As with other pictures that I have posted, this series show more of the mess the recent storms have left on our doorstep. Much of this debris seems to be cuttings from shoreline cutback of weeds and brush. Do we really need to leave this stuff behind when we cut brush. All it seems to do is end up as flood-carried stormwrack.

Installing Java
Contents |
[edit] What is Java? What purpose does it serve?
"Java is a programming language and computing platform first released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. There are lots of applications and websites that will not work unless you have Java installed, and more are created every day. Java is fast, secure, and reliable. From laptops to datacenters, game consoles to scientific supercomputers, cell phones to the Internet, Java is everywhere!" (Oracle page on Java)
[edit] JRE vs. JDK
- JRE: Just the Java Virtual Machine.
- JDK: The Java Software Development Kit - this includes command line tools for launching
files, the JRE, compilers, and tools for creating Java-based programs.
[edit] Installing java
[edit] Options for JRE and JDK
On Funtoo, there are several different java packages that you can emerge:
- virtual/jre - When you emerge this, it pulls in the java runtime environment for your current profile.
- virtual/jdk - When you emerge this, it pulls in the java development kit for your current profile.
- dev-java/icedtea - A Gentoo-made binary of the IcedTea JDK, this is the JDK pulled in when you emerge
on the desktop profile. - dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin - Oracle's version of the Java Development Kit. This package and
both require you to manually download the file and place it in/usr/portage/distfiles
due to the fact that Oracle wants you to accept a license before downloading the package. - dev-java/oracle-jre-bin - Similar to the above, this only includes the Java Runtime Environment.
Note: Oracle's version of JAVA is default in Funtoo .
[edit] Emerging java -- virtual/jdk method
To install java, run the following command:
# emerge virtual/jdk
[edit] Testing to see if it emerged
To check that java installed on your system, run the following command:
$ java -version
If you get something like this, you are ready to use java!:
java version "1.7.0_21"OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.3.9) (Gentoo build 1.7.0_21-b02)OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
To be double sure that the java package you emerged is functional, you can run the following:
$ java-config --list-available-vms
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*) IcedTea JDK 220.127.116.11 [icedtea-bin-7]
[edit] Using the java command
[edit] Overview of the command
The java command can be run like so:
- java [options] class [argument ...]
- java [options] -jar file.jar [argument ...]
[edit] Example command usage
Compiling code:
$ javac -d bin -sourcepath src -cp lib/lib1.jar;lib/lib2.jar src/com/example/Application.java
Running code:
$ java -cp bin;lib/lib1.jar;lib/lib2.jar com.example.Application
Running a jarfile:
$ java -jar Application.jar

A fat tire out back and a final belt drive get the power to the ground and look good doing it.

Pushing Daisies, ABC's self-described "forensic fairy tale" about a man who could bring dead people back to life with the touch of a finger, was easily one of the most interesting and daring television shows in years.
Maybe a little too daring. Pushing Daisies, with its extremely distinctive visual style, was a critical and popular hit upon its debut, but its first season was cut short by the writers' strike after only nine episodes. When it came back last fall for a second season, ratings were much lower, and the show was soon canceled.
Last Saturday, after a total of only 22 episodes, the network aired what had become the show's series finale.
But what if the show, like Celine Dion's heart, had gone on?
We decided to ask the creator, Bryan Fuller, who is also the creator of Dead Like Me, the co-creator of Wonderfalls, and the writer and co-executive producer of the well-received first season of Heroes (on which he is now working again).
What we discovered is that, in addition to being very talented and very prolific, he's also a heck of a nice guy.
TheTorchOnline: So the last episode of Pushing Daisies turned out to be the series finale. But it looked like you were able to sort of wrap things up at the very end. How did that come about?
Bryan Fuller: We knew when we were shooting it that it was our last episode essentially. After we got into post and it was like, "Okay. That's our last episode and it ends on a cliffhanger." Because, as scripted, the last moment of the show was they open the door, and Chuck says to Vivian and Lily, "I'm alive," and then it cuts to black. That would set up our back nine arc, which we were going to bring back George Hamilton as Ned's father, and we just had so many balls up in the air that I was looking forward to bringing down and writing, but we just never got the opportunity.
In post, it was like, "OK, can't end on a cliffhanger on our last episode ever," so it really was a mad scramble to write and see if we could get the visual effects. We couldn't roll film on anything because production was axed.
TTO: So you didn't reshoot anything, that was all just footage that you had?
BF: Yeah, everything was footage that we had. For instance, Bill Powloski, who was our visual effects supervisor on the show and did such a wonderful job, really came through for us in this last episode. He went to all the houses that we had been dealing with over the twenty-two episodes of the show, and was like, "We have no money, but we'd like to do this sequence at the end to give some semblance of closure for the show. Can anybody help us?"
And everybody helped us. We had shots that were donated. We had the big shot of going through town past all the landmarks that we'd seen in the series. That was like a $90,000 effects shot that we paid $8000 for. They donated to us because they liked the show, and they were sad to see it go, and they were upset that we weren't able to end it properly.
It was a really warm and wonderful that even the people and the visual effects houses who had contributed to the show were there right up to the last moment and willing to whatever they could to make sure that we had the best possible ending we could have under the circumstances.
TTO: How much of the series did you actually have outlined? The folks at Supernatural said they have a five year plan, and I'm always skeptical when I hear something like that.
BF: I figured I knew very clearly the rest of the second season, and then I knew what the third season was going to be.
TTO: What was the third season going to be?
BF: The Empire Strikes Back. You're separating R2D2 and C3PO and sending them off into two different directions, and so that was going to be Chuck and Ned. Chuck was going to go off with the father, and Ned was going to try to chase her down.
That was the heart of it, and part of the thing that was going to be part and parcel of the third season was Chuck being exposed and what happens when part of your family shows up and says, "Just kidding! I wasn't murdered on the beach in Aruba."
What does she have to deal with in that situation, and obviously Olive was going to have this huge falling out. Those events that were in that last little snippet of [that last episode, called] "Kerplunk," with that whole tale of how she came to open the Intrepid Cow, the macaroni and cheese palace, was going to be a huge arc for Olive, why she got there and what brought her to those circumstances.
I was really excited about telling those stories. I was excited about shifting the dynamics around with those characters. What would happen when Lily had to move in with Chuck because Vivian kicked her out. The plan was to keep Wendie Malick, who played Cora, Vivian and Lily's AquaDarling rival, on as a reoccurring character for the rest of the second season.
There were all those little pieces, not to mention the pocket watches with Dwight Dixon, and Chuck's dad and Ned's dad, and Emerson's daughter. It was just a crazy amount of material that kept generating story. It could have gone on for a while.
I could see how the various story threads were going to unfold over the next season and a half. I could honestly say I could see where we were going through the end of season three, then I was hoping that sometimes during season three, season four would occur to me. [laughs]
TTO: You've got the ultimate protection against Cheers' Sam and Diane ever getting together and sleeping together. They say that ruins a show.
BF: Right.
TTO: Were you going to develop the love story, or were were they always going to stay physically apart?
BF: They were coming up with innovative ways to overcome the no touching, barriers like sheets of plastic dividing the bed and the car. We were going to see them develop romantically before it all blew up at the end of the season and Chuck ran off to see the world with her father.
The sexual aspect was never too big of a hurdle, because if I was in that situation, I'd throw on a plastic suit and start rubbing. There were ways around that. That seemed like the lowest hurdle of the relationship. It definitely created bigger ones down the line, but they kind of figured that one out. I figured if they didn't figure that one out pretty quickly, it would be hard to really buy their situation as realistic.
I mean, really, he puts on a condom and you go to town.
TTO: Were we ever going to find out where this power came from in the first place?
BF: No. I had a really strong belief after seeing The Phantom Menace and hearing about midichlori and that's why Jedi are special, it just left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wanted to keep the magic of "this is his ability and this is what he can do," but there's no why or where it came from, and he's not going into why or where it came from, it's just going to complicate his life in interesting ways. That was really a reaction to that first Star Wars prequel that really took the magic away from being a Jedi, and I didn't want to take the magic away from what Ned can do.
TTO: Good answer. You've mentioned in other interviews that you were going to pitch Pushing Daisies as a movie and there was a comic book in the works. I know the comic book is happening, but did anything happen on the movie front?
BF: I think because the show wasn't a huge hit, the movie is sadly unlikely. I think it's a great film franchise, but good luck getting anybody to do any kind of movie these days, much less something from a failed television show.
The idea is to do what I was going to as a feature script, I'm going to do as a comic book story. Hopefully, there will be some success with the comic, and that might be able to generate some kind of film franchise future. It's all very much a long shot, but it's definitely something the cast really wants to do, I want to do, everybody who's worked on the series. There's such warmth from everyone who worked on the show that we'd love to get together again.
Right now, I'm outlining the comic, the first issue. I'm going through and breaking it out. We've got the comic series arc all shaped, and now I just need to go into the individual episodes and break them out in terms of box by box in the comic book. Then we'll have that out by the end of the year.
TTO: Does it pick up where the series left off? We don't have an origin story or start over again, do we?
BF: Well, it is a bit of an origin story, but not like the series. We don't go through the introduction of the ability, but a whole new story starts. If you haven't seen the TV series, you'll get everything you need to understand the story in the first episode. In a way, it is a restart, but it's not a reboot, if that makes sense.
TTO: As you look back over the series, the buzz was so great at the debut — it was the show everybody was talking about, and the reviews were great, and the ratings were good. And then there was the writers' strike. When you look back at the whole series, is that what you think destroyed the show's momentum?
BF: I really have to say it was the writers' strike. We lost our momentum, we were off the air for almost a year, ten or eleven months we were off the air. As much as the billboards in Los Angeles and New York are great for the people who live in Los Angeles and New York, all the cities in between weren't really aware we were coming back. Ten months is a long time to say, "Yeah, I remember that." And people generally don't.
TTO: And you can only be the fresh new thing everybody's talking about one time, and then people move on.
BF: Exactly. I would say the writers' strike didn't do us any favors, even though initially it seemed like it did, but that was wrong. They kind of killed the show. So thanks, writers' strike!
TTO: I just read Samantha Who, the same thing. I was shocked when that show was canceled.
BF: I was too!
TTO: Not only was it one of the best shows on TV, it was one of the breakout hits. The writers' strike is a little bit like how the flutter of a butterfly's wings has endless repercussions.
BF: Yeah, and Christina Applegate is so infectiously charming.
TTO: Who knew? Pushing Daisies was so different, and the fantastical elements were so unique, so unlike anything on television. Where did this come from? Is fantasy the kind of stories you were always gravitating to as a child?
BF: I love big brush stokes. I think Pushing Daisies told stories with a very big brush, but you could see the hairs of the brush within each stroke. It was just so much fun. It kind of took on a life of its own.
When I was writing the pilot, I had no idea where everything was going to go. That kind of took shape while we were filming the pilot. When I was writing it, I was kind of like, "Oh my God! Where is this going to go? What am I going to do? What's going to generate the stories? How do I keep this from stagnating?"
Once you write it, and you're on set, and you're watching all the actors bring it to life like lightning in Frankenstein's castle, it just takes on such a life of its own, it then becomes its own muse, if you follow. It really created its own universe. I can take responsibility for the pilot and all those characters, but once the cast steps into place and you get a team on board, everybody elevates it, and your understanding of the show is so fluid, and you become a passenger. Yeah, you could be driving, but you're not always in control in terms of the story. That's the very exciting part.
Right now, I'm developing new stuff, and I'm sort of thinking, "Oh my God. What am I going to do? Pushing Daisies was so good and fun and dense," and then I think, "Well, it didn't start out that way." It started out with me trying to figure out what I liked about the characters. "Well, I think Chuck should be making honey for the homeless. What would a person like that do?" You just have to sort of go back in and build it brick by brick.
TTO: Are you working on any other fantasy or fantasy-esque shows?
BF: Right now, I'm working on two pilots for NBC, one is a sitcom and one is an hour-long. The sitcom right now has a very small flavor of magic, but it's very grounded. It's probably the most grounded thing I've written. I'm working on that. Hopefully, we'll be taking that in to NBC in couple weeks. And I'm fleshing out an hour-long that is a little more genre, but hopefully I'll be doing a few projects for NBC. I've got a pocketful of idea that I would like to see come to fruition.
TTO: In addition to your work on Heroes. My God, I don't know how you have time!
BF: [laughs] I stay up all night.
TTO: There you go. I'm so sad that the show is no more, but on the other hand, that frees you up to do two new shows. Maybe they'll both get picked up and we'll get twice as much Bryan Fuller.
BF: Knocking on wood.

Dow falls 44 as tech, housing shares weigh on stocks
The blue chips slip for a 4th day; the S&P 500 has dropped for 5 straight days. European and U.S. worries push down on markets. Housing shares fall on a decline in new-home sales. Crude oil falls below $90.
Stocks finished lower today as weakness in technology, energy and housing stocks and the re-emergence of big worries about Europe combined to take the major indexes down.
While the losses weren't huge, they do appear to confirm a trend: The market is heading lower. The Dow Jones industrials ($INDU) were down for the fourth day in a row. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index's ($INX) loss was its fifth straight, and the Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) suffered its third decline in a row.
While riots in Spain and Greece over potential austerity measures drove European stocks down sharply, it was the technology sector that commanded the most attention in the United States. Apple (AAPL) fell $8.36 to $665.18 -- its fourth decline in the last five days. Semiconductor shares struggled in part because of Apple and weakness in SanDisk (SNDK) and Jabil Circuit (JBL). The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index ($SOX) is down nearly 5% this week alone.
Energy stocks moved lower as crude oil (-CL) in New York dropped below $90 a barrel for the first time since early August. The crude decline reflects renewed worries about Europe's debt crisis after the protests in Greece and Spain. The yield on Spain's 10-year bond rose to 6.064% from Tuesday's 5.75%.
The Dow closed down 44 points to 13,414. The blue chips had been down as many as 51 points around 11 a.m. ET. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ($INX) fell 8 points to 1,433. The Nasdaq tumbled 24 points to 3,094. The Nasdaq-100 Index ($NDX), dominated by Apple, was down 23 points to 2,782.
Article continues below.This downtrend comes with just two trading days left in September and the third quarter. The Dow is up 2.5% for the month, with the S&P 500 up 1.9% and the Nasdaq up 0.9%. For the quarter, the Dow is up 4.1%, while the S&P 500 is up 5.2% and the Nasdaq up 5.4%.
Housing stocks, which have been the darlings of the market for most of the year, were selling off after new-home sales fell slightly in August from July, though the sales rate was still up 28% from a year ago. PulteGroup (PHM) was off 76 cents to $15.30. Ryland (RYL) dropped $1.81 to $30.01.

Market has lost its mojo
The market has been unable to move higher since the Federal Reserve decided on Sept. 13 to keep low rates until 2015 and start buying $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities a month in a bid to stimulate the economy.
The decision has been controversial, with conservative economists contending the move risks setting off a new round of inflation at the very least and may simply do little for the economy.
The S&P 500 is off 2.8% from its intraday high on Friday and has fallen below 1,434.56, its close on Sept. 12, the day before the Fed announced its decision.
A big reason for the pullback is not so much the Fed but a slowing of the domestic economy as well as continued stress in the global economy. You could see that stress when Federal Express (FDX) and Caterpillar (CAT) recently lowered their outlooks.
In addition, U.S. CEOs are less optimistic about the economic recovery than at any time in three years, a new Business Roundtable survey says. More CEOs expect to cut jobs (34%) over the next six months than to raise capital spending (30%). In the trade group's second-quarter survey, those expecting more spending outnumbered those seeing job cuts by two to one.
New-home sales slip
Sales of new single-family homes in the U.S. fell slightly in August but held near two-year highs. Sales dipped to 373,000 from July's slightly revised level of 374,000, the Commerce Department said. Economists had been looking for a sales rate of 380,000, according to Briefing.com.
The median sales prices, however, soared by 11.2% in August to $256,900, the highest level in more than five years and the biggest monthly increase ever recorded.
Housing data released Tuesday showed home prices increased for the fourth month in a row, to their highest level in nearly two years.
Applications for home mortgages rose 2.8% last week, the Mortgage Bankers Association said today, as interest rates dropped to record lows in the wake of the Federal Reserve's latest stimulus efforts.
Technology, energy stocks lag
Technology was the market's weakest sector, followed by energy and consumer discretionary stocks. The latter reflects the selling in housing shares. The leading sector was utilities, as investor interest in predictable returns grew.
Among energy shares that moved lower were: Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Noble (NE), Diamond Offshore Drilling (DO) and Halliburton (HAL).
Only eight of the 30 Dow stocks were higher, led by Hewlett-Packard (HPQ),
Boeing (BA) and Alcoa (AA). American Express (AXP), Bank of America (BAC) and Walt Disney (DIS) were the laggards.
Only 18 Nasdaq-100 stocks were higher, along with 131 S&P 500 stocks.
Research In Motion (RIMM) and Netflix (NFLX) were the Nasdaq-100 leaders, with NetApp (NTAP) and Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) the laggards.
Dean Foods (DF) and Best Buy (BBY) were the S&P 500 leaders, with Jabil Circuit, PulteGroup and Lennar (LEN) the laggards.
Leaders and laggards
Jabil Circuit fell $2.07 to $18.90 after the electronics contract manufacturer gave a less-than-stellar quarterly report and forecast late Tuesday.
Blyth (BTH) shares fell $6.89 to $25.68 after the company's nutritional-supplement unit withdrew plans to go public, citing uncertain market conditions. ViSalus, which focuses on weight management, energy drinks and nutritional supplements, registered for an estimated IPO of up to $175 million last month.
Fortinet (FTNT) fell 83 cents to $25.02 as the network security company lost Chief Financial Officer Ken Goldman on Tuesday. He was hired as CFO at Yahoo (YHOO), which was down 7 cents to $15.61.
Research In Motion (RIMM) shares were up 40 cents to $7 after surprising investors by announcing a burst of new subscribers. RIM had 80 million subscribers at the end of its most recent quarter, up 2 million from a year ago. The subscriber numbers countered Wall Street expectations that RIM would post its first-ever net loss of subscribers in the last quarter. However, most of the new subscribers likely come from emerging markets, using lower-end handsets.
Truck-maker Paccar (PCAR) fell 65 cents to $39.91 after being downgraded to "neutral" at Robert W. Baird. Baird also cut its price target for Paccar to $39 from $40. Paccar has also announced production cuts in the face of slowing global truck demand.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
Pass it on 'till eternity, USE IT!!!
Obama: Gone!
Borders: Controlled!
Congress: Obey it's own laws
Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
Drug Free: Mandatory Drug Screening before Welfare!
NO freebies to: Non-Citizens!
We the people are coming!
Here's the equation:

Any commie cretins want to challenge me on this ?
As for Europe... is there anyone except Wall Street still out here thinking those countries are going to make good on all that Shark Bond debt they're buried in? If so, wake up. Banks and Big Business invested every Dollar they could find overseas and guess what? They're not being paid back!!!! If you think stocks are any better, you have a Kool Aid addiction.
Close the banks. End the Federal Reserve. Get rid of Wall Street. if we aren't 100% invested in job recovery RIGHT NOW, we won't be here by the New Year.
What a PERFECT discription of our currect situation!! Misanthrope did you write that or does someone else get credit?
That is brilliant!!!
Housing sales are down...last month that problem was history. What a load of garbage the media and this administration is shoveling. Four more years of this and we will be Greece and Spain. Western Europe is broke and the citizens riot in the street. They have already taken the money from the wealthy and their problem still persists. Think there is a lession to be learned here?
1. I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever
I want. I've decided to marry my German Shepherd.
2. I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a
gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of
gas at 15% isn't.
3. I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job
of spending the money I earn than I would.
4. I voted Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody
is offended by it.
5. I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and
I know that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers
and thieves.
6. I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if
it will rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt
away in ten years if I don't start driving a Prius.
7. I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about millions of babies
being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.
8. I voted Democrat because I think illegal aliens have a right to free
health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take
away the social security from those who paid into it.
9. I voted Democrat because I believe that businesses should not be
allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give
the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.
10. I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the
Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never
get their agendas past the voters.
11. I voted Democrat because I think that it's better to pay billions for
their oil to people who hate us, but not drill our own because it
might upset some endangered beetle, gopher or fish.
12. I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my azz,
it's unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.
For all you lefties that think this election is in the bag .... think again!! The economy is tanking and will continue right up to the election. The stock market and unemployment will follow ..... inflation like health care and gas prices are going up and very quickly people will realize that the country is in a world of hurt. Since Obama has been our "king" for 4 lousy years ... there is only one person to blame. THE BROWN CLOWN!
It will all come out in the debates and in the election!! R+R in 2012. Take it to the bank.
REAL Racism.
I see the usual cretins throwing the R word around like it's candy.
You want REAL racism ?
Listen to our Worst Lady , Moochelle, at the Black Caucus
(BTW, isn't the entire premise of a "black caucus" , black news or Ebony, RACISM at the highest order ?
Why yes it is.
LOOK up the meaning of racism and then tell me it isn't so ?
I digress
Our Worst Ladies most memorable quotes at the "black caucus"
Talking of the White house - " It was built in part, by slaves"
This is a play on the YOU didn't build it rant, stupidity.
WHEN did any first lady from Mrs. Lincoln on, EVER reference slavery and why NOW, if NOT PANDERING TO THE BASE ?
What will "we:" do about Obese "African American" Children" - Who gives a sheet about fat , white kids, right Moochelle ?
What will "we" do about illiteracy In urban areas ? No dumb white kids, either !
What will "we" blah, blah , blah
My question is WHO IS WE ?
Exactly, WHO is she speaking too.?
It's not whitey , is it ?
Why no, it's a separate race that our Worst Lady and Dear Leader pander too, all at the expense of the rest of the country who are not "African" American.
Were just Americans and we don't count I guess , Moochelle ?
These cretins talk about Romney , he doesn't relate to the average guy, he's pandering to the rich , blah , blah
It's ALL GOOD however , when the Worst Lady wants to exclude whitey from her desires and needs for the country.
Let's just exclude all the honkies - No problem
Surprise , it's a problem with me and millions like me.
They will find out in Nov
There isn't another first lady who ever say the sheet that comes out of this racist , bimbo , America hating , affirmative action using , WORST LADY.
She's a loser
Odd Obama has called for the outing of the ruler of Syria for killing about 12,000 civilians
Obama has killed about 50,000 civilians in Afganistan and Iraq and Pakistan and Bush before him had killed closer to 1,000,000 civilians in those wars.
seems like Obama should be calling for his own resignation if he applied his logic to himself.

Top 10 Best-Selling Cars: February 2014
Winter dragged on in February and car sales for many automakers remained in hibernation, at least for the first half of the month. Shoppers shunned popular sedans like the Honda Accord (down 12.1 percent), Ford Fusion (down 14.3 percent), Toyota Camry (down 7.3 percent) and Hyundai Sonata (down 30.1 percent). They did buy more Chevrolet Malibus and Nissan Altimas, however, placing the Altima atop the car-only pile for February, a roost it last held in March 2013.
February's Fastest- and Slowest-Selling Cars
That wasn't the only changing of the guard. Shoppers gravitated toward the Chevrolet Cruze last month (up 21.7 percent versus a weak February 2013) but drifted from the Honda Civic (down 5 percent versus an also-weak February 2013); the Civic hasn't been absent from the top 10 best-sellers list since September 2012.
As we expected, snow-ready cars had their day. We reported Feb. 20 that sales for all-wheel-drive vehicles were up some 20 percent in the first part of the year. Indeed, shoppers preferred off-road brands: Land Rover gained 3 percent and Subaru climbed 24 percent. Jeep saw the highest gains, with sales up 47.4 percent. Shoppers bought more Jeep Cherokees, Grand Cherokees and Wranglers than 16 other nameplates across Fiat Chrysler's five U.S. brands. Reid Bigland, head of U.S. sales, said February's harsh weather across most of the country "has been ideally suited" for the brand, which had the best February in its 73-year existence.

Congrats Chelsea!
Congrats Chelsea!
riise94 (06-05-2012)
A team in Blue was always gonna win the FACup, should've been us ...
But cant take it away from Chelsea, their money buys another Cup.
LFC also spent loads and are even below Everton in the league !
Finishing above a team who've had their worst league campaign for about 60 years is no thing to celebrate. It's a bit like celebrating beating a one-legged man in a race.
As for the final, hat's off to Chelsea. They put in a stella defensive display. I thought Liverpool should have gone in with the XI that played against Everton because I think Carroll should be playing every game now. But, I can see why Dalglish went with the XI that played against Norwich last week and I expected it. It took Carroll's introduction to show that it was the wrong decision to leave him on the bench.
Overall, Liverpool played well and probably dominated most of the game. But, it was like a Chelsea display of the Mourinho days. They made very few mistakes and were clinical with the chances they got.
If Chelsea play like that against Bayern Munich, they could add another trophy to their season. Although, Bayern are a better team than Liverpool and, more importantly, can counter attack (which Liverpool can't do very well at all). Plus, it is in Bayern's stadium.
scouseman (06-05-2012)
I saw a quote on the BBC website ticker yesterday, "Liverpool spend £120million to beat Cardiff"! bit harsh but I can see where he was coming from.
ITV showed this immediately after the game
The Tv cameras were not directly in line, which is why it look at 1st hand that Cech had just managed to keep it out. The technology would seem to prove otherwise.
Time to sort out this nonsense and get the goal line technology in place.
Shame we only turned up for 30 mins
You'll Never Walk Alone
scouseman (06-05-2012)
What upsets me most is not the losing as such as that is football but that we just played most of the game with the handbrake on. We were so slow and lost. When we went 2-0 down and Carroll came on we went at Chelsea and they could not handle it. Just wish we had shown that from the start. Come all the way to the final and play so poorly. That is what gets me most. Carroll should of played from the start Luis looked very isolated and we do not get many players in the box when we attack. Fair play to Chelsea they looked very compact and very well drilled defensively and they were clinical front of goal. You just knew Drogba would score
NJKris mate its the first time I have seen that shot of the goal that never was. So hard to give it though. What is needed badly is goal line technology. You cannot use that as a excuse we were poor until the last 30mins and sadly Kenny got his tactics wrong when we went at them we were a different team.
If I put my Chelsea hat on and look objectively at the game they would say it is karma for Luis Garcia and that CL goal in 2005. So now we are even.
NJKris (06-05-2012)
There should be a new Wiziwig award named in your honour scouseman. You are top class as ever (unlike most of the Liverpool fans I encountered yesterday,I have to say!) They may sound the same but the difference in Everton fans compared to Liverpools's is amazing. You really wouldn't think they came from the same city. To say there is a bit of bad blood between our fans these days is a bit of an understatement as the handful of reds who were sat in our block found out when they dared to celebrate Carroll's goal. Serves them right for being there though. If you somehow make it into the opposition end,its common sense to keep your head down especially if you score!
The game,well I thought we done well in the first 25 minutes or so and looked comfortable at 2 0. After you scored though,you battered us and Andy Carroll really made the difference. He hung on for dear life and that last 20 mins felt like an hour for a Chelsea fan in the ground. On the balance of play you deserved ET at least but I'm glad it didn't come to that as we were dead at the end and if you had equalised,you would of gone on to win. I haven't watched a replay of the game yet so I don't know about the ghost goal. At the time,I thought it was in I must admit although it seems it wasn't from what others have said. If it did cross the line,well you owe one of those from 2005!
I'm absolutely delighted we won despite an unconvincing display. 4 FA Cups in six seasons and 7 in total. That's the same as the team who's fans claim we have no history!
scouseman (06-05-2012)
Thank you so much for your kind words in regards myself riise94 mate. As a respected member of this great site in means a great deal that I have your respect. Hope you enjoyed your victory and the celebrations afterwards. How did Liverpool fans get in the Chelsea end?? Must be from back market tickets outside the ground or something. I hope it did not spoil it for you too much. Once again congratulations and all the best for Germany. What is important is not the game in Germany but if you will get a beer in Munich. I somehow have my reservations.
riise94 (08-05-2012)
Finishing above LFC wont be a great achievement by us, but it would be a laugh
And it will be a damning indictment of how far they have fallen especially given their history and the money they've spent.
We should still be disappointed not to have finished above the likes of Newcastle...
The thing that makes me laugh about that Luis Garcia goal is the complete lack of acceptance that it should have been a penalty and a sending off for Cech. The ref took the easy option and awarded a goal when the ball hadn't crossed the line. He should have had more courage and awarded the penalty and sent Cech off. We wouldn't have been hanging on for dear life at the end because the game would have been well and truly wrapped up at that point. The failure of the ref allows people, who don't know better and/or should know better, to talk about Chelsea being harshly dealt with in that situation. They were not. They got the benefit of the doubt but were not good enough to utilise that benefit and score in 97mins of football at Anfield. Simple as that.
In the game yesterday, Chelsea looked exhausted in those last 10mins or so. That doesn't bode well for Munich because Bayern have more pace and movement than Liverpool and a striker who is scoring goals.
The tactic of playing Suarez up front on his own is not one that should ever be repeated. Suarez has no pace at all. He's quite slow for a striker. He needs to be on the ball around the penalty area, not the halfway line. Carroll is actually quicker and stronger. A much better option for a 4-5-1 formation. It's one thing to play Suarez up front on his own against a Norwich team who can't defend very well. Quite another against a Chelsea team who have reverted back to their old style of defend, defend, defend (not a criticism of Chelsea because if I were their manager, that's how I would have them play too - rather than the shoddy type of defending we saw under AVB). scouseman is spot on. Suarez was isolated. I was screming for Spearing or Henderson to be dragged off at half time and Carroll introduced. I said to my mate that Dalglish is a reactive manager and there's no way he would bring Carroll on half time. I was not wrong. It took going down 2-0 for Dalglish to react and introduce Carroll. That, I'm afraid, is management that is just not good enough.
scouseman (06-05-2012)
I'll always remember Moyes in May 2005, sat in his conservatory with glass of champers in hand, proclaiming how Everton were "the best team on Merseyside". Within weeks, Liverpool were Champions of Europe and champers was very flat.
The reality is, I don't care if Everton finish above us or not. Frankly, Liverpool fans and Everton fans fighting over the right to finish higher than each other in the league is like two bald men fighting over a comb. So Everton can have their comb and see if they can find some use for it.
Unfortunately for you, your memory is short. Mine is not. It was only 18 months ago LFC was being savaged by Hicks and Gillett, in debt of nearly £300m and losing £50m a year in interest payments alone. The future for the club was dire. Being able to get rid of Hicks and Gillett, clear the debts and rebuild was Liverpool's biggest success in recent times. The rebuilding process was always going to take a while. The new signings (Downing, Henderson, Adam, Enrique, Carroll and Suarez) have only been at the club for short while, less than a season for most of them. I expected more from them and I'm not convinced by some of them, but I always allow more than a season before I judge a signing.
Liverpool have failed to score goals at Anfield. Just 10 more goals would probably be worth 15 points at Anfield alone. Having watched every performance at Anfield this season, I am happy in my belief that Liverpool are only a small way off being a lot, lot better in the league. We haven't fallen a long way at all and time will back me on that one.
The history and the money we've spent are neither here or there. You would love our history and you would love to have the money we've spent. Jealousy is never a good foundation for opinion
as much as I'm happy we won, I feel even more relieved we didn't lose. don't want to imagine the horrors of that scenario and then going to Anfield come tuesday.
first half all good, we got our goal and things looked comfortable. I feared however that we would become complacent and not really going for that 2nd goal in the first half would come at a price, Liverpool could only get better in the second half. Fortunately for us too much didn't change and instead we managed to go 2-0 up.
Caroll came on, we somewhat gifted them a goal (can't blame Bosingwa too much). I was very disappointed with our unability to deal with Liverpool's pressure in the last 30 minutes and I cannot for the life of me understand why di Matteo didn't make any more subs besides one that didn't change things at all really.
as for us "buying another cup" we had two recent big money signings playing yesterday, Ramires (2010, ~£18M) and Mata (2011, £~23M). Lot of money yes but hardly eyebrow raising in this day and age. I'm very much appreciative of how far Abramovich has got us but money alone does not buy success, there have been several examples in football over the last years.
I guess some people always feel the need to discredit us to make themselves feel better about their own clubs.
As much as i hate Carroll i thought he played really well coming on, was hoping for extra time tbh.
Well done Chelsea anyway.
scouseman (06-05-2012)
That's the biggest criticism I have of Dalglish - the repeated mistakes. I wonder what Kevin Keen and Steve Clark are doing in their coaching capacities? Surely they can see that Johnson and Enrique are not playing well? Surely they can all see that Suarez is a second striker who needs to play off a lead-the-line striker against teams that can defend? Surely they can see that Downing is unwilling to take a full-back on? Surely they can see that you can't play both Henderson and Spearing in the same team?
One thing is for sure, I'll be glad to see Lucas back in the team. He's a player who got so much stick from Liverpool fans. I remember sticking up for him many times when talking to my mates and other Liverpool fans. Now they all say they can't wait to get him back in the team. He really has been a big loss. That said, Meireles has been a big loss too. I'll say it again, how can he be surplus to requirements to a team with only one genuine attacking central-midfield threat (Gerrard) but good enough to get Chelsea to a Champions League final and win an FA Cup medal, I'll never know? The answer is, he wasn't surplus to requirements. He was told he would be given a contract that is in line with the higher earners at the club if he made himself a 1st team regular at Liverpool. He did that, but the improved contract was not forthcoming. When the offer from Chelsea came in, Liverpool saw a chance to get their money back on a player who, at 29yo, was only going to lose value over the next couple of seasons. It was an out-and-out financial decision and an awful footballing one that has probably cost Liverpool more than £12m they received for him.
I am not questioning the greatness of Kenny as a player or for what he has done for Liverpool FC. The man will always be a legend at LFC, however I am thinking that the only reason he is still manager is that he is living off past glories. Only because of who he is that he has this time to remain and the fans and owners have been supportive of him till now. He has been very tactically out of touch with the game that I doubt that if it was any other manager he would of been given his P45 and told to get on his bike. Just my view.
cleanprophet (06-05-2012), NJKris (06-05-2012)
For sure that is what is happening and it's understandable. Dalglish was at the club many years ago and worked with the likes of Paisley and Fagan (the old boot room connection is there). A club like Liverpool needs a manager with charisma. It's possibly more important than tactical ability. Look at Fergie for example. Tactically, he's not a good manager at all. Fergie doesn't do tactics very often. When he does, he comes unstuck. He has an idea of how he wants his team to play and it's old fashioned style of using the wings and working hard. His skill is in finding the right players and getting the best out of them. There's no reason why someone like Dalglish cannot have a similar approach (an approach he will have grown with as a player and manager in the 80's and 90's at Liverpool) and no reason why he can't spot the right type of players and get the best out of his players.
The worrying thing is, he is not getting the best out of his players and is selecting players who are not delivering on a regular basis. You have to admire his loyalty to his players, but that loyalty is something he cannot afford. Fergie has loyalty to players, but only a limited loyalty. When it comes to it, he can be ruthless in doing what is best for the team and club. Dalglish needs to be more ruthless in how he selects players. If you play well, you keep the shirt for the next game. If you don't, you're out.
The reality is, there are no other strong candidates out there to take over if Dalglish moves on from the Liverpool job. The fact that Liverpool are not in he Champions League doesn't help on that score either. So, despite my concerns and complaints about Dalglish, I think he probably has to have another season to try and right some of the wrongs we have seen this season. As I've said a few times now, I don't think Liverpool are far off being a top 4 team. A little more clinical at Anfield and we would have 30 goals there rather than 20 and that would translate into something not far off an additional 15 points.
scouseman (07-05-2012)
I don't know how they got there mate but probably via some of (our) many ticket touts. Na it didn't spoil it at all - it was pretty funny really and it's something I've done myself. You have to weigh up situations like that when you are in them and it's advisable to keep your head especially when you score. I did the same at Old Trafford (alone I may add) and couldn't control myself either when Gudjohnson scored for us but there was only one of me and Man U fans around me let me live. If it had been at Anfield they wouldn't of.
I can't wait for Germany mate. I'm only going on a daytrip at club prices (£649.34p all in) but I'm lucky to be going at all so there's no way I won't enjoy it. Win or lose,its going to be ****ing great.

Love it!
December 08, 2009
This is really a good pair of ski pant! It keeps me warm enough and the style is fashionable, too! I love it! I am 5"9'tall and 132lbs.The medium size fits me well.
February 15, 2013
I bought these pants a few years ago & loved them so much that I wanted them in a fun color. The blue is bright! The fit of these L's is a little snugger than my pair from a few years ago. L is a 10-12. I have big thighs & these are a little tight at the seams that go horizontally across the leg. I love that they are boot cut--they have ample room to fit over my boots AND boot heaters. They fit more true to the waist which I like. They aren't low riders like snowboard pants. They don't offer much insulation so you will want them roomy enough to wear a layer(s) underneath.
Pros: Lasts foreverLove them!
February 17, 2010
I'm about 5'4 and they are perfect in length and fit well. Plenty of room for a pair of leggings underneath. I can't wait to try them out!
Stylish and Fun!
December 20, 2011
Very well made pant! Stylish and flattering-- not just your regular ski pant. Great functional pockets and waist cinching tabs. Sits low on the waist; basically at hips in front with a slight rise in the back to cover the backside comfortably. Overall very comfortable! Feel as though they would be warm, without being bulky- insulation is spread evenly throughout. They appear very well made and durable. I trust North Face completely! The only drawback: I am too short (I'm 5'1; 125lbs) for these to fit just right--ordered a small. The waist, hip and leg width are just right, but alas they are quite long on me! Furthermore, on my short legs the cargo pockets and articulated knees fit a fair bit below where they're supposed to. I wish these were cut in Short length!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, PerformanceNice looking pants
July 09, 2010
These are not as thick as i expected them to be and they sit low on the waist. Seems to be very nice material, but the fit was just not right.
Nice pants good quality
May 15, 2009
My body measurement/style is as follows: Height: 5'3 Weight: 112lbs Inseam: 29" True Waist: 27" Hips: 36" (narrow hips, larger seat) These pants have a 9" rise in the front and 12" in the back. Although listed as low-rise they sit at the belly button level. I ordered a size medium (I'm normally an xs-s in other brands). I plan on wearing layers underneath as they are lightly insulated. I may have been able to wear the small as the medium fits with a generous fit, surprisingly so in the seat being that I have a larger seat for a small frame. The waist has adjustable tabs which is good. The leg length is 31.5" and fits a bit long. They Look nice with the K Jacket ( again I had to order a Medium as the K jacket limits shoulder movement. The New Taupe Color matches Nicely with the K Jacket in New taupe although the texture is slightly different. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet. But from testing the fit and overall features (Crotch vents, lots of pockets, waist adjustments) I would recommend them.
Great Pants
February 06, 2012
Got these pants for my first ski trip. I only wore leggings under them and my legs never got cold. Love the style, has tons of pockets. The thing I do not like though is they didn't come in a short. I am 108lbs and 5'1. I got the small regular and they are way to long. Spending that much money I should be able to get a short. Other then that they are great so far
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Cons: Cost, need to have a size short optionSolid product
February 07, 2012
Bought these pants for my wife who is a beginner snowboarder and she absolutely loved it. The fit was perfect for her (size S for her height of about 5'4"), highly waterproof, and feels very durable. She was slipping and sliding on the snow alot but the stitching and evrything was still intact at the end. These will probably last for a long time..
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great valueExactly what I wanted
November 19, 2010
I tried these pants on in the store but ordered from altrec for the pricing and color/size options. These pants are perfect for snowboarding, not too hot and very waterproof.
I really like the go-go fit
October 20, 2008
I am always looking for ski pants that have a slimming fit and are warm at the same time. I really like the Go-Go low rise boot cut fit. They were just what I have been searching for.
Great pants!
January 25, 2013
I really like the way these pants fit! They sit lower than other snow pants and it is much more flattering to a not perfectly slim figure. They are a little long, but over snow boots they will be fine.
Go go pants
January 04, 2010
Great pants! I was very warm and dry when it was 7 degrees and snowing in Vail this weekend. The fit is feminine too.
Size ran very small
February 01, 2013
Pants ran very small, couldn't even get them over my hips! Teens might fit, but anyone with a fuller figure should select a different style. Return was simple and customer service was great.
Pros: Build quality, Cons: too smallJanuary 23, 2012
Have not had the chance to try out these snow pants in the snow due to a mild winter in the Northeast. But I love the slim fit. I am 5' 2" 106 lbs and ordered an xs. The length is long enough, which I usually have trouble with small sizes being too short. I can still fit an extra layer underneath, although these pants seem to be great for warmth. I love the adjustable waistband. I am looking forward to using these in the upcoming month for snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of useThe North Face Women's Go-Go Cargo Pants Photo

Conjunctivitis is one of the most common and treatable eye infections in children and adults. Often called "pink eye," it is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the tissue that lines the inside of the eyelid. This tissue helps keep the eyelid and eyeball moist.
Conjunctivitis can be caused by a virus, bacteria, irritating substances (shampoos, dirt, smoke, and especially pool chlorine), allergens (substances that cause allergies) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Pink eye caused by bacteria, viruses, and STIs can spread easily from person to person, but is not a serious health risk if diagnosed promptly.
See your ophthalmologist (a doctor trained to treat eye conditions) or family doctor if you have any of these persistent symptoms. Ear infections also commonly occur in children who have bacterial conjunctivitis. The ophthalmologist will examine your eyes and possibly take a sample of fluid from the eyelid with a cotton swab. Bacteria or viruses that may have caused conjunctivitis can then be seen through a microscope.
Conjunctivitis can also be spread through hand contact when rubbing the eyes or touching contact lenses after touching infected genitals. Oral antibiotics in the form of pill, eye drops, or ointment are usually prescribed for treatment. Washing hands thoroughly can help prevent the spread of this type of conjunctivitis.
Being around a person who has conjunctivitis and wearing contact lenses may increase your risk of getting conjunctivitis, but the outcome is usually very good with treatment. The eyes can become re-infected. Call your doctor if symptoms last for more than three days after treatment.
Non-prescription "artificial tears," a type of eye drops, may help relieve itching and burning from irritating substances. (Note: Other types of eye drops may irritate the eyes and should not be used.) Do not use the same bottle of drops in the other eye if it is not infected.
If your child has bacterial or viral conjunctivitis, keep him or her home from school or day care until he or she is no longer contagious.

Child Care Subsidy Use and the Relationship to Parental Work and Child Care Quality in Rural Communities
Principal Investigator(s): | De Marco, Allison; Vernon-Feagans, Lynne; |
Date Issued: | 2009 |
Description: | The purpose of this project is to understand how low-income rural families use child care subsidies, the quality of care they receive, and how subsidy use is related to child outcomes and parental work conditions. The project addresses these topics with data from the Family Life Project. The research questions include: (1) What percentage of rural families who are income-eligible for subsidies and use child care take up subsidies, and do the arrangements they make differ from (a) economically disadvantaged families who do not use subsidies; (b) economically advantaged families using child care?; (2) How do the work conditions of families who take-up child care subsidies differ from those who do not? Specifically, is job quality higher and more stable (e.g. more flexible, fewer turnovers, provide benefits, higher wages, more stable work hours)?; and (3) Is context, as measured by neighborhood disadvantage and geographic isolation, related to subsidy take-up? |

Familiar Fear Returns in Gaza
(c) 2012, The Washington Post.
JABALYA, Gaza Strip — Youssef Abdel Hamid's ambulance crew spent the first three hours of its shift Tuesday picking up charred and broken bodies: the man struck dead in his potato patch, the 15-year-old boy who perished with his sheep herd, the father who was blown to pieces in an attack that injured his son.
"Usually, we find the dead in fragments. We pick up a hand here, a leg there," said Yusri al-Masry, a paramedic.
A week of conflict has passed in the Gaza Strip. And despite swirling rumors of an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire, the feeling here Tuesday was that the fighting would go on, that the paramedics' grisly rounds would continue.
Israel's ongoing offensive, dubbed Pillar of Defense by its planners, has been a less-deadly assault than its predecessor four years ago, Operation Cast Lead.
The Palestinian death count, at 134 as of Tuesday night, is significantly lower than it was after the first week of Cast Lead, which claimed more than 1,400 lives. Perhaps as a result, international criticism of the current operation has been more subdued.
But for Gazans, none of that is relevant when the fear is just as real now as it was then.
The F-16s still fly low overhead, in a sudden roar of noise before the air-sucking pressure of an explosion throws grown men to the floor.
It happened twice within five minutes as Abdel Hamid's crew sat in an ambulance station in northern Gaza on Tuesday. The force of the blast shattered the glass windows and rocked the battered ambulances outside.
No one knew what target was out there in the open field where the missiles landed, just past the driveway. But such is war with Israel, the crew members said ruefully.

The Broncos released a new and updated depth chart Saturday, with some interesting changes on it.
The starting lineup remains the same on offense, with Eddie Royal continuing to hold onto that #2 wideout spot opposite Brandon Marshall. But Glenn Martinez has moved up behind Marshall.
Nate Jackson remains at the #2 spot behind Daniel Graham, with Scheffler at the #3. Jackson has worked with Graham in the team's two-tight end sets, and he started on Friday against the Packers, scoring a touchdown in the process.
Peyton Hillis holds onto the #2 fullback spot behind Cecil Sapp. He saw significant action Friday night and performed well.
On defense, Marquand Manuel is listed as the starter opposite Marlon McCree. Hamza Abdullah mans the #2 spot behind Manuel, with Roderick Rogers and Josh Barrett behind him, in that order.
Vickiel Vaughn is at #2 behind McCree.
Also, Brett Kern is listed as the starting punter.

What do y'all think about the changes and how things have progressed?
