Color Match:
You can't hide your inner light!
Based on your answers, you are medium skinned with warm undertones. Sunlit will likely be your perfect highlight shade. It is designed for beautiful medium skin tones with some redness and/or freckles. The best contour shade for you would be Stone, but know that contour shades are a lot more subject to personal preference.
Blush and illuminator shades are totally based on personal preference! If we were to recommend, we'd say Pearl or Honey illuminator and Nude, Desert Sunset, Frenchie, or Bare blush.

Become a Physician Examiner
The National Assessment Collaboration (NAC) Examination consists of a series of stations based on presentations of clinical scenarios. Each station includes a brief written statement which introduces a clinical problem and directs candidates to appropriately examine a standardized (simulated) patient (SP). In all stations, a Physician Examiner (PE) is present to observe and assess the patient-physician interaction.
Eligibility requirements to become a PE
At minimum, physicians must be senior residents (PGY-4 +) at the time of the exam; must have their LMCC and be practising medicine in Canada with recent experience supervising clerks and/or PGY1s and/or experience as an examiner at this level of training.
How it works
The NAC exam is offered twice/year in multiple cities across Canada. It is a one-day exam, which runs in March and September on multiple weekends. PEs may choose to participate on one or more exam days throughout the year.
PEs complete:
- a 30-minute online training program (prior to exam day);
- an orientation session on exam day to meet physician colleagues and further prepare for the day.
Benefits of becoming a PE
- Provide a valuable service to medical education and assessment in Canada
- Earn CPD credits and an honorarium (including a certificate indicating the educational activities accomplished throughout the examination process)
- Meet and interact with fellow physicians
- Gain a sense of accomplishment from this learning opportunity
- Have an opportunity to provide feedback on exam content.
Apply to be a PE
Please email email@example.com and indicate your city of residence and your preferred exam session (March or September) if you would like to become a physician examiner!

(Las Vegas, KXNT)-A 3-month old baby, who police say was abused at the hands of his father, has died.
Nellis Air Force Base Airman Andrew Leach was arrested after his son Aiden was taken to the hospital on February 2nd. The infant had been listed in critical condition since, but succumbed to his injuries on Monday. A doctor who treated the baby initially told investigators his injuries were consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
According to an arrest report, the infant was left in the sole care of his father on the day he sustained his injuries. Leach told authorities he dropped the infant boy in the tub while trying to bath him.
Leach also told police he suffered from a number of different problems including PTSD, anxiety, suicidal ideations, alcohol and chemical dependency and depression. Leach also said a week prior, he dropped Aiden while bathing him.
Leach was initially charged with child abuse with substantial bodily harm. The district attorney's office tells KXNT because the infant has died, this charge will now be amended.

I deeply believe it talks about 'us seeing the signs while we're in the skies either by airplanes or satellites. Signs like crop circles and maybe even this as well? I don't know. It's 3am and this is going to be a bad post so. I believe people should be open to the idea that the verse doesn't literally mean seeing skies 'in the sky'. Just some food for thought, although I may be wrong.edit on 8-2-2013 by TheProphetMark because: (no reason given)

Fire Prevention
Fire Prevention
The City of Tumwater's Fire Department is ready to protect and serve the community at a moment's notice, but fire prevention and education begins at home. According to the U.S. Fire Administration website, 2012-2014 reported an estimated 243,800 one-and two-family residential building fires were reported to fire departments within the United States each year. These fires caused an estimated 2,110 deaths, 7,950 injuries and 5.4 billion dollars in property loss. The majority of these deaths and injuries come from fires that start in the home. Safety and prevention can be achieved by taking the time to ensure that the following measures are considered.
Safety in your home
- Every home should have one working smoke alarm in every bedroom and one on every level. All alarms should be tested monthly, kept free of dust and batteries should be replaced at least once a year. Unit replacement should be considered after ten years of service, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Never overload circuits or extension cords. Do not place cords and wires under rugs, over nails or in high traffic areas. Immediately shut-off and unplug appliances that sputter, spark or emit an unusual smell. Have faulty appliances professionally repaired, or replaced.
- Sources of alternative heat must be monitored and used under only appropriate conditions. Portable heaters should be kept at least three feet away from anything combustible. Fireplaces should be fitted with fire screens, and chimneys should be cleaned annually to prevent creosote buildup that could ignite a fire. Gas powered heaters must always be used in only well ventilated areas, and should never be used inside the home unless specifically designated "Indoor Safe" by the manufacturer.
- Have an escape plan, and practice it with your family. There should an exit strategy from every room in the house in the event of an emergency. Be sure to select a location that is a safe distance away from the home where everyone can meet after clearing the house. For specialized training on how best to prepare you family, visit the Thurston County Emergency Management Map Your Neighborhood Program.

Independance Day Sequel In the Works
It's official. There will be an "Independence Day" sequel, and Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin are making it happen.
Devlin recently told THR in an interview, " I can tell you that Roland and I have been working together for the first time in 11 years and we're every excited about the idea of doing it. Whether or not we can make this happen, if we can get all the pieces to come together, that's gonna be challenging. But creatively, for the very first time since we did the original, I feel we have a worthy concept, a worthy path to go." He went on to say, We resisted doing the sequel for years because we still wanted to honor the first one. The first one gave us all careers and we really love that movie and loved the experience. We didn't want to make a movie because it was financially a good idea, we only wanted to do it when we had an idea and a concept that creatively felt like it honored the first one-that it felt like an organic sequel as opposed to 'let's just go make some more money. I feel like we got it. I think it took a long time, but I feel like we finally got something that really feels like, 'that's worth seeing as a sequel to Independence Day."
There's no word on whether or not Will Smith will return for the sequel, only that he has been contacted about it. Devlin also discussed how he would like to finish the "Stargate" story. "Stargate has always had this empty hole. When we made the first one, we always intended on doing part two and three, and we were prevented for years. And our hope is that we can get another chance at Stargate and tell the entire story we wanted to tell."

From Roseville, Minnesota, USA:
My 22 month old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about a month ago, and probably about half of the people we tell reply, "can't she outgrow that?" Do you know why so many people think this?
I think that the 'growing out of it' theme springs both from ignorance and from a general desire to appear both sympathetic and optimistic. At the moment, there is of course no growing out of type 1A (autoimmune), which I assume is what your daughter has, but I would be optimistic that within ten years, research will have developed surrogate insulin producing cells to overcome the lack of pancreas donors and with this greatly shortened and improved technics of permanent immunosuppression.
To some extent, 'growing out of it' could also be applied to type 1B or antibody-negative diabetes which is initially insulin dependent, but which can sometimes be managed after a few weeks or months with oral hypoglycemic agents or even with just diet and exercise. However, the condition is uncommon in Caucasian families.

Cormac McCarthy Wrote and Sold a Spec Script
There's potential for a Breaking Bad vibe.
Cormac McCarthy, a mainstay of dusky, brutal, sparse American fiction for almost 50 years, just sold his first spec script to Hollywood, where his name has notched a foothold since 2000's All the Pretty Horses and 2005's Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men. The new script is called The Counselor and was snapped up by the folks behind 2009's Viggo Mortensen-starring interpretation of McCarthy's Pulitzer-winning apocalypse tale The Road. Producer Nick Weschler says The Counselor "falls smack in the middle of what everyone responds to with Cormac's novels." The story revolves around a lawyer who hatches a shoddy plan to get into the drug game in the modern day Southwest — hello, Breaking Bad, sort of, hopefully!

Platelet Rich Plasmapheresis (PRP)
A LOT of people are being separated from a LOT of money on stem cells -a science that the experts ALL agree is in its infancy at BEST. NO, stem cells cannot live in a skin product AT ALL and even if given intravenously or injected-fresh and just born from a placenta with less damage and toxins than your stem cells may have (although over 100 carcinogenic toxins SADLY have DEFINITIVELY been isolated in fetuses in utero and breast milk in the last several years), are ONLY as viable as the environment they are placed into. Meaning, if stem cells are injected into a body or organ that is diseased and the CAUSE of the disease has NOT been eradicated so the disease NO LONGER exists in that body-then those stem cells are soon going to be diseased as well, and will die JUST as the damaged organ cells did . This is why stem cells are not the magic cure either. YOU HAVE TO TREAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM!
If you inject stem cells from YOUR fat (liposuctioned) or your bone marrow, then they are the SAME AGEand contain the SAME toxins/exposure/age related degradation of function as the rest of you does, because they have been exposed to the same blood, toxins, acidity, etc. That is why stem cells live about a year – so far – then they succumb to the same disease and aging issues. Obtaining stem cells from these places in your body is not easy, painless nor inexpensive. ALSO–while obtaining them, the very delicate stem cells have been manipulated/damaged so their viability is unknown and nothing then stimulates them when transplanted to get to work-IF they remain alive.
That is why I don't do those procedures. INSTEAD FIRST I make you and your skin healthier and more youthful, including your stem cells and growth factors then I do Platelet Rich Plasmapheresis whereby I take YOUR GROWTH FACTORS that live in YOUR body, concentrate, personify their action and inject them ONTO YOUR restored stem cells (under the skin) and stimulate them MAXIMALLY to work MOST youthfully and healthily. In return your skin and hair (and hair follicles) at ALL LAYERS including the subcutaneous fat visibly become volumized, truly more beautiful, lifted, tightened, decreased abnormal pigment and redness and indisputably younger.
NOW is it magic? NO there IS NO MAGIC, but it is a VERY IMPORTANT piece of the rejuvenation/restoration puzzle and if you can afford it, it IS worth it as it DOES slow down, and turn back the clock significantly. If you can do immediately AFTER one strong Fractora treatment, it makes Fractora work about 40-50% better. If you do PRP at any point then do anything including skin products and peels-they all work MUCH better. Takes about 1 month to see results and the results continue in my experience about 1-1 1/2 year. After that your stem cells are trying to retire again but doing skin products, internals, peels and FIRMING laser, as well as filler continue to stimulate them.
I am a FAN of PRP and I OBJECTIVELY evaluate my and others results. There is the PRP facelift which I do, where a tiny amount is injected with filler for optimizing filler results and prevention. I inject a lot more ideally for restoration and rejuvenation because more IS better, then filler later IF you need it and PRP is excellent for the entire body. Also – THE BEST TREATMENT FOR HANDS for anti-aging that I have seen! I do this a lot for faces, necks, eyelids, lips, hands for volumizing, lifting, tightening, abnormal pigment and redness resolution, decreasing pores and scarring, for hair restoration and regrowth and it is well known to make great inroads in restoring aspects of libido and sexual pleasure.

We have a Freelander 2 HSE and for the perfect finish you have to pick a nice day but not too warm (ideally no sunshine - which is fine in Yorkshire!)
I started with a clean water pressure wash and then using the two bucket method (One soapy autoglym and one clean water) started working from the roof down - microfibre towel dry then applied the high definition wax in a left to right/up down motion (not circular to avaoid swirls), buff off to give a really rich deep shine, finishing off with the tyre dressing to complete the job - about 4 hours in all - good result.

Yields 8 servings
- 1/2 ounce dried porcini mushrooms (1/2 cup)
- 6 and a 1/2 cups vegetable stock
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, minced
- 1/2 pound crimini and shiitake mixed mushrooms, stems trimmed and caps cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 2 cups Arborio rice (14 ounces)
- 1 and a 1/2 cups dry white wine
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 11. Sea Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Soak the dried porcini mushrooms in tepid water (just enough to cover them completely) until softened, about 20 minutes. Rub the mushrooms in the water to remove any grit, then lift them out of the soaking liquid and coarsely chop. Save the mushroom soaking liquid.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Cover and keep the stock at a low simmer. In a large saucepan melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the olive oil. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they are softened, about 4 minutes. Add the rice to the pan and cook, stirring, until coated, about 1 minute.
- Add the white wine to the rice and simmer until it has almost evaporated. Add the chopped porcini mushrooms and the saved mushroom soaking liquid, stopping before you reach the grit at the bottom. Add enough hot stock to just cover the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the stock has been absorbed. Add more stock. Continue cooking and stirring, adding more stock as it is absorbed, until the rice is just tender and a creamy sauce forms, about 20 minutes.
- Remove the risotto from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Season the risotto with salt and pepper and ladle it into shallow bowls.

Historians to study Siemens development over three decades
Munich, Germany
Siemens AG is commissioning an independent academic study of the companys development from 1981 to 2011. The project is to be undertaken by the economic and company historian Hartmut Berghoff and the contemporary historian Cornelia Rauh. Both are being given unrestricted access to the company archives and they will be interviewing contemporary witnesses as well as researching documents. The results are expected to be published in 2014.
There are already a number of publications dealing with Siemens history, but the most recent contemporary history has not as yet been examined in detail. The most recent major publication, realized by the companys historian Wilfried Feldenkirchen is from 1997. However, it is precisely in the last 30 years that the economic and political conditions under which the company has been operating have undergone rapid transformation through globalization and technological progress, and the period culminated in the companys reorientation at the end of the last decade (2008).
Prof. Hartmut Berghoff has been head of the German Historical Institute in Washington D.C., U.S. since 2008, and teaches economic and social history at the University of Göttingen. He has held guest professorships at the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin, at the Otto Beisheim School of Management (WHU) Koblenz, at the Maison des Sciences de lHomme in Paris and at the Harvard Business School. His research fields include the history of business, consumption and globalization. Hartmut Berghoff has won various awards including the ABB-Wissenschaftspreis and the Newcomen Harvard Article Award. He is the author or editor of 14 reference books, including the textbook Moderne Unternehmensgeschichte (2004). In 2010 he was a contributor and consultant for a publication on the history of the Bertelsmann publishing house: 175 Jahre Bertelsmann Eine Zukunftsgeschichte.
Prof. Cornelia Rauh has been professor of German and European contemporary history at Leibniz University in Hanover since 2005. Prior to this she worked at Tübingen University and was a fellow at Princeton University, N. J., U.S. One of her main areas of research is business history. She has written several biographies of entrepreneurs and a series of books and numerous essays on German contemporary history. She won an award from the Association for Business History for her habilitation thesis Aluminium für Hitlers Krieg about a multinational Swiss company before and during World War Two.
Siemens AG (Berlin and Munich) is a global powerhouse in electronics and electrical engineering, operating in the fields of industry, energy and healthcare as well as providing infrastructure solutions, primarily for cities and metropolitan areas. For over 165 years, Siemens has stood for technological excellence, innovation, quality, reliability and internationality. The company is the worlds largest provider of environmental technologies. Around 40 percent of its total revenue stems from green products and solutions. In fiscal 2012, which ended on September 30, 2012, revenue from continuing operations totaled 78.3 billion and income from continuing operations 5.2 billion. At the end of September 2012, Siemens had around 370,000 employees worldwide on the basis of continuing operations. Further information is available on the Internet at: http://www.siemens.com.

Larry is in his seventies but his eyes are young.
He had a major hand in creating the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway, a thriving tourist destination for Athens County and his energy seems to be endless. He'll never acknowledge his age with words or by his actions and I find this amazing and inspiring.
We've just wrapped up a meeting and now we're saying our good byes in the doorway to the Athens County Visitors Bureau. The Bureau is my refuge and my savior. My home town, I feel, is cradling me – rocking me back to health and in turn I am enlightening thousands of tourists to pay us a visit.
Larry is lingering.
"So have you found a nice guy yet?" he asks.
Every time I meet a WWII vet like Larry I immediately conjure up images of men like Gregory Peck and Spencer Tracy on battle lines or at fancy dinner tables puffing on cigarettes, he is no exception.
"No, not yet. There aren't any around or something, or maybe I just don't know where to look or maybe I'm not ready," my voice cracks a bit.
The tears have been coming easily lately.
It's been nine months of single motherhood and I have yet to see a glimmer of hope, even though I've been dating not one man has shown promise of being something.
I want to hear words of wisdom from Larry, so I stop, look down at my shuffling feet and then I listen.
"Don't you worry, Beautiful. One of these days a man is going to find you and he's going to sweep you off your feet. You won't even know what hit ya."
"Really? A man can do that? I'm not sure if that's possible," I'm looking up at him now wondering how I must appear, as a damsel in distress with the flowered skirt to match.
But even though I look the damsel, someone who could potentially be swept up into a romantic whirlwind, I am a single mother. I have a one-year-old at home who I can't stop thinking about, not even if I try. Can a man ever really understand that or fit into my life?
The reality of it all smacks into me like a wave and I start shaking my head before he can even answer.
"No, Larry, it's not possible… not unless he can change diapers and be woken up in the middle of the night – every night."
"Oh it is, sweet heart – trust me on this one, it definitely is. Just you wait."
Larry was right. I just had to be patient and stop looking.
The Bear leaves me at the bar for a second to use the bathroom.
I trace my fingers across the rim of the glass holding my beer. The men across the bar are there, starring. I can see them but they are just a blur, a wash of people.
Typically I would meet their eyes if even for a fleeting moment just to see if I could catch that spark, that thing I had been dreaming of for so many years, that feeling I had yet to experience. But now, I keep my eyes down and a slight smile creeps across my face and then it grows wider.
I can't contain it anymore, not even in a bar filled with men.
I'm being swept.
He's completely endearing, fascinatingly intelligent, funny as hell and totally adorable. He also has drive, passion and a humor for life. He's all of these things but there's something else… he cares.
Suddenly an entirely new feeling slips over me.
It's the feeling of having a warm blanket wrapped around your shoulders, the feeling of being absolutely satisfied, filled up, rested, cared for, loved… whatever it is, I like it and I sink into my bar stool and just exhale. And then he's there, his arm wraps around my shoulder and he says, "you okay?"
"Definitely," I smile.
"Oh, I know that look," he says, "that's a look I like."
After a few more Raspberry Wheats, the Bear and I find ourselves in the center of the small but empty dance floor. He wraps his arms around my waist and we start swaying to the blue grass music floating in the air. Then he leans in and kisses my neck, then my cheek and then my lips.
"Stop," I say, "what about all of the others, I feel bad – they don't have this – and I don't want to be that couple."
"Screw them," he says, "it's our turn now. It's our turn to be happy."
Potential, people, this Bear fellow has potential. <pinch pinch>
Back up reading:
- Want a man? Stop looking for one.
- How did the Bear get his name? You'd have to ask the Lion and the Tiger.
- How we met.
- Our first date.
- A video of the Bear.

Stand ten feet away from the Hyundai Verna, squint slightly, and bingo, it looks like a distant cousin of the Maserati Quattroporte. Okay, okay, before you ridicule me, let me change that to Fiat Punto. Seriously, a bit of a snout-stretch would have added a great degree of character to this machine. To be fair on the car, the Verna looks much better in metal and plastic than in pixels. And a close look would tell you why Hyundai took that seemingly retro decision to sell both the Accent and the Verna side by side.
To begin with, it is longer, wider and taller enough to transport it to another segment altogether. Taller is the operative word here, since it means brand new cabin architecture that makes getting in and out easier while providing a more commanding driving position. Brilliant. It was so good that I couldn't help but compare it with the ergonomics of the Toyota Corolla while I was driving it. Therein lies the clincher – there are no diesel Corollas or Civics yet. Ditto Optras. That means the only serious competition for this machine comes from the Skoda Octavia TDi, and that costs a whopping Rs 3 lakh more. Ford Fiesta TDCi? Well, it looks like the good old Accent CRDi can take on the all-conquering Ford since this one seems to have a much more potent heart. Yes, the powertrain – that is where the real action is when it comes to the new Hyundai Verna CRDi.
On the flank of the CRDi Verna, there is a little badge with three alphabets – VGT, short for variable geometry turbo. Now, one way to tell you that VGT makes immense sense is to give you a complete lecture on how it works. Please allow me to take the easy way out and tell you that Porsche uses a variable geometry turbocharger for their 911 Turbo. Now you get the point, right? Essentially, turbochargers are driven by exhaust gases and a variable geometry turbocharger ensures that power delivery is smooth through the rev range by demanding less exhaust gases to turn the turbine vanes at slower speeds. This eliminates the biggest worry of automotive engineers since the advent of the turbocharger itself – the dreaded turbo lag. A smoother and more linear power output is the result, and that coupled with the traits of a common rail direct injection diesel unit, makes the engine almost comparable to petrol engines with similar displacement. In the case of the Verna, the 1493cc diesel is more powerful at 110 bhp and much torquier at 24 kgm, compared to the 103 bhp and 14.9 kgm developed by a bigger 1599cc gasoline engine. And mind you, all that torque is available between 1900 and 2750 rpm, which makes it extremely driveable in day-to-day life. Instant feedback from the VGT came when I decided to drop some colleagues at a suburban railway station. The place was crowded and I am certain that there were people crawling over the Verna's bonnet trying to cross the road. Classic situation to test the driveability of a diesel? You bet. The Verna inched along with the tachometer riding a shade below the 1000 rpm mark and there was no engine knocking or similar maladies associated with traditional turbocharged diesels.
On more open roads and at respectable speeds, the car does not really feel like a diesel. You know that lumpy feeling associated with front wheel drive diesels, right? Floor the pedal and the Verna lifts its nose and pulls away cleanly. Sure, it does not rev its heart out like a petrol and you do have to stick to a narrower powerband as compared to a petrol powered car. Thankfully the gearing is spot on and that means you sink your teeth into the meaty spread of torque and stay there till you run out of gears (for which you will need a runwayequivalent of a road).
The numbers look good too. How does a sub-5 second 60 kph run sound to you? Actually the car stopped the clock at 4.8 seconds over repeated attempts. The gearshift is extremely positive too (the best Hyundai 'box we have ever tried this side of the new Sonata?) and you can find third gear in sufficient enough time to touch 100 kph (10.7 seconds). A slouch of a Volvo FH12 driver to contend with? Well, the Verna just takes a deep breath and manages a 80-120 kph pass in barely 7.6 seconds – better than what many a petrol car can manage. One area where a petrol powerpack still takes the pants off a diesel, any diesel, is in the area of refinement. And direct injection diesels, generically speaking, are noisy to begin with. Bigger explosions inside the chamber are good for complete combustion and hence better fuel efficiency as well as power – but hey, a series of bigger explosions make quite a racket too. Things get better as the engine warms up and you don't notice the drone in higher gears.
On the dynamics front, the biggest difference between the petrol and diesel Verna lies in the steering. The diesel feels heavier (naturally) and I cannot understand why Hyundai has not calibrated it differently. Heavier steering feel also means distinctly less feedback and that is not a good thing when your steered wheels are fed with copious amounts of torque. The overall result is a car that needs concentration from the driver – especially while powering down ghat roads since you will be dealing with torque steer which promotes severe understeer in front-wheel driven diesels.
In the handling department, Hyundai have outdone themselves and prove that they are quite good at producing inert cars. Perfectly understandable going by the buyer profile of the Verna. Ride quality on bad road surfaces felt surprisingly good for a Hyundai, but only a longer stint with the car will tell us whether it will work over a period of time.
In short, this is a diesel that can be fun to drive and one that can stretch a litre to 15 kpl on a regular basis (21 kpl on highways). Hyundai offers ABS as an option and it is, of course, worth every penny. What the Verna is not is extreme value for money. As said before, Hyundai has positioned its diesel a notch above the Fiesta diesel and a few notches below the oil-burning Octavia, and ahem, has stated that the Rs 7,72,000 (ex-showroom Mumbai) price tag is an introductory offer. We recommend a buy, but would have been pushing even more for its cause if Hyundai had offered ABS and airbags as standard equipment. As for a Maserati snout, we may have to wait for the facelift to happen.

Ciudad Evita (Evita City) is a city in partido La Matanza, within the Greater Buenos Aires metro area. It currently[year needed] has about 70,000 inhabitants, and is situated about 20 kilometers (13 mi) from Downtown Buenos Aires and 6 kilometers (4 mi) from Ministro Pistarini International Airport. The city has been declared a National Historic Monument of Argentina.[1]
The city owes its name to the Eva Perón Foundation, which developed the initial settlement. Established in 1947 by Argentine President Juan Perón, his Decree No. 33221 stipulated that this new suburb of Buenos Aires be named after the namesake of the foundation, his wife Eva ('Evita') Duarte de Perón. The city, whose original 15,000 homes were designed in a simplified Spanish Colonial Revival style favored during the Perón era, featured a layout purposely[citation needed] built in the shape of Eva's profile, which seemingly waved to airline passengers from the nearby airport.[2] This overt homage to the influential first lady prompted the city's renaming as Ciudad General Belgrano following the military coup that deposed Perón in 1955.
Despite these changes, the town, which was administered by the National Mortgage Bank following the coup, continued to grow, incorporating the Barrio Vemme ward between 1960 and 1967. It was transferred to La Matanza Council in 1963, and upon the return of Peronists to power in 1973, it regained its Ciudad Evita designation. A second addition, Barrio Alas, was opened in 1974 for Argentine Air Force officers stationed at the Morón Air Base.
The March 1976 coup again led to a change of name for the town, to Ciudad General Martín Miguel de Güemes, until the return of democracy in 1983. The city was chosen that year as the site of the Buenos Aires Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), dedicated in 1986.
Ciudad Evita was declared a National Historical Monument in 1997.

The website of McDonald's Australia is using Drupal. I'm lovin' it!
McDonald's using Drupal
Having never seen a McDonald's outside of USA and parts of Europe, I recently visited Australia and found the McDonald's there very interesting. "McCafe", an elite hamburger cafe! I even thought about eating there in the airport (but didn't)!
McDonald's is master at continuing to rebrand and reinvent themselves.
It is great to hear about more big names using Drupal, but this particular site design isn't so stunning. It's a typical brochure, heavy on graphics and low on text, interactivity or accessible navigation.
They could have done this much without Drupal, and far more than this with Drupal. ;)
The design of this web site, different from other sites created by Drupal. Good work.
Actually, they have those McCafes in Europe as well. My impression is, that they're mainly mushrooming around the motorways.
That McDonalds site is simply awful.
Had a little poke around the website source code. It's a shame they haven't used any CSS/JS aggregation and minification.
Also, putting scripts below body content is a good idea too.
Otherwise, very flashy (sorry...) site.
I agree with Arancaytar, why they use Drupal? It's just a simple website with beautiful design. They didn't use half of Drupal features ...
Quick (No. 1 in fast food in Belgium and Luxembourg and No. 2 in France) also switched to Drupal: http://group.quick.be

|I was wondering if there is a cross reference part number for the rotor in the distributor on the mk 2. Mine is cracked and I have extra caps etc. Does this distributor fit any other vehicle. If not I guess it's Delta time.

|I have used the rotor for a 1974 mgb. I believer they used the same distributor in them.

|Most JHs used a Lucas model 25D4 distributor, which was also used in many other British 4-cylinder cars. Consequently, the rotor for the JH is the same as that used in the MGB, AH Sprite, MG Midget, original Mini, and many others. The current Lucas part number for the conventional rotor is DRB-101, and DRB-108 for the rev-limiting one (3500 distributor rpm or 7000 engine rpm).
If you don't have a local source for British car parts, you can call Delta, see if the JHPS Club Store has them listed yet, or check with Moss Motors (their P/N 151-710 is for the Lucas rotor, which I recommend, while P/N 151-800 is for an aftermarket part).
Rotors aren't very expensive so you may wish to purchase two, so that you'll have a spare at hand should you need to do troubleshooting at some future date.

|Autozone shows them in stock for $2.99. I have extra caps, etc. I hate to mail order and wait. The old one broke in two at the drive end after the rotor hit an electrode and stopped. The car stopped real quick!! This tends to make me believe that I may have a rotor shaft getting loose, or more end play issues as I am fond of pointing out. I'm going to bevel the front edge of the new rotor so that it may glance off any electrode it gets too close to. Might work, might not . The spare rotor is a capital idea as I could have installed a replacement and driven home. As it was it cost me a fish sandwich and a few beers for a buddy to tow me back home. Still a spare would have been quicker.
4/20 update. $3.18 at Autozone. In and up working well

After months of being out of the spotlight, Wendy Davis is back.
The former Democratic gubernatorial candidate, known nationwide for her 2013 filibuster against new abortion restrictions, is sparking speculation and garnering media attention as she alludes to a new initiative to promote gender equality that she hopes to soon unveil.
Davis told the Star-Telegram Tuesday that she's not ready to detail her initiative, because it's still in the planning stages, but she has said she hopes to bring more women's voices into the political discussion.
"I hope to garner a cohesive force of women who can advance gender equality in a myriad of ways … and pull together women from all walks of life, all generations, all races, to use our power at the ballot box and elsewhere to drive change," the former Fort Worth state senator told the Odessa American this week.
"There are too many women right now who are staying out of the conversation, and if we joined it collectively, we could drive the conversation," said Davis, who lost her bid to become Texas' 48th governor to Republican Greg Abbott.
Former Tarrant County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Maxwell said Davis' initiative is still evolving.
But he believes it could include efforts to both develop more female leaders nationwide — and fight for women's issues such as access to healthcare, reproductive rights and equal pay.
"I think it's particularly timely given Hillary Clinton's campaign where clearly women's rights will be a key issue," he said.
Critics say Davis is the wrong person to lead such an effort.
"Wendy Davis made a huge mistake in going out on the forefront of abortion," said Cathie Adams, president of the conservative Texas Eagle Forum and former chair of the Republican Party of Texas. "Then she tried to capitalize on that, even running for governor in the greatest state in the country.
"Now it's laughable to me that she thinks she can lead on anything and be heard, … since she has destroyed any respectable image people have of her."
Davis, a former Fort Worth city councilwoman, served in the Texas Senate from 2009-2015.
There was a phenomenal reaction to her 2013 filibuster, against tighter abortion restrictions in Texas.
Throngs of Texans showed up at the Capitol — so many that they couldn't all fit into the pink granite building and spilled out onto the lawn — and countless more tuned in on YouTube, live streams and social media.
Without taking a break to eat, drink or go to the restroom, Davis spoke for more than 11 hours on June 25 against a bill geared to tighten restrictions on abortion in Texas.
Davis and her fellow Democrats prevailed that night after a so-called people's filibuster — people in the gallery yelled, screamed and made so much noise that senators couldn't hear one another — prevented the Senate from passing the proposal.
Opponents of the bill lost a few weeks later, after the Republican-led Legislature was called back for another special session and quickly approved the measure.
'The right stuff'
Davis ran a high profile gubernatorial campaign against Abbott, ultimately losing by more than 20 percentage points, or nearly 1 million votes, after months of media scrutiny on issues ranging from errors in her biography to campaign mismanagement.
Despite her gubernatorial loss, Davis remains a national political figure, said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
That should give her the clout to promote an effort such as her gender equality initiative.
"When I travel nationally, people know who Wendy Davis is and they want to talk about her," he said. "Her filibuster did resonate with people. … She will try to capitalize on that."
Former City Councilwoman Becky Haskin said she understands Davis' initiative is to get women more involved.
"She is the ideal person for this," she said. "She's got the right stuff.
"We haven't heard the last of her and she'll be doing great things for years."
'We will be heard'
Davis spoke about gender politics at Princeton University earlier this year when she gave her first speech since losing the gubernatorial race.
She touched on her life story — growing up with a single mother, becoming a teenage mom herself, struggling to pay bills and keep the electricity on — and how she was determined to succeed.
She said she was fortunate to have childcare, transportation, flexible work hours and access to an affordable community college education that put her on the path to ultimately gaining a law degree from Harvard University.
"There are so many women today who cannot tell the same story," Davis told the crowd in February.
She said that's because women now don't have as many ladders to help them out of the "well of poverty" because of changing public policies.
"We find ourselves fighting old fights and in many instances losing ground. But why?" she asked. "Because women's reproductive rights and other issues important to women's equality have been hijacked by a far right agenda using those issues as a wedge, a means to an end."
She said the country needs to unite behind women's choices and women's rights — and women's equality.
"Let's stand together and testify for each other for our shared ideals," she said. "And when we do, we will be heard."

Attentive faculty absorb talk about copyright
Indiana University Distinguished Professor of Law Fred H. Cate was a guest of the School of Communications and General Studies program this week. Cate spoke to two General Studies seminars and gave two talks on copyright.
Cate met with production faculty and talked about legal issues pertaining to film and video production.
He also conducted a faculty and staff session about copyright in the classroom. Cate emphasized how educational "fair use" is just as strong a concept as infringement. Cate talked about balancing these two interests and answered faculty questions ranging from posting readings on Blackboard to the use of copyrighted material in student-produced promotional videos for a non-profit organization to the use of artwork and music in lectures and student projects.
This was Cate's fourth visit to Elon. In January 2004, he and his wife Beth each taught winter term courses at Elon.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sanday, a Fox Business stocks editor is pushing back on the notion that the super storm could have been caused by man-made climate change and suggests that it could have been related to "solar flares" or "Mars wobbles."
Fox Business host Stuart Varney, who is known for featuring segments to deny the existence of global warming, on Wednesday lashed out at Democrats like New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Rep. Henry Waxman for "already blaming it on climate change."
"Oxford University, places like the St. Petersburg Atmospheric Observatory, they all say there's climate change," stocks editor Elizabeth MacDonald told Varney. "But the problem is, is that there's no consensus on what's causing it."
"Is it solar flares? Is it the Mars wobbles? Is it the Earth's axis tilting in a different way?" she suggested, ignoring that most climate scientists point to man-made causes like fossil fuels.
Varney, however, doubted there was even a pattern of "more extreme weather events," pointing out that there were also powerful hurricanes in the 1950s.
"There's no doubt that we go through these cycles," Fox Business contributor Charles Payne agreed.
University of Hawaii astronomer Norbert Schörghofer in 2007 theorized that "wobbles" in the tilt of Mars resulted in ice ages that were far more drastic than those seen on Earth.
But Oxford University planetary physicist Colin Wilson explained to National Geographic that it was not reasonable to apply this theory to Earth's climate change.
"Wobbles in the orbit of Mars are the main cause of its climate change in the current era," Wilson said. "Mars has no [large] moon, which makes its wobbles much larger, and hence the swings in climate are greater too."
The theory also ignores the massive amount of scientific data that links carbon dioxide being pumped into the atmosphere by humans as the most likely cause of climate change.
During the past few days, two Fox News hosts and one regular guest have all repeatedly said that Hurricane Sandy "has nothing to do with global warming."

Welcome and thank you for visiting my campaign website.
This contest is, in my opinion, the most consequential local race we've had in almost 15 years. The results of this election will determine (1) the nature of the relationship--meaning the level of transparency--between the Board and the rateplayers and (2) whether or not we step up and start a REAL process to modernize our water delivery system (or leave that task solely to our children and grandchildren).
In other words, this is a clear contest between Reform and the Status Quo.
You, the voter, face a very clear choice. My campaign advocates the urgent need for balanced and deliberate reform across a range of issues--transparency, modernization, sustainability, the campus project and how we respond to reports like the one from the Grand Jury.
On the other hand, there is the "slate". The "slate" represents the Status Quo, consisting of one incumbent and two other candidates whom I refer to as "virtual incumbents" since, by joining with the incumbent on the slate, they must support the incumbent's record and positions on the issues 100%--meaning they are behaving as if they are incumbents.
While contemplating which way to vote, please consider this: "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got". I believe that if where we are today is the best that the status quo can offer, then the people of the San Lorenzo Valley deserve better. I will be the Director that our community deserves to have.
There are 6 candidates running for 3 Board positions. Therefore, the candidates that win this election are in an excellent position to bring about the measured and deliberate change that so many people I've spoken to want to see--which are reflected in the issues below. Please click on any issue to read more.
