When you are thinking about going to a vehicle hiring service to find a vehicle for a period you cannot just choose the first one you get to see. Since this option of leasing a vehicle for a time has become such a good idea and an attractive one at that too there are many companies currently engaged in this business venture. However, only a few are actually engaged in this business with a proper plan and a proper regard to their customers.
Therefore, when you are looking for a company from which you can rent a vehicle, do search for monthly car rental in Singapore. However, also make sure that the company with which you end up doing business also has the following qualities in it.
Quality Customer ServiceQuality customer service is an essential part in this type of business. You are hiring a vehicle from them. That means they should be there to listen to all your requirements and provide you with a vehicle that you like to have and that you can afford to have. A good company is always there to listen and answer any questions a customer may have with regard to the services they provide. At the same time, the customer service also extends to providing 24/7 roadside assistance once you have hired one of their vehicles. They will not cut the cord with you as soon as you have made a payment and gotten the vehicle from them.
Competitive PricingYou have to also look for cheap car rentals options out there. A good company always makes this option a possibility for any customer interested in using their services by providing their services and vehicles at highly competitive prices. That means they will not go on charging you an expensive prices for the services they offer. They will rather give you the opportunity to use a vehicle at an affordable price. If you are interested about cheap car rentals you can visit this site http://www.mova.com.sg/rental.html.
Flexible Hire PackagesTheir hire packages will also be flexible so as to best serve your interests as the customer. This can include the period of hire, any additional services you might need, extending the lease, payment options, etc. If you are doing business with a good company they will be always ready to listen to you as long as your requests are reasonable.
If a vehicle hire service seems to have quality customer service, competitive pricing and flexible hire packages you should go to them to hire a vehicle for your use. They will be able to offer you what you are looking for.

My radio group has three repeaters at a site owned by one of our members that was damaged by high winds and we need help from the ham community PLEASE.
High winds took the top off of the building that houses the repeaters and as I said this site is owned by AF4E in Elberton, Georgia. This site provides coverage for Elbert County, Hart County, Madison County, and into Lincoln and Clark Counties in Northwestern Georgia. He had no insurance on the site due to the expense of coverage ans we are in need of some help from the ham community to help him replace the roof. This building is 60' X 48' and it seems the best price will be a steel replacement roof. We have everything temporarily sheltered at the site and is still in operation for now.
We have set up a Go Fund Me site to try to help with the fundraiser. Please go and donate. Every little bit helps.

After lengthy discussion, the PatternFly team has chosen React as the JS implementation for PatternFly 4. We want to stress that we will continue to maintain our current PatternFly 3 Angular repos (angular-patternfly and patternfly-ng).
The JS framework question has gotten a lot of attention, so we wanted to talk a bit about how we made our decision and why we think it's the best way forward for the project.
- We chose React based on its popularity within the PatternFly community as well as the broader industry.
- We elected to focus on one JS framework because this approach will enable our team to ensure quality design, development, and community support.
The React strategy was discussed at length and we took many factors into consideration. If you're interested in understanding more of the history and reasoning behind our decision, read on!
Quick History
We started the patternfly-ng and patternfly-react repos over a year ago in response to rising requests to provide PatternFly implementations for the newer JS frameworks.
The Metrics
At the time, we didn't have any metrics to help us prioritize one framework over another, and so we made the best choice that we could and decided to add both. Since then, we have evaluated the activity and contributions around the various repos and observed that patternfly-react had become significantly more popular in recent months. We also took a look at observations from the broader industry and factored that research into our decision-making process.
Given all of this, we made the informed decision to take a more focused approach, enabling our team to improve PatternFly 4 and ensure quality design, development, and community support.
A big thanks to the PatternFly community for all of the engagement and interest we've been getting around PatternFly 4. Stay tuned for more updates.

Citizenship: Aims / Philosophy
Citizenship education provides an opportunity for students at The Pavilion to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they will require in order to play an important part in society as active and responsible people. At Key Stage 4 Citizenship provides a platform where can deepen their knowledge about rights and responsibilities, politics, parliament and voting as well as issues around human rights, the criminal justice system, law and the economy. In order to better grasp these concepts they also learn the skills of active citizenship such as advocacy and representation which bring learning to life and enable students to participate in real issues in both local and global contexts. These skills will enable students at The Pavilion to use a range of research strategies, weigh up evidence, make persuasive arguments and substantiate their conclusions.
Teaching should build on the key stage 3 programme of study to deepen pupils' understanding of democracy, government and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. Pupils should develop their skills to be able to use a range of research strategies, weigh up evidence, make persuasive arguments and substantiate their conclusions. They should experience and evaluate different ways that citizens can act together to solve problems and contribute to society.
Pupils should be taught about:
- parliamentary democracy and the key elements of the constitution of the United Kingdom, including the power of government, the role of citizens and Parliament in holding those in power to account, and the different roles of the executive, legislature and judiciary and a free press
- the different electoral systems used in and beyond the United Kingdom and actions citizens can take in democratic and electoral processes to influence decisions locally, nationally and beyond
- other systems and forms of government, both democratic and non-democratic, beyond the United Kingdom
- local, regional and international governance and the United Kingdom's relations with the rest of Europe, the Commonwealth, the United Nations and the wider world
- human rights and international law
- the legal system in the UK, different sources of law and how the law helps society deal with complex problems
- diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding
- the different ways in which a citizen can contribute to the improvement of their community, to include the opportunity to participate actively in community volunteering, as well as other forms of responsible activity
- income and expenditure, credit and debt, insurance, savings and pensions, financial products and services, and how public money is raised and spent
In England, citizenship is a statutory National Curriculum foundation subject in secondary schools. The citizenship programmes of study set out what schools must address in their citizenship teaching.

We see it every day, all day. In some cases we think that this problem is through ignorance on the part of the industry. In others it is obviously an attempt to muddy the water or a blatant lie to drive sales. It makes us crazy. It should make you crazy too. We commit to you to always tell you the full truth and relay the facts as we know them. Do we know everything? No, of course not. No one knows everything about an entire subject. And new theory's and methods are continually being discovered. Additionally more and more "wives tales' or "internet truths" are being debunked every day. But we will give you the unvarnished truth as we know it at the time. And with a healthy fear of coming off as arrogant, we know a lot. We will always provide you with technical data to the best of our abilities. We will never give you half-truths. And we will never lie to you so we can sell more product. This is our commitment to you. Coyote boosting basics, the facts: Is It Really Testing?: The first thing to get out of the way is the word "test" in the term "dyno test". 99% of the time you're not looking at a test, you're looking at an advertisement. Dyno numbers are used to sell product. It's as simple as that. Are dyno numbers worth something to you the consumer? Sure. Should they be looked at with a grain of salt? Absolutely. You're being sold something, be aware of that. Overview: We think that the biggest misconception about forced induction (FI), specifically positive displacement and centrifugal blowers is that there is any mystery to how much power they can/will make. Here is the deal, as long as the supercharger is even close to being sized correctly (as far as we know all the Coyote superchargers are) the supercharger will not be what determines how much power the car can make (excluding full blown race builds and HP numbers up over 850). A supercharger is an air pump, that's really it. Some superchargers are a little more efficient at "this" and others "that". But the big picture is that 10lb of boost out of ABC blower will make the same power as 10lb of boost out of XYZ blower. So unless you are going for crazy numbers, and ready to spend crazy money to do it at the end of the day it really doesn't matter what blower you use. Here is why… Generally when someone asks "How much power can I safely make with a Coyote?" they are asking at what point does the motor break because of mechanical load (horsepower). Up until recently and with most motors that was the right question. For example, the first limit with the 2005-2010 Mustang GT 4.6L 3v was 450-500hp where it would break the connecting rods. The 2007-2012 GT500's first limit was about 725hp where it would break its connecting rods. That was the engines limit without pulling it out and replacing the internals with forged components. When the Coyote came out something interesting happened. The motor got stronger (stronger than the 3v) so it could make more power before breaking. But, the Coyote has a very high compression ratio (11:1) and a new limit cropped up. The detonation or "knock" limit. The short version is that as a motors compression ratio goes up you need more octane (better fuel) or you will get detonation and break parts. High compression ratio motors can't take nearly the boost that low/lower compression motors do on pump fuel. Because of the Coyotes high compression ratio the safe boost limit on premium gas (93 octane) is about 10.5psi. Any more than that you are flirting with detonation and engine damage. It is not about what the motor can "make" with the coyote, it's about what the fuel can "make". The first limitation you run into with the Coyote is fuel, not breaking parts. So how much power can a Coyote make safely?: -On 93 octane and about 10.5lb of boost and spinning 7,000rpm a Coyote will make about 550hp. "But I have seen people make 650-700hp on a stock Coyote motor on pump gas!!!" you say. And here is where the "rub" is. Where the fuzzy math comes from, and some of the lies. Exhaust: A Stock Coyote MOTOR can make more than 550hp on pump gas…….notice we said MOTOR, not combination. Boost is simply a representation of restriction. If you reduce the restriction you will make less boost, the same power, but less boost. So if you reduce the restriction you can spin the blower faster (which will make more power) and still keep the boost to/under 10.5psi. A very basic and widely used method of reducing the restriction is to use long tube headers, off road X/H pipe (no cats) and a high flow cat back system. Preferably something 3". The reduction in exhaust restriction will drop the boost about 2psi. This means you can now spin the blower faster to make more power. 2psi is about 35-40hp. The exhaust is worth about 30-35hp. Now your stock Coyote MOTOR is making 615-625hp. The "problem" with this little exhaust trick is that it introduces fuzzy math into the conversation. The blower isn't really making more power. Well, it is, but all of the blowers are capable of upping the speed a little without running out of "breath". What happened is someone introduced a $2000 variable (the exhaust) into the discussion but they are claiming "stock motor". If you don't know the exhaust is now part of the conversation you could easily make the mistake that XYZ blower makes more power than ABC blower does. But that wouldn't be true. What made the difference was that one combo had another $2000 of exhaust into it. And that is nowhere near an apples to apples comparison. Unfortunately some supercharger manufacturers and vendors use this fuzzy math to give the impression that their product is better. Dyno Numbers: The exhaust trick is not the only way that fuzzy math happens. Dyno numbers are a HUGE factor when it comes to fuzzy math. Numbers from dyno to dyno are notoriously inconsistent. And that is when the dyno operators aren't trying to tweak the results. Hot Rod Magazine did a great article on dyno's and their results a few years ago. They took the same car (GT500) to 5 different dyno's over the period of a couple days. Guess what happened? Lots of confusion. The car "made" between 577 and 656hp. Yeah, that's right. A 79hp swing in results with NO changes to the car. Here is a link to the article if you want to read it (you should): http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/hrdp-1103-chassis-dyno-testing/ How much do you trust dyno numbers now? If you still put stock in them being some sort of "test" you're delusional. Dyno's were not designed to be compared to one another. Yeah, you can kinda sorta compare dyno to dyno a little. But they are not calibrated to a standard like let's say a torque wrench. A dyno is designed to test the difference in changes when making modifications, tuning, etc on the same car at the same dyno facility. They were only ever meant to compare to themselves. For example. You take your stock Mustang to a shop. They dyno it stock. They then put a blower on it, some exhaust, etc. Then they dyno it again. The result that you get is the difference those parts, tuning, etc made on YOUR car, that DAY (or couple of days). The dyno is not magically calibrated to every other dyno on the planet so they can be compared to each other. There are dyno's like that, but they are engine dynos (not wheels dyno's) and mostly used by the car manufacturers because they do have a standard (consistent unit of measurement) that they need to adhere to. But having a calibrated dyno is not enough. The testing procedure also needs to be standardized and adhered too. If not, the numbers mean nothing. When you see dyno numbers for XYZ car with XYZ mod don't forget that the tool used to measure the power (the dyno) and the procedures used to do the "test" are not standardized. If there is no standard, there is no consistency. And that is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dyno's. Dyno numbers can be fudged. It's very, very easy. Change a few parameters in the software and boom! More horsepower, just like magic! The testing process can also be manipulated to show bigger gains or bigger numbers. That is child's play. There is a massive difference between making a dyno run with the car stone cold, the hood open, huge fans blowing on it, a little more pressure in the tires, etc than driving the car in off the street, strapping it down, keeping the hood closed and running it with no cool down (you know, like every time you're driving your car). What you can away with on the dyno is different than what you can get away with in real life too. On the dyno everything is controlled and you have lots of sensors/data to monitor. On the street it's far more "wild west". You can get away with a couple more degrees of timing on the dyno. You can lean the mixture out a little more on the dyno. These are all things that will "make" more power. But you will not be driving around like that in real life. You don't want to be that close to the edge. Playing around with testing procedures can show 30-50hp with no problem. Fuel: We've seen one manufacturer make the statement that they test all of their stuff on 100 octane race fuel for "consistency". Yeah, maybe they have more consistency when comparing their stuff to their other stuff. But running race fuel and a couple more degrees (or a lot of degrees) of timing doesn't allow their numbers to be compared to everyone else's now does it? They could be up 30-40hp. RPM's: And yet another trend that we have been seeing is revving the crap out of blown Coyotes to "get" those big numbers. One very cool thing about the Coyote motor is the twin variable cam timing. In short what this does is allows the computer to adjust the cams so they can act like a "small" cam or a "big" cam when needed. Which allows them to make more power over a wider range of RPM's. This means you can rev the crap out of it and it won't "run out of cam" like it would if they were fixed or single variable. Rev the 3v 4.6L past about 6000rpm's and the power just goes flat. Rev the Coyote past 6,000, 7,000 even 7,500rpm with a blower on it and it just keeps making more and more power. Pretty cool, yes. But do you want to do that? Not if you want your motor to last very long you don't. The loads on the crankshaft, rods and pistons goes up exponentially as the RPM's increase. In short the load difference between 6,000 and 7,000rpm is a lot more than the difference between 5,000 and 6,000rpm. And the loads get real big up past 7,000. More load means more broken parts. A lot of manufacturers and vendors are all too happy to rev the guts out of their motors to show you those big HP numbers. If they blow the motor up they are prepared to replace it. It's the cost of doing business. They also don't plan on doing that over and over again for tens of thousands of miles. Are you prepared to shove a new motor in your car every time it blows up because you were revving the crap out of it? Are you prepared to reduce the life of the motor and associated components (alternators for example) to "get" those big numbers? Are you made of money? No, who really is. We have seen manufacturers and vendors rev stock Coyote motors to 7900rpm to show you a big number. 7900rpm!!!!! Are you nuts?!?!? You better have deep pockets if you want to do that. The Coyote will keep on making power the faster you rev it. There is a big jump in power between 7,000 and 7,900rpm's, up to 50hp. Some manufacturers/vendors will be happy to claim those big numbers up there. But are you ready to take the same risks? What Mods Does It Really Take To Make Those Numbers?: Lastly, what does it really take to make those numbers? This is related to the exhaust situation. Are those numbers "real" if you have to buy more parts to get them? For example we just saw a "test" done where "they" got another 90hp out of a "stock" Coyote with a blower. The problem is that to get that extra power they had to go with bigger injectors and fuel pump booster in addition to revving the crap out off it. Oh yeah, and a "splash" of race gas. We talked about revving the crap out of it and what that entails. How about the money for those injectors and pump booster? Where does that come from? The injectors were $960 and the pump booster $260…. for a total of $1220. It's all good if you're willing to spend that money for the extra power. But that doesn't make that particular blower better. It just means that the combination was pushed harder with more money and very importantly, race fuel. Suggesting that particular blower can do something the others can't or is better based on that "test" is ridiculous. Conclusion: So you can make about 550hp at about 10.5psi spinning 7,000rpm with a stock Yote. If you want to make about 600hp you will be into about $2000 more in exhaust. If you want to make 700hp you will be into another $1200 in injectors/pump booster, have to run race fuel and rev the guts out of it. And that doesn't even get near all of the other supporting mods you need to actually be able to DRIVE around with that extra power. How about a clutch? Maybe a transmission? Driveshaft? Rear suspension mods? Wheels and tires? There is a GIGANTIC difference between 550 and 700hp when it comes to the money spent. It's not just a matter of turning the dial up all the way and letting it rip. Take all "test" data with a grain of salt. As you saw from the examples above these "tests" can easily swing 100-150hp when you take things into account like more parts, testing procedures, dyno to dyno differences, etc. Be careful when comparing/shopping for blowers. Unless you're looking to spend a LOT of money and go for some stupid race car levels of power the actual blower (the compressor part of a blower kit) won't effect how much power you can make on the Coyote much at all. What you should be looking at cooling, quality, packaging (how it fits) and don't forget cost. Thanks and enjoy your Coyote!!! We have been getting some questions about this article. Some quick and easy, others more complex. We have decided to post up the questions (and answers) that are more complex and may be helpful to other people. Here they are: The Question: The Answer: Hey Garrett I'll try and break this down question by question. Hero Runs: The first thing to get out of the way is that we don't count dyno "hero runs" as real data. If it can't be replicated on the street at full operating temp where most people are driving their cars it's not a real HP number as far as we are concerned. When we say "it will make 550hp" we mean it will make 550hp in real life. Will our 550hp make more on a "hero run"? Absolutely. But we don't race dyno's and we aren't comfortable about padding numbers for the sake of looking cool. We believe in under-promising and over-delivering. That is not the case from what we see in most of the industry. Most of the time we see the opposite. Just yesterday I saw a post buy a guy who got a blower kit for his Coyote. He was told it would make 650 rear wheel hp. It was installed, the supplied tune was used and it made……….515hp. Yeah, the dyno could have been a little soft. But that is a LONG way off 650hp. An extreme example yes, not terribly uncommon though. You Can Make Over 550hp With A Coyote On Pump Gas: You can make over 550hp on pump gas with a Coyote. What you can't do (unless it is a real happy dyno and a "hero run" for the ages) is make over 550hp on a 100% stock Coyote with most out of the box blowers. This limit is an octane/boost limit. In some cases it's also a fuel injector or pump limit depending on the kit. Safe Limit On The 3v: The safe limit on the stock 4.6 3v is 450hp (some have pushed it to 500, some have paid for it). That was the rods breaking though, not an octane/fuel limit. If you forge the 4.6L 3v and leave the compression ratio stock (9.8:1) you reach its octane limit at about 17-18psi and 625-650hp. That is the simple version. If you drop the compression ratio when forging the motor (most do) you can push the boost to about 20psi on 93 octane. Most people stroke them to 5.0L when they forge them too which allows for the blower to spin faster (more power) while keeping the boost at 20psi. So there is more power to be had there. We've run our 4.6L 3v with 9.25:1 compression ratio to 776hp on 20lb of boost with 93 octane. That is a pretty special combo though. Combo being the key word here. "But I have Seen People Make More With Pump Gas": "There are just way too many people out there making much more than that on pump gas." But are they 100% stock with a 100% stock out of the box blower kit? Was it done on a "happy" dyno? Was the tune safe? Was it a hero run? That's where the "fudge factor" is at. You can absolutely make more than 550hp out of a Coyote on 93 octane. It costs more money in parts for the combination though. The focus of the article was to demonstrate that a lot of the time when comparing this blower to that blower the blowers aren't what is actually being compared. What is being compared is the additional/supporting mods that it took to make that power. And in some cases the dynos and testing procedures are being compared too. The Limit: As far as the "limit" goes there is a little fuzzy math there too. What is the "limit" really? Is it when parts break? Is it when you get knock (pre-ignition)? Even one "knock"? This is how we see the limit. The limit of the boost/fuel combo is when you have knock showing up in the logs (computer data). Even just a little. We don't like knock. Knock is bad. There is another "rub" here too. The ECU (computer) in the Coyote is really, really smart. Crazy smart actually. It's amazing what is coming from the OEM's stock and how much processing power they have. There is no way the stupid power numbers you see nowadays could be made without that sort of processing power. With some of that "smartness" comes the ability to find wiggle room when it comes to claimed power numbers though. Unlike in the old days when the motor knocks (to a point of course) it won't immediately start damaging stuff. The ECU will detect that knock and pull back the ignition timing, richen up the fuel mixture or even close the throttle blades. Or a combination of all those. It all depends on what the computer sees for data. The ECU will "save" the motor from itself. This is obviously a good thing. Here is where things get complicated and where you can see where a hero run can be worth so much power on the dyno. The ECU also monitors things like cylinder heat temp (CHT) and intake air temp post intercooler (IAT2). This data will be combined with things like knock data and depending on the big picture it draws for the ECU it will pull no, a little or lots of ignition timing. Add fuel. Or just shut the party down by closing the throttle blades. When you're on the dyno making a run with a 160deg CHT, a 75deg IAT2 and you get a bit of knock it may not pull timing, richen things, up, etc. But it probably won't knock at all with temps that low anyway. It will NOT run at those temps on the street in real life though. The CHT's will be more like 195-210deg and with most blower kits (not ours, ours are lower) you will see IAT2's at 120-130deg. Real life is a lot different than on the dyno. So what is the "limit"? The computer will obviously save the motor from itself, to a point. You could be driving around on the street down on power all the time from what it made on the dyno and it's still "safe". But is that really what you want to be doing? Leaning on the safeguards? Or do you want to set it up on the dyno, at street temperatures, and not lean on the safeguards? The former will show more power on the dyno. But it won't make more power in the real world. We feel that "the limit" is to be tested under real world conditions. Not fantasyland. The funny thing is that if you take a fantasyland/ hero run/ dyno queen that makes 600hp out on the street it will probably be SLOWER than the 550hp car that was set up for real world conditions on the dyno. When those safeguards kick in on the fantasyland setup they shut the fun down hard. The ECU is not correcting to "maximum safe street power at full temperature", it's correcting to SAFE. We recently saw one of the manufacturers say (I can't believe they said this in public) that their 650ish hp tune (I can't remember the number exactly) was safe at 12.5psi because if it saw knock, high IAT2's, high temps, etc it would simply shut the throttle a little bit. What I saw reading between the lines is "When conditions are perfectly favorable it will make 650hp at 12.5psi". The problem is that unless it's on the dyno or stone cold at the drag strip the conditions won't be perfectly favorable and it runs around with the throttles closed a bit all of the time……making less power. So does it really make 650hp? I say no. The Horsepower Thing: This entire horsepower thing has gotten way out of hand over the past 15-20yrs. One ingredient is that there are a lot more dynos out there now. Another is the internet. And lastly it being leveraged as a sales tool. "Back in the day" we didn't know how much power our cars made. We knew what we could beat in a race and maybe what it ran at the drag strip. There was no "dyno racing". We're not huge fans of using 1/4mi times to measure a street cars performance (working on an article about this now). A good street car is not a good drag car. There are no two ways about it. And there are a ton of variables in a1/4mi elapsed time (ET) other than horsepower. Traction, gearing, suspension setup, etc. So ET is not a good measure of the cars performance. But MPH is. For the most part XXXhp will make XXXmph at the drag strip (in the same kind of car) regardless of traction, etc. Yes it will vary some, but not nearly as much as ET. If someone really wanted to know what sort of power they are making they can go to the dragstrip, run the car at full operating temp and see what they get for a MPH. I can't tell you how many "600hp" cars I have seen run at the strip and only trap at 122-123mph. Guess what? That's not a 600hp car, that's a 500hp car. I don't care what the dyno graph says. What Would I Do To Make 700hp On 93 With A Coyote?: The big variable in this answer is do you want to do this on a stock motor? The answer gets two completely different suggestions. Stock Longblock Combo Well, this will be on the edge. No two ways about it. You can push all of the factors in your favor and you will still be hard pressed to get a real deal 700hp out of a stock long block on pump. And then comes the question of how long will it stay together. It will be on the fuel and mechanical limit. This is the combo I would run. -GT550-S197 Stage I -2013 GT500 2.3L TVS blower (or 2.9L Whipple) -A BIG TB. Something like the FPRR Cobra Jet -A BIG CAI. Something like the 127mm JLT, if not bigger -The biggest nastiest long tube headers I could find -A full 3" off road exhaust with some sort of "straight through" mufflers -Whatever it took for fuel system/pumps. I'm not real up on what will do exactly what and their limits. I would not rely and just a pump booster though personally. Some sort of big pump/pumps would make me feel better. -ID1000 injectors -The biggest nastiest heat exchanger I could get my hands on -The biggest nastiest intercooler water pump I could get my hands on -A quality harmonic balancer -Billet oil pump gears -170deg thermostat -Urethane motor mounts This will probably make a real 700hp. You will be spinning its guts out though. Probably past 7500rpm. And this combo will let go some day. It's not bulletproof. It's on the edge. Forged Motor Combo: This one is easier to hit 700hp with because of compression ratio and volumetric efficiency (which I'm not getting into here). It's also not as scary because the chances of parts flying out of it are a lot lower! -Forged bottom end with 9.0-9.25:1 pistons -GT550-S197 Stage I -2013 GT500 2.3L TVS blower (or 2.9L Whipple) -A BIG TB. Something like the FPRR Cobra Jet -A BIG CAI. Something like the 127mm JLT, if not bigger -The biggest nastiest long tube headers I could find -A full 3" off road exhaust with some sort of "straight through" mufflers -Whatever it took for fuel system/pumps. I'm not real up on what will do exactly what and their limits. I would not rely and just a pump booster though personally. Some sort of big pump/pumps. -ID1000 injectors -The biggest nastiest heat exchanger I could get my hands on -The biggest nastiest intercooler water pump I could get my hands on -A quality harmonic balancer -Billet oil pump gears -170deg thermostat -Urethane motor mounts This will make 700hp on pump pretty easy. Even easier with the 2.9L Whipple. You won't have to spin the motor as fast, but you can if you want. The forged bottom ends are a lot more tolerant of RPM. Summary: A stock Coyote makes about 365-370hp. Your standard blower kit will get you 550hp for $6500ish and $4700ish for our kit (less during the group buy, even less if you do a Stage I and build it up yourself). That is 185hp for $6500 with other kits for a $$$/hp ratio of $35/hp. Our kit is $25/hp. Going from 550hp to 700hp is ANOTHER 150hp. Almost the same jump that the blower itself made. That's a BIG jump. The stock longblock combo will cost about another $5900 for 150hp for a $$/hp ratio of $39/hp. So it's not at the point of diminishing returns, but it's getting there. The forged combo is about $10,000 for a $$/hp ratio of $66/hp. That is well into the point of diminishing returns. And remember, this doesn't include any labor. IMO going from 550-650hp makes sense. It can be done at a fairly safe level on a stock shortblock and doesn't cost any more than the original blower kit. Going from 650-700 is where the big bucks come out if you want to do it "safely". That last 50hp, which will just be extra tire smoke 99% of the time, is just not worth all the time and effort. I hope this answers all of you questions

This look is all about being effortlessly chic and comfortable in a busy city. For me, this is an outfit that is perfect for exploring the city, going to work or even a date with your friends. Both my Top and Culottes are from Collate The Label.
The Top is stunning on its own, it is a tiered Top with Organza layers, in the perfect shade of Pastel Pink (I love that it is feminine yet very structured). I had actually bought the Top a few months ago and had worn it several times with white trousers and jeans, it's beautiful on its own.
But when I tried it with the matching Culottes recently, I fell in love with the entire look. I don't usually go for matching sets, but this was a gorgeous exception that had to be made. I accessorised the outfit with a pair of very comfortable metallic shoes and gold jewelry.
Hope this inspires you, as much as it has inspired me to add some matching sets to your wardrobe.
This photoshoot was done by the lovely Natalie from Interlaced Media.

How to Properly Install Owens Corning ASJ Max Fiberglass Pipe Insulation
Posted by BIP on 15th Nov 2018
Owens Corning ASJ Max Fiberglass Pipe Insulation Installation Instructions:
1. To open the hinged insulation section, pull the lap with the release strip from the jacket.
2. Open the hinged sections and place the insulation over the pipe, taking care not to get dirt, dust or
moisture on the overlap area. While preparing to close the insulation, take care not to allow the adhesive
on the jacket to contact anything until the insulation is properly lined up and closed over the pipe.
3. Pull the release strip from the jacket lap. Start by pulling the lap down at the middle until the adhesive
touches the adhesive strip on the jacket. Press together. Rub firmly with a squeegee from the middle of the section towards the end until the lap is securely adhered to the jacket.
4. Apply the matching butt strip centered over the adjoining pipe sections, and rub with firm pressure to
complete the positive closure.
5. If the operating temperature of the system is above 100°F (37°C), it is recommend that if the pipe
insulation terminates with an exposed end, apply mastic over the exposed end, per the mastic
manufacturer's instructions.
6. If the operating temperature of the system is below 100°F (37°C), the pipe insulation terminated
exposed end shall be sealed with a vapor barrier mastic applied over the exposed end per the mastic
manufacturer's instructions.
7. Apply systems identification labels by pressure-sensitive labels, or by stencil with spray paint.

Damn, boots cost money son!
Gout slowed me down today
More than I've been walkin
The day isn't even over... It's a low step count for me since not working, but look at my intake. I used to get the cold sweats a few months ago if my "blood sugar was low".. yet today I've eaten an ounce of cheese, two ounces of dry salami, and coffee with a teaspoon of sugar.
I haven't felt any "blood sugar" issues at all today, and haven't had many at all since this keto diet.
Yes I'll drink more water, the days only half over
The calorie deficit isn't accurate on the Fitbit... I'm using a keto app for the calorie deficit and carb control.
Shred the FUPA
Projection isnt an ideal coping skill for one's own weight loss.
Now, where's that apple pie?
You must mean apple fritter.
Good call
Latest firmware update bricked the button on my charge 3.
Sorry jangles. It looks and sounds like you are rocking the diet. Keep up the good work
Thanks L OG
Hopefully "Ricardo H and the Fitbit Team" will take care of you. Lol
Took the Fitbit off and charged it Tuesday and didn't put it on until later Wednesday or I was lazy
This was today...
It's on your non dominant hand correct?
Good hustle sir
Getting right to it. I'm still surprised at how many steps I take somedays.
Sounds like you'll be getting a new Fitbit! My new Versa wouldn't sync the time (was always 3 minutes off) so they sent me a new one.

Hundred Octane
Rocking S i n C e 1 9 9 3 . . and after several line up changes, we musicians have never surrendered to the hardest times and the saddest moments. The final result is a revelation of sorts, an entity that is indestructible, invincible, irreversible , insatiable, inimitable, and having the sound of thunder and the daze of metal. Hundred Octane is a band that draws on purpLe, floyd, cornell, maiden, pearl jam, manowar, hetfield...and yet remains uniquely spectacular.
The rare quality of superb music writing stacked with matchin' lyrics & above all, fashioned with tht deep thought provoking voice is what we are all about. MUSIC in MADNESS and MELODY in MAYHEM is wat we believe in.
Since our explosion on the scene in the early nineties Hundred Octane have been hailed as one of the Delhi's greatest live acts of all time with their fiery brand of music, spectacle and live performance all of which has excited their fans for over two decades. It has been so, all these years, it probably will be so awhile. Small wonder then, if you see the same old faces. It only keeps getting rockier and rolliest. Especially the one's that are dished out with that screeching violin. Or one's that begin with about thirty fiery balls of fire, not in one bang, but a million colors ... so to say :)
No, it's not just about ourselves. Nowhere close to it. In fact, we made New Delhi's first-ever concert for AIDS AWARENESS. Getting the message, quite literally, on to the streets, bang into the heart of the University campus (pun, again, intended). But that was back in 1992. We still feel strongly about certain issues, a whole lot of those, and we let them know. If they're willing to go out and listen to music that makes sense, why not make sense that makes some sense to them then.
It's a big bad word, this. It takes away a few good souls every now and then. (Of course HE needs to keep the scene going up there, fair enough !) But, it isn't that way for us. Rock and roll keeps us alive. Like Pink Floyd have, Zeppelin of course, or even Purple, Skynyrd, Hendrix, Allman Brothers, and Doors, sixty million others that would need as many pages of this damnable keying in. What matters, is, that they had their men, and women, preferring the scene above, but their songs are as good as right now. So be it. Rock on...
Inclinations of the lot point to a blues and rock and roll influence, with a generous helping of the Indian character. The language used in their songs is Rock and Roll and the message, human, already heard all around and in and over India. Around a thousand concerts, of approximately a hundred and twenty-six minutes each(..on average) = an audience of hundreds of thousands.. (Not counting the stoned or the sleeping). And that's just the live playing. And just so we bloody well prove it while we're at it.

From Treasure Island, Florida, USA:
My four-year-old, who has no known history of diabetes, had an A1c of 5.7 based on the adult scale of 4.5 to 6.0. To my understanding, that would mean her glucose levels have averaged between 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L] to 135 mg/dl [7.5 mmol/L] in the past 90 days. A normal glucose for a child of her age is 60 mg/dl [3.3 mmol/L] to 100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/L]. Does the A1c result of 5.7 indicate that she is pre-diabetic or diabetic?
I would not be concerned about a "high normal" A1c in an otherwise normal child, (even if the child has a strong family history of type 1 diabetes. The precision (often expressed as the coefficient of variation) of the A1c value and the reference range can depend on the assay being used (for example, the DCA 2000 versus a home A1c kit) and also within an individual since it can be affected by small differences in hemoglobin types. Also, in children, stress and/or illness can sometimes elevate blood sugars transiently, without diabetes arising later.
If you have a family history of type 1 diabetes and are interested in getting your child screened with antibodies, I would check and see if your child is eligible for any open protocols through TrialNet as a first step.

By Marjorie Johnson, J.D.
A reasonable jury could find that a female radio DJ's statement to her employer that she was seeking other employment offers was part of her protected activity of demanding equal pay for equal work, and not a legitimate reason for firing her. Denying summary judgment against her on her gender bias and retaliation claims, a federal court in Tennessee also found that triable issues existed as to whether her state law claims were time-barred by her employment contract and whether a male colleague who was paid more than her was similarly situated (Wheeler v. Saga Communication of Tuckessee, LLC, June 7, 2018, Crenshaw, W.).
The employee worked as an "on air personality" for a radio broadcasting company that operated seven radio stations in Clarksville, Tennessee. During her tenure, she worked for three of those stations. One was the largest-watt station, generating the most revenue, another was the second-largest, and the third was a smaller station. On-air personalities that worked the morning-drive shift (5:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.) were generally paid the highest while those that worked the afternoon-drive shift (2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) were generally paid the second-highest.
Lowest annual salary. When she was hired in 2007, the employee received an annual salary of $22,000, which was the lowest for any on-air personality. She signed a 12-month contract each year, and her 2015 contract provided her a $24,000 annual salary. Though company records showed she received more, she was still paid less than her male colleagues. That year, she worked the 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. shift for the second-largest station and the afternoon-drive shift for the smaller station. She also worked weekend shifts on both station.
Seeks job with better pay. After she inadvertently saw documentation that a male on-air personality had an annual salary of $36,000, she began looking for other employment opportunities. When her supervisor presented her with a contract for the 2016 calendar year with a salary of $24,000, she indicated that she was hesitant to sign it since she was being paid less than her male counterparts. A few days later, he told her that he was surprised about how little she was making and that he would convey her complaints to his manager.
On November 30, she asked for more time to decide whether to sign the contract. He informed his manager, who instructed him to give her until December 11 to decide. When he later asked her if she was ready to sign the 2016 contract, she stated she was not because she was expecting a more lucrative job offer. His manager then authorized him to offer her a temporary 30-day contract, which ran through January and which she signed.
On January 11, the manager told the employee that she was not going to be getting any more money and "there is no discussion to be had about that." In response, she indicated that she would sign the contract, but would ask to be released if she received a better offer during the year. He responded, "I'm not going to renew your contract. I'm going to give you the gift of freedom to pursue another opportunity where you won't feel that you're being discriminated against." She then indicated that she was disappointed that her pay was lower than her male counterparts after being with the company for nine years and that he chose to treat her poorly when raising the issue.
Seeking other offers as protected activity. The employer argued that she could not prove the causation element of her retaliation claims since she was not terminated for complaining about gender discrimination, but because she stated that she would not honor her twelve-month contract if she received a more lucrative offer. This argument did not entitle it to summary judgment, however, since a reasonable jury could find that her statement that she would consider other offers was part of her protected activity of demanding equal pay for equal work. In effect, she only stated she would consider other offers because she was being paid less than men and felt discriminated against. Indeed, the fact that the employer admitted that this was the reason it terminated her showed that a reasonable jury could find that her protected activity was the "but-for" cause of her termination.
Did contractual limitations period bar state law claims? The employer also argued that her state law claims were time-barred pursuant to her employment contract. Though these claims were timely under the statutory one-year limitations periods since she filed her lawsuit 11 months after her termination, her 2015 employment agreement contained a clause in which she agreed to bring any employment-related actions within six months and to waive "any statutes of limitations to the contrary." However, a triable issue existed as to whether her 2015 contract was in effect at the time of her termination. Though the employer argued that her 30-day contract simply extended the 2015 contract, she testified that it was a separately executed contract.
Male comparators. The court also rejected the employer's contention that her gender bias claims failed since she could not establish that she was treated differently than any similarly-situated male employee. She pointed to two male comparators and it undisputed that at least one of them performed the same work but had a higher salary. Moreover, although he worked at the largest radio station, there was no evidence that the radio personalities got paid differently based on which station they worked at. Rather, the record only showed radio personalities who worked the afternoon drive were generally paid more than the second-highest and that the employee, working the afternoon shift, was paid the lowest of all the on-air radio personalities.

Probiotics and Prebiotics. They sound the same, but they're quite different, and have different implications for the gut.
Probiotics are living micro-organisms, often bacterial, that are similar to the bacteria that naturally occur in the human body – particularly the intestine, and even more particularly the intestine of a healthy, breastfed baby.
These micro-organisms have been shown to provide health benefits when ingested, and are reported to be especially helpful for those with intestinal and inflammatory disorders, specifically ulcerative colitis.
Prebiotics, on the other hand, are "food" for certain groups of bacteria. They themselves are not living bacteria, but are carbohydrates that are not normally digested (such as fibre), that are contained in many natural food items like fruits and legumes and whole grains.
When you ingest prebiotics, you selectively increase certain population of bacteria that consume that prebiotic. In this way, you increase your own probiotic bacteria.
Caution should be used with dramatic claims that specific products containing probiotics can reduce active intestinal inflammation, and not all probiotic bacteria strains are the same. But study results from animal models on prevention of disease are encouraging.
Clinical studies in mouse models sugggest that probiotics may help reduce flares and prevent complications of Crohn's or colitis such as pouchitis. Probiotics are typically considered safe to use as very few adverse effects have been reported, with increased gas being the main complaint.
However, variability across clinical studies, such as doses and types of probiotics used, make it difficult for experts to draw conclusions about the efficacy of probiotic use in the management of inflammatory bowel diseases. Further studies are needed to determine how effective probiotics may be in bringing about remission or maintaining remission in Crohn's and colitis.
People with Crohn's or colitis should be aware of what probiotics supplements they're taking. Make sure the product you choose has a drug information number (DIN), natural product number (NPN) or homeopathic number (DIN-HM) and talk to your doctor before starting the product. Decicions about the use probiotics in your disease management should be communicated with your health care providers.

Dual-purpose fund
Dual-purpose fund
A closed-end fund consisting of two classes of shares. The two classes are preferred shares, on which shareholders receive all the dividends and interest from the portfolio, and common shares, on which shareholders receive all the capital gains.
Dual Purpose Fund
A closed-end fund that offers two types of shares: income shares and capital shares. Income shares offer holders a portion of the fixed return on the fund's portfolio, and attract low-risk investors. Capital shares do not offer a portion on the fixed return, but instead offer holders a portion of the returns on stocks or similar investments, attracting medium- or high-risk investors. An advantage to the dual purpose fund is that it offers shareholders a choice as to which type of investment they would like to make.

stand over me" just as I drive under
neon-green signals on a patina-green bridge
where one state's border meets another's
and fog numbs every other color.
These arrows mean to say east east east yet aim
low at Earth's core, as if to bore straight
through hood, engine, hub cap, and river mud.
But to assume that vectors or words focus down
on me, protectorate, like high carved eagles
turning verdigris, is too private a luxury, subsidized
by present ease. Anne still roves in pain; I do not.
No, at least for this trip I merely scan for signs
dividing monochrome lanes, overhearing sirens
of red, red, red, when none can be seen.
by Therese L. Broderick
NOTE: The quoted excerpt comes from the lines "The great green people stand / over me…" from Anne Sexton's poem "The Operation." I listened to her read the poem on the audio CD set Poetry Speaks edited by Elise Paschen and Rebekah Presson Mosby (Sourcebooks, 2001).

Very nice but heavy on the foot. How about Made NOT in China? - at least until Canadians can visit or work in that country without fear of being thrown in prison and kept there indefinitely FOR NO REASON. And until Canadian Canola farmers and pork producers can sell their extra high quality products there without hindrance from a bullying central government which refuses to play fair simply because it can. John?
Great to see fisherman sandals, but how about something less chunky? I would love a sleek, dressy pair of fisherman sandals to wear with my linen suit in the summer.

For a lifelong academic such as I, the start of a new school year is similar to the feeling of celebrating a birthday: There is much anticipation, excitement and happiness. And while there are no presents to unwrap as this school year begins, the gift of seeing the growing Bastyr University community alive with spirit and vibrancy provides a satisfaction to which no material object can compare. Here are a few highlights for September 2013.San Diego Campus Turns One
The start of this school year coincides with at least one big birthday: Our San Diego campus turns 1 year old! On September 14, Bastyr University California will celebrate 365 days of existence. Since it opened, the campus has received a warm welcome from the local community, and being the first accredited school for naturopathic medicine in the state has resulted in a flood of admissions applications. Year two promises continued growth, including more classrooms, laboratories and a relocation and expansion of the clinic. Mollie Katzen Speaks
Late in the month we partner with the King County Library System (KCLS) to host celebrated cookbook author Mollie Katzen as part of the KCLS "A Place at the Table" series. Katzen will be on campus for a free talk on September 27, discussing creative menus for a plant-based diet and introducing her new book The Heart of the Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New Generation. Be sure to arrive early to ensure a seat at this presentation.Living Naturally Series Resumes
Speaking of food presentations, Bastyr Center for Natural Health resumes its free Living Naturally lectures September 5, with How to Eat Healthy on a Budget. Two Master of Science in Nutrition students, Lisa Holman and Stephanie Fairweather, will lead the discussion and share their tips for living frugally while eating a healthy diet. I can think of no better people to shed light on this topic than college students! The series continues Sept. 12 with the talk "Natural Treatments for Menopause" by Debra Brammer, ND, and Weiyi Ding, MD (China), MS, LAc.$20 Student Visits at Bastyr Center
Another way for college students to save money while staying healthy begins this month at our Seattle teaching clinic. From September 3 - October 31, Bastyr Center offers $20 visits for university students. If you or someone you care about is enrolled in a college or university, now is a great time to receive high-quality care from our team of naturopathic doctors, who have been judged some of the best in the region when it comes to patient satisfaction.Cutting-Edge Research
The Bastyr University Research Institute is constantly working on interesting and often pioneering studies. Here are a few examples of what is taking place in our labs: How probiotics may protect against an alarming drug-resistant superbug; how saunas may help with detoxification; and whether ingesting turkey tail mushrooms will help the immune systems of those fighting prostate cancer. Click here to learn more about the studies and how to participate.
Yet another new school year is upon us and I could not be more excited. Consider this message your invitation to the party; check back here often to see what develops on our campuses and in our clinics. There is no need to RSVP!

At what point do we realize we're living int he Twilight Zone?
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhohkar Tsarnaev was moved from a hospital to a federal prison medical center, while FBI agents searched for evidence Friday in a landfill near the college he was attending. …
U.S. officials, meanwhile, said that the bombing suspects' mother had been added to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the deadly attack — a disclosure that deepens the mystery around the Tsarnaev family and marks the first time American authorities have acknowledged that Zubeidat Tsarnaeva was under investigation before the tragedy.
The news is certain to fuel questions about whether the Obama administration missed opportunities to thwart the April 15 bombing that killed three people and wounded more than 260.
Tsarnaev is charged with joining with his older brother, now dead, in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs. The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who came to the United States about a decade ago with their parents. Investigators have said it appears that the brothers were angry about the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Two government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation, said the CIA had Zubeidat Tsarnaeva's name added to the terror database along with that of her son Tamerlan Tsarnaev after Russia contacted the agency in 2011 with concerns that the two were religious militants.
This would all be rather hilarious if we didn't have four people dead and over 170 people injured. In fact, it would be a bigger knee-slapper if we didn't have to remember names like Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, Najibullah Zazi, Nadal Malik Hassan, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (who could forget our beloved underwear bomber?), and Faisal Shahzad. Pretty soon there will almost be enough terrorist running around on American soil to put them in their own version of "Real World." Perhaps it will air on Current TV. Who wouldn't be interested in following the exploits of the underwear bomber, who is looking for love but having a tough time since he incinerated Allah-his family jewels?
Low blow? Don't blame me. He was the one who tried to kill Americans over the Christmas holidays by detonating plastic explosives in his underwear.
Remember when we were told that authorities didn't know who perpetrated the April 15 terror attacks in Boston, and then millions of Americans started looking at online images to find suspicious people, sending in cell phone images to the FBI and trying to do the right thing? I do. But it turns out that the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and the CIA had a very clear idea of who to look for within minutes. They had to, because an entire family of welfare-collecting psycho-jihadists were on their terror lists.
Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned.
State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state's Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev's attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home.
In addition, both of Tsarnaev's parents received benefits, and accused brother bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger, according to the state.
Got that? Taxpayer subsidized jihad, courtesy of the state of Massachusetts. It's now possible be on a terror list and a welfare role at the same time. Is it possible that maybe — just maybe — the government is too big and doing too many things if these are the types of scenarios we are finding ourselves in?
The United States now has the sad distinction of having brought over immigrants, who then attended radical mosques, collected welfare, got put on terror watch lists, and ultimately killed and maimed innocent Americans.
The excuse? Spelling errors.
Imagine, if you will, that George W. Bush was still president. What do you think the media landscape would look like? Welcome … to The Twilight Zone.

Connor Halliday is the best quarterback in the country, according to Connor Halliday's coach.
After talking up the Pac-12's depth behind center on Wednesday, Washington State's Mike Leach said he would take his redshirt senior over just about anybody else.
"You might be rooting for your guy, and I don't care what you think," Leach said. "He's better than your guy is."
Some other Pac-12 Media Day highlights from the conference's most quotable coach (as well as other coaches and players) …
» Asked how he would pick a bear-hunting partner between Washington coach Chris Petersen and Utah coach Kyle Whittingham: "We get a large bag and we stick in Coach Petersen, Coach Whittingham, and we shake that bag up really high and really hard."
» On his fishing trip this summer: "My staff and I went fishing up in McCall, Idaho on the Snake River and got a huge 9.5-foot, 350-pound sturgeon, probably 95 years old. Of course, turned him loose so he could pull somebody else's boat around for a while next time." Continue reading "Pac-12 notes: Mike Leach thinks Connor Halliday is better than your quarterback" »

Signs and Symptoms of PTSD : Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
A very normal response to a tragic and abnormal event, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common form of mental illness brought on by exposure to serious trauma and events. People who suffer from this disorder are not always soldiers returning from the war front as we once thought. In fact, car accidents, cycling accidents and violent assaults are some of leading causes of PTSD.
When do PTSD symptoms appear?
While it is normal to be upset and anxious after a traumatic event, symptoms usually disappear within a few weeks. When they fade or get worse over time, PTSD may be the cause.
Signs and Symptoms of PTSD
There are several signs and symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that are fairly easy to detect. Regular flashbacks of the tragedy, nightmares, constant anxiety and fear are all typical hallmarks. In addition, several risk factors increase the likelihood that someone will develop PTSD following an accident or tragedy. If the accident was particularity severe, if the victim was catastrophically injured or feels that their life was threatened by the accident or if the victim has had a previous traumatic experience or history of mental illness, there is a greater likelihood that the disorder will develop.
Lately, there seems to be an increased awareness of PTSD, but those who suffer still struggle when bringing claims related to non-physical injuries to court. Medical evidence is always key to proving your condition. If you have suffered a trauma and are experiencing symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, you should seek medical attention as quickly as possible to reduce the symptoms and allow you to cope better. It will also be helpful keep records of everything that you have experienced in the aftermath of the traumatic incident.
The success of a personal injury claim for PTSD always depends on the nature of the injury as well as the medical diagnosis and the evidence. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you make the claim with making claims and get you compensation for your treatment, loss of income, pain and suffering and other damages.

When you detect a breast lump, you should take it seriously. Any woman who detects a breast lump should check it over with their doctor, especially if it's a new lump. Could it be nothing? Certainly. In most cases, a breast lump is not cancer. What you have to understand is you're trying to detect the problem early and if, in fact, it is cancer, denying it, or hiding it, or not talking about it can be a shortcut to disaster. It gives more chance for the cancer to spread throughout the body and cause issues.

The Other Side Of Truth
Paul Kimball shares with us the cover of his forthcoming book, which looks to be a good, thought-provoking study of paranormal phenomena, The Other Side Of Truth!
4 comments:
All part of my scheme to expand the Redstar multi-media empire, amigo. We'll have to get a Nick Redfern opus in the works sooner rather than later!ReplyDelete
Yeah, could do that! I typically submit about 10 or so ideas to publishers each year, only about 2 or 3 of which ever get accepted and published, so, in other words, I have loads of book ideas and even a lot of half-finished books that got turned down for being too obscure etc LOLReplyDelete
Nice! Although the block with the main title feels a bit too heavy —yep, I'm anal when it comes to book graphics ;)ReplyDelete
So, should we expect the book to come out before the wo— I mean, before the year is over?
It will be available in November. And I dig heavy. :-)

For the second day of our stay in Kyoto, we took the train to the city of Itami, near Osaka, to be received by the Toyo Rubber team in their technical center.
The company , which specializes in the production of Toyo and Nitto tires, but also in rubber products for various purposes, was possible to be visited because it is the company in which Amelie's father is working in the canadian division. Having already received Japanese employees from Toyo in their Quebec's home, it was their turn to welcome us warmly.
After offering us lunch, we assisted at the manager presentation, followed by the viewing of the promotional videos, which are available on Youtube. The visit ended with a complete tour of the installations that was very interesting.
The making process of tires is a lot more complicated than it seems to be. Indeed, the engineers first use simulation softwares to elaborate new designs for tires. Those softwares allow them to simulate road tests to compare the different parameters of a design and they also allow them to make representation of the molecular assembly to see how the material will influence the tire. After making multiple testings on the software, they can go to the prototype making step. It usually needs 4 to 5 prototypes to be able to get a satisfaying new model. Those are generally handmade, to later create an expensive mold for the mass production. This process is done every year.
The making process is very expensive. After creating the new tire, it will pass many different tests, like acoustic, resistance et performance on ice, to make sure that the tire is set to the higher norms of the industry. The Toyo Rubber installations were really impressive with the acoustic room and the different test machines that are worth many millions of dollars each. The company also have 2 tests tracks in Japan : one in Saroma in the North to test winter tires and one South for the summer testing.
We all enjoyed our experience at Toyo Rubber and it was very rewarding to see all the theories we see in our classes being used in a complex working environment. We all hope a future partnership will be established between ETS and this innovative company so that future engineers can have an internship in this wonderful country.

"The Federal Government has a spending problem. While the Democrats continue to propose to add trillions of dollars in new spending and new taxes, I am keeping my promise to my constituents to responsibly cut government spending in order to get the American Fiscal House back in order," says West.
In addition, he is also submitting legislation to accomplish the following:
- A House Resolution to reduce the printing and reproduction budget by 10%. Would generate $35.7 million in savings in FY12, reaching nearly $180 million in savings through FY16.
- A House Resolution to reduce funding for Defense studies, analysis and evaluations by 10%. This would purportedly generate a savings of $24 million in FY12, returning up to $120 million to the treasury through FY16.
Submit your idea for spending cuts.

Direct you to where you might find an Asian lorisine at the zoo? "Not a chance," I would say—at least that's what I used to say—until I was introduced to one as a professional zoo keeper.
As a kid, enamored with zoos and zoo animals, I was impressed with charismatic megafauna and utterly unimpressed with anything less. It wasn't until I actually joined the ranks of my professional zoo colleagues that I discovered certain critters even existed on this planet—like the fascinating and remarkable slow loris.
Before the advent of zoogeographically-themed, immersion exhibits, members of these 5 species of extant lorisine prosimians, named after the Dutch word for "clown," were typically displayed only in nocturnal houses and small mammal exhibits or viewable off exhibit. I only ventured into such buildings as a shortcut to get somewhere else. I couldn't tell you what was inside them and I certainly knew nothing about the natural history of lorisids.
Today people are drawn to these more "humble" denizens of the night, in part because they are displayed in more engaging naturalistic exhibits than ever before. They are also displayed as a part of an assemblage of South Asian fauna, which conveys the role of these little primates in their forested ecosystems.
Through placement of animals in an appropriate educational context, these living institutions are teaching people to protect habitat as far away as Indonesian rainforests. And indeed, they are helping to conserve species on the brink of extinction beyond lorises and other flagship species that are found in prestigious zoological park collections. But zoos and prosimian biologists need more help to get the word out about these vanishing species, and fast.
Lorises are insectivorous, lower primates that are disappearing quickly as a result of several factors, which impact a multitude of other faunal groups in the region. Habitat loss, collection for the pet trade, and use in Eastern Medicine are three primary issues influencing the demise of these prosimians.
To draw attention to the plight of slender and slow lorises, we announce the celebration of Loris Awareness Week, which begins next week.
Here is a link to the Los Angeles Zoo's natural history profile for slow lorises. And to learn more about what you can do to conserve these rare creatures, visit the website of prosimian biologist Dr. Anna Nekaris and her team of researchers.

So I decided that I have lots of cool photos from the past several years I have been shooting and since I didn't have a blog back then most haven't been seen by you guys. With that in mind I have decided to start posting short blogs highlighting random images from my archive. Along with the image I plan to include some background info on the image and how it was shot. Continue reading to here more about the photo.
I remember really wanting to shoot the 2006 Rose Bowl which was the National Championship matchup between USC and Texas.
I was still in the Navy at the time stationed in Seattle, WA but I took vacation at the beginning of the year and two days before the game I was lucky enough to secure a credential. In what still is one of the most amazing football games I have ever shot, Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young ran the winning touchdown into the end zone right towards me with 19 seconds remaining on the clock (below).
Nikon D2x, 80-200mm, 800iso, f2.8, 1/500th, Aperture Priority
After time expired ending the game the underdog Texas Longhorns were the National Champions and Vince Young jumped on the bench near the crowd and celebrated in a shower of confetti.
When I saw him climb up there to celebrate I got as close to him as I could and shot the celebration. The only problem was you couldn't see his face because I was several feet beneath him.
Nikon D2x, 12-24mm, 500iso, f7.1, 1/100th, Manual, SB80 Flash
By moving right in front of him I could now see his face but I was still too low.
Nikon D2x, 12-24mm, 500iso, f7.1, 1/100th, Manual, SB80 Flash
My last attempt I moved further to the other side and held the camera over my head and began jumping up and down, each time I would jump I would fire a hail mary photo to try and have the camera aimed properly. Although I had numerous crappy images I ended up with the below frame that worked pretty well (excluding his fingertip being cut off.)
Nikon D2x, 12-24mm, 500iso, f7.1, 1/100th, Manual, SB80 Flash
I hope to do small random photo blogs a few times a week. Let me know what you guys think of the idea and/or any suggestions you may have. Thanks.
Any time that we get to see more updates to the blog is fine by me mark. Great stuff
I really like this post. I also enjoy seeing the image in use on the CBS Sports site. Would love to see more of these incorporated into your posts as well. Please post as often as you like and I'll be catching every one of them. Cheers!
Great idea; look forward to seeing more from your archives and hearing about how your shooting has evolved over the years.
I am definitely for the addition of more posts. This is one of the few blogs I get excited to read when there is a new post.
Hi Mark,
WOW!!! Awesome shots of Vince Young. I have enjoyed all your blogs so far. Goooo Horns!!!!!!!
I like it!
The short blurb is nice for a quick read during a busy day.
Really enjoy all you posts and love the details!
Yes please – always enjoy your work. Look forward to more from the past.
All the best
Haha, the cut off finger seems not to matter. they cut his whole arm off 🙂
nice stuff, greetz from hamburg
a good idea to start this kind of posts! interesting background story about the photo!
greetings from germany
Great photos, I personally would like to see more photos from this game but happy with what is presented. And yes I would like to see your archival material. Interesting where the 3 key players from this game are in their career, Leinart (2nd string), Young (rarely plays) and Bush (starter)

A study conducted over a decade. Hopefully this will slay once and for all the widely promulgated horseshit that: "you don't need to supplement, you can get everything you need from your diet". (Yes, I'm talking to many of you RJers lurking in here, you know who you are).
