Comfortable shoe
October 25, 2012
I recently bought this shoe for bouldering and have never been more satisfied. By climbing shoe standards this shoe was immediately comfortable (especially on the padded tongue), edged well, heel hooked, and was easy to get on and off with the velcro straps. By far my favorite shoe.
Pros: Build quality, Performancetough break-in
January 13, 2013
These shoes are fantastic! Aggressive and are great for edging. I purchased these last month and am still in the process of breaking them in (I climb approx twice a week)--it was very tight and quite painful at first, but are getting more and more comfortable with each climb. I use these both for bouldering and top rope. Very happy with this purchase. Runs small.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value, Cons: runs smallExcellent climbing shoes
July 02, 2012
I started wearing the Scarpa Vapor V's after wearing La Sportiva Miuras. The fit is nearly the same, but Scarpas are a bit cheaper. The build is great, and I love the leather lining. The soles are pretty stiff and a bit downturned. They're excellent for edging. I'm a size 6.5 street shoe and wear a 37--they seem to run a bit smaller than Miuras. They're very comfy. The only thing I'd want is bigger toe rubber, but for those few times I need it, I just switch to backup shoes. These are great all around.

Quote from Hanifa: Dear ReadersFrom a purely human standpoint, devoid of any depth of understanding and based upon mere ocular evidence, one can comprehend how it is that those of you who have had such a problem with the S*E*X aspect of Strong City might have grown imaginations regarding those events that have gone "hog-wild", as Anaiah so aptly put it.
My thought-processes function quite well I think, but try as I might, I am unable to "see" things the way you all seem to. I do not understand why (if this is not about sex and sexual attraction)the only ones Wayne Bent was called to consummate with are either beautiful and/or young women. This disparity is quite obvious to even a casual observer. Why weren't any men, homely women, or old women in need and worthy of at the very least a healing? I also wonder how all of you will feel 5, 10 or 20 years from now if the promised journey has not yet come to fruition? To be honest, I think there has been more focus within your group on the "messenger" Wayne Bent than on God. Your group is in no way unique in this...I see it quite a lot where the charasmatic pastor of a church seems to become more of a deity than God himself.
Hi Truthandjustice,
I think the purpose of the name calling is to sort of "dehumanize" everyone else, so their perspective holds less weight. The multiple uses of the word swine also reminds me of a saying my mom used to use "thou protesteth too much", which to her meant she had struck a nerve. I think what has been said on this blog has struck a nerve and for that reason has put them all on the defensive.
Bethabara said: As in the Bible and other times in history, now and then God calls people to physically act out a spiritual truth, as a strong "visual aid" in order to help people "get it." Why is this spiritual truth, then, not acted out on anyone but attractive and/or young girls and women. Why not men, why not older/less attractive woman? I think this act is not spiritual, but of the flesh.

Bend a Pencil (Using Light)
Bend a pencil using light, and find out how this illusion works.
You Will Need: - Water - Pencil - Clear Cup
What to Do:
What's the Science? An interesting property of light called refraction just took place. When light enters the water, it can't move as fast and it has to slow down slightly. It's kind of like how if you are walking, you can walk at a normal speed but if you walk in water, you can't walk quite as fast.
If light from the image enters the water straight, then the image looks normal - which was what you originally did when the pencil was straight up and down. If the light enters the water at an angle, then the change in speed between the open air and water causes the light beam to bend away from its original path. When the pencil was at an angle, the image was at a bigger angle in the water than in the air and made the pencil look like it was bent.
You can try this with other liquids and objects too. They may refract light images differently.

PronunciationThis is a page giving some general information about working on your students' pronunciation in the ESL classroom. The materials themselves can be found here: pronunciation and phonetics materials. IntroductionTeachers should always be working on student pronunciation to help them communicate more successfully. Is a student's pronunciation adequate for their level and for the tasks they need to perform? Teaching ESL pronunciation is always an important aspect of ESL courses. This site does not pretend to teach teachers how and when to work on pronunciation in the class. How to teach pronunciation to ESL students is not its main focus, but it does offer some materials for teachers to use when they decide some pronunciation work is necessary. The goal should ideally be communicative efficiency with work on individual phonemes, word stress and sentence stress and intonation. phonemesThe individual sounds that make up a language are called 'phonemes'. Standard British English has 44 phonemes although this will vary according to the accent/dialect (e.g. American English with Deep South accent). There are some materials here to help students with both recognition and production of these individual sounds, including charts of articulation. Note: The pronunciation materials here were made with standard British English in mind. Most of the materials will equally be applicable to other forms of English, but, if not, can easily be adapted. word stressNon-native speakers need to know where individual words are stressed. Some words are spelt identically but have two pronunciations which give different meanings. sentence stress and intonationThe tone of the message is often as important as the message itself. Can students recognise intonation patterns and therefore, the meaning of the message? How does a student convey doubt, boredom, uncertainty? Does the student sound like an English speaker? Does the student want to? As mentioned above, this site's aim is not to answer these questions but to offer teachers the materials to work with once they have decided how they can best improve their students' pronunciation. |

Senators Want Expanded Mental Health Coverage For Students
By KRWG News And Partners
U.S. Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich are spearheading an effort with 16 of their colleagues to expand comprehensive school-based mental health services for children. The Mental Health in Schools Act would authorize funding for grants to schools and other mental health centers to partner with community-based organizations to expand access to services for students. "Removing the stigma around mental illness and making treatment available at early ages is critical to raising a stable and productive society," said Udall. "Young people —especially in rural areas — can have a difficult time getting access to treatment and our bill would help identify issues early and ensure that students can overcome them." "Too many young people who suffer from mental illness never receive the support and services they need," said Heinrich. "This bill would change that. By expanding comprehensive school-based mental health services, students will be more likely to seek help and get the care they deserve to live healthier lives." The Mental Health in Schools Act would establish a grant program that would:
• Expand access to mental health services in schools; • Support schools that work with community-based organizations to expand access to mental health services for students; • Provide assistance through grants to schools to train staff, volunteers, families, and other members of the community to recognize the signs of behavioral health problems in students and refer them for appropriate services; and • Authorize $200 million in grant funding per year over five years, and eligible schools may apply for up to $1 million per grant year, based on the size of their student population.
In 2010, New Mexico had the fifth-highest rate of youth suicide in the country. The Mental Health in Schools Act is supported by numerous organizations, including the National Alliance for Mentally Ill-New Mexico, the New Mexico Psychological Association and the New Mexico Association of Elementary School Principals.

This brief review outlines the strong need for gathering reliable data on the livelihoods impacts of protected areas, and illustrates some of the approaches being taken. It notes that the question of social benefits of protected areas for local people is only a part of the issue at hand. There are also social benefits and costs at national levels and even at global levels. Tracking these costs and benefits at multiple scales is possible, but very difficult.
Resource Type: ReportsUNEP-WCMC produces reports for a number of fora including CITES, the European Commission and the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). Recent examples of these reports can be downloaded here in PDF format.
Resource Type: ReportsIn 1993 and 1995 the World Conservation Monitoring Centre surveyed over 600 protected area agencies throughout the world to obtain data on their budgets and staffing levels. Budget data was provided by 108 countries with 3.7 million km2 under protection (28% of global protected areas), and staffing data was provided by 78 countries with 3.0 million km2 under protection (23% of global protected areas).
Protected area budgets and staffing levels are positively correlated with economic development (per capita income) and population density. Budgets (per km2) and staffing (per 1000 km2) are negatively correlated to mean protected area size and country's biological richness. Priority countries for financial assistance, identified based on low budget inputs and high biological richness, are clustered in the Congo river basin of Africa, the Indo-China peninsula, and Meso-America.
Resource Type: ReportsThis guidance document is one of a series produced with the support of the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (2010 BIP) to assist Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to track their progress towards the 2010 BiodiversityTarget. Coverage of Protected Areas has been selected as one of the indicators suitable for assessing progress towards and communicating the 2010 Target at the global level. The aim of this document is to provide guidance to support the calculation and interpretation of the Coverage of Protected Areas indicator at the national and regional scales.
The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the key source for global and regional forest protected area information. It is in the process of a major redevelopment that will significantly enhance its usefulness for various users. The database already plays a significant role in reporting to major globally-agreed goals and targets, such as Millennium Development Goal 7 and the CBD programmes of work on forests and protected areas. For any global forest protected area network, the WDPA could provide information on officially designated protected areas, including sites that have not been assigned a particular IUCN management category but nevertheless qualify as sites contributing towards national, regional and global efforts and processes addressing forest conservation.
Resource Type: ReportsThe Convention on Biological Diversity has established a global target for the protection of 10% of each of the world's ecological regions by 2010. This report uses the WWF Terrestrial Ecoregions of the World and the 2009 version of the World Database of Protected Areas to analyse progress towards achieving this politically established conservation goal across the world.
Resource Type: ReportsThe areas of the ocean that lie beyond national jurisdiction limits, also called the high seas, are vulnerable to human activities and currently underrepresented when compared to terrestrial and nearshore1 marine environments under protection. Thus, there is a growing movement among the conservation community to increase measures, such as marine protected areas, that can ensure protection of the largely undiscovered but important biodiversity of the high seas.
Resource Type: ReportsSuccessful implementation of REDD is likely to require the reduction of deforestation rates on a national scale. Designation of new protected areas and strengthening of the current protected area network could form one strategy for achieving this. This review aims to inform the debate through an assessment of the effects of forest designation and management on deforestation rates, and through consideration of the design and management-related factors that influence protected area effectiveness in reducing deforestation. The evidence suggests that protected areas are an effective tool for reducing deforestation within their boundaries. The extent to which this deforestation is displaced to surrounding areas is unclear. Protected areas designated under the more restrictive IUCN categories (I-II) seem to be more effective than those that may include a focus on sustainable use (V-VI). However, there are only a small number of studies on deforestation within category V-VI protected areas.
Resource Type: ReportsProtected areas could play a significant role in the implementation of schemes to reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) in developing countries, through either the strengthening of the existing protected area network, or designation of new areas. Many rural poor people rely on forest resources, and may experience positive or negative changes to their livelihoods as a result of REDD. This review aims to assess the livelihood implications of the existing protected area network in order to inform future REDD policy.
The costs and benefits of individual protected areas for community livelihoods have been well documented. Costs can range from displacement of local communities to crop damage by wildlife, and sometimes include restricted access to resources and changes in land tenure. Benefits can include direct revenue from environmental protection, and the maintenance of ecosystem services such as watershed protection. The nature of these costs and benefits depends largely upon the protected area's status and governance, as well as its history of use.

Born in San Diego, California in 1960, Greg Louganis began a remarkable diving career while in college and went on to win a record 47 national and 13 world championships. His awards also include three Olympic medals, and he was the first diver to ever earn a perfect score of 10.
Early Life
One of the all-time greatest athletes in his sport, diver Greg Louganis faced many personal obstacles before winning Olympic gold. He was adopted by Peter and Frances Louganis, joining an older adopted sister in the family. Louganis had a difficult relationship with his father who could be physically abusive. He also suffered at the hands of his peers who picked on him for his dyslexia and for his skin color. (One of his birth parents is of Samoan ancestry.)
Fortunately, the young Louganis soon discovered something that he excelled at. He had already taken dance and gymnastics classes and then started to take his acrobatic moves in a new direction in his family's pool. After taking diving lessons, Louganis began to compete in the sport around age of 9. He wowed the judges at the 1971 Junior Olympics two years later, earning a perfect score of 10 during this national competition.
Olympic Champion
At the age of 16, Louganis competed his first Olympics in Montreal, Canada. He took home the silver medal in the men's 10-meter platform event, losing the top honor to famous Italian diver Klaus Dibiasi. Louganis had to wait six years for his next shot at the Olympics' ultimate prize because of the U.S. boycott of the 1980 summer games in Moscow.
In Los Angeles at the 1984 Summer Olympics, Louganis achieved victory in both the men's 3-meter springboard and 10-meter platform events. He became the first diver to break 700-point mark in scoring of the men's platform in Olympic history. While he made his Olympic wins seem so easily, he faced a new set of challenges at his next Olympics. Louganis had discovered before the games that he was HIV-positive, but he decided to continue his quest for gold.
At the Olympic Summer Games held in Seoul, South Korea, Louganis injured himself during the preliminaries for the men's 3-meter springboard competition. He struck his head on the board during his dive, dropping awkwardly into the water. About a half an hour later, Louganis returned to competition after receiving some sutures. He later wrote for The Huffington Post that he told his coach that "We worked too long and hard to get there, and I don't want to give up without a fight." Louganis made a remarkable comeback, winning the gold for this event as well as the gold for the men's 10-meter platform.
Life After Diving
In 1989, Louganis officially retired from diving. He worked a bit as an actor, appearing off-Broadway production of Jeffrey in 1993. In the play, Louganis appeared as a performer dying of AIDS. He wrote about his life experiences in his best-selling autobiography Breaking the Surface, in which he came out as a gay man and publicly revealed his HIV-positive status. He shared his news in interviews with Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters.

You may remember that I made a cranberry orange variation of my espresso scones for our road trip. It's a very easy substitution. Make THESE scones but omit the coffee and add 1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
It wasn't long into our drive that I had the thought to crumble the scones to make cereal. YUM. We topped it with almond milk, and even though I had it almost every day I never got sick of it.
The last stop before our new home was Las Vegas, where we found one of the coolest playgrounds EVER. I rode the slide multiple times, and so did Zoe and Ashley. (Climbing up the ladders was also half the fun :-)
But the best part of staying in Las Vegas was getting to spend time with good friends. Awesome. And making dinner together, and sitting around enjoyed each others company.
Oh. My. Goodness. when we got to our rental in Temecula guess what was waiting for us??? Our advance copy of The Paleo Chocolate Lovers' Cookbook. Eeeek!!!!! (And here's a sneak peak of our place in the photo too)
While we worked on the laptop by the pool today (did I seriously just say that?!) the comments were pouring in from friends receiving their advance copy of our book. I can't tell you how crazy it feels. You have all these authors and bloggers who are like your own personal celebrities, and they get your book and gush over it??? Surreal. That's all I can say. And exhilarating. And mind-blowing. And, well, you get the picture.

The three-dimensional Tri-Gate transistors represent a fundamental departure from the two-dimensional planar transistor structure that has powered not only all computers, mobile phones and consumer electronics to-date, but also the electronic controls within cars, spacecraft, household appliances, medical devices and virtually thousands of other everyday devices for decades.
Scientists have long recognized the benefits of a 3D structure for sustaining the pace of Moore's Law as device dimensions become so small that physical laws become barriers to advancement, Intel said. The key to today's breakthrough is Intel's ability to deploy its 3D Tri-Gate transistor design into high-volume manufacturing, ushering in the next era of Moore's Law.

Residents speak out against New Berlin Walmart
New Berlin - During three hours of speakers giving opinions to the New Berlin Plan Commission about a Walmart supercenter proposed for 15205-15375 W. Greenfield Ave., not one person favored it.
There were at least four recurring themes. One was that traffic is already bad there while another focused on worry that the area already has flooding problems and adding a big store with a big parking lot has the potential of making things worse. And even though the nearest subdivisions are some distance away, many complained about the lights that would be on 24-hours a day seven days a week and the noise of cars and trucks going in and out. Increased crime also was brought up as a concern. »Read Full Article(81)
Wisconsin unemployment rate fell to 6.1% in January
As it reported a drop in the state unemployment rate Thursday, the administration of Gov. Scott Walker also announced that Wisconsin had added 106,100 private-sector jobs in the first three years of the governor's first term.
Job creation trends remain one of the state's most hotly debated political issues. As he ran for office in 2010, Walker made job creation his No. 1 campaign promise, vowing the state would add 250,000 private-sector jobs by the end of his four-year term. »Read Full Article(55)

FAQs: Purchases of Longer-term Treasury Securities |
Effective January 12, 2011
Why is the Desk purchasing longer-term Treasury securities? What Treasury securities will the Desk purchase?
**TIPS weights are based on unadjusted par amounts. Under this distribution, the Desk anticipates that the assets purchased will have an average duration of between 5 and 6 years. The distribution of purchases could change if market conditions warrant, but such changes would be designed to not significantly alter the average duration of the assets purchased. The Desk will continue to refrain from purchasing securities that are trading with heightened scarcity value in the repo market for specific collateral, or that are cheapest to deliver into the front-month Treasury futures contracts. Specific issues that will be excluded from consideration will be announced at the start of each operation. Currently, the Desk does not plan to purchase Treasury bills, STRIPS, or securities trading in the when-issued market. How much will the Desk purchase in each issue?
How much will the Desk purchase each month in Treasury securities and how will this be communicated?
The FOMC statement indicated that the $600 billion in purchases would proceed at a pace of "about $75 billion per month." The monthly amount of purchases announced by the Desk that are associated with these purchases may deviate modestly from $75 billion in order to ensure that the Desk remains on pace to purchase $600 billion by the end of the second quarter of 2011. How would a change in the FOMC directive be reflected in the Desk's published schedule? Will purchases of longer-term Treasuries representing the reinvestment of principal payments from agency debt and agency MBS be managed separately from the additional longer-term Treasury purchases in any way? How will the Desk adjust for any unexpected deviations between anticipated and actual longer-term Treasury purchases over a given monthly period? Will these purchases impact the existing policy for reinvesting the proceeds from maturing Treasury securities held in the SOMA? Who is eligible to sell Treasury securities to the Federal Reserve under this program? Will the Federal Reserve lend the Treasury securities it purchases through this program? Will purchases be adjusted for the effect of inflation on the original face value of TIPS securities held in the SOMA?
How will the purchases be conducted? How will the Desk communicate the operation results? Will the Desk release operation pricing results? How often will the Desk conduct operations to purchase longer-term Treasuries? How many offers can a dealer submit during an operation? What is the minimum amount for which a dealer may submit offers? Whom do dealers call if they experience difficulties during the operation?
When and how does Treasury security settlement take place? |

okay, okay, I guess I do love it after all. I think it's the binding that really makes it. I'm on a mission to use up fabric (just so I can justify buying more), so this quilt made a slight dent in that way.
{finished size is 38 x 47}
It came out great! It was hard to tell what it would look like from the strips but now that it's all together I love it. I wouldnt have thought to choose those fabrics. I just finished my new baby's quilt this weekend as well. What a good idea to serger the edges, i wish i had a serger now.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt Anna! I LOVE the use of dark grey with bright colors in a quilt. I really like how you've quilted this too. Did you use your walking foot for the curved/twisted quilting, or a free motion foot? I've always wondered how people quilt their wavy lines!
(P.S. - looking forward to the tutorial!)

A.M. Soleil, Retrospectively: Blog #48 "Letter to Izriah"
Saturday, December 4th, 2010I wrote "Letter to Izriah" during the summer of 2005. I was going through a lot, personally, trying to make sense of the circumstances I was given.
I was writing to reclaim my life. My sun was at the heart of the equation. I was contemplating death on a very serious level. Was it death, physically? What is death, spiritually? If I wasn't around someday, how would that affect my sun?

03-02-2013, 09:42 AMI would have to agree. Naples was originally founded by Greeks in 600 BC, and was conquered by the Romans in 4th century BC; in the 8th century AD, Naples became an independent duchy and capital of the Naples kingdom.
The city is the home to pizza and claims to be the only place that serves "real pizza".

Malolotja Nature Reserve
This beautiful middleveld and highveld nature reserve is a true wilderness area that's rugged and in the most part unspoiled. Recently it's been declared a Transfrontier Park with Songimvelo in neighbouring South Africa.
This beautiful middleveld and highveld nature reserve is a true wilderness area that's rugged and in the most part unspoiled. Recently it's been declared a Transfrontier Park with Songimvelo in neighbouring South Africa.
This tranquil reserve, where the lowveld plains meet the Lebombo Mountains, boasts antelope species and hyenas, among others, plus rewarding birdwatching. You can bring your own mountain bike. Walking (from two- to nine-hour treks) along plateaus, or to caves and a waterfall is a highlight here.
This park is near the former royal hunting grounds. Hlane (the name means 'wilderness') is Swaziland's largest protected area, and home to elephants, lions, cheetahs, leopards, white rhinos and many antelope species, and offers wonderfully low-key wildlife-watching.
This beautiful and tranquil private reserve near Lobamba was Swaziland's first protected area, created by conservationist Ted Reilly on his family farm in the 1950s. Reilly later opened Mkhaya Game Reserve and supervised the establishment of Hlane Royal National Park.
The Ngwempisi Gorge, 30km south of the Malkerns Valley, is one of the country's few remaining untouched environments, with beautiful natural forests and the Ngwempisi River.
This top-notch and stunning private reserve was established in 1979 to save the pure Nguni breed of cattle from extinction. It's known, however, for its black and white rhino population (it boasts that you're more likely to meet rhinos here than anywhere else in Africa and, judging from our experience, this is true).
The small and privately owned Mbuluzi Game Reserve boasts a range of animals, including giraffes, zebras, hippos, antelope species and wildebeests. There have also been over 300 bird species recorded here. Several walking trails dot the reserve and make for a fun activity.
The Ngwenya iron ore mine dates from around 40,000 BC and is one of the world's oldest known mines. The mine is part of Malolotja Nature Reserve. The Ngwenya Mines & Visitors Centre has an interesting display of photographs and information about the mine, including the original excavation tools. There's also a picnic area overlooking the mine.
Taking care of errands is the main activity in Mbabane for most travellers but about 8km northeast of Mbabane is Sibebe Rock , a massive granite dome hulking over the surrounding countryside; the area is managed by the local community.
The entrance fee to this tranquil, leafy reserve covers a guided tour of the reserve's Swazi Cultural Village , a 'living' cultural village with authentic beehive huts and cultural displays, plus a sibhaca dance and a visit to the Mantenga Falls . (For those who are not in a group: the sibhaca dance is performed daily at 11.15am and 3.15pm.
The National Museum has some interesting displays of Swazi culture, as well as a traditional beehive village and cattle enclosure and several of King Sobhuza I's 1940s cars. The ticket price also allows you to enter the King Sobhuza II Memorial Park (King Sobhuza II was the most revered of Swazi kings).
Manzini's main drawcard is its colourful market. The upper section of the market is packed with handicrafts from Swaziland and elsewhere in Africa. Thursday morning is a good time to see the rural vendors and Mozambican traders bringing in their handicrafts and textiles to sell to the retailers.
The central reservations office is accessed through the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary. Contact it for accommodation in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, Mkhaya Game Reserve and Hlane Royal National Park. It also runs Chubeka Trails, its activities arm at Mlilwane.

Has this guy got a deal for you. Or is it an ordeal? Car scams are on the rise, especially among used car and small, independent dealerships.
Kyle G. Martz is outraged. In late 2007, Martz, 46, of Erie, Colo., purchased a 2007 Volkswagen Passat 4Motion with 1,200 miles on it for around $43,000 — several thousand dollars less than the sticker price. He was told it had been driven for only a short time by the owner of the Volkswagen dealership that was selling it. But that was only half the story.
"Within the first month, the car was back in the shop at least three times," says Martz, a national sales rep in the food business. "There were electrical glitches through the whole car — GPS, parking sensors, stability control. None of it worked." When Martz's mechanic stripped off some of the trunk's interior panels, he exposed a bunch of shoddy spot welds, indicating the car had been in a severe rear-end collision.
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles officials and state fraud investigators we surveyed, Martz had fallen prey to one the most common scams dealers commit — fixing a totaled car off the books and then reselling it "as is."
While experts say only a small number of dealers actually partake in such illegal activities, the number of consumer complaints from potential car buyers about the ones that do are on the rise. And while well-capitalized dealerships are less likely to deceive than small independents, they aren't innocent. "We've had some big dealers shut their doors for this reason alone," says Mike Marando, a spokesman with the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
For example, last September the California DMV had Shayan Rahbarian, owner of Suzuki of Sacramento, arrested on fraud charges, alleging that he failed to pay Brasher's Auto Auction more than $4 million for 192 new vehicles he bought wholesale and resold to consumers or other dealers.
To help you avoid getting scammed when purchasing a car, we've put together a list of the most common dealer deceptions being perpetrated today, along with what you can do to avoid them.
Scam: Selling Cars Without Proper or Clear Titles
Title fraud is on the rise because of the current recession and is often the result of poor business management on the dealer's part, says Willy Hall, detective supervisor for the Office of the Inspector General at the Arizona Department of Transportation. It mostly happens when struggling dealers without enough money to keep operations going can't pay off the liens on titles for the vehicles they've purchased and sold. Surprisingly, a lot of dealers don't technically own the vehicles they sell. They borrow money from financiers, called "flooring agents," to pay for them. Once a dealer sells a vehicle paid for by a flooring agent, he or she is supposed to pay off the agent to get the title — or clear the lien on the title — and pass it on to the buyer. The problem arises when the dealer doesn't pay off the loan. In such cases, car buyers will return to pick up their license plates and title, only to find that they aren't available and the dealer is nowhere to be found.
Have you ever been scammed by a car dealer? Tell us your story.
The same applies to trade-ins. The dealer is supposed to pay off the lien on a trade-in, but either is unable to pay or pockets the money and shutters the business after pulling this stunt a number of times. As a result, the original owner of the trade-in is left with a car payment on a vehicle he or she no longer owns, and the new owner, who bought the trade-in with a title that has a lien on it, now technically owns nothing.
Warning Signs: "People who say they don't have a title but they can get it — that's a warning sign," says A.D. Reeves, executive director of the dealer services division for the Indiana secretary of state's office.
How to Protect Yourself: You should always ask to see the title and examine it carefully, says Hall. If the dealership owns the car or is on the up and up, it will have the title on hand or be willing to produce it. If it doesn't or won't, then something's not right. And never trade in a financed car with a balance left on the loan. If you can't pay it off for any reason, insist that the dealer put in writing that he will pay off the trade-in within 10 days, recommends Jeff Ostroff, founder of CarBuyingTips.com, whose Web site receives several e-mails a week from disgruntled car buyers. If the dealer is trustworthy, he or she shouldn't have a problem with this request.

Operation Summary for February 17, 2010 - February 19, 2010 |
Wednesday Feb. 17 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7613 (76.6E30) and the Recycler stash (352.4E10), with the Antiproton Source stacking (16.0E10), with the Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and Meson MTest experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. Store 7613 was terminated at 10:13 AM, operations established store 7614 at 1 PM with an Average Initial Luminosity (AIL) of 301.0E30. Shot setup ran longer than usual due to between store repairs of a TeV RF station (TRF01), some console sequencer issues, and TeV sector A3 wet engine belt tightening. Operations established beam to a new MTest experiment ( T995) at 1:43 PM. Operators reported Linac 400 MeV area Klystron Debuncher LCW flow trips. During the evening shift, Operations called in water personnel to investigate problems with the Klystron Debuncher water skid. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 6:02 PM. The MI beam began aborting every other pulse at 7:13 PM due to a problem with the AP2 transfer line BPMs. Operators tried rebooting several devices with no luck. They contacted a Pbar expert who helped them work through a procedure that brought the BPMs back online at 8:35 PM. Thursday Feb. 18 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7614 (91.42E30) and the stash (305.2E10), with Pbar stacking (24.2E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations terminated store 7614 at 4:07 AM and then put the TeV into shot setup. Operations established store 7615 at 5:30 AM with an AIL of 317.5E30. Operations established beam to MTest at 5:46 AM. During the day shift, store 7615 collided all shift. PBars were stacked and transferred to the Recycler as appropriate. There was some downtime due to a new version of D59 (alarms page) causing problems. Beam was delivered to M-Test, NuMI and MiniBoone when it was available. The evening shift started with Klystron Debuncher water skid repairs. Beam resumed at 4:40 PM. Operations terminated store 7615 at 6:14 PM, CDF and D0 then made controlled accesses to fix problems. Tev A-E was accessed for PDQ cabling work. All accesses were finished by 10:44 PM, with Tev turn-on following. PBars were stacked and transferred to the Recycler as appropriate. Klystron Debuncher water skid problems caused more downtime near the end of the shift. MTest took beam until 18:00. Beam sent to NuMI and MiniBoone when it was available.Friday Feb. 19 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring the stash (405.5E10), with Pbar stacking (40.8E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. The Tev was in a dry squeeze. Klystron Debuncher water skid problems were traced to the controls chassis. The system was put in manual mode until the chassis could be repaired. Tev wet squeezes and orbit checks/corrections followed the dry squeeze. Shot setup was underway by 3:56 AM and store 7619 was colliding by 5:21 AM with an average initial luminosity of 306E30. MTest started taking beam at 5:24 AM. PBars were stacked and transferred to the Recycler as appropriate.

(WASHINGTON, DC) – Mayor Vincent C. Gray today expressed frustration with the House Judiciary Committee's attempt to impose concealed handgun legislation on the District of Columbia and said he would work with allies in Congress to stop the move.
"This attempt to force the legalization of concealed handguns on the people of the District without their consent is a blatant attack on our autonomy," Mayor Gray said. "I am opposed to any bill that would infringe upon the rights of state and local governments, including the right to ensure public safety and fight crime in ways that are best for the residents of their jurisdictions."

NRS Big Water Guide PFD Life Jacket - The 22 pounds of flotation make sure that the life jacket is built for all day comfort. The PVC-Free foam panels are shaped and skived to wrap the body, without hindering mobility. Eight adjustment points allow you to fit the jacket to your individual shape. Two huge zippered pockets hold anything you choose to carry with you. Fleece lined handwarmer pouches behind the pockets are oh, so welcome on cold days! The 500-denier Cordura shell wears like iron. Webbing loops for leg straps add extra security in big water. (leg straps sold separately).
