6 places to visit in Japantown, S.F.
In Japantown, young cherry trees reveal their delicate, pale pink blooms. Beginning this weekend, the community celebrates spring and the beauty of Japanese American culture during the 47th annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival. The four-day event features a Grand Parade, taiko drummers, live dance performances, martial arts demonstrations, food booths and much more.
1. Origami Fountains
Post Street: (Nihonmachi Mall): In 1976, the late sculptor Ruth Asawa created two Cor-Ten steel fountains representing lotus blooms, with a design influenced by origami. A pattern of bricks winds like a river beneath the works, also known as the Buchanan Mall Fountain, and later cast in bronze during their restoration. www.ruthasawa.com.
2. National Japanese American Historical Society
1684 Post St.: The nonprofit National Japanese American Historical Society collects and preserves artifacts relating to the Japanese American experience. Its Peace Gallery displays exhibitions including "Blossoms & Thorns: A Community Uprooted," through December. It also hosts panel discussions, workshops and film screenings. (415) 921-5007. www.njahs.org.
3. Daikoku by Shiki
1737 Post St.: Fine quality pieces of Japanese pottery such as Shigaraki ware, Mashiko pottery and Arita ceramics line the shelves of Daikoku by Shiki, which focuses upon beautifully detailed tea sets, dishes painted with images of kittens and rabbits, and Maneki Neko (Japanese lucky cat) figurines. (415) 563-4550.
4. Yumi Boutique
1737 Post St.: If you need to add a bit of sparkle to a special occasion ensemble or some bling to your everyday wardrobe, stop by this super girlie accessories boutique. It carries feather and ribbon-embellished fascinators, fetching jewel-toned Venetian style masks and oodles of glittering hair adornments. (415) 346-8288.
5. Mifune
1737 Post St.: Savor a steaming bowl of udon or soba noodles submersed in a seasoned broth with a choice of garnishes ranging from fish cakes to shrimp tempura to beef. Mifune makes its noodles using a 90-year-old recipe and offers a low-key atmosphere with booths, tables and poppy-colored walls. (415) 922-0337. www.mifune.com.
6. Harajuku SF
22 Peace Plaza: Plaid newsboy hats, graphic tees and short, sleeveless dresses are among the contemporary, urban-style women's clothing options at this boutique, rather than the expected Harajuku fashions. The international labels here represent designers from around the world including Cop. Copine and Vivienne Westwood. (415) 567-9233. www.harajukusf.com.
Very limited street parking. A better bet is one of the public parking garages including the Japan Center Garage (1610 Geary Blvd.) and the Japan Center Annex Garage (Fillmore St., between Post and Geary.)
Getting There
Public transit: From the Powell Street BART/Muni Station, walk north on Powell Street to Geary Street and take Muni's 38 or 38L to Geary and Laguna streets. Walk north on Laguna Street and turn left on Post Street. Muni's 2-Clement and 3-Jackson routes also serve the area. www.bart.gov, www.sfmta.com.
By car from the Peninsula: Take Highway 101 north and continue on the Central Freeway. Take the Octavia Boulevard exit and turn left on Fell Street. Then turn right on Laguna Street and left on Post Street.
Good to Know
The 47th annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival takes place on Saturday and Sunday and April 19-20. The Grand Parade begins at 1 p.m. April 20 at Civic Center and ends in Japantown. The festival takes place along Post Street between Laguna and Fillmore streets. www.sfcherryblossom.org.

A one-sided deal?
While the identity of a potential team owner of the 20th MLS team remains under wraps, it is widely expected to be a big name who can help bankroll the 25,000-seat venue in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
The stadium is considered a legacy project for the Bloomberg administration, which has outlined terms of a prospective deal: a 35-year, $1-a-year lease, with no sales taxes on construction materials, no property taxes and no revenue sharing with the city. The plan also requires an agreement to share parking lots with Citi Field. Events at the new soccer stadium would be scheduled to avoid conflicts with Mets home games and U.S. Open tennis.
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for Major League Soccer. What are the benefits for us taxpayers?
11 comments:
David Beckham has an automatic buy-in deal for a franchise at the end of his playing contract, which is coincidentally up this season (doubtful he'll play another year). MLS is gonna bankroll a substantive chunk of the deal for him, and use the "star power" factor to continue to trump up the outright lie that this is a good idea.

"Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for Major League Soccer. What are the benefits for us taxpayers?"
More traffic and congestion. Theft of our tax money. Par for the course, isn't it?
- Friday, November 23, 2012
the "Cosmos" had extreme star power with PELE ,BECKENBAUER, Coniglia and world players ETC. but the sport failed in NYC in the late 1970's.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
The benefits to us taxpayers, I suppose, is that we'll get advance notice before being told to strip and bend over!
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Maybe Colombian drug cartel money will finance it.

The potential fans/customers don't have the $$$ for tickets. They play the sport but can't afford tickets..........
- Friday, November 23, 2012
What's changed from the 1970's in the economics of Soccer? The paychecks the stars want and get will eventually bankrupt the teams and the league. We will never get that parkland back.
Why can't it be located in any other stadium, it is not as if all of them are being used 365 days in year.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Put this stadium in Far Rockaway if MLS want such a sweetheart deal!
Otherwise there is no public benefit at all? Explain that to me?
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Anon No. 3: And Giorgio Chinaglia (although he was a nasty guy). But the rest of the league didn't build for the long term and those guys got old.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Soccer? Who plays soccer? Who would pay $50 to watch soccer? Come on, who are they kidding? Even the television media will not air a soccer game. We've been down this road before. Talk of a soccer stadium is just pie in the sky!
- Saturday, November 24, 2012
Everyone welcome the newest MLS team : The Flushing MS13's!!!

Computer-based GIS lab sessions from Esri Press complement geospatial education.
Designed for a broad range of disciplines, SpatiaLABS complements and enhances an instructor's course with self-directed investigations that help students increase their spatial reasoning and analytical skills.
Created by educators and peer reviewed, SpatiaLABS provides students in the physical, social, and applied sciences with 64 lessons on topics including environmental studies, business, urban studies, and spatial statistics. Students develop GIS and cartography skills during these investigations; however, the primary objective of SpatiaLABS is to teach students how to approach and solve geospatial problems.
Although each activity has been written with skill prerequisites in mind—from no GIS ability to advanced GIS project experience—SpatiaLABS exercises are customizable, allowing educators to adapt them to student capabilities or use local data, when appropriate.
"One of the most tedious aspects of a GIS educator's job is updating lab exercises to keep up with software product updates," says David DiBiase, Esri director of education. "With SpatiaLABS, educators can leave that chore to Esri."
Delivered on DVD, the lessons are installed onto the school's server to allow access by all campus faculty. To learn more, visit esri.com/spatialabs or call 1-800-447-9778. Outside the United States, visit esri.com/offices to contact your local Esri distributor.

Day 2: The Brass arrives
You could hear him coming from inside the media work room. His laugh booming from the hallway as he made his way to the door.
And as Blue Jays president and CEO Paul Beeston burst through the door to head out to the ballfields, there in his lips, protruding from his wide grin, was his signature stogie.
Some things never change.
The Blue Jays brass arrived today. Beeston, general manager Alex Anthopoulos, assistant GM Tony Lacava and director of Minor League operations Charlie Wilson were all on hand to watch some players run through the day's unofficial workout.
As Beeston watched from behind the bullpen, smoke puffed from his cigar and disappeared into the air above, while he chatted and laughed through his brief visit to camp.
One new Blue Jay sighting was speedy outfielder Joey Gathright, who is in camp on a Minor League contract with a shot at a spot on the Opening Day roster. Anthopoulos said one advantage Gathright has is the type of speed that the rest of the 40-man roster lacks.
Anthopoulos spoke at length about his desire to make speed and defense staples of the Blue Jays' identity and culture going forward. Now, this does not mean the big league club is going to start running wild in 2010. Starting in the Minors, though, Anthopoulos wants to improve the organization's emphasis on speed and he's hired a roving baserunning coach in Rich Miller.
It will take time to see the results in the Majors, but a lot of things the Jays are working on will require time and patience. That's expected under the circumstances. Utilizing speed is only a good option is you have the right personnel in place. Obviously, Anthopoulos did not inherit a team of burners when he took over as the GM.
THE BROTHERS MOLINA: The Blue Jays signed veteran catcher Jose Molina to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract on Friday. You'll remember his brother Bengie as the Jays catcher a few years back. Jose's deal only guarantees him $400,000. He'll earn another $400,000 if he makes the Opening Day roster. The contract also includes a club option for 2011 worth $1.2 million. Molina will complete with Raul Chavez for the backup role behind John Buck.
This move is about depth and it's about adding another veteran catcher to help groom the pack of young pitchers and young catchers in camp. One thing Buck, Molina and Chavez all have in common is a reputation of being a good game-callers and mentors for young arms. In the short-term, that's a good thing to have in place to help this young staff's development.
MCGOWAN WATCH: Dustin McGowan is scheduled to throw his sixth bullpen session on Saturday. So far, all reports are that McGowan looks and feels great. So much so that the medical staff is trying not to get too excited. Doing that is asking for trouble. So, stay tuned. If McGowan can indeed be a realistic rotation candidate, that would be an interesting development this spring. Obviously, it's still a long way before Opening Day.

They should have kept Taylor instead of Wallace if they're trying to get faster on the pads, I'm still thinking they will regret that move from what I've heard Wallace only projects to be another Lyle Overbay.
s0101- Taylor is 6'6″ and 250 pounds already. He's expected to pick up weight, so although he might look like he's got speed now, it wouldn't last long, he simply is too big. Taylor doesn't have the upside of Wallace. Imo, we got the best of that deal.
Yeah, Kyle Drabek is not exactly like Roy Halladay but at least he is young and has a relatively good arm.
As for Brett Wallace, Michael Taylor and Travis d'Arnaud,
d'Arnaud was in my opinion from what I saw on Rogers Sportsnet, a pretty decent hitter, speedster and good arm, and fundamentals around the plate if not more.
Brett has pretty good Hitting and a keen Eye for Batting.
Taylor was pretty much the same thing as Wallace, but with a slight difference.

U.K. Nationals Join Protest Of Uganda Dictator
She scoffed at a May 17 letter by Gen. Museveni labeling media organizations, including Uganda's Daily Monitor, the BBC and Al-Jazeera as "enemies" of Uganda and declaring that "They will be treated as such.â€
[Global: U.K.]
British nationals joined with Ugandans in London's busy-trafficked Trafalgar Square to demand that the U.K. stop financing the dictator Yoweri Museveni, whose regime is reeling after a bout of street protests in the East African country reports Norman S. Miwambo.
Protestors continue to treat the Ugandan leader Gen. Museveni, with a carnival of protests including Friday, June 24,
in a bid to expose his alleged "democratic accomplishments". Passers-by stopped to find out more from the demonstrators who assembled outside Uganda's High Commission --the equivalent of an embassy.
One demonstrator's placard read, "ICC indict Museveni for Genocide," a reference to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which regime opponents accuse of protecting the U.S. and U.K-backed general. Other signs read: "Stop
Dictatorship in Uganda," "Free Uganda from Dictatorship," "Uganda Dictator Museveni Must Go," and "Ugandans demand freedom of speech, assembly and the press."
The Ugandan general, in office for 26 years, is widely accused of having stolen the February presidential vote. All the major opposition parties refuse to recognize the results and call him an "illegitimate president."
An organizer, Moses Luzinda, says regime opponents have secured permission to protest for at least two months.
"We can only realize freedom if the West stops its monetary support," of Museveni adds Luzinda. "We are going to be consistent and relentless in our demands."
"You have been here; you have seen the number of people taking photos and reading the messages on our placards," he says, of the robust media coverage. "This is the kind of achievement we are looking."
The protestors in the United Kingdom have rallied under a grouping called Uganda United People Democratic Forces--organizers term it non-political mobilization organization. They want the West to force Gen. Museveni from office before the country descends into chaos.
Hannah Conpanna, a Canadian national who brought lunch for demonstrators says the says UN's Article 19 of Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, 1948, guarantees the right to freedom of opinion, expression, to impart information and ideas through any media.
She scoffed at a May 17 letter by Gen. Museveni labeling media organizations, including Uganda's Daily Monitor, the BBC and Al-Jazeera as "enemies" of Uganda and declaring that "They will be treated as such."
"We feel like any other human being. This is not an issue for Ugandans only, it's our money that continues to support dictators who surpress their citizens," said another demonstrator, Fantan, who only provided a first name.
"By joining protests like these, we send a message to our politicians that our taxes, if allocated for projects that help poor people should be used for that cause. But not to maintain individuals who want to consolidate their power at the expenses of the people."
"Speaking Truth To Empower."

Nonsticking titanium cookware is pretty new in the field of high-quality cookware. It's still very expensive and surely not a low-budget item. But if you are looking for premium cookware, then price won't be your first consideration anyway.
Titanium is great for cooking because it is both extremely strong, durable and lightweight. I myself am currently looking at some Titanium cookware because I'm kind of always on the move, traveling a lot and moving a lot too. I recommend you go to a store and just hold a titanium pan in your hands to get the actual experience of how it feels to have a titanium pan in your hand – it's extremely light and great for road trips, canyon tours, or backpacking. And I dare to say that it could be the perfect hiking cookware too.
Health-conscious cooks will be specially fond of the fact that titanium is great for low-fat cooking without you having to handle the cookware carefully like you have to do it with Teflon cookware, which, once scratched, shouldn't be used anymore because of the possibility of leaking of dangerous poisonous substances into the food.
Other than with some other kinds of non-sticking cookware Titanium is also a safe material for cooking equipment – no toxins will be released if you scratch it (and did I mention that it's scratch proof? And how about that it won't bend or warp even if you use it to cook on high flame for years and years?).
The food will also taste great because titanium doesn't contaminate the food with any coating materials or metal byproducts.
Titanium in deed is the metal that is the strongest compared to any other metal that is as light (or if you want to get fancy you can say that it has the highest strenght-to-weight ratio of all metals).
So again, if you're an "on the road cook" who's traveling a lot, or if you are mobile cook (I was surprised about this – there are actually cooks that come to your house and cook for you in your own house! A private chef for rent so to speak) then titanium cookware is definitely worth looking into.
I recommend you also read other articles on high-quality cookware or email me your questions about high-quality cookware at email@example.com

It may be used to connect a microphone to a portable recording device, camcorder, or PC.I don't know the math of impedance matching so sorry if this is obvious. From that information, can you tell what will be the output impedance of the Beta 58 + MIT-156?So far the Touch can't detect the rig (works for a computer mic I have though, so my cable adapters that come after the MIT-156 are working fine). And when I connect the mic to the PC via the mic inputs of either an Asus U1 or the built-in IDT sound device (on Windows 7). I get low signal and very loud hiss. What am I missing?

SKF EAZ induction heaters
Quick mounting/dismounting for cylindrical roller bearings
The EAZ heats the inner rings evenly by inducing eddy currents while the roll neck remains cold. When dismounting, the EAZ heater helps prevent damage to shafts and inner rings, which often occurs when other methods such as gas burners are used. Additional benefits include:
- Reduced man-hours
- Reduced downtime
- Minimize risk of inner ring damage
- Reduce spares inventory
See more about heating tools for mounting/dismounting in the SKF Maintenance Products catalog.

I've already outlined the detailed steps for migrating users, home directories and email to a new Linux server. I received a couple of emails asking about migrating printer configuration. From my mail bag:
Is it possible to migrate the printer configuration from one machine to another, just like user migration?
Yes, it is possible since Linux uses CUPS i.e. the common unix printing system. It is a modular printing system for Unix-like computer operating systems that allows a computer to act as a print server. A computer running CUPS is a host that can accept print jobs from client computers, process them, and send them to the appropriate printer.
Migrate Linux Printer Configuration
CUPS stores its configuration at /etc/cups directory, so all you have to do is copy /etc/cups to a new computer. Open terminal and type the commands on old Linux computer:
# tar -cvzf /tmp/cups-$(hostname).tar.gz /etc/cups
Copy /tmp/cups* to new system using SCP or use USB pen driver:
# scp /tmp/cups* new.linux.server.com:/tmp
Now login to new system and type the following commands:
# mv /etc/cups /etc/cups.backup
# cd /
# tar -zxvf /tmp/cups*
Finally, restart the cups service:
# /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

DuPont™ Kevlar® AP for Hoses - Taiwanese hose manufacturer improves safety of high-pressure hoses
Taiwanese hose manufacturer meets customer need for improved burst pressure
One of the largest plastic extruders in Taiwan, Gee-Chang Nylon Plastic Co, Ltd., has built a reputation for quality, service, versatility and progressive technology. When Gee-Chang was looking for a way to improve the safety of its high-pressure hydraulic industrial hoses, DuPont™ Kevlar® AP (Advanced Performance) yarn offered an ideal solution.
The Challenge
For many years, Gee-Chang had relied on DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 1500d yarn for its strength, quality, proven performance and lightweight in manufacturing its high-pressure industrial hoses. In 2010, a customer requested a hose with improved burst pressure at the same weight.
The Solution
The latest DuPont innovation in fiber technology, DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 AP provided the improved performance that Gee-Chang needed. With up to a 15% increase in tenacity compared to the standard DuPont™ Kevlar® product, DuPont™ Kevlar® AP was ideal for this application. DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 AP also features outstanding strength, performance fatigue, temperature and chemical resistance and burst strength. Gee-Chang very easily implemented DuPont™ Kevlar® AP into its manufacturing process without making any changes. And, just one month after testing the product, the company was able to achieve its goal of improving burst pressure in its high-pressure hoses by 11%.
Key Advantages
By using DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 AP, Gee-Chang was able to increase the burst pressure of its high-pressure hydraulic industrial hoses by 11%, thus dramatically increasing product safety as well. DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 AP provides up to a 15% increase in tenacity compared to the standard Kevlar® product. Gee-Chang was able to implement DuPont™ Kevlar® K29 AP into its manufacturing process without making any changes.

We have little doubt that Vanillaware and Marvelous Entertainment are targeting the tinglier areas of otaku with Muramasa: The Demon Blade, what with all the sexy bath time and fetishistic character designs.
But the game is gorgeous, one of the more interesting third-party titles coming for the Wii this year. And one that's managing to somewhat decently so far in Japan, so we don't necessarily mind that Vanillaware and crew clearly have aftermarket plans to shill Muramasa: The Demon Blade stuff. New wallpapers from the game, direct from the publisher, that don't even feature the game's hero and heroine are all the evidence we need.
Hey, we'll gladly post about the inevitable mouse pads, hump pillows and figures—and the inevitable digital macro breakdowns from figure collecting perv web sites. So just let the pandering to horny otaku wash over you and enjoy some new wallpapers from the publisher.

Item Description
Letter, C. K. Holliday to Dear Sirs [Alfred and Edgar Huidekoper]
Author: Holliday, Cyrus Kurtz, 1826-1900
Date: September 20, 1858
Cyrus K. Holliday, founder and prominent citizen of Topeka, Kansas Territory, wrote to Alfred Huidekoper and Edgar Huidekoper, old associates from Meadville, Pennsylvania, to tell them of investment opportunities. He described rural claims, Town Act investments, and loans. He gave examples of large returns, including those gained by former governor Andrew H. Reeder. The time was ripe since Kansas' free statehood seemed certain, the land was titled, securities were assured, and financial difficulties had left some land and property owners with no option but to sell sacrificially. Holliday also confirmed the discovery of gold in western Kansas Territory (now Colorado).

I am looking to have a social networking site design done for this contest. I do not want something too web 2.0ish, nor do I want something that looks like something from the 90s. There is no name for the site right now, so 'ProfileSite' can do for now.
I do not want anything that has a harsh color scheme, no orange, purple, hard blues, reds, etc. I would like something that has a white background, blackish text, soft blues (not light, not dark), maybe a soft green, but I think a blue would work better.
Navigation can either go horizontal or vertical (left side), per the design of the links given below. I would enjoy a closed design (facebook). The site should fit in a 900px width. We can ignore 800x600. Wider widths are open as needed. If you choose to seperate the sections (eg boxes for each section of the layout), please do not put borders around them. Simply make them have a slightly different background than the main bg.
Here are a few text items to use in the menu.
Home, My Profile, Forum, Marketplace, Entertainment, etc. Just make up a few so I can see how the design will look with text inside it.
I'm looking along the lines of something like FaceTheJury.com and FaceBook.com, in regards to intelligently designed yet simplistic. I like the header of FaceTheJury as it has an ability to grow. The design does not have to have a horizontal main menu, as FaceBook has a great side navigation, but it is a thought. I also enjoy the header's structure and style over at DevientArt
Additional page: Profile
There will need to be a place for a profile picture, user information, section of photos and/or albums, small control panel (see: facethejury), user comments (like facebook's wall). Profile could be two columns, such as facebook, or one main column, per facethejury.
Additional Information
If you have any questions, concerns, etc, please private message me, or shoot an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I haven't used this new contest system, so I'll be getting used to it and hopefully it won't be too hard for me to get used to it!
Requirements and Reserves
I require the PSD along with a 100% quality JPG of the winner's design and full ownership of said design. I reserve the right to cancel the contest at any time, end the contest without picking a winner, as well as offer payment to additional contestants for their designs, alongside contest winner.
Future Work
If the design is up to my standard, I will definitely continue work with with the winner in the future as needed, if winner is interested.

First things first as the Broncos embarked on free agency: Peyton Manning will be their quarterback for the next two years.
Manning recently passed his physical exam, assuring his place on the Broncos' 2013 roster as the NFL officially opened for business at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
His place on the Broncos' 2013 roster in turn triggers guarantees in his salaries over the next two years.
As part of the five-year contract Manning signed with the Broncos at about this time last year, he will draw a $20 million salary in 2013 and another $20 million salary in 2014.
Has there ever been a physical examination worth $40 million?
Manning, who turns 37 in 12 days, made $18 million in his first year with the Broncos. And a case can be made that he earned every penny, throwing for 37 touchdowns against 11 interceptions while leading the Broncos to a 13-3 record, the AFC West title and a No. 1 playoff seed in the playoffs.
He was named NFL comeback player of the year after missing the previous season, his final year with the Indianapolis Colts, to recover from four neck surgeries.
The final two years in Manning's contract — $19 million in 2015 and $19 million in 2016 — are not guaranteed.

Three of us recently went to Vietnam, bought three Minsks, and rode through Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia. At the end of the trip, we thought it would be fun to have the bikes dismantled and shipped back home. We were wrong. It ended up taking 6 months and a lot of money to get them here. But in the end it will be pretty sweet to have what are probably the only three Minsks in the US. Here's a couple shots of the bikes over there  I am finally getting around to writing the Ride Report (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=617754), and I thought it would be fun to do a build thread. The owner of the awesome hotel we were staying at (E-Jay at Scan Hotel, GO THERE) told us our bikes could sit in his gated parking area for as long as we needed, so we could work out the logistics from home. I figured out that it would be cheaper (and easier to get past customs) if the bikes were imported as parts rather than as complete bikes. I found a shop that said they would disassemble them for $20 each, so then it was just a matter of finding a shipping company. Easy, right? Not so much. Anyway, six months, hundreds of emails, tons of frustration, and thousands of dollars later, bikes arrived at the port of San Francisco. The box was, uhh, large. Beer, tin snips, and motorcycles, always a good combo. All out of the crate, everything was individually boxed. How fancy! ok... so when I talked to the guys who were going to disassemble the bikes, I told them to do the bare minimum. Take the wheels off, engine out of the frame, seat off, and that's about it. I guess they figured that if a little dis-assembly is good, alot must be GREAT! I did not expect this This is a project for which I am uniquely suited, as the original build quality of these bikes falls somewhere between "Barbaric" and "Completely unsafe to ride", which means my superbly mediocre fabrication skills will be "Authentic" rather than "Sloppy and dissapointing" After seeing how far disassembled the bikes were, I decided I should put them back together one at a time, so this is the first one... Step one: grind off what is left of the broken right-side foot peg, cut off random pieces of metal that had been booger-welded to the frame over the years, weld up a few cracks here and there, and take the frame to be sand blasted. Then, forget to take pictures of any of this. Move directly to primering the frame and test fitting the Soviet engineering marvel that is the 125cc 2-Stroke engine. Also, make sure you run out of grey primer half way through, then finish up with black so it looks extra terrible.

From Minsk build

 Next: Lose interest in this project because your assortment of bolts hasn't arrived from McMaster-Carr yet. Proceed directly to the swing arm. This is the lower shock mount. A bolt welded to the tab. The bolt itself looks as if they cut it to length using a dull hatchet, which apparently worked just fine until they cross threaded the wrong nut onto it so many times that the threads are pretty much gone. While in the process of replacing both lower shock mounts, I noticed that the swing arm itself is cracked, top and bottom. Very Nice! Cracks welded up and ground down Better than new. No, really. Here are a few of the things I have to look forward to What is going on here? why is there a bent bolt welded to the frame right there? I'm assuming the washer is some kind of cable guide, or maybe where the brake light switch goes? Now here is something REALLY cool: See that big nut right there? Yeah, thats the swing arm mounting point. And I actually added weld to that, it originally wasn't welded at the top. Hopefully I'll have some time to do more work soon! Let me know what you think! Got any suggestions?

LONDON (Reuters) – An experimental drug from GlaxoSmithKline, designed to fight heart disease in a new way, failed to meet its main goal in the first of two big late-stage clinical studies, the company said on Tuesday.
Darapladib did, however, produce greater reductions in serious coronary events in some of the pre-defined secondary endpoints that GSK said required further analysis.
The once-daily pill, which is designed to prevent heart attacks and strokes by fighting clogged arteries in a completely different way from cholesterol-lowering drugs, has been viewed by analysts as a high-risk project.

Children's activity book
The children's activity book "What's Happening in Court?" is full of activities and useful information to help children and their families who may be in court for any reason -- whether they are visitors, witnesses, or directly involved in a case. Specifically the book explains what happens in court, who works there, and the rules of court.
This book was written in 1999 by the legal staff of the California Office of the General Counsel within the Administrative Office of the Courts. In 2001, Wisconsin judges, attorneys, and court staff tailored the book for Wisconsin and reproduced it with funding from the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Milwaukee Bar Association.

Born: 1917, Vienna, Austria
Describes reaching the verge of death while in a subcamp of Auschwitz. [Interview: 1991]
Ernest was studying in Paris, France, until February 1939, when he returned to Brno, Czechoslovakia. The Germans occupied the latter region soon thereafter, but Ernest managed to return to France. He joined a Czech unit in the French army from October 1939 until the fall of France in May 1940. He made his way to unoccupied France, where he taught for a while. He then went to Grenoble, and again taught, but was arrested because he did not have the appropriate papers. Ernest was interned in Le Vernet camp for two years. He was deported to Upper Silesia in September 1942, and then to Laurahuette (a subcamp of Auschwitz where forced laborers worked in mines and furnaces). He was in Laurahuette until August 1943, when he was sent to the Blechhammer subcamp of Auschwitz. After liberation, Ernest eventually made his way to the United States.

text: Among the most common questions from our female (and occasionally male) customers concerns the difficulty many women have with PMS, also known as dysmenorrhea; Are there alternatives to drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen, and which ones do you recommend? Among the most commonly-used supplements to help ease the cramping, bloating and irritability that characterize PMS/dysmenorrhea are herbs like dong quai and vitex, vitamin B-6 and B-12, minerals like magnesium and potassium and the serotonin precursor 5-HTP. You can find women who get great results with one or a combination of these nutrients, but because PMS has a complex and dynamic set of causative factors that vary from woman to woman, there's no one-size-fits-all solution, and probably never will be. However, research suggests that there are two types of nutrients that – besides being good for you anyway – deserve special consideration in terms of easing PMS symptoms.

The subject is one that I was strictly against as a youngster. I would have told anyone at 15 years of age that student-athletes should not be paid.
The subject is one that I was strictly against as a youngster. I would have told anyone at 15 years of age that student-athletes should not be paid.
Fast-forward to Jordan Honeycutt at 30, and my views have completely changed.
In the wake of many scandals such as the University of Miami mess, Johnny Manziel allegedly taking cash for his autograph and many that we do not hear about, a solution is direly necessary.
My solution is really a simple one and I think it would work as long as everyone understands it.
College football and basketball bring in countless more amounts of revenue to said university than all of the other sports combined.
It is not a �something against you� thing, rather a fiscal fact.
College football and basketball players also, historically, come from more challenging backgrounds financially than athletes of other sports.
I believe that the NCAA needs to establish a rule giving Division-I college football and basketball players a $500 per month stipend in the form of a specially designed NCAA credit/debit card.
Having classes with some of these kids and becoming friends with some of them at Tennessee, I saw that, man, these kids grew up a lot tougher than me and God gave them a different way out through sports.
They can�t help their parents didn�t better themselves, they can�t help that great-granddaddy didn�t own a car dealership or oil company.
Furthermore, the NCAA prohibits any student-athlete from having a job while playing sports.
At a place like Tennessee, where people have two proverbial tattoos on their hearts � an orange Power T first and Jesus second � football is a full-time job for these kids.
Also at Tennessee, the only place I can speak of from experience, the school�s revenue stream and the athletics department�s revenue stream are completely separate.
They keep their own houses, so to speak.
The card would be set up to only be used at diners or restaurants for food, clothing stores and movie theaters so that the players can eat, have a shirt on their backs and, if so inclined, take a young lady on a date to the movies.
I would make the card also operable only at the pump of gas stations to prevent the kids spending the money on alcohol, cigarettes and other harmful things found in convenience stores.
Only those things mentioned would the card work for, and under zero circumstances, could the kids accept any amount of money for anything not listed in the regulations of the card.
This stops some of the impermissible benefits such as rental cars, tattoos, alcohol, houses, vehicles and God knows what else.
Since there is a card in place and a zero tolerance policy, any player caught selling his autograph or receiving any of the above should be immediately expelled from school.
That nips it in the bud.
Making the zero tolerance policy institutes fear in the kids of being expelled and not being able to play football or basketball anymore.
A responsibly guided, somewhat scared young man will not break the law if he knows the consequences are greater than the benefits.
A tuna doesn�t swim up to grab a baitfish if he knows a shark is waiting for him.
I know many athletes of �other� sports would feel slighted and I understand.
Because soccer, volleyball, field hockey, lacrosse, and in college, even baseball, don�t drive the attendance and revenue that basketball and football do, something could be done.
Maybe give them a $200 stipend or allow them to have jobs.
Facts are facts, and I respect all college and professional athletes, but everything should be kept in perspective.
Pay just a little NCAA and a lot of these problems you are having will go away.

elcome to my
Travel Art Boutique
from around the world. This gallery was originally created in 2013 when my direct family was effected by the devastating natural disaster, Typhoon Haiyan "Yolanda", in the Philippines. We lost so much that day, our uninsured homes, schools, thousands of fellow Filipinos dead, and many families and children, including my own, suffered to find food, water and refuge. There were no words to describe such sadness. Amidst the chaos a wonderful thing happened, {humanity and hope happened}, people from around the globe wanted to help. Friends and random strangers were messaging me what they can do to assist my family and the fellow Filipinos. I created this Online Boutique and all proceeds would go directly to them and other Non Profit Organizations. Much to my surprise, many ordered my work or donated monetarily and I was able to allocate the funds where it was needed.
beyond words! Since then, I've continued to donate a percentage of my earnings to Charity. I can't help but give back when others were willing to give in times of need. With that said, thank you for visiting my online gallery and maybe you'll be inclined to purchase one or a few in supporting our
commitment to charity

International Master of Science in Marine Biological Resources (Global Ocean Change)
The International Master in Marine Biological Resources (IMBRSea), is a joint Master's programme organized by ten leading European universities in the field of marine sciences; Ghent University (BE), Sorbonne Université (FR), Université Côte d'Azur (FR), University of the Algarve (PT), University of Oviedo (ES), Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (IE), University of the Basque Country (ES), Polytechnic University of Marche (IT), University of Bergen (NO), and Université de Bretagne Occidentale (FR). It is supported by fourteen Marine Research Institutes belonging to the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC).
Based on the objectives of the EMBRC consortium, IMBRSea covers a wide, yet consistent, range of subjects related to the sustainable use of marine biological resources. With an emphasis on marine biological and ecological processes, the programme links biology of marine organisms and environmental studies with subjects in marine policy and planning.
IMBRSea is a two-year, 120 ECTS study programme that starts with a first semester of courses within the fundamental modules in which students gain the core competences required for starting any of the five specialization tracks of the programme. This first semester is offered by Ghent University, University of the Algarve, Université de Bretagne Occidentale and University of Oviedo. During the second and the third semester, the students follow two thematic modules, leading to one of the five specialization tracks are defined according to the EU Horizon2020 Blue Growth innovation challenges:
- Marine food production led by Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, University of the Basque Country, University of the Algarve, University of Bergen;
- Management of living marine resources led by University of Oviedo, University of the Algarve, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, University of Bergen;
- Applied marine ecology and conservation led by Ghent University, Polytechnic University of Marche, Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, Sorbonne Université, University of Bergen;
- Marine environment health led by Polytechnic University of Marche, University of the Basque Country, University of the Algarve and Sorbonne Université;
- Global ocean change led by Sorbonne Université, Ghent University and University of Bergen.
IMBRSea offers, besides a wide variety of courses in the thematic modules, also a series of jointly developed activities. In the second half of the second semester, students will gain authentic experience during six weeks of professional practice offered by potential future employers.
During a joint school students from the same cohort will come together for programme-wide training on multi-disciplinary topics. During the last semester students have the opportunity to develop an individual thesis research project, tailored to their personal interests.
This research project is presented on the IMBRSea Annual Symposium which unites both first and second year students, as well as future employers and interested stakeholders.
Programme mobility
The students will live and study in at least two European cities and will receive a Joint degree signed by the ten European universities. Students will choose in the first year among four universities – Ghent, Algarve, Bretagne Occidentale and Oviedo – which are offering in the first semester mainly the basic multidisciplinary courses. From the second semester onwards, students choose from one of the five specialisation tracks. In the second and third semester, they follow two thematic modules. All students undertake their thesis work during the fourth semester, at one of the IMBRSea partners or members of the consortium.
The EU-Marine Strategy provides an integrated framework for analysing relevant community policies' contributions to the protection of and the impact on the marine environment. This EU-Strategy is the basis for the national European authorities and policies at the one hand and is the basis for debate at the global scale regarding policies for Nature protection and Conservation in general. The IMBRsea masters will be well trained to operate immediately within these policy environments. Most of them will use this master as a basis for PhD research. Masters and post-docs specialised in marine biological resources can help in the implementation of the strategies for future sustainable use of the natural marine resources taking into account the natural ecological background of the ecosystems. The added value for IMBRsea masters will be that they can operate on a global scale since there is no restriction in the programme regarding types of biotopes (going from the coast to the deep sea and from poles to poles).

Today, the State Archives of Florida reached a major milestone: Resident cataloger Tony Conigliaro officially cataloged the 200,000th digitized photograph from the Florida Photographic Collection on Florida Memory. In commemoration, we are digging into the Archives for a look back at the colorful history of the Florida Photographic Collection. We also interviewed Tony, and he explained more about his role in expanding digital public access to one of the most-used photographic collections in the country.
200,000 Copyright-free Images Online
All photographs available on Florida Memory are now offered under the Public Domain Mark Creative Commons license. Members of the public are encouraged to download and share the digitized archival images, provided they credit the State Archives of Florida. Higher resolution scans or prints of images can be ordered online using the shopping cart feature or by contacting staff at the Florida Photographic Archives via email email@example.com or by phone at 850-245-6718.
About the 200,000th Photograph
For the symbolic 200,000th image, Archives staff selected this print of Harriet Beecher Stowe walking up the steps of Florida's Old Capitol on April 10th, 1874. Though a copy negative of this photograph has been repeatedly used in publications, the original image was only recently discovered in the State Library. Stowe was an author and abolitionist who wrote the anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin in 1851. After the Civil War, Stowe purchased a winter home in Mandarin, Florida, on the east bank of the St. Johns River, now a neighborhood of Jacksonville.
In April 1874, Stowe traveled with a group of Northern businessmen to the capital city of Tallahassee to encourage development and investment in Florida. Floridians graciously welcomed Stowe to the capital despite their general disagreement with her political opinions. This meeting on the Capitol steps was meant as a gesture of the South receiving the North. The photograph of the occasion was taken by Irish photographer A. G. Grant, who was hired by a Boston publishing company to capture images of interest for an upcoming publication about Florida.
The Florida Photographic Collection
Florida State University, 1952-1982
The Florida Photographic Collection dates back to 1947, when Allen C. Morris, the self-taught historian and well-known Associated Press political columnist and reporter, started writing the Florida Handbook as a reference for the Florida Legislature. The biennial publication, which is still published in a digital format today, contains current information on the history and government of Florida. Tasked with compiling an inviting and educational manual, Morris found himself on a constant quest to illustrate the book with corresponding pictures.
He sought out new images of all types whenever and wherever he could, often using his vast network in journalism, state politics, and industry to make new acquisitions. Within a few years, the collection had exceeded 50,000 photographs.
"The helpfulness of people, both in Florida and elsewhere, has been extremely gratifying," Morris told the Miami Herald's Jeanne Bellamy in 1972. "[Donors] have cooperated to an unusual degree, placing their facilities at our disposal because of the rather general recognition that we are racing against the erosion of time to preserve scenes of lasting human value."
In an effort to better preserve and organize the many priceless photographs, Morris established the Florida Photographic Collection at the Florida State University Library in 1952. There, Morris, along with other faculty and graduate students, began cataloging the photographs. He soon became known among the press, academic publishers, and the general public as the go-to-resource for printed images of Florida history. The video clip below documents officials from the Florida Development Commission donating promotional films to the archive at FSU in 1964.
Morris continued his oversight of the Florida Photographic Collection throughout the 1960s. In the middle of the decade, his first wife, Dorothy, who was dying of cancer, urged her husband to take a job with the Legislature. She reasoned that a change in careers would ease the longtime journalist's transition after her death.
In 1966, Allen Morris became clerk of the Florida House of Representatives. That year, he also met graduate student Joan Perry while working in the photographic collection. The couple wed shortly thereafter. Wanting to focus more of his attention on his responsibilities at the Capitol, Morris eventually stepped down from his role at the archives. In 1970, archivist Joan Perry Morris became the director of the Florida Photographic Collection.
State Archives of Florida, 1982-Present
During Joan's tenure, the collection grew to include over one million images of Florida-related people, places, flora, fauna and other items of interest. As the collection continued to grow, Morris sought a new space for the photographs. In 1982, the State Archives of Florida acquired the entirety of the Florida Photographic Collection.
At the state repository, Joan Morris, her photographic assistant Jody Norman and many other archivists on staff continued the work of building and preserving the photographic record of Florida's history and culture.
The Florida Memory Program, 1994-Present
By the early 1990s, the photo collection had become so popular that requests for copies and scans of photographs accounted for over half of all reference requests at the State Archives. The solution? The internet and its unprecedented ability to provide remote access to information.
In 1993, Joan and her team applied for federal grant funding from the Library Services and Construction Act (now known as the Library Services and Technology Act) and launched the Florida Photographic Collection Electronic Imaging Project in 1994. They developed a plan for digitizing the Florida Photographic Collection and making the photos searchable online. During the digitization project's first year, over 5,000 images from the Florida Photographic Collection were scanned and put online.
In 2000, the project was renamed the Florida Memory Program, and it has been hailed as one of the state's best resources for connecting Floridians with their history.
Florida Memory has received several awards in recognition of its public value, including the Society of American Archivists' 2015 Archival Innovator Award.
As the speed and precision of technology improves, Florida Memory continues to increase access to the historically significant holdings of the State Library and Archives of Florida.
Today, the program keeps an impressive pace, digitizing 100 new photographs each week. And in addition to featuring 200,000 searchable Florida photographs, the website has also expanded to include over 300,000 documents, 250 videos and 2,900 audio recordings, as well as online educational units. Because of Florida Memory's wide reach, the Florida Photographic Collection receives daily requests from newswires, magazines, interior designers and average citizens from all every corner of the country. They even have a large international customer base.
Our Cataloger Tony on the Ins and Outs of Florida Memory's Photographs
The ability to quickly search through our online catalog of images is a huge time saver, especially compared to the tedium of thumbing through a traditional card catalog. But, real-life archivists like Tony Conigliaro are usually sitting on the other side of the screen, researching, fact-checking, and cataloging images to optimize your search results on Florida Memory. Here's what he has to say about how it all happens:
- How long have you been working as a cataloger for the State Archives?
[About twenty years.] I started work as a part-time scanner in 1997 until I became a cataloger in 1999.
- What is your academic background? How and why did you first become interested in cataloging work?
I have a master's in library and information science from Florida State University. I think my interest in archives [grew] over time. I've always liked libraries since my youth (they're so quiet and clean!) and I enjoyed scanning images and learning Photoshop.
But when I began cataloging I thought of myself as kind of an information conduit/provider and more data-entry librarian than archivist. I've never done any collection/preservation work but appreciate the fact that these historical items are being made more readily available for researchers and the general public.
I suppose [that as my] appreciation grew, my interest in archival work and the great efforts of archives staff also grew. I've heard a few times of patrons who have come across an image, of an ancestor, they never knew existed which just makes my appreciation and interest grow all the more!
- What steps are involved in cataloging a photo on Florida Memory?
It's really just a matter of filling in each field with appropriate data and adding additional fields when needed or subtracting fields if there are too many. For instance, every record should have data in the fields for "Title" & "Date", and they do, but each record ought to have data in the "Subject" field to describe what the photo is about and provide keywords, based on a controlled vocabulary list provided by the Library of Congress (or other authorized source), for users to retrieve the digitized image.
- How do you identify people and places in photographs?
Fortunately the overwhelming majority are identified by donors. [O]thers are just from familiarity — once Jody [my former boss] was weeding through some political images and held one up to ask me who it was, I looked over and said "Dewey Macon Johnson," who was State Senate President in 1959.
[Sometimes] I'll also grab the loupe (a small magnification device) to look for clues, like road signs, store signs, or any other identifying information. Then I scour the internet, check out the city directories, newspaper microfilm or other library resources. The loupe also helps [to determine] the date of the image as well, especially if it shows an automobile as I can find out the date it was first manufactured. I also make extensive use of the expertise of the smart people around me!
- How many photographs do you think you've cataloged for Florida Memory?
I think I have scanned about 88,000 photos. I've never done less than 5,000 per year since 2001.
- What is the biggest challenge of your job? What do you like most about your job?
The most challenging aspect is researching images with a lack of accompanying identifications or cryptic/incomplete info. These sometimes also happen to be the most fun.
I suppose I find getting answers to be the most satisfying. Fitting in pieces of information like a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes just tracking down the make and model of a car to pinpoint the earliest start date of an image, other times locating a store's sign in the city directory to pinpoint the street location. I like getting the answers most and being able to provide that information to interested users.
- What is your favorite photograph in the collection, and why?
[That's] like asking me to pick my favorite kid – no way! I have a bit of fondness for Political, specifically 1950s, as that's where I began and was trained. They're real concrete with bios and dates and over the years some of the faces have become somewhat familiar. Some of the humorous/odd photographs are interesting: C660217, Rc04621 (diner title), C003016 (not where I'd want to find myself!) The Tampa skyline and aerial shots I think are attractive. Appears to be a good looking city. The Dale McDonald collection – it's the first collection that I've been the sole cataloger of so it's kind of special to me and he was a great photographer. Festivals & parades come to mind as they seem to be held just about everywhere in the state so they kind of include something for everyone which I find to be rather special.
- Why do you think the photographs in the Florida Photographic Collection are so significant? In your opinion, what are the benefits of digitizing so many of them on a website like Florida Memory?
They are unique, irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind treasures documenting historical facts! I don't think I can even fathom all the ways they may be able to touch or affect users if given a chance.
I believe digitization improves accessibility immensely and each image can present a new perspective and provide additional information for users. I don't think there can ever be enough digitized photographs.

John T. Foster Jr. and Sarah Whitmer Foster (Cocoa, Florida: The Florida Historical Society Press, 2011), 85-91.

You know You're addicted to ID5 when...
You overreacted to a simple corner when driving IRL.
You drive with one hand and the other on shift stick for some quick shifting action even though you only go at 60 kph.
You drive with a racing line IRL.
You downshift your car BEFORE braking.
You slam your car's brake just to feel the shock from sudden deceleration.
You no longer can act normal/cool when someone happened to tailgate you thus registering that act as a highway/touge battle challenge.
You drive faster when listening to Eurobeat.
Your IRL driving style and pace change when you listen to different eurobeat song.
You ate tofu after you add AE86 to your card.
You ate fried tofu after you add S13 to your card.

SAN DIEGO — Kenta Maeda's work in the winter is paying off for the Dodgers this summer.
Thanks to his newfound changeup, Maeda pitched effectively into the sixth inning and Matt Kemp, Logan Forsythe and Chris Taylor each delivered an RBI single as Los Angeles beat the San Diego Padres 4-2 on Wednesday night.
The surging Dodgers pulled within a half-game of NL West-leading Arizona with their 34th victory in 50 games.
Maeda (6-5) won for the first time since June 25 as the right-hander allowed a run and four hits over 5 2/3 innings. He had nine strikeouts and a walk to help the Dodgers defeat the Padres for the eighth time in 12 meetings this season.
"It's been a game-changer for Kenta and it just keeps the hitters more honest with the change," Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said. "He can throw that pitch and present it as a strike and the bottom falls out. It's been a huge weapon for him."
It was Maeda's second start since coming off the paternity list and once again he was in control as the Padres had but one hit over his final three-plus innings of work. In his last nine starts, Maeda has a 1.97 ERA with 61 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings.
"I've been able to use (the changeup) effectively and I've been able to get a lot of punch-outs with it," Maeda said through a translator. "Last year I wasn't able to use it at all. But because of the changeup this year, it's making my other pitches look better today, and maybe my repertoire look even better."
Taylor's single scored Chase Utley, who was aboard on a pinch-hit double, for a 4-2 advantage in the eighth. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth and overcame a leadoff walk to Wil Myers for his 25th save.
San Diego cut its deficit to one in the seventh when rookie Christian Villanueva hit his 18th homer off reliever Daniel Hudson.
Austin Hedges had two of the Padres' five hits, but San Diego lost for the seventh time in 10 games.
Rookie left-hander Joey Lucchesi (4-5) didn't last past the fourth inning after throwing 91 pitches. He allowed three runs (two earned) and six hits while losing his second straight start.
"I'm not satisfied with myself," Lucchesi said. "I know I could be way better."
Los Angeles jumped ahead in the third as it parlayed four hits and an error into a three-run inning.
Kemp's sharp RBI single brought in Enrique Hernandez after his double. Forsythe, who has struggled all year, produced an RBI infield single, and when shortstop Freddy Galvis short-hopped first baseman Eric Hosmer for a throwing error on Cody Bellinger's grounder, Max Muncy came around.
"I guess I got out of my zone and let the game get away from me," Lucchesi said.
Added manager Andy Green: "As time goes by, he'll be much more pitch-efficient and be able to work deeper into games."
San Diego struck in the first when Carlos Asuaje's double scored Travis Jankowski after he opened with a single. But the Padres seldom threatened after that.
"As the game moved on I felt better and better," Maeda said.
For the fourth consecutive start, Maeda had nine strikeouts. "It seems like nine is the number I keep stopping at," he said. "I was hoping for another one today. I have to work harder."
Dodgers: LHP Julio Urias (left shoulder) threw to hitters at the team's Arizona facility, reaching 88-92 mph, according to Roberts.
Padres: RHP Jordan Lyles (right elbow) threw a bullpen Sunday and was slated for another one this week.
Dodgers: RHP Ross Stripling (7-2, 2.22 ERA), added to the NL roster Wednesday for his first All-Star Game, is 2-3 in his career against the Padres. He beat them on May 25 when he allowed just an unearned run over 6 2/3 innings.
Padres: RHP Tyson Ross (5-7, 4.41 ERA) remains a potential trade target with the July 31 deadline approaching. Ross has 10 quality starts this year.

PORTSMOUTH — A traffic stop on Interstate 95 South Wednesday led police to bring charges against three people suspected of stealing merchandise from the outlet stores in Kittery, Maine.
On Wednesday, police in Kittery broadcast a description of a vehicle carrying suspects thought to be involved in thefts from the outlet stores, according to a Portsmouth police announcement.
Portsmouth officers pulled over a car matching the description near the Portsmouth Traffic Circle at about 2:30 p.m. They arrested the occupants, 22-year-old Sawliki Perez, 23-year-old Astrun Pujols, and 22-year-old Elvis Pujols.
Each was charged with a felony count of receiving stolen property in excess of $1,500, according to Portsmouth police.
