In 2009, there were 56 separate food safety incidents recorded in the U.K. caused by contamination from foreign bodies, such as glass or metal shards, stones or bones, or fragments of plastics or rubber. This has since risen to 118 in 2013, with plastic, metal, and glass contamination in 19, 12, and 10 incidents respectively. Interestingly, of the 118 recorded incidents, 62 originated from the U.K., 35 from the European Union (EU), and 11 were imported. In the U.S., there were 10 recorded incidents of extraneous material contamination in 2013, with 331,732 pounds of food recalled. According to USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service, the number of incidents significantly increased from five in 2009, however the amount of food recalled reduced from over 1 million pounds. These, combined with a number of other high-profile food scares, have had consumers in both Europe and North America increasingly worried about the safety of the products at supermarkets.
For any brand involved in a safety incident, a product recall can be costly, especially when you factor in the time and effort spent initiating the recall, communicating it to customers and consumers, then working to rebuild their reputation in the eyes of both retailers and the general public. In addition, there are damages that have to be paid to customers left out of pocket, as well as the expense of lost and wasted product. It is no surprise then that manufacturers are keen to do all they can to avoid an incident.
To continually protect consumers against substandard products, food safety legislation and standards in both the U.S. and the EU have evolved. The International Featured Standards in France, Germany, and other European economies, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standards in the U.K., and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) in the U.S. are all more stringent than ever before to combat food safety hazards, safeguard consumer wellbeing, and reclaim public trust in the food supply chain. They are now becoming the blueprints for similar regulations in emerging markets, such as China, both to improve safety for local consumers and to facilitate exports to Europe and North America.
As a result of these stricter rules around the globe, food manufacturers have had to evolve their product inspection processes to ensure compliance with regulations and minimize the risk of a costly product recall. At the same time, increasing worldwide demand for food products and growing globalization of the market has meant that they have had to maintain high levels of quality control while boosting their manufacturing output and productivity.
Product inspection manufacturers have had to develop their technologies, such as X-ray inspection systems, innovating to meet these requirements from customers with ever greater sensitivity and features to balance product safety and productivity. Incorporating fully integrated automatic rejection systems, for example, into X-ray technology has enabled manufacturers to significantly increase throughput rates on their line without compromising contaminant detection. The development and inclusion of advanced data management systems in product inspection machines has also resulted in more accurate analysis and monitoring, enabling food manufacturers to not only demonstrate due diligence in the event of an incident, but to identify potential sources of contamination to minimize the risk of it happening again in the future.
Where We Stand Today
Even with the developments in legislation, food product recalls remain a significant issue for manufacturers today. The number of recalls in the U.K. and U.S., due to physical contamination has increased over the last few years. However, this is due in large part to increased awareness of food safety among consumers and retailers, as well as stricter regulations—including audits—raising the bar for food manufacturers.
The globalization of the food market has led to much longer supply chains, with raw ingredients sourced in one country, processed, and packaged in another, ready for selling in a third or even a fourth nation. This means that brand owners have to ensure that their products and their manufacturing processes comply with the regulations in place in each of the markets they are operating in. For example, if food is sourced in the U.S., processed in the U.K. and sold in France, then the manufacturer will have to meet the requirements of FSMA, the BRC Global Standards, and the IFS.
As a result, in order to comply with so many food safety standards, manufacturers have to ensure that their production lines meet more than just high hygiene standards. They also need to have in place precision product inspection processes to identify any and all instances of physical contamination on the line to minimize the risk of sub-standard packs reaching consumers. Product inspection equipment, such as advanced X-ray systems has been a real help here to manufacturers, enabling them to automate their quality control procedures to inspect all of their packs for foreign bodies. The use of high-performance X-ray technology can help manufacturers safeguard against physical contamination and reduce the risk of food safety recalls, protecting their brand reputation.
A New Generation of Technologies to Avoid Recall Threat
The new more stringent regulations in place worldwide are pressuring manufacturers to achieve ever higher standards of food safety. The industry is now turning to equipment suppliers to provide them with technologies that uphold the highest levels of product quality, while maintaining optimum line speed and efficiency.
Installing product inspection technologies on production lines in accordance with the principles of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is a key first step in minimizing the risk of contamination. Under this protocol, rather than just inspecting products at the end of the manufacturing process, advanced inspection systems must be installed at every location on the line identified as vulnerable to contamination, known as Critical Control Points, or CCPs. Doing this can ensure that even minuscule foreign bodies are identified as early as possible, maximizing detection rates and preventing contaminants from fragmenting during processing to affect a greater number of products.
However, to keep up with burgeoning competition on the international stage, food manufacturers need to strike the right balance between product safety and line productivity, which increasingly means boosting line speeds. High throughput rates through the product inspection process can be easily achieved though by installing advanced X-ray inspection machines capable of precision contaminant detection at high speeds, as well as by automating the rejection process. Fully-integrated automatic rejection systems can ensure that all non-conforming packs can be removed without the need to stop or slow the production line, maximizing production uptime while keeping the risk of a contamination incident to a minimum.
While the inclusion of inspection systems that follow HACCP principles has helped to significantly decrease the likelihood of contamination reaching consumers, it is imperative that manufacturers are prepared for a potential food safety incident involving their product. If a recall were to occur, they need to be able to manage both the recovery of non-conforming packs from retailers and consumers, as well as any investigation by the authorities, providing proof of their due diligence.
In such an event, being fully informed about the performance of the production line and the product inspection systems is vital to maintain continuous operation and to mitigate the negative impact on brand reputation. Modern X-ray systems feature data management systems fully incorporated into the machine, capable of recording and storing data about both conforming and non-conforming products on the line. This information can allow manufacturers to demonstrate that they have taken every feasible measure to prevent contamination to investigators, and to enable them to trace the source of safety issues. Advanced systems can also be connected to a larger network, enabling manufacturers to access data from multiple inspection machines, and at the same time, further facilitating their analysis of contamination trends. All of this can help manufacturers to keep up to speed with how their production processes are operating and help to demonstrate due diligence, should the worst happen.
Evolving with the Food Safety Landscape
The international food market has undergone an immense transformation since 2009, with increased globalization of the supply chain and the introduction of a raft of rigorous safety regulations worldwide. To continue to comply with legislation and retain access to lucrative overseas markets while remaining competitive on the world stage, food manufacturers need to ensure that they have the most up-to-date product inspection systems installed on their lines to optimize contaminant detection without compromising on productivity.
Product inspection system specialists are constantly developing their technologies to stay ahead of changes in the food safety landscape and to meet customer requirements. Working with such specialists, food manufacturers can ensure that their product inspection processes are capable of evolving with the food market, maximizing safety, and helping them to avoid a costly recall.

Besides familiarizing yourself with the particular model that you own, there are other things that you are able to learn as well. Continue reading so that you save yourself both time and money.
Don't take an emergency car kit inside your car. You can make your own; include things that you will have to have to put on a spare, battery charger and a gas can.
Ask many questions about your vehicle. Preventing automotive issues with your vehicle is an excellent way to save money.
Make sure you do not neglect the radiator. Run your car, and then turn it off and pop your hood. You never want to open the radiator of a car that is running. Check radiator fluid by using a dipstick and remember to dilute coolant with water before putting it in the radiator.
You don't always need a mechanic when you have trouble with your car each time you're experiencing trouble. There are many things that could be fixed very easily. If the job is a simple one, you will save money by attempting the repairs yourself.
Ask the technician at the repair shop you are considering if they have done work on the same make and model of car before contracting with them. If they have before, there is a better chance they can help resolve any issues you have.
Be aware of auto technicians who makes unneeded repairs on your vehicle. A reputable mechanic will let you know when they see something else wrong with your full approval. Never give your car to someone who preforms unnecessary repairs.
A spare tire and a jack are essential items to keep in your vehicle all of the time. A lot of newer vehicles are already equipped with them. You don't need to be stuck out in the road and need to pay a tow. It's cheaper and easier to do on your own.
Assemble a DIY auto repair kit and put it inside of your trunk. Your car came with equipment needed for changing a tire and other necessary items. A lug wrench and a jack are key. You should probably get a Phillips and flat head screwdriver and several types of wrenches.
Try finding a reliable mechanic who fixes cars on their own garage. If they have auto repair experience they can provide quality work, they can typically do jobs for far less cost. You can save tons of money by providing them with business.
Speak with friends about where they get their auto shop recommendations before you pick a shop. Your family and friends may have some good recommendations for you that will make your search much easier. You should still do your research on the person they tell you about. Check online to see if there is other information or reviews at the very least.
Ask about labor rates or prices before hiring a shop. Some repair shops have details about their rates posted on the walls, so make sure you know exactly what they are. You need to know how and why you are being billed for your car repairs. Some mechanics bill you for estimated repair times established by specific manufacturers. Some minor repairs can take all day job.
Some shops may replace your tires with even older ones. This lets them to make a profit and take advantage of you. Mark your tires with some chalks before you drop your car off.If the marks are gone when you get your vehicle back, question the shop about what happened.
Always bleed the brakes if you have been working on them. Test for any leaks to ensure you don't have fluid can run out. You are then ready to test drive the car safely on low-traffic roads. Drive slowly at first so that you accelerate.
Original Equipment Manufacturer is often referred to using the acronym OEM.Remember this when you need to have parts on your car.You sound better educated on auto repair by telling your mechanic to install OEM parts. This will make someone less likely to receive used parts on your vehicle.
It may be a recall you didn't know about. The manufacturer may even fix the problem at no cost to you.
Consistency is key when it comes to auto repair world. Stick to a trusted mechanic whom you have used before instead of going to multiple places for work. Different mechanics may have different issues with your car. They could also charge you to pay more for repairs.
AAA is an excellent ally to have on your side when you've got auto repair. You are going to find discounts on an annual AAA membership if you shop around.
Set an expense limit that you are willing to let the mechanic reach without specific authorization. Don't let the shop to make any repairs as they want after your drop off your car. Set a specific amount that they can't go over without contacting you first.
Always listen to the sounds coming from your vehicle is making. Noise can indicate a problem.
Ask your mechanic to give you the old parts when they're replaced. This is one way to ensure that the part was actually replaced and that it needed replacing. This isn't particularly necessary for exhaust system changed.It is not hard to see if a brand new system is put in place.
As previously stated, learning about basic auto repair may benefit you later. You can teach other people how to do repairs and rely on your own expertise. Keep in mind the advice from this article in order to perform minor repairs on your own.

Star Wars and Birth
It's finally here! After a long 10 years after the last movie, the latest movie in the series has been released. Sitting here watching the previous movies in order of story line with my children, we are preparing for our time to see the latest movie. Considering the first movie ever made came out when I was a 1 year old, it has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. The waiting is exciting, and nerve wracking as we hope nobody spoils the movie for us. We hope the movie holds up to the hype, and it is just as amazing as the previous movies.
But what if it isn't? What if we see it, and are disappointed? What if we build the event up so high in our mind that no movie could ever live up to it? We run that risk when we anticipate such an event. What would we do it that happens? What does this all have to do with your birth?
Just like a long awaited movie, the arrival of a baby is filled with anticipation, excitement, and nerves. We build up the big day in our minds, and picture what will happen and exactly how it will be at that moment when we meet our new baby. But what if it isn't how we pictured? What if the birth doesn't go as planned? What if the process isn't as smooth as we imagined? What if the baby isn't exactly how we pictured? What then?
Even if things don't go as planned you can still have an amazing experience. Try to go into your birth without any pre-conceived ideas of how things will go, or how your baby will look/act. We all get that perfect picture in our heads, which can lead to disappointment if things don't go perfectly. When we place the process so highly in our minds that it can direct our feelings about our birth, we may never be truly satisfied. If you plan for a natural birth and end up with an induction, or hope for a home birth and have a c-section, it may be truly disappointing and lead to bad feelings about your birth. In the same way, if we do get the natural birth or home birth that is planned, we may still come away feeling the event was less than perfect if we built it up so high in our minds. Accept that whatever will happen is how your birth will go. We can not always control exactly how the process will occur, and if we try to picture it and plan it out, we risk letting ourselves down. Bring an open mind to your experience. That is the best thing you can pack to prepare for your birth.
I will take my open mind to the movie when our family does finally see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Hopefully, we will not be let down, but also pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.
Holiday Induced Inductions- Why?
Thanksgiving is behind us and Christmas is right around the corner. Everywhere I look, anticipation of the upcoming holidays is around us. In every child's eyes you will see impatience and awe as they await the day when they will finally get to open up the packages under the tree and see what they have received. Every year it is the same thing, we must wait until the right time to see what magical item we have received.
Unfortunately, this time of year does not always allow for patience for babies to come at the right time.
Due to care-givers not wanting to miss out on their own family celebrations, families wanting the new little one home for the holiday, or simply because of the additional tax break involved with delivering prior to Jan. 1st, more and more babies are being induced for non-medical reasons (See info here). Bringing baby home a few days to a couple weeks early may not seem like a big deal, however according to the March of Dimes, inducing for non-medical reasons has led to a large uptick of late-preterm births which can cause more medical concerns for the baby. In addition, induction of labor can make a much more difficult labor for the mother and for the baby (see here).
If you are considering an induction, or your care-provider is bringing the topic up, make sure you know all your options. Ask lots of questions including:
Is this induction medically necessary?
What are the risks to me and my baby during the induction? (there are always risks)
What are the risks to me and my baby if we choose to not be induced yet?
What are the alternatives to being induced?
What medications/methods will be implemented to induce me, and what are the risks?
What alternatives methods are there, and what are the risks with each one?
By asking questions you will be more prepared for your induction if it is truly medically necessary, or you will be more informed to be able to comfortably decline an unnecessary induction. Also, do some research on what your care provider is telling you as the medical reason for induction. Find out about your Bishop Score here, adequate amniotic fluid levels here, baby size estimations here, and safety of late-preterm delivery of babies here.
Just as we must constantly remind children that they need to wait until Christmas day to open their presents, the best thing we can do for our babies and for mothers, is to wait until baby is ready to be born. The waiting can sometimes be frustrating, but the end result of having a healthy mother and baby is well worth the small wait.

President Andry Rajoelina wants Madagascar to "look to the future" and says the team can "come back stronger in the next competitions", after the Barea's fairy-tale run was halted at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The president, who was in the crowd at the Cairo stadium, saw his country lose 3-0 to Tunisia in the quarter finals.
This was Madagascar's first Afcon finals and before the competition the team was ranked 108th in the world by Fifa.
One of the tournament highlights so far was Madagascar's 2-0 defeat of Nigeria.
"Congratulations to the Barea for this exceptional run. Even if the defeat is hard, we are proud of this #CAN2019", the president said on Twitter.
The Carthage Eagles, who will face Senegal in Sunday's semi final, led through Ferjani Sassi's deflected shot from the edge of the box.
Youssef Msakni then doubled their lead after Wahbi Khazri's shot was parried by Melvin Adrien.
Naim Sliti added an injury-time third to cap off a counter-attack as Madagascar sent players forward.
Madagascar had to start Afcon qualifying in the preliminary round in March 2017, but went on to stun Nigeria in the tournament's group stages and then Democratic Republic of Congo in the last 16.
Their squad contains players who play in Reunion, the French lower leagues and Thailand. Their head coach Nicolas Dupuis also manages French fourth-tier Fleury.
But their dream came to an end as they were well beaten by a professional Tunisia performance in Cairo.
Thursday's other game saw Algeria reach the semi-finals by beating Ivory Coast 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time.
Algeria, seeking a first Afcon triumph since 1990, will now meet Nigeria in Cairo on Sunday.

Billy Williams – My Sweet-Swinging Lifetime With the Cubs
There are certain players that have incredible careers, but somehow fall into the background. Perhaps they are overshadowed by a more popular teammate, or their personalities are the type that naturally keep them out of the limelight. When you think of the Chicago Cubs, most people automatically think of Ernie Banks. Mr.Cub as he was affectionately known, basically owned Chicago. He could do no wrong as far as Cubs fans are concerned and every teammate of that era was subject to living in Ernie's shadow. The subject of todays book is one of those teammates that had a Hall of Fame career that was just as good as Mr. Cubs, but is not always at the forefront of the conversation when you talk about the stars of Wrigley.
From his roots in the Negro Leagues to his final destination in Cooperstown, Billy Williams had a very nice career. He crossed paths with some of the games immortals as well as etching his own name among them. If Williams had played for almost any other team in baseball during his era except maybe the Yankees, he would have been the toast of that town. He played almost his entire career behind Ernie Banks who had Chicago wrapped around his finger, so Billy sometimes becomes an afterthought. That fact alone is hard to comprehend because he put up career numbers that easily gained him acceptance to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Billy Williams book is a nice light reader that walks you through his career. From his early start in the Negro Leagues as well as the Minor Leagues you see the personal and professional obstacles he had to overcome to reach his goal. Many of the struggles were socially accepted at the time but were still a lot for any individual to handle. He also shows the reader the steps needed to make it and stay in the majors for any young player at that time wanting to be a Cub.
A majority of the book is obviously spent covering his time as a Chicago Cub. While the team had trouble finding any sort of success on the field, it still comes across as a great time to be a Cub player or fan during a great era of baseball. The book also covers his brief stay with the Oakland A's and the bizarre dealings with Charlie Finley. Finally it finishes up with his induction to Cooperstown and his life with his family after baseball.
If you are looking for sordid behind the scenes details of the life of a baseball player, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for nice, light and easy reading about a sometimes forgotten but nonetheless loved superstar of the Chicago Cubs, then you should take a look at this one. I learned a few things about Billy Williams on both the personal and professional level in this one and in the end think better of him as both a player and a man. All baseball fans will enjoy this book, even those outside of the Windy City.

The Hall – A Celebration of Baseball's Greats
Choosing the best of the best can really ignite some serious debates. Who belongs, who doesn't, who should be eligible and who should not even be there always makes for good conversations among friends. The Baseball Hall of Fame, which is nestled in that sleepy little town in upstate New York, is the mecca of baseball junkies. You can walk among some of the greatest artifacts throughout the history of the game as well as visiting the memorials to all the games brightest stars. If you are not lucky enough to be located within a reasonable distance of the Hall like I am (2 hours), then you may not be able to get there as often as you would like or even at all for that matter. I found a book, if you are one of the unlucky few that may never get there that will help you experience some of the magical aura that is The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
The Baseball Hall of Fame has really published a first-rate book with this one. The quality of the book alone is incredible. From the paper stock, to the printing this is a really nice book. Quality of the book is something I really never comment on, but this one is really that good.
The Hall has compiled all its members, including managers, executives and umpires and given the reader in-depth overviews of every single person. Each player section is broken down by position into its own chapter and then sorted by induction year. It has dedicated two pages to each personality and gives a nice biography of their career as well as a brief snippet of that persons unique personality. It is a nice feature for each person that you don't always get in these types of books, because it is usually more focused on the career numbers. Each person's Hall of Fame plaque also heads their individual page so you are able to read exactly what is hanging on the wall in Cooperstown.
The other nice feature is a several page essay at the beginning of each chapter. A player from that chapter has written about his own experiences during his career that led him to The Hall of Fame. It is something you don't normally see in a Hall of Fame coffee table book and adds a real human touch to this book. I think the Hall of Fame sometimes lacks a human touch when speaking about its members, so this brings it back to a very personal and fan friendly level.
This book covers all the players that were enshrined as of the publication date. The only down side to these types of books is that they are not accurate for very long. Once the next July rolls around someone is missing. But honestly this book is done so well it should belong in every fan's library. You may be familiar with some of the names, but there are others that are a real learning experience for fans young and old.

FFL Terms and Conditions (PLEASE READ!!!):
- Any items placed on the same order as a lower receiver will also be shipped to the FFL. If you would like additional items shipped to you directly, please place them on a separate order.
- Please enter your information or the receiving party's (the person that will be picking it up) information AS WELL AS the name, email and a good contact phone number for the FFL dealer you want us to ship your receiver to in the ORDER COMMENT box while checking out. We will obtain the shipping address and other necessary information directly from them.
- If the dealer you are using to transfer a firearm has not sent us a currently updated FFL to put on file or is uncooperative with our request there will be an extended period of time needed to process your order.
There will be a 30% restocking fee on all lower receivers returned because of failed background checks.
Federal law requires that you be 21 years or age or older to purchase a stripped receiver or frame. If a frame or receiver can only be made into a long gun (rifle or shotgun), it is still a frame or receiver not a handgun or long gun. However, they still are "firearms" by definition, and subject to the same GCA limitations as any other firearms. See Section 921(a)(3)(b). 18 U.S.C. Section 922(b)(1) makes it unlawful for a licensee to sell any firearm other than a shotgun or rifle to any person under the age of 21.

Yesterday, the College Board, which administers the SAT and associated exams, announced that it has begun to incorporate an "adversity score," which measures socioeconomic background, into its test scoring regimen. This additional score runs from a scale of zero to one hundred; it considers factors fifteen ranging from the education quality and academic rigor of the applicant's high school to crime and poverty statistics from the applicant's neighborhood. Does it have any merits?

Gemma Bovery is based on the 1856 classic Madame Bovary. If the movie followed the book, I never want to read the book. Hopefully it is more enjoyable than the movie. Since it is a classic, I'm assuming it's a great read.

University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry, Canada
Title: Achieving improved and more predictable vertical bone augmentation for dental implant placement by controlling bone graft substitute microstructure
Zeeshan Sheikh is trained as a Dental Clinician and a Biomaterial Scientist with clinical and research degrees of BDS, MSc and PhD in Dentistry. After graduating as a Dentist, he worked as a Dental Surgeon for 2 years before proceeding to obtain an MSc degree in Dental and Biomaterials field from Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL) with distinction. During his MSc, he worked upon synthesizing and characterizing novel polymeric guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes for periodontal regeneration applications. He then joined Altamash Institute of Dental Medicine (AIDM) as Head of the Department of Dental Materials and Preclinical Dentistry (2007). He also continued to work as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Oral Anatomy. He then proceeded to obtain a PhD from McGill University, Faculty of Dentistry (2014). During his PhD his work was related to bone grafting and augmentation for maxillofacial and orthopaedic applications using alloplastic bone replacement graft materials. He currently works at Faculty of Dentistry (Matrix Dynamics Group), University of Toronto and the Mt. Sinai Hospital
(Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute) in Toronto, Canada as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow. In addition to several conference talks and presentations both locally in Canada and internationally, he has more than 35 publications in peer-reviewed journals. He has also co-edited two text books on Oral Biology and Dental Biomaterials. He currently holds two research grants from the American Academy of Implant Dentistry Foundation and the Alpha Omega Foundation of Canada.Being trained extensively as a Clinician Scientist in world renowned insititutions like the Queen Mary University of London, McGill Univeristy and University of Toronto, his expertise lie in developing novel biomaterial options for bone grafting and alveolar ridge augmentation applications.
The long-term success of implants depends upon the degree of osseointegration that can be achieved, which is largely determined by the volume and quality of bone available at the time of surgery. Bone height and volume is often diminished in patients due to the extended time after tooth loss and this is a major limitation impacting long term dental implant treatment success. Some
of the commonly used surgical techniques for ridge augmentation are (i) Osteoperiosteal flap (OPF); (ii) Distraction osteogenesis (DO); (iii) Block grafting; (iv) Guided bone regeneration (GBR) using membranes; and (v) Subperiosteal tunneling for minimally invasive approach to GBR. This talk discusses the development of bioceramic graft materials with controlled microstructure and superior biological properties to those currently available. Dicalcium phosphate cements, brushite and monetite, resorb faster than
hydroxyapatite (HA). Monetite (unlike brushite) does not re-precipitate as HA in vivo, and demonstrates superior osteoconductive properties. We have produced monetite disc grafts by varying processing conditions which alter their physical properties such as porosity, surface area and mechanical strength. Histological observations after 12 weeks of onlay grafting on rabbit calvaria reveal higher bone volume (38%) in autoclaved monetite grafts in comparison with the dry heat prepared monetite grafts (26%). The vertical bone height gained is similar for both the types of monetite grafts (up to 3.2 mm). This talk discusses and provides information regarding two types of monetite onlay grafts prepared with different physical properties that could be used for achieving more predictable vertical bone augmentation.

Yamaha dark side performance
- Category: Tron Dance Shows
- Published: 15 August 2016
- Written by Jaroslav Rais
- Hits: 2075
Just few words for a start so you all know what this show was about. This year we took part in the Yamaha presentation in Milan. We became a part of propagation of their campaign called 'Dark Side of Japan'. And it was this theme we had in mind while picking the music and creating the choreography for a dance we later carried out – all in colors of this project.
Each of our performances contains two basic elements – first is the dance presented with light effects and the second is music. The choice of music is just as important as the LED dance routine. Without good music there is a low chance of creating good show. And for this particular project we have met with music that was rather non-sync and difficult to present. But we decided to take on the challenge and I think the results are definitely worth the struggle.
Client dictates a lot of aspects of the product presentations and you have to take in account their wishes and make some concessions. However, this shouldn't bring you down, because you can work with almost any kind of music, you just have to find the right way.
Creating the motorcycle helmets
Since we were making a performance for Yamaha, we decided not to use our standard helmets, but instead we chose to make new ones. We placed LED strips onto motorcycle helmets, see picture. This way we had thematic helmets that gave a rather nice finish to the whole biker concept of the show.
The strips were placed along the edges of the visor. Two strips were then placed on the visor as a sort of "eyes". We fixed the strips with nutrunner, making use of the pre-made holes on the helmet. We placed the standard 4 pin connector at the end of the strips – the one we normally use for all the other parts of the LED suit.

Dave can you show me how to do hinges where door turns into the fender?
Dave can you show me how to do hinges where door turns into the fender?
The method that Idonthavetime... mentioned above will result in a door of which the leading edge will tip in behind the rear edge of the fender.
Alternatively, using the method that Dave presented, but installing the hinge in the opposite manner (that is to say, putting the vertical pivot portion of the hinge on the door instead of the inside of the front fender) will also result in the leading edge of the door tipping in behind the rear edge of the fender.
There are some considerations to be made, though. Because of the thickness of the door and fender material (a scale thickness of over 3/4" in many cases), the leading edge of the door will bind on the trailing edge of the fender, if a proper panel gap is maintained. To avoid this, the thickness of the trailing edge of the fender must be thinned by removing material from the inside surface. In order to get a smooth operating door with a good panel gap, and make an allowance for the aditional build up of paint thickness on the door, the trailing edge of the fender must be almost paper thin to allow clearance for the leading edge of the door to 'tip in' behind the fender.
"It would be unusual, if the unusual didn't occur."
- Steamboat Gariepy
this method looks like the tutorial I posted on another forum (nice to see someone trying this).
I suggest beveling the edge of the front door opening so that the front of the door will not bind when opened.
Then tape the door to the body, temporarily attach the door hinge assembly to the door, now (with the interior bucket removed from the body shell) make a panel that can be glued permanently to the inside of the body that you can also glue the plastic part of your hinge assembly to. try to leave a gap or space so you can get the hinge pin/pins out and back in after painting.
THD: Your tutorial is thorough, well-written and illustrated. So, naturally, I've decided to try something different (and ramp-up the difficulty for a less-experienced modeler at the same time!). I haven't passed the point of no return, meaning from where I'm at, I can still go with the bent-rod method. But I found another way to do hinges that allow for the leading edge of the door to point inside the front fender, rather than have that leading edge come out from behind the front fender. I did not come up with this, I found it on a forum.
Of course, the problem I've given myself is that I have to set this within the door skin and against the kick panel of the interior vertically (so the door opens and closes horizontally) when neither attachment point is vertical, nor permanently attached right now. I'd like to take this apart to do the painting. It's a 68 Charger, not a hot rod that might be easier on me.
I figured, however, that I'd have similar, though probably fewer, problems if I did the bent-rod method. There will be a lot of fiddling to get the gap between the door skin and the interior panel correct, the spacing between the interior panel and the kick panel/rear side panel, and the pivot point.
Nice work Dave! Mind if I copy the link for this tutorial into my collection?
Nice work Dave! Mind if I copy the link for this tutorial into my collection?
Sure, no problem.
But don't worry about the credit part. I just hope it helps
I had no idea that you had such a nice collection of tutorials. I'll have to go through and see what I can use.
"In order to teach a dog, you must first be smarter than the dog" P.R. Ferguson
IdonthavetimeforthisThanks very much for this Dave! This is stellar! Any trick to getting the proper distance from the inner door skin to the interior door panel so the interior panel sits flush and vertical against the rest of the interior? I am on those magnets!Chris
If I understand the question properly, making things fit flush is a matter of test fitting and shimming until it looks good to YOU. Really can't explain it better, as some things are so hands-on, and a matter of taste.
Lot's of gray area's in building that are hard to explain, but I do my best.
Even video's don't show everything.
Hope this helps a bit.
And thanks Snorks for the nice comment .
Thanks, Dave... Real nice, n' simple.. once you get the hang of it!!
To get back up when you are down, fight when you are struggling, give the extra effort when you are in pain, come back when no one expects you to and stand up tall when people try to pull you down. That is what makes up a true champion!! Snork56 (S56) Henry D.
I told Idonthavetimeforthis - AKA Chris, I would do this for him. So here you are Chris, I hope this helps you and anyone else following along.
I don't claim to know what is the best way to do much of anything. This is just the way I do it .
Opening doors on later model cars like your Charger, is usually more work than on a street-rod, at least for me. Later model cars have more contours, and most street-rods are usually pretty flat, and don't have the more complicated jamming on the body and the doors.
After the doors are removed, one of the first things I look at is hinge placement and body features that the doors have to clear to open
I want the doors to open level with the ground, so I bend up a set of hinges for both doors, and cut 2 receivers per hinge that the hinge will slide into. I use all brass pieces. Some guys use styrene tubes for the receivers, but if you need to adjust placement, brass glued in with super-glue will pop off using pliers, but if you used plastic - GOOD LUCK ADJUSTING, plus brass tubes are much smaller in diameter and gives you less clearance problems.
Here's a pic of the demo car I'm using.
OK - The next thing I do is tape the doors back in place, and figure out where the hinges need to go. Mark the placement on the body for the hinge, and mark the 2 receiver locations on each door.
Now your ready to build door jams, which when done will decide the flushness of the doors with the body. This takes practice and experimenting. No stage of model building is a slam-dunk, so be prepared for some do-overs. No one showed me how to do this so I had plenty of do-overs and all kinds of boo-boo's (That's mistakes in model builders talk ).
Don't forget you want to use magnets, so you need to order some, and when they show up you need to make sure your jams have enough width for the magnets to fit after you drill the holes for them.
The magnets are round, 1/32 inch thick, and 1/16 inch diameter - Very small, but extremely strong. I use 2 per side. One in the bodies door jam, and one in the door itself. Make sure you get them in the right direction towards each other as magnets REPEL each other if you get the wrong POLES facing each other.
Where to get the magnets.: WWW.AMAZINGMAGNETS.COM
The order # is DO32-063 NdFeB disc magnets and you gat 100 of them for around $10.00, and about another $10.00 for shipping.
Remember when your building your jams leave enough room to drill your holes for the magnets all the way through the jam, so you can adjust the depth from both sides.
The holes in the doors for the magnets need to be deep enough for them to mount flush with the back-side of the doors, and the magnet in the body needs to be below flush. If you glue in the magnets and they touch - GOOD LUCK getting the doors apart. This is where "eyeballing" and experience comes in when installing the magnets. They should be about .020 apart to work well but not "Glue themselves together" .
The next pics show the built jams on this late model example.
The next thing I think about is clearance for the door to open past the front fender. I trim the leading edge of the door back to at least a 45 degree angle, sometimes a whole bunch more. This is just the "roughing-in" stage for when you get the doors installed and check the fit the first time. Same thing for the hood and trunk if you open them.
In the next pic of the doors back-side, you can see a black line at the leading edge of the door. That black line represents how far back I trimmed the the edge of the door to form a "Knife-edge".
OK, Centering the door.
Once the jams are built and finished something like in the above pics, it's time to "prop" the body on it's side and lay the door in place where you want it, and make sure the door edges are smooth, and that the gaps will leave enough room for paint and still close. No formula for this. It's just plain ol' experience and back to "EYEBALLING".
Also make sure you leave more gap in the front for opening. Same for the hood and trunk, or you'll be the guy with a nice looking model, with features that won't close .
If the door gaps are too large, you can use thin sheet platic a little thicker than you need glued to the door, edge, then when dry, sand to your liking. Or you can use body filler, and sand to shape..
Once the doors are to your liking, tape them in place and install your hinges. Use a pencil to draw on the back-side of the door the outline of the jam. From that line to the edge of the door you sand off some plastic to make room for the paint so the door, hood and trunk will close after paint.
Once in a great while I'll have a closing feature that won't close, and I have to go back and trim off some paint, and then carefully tape the area off and repaint.
It takes many years and many mistakes and lots of practice Chris- but if you stay with it, you won't believe how great you'll feel, and how proud of yourself you'll be when the magnets make the doors "SNAP" when they close.
Like I said, this is how I do it, and I'm sure you'll come up with your own formula over time.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
All the best,

To allow clients to run their own review generation campaigns, three checks need to be in place:
- A review generation campaign is set up
- A Reputation Manager report is available on the external location dashboard
- Client Access is enabled for that Reputation Manager report
1. Is a review generation campaign set up?
Before clients can run campaigns, you need to make sure that a campaign is set up for them to run. Once set up, they can run that campaign as many times as they prefer.
Head over to your Get Started page of the location you would want your client to run campaigns for and make sure that:
- A template is selected
- At least one review site is selected
Is Reputation Manager report available on external location dashboard?
Head over to your dashboard settings. Make sure location dashboard is available on an external URL and Reputation Manager reports are available on that external URL.
Is Client Access enabled for Reputation Manager?
While in dashboard settings, make sure Client Access is enabled and a password is set.
When your clients visit their Reputation Manager report on white-labelled location dashboard, they will see a 'Get Reviews' tab.
When clicked, your clients will be asked to log in — if they aren't already.
Once logged in, they will see customer feedback on any previously run campaigns and an option to 'Get more reviews'.
If this is the first campaign, then they will see three options to generate reviews; via email, via Kiosk Mode, and via Link Mode.
Running email campaigns
To run email campaigns, clients simply have to click 'Import Email Contacts' to start the process.
They will be asked to upload email contacts and will then be able to run the email campaign once have agreed to the 'Terms and Conditions'.
Running Kiosk or Link Mode campaigns
To run Kiosk or Link Mode campaigns, clients simply have to click 'Get Request URLs'. This will reveal a popup where they will see URLs for both the Kiosk Mode and Link Mode and will then be able to share them with their customers as necessary.

How to Connect a Vizio Soundbar to a Subwooferby Steve LanderUpdated August 23, 2017
While Vizio sound bars can't replace a full-fledged home theater system, they typically offer significantly better sound than the speakers built into the TV set. To get even better sound, you can add an external powered subwoofer to your Vizio sound bar with a simple composite audio cable, bringing deeper and richer bass tones to your listening experience.
Connect the phono plug on one end of the composite audio cable to the yellow-colored phono jack marked "Sub Out" on the back of your Vizio sound bar.
Unplug the subwoofer from the wall.
Connect the other end of the audio cable to the audio input on the subwoofer's back panel. It could be labeled "Line-level audio," "Audio in," "Receiver in," "Sub in" or something similar.
Turn the subwoofer's volume control all of the way down, and then plug it back into the wall.
Press the power button on your sound bar and on your television set and begin watching it at a normal volume level.
Turn your subwoofer's volume control up gradually until its output blends with the sound from the sound bar. Experiment until you find the right level.
Position the subwoofer near the sound bar to maintain the illusion that the bass is coming from the speakers.
- Position the subwoofer near the sound bar to maintain the illusion that the bass is coming from the speakers.

A Geek and his PVRFighting an uphill battle against my PVRs diminishing freespace
Archive for March 31, 2006
So many new shows, so little time
Well, I'm rather behind on reviewing the newest shows, so in the interests of my laziness, I have a mini-review of Free Ride and just grades for the rest of the new shows I've watched.
Free Ride
(Sunday at 9:30 on FOX)
Nate (Josh Dean) has just graduated college in California and is heading home to Missouri. Dissatisfied with his degree's career path, he thinks spending some time at home will help him find direction. Back home he runs into someone from high school, Amber (Erin Cahill) and is smitten but finds out she's engaged. Luckily (or unluckily) he runs into Mark Dove (Dave Sheridan), someone who wishes he still was in high school, who makes it his personal mission to see that Nate parties hearty. Throw in his parents who are in therapy and didn't expect him to return and make him live in the garage, and you have the makings of a quarter-life crisis.
This show, like Sons and Daughters, has some of the dialogue improvised, whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is another matter altogether. For the most part though, it is pretty funny, with Dove providing most of the laughs.
Grade: B-
Sons and Daughters
(Tuesday at 9:00 and 9:30)
Partially improvised, Cameron and Sharon are funny, but the kids often steal the show.
Grade: B+
The Unit
(Tuesdays at 10:00)
Haven't watched yet… 3 (4?) episodes on the DVR waiting
Grade: INC
The New Adventures of Old Christine
(Monday at 9:30)
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is very funny, unfortunately, most of the supporting cast does very little supporting.
Grade: B
(Wednesdays at 10:00)
Even though it's very Ocean's Eleven-ish, interesting nonetheless
Grade: B
(Fridays at 10:00)
Not watched yet. May be canceled from favorites.
Grade: INC
(Tuesdays at 9:30)
Stars Sarah Alexander (Coupling – Original BBC version), and a bunch of other people whom the only other I recognize is Kali Rocha (Halfreck; Buffy the Vampire Slayer). Seems OK for the one episode I've seen.
Grade: C+
Modern Men
(Fridays at 9:30)
3 dudes with woman woes jointly seek the advice of a life coach. Blah.
Grade: D+

The inspiration for this Strawberry Shortcake costume came when I found the shirt on clearance at Kohl's. I bought it when it was 2 sizes too big, thinking it looked like Strawberry Shortcake (when it was really not even related). I packed it away until my daughter got bigger. When I came across it again, I decided it would make a good costume, rather than an everyday shirt.
Paired with jeans and brown shoes she already had, this would be cheap! We ended up with a hand-me-down red jacket to tie around her waist (or wear when it got cooler at night).
Now the only challenge would be the hat. I started hunting for fabric for the hat in every fabric store I could, but could only find it with the vintage Strawberry Shortcake imprinted on it. I finally found some on eBay. The ribbon I found at a craft store, and also a Strawberry button to put on the center of the bow on the hat. I bought a bucket style hat at the dollar store, which had a camouflage print, thinking I would either cover it with the material, or copy the pattern. Instead, I ended up buying a .99 pattern in the style I was wanting. For the hair, I bought some curly doll hair at a craft store, and stitched bunches of it around the inside brim of the hat.
We added freckles with a brown eyeliner pencil, and that was it!

22 Greatest Living Room Ideas
Flick thru our kitchen design, toilet design, bedroom design, and additional residing areas to create a sanctuary regardless of the room. Taking advantage of compact residing areas has been a rising pattern in interior design. For a conventional European tackle design and decor, grasp copper pots and pans above an island bench to recreate a French farmhouse vibe within the kitchen. In any case, even in case you place your dining area in an amazing room, you continue to need to think about many design elements, particularly in tying it along with the adjacent lounge and kitchen.
Ashlie Broderic : The legendary inside designer Albert Hadley said, Nothing comes low-cost, however the educated eye will always spot very good things for the least money." I find yourself repeating this statement, in some kind, during nearly each mission.
Depending on the difficulty of the challenge and any contentious planning issues, you might also want a planning consultant. The colours and shades do not need to match, blue modern rug, lime green sofa, purple chair and brown rustic desk with coastal artwork?
Nor did the never-updated kitchen and bathroom, which each needed major work; Lauren, an architect, and Eric, a designer, had been sport.

"Ornamental finishes, like glazes, design home tips app will heat houses next year," says Doug Wilson, a designer on the upcoming Trading Areas reboot Right here, a charcoal gray trim breaks up the white, but doesn't stray too far for conservative tastes.
One of the vital fashionable small living room ideas is using neutral colours on walls, floor, ceiling and furnishings upholstery. Candle light can be a should, including a touch of whimsy and glow to a space. On this kitchen seating area, the backsplash is lit, the artwork is highlighted and the cabinet interiors are filled with mild.
A foolproof strategy to make any part of your property more inviting is to have lighting that's versatile with the time of day, mood or occasion. A structural engineer is also required on your Self Build as they play a key half in the design and are involved with the construction teams.

Press Release
Retired ATF Special Agent David Chipman Responds to Shooting in Colorado
Washington, DC — After being called to the scene of a disturbance early Sunday in Highlands Ranch, Colorado five deputies were shot, one confirmed deceased. Two civilians were also shot. In response to the incident, David Chipman, Senior Policy advisor at Giffords and a retired ATF Special Agent of 25 years issued the following statement:
"On the final day of the year a community in Colorado that should be getting ready to celebrate 2018 must deal with a terrible crime scene and five sheriff deputies shot. Law enforcement professionals train to be ready for any situation yet the dangers they face are needlessly increased by shootings like this that have become far too common place for cops responding to a call for help. It is not normal. Our country makes it far too easy for criminals to get their hands on a gun. It's time for lawmakers to stand up to the gun lobby and pass gun safety laws that can help prevent tragedies like this. Americans must demand for their leaders to show courage and the strength to act to finally stop the gun violence epidemic devastating our nation."

Trump could postpone meeting with Kim Jong-un
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un could be postponed, minutes after receiving the South Korean president precisely to coordinate that meeting. "There is a significant possibility that (the date of June 12) will not work", the president said after meeting with South Korean head Moon Jae-in.
"If it does not happen now, maybe it will happen later", Trump said. It is the latest setback for reconciliation efforts between the two Koreas: last week Pyongyang canceled its participation in a meeting with the South Koreans in protest of military maneuvers between Seoul and Washington. "There are certain conditions we want", Trump said, and if those conditions are not met, "the meeting will not be held". He refused to say what those conditions were. "That does not mean that the meeting can´t be finalized in the long term, but there is a significant possibility that it will not happen on June 12. But there is a good chance that the meeting will take place", Trump declared.
Moon said in the Oval Office that "the future and destiny" of the Korean peninsula depends on the talks, assuring the president that the world is "one step closer" to the denuclearization of the peninsula. Trump said he has noticed "a small change" in Kim Jong-un's "attitude" after he traveled to China for the second time as a preamble to the summit. "I did not like that", Trump added.
He said that he expects Chinese President Xi Jinping to remain committed to the goal of having a Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons, and praised him as an extraordinary poker player. But he expressed discontent over the fact that China loosened its controls on the North Korean border. Trump urged Kim to seize the moment to attend the summit and forge an agreement to end its nuclear program, promising not only to guarantee Kim's physical integrity but also a prosperous future for the North.
"I guarantee your safety, yes", Trump said if Kim agrees to a total, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization. He assured that if this agreement is reached, China, Japan and South Korea will invest large sums of money "to make North Korea great".

like I need to cheer you on. But, I'm also human.
I'm sorry. Right now, I'm going to break down and have a moment of weakness. Stay with me though.
Let me set this up for you right now. I'm in my bedroom, in the basement. I'm sitting on my queen sized bed that's covered in a power blue comforter. My phone
is blasting music (right now it's Panic! at the Disco). I'm siting with my back to the door so if someone walks in, they can't see the tears falling onto the keyboard of my laptop. I'll have a second or two to compose myself before anyone would see me.
It's just allergies. My contacts are bugging me. (And now Hey Brother by
Avicii is playing) I'll be fine. Don't worry.
Um. Yeah. About that.
Not so much today.
I'm struggling. I hate coming off a couple of good days. You feel like your
lows are an extra 30 feet deep. It's a bitch. There's nothing I wouldn't do
right now to feel better, to not hate myself, not hate my life, not hate the
stupid place I'm stuck in. I know there are some shining moments in my life (my
wedding, my husband, my family, my precious babies), but right now, I can't even
see them glimmering in the distance. I can't see them through all the shit
sitting in front of me right now. I can't find that small beam of light that
I've been walking, no, crawling towards for a while now. It's gone. Someone
forgot to pay the electric bill. (Cue I See the Light from Disney's Tangled. The
irony is not lost on me, I assure you)
Right now, I feel like I can't do my job. I can't take care of my family. I
can't function correctly, and I'm so broken that I shouldn't be trying to help
anyone else. I feel like I'm not doing enough. I don't feel like my in-laws
think I do enough around the house, which is why I bust my ass EVERY SINGLE DAY
trying to keep everything clean, picked up, doing yard work, organizing stuff,
and cooking dinner when they are running late. Today alone I picked up all the
dog poop in the backyard, sprayed and pulled weeds, watered the plants, did
all the dishes (three times now because my mother-in-law keeps filing it
back up), and deep cleaned the shower head in the upstairs bathroom. I
have yet to hear a thank-you.
You remember Mother's Day? Yeah. I got nothing from my in-laws. Not even a
spoken Happy Mother's Day (which is all I really wanted). I just wanted them to
acknowledge that even though I feel like my brain is cracking and splitting at
the seams, they see that I'm trying my damnest to keep it together.
(Just Give Me A Reason by Pink)
I feel like I don't pull my own weight in my family. Bills are piling up
faster than Kyle and I can tackle them, and I'm at home with the kids when I
could be working overnights. I feel like it's my fault we are still here, living
in a cramped basement, with in-laws who don't truly respect Kyle and myself as
parents (and sometimes people in general). I try so hard to not be a burden on
anyone, and I feel like I'm failing miserably.
(Let Her Go by Passenger)
I've been feeling so bad lately, that I'm starting to lose feeling. And I
know that's a dangerous thing. I've been here before.
Now, no one call the cops, or my mother, or my husband, or myself. I'm not a
danger to myself or others. I'm just putting this into context.
I know this is a dangerous place to be in depression, because this is where
suicide can creep it's way into your mind and your heart. This is when suicide
penetrates your very soul, telling you that you can make all the pain stop with
one or two simple moves. This is when the dark really gets a hold of you. This
is when you lose hope and just want the pain to stop. This is exactly how I felt
before I tried committing suicide six years ago. I didn't want to kill
myself. I wanted all the pain to stop. That's not something that a lot of people
will or even can explain (because they succeed).
(Let It Go by Disney's Frozen)
Back to that war with myself. I can actually hear myself telling myself to
keep pushing. To keep trying. To keep uplifting others who read this blog,
ask me for help online or in person, or smiling at people you come into
contact with on a daily basis. I can hear myself telling myself that it will get
better. The light will come back on. I'll find my way out of this shit of
situation. Then I hear that voice get engulfed into darkness.
(The Monster by Eminem)
I can feel the battle of wills in my head. I can feel the two sides fighting.
I can feel my sanity trying to grasp on by fingertips while this "craziness"
starts stepping on it's fingers. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I'm
starting to feel like I'm actually going crazy. I feel myself slipping slowly
farther into a place beyond reckoning, and there's nothing I can do to save
myself. I'm clinging onto my husband, my family, and my wonderful children, but
I don't want to drag them down with me. I think I'm starting to. I know I'm not,
but I can't truly convince myself that I'm not. That they are okay. I'm not
breaking them down too. It's a purely awful feeling that you can't shake.
And here's the part of the post that I turn this on it's head. I show you the
silver lining to all of this. (Radioactive by Imagine Dragons) This is were I
try to give you the upward push that you need and so desperately want.
This is where I will fail you for today. I've got nothing. Today is one of
those lows that I can't even bring myself to search for the shining truth in all
the madness. The beckon of hope that someone, anyone can grasp onto. That beckon
of hope is shining down on me as a curl into the fetal position from all the
pain in my heart right now. I'm sorry I can't help you today. I'm sorry I can't
give you any advice, help, or a thought to even ponder. All I can say is I'm
human. And today is not my day…
(Ready, AIm, Fire by Imagine Dragons)

Love these shoes!!
So this is another one of those dresses I made! I made this dress with the intent to make a fun ruffly dress, but it didn't work out! So I found some coordinating fabric and went with a circle skirt instead! I love the extra little ruffle beneath the waist band! Another dress that would be good with a fun brown leather purse! This dress so looks like it's from the 30's!! I love the little old fashioned twist there! The shoes are from Vanity, a store that is gone now.... I loved that store! Sunglasses were from Kohl's! I think.... Mom? Where were they from!! Lol they are my mom's! We like to share don't we mom!

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The similarities are striking for Notre Dame: facing a defending champion loaded with future pros as being the heavy underdog.
But the undefeated Fighting Irish insist Saturday night's game against Jameis Winston and No. 2 Florida State will be different from Jan. 9, 2012, when they were walloped by Alabama, 42-14, in the BCS Championship Game.
For one, they are used to the hype of a game of this magnitude — a significant percentage of this Notre Dame team played in that BCS game.
"We're definitely confident — we know we can beat them," offensive lineman Nick Martin, a starter on the 2012 team, said of the showdown between two 6-0 teams. "We expect to win. We're the underdog going in, which we love because we know what we're capable of."
Few predicted Notre Dame to reach the third weekend of October undefeated, particularly after starters Ishaq Williams, DaVaris Daniels and KeiVarae Russell, none of whom are expected to play a down this year, were suspended in August for alleged academic impropriety.
Quarterback Everett Golson, suspended himself last year for what he termed using "poor judgment on a test," has led the offense's charge. The defense has impressed, holding five opponents to just 12 points per game before last week's 43-point aberration against North Carolina.
"We have everything to prove," linebacker Joe Schmidt said.
Florida State, meanwhile, was expected to be here and was ranked No. 1 until being overtaken by Mississippi State this week. This, however, doesn't appear to be the same Seminoles team that won all 14 of its games last year en route to its first national championship since 1999. The Seminoles struggled with No. 15 Oklahoma State to begin the season, were down big to North Carolina State and were hardly impressive against ACC doormat Syracuse last weekend.
They are without center Austin Barron [arm] for the foreseeable future and defensive tackle Nile Lawrence-Stample [chest] for the season, weakening their two lines, which were far from formidable to begin with.
"In the trenches, Notre Dame has an advantage," ESPN analyst Danny Kanell said.
Former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz knows what Florida State and Jimbo Fisher are dealing with as the hunted, winners of 22 straight games dating back to the 2012 season — the nation's longest current streak. Holtz won 23 games in a row at Notre Dame, a run snapped by Miami on Nov. 25, 1989. The Irish never talked about the streak, Holtz recalled, and each victory was more a sigh of relief than a feeling of elation.
"There's no joy in that winning streak. It's, 'Whoa, we got by that one,' " he said. "You can't enjoy it because everybody expects you to win."
The constant controversies that have followed Winston — such as his upcoming disciplinary hearing to determine whether he violated Florida State's conduct code in an alleged assault in December 2012 of a Florida State coed, and an investigation into whether he accepted money in exchange for hundreds of signatures — has deflected attention from the streak. It hasn't knocked Winston off his game, however. He's coming off a three-touchdown, 317-yard performance against Syracuse and with him guiding the offense, the Seminoles are averaging 39 points per game.
"When we're on the field, that's a sanctuary," Winston said after the Syracuse game.
For all the yeoman's work Irish coach Brian Kelly has done in three seasons at Notre Dame since coming over from Cincinnati — reaching the 2012 title game, starting this year 6-0 — the Irish's recent history against the top five remains shaky. Notre Dame is 1-18 against the Associated Press's top five since 1998, with the losses coming by an average of more than three touchdowns.
Florida State is the Irish's latest opportunity.

The Top Ten Runway Shoes of 2010
as compiled by Footwear News and Women's Wear Daily. Just a little warning: some, if not all, of these shoes are a little over the top for most of us! But as you may know, runway looks are just that…they are over the top, they are for the runway, and they are meant to be that way to get the attention of the audience, the buyers, the retailers, and the public. And often the versions sold in the stores are a watered down version of what we see on the runways. So tell me what you think of these shoes, in concept such as the platforms, the detailing, the colors, the heel height, etc.
Alexander McQueen's RTW Fall 2010 Collection
Barbara Bui's fur lined buckled platform boots
Chanel's RTW Spring 2010 Collection
John Paul Gaultier's sequin pumps over platform wedges
Jimmy Choo's strappy sandals with Lucite heel and platform
Louis Vuitton's RTW Fall 2010 Collection
Nicholas Kirkwood's platform booties
Pierre Hardy's velvet and peacock feather booties
Prada's RTW Spring 2010 Collection
Proenza Schouler's carved platform wedge sandals with embroidery

Just my two cents on these runway shoes: my favorites are the Chanel clogs and the Louis Vuitton pumps, but I have to give a special shout out to the Proenza wedges too! 🙂
Happy New Year, shoe lovers!!!
Dedicated to your foot health and to your shoes,
