"Serious" Suspect In Annie Le Case
by Paul Bass | September 14, 2009 5:28 PM | Permalink | Comments (42)
Police are zeroing in on a lab tech as a possible suspect in the murder of graduate student Annie Le, according to two people familiar with the probe.
Contrary to national media reports, the suspect is not a student. The suspect is not in custody.
Le, who's 24, went missing on Tuesday. On Sunday, state cops found a body inside a wall at the Yale medical school lab building where she was last seen, at 10 Amistad St. The state medical examiner Monday afternoon positively identified the body as Annie Le, and ruled her death a homicide.
Police officials definitively denied Monday afternoon that they've centered suspicion on a Yale student in the probe — or that any student is "involved" in the case.
However, a source familiar with the investigation said the probe has zeroed in on a single "serious" suspect.
Another law enforcement source familiar with the probe identified the suspect as a lab technician who works with animal testing at Yale. That technician's campus phone number was disconnected Monday afternoon and he couldn't be reached for comment. The technician allegedly had an unrequited romantic interest in Annie Le, according to that source. That suggestion couldn't be independently verified Monday afternoon. [Update: Police Chief James Lewis and others definitively ruled out that potential motive. The rumor never gained any credibility.]
The New Haven Register's Bill Kaempffer reported that the suspect failed a polygraph test, and requested a lawyer.
Annie Le Probe "Won't Destroy Reputations"
As of Monday afternoon, police had no suspects in custody in the investigation of graduate student Annie Le's grisly death, Chief James Lewis said.
He told the Independent that his cops have been busy interviewing "and reinterviewing" "lots of people." The department will not reveal the names of interviewees or "persons of interest," according to Lewis.
"We don't want to destroy people's reputations," Lewis said.
The last time a Yale student death attracted a national media frenzy — the 1998 murder of undergraduate Suzanne Jovin — cops publicly floated the name of a professor as a "person of interest." He was never tied to the murder. He said his career suffered greatly as a result of the exposure.
State cops Sunday discovered human remains believed to be those of Annie Le, a third-year doctoral pharmacological student at the medical school, inside a basement wall at a medical school building on Amistad Street. The New Haven police took over the investigation of the case at that point from the FBI and Yale police.
About 30 cops are now working on the case, Lewis said Monday afternoon. About half are New Haven cops; the rest work for Yale's force and the FBI.
Assistant Chief Peter Reichard and Lt. Lisa Dadio, head of the investigative services unit, are overseeing the investigation.
Chief Lewis said he expects it'll take 48 hours for much of the important evidence to come back from testing labs. Police expected preliminary results Monday afternoon from the chief medical examiner's autopsy.
Lewis was asked why it took much of the week to locate Le's apparent body.
"If people are familiar with the way this building is laid out, I don't think they'd be surprised," Lewis said. "People were in the building for a solid four days testing it."
He was also asked why Yale waited until now to shut down the medical lab building at 10 Amistad St. where Le was last seen and where her apparent remains were found. He pointed out that that the case wasn't officially a homicide investigation until Sunday. "For the first couple of days it was a missing person" case, he noted. "We have missing persons all over the country all the time. You can't shut down a building for that."

Paul, I admire your restraint in not naming the Yale professor whose reputation was damaged in the Jovin case, even though his identity is widely known. Good call. BTW, his reputation seems to have rebounded -- it only took 11 years!
Posted by: Anna | September 14, 2009 7:50 PM
This rings true - I thought right from the beginning that it was probably a lab tech or one of the people who care for the lab animals. Someone that she would have known, not necessarily very well, but at a friendly level, someone who would know she was going to be there; someone she probably didn't fear and probably not someone whose professional ambition was the center of his life (e.g., a grad student, professor, or post-doc). It would have to be someone comfortable in the building, who could commit the crime on the spur of the moment as an opportunity arose, but who had some sort of plan.
It's safe to assume that the killer is a man (based on statistics alone), so that would rule out most of the clerical workers. Most people don't see enough of the building's cleaning/maintenance staff/building contractors to get to know them well enough to share details like an impending marriage, but most grad students do get to know the techs quite well.

If you know the suspects phone number then you know his name. What is a lab tech in the basement? Did the fire alarm activate from a hood in the basement?
Posted by: cedarhillresident | September 14, 2009 9:08 PM
They can't say anything till all their duck are in a row! They need the case to be iron clad! Media need to step back and respect like paul and staff. We all want who ever did it to never get out. And I am sure many that work there know who did it at this point but let the law do what they need to. My guess we will all know tomorrow.
Posted by: RCE | September 14, 2009 9:24 PM
Let's suppose the bloody clothes belonged to the lab technician/suspect. Wouldn't cameras have seen this suspect wearing the (pre-bloodied) clothes when he entered the building, and then leaving in a different set of clothes?
Posted by: Jeff | September 14, 2009 9:43 PM
Kind of ironic for you to write about how the police have learned their lesson about not identifying those they interview, yet you go and do the very thing? Now what... the local TV crews stake this guy out and put microphones in his face? Sound familiar. Yes, of course I hope the police have found their man, but I'd still seek out and fire the so-called police source for his sad display of loose lips.
Posted by: James C. | September 14, 2009 10:03 PM
Without having any information about the killer (or suspected lab tech's), one can see this is an obvious crime of passion committed in the heat of the moment by a killer the victim knew. If you are planning to kill the victim in this case for whatever reason, or if your a random predator, you would not choose to commit this murder in a secured lab with 75 CCTV camera's, in the middle of a weekday with a building full of people working at the time.
Annie L. could have known the killer quite well, or just in passing. She may or may not have known the killer was obsessed with her in either case. The killers preception of what kind of relationship he (she) had with the victim is probably totally ascue of what the reality was.
It would appear Annie L. attracted the attentions of the wrong person. When the dust settles will we see that this monster has a past to go with his present? Such that Yale U failed to properly screen its lab employees?

There are stories everyday about the taking of people's lives but this story really got me. It certainly strikes home that it occurred in the Have' but more, I'm touched by the prominent moment in this young woman's life. Her career in pharmacology was just beginning and who knows what good her talent may have done in an era when medical research continues to probe the boundaries of human capacity for longevity and health. Her personal life was about to be opened up and shared with another in a lifetime bond... taken as a whole, her story speaks poignantly of beginning and I'm so sorry to see that ended. This is very sad.

What a sad story.
Everyone needs to keep Annie Le in their thoughts and prayers.

'Just wanted to thank you for this excellent report. Much more informative than any other on the internet. It would be great to see you scoop the big guys, but more than anything, commendable to give us some insight into how someone could commit this terrible crime.

To Cedarhillresident
You don't want him to ever get out? Is that all this presious life is worth to you? Is that justice for her? Whoever this scum is should get what he gave her and nothing less! Yes I know this should be a time to remember Miss Annie but we should also never forget what true justice demands. He took her life..and he should forfit his! Some say "the death pently does not work... it does not stop this type of crime". They miss the point. Although we all would hope that pentlies would detour crime the simple fact is they don't! DUI'S, shoplifting, etc,etc continue. Therefore puishment must fit the crime if true justice is to prevail! To support, in our 'country club' type prisons, a scum that would comitt this kind of crime is not close to justice for this sweet presious soul! ...

We don't know who this lab tech is or what type of education he had. Let me ask Anna, who appears to think that the educated, professionals or those with lofty goals in life could not commit this kind of crime.
Ever hear of the" Craiglist's Killer"? Or the University of Alabama-Huntsville physics professor Andrew Pakhomov who killed his wife and dumped her body in the Tennessee River. Or the economist and University of Penn. professor Raphael Robb who mudered his wife? How about Professor George Zinkhan from the University of Georgia who killed his wife and two others this year?
Murders come from all walks of life Anna!

This has touched me more than I expected. I like to think of myself as a tough woman who is aware of her surroundings. I've been in New Haven for years now and have never felt any less safe than anywhere else. I feel for Annie, her family, her fiance and the entire Yale and New Haven community. Even more, I feel for women in general right now.
For me, more than the Jovin case, this brings up the Temple Grill case (just months ago) and all the many cases of violence against women that I've been hearing recently (and my whole life). Something needs to be done.
How many women out there no longer (or never) feel safe walking the streets at night? How many don't feel safe being alone in the day? Incidents like these don't just frighten us and sadden us, they rob us of the basic freedom to be outdoors and alone.
I'm sorry to take up so much space, but I want to share this with all my brothers and sisters out there who feel me on this . . . and those who don't. Let us take something from this tragedy and use it to better our community and our world.
"Poem about My Rights"
Even tonight and I need to take a walk and clear
my head about this poem about why I can't
go out without changing my clothes my shoes
my body posture my gender identity my age
my status as a woman alone in the evening/
alone on the streets/alone not being the point/
the point being that I can't do what I want
to do with my own body because I am the wrong
sex the wrong age the wrong skin and
suppose it was not here in the city but down on the beach/
or far into the woods and I wanted to go
there by myself thinking about God/or thinking
about children or thinking about the world/all of it
disclosed by the stars and the silence:
I could not go and I could not think and I could not
stay there
as I need to be
alone because I can't do what I want to do with my own
body and
who in the hell set things up
like this
and in France they say if the guy penetrates
but does not ejaculate then he did not rape me
and if after stabbing him after screams if
after begging the bastard and if even after smashing
a hammer to his head if even after that if he
and his buddies fuck me after that
then I consented and there was
no rape because finally you understand finally
they fucked me over because I was wrong I was
wrong again to be me being me where I was/wrong
to be who I am
which is exactly like South Africa
penetrating into Namibia penetrating into
Angola and does that mean I mean how do you know if
Pretoria ejaculates what will the evidence look like the
proof of the monster jackboot ejaculation on Blackland
and if
after Namibia and if after Angola and if after Zimbabwe
and if after all of my kinsmen and women resist even to
self-immolation of the villages and if after that
we lose nevertheless what will the big boys say will they
claim my consent:
Do You Follow Me: We are the wrong people of
the wrong skin on the wrong continent and what
in the hell is everybody being reasonable about
and according to the Times this week
back in 1966 the C.I.A. decided that they had this problem
and the problem was a man named Nkrumah so they
killed him and before that it was Patrice Lumumba
and before that it was my father on the campus
of my Ivy League school and my father afraid
to walk into the cafeteria because he said he
was wrong the wrong age the wrong skin the wrong
gender identity and he was paying my tuition and
before that
it was my father saying I was wrong saying that
I should have been a boy because he wanted one/a
boy and that I should have been lighter skinned and
that I should have had straighter hair and that
I should not be so boy crazy but instead I should
just be one/a boy and before that
it was my mother pleading plastic surgery for
my nose and braces for my teeth and telling me
to let the books loose to let them loose in other
I am very familiar with the problems of the C.I.A.
and the problems of South Africa and the problems
of Exxon Corporation and the problems of white
America in general and the problems of the teachers
and the preachers and the F.B.I. and the social
workers and my particular Mom and Dad/I am very
familiar with the problems because the problems
turn out to be
I am the history of rape
I am the history of the rejection of who I am
I am the history of the terrorized incarceration of
my self
I am the history of battery assault and limitless
armies against whatever I want to do with my mind
and my body and my soul and
whether it's about walking out at night
or whether it's about the love that I feel or
whether it's about the sanctity of my vagina or
the sanctity of my national boundaries
or the sanctity of my leaders or the sanctity
of each and every desire
that I know from my personal and idiosyncratic
and disputably single and singular heart
I have been raped
cause I have been wrong the wrong sex the wrong age
the wrong skin the wrong nose the wrong hair the
wrong need the wrong dream the wrong geographic
the wrong sartorial I
I have been the meaning of rape
I have been the problem everyone seeks to
eliminate by forced
penetration with or without the evidence of slime and/
but let this be unmistakable this poem
is not consent I do not consent
to my mother to my father to the teachers to
the F.B.I. to South Africa to Bedford-Stuy
to Park Avenue to American Airlines to the hardon
idlers on the corners to the sneaky creeps in
I am not wrong: Wrong is not my name
My name is my own my own my own
and I can't tell you who the hell set things up like this
but I can tell you that from now on my resistance
my simple and daily and nightly self-determination
may very well cost you your life

Sounds like the NHPD is doing their job carefully and thoroughly. Let's hope this sticks.
Mike C. In my opinion the death penalty is a lesser sentence than life in prison. It is an end to suffering (assuming he is actually put to death, which is extremely rare in CT). Prisons for murderers are not country clubs.

Great work here, Paul. Good to know that on the biggest stories we can count on local journalism (and online-only, at that) for the best stuff.

Who knew that there were so many amateur forensic pathologists and experts on criminal psychology in this town? You all need to turn off CSI and close the crime novel... too many of you sound like you're enjoying this too much by playing armchair David Caruso.

You say the punishement must fit the crime.So when a innocent person is on death row and found no to have commit the crime,and you was one of the jurys who convict this innocent person,Should you then not be put on death row. We must be careful in using the death penalty,Becuse we are starting to find a lot of people with the use of DNA who did not commit the crime.
Posted by: Joe | September 15, 2009 10:36 AM
It makes sense if indeed the person responsible is an animal tech - animals kept for vivisection are always found in basements and places out of sight to keep hidden their maiming and ultimate death.
Posted by: Mike C | September 15, 2009 10:49 AM
Bruce....I'm sure your right knowing your states view of on penalties. Have you been near a prison? I have a cousin and brother in 2 different prisons. I visit when I can and I can asure you they are all buffed up from weightlifting, got their own TV's, have sex with their wives and don't have to worry about food or a place to sleep. Maybe my use of the word country club was a bit extreme but so is your view that they suffer in prison. In a state like yours you can be sure they will get out in time! And to threefifth...I don't want to hear this BS about all the folk on death row wrongly convicted. In the cases u sight they were let free so the system worked. But to one who did the crime as in this case, justic bemands no less than what he gave her

Someone murdered Annie Le in New Haven, but the case doesn't tell us much about personal safety in the city in general. This is shaping up to be the kind of case that could have happened anywhere. If the killer in fact worked in the building, we'll learn soon enough whether he gave any warning signs. In any event, this murder is very different than the crimes that cause us to question the safety of our city: street crime, muggings, rapes, burglaries, gang warfare, drive-by shootings. The Le murder is very scary indeed, but it doesn't make me feel any more or less safe when I walk or drive through various parts of town.

Three squares and free healthcare is not what people who intentionally take a life should get. Why do taxpayers have to fund this? Why should first degree murderers and rapists receive food, shelter, free education, free healthcare, free counseling, and the opportunity to work, see loved ones, write, read, complain, etc...
If not a swift and PAINFUL death penalty, then these sick perps should all be sent to a deserted island in the middle of the ocean with nothing but the rags on their backs. Let them suffer, starve, kill each other. Who cares. RIP Annie.

Sara....true to say this could have been a professional as well, but lets get to the FACTS...the SUSPECT failed a lie detector test and had defensive wounds which indicated the TECH was involved in some kind of struggle. First and foremost...Naming him as a suspect in this case tells you there is EVIDENCE! that he is tied to the murder of Anne. Don't deny the facts!!.....There you go Sherlock Holmes!!!

I work in a Yale lab and I doubt I could pass a polygraph test.
Just because the lab tech in the pathology lab failed the polygraph doesn't mean he's guilty.
I've heard that if a crime is committed and if you've ever even "thought" about committing such a crime in the past, you will probably fail the polygraph test.
In my Yale lab where I work with loads of smart-ass know-it-all grad students, I've often thought about strangling them.
They're cultivated by their faculty-advisors to be arrogant, rude and elitist.
I have a Bachelor's degree with decades of experience in the private, government and academic sectors and yet my faculty supervisors expect me to receive and gracefully accept unlimited amounts of feces off grad students simply for the fact they're working on a holy PhD.
I can't count the number of times during my near ten years employment with Yale that I've felt like slapping the face of some self-righteous grad student with a superiority complex.
I wonder if it's the way it's always been or if this arrogant elitism is a recent phenomenon designed to cover up the blatant mediocrity of the Yale Mediocrity Mill.
If some grad student working in my lab was discovered dead, I'm sure the cops would come straight to me.
I'd refuse the polygraph even if I didn't do it.
But I'd probably be guilty.

Paul Bass is indeed Connecticut's finest journalist for my money. But to pick a nit, Paul, you misread Kaempfer's story in the Register. There's nothing in that story that indicates the suspect had a lawyer with him at any point during police questioning. He apparently stopped responding to questions and requested the presence of a lawyer, as is his right under the Fifth Amendment. Once the suspect (or anyone) invokes their right to have an attorney present, questioning must stop. That's apparently what happened here. There's nothing to indicate that questioning resumed with an attorney present.
Other than that, keep up the great work!
[Editor's note: Thanks! I'll fix.]

AT YALE MANY TECHNICIANS HATE GRAD STUDENTS & POSTDOCs and the feeling is mutual.
I am a former Yale Postdoc and my perception of the situation is totally opposite of Neil's.During my tenure - there was a constant bullying and harassment of Postdocs and Grad students by techs. This severe conflict was and is always ignored by senior faculty. Technicians at Yale are underpaid, frustrated and many are affected by serious inferiority complex. This is quite understandable under the circumstances. There are likely some arrogant Postdocs but most of them are there to simply finish their fellowship and move on and go high up. Lab Techs remains Lab techs - for ever. Post grad student can unfortunately tell the Techs - well, we work in the same lab - but I WILL BE A DOCTOR, you will not. Painful but true.

Patrick Swayze passed away Monday night after they found the body of Annie Le. All the sudden I feel the connection btw the Ghost movie and Annie's story. She is gone forever, but her spirit is still with us. Hope as her soul floating out there, she would bring hope and love to her first and foremost fiancee, her family and friends just like the way Sam had for Demi (sorry I don't remmember her name in the movie) in ghost. I believe deep in Annie's heart, she still wants to see the wedding happen, still wants to spend the honeymoon with her lover and still wants to chase after her dream to become a scientist who can help others.
RIP Annie

I highly encourage women of all ages to take action for themselves: protect yourself by strengthening your body, learn self defense if possible, even have a weapon handy in your home in the event of an intruder! It's important to be proactive, aware of your surroundings at all times, especially in unfamiliar places, dark environments, etc. Know whom you can count on in life. Men often have fragile egos - when challenged, some are prone to committing crimes to unsuspecting women.
Posted by: Bob | September 15, 2009 9:36 PM
Neil, Do you also have fresh scrathes on your chest and were present at the scene and time of the crime? If so, you are a prime suspect as well.
Posted by: Citytrucker | September 15, 2009 11:14 PM
Neil, your complaint sounds like the self-pitying whining of someone who thinks he's working below the level of his ability, but you're not. A BS or BA in Biology qualifies you to be a Lab Tech, not a scientist. Maybe someone with a High School diploma could be trained to do your job just as well, or maybe not. But if you want to do ineteresting work in science you neeed a PHD and or an MD. Resenting the people who are pursuing those credentials will only make your life more miserable than it is already. Quit the lab, get a construction job. You can still bemoan life's inequities, but at least you'll be working outside, getting some exercise, drinking beer, and whistling at the pretty women who pass by instead of fantasizing about murdering them.

Posted by: Colleen | September 17, 2009 12:43 PM
Give Neil a break. At least he is being honest about what is going on in his workplace. How many of you have ever been treated poorly by a co-worker and complained to a friend about it? Most people everyday I would think. We can get treated poorly driving our cars, in the grocery store, returning merchandise at a store, waiting in line at an amusement park, etc etc etc. There are rude people everywhere and we ALL complain about them. It is human nature to talk about the rude or obnoxious things someone else did or said. There has been a lot of hate in the news lately. Aren't you all talking about it?
Posted by: Neil | September 17, 2009 4:24 PM
I reported Neil.
The cops say that if he says he's going to kill, it's a threat and they can arrest him for the felony.
But if he says he 'thinks' about killing, it's not illegal.
You can think it but you just can't say you're going to do it.
I think the YaleElitist's comment, "but I WILL BE A DOCTOR, you will not" provides an excellent example of the pitiful shallow and mediocritizing attitudes of so many unworthy grad students and post-docs.
Yale, like other universities, is first and foremost an unaccountable propaganda machine. It produces propaganda to fool people into thinking they actually make some significant contribution to society. Post-docs and grad students are mostly incorrigible cocksuckers jumping through the hoops set up by their overpaid, underachieving slave-whore faculty advisors. Yale is a wretched, contemptible and disgraceful academic brothel whose motto should be changed from 'Lux et Veritas' meaning 'Light and Truth' to something more accurate like 'Darkness and Lies.'
Yale will forever be shamefully wicked until it summons the courage to demand an independent, fully funded and fully empowered 9/11 investigation.
Posted by: concerned | September 17, 2009 5:30 PM
We all have crap to deal with at work. You are right we ALL have been treated poorly by someone at some point in our lives. The disturbing part of his post is the fact that he stated that he would probably be guilty of murdering someone.
It is never ok to take someone's life, even if they are mean to us, they make us mad, they reject us, or even if they are different from us.
We are talking about this because it is so hard for us to believe that someone could just take it upon themself to end a life. It is even more difficult to understand when it is someone young, with their whole life ahead of them. As for Neil's post it is disturbing that he condones or defends this murderer.
Neil, if the Grad Students make you feel that way, you should consider a new line of work and not murder! Also, you should understand that those people worked long and hard for their PhD, and if they make you feel so inferior you should consider going back to school! Or, getting another field of work where you are surrounded by people with the same level of education as you.

I heard that two of Clark's family plus his girl friend all work in the same lab as him. Is this normal? Did he get the job due to family connections? Maybe that led to his treating the lab like his own fiefdom and acted in an officious way as some had described him as doing. Was he really qualified to work there with just a high school diploma? The University should really look into these issues. An unqualified person is even more likely to have an inferiority complex in the midst of such intellectual fire power. I would not doubt that jealousy and hatred is rife is many work places, just ask me. But strangling a 90 pound, 4 ft 11 inches female to death? There should be now an immediate review of all lab employees and a grievance panel set up to deal with potential conflict situations at Yale and other research facilities. The ideal people to work alongside those wiz kids would be kindly and middle-aged folks. I have a distant uncle in Hong Kong who treated all the students like his own children, seeing them off at airports when they got a chance to study abroad etc. Just a pipe dream that would fail all equal opportunities board policies. Maybe young people with such problems should not apply for such jobs. Neil, are you listening?

More co-owners
3:27pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Rural Focus By Anne Perks
ARLA Foods amba (AFa), the parent of Arla Foods, the UK dairy company with a turnover in excess of £2billion, has almost doubled the number of farmer owners in the UK.
On January 1 an additional 1,300 farmers across the country became co-owners of the world's sixth largest dairy company, giving them access to international dairy markets.
Europe's largest and most progressive dairy co-operative is now owned by a global network of 13,500 farmers, of which 2,800 are British.
Jonathan Ovens, chairman of the new farmer owner group and British farmer director at AFa , said: "This is a momentous achievement.
"We have been working for ten years to become full members of the Arla cooperative.
"Arla is committed to delivering a sustainable future for its farmers and, through our ownership, we will receive the leading UK milk price."
The co-operative has a major global investment programme, including £500 million in the UK in the last five years, with £150 million in a new state-of-the-art dairy in Aylesbury.
Johnnie Russell, another British farmer director of AFa, said: "With quota abolition next year, which is likely to result in a huge upsurge in European milk production, it is essential that British farmers are able to benefit from returns from world markets.
"Arla is the only UK business with a strategy in place whereby farmers can tap into a broader marketplace for dairy products."
Ash Amirahmadi, head of milk and member services at Arla Foods, said: "Arla sells its products in more than 100 countries worldwide.
"Our farmer owners in the UK now have access to them.
We are seeing demand growing in developing markets such as Asia and other regions.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to turn British milk into an impressive array of products for home and overseas consumption."
On December 17, Arla traded Westbury skimmed milk powder on the Global Dairy Trade auction (GDT), making it the first company to trade British dairy products on the GDT. In December alone the price of skimmed milk powder rose by 1.7 per cent to £2,870 per metric tonne.

International glass artists showcase work at Wordsley cone
Updated 4:09pm Monday 31st March 2014 in News
INTERNATIONAL glass artists are showcasing their work with an exhibition at the Red House Glass Cone in Wordsley through this spring.
'Great Expectations' features sculptured glass work by artists from the USA and Canada along with home grown talent.
The exhibition includes work by American artist Sharon McJannet, Michelle Lewin from Canada and Charlotte Hughes-Martin, a glassblower and freelance engraver based at the cone.
Cllr Tracy Wood, Dudley's cabinet member for environment and culture, said: "This is a strikingly beautiful exhibition.
"It's remarkable how the artists have all taken the same raw material and come up with pieces which are so different, light and poetic, solid and wry."
The Great Expectations exhibition runs until May 18 at the cone which is open Monday to Sunday from 10am to 4pm and which is free to visit.

I'm going to really try to stay as positive as possible while our Green and Gold guys battle through this funk they are in right now. I think this team still has a chance to contend this season with the personnel at-hand and obviously, with memories of Braden's Mother's Day Masterpiece still fresh in my head, there is still some nice, positive stories to fall back-on so far...
But as I look into the near future, there are two very irksome issues that are dashing my hopes for this organization. They aren't anything new to any of us, but I thought I'd throw out some of my latest thoughts regarding them to make myself feel better.
First off...
1) The Injuries: It sucks to (probably) lose Duke for another year. It sucks to be without Ellis for several weeks. Buck probably missed out on his last opportunity to be a productive member of the organization with his latest setback and that sucks. I'm sure we all really wish Joey Devine was setting-up or closing games out instead of handing innings to DFA-train...yes, all those things suck, but they certainly weren't totally unexpected. All of the four above guys are currently unavailable for basically lingering or reoccurring injuries and as they always say, the best predictor of future injury is...
You get the point. So I'm not really all that concerned/irritated/upset about those guys going on the DL. I'm not even all that upset about Wuertz, Suzuki or B Anderson and their woes or Coco. Those injuries seem like wear-and-tear issues that probably could have been better managed by the A's training staff, but aren't too debilitating for this organization long-term.
So, even after all that, I haven't been that doom and gloom about this team's health report. However, this morning I read something that sent me over the edge. If you don't subscribe to the oaklandclubhouse site on the Scout.com website, I apoligize that you won't be able to read the whole article below:
Updates From Oakland A's Extended Spring
The gist of the story is thus:
- James Simmons is out and has been out for months now with "shoulder pain" that has yet to be properly diagnosed or identified by any physician.
- Dusty Coleman (overslot guy from 2008 draft) that played a pretty good shortstop and was an intriguing up-the-middle-bat, had a wrist-surgery that supposedly "hasn't heeled correctly" and will probably need another surgery to correct it...so he'll probably miss another season and will likely never hit for much power ever again.
- Michael Ynoa has experienced a myriad of small health issues (the latest being a back strain) that have kept him off the mound for a long while and have prevented him from debuting in a regular season professional game.
- REgarding Sean Doolittle, here is what Keith Lieppman says in the article:
"He is another player that is frustrated and we continue to struggle with figuring out exactly the issue is," said Lieppman
- THen there's Chad Lee, Chris Mederos, Jemile Weeks...all pretty talented recent draftees that have one issue or another keeping them off the playing field at the moment, not to mention guys like Andrew Carignan or FDLS who have been "rehabbing" for over a year now and haven't progressed much.
Seriously...the health issues facing this organization are ridiculous. I think I'm most mad about the Simmons and Doolittle situations. Regardless of their current prospect stature(s) (and once upon a time both players showed the potential to be big-league contributors) the fact that the organization is "still trying to figure out" what's wrong with both guys months/nearly a year after their original injuries is just incomprehensible. Couple that with the (probably) botched surgery on Coleman and the recent botched surgery of Braden...I mean, c'mon!
I don't know what to think about the health issues anymore. I mean, a lot was made a few seasons ago about this organization reorganizing and re-prioritizing health and training organization-wide...it's just not working...in fact, it's pretty clearly failing. This
team organization is doomed unless it can really find a way to deal with health issues in a much more manageable way...in fact, I think this organization really needs to make this a MAJOR priority from now on, and not just rearrange staff members and buy new exercise equipment. They need to approach managing medical issues like an undervalued commodity...find the best/most enlightened medical minds out there, aggressively seek them out and bring them into the organization and/or try out some radical training/treatment methods. This current situation is untenable.
2) Inability to Produce Offensive Talent: Seriously. I've written about this before numerous times, but I believe that A TON of this organization's future lies on the wide backs of Chris Carter and Michael Taylor. These guys need to become star-level offensive contributors fairly soon, or else this team will continue to get out-hit by most of the AL or this latest window of opportunity will close without a real chance at the playoffs.
There just isn't anyone beyond Taylor or Carter in the minors who legitimately profiles as a difference-maker and the current MLB squad is showing that it's clearly not able to score runs consistently or hit for any power. There's a slim chance that Beane could trade-off someone like Gio or Mazzaro or even Ross or CAhill for some type of offensive talent, but with this teams' injury issues, I don't think Beane would make a move that would impact the depth chart that adversely.
I might be overreacting a bit here to both of these issues, but, honestly not by much. I'm not worried about this organization's ability to consistently field a competent pitching staff. While the team still plays in the Coliseum, I'm fairly certain that Beane could put together 12 decent pitchers every year by simply trolling the waiver wire...however, his recent inability to put together a decent lineup year after year is truly mystifying...and troubling.
- It could be argued that Barton, Suzuki and Pennington have shown some semblance of offensive talent and they came up through the system recent; (for the most part). But even in best-case scenarios, these guys will likely top-out as good everyday players but not star-level contributors that can carry an offense.
- There's just no way that Beane will ever be able to lure premiere free agent hitters to Oakland...and without a really deep farm system, he won't be able to trade for marquee hitters either. This is why it's critical that he finds a way to develop one or two of these types of hitters ASAP.
- Beane's off-season and spot-managing attempts to really strengthen the fringes of the 40-man roster were somewhat prescient and a step in the right direction in terms of managing the crushing effect of the injury maelstrom...however, these efforts are just a band-aid on a massive hemorrhage. This team is not going to win a playoff spot this year or in at any time in the future if it has to really on major contributions from guys like Eric Patterson, Jake Fox or Adam Rosales.
So tell me AN, am I overreacting? Or am I justified in having such scary thoughts?

Are veterans getting the care they deserve at the Cleveland VA? If a Carl Monday investigation is any indication, in many cases, the answer is "no."
With two million visits a year, there are bound to be complaints...from long wait times to allegations of malpractice and neglect. But none more troubling than the case of 57-year old Laverne "Butch" Daniel.
"Do you think your husband would still be alive today if not for the VA," Monday asked Leverne's widow, Mary. "Yes, yes I do," she replied without hesitation. "WITHOUT a doubt."
In a lawsuit, Mary claims the VA failed to properly diagnose and treat her husband, and says delays in treatment caused an infection that cost him his leg, and eventually his life. Laverne survived a liver transplant. But the coroner says it was a condition known as Sepsis, a life threatening complication of an infection, that caused his death.
"They're the reason my husband is dead," said Mary fighting back the tears. "57 years old and he's gone. He didn't get to see his baby girl graduate from college. He didn't even know he has grand children."
The Cleveland VA won't comment on specific cases, but says its constantly working to improve patient care, and reducing wait times for everything from doctor visits to disability claims.
Nationally, a recent scandal rocked the VA, when it was learned that waiting times were longer than reported, and that higher ups at some facilities may have tried to cover it up.
Earlier this month, the Cleveland VA became one of 112 VA Medical Centers flagged for further review.
Investigators may want to talk to local veteran, Charles Szerszen, who was a gunner on the battleship Wisconsin. Szerszen's biggest battle may have been a couple of years ago when he tried to get a hip operation at the Cleveland VA. He was told it would take a year and a half. In severe pain, Szerszen fought to reduce the delay to six months.
"It's appalling," says his son Randy. "My dad loves this country. My dad fought for the rights of people. He makes a big ruckus and says he needs help. And he still has to go through this kind of wait. It's ridiculous."
System-wide, nearly 60-thousand vets have waited more than 90 days for an appointment. The VA says it's overhauling it's scheduling procedures. But according to Iraq vet, Matt Shelton, who suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, it's the attitude of some VA staffers that needs an overhaul.
"I'm waiting there for hours at some points. You're just sitting there and you go to the clerk and they tell you basically, shut up and sit down. They're like, I'll get to you when I get to you," says Shelton.
Monday tried to interview Cleveland VA Director Susan Fuehrer. But a VA spokesperson said the VA "politely declines." The VA, instead, issued a prepared statement, saying the Cleveland VA "is here to care for veterans and provide the high quality care and benefits they earned and deserved."
That quality of care that Mary Daniel says----her late husband was denied. "He put his life in their hands. And they took it. They took my husband's life."

Our readers are the real judges of our work every day, but it's nice to hear kind words from our peers, too.
At last weekend's Texas Associated Press Managing Editors' annual convention, the Victoria Advocate received eight first-place awards, six second-places and three honorable mentions. We compete in a huge circulation category in a big state, so this recognition is particularly gratifying for the staff.
Please indulge me as I share a few of the judges' comments (which you may view by clicking here) about the staff's efforts:
-- Our first place in team page design was judged by a Chicago Tribune editor. He said:
"Of all the entries for team pages, this showed the most teamwork. It's clear that artists, designers, editors and reporters had to work together to pull all the elements together--and to pull off the vision for the artistic look. Maybe it could've been packaged better than having two jumps, but the bold idea and execution warrant the top prize."
-- Our first place for community service was judged by the editor of the Roanoke (Va.) Times. She said:
"As the Victoria Advocate itself noted, this was a decision that could 'change the face of Victoria.' At issue was the expansion of the University of Houston-Victoria from a two- to four-year institution. The newspaper, in simple and passionate language, championed this cause in its editorials. In the best tradition of community service, it provided that drumbeat of coverage that kept the issue out front for the public -- and decision-makers -- to see."
-- Our Star breaking news report of the year was judged by an Albuquerque Journal editor. He said:
"The writing is exceptional and the sidebar items and photography make for an incredible package. Considering the complete unexpected nature of the event, the staff showed great resiliency."
The tribute that resonated the most with me regarded our editorial board's first place in editorial writing. The judge focused on the newspaper's commitment to the community.
The managing editor of the Vicksburg (Miss.) Post wrote:
"Some strong writing, some clever. This paper is community-oriented, and that's so increasingly rare as to be priceless."

text: This guy will get it done. I know I've been saying this ever since his rookie year but, he's healthy and ready to claim that #2 spot from Lafell. I know he has an up hill battle with WR's like Hixon, Lafell, Ginn, Pilaras who I can say the same thing about, and yes even Edwards. Hold up I forgot about Bryant. Can I have two guys at the same position possibly have breakout years? I'm just saying if this guy gets on the field I can see him making a huge impact. I know he's on the practice squad but hey so wasn't Victor Cruz. Truth be told either one of these guys has a breakout year and I'm happy. We just need a WR to step up.

(CNN) -- Greenland's glaciers are sliding into oceans at a faster pace than previously known, but they may contribute less to an expected rise in global sea level than feared, scientists reported Thursday.
From 2000 to 2010, researchers at the University of Washington and Ohio State University monitored the vast rivers of ice that course across the world's largest island. Their results, published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Science, found that glaciers in northwestern and southeastern Greenland flowing toward the Arctic and Atlantic oceans picked up speed by about 30%, on average.
"Glaciers are continuing to accelerate, which means they are continuing to put more ice into the ocean," said University of Washington at Seattle glaciologist Twila Moon, the paper's lead author. "And as soon as that ice hits the ocean, it's contributing to sea-level rise."
But Moon said her group's data suggests that contribution will be less than existing worst-case scenarios. Read More

The purpose of search engine optimization is to increase your ranking on search engine results. If the keywords a business uses match those that potential customers use when searching online, those customers are more likely to see that business in their search results. This article will give you a good breakdown on search engine algorithms and concepts which can help you optimize your site. Avoid duplicate content. Google and other search engines penalize for duplicate content. When you write about something fresh, you should bring new people in.
Language meta tags should be used for websites written in a different language than English. Your search engine rankings will improve for searches in that language.
Use many types of keywords and even common misspellings. The larger the variety in your meta-tags the more likely it is that your website will be ranked high in a given search. Make sure you use the plurals and the misspellings of you niche's keywords. A description tag that is efficient will draw users to your website, improving your site's search engine optimization. This tag should not be more than 30 words. It is important that your description not take up more than 100 KB of data storage. Get a domain name for your site that is both memorable and relevant. These are especially helpful for people that find your content on YouTube because they are easy to say and to remember.
Websites should couple selling products with useful content. Sites that have both are more successfully ranked than those sites that just offer products for sale.
Be patient for results from SEO. Significant changes cannot happen over night. Do not be surprised if it takes several months for noticeable changes to occur if you are starting with a fairly new site. Online business is no different from offline business. Either way, it is going to take time to build your brand. Have a non-profit or education site link to you. Your site will receive more favorable treatment when search engines see that your site has received good quality links. By providing high-quality content on your site, you can entice websites with solid reputations to feature you. Create material that these companies will benefit from. Length of stay is something else that will help your page come up higher in searches. You generate return visitors to your site by ensuring the quality of your content is high.
Whatever you do, do not try to boost your website ranking by inserting random keywords that are irrelevant and have nothing to do with your site. Search engines will suppress your website and put you into a search engine black hole.
Improving SEO means paying attention to social media sites. Facebook and Twitter allow you to interact directly with customers and YouTube is a great way to show videos of your product. Even if all of your content is about the same topic, keep each title or heading interesting, attention-grabbing and unique. Titles should be pithy. Long titles are not viewed as important. The first few words of a title are always the most important. It is extremely important that your title contain carefully chosen keywords. So that everything is linked together, include the title tag on all of your site's pages. Also end your title link with your company name, which will connect all pages together. While your company name is important, it probably isn't the first thing most potential customers will search for.
You will want to put a lot of knowledge on your website but stick with your niche. If, for instance, you are blogging on a topic such as golf, include content dealing with the professional tour, course design and various types of golfing gear.
Make sure your server has been configured for case sensitivity on URLs. Having lower case letters in your URL may decrease the chance that visitors end up on your site. Make sure every piece of text and every image on your site is geared toward your niche. Continue to add content that focus on your main and long-tail keywords, as well as articles that are relevant. Insert your keywords across all aspects of your website so as to increase you SEO strategy. If you hire a third-party firm to do your SEO work, ask probing questions before you hand over any money. Find out what sort of techniques they employee, how much experience they have in your field and how long it you have to wait before you can expect to see results. Ask to see proof of their claims. An upstanding, high quality company will have no problem with this. Some believe that bringing keywords into their comment tags will increase their SEO visibility. You must focus on the content of your website. Join as many prominent organizations as you can when you are working to optimize your search engine ranking. By joining these listings, your articles will be brought up more often. In addition, if you are rated well on the website of the Better Business Bureau, you will get added credibility amongst customers. You should include Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds on your site. Consistently updated RSS feeds are recognized as fresh content. This feed can be a place where you post info about topics related to your product. You should try to encourage users to become subscribers of your RSS feed. As you write your keywords, remember to think as a consumer would. Determine the relevant terms visitors are using when they use search engines. Search engine crawlers are always scouring the web for fresh material and updated content. Whenever you update your blog or content, you are making your site more visible to search engines. Furthermore, truly good-quality content will often be passed around. Those who have shared the articles will continue to visit your site or blog for updated information and posts. As stated at the beginning, SEO is a formula based strategy that relies heavily on keywords that are popular with search engines. The search engine "keys in" on these popular words. A keyword on your website will draw visitors interested in the topic it represents. Read on for ideas on how to effectively use keywords.

Props: Fighters Only
"Cerrone should just come to fight me and stop worrying about Cole Miller. I am gonna be in the zone and I hope he is too. I think that to look past an opponent at this stage of the game is ridiculous. I have nothing else on my mind but him, this fight won't end the way he wants. I will win this fight. This will be my ninth fight in the UFC and I have earned my respect. I have been there, fought hard, and broken things along the way. I am still learning, but I am extremely confident that I will take this win. He says he doesn't know anything about me, but come February 5, he will respect me."
UFC lightweight banger Paul Kelly thinks former WEC division standout Donald Cerrone should focus on his UFC 126 fight on Feb. 5 and not his war of words with Cole Miller. "Cowboy" has been looking to exact revenge on "Magrinho" after watching his good buddy Leonard Garcia fall to the lanky lightweight back in 2007. Since Miller is coming off a loss, perhaps losing to "Tellys" will help him achieve that goal? Who do you think takes this one Maniacs?

Lifelong Saddle Brook resident Joseph Camilleri will replace Councilman Joseph Setticase as a Democratic township council candidate on this November's ballot, Democratic Municipal Chairman Omar Rodriguez announced Wednesday.
Camilleri, 52, has been an active township volunteer for more than a decade, serving as a youth sports coach in football, wrestling and baseball.
He issued a statement late Wednesday thanking Democratic Party leaders for giving him the opportunity to join the council race.
"As a life-long resident of Saddle Brook, I have fond memories of this wonderful town growing up," the statement reads. "I would love to be elected and move Saddle Brook in the right direction."
Camilleri, a unanimous selection of the County Committee, will replace the 16-year council veteran Setticase, who , saying he wanted to take a break from politics to spend more time with his family.

The story of the Lone Star College shooting keeps changing, but some work by the US Marshals Service on Friday may help get to the facts.
As part of the Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force, US Marshals captured 22-year-old Trey Foster, identified as the second suspect in Tuesday's campus shooting.
Foster, charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon, was found in Plano shortly after midnight. Deputy Alfredo Perez says Foster possessed a gun, but was arrested without incident. He was taken directly to detectives with the Harris County Sheriff's Office arriving at 6:30 a.m. Foster was then moved to the Harris County Jail at 9 a.m.
Harris County Deputies had already charged 22-year-old Carlton Berry in connection with the campus shooting, but Berry denies he was the gunman. Court records show that Berry claimed he was with Foster at the time of the shooting, and that Foster's target was a man that had bumped into him about 30 minutes before shots were fired.
Three people were wounded in the shooting. Court records identify the victims as Jody Neal, a Lone Star College student, and Bobby Cliburn, a campus maintenance worker. Carlton Berry was also shot, but he claimed, at least at one point, that he shot himself in the hip accidentally. Investigators will no doubt be asking if the bullet came from Foster's gun.
Berry became the suspect because Neal identified him as the shooter, but investigators say Neal changed his statement to implicate Foster. Berry and Foster were together at the time of the shooting, and were both dressed in red shirts, and Neal claimed he got the two men confused.
Investigators still have both Foster and Berry charged in the campus shooting. It's unknown if they plan to drop charges against Berry.

Rope: Essential Climbing Equipment
A climbing rope is the strong nylon cord used by climbers for protection and safety while climbing. Ropes, the most basic piece of safety gear used by climbers, simply attach climbers to each other and the cliff as well as keep a climber from hitting the ground after a fall. Ropes are a climber's best friend and his literal lifeline.
Dynamic Climbing Ropes
Climbing ropes have an inner core of woven fibers and an outer sheath of woven fibers. They are very elastic and dynamic, allowing for the rope to stretch and absorb much of the energy of a fall. Climbing ropes are made from 7.5mm to 11mm in diameter, with the thicker ropes the strongest and best for climbing, but also the heaviest. Thin light ropes are mostly used for alpine climbing in the high mountains were weight is paramount. Ropes under 9mm in diameter are also usually used in pairs.
Climbing Rope Lengths
Climbing ropes come in two lengths: 165 feet (50 meters) and 200 feet (60 meters). The 200-foot climbing rope is increasingly become the standard length for American climbing, as it is in Europe. Some climbers also use a 70-meter or 230-foot rope so that they can combine pitches to climb faster.
Use Only UIAA-Approved Climbing Ropes
You should only buy and climb on ropes that are specifically designed for climbing activities and are approved and certified by the UIAA (International Union of Alpine Associations)—in other words, don't go into your local Home Depot or Wal-Mart to buy a climbing rope!
Static Climbing Ropes
Besides dynamic ropes, the kind used for climbing, there are static ropes which are stout cords that do not stretch when loaded. These are not used for climbing since they do not absorb the shock of a climber's fall but instead transfer it to the climber and his gear. Static ropes are usually used for top-roping, rappelling, fixed ropes, and caving.

Kids Birthday Cake Themes and Tips from Southeast Michigan Bakeries
It's an essential part of any child's party. Local metro Detroit and Ann Arbor shops offer insights and advice on picking the right one, whether you splurge or DIY.
(page 2 of 2)
Zingerman's also makes its own fondant, says Amy Emberling, one of the bakery's directors. Because the fondant is made in-house, the bakery can create a more appealing, kid-friendly flavor, and it's only slightly pricier than all-buttercream cakes. "It tastes like Oreo filling," Emberling says.
TLC for your OOAK cake
Cakes need a little love to stay perfect for your child's party, says Monica Ingles, who runs Sorella's Homemade Baked Goods in Livonia with her sister, Bertha Ferguson – both of whom grew up on pastries and specialty cakes in their Italian family.
Make sure to have room in your car – and then in your refrigerator – for the cake. Ingles reminds parents that buttercream frosting melts in warm temperatures, so keep it chilled until party time. "It's like butter," explains Ingles. "You wouldn't serve butter for bread cold or melting; it needs to be at room temperature."
At Sorella's, incidentally, they've worked and tweaked their buttercream recipe for years until they perfected just the right mix of silky, smooth buttery taste.
Here, you'll find buttercream cakes and fondant designs, along with single-portion treats like raspberry mousse-filled chocolate chiffon cake covered in chocolate and cheesecake pops (cheesecake bits on a stick that are then dipped in chocolate or other toppings).
With younger kids, Ingles admits that Elmo is always popular. But one of her favorite cake designs was a Candy Land board game – complete with all edible parts.
Go DIY with a baking theme
For a truly one-of-a-kind birthday cake, let guests join in the fun of making the cake. With your birthday boy or girl, drop off a wooden spoon with an invitation attached. Let the guests know they'll be getting messy!
To prep: Create simple aprons for each guest by using kitchen towels and ribbons. At the shorter end of the towel, sew a 16- to 20-inch piece of ribbon (depending on the age and size of your guests) on one end, and then sew the other end of the towel for the head loop of the apron. Lengthwise, halfway down the long side of the towel, make the back ties for the apron by sewing a 16- to 20-inch piece of ribbon on either side.
Then, make two eight-inch round cakes for the party. And purchase or make large (think four- to five-inch) sugar cookies for guests to decorate. Purchase or make cake frosting. Choose other cake decorations to have on hand for guests, too, like colored sugars, sprinkles, chocolate chips or small candies.
Big hint: Leave the cleaning for after the party. Your kitchen is going to get messy. Don't even bother to sweep before the sprinkles come out.
During the party? After you've played party games and unwrapped presents, explain to guests that they will be helping make the birthday cake. Give each guest a large sugar cookie to frost while you frost the larger cake. Let the kids dive into different colored frostings and top their cookies with sprinkles and other fun decorations.
When you're done frosting the cake, let guests help you decorate. Carefully wrap up the decorated cookies to send home with guests, along with their aprons, as party favors. Take pictures of your one-of-a-kind cake and then enjoy!
You can also make decorating the apron with sequins, permanent markers or fabric paints part of the birthday fun.

Gearbox Guide - Page 1Last on July 24 2014
Fiesta/Escort FWD Gear LinkageIf you want information on how to modify a FWD linkage, to reduce play (especially if you have already fitted the B&M #45096 short shifter), check the guide.
Dismantling the Quaife BC gearboxClick here for a pictorial guide on dismantling the Quaife BC gearbox.
Using the Zetec with front and rear wheel drive gearboxesOne of the most common questions I'm asked is, "what gearbox can I fit to the Zetec engine?", and its a perfectly valid one, which I can hopefully answer below. If you're installing the Zetec in to a kitcar, or any other car, perhaps even a historic or classic car, then this guide should go some way to help you make your decision.
Ford's silver top and black top Zetec engines have been fitted to Mk1 and Mk2 Fiesta's, Quantums, Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts, Anglia's, Orions, Cortina's, Lotus Europa's, Westfields, and all manner of kit cars.
Ford (being the sensible people that they are) decided to stick to the same bellhousing pattern that they have stuck to since the 1960s. So for a rear wheel drive (RWD) application, you can use the Type-9 five speed box from the Sierra, plus an RS2000 bellhousing. One simply bolts to the other. Note: The Type 9 has a 1" 23-spline input shaft and the 2000E four speed box has a 7/8" 20-spline input shaft. The MT-75 (Granada) or T5 (Sierra Cosworth) gearboxs also fit on the Zetec.
Zetec crankshafts are already machined to accept a RWD spigot bearing, which again simplifies things somewhat.
To fit the Zetec engine on the front wheel drive (FWD) Type BC gearbox, simply replace the Mondeo Zetec 2.0 flywheel with the one from the Silver Top Escort 1.8 Zetec, and use the clutch cover and friction plate also from a Silver Top Escort 1.8 Zetec.
And the clutch?The Silver Top flywheel should be used, as the later dual mass flywheel on the Black Top Zetec's isn't suitable due to their size and weight. The flywheel will need re-drilling to accept a Pinto clutch. Keep the Mondeo Zetec clutch cover. Use a sierra 1.8 CVH friction plate. Fit a ford spigot bearing, change the clutch release bearing to a capri part CT133 Quinton Hazel (available from most motor factors). A new spigot bearing costs approx £10 from Ford. For FWD applications, you should use an AP Racing 220mm clutch and clutch cover.
You can get away with using a standard Zetec FWD clutch for RWD applications but, as the fulcrum point for the clutch release arm is in a different place on FWD cars, you'll find that in a RWD vehicle the clutch pedal will only have half its normal travel.

mich i clean out my wallet every 3 days, but i always managed to find it bulging with full of post it stickers, notes and receipts
same here viv. i even got my housekeys in there. i try to spring clean my wallet every now and then. always end up finding tons of receipts and expired vouchers.
mich i clean out my wallet every 3 days, but i always managed to find it bulging with full of post it stickers, notes and receipts
tom ford's no longer in the house so gucci's out
into LV now
I'm into LV, timeless and lasting as what the others said. =)
Though I'm only 21, I don't find LV looks old on me
any idea which collection is this baggie from? thanks!
I love both Gucci & LV.
However if given a choice, I guess I will invest in LV because it is classic & LV never have sales. Hence, you won't feel so 'heart pain' if you find the Gucci items you bought being slashed 50% or more in Gucci sales.
I have more gucci stuff compared to LV but LV is more durable than gucci and I love both!!
I LOVE LV, classic and timeless i have LV bags that i bought 10 years back and they are still IN. Their luggages are the best! I don't mind Gucci, depending on their designs coz they will go out of style real quick. Good thing about Gucci is that they have seasonal sale, i love a good bargain! I will carry my Gucci once or twice, somehow i get tired of them, so off to cold storage. for my LVs, i will go back to them regardless.
I love both Gucci and LV just as much! But i have more gucci stuff than LV because Gucci stuff is more "affordable" than LV especially during their sale in july and december.
diorgirl, thought you will prefer Dior better than LV and Gucci??
hehe...okie, back to your question, i think LV's wallet designs are not very practical, for example, some doesn't come with any coin compartments. So i guess that should one factor you take into consideration.
Maybe you can share with us, which kind of wallets are you looking for? Those man wallet kind, or something like a purse kind? I think this "PORTE MONNAIE ACCORDEON" is new, and looks good. But of course there are no slots for your cards, so you gotta "stack" them. Hope you get what I mean.
i would suggest you go to both LV and Gucci and then decide from there. Hope you can get your dream one! But make your decision quick if you are getting the LV one, there will be a price increase after CNY. (Do see the LV thread).
I like this one because of its size.
but it doesn't have any slots for money notes.
so i'll stick to my braun buffel...
overall, i like both gucci and LV but I haven't own any authentic gucci yet.
Score from Auntie Vernis
LV : Gucci
1 : 1
both , can't make up my mind.
Correct me if Im wrong, but this monogram vernis porte monnaine billets cartes credits wallet has compartments for your change, bills and credit cards.
And it's available in 6 colours

Yes, the monogram vernis porte monnaine billets does hold notes. I have the exact same one in the same colour. However, note that vernis is very difficult to maintain. I will not buy a Vernis wallet againt, as usually the wallet get thrown in the bag with other items, like key pouch, cosmetic pouch etc, and colour from other items stained the vernis very easy.
Love vernis and the wallet but should have bought a monogram on hindsight.
you can try bringing down your vernis wallet to any of the LV stores and ask the staff to clean the stains for you.
Some stains can be clean off by using a special type of rubber, specially made from paris.

Dana White and the Fertitas are like any other human being on this earth with all the same beautiful flaws as you or me. At the end of the day it is these three mens jobs to produce a money making machine that coats their pockets and employee pockets with cash.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is not in hard times, at all.
In a world where major sports teams like the historic Los Angeles Dodgers can't even afford to pay their players the UFC is doing just fine.
The problem with the UFC is what appears to be double standard practices and an overall favoritism to certain fighters. And as long as you 'WAR" you may have a job withe the biggest fight promotion for much longer then say a guy who is .500% with 2 decisions and 2 losses.
Join me after the jump and let's see who 'WAR" 's enough for Lorenzo Fertita
Some of the most famous post-fight drug failures of recent memory include Thiago Silva, Sean Sherk and Chael Sonnen. I would've included Nate Marquardt but he wasn't even able to piss prior to UFCon Versus 5. All had their excuse from TRT to supplements and Silva didn't record a human-like piss.
Of the four mentioned names one was canned in Marquardt who now will be competing in British promotion BAMMA at a date to be determined. Thiago Silva was suspended for a year and must re-apply to the commission for his licensese to fight.
Sean Sherk tested positive alongside his opponent that night, Hermes Franca and was stripped of the UFC lightweight title. In a weird twist though, Sherk was able to present new information before the commission to have his suspension reduced to six months.
Nate Marquardt was fired over twitter by Dana White but due to prior instances his track record didn't help him. Marqaurdt was also full aware prior to the event he was testing high but was not able to reduce his levels to meet the accepted testosterone level. It is now known that 'Nate the Great' is less then great in producing testosterone as he is treated with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Chael Sonnen had a horrible downfall and up until his win over Brian Stann at UFC 136 his career was in shambles. Sonnen, a year prior was the hottest star the promotion had as he berated Anderson Silva up to a middleweight title clash at UFC 117. After dominating Silva for 4 and a half rounds he was submitted by way of triangle choke.
He was submitted by more.
Sonnen would go on to fail his drug test as he had elevated testosterone levels and was a user of TRT which brought TRT and MMA into question. He then would be found guilty in real estate fraud which added fuel to the fire. The proverbial straw that broke this camel's back was accusing Nevada State Athletic Commission's Keith Kizer of allowing Sonnen to use TRT without proper documentation.
Facts are Sonnen was not fired from the UFC, Sonnen can no longer dabble in real estate, Sonnen isn't licensed in Nevada and he may be a number one contender in the UFC middleweight division after all this and one win though a very impressive win.
Well following his submission win over Stann he did the smartest thing he may have done in a long time-grab a mic' and spit his rhyme.. Sonnen enacted his freedom of speech and tore into Anderson Silva (who was in attendance) and he got that Texas crowd eating every last word he spoke. It was professional wrestling with reality and Sonnen seemed to reverse a year of hate and bad headlines to a night in which everyone is demanding a rematch.
Chae Sonnen is money and he is also a very good mixed martial artist as well and there is no denying his skill. He showed he could submit,strike and wrestle as he gets well-rounded but, the greatest tool he has is that art of selling and even though he goes to extremes he brings eyes and ears.
He is as good for the sport as he is as bad.
The UFC has always looked for a fighter who is as captivating with his talent as he is with his personality. When Zuffa bought the company back in 2011 it tried to use old school fighters to get steam. Frank Mir fought Tank Abbott, Shamrock fought Kimo and it turned the ship based on a fued between Shamrock versus Tito Ortiz.
The UFC is a promotion and promoting is as big as the fight. The art of selling a fight sometimes means much more then what happens in the cage. Let's take UFC 114: 'Rampage vs. Evans' as a prime example for this statement. The hype leading up to 'black on black crime' was so much it carried over well after the the 'Ultimate Fighter" (TUF) season 10 concluded. Everyone wanted to see who was going to win between the PRIDE knockout artist in Quinton Jackson or the former UFC light heavyweight champion who was just as cocky in Rashad Evans.
The fight to most fans was a 'bust'
We didn't get a knockout or submission and Evans used his wrestling to negate Rampage's punching. The bout had two exciting moments; Evans opened the bout with a huge overhand and Rampage catching Evans in the 2nd but could not finish his ground and pound.
The fight made millions in box office and pay per view revenue so the promotion did not care for the result and is also why they may never do the fight again. The fight was exposed and people overall were disappointed so the lust for seconds was gone.
Chael Sonnen all 'roided up' beat up Silva for four and half rounds and still got stopped. The people in a majority do not care about that triangle but focus on the ass-whooping from the four and half rounds prior. Sonnen has made Silva seem human and unhuman in the same fight. So, wrestling fans (yes you know who you are) don't you remember Wrestlemania 13 in Chicago when 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin fought Bret Hart?.
It's eerie similar
For weeks leading up to Wrestlemania 13 Austin berated and beat up the 'Hitman' and the fans started to think he was the bad guy all along. People thought Bret Hart was going to beat the shit out of Austin and prove he was a mere pretender. Well 20+ minutes later and Austin laid an ass whooping all over Hart but Hart was able to lock in the famous Sharpshooter and Austin never tapped-i know Chael did.
Austin walked away with the admiration and everyone started to trun on Bret Hart. The 'Hitman' had his die-hards but the vast majority chanted for Austin following the titanic clash.
Chael Sonnen like Steve Austin did everything like a 'steak and potatoes" kinda guy woulddo.Nothing special but bringing your hard hat to work and putting in your hours. Give them a microphone and you can't stop but listen to every word.
"Sonnen 3:16 says i just whooped you ass!"
Another blatant act of favoritism is the unspoken rule of "3 and you're out" that seems to exist. We've seen countless guys get cut after three straight losses some exceptions include if it wasa title fight then two extra losses.
British slugger Dan Hardy is a fun and exciting fighter who doesn't mean anyone harm. He comes to fight and wears his heart on his sleeve. He generally loves what he is doing and you see that when he soaks up his pre-fight introduction with Bruce Buffer.
Hardy is by no means a world beater and i'm not going to deny he has a major whole in his wrestling. He's a decent striker with undeniable toughness and being one of the few notable English fighters helps aswell. He comes sporting a red mohawk, a bandana and a fang decked out mouthguard. He embodies punk rock and is just a fun spirit in the sport.
Hardy has now lost four straight which includes a loss at UFC 111 to UFC welterweight champion Georges St.Pierre. He would then continue his losing ways to Carlos Condit, Anthony Johnson and now-retired Chris Lytle. He hasn't shown improved wrestling and when he went for a shot Chris Lytle he ended up being choked out in the final minute of the final round in Lytle's fighting career.
Lorenzo Fertita tweeted shortly after the Lytle lost that he likes guys that 'WAR' so 'stand and bang' essentially. This came off like your misinformed buddy who thinks the ground game is 'gay'. I myself love guys who leave it all in the cage but at a point watching a guy lose four in a row is too much to justify him a spot.
In the heavyweight division their version of 'Dan Hardy' is none other the funny kicking man, Pat Barry. Pat Barry was a stud prospect who somewhere during the Mirko Cro Cop fight at UFC 115 let it all crumble. From the get-go he dropped and beat up Cro Cop in every exchange. He ended up getting submitted by Cro Cop which in itself is a statement based on Cro Cop's body of work. Barry is 1-3 in his last four and was stopped in each loss and his one win was decision over Joey Beltran.He hasn't shown any improvement and just seems to care more about laughs then wins.
Now you'd like an example of possible wrongful release-Gerald Harris. Harris, a contestant on season 8 of the 'Ultimate Fighter' was cut after one loss. Now if he was one and done i'd say fine but here's the thing; he was on a three fight win strea prior to losing to Maiquel Falcao at UFC 123.
The oddest part was that 2 of his 3 wins prior to his Falcao loss was that he earned "knockout of the nigh" honors in them.
I don't have an issue if a legend like Chuck Liddell or Randy Couture were shown favoritism after all the years of grind one another put in the sport. When a fighter like Fedor can be cut after three losses then anyone can be i guess making 'Fedor money' doesn't help you either. I just feel the sport has a lot of issues in it's legitimacy that i am starting to believe will never come to be righted.
The fight game is not ran like the NFL as their is much more interest in it's investors. Promoting a fight isn't as easy as promoting a game. The city of New England will unite under the Patriots but to gather everyone to unite under a fighter for 50$ is a harder task.
The facts are evident.
So what do you think Maniacs' are we seeing Brass having favoritism? or is the ugly side of the fight game?

Stopped and subsequently shot in Middlesex County, nearly died and tortured in Middlesex County, tried unfairly in Middlesex County, put in solitary confinement in an all male prison in Middlesex County, escaped from prison in Union Township, and now 30 years later after she has retreated to Cuba she is listed as a "terrorist". This poster is outdated, her reward has doubled- inviting a manhunt by trying to tie her in to this wave of terrorism hysteria.

FRIENDS! I know I don't have much of a "following" on here but I will do anything!
My film BANANAZZZ sunk me further into debt, and this was a project I made on a strict strict BUDGET in order for me to graduate last year. If you care about my financial well being/happiness or want to see me live to make another video PLEASE THINK ABOUT DONATING !! I know finances are tough for everyone, and I don't want to sound like a weeney, but I have supported my local DIY scene and all my friends bands and projects for years and years and years and it doesn't seem to be being reciprocated when i need it most.
I do love everyone and I hope this puts my desperation into context!!!!!!
(feel free to share this <3 sorry this will be over soon, even if I can make 1/3 of the money back I will be happy- almost there!!!!)

A Victory for the Uighurs, and for US Policy
More than a year ago I wrote about a group of Uighurs (a Chinese ethinic group), that were being held at Guantanamo Bay. The US had released some of them, but they had no place to go. They would be persecuted in China, and few countries would grant them residency. The US sent 5 of them to Albania, but had been unable to find countries willing to accept the other 17.
Yesterday, the New York Times reported on a new ruling the the case. (Story here) Judge Ricardo M. Urbana annouced that the men would be released into the care of supporters living in the US. In my opinion, this is great news for people that have spent years in unjust captivity, and a serious blow to the misguided policies of the Bush administration.
One unresolved problem is that the Uighurs have no legal status in the US. Potentially, they could be picked up by US immigration. Judge Urbana said that no member of the US government should molest the freed men, but they have no real protection beyond the order of a federal district judge.
The White House Press Secretary stated that the administration "disagrees with" the decision, as it could be used as a precedent to free other detainees. We can only hope.

Vermont denied a license for a new health insurance company.
The Vermont Health Co-op opened for business last fall. The nonprofit company was created to take part in the new health care exchange under the federal Affordable Care Act. The federal law requires the co-op model to be offered in each state's exchange.
But the Department of Financial Regulation says it discovered several inadequacies, including questions about whether the co-op can remain solvent and repay federal loans.
State regulators also note that the co-op's rates are significantly higher than the two other insurance companies participating in the exchange, causing doubts about whether it can attract subscribers.
