Saturday, October 12, 2002Greenville, S.C. (October 12, 2002) - Sophomore Brad Yewer (Newbury, England) and junior Emily Chaney (Maryville, Tenn.) led the way for the Buccaneer cross-country teams that finished fourth and sixth, respectively, at the Furman Invitational. Yewer finished eighth in the 8k race with a time of 25:58.1 followed by junior David Haefner (Hamburg, N.Y.) who finished in 15th place with a time of 26:21.4. Freshman Peter Dalton (Dublin, Ireland) finished 19th for the Buccaneers with a time of 26:38.3. "Peter ran well, it was his best run to date," said assistant coach Michelle Byrne. Chaney finished 16th for the Buccaneer women with a time of 19:19.4. Freshman Katie Marshall (Metuchen, N.J.) finished 31st for ETSU (20:12.9), followed by Christina Ward (Candler, N.C.) who finished 34th (20:18.3). Jennifer Habbestad finished 39th for the Buccaneers with a time of 20:36.5. "This was a much improved team performance for the women and a step in the right direction," said Byrne. "Jennifer ran her best race of the season today." ETSU will return to action on November 2, as the Buccaneer's travel to Charleston, S.C. for the Southern Conference Championships.

See John's finished rings, pendants and artist's reproductions at johnwgolden.etsy.com.
One thought about the seepage problem. Have you tried putting a coat of Mod Podge around the edges of the paper after you've cut your pieces out? That might be enough to seal the edges so the resin doesn't seep into the paper.
Even though my eyeballs are shooting blood after watching a 30 minute infomercial that would have taken 5 minutes to read (twice) in the normal Instructables format, I still like this project enough to offer suggestions.
1. PLEASE go back through your video and do whatever you have to do to speed up the part where we're watching glue dry. And anything else that does not require us to see the real-time speed with which you do things should be skipped or sped up. The only two speed-critical things in the tutorial are the epoxy stirring and the pouring from the condiment bottle. As you pointed out you really don't want to introduce bubbles, so the speed with which you do those two steps is important to see. But beyond that this should really go a lot quicker. Seriously!
2. Have you tried using a roller to paint the Mod Podge onto the paper? Have you tried printing onto plastic coated freezer paper?
3. Have you tried Elmer's or other white glue instead of Mod Podge? I ask this mostly because one of my pet peeves since Mod Podge was invented has been people calling it Modge Podge. Elmer's is easier to pronounce, less expensive (not much), and pretty much the same product.
4. Have you tried anything but Mod Podge to stop the air bubbles? If you are still getting air bubbles from under the art, you might apply the Mod Podge to the pendant with a condiment bottle (or from an Elmer's glue bottle). Pour enough to cover the bottom of the plate out to the edges and place the art into the pool of glue before pressing it down. You're the expert and I know you only painted 3 coats, but as long as that part takes to view it seems like you have hand painted 50 coats of Mod Podge before you pour the epoxy. Can't you cut the art, fill the pewter with Mod Podge, and sink the art down into it?
5. The last thing you flashed (literally) in your video is the source for your supplies. I would suggest you post that information as text under each of your three videos. What is the name of the epoxy, glue, pendants, etc., and where did you get them. Oh and what should we expect to pay for them? Sometimes that part will determine whether we're interested. For example if the epoxy costs $60 for a quart, that might suggest to some people that this project is not something they might want to try.
6. In fact relative to number 5 above, you should make amatestudios.com a clickable link. I misread it and typed amateurstudios.com which is more of a link to porn sites.
7. Where did you say you got your art? Do you print it on an inkjet printer? There's absolutely no way I'm going back to watch it again to find out.
All in all I think this is a great project but could benefit greatly from being rewritten as a real Instructable. Write up an intro, illustrated parts list with sources to buy from, prices, and list of the disposables (wax paper, cups, stirrers, etc.), and illustrated several steps of instructions. Include about 10-20 high quality photos and about 30 seconds of total video to show stirring and pouring speed.
I'm appalled at the "constructive comments" as well. I am a HS teacher--i would show these exactly as given. Did i need to see every single thing you showed after being an artist and art teacher for over 40 years? Probably not. However, not everyone comes into a craft with the same experiences--your videos show things from the ground up.
Mod Podge or Modge Podge---who cares??? and if you do much paper crafting, paper jewelry or scrapbooking, you quickly learn there's a huge difference in Elmer's & other true decoupage or crafting mediums. Everything has it's purpose.
If a video is too slow for you, then use that little button at the bottom and speed it up. OR better yet, use the little stop button!
You were clear about what you did and one of the best parts was showing all the prep work
This was clear concise and wonderful and I really appreciate your work on this
I am still trying to find a retailer for the rings, but the pendants cn be purchased at Artway:

Gallery: Elegant LOTT Clean Water Alliance Building Shows the Sexier Si...
Located on the site of its existing Budd Inlet Treatment Plant, the new facility provides space for a new water treatment laboratory, office space for all the district's employees and the "WET Center" (Water Educational and Technology Center) for community outreach and childrens' programs. The new four-story building was designed with a contemporary, industrial aesthetic, and serves as an iconic symbol for the neighborhood. The Miller Hull Partnership was able to reduce energy use by 50% within the building through the use of natural lighting, exterior louvers and energy efficient design. Reclaimed timbers from a warehouse that was demolished near the site were used in construction of the building.
A public plaza and pond surrounding the building is the heart of the facility and part of the low energywater reclamation system. Water from the pond is used for irrigation, toilet flushing, industrial uses and irrigation for the green roof on top of the building. In order to enter the building visitors must cross over one of two bridges over the pond and interactive exhibits explain the pond and the water reclamation system. Landscape design around the building focuses on native plant and water reduction strategies.

P.s. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. I need a new camera.
Step 1: Getting your supplies
Duck tape ( Or any tape, Duck tape just looks cool.)
A small screw ( One for each grenade. It is very important you get the right size so try a few different types)
An easter egg. ( Preferably with holes in the top, and I think yellow looks coolest)
Sand Paper. ( I find a rotary tool to be much easier, but you may not have one.)
A pencil.
And of course, Air soft pellets. ( I used .2 grams)
There you have it! you can start building now
make a vid
spell it
also, having the words "Energy Shot" on the front of a launcher like this sounds pretty cool 8)
this is probably some of the best work i have seen on a cheap reusable grenade...
but thats just it... its not exactly a grenade... I want something just like this except it fires on impact.... how can you or me if I make one make it so that it fires when the bottom of your grenade is struck... i'm sure it is already heavy enough that if you threw it would land bottom down most of the time... once that is done... I could easily make it shoot out instead of up (noting that it is landing and firing with the egg part up)...
anyways... great job... think about my idea though... :D
Couldn't have made it better myself!

Wow, this is an old thread, but it got brought up so here goes....
Oil field tubular goods don't become magnetic due to motion, they become magnetic by being in the earth for a period of time.
Bury any large, long metallic object in the earth (and pipelines are both large and very, very long. Drilling tubulars are lesser so but still qualify) for a period of time and they become magnetized by the earths magnetic field.
It's that simple.
Even severely magnetized pipe can be welded successfully to code standards.

First you will need a gauss meter either build your own ($6 and a interesting project) http://web-ee.com/schematics/instrum...ld-gaussmeter/
or buy one http://www.amazon.com/E-L-F-Zone-E-L.../dp/B000519WXA
You can check the field strength of the pipe by placing the meter at one end of the pipe. It will tell you if it's + or -. Next take your welding machine and hook up the + cable to the - side of the pipe and the - cable to the + side of the pipe. What you will want to do now is set the machine to the lowest setting energize it and slowly turn it up with the gauss meter at one end ( it helps to have someone to help you ). You will reach a point that the charge in the opposite direction will create a field that will overcome the existing field and reverse it. Stop at this point. After the reading on the meter is reversed it should be reading a lower intensity level, but in the opposite direction ( from + to -). Now you switch the cables on the machine or pipe tot he opposite side. Lower the energy level and repeat the sequence, stepping down every time.
It may take a little practice, and you can over compensate strengthening the field in the opposite direction. Just start over. A pipe should only take about 5 minutes to demag, tops.

7018 seems to be the rod of choice. The easiest way to demagnetize ferrous metals is to pass an AC current through it.John

Spanning the range from basic work truck to well-equipped off-road or sport truck, the Toyota Tacoma gives truck enthusiasts what they need or want, without having to get a full-size pickup. Compared to full-size trucks, the Tacoma is more maneuverable and can be parked in places a full-size truck never could. With the 4-cylinder engine, the Tacoma is one of the most fuel-efficient pickups available. In Pre-Runner or rugged off-road forms, it's a good-looking sport truck serving a specialized task. While the interiors of Tacoma models are not particularly luxurious, Toyota has equipped the trucks with the latest in sound systems and infotainment.
Compare the 2015 Toyota Tacoma against similar models
Ahead of a major redesign slated for next year, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma has only minor changes. Notably, the regular cab model has been dropped, leaving only the extended Access Cab and the 4-door Double Cab. Elsewhere, a new off-road TRD Pro package has joined the lineup.
A vehicle's warranty can significant impact your maintenance costs after you drive off the dealer's lot, and it's important to understand the different parts. Typically, a new car warranty includes a Basic warranty, which covers everything except the wear items such as brakes and tires; and a Drivetrain warranty, that covers all the parts that make the car move, such as the engine and transmission
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) provides consumers with vehicle safety information based on independent testing, primarily front and side crash rating results, and more recently rollover ratings, to aid consumers in their vehicle purchase decisions.

An all-new 2016 Toyota Tacoma goes on sale fall 2015.
Until then, the 2015 Toyota Tacoma is available, a second-generation product launched as a 2005 model. Tacoma is unchanged for 2015, although there is a new Tacoma TRD Pro model available. TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development.
Toyota has been off-road racing for three decades and has more than 300 victories, and the 2015 Tacoma TRD Pro continues that heritage. There are also TRD Pro models for the Tundra and 4Runner.
Tacoma TRD Pro has its own suspension geometry with fat Bilstein dampers, tuned stainless twin exhaust, unique interior color, big BF Goodrich offroad tires, black bead-lock 16-inch alloy wheels, TRD trim and badging, and more.
Tacoma has been the most popular pickup in its class for a decade, with many awards over that time. Its main rivals are the new Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Tacoma dominates the segment with more than 100,000 sold each year, while some competitors have left the stage, namely Ford Ranger and Dodge Dakota.
Tacoma offers a comfortable cab, refined ride, responsive handling, and quality construction with proven offroad capability and durability. It comes in many configurations to meet a wide range of needs, from 2WD work truck with four-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual transmission, to a loaded V6 4WD Double Cab Long Bed with rear seats that offer sedan-sized room. Properly equipped Tacoma V6 models can to tow up to 6,500 pounds.
The tried-and-true no-frills bench-seat Regular Cab Tacoma has been dropped, long may she live. Even the base Tacoma has rear seating and three doors.
Toyota Racing Development offers parts to sharpen the performance, both on and off road. The Off Road Package includes much of the equipment on the TRD Pro models, including Bilstein off-road shocks, locking rear differential, advanced ATRAC traction control and other electronic off-road assists, an engine skid plate, tow hook, many luxury and convenience items and special graphics.
The 2015 Tacoma is available in 19 different models and configurations, from Access Cab with a 6-foot bed to Double Cab with available 5-foot bed. The base engine is a 2.7-liter inline 4-cylinder mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, with a 4-speed automatic optional. A 4.0-liter V6 is standard on 4WD and long-bed Double Cabs, and optional on some other models. Four-wheel-drive is available throughout the line. Other available transmissions include a 5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual.
The 4×2 Access Cab with 4-cylinder engine and 5-speed manual transmission is entry level at $20,965. After 18 price jumps, you're at the fully loaded TRD Pro 4×4 Double Cab V6 with 5-speed automatic ($37,615).
Standard features on the Access Cab and Double Cab models are plentiful, with bucket seats, floor and ceiling consoles, and 6-speaker sound systems. Double Cab V6 models offer a premium JBL system with amplified subwoofer, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, Navigation, Entune, and App Suite, with steering wheel controls.
Tacoma PreRunner models are 2WD, but feature the high stance and general appearance of a 4WD truck. (Desert racers use this style of truck to scout or pre-run the course before the big race.) The four-cylinder Access Cab with 4-speed automatic transmission ($22,525) is the entry-level PreRunner. The V6 is optional on PreRunner Access Cabs and Double Cabs.
There are five core packages: a convenience package, two levels of SR5 and two levels of TRD, sport and off-road.
A Convenience Package for Access Cabs and Double Cabs adds rear privacy glass, a sliding rear window, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control, power mirrors and remote keyless entry.
The SR5 Package gives a monochrome look, with body-color bumpers, mirrors, door handles, fender flares, and grille surround, with smoked headlamps. Tires are 245/75R16 on black alloy wheels. SR5 packages bundle styling and comfort features such as bucket seats with lumbar support, and a long list of car-like conveniences. Price varies ($665-840) depending on body style and trim level.
The TRD Sport Package starts with SR5 equipment and adds or substitutes P265/65R17 tires, sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, water-resistant sport seats, overhead console and with compass and outside temperature, rearview camera, and turn signals integrated into the outside mirrors; plus a hood scoop, lots of body-color trim, and its own graphics package. The TRD Sport Package is available only with the V6, and only PreRunners and 4×4's with Access Cab ($3190) or Double Cab ($3055).
The TRD Off-Road Package also starts with the SR5 equipment and adds or substitutes BF Goodrich P265/70R16 tires, locking rear differential, off-road suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, ATRAC off-road traction control, engine skidplate, sport seats, overhead console with compass and outside temperature, rearview camera, heavy-duty front tow hook, 115v/400w deck-mounted power point, and unique TRD graphics. TRD Off-Road is also available only on V6 PreRunners and on V6 model 4×4 Access and Double Cabs, but not on Double Cab Long Beds. Price varies ($3185-3585) depending on model.
A Limited Package ($7010), available only on Double Cabs with V6 and automatic transmission, adds all the luxury and convenience goodies, including SofTex-trimmed four-way adjustable front sport seats with heat, metallic tone instrument panel trim, leather-trimmed steering wheel with audio controls, 18-inch polished alloy wheels with P265/60R18 tires, chrome grille surround, chrome rear bumper, variable speed windshield wipers, dual sun visors with mirrors and extenders, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror with outside temperature gauge and HomeLink universal transceiver; a rearview camera linked to the audio display, all the content of Convenience Package; the JBL stereo; and more.
An optional tow package ($650) for V6 models comprises a 130-amp alternator, heavy-duty battery, transmission oil cooler, and a Class IV hitch with seven-pin connector.
Safety features that come on all models include anti-lock brakes (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control with Traction Control, and the Automatic Limited-slip Differential. 4WD models with automatic transmission and the TRD Off-Road Package add Hill Start Assist Control and Downhill Assist Control. In addition, front airbags, front seat side-impact airbags, and side-curtain airbags are standard on all models.
Standard on all models is Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC). An Automatic Limited-Slip Differential (Auto-LSD), which uses brake intervention in place of a mechanical-type limited-slip to help reduce wheel-spin, is standard on all Tacoma models with the exception of those fitted with TRD Off-Road package; those have conventional, mechanical-locking differential.
The Tacoma TRD Pro with its big black grille replaces the limited-edition Tacoma Baja, while using its beefed-up chassis and body, with black alloy bead-lock wheels and BF Goodrich LT265/70R16 All-Terrain KO tires. The ride height is raised 1.75 inches in front, using TRD springs with decreased rate for better control over rough terrain. The front suspension adds 0.75 inches of wheel travel, using Bilstein high-performance shocks with 18mm shaft (stock is 12mm), 60 mm pistons (stock is 32mm) and remote reservoirs to increase oil capacity and run cooler. The rear shocks are 46mm-piston Bilsteins (stock 30) also with reservoirs, with TRD springs that add 1.5 inches to wheel travel.
The TRD Pro comes in black, white, or its own color, a burnt orange called Inferno. A TRD cat-back exhaust makes the 4.0-liter V6 growl, and adds 5 to 8 wheel horsepower.
The SR Package is more sporty than rugged. It comes monochrome, with bumpers, grille surround, fender flares, door handles and mirrors all one color, with smoked headlight lenses and black Baja wheels.
The Tacoma is clearly a Toyota truck, looking tough without going over the top like American trucks we might mention. A thick arch over the grille and a big air opening under it, makes the truck look like a menacing fish. Fog lights flare out from the fish mouth.
Length changes everything, when it comes to looking menacing. Access Cab and Double Cab short-bed models are 208.1 inches long on a 127.4-inch wheelbase, while Double Cab long-bed models are 221.3 inches overall on a 140.6-inch wheelbase. All models have 6-foot beds except the Double Cab short-bed with its 5-foot bed.
Access Cabs feature large dual rear auxiliary doors, not good for people but very good for gear. Double Cabs have long, conventionally hinged rear doors that open 80 degrees for ease of entry or loading gear. Double Cabs offer the people-carrying comfort of a sport-utility. Long-bed Double Cabs can carry more stuff but are unwieldy in tight places.
Tacoma comes with a composite inner bed, as durable as steel; it offers two-tier loading and four tie-down cleats on rails, that accept cross bars, a fork-mount bike rack, and other Genuine Toyota Accessories.
The Toyota Tacoma cabin is comfortable in a familiar kind of way. There's no guessing where things are, it all makes sense, no distraction from switchgear or controls trying to be clever or cute. The instrument panel and display is simple and clean, including the icons. The information display between the speedo and tach is tidy. The leather-wrapped steering wheel has car-like styling but feels great to grip, although when you turn the wheel sharply, your right elbow might hit the big padded center armrest, where the cupholders live.
The climate and audio controls are in a blacked-out panel (for contrast) in a slightly bulging center stack. Big rotary knobs make it easy to adjust cabin temperature even with gloves on. The radio in the upper center stack is easy to operate. CDs sound good through the JBL speakers. We were totally thrilled with the air conditioning, which blasts real cold real fast.
Models with automatic transmissions come with a foot-operated parking brake, while the manual transmission models use a pull-out handbrake, a blast from the past we could do without.
There's black trim on the switch bezels and door panels, with carbon touches on the dash in the TRD Pro, which also has its own TRD-badged shift knob and floor mats.
We loved the fit of the seats in the TRD Pro, the same seats in the Sport Package, except the Pro's are water resistant. Sturdy fabric with excellent bolstering and driver lumbar support. An overhead console includes a compass and outside temperature gauge.
The driver's seat is height-adjustable, delivering an excellent seating position for women; there's a good view of the Tacoma's nose and corners. Big mirrors offer a good view to the rear. Excellent grab handles on both A-pillars make it easy to climb in and out.
On models without sport seats, the front passenger seatback flips down to form a tray table.
The rear seats in the Double Cab are particularly comfortable for the class, offering good leg and shoulder room and decent headroom. The seatback is angled back slightly for comfort. A younger person should be okay to ride across the state in the back seat of a Tacoma Double Cab, and even adults won't complain too much on short trips. The rear windows go all the way down.
Flip the 60/40 seat bottoms forward and fold the backs down to form a flat cargo bay inside. It takes two hands and you have to first remove the headrests, but at least the space is there. The hard backs of the seats make a sturdy cargo floor, good place for a dog, as long as he can jump to get there.
The Access Cab has kid-sized rear seats, with the access coming only on the passenger side. Our kids are 5′ 0 and 5′ 5 and they were okay for a short ride but said they would rather have ridden in the bed with the dog.
The Standard audio system is AM/FM with single-disc CD and Bluetooth, using a 6.1-inch touch-screen display the view from the optional backup camera is now also displayed, rather than in the rear-view mirror as before.. Toyota's Entune is standard. . Entune is a media-savvy technology that links with your smart phone and allows you to access its apps through the Tacoma's audio controls. Entune's features are operated using the vehicle's controls or, for some services, by voice recognition. Entune requires no subscription.
Access Cabs and Double Cabs can upgrade to Entune Audio Plus ($680), which adds HD Radio with iTunes tagging, SiriusXM, and HD Traffic and Weather (90 day trial subscription); or to Entune Premium Audio ($730), with navigation plus the Entune App Suite, which includes Bing, iHeartRadio, MovieTickets.com, OpenTable, Pandora, Yelp and Facebook Places; plus real-time traffic, weather, fuel prices, sports and stocks.
V6-powered Double Cabs can opt for the Entune Premium setup plus a JBL GreenEdge audio system with seven speakers ($2,330). GreenEdge technology helps reduce fuel consumption by lowering the electric power demand on the vehicle.
We got a lot of seat time in the 2014 Tacoma, and a few miles on Oregon forest service roads in the 2015 TRD Pro. In the Tillamook Forest (where they make the cheese), we faced a natural obstacle course with deep moguls and rock steps, which our truck aced. Shifting into 4WD and 4WD low range is as easy as twisting a knob.
Sadly, we didn't get to go bounding across the boonies in Baja. Our suspension remained unchallenged. However, testing a 2014 Tacoma with the TRD suspension, we were lucky enough to bound up a ski run at Alyeska Resort in Alaska, and our truck had no trouble meeting that challenge.
Surprisingly, given that the springs are softer in the TRD Pro, we found it to be way stiff in what could be called around-town driving. It must be from those fat Bilsteins that make the truck Baja-worthy, while helping its handling on the road.
We managed to find a couple of 50-mph sweepers on bumpy pavement, and the cornering was confident even with the tall all-terrain tires. The 16-inch rims are made with high-pressure alloy, light and strong. An aggressive +10 mm wheel offset gives the truck a wider track (and look) without changing fender flares. Toyota chose to go with the TRD 16-inch wheels for their light weight of 23.5 pounds, while allowing room for the tires with tall sidewalls.
But Tacoma doesn't need the TRD suspension to handle well. Any Tacoma drives well, cruises nicely, and feels fairly refined. The smooth V6 delivers responsive performance. The 4.0-liter engine uses dual overhead camshafts and variable valve timing (VVT-i, or Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) to optimize power and torque over a broad range of rpm. It is rated at 236 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque.
It's easy to peel out and lay down a chirp when upshifting to second gear, while the strong torque makes it easy to cruise in 5th or 6th gear without needing to downshift to accelerate.
The V6 works well with the 5-speed automatic transmission. That's our first choice for powertrain. The automatic is smooth and responsive, quickly downshifting when you mash the throttle.
The 6-speed manual transmission is easy to shift, but first gear is a very low ratio, leaving a broad stretch to second. The 6-speed gearbox requires long throws but takes downshifts well. It's a good, solid truck transmission, without a lot of room for error; you have to press the clutch pedal all the way to the floor when shifting gears or you'll hear a crunch.
For fuel mileage, the V6 with automatic is EPA rated at 17/21 mpg City/Highway mpg, while the V6 manual gets 16/21 with 2WD and 15/19 with 4WD.
The four-cylinder engine is no throwback, it's a double-overhead cam 2.7-liter with VVT-i. It makes 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, and is EPA-rated at 21/25 mpg with 2WD and the 5-speed manual, and 19/24 mpg for 2WD with the 4-speed automatic.
Tacoma is large for its size, a so-called compact truck. The long-bed Double Cab needs 44 feet to make a circle, while the short-bed Double Cab needs a bit more than 40. Parking can be a challenge.
Brakes are smooth, easy to modulate, and halt the truck without drama. The rear brakes are drums.
The Toyota Tacoma is basically a fault-free pickup. It has a comfortable cab with quality materials, clean instrument panel and simple controls. Powertrain reliability and offroad capability is proven. Even the 4WD models offer reasonably taut handling and a balanced ride. The new TRD Pro model is ready for anything, including floods and blizzards.

As you know, pricing cars is particularly complicated. One of our duties at CarQuotes.com is to help our customers comprehend this process better.
CarQuotes.com Estimated Target Price is for research purposes only. It reflects a typical, negotiated price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, license and registration, and where applicable, finance charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. The Estimated Target Price is NOT a price quote from CarQuotes.com or any other dealer. If you request a price quote from a dealer via CarQuotes.com displaying an estimated target price, your price may differ.
Invoice is commonly known as the published amount that the dealer paid the manufacturer for the vehicle. This may or may not represent a close relation to the dealer's actual cost, but can be beneficial as a benchmark. This figure is available on many other web sites however CarQuotes.com adds an estimate of local and regional fees from manufacturer to the dealers to this price, which makes it very close to the actual invoice amount for cars at your local dealer.
MSRP is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is a proposed price only. For most vehicles, the CarQuotes.com price is below this amount. Some high demand cars may be priced over this amount.
The CarQuotes.com Target Price is to be used as a general guide that reflects a typical, market price (before taxes and other customary fees and charges) generally found for the vehicle that you selected. This price is based on our research and estimates of supply and demand in the marketplace. There are many factors that go into the final price of a particular vehicle including local supply and demand. Your final price may differ.
The 'base' price of the vehicle
All options that you select
Base Destination Charges — this is a charge that is added to the base price for every vehicle
Any related Estimated Manufacture to Consumer Cash Rebates. Note: rebates are subject to change at any time. Please make sure to confirm any consumer Cash rebates with your dealer representative at the time of purchase.
Local taxes, license fees and other local fees, such as dealer documentation fees, tire and battery disposal fees, and where applicable, finance charges — these fees are also excluded from Dealer Invoice and MSRP and would be excluded from most advertisements you might see.
Random 'special qualification' rebates — i.e., for new college grads only; for customers trading in a specific type of car. Ask your dealer Representative for more information on 'special qualification' rebates.
The Estimated CarQuotes Dealer Price is an estimate of the pricing presented to CarQuotes members from CarQuotes Authorized Dealers in your area, and is calculated by subtracting an estimated savings value from the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price ("MSRP") as well as a value that relates to invoice for the "ideal vehicle" you configured. Dealer documentation, administrative or similar processing fees are not included in the price estimate. Any vehicle configured on the CarQuotes website is an "ideal vehicle" and may not exist at a CarQuotes Authorized Dealer or any other partner dealer. Each Dealer attempts to match a member's vehicle preferences with the best possible selection from current, in-stock inventory.
The Estimated Savings represents the estimated amount of savings off of MSRP available to you from CarQuotes Dealers for a vehicle consistent with your configured preferences plus any customer incentives currently available. This is also true when it comes to CarQuotes estimated target prices. Your actual savings will depend on several factors including market conditions, the style of vehicle you select, installed options, dealer coverage, and applicable manufacturer incentives. Each dealer sets its own pricing.
In most cases, you must choose between these programs OR a customer rebate or a special manufacturer-to-dealer incentive that may or may not already be included in your CarQuotes.com Target Price. So, your final price may go up if you take advantage of special manufacturer financing. Credit Union members should contact their Credit Union loan department to determine what type of loan and financing options are right for you.
Please note that CarQuotes.com strives to include identified manufacturer incentives within the CarQuotes.com Target Price. CarQuotes.com does not administer these programs, which are subject to and often change without notice. Eligibility for these programs is subject to verification by a licensed auto dealer.
Ask your dealer representative for complete manufacturer program details for your area, and how participation in these programs will affect your price.
The base vehicle is the vehicle before any optional equipment or destination fees have been added. All of the standard features are included in the base vehicle.
This is the total charge for all optional equipment included in the configuration of your virtual vehicle. The Options charge varies depending on whether it is calculated based on the Factory Invoice or MSRP. Options are not included in the base vehicle price and are not considered standard features.
A Regional Fee is the fee a manufacturer charges a dealer to advertise and promote the vehicle in the dealer's market. CarQuotes also includes estimated manufacturer preparation charges (manufacturer charges to the dealer to cover any work done on the car prior to delivering it to the dealership) and fuel charges (the charge for the fuel in the tank when the buyer purchases the vehicle) in this total. CarQuotes attempts to include regional ad fees in its Factory Invoice calculations; other sites at times do not.
These are the amounts that manufacturers charge to deliver a vehicle from the factory to the dealership.
Customer incentives are also commonly known as customer cash or bonus incentives. These incentives are offered by manufacturers as a way of enticing buyers into purchasing a vehicle.
Dealer Invoice price may or may not bear close relation to a dealer's actual cost for the vehicle. In some cases, a cost for a vehicle may be significantly less than the invoice price originally paid for the vehicle. Any difference between invoice price and the dealer's final cost may be caused by many factors including factory refunds, rebates, allowances, or incentives which the manufacturer or distributor may provide to the dealer.

Just wanted to say I really like this course. Even though it is short the clever placement of trees in every line you can take makes it not very easy.
It is also one of two courses my 7yo daughter will play start to finish. She threw a 91 from the reds, but her back 9 was freaking incredible. 8 4s and 1 6.
I also had a blast playing with a zephyr.
We saw a lot of women out playing too which was very nice. It was cool seeing my wife out drive most of the guys playing too.
I think it is worth the 45 minute drive to play.

Do you find yourself nodding off after lunch? Do you have a hard time keeping your eyes open? Have you ever drifted off behind the wheel and awakened to find yourself drifting off the road? Does your bed partner wake you up at night to complain that your snoring is keeping him/her awake? (Or perhaps you're the patient partner who is putting up with your loved one's sound effects!)
"These can all be symptoms of a sleep disorder. But don't give up hope for a sound night's sleep," says Raymond Haddad, MD, director of the new Center for Sleep Medicine at Bridgeport Hospital. "Many sleep problems can be diagnosed and treated right here at the Center for Sleep Medicine."
Some problems can be detected with simple tests and by answering questions about your medical history. Other problems may require a polysomnogram. This test, lasting several hours, records your sleep pattern, breathing, oxygen level, heart rate and rhythm, and muscle tone while you spend the night at the Center for Sleep Medicine, in a private hotel-like room with a comfortable bed.
If the tests show that you do have a sleep disorder, there are several treatment options, depending on the cause of the problem. Treatments include behavioral approaches, such as learning new sleep habits, medications, special breathing devices, and in some cases, surgery.
Could you benefit from treatment through the Center for Sleep Medicine?

For this cake you will need:
One cake mix
Two nine inch round pans
Something for between the layers
A bunch of frosting ( I made 2.5 batches)
Tips for frosting the Rick cake (some simple round tips will do)
A Hat box large enough to fit over your cake ( I got a plain brown one from a craft store)
Whipped Cream
A single candle
Step 1: Make the real cake
*i am so determined to marry a geek because I'm a geek* :-D xxx
They make display "buttercream" cakes in bakeries by frosting foam with royal icing and it lasts for years so I plan on keeping it for a while. I've been meaning to drill into the top and make a candle "handle" out of a dowel so I can use it as a cake saver.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science:
We do what we must because we can.
For the good of all of us
Except the ones who are dead.
(Chorus 1)
But there's no sense crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun
For the people who are still alive.
I'm not even angry.
I'm being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because
I was so happy for you.
(Chorus 2)
Now these points of data make a beautiful line
And we're out of beta we're releasing on time.
So I'm GLaD I got burned think of all the things we learned
For the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa -
Anyway, this cake is great:
It's so delicious and moist.
(Chorus 3)
Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
On the people who are still alive
And believe me I am still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
Still alive
Still alive

A Panoramic View at Fenway Park, Boston, Mass.
- The Rob Arra Collection
Welcome back to baseball paradise! After just a three-year
absence, the Fall Classic returned to Fenway Park, and with a young, cold,
inexperienced Colorado Rockies squad as the National League opposition,
the mood was jubilant - another championship was just days away, and everyone

on their way to the dominating four-game sweep in the 2007 World Series.
Shot from midway up the first base grandstand, you get a perfect view of
Fenway, glowing resplendent under the lights and the dark fall sky. From
the Citgo sign lighting the night behind the Green Monster and the Monster
seats, to the giant American flag covering the entire Green Monster, to
the fans in the stands, and the players on the field, it's all here, preserved
for your wall, to commemorate the event for a lifetime! And, as a bonus,
this special limited-edition version features authentic facsimilie autographs
of all 25 players from the World Series roster right on the print! A must-have

Fenninger wins in Ofterschwang
Anna Fenninger held on to win her third World Cup race of the season as the early morning rain disappeared and the weather cleared up. HEAD World Cup Rebel Fenninger, who has also won in Semmering and Garmisch this winter took the lead on the first run and held to keep Tina Maze in second and Viktoria Rebensburg in third.
"I was quite surprised to see how fast I managed to ski in the second run, starting last", she said. "The conditions weren't as good as they were obviously in the first run. I've been feeling really good in the last weeks. I skied with instinct and without too much thinking and it's working again today. I'm extremely happy about it," explained Fenninger after the race.
The courses could not have been different with the first being fast and open and using the terrain changes had a few jumps in it while the second course, held after the weather changed again, it became very gloomy, was far more technical. Fenninger is good in both conditions and this was clearly demonstrated.
Anne Sophie Barthet put in a great performance to take sixth overall. This was a career best result for her but sadly she just failed to make the top twenty five in the season long standings that qualify for the World Cup Finals next week.
Julia Mancuso celebrated her 29th birthday with a great first run that saw her in fourth position. After charging out of the start on the second run, a few errors cost her time and she wound up in eighth place. "It was a really good start, a step in the right direction for GS for me," said Mancuso, who has been playing with her ski all season. "I still need to make two good runs, but I'm happy. They did a good job of keeping the course OK. It was actually one of the better surfaces we had this year. Second run was a lot turnier, so it deteriorated more. It was difficult starting in the back."

Eligible students will continue to receive their federal Title IV aid until the student has earned the total number of credits normally required for the bachelor's degree, 126 credits. PHEAA grants are reviewed each term once the student is accepted into the integrated program. The grant amount will be determined based on the undergraduate courses a student is registered for. If the student carries at least 12 undergraduate credits, full PHEAA grants will be awarded. Part time PHEAA grants may be awarded in the fourth year if the student carries at least six undergraduate credits. For the PHEAA grant policy on enrollment status, visit www.rmu.edu/finaid.
Graduate and undergraduate loans differ in the amount of money that a student is able to borrow. Integrated program students are eligible to borrow at the graduate level once they have earned 126 credits. Students can apply for graduate level loans using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Repayment obligation for undergraduate loans will be deferred until after the graduate degree is complete.
Institutional Aid
Students are eligible to receive institutional aid for a total of 10 semesters once accepted into the integrated program. Students must maintain full-time status, which is a minimum of 12 credits each fall and spring semester, in order to continue to receive institutional aid. The 12 credits may be a combination of graduate and undergraduate course work.
Athletic scholarships are determined annually by individual coaches following NCAA regulations.
Once a student returns their enrollment agreement and they are placed on their integrated checksheet, they will be placed on the blended rate of tuition at the University effective for the very next term in which they register for classes. This tuition rate is a hybrid rate of undergraduate and graduate tuition.
Students taking 12-18 credits will be placed on the blended flat rate of tuition. Students taking less than 12 credits will pay a blended per credit rate and students taking more than 18 credits will pay the blended flat rate plus an additional charge per credit for anything over 18 credits.
If a student withdraws from the integrated program and returns to their original undergraduate program attending full time, they will be placed on the University's regular flat rate of tuition.
Students should visit the RMU website at www.rmu.edu for current tuition charges.

Gothenburg is an attractive green city, with a large number of sights, restaurants and cafés. The best time to visit is during spring.
Gothenburg, which is Sweden's most European city, was founded in 1621 by European immigrants. Just like Venice, Bruges and St Petersburg, Gothenburg was built on a network of canals. The large number of canals have been left over from the time of Dutch rule. Water is important for the city, since Gothenburg's harbour is the biggest in Sweden.
The view is magnificent from Alsvborgsbron Bridge, which links the city centre with Hisingen, one of Sweden's biggest islands. Liseberg amusement park is worth a visit, especially with children. Other sights include the Gothia Towers and the statue of Karl IV Gustav, the founder of Gothenburg.
During summertime the locals love to go for a swim in one of the many surrounding lakes. One of the most popular spots is Härlanda Tjärn, a shallow lake surrounded by a forest.

Massive Sink Holes Found in Rockaway
Background: I am a construction management expert witness on projects up to $100M and have held the title of and/or worked in the capacity of engineer for over 8 years as well. I went to the 1999 Turkey and the 2010 Haiti earthquakes by myself to help out and had great success. About 6 months ago, I joined the Team Rubicon volunteer group. I flew in to NY from Phoenix on the 8th to join the team at Rockaway.
On 11/11/12 working with Team Rubicon (TR) I found water seeping through the basement wall of a house near Beach 68th St & Bayfield in Rockaway, NY. I then went outside and found an in-line series of obvious sink holes in his back yard. Alarmed, I continued looking into the issue going door to door in that same line in search of identifying the source and/or scale of the danger. I found another sink hole, then another, etc. all of which were in a nearly perfect straight line. I then tracked these holes to the intersection of Beach 67th St & Almeda, 750 feet away. Looking at the pavement I could see that the street's asphalt was nice and smooth and rather new going up the hill to the west but was very badly deformed throughout the intersection (not buckled, but sunken in spots). I spoke to a neighbor child who told me that the intersection that he rode his bike on every day was NOT like that prior to Sandy. It appears to me that the asphalt on this entire intersection may very possibly be deformed due to soil erosion beneath and could lead to vehicles crashing into a sink hole.
As I was finding more and more evidence and sending photos and my findings in to Headquarters (HQ), I was pulled off of this task that I had gotten myself emotionally involved in by my team as they wanted me to continue the original mission.
I told everyone in TR that I could get my hands on from noon on 11/11 to noon on 11/12 that this could be a huge clear and present danger to the people of this neighborhood (especially the kids playing in their back yards) and to vehicles driving through that intersection and nearly begging my team to put a crew or at the least ME on the issue to get the city working on it and to warn the neighbors of the immediate dangers. I explained that I believed that a city water main might be causing the erosion which seemed to be the most logical cause due to the perfectly in-line nature of the sink holes.
Around 1:00 on 11/12 I arrived back on site after being sent out by my team on a solo mission. I traced the sink holes back to the bay to the north and then took photos and documented each hole location, etc. I interviewed more neighbors, told them what I had found and to keep their kids from playing in the back yards. As I was searching for the end of the sink holes towards the south, I spotted a city water crew working in a pit just before the Beach 67th St and Thursby intersection on the east side of the street. I asked a worker what the problem was and he told me that they were fixing a city water main break! I told him about the sink holes that were perfectly in line with their line break. He told me not to worry and that it couldn't possibly be related. I asked him "so if you draw a straight line from your water main break to the bay and see that it passes directly under the 10+ sink holes and the house with the water pouring into his basement (and I later found, water squirting from the ground near a fire hydrant and also under 3 homes that reported spraying sewage from their toilets and drains which sounds like a liquefaction scenario to me), that it is not possibly related?" He said no and walked away…
I flagged down a car full of NYPD who thankfully were willing to look at the issue that I was passionately describing. I walked the 6 or 7 officers through the entire series of sink holes, showed them the water leaching into that basement and explained how the only reasonable conclusion as to the probable cause of this was a city water main break. Walking this with the officers, they found an additional hole and this one was the biggest and scariest yet! It had about a 3' diameter opening, a 3' cave ceiling inside, then about 18" air pocket (cave) and then a 2' deep pool of water and this huge sink hole is very close to the foundation of a home with children! Officer Patrick Wang put on rubber gloves and dipped his finger into the water coming into the basement and explained that he believed it to be fresh water and how that further points toward a water main break and an escalating danger even to the homes on this block collapsing into these holes!
They called city engineers and requested an immediate investigation. They told one neighbor that asked what was going on that this appears to be a water main break and resulting sink holes and not to let her kids play in the back yards. Feeling like a CSI investigator working with the NYPD (a childhood fantasy), I asked the officers for a photo. The 8 year old boy that lives in the home with one of the 10' deep sink holes, Alfonso, took a photo with me and 5 officers. It seemed like a complete success and that I could now relax.
Then without notifying each resident on the block or closing the Almeda intersection, they left at around 4:30pm. Frustrated, I went door to door for the next few hours notifying residents and looking for further evidence as to the origin of the problems.
I stayed there into the night (an absolute TR no, no due to safety concerns) expecting someone to come to at least put up caution tape around each opening (even though the sink holes could be much larger under the surface and at least one I found was a hole not visible as it had the grass and roots covering the hole much like a bear trap) but no one came. I stayed in the neighborhood until 1:30am the next day and then started walking to get myself back to the TR Brooklyn base.
On 11/14 my TR friend Jose was able to convince the TR leadership to let the 2 of us go out to put up caution tape as well as for him to take good photos of each hole. At Jose's suggestion, we found a 10'6" long pole and probed each hole to somewhat accurately measure and illustrate in photos the depth / extent of each hole. To our amazement, some holes were just over 10' deep!
Frustrated that NO ONE but me and now Jose are doing Anything about the danger, another TR member, Louis suggested that he might have contacts that could get this story in front of the mayor and that if I call 311 and establish a service request claim, they could run with it. I called. The claim number is C1-1-801591567 submitted at 3:38pm on 11/14 to the DOT.
Please help me to get this story out BEFORE someone gets hurt or dies! Ironically the photo that Alfonso took illustrates how no one seems to care that this 4'6" boy clearly fits into the 10' deep holes!
Update: 11/19, 9am - I just got off the phone with a couple of the residents on this block and they tell me that NO ONE has been there yet and that the water is still flowing (theoretically worsening the subsurface erosion issue which caused the 12 visible sinkholes).
Thank you!

Perhaps the Mayans were correct ? Frankenstorms, holes explosions on the sun. Perhaps the end is near.
This engineer is correct however the city doesn't care about Rockaway (Its Queens)
Nothings going to happen until somebody gets killed or those people bond together and surround the mayors condo or city hall with megaphones & pitchforks.
Forget the mainstream News. No major news-media in NYC dare run this story, embarrass the mayor and risk getting their press credentials, tripod permits and access pulled.
The mayors office and press secretary control all of that stuff !

I know from calling in sink holes on the street in the past to the city that under normal conditions they take sometimes a month plus to take care of the issue and fix the problem. Given the current conditions in the rockaways it will take months for them to get around to it. There isn't enough employees to deal with problems on a normal day let alone a disaster like this.

Figures the Daily News tossed every single word of the engineers horror story of damaging detailed negligence and technical FACTS.
What the Daily News went with on follow up is a standard public relations "phone call crock" issued by the same goons that are part of the problem.

Will everyone please stop complaining about the hurricane? Geez people, it was like, you know, a month ago already. Downtown is open, the tunnels are open and there is gas now. The politicians had their photo ops and have moved on. Bloomberg is satisfied. God, when will you people stop complaining about a little bitty wind and rain. Sheesh.

To not misrepresent myself, I'm not a licensed (or even degreed) engineer. I have however held the title of aerospace mfg eng for 3 yrs, worked in the capacity of civil eng for 8 yrs and given expert witness testimony against opposing counsel's civil eng experts as well. It's more accurate to call me a const. mgmt consultant. :D

ROUND 11 - Belgium 23-25 August 2013
Venue: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Circuit Length: 7.004 kilometres
Laps: 44
Lap Record: 1:45.108 = 238.931 km/h • Kimi Raïkkönen (McLaren Mercedes) • 2004
Odd note:
The great Ayrton Senna was on pole position four times at Spa-Francorchamps. He won the Belgian race five times, including a fabulous four-race streak from 1988-91. But despite setting 19 fastest race laps in his career, not one of them came at Spa. And yet… his nephew Bruno Senna achieved just one fastest race lap in his own short F1 career – at Spa last year.
The Track:
Spa-Francorchamps is set in the rolling countryside of the Ardennes. No other Grand Prix circuit marries its local geography as effectively as Spa, originally a 14.08-km challenge first mastered by the great Juan Manuel Fangio in an Alfa Romeo in the inaugural World Championship in 1950. The best feature is that the track dips away from the start/finish straight, climbs up to the chicane at Les Combes, then swoops back down through the woods. High-speed sections come from Turns 1 to 5, the longest full-throttle period of the year (remember Mark Webber's breathtaking pass on Fernando Alonso two years ago?), and again in the long left-handers preceding the chicane that leads on to the home straight. All teams will adopt a 'low-drag' aero package for the Belgian weekend.
Can they catch him?
That's Sebastian Vettel, of course: Spa heralds the nine-race run-in to the 2013 world title, and at this stage Red Bull's German star holds a 38-point advantage over Kimi Raïkkönen. History suggests that the Finn is unlikely to bridge that gap, but try telling that to the Lotus driver – or Fernando Alonso, just a further point behind, or Lewis Hamilton, nine points further back from the Ferrari man.
Of course the crucial thing about history is how you look at it. Ferrari's Stefano Domenicali refuses to see anything but grounds for optimism in his own team's past: "We are Ferrari and history teaches us that we must never accept we are beaten," says the popular Italian. "Nine races means that a total of 225 driver points are available and rest assured that the goals we set ourselves at the start of the season are still perfectly attainable. It's true we've gone through a difficult period, especially in July and now is the time to react in the way that Ferrari people know well." Like any good leader, he puts the challenge succinctly: "Our task is very simple: namely to give Fernando and Felipe the quickest car possible." Mercedes man Hamilton comes to Spa as the in-form contender, having won the last race before the break – his first success at the wheel of a Silver Arrow. "It feels like I have been out of the car for a very long time since the win in Hungary and I can't wait to get going again," says Hamilton, who won superbly at Spa three seasons ago for McLaren.
Raïkkönen, of course, is his usual pragmatic self: happy to be back in second spot but aware that finishing second won't be enough to catch Vettel. Still, he waxes unusually lyrical when it comes to the circuit itself: "For me there have only been good memories from Spa and it's great to go racing there. You can't get the same kind of a feeling anywhere else. It's great to race with a modern racing car at a proper circuit which has such a great tradition. I bet every driver likes Spa. For me it is the greatest racing circuit in the world. It is my favourite place. I have liked the place since my first ever visit there in 2000 with Formula Renault."
Last year's winner was Jenson Button for McLaren, a team which has enjoyed enormous success at Spa. "The thing about Spa is that it just feels awesome to nail a quick lap around there – you need a car that's perfectly synced to the driver, because it's such a long lap, and there are so many big corners, that you need to find that perfect balance," says the Englishman. "And getting the set-up right – and running flat-out for nearly two minutes – feels incredible." McLaren in 2013 are, of course, a pale shadow of the team that has won no fewer than 14 times at Spa, but Button is still looking forward to his weekend: "We don't go to Spa with the package to win, but I'll still be making the most of every single lap around this place – it'll still feel incredible."
Both Button and Vettel one-stopped on their way to last year's podium, and Pirelli again bring a choice of their Medium and Hard compounds. Will the tyre controversy that has dogged the 2013 season be a thing of the past? "Spa is not only an epic circuit, but also one of the biggest challenges for our tyres all year," says Pirelli's Paul Hembery. "Mostly this is because of the very high-energy loads that go all the way through the tyres, both vertically – due to the big compressions such as Eau Rouge – and also laterally at fast corners like Blanchimont. Often, the tyres are subjected to forces acting in different directions at the same time, which increases the work still further. So looking after the tyres is very important, particularly as it's such a long lap. This means that there are a very wide variety of possible strategies available at Spa as well, with plenty of time to be won and lost if the right tactics are chosen."
For our two Australians, Spa could well be a significant milestone. For Red Bull's Mark Webber it's the last chance to win at a circuit he loves. With his deep respect for Grand Prix tradition, Webber would love to score his 10th Grand Prix victory either here or at Monza, which he is not alone in seeing as 'real' circuits. Mark's been second twice at Spa, in 2010 and 2011. For Dan Ricciardo Spa is expected to bring confirmation that he will switch from Toro Rosso to Red Bull to replace his great compatriot in 2014.

WAC's flagship journal is Archaeologies, published by Springer. For more information, visit the Archaeologies website.
WAC also supports the publication of:
South America is an active region in the production of archaeological knowledge and in the formulation of alternative approaches to the past, both from a disciplinary and a contextual point of view. Yet, there was no written medium to disseminate the cultural production of the sub-continent related to the discourses on the past based on objects. That is the reason behind the collective work of South American archaeologists for the creation of a new journal, Arqueología Suramericana/Arqueologia Sul-Americana, published by the Department of Anthropology, Universidad del Cauca (Colombia) and the Ph.D. Program on Social Sciences of the School of Humanities of the Universidad Nacional de Catamarca (Argentina), with the support of the World Archaeological Congress. According to WAC purposes, the journal aims to promote and spread the production of archaeology and related disciplines in South America, emphasizing a critical perspective that allows a dialogue with representations about the past that have been traditionally marginalized from academic spaces. The journal hopes to create bridges of understanding, communication, and discussion between the two large South American worlds, Brazil and the Spanish-speaking countries, which have consistently ignored each other for so long. It is sad that the barrier of two similar languages have split the sub-continent in such a way, especially because South American countries share similar problems and possibilities that can be tackled with collective enterprises, such as this one, that strive go beyond the borders erected by the deliberate ignorance of the others.
Journal of Environment and Culture is being promoted as the leading voice on environmental issues in Africa, as the foremost forum of intense, engaging, and challenging debates on how culture and environment can be mutually complementary, and as such the acclaimed site of critical intervention on practices of, and discourses on, global cultural processes. The primary function of the journal is therefore to open a channel for debate on the interactive nature of culture and environment and how humanity fair within the dynamics of the intellectual, economic and political exchange in which such interaction are framed locally and globally.
