Business owner and prolific Instagrammer has just posted up a picture of his upcoming bespoke Pagani Huayra. Khoshbin will become the latest well-known enthusiast on social media alongside the likes of Alejandro Salomon and Kris Singh to take delivery of a custom Pagani Huayra.
While it remains unclear at this stage if Khoshbin’s Huayra will wear a unique name like Salomon and Singh’s but even if it doesn’t, this rendering reveals that it will look unlike any other.
For starters and as with most other Huayra models produced, it will be finished largely in carbon fibre. As a matter of fact, this image shows that the rear fascia will be adorned entirely in carbon fibre, excluding the sides of the rear bumper. Elsewhere, the taillight clusters will be made from carbon as will the rear quarter panels and a stripe running the length of the rear decklid.
Beyond these elements, Khoshbin’s custom Huayra will be adorned with bright orange painted elements to make it really stand out. We can also see that it has a blacked-out rear badge as well as the gloss black wheels of the Zonda R, also featured on Singh’s Huayra La Monza Lisa. However, Khoshbin’s will have an orange outer rim as well as orange brake calipers.
Most Pagani Huayra models produced so far utilise the same 6.0-litre twin-turbo AMG V8 engine delivering 730 hp and mated to a seven-speed transmission. However, it is reported that the Huayra La Monza Lisa has well in excess of 730 hp. It is therefore unclear if this latest Huayra will have any mechanical tweaks as well.
When it is delivered, it will join the likes of a Mansory Bugatti Veyron, twin-turbo Saleen S7, multiple Rolls-Royce models, a McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder among others in Khoshbin’s collection.

Though the Coney Island dog has become synonymous with Detroit, some trace its origins even further back in America?s history. As the legend goes, Greek immigrants first brought the hot dog from New York?s Ellis Island to the Motor City, where they proceeded to make it their own by adding toppings such as beanless chili. Though its origins may be hotly debated, most agree that the Coney dog had little to do with Fort Wayne until the owners of Detroit?s Finest Coney Island began peddling the treat from their modest food cart. The dog soon proved so popular with locals that they were forced to open a brick-and-mortar restaurant, where they continue to capture the distinctive flavors of Detroit?s Greektown between two buns. The cooks at Detroit?s Finest follow a strict recipe when crafting their special hot dogs. The dogs themselves must be comprised of 80% beef and 20% pork and wrapped in an all-natural casing. Then come the toppings: authentic beanless Coney chili, mustard, and diced onions. Yet the Coney dog isn?t the only item on the menu?to create traditional loose burgers, the cooks simply swap out the hot dog for seasoned ground beef. Sweet and spicy root beer complements these messy entrees and honors Detroit?s history with a nod to the carbonation-powered engines that ignited that city?s famed heyday.
In order to permeate T8STE Tizzzzz’s congenial atmosphere with a perfume of sweetness and smoke, cooks slowly tenderize meats over hickory and oak before dousing them in housemade sauce. The eatery's soul food is among the best local eats, according to the Journal Gazette in 2011, and for a profile in the same publication, critic Ryan DuVall heaped praise on the restaurant’s burnt brisket ends, which spend 20 hours in a smoker.
The menu has a distinct Kansas City character, which is a result of owner Curtis Gregory's upbringing in KC. Rib tips and wings serve as alternatives to sandwiches overflowing with pulled pork or shaved brisket, and each plate can fill in with “fixins” of dirty rice or tender collard greens, or with thick slices of coconut pound cake.
Inside HoneyBaked Ham, chefs uphold the same traditions that Harry J. Hoenselaar created more than 40 years ago. Back then, he chose individual hams, cured them in his secret marinade, and smoked them over hardwood chips before offsetting the earthy flavor with a crisp, sweet glaze. To this day, the staff makes the signature bone-in hams one at a time and glazes them in the shop.
To go with the meats, the kitchen whips up classic side dishes and desserts, such as the sweet-potato souffl?. For less formal feasting, party trays and packed lunch boxes fuel business meetings, backyard grad parties, and lengthy end-zone celebrations.
Under the shadow of the Grabill water tower, Grabill Country Sales fills its shelves with a wide selection of groceries. Beside racks of spices and dry goods, flaky baked goods tempt sweet teeth with fresh apple and cherry pies or donuts made onsite. Their deli section is populated with turkey breast and sliced cheeses alongside carry-out side dishes, fish, ribs, and chicken cooked rotisserie-style so that it can be eaten from any angle.
For more than three decades, bowlers have settled scores atop the 56 glossy lanes at Pro Bowl West. Recently, the alley has been revamped to add flat-screen scoring monitors and new furniture, house balls, and shoes. Customers enjoy the new accouterments during open-bowling hours or lessons given by the experts at Charlie's Pro Shop. Exhaustion and rumbling tummies naturally steers patrons toward the Alley Sports Café & Grill, an old-timey diner that slings a popular pork-tenderloin sandwich. Other entertainment includes an arcade, as well as 21 flat-screen TVs, a dance floor, and six dartboards inside the Alley Sports Bar, a 3,000-square-foot space filled with the tunes of live bands on Saturdays and karaoke crooners on Thursdays and Fridays.
In 1952, Earl Myers and his son, Ed, built The Kitchen Table to create an eatery that combined hometown cooking with a friendly atmosphere. Now run by Rod Myers—Earl's grandson—and his wife, Mimi, the restaurant transports visitors back to the '50s with its original stools and countertop, which serves as a canvas for plates of classic diner fare and self-portraits painted in ketchup. Inside the kitchen, chefs simmer homemade soups, flip custom omelets, and transform ingredients into southern favorites such as country fried steak. They also serve smaller portions from a kids’ menu that, unlike the ability to see clowns, has no age limit.

Troubleshooting Installation Issues¶
The vast majority of the time, installations of pfSense® software finish with no problems. The following sections describe the most common problems and the steps to resolve them.
Boot from Install Media Fails¶
Due to the wide array of hardware combinations in use, it is not uncommon for a memstick or CD to boot incorrectly (or not at all). Given the unpredictable nature of commodity hardware support, using hardware from the Netgate Store is the only guaranteed path to success.
That said, the most common problems and solutions are:
- USB Memstick Support
Some BIOS implementations can be picky about USB memstick support. If booting from one stick fails, try a different one.
- USB 3 Ports
Certain combinations of USB sticks and ports, especially USB 3.0 ports, may not work correctly. Try a USB 2.0 memstick in a USB 2.0 port.
- BIOS Issues
Update to the most recent BIOS, and disable any unneeded peripherals such as Firewire, Floppy Drives, and Audio.
- Dirty Optical Drive
Clean the drive with a cleaning disc or a can of compressed air, or try another drive.
- Bad Optical Media
Burn another disc and/or burn the disc at a lower speed. Perhaps try another brand of media.
- SATA/IDE Cable Issues
Try a different cable between the DVD drive and the controller or motherboard
- Boot Loader Issues
There have been cases where specific versions of the CD boot loader from FreeBSD did not work on certain hardware. In these cases, see Alternate Installation Techniques to perform the target drive installation on a separate PC and then move it to the target hardware.
Boot from hard drive after installation fails¶
After the installation completes and the firewall restarts, there are conditions which may prevent the operating system from fully booting. The most common reasons are typically BIOS-related. For example, a BIOS implementation may not boot from a disk using GPT or ZFS, or may require UEFI.
Some of these may be worked around by choosing different options for the partition layout during the installation process. Upgrading the BIOS to the latest version available may also help.
Altering the SATA options in the BIOS has improved booting in some situations as well. If a SATA hard drive is being used, experiment with changing the SATA options in the BIOS for settings such as AHCI, Legacy, or IDE. AHCI is the best mode to use with current versions of pfSense software.
For additional troubleshooting techniques, see Troubleshooting Boot Issues.
the following suggestions will help resolve general hardware issues.
Booting from USB¶
If the boot stops with a
mountroot> prompt while booting off the installer
image, usually with USB CD/DVD drives, escape to the loader prompt from the boot
menu and run the following:
At which point the boot will continue normally.
If the firewall is running permanently from a medium that requires this delay, add the following line as a Loader Tunable:
Remove unnecessary hardware¶
If the firewall contains hardware that will not be used, remove or disable it. This normally isn’t an issue, but can cause problems and has the potential to reduce performance. If an unused piece of hardware is removable, take it out of the firewall or disable it in the BIOS.
Disable PNP OS in the BIOS¶
This is a common fix for older hardware. BIOS configuration screens may contain
a setting for PNP OS or Plug and Play OS, which should be set to
no . A few have a setting for OS, which should usually be set
Upgrade the BIOS¶
The second most common fix for hardware problems is upgrading the BIOS to the latest revision. People seem to have a hard time believing this one, but trust us, do it. BIOS updates commonly fix bugs in hardware. It isn’t uncommon to hit problems induced by hardware bugs on systems that have been stable running Windows for long periods of time. Either Windows doesn’t trigger the bug, or has a work around, as Netgate TAC has encountered this on multiple occasions. Things that BIOS updates can fix include: Failing to boot, time keeping problems, general instability, and other issues like hardware compatibility.
Reset BIOS settings to factory defaults¶
Recycled systems may have an atypical BIOS configuration. Most contain an option allowing factory default options to be loaded. Use this option to get a fresh start on the BIOS settings.
Other BIOS settings¶
If the BIOS allows power management configuration, try toggling that option. Look for anything else that seems relevant to whichever aspect of the installation is failing. If it gets to this point, the target hardware is probably a lost cause and alternate hardware may be necessary. Also check to see if the BIOS has an event log that may list hardware errors such as memory test failures.
If the hardware uses a new or recent chipset, a development version of pfSense software may work. Check the Snapshots page to see if there is a development (e.g. Beta or release candidate) build to try.
Other Hardware Issues¶
The target hardware may be faulty, which testing with diagnostic software may reveal. Test the hard drive with diagnostic software from the OEM, and test the memory with a program such as memtest86+. These and more tools are available on the “Ultimate Boot CD”, which is preloaded with many free hardware diagnostic tools.
Also ensure that all of the fans are spinning at speed, and that no components are overheating. If this is older reused hardware, compressed/canned air cleaning of the fans and heat sinks can work wonders.

Kim Kardashian Fan Blog!
Well it’s nearly summer and you know what that means – super sexy Kardashians wearing bikinis! Kim Kardashian has already donned her bikini and is enjoying flaunting her bikini body for members of the press.
Kim was recently seen in Mexico where she was celebrating Kourtney Kardashian’s 33rd birthday. The Kardashians headed to the beach with Kim wearing a super hot orange bikini. Kim kept Kourtney’s son Mason company on the beach while the heavily pregnant Kourtney relaxed.
Kim even tried a bit of boogey boarding and she was actually pretty good at it. There was no sign of Kanye West though, presumably he decided to stay in the comfort of New York.
Well Kim Kardashian has certainly moved on from her 72 day marriage with Kris Humphries as can be seen by her frequently hanging out with new boyfriend Kanye West. Kris Humphries on the other hand, is having a little more trouble getting over the failed marriage!
According to Kim Kardashian’s lawyer, divorce proceedings have slowed down due to an unwillingness to move forward on Kris Humphries part. The lawyer told the judge in the matter: “I feel that (Humphries’) personal feelings and maybe some media drive is keeping this case alive. Certainly, they’ve been separated longer than they’ve been married.”
A source close to Kardashian says that Humphries is slowing proceedings for publicity purposes. “She would grant a divorce in a second,” the source divulges a gossip magazine, “But he won’t sign the papers. He won’t let go.”
Humphries’ attorneys claim they are still getting information for the proceedings, but Kim just wants out!
Kim Kardashian’s partner in the infamous Kim Kardashian sex tape, Ray J has been in the nude with another Hollywood hotty in recent weeks – Australian actress Sophie Monk. Monk and Ray J shot some photos for an advertising campaign for a shaving oil and did a very raunchy scenario featuring a nude Sophie and Ray J in a bath.
The shaving serum is called “Prince Reigns” and it the advertising campaign is set to hit the magazines shortly. Apparently Ray J netted a cool $1 million for the photo shoot, which made it as nearly good an earner as the Sex Tape was for him!
Ray J does have a thing for famous women as he was reportedly seeing singer Whitney Houston before she passed away.
It’s unusual to see Sophie Monk in the nude given that she recently turned down $1 million from Playboy magazine to appear naked in it’s pages. She was apparently concerned about ramifications on her acting career. The nude photos with Ray J may have a negative effect too Sophie!
Kim Kardashian has been spending a huge amount of time with new boyfriend Kanye West in recent weeks, so much that they appeared joined at the hip!
Well Kim has finally decided to spend some time away from him, and did so to promote the upcoming new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The entire family was in New York for a promotional event for the show.
Kris Jenner as well as Bruce Jenner were in attendance, with Kris wearing a simple and stylish black dress. Lamar Odom also made an appearance, accompanying a very happy looking Khloe Kardashian.
Kourtney Kardashian is looking huger than ever as she becomes increasingly pregnant, but she had that glow about her that pregnant women get, looking very beautiful.
As for Kim, the sex tape star wore a simple black and white lampshade style dress, paired with black strappy sandals. The Kardashian clan happily took photos with fans at the event and chatted about the upcoming new season with the press. It will be fun!!
In recent weeks a number of new Kim Kardashian nude photos have gone viral on the Internet. Of course Kim Kardashian said that the woman in the raunchy photos was not her.
Well it turns out that Kim wasn’t lying! The woman in the photo is actually model Katherine Porter, and she looks a lot like Kim Kardashian.
Egotastic confirmed that it was in fact Porter and not Kardashian in the naked photos. However with Kim dating Kanye West it’s probably only a matter of time before a new Kim Kardashian Sex Tape or raunchy photos make it into the public!

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., which operates facilities in East Chicago and Burns Harbor, confirmed Saturday that it had reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers on a new four-year labor contract.
The agreement, if ratified by the USW, would start September 1 and cover 12,000 employees at 13 locations. Union officials said the tentative agreement improves current wages, bolsters existing health insurance provisions for workers and retirees without increasing costs and includes a commitment for Cliffs to invest $4 billion in USW-represented facilities over the term of the contract.
In a release, Lourenco Goncalves, Chairman, President and CEO of Cleveland-Cliffs, said, “Our employees are the heart and soul of Cleveland-Cliffs. The USW is a partner and an ally, and we look forward to sharing in our future success together. This agreement allows us to do just that, while keeping our cost structure highly competitive.”
USW International Vice President (Administration) David McCall, who chairs negotiations with Cliffs, credited union members for working throughout the pandemic and standing together in solidarity for the fair contract that essential Steelworkers have earned and deserve.
“Our tentative agreement with Cliffs management recognizes the vital role Steelworkers have played in the company’s success,” McCall said in a press release. “The proposed contract provides important economic and contract language improvements that will improve working conditions along with the standard of living for USW members and their families.”


Real-Time Measurement of the Volatile Fraction of Diesel Particulate Matter Using Laser-Induced Desorption with Elastic Light Scattering (LIDELS) 2002-01-1685
A new diagnostic technique is described that has the capability of making real-time, in situ measurements of the volatile fraction of diesel particulate matter (PM). LIDELS uses two laser pulses of comparable energy, separated in time by an interval sufficiently short to freeze the flow field, to measure the change in PM volume caused by laser-induced desorption of the volatile fraction. The first laser pulse produces elastic light scattering (ELS) that gives the volume of the total PM, and also deposits the energy to desorb the volatiles. ELS from the second pulse gives the volume of the remaining solid portion of the PM, and the ratio of these two measurements is the quantitative solid volume fraction. Calibration is required for the individual total PM and solid fraction to be quantitative. Applicability of the technique is demonstrated for load and EGR sweeps for a turbocharged, direct-injection diesel engine.

|Name:||Optronic countermeasure system|
AAl's patented Projectile Detection and Cueing™ (PDCue™) is a passive acoustic technology-based, firefinder system.
Sensing the distinctive pressure-time signature associated with Shockwaves, the system determines supersonic projectile velocity, miss-distance, local trajectory and type.
Approximate range to the firing weapon is also determined, providing a definitive 'cue' as to the location of the firing position. Information is provided via a display that depends on the platform application.
The device can be used both on stationary and moving platforms with applications including: individual soldiers; vehicles (tracked and wheeled); fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft; waterborne and air cushion vessels and stand-alone units. AAI PDCue™ technology is patented both in the USA and abroad.
It should be noted that this system only advises the crew where the projectile is coming from, it does not provide any countermeasures.
It can be integrated with the firing platforms fire-control system to input the back azimuth and elevation of the incoming projectile, thereby allowing the fire-control system to automatically slew the weapon into a position to return fire in a significantly reduced amount of time.
Once aimed in the general direction, plus/minus five degrees, of the origin of fire, the crew takes over control using visual or infra-red target acquisition, aiming and firing.
Under contract to the US Army Research Laboratory, AAI will be delivering 10 of these systems installed on HMMWV (4 x 4) in 1999. Development of the system was completed in the second half of 1999.

Next Storm: African Tropical Wave?
By Quincy Vagell on September 6, 2012, 10:40am
Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse more stories.
The next tropical system in the Atlantic may be just starting to form over Africa.
An area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, has been showing up on the latest analysis charts. Also, the computer models have been showing strong signs that this system will better develop as it moves west, very possibly becoming our next Tropical Storm.
The GFS and ECMWF are in general agreement with this happening.
An already active tropical season is reaching its climatological peak as we move into the second week of September. We already had the "M" storm form with Michael and if this storm becomes a named season, it could be called "Nadine."
Read on for a few more details, including forecast data for this tropical wave.

Anthony Johnson released from UFC by John Morgan on Jan 15, 2012 at 2:30 am ET
RIO DE JANEIRO – Anthony Johnson's third weighcutting mistake will be his last in the UFC, at least for now. Following Saturday night's UFC 142 event at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, UFC president Dana White terminated Johnson's contract.
"This is his third time," White said of Johnson's failure to make weight for the third time in his octagon career. "Three strikes and you're gone." Johnson (10-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC), of course, missed weight for his co-feature fight with Vitor Belfort (21-9 MMA, 10-5 UFC). The UFC president said Johnson came within a pound-and-a-half of the 186-pound limit allowed for non-title middleweight fights but was forced by a doctor to rehydrate because the former welterweight contender "couldn't make it."
"That was one of the most unprofessional things I've ever seen," White said. "The guy was at 170 pounds. He moved up to 185 pounds so this wouldn't happen anymore, and this is the worst weightcutting disaster he's ever had. He almost ruined the co-main event here in Brazil. I don't know what else to say about that one. I'm not happy about it." On Friday, White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Johnson's job would be on the line, regardless of the result of his fight. While his words made it seem as if Johnson could potentially keep his spot in the promotion, the UFC boss said his decision was already made.
"I knew what the decision was when I talked to you on Friday," White told MMAjunkie.com. "This is his third time. Listen, the guy was having problems making 170 pounds. He wanted to stay at 170 or whatever his deal was. You go to 185, and you blow it as bad as he blew it? That's bad, man."

Alcohol Reference, Fantasy Violence, Mild Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes
- Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB (PlayStation 4)
This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hero who must rebuild the world using the power of creation. Players traverse environments, gather and combine raw materials, build structures, and engage in combat against attacking monsters (e.g., skeletons, golems, dragons). Players use swords, hammers, and bombs to defeat enemies; most attacks cause enemies to burst/fall apart on the battlefield before disappearing. One enemy creature (“bloody hand”) is depicted as a hand covered in red slime. The game also contains some suggestive text/dialogue (e.g., “Scandalous Swimsuit: Racy red swimwear for those who like to show some skin” and “When night falls, do the two of you retire to the same room to spend some special time together.”). During the course of the game, players can acquire or craft a “beer barrel” item. The words "damn" and "hell" appear in text/dialogue.

Abstract Share this page
Abstract To evaluate the hypothesis that increasing the potential for glycolytic metabolism would benefit the functioning of infarcted myocardium, we investigated whether mild exercise training would increase the activities of oxidative enzymes, expression of carbohydrate-related transport proteins (monocarboxylate transporter MCT1 and glucose transporter GLUT4), and myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. Myocardial infarction (MI) was produced by occluding the proximal left coronary artery in rat hearts for 30 min. After the rats performed 6 wk of run training on a treadmill, the wall of the left ventricle was dissected and divided into the anterior wall (AW; infarcted region) and posterior wall (PW; noninfarcted region). MI impaired citrate synthase and 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities in the AW (P < 0.01) but not in the noninfarcted PW. No differences in the expression of MCT1 were found in either tissues of AW and PW after MI, whereas exercise training significantly increased the MCT1 expression in all conditions, except AW in the MI rats. Exercise training resulted in an increased expression of GLUT4 protein in the AW in the sham rats and in the PW in the MI rats. The relative amount of MHC-beta was significantly increased in the AW and PW in MI rats compared with sham rats. However, exercise training resulted in a significant increase of MHC-alpha expression in both AW and PW in both sham and MI rats (P < 0.01). These findings suggest that mild exercise training enhanced the potential for glycolytic metabolism and ATPase activity of the myocardium, even in the MI rats, ensuring a beneficial role in the remodeling of the heart.

It has begun. i pulled the m30 out of my 91 535i two days ago and i just finished pulling the m20 out of my 1986 325 tonight. I'm waiting for the e30.de mounts in the mail as well as the e28 radiator and some other odds and ends. i should have the motor cleaned up and put in by the end of next week. i have a few questions for those of you who have done this. the mechanical fit doesn't seem too hard to me but the electrical has me somewhat perplexed. in terms of the plugs that are supposed to plug together from the existing e30 m20 plug to the m30 plug which side comes from which section. is it the male from the m30 and female from the e30 chassis or is it the female from the m30 and the male from the e30 chassis.
here are some pics of what i mean if you guys could check out what your setup is i would appreciate it.
which one of these plugs out of the 91 535i chassis (m30) do i need (if any)
this is the plug on the e30 chassis right now... it comes out of the fuse box and it is a female connection.
The problem is that i have the harness that hooks up to the m30 ecu that i am pulling through the firewall but there are only female harnesses coming from the m30 motor so they won't hook up to the current e30 mounts.
any help is greatly appreciated

Aim: The reliability evaluation of the Italian version of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 Patient Questionnaire (SRS-22-I), administered to adolescents with mild vertebral deformities, is evaluated.
Study design: forward-backward translation, pretest, final version according to a focus-group evaluation, and 1 week test/retest.
Population: pretest: 35 subjects (22 females), age range 8.5-19 years, 28 idiopathic scoliosis (17 degrees +/-7 degrees ), 7 hyperkyphosis (54 degrees +/-4 degrees ); test/retest: 20 subjects (11 females), age range 12-17.5 years, 15 idiopathic scoliosis (16 degrees +/-8 degrees ), 5 hyperkyphosis (55 degrees +/-5 degrees ).
Statistical analysis: Spearman rank test, percent of agreement. Statistical significance: 0.05. Software: Statgraphics 3.0. We calculated the results of the questionnaire and performed the statistical analysis using non parametric test because of the charcteristics of the data: this differ from previously published
Results: Response rate was 100%. Total score: median 4 (range 3-5); results for different domains (median, range): function/activity 4 (3-5), pain 5 (3-5), self image/ appearance 3 (2-5), mental health 4 (3-5), satisfaction with management 4 (2-5). Time required to answer the questionnaire ranged from 5 to 20'; for 12 to 17.5 years old subjects from 5 to 10'. pretest showed difficulties with questions on pain; the questionnaire was changed accordingly. Spearman's rho ranged from 0.42 to 1, not significantly different from null value for questions 12 and 21. Percent of agreement (evaluated only for question 11a) was 100%. The ceiling and floor effects have been found high.
Conclusions: The SRS-22-I was found to be reliable for young patients with mild vertebral deformities of different type. Lack of reliability for questions 12 and 21 should be better understood. Until now the psychometric properties of SRS-22 questionnaire have been evaluated only in USA populations, and in idiopathic scoliosis. Moreover, only one study has been proposed including patients with mild idiopathic scoliosis. This, together with the non-parametric statistical analysis used, could explain the high ceiling and floor effects we found in our data.

BILBAO TRANSFORMATIONAL NARRATIVES
At the end of the 1970s, the city of Bilbao and the entire Basque Country was emerging from forty years of dictatorship in which any expression of local culture had been repressed. The area was experiencing an industrial collapse that generated high unemployment and an international image directly associated with terrorist violence. Despite these circumstances, Bilbao and the Basque society managed to transform its economy and industrial base. It now leads international rankings in advanced manufacturing, education and healthcare, and has also generated a balanced distribution of wealth.
The Basque case presents a unique case of systemic transformation under extreme circumstances. This experience involves the “Bilbao Guggenheim Effect” , the Mondragon Cooperative and social economy ecosystem, Michael Porter ́s cluster strategy, the local advanced manufacturing and technology alliances , a basic income policy, the recovery of the Basque language , and the highest concentration of Michelin Guide awarded restaurants per square meter, among many other interconnected initiatives. While the tax system is similar to the European average, the Basque Country has enjoyed high income equality rates for decades. This data allows us to think that it is possible to complement the necessary distribution of wealth through taxes with the generation of wealth in a distributed manner. A more egalitarian salary policy and strong solidarity mechanisms help to provide real and large scale “pre-distribution” of wealth.
Compared to similar post-industrial situations, the key factor of this transformation seems to be associated with the cultural dimension of a long- term strategy, rather than with the more visible hardware that can be identified in the above mentioned initiatives. The software, or cultural component of the innovation process, can be therefore interpreted as the set of values and beliefs shared by a particular community, city or territory and the way they are expressed in collective narratives and behaviors, ultimately conditioning strategic decisions and their implementation. A systemic approach to the great challenges that urban settings aim to tackle requires a strong connection between both, operating in a similar way to social movements instead of continuing to apply the traditional top-down project management approach.
This story also suggests that those cities and territories who have been able to associate themselves with transformative values like equality, solidarity, self- responsibility, radical democracy, and resilience can become socially sustainable and more competitive.
Urban communities and 21st century citizens are demanding practical solutions to their growing, complex needs but if given the opportunity, joining a “city transformation movement” allows them to be part of a much more ambitious and mindful enterprise. These new transformational movements can only be co- created by generating a new narrative of transformation capable of connecting the identity of the territory with a “collective decision” to build a socially sustainable city that its residents are proud to be associated with, and proud to be living in.
Systemic change only comes about when the entire community feels empowered to act in a different manner. These narratives of collective change can be found in the Basque case, but also in other places that have undergone very positive urban transformations like Medellin, Montreal, or Seoul. Instead of looking for rare ‘talent’ in exceptional individuals, the most advanced forms of urban transformation set out to empower an entire community so that everyone can act in an innovative way.

We boarded the train at the Roma Termini towards Napoli early one Monday. I picked up a recently outdated Italian newspaper on the seat next to me. Although I could barely read it, there was no mistaking a picture of the Vancouver Stanley Cup riots from a few days before on the front page. Nice to see my beautiful part of the world on fire on the front page of Il Manifesto. Sort of. We chatted a fellow across the aisle in broken Italian, and he replied in broken English. He asked where we were from, I showed him the front page of Il Manifesto.
In Naples, we found our connection to Pompei easily enough. This train was a public transit train. Shabbier, no A/C. Thirty minutes later we were at Pompei’s doorstep. From here, we took an open air bus to Mount Vesuvius. With their intertwined histories, you can’t see one without the other. A tourist bus drives us up a narrow road, negotiating countless tight switchbacks along the way. The sort of switchbacks where the driver needs to blow the horn at every blind turn to warn oncoming traffic. Everyone gets off at the terminus. There’s a lot of activity here due to all the buses and private vehicles that make their way up here. Cheap souvenirs, postcards, ice cream, snacks. Fill your boots, you’re about to go on a hell of a hike. The road only goes halfway up Vesuvius. The rest is up to you, and it’s a long way to the top. There’s a well maintained but steep trail that leads to the crater. Trouble is, with our huge backpacks, there was no way we were both going to make it to the top and back. There’s a time limit, your ride back to Pompei leaves in ninety minutes, with or without you, as the song says.
Narrow road leading up Vesuvius. Killer switchback ahead!
There are several odd statues along the road up the volcano.
So Dianne found a park bench while I raced to the top (I forget if we tossed a coin for this or not, but in hindsight, she might have won the toss). Saying I raced to the top is lying. It’s a steep climb. In this heat, all you can do is pace yourself. The views of Pompei below, with Naples and the Mediterranean sea in the hazy distance, are wonderful (Caesar, I can see your house from here!). Forty minutes later I was peering into the crater. I couldn’t believe how many people had trekked up here in flip-flops. Like they’re out for a casual stroll. Meanwhile, in my comfortable shoe’s blisters were popping with every step.
If you want to peer inside the crater, it’s all uphill.
Plumes of smoke coming from the heart of the crater remind you that this volcano will one day devastate again. I hope today’s not the day.
In 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompei below in ash, along with the neighboring town of Herculaneum, killing thousands. The towns were actually all but forgotten until an architect named Fontana (Fontana the Architect, they called him) discovered them in 1599 while architecting (!) a canal. It took another 150 years to organize any serious excavations. Work continues today.
Napoli and the Med in the haze.
After a quick drink of overpriced bottled water – there’s a cafe at the top of Vesuvius and they know you are thirsty if you made it here – I quickly hiked back down to rejoin Dianne who had been patiently waiting with my pack for the last hour or so. With but a second to spare, we’re back on the bus to Pompei. I marveled at how Dianne looked remarkably fresh sitting next to sweaty, dusty me. We were dropped off where we started at Pompei’s front gates. Our day was about to start going downhill (pun intended). You know when a bad experience becomes a highlight when you look back? That kind of bad.

ok heres a little tip no offence or anything but if any US Marine where to see that they would feel highly disgraced, heres some reference on how to draw a Marine [link] This is the current gear the USMC issues all its grunts. if you want to be accurate then draw them like that. i could not even tell that those where Marines until i saw United States Marine Corps, thats why i was wondering the M1 was the Marines, and the ones hiding behind the bush where insurgents.
what the USMC wears is PASGT helmets or LWH which is the basically the PASGT, typically with NVG mounts, cat eyes band, or goggles
MARPAT digital woodland or digital desert cammies
Interceptor plate carriers (OTV's) coyote tan
Blackhawk coyote tan boots
all this stuff is not hard to draw trust me if you want i could post a pic right now for you, if you put time into it, it honestly feels rewarding. draw Marines right and not in a custom way and you may get a few Ooh-rah's or Semper-Fi's in there. and if your into the whole furries thing i honestly dont care ive got one of my own that i dont post at all -_-
i guess the reason im going all out in this is because im a massive USMC lover, i will die for the Corps no matter what. when i enlist it will be the most rewarding moment ever aside form passing boot camp
what i hate the most is these video games developers putting the USMC into their games and basically going "what if" the whole time, showing what it is like to be the life of a Marine and making it as realistic as possible, when they dont even realize even close to what its like.. then 8 yr old kids get on the internet pretending they are some badass spec ops member or something.
you are talented keep it up! srry for the really long message
LOL thanks, the first title of this drawing is "United States Moe Corps" (Moe in japanese anime cartoons mean, cute , kitty or something else that have the same meaning to that)...but i va changed the title so, maybe you hate this if you re a real USMC holic...so thanks XD

The members of the international team determining the exact size and contents of Syria’s deadly chemical arsenal – and then overseeing its destruction – must, while they try to work, wear both bulky hazmat suits, to protect them from the materials they’re destroying, and full sets of body armor, to protect them from the civil war raging around them.
But while the bulky protective gear makes the job of cataloging and destroying Syria’s chemical weapons stores more difficult, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons expressed optimism Wednesday that its inspectors will be able to fulfill their mission within ambitious deadlines that foresee Syria’s ability to use chemical weapons largely eliminated in slightly less than three weeks.
After a week and a half in country, inspectors have seen only two of the more than 20 sites Syria has admitted. U.S. officials familiar with the Syrian program have estimated there are actually as many as 45 sites attached to the chemical weapons program.
And, with inspectors wrapped in two layers of protective gear, each site will be studied at a slower pace.
Ralf Trapp, one of the original members of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and a former secretary of the group’s scientific advisory board, noted that even such an apparently routine detail can increase the difficulty of an already difficult task.
“Full protective gear means you’re wearing a gas mask, which reduces visibility and the ability to communicate, beyond which, it can get quite hot in the suit,” he said. “Body armor adds weight and further slows you down, and makes it even hotter to work. This means people are slower, and shifts can’t last as long, so you need more people to complete the same task. It’s an issue.”
Regardless, the initial reports out of Syria indicate progress and even appear to convey a bit of optimism.
OPCW Director-General Ahmet Uzumcu said the inspection team had visited a first Syrian chemical weapons site on Sunday and Monday and was at another site on Wednesday.
He called it “the beginning of a difficult process.”
The mission is supposed to eliminate all traces of Syria’s chemical warfare ability by the middle of next summer. Of greater urgency, the teams now in Syria intend to destroy the machinery used to mix the chemicals and fill warheads by Nov. 1.
“Some equipment has already been destroyed,” Uzumcu said.
Jean Pascal Zanders, an expert on chemical weapons policy who runs The Trench, a website dedicated to chemical weapons issues, said that was good news.
“Once the machinery used to mix and fill is destroyed, the chemicals can’t be mixed to become deadly weapons, and can’t be filled into warheads to be used as weapons,” he said. “Once the empty warheads are destroyed, they cannot be used. Once the production is destroyed, supplies cannot be replenished. It is very simple, of course, but it’s very important. When they finish this work, before the total destruction of the Syrian program, the region is already much, much safer.”
Uzumcu said the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has dispatched a dozen inspectors to join the 16 inspectors who remain in Syria. A 12-member team from the United Nations also remains in Syria.
“Safety and security is an overriding concern,” Uzumcu said.
In an email commenting on Uzumcu’s concerns, Trapp said that various steps could help ease the security concerns, including consolidating weapons and chemicals “to reduce the number of locations to secure and monitor and to increase the effectiveness of certain destruction operations.” He also said the inspectors could turn to “improvised methods” to quickly render some of the chemical agents harmless, such as mixing mustard gas with bleach.
Uzumcu’s political adviser, Malik Ellahi, said that security, in the end, is the responsibility of the Syrian government, and the inspectors would have to rely on that. Even so, while still early, he said there is progress at the first two sites, including the destruction of unfilled munitions.
“The effort to make these sites inoperable is well underway,” he said.

PATONG, PHUKET: New footage has emerged showing Phuket’s infamous jet-ski man, Winai ‘JJ’ Naiman, in another dispute with marines – this time from the US Navy.
The footage ends with one US serviceman handing over 40,000 baht to the jet-ski boys.
The first episode in Hill’s ‘Big Trouble in Tourist Thailand’ series, broadcast on British TV last week, showed Mr Winai threatening a group of British Royal Navy marines with an air rifle in a similar dispute.
For our previous report click here.
In the latest incident, apparently filmed a few days after the British marines’ run-in with Mr Winai, the US servicemen do not deny causing the damage and appear highly apologetic throughout.
One marine, apparently responsible for ‘damage’ to a jet-ski, gives a bowing wai to Mr Winai, saying “Sir, sorry. I’ll pay you back, I promise.”

Art for Life
With the Art Form Gallery in Los Angeles, Patrick Tighe perfects the live-work model on a compact scale
Edie Cohen -- Interior Design, 8/1/2002 12:00:00 AM
Patrick Tighe is adroit with bold gestures. Formerly an associate at Morphosis, seminal advocates of the cutting edge, he founded his own Los Angeles firm two years ago. It was a subterranean San Fernando Valley house that garnered him AIA's national award and the attention of Michael Collins, who saw photographs of the project. Collins, who had just bought a property in West Hollywood and planned to combine a gallery and residence there, looked no further. Tighe Architecture was the first and last concern interviewed.
Collins cites real estate as his vocation but art as his avocation and passion. With no formal fine-art background, the native Angelino embarked on serious collecting 17 years ago, relying chiefly on personal interests sparked by his parents. His collector's eye grew increasingly refined through exposure to and immersion in the local art community. He concentrated on indigenous talents exploring work on paper and canvas as well as photography.
Three years ago, Collins conducted his own mixed-media experiment. To see if his sales acumen in real estate would translate into art, he mounted several shows of contemporary L.A. work in private venues and rented gallery spaces. The shows had proved successful by the time he heard about a house on West Hollywood's residential Dorrington Avenue—minutes away from the established galleries on Robertson Boulevard and Melrose Avenue. Collins immediately grabbed the property. His vision for Art Form Gallery was one step closer to realization.
Physical dimensions were the first factors in program development. The lot encompassed just 4,000 square feet, and the existing house's area and footprint, plus 50 percent of the walls, were to be retained per city codes. Technically, the project would be a renovation. In reality, however, results bear scant resemblance to the nondescript predecessor. But the dramatic solution was, Tighe comments, a "scale-appropriate response to neighboring buildings." The architect packed a wallop of a design punch into a mere 1,400 square feet.
The structure consists of three volumes. Along the street, the gallery component is defined by a storefront system of aluminum and laminated glass and by a tilted roof that creates a full-length clerestory to capitalize on natural light. The residential counterpart, with its butt-glazed corner, is a heavier, jutting form clad in flat-seam, interlocking zinc panels. Between gallery and residence, a recessed entry establishes modern, low-key gravitas via a 5-foot-wide stainless-steel pivot door with a hydraulic mechanism and magnetic locking device. "I took cues from the street. Robertson is commercial, while Dorrington is suburban," Tighe says.
Inside, a single deft stroke resolves organization and perception issues. A diagonal wall neatly bisects the interior, articulating the gallery on one side, living areas on the other. The orientation not only "maxes out the space," the architect explains, but also forces perspective to the backyard. Consequently, the gallery seems to extend beyond its 57-foot length, past the seamless glass end wall to a shimmering black surface: a reflecting pool formed from a custom steel trough on a frame of tubular steel.
"The aesthetic is gallerylike, not houselike," says Collins. Still, while the environment remains pristine, details elevate it from anonymity. The fireplace, conceived as an oversize presentation easel, has a canted front that reflects the slant of the ceiling. Instead of installing baseboards, Tighe marked the distinction between horizontal and vertical planes with a slight reveal, which also gives the walls a floating quality. A barely visible aluminum picture rail running through the interior offers display flexibility. A painted steel armature accommodates both spotlights and up-lights.
When it comes to furnishings, Tighe keeps company with the masters. His steel-and-glass coffee table and adaptation of the classic Mies daybed face two Barcelona chairs. Antonio Citterio's Melandra chairs ring a 14-foot-long custom maple table, with its asymmetrical profile and steel base treatments. Given the small size of the bedroom (12 by 17 feet) and den (12 feet square), built-ins were a foregone conclusion. Tighe took cues from the Case Study Houses for his maple cabinetry, banquette, and bed.
In the best Southern California style, living and work quarters extend beyond the house's boundaries. Bamboo surrounds the rear courtyard, where a redwood deck, steel-grate awning, and concrete pavers create a semi-enclosed room. And a separate garage structure—newly fitted with redwood plank siding, a steel and laminated-glass barn door, and a birch plywood desk—now serves as his office alfresco.

The terminated, tilted, folded dipole (T2FD) is a wide band HF antenna. It was tested by the US Navy after WWII, and is popular with SW listeners who desire wide coverage without having to resort to many individual antennas for each band.
The T2FD easily has a 6:1 frequency ratio. It is a form of loop antenna, and is typically fed with 75 ohm coax and a 12:1 balun.
Details on the T2FD can be found here: [ HCDX T2FD Page]
