1990 Buick Cars
One of the world's oldest automobile marques, General Motors' near-luxury brand remains an ambitious survivor, as one of GM's last four active consumer vehicle lines. Founded in 1903, Buick served as the platform for GM's early corporate conglomeration. As Alfred Sloan refined the GM business model around mid-century, Buick was charged with holding onto customers who were growing and aging out of the Chevrolet and Pontiac brands. It became known for sleek styling, such as the 1949 Roadmaster, and ageless cues such as "waterfall" grilles and "Ventiport" holes on the hood or front fenders. Over the last few decades, Buick also gained as a performance brand, a tack that culminated in the 1988 introduction of the Buick Reatta two-seater. But as GM homogenized brands to cut development and manufacturing costs over the last couple of decades, Buick's identity suffered the most, and its demise was speculated. Instead, GM deep-sixed Oldsmobile and recommitted to Buick. Brand management stepped up, making Buick a domestic hallmark for product quality in J.D. Power surveys. In the vanguard of GM's globalization, Buick has become the most popular automotive brand in China, and GM engineers there are helping design new Buicks for North America. In the U.S., new models including the Enclave crossover, and renewed nameplates including LaCrosse, are making Buick a winning product line again.

Collecting the news from various sites as it's posted:
The Black Series: New packaging, more open for 6" and 3.75 has an Imperial Theme with a TIE Pilot head.
6" Figures. 2014 has Chewbacca from Episode IV, Ep II Clone Trooper, Darth Vader from Ep VI with 2 piece removable helmet and Jedi Luke with 2 shirts, open or closed shirt flap, New Sandtrooper (Black Pauldron).
6" Speeder Bike with Biker Scout from Episode VI with a stand of 3 different levels of height and adjustable stand.
6" Jabba The Hutt with movable arms that moves the mouth. Comes with Salacious Crumb.
Jabba may be a SDCC Exclusive. But that hasn't been confirmed as of yet. I really hope that's not true.
Updates from Sir Steve via Facebook:
Re: Jabba - 6" Jabba - moving arms opens mouth, like Clone Wars Jabba figure. Bill wanted to include tongue, but team disagreed.
Re: New Packaging - Black Series - spend plenty of time and brainpower working on things line. New look with blue accents instead of orange, new more open box can do taller figures. Imperial themed card for 3 3/4" shows TIE Pilot helmet similar to Rebels Stormtrooper card.
Update: Anakin Skywalker: Revenge Of The Sith comes wth 2 different heads! Sith Eyes head!!

Under the terms of the agreements with Pfizer Inc. and CST, the VENTANA ALK IHC diagnostic test will be based on CST's D5F3 antibody and VENTANA OptiView DAB detection, for performance on VENTANA automated platforms.
"At Ventana our mission is to improve the lives of all patients afflicted with cancer," said Mara G. Aspinall, President of Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. "We believe this collaboration will provide enormous benefit to patients suffering from NSCLC through biomarker identification. Our early development data suggests that the combination of CST's D5F3 antibody and VENTANA OptiView detection generates a highly sensitive assay that detects cases with very low expression of the ALK protein in lung tissue which means that XALKORI may be an appropriate treatment for those patients."
NSCLC is the world's number one cause of cancer related death, the most common form being adenocarcinoma. The determination of the presence of ALK gene rearrangements helps physicians select more specific therapies for NSCLC patients, including XALKORI. The benefits of IHC testing include laboratory workflow automation, speed, and cost effectiveness. The broad availability of IHC testing on VENTANA instruments will also benefit physicians and patients worldwide.
"In line with our vision for 'Personalized Healthcare', this agreement will help further our quest to be the companion diagnostics Partner of Choice to pharma companies worldwide," adds Aspinall.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Ventana to develop an additional testing option to identify NSCLC patients with ALK gene rearrangements. Working with regulatory authorities, our goal is to help those patients and their physicians determine the treatment options available to them," said Garry Nicholson, president and general manager, Pfizer Oncology. "Pfizer believes that each cancer patient's tumor is genetically unique, and that biomarker testing helps to identify those patients who may benefit from therapy."
"CST is very excited to enter into this agreement with Ventana for the development of next-generation diagnostic products that intend to fulfill the promise of personalized cancer medicine," said Michael J. Comb, Ph.D., CST President and CEO. "CST and one of its partners own dominant rights to the intellectual property directed to the detection of EML4-ALK translocations. As a leader in the development and manufacture of high performance antibody products, we are thrilled that the strategic R&D and intellectual property investments we've made in the area of EML4-ALK translocation detection are being applied to significant unmet needs in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients."
As new biomarker and diagnostic tests become increasingly available, they provide valuable information about potential recipients for these novel agents. Matching specific drugs to specific cancer types, or fitting the treatment to the patients, is at the heart of Roche's scientific vision for "Personalized Healthcare". It is the company's highest priority now and in the future.
About Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. ("VMSI") (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY), a member of the Roche Group, innovates and manufactures instruments and reagents that automate tissue processing and slide staining for cancer diagnostics.

Heavy Metal Mater
Redirected from Eddie
this wiki
Directed by: | John Lasseter Rob Gibbs |
Written by: | John Lasseter Rob Gibbs Matthew Luhn Scott Morse Kevin O'Brien Derek Thompson |
Release date: | October 8, 2010 on TV November 2, 2010 on DVD/Blu-ray |
Running time: | 3 minutes, 38 seconds |
Heavy Metal Mater is the seventh episode in the Cars Toons series.
At Flo's V8 Cafe, the cars are enjoying karaoke night (Guido is currently singing) and Lightning McQueen tells Mater to sing. Mater replies "Nah, I don't want to steal the show," and then he starts his story. Maters tells Lightning that he used to be a rock star. He started out in a garage band called Mater and the Gas-Caps with Mater as the lead singer, Rocky on guitar, Eddie on bass, and a drummer Pitty. They first performed at the Top Down Truck Stop (a location that first appeared in a deleted scene from Cars and also made a cameo in the film), and when they finished, Mia and Tia asked them if they had a record. Realizing they did not have a record made yet, the band heads over to a recording studio to make one. Everything went well in the studio until a fly got in. When the drummer tried to swat the fly with his drumsticks, he started playing faster. Mater had no choice, but to sing faster too, he liked the new heavier sound. A music agent named Dex liked their new sound too. Dex said all they needed was a new name. Mater thought for a while, but before he could answer a package arrived. "Where do you want this Heavy Metal, Mater?" asked the mover. "That's it!" cried Mater. And Heavy Metal Mater was born. The band's concerts sold out wherever they went. The band all had a cool new look that drove the fans wild. Heavy Metal Mater always put on an amazing show. They had lights, guitar solos, and they closed every show with their most popular song, "Dad Gum". And just as they finished the song, a giant Heavy Metal Mater balloon would float over the audience. "You were Heavy Metal Mater?" asked Lightning. "No," replied Mater. "We was Heavy Metal Mater!". Lightning was in the band too, jamming on the keyboard. He even joined Mater at the microphone for the big finale. "I'm sorry Mater, that did not happen," said Lightning. "Well suit yourself," replied Mater as he looked up in the sky where there was the giant Heavy Metal Mater balloon.

- To the left of the garage used by "Mater and the Gascaps", the pool from Mater the Greater can be seen.
- The Top Down Truckstop, where "Mater and the Gascaps" played, was originally seen in the movie Cars when Mack starts to get tired and wants to rest.
- The statue of Stanley makes a cameo in Heavy Metal Mater at the end of a corridor when Dex hears the new sound of "Mater and the Gascaps".
- The final concert of the short takes place at the Motor Speedway of the South, the stadium where the first race of the movie Cars takes place. This is the second time it made an appearance in a Cars Toon episode, the first time being Mater The Greater.
- Dex is supposed to represent Tex Dinoco.
- The idea of Mia and Tia being waitresses at the Top Down Truckstop comes from a deleted scene from Cars, which can be seen on the Cars DVD.

Join Emilio, Guido's older brother, for a festive New Year's celebration with his buddies Martini & Rossi.
(This isn't a full episode of Strategy Guide. It's just something I put together quickly on New Year's Eve for fun. I'm not even using my own computer for this one, so you may notice some weirdness with the audio.)
Although this is the official Episode 3 trailer, it has absolutely nothng to do with it. Sorry. :) Look for ep. 3 on Newgrounds sometime this month!
Special Note: All donators of at least $1.00 via Paypal receive a cool SG Wallpaper for their computer desktop! It's not much, but it's the least I can do. If you're game, make sure you send an email address I can send it to! Keep in mind that I make no money off of Strategy Guide - all money goes right back into the cartoon and the domain's webservers. Trust me, no one can make a living on a webcomic without a couple years of archived work ;)

Of course, it would be best if we all ate diets that provided an optimal vitamin and mineral balance every day from the foods we eat, but that's not always easy or possible these days. A supplement is particularly important for vegetarians or those on other limited diets because, unless one is very careful, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result.
Science has not found any particular diet that reliably improves testosterone or fertility. Everything points to the general idea that if a man eats for whole-body health, he'll be eating for his sexual health as well. That means the following:
- Switch from saturated fats such as butter to unsaturated fats such as liquid oils
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables (just don't drown them in butter or salad dressing)
- Keep portions of protein modest, particularly red meat
- Avoid white flours, white bread, white rice, and sugar--these all cause large spikes in blood sugar levels that can sap energy and lead to adult-onset diabetes. Whole grains are far preferable (and are often more tasty as well)
- Get more fiber in your diet--a morning high-fiber cereal is a very good way to help reach the recommended levels
- Eat a diet balanced in protein, carbohydrates, and fats--you'll feel less hungry. In general, carbohydrates increase appetite, fats and proteins decrease appetite--but don't push this to extremes
- Avoid sugary drinks and choose plain water, preferably with a squirt of fresh lemon, since that astringent flavor helps suppress appetite
That may sound overly simple, but you don't need complicated regimens, fancy diets, or other faddish-ideas such as eating a low-carb diet, or a low-protein diet, or a low-fat diet. Most people instinctively know how to eat well--the problem is avoiding the temptations produced by our in-born cravings for fat and sweets, cravings that served our species very well ten-thousand years ago, but which now cause us grief in our current environment.

Video: Ducks chime in on disallowed goal in loss
[bc3 height="320"]1529594132001[/bc3]
ANAHEIM -- Ryan Getzlaf and Bruce Boudreau were among those who took issue with Matt Beleskey's apparent tying goal that was disallowed in the third period of the Ducks' eventual 3-2 loss to the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins. Referees Brad Watson and Rob Martell did not respond to pool reporter's request for comment on the play but pointed to Rule 69 in the NHL rule book.
Under section 5B of Table 18, it states a situation where "An attacking player skates in front of the goalkeeper, well inside the crease, at the same time a goal is being scored. The attacking player remains in motion and, in the judgment of the Referee, maintains a significant position in the crease impairing the goalkeeper's ability to defend his goal." The result is the goal is disallowed and announcement should be, "No goal due to interference with the goalkeeper."

Carly Chaiken
This starlet of "Suburgatory" made a bold move with this somewhat odd number, be we kinda like it! What do you think?
Lucy Hale in Cengiz Abazoglu
Another out-there choice — Love the bead-embellishing of this assymetrical black dress from the designer's Summer 2010 Haute Couture Collection. I'm on the fence though about the train. Thoughts? Lucy is also wearing gorgeous Sutra earrings and a Baccarat ring.
Jennifer Morrison
This probably seemed like a good idea at the time.
And finally…
Ashley Greene in DKNY
Je suis not a fan of the leather and lace look. In black or …
Kristen Bell in Valentino
… in red!
Carrie Keagan
Well, Carrie Keagan certainly does have a nice pair of boobs. Might we suggest a new stylist to go with them?
Kelly Osbourne
Love the tangerine bottom half; intensely dislike the odd lavender-gray hair.
Tell us: Whose People's Choice Awards outfit do you most want to steal?
April Daniels Hussar is BettyConfidential's executive editor, and would most like to steal Nina Dobrev's dress because it would look good on someone with some curves! Not that she would ever steal. Stealing is bad.

DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Tigers have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Matt Treanor.
The team announced a deal was reached with the backup catcher Thursday. He hit .238 with two homers and 23 RBI in 65 games for Florida last season.
Treanor is married to two-time Olympic beach volleyball gold medalist Misty May-Treanor, who dropped out of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" after tearing an Achilles' tendon.
Detroit is expected to start Gerald Laird at catcher after acquiring him from Texas on the opening day of baseball's winter meetings. He hit .276 with six home runs and 41 RBIs in 95 games for the Rangers in 2008
The Tigers were looking for help at catcher after dealing Ivan Rodriguez last season and moving Brandon Inge back to third base.

Kenneth Cole may have thought he was being funny when he tweeted the following message yesterday:
"Millions are in uproar in #Cairo. Rumor is they heard our new spring collection is now available online at http://bit.ly/KCairo"
This tweet resulted in a backlash against Cole, with one blogger saying "it further stereotypes about idiotic, self-centered, consumerist Americas" and telling Cole to "file the social media intern."
Not only did Twitter followers re-tweet his message in disgust, they promoted the message with the hashtag #boycottKennethCole. Someone even created a fake Kenneth Cole account, @KennethColePR (similar to @BPGlobalPR), with the profile description:
"Kenneth Cole is all about making sure you look good…no matter what's happening" and posting inappropriate tweets such as:
Jeffrey Dahmer would have eaten up our spring collection!
Hey, Zsa Zsa - you can still wear one new KC pump!
Did a Jihadist blow up ur luggage while u were traveling in India? Head over to my store and Mumbai a whole new wardrobe!
In an attempt to save face, Cole quickly took to Facebook to issue an apology, saying:
"I apologize to everyone who was offended by my insensitive tweet about the situation in Egypt. I've dedicated my life to raising awareness about serious social issues, and in hindsight my attempt at humor regarding a nation liberating themselves against oppression was poorly timed and absolutely inappropriate. Kenneth Cole, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer."

Nancy Lublin:
Texting that saves lives
When Nancy Lublin started texting teenagers to help with her social advocacy organization, what she found was shocking — they started texting back about their own problems, from bullying to depression to abuse. So she's setting up a text-only crisis line, and the results might be even more important than she expected.

BigShot DIY Camera Now Available
Nearly four years after producing the first prototype, Professor Shree Nayar's BigShot DIY digital camera is now available to the general public. The main parts of the camera include a gearbox, a lens wheel, a printed circuit board with a 3-megapixel sensor and a 1.4-inch LCD panel, a LED flash, a rechargeable battery, a dynamo and a hand crank providing an option to use the camera when the battery is fully depleted. The final product is an improvement over the prototype, which made do with a 2-megapixel imager and no LCD screen at all. The lens wheel has three optical modules that allow you to take three types of photos - a "regular" lens with a horizontal angle of view of 40°, a wide-angle lens and a stereo lens for 3D photography. The BigShot camera is primarily intended to be an educational aid targeted at schoolchildren, with the kit being available for $89+shipping.

Studies find health benefits in living with others, except for those over the age of 80.
Even if you have bad roommates—loud, obnoxious, anal-retentive, etc.—there's a good chance they'll help you live longer.
A recent study of 44,617 people from 29 countries found that living alone was independently associated with an increase of death due to cardiovascular problems, such as stroke or heart attack. The findings of the study were released by the American Heart Association earlier this month.
The study isolated risk factors for cardiovascular problems, like obesity, smoking, gender, and age. The average age of the study participant was 69.
The most interesting part of the study is where things take a turn—after 80 years old, subjects living by themselves faired better than those living with others.
Of course, most people with roommates at the age of 80 tend to be in nursing homes, so it may be the case that those living independently tend to be happier and live longer than those in the nursing homes. Not that I'm saying there aren't some nice old folks homes out there.
Researchers have speculated on why the roommate situation can help people live longer—one idea is that a roomate is simple someone who can be there there to notice smaller medical events that could be signs of trouble. It could be as small a thing as one roommate telling another to see a doctor after experiencing some chest pain, whereas a person living along may dismiss it and not get the necessary attention.
Then again, those of us living with others at an age long before cardiovascular events are likely can thank our roommates for helping step in when our unhealthy habits want to get out of control.
A study released earlier this year from the Finish Institute of Occupational Health in Helsinki, Denmark, found that people who live alone are at a higher risk of dying from alcohol-related causes, including diseases and accidents.
This makes sense when comparing those results to a 30-year-old study that found that people who live alone don't have as much social contact, thus fewer points where friends and others can help regulate unwanted behavior through "social constraint, obligation, and responsibility."
In essence, when your housemates tell you to tone down the drinking or drug use, it'll help you live longer, even if you might not like it at the time.
Humans have always been pack animals. We hunted together, we gathered together, and we lived together because we found there was strength in numbers.
Even though the only things we have to gather these days comes from Ikea, that doesn't mean that we haven't lost our primal connection to be with others, no matter how introverted we really are. That contact will keep us healthy, whether we realize it or not.

Anyone see this dual channel CAN bus adapter for Arduino Due http://store.evtv.me/proddetail.php?prod=DueCANBUS
Apparently there is a library out for it as well. https://github.com/collin80/due_can
Is this shield compatible with the Arduno Due?

SMD a mosquitoes ass ….no problemo for SOLDERMAN!
Resistance is futile little mosquito. You will be assimilated.
Found it. This gives the binary command set.
In Arduinospeak
int baud38400 (160,161,0,4,5,0,3,1,9,13,10,0);
Serial2.write(baud38400, 11);
This will write the string for setting baud rate to 38,400 and save it to both SRAM and FLASH.
Is there any way to send a command over the serial connection to this VenusGPS to change the baud rate or the NEMA string selections WITHOUT using the GPSView software.
I have it working on an Arduino board. The sensitivity does not seem quite as advertised, but it more or less works. But I need to bump it up from the default 9600 bps and cut out a couple of the unnecessary NEMA strings.
What commands do I need to send it? I don't see them documented anywhere.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Rick Perry's Border Ad Foreshadows Brutal GOP Primary In 2016
A dramatic new ad by Rick Perry foreshadows the ugly fight ahead. It suggests that gang members and terrorists are setting up shop in the United States due to weak border enforcement. The Texas governor, widely seen as a 2016 candidate, torches President Barack Obama for ignoring his warnings about the influx of migrant children and exhibiting a "failure of leadership."
"They either are inept or don't care," Perry says of the Obama administration.
It's enough to give GOP strategists nightmares. In a so-called autopsy after their 2012 defeat, the Republican National Committee said the party "must embrace and champion comprehensive immigration reform. If we do not, our Party's appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only." There was no ambiguity in the RNC's warning: "If Hispanic Americans perceive that a GOP nominee or candidate does not want them in the United States (i.e. self-deportation), they will not pay attention to our next sentence."
In 2012 the Latino vote carried Obama to victory in key battleground states like Florida, Nevada and Colorado, and the constituency is seen as increasingly important to the GOP's ability to remain competitive on the presidential level.
And yet Perry's ad is only the latest in a brewing competition among Republican White House hopefuls over who's the toughest sheriff on immigration.
Last week Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who is building a national network in apparent anticipation of a presidential bid, attacked Perry for signing a law that permits in-state tuition for undocumented children. Paul told the Wall Street Journal that the policy was a "beacon" that has encouraged more illegal immigration, resurrecting an attack that Mitt Romney used in 2012 to damage the Texas governor in the Republican primary.
"President Obama won't send them home, and Gov. Perry has done the same thing by giving them in-state tuition. That's a beacon without any kind of border security," Paul told the Journal.
Paul faces competition from within the Senate, too.
Two weeks ago Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, another potential candidate for the White House, persuaded House conservatives to scuttle a Republican bill because it wasn't tough enough on undocumented immigrants. The resulting legislation, which firebrand Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Michele Bachmann (R-MN) raved about, would end existing deportation relief for young people and take away the president's authority to grant it to anyone else. Nearly all Republicans voted for it, and it passed the House. Now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is demanding a vote in the upper chamber.
"The evidence shows that the amnesty President Obama announced in 2012 is driving record numbers of immigrants to enter our nation illegally," Cruz said at the time. "The only way to stop the border crisis is to stop Obama's amnesty."
All of this comes after the Republican-led House killed a comprehensive immigration bill passed by the Democratic-led Senate and championed by Obama. Modest overtures toward reform by Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and ousted House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) have been rebuffed by the tea party base, which fiercely opposes any kind of leniency for people in the U.S. illegally. Instead the only immigration bills that have been allowed to a full House vote would require the deportation of so-called Dreamers.
The RNC declined to comment on the intra-GOP jousting. A spokeswoman downplayed the committee's call for immigration reform in its March 2013 report and said bad legislation would be worse than no legislation.
"First of all, the RNC doesn't weigh in on issues between potential presidential candidates, that is their business," RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski told TPM in an email. "What was said [in the report] was that we believed that action on comprehensive immigration reform would be helpful but we didn't prescribe what that looked like – that is up to the policy folks to iron out. Bad immigration reform is no more helpful than status quo."

To the editor: Recently at Ocean Isle Beach, I was about to get my almost-brand-new canopy out of the car and set it up on the beach, as I do each year in front of our rental cottage, but I was waylaid by the lure of the morning paper.
Horror of horrors, I read the letters to the editor of the Beacon and discovered I was about to become a local lawbreaker—maybe even a felon—for putting up a canopy.
There were no signs in front of my cottage warning me about this, and no, the Realtor who rented me the cottage had not warned me to arrive canopy-less.

Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles Performs Neil Diamond Song at Kennedy Center Honors
Sugarland vocalist and newlywed Jennifer Nettles wrapped up a busy end of 2011, which included getting married as well as performing at Christmas specials and the Nobel Peace Prize concert, by appearing at the Kennedy Center Honors on Dec. 27. The performance saluted the one and only Neil Diamond. Nettles performed a flawless rendition of Diamond's classic, torchy ballad 'Hello Again.'
Nettles proudly represented the country genre, since the tribute to Diamond also featured performances by classic R&B singers Smokey Robinson and Lionel Richie, and up and comer Raphael Saadiq.
Wearing a shimmering black pantsuit, with a plunging neckline, Nettles cut a fashionable figure in her solo performance, which featured a sparkling cityscape in the background. During Nettles' heartfelt performance, the camera panned to Diamond himself in the crowd, with a grin spread across his face. He certainly appeared to approve of the way that Nettles performed one of his signature songs.
Maybe Diamond will invite Nettles to duet with him in the future? They both have such unique and beautiful voices that it wouldn't be the strangest thing in the world!

Reporting on first sexual experience: The importance of interviewer-respondent interaction

Survey methodologists typically seek to improve data on sensitive topics by standardizing surveys and avoiding the use of human interviewers. This study uses data collected from 90 never-married young adults in rural Malawi to compare reports on first sexual encounters between a standard survey and an in-depth interview. A significant fraction of young women who claimed in the survey to have never been sexually active affirmed sexual experience during the in-depth interview, fielded shortly thereafter. Two elements of the in-depth interview, flexibility and reciprocal exchange, foster trust and more truthful reporting. The findings contradict the long-standing presumption that face-to-face interviews are inherently threatening when the topic is sex.

EU Could Compel Carriers to Support VoIP
Apr 13, 2009, 1:03 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
The European Union is considering legislature that would force wireless network operators to support VoIP on their networks. Currently, individual countries oversee such legislature, but if it is enacted by the EU, then all operators hosting wireless services in EU member states would be forced to comply. VoIP allows end users to make calls through the Internet that can be less expensive than via cellular networks.

Captain's Report
Cruiser Comfort Combined with Sportboat Performance By Capt. Bob SmithEven though this was the second year testing Cobalt boats in the Coeur d'Alene area, and the second time it rained the entire day of testing, the Cobalt family was ready and willing to weather the storm and help me bring this report to you. The first of the two new models I tested was the all new 323. This cuddy cabin cruiser satisfies the needs of a couple that primarily wants to do day boating, but finds a weekend or two to stay out on the hook. Topside amenities include large spaces for entertainment, while the cabin has the room for two to relax easily for the night. A small galley and head provide the necessary amenities for a most comfortable stay overnight, or for a weekend.Bow FeaturesForward of the windshield, the 323 has a center walkway leading to the bow pulpit and anchoring system. Twin low stainless rails give you plenty to grab onto and safely move forward even in rocking seas. The optional windlass will likely be a standard feature if you're cruising regularly. The anchor retreats into a slot in the bow with a stainless receiver that keeps the bow in great shape and adds to the beauty. Docking lights can help you find your way into a dark slip or up on the trailer at night. Getting to the bow is simple with a unique set of stowable steps. Flip a lever and slide the stairs out of the port side of the companionway, and they lock in place for safe travel through the center walkthrough windshield. Comfortable Cockpit SeatingThe cockpit seating offers extraordinary room for relaxing at anchor or chatting while underway to your next destination. The port seat has a flip-flop backrest that creates a forward facing seat, or it becomes a lounger-back and comfortable couch along the entire port side of the cockpit. Double glove boxes in the dash on the companion side offer extensive space for keeping papers and wallets dry and organized. Stainless steel cup holders are conveniently peppered throughout the cockpit, so everyone has a place for their cool beverages. Another unique feature is the cockpit table that flips out of the bench on a hinge on the port side and locks in place. You don't have to find where the table leg was left or put anything together, just flip and serve. Speaking of serving, you will have fun doing just that from the wet bar just behind the helm. This large station includes a Corian countertop with stainless cup organizer, sink, and refrigerator. Next to the wet bar is a handy built-in ice chest for keeping more of your beverages chilled.Stern FeaturesFlipping seems to be the order of business on the 323 as the rear bench also has a flip-flop bench back. This one gives you a forward facing bench for entertaining in the cockpit next to the wet bar, or becomes an angled headrest for the expansive sun pad on the stern.At the HelmThe helm is elegantly organized for ease of use and for comfortable driving. The stereo remote control is to the left of the wheel in the lower panel with paddle switches and night lights above. Faria gauges monitor nearly every function possible, and are arranged from left to right across the upper section of the dash. A digital depth gauge with air and water temperature readings is to the far left of the gauges and a Garmin GPS is strategically located dead center of the cluster. Power assisted hydraulic steering made handling effortless.Sun Pad and Swim PlatformThe sun pad on the back is nothing short of monstrous for the size of this boat. If you like watching the stars, you'll find this to be a great place to sit back and relax. During the day, it is a wonderful spot for soaking up some rays. Under the center section of the pad is an insulated built-in cooler for cold beverages. Just aft is another box for storing lines, fenders and other gear needed at the stern. A swim shower is mounted in this box and has hot and cold water. Slipping through the starboard walkthrough is a large swim platform, with center mounted deployable ladder. This one is simple enough to launch from the water and has a handy flip out bottom step that's wide enough to use even with fins on. Under the edge of the stern, just over the back of the swim platform are LED lights that will light up the platform nicely in the evenings.Cabin FeaturesYou enter the cabin through a center companionway and down steps, which can be flipped up out of the way to reach storage under the cockpit floor. The galley is mounted on the port side and has some storage, a stainless sink, single-burner cooktop and a microwave behind two doors below the sink. The V-berth takes every advantage of space and is a truly comfortable bench for relaxing inside. To convert this into a berth, simply lower the table, pull out two pins and lock in the filler cushions for a nice bed for two adults. To starboard as you enter the cabin is a functional head compartment for this size boat. This one has a vanity with toilet and telescopic faucet/shower head. Just behind the hinged steps is a wide padded hatch leading to a storage area, which has a light and an air conditioning vent.SpecificationsThis boat measures 34'9" length overall, with a beam width of 10'6". This boat is still being finalized, so you will have to check with the dealer for the approximate dry weight. Fuel capacity is rated at 174 gallons and fresh water is 35 gallons. Draft is calculated at 24 inches with the outdrive up, and 35 inches with the outdrives in the fully extended position. Bridge clearance is 8'10" with the optional radar arch and 6'5" without it.Performance and RideWe tested this boat on an inland lake with two people on board and found her best cruise to be at 3500 rpm running 39.2 miles-per-hour. At cruise speed, she burns about 26.1 gallons-per-hour for a range of 235 miles on a full tank of fuel. She topped out at 5000 rpm at a thrilling 55.5 miles-per-hour, which translates into a range of about 143 miles. The 323 was quick to plane in only 5.2 seconds and up to 30 miles-per-hour in only 8.2 seconds. This boat ran very quiet even in the choppy water. The turns were very smooth and complete at nearly running speed with little loss of headway or steerage. Handling at all speeds was predictable both underway and at the docks.The 323 is a trailerable cruiser with the amenities of a much larger boat, and offers the comfort of casual entertaining. It may just be why Cobalt is calling this model "The Ultimate Dayboat."Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Cobalt 323 is 55.5 mph (89.3 kph), burning 60.9 gallons per hour (gph) or 230.51 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Cobalt 323 is 39.2 mph (63.1 kph), and the boat gets 1.50 miles per gallon (mpg) or 0.64 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 235 miles (378.2 kilometers).
- Tested power is 2 x 375-hp MerCruiser 496 Mag.

Vital for agents of change to distinguish between idealism and reality
The pressure from ordinary educated citizens who have their feet firmly planted in reality and its complexities will force Pakatan Rakyat to reassess its relevance and work towards cohesiveness, says Ronald Benjamin.
The clamour for change in Malaysia among the educated and human rights activists In Malaysia seems to be going through an impasse. The new politics feels to be a distant dream when one looks at the crisis that is enfolding in Pakatan Rakyat, especially the way the Menteri Besar crisis in Selangor was handled.
If there is such a big problem even in agreeing on a Menteri Besar, what about the position of Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers if Pakatan comes to power? Will there be infighting for these positions due to failure in addressing what constitutes a cohesive government? Is this not the reason why Pakatan has not formed a shadow cabinet in parliament?
One of the important factors that one has to understand is that there is always a distinction between the aspiration for change and the typical political players entrusted to bring about the change. The inability to distinguish between these two elements is one of the greatest drawbacks for those who aspire for change to the political scenario in this country.
There is a tendency to bring a theoretical or ideological concept in interpreting reality to suits one's political or social inclination, while failing to see reality as it is. Reality is full of contradictions and deep- seated ideological chasms that make any implementation of a vision of governing a difficult task.
The failure to holistically comprehend the reality of what Pakatan Rakyat is all about in terms of its capability of governing Malaysia in a cohesive manner has not been properly analysed by certain agents of change in this country. Good governance cannot be based on mere idealism communicated during elections; it requires leaders who are capable of liberating themselves from simplistic ideologies and tackling reality as it is, cohesively.
In a cohesive coalition, ideologies like an Islamic state or Malaysian Malaysia would be transformed into a coherent vision of substance that would address history as well as the reality of the social, political and economic landscape. Religion would be put in practice in terms of practical significance by balancing form with substance without fearing the loss of identity.
The reality is, Pakatan Rakyat is basically a loose coalition of high ideals for change – but it does not have a cohesive governing vision to bring about the ideals into reality. Evidence that it lacks a cohesive vision is Pas' insistence on implementing hudud law in Kelantan.
Pas is also going through an identity crisis. It feels it is not as dominant as Umno and is being dominated by the PKR and the DAP. It is basically struggling with its Islamic Ideology as to how far it is willing to compromise to be in a coalition since it has declared itself a far more Islamic alternative to Umno.
The understanding of democracy is also a problem: there is confusion between meeting the aspirations of the electorate and pleasing the Palace. Issues of nepotism and unhealthy factionalism have derailed the integrity of PKR and the DAP, which brings into question the deeper dimension of the ability of these parties to govern with cohesiveness and integrity.
It is therefore vital for human rights advocates and agents of change to distinguish between great idealism and reality. Substantial changes will only come when there is greater empowerment of a multi-ethnic grassroots citizens' base that shares a collective consciousness and a common experience. NGOs and agents of change must spend more time empowering ordinary people on reality as it is and on what can be done to bring about change rather than depending on or aligning with any political parties.
The pressure from ordinary educated citizens who have their feet firmly planted in reality and its complexities will basically force Pakatan Rakyat to reassess its relevance and work towards cohesiveness.
All three members of PKR are under the illusion that they are three because the voters have voted for them. As such all the three parties are fighting for a bigger slice of the pie especially the members of these parties. Sorry to say they are all under the illusion they are all there because they are personally voted by the people.
No they are there because the voters are so tired of the present tenants in either Putrajaya or the several corrupted Selangor's administrators over the past many decades and I am saying these on behalf of the many voters that I know very well. As a consequence they just voted for these power greedy politicians because there is no one else they can vote for. After all anyone else is better than the Umno schmucks and all those disguised as their partners.
Of course they all realize what a mistake that was and it will not happen again, by that it does mean that the votes, in future, will vote for Umno/BN. There is so much resentment for them that they would rather have half a loaf than nothing at all. Therefore please for crying out loud look for a more dedicated opposition now before the next GE.

There is a saying... "It looks like a flower but it does not smell like a flower."
I have heard this applied to Karate students. The student kicks, punches, blocks, and performs kata like a Karate student but something is not quite right. It is like a flower with no smell -- a living flower should have a fragrance.
What is the Karate student missing? The answer is sincerity. A sincere student is like a living flower. Without sincerity, a student can be nothing more than a plastic flower -- an imitation of the real thing. Plastic flowers don't grow.

Resistance: Level 1-5 For Weightlifting & Bodyweight Training
Spri Variable Resistance Superbands – Want to add variable resistance to your barbell training for increased power, acceleration and explosiveness? A complete set of Spri Superbands can rejuvenate your weightlifting or sports training program by greatly increasing the intensity and training dynamic with Olympic weight bars. Superbands are commonly used in power racks or squat cages equipped with band pegs. Because of their versatility, they can also be anchored to other anchor points, such as strength equipment frames, if band pegs are not available. Use your rubber resistance bands to perform many variations of bodyweight and weightlifting exercises. Barbell pressing movements, such as bench presses and squats, are a couple of the most popular resistance band exercises. On each exercise, as you lower the bar towards the floor the resistance of the bands decrease thus making the bar feel lighter. As you execute the exercise and move the bar further from the floor the resistance increases. Using resistance bands for barbell training is a great way to reduce the need for buying so many Olympic plates as you'll most certainly need to lighten the bar to accommodate the additional resistance of the bands. Superbands are extremely effective training tools for both bodyweight training as well as weight training for the home, school weight room, fitness studio, barbell club, sports performance center, rehabilitation clinic and commercial club.
