Theatrical Trailer
With this season of Gilmore Girls, creative forces Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino finally found a way to make the Stars Hollow-Yale dichotomy work perfectly, as each location still stood alone but had decided repercussions on the other. Gone were freshman-year anxieties for Rory and in their place were more adult romantic concerns as well as a class consciousness that, for the first serious time, found Rory on the side of the haves and not the have-nots. While the Rory-Dean drama played itself out nicely and succinctly, it was the devilish Logan who lit a fire underneath this Gilmore girl; the episode "You Jump, I Jump, Jack" was a lovely twist on the '30s romantic comedies that found rich folk at play with words and deeds. Bledel started to fully blossom as Rory grew from ingénue to leading lady, and she was matched peerlessly by Graham, whose passion, anger, stubbornness, and ravishing beauty all came to a head in "Wedding Bell Blues," which featured her two greatest nemeses: her mother and Rory's dad, Christopher (David Sutcliffe). The show's trademark eccentricities were all in place--including a Pulp Fiction party and an elementary school production of Fiddler on the Roof, among other things--but it mined the best drama of its run with the season's last four episodes, which found Rory's confidence shaken to the core. To give any of the proceedings away would spoil the drama, but suffice it to say you will be glued to the TV for this season's final four hours; it's Gilmore Girls at its phenomenal best. --Mark Englehart

— Former World No. 1 Tiger Woods has been drawn to play alongside twice major winner Angel Cabrera of Argentina and second-ranked Swede Henrik Stenson in the first round of the British Open on Thursday.
The trio will tee off at 9:04 a.m. local time at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, the R&A (Royal and Ancient) organizers said on Monday.
Woods, who is now down at number seven in the rankings, is making only his second competitive outing since undergoing back surgery in March.
The 38-year-old American, the game's leading drawcard, missed the cut on his comeback in the Quicken Loans National event in Maryland at the end of last month.
Woods has won 14 majors...

Wanted to get some feedback on my new theme for CarInsider.net.
Please let me know what you think.
Wanted to get some feedback on my new theme for CarInsider.net.
Please let me know what you think.
looks cool to me.
i did this wp theme
i think dates should be added to each post. but my friend pointed out that if you dont have dates, and you lag in making new posts, then people wont know that your posts are old. unless the recognize the content is old.
i would move the archives section below the categories.
and i like the table styling. did you do it yourself?
It's a beautiful design. But one word of caution.
At least one of your entries contains an image and write up from another site that is not referenced.
It may or may not be copyrighted. In any case credit should have been given.
A couple of comments. The title of some of your posts are a little long for the space you've given to display them and thus they are word-wrapping on top of each other. So you might want to bring down the size of your post titles to make it fit on a single line.
Secondly, your use of background color change for links is a little freaky. :) I think a simple underline would be a lot more elegant. In it's current form, I thought for a moment that I had Google Highlight on, but then realized that I didn't..
Good call on the word wrap Cypher. Do you have javascript turned off or flash blocked? Because the sIFR is supposed to size everything correctly. When I turn off javascript I see the results you described. I will need to work on that. Thanks.
I have JS on but see the cramped headlines too (FF 1.0.6 on WinXP). I would suggest that you center the content inside a fixed width block, right now it stays on the left except a few elements like the gray bar just below the header span 100% of the wdith. Definitely need more content ;) what guy doesn't love car stuff?
Yeah, I'm not too crazy about the highlight for links either. It draws attention to it, and away from the rest of the article, and isn't obvious that it is a link, just some highlighted text.
Also, a background would be nice. While not something most people would notice, it stands out like a sore thumb to me.
(Fx 1.0.6 WinXP, the titles look OK to me ??)
billsaythis - do you not have flash installed or have some sort of flash blocker? I hope that is the case otherwise there is something weird going on.
In fact I have Flashblock installed and running. Though I can't see why that would interfere with a normal blog site.
The headings use sIFR, which is an inline flash replacement. It uses javascript to replace the text with flash so that you can use nicer looking fonts. But, I need to style it so it doesn't look awful if no flash is present.

Scripture's Role in the Immigration Debate
Published on Fri, Oct 16, 2009
For many years now, religious leaders and diverse faith groups have contributed much to the ongoing immigration debate. Grounded in faith and good works, the faith community has been and continues to be steadfast in their outreach to immigrants through a myriad of support and service programs, faith rallies, and support of those in need. That being said, there are restrictionist groups who would rather sully the debate by co-opting faith-based terminology and tease anti-immigrant agendas out of scripture.

A city government in Okinawa has asked the Defense Ministry to conduct environmental studies on around a dozen metal drums found at a local U.S. base, city officials said Thursday.
The Okinawa Defense Bureau is consulting on the matter with the U.S. military, the officials and other sources said, as the military's permission is required for such studies.
The Ginowan municipal government's board of education found the drums, which U.S. forces are suspected of having abandoned at the Marine Corps' Camp Foster last fall, while looking for buried cultural properties on the base with the permission of the U.S. military.
No health problems have been reported by residents living around the base, but the city has suspended its work due to concern about environmental pollution, the sources said.
The Okinawa Defense Bureau is currently looking into what is contained in the drums, they said.
In early 2002, the neighboring town of Chatan found more than 100 metal drums containing tar oil at the base's former shooting range, which had been returned.
Since June 2013, scores of metal drums with the name of Dow Chemical Co. that produced the defoliant Agent Orange during the Vietnam War have been found in a soccer field formerly owned by the U.S. military in the city of Okinawa, which Camp Foster also straddles.
The U.S. and Japanese governments held their first working-level talks in Washington last month on concluding a new accord concerning environmental conservation and research within U.S. base premises, separate from the status of forces agreement.

Recent work at BNL on electron acceleration using the Inverse Free-Electron Laser (IFEL) has considered a low-energy, high-gradient, multi-stage linear accelerator. Experiments are planned at BNL's Accelerator Test Facility using its 50-MeV linac and 100-GW CO2 laser. We have built and tested a fast-excitation wiggler magnet with constant field, tapered period, and overall length of 47 cm. Vanadium-Permendur ferromagnetic laminations are stacked in alternation with copper, eddy-current-induced, field reflectors to achieve a 1.4-T peak field with a 4-mm gap and a typical period of 3 cm. The laser beam will pass through the wiggler in a low-loss, dielectriccoated stainless-steel, rectangular waveguide. The attenuation and transverse mode has been measured in waveguide sections of various lengths, with and without the dielectric. Results of 1-D and 3-D IFEL simulations, including wiggler errors, are presented foe several cases: the initial, single-module experiment with ΔE=39 MeV, a four-module design giving ΔE=100 MeV in a total length of 2 m, and an eight-module IFEL with ΔE=210 MeV

January Jones
January Jones in MiH The Roadtrip Jeans in Honeyboy
A newly red head January Jones was seen running errands with her son Xander. It looks as though January both dyed her hair and got extensions, I'm assuming it is for a movie role. She looks so different to me!
January is definitely loyal to MiH and this time she wore a pair of MiH The Roadtrip jeans in Honeyboy with a tee and sandals. January has worn a lot of different MiH styles and seems to prefer the higher waist. I think these are one of the more flattering cuts on her, but I think they'd be cuter if she unrolled the cuffs.
January Jones in AG Adriano Goldschmied Zip Jeans in White
January Jones was spotted arriving at Barney's to do some shopping in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of AG Zip Jeans in White. It's been a while since these were spotted out. I still think they are a really cool pair. It is also nice to see January in a pair of fitted jeans. She has been into the boyfriend style lately.
What do you guys think of January's new red hair? I actually quite like it. I find her to look a lot less severe with it. She somehow does not look tense like she was when she was blonde. At least that is what it looks like in the last few candids I have seen of her. You can click here to purchase Ag Jeans from Singer22.
January Jones in MiH
January Jones puts gas in her car before heading on her way to run errands. Earlier in the week, January attended the MET Ball wearing a stunning yellow Versace dress.
While back in LA, she wore another pair of MiH jeans. She switched it up and wore a pair of Tokyo Stripy pants, which are a more relaxed slim leg pair. The stripe pattern is sort of reminiscent of seersucker and it makes these great for summer. You can buy them online from MiH for $194.
January Jones in MiH
MiH seems to be January Jones' go-to when it comes to jeans! She wore quite a few different pairs while she was busy promoting Mad Men in New York City. She recently wore a pair while grabbing lunch at Le Pain Quotidien in LA. She wore the Monaco cropped jeans in Conch with a simple blouse and an interesting pair of oxfords.
Similarly to the last time she wore these, I think the outfit would look a lot better with a different pair of shoes. I think the heavy shoe looks awkward and isn't as flattering on her. They'd look much better with a simple pair of flats or fun heels. Buy MiH online at MiH-Jeans.com.

I made this as written except for using a whole stick of unsalted butter and baking for 7 minutes at 350 degrees in a preheated oven. They turned out beautifully! Thanks for sharing!
Love these cookies! I'm so glad I can use this recipe, as most lace cookies call for just a tiny amount of heavy cream (which I usually don't have on hand). I made this without nuts. These are so buttery and crisp and delicious. This is a keeper, thank you so much!
The best!

By Maren
Please watch this first:
Author's Note-
The point of this wiki is not to debate whether or not this movie is real or fake, sorry if the title is misleading, but to debate whether the plot is plausible. Although I have not seen this movie, nor do I plan to, I am basing my topic on the assumption that the tourists in the commerical you just saw are being attacked by mutated forms of the victims of Chernobyl. I apologize ahead of time if this is not in fact the plot of the movie but it shall remain as my topic whether I am right or not.
1.) The Chernobyl Explosion:
The abandoned town that the tourists visit is in fact a real place, as is the nuclear power plant explosion they discussed. The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was located in the Ukrainian town of Pripyat. However, during the time of the disaster, Ukraine was part of the USSR leading to the common misconception that the plant was located inside of Russia.
On April 26, 1986 there was a sudden power surge in reactor number four of the Chernobyl power plant. When an emergency shutdown was attempted, another power surge occured causing a reactor vessel to rupture and set off a series of explosions. These explosions then caused the graphite moderator, a device used to cause the nuclear chain reaction required to produced nuclear power, to ignite. The resulting fire sent a huge amount of radiactive smoke into the air which would later drift through large parts of the western Soviet Union and eastern Europe.
The citizens of Pripyat were evacutated immediatley, however, many suspect the number of deaths caused by the explosion to be around 4000. This number includes the people who died directly from the explosion as well as those who developed different types of cancer as a result of their exposure to the radiation.
Reactor number four was completely covered in a concrete "sarcophagus" in an attempt to avoid the spread of more radioactive substances.
Chernobyl Nuclear plant, post explosion
2.) Chernobyl Today:
The Chernobyl Nuclear plant was still active until it was officially shut down in December of 2000. The city of Pripyat remains completely abandoned.
3.) Mutations:
Mutations in both humans and animals occured after the explosion. Nearly 300 animals on the farms surrounding the area were born with deformed skulls or missing limbs. There were also many abnormal human births in the years following the disaster.
Mutated frog(s)
Alright, so far we have seen that there are some grains of truth within the plot of the Chernobyl Diaries. There was in fact a large nuclear explosion at the Chernobyl power plant and the city was, and too this day still is, abandoned. We also know that there mutations in both people and animals as a result of the radiation put into the air. So I guess the movie is pretty much a documentary right?
1.) There is absolutley no one left at Chernobyl
Although the town of Pripyat is no longer occupied, the power plant still houses a small number of Ukrainian scientists who monitor the plant for the Ukrainian goverment.
2.) You can visit anytime you want
The area around Chernobyl is still highly radioactive. Today, scientists can only visit the area two weeks per year and must wear protective clothing to avoid contamination.
3.) You will be attacked by flesh eating mutants
As far as I know, there has never been a case of radiation poisoning that has led to superhuman speed or cannabalism. The mutations caused by Chernobyl have been limited to extra limbs, cancer, and skull abnormalities.
Victim of Chernobyl radiation
{For more information about the effects of radiation on DNA please visit Caroline's awesome nuclear wiki page!}
As disapointing as it may be, it appears to me that the Chernobyl Diaries is filled with more fiction than fact. While the consequences of the explosion are terrible, none of them include being attacked by mutants while being an "extrem tourist". Thanks for reading and please post any comments or questions you may have!
Special thanks to...
The cast of the Chernobly Diaries (pictured below)
It's almost disturbing how much radioactive energy must have been in that reactor since the release of only about five percent of its core (along with a fraction of the xenon, iodine, and caesium isotopes that were in the reactor) into the atmosphere was enough to cause everything you described. A steam explosion carrying radiation from the core, some radiation-filled fires from fuel and superheated graphite, and there's a disaster. How terrible that such a huge amount of damage came from a simple test when the automatic shutdown was disabled. Several of the delayed victims probably envied the two workers who died immediately in the explosions. -Jillian

My last car charger was a universal Verizon-branded charger that I paid waaay too much for. This works just as well at 1/3 the price and site to store is so easy! I paid more than the minimum price I could find online which is the reason for the 4/5 on value, but the stress saving is worth it. Works great with my Droid 2 even though it's not officially on the compatibility list.
I bought these on sale$29.99 down to $10. Got 2 of them, 1 for each vehicle. They even light up. Sure beats the $30.00 that Verizon wanted. I usually charge my phone at home, but I now
know that I have security if I forget and am out. That usually happens to my husband. He forgets tp charge phone aned it dies when he's out. He's happy that I finally got him his own car charger. Used site to store and got them within a week of ordering. Thanks again Walmart. Good
products, great price and good delivery time.
Do not buy cheap knock off brands because you do get what you pay for ... but this car charger has two main thing that is very beneficial first its an original product not some blah blah cheap brand that will last two months 2nd its a rapid charger so within two hours of charging i got 100% and it doesn't overcharge my battery so it wont cause harm to my battery pack on my cellphone . buy it with your eyes closed. it very worth it .
OEM charger, less than one third the cost of retail or cell provider stores. Works perfectly, was shipped and delivered quickly. Thanks to WalMart for another example of providing excellent service and product availability!!
This is one of the few things I like from Motorola. It has an luminant MOT logo on it.
By me being a retired career Firefighter I have used Motorola radio products for years as a reliable name brand. I bought this DC charger as a replacement and I must say that I am impressed with the plug in handle. When you look at the charger along it looks normal however, when you plug it in the M on the clear handle lights up a to a cool blue. Way to go Motorola.
I wanted the name brand Motorola charger for my new Motorola Moto G phone. The device looks slightly different from the provided photo, but it works perfectly fine with my phone, and does the job I needed it to do. No complaints.
Way better and cheaper than the no name aftermarket ones or the super expensive verizon branded ones. Charges at full AC rate not usb rate. Love the blue lightup moto symbol.
Use with my motorola electrify m. Charges fast!

This invention relates to the fixation of fractures in long bones, especially mid bone (diaphyseal) fractures, by intramedullary support with a plurality of resilient pins.
Intramedullary rods have been used for many years to fix fractures in the middle portion of long bones. In this technique, one or more metal rods are driven into the medullary canal of the broken bone, and through the fracture zone, leaving the rods anchored in sound bone at each end. Thus, the fracture is supported in correct position for healing. This technique has shown many benefits over alternatives such as bone plates: the patient can be mobilized and ambulated much earlier; the surgery is usually less traumatic; there is less device failure; and the bone does not suffer an excess of stress protection. Over this period, many different intramedullary rod forms have been developed, but all are basically of two types: single rods or multiple rods. Examples of single rods are those of Kuntscher, Harris (U.S. Pat. No. 4,135,507) and Halloran (U.S. Pat. No. 3,709,218). Typical multiple rod fixations are those of Ender & Ender (U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,470), Rush (U.S. Pat. No. 2,579,996), Zickel, and Herzog (U.S. Pat. No. 2,998,007).
Multiple rod use has advantages and some disadvantages over the single rod. For example, the use of a number of small diameter rods allows a precise fit in the fractured bone, but they may not impart sufficient stability for some fractures.
The intramedullary bone fracture fixation device of this invention comprises several resilient small diameter rods (pins) held apart over substantially their whole length and in a desired arrangement by a flexible core element. The length of the pin-core combination will vary according to the application. It is selected to be long enough to extend longitudinally through the fracture zone and into the medullary canal of sound bone on both sides. It should extend an appreciable distance beyond the fracture zone on both sides to stabilize the fracture. The pins and core element may be made in different cross sectional sizes so that their assembled cross sections can accurately fit in medullary canals of different diameters, and non-circular cross-sections.
Preferably, there are longitudinal grooves in the core sides into which the pins are placed and held against compact bones at the periphery of the medullary canal. The grooves are less than one pin diameter deep so that pin sides will project out as longitudinal ridges into cancellous bone in the intramedullary space and against the endosteal cortex. These ridges provide rotational stabilty through their resistance to torsion. Additional resistance to rotation can be achieved by having the distal ends of the pins extend beyond the core into undisturbed cancellous bone.
This new intramedullary fixation device provides a combination of advantages not found in previous devices. The components have simple forms and thus are of relatively low cost. With only a few different diameter pins and cores, a combined cross section can be created to closely fit a wide range of medullary canal diameters. This good fit ensures firm anchorage of the pins against the compact bone. Little or no reaming is required for its implacement and space is preserved between the device and the compact bone to maintain vascularity.
It is an important aspect of this invention that the core be flexible relative to the pins to maintain, in the assembled device, the resilience of the pins. It has been found desirable for rapid and strong healing that a fracture not be over protected from physiological stress. Therefore, a fracture fixation device should permit transfer of some stress to the fracture zone by deforming slightly under load, but it should be resilient to spring back into correct position when the stress is removed. The device of this invention also provides for beneficial axial impaction of the fracture, because the device has low resistance to axial movement (low axial stiffness).

The intramedullary bone fracture fixation device of this invention is a combination of resilient, long pins and a flexible core which holds the pins apart in a desired arrangement. The preferred embodiments uses metal pins, equally spaced from each other by a plastic core.
The pins are the chief stress bearing members and must be stiff without being rigid. They must be resilient to return to their original position when bent. They are preferably made in the form of long thin rods of circular cross section and from a body compatible resilient metal. The desired combination of stiffness, resilience and corrosion resistance is satisfactorily achieved by pins made from titanium alloys, preferably Ti-6Al-4V. However, other materials can be used, such as stainless steels, cobalt-chromium alloys and fiber reinforced composites. FIG. 1 shows a side view of a preferred form of pin. The pin 11 has rounded ends 12. A typical pin is 2.7 millimeters in diameter and 165. millimeters in length, but useful pins can range from about 2-4.5 millimeters in diameter and about 75-250 millimeters in length depending on the size and length of the fractured bone.
The preferred form for a core is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. This core 13 is of generally circular cross section, but with four longitudinal grooves 14 equally spaced around its periphery. These grooves serve to guide the pins into place on insertion and to hold them in an approximately parallel position to support the fracture during healing. The longitudinal core grooves can have various cross-section forms, but must give lateral support to the pins and have a depth of less than one pin diameter. This shallow depth ensures that the sides of the pins will project radially out from the core surface as longitudinal ridges. To aid insertion of the core into the medullary canal of a bone, the distal end of the core is tapered to a blunt point 15. A typical core is 8.3 mm. in diameter with four longitudinal grooves each about 3 mm. wide and about 1.4 mm. deep. However, cores will range from about 5-12 mm. diameter and about 70-230 mm. in length. FIG. 10 shows a side view of the FIGS. 2 and 3 type core holding four pins, as the device might be assembled in the medullary canal of a long bone. In this preferred form of the device, the pins are slightly longer than the core. Only two pins can be seen in this side view.
While the presently preferred core has a generally circular cross-section and is particularly useful for fixing fractures of the femur, different cross-sections such as triangular or square, might be advantageous for use in special situations. A square core might have a cross-section very similar to that of FIG. 3. A triangular core might be chosen for fixing the tibia and other bones having approximately triangular cross-section medullary canals. Such a core would support three pins and could have the generally triangular form 23 shown as an end view in FIG. 9. In any case, the core must be flexible. This aids in its insertion into the bone as shown in FIG. 8 and, when in place, prevents the pin-core combination from being so rigid that the combination acts like a solid rod fixation device. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is the preferred core material, in part because of its good lubricant quality with metal pins, but other materials can be used, such as polypropylene, polysulfone, polyacetal or fiber reinforced composites.
A device according to this invention is especially useful for fixing fractures of the femur shaft. FIG. 7 illustrates a trochanteric insertion of this device to stabilize a fracture near the proximal end of the shaft of femur 16. A hole 20 is opened in the intercondylar notch beside the greater trochanter, giving access to the medullary canal 18. The canal may be probed across the fracture zone 19 to make insertion of the core 13 easier. Infrequently, it may be desirable to ream the canal before inserting the core. With the fracture properly aligned, the core is inserted through hole 20 and driven into the medullary canal 18 until it extends beyond the fracture zone 19. Pins 11 are then driven in to be essentially co-extensive with the core, guided into place by the core grooves. Normally, the driven ends of the pins and core are not forced all the way into the bone. Enough of each is left exposed so that their ends can be gripped when removal is indicated.
As can be seen from FIGS. 4 and 10, the pins are held firmly in their peripheral positions over essentially their entire length between core 13 and compact bone 17. It is preferable to select pins slightly longer than the core, and drive them into undisturbed cancellous bone beyond the distal end of the core. This provides increased rotational stability.
Pins and cores are made in a range of diameters. For a given use, pin and core diameters are selected so that the sides of the pins in the assembled device will fit firmly against the compact layer 17 of bone 16. Pins of different diameters will frequently be required in a given application to custom fit the assembled device into the patient's fractured bone. FIG. 6 shows how an elliptical medullary canal can be fitted by use of two small diameter pins 11 oppositely placed to two larger diameter pins 31. Unlike other multiple pin fixations, there can be no contact between the metal pins to chafe and produce metal debris.
FIG. 8 illustrates a condylar insertion into a femur to stabilize a fracture near the distal end of the shaft. In this case, a hole 20 is made into the side of the femur above a distal condyle. Insertion of the device follows the same procedure as described in connection with FIG. 7, except that the inherent flexibility of the core and pins is brought into play during insertion through the laterally placed hole as shown.
More accurate placement of a core is possible if a guide pin is first driven through the reduced fracture zone and if a cannulated core is is used. In this case, the core is inserted over the guide pin with less chance of disturbing the fracture. One form of cannulated core is shown as an end view in FIG. 5. A longitudinal bore 22 extends completely through cannulated core 13 so that the core can be driven into place over a guide pin. The guide pin is later removed.
While the utility of this device has been illustrated for fixing diaphyseal fractures of the femur, it is not limited to that use. Similar fractures of other long bones, such as the tibia and the humerus, are equally fixable. Essentially, only selection of appropriate pin and core diameters and lengths will be different.
A major advantage of this invention is increased stability of the fracture during healing. The stress bearing pins are held at the periphery of the medullary canal, where they can best resist torsional and flexural loads. A further advantage is that the core causes the pins to cooperate in equally resisting flexural stress from all angles. Previous multiple pin fixations, for example, those of Rush or Enders, do not offer this same stability.
Another advantage of this invention is that the pin sides extend out from the core surface leaving vascular tissue between core and compact bone to allow continued near normal vascularity.
The core holds the pins in a desired pattern over essentially their entire length. Without a core, the intramedullary tissue being relatively soft, multiple thin pins or rods cannot be prevented from shifting position under transverse, torsional and flexural stresses. Such shifting results in a less stable fixation and can result in malunion of the fracture. Thus, the core is an important feature of this invention. However, the core must be flexible relative to the pins, and not interfere with the beneficial slight springiness the pins impart to the assembled device. A relatively inflexible core would result in an assembly that would function very little different from a single large diameter rod. A single large diameter rod fixation can provide rigidity, but, in the context of fracture fixation, rigidity is not synonymous with stability. Stability implies sufficient control of transverse, torsion and flexural stress to prevent displacement of fracture ends, but not such complete control as to eliminate those stresses below a level beneficial to healing.
The fixation device of this invention has relatively low resistance to axial movement in the bone. Therefore, it allows some axial impaction of the fracture, which also aids the healing process.
This invention has been described in the form of the presently preferred embodiment. A few alternate design features have been suggested. However, it can be appreciated that many changes in design can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, different numbers of pins might be used; the pins could be of non-circular cross-sections; the cores could be slightly tapered to hold pins in a non-parallel configuration; the distal end shapes of pins and cores could be differently formed. Consequently, the invention is to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Even though most Minnesotans buckle up, 587 people died and 9,739 were injured in the last five years on Minnesota roads as a result of not being belted. That's why nearly 400 Minnesota law enforcement agencies are adding extra patrols during the Click It or Ticket campaign May 19-June 1, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety (DPS/OTS)
"There are far too many preventable deaths and life-altering injuries occurring on our roads," said Donna Berger, OTS director. "In the next two weeks, you'll see and hear our seat belt safety messages throughout the state. Buckle up – it's the law and it's your best defense in case of a crash."
A record-number of Minnesotans use their seat belts (94.8 percent), but a significant number (41.3 percent) of motor vehicle occupants who were killed in the last five years (2009-2013) were not wearing seat belts. In 2013 alone, 94 people died and 1,668 were injured who were not buckled up.
On average, three of four child seats are not used correctly. Included in the 2009-2013 statistics are eight children under age 8 who were killed and another 1,105 injured because they were not properly restrained in car seats.
Data from 2009-2013 also shows:
• More than 40 percent (237 of 587) of unbelted fatalities were between 15 to 29 years old.
• Nearly 64 percent (190 of 298) of drinking drivers killed were not wearing a seat belt.
• Nearly 44 percent (474 of 1,084) of those killed in greater Minnesota crashes were unbelted compared to 33 percent (113 of 339) in the seven-county metro area.
Minnesota Seat Belt Law
Minnesota's seat belt law is a primary offense, meaning drivers and passengers in all seating positions must be buckled up or in the correct child restraint. A seat belt ticket can cost between $25 to more than $100.
Page 2 of 2 - Minnesota Child Passenger Safety and Booster Seat Law
Children under age 13 should always ride in the back seat. A child who is both under age 8 and shorter than 4 feet 9 inches is required to be fastened in a child safety seat or booster seat that meets federal safety standards. Under this law, a child cannot use a seat belt alone until they are age 8 or 4 feet 9 inches tall – whichever comes first. It is recommended to keep a child in a booster based on their height, rather than their age. Learn more about child passenger safety and the booster seat law.

There are many European cars that can be considered very fuel efficient. However, have you ever tried to put them on a list and finding out how efficient they really are? If you follow us after the jump, you will find that list, which shows Europe's 15 most fuel-efficient vehicles.
Interestingly, the list doesn't include just city cars, either. On it, you'll find subcompacts as well as compacts. Unsurprisingly, the truth is that you'll find that most of them are diesels which, thanks to the upcoming Euro V rules, now include DPF (diesel particulate filters) as standard. Perhaps even more unsurprisingly, the Smart CDI came out on top.

I have my new theme almost looking the way I want on the main page (haven't worked on the other views yet). My plain HTML mockup looked perfect, but when I uploaded the theme (with all the PHP stuff) only some of the CSS is working.
Use the theme switcher in the sidebar to select "Boxed Apart 1024"
The layout is all fine, and so are the background and border colors. But the text and link colors in the header are not correct, and none of the fonts are correct, and I've lost the list styling and the monthly archives styling.
Does anyone see what I'm missing that is causing these problems?
You can view the CSS here:

Jack Tormoehlen was tired of being a Hoosier Hills Conference runner-up.
By his count, the Seymour senior had finished as HHC runner-up as an individual once and with the team four times in cross-country and as an individual three times in track — a total of eight second-place finishes.
So Tormoehlen was understandably elated when he was able to capture his first conference title Thursday night in the 3,200 meters. He was especially happy after having finished only third in the 1,600 — an event he was favored to win.

A chunk of Act II, with Fracci and Nureyev, is on Nureyev's "I am a Dancer" video which, at least at one time, was commercially available (I haven't checked recently).

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Sep 01st, 1998
Running Time: 36
Company: DomFetish Productions
Cast: Persephone, Catherine, Mistress Ashley, Slave David
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Specialty
Renters wanting something a bit more hardcore and a tad lengthier might be disappointed.
An urge to explore her submissive side leads Persephone to Mistress Ashley and her house of slaves. Slave Contract's high point is seeing Persephone's dress cut to tatters, leaving only a quivering body in a tight corset. Unfortunately, that is the high point. The action is minimal and with a short half-hour plus running time and two unused slaves, this seems to be an excellent opening to a longer film, but not enough on its own.

The Watson Twins
Chandra and Leigh Watson, genuine twins originally from Louisville, initially leapt to attention via Rabbit Fur Coat, their 2006 collaboration with Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis. An EP followed, and now there's Fire Songs (Vanguard), their full-length debut. Straddling folk, country, pop, and rock without an apparent particular allegiance to any of them, their canny synthesis almost sounds like a thesis for contemporary rootsy pop. Behind the Watsons' close harmonies is an atmospheric wash full of subtle hooks and scattered touches of psychedelia, pedal steel, jangly folk-rock electric guitar, and even a touch of pop noir punctuated with horns. And their knowing cover of the Cure's "Just Like Heaven" fits like an organic pea in the pod. Brooklyn-based Tim Fite has railed against consumerist greed, given away an entire album for free, dabbled in hip hop and folk (sometimes at the same time), and sampled albums he finds in bargain bins. So it's not surprising that his latest, Fair Ain't Fair (Anti-), contains all that and more. Its sprawling tracks range from what sound like drunken nursery rhymes to chamber folk played by Appalachian hip-hoppers, along with massed vocal harmonies that sound like the Beach Boys at a hootenanny in the Bronx. With his clever wordplay loosely dealing with consequence and remorse, catchy melodies strewn through quirky textures and contexts, and cut-and-paste approach, Fite comes across like a kindergarten savant with visions of the apocalypse. 21+.

Many vertebrates grow up in the company of same or different-age siblings, and relations among them can be expected to significantly influence individual life histories and the development of individual morphological, physiological, and behavioral phenotypes. Although studies in birds still dominate and have stimulated most theoretical considerations, the increasing number of mammalian studies promises to broaden our understanding of this complex field by enabling interesting comparisons with the rather different bird system. It therefore seems timely to bring together recent studies of sibling relations in mammals and to demonstrate what these can offer in the way of fresh insights. In this brief review, intended to accompany a series of papers on a diverse range of mammals, we outline the current state of sibling research in mammals, comparing it to the better studied birds. Most obviously, in mammals, mother and young are in much closer contact during early life than in birds, and siblings can influence each other's development as well as the mother's physiology while still in utero. During nursing, mammalian young also encounter a very different feeding situation to bird siblings. These contrasts should help stimulate further debate, as well as provide further opportunities to study the relative importance of maternal versus sibling effects on individual development. Finally, we discuss the need to balance studies of sibling competition and conflict with a consideration of the benefits accruing to individuals from sibling presence and the need for long-term studies of the influence of early sibling relations on individual development and life histories.

612 Tasting Notes
Like the Blueberry Fruit tea by Teavivre this one is also much better cold. I steeped for approx. 4min and found it was just right. This tea turned my water in to a medium pink colour. I find hot or steeped too long makes it undrinkable for me. So if you buy this make sure to have enough to experiment with otherwise you might miss how good this tea is.
I have two and they rock! I do still love my Contigo autolock mugs as they are a bit easier for drinking on the go but Timolino is the best for tea on the go!
I found this tea is definitely better iced and with a shorter steep time than the package recommends. It's a very pleasant blueberry tea and really yummy. I found that when I steeped it hot or for too long it took on a medicinal quality.. or at least I think so. It might just be the black currant coming out more though and medicine is what my brain is thinking. So the bottom line is DRINK IT COLD.
Flavors: Berries
Today I felt like some sweet tea and it has nothing to do with the fact that I was sick yesterday and it snowed. Or the fact that today it is -20C. Nope nothing to do with all that at all. I'm just at work and staring at mountains of snow wishing for spring and +1C
Okay I was going to write this note earlier but life got in the way. So my first cup of this was spectacularly awesome. It was a nice creamy mint that was perfect. Now for some unknown reason after that I found it got sometimes too sweet near the end. Similar to teas with Chamomile in them. So I would definitely recommend this to everyone as it is extremely yummy.
Not nearly as good as Laoshan Black or the chai version but it's still a good cup. I just put in an order to Teavivre since I haven't ordered from them in ages. I think I'll rotate my orders from the companies so no one feels left out and I don't run out of yummy tea! So next time I order it will be Butiki's Teas turn :D

City The Battle Over the Pro Parks Levy
posted by January 17 at 11:54 AMon
As I wrote in this week's paper, there's a battle shaping up over whether—and how—to renew the $270 million Pro Parks Levy, which funded capital and operations investments in parks, open space, and community centers. Council president Richard Conlin wants to renew the levy (for capital investments only; operations would be paid for out of the general budget) and make new investments in Pike Place Market and Seattle Center; Mayor Greg Nickels wants to focus on Seattle Center and Pike Place Market only.
Tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the Central Library, the Seattle Great City Initiative is hosting a forum titled "Post Pro-Parks: What is Seattles Next Round of Green Infrastructure Investments?", with panel members including City Council parks committee chair Tom Rasmussen, Seattle Parks Foundation member Bruce Blume, and Open Space Seattle 2100 co-director Nancy Rottle. Great City head Michael McGinn says the group is supporting renewal of the Pro Parks Levy; if the last forum they held at the library (on Seattle's role in reducing global warming) was any indication, it should be an interesting discussion.
