooding Nancy, an outsider who sits in her room listening to her iPod (Cheap plug #2) and staring into space or painting pictures that belong on the covers of '80s heavy metal albums. How do you know Quentin (Kyle Gallner in the Johnny Depp role) is troubled and dark? By his Joy Division t-shirt, of course – DUH!
And Jackie Earle Haley? (Who I enjoy very much) Well, he tries. Many of the reasons Freddy isn't so scary this time around aren't really his fault. First, he's in the light almost from the beginning. While Dunes was ridiculously careful to avoid revealing Krueger's new look prior to release, in the actual movie he's practically in a spotlight from his first appearance. Haley's height is quickly and inexplicably apparent. I mean, no one knows Tom Cruise is 5'5" tall when you see him on screen. Couldn't they afford platforms or a step stool or the Yellow-Pages? The flashbacks only further serve to drop Freddy's intimidation factor. He's less mysterious, less frightening and more pervy and creepy.
In a day and age where we've come full circle on the slasher genre, from the early days where Michael Myers, Freddy and Jason were first born to the self-referential fun of the Scream series and back again, Nightmare 2010 is surprisingly humorless. No one's really having a good time, including the audience and Freddy himself. Scream's killer mocks his victim saying, "You might as well come outside to investigate a strange noise of something." In this movie, Kris (the Tina role from the original) actually does just that before a rehash of the levitation ceiling kill, without the flair or brutality or visual stylization Craven pulled off 25 years prior. Scares are cheap and obvious. Loud sounds, screeches and Freddy constantly popping up behind or beside characters in a series of lame peekaboo scares.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) is disappointing from start to finish. It takes everything that set the "Elm Street" series apart from the standard slasher and shits it away. The result is a snooze-inducing, run-of-the-mill remake that furthers the argument that more times than not Hollywood should leave well enough alone.
Oddly enough, I enjoyed Letters to Juliet a lot more than this one. If I had to sum this review up in as little words as possible, it would go like this… This film BLOWS!

She's ba-ack!
So for this season on How I Met Your Mother, we've had only a few glimpses here and there of the titular Mother played by the so-lovely-it-hurts Cristin Milioti. However in tonight's mid-season finale, fans discovered even more amazing details about Ted's (Josh Radnor) future wife--and yet another member of the HIMYM gang got to meet her.
While walking the last five miles to the Far Hampton Inn, Marshall (Jason Segal) was losing steam and energy when all of the sudden The Mother drove up (driving gloves and all!) and offered to give our soon-to-be-judge a lift. It was a match made in friendship heaven!
Unfortunately our Mother was actually planning on fleeing from the Far Hampton Inn because the lead singer of her band is a devil in disguise as a really cool and charming dude. Darren (Andrew Rannells) has a knack for walking up to two close friends and then ripping their relationship to shreds in a matter of minutes. Rude
Darren even tried to kick our beautiful, amazing Mother out of the band that she created. (P.S. the name of her band is Super Freakonomics and now we're even more convinced that she and Ted are perfect for each other) The Mother followed Lily's advice and stole Darren's van, but Marshall convinced her that she needed to step up her game and confront the devil.
She didn't, but Ted ended up punching Darren in the face once he broke their third bottle of scotch of the weekend. It was amazing and everyone cheered. Over in the bar The Mother was so thrilled that someone stood up to Darren that she turned to our favorite bartender and said, "Linus, whoever that best man is, I would like to buy him a double of your finest scotch." And that, kids, was the first drink that The Mother ever bought Ted…

text: Pretoria - Mamelodi Sundowns have bagged both awards for the season's fourth quarter as Pitso Mosimane and Teko Modise were named PSL coach and player of Q4 for their efforts over the last five games.Mosimane guided his team to five wins from as many games, claiming a full compliment of points en route to securing the top spot in the league and putting the Pretoria outfit in pole position to lift the Premiership trophy later this week."We are humble to be here, we are honoured," Mosimane said after receiving the award in Johannesburg."It's because of the hard work, the perseverance of the players. If we do our work hard, we are bound to be in the position where we are."The 49-year-old has been the pick of the coaches this season, claiming a second coach of the quarter award, following his achievement earlier this year, when he was rewarded for his efforts during Q2."It's a good gesture, but we would like to have the big fish (league title)," Mosimane said."When I came over to Sundowns, the team were second-bottom on the log. My job was to make sure that I put out fires and that Sundowns should not get relegated."Last season was very tough. We got ambitious and we fought hard."Modise, meanwhile, has been in startling form since the new year and has been instrumental for the log-leaders, backing up his form on the pitch with an integral leadership role within Sundowns' ranks. He has assumed the captaincy duties on numerous occasions during their campaign."I was happy when I was told that I had won the award. It's been a while since Teko has won anything," Modise said."It's about time that a Sundowns player won this award and I'm grateful and I hope that I can improve."

Edy Reja hailed Lazio's character as they fought back in Florence and match-winner Miroslav Klose.
"This was the victory of a team with great character, especially in the second half when we were running low on energy," he said of the 2-1 win over Fiorentina.
Alessio Cerci had put the home side ahead, but Hernanes and a late Klose header turned it around.
"It was incredibly hot today and both sides created chances. It was a good game, in the circumstances.
"We did well when defending and kept control of the tempo. It is true we were suffering in the second half, so I introduced Matuzalem.
"Cristian Brocchi deserves particular praise, as he is extraordinary in how he sacrifices himself for the team. I just hope he can keep it up for the whole season.
"As for Klose, he is a fantastic striker and I already wanted him at Lazio in January."

Charlie Sheen has reportedly quit his hit sitcom "Two & a Half Men" after seven seasons.
The troubled actor has no plans to return for the show's eighth season, according to People.com, and has refused to sign a new contract extending his stay on the comedy, which also stars Jon Cryer.
A source says, "Charlie's just done and he's quietly telling his friends he's not coming back. He wants to move on."
Sheen has had a tough start to 2010 following a Christmas Day fight with his wife Brooke Mueller.
The actor, who faces domestic violence charges, entered rehab on February 24.
A set insider says, "Negotiations are ongoing and nothing has been determined."

Our libtool package still has it (which is good, otherwise we'd break all the LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE's out there ;-) > Its not autoconf's fault. :) Well, I don't know who's fault it is (and it doesn't really matter), but AFAICT, the problem we currently have is this: Newer software that uses GNU configure and libtool no longer uses "ltconfig" to configure libtool. LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE is fine in this case to generate the appropriate link to our libtool. If, however, we use our own autoconf (e.g. for buildlink) to re-generate the configure script from "configure.in", the requirement for "ltconfig" suddenly reappears. In this case, LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE no longer helps, because the configure script exists complaining about a missing "ltconfig". That's what broke imlib and that's what's going to break any other updated software that uses the new libtool/autoconf/whatever_there_is_to_blame. Cheers , Rene

I gave you a little tease on St. Pattys day about my Shepherds Pie. Well here she is in all her glory. Do you hear the bag pipes in the distance?? Or was that angels singing? What ever it was, you will hear glorious music when you bite into this casserole.
Many a years I have been completely drunk at the Irish Pub for "The Holiday", insisting on eating the Shepherds Pie they plop on my plate. And to be honest it is always bland and nasty to be quite honest. But I still feel the need to order it. I suppose it is some sort of tradition.
A few years back I was on a mission to make a more flavorful version of the gruel. And I think I hit the nail on the head with this one folks. Try it and I think you agree, it is FABULOUS. And if you don't agree, well then you have serious issues! Sick Psychiatric issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hungry Housewife's Guinness Shepherds Pie
1 (1lb) bag frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
2 packets of dry Brown Gravy Mix
1 medium onion
Olive Oil
2 bottles Guinness Beer

3 pounds baking potatoes
¼- ½ cup milk
1 stick butter
Salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 375

The issues are obvious to all California citizens:
Why are tuition and fees at California State universities and colleges so high?
Why is distance learning not being effectively utilized?
Private companies like The Teaching Company
offer video lecture courses of superior quality for as little as $70.
(See samples).
What, besides inertia, greed, and laziness, prevents the UC/CalState system from doing the same thing?
Why is the UC Board of Regents so loaded with corporate executives and financiers?
How many students are borrowing money to pay their tuition and how much? What are the interest rates? How many students are defaulting?
Is accreditation necessary, or a scheme for preserving monopolies in higher education?
Are colleges and universities adequately preparing young people to succeed?
The issues are obvious to all California citizens:
