Take the Pledge to Help Save the Sea Lions Being Killed at Bonneville Dam
NOTE: If you are signing the petition on behalf of a minor, please, make note of it in the petition letter before you hit the "Sign" button.
Overfishing at the Bonneville Dam has rendered the Chanook salmon endangered. Instead of calling a halt to the excessive fishing, they have decided to eliminate the competition (California sea lions) despite the fact that the sea lions only consume 1% of the fish.
Take the pledge to never eat salmon again.

Bump back to the top
Are these for 5 series or 3 series?
I believe 3 series but havent measured the hub I will measure them tomorrow. If they are 5 series then obviously you will need hubcentric rings which are cheap.

Bump Found out these wheels are 74.1mm hub. So setup for E39's but will obviously fit all years and series with hubcentric rings.
bump back up
back up $550 plus shipping
Bumpppppppp bumpppp
Would you drive them across border to Windsor and we could meet there? An American bringing wheels across border is not an issue. You own them. We could meet in Windsor.

ARM Announces New Mali-450 GPU
ARM-based GPUs released its architecture Ulgard in 2009 with the launch of the family of Mali-200 GPU, later to launch GPUs Mali-300 and Mali-400 MP, the new architecture Midgard released this year with Mali GPU- 600 ( T-604 Mali and Mali T-658 ) promises to replace Ulgard a yield up to 10 times that of Mali gpu T-400, and is expected to make its appearance in 2014 the future architecture Skrymir and perhaps in 2016 or 2017 to see the architecture Tyr.
Although we assumed that all new GPUs released by arm architecture would be based on Midgard, ARM surprise by announcing its new GPU Mali-450 (T-450 Series Mali), the now most powerful member of the "old" (2009 ) Ulgard architecture, which promises to double the performance of the GPU Mali T-400, because that will be available in configurations with between 5 to 8 cores (Mali T-400 has between 1 to 4 cores).
Being based on Ulgard architecture, the new ARM Mali-450 GPU does not support OpenCL GPU-accelerated computing feature that if present in the architecture-based GPUs and above Midgard (Skrymir and Tyr), before it responds to ARM Mali -450 is aimed at entry-level products (economic), which do not require this feature, but if other graphics API such as OpenGL ES and OpenVG.
It is hoped that Mali-450 is available during the second half of this year together with Midgard GPUs (Mali-600).

Rigid Foam Board
I plan on putting rigid foam on basement walls. Live in NJ. Any difference between Owens Corn Foamular vs Dow Styrofoam? Plan on using 2inch. Only difference I see is price and color and brand. Anything I am missing? Thanks
Are they both XPS? The Dow I've seen at HD is EPS and has a lower installed R value.
I believe they are both XPS
Around here, HD carries the pink Owens Corning and Lowes carries the light green Dow XPS. If both are XPS, both should be rated the same
for your reading pleasure ..... I myself prefer the Dow, but do your homework do you know what's what
http://building.dow.com/na/en/produc.../rigidfoam.htm http://msdssearch.dow.com/PublishedL...romPage=GetDoc http://building.dow.com/na/en/produc.../rigidfoam.htm |
One absorbs 3 times water, what type of OC? One retains 96% R-value, another 98%..
Gary |
Which absorbs more? DOW? Which do you recommend Gary? Whats OC? Sorry, got a newbie here. Learning day by day
OC = Owens Corning I believe.
Trying to figure out the shorthand here on these forums can be challenging! :) PS. Don't take my guess as gospel---- it is my guess. |
Foamular OC 250. 2inch
Its either OC foamular 250 2in or Dow Styrofoam square 2in. OC for $37 per 4x8 and Dow for $50 4x8. Dont mind the price diff if im getting a better product.
For that big of a price difference, figure them equal. The water absorption test is less with OCorn. = 0.10 and Dow= 0.30... not a biggie considering water vapor will keep the board saturated most the year anyway, lol. They used to be the same company till one branched off. Be sure to use a closed grid glue pattern on the concrete, to reduce any air leaks inadvertently made when installing it. Add some 1/2" EXP under the frame wall bottom plate for a thermal/air/capillary break. Air-seal the rim joists with canned foam using extra 2". Use a latex based paint on the drywall. Pictures when done... we love pictures!
Gary |
Any tape to seal the foamboard edges to each other or tongue and groove enough? By the way, Gary, your posts are simply great.
I use Tyvek tape. About $11 a roll at HD. You definitely want to seal the seams.
I'd use canned foam or furnace duct mastic/mesh tape for total air-seal. The c. foam is more flexible, or use some quality caulking or better still; acoustical sealant (best); http://www.liquidnails.com/products/...-sealant-AS825 under the overlap that can give-some with slight movement. The foam boards shrink over time (aging); http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...a-foam-shrinks Just like a rim joist, it's the air leak that will give up the moisture in condensation; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...l_seal_rev.pdf Of coarse on a wall, the air is going from inside to wall, not both ways as in rim. ADA the drywall to stop air at the first line of defense; http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...wall-approach/
Gary PS. after that, I just HAD to use more links, lol. |

Comments about Quartet iQ Dry Erase Board:
I have had my two IQ boards for a while now and they are very very effective office tools. I use them to track in progress and ordered items. They have never gotten that old whiteboard marker residue look. They look very stylish as well. The surface is super smooth and I never have problems using them. If I could fit one more board in my space, I would get another one. I highly recommend these boards. Be smart...go for the IQ.
Comments about Quartet iQ Dry Erase Board:
I have a limited area, so needed something to fit. This was just right, and mounted very easily. Thanks for the great product.

Quantum teleportation brings to mind Star Trek's transporter, where crew members are disassembled in one location to be reassembled in another. Real quantum teleportation is a much more subtle effect where information is transferred between entangled quantum states. It's a quantum trick that could give us the ultimate in secure communication. While quantum teleportation experiments have been performed countless times in the lab, doing it in the real world has proved a bit more challenging. But a recent experiment using a dark fibre portion of the internet has brought quantum teleportation one step closer to real world applications.
The backbone of the internet is a network of optical fibre. Everything from your bank transactions to pictures of your cat travel as beams of light through this fibre network. However there is much more fibre that has been laid than is currently used. This unused portion of the network is known as dark fibre. Other than not being currently used, the dark fiber network has the same properties as the web we currently use. This new experiment used a bit of this dark web in Calgary to teleport a photon state under real world conditions.
The basic process of quantum teleportation begins with two objects (in this case photons) that are quantumly entangled. This basically means the state of these two objects are connected in such a way that a measurement of one object affects the state of the other. For quantum teleportation, one of these entangled objects is measured in combination with the object to be "teleported" (another photon). The result of this measurement is then sent to the other location, where a similar combined measurement is made. Since the entangled objects are part of both measurements, quantum information can be "teleported." This might seem like an awkward way to send information, but it makes for a great way to keep your messages secret. Using this method, Alice can basically encrypt a message using the entangled objects, send the encrypted message to Bob, who can then make his own measurement of the entangled state to decode the message.
This new experiment used a variation of this method using three observers rather than two. Using the Bob and Alice analogy, Bob and Alice each make measurements of an entangled state and a photon, about 8 kilometers from each other. Their results are then sent to Charlie, who combines the two results to achieve quantum teleportation. This method assures that the experiment extends beyond a single lab location, and it was done using existing dark fibre and wavelengths of light commonly used in current fibre internet.
Overall the experiment demonstrates that quantum teleportation can be used as a way to encrypt messages over the web. The next big challenge will be to find a way to make it practical enough for everyone to use.

"Pirates 3" After Credits Scene
Posted: June 1st, 2007 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Many of you have heard already that "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" had an extra scene after the credits, and if you missed it, here is your chance to check it out. It's probably not a good idea to watch this if you have not seen the movie and plan to do so one day.
Rumors of another trilogy have been everywhere, especially since
Johnny Depp
has agreed to return. Recently, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated that he is a bit hesitant to continue with the franchise, but will also return if there is a good story.
stated that they are planning to release another film by 2009, which would be part of a trilogy. And even if director
Gore Verbinski
may not return, another film will be made. Possibly a spin-off.

China Daily trip to Shanxi.
Popularity 19|||
The Chinese people believe in fate, or yuanfen, as they call it. It is the yuanfen that bring people together and separate them, the chances of getting a job or entering a university is also a matter of yuanfen, and it is fate when we visit certain places, according to the wise easterners. I have heard about Shanxi province before, as the names like Wutaishan, Pingyao and Datong are very famous around China and if someone is a little bit interested in the Chinese culture, also should have heard them.
I was granted a chance to visit Shanxi in the format of the China Daily program "Shanxi in the eyes of the foreigners", 与山西结缘了. The program lasted 5 days – from the 25th of May to 29th of May. Among around 500 applicants, only 16 lucky participants were selected and on the morning of the 25th we embarked on a journey to the land, well, not a very remote one, to the historical roots of China, travel back to 5000 year ago, where the history is still and well-preserved.
We hoped on a bullet train from Beijing to Taiyuan with the Beijing participants and China Daily crew members. Thanks to Gireesh, one of the participants and an Indian restaurant owner, we escaped the chance of having sandwiches for lunch and had fine Indian food instead.
Upon arrival, we met with the other foreign participant from other provinces, and went to the briefing in the staying hotel with Beijing and Shanxi China Daily authorities and local Touristic Bureau authorities where we were told about the program agenda and where we were introduced to each other. After the meeting was over, we were invited to the opening dinner to a gorgeous restaurant in Taiyuan where it was difficult distinguish between the art masterpiece and food, so skillfully the food was prepared. The noodles performance was shown at the dinner closing. Apropos Shanxi noodles are famous all over China.
For the second day we visited Jinci Temple in Taiyuan city. It was built about 400 AD in memory of Shu Yu, a legendary prince who lived during the Western Zhou Dynasty. But the biggest draw was awaiting us in the afternoon, the ancient town of Pingyao, where the history seems frozen. The Chinese policy aimed at demolishing old establishing new did not destroy the culture relics here, and it is preserved by UNSECO. The locals say Pingyao town is tortoise shaped with its six gates and a massive city wall. Tortoise is a symbol of harmony in China, probably thatΓÇÖs why the town successfully survived the reforms. Pingyao is a typical example of a Chinese town from the Ming and Qing Dynasty.The first ΓÇ£Wall streetΓÇ¥ was founded in Pingyao, we well as the first bank. So, in its heyday, Shanxi was a rather prosperous province with a very developed financial sector, like modern Shanghai. According to our guide, nowadays Pingyao still possesses its unique cultural genuineness. But still, it is a very touristic place. You can see a plethora of souvenir stalls, massage salons, cafes, even a few bars.

Our third day started with a 4-hour road trip to Changzhi, a very cultural and full of legends city. The Chinese chengyu "愚公移山" or 牛郎织女" originated in this area. Taihang Mountains are located in Huguan county of Changzhi city, and present a wonderful view themselves. I was very impressed by our hotel as it was in the mountains. It should be said that the temperature there is much lower than in the city and rains from time to time.

The next destination was Wangmang Mountains and the Cliff Road in Xiyagou. The mountains were not always named Wangmang. Their first name was Turtle Mountains due to the shape of one of its cliffs. This place was named after Wangmang who had the ambitions to become an emperor, and that place was the battlefield for him and Liu Xiu, that is how the mountains got their name. We came home very late and worked up enough appetite went for dinner. The visit of Royal Residence scheduled for that day was postponed until the next day, as everyone was tired and the weather was getting cold and the rain was drizzling.

Finally we were shown the performance of the Qing dynasty, strolled along the Royal Residence and bid farewell to that wonderful place.
Shanxi can be described in three words: cultural, historical and unique. I want to express my gratitude to the organizers, Mr. Sun Rui Sheng and all the participants with whom we spent five unforgettable days.

Comments about Stabilo CarbOthello Sharpener:
Sharpens pastel pencils very nicely to a good point
Conte pastel pencils don't fit
By Kkt
from Birmingham, Al
The opening is entirely to small for Conte pastel pencils. My quest for a pastel pencil sharpener continues. I'm bummed I wasted my money on this one. It may be a good sharpener, but it's useless for me.
My favorite sharpener
By Illustrator in Cali
from Hanford, CA
I bought several of these. I have used Prismacolor sharpeners and an electric sharpenerin the past. They eat up pencils and constantly break leads on my Prismacolor pencils. These little Stabilo sharpeners are the only ones that don't break up Prismacolor pencils.One trick: sharpen slow. You can turn the pencil or the sharpener, but you must sharpen at a slow to medium pace, if that makes sense. If you do it too quickly, you are likely to break leads of pencils, although that happens less often with the Stabilo.

Great for Pastel Pencils
By Suzie
from Southern California
I have tried so many sharpeners for my pastel pencils, electric, hand crank and hand held, and these hold up the best and at the best price.
perfect for colored pencils
By Carol in South Shore
from Chicago, IL
I like a fast touch-up of my point, and a short cone. Just right for all my colored pencils, including pastel and watercolor pencils as well as wax based. Note: the fatter pencils, such as Polychromos, do not fit.
Great Little Sharpener
By Snowbeard
from Benbrook TX
A little pricier than I expected but it works so much better than other little hand-held sharpeners. So far, none of the "leads" have broken. I was even able to sharpen other pastel pencils that other sharpeners had shattered, so I highly recommend this little hand-held pencil sharpener.
Great Pencil Sharpener
By thyme
from Florida
This is a great pencil sharpener. It is hand held but gets a sharp point and you have lots of control. I've used it on all my graphite and colored pencils, even tried it on an eyebrow pencil. First and only time my brow pencils sharpened without breaking the point or leaving too much wood on the pencil.
By Artisticallyinclined
from Fort Worth, TX
This didn't fit many of my pencils. Just okay.
This sharpner didn't work for me...bummer
By Reba
from Hoquiam, Washington
I tried to use on my colored pencils and broke the leads.....
The proper way to sharpen pastel pencils.
By 87 if you please
from Grimsby, Ontario, Canada
I should have had one of these when I tried to sharpen a pastel pencil in a regular electric sharpener and had to replace it.

Hey! If this is your first visit on symthic.com, also check out our weapon damage charts.
Currently we have charts for Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
One of the field upgrades makes you invisible to motion sensors except when sprinting. That could be in.
Proximity scan is pretty cheap, though, imo. God forbid a tank driver isn't allowed to floor it into a base and know exactly where all the enemies are.
I'm a battlefield player, good sir. I don't play metro.
PC is no longer PC master race. It's PC mustard race, because consoles need to ketchup :'D
DICE gave so much into making commander better, but lemmings be lemmings I guess.
As a good guy that don't want to use overly glitched weapons, I'll quit using the MTAR and switch to the ACWR until it's fixed
The world needs more people like you
+1, I think we're all in agreement that more MrT3as would be an awesome thing
Although if that was the case they'd use up so much of the world's awesome that there'd be none left for the rest of us!
yes, I know, I'm a big-ass hypocrite

Ukraine Accuses Russia of Full-Scale Invasion Threat
Ukraine's officials accused Russia of conducting a large military build-up near the country's border that raises the threat of an invasion.
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Andriy Parubiy warned that he has "every reason to believe" that Russian forces along Ukraine's southern and eastern borders will invade, KyivPost reports.
"Ukraine now faces the threat of a full-scale invasion," Parubiy said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Parubiy claimed that Russia had deployed more than 80,000 troops, up to 270 tanks and 140 combat planes close to the border.
He said that Ukraine would rely on military, police and a newly formed National Guard of 20,000 volunteers to protect its borders.
However, Russian deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov denied a military build-up on the Ukrainian border, Wednesday.
Russia has secured control over Ukraine's Crimean peninsula, and Parliament has given President Vladimir Putin permission to use military forces to protect Russian population in Ukraine.
Crimea is to hold a referendum on Sunday asking residents if they want the territory to become part of Russia. Ukraine's government and western nations have condemned the referendum calling it illegitimate and warned Russia against trying to annex Crimea.

To An American: it's not about Russia, it's about People of Crimea who DON'T WANT to live in "marriage" with Ukraine any more, and "there is no court of law in the world" to order estranged spouses to continue in a broken marriage..........In order to help a bit An American, I must quote Daniel Bethlehem QC, Legal Adviser to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of United Kingdom when he said : "Serbia has made it quite clear that it will never accept an independent Kosovo. Kosovo, for its part, has made it quite clear, that, given the legacy of abuse, it cannot again become part of Serbia. Courts do not order estranged spouses to continue in a broken marriage."
So, it's not about "gifts", it's about USA &Co (including pious An American)' Memory.
It was a forced marraige.
The Crimean people get to decide if they want to go home to Russia this week and bring their country with them.
Democracy in action backed up by Russian diplomacy, and overcoming the West who would have her remain in a forced marraige with a husband has become a facist thug.
When the marriage doesn't work out the Russian spouse wants to take back all the gifts. There is no court of law in the world where that is called just. Not even....anyplace!
No, not annex. Russia wants to take back what is rightfully theirs. Crimea was given to Ukraine to commemorate 300 years of unity with Russia in 1954. Since 1991 Ukraine did nothing else, but spat poison on Russia. If Ukraine has any dignity - give back the gift.

Glad things worked out ok ! I too keep 2 extingueshers on different end of my garage. Going to make it one of my priorities to attach FE on my tractor ASAP (Brian method). Thanks to all for reminder (cheap insurance).
Glad things worked out ok ! I too keep 2 extingueshers on different end of my garage. Going to make it one of my priorities to attach FE on my tractor ASAP (Brian method). Thanks to all for reminder (cheap insurance).
Anybody care to comment on these 4 FE. Would # 2 be enough , or should order next level, if not from where ? I do a lot of HD net purchases. (free shipping/ more varietie than store etc). For mounting on tractor/truck. This thread got me thinking.
Search Results for*fire extinguishers*at The Home Depot
This one also suppose to have better finish for outdoor elements : http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ec...&storeId=10051
Nicely done, Brian.
You even got the paint to match!
Talk about enough extinguishers, I have 9 in my 2 story garage. 3 co2 and 6 powder. One each in the two vehicles and boat but none on the tractor (I'll have to remedy that). Also have 8 of them in the house at various locations, Halon, co2, and powder. We have a volunteer fire department here, and you are the best first responder. By the time they assemble and get on scene, their considered foundation savers.
That is very true!! This is why you frequently need to take the dry chemical extinguishers out of their bracket, turn it upside down, and shake it until you can feel the chemical moving around inside it. On mine, it seems like the longer I let it compact, the harder it will be to break it up. I learned that right here on TBN. :thumbsup:
Don't forget too, that in a case like this, you CAN put out a grease fire with SNOW, rather than running to the house/garage. Doesn't help on a hay rig though.
i carry a FE on all my tractors. good insurance.
on the yoke ont he tractor.. if it is siezed.. I suggest carefully attacking it with a die grinder till you can split it and then use a chissle to driv eit open a hair then slide off.
Tried again today with no luck. I'll try to figure out what kroil is. I haven't tried fluid film yet.
I found out that the heat from the fire was so much that it slightly melted a portion of the drawbar which the spinning shaft was able to get close to.! Not enough to have to replace it but I will have to grind it down a bit to smooth it out.

Human Assets Can Make Your Business Fly – Or Sink The "human factor" is the common element in most risk and crisis scenarios 9 out of 10 risks or security problems are caused by people inside your organisation
Business Risks on HR Side Fraud Distribution scams Legal disputes Industrial espionage Intellectual property theft Workplace theft Harassment & discrimination claims Corruption Backlash vs. workouts Sabotage Kidnapping Extortion Unsecure data & communications Workplace violence (including violence against executives and facilities) Organised crime Confidentiality breaches Accidents Mismanagement Service deterioration Contractual risk
Asian Labor Environment Asia is a growth area representing a major source of new professionals… …Yet it is also a major center of labour ethics violations Unethical sources include: child labour, sweatshop labour, forced labour, prison labour Cultural differences – "us vs. them" – make multinational corporations vulnerable
HR-related Crime Scenarios Fraud, industrial espionage, intellectual property theft and piracy, corruption, sabotage: staff are often involved Data & communications are at risk from employees, not just from external enemies Organised crime may recruit your staff, or plant stooges
HR-related Crime Scenarios Workouts & downsizings can spark backlashes, violence, asset stripping, hostage taking Product tampering extortionists are often insiders Kidnappers rely on insider information
Common Traits of Companies That Get Into Trouble Frequently rotating managers Poor public and corporate records Migration of cliques – "tribal loyalty" Corporate culture not instilled Neglect of due diligence practices Internal controls not firmly enforced No corporate HQ connection with key staff
Ongoing HR Risk Mitigation Employee Integrity Program (EIP)
Employee Integrity Program (EIP) – Why Have One? Your organisation needs: Honest employees Effective internal controls Strong & visible deterrents
Employee Integrity Program (EIP) — Why Have One? An effective EIP will help you: Reduce risks to your reputation Protect your resources Improve your bottom line Build your company's value
Employee Integrity Program (EIP) — Why Have One? An effective EIP will also help minimise losses relating to: Internal fraud & theft Negligent hiring Workplace violence Workers' compensation claims Non-performance of duties Non-compliance
What Goes Into An Employee Integrity Program (EIP) Background checks on senior or sensitive employees Professional pre-employment screening Monitoring and surveillance Spot checks on ethics compliance Substance abuse testing (USA)
What Goes Into An Employee Integrity Program (EIP) Risk analysis of your organisation Whistle-blowing & complaint mechanisms Structured exit interviews Strict standard operational procedures to maintain control over your organisation
Pre-Employment Risk Mitigation
What is the most common type of fraud in the world? Answer: Résumé fraud
Pre-Employment Screening LEVEL 1: Light Screening LEVEL 2: Medium Screening LEVEL 3: Full Screening All companies should conduct thorough background checks before hiring. Three different levels of pre- employment screening are available to fit your needs.
Pre-Employment Screening When considering pre-employment screening, consider the following: Find out not just where and when, but why the candidate left the previous job. Explanations of employers and copies of resignation letters should not be taken at face value
Pre-Employment Screening — Three Levels of Scrutiny LEVEL 1: LIGHT SCREENING Level 1 checks include: Criminality check Verification of ID number (many forgeries) Verification of last job Verification of highest degree obtained Verification of address
Employment Screening — Three Levels of Scrutiny LEVEL 2: MEDIUM SCREENING Level 2 checks include all of the checks in Level 1, plus: Verification of past 5 years employment Research into past financial behaviour
Pre-Employment Screening — Three Levels of Scrutiny LEVEL 3: FULL SCREENING Level 3 checks include all checks in Levels 1 & 2, plus: Verification of 10 years of employment Discreet in-depth reputational interviews Litigation checks
Pre-Employment Screening — Three Levels of Scrutiny LEVEL 3: FULL SCREENING Firms owned, licences held, discipline actions Media research Property asset research Research into liens, bankruptcy records
Mitigating HR Risks in Downsizing Scenarios
"Getting Even" Downsizing, restructuring, liquidation, exit time, firings, non-payment of bonuses, and similar actions often lead to: The "Getting Even" syndrome "Tribal loyalties" that outweigh corporate loyalty Hidden liabilities, pensions, redundancy pay, other issues
"Getting Even" Additional threats include: Asset stripping, sabotage, theft, embezzlement Poison letters, dirty tricks Theft of trade secrets, intellectual property theft Attacks on computer systems Pre-departure "gifts" – including computer viruses Physical violence, hostage taking
Mitigating HR Risks in Downsizing Scenarios Have effective business controls in place Control systems must be able to deter, detect & respond to internal threats Have early warning systems to spot risks Carry out risk & threat assessments before downsizings, firings or "bad news announcements"
Mitigating HR Risks in Downsizing Scenarios Other tactics to mitigate risks: Enhance management-staff communications Enhance crisis management planning Have contingency plans to deal with hostile employees or ex-employees
Mitigating HR Risks in Downsizing Scenarios Enhance security to protect people & premises Prevent unauthorised electronic access Protect & backup all operating, financial, and data processing systems & crucial assets
Mitigating HR Risks in Downsizing Scenarios Monitor departing staff on the way out Who are the staff most likely to stir trouble? Check employee computers for hostile plans Check ex-employees' computers for erased files
And Upsizing Scenarios — They Also Pose HR Risks Growth requires reviews of security & HR risks The "feel good" environment of expansion & high turnover growth can blind a company toward its risks Businesses outgrow existing controls — that's when security gaps appear
And Upsizing Scenarios — They Also Pose HR Risks Traditional organisational, financial & security controls may be inadequate protection against disaster Business processes can break down, and organisational mismanagement ensues
Case Studies Background checks reveal alarming discrepancies. The following are based on true cases.
Case Studies CASE 1: Forgeries and Fakes The applicant claimed to hold a university degree The university named by the candidate reported that the applicant's degree was 'fake and forged' A reference letter, apparently signed by the university's Deputy Controller of Examination, was also 'fake and forged' A second degree (BBA) claimed by the applicant was never conferred, and the claim was false
Case Studies CASE 2: False Employment Record A post-employment verification is conducted on a current employee One of the employee's previous employment records is revealed as fake — she had never been employed by the company, as claimed For the rest of her employment details, there were conflicts in claimed job titles, duties and salaries
Case Studies CASE 3: Fraud Alleged by Former Employer When contacted, an applicant's previous employers reported that the applicant had been terminated due to cash embezzlement, harassment and workplace violence A second employment verification revealed this termination, and the fact that the employee caused a financial loss to his employer
Case Studies CASE 4: Fake Reference Letter Applicant provided a reference letter from her previous employer This employer was contacted and shown the reference letter The organization revealed that the applicant had never been employed by them, and the letter she had provided was a fake

About 6 months ( or more, who keeps track anymore? ) we started this game. The whole time you think ahead to the glorious comments you will write in the NG text field. Then you get here and realize you have nothing to say, and can only let your work speak for itself.
In the end, I guess that's the best thing you can ever really say about anything.
I hope you guys like it, if you blaze into it without reading the instructions, you probably won't, due to the fact it is pretty complicated. Take your time and learn it, and you just might have fun or discover the challenge of escaping the prison of industry.
I'll keep it short:
1) I liked how it was almost free-running. That's always a nice change of pace on Newgrounds. If it could be more fluid that'd be cool.
2) Chains did bug me. I got stuck on a level where I had to jump & grab a dangling chain, and it wouldn't work after everything you could try to get up & grab it.
3) Maybe make adrenaline harder to obtain w/o items, but last longer? Ienno.
Neat game.
this game is tight, style very attractive and the whole platform/puzzle kept me playing...although it was tough i never become a challange's bitch.
i dont know why people bitch about glitches, throughout the whole game i had none and no crashes at all. Keep up, a sequel would be nice too.
5/5, 10/10
THANK YOU on the glitches, it's like it works fine for only some ppl's computers while a vast majority get nothing but glitches... we can't fix it b/c these "glitches" don't appear for us on our comps!
glitches! (again)
There is a GREAT amount of glitches in this game. In the first encounter with a patrol bot outside the tutorial I slid into it. Then my internet page stopped responding for a second or two. After it came back on, it just should the exploding effect over and over again. It's a good game to be sure. The story was good and in-depth and the art style was also great. I especially liked the tube gunners (creepy!)
But my two main problems are these: The glitches (though thats already been covered) and the genre. It's like you could not make up your mind. There is some opponents and theres slick moves (action). There's also switches, pressure plates and strategy (puzzle). But at the same time there is the atmosphere (horror).
The game is very good, but just fix the glitches and but some work into one type of game play.
With some more polish, some fixes and updates it could be a pretty cool game.
I actually did'nt care for the style but that's an opinion so no worries.
If you jump and come in contact with a gain/Rope you should automatically catch, and some other annoyance that kinda get in the way...
With those out this game could be awesome. You did a good job. Oh and make the chains look like chains if you can =D
I wanted an auto-grab on the chains, but Eren said it would be a bigger problem then solution. I agree with you though.

On the Labour side, senior privy counsellors such as Tony Benn and Peter Shore were being mooted, along with John Morris, the shadow Attorney General.
Membership of the committee would be decided through the 'normal channels' - negotiation between government and opposition whips. But finding suitable Tories without a wide range of outside commercial interests might prove difficult.
Dale Campbell-Savours, the MP for Workington, who has led calls for an investigation, reminded the House yesterday that the Select Committee on Members' Interests ruled in its 1990-91 report that members should withdraw from select committee inquiries where there were conflicts of interest. More arguments might follow about timing in the run-up to the recess. Labour MPs are keen not to lose momentum.
The ultimate aim of some Labour MPs is not so much to ban all outside interests - that is widely viewed as unrealistic; both Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs hold paid directorships and consultancies - but to stop MPs actively pressing issues on their behalf.
Some MPs predict a good half of the current clutch of consultancies and lobbyists would wither away. More cynical Westminster sources warned, however, against expecting too much from the committee. While its remit is unlimited, there is no rule that it must even make a recommendation.
The last Parliament's committee began investigating the leaking of a draft report of the social security select committee report by one of its members, Jerry Hayes, Tory MP for Harlow. Then came the 1992 election, after which no new committee was appointed. The matter ran quietly into the sand.
On other occasions the committee has shown its teeth. Joe Ashton, Labour MP for Bassetlaw, yesterday told the Commons of his experience before the committee in 1974. He had raised the issue of 'MPs for hire' and was censured for contempt of the House even though he was the whistleblower, not a recipient of money.
In 1957, the then editor of the Sunday Express, John Junor, was forced to apologise for a serious contempt at the Bar of the House over an article about petrol allocations to party organisations.
Rulings are not always followed through by MPs, however. In 1986 they voted against the committee's recommendation that Richard Evans, a Times lobby reporter, should be banned from Parliament for six months over the leaking of a draft defence select committee report.

by Penny Pincher June 29th, 2010For Christmas this year, my parents bought brand new pots and pans for us. We were in desperate need of a good, solid set. My mom selected a brand that she had received the previous Christmas – Belgique. I wasn't familiar with the name, but she said these were the best pots and pans she'd ever used.
It has taken me until now to realize how true that statement is. As I scrubbed the remains of a burnt chicken incident from a frying pan this morning, I came to really appreciate this Christmas gift. Six months later!
The set includes … Read More »
Save Money with Munchkin Baby Accessories
by Penny Pincher June 28th, 2010Even if you're going to breastfeed your new baby, chances are good that you'll be using bottles at some point along the way. It's good to be prepared for the unexpected too. Because of an allergy my daughter has, my breastfeeding plans were thwarted quickly. I had to rush out and get some supplies…and not just bottles, either!
Feeding time needs a few key accessories. Some others are just nice to have and will make your life easier. Washing, sterilizing, drying, and organizing your bottles can be a daunting part of raising a baby – plus mixing the formula, traveling, … Read More »
Help Your Dog Or Cat Stay Healthy Year Round
by Penny Pincher June 26th, 2010Keeping your family pet healthy should be a year-long endeavor. Good care all year long can help your dog or cat live a longer life, cut down on expensive vet bills in the long run and make for a much happier home environment.
It's true, however, that some pet care items can get expensive. And with so many versions on the market and so many different "must-haves," it's hard to tell what you really need. Thankfully, beyond healthy food and clean water, dogs and cats don't require that much year-round maintenance. Here's what you need:
Heartworm Protection

DSW Online Store
by Penny Pincher June 25th, 2010I recently became a fan of ShopGala on Facebook, because I just can't get enough of these coupons. Seriously, they have begun to factor in to where I shop online! And yesterday, when a $10 Off a $10 DSW coupon popped up, I clicked the link and went shopping. Not only am I a sucker for a good coupon, I also can't resist a shoe sale.
When I got there, I learned that I could also receive free shipping on my order of $35 or more, with a free membership. I already have a membership… let the shopping begin!… Read More »
KiNeSYS Online Shopping Review
by Penny Pincher June 24th, 2010If you're going anywhere this summer (even out to the car!), you're going to need a good sunscreen. Time to hit the pharmacy! But sunscreen is expensive, so when I decided it was time to stock up for this year I did a quick search at ShopGala to find sunscreen coupons.
KiNeSYS was the first result. It seemed promising—an entire online store devoted to sunscreen—so I stayed and browsed. What first struck me was how well organized the search features were. I clicked on the "Browse" tab and found a full catalog of products with a handy drop down … Read More »
The Best Tummy Time Toys For Infants
by Penny Pincher June 22nd, 2010Pediatricians and early child development specialists will tell you how important it is to devote daily "tummy time" for your infant. Spending time on their belly allows infants to strengthen their arms and neck as well as learn to push up off the floor and hold their heads up and eventually how to crawl. Giving them supervised tummy playtime every day will help your baby reach these milestones on time.
My daughter, unfortunately, is not a huge fan of tummy time. I think she gets frustrated that she can't see anything from flat on her belly. The play mat we … Read More »
BJ's Online Store Review
by Penny Pincher June 21st, 2010I have to preface this review by saying that I did not know you could shop online at BJ's until I got an email with coupons for their online store. I recently got a BJ's club membership through my employer and had started receiving "Saving Tips" emails and the like. When I got the coupon advertising $3 off Pampers Diapers, however, I clicked to learn more.

Last Minute Father's Day Gifts
by Penny Pincher June 17th, 2010Father's Day is the weekend and if you haven't gotten Dad a gift yet, it might be time to panic. But don't just rush out and buy the first tie you see! Dad deserves something thoughtful, even if it is last minute, so consider these alternatives.
After all, how much fun is a tie?
Try to think like your Dad for a moment. What does he always say he wants to have more time to do? Is it fishing? Snowboarding (hey—plenty of dads snowboard!)? Maybe he wants to start a collection of something (so long as it's not ties). Try … Read More »

Jae Lee's works of art may have the fundamentals of comic art, but he takes it to the next level with radical compositions and slashing uses of pen and ink. His most current work in all pencil is a delicate balance of action, fine illustration, and iconic imagery. Sometimes it looks like a renaissance sculptor's work and sometimes it creates gothic horror, but the uses of shadow to define figures and objects is what sets Jae Lee's artwork apart from the pack. His powerful uses of inks can be characterized as aggressive and moody, his thin line works can be called delicate and elegant, and his pencil work can be seen as genius.

Woz shows what's in his bag – puts everyone's mobile device collection to shame
56 Comments
1. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Shows his toys.
3. svec7186 (Posts: 50; Member since: 24 Jul 2011)
why does he need all that tech on a daily basis?????
7. tedkord (Posts: 13022; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Because he can.
11. TheRetroReplay (Posts: 254; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
Woz is a lover of technology and he collects it. He loves playing with the latest and greatest gadget and is always in line for when a device launches.
12. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
I think I just shat my pants.
I'd love to have all that, but substitute the iPhones for SGSIIIs (because he already has a couple GNex), substitute the MacBook for a Samsung Series 9, and sub the iPad for a TF700t with dock.
Woz is a freaking BAMF.
17. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
it is not for daily basis.
30. Tre-Nitty (Posts: 468; Member since: 16 Nov 2010)
You are such a homer and fanboy. Get off Android's sack.
31. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)
why does he need 2 nexus ?
32. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Well excuuuuuse me.
I'm not a fanboy, I just don't want the same grid of Apps everywhere I look. I also just don't really like Macs. I've considered one many times, though. It has nothing to do with Apple, but I don't agree with a lot of their business practices.
And how am I a fanboy wanting a WINDOWS laptop along with my Android devices? I love Windows Phone too, and can't wait for Boot to Gecko.
Kiss my ass.
33. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
I don't know, but if I had two, I would use them for a comparison between 4.0 and 4.1.
Also, this is just me, but I would love to have an unlocked Galaxy Nexus (or Gnex 2?) as my primary device. I wouldn't care if I didn't have LTE.
34. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Yup, it is! He carries it with him everywhere.
53. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
I don't think you are an android fanboy
Just the annoying type of person that will buy anything but apple
There isn't a single product that you like in apple's range ? Isn't it great to have some diversity in your gadget collection ?
If you already have an android phone , why not get an iPad ? I have galaxy nexus and iPad 2 they make a great combination .
As for the mac the series 9 cost the same as the MacBook air . So why not get the mac ? It boots OS x and windows , have better touchpad and looks more classy .
Btw , specs isn't everything , I bought an iPod touch just because I like the design .
Grow up and stop hating !
54. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
This post is from like a month ago... But whatever.
No, to answer your question. I do like Apple's lineup of MP3 players, but I can just use my phone for that now. I do not like iPhones because they're too simple (and too small) and I do not like iPads for the same reason. I use Macs close to every week at school and I simply don't like them that much. I mean, Macs are awesome, but my personal preference would be Windows or Ubuntu. Also, I don't want to buy a more expensive Macbook when I'm just going to run Windows on it anyway. That's a ridiculous thing to do just to own something with an Apple symbol on it. You can just buy a cheaper Windows ultrabook! (And yes, they're cheaper than the next generation Macbook Pro, which starts at like $2000 or something. I like the Retina Display on it, though.
TL;DR No, there is no product that I like in Apple's entire range. That doesn't make me a hater.
55. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
Okay thanks for clarifying
But the new nano sucks , the screen is too small and can't play videos
You can check the prices online
Specs are the same series 9 and mac air and prices are the same too
56. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
The Macbook Air isn't as thin as the Series 9! ;D
5. svec7186 (Posts: 50; Member since: 24 Jul 2011)
whatever happened to convergance of tech????
28. buccob (Posts: 2606; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
I rather just get the Asus Padfone and a couple of 64GB microSDXC and SDXC cards than having to worry about that many gadgets...
BTW, why would you need a standalone GPS nowadays? Waze & GMaps+offline FTW :)
Anyway is still an impressive collection.
It missed to tag the Lacie External Hard Drive plugged to the Mac

Saturday, July 20, 2013
Clara Rice, Hood River County Fair manager, is retired.
Well, sort of. She retired from Sprint in 1994, but quickly became bored. So when the fair manager position opened up two years later, she decided to apply.
"It was the first interview for a job I'd had in 35 years," she remembered. "It was interesting."
Rice has been fair manager since October 1996, and, with the fair board and maintenance crew, has worked hard to expand the use of the grounds and, therefore, the revenue coming in. People often believe that the fairgrounds are funded by the county, said Rice, but they are not.
"Even though we receive tremendous support from the county, we don't receive any funding," she said. For the most part — they do receive some state funding every year — the fairgrounds are self-sufficient. Rental and usage fees keep the fairgrounds running.
"I have a great board that I work with," Rice said. "Everyone is very supportive and wants to see things happen. I have been very fortunate because we've all gotten along very well in all the years I've been here. It's a mighty plus."
Rice and the fair board now have a variety of activities that run almost year-round. There are big events — the Blossom Craft Show in April, the Hood River County Fair in July, the Gorge Fruit and Craft Fair in October and the Last Chance Christmas Bazaar in December — as well as smaller ones, such as the groups who rent the grounds for RV camping or the Community Building for parties or meetings.
Vehicle storage in the Floral and Summit buildings during the winter months bring in revenue during the off-season.
And there have been many changes to the grounds and buildings themselves in Rice's tenure. With help from Hood River Electric Co-op, the electric has been replaced in all the buildings, and added to the grounds for RV hook-ups. All buildings are now handicapped-accessible, roadways and parking areas have been paved and water and irrigation have been added.
She gives credit to the maintenance crew for keeping the fairgrounds looking nice and running smoothly.
"The grounds wouldn't work without them," she said. "They take a lot of pride in the grounds and the way they look." She has a crew of three year-round employees, but during fair, the number increases to nearly 20, including grounds and office staff.
The only time the fairgrounds are closed is during the Christmas holidays, for cleanup and repair. "And then we start up with rentals again at the end of January until the next December," said Rice.
As the fairgrounds have grown, so has the quality of the musical acts she's been able to book for the Hood River County Fair.
"We've been very fortunate and we've been able to get some good entertainment," she said. One stroke of luck was booking country musician Josh Turner a few years ago, two days before he hit the big time. "There's not enough money in the county to afford him now," she laughed.
They've been able to bring in larger acts because of neighbors Richard and Lorraine McCurdy. "They have 10 acres on the other side of the school they let us use for overflow parking at the fair. And without that, we wouldn't be able to have the entertainment that we do."
Originally from Mansfield, Ohio, Rice moved to Hood River in 1979 with the telephone company. She's stayed in the valley because of the beautiful surroundings and because she has built a lot of close friendships.
"The people here have always been so friendly and open," she said. "Everyone seems to be a part of a family."
Rice is enjoying her "retirement." Because hers is a part-time position and she has Tuesdays and Thursdays off, she has plenty of time to play golf — once a week at each of the local courses.
"You can't get much better than that," she laughed. "Those are premium hours," she said.
"This is my 17th year, and I've really, thoroughly enjoyed working with the people and the board. That's why I'm still here."

Parkdale third graders sing "12 Disaster Days of Christmas"
Welcome to your sing-able Christmas gift list. What follows is an emergency rendition of "12 Days of Christmas" – for outfitting your home or car in case of snow storm, earthquake, flood or other emergency. Read it as a simple list, or sing it to the tune of "12 Days" – you know, as in " … and a partridge in a pear tree…" Not to make light of it, but the song is a familiar framework for a set of gift ideas that you could consider gathering together, even if the recipient already owns items such as a bunch of coats, tire chains and flashlights. Stores throughout the Gorge are stocked up on all these items. Buying all 12 days might be prohibitive, but here are three ideas for checking any of the dozen off your list (notations follow, 1-12.) The gift items needed to stay warm, dry and safe are also coded to suggest items in your abode (A) in your car (C) or both (B). 12 Gallons of Water (A) 11 Family meals (B) 10 Cans of propane (A) 9 Hygiene bags (B) 8 Packs of batteries (A) 7 Spare coats (B) 6 Bright red flares (C) 5 Cozy blankets (B) 4 Tire chains (C) 3 Flashlights (B) 2 cell phone chargers (B) 1 And a crush-proof first aid kit (B) Price ranges? Here's a few quotes for days Three, Two, Four and Nine: n A family gift of flashlights (three will run $15-30, Hood River Supply, Tum-A-Lum) n Cell phone chargers (two will run $30-60) n Tire chains (basic set, $30, Les Schwab, returnable if unused for the winter) n Family meals ($100 or so should cover the basics for three or four reasonably well-fed days) n The home kit should be kept in a handy place near an exit, and remember that water needs to be replenished every few months. If you have a solid first aid kit already, switch out the gift idea with "and-a-sto-o-u-t- tub-for it-all …" Otherwise, it's a case of assembling your home or car kits and making sure all members of the family know what the resources are and how to use them (ie flares and propane). Emergency situations are at worst life-threatening, at best deeply uncomfortable if you and your family are left without power for an extended period, or traveling and find yourself in a situation where you need to wait out a storm, lengthy traffic delay, or other crisis. Notes on the 12 gift ideas: 12 – Gallons of water: that's one per person in a four-member family to last for three days, the recommended minimum to be prepared for utility outages. 11 – Easy-open packaged goods, energy bars, dried food and nuts are good things to include for nutrition. Think of what your family of four needs for three days to stay fortified and hydrated (see number 12). Can-opener also recommended 10 – If you have a propane camping stove, keep extra fuel handy. 9 – Hygiene bags: put packaged moistened towelettes, toilet paper, and plastic ties in large garbage bags (for personal sanitation) Resource list courtesy of Hood River County Emergency Management, Barbara Ayers, manager/ 541-386-1213. The county also reminds residents to Get a Kit, Make A Plan to connect your family if separated, and Stay Informed. See www.co.hood-river.or.us to opt-in for citizen alerts. Enlarge
