SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 21 (Reuters) - A second U.S. judge blocked President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing new rules that undermine an Obamacare requirement for employers to provide insurance that covers women's birth control.
U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam in Oakland, California, on Thursday said the federal government likely did not follow proper administrative procedures in promulgating the new rules, and put them on hold while a lawsuit challenging their legality unfolds. The decision follows a similar ruling from a federal judge in Philadelphia last week. (Reporting by Dan Levine in San Francisco; Editing by Leslie Adler)

How to sue
Free consultation. Most lawyers will talk to you over the phone to analyze the situation and tell you if you actually have a case or not. If you have a case they will tell you for absolutely no charge to you and they have no reason to lie because it's free money for them.
Small claims vs. Large claims. A small claim is when you are sueing someone for an amount not exceeding $5,000 USD. However, A large claim is when the amount is exceeding $5,000 dollars and no larger than $30,000 dollars.
Get medical records if applicable. If you have a personal injury case, you may want to go ahead and get your medical records related to the incident. You will also need to take pictures of your car if you've had an accident or any items related to the incident. This step isn't required but your attorney will likely ask you to do this if you want to speed up the process.
Get witnesses. Any time you sue someone over a financial dispute, the defense and plaintiff usually have witnesses that were present during the altercation or incident. Your witness can be a relative, friend or family member as long as they were present during the incident.
Hire specific attorneys. A lot of people will hire the wrong attorney by hiring a personal injury attorney for something that's not even related. The problem is, most attorneys won't turn down business even if they aren't the best man for the job. If you want your lawsuit to be successful, it's important that you research the specific attorneys related to your case.
Be aware of fake attorneys. You may not believe this, but their are attorneys that are able to practice law without a license because of the lenient background checks done by the courts. This is why it's important to check with the American Bar Association to find out if an attorney has even passed the bar. In larger cities, this isn't a problem but it can be a huge problem in small towns and many attorneys get away with this for years while charging clients the same price.

The primary components of a side mirror on a car or truck are the exterior mounting and the mirror glass itself. However, many modern cars incorporate additional components, such as power adjustment motors or lighting fixtures, into the side mirror assembly.
It is often possible to replace the glass in a side mirror separately from the housing or other components if it is the only part of the assembly that is damaged. However, this can be complicated in some vehicles by the integration of turn signal lights into the mirror itself. Additional mirror components sometimes found on luxury vehicles include memory modules and motors that allow the mirror to fold and unfold.

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Monday came down heavily on the CBI for its failure to arrest any of the accused in the Adarsh Housing Society scam despite having evidence and directed it to take action without "fear or
"Why have you (CBI) not arrested any of the accused yet..? Are you feeling shy or are you just protecting the accused..? If prima facie case is made out against anyone then action should be taken irrespective of who that person is. Delay in such cases can be dangerous," a division bench of Justices P B Majmudar and R D Dhanuka said.
The court, after going through the progress report submitted by CBI, asked as to why no action had been taken in the form of arrest when the agency had found sufficient material against the accused.
"Take action without fear or favour. We agree that some of the accused persons are high-ranking politicians but by initiating action CBI should send out a message that any wrongdoer, irrespective of who he is, will be punished," Justice Majmudar said, adding it was unfortunate that even after having evidence CBI was not initiating action.
The court did not agree with the plea of CBI counsels K Sudhakar and Ejaz Khan that arrests had not been made as the investigation was at its fag end and a charge sheet would be filed in two months.
"Filing of charge sheet should not stop you (CBI) from arresting the accused. In several cases, CBI arrests the accused first and then files charge sheet. Why are you making an exception in this case..?" Justice Majmudar asked.
The CBI counsels said the FIR in the case was filed on January 29 and 14 persons, including former chief minister Ashok Chavan were named as accused.
They said complicity of two more persons had surfaced during the investigations and the charge sheet would include these too as accused.
The court was hearing a batch of public interest litigations filed by social activists Simpreet Singh and Pravin Wategaonkar seeking monitoring of the probe by the High Court and invoking provisions of Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the case.
The bench while adjourning the matter till March 22 warned the probe agency that it would summon CBI Director if "concrete steps" were not taken. "We are giving you (CBI) last chance. If you don`t take concrete steps we will summon the CBI Director from Delhi."

Should investors buy property, property stocks or both?
Many investors are unsure whether to put their money into a physical property or sector stocks, but returns depend on when you buy
Related topics
Broadly speaking there are two ways to invest and participate in the Hong Kong real estate market.
There is the direct approach - you buy a property (be it residential, office, retail, industrial, or whatever one fancies) or become a real estate developer, and one not only benefits from rising prices, but also from adding to the value of land, for example by changing its use or development density.
Alternatively there is the indirect approach - you buy a related stock, for example Sun Hung Kai Properties; or buy into a reit (real estate investment trust), for example The Link.
Naturally, there are other, more complicated approaches involving complex finances, but these are beyond the scope of this article.
From time to time, one may read debates in news media among investors and commentators about which of the above approaches offer better returns. Real estate agents tend to favour investing in bricks and mortar, while stocks traders would say equities offer better expense ratios, especially if all the stamp duties are taken into account.
Out of curiosity, we have done a quick comparison between the two asset types, that is, bricks-and-mortar real estate holdings versus paper equity real estate holdings.
For our data on bricks and mortar we have turned to the various residential indexes published by Centaline Property Agency; and the real estate stock performances are abstracted from www.Webb-Site.com, where the total return of each stock can now be found.
The time period we have chosen, somewhat arbitrarily is December 30, 2007 to January 20, this year, or roughly five years.
This is not exactly comparing apples with apples. Note that the bricks-and-mortar data are averages of the residential real estate sector and the stock performances are based on selected real estate stocks and reits.
While real estate rentals have been taken into account, they are not factored back into the property, because unlike stocks one either buys a whole unit or nothing, that is, one cannot use the net rents collected in a year to acquire a few more square feet of property.
The stock performances assume the dividends are to be reinvested to buy more of a stock.
Another caveat is comparing total returns with compounded annual returns. Total returns for bricks and mortar take rental yields into account, and for simplicity we have assumed the average rental yield for the period and for all geographical regions to be 4 per cent a year, that is, roughly 20 per cent in total for the five-year period.
For stocks (including reits), total returns include dividend yields. Likewise, the compounded annual returns for both bricks and mortar and paper equity have taken into account the rental yield and dividend yield respectively.
In the resulting table, CCL represents the overall Hong Kong residential real estate sector.
It is clear from the data that New Territories West offered the best total return over the period we have selected, and Hong Kong Island performed the worst.
In the case of paper equities, Cheung Kong (Holdings) and Sun Hung Kai Properties are among the most popular and sizeable property development stocks. The rest are reits, which invest mostly if not exclusively in commercial properties; one should also note that Yuexiu Reit invests in properties on the mainland, and not in Hong Kong.
From the data it is clear that reits offer better or more competitive returns.
As a group they offer some of the best total and annual compounded returns.
So does this suggest you should focus on investing in reits?
The simple answer is no, because these results may apply only to the period and the items studied. There is no proof beyond any doubt that reits will, at any time in any place, outperform their bricks-and-mortar equivalents, or vice versa.
Timing and reasoned selection of assets are more crucial.
Also, if one takes financing into the equation, then bricks and mortar generally offers better terms, as mortgages are usually less expensive than, say, a personal loan.
Given that the reits lean heavily toward commercial properties, and given that the typical bricks-and-mortar investor would find the residential sector easier to comprehend and participate in, it makes sense, then, to participate in both.
There are several issues to consider in setting up a well-balanced property investment portfolio including asset type (residential, office, retail, and so on) and diversification (note: there is no market risk diversification by investing in both residential and commercial properties in Hong Kong because the price correlations between them are high).
Also to be taken into account is recurrent income (rentals, dividends) and diversification not only in terms of sources but also in aspects of taxation. For example, rental incomes involve taxes while stock dividends do not for a Hong Kong resident.
Buying is one thing, selling another. What flexibility do you have in your portfolio? In this respect, property stocks and reits are easier to buy and sell (the latter action being especially vital if the market goes down).

Another cook in the kitchen
Over the last year or so, Julia has become quite the foodie. Food Network has replaced Disney Channel as her favorite thing to watch, and I have a feeling we will be shopping Williams-Sonoma instead of the Target toy aisle for her birthday. We're planning an Iron Chef birthday party in our church kitchen, where kids will be given some random ingredients to make into dessert.
Speaking of food, I'm getting to do something really fun AGAIN for an article I'm writing for this magazine. I get to go to this place and interview the owner today. Watch for the story in the November issue!
One more thing: for a pre-Halloween scare, go to my dad's blog and read his column about the haunted house he used to live in. And go here to read my old blog post about the same house.

When we go to work for you, our goal is nothing less than success!
We pride ourselves on providing our clients with high-quality legal advice and personal service. Our law firm is conveniently located in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles County.
Eric is a consummate professional when it comes to representing his clients. I work with and refer him cases all the time and I've always heard positive feedback. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone in need of a personal injury or workers compensation attorney to his office. They are organized, knowledgeable, and attentive to client needs. They are also efficient in prosecuting claims and effectively assertive with insurance companies and defense counsel, which results in obtaining top value settlements and verdicts.
Steven Sweat
Eric Levine was great and worked with me on a workers comp case and was patient with me while incarcerated for a criminal case and picked up right where we left off when I was paroled. Would recommend him to anyone!
Rudy Pichay
We had a case that is both simple and difficult. It's simple in nature but difficult to many attorneys who wouldn't take our case because we didn't have "strong" evidence. A friend who knew Eric for a long time recommended him to us. Olesia took over the case after. They do not contact with you very often. But if you email them, they will always reply in time and keep you posed if there's any updates. Most importantly the result turned out to be very good! My feeling is, they are professional and they are willing to take challenges.
Xiaoli Kong
The Levine firm is very professional. Eric has helped me and my friends on different types of injury cases. He is very responsive and cares about his clients.

Contact: Don & Liana Kingsbury
22 McKown St
Boothbay Harbor, ME 04538
Phone: 207-633-7387
Hours: Winter: Mon - Sat 10-5
Email: email@example.com
We are tucked away in a corner of Boothbay Harbor, away from the great restaurants and the mesmerizing waterfront and footbridge. We have a bench out front if you'd like to sit for a little bit and watch the cars and people go by. We certainly never tire of it.
In the summer, it can definitely be a challenge to get to that bench. But that makes it all the sweeter, doesn't it? If our little shop were easy to get to, we'd have a 10,000sqft store with a gigantic parking lot, efficient fluorescent lighting, and standard linoleum floors. We'd probably pack that 10,000sqft store with a bunch of overpriced junk from other countries that isn't good for your pet, you don't need, and that will fall apart in 40 seconds. You certainly don't want that.
As it is, we only have 500sqft (and that's stretching it). We need to make every square inch count. We have toys and beds made right here in the USA. We have treats and toys made right here in Maine. Our dog and cat food is almost all US & Canada-sourced and made. As one of our loyal local customers said, "You're too small to carry any junk."
Our goal is to show you something that you haven't seen before. And to make you laugh. Laughing and pets should be synonymous. If you're not laughing with your pet, why have one? We want you to come back to our little shop because you like the quality of our products and laughed with us. Not because you're looking to get the same-old, same-old.
And yes, we have big bags of food. Those are out back in the shed because we have no room in our little shop. So once you've found a -legal- parking spot in Boothbay Harbor to come see us (or called us with your credit card), come check us out for those big bags. Don will run that out to your car as you pull up on our corner. That's our solution to the lousy parking situation in Boothbay Harbor. We're open to ANY other creative, low cost ideas.
Well-behaved, neutered dogs on leashes are always welcome in our little shop.

It was a busy day dealing with media inquiries and preparing for my weekly politics luncheon with students and local residents. Today's lunch topic, not surprisingly, was the impact of yesterday's "game changing" Iowa caucus (which was anything but) on the presidential race. Perhaps not surprisingly to my regular readers, my takeaway regarding Iowa differs a bit from the dominant day-after media narrative. Here, in no particular order, are my immediate thoughts regarding what happened yesterday.
1. Guess what – the polls underestimated Ted Cruz' support! A lot of the media buzz today centers on the failure of polls to anticipate Cruz' victory over Donald Trump, and on their inability to foresee the late rise by Marco Rubio, which brought him within shouting distance of The Donald. But really – should we be surprised that the conservative Republican candidate over performed the Iowa polls? In 2008 and again in 2012, the pre-caucus polls underestimated the vote received by winners Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum, respectively. In retrospect, we probably should have anticipated that Cruz was likely to do better than the polls indicated. Hindsight is 20/20 of course but still….
2. Similarly, most pollsters understated the magnitude of Rubio's late surge. And because he beat media "expectations", he is being hailed today as one of the two "winners" from yesterday's event, along with Cruz. Many media talking heads say he now leads the "establishment lane" of Republican candidates, and is positioned to consolidate that vote in New Hampshire, which pundits now see as a three-person race between Trump, Rubio and Cruz. Count me as unpersuaded. If you attend their rallies, it is hard to group Rubio alongside Bush, Christie and Kasich as party establishment favorites. (That assumes we can agree on what constitutes the "establishment".) Rubio's views are actually quite conservative compared to the others, and he spends a good deal of time during campaign appearances talking about his fealty to Judeo-Christian values and pushing back against the separation of church and state. While that played well among a Republican electorate consisting of some 64% evangelicals in Iowa, I'm not so sure how it will be received in New Hampshire, particularly if a large chunk of the roughly 44% of unaffiliated New Hampshire voters decides to participate in the Republican primary. Keep in mind as well that Rubio is now going to have an even bigger bull's eye on his back during the next week.
3. Along with Rubio "winning", the other dominant media theme-du-jour was that Trump "lost" yesterday in Iowa. Again, that's not my read. I actually came away very impressed that someone on his third marriage, who mistook a communion plate for an offering plate, and who quoted from "Two Corinthians" was able to finish second in a race dominated by evangelical voters. According to exit polls, 45% of those voting yesterday in the Republican race were first-time caucus goers, and 30% of them went for Trump, compared to only 23% for Cruz and 22% for Rubio. So he was a big draw for political newcomers. It seems clear that Trump is here to stay, but that like all the candidates, he has certain strengths and weaknesses based on his own particular constituency of economic populists and secular conservatives. That's not a coalition that is easy to put together in Iowa, but it may resonant a bit more broadly in New Hampshire, and will certainly play well in future contests.
4. On a related note, it is customary for the media to attribute a candidate's victory to their superior ground game, even if there's no independent evidence to corroborate that claim beyond the vote totals. We see this happening again in Iowa, where the chattering class is unanimous in arguing that Cruz' victory shows he out-organized The Donald. But it is also the case that Cruz' supporters were probably more inclined to come out for him in any case, and that there were more of them to start with. Caucus states generally reward intensity of support, and yesterday's results were no different. For what it is worth, among the roughly one third of Iowa voters who reported some personal contact with a candidate's campaign organization, Trump finished second to Cruz. In short, Cruz may have been more organized, but I am reluctant to draw any more general conclusions based on the outcome of a caucus state regarding the relative efficacy of Trump's "air game" versus Cruz's "ground game." It may be that Trump's fly in-fly out big rally strategy will play better in the larger primary states, particularly on Super Tuesday.
5. On the Democrat's side, if I'm Bernie Sanders I have to be secretly disappointed that I only fought Clinton to a draw in a state tailored-made to reward a partisan candidate with intense supporters. In this regard, I think Clinton's post-Iowa "victory" speech, in which she acknowledged, "As I stand before you tonight, breathing a big sigh of relief – thank you Iowa!" was probably the most genuine statement she has made in years. Turnout among Democrats, while strong, did not come close to matching the 240,000 who participated in 2008 when Obama overcame Clinton's early polling lead to win the state. Entrance/exit polls indicate that Clinton easily bested Sanders, 58%-34% among the 9% of Iowa voters who were non-white, something that does not bode well for Sanders past New Hampshire. In short, so far at least, it does not appear that Sanders is recreating the Obama coalition. Keep in mind that exit polls from the Democrat caucus in 2008 show that Iowa was the whitest and most liberal state in the nominating process, with the exception of New Hampshire and Vermont. If Sanders cannot kill the Queen on such favorable terrain, it is hard to see how he will do so when the terrain grows more difficult for him. After yesterday, Hillary and her people have to be quietly confident going ahead. Of course, this isn't going to stop journalists from arguing that yesterday's results indicate that Hillary is in for a tough race.
6. Iowa, as I repeatedly reminded my students, is not a very good indicator, particularly among Republicans, of who will win the party nomination. What it does do, however, is help winnow the field. Two candidates – Martin O'Malley and Mike Huckabee – formally fell by the wayside yesterday. I expect Rick Santorum to join them shortly, unless he feels like he has enough money to stay in through South Carolina. (He's not bothering to campaign in New Hampshire.) Looking ahead, New Hampshire will likely prune the Republican field even more, with Carly Fiorina the next likely victim. I expect Carson to hold on through South Carolina. The key question, in my view, is whether any of the group of three – Bush, Christie or Kasich – is going to be able to emerge as the "establishment" alternative to Trump. This assumes, of course, that I am right that Rubio does not easily pass as the moderate alternative. For what it is worth, Trump beat Rubio among the 14% self-described moderates in Iowa, 34%-28%. History suggests that the social conservative candidate does not win the Republican nomination when confronted with a party united behind a more moderate Republican. Of course, it is not entirely clear that history is a very good guide to what we are seeing during the current election cycle!
7. A final thought: when does Bernie go negative and start talking about Hillary's emails?
Before I go, I want to pass on best wishes to regular politics luncheon contributor and strong Hillary backer Holly Burke, who is slated to graduate from Middlebury this weekend! I expect to see her working on someone's political campaign in the very near future. Congratulations Holly, and don't forget the little people (including professors) on your rise to the top!

Three Minute Round depicts the Klitschko brothers, Vitali and Wladimir, in the moments after defeating their rivals in separate championship boxing matches in Las Vegas and Berlin in 2008.
Sam Taylor-Johnson isolated the world-famous Ukrainian boxers, known for their brute strength, speed and athleticism, in their dressing rooms immediately after each fight. She asked them to sit idly while she videoed their still bodies for 3 minutes. The brothers breathe rhythmically and slowly, in an almost meditative state, and we see them away from their public persona as all-conquering fighters.
The vulnerability and humanity of the Klitschko brothers is allowed to come through in a way that echoes the depiction of another famous athlete by Taylor-Johnson, David Beckham.

Holiday Grief Tip #4: Give yourself permission to be alone and slip awayWhen we are in pain often times we just want to run away, not just form our pain but from all opportunities for further pain or a reminder of our pain. For self-preservation we can isolate ourselves and stay in a place that is safe where we can be vulnerable and cry. During the holidays are no different. Your grief will continue to be unpredictable and it may surprise you either by making you want to stay where you are or run away. Both of these are okay. It's ok to not be ok. You are the expert of your own experience. If you want to leave, that's ok. You can leave, give your healing self permission to go and stay where you feel most safe. ... See MoreSee Less

I love this little sprite's shoe mold. I found it in one of my favorite antique shops a few years ago. I've put off painting on it because it appears to be a hand crafted shoe form and I couldn't bear to cover up the tool marks on it. But, I realized I'm hiding it away and not using it so why not paint it so I will put it out on display. I so hope this sweet little piece will be a family heirloom.This is an Aly's Room original design, I tweaked it a bit so it would fit on this small piece.
As I painted this sweet little shoe form I must admit my mind drifted to the possible stories that might be attached to it. I wondered how many shoes had been crafted from this mold? What children had been the beneficiary of a pair of dress shoes or play shoes from its humble cravings? Had a dad sat up after his children went to bed and craved this piece and possibly stayed up other nights to design their shoes? Had the children perhaps watched and added their input to the way they wanted the shoes designed? I feel so fortunate to have found little small piece of history.
Till next time

This guy's job is so cool that he was among those called to help people recover after a natural disaster. Hurricane Irma devastated Florida and James L. Ozmar III, a native of Jarratt, is a graduate of the Southside Virginia Community College Power Line Worker Program who joined the long line of power and construction workers to help rebuild in that state.
A graduate of the second class of Power Line Workers held at SVCC, he began working for River City Construction a few months after his September 2016 graduation. The company provides power line construction and maintenance and is prepared to answer the call for post storm damage, according to their website.
Ozmar says, "All things considered, Florida was not as bad as everyone was expecting. It was like any other storm, just in a much hotter climate and on a larger scale."
His team was sent to Plant City, Florida which is located near Tampa towards the west coast of the state.
He said, "It felt great helping the people in Florida. Throwing that last cutout switch and hearing the whole neighborhood cheer is a feeling that just cannot be described."
About what he learned at the 11-week SVCC PLW program, he said, "The school taught me many skills but the most relevant would be my ability to work on hooks [climbing poles often hanging on hooks]."
He said there were times they faced several poles where the primary came off the insulator or when we needed to replace a jumper on poles inaccessible by bucket truck.
In these cases, "It is imperative to be able to work on hooks and do it with confidence, "Ozmar said.

Home Inspection
Chris is knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. His final report was thorough and detailed, while easy to understand and accessible. We appreciated his walk thru after the inspection prior to getting the report as well. We also appreciated how he reached out to us after we got the report if we had further questions, especially since there is so many going on while purchasing a home. We were impressed with his attention to detail from the beginning to the end. Would definitely recommend.
Was this review helpful?

Hi J, Hearing from satisfied clients like you really makes the work we do at Haystack Home Inspections worthwhile. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sincerely, Chris Thompson

The thought that most immediately comes to mind with the mention of the
Marquis de Sade is that of sex--not just any sex, but the kinkiest acts
of fornication imaginable. Yet Philip Kaufman's provocative account of
the infamous 19th Century French writer's final days is titled _Quills_,
and the reason is simple: this powerful version of Sade's story is one
ultimately not about sensationalistic salaciousness, but the power--and
price--of self-expression.
But sex--both the forced act of and graphic writing about it--is, after
all, what lands the Marquis in various forms of captivity: prison and,
ultimately, an asylum. It is in the latter, Charenton, where Sade
(played by Geoffrey Rush) is introduced, submitting his latest torrid
text to a publisher through unlikely supporter Madeleine (Kate Winslet),
a young laundress. Immediately upon publication, Sade's sexually
explicit _Justine_ is the talk of France, leading an outraged Napoleon to
send self-righteous Dr. Royer-Collard (Michael Caine) to Charenton and
give Sade the discipline he had not been receiving under Abbť Coulmier
(Joaquin Phoenix), the young priest in charge of the asylum.
The clashes and collisions that power _Quills_ don't necessarily derive
from differences in one's nature than differences in one's ideals. The
conflict between Royer-Collard and the Marquis is the film's most heated,
but they are two sides of the same proverbial coin. For all his talk
about morality, Royer-Collard is himself engaged in a scandalous
affair--that with Simone (Amelia Warner), his very young, almost
child-like bride; the hypocritical doctor shields what would otherwise be
a frowned-upon indulgence under an "upstanding" societal
convention--marriage--while Sade is shameless in expressing his darker,
deep-seated urges. The seemingly angelic Madeleine is, in fact, Sade's
closest match. She is quite comfortable with and honest about having
those base instincts, but she knows her place in her constricting world;
hence, she enjoys her natural naughtiness in the expanse of her mind,
whose limitless imagination is further fueled by possibilities presented
by Sade's incendiary prose. For the Abbť, his most-valued belief in a
divinity overpowers--barely--his simmering attraction to Madeleine.
The psychological conflicts, both internal and external, are lent
immediacy by the actors. Caine, in a much more impressive performance
than his Oscar-winning _Cider_House_Rules_ turn, is a subtly formidable
foil to Rush, who gives the Marquis genuine vulnerability as his veneers
are gradually stripped away. The complexities of Madeleine are handled
with characteristic ease by the ever-astonishing (and -ravishing)
Winslet, and Phoenix proves his versatility with his nuanced portrayal of
the anguished Abbť.
Given the subject matter, _Quills_ could have been unbearably heavy, but
Kaufman and writer Doug Wright (adapting his own play) infuse the film
with a decadent playfulness befitting a film about the Marquis--a spirit
that is perfectly embodied by the exuberant Rush. This quality does act
as reinforcement of the film's endorsement of uninhibited expression, but
to Kaufman and Wright's credit, they don't sidestep the negative fallout
that could occur along with the obvious benefits of artistic freedom.
Prices, both fair and unfair, are paid all around, and those costs
continue to be felt even after _Quills_ etches the disappointingly
contrived images of its lackluster epilogue.

Blowing 4 custumer's car should not be taken lightly, especially when the product was first released. I bet it was a great feeling to have the car in a shop for 4 months...sorry not 4, it was 5 months.
I say all this because you act as if the issue you had with G-Power was cool, your attitude comes off as "it's cool, I paid $15k for the S/C, it blew my motor within 2 months, it took G-Power 4 months to fix it, but G-Power is great either way, yay!!!!!" That shit was not cool at all nor Do I wish anybody to go through such headaches. Yet you wanna bash and make assumptions on other S/C companies, such as design and tunning. Ironic, isn't?
Anybody can develop a S/C? G-Power couldn't. And the fact that they supposedly fixed it does not okay the 4 blown customer cars.
Thats G-power's problem not mine. Besides I said any decent tuner never said G-power had a good one thats why they are changing their tuner. I'm not assuming shit its history all the other companies have blown motors at some point its part of the game just do your research maybe not an S65 but at some point they have blow something. At least G-power backed it up (eventually) alot of the customers that had problems with the other companies usually got a boot in the ass.Also I don't see where I bashed any other companies either so check your self.

The fact that you blew a motor with a supercharger installed on it from a "decent tuner" and you post comments like this make you look like an idiot, or you just have a very selective memory. Im sure you have more knowledge of how FI works on the E90 M3 then ESS does.
AA / VF have had thier cars running for a while I have no idea why they haven't released it yet but like I said they've blown their share of motors so maybe they're being extra cautious especially after hearing a tuner like G-power blowing them I would be too. I never said its easy to tune the car I said any decent tuner that means someone with adequate knowlege in these thing not some half brain building their first kit. And G-power fucked up thats their problem I don't work for them so I don't care if you have problems with G-power oh well alot of people have problems have ESS maybe you should talk to them and help them figure out their problems instead of talking to me about it.
Also if ESS is so great where are their figures? I'm not talking about Dynos I'm talking actual 1/4 mile & 60-130 data, something usefull all they have are dyno sheets and pics yet they brag about having a bunch of their cars running their kits all over the place for like months in the arizona heat blah blah well then post something worth talking about up
. I would have if my car kept working for sure but thats G-powers problem they gotta deal with that mess they created. Gintani has had their kit running on their development car but the owner is pretty busy and doesn't have alot of time to go to the track it was only 1 car up until last week when the 2nd one was done so expect their figures next week from Famoso. Is ESS gonna be there?? Any other FI companies ? Strokers ? I hope so, So we can see more then just pretty Dyno sheets.

What I'm looking forward to: Just meeting her already! And finding out at my appointment tomorrow if there's been any progress.
Emotions: Same old story. Had a breakdown the other night for no other reason than I just felt like crying. Seriously. That was it. I just felt like I needed/had to cry. So I did.
I can't believe she could be here at any time! I kept thinking she would be here before Thanksgiving, but now I'm not so sure.. but I wouldn't mind! And we finally went and toured the hospital last night, so that's checked off the list.
The countdown is on!

Moving to another state..thoughts on a gun safe.
So I am moving unexpectedly b/c of work. I have about 6 months but nonetheless I have to either:
(1) Move the safe with me: which carries a premium fee due to weight, not sure what happens if they drop it or damage it. May be unable to open it? The movers insuarance will not cover it sue to weight and bulk.
Also If my current house doesnt sell fast enough we will have to rent and I cant really see moving a safe into a renal house just to move it again.
(2) Sell it to an individual. I hate the idea of someone coming to my house to see my safe and knowing that there are unguarded things in the house. Seems like a prime thing criminals would key in on.
(3) Not sure if this is an option but I thought the company I bought it from might be willing to buy it back knowing im going to buy another one once we move.
(4) Sell it with the house. not a real good option for finances plus they may just not want it.
So I am wondering how other people have tackled this issue.
I appreciate it. Feel free to tell me I am overlooking something or whatever. Other than easy military moves where I pack up a few bags this is my first really big household move involving the sale of a house.

Your best bet is probably selling it locally, and then buying a new one when you get to where you're going.
Selling to an individual will get you the most money. We usually sell our used safes at about half the price of a new one. In order to make money, we have to be into it for half of that including the expense of moving it back to our shop.
For example, let's say you have a safe that cost $2,000 new. I would sell it for $1,000. I can only have $500 into it, so if it would cost $250 to move, I would only pay you $250. On the flip side, you could sell it for $1,000 yourself to an individual.

Quack, where are you PCS to and from? If to/from Pax River, come find me... ;-)
Sell the thing on Craigslist like all of the other impedimentia that never makes a PCS and buy a new one. They hold their value pretty well and the difference between "sell" and "buy" is your "cost to transport" if you will.
Other thought: Sell it on the bulletin board on base. Rod and Gun Club where you are? Trap and skeet range on base etc? Put up an ad and someone will buy it. Bulletin board at the local gun shop that seems to be at the gate of every base? Guys moving in and moving out always are looking for this stuff (sort of like the XO's car in the squadron... I think it's a 1972 Dodge Dart, It's stayed on base and the next XO has bought it from the old one for, oh.. about 30 years. What a POS, but it's a tradition).
There's got to be someone "in the next office" there who wants it. Base newspaper? Free classifieds there, and at least you'll have sort of pre-sorted possible buyers out of the populace at large.

text: Can Twitter Filters Put a Dent in Instagram? Site will add photo features soon, says New York Times By John Johnson, Newser Staff Posted Nov 3, 2012 9:01 AM CDT 2 comments Comments The New York Times says Twitter is adding Instagram-like features. (Twitter.com) (Newser) – In a matter of months, Twitter users will be able to use filters on the site to make their photos look pretty or old-timey or whatever, reports the Bits blog of the New York Times. Sound familiar? Right. The site wants to better compete with Instagram, and "it could prove to be an important part of the company's business," writes Nick Bilton. Some reaction: Daniel Terdiman, CNET: "This would potentially be a very big move for Twitter, because it could keep people taking photos on smartphones from using the Facebook-owned Instagram altogether." Casey Chan, Gizmodo: "It does seem like a 'too little, too late' move by Twitter but the act of sharing Instagram pictures on Twitter (which a lot of people do!) is a little awkward. If Twitter could bolster its Twitter photo service (which they should have done from the beginning), maybe people won't even have to sign up for Instagram." Drew Olanoff, TechCrunch: Eh, "adding filters does not cancel out Instagram whatsover." It's a "fantastic community" in and of itself, and plenty of its users have no interest in Twitter or Facebook. It's going to be fine. "Twitter is merely keeping up with the Joneses." (Read more Twitter stories.)

|Home > When Constant-time Source Yields Variable-time Binary: Exploiting Curve25519-donna Built with MSVC 2015
The elliptic curve Curve25519 has been presented as pro- tected against state-of-the-art timing attacks [2]. This paper shows that a timing attack is still achievable against a particular X25519 implemen- tation which follows the RFC 7748 requirements [11]. The attack allows the retrieval of the complete private key used in the ECDH protocol. This is achieved due to timing leakage during Montgomery ladder execu- tion and relies on a conditional branch in the Windows runtime library 2015. The attack can be applied remotely.

Candle Tea is considered by many area residents and visitors the opening event of the Advent and Christmas seasons. The Women's Fellowship of Home Moravian Church organizes and hosts Candle Tea to share with our guests the Moravian traditions and customs of the season.
These include singing carols accompanied by the 1798 Tannenberg organ, enjoying rich lovefeast coffee and Moravian sugarcake, watching as beeswax candles are made by hand, and viewing the Candle Tea putz. The putz, a traditional Christmas decoration for both early and modern Moravians, is displayed in two parts. The first part is a replica in miniature of the town of Salem more than a century ago. The second part presents the Nativity scene as the Christmas story is read from Scripture.
Candle Tea is held in the Single Brothers House on Salem Square in historic Old Salem early in the Advent season.
Proceeds benefit those in need locally and globally.
This video, which captures the spirit of Candle Tea, is narrated by Home Church Pastor Ginny Tobiassen and was produced by Home Church member Britton Sear.

Obama should not have won the Nobel Peace Prize. I generally like Obama, but he has not done anything to truly deserve the honor. We have scaled down in Iraq but we are still in Afghanistan and the expanding drone policy is far from the peace ideal that the medal strives for.
No, Obama was not the most deserving candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. The only thing that Obama has done is win election. There is no evidence that Obama's election to office has improved peace throughout the world. While his election is historic, he has not accomplished anything that warrants receiving such an historic and prestigious award.

Fashion Shoot Autumn/Winter 2011
Wow, what a day yesterday. Much juggling of dates to unite 7 busy women to coordinate this season's photoshoot which ended in the most amazing shots and a day full of fun and laughs. Last week I went over to the Abbey here in Lagrasse with Kate McLean, Graphic Designer/Photographer extraodinaire, to help me choose a location. We fell in love with the little cloister and monks dormitory and Perrine, the abbey guide, was immensely helpful in helping me get the necessary permission from the powers that be. Once the location was found my stress levels descended to 'manageable' and my brain shifted into organisational mode and everything fell into place. I was SO much more organised this time than for summer 2011 (my first real photoshoot). I had the wonderful Caroline Janzen-Quigley as dresser and chief assistant which freed me up to be out with the photographers Seren & Dawn Stoloff. Heidi Komarek-Freysinet was super model and make up artist, with the very talented Myriam Favorito doing hair. And not forgetting my two other models Fronza Woods, bringing a serene and regal look to the clothes and Joelle Chauvet-Smart, my daughter, whose youth and just 'being'-ness gave the clothes yet another personality.
The professional shots are for another time, but here are some of my snaps through the day.

Phase II Trial Using Erbitux+ Taxotere With Low Dose Fractionated Radiation for Recurrent Unresectable Locally Advanced Head and Neck Carcinoma
The investigator's approach is based on the following reasons:
- Low dose hyper-radiation sensitivity response will be significantly enhanced in
Taxotere- induced G2/M cell cycle arrest.
- LDFRT will render enhanced bax activation mediated mode of cell death.
- Erbitux will arrest the cells in G1/G0 phase leading to p21-mediated mode of cell
- The toxicity profile is expected to be minimal.
Based on the above mentioned reasons, we propose this novel schema of treatment in recurrent
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Overall Response Rate of Participants
The primary objective is to show improvement of the overall response rate from the current standard of 40% with chemotherapy alone, to 70% with the addition of LDFRT, in patients with recurrent unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This is my version of an airport-ready outfit. Well, sans the heels. Comfy cotton tank, comfy skinny jeans, comfy cover up and comfy accessories.
Tee-jeans combo + accessories that don't hurt when you move around are the perfect things to have on. I make sure my legs are covered up specifically, in case I need to bend over and fix something. To add a little spice, opt for a long cardigan or polo in a chic print as your cover up to keep you cozy on the plane. Make sure to have little or no metal on you, just so you don't have to go though frisking at the x-ray section!
Unless you're sure you won't be walking around much, I don't suggest you wear heels. It's good to keep you looking in tip top shape after a long haul flight- just make sure to pack a pair of flats for you to change into during the check in process.
WAGW long polo, Zara pants, Aldo shoes, SM Accessories necklace, Scrunch top, So Fab flats
hype this look on lookbook and chictopia!

The Santa Clara volleyball team will begin the 2009 season on the road; something it will need to get used during the fall. The Broncos will play 20 of their 29 regular season matches in road venues. Santa Clara will take on four teams who finished in the top 25 of last season's American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) end of the year poll. Hawaii (7) and UCLA (8) finished last season ranked in the top-10. Utah (16) and San Diego (19) also finished in the top-25. The Broncos finished last season ranked 25th nationally and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a first round upset of No. 13 Kansas State.
"I like our preseason schedule. We open up with a very tough road trip that should challenge this young squad," said head coach Jon Wallace.
The Broncos will open the season against UCLA at the Hawaii Invitational on Aug. 28. Santa Clara will face Hawaii on Aug. 29, and finish up against Western Michigan who made it to the Sweet 16 last season. The Broncos will travel to the Sacramento State Tournament, which begins Sept. 4. Santa Clara will take on UC Riverside, CSU Bakersfield and Sacramento State.
The Broncos will then host their first match of the season as part of the SCU Invitational on Sept. 10 against Arizona at 7 p.m. Santa Clara will also battle Utah on Sept. 12 before embarking on a season-long 10 game road trip. Both are perennial top 25 teams nationally. Arizona and Utah will play each other at 7 p.m. on Sept. 11 at the Leavey Center.
They will head down to play UC Santa Barbara on Sept. 16, and then will compete in the Cal Poly Tournament on Sept. 18-19. The Broncos travel across the country to the University of Pennsylvania Invitational from Sept. 25-26, where they will take on Albany, Penn, and Saint Francis (Pa).
"I believe going into conference we will be really tested and we will be able to find a good line up that we feel can compete to win the WCC," said Wallace.
The WCC had five teams make the NCAA Tournament in 2008, and the Broncos will open up WCC play on the road the next Friday and take on San Francisco at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2. After traveling to Saint Mary's and San Diego on Oct. 8 and 10, respectively, they will host their first conference match of the season. The Broncos take on Portland on Oct. 15, with first serve set for 7 p.m. Santa Clara will conclude the home stand against Gonzaga on Oct. 17. Santa Clara closes the first half of league play on the road at Loyola Marymount (Oct. 22) and Pepperdine (Oct. 24).
Santa Clara will finish up the season with five games at home and two games on the road. The Broncos will host San Francisco on Oct. 30, San Diego on Nov. 5 and Saint Mary's on Nov. 7. Two weeks later the Broncos will finish up the season against Loyola Marymount on Nov. 21 at 1 p.m.
The Broncos will tune in to the NCAA Selection show on Nov. 29 as they look for their 12th straight postseason bid. The NCAA Tournament First and Second Rounds will take place on Dec. 3-5, and the finally Final Four will take place in Tampa, Fla. on Dec. 17-19.

A lot of people are looking for different ways to get slimmer. juicing recipes for weight loss is one of the methods that is very popular right now. Usually shedding those extra pounds is a challenging process, but someone with passion and positive energy wishing to kick off with juicing to lose weight has come to the right place. To ensure that you remain healthy and live a fit lifestyle, juicing is one thing that you should consider incorporating into your daily routine. So many Americans and people the world over become obese because of consuming processed foods while eating very little fresh foods.
Juicing to lose weight is ideal because the raw foods and organic ingredients used in juicing will provide your body with vital nutrients without piling on unnecessary weight. Below are basic things you should know before you start juicing to lose weight, its benefits, and some recipes to help you get started.
Different Types Of Juicing To Lose Weight
First and foremost, you need to be aware of the vital equipment that you will be used for juicing. These types have their unique setbacks as well as benefits. In simple terms, there are only three types of juicers that everyone can choose from. They include the following:
Citrus Juicer
Citrus juicers have a reamer that squeezes juice from fruits. The main feature is easy to clean making it ideal for busy people. However, it only extracts little juice in comparison to the other two kinds of juicers.
Juice Extractor
Juice extractors, unlike citrus juicers, have blades that crush fruits when put inside into very small pieces. They are better than citrus juicers because they extract more amounts of juice. They can also be used to crush harder vegetables such as beets and carrots and the like. It is quite messy to clean it up after using it.
A blender is a very popular home appliance that purees vegetables and fruits into fiber forms or juice. According to the research on the main benefits of using a blender is that it produces juice that has a lower impact on the glycemic index apart from producing a finer texture juice. It is the most used by people who are juicing to lose weight.
Which One Do You Choose?
There are a number of appliances that you can use during the process. You just need to find the one that works for you best and stick to it. If you are planning to make juicing your strategy for weight loss, you need to understand you have to make it a lifestyle change. Depending on what you wish to achieve and your juicing taste, you will find different juicers that you can select from but do not let indecision prevent you from getting started. There is always a room to mix things up later during your juicing journey.
Apart from losing weight, benefits of juicing are numerous. It makes you feel full first of all. Secondly, it provides you with a lot of energy and stamina making you more active which is a key piece of the puzzle to every weight loss plan. When you are active you shed weight more quickly as you are burning stored fat for calories. Even the stubborn fat usually melts away faster when juicing is added to the general diet or when it is the greater component of a diet.
Juicing also helps in cleansing and detoxing of the blood especially when you are using vegetables such dark leafy vegetables and wheat-grass. The benefits of juicing from raw foods are so important that most medical facilities recommend it in their healing regimens. When you are dieting, cleansing and detoxing your blood, it helps your body by excreting toxic residue (waste from the bloodstream) as well as eliminating stored fat. This also helps to heal the liver which is the central point for fat processing and elimination.
Another important benefit of juicing is reshaping your body. When you add raw organic juice to your daily diet you become healthier and slimmer. When you have confidence in how you look and feel, it is a vital driving force that makes you feel fully empowered and accelerated to achieve your dietary goals. When your mood is elevated and you are encouraged, the juicing benefits continue to nourish your body health wise. For those who are dieters, it is what we refer to as a win-win situation.
Best Juicing Recipes For Weight Loss
For those who are kick-starting their juicing endeavors, the following are two recipes that you can us to get started. They are the most preferred and widely used across the world.
Lemon and watermelon juice
- One teaspoon mint leaves
- One lemon
- One cupful of watermelon (do not remove seeds)
Take the equipment that you are using, for instance, a blender, and add all the ingredients. Blend for a few minutes until you notice some red mash in the blender pitcher. Take crushed ice in a cup, add the juice and garnish it with mint leaves. This drink is a great source of water due to the high water content in watermelon, if you do not get enough water during the day this is the best option to choose. Drinking enough water is essential for burning stored fat.
Cucumber and tomato juice
- Half teaspoon sea salt
- A quarter teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Three to four drops of stevia (optional)
- One stalk celery
- Two cups diced cucumber
- Three and a half cups chopped tomatoes
- Two cups diced cucumber
- A half teaspoon ground black pepper
Put the cut vegetables in a juicer and process them until they are blended completely. Add cayenne, sea salt and black pepper. If you want the juice to be sweeter, add a few drops of stevia.
Conclusion & Recommendation
Now that you have the information to get you started, just simply get started juicing to lose weight! It is not a hard process to start off juicing even when you do not have a juicer. There are so many juice bars in cities where you can buy fresh juice every day. But if you want to make it for yourself, you can use the above recipes or find more online.
You can also try green superfood powders like Organifi (or others like this) where you just simply mix it with water and get a tremendous amount of healthy antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and more.

The first Waldorf school was founded in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany, by Rudolf Steiner, the visionary Austrian scientist, philosopher, artist, and educator. Today there are over 600 Waldorf schools in 40 countries, including 100 schools in North America. The schools are independent, each guided by its own teachers. They are linked with each other through common educational ideals and approaches.
Mountain Laurel Waldorf School was founded in 1983 by a group of parents seeking the best possible education for their children. The school began as a kindergarten, and over the years has grown to include an elementary (grades 1-8) program as well.
In the summer of 1995, the school bought its own home in New Paltz. It is located a short walk from the village center, with its shops and library, SUNY New Paltz, and the beautiful Wallkill River. Our building has large, light-filled classrooms, a performance area, and administrative offices. The school community has embraced the move and continues to renovate the building and grounds. This is an exciting period in the life of our school, and we look forward to healthy growth and development.
We invite you to learn more about us: we think that you will discover not only a fine school but a community of parents, teachers, and friends who share a love for learning and living.

National History Center 2006
The National History Center had an active year in 2006, and continued to bring historical perspectives to policymakers, to reach out to international scholars, and to examine history education policy. The center promoted its administrative officer, Miriam Hauss, to a full time position, and Wm. Roger Louis became its founding director. Its first independent audit showed that the center was financially solid. The center has raised more than $500,000 from individual donors and small foundations; it also received grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and David Rockefeller to support the preparation of an organizational plan for the Center's next five years of activities.
The Congressional Briefings program hosted four briefings for Congressional members and their staff. The topics included: the history of the Social Security Administration with historians Edward Berkowitz (George Washington Univ.) and Alice Kessler-Harris (Columbia Univ.); a history of education reform polices with Maris Vinovskis (Univ. of Michigan); a discussion of race and reconstruction with Eric Foner (Columbia Univ.) and John Hope Franklin (Duke Univ.); and a brief history of U.S.–Korean relations with Christine Kim (Georgetown Univ.).
In July, the first Seminar on Decolonization brought together 15 scholars to Washington, D.C. The scholars, along with five seminar leaders, discussed the history of decolonization in the twentieth century, with particular focus on Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. Participants used the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and other area resources to explore a particular aspects of decolonization for their seminar papers. The seminar was generously funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and will continue with a second seminar in July 2007.
The National History Center continued its examination of the current history education policy through a meeting and series of sessions at the 2007 AHA annual meeting. The project examines how students learn history; teacher certification, credentials, and professional development; assessment; and accreditation. The center seeks to insert historians' voices back into the debate over a history education policy and the sessions at the annual meeting explored the relationship between the historian, the policy maker, and history education policy.
The Reinterpreting History monograph series with Oxford University Press continues with new volumes taking shape on the Muslim World with John Voll (Georgetown Univ.) and the reassessment of Latin American war of revolutions with John Coatsworth (Harvard Univ.). These topics join the others, which include a perspective on Vietnam, the evolution of human rights, and the Atlantic World. The first volume in the series is anticipated in 2008.
The National History Center also expanded its Board of Trustees with the appointment of eight new members.

EASTON -- An outbreak of avian cholera that has killed hundreds of sea ducks in the Chesapeake Bay this week could destroy tens of thousands of birds before it runs its course, state waterfowl experts said yesterday.
The highly contagious disease is lethal to waterfowl, capable of killing them six to 12 hours after exposure, but it is not considered to be a high-risk malady for people.
Teams of state Department of Natural Resources workers are combing the Chesapeake shoreline to collect contaminated duck carcasses in hopes of slowing the spread of the disease to other migratory birds.
