This extremely elastic thread can be stretched up seven times its length and still return to its original size. Elastane, also known as Lycra, is rarely found alone but nearly always used as a component of other fabrics.
Elastane characteristics: Elastane makes fabrics lastingly stretchy. As all synthetic fibres, it is hard-wearing, easy-care and hardly creases.
Fabric care: The following is true for all fabrics that contain elastane: use delicate washing powder and do not put in the drier. The washing and ironing temperatures depend on the other fibre components of the fabric.

Surf Report Mid Coast SAby Peter Mariner
1/09/2014 6:08 AM | Report
WNW winds are adding a bit of a bump on the Mid Coast early, marking the end of our run of light offshores and clean swell. Surf is only around 1' and pretty bull early, and from here it'll only get worse. The forecast predicts winds will shift onshore Westerly and pick up to around 15 knots, then shift SW at 20 knots by mid arvo. We won't get anything like a stormy out of it, just bumpy waist high waves perhaps... before the big arvo tide kills it.

You knew it was going to be a weird Sunday when Mohamed Sanu opened the scoring with a 73-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Green. With that pass, Sanu had more fantasy points than Tony Romo, who finished with 283 yards and three turnovers and was sacked four times.
Adding to the strangeness, BenJarvus Green-Ellis (17 carries, 38 yards, TD) lost his first fumble ever, and Alex Smith (24-for-35, 204 yards, TD) threw his first interception since Week 12 of last season in the 49ers' upset loss to Minnesota. And even Adam Vinatieri missed a clutch field-goal attempt as the Colts fell to Jacksonville.
It was a strange day indeed and one that served as a reminder that all those trends we thought we spotted during the first two weeks probably weren't trends at all. In fact, the fantasy gods seemed to be trying to tell us that we shouldn't have taken so much for granted.
It was a day when fantasy fortunes turned on a dime. A defensive penalty negated a game-clinching INT by Tennessee and allowed Calvin Johnson a chance to score a touchdown on the way to a big day (10-164, TD). A Hail Mary in that same game helped make Titus Young Sr. (6-75-1) look like a viable fantasy option for the first time this season.
Detroit's Shaun Hill had more fantasy points than our friend Romo while playing in relief of Matthew Stafford, who left in the fourth quarter with a leg injury. Hill went 10-for-13 for 172 yards and two scores, an amazing output that went wasted in fantasy leagues and was much to the chagrin of Stafford owners, who wanted those points to be theirs.
Jamaal Charles' 288-yard, 1-TD performance against the Saints wasn't quite as surprising as some of the others, but it did come on the heels of his 22-yard stinker in a loss to the Bills. Let's hope you didn't give up on him after that one bad week.
Charles seemed on the way to a so-so game against the Saints -- that is, until he ripped off a 91-yard TD run in the third quarter. Charles added a 40-yard run later and finished with a career-high 33 carries. It helped that Peyton Hillis left with an ankle injury, again something fantasy owners had no control over.
So, if you felt out of control of your fantasy team in Week 3, that's OK. Trust me, you weren't alone. The craziness that ensued on this Sunday was an example of what makes the NFL great, but it also was Exhibit A on what makes playing fantasy football so unpredictable at times.
Don't beat yourself up if something like the two return TDs by the Titans' defense/special teams was the nail in your coffin in Week 3. Things will normalize soon enough when we actually do have some weeks' worth of data that will allow owners to get a better grasp on their decisions.
1. Play your studs. As Adrian Peterson (107 total yards versus the 49ers), Larry Fitzgerald (9-114-1 vs. the Eagles) and Peyton Manning (330 yards, 2 TDs) proved, sometimes we can make this game more complicated than it needs to be by scrutinizing matchups that shouldn't be scrutinized. Guys like these have too much talent to sit. Enough said.
2. Lions find a workhorse. Mikel LeShoure carried the ball 26 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in his first career game. Meanwhile, Kevin Smith saw no carries or receptions, and Joique Bell had five carries for 23 yards and four receptions for 44 yards. It was surprising to see Smith phased out so quickly, but if this is how it's going to be, LeShoure owners might have found an RB2.
3. Holy Cowboys line. We knew coming into the season that the Cowboys O-line had question marks, but it is becoming a big problem for Romo and DeMarco Murray, who were both expected to be fantasy studs. Romo was under constant pressure against the Bucs, which led to sacks, turnovers and big hits. Meanwhile, Murray gained only 38 yards in 18 carries, but luckily took one of them in for a touchdown to salvage his fantasy score. Dallas needs to fix this problem, and quick.
4. 49ers' D susceptible to TEs For the third straight week the 49ers' defense allowed a touchdown to a tight end, which seems odd considering the talent San Francisco has at linebacker. Plus, this time the 49ers gave up two TDs to Kyle Rudolph, who has three TDs for the season and is starting to deliver on the preseason hype. Christian Ponder (198 yards passing, 33 rushing, 2 pass TDs, 1 rush TD) did well to find his tight end in the big upset win.
5. End the insanity Eagles. An opportunistic Cardinals defense taking on Michael Vick and the turnover-prone Eagles in the desert played out just like many thought it would. Philly lost three fumbles, including two by Vick. One of those lost by Vick was returned by James Sanders 93 yards for a touchdown. That's 12 turnovers for the Eagles in the first three games, and that's unacceptable. As for the Cardinals, their defense might be tougher than first thought.
UP to the booth
-- Maurice Jones-Drew has a history of doing well against the Colts, and history repeated itself. With Rashad Jennings inactive, MJD racked up 28 carries for 177 yards and a touchdown and added 16 yards on two receptions. Safe to say that Jones-Drew looks like his old self and that the holdout didn't affect him much.
-- Mike Wallace is another player who is providing value thanks to a holdout and quick recovery. Wallace looked no worse for the wear with eight receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown against the Raiders. It was the third straight game Wallace scored a touchdown, and his yardage has increased in each of the first three weeks.
-- Michael Turner made the most of 14 carries, turning them into 80 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers. After rushing for just 74 yards in the first two weeks, Turner showed he still has life. But he still isn't getting a lot of carries, so his value depends largely on getting TDs.
DOWN to the field
-- The Chris Johnson worry meter has officially moved into code-red territory after another poor performance, this time against the Lions. Johnson had 14 carries for 24 yards and added 5 yards receiving. Things don't get any easier next week against the Texans. Bad times indeed.
-- Vincent Jackson was held to just one reception for 29 yards against the Cowboys and let another 20-yard reception slip through his hands. The Cowboys are proving they are a tough matchup for opposing receivers. Jackson owners are used to inconsistency from him and will keep the faith.
-- The Steelers' running game needs a jolt. Even against the porous Raiders, Isaac Redman (9 car., 27 yds.), Jonathan Dwyer (3 car. minus-1 yd.) and Chris Rainey (2 car., 7 yds.) couldn't get anything done. Pittsburgh has a bye week to try to fix things before returning in Week 5 with Rashard Mendenhall (ACL) potentially coming back.
-- C.J. Spiller sprained his left shoulder and is expected to miss 1-2 weeks. If Fred Jackson (knee) can't make it back in Week 4 as is expected, Tashard Choice would take over as the Bills' lead back against the Patriots. Choice had 99 total yards against the Browns. Spiller had 58 total yards and a touchdown before leaving.
-- Reggie Bush left the game against the Jets with an injury to his left knee. It's a knee that Bush has had previous injuries to, including a torn PCL and meniscus damage. The Dolphins didn't give a timetable for return immediately following the game. If Bush has to miss time, Daniel Thomas and rookie Lamar Miller would likely share carries.
-- Matthew Stafford will undergo an MRI on his right leg after pulling up lame trying to chase down a Titans defender who had stripped the ball from Brandon Pettigrew. If Stafford can't play next week against the Vikings, Hill would step in again.
-- The Jets reportedly fear that Darrelle Revis tore his left ACL in the game against the Dolphins. Revis was carted off the field. Kyle Wilson would step in for Revis. We don't have to tell you what that would do to the Jets' defense, but we will: It could turn this unit into a matchup-based play instead of a long-term solution.
For more injury information, go to Fantasy Source.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Colts. Hilton had four receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown against the Jags. Hilton, a rookie, had just one reception for 15 yards before today's game. With Austin Collie leaving with another injury, it's possible Hilton could parlay this into more looks. But he'd still have to battle Donnie Avery for targets opposite Reggie Wayne. Ruling: Fluke.
Andrew Hawkins, WR, Bengals. Hawkins took a 59-yard pass from Andy Dalton to the house, the second straight week that Hawkins has scored a touchdown. Hawkins also rushed two times for 16 yards, giving his game a little Percy Harvin flavor. As the Bengals' slot receiver, Hawkins' looks could fluctuate drastically, but he has some big-play ability and is worth looking at heading into a matchup with the Jags. Ruling: Find.
The bye weeks start next week with Indianapolis and Pittsburgh off. It's time to start thinking about your potential bye-week problems and lay out a plan of attack to get through the next few weeks.

SBNation.com is ranking every NBA player or head coach with Frank somewhere in their name -- from 30 to 1.
What is #NBAFrank?
#NBAFrank is a Twitter hashtag you can use if you want to get involved in the frank discussion.
Let's begin.
30. Frankie Baumholtz.
29. Nat Frankel.
28. Frank Gates.
27. Frank Kendrick.
26. Frank Mangiapane.
25. Frank Radovich.
24. Frank Reddout.
23. Frank Russell.
22. Frank Schade.
21. Frankie Sanders.
20. Frank Oleynick.
19. Frank Kudelka.
18. Frankie King.
17. Frank Kornet.
16. William Franklin.
15. Tellis Frank.
14. Franklin Edwards.
13. Frank Card.
12. Frank Hamblen.
11. Frank Fucarino: Only played a year in the BAA before getting seduced by a life of crime, where he achieved infamy as Frankie "Fingers" Fucarino, one of the most brutal enforcers the New York City mafia has ever seen. - Andrew Sharp
10. Frank Vogel: He looks young enough to play, so you're basically getting someone who can both play and coach. - Mike Prada
9. Frank Layden: All we did was draft John Stockton and Karl Malone. What did Lawrence Frank do, other than fill up some Gatorade bottles? - Prada
8. Lawrence Frank: Or as the incomparable Brook Lopez would say in a voice awful similar to that of a deaf elephant, "LAWRENCE FRANK?!" - Ziller
7. Frank Williams: ILLINOIS, STAND UP. SCOTT LAYDEN-ERA KNICKS, MAKE SOME NOISE. - Sharp
6. Frank Johnson: He was a lottery pick out of Wake Forest, he averaged 12.5 ppg and 8 assists for the 1982 Washington Bullets, and he'll forever have a place in NBA history as the guy that got fired and replaced by Mike D'Antoni, paving the way for Seven Seconds or Less. - Sharp
5. Frankie Brian: The only man to make the All-Star team as a member of the Anderson Packers AND the Tri-City Blackhawks. (Note: that might not be true.) Two-time top scorer for the Ft. Wayne Pistons. Nicknamed Flash. Dwyane Wade is such a thief. - Ziller
4. Frank McGuire: The man who caused Wilt Chamberlain to score 100 points and gave him the ball at every opportunity, also causing Wilt to hate every subsequent coach he had. - Prada
3. Frank Selvy: The 1960s version of Eric Snow, except with a jumper. Blew the Lakers' best chance of beating the Celtics by missing a wide open jumper. Holds the single-game college scoring record, which basically makes him as good as Wilt Chamberlain. - Prada
2. Frank Ramsey: Hall of Famer! Seven titles with the Russell-Red Celtics, considered a strong defender. Only played 25 minutes a game, though; no modern player would ever get into the Hall of Fame on 25 minutes a game, even if they won all of the championships. Extra Frank swag here. - Ziller
1. Frank Brickowski: Might have the best "awkward white guy" name in NBA history. "Frank Brickowski" sounds like a nickname that you'd give to the worst player in a pickup game. Also, he played 16 years in the NBA and averaged 10 ppg for his career. All together, we're talking about the most dynamic Frank of all time. - Sharp

Saw this on the news last week and formed an opinion about it.
LAFD Defends Dog Rescue
Seemed to me a waste of a lot of resources, including a helicopter. I have two dogs, and they stay inside not out in some dog coup. So yes I am a dog lover, but there comes a time......Saving a German shepherd stuck in the rising Los Angeles River was the right thing to do, the risks were slight, rescue crews were on standby, extra taxpayer money wasn't used and the alternatives were unacceptable, authorities said Monday.
The helicopter and swift water rescue crew members that saved the dog on Friday have been hailed as heroes, feted on television and radio and congratulated on the Web and in print. But they have also been vilified by a few in blogs, on social networks and story comment sections.
"You're not going to please everybody. There's always 10 percent, they either don't like animals or think we are wasting taxpayer money," Capt. Steve Ruda said.
The dog, nicknamed Vernon after the city where he was rescued, remained in quarantine at the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority shelter in Downey, just south of Los Angeles.
Joe St. Georges, 50, the 25-year firefighting veteran who hoisted Vernon to safety, lost a fingernail and fractured a thumb when the dog bit him during the rescue. St. Georges just needs time to heal and he will be back at work, Ruda said. "He's anxious to get back to work to be with his crew."
The dog, which appears to be about 4 years old and weighs about 65 pounds, was eating everything given to him, sleeping well and showing no signs of rabies, said Capt. Aaron Reyes, director of operations for the SAACA shelter.
If no owner shows up, "we do have a mile-long list of people who want him," Reyes said.
On several Internet sites with comments about the rescue, the only people who left their names were those who supported the effort. There were a couple of open critics, but their identities were not easy to decipher.
Friday's rescue was televised nationally by the major cable channels.
About an eighth of a mile downstream from the rescue site, the water was much deeper and the current much faster, Reyes said.
The dog would have drifted on down and died. Do you just wait at the mouth of the river and wait for the carcass? Any way you slice it, that is unacceptable. They would not have been able to live that down," Reyes said. "They made a decision and we support that decision."
Firefighters on the ground said a crew could get the dog and the helicopter pilot, who had been standing by just 45 seconds away from the river, reported he could clear high tension lines in the area, Ruda said.
Swift water teams were on standby because of weeklong storms that had dumped as much as 8 inches of rain on some parts of Los Angeles County, Ruda said. Although as many as 50 firefighters were at the river, no firefighters were called in on overtime to take part in the rescue.
"All life is important," Ruda said. To prove his point, he pointed out that firefighters carry oxygen masks for cats and dogs that become victims of fire.
In addition, he said, 900 people die every year across the country in water accidents and one-third of them are rescuers. If St. Georges and his crew had failed to get the dog, "civilians, do-gooders and good Samaritans" would have been in the river, Ruda said.
The dog is thoroughly enjoying all the attention, Reyes said. "He's a big lover" and caters to women at the shelter.
I'm curious to know what others think.

LAFD Defends Dog Rescue
We don't give a fat rat's rump what you think.
It was the LAFD's call, and doesn't affect you in any way , shape or form."The education of a firefighter and the continued education of a firefighter is what makes "real" firefighters. Continuous skill development is the core of progressive firefighting. We learn by doing and doing it again and again, both on the training ground and the fireground."
Lt. Ray McCormack, FDNY
Here he goes again, oral diarrhea when he knows nothing about this except what he reads and what he see on CNN.
Forming an opinion about a fire department making a rescue, be it people or canine, shows how narrow minded you are.
Maybe the police should have flew over and shot the dog. You would be bitching about that as well.

The only expense this rescue incurred was a few gallons of Jet-A for the bird. That's it. Everyone had required and necessary PPE. Everyone had the necessary and required training. There were no doubt a handful if not more people in charge of making sure this didn't get stupid. And they're all trained in that river, which btw is just a big cement channel. It was not a suicidal radical dangerous unbelievable grab. A guy on a rope grabbed a dog. Its on the news because of human interest value of pets. I bet if it was a person, this wouldn't even have been on the news.
If you are soooooo appalled by them rescuing a dog from the water, move to Bossier Parish and stfu.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

I know of several FD's that do animal rescues, whether swift water, ice, or high angle. In all cases, they conduct a briefing to take some of the adrenaline out of the situation, and then take advantage of it as a training / exercise experience, a couple complete with AAR and Improvement Plan, so that they are better at it when they get called-out to rescue a human. Perfect practice makes perfect performance! I happened to see most of this rescue (on FOX, not CNN!) while at work. Nice job, LAFD!"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking."

Management is making sure things are done right. Leadership is doing the right thing. The fire service needs alot more leaders and a lot less managers.
"Everyone goes home" is the mantra for the pussification of the modern, American fire service.
Comments made are my own. They do not represent the official position or opinion of the Fire Department or the City for which I am employed. In fact, they are normally exactly the opposite.
You know what would have happened if they didnt go pluck the mutt out of the drink?? You would have had all kinds of people b*tching about how heartless the LAFD is to let the dog drown.
The town were I was on the job previously had a lake right in the middle of town. It had a pretty walkway and all that around the downtown part. Many occasions we had to put on the gumby suits and get a dog out of the icey water.
One winter when it was really cold....someone called fire HQ about a duck stuck on the ice. This little lake was famous for its resident ducks and geese that lived year round near the dam downtown. The call taker (a Lt. on the job and a big time duck hunter) explained that ducks rarely..if ever get stuck on the ice, and the feathers acted as an insulation to prevent such things. He told the caller we wouldnt send anyone out there....explaining "What if there were a REAL emergency" where people needed our help and we had our resources tied up on something like that...
By our next shift the caller ended up calling the mayor, and there was a huge article in the paper about how thoughtless and inhumane the FD was because we wouldnt rescue a poor defensless duck. We ended up going out there.....the duck was indeed still in the same spot. We put the gumby suits on. You know what happened when we got ten feet from the duck? The s.o.b squaked at us and ran away from us to another spot!! He seemed really p*ssed that we made him get up and move! lol
my point is on something like that you are damned if you do...damned if you don't.
Im sure they evaluated the situation, and didn't rush right out there and fish the pup out. Are we not suppose to practice "Risk vs. Gain"? No doubt a senior officer made a sized up and made the final call.

Hmmmm Try rescuing a yearling Moose that is not real impressed by your desire to get him out of the ice on the river while every damn news camera in town and beyond ison you.

Only time we have attempted the ice rescue of a wild animal was a deer a couple years ago.
It had two fractured legs when we got to it. The police put it down as soon as we got to shore.

Dog coup? Sounds like a B horror movie.
I have to say the LAFD did a great job and would have done the same if confronted with a similar situation.

they second to last paragraph gives the best reason for doing it. Some civilian would probably try and rescue the dog and end up dead or in need of rescue. Better for everyone just to rescue the dog so no one else tries. Besides it is good practice/training for the rescue crews.
I don't even look at it as training. It's not training if there is victim in danger. Its a rescue. If they were pulling a dummy with a life jacket out of the water, that would be training. As far as I'm concerned, that dog is a victim in need of rescue.Even the burger-flippers at McDonald's probably have some McWackers.

Regardless, it's pretty much a catch 22 situation for them. Some people consider animals to be equal to humans, value of life wise, in these situations, while other may see the animal as "expendable" and not worth the risk. As was already stated, what they did may have been the best option overall.
Not doing something would likely create a lot of negative PR for LAFD plus the possibility that untrained civilians might have attempted a rescue on their own and maybe made the situation worse. So, if an attempt were to be made, then wouldn't it be best if the "professionals" did it? Besides, it was the right thing to do.
Additionally, it's not like this type of "rescue" and in that type of location was unfamiliar to them. Maybe "training opportunity" isn't the best term to use since there was an actual live victim, but I don't really see a problem with utilizing the situation as a sort of "dress rehearsal". They need to "train" anyway for this, so why not take advantage of the opportunity for some "reality"?
After all, we frequently set real fires in real buildings and put personnel into "harms way" in the name of training, right? Is this really that different in terms of "risk" to ourselves or the "use" of resources?

Heartburn is a common condition that affects more than 4 million South Africans annually. It typically begins with a burning sensation that starts in the upper abdomen and moves up into the chest, often making its way to the back of the throat, and sometimes up into the jaw, arms and back. It usually feels worse when lying down or bending forward. Heartburn gets its name from chest pains caused by stomach acid that washes up into the oesophagus. This chest pain can be confused with angina, but the heart has nothing to do with it.
Heartburn (acid reflux) is a symptom of another digestive disorder, and not a disorder by itself. For example, heartburn is the most common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acid reflux is a medical condition, with heartburn as a possible symptom of that condition.
1.1. Symptoms:
Many people have different heartburn triggers, but most people have similar heartburn symptoms.
- A burning sensation in the chest
- A burning feeling in the throat
- Sour or bitter taste in the mouth
- Difficulty swallowing
- Chronic coughing
- Wheezing or other asthma-like symptoms
For more information about this condition and the products that might assist , you can listen to the radio interview(s) with Marcelle below:
Miracle Magnesium Oil for Trigeminal Neuralgia
I suffer from excruciating trigeminal neuralgia pain and have used everything on the market even hypnosis. I read about Miracle Magnesium and decided to use it. I started with the Miracle Magnesium Oil which I took evry morning and I also used the blue spray on the affected parts of my face, believe me it took almost a month before I saw results but my pain has subsided to a dull ache so I wil definately recommend it to anybody suffering from neuralgia. I am also using the red spray for my arthritic knee. Thank u Gideon Bronkhorst and the Body Detox team. Keep on helping people by promoting your products. - Celeste Bernadette Ownhouse
Aromaticum Capsules for severe Tooth AcheTHANK YOU for Aromaticum Capsules - I had such severe tooth ache that the doctor prescribed tramacet pain killers to try and control the pain with the anti biotics he gave me. The tramacet did not even feel as if it made any difference at all. After 24 hours on anti-biotics the pain was still so bad that I could not even brush my teeth! I started taking the Aromaticum Capsules - 4 every 4 hours and after 8 hours the pain was 90% better. What a blessing. Thanks again. - Else-marie Kruger
Miracle Magnesium for Arthritis and Rheumatism"For the last few years I've had arthritis and rheumatism. My specialist told me there was nothing I could do about the pain, "Stop growing older", was his advice. I haven't had any more cramps or pain since I started using Body Detox treatments in February 2013. I've always loved walking and now I have no problems. I did a liver detox (scary!) and followed Body Detox's advice on products to take. I have no doubt that I'm healthier." - Desirée Guinard

- Borestone Mountain Naturalist Weekend
- Members: $225 Non-members: $250
Join Maine Audubon Naturalist Doug Hitchcox and Registered Maine Guide Gary Roberts on a trip to Borestone Mountain Sanctuary, located just 20 miles south of Moosehead Lake.
On this weekend retreat we will stay in the sanctuary's historic Adirondack style lodges, which are accessible only by boat or on foot, lending an extra sense of remoteness and tranquility to this special place.
The sanctuary is a 1600 acre North Woods preserve with outstanding natural features. Centered around rock-topped Borestone Mountain, the sanctuary encompasses remarkable granite outcroppings and cliffs, clear mountain ponds, and old growth forest stands carpeted by luxuriant mosses and lichens.
Optional activities will include taking moderate hikes to Borestone's bare granite summit and to Peregrine Ridge where we will enjoy panoramic views of Maine's vast northern forest, swimming and canoeing in the sanctuary's mountain ponds, or if you prefer just relaxing on the lodge porch with a good book.
Price for the weekend includes room and board.
Important information about this trip: Borestone Naturalist's Weekend 2014 [pdf]
Come and experience Alaska – the expanses of tundra covering the plains, hills and mountains provide a breathtaking backdrop for birding and wildlife adventures.
Maine travelers marveled at the brilliant breeding plumages of 75 species of birds, and were astonished by the herds of reindeer and muskox grazing the tundra. Bird species and large grazers, as well as grizzly bears were photographed from a safe distance.
Presenters: Ron and Lee Davis, Al and Nancy Larson

"I hate to be Denny downer, but I just didn't pass that many cars today. That's the realistic fact of it." It's an interesting observation from Denny Hamlin, the driver who had to race his hiney off to finish third at the Subway Fresh Fit 500 in Phoenix. Reigning Sprint Cup champ Brad Keselowski agrees, ""It's harder than ever to pass. You have to be really good. The cars are so aero sensitive." Getting the entirety of NASCAR Nation to agree on much ...//more
Revenge is a dish best served cold. Crew chief Darian Grubb isn't going to crow and thump his chest over his victory with Denny Hamlin Sunday; it's not his style. By the same token, that warm grin on his face quietly speaks volumes about the fulfilling feeling he must be enjoying as he helps the 11 to victory in just his second race with the team after his dismissal at the end of Tony Stewart's 2011 championship run. Grubb says he'll take the high road and stay posi ...//more
Good Heavens, you would think by the way people are acting, Jeff Gordon had raced his way back from NASCAR hell with his win in the Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix. The media is writing it up like the old Jeff Gordon is back, but come on! Did he really go anywhere? I think what we have here is a lesson in perceptions: on the part of the drivers, the fans, and the media.Before we start writing this up as the greatest comeback since Lazarus, let's remember this: Jeff Gordon wa ...//more
It had been 66 races since four-time Cup Series champion Jeff Gordon stood in Victory Lane. Yet, that all changed on Sunday after Gordon used his bumper to move past Kyle Busch with less than ten laps to go at the Phoenix International Raceway. Looking just as happy as rookie Trevor Bayne did last weekend in Daytona, Gordon relished the victory after nearly two years without a win. Sunday's victory was the 83rd of Gordon's career, tying him with Cale Yarborough for fifth on the all-t ...//more

Does NASCAR have 'Junior Rules'?
NASCAR has decided not to penalize Dale Earnhardt Jr. for spinning out Casey Mears on the cool-down lap of Saturday's race at Phoenix International Raceway. ESPN.com's David Newton writes that fans and some members of the media believe that NASCAR has one set of rules for Junior and another set of rules for the rest of its drivers. ESPN's Newton cites several examples in which drivers were penalized for actions similar to Junior's, including the incident when Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards were ...//more

Megan Fox names son Bodhi Ransom Green
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have named their newborn son Bodhi Ransom Green.
The couple, who also have two-year-old son Noah Shannon Green, welcomed their second child into the world on February 12.
The tot's birth certificate, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, shows he was born at 8:05 pm at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in West Hollywood.
'Anger Management' star Brian, 40, also has an 11-year-old son, Kassius Lijah Marcil-Green, with his ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil, who also once starred alongside him on 'Beverly Hills 90210.'
The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' actress, 27, previously admitted that she found both of her pregnancies tough in the beginning.
She said: ''I've had rough first trimesters. But once you get into the second, it's fine after that.''
Megan has also told how being a mother to Noah helped take her mind off the pregnancy, saying: ''I don't have time to think about [what's different this time], I have a one-year-old running around. And then when you're working like 16 hours a day, there's no time for you at all.''
The brunette beauty tied the knot with Brian in 2010 after six years of dating.

Three lowly cowards rob blind man after knocking out his guide dog
Three men in Hartford knocked a blind man's guide dog unconscious before robbing him of his wallet.
Francis Shannon, of Sigourney Street in Hartford, was walking his guide dog, Lady, near his home around midnight Aug. 2 when three men attacked and robbed him, according to NBC Connecticut.
"They hit the dog, knocked her out. I thought she was dead," Shannon said. "She's my everything. I can't go anywhere without her," Shannon said.
Shannon suffered minor injuries, and delayed in reporting the robbery to police because the attackers threatened to hurt him if he did.
They said, 'If you call the cops, we'll kill you,'" Shannon explained. "And they took my money – which I had my rent money, cards my ID – everything was in my wallet."
He said he didn't leave his house for days after the attack, but finally decided to call police.
Police say Shannon identified the voices of the attackers as those of three young men he has heard hanging out at a neighborhood grocery store.
Police are seeking the public's help in finding the assailants. Anyone with information about the robbery and assault is urged to call Hartford police Sgt. O'Brien at 860-757-4089.

Houston mayor apologizes for death of dog left on side of highway by police officer
The mayor of Houston has apologized to a family whose nearly blind Chihuahua was killed after a police officer arrested his owner and left the dog on the side of a busy highway.
"Let me give you a public apology right now on behalf of the city of Houston," Mayor Annise Parker said. "I don't know what airhead – there's another word in my mind but I'm not going to say it – would throw, you wouldn't put a kid on the side of the road. You shouldn't put someone's pet on the side of the road."
The airheaded officer has not been identified.
But police say an internal investigation of the incident is underway, and that it could take six months to complete.
As reported by KTRK, the complaint stems from a July 14 traffic stop. Josie Garcia says her husband and a friend were pulled over for failing to use a turn signal. Police say they found drugs in the vehicle — a prescription medicine called phencyclidine — and arrested both men. (The charges against Garcia's husband were later dropped.)
According to Garcia, the arresting officer wouldn't let her husband call anyone to pick up Guero, the family's 14-year-old Chihuahua who was along for the ride.
Guero had bad vision due to cataracts, she says. He was left on the side of the highway when the vehicle was towed, and the officer took no steps to contact animal control, Garcia said.
"My husband pleaded with the officer to let him call someone to come get Guero … but he said it wasn't his problem, that the dog would be fine," Garcia said.
Three days later, Garcia, who had posted "lost" signs in the area, received a call from someone who had spotted Guero. She found him dead on a shoulder of the Eastex Freeway, about half a mile from where he had been left.
Guero wrapped the dog's body in a towel, took him home and buried him.

Did you hear the one about the guide dog in a nudist community?
A homeowner's association at Paradise Lakes Resort doesn't have weight limits when it comes to human residents, and we guess that's a good thing — even though the condo community is a clothing-optional one.
But the association's rules run a little stricter for dogs, including one that bans any dogs over 25 pounds — apparently even when it's a guide dog that belongs to a legally blind resident of the nudist community.
By now you've probably guessed that this can only be happening in Florida, specifically in Lutz, where a homeowner's association has told Sharon Fowler she needs to get rid of her black Labrador, Laura, or move out, according to a lawsuit.
Fowler filed a lawsuit against the association last year. It was dismissed by one judge, but now that dismissal has been overturned by an appeals court, and Fowler has renewed her fight to keep the dog she says she can't get around without.
"She helps me to get around curbs and obstacles," Fowler told the Tampa Bay Times. "She's 100 percent necessary to me. She's my lifeline."
According to a lawsuit filed last year, Fowler received a letter from the association telling her to get rid of the dog or move out.
The association said the dog violated their weight limits — something that wasn't pointed out when Fowler filled out an application, disclosing the dog's weight, when she moved in.
Even when Fowler provided documentation of her disability, the association did not withdraw the notice of the violations, according to the lawsuit.
"I felt demeaned, and I felt degraded," Fowler said. "I've never felt so degraded."
Her lawsuit seeks injunctive relief and monetary damages for mental anguish.
"It's the principle of the fact," Fowler's husband, Craig, said. "The board needs to know they cannot bully us around."
Fowler says she has been told to only walk the dog in specific areas, and stay out of the way of pedestrians. She's also been told her dog is out of control, which she says is not the case.
"My dog is a highly trained service animal," she said.
"Paradise Lakes Resort does not discriminate against any person with physical disabilities and does not prevent any person with service animals from visiting the resort," owner Jerry Buchanan said.
Fowler's accusations were directed at a homeowners condominium association not connected with the resort.
Fowler says she has a rare autoimmune disease called leukocytoclastic vasculitis, which has already affected her sight and could affect her hearing.
She doesn't want to move because she has learned her way around Paradise Lakes, and appreciates being able to live in a clothing optional community.

Cecil Williams will keep his guide dog; help pours in after they're hit by subway train
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
A blind man and his guide dog who were struck by a subway train in Manhattan Tuesday will be able to remain together — thanks to donations from members of the public touched by their story.
Cecil Williams fainted and fell on the New York City subway tracks, taking his harnessed dog, Orlando, with him.
Orlando barked for help and stayed by his side, even as the train passed over them.
In a story about the accident that aired on NBC Nightly News Tuesday night, it was reported that Orlando was slated to retire in January, and that Williams lacked the funds to continue to care for the dog afterwards, when the dog would no longer be covered by his insurance.
Since then, enough donations to their cause have been received by Guiding Eyes for the Blind to help pay for all of Orlando's retirement expenses, and ensure that the pair's eight-year relationship continues.
Williams, 61, was on his way to the dentist when he fainted at the 125th Street platform. Witnesses said the dog was barking and tried to stop Williams from falling, as he is trained to do. When they both landed on the tracks, Orlando tried to rouse Williams, who was unconscious. Both lay there as a slow-moving subway train passed above them.
Nieither sustained serious injuries.
"The dog saved my life," Williams said of his Labrador retriever. "I'm feeling amazed. I feel that God, the powers that be, have something in store from me. They didn't take me away this time. I'm here for a reason."
Williams, who is on insulin and other medications, was taken to a hospital, where Orlando remains at his bedside.
The Brooklyn man has been blind since 1995. Orlando, his second guide dog, "saves my life on a daily basis," he said.
At a press conference Williams thanked everyone "for showing their humanity and peace and goodwill" by making donations to the guide dog school that trained Orlando.
"All the people who contribute and donated I think we should take our hat off to them," he said. "There's still good people in this world."

Dachshund's blindness doesn't slow him down
Here's a quick video update on Ace's old neighborhood walking buddy, Frank, who went blind a couple of months ago from diabetes.
When first they met, the dachsund's only problem was being a bit overweight. With exercise and dieting he was trimming down nicely when he was diagnosed with diabetes and, almost overnight, lost his eyesight.
That made him a little hesitant, especially when he was outside, and wary about taking that next step — but only for a few days.
Now, he he tears up the nature trail when he comes over my way for a visit. And, as you can see from this outing to a soccer field, recorded by his owner, he bounds as much as he ever did, if not more. These days, he doesn't hesitate to go full speed ahead, even when he's not sure what's ahead.

Some brotherly love goes viral
A story of brotherly love — canine style — has spread from Philadelphia across the world after a shelter volunteer posted a photo of two snuggling pit bulls, one of whom helps his blind brother get around.
The photos of Jermaine and his blind brother Jeffrey have received more than 3.2 million views.
Kimberly Cary, a volunteer with the Chester County SPCA posted pictures on Facebook late last week of the 8-month-old puppies, their legs wrapped around each other as they slept at the shelter.
"It has just touched the hearts of people all around the world," Tom Hickey, a board member with the Chester County SPCA, said Sunday
The 35-pound strays were rescued from the streets of West Philadelphia Oct. 5 and placed in Operation Ava's no-kill shelter on North Third Street, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
Jeffrey is completely blind in one eye and probably sees only shadows in the other. He leans on Jermaine and follows him around when they are in unfamiliar territory. The pair is considered inseparable.
"These guys are bonded, and Jeffrey really is dependent on Jermaine at this point," said Ray Little, lifesaving director of Philadelphia's Operation Ava animal shelter. "When they are separated, they get really insecure."
As of Sunday afternoon, no one had completed an application to adopt the brothers, but people from as far away as the U.K. were expressing a desire to take them in.
"I wish people realized that just because you've seen them doesn't mean they've been adopted," said Cary, 28, who posted the Facebook photos Thursday and Friday on the request of Operation Ava. "They still need somebody to come rescue them."
Jermaine and Jeffrey both had mange when they were rescued, but they are "happy" and in "very good health now," Little said.
The dogs will be held at Operation Ava until they are adopted as a pair.
"They obviously have some sort of innate bond," said Emily Simmons, executive director of the Chester County SPCA, "and it will be wonderful to see them adopted together."
To learn more about adopting the pair, contact Operation Ava at 215-240-1240.

Man and his guide dog hiking 1,000 miles
A legally blind North Carolina man and his guide dog are hiking a thousand miles for charity.
Trevor Thomas, of Charlotte, and his guide dog, Tenille, set out on April 6, hiking the Mountains-to-Sea Trail to raise money for Guide Dogs for the Blind, which is where Tenille came from.
"The dogs are very expensive, the school receives absolutely no public funding at all," Thomas said. "It's all done on donation."
Thomas, who calls himself "Zero/Zero," a reference to his eyesight, was the first blind person to complete a solo hike of the entire 2,175-mile Appalachian Trail.
He has also completed two hikes through the Shenandoah Mountains, four through the Smokey Mountains, and, according to his website, is the first blind person to hike the length of the John Muir Trail in California.
"Getting Tennille was probably the best decision I've made since going blind," Thomas said. "She has changed blindness from a negative to a positive, especially in my interaction with people. Now that I have Tennille people want to engage us, they want to find out more about this amazing dog that I have.
"She is literally the final piece in the puzzle to be able to undertake this trek working as a team, that's the only way we're going to be able to get from one end of this to the other. Just the sheer companionship alone is worth its weight in gold," he added. "Tennille's not only a guide, she's a friend."

West Cork Islands Community Council and website launched
'OUR aim from now on is to speak with one voice and I hope you'll listen to us,' said Syd Cheatle in County Hall at the formal launch of West Cork Islands Community Council and its much acclaimed new website, www.westcorkislands. com.
Mr Cheatle is the newly elected chairperson of the council, which was launched by Deputy Mayor of the County, Declan Hurley.
The body, modelled on Muintir na Tíre, represents all seven inhabited islands and also promotes, through the website, Garnish Island.
Elected members are: Sarah Matthews and John Moore, Heir Island; Robert O'Rourke and Hueston Dagg, Long Island; Ferdia Ó Liatháin and Fiona McLoughlan, Cape Clear Island; Robbie Murphy and Syd Cheatle, Sherkin Island; Rosarie O'Neill and Martin Sheehan, Dursey Island; Tim O'Leary, Whiddy Island; and John Orpen and Colum Harrington, Bere Island.
'This is a great day for West Cork', said Ms Theresa White, assistant county manager and chairperson of the West Cork Islands Inter-agency Group. She paid tribute to all the voluntary council members. She specially praised Cllr Gerard Murphy of the county enterprise board, Breeda Murphy, community development officer; Máire Ní Shé of Údarás na Gaeltachta, Majella Ní Chríocháin of Comhdhail ni nOileán, Mairtin O Mealoid of Comharchumann Chleire Teo and other agencies (which also included West Cork Enterprise Board, An Garda Siochana, Fás and the IFA). Padraig Moore, Rose O'Sullivan, Niall O'Mahony and Orpen Design Solutions also attended.
The main aim, said Ms White, was for islands to have a collective voice rather than act individually and through the use of new technology and marketing, to increase their visibility and profile and attract more tourists and business.
Syd Cheatle, who pointed out that his mother, Aileen Foley, came from Skibbereen, recalled that when he became active in his community 30 years ago, the islands were very much the poor relation. However, through the county council, an islands committee was set up in the 1990s and now these had a fully representative body to work for their long-term interests. He and Cllr G Murphy thanked everyone associated with the launch.
John Walsh of Bere Island Projects Group illustrated to councillors, using a large screen, the new website with beautiful photographs about the 'diamond necklace' of seven inhabited islands plus Garnish as well as general information, a video by John and Sarah Carey and how to access these. Objectives were to build the brand of West Cork islands, attract visitors, generate business, assist with marketing and update communities of news and events. He said the group was working closely with Failte Ireland, the county council and others.
The website, he pointed out, was available in several languages, including Chinese and Arabic. A further official video was planned and there would also be a quarterly newsletter. A marketing brochure had been developed and an open weekend for all islands held under the islands strategy. Already the website had received 'hits' from 35 countries, including Jamaica, and was linked to Facebook and Twitter.
Collective approach
County manager Martin Riordan welcomed the collective approach, which was the result of a great amount of hard work, and urged more people to get involved to ensure the islands' needs were heard and met. The West Cork islands were a hidden gem and renowned for the friendliness of their people. Apart from tourism, they could provide a good niche for business by availing of the council's economic development unit.
Cllr Christy O'Sullivan (Fianna Fail) said it was 'a fantastic development' and it was now important to promote the website and meet the wish list of the islands' community council, particularly regarding better access and infrastructure.
Cllr Donal O'Rourke (FF) paid tribute to the pro-active role of Ms White, who was retiring the following day, and urged Mr Riordan to retain the position of divisional manager for West Cork. He also stressed the need for the council to always reflect the unique culture of the islands in the county development plan.
Cllr Patrick Gerard Murphy (FF) congratulated all concerned as did Cllr Aindrias Moynihan (FF).
Cllr Jerry Sullivan (Fine Gael) said the new council and website for the islands represented strength in numbers and could only be of benefit to West Cork while Cllr Mary Hegarty (FG) praised all involved for doing so much good work and featuring such beautiful images. She also referred to the potential for other developments such as the third-level arts course on Sherkin.
'A momentous day for West Cork,' said a delighted Cllr Dermot Sheehan (FG). For seven islands and 21 agencies to be able to come together and achieve so much was remarkable and he agreed with Cllr O'Rourke of the importance of having a divisional manager. Cllr Adrian Healy (FG) concurred, pointing out that the Western Committee had been retained in order to keep its two electoral areas united. As for the new website, he said it further enhanced the experience for the visitor.
Formally launching the new West Cork Islands Community Council and website, Cllr Hurley (Independent) also welcomed the collective representation, promotional and implementation role and objectives through a now permanent body to co-ordinate development of the islands which would provide opportunities for integration and community focus. The benefits were endless and remarkable and he wished the new council and website every success.
Cargo service
There was further good news this week when Labour TD for Cork South-West Michael McCarthy announced a new heavy cargo service for four West Cork islands which, he believed, would improve the lifestyles of local islanders by reducing transportation costs.
'This new service has been made possible by a Government-sanctioned grant and it will ensure that people living on Cape Clear, Sherkin, Heir and Long Islands have a reliable cargo service from now on. The service will run for 50 days over the next year and will be provided by Carbery Isle Ferries Teo,' he stated.
