Once again, it wasn't the night the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' offence was looking for. But there may have been one silver lining in the team's 25-22 loss to the Toronto Argonauts on Wednesday - the ground game.
In a year of breakout running backs, former Indianapolis Colt and Washington Redskin Chad Simpson may be the next big one. But Simpson said he isn't looking to be just the next Kory Sheets or Chevon Walker.
"I'm trying to be Chad Simpson," he said after the the game. "I don't want to be those guys; I'm a totally different guy. I want to bring Chad Simpson to the CFL."
Simpson had to convince head coach Paul LaPolice he was sufficiently recovered from a leg injury and ready to go prior to the game. And LaPolice voiced his praise for him after the game, calling the first-year player a talented back. Simpson rushed for 91 yards on 15 carries while adding 31 receiving yards. The 26-year-old also opened up the passing game for Winnipeg with Toronto's defence keying on him more. And while his stats were impressive, Simpson graded his game solely on the team's final result.
"I was brought here to win," he said. "That's why I came, to help the team. It's about winning and we didn't do that so my performance wasn't good enough."
Simpson set the single-season rushing record at Morgan State with 1,402 yards before signing with the Colts in 2008. In 25 games over two seasons with Indianapolis, the Miami native rushed for 147 yards and three touchdowns. He also played three games with the Redskins in 2010 returning kicks prior to signing with the Bombers this off-season.
Wednesday was Simpson's first game of the season after missing the first three with an unspecified leg injury. He said there were both positives and negatives to the long layoff – he had much fresher legs than most of his teammates coming off a short week, but also had trouble jumping right into a full workload after the layoff. The Bombers held him out for some offensive series' in the second half, but Simpson said it was nothing serious.
"I'm good - I was cramped up a bit," he explained. "Being out for three weeks then getting fed like that."
"(It was because of) cramping, and not being used to all the carries in a while."
Simpson said moving forward, he is ready to contribute on a regular basis and still thinks the Bombers have time to right the ship.
"Losing four games is not good," said Simpson. "We're going to pull it together; I saw progress, and that's the most important thing. And it's not too late; we're still chasing that Grey Cup."

If you have Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate, as well as a compatible TV tuner device, you can use Windows Media Center to watch and record live TV on your computer. Here are answers to some common questions about managing TV shows that you record in Windows Media Center.
On the start screen, scroll to Tasks, click settings, click TV, click Recorder, and then click Recorder Storage.
Under Record on drive, click the - or + button to select the drive that you want to record to. The available disk space on the drive you select will appear below.
You can record TV shows and movies to multiple hard disk partitions on the same computer, or directly to an external drive. If only one hard disk is available, the - and + buttons under Record on drive will be unavailable.
Under Maximum TV limit, click the - or + button to change the amount of disk space you want to allocate to recorded TV shows and movies. The disk space range depends on the size of the hard disk or partition that you select under Record on drive.
Under Recording quality, click the - or + button to change the default quality setting at which all future recordings will record. The quality setting affects the total recording time available on the selected disk drive. For example, if you select Best quality on a disk drive that has a maximum TV limit of 60 gigabytes (GB), you can record about 22 hours of TV, whereas Good quality allows you to record about 42 hours of TV.
Maintaining free hard disk space is important if you want to record new TV programs. Deleting old recordings ensures that there will always be enough disk space available.
On the start screen, scroll to Tasks, click settings, click TV, click Recorder, and then click Recording Defaults.
Under Keep, click the - or + button to select an option:
Until space needed
For 1 week
Until I watch
Until I delete
Click Save.
On the start screen, scroll to TV + Movies, and then click recorded tv.
Click the show you want to delete.
On the Program Info screen, click Delete.
Click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the recorded show.
On the Program Info screen for a specific show, you can override many of the recording default settings, including how long you want to keep a program.
It might be because the hard disk space selected in Recorder Storage is full. Windows Media Center will not automatically delete recorded programs to create available disk space unless you select Until space needed in the recording defaults, or from a show's Program Info screen. You might need to manually delete some recorded content to create some free disk space for new shows.
If there is no available hard disk space, Windows Media Center will look for recorded programs that have the setting Until space needed, and delete them to make room for new recordings. If no recording is set to be deleted, the new scheduled show will not be recorded. To prevent this from happening, try adjusting the settings under Recording Defaults, such as the amount of time you want to keep a recorded program, the length of recording time before and after a scheduled broadcast, or the default quality for future recordings. Also, you can store recorded TV programs on an external hard drive if you need more space.
Click the - or + buttons to adjust one or all of the settings.
To find out how many hours of recorded TV content can fit on your computer, do the following:
Under Record on drive, click the - or + button to select a drive. Windows Media Center automatically displays available storage in both gigabytes (GB) and recording time available. For example, on drive C, Windows Media Center shows 100 GB, which is more than 70 hours of available recording time.
To find out how to create available disk space for a series broadcast, see "What happens to programs that are recorded as part of a TV series?" later in this topic.
It depends on the settings in Recording Defaults, or on a specific recording's Program Info screen. If you select Until I delete, for example, the recording will be kept until you manually delete it.
It depends on the settings in Recording Defaults or the series info screen of a specific series. If you select Until space needed, for example, Windows Media Center will automatically delete older recordings of the same series when your hard disk space gets full.
On the start screen, scroll to TV + Movies, click recorded tv, and then click view scheduled.
Click Series.
Click the series name in the list on the right.
Click Series Settings.
Under Keep, select a setting.
In the list on the right, click the series that you want to stop recording.
Click Cancel Series.
Click Yes to confirm that you want to cancel recording the series.
You can change the default settings for future recordings on the Recording Defaults screen.
Under Keep, click the - or + button to adjust settings. Scroll through the options and select how long you want each recorded show to remain on your computer.
For more information about the various options, see Record TV in Windows Media Center.
The image quality of the recording determines not only how a program will look, but how much space it will use on your hard disk. For example, the Best quality option records TV with the clearest and most detailed image, but it also creates the largest file size and leaves less space for other recordings.
Under Quality, click the - or + button to select the desired image quality: Fair, Good, Better, or Best.
High-definition TV programs in Windows Media Center can only be recorded at the highest quality settings in order to retain the picture and audio quality. Therefore, the file size of a high-definition show is larger than the file size of a standard-definition show at Best quality. For more information about recording high-definition content in Windows Media Center, see TV on your computer: Understanding TV signals and TV tuners.
Under Preferred Audio Language, click the - or + button to select either English or Any language.
To prevent unauthorized distribution, some digital media files are protected with media usage rights. The rights specify how you can use the file—for example, whether you can sync the file to a portable device or play it on another computer. The terms of the rights are specified by the person or company that provided the file or the TV broadcaster that provided the content. Windows Media Center cannot play protected files unless you download rights for that content.
There are different ways to acquire media usage rights, but the most common way is to download them from content providers (such as record companies). The content provider might issue rights when you download the file. Otherwise, when you play a file that you do not have the rights for, Windows Media Center attempts to acquire them automatically or prompts you to acquire them.
Additionally, some TV content might be marked as protected by the TV content owner, broadcaster, or originator. The terms of the content protection are specified by the content provider and transmitted with the TV show. If you record the show, the content protection terms are stored with the recorded TV file and enforced upon playback.
Some shows or portions of a recorded show might be restricted to play on the Windows Media Center that they were recorded on. If you attempt to play the recorded TV file on another computer, you are notified that it is restricted content and you cannot play it.
In addition, some protected media files or portions of files might have media usage rights that expire after a specified amount of time. If you try to access the media file after the rights expire, you are notified that the media file is no longer available. To play some protected content, you might need to adjust your display settings or connection types. For more information, see Troubleshoot problems with playing DVDs and movies or contact your hardware manufacturer.
An analog or digital TV tuner is required to play and record live TV in Windows Media Center. If your computer did not come with a TV tuner card, you might be able to add one. For information about obtaining a TV tuner card, see Get help for your TV tuner card or contact your computer manufacturer.

New estimates indicate that Lyme disease is 10 times more common than previous national counts showed, the federal government announced Monday, with about 300,000 people getting the disease each year — most in the Northeast.
The updated total, compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on data from health insurance claims, laboratories, and public surveys. Past estimates of 30,000 cases a year relied on physicians' reports to states, and the illnesses were widely considered underreported.

Difference Between Mormons and Christians
Mormons vs Christians
Mormons and Christians both believe in Jesus Christ. Though Mormons consider themselves to be Christians, they are not considered so by the Protestant and Catholic Christians. Both the Mormons and Christians share many things in common but there are also many differences between the two groups.
Mormons, as a religious group, were formed by Joseph Smith, who is regarded to have restored the church. It was in the 1820s that Mormonism developed. Official name of the Mormon church is " The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".
Regarding the differences between Mormons and Christians, the former sect believes in the Book of Mormon, otherwise known as the Mormon bible as well as the Holy Bible; The Pearl of great Price, and Covenants and Doctrines. Christians believe in the Holy Bible.
Regarding their belief in God, the Mormons believe in a heavenly father who has a physical body. On the other hand, Christians believe in Trinitarian God, who has no physical body. For the Christians, they have one god, the Trinity with Jesus as Messiah. Christians also believe in salvation. Mormons do not believe in the Trinity or one God. But they have three Gods - The Father, Son and Holy Ghost. All the three are distinct from each other in all ways.
For the Christians, Jesus is believed to have been born to the Virgin Mary, whereas Mormons believe that Jesus had a natural birth and was born of a Heavenly Father and of Mary.
In terms of Sin, the Mormons believe that all men are accountable for their own sins and all mankind will be resurrected and saved at the last day. For Christians, sin is horrific as it dishonours God. They believe that sin is treason against God and the Holy Spirit.
When compared to Christians, the Mormons lead a disciplined life. The Mormons are against the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee and other addictive substances.
- Mormons as a religious group were formed by Joseph Smith, who is regarded to have restored the church. It was in 1820s that Mormonism was founded.
- Mormons believes in the Book of Mormon or the Mormon bible, they  also have The Pearl of great Price and Covenants and Doctrines. Christians believe in the Holy Bible.
- For Christians, Jesus is believed to have been born to the Virgin Mary, Â whereas Mormons believe that Jesus had a natural birth.
- The Mormons believe in a heavenly father, who has a physical body. On the other hand, Christians believe in a Trinitarian God, who has no physical body.
- For Christians, there is one God – the Trinity, with Jesus as messiah. Mormons do not believe in the Trinity or one God, instead they have three Gods  - the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Sorry I called this blog strange. It looked like my message was deleted. Then I saw it under moderation again and finally posted. Mormonism does attack the Christian Church then run and hide when one thunders on their whitewash. They are so unworthy of any honor.
They call Jesus Satan's brother. They call God flesh. They call Christians an abomination to their man-made god. They rejoice when Satan say's they will become God's and believe him then reject God's word who say's,
•Exodus 20:2-3: "I am the Lord your God…. You shall have no other gods before me."
•Exodus 34:14: "Do not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God."
•Deuteronomy 4:35: "You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other."
•Deuteronomy 4:39: "Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other."
•Deuteronomy 6:4-5: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
•Deuteronomy 32:39: "See now that I myself am He! There is no god besides me.
I thought a different voice might be helpful here.
What most people are overlooking, is the fact that religion (throughout history and at the present time) causes more harm than good. The bible is full of stories, written by human men, thousands of years ago. Anyone can say that God told them to say something or do something. What's important is what you yourself say and do. And religion tends to take away from our personal responsibilities and puts them on something intangible.
When you look at the history of human beings… these beliefs make perfect sense. Humans lived in a world without basic understanding of the world around them. These stories, now called sacred and holy texts, were a way for us to make some sense of what we saw and felt. This is what humans do, we're problem solvers by nature. We do our best to make sense of the world around us with the tools that we have.
All of the worlds religions have their own stories and many of them even borrow from one another. These stories were important, because they laid a foundation for more civil societies. Now.. that being said… Jesus, whether or not he actually existed as one man at the time mentioned, taught many things that are still very useful and relevant to this day. It's too bad that the Christian religion doesn't focus more on his teachings. Living the way Jesus taught people to live would make for a much more beautiful and peaceful world. One of the most powerful things Jesus ever said was "I am the way". If people really tried to live like Jesus, then think of how differently they would be living than how they actually are.
This is the most important thing that the Christian religion gave us. The teaching of peace and love toward all. And this brings me to another important fact… that of Jesus and The Buddha as very similar teachers. If you look at their direct teachings next to each other, you begin to see that they had more in common than usually mentioned. The main difference being that The Buddha never claimed to be divine. This is what makes Buddhism a practice, and Christianity a religion. I won't refer to Buddhism as a religion. It was never meant to be one. And who's to say Christianity was meant to be one either? We have many years, translations, and a lot of politics between us and the original purpose of Jesus' teachings.
I'm not against learning from the religions of the world… I'm all for learning. But blind faith in anything isn't sane, and it isn't healthy.
Be a light unto yourself.
You said that blind faith in anything is insane? So then, the last time you sat down on a chair, how did you know it was going to hold you without buckling under you? (Blind faith) the bible was written by holy men of God as they were taught by The Holy Spirit. The bible is infallible. There are no errors in it unless it is man reading it! Judge the scriptures by other scriptures to see if you have read it correctly! It takes more faith to believe God is not listening to every word you speak, and you will be judged at the appointed time for your sins than it does to trust Jesus died in my place on the cross and rose on the 3rd day and is now in heaven waiting for the appointed time to reveal all to every man. God is everywhere at the same time, He knows every thought you ever had or will ever have, He know the motives behind your thoughts. God tells us in the bible, all have sinned and fall short of Gods Holy standard of righteousness. He also tells us the penalty of sin is death (eternal death)! That's the bad news…the good news is Christ paid the penalty for the sins of those that will trust Him. Not by works of righteousness (nothing we do!) the sins of believers have been paid in full! Past, present and future! Praise His Holy Name. All he ask us to do is trust Him! Trust, and will be born again! The Holy Spirit will take up residence inside you, leading a new man to everlasting! Don't trust and upon drawing your last breath you will spend eternity ih hell. ( eternal separation from God! Keep reading the bible and according to Gods Word those in hell are not enjoying beer, hanging with their buddy's and satan is not in charge! It is a place the bible describes to be constant weeping and knashing of you teeth.. You Jason have blasphemed my Ho,y Lord by claiming lies about His truth.
Humanly speaking, the Bible was written by approximately 40 men of diverse backgrounds over the course of 1500 years. Despite being penned by different authors over 15 centuries, the Bible does not contradict itself and does not contain any errors. The authors all present different perspectives, but they all proclaim the same one true God, and the same one way of salvation—Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12) Man today finds on the internet Bible verses rearranged out of context to believe their own lies to honor man rather than God.
Mormon's and Jehovah Witnesses are emenies to the Word of God by distorting His Word hiding the real God and Jesus behind their false man-made Jesus and God. I call these deceivers (Static… ) that God's Word warned us that would be here today and they surely are. The Bible is from God who is a small still voice that cults thunder with static to drown Him out to replace Him by their own version that deny's the true bibical God of the Bible.
There were over 360 prophecies foretold about the coming Jewish Messiah – hundreds of years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Jesus fulfilled all 365 of these prophecies. Now look at the static of Mormon's and Jehovah Witnesses prophecies. They failed and are proven liars. They make alotta noise to drown truth and the is choice is ours to believe in what man has done or in what Jesus has done on the cross.
Ultimately, above the human authors, the Bible was written by God. 2nd Tim 3:16 tells us that the Bible was "breathed out" by God. God superintended the human authors of the Bible so that, while using their own writing styles and personalities, they still recorded exactly what God intended. The Bible was not dictated by God, but it was perfectly guided and entirely inspired by Him.
Be a light unto yourself? Are you a lover of yourself as God's Word proclaim that we will see in today's times? The true Bibical Jesus is the light of the world. (John 8:12) There seemeth a way right unto man, but at the end thereof are the way of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
There are a lot of comments here from people trying to convince you one way or the other as to which is right.
This article does get a lot right, but not everything.
However, I believe the question was what is the difference between Mormons and Christians, not which was right.
But you know what?
You want to know what a Catholic believes? Ask a Catholic.
You want to know what a Baptist believes? Ask a Baptist.
You want to know what a Mormon believes? Ask a Mormon.
You want to know which is right? Ask God. (James 1:5)
If you really want to know, ask the person who can give you the most correct answer. Don't follow because someone told you so. Follow what GOD told YOU.
I'm sure there will be rebuttals to this comment. You're entitled to believe what you want. I'll believe what I want because I believe God has told me what I should do. No vision, no angels, but he HAS answered my question in prayer.
Don't believe me? Try it for yourself.
If you really want to know, he'll tell you.
As a "Mormon", I just thought you should know your articles is riddle with inaccuracies regarding the "Mormon" beliefs. First of all, the correct name of the church is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints". If you are going to quote it, quote it right.
It's not called the Mormon Bible. Nobody in the church calls it that. If you are going to say we believe in something name it correctly. The only way we address The Book of Mormon is as The Book of Mormon. Also, it's called "Doctrine and Covenants", not Covenants and Doctrine.
I also find it strange that you say Christians. As though every Christian sect believes the same thing. Not every Christian sect believe in the Trinitarian God. Some believe they are 3 distinct beings, and they have a physical state of being, just like the Mormons. It seems that most of these "Christian" beliefs you are describing are based solely off what Catholics believe. Perhaps you should re-title article "The difference between Mormons and Catholics".
Mormons believe in Salvation, just like Christians. As to the 3 Gods statement. We believe in one supreme God, what you mentioned as Heavenly Father. He is God, but Christ, and the Holy Ghost serve in a unified Godhead with him. Like a President has a Vice President, and Secretary. The all work together unified as one in purpose, but we do not worship them individually. We worship God, our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, our Savior. He speaks to us through the Holy Ghost.
We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the virgin Mary. I'm not sure what you mean by natural birth. What is a unnatural birth? Or did you mean conception? We believe that our Heaven Father had a part in how Mary became pregnant, but the details are unknown, since the Bible doesn't reveal the manner in which the transition took place.
We believe exactly what you said about Mormons regarding responsibility for sin, but we also believe sin is horrific as it dishonours God. They believe that sin is treason against God. We believe everyone will be resurrected and have to face God for a judgment, but not everyone will be saved. Only those who are righteous and follow God. Not even all Mormons will be saved, which is another misconception. Just being a religion doesn't save a person. It all depends on what kind of relationship the have with God.
I have no idea where you got all your information for your article, but perhaps you should have gone to LDS.org to get the correct information. As one commenter mentioned, if you want to know about Mormons, ask as Mormon, or visit their website to find out what their beliefs are. And quote them correctly, don't interpret it to what you think we believe.

What are blood tests for the diagnosis of liver disease?
Comment on this
Damage to the liver often gives rise to telltale abnormalities in certain blood tests (suggesting liver disease), the so-called liver blood tests (for example, ALT, AST, and alkaline phosphatase enzymes). The liver blood tests often are collectively referred to as liver function tests. But, abnormalities in only some of them (i.e., elevated bilirubin, low albumin, and prolonged prothrombin time) actually reflect, at least in part, abnormal function of the liver. And, it turns out that abnormalities of the other liver blood tests may reflect the actual injury to the liver. For example, viral hepatitis can cause the ALT or AST enzymes in injured liver cells to spill into the blood stream and increase their level in the blood.
Sometimes, the pattern of liver blood test abnormalities provides a clue as to the type of liver disease. For example, an AST to ALT ratio greater than two (as long as both are less than nine times normal) suggests alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis of any type.
Other blood tests are more specific for the diagnosis of particular liver diseases. For example, there are antibody tests for most of the different types of viral hepatitis and immunological tests for primary biliary cirrhosis (antimitochondrial antibodies) or chronic autoimmune hepatitis (smooth muscle antibody). Additionally, there are special tests for hemochromatosis (iron-related tests), Wilson's disease (copper-related tests), and liver cancer (tumor markers).

Land Rover LR3 broadens its line-up in 2006 with the addition of a V6 engine, giving consumers a greater level of trim choices for the award winning SUV. Additionally, the highly popular third row seating option is now standard on all HSE models. Since its introduction last year, LR3's powerful on-road performance, unparalleled off-road standards, and state-of-the-art technologies have set a new industry standard. Already, LR3 has become the most decorated SUV of 2005, capturing more than 20 U.S. awards.
In addition to the existing 4.4-liter 300 bhp V8 engine, LR3 offers the new 4.0-liter 216 bhp V6 engine. All V6 models come equipped with a long list of four-wheel drive technologies including the innovative Terrain Response™ system, and four-corner electronic air suspension.
- 4.4-liter 300 bhp V8 engine; 4.0-liter V6 engine producing 216 bhp
- Permanent four-wheel drive system
- Terrain Response™ system
- Four-corner independent, height-adjustable electronic air suspension
- Electronically controlled infinitely variable locking center differential
- Six-speed electronically controlled, intelligent automatic transmission with CommandShift™
- 550-watt harman/kardon ® LOGIC7™ audio system with 14 speakers on the V8 HSE
The chassis features an Integrated Body-frame™ which allows Land Rover to deliver the comfort, refinement and on-road attributes of a monocoque, while continuing to set new standards in off-road performance. The combination of a tough frame mated to a rigid body structure provides occupants with a secure zone in the event of a collision. The complex design of the chassis frame, with its hydroformed construction, reflects this work in its contribution to the safety and crash performance characteristics of the LR3. Key chassis features include:
- Isolated monocoque body – part of Land Rover's developed Integrated Body-frame™ architecture
- Double-sided, zinc-coated steel outer-body panels
- Advanced use of latest hydroforming technology using aluminum and Boron steel
- Five or seven passenger configurations
- Interior seating flexibility allows for a completely flat load space over six feet long
- Combined loadspace cover and parcel shelf roller blind
- Stadium seating has each row higher than the one in front for visibility
- Two-piece aluminum tailgate
- High speed electrical architecture including MOST ® (Media Orientated System Transport) network
- 4.0-liter, alloy V6 develops 216 bhp at 4,500 rpm and 269 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm
- 4.4-liter, alloy V8 develops 300 bhp at 5,500 rpm and 315 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm
As with the current V8, the V6 engine is mated to a six-speed 'intelligent shift' electronically controlled ZF automatic transmission. Its 'sport' mode delivers more performance-oriented throttle response and gear shifts, and features Land Rover's CommandShift™ operation – giving the driver full manual control of gear changing. All LR3's come with a two-speed electronic transfer gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive with traction control.
Land Rover's sophisticated Terrain Response™ system comes standard on LR3 vehicles. This technology improves driver control and maximizes traction over a variety of surfaces, especially off-road. By selecting one of the five terrain programs, Terrain Response™ automatically selects
the most appropriate settings for the vehicle's advanced electronic controls and traction aids – including ride height, engine torque response, hill descent control, electronic traction control and transmission setting. The five programs are for general driving, grass/gravel/snow, mud/ruts, sand and rock crawl.Key powertrain features include:
- Permanent four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer gearbox
- Terrain Response™ dynamic systems control
- Electronically locking center and optional rear axle differentials
- Six-speed electronically controlled, intelligent automatic transmission with CommandShift™
The V6 and SE models are fitted with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, while the HSE models come standard with 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels.
- 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels
- 255/60HR18 mud & snow radial tires
- 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels
- 255/55HR19 mud & snow radial tires
LR3 is equipped with four-corner independent, height-adjustable electronic air suspension, giving it great driver feedback and a comfortable ride. It is fit with automatic load-leveling and multiple modes, including access, standard and off-road. The computer-controlled air springs allow for automatically softer or firmer springing, depending on road or track conditions. They are also cross-linked, further aiding off-road capability. Tires are specially developed for Land Rover requirements, and suitable for on- or off-road use. Key suspension features include:
- Electronic air suspension with automatic load-leveling and multiple modes
- Height adjustable, cross-linked air suspension for improved off-road performance
- Four-wheel independent, double wishbones front and rear
- Rack-and-pinion steering
The design of the chassis was evolved with safety in mind. The strong Integrated Body-frame™ architecture of the LR3, with its hydroformed construction, offers protection in case of impacts, and door-mounted anti-intrusion side-beams offer further protection. The front structure of the frame is designed to provide the collision load path with buckle points to control its collapse in the event of an impact. The load path is deliberately designed to take into account differential crash performance.
LR3 has extremely powerful four-wheel disc brakes and ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and emergency brake assist (EBA) to provide an automatic extra boost when a panic stop is detected. LR3 is equipped with eight airbags on seven-seat vehicles and six on five-seat models. The driver and passenger airbags deploy in two stages depending on the severity of the frontal impact. The side impact protection system has a combination of seat-mounted thorax airbags for the front seat occupants and side curtain airbags for outboard occupants for all rows. Key safety and security features include:
- Rigid steel safety-cage construction
- Command driving position for optimal visibility

- Dynamic stability control (DSC) to maintain directional control
- Hill descent control (HDC) for slow, sure movement down steep inclines
- Terrain Response™ matches vehicle dynamic systems to terrain
- Four-wheel electronic traction control (4ETC)
- Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD)
- Driver and front passenger seats have weight and safety belt tension sensors
- Six airbags for five seat configurations; eight airbags for seven seat configurations
- Side impact protection from seat-mounted thorax airbags for the front seat as well as downward deploying curtains for outboard occupants of the first two rows of seats and adjacent to the third row of seats if equipped
- Three-point safety belts for all seating positions – driver and front passenger belts have pre-tensioners
- Advanced lighting technology to see and be seen
- Mid-mounted fuel tank
- LATCH (Lower Anchor and Tether for Children) system for child seat attachment
- Collision-activated inertia switch (unlocks doors, turns off fuel pump and activates hazard warning lights)
- Rear fog lamps
- Vehicle security system with engine immobilization feature
- Keyless entry. Central locking of all doors
- Child locks for rear doors
- Deep-tinted glass

Economic Activity
A Mixed Message on Manufacturing
The recent data on manufacturing paint a mixed picture of the health of the sector. The industrial production index for manufacturing in January fell by 0.7 percent, reflecting weakness across a broad range of industries but with a particularly steep drop in the motor vehicle sector (-6.0 percent). On a year-over-year basis, industrial production in manufacturing expanded by 1.8 percent, whereas the motor vehicle sector declined by 7.6 percent.
The advanced report on durable goods showed a marked decline in new orders in January (-7.8 percent), but shipments held steady. Two-thirds of the decline in new orders is accounted for by a steep drop in nondefense aircraft orders (-60.3 percent)—a particularly volatile component of the new orders series. These data also show a relatively weak performance in the motor vehicle sector, with declines in shipments and orders in January of 4.4 percent and 5.1 percent, respectively.
On the positive side, the ISM report on February manufacturing activity offers some encouragement. The ISM composite index for manufacturing registered a rebound in February to 52.3, indicating an improvement from January's reading of 49.3. The ISM uses a diffusion index, and a level above 50 indicates that the sector is expanding, while a value below 50 indicates contraction. Both the new orders and production components of the index increased as well in February.
The bottom line is that manufacturing activity was clearly soft in January, and there is conflicting information regarding the future path of manufacturing—the ISM report offers some positive news, but the new orders information from the durable goods report suggests some weakness going forward.

Did hemingway just quit or something? None of the cool4free sites are on it, ocx isnt on it, kinda sucks now
yeah qt kinda sucks nowit hasen't been updated in a while and
its mostly full of scammers, because they do nothing about it :x

Does referralswapper have as many scammers as gearliveqt?
Ref. swapper has no scammers because they actually update their database with new sites and ####.
referralswapper puts QT to shame…...and thats a bummer cause QT could have been so much better if it was managed properly and had frequent supervision and updating
hemingway said he had a family problem and has never updated his site.
he simply does not care. i guess $7000+ was enough money for him.
i want a refund!!!
i am truly dissapointed in quicktrade
agreed…. refswapper is waaay bettter.
Referalswapper will get rid of scammers, unlike QT. I LOVE IT!!! Sign up NOW and spread the word…
Hemingway has a VERY serious family situation going on right now. Believe me, he had/has high hopes for QuickTrade - he just honestly doesnt have the time (or possibly the energy) to devote to it. Some things really are more important.
Gear Live Media Network:
Gadgets, Games, Television, Sports, Food, Social Media, Seattle Mind Camp, Andru, Apps
true but even when he was around and RS first came out, RS was still better…
he was not around when Referral Swapper came out. The problems started well before then.
That sucks and I hope everything works out for him. QT was going downhill even before that, sorry to say…
i signed up to quicktrade when it was going downhill :cry:
i didnt take any money and run.
i still go through all the QT emails and get back to them as fast as possible.
the site still works as its supposed to as well.
as for issues like scammers, referal swapper, etc. you have to understand the differences. we have almost 1200 users on QT. referal swapper has nowhere near that, not even a 1/4. with more users, you have more "bad eggs". i expected this to happen which is why from day 1 i put in the karma/feedback portion of the site.
being a 3rd party, there is no way to for sure know who is "telling the truth" in a "scam". if any of you were in my shoes and saw the emails i got, you'd even half understand. as i've always said, report it in karma and feedback, and its someone is getting constant negative reviews from people, i remove them from the system (and have many times).
as for updating what sites get listed. at first when i put up any site, some sites started to scam people. and i would be bombarded with emails and complaints on how i could be affiliated with sites like that. so i started a policy where only legitimate sites could be listed (oc, gratis, cooperbrothers, independants that proved themself, etc) for the safety of our users. now people complain about that.
everything is a double edge sword.
what it comes down to is this. at 1200 users, and couple dozen on gearlive boards complaining, you're in the minority and have chosen to associate yourself with people who love to "scam". and for what its worth, the vast majority of those reported for scamming of from these boards. everyone else (the other 1000+ users) are still using the site to its full advanatge and getting all the gifts they want/need. it caught on like brushfire on yahoo mailing lists, mom discussion groups, etc, and they all still trade with one another in a honorable fashion.
best of luck going to referralswapper, its the same people from here going there, so you know what youre in for in a month or two down the road.
as for everyone whos received even 1 thing (hell, even 1 ref) via quicktrade, you shoudl still be thankful for the system. its been of benefit to you, and considering i still get 35+ thank you emails a day for people receving their $300, free tv, free psp, whatever, i know it still works if you aren't being a baby about it.
and andru - thank you as always for your tact and classy way of responding to things, you're a great guy.
OK, this is the last thing I'll say about this….
You wanted new sites to pay you money to be added, how does that prove that they are legit? When a site that is legit, like a new FreeSuper LLC, site opens I emailed and PM'd you like 10 times and you never responded and FillMyCloset is still not on the list and I already got my $250 giftcard. The thing about you gettting rid of scammers is pretty bad too. Earlynovember6th was on for a long time after many many people had told you that he was ripping people off. There were people that had -7 and were still trading. That just sucks b/c if you don't go to that really hard to see link to check karma, you are screwed.
With ReferralSwapper if you want a side added its usually added within 12 hours if not right away depending on when you ask. New sites have ALWAYS been buyer beware. If you aren't sure its legit, don't do it. For the people trying to prove its legit, we need a place to trade. If someone is a scammer they are gone, period. Really referralswapper is just a lot better place to trade. QT was great but better places came along…
yea i wish i had my emails answered . so how is refstop and refswap. I'd rather sign up to another site. Gearliveqt isnt active anymore also u could have a filter button because some ppl on there dont even trade anymore. :?
kinda sucks, b/c i have 7/7 good karma on QT :(
Well, for only $7 bux with all the free stuff i have gotten it well paid for itself. No complaints here. Sure it could use an update but family is more important. I am still waiting for a "special" board so us QT members can post and talk about refs and swapping.
Doesnt ref swap have 800+ members now? Thats more than 1/4 of 1200
All things aside, Rep Swap is a better system…

Product DescriptionCross-country thrills for those beyond "entry-level." High-quality materials in the SRAM 7.0™ group ensure precise shifting for grueling rides. Now braking is easier with a new fully-mechanical brake system. New for 2002 is the Amy grip cover, designed for better comfort and compatibility for small-diameter hands.

Weaknesses: So far none.
Bottom Line:

Duration Product Used: 1 Year
Similar Products Used: Shimano STX and past SRAM shifter and derailleur
Date Reviewed: April 21, 2003
Strengths: Cheap, precise shifting, fairly light, ESP system, Gripshift
Weaknesses: pulleywheels wear quickly and You can only use SRAM pulleys
Bottom Line:
I dont have much experience with shimano, but I think I know what shifting is about, and that is when you want to shift gears the system is supposed to shift. And this is excatly what the SRAM 7.0 system does.
The "difficulty" in shifting is nice when you run gripshift. I have halfpipes and I dont like shifting gears unless I want to, with the 7.0 gripshifters You simply turn the grip, and You hear a "KLACK" and then you are in the desired gear. And unless you have really weak wrists, or cables full of cement, this is not a problem at all.
If You want gripshift buy SRAM, if You want rapidfire, buy ShimaNO.
The ESP system works really great, the amount of cable you pull, is the amount the rear shifter uses to shift one gear. Really no-nonsense design.

I replaced this piece of junk with a short cage Shimano XT derailleur w/stx shifters. Problem solved. Smooth now that this 7.0 crap is off.

I was at the Great British Beer Festival this weekend, but as it was Saturday and the final day of the festival, all the good British beers had already been finished, and the scene was mostly a series of clogged clumps of redfaced people bumping and jostling in front of any outlet pouring anything.
At that point I decided (with my German girlfriend) to visit the Foreign Beer table, where I managed to suck down a Rausch Weisse (smoked wheat) beer, which was a genre I had not heard of before.
The aroma was quite pungent as soon as it was poured (so much so I thought surely I was standing next to one of the grill stands) and it only got smokier and more cheap butcher-y in the mouth. I guess this wasn't one of the best examples of the style (although I forget the producer, so...) but I was wondering if the style is one that is generally respected? And if so, at what point does something (what exactly?) get smoked?

For a man who loves little more than being on the practice court with his team, Georgia Tech coach Brian Gregory is about to enter his element.
With final exams complete and the spring term not starting until Jan. 7, Gregory has three weeks to hone in on his team and prepare for the ACC schedule. The Yellow Jackets will have four nonconference games over that span before the ACC opener against Miami Jan. 5, starting Monday night with Alabama State at McCamish Pavilion.
"We still need to take care of a lot of business before we worry about the ACC," Gregory said. "But, yeah, the next three weeks is an opportunity for us to get better as a team and where we're solely basketball."
Gregory will split practice time between skill development sessions and full-team work. While the Jackets will play Alabama State, the Citadel Saturday, Fordham Dec. 29 and Chattanooga Jan. 2, all at home, Gregory likened the time to a training camp.
"It's always good to have a break off of schoolwork," forward Robert Carter said. "It's just exciting to go in the gym and not have to worry about going to study hall afterwards, just go out and focus on what we love to do."
Rebounding will be a priority. The Jackets have been outrebounded in each of the past five games, winning three. In their last game, their rebounding deficit nearly cost them a victory in their most recent game. Tech had to rally from five points down with just over five minutes left to beat UNC-Wilmington, an inferior opponent, at McCamish Dec. 8. While Tech is better than last season, it will have little chance of competing in the ACC if it can't improve on the glass.
"I think you'll see a change in that pretty soon, because lately we've been doing a lot of tough defensive rebounding, offensive rebounding drills," Carter said.
Gregory and his staff will also work separately with brothers Stacey and Solomon Poole, the former a transfer from Kentucky and the latter an early-enrollee freshman, to accelerate their adjustment. Solomon Poole will be eligible to play Monday. Stacey figures to be cleared by the school for the game against the Citadel Saturday.
Stacey Poole's last game action took place in the 2010-11 season, when he totaled 45 minutes. His brother will be arriving directly from high school competition.
"My expectations are for what they do every day in practice," Gregory said. "The games will take care of themselves."
The games could well be valuable also. At 6-2, Tech has a chance to move to 10-2. After the weekend, the combined record for Tech's next four opponents was 8-29. Any shot at the postseason will require Tech to stack up as many wins as possible before ACC play begins.
"We've got to get these games by any means necessary," said guard Mfon Udofia, whose goal as a senior is to lead Tech back to the NCAA tournament. "I keep telling these guys, these are games we can't overlook because these are games that can come back and bite us."

Can't wait to see what the Poole Bros. can bring to the table.
We already have the ability to be a NCAA Tournament team…maybe they can help take us to the next level.

Looking forward to the game tonight. I hope to see a strong solid effort from Tech. A number of our games against so-called "inferior" opponents have been fairly close — case in point Presbyterian College and UNC-Wilmington. I'd like to see us come on strong and stay strong — similar to the way the Falcons took care of the Giants on Sunday. GO JACKETS!

Just a couple of FYIs…
Tech was an underdog to Presbyterian. 10.5 point underdogs to be exact. Vegas doesn't even offer lines on this game. It should not be close.
The game will also be on ESPN3 for those who have access to that.

Easy win tonight. GT was too big, too strong and too deep for Alabama State.
What's going on with Morris? He was on the bench in street clothes. Injured, grades or transfer? My guess is transfer.

Thanks 14GT. That was definitely not me @7:24. That is the first time that has happened to me. And by the way fake Gold Pants, do you really think I would make an appearance at Swinging Richards being that I am nearly 70 years old. PLEASE GO AWAY.

For all you redneck dog trolles who never stepped foot on UGA as a student….GT has a better basketball, baseball, and golf program that UGA…95% of you don't know any coaches or players on any of these other teams….but you call yourself a DOG fan, only in football are you superior to GT!!!

The NeoAir XLite is exactly that---LIGHT!!! That coupled with the fact that it packs down to about the size of a Nalgene and has a pretty decent R-factor makes this pad my definite go-to for 3 season camping. I tend to sleep cold and was surprised how warm I slept on a 30 degree night in my 40 degree sleeping bag. If you're looking for a sleeping pad that weighs less than a pound, doesn't take up too much room in your pack, and has a pretty darn good R-factor, this is the one for you.
OK guys, this is the same as the Neo Air Xlite, except it's 66", which falls between the "short" (47") and "long" (72") on the regular Neo Air Xlite.66" is 5 foot 6, for those of you who are slow at math. The weight is listed at 12 ounces but it should be about .3 ounces lighter. NOTE: Since the edges of these inflatables compress a bit, you should be 5' 2" or less if you're expecting head-to-toe comfort from this length.

Hartnell College will host the annual conference of the Monterey County Early Childhood Educators on Saturday, March 29, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on its main campus at 411 Central Avenue in Salinas.
In the line-up of workshops and presentations for participants are two riveting speakers whose work on childhood trauma and on cultural diversity have gained them widespread acclaim by academic institutions, clinicians, and practitioners in the fields of child development and education.
Dr. Bruce Perry, senior fellow of the Houston-based non-profit Child Trauma Academy, will present some of his important work on innovations in research, service, and education in child maltreatment and childhood trauma. Dr. Perry earned his medical degree and his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in Illinois, completed a residency in general psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine, and completed a fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry at The University of Chicago. He is a co-author of the popular book, The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog: What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love and Healing. Among the many honors he has earned for his pioneering work with children in high profile cases of trauma and abuse are the T. Berry Brazelton Infant Mental Health Advocacy Award, the Award for Leadership in Public Child Welfare, and the Alberta Centennial Medal.
Dr. Roberto Dansie is a contemporary authority on cultural diversity. An award-winning speaker, trainer, and clinical psychologist, Dr. Dansie has been the keynote speaker for diverse organizations that range from The Mayo Clinic to the CNN Center Atlanta Youth Leadership Congress. He was a member of the Morehouse School of Medicine's Cultural Competencies Advisory Group, is on faculty at Minnesota State University's Mankato Campus, and is a regular contributor to the nation's leading American Indian news source, Indian Country Today. Dr. Dansie has been awarded the Golden Medallion from the National Indian Health Board, the Cesar Chavez Award, and has been commended by the U.S. Administration on Aging. He is the author of two books: Eternal Wellsprings, and Semillas de Esperanza.
Conference organizers would like to thank First 5 of Monterey County, Hartnell College, HSBC, Mexican American Opportunity Foundation, Monterey County Office of Education, and Monterey Peninsula Foundation Youth Fund for their generous support of and contributions to this conference.

The plan extends tax cuts, including the estate tax and the child tax credit. It also cuts payroll taxes. The unemployed and businesses would benefit, too.
President Barack Obama and Congress reached a tentative deal Monday on a plan to keep the tax cuts enacted by former president George W. Bush in effect for another two years. The proposal also would preserve extended unemployment benefits and make some additional tax changes.
The details are still being negotiated, but Martin Vaughan of The Wall Street Journal provided this explanation of what's under discussion:
- The core of the proposal is a two-year, across-the-board extension of tax cuts enacted under former President George W. Bush. Mr. Obama said in his remarks Monday evening that he didn't favor extending tax cuts for top earners, but compromised to keep tax breaks for the middle class.
Two energy tax credits can help you save energy and tax dollars.
This article is by Laura Saunders at partner The Wall Street Journal.
Still smarting from your 2009 taxes? Start whittling the bill for next April.
A good place to begin: two federal tax credits for homeowners who want to save energy, one of which expires at the end of this year. The credits have appeal both for true green diehards and those who are staying put due to housing market doldrums.
If you're going to mail your return at the 11th hour, make sure it's going to get to the IRS.
This article comes from partner Bankrate.com.
More than two-thirds of U.S. taxpayers electronically file their returns. But that still leaves more than 46 million individuals who fill out their tax forms by hand and rely upon the U.S. Postal Service to get the documents to the IRS.
A large portion of those old-fashioned filers also are card-carrying members of the last-minute tax return club. That's not necessarily bad, especially if you owe the IRS. There's no need to send in your money until you absolutely have to. But you don't want to push the limit so far that you end up in a hurry and make an even more costly delivery mistake.
Can you find more than five Tax Code provisions to criticize?
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice:
As April 15 approaches, some of us experience a short-lived obsession with, and resentment of, taxes. For fairly obvious reasons, those of us who put off sending in the old 1040 until the last minute tend to be those who need to accompany our returns with checks made out to the Treasury. Folks entitled to checks going the other way tended to file weeks ago.
Having to fill out lengthy government forms is bad enough. Capping off the process with a savingsectomy is enough to turn anybody into a grumpy Republican. For me, this is like being an Irishman on St. Patrick's Day. I enjoy the company of my temporary compatriots, even though I know it won't last long.
Pandering to this grumbling constituency this week was The Big Money, which shared a list of the five worst parts of the tax code. The fact that they could come up with only five tells me they are only seasonally grumpy. A year-round resident would have come up with at least 10.
Without further ado, here are their five nominees and my comments.
Once you ask for a payment agreement, collection efforts cease.
You finally got your tax return done and it's ready to be mailed except for one small thing. You owe a shipload of money and have nothing in the bank. What do you do?
File anyway and send what you can. There's a penalty for filing late in addition to the interest and penalty for not paying what's due.
Then run to your bank and borrow against your home equity. Interest on a home equity loan up to $100,000 is tax-deductible, regardless of what you do with the money. But, what if you have no equity in your home?
Then grab a copy of Form 9465 (get it from the IRS Web site) and request an installment agreement to pay the IRS over time.
Many are failing to file the proper paperwork to receive the $400 ($800 per couple) Making Work Pay credit.
Here's a tax season newsflash that's no longer news to anyone: Many Filers Confused by Stimulus Tax Credit.
I've heard this complaint all filing season from readers and tax professionals (and my own family!).
Sadly, the cliche that no good deed goes unpunished is never more evident than when Congress creates a new tax law and the IRS implements it.
Tax revenue may rise as the Obama administration sets its sights on America's 2.5 million high-income families.
By Joe Mont, TheStreet
The tax deadline is three days away, but for the 2.48 million wealthy American families, the pain of higher taxes and increased scrutiny by the government is only starting.
President Barack Obama's proposed budget lets many of the tax cuts enacted by the Bush administration expire, a move benefitting the middle class at the expense of the richest Americans. Tax increases, including those included as part of health-care reform, will hurt those earning more than $250,000 a year, defined as "wealthy" by the IRS.
High-income earners can protect themselves. Here are three major tax changes, with a longer review and action plan following.
IRS will automatically extend filing deadline to Oct. 15, but you still have to pay what you owe now.
Time is running out and you still haven't filed your tax return.
You tried doing it yourself but every time you attempt to translate the tax form instructions they come out as a stream of incomprehensible syntax strung together without logic or meaning.

to me
Wednesday, August 14
In the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, there are two different disturbances that we are monitoring for further development in the Atlantic Basin.
After Satellite, Radar & Surface Observation analysis, There is a developing LPS (Low Pressure System) that is continuing to form and located between the NE tip of Honduras and the Cayman Islands where the shower and thunderstorm activity has become concentrated during the past several hours. Upper level winds are favorable for additional development of this disturbance during the next couple of days as it moves NW at 10-15mph toward the Yucatan Peninsula and Southern GoM (Gulf of Mexico).
This system has a MEDIUM chance (50%) of becoming a Tropical Cyclone during the next 48 hours and a HIGH chance (60%) of becoming a Tropical during the next 5 days.
This system will move WNW through the Yucatan Channel tonight. The Southern half of the storm will continue to the West, across the Yucatan Peninsula and into the bay of Campeche & SW GoM. The Northern half of the tropical wave will begin a turn to the North and merge with a trough moving East, through the NE Gulf waters, Friday – Sunday.
This wave remains embedded in an area of deep moisture. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are affecting a large area to include Jamaica, Cuba and portions of Central America. Upper level winds will become more favorable for development after this system moves into the GoM at the end of the week.
Model Guidance is mostly in agreement and suggests that this system will take the turn to the north and head toward the Northern GoM. There are a few outliers taking this system toward Mexico.
Once this system crosses the Yucatan Peninsula and moves into the GoM there will be a stronger consensus. If this system takes the Northerly Turn as many models suggest, areas along the Gulf Coast will need to follow this storm more closely.
For now, it is important to double check your Hurricane Supply Kit and make sure that you are prepared either way!
2) Showers and thunderstorms associated with a LPS (Low Pressure System) located just a few hundred miles SE of the Cape Verde Islands continue to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions are and will continue to be Conducive for additional development during the next couple of days.
This system has a HIGH chance (60%) of becoming a Tropical Cyclone during the next 48 hours. After that time, the storm will be moving into a rough environment which could limit development.
There remains a HIGH chance (60%) of becoming a Tropical Cyclone during the next 5 days.
Elsewhere, development is not expected during the next 48 hours.
For a continued look into the tropics, follow the link below to the First Alert Hurricane Center.

A former Columbus probation officer is now in custody after being on the run for almost two years.
Christie Bumpus, 40, was a probation officer for the Georgia Department of Corrections. She returned to Columbus today, Feb. 4, and turned herself in to authorities at a bonding company on 10th St. She was arrested and taken away in handcuffs to the Muscogee County Jail.
The former law enforcement officer was wanted for failing to show up for court back in April of 2012.
Court documents show that she is accused of taking $500 from probationers. It was money they were ordered to pay as part of their sentence. The documents also state that Bumpus deposited the money into her personal bank account. Charges include Theft of Property and Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.
We've also learned that Bumpus knew officials were hot on her trail, and today, she decided to end the manhunt.
Bumpus is being held in the Muscogee County Jail. We will continue to update as more information becomes available.
