How Stealthy Do You Want To Be?
It seems everyone's love of music has been rejuvenated by the iPod and other digital music players (DMP). Everyone's got one. And increasingly, every new car also seems to have one connected to the vehicle's audio system. Automobile manufacturers are finding ways to help you connect your Apple DMP, MP3 player or even thumb drives via USB to your factory radio. What usually takes 7 years to integrate into an automobile assembly line has taken as little as two. That is how important the iPod has become. It's not just a gadget, it's a lifestyle. So great, I have to purchase a new automobile to get it to work in the car right? Of course not. And if you own a hot rod or custom many decades old, you can still get music in the vehicle without sacrificing the classic interior look. The success of the iPod has brought about thousands of accessories to help you integrate your iPod or other music options into your vehicle.
So as you can see, there are plenty of options available for those looking to get hot rod tunes. You can go the inexpensive way but sacrifice audio quality or go high-end for better sound and more functionality. It is all a matter of what your preferences are. Good luck!

Without comprehensive and effective action, the situation in the Arctic is threatening to lead to near-term mass extinction of many species including humans, as described at the feedbacks page and at the extinction page and as also depicted by the image below.
Several lines of action are needed to combat this threat, for parallel implementation, as pictured in the diagram below.
Any nation can start moving toward a more sustainable economy without need for prior international agreements. In nations with both federal and state governments, such as the United States of America, the President (or Head of State or Cabinet, basically where executive powers are held) can direct:
- federal departments and agencies to reduce their emissions for each type of pollutant annually by a set percentage, say, CO2 and CH4 by 10%, and HFCs, N2O and soot by higher percentages.
- the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to make states each achieve those same reductions.
- the EPA to monitor progress by states and to step in with more effective action in case a state looks set to miss one or more targets; more effective action in such a case would impose (federal) fees on applicable polluting products sold in the respective state, with revenues used for federal benefits.
Such federal benefits could include building interstate High-Speed Rail tracks, adaptation and conservation measures, management of national parks, R&D into batteries, ways to vegetate deserts and other land use measurements, all at the discretion of the EPA. The fees can be roughly calculated as the average of fees that other states impose in successful efforts to meet their targets.
Apart from action to move to a more sustainable economy, additional lines of action are necessary to reduce the danger of runaway global warming. Extra fees on international commercial aviation could provide funding for ways to cool the Arctic. Because of their impact across borders, these additional lines of action will need ongoing research, international agreement and cooperation.
A comprehensive and effective climate action plan will outline the necessary lines of action and will also describe how these lines of action can best be implemented.
A Climate Action Plan is needed that has three parts that are executed in parallel.
- Sustainable Economy, i.e. moving toward a more sustainable economy, with dramatic reductions of pollutants on land, in oceans and in the atmosphere
- Heat management
- Methane management and further measures
Each of these three parts comes with multiple lines of action to be executed in parallel. As above diagram shows, some of these lines of action jointly lead to additional care for ecosystems, such as land, wetlands, lakes and rivers.
This Climate Action Plan contains many lines of action. The decision how to implement the necessary action (e.g. efforts to reduce pollution levels) is largely delegated to state level, while states can similarly delegate decisions to local communities.
States can thus implement the policies they feel fit their circumstances best, provided they do each achieve their targets. Such targets are set by federal government in line with international agreements, and assisted by ongoing monitoring and research as to ways to make safe progress and ways to achieve targets most effectively.
Local implementation encourages that revenues from fees on polluting products is used to fund the necessary shift to clean products locally. This will help achieve the shift where it's needed most.
Discuss what Action should be taken.
Your comments are welcome. More....

If you were paying attention Thursday in between handing out Halloween candy, you might have caught the game of hot potato that took place between the Clippers and Golden State Warriors.
Followed by the line they both drew in the sand and then dared each other to cross, with each gladly taunting the other by stepping over multiple times.
It culminated with a 126-115 win for the Clippers in round one of a captivating Western Conference brawl likely to stretch all the way to early summer.
"Both teams don't really care for each other," Clippers guard Chris Paul said.
That was pretty evident Thursday night.
"It didn't feel like a regular-season game," Clippers guard Jamal Crawford said. "It had a playoff-type atmosphere."
The entire night did, with some major mind games going on beforehand, two head-strong teams not yielding an inch throughout and a couple of brilliant performances by two of the best guards in the league, with Chris Paul dropping 42 points to go along with 15 assists and six steals and Stephen Curry hammering the Clippers with 38 points and nine assists.
First came the set up though, which unfolded deep in the bowels of Staples Center when Clippers coach Doc Rivers cleverly peeled off the designer suit jacket of expectation he was wearing and no-so-subtly slipped it onto Mark Jackson and the Warriors.
"This is a team we have to catch," Rivers declared, insisting the Warriors represent the very thing his Clippers strive to be.
Jackson, too shrewed to fall for the "banana in the tailpipe" trick his old friend was trying to pull off, wasn't about to take the bait.
"Last time I checked, they finished ahead of us," Jackson said, laughing.
He was referring to last season's standings, a quick glance of which confirmed the Clippers were the Pacific Division champs and nine games better than the second-place Warriors.
"That's just Doc being Doc," said Jackson, slipping out of the jacket and dropping it into the lap of the Clippers, a popular pick as the heir to the San Antonio Spurs' Western Conference throne.
Not that Jackson wasn't playing just as sly as Doc – conspicuously failing to mention the Warriors took three of four games from the Clippers last year and advanced farther in the playoffs.
While the Clippers were getting bounced in the first round by Memphis, the Warriors were running the Denver Nuggets out of the gym. A play here or a play there and they might have beaten the Spurs in the semifinals, too. That's how high Curry, Klay Thompson and the Warriors were flying last May.
And that was without David Lee, their All-Star forward who went down in the opening round.
"If David Lee was healthy, who knows?" said Rivers, contemplating a Warriors team capable of winning the Western Conference last year and one he is convinced can do it this year.
Again, Jackson wasn't taking the bait.
"He was in the East, what does he know?" Jackson said.
True, Rivers was still coaching the Boston Celtics at the time.
But the power of video familiarized him with the Warriors this summer, and as he studied their three wins over the Clippers he was drawn to the talent and potential of the emerging Bay Area contender.
And some of the subtleties he thinks separate them from the Clippers.
Like better chemistry, a healthier trust level and a deeper understanding of each other that allows them to do things a twitch quicker than the Clippers.
It's nothing Rivers doesn't believe exists within the Clippers, just that the Warriors are three years into Jackson's reign and the Clippers are a few months into his.
Meanwhile, as he buys time getting the Clippers up to speed, Rivers simultaneously keeps laying it thick on the Warriors.
Its part legitimate respect, part gamesmanship with Rivers gladly building up the Warriors while turning up the heat on the water in which they swim.
And turning it up on his team as well.
"That was one of the first things Doc reminded us about when he got the job," Clippers center DeAndre Jordan said. "Golden State, they smacked us last year."
Of course, by the time the Warriors and Clippers hit the floor, true intentions were immediately exposed.
First came the sideline exchange between Jackson and Clippers forward Blake Griffin during a timeout in which the referees eventually interceded.
"Before the game, Coach said that we've got to find a body and box out and I just mistook him," Griffin joked afterward. "You know, it was my fault."
Then came a handful of sideway glances Chris Paul shot Thompson after Thompson got a little too aggressive on defense.
Capped off with the hard foul Warriors center Andrew Bogut delivered on Jordan, resulting in Jordan lowering his shoulder into Bogut's chest, Bogut responding with a two-fisted push that sent Jordan scrambling backward and a two-team scrum under the Clippers bench.
"That's a real good team, but it's also a mind game, along with the basketball part," Clippers backup center Ryan Hollins said.
The first half of the second game of the season wasn't yet complete, but the Warriors and Clippers were sending loud messages to one another.
"They're a top team in the West and we've got to battle them," Griffin said. "Not every game you're going to come out and be friends with everybody and be talking and having fun. Sometimes it's going to get a little gritty, and that's what it was tonight."
This was two emerging powers digging in and claiming their stake in a deep Western Conference, round one in a fight that will unfold all season.
And it was riveting.

PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) At midseason Washington was teetering on the brink of collapse, coming off three straight losses, two huge blowouts and dissent in the fan base about whether Steve Sarkisian was truly the right coach to be rebuilding its program.
During the past four weeks, Sarkisian's team has quieted critics, matched the longest regular season win streak in more than a decade and put the Huskies on the brink of their first eight-win season since 2001.
Yet the Huskies (7-4, 5-3 Pac-12) are mostly overshadowed by the chaos at Washington State (2-9, 0-8) headed into Friday's Apple Cup against the rival Cougars. No two-win team has gotten as much attention as the Cougars, largely because they have underperformed and for claims of abuse from coaches by former wide receiver Marquess Wilson that led to internal and Pac-12 investigations.
Then again, not every two-win team has Mike Leach as its head coach.
``We need to go out and try to win the game just for the sake of trying to win the game and play good football,'' Leach said this week.
Then he added about all the chaos: ``Most of the time it's been pointless and centered toward selfish people who are being revealed for who they are.''
Expectations before the season had the Apple Cup as a possible bowl-clinching opportunity for the Cougars with the excitement over that potential making up for the fact the game is being played the day after Thanksgiving on the Washington State campus while students are out on break.
Instead, no one is quite sure what the atmosphere will be. Normally, games in Pullman have an extra twinge of vitriol. Washington State officials said earlier this week less than a 1,000 tickets remained, yet how many of those were snatched up before the season began when all the buzz and hype in the state was pointed crimson and gray is unknown.
There's no debating Leach's first season in Pullman has flopped on the field as he attempted to recondition the Cougars into the type of program he wants going forward. Before the season, the Cougars were thought to be a potential bowl team with the amount of talent returning and Leach's run of success at Texas Tech which proved his ability to win nearly anywhere.
Those same fans that bought season tickets in droves and ramped up donations to the school have been left shaking their heads at another downtrodden season when they've received far more negative attention than the positive buzz that Leach's hiring brought.
Some of the losses have been ugly and reminiscent of just a few years ago when the Cougars were the laughingstock of college football. But Washington State has flustered some of the better competition in the Pac-12 this season. They flustered Oregon for a half, before the Ducks took off and pulled away. They put a scare into Oregon State, nearly pulled off a huge upset at Stanford and made a valiant second-half rally after being down 30 to make things uncomfortable for UCLA.
The Cougars may be short-handed with quarterback Connor Halliday and defensive end Travis Long possibly missing the game with injuries. Leach does not discuss the injury status of his players, but indicated Jeff Tuel would likely start at quarterback.
``This is a big game for a lot of people. Everyone remembers the Apple Cup,'' Washington State DB Deone Bucannon said. ``You're going to remember the Apple Cup for the rest of your life.''
Leach can only wish for the day he can give the same speech Sarkisian did in his team room earlier this week, bringing up the fact that Washington could finish with eight wins for the first time since the 2001 season that ended with a berth in the Holiday Bowl. A fifth-straight win to close the season would be the Huskies longest winning roll since 2000, the last time Washington made a trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl.
Sarkisian is undefeated against the Cougars (4-0) and his teams at Washington are becoming known for making late surges. It's a small sample, but the Huskies are 9-6 in regular season games in the months of November and December in Sarkisian's four seasons. It's an impressive trait since the Huskies are just 7-10 in the month of October under Sarkisian.
``I think that's one of our main things in the program is finish. Even in the offseason workouts it's not about how you start, but how you finish. Everybody is going to remember the end of the season and I think that's been our main motto since I've been here,'' Washington QB Keith Price said. ``It's been a real attention to detail when it comes to the end of the season. We know what we need to accomplish and Sark harps on that.''
While Washington's offense has awakened the last two weeks, the current win streak is mostly on the shoulders of the Huskies improving defense. After giving up 52 points at Arizona on Oct. 20, Washington has allowed just 48 in wins over Oregon State, California, Utah and Colorado.
``We had a rocky start,'' Washington safety Justin Glenn said. ``The way we've responded to the adversity and battled back and strung these four wins together and kept it going, that's what (Sarkisian) wanted and that's what we've tried to do.''

Five Worst Valentine's Day Gifts to Give a Woman
Valentine's Day is only 19 days away. So, it is time to start shopping for your significant other's gift. But, be very careful men. It is a tricky thing to buy a woman the perfect gift. To help you, here is a list of the five worst gifts to avoid giving.
Giving a bad gift can create loads of problems. A quick way to get yourself into the doghouse with your lover is to give them a horrible gift. To help protect your Valentine's Day from ending with you sleeping on the couch. Here is a list of five gifts you should steer clear of to help keep you out of trouble. These are the top five worst Valentine's Day gifts to give a woman.
1. Vacuum
It is a joke that has been told so many different ways for many years, but do not fall into its trap. Only every blue moon will a woman honestly be happy to receive a vacuum for a Valentine's gift. If you give this gift, you will be seen at sexist and will offend the lady that you give it to.
2. Gym Membership
Every woman has worried about her weight. But, they want their man to see them as being perfect. It is a huge knock to their self esteem if the guy she loves to hint that her body isn't top notch. Even if she has been talking about getting a membership, let her take care of that and avoid digging yourself into a hole explaining your way out of this gift.
3. Huge Flat Screen TV
If you have wanted a new television set, it is an awful idea to try and give it to your lady saying, "You'll use it too." The extent of the selfishness needed to give a gift for yourself to another and claim it is really for them will land you on the fighting side of your woman. Give her something she wants. Don't weasel a gift for you in masked as something for her.
4. Last Year's Gift
Just because your wife or girlfriend loved last year's gift, she does not want to receive it again. She wants something new that proves you thought about her gift. If you just give her the same every year there are no emotions attached to the process. Go out and use that creativity in gift shopping, like you did last year. Your lady will be very impressed if you can deliver a great gift again.
5. Chocolate
Valentine's Day is famous for chocolate sales to be given as gifts. Yes, send her the flowers and chocolates, that can't be it though. If you only do the traditional and boring gifts she won't be very impressed. Try and get her a little something extra to the flowers and candy, or forget the same old box of chocolates all together and get her something personal to her.
This may all sound very picky and like an annoying inconvenience, but if you want a happy woman these are the things to avoid. Try and stay on the good side of a woman wrath this February 14th, I promise it will be worth it.

Evans Cooling System
Evans Waterless High Performance Coolant provides superior heat protection for all performance engines. High Performance Coolant used with Evans BBC pump can cool large cubic-inch and supercharged engines. The highest gallon per minute flow rate available on the market is found in Evans coolant pumps due to the custom-designed, high-volume, corrosion-free coated pump impeller. For competitive show presentation, pumps can be custom ceramic coated or custom color powdercoated. Design a cooling system to successfully cool the most extreme performance engines with the assistance of Evans' technical support team. All Evans Waterless Coolants and pumps are made in the United States. Evans High Performance Coolant is available in specialty performance shops.
Engines rarely overheat on the highway due to good airflow and good coolant flow. The reality is most engines overheat in stop-and-go traffic, at stoplights, or at cruising speed when the coolant flow rate though the radiator is reduced.
FlowKooler's newest generation of Hi Flow Water Pumps have precision-machined impellers with integrated shrouds and a military-grade anodized surface finish. With incremental vanes and tighter tolerances, FlowKooler doubles flow rates at slow speed and idle to reduce engine temperatures as much as 30°. A more efficient flow helps conserve system horsepower by 2.2% and increase the block pressure by 22%, which prevents the formation of hot spots and steam pockets in the water jacket.

How To Remove A Front Entry Door From Start To Finish
When your front entry door is getting worn out and old, it is time to replace it with a more energy-efficient, updated door. The new door will usually be pre-hung and in a frame so you don't need to be an expert to get this home improvement project done. There are simple steps and techniques you can use to get this done quickly.
Aren't sure if it is time to replace your front entry door. There are some simple signs that this project should be done. Is the wood deteriorating or rotting? Are the door joints loose? Does finish not stay on the exterior part of your door? Are the threshold and weather stripping old and worn out? Does your door have uninsulated glass? Do you need to update the style of your home? If you have answered yes to even just one of these questions, it is time to remove the front entry door and replace it with a new one.

Product Reviews
Average Rating: 5 in 5 reviews
The perfect starter game for two reasons. For one, it's cooperative and lends itself to tweaking to suit your child's mood (they take all the turns, you do, etc...). Two, putting the monsters somewhere allows for a lot of silliness that keeps kids engaged. Of course, my son likes to put the monsters in the bed (rename Welcome Monster?) but that also shows how the game lends itself to creativity. He's just 3 and doesn't have the patience yet for Candyland, etc. The only other game he'll finish right now is the flower game from Ravensburger's 4 First Games but that's more of a 'quiet time' game. Go Away Monster gets repeated requests.
If you are a parent of a young child (less than 4 or 5 years old) and you want to start getting them into games already, Go Away Monster! is a great place to start! The five stars deserve an asterisk because it is five stars for the proper audience... very young kids.
My two year old requests this game almost everyday and we play it several times each week. She requested it recently and so we brought it out for a game with the whole family... mom, dad and the two sisters. The four year old prefers Froggy Boogie or Gulo Gulo, but will happily play Go Away Monster too.
There isn't a lot of "game" here, but there is a lot of "fun." Everyone is just filling up their room with furniture and getting rid of the monsters. For me, the best part of this game is the smile of anticipation that appears when it's my two year old's turn to draw a tile from the bag. And, when someone else reaches into the bag, how she covers her eyes with both hands, smiles and says, "I hope it isn't a monster." My four year old plays along too and does quite enjoy yelling "Go Away Monster!" when a monster comes from the bag.
This almost isn't even a "game" because it is so simple. And, although you can play it like a competitive game, I find it works best in the cooperative format (at least for us).
I love games like No Thanks! and Circus Flohcati that are so simple and yet so engaging. Go Away Monster captures that same simplicity and fun for the littlest gamers.
We got this game for our 2.5-year-old daughter, and we brought it to a game night where lots of people have kids in the 2-4 age range. Usually the kids just run wild at game night and play with the host kids' toys while the adults play games, but Go Away Monster got at least 15 plays over four hours or so. The 4-year-old liked feeling for pieces with the right shape, while the 2-year-olds just liked throwing the monsters in the monster pit and finding the right places in their rooms to put their pieces. The length of the game is great for short attention spans, and it's great for teaching turn-taking. This is a much better first game than the "standards" like Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. Even the adults who got roped into playing had fun.

[Option Teammate control to team games.]
When you're playing a team game and you are leaving for something you may not get in time for your turn you could give control to your teammates.
This will make sure you don't lose your turn but also make sure your teamate and only him cam play for you.
Also, It should be an option from inside the game so you must do it in a checkbox and you can uncheck it anytime thus taking the control away from him.
He would be able to play for you but only 8 hours prior end of turn time. I thought of 8 hours time cause is the time most people spend in bed so it should be fair.
It would be not a default setting cause it would be used only in a case you are leaving to a place with no internet or vacation. Say you boss is taking everyone in a vacation and you didn't knew. Then you leave someone of your team in control. If you don't come back in time(and the 8 hours are in counting) then he can play for you.
8 hours will also be fair to avoid farming I guess.

My DIY Solar Pool Heater Project in 5 Steps
As a wife to a man who's a swimming enthusiast and a mom to a 5-year old girl who is simply pool crazy, you can just imagine what a downer cold weather could be to an outdoor swimming pool, and to the people who want to jump right in and swim whenever they feel like it. During freezing days, the pool is out of bounds, and my husband and daughter get quite restless indoors.
It's a good thing that someone pointed us in the direction of solar pool heaters, which is infinitely more appealing than their gas and heat pump counterparts. For one thing, solar pool heaters are more cost-efficient and eco-friendly. For another, it can be a budget easy, do-it-yourself project that involves relatively just a little plumbing and basic wiring. At this point, I'm going to admit that I have no mean skills at plumbing and wiring, and so I let my husband take over the tasks with some help from our local pool guy.
Prior to building, we first had to search for the best location within our property to install the panels and get maximum solar energy. We considered our roof, at first, because it's pretty high and can get ample heat for the panels, but we had neither the time nor inclination to secure a permit from the city government about installing things on our roof as per local building codes. Most communities do not have this restriction Eventually, we settled upon the cemented path between our backyard garden and the pool, because our pool guy explained that the solar tubes can easily pick up reflected heat from the cement.
Based on close observation and not-so-exasperated explaining from both of them during construction, I deduced that a DIY solar heater can be broken down into 5 steps.
- Fashion the reflectors and panels from materials found in your home. In our case, we wanted to go DIY all the way with the solar pool heater project, and ready-made small solar panels can cost more than a hundred dollars. Above ground pools like ours aren't very big, but we were told that it can retain heat much longer than an above ground one with the help of a solar pool cover. We ended up cutting a length of excess stormwater PVC pipe in half, and then coating it with chrome paint. After that, the guys cut some black plastic landscape tubing into around 80-inch lengths and assembled them with the reflector into panels using hardware joiners. We came up with five solar panels in total.
- Lay the panels in a strategic location to catch maximum solar energy. As I mentioned, the roof is the best bet to place solar panels because of the unhindered heating, but in our case we had to permit, plus half the roof sun is blocked by trees in our side yard. Instead, we placed them on the cement path close to the pool at a slanting angle. Our pool guy also explained that the lower the solar panels are to the ground, the less pressure it puts on the pump head. We ended up with panels at a 25-degree angle to our pool and facing the sun full-on.
- Connect the tubing to a submersible pump. I don't think our pump / filter combo is powerful enough to pump up to the roof. No problem, because we are using a small submersible pump, the kind used as a winter pool cover pump. After connecting the pump to the flexible panel pipe, John, my husband, dropped the pump into the water.
- Turn on the valve and test for possible leaks. The guys turned on the valve to test the flow of water, and for possible leaks. The water came at a trickle at first, but upon checking, we discovered a sharp bend in the pipe and fixed it. The water flowed much faster after that. My pool guy had us choose a small pump, because if the water flows too fast through the panels, it will produce less heat. He wanted 3-5gpm flow rate.
- Keep checking the pool water temperature within a week. Apparently, it's too much to ask for pool water to heat up right away even on a nice spring day. I was advised to keep checking the pool water every day for a week, and I noticed an increase in heat by a few degrees as early as the following day. To further encourage heat retention, I used an old solar pool blanket to keep the heat from escaping come night-time.
So far, so good for our little DIY solar pool heater project, and we only spent a little over $200 including maintenance costs (cleaning filters so as not to overwork the pump is a must). We've been swimming in noticeably warmer pool water thanks to our handy little solar pool heater, and my husband couldn't be prouder!

New Fidel Student Services Center, Feb. 12, 2006
by Valerie Kimble
SOCORRO, N.M., Feb. 12, 2006 – How's this for a mathematical function: The quality of life for New Mexico Tech students is about to improve exponentially, from food service to student services.
Years in the planning, and months in the making, the three-story Joseph A. Fidel Student Services Center will open its doors later this spring, with an official dedication coinciding with commencement services on May 13.
"I am very excited to have a new building where our students can make one stop and take care of almost all of their student needs," said Dr. Ricardo Maestas, Vice President for Student and University Relations.
"The new Fidel Student Center will be the crown jewel of the campus,"said Maestas. "It is an absolutely beautiful building, and I know all of the staff are very excited and eager to move into the Fidel Student Center."
The 92,000-square-foot complex will house all university functions that relate to student needs, such as Admission, Registrar, Financial Aid, Auxiliary Services, Residential Life, the Book Store, Food Services, Campus Post Office, Career Services, International and Exchange Programs, the Student Health Center, Counseling and Disability Services, the Advising Resource Center, Advancement, student financial accounts, and cashier.
A spacious, glass-lined atrium rises to a height of 57 feet, offering beautiful views of the campus, and a first-floor lined with windows replaces the university's aging dining room. Modern kitchen features include walk-in refrigeration and freezer units and large storage areas to improve food storage capabilities.
Oh, but that's just the beginning.
Campus diners will experience "a whole new concept for Tech": a food court with grill, pasta station, pizza station, wok station, salad bar, pastry bar, and comfort food stations, according to Louise Chamberlin, Auxiliary Services director for New Mexico Tech.
Commuter students and cash customers will make their selections and then exit into a retail dining area, she said.
Meanwhile, students on an all-you-can-eat board plan will exit into into the dining room on the opposite side of the food court Chamberlin said students on this plan need only swipe their card once to enjoy its full privileges.
The dining areas will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., "and students can eat at any time within that 12-hour period, keeping in mind that lunch items won't be available until around lunch time, and so on," she said.
As planned, a coffee shop will serve Starbucks coffee and assorted baked goods, as well as personal-sized pizzas, calzones and similar fare.
"In addition, grab-and-go items, such as salads and sandwiches, will be available at both the food court and the coffee shop," Chamberlin said.
Other building amenities include a computer pod, a small student lounge/television room, scattered seating areas throughout the hallways, a large game room, and outside patios.
Still to be completed is a large shell space on the third floor designed as a ballroom that can be separated into three smaller rooms with a total dining seating capacity of 300.
Total cost of the new center exceeds $18 million, including four years of legislative funding and institutional reserves, according to Lonnie Marquez, Senior Associate Vice President for Administration and Finance. Marquez added that New Mexico Tech is requesting an additional legislative funds to complete the third floor.
Offices relocating to the new Student Services Center will make their move over the week of spring break in mid-March. The May dedication will be followed with a grand opening two weeks into the Fall 2006 semester.
"The grand opening will be one huge bash with lots of fun and prizes," said Chamberlin. "Watch for the announcement."

Somewhere between a documentary and a comedic fable, Namir Abdel Messeeh's first feature film is a welcome diversion from the current climate of strife and sectarian violence in the Middle East. A French-Egyptian co-production, The Virgin, the Copts and Me follows Namir's touching yet challenging journey back to his roots. A young Frenchman like any other, his identity is strongly influenced by his mother's departure from her homeland, Egypt, in 1973, shortly after the resignation of former President Abdel Nasser.
Yet the impetus for the film—or documentary—is to cover the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Zeitoun, a suburb of Cairo, in 1968. Sometimes called Our Lady of Zeitoun, the apparition manifested itself by a burst of lighting, with the barely recognizable figure of Mary in the background. No consensus on the veracity of the event can be reached by the Egyptian population. Were Christian believers the only ones able to see it? Could it have been orchestrated by the new government of Anwar Sadat to give hope to the Coptic minority and distract the citizenry at large from the lost Six-Day War with Israel of June 1967?
Namir's family belongs to the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, an ancient community of Christians established by St. Mark in the first century. The film suggests Copts may be the real Egyptians, and touches upon colloquial similarities between Mary and Osiris, the Pharaonic idol. Inhabitants of the mother's desolate hometown of Om Doma explain that times are hard for Christians under the Muslim rule. Jews are equally repressed and routinely sidelined.
The film starts with a scene of Namir having dinner with his family in France, followed by their viewing of an old tape of the apparition. His mother, who sees pious signs in paintings of the Virgin Mary and other religious artifacts, remembers it vividly from her youth in Egypt. In spite of his initial cynicism, Namir decides to embark upon his new cinematic project—a documentary about this apparition. The project serves as a subtle way for him to draw closer to his mother by setting his attention on the mother of all believers. Idiosyncratically, she speaks to him in Arabic while he replies in French, a pattern that carries on throughout the film. For Namir's mother, the Arabic language acts as a lifeline to her native culture. So does her Coptic faith.
If poverty is ubiquitous in the footage of Egyptian life, especially as the camera takes us from Cairo to the town of Om Doma, the Coptic population is held together by a shared sense of self-abnegation and unwavering faith. To help Namir finish his documentary, the Copts stage a new scene of heavenly apparition, making sure to portray it as a piece of fiction to avoid blasphemy. An audition is held to find the right young woman who can play the role of the Virgin Mary. While shooting the scene, the men of the town hold her up in the air in front of a green screen by pulling on makeshift ropes. Villagers stand outside and marvel at a miracle made for the camera. The film by Namir, and their common efforts to make it happen, also act as a miracle of sorts.
The making of the film takes the villagers away from the daily drudge of their hard and unrewarding labor. As one peasant confesses to Namir, they are condemned to work in the fields every day, barely able to scrape together a living. For them, acting in this documentary is at once a welcome and a necessary distraction from pain and distress. Humor is another tool of emancipation from the oppression of their daily lives. Namir's mother is especially funny in her brash yet benevolent vituperations against her son's bouts of irresponsibility. Namir's youthful insecurity is equally amusing.
Yet it is faith that remains a rallying force for the Copts on the screen. They are not called to focus on their victimized status as a religious minority, but on the guiding light of God. Prayers, fellowship and the joy of honoring their Christian tradition are clearly evident on film. The grandmother, wearing a blue cap, white garments and an irridescent glow, is reminiscent at times of Mary herself. So is the mother's love and affection for her son. The laughter of the men is equally moving, and a reminder that not much is needed to accept the joy of God in our lives. Namir acts as the time-tested figure of the prodigal son, moving from secular skepticism in his parents' dining-room to burgeoning faith in the Coptic faith. Seen through his artistic vision, this fable makes for a moving cinematic experience.
Very interesting. I hope to see this documentary soon.
Well written review. The Coptic faith is a deep, rich tradition. I would be very interested in watching this documentary.
Great review. Hope to catch this documentary soon.

Post subject: My first Ford...
Hello everyone! My name is Paul, and I'm an American living in Spain for the time being. I have owned more than 50 cars in my life, but never a Ford until today. I bought a 1977 Mark 2 Escort GL four door with a 1.3 and a five-speed, and I'm looking forward to learning more about these cars and what is available for (period correct) tuning and performance enhancements.
I export vintage vehicles to the USA for a living, but this one I'm keeping. There isn't much market for them in the USA (not a four-door 1.3, anyway) and I bought it just to have fun with.
If I can figure out how to post photos on here, I'll upload some.
Thanks in advance for all the help this forum is sure to provide, and I look forward to meeting some of you at events, possibly.

Well, it depends on how you do it. But figure... $4000 all in. Shipping, taxes, duty, freight forwarding fees, transportation from the port, etc. If you use all professional help and freight forwarders on both sides, it will be more expensive, and if you do EVERYTHING yourself it can be less, but that's a good rule of thumb, all things considered.
Cost is only one issue, though. It can be a real pain in the neck to navigate the paperwork. As an example, three days ago I had to drop a car off at the port of Valencia to go to Baltimore. An old Citroen 2CV. The port is geared toward HUGE trucks, and is highly secure, so navigating in there is intimidating and not set up for little tiny cars. I only had a two day window in which to drop the car off, and literally on the morning of the first day, after I had already left to drive to Valencia, they changed the port. The boat would now be leaving from Sagunto, about 50kms to the north of Valencia. That kind of thing is normal. Sometimes they change the destination port. You think the car is going to Baltimore but it ends up in Norfolk or something. It's fairly common.
Along with the 2CV, we also shipped a BMW 325ix Touring (an e30 wagon, essentially) and an old Land Rover 88. This morning we received word that when the boat arrives in Baltimore, the Land Rover will be quarantined and searched. Not a huge deal, because we do everything 100% legally, but if something weird turns up, like maybe the engine was replaced with a later engine and I didn't know, the vehicle could be seized and even crushed, right there on the dock. Plus, the search is at the whim of the customs and border patrol officials, but our cost. So they will have the truck for up to a week, and at the end, assuming all goes well, we will get an additional bill. lol
So it's nerve wracking. And a headache. But it's exciting, too, and finding the vehicles is the fun part.
Anyone interested can see our approach at:
Thanks for all the kind words of welcome, and if anyone needs any help from me - finding parts in Europe or something - be sure to holler.

It's a rough cost for Ro-Ro, all-included, but containers aren't substantially more expensive, they are just way more complicated. Ro-Ro is a pain, but you can get the car pretty much ready to go by yourself. Containers, not so much.
The bad parts about Ro-Ro is that there is a very limited number of ports they go out of, and a very limited schedule generally from those ports. Also, the car has to be totally empty and very clean, so you can't take spare parts or extras of any kind inside the car. Also, it has to be very, very clean when it leaves. If it shows up in the USA with dirt or mud on the underside, it can be refused for health reasons. (I think, but am not certain, that the fear is of "mad cow" or something.) So you have to have it very thoroughly cleaned top and bottom, inside and out, somewhere near the dock. Also, Ro-Ro ports are fickle. You must drop the car off at the port in a very limited window of time - generally three days or so, which may not sound like a problem but it really can be. Let's say you find a car you really love and you buy it. The car is in Madrid and the Boat leaves from Barcelona on April 27. That means you'll have to drop it at the port, say... sometime during the days of April 20-22. You have to figure out a way to store the car somewhere, and then get it to the dock in Barcelona on exactly those days, and whoever takes it there has to get it cleaned just before they drop it. And then, as I mentioned earlier, sometimes the port will change at the last moment. Logistically, it can be kind of a nightmare.
Oh, and the final problem with Ro-Ro boats is that your vehicle will be driven into place by people and secured by people, and that means the likelihood of damage is much higher. Ro-Ro ships have insurance for total loss (like if the ship sinks), but not for incidental damage during shipping. Denting bodywork is not uncommon (I think they pack them in pretty tight) and in almost 20% of the cases there is some damage to the vehicle when it arrives. One of our recent Land Rovers had the safari roof kinda banged in. Another had a broken toe link because they cranked the securing straps down too tight, a repair that required removal of the steering knuckle. There is no recourse for this kind of thing, except getting a third party insurer, but that has its own problems. Typically, they have to inspect the car before it goes on the boat and photograph it, etc. It can be kind of a pain. (Also, I have been told they are notoriously difficult to collect on, but I have no personal experience with them.)
Containers get rid of a lot of these issues. The vehicle still has to be clean, but you can load the container in advance and fill it with pretty much whatever you want. A car, three Vespas, ten sets of wheels, some pottery for your mother... whatever you want. Everything inside there is going to be very safe. But the container is just an empty box, so someone is going to have to secure everything inside and build shelves and partitions to keep everything separate and prevent damage from shifting. But in theory you'll be paying someone to do that for you, so they would be the ones to worry about it. Also, container ships leave from every major port virtually every day, so the schedule is much more open and easy to accommodate. The same is true on destination ports, so you can likely have the vehicle delivered to a port closer to where you live.
Either way, when you go to pick it up at the port in the USA you will have more things to worry about. Security is very tight, and you may not even be able to enter the port. You'll need a special pass, which I think it called a "TWIC" card or something. If you don't have it, then you'll need to pay a TWIC-holding trucker a few hundred bucks to go into the port and get your car. He will bring it out for you, but then you'll need to transport it to wherever you live. "Transport" license plates are a possibility, but you have to qualify for them, and you may not, so driving the vehicle away from the port is... unlikely. I would plan on having a flatbed take it to your home.
Then the last hurdle is the initial registration. You will leave the port with photocopies of the relevant DOT, EPA and CBP documents saying the vehicle is legal (assuming it is, of course) and those offices will mail you the hard copies about a week later. You then take the hard copies to your local DMV and depending on which state you live in, they will issue you a normal title and tags. It's always a headache, because the odds of someone at your local DMV having any experience with the process is minimal, which means there will be a lot of head scratching and a lot of phone calls and a lot of "let me speak with my manager..." Budget a few hours to get it done, on top of the time it would normally take. If all your paperwork is in order though, they will usually issue you a title immediately. A lot depends on which country you are importing from, too. Many foreign countries have paperwork that is fairly close to comparable USA paperwork, which makes things easier. Spain, unfortunately for me, is VERY difficult. The paperwork here is crazy, and bears virtually no resemblance to their USA counterparts. There is no "title," here for example. No document of ownership. The closest is the Spanish registration, but it looks weird and very flimsy and officials in the USA have a tendency to look at it and say: "This? THIS?! This is all you have?" Hahahaha!
So it's a process, and not without stress and worry, but if you take your time and employ the right freight forwarders and stuff, it's all doable. But it helps to have very competent friends on both sides of the ocean who can react very quickly. Either you or someone you really trust. I think trying to have a car delivered from Madrid to Houston, for example, while you hang out in Houston and try to let other people handle everything on your behalf, would be very expensive indeed.
Sorry for the long message, nut I hope it helps answer your questions.

McCann deal speaks volumes about Yanks' intentions
The New York Yankees' signing of catcher Brian McCann sends a message that the other 29 Major League franchises do not necessarily want to hear.
The Yankees' oft-stated desire to get their payroll below the $189 million luxury-tax threshold notwithstanding, they are going to do what is necessary to regain Yankee-like status in 2014.
The New York Yankees' signing of catcher Brian McCann sends a message that the other 29 Major League franchises do not necessarily want to hear.
The Yankees' oft-stated desire to get their payroll below the $189 million luxury-tax threshold notwithstanding, they are going to do what is necessary to regain Yankee-like status in 2014.
McCann signed on for major money -- a five-year, $85 million deal, which will become a six-year, $100 million deal if he remains healthy and a vesting option kicks in.
McCann, 29, may be the real prize of the free-agent class. He's a sound defensive catcher, a productive hitter, a fine handler of pitchers, a solid citizen and a terrific teammate. McCann has been a National League All-Star seven of the past eight years. The Atlanta Braves liked him a lot, but then the Yankees paid him a lot.
The Texas Rangers were also in pursuit of McCann, but when they traded for Prince Fielder and assumed $138 million of the $168 million remaining on his contract, Texas became a much less likely landing spot for McCann.
The Red Sox were also reportedly interested in McCann, which would make his signing by the Bronx Bombers all the happier from the Yankees' perspective.
In any case, contrast the Yankees' successful and relatively rapid pursuit of McCann with what happened to their catching situation a year ago. Russell Martin signed as a free agent with the Pirates for $17 million over two years. The Yankees never fully recovered from that loss, with their primary catchers being Chris Stewart, Francisco Cervelli and Austin Romine.
The Pirates, on the other hand, found Martin to be extremely useful. One big difference between a losing season for the Pirates in 2012 and the first postseason qualifier Pittsburgh had in 21 years was Martin's help in slowing down the opposition running game. Opponents had frequently run almost unchecked against the Pirates in recent seasons. In 2013, against Martin, that was no longer the case.
The primary difference between Martin and McCann is that McCann is a far better hitter. His left-handed power will be ideal for Yankee Stadium, and on days he gets off from catching he could be a fine candidate to serve as a designated hitter. That is part of the reason why McCann commanded what is a truly big deal for a catcher. On a per-season basis, he will be the highest-paid catcher in baseball. Joe Mauer of the Twins makes $24 million per year, but he is being shifted to first base.
The McCann signing should be just the beginning for the Yankees. They have their own incumbent second baseman, Robinson Cano, to sign, and he will doubtless be the most expensive free-agent signing, the only question being how expensive. It is difficult to imagine another club prevailing in a bidding war with the Yankees over Cano's services.
And the Yankees are reported to be extremely interested in outfielder Carlos Beltran, who reached the World Series for the first time in his distinguished career last month as an employee of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Beltran is 36 but he is not in the market for a long-term deal. The Cardinals demonstrated that, with periodic rest, Beltran can still be a productive player over the course of an entire season and postseason.
The Yankees still have plenty of questions with their pitching staff. But in the early days of this offseason, they have already made their mark and made their intentions known.
The signing of Brian McCann is truly a large deal, and not primarily because of the dollars involved, although those are plentiful.
This deal is a sign that the Yankees are not morphing into some sort of bastion of fiscal conservatism. It is also a sign that this is an organization that will not react with passivity to what was an alien experience for the Yankees -- watching the postseason on television at home.

text: This week, I am reading about "How To Grocery Shop Like A Pro", on the Thought Catalog. They have funny blog posts everyday, and are one of those "how did you know what I was thinking?" sites. I like just about everything on there. My blogger friend, Annelies, writes poems on her blog sometimes; this week she wrote about a "rocky road". Jessica, from How Sweet It Is, writes great/funny posts on her blog; it's one of my favorites. I realize I have posted about these blogs before, but they are too good; I have to share them again. One blog that I have not mentioned here before, but has been all over the Internet lately, is one called Never Seconds. It is written by a nine-year-old girl, who calls herself VEG, and writes about the school meals she has. It is a cute blog and she has a charity that she donates to that helps feed kids that don't get a regular school lunch. So inspiring, especially coming from someone so young. (Right now she is on holiday, but the posts are being written by guest bloggers.) That's what I am reading this week! I really need to spend some time catching up and getting my Google Reader down to less than 100 posts! Does everyone else have this issue? Never caught up on what is in your rss feed? Also, for more about what I'm into, follow me on Pinterest or Twitter!

|System: Xbox 360, PC*

|Release: June 7, 2013
|Players: 1

And to change things up even more, many of the battles have special conditions that force you to change your strategies: You might have to get all the enemies down to 1 HP before any of them will die, or your monsters' max HP might decline with each turn, and so on.
Basically, while the gameplay here will be very familiar to an RPG veteran, virtually every aspect of it is twisted in some way. This keeps you on your toes. Also, the ability to regenerate after every battle and the ability to save anywhere ensures that these constant changes to the rules are exciting and challenging rather than cheap and frustrating.
The graphics and sound are a nice touch as well. When Zeboyd Games took over the series for Episode 3, it went with a classic 16-bit graphical and musical style, and this returns for Episode 4. The music in particular can be cheesy at times, but it definitely reminds you of older video games.
It's amazing to me that all of this costs a mere $5--this is not the longest game ever, by any stretch, but the sheer quality of the campaign makes it a steal at this price point. On the Rain-Slicked Precipice of Darkness 4 manages to be a trip down memory lane, a hilarious collection of Penny Arcade humor, and a worthy RPG all at once.

In fact, its the 2nd day of 2010 and days are already going by like a flash!
My wondering mood and short of baking companion really slowed my baking stints but I'm not going to let it affect what I set out to do in 2010. There will be more posts this year and that's a promise!
To welcome 2010, I've baked a simple and very 1st "Scones" which I haven't try before. I am always amazed at how things turn out with unexpected results. These scones are rather good and I guess they will make a perfect breakfast for my family tomorrow..:)
Recipes for my Scones...
2 cups All purpose flour
1/3 cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Butter
2/3 cup Milk
1 Beaten Egg
1 tsp Vanilla (optional)
1 cup Raisins
1 beaten Egg yolk (for egg-wash)
~ Preheat oven at 200'C
~ Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
~ Add in butter, rubbed with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs and then follow by milk, egg and vanilla.
~ Stir until dry ingredients become moistened.
~ Add in rainsins.
~ Turn onto a floured board. Knead lightly.
~ Roll out dough on a floured surface to 2cm thickeness.
~ Use a round cutter to cut the dough and place on a greased tray.
~ Brush the scones with beaten egg yolk and bake for 15-20 minutes.
~ Cool on wire rack.
There are few points to remember when baking scones. As with any baking use the freshest ingredients. Butter adds flavour and colour to scones and adds alittle to their keeping quality. Use only a small amount of flour on the kneading board and do not over knead. Handle the mixture with great care and a very light hand. Scones may turn out too tough if over knead.
Remember undermixed is probably enough.
Treat yourself and tempt family and friends with these scones. It probably holds a host of home-baked teatime treats to make morning or afternoon tea special event. Its perfect when top with jam and cream.
Enjoy....and a Happy New Year!
