The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) published a report yesterday into the WGA for 2010-11. One of its main concerns is the relevance and timeliness of these last set of accounts, with the Treasury publishing the audited WGA for the financial year 2010-11 in October 2012. Because it took 19 months to publish this, it means the information it contains is out-of-date.
ACCA believes that strong public financial management is critical to improving the quality of public service outcomes, decision-making and long-term sustainability of public services.
Gillian Fawcett, head of public sector at ACCA, says: 'Producing the WGA is no mean feat and the Treasury should be congratulated for its commitment to producing these accounts. However, ACCA questions whether these accounts represent true transparency and accountability.
'The need for financial transparency has encouraged many governments, from the UK to Australia, to publish spending data in Whole of Government Accounts, but research shows that more data does not mean better information. The sheer volume and detail of such accounts can diminish the accountability that they originally seek to promote.'
Gillian Fawcett concludes: 'Making data widely available should not been seen as a substitute for effective financial scrutiny by parliaments. These accounts can only be meaningful if decision makers are analysing them and reflecting on them for making sound, transparent and accountable future policy decisions. The whole point with these accounts is that Government can demonstrate the importance of the quality of information available, including financial and service delivery, to help inform decision making for the future.'
The Whole of Government Accounts (WGA) were published for the first time in 2011, and over 1,500 public bodies are included in this accounting report. it represents Government spending across all departments.
In a new project for 2013/14, ACCA will be calling for a review of the impact of consolidated accounts across a range of users from institutional investors, the public, parliaments, credit rating agencies, and across the countries around the world that already produce WGAs - Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, Sweden, UK and US. The objective of this study is to evaluate the whole of government consolidated accounts impact on a range of external users across a potential sample of up to four countries identified above.

Multiple Case Study Analysis
Reproducible worksheets that facilitate multicase recording and analysis are provided by the author.

Examining situational complexity is a vital part of social and behavioral science research. This engaging text provides an effective process for studying multiple cases—such as sets of teachers, staff development sessions, or clinics operating in different locations—within one complex program. The process also can be used to investigate broadly occurring phenomena without programmatic links, such as leadership or sibling rivalry. Readers learn to design, analyze, and report studies that balance common issues across the group of cases with the unique features and context of each case. Three actual case reports from a transnational early childhood program illustrate the author's approach, and helpful reproducible worksheets facilitate multicase recording and analysis.

Be Careful With My Heart - Sep 24, 2012Monday, September 24, 2012
Be Careful With My Heart is about the story of Maya Dela Rosa (Jodi Sta. Maria), a simple girl from the province San Nicolas who are introduced as tour guides including her older sister, Cristina Rose "Kute" Dela Rosa (Aiza Seguerra) and Nephew, Pocholo "Cho" Macavinta (JM Ibanez). With lack of money for their daily expenses and household repairs, Maya and Kute are having a hard time reaching their dreams to become a Flight Stewardess and a sea worker. On a rainy night, Kute accidentally fell off after she tried to fix their roof which disappointed Kute to achieve her dream of becoming a sea woman. With large medical bills, Maya became interested in working abroad for two years to help her family financially. Unfortunately, Maya became a victim of a swindler employer. Despite of being unfortunate, Maya still hoped to become a Flight Stewardess with the help of Richard "Sir Chef/Ricardo" Lim (Richard Yap) who offered her a work as a nanny to his daugher, Abigail Ruth "Abby" Lim (Mutya Orquia). Without any second thoughts, Maya accepted Richard's offer, since Maya knows that Richard is her last hope because of his influence in the airline industry. With this in mind, will Maya ever achieve her dreams as a Flight Stewardess even though she started as a nanny to Abby? Be Careful With My Heart is aired in ABS CBN Weekdays at 11:45 AM Channel 3 in Philippine television.

Thanks to Sayana_mnk for the vids (I watched them late last night)
Until I saw the videos I thought Donlan/Speroff did bad (like had a few falls), but I was pleasantly surprised to find out not just them but everybody had a pretty good skate, it was just close is all between Donlan/Speroff, Leng/LeDuc, Denney/Frazier, and Davis/Brubaker. Zhang/Bartholomay were way ahead, which surprised me a bit to tell the truth, as I thought their skate was just okay, especially their PCS (he in particular really needs to stretch his body and point his toes, her too; watch Rockne Brubaker, he could teach Bartholomay a thing or two, jmho). BUT, I must say they maximize every single point, whether it be having the most difficult lift (i.e. reverse lasso lift) or doing a throw 3F instead of the easier throw 3S, and landing their sbs jumps of course, including going for two sbs 2As right in a row (though he singled his first one). To me this is the reason why they were so far ahead, including their PCS, which was influenced by their consistency on the jumps.
Davis/Brubaker are a new team, but gaining every competition, so I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually take over Zhang/Bartholomay by the time Nationals gets here. Reason: Rockne is a better all around skater than Bartholomay. Their female partners are neck & neck. Lol to be honest both of these pairs remind me of each other. I get them confused until they start skating. They have the same strengths as well (i.e. jumps), but now with the new & improved ballerino Rockne, I give him & Davis the edge. BUT, they need to up their difficulty to overtake Zhang/Bartholomay, and judging by Rockne's latest interview he knows that, and they're getting there little by little. Coming in here second to Z/B proves that.
Leng/LeDuc, Donlan/Speroff, and Kayne/O'Shea are all running neck & neck, their strength is the PCS, whomever lands the jumps will come out ahead of the others. That's the only difference imho. In order to distinguish themselves from the pack one of them must stand out with more innovative choreography, thee most difficult lifts, the highest split 3twist, things like that.
And then of course there's the spoiler, young upstarts Denney/Frazier, whom is just as good as her sister Caydee. *sigh* Watch out, thy name is consistency when it comes to the jumps...
One last note, it's good to see Donlan/Speroff were 3:3 in their throw jumps (Yeah). I can't remember the last time I saw them do so. And even more surprising was Gretchen not falling on her butt in their sbs jumps (she was really fighting; hand down & extra turn is all). It was Andrew that singled his 2A). Miracles never cease.

Whaaaat? You people have got to be kidding me
I guess the skating world is way more screwed up than I thought. Or maybe just Russia is (no offense, anyone).
Also, such a waste. Such beauty should really be with someone more worthy.
Changing the subject because we are talking about someone 17 years old...
Didn't Lysacek used to be with Nastia Lukin?
Jeremy Abbott dating Massimo Scali.
Ok moderators....thread closed.
Rules are rules. And I'd say that no 17 year old is mature enough to date anybody older than 21. I don't care how mature they are.

To get off of the argument...
I think Charlie White and Tanith Belbin are so cute together! My mom said that at US Nationals they got on the shuttle bus from the hotel to arena when she was on, and they were holding hands. How long have they been together? Wasn't it before the Olympics even, or am I mistaken?
Side note- does anyone know if Adam Rippon is gay or not? Because if not, then does anyone else think that he had something going on with Alissa Czisny? I honestly don't know if he's straight and was dating Alissa for awhile, or if he's gay and just best friends with her. Still best friends even if they dated for awhile and broke up. They're so cute!
Also, is Caydee Denney's relationship with John Coughlin confirmed? I suspected they were dating, and that that was the reason for John continuing pairs after supposedly retiring and breaking off the partnership with Caitlin Yankowskas. Anyways, John and Caydee are great skaters, and if they break up and their pairs partnership falls apart, that would be horrible. Especially if it was in the middle of the season...

It's probably not the first time a woman co sidered herself to be in a relationship with a man who considers himself single.
Wait, where did you get the information of Elena & Morozov from? I haven't found anything like this on her formspring.
well...other couples:

ops my bad then
Johnny Come Lately [me]. I found this hard to rank because my top 4 are verrryyy close to one another. I did add the Olympic performances and '10 Worlds
- Kim '10 [Vancouver] - just perfect. Basics make up for lack of a 3loop
1. Arakawa '04 - beauty, power and fluidity (even if she ur'd the 3t of the opening 3-3-2, that was a pioneering move!)
- Asada '10 [Torino] - 2 3x's and otherwise great execution, but to music not quite suited to her. She did finally make it work.
2. Kwan '01 - Kwan clean and at her best IMO, but slightly less ambitious than Arakawa.
3. Slutskaya '05 - most powerful of them all, but 3peated the 3loop, didn't she? Also, choreography was a little less than Kwan or Arakawa [feeding the chickens].
4. Kwan '00 - nice and strong but a little emptier than other programs by Kwan.
5. Asada '08 - didn't achieve take-off on the opening 3x but otherwise great.
6. Kim '09 - lack of edge jumps puts her lower IMO than where she could've been on my list, even if her basics otherwise were phenomenal.
7. Ando '07 - OK. She deserves credit for the great jumps but I found the choreography a little clunky and forced to overused music, her sit spin was not that great, and her spiral was too strained.
- Arakawa '06 [Torino] - nice, but a little too safe.
8. Kwan '03 - I'm in the minority, but this LP never did much for me. She was obviously beginning to dial it back at this stage in the career.
9. Meissner '06 - Good for her and the execution of some major triples, but the technique and the non-jump elements were just a little subpar.
- Hughes '02 [SLC] - In retrospect, not that great even if inspired.
10. Slutskaya '02 - I thought this performance was just safe and otherwise unmemorable, dialed back from other attempts.
Last edited by olympic; 06-29-2010 at 12:57 AM.
Honestly I dont think hardly anyone would rank Kwan's 2003 Worlds title performance high on this list if Worlds werent in the U.S and the emotion created by the crowd and the moment made it seem like something far more extraordinary then it was. I am baffled how ANYONE thinks it is even close to her 2000 and 2001 World winning LPs, let alone better. Kwan's 2000 and 2001 winning LPs both had 7 triples, some huge jumps, a triple-triple, all out attack and speed, and so far better and more complex choreography than her 2003 program. Her 2003 program had far less jumps wise, far less choreography wise, less difficult non jump elements, less speed and convicition, and was somehow the best of the 3? She was clearly injured by that point and had to scale back her jumps, non jump elements, and choreography the remainder of her career. I just dont get it. And in 2000 and 2001 she actually had a real task ahead of her to win the title, she had Slutskaya favored over her in 2001, and Butyrskaya and Slutskaya to both pass in 2000, and she had to skate lights out to even have a shot of winning and helped to inspire such phenomenal skates those nights. The 2003 situation was nothing like that, she basically had to stay upright to ensure winning, it was basically a home country Kwan lovefest, and with Slutskaya having a bad year and out of Worlds and Cohen dropping back out of gold contention from even the Q round there was no real threat to her.
Dont get me wrong, her 2003 World winning LP was still great and she fully deserved to win that year, but I actually think it is one of the weaker ones of this list, and doesnt even come close to her own 2000 and 2001 winning LP's, Slutskaya's 2005 or Arakawa's 2004 winning LPs, Kim's 2009 and Asada's 2010 winning or gold winning LP's at Worlds and Olympics.
But that's just my opinion...
Kwan's 2001 lp was the most beautiful and complex but again some triples were flawed. She still had good speed but was probably the slowest out of 2000, 2001 and 2003, some strong jumps, complex and beautiful spins, but had the simplest footwork in all of Kwan's programs.
Kwan's 2003 lp was the simplest technically but all triples were perfect. She carried the most flow across the program and didn't rest at all. Spins were simple but fast. The program was as simple as TRV in Nice but she made use of the music and choreography really well. She possibly had the most sincere expression in this skate since 1998.
I dont think Kwan's 2003 Worlds winning LP would have even won the 2000 or 2001 Worlds. With her 2003 Worlds winning LP in 2000 she would have been placed 2nd to Slutskaya in the LP which would have placed her 3rd overall behind Slutskaya and Butyrskaya (the short program winner), whereas in 2001 she would have won the silver behind Slutskaya. Granted I know this isnt just about how they stack up competitively (atleast I dont think it is) but Kwan's 2003 World winning performance wouldnt have even been enough to win in years like 2000 and 2001.
Kwan's post-2001 LPs were underwhelming. Not a whole lot on choreography, but this has been rehashed so many times its unbelievable. She was injured, she wasn't able to move as well, etc, etc. We all know this. I was never a huge Aranjuez fan. But she did lay it down and skated brilliantly at 2003 Worlds. Along with Tosca at the 04' Nats, it wasn't the program so much as the passion and energy she had during her SLF and the fact she landed her jumps that made it so great. Boring choreo though.
I love Kwan, but I give credit where credit is due. Kim's LP in Vancouver was hands down, the best LP ever given by a woman at the Olympics or Worlds this decade.
I think with her 2003 Worlds lp she could probably beat Slutskaya's lackluster Carmen in 2000 Worlds but might not be able to beat Slutskaya's sloppy DQ at 2001 Worlds simply because it looked like Slutskaya's program was too much more difficult. The slight cheat on her 3toe3toe was overlooked because it was 6.0 and because Slutskaya/s 3/3s were even more cheated.
Well, I know I'll get bashed for this, but it's only my personal preference so i don't really care. I enjoyed Shizuka's 2006 Olympics performance the best. I realize it was lacking technically, but there was just this something else to it that kept me mesmerized, and would never tire of watching that performance over and over and over and over.......
since we're on the topic of personal opinions, yu-na does almost nothing for me artistically. she is technically excellent and her jumps are flawless and seem to have more ease going into them than most ladies, but that's it.
also most of her programs are filled with choreography, but imo most of the choreography isn't effective but rather forced. she also puts effort into expressiveness.
I like gershwin but I didn't like her music choice for her lp nor the choreography. thus as technically excellent as her elements were (mostly her jumps) I just can't get moved or inspired by the performance beyond the technical level.
james bond was sassy/sexy but hardly the most inspiring short program of all time or anywhere near it. her choreography there was extremely overrated, as others have stated before me, that little gun move is hardly the epitome of brilliant choreography (she's not the first to use a gun move in a ladies fs bond program either...)
for me personally, yu-na seems to have long arms which some might call lyrical but to me they look gangly
I watched that performance when it first came on youtube to death. I thought it was brilliant. it wasn't until afterwards when I read the technical analysis of it as well as compared it to her technically groundbreaking 2004 worlds performance that I realized it was nowhere near her best and quite restrained.
but I still think it's stunning. a lot of ppl say that regardless of sasha falling that night on romeo and juliet, sasha's artistry was much better than shizuka. I couldn't disagree more. shizuka may have a steely/stoic persona but she has these gorgeous long limbs and flow and the music was just spectacular. her icy face didn't affect her expressive footwork and gorgeous ina bauer. on the other hand everytime they did a closeup of sasha she put on that godawful fake romantic doe eyes expression. everytime she did that in her performances I rolled my eyes. sooo fake
I think most people were reacting to the music sasha used more than her artistic performance (beyond her spirals which are top notch), how was she embodying juliet? most of her choreography was just the typical fru fru pretty twirly arms variety.

I watched Shizuka's olympics performance and what was the ice coverage on that free skate Ina Bauer? That was amazing!!!

Boston Acoustics CS2300 II (Black)
5.0-channel home theater speaker system
Some would say it's a myth: surround speakers that provide detailed bass, clean and clear highs, and yet still leave room for other things near your home theater setup (like, say, furniture). It's not a myth, it's the CS2300 II Classic series bookshelf speaker set. Deep channel woofer design in a bookshelf sized 5-speaker set means you get that home theater sound you've been craving without taking up an entire room with speakers.

There have been major upgrades this year to the two operational National Weather Service (NWS) regional hurricane prediction systems, the GFDL and HWRF models. Both models did well for track and intensity forecasts for Hurricane Arthur, and the average intensity errors wer comparable to the other two top NWS intensity prediction models (LGEM and DSHIPS.)
As the polar vortex mutated through the media, it was recognized early as naïve, mocked by comedians, dismissed as scientifically imprecise and politicized. It then becomes a trigger, that supports the doubt that is the goal of the political argument to disrupt climate-change and energy policy. This is a case when the pursuit of simple metaphors and snappy descriptions of complex events fuels the rhetoric. It is a fundamentally flawed tactic of communication and a fundamentally robust way to capture attention and fuel disruption. We must do better.

Ever wanted to catch some big smallies on summer vacation, but didn't know where to go or how to find them? Here's some tips to help!
Improvements to the PWS database! Please leave any comments and concerns on this blog so we can continue to improve the experience for our PWS owners.
NOAA recently produced an interesting map showing when the hottest day of the year is likely to occur in the contiguous U.S. Complimenting this map is one produced by Brian Brettschneider of Borealis Scientific, LLC, which illustrates the date of summer's midpoint (peak of summer average temperatures) which was reproduced in my blog posted last August. Brian has also produced maps of such for the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons. There is also some other great material from Brian herein.
Hurricane Arthur makes landfall, Super Typhoon Neoguri threatens Okinawa, and tornadoes hit the Midwest.
This season, we hope to deploy a disaster shelter trailer, similar to the one below, which will help us assist shelter operators in making their facilities fully accessible to people with all types of disabilities. This will include ramping, railings, cots, dinner- and drinkware, and assistive technologies for those with vision, hearing, cognitive and developmental delays.
The stagnent weather pattern across the eastern United States suggests any anomalous warm spells will be short lived and that an average to below average temperature regime will remain.

sophisticated top
This is a very classy looking top. I wore it with a long full skirt like it is shown on the model, but it would look just as good with dress slacks or a shorter skirt. I wear a size small and am 5'3" 120 lbs. The vee neck is rather low so someone who has a bust that isn't as small as me might want to keep that in mind.

I mucked up the title.. Should be RMB-1090
I have ran across this amp NIB, for 1300, and wanted to get your input and thoughts on whether this would be a good deal, steal, or dud? MSRP is/was 2000. I have read some very good reviews on the amp, but hey, you guys are great at given it straight, so I thought I'd ask.
This would be for another 2 channel system, and not sure the speakers yet.

For American families, taking a break from work and school to get in touch with nature is nothing new. Getting away from the grind of city life is necessary from time to time and the restorative power of the natural world allows us to come home relaxed and refreshed. For some that means heading to a rustic cabin in the woods or pitching a tent in the nearest state park, but others are finding that you can connect with nature without having to venture off the grid or give up modern comforts.
Eco resorts focus on providing guests with the opportunity to explore nature and relax in its tranquil surroundings, while also offering upscale and modern amenities once you return from your time in the great outdoors. In addition to offering access to natural beauty, eco resorts also offer visitors the chance to learn a little more about the natural world as well.
Terranea in Los Angeles is one example of a resort that doesn't scrimp on style of luxury, yet still offers eco-minded visitors plenty of opportunity to connect with nature without having to leave the property. Here are a few examples of what families interested in an eco-vacation can expect to find at the resort:
* Nature hikes on the property. The resort's Discovery Trail guides visitors along the natural areas surrounding the resort. Hikers can relax while taking in panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean on the trail's scenic overlooks. Interpretive areas teach visitors about the area's native plants and wildlife.
* Wildlife viewing. The resort's natural areas offer plenty of opportunity to see animals large and small. The preservation of the land's natural plant species provides refuge to the endangered El Segundo blue butterfly and visitors can see Pacific grey whales through telescopes at viewing points along the Discovery Trail. Guests also have the chance to sit in on educational falconry expos from local experts and learn about the important roles falcons, hawks and owls play in the local environment.
* Outdoor activities. One of the best ways for kids to develop an appreciation of nature is through fun outdoor activities. Kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, surfing and biking are just a few of the activities available to families staying at the resort.
* Sustainability. Visitors to eco-resorts should also know that the resort is doing all it can to lessen the impact of human activity on the environment. At Terranea, restaurants focus on offering local food options, buildings were designed with storm water management in mind and 15 acres of the grounds were restored to its native habitat. It's hard to place a value on spending some time away from your home in order to connect with nature. For some families that might mean traveling to remote parts of the country, but if you're simply looking to get away and experience the outdoors, but don't want to worry about preparing for a trip to the backcountry, an eco-resort might be the perfect place for your family getaway.

Sealants are thin, plastic coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. By covering the chewing surfaces of the molars, sealants keep out the germs and food that cause decay. They can be put on in dentists' offices, clinics, and sometimes in schools.
Sealants are painted on as a liquid and quickly harden to form a shield over the tooth, a process that is simple and painless. They are clear or tinted (tinted sealants are easier to see).
Who Should Get Sealants?
Children should get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as the teeth come in, before decay sets in. The first permanent molars come in between ages 5-7. The second permanent molars (12-year molars) come in between ages 11-14. Other teeth with pits and grooves—called premolars or bicuspids—which are located right in front of the molars, can also be sealed. Teenagers and adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
Your dentist might also recommend having your child's baby teeth sealed, especially if they have deep pits and grooves. Baby teeth play an important role in holding the correct spacing for permanent teeth, making it even more important to keep these teeth healthy so they do not fall out early.
How Is It Done?
The tooth is cleaned and dried, and cotton or other material is used to keep the tooth dry. An acidic solution is put on the tooth to roughen the surface so the sealant can stick. The tooth is then rinsed and dried. The sealant hardens in a few seconds after a liquid application or exposure to a special light. If a small cavity is accidentally covered by a sealant, decay won't spread because it is sealed off from food and germs.
Are Sealants Worth the Price?
Sealants can last up to 10 years, but they need to be checked at regular dental check-ups to make sure they are not chipped or worn away. More sealant material can be added to repair chips or worn sealants.
Having sealants put on healthy teeth now will save you money in the long run by avoiding fillings, crowns, or caps used to fix decayed teeth. The most important reason for getting sealants is to avoid tooth decay. Healthy teeth can last a lifetime. Also, researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the connection between tooth decay and other serious diseases in the body (for example, heart disease, premature birth). Maintaining healthy teeth is now believed to be an important part of maintaining good general health. Many insurance companies pay for sealants. Check with your company for details.
What Are Ways to Prevent Tooth Decay?
- Brush teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaners.
- Eat a balanced diet and limit snacks.
- Drink fluoridated water.
- See a dentist regularly. Ask about sealants.

(ARA) - Everyone knows car maintenance is important, but if you're not a gear head - someone who loves working on vehicles - the idea of doing routine car maintenance can be very intimidating.
"Whether on the set of Top Gear, at NASCAR races or just in my garage at home, I'm fortunate enough to be around cars a lot," says Rutledge Wood, SpeedTV correspondent and host of Top Gear USA. "I love driving them, repairing them and tinkering with them. However, for a lot of people, cars can be a confusing and even intimidating piece of machinery to work on."
To help people feel more comfortable in maintaining their vehicles, Wood offers some simple tips that can make anyone feel like a gear head.
Change your oil.
While many don't find the prospect of being under a car messing with greasy filters their idea of a fun Sunday afternoon, changing a car's oil isn't as daunting a task as it seems. Here are a few easy tips:
1. Make sure your engine is cool before you start, then safely jack up your car and support it with jack stands. Lay a piece of cardboard under the engine, just in case you spill any oil.
2. Position a recycling container under the oil pan that's on the bottom of your engine, then undo the drain plug and let the old oil pour into it. When the old oil's out, put the drain plug back on and tighten it to your car's torque specification.
3. Next, remove your old oil filter using an oil filter wrench; turn the filter counterclockwise until it's free, but watch out you don't spill the old oil that's still in it. Make sure the rubber gasket comes out with the old filter.
4. Then, taking your new oil filter, lubricate the rubber gasket with some new oil and fill the new oil filter with oil to about two-thirds full.
5. Carefully screw the new oil filter clockwise into place (holding it upright); tighten only as much as you can with one hand, don't overdo it or else it can cause a leak.
6. Now it's time to fill the engine with oil, so unscrew the oil fill cap on the topside of the engine and insert your funnel. It's smart to check your owner's manual to find out how much oil your engine holds if you're unsure, then pour a little more than three-fourths that amount into the engine.
7. Finally, start your vehicle and let it run for about a minute. During that minute, take a peek underneath to make sure you don't have any leaks. After a minute, turn off your vehicle and check the oil level on the dipstick, adding more if necessary.
"I use and recommend Valvoline NextGen Oil. It works great and since it's made with 50 percent recycled oil, it's good for the environment as well," says Wood. "To sweeten the deal, they've even come out with a 'Close the Loop' program where they'll give you a $20 mail-in offer if you return your used oil at participating auto parts stores and buy five quarts of NextGen for your next oil change."
Clean up cloudy headlights
It may seem obvious that your headlights are one of the most critical safety features on your car, but what's not always top of mind is how quickly they can become yellowed, hazed or dull from rough road conditions and exposure to the sun. This can lead to severely diminished visibility for yourself and other drivers, especially when driving at night or in poor weather.
Replacing or professionally restoring headlight lenses can cost hundreds of dollars. Options like the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit - No Tools Required allow you to use basic DIY skills and a little elbow grease to sand, smooth, and polish your way to clearer lenses from the comfort of your own garage. This easy-to-use kit includes a series of hand-held abrasives and rubbing compound that's used to remove yellowing and surface blemishes, and then refine and polish the lenses to reduce and remove scratches.
Check your tires
Worn treads are a major safety issue while on the road, leading to hydroplaning, poor traction as well as reduced fuel efficiency. Luckily, checking your tread wear is simple. Look at the tread pattern. You'll probably see something called "tread wear bars." These are small bridges between your treads. Look at the tread pattern and you'll see the beginnings of these bars start to form between the treads, or running across the tires. As the tires wear, these bars will become flush with the tire's tread. If they are, then it's time to change your tires.
Another simple trick is to head for the change jar. Just grab a penny and place it upside down with Lincoln facing you in the center of the tread (at the thickest part of the tire). If you can see the top of his head it's time to get new tires.
"By following these tips, you might not quite be ready to join a NASCAR pit crew just yet, but you'll be well on your way to becoming a true gear head," says Wood.

Cedarburg native Josh Thompson unveils video for 'Wanted Me Gone'
Just in time for a concert swing through his home state, Wisconsin's biggest national country star, Josh Thompson, has released the video for his new song, "Wanted Me Gone." The song is the second single from Thompson's sophpmore album, "Turn It Up," which was released in April. It is already following the first song, "Cold Beer With Your Name On It" toward the country radio top 40.

The video finds Thompson addressing his ex from the tailgate of a pickup filled with his belongings and sitting defiantly in a lawn chair under a window with his clothes - and even a whitetail archery target- raining down on him. »Read Full Blog Post

vintermann wrote:What I'm wondering is what Parson's change of plan means. He wants to take out the king, obviously, but how does that really help with the whole inferno business, beyond taking out one more unit? I don't think Slately's bonus is all that big.
Also, I don't think Parson knows about the double-business, or that Tramennis is now heir.
Taking the city requires capturing or killing all the enemy units in the garrison, which at the moment includes Slately and the couple of guys with him. So Parson needs to do that.
I'd say we can be fairly sure Parson doesn't have any idea the actual tactical situation on the ground. Not that Jetstone forces have vacated the city, that Slately is dead and Slately is a double soon to disappear, that Trem is heir etc. He might consider it a stroke of luck they can catch the king - he might be thinking a captured king could be used as leverage to achieve something, or force something. Or that killing him could still end Jetstone.
If Slately is smart he'll make Parson waste his time with him, knowing he'll be gone next turn and Parson will be left with nothing.
Staberinde wrote:Prediction: Ace will get decrypted and will fight for GK sometime soon.
His hardware and combat ideas synch excellently with Parson. It's going to be a real waste if Parson - Ace pairing is not explored.
I'd prefer he didn't get decrypted, I don't like the thought of him sucking up to Wanda due to the effects of decryption (it is eased somewhat knowing he can turn). Him with Parson is an interesting idea - the one guy on Erf world that would know the potential of his art and be able to suggest wild things. I also think it would be interesting if he remained on the opposing side somehow - Parson suddenly dealing with enemies that use guns and things, how does that effect his strategies? The RCC2 would then have at least two dollmancers, Ace could start a Renaissance motivated by the necessity of updating to better fight GK.
Course if he did die Trem and the other casters will have taken away a new found respect for the dollmancers art while Parson will still be mostly ignorant of it (who in Spacerock can tell him about Jetpacks and rayguns at this rate?) - perhaps they will suggest to Don he get his dollmancer to follow Ace's lead.

Winter does not officially begin until Dec. 21, but this past weekend saw temperatures plunge and they aren't likely to budge much until the weekend.
Temperatures will be cooler than normal this week after Monday, reaching into the mid-40s, according to the National Weather Service. The average high for this time of year in DC is 54 degrees, according to The Weather Channel.
The week starts out sunny and "warm" on Monday with a high of 51 degrees with increasing cloudiness into the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. (The Weather Channel says we could see 54 degrees.)
Temperatures dip Tuesday to the mid 40s. There is a 60 percent chance of rain on Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. There is about a 50 percent chance of showers Tuesday night. The Capital Weather Gang blog predicts a possible "wintry mix" Tuesday for areas north and west of DC.
Wednesday will see partly cloudy skies with highs in the mid-40s. Thursday should see sunny skies, again with cool temperatures in the 40s for the high.
By Friday, more clouds roll in but temperatures start to crawl back up into the 50s. Temperatures on Sunday should hit about 55 degrees, according to The Weather Channel.
The warmest temperatures for this time of year was 79 degrees in 1973 and 18 degrees in 1950, according to The Weather Channel.
