What does a diesel particulate filter do?
The DPF is fitted within the exhaust system and is designed to catch soot particles and nitrous oxide (NOx) from the combustion process that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere. The DPF is highly effective and traps around 80 per cent of these harmful particulates.
Why do modern diesel engines need a particulate filter?
European legislation places increasingly strict exhaust emissions targets on all vehicle manufacturers. From September 2009, the 'Euro 5' legislative standard came into effect, part of which required all diesel cars registered from that point on to be equipped with a diesel particulate filter, or DPF.
These filters are used throughout the industry in all diesel-powered passenger vehicles, and the efficiency of this system is becoming increasingly important now that tougher 'Euro 6' emissions standards came into effect in September 2014.
Do I need to replace a diesel particulate filter during normal servicing?
Diesel particulate filters do have a capacity limit and can become full. But unlike traditional air, oil or pollen filters that need to be exchanged manually at regular intervals, the DPF has a much longer service life and is designed to be regenerated to restore its performance. The car's electronic control unit (ECU) is programmed to do this automatically, neutralising the soot by burning it off at high temperature within the exhaust system while the vehicle is running. All modern cars with diesel engines follow this procedure.
How does this regeneration occur?
The regeneration occurs automatically, usually without the driver being aware that it is taking place. In the majority of cases, the process is carried out when the engine and exhaust system is up to normal operating temperature and the vehicle is travelling at over 40mph.
However, if your driving is limited to inside the city, the low speeds and frequent stops mean the conditions for normal regeneration do not exist. In these instances, the ECU monitors the accumulation of soot and instructs an alternative regeneration programme to begin well before the filter becomes saturated.
This programme injects small quantities of fuel into the engine after combustion, thereby increasing the temperature within the exhaust system and creating an environment where it is possible to safely burn off the soot.
This latter method is very successful within the small percentage of vehicles where normal regeneration is not possible. However, due to the nature of city traffic, the regeneration process can be interrupted when the vehicle completes its short journey and is turned off. If this occurs, the ECU is programmed to recommence the process when the engine is restarted and back up to temperature again.
How can I ensure that the DPF regeneration process completes successfully?
By creating frequent opportunities for the ECU to complete its normal regeneration programme. Quite simply, this means regularly driving the car at a sustained speed above 40mph for a period of at least ten minutes.
Will I be warned if all DPF regeneration processes have been unsuccessful?
Very occasionally, use of the vehicle might be such that it will have been impossible for the ECU to complete the administration of any regeneration procedure. At this point, the DPF will have become overloaded and stopped functioning, so the vehicle will illuminate a warning light in the dashboard. It will then be necessary for the soot to be neutralised and the filter regenerated manually at a main dealer.
It is extremely unwise to ignore this visual warning as the DPF can become irreparably damaged. What's more, it is illegal to remove the filter entirely.

It left my hair soft, smooth, shiny and is a light weight formula so you can still create body with the hair. Roman explained this is essential for growing your hair as it fills in brittle split ends so you don't constantly need a trim. It only cost me around $40 for the in-salon treatment (which came with an amazing scalp massage) and another $40 for the at-home kit which should last about 24 weeks (6 tubes). It completely recharged my damaged brittle ends and strengthened my hair and texture.
How to use:
- Substitute your conditioner every 4th wash (about every 2 weeks) with the Re-charge Booster.
- Use half a tube per application. (6 tubes in total)
- Apply to shampooed lengths and ends and massage into the hair fiber.
- Leave for 5 minutes before thoroughly rinsing it out.
Ask your salon for the PRO Fiber APTYL 100 in-salon treatment. Salon treatment prices will range from $30-$60. At-home care kit ranges from $35-$50

I went to a nice event on Capitol Hill this evening to celebrate the thirty-fifth anniversary of the American Association of University Women lobby corps. I volunteered on the lobby corps for almost three years. It was one of those things that I didn't have a lot of fun doing, but I was really glad I did it for the learning experience of how things work on Capitol Hill and how service organizations interact with Congress.
I hadn't seen several of the AAUW members in awhile. But it was good to discuss Budget Justified with them and offer to give a talk about it at their meetings in the fall.

You have probably known the rise in Singapore's property prices coinciding associated with acceleration of the economy. You have also probably heard that as a result of changes in various housing rules, acquiring property within Singapore has become easier for those purchasing domestically and from foreign usa.
Condos are especially well-liked of foreign buyers. Singapore authorities used to possess a rule in which a far off buyer could only purchase an apartment in a building higher than six stories and the apartment had to be considered a condominium. This rule no longer applies, but has not interfered with condo sales within properties.
Yet to purchase a rental as a result of what's called Executive Condominium projects (EC), you must consist Singapore citizen or resident and the purchase have got to take place anywhere between the sixth and tenth year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was granted. Any foreigners or corporate bodies who aren't permanent residents of Singapore are not eligible purchase an EC. But authorities that if you tend to be a foreigner or part of a corporate body, you can acquire an EC if it is in its eleventh year from the date the Temporary Occupation Permit was issued.
So if you are a permanent citizen or a corporate body who wishes to purchase an EC, the appropriate action is to locate the developer simply because particular area obtain the information you need to make your purchase. If you are a foreigner or corporate body seeking purchase an EC, you should also check with the developer in where you reside you are considering so that you might find that what ECs have a their eleventh year and beyond.
But if you will want a good condo, you will go the EC route or you can look into apartments and condos that have apartments that are considered condos. It essentially depends on your citizenship, if a person part of a business body that has relocated in Singapore, or what involving money you wish to spend. Although property prices within jade scape singapore have seen a rise, that rise is due to your demand and success of the economy, which cannot be overlooked. These successes have resulted in a successful real estate market that involves anything from homes to the perfect condo, so make sure you look into purchasing property in Singapore if you are relocating domestically or relocating abroad.


text: This patch is one alternative to solve the problem detailed in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816465 Some other unidentified library in use by libvirtd (in another thread) is apparently temporarily binding to a NETLINK_ROUTE raw socket with an address of "pid of libvirtd" during startup. This is the same address used by libnl for the first netlink socket it binds, and the netlink socket allocated for virNetlinkEventServiceStart() happens to be that first socket; the result is that nl_connect() fails about 15-20% of the time (but apparently only if there is a guest running at the time libvirtd starts). Testing has shown that in the case that nl_connect fails the first time, retrying it after a 500msec sleep leads to success 100% of the time, so this patch doubles that delay (which also has 100% success rate. An alternate patch is to allocate an extra nl_handle that will never be used, thus effectively "reserving" the "pid of libvirtd" address for the mystery library. I will be sending that in a separate patch so everyone has the change to choose. (Note that a similar-looking problem came up over a year ago with the libnl usage by macvtap code. At that time Stefan Berger found bugs in libnl itself. These new errors are encountered while using the patched libnl; the main problem remaining in libnl is with the semantics of the API, which assumes that libnl is the only entity on the system (or at least in the current process) using netlink sockets, and it can thus make an assumption about what address to use for binding.) --- src/util/virnetlink.c | 15 ++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/virnetlink.c b/src/util/virnetlink.c index b2e9d51..b9dae86 100644 --- a/src/util/virnetlink.c +++ b/src/util/virnetlink.c @@ -355,9 +355,18 @@ virNetlinkEventServiceStart(void) } if (nl_connect(srv->netlinknh, NETLINK_ROUTE) < 0) { - virReportSystemError(errno, - "%s", _("cannot connect to netlink socket")); - goto error_server; + /* the address that libnl wants to use for this connect ("pid + * of libvirtd") is sometimes temporarily in use by some other + * unidentified code.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — A parade of mourners created a makeshift memorial for two slain Northern California police officers during an emotional vigil held outside the Palm Springs Police Department.
The mourners laid bouquets, written messages and candles outside police headquarters Sunday night, honoring and remembering officers Jose "Gil" Gilbert Vega and Lesley Zerebny, local media reported. The two were shot dead Saturday responding to a domestic disturbance call and a third officer wounded.
Police arrested 26-year-old John Felix after a lengthy standoff. He will be charged Tuesday with murder and could face the death penalty.

Milling & paving work begins Sunday night on Rt. 462 in Lancaster
Harrisburg, PA – A milling and paving operation starts on Sunday night, April 3, on Route 462 through the City of Lancaster. Route 462 is also known locally as King Street.
The operation will run Sunday and the following weeknights from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. on the 2.1-mile portion of Route 462 between West Street on the west end of the city and Broad Street on the east end.
Drivers are advised to be alert to this operation and to slow down when approaching and traveling through the work zone, for their safety as well as the safety of the construction crews.
"Milling" is the mechanical removal of the old asphalt surface of the road. In this situation on Route 462, the milling machine will cut away a depth of about 2 ½-inches depth of the old road surface. The road will then be checked for any further pavement repairs that need to be made.
When the repairs have been completed, a paving operation will follow to resurface the road with new blacktop. This milling and paving work is part of a construction project that started last summer to improve Route 462 through the city. The project includes road base repair, minor drainage improvements, and curb work related to requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as the milling and resurfacing work. PennDOT has contracted New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc. of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, to conduct the highway improvement project.
The contract price of $2,007,169 also includes work that was done on Route 23.
The contract completion date for the project is late June of this year.

Office 1.5, Belgrave Business Centre, 45 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1EP
The next Usui Reiki – Level 1 Training Course will take place on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th November, 2017 at Belgrave Business Centre, 45 Frederick Street, Edinburgh.
Reiki Level 1 training is an introduction to working with Universal Life Force Energy – the energy that runs through and around us, and the state of which determines how we feel and function on a daily basis.
This course is for those interested in learning how to use Reiki for self and family (you cannot practice Reiki on a Professional basis until you have completed Level II, at least).
It's also a useful tool for Therapists to learn to enhance treatments which they already provide.
The Course is Validated for Insurance purposes by IPTI (Independent Professional Therapists International).
The cost of the course is £150.00 (£135.00 for Early Bird payment by 5th November 2017) which includes a Reiki Level I Manual, course Certificate and herbal teas. The cost can be divided into 3 monthly instalments if preferred (first payment by Sunday 5th November 2017). Otherwise, a £50.00 deposit or full payment should be made by Sunday 5th November 2017. Balance of payment to be made on first day of Course.
To book your space, please contact me as early as possible.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique using "Universal Life Force Energy", the energy that is flowing abundantly around and within all living things.
When we are in excellent health, there is a powerful flow through the body. However, during stressful times, this energy flow is slowed down or restricted, manifesting as illness, mental or emotional upset or a general feeling of "out of sorts".
Reiki is a way of channelling energy through the hands of an attuned practitioner, which are placed on or above different parts of the client's fully clothed body. Reiki re-balances and harmonises the recipient in a holistic way on a physical, mental, emotional & spiritual level and accelerates the body's own natural healing process. The healing energy flows to wherever it is needed in the body; promoting deep relaxation and a feeling of profound wellbeing and greater inner calm.
Suitable for people of all ages and in all states of health and can help to kick start your body's own natural healing abilities bringing you back to a more healthy and balanced state. I work with the Usui System of Reiki.

Catalog text by Élisabeth Védrenne
If, as Andrea Branzi wrote, ?objects are compagnons in the lives of men... which tell a story?, then Martine Bedin?s vases tell stories of light and shadow, of walls and stones, of architecture, of a Rome at once antique and contemporary. A story of fragments of life and of life?s shadow: death. In fact, of both faces of a same thing. Each thing comes with its own Shadow, the title of this series of fifteen vases. Each white vase has its black shadow, each black vase its glimmer.
Why does one speak of Rome as eternal? Perhaps because of its cannibalism, nourrishing itself of its own substance, of its successive deaths, and because its ren- aissances are built upon its remains, from its own ruins. A city of bricks and marble, it grew up lazily upon its heap of well compressed pebbles, with here and there open pockets of air, just like inside Martine Bedin?s paunchy vases, replete with cubes strangely reminiscent of the squarish sanpietrinis, which, after paving Saint Peter?s Square, slowly wear out along Roman backstreets.
Martine Bedin is an architect. Her work in Milan with the Memphis group could only have strengthened her taste for construction, design and structure. Later, she would draft numerous ideal houses and realise ?la Maison Rouge? in Bordeaux. Over the years, she would invent a genuine language of images, a vocabulary of miniature architectures. Furnishings, cupboards, libraries, objects, jewels, vases (particularly the splendid Piotr vase of 1985, leaning like the Tower of Pisa, and layered with verde francia and bianco carrara marbles), constitute more and more often subtle layered compositions. The latin word construere means piling up in layers, place in orderly layers. This talent for composites, for layered compositions, this inclination for building with sediments, layers, like cakes, originates probably with her master Ettore Sottsass. Remember the totems, the ceramics pieces and the Ziggurat, the furniture shaped like so many multilayered Babel towers... How could one not recall the series of his cylindrical vases with women?s first names: Justine, Juliet etc..., created by the great designer at the Manufacture of Sèvres in 1994, those vases with their bent heads which seem to be nodding... and seem to echo some vases of this Shadow series, whose unstable balance makes them look as though they are about to crumble by the wayside? From Sottsass as well comes her love for the archaic forms of utilitarian objects, and what is more archaic than a pitcher whose wide hipped form was invented by man since the beginning of time? The inside of the archetypal vase is necessarily empty, since it is traditionally conceived to hold water, symbol of life, and also cut flowers, symbol of passing time. The vase has become urn, holder of her metaphors. If Martine Bedin seems to have definitely left behind the industrial world and if the objects she creates are more and more often unique, sophisticated pieces showing the knowhow of an accomplished craftsman, she has yet preserved a part of their role, of their use.
It seems important to me to emphasize that Martine Bedin upholds the definition Sottsass gave of design: ?One must distinguish between the word ?design? and the expression ?industrial design?. In English, Design means a project and he who creates a design, a draft, a project, has been doing it since prehistorical times. Whereas the job of the one who designs for industry has only existed for a mere two centuries. If a man who lived a few million years ago, put together a few shells for his lady love, he was working on a project, thence a design.? Martine Bedin seems therefor not to have cut away from her origins.
The vases from the Shadow series hold the type of space necessary to contain a flower or ?a bunch of daisies? heads picked by children?, a jolly signal of the love of life, but an even stronger signal of time?s fragility.
Only that her vases hold no water. They have swallowed stones. They have a belly full of pebbles, which overflow sometimes at the collar, like stones that have been thrown.
The other peculiar thing about these vases is that they look paunchy only from the front; from the side they appear flat, thinly sliced. As though one saw them after they had gone through X rays, with the dense parts white and the empty ones black. This game of empty and full, of white and black, spheres and cubes, symmetry and dyssymmetry, order and disorder, flat and thick... is complex and more mysterious than appears at first sight. Very much complete and refined, artfully hewn out of many times polished marbles and ebony, dense, even hard, these vases generate a sort of disturbance, perhaps because of that very perfection. Then again one thinks of Rome, of its stone filled innards, of its Testaccio hill built from the piling up of terra cotta shards, of its ruins broken to bits, of its fragments of marble set in its walls, of the unsealed pavements of its antique vias... These vases keep bringing one back to Rome over and over, a somber Rome, with Piranesi?s funereal urns, a Rome unreal, metaphysical à la De Chirico, where the shadows cast by statues seem more real than the statues them- selves, a Rome impenetrable, immortal, cast in marble. A city bathed in the white and dull cold light of the full moon. The marble in the vases is taught and very heavy, but with a soft satin polish that has no gleam. A lunar white, as though blunted, all forms swallowed. A deep opaque black, reflecting nothing. The black and white of silence. The sort of silence one imagines resides in the center of the earth, just where for millenia precisely, marbles have been forged.
The Shadow vases bring back an obsessive memory. When I was little, I was often taken to Cerveteri, North of Rome. There I liked to frighten myself entering the Etruscan tombs dug deep down the soft tufa stone. There were no tourists then and so one could stay all alone with oneself and one?s imagination, the unknown darkness and silence gradually being tamed and wrapping around you like a shady scarf. And I played at losing touch with life and the colours from the laurel bushes outside, at ?feeling? the unspeakable presence of death constructed undissociably from this opaque silence and that mute shadow, that invaded you like a deafening, tactile, almost inhuman breath. I felt incredibly calm, protected, while at the same time icecold, hard as marble. I had forgot- ten that experience, albeit so powerful: Martine Bedin?s talent unearthed it from within the shadows of my memory.

The Torugart Pass is a remote mountain border
crossing between Kyrgyzstan and China. In 1905 the British Consul in

half a mile into China itself. A major player in "The Great Game"
between the British and Russian Empires both of which were seeking
influence in Central Asia, he reported to his superiors that the road

text: I have spent at least a few hours trying all different ways to get a texture to fit the angle of a beam and I can't do it. It's a wooden beam and the texture won't align with the angle of the beam. I try to rotate it and it just doesn't look right. I have tried everthing. I copied and pasted another beam in from a different map to copy and paste the texture and that doesn't work. How do you do this? Thanks.

NICK Wainwright is headed back to Thundersport after a year out, and admits he's eyeing the top spot in the GP1 Classic ranks this season despite his absence.
The 2016 Golden Era Supersport runner-up says he's been working tirelessly behind the scenes to put everything in place for 2018, but is ready to launch an assault on the recently-formed big bike class.
Thundersport's GP1 Classic category was launched in 2017 with a goal to get early 1000cc of the late '90s and early '00s back on track. Wainwright and his Paintzfiction Racing squad are preparing a pre-injection Yamaha R1 which they believe will do the job more than adequately.
"The aim is to be at the sharp end once again," he told UK Clubsport. "I believe that with the GP1 Classic bikes, the prep and set up is going to be key to success as well as having a competitive bike."
"Mark at Paintzfiction Racing has built just that with well-renowned engine builder John Warrington and Chris Pool on board once again."

Beijing 2008
Olympics aside, Beijing's pollution is special. While competing as the noisiest city in the world, direct sunlight and distinct cloud outlines are indeed rare. This – along with the shortsighted, over-anxious nature of government censorship — fosters the sense of living in a bubble, a manufactured environment, a kind of limbo with an undefined sky.
The ratio of women to men adds to the air of desperation, 119 men for every 100 women, most of whom fall prey to a naïve and gargantuan sense of entitlement due to being doted on by one-child policy parents. Yet with so much physical and cultural change occurring before their very eyes, it's understandable, the feeling that nobody wants to be left behind. Rock music only arrived in China twenty years ago. In 1985, rock bands were not allowed by the government to play outside private parties. Now, China has its own brand of hip-hop.
A taxi driver once remarked to me, "We working people don't like what's going on in Beijing," a reference to the record-scale remodeling efforts ahead of the Olympics and subsequent earnings from corruption, cited by leading Olympic "Bird's Nest" architect Ai WeiWei in a Der Spiegel article earlier this year.
Aside from the Sichuan earthquake, and allegations of Indian exiles with UK passports stirring pro-Dalai Lama dissent around Aba (for an uprising which was supposed to happen in July), China has suffered heavy criticism for a deteriorating human rights record leading up to the Olympics. Persecution of petitioners are only one example, explored in a 2007 UK documentary called "China's Olympic Lie," now making rounds over the internet. All of this tends to sway public opinion towards a negative view of a leadership called a "group of goons and thugs" by CNN commentator Jack Cafferty. Even after the apology, the negativity stuck, all the way into a lawsuit against CNN in China.
But there's an independent layer to all this, something called "cop culture." It's all over the world, the job produces the same symptoms in law enforcement personnel wherever you might find them. It's the choice of language, the way they handle themselves. The way two cops from different countries seem to understand each other is different from how two civilians find ways to understand each other, let alone the politicians. A byproduct of this culture is a tiny population of people who put aside their personal aspirations and agendas for something greater than themselves, and in the best cases, leave politics a lot of room to catch up.
There is one instance which not only defines this culture, but in a blind justice kind of way, does not play into current events the way politicians might want it to – in this case, politicians from Beijing and Washington. This instance was the 125 case, otherwise known as "Operation City Lights," the historic US/China collaboration which ended in the takedown of the world's biggest Asian heroin ring in 2003. It wasn't just the takedown, nor the meticulous navigation through one of the worst political climates between two superpowers in history, a prerequisite to accomplishing the takedown. It was what emerged, of which we were allowed a glimpse, that stirred and surfaced in a glorious precious moment, something we as people might bear witness to in defense of our existence if we ever had to. One might call it Edge, the guts to go beyond, finally hitting the mark – which the Greeks called Virtue.
When I first met him in person (after six months of emails and phone calls), walking into his hotel room in Kunming in September 2006, I could sense the caution. This was the first encounter with someone who had done a career-load of DEA undercover work, since 1978, and by the end of his career he was the DEA country attaché, reporting directly to the Ambassador, his position directly appointed by the President of the United States.
Los Angeles, 1992
A delegation of some thirty Chinese cops were in town, visiting from Yunnan Province. Although there were no official arrangements, no trips to Universal Studios, and the Chinese had arranged their own transportation, Jimmy, as his responsibility usually dictated, was still set to play the host. In reality, as always, he was hoping to score some off-the-record sense of the state of affairs in the country of his guests.
With no DEA office yet in mainland China, the closest assessment of what was going on there routinely came from the occasional whisper or rumor picked up by DEA Hong Kong. Jimmy wondered if this time, he might be able to piece together a more complete picture to the equation which, at present without factoring in Chinese seizure reports, left the regional (Asian) average at no more than half a ton per year.
As there was no official lunch, the Chinese invited Jimmy to Chinatown to share a meal. In his best pidgin Mandarin, Jimmy managed to get into some issues concerning the Burmese border with China. The DEA believed, he said, that Khun Sa and a handful of his lieutenants were the biggest, most formidable group in that area.
"Ha! Khun Sa is peanuts!" was the response. "We've got other people, Wei brothers, Lin Ming-xien, Peng Chia-sheng, the Ko Kang… Jimmy, you want big guys? These are the guys that cause China problems. And we take four tons of dope out of them a year." The Chinese were working on a group a little north of Khun Sa's people who had been responsible for the killings of Chinese counternarcotics agents along
the Yunnan/Burma border.
It was a shock, Jimmy couldn't believe it, the DEA never knew. He grabbed a napkin and asked for the names. Arriving back in his office, Jimmy approached John Whalen, an ex-Marine Captain, an intelligence-type. He handed the napkin to Whalen, who returned with a list of names thirty minutes later.
"Yeah, we know about these guys. They're big."
They were so big, in fact, that one of the names on that list turned out to be in the 125 group, the world's biggest heroin smugglers, nicknamed 125 for the weight in kilos of the ringleader.
"So who's working them?" Jimmy asked.
"Nobody," Whalen uncomfortably replied.
"Oh. Okay…" Jimmy drifted, his perception of China just beginning to change, at that moment. It was the new playing field, a target-rich environment with real, tangible groups, identified, operating at the highest level in volumes that dwarfed anything known before. The names on the paper napkin, the four-ton seizures, were strategic intelligence, which then would go into a threat assessment, which would then be incorporated into a proposal, which was instrumental in the decision to open an office in China. Finally, in 1997, Jiang Zhemin and Bill Clinton signed the Mutual Law Enforcement Cooperation Agreement, and the post which Jimmy would eventually fill was created.
New York, 2001
The FBI were making undercover heroin purchases off two Hong Kong nationals in New York, Cheung and Lau. As it turned out while reviewing the surveillance, Cheung was driving a car that was registered in Boston by another Chinese man. Why was Cheung driving another guy's car? And who was this guy? FBI agents wrote a subpoena which was signed and sent to the telephone company to get a record of all incoming and outgoing calls made by the car's owner in Boston over the prior six months. A woman at the phone company received the subpoena and walked away from her desk into a special area behind glass doors. Usually what is asked for is a three-month or six-month phone toll. In this case, the FBI learned that their target had made some phone calls – there were three numbers — to a city in China called Fuzhou.
For the FBI, the case was at a dead end. The UC investigation wasn't working for them and they weren't getting what they needed. All they had were the two buyers, the car registered to the other accomplice in Boston, and the three Fuzhou phone numbers. Meanwhile DEA New York had a separate case going, which eventually merged into the FBI case, both looking at the same group. As part of the standard procedure, when intel involves another country, this then becomes the business of the DEA's Country Attaché. It was September 2002 when DEA New York then called Jimmy, now in Beijing, to get the subscriber information – owner and address. When the numbers were plugged into Jimmy's case on 125, it was a fresh morsel of intel, and the case lurched forward.

If you haven't heard of or listened to anything by Elvis Presley, you've no idea what you're missing. This guy was the King of Rock and Roll.
In 1962, Elvis produced a song that has since stolen millions of hearts across the world. Four good decades after his death, the song is still a big thing to his fans. By the end of this video, you'll be singing "Return To Sender."
This song hit the entertainment industry massively, and even more to the fact that it was produced as a movie track for a film named "Girls, Girls, Girls." Talk about a poor Hawaiian fisherman stealing the hearts of all the ladies in the neighborhood with just his great vocal prowess. That was Elvis!
This hit was so much of a thing that in 1993, the United States Postal Service introduced a memorial stamp for Elvis Presley that was used for undelivered mail that needed to "Return To Sender." How cute!
Watch the video here and get your heart warmed by this epic performance. You're going to love this, and don't forget to SHARE with your Facebook friends!

For six consecutive years IGN and THQ have teamed up to bring our readers an ongoing exclusive look at the superstars of the WWE, and this season is no exception. Famous the world over, our "SmackDown Countdown" chronicles each wrestler, diva, and legend that will appear in WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007, and comes complete with never-before-seen screenshots and direct-feed movies of every last one of them. Every day for the next nine weeks, we'll profile more than 60 different personalities (including two each on Mondays and Fridays as a special homage to Raw and SmackDown fans), and for the first time ever, will cover two different platforms with images and video from both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions. Hot stuff? You bet.
But enough with the formalities it's time to throw down with today's Countdown superstar, Carlito!
220 lbs
The Caribbean
|Carlito spits in the face of people who don't want to be cool, and apparently, many WWE Superstars fall into the category. Exceptionally opinionated and full of himself, Carlito projects quite the smooth demeanor. Armed with an apple in hand, Carlito isn't afraid to unload a mouthful of apple and spit it into your face after labeling you not cool. Of course, this has led to a great deal of trouble for Carlito as WWE Superstars haven't taken his attitude well.
Debuting with a big impact, Carlito defeated reigning United States Champion John Cena in his first WWE match in October 2004. Quickly making a lot of enemies, Carlito found himself in need of some back-up. Always scheming, Carlito introduced his Puerto Rican muscle -- Jesus. It was around this time in November 2004 that tragedy struck, as John Cena was stabbed in a Boston nightclub following a SmackDown event. An investigation was launched, but a culprit was never found. However, Carlito and his associate were both rumored to being connected to the hideous attack on Cena.
In February 2006, Carlito said that he had an idea for WrestleMania 22 that was "money in the bank." Later announced that his idea was approved by Mr. McMahon, and the second Money in the Bank Ladder Match was sanctioned for WrestleMania. Unfortunately for Carlito, he was defeated by Rob Van Dam the next week, failing to qualify for the match. However, on RAW, Carlito was still rewarded with a great WrestleMania opportunity, as it was announced that Carlito & Chris Masters would face Big Show and Kane for the World Tag Team Championship. Masters and Carlito attacked the champions that night, and for the next month, the challengers did everything they could to throw the champions off their game. It didn't work, and when the rivalry culminated at WrestleMania, Masters accidentally clobbered Carlito, allowing Big Show and Kane to defeat them and retain the World Tag Team Championship.
What's next for Carlito? Only time will tell -- but one thing's for sure... it has to be cool.

Benefits of Reclaimed Wood
If you're considering using up-cycled or reclaimed wood for furniture, it's a great choice! This decision not only gives your home or business the look of aged beauty, but also helps out the environment. When deciding which materials to use for re-doing your garage or home, many people are overwhelmed with many choices. Reclaimed wood is very popular and the benefits go above and beyond the beauty and character it displays.
Environmentally Friendly:
Recycling wood from salvaged barns and older wood structures, helps slow down growth of landfills. By re-using the wood your helping stop the ever growing landfills from increasing at a faster rate. Modern made products, are frequently made using petroleum based plastic products, which has a negative impact on the environment. By using reclaimed wood, your helping lower production of manufacturing, that is unfriendly to our environment. When converting recycled, wood the manufacturing process is less harsh to our earth. Also keep in mind, using antique wood saves trees in the forest which in turn, saves all our little friends who live there.
Visually Appealing:
Long Term Benefits:
The greatest benefit of using reclaimed wood is the added beauty you just can't get from newer wood. Many wood companies will try and make newer wood look aged or vintage but it's never the same. Creating the vintage look for new lumber is just not the same. Furniture should tell a story and using vintage furniture allows the story to be more interesting.

Museum of Civilization
from my trip to Ottawa.... the museum of civilization was of particular interest to me, because the architect, Douglas Cardinal, had also designed the building where i studied music, Grande Prairie Regional College.

Oh, what a wonderful concept. When I think of the potential for good the US had and how sadly it's fallen into technocratic, economic balkanization rather than efforts toward universal uplift, I could weep.

Terrific photo. I'm embarrassed to say that even though I've been to Ottawa many times, I haven't been to that museum yet...

Wonderful photo. I'm a person who heads for the nearest museum as the first port of call whenever I am travelling. The architecture is stunning!
Best wishes

susan - in many ways, canada is just a less nervy version of the US in that area, but i haven't given up hope.
gary - the photo was taken at roughly 1 a.m. after spending the evening with my friends' elderly neighbor, checking out a neighborhood celtic jam and a pub with a rather good band and excellent guacamole and guiness. then she had to show me her town on the way home. the museum was on the tour. no, she didn't sample the guiness... that was my job.
lindsay - i'm a museum nut too. we did go back during hours of operation and check out the inside, which is no less stunning than the exterior.
- March 31, 2008 at 8:19 AM
- susan said...
Yeah, I know. I haven't actually been gone that long - family, friends and visits :-) Until I was 30 all the rednecks I ever met were Canadian ones.
I guess I'm just growing less tolerant of people not understanding that which needs to be learned soon.
- April 1, 2008 at 7:32 PM
- grannyfiddler said...
susan - maybe it's part of aging... my tolerance levels are pretty low in that area too... it's the carefully cultivated, even malicious, self-serving, myopic IGNORANCE of some people that blows me over the top. mostly because they're largely very wealthy, and could easily afford to make changes that would make a difference.

Maintenance Plumber Technician
Email Address: [email protected]
Growing up in the DMV, I was raised by strong men who worked in the plumbing field. As a third generation plumbing technician, I truly feel like it was something that was ingrained in me from the start. Now, with two growing boys of my own, I'm trying to instill the hard-working generational values that I was taught in my own sons. No matter if they decide to go into the plumbing field or not, I hope I can teach them my ethics of positivity and teamwork instilled at my new work home, Nest DC. In my previous experience in the plumbing field, tension is usually high--it felt like everyone was always two steps from exploding. Here at Nest, it always feels like my coworkers are either smiling or laughing. At Nest I feel like I'm more than just an employee or a number; I feel valuable. When I'm not working hard out in the field, you'll find me spending time with my sons, or fishing and enjoying nature.

Title: Aristophanes' Acharnians
Author: Aristophanes, S Douglas Olson (eds)
Publisher: Oxford University Press; Publication Date: 2004
Paperback; ISBN: 9780199275861
Volumes: 1; Pages: 479
List Price in Paper: $66.00 Our price: $60.99
(Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page)
Aristophanes' Acharnians was performed at the Lenaia festival in Athens in 425 B.C.E. The play is the story of an old peasant farmer, Dikaiopolis, who has grown so disgusted with the Peloponnesian War and the patent self-serving of the city's leading politicians (abetted by the stupidity of his fellow-citizens) that he concludes a separate peace with the enemy. As a result, he gains access to an immense supply of wonderful things, including wine, eels, thrushes, and a pair of beautiful and compliant women. Whether he is a traitor and a villain, or simply the cleverest and most daring man in the city, is a matter of extensive debate within the play. Acharnians itself, at any rate, took first place and is generally regarded as one of Aristophanes' two or three most brilliant surviving comedies. Olson offers the first complete new scholarly edition of the play in almost a century. The text and apparatus are based on a fresh examination of the papyri and manuscripts, many of which have never been studied systematically, and are supported by a new manuscript stemma. The Introduction contains sections on the poet himself; the historical setting and political argument of the play; the mythological and literary background; division of parts, costumes, and props; staging; the use of dialects; and the history of the text. The commentary covers a wide range of literary, historical, and philological issues, with particular attention to staging and details of everyday life. All Greek in the introduction and commentary not cited for technical reasons is translated, making much of the edition accessible to general scholarly readers.

Colorado RTL Apologizes to Constituency for T Party Candidate
CRTL Apologizes to our Constituency
Prior to selecting a "pro-choice" running mate, and just hours after winning at the state assembly, Dan Maes told a pro-abortion media outlet:
"People are overestimating the personhood amendment. It simply defines life as beginning at conception. That's it. Who knows what the intent of it is? They are simply making a statement. That is all I see it as. Do they have another agenda? I don't know... Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, and people tend to forget that. I would not try to undo that." -Dan Maes
In a private meeting shortly after making the above statement, Maes' said that he mispoke and "took it back." We at CRTL should have had more wisdom. We know that "pro-life" politicians typically tell us whatever they think is necessary to get our support. With Maes, we lowered our guard, hoping that a grassroots, tea-party-endorsed, self-proclaimed pro-personhood Republican candidate could be trusted. We see now that we were gullible. We apologize. With the fallen human nature, grassroots and tea-party candidates learn quickly, and can obviously be as deceptive to their base as any establishment politician. Dan Maes selecting a "pro-choice" Lt. Governor shows the apparent truth in his claim that he would not try to "undo" the bloodshed unleashed by Roe. Politicians who cared more about themselves then abolishing slavery held similarly hypocritcal positions. Yet Jesus said, Let your yes be yes, and your no be no. Even if Maes acknowledged the travesty of his LG selection, and dumped Williams, it is hard to see how he could be trusted. But still, for his own conscience' sake, he should do the right thing.
How emphatic does CRTL have to be before our "pro-life" politicians get the point? The only justifiable abortion policy is zero tolerance for child killing.

I often say: If there is any doubt, don't endorse. But once you do endorse, that's when the process of vigilant accountability begins.
Vetting candidates in this environment is difficult. The incumbents are almost all compromised, which means we have to raise up a new generation of leaders. Which means that you're dealing with candidates without much of a public record to look at. You have little to go on but their word.
CRTL has done the right thing. They are to be commended.
