Mark & Gary what a nasty spiteful callous excuse for human beings you both must be.
She was a talented woman, and obviously very troubled, and unfortunately obviously did not have the inner strength to cope.Jan Tuesday 26 July, 2011 - 2:41 PM
What a load of rubbish, the world needs less of these people. One hit wonder, alcohol and substance abuser in the extreme. Should young people look up to this kind of rubbish? If they're at the top of their game and hit the bottle and pills/needles, the industry & media must drop them, let them go and wast themselves out of the public spotlight. She didn't want help, let her go, good riddance.Mark Monday 25 July, 2011 - 8:49 PM

Unsafe voyage
After several days of weather forecasts calling for temps in the 50s and strong south to southwest winds, the "crew" of the ice raft cannot claim ignorance of conditions.
The ice raft was boarded by means of a gangway, provided with sails consisting of the crew and their equipment, with no means of mooring or directional control, no personal floatation devices were worn by the crew and there was no marine radio aboard to inform the crew of potential passage of vessels whose wake could have broken said ice raft into smaller units. This is a definitive description of a manifest unsafe voyage and should be treated as such by the Coast Guard.
The resulting fines would then be shared by the responding authorities, defraying some of the cost to those who put their own lives at risk for the unbelievably massive stupidity of others.
I have no objections to ice fishing but anyone going out on the water needs to recognize the hazards and prepare accordingly or be prepared to pay in one way or another.
I was criticized for having the initiative and the love for my community to obtain this proposal to introduce in a public forum to the members of council, the residents and the mayor, who, I might add, was not in attendance.
I wasn't aware that I needed his permission to take time out of my day to do this. I'm a private citizen with concerns that were being made without even investigating other options.
Perhaps this mayor needs to be reminded he is a public servant. He works for us and we have the right to question any decisions being made in his office.
I felt that council should be made aware that this proposal does exist and give them the opportunity to look at all services and benefits this proposal will give to this community.
It allows 24/7 protection and the benefits and money saved for this community far outweigh what is being presented to us. We would see much more visibility of police cars because they are a larger department. It certainly isn't my fault that he made a rash decision before obtaining all options, and then informed the general public this is how it's going to be.
I understand he is concerned about the officers' jobs if they would take this route. I was assured by the chief in Lake Township that they would all have an opportunity to apply for positions within this department for the township would have to hire more full-time officers. The mayor also said my figures were wrong. In 2007, the actual amount spent was $466,914.91 and in 2008, the actual cost was $456,730.05. The appropriation for 2009 is $410,721.61. The proposal from Lake Township was quoted as $350,000, and I was told it could possibly be less.
Now that the police chief in the village has resigned (he was quoted in the paper as saying "differences of opinion), I thought this would be the right time to see what it would cost this village for outsourcing this department.
It was also said by the mayor and council that they are going to hire a full-time chief. Doesn't this present an increase in appropriations? We would have excellent protection from a police department that comes highly respected and doesn't have the turnover that our police department has.
It's been like this forever. This mayor was quoted saying this would limit his control. Why? If Lake Township should take over and there were any problems, he would have the authority to question it.
Under the Ohio law, we are entitled to request public documents and that is exactly what I did. This mayor will not take my freedom of speech. That is the American way.
These records will not be open for inspection and the public may not purchase copies of them for 75 years after they are recorded.
Currently, these records are available to everyone. Genealogists, historians and family members of veterans are among those who look at them and often purchase copies. However, as of April 6, only a person designated as an "authorized party" under Ohio Revised Code Section 317.24 may see or copy the records.
If you want to look at or obtain copies of military service discharges locally, do it soon. The last day to do so will be April 3.
Come to the Recorder's Office, room 204 in the Ottawa County Courthouse, 315 Madison St., Port Clinton. The staff will help you find the document. A veteran may obtain a copy of his/her discharge at no cost. For others, the fee will not exceed $2 per page.
I am especially proud of Mayor Carl Stanoyevic for standing up to this company and not letting the almighty buck prevail. Other community leaders need to follow your lead and do what is right, listen to their constituents, and see the big picture beyond the dollar signs. Yes, we are in desperate need of jobs, but at what cost? Living in a community that has recently felt the effects of a 17 percent tax hike, I expect more.
We deserve better.

A Tear Fell Lyrics - Ray Charles
Review The Song (1)
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
A tear fell when I saw you
in the arms of someone new
A tear fell when you left me
all alone and feeling blue
A tear fell when you told me
that your love was not for me
I didn't miss the teardrops,
but I missed you constantly
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love
The teardrops that you stepped on
as you danced across the floor.
Were crushed like my poor heart was
when you walked out of my door.
<A tear fell when you told me
that the flame in your heart died.
Darlin', have I lost you
like these teardrops from my eyes
A fool am I, a fool am I, in love > 2

Fourth grade students in Michigan can head down the slopes for free this ski season.
The Michigan Snowsports Industries Association is giving students up to three free lift tickets or trail passes in 20 participating ski areas.
The "Cold is Cool" passports are sent to all Michigan schools in hopes of improving the kids' health. Officials say the sport is perfect for nine and ten year-old children because they have the coordination required to pick it up quickly.

With the 14 June presidential election approaching, Iran's leaders are moving to prevent the outburst of protest that followed the disputed 2009 poll by tightening access to the web and silencing "negative" news. Raha Zahedpour reports
Iran's state television this week held the second of three presidential debates. Unlike the 2009 debates, no one-on-one debating was allowed. In these debates, resembling game shows, candidates have less than five minutes to talk about their policies on different issues, and other candidates were chosen at random to question the speaker. Candidates were then left with very limited time to conclude after the end of questions.
The eight qualified candidates could not escape Iran's strict censorship during their campaigns. Iranian state TV censored reformist candidate Mohammad Reza Aref's speech in a programme broadcast for the Iranian diaspora on 26 May. The recording was halted and not resumed.
In another programme on the domestic Channel One, conservative candidate Mohsen Rezaei was censored for talking about how unemployment devastated a family who lost their children in the war, and were led to suicidal thoughts as a result of pressures from the economic crisis and inflation.
State television censored documentaries made by the campaigns of each candidate — including Saeed Jalili, Ayatollah Khamenei's favoured candidate — showing that even a favourite could not escape the sharp blades of censorship.
Iran carefully vetted the candidates in this year's race: Hashemi Rafsanjani and Rahim Mashaei were disqualified from the upcoming presidential election by Iran's Guardian Council. Hashemi Rafsanjani, 78, was dropped from the race for being too old. Mashaei was disqualified because he promotes nationalism and nationalist Islam — despite being a part of hard-liners faction.
Even before the election's candidates were announced, Iran's ruling elite moved to slow internet connections, blocked access to Gmail accounts, and clamped down on circumvention tools. All over the country, Iranians are struggling to access social media, or even check their email.
Authorities have also tightened up web censorship — censoring even influential political figures close to the government. A blog belonging to one of Rafsanji's advisors was blocked recently. The move raised eyebrows, because Hashemi Rafsanji is key revolutionary figure, a former president, a former head of Parliament and the current chairman of the Expediency Discernment Council of Iran.
Iran also shut down sites aligned to presidential hopeful Efandiar Rahim Mashaei.
Meanwhile, Ahmadi Moghadam, the chief commander of Police, said that the authorities would not allow any distractions around the election. Following the announcement, jailed journalists and bloggers who were released after being imprisoned and sentenced after the 2009 uprising were arrested once more. Former presidential candidates Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi are still under house arrest.
Iran's press has also faced enormous challenges in reporting on the election. The ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance invited journalists to a seminar about what could be reported. Officials emphasised that "negative news" should not be published. Subsequently, some papers received official notices for their content. The websites of reformist newspapers Mardom Saalaary and Bahar were blocked, even though print editions of the newspapers continued to be distributed
In light of restrictions, rights organisations have cast doubt on the election's freedom. In a 24 May statement Human Rights Watch asked, "How can Iran hold free elections when opposition leaders are behind bars and people can't speak freely?"

On February 4, 2014, the Ontario Court of Appeal may have finally put to rest the longstanding issue regarding the length of the applicable limitation period and when it begins to run regarding claims for underinsured motorist coverage under the Ontario Policy Change Forms-44R (OPCF-44R).
This matter arose from a claim for damages for personal injuries suffered by the Plaintiff, Schmitz, as a result of a July 19, 2006 motor vehicle accident. The initial tort action, commenced in June 2007 claimed damages in excess of $1,000,000.00 being the Defendant's policy limits. The Defendants' automobile insurance coverage was limited to $1,000,000.00. However, Schmitz had a policy of insurance with Lombard which included underinsured motorist coverage to a maximum of $2,000,000.00. For reasons which are not explained in the Judgment, the Plaintiff did not commence his underinsured claim against Lombard until June, 2010. This precipitated a motion by Lombard to have the action dismissed on limitation grounds on the basis that it was commenced after the expiry of the 12 month limitation period contained in section 17 of the OPCF-44R.
In response, the Plaintiff took the position that section17 did not apply but argued instead that the two year limitation period contained in section 4 of the Limitations Act applied. Further, the Plaintiff took the position that the discoverability principles contained within section 5 of the Limitations Act also overrode Section17 of the OPCF-44R.
The Motions Judge accepted the Plaintiffs arguments and dismissed Lombard's motion from which it appealed.
On appeal, Lombard conceded the applicability of the two year limitation period, under the Limitations Act as opposed to the one year limitation contained in section 17 of the OPCF-44R. However, it argued that the Limitations Act did not override section17 as to when the limitation period commenced and took the position that the limitation period started to run when the Plaintiff knew or ought to have known the quantum of their claims exceeded the Defendant's policy limits of $1,000,000.00.
In rejecting this argument, the Court of Appeal concluded that the limitation period did not begin to run until the day after a demand for indemnity was made. Lombard argued that this interpretation basically amounted to no limitation period at all as the claimant could delay the running of the limitation period indefinitely by refusing to file the claim and as such insurers would be prejudiced as they would be unable to participate in the underlying tort litigation and may not even be aware of it. This argument was rejected by the Court of Appeal which concluded that insurers would be adequately protected by section14 and section15 of the OPCF-44R. Section14 provides that the findings of a court with respect to issues of quantum or liability were not binding on an insurer, unless the insurer was provided with a reasonable opportunity to participate in those proceedings as a party. In addition, section 15 provides various conditions precedent to the liability of insurers including obligations on eligible claimants to promptly give written notice, to provide details of any policies of insurance to which the eligible claimant may have recourse, to submit to an examination under oath and to produce relevant documents in their possession or control.
With this decision the Court of Appeal now appears to have come almost full circle regarding limitation period issues involving underinsured motorist coverage claims.
In Winbush v Progressive Casualty (1995) it was held that the time under section 17 only begins to run once the Plaintiff's damages have been assessed at trial.
Subsequently there are a series of cases which focussed on section17 and in particular what was meant by the phrase "quantum of claims." For example in McCook v. Subramaniam (2008), Master Dash concluded that the 12 month limitation period contained in section 17 commenced on the day on which the Plaintiff knew or ought to have known, not that his or her damages would exceed the actual liability limits of the tortfeasor's policy, but from the date on which he knew or ought to have known that the "quantum of claims" would exceed the statutory minimum limits of $200,000.00. Unfortunately the phrase "quantum of claims" was never defined and there was various case law commenting on whether it referred to what was claimed in the prayer for relief, or the quantum that was recovered after a trial proceeding, or the Plaintiff's subjective assessment of its claim during the course of the litigation. The difficulty with respect to "quantum of claims" is that the damage assessment during the course of litigation is often a moving target dependent upon a number of different factors. As a practical matter this uncertainty precipitated unnecessary litigation as Plaintiffs, to avoid a potential limitation period expiring were compelled to commence underinsured claims before they could assess the realistic merits of such a claim. This precipitated unnecessary costs on not only the Plaintiffs but for insurers who had to respond to such claims.
Although the Court of Appeal's decision in Schmidt will be of benefit to the Plaintiffs and delay in some instances, an underinsurer's involvement in a claim, as a practical reality, this will be a rare occurrence as generally where there are realistic underinsured claims, Plaintiffs by reason of section14 will generally involve the underinsurer in the primary proceedings to avoid a multiplicity of trials.

Why Allure Villas chose Sagres
At the extreme south west of Portugal there is a place surrounded by wild nature far from the mass tourist activities of most of the Algarve, its name is Sagres, a village full of ancient sea legends and historic monuments, from where Portuguese ships set sail on their voyages of maritime discovery - it also happens to be considered one of the best surf breaks in Europe.
The highlight of the regional gastronomy is the fresh fish and seafood. Savour some of the delicious local cuisine including mussels, prawns and the "cataplana" (seafood stew).
Don't miss the regional pastry, especially the almonds and marzipan cup cakes.
Charming towns boast beautiful Moorish architecture and a lively seaside ambiance that contrast with the vibrant nightlife in Portimão, Faro and Vilamoura.

18 Surprising Facts That Will Motivate You to Stop Wasting Food
Photo Credit: Only Fabrizio/ Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
With nearly 100 percent certainty I can assure you we won't be hearing President Barack Obama and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, or their respective surrogates, talking about America's food waste dilemma (or what I and others would describe as a crisis) in the months ahead. That's too bad since food waste is creating significant social, economic and environmental consequences for the US (and the world).
This growing crisis and the fact that discarded food provides a unique lens through which to view the water/energy/agriculture nexus (a topic of great interest to us here at GRACE and Ecocentric), prompted me to take a closer look at the food that goes uneaten and how it impacts Americans. While researching this trending topic, I learned some interesting facts I thought I'd share.
What a Waste!
1. Between one quarter and one half of the more than 590 billion pounds of food produced each year in the United States is squandered during the farm-to-table supply chain. Using this range, food writer and food waste expert Jonathan Bloom estimates that, every day America wastes enough food to fill the Rose Bowl – the 90,000-seat football stadium in Pasadena, California – and sometimes it's as much as two stadiums full.
2. Americas' per capita food waste has increased by 50 percent since 1974.
3. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2010 discarded food represented the single largest component of municipal solid waste reaching landfills and incinerators.
4. Food waste represents a significant cost to local governments (and ultimately taxpayers who already paid for it once as consumers), which is why many municipalities like the City of Santa Monica, California and Charleston County, South Carolina are adopting food waste collection and composting programs.
5. Food waste is particularly egregious at a time when hunger is a growing problem and an increasing human rights issue. If we wasted just 5 percent less food, it would be enough to feed 4 million Americans; 20 percent less waste could feed 25 million Americans annually.
6. Approximately $100 to $160 billion is spent each year on producing food that is ultimately wasted. (This estimate comes from Jonathan Bloom's American Wasteland.)
How Food Gets Wasted
7. Crops are sometimes left unharvested because their appearance does not meet strict quality standards required by many supermarkets and expected by consumers.
8. A large portion of food waste occurs in households. The average American throws away 20 pounds of food each month or about two-thirds of a pound per person per day.
9. Fresh products like fish, eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables make up most of household food waste.
10. Much of household food waste is due to spoilage, overcooking, plate waste and over-purchasing. According to new research commissioned by WRAP (an advocacy group established to implement and market recycling in the UK), about two-thirds of annual household waste in the UK is due to food not being used in time, whereas the other one-third is caused by people cooking or serving too much.
11. Restaurants also contribute to the problem with supersized portions, sprawling menus and inadequate training for food handlers when it comes to minimizing food waste.
12. Some waste happens because people are confused about "use-by" and "best-by" dates – which are based on manufacturer suggestions for peak quality – and can cause people to throw out food for fear that it is spoiled, when in fact it is still consumable.
13. Most grocery stores discard food products as soon as they are past their "sell-by" dateseven though these products still have shelf life left.

With the legal woes continuing to pile up for Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane, one-time associate Waka Flocka Flame has completely written off their relationship.
When recently asked for his thoughts on Gucci, Flocka flatly questioned Mane's existence.
"Who is that? Who is that," Waka said when asked if he had any thoughts on Gucci Mane. "He don't exist. We talkin' about Forbes list right now. I ain't got time for nobody, man. My watch is stuck to me." (VLAD TV)
Earlier in the week, Gucci received a federal indictment.
Rapper Gucci Mane was charged in federal court Tuesday with two counts of possessing a firearm as a felon after two September incidents during which he showed a gun and threatened police, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia. Reports at the time indicated that the "Lemonade" rhymer was arrested in Atlanta on September 14 after a friend flagged down police to say he was concerned about the rapper's behavior. (CNN)
Waka Flocka's mother, Debra Antney, recently accused Gucci of being heavily influenced by drugs and not thinking straight.
Waka Flocka Flame and his mom are being accused of stealing money from rapper Gucci Mane, but in an exclusive interview with Debra Antney she tells RumorFix, "I'm gonna laugh." The lawsuit alleges that Debra, who was Gucci's manager in 2006 and CFO, and Waka collected royalties without permission and as a result the troubled rapper has money problems and tax issues. Debra tells us, "I'm so speechless. It's so crazy. Waka wasn't even rapping in 2006. " She adds, "Drugs, greed and women ruined him — that's it. Don't blame that sh*t on me!" The Atlanta-based manager says, "Bless his heart — somebody call Dr. Phil for him!" (RumorFix)
According to recent reports, Gucci filed a lawsuit against Waka and others over various allegations including fraud.
The popular rhyme-sayer whose government name is Radric Davis and Michael Armour named Juaquin "Waka" Malphurs, Malphurs' mother Debra Antney, producer and DJ Xavier "Zaytoven" Dotson, and rappers Khia Stone and Otis "OJ da Juiceman" Jones, Jr., in a federal lawsuit accusing them of fraud, racketeering, theft and breach of contract as it pertains to Davis' company, 1017 Records, LLC, the complaint claims. Neither Antney nor Malphurs were able to be reached by phone at Mizay Entertainment, the company Antney runs. At least some of the accusations refer to events that happened during Davis' 2009 stint in the Fulton County Jail. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
Gucci took personal aim at Debra and accused her of stealing his money.
The complaint says Antney, who manages her son's career and has her hands in the rise of several area hip hop artists, was hired to manage Davis in 2006 and was released from her duties in 2009. The lawsuit claims that Antney took control of the company and along with Malphurs and Stone spawned at least three separate companies without Davis' consent and, for Malphurs, in direct violation of his artist's contract. The complaint claims that Antney stole a ring and necklace from Davis, failed to report tax information on her income, and seized control of his money and assets and used them for herself. The lawsuit also accuses her of fraudulently inflating the costs of certain record label expenses and using the excess for personal gain. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
Over the past few months, Waka Flocka has suggested Mane is mentally unstable.
The feud between the rappers has been going on for some time. On Sept. 16, Waka completely dissed him on Power 105, saying "Gucci lost his noodles, man. People think he's gangsta and hard, he really needs medical attention, man." He also brought up the Twitter war where Gucci said they both had slept with rapper, Nicki Minaj. "Nah man, the world would've known, man, she's too poppin'," he said about Nicki. "No disrespect to her, she's like a sister to me, but it's too poppin'. I would've been tried to grab those cool points." (Hollywood Life)

GM debuts next step in vehicle-to-vehicle communications [w/video]
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Oct 18th, 2011 at 1:59PM
General Motors is working on a new vehicle communications system that could help avert up to 81 percent of crashes, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The system uses small mobile devices, like smart phone applications, to gather information about the vehicle's surroundings. The system could alert the driver of stalled vehicles on the side of the road, drivers who are abruptly stopping, averse road conditions and even stop signs and stop lights before the hazards come into view. GM is already testing the system in two ways – with a small dash-mounted... Read More

The name Mike Scott brings elicits a lot of memories for any Wahoo faithful. Now many people around the NBA may have to take notice.
The former Virginia forward scored a career- high 30 points for the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, as the Hawks made a come-back win over the New York Knicks.
"So happy for Mike," said Virginia head coach Tony Bennett. "To see that he had 30 points, his career high and hit 6-of -7 threes and 7 -of -14 from the floor."
Bennett coached Scott for three years, after taking over as the head coach in 2009. In 2010, Scott had an ankle injury which forced him to have a seasn-ending surgery. So Bennett knows very well the adversity the former 'Hoo had to go through.
"(Mike) came to our Georgia Tech game," said Bennett. "The night before he came to the hotel spent some time with the guys. Then sat behind the bench for the game and then came in the locker room after, and just to see him mature since when I got here, see his game develop through the injuries.. if my foot is going to hold up. Am I even going to play…that wonder to now where he is, what a blessing. "
"I know he is so thankful. And to be able to say that to him after the game in the locker room in front of our players was special, because I got to lift him up and then tell our guys, this guy we didn't know what was going to happen. To watch him mature, it was a beautiful thing. To see him have this continued success is great for his future. We are all pulling for him. I love it, because he is a good man, and to see that success is wonderful. "
Scott remain tight with his Virginia roots, and often times practiced and trained with Brad Soucie.
"Coach Soucie is great," said Bennett. "He is in a role that after they are done with their eligibility, he can work those guys out a ton. As do some of the other coaches. A lot of our alumni are coming back, which is great for our program.
"It is a special relationship they have and Mike gives him a lot of credit, it's a special relationship they have."
Scott helped lead his Virginia team to their first NCAA tournament berth in five years in 2011-2012 during his final season as a Cavalier. During that season, Scott averaged 18 points a game and just over eight rebounds a game. Although, the 'Hoos lost to Florida in the tournament, Scott's legacy was forever engrained in the program.
Scott finished his Virginia career with 1, 538 points.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Accidents like what happened to the Costa Concordia in Italy have made headlines recently, making some vacationers uncomfortable about taking a cruise. But right here in South Florida, the U.S. Coast Guard has started a new school to make sure they catch problems before cruise ships set sail.
It's eight on a Thursday morning and passengers of the Royal Caribbean ship "Liberty of the Seas" are just now dis-embarking. But as their vacation ends, 25 students from the Coast Guard's Cruise Ship Center for Expertise board to begin a hands-on education with this ship as their classroom.
The Coast Guard tour storage rooms, inspect kitchens, and check out the mechanics of the ship, all things you will also find on the Coast Guard inspection website. If this was a normal inspection, inspectors would be on the ship all day looking for anything that could put the ship's voyage in jeopardy.
All of those inspection reports are online and we looked through them for every ship leaving out of Tampa, Port Canaveral, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. We found citations for pollution, engine problems, and problems with backup generators. For most problems the Coast Guard found, the cruise line fixed it on the spot.
"There are a lot of areas we need to put eyes on and look at," said Cruise Ship Center for Expertise supervisor, Commander Buddy Reams. "And the systems we are interested in looking at, fire safety, life saving, they are scattered throughout the ship. So there is the need to walk to get as much familiarity as you can with the entire ship to see whether or not those systems are being maintained or operating properly."
When inspectors come on the ship they're not just going through a check list. They're looking all around trying to see if the things they see could interfere with your safety.
"So obviously on a ship the size of the one behind us, depending on the number of people you have inspecting it can make for long days because you are trying to get as much visibility on the ship as you can," said Commander Reams.
The students in this class aren't just from the Coast Guard, they also come from the cruise industry, those who want to further their knowledge of safety.
"We take safety extremely seriously," Royal Caribbean's Vice President of Environmental Compliance and Maritime Safety, Richard Pruitt, told us. "We have a large cadre of engineers who are maintaining the various equipment on board and we have a watch engineer who is monitoring thousands of sensors in the engine room and all the technical systems to make sure they stay in a safe and optimal range."
He says the cruise line works with the Coast Guard from the moment it starts thinking about building a new ship, to the moment it sets sail for your trip.
"We're not just concerned with our guest safety. We have crew members that we think of as family and our interest in protecting their safety is at the top of our list," Pruitt added.
So the next time you board your ship and are checking out everything from the buffet to the pool, know that there are a lot of people looking out for your safety.
The cruise industry told WINK that it's not just checked out by the Coast Guard, but also by the commissioning service that issues their insurance and by the Centers for Disease Control for health issues. Click on the links below for more information.

Rising Paywalls Are Already Paying Off for Publishers
Not long ago, Bloomberg Businessweek declared 2014 the "Year of the Paywall" for the news industry. Sure enough, everywhere you look in publishing these days, you see news organizations ranging from Politico (and its Capital New York offshoot) to the new tech-oriented website the Information experimenting with online-subscription models. "I would not start a media company today based on advertising alone," Politico Chief Executive Officer Jim VandeHei told Businessweek recently.

"That kind of intolerance is directly opposite to what Dr. Martin Luther King preached. New York already leads the nation in chasing away its own citizens, because of its extraordinarily high taxes. Does he really want to bully more away?" Astorino asked. During an interview with Public Radio's Capitol Press Room on Friday, Governor Cuomo made remarks disparaging conservatives in New York state who were pro-life, second amendment advocates, and unsupportive of same-sex marriage. According to the New York Post: Cuomo said Friday that members of the GOP with "extreme" views are creating an identity crisis for their party and represent a bigger worry than Democrats such as himself. "Their problem isn't me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves," the governor said on Albany's The Capitol Pressroom radio show. "Who are they? Right to life, pro-assault weapons, anti-gay — if that's who they are, they have no place in the state of New York because that's not who New Yorkers are." "People need to understand what Cuomo's position on abortion is. His abortion bill lost frighteningly by one vote," Astorino said. "It'll be put up for a vote again this year, because he's pushing it. It will expand abortion on demand through nine months and can be performed by non-doctors. It is so radical and repulsive and 85 percent of New Yorkers think it is insane, but this is his point of view. So, is he trying to throw 85 percent of New Yorkers out?" Cuomo's administration posted an open letter on Sunday regarding the The New York Post's story claiming Cuomo's remarks were "distorted" and taken out of context. "I think when he reveals his true self, you see how angry and radical his views are and the governor certainly owes the people in our state an apology" Astorino said. "New York's greatness comes from accepting people with different points of view. Just so everyone around the country and world knows, we would still love you to visit our state, despite our intolerant governor."

She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain takes the popular folk song to new heights of silliness. A serenading cactus begins our tune, inviting us to sing along. The "She" in question is a pint-sized cowgirl whose legend grows with the song.
We start normally enough, but when we find out that the six white horses she'll be driving are named "Misty, Moonbeam, Milkshake, Stardust, Silvermane, and Snowflake," we find ourselves riding off the beaten path into hilariously imaginative scenarios involving jelly-juggling and rooftop-dancing.

Dozens of Christmas trees in Arlington, Washington, not only were recycled, they became a meal for goats to munch on.
A Television station in Seattle says the trees were taken to the New Moon Farm Goat Rescue and Sanctuary, where the evergreens were fed to about 38 goats.
Sanctuary owner Ellen Felsenthal says people like the idea of turning trees into goat food. She says she's looking for good families to adopt the rescued goats.

Any way of speeding up a pc with reasonable specs?
This is NOT a serious problem, just more of an annoyance which is intriguing me.
With 4gb ram, a reasonable dual processor and graphics card, one would expect a reasonably good performance whatever the case.
My automatic startup consists of just Avast AV, Java, and Malwarebytes although l also get additional icons on the taskbar for the Network and Sharing Center and Action Center.
I use Firefox as my main browser.
I also use SuperAntiSpyware, CCleaner, and Defraggler reasonably frequently, so l know that my system is clear of any junk, malware, spyware, and that no viruses are present.
I fire the system up in the morning, bring up Firefox and all is fine, and reasonably quick.
Do a fair amount of downloading using the MiPony download manager to access rapidshare files, but with my crap connection, the max download speed seems to hover around the 280kbs mark.
I may also have two FF sessions on the go, as well as the downloading, so whatever l do after that seems to really slow the system down.
I have even run ConvertX at the same time as all of the above and the system came to a near grinding halt.
Now l know that all of the above are processor/ram hungry but surely with my specs the computer should more than cope?
Maybe l'm missing something obvious or my dual processor system just cannot cope with more than two ram hungry programs running at the same time.
Has anyone got any ideas or do l just have to live with it.

Sorry Brink and Pparks1 as l usually reply to posts quicker, but have been a bit tied up.
Most of the things listed l do anyway, but am just tinkering around with the pagefile at the moment. Doesn't seem to make that much of a difference, but then Windows 7 normally handles this effectively anyway.
A clean install will no doubt make a difference, as when l first installed Windows 7 it whizzed along. Then l would have to bring back everything l have at the moment and after a while, l'll probably be back in the same position as of now.
The SSD option seems interesting but due to lack of funds at the moment, basically none, will leave this one open for now.
One thing l have noticed is that Firefox seems to be a lot slower. When l load FF, down the bottom of the screen just above the taskbar it flashes up the standard messages of "transferring data", "waiting for" etc.
Some of the "waiting for" data seems to take a long time to load but that could just be down to my connection, which isn't the fastest!
Out here in the back of beyond, about 5 kilometers away from the nearest exchange, Speedtest shows a Ping of 81ms, a download speed of 2.59Mbps and an upload speed of 0.14Mbps. This is the best it's going to get unless they upgrade all of the cabling which l very much doubt.
Anyway, as l said, it's not too much of a problem as l'm sort of used to it by now.
Thanks again for you prompt and as ever, helpful replies.

That's ok mate.
You might also check to see if it may be a add-on, plugin, or extension that you added to Firefox that may be responsible for the delay.

The transferring data thing sounds like Firefox addons are updating automatically or sending someone your data
you can turn off Automatic updates in firefox, but I think there is a seperate checkbox for addon updates as well.
Just becuase you are only loading certain programs on startup doesn't mean thats all the system is doing. I would advise to go to msconfig and make sure only the programs you want to start are checked.
After that, you can see what programs are running in taskmanager. Sort by highest process and see if anything jumps to the top when it slows down.
I recently did a Clean install on an SSD with greg's help and it worked wonders for speed. SSD's are dropping in price and you don't need a huge SSD for just the OS The speed boost is very nice.

Thanks everyone, you have all been most helpful.
