Nathan's VL Calais Turbo
This is Nathan's '86 series 1 VL Calais Turbo. It is a factory 5-speed manual. It had a few small modifications done to it before he purchased the car in July '02. The car has all the factory options; power windows, mirrors, electric aerial, cruise control and leather interior. Some of the modifications included a Nizpro stage 3 front mount intercooler and a stage 3 blow off valve.
In the cabin there is a high-low switch. On high, the beast can churn out 14 psi, giving it an estimated 185kw at the rear wheels. When he get the chance Nathan is going to put it on the dyno to get some concrete figures. There was a boost gauge, but the car was stolen and returned without one.
The calais also has LSD, which Nathan says is a heap of fun especially in the wet when the back end ever so slightly slips out, and then with a small correction glides back into shape. To keep the air flowing through the system at high speed is a 3" exhaust, with 4" tip, it has a beautiful note and goes a lot harder than the standard turbo exhaust system which was on the car before it was stolen.
The stereo is standard, and waiting for Nathan to have some more cash before updating the whole system. The alloy wheels are also original, with plans to get some nice looking 17's in the future.
For Christmas, he got a wood grain 3 spoke steering wheel with boss kit, and the car feels and looks much better. Also to be fitted as a Christmas present is a Viper alarm and immobilizer. This will hopefully stop any would be thieves in their tracks in the future!
Plans for the car in the future include tinting the windows, racing bucket seats, slightly lowering the beast, fitting 5 spoke 17" alloys and installing a nice sound system with good speakers and sub's. If other funds become available after that Nathan wants to do something to the interior, either re-do it from scratch or just revamp it.
As mentioned, unfortunately when the car was stolen it was vandalised a little.
The boost gauge had to be replaced, interior light replaced the turbo badge off the boot has to be replaced, the Century heavy duty battery was replaced the fifth alloy wheel that they destroyed replaced and the HSV seatbelt sash they took.
Nathan was obviously shattered as you can imagine because they say that after the dog, a man's next best friend is his car! He is determined to rebound back with the car, as it is his pride and joy. Nathan says it is an absolute pleasure to drive and thrills him to no end every time he clicks the seatbelt into its holder and turns the key!

Are employees required to clock-out when going to doctors' appointments?
min read
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.Workers compensation laws vary by state, so I cannot answer your question definitively. Though, most states have a website from which you can obtain information on what your state's workers compensation laws require.
I can say that some companies do pay injured workers for the time that they spend at doctor's offices for treatment of work-related injuries. But, not because it is a legal requirement--more of a moral obligation in the cases of which I am aware.
Many states would require that the company's workers compensation insurance pay the worker for this time.
So, the first thing you probably should do is talk with your workers compensation insurance broker/agent/carrier and ask them what they cover in these regards.
Hope this is helpful.

Account value
Script to calculate equity or balance at a specific date and time.
This script makes up for a lack of MetaTrader account history, that does not show how the balance and equity changes in time.
Balance calculation includes closed orders only.
Equity calculation includes orders closed before and orders that are still open at the specified time.
Example: date and time set to 04/01/2014 00:00. If I had a Buy 1 lot EURUSD position opened at price 1.37470, the program would calculate the PL that the position had at the date and time selected.
On 04/01/2014 00:00 EURUSD was 1.37682, and the PL was 0.00212 pips * $10/pip = $212.
This value will be used for the calculation of equity.

A plume of hydrogen gas escaped from the offloading valve of a liquid hydrogen delivery truck while transporting hydrogen to a commercial facility. The plume ignited, resulting in a flash and concussion loud enough to be heard inside the nearby building and to set off the building's seismic event detectors. A small amount of hydrogen gas continued to escape from the trailer tank and burn until a company specialist arrived to manually shut off a critical valve almost eight hours later. In the mean time, emergency response crews called to the scene sprayed water across the hydrogen tank as a precautionary cooling measure. The actual cause of this incident appears to have been primarily driver error. A number of steps required as part of the standard safety procedure were either view more
What is H2LL?
This database is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. The safety event records have been contributed by a variety of global sources, including industrial, government and academic facilities.
H2LL is a database-driven website intended to facilitate the sharing of lessons learned and other relevant information gained from actual experiences using and working with hydrogen. The database also serves as a voluntary reporting tool for capturing records of events involving either hydrogen or hydrogen-related technologies.
The focus of the database is on characterization of hydrogen-related incidents and near-misses, and ensuing lessons learned from those events. All identifying information, including names of companies or organizations, locations, and the like, is removed to ensure confidentiality and to encourage the unconstrained future reporting of events as they occur.
The intended audience for this website is anyone who is involved in any aspect of hydrogen use. The existing safety event records are mainly focused on laboratory settings that offer valuable insights into the safe use of hydrogen in energy applications and R&D. It is hoped that users will come to this website both to learn valuable lessons from the experiences of others as well as to share information from their own experiences. Improved safety awareness benefits all.

I don't know why I forget to write over here.
Life has been busy lately. I have a feeling it's just going to get busier with the upcoming holidays. Over the weekend, Brandi put up the Christmas decorations around the house. She did a pretty good job, too. We still have to put up the tree, and for the first time in a really long time, I am not looking forward to it. I think it's because I hate where we live, and it's hard to be festive when the paint is peeling off the ceilings and you are constantly removing slugs from the kitchen floor.
But, this weekend, we will put it up, and it will be beautiful. Brandi's birthday is next Friday, Kasi has several chorus concerts coming up, we still haven't really Christmas shopped for the kids, I have baking to do for tomorrow and Thursday...I am just completely overwhelmed, but in a good way. The busier I am, the faster the next three months will go, and the faster we will get out of this hell hole.
Deep breath.
I have been doing good. I got to see New Moon last Friday with Missy, and we had a blast. the movie was awesome, and I spent the day with no kids, which NEVER happens. It was wonderful. I am still holding steady at 35 pounds lost, and am hoping to make it through the holidays without weight gain. I really want to lose some more weight, and know that I will have to work for it. Losing what I have because of stress was not healthy, and I want to do this the right way. I am still feeling good about myself, which is new for me.
Junior and I missed last therapy session, and will have to cancel this Wednesday, too. Kasi has to go back to the dermatologist to get her stitches out, and hopefully the toxicology report will be back so we can find out what she has growing back there. The ointment that I have been rubbing in twice a day seems to be helping, but she still has a ways to go before it is all gone. I miss talking to Cindy, and we were supposed to have that new therapist sit in, too. Hopefully we can schedule something for next week instead of having to wait for another two.
Things have been quiet around here...no drama, which is wonderful. The kids are happy, Junior and I are great, as always. It's so nice to not have any negativity in our lives. It really does make a difference when you surround yourself with people who lift you up, instead of people who constantly tear you down.
On that note, I am going to finish cooking my pancakes in cafe world.

Discover & Innovate: How data management can make or break your business
Many people, including me, dream of starting their own business. So with great passion and a bunch of ideas, I started my own online store ...
By Ethel Luk Sin-man, Year Three, BBA (Information Management), College of Business, City University of Hong Kong
My online boutique, Allineveryday, sells Korean clothing which is directly imported from South Korea. I started my business on Facebook and Instagram and I am planning to expand it to Taobao as I target customers not just in Hong Kong, but also on the Mainland.
Online commerce is developing rapidly in both places as people are becoming more IT-savvy. They are familiar with shopping online and are willing to spend money. However, fast development also means intense competition. Why do I still want to do it? It is because I have learned the rules of the game: data management.
First, I acquired these skills to run my business effectively and efficiently. In terms of collection of data, I am cautious with every response and every single comment that my customers make. For instance, from the comments on the photos that I post online, I can understand my target customers' preferences, data that will be useful later for further analysis.
After collecting the data, I need to sift through and categorise them in order to present them in a meaningful way. I need to decide what metrics to use for achieving different purposes. For example, in order to identify the high-influence group of customers, some people may misuse data such as date of purchase, gender and items purchased. This data is actually useless.
Instead, the key metrics should be the amount of money spent, the corresponding profit percentage of the products, and customer IDs. That is the secret of data management.
It's also important to constantly evaluate your situation and propose a possible solution for any problem. It may sound like reading from a text book but it is true. However, sometimes several problems may happen at the same time, leading to some confusion about what causes the problems. This is when the analysed data comes in handy. Once you have identified the causes, solving the problems is a piece of cake.
Studying Information Management allows me to run my business more effectively. But that is not enough. As I mentioned, competition is so intense.
How can you survive? You need to make customers genuinely fall in love with your store. It is not about bragging about how professional you and your customer service are. It is about putting words into action. People sense if you have put in effort or not. An online shopping experience that is totally different from your competitors' is why costumers choose shopping with you.
Running a business is like a supply chain. You need to think about how to find reliable suppliers, how to communicate with them, and whom you should rely on more or less. You need to think about how to save money shipping goods from overseas to Hong Kong and other places, and how to ensure security. And since capital is probably limited, you need to think about how many people you need for distributing products in order to share the cost.
These were the difficulties I faced when I started running my business. Some are fixed now, but I am still working on the others.
I hope you will consider these questions and issues before start your own business.
My suggestion is to be smart and passionate. Don't give up easily!

In May of '44, Kenton recorded the song for Capitol with Anita O'Day singing. It was arranged by Buddy Baker, Kenton's ghost orchestrator of the period. Kenton was given sole credit on the 78's label. According to Johnny Mercer: Southern Songwriter for the World by Glenn T. Eskew:
By 1944, the white jazz singer Anita O'Day left Gene Krupa's band and through her manager, [Carlos] Gastel, associated with Kenton for a year. During that time, the legendary jazz singer made a number of important recordings with the group, including a song favored by [Johnny] Mercer, And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine." O'Day brought one of [Capitol's] musicians, the black drummer Jesse Price (above), to the studio for the May 1944 recordings. She convinced Kenton to allow Price to play on the cut. Later she said, 'I thought it might save the session' and 'that was the first time the band ever swang.'"
Greene, a songwriter, was best known for composing Across the Alley From the Alamo" and Don't Let the Sun Catch You Cryin'" (both 1946). The O'Day-Kenton record reached #4 on the pop charts and sold more than a million copies. Ultimately, O'Day was unable to adjust to the Kenton band's jagged modernist style and quit in January 1945 after recruiting June Christy as her replacement.
But that wasn't the last of the quirky novelty song about gambling, drinking, spousal abuse, adultery and murder. Over the weekend, I was re-watching director Howard Hawks's The Big Sleep (1946) with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and was reminded that Bacall sings the song in the film. The scene is at character Eddie Mars's Cypress Club casino in Las Olindas on the beach near Los Angeles (though the town doesn't really exist, it appears in the film to be about two hours up the coast north of Hollywood).
Bogart's Philip Marlowe arrives at the casino to question Mars and stops to listen as a woman in a crowded room with her back to him starts to sing And Her Tears Flowed Like Wine." Then Bacall's Vivian Sternwood Rutledge turns around and receives a two-fingered wave from Bogart. They're barely surprised to see each other there.
All of this is to point out two interesting things about the scene. Howard Rumsey, Kenton's bassist, is in the scene. And from my research, the singing group backing Bacall were the Williams Brothers—as in Andy Williams and his brothers. In fact, if you look carefully, you'll see Andy Williams in the shot.
In a 2000 letter to The New York Times about Andy Williams's involvement in The Big Sleep, Ray Hagen notes that Bacall did her own singing after a first attempt to have Williams dub her voice. Hagen, I assume, is the Library of Congress narrator for audio books, recording over 500 books in a 30-plus year career.
Here's the singing scene from The Big Sleep...
Now that you know the song and its history, here are a few renditions:
Here's Ella Fitzgerald with the Johnny Long Orchestra and the Song Spinners in November 1944...
Here's Dinah Washington with Lionel Hampton in November 1944...
And here's O'Day live at Carnegie Hall in 1985 (at 32:15)...

Although we were snowed/iced-in on Monday, it turned out to be a productive week.
I really enjoyed conducting the workshop, Styles of Leadership, for the Columbus Water Works. It was the second time I've had the privilege of working with these fine employees. I hope I get the opportunity to work with them again in the future.
Pat Killough, Development Director, Pastoral Institute, emailed me the new design for our Servant Leadership Today monthly e-newsletter. I don't know if it's going to be distributed in February or March but I loved it. If you are interested in receiving it, send me your email address, and I will add you to our database.
Friday afternoon I finally learned how to add a youtube video to my Power Point presentations. I had to chuckle, though. When I told my youngest daughter of my accomplishment, she responded by saying, "You didn't know how to do that?"
The date for our first Servant Leadership Forum of the year has been set. We will announce the date and speaker next week.

By Linda Likins, National Director of DECI
As a Christmas present, I asked my son for a mother-son date sometime in 2013. Last month he made good on his promise and invited me to dinner and a movie. When we arrived to the restaurant, my son took his phone out of his pocket and laid it on the table. The hostess asked if I was going to also turn in my phone. I was really puzzled as to why this was taking place. The hostess and my son explained to me that the chef in the restaurant was so proud of his food that he wanted his clientele to fully enjoy the food he had prepared. He was adamant in his belief that if folks were spending time on their phone, they could not be fully enjoying his food or their dining partner. The hostess went on to explain that the chef felt so strongly about this that anyone who turned in their phone would receive a 10% discount on their meal. I felt that the 10% discount could have been my son's initial motivation, but I think we both realized how good it was to be able to focus on our conversation and really enjoy the meal.
I thought how wonderful it would be if this message could be spread to every family. Use meal time to celebrate those that are there with you, enjoy the food, appreciate what it took to get it there, and just ignore those devices that can take away the focus from a wonderful opportunity to build strengths and support one another.
