Hey folks. Working out the details on something here and could really use the educated input from the MG Family. Planning a Test E / NPP cycle .... and before everyone flames me for mixing short and long esters let my just say that theres a reason for it. I happen to have a very nice supply of both of these so I am gonna make it work. My questions come down to pinning schedule and max oil volume per injection. Thinking of running 600mg Test E / Week with 450mg NPP / week. First off, go ahead and let me know if you all think this is too high a dose for my first dance with NPP .... but I arrived at that dose based on my body weight ....6'5" 265lbs.
Anyway .... I know that NPP needs more frequent injections per week so I am attempting to set this up with the minimal amount of pins per week. I was thinking of going M/W/F for the NPP .... and doing the Test E on the same days which is 3x per week rather than the standard 2x week. Main reasoning is to try and get r done with 3 pins a week AND be able to load both compounds into the same syringe each time. And this brings me to my next question ... just how much is the max volume you can safely pin in each location? Quads and Delts being my go-to places ... And I will probably have to add glutes to the mix now with more frequent injections.
Let me know what everyone thinks.

Kolkata, Dec.4 : A belligerent, yet watchful century by stand-in skipper Younis Khan ensured a draw between Pakistan and India on the fifth and final day of the second Test played at the Eden Gardens here.
Chasing 345 for a possible win, Pakistan was initially pegged back by India's bowlers, and were at one time precariously placed at 78 for four. With defeat staring them in the face, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousuf staged a remarkable rearguard fightback that left hosts India rueing the possibility of not having declared earlier.
Younis, standing in as captain for the injured Shoaib Malik, hit his 15th Test hundred and fifth against India. Mohammad Yousuf scored an unbeaten 44 with six boundaries. The pair added 136 for the fifth wicket, and returned unconquered to the pavilion to the applause of the their teammates and their rivals.
Both captains -- Anil Kumble and Younis Khan called it a day at 214 for 4 with half an hour of play left.
India were disappointingly lethargic, except for brief periods in the afternoon or when Anil Kumble was involved. Kumble had brought the game alive in the afternoon, with two wickets. But as the two Y's came together with another century partnership - their ninth - even Kumble's tenacity wasn't enough.
Yousuf helped himself back into some form. By tea, he was set and after it, was rarely hassled, choosing occasionally to stroke a cover drive, but opting generally to pat balls back.
The two teams now travel to Bangalore for the third and final Test of the series. (ANI)

text: OK - There are some difficulties - not insurmountable. So far I see the boss to mount the Hall/Cam Position sensor is the most involved. It seems the head for the 3B casting had a boss welded to it or manufactured during casting. Looks like I'll need to replicate this accurately. I have the different water manifolds - both engines will actually get the 3B intake. There needs to be a few additional holes drilled and tapped to move the AAN pump to the 3B block.

New Delhi, Feb 28: In an attempt to give major thrust to the infrastructure sector, finance minister Jaswant Singh today announced Rs 60,000 crore worth of project for roads, railways, ports and airport sectors.
The government has allocated an initial contribution of Rs 2,000 crore a year for the project on a flow basis in the medium term to be realised from the railway and government budgets. Singh has termed physical infrastructure as his second of the 'panch priorities'.
There is simply no alternative to providing quality roads, rail roads, ports, airports, reliable and reasonably priced power supply, safe drinking water and sanitation, said Singh
Presenting his maiden budget for the financial year 2003-04, Singh announced 48 new road projects covering 10,000 kilometres at an estimated cost of Rs 40,000 crore. These projects will be over and above the NHDP project currently underway.
These projects would be funded on a build-operate-and transfer (BOT) basis. The government will provide a subsidy in the form of an annuity flow to meet not only the shortfall between anticipated revenue and loan repayment liabilities.
He also announced four-laning at least 3,000 kilometre routes. While the North-South-East-West Corridor under National Highway Development Project would be funded through the additional levy of cess of 50 paise per litre on diesel and motor spirit.
The rural roads project under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana will receive additional funds from through the proposed additional cess on diesel of 50 paise. The government has already allocated Rs 2,325 crore for the project.
In order to provide an impetus to the railways, the government has announced a Rs 3,000 crore equity support and Rs 5,000 crore loan to the National Rail Vikas Yojana. The Railway ministry has announced setting up of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to undertake projects worth Rs 8,000 crore in Golden Quadrilateral route connecting Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta and Chennai.
This SPV will also raise debt from the market and the repayment will be earmarked over the period of amortisation. The Railway will also simultaneously undertake the safety upgradation programme in the GQ.
The government will develop the Delhi and Mumbai airports as the principal hubs of international travel to India. Two separate companies will be formed with initial equal equity participation from Airports Authority. These two companies may also invite joint venture partners for the project and on completion the management will be leased out. The government has already taken an initiative to lease out the Bangalore and Hyderabad airports to two private companies.
The government proposes to launch a comprehensive modernisation work at Jawaharlal Nehru Ports Trust (JNPT), Navi Mumbai and Cochin Port aimed to meet the international standards. JNPT and Cochin ports need dredging and modernisation and is expected to cover more than Rs 7,500 crore.
The user charges levied by the two port authorities and the additional custom flowing in after dredging and modernisation has been completed and are expected to cover the debt service obligations.

Auditions that tried hard1:03
Watch Big Brother try outs that didn't quite make the grade this time around -we salute them for having a go
UPDATE: BIG Brother has proved a hit with viewers on debut, with 1.618 million viewers tuning in to the first episode.
Read more about Big Brother and Underbelly's ratings success here.
Okay, it's certainly wasn't a shocker, but some of those house-chicks will have to tone their squealing, questionable make-up and high hair-do's down if they plan on lasting for three. Entire. Months.
Nine's Big Brother launch has all atwitter
BB under fire for being 'too white'
Game on and the glam, Balmain silver-pants wearing host, Sonia Kruger, bounded onto the stage like the seasoned (ex-pro) dancer she is, but the task of individually introducing each of the 14 housemates started to get a tad tedious.
Ninety minutes in and we'd only gotten to 10 of the current nobodies. Years ago we wouldn't have minded the wait, but not anymore. Now we can put that frustration down to our 'I want it all and I want it now' mentality, one that most avid reality TV viewers share.
The Dreamworld 'house' we saw looks pleasant enough. Plastic-like, but kind of kitschy cute and colourful with the token big pool and garden; a 'Secret Room' and the 'diary room' where the chair is colour-blocked in red and black. So very fashion now.
The first night didn't have me riveted (although the 10-year old son was immersed) with me more irritated the 14 weren't all just lumped in da house together in one swoop. I wanted to find out about these reality wannabes in a bogan Australian Story-style (with apologies to that brilliant series) with their stories being told to each other and not to the assembled audience.
Join our Big Brother live blog from 12.30pm.
Anyway, I won't bore you with describing each and every house-buddy but to me, the first guy, Michael (a 26-year copywriter) said it all. He (and other house dwellers too) are in danger of becoming too self-conscious of every move they make. At one stage he was actually talking to the cameras (well there was no-one else to at that stage). But let's face it, most have studied this reality game like an Olympic sport. Ultimately, it is a 'game' of strategy. Of sucking up to the right pals; of dissing the wrong ones and so it goes.
They all know too well there are 42 cameras and 108 microphones recording every step and every sound. But the big fuss of difference between this series and others is that each housemate has a big 'secret'. Oooh, like one is the unknown half-sister of the other? Unfortunately, nup. Their secrets are a tad more clichéd: 'I have the IQ of a genius'; 'I have Ornithophobia as a result of an emu attack'; and 'I am a multi-millionaire.' And it's up to each to find out which secret belongs to whom.
Of the intro-ed gang I quite like Sarah the car sales-woman; Layla, a Geordie Shore-kind of girl (Manchester-born actually) who already had that 'I want a bit of action glint' in her eye, which, just may happen with good sort surfer Josh, who seemed to share the same glint.
On the other hand I wasn't fussed with Angie, the sales rep (a bit too girly girl and hair-flicky for my liking) and not yet convinced by country girl, Zoe, a handsome lass who is righter than right and not too fussed about 'boat people.' Reality show rule No.1: Create conflict.
There's Charne (who works at Dracula's on the Gold Coast and wears more make-up than he ever did); then there's pretty Estelle, a law student who isn't into animal cruelty, racism or homophobia and Bradley, the 'checkout geek' who admits to issues with the opposite sex and his stutter. I really, really liked him and wondered whether he knew he had accidently auditioned for BB and not 7's reality show, Beauty and the Geek.
The other '4' (all male) housemates will be introduced into this TV social experiment this week. There's talk one has a 'vague' attachment to 'royalty'. But then so do most people living in Liechtenstein. So, with The Games over, let the other TV Games begin!
The Big Brother auditions that didn't make the grade
To those who auditioned but didn't make the grade, we salute you.
The night's #BBAU TWITTER GOLD . . .
A small cross section of some Big Brother opening like and dislike ...
@debbieschipp : And as the turkey slap dome is safely lowered, #BBAU wraps up its first night
@blahblahellis : I will gladly pay someone in the BB audience to find whoever is doing that scream and gaffa tape their mouth shut.
@BorneNaked : Funniest thing I heard all day was shark joke
@GeoffField : Enjoyed it - I like Sonia - it will grow on me !!
@FitToPrint : Why doesn't Sonia Kruger's forehead move? At all?
@SDBrook : Sure social media is going to blow all these secrets open in about, say, five seconds.
@ladyjmo : The House is so grooviii I love it. #BBAU what a start! Jx
@HelenRazer : Michael seems less of a man at this point and more of a luxurious host for lice
@jpbondi : omg the country girl has now picked her nose and feet on national television
@David Campbell73: " No action at all" I love this guy. (Bradley)
@jothornely Michael has the IQ of a genius. And the hair of a ginger Florence Henderson.
@ShellyHorton1: I've given #BBAU 20mins and I'm finding it as offensive as Sonia Kruger's silver space pants. I can't give it 5 days a week - I'm opting out
@carolinemarcus : Think Bradley got lost on the way to the Beauty and the Geek auditions.
@michaelidato : This season of Big Brother does not have many blondes. And yet the collective IQ does not appear to have lifted much ...
@MelTankardReist : Let me guess. They picked Bradley because they respected him so much.

What is your responsibility as an individual when viewing a webcast if you witness a suicide or read a post of someone talking about suicide?
- print Print
- list Cite
It's a little unclear from your question if you mean legal or social responsibility, or if this is in a professional setting or not. In any case, the humane, conscientious, moral and ethical thing to do in such a situation is to try and intervene to get the person help as quickly as possible. Both a webcast and an online post of someone threatening or attempting suicide is a public cry for help. The person is suffering from mental illness, emotional issues or depression, and wants someone to intervene, hence the public display and appeal.
Time is of the essence in these situations. A direct post/comment, etc. to discourage the person from hurting themselves is the most important. They need to see that someone does not want them to do this, even if it is a stranger. As you are doing that, it is a moral imperative that you contact the authorities, dial 911, even if the webcast is in a different locale or the person lives in another city (which is likely) it starts law enforcement intervention and they can begin to track where the person is posting from.
Consider what you would feel like if you did nothing? While the law cannot prosecute you in most cases for failing to act, such inaction could haunt a person for the rest of their lives in terms of their conscience and self worth.

The Indianapolis Colts could very well be the best team in the NFL. Let's be honest; wins over the Seattle Seahawks, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers are all really impressive. However, this Colts team has shown one glaring weakness and it doesn't have anything to do with Reggie Wayne's torn ACL.
In the last three weeks of play, Indy has been outscored by its opponent 66 to 9 in the first half! I'm sorry, but Super Bowl winning teams don't play two quarters of football — they play four. And head coach Chuck Pagano is going to learn this lesson the hard way if something doesn't change.
See: Coby Fleener Emerges As Safety Blanket For Indianapolis Colts In Yet Another Win
Besides, anyone with an inch of NFL knowledge will tell you that the postseason is a different animal when it comes to slow starts. I'll give the Colts credit for storming back to beat the Tennessee Titans on Thursday in a huge divisional match-up. However, If Indianapolis doesn't snap out of this first-half funk, then you can pencil the Colts in as a one-and-done team come playoff time for the second straight year.

Imagine if all the grape growers, vintners and wine retailers in Sonoma County had to get in line at a county office to stay in business. It'd be a crush.
Cannabis industry operators of Sonoma County are set to experience just that. County workers are preparing to be slammed Wednesday when the county will begin accepting permit applications for medical marijuana businesses, heralding the start of a new era for a regulated marijuana market in California.
"Think about it: It's an existing industry that we're essentially trying to permit in a very short amount of time," said Tim Ricard, Sonoma County's new cannabis ombudsman. "It's an exciting day for the county and it's an exciting day for our local cannabis businesses."
Sonoma County is on the leading edge with local governments that have already established rules to regulate California's

Happy Belated Birthday Marriage Equality!
Yup! Yesterday was the day! The day that the Supreme Court of the United States decided that everyone has the right to marry the one they love. It was an exciting day.
I was at work, not expecting this momentous decision to come down in the least. Everyone figured there was a decent chance it could happen, but most of us were expecting it to happen on Monday…and here it happened on a Friday morning. I was just going on my nine o'clock break and turned to Facebook and there it was. I jumped on the rider (a smaller standup version of a forklift) and dashed across the building to were my husband was working and let him know.
There was much happiness.
Also because this happened days before our first wedding anniversary—which we had to fly to Baltimore to make happen since our state of Missouri didn't not allow same-sex marriage (although they weirdly honored all marriages from other states, even same-sex marriage).
Yes, much happiness!
So much so that it inspired a whole plethora of stories. Including this one….
The first time Lucas Arrowood saw Dalton was on his way to his first day of kindergarten. His mother was walking him to school, he was very excited, and his right shoelace was flopping untied.
"Baby," said his mom. "Let's sit down and try to tie your shoe." He looked up at her, excitement temporarily squashed. He couldn't do it. Couldn't tie his shoe. And he was supposed to be able to. His mother had tried to show him out—over and over again—but he couldn't get the laces to go where they were supposed to go, and it just fell apart. He couldn't do it. If his teacher found out, would they make him go home? Would he have to wait until next year? That would be horrible!
"Hey, you can do it, it's easy!"
Lucas gave a little jump and turned around and sighed as he looked into the narrow dark eyes of the most beautiful human being he had ever seen.
"Want me to help?" the boy asked, flipping his mop of dark brown hair out of his eyes with a toss of his head. "I taught a bunch of kids last year when I was in kindergarten."
A bunch of kids hadn't known how to tie their shoes? Lucas looked up at his mother.
She smiled. "Do you want him to help?"
Then he realized something. He did want the boy to help him. He thought he would do anything the boy wanted him to do, even ask his mom to take the training wheels off his bike (which was a big scary because he was afraid of falling and getting hurt!).
"Sit down," said the boy pointing to the landscaping wall along the sidewalk. Lucas sat.
"What's your name?" asked Lucas's mother.
"Dalton Churchill. Like Winston Churchill Only it's Dalton." He smiled and Lucas knew Dalton was the most beautiful boy on the planet.
"Who's Winston Churchill?" Lucas asked.
Dalton shrugged and got down on his knees before Lucas. "I don't know. I think he's a minister. Okay now first you pull your laces up and then cross them over, like this." Dalton demonstrated.
"I can tie a knot," Lucas said, wanting very much not to look like a dope in front of Dalton. Then he frowned. "It's the other part I get mixed up on."
"That's cool," Dalton said, tying the knot. "Okay…. So here's the tricky part. First you make a loop and stick it up so it looks like a tree—see?"
Lucas nodded. He wasn't sure the upward turned loop looked much like a tree, but he wasn't going to tell Dalton that.
"Then you take the other lace and wrap it around the bottom like this—like a dog running around the tree."
Lucas smiled. "My neighbor has a dog. His name is Super Mario."
"That's a great name," Dalton said, laughing.
Then he finished showing Lucas how to tie his shoe.
"Wow," Lucas said.
But then Dalton untied the shoe.
"Hey!" cried Lucas.
"Now you do it," Dalton said. He nodded. "You can. I know you can. Easy."
Lucas wanted to yell, "No, I can't!" but he quite suddenly knew he could not disappoint the pretty boy with the beautiful eyes. He sighed. What had Dalton said about a tree? He made a loop with one of the laces.
"Just like that, but the other one. Unless you're a south paw."
Lucas looked up through his own dark bangs. "Huh?"
"South paw means left-handed."
"Oh!" Lucas giggled. "I'm not."
"Tree!" Dalton ordered—brows knitted together.
So Lucas made a loop with his shoelace.
"Yes!" Dalton said with such enthusiasm Lucas would have thought he rode down to the corner and back on his bike without training wheels. He laughed and then thought about dogs running around the base of trees. A moment later, Lucas had tied his shoe. His mother clapped.
"Yes," shouted Dalton. "I knew you could do it, Lucas."
Dalton walked the rest of the way to school with them. He also promised to walk Lucas to school the next day.
"I still think he's a little young to walking to school alone," Lucas's mother said that night over dinner.
"I'm going to marry him some day," Lucas said and dipping his fish stick in the puddle of ketchup on his plate and then taking a big bite.
His mother laughed. "You can't marry Dalton," she told him.
"Why not?" Lucas asked. Why couldn't he?
"Because boys can't marry boys," she explained.
Lucas gave her a curious look. Took another bite of his fish stick. "Why not?" he asked. It didn't make any sense.
"Boys marry girls," she said and she wasn't smiling now and that made Lucas feel funny. "Two boys can't have babies. You get married so you can have children."
"I could adopt," he said, wondering why that wasn't obvious. "Like your friend Angie. Didn't you say Angie got a baby because it didn't have a mummy to love it?"
Lucas's mother sighed in that way that told him he should really stop. But it was frustrating. He wanted to talk about it. Today he had met the boy he was going to marry one day. He knew it.
"It's not legal. A marriage in between one man and one woman."
"But what if two guys fall in love?"
She bit her lower lip. "Lucas…."
"Can we take the training wheels off my bike," he asked, changing the subject.
It worked. She laughed again. "What brought that on, honey? There's no reason to rush."
He nodded and stuffed the half fish stick that was left in his mouth.
"Lucas! You're going to choke!"
"Sowwy, Mhum," he mumbled through a mouthful of fish stick.
Why did he want to take the training wheels off his bike? Because he didn't want to look like a little kid in front of Dalton. That's why. It turned out that Dalton was a big kid. He was in first grade.
He smiled.
Because he knew what he knew.
Today he had met the boy he was going to marry.

Of course that's not all of it. There's more. A lot more.
But while I was writing—flying high over the fact that I was legally married—and began to wonder how other gay married men felt. I wondered if they felt as amazed and grateful and happy as me. And I asked a few of them. And they did. We were four men who grew up in a time where we never ever thought we would be legally married—to another man that is—and all flying high.
I asked them if they would want to join me in an anthology writing about the feelings we were experiencing. They did.
And so here we are, a year later and not only is it the first anniversary of the SCOTUS decision, and in celebration Dreamspinner Press has released our anthology. We're very, very proud of it.
I hope you'll check it out!

B.G. Thomas lives in Kansas City with his husband of more than a decade. They've been married twice. First in 2005—although it wasn't legal. They jumped the broom (as well as the sword) and were married in heart in front of their friends and loved ones. Then in 2014, they flew to Baltimore and made it legal (and couldn't have without the help of B.G.'s fans who practically funded the entire weekend!). He can't get enough of seeing that gold wedding band on his hand, even two years later. /react-text
B.G. loves romance, comedies, fantasy, science fiction, and even horror—as far as he is concerned, as long as the stories are character driven and entertaining, it doesn't matter the genre. He has gone to conventions his entire adult life where he's been lucky enough to meet many of his favorite writers. He has made up stories since he was a child; it is where he finds his joy. /react-text
Excited about the growing male/male romance market, he submitted a story and was thrilled when it was accepted in four days. Since then the stories have poured out of him. "It's like I'm somehow making up for a lifetime's worth of stories!"
Leap, and the net will appear" is his personal philosophy and his message to all. "It is never too late," he states. "Pursue your dreams. They will come true!"

Great transmission work
2 years and 35k miles, still going strong!
I love the service
Had a great experience here, everyone was very friendly and I didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of like most mechanic places. They looked at my transmission and told me what was wrong, gave me an estimate for cost and time and put fluid in my car to last me until I could drop off my car, they did not charge to look at it or for the fluid. Dropped off my car the next day and it took about two days which is what they told me and my final price for labor and parts actually came out cheaper than the estimate. Overall it was a good experience. I would recommend them for any transmission service.
Real friendly trust worthy people. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else.

The sequel to UnEnchanted has reached it's halfway point. YAY! Doesn't mean it's close to being ready for release. Because then comes the beta readers, the editing, more editing and yep, even more editing.
But to keep those of you who are waiting patiently or should I say impatiently, it is at the halfway point. But remember, I never know where the Story may lead, and it could continue longer past my intended word count goal and plot points. UH OH!
But I wanted to keep all of my fans updated.

States to Senate: Send More Federal Aid
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — States are looking to the federal government for more help balancing their budgets, but the Senate is not heeding their call.
Federal aid to the states was among the top priorities in an early Senate job creation bill, as well as in a $154 billion measure passed by the House in December. But it has fallen off the list as Senate Democrats look to craft legislation that will attract bipartisan support.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., on Thursday unveiled a jobs bill that does not contain state aid. A Senate Democratic aide said Reid hopes to back a state aid measure in the future. Republican support, however, remains questionable.
Experts and state officials say they need to know now whether they'll get more funds. Governors are currently crafting their budgets and, for many, it will be their third year of contending with massive deficits due to declining tax revenues.
States are looking at a total budget gap of $180 billion for fiscal 2011, which for most of them begins July 1. These cuts could lead to a loss of 900,000 jobs, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Economy.com.
"State and local government spending is a very important driver of the national economy, especially when the private sector is faltering," said Jon Shure, deputy director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities' State Fiscal Project.
To close this gap, governors and lawmakers will be forced to lay off state employees, cut services and postpone capital projects, said Michael Bird, federal affairs counsel for the National Conference of State Legislators.
The cutbacks will all work against an economic recovery.
Already, states laid off 44,000 workers in the 12 months ending in January, according to federal labor statistics.
In California, for instance, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing deep cuts to health care, education, the state workforce and social services programs. The governor is looking to Washington D.C. for $6.9 billion for its fiscal 2011 budget, on top of the $6 billion in stimulus funds it is using.
"We believe that providing funds to states will provide the flexibility critical to jumpstart our economy and create jobs," said Eric Alborg, communications director of the California Recovery Task Force.
Oh really, Mr. Schwarzenegger? The only places you can find to cut are the ones that will hurt people the most? Perhaps you could explain justification for this list of city employees? Keep in mind, that this list is from 2008 and the salaries of these workers have gone up nearly 50%. Unfortunately, this is not limited to just California; they are merely one example. This is going on in all states to one degree or another and within local municipalities. These municipalities are all using the same scare tactics in order to make excuses and justification for raising taxes on citizens. The REAL truth of the matter is that they merely want to line their own pockets with exorbitant salaries. Why do you think the unions are always supporting the so-called 'budget cuts'? Because they don't apply to them.
Massachusetts, meanwhile, is counting on $600 million in federal Medicaid funds that have yet to be approved by the Senate. The state needs the money to close a $3 billion budget gap for fiscal 2011, which comes on top of the $9 billion deficit it has closed over the past two years.
Without that money, "everything has to be on the table," said Cyndi Roy, budget spokeswoman for Gov. Deval Patrick.
While many Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill back another federal bailout of the states, Republicans have said they don't think it's the best way to create jobs.
A recent Congressional Budget Office report showed that sending money to the states for needs other than infrastructure does spur hiring, but not as much as increasing aid to the unemployed or cutting employers' payroll taxes.
Still, CBO Director Douglas Elmendorf said in testimony Friday that providing aid promptly would probably have a significant effect on employment and economic output.
"Without further aid from the federal government, many states would have to raise taxes or cut spending by more than they would if aid was provided," Elmendorf said. "Such actions would dampen spending by those government and by households in those states, and more state and private jobs would be lost."
Not only would state workers be impacted, but government contractors and suppliers would be too, Shure said. If the states curtain their spending, the companies that do business with them will likely downsize too.
Though the most recent version of the Senate jobs bill does not contain state aid, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Friday urged her peers on Capitol Hill to take up the issue.
"We will work to ensure that critical pieces of the House-passed Jobs for Main Street Act are enacted into law — including investments in our roads, bridges, and public transit systems, support for job training initiatives, and funding to keep police and firefighters on the streets and teachers in the classroom," Pelosi said.

Russian officials move to shut Navalny's foundation
MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's Justice Ministry said Monday it has filed a lawsuit to shut down a company used by opposition leader Alexei Navalny that is being used to finance his political campaigning.
The Justice Ministry said it has asked a Moscow court to close the Fifth Season of the Year foundation, which rents premises for Navalny's headquarters and employs campaign workers, over unspecified violations. The court is set to consider it next Monday.
Navalny has unofficially campaigned for the presidency despite an implicit ban on his candidacy due to a fraud conviction seen by many as politically driven. Election officials last month formally barred him from the March 18 vote.
While President Vladimir Putin is set to easily win the vote, his strategists want to make his performance as strong as possible and are worried about voter apathy.
Navalny has urged a boycott of the election, and tweeted Monday that the ministry's move reflects authorities' fear of what he dubbed "voters' strike."

When you are cooped up inside the city for a long time of time, you could possibly get for the point where seeing concrete, steel, and glass can allow you to weary. Luckily, in real life, just a little bit of preparation can prevent from getting stuck between flights or without reservations to get a hotel or condo. It is near a huge city but definitely in the wilderness area and away from the bustle of the city.

He is currently the Senior Vice President of Products for OnRevenue.com.
What drew you to become more involved with the Chitresh Das Dance Company & Chhandam School?
I was attracted to Kathak as a dance form because it is unique from other classical dance forms in its influences of two cultures – Hindu and Muslim. It has aspects of both pure dance and of story-telling. It is aesthetically pleasing in its movements and flow, has intricate mathematics and is closely tied to the culture of India that makes it rich. It has a wonderful mix of the athletics and aesthetics of dance and indian culture. This was one of the motivating factors for me to be involved in the organization as well as my late wife Jaiwanti, who loved to both teach and dance kathak and was instrumental in the evolution of Chhandam since 1990. But I also felt that Chhandam's Kathak had a holistic approach to life, unlike the western culture that tends to segment aspects of life into various compartments and isolate them. It has benefits for the entire family, from parents to children For someone like me who did not have a background or involvement in any form of art, it seemed a great way to mix heritage, culture, family and a dynamic performing art.
What does it mean to you personally to be a member of the Board of Directors of CDDC/Chhandam?
I feel energized in preserving and promoting the traditional elements of Indian culture which are de-emphasized in this age that we live in – promoting something which can be enjoyed for generations, preserving the legacy and perpetuating the art form and everything that it represents. It also gives me a better view of the art world in terms of knowing how other dance forms are evolving. Being a member of the Board of Directors I can actively contribute in forwarding the Mission statement of the organization – the preservation, promotion of Kathak via education, performances and collaborations.
What are the joys you find in supporting the mission and vision of CDDC/Chhandam?
This is art in action, in the sense that it needs to be practiced to be preserved. So watching children studying at the school is a great joy. The school provides the bulk of funding for the organization, but it is also the main vehicle to project Kathak across the world and across generations. So the school is really a big part of the mission, its growing, we have more students and children coming to study and then there is also a way for the youth to dance professionally via the Chhandam youth company. So for me it is the preservation of the legacy for future generations which is my biggest joy.
How have you seen the organization change over the years?
The organization has grown in many ways in the last 10 years; it's size, in collaboration and professionalism It has become rich in terms of the talent and the dedication of people throughout the organization, who are keen to propel the organization forward and the zeal of the staff. There has been a lot of hard work from Celine Schein (Executive Director) and the staff (in particular the dance company members). The support from the community and from the sponsors has grown stronger. The organization is being represented not just in the US but all over the world now and of course Panditji's continuing innovation within tradition of Kathak Yoga. The organization has grown not just in the number of students, but also the number of performances, the quality and depth of productions and it's exposure in mainstream America. In every organization, there is evolution over time. But the changes in Chhandam in terms of the adherence to the core tradition that continues to appeal not just to Indians, but everyone else. Chhandam has worked with other arts organizations and communities to help them understand Indian heritage and culture.
Any additional thoughts, comments, reflections?
I am hoping as we continue to grow we will have an institution and a home in the Bay Area that teaches all aspects of Indian culture including the language and music as well. We would like to expand to have a foundation of teachers and dance company members who would eventually be able full-time and make a reasonable living through Chhandam instead of having to balance their income with other work to support themselves.

At the end of the day, its your body and you can dress as modestly or as promiscuously as you want. That being said I think its good to find a balance. I don't think you want to dress like you re a nun nor do you want to look like your getting ready for you late night shift at the local strip club. When you find that balance you can come across as sexy while still giving off a classy and respectable vibe.10|10|0
*provocatively* not promiscuously
What's wrong with provocative? Other than that whole going to blackboard with a boner thing.
There is nothing wrong with a provocative or promiscuous girl, I just wouldn't want to marry one or bring them home to my parents.

Torah Class Old Testament Bible Study for a New Testament Understanding
Torah is the Hebrew word for the first 5 books of the Bible and it is the foundation of the Old Testament just as the Old Testament is the foundation of the New. The Old Testament (Tanach) is the Holy Scripture that Jesus (Yeshua, in Hebrew) taught from, and His Disciples referred to, since there was no New Testament until well after the time of the Apostles that succeeded Him. The Old and New Testaments are inseparable and only when used together do we have a complete, unified, divinely-inspired Bible. Torah Class cross-references the Torah and Old Testament passages with New Testament passages to reveal their seamless continuity.

VITO Mannone says Gus Poyet is the main reason Sunderland will be a Premier League football club when the 2014-15 commences.
The former Arsenal keeper was brought to Wearside last summer by ex-boss Paolo Di Canio but says he is grateful to Poyet for saving the Black Cats' skins this season.
"The manager has been massive for us," Mannone told the Echo.
"He himself would say it is all about the players because that's what he does.
"But at the end of the day, it was him who came in and organised us, it was him who came up with the way of playing and it was him who selected the players.
"He organised the club and the team properly and towards the end of the season you saw the benefit of that.
"He was trying to do things right from the very first moment he came into the club but because it takes time to adapt we were a little bit inconsistent as we tried to follow his approach.
"But I think you saw how well it went once we had adapted to it - we put that great winning run together which saved us - and that came from the manager."
Mannone is off on a well-deserved summer break now but hopes that when he returns Poyet has kept together the players who kept Sunderland in the top flight this season.
"I'm sure that we need to keep the same core of the team because I think we have a good squad," he said.
"We have a great combination of talents in the team.
"We have players who can win you a game but we also have players with character.
"Those players may not be technically perfectly yet but they can get better and they have already shown their value.
"I could run through every member of the team who kept their heads in an incredibly difficult situation.
"And despite the fact we spent so long in the bottom three, I think the club has some decent players already at Sunderland that can be built on for next season."

Computed Tomography Market by product type, application, and end-user – Opportunity Analysis, 2025
Computed Tomography (CT), also called computed axial tomography or computerized tomography, is an imaging technique that uses combinations of various X-ray images taken from different angles that produces cross-sectional images of specific internal body organs. CT images can be used for various diagnostic, research and therapeutic purposes. Computed tomography is mainly used for detect to diagnose differences in circulatory system diseases and conditions such as blood vessel aneurysm, kidney stones, blood clots, brain and head injuries, infarction, calcification, tumors, hemorrhage, internal bleeding and uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth in cancer patients. CT is advantageous over conventional 2D radiography in several ways as the images produced by CT totally eliminates the superimposition of images that are outside the area of interest. Moreover, the CT produces high resolution images that can easily differentiate between tissues that are different in their physical intensities.

Increase in prevalence of cancer and orthopedic disorders to boost growth of the global computed tomography market
According to American Cancer Society, around 1.7 million new cases of cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. in 2015, resulting in 589,430 fatalities. This high death rate could be lowered with the use of early detection and better diagnostic systems. Thus, computed tomography providing better diagnostic solutions to detect abnormal cell growth and tumors in the body is expected to show a market rise in the forecast period. Additionally, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), on an average 17.7 million people across the globe died due to cardiovascular disorders in 2015. This inadvertently creates a highly conducive environment for growth of the global computed tomography market.
The global computed tomography market can be segmented on the basis of product type, application, end user and geographical region.
On the basis of product type,
- Low Slice CT Scanner (<64 slices)
- Medium Slice CT Scanner (64 slices)
- High Slice CT Scanner (>64 slices)
On the basis of application,
- Cardiovascular Application
- Oncology
- Neurovascular Application
- Abdomen and Pelvic Application
- Pulmonary Angiogram
- Spinal Application
- Musculoskeletal Application
Based on the end user,
- Diagnostic centers
- Hospitals
- Others
North America to dominate the global computed tomography market, owing to increased
On the basis of regional segmentation, the global computed tomography market can be segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa. North America dominates the global computed tomography market owing to high spending power of the companies to come up with innovative features in the field of medical imaging as well as technological advancement. Europe and Asia Pacific are expected to exhibit rapid growth in the global computed tomography market, due to upcoming government policies and presence of various major players in the region. For instance, the U.S. FDA recently in 2017 passed a regulatory guideline which states initiative to reduce unnecessary radiation exposure from medical imaging in order to manage the risks of computed tomography (CT), fluoroscopy and nuclear medicine imaging procedures.

The increase in demand and popularity for high quality health care solutions are driving the global computed tomography market
Along with high prevalence and incidence rates of cancer and cardiovascular diseases, the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal and orthopedic disorders are also responsible to drive the global computed tomography market. A report by Science Daily suggested that 126.6 million Americans i.e. one in two adults in America is affected by some or the other musculoskeletal disorders. This suggests that the global market can be potentially driven by a large number of patients suffering from musculoskeletal disorders for the diagnosis of the malfunction and treatment pain inducing areas. In addition to this, several other factors driving the global computed tomography market includes rise in global geriatric population, growing public awareness and technological advancements in health care. However, the side effects caused due to the radiations could obstruct the market from propelling.
The key players in the global computed tomography market include GR Healthcare, Siemens Healthcare, Toshiba Medical System Corporation, Philips Health Care, Hitachi Medical Corporation, Neurologica Company Ltd., and Neusoft Medicals. Improvement in the non-invasive techniques for medical diagnostic imaging facilities and employment of strategies such as partnership, merger and acquisition are helping these companies to grab a major share in the global computed tomography market.

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by runnerman, Sep 8, 2013.
I was just looking at my phantom and saw this two little wires sticking out. Sorry newbie questions
That's a 12V aux power line that DJI have thoughtfully installed for powering external accessories, like a video transmitter. Leave it where it is if you don't need it, or pluck it out with some tweezers if you do. It's about 6-8 inches long once you pull it out.
Cool!! Thanks!
Be careful what you power with it, a lot of posts of burnt wires with a load of any sort. I have powered my Arris, ran a seperate power for my FPV transmitter.
Good advice. You can tell by the wire gauge that you're not going to pull 5 amps through there or something, but it runs my Immersion 600mw vTX just fine and the wire doesn't even get warm. And that thing pulls some decent current. I think a gimbal would be no problem. Maybe not both.
And on the soldering, obviously do a good job and put separate heat shrink on each joint.

In a surprise move today, House and Senate leaders joined together in an
unprecedented move to create a paintball field on the National Mall. The
installation is seen as a way to settle the animosities between Democrats and
Republicans that have plunged the government into gridlock.
It was rumored that the idea for the project was initiated by Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who is said to have one of the largest stockpiles of paintballs in the free world. In an interview Senator McConnell declared that the move would provide an outlet for the hostilities and frustrations that have overwhelmed many members of congress. Some have fallen victim to post traumatic stress disorder and have become unable to carry out their normal fund-raising activities.
When pressed for his reaction to the proposal, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid declared that he would "blow them all away." Although he declined to go into details, Senator Reid was overheard saying that he has commissioned a team of highly paid paintball experts to come up with an automatic paintball gun capable of firing 200 paintballs per minute.
The installation of the paintball field on the Mall is seen as an effort to built the image of the Congress as a fun-loving group. Frequent contests would be held to decide the outcome of a host of issues that have currently been stalled in committee or just not brought up for vote.
A starting date for construction has not been set due to a controversial GOP plan to erect a statue of an elephant in the center of the field. The statue, modeled after the Trojan horse, would provide shelter for Republican sharpshooters. Democrats bitterly oppose the move and plan to stall the project indefinitely.
Tickets will go on sale as soon as differences have been worked out. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Corporate Benevolent Fund to aid those corporations who have been forced to remain in
the United States and pay taxes.

Shift Your Focus from FearFriday, September 16th, 2011
Shift your focus from what makes you feel fearful. Focus instead on trusting what you find inspiring.

– Achievement.
– Focused action.
– Self-healing.
– Beauty.
– Elegance.
– Manifesting your desires.
– Motivation and energy.
– Constructive attitudes.
– A positive spirituality.
– Gratitude.
– Clarity of intention.
– Peace.

Old friend, no worries. This must be your lucky day. I'm having having a special right now. For you…today….it's…
