To visit the site, just click on the title above.
I've been reading your pages on Loyal Morton Bach after finding an article about the Bach C-S-1 in a 1928 "Aviation" magazine. I would like to know if you have any information on his four-engined airliner design "Super Transport". There is a patent for the craft which you can view by clicking on the title.
I would like to know more details about it and the smaller C-S-1. Aerofiles does have a few facts. I was hoping for something more.
Editor's Note: If you can help Rick with his search for more information, please contact me and I will forward your message. Thank you.

Smith returns to centres
Smith returns to centres
PIRTEK Parramatta Eels utility player Ben Smith will return to the centres to cover for the injured Ryan Morgan (ankle) for the away clash against Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park this Sunday. Smith played the second half of last Saturday night's clash against North Queensland Cowboys at right centre after Morgan left the field, for the first time since early 2009.
Casey McGuire will make a timely return from a calf injury to the No. 9 jersey while dog bite victim Matt Keating is sidelined. Anthony Mitchell will pair with McGuire from the bench.
The only other change is Fuifui Moimoi returning to the 17 from a one-week suspension. He goes onto the bench with Justin Horo shuffling into the starting line-up in the lock position Smith held last week against the Cowboys.

So, if you are like me and have a ton of different makeup brushes, it can get quite disorganised and messy on the dressing table and quite frustrating when you are looking for a particular brush and you just can't find it. I used to get really annoyed with them being in a makeup bag, or a drawer or just lying around. So here is a simple way to store your makeup brushes, looks cute on your dressing table and most of all actually stops them from getting damaged : )
I purchased these vases from Ebay, (you can get them in glass or acrylic but personally, I like the glass vases) which you can get for a reasonable price. I also purchased these clear pellet granules which are super duper cheap, and really help to keep the brushes separated, and standing upright. Fill the vase about a third of the way, and pop your brushes in. So simple, organised and pretty.
I love how it looks on my dressing table. See?
Another little trick I have is to clean out glass candle jars once they are finished, and store cotton buds and cotton pads in them, just like this : ) How cute!
How do you store your makeup brushes? I'll see you soon. X.O.

|Welcome to Mr. David Field, volunteer from Surf Life Saving Australia – Furama's getting ready for Summer!
Furama Resort has, for over 15 years, maintained a strong relationship with Royal Life Saving Australia and more recently with Surf Life Saving Australia to enable the hotel to offer the safest possible aquatic environment for guests. The hotel also provides support for local water safety initiatives and is the base for the Danang Beach junior surf lifesaving program (Nippers).
Furama has hosted 3 Lifesaving Development Officers including Mr David Field. David is based at Furama in his role of Surf Life Saving Development Officer for Surf Life Saving Vietnam. The aim of this INGO is to develop water safety initiatives and improve the level of lifeguard training to reduce the drowning rate in Vietnam. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in the developing world and the principal cause of accidental death in the very young.
David has been a volunteer lifesaver in Australia for over 30 years and a professional lifeguard for 25 years. He served as a crewman in the Lifesaver Helicopter Rescue Service for 5 years and has trained hundreds of people in Australia and overseas in rescue techniques, CPR. First Aid and advanced care. He has worked as a lifeguard trainer in South East Asia since 2001. In 2004 he helped establish the Phuket Life Guard Club and remains its patron. From 2011 – 2013 he worked with the Philippine Red Cross updating their Lifeguard training programs and creating a professional Red Cross Lifeguard service on the Island of Boracay. He regularly runs water safety and aquatic rescue training in Phuket and Bangkok and earlier this year he also visited Bali.
This summer, Mr. Field plans to increase the level of the Lifeguards and expand the successful Danang Beach Surf Life Saving Club's junior lifesaving program at Furama.

They happen to share the same dream.
Newt Gingrich has bitten the dust, politically, by the suspension of his campaign today, from the belated fight he was engaged in to win the Republican Party nomination race and to become the party's candidate in the 2012 presidential election. He should have done so many years back; something he regrettably failed to do.
He is no more canvassing for the brave new world that he has been envisioning for the United States to be the first nation to have a base on the Moon in the foreseeable future; at least that is to be put on the back burner for now to enable him to extricate himself from his failed presidential campaign.
There is the big debt of $4 million dollars to pay off, and his former rival, Mitt Romney, is coming to his aid for that problem to be cleared up. That will be the only good news he is likely to have heard lately, and he will have to return the favor by giving his endorsement to Romney. Newt has been forced to eat crow.
However, his party remained aghast with rhetoric of what President Barack Obama has done on the anniversary of the death of bin Laden to elevate his position as a strong leader. Some in the party were saying that it was good for the president to have made the most of bin Laden's death, which happened on his watch; while others thought the idea was political, to boost his reelection bid.
He has visited Afghanistan in the darkness of night to sign an accord with president Hamid Karzai of the war torn country, and to give him (Karzai) the assurance that the U.S. would be out of his country, but not out of sight, in terms of any kind of military help it would require to fight the Taliban and defeat al Qaeda.
That was still the objective of both the U.S. and Afghanistan, as it was in their best interest to have peace in that part of the world. They would continue to fight against the Taliban insurgency and al Qaeda, which plotted the 2001, 9/11 attacks on Washington D.C. and New York City.
With bin Laden dead and his organization dismantled, Afghanistan would have the chance of being a responsible nation, with well trained security forces to defend its sovereignty and protect its people. The U.S. would be there even beyond 2014 to assist Afghanistan in every way possible in that effort.
Obama has entered the Afghan war zone, at an extreme personal risk, and had thanked the U.S. military men and women for their sacrifices and for protecting America's way of life and its freedom; telling them that they would be home soon, though their work has not finished, they were accomplishing what they went to Afghanistan to do.
The trip has become controversial at home; however, his motive could be nothing less than encouraging America and its allied forces for keeping the peace in the remote corners of the world, such as Afghanistan, and as Commander in chief, to show support for the U.S. military and their families; and if that was not uniting the country, then no other gesture would.
It would therefore be better for the opposition to tone down its rhetoric, and to give praise where that was due. Even though, the country was in the throes of an election year, there should be impartiality in bringing Americans together, and that should show in the comments of their political leaders.
They all knew that the war in Afghanistan should be over for the men and women in uniform to come home; and they should be working toward that goal in collaboration with President Barack Obama, rather than making uncompromising statements designed to undermine him for political reasons.
Thus making the rhetoric to go away on the occasion, when America's arch enemy has been brought to justice, would be fair for both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party; and that would be good for America, its people; and for a world hungry for peace and stability in all its endeavors.
As for Newt Gingrich the country bids him a happy retirement, if he will settle for one.

John Kerry is as delusional as they come. It's like deja vu after Obama claimed that ISIS had been contained right before the Paris attacks. Maybe we should just start believing the exact opposite of what our 'leaders' tell us.
Secretary of State John Kerry claimed on Thursday that the U.S. has "neutralize[d]" al-Qaida leadership "as an effective force," a bold claim that came just hours before terrorists affiliated with the al-Qaida group Al-Mourabitoun claimed responsibility for an attack on a hotel in Mali.
An estimated 27 people were killed at the Radisson Blu hotel in Bamako, Mali's capital. Another 170 are reportedly being held hostage.

- Why Google's GMail outage may be a sign of things to come.
The answer is that most of the coders behind today's popular websites and services are deploying their code when it's ready—not at some pre-determined point when downtime may not be noticed. It's called continuous code deployment, or some variation on that theme, and everyone from Facebook and Netflix to smaller services do it. While it may occasionally cause a few blips, those blips should be shorter and less catastrophic.

- Best Buy has the current generation Apple TV for $89 with free shipping.
Posting this here because I've grown to love this product in the few short weeks I've had it. It's a great implementation for getting your Internet media as close to your television as you would need it. My kids love watching clips on YouTube and Vimeo so having that readily available in the living room is a big plus. Also, having the entire media contents of your Mac is just great as well. Bonus: using the Apple Remote app for any of the iDevices may make you want to chuck the included remote.

- Bret Victor's not-so-brief rant on the future of interaction design.
If you haven't seen Microsoft's video entailing what they think the future of technology holds, you should watch it (readily available on source URL as an embedded clip). So watch that video and then read Victor's thoughts on the matter. That being said, I do have a minor point of contention. I did get some hands-on time with a Kinect-enabled Xbox 360 this past weekend and it was a fun, dare I say, semi-magical experience. I highly reccomend Double Fine's Once Upon a Monster (even the demo is fun).

This kind of talent acquisition doesn't come along simply to tweak the look of an iPhone app. They must be working on something big. On a sadder note, Push Pop Press has announced that they have abandoned their planned publishing platform.

My latest estimate tonight shows approximately 9.5 million users. This suggests that 2.2 million people have joined Google+ in the past 32-34 hours. I project that Google will easily pass 10 million users tomorrow and could reach 20 million user by this coming weekend if they keep the Invite Button available. As one G+ user put it, it is easy to underestimate the power of exponential growth.

Football player Eric LeGrand is continuing to make big strides in his recovery from a 2010 spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed.
Even though he was unable to lift his arm when he was carted off the gridiron that day while playing for Rutgers, LeGrand never stopped believing that he would one day get better.
One look at his Instagram and you can see how he has remained positive during times of uncertainty.
In fact, he has taken his injury and turned into a vessel to tell people that things aren't always as bad as they seem. Everyday is simply a reminder that as long as you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything you put your mind to.
Just look at this video with the caption, "Getting my dj'ing skills up now lol."
It is truly amazing and mesmerizing to see that he has continued to persevere in the face of doubt.
He's also been able to make friends with some pretty awesome people along the way like Lil Wayne and Stephen Curry who always instill a sense of encouragement in him.
Although the injury was devastating, LeGrand maintains that maybe he wouldn't have been able to do all of things he has accomplished in recent years, like attending the ESPYS.
Just a few days ago, LeGrand released another video, this time of him moving his arm with just the help of a sling.
LeGrand's positive personality and the undying support of the people around him have clearly been key ingredients to his progress.
To see how one man can overcome so much gives us all hope that we too can overcome the obstacles in our way.
Even though it is only a 15-second clip, you can feel every ounce of his dedication and hard work each time he swings his arm back and forth with a huge smile on his face.
We will always keep an eye out on LeGrand and hope to one day see him walk out of that therapy session and back onto the football field.

Manama: Bahrain's health ministry announced Sunday that it plans to launch a nationwide awareness campaign on the latest outbreak of the deadly Middle Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in the region.
It follows similar education initiatives taken by neighbouring countries like Saudi Arabia, which has reported 371 confirmed infections of the killer virus and a death toll of 107 people in the past two years, according to Xinhua.
"Bahrain has contingency plans in place to control the outbreak of coronavirus and all hospitals and health centers have been instructed to report immediately any suspected cases," Health Minister Sadiq al-Shehabi said in a statement.
The minister called his Saudi counterpart Adel Fakeih Sunday and discussed plans and strategies to rein in the virus and deal with new infections.
Shehabi stressed on a "common road map", in both countries that cover all stakeholders, including health care workers, to control the spread of the virus.
He said the World Health Organisation (WHO) accredited public health lab staff will also work round the clock to deal with any emergency.
In addition, a national campaign will soon be launched to educate citizens and foreign workers about precautionary measures.
Shehabi added that cases of MERS virus are low and do not amount to a "global epidemic", based on the WHO criteria.
"Bahrain has not registered a single case of MERS so far. Bahrain's health services are ready to deal with suspected or confirmed cases, and the protocol is adopted according to the WHO guidelines," he said.
The health ministry reported Saturday that four patients in Bahrain were suspected of having contracted the virus, but test results later showed the patients were not infected.

New insight into the dynamics of individual actin filaments
The assembly-disassembly dynamics of cytoskeletal polymers such as actin filaments and microtubules support motile and morphogenetic processes in eukaryotes. Understanding the detailed molecular mechanisms by which these dynamic processes are controlled is a challenging task that requires combined biochemical and biophysical approaches. New technological developments in monitoring single actin filament dynamics with unprecedented accuracy and temporal resolution allows quantitative theoretical analysis and mathematical modeling of the key regulatory mechanisms.
HFSP Program Grant holders Marie-France Carlier and Reinhard Lipowsky and HFSP Young Investigator Grant holder Guillaume Romet-Lemonne and colleaguesauthored on Fri, 05 October 2012
In the past ten years, fluorescence microscopy observation of « live» individual actin filaments has opened perspectives in the analysis of regulatory mechanisms of actin dynamics, at the origin of cell motility. The recent development of microfluidics has greatly facilitated filament imaging, statistical analysis of the length changes while improving spatial and temporal resolution and avoiding artifacts inherent to some of the previous methods.
Actin filaments are semi-flexible polymers, their fluctuations in shape complicate the analysis of length changes during assembly and disassembly monitored in conventional total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM).
The alignment of a large number of filaments in a microflow coupled with fluorescence microscopy (both epifluorescence and TIRF), and the very fast change in the solution composition offered by the microfluidic device greatly facilitate the observation of actin filament dynamics and enable accurate kinetic analyses of processes taking place on the filament following environmental changes with 1 to 2 s dead time. The method has been validated by solving two issues: first, to demonstrate that Pi release following cleavage of ATP associated with filament assembly occurs in a random fashion as the filament grows, which has important implications regarding the length fluctuations of the actin filament (PloSBiol 2011); second, in demonstrating that the depolymerization of individual filaments displays interruptions or pauses arising from the slow dissociation of covalent actin dimers formed upon photo-irradiation of fluorescently labeled subunits (PNAS 2012). The latter result, which was based on the statistical analysis of the interruption times, ruled out previous views of filament stabilization by ageing.
The combined experimental and theoretical method used in these two studies provides a unique probe for the interactions between actin protomers and, thus, for the stability and turnover of single filaments. This probe is rather sensitive and can detect changes of less than 0.6 kcal/mol in protomer interactions. Such changes should be induced by many actin-binding molecules as well as regulatory proteins and can now be elucidated in a quantitative manner.
Figure: Intermittent depolymerization of actin filaments: (a) Actin filaments are aligned by a continuous microfluidic flow, and depolymerization is induced by fast switching to a flow channel without actin; (b) Observed time evolution of the filament length during depolymerization; black data points correspond to a filament grown from MgATP-actin whereas red, green, and blue data points were obtained for three filaments grown from MgADP-actin. The interruption of the depolymerization process (white arrow) occurs when an actin dimer arrives at the filament end. The pause is terminated (black arrow) when the dimer finally dissociates from the filament; (c) The cumulative distribution for the interruption times has a sigmoidal shape which implies that the interruption process is both local and random. The theoretical analysis involves only a single fit parameter, the transition rate ω for the photo-induced dimerization process. This rate is proportional to the fraction of fluorescently labeled actin, see inset.
Intermittent depolymerization of actin filaments is caused by photo-induced dimerization of actin protomers. Niedermayer T, Jégou A, Chièze L, Guichard B, Helfer E, Romet-Lemonne G, Carlier MF, Lipowsky R. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2012 Jul 3;109(27):10769-74. Epub 2012 Jun 13.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a brief-oriented therapy that helps change emotional states by changing thoughts, limiting beliefs, and other cognitive distortions. This form of therapy is widely accepted as a treatment of choice by many, if not most, therapists today. It's a good compliment to other forms of therapy including directive types of hypnotherapy and NLP.
Basically, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy presupposes that it's our interpretation of events, rather than the events themselves, that cause the negative emotional and/or behavioral consequences we experience in a given situation. In the chart below are the elements of subjective experience upon which Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses:
As you can see above our beliefs (B) determines the movie we see in our mind... or the meaning we make of an event which in turn determines our emotional state.
Our resulting emotional state (C1) has an impact on the actions we choose or the reactions that chooses us... Our actions are proactive behavioral choices (C2) that we make about how to respond after first considering all the available options. Our reactions are reactive behavioral choices (C2) that we act-out automatically when triggered.
Reactive responses are grounded in limiting or irrational beliefs (B), also known as cognitive distortions in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy language. All of the elements of these reactive "buttons" that get pushed exist in our subconscious mind on well-established networks or programs that run automatically on cue... all of the thoughts, beliefs, feelings, memories, self-talk, and even the physiology is part of the network.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy does not necessarily concern itself with why we have the beliefs or where they came from... Rather it seeks to identify, dispute, and refute them so they can be replaced with more accurate and rational beliefs. Once faulty beliefs are replaced, the emotional state of the individual is more manageable and congruent with the situation in question.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs)
In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your life", Daniel Amen, MD describes cognitive distortions as Automatic Negative Thoughts - "ANTs" for short. He paints a graphic picture when he suggests that we think of these automatic negative thoughts as little ants crawling around in our brain.
He takes the analogy further by reminding us what happens when we pick up an empty can or other container that is full of ants... they tend to crawl out of the container...onto our hands...up our arms... and as far as we will let them go.
Usually we don't let them go very far before we begin brushing and flicking them off. Dr. Amen suggests avoiding negative people because... "their ANTs might mix with our ANTs and start mating and reproducing".
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Testing for ANTs
There are several methods of evaluating the quality of our beliefs to determine if they are useful to us. Irrational beliefs do not stand up to rational examination. Often only a few questions will be enough to identify a limiting or irrational belief.
Below are some questions we can ask in order to identify limiting beliefs that we may want to challenge or dispute:
NLP - The 4 Questions for Challenging Limiting beliefs (Dilts)
Rational Behavioral Therapy (RBT) - The 5 Rational Questions (Maultsby) (3 "no's" = Irrational belief)
ANTs and the ABC's
If your beliefs do not stand up to the above tests you can be sure they belong to a network that no longer serves you well. These old networks may have served a very important purpose at some other point in your life but they need to be updated now.
Once we identify the beliefs we want to change we can begin to apply CBT and NLP techniques to make the desired change or, at a minimum loosen their grip, in preparation for change.
Here are two examples of change with CBT techniques:

Video: Skydiving Compilation Is Simply Beautiful
Shot over the course of the past two years, the video below is a compilation of some amazing skydiving shots that almost makes it seem like jumping out of a perfectly good plane might be something I'd want to do. Almost. But seriously, this is is a beautiful five-minute clip that that is a good mix of style and substance.

Batman and Son, written by Grant Morrison, illustrated by Andy Kubert, Jesse Delperdang and John Van Fleet (2006-2007): Nearly five years later, writer Gtant Morrison's first arc upon first writing Batman makes a lot more sense than it did at the time. Whatever his faults, Morrison has almost always been one of the best 'long-form' plotters the mainstream comic-book industry has ever had, though it takes a second reading to divine some of his twistier bits of set-up. Morrison built towards not only the Batman RIP storyline, Batman's 'death' in Final Crisis, and the Return of Bruce Wayne, but also towards his new Batman, Inc. on-going storyline. Five years of plotting. Great googly-moogly.
The greatest bit of weird genius throughout Morrison's (on-going) work on the adventures of Batman has been his attention to the elements of Batman history that most continuity wonks have been trying to forget for the last 50 years: the odd science-fiction and fantasy tales that dominate late 1950's and early 1960's Batman stories.
These are the stories that the majority of Batman fans have hated and shunned and mocked for decades. So Morrison says, how do I make these work with the Batman we know now? And can I use them as the foundation of The Batman Epic to End All Batman Epics (until the next one)?
And so Batman's adventures with the Batman of another planet; his interactions with magical nuisance Bat-mite; his battles with interstellar criminals; his membership in The Club of Heroes, a somewhat lame assortment of the Batman of many nations: these all become grist for Grant's mill. Somewhere out there, Batman's greatest enemy is waiting. And you haven't met him yet. Or have you?
Here, Morrison brings in what would eventually be the 'new' Robin — Damian, the genetically altered product of a liason between Batman and Talia (daughter of super-criminal Ra's Al Ghul). Batman's dealing with a product of one of the funkier Batman villains introduced in the 1960's — Man-bat, part-man, part-bat.
Talia's gotten hold of the Man-bat formula and has changed a number of members of her League of Assassins into ninja-Man-bats. And she's kidnapped the British Prime Minister's wife so as to be able to blackmail the U.K. into giving her Gibraltar, which she wants for the League of Assassins' new base. Or she may just be goofing around. Weird stuff. Also, the Joker mutates into a new, more homicidal personality! Groovy. Highly recommended.

Product Details
Halo Rings Kit from WeissLicht
Product Introduction
NEW High Definition - 120 LED Rings are here! These halo rings are designed to create vibrant, bright white rings in your headlights that are sure to be noticed.
Features and Benefits Of This Product
There are many competitors in the marketplace. You can have complete confidence when you shop with us, knowing that you are getting the best reliability of all halo ring manufacturers when you order from us.
Available Options
We currently offer the NEW Weisslicht Halo Rings in LED and New HD-120 LED . They are also available in White or Amber for some vehicles. What makes Weisslicht Ring better than the competition?
Installation: WeissLicht LED Rings come with full plug and play connectors. No cutting of wires is required.
Color: WeissLicht LED is a 7000k slightly blueish xenon color.
Cost: The WeissLicht LED kit is considerably cheaper, offering a much better value.
What's Inside The Box
All kits come with all necessary installation hardware, 4 rings, 2 ballasts (frosted kits), deluxe wiring harness with remote option, connectors, etc., and detailed installation instructions can be found online.
Installation Notes
To install, follow the provided instructions to open your headlight, the clips to attach the ring to your light housing, run the wires out the back, connect them to the ballasts using the provided connectors, plug the ballasts into the wiring harness and wire the relay to the electrical system. The rings will stay on when the car is on and stay lit for 10 seconds afterwards before turning off automatically.
The electrical wiring is pre-assembled in a heat resistant wire harness and plug-and-play connectors for quick installation.
Vehicle warranty problems should not arise from the installation of this product as it can be removed without any permanent electrical alterations, however, please verify this with your dealer before installation.
The only time consuming and potentially intimidating (but not difficult) element of installation is the taking apart and reassembly of the light lens covers. If you are comfortable doing this then professional installation is unnecessary, as wiring is pre-assembled and wiring instructions are available online. The vast majority of kits are installed by their owners.
For E46, the headlights simply clip apart, for vehicles such as e38, e39 and X5, the headlights must be 'baked' apart. For E36 vehicles, these will not go into OEM headlights, only after market headlights which can be taken apart.
NOTE: We do not accept returns on any kits which have been installed fully or partially due to the fact that they are un-resaleable. (ie: ends crimped, connectors installed, etc.) Installation Difficulty: ADVANCED (Special Tools or Specialized Knowledge May Be Required)

Common Questions
Question :
Hi , do you have halo rings for the bmw f30 ?
Answer :
No for the F30 would require either aftermarket headlights or to be retrofitted with the OEM headlights that are already equipped with the rings.
Question :
i have a 2005 325i and it came with xenon lights do i need to buy the Depo Projector Headlights With Halo Rings or just the Halo Rings Kit?
Answer :
If you have a 2005 sedan (4 door) E46 3 series then you do DO NOT. If you have a 2004-2006 E46 3 series Coupe (2 door) you WILL require a new headlight as the coupe/convertible of this age group have sealed headlights.
Question :
Hi, I have some questions on your products. First, your 120 LED kit says you can get it in clear or frosted, yet those no option upon ordering to choose this......is this a misprint? Second, I've been doing research online and lots of people who own your product mention that you can get a lifetime warranty on the Halo Kits for $30. Is this true? Third, on your order screen it says that all of the kits are for cars with Halogen lights, and there is one kit of cars with xenon lights. Is this backward?? Are you not carrying the 42-LED Frosted kit anymore? Is the 120 Kit replacing it? THanks Bob
Answer :
1) We used to carry the 120 frosted but due to massive delays from WeissLicht, we have pulled the frosted version to prevent back-orders. 2)Halo kits come with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty, that is deal through us. The lifetime warranty is no longer offered as most kits have stopped being produced. 3)This is not a typo, most vehicle owners wishing to have Halos have Halogen based headlights. 4)WeissLicht has stopped producing a majority of this product why the Frosted kits are either scarce or not listed on the site.
Question :
My E46 BMW comes with stock HIDs. I would like the AMBER halo ring around my projector and the stock HID light in the middle. So, it will be AMBER on the outside ring and inside my stock HIDs. Is that possible?
Answer :
Yes, this is possible. You can use this halo kit to achieve the amber rings: PHO463AXA You can either use this in conjunction with your stock HID's or upgrade to our pure white 6000K bulbs (www.bimmian.com/HIU). This will give you that contrast that you desire.
Question :
I would like to know what light bulbs do I need to purchase to go with these so that I don't have 3 different colors.
Answer :
Does your vehicle has halogen or Xenons? These will be a little whiter than your factory Xenons (if equipped), but that is intended so that halos are still visible at night. If you have halogens, I would recommend going with the Xenesis tru-match bulbs (www.bimmian.com/XEN). Also, if you have Xenons, I would consider upgrading your DRL to the tru-match bulbs as well as your fog lights. With this setup, everything will match nicely. I hope this helps.
Question :
Hello, I am asking about the weisslicht halo rings. I have a bmw 2004 325ci convertible with facelifted xenon with washers. It says in your product that \"Full Kit For Any E46 Except 04-06 325Ci/330Ci\"? so which one will be compatible for my car? and is there special instructions online for the facelifted installation? Thanks Jose
Answer :
Unfortunately, we do not carry a kit compatible with your facelift 2004-2006 330Ci or 325Ci. The installation on this headlight is very complex, so we have chosen not to carry them.

Comments about Amy's Vegetable Pot Pie:
I love the entire Amy's line of foods and this one is great. I love the mixture of the veggies with the soft pie crust and the fact that it is vegetarian is great. This comes in the perfect size for a tasty meal, though I would love lower calories. The veggies have a lot of flavor and the meal is easy to make. I love how the pie crust doesn't get mushy in the microwave. This is great to take to work, or serve for dinner.
Comments about Amy's Vegetable Pot Pie:
I often bring these pot pies with me to the office for an easy lunch. 5 minutes and I have a tasty meal that is vegetarian, whole wheat-based and full of tofu and vegetables. I'm hooked on these little pies. They also offer a vegan version. Lots of peas, carrots, and potatoes in the pie and it isn't too saucy. You can taste the rosemary in the sauce and they always taste fresh, even though they are frozen. I also love that they are packed in carboard instead of plastic. The box also recycles!!
Comments about Amy's Vegetable Pot Pie:
We have used the Amy's brand products for a long time and enjoy most all of them, but the organic Vegetable Pot Pie is our favorite. Comfort foods we enjoyed as children aren't always very healthy so finding something that fits BOTH the healthy label and the comfort food label is outstanding !! Very tasty ~ Best baked in oven or toaster oven rather than microwave

DIY/hadware vs sex-shops and some food for kinky thoughts. Part I
Absolutely the same house-hold latex gloves have very different price tags in house-hold and sex-shops. Those with some imagination and DIY skills can save (or get?) even more. Here's what I've got from Hornbach (a well-known DIY-store chain in DE and NL) for €36.70:
- 3x4m 0.5mm PVC sheet for €21.60. I saw there 1mm PVC and rubber versions. "Officially" intended for ponds, but ideal to cover you play area. Latex is silkier, softer and smells nicer, but it's much more expensive and delicate. You wouldn't want to ruin it with a heel or a stud, would you?
- Curtain rings and hangers for €3.95. Different sizes, different materials (wood, plastic, transparent plastic, metal). I bought plastic, 40mm. Works perfectly as a cock ring. You need a thicker version? Put on 2, 3, 4 rings.
- Tube connectors and adapters for enemas, plugs and gags (originally for aquariums). €3.50 each.
- And then several items (32-40mm in diameter) to make a chastity belt (for less than €4). No particular plan, but I have a couple of ideas.
7 Responses to "DIY/hadware vs sex-shops and some food for kinky thoughts. Part I"
I'm wondering about that chastity belt.
I love the idea of turning everyday items into something sexy (and secret).
Can't wait to see some of your creations! :-)
On a similar note, all though not quite DIY, I managed to pick up some storage twist ties from a local £1 shop. Comes 2 in a pack and are virtually the same as a 'spank tie' just not £11. Bargin!
I've just made a chastity belt. It works and it's lockable ;-) I'm currently wearing it under pantyhose and a swimsuit.
A contest ? See what you can make with a handfull of parts.
And I would like to see how you made your chastity belt.
Still waiting for your pictures of your chastity belt.
For cock ring you can go on this website and after reading all info and seeing images you can buy cock rings here easily.

Do you need to have a GPS navigation Unit? The truthful answer is yes you do given that whilst it is very simple to use your Smart phone, they have a couple of major factors which if you neglect can cause yourself problems with over both the short term and long term.
The biggest problem with using a smartphone for your gps unit is what happends if you drop it or it falls from your push bike. This can be a seriously expensive day and with the risk of dropping your smartphone, its much easier to simply get a gps unit that if you do drop it, will more than likley bounce anyway. The other big problem is that smartphones are not water proof and therefore if it start raining whilst your out on your motorbike, then you have the option to either get lost or use your smartphone, but run the risk that it will get water inside it and break down.
Choosing a GPS unit is another problem, however typically the most costly version will be cheaper than a low priced smartphone and therefore if you do break your gps unit because you have abused it or it does get stolen, lost or broken, there is not as much of a dent for your wallet. In addition, a specifically designed printing pens will come with lots of great features that may help you with your navigation.
These features could include turn by turn directions, in-built speakers or even lane assistance all to help you get from point A to point B in the quickest time. In my view it is obvious that you do require a great gps unit to help you with your directions however the actual question that we should be asking ourselves would be, should I really buy the most expensive, top of the range gps unit, or should i buy a nice cheap gps unit that will not come with all the features, but will cost a lot less.
The extra features that comes with the top of the range models are fantastic the extra cost means that you can quite happily do without them. Choose a GPS device that comes with beneficial features, but features that you're likely to use. If you're not planning to use the features then there is basically no point in getting this model and you might as well save the money and buy a more affordable unit.

I have all the Revlon scented polish. I hadn't worn them in years. The went on nicely and I like all the colors. The Color Club is very pretty. I never wear white. I do have a couple of whites but just haven't worn them.

Kae: it's a pretty strong scent, IMO. But it's not any stronger than the smell of wet nail polish. :)
iceomatic: Thanks! I also try not to post swatches that look terrible. I'll talk about some polishes being terrible on me but I'm not a fan of posting really ugly pictures of my nails. :) I'm vain, what can I say?
Lucy: wow, you have a LOT of polish. It seems like you have just about everything. Do you have your own nail polish blog? :)

Hi all! After some days of message reading on the subject, I decided to write my personal observations. MIR and ISS are two different object. The first has served the amateur community for years and we have learned some interesting lessons; the second is a project with an open view for the future, expecially for new communication systems. A lesson learned is the use of radio-channel. MIR use a simple CSMA, terrestrial system, but with a big coverage, big interest and therefore big problems for the high number of stations. Single channel, big coverage, normal TNC and CSMA are obsolete (in space). ISS should be use dual-band, multiple channel and DAMA with a new digital system. This is a change that MICROSATs have started 8 years ago and work ok. On the ISS this system should be easily upgraded with today's technology. Digital mode aren't the unique request for the ISS station; voice is the most important followed by SSTV and ATV. I think that a completely new approach for the use of ISS will be mandatory, thus a discussion on the today's average of usable packets is obsolete. Look at the AMSAT Italy web page for a proposed system http://www.aec2000.it/amsat-i 73 de IW3QBN, Paolo [AMSAT Italy]

"This new destination [Iraqi Kurdistan] will further our reputation as an industry-leader in adventure travel. As far as I know, there are no other companies currently offering a tour of the 'Six Stans'!"
(PRWEB) February 01, 2012
In its 25th year of business, Adventures Abroad Worldwide Travel is proud to announce the beginning of its operations in Iraqi Kurdistan, with a 9-day itinerary that covers the highlights of this safe and secure region in this diverse country. Adventures Abroad has formed an exclusive partnership with a well-established, expatriate and locally-managed inbound operator, whose expertise, local knowledge and connections with local government and the registered Kurdish risk management advisory ensures a safe and secure cultural and historical immersion in this fascinating region.
Founded as a one-man operation in 1987, Adventures Abroad grew from humble beginnings to establish itself a leading player in the small-group-tour industry, culminating in recent recognition from National Geographic as one of the best travel companies in the world. Today with a diverse client base that spans the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Adventures Abroad has 350+ itineraries to 120 countries and arranges group departures for thousands of travelers every year.
Adventures Abroad Product Manager Rick Unrau, who developed the Iraqi Kurdistan program, will be traveling to the region on a reconnaissance trip in March.
"'You're going where?!' is always the first response. Assuring travelers that they can have a relaxed and safe time touring a country whose name is so closely associated with war will be our biggest marketing challenge. While there are government advisories in place warning against travel to Iraq, we are pleased to note that they all make a distinction between the south of the country and the Kurdistan region, which has enjoyed an economic and touristic renaissance in the post-Saddam Hussein era. Security measures put in place since 2003 have been successful and effective, such that the region is stable and thriving as never before. You know a place is emerging as an up-and-coming destination when National Geographic lists it one of its 'Top 10 Adventures for 2011.'"
The first trip is scheduled for late May 2012; fall 2012 dates will be announced soon. Travelers will be able to combine Kurdistan with other Adventures Abroad itineraries in the region, most notably the Caucasus and the countries commonly referred to as 'The Five Stans.' Adventures Abroad President and owner Chris Boycott notes: "This new destination will further our reputation as an industry-leader in adventure travel. As far as I know, there are no other companies currently offering a tour of the 'Six Stans'!"
Iraqi visas are granted free on arrival to holders of Canadian, USA, UK, Australian and New Zealand passports. Kurdistan is conveniently served by a number of airlines, among which Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines offer daily service to Erbil.
As well as offering unique, small-group cultural itineraries across all seven continents, Adventures Abroad has an extensive range of travel products that includes: Walking Tours, Active Adventures, Family Fieldtrips, Custom Group Tours, Budget Tours, Luxury Travel, Educational Tours for Students and customizable private tours.

Fortunately here in the greatest experiment in human liberty we have the 1st Amendment. Replete with the Internet, cable tv and modern telecommunication we enjoy a plethora of media which despite its soundbyting, digital alteration and omissive editing can still seek ye the truth. Usually if I am interested I can turn to my 3 C-Span channels to observe what's really going on. They show all spectrums of the political arena unedited, often live without the usual tools of deception commonly employed by ABC,CBS,CNN,MSNBC,NBC,PBS on the one side and FOX on the other.In other parts of the world and in particular the Middle East the media is manipulated by propogandists, and often government owned as is the case with Al Jazeera. It's so bad that antisemitism and Christian bashing is commonplace and dangerously enters the psyche of the impressionable youth.http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=27737To better understand the magnitude of this demented thought control one should read this book...http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/imageviewer.asp?ean=9780739308592

Hi all,
I've installed ScummVM on my Nokia 5800 XM and works pretty well, thanks developers!
However, despite the fact I told the installer to put files in the external memory card, it seems it has quite a lot in the main memory too (c:\ScummVM). Here, I could find the default savegame folder, but also other files, like drascula.dat or kyra.dat. Unfortunately I have this memory full, while the external card is almost empty. I tried to move this directory to the card, but it seems c:\ is still occupied by other files. Is there a way to tell ScummVM which file system to use?
Thanks in advance for any help.
You can point your savefile folder to another folder. You can also move the dat files from there, and put the extra folder path to this directory (or move them to the game folder if you are playing any one of the games that needs the dat files)
If you don't play any of the games, just remove the data files. (game specific dat files that is)

'Burn the Louvre,' the mechanic says, 'and wipe your ass with the Mona Lisa. This way at least, God would know our names.
I reach for Prim in the twilight, clamp my hand on her leg and pull myself over to her. Her voice remains steady as she croons to Buttercup. "It's all right, baby, it's all right. We'll be OK down there." My mother wraps her arms around us. I allow myself to feel young for a moment and rest my head on her shoulder.
