SATA 3 6Gbs Western Digital 1TB hard drive not detected AT ALL
Hard Drive:
Amazon.com: Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Internal Desktop Hard Drive Bulk/OEM - WD1002FAEX: Electronics
Newegg.com - ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
I correctly connected the Hard Drive to SATA3_1, my second hard drive being a Seagate 360GB connected to SATA3_2, and my CD Drive being connected to SATA3_3. SATA3_4 and SATA3_5 have nothing connected to them.
I've tried connecting the Hard Drive to SATA3_5 and it didn't change a thing.
Places I've checked:
BIOS - Checked the boot section for any hard drives and even Storage Configuration. Nothing.
Windows 8 installation menu - It doesn't show up there, only my hard drive and the other partition.
Windows 7 Computer Menu, doesn't show up there. Here's a screenshot.
Windows 7 Disk Management, It doesn't show up there. Here's a screenshot.
I even checked Device Manager, not sure what good this will do you guys.

Maybe I have to change the SATA mode? It's in IDE mode right now. I can change it to RAID/AHCI but I have no idea what that is.

Getting a new HDD that is DOA is unusual, but not unheard of. I have 6 WD HDD's and have never had any problems with any of them.

Most spinners will make some kind of audible noise if listen close, and you also should be able to feel a difference by touching the drive from powered-off state to powered-on state. If you can verify that the power is connected properly and working to the drive, and you hear and feel nothing when you power it on, I'd go with the return/RMA route.

2015 Top 20 Companies: AstraZeneca
1. AstraZeneca $19.5B ▲7.2%
Global revenue: $33.3B (7th); up 4.9%
Top brands: Nexium ($5.9B); Crestor ($5.8B); Symbicort ($2.2B); Seroquel ($1.3B)
Promotional spend: $1.6B (2nd); 8.2% of rev.
R&D spend: $4.9B (7th); up 2%; 14.7% of rev.
Planned launches: MEDI-4736 (onc.); tremelimumab (onc.); lesinurad (gout); brodalumab (psoriasis)
Patent expirations: Symbicort (2015); Synagis (2015); Crestor (2016)
In the heat of Pfizer's failed $100-billion takeover bid last year, AZ's CEO Pascal Soriot made a promise to shareholders: If the company remained independent, he would lead it to sales of $45 billion by 2023—a 75% increase. When the smoke cleared, he walked back those bold words a little, but they are not completely outlandish. The UK-based drugmaker ranks among the "big four" of immuno-oncology companies (the others being Bristol-Myers Squibb, Roche and Merck) at the forefront of what many researchers believe might soon be one of medicine's most rewarding fields. In the coming months, interest in data from AZ's rich oncology pipeline will be high, especially the combo-drug MEDI-4736 and tremelimumab, with its unique CTLA-4 mechanism of action. However, even in best-case scenarios, the company likely faces lean times before new therapies pay off. Profits were down last year and might have been worse had a generic competitor to Nexium emerged sooner. Top-earner Crestor's patent expires in 2016. And the FDA's investigation of Onglyza for possible cardiovascular side effects jeopardizes AZ's diabetes-heavy portfolio.

Code of conduct & discipline
The Intellectual Property Regulation Board (IPReg) has drawn up a code of conduct which applies to all registered trade mark attorneys (and patent attorneys). This can be found at http://www.ipreg.org.uk/information/code_conduct.php
Even in the most professional and competent of organisations things can go wrong and all firms of trade mark attorneys must have in place internal complaints procedures to handle any complaints from their clients. If this has been used but there remains dissatisfaction then there are two routes open to a client.
Any allegation of a breach of the code of conduct by a trade mark attorney should be directed to IPReg [www.ipreg.org.uk] who will consider and investigate if appropriate. The procedure that they will adopt can be found at http://www.ipreg.org.uk/information/complaints_procedure.php
If your unresolved complaint is one which relates to the service provided by a trade mark attorney, the Office for Legal Complaints (OLC) is able to assist. Details about the OLC and further information about the procedure to follow can be found at - http://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/

The Confederate battle flag issue was here when the presidential candidates arrived months ago to begin campaigning for today's Republican primary. And it will still be here when they depart, as politically contentious and seemingly intractable as ever.
Gov. Jim Hodges of South Carolina proposed on Monday that the Legislature approve moving the flag to a site near the Statehouse on which there is a statue of Gen. Wade Hampton, a Civil War hero. Standing with the governor when he announced the plan were business and community leaders who are concerned about the impact of the dispute on the state. Standing there, too, were 22 legislators, 9 of them black.
Given the makeup of that gathering, it appeared the governor's proposal, with its nod to both sides in the fight, might end the impasse. Such a compromise had long seemed to many South Carolinians to be the best way to get the flag off of the Statehouse.
But now the Hodges plan appears to be in some trouble.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has called for an economic boycott of South Carolina until the flag comes down, says the compromise is inadequate. What is more, some black leaders say state N.A.A.C.P. officials have begun warning black legislators, many of them weary of the flag issue and eager to move on, to vote against the plan or risk political retribution.
One N.A.A.C.P. ally, State Senator Darrell Jackson of Richland, told The State newspaper of Columbia on Thursday that the group's leaders minced no words in demanding that black legislators put up a solid front of opposition to the proposal.Continue reading the main story

Got a clogged condensate drain line eh? We understand. It's a messy problem, which many Phoenix-area homeowners have.
You should get this fixed fast because a drain line clog can cause big problems like:
There are two things you can do to unclog it:
If you want to do it yourself, this article will give you a simple method of unclogging the drain line. There may be more wrong with your a/c unit than just the drain line, so we highly recommend calling George Brazil to at least diagnose the problem.
You'll be using a wet/dry vacuum to suck out whatever is obstructing the drain line.
Most homes have a main drain line and a secondary drain line. The secondary drain line is usually located higher and water drips out when the main drain line is clogged. The main drain line is located near the ground on the outside of your home. It'll be a 3/4-quarter inch PVC pipe that's coming out of your home.
Now we get to the fun part. Before you turn on the vacuum, make sure that the hose has a good seal on the PVC pipe or its suction power won't be as effective. Let the vacuum run for 3 minutes or so.
After 3 minutes has passed, turn off the vacuum and check it to see if you were able to get anything out. You'll likely find algae, dirt, dust, and/or insects in the vacuum alongside all the water that had been backed up. Toss the junk, and you're done!
If you don't feel comfortable unclogging your own drain line, contact George Brazil for a repair visit. Scheduling online saves you 10%!
Avoiding clogged drain lines is easy if your air conditioner gets an annual tune-up. Our service technicians will check your drain line as a part of a typical maintenance visit.
But if your system does get clogged, you can easily prevent costly water damage if your system has a float switch. A float switch detects when water is backing up due to a clogged condensate line and shuts off your cooling system, preventing it from producing any more water and leaking everywhere.
On your next maintenance visit, we recommend asking your George Brazil technician to install the float switch for you and to double check the cleanliness of your air conditioner's drain line.

(Reuters) - A Connecticut man faces charges of threatening his wife after stabbing a large butcher's knife through a watermelon and leaving it on the kitchen table for her to see, authorities said on Tuesday.
Carmine Cervellino, 49, was arraigned on Monday on misdemeanor counts of threatening and disorderly conduct, Thomaston Police Department Chief James Campbell said. Cervellino was arrested on Saturday and released after posting $500 bond.
Campbell said the incident began on July 4 when Cervellino's wife reported to police containers of prescription pills and marijuana she found hidden in his tool box. The two were going through divorce proceedings at the time, he said.
She returned from the police station and found a watermelon with a large butcher's knife stabbed through it on the table, interpreting it as a threat, Campbell said. The woman reported that Cervellino then entered the kitchen without speaking and began chopping up the fruit.
"What we're dealing with here is a domestic violence situation, which we take very seriously," Campbell said.
It was not immediately clear if Cervellino had an attorney. He is next scheduled to be in court on Aug. 28.
Cervellino is not currently facing drug charges as the narcotics reported by the wife have not been recovered or tested by authorities, Campbell said.

Where Flamingoes Go To Heaven: Celestún Eager Estuary – Celestún, Mexico
Where Flamingoes Go To Heaven: Celestún's Eager Estuary
Celestún, Mexico
Most travelers visit the tiny, windy beach town of Celestún, Mexico because of the birds. During the right season, Celestún is home to more than 18,000 flamingoes, representing North America's only mainland flamingo population. Located on the western edge of the Yucatan peninsula, the Celestún Estuary serves as the main feeding area for the pink American flamingo, and many more graceful bird species like Osprey, Cormorant, and Frigates. In addition to the tourism generated by the bird sanctuary, Celestún relies heavily on fishing. When you arrive, you'll see many boats on the beach, armed with fishing nets, baskets for clams and crabs, and bamboo poles for catching octopus.
Where to Eat
Shrimp fisherman
Your eating choices are limited but luckily very good. If you want cheap, go to the main plaza and eat at the cocina economicas, where they serve carnitas, fish, tacos and tortas. Directly on the beach there are five seafood restaurants, most of which have freshwater showers to let you rinse off the ocean salt before eating. The seafood here couldn't be any fresher, so check the menus for daily specials and eat well. La Playita, Chemas, Avila, Celestún, and Boya are all good, complete with sea view and quick access to the beach. Try a cocktail mixto of all the delicious seafood there is on offer. Clams, crabs, lobster, conch, octopus, fish and shrimp. It's all good.
Where to Stay
There are only three or four very basic hotels in Celestún (depending on the season). Try to plan your stay around Friday and Saturday nights, when you might find that all the rooms are taken by Merida's weekenders. Three hotels directly on the beach are all good, cheap and clean, with fan, large bed, sea breeze and sea view: Hotel Guitierrez, Maria del Carmen, Hotel San Julio, and Celestún. The rooms here range from $9-$20 per night double.
Sometimes the locals offer cheaper rooms for rent (ask around). You can also hang hammocks for a small fee at some of the beach restaurants, and camping is also an option (small bribe), but can be very windy in the afternoons and evenings.
If you've got a lot of money to burn, you can arrange a stay at the nearby Eco Paraiso, 5 miles north of town (from $75 each night). They have a private pool, eco-reserve trips, and probably very excellent food. email@example.com
Where to Go
The beach is directly in front of the main hotels and restaurants, and also serves as the principle Calle 12. It even has street lights planted in a row in the sand. The best time to go swimming is in the morning, when the wind has died down and the water is clear and calm. Later in the afternoon, the wind comes and churns up the sand, turning the sea a chalky green color (remember that this is the Gulf of Mexico, so don't expect the blue waters of the Caribbean). Stay away from the main dock, as this is where the fresh fish are cleaned and disposed of. Sometimes you can find nice shells too.
Eco-Reserve Tour:
Probably the most worthwhile activity to do while you're in Celestún is to take a boat tour of the lagoon to see the flamingo colonies. The best time of the year to see these birds is January through March, when they are migrating, but there will almost always be a few who stayed behind year round, but just a few.
Celestún wildlife
You may hire a boat from $20-$30 per tour divided by the number of people on board (usually 6-10). For this fee the boatman will take you into the mangrove forests and hypersaline lagoons to observe the flora and fauna. There are short and long tours available, the only difference being in where you start the boat ride. If you start the trip from the bridge over the lagoon on the way into town, the tour is usually about one hour. If you take a boat from the Gulf of Mexico side where the hotels are, it will take you twice as long, depending on the weather and seas, as you have to go around the peninsula to enter the lagoon. I would recommend taking the longer route if it's a nice calm day on the ocean, as you'll see a lot more of the outlying area and more wildlife too. If it's not such a nice day however, go for the short trip and avoid the open ocean. The important thing is to see the flamingoes in the lagoon, not to shipwreck yourself on the outer banks. The earlier in the day you depart, the more wildlife you'll see. Go early!
While your boatman maneuvers you closer to the flamingoes, remember not to frighten these animals, as every time they take off to fly they are losing energy. If the birds are forced to fly too often, they won't be able to feed enough and may weaken and die. Your boatman should remind you of this before entering the sanctuary.
In addition to the tour of the flamingo colonies, you'll also get a chance to swim in a freshwater spring (called a cenote), ride through a mangrove tunnel or two, and see a petrified forest. All in all, it's a lovely excursion with lots to see. Bring film!
How to Get There
The closest big city to Celestún is Merida, the Yucatán's capitol. There are buses 10-12 times daily from the Union de Camioneros de Yucatán terminal in downtown Merida on Calle 71 between Calles 62 and 64. It is important to remember this, as there are many different bus terminals in Merida, making it confusing. Since it takes under two hours to get there, and it costs $2 each way, it is feasible that you could do a day trip to Celestún from Merida. Do this only if you are short on time, or if you can't find accommodation in Celestún. Staying the night in such a tranquil laid back village is much nicer than the noise and pollution of Merida.

By now you're all probably familiar with Proposition L (no, not glee), also known as Sit/Lie, which will be on the Nov 2 ballot. If passed, it would make it a misdemeanor for people (after a warning) to sit or lie down on public sidewalks between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. As explained here by Melissa Griffin, the law contains exceptions for people legitimately in wheelchairs, parade onlookers and other folks who might need to occupy a sidewalk for a short period of time. It does not apply to parks, benches or private property.
As you can imagine, this is a very controversial proposition everywhere in the city, and in particular in the Tenderloin. Lately I've seen many businesses or offices in the neighborhood harboring signs with the message 'Sidewalks are for the people'. And apparently tomorrow opponents of this proposed law have announced a plan to take to the streets and sell lemonade.
Of all the demonstrations seen lately against Prop L, I think my favorite has to be this mediation session held by blog of the Faithful Fools Street Ministry in front of their building on Hyde at Turk two weeks ago.
For many San Franciscans, deciding how to vote on this is not easy. Mainly because it seems to me that both the people in favor and against the proposition have the same goal at heart: to be able to enjoy again the city's sidewalks, without fear or harassment. Ultimately, if it passes, it will probably have little worth as it will just create a new advocate group to work with those who have been wrongfully de-seated.

|Summary, etc.:
For the first time in eBook edition comes a science fiction classic that is at once eerie and prescient, wildly entertaining and ferociously intelligent. Winner of the Nebula Award, the Hugo Award, the Locus Award, and one of the most acclaimed writers in science fiction, Ursula Le Guin's classic novel The Lathe of Heaven imagines a world in which one man's dreams can change all of our realities. In a world beset by climate instability and overpopulation, George Orr discovers that his dreams have the power to alter reality. Upon waking, the world he knew has become a strange, barely recognizable place, where only George has the clear memory of how it was before. He seeks counseling from Dr. William Haber, a psychiatrist who immediately understands how powerful a weapon George wields. Soon, George is a pawn in Haber's dangerous game, where the fate of humanity grows more imperiled with every waking hour. As relevant to our current world as it was when it won the Locus Award, Ursula Le Guin's novel is a true classic, at once eerie and prescient, wildly entertaining and ferociously intelligent.

Work & Play Mobile Solutions Ease BYOD Fears
As BYOD takes off, the concerns of field service leaders are growing, too. That's because at the beginning of the trend, handling BlackBerry and iOS access was relatively easy. Now, IT departments must try to wrestle control over so many different devices and operating systems leaving them nearly overwhelmed.
But users want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to answer work-related messages, access company files, and link to business applications beyond nine-to-five corporate hours. Then they want to check out YouTube videos, send some cool Instagram photos, and download apps which are not always safe.
And it's not news that corporate leaders are concerned about security breaches, malware intrusions, and compromised data. Recent mobile security solutions offer the means to give end users their freedom while maintaining control at the same time.
This new generation of dual-mode solutions effectively divides a mobile device so that a user can smoothly shift from work-related tasks to personal use.
Here's what the most recent offerings promise:
- Samsung Knox: With single click sign-on, users can switch between work and personal environments. Knox follows the growing trend of Zero Sign-On (i.e. Box, Catch, Onvelop) which offers a degree of security that removes the need to enter username and password. Such easy authentication makes it a breeze to access business content and then switch to leisure activities. All the while giving IT the control it craves.
- Enterproid Toggle: A password-protected dual profile solution lets you divide your Android or iOS device into two: one lets you connect to your company's server for work; the other profile lets you download apps, play videos and access social media sites as much as you like. The software gives IT the control it desires with the ability to wipe corporate information on an as-need basis
- VMware MVP: Based on the company's strong virtualization presence, the Mobile Virtualization Platform (MVP) relies on having two operating systems accessible to users. One is real, embedded in the device; the other is virtual. The solution uses a partition where the base Android system stores your personal profile. The virtual OS is where your corporate information resides—and never the twain shall meet. All information is isolated from an employee's personal profile.
It's ideal for enterprise-level operations, partly due to the predominance of VMware in today's data center. With that comes IT familiarity thanks to experience with other virtualization technologies.
- BlackBerry Balance: Similar to AT&T's Toggle and VMware's MVP, BlackBerry Balance is limited to a set user base: BlackBerry owners. Personal features that may be allowed in one setting are simply blacked out or inaccessible in the work setting. Balance lives directly on the user's smartphone, accessible to IT which can control access or wipe content as needed.
While the playing field is still relatively new, look for increasing numbers of solutions that attempt to divide the work and personal worlds. That's because the BYOD trend shows no signs of slowing down or reversing.
For IT, such security is key because the need to control network access has never been greater. For field service businesses, limiting access to personal mode while on work mode means employees are getting paid for working and not using Facebook, watching videos or playing games when they're on the job.
As reliance on the cloud increases, especially for enabling field service activities, look for security solutions to align accordingly: Android/Google, iOS/iCloud, Windows Phone/MS Azure, etc. Such is the possible future for mobile OSes, that it's the cloud behind the device that will increasingly define how that device is used. "Walled gardens," anyone?

SEE MORE WEB SERVER SETUP FEATURES : Customized application server setup | High availability infrastructure setup | High performance infrastructure setup
Speed boost your apps with performance optimization
Sub-second page load times can be achieved only if a page is ready for delivery as soon as a request comes in. The way to achieve this is to minimize page processing time for each request.
We achieve this by setting up cache severs, load balancers and DNS clusters on top of performance optimized web and database servers. We analyze the geographical spread of your website visitors, and the application complexity to build a customized web infrastructure that'll display your app pages within a second or two.
To setup high performance systems, we use a wide range of open source and proprietary software which includes Nginx, LiteSpeed, Varnish, Memcached, Percona XtraDB, TinyDNS, etc.
SEE MORE WEB SERVER SETUP FEATURES : Customized application server setup | Virtualized or cloud server setup | High availability infrastructure setup
Improve your service uptime with high availability
To achieve high availability, there should be no single point failures. That is, if a web server, database server or even a load balancer goes down, another should take it its place automatically.
We achieve this using many architectures such as auto-switch disaster recovery, active/active load balancing, etc. We analyze your business goals and build an HA system that is customized for your needs. It could include load balancers with auto-failover, web servers linked with clustered file systems, database load balancers, database clusters with master-master replication, and more.

24/7 server monitoring and emergency support
Quick reaction is at the core of maintaining a reliable infrastructure. An increasing trend in memory usage, or an abnormally high process count can indicate a server issue that's brewing in the background. We constantly monitor server metrics to detect such issues early, and take preventive action to avoid a downtime.
Resource usage and performance bottlenecks vary from one application to another. So, to detect a performance issue early on, we create custom monitoring scripts that detects app specific usage anomalies such as processing time, long running processes, locked DB queries, etc.
Along with these, we monitor general server health parameters which helps us detect server resource bottlenecks. These metrics include CPU and memory usage, response time, packet loss, network latency, etc.

Hack proof your apps with emergency patching and server hardening
New software vulnerabilities are disclosed all the time. The best way to prevent security issues is to detect vulnerabilities early on, and patch it before an attacker can exploit it.
We closely monitor security channels for new vulnerabilities, and patch applications before it can be exploited. In addition, we do penetration testing on the web server and applications so that all un-disclosed, open vulnerabilities are identified and secured.
To make the applications double secure, we use multi-layer hardening (aka, in-depth defense) on all servers. This includes network firewall hardening, malware scanning, web service hardening, app server hardening, and use of web application firewalls.
SEE MORE WEB SERVER MAINTENANCE FEATURES : 24/7 monitoring & emergency support | Performance audit and tuning | Web infrastructure upgrades
Blazing fast apps with performance audit and tuning
Over time, all applications develop performance bottlenecks. This happens due to several factors such as increased database size, increased traffic, poor cache performance, etc. Timely performance tuning can effectively prevent such bottlenecks.
Our engineers monitor various application and server metrics such as server load, I/O wait time, idle workers, etc. to detect performance bottlenecks. When an anomaly is detected, updates are made to web or application server settings to prevent a service downtime.
In addition, periodic performance audits are done in which the app server, web server and database server is individually tested to detect performance issues. Corrective actions such as performance tuning and architecture changes are done to keep the servers responsive.

Silky smooth website and server upgrades
We help businesses keep their apps and server software up-to-date. This minimizes security risks, and delivers the latest features to customers. In order to make sure the upgrades do not break the apps, we use a test and deploy method of software upgrade, where all changes are made on an off-grid server, QA tested, and then deployed on production.
We maintain virtual servers of identical configuration as production servers. When an upgrade is required, we first make the changes in the off-grid servers, and test the apps thoroughly to detect any bugs. Once any detected bugs are fixed, we release the changes into production servers.
In situations where the application is custom built, we work with the app developers to create a code delivery pipeline, using tools such as Vagrant, Jenkins, Puppet, Chef, and more.

Urea rivals ammomium nitrate in crop response
Treated urea offers growers just as good a combination of crop response and reduced greenhouse gas emissions as the best ammonium nitrate, according to new results from ADAS.
Reviewing data from 47 separate experiments carried out over seven years, ADAS principal scientist Roger Sylvester-Bradley compared ammonium nitrate, urea and treated urea fertilisers.
A well known problem with untreated urea is the loss of nitrogen as ammonia through a process called volatilisation, which leads to lower crop responses. In addition, this lost ammonia also has an environmental impact, causing acidification.
The difference in crop performance between urea and ammonium nitrate had long been assumed to be similar, but trials five to 10 years ago indicated ammonia losses from urea were quite large, or around 24%.
However, the review published by ADAS in the journal of Agricultural Science shows that the loss in crop performance is smaller than the loss of ammonia, with an average 7% lower performance for untreated urea compared with ammonium nitrate.
"Growers, therefore, need to apply a bit more untreated urea to get the same agronomic response," he says.
Prof Sylvester-Bradley advises growers assume a 10% difference, thereby applying 10% more on a nitrogen basis to gain the same crop responses.
Looking at treated urea, there are fewer trials, but the data show treated urea is as good as ammonium nitrate for agronomic performance.
One example is Koch Advanced Nitrogen (KaN), which consists of urea and a urease inhibitor, developed by Agrotain International, explains Simon Borthwick of Koch.
"We were pleased to read that ADAS's confirmation of the high yields with the treated urea. The nitrogen stabilizer maximises the nitrogen retained after application to support optimal crop growth."
One advantage with reducing ammonia losses is that the greenhouse intensity is reduced. Prof Sylvester-Bradley suggests that it gives growers another option, being as good as ammonium nitrate in agronomic performance while reducing their greenhouse gas emissions compared to straight urea or average ammonium nitrate.
The review also shows that ammonium nitrate manufacturers that now use best available technology have massively reduced greenhouse gas footprints of their products compared with average ammonium nitrate.
Speaking to Farmers Weekly, GrowHow UK highlighted that it had invested heavily in production efficiency, a major recent project being the installation of N2O abatement technology at its Billingham site. "This improvement alone has reduced the carbon footprint for Nitram by 40%."

This year was no different than in years past as Coker Tire and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve team up to help others. It doesn't take much of an excuse to get the ol' hot rod, classic truck, or muscle car out of the barn and join up with other hot rodders. And such is the case year after year as Coker Tire in Chattanooga, Tennessee, hosts their holiday season drive with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots to gather up plenty of good cheer that will make many a kids Christmas that much better.
To partake in the day's festivities you need do no more than make a cash donation to the cause or pick up a toy or two on the way to "Cokerville" and be ready to handoff to the U.S. Marines on duty.
The one-day gathering starts at 8 in the morning, the perfect time for many a rodder to roll out of bed, uncover the hot rod, and drive on over just in time to donate the toys for tots and grab yourself some coffee and donuts complimentary of Coker Tire. Of course, it's November and this is the time of the year when it's a good idea to breakout the jackets especially if you cruise up in a roadster. It's darn cold!
As is always the case there were plenty of early hot rods, muscle cars, and customs parked around Honest Charley's Speed Shop and other Coker Tire buildings. Aside from donating toys for tots there are also the event T-shirts which represent the Toys for Tots Cruise-in apparel. The business of selling "T's" was brisk, to match the weather, and all of the proceeds go to support the cause. All very worthwhile.
Sit back and thumb through our photo gallery of the hot rods that made the day that much better for a number of little ones who could use some cheering up.

M.S. in Sustainable Systems
- Organisation:
- RIT Golisano Institute for Sustainability
- Level:
- Postgraduate
- Qualification:
- Degree
- Enrolment Date(s):
- For preferred consideration, apply by January 15.
- Duration:
- Students must complete a minimum of 99 quarter credit hours of combined coursework and research.
Course description
Like the Ph.D. program, the M.S. degree program focuses on sustainable production systems — systems that create goods and services using processes that are: non-polluting; conserving of energy and natural resources; economically viable; and safe and healthful for workers, communities, and consumers. Coursework and research takes a systems level and interdisciplinary approach to solving seemingly intractable sustainability problems, as opposed to single disciplinary and locally optimized approaches destined to yield marginal positive impacts.
Graduates of this program will be prepared to undertake or continue careers in their chosen fields with an understanding of basic sustainability principles and the expertise to analyze and solve complex sustainability issues. For example, students entering the program with a degree in information systems may go on to work in the eco-IT while students with an economics background may work in the area of life-cycle economic analysis of alternative energy systems.
M.S. program students will have the opportunity to work with multidisciplinary faculty and researchers in numerous research centers, including GIS' Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery (C3R), an internationally-recognized leader for applied research in remanufacturing, the Center for Sustainable Production (CSP) dedicated to enhancing the environmental and economic performance of products and processes, the Center for Sustainable Mobility (CSM) focused on the evaluation of environmental and economic impacts of alternative fuel and vehicle propulsion technologies and the development of technologies for optimal life-cycle design, management, and modernization of large equipment systems, the New York State Pollution Prevention Institute (NYSP2I) focused on enhancing the development and implementation of pollution prevention techniques, and the NanoPower Research Labs (NPRL) dedicated to the creation and utilization of nano devices and materials for power power generation and storage.
Entry requirements
To be considered for admission to the MS program in sustainable systems, candidates must fulfill the following requirements:
- Hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university,
- Have fulfilled the following curriculum requirements: one year of college science and one year of college mathematics (including calculus and statistics),
- Have a minimum grade point average of 3.0,
- Participate in an interview with the academic department,
- Submit transcripts (in English) of all previously completed undergraduate and graduate course work,
- Submit scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE),
- Submit two letters of reference,
- Submit a personal statement of educational objectives,
- Submit a current resume, and
- Complete a graduate application.
- International applicants, whose native language is not English, must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Minimum scores of 600 (paper-based), 250 (computer-based), or 100 (Internet-based) are required. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores will be accepted in place of the TOEFL exam. The minimum acceptable score is 6.5.
Non-matriculated students
An applicant with a bachelor's degree from an approved undergraduate institution and the background necessary for specific courses is permitted to take graduate courses as a non-matriculated student. If the student is subsequently admitted to the graduate program, courses taken for credit usually can be applied toward the degree. A maximum number of 9 credits (from courses taken at RIT as a non-matriculated student) can be transferred to the degree program. Any applicant who wishes to register for a graduate course as a non-matriculated student must obtain permission from the chair of the graduate program and the course instructor.

fashion weekend.
and now for the post you've all been waiting for (or at least i have); a rundown of my runway-centric weekend. note: when talking about runway shows, i'm going to be focusing on the makeup looks from the shows and not so much on the clothes, because that's what i do best. also, keep in mind these looks are for spring/summer 2008.
costello tagliapietra runway show (friday) - all the models had bird's nest hair - curly loose buns with lots of loose curls. skin was unbronzed and beyond dewy, almost waxy. eyes were in the bright neutrals from the nars sundance duo, following a circular arching. lips were matte and blotted in a bold, dusty, pinky red. clothes were solid color and had a nice sway to them.
shu uemura boutique party (friday) - i was joined by my lovely friend noelle for this event. here, i purchased glow on blush in P Red 14. that is some fierce blush. also, sadly, we bid farewell to the soho boutique location while the prosecco and hors d'oeuvre flowed freely.
M.A.C. cosmetics reception (saturday) - the wonderful heather from M.A.C organized a reception in the tents for some beauty bloggers. i knew erika would be there, and since i love her blog, i was beyond thrilled to actually meet her, and she was every bit as fun and sweet as her writing. additionally, i got to meet elke, a celebrity makeup artist who doubles as one of my heroes.
lunch and dinner with the beauty bloggers (saturday) - since i had so much fun meeting my fellow beauty bloggers, i decided to join them for both lunch and dinner. julia is a marvel, i always love a girl who loves to talk food and wine in addition to beauty. i also had the the pleasure of spending time with shannon and ellen. and the lovely teri, who not only writes an awesome blog but also works on the new site splendicity. dinner gave me a chance to chat away with lianne and nichelle.
naeem khan runway show (tuesday): hair was bobbed and coiffed. again, skin was very natural, not bronzed. the lips were a loud smack of shiny pink-based red, while cheeks were sculpted and eyes were down-played. clothes were flowing and often used one bright color patterned with white.
still to come: a full blow-by-blow of my time backstage with lancome at the chris benz presentation.

When I think about Real Estate including all aspects of this ever changing business, I feel an overwhelming sense of confidence, inspiration, motivation and passion wash over me. I feel extremely lucky to have found my passion for real estate early in my life. My father always used to say to me as a young girl "find a career you love, that way you will never have to work a day in your life." As always my father was right and I was lucky enough to find a career I absolutely adore. I wake up each day to the anticipation of what's in store for me today instead of waking up feeling the burden of having to go somewhere or do something I don't want to do. It makes all the difference in the world! Some may call me a workaholic but I wouldn't have it any other way...
I grew up in the gorgeous town of Solana Beach, California since age 4. I always knew how lucky I was to live in this amazing town but until I started to sell it, house by house, my love for the city and appreciation for what San Diego has to offer really blossomed.
I got into the Real Estate business in 2007, just when the market started on its downward spiral. People thought I was crazy to get into the business at that time but I looked at it as an opportunity to push myself even harder and learn the ins and outs of short sales and foreclosures, which were the majority of the market at that time. Investors were out in droves looking for a good deal in the incredible buyers market which was 2008-2011. On the other side of the coin I had the experience of going through the very emotional process of handling home owners who have lost their home. What a wake up call and such an incredible tragedy. Getting to the light at the end of the tunnel was seeing the market start to come back in 2012. Feeling the buzz and seeing the incredible competition out there. Homes started selling for over list and sellers started selling! The best way I can describe it was like a blooming flower. Watching something as volatile as the real estate market open up and come to life was truly amazing and extremely motivating! My business has grown and developed so much over the last decade, I am proud to have made it through the tough times and come out the other end even stronger and more in love with this business, if that's possible.
The past 10 years has led me to a great deal of knowledge and tons of experience none of which I would ever do over! When I am not helping people buy and sell homes, I enjoy playing golf with my family and friends, going to movies and cooking. I make it a point, not only in my business but my life to surround myself with positive, highly motivated individuals.
Hopefully one day I will have the opportunity to work with you and do what I do best!

Impulse control has nothing to do with knowing the rules or the consequences of breaking them. Many children with challenging behavior—especially those who interrupt and talk over others, blurt out answers without raising their hands, and have difficulty taking turns—can tell you all about the rules and why their behavior was inappropriate, but this knowledge doesn't help them. Children with FASD also have a problem with impulse control because prenatal exposure to alcohol damages the frontal lobe, which controls inhibitions and judgment.
Daniel Goleman writes, "There is perhaps no psychological skill more fundamental than resisting impulse. It is the root of all emotional self-control, since all emotions, by their very nature, lead to one or another impulse to act" (1997, p. 81). See "The Marshmallow Test" below.
Children learn self-control skills between the ages of 2 and 5. Besides the ability to delay gratification (if you can wait, you can have two marshmallows), these include:
- Tolerating frustration (putting away the blocks without getting angry when it's time for lunch)
- Inhibiting action, also called effortful control (waiting at the starting line for the race to begin rather than starting to run immediately)
- Adapting behavior to the context (talking quietly in the library) (Giuliani, 1997)
In the hurly-burly of classroom give-and-take, children often go on automatic pilot and act impulsively. They do what they've always done, and if they've behaved aggressively in the past, then aggressive behavior just reappears. According to Ronald G. Slaby and his colleagues (1995), children act impulsively for several reasons:
- They have trouble regulating their emotions.
- They don't listen carefully.
- If they have verbal skills that could help them to stop and think, they may not use them.
- It doesn't occur to them to consider what else they could do or what will happen if they respond aggressively. To them, passive or aggressive solutions seem perfectly all right.
One of the secrets to impulse control is learning the difference between feelings and actions, Goleman says (1997). When a child learns to recognize that she's feeling angry or frustrated, she can also learn that having that feeling is a signal to stop and think—not a signal to act. Part of learning to identify the feeling is learning that it's all right to feel whatever she's feeling and that she can express those feelings without behaving aggressively.
Remaining calm is also central. The two-marshmallow 4-year-olds employed a strategy that works very well: "self-speak" or verbal mediation. The child thinks out loud to guide her own behavior. Several research-based social skills programs teach children to remind themselves aloud to "stop, look, and listen" when they realize they're becoming angry or frustrated. Teachers can model this method, making the usually hidden process of reasoning more apparent to all the children. Children can also learn to take deep breaths, count to five, or do relaxation exercises.
Practice these techniques with the children when they're composed, and rehearse them in role-plays of potentially provocative situations with puppets, teachers, and peers before trying them in real life. Provide lots of cues, prompts, and reinforcement when children are using them with their peers in the classroom.
Prevention is extremely important when you're teaching impulse control. As always, knowing the child is key: It enables you to predict when and where she's likely to explode. If you monitor closely, remind her of the rules and expected behavior, help her identify her feelings, and give her a script of what to say before she loses control, you are providing useful information and cues that will eventually enable her to control herself. Give the child plenty of encouragement and as much help—both physical and verbal—as she needs to ensure that she'll succeed (Schmidt, 1996).
The Marshmallow Test
Daniel Goleman describes an extraordinary study begun by psychologist Walter Mischel in the 1960s. In this study, researchers told 4-year-olds that they could have two marshmallows if they could wait about 15 minutes for the researcher to do an errand. If they couldn't wait, they could have a marshmallow right away—but just one.
About two-thirds of the children earned both marshmallows. They covered their eyes, sang, talked to themselves, and played games with their hands and feet to fend off temptation.
The researchers sought out these children again when they were graduating from high school. They discovered that the double-marshmallow children were extremely socially competent—"personally effective, self-assertive, and better able to cope with the frustrations of life." In addition, they were superior students, with SAT scores 210 points higher, on average, than the single-marshmallow children.
The impulsive children's inability to delay gratification had them cost dearly. As adolescents, they were more likely to be seen as stubborn, indecisive, easily upset by frustration, mistrustful, jealous, and prone to fights and arguments (Goleman, 1997, pp. 80–82).

Well, over at Steven's place, I remarked, "And that dangling question they left open for the sequel? I don't think so. I think I know the answer, and I'm going to go back through the series for the next couple of days to see if I'm right. Of course, the last time I came up with a bit of wild speculation, I was way off base. And the time before that too. And probably the time before that…"
One of the really nice things about Shingu's thinpak is that they didn't use it as an excuse to strip all the extras out. The discs had a number of the usual extras like production sketches and character bios. They weren't bad about including heavy spoilers in them (though there were some minor ones.) The real prize was the inclusion of a 40+ page booklet with a lot of extras explaining some of the puns and jokes in the show, including Nautya's most horribly embarrassing moment, and a couple of jokes at the end about giving someone cushions (or taking them away). Reading them in the booklet saved me the effort of asking about them here — it almost feels like cheating.
However, it also contains a lengthy interview with the director of the series in which he also addresses the "dangling question" at the end of the show. It is a HUGE spoiler, so I'm hiding it both below the fold AND behind the spoiler tag. If you haven't seen the series, do not go there. For one thing, you won't understand it if you haven't seen it. For another, if you plan to see it, reading this first will mess up your expectations, as well as how the ending plays out for you.
If you haven't seen the show, go away. Now.
Which suggests that I'm on the right track, but there's even more to it than that. I'm just going to have to rewatch it and see if I can figure out more. I'm fairly certain I also know what's in a certain odd shrine, so I'm going to have to see if that guess it correct too.
Update: another thought:

Get ready Peyton, Eli's coming
Eli Manning followed brother Peyton's path to the Super Bowl victory. Now he's poised to follow his off-field endorsement success too.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Those rare sports fans who think there aren't enough Mannings in commercials can take heart. Peyton's little brother Eli is likely about to be Madison Avenue's new go-to guy.
Peyton Manning was already at the top of the endorsement game when he showed up at last year's Super Bowl, pulling down $11 million from sponsors ranging from MasterCard (MA) and Sprint Nextel (S, Fortune 500) to Reebok and PepsiCo's (PEP, Fortune 500) Gatorade, according to an estimate at that time from Sports Illustrated. He's added about $2 million to that total since he won the big game and its MVP award.
But Peyton and his Indianapolis Colts made an early and unexpected exit from this year's playoffs, while brother Eli's New York Giants have pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history to deny the New England Patriots a perfect season. And Eli now has a Super Bowl MVP award to go along with his brother's.
Now, advertising and athlete endorsement experts say the younger Manning is almost certain to show up in a ton of new spots in the next year, catapulting Eli into the top echelon of athlete endorsers.
"I'd say a Super Bowl ring is worth another $3 million to $5 million in national spots," said Bob Dorfman, executive creative director at Baker Street Partners, and author of the Sports Marketers' Scouting Report.
Big brother's hand-me-downs. To date, most of Eli's commercial appearances have been in supporting roles in spots where his brother is a star -- such as a recent spot for Kraft Foods' (KFT) Oreos or satellite television provider DirecTV (DTV, Fortune 500).
Henry Schafer, executive vice president of Marketing Evaluations, which does the Q-score ratings used by sponsors to judge an endorser's appeal, said just getting included in more of Peyton's spots could give Eli an enviable lineup of sponsors.
"I think that will certainly become more a serious consideration for many sponsors," said Schafer. "Two Mannings may be better than one."
Most experts say that even with his own Super Bowl win, Eli has got a long way to go to develop the same on-camera personality that his brother enjoys. It's that acting skill that helped make Peyton Manning a hot property with advertisers, even when he was still suffering from the Can't-Win-The-Big-One label that normally would be a significant drag on an athlete's endorsement potential.
"What would certainly help is if Eli took the off season taking some charisma lessons from Peyton," said Dorfman.
Where everybody knows his name. Still, Eli went into the game with an enviable level of familiarity, which is one of the top attributes that advertisers value. The Marketing Evaluation survey found he was already familiar to 75% of sports fans surveyed.
That puts him just narrowly behind New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who is known by 77% of fans. Just brother Peyton, at 82%, and the Packers' Brett Favre also top Eli in familiarity among team sport athletes. And only Tiger Woods and NASCAR's top drivers come in higher overall.
That level of familiarity is only likely to climb higher after Eli was at the center of a game that rang up huge viewership on News Corp.'s (NWS, Fortune 500) Fox network.
Initial ratings from Nielsen Media Research showed television ratings up 6 percent from a year ago, giving the game the chance to be the most-watched Super Bowl of all time, topping the 94.1 million people who tuned into the Dallas-Pittsburgh game in 1996, and the second most-watched television program of any kind in history, behind only the farewell episode of M*A*S*H in 1983.
Darin David, account director for The Marketing Arm, which helps negotiate endorsement deals between sponsors and celebrities, said familiarity is something that advertisers will look to tap into, especially if they can't afford brother Peyton.
"He's already pretty high on the food chain," said David. He points out that in name recognition and appeal, Eli went into the big game ahead of Pittsburgh Steeler quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who had won the Super Bowl two years earlier.
"He clearly wouldn't be this highly ranked if not for the Manning name," said David ahead of Sunday's game. "That all comes into play."
Sure, nobody is rushing to crown the younger Manning as Broadway Eli, even after he pulled off the biggest Super Bowl upset since the Jets beat the Baltimore Colts in 1969. But get ready to see more of Eli in commercials than we did of Joe Namath in his heyday.
We just wonder how Eli looks in pantyhose.

Founded in 1948 Bailey Caravans is the longest established UK independent manufacturer with sixty five years experience in caravan design and production. During this period it has grown to become not only the UK's number one caravan brand, accounting for approximately one in three new caravan sales, but also now one of the largest in Europe.
More recently the company has brought this same level of expertise to new product sectors including motorhomes and leisure homes, which are caravans designed specifically for siting on seasonal pitches, as well as expanding to new exports markets such as Australia and New Zealand.
The first Bailey caravan was built by Martin Bailey in his garage in South Bristol in 1947 and was subsequently sold at Ashton Gate market for the sum of £200. A year later F G Bailey Ltd was formed and went into production. The company developed rapidly throughout the 1950's eventually outgrowing its original site and moving to its present address at South Liberty Lane in 1960. In 1977 the company was purchased by Patrick and Stephen Howard and Bailey Caravans Ltd as it now known has remained in Howard family ownership ever since.
Three years ago the company introduced the Alu-Tech body shell construction system which is seen by most observers as the most significant development in leisure vehicle production technology for over three decades. Providing genuine design innovation, this fully patented technology, means that Bailey leisure vehicles are now some of the best engineered and the most technically advanced products on the market which keep owners comfortable safe and secure no matter how tough the conditions.
Today Bailey employs over 300 local people on a 14.5-acre South Bristol site and currently manufactures 7,500 leisure vehicles per year to generate an annual turnover in excess of £ 90 million.
Bailey's 65th Anniversary celebrations started on Thursday 22nd November with a historic visit from Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, to the company's South Liberty Lane manufacturing plant. The Royal Party received a guided tour of the main assembly line, meeting a number of the Bailey production team members in the process, and also inspected a Unicorn Cadiz touring caravan and an Approach SE 760 motorhome. The visit attracted global media attention generating a great deal of positive coverage for both Bailey and the UK Outdoor Leisure Vehicle Industry in the process.
Commenting on reaching this significant landmark Managing Director Nick Howard said "Bailey would like to take this opportunity to thank its customers, retailers, suppliers, plus the consumer clubs and the caravan media for the significant contribution they have made to the Company's continued success of the past sixty -five years."
For more information on Bailey, the company behind the caravans and motorhomes, please visit:- www.bailey-aboutus.co.uk. Further activities to celebrate this major milestone, including the release of new special edition product ranges, will be announced early in the New Year.
