WILMINGTON – Situated in historic downtown Wilmington, Emory's Crystals is in the Cotton Exchange and wants to welcome you, local or vacationer. Since Wilmington has such a variety to offer, Emory's Crystals can do the same for your crystal, gemstone and jewelry collections. Since it is Emory's Crystals, you can find natural gemstones and crystals, manmade crystals and lots of fun jewelry.
The jewelry line extends from fun fashion jewelry to handmade jewelry by local artists of course in the gemstone and crystal category. Besides that, they strive for a funky flare of unique items and items that you cannot find elsewhere. So, gemstones and crystals aside you can even find here: aluminum jewelry, cross body bags, scarves, bubble tops, tooth fairy treasure boxes, hand-carved turtle figurines, vintage brooches, necklaces, and clip-on earrings, fair-trade items, stained-glass earrings, and etc.
Emory's Crystals is very eclectic and pride themselves in having not what everyone else has. And since they know that some people want trends, they carry small lines of owl jewelry, nautical jewelry, cross jewelry, etc. This economy is tough, and they know that! They carry a wide variety of items in a wide variety of price ranges. They hand pick most of the items and pride themselves in quality jewelry, whether its fashion or handmade. You can find $5 bracelets to $1,000 geodes. So you pick, whatever your range is, they can accommodate it. And to fully express their competitive pricing, they do not play the price game, what you see is what you get. There are no tricks, they do not price the items way high up and then stick a 75 percent off sale tag on it to make you think you are getting a great deal. They understand that people want the main point and their prices reflect so. So if you understand good quality and want good quality, Emory's Crystals is the place to go, whether you want raw crystals and gemstones or fashion jewelry or handmade jewelry with crystals and gemstones.
Visit Emory's Crystals to go shopping for holidays, special occasions, and gifts of all kinds. They also love special requests as well. They are excited to create a unique or even simple piece of jewelry for you, as well as find a unique or simple raw crystal/gemstone for you. Whatever your craving is, they most likely can satisfy. This is an excellent store to shop for mom, wife, daughter, girlfriend, significant other, friend, house sitter, babysitter, etc. More geared for women, but there are a few items for men as well. They have a nice selection of stainless steel rings for men.
Halloween is coming and they will have, starting the beginning of October, skull earrings, necklaces, bracelets and scarves, as well as spider rings, necklaces and bracelets. They will also have some cool sparkly Halloween bags that can be used as a purse or candy bag for trick-or-treating. To coordinate with your Halloween costumes, they also have Glow-in-the-Dark nail paint (perfect for trick-or-treating or really fun for anytime of the year).
After Thanksgiving is enjoyed and appreciated by their family, Emory's Crystals will start their Christmas-time specials. They fully believe that Thanksgiving is overlooked and missed out on because big-box stores start clustering the isles with Christmas items well before they should. They want to be thankful and spend time with their friends and family as well as want you to enjoy your friends and family, so they do not start their Christmas stuff till after Thanksgiving is respected and appreciated. They are open the day after Thanksgiving and start the Christmas specials then. Also a kind reminder, Saturday after Thanksgiving is small-business Saturday, please come out and support small business. Emory's Crystals appreciates your business and support. They also look forward to helping you the best way possible and would like you to have an enjoyable shopping experience. They appreciate any and all feedback.
There is free customer parking in the back parking lot of the Cotton Exchange. The back parking lot faces The Hilton on the River. Mention this article for 15 percent off. Emory's Crystal loves the locals just as much as they love the tourists.

Manufacturing is undergoing a generational change disrupting the economic and cultural fabric of North Carolina. That was the message behind this week's Emerging Issues Forum, which brought together some of the state's top business and policy leaders for two days of conversation, networking and speeches. The 28th annual event, sponsored by the Institute for Emerging Issues, was held Monday and Tuesday at the Raleigh Convention Center.
The keynote speaker, former Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson, focused on the promise of advanced manufacturing, using a 3-D printer to create a small bust of Darth Vader on stage while he spoke. Today's children will grow up knowing that anything they can imagine can be manufactured, he said.
Speakers also included Gov. Pat McCrory, Raleigh Mayor Nancy McFarlane, Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris and Tom Kurfess, assistant director for advanced manufacturing in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. The state's two United States senators, Kay Hagan and Richard Burr, shared the stage for a panel moderated by retired Caterpillar CEO James Owens.
Melinda Walker, communications director for the Institute for Emerging Issues, said it wasn't that long ago that manufacturing was dead in North Carolina.
"Now we're talking about a third Industrial Revolution, and people are taking note," she said.
Students Win Big
A highlight of the forum was the presentation of the 2013 Emerging Issues Prize for Innovation by Chancellor Randy Woodson. The winning teams, from North Vance High School and UNC Chapel Hill, each received $5,000.
Next year the stakes will get even bigger. The State Employees Credit Union Foundation announced the first of four planned $200,000 annual grants in support of the newly named State Employees Credit Union Emerging Issues Prize for Innovation. The 2014 competition will engage college students to collaborate and respond to challenges facing their communities and state, specifically in the areas of education, health, natural and built environments, and the economy. The SECU Foundation's gift will allow IEI to expand the competition, offering $50,000 in prizes to winning college teams in each issue area.
The institute, founded in 2002 by former Gov. Jim Hunt, brings people together around complex issues in pursuit of a single goal: to ensure North Carolina's future competitiveness.

This new design is funky as hell. Well done to the designer.
1. Extra Categories
2. Thread titles in the title meta (Google is now my Silverstripe Q&A)
No one can accuse the SS team of ignoring community suggestions.
Edit: One pedantic thing, the "Help" menu item is highlighted whilst the forum is currently open.

Looks great and very clean and slick, but did you know the "Reply" and "Subscribe" buttons look broken on FF3. They are not vertically aligned correctly. Looks like a float problem.
EDIT: Attached a screenshot
EDIT 2: There is also a noticeable color difference from the gray in the logo and the gray below it and when you go to hover it from the bottom it ".org" to "Home" flickers a few times (looks like if you hover the very bottom of the logo image where the two grays meet) and it looks like gray from the logo gets longer.

Nice work.
Is possible to have a quick reply in the bottom like in vbulletin foruns ?. In long posts we have to navigate to the top to make the reply and for quicker answer it will be better to have the field already open.
Thank you,

Hay-on-Wye set to lead the way on food waste in Powys (From Ledbury Reporter)

Hay-on-Wye set to lead the way on food waste in Powys in joint initiative with Friends of the Earth Cymru and local eatery the Granary
Updated 3:18pm Monday 14th April 2014 in News
HAY-ON-WYE could be leading the way on food waste in the region following a move by campaigners.
Residents teamed up with local eatery, the Granary, Wrap and Friends of the Earth Cymru to host a training day when local partnership adviser Joanne Tarling gave a presentation on food waste – and how to avoid it.
It's part of the Love Food, Hate Waste campaign, which aims to reduce the amount of food wasted in the UK each year.
About 19% of all food and drink brought into the UK is binned - almost a fifth.
In total, about £12.5 billion of food ends up in British bins each year.
As a result of the training day, Bleddyn Lake of FoE's local group's development office has announced a meeting at the Globe, in Hay on Wye on Thursday, April 17, at 7.30pm, to discuss the possibility of Hay becoming one of Wales' first Hafsa towns.
Hafsa is the Hospitality and Food Service Agreement that food-related businesses sign up to pledge to cut down on the food they waste, by possibly participating in business recycling schemes, offering doggy bags to users and even launching community cafe or other ventures to ensure that leftover food isn't wasted.
For more information contact Bleddyn on email@example.com.

EndGroceryWaste says...
The consumer "Last In First Out" shopping behavior might be one of the weakest links of the fresh food supply chain.
The new open GS1 DataBar standard enables applications that encourage efficient consumer shopping by offering him automatic and dynamic purchasing incentives for perishables approaching their expiration dates before they end up in a landfill.
The "End Grocery Waste" application, which is based on the open GS1 DataBar standard, encourages efficient consumer shopping behavior that maximizes grocery retailer revenue, makes fresh food affordable for all families and effectively reduces the global carbon footprint.

Should the Cowboys claim Greg Childs?
" Two days after Greg Childs tore the patellar tendon in each of his knees, the Minnesota Vikings took the first step toward placing him on injured reserve by waiving him as injured. " "Childs was on his way to becoming a top 10 pick before he got hurt, and if he's 100% healthy, mark my words, this kid will be good." Childs was a big, strong, fast WR for the Hogs. The Vikings stole him in the 4th round as he was just finally getting fully recovered from a previous knee injury. Would it be worth it for the Boys to swipe him and put him on IR this year? Knowing he was a 1st round talent without the injury. Here is the results/scouting report from his proday. http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/13682485/35124492

If you want to see the shooting stars, the best viewing will be possible if you look northeast.

Summer Salmon Stuffed Peppers
I have never been a fan of stuffed peppers. However, this different take filled with salmon, rice and zucchini made me curious to give stuffed peppers another try. The result is a great mix for a lighter summer meal. Salmon's high omega-3 fatty acids and high protein content make it a healthy choice.
Abbi @ onceamonthmeals.com, adapted from Healthy Foodie Travels
- 10 ounces salmon, grilled or poached
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup chopped onion
- 0.5 cup chopped zucchini
- 0.5 cup chopped yellow squash
- 0.5 cup chopped tomatoes
- 4 cups cooked brown rice
- 0.5 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp dried thyme
- 1 cup water
- 3 bell peppers, assorted colors
In a large pan, cook the garlic and onion until light brown. Add zucchini, squash and tomato. Cooke 1-2 minutes. Add brown rice and water, stir for 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat, add salmon and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Halve the peppers, removing stems and seeds. Place peppers in baking dishes and add filling to each. Proceed to freezing directions or bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes if serving immediately.
Freezing Directions:
Freeze baking dishes with stuffed peppers. To serve, thaw, bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until heated through.

This looks amazing! I can't believe I never thought of stuffing peppers with salmon! I will replace the brown rice with quinoa though, as it increases both protein and fiber, while ever so slightly lowering carbs. It should overpower the salmon less, too! Thanks for a great recipe! :)
I was just about to add this recipe to my ziplist for the June diet menu. The ingredient list matches what printed out for my recipe card but here it says 4 bell peppers and on my recipe card it says 6 bell peppers. Both here and on the card it says 6 servings. Wouldn't it actually be 3 bell peppers if each serving is a half pepper stuffed? Or is 1 serving both halves stuffed? Then it would be 6 peppers. A little confused.
Do I cook the salmon all the way through first or partially and then bake it the rest of the way?
Hi! I want to swap this into a menu, but it's not showing up in the search results when I click "swap recipes". any suggestions?
Ok. Will add this one in "manually" for now!

The focus of the team is now creating a soul, an underlying thread which connects different people together. SANGEETA PRASAD, CEO, MAHINDRA CITY
Having to hobble around with a broken foot didn't deter Sangeeta Prasad from making it to Davos for the annual WEF meet in January. At a breakfast meeting hosted by Nestle Chairman Peter Brabeck, the CEO of Mahindra World City Developers Ltd spoke passionately on what's close to her heart these days: urbanisation and creating alternative cities.
After missing many time slots, I finally manage to meet up with the energetic lady on a Monday morning for coffee at the ubiquitous Café Coffee Day in mid-March. Her foot hasn't healed yet, but that isn't stopping her from speeding around for meetings. Later in the afternoon, she's headed to Kanchipuram town, 60 km from Chennai, to donate a bus from Mahindra to the municipality.
With some steaming cappuccino to chase away the Monday morning blues, Sangeeta recalls her morning in Davos. An early and cold January breakfast meeting on 'urbanisation' sponsored by Nestle and attended by the Nestle Chairman, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Secretary General, the Dean, MIT, WPP's Sir Martin Sorrell, HSBC's Naina Lal Kidwai, and the Nestle global board — all in all, a high-powered gathering.
Sangeeta kicked off her Powerpoint on the theme 'Yesterday, today, tomorrow', with a childhood reminiscence — a slide of the Flintstones. "Who better than the Flintstones to remember our yesterdays, and tell us that you can coexist with nature? You can live in multi-level homes and still have nature all around," she says, emphatically. The cartoon evidently went down well, she recalls with a laugh, since it woke everybody up to the essence of her presentation on developing alternative cities.
Advocating the cause of new urban centres is what Sangeeta Prasad does passionately at various fora. And why not? Mahindra World City, an integrated industrial and residential hub that sprang up 35 km from Chennai city, is now in its tenth year, and the group is celebrating its anniversary.
It's been some journey for the City, but ten years on, what was a barren but picturesque piece of land on the banks of the vast Kolavai lake in Kancheepuram district, has transformed into a bustling industrial and residential hub where 25,000 people work, 500 children learn, and 180 families live.
MNCs such as BMW and Timken have their facilities here, while several top IT players, such as Infosys and Wipro, have set up their IT parks within MWC. Villas and apartments have sprung up, while a planned hotel, club, and a hospital are some of the offerings which are coming up, which will add value to the building's ecosystem, she says. The Mahindra group itself has established its research valley here.
Sangeeta, 43, has been four years into this journey, after her 15-year stint in Tata Steel, in diverse assignments and locations, including Jamshedpur, and later Chennai, which shaped her for her role in MWC, she says.
We order another coffee as we talk of what is in store for the next ten years for the City that Mahindra built. "The focus of the team is now creating a soul, an underlying thread which connects the different people and their realms together. While we strengthen the arms and legs, it's the soul which needs to shine. We have dedicated this decade to building that soul for the City."
It's not going to be easy, she realises. But, what gives her heart is a recent quiz contest the City organised for the thousands of young people who come to work every day at MWC. Eighty-seven teams registered, she says.
Her task is to get the companies based in the City involved, to make it a landmark, annual event, open to all. "With so many companies coming up on this stretch of highway, the social milieu of this region is changing. Soon, I feel, this side of the airport will become more cosmopolitan than Chennai. The quiz is a great binder we are looking at," she elaborates. This and various programmes will become regular features which can draw not only the people from within the City, but people from outside too. "It will be a converging opportunity for entertainment, culture and competition," she adds.
The ideas come tumbling out. "We are evaluating the idea of a cultural programme which we can stage every year, and make Mahindra City a destination," she elaborates. The Mahindras, incidentally, already stage the Mahindra Blues festival in Mumbai and a theatre festival in Delhi, so a heritage concept is already built deep into the brand.
Sangeeta says Mahindra City has progressed well on developing the industrial and residential space, but to make people feel they belong, "It's important to add sports, culture and entertainment," she adds.
The Mahindras have taken their 'alternative cities' concept elsewhere too. While one more MWC has sprung up in Jaipur, yet another is planned to the north of Chennai. "The idea in destination building is to bring people away from the congestion in the city. And why can't this city espouse culture, music, education…" she trails off.
Having spent her growing years in Kolkata and having exposure to a city steeped in culture have left a deep imprint on Sangeeta. An engineering graduate from Jadavpur University, she was taken in by Tata Steel, but joined after two years post the completion of her MBA from IIM, Lucknow.
She had a good 16-year stint in the steel major where she was put through the mill, which steeled her to handle diversity. She relocated to Chennai to head the southern region business of Tata Steel and to eventually move on to the Mahindra group.
While she's immersed in her work and 'city building', the diversion in her life is her 12-year-old daughter, Anusrita. "It's very important to be in touch with this generation; they're so self-assured and perceptive and she teaches me to be patient. Why, she even brought me up to speed on European football and I could carry on conversations with overseas visitors!"
It's time for Sangeeta to proceed to her next meeting 60 kms away, and she's off in an instant, hobbling nimbly to her car, crutch in one hand and mobile in another. For her, she says, the City never sleeps, and memories of her father, a huge support in her life and career, will never die.

Through many surveys, executives have identified that Big Data initiatives rank high on the projects lists for 2012 and 2013. It's not surprising, since the promise that Big Data can improve and streamline presentations, gain insights to consumer purchasing habits and, in the healthcare industry, even help save lives is simply too important to ignore.
What does Big Data mean? Term causes concern and confusion
A new study suggests many organisations are concerned about managing big data, but most don't have a clear understanding of what Big Data means. Log management solutions can help organisations make sense of some of the data they're generating, but many resort to syslogs, spreadsheets or nothing at all.
The solution to legacy application woes
Legacy applications are one of the most difficult issues to face within IT. A rip-and-replace approach is expensive and thus difficult to justify; plus, it tends to interrupt operations. Meanwhile, the ageing software lingers in accounting's ledgers, overstays its welcome in sales and causes poor network performance throughout the organisation.
Microsoft steams into services with Azure
Microsoft has bet big on cloud computing and the Azure platform. It has to make rapid steps to catch up with the likes of Amazon and Google who have set the pace in the market. Yet, all the signs are the company could do it and make Azure a mainstay of the computing world for some time.

Asset files prone to deletion by other users
28 September 2012 at 12:29am Last edited: 2 October 2012 1:41am
I am building a community web site and I am looking for a way which will allow a user to upload a document to the server in the CMS without the ability to delete files and images uploaded by other users.
Perhaps I am overlooking an available option or a solution which involves little coding.
I have looked at the Secure Files module and this appears to do more than I need. I really do not want to add a module which may have noticeable impact on performance.
I am using Version 2.4.7 because I am limited to using PHP 5.2
Re: Asset files prone to deletion by other users
30 September 2012 at 11:30pm Last edited: 1 October 2012 11:37am
If I understand correctly, permissions are solely group-based. In the Files and Images section of the CMS, permissions based on a file's owner cannot be set as standard. Unless I have overlooked something, in order to give a user the ability to upload documents, you also have to give that user delete-access to documents uploaded by other users - even users belonging to different groups.
In order to resolve this vulnerability, I have come up with a solution but it is extremely hacky, documents are uploaded to the root assets folder only, and I do not like it. For what it is worth this is what I did. Changes were made in 4 areas as follows. I am using Version 2.4.7 because I am limited to using PHP 5.2.
The following changes were made to sapphire\filesystem\File.php
function canEdit($member = null) {
if(!$member) $member = Member::currentUser();
$result = $this->extendedCan('canEdit', $member);
if($result !== null) return $result;
return Permission::checkMember($member, 'CMS_ACCESS_AssetAdmin');
// Gives edit capability to admin members for all files
if(!$member) $member = Member::currentUser();
if(Permission::checkMember($member, 'ADMIN') || $ID==0){
return true;
// Gives edit capability to the owner of the folder/file
$ownerid=My::returnValue("select ownerid from File where ID=$ID");
if($member->ID==$ownerid)return true;
return false;
where My::returnValue is a function which I wrote so I could use standard SQL. (This is probably not recommended)
When browsing admin/assets, the above change allows edit/delete links to appear for records belonging to the file owner only unless the user is an administrator.
The following two lines were added at Line 391 in sapphire\filesystem\Folder.php
$member = Member::currentUser();
if(!Permission::checkMember($member, 'ADMIN'))$deleteButton=new HiddenField('deletemarked');
This removes the Delete Selected Files button at the bottom of the right hand frame.
The following two lines were added to the top and bottom of cms\templates\Includes\AssetAdmin_left.ss.
<% if isAdministrator %>
<% end_if %>
This removes all content in the left hand frame. This was necessary to remove folder deletion capability.
The following code was added to cms\code\AssetAdmin.php.
function isAdministrator() {
return Permission::checkMember($this, 'ADMIN');
The above function had to be created because use of a conditional statement which called the isAdmin function in sapphire\security\Member.php caused issues with variables in cms\templates\Includes\AssetAdmin_left.ss which referenced functions in AssetAdmin.php.
Re: Asset files prone to deletion by other users

Since I was not happy with the hacky solution shown in my last posting, I decided to implement the Secure Files module and take any performance hit which this may introduce.
On doing this, I uncommented the line in _config.php which assigns file security by the individual member, ran /dev/build?flush=1 and browsed the Files & Images page using ?Flush=all.
However it would appear that files uploaded to the root folder are still vulnerable to deletion by other users. Unless I have overlooked something, only files uploaded to subfolders can be set up with restricted access. This is of little consolation because users would have a natural tendency to upload files to the root folder.
Uncommenting all 3 options in _config.php, re-running /dev/build?flush=1 and browsing the Files & Images page with ?Flush=all did not appear to address this particular issue.
Is this a red herring due to something which I have overlooked?
Re: Asset files prone to deletion by other users
4 October 2012 at 9:21am
OK, I have now reverted back to using my hacky solution.
I hope this issue is due to something which I have overlooked.
If not, this is the only aspect of Silverstripe which I have found to be lacking and disappointing.

I am not going to blabber on for paragraphs about how great this album is. If you consider yourself a music enthusiast with, at the very least, some flavorful taste in the rock genre and have not heard this album — then do yourself a favor and fork over $5.99 and download it. You'll be able to listen to this album from beginning to end every single time. This is the type of album that is definitely worth the purchase.
As of writing, there have only been two reviews of this album prior to my own personal review submission; I believe that both of these reviews adequately and appropriately described the band's sound and album's delivery. Sorry for the lackluster review, but I just wanted to reinforce their opinions.

CBS's Rose Scolds Newt: 'Why Are Drudge and Ann Coulter Attacking You?'
On Monday's CBS This Morning, Charlie Rose hammered Newt Gingrich on the issue of the opposition his presidential campaign was receiving from some prominent conservatives: "Why are so many conservatives, including...Drudge and Ann Coulter, attacking you?" Rose also spotlighted how apparently "there are those who say that you [Gingrich] are angry and you want to get even with Romney."
The anchor started relentlessly pursued Gingrich not long after he began the interview. He asked the Drudge and "get even" questions in quick succession after getting the former House Speaker to reply to a recent comment from opponent Mitt Romney. Later, the CBS journalist pounced when the Georgia Republican raised what George Soros said recently, that "there isn't all that much difference" between President Obama and Romney [audio clip available here; video below the jump]:
GINGRICH: ...When Floridians learn that George Soros thinks that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are both okay, but that Newt Gingrich is really a threat because he's a genuine conservative-
ROSE: I don't believe-
GINGRICH: I think, in the next 24 hours, things are going to change-
ROSE: I don't believe, Mr. Speaker, that you think that George Soros's opinion is what's going to be at- the issue in a Republican primary in South Ca [sic]- in Florida.
GINGRICH: I think when you have a left-wing billionaire tell Europeans that he thinks Romney's just fine because he's just as much a part of the establishment as Obama, and that he can live with Romney...I think it's pretty easy to make the case- Romney is a guy who will manage the decay; he's not the guy who's going to change Washington.
Rose followed this by returning to the issue of conservatives opposing Gingrich, and dropped the name of a current MSNBC anchor into the mix:
ROSE: But I have still not come to an understanding of why so many people that worked with you are concerned about you being the nominee. This is not people from the establishment necessarily. I mean, these are people who were with you, including Joe Scarborough, Tom DeLay-
GINGRICH: Wait a second-
ROSE: And others who were part of what the revolution that Gingrich made.
GINGRICH: Look, take the case of DeLay. I can't imagine anybody in the news media is going to cite Tom DeLay. Tom DeLay represented a fundamentally different approach to authority than I did. He got in enormous trouble for it. You can argue that, in many ways, he was the architect of the 2006 disaster. I am- look, I was a very tough speaker of the House.
Earlier in the segment, the CBS anchor raised how former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been coming to Gingrich's defense, and asked, "Do you approve of Sarah Palin talking about what has happened to you as 'Stalin-esque'?"
Two weeks earlier, on the January 17, 2011 edition of the CBS morning show, Rose hinted that the former speaker should apologize for a supposedly racially-tinged comment he recently made: "I want to give you an opportunity, because the point was made...about it's better for black Americans to seek a job than it is to seek food stamps, and many people stepped forward to say, isn't that simply true for all Americans who are desperately looking for jobs?"

Rose: Tryin' to have it both ways
Submitted by Galvanic on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 4:32pm.
GINGRICH: "Look, take the case of DeLay. I can't imagine anybody in the news media is going to cite Tom DeLay."
Gingrich has a point there.
The MSM has given extensive coverage to Tom DeLay and his legal troubles. They've painted him as an evil doer out to undermine democracy in Texas..
And we know that if DeLay endorsed Gingrich, Rose would ask, "Aren't you concerned that Tom DeLay -- a politician who's had lots of legal woes -- had come out and endorsed you?"
So, if why on Earth would Gingrich be concerned that DeLay doesn't support him, and why on Earth would Rose think DeLay's opinion mattered.
Coulter's endorsement of Romney says a lot more about Coulter's bona fides as a conservative than it does about Romney. She was highly critical of Bush-43, and Romney is a Bush-clone.

The real difference between Mitt and Newt....
when Mitt got political power he built a moderate record to get along with democrats...(thus the excuses/flips, he socialized medicine and he left rated very low)
when Newt got political power he built a conservative record 2nd to none despite a "slick" democrat president...
(90% lifetime conservative rating, Welfare Reform. more jobs, Contract With America)
There is also a huge difference when describing OzBama as "In over his head" (Mitt) vs "He is an Alinsky radical"
(Newt)...thinkers know which one nails J. Carter OzBama and which is the usual Dole/McLoser sissy approach to the socialist apostles (aka democrats).

Bingo! And that's a key
Submitted by okie-pastor on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 5:52pm.
And that's a key issue.
It's easy to be anti-healthcare now, because it's unpopular but what if some liberal issue is popular. Do you forsake conservatism and "compromise" for political reasons or do you stand on principle and go out and make the case for conservatism.
I'm for the latter, I'm not sure Romney is.
To be fair I wonder if newt is either. He said "if you seek to be a perfect minority, you'll remain a minority" I took that to mean if your views are not popular and you hold them stridently you will be principled but still lose.
but to his credit he has not forsaken the conservative line even as polls show him behind in Florida. And that encourages me.

MUSH MOUTH COWARDS vs CONSERVATIVES
Submitted by reelman46 on Mon, 01/30/2012 - 4:51pm.
Its a battle between the mush mouth quarter pie ole soul-selling elites that are so weak they worry about their own skins more than America and THINKING Repubs/conservatives.
After the elite (Rove) let Bush be a mute punching bag for 3 years and the elites before that gave us loser Dole and then the elites gave us McLoser...Guess who they endorsed? Now we have 15 trillion of debt and a sack full of ignored issues...so who can blame THINKING GOP voters for being skeptics? These spineless GOP ole boy clowns created the Tea Party by being gutless get-a-longs...just as the biased media created Talk Radio...can't that at least be admitted?
We have an arrogant apostle of socialist utopianism who cannot live in the real economic world or tell the truth...he cannot run on his record and is a sitting duck quacking bold lies...look at the voters in Nov 2010...they sent 730 dimdems home for a record hammering...did the elites learn from that? Nooo.
OzBama can only win by stealing it or a 3rd Party or another pantywaist...you pick it.
We thinkers want to at least eliminate the flipper pantywaist with the mush mouth record.
Forrest G. OzBama or J. Carter Obama, whichever...by any sane process, he should lose big but the media (their own 3rd party) was shocked/wrong in 1994 and shocked/wrong in Nov 2010...so the fantasy begins.

For several days there have been many supporters claiming Drudge was unbiased and the obvious fraudulent hit pieces on Newt were to be expected.
Now we have left wing cbs news saying Drudge is biased against Newt.
Can there be a more clear example of Republican establishment bias than what Drudge has now embedded itself into?
(pssst: Matt, there is a hot opinion piece that Newt was actually a progressive democrat over on politico! You better link to it PRONTO! Put it in RED and get the light flashing! You know, just like you did 2 days before the SC primary!)

...couldn't be more true than during this GOP nomination process.
And from your link MB:
Odd when you consider that, less than one year ago, Coulter told a packed house at CPAC the exact opposite: "If you don't run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we'll lose," she said. "By the way, I warned you about McCain." (I don't know, maybe Ann's now angling for a gig as Romney's Secretary of Snark. Look for her next book: "Moderate: An Autobiography.")

While sometimes desirable.Should be done before hand in smoke filled rooms and carried out in the dead of night. Not in the limelight shined by a biased press and a fickle public. If the GOP splits the winning of the Presidency probably won't happen although sometimes coalitions can join to beat a common enemy divorce will certainly follow. I contend, and this is my opinion, without the independents and fence sitters the GOP cannot win the Presidency. It is extremely important, however, that we win back the Senate and keep the house.

So this morning I woke up ready to work out! The Plyo XT Workout was INTENSE and difficult to do the full jumps in our 3rd floor apartment but id as many as possible. I would have to say that I only completed 50% of the workout overall but saw it through the end and did every exercise.
Plyometrics: Insanity vs. P90X vs. TapouT XT
The difference between TapouT XT and Insanity was the premise of the moves. With Insanity the moves are based on basic plyometrics or athletic contexts while TapouT XT uses an MMA context. Insanity also keeps the moves simpler and repetitive while keeping a high intensity. TapouT XT is just as intense and perhaps more difficult than Insanity Plyo and the moves can often be more complex as well; furthermore, the routine is fast moving and combats boredom in your workout. While some moves in TapouT XT build on one another, you do not have the sense of sets or repetition that you get in both Insanity or P90X.
P90X Plyo was very clear and easy to follow for anyone and the workout really built up to a climax. TapouT XT is just Climax with 2 moments that were called stretches and was very hard to finish. I find the instructor, Mike Karpenko, easier to see day in and day out, while Tony Horton is good but a little overwhelming on a daily basis. I like both P90X Plyo and TapouT XT but it seems P90X PLyo is easier to do in an apartment.
Overall, TapouT XT is a better routine for me that can give me a full workout without dumb bells. The people in the workout video seem normal where the ones in Beachbody workout videos seem to be super human, especially the dude in the Ab routine in P90X (those who X, know what I mean).

Well done, JR, this goes on the front page - Dirk
These two day breaks between games are exhausting. The mind wanders. Side trips into the surreal are made. We've all been there. The distance between 8 p.m. Sunday and 7:30 p.m. Wednesday is just too long. We all have to find ways to pass the time. All the time alone gives rise to dangerous bouts of self-reflection.
What does it all mean? Does my life have meaning?
Why do I like Nick Spaling so much?
Fret not, OtFers. FaaaangFiiinger [the Stephen Merchant to my Ricky Gervais] and I are here to help with wild, unfounded generalizations.
Submitted for your approval, our light-hearted look at what your favorite Nashville Predator says about you. We're just kidding. We promise.
Wade Belak: Your girlfriend likes Jordin Tootoo and you do too, but for totally different reasons.
Cody Franson: You really like Shea Weber, but think that's too obvious.
Blake Geoffrion: You think the only coffee is Maxwell House, the only candy cluster is Goo-Goo, your favorite president is Andrew Jackson and you still drive a Saturn.
Shea Weber: You like beards and a bunch of people told you he was good.
Jonathon Blum: Congratulations! You're related to Jonathon Blum!
Kevin Klein: You are a contrarian.
Marcel Goc: You're handsome and smart. Obviously.
Martin Erat: You value hilarious accents a bit more than hockey skill. You may be a dentist.
David Legwand: Because [screw] you, that's why. Also, you bought his jersey in 1998 and the new ones are soooo expensive, youknowhatimsaying.
Mike Fisher: You have been a secret Canadian or a secret American Idol fan for years. Or you are Don't Feed the Belak.
Nick Spaling: You like plucky guys who work hard. Put it this way: he is almost certainly your mom's favorite. You also have an irrational hatred for the state of Minnesota.
Matthew Lombardi: You are easily disoriented. You need to lie down in a dark, cool room. You haven't watched a game since October. You talk a lot about "potential."
Ryan Suter: You're a throwback. You prefer your women and your defensemen to stay at home.
Jordin Tootoo: Fight! Fast! Whistle! Is that a caribou?
Matt Halischuk: You think Nick Spaling is too flashy.
Jerred Smithson: You value hard work and you don't like to change your facial expression very much.
Steve Sullivan: You missed out on playing hockey with your dad when you were 10 so your favorite player is someone who looks like your dad and is as tall as you were at 10.
Patric Hornqvist: Your friends love you, but nobody else can stand you. Everyone seems to think your face is dirty, but that could be because you are constantly showing them your backside.
Joel Ward: You don't understand why roller hockey isn't on ESPN2 any more. You are a team player and a go-with-the-flow kind of guy.
Colin Wilson: You prefer the highlight to the grind. You and your girlfriends LOVE singing "I Will Survive" at wedding receptions. And no, you're not jealous your younger sister is already married; this is the year you finally meet Mr. Right!
Pekka Rinne: You value consistency and reliability. Your life is very much like a Prudential commercial.
Anders Lindback: You just love puppies and rainbows and, ohhhh, look at that! Are those Doritos? Your idea of a perfect evening is watching Toy Story 3. You are really happy the Predators didn't sweep so we can go back to California and you can go to Disneyland. You and your buddies are going to go to Bonnaroo to see Mumford & Sons, but only if your grades are good and your stupid sister doesn't need to use the Astrovan.
Francis Bouillon: Sophisticated and cosmopolitan, you also enjoy the visceral surge of a big hit. Your friends are concerned, as you have not been seen in weeks. You should really call them.
Shane O`Brien: You are a fan of fights and foolish penalties. You take pick-up basketball games at the YMCA just a little too seriously. Your name is probably Bob Murray.
J.P. Dumont: You long for a time when the hockey was slow and the mustaches were great. You also have an affinity for community service and the French language.
Sergei Kostitsyn: You are likely to "accidentally" take designer drugs. You own many silk shirts. You are definitely going to see Lady Gaga.
Gnash: You eagerly await all the presents you will be getting at your third birthday party.

Many people braved the cold to enjoy an annual holiday tradition.
Hundreds took part in the Beckley Christmas Parade in Uptown. 59News reporter Jessie Gavin takes us there.
Freezing temperatures nor snow could keep adults and children away from the holiday fun.
As floats passed by, kids ran up and grabbed their candy and sang and danced along to the bands. Here's what kids enjoyed the most.
"My favorite part of the parade is the big dawg."
Tell me, what's your favorite part of the parade?
"The candy!"
"I've been to like 8 of these parades."
Why do you keep coming back?
"Because of the candy!"
Parade attendees traveled from all over Southern West Virginia to enjoy a Christmas tradition and to spend some quality family time with loved ones.
"It's great to see anybody in the community doing anything that can raise holiday spirits and also community events, anything that brings people together," said Michael Morgan.
He told 59News why his family wanted to make the drive from Summers County to be at the parade Saturday.
"My son loves to come out and see everything. So far we have been very impressed with the middle school bands. We are from Summers County and we decided to come over because over there we don't have middle school bands so it's been really fun to watch and hear these bands," Morgan said.
The parade's theme this year was "A West Virginia Christmas"

(WMC) - Hundreds of images of child pornography were allegedly found on a Memphis man's computer and phone.
Jerry Nance, 44, has been charged with sexual exploitation of a minor.
It is a crime police have been investigating for a few weeks and on Saturday night Nance is locked up at 201 Poplar, after he admitted to police that he downloaded sexually explicit photos of children.
On May 7, police received a complaint about Nance after he allegedly sent explicit images of children via email.
"It's such a shame the community or the city has to put up with such a person, low life," said Wanda Pounders.
A search of his computer found more than 100 images of children, some as young as 7 years old. His cell phone also contained images of children as young as 2 years old being sexually assaulted by men.
Neighbors say he was recently married, has a 10-year-old son, and was a member of the military.
WMC Action News 5 knocked on Nance's door at the 800 block of South Yates Street, but his wife did not want to comment and quickly shut the door.
Nance remains in jail, his bond set at $100,000. He is set to appear in court Monday morning.

Exercise enthusiasts from Southern West Virginia on Saturday got to enjoy their favorite craft while giving back to kids in our area who are in need.
59News was at the United Methodist Temple in Beckley.
C4 Fitness Ministry hosted a team workout event to raise money for United Methodist Temple's FOLK (Feed our local kids) project where over 400 meals will be packed and sent home every Friday to feed children over the weekends who are in need. Each team's entry fee will feed one student for the entire school year.
"A lot of kids in our community go home on Friday and that's the last meal they get until Monday," United Methodist Temple attendee Lowell Maynor said.
Between mile runs, dumbbell lifts and burpies that never end participants told 59News the workouts are challenging, but exciting.
"Every 25 minutes they are doing a different workout. They have a 10 minute break and then it starts again," C4 coach Pete Staton said.
"I struggle with the upper body motions. The pull ups and push ups. My strengths are definitely lower body," said enthusiast Tiffany Radford.
Exercise enthusiasts told 59News why all the blood, sweat and tears left on the floor is worth it.
"It's our chance to bring people to Christ and to have a close knit family to rely on and come together to work out and get fit and come together to raise money and help feed our local kids," Radford told us.
Maynor said not only are they giving to the kids, the kids are giving something back to them as well.
"We've been doing it for three weeks now and a lot of the kids will send us notes and pictures and it's amazing how thankful they are to get the extra food for the weekends," he said.

According to CBS Sports, DeAngelo Williams has a strong hankering to be a Dolphin.
Williams was in town to participate in a charity triathlon. There has been speculation linking Williams to the Dolphins and when asked about it, he said, "I've heard rumors that I may be at the top their ... board this year."
And according to Omar Kelly of the Miami Sun-Sentinel,
"It's a little more than rumors."
Williams said he wanted to live in Miami. He also intimated that Miami might need to upgrade at quarterback, not only to improve the team but also to close the deal.
So there sit the Dolphins at #15, needing help at running back and quarterback. They could draft Mark Ingram. Or, they could use their pick to take a quarterback (I'm not going to speculate who), and in the process cement an understanding with Williams that puts him in aqua and orange this season.
Leaving Ingram on the board. And Canal Street Chronicles in a state of tense expectation not matched since Anthony Hargrove got hurt and CBS went to a commercial break in the fourth quarter.

A delicate blend of flowers and fresh chamomile really do make us feel like spring has come right into the shower with us. We also love how well the body wash lathers — a dime-sized amount yields so many suds upon a pouf, it's like you're in the middle of a bubble bath.
And if you're concerned about keeping your skin feeling baby soft, this wash — formulated with Vitamins A and E and aloe vera — will do just that. It's really a true delight for the senses!
So while the weather still has a bit of catching up to do, we're now in the mood to wear short skirts, striped tees and gladiator sandals!
CND Scentsations Wildflower & Chamomile Wash retails for $11.50 at timetospa.com.
Want to know a secret? There's nothing we love more than bargain beauty products, especially products that are so amazing, they rival any of the prestige brands at major department stores.

To help promote Target's "prettiest little secrets" initiative, we were asked to test out some of our favorite Indie Beauty products available at Target. Here are our top 4 must-haves:
1. Sonia Kashuk Instructional Eye Palette Shadow
This genius little palette not only contains 12 beautiful, blendable shades, but the smart compact contains step by step instructions on how to create 3 different eye looks. It's like having your own professional makeup artist in your makeup bag!
2. Pixi Flawless Beauty Primer No.1
This oil free water based primer is a must for your daily makeup application. It helps to even out your skin tone and creates a dewy, smooth surface on which to apply foundation and blush. It can even be worn alone for light coverage. We really love the luxurious, silky feel of the product and the smoothing effect it has on skin.
If you've only ever used a powder blush, you will be quickly won over by this sheer cheek gel. With an incredible gel-like texture, this cheek stain literally melts right into skin for a natural looking flush without the dry, powdery look of most blushes. It blends easily, has a weightless feel, and seems to last all day. A real winner!

From hair spritz to makeup glitz, you can save big on old favorites and new treats all in one convenient place.
During my latest hair appointment at Maude, my stylist Claire used a dime-sized amount of the product on my tresses after towel-drying my hair and I immediately thought, "Of course, talk up the $26 hair oil and then try to sell it to me as I walk out the door." But she didn't have to try at all because I was happy to pick up a small bottle and an even smaller TSA-approved travel tube of the stuff after what it did to my hair. It tamed my hair, but left it feeling natural and not at all product-y.
Added bonus: it works brilliantly as a finishing serum.
This unassuming pink tube looks like it contains a moisturizing, nourishing lip balm — which, in essence, it does. But in addition to being one of our favorite balms, it also imparts a gorgeous pink hue once it reacts with your body chemistry. What does this mean? The pink looks completely different on every woman!
We've found that applying it three or four times throughout the day or night leaves us with a gorgeous, almost fuchsia-like shade that actually makes heads turn … and looks amazing in pictures!
But be forewarned — this balm does not come off easily! If you're looking for a color that lasts for hours without fading, this one really delivers. It even lasts while you sleep!
So go ahead, pinkify your lips. We're betting you'll be glad you did.
Dior Addict Lip Glow retails for $29 at sephora.com.

The professional diagnosis of a learning disability in your child can be a difficult one, even for the most practiced medical staff. In many cases it won't be clear what the exact learning disability is or how it has come about. Discovering that your child has a learning disability can be an emotional and confusing experience. Not only will you have to deal with your own feelings and new fears about the future, you may need to offer extra advice and support to the diagnosed child along with other family members who will also be affected by the news.
The Initial Diagnosis
In some circumstances, learning disabilities can be diagnosed at birth, others may not be identified until later. Even if a learning disability is found at birth, doctors will not be able to tell exactly how the condition will affect a child's development. This will only become clear at milestone ages when they should be able to start to talk, walk or read. For this reason, for children who are not seen to have a learning disability at birth it can be a long time before a parent or doctor finds out. Victoria Royal Infirmary Consultant paediatrician, Dr. M.W. Platt, explains that the main problem with learning disability diagnosis is that it can be hard to make in very early life. "There may be very little in the way of developmental signs. If a child hasn't started talking by the age of two that can be linked to learning problems later on, but this is not certain."
The first thing parents may want to know when a child is diagnosed with a learning disability is what caused it? There are various possible causes for learning disabilities which occur before, during or very shortly after birth.
Learning disabilities are usually obvious by the age of five and intellectual function can only be accurately tested in children over this age; most children with learning disabilities are only diagnosed after starting school.
Coping with a diagnosis in early school years can be just as difficult as coping with a diagnosis made at birth, and the consequences may be just as vague. Even at the age of five, knowing how a learning disability will affect the child in later life is difficult. It is natural for parents to want more information on how the diagnoses disability will affect their child's development as they reach their teens and beyond. Usually the biggest concern for parents is thinking about what the future holds for their child; Mencap charity spokesman Lesley Campbell explains however "research indicates that it's pretty difficult to predict."
With this in mind, coping with learning disabilities involves monitoring your child's current progress and needs. These can be assessed at any stage past the age of five, to help work out what sort of support will help you and your child; after diagnosis a paediatrician (a child healthcare specialist) will be assigned to you as so you will have a professional on hand to discuss the disability with in detail.
Talking to other parents who have children with the same learning disabilities will prove invaluable too. Campbell continues "In the very early stages, talking to other parents is a useful source of support. It's only other parents who can help you in this situation". Other parents may be able to share information on a good local playgroup or, if needed, appropriate counselling for the family.
Understanding 'Developmental Delay'
When a child is not intellectually progressing as effectively as they should be a Doctor may describe them as having developmental delay. When developmental delay is suspected, further questions need to be asked to assess whether a learning disability is present:
- How much is the child's development delayed?
- In which area is the child's development delayed?
- Does the child have a background that may explain the delay (for example, a lengthy hospital stay due to an unconnected condition)?
- Could the delay be a result low level care or stimulation at home?
- Development delay is not a diagnosis of learning disability but can be a significant indicator.
Learning that a child has any form of disability can be a difficult experience not just for the parents but for the whole family.
For young siblings it can be hard to understand, although often brothers and sisters will develop a unique relationship with a sibling with learning disabilities, intuitively providing affection, understanding and sensitivity towards them.
Grandparents can also find it difficult to hear their grandchild has a learning disability and may want to be provided with as much information as the parents themselves.
Whatever the initial reaction of family members, try to teach the family unit as a whole to put things in perspective - learning disability is not insurmountable. Although it should also be encouraged for a family to discuss their early feelings and concerns on the diagnosis, families should then try to work together with a positive outlook for the diagnosed child. A child with learning disabilities will need emotional and moral support that will outweigh all other influences.
If you approach learning disability with optimism, a sense of humour and hard work, your child is more likely to see the challenges ahead as a speed bump rather than a roadblock.
For many families with learning disability children, the diagnosis brings a family closer together and offers a very rewarding upbringing.
Getting the Right Support
Due to the Children's Act, there is a legal obligation for social services to assess every 'child in need' including those with learning disabilities. This can be a daunting process but, the aim of assessment is to recognise the child's individual needs and create an action plan to ensure these needs are met - meaning both parent and child are always getting the right support.
There are various charities dedicated to families affected by learning disabilities, these include: Mencap, Kids, HFT and MacIntyre. Whether you need emotional or financial support, or further information on any aspect of coping with learning disabilities, they can be a vital resource.
Author Byline: Barrie Smith first noticed learning disabilities when his best friend was struggling at school. They had a buddy system and he was always helping him out with his homework. Whilst studying at University, Barrie worked at the local school with children with learning disabilities to help them get the support they need - sometimes, even a little confidence boost is enough to bring out the best in them. Barrie Smith is currently working for Oakhouse Foods, delivering frozen food to thousands of people across Britain each week and even putting the food in the freezer when required.

The Arizona Cardinals would apparently love to get rid of wide receiver Anquan Boldin(notes) this offseason. According to the NFL Network, the team is only asking for a third-round pick in this year's draft in exchange for him.
The Jets do not have a third or fourth round pick. Also Anquan has been crying for more money for the last three years. He is a physical posession receiver that works well in any team. But has been called a bad locker room influence.
He is probably going to be picked up fast by a team like the Eagles, Ravens, Steelers or Jaguars. Even though he would probably want a contract in the thirty million range.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — Nobody will be happier to see the calendar turn to December than the Indianapolis Colts.
The past month has seen the team embarrassed by a pair of NFC West opponents and pushed to its limit in comeback victories against two AFC South rivals.
The Colts played just one home game in November, and lost it. 38-8.
They survived the month with a 2-2 overall record and cling to a two-game lead in the AFC South. But if December starts just as poorly, real trouble will be brewing.
The Tennessee Titans (5-6) visit Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday as the sixth and final seed for the AFC playoffs. Win, and they cut Indianapolis' division lead to a single game with four remaining. Lose, and just one more victory for the Colts (7-4) or one additional loss for Tennessee will send the AFC South title back to the Circle City for the first time since 2010.
"You know how this team has responded to adversity," Indianapolis head coach Chuck Pagano said Monday, one day after his team's 40-11 loss at Arizona. "They've been always able to bounce back in these certain situations, and so we fully expect as a staff and as a team and our players to have a great week of preparation. We know what's at stake, but we're going to stick to the process and do what we have to do Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday in order to give ourselves a chance to redeem ourselves, get this taste out of our mouth and take a stranglehold on the division."
If that sounds familiar, it should.
On Nov. 14, the Colts headed to Tennessee facing a very similar scenario coming off a 38-8 loss against the St. Louis Rams. After falling behind 17-3 in the second quarter, Indianapolis rallied for a 30-27 victory and pushed its lead in the division to three games.
The Titans' playoff chances seemingly were on life support after that loss. But a win in the final seconds Sunday against the Oakland Raiders — and assorted jostling throughout the conference — put Tennessee on top of a list of six AFC teams with identical 5-6 records.
Now the Titans can get right back into the race for a division title and a home playoff game with a win on Sunday.
"A division game, no matter, Tennessee is always important," Colts cornerback Vontae Davis said. "That's personal. We know Tennessee is going to come in here ready to play, and we're going to have our hands full with another good game."
Two blowout losses in the past three games have the fan base on edge as the final month of the season nears.
But Indianapolis understands it still controls its own destiny. The loss to the Cardinals cost the team its standing as the No. 2 seed in the AFC, and it now trails the New England Patriots by one game in the race for a first-round bye.
But pursuits as noble as division championships and home playoff dates can seem awfully distant when the defense can't seem to get off the field and the offense can't stay on it.
The Colts forced Arizona to punt just twice in Sunday's loss, and the offense compiled just 15 first downs while converting 5 of 13 third-down opportunities.
The only phase of the game that came out relatively unscathed was special teams, where Sergio Brown continued a quietly spectacular season by blocking a first-quarter field goal attempt.
But Indianapolis trusts its leadership and appears willing to stay the course. A long, cold November has not led to panic in the locker room.
"We're a family," inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman said. "All you got to do is look to the locker next to you and know who you're playing for out here and just know that we're going to pull it together. We'll be alright."

Police say they now know who has been making 'Purge' posters, and will be confronting them soon.
The City of Albany is about to re-open a sports complex that underwent a $3 million renovation.
The Gordon Softball Complex is set to open next month after work to improve the fields and add lighting, parking lots, and a playground.
The city hopes the improvements will promote health and fitness and make Albany more marketable to host softball tournaments.
"It's been under renovation for more than a year and we are hoping to have it open in about two weeks, not necessarily for softball but the park itself, the walking trails, basketball courts and playground," said Suzanne Davis, Parks & Recreation Director.
The city still has to install the turf.
A few minor construction issues with the contractor have held up the opening.
