£67 million pot delivers new houses in North Yorkshire
3:38pm 20th September 2011
Housing leaders are celebrating a partnership which has seen £67 million come into North Yorkshire to provide housing in priority areas across the county over the last three years.
The Local Government North Yorkshire and York Housing Board saw new homes and housing improvements delivered during a period of economic crisis.
More than 1800 new affordable homes were made available; over 5000 homes benefited from improvement work; nearly 6000 families were helped to avoid homelessness; a new safe refuge for women and children escaping domestic abuse was built; 227 new specialist homes with care for the elderly were created; and eco homes developments led the way in green construction.
The programme also had a special focus on rural affordable housing, with a specialist team of enablers employed to develop 550 local homes for local people in the most rural parts of the county.
The investment – from the former Regional Housing Board and the Homes and Communities Agency – enabled North Yorkshire authorities to coordinate their plans to deliver housing in a number of priority areas.
"When we put together our investment plan in early 2007 we couldn't have known how important it was going to be to provide new affordable homes for people in need," said Cllr Richard Foster, Chair of the Housing Board.
"Our plan took us through a time of turmoil for the housing industry, and provided a much needed investment into North Yorkshire and York not just to deliver new homes but make sure existing homes are improved and safe.
"By working together we made the public investment we received stretch much further, and have delivered some excellent and much needed outcomes for local people. We know we are living in different times now, and we cannot rely on so much Central Government help in the current difficult economic circumstances. But by continuing to focus on our local priorities as a partnership of Councils and National Parks in North Yorkshire, we believe we can continue to meet the local needs of our communities, and direct our resources to good effect."
In York 538 affordable homes were delivered over the investment period. They included homes for affordable home ownership as well as rent, and supported housing for homeless people and other vulnerable groups. The investment also saw the opening in 2010 of a new extra-care home of 41 apartments as well as new bungalows on the three former 'discus' bungalow sites across the city.
In the private sector 865 homeowners over the age of 60 were made warmer. Their homes were insulated with free loft and /or cavity wall insulation; saving up to £200 on fuel bills. Where the homeowner was over the age of 70 they were also eligible for central heating. In addition more than 425 private homes were made safe and healthy after essential repairs were carried out.
- The Local Government North Yorkshire and York Housing Board is the governing body of the North Yorkshire Strategic Housing Partnership. It comprises elected Member representation from all North Yorkshire Local Authorities and National Parks, and representation from the Homes and Communities Agency.
- The North Yorkshire Housing Strategy and Local Investment Plan is available on the partnership websitewww.northyorkshirestrategichousingpartnership.co.uk


text: I sprayed a homeowners lawn with Durango, a glyphosate weed killer to kill off the entire lawn for a complete renovation. That was about 2 weeds ago. I stopped over today to use the hand sprayer to hit some green areas I missed or needed a little extra shot. It was a little breezy the day the grass was sprayed, not to bad, but where the home is, the wind swirls some. He has a couple rows of pine trees that are on average about 5 feet tall or so and I am sure overspray got on them. When over today, they showed no signs at all of discoloring yet. My question is this, if enough overspray got on them, how long does it take for it to start to show? I know it takes a fair amount to kill a tree of this size, but Im guessing some needles would turn color at least for this year. I have read in some spots that say it wont kill pine trees, and have read in other spots where it can. Im hopinh it dont hurt them. Thanks Rob

Title: Sedimentation and remobilization of radiocesium in the coastal area of Ibaraki, 70 km south of the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant
Authors: Shigeyoshi Otosaka and Takuya Kobayashi, Research Group for Environmental Science, Japan Atomic Energy Agency
Date: 13 November 2012
The accident of TEPCO's Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (1FNPP) released a large amount of anthropogenic radionuclides into the environment, and is still affecting people who are living in the surrounding regions. MEXT (2011a) reported that significant concentrations of anthropogenic radionuclides, such as iodine-131, cesium-134 (134Cs), cesium-137 (137Cs), tellurium-129m, silver-110m, niobium-95, and antimony-125, were detected from seabed sediments off the eastern regions of the main island of Japan. Since most of the short-lived radionuclides decayed to a level below the detection limit, two isotopes of radiocesium, 134Cs and 137Cs, have been considered as the major radionuclides that should be monitored […]
Niobium: 95Nb is the decay product of 95Zr (64 days), so disappearance of 95Nb in used nuclear fuel is slower than would be expected from its own 35 day halflife alone. Tiny amounts of the other isotopes may be produced as direct fission products.

I place heavy emphasis on endurance and stamina, and using your mind to push your body past where it wants to go. Nobody in my classes stops at the last ten seconds, or quits for the last push up or we start over. Boxing is about outlasting your opponent, and I use that mindset in everything I do. I also do every exercise with my classes and students, right alongside them.
I teach both cardio and instructional boxing and kickboxing, both on individual and class levels daily shared with other clients. Workouts range between 60 & 75 minutes.
Sessions include a cardio warmup, followed by body conditioning, boxing (or kickboxing) training/instruction, ab work and then stretch/cool down. We use resistance bands, medicine balls, jump
Ropes, weights, kettle bells, and various boxing/kickboxing conditioning drills and mix it up so each workout is a bit different, and always fun.

I have to disagree.
The whole thing was completely random - random attacks against each other. There was no conscious order to it on their part. They picked up boards (where did they get the boards from?) and randomly started wacking people.
It was a fight that was out of control that turned into an accidental homocide.
The camera guy was not a coward. He was exposing evil.
We are quick to judge.
Are you saying that the camera guy should have stopped the fighting between the let me say 15 plus people (I did not count) who were fighting there?
Let's be realistic.
It was accidental homicide.

Ever since Passover began (2 nights ago), breakfast has looked the same over here: matzo 'n eggs. Matzo 'n eggs is a traditional dish prepared during Passover due to Jews not eating leavened bread, and, instead, consuming [a lot of] matzo.
Jewish lesson for the day: Matzo or Matzah?
- Both words mean the same thing, itz just a different spelling. Matzo is the Ashkenaz (of France, Germany, and Eastern Europe descent) transliteration while Matzah is the Sephardic (of Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle Eastern descent) pronunciation. (source)
Being that my ancestors are from Russia and Poland, I am an Ashkenazi Jew. Some Jews call matzo 'n eggs "Matzo Brei" (translation: fried matzo), but my family always called it matzo 'n eggs. Also, matzo 'n eggs doesn't have to be eaten just during Passover. It was always a treat when my mom or dad made it anytime in the year and we often requested it. So now, Jewish or not, Passover or not, you will learn how to make this yummy dish!
- 7 matzos
- 3 eggs
- splash of milk
- dash of pepper
1. Run matzo under water to soften.
2. Beat 3 eggs in medium-sized bowl. Add splash of milk and dash of pepper.
3. Break matzos and coat in egg mixture. Let sit for a couple of minutes.
4. Pour into sprayed pan and cook on medium heat until eggs are thoroughly cooked. (Break them up and mix every so often as if you were preparing scrambled eggs.)
5. Find your favorite toppings and serve! My family always consumed matzo 'n eggs with sour cream and jelly while Jonny's family used syrup. Now, I like mixing plain greek yogurt and strawberry chia seed jam. Syrup is not bad either though. 🙂
There ya have it! You learned some more about Jewish history, traditions, Passover, and a new recipe!
PS: Week 11 Day 6's workout involves 1 hour of cardio – your choice. At some point today, that will be accomplished. Once my matzo 'n eggs digest!
What is a traditional meal you eat during the Spring? (Passover, Easter, or other) And to those celebrating: Happy Easter! 🙂

Urlacher ends 13-year career
Longtime Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher announced his retirement after 13 seasons in the NFL on Wednesday with a message on Twitter.
Urlacher walks away from football with a list of accomplishments that include an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, a five-time All-Pro and the 2005 Defensive Player of the Year award.
"Although I could continue playing, I'm not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that's up to my standards," he said. "When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after a 13-year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear.
"I want to thank all of the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I will miss my teammates, my coaches and the great Bears fans. I'm proud to say that I gave all of you everything I had every time I took the field. I will miss this great game, but I leave it with no regrets."
The Bears released Urlacher after the 2012 season when they couldn't reach agreement on a new contract. Urlacher became a free agent and apparently was open to offers from other teams but decided to close the curtain on a career what many believe will ultimately win him election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
He told the "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 that he's happy with his decision, but did admit he believes he'd still be with the franchise if former head coach Lovie Smith hadn't been fired after last season.
"One-hundred percent, I think so," he said. "My want-to would be there more, as well. I think my desire to want to play for the Bears and still be there with his staff and my teammates would be a lot more as well. I love playing for him. He made football fun. He made our locker room fun. Our meetings were a blast, and everyone looked forward to going to work, every day."
Urlacher said he did receive a contract offer from the Bears, but the amount of money wasn't enough to "put my body through what it goes through for what the offer was."
Chicago drafted Jonathan Bostic and Kaseem Greene in last month's NFL Draft, with Bostic expected to compete with veteran free-agent addition D.J. Williams for the starting job.
Urlacher, the No. 9 overall draft pick in 2000 by the Bears, played safety in college at New Mexico but moved to linebacker with the Bears and became a defensive force that helped the Bears earn one trip to the Super Bowl.
He was named the NFL defensive rookie of the year and went on to be named to eight Pro Bowls and was the NFL defensive player of the year in 2005.
"How lucky we were that Brian Urlacher was a Chicago Bear," team chairman George H. McCaskey said in a statement.
"Brian announced his retirement in the same, understated way in which he carried himself at Halas Hall the last 13 years - he simply wanted to be one of the guys and play the game he loves. But his rare ability, work ethic and passion for football put him among the greats to ever play the game. Besides superlative play on the field, he was also the unquestioned leader in the locker room, as well as the sometimes reluctant face of the franchise. Brian is a special person who represented our team and our city with skill and humility while never seeking acclaim or recognition.
"In the pantheon of Bears, Brian has earned his place alongside Halas, Grange, Nagurski, Ditka, Payton - and yes, Bill George, Butkus and Singletary.
"We congratulate Brian on a brilliant career and he will continue to be a welcomed member of the Bears Family in retirement."

Texas Education Service Centers (ESCs)
Some of the present and past employees of the Texas Education Service Centers (ESCs) want the public, the Texas legislatures, the Lt. Governor, the Attorney General as well as the Governor to know the truth about the ineffective use of money poured into the ESCs each year.
The ESC employees providing answers include directors, specialists, consultants, and general staff representing many of the ESC regions. While remaining anonymous in this report, those providing answers assure me they will gladly speak directly to state legislatures, the Lt. Governor, the Attorney General as well as the Governor. The Commissioner of Education is not on this list because he as did his predecessor, Robert Scott, supports the actions of the 20 ESCs directly or indirectly by allowing these agencies to govern themselves.
Not everyone who works at the ESCs is involved in the misappropriation of funds or the creation and promotions of Anti-American instructional materials. Many ESC employees would like the Commissioner of Education and the state legislatures to cut off all funding to the ESCs. When the "chee$e" is removed, the rats will look for "chee$e elsewhere. The ESCs can then return to being Service Centers, instead of vendors with a monopoly over instructional materials.
When action is taken against the ESCs, school supervisors will no longer have any reason for not doing their jobs. They will no longer have the "common core" look-alike programs produced and sold by the ESCs promoted by TASA. WOW! I remember how wonderful Texas education was before TASA and long before TEKS and TAKS and STAAR. Texas education was modeled by other states. The textbooks that Texas selected were also selected by other states. Now few Texas schools have real textbooks and the education standards are at rock bottom. How can our Texas Commissioner of Education show his face when students can pass state math assessments by only answering less than 40% of the questions, yet many students fail?
Q1 & Q2 refer to CSCOPE, which the ESCs now refer to as TEKS Resource Service (TRS). The ESCs have been banned from selling CSCOPE lessons.
What was the objective of the CSCOPE conventions (now called the TRS conventions)?
The ESC staffers who actually present CSCOPE workshops that have been describe them as cheer-leading sessions to build support for CSCOPE or provide general overviews that use ppts that are within the CSCOPE site.
The ESC staffers who present CSCOPE workshops generally are not invited to the CSCOPE conventions. Instead, mostly the ESCs send about a dozen ESC consultants who do no CSCOPE support work with schools using CSCOPE. These are Special Education and other specialists that never work with districts in regard to CSCOPE. We did ask why they were going and got no answer.
FYI: There is a lot of unnecessary money spent sending ESC specialists to conventions and workshops that have nothing to do with the area they work with. No one confirms that money spend on travel is necessary. No one confirms that training, even in other states, is ever used to train educators.
ESC staffers are basically kept in the dark, but are supposed to do CSCOPE workshops as well as our regular ESC workshops. No compensation is given for the extra work. As previously stated, many who attend the CSCOPE conferences do not present CSCOPE training to educators.
When the ESCs were banned from selling CSCOPE lessons, were the ESC staffers aware that the CSCOPE lessons were to be given to school districts? Also, were staffers aware that the gutted CSCOPE instruction material would continue to be sold to Texas schools?
We get few to no answers when we ask about CSCOPE. This program was brought in and we were told that it would be used. No questions asked. I can tell you that what we know about CSCOPE in-house is different from the verbiage given to the public. We get little to no clarification about what is going on —basically we know to just keep our mouths shut and don't ask questions.
Project Share– Is this something established by TEA?
FYI: Project Share is a website where Texas teachers should be able to find free instructional materials for all grades and subjects. The first materials mandated by the 81st legislature in the Rider 42 grant to be posted on the Project Share website were TEKS transition materials. These were professional development materials that compared the old TEKS for TAKS with the new revised TEKS for STAAR. Academies or teacher professional TEKS training were to be given free and the training materials were to be posted in the Project Share website. $150 MILLION dollars was given to develop materials for the Rider 42 grant math, science, ELAR, and social studies academies as well as create the Project Share website. To this day, 2/18/2015, there are Texas teachers and Texas school superintendents who are not aware that Project Share exists. Few Texas teachers attended or even knew about the Rider 42 PD academies.
Ervin Knezek was an ESC employee when CSCOPE was developed as well as when the Rider 42 grant of $150 MILLION dollars was being spent developing the Rider 42 academies and "Project Share." Knezek resigned from ESC 13 in June, 2010 and established the company Lead4Ward in Washington, State in June, 2010. What was suppose to be part of CSCOPE and wasn't is on Knezek's Lead4Ward website. What was suppose to posted on the Project Share website can be found on Knezek's Lead4Ward website.
Yes, TEA rolled Project Share out and every school district is supposed to have access.
But there are levels of access to the Project Share website. ESC staffers used Project Share like a linked-in account to share ideas or materials. This was the original idea for Project Share. Not only were the Rider 42 academy PD materials to be available, but teachers were to be able to publish materials that they found successful. Also, teachers were suppose to be able to have accounts where they could share ideas with other educators.
Interestingly, some of the ESC staffers have now been blocked to our share boxes. We had access to these share boxes last year, but now there is a public outcry about the CSCOPE lessons, a lot of information is no longer available. We are not sure why except that there is such paranoia in all the ESCs. If what is being told to the public is true about the CSCOPE lessons, why has the ESC leadership become so secretive about files that were freely accessible last year? What was open is not very hush hush and private. The directors of the ESCs seem to be concerned about information shared on the Project Share website. They must be trying to keep up with the answers they are giving about CSCOPE since they give different answers depending on who asks the question.
Overall, most consider Project Share, like the Rider 42 PD academies expensive projects that have been very ineffective. This is due to the ESCs not developing the website and TEA not following up to see that they do. Like all grant money, once the money is gone regardless if the project is not complete, the ESCs are on to doing what ever brings in more money.
The "jig" will be over if the ESCs are ever thoroughly investigated by someone who doesn't benefit in some way from the actions of the ESCs.
Did State Education Commissioner Robert Scott initiate the idea for Project Share?
The plans for Project Share apparently have been bubbling for a while. Scott was so focused on internal issues that we are not sure he was very aware of Project Share, sad to say.
The Rider 42 grant provided the initial money for Project Share, thus the ESCs were to develop the content posted on this website. Project Share is affiliated with Epsilen, which is a Common Core company. Why is TEA and the ESCs using a Common Core Company when Texas is forbidden to implement Common Core? Has everyone just turned a blind eye to what grant money is used for?
We totally agree with this– No one asks or even watches what the ESCs do. As to Common Core, TASA promotes Common Core and TASA and the ESCs work together. In fact, wha ever the ESCs sell, Texas school superintendents generally buy it because TASA promotes what the ESCs sell. TASA is after all the Texas Association of School Administrators.
Comment from Janice
Think About This!
1. The ESCs provide superintendent certification training as well as training required for School Board Members. Thus, school superintendents and school board members are indoctrinated with constructists (common core progressive) education philosophy used in creating the CSCOPE instructional materials as well as the "Vision Learning" materials sold by TASA. Of course Common Core education philosophy is used in Texas Schools, but it has different titles, such as CSCOPE a.k.a. TRS Instructional Material, and Vision Learning.
2. Texas School Superintendents and School Board Members use district school taxes to pay for their personal membership fees into private organizations (TASA/TASB) who lobby for different education bills that benefit the primary objective of TASA/TASB, which is to TRANSFORM TEXAS EDUCATION.
Yes, our Texas legislatures are swayed by TASA lobbyists as well as the Microsoft lobbyist Thomas Ratliff (illegal member of the State Board of Education) to pass bills that promote Transforming Texas Education so that it is comparable to common core.
This is part I of a series of Questions from me and Answers from ESC # 1-20 staff past and present. The following will be addressed in following parts of this series on the "Unpacking of the ESCs."
1. In Nov. 2011, Marlin school superintendent Marsha Riddlehuber and the district instructional director, Jamie Johnson would not allow me to view the content of the CSCOPE lessons used in Marlin ISD. Becca Bell the CSCOPE director also refused me access to the content of the CSCOPE lessons. Why? What were they hiding?
2. During the time that CSCOPE lessons were being sold to Texas public schools, the state comptroller, , allowed the ESCs to write their own evaluation. This is obvious since the wording of the comptrollers evaluations were word-for-word the same as publicity written by the ESCs to promote the CSCOPE materials. Did the comptroller ever ask anyone about the CSCOPE product that was not benefiting in some way?
These questions and many more will be coming soon.

Not the greatest name, since there are so many other things named seed, many of which have to do with nature or agriculture. (For example, Seed: The Untold Story, featuring Jane Goodall and others.)
However, google SEED energy and the SEED Platform from the DOE is the first hit.
I cloned the code from github and followed the Getting Started instructions on readthedocs. It went quite well, though it might have gone better if I were the kind of person to read all the instructions before starting the work. The "Quick Installation Instructions" are woefully incomplete, and may (MAY) only serve for a do-over by someone who is starting over but had everything more or less working before? I am definitely in this set: "developers who may already have their machine ready for general development." But apparently the devil is in the details, and my general development is not the same as theirs!
Much better to go through the complete install instructions for OSX, adjusting for obsolete commands (syncdb deprecated) and finding the correct way to do the equivalent as needed.
Most notably, the script start-seed.sh will be missed if you skip over these details, and it is quite useful. I also had some permission and user/role problems with postgres, but that might have been my own fault or related to my existing dev environment and django/postgres/python apps.
Once I got it up and running (which took hours, not days), I was surprised that clicking on the Getting Started Guide link on my locally running copy of the app produces a pdf that is an extremely detailed, long explanation of the web app. I don't see that anywhere else on the web pages, which is a bit surprising, but I forwarded it to the energy consultant who asked me to look at this with him to see if it will serve the needs of a client.

Congratulations,you have got yourself quite and exclusive car there!
Allthough did it matter to you that the optra might in all probability be phased out soon?
The engine bay looks good,neat and tidy and nice engine cover too.
You were right about the alloys though,never seen this design on the optra.Earlier ones looked better.
Happy driving!

I understand the Optra is dated now and even it is selling in under 200 units per month. The doubt of phasing out came to my mind but GM India has made the engines BS4 compliant.
Another thing is that with me cars are like family members and shall never be sold. The oldest as of now is 9 years old Zen & same age of my bike CBZ

I guess you should get a petes box for your ride D or d;
Check out some elantras in forum that will surprise you with that little extra power and lessened turbo lag; It has become a monster.
p.S i own an Peted Elantra and would love to see your car in NICE road
How about a drive sometime

Wonderful to see someone who does not bother about the age of the product but still prefers in buying it.
It is indeed a wonderful car and looks a step up than the Verna and ANHC. Around the same time you bought this car, I too was tempted too buy this product as i had exactly same budget but, what i bought is a different story altogether
Welcome to the Chevy family!

Drive_or_Die, don't consider Potenza GIII at all, they're noisy due to their tread pattern. Yokohama Decibel Series fit your requirement, check them out.

Absolutely Bridgestone g3s' make a lot of noise; i am using it currently on My elantra but i guess S-drive is little silent but very bad on Grip factor (again personal experience); Best i guess is; source for pp2 michelin or ps3.

If i were in your shoes i would have gone for
1) Yoko Advan neovas
2) Hankook ventus RS2
in that order, size 205/55/15 even if it lasts for 25000kms. Because your life is important than tyres life.

Drive_or_Die congrate on new buy and happy to see people buying Optra base her capabilities; as a fellow Magnum owner I vouch for her reliability and performance.
I had completed 35K and couple of time took it up to 180 KMPH without any difficulty. Indeed this best performance car on this price point.As you mentioned headlamp is really hopeless and bulb upgrade is a must. To be honest i am not happy with 90-100 also and thinking to go for 100-130 (which is not advisable considering the heat) or xenon kit
Welcome to Chevy world
On a seperate note, i am driving on Michelin Primacy, it seems to be much better then stock one interms of tyre noise

But one way, I am happy with indifferent attitude of GM India marketing; it leaves us with exclusive car (lesser on road ), hoping they do not phase it out.

Magnum Opus
Hey Drive or die, I own a Magnum too(LT Aug 2008) and I can tell you that the car is an absolute gem. I have done 28k kms so far and have driven far and wide in my Magnum Opus and she is always ready to get on road and rule it ofcourse.
Some things which I just love in the Magnum :
1.Exhilarating Power - The car is a rocket even as a stock car and I have added the Pete's tuning box and I can tell you that the performance is top notch. I have not had any vehicle overtake me on the highway unless I let them overtake me. The Pete's box also gives me the cushion of extra power when I want to overtake in overdrive , I dont need to downshift at all, one tap on the gas pedal and the car just takes off like an airplane leaving everyone behind. City driving is a pleasure too with no turbo lag. I think adding the Pete's box and the Green cotton (Storm) air filter is worth every penny.Go for it!
BTW, The FE also increases a bit. I used to get 13 on the highway and 12 in the city and now I get 14 to 14.5(highway) and 13(city) regularly. ( Reserve to reserve fuel filling)
2. Great Comfort- I've driven some long distances in my car and have never felt tired when I reached the destination. I recently did - Pune to Bangalore in 9 hours flat. ( Left at 6:30 am , arrived at 3:30 pm) and the drive was amazing and we did not feel any fatigue at all and we were 3 of us. I guess the seats are really effective and add to it the lumbar support of the driver seat gives that extra bit of comfort.
3. Rear leg room- My folks travel quite a lot in the car with me , and they never complain of the lack of leg room at the back. There is ample leg room even for someone who is 6 feet tall and doesn't restrict leg movement which is very essential on long drives.
4. Handling and Stability : I have done speeds of 195 and 200 kms( on the mumbai-pune expressway and other roads where the road and visibility was clearand after changing stock tires to Michelin PLC) and the car is as stable as a rock even at these speeds. I have never had any issues with the car losing stability when negotiating curves at 140- 150 kms. Great handling! but with non-stock tires
5. Super- Silent Cabin: The cabin is absoutely silent at low or high speeds , there are hardly any rattles or vibration which creep into the cabin and ever since I got the Michelin PLC's the ride quality and has gone up a notch , it feels much more premium and the there's absoultely no road noise heard in the cabin. I guess the underbody rust proofing also helps here.
6. Door Damping: I think the damping provided by GM is really nice , I did not have go in for any additional damping for the ICE as there was no vibration even when i upgraded from the stock speakers to Polk audio components both on front and rear doors.
7. Storage Space: I feel the the magnum has great storage space, the arm reast in the middle is just ideal and helps on long drives to rest my left arm plus it has storage for my 80 GB harddrive, remote control etc. The front and rear door pockets are quite large as well . There are other small but useful storage spaces like and underseat tray , a specks holder and the roomy boot. I have a 12 inch sub in my boot and it still comfortably holds luggage for 4 people ( 2 suitcases and 2 duffel bags with other small bags thrown in).
There are so many other plusses which I can think of , but I will stop at these for now.
Here are some issues I faced so far:
1. Brake Rotor/Disk issue: I faced this when I driving to goa. The brake would pulsate and then shudder at speeds of 80-100 kms. The shuddering was so much that the rear passengers could feel it when I braked. I callled Sundaram and they directed me to a Chevy dealership in Hubli. When I went there, the SE tested the car and told me that it was an issue with the rotors/discs and the surface not being even. They needed to skim the rotors to fix the issue. I agreed to get it done and it took them 4 hrs to get the lathe peron to skim the rotors and we finally left hubli late evening. I did not have to pay anything as I had the CPC.
2. Fuel Pump Failure: Very recently the Engine Malfunction Light came on when I driving in the city. I thought it may just be a temp issue and would go away if I restarted, but the light stayed. I took the car to sundaram and they checked the ECU with their "Tech 2" equipment, lo and behold it was the dreaded fuel pump failure. Thanfully, I have the CPC (Chevy Promise) and I got the pump replaced free of cost the same day. The thing to note here is the blue sticker on the faulty pumps of cars released in 2008, the new ones have a yellow sticker (atleast the one I got had a yellow one) . It may be a good piece of info for other 2008 Magnum owners on the forum.
These were the only 2 major issues I've had so far . To the the Magnum's credit it has never given me any problems on long drives( touch wood). I have developed a special bond with the car and every drives seems to be filled new excitement. Hope to millions of miles with my Princess.
Here are few pics of my Platinum Metallic Princess:

Thank you so much for sharing comprehensive experience.
I second your statement "I am building bond with the car". I have in fact made same statement couple of time and I am glad to read the same line in your post.
I like photos of your princess, especially the alloy wheels
I am sorry to hear about the brake & fuel pump issue. Fuel pump issue may happen because of fuel quality as well. My car came with stickers saying use only premium fuel.
Couple of issues I face due to BS4 compliant heart of my car- Long drives outside Bangalore mean I will have to fill non BS4 fuel & also Hi Speed Diesel is not commonly stocked by highway fuel stations.
On Pete's box, I am waiting for warranty to get over then K&N high performance filter with Pete's will get way in to my Optra's heart.
I did not take CPC as the one on offer would not cover beyond warranty.

This summer flew by at record speed. We were able to sneak away to one of our favorite places, Lake Eufaula, a few times this summer.
My husband spent most of his childhood summers at his grandparents' lake house. He has the very best memories of that place. Anytime we have a few days to get away (which isn't often enough), this is where he wants to go. Mark's mother, step-father, and grandmother live in the cabin now. We don't get to see them as often as we like so it is always nice when we go for a few day to visit.
The cabin is nestled in a cove on Lake Eufaula and has been a part of Mark's family since the early 70's. The cabin is beautiful, but my favorite part is getting away from everything. The internet is touch and go and it's difficult to get phone service, so I make sure to take my bathing suit and a good book!
Tristyn LOVES it. She took her best friend, Summer, this year. They swam, fished, picked wild flowers and blackberries, and road the golf cart ALL DAY LONG. They spent the majority of the days outside…being kids!!
Tristyn and her cousins stayed a week with their Grandparents this summer, too, …and had a blast. I heard they had dessert after every meal….even breakfast! 🙂 Another weekend, Tori and Chad, met us there for a few days. I can't believe I didn't get ONE picture of that weekend.
I love the fact that we have "a place" to go to. A place to relax. A place to be with family. A place to create memories that will last a lifetime for our kids, just like their daddy.
I'm sad to see summer end, but I'm thankful for all the wonderful memories we created this summer!

LINGAYEN – The Sangguniang Panlalawigan has authorized Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. to enter into and sign a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Allied Hospital Supply International Corporation and EFOTOXPRESS International Corporation and EFOTOEXPRESS Phils. Corp. for the provision of fully automated hospital facilities and equipment under a public-private partnership scheme for the provincial government hospitals of Pangasinan.
Provincial Resolution No. 1533-2015 has been approved during the SP's regular session last September 7 to allow the governor to enter into the MOA for the delivery of medical equipment composed of a fully automated chemistry analyzer, differential auto hematology analyzer and a fully automated hematology analyzer at the Lingayen District Hospital and a computed radiography at the Eastern Pangasinan District Hospital in Tayug.
Resolution author, Provincial Board Member Napoleon C. Fontelera said the provision of the equipment was under public-private partnership scheme where the machines have been offered without a cash-out from the provincial government under a contract which ends on June 30, 2016.
Fontelera said the sets of equipment will further make delivery of healthcare service better, faster and more accessible to indigent families.
Dr. Jeremy Agerico Rosario, Assistant Provincial Health Officer said the equipment enables the hospitals to upgrade their facilities specifically on the laboratory section in order to cope with the demands of the clientele.
He said the acquisition of the radiography which is a digital X-ray is also in response to the order of the Department of Health (DOH) to make all the X-ray procedures via digital system.

Ellie & Cliff are engaged and they're getting married in July at The Milestone (one of my favorite Dallas wedding venues). These two have pretty much been together for six years. They met in high school and dated long-distance throughout their college years. Last fall the two of them returned to Ellie's homecoming weekend at the University of North Carolina and it was on campus that Cliff proposed to Ellie with some of her nearest and dearest friends in town. I'm so excited to celebrate and document this amazing and fun time in their lives. I hope you love the engagement portraits we took at Lakeside Park & White Rock Lake.
Ellie & Cliff
Engagement Portraits at Lakeside Park & White Rock Lake
My two favorite people! What beautiful pictures!
Love these pics! What a good looking couple! Can't wait for the big day – love y'all!
[…] Ellie & Cliff are married! They tied the knot at The Milestone this evening and had such a fun and sweet celebration. We photographed Ellie's bridals at The Milestone, and thanks to her beautiful styling by Angie Williams of AW Wedding Hair and her amazing bouquet by Deitra of Lush Couture Floral, I was just over the moon about this portrait session. I'm seriously in love with this session and have been dying to share these. So here are just some of my favorites from her bridal portrait session. I hope you enjoy them! […]
[…] Ellie & Cliff are married! Woo hoo! They had a lovely ceremony and reception at one of my favorite Dallas wedding venues: The Milestone. Meghan and her team did such a wonderful job and honestly, Ellie and Cliff hired the most amazing team of vendors and it made their wedding day just seamless and perfect. But their friends and family really made the day great! Ellie & Cliff have a really fun and sweet relationship and I love how playful they are together and how they have fun together. Their wedding reception was pure evidence of that. I hope you enjoy viewing all of their wedding photographs! […]

The punk fashion has been around for quite a long time now. This style is not only involved clothing, but also hairstyles, jewelry and cosmetics as well. The people who follow Punk Fashion are commonly known as the "punks".
You might have seen a lot of kids in your school go punk.
This is quite an extreme style of fashion and a lot of people look at it with contempt. When this fashion was started in the 1970's the purpose was to shock the people and it worked very well. People who wanted to stand out from the crowd became the followers of this fashion and it has been around since then.
The punk fashion in 1970's was much milder than it is now. Over the years as fashion became bolder, new things were added to the category of punk fashion. In the early years, punk fashion involved wearing tee shirts with extremely offensive symbols. The clothes were intentionally torn to make it appear that the model had a complete disregard for wearing clothes that were proper and formal.
Military boots, jackets and leather jeans were all a part of punk style of clothing. They are still worn by a lot of punks. When it comes to the hairstyles, the punks mostly like to keep their hair messy. You might also have seen punks with their hair dyed in most outrageous colors such as pink, green, purple and orange among many others. Boys like to make spikes out of their hair.
Jewelry is also an important part of the punk fashion. People who follow the punk fashion like to wear studded jewelry and heavy chains all the time. Body piercing is quite common among the punks. Makeup is worn by both males and females who adopt the punk style.
Thick eyeliner and dark lipsticks are the two essential parts of punk make up. Punk fashion mostly involves wearing a combination of clothing. You need to be really creative how to mix both masculine and feminine articles together. Although a lot of people consider punks to be weird, but the punk fashion is still quite fascinating to see.

Tips & Tricks
Don't Get Fooled When You Buy Online
Today while I searching offers and deals on different etailers in India, I just came across ebay's deals page. I was amazed to see attractive offers and deals on different category of products that can easily convince you to buy that product online.
Here is the screenshot of their deals page:
Entitled with "mega gadget sale" that start from 7% to 75% discount (this is what I manually found on different products). Then I thought to compare the price of few ebay products with other online sellers like Amazon.in. I was surprised to see that the price and the way ebay is making us fool by displaying huge discount.
Let me explain in details
I took a product named "D-Link DIR-600L Wireless N 150" which is under huge discount on ebay. See below image which stat that the old price of this router is
Rs 2730 and now available at just Rs 1221 (at 55% discount)! At first glance it looks attractive right? But I thought to check price on Amazon.in
Then I open Amazon.in and search for the same product. You must be surprised to see that the same product was available at just Rs
1295.30 previously and now after discount, it is available at just Rs 1049
Due to festival, most of the eCommerce website starts promoting their product with various deals and offer. But the way eBay is promoting is really surprising for me. Most of the buyers see the % of discount and hardly compare the price on different website and get fooled by seller.
I have been working with big eCommerce vendor since long and I know many vendors are practice such techniques to acquire customers but I never expected this from eBay. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend following below steps before you make your online purchase decision:
- Once you finalized the product, go to different vendor selling same products online.

The ballad is at the intersection of poetry and song, from traditional folk ballads crystallizing out of the mists of the ancient oral tradition to modern literary ballads in which poets use the old narrative forms to retell traditional legends or to tell stories of their own.

Notes on the Evolution of Balladry

A ballad is simply a narrative poem or song, and there are many variations of balladry. Traditional folk ballads began with the anonymous wandering minstrels of the Middle Ages, who handed down stories and legends in these poem-songs, using a structure of stanzas and repeated refrains to remember, retell and embellish local tales. Many of these folk ballads were collected in the 17th and 18th centuries by scholars like Harvard professor Francis James Child and poets like Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Two of the ballads in our collection are examples of this type of traditional ballad, anonymous retellings of local legends: the spooky fairy tale "Tam Lin" and "Lord Randall," which reveals the story of a murder in the question-and-answer dialogue between a mother and son. Folk ballads also told love stories both tragic and happy, tales of religion and the supernatural, and recountings of historical events.

Most ballads are structured in short stanzas, often the quatrain form that has come to be known as "ballad measure"—alternating lines of iambic tetrameter (four stressed beats, da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM) and iambic trimeter (three stressed beats, da DUM da DUM da DUM), rhyming the 2nd and 4th lines of each stanza. Other ballads combine the four lines into two, forming rhymed couplets of seven-stress lines that are sometimes called "fourteeners." But "ballad" is a general type of poem, not necessarily a fixed poetic form, and many ballad poems take liberties with the ballad stanza, or abandon it altogether.

After the 16th-century invention of inexpensive printing, ballads moved from the oral tradition onto newsprint. Broadside ballads were "poetry as news," commenting on the events of the day—although many of the traditional folk ballads were also distributed as broadsides in print.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Romantic and Victorian poets took hold of this folk-song form and wrote literary ballads, telling their own stories as Robert Burns did in "The Lass that Made the Bed to Me" and Christina Rossetti did in "Maude Clare"—or reimagining old legends, as Alfred, Lord Tennyson did with part of the Arthurian story in "The Lady of Shalott." Ballads carry tales of tragic romance (Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee"), of the honor of warriors (Rudyard Kipling's "The Ballad of East and West"), of the despair of poverty (William Butler Yeats' "The Ballad of Moll Magee"), of the secrets of brewing (Robert Louis Stevenson's "Heather Ale: A Galloway Legend"), and of conversations across the divide between life and death (Thomas Hardy's "Her Immortality").... The combination of narrative propulsion, implied melody (ballads are often and very naturally set to music), and archetypal stories is irresistable.

Raymond James Reiterates Market Perform Rating on BlackBerry Following 10-Q Filing
In a report published Wednesday, Raymond James analyst Steven Li reiterated a Market Perform rating on BlackBerry Ltd. (NASDAQ: BBRY).
In the report, Raymond James noted, "Last night BBRY filed their 10-Q to provide more details on its F2Q14. The Fairfax consortium has offered an LOI to take BBRY private at $9/share. Shareholders no doubt are disappointed with the lack of a price premium. However, BBRY is quickly running out of options especially following the disastrous F2Q14 results. We note the Board (who has significantly more information than we do about the state of affairs at BBRY) has approved the $9 offer. Fairfax is expected to complete its due diligence by November 4. We are not expecting a higher offer and maintain our Market Perform rating."
BlackBerry Ltd. closed on Tuesday at $7.92.

Promoter Gets 4 Years in Prison for Deaths at 2012 Steve Aoki Show
On Halloween 2012, tragedy struck a Steve Aoki show at the Madrid Arena killing 5 concert attendees.
The Thriller Music Park event which was thrown by Spanish nightclub promoter Miguel Ángel Flores was found to have been over-sold by 6,000 tickets.
El Mundo reports that the Spanish courts have charged Flores with 5 homicides by gross negligence and 29 counts of injury, resulting in a maximum 4 year prison sentence. The courts condemned Flores for ignoring the building's structural integrity by overselling the venue to maximize the event's economic benefit.
The grossly oversold event resulted in the the death of 5 individuals who were killed following a crowd stampede from a lit flare. Attendees rushed towards emergency exit doors that had already been oversaturated by panicked crowds. It took the venue three hours to clear the crowds, by which time 29 people had been injured in addition to the five fatalities.
The courts have also ordered that the families of the individuals killed will each receive €350,000 in compensation. The other injured individuals will receive compensation adequate for their injuries.
In addition to Flores, 6 other associates of the event received prison sentences for their negligence.

The Uzbeki side Bunyodkor is probably the richest club in Asia, but they have still yet to prove their worth on the pitch.
Pressure is on Scolari
Past experience tells us that the best team does not always win the Asian Champions League but one question that could be answered as the competition moves to the quarter-final stage is this: are Bunyodkor, probably Asia's richest club off the pitch, also the strongest on it?
The Uzbeks host South Korea's Pohang Steelers in the first leg of their tie today. Not only do they boast a World Cup-winning coach in the form of Luiz Felipe Scolari (and reputedly the highest-paid coach in the world, too) they also have 1999 World Player of the Year Rivaldo. The former Barcelona star is 37 but is the league's top scorer with 19 goals this season and is surrounded by virtually the entire Uzbekistan national team, including the likes of the 2008 Asian Player of the Year Server Djeparov, goalkeeper Ignatiy Nesterov and veteran forward Anvarjon Soliev.
But that statement is put into perspective by the fact Uzbekistan finished bottom of World Cup qualifying that included Australian, Japan, Bahrain and Qatar. Bunyodkor have increased their domestic superiority by signing the leading players from their rivals Pakhtakor, who play Saudi side Al Ittihad tomorrow in the first leg of their quarter-final. Taking such players has rendered the title race a one-horse contest; Bunyodkor have won all 23 games and are 18 points clear.
The Champions League is where the true test lies and how Scolari, the former Chelsea manager, prepares his men for what will be a tough test. Given Bunyodkor's ambitions for the Asian title and a crack at Fifa's Club World Cup to be held in Abu Dhabi in December, the pressure is on the big-spending Central Asia side. "Pohang have a Brazilian star, Denilson, in their squad and their coach Sergio Farias is well known, so we should take Pohang very seriously and not treat them like a usual rival," warned Rivaldo.
Pohang are in great form and last week had the biggest win in the K-League's 26-year history beating Jeju United 8-1. The team has also won the League Cup. They are known as a team with no big names but fringe national team players such as Choi Hyo-jin, the former Paris Saint-German and Feyenoord forward Denilson and Macedonian marksman Stevica Ristic, besides the rising Yoo Chang-hyun. "We've prepared seriously for this match and our last three matches were all part of our preparation," said Farias, who also guided the Steelers to victory in the 2007 K-League and last year's FA Cup.
"We're doing well domestically, but our priority is the Asian Champions League. Bunyodkor are very strong with Scolari and Rivaldo, but other players are dangerous. We come to win, but a draw would also be a good result for us. Most importantly, we must score an away goal," Farias added. Elsewhere, Pohang's K-league rivals FC Seoul are in Qatar to face Umm Salal while Nagoya Grampus and Kawasaki Frontale play out an all-Japanese affair.

Payers are more concerned with how drugs work in the real world than in controlled trial environments. Unfortunately, real-world data is expensive to collect. Fortunately, there are databases filled with real-world evidence that developers can use to support their value case in their submissions.
When it comes to approving a new drug, regulators are looking for evidence of efficacy (the drug's desired effect) and safety (the drug's undesirable effects, and how serious they may be). Payers, however, may have additional interests.
They are less concerned with how the drug works in a controlled trial environment than with how it will work in the real world, in real settings, with real patients living real lives. And, most assuredly, they are looking at the price the developer is proposing to charge for the drug. Often they will want to know whether it is cost-effective. That, too, largely depends upon how it performs—and the costs that attach to it—in the real world.

The Vampire Diaries star couldn't help but to gush over her BFF Julianne Hough, showing appreciation for their friendship before the holiday hit.
"Giving thanks. For friends. Family. Love. Life. Oh and food. Hot coco. Fireplaces. Crisp winter air. Laughter. Sleeping in. @juliannehough," Nina wrote on her WhoSay page Sunday, along with a photo of herself by a fireplace with Julianne.
"Also thankful for @juleshough -friend who has become family. And to her amazing family who has welcomed and treated me like one of their own," she continued.
Speaking of Julianne's family, Nina was rumored to be dating Julianne's brother, Derek, just a couple of months ago.
Although they never confirmed their supposed relationship themselves, the duo reportedly ended their fling after just six weeks of dating, according to various reports.
It looks like the Dancing With the Stars hoofer wasn't around for the pre-Thanksgiving festivities, though.
While Nina and Julianne were enjoying some serious grub with the Houghs Sunday, Derek was on the set of the reality dance competition show in Los Angeles.

General Motors has announced it will buy back Chevrolet Volts from owners who fear the car poses a fire hazard, after a U.S. safety investigation of the car's lithium-ion battery revealed it is prone to catching fire.
The offer comes after GM announced earlier this week it would offer loaner cars to 6,000 U.S. Volt owners to reassure them. GM said that 33 Volt owners asked for loaner car as of Thursday morning. So far no customer has returned the Volt. "If someone asks, we'll snap it up in a second," GM spokesman Selim Bingol was quoted by Wall Street Journal. He added GM is confident the car is safe, but also wants to ensure Volt customers are comfortable with their vehicle.
So far, Chevrolet Volt sales fell short of expectations. GM said it will not meet the sales target of 10,000 Volts in 2011, but will likely reach that number next year. Chevrolet sold 1,139 Volts in November, bringing sales to 6,142 this year.
GM has 134 days' supply of the Volt, which is considered high, taking into account that Nissan has a 21-day supply of the Volt's rival, the Leaf. Nissan's EV outsold the Volt so far this year, with a total of 8,720 units, 2,500 more than the Volt. However, in the last two months, Nissan sold 672 Leafs, about half of Volt sales.

Green Olive Vinegarette-Marinate
Lisa G. Sweet Pantry Gal
I use to go to an Italian restaurant near my old apartment and they always served there salads with green olives. Just by adding these gave a wonderful flavor to the salads. For that reason I always added green olives to my salads. I thought why not just make my dressing with the olives. This is my vinegarette I came up with. Not only great on salads but makes a great marinate for chicken or steaks.The best on antipastas and greek pitas. Lasts refrigerated for weeks!
Hope You enjoy!

Cheese Merchants introduces new brands
Cheese Merchants of America, a cheese supplier to the foodservice and retail industries, has announced a change in its cheese brands: Mama Francesca is now Cheese Merchant's no. 1 premium brand and Marano Select is the company's new foodservice blended line.
According to a company press release, the new brand strategy also includes the elimination of the original foodservice brand: Cucina Andolina. Cheese Merchants Executive Vice President Jim Smart said the changes were part of an initiative to review the product lines, marketing and brands.
"We celebrated our 15th anniversary last year and took a hard look on what we've accomplished and our strategies for long-term sustainable growth," he said. "We developed the new brands to simplify the product offerings in order to better serve the changing needs of customers and the marketplace we compete in."
In analyzing the brands, CMA realized that Mama Francesca conveyed one message in foodservice and another in retail. This new brand strategy will close out the original foodservice brand, Cucina Andolina and replace Mama Francesca as the no. 1, premium brand; regardless where it is sold. "Mama Fran" contains zero additives, the release said.
In conjunction with this product consolidation, Cheese Merchants is also introducing new packaging for its cheese brands. The new brands will be introduced in the spring.
