What is Pay-As-You-Go?
Have you heard about our Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) program yet? We created PAYG in 2008 to help credit challenged customers get natural gas service. This program allows customers to obtain service without a deposit or a pre-payment. PAYG is an alternative to the regulated provider program and can actually help people strengthen their credit scores.
How does it work?
Each month, our PAYG customers are billed only for the gas they are forecasted to use over the next 30 days. This estimate is based on historical usage and the current gas prices. We also calculate the difference between the usage from the prior month and the charges you received. This calculation is reflected in the next bill to ensure that you only pay for the gas that you use. After 12 months of good payment history, you can move to a lower rate plan and we will report your good history to a consumer credit reporting agency to help improve your credit score.
The PAYG program offers low fixed and variable rates without any upfront costs. We also partner with several non-profit organizations through the program to help those in need. CredAbility, The Salvation Army, United Way, St. Vincent de Paul, Atlanta Community Food Bank and Action Ministries are all PAYG partners of Gas South.
How can I sign up?
If you think PAYG would work for you, please check out our website for more information. You can also call us at 1-877-347-7243. Temperatures are dropping outside, so let us know if you want to Pay-As-You-Go!

I have been getting some development work done for my company from a team in India for the last 3 months. Previously we had an inhouse team but this time around we wanted to try the offshore model as we have heard a lot of other companies doing that in a very efficient manner compared to before.
Now the issue we are facing with this developer/company is that we did not specifically mention in the agreement that they will be sending us the source code. We assumed that is the general practice as why would we even get an project completed that we do not have the source code for. How in the world will we maintain that ourselves.
Now they are asking for more money for the source code. And they are asking almost 50% of the cost of the project.
What i need to know is that normal? Isn't source code already included in agreement by default?

Feds Agree To Release Redacted Interpretation Of PATRIOT Act That A Month Ago It Said Could Not Be Revealed
from the ch-ch-changes dept
Then, late on Friday, when the DOJ had to give its more detailed explanations, it suddenly reversed its position. It now says that it will drop its objection to the ruling being published, though there will be redactions. The DOJ claims that its initial reaction wasn't just to hide the full ruling, but that there's an ongoing investigation that it involves:
In its latest filing, the Justice Department explained the reason for its initial reluctance to have the opinion published: It relates to the subject of an FBI counterterrorism investigation. Some information in the opinion could tip off the subject or his associates, the Justice Department said.Of course, this suggests that their initial response, trying to block the release of any part of the decision was the typical kneejerk reaction of government officials to "well, keep this secret."
"However, upon review and as a discretionary matter," the government said, it decided to drop its objection to the court publishing parts of the opinion, as long as they're not classified and don't jeopardize the investigation.


text: MOSCOW (AFP) - The world's number two arms exporter Russia said Monday it had sold a record $15.2 billion (11.4 billion euros) in weaponry last year while expanding its list of clients to more African nations. "The export volume of military products reached $15.16 billion," news agencies quoted Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation chief Alexander Fomin as saying. "Our plans have been fulfilled by 111.8pc." Fomin said the figure was preliminary and would be updated by early February. Russia trails closely behind the US in world arms exports and has expanded its sales by 46 percent in the past two years. Its contracts reached $13.2 billion in 2011 and $10.4 billion in 2010 - figures reliant heavily on military ties with India and China.

Fans on the road are going to come after him. And let's not forget about those folks across town by the 110 Freeway.

On the PITCHf/x axes, this final curveball was located around -1.4 horizontally, and 1.6 vertically. I asked Carruth to go to his database and spit out all pitches between -1.5 and -1.3 horizontally and 1.5 and 1.7 vertically. Selecting only for pitches thrown to left-handed batters, of course. There were nearly 3,000 such pitches taken, and 2% of them were called strikes. There were nearly 300 such curveballs taken, and 0.7% of them — two of them — were called strikes. There were 76 such full-count pitches taken, and 3.9% of them — three of them — were called strikes. This call hadn't never happened before in the PITCHf/x era, but almost every single time, this pitch has been a ball. Which is the right judgment, because the pitch is not in the zone, and in the zone is where the strikes are, or are supposed to be.

Singles Dominates in 8-1 Tennis Win over Roseby Brent Harris • March 16, 2011 Share:
Wabash swept all six singles matches Wednesday in the Little Giants' 8-1 home court victory over Rose-Hulman.
View photos from the match here.
Rose took the opening doubles match 8-6 before Peter Gunderman and Ricky Ritter countered with an 8-4 victory at number two doubles. Ian Leonard and Evan Bayless combined for a 9-8 (4) victory at number three doubles.
Wabash then took control of the match, starting with a come-from-behind win by Gunderman at number one single. The Wabash junior was shut out in the opening set, losing 6-0, then rallied for a 6-0 win in the second. He followed with a 7-5 victory in the final set to take the win.
Daniel Delgado needed three sets to take the victory at number two singles. He won the first set 6-1, then lost 6-7 (5) in the second set before scoring a 7-5 win.
Zach Lowry took a 6-4, 6-2 win at number three singles. Wade Miller (left) cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 win in the fourth flight of singles play, while Ritter took a 6-0, 6-2 win at fifth singles. Leonard was a 6-2, 6-3 victor at sixth singles.
"When I scheduled this match against Rose-Hulman, I didn't think there was any way we would be outside yet," Head Coach Jason Hutchison said. "The fact that we just came off a week of playing outdoors during our spring break trip to Puerto Rico really helped prepare us to play most of this match against Rose outdoors. That got us off to a good start, and we just finished well when the match moved inside.
"Our singles play has really started to step up more than our doubles play recently. The first part of the season our doubles was solid — not that it's really faltered now but it's not where it needs to be. Our singles play as you can see by the scores was just lights out tonight."
Wabash improves to 10-4 with the victory, while Rose is even on the season at 4-4. The Little Giants travel to the Chicago-land area this weekend for a pair of matches. Wabash will play at Elmhurst College on Friday evening before taking on Lake Forest College on Saturday.

I dunno, I don't think he's ready for that yet. Some people are great solo pilots but crap leaders; I recall reading a blog post by an Army officer where he theorised that the reason USAF officers are weak in the whole leadership aspect is because compared to a butterbar 2nd Lt in the Army or Marine Corps, who is a platoon leader, and already has some responsibility, a USAF pilot only starts having people under his command when he's a Captain (his flight); other than that, he's only responsible for himself.
Contrast USMC doctrine, where every single officer has to complete The Basic School and Infantry Officers' Course.

Spoiler for VN plot:
It's just that his way of doing things is too reckless, requiring a GREAT DEAL of skill for them to succeed. Not something realistic.
What i wanted to say is that he's a good leader, but being a leader holds his potential back.

At this point, Loop Shorogane is not a leader - he's a highly skilled pilot who is very good at fighting, less so on leadership, and will need a good dose of mentorings.
There's a similar scenario in the Looking Glass series: Eric Bergstresser starts out as a grunt pricate, and gets promoted to Sergeant after some heroics and most of his team getting killed. Then he gets promoted to 2LT and despite attending OCS, is woefully unpreprared for the realities of infantry leadership, which forces his CO to do a lot of hands on mentoring.

^ I also review about that crossover work but its only 2 chapters and things will just start so there isn't much to talk (if you ask me)
then again that fic lack the strategy and tactics of Lulu. The author skips it when he do his trick though he present him as a good schemer but still it lacks more planning if you want to integrate the demon king lulu on muvluv.
I also agree that Shirogane doesn't really have much of a good leader material. He is more a lone warrior thrown into the array to kill them all. Just like what the prime minister did when Sakon took him together with Marimo to deal with the problem with Takaruga. He is lacking in terms of leadership when he decide to abandon the squad to kill the attackers thus resulting in Asagi and Hibiki being the only one to survive that attack. He is much better in doing lone mission without holding anyone back.
But that's just being reckless. Having a squad to lead will probably indeed hinder him but it will stop him from doing something reckless and it will also help others in their survivability.

the only ending I see is the bittersweet stupid ending of alternative. They forget the memories of Takeur and Takeru's memories are also erased. Only Kasumi and Sensei remembers it though is what I would like to say but for ending.... bittersweet.
At some point in the fic. Its for certain that the girls are in DEEP in love with Takeru but that love can't be return because Takeru should be aware of it that after everything is over he will return. That is his goal and even if he promise Sumika that he will take her about christmas the only reply of Sumika to Takeru is "don't make promises that is impossible to fulfill" or along those lines. Sumika is well aware of Takeru's condition and she probably already regained her memories from the past look. Meaning she knows she is the reason why Takeru is still there.
For now, Takeru is focus on killing BETA that he forgot about the whole casualty conductor thing and the main reason for him becoming one. But at some point. IT will SURELY hit him again. Specially if the girls start doing aggressive attacks. For all I care and wish even if its sad. Takeru ...... doesn't have the right to have happiness at the BETA world. That is NOT HIS WORLD.
Receiving happiness and returning it. Love is mutual and are both way but .... well that will end. Specially in Takeru's case which is awful and sad because the people will forget about him. Specially now that he is the talk of town. Its much easier for the trick of the world to erase his existence in the world because they are thinking about him and know him. It will be sad for the girls if they continue this useless struggle. Its different from fighting BETA which have a different ending waiting.
The only ending waiting for Takeru in this beta world is death without any trace left behind except for the data's which will leave problem. Yuuko used a trick to make sure she remembers him by using a record data but for the world that has data of him but doesn't have memory. It will fill a gap or a hole that will be left forever happen. There are evidence that he exist but no one will remember. Well they aren't as twisted as Yuuko and an esper like Kasumi >_>
Just like what sensei said. Its useless to talk more. To normals like you

@ Tsunade666, then what are your theories on Kasumi being at Takeru's original world. And after seeing how Unlimited and Alternative ended i don't think anyone should complain on the girls getting a happy ending with Takeru.

I haven't played altered fable. Its not in english Kasumi together with Sumika and the twins Meiya and Yuuhi
True that the end of alternative is rather sad but that's cannon. For me if the girls manage to stay alive and the BETA is destroyed. That will be enough.,
The girls indeed deserved good ending but what about Takeru? his goal is to return home. Does he deserved to stay on a foreign world? His own Sumika from his original world not the altered world that is in brink of destruction thanks to his stupidity, is waiting for him.
Remember who Takeru is and where he really lives. His is not from the beta world.

I have an idea on how Takeru goes. Everyone was at Yokohama base ( except Sumika, who died in the final assault on the main hive ). They are having a huge party in the PX. Everyone (66th Hunter, Total Eclipse cast ) was there including the Shogun. Then Takeru starts feeling weak. His cup falls to the floor and he collapses. Meiya manages to catch him before he hits the floor. They gently out him on the floor with his back leaning against the wall. Class Rep yells at the crowd telling them to get a doctor. But Takeru said it's pointless and holds up his left hand showing that it was fading...
They all beg him to hang in there and that help is coming. But Takeru says it's too late. And that it was his time. ( insert some line where he apologizes for leaving like this etc ) His final words would be
"My life was lived on a wheel that spun endlessly...but thanks to you all, it was..., a good life...a life worth living."
Yuuhi and Meiya desperately embrace Takeru hoping by some miracle he won't disappear. But he slowly fades until all their arms were feeling was the air.

the fading away reminds me of the end of final fantasy 10. Titus x Yuuna.
If Sumika is dead by the hive attack then Takeru has a strong will to tie himself to the beta world that long before getting flushed out.

Takeru will sugebu the superior throw in that gurren laggan to complete the glasses kamina courtesy by the crazy professor from srw. that has dimensional powers or something and has the same color as Sensei (I can't remember much about srw because I'm not much of a fan of mech)
Takeru will destroy the illusion of BETA invasion and end of humanity
but seriously speaking..... after all the fighting Takeru had done >_>
A bullet on his head will be a mercy that I can give him.
A tired and battered hero needs his rest .... you know
I hate the ending of alternative but I will give credit for the final mercy haven that the darn age author give to Takeru. A truly unsung hero.

Sterling Merlot Estate Bottled (half-bottle) 1998
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
When Newton began planting his estate, Cabernet Sauvignon was the preferred variety. He planted the esteemed Cabernet, but his decision to also plant Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot was a bold move. His Merlot vines were the first significant planting of that variety in the Napa Valley. Newton saw potential in the soft, velvety Merlot fruit, and in 1969 he took a chance by releasing California's first vintage-dated Merlot. This decision flew in the face of traditional standards, which held that Merlot was merely a blending grape, and forever changed the perception of red wine. People started to enter a restaurant and ask for a glass of Merlot!

Magnesium is an essential mineral for human nutrition.
Alternative Names
Diet - magnesium
Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heart beat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps regulate blood glucose levels and aid in the production of energy and protein. There is ongoing research into the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes.
Food Sources
Most dietary magnesium comes from vegetables, such as dark green, leafy vegetables. Other foods that are good sources of magnesium:
- Fruits or vegetables (such as bananas, dried apricots, and avocados)
- Nuts (such as almonds and cashews)
- Peas and beans (legumes), seeds
- Soy products (such as soy flour and tofu)
- Whole grains (such as brown rice and millet)
Side Effects
Side effects from increased magnesium intake are not common because the body removes excess amounts. Magnesium excess almost always occurs only when magnesium is supplemented as a medication.
Lack of magnesium (deficiency) is rare. The symptoms include:
- Hyperexcitability
- Muscle weakness
- Sleepiness
Deficiency of magnesium can occur in people who abuse alcohol or in those who absorb less magnesium due to:
- Burns
- Certain medications
- Low blood levels of calcium
- Problems absorbing nutrients from the intestinal tract (
- Surgery
Symptoms due to a lack of magnesium have three categories.
Early symptoms:
- Apathy
- Confusion
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Muscle twitching
- Poor memory
- Reduced ability to learn
Moderate deficiency symptoms:
- Heart (cardiovascular) changes
- Rapid heartbeat
Severe deficiency:
- Continued muscle contraction
- Numbness
- Seeing or hearing things that arent there (hallucinations)
- Tingling
These are the recommended daily requirements of magnesium:
- 1 - 3 years old: 80 milligrams
- 4 - 8 years old: 130 milligrams
- 9 - 13 years old: 240 milligrams
- 14 - 18 years old (boys): 410 milligrams
- 14 - 18 years old (girls): 360 milligrams
Adult females: 310 - 320 milligrams
- Pregnancy: 350 - 400 milligrams
- Breastfeeding women: 310 - 360 milligrams
Adult males: 400 - 420 milligrams

Race Matters: A Complete Breakdown Of The 2012 Election Exit Poll, Who REALLY Helped Barry-O Get Re-Elected??
A Breakdown Of The 2012 Election Exit Polls
Via Huffington Post
Young voters represented a greater share of the national electorate Tuesday than four years ago, once again voting for President Barack Obama by a huge margin, boosting his reelection.
Voters from ages 18 to 29 represented 19 percent of all those who voted on Tuesday, according to the early National Exit Poll conducted by Edison Research. That's an increase of one percentage point from 2008. Obama captured 60 percent youth vote, compared with Mitt Romney's 36 percent.
Headlines suggested a lack of enthusiasm among college students in this election and polling showed fewer were registered or planning to vote.
"The role young people would play during this election has been a major question in American politics for over a year, and it seems the answer is that they have been as big a force at the polls in 2012 as in 2008," said Peter Levine, director of the youth research organization CIRCLE at Tufts University. "They again supported President Obama, although not as lopsidedly as in 2008. Until tomorrow, it will be unclear whether youth turnout — or the turnout of any group — rose or fell, but young people were proportionately well represented in the 2012 electorate."
Obama's 60 percent to 36 percent victory among young people this year is smaller than his 66 percent-31 percent win over John McCain in 2008. But it is still the highest any Democratic presidential candidate scored in 30 years among 18- to 29 year-olds. John Kerry, for instance, only won the youth vote by 9 percentage points in 2004. Young people made up 17 percent of the electorate in 2004, when Kerry was defeated by President George W. Bush.
Congrats again to the POTUS Barry-O!

Exit Poll stats via NYTimes
The Election Day polls were based on questionnaires completed by voters as they left voting stations throughout the country on Tuesday, supplemented by telephone interviews with absentee and early voters. The polls were conducted by Edison Research of Somerville, N.J., for the National Election Pool, a consortium of ABC News, Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News and NBC News. The national results are based on voters in 350 randomly chosen precincts across the United States, and include absentee voters and early voters interviewed by telephone.
The state results are based on voters in 11 to 50 randomly selected precincts across each of 18 states analyzed by The Times. In certain states, some interviews were also conducted by telephone with absentee voters and early voters. In Colorado all interviews were by telephone and in Arizona the majority were. In theory, in 19 cases out of 20, the results from such polls should differ by no more than plus or minus 4 percentage points nationally, and 4 to 5 points in each state, from what would have been obtained by seeking to interview all voters who cast ballots in each of these elections.
Results based on smaller subgroups, like demographic groupings, have a larger potential sampling error. In addition to sampling error, the practical difficulties of conducting any survey of voter opinion on Election Day, such as the reluctance of some voters to take time to fill out the questionnaire, may introduce other sources of error into the poll.
The Times was assisted in its polling analysis by Ana Maria Arumi of Studio Arumi, Barry M. Feinberg of BMF Research & Consulting, Geoffrey D. Feinberg of Yale University, David R. Jones of Baruch College-CUNY, Michael R. Kagay of Princeton, N.J., Jeffrey W. Ladewig of the University of Connecticut, Helmut Norpoth of SUNY-Stony Brook, Annie L. Siegel of New York and Janet L. Streicher of Citibank.

We're just a few days away from the booziest week in Oregon, Portland Cocktail Week. Bartenders and drinks enthusiasts from all over the country are descending on the city for several days of parties, seminars, competitions, and the Great American Distillers Festival. Get all the details here.
For the opening seminar on Saturday I'm teaming up with bartender Ryan Conklin from Euclid Hall in Denver, Colorado. Denver is another great beer city and Ryan has been leading the way on beer cocktails there. We're going to give an hour-long presentation about mixing with beer. Attendees will enjoy four cocktails made with Averna, Damrak Gin, Galliano, Novo Fogo Cachaca, Upright Four, Rogue Ales, and a surprise beer that Ryan's bringing up from Denver. Tickets are available for $15.
The Oregonian offered a preview of Cocktail Week, including this interview with nine local bartenders. I'm in good company there discussing Portland cocktail culture with some of the city's top talent.

Steenbergen Sees Bright Outlook For Cheyenne Economy
Greater Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Dale Steenbergen says the outlook for the Laramie County economy in 2014 is strong.
He says the local economy is "going through a time that is very prolific" for businesses both large and small. He says the new Cheyenne Prairie Generating Plant which is being built on Campstool Road will provide energy for all the new businesses in the area. Steenbergen also says the oil industry is making more of a contribution to the local economy than many people think.
He says anyone who doesn't believe that should take a drive towards Swan Ranch, Campstool Road or east on Interstate 80 "and I think you'll be convinced pretty quickly that the oilfield is doing pretty well in and around Cheyenne".
While he admits there "isn't as much drilling as in Colorado" he says the oil industry has still created at least 750 jobs in the Laramie County economy.

Jeff Ross has slammed, dissed and humiliated some of the biggest names in entertain-ment, from Charlie Sheen to Donald Trump, in his duties as roastmaster general of the New York Friars Club and host of the Comedy Central Roast specials. The 47-year-old tours the country frequently, but his next stop brings him back to his hometown for a SummerStage gig in Central Park on June 26.
"I write the jokes in New York and tell them everywhere else," he says. "You have to have a thick skin to live in New York City. That's a big reason to live here." This is his roast of New York.
1. Apple Store, 767 Fifth Ave., at 59th Street
"I go at 3 a.m., and it's packed. It's about as packed as it is during the day. I like to go there and hang out, talk to the geniuses, get a drink at the Genius Bar. The best part of blacking out is waking up with a new iPad. There's always cute nerds there to hit on with my friends — both staff and customers. It's a scene. It's cheaper than a bar. You get the latest technological advances, free Wi-Fi."
2. Washington Square Park
"I love to spend time there. The fountain, the acrobats, people playing bocce ball, people doing drugs, people doing nude sunbathing, people walking their dogs — and that's just Janeane Garofalo. I read the paper there, I write my jokes there. I've been living in that neighborhood my whole career. It's like a big office: I take meetings there, I pick up a bagel at Bagel Bob's and take it there. Where else do you see a guy with pigeons all over his body? He'd be a great guy to roast. I guess he's used to be being s - - t on.I used to watch Dave Chappelle and Charlie Barnett perform in the fountain. That's where [Dave] found his comedic voice, right in the fountain. I bought him his first beer in New York as an adult. He wasn't of age yet. That was our graduate school, our spot to learn about human nature. It was arena comedy."
3. TKTS booth, Broadway at 47th Street
"You can't live in New York and not take advantage of Broadway. You see what's on the board, and the show you want to see is not up there. I didn't know it stood for "These Kinds of Tickets Suck." There's nothing more fun than a last-minute show at half-price with an obstructed view of Tom Hanks' mustache. It's half-priced admission — so I don't have to feel bad for leaving at intermission. Before the mayor cleaned up Times Square, these booths used to sell Quaaludes."
4. Bagel Bob's, 51 University Place, at 10th Street
"They deliver, they have the best coffee. And if Mayor Bloomberg legalized it, I would marry their chicken salad. It's not too mayonnaise-y, not too celery-y, it's got chunks of white-meat chicken. It's just heaven. I rub it on my body. And they've got delicious Jewish bagels sold to you by Arab guys. It's like peace in the Middle East right in a bagel shop."
5. Carnegie Deli, 854 Seventh Ave., at 55th Street
"Ever since I was a kid my dad was taking me to the Carnegie Deli. When my mom got sick, she was in a hospital in Manhattan. On the way home to cheer us up, my dad would always bring my sister and me to [there] for corned beef, latkes, cheesecake. Then we'd have to check ourselves back in the hospital with gout. The prices are crazy, and the sandwiches are too big. But it's the best pastrami on the planet. Carnegie Deli is the reason marijuana would never be legalized in New York. It's like a munchie heaven."
6. Citi Bike station, 10th Street and Fifth Avenue
"There's one right outside my apartment. Finally, something that smells worse than the subway: New York City publicly shared bicycle seats. I don't know who invented this, but it had to be a lawyer, right?"
7. Grimaldi's Pizza, 462 Second Ave., at 26th Street
"You can get up and dance right in the middle of the pizza place. Sometimes I take my shirt off, but that was the one time they threw me out. There's a guy there, an accordion player, who plays old Italian songs. If you go there on certain nights he sings everything from "That's Amore" to "Hava Nagila." There's nothing more fun for me and my Jewish family than eating pizza and listening to Jewish folk songs. I don't know why Jews and Italians are so similar, but we like the same music — and the same food it seems. And we've got full noses and big stomachs."
8. Comedy Cellar, 117 MacDougal St., at Minetta Lane
"I worked all the other New York comedy clubs first. [The Cellar] was the toughest to break through. I went there last when I couldn't be denied. I feel like I learned how to make fun of people there. To go to the bathroom, or to the Olive Tree restaurant upstairs, you have to walk right in front of the show room. I'd always get interrupted by someone going to the bathroom — I always picked on them. I would tell them they just had to go right in the aisle. No one is off-limits when they're going to pee at a comedy club. No one snapped at me. I've been pretty lucky. People can tell it comes from a place of affection."
9. Wo Hop, 17 Mott St., at Worth Street
"It's frequented by tourists, locals and the Department of Health every night. It's hard to get classic egg foo young with gravy on it, but it's amazing. You can also use it to caulk your bathtub. There are a lot of drunks in there, because its open so late. The delicious pork fried rice immediately soaks up the alcohol. They make crispy egg rolls you can also use as a weapon in case you get robbed coming out of there at 3 a.m."

Reaper posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI can't divulge too much information at the moment but.. If you own a Fiesta with a 1.6 Sigma engine that was built in Cologne between 4/8/2008 and 29/8/2009, and Valencia between 19/9/2008 28/8/2009 (I think that pretty much counts us all at the moment). Please expect to receive a letter from your dealer very soon. Sorry it's extremely vague, but there's nothing to worry about.. so don't panic. And before someone suggests it I'm not trolling. **EDITED: to enhance clarity.

mrk7 zetec s tuned to a fiesta mountune??
Reaper replied to boodachris's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubI've had it installed for about a month now.. and the only downside is that my MPG has gone down.. but I think that's more to do with my right foot. There were a lot of issues initially, as you may find if your do a search on here. But since the Firmware was corrected everything has been fine. I didn't have this issue as I made sure the update was release before getting mine done. It's a lot more fun to drive, loving the noise it makes and the acceleration now is epic. £1655 inc VAT to be fitted and for the money it's not a bad upgrade. BTW you don't have to have the styling if you don't want, that is an extra £150 and the wheels are an extra £650..
Retro-fitting Ford CD Player
Reaper replied to Mimik's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHmm the only way I've known for a Ford loom to be upgraded to connect to an aftermarket stereo is to buy the adapter that you linked to. Are you sure that they haven't just installed one of those looms and tucked the connectors down the back? I've not seen one that goes the other way tbh
Rev Limiter or not ??
Reaper replied to EzzyRallyBoy's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubWhen I took a Zetec-S out on a test drive, I asked the salesman what it limits at, and if I was allowed to try it.. he obliged *fool* ;) In 2nd it went to about 6500/6700rpm and then stayed there, it didn't bounce or anything. I then changed to third and it kept going. I've not done it in mine, the most mine has seen is 6000rpm but the torque lags at 5500rpm (as per rolling road).. which is the best place to change. Since having the Mountune Kit the torque level should be higher, and the limiter too, so will be going back to see the difference.
Ahh right.. sorry didn't see that in your Sig.. The titaniums and 5 doors are talking longer due to popular demand and that they don't have enough to supply, respectively. Regular orders like Zetec's/S/etc/3-doors are going through no problem, but special orders are taking their time I'm afraid. They basically can't keep up with the demand. I know it doesn't help your situation but at least you now know a little more about what's happening. If you really want to know what's going on if you send me your order number and dealer code I can get my mate who's in direct contact with them out there and find out what the actual reasons are.
Out of interest? had you ordered a 3 or 5 door? and was it a Titanium or Zetec-S?
Well I could make a phone call on Monday and find out for you?
Opening up the festa
Reaper replied to Fi.Es.Ta's topic in Ford Fiesta ClubIf you are going to gun it, take the car to 5500rpm before changing gear, I have had mine on a rolling road at the torque band dipped at 5500. The VCT will kick in at roughly 3500rpm in every gear. BTW mine mine gave an output of 126BHP, stock. Apparantly due to it having an adaptive ECU (basically it responds to the way you drive) and that I've always had Super Unleaded in it.

Rick Clark was a double-sport standout for Lipscomb University, but in April he will be honored for his entire sports career by the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame. Clark is one of 10 new members to be honored in the 2014 class on April 14.
He is a 1967 graduate of Hazel Green High School where played on coach Jerry Dugan's state championship team of '67. Jerry is the brother of Lipscomb legend Ken Dugan, who also coached Clark at Lipscomb in basketball. Jerry Dugan, also a Lipscomb graduate, called Clark, "The best player I had at Hazel Green. He came to play every night.''
At Hazel Green, Clark was All-State, All-Area and All-Big Six in basketball. He averaged 20 points and 14 rebounds per game as a senior. He was MVP of the county tournament and honorable mention All-America in 1967. In 2010, he was named to "The HuntsvilleTimes" five-man All-Decade for the 60s.
At Lipscomb he was a four-year letterman in basketball serving as co-captain as a junior and senior. He also lettered on the tennis team earning co-MVP honors as a senior. He spent some time this week talking with lipscombsports.com from his home in New Market, Ala.
What years did you play at Lipscomb? Who were your coaches?
"I came to Lipscomb on a basketball scholarship. I had three coaches while I was there - Guy Phipps, Ken Dugan and Mike Clark.
"I enjoyed the game of tennis so much that, that is what I did during the offseason.
"My junior year they were lacking some players. I finally felt like I had reached the point where I could compete. They had six slots and didn't have enough players. I was asked to play and had a pretty good time.
"I had sort of a natural talent for it I guess. In rural Alabama the sports are basketball, baseball and football. I don't even think we had a tennis court at school at the time. I started playing when I came to Lipscomb. I picked it up pretty quick.
"Dr. Robert Hooper was the coach of the tennis program at the time. He asked me to play. It was a niche for me."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"We had a good freshman team. We were 8-1, I think. That was a good year.
"One of the big memories I have was the night we played Athens College from Alabama. There were several players on the Athens team at that time that I had played against in high school. That sort of revved me up a little bit.
"Athens really had a good team that year. They had beaten us down there and they were supposed to beat us at Lipscomb. This was the year that coach Dugan was coaching.
"I usually played inside. I was about 6-foot-3. I jumped pretty well. I don't know what happened that night. But I got fouled something like 20 times. Normally you didn't get fouled that many times.
"There were some records posted out in the lobby in McQuiddy. I broke the record for free throws made in a game that night hitting 19-of-20. I hit 15 straight, missed one and then hit four more. I only had eight other points.
"I had a pretty good night and we won that game by five points, 71-66."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"Overall my biggest influence was Jerry Dugan, my coach at Hazel Green. He was the initiator of my basketball achievements. We won the state championship my senior year. We were a small school.
"I wasn't that big as far as going to a major school. But I had smaller schools in the area I was looking at. But Jerry Dugan was the one that influenced me to come to Lipscomb as far as my talent.
"At Lipscomb I looked up to Eugene `Fessor' Boyce. Even though he wasn't coaching at the time, I looked to him as an influence in athletics and everything else."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"I enjoyed the campus at Lipscomb. I thought it was a beautiful place. I also enjoyed the area around campus.
"I made great friends there. The professors were nice.
"At that time I had a number of good buddies who played baseball. My last year there they won the NAIA National Championship in 1971. I enjoyed going to those games."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"I was going to coach and teach, but I didn't do that. You could see the Christian commitment to things at Lipscomb. I ended up working with urban development in Nashville for a number of years in the housing department. At that time I worked mostly with people who were in public housing.
"It gives you a sense…an obligation… to try to help people who didn't have things as well as you did."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Dr. Robert Hooper was one of the people I enjoyed most. `Fessor' Boyce was also a great guy.
"Dr. Hooper made it interesting. He liked sports too. I guess that is why he was the tennis coach at the time. Athletes had a special place for him. I guess that made a connection there for me with him. I spent time at his house several times. I really enjoyed his company.
"You couldn't beat `Fessor'. He was just a kind, understanding person. You really felt good being around him. He was that kind of person."
Where do you live now?
"I live in New Market, Ala."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I am retired. I graduated from Lipscomb with a major in physical education in 1971. After Lipscomb I went to Middle Tennessee State and got a master's in political science in 1972.
"I started out working for Housing and Urban Development in Nashville for four or five years.
"I got tired of the Nashville traffic every morning. I changed careers and went into sales. I worked for a library company and later in educational and computer software sales for Rand McNally throughout the Southeast."

Two Republican candidates for the 1st Congressional District railed against spending while touting their records in an open forum at the Technical College of the Lowcountry Monday evening.
Former state Sen. John Kuhn and former Charleston County Council Chairman Curtis Bostic fielded audience-submitted questions in separate hour-long sessions from state Rep. Shannon Erickson, R-Beaufort, who organized the series of forums open to candidates of any party through the March 19 primary. A likely runoff would come April 2 before a May 7 general election.
While the two struck similar conservative positions on taxing and spending, differences emerged on immigration and the environment.
Sixteen Republicans and two Democrats are running for the GOP-favored coastal district that includes most of Beaufort and Charleston counties with parts of Colleton, Dorchester and Berkeley counties. Speculation about who would enter the special election started immediately after Gov. Nikki Haley tapped then-Rep. Tim Scott to serve out Sen. Jim DeMint's term.
Kuhn, an attorney with estate-planning practices in Charleston and Bluffton, spent his formative years on a California hay farm where he later established an exporting business to the Far East. But he left the family business for law and the Lowcountry, going on to win a bid for the state Senate representing Charleston and Berkeley counties in 2001.
But he fell short of a third term, losing handily to current Sen. Chip Campsen in a 2004 primary after holding the Senate floor for two days at the end of the 2003 session to successfully filibuster a $250 million bond bill for capital purchases in higher education, including a reported $80 million for Charleston colleges. Kuhn admits the blowback from that action, which also held up a large incentives package for economic development and angered lawmakers from across the state, cost him reelection, but he now wears it as a badge of courage.
"It is one thing to say in campaigning (that you'll stop spending)," he said. "It's a whole 'nother thing to filibuster on the senate floor for two days knowing you're costing your political capital and they're going to go after you."
He argued at the forum that two-thirds of the spending needlessly duplicated private sector offerings and Senate leadership went back on its previous opposition to the measure. He mentioned Sanford by name, saying the former governor rebuffed his plea for support, though Sanford's campaign denies the assertion.
"Mr. Kuhn's claim is baffling and somewhat at odds with reality. There was no one in Columbia who has stood against spending more consistently and more forcefully than the governor, and we suspect this might be a case of sour grapes," said Joel Sawyer, referencing Sanford's endorsement of Campsen in 2004 and Kuhn's reported endorsement of Democratic gubernatorial rival Tommy Moore in 2006, which Kuhn denies making.
Kuhn supports a fair tax that would replace income taxes with a broad sales tax and the elimination of tax exemptions that act as federal expenditures, but he also favors tax deductions for private schools in the name of competition and the replacement of military cuts in Congress' sequestration package with decreases in areas such as foreign aid.
On gun control, he said he sees the need for strong background checks and fixes to the mental health system, but he criticized gun-free zones in schools and efforts to reign in magazines or assault weapons.
But Kuhn said his experience growing up in California helped shape his opposition to favoring the children of undocumented immigrants in legalization.
"I have no problem with making it easier to become citizens, but everybody should go through the same process and should be treated fairly," he said.
He also argued for full-throated environmental regulation based on the degredation he's seen in his visits to China, arguing the government has a role under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.
"It is, ironically, one of the areas we do need solid regulation," he said.
Bostic, a personal injury lawyer, was elected to the Charleston County Council in 2000, serving alongside Sen. Tim Scott for six of his eight years. He notes the Council didn't raise taxes once during his tenure, that he sat at the negotiating table with Boeing as chairman when the successful economic development effort came through and he pioneered a land preservation program that's bought up more than 15,000 acres to date.
He's also been active in the nonprofit world, founding "Remember," an international humanitarian aid organization, in 2005, and serving on a number of boards.
About 20 of the more than 60 attendees, many of them children, bore Bostic t-shirts and occupied the first few rows of the TCL auditorium. He directly addressed them throughout, simplifying his arguments for strict constructionism for his young audience.
Bostic's main issue is spending, and he emphasizes it with his website URL, stopspending.com.
"We're getting to the point as a nation where we have to do something or it'll be done for us," he said.
On the looming March 1 deadline for dramatic across-the-board defense cuts, Bostic said he doesn't agree with lawmakers who advocate allowing the deadline to expire to "clean things out" and eliminate long-standing uncertainty.
"I'm not so sure that's a great idea," he said.
He stopped short of pledging to push for a fair tax, noting it would require a constitutional amendment, but he said he wants to reign in loopholes and keep marginal rates as low as possible. He tied that philosophy into his wider critique of government action outside its more traditional role.
"What's happened over time, we've ignored the rule of law and we as a nation have taken on things that weren't rightfully within the purview of the federal government" in the Constitution's enumerated powers, Bostic said.
Bostic took a softer stance on allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. legally, saying, "They took no wrong action and America is all they know."

Review: Apple Computer iPod Hi-Fi Speaker System
Company: Apple Computer
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPod Hi-Fi
Price: $349
Compatible: iPod 3G, 4G, 5G, mini, nano
Pros: A powerful single-enclosure iPod-docking speaker system that delivers superior midrange and bass detail at high volumes, rivalling or exceeding the peak performance of low-end 2.1-channel audio systems with separate components. Simple controls and an included six-button Apple Remote make system easy to use. Runs off of wall power or batteries and includes carrying handles, thereby semi-portable. Charges iPod with wall or battery power.
Cons: Top existing all-in-one iPod speaker systems deliver better dynamic range (particularly treble response) at close distances; our favorites also include independent, incremental bass and/or treble controls. No video or data ports on back. Staid design, high price, and top-mounted iPod dock detract from appeal. Nearly seventeen-pound weight with batteries renders it the heaviest of all semi-portable speakers we've seen.
In order to fully understand our perspective on Apple Computer's new iPod Hi-Fi ($349), a new all-in-one speaker system with an iPod dock on top, you'll need to put aside both the hype surrounding its announcement, and the highly critical response its design and pricing have thus far received. Speakers should never be judged by their marketing, nor criticism from those who haven't heard them. And in this case, you'll also have to avoid the obvious - seeing iPod Hi-Fi as a direct competitor to existing iPod desktop speakers such as Altec Lansing's inMotion iM7 (iLounge rating: A-), Bose's SoundDock (iLounge rating: B+), and JBL's On Time (iLounge rating: B+). They'll all compete for your dollars, but they're actually very different types of listening devices.
As suggested but not fully explained during Apple's unveiling, iPod Hi-Fi is designed for a "ten foot" listening experience - not ten inches or two feet, but ten or more. It is also the most austere-looking iPod listening device yet released, which is really saying something given the intentionally stark look of Bose's earlier SoundDock, and the beauty of Altec's iM7 and JBL's On Time. For these reasons, it will neither look nor sound its best sitting right next to you, on your desk, or on the floor; Apple actually suggests you place the speaker at ear level, specifically on a "stable, hard surface, away from floor and ceiling," with "room to breathe on all sides." This largely explains why the device was initially demonstrated by the company at the far ends of four large rooms: it is a simple but undeniably powerful audio source, designed primarily as a substitute for the separate speakers and amplifier of a 2.1-channel home stereo system, rather than as a boombox or table radio. It also includes its own remote control, which is literally necessary to take advantage of its horsepower.
There are, however, a few problems. Apple has rhetorically placed itself in competition with virtually every premium iPod speaker by touting iPod Hi-Fi as an "audiophile-quality" system that can go "on the road" with D batteries. In so doing, the company simultaneously sparked debates on appropriate iPod speaker pricing, practicality, and quality. Most riled up were notoriously finicky audiophiles, who immediately seized upon Hi-Fi's size and specifications to suggest that it would never meet their needs. Some correctly questioned whether "audiophile-quality" sound is necessary or desirable for typical iPod users, whose collections consist of compressed, distorted music. Still others saw the $349 price point as ridiculous given the large number of more affordable systems, including attractive, great-sounding options like Altec's iM7 (below). And no matter how angry or confused people may be, virtually everyone has the same question: how does Apple's first iPod speaker system actually sound?
Our comprehensive review below considers each of these key issues, and more. As with other significant reviews we've posted recently, this one's broken up into a number of key clickable sections that you can expand based on your specific needs and interests. We hope that you find it useful.

A Few Words on "Audiophile-Quality Sound" and Lossless Audio (Click here for details.)
Audio Quality: Overall, and Comparisons (Click here for details.)
If sustained sound quality at high volumes was the only measure of a great iPod speaker system, ratings would be easy to assign, and iPod Hi-Fi would be at or near the top of the pile. In fact, the iPod-specific speaker market has grown so considerably over the past three years that some people may want it only for this reason, and we certainly wouldn't dissuade them - or other readers - from giving iPod Hi-Fi a try. Apple Stores will no doubt stock all of the speakers we've referenced above, so if you're really curious enough to try them for yourself, we'd advise you to try systematic tests: the same song on each system at the same volume, with the iPod's equalizers off and the speaker's own equalizers set to your preferred settings. That way, you can get an idea of what's best for you.
From our perspective, however, the aggregate assessment of a speaker system should also take into account factors such as typical-volume performance, dynamic range, pricing, design, size, and practicality. Considering all of these factors, and despite its good (if warm) low-volume sound and strong performance at high volumes, iPod Hi-Fi falls somewhere in the middle of the semi-portable speaker pack. Because of its comparatively high price, staid design, and underwhelming treble response, it's hard to recommend to typical iPod users over Altec's inMotion iM7, Bose's SoundDock, or JBL's On Time for most of their listening purposes. Even Klipsch's iFi has recently fallen in price to as little as $200, making it a comparatively aggressive alternative to iPod Hi-Fi. Except when placed at the far end of a large room and cranked up, these options will provide listeners with great audio experiences at lower - potentially considerably lower - asking prices. It's hard to believe we're saying this about an Apple product, but pay the Hi-Fi's premium only if you really need the extra horsepower and don't mind its extra size and weight.
As our readers have suggested, it's hard not to feel like something is missing from iPod Hi-Fi - not just video or data ports, or an RF remote control, any of which would have been useful. Rather, Apple needed a big feature to justify its big asking price, like an internal AirPort Express for wireless iTunes integration, or the cutting-edge, paradigm-shifting industrial design we've come to expect from the company's products. They're nowhere to be found. And so, apart from its raw power, which won't be useful for many people, the only stand-out feature here is the optical audio-in option, which iPod-only users currently have no reason to try.
For these reasons, we consider iPod Hi-Fi to be a missed opportunity for Apple, and one that would benefit tremendously from evolving into a wireless-enabled version 2. Until then, it's a speaker system that will satisfy the audio needs of certain listeners - and good enough to earn our general recommendation - but it will also give most of the iPod third-party accessory development community reason to breathe a sigh of relief.

Former Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum, who pleaded guilty last year to the conspiracy that helped him win his seat in a 2011 special election, apologized at his sentencing hearing in federal court in Little Rock.
A former east Arkansas lawmaker and his father were each sentenced Thursday to three years of probation, including nine months of home detention, and fined for conspiring to commit election fraud in a scheme that included destroying ballots and exchanging money and food for votes.
Former Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum, who pleaded guilty last year to the conspiracy that helped him win his seat in a 2011 special election, apologized at his sentencing hearing in federal court in Little Rock. He resigned in September days after pleading guilty.
"I broke a system in our country that's in place that puts confidence in our government and because of me, people where I live, they don't have that confidence anymore," Hallum told U.S. District Judge Kristine Baker. "I'm deeply sorry for what I've done and I'm standing before you today to accept responsibility and I'm ready to accept any consequences for my actions."
In addition to the probation, Hallum was ordered to pay a $20,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service. His father, Kent Hallum, received the same probation, home detention and community service sentences and was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine.
The two will be restricted to their residences during the nine-month home confinement, with exceptions for work and other activities approved by probation official. Hallum is prohibited from drinking alcohol and owning a firearm during his probation.
Prosecutors said Hallum and his father, Kent, tasked campaign workers Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone with obtaining absentee ballot applications for certain voters and assisting voters in filling out the ballots, while actually completing absentee ballots in some instances without regard to the voter's actual candidate choice.
The ballots were typically placed in unsealed envelopes before being mailed to local election officials. Prosecutors said if a ballot had been cast for Hallum's opponent, it was destroyed. Prosecutors also accused the four of offering money and food to absentee voters in exchange for their support.
"The activities of Mr. Hallum and his associates are very disappointing. It erodes the very basis for our democracy," Acting U.S. Attorney Patrick Harris said in a statement released after the hearing.
Hallum and his father told the judge they knew at the time they were breaking the law.
"When I got involved in this and I saw what we were doing was wrong, I could have stopped this and I could have saved my son from what happened earlier today and all we've been through," Kent Hallum told the judge. "But I am truly sorry."
Carter and Malone were each sentenced to probation and home confinement last month.
Hallum won the east Arkansas seat in a special election in 2011 following the resignation of Rep. Fred Smith, who stepped down after he was found guilty of felony theft of property delivered by mistake. A judge later dismissed the theft case, and Smith reclaimed the seat as the Green Party's nominee in the November election.
Kim Felker, who lost to Hallum in the Democratic primary runoff for the seat, attended the hearing and said the case had eroded the trust voters in east Arkansas have in the election system.
"It makes our side of the state look like they're sleazy, and there are very many honest hard working in that side of the state," Felker told reporters after the hearing. "They were horrified by what happened. They wanted a representative who was going to be honest and hardworking."

Arizona's Ban On Illegally "Harboring" Immigrants Up Before Court
SAN FRANCISCO – Should it be against the law to give rides to, house or otherwise "harbor" people in the country illegally?
That's the question before a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals, which heard arguments Tuesday about a controversial section of Arizona's 2010 immigration law that penalizes people for "harboring."
The federal government argued that the section of the law should be blocked. The harboring law was in effect from July 2010 until a lower court last year barred police from enforcing it.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has asked the 9th Circuit to overturn the lower court's ruling.
The issue is whether a statute exclusively applies directly to an alien as opposed to someone who is doing business with or assisting, or is a family member of an alien. This statute is written in the broadest possible terms.
Lawyers for Brewer say the law applies only to people violating other criminal laws who also are harboring someone in the U.S. illegally, and it doesn't conflict with federal immigration laws.
The Republican governor's attorneys also say there's no evidence that the ban has been enforced against any people or organizations represented by a coalition of civil rights groups that have challenged the law in court.
The U.S. Justice Department, which has challenged Arizona's immigration law in court but isn't a party in Brewer's harboring ban, successfully petitioned the appeals court to let its lawyers take part in Tuesday's arguments in support of the coalition.
Mark Stern, a DOJ attorney, argued that the federal government was meant to enforce immigration laws, not states, because of its close relationship to foreign policy and other related matters. What's more, the Arizona statute was vaguely written, he said, leading to possible confusion over who would be considered in violation of the law.
"The issue is whether a statute exclusively applies directly to an alien as opposed to someone who is doing business with or assisting, or is a family member of an alien," Stern told the court. "This statute is written in the broadest possible terms."
Brewer's lawyers argue the ban doesn't conflict with federal policies, is aimed at confronting crime and that the law's opponents haven't shown they have legal standing to challenge the prohibition.
"There are many situations where states and the federal government prosecute the same crimes, like some murders and drug crimes," said Kelly Kszywienski, one of the attorneys representing Arizona.
One of the judges, John Noonan, was critical of the way the state's law was worded. He took umbrage with the state, saying the law targeted people who "violate a criminal offense," saying it made the statute "incomprehensible."
"It's nonsense as it stands," said Noonan. "How do you violate an offense?"
The state does not have recent precedent on its side. Another federal appeals court has barred authorities from enforcing similar harboring bans in Alabama and Georgia.
Also, Arizona's harboring law has gotten little, if any, use by police. Two weeks before Bolton shelved the ban, she said during a hearing that she knew of no arrests that were made under the provision.
The prohibition had been overshadowed by other parts of the law, including a requirement that went into effect in September that officers, while enforcing other laws, question the immigration status of those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the questioning requirement in July, but also struck down other sections of the law, such as a requirement that immigrants obtain or carry registration papers. The nation's highest court didn't consider the harboring ban.
Last month, the 9th Circuit upheld a decision by Bolton that prohibited police from enforcing a section of the 2010 law that made it illegal for people to block traffic when they seek or offer day labor services on streets.
Omar Jadwatt, the American Civil Liberties Union attorney arguing the case for the coalition challenging the law, said the real concern is not just for people living in the U.S. illegally.
"It's concerning to anybody who regularly gives rides to friends and neighbors, or family members who lack status. It should be alarming to people who own rental accommodations," Jadwatt said. "It's also a concern for 'Dream Act kids,' who have permission from the federal government to be here, but Arizona doesn't think that's good enough."

NYC's Meatpacking District: A guide
In the early 1900s, New York's Meatpacking District was home to around 250 meat markets and slaughterhouses. A century later, only five remain.
Nowadays, the district is a shopaholic's dream. Popular retail spots include the New York flagship stores of Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander McQueen, as well as many smaller boutiques.
Design studios and art galleries abound as well, and in 2015 the Whitney Museum will move to its new headquarters at the south entrance to the High Line. That popular attraction -- a landscaped park on elevated railroad tracks -- brings lots of foot traffic to the area.
Come sundown, the glamorously dressed can be seen headed for a bite to eat at Del Posto or SEA followed by a night of dancing at Le Bain, STK or Cielo.
Here's a cheat sheet to this rapidly evolving neighborhood.

D-backs prez Hall launches prostate cancer foundation
PHOENIX -- D-backs president Derrick Hall believes that he was diagnosed with -- and so far spared from the ravages of -- prostate cancer for a good reason: to live the rest of his life helping other victims.
To that end, Hall's Pro-State Foundation website went active on Tuesday hours before his D-backs opened a three-game series against the Rockies at Chase Field. Plus, the D-backs are staging their second annual 5K Race Against Cancer downtown just adjacent to the ballpark at 7:30 a.m. MT on Saturday.
PHOENIX -- D-backs president Derrick Hall believes that he was diagnosed with -- and so far spared from the ravages of -- prostate cancer for a good reason: to live the rest of his life helping other victims.
To that end, Hall's Pro-State Foundation website went active on Tuesday hours before his D-backs opened a three-game series against the Rockies at Chase Field. Plus, the D-backs are staging their second annual 5K Race Against Cancer downtown just adjacent to the ballpark at 7:30 a.m. MT on Saturday.
The proceeds from the race are being donated to Hall's new foundation, and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation.
"We all believe things happen for a reason," Hall said on Monday. "I believe one of the reasons I was diagnosed was so that I could spread the word and educate others. Nothing has changed. This gives me yet another larger platform to drive awareness and educate men. It's our breast cancer."
Cancer is a ticking time bomb, and no one knows that any better than Hall, who was diagnosed with the disease and had surgery to remove the prostate 2 1/2 years ago. Earlier this year, he was told he also might have pancreatic cancer -- the disease that killed his father -- although comprehensive tests done at the University of Washington in Seattle proved to be negative.
That gave him only a momentary sense of relief.
Hall undergoes a PSA blood test every three months to make sure that his prostate cancer hasn't spread. He confided on Monday that the last test showed the PSA level was slightly elevated. The doctors will check again in another three months, and if the level continues to elevate between zero and one, he will have to undergo radiation therapy -- five days a week for eight weeks.
"I'm thinking, 'Geez, I'm never here for eight weeks,'" he said. "I don't know how I'm going to make that work."
He will find the time if he has to. Hall has been through this before. After the surgeons discovered that the cancer was wider spread in his prostate than scans had originally detected, they suspected that some cancer cells might have migrated into his blood system. Since then, the PSA level has had a tendency to elevate and then return again to normal, so he has been able to skirt radiation.
But it's like a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, bringing constant anxiety and worry.
"It should be a 0.01 to be completely indetectible," Hall said. "Prior to this one, I think I had three tests that were below 0.01, so it seemed like this was all gone. And now it's above that. The doctor said it could just fluctuate. We'll know in a couple of months. The anxiety, though, of waiting on another test, gosh, hopefully it will go back down.
"It would be one thing if I could enjoy good baseball, winning baseball."
But he doesn't even have that to fall back on right now. The D-backs headed into their series against the Rockies with an 8-20 record and a .286 winning percentage, both figures the worst in Major League Baseball. What's happening on the field is ephemeral. Winning and losing seasons come and go. Certainly, Hall and managing partner Ken Kendrick, another prostate cancer survivor, want to determine the reasons for the poor start. But Hall has life issues that are much more important at the moment, and now he wants to share the wisdom of that experience with other men, and will do so through his foundation.
The numbers for prostate cancer are stark. According to figures provided by the American Cancer Association, more than 250,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed each year, and one in every six men contract the disease. Meanwhile, in excess of 30,000 of those men die from it on an annual basis.
It is the second-leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer, but there are millions of cases of men whom, like Hall and Kendrick, beat the disease and live long and healthy lives.
"It's really going to be a resource for men who have prostate cancer or prostate problems," Hall said about the foundation, which can be accessed through www.pro-state.org. "They can turn to this and find support groups, questions and answers, my story. There's so much involved. You'll see. I'm really excited."
Since the day he learned the news of his diagnosis, Hall has been very public about his condition. In the early going, he sent an email out to all of his friends and D-backs employees to explain what was transpiring, and then held a news conference. He is intent on being the face of the disease. The foundation will remain in the family, with Kendrick on the board and Hall's wife, Amy, heading it.
For the race, like last year, Hall will be out there on Saturday as grand marshal, starter and general glad-hander.
"Anything to keep me from running," he quipped.
That fully fits his personality. He loves to be the emcee, tell jokes, do Elvis impersonations, tell the world that if he can make it, everyone stricken with cancer also can make it.
"I was fortunate that I had a number of people I could turn to in baseball," Hall said. "I can list them all, those who have been through prostate cancer. But most people don't know anyone. They don't know where to turn. Well, now they do. All their answers and resources will be available to them right here on our site."
