I'm trying to wise up 300 million people about money & finance
The 400 richest Americans used to pay 30% of their income on the average to Uncle Sam. Today, they pay 18% on the average, according to Steve Rattner, a Wall Street financier, who just presented these figures on Mornings With Joe,MSNBC.
The main reason for the drop in their tax rate of some 40% is the tax cuts by George Bush in 2003, taking the rate paid on dividends and capital gains down to 15%. This reduction in the investment class's taxes powered the bull market in stocks from the fall of 2003 until the fall of 2007.
Shockingly, the plan to raise the debt ceiling collects nothing from the wealthiest Americans to reduce our budget deficit. The Republican right wing holds the Obama White House hostage. It's a sad day for the principle of sharing the pain equitably.
Very well written! http://www.aaghealth.com
Dividends and capital gains are investment income not earned income. People with high income pay the top rate. Studies have shown that when the capital gains tax rate is raised……people invest less and the government actually brings in less money.
A unheard of website internet site similar to this have to be bookmark as a result of reality of its utilization while in the potential. It could be being a reference someday for my occupation because of the truth it actually relates what I'm hunting for in a very issue. I thank the blogger for submitting and sharing this manual. I recognized a lot from this considering that of its admiring submit to analyze. http://tax-defense-network-cpnotices.com/cp-notice/47-2/
Maybe you should move to a nice clean 18% flat tax then? I am sure people would no longer keep their money offshore and tax compliance will go through the roof. I think the main problem with this country is that there are too many ulterior motives. Do you want to increase tax revenues or just increase tax rates? I don't have the data but I would bet that higher rates lead to a lower level of compliance and a lot of shuffling of monies to protect themselves from the destructive force that is taxation. Keep it low and keep it simple. Taking away people's money in an effort to make them wealthy is as backwards as you can get.
I am astonished by the amount of people that think raising taxes is a good thing. Have you ever considered how much money is actually necessary to run the essential functions of government including infrastructure maintenance? Is that really where all of your money would be going? Or will it disappear into some black-hole where you will read no benefits and be asked again to pay your fair share.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — A 25-foot statue named the Caveman will continue to greet visitors to Grants Pass.
The Cavemen, a pelt-wearing group formed in the 1920s to boost tourism, voted this week to keep the statue at the Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center near Interstate 5 instead of moving it to Grants Pass High School.
The club considered relinquishing the statue because it's down to only a few members and lacks the money for upkeep. The high school was a natural fit because its athletic teams are nicknamed the Cavemen.
But news of the potential move stirred some old Cavemen from dormancy. Club member Carl Rhodes told the Grants Pass Daily Courier (http://is.gd/er5uKB ) that some voters hadn't been to meeting in decades.

Wendy is a staff favorite who was adopted from AAHS in January 2012 and returned in August after the toddler in the home became too much for her. The parents could tell she was miserable and felt that she deserved a more peaceful place to live out her golden years. Don't let her age fool you--at 10 years old, she still has spunk and is in very good health. Wendy has an extremely affectionate personality. She would make a wonderful lap cat for someone looking for a relaxed companion. Wendy would prefer to be the only animal in the home, but promises to be all of the friend you will ever need.
For more information about Wendy, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 706-850-8777. You can also visit Wendy at our Adoption Center in the back of Pet Supplies Plus.

Earlier this week my preteen daughter had an experience at school that prompted me to post the Facebook status, "Mean girls suck."
I got an overwhelming response from mom friends and older girls who have been through the mean girl circus and made it out alive. It seems that almost every female I know has experienced shabby treatment from her female peers at some point in her life, and it makes me really sad that it's accepted as "just a part of life."
I certainly had my share of dealings with mean girls at her age. The one that jumps to the front of my mind just about every time I think about this subject is this one:
I was 11 years old. I started school young, so I was a year younger than the other girls in my class. This meant I was way behind them physically.
You remember how it was. You're hyper-aware of your body, and every little thing about it is embarrassing to you. My friends had boobs. I didn't. I wanted boobs more than anything in the world, and my flat chest was the bane of my existence that year (it would later become my nose, and then the little space between my front teeth).
I was sitting in the junior high cafeteria when a girl who was kind of the rock star of the group (and coincidentally in possession of serious boobage), asked me if I wanted her mashed potatoes. I love mashed potatoes. I shrugged and said, "sure."
Then she looked at me and said, her voice rising at least 300 decibels in order to be heard by every boy in the room, "Well, you can't have them, flatty."
Twenty-one years later, I can still remember the humiliation I felt as all those eyes focused on my chest and laughter erupted across the room. And, to this day, I wonder what made her do that to me. Why did she feel the need to hurt me?
I'm not claiming that my child is perfect (just practically perfect), but for the most part, she's a friendly, slightly nuts, witty and peaceful kid. She likes people, and she's compassionate. She goes out of her way to soothe hurt feelings, and she's known for giving inspiring pep talks to friends.
Those are wonderful characteristics to have, right? But, it seems those are also the characteristics that mean girls prey upon.
After talking to my friends and their daughters, I've come to the conclusion that if you're sensitive, you're gonna get it. Maybe the mean girls like to get a rise out of their victims, and those delicate-souled girls give the best reactions.
I don't think we'll ever really understand why young girls feel better about themselves when they make another girl miserable. All I know is I found myself searching for the right words to say to my daughter to make it all better. And, it was hard.
There is nothing in this world more horrible than seeing your child hurt and having no power to fix it.
If you have a young daughter, you're most likely very familiar with the experience I'm describing.
I took it upon myself to turn to the trusty Internet and perform some searches to see what I could come up with. Mean girls are so very prevalent in our society (Tina Fey didn't write a movie about 'em for nothing) that I felt sure I could find some sites dedicated to dealing with that particular form of bullying.
The search words "dealing with mean girls" brought up nearly four million results.
I spent a good amount of time perusing some of those hits and looking for the most comprehensive, yet succinct, tips I could find. I like this list by Denise Witmer, author and adolescent specialist, best.
Top Five Tips for Dealing with Mean Girls:
- Learn to communicate with your daughter. Keeping the lines of communication open will keep you in the loop and help her feel like she is not alone. This is very valuable to a teen who has to deal with mean girls.
- Be considerate of her needs. She may just need your moral support or she may need you to step in. Either way she will need you to be on her side.
- Encourage your daughter to find friends that help build her self esteem. They are worth her time and effort in friendship. The more she is connected to these type of peers, the less the mean girls can do to her self-confidence.
- Pay attention to how she is feeling. Be on the lookout for signs of depression. If you feel she isbecoming depressed, have her see a school or private counselor.
- Model appropriate behavior at home. Avoid buying into gossip or saying mean things about other people. Take on activities that make you feel good about yourself. Lead your teen by example.
Did you experience mean girls when you were younger? How did it make you feel, and how has your perspective changed now that you're an adult? Is your daughter being bullied by mean girls? How are you teaching her to deal with them? Please share your experiences in the comment section.
And, as you and your daugthers go out into the world, always remember this wise saying my wonderful family member Amy reminded me of this week: "Birds always peck at the best fruit."

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Abused, abandoned, sick, and neglected horses: it's a big problem in our area.
The mission of the Horse Protection Society of North Carolina is to make the world a better place for horses -- through education, rescue, and rehabilitation.
HPS provides a sanctuary of last resort for unwanted, neglected, and abused equines.
HPS has trained investigators that perform on-going abuse and neglect investigations with the goal of educating the owners in proper care of their horses.
They only prosecute abuse cases when absolutely necessary. When the owners are not interested in the humane care of their horse, the HPS offers to the take the horse for rehabilitation.
The Horse Protection Society of North Carolina was founded by Joan B. Benson, who joined us the morning on Larry's Look.
Our chief photographer, Dan Robbins and Larry spent an afternoon at the HPS. Right now, there are 35 horses being rehabilitated at the facility -- which is near China Grove in Rowan County.
There's no other place in our area that offers so much for these beautiful animals.
HPS of North Carolina is a non-profit and depends on the generosity of those who care about horses.
It takes over $10,000 a month to operate the facility plus hours and hours of volunteer help on the farm. Horses are fragile animals and need a lot of attention.
That's why the HPS offers special courses in equine behavior, horse training, and ownership.
Here's their website: www.horseprotection.org.

Hafa-adai! Guam Time and Date is:
Q: What's the diving on Guam like? Before you read on please remember that we are avid divers and get to travel all over regions that most divers consider world class. In other words, we are extremely spoiled. Please don't compare Guam to Palau, Yap, and Truk Lagoon... but Guam diving really is quite a bit better than most of the world!
See Guam "instant load" high quality videos from our Diver Below television series. You'll be very surprised at the diversity of diving here.
Q: Do you want variety? Walls, Drift Dives, planes, shipwrecks, and a wide choice of reefs. Among the most popular sites are the Blue Hole, Crevice, Coral Gardens, Haps Reef, Pete's Reef, Barracuda Rock and the twin shipwrecks of the Tokai Maru and the SMS Cormoran.
We have over 60 dive sites around the island. Guam has over 200 species of coral and an abundance of marine life at most locations. We also have a very good variety of beach diving sites, most with very easy entries and exit
Below are the dive sites just within Apra Harbor, all protected and diveable year round.
Water Visibility & Temperature: Guam waters maintain a temperature of 82-86°F (28°C) year 'round with excellent visibility at most locations. Apra Harbor dive sites generally have visibility in the 30-60'(10-20m) range, and all "outside" reefs offer 100-150' (33m) and more. Above water we are terribly spoiled with temperatures consistently between 75-90°F (24-29°C) every day!
Ease of Diving: With a few exceptions, diving on Guam is VERY EASY. There are numerous walk-in reef dives, and a very wide choice of boat dive sites. There are virtually no swells 95% of the year, and most dive sites are within an easy 10-20 minute ride by boat. A beautiful reef, perfect for diving and snorkeling, lies directly across the street from our shop in Piti.
When is the best time to come? Just about anytime. Our rainy season, if we have one, is generally from September to December. This means that we have combinations of rain and sun throughout the day. The windiest months are between January and early April as our tropical northeast trade winds are active. The calmest months are between late April - August, but since virtually all of our diving is on the leeward (west) side of Guam just about all of the sites are available all the time.
Can I dive Guam economically? Yes. Let us assist you in setting up your trip to Guam or Micronesia. There are a number of hotels that offer very low rates; we can also offer you two different agencies that rent cars for as little as $44 daily or a van for $95.00. Our 5-Star club offers tremendous savings on diving and much more.
Here's our best tip: During the week our boats usually go to the most popular sites (Blue Hole and Crevice) for the first dives each day. These are usually filled by local tour operators who use our boats and they pick the dive sites. Plan your stopover here on Guam to take advantage of our weekend "local divers" trips. These are scheduled (see the boat schedule page) and you can book them far in advance.
What about hotels and rental cars on Guam?
Can we book your entire trip? Absolutely. We can book individual and group accommodations, scuba diving, snorkeling., car rental and make your Guam vacation affordable and exciting. We offer 2-tank boat dives, group packages, snorkeling trips, scuba classes, a 5 Star Membership giving you great MDA discounts, and more.
With a retail shop offering T-shirts, rash guards, scuba & snorkeling equipment, a full rental department, cameras, souvenirs and more you will find all your Guam diving & snorkeling needs right here.

Come Together
The main event at the Parliament of the World's Religions was an act of hospitality.
BY: Gustav Niebuhr
- Within an immense steel-framed tent, pitched a few yards from the grey-blue waters of the Mediterranean, thousands of Christians, Jews, Muslims and many others have been learning a Sikh word for hospitality. The word is langar and, in practice, it means a vegetarian lunch served free to all comers since July 7, when the week-long Parliament of the World's Religions began in this coastal city in northeastern Spain. "Unless you are charitable, you will not do this," said Bhai Sahib Mohinder Singh, a gracious man with a white beard, white turban and white robes. Mohinder Singh is chairman of the Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha, a Sikh organization headquartered in England. His group built the canvas-topped gurdwara, or Sikh house of worship, complete with carpeted wooden floors for the occasion. "Unless you are humble, you will not do this," Mohinder Singh said.
He could be speaking of the parliament itself, an international assembly that-despite its name-casts no votes. None of the 7,000 attendees in Barcelona were elected. Meeting every five or six years in different cities worldwide, the parliament exists primarily to bring people of different faiths together-ideally, into cooperative contact. That it exists at all testifies to the existence of a religiously oriented peace movement persistent enough to endure even at a time when religion serves some as pretext for acts of terrorism.
Organizers selected Barcelona as their meeting site long ago. But in coming here, participants gathered in a nation recently and deeply scarred by terrorism. Last March 11, in an incident that echoed the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, more than 200 people died in a series of bombings of commuter trains in Madrid.
Notable in this atmosphere is the number of sessions devoted to Islam, either exploring aspects of the faith or discussing how Muslims might begin dialogues or collaborate with people of other religions. During a 90-minute period Sunday morning, attendees could choose among four presentations by Muslims from the United States, Europe and Asia. Topics included a beginner-level explanation of the faith, during which panelists sought to puncture Western stereotypes of Islam as violent or oppressive of women.
To some attendees, these sessions represent a broader trend in the way some Muslims have responded to the Sept. 11 attacks, an effort to distinguish the faith itself from the deeds of violent extremists. The Rev. Marcus Braybrooke, a Church of England priest and longtime leader in interfaith work, said, "What has happened now, and has happened in Britain, is a lot of Muslims seem to think they have to have dialogues to explain themselves."
Nurah W. Ammat'ullah, who directs a Muslim women's organization in New York City, agreed that the number of sessions offered on Islam in Barcelona had increased since the parliament met in Cape Town, South Africa, in 1999. But she questioned whether Islam was really any better known among non-Muslims than it had been three years ago, before the Sept. 11 attacks.
It is not just Muslims here who would like to be better understood. After the Sept. 11 attacks, some Sikhs in the United States endured harassment and even violence when people mistakenly thought the turban Sikh men wear suggested some sort of affiliation with Osama bin Laden, who is often pictured in a turban (albeit of a different sort). At their gurdwara here, the British Sikhs made a vivid effort to tell their faith's story, with photographs and posters explaining Sikhism, a monotheistic religion that originated 500 years ago in the Punjab, a region now divided between India and Pakistan. The exhibit includes a detailed scale model of Sikhism's most revered house of worship, the Golden Temple, in Amritsar, India.

Why would you take a screenshot of that? Like its an achievement or something?
One time I had over 500. I don't know what happened! It must have been some sort of glitch or something.
I just had 2 when I refreshed, so I might win.
And yes, it is meant to be curiousity instead of curiosity. Don't question my intentions.

The Buffalo Grove Symphonic and Jazz Bands will be performing "BIG BAND CLASSICS" at Libertyville High School on Saturday evening, November 10 at 7 PM. Libertyville High School is just a short jaunt away from our home base in Buffalo Grove. We hope to make many new friends and fans in addition to those of you who have already heard one of the finest Community Bands in the area!
Our concert theme is "Big Band Classics". This is not just music that comes from the American popular jazz style of "Big Bands" from the 1930's-through today, but also established and destined-to-... become classics of the Symphonic Band Literature that are written on a grand scale. For those who are familiar with that style of composition we hope you will revisit old friends in our performance of the Holst Second Suite and George Washington Bridge. Slava will amuse and entertain you in a manner that only Leonard Bernstein can with a mix of Vaudeville, Broadway, and Symphonic style all compressed into 3 minutes! Our performance will be rounded out with the poignancy of Eric Whitacre's lovely "October" and our concluding number – the by turns transcendental and powerful "Give Us This Day" by David Maslanka.
Our Jazz Band will entertain you tonight with Duke Ellington's seminal "Cottontail". Also, Conductor and Clarinetist Howard Green will "front" the group on Artie Shaw's swing-based Clarinet Concerto. Not to be outdone on the Big Band score by their Jazz Band colleagues our flutes, clarinets, oboes, horns, bassoons, and euphoniums will join them for the wonderful Warren Barker arrangement of In the Miller Mood where EVERYONE will swing.
The Buffalo Grove Symphonic Band was started in October 2001 by the Village of Buffalo Grove Arts Commission and Howard Green, Music Director and Conductor. The band is one of the premiere Symphonic Bands with several performances through the year. More about the Band can be found on its website, www.bgsb.org, or on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Buffalo-Grove-Symphonic-Band/146432254584.
Whether you like Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and Glenn Miller, Modern Composers like William Schuman, or Wind Band composers like Eric Whitacre and David Maslanka - there will be something there for you to love. Live music by a dedicated group of fine musicians - and all for less than the cost of a first-run movie!
By all means, please share this with your friends, students, families, and associates!
Tickets are on sale now! $10 in advance, $12 at the Door, and $8 for Seniors and Students with ID at all times. Call 847 459-2518 or see any Band Member.
We hope to see EVERYONE there!

Enjoy the New Surprises that Come with Parenthood!
1. Babies are capable of sleeping through the night from 4 months on. This applies to 99.9% of babies, excluding those with medical conditions that might interfere. (Example, I had a patient with both hips, legs casted from his waist down, with a lovely bar between his legs, making it very difficult to find a comfortable position.) Aside from major medical issues of that degree, there is absolutely no reason that babies cannot sleep 10-12 hours a night, without waking, from 4 months on.
2. Parents have to truly want their babies to sleep through the night, in order for this to happen. I am well-aware that many parents desire a family bed, and adhere to an attachment parenting theory. That's absolutely fine, and in these instances, I acknowledge that parents probably aren't looking for their baby to sleep through the night at an early age. You won't catch a judgemental stare from me - I simply recognize that my advice really won't apply in these situations.
3. Rarely have I met a baby who refuses food in the middle of the night. I've been there! The baby that ravenously attacks the breast in the middle of the night when offered - I know her well - she sleeps down the hallway from me! Nighttime eating beyond 4 months is a habit. It doesn't matter how much they appear hungry. Feeding and cuddling feel good to a baby, and there's not one on the planet, that I know of, that will refuse it, if offered.
4. Habits are said to be hard to break for a reason! A baby, older than 4 months, who is still getting middle-of-the-night feedings, will protest if/when you try to shut this down! My oldest daughter has an extremely feisty and persistent personality, even now at the age of 8, and believe me when I tell you that she protested when I stopped offering nighttime feedings to her at 4 months of age! I lost count of how many hours she cried, (and in all honesty, I turned off the monitor!). What I didn't lose count of, was how many nights it took of her crying, before she got the message loud and clear: three. That's right - three nights and she was sleeping through the night. It would have taken much, much longer, had I broken over and "rescued her" and the older a baby is, when they're still waking and feeding at night, the harder that habit is going to be to break.
5. Babies who are not allowed to sleep through the night are chronically sleep-deprived. What does this look like? Here's the picture: a baby who is overly fussy, doesn't nap well during the day, may or may not be gaining weight well, only sleeps in someone's arms or a carseat or swing, and would be described as having a "high-maintenance" personality. Babies who are well-rested, wake up happy, not crying. The more tired a baby is, the more fussy he or she gets. Remember that crying doesn't always signal that they need us to pick them up, cuddle them, or feed them. Sometimes crying is a signal that they're exhausted and need to sleep.
Those are just a few highlights, but hope it helps!
The only thing we've done different with the two of them is that DD would get a bottle to 'top her off' before bed and he has pretty much refused any bottle, though we are getting ready to start trying to push that again so that we can leave him with a sitter.
Martina, I am glad to hear that the same advice worked for your DD when she was 4 months old! I would love to hear from other mothers who may have had similar experiences with getting their babies to sleep through the night.
Phoenix31674, I hope it works out for you also. Just be persistent and consistent. Good luck and keep us all posted
When he got up again at 5, I let him cry for about 16 minutes and then went in to change and feed him. I'm sorry, but I just cannot let him scream like that.
I think I'm going to resign myself to the fact that I have a baby who does not sleep through the night right now - just like me as a baby. Neither one of us has been feeling sleep deprived with the previous schedule of waking and he naps just fine during he day and is a wonderfully happy baby. This may be an 'if it ain't broke' type of moment. Maybe if I feed him solids shortly before bed it will help. He's been getting solids earlier in the day because between 6 and 8 I'm focused on dinner and getting my DD to bed, leaving little time for anything other than breastmilk before i put him down.
I'll see how he behaves during the day and decide if we are going to try this again. I won't be rushing over to check on him in the night - mostly since with no monitor I can't hear any of the little whimpers - but if he's still crying after a few minutes, I'll go to him. I'd rather only be up for 5-10 minutes during the night than for a whole hour.
I don't know how I could implement the Dr advice in this situation. I guess if I move lo to her room my DJ will not go in there anymore. Maybe we should try it.
She is mostly pleasant during the day unless she needs a nap and is fighting going down. She doesn't self soothe at all. I confess I use the swing and rides in the car to get her to nap often.
Any other thoughts or advice?
Thank you Dr. DuMond for your courage to try to get her to sleep in her own bed. Both her daddy and I woke up much happier than we have in a long while because we actually got a good nights sleep.

Unemployment Insurance Extension Filibuster Worsens Economic Pain
Altaf Rahamatulla on July 8, 2010 - 1:13pm
The country is still reeling from the effects of the downturn. Though the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has undoubtedly benefited the economy, there are still 15 million Americans out of work.
Unfortunately, due to right-wing obstructionism in the US Senate, Congress was unable to extend unemployment insurance (UI) resulting in 1.7 million Americans losing their benefits on July 3. The Department of Labor released state-by-state breakdowns of Americans who lost UI earlier this month.
Follow this link to view a chart of the Estimated Number of Claimants Losing Unemployment Benefits by July 3, 2010 if Congress Fails to Continue Federal UI Programs.
If Congressional inaction continues, a total of 3.2 million workers will lose their umemployment benefits by the end of July. Furthermore, as the Center for American Progress notes, "[t]he lapse in congressional reauthorization forces 23 states and the District of Columbia to stop distributing extended benefits at a time when additional unemployment insurance benefits are needed most."
Not only are unemployment benefits critical for the long-term unemployed, but federal inaction on UI threatens economic recovery. Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com and former adviser to Senator John McCain, finds that extending unemployment benefits provides a significant fiscal bang for the buck in fueling economic recovery by maintaining consumer spending in hard-hit communities. In fact, every $1 in federal spending on extending UI generates $1.61 in market activity.
As Zandi states, "[t]he odds that the economy will slip back into the recession are still well below even. But if Congress is unable to provide this help, those odds will rise and become uncomfortably high." Congress needs to move swiftly and boldly on enacting further job creation to boost the ailing economy. If you are a state lawmaker, please sign onto a letter calling on the President and Congress to enact a comprehensive jobs plan, including fiscal relief to states and local governments to foster economic growth and create and maintain jobs.

Low pressure as in the warning lights coming on or actual low measured oil pressure, does your car have a pressure guage or just the warning lightsOriginally Posted by audi80sport

sorry for late reply it has the gauge and a warning light...story is when i start it up the usual 1-2 seconds of tappets going nuts then the oil gets to the top and all is smooth...the oil pressure by the gauge is nearly 5 bar but strange thing is as the car warms up the oil pressure goes down accordingly? the oil temp sits at about 1/3 but when the gauge hits zero thats when the oil pressure warning light kicks in as you would expect but the oil pipe coming round and up to the sender unit still feels pressurised? is the sender buggering up or is there actually a problem with the pressure when warm? im stumped...
As the oil heats up it becomes less viscous and flows easier so you would expect the pressure to fall a bit.
My car doesn't have the gauge just the warning light but it has 2 oil pressure switches, the low pressure and the high pressure. i had a problem where the oil pressure light and buzzer would come on and I checked both senders and they both seemed to be fine. i replaced the high but no change, so eventually i bought a manual oil pressure gauge that connects into where the senders are screwed in. Ran the engine and the oil pressures are all with in spec so it most be a problem with the gauges. in the short term i disconnected the buzzer and light and now I check the oil pressure manually everytime i change the oil

On Thursday, Dec 6 at 12:30 p.m., the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States of America Post 9215 will be donating two automobiles to two deserving veterans in need.
"One of them is a handicapped veteran, and will be receiving a van with a wheelchair lift, and the other receipent is a local veteran from Monsey," said Guy Gebbia of VFW Post 9215, Former Commander and Quartermaster. "It was scheduled for prior to Veteran's Day but was rescheduled due to the effects of hurricane Sandy. It is still a wonderful event to honor and show our appreciation to these two veterans and other veterans who served our country."
Zubair Mahaiudin, as well as Roman Johnson, are the recipients of this years gifting of two automobilesby Nanuet Collision Centers, Allstate Insurance, Charity Cars, and the VFW Post 9215. Both served their country in the United States Army.
Mahaiudin is a handicapped veteran whoserved in Afghanistan
"Having a good working vehicle with a wheelchair lift will help me and my family toward a more normal life," He said.
Johnson is from Monsey and has numerous family obligations. Having a vehicle will provide a sense of relief that reliable transportation will not be an obstacle.
Last year, The Upper Nyack VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) selected Thomas Kelly as the veteran to receive the repaired vehicle this year. Kelly is a a partially-disabled Vietnam veteran. Nanuet Collision presented the repaired vehicle to Kelly in a gifting ceremony.
Recycled Rides is a "Green" gifting program that donates a repaired vehicle to a disabled veteran and this is the third year that Nanuet Collision Centers participated.
Recycled Rides is managed by the NABC (National Autobody Council), a non-for-profit organization that works to improve the image of the automotive repair industry. The NABC is composed of insurance companies, vendors, and body shops—each of which take part in Recycled Rides. Insurance companies donate the damaged vehicles that body shops repair, with vendors such as STS Tires donating auto parts.
While Nanuet Collision appreciates any contributions. Money for gas cards or car insurance is most important, with whatever that is left over going to the vehicle's recipient. They also accept auto parts that they'll need to repair their next Recycled Rides vehicle.
"This is a key initiative for auto body shops that we feel is important to our community and veterans," said Kevin Muir President of Nanuet Collision Centers. "Our whole staff is involved, our Team hasbeen great and is excited to be part of another gifting ceremony."
"Together we bring much needed vehicles to two veterans and their families," said Gebbia. "The autos will improve the quality of their lives significantly."
"Our participation in the Recycled Rides program is anextension of Allstate's commitment to local communities," said Allstate's spokesperson Jaclyn Darrohn. "It is an honor for us to be able to providereliable transportation to a local veteran family that needs to get to a job, doctor's appointment or otherplaces they couldn't go without a reliable vehicle."
The recipient of 2010's vehicle was a partially disabled Marine, Daniyel Baron.

Solid outing.Great chicks.Some anal.A little something for every pervert,here.I liked Alyssa West-she has fantastic eyes.(and her jugs ain't bad,either.)Mark Wood does remind me of Ron Howard (before he went bald)though....
Not great,but not awful,either.All fresh faces,no seasoned pros on this one.Only a couple of the chicks look latin,though...There were two pasty white chicks-Sarah,and Charlotte-NO WAY is there any Latin blood in either one of them
I like average looking girls in porn-but there was no real deep throating in this one.A few of the chicks looked bored.I was too.
A good solid dvd.Rodney likes to give a little storyline in his dvds.This one has 5 vignettes (see us perverts -ARE literate).Couple of the scenes feature more than one girl.Nothing really outstanding here,but all the chick here are pretty good and they all get a big,messy 'slop shot' to the kisser.
i liked this one a lot-here's why...first-all fresh faces,always like to watch new talent.secondly,the scenes move along at a good pace-not dragged out-or too fast.ever seen one of those other blowjob movies-the girl sucks,sucks,sucks-15 min.later-the guy squeezes out an eyedropper full of cum,on her face..not in this one-each chick gets blasted-some by 2 cocks-and gets their faces glazed in "nut syrup"..and to their credit (professionalism) they bravely take it all unflinchingly-sometimes even in the eye...this disc is worth a look-but wear eye protection
A real disappointment,since they DO have some hot chicks in this.Unfortunately this disc self-destructs,due to OVER-DROOLING,by the girls.I understand that some saliva is neccesary,in a blowjob-but these chicks looked like glazed doughnuts-from their own drool!Picture a St.Bernard dog eating mayonnaise-you get the idea.One guy looked like a 'high schooler',and another guy couldnt get hard-the chick looked like she was blowing a piece of rope..Pass on this one---unless you LIKE lots of spit........
Pretty good-better that your average BJ film.Couple of the chicks were SO-SO,but there's 2 double team scenes (2 chicks gobbling the same tube-steak).Also I liked Aaliyah-a cute,chatty black chick..a good installment in the series
Not bad,or good,either.Nothing special here-although there WAS a few great splooge shots.Back in the mail,after one run-through,and used the fast forward button a lot.Eager to get the next one from my rental line-up-will most likely be better than this.
First off- the title is misleading.You'd think this was a BJ movie.It's a mish-mosh mess of clips from old porno flicks.True,there are facials here-but a lot of ugly people fucking too.Lots of anal,DPs and condoms too.You'd have to stick your pecker in the freezer to get a stiffy watching this one.Thumbs down !
This was going to be pretty good I thought.Scene 1 was good,with Marquetta Jewel.But it went downhill from there.Next up was a young tattoed guy,with more hardware on his body than a Home Depot.Then we got 3 geezers in a row...yecchhh.The 'pussy pump' novelty really brings nothing to this movie.It was used very sparingly-looked kind of painful,appeared to bruise one of the girls crotch.This was a waste of some hot babes.Pass on this........

Rio Tinto chief Albanese quits after $14bn writedown
by Dylan Lobo on Jan 17, 2013 at 09:28
Rio Tinto chief executive Tom Albanese has left the firm after the company announced a $14 billion (£8.7) billion writedown.
Albanese's position became untenable after the mining giant admitted to major impairments in its Rio Tinto Alcan aluminium business and its Mozambique coal mining arm.
He will be replaced by Sam Walsh, chief executive of the firm's iron ore business, with immediate effect.
Doug Ritchie, who led the acquisition and integration of the Mozambique coal assets in his previous role as Energy chief executive, has also stepped down by mutual agreement.
At 9am Shares in Rio were 2.6% weaker at £33.67 in response to the news.
'We are also deeply disappointed to have to take a further substantial writedown in our aluminium businesses, albeit in an industry that continues to experience significant adverse changes globally.'
Albanese added: 'While I leave the business in good shape in many respects, I fully recognise that accountability for all aspects of the business rests with the CEO. I am pleased that someone of Sam's calibre and values has been chosen to succeed me as chief executive. This is a great company and Sam will do an outstanding job."

What Students Say
Abdulrahman Alturaif from Saudi Arabia
Greetings everyone. I'm Abdulrahman Alturaif and I'm from Saudi Arabia. I'm studying English at the moment and I'm planning to study at the university. I've been studying at the IEI for almost two months. I wasn't nervous about coming because I already had been studying in the States for several months. The shock was when I saw the different weather. As time passed I became adapted to the different weather and I enjoy it now. Furthermore, here you can find your favorite sport like soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Also, there is a gym open 24 hours if you want to work out. The most important thing, and what brought me here is that this program provides a good education. On my first day, I was a little bit nervous but it went away once I met the teachers. Here you have to work hard if you want to succeed. It's not easy but it will be if you work for it. I really enjoy studying at the IEI so far. In a nutshell, I highly recommend anyone that wants to study in the United States to study at this great school.
The IEI is definitely one of the nicest places to learn and practice your English! The teachers are very competent and friendly. They will make you feel easy to express yourself even if your English is as bad as mine was when I first came here. Their competencies really helped me to improve my English skills in just a few months. The IEI provides an efficient program focusing on listening, speaking and writing classes with different classes based on your English level. For my case, I've recently graduated with a Master's degree from the University of Paris and I came here in order to acquire strong English writing and speaking skills in order to be hired by an international company. Finally, I can assure that you won't ever regret your choice choosing the IEI!
(Julien has completed his English language program and has returned home to France)
Ibrahim and Mohammed Alamer from Saudi Arabia
Ibrahim: I chose to study at the IEI UMaine because my friend who lives here recommended it to me. When I first came, I was too shy to talk and participate, but over time, the teachers in IEI helped me overcome that. I enjoy Maine, and Orono offers me the environment for studying because it's a calm city. The weather in Maine is so so freezing in winter but some activities compensate and sweeten the life out here. (Ibrahim is now a UMaine engineering student)
Mohammed: Hi my name is Mohammed Alamer, and I'm from Saudi Arabia. Now at this time I'm studying in the IEI to improve my English to be ready for the university. Here the teachers are trying to make us feel more comfortable with the English language. I chose the University of Maine because some of my friends recommended it to me and some of the companies in my county gives scholarships to this university and it has a very good engineering college. In the future after I finish studying English, my major will be chemical engineering. I chose this major because my country needs many engineering people, and when I graduate I will go back to Saudi Arabia to work there. The people here are so friendly, and the city is small and quiet, the way I like it. Still the weather is the hardest thing here in Maine in the winter, but in summer the weather is so good.
Hi, everyone, my name is Derek (Siqing Zhou). I come from China. I have been in IEI for almost 4 month. I want to say that Orono is a good place for studying, because of environment is very nice. It is a very peaceful and attractive place. The teachers in IEI are very friendly and professional, they will help you to improve your academic English as much as they can. Come, join us !
Annyeonghasyeyo! This is the greeting in Korean for hello in English. I love UMaine, especially the IEI. Here I am able to meet lots of international students because I can learn not only English but also Portuguese, Arabic, French, etc. In my case, the main purpose for coming to the United States was having a trip and taking pictures to create authentic materials to teach elementary school students during my summer vacation, but the more I spent here, the more I felt I needed to improve my English skills. That's why I'm here. Most of all, especially to the Korean students who are eager to be provided with English Immersion classes, I'd like to recommend the University of Maine because there are few Korean students here compared with a big city like Boston or New York. I love Mainers as well as all the IEI teachers. Not only the people in Maine I met were so generous to help me when I made some mistakes, but also the teachers who are teaching me are warm like a family and pretty cool. They never let you be alone. I love Orono's weather, too. In summer, it isn't too hot and there are lots of lakes to go canoeing or swimming. You can spend your summer time very cool in Maine. In winter, it is cold enough to enjoy the snow. DO NOT HESITATE TO CHOOSE THE IEI; JUST DO IT!
(Bo has returned home to South Korea)
My name is Weixi Song, and I am from China. I was sent here by the Department of Education of our province and my home university to study English and to visit the laboratory of UMaine. IEI is a language institute which I never knew before, so I was surprised that I am studying with different ages people who come from different countries. The teachers of IEI are warm and sincere, and they gave me so much help. Orono is a quiet little town which looks like a countryside town of my motherland. People here are very nice, but for me, it is almost silent. Sometimes I feel lonely and frightened. Of course Maine is so beautiful that I think I would not be able to find another place with scenery more attractive than here. In IEI of UMaine, my goal is to improve my listening, oral and writing English, because when I go back to China, I will teach foreign students who speak English from different countries someday.
Ngunte Arsene from Cameroon
My name is Ngunte Arsene and I come from the Republic of Cameroon found in Central Africa. I chose the IEI because my cousin had a good experience here before going to UMaine and graduating as a civil engineer. I never knew about UMaine before my cousin talked about it. Listening to his adventures here I was so excited to come. But I have one bad impression concerning the cold weather because I come from a tropical region where it is warm. But as time passed I became adapted to the atmosphere and weather. Teachers and students here are very welcoming and friendly. UMaine is a good place for me because there are good professors here that help you to achieve your desired goals on what you want to be in the future and it is a quiet place where you can focus your mind. It is a safe place, and friendly. I can find my favorite sports such as soccer, basketball and volleyball. To conclude, I don't regret being here in UMaine, because UMaine is a good place to be.
(Ngunte completed his English language program and now attends UMaine)
Yusei From Japan Hi! I'm Yusei from Japan. I studied at the writing class for four months at IEI. I'm now supposed to take regular classes at the UMaine for three months next year, and what I did in writing class was really helpful to prepare myself for the classes. The teachers teach us how to write academic essays, how to have a good academic presentations and discussion. They also have many fun and interesting activities on Fridays. You can go to the places where you must go in Maine with teachers and other students from various countries. There are a lot of English talking, I mean even when we order something at the restaurants, you will experience a lot of listening and speaking. You can learn English very efficiently without feeling like you are forced to "study" English at IEI. Come and join IEI family! I guarantee you'll have a good time here!
(Yusei completed his English study and is now back at Hirosaki University in Japan)
Ahmed Al Otaibi from Saudi Arabia
I came to study at the University of Maine and began at the IEI. My teachers here are very kind, and I appreciate what they do. My English has improved since I came to the IEI. Also, the university has a strong engineering program, and that's why I transferred here from California. I like life in Orono. It is a small, quite town and is nice and beautiful. The people here are friendly. The weather is beautiful. However, in the winter it is so cold. However, I like it here. I spend my free time playing soccer or going to the gym with my friends. I go skiing in the winter. Life here is different than my home, but I became familiar with this place and my new friends. In the end, my life here will be the best time, and I will remember that when I leave this place. I recommend everyone who reads this to come and see how wonderful life is here!
(Ahmed completed his English program and now attends a university in California)
Dominique Akoa from Cameroon
Hi Everyone. My name is Dominique, and I come from Cameroon in central Africa. I chose the English Institute of UMaine first of all because my sister used to study here and she told me it's a good place to improve my English. My first impression was that this place is so quiet and I didn't like the weather because I come from a warm country. But when I started my classes at the IEI, I saw that the people are really friendly, and the teachers always try to make you feel good. UMaine is also a good place for me because I can practice my favorite sports: soccer, basketball and swimming. Finally, UMaine is a peaceful place where I can study but also have fun.
(Dominique graduated from UMaine and has returned to his home country)
Pedro Arevalo from Colombia
I chose to study at the IEI because I wanted to improve my English and visit my brother, who is a student at UMaine. At the IEI, I have participated in many events, including leading a tour for new IEI students. I like the friendly people at the IEI, the University campus and the different seasons here in Maine. I am glad that I came to Maine. I have met great people and made a lot of friends. I would like to advise new students to bring a warm jacket for the winter, spring and fall. Also, be prepared to meet new friends and learn a lot about American culture.
(Pedro finished his English program and returned to his job in Colombia)
Noor Merdad from Saudi Arabia
I chose to study at the IEI because I want to eventually study at the University of Maine. There are a lot of things to do here. In October, Muslims and their friends gathered in Old Town to celebrate Eid. I like the student conferences at the IEI, practicing for the TOEFL and the elective classes, where students can study what they want.
Jassim Al Saihati from Saudi Arabia
My name is Jassim Alsaihati, and I am from Saudi Arabia. You can see me in the picture. I am in the orange shirt with my best friends from the IEI. I came to the IEI in March 2006, and in the beginning I couldn't understand what the group of IEI teachers meant by saying, " Improve your American English in a fun, safe, small group environment!" I agreed with what they said, but I didn't agree that learning should be fun. It was different from what I used to know about being serious to achieve your goals. I am not a very serious person, and my English was so bad, but when I started studying I totally understood what they meant by fun. It is basically being normal like you are in your family. There is no stress at all, and you learn the language at your own pace. I am now taking some University classes and studying at the IEI part-time. Finally, I really enjoy learning at the IEI and having fun with so many activities and of course wonderful friends from around the world. So improve your academic English now!
(Jassim has graduated from UMaine)

By Tim Graham
Aaron Maybin has been dumped.
The New York Jets released the former Buffalo Bills first-round draft pick this afternoon. Minutes after word broke, Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush, as luck would have it, phoned the Bills media center for a scheduled conference call to preview Thursday night's game here.
Maybin, you may recall, caused a stir by declaring the Jets wanted to knock Bush out of their game last month.
So I asked Bush what he thought of Maybin getting dumped.
"Nothing at all," Bush said. "I have nothing to say about him, nothing negative to say about him. You never want to hear a guy getting cut because this is our livelihood, and this is how we make our money.
"So you never wish that upon anybody. But I have nothing negative to say about the guy, and hopefully he gets another shot to get back in this league."
I mentioned to Bush you're never supposed to wish injury upon a player either.
"You're not supposed to," Bush said with a laugh. "But I guess that's what they kind of did."

From Openwaterpedia
Lānaʻi or Lanai is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also known as the Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation and start of the Maui Channel Swim. The only town is Lānaʻi City, a small settlement. The island is somewhat comma-shaped, with a width of 18 miles (29 km) in the longest direction. The land area is 140.5 square miles (364 km2), making it the 42nd largest island in the United States. It is separated from the island of Molokaʻi by the Kalohi Channel to the north, and from Maui by the Auʻau Channel to the east. There are no traffic lights on the entire island.

Birmingham - Machu Picchu
I may have had the most tender goat I've ever tasted during lunch today at Machu Picchu, the recently opened Peruvian restaurant on Valley Avenue (700 Valley Avenue, in the plaza with Great Wall and Taqueria La Reyna).
The Cabrito ala Nortena ($6.50 lunch, $10 dinner) is a filling dish. The goat stew, with a rich gravy, was served on top of creamy white beans. Alongside was a mound of steamed white rice, with sliced purple onion and tomato added as condiments. The goat meat was flavorful but not at all gamy.
I also tried the chicharron de calamar ($8.50), a generous platter of house-made fried calamari served with a very nice green dipping sauce and what seemed to be a form of tartar sauce.
The woman working the front of the house said the restaurant specializes in cebiche ($10-$12.95). The menu includes several combinations of fish, shrimp and other seafood marinated in lemon and chile. She also recommended trying the Tacu Tacu con Lomo Saltado($9.95), sauteed beef loin with rice and beans.
The food will be familiar, yet exotic. It also reflects the influence that immigrants from Japan and Italy have had on Peruvian cuisine.
You'll find steak dishes, grilled chicken dishes, spaghetti dishes (including fettucini Alfredo), fried-rice dishes, stews, fried fish -- all with a Pervian twist.
Meals start both with tortilla chips and (a very tasty) salsa, and a bowl of fried banana chips and fried corn.
The sell beer, wine and mixed drinks. Friday through Sunday night, the restaurant turns into a nightclub, with dancing under a spinning ball, I'm told.
The ambience is nothing special, lots of llama images and a cool mural depicting the ruins at Machu Picchu. Vegetarians won't find much to enjoy on the menu (unless those white beans are vegetarian).
Can't wait to try the cebiche and the estofado de albondigas, meatball stew.
Thanks, BD, for that review. Been needing a place that could serve up some good cabrito. Will definitely check it out.
The cabrito in the green sauce was awesome and so were those peruvian beans. Chips and salsa, including plaintain chips were very good too. Very nice staff. I was the only one in there on a Monday night.
