Performance Camshaft Kit and Calibration - How To
Synchronize The Camshaft To The Crank And Maximize Performance
When you buy a camshaft out of the box these days, you can be reasonably certain it will be close to where you need to be in terms of the grind. Much of that is because of advances in technology available to the cam manufacturers. However, as any good racer knows, you can never take anything as important as your camshaft at face value.
So, it's always a good idea to synchronize your camshaft to the crank before you count on it to deliver race-winning horsepower. There is no magic to degreeing your cam: simply bolt a degree wheel to your crankshaft and check it the way engine builders have done for many years. The purpose of degreeing a camshaft is to synchronize its rotating position with the crankshaft. This is the only way to know that the valves are opening and closing in accordance to the rise and fall of the pistons as intended for peak performance. To phase in the camshaft, the manufacturer's data (the cam card) has all the information you need on where that particular camshaft needs to be degreed.
To get a better step-by-step understanding of this process, Circle Track magazine went to Dave Pletcher of Pletcher Racing, Inc. to get useful cam degreeing info. Pletcher builds engines and drives his own Sprint car in the fast and furious world of the Tampa Bay Auto Racing Association.
The most common method of degreeing a camshaft is the centerline method, this will not work with most modern-day performance camshafts. While conventional lobes have the same shapes on both sides of the lobe, a modern-day camshaft's lobes are asymmetrical or not equal on both sides. Therefore, the industry-standard method to get an asymmetrical camshaft degreed correctly is to use the 0.050-inch of lobe lift method. This measures the camshaft at 0.050-inch of lift regardless of the shape of the lobes. "The 0.050-inch method is the only way a cam gets degreed in my shop," said Pletcher.
Finding True Top Dead Center (TDC) The first step in degreeing a camshaft is finding top dead center on the No. 1 cylinder. Once the crankshaft, cam, and pistons are assembled in the block, the timing gears are bolted on with their index dots/indents aligned. Now, rotate the engine so that the No. 1 piston is approximately at TDC. Next, the degree wheel is bolted to the crankshaft using a keyway for alignment. "Use the largest degree wheel you can find," Pletcher said. "The larger wheel has more room for the tic marks, making it more accurate, especially when it comes down to small differences."
A steel timing pointer (coat-hanger wire, for example) is mounted to the block and pointed at the degree wheel. Make sure the degree wheel's zero mark is aligned with the pointer. You may have to bend the pointer or rotate the wheel to achieve this indexing without turning the crank. With the degree wheel and pointer locked in position, you're ready to attach a piston stop to the block. "The most common problem I see is that people don't use a positive stop and only estimate top dead center (TDC)," Pletcher said. "Then the camshaft is off a long way. Finding the true TDC of the No. 1 cylinder is the most important step when degreeing a camshaft. The piston can dwell at TDC for 6 to 8 degrees of crankshaft rotation, making for a large margin for error."
Pletcher mounted a positive stop on the block over the No. 1 cylinder. There are a couple of ways to attach the positive stop. One type screws into the spark-plug hole and the other is strapped across the top of the cylinder (if the head has been removed). On the second type, which is the most accurate, a bolt extends from the stop into the cylinder bore. The bolt makes contact with the piston, stopping rotation. The bolt on the screw-in spark-plug hole stop sometimes cannot contact the piston in some of today's high-performance heads, particularly the aluminum heads, because of the spark-plug angles in such heads.
Pletcher then hand-rotated the engine clockwise until the piston made contact with the positive stop and recorded the degrees indicated on the degree wheel. In this case, it was 38 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). Next, the engine was rotated by hand in the opposite direction, counter-clockwise, until it once again made contact with the positive stop. This time, the measurement was 32 degrees after top dead center (ATDC). Add these two numbers (38 degrees BTDC and 32 degrees ATDC) together and divide by 2 (38 + 32 = 70/2 = 35). Without turning the crankshaft, move the pointer to the 35-degree ATDC mark on the degree wheel. To check that the pointer was properly set, Pletcher hand rotated the crankshaft in both directions, touching the positive stop to make sure the pointer hit the same spot on the degree wheel. Now the degree wheel and crank, when set at the zero-degree setting, marks the true top dead center of the No. 1 piston.
At 0.050 Of An Inch Next, Pletcher inserted a lifter bore dial indicator into the No. 1 cylinder intake lifter bore to measure the lift on the lobe. Make sure you are measuring the intake lobe-if you are measuring an exhaust lobe, the numbers you get will be crazy. When doing this, make sure there isn't any grease-like break-in lube on the lobes, which can skew your readings on the degree wheel.
Pletcher then hand-rotated the engine clockwise, the normal operating direction (opening side of the lobe) until the dial indicator read 0.050 inches of lift, the industry standard checking height. Pletcher recorded the reading indicated from the pointer on the degree wheel, matched it to the cam card and then hand-turned the crank clockwise again to verify the maximum lift on the cam card. As the dial indicator started to decrease, Pletcher stopped rotating the engine at 0.050 inches on the closing side of the lobe. Once again, a reading was taken and recorded from the degree wheel and matched to the cam card. Pletcher continued to rotate the engine to make sure the dial indicator returned to zero at the base circle side of the lobe. Using these two readings, you can verify that the cam is matched to the cam card's specs. "I always repeat this a minimum of twice," Pletcher said. "There's always a chance that the dial indicator slipped or the degree wheel came loose on the crankshaft. Checking your work to make sure you get the same readings will prevent problems later on."
Confirming Duration We wanted to check some of our measurements to see how they matched our cam card. To calculate duration on the No. 1 intake lobe, we took our readings at 0.050-inch and found they were 27 degrees BTDC (opening) and 59 degrees after bottom dead center (ABDC, closing). To calculate duration, add these opening and closing values (27 + 59 = 86), and then add 180 (180 is the number of degrees between TDC and BDC). This (86 + 180 = 266) equals 266 degrees duration. To find the intake lobe centerline, divide the duration (266) by 2, and then subtract the opening value (27 degrees): 266 / 2 = 133 - 27 = 106 degrees intake lobe centerline. Apply the same formula to get the exhaust lobe values, if you choose to check them.
Tools NeededMIn order to perform the task of degreeing a camshaft, you will need the following tools:
* A degree wheel. It is best to pick the largest degree wheel you can find. The larger the wheel the more accurate it is.
* A pointer to point at the degree wheel. The pointer should have a stable base that can be attached to the engine block where it will not move.
* A dial indicator with a stable base. This needs to read in 0.001-inch increments at a 11/42-inch of travel.
* A positive stop device to locate TDC. You can make one of these by using a piece of angle iron that is bolted to the block at the head bolts with a bolt protruding into the cylinder. An old spark plug with the porcelain drilled out and tapped for a bolt that will act as the positive stop can also be used when the heads are in place.
Camshaft TermsAsymmetrical Lobe: A camshaft's lobe that has a different profile on both the opening side and the closing side.
Base Circle: Is the backside (heel) of the camshaft lobe.
Centerline: The point of a lobe that has the maximum amount of lift. This is commonly used as a reference point when degreeing a camshaft.
Degree Wheel: A flat metal disk with measurement in degrees. The measurements start at 0 degrees going a full 360 degrees in increments of 1 degree or less than 1 degree. A degree wheel is bolted onto the crankshaft while in use.
Dial Indicator: A measuring instrument used to measure rotating parts, such as cam lobes.
Duration: How long a valve is open during crankshaft rotation. This is usually measured at 0.050-inch of valve lift on the opening side of the lobe to 0.050 on the closing side of the lobe because there is little airflow at low lift values. It is stated in degrees of crankshaft rotation.
Lift: The distance a valve rises off the valve seat. This can vary depending on the rocker arm ratio, valve lash and pushrod deflection.
Lobe Separation (angle): This is the degrees measured between the maximum lift on the intake lobe and the maximum lift on the exhaust lobe. This cannot be changed without regrinding the camshaft.
Positive Stop Device: A tool that is used to prevent motion beyond a given point.
Adjustment, Advancing, Or RetardingIf the camshaft isn't corresponding to the cam card, there are several methods of adjustment that will move the camshaft into the correct position. The smaller sprocket on many timing-chain sets has three or more keyways. By using any of the different keyways you can advance or retard the camshaft. When using this method, there are matching numbers on the larger sprocket that need to be matched to what you set the smaller sprocket on. Also, you can use eccentric bushings in the upper sprocket. These bushings are put in the aligning dowel pinholes and can be turned to advance or retard the camshaft timing. When using this method, the mounting holes will need to be drilled out so there is room for the gear to be rotated. Another option is the use of an offset key on the crankshaft. This method, just like the multiple keyways in the smaller sprocket, works by turning the gear to either advance or retard the camshaft timing.
Do not confuse advancing or retarding the camshaft with degreeing it. Degreeing the cam consists of checking the installed centerline location of the camshaft and the opening and closing point of the lifters at 0.050 inches on the lobe. Advancing or retarding the cam by use of cam gear bushings or the crank gear changes only the installed position of the cam relative to the crankshaft. When you change the cam's phasing, it causes all lobes to open or close sooner or later relative to the position of the crankshaft.
You might want to advance or retard your camshaft to increase performance. By advancing or retarding the cam, you can change the torque curve to better match track conditions. For example, and depending on the cam's grind, a 2-degree advance of the camshaft can move the powerband approximately 100 rpm sooner, while the same degrees of retard can cause the powerband to come on 100 rpm later.

Hi, in my program I create several dozen of quite big monochrome bitmaps (approx. 6000 x 1500 pixels). This is done in a standard way by calling
where memDC is obviously a memory DC. I need then to copy the bitmap and get a new handle. I do this by callingCode:CBitmap bmp; bmp.CreateCompatibleBitmap( &memDC, bitmapWidth, bitmapHeight);
However, the CopyImage method often fails and GetLastError returns 8 which means "not enough memory". What confuses me the most is that after this unsuccessful call I can happily create other bitmaps of the same size with the CreateCompatibleBitmap method. When there is not enough memory to copy a bitmap, shouldn't there be also not enough memory to create it? Or is there any other reason why CopyImage fails?Code:HBITMAP hBitmapNew = (HBITMAP) CopyImage( (HBITMAP) bmp.GetSafeHandle(), IMAGE_BITMAP, 0, 0, LR_MONOCHROME );

House passes gas tax increase | News
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The Maryland House of Delegates has voted to raise taxes on gasoline in the state for the first time in more than two decades.
The House voted 78-56 on Friday for the bill, which now moves to the Senate.
The measure would apply a 1 percent sales tax in July in addition to the state's 23.5-cents-per-gallon excise tax. The increase would add 3.3 cents to the price of a gallon of gas. The bill also includes an adjustment for inflation that would add another half-penny in July 2014, for a total of nearly 4 cents.
There would be another increase of 3.7 cents on Jan. 1, 2015, with another increase in July 2015.
The price would rise to about 12 cents by July 2015.

Most companies can benefit from mass customization, yet few do. The key is to think of it as a process for aligning a business with its customers' needs.
The concept of mass customization makes sense. Why wouldn't people want to be treated as individual customers, with products tailored to their specific needs? But mass customization has been trickier to implement than first anticipated, and many companies soured on the approach after a number of high-profile flops, including Levi Strauss & Co.'s failed attempt at manufacturing custom jeans. Now, executives tend to think of mass customization as a fascinating but impractical idea, the preserve of a small number of extreme cases, such as Dell Inc. in the PC market.
Our research suggests otherwise. Over the past decade, we have studied mass customization at a number of different organizations, including a survey of more than 200 manufacturing plants in eight countries. (See "About the Research.") From that investigation, we found that mass customization is not some exotic approach with limited application. Instead, it is a strategic mechanism that is applicable to most businesses, provided that it is appropriately understood and deployed. The key is to view it basically as a process for aligning an organization with its customers' needs. That is, mass customization is not about achieving some idealized state in which a company knows exactly what each customer wants and can manufacture specific, individualized goods to satisfy those demands—all at mass-production costs. Rather, it is about moving toward these goals by developing a set of organizational capabilities1 that will, over time, supplement and enrich an existing business.
That set of fundamental capabilities is threefold: (1) the ability to identify the product attributes along which customer needs diverge, (2) the ability to reuse or recombine existing organizational and value-chain resources and (3) the ability to help customers identify or build solutions to their own needs. Admittedly, the development of these capabilities requires changes that are often difficult because of powerful inertial forces in an organization, but that makes the argument more compelling: Those companies that are able to develop the capabilities will be able to enjoy long-lasting competitive advantages. In addition, we believe that many obstacles can be overcome by using a variety of approaches, and that even small improvements can reap substantial benefits.

Targeted at curing impotency, this drug - developed by the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer - has achieved almost cult status, with sales of over hundreds of thousands of pills everyday around the globe. The success of Viagra itself speaks volumes about how prevalent impotency is among men all over the world.

We have seen legendary ex North QLD Cowboy Nick Paterson, current player of the Wide Bay Crocs, wrestle players on the Rugby Field… but could he wrestle a crocodile in Australia Zoo's Animal Planet Crocoseum?
By jingo, Australia Zoo didn't find out, however, Nick himself was found in Australia Zoo getting close and cuddly with one of our baby alligators. This marked Australia Zoo's sponsorship of the Wide Bay Crocs Police Rugby League team for the fifth year running.
This ripper of a team were the proud winners of the QLD State Championships with a victory over Logan City 16–10 which was held in Townsville this year from 20th to 25th March. The team represents the North Coast Police Region including Bundaberg, Maryborough, Gympie, Sunshine Coast and Redcliff Police Districts. Australia Zoo is proud to be associated with the mighty Wide Bay Crocs who we have been sponsoring since 2002. We congratulate them on their fantastic win and hope they could hear us cheering from the Zoo CROCS RULE!

If you have a good competitive moveset for Tyranitar, post an answer below and upvote the best ones. Movesets for any of its pre-evolutions can also be shared on this thread.
Be sure to include full set details in your post, e.g. items, abilties, natures and EVs. Some detail, including the intended game mode for your set, is also appreciated. Access the full list of guidelines here.
Tyranitar Pokédex and learnset for reference.
One of my favorite Pokemon. Teach it:
Stone Edge: Great power, good chance for critical hit, STAB
Earthquake: Always a great move
Crunch: Good power, high accuracy, decent chance to lower defense, STAB, makes use of Tyranitar's high attack
Aerial Ace: Okay power, almost never misses (except for Fly etc.), deals with fighting and grass types.
I would say
Stone Edge,same reason as trachy put
Earthquake, cuz its awesome
Crunch, same reason as trachy, and
Fire Fang or Fire Punch, to cover bug, grass and ice types.
Stone Edge - STAB
Earthquake/Aerial Ace- apocalypse or coverage
Crunch - STAB
Rock Polish - BANG!
maxed Speed and Attack
Kadath (Tyranitar) (F) @ Focus Sash
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
Tyranatank, Nature: Adamant, EVs 252 attack, 140def, S.def 118 (S.def is boosted by sand stream, def is boosted by curse)
Curse(Boost that def and amazing attack)
Stone edge(STAB, DIE ice, flying, bug, and fire)
Crunch/Payback(STAB kills ghosts and psychics)
D-Dancanitar, Nature Jolly, EVs 252 attack, 252 speed, 4hp
D-Dance(Boost speed and attack)
Stone edge(STAB)
E-quake/Aerial ace(COVERAGE)
Item: Choice-scarf
Ability: Sand-stream
Nature: Adamant/Jolly
EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp
Crunch or Pursuit
This set gives him enough speed to out-run Politoed and if you run Jolly Ninetales. Stone-edge is STAB. Crunch is strong STAB while Pursuit is strategic STAB too hurt a fleeing Poltoed/Ninetales. Earthquake is for coverage. Thunder-punch is coverage specifically for destroying Poltoed the arch-nemesis of Tyranitar.
Good ol' T-tar
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Sassy
EVs: 192 HP, 252 SpD, 64 SpA
Item: Leftovers
This is a set that I've used recently on servers and in-game.
Stealth Rock: One of the best entry hazards, helps keep certain threats at bay.
Crunch/Payback: Deals good damage of T-tar's great attack stat. Helps maul Psychic and Ghost types that stay in or try to switch out when using Pursuit.
Flamethrower/Ice Beam: Makes Steel types like Ferrothorn, Scizor and co think twice about trying to come in and set up in it, or deal with predicted Gliscor switch ins and Dragon types.
Superpower/Stone Edge: Useful for hitting Rock, Ice, Dark and Normal types or another stab to hit Flying, Bug and Fire types.
Here's my variation of this pokemon, I call it Swagnitar.
Tyranitar @ Dread Plate (Basically, I have a S.S. Team)
Ability: Sand Stream
Nature: Jolly (+Spd, -SpAtk)
EVs: 252 Spd, 252 Atk, 4SpDef
Swagger- Basically a set-up for something unexpected.
Foul Play- A new move that uses the foes' base Atk, the move acts as if the target is attacking themselves, and thus is more powerful when the opponent has higher Attack, it is amplified by Swagger thus not making you all that threatened because of confusion, and STAB.
Equake- No reason needed. This skill is OP.
Ice Punch, Fang/Rock Slide/Aerial Ace- Ice to deal with weaknesses, Rockslide helps and has a chance of flinching or Aerial Ace a move that never misses. Your choice, as for me, I currently use Rockslide I feel lucky with that flinch.
Tyranitar Moveset. Adamant/Jolly Item: Life Orb/Persim Berry
Stone Edge : STAB CriticalHit Ratio 2x
Earthquake: Duh , Great power and beats everyone.
Crunch : So much power. Lowering its Defense will seriously KOHIT it. STAB
Outrage/Aerial Ace: Both of these moves are good physical attack and if I were you I would choose atleast you what. Not my choice :3
Tyranitar of death:
Aqua Tail-Catch foes off guard, great water move, coverage.
Stone Edge-Same reason.
Earthquake-You know why.
Payback killer
Ability: Sand Stream
Item: Shell Bell
Nature: Brave (+atk -speed)
EVs attack defense sp.def
Tyranitar (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Atk / 136 Def
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Substitute
- Hone Claws
- DynamicPunch
- Stone Edge
My Tyranitar is a good somewhat defensive sweeper. It can take hits while it builds speed, then it can stop opponents in their tracks. It does get annoying though, because everyone keeps forfeiting. Here's what mine knows.
Adamant Nature: +Atk,-SAtk
EVs: 252Atk, 50Spd, 108Def, 100SDef
Item: Sitrus Berry (good for surviving longer, and Tyranitar's defensive stats help)
Ability: Sand Stream (ensures they don't survive with focus sash)
-Rock Polish: raises speed 3 levels
-Rock Slide: hits 2 people in double or triple, more accurate than stone edge, and can make them flinch (works well with rock polish)
-Fire Fang: type coverage(bug, steel, grass), burn (adds with sandstorm), and can flinch
-Earthquake: because everyone needs a good power-move, but you can pick whichever else you like
p.s. One thing I've noticed is most people forget rock beats ice, but ice doesn't beat rock, so don't fear the ice types unless they know water attacks (yes, rock type attacks are still super effective on ice and water double types; no, fire fang is not). Also, tyranitar can learn ice fang and thunder fang too, so if you want more flinch moves, more status problems, or more type coverage(ice: beats ground, grass, flying; electric: beats water, flying), pick one of those.
This is what i think...
1) Flamethrower- covers grass, steel, and bug pokemon
2) Thunderbolt- covers water
3) Ice Beam- covers ground
4) Earthquake or Stone Edge- earthquake has overall good attack but stone edge has a good STAB
Adamant Nature: +Atk,-SAtk
EVs: 0Hp, 252Atk, 0Def, 0SAtk, 6SDef, 252Spd
IVs: 31 on all except for 23SAtk and 10Spd
Item: Sitrus Berry (good for surviving longer, and Tyranitar's defensive stats help)
Ability: Sand Stream (ensures they don't survive with focus sash)
-Rock Polish: raises speed 3 levels
-Rock Slide: hits 2 people in double or triple, more accurate than stone edge, and can make them flinch (works well with rock polish)
-Ice Fang: type coverage (grass, ground, flying, dragon), may freeze, may flinch
-Earthquake: because everyone needs a good power-move, but you can pick whichever else you like
p.s. One thing I've noticed is most people forget rock beats ice, but ice doesn't beat rock, so don't fear the ice types unless they know water attacks (yes, rock type attacks are still super effective on ice and water double types; no, fire is not). Also, tyranitar can learn fire fang and thunder fang too, so if you want more flinch moves, more status problems, or more type coverage(fire: beats bug, grass, steel, ice; electric: beats water, flying), pick one of those. Also, I made an earlier post similar to this one, then I realized ice fang was better than fire fang because fire takes care of steel, bug, and grass. Earthquake covers steel and rock slide covers bug, and ice fang takes care of grass, ground, and those pesky dragon types. I hope this helps.
Adamant Nature
Ability:Sand Stream
Item:Muscle Band
Shadow Claw/Dragon Claw
Iron Tail
Stone Edge/Earthquake
Allright If You Want To Have A But Kickin Tyranitar Then Make It Hold A Power Brasser, It Raises His Attack Up To Like 4 times more than the usual!! (The First Time He Leveled Up While Holding His Attack Gained 11!) But It Also Doesnt Give Him Much Speed But Hes Normally Not Fast So Yea. Next Give Him This Moveset:
Thunder Fang - For Water Types And Is Physical
Earthquake - Just Strong!
Stone Edge - Strong As Well!
Payback - Hes Gona Be Slow So He'll Go 2nd Everytime So The Power Will Double Making It Stronger Than Cruch
Hope This Helped!! :D
I was able to pull together a very strategic moveset:
Tyranitar (M)
Nature: Adamant (+A,-SA)
EVs: ATTACKER!
Ability: Sand Stream
Dragon Dance (+ 1 A, +1 S, and it corresponds with the strategy)
Ice Fang/Ice Punch (boosted by D.Dance and for type coverage)
ASSURANCE (may not sound like much, but think... boosted by D.Dance, STAB, AND with Sand Stream kicked in, there's damage caused after the first turn DOUBLING the attack power of the move the next turn. 50/2 = 25 ..... 50+25=75 (STAB) x2 (effect) = 150 base damage! Also, the D.Dance # variation will boost even further!)
Earthquake (boosted by D.Dance and more type coverage)
Type: Adamant or Jolly
EVs: Max Atk and Speed
Item: Chople Berry (Weakens fighting moves) or Shell Bell
Moves: Stone Edge (STAB)
Crunch (STAB)
Aerial Ace (Coverage)
Dragon Dance (Couple use and you're unstoppable)
For me, the best moveset is:
Tyranitar @Jolly or Adamant Nature
200 Atk, 58 Sp Def, and 252 Speed EVS.
Item: Chople Berry or Leftovers
-Dragon Dance: Raises Speed and Attack, so it'll be at a better advantage.
-Earthquake: Good move, for the most part.
-Ice Punch: Handles Flying and Grass, the two types that Earthquake won't get a hard hit on.
-Fire Punch/Aerial Ace/Crunch: The first two are for type coverage, and Crunch gives a powerful STAB move; either of those can come in handy.
I'd also recommend moves with pretty good accuracy, in general. Crazy powerful moves aren't all that good when they miss.

Product Details
Suffering has power. Sometimes power can be destructive—it can tear our hearts, wound our spirits, and leave us broken and scarred. At the same time suffering also has the positive power to transform us into people who are stronger, wiser and more compassionate—if we allow ourselves to experience God's comfort. In these studies we will discover how to meet God in the midst of our struggles and receive his strength and grace.
Getting the Most from LifeGuide® Bible Studies
Many of us long to fill our minds and our lives with Scripture. We desire to be transformed by its message. LifeGuide® Bible Studies are designed to be an exciting and challenging way to do just that. They help us to be guided by God's Word in every area of life.
How They Work
LifeGuides have a number of distinctive features. Perhaps the most important is that they are inductive rather than deductive. In other words, they lead us to discover what the Bible says rather than simply telling us what it says.
They are also thought-provoking. They help us to think about the meaning of the passage so that we can truly understand what the author is saying. The questions require more than one-word answers.
The studies are personal. Questions expose us to the promises, assurances, exhortations and challenges of God's Word. They are designed to allow the Scriptures to renew our minds so that we can be transformed by the Spirit of God. This is the ultimate goal of all Bible study.
The studies are versatile. They are designed for student, neighborhood and church groups. They are also effective for individual study.
How They're Put Together
LifeGuides also have a distinctive format. Each study need take no more than forty-five minutes in a group setting or thirty minutes in personal study—unless you choose to take more time.
The studies can be used within a quarter system in a church and fit well in a semester or trimester system on a college campus. If a guide has more than thirteen studies, it is divided into two or occasionally three parts of approximately twelve studies each.
The studies also contain leader's notes. They show how to lead a group discussion, provide additional background information on certain questions, give helpful tips on group dynamics and suggest ways to deal with problems which may arise during the discussion. With such helps, someone with little or no experience can lead an effective study.

Filmmaker Anurag Basu, who will be directing a biopic on late actor-singer Kishore Kumar, says the film is taking a lot of time and will now start next year. However, he will start another film by May this year.
"I am writing three films right now and will select one of them and then make it. This is because the biopic of Kishore Kumar will take a lot of time and now it might start next year," Basu said here on Thursday at the inauguration of Wassup Andheri Fest.
"But before that, I have to make another film. It will start soon by April or May. So the preparations for that are going on," he added.
While Ranbir Kapoor will essay the role of legendary singer Kishore Kumar, the search for a female lead to play actress Madhubala is still on.

The well engineered and attractive design creates a high end professional mini workshop system that enhances user ergonomics and content security. Our patented push-to-shut paddle action door handle make its easier to close the door by simply pushing it shut.
Retrofitting internal and after market components can be done out at any point and will not compromise the cupboards structural integrity. This allows you to modify or tailor your cupboard as your workspace or individual storage requirements change. The versatility and industrial design of this BIS405203W mini workshop cupboard allows it to undertake the most demanding storage applications within the most industrial workplace environments.
Heavy Duty Ergonomic Drawers:
The 2 x 125mm, 9 x 75mm high drawers are positioned on a 25mm pitch and mounted on telescopic 19mm ball bearing slides. Our heavy duty industrial slides allow 100% pull extension of 475mm. The slides provide a smooth, noise free opening and closing action, whilst also supporting an impressive load capacity of 80kg (UDL) per drawer. Even when fully laden the smooth drawer action is not compromised.
The 11 heavy duty drawers are constructed from industrial grade galvanised steel. Each drawer features a wide central handle that promotes the drawer profile, whilst still being ergonomic and unique to the ToolStor range.
Our well-engineered ToolStor drawers incorporate clever design and thorough product testing. Bisley ToolStor drawers have been proof tested to 80,000 continuous opening and closing cycles whilst fully laden with 80kg.
Mini Workshop Cupboard Carcass:
This well-engineered 11 drawer mini workshop cupboard has overall external dimensions of 2000Hmm x 750Wmm x 550Dmm. The laser cut and robotically assembled carcass is made using high grade cold rolled mild steel to meet the heavy duty and industrial workplace standards. Each industrial reinforced door is hung from the steel carcass using 3 heavy duty steel hinges. Each hinge provides the door with 180 degree swing motion.
This cupboard can support a top load of 1000kg (UDL). A 25mm internal pitch system within each corner of the 2000Hmm x 750Wmm x 550Dmm cupboard supports all internal components.
All front corners and edges on the 2000Hmm x 750Wmm x 550Dmm carcass are fully welded then grinded down before powder coating. This creates a flush and solid appearance whilst also providing the workshop cupboard with greater strength and structural integrity. 20.3mm thick front mouldings are constructed 5mm thicker than that of competing industrial cupboards. Heavy duty side walls provide strength and protection from side on impacts and house the industrial doors.
A 1.2mm top and base panel increases the stability, whilst the reinforced base and base struts provide superior strength and structural integrity to the cupboards carcass. The BIS405203W strong reinforced base allows the cupboard to have adjustable feet (included). These are ideal for workshop installations or for when a floor is not completely level.
Paddle Handle Locking Mechanism:
Incorporated into the distinct door profile of this 11 drawer mini workshop cupboard, is our patented paddle handle and spring loaded, 3 point slam bolt locking arrangement. The uniquely designed paddle handle provides an ergonomic opening and closing solution, whilst the 3 heavy duty door latches promote a Push-to-Shut action. These patented features allow you to open the door and push it shut with little effort required.
By replacing the traditional 3 point locking pins with slam bolt door latches, the fiddly function of lining up the pins with their relative carcass holes is no longer an issue. Subsequently the combination of the locking mechanism and the ergonomic paddle handle makes this cupboard appropriate for use under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.
Distinct ToolStor Profile:
As part of the ToolStor range, this BIS405203W cupboard features a distinctive and attractive roll formed profile that provides the range with a recognisable identity when used as either a single storage unit or as part of an integrated storage solution. This profile brings a well-engineered and modern design to a new evolution of tool storage cupboards. The rolled formed profile has a technical function by providing a protective steel channel in which the patented locking mechanism is situated.
Textured Powder Coat Finish:
The 2000Hmm x 750Wmm x 550Dmm workshop cupboard carcass is finished in a hard wearing RAL7035 light grey textured powder coat. This high quality Bisley finish completes the cupboards internal and external surfaces. The doors are available in Gentian blue (RAL5010), Crimson red (RAL3004), light grey (RAL7035) or Anthracite grey (RAL7016). The colour distinction between carcass, door and paddle handle creates a smart, contemporary and ergonomic appearance suitable for any workshop or industrial workspace. The choice of colours allow you to select one that best reflects your workspace or your approach to business.

Reviews: "This record immediately caught my attention with the opening "Trumpet Swagger", and set me up for both an artful and playful ride. The choice instruments play off of each other effortlessly. The cascading piano on "Keeping it Crisp" having a peaceful dual with a clarinet for supremecy. It's all sublime. Even on the "taps"-like "Patient Soul", you immediately feel a change in the weather, but it's still only partly cloudy with a chance of rain. You feel every sweet drop of marimba falling on the leaves and distant rooftops. FOR THE RISK OF EVERYTHING's closing track, "Trying to Find My Path", plays like a train coming into the station. You get the feeling the tour is coming to an end, but you're left with the conclusion that "it" definitely had a path all it's own. This is a fun record that has a peaceful heart and a yearning to take the inspired listener on a scenic, joy-filled ride, wherever you want it to take you".- CHRS NAVATIER "Wow I love the whole album"-Cece Chapman "Finally A Fresh Fragrance of originality blesses my ears, Jared Balogh once again slides easily to the forefront of a must-listen to album packed with excitement, originality and most of all interesting!" -ProTEC!ous INTEREST* "For the Risk of Everything," the debut commercial release by composer Jared Balogh, is a compilation of nine neo-jazzy, body rocking tunes. Set off by the first cut, "Trumpet Swagger" Balogh's artful composition builds with simple notes of ascension that evolve into a full-on groove that will have you swaying before you even catch onto the fact you've been summoned into his "swagger." And the composer never lets up from there. Balogh's second track, "Bernadine," is a sultry fantasy serenade that, like "Patient soul" which comes later, plays up Balogh's unique interplay of sounds wedged in meter, imitating a range of emotions—a mark of his craft, technically masterful and rhythmically efficient, yet dead on. The album ends, appropriately, with "Trying to Find My Path," a cool down track with a meditative feel—Balogh's signature style of a tidy wrap-up. "For the Risk of Everything" is a wonderful sampling of Balogh's musical range—through I suspect it's just that—a sampling of where this artist will take us in his next release.-Kyleelise Holmes Thomas "Jared C Balogh's music is quite puzzling. Avantgarde easy-listening. Am I hearing jazz? Classical? Loops? Carefully disguised beats? I've yet to work out quite how he does it. I've listened to a lot of Jared's music. It's easy to listen to, but perhaps not so easy to understand at once. It sometimes sounds random, but it's not. Inescapably, there is a guiding intelligence. I love music that steps over the edge like this and yet still sounds beautiful. It leaves me in a contented frame of mind. I wondered if this was simply a Pavlovian response to 'classical' phrases, but I don't think so. I've never cared for free-form jazz much....don't really care much for anything called 'jazz' after 1945....Beiderbeck has me swaying and tapping, Miles Davis or Dave Brubeck leave me cold. I mention this 'cos Jared names those 2 as primary influences here, and I am ill-equipped to comment, not knowing their music. I do know some of the 20C classical composers that inspired them, so where some might hear jazz, I'll hear Shostakovich. But Jared's music isn't that either. This album sometimes has me thinking of ELP, particularly a handful of phrases that are reminiscent of Pictures At An Exhibition (their jazz/rock version, even though the sparse instrumentation harks back to Mussorgsky). Of course, ELP were influenced by all those named above....so, typically of 21stC music, this album's influences are numerous and uncategorisable. Actually, for now, I choose to think I'm listening to deconstructed repetitive beat dance music. The beats are the bones, the piano, strings and horns the skin. You know....Music. Jared told me he thinks this album is his most "mainstream/listener friendly". That's another thing I'm not equipped to comment upon...but neither is he, I reckon. It's very pleasant to have on in the back ground, and leaves a good feeling. To actually listen it, to pay attention and trust the author, is rewarding. I recommend listening a few times, in different contexts, before thinking you appreciate what's going on here. If you want the highlights; 'Bernadine' is the single. 'Patient Soul' is subtle but worth listening to carefully. 'The Jamming Of Breakfast Blend' is clever and rather funny. The Recording Artist Formally Know As Listen With Sarah said; "it's good for the brain....could possibly cure sickness".-Peter Nelson (Womb Records, Dandelion Radio) "Jared Balogh's 'FOR THE RISK OF EVERYTHING' is a nine track album of very original contemporary compositions . Jared's musical language is an eclectic mixture of avant-garde, free jazz and minimalism; a tasty combination of elements flowing freely and imaginatively, all in perfect harmony with each other, forming a stream of musical sounds not heard before." -Jukka-Pekka Kervinen "Jared Balogh shows us that the long-forgotten art of jotting music down in actual scores via traditional notation can be as forward-thinking and powerful as designing sounds and playing with them.This album is a monument to a unique compositional voice, stylistically blending hymns, jazz, minimalism, rock into something completely distinct and unique.It's organic , it slowly builds itself into a uniified whole and it grows on the listener, rewarding him/her with 47 minutes of sheer beauty unadulterated by any petty present-day musical concerns "-Igor Jovanovic Video Patient Soul from Jared C. Balogh on Vimeo.

Doha, QATAR – Doha International Airport was this week honoured to host the 2nd Aerodrome Certification Implementation Task Force meeting of the International Civil Aviation Organisation's (ICAO) Middle East regional office.
The three-day event in the Qatari capital was aimed at fostering inter-governmental collaboration in the field of aerodrome certification and aviation safety.
The Task Force meeting brought together operational and safety experts from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates, as well as from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Discussions and working papers centred on aerodrome certification requirements for airports in the region, and processes and implementation of the mandates, in addition to future work programmes.
Doha International Airport (DIA) and Qatar's Civil Aviation Authority have jointly undertaken a very intense aerodrome certification process, and are preparing for the opening of Qatar's brand new Hamad International Airport this year.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker, who is also CEO of Doha International Airport, opened the proceedings with a welcome speech during which he said the country was looking forward to moving to Hamad International Airport this year.
He also highlighted that safety remained the topmost priority for the aviation industry – airlines and airports – and relayed the message that all related parties must work collectively for the benefit of the industry to ensure safety is paramount.
"EASA is leading by example of how effective multiple governments, together with the airport industry, can collectively put together their combined experience and expertise in the interest of enhancing aviation safety," he told delegates.
"EASA has worked in close collaboration with the national safety regulators of more than 30 European states, also with representatives of the aviation industry in our region to develop a new common aerodrome regulatory framework that will come into effect in Europe by 2014, and will also be shared with the Middle East at this time."
He also said that at the heart of DIA's efforts was the establishment of a robust Safety Management System, which is well integrated with the structure of the Qatar Airways Group and will transfer to Hamad International.
Notes to Editors:
Doha International Airport, which currently handles more than 21.1 million passengers a year, has undergone a dramatic change over the past three years, virtually doubling in size to cope with the huge demand for air travel to and from Qatar, spearheaded by the huge infrastructure improvements taking place in the country.
Hamad International Airport is the world's newest aviation hub, a world-class facility that is set to exceed expectations and redefine the passenger and transit experience.
Positioned at the edge of the Arabian Gulf, Hamad International Airport's tranquil waterside setting provides a perfect backdrop for its stylish architectural elements, underpinned by advanced airport systems. Featuring two runways, among the longest in the world, a state-of-the-art air traffic control tower, a stunning passenger terminal with a design capacity of 28 million passengers per year, over 28,000 square metres of retail and food & beverage facilities and a uniquely shaped public mosque, these are some key aspects of the modern airport complex.

2010: Odyssey Two
Let's discuss some of the technologies and technological milestones achieved between the time of the novel's first edition and now in the real world, and the fictional worlds of the book and film.
Technological hypotheses that didn't come to pass:
It was implied that at least one lunar base exisred in the late 90s. The film 2001: A Space Odyssey implies that there were at least an American one as well as a Soviet one.
The spaceships travelling to Jupiter are eqipped with nuclear fusion drives.
There is a manned spacecraft travelling to Jupiter with a crew of 10+ and rotating sections to generate artificial gravity.
People can be hybernated to be awakened when they arrive at their destination.
There are highly intelligent computers.
Technologies that now exist but weren't predicted:
Computer keyboards still look like they did in the early 80s in the film.
Flatscreens are only used for laptops. which are extremely bulky. All other television and computer displays, even on the Discovery One set are still CRTs. However, in 2001: A Space Odyssey back-projection screens were used, also on the sets of the Discovery One possibly to mimic flat screens!

I started my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in September 2014 under the supervision of Dr. Linda Vigilant. My project investigates the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), one of the most gene dense and diverse regions within higher vertebrates, which plays a critical role in the mammalian immune response, in different great ape species. My first goal is to use high-throughput sequencing to characterize MHC variation in wild-born representatives of the various subspecies of chimpanzees as well as the little-studied bonobo and infer the timing of a pathogen-induced loss of MHC diversity and how this potential loss influences the MHC based immunity in those species today. I will then use noninvasively collected DNA to extend characterization of the MHC to members of wild social communities and compare diversity within and across social groups, forest blocks, and subspecies to investigate social and ecological correlates of MHC diversity.

"I think as a batting unit we have not scored runs in the last two games. We were not attacking and the batsmen also got out due to poor shot selection. We have to score the runs which are utmost important in any ODI game," said Cook, who himself scored a meagre 17.
"We have to look and see if we are missing a trick or not. It was disappointing that no one performed. We'll be hurt for the day but we should be ready for Mohali."
India elected to field and bowled out the visitors for 155. The hosts then chased down the target with ease in 28.1 overs to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
"First of all the damage had already been done at the start. Then we needed early wickets at the start of the Indian innings which did not happen. It is frustrating when you don't play to your potential. If we want to win the series then all of us have to stand up and perform," added Cook.
On being asked about the performance of his team, Cook said: "We have an experimental squad but it is good enough to win a series. We have a couple of guys who are being rested at the moment but this is a good team."
Allrounder Ravindra Jadeja clicked again Saturday as he took three wickets in 6.2 overs with an excellent economy rate of three. He was also the man of the match in the second ODI at Kochi for his all-round performance. However, Cook said he performed well but they have also had their days.
"Yeah, Jadeja bowled well. He has had two good days but we have hit him for more than 60 runs in 10 overs in the past as well," Cook told media persons in the post-match press conference.(IANS)

|Our Mother's Day photo for 2012
It was probably in 2007 when we started this tradition. On Mother's Day my hubby takes my picture with my boys. What a great way to document their growth over the years. I only wish I started it earlier. I don't remember what gave me the idea to start this tradition. I probably read about it in some parenting magazine, but I'm glad that we do it.
Have you started any family traditions? Do you do something special for Mother's Day?

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden pays a visit to the full-fuselage shuttle trainer, a mockup that found its way from Johnson Space Center to Seattle's Museum of Flight.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden took a crawl through Memory Lane in Seattle on Tuesday during a tour of the Museum of Flight's shuttle training mockup, which he and hundreds of other astronauts used to practice their moves in preparation for their missions.
"This thing saw astronauts every single day, multiple times a day," Bolden told a small knot of journalists after he climbed in and out of the mockup's plywood cockpit.
It was Bolden's first visit to the full-fuselage trainer since it was flown in pieces from NASA's Johnson Space Center to Seattle aboard a Super Guppy cargo plane last year, and then reassembled for display at the museum's Charles Simonyi Space Gallery. The museum's backers funded the gallery's construction in hopes that NASA would donate one of its three flown shuttles to the museum — but those spacecraft went instead to museums in California, Florida and at the Smithsonian near Washington, D.C.
Seattle's wingless shuttle is one of several mockups that was used to familiarize astronauts with the layout of the actual orbiter. None of the controls actually work, but they're all in the right places, and there's a full-size payload bay that visitors can walk through. For an extra fee, museumgoers can take a "training session" that concludes with a visit to the tight quarters of the crew compartment.
"It's been sold out every weekend," said Doug King, the museum's president and CEO.
Some Seattleites might wish they had a "real" space shuttle in their aerospace-centric city, but Bolden argued that the mockup was a perfect match for the museum.
"I hope I don't get in trouble with any of the other sites, but I think the Museum of Flight won the prize when it comes to education," Bolden said, "because no other place can have somebody essentially walk in the same footsteps that John Glenn, John Young and other people walked when they go through the payload bay, or go up on the flight deck, or go on the middeck. That's actually where we trained. Nobody else is going to be able to do that, even in a flown orbiter."
Bolden is a former shuttle commander who flew on four space missions from 1986 to 1994. He and another retired astronaut, John Creighton, climbed through the mockup's hatch and up the ladder on Tuesday to revisit the cockpit where they spent so many hours preparing for flight — and to reminisce.

Senator-astronaut John Glenn talks with crew trainer Sharon Jones prior to simulating the procedures for escaping from a troubled space shuttle, during a training session at the full-fuselage trainer at Johnson Space Center in 1998.
Bolden pointed to a set of numbered bags hanging by a hatch at the top of the cockpit, and said those bags contained ropes that were thrown through the hatch so that astronauts could practice shimmying down the side of the shuttle. Today, that sounds like an outdated emergency measure — but at the time, it was an essential part of the training.
"The only thing on your mind was, 'Just don't let me fall,'" Bolden said.
The museum also features displays about the commercial successors to the shuttle — as well as a 5-ton rocket prototype donated by Amazon.com billionaire Jeff Bezos' space venture, Blue Origin, which has its headquarters in the Seattle area. During this week's visit to Seattle, Bolden is due to speak to a leadership conference at the Boeing Co., which is working on its own commercial spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Bolden said Boeing, Blue Origin and other companies might well create new monuments to spaceflight in the years to come.
"As they begin to fly," Bolden said, "and as many of them meet with success, they'll trade out a display board with an artifact."
Extra credit: Bolden climbed down the ladder from the mockup's flight deck just before I did, and he was kind enough to take hold of my shoe to guide my foot to the first rung of the ladder. This means I'm probably one of the few people in space history to be helped out of a shuttle cockpit by the top guy at NASA. Here's a fuzzy picture I posted to Twitpic, documenting the dubious achievement.

Who Pooped In The Park?
Have we run out of mysteries for teen detectives to solve? I have to admit I'm kind of obsessed with the attention to detail the illustrator took when drawing the poop pile on the cover. Not to spoil the ending, but clearly that is raccoon crap. Don't ask how I know.
Maggie Goes On A Diet
This is the story of Maggie, a chubby girl who goes on a diet, loses weight and becomes the most popular girl in school. What could possibly go wrong by sending that message to young insecure girls?
Pooh Gets Stuck
Any Winnie the Pooh related book has an awesome chance at having an inappropriate title! I mean the title alone makes it all kinds of WTF. But actually seeing a pic of Pooh being stuck in an anus-y looking hole, is the poopy icing on the turd cake. Okay, I'm poo-ed out!
Hiroshima No Pika
This is a BEAUTIFULLY illustrated book. A heart-wrenching story about a young girl dealing with the horrific aftermath of the Hiroshima nuclear bombing. Japanese kids books are HARDCORE. I feel like such a wimp for thinking the Grinch Who Stole Christmas was scary!
Who Cares About Disabled People?
I get that this book is supposed to help kids understand what being handicapped is all about. That's a good thing. But making the argument that being tall, having a special talent, eating too much and drinking are also handicaps? Uh...okay. Well, I guess drinking too much can be like a temporary handicap. Still, a hangover doesn't seem a very noble obstacle to overcome.
Don't Make Me Go Back, Mommy
This is a book about a child who doesn't wanna go back to day care. So far, so good. Because she is a victim of SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE!?! Turns out the daycare is run by a group of young witches who are torturing and molesting the children for religious reasons. Fortunately, the book includes signs for parents to look for, because apparently this is a problem that is running rampant throughout America. Yikes!
Hair In Funny Places
This books covers everything puberty. Boobs and pubes ("your mom sprouted small bosoms and hair in funny places") Menstruation ("She found a tiny drop of blood in her underpants") And Nocturnal emissions ("some sticky stuff actually came out"). If my mom had given me this book as a kid, I would have curled up into a ball and died of complete instantaneous embarrassment.
The Night Dad Went To Jail
If your dad is going to jail, I'm pretty sure a book about it isn't gonna make you feel any better. I recommend denial until you finally open up about your pain by writing a powerfully honest memoir later in life. Nothing cures childhood pain like cold hard book deal cash. I'm kind of counting on that fact

Justice Peter Tom's career — which spans over 30 years from his appointment as a Housing Court Judge to his current position as the senior justice and Acting Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department — holds a number of judicial "firsts" for an Asian American. In April, 1985, he was the first Asian American appointed to the Housing Court of the City of New York, where he disposed of more than 4,000 landlord-tenant cases. Many of Justice Tom's novel rulings in the Housing Court had significant impact over the lives of residents in New York City and received wide coverage in the New York Law Journal and various local newspapers.
In November, 1987, Justice Tom was one of the first Asian Americans elected to the Civil Court of the City of New York. In winning the Civil Court, he further broke new grounds as one of the first Asian Americans to win a county-wide contested election in Manhattan. In a landmark decision, Justice Tom utilized a 100 year old "Bawdy House Statute" (RAPAPL § 715) for the first time to evict drug dealers from residential property. Employing Judge Tom's novel ruling, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau and the City of New York established a Narcotics Eviction Part throughout the city's Civil Courts, using this statute to effectively evict drug violators from residential and commercial properties.
In November, 1990, Justice Tom became the first Asian American elected to the New York State Supreme Court in New York County. During his tenure in Supreme Court, he was assigned to the Protracted Trial Part, where he presided over complex commercial and medical malpractice trials.
In January 1994, Justice Tom became the first Asian American appointed to the Supreme Court, Appellate Division (First Department), and for the next 14 years was the only Asian American to serve in the Appellate Division of the State of New York before another Asian was appointed in 2008 to the Second Department. Justice Tom has authored over 450 legal opinions, many of which have received front page coverage in the New York Law Journal. His opinions have been regularly affirmed by the Court of Appeals, and his dissents have often been the basis of reversal in that Court. The fairness of his decisions as well as his absence of ideological constraint have been remarked upon by commentators in the New York Law Journal and by colleagues of the bench and bar. Justice Tom is the present Acting Presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department. He was also Acting Presiding Justice in 2007 and 2009.
Justice Tom is active in the Asian-American community where he was raised and still resides. He has received numerous awards, notably the Trailblazer Award from the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, the Louis D. Brandeis Award from the Jewish Lawyers Guild, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Leadership Award from the Judges and Lawyers Breast Cancer Alert as Acting Presiding Justice of the First Department, and the Asian American For Equality Leadership Award. He has also been honored and received awards from legal institutions and associations including the New York County Lawyers Association, the Association of Law Secretaries to the Justices of the Supreme and Surrogates' Courts, the Asian American Bar Association of New York, Chinese American Planning Council, New York University and Brooklyn Law School.
Justice Tom is also the first Asian American to win the New York City Golden Gloves Boxing Championship.

We continue our Protecting The Oceans series with Klaas Voget this week. Focusing on the topic of over fishing we asked him if he had seen any of this first hand, amongst other things. Read on below to see what Klaas wrote, but first, a short lesson on what overfishing is and why we should really take note.
Industrial trawlers just take out every creature – if they have use for it or not…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6nwZUkBeasWhen It Will End
On the brink of collapse of large-fish populations, commercial fleets are now having to go deeper in the ocean and even further down the food chain for suitable catches. This "fishing down" is triggering a chain reaction that is disturbing the delicate balance of the sea's biologic system.
A study of catch data published in 2006 in the journal Science grimly predicted that if fishing rates continue as they are then all the world's fisheries will have collapsed by the year 2048!

We found the skirt for you; mimic the rest with the following affordable items:
Next, Alyssa says, "I recently found this pic of Keri Hilson and my eye caught her boots..."

"...Cop them at Barneys for $525."
Kalifa says, "I saw this look on Taraji Henson and was wondering if you could find the pieces for me..."
Work Taraji's office ready steeze with the following high and low priced selections:

2015 STGCC (Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention)
Location : Sands Expo & Convention, Marina Bay Sands Hall B & C Level 1
Date : 12 - 13 September 2015
Tickets : S$19/1day or S$28/2days
Very well organised and orderly queue.
Eager fans, waiting to enter the exhibition halls, including me! Haha... I'm rushing to the Simply Toys Booth for the exclusive Astro Boy Pop Vinyl and others.
Cool and big Transformers! I stared at them for very long because my queue for Funko Pop vinyls started here and didn't move much for a long time. Then it went one round to the back of their booth and then out again. However, I feel that Simply Toys did a great job in organizing the queue and ensured no one jump queue. Thumbs Up! If you are visiting this exhibition and a Funko Pop collector, go check out their booth.
This is the first time seeing this toy line - Hero Cross. Looks good too.
The last time I attended STGCC was in 2009. Time really passed fast... five years already.
The reason I went this year was the due to the power of the funko pop vinyls exclusive.
I was glad to see many different new toyline at the event.
I like the Hero Cross and also the Star Wars egg attack toy line.
Very Cute Minion.
Interesting name!
Life sized figures - Guardian of the Galaxy!
Groot : "A flower for you!"
Visit this booth, they have very creative drawings printed on T-shirts.
Finally saw one Ultraman on display.
Convention would not be complete without Doraemon!
I see huge star wars sign, the music enters my mind! LOL!
Hmmm... so many people and not even one try to rescue me out of this arcylic box.
The force is strong.
Planning escape route tonight.
Ant Man! Very stylo milo!
Wherever there is Iron Man, there's always a crowd. Tony Stark must have lots of charm.
Amazing range of display of Hot Toys. Bravo!!
Was Han Solo ever so serious in the Star Wars episodes?
Arale Norimaki
Bruce Lee cosplay, not bad!
Cool pose, what else!
Everyone's seem to be attracted to the strong magnetic force from the floating Iron Man.
Ultra Monsters and Ultra Man!!!!!
X-Wing Fighter and Stormtrooper will go shopping one!
Huge Great Display. AWESOME!!!
Zombie Bearbrick Invasion!
Ha... these zombies does not know the power of the force!
Cool Lego MOC + Ghostbusters and their zombies. One of my favourite display.
In or Out, pack with lots and lots of people.
Overview, It's a fun event. I did not go to any autograph signing session this year though there are a few I would really like to have an autograph from them. I was too tired after queuing for the POP vinyls. New toy lines and new/old toys were for sale from different vendors. Everywhere bursting with people and most people busy snapping photographs of the cool toy displays. Lots of cosplayers around, they are very friendly and gladly lets you take their photo too. Tomorrow, it's the last day, so if you're in Singapore, it's worth a visit!
