A different kind of champion
These are very exciting days in New York City -- particularly in the Bronx, where the Yankees are on the brink of their 27th World Series championship.
On Thursday, the day of Game 2 of the Series, I went up to the Bronx. Not for the game, though.
No, I went for another reason -- to attend a celebration for a different kind of champion.
Deon Taylor, whom I first wrote about on Page 2 a year ago, was an undercover narcotics officer for the New York Police Department. He also was a member of the New York National Guard, serving in Afghanistan. He was killed on Oct. 22, 2008, when the Humvee he was riding in was destroyed by a roadside bomb.
When I first read about Deon in the New York Daily News last fall, I was quite moved. His story in particular resonated with me because he was exactly my age at the time of his death (30), and he was from the same city. It also resonated because he was a big sports fan, who rooted for the same teams I do, the Yankees, Giants and Knicks.
I have kept in touch with Deon's cousin, NYPD detective Darren Bullock, since writing that story a year ago. So when he let me know about the ceremony taking place on Thursday, I really wanted to be there.
It took place on Deon's old block, at the intersection of 163rd Street and Simpson Street -- a stone's throw from the Bruckner Expressway and just 1.6 miles from Yankee Stadium. Dozens of NYPD officers were there, as well as many of Deon's fellow soldiers. Lots of regular neighborhood folks showed up, too. Plus Deon's family, of course. His mother, Pamela Taylor, sat right up front, along with his fiancée, Caitlin Casey, whom he was to marry this past August.
It was a gorgeous, sun-drenched afternoon. Bagpipes were played. The national anthem was performed. Police commissioner Raymond Kelly spoke, saying Deon was "a talented leader." Bronx borough president Ruben Diaz Jr. called him "a true hero."
But the most touching part was when Deon's family gathered together on the corner of 163rd and Simpson and tugged on a thin rope, thereby removing a covering and revealing the new sign attached to the street pole:
"Police Officer Deon L. Taylor Way"
After the sign was revealed, Deon's cousin Darren spoke. He described how Deon embraced dangerous assignments at work, trying to make a difference on the streets. He also described the circumstances of Deon's death -- how he was actually filling in for a friend when he was riding in that Humvee. That friend, a platoon-mate, wanted to fly home to the U.S. to attend the funeral of his own cousin, who'd been killed in the war. Deon volunteered to take his place.
Suddenly, the World Series was the furthest thing from my mind.
"He was someone special," Pamela Taylor said afterward. "I'm gonna miss him. But I just loved what he did with his life in a very short period of time."
If you follow the news, you probably know how hazardous the situation is for our troops right now. October was the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since the war there began in 2001. With Veteran's Day coming up on Nov. 11 and Thanksgiving two weeks after that, now would be a great time to think about a tangible way to help our troops, or show your gratitude and appreciation. Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon is heavily involved in the Wounded Warrior Project -- that's just one way to help.
As many of us settle in to watch Game 6 of the World Series back in the Bronx on Wednesday night, maybe we all could spend a moment remembering the thousands of men and women who have given their lives, both figuratively and literally, so you and I can sit back and enjoy things like the World Series, feeling safe and at peace.
Deon would certainly be enjoying this World Series. Caitlin described to me how huge a Yankees fan Deon was. In fact, Caitlin's parents live in Massachusetts and are big Red Sox fans, and Deon used to call them all the time to talk trash about the rivalry.
Caitlin spent Sunday night with Deon's mother, brother and cousin, watching Game 4 -- finding some small solace and distraction in cheering on Deon's beloved Bronx Bombers. "He would be so ecstatic about the Yankees being back in the Series," Caitlin said. "I just wish he was still here with us."
If the Yankees are able to win one more game, there will be a parade in a few days on lower Broadway. I'll probably try to go, and I'll cheer on Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia, Mariano Rivera and the others as they process up the Canyon of Heroes.
But if I ever need a reminder of a true hero, I know where to go now.
The corner of 163rd and Simpson.

Food prices, especially breakfast items, soar 10 percent
Year-over-year food prices rose 10 percent for the most popular store-bought grocery items, especially breakfast foods, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation.
The organization tracks grocery prices� each quarter -- examining costs for 16 basic groceries, including eggs, milk, cheese, chicken and ground beef. For the fourth quarter, bacon, eggs, whole milk, sliced deli ham and bread increased the most in dollar value compared to the third quarter, according to the informal survey.
Overall, the "Marketbasket Survey" showed that the total cost of 16 food items for the fourth quarter was $46.97, up 80 cents or about 2 percent compared to the third quarter of 2010. The basket of basic food items was up $4.07, or about 10 percent, compared to a year ago, same period.
The quarterly increase in bacon, for example, was 68 cents to $4.32 per pound. (Year over year, bacon prices soared 44 percent.)
The cost of eggs rose to $1.60 per dozen in the fourth quarter, up 19 cents from the previous quarter. Whole milk jumped 19 cents, as well,� to $3.35 per gallon.
"Hearty breakfast lovers felt the pinch," said farm bureau economist John Anderson. "Increased consumer demand for meats and dairy products that began in 2009 continued through the fourth quarter of 2010."
A look at other price changes:
- Sliced deli ham increased 18 cents to $4.84 per pound
- Bread increased 14 cents to $1.75 for a 20-ounce loaf.
- Sirloin tip roast, up 9 cents to $3.95 per pound
- Shredded cheddar cheese, up 7 cents to $4.16 per pound
- Toasted oat cereal up 4 cents to $2.88 for a 9-ounce box
- Six foods decreased slightly in the fourth quarter: boneless chicken breasts, flour, Russet potatoes, ground chuck and bagged salad.
- Orange juice prices remained flat at $2.97 for a half-gallon.
Shoppers aren't expected to get a break from soaring food bills, the bureau said.
"Increasing our nation's livestock herd to meet the growing demand for meat and dairy products takes time, so we are likely to see retail prices continue to increase for some foods throughout 2011," Anderson said.
The farm organization has been conducting the quarterly food prices survey since 1989.

Located on the south side near I-465 and Emerson, the Fujiyama Steak House is a "teppanyaki" style restaurant where the show is as much a part of the experience as the food. As one guest said, "It's fun to watch them cook in front of your face," and indeed it is.
The quality of the show will vary a bit, depending on the cook who serves you. Most are quite animated and entertaining while others ... well, should probably be working in the back, "behind the scenes." Those instances are, thankfully, rare.
The menu has a variety of entree items that can be cooked "in front of your face," including chicken, hibachi fish, hibachi steak, scallops, filet mignon, and shrimp (all of which are offered alone or in combination). They also offer combination dinners featuring lobster tail. Fujiyama also offers kid-size portions of the same food served to the adults; don't look for a PB&J on this menu! Look at this an an opportunity for the kiddies to experience different cuisines.
If you're a fan of sushi, Fujiyama has a sushi bar where you can watch the sushi artist plying his trade. A little less energetic than the table-side shows but perhaps even more artistic.

I've had an email from a member I invited to this site asking me why people are able to tell her where she lives when she has made no indication about it whatsoever.
Why is this feature still telling others where we live?
it won't show you if you don't put in "location"
Then why are you flagged under 'international'?
Because i am a philosopher and have risen above the casts, religions and nations.
* Smirk *
It's funny how people with weird ideas always think they've risen above others rather than sunk below them.
it's a fine line.
i have no idea what the heck you are talking about.
"drawing lines all along the earth" - roads/tracks/etc. i guess? because you also compare it to the moon so i'm assuming you're not talking about theoretical lines (as in what i was referring to).
"I do not believe in these lines just like birds and bees." - you don't believe in birds and bees? what the heck stung me last week then? and what the heck crapped on my car this morning?
What stung you? A hornet, a wasp, that drop in your pay...
What crapped on your car? A bee, your dog, a metaphsical ninja come to destroy us all...
Afaf are you talking about the google map by ip address? It doesn't show your physical location, only the location of your internet service provider. From that it may be possible for a highly motivated stalker to extrapolate and find you, but it's not like someone can just go click, click, click and find out where your house is.
i know where you live. hide your children.
Can anyone else smell that?
This completely misses the point -- it should be entirely up to the user what information about them, however generic, is made public.
I'd suggest it should be an opt-in feature at a minimum. Also, there should be no way for you to find out my IP address simply by interacting with me here -- I'm pretty sure that all messaging, including during game-play is already routed through chess.com' servers so my IP should be 100% obcured from the other users here, and rightly so.
I can't speak for Meebo though -- is it a peer-to-peer or server hosted service? In either case I have it disabled.
haha afaf
The trick was that when they leave the location section blank, or enter a location that google maps can't find, the system automatically shows the location of the ISP. So users need to put in a random location (like "international" or something) that does bring results from google maps search.
I thought this problem was solved altogether.
I think Afaf has a point. You are international but located at/near Sunderland UK according to the map.
I completely agree with Afaf and theGrobe about this. The location near Sunderland UK is what Google Maps search brings when you enter "international". It's an outcome of the "manual" solution I've explained above to this privacy problem.
Haha, Sunderland is international?!
That's what google thinks .
What's it like up there?

2007 Lexus GX 470 SUV 4dr SUV 4WD (4.7L 8cyl 5A)
A Lexus mechanic checked out my car prior to purchase. Beware there are some trouble spots, but overall they are one of the most reliable vehicles you can buy. If you are a Lexus owner, you have access to all Lexus service records online (including records prior to your ownership). This is a great resource. We traded a RX330 for the GX, the GX has a much nicer interior and the build quality is amazing. Very pleased with the vehicle.
After we had our second child, we were looking to replace our '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee with something a bit larger, and higher end. With two kids, two large dogs, and the needed ability to tow and secure a motorcycle carrier to the tow hitch, the choices were limited. I researched several SUVs in this class, but all reviews and stats kept leading me back to the GX. I started looking for certified pre-owned GXs with low mileage, and there weren't many. I took that as a sign that these vehicles were sought after and kept. I finally found an immaculate '07 with only 25K miles on it. After we drove it, we realized why everyone gushes over their Lexus cars and suvs. It drives much smaller than it is, and it's really comfortable and very quiet. The power is awesome, especially off the line and charging uphill. It tows easily and has a tongue weight of 650+ lbs to handle my moto carrying needs. Interior storage space is more than ample. The 3rd row is handy when you need it, and easy to remove when you don't. Other than the 16mpg avg, I really have no complaints. We have taken our GX in the snow, mud, on icy roads, and everywhere in between, and it handles it all without flinching. I am thoroughly impressed, and would definitely recommend it.PROS: Powerful motor, smooth, quiet ride, car-like handling, comfortable seats, reliable, and go anywhere AWDCONS: Avg 16MPG, and the navigation is crap. (But, who uses the car nav with smartphones anyway?)
Luxury and power. Able to tow 6500pounds. Comfortable is all respects plus give the feeling of safety. Well thought design. Easily earns its consumer report outstanding "recommended buy" rating.
We owned a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee for 6 years before this, which was a solid and powerful SUV, but this GX is several rungs up the quality ladder. Ample, smoothpower, VERY comfortable and quiet even at freeway speeds. Rock solid in the snow and rain and very reliable. 3rd row seats are handy, and easy to fold up or down. Anyone who says it's difficult is mechanically inept. Literally takes < 1 min.Not the best mileage at 14-15 mi. combined avg per gallon, but it is a fairly large SUV with a V8, so actually not too bad. Handles great for its size, and the driving modes and right height adjustments really help for specific driving and road types.
Smooth & powerful V8, comfortable interior, reliable, extremely quiet, can go anywhere and over anything, and can also tow very well. Controls are simple and intuitive. Heated seats, 2nd row A/C, and reclining 2nd row seats are cool.
If you're looking for an all-weather road trip vehicle that can tow and hold its own off-road, I can't imagine a much better SUV than this for the price.
Not sure why our 2007 has a cassette player? Navigation is a pain, but smart phones are better anyway. Bring back this body style, the new Lexus SUVs are UGLY!
This thing is a beast when comes to snow. The miltary should pick this vehicle up. When it snows I feel like I can go any where. I wish it was a little bigger, of course i have the same complaint on most foreign automobiles. Third row seating is poor but it is a easy fix to take them out. i havent figured out this cassette thing is on the sound system.feel like I can go
Off road and snow capabilitys.

For measuring the 3D shape of large objects, scanning by a moving range sensor is one of the most efficient method. However, if we use moving range sensors, the obtained data have some distortions due to the movement of the sensor during the scanning process. In this paper, we propose a method for recovering correct 3D range data from a moving range sensor by using the multiple view geometry. We assume that range sensor radiates laser beams in raster scan order, and they are observed from a static camera. We first show that we can deal with range data as 3D space-time images, and show that the extended multiple view geometry can be used for representing the relationship between the 3D space-time of camera image and the 3D space-time of range data. We next show that the multiple view geometry under extended projections can be used for rectifying 3D data obtained by the moving range sensor. The method is implemented and tested in synthetic images and range data. The stability of recovered 3D shape is also evaluated.

Rupee Rally to Falter on Current-Account Deficit: India Credit
The biggest rupee rally in 15 months may be coming to an end as a widening current-account deficit erodes the benefits of surging inflows of overseas investment.
The shortfall in the broadest measure of trade and investment flows tripled in the second quarter from a year ago to a record $13.7 billion, a central bank report showed today. The currency, which has climbed 4.7 percent this month, will drop 1.2 percent by Dec. 31, a survey shows.
A wider deficit increases pressure on Reserve Bank of India Governor Duvvuri Subbarao to protect exporters and slow rupee gains by buying dollars and delaying interest-rate increases, according to Barclays Plc, the world's third-biggest currency trader. Kokusai Asset Management Co. said any weakness may be temporary. The rupee survey signaled the currency may resume its rally next year, gaining 5.3 percent in 2011.
"The RBI has a tough task striking a balance between inflows, exchange rate and controlling inflation," said Rahul Bajoria, a Singapore-based economist at Barclays. "The deficit will increase the headwinds and lead to a weakening of the rupee in the short term."
Relative Strength
The rupee touched 44.835 a dollar this week, its strongest level since May 4, after gaining 6 percent from an eight-month low reached on May 25.
Trading patterns signal a possible reversal, after the rupee's so-called relative strength index rose to 77.6, from 37.3 at the end of last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Readings above 70 indicate a currency may have risen too fast.
The last time the reading was above 70 was in April, just before the rupee weakened to 47.7450 in May from 44.1875 on April 10. The currency may end the year at 45.5 and strengthen to 43.23 by December, 2011, according to the survey.
India's 10-year bonds held at their highest level in six weeks yesterday on speculation slowing inflation will prompt the central bank to pause interest-rate increases. Inflation as measured by wholesale prices held above 10 percent for four months since March before slowing to 8.5 percent in August, according to commerce ministry data.
Narrowing Spread
The yield on the 7.8 percent note due May 2020 was 7.85 percent as of the 5 p.m. close in Mumbai yesterday, according to the central bank's trading system. The price was at 99.68 per 100 rupee face amount. The was no trading today for half-yearly closing of bank accounts.
Yields on India's 10-year notes are poised to fall this month relative to U.S. Treasuries for the first time since May in a sign that investors have greater confidence in India. The difference in yields was 5.34 percentage points yesterday, compared with 5.48 percentage points at the end of August. The measure has ranged from 3.74 percentage points at the start of the year to 5.56 percentage points on Aug. 26.
India yields compare with 12.06 percent in Brazil, 7.62 percent in Russia and 3.35 percent in China, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Similar debt offer 2.46 percent in the U.S., 0.92 percent in Japan, 2.22 percent in Germany and 2.91 percent in the U.K.
Slowing inflation and rising foreign demand for India's stocks will bolster the rupee, said Takahide Irimura, the head of emerging-market research in Tokyo at Kokusai Asset Management.
Stock, Bond Purchases
"The rupee may continue to outperform the other regional currencies in the short term," Irimura said in a telephone interview from Tokyo on Sept. 28.
Overseas investors bought $18.2 billion more Indian shares than they sold this year, while debt purchases reached a record 471.3 billion rupees ($10.5 billion), according to data provided by the Securities & Exchange Board of India. Net foreign direct investment, according to government estimates, is likely to jump 52 percent to $30 billion in the year to March.
Higher sovereign ratings have helped fuel the rally in the rupee, making it the best performer this month after the Korean won among the top 10 most-traded currencies in the region outside Japan. The won has gained 5.1 percent.
Moody's Investors Service increased India's local-currency credit rating one level to Ba1, the highest non-investment grade, in July as the government vowed to make the sharpest cuts in its budget deficit in 19 years. That was the first upgrade since 1998 and places India on par with Greece, Egypt and Morocco.
Current-Account Deficit
The current-account deficit in the fiscal year ending March 31 may widen to a record $57 billion, or 3.6 percent of gross domestic product, according to Barclays' estimates. The gap was $38.4 billion the previous year, or 2.9 percent of GDP.
The International Monetary Fund estimates Brazil will have a deficit of 2.2 percent of GDP in 2010, while China and Russia may show a surplus of 6.2 percent and 5.1 percent.
The central bank's Subbarao said Sept. 20 that it's a "dilemma" to manage capital flows and the nation needs "just enough to meet the current-account deficit." He said in a speech in the southern city of Hyderabad that it isn't possible to simultaneously have free movement of capital, a fixed exchange rate and an independent monetary policy.
The Reserve Bank intervenes in the market "only to smooth volatility, which is harmful to trade and investment," Subbarao said in a speech in Washington on April 26. The central bank "doesn't comment on the day-to-day movement of the rupee," said Alpana Killawala, a spokeswoman for the central bank.
'Temporary Problem'
The surge in the current-account gap is a "temporary problem," and will moderate to 2 percent of GDP during the next 12 to 18 months, said Chetan Ahya, an economist at Morgan Stanley in Singapore. Morgan Stanley expects the rupee will weaken to 47 to the dollar by the end of March.
Imports rose faster than exports as India's 8.8 percent growth last quarter, the best among major economies after China, stoked demand for oil and other goods.
A sputtering recovery in developed nations prompted Infosys Technologies Ltd., the nation's second-largest software exporter, to cut prices to retain customers as it reported a drop in profit in the three months ended June 30.
Overseas purchases of merchandise goods climbed an average 44 percent this year from the same period in 2009, while sales of the nation's goods abroad grew about 20 percent, according to data provided by the trade ministry. The monthly trade deficit averaged $10.6 billion this year, a record.
"Despite the fact that capital inflows have risen on the back of strong growth and higher domestic borrowing costs, we view sustained currency appreciation as unlikely," said Barclays' Bajoria, who expects the rupee will depreciate to 47.5 per dollar by March.

Stayed in the hotel from 20 to 23 Jun 13 as a couple.
Summary of the Hotel:
1) The location of the hotel is good. Located among the local shops and restaurants and within walking distance. Kata Beach is also within walking distance.
2) The room was large. I got a room with pool access and very much like the pool. We spend quite some time using this facility.
1) Cleanliness of the room could be better. The floor of the room was sticky and basically we were with our footwear in the room all the time. Saw and killed two cockroaches during our stay.
2) WIFI was also non-existence in the room even though it is stated that the hotel provided free WIFI. Had to sit at certain spot in the room to access that pathetic one bar of signal for the WIFI and kept disconnecting. Only existence of WIFI was at the reception and breakfast area.
3) Breakfast was open air. Wondering if the birds did help themselves with the food though most of the trays were covered. Hygiene is an issue. Food for the breakfast was bland and tasteless, variety was too little. I usually quite a heavy breakfast in the hotel when i travel, but i ate less than half i usually eat.
Overall it is an good hotel but i believe the better days are over and need to buck up on their maintenance of the facilities.

Publisher's Description
In 2012, the Bible, and the End of the World, bestselling prophecy expert Mark Hitchcock explores a fascinating last-days controversy that is gaining the attention of millions all over the globe.
What should Christians make of the rapidly spreading speculations that the world will end on December 21, 2012? The ancient Mayans were expert astronomers and their advanced calendar cycles predict 12/21/2012 as a catastrophic day of apocalypse. This prophecy has spawned a growing number of fringe-element books, Web sites, and even a major movie complete with all-star cast scheduled to release in July 2009.
Missing in the furor is a biblical perspective. Bible teacher Mark Hitchcock whose books have sold more than 300,000 copies examines the following questions:
- Why December 21, 2012?
- Can we trust the Mayan alarm clock?
- Does the Bible say anything about 2012?
- What signs will tell us that Armageddon is near?
This book provides a fascinating survey of both the historical past and the prophetic future. Readers will discover how to effectively counter baseless speculation with biblical fact.

Norman Perry5 Stars Out Of 5very relevant to today.March 11, 2011Norman PerryQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Very good and informative and relevant to todays world. The author is very knowledgeable concerning last days prophecy and endtime world events. Would recommend it.
Susan RudolphSouth DakotaAge: 45-54Gender: female3 Stars Out Of 5surprisingly disappointedDecember 13, 2010Susan RudolphSouth DakotaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 2I purchased this book for my mom who has been hearing some of the 2012 hype. It was very informative when it discussed all the possibilities floating around but when it came time to present the biblical view of end times he did so from a millennialism viewpoint - which I do not agree with. Jesus will come only once, and Revelation is not meant to be read as a literal account. We believers won't be swept away leaving our pajamas behind while others wander around bedazzled! Many of us are Amillennialists (many Christian denomations) so only reading about the one viewpoint was regretful.
John Diehl5 Stars Out Of 5September 15, 2010John Diehla lot of information. Anyone who is wondering about 2012 should read this book, and find out the truth.
Rose Cuzick4 Stars Out Of 5June 3, 2010Rose CuzickI really enjoyed this book. good information to pass along to those who question 'end times'. God is in charge, we are here by His will and we will leave by His will, whenever He chooses.

Who are our true heroes?
Published: Friday, September 17, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 17, 2010 at 7:40 a.m.
As the sand lowers into the bottom portion of the hourglass, the sun rises and sets during each passing day.
As our days roll, we make decisions that build and create our character — the people we become.
Sometimes our priorities and judgments are clouded by the demands of the world.
Who are the true heroes?
The people we meet on a daily basis.
What would the world be like without our garbage collectors, our waitresses, our grocery clerks, our mail carriers?
These are the people who make the world go around and let us fulfill their dreams.
My sister was one.
She did not have the glamorous life.
She had a modest home. She was one of the richest people because of the things she offered.
Cynthia was a waitress, and she was dedicated to her job and the people. In her passing, her extraordinary qualities came to light.
Many people have told of her delightfulness, caring and dedication. She would care of her customers as though they were family.
She didn't know each one by name, but when they walked in, she was quick to serve and assure their experience was a pleasant and inviting one.
People would come just because she would serve them, and if she was not there, they would leave, returning when she was. Who could have been more of a hero?
Why must we weigh our prosperity by money when riches have more to do with inner happiness and reward?
We must begin rating people on how they treat others, how they interact with others and how they place themselves behind others. Those who are first on Earth shall be last in heaven, and those who are last on Earth shall be first in heaven.
I can say that my sister is standing in the front of the line because she was always placing herself behind others, and she's not sitting because she gave up her seat for someone else. These are the true heroes.
Take the today to thank the garbage men who keep picking up after you, the grocery clerks who stock the shelves, the waitresses who pleasantly bring you food and the family members who stand by you through thick and thin. Without these people, we would be nothing. With these people, we are the richest people in the world.
Enjoy your time together before you have no more time left.
Claudette LeBlanc

HARTFORD, Conn. - A Virginia court ruled against President Obama's signature health care reform, but a large interfaith rally here on Dec. 14 pushed back, demanding implementation of a state public option that would bring residents the full benefit of national health care.
Standing before a church packed with over 500 health care advocates, and surrounded by two dozen clergy from all denominations, Democratic Governor-elect Dan Malloy pledged that his administration will "do all we can so lives are not affected adversely because of delayed health care."
He said that his own experience with disabilities as a child and his mother's work as a nurse shaped his vision for universal access.
The clergy presented Malloy with their holy books, related passages highlighted. Pledge cards signed by each person present detailed features they want the health care bill to include.
Looking out at the sea of lit candles held by those present, U.S. Senator-elect Richard Blumenthal asserted, "We are not going back to preexisting conditions and abuses, we are going forward with SustiNet as a model more firmly than before because of you." He added that from a national perspective this kind of public pressure "will compel us to fight for universal health care."
SustiNet would be a health care plan for Connecticut, originally aimed at insuring 98 percent of the population.
Connecticut may be the first state to set up a public option. The Legislature created the SustiNet Board last year over the veto of Republican Governor Jodi Rell. As mandated, that board is now preparing proposals for implementation that the legislature will act upon in its 2011 session.
Rev. Bonita Grubbs of Christian Community Action in New Haven, speaking on behalf of the Interfaith Fellowship for Universal Health Care, called for a vision plan to establish a system of health care in Connecticut. She emphasized that "who shows up will determine the details."
According to Speaker of the House Chris Donovan, "Sustinet is thing one, and universal health care for everybody is thing two."
In opposition to calls for budget cuts he said, "We can provide health care for everyone and save money." Donovan pointed out that, due to the hard work of many in the room, those elected officials who voted to override Gov. Rell's veto were re-elected in November along with a Democratic governor, for the first time in 22 years.
In his closing prayer, Rev. Rha-Sheen Brown of Right Now Ministries in New Britain said,"iI's time to make sure every politician sees health care is a human right." Speaking on behalf of the entire gathering he said, "we stand in unity until everybody has free health care."
The Connecticut Center for a New Economy bus from New Haven, filled with a diverse group of state residents, was high-spirited. "The politicians were there tonight because we worked hard and got out the vote," said organizer Shirley Lawrence. "This is just the start."
The SustiNet Board is scheduled to vote on its recommendations next week. The legislative session opens on January 5, 2011.

Poppy's 3rd tooth
Poppy's 3rd tooth fell out today! It's been loose for ages and just fell right out today when she bit into some cantaloupe. It's a bottom tooth, like the first 2. All her top ones are still firm!

Poppy is super student!
Once upon a time in a far away kingdom called Indianapolis, a princess was born into the royal family. She was a big baby (9lbs 15oz!), born at home in the caul, and the king and queen named her Penelope. Because Penelope is an awfully big name for such a young girl, she went by Poppy – also the name of a beautiful flower. Poppy was a very outgoing child, speaking in paragraphs before her 2nd birthday. She idolized her older sister, princess Lolli, and they had many adventures together including taking tumbling and ballet lessons and playing softball together. The king and queen added two princes to the family, Ozzie and Augie. Poppy was a great older sister, always having the patience and desire to do whatever it took to teach her brothers new things. Eventually Poppy began to tire of being a princess; she wanted to just be an average kid like all her friends. And so, at her request, her parents gave up their titles as King and Queen and moved their family away from the Kingdom of Indianapolis to a tiny village called New Palestine. There Poppy and her family lived a perfectly average and joyful life as commoners amongst the other New Palestinians. Poppy loved school, dance class, and singing karaoke at home with her siblings. She also enjoyed riding her bike, creating artwork, and spending time with her family….so, as the story goes, they lived happily ever after. I know a young girl named Penelope Lynn. On a scale starting with zero, she's a perfect 10! She was born at home, weighing 9 pounds, 15 ounces. A girly girl from the start, she likes to wear stuff that flounces. In dance class she does jazz, ballet, and tap. Her favorite place to sit is in her mom or dad's lap. Poppy's silly and clever, and quick to make a friend. She's helpful and kind, and loyal to the end. She adores her 3 siblings, Lolli, Ozzie & Augie. She loves her cat Bolton and Dexter, her doggie. She can be upbeat and hyper, or chilled out and mellow. A good girl all around – that's Poppy Pucillo!

Happy birthday, Mr. Augustus!
Augie is 1!!! He's over 23 pounds and at least 30 inches (he has his official check up next week). He has platinum blonde hair and amazingly blue eyes. He's delightfully chubby. He has 8 teeth. He still has about 15 ounces of pumped milk a day. He's kinda of starting to drink some cow milk. He eats a TON of food. His favorite things are watermelon and blueberries but he'll eat almost anything. He takes one nap a day for around 1.5-2.5 hours. He goes to bed between 7 and 8 and gets up between 6 and 7 (and several times in between ha ha). He sleeps in a crib in the bedroom he shares with Ozzie. Sometimes he still uses his baby swing if he's having a really hard time chilling out for bed. He's walking! He still crawls some, too, but he's very deliberate in practicing his walking and he's improving every day. He started crawling at 9 months but didn't cruise until after he hit 11 months, so we weren't sure if he'd be walking by his birthday or not - but he was :) He's so funny because he was able to stand himself up without holding onto anything for a month or so before he even started cruising. He would do squats and work on his balance all the time! He doesn't speak yet but he signs "hello", "bye bye", "milk", "more", "all done", "eat", "drink", and "ball". He's starting to learn new ones almost daily! He has a great sense of humor and loooooves his big siblings and imitates them often. Taking baths is one of his favorite things. He loves being outside and is still perfectly content to ride in his stroller on walks. On his birthday, he had a cinnamon roll with a candle in it for breakfast! Then he hung out with his buddy Harper and Ozzie and his buddy Harrison. They went to the park and Augie got to do one of his favorite things - swing! He had a family birthday party with a football cake the next day. He got a giant stuffed giraffe, a talking stuffed dog, a train with tracks, a tool box, a dump truck and a suitcase. Plus $ for his savings account. What a lucky kid! He's such a joy to have around!!!

Happy 8th birthday Lolli!
Lolli is 8! She has lost (and grown in) 8 teeth. Her hair is blonde but getting darker each year. She celebrated the day with donuts for breakfast and wearing a birthday girl ribbon to school. Lauren went and ate lunch with her and dropped off cookie cakes and juice pouches for her to share with her class. They said her name on the announcements and she got a couple birthday pencils! After school she chose steak and mashed potatoes for dinner - yum! Then she requested a trip to the apple orchard so they went to Tuttles where they picked apples and had slushies. Lolli even got hers for free! Then they watched Teen Beach Movie 2 and had cake (one of which Ozzie DROPPED on the GROUND! - but that's another story ha ha). She had a great birthday! Her gifts included that movie, a Kids Bop CD, some earrings, an iTunes gift card, a spirograph, a battery-operated fish, a microscope, Shopkins stuff, etc.

Lolli P, soccer extraordinaire!
Lolli is playing her 2nd season of soccer at NP United this fall. She's once again being coached by the world's greatest - her dad :) Her team is the U8 Dolphins. None of the girls on her team go to her school but she's made some friends. They split the team up on game day between a non-aggressive game and an aggressive game. Lolli has been doing great at playing the first half on the non-aggressive side and the 2nd half on the aggressive side. She's scored several goals and is really getting good at playing sweeper!

Poppy the dancer!
Poppy is now enrolled in Elementary Dance 1 at Wilkinson Dance Studio in Greenfield - the same place Lauren took lessons as a child. She goes from 4:15-5:45 on Mondays and is learning tap, ballet, and jazz. Can't wait to see her dance on stage!

Trailing 53-52 with seven seconds remaining, senior Kamesha Strong grabbed the rebound off a missed Wolfpack free throw and tossed the ball up ahead to Katie Williams, who found a streaking Ashley Rush for a game-winning layup.
The senior's go-ahead shot, which were her only two points of the contest, capped a stunning rally for AUM, which trailed 46-32 with 12:05 remaining.
"Every home game against Loyola in the last three years has come down to the closing seconds," head coach Dan Davis said. "This comeback showed the fight that our team had all year long. We had suffered a tough loss at William Carey in the previous game. To be able to bounce back the way we did really demonstrated their toughness."
The win was AUM's 21st of the season, clinching the program's highest win total in six years. The Warhawks actually trailed 53-49 with only 10 seconds remaining before Psachal Maize nailed a long 3-point attempt. Loyola would then miss a pair of free throws to set up the dramatic ending.
"That 3-pointer by Psachal was a play we had practiced all year," Davis added. "Then they missed those free throws and our girls reacted the right way. I thought Ashley's layup was going to stay on the rim forever, but it was great to have a senior finish off the win."
LaKenya Drayton and Caitlin Cunningham were also recognized on Senior Day along with Rush and Strong. All four played a part in the victory, as Cunningham tied a season-high with 10 rebounds and Drayton chipped in nine boards. Maize led the team with 17 points, while Williams added 15.
With the victory, the Warhawks finished Southern States Athletic Conference play at 13-5, which was good enough for second place in the West division. It was the most conference victories for AUM since the 2008-09 squad finished 15-5.
Check back tomorrow as the number two moment from the 2012-13 season is revealed.

I'm running a PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and a laptop with the same.
I have a Windows 2003 virtual machine, created in VMWare Workstation, running on the laptop. The VM currently uses NAT (If I switch to Bridged, without making any other changes, the VM cannot see anything).
From within that virtual machine, I can ping my PC. It gives results similar to this:
c:> ping marc-pc
Pinging marc-pc.localdomain 192.168.1.101 with 32 bytes of data
reply from....
And all seems well.
When I run ipconfig from CMD on the laptop's VM, I get:
Connection-specific DNS suffix: localdomain
IP Address ... 192.168.239.129
Subnet Mask ... 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway ... 192.168.239.2
So, from my PC, if I try to ping 192.168.239.129
I get "Request Timed out".
Basically, the VM on the laptop can ping the PC, but the PC can't ping back.
How do I set up the VM on the laptop so that the PC can communicate with the VM?

Thoughtful and well said just as we would expect to hear from Mr. John MacArthur. There are so many Heroes of the Faith to Look to Since Christ's Sacrifice, may I become ever closer to the Standard the Lord has for me! Interesting to realize that our God has high Hopes and Faith in our ability to Trust Him and be Made New. Hallelujah! is all that comes to mind as I contemplate this; how about you???
Well last week we started talking a little bit about the family and I began by talking more directly to the single people and I have a few more words for you again tonight. I hope there have been some engagements during the week since I...I don't know, but it would be nice if there had been some. Part of the problem in the world in which we live is you have too many choices. It was a lot better when you lived in a village and there were eight girls to choose from, and that was the way it was.... http://www.gty.org/resources/sermons/80-383

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ford F250 Super Duty Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.8
Not only does the full-size heavy-duty
pickup truck business continue to thrive, it is the last remaining vehicle category solely controlled by the domestic Big Three. To this end, the 2012 Ford F-Series Super Duty has only three opponents: the Chevrolet Silverado HD/GMC Sierra HD twins, and the Ram 2500/3500. Not to say that the Super Duty has it easy, especially when it comes to bragging rights for the most torque or highest tow ratings. While the new Ram seems to be ahead of the pack (as least as far as towing and horsepower go), the differences are not miles apart, and the Ford Super Duty series can more than pull its own weight in every category. If you want a cool truck for light work and play, get a nice F-150 or Ram 1500. But, if you have real work to do, the kind that gets you and your truck dirty from head to bumper, then a 2012 Ford Super Duty is what you'll want to be driving.
All the big HD trucks can tow and haul heavy loads, and the Super Duty is no exception. But, beyond its workhorse credentials the 2012 Ford Super Duty offers an impressive array of comfort and technology features aimed at maximizing efficiency on the open road and at the job site.
If you're looking for the image a big, tough pickup truck conveys, but you're not moving anything heavier than the occasional sofa or some dirt bikes, you'll be just fine with a nice half-ton like the F-150.
The 6.7-liter PowerStroke turbodiesel gets a bump up in horsepower and torque, and a gooseneck hitch is now available on 6.75-foot box.
Truck owners know that after horsepower and torque, a truck's body strength is its most important feature, which is why Ford has given the 2012 Super Duty the stiffest chassis...
... the company has ever produced. Featuring fully boxed front frame rails, and thick C-channel frame rails and crossmembers, the Super Duty's rigid frame helps it avoid flexing and twisting as well as improving towing ability. A few days in the Texas outback revealed a truck that is stable, sturdy and easy to drive. The cabin is quiet, the steering firm and direct, and the brakes strong. When equipped with the PowerStroke diesel engine, the 2012 Ford F-Series Super Duty can tow up to 17,500 pounds with a conventional hitch, and 24,500 pounds with a fifth wheel.
Favorite Features
King Ranch Trim
Constituting both interior (Chaparral leather) and exterior (PowerScope mirrors) upgrades, the King Ranch enhances over-the-road comfort with material, workmanship and appointment upgrades, adding immeasurably to the Super Duty's attractiveness. And, unlike some luxury pickups, there's no intention of appealing – overtly – to the Country Club set; this remains a work truck and not a work-in-progress.
Power Stroke Diesel
Ford's latest 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel is a true dynamo, with torque and towing figures near the top of its class.
Although the 2012 Ford Super Duty is all about working hard, you wouldn't know it from the truck's interior. XLT and Lariat trims are very nice indeed, with plush covering for the seats and door panels, plenty of upscale trim on the dash and a number of comfort and convenience upgrades. The King Ranch package pushes the Super Duty's cab into the realm of Lincoln-like luxury, offering an interior so inviting you'll probably have your mud-covered work crew hitching a ride in the truck's long bed. For those who understand that the nature of their work is going to trash the truck's interior no matter how well it's put together, Ford builds the base XL truck with a pretty Spartan interior that can take a beating and cleans up easily.
You'd have to be half blind or 50 yards away to mistake the 2012 Ford Super Duty for any other truck, but just to be 100-percent certain, Ford stamps "SUPER DUTY" in huge capital letters across the truck's massive 3-bar chrome grille. The Super Duty's grille is not just for show; it serves as the air inlet for the truck's engine and transmission cooling units as well as the intercooler on the turbocharged diesel models. Remember, the cooler its moving parts stay, the better the Super Duty performs. It will probably live a lot longer, too. Other useful exterior features include available telescoping side trailer mirrors, 20-inch forged aluminum wheels and a host of bed add-ons.
Ford knows truck owners are an independent bunch, so they've installed a front step bumper to make under-hood checks a bit easier to perform. Around back, the 2012 Ford Super Duty trucks include a hitch receiver matched to each model's capabilities as well as 7- and 4-pin connectors. On the safety front, every Super Cab includes Ford's Safety Canopy System with front-side and side-curtain airbags. Also standard is AdvanceTrac traction and stability control that includes trailer sway control and Roll Stability Control.
Those intending to tow with their 2012 Ford Super Duty truck will appreciate Ford's factory-installed TowCommand System. The system fully integrates the trailer brakes, anti-lock brakes (ABS), TorqShift automatic transmission and tow/haul mode into one safe, capable towing platform. Functional enhancements include a foldable bed extender, which improves load utility when in place and stays out of the way when not needed, and a spray-in bedliner. Accessing the bed is made easier – and safer – by the why-didn't-they-think-of-this-before tailgate step option. And for those venturing off into the Great Unknown, an optional navigation system should get you there and – we hope – back again. Upscale options for 2012 include available heated/cooling 10-way power-operated front seats and lockable under-seat storage.
Ford offers two new engine choices for work, play or any combination of the two. The base powerplant is the new 6.2-liter gasoline V8 that features an iron block and aluminum heads, and is also E85 compatible. Those needing more power can opt for the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel that infuses the Super Duty with both "tow" and "go" capability. Both engines are teamed to a heavy-duty TorqShift 6-speed automatic featuring Ford's SelectShift manual shift control. Super Duty trucks with the diesel engine can be fitted with Live Drive Power Take Off (PTO). This setup allows the transmission to power auxiliary equipment such as a snowplow, a truck lift or cement mixer any time the engine is running.

"I currently live in my 2008 Jayco Designer model 35RLTS its a 39 ft 5th wheel dry weight is 15,900 lbs loaded weight is a bit North of 18,00 lbs. Before I purchased the 2014 F250 I still have (will be selling) a 2002 ext cab xlt F250 4wd 7.3L Diesel. The 02 runs fine but its getting some age to it and now that I sold my house and retired all the way I plan on wintering in Florida and beginning in late Spring beginning a tour of North America so I wanted a truck I could depend on without thought. Comparing the two 02 & 14 trucks is a no brainer, anybody that drives and operates the Ford F250s specifically for hauling large 5th wheels knows that Ford had it right with the F250 up to 2003 then hit a large gap of 9 years during which Ford came out with the 6.2L and the 6.0L diesels made a lot of folks unhappy, compared to the now legendary 7.3L the gap diesels as I call them were left wanting in many performance and mileage aspects. Put it this way my 02 7.3L F250 will sell for $4,000 more than a 2008 F250 with the 6.2L. In 2011 Ford returned to the top of the heap once again with the 6.7L diesel. My 2014 F250 XLT Crew Cab 6sp AT with a 6ft 8in bed out performs, gets better fuel economy not just a little bit better BUT by a wide margin is better than the 7.3L and literally smokes any F250 made between 04 thru 10. Power is phenomenal @ 75mph with cruise on I am only pulling 1900 rpms compared to the 02 7.3L which pulls 2150 rpms at same, mileage at freeway speeds is 15mpg on the 7.3 and 18.5 mpg on 6.7. Pulling my 18,000 lbs or 5th wheel the 7.3 gets 13.4 mpg the 6.7 gets 15.9 mpg. Acceleration between the 2 follows the same curve the 6.7L is like driving a sports car compared to the 7.3L AND the 7.3L is chipped for performance the 6.7 is factory. What I am attempting to say is that since 2011 and newer Ford has made up for its sins (finally) in ditching the 7.3L and its now ok for all the previous 7.3L enthuiasts to UPGRADE and it is just that a remarkable upgrade."

"2013 F-250, 6.2 gas, 53,000 miles, bought new, best truck I ever owned EXCEPT....yellow engine light comes on, engine shuts down. The computer ceased to recognize the gasoline. Dealer tested gas and it was perfect. Have the FORD PREMIUM extended warranty and FORD would not cover the repair. The Ford dealer "performed adaptive fuel relearning procedures". Short version, the dealer reprogrammed the computer to accept the gasoline and I paid the bill. The Ford dealer told me they just had a 26,000 vehicle that did the same thing and FORD would not cover the repair even though it was under the 36,000 warranty. SELLING.....Can't trust it and its going to do it again! I did call Ford and they confirmed they would not pay for that reprogramming."

"I broke 13 thousand miles and my mileage increased from 18 mpg to 19+ at 70 mph, the average is at 18.4 mpg up 0.6 mpg (I do a lot of up and down hilly terrain driving)(on level highway easy 20+ mpg). If it continues like this my mileage will increase quite a bit once it is broken in. I have been impressed with the mileage and the reliability of this 2014 long bed, 6.7L, 8K lb. truck. My only problem has been when the engine light came on and the dealer replaced(2) EGT sensors, this is a common problem and Ford should have a Tech Service Bullentin to replace all of these sensors, I believe there are 4 of them. My only add-ons are a K&N air filter and reverse camera."

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Here is the latest cool comic book moment in our year-long look at one cool comic book moment a day (in no particular order whatsoever)! Here's the archive of the moments posted so far!
Today we continue our look at what is most likely the greatest Daredevil story ever told, Born Again, by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. It might last longer than a week, as there are a lot of cool moments, and they just keep coming with greater frequency as the series continues its slow build towards the ending.
In Daredevil #231, we see a rejuvenated Matt Murdock slowly begin his ascent back to being a hero again.
First, he rescues Ben Urich (and Ben's wife) from an attack by Kingpin's enforcer (that's how good Born Again is – the scene where Matt saves them is awesome, but I don't see how I have enough room to feature it).
Later, he shows up to foil a plot by the Kingpin to have a psycho in a Daredevil costume murder Foggy Nelson (Kingpin doesn't know he has a chance for two birds with one stone, as Karen Page was staying with Foggy at the time).
Beyond a memorable psycho villain, this scene is also marked by some great storytelling by Mazzucchelli and, of course, that dramatic last page, which I would easily count as "the" moment here, as we see that while Karen Page might need Matt Murdock, Matt Murdock sure as hell needs Karen Page just as much!
I was never a huge fan of Karen's, but between seeing how messed up David depicted her in these pages, her desperate attempt at redemption, and Matt's last minute save, I couldn't help but want for them to stay together. But, alas: Karen. Elektra. Heather. Glorianna. What IS it with all of Matt's women, anyway?
Didn't feel bad for that goon coaching the "evil" DD, though. My favorite scene in this issue remains Ben's discovery of his wife just after we see the nurse knocking on her door. Matt's arrival was just the icing on the cake there. Man, did I feel for Ben in this one. And it wasn't over yet by far.
I don't know if you're finished with Born Again as there's two more issues left.
The end of that storyline is also really good too with Captain America guest-starring, and I normally don't like CA. Miller really used CA well in this storyline.
I almost forgot about "Verbal" there. I can't remember offhand what his name was, but rereading it made me realise how ridiculous (deliberately) some of his dialogue was.
Personally, I like "cleaned up" Karen. I believe it was DeMatteis who put them back together? I never liked how Karen Page was taken out of the picture. DD's life doesn't need get turned upside down every 6 months.
Is that the same guy who once describe Daredevil as being "like a man repossessed?"
one of the haunting moments of the story . for Karen falling so low that she risks a bullet for her junk only to finaly say no more and matt letting her cry in his arms. showing why they belonged together but not ment to be .
I have to congratulate you on an outstanding job – I know you had said earlier that you were struggling with how to fit Born Again into this format and it's been perfect so far. I recently re-read the issues covered in today and yesterday's installments and couldn't work out how you'd do it, but your re-presentation of both issues has greatly enhanced my appreciation.
Despite having read and re-read this series A LOT, I had never really noticed how each issue ends with a redemptive moment until you highlighted it here. Until yesterday I had never really noticed the detail of the conversation happening around Ben Urich in the Bugle bullpen, and today I was somehow struck for the first time by DD's amazing move with the icicle and that this is the moment where karen gives up heroin (which is obviously unbelievable, but I guess not in a world where a blind man can target a gunman with a billy club with pinpoint accuracy).
Thanks for this.
I don't really see that moment as Karen "giving up" heroin. I see it as her being so shocked by Matt's appearance that she forgets about the needle.
It's more like she's giving up (or wanting to) one dependency for another. Throughout the storyline she was fixated on finding Matt so he could :save" her. Seeing her protector momentarily gives her the "fix" she needs.
My favorite scene from that issue was the pages immediately following, where Ben Urich runs through all the dead and arrested people at the seen, panel by panel, ending with the realization that Matt is back.
I'm really going to have to buy this now…
I really would like to know: with all the outpouring of love for Born Again, what do people think of the story that was later written to… not undo, that's not what I'd like to say… not complete… follow up on it? Close it? Last Rites, where Daredevil finally gets his life back and deposes the Kingpin. Good? Bad? Indifferent?
Matt kicking his way through door is also pretty awesome too.

Released: Apr 01st, 2006
Running Time: 108
Director: Christian Knight
Company: Sin City Teen
Cast: Barrett Blade, Seth Dickens, Kina Kai, Nick Manning, Trista Tanner, Katie Ray, Kirsten Price, Billy Glide, Johnny Thrust (I), Gina Austin
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
A nasty argument is defused when Gina Austin appears in the doorway wearing pigtails (our winsome theme), lighting the fire in Nick Manning, who commences hard pussy and ass reaming. I heart romance.
Strange red lighting in Kirsten and Barrett's scene makes our players' flesh look horrifically sunburned, but the fucking is pretty hot, especially when he fucks her while standing up and holding her on his cock. Another decent-quality fuck fest that chronicles the slutification of babes fresh out of high school.
Retailing: No frills barely legals.

text: I've noticed on my install that for mobile devices my last columns are not being reset to 100% width. Example, my one_third_last column still has the 30.66% width while the other two have 100% (on my mobile device). Shouldn't this be included with the 100% widths in the responsive CSS? Thanks!
