The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Sept. 18 and Sept. 19 anti-terror arrests in Birmingham is a measure
of the success for the UK counter-terrorism strategy, CONTEST,
specifically the domestic security side of the first pillar of CONTEST,
a**Pursue,a** as the Birmingham operation demonstrated the detection,
investigation and disruption of a suspected terrorist group a** running
several unarmed raids a** before the suspects endangered the UK public.
What happened:
- Between 23:30 BST on September 18 and 01:00 BST September 19, 7
people a** six men, aged between 25 and 32 were detained while one woman,
aged 22, was arrested at 06:30 Sept 19 in Birmingham, UK, in what police
called a a**large, pre-planned, intelligence-led counter terrorism
operationa** a** the late-night raid was spearheaded reportedly by led by
the West Midlands Police force, according to a police statement
o The Daily Telegraph alleges that the group was part of a plot to carry
out a suicide bomb attack, and was guided from Pakistan a** though it has
not revealed by who nor by what means of communications or financing
o The men all reportedly to have at one point travelled to Pakistan
o MI5 reportedly had the men under surveillance for a**weeksa**
- British media state the operation was based on intelligence first
gathered by MI5 a** the raids took place in the student and up and coming
professional neighborhood of Moseley, as well as in the predominately
Asian neighborhoods of Sparkbrook, Sparkhill, Ward End, Saltley, Balsall
Heath and Alan Rock areas of Birmingham involved MI5, Officers from
Scotland Yard's counter-terrorist command and supporting officers from
West Midlands' counter-terrorism unit
A. The 6 arrested were in early stages of operational planning
A. Police believe the suspects are al-Qaida inspired a** British
press has cited unnamed officials who say that the operation is a**linked
to international cases as much as locala**
A. The 6 men were detained on the suspicion of "commission,
preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism in the U.K.," according
to police. Those arrested were:
A. Male aged 25 from Moseley
A. Male aged 26 from Sparkbrook
A. Male aged 26 from Balsall Heath
A. Male aged 28 from Sparkbrook
A. Male aged 30 from Sparkhill
A. Male aged 32 from Ward End
A. 14 locations a** including one business a** were searched -- ten
of those properties were on Sept. 20
A. The property Mohammed Irfan, 34, and Mohammed Rizwan, both of whom
reportedly preach at a mosque, was searched in the Ward End district
A. Irfan was in jail between February 2008 and October 2009 for
admitting to being part of a plot to behead a Muslim soldier in the
British Army to deter other Muslim soldiers from doing so
A. Police have seized at least 1 car and a**some computer
equipmenta** -- all of which is being tested
A. The 22 year-old Salma Kabal, a nursery nurse, was arrested in Alum
Rock for failing to provide police with information related to terrorism
a** she was released on bail late Sept 19
A. Kabal reportedly came from a a**moderatea** Pakistani Muslim
family and was the eldest of 5, according to neighbors
AS: She reportedly adopted the full Islamic veil two years ago when first
married but in recent weeks was not seen in it by neighbors -- Kabal
divorced Ashik Ali about six months ago
AS: Neighbors said that Ashik wanted her to move to Pakistan where he was
reportedly planning to attend a madrassa
A. Ashik Ali, and his brother, Bahader (28), were also arrested
AS: Eye witnesses said the Ali brothers were arrested in the street at
around 11pm as they stood near a green Volkswagen Passat close to Bahader
Alia**s home in the Sparkbrook area of the city. It is believed that a
third man was arrested alongside them.
AS: One witness said: a**They kept hold of the men separately, made them
dress in white plastic forensic suit and covered their heads with a cloth
or bag.
AS: a**They said a**wea**re here to take you to a police station, have
you got anything that will be of danger to us, to you or anyone around
AS: She said the men all wore traditional white Islamic clothes, and one
was bearded.
AS: A man claiming to be Bahader and Ashik Alia**s brother said they had
vision disabilities having both suffered a hole in the heart as children.
AS: He said: a**They can hardly see more than a few yards, how on earth
can they be terrorists?
AS: a**If they have done wrong then they deserve to be punished, but they
would not be involved in something like this.
A. All of the suspects were apprehended in or near their respective
A. According to the West Midlands police, a** number of vehicles,
computers and other items relevant to the investigation have been seized
and are now being forensically examined.a**
- British media report that the suspects have been taken to Coventry
for questioning a** according to British laws the terror suspects can be
held for up to 14 days
o British media report that the decision to run the raid sooner than
later was made at an executive liaison group where police and MI5 meet to
discuss major operation
o West Midlands police's assistant chief constable for security, Marcus
Beale, said on the 19th that: "The operation is in its early stages so we
are unable to go into detail at this time about the nature of the
suspected offences.a** - "However, I believe it was necessary to take
action at this time in order to ensure public safety.a**
AS: West Midlands Police Assistant Chief Constable, Marcus Beale said:
a**This was a large-scale operation led by the West Midlands Counter
Terrorism Unit.
The operation has been running for some time and has been subject to
regular review. As a result of one of those reviews yesterday we decided
that the time was right and moved to make six arrests during the night,
with a further one a few hours later.
Some computer equipment has already been removed and is being examined. As
I'm sure you are aware, that this may take some time.a**
o Reportedly at least 10 of the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit
participants were contractors for G4S a** a private security company.
- Britaina**s Press Association news agency said the arrests had
nothing to do with the ongoing annual party conference of the Liberal
Democrats in Birmingham
What is CONTEST?
- CONTEST is the comprehensive United Kingdoma**s Strategy for
Countering Terrorism a** with the most updated version released this past
o CONETEST was created 2003 a** it was classified and unpublished,
overseen by the Cabinet office from a**03-a**06
o In 2006 it was partially declassified and first published a** CONTEST
was under the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism of the Home Office
and has been ever since.
o A revised edition was published in 2009.
- CONTEST is a strategy based on four pillars of combating
o Pursue: meant to stop terrorist attacks;
o Prevent: to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting
o Protect: to strengthen protection against a terrorist attack; and
o Prepare: to mitigate the impacts of a terrorist attack
Pursue is to thwart an attack before it happens at home or against British
interests abroad, through the use of intelligence (and surveillance) a**
both signals and human - essentially neutralizing terrorist plots before
they go operational, and prosecuting when available. Pursue focuses on not
only communications between but also joint operations between various
police and intelligence agencies at various levels.
The prevent strategy focuses on preventing and or disrupting the
radicalization process focusing more on preventing the social
radicalization, namely, recruiters praying on susceptible youths and or
groups. This is done through robust government programs to help educate
and advise mobilize communities and groups and educate those at risk for
radicalization by promoting an anti-radical message through those
programs, and supporting and financing anti-radicalization outreach and
programs by religious institutions, health care, the internet, community
organizations and law enforcement.
Protect focuses on the reduction of the risk of attacks against the UK and
UK interests. It focuses on the transport system, the UK border, crowded
places and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI). The Sellafield nuclear
facility, for example, is a CNI location a** in May five men of
Bangladeshi origin were detained after a stop-check (a Pursue strategy)
and later released after being held for two days and after their
residencies in London were searched.
The final pillar is Prepare a** prepare for an attack (including
catastrophic). As, an a**effective and efficient response will save lives,
reduce harm and aid recovery.a** This means building capabilities to be
able to respond to a wide-range of terrorist attacks (or emergencies),
improving readiness, improving special responders reactions and working
together in incidents, and improving and bettering communications and
information sharing during terrorist attacks.
Why the Birmingham raid is important
- The Birmingham operation was an example of the pillar a**Pursue,a**
which, according to the July 2011 United Kingdoma**s Strategy for
Countering Terrorism, partially is a**detecting and investigating threats
at the earliest possible stage, disrupting terrorist activity before it
can endanger the public and, wherever possible, prosecuting those
- Police were unarmed throughout the raids -- meaning that they had
concrete intelligence that the 6 men and a woman were unarmed (otherwise
they more than likely would have ran a raid armed) a** this means that UK
security in this investigation was either discovering and or receiving
reliable and verifiable / verified intelligence. This means that if the
six are proven to be terrorists a**SIGINT or HUMINT, or a combination of
the two, was verified beyond a shadow of a doubt. The local, Midland
Police Anti-Terror, MI5 and Scotland Yard collaboration would be yet
another demonstration of the operation a success of the Pursue pillar in
this domestic operation.

In this week's search for facts on the topic, I came across another definition of an old wives' tale.
An old wives' tale is a type of "urban legend," so to speak. It is usually passed down by word of mouth from the older generation to the younger. Most of these "tales" usually are just unfounded superstitions, unfounded lore, but, mixed within are a few kernels of truth that helps perpetuate the majority of those that are untrue.
Actually, I guess I do qualify as an old wife because I discovered a notation that said "wife" in this context means simply a "woman" rather than specifically "a married woman." It started, as many words in our English language do, from the Old English word "wif" for woman. The root word is also related to the German word "Weib," which also stands for woman.
Although intriguing, most old wives' tales are false.
They probably, as you can well image, were first used to try to keep children from behaving badly. Unfounded folk cures for ailments also are a major component in this area, due muchly — I'm a-guessin' — to the less-than-accurate scientific knowledge that didn't abound.
Old wives' tales are even mentioned in the Bible — in I Timothy 4:7 in the King James Version Bible — and were discredited even then: "But refuse profane and old wives fables, and exercise thyself [rather] unto godliness."
Most wives' tales, old or otherwise, were passed down through what is called an "oral tradition" which basically means through stories and not books. These stories supposedly were used to help teach lessons or to make a difficult issue, such as death and dying, more understandable, especially to children. That, my investigation tells me, also is where fairy tales came from.
Old wives' tales have also morphed, in this modern era, being used as the name of a restaurant in Portland, Ore. It boasts of a 90 percent gluten-free menu, as well as a "multi-ethnic" menu of vegetarian, chicken and seafood fare.
Who knew? But I still don't get what this restaurant has to do with ole wives' tales.
Do you?
But now, I want to get back to finding out what some of these old wives' tales are. Here's a hodgepodge of a large variety of some of my faves.
- We've probably all heard the old wives' tale that goes: If you break a mirror, you'll have bad luck.
- OK. Now here's one even I can't find any justification for: In the 1500s, egg shells had to be crushed after breaking because — and this is online research I'm getting this from, remember — witches, yep, witches, would collect the unbroken egg shells, make a boat out of them, and take to the seas to cause storms and other havoc. Okey Dokey!
Supposedly, the following 10 are not true. "Bunkum" was the colorful term I found that was used to describe them. Here they are:
- Feed a Fever, Starve a Cold — not true. First of all, both cause dehydration, so liquids are essential, as is good nutrition. So, this old wives' tale should go: Feed a fever, and feed a cold too.
- If you eat within an hour of swimming, you'll get a cramp. The Red Cross denies this will happen. The Red Cross does recommend that folks don't eat or chew gum WHILE swimming.
Ah, has anyone out there ever eaten WHILE swimming? Gum, maybe, but eating?
OK, moving on.
- There is only one way to catch a cold or a virus — by coming into direct contact with that virus. You can stand outside with wet hair in the cold all you want, and you won't catch a cold or flu that way.
Whew! What a relief!
Here are some, rapid-fire style:
- Don't breathe in when driving past a cemetery or you might breathe in a spirit.
- If your nose itches, someone is talking about you.
- If your hand itches, you are going to receive money.
- Touching a toad will give you warts.
- Drinking coffee will stunt your growth.
- Eating bread crust will make your hair curly.
- Spicy food causes ulcers. No, it doesn't, although it can aggravate the some. An ulcer is usually a result of the overuse of aspirin and/or anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Don't cross your eyes — they'll get stuck that way!
Here are a bunch of hair-related ole wives' tales.
- It is unlucky to have your hair cut when the moon is waning as this will cause it to fall out and/or lose its lustre.
- Never pull out grey hairs, for one will be replaced by 10.
- A sudden fright can turn hair completely white.
And to end this second column in the series, some medical old wives' tales.
- You can catch poison ivy from someone who has it. No, you can't. Contact with the oil of the plant is the only way to contract the rash.
And, of particular importance and interest these days:
- You can get the flu from the flu shot. Again, no you can't. The vaccine contains inactive organisms. Therefore, it cannot give you the flu.

Two weeks ago, at a conference panel on water policy issues and green jobs, an engineer consultant explained why major water agencies are slow to change and don't adopt new technologies readily.
They need to ensure reliable service, and therefore they default to mega-systems: dams, canals, large treatment plants. Most importantly, he said, "We don't want anybody to get hurt."
We can all support agencies' efforts to protect the health of their consumers, but this "no-one-gets-hurt" stance doesn't take into account the hurt that falls on people outside the agency's purview. If we click back to look at the big picture, we see that the policies, actions, costs and impacts of agencies acting within their limited jurisdiction - or "silo," in management parlance - does harm people, although that harm may not be visible.
But who are these people who are getting hurt without being seen? Who are these invisible victims?
This past March President Obama signed a jobs bill, noting "there's a lot more we need to do."
A shout out to LA Mayor Anthony Villaraigosa for carrying a visionary plan to Washington DC this week that could jumpstart LA's economy while accelerating our sustainability.
He's traveled to Congress to gather support for his "30-10" plan to accelerate construction of the 12 mass transit projects funded by LA's voter-approved Measure R. This measure was passed in 2008 to increase sales tax by a half cent over the next 30 years to build an electric rail system in our traffic-gridlocked city. The Mayor's request to Washington: give us (federal deficit-neutral) loans to get all 12 projects built in 10 years, instead of 30.
Los Angeles' economy and ecosystem are in pieces: we need to start connecting the dots, and quickly. Today's combined crises in climate, drought, and economy call for us to urgently recognize the true emergency we are in.
One solution is to look to a rarely used government structure that could be updated and expanded to address our current state of threat.
In the case of a "significant crisis" the heads of agencies - police, fire, sanitation, building and safety, water and power, etc. - are called into an Emergency Operations Center. There they literally look at the big picture, supported by information and intelligence from multiple sources. Together they craft solutions and pool and direct public resources - people, equipment, and funds - in real time, until the crisis is solved.
The city of Los Angeles happens to have a brand-new such center, completed last year. Most of the time it sits unused, perhaps because we don't recognize that we're in the midst of a "chronic emergency."

All true.If the Sirius/XM merger proved to be a model, initially both companies' technology would be kept running, independent and separate. The company would be rebranded with a common name but you'd either get your programming from Dish's or DirecTV's set of satellites (the Sirius and XM satellites are in two incompatible orbits).
Eventually, you'd go down to one set of satellites and one system of transmission. In the Sirius/XM situation, they have chosen to go with XM's satellites. That transition hasn't happened yet.
That said, I suspect that part of the significant return on investment for such a deal is leveraging the satellite bandwidth from a combined organization as well as transmission facilities/resources. That would bring substantial operating cost reductions like most other tech mergers.
The changes to make that happen, however, would involve some major modifications to a wide range of components in the ecosystem.

Game 7: New Jersey Devils at Pittsburgh Penguins
Game Time: 1:00 PM
Radio: WFAN 660 AM, 101.9 FM
The New Jersey Devils (3-0-3) will face-off for the first time this season against the Pittsburgh Penguins (4-3-0) Saturday afternoon in Pittsburgh. Both teams played their most recent games Thursday evening, with the Devils falling in overtime to the Islanders, and the Penguins shutting out the New York Rangers 3-0. Last season, the Devils split the series with the Penguins, finishing 3-3-0, finishing 1-2-0 in Pittsburgh. Ilya Kovalchuk led the Devils in goals (4) and points (11) against the Penguins last season.
New Jersey Devils
While getting at least a point in every game this season, the Devils realize that some changes have to be made to get back to their winning ways. Coach Peter DeBoer said after Thursday's OT loss, "We didn't deserve to win. We didn't play well enough to win. We lost the special teams battles. We lost the faceoff battle. I said this before: You get what you deserve in this game. We had some opportunities to win, but we didn't play well enough to earn two points." The Devils only managed to kill 1 penalty out of 4 against the Islanders, by far their worst performance of the year while short-handed after only giving up 3 goals on their previous 36 times short-handed. If there's any silver-lining to be taken from Thursday's game, it's the way the Devils played while they were down during the game. The Devils were down 2-0, 3-2, and 4-3 and managed to tie the game each time. While the Devils struggled in a lot of areas, they did a good job of making up for it offensively. They'll be looking to their defense and their special teams to help right the ship this weekend.
Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins, always a strong contender in the Atlantic Division, are off to a less-than-favorable start to the shortened season. Despite the shutout win over the Rangers on Thursday night, they were almost shutout by the Islanders on Tuesday, finally breaking through Nabokov with 69 seconds left in the game. The Penguins are also winless at home (0-2-0) falling to the Islanders and the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2. Marc-Andre Fleury (2-2-0, 2.95 GAA, 0.890 Sv%) is usually Pittsburgh's go-to-goalie, but Tomas Vokoun (2-1-0, 1.81 GAA, 0.940 Sv%) has made a strong case for himself this season. As always, Evgeni Malkin (2G, 6A) and Sidney Crosby (3G, 4A) lead the team in points.
What to Watch For
If you weren't a fan of David Clarkson before this season started, chances are you are now. Clarkson (4G, 4A) has registered a point in all six of the Devils games so far this season and currently holds the scoring lead for the team. Patrik Elias (2G, 5A) has also been hot for the Devils, as he looks to improve on his franchise records. Ilya Kovalchuk has always been lethal against the Penguins, registering 24 goals and 24 assists in 42 games against Pittsburgh. Devils goalie Martin Brodeur (3-0-2, 2.32 GAA, 0.913 Sv5) had a bit of an off night against the Islanders, but is still very solid on the season. Look for a bounce-back game from Marty to make up for his performance on Thursday. With Crosby, Malkin, and Neal combining for 10 of the Penguins' 18 goals, they'll be the three players the Devils defense will look to shutdown Saturday afternoon. Expect the Devils defense to play a much more conservative, controlled game than we saw on Thursday evening, but also expect the offense to keep up the pressure and continue scoring.

Obesity seems to spring from a simple cause: take in more calories than you need or burn, and you'll store fat. Scientists are now exploring a variety of factors that could lead to or predispose one to storing fat more readily than the next person.
The call for comfort foods is a programming obtained when we were tykes, with ertain associations and habits form around certain foods. These are 'foods' many embrace to feel better. Secondly, studies have shown that external factors play a role as to how much we consume in one sitting. From the size of the plate (if it's bigger we'll eat more) to the type of music being played, many things can influence over-consumption.
Predisposition to varying degrees can influence the body to gain and hold on to weight versus losing it. Hormones known as homeostatic factors indicate whether we feel hungry of full. Gherlin, made in the stomach, helps to signal whether the body wants food. Leptin, secreted by fatty tissue, tells the brain it's time to stop chowing down.
When we eat sugar, we release dopamine, a chemical involved in addiction. It signals pleasure. So, the yummier the food, the more dopamine one produces. Eventually, obese people become conditioned to get excited by merely the sight of yummy food. Interestingly, fatter people seem to have fever dopamine receptors. So: more excited, more consumption; less pleasure, need more yummy. The cycle is believed to come from simply overeating again and again. Leptin levels also seem to rise. But, the brain stops responding to the full signal. If you then start to lose weight, high leptin levels stop, signaling starvation, which makes the brain unhappy.
Let's blame it on the caveman. Forced to eat whenever food was available, hungry or not. This caused efficient storing of surplus (fat) to survive. Over and over, our genes and brain adapted to these signals. Then over time we became super efficient at storing up fat for the lean times, which leads to this little biological snake. The fat storage programmed in the body will work hard to make sure you re-gain lost fat stores. Leptin levels drop while gherlin (I'm hungry!) signal increase. Studies show that even after one year of big time fat loss, these levels remain reversed.
This is why diets fail. It's not just the signaling hormones and survivor genes, nor lack of will power due to the aforementioned. The evolutionary process has led to bodies that are designed against falling below a 'minimum,' but actually perpetuate gain. Those of the lower income stratus in America have climbed to the top of the obesity epidemic. The lighter money is, the more stress, therefore the more cortisol levels dip and dive, often causing sleep problems (more dip and dive) and these excessive cortisol levels assist in storing fat like energy.
Help is on the way, whatever the 'trigger' may be. "Plan-it Lean" will show you how to burn fat, built muscle, and stop cravings. Stay tuned!

The Orangestuff pads grip with approx. 0.5 Mu first brake and never drop below 0.4 which is quite stable and would not be noticed in race use, these pads do NOT fade.
Following on from the huge success of the new EBC Bluestuff NDX range, customer demand has indicated the need for a more aggressive full race material for track only use that is not required to bring a vehicle to rest (which Bluestuff NDX was specifically designed to do) and this has led to the development of the orange grade material. The material will be dusty and slightly more aggressive on brake rotors (such as EBC Blade Brake Disc rotors) which is the trade off when using a full race pad and cannot be avoided.
If you wish to drive your car to the track and race it, you CANNOT use Orangestuff. It is not European street legal or safe and likely never will be ECE R 90 street legal .Even in countries where there is no such consideration of ECE R 90 (a European brake safety regulation) Orange grade is NOT designed for highway style driving and is more designed to scrub off speed on track use. Orange is a TRACK ONLY MATERIAL.
On the contrary Bluestuff is a material capable of track use on most vehicles and is now also street legal. The different in the compounds is immense. Bluestuff may work great on better designed calipers on the track but the fastest cars on STREET design calipers may push blue beyond its limits due to reduced cooling, reduced pad release and smaller rotor diameters associated with a standard set up.

The TV is in overall excellent condition! The cabinet is also in very good condition. I had not played it in about 5+ years, so just recently re-hooked all back up and I was very impressed with the picture clarity as well as the sound quality. Fits in most units fairly well. Yes, it's not a fancy new flat screen, but it would be an excellent TV for the bedroom, apartment or kids game room. I live in Mandeville in a nice neighborhood. So please give me a call so we can set up a time to view. I think it will go pretty fast! Kevin G 985-778-0072

Rowland was first appointed to the TACIR commission by former Gov. Don Sundquist and later reappointed by Gov. Phil Bredesen.
The 25-member state commission returned Rowland unanimously to the vice chairman post late last week during a two-day work session in Nashville. The group also re-elected state Sen. Mark Norris, R-Collierville, who represents the 32nd Senatorial District in West Tennessee, to the chairman's seat.
By state law, the TACIR chairman must be a member of the Tennessee General Assembly. Rowland's selection puts him in good standing to begin his fourth consecutive two-year term as vice chairman.
"Members of TACIR are alternately appointed by the governor and by the speakers of the state Senate and state House of Representatives," Rowland explained. Along with his appointment by Sundquist and reappointment by Bredesen, Rowland has been reappointed to the state advisory commission by Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey and former House Speaker Jimmy Naifeh.
TACIR is a state agency that serves as a forum for discussion and resolution of problems among various levels of local and state government.
Rowland's election as TACIR's No. 2 voice comes shortly after the organization released a jobs report that showed his hometown to be part of the state's leading metropolitan area for employment growth. In 2012, the Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Area — comprised of Bradley and Polk counties — led the state's 10 MSAs in strongest jobs growth. For the year, according to the TACIR findings, Cleveland employment grew by 5.6 percent compared to 1.4 percent statewide.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as a TACIR commissioner," Rowland told the Cleveland Daily Banner. "It gives me a rare insight into issues affecting our state, as well as our cities and counties. I am both honored and humbled to be elected for another term as vice chairman by my fellow commissioners."
TACIR membership is made up of four members each from the Senate and House of Representatives, four members from local city and county governments, the Finance Ways and Means Committee chairman for both the Senate and House, and the commissioners for the Department of Economic and Community Development and the Department of Commerce and Insurance. The TACIR body also includes two local government members and two members from the private sector.
Norris, who serves as majority leader in the Senate, is also Republican Caucus chairman and he serves on several Senate committees. With his re-election, Norris now begins his second term as TACIR chairman. He was first elected to the state Senate in 2000, and was last re-elected Nov. 6, 2012.
During last week's commission sessions, and the committee hearings leading to the Rowland and Norris re-elections, TACIR members heard reports, and debated, a variety of annexation issues facing municipal and county governments across the state. Annexation by Tennessee cities was a key piece of legislation discussed by members of the 108th General Assembly which ended in mid-April. Further debate is expected in the next session which kicks off in January 2014. For now, a statewide moratorium on city annexations has been put into place by legislators until further deliberation in the next legislative session.
"We (TACIR) planned subsequent sessions to research the issues and make referrals to the state Legislature in coming months," Rowland said.
Annexation is only one of a variety of issues tackled by TACIR through the course of a year, but municipal growth dominated some of the legislative attention during the recently completed session.
Locally, annexation proposed by both the cities of Cleveland and Charleston have captured spots in local headlines over the past year. Both actions are on hold pending the completion of the legislative debate.
Norris's home is no stranger to the issue either.
According to the Memphis Flyer website, annexation — and even de-annexation — have been hot topics in Shelby County whose governing seat is Memphis. The Bluff City, located in the state's southwestern corner along the banks of the Mississippi River, shares the area with a number of suburbs, including Norris's home of Collierville.
For this reason, Norris — like Rowland and others — is eager to get TACIR started on its annexation work.
Of his re-election as TACIR chairman, the Memphis Flyer website quoted Norris as stating, "This study requires in-depth research by the staff and thoughtful consideration by the members of the commission. I am pleased to continue to lead TACIR as we look into this issue as well as many others."
According to Rowland, TACIR holds two-day sessions at Legislative Plaza in the State Capitol. TACIR hearings can be reviewed on the commission's website at www.state.tn.us/tacir.
TACIR was created in July 1978 by Chapter 939 of the Public Acts of 1978, according to the commission's website. It points out, "TACIR was created in response to legislative findings in the late 1970s indicating the need for a permanent intergovernmental body to study and take action on questions of organizational patterns, powers, functions and relationships among federal, state and local governments."
The commission's first public gathering came in June 1979.
TACIR can be contacted at 226 Capitol Boulevard Building, Suite 508, Nashville TN 37243; or by calling 615-741-3012; or by fax at 615-532-2443; or by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
TACIR's executive director is Lynnisse Roehrich-Patrick.

^ I think we have to expect a barrage of this kind of stuff from those whose eyes are glued to FOX all day long.
FOX has nothing right now...except the bitter grapes they are using to press the sour vintage of defeat.
The clip stands on its own
It's a snapshot of the press and their treatment of Pres. Obama
Which is why many issues do not get the attention or depth they deserve
Much like fans who fawn over athletes or actors
It's a jock sniff sitch
Obama sniffing is a national disease
Gettin' your little condescending jab at the end as usual. Is that the toll price we pay when we reply to a post of yours, chance1?
Considering my assumptions were correct of why you made this thread, here is why that confirmation is wrong. It was the same media that accurately projected the outcome of the election whereas Fox News and Bill O'Reilly were so sure that their information and "facts" projected Romney to be the winner. When Obama won by a landslide again, I was amazed by just how shocked the Republicans were that they lost. The answer was because they were so mistrustful of the Associated Press, that they genuinely believed in crackpots and Republican pundits who were cheerleading for the GOP ticket.
It's clear which side was living in the reality distortion field.
#439th oldest member on JUB.
It is a single reporter out of about 500,000 running around.
We get it,
If it is against Obama, it is honest reporting.
If one reporter softballs it...it is indicative that 99% of the entire media machine is somehow sniffing Obama's nuts.
And this is how the bitter, sad girls over at FOX always play it.
And their faithful followers just lap it up.
Gee. I guess Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump will end up being the saviours of America by ensuring the same high quality investigative journalism that has been a hallmark of their empires.
Actually you don't get it
That's clear
Frankly you and your colleagues are making a far bigger deal than I
Just look above
Never mind dear
I wonder if :
She'll get a show on MSNBC ?
A guest spot on the View ?
Free contraception for life ? For her and her partner . Oops
Bobble head dolls of Barack and Michelle
Any other ideas ?
^Obviously now you're as bored with this non-topic as the rest of us.
what about radio talk show gig with sandra fluke ?
give me some ideas you have rareboy - you're a creative guy
the reporter is boring
the "coverage" of the president is boring
all true
the subject is scintillating
the idea that the president of the u.s. is not really responsible for sharing information or answering real questions
honestly doesn't that concept bother u
shouldn't there be a more adversarial approach ?
and yes she's not ............. high in the food chain but what evidence have you seen that the press corps is anything but a free lunch crowd
Aaaaaand we're back to Obama eating dog. The reason for the election result in pure crystalized form...
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
^ What. You thought that Springer would have something new or interesting to add?
I expect that FOX will be back to focussing on the birth certificate again soon.
As usual rareboy has no answers for direct questions
Progressive deflection - SOP
Much like the president
Just cheap shots at jack and the handful (count em on one hand with change) of non cultists
Life on animal farm
Progressive deflection? As compared to the right wing deflection and outright slander that occurs on this forum? How about the fact that whenever I post facts they are ignored by the right wingers? Get real please...
And cultists... one can take a look at the Obama haters and see a more cult like group there.
As I noted above, everyone is about as bored with the thread premise as the OP, so it looks like it will just degenerate into snide comments about Obama and the usual brisk repartee between the couple of FOX hounds on this forum and the rest of the gang of progressive 'terrorists', as I believe we are currently labelled by Chance.
But if Jack is going to favour us with his cheap shots about Obama eating dog for the next four years, I have no problem with sayin' 'Back atcha Jack'.
What question did the president fail to answer?
You complain bitterly that this president has often preferred digital media and direct interviews with reporters over formal, old-fashioned press conferences to get information out. Then, when he has a formal, old-fashioned press conference, you complain that it is a biased and ineffective communications tool.
I take it, then, that you agree with the president?
The striking failure of this thread - and the point you keep ignoring, chance - is that this "fawning female journalist" you disparage asked one of the most penetrating and insightful questions of the evening.
You are trying to make a point of softball journalism, and the example you cite is the journalistic equivalent of game six of the Mets vs. Astros 1986 National League Championship.
If you want to make a case for journalistic failure, then give us an example of journalistic failure. You are not very persuasive when your evidence demonstrates the fallacy of your (obviously foregone) conclusion.
faux moderation? "everyone" ?
it's interesting that many speak of "we" but when addressed as a group, they get skittish
which is it?
do tell
as for progressive terrorism this is a term not started by I - and it's rampant well as rampant is it can be when delivered by a small yet loud segment of the population - sorta like a small dog yipping (not barking as it cannot be labeled as such) and making a nuisance
this thread is about the lack of accounting that the press provides - their access to the president is so limited - he saw them what 1x in 8 months? tragic
then when they do and there's so much to question - really there is - in the real world not in the progressive fantasy land that exists in smallish places
instead it's "how are you" - kiss kiss
"i've never seen u lose" - blush blush
it's funny
not bill burr stand up funny - check him out he's fucking hilarious
but funny sad
here's bill burr btw
wow - your response has nothing to do with my thread or posts
just in your brain
the brain that starts sentences with "you republicans" and gets worse from there
i think the president should have some accountability - and that press conferences should not be vanity plays
call me crazy
and game 6 of the mets/astros was fucking amazing - down 3-0, comeback win in what i believe was the longest playoff game ever ???
lenny dykstra ??
jesse orosco
bad example rexx - opposite of your point i think
as for persuasive - u have to have an open mind to be persuaded my friend
have yet to see evidence of that
but willing to wait
We like you but the thread was silly and people came in and poked you for it.
Because we love you so much
So help me out here.
So what you are saying is that the President held a news conference.
And that this is the one single time over the last 18 months that any journalist has had access to the president?
And there was only one reporter allowed to ask a question?
And at this press conference only one question was allowed by the White House?
And so she was the only journalist who asked a question?
And is this why you and O'Reilly are so fixated on her and her question?

Obama has never been questioned?
Are you serious? Arizona tried to pass a law trying to find out whether Obama is cicrumcised.
What YOU guys don't get is that there have been so outlandish dishonest things coming from the GOP and Romney, that there will be a lasting distrust for the party, probably for years.
Obama's mother has been questioned, his lineage, his nationality, his citizenship, his college education... all these things he has had to prove over and over again, and frankly, the nation is weary of the next "GOP thing" invented to GIT the President.
Now saying that Romney was questioned more than Obama is as out there as you can go. Romney never explained what is income was, why he hid money offshore, what his tax plan was, where his official residence was, what corporations he owned and which ones he retroactively retired from.
Let me tell ya Chance, If Obama said he retroactively resigned from Rev Wright's church, would YOU have gone for that?
Once again, the double standard is completely blind, and in being SO blind it makes one wonder what motivates it to the extent that it exists.
Why are we even dignifying this half-baked sadness with two pages of responses?
That we are capable only of being what we are, remains our unforgivable sin.
- Gene Wolfe
there's a topic that you don't care for
that you don't delve into
it's outside of your purview
it's called the role of the press corps
In america, the job of the press is to challenge not to get to provide pleasure
this woman who i'm sure is wonderful - is an EXAMPLE of the madness of king george
it's a SYMBOL
of something run amok
and "half baked sadness" is not a term anyone gets so next post maybe provide something that fills me or better yet us in
What the fuck is progressive terrorism? Look up terrorism for a second, and stop slapping that ignorant label on people.
Sour grapes! Fantasy land? What progressive fantasy land? Everything I've seen since the election proves progressives right... so why the denial?this thread is about the lack of accounting that the press provides - their access to the president is so limited - he saw them what 1x in 8 months? tragic
then when they do and there's so much to question - really there is - in the real world not in the progressive fantasy land that exists in smallish places
That whole thread congratulating Obama and saying we are all in this together was as inauthentic and dishonest as it comes.
i'm sure there won't be a response to my post... but my point is made. Get over it already. The election is over, the republicans lost and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan got their asses handed to them by an electorate who doesn't give a crap about the republican party anymore.
You were doing so well with the rhyme scheme.
But once again...so what you and O'reilly are saying is that this one journalist was the only journalist who has been permitted to ask a question of the President for over 18 months. Wow. And she blew it by trying to blow him? Wow. Did she win a coin toss or something? Because otherwise I'm not sure why the MSM and FOX allowed her to be the only jouranlist allowed to ask the only question at the press conference.
And If I understand correctly...you are saying that all the folks at FOX also aren't journalists because their questions can't be heard while their tongues are firmly planted up the asses of the Republicans they are interviewing? Is that correct?

i have many talents JUB is just a hobby
it's hard to respond to you ....... as you never respond to a direct question ...... why is that?
then you misrepresent
so it goes so it goes
and it's 8 mos. not 18
and this has nothing to do with Fox - EVERYTHING u post has to do with Fox
a minor obsession it appears and minor is being kind
not sure what fox person you're talking about - i'm sure you're not talking about any of them - i'm sure you don't watch fox
i'm sure that your criticism of fox is all in your head - what you've heard, etc.
so try again
Nope this is me watching FOX.
Of course I check in. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to comment on just how bizarre their perspective is and why conservatives like Frum are saying that it is destroying the Republican party's chances for election.
And usually. like in this thread, where FOX is the generator of the right wing hive mind group think narrative, it is more than relevant to discuss them in the thread.
They have been egregious in misrepresenting the facts and creating a kind of bubble for old white male paranoiacs.O'Reilly had this on to tonite
So no. No Obsession...just relevance to the topic you posted.

Trolling and posting one liners is a hobby? Who would have thought?
I've always thought of u as a clockwork orange type
and u mean the same David Frum who on one hand u quoted (for goodness) but felt it necessary in the next breath to reference his dead mother and how unproud she was of his bush years ? that one? that was lovely btw
and obsession yes - u offer Fox INTO many threads where it doesn't exist
in fact, i will start responding to each of them so buyer beware
as for group think with 85% of the groupthink being progressive terror based i'd say the hive mind etc. is clearly BIG and real on your side of the conversation - MUCH
there's 5 or so non believers - so there is no "group" so you're ........ groping
w/o facts or reason on your side
back to our favorite "journalist"
i'm thinking a one hour weekly primetime special on msnbc that she co-hosts with al sharpton and they can riff on who loves the president more
it would make for sterling tv ............ for some
5 or so non-believers?
Give us all a break please.
You believe.
You all believe that there is not a single thing that Obama can do that suits you. You believe passionately in the pocketbook Republican cause...to the point where you have offered some of the most ridiculous support for the ridiculous men and women who spent half of this year trying to strangle one another to get the nod as nominee and then spent the rest of it having to defend and support the ridiculous man that no one really wanted as the candidate.
You all belong to a group of about 3 posters on this forum who scoop up every little tidbit from FOX or Breitbarf or Rush and run directly to your computer to post another ridiculous non-story or outright made-up story that demonstrates that your visceral loathing of the president is somehow justified. At the moment, there is nothing of substance...so even a single reporter being a bit of a groupie at the press conference becomes conflated with the right wingers' paranoia about how the entire media world is somehow not doing a responsible job of trying to demolish the president that you all hate so much.
Flailing? Really? Have you been watching the Republican supporters and the right wing media trying to come to grips with the ignominious defeat they have suffered over the last week and a half? Right down to stories like this one? Most are in total denial about the reasons for the loss and are lashing out at one another and their political opposites or anyone that they can think of to blame for rejection of their candidates.
So yeah. You definitely belong to a group.
But relax. There are still four years to go. Don't use up all your wrath at once. And don't swing back around to using me for target practice for your insults and invective. I've had my turn.
How can my response have anything to do with your thread or posts, when you will not tell us what meaning (if any) your thread and posts have?
At first, I thought the point of this thread was to imply the president was having an affair with an unknown pool reported (à la Petraeus), because she tried to brag in front of her fellow reporters that she had known him for years.
Then, you said that the point of this thread was that the press was "cheerleading" and not doing its job. I pointed out that your example of "cheerleading" was anything but, and you now tell me that cheer leading by the press "has nothing to do" with this thread or your posts!
I am back to trying to read between the lines of what insidious message you are trying to send.
Since you will not tell us the meaning behind this (apparently nonsensical) thread, I will conclude that your complaint is that you do not like it when the president has press conferences, and you do not like it when he does not have them.
They seem to be having a hard time rehabilitating the base, now that the leadership has decided that the angry white guy show isn't working anymore. The talking GOP heads and the GOP primary rejects are all acting rather conciliatory, but the base is filing papers of secession with the White House.
It would seem one or the other hasn't gotten the message to stop being an embarrassment.
The GOP now has to figure out how to close Pandora's Box. It's a lot of hate they riled up, and the rank and file have become rather addicted to it.

Making the Most of the Mantel
By Tim McKeough
Alessandra Branca
Mantels should be seen as a piece of furniture, similar to a console, says Chicago designer Alessandra Branca. "Once you stop thinking of it as a part of the architecture, then you can think of it as a focal point," she says. "Changing up a mantel can change up your entire room."
In her New York apartment, she uses the mantel to present changing displays of flowers. "You should use it as an opportunity to assemble the things you love," she says. "In my case, I love the vases because I can do flowering branches in spring, winterberry in winter, peonies in the summer. It gives you the chance to set up a whole different spirit."
Richard Mishaan
When decorating the mantel of the presidential suite in New York's St. Regis hotel, designer Richard Mishaan faced an interesting problem. "The mirror above the mantel turns into a TV," he says. "So, the challenge was to do something decorative that didn't block the view. Politicians and high-level executives use that room and they have a very traditional sense of what the decor should be, but I wanted a clean and streamlined look. This is pretty minimal for a traditional fireplace. I think it's just enough—we created something low, and the symmetry brings your eye across it."
Katie Ridder
In this San Francisco home, designer Katie Ridder used an antique trumeau to set off the fireplace, and to keep the mantel uncluttered. "I bought the trumeau at the Paris flea markets. I was looking for height on a wall that had two bookcases," says Ridder, who designed her own dragonfly fire screen to go with it. "The room needed a full mantel because the walls are flat—anything on it would have taken away from the sculpture of the fireplace."
David Stark
Asked to decorate State Department Diplomatic Reception Rooms in Washington, D.C., for the holiday season, New York event designer David Stark knew it was time to get creative. "The rooms are crazy classic, and very Federal," he says. "One of the challenges was to decorate them in a way that would honor and feel simpatico with the period, but at the same time be modern and fresh."
His answer was to hang swags of hardware-store chain, decorated with glass ornaments, across the mantels. "You could also hang greeting cards, flowers, or foliage," says Stark. "The mantel is like a display case or store window where there's an ever-changing arrangement."
Celerie Kemble
"A mantel is a central focal point of a room and an easy place to make small changes that help keep a room from feeling stagnant," says New York designer Celerie Kemble. "Break the symmetry and create visual interest by selecting a collection from a wardrobe of objects: two pretty planters, a pair of candlesticks, a clock, and decorative boxes. You can dress and re-dress your mantel to fit the season using different pieces from your wardrobe."

The SweetRiot unBAR 70 is declared the "unofficial bar of the world, having 70% dark chocolate with crunchy cacao 'peaces' and plump raisins." For $2.39, this was a pricey treat, although less expensive than the $3.99 SweetRiot All Natural Dark Cacao Nibs. I'm not the biggest fan of raisins and chocolate, but I wanted to give this a try anyway. After all, when it comes to chocolate, my motto is: the darker the better. I was especially excited for the crunchy cacao "peaces," so I unwrapped my chocolate right away (after buying it, of course).
Each SweetRiot UnBAR 70 clocks in at 180 calories, 14 grams of total fat (22% of the daily value), 8 grams of which is saturated (40% of the DV), and 11 grams of sugar. The ingredients are cacoa mass, sugar, cacoa powder, cacao nibs, cocoa butter, soy lecithin & natural flavor (source).
This is definitely a go for when you have a chocolate craving - not to eat on a regular basis of course, because the saturated fat content is astronomical (as with most brands of chocolates). Thankfully, there is built in portion control - since 1 package is a serving AND the price is quite high.

2010 Hood to Coast – The Return of Black Flag
September 14th, 2010
20 years ago, I was part of a team that was pulled together at the last minute to run the 1990 Hood to Coast Relay, a 1000 team, 200 mile journey from Mt Hood to the town of Seaside, Oregon where Lewis and Clark ended their journey. Teams are made up of 12 runners who run in order 1-12 an average of 6 miles each before repeating the order again and then again a third time. All runners average about 18 miles. The five time defending champions in 1990 were "The Killer Bees." We named ourselves "Black Flag" with the expressed goal of exterminating the Killer Bees.

Pinktober is B101.5 Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
Powered by Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center.
Breast cancer remains one of the most common malignancies of women. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that there will be more than 300,000 new cases diagnosed this year. There will be nearly 40,000 deaths due to breast cancer, making it the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. The lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is 1 in 8, while the chance of dying from breast cancer is 1 in 36.
Today, there are nearly 3 million breast cancer survivors and early detection of breast cancer has resulted in improved survival rates. The ACS recommends frequent breast self-examinations, clinical breast exams by a health professional, and yearly routine mammograms. Patients considered at high risk for breast cancer, such as those with other family members with the disease, may benefit from more frequent exams or additional tests, such as MRI.
Breast cancer remains a significant health challenge. Patients are advised to seek a cancer center which offers a multi-disciplinary approach to cancer management. The new Spotsylvania Regional Cancer Center, in partnership with VCU Massey Cancer Center, provides such an opportunity. The facility is located adjacent to Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center at 4600 Spotsylvania Parkway behind Cosner Corner shopping area. For more information, contact 540-498-4804.

Chevy Cavalier Fuel System Problems
I bought this car a few months ago, since then it has started idling rough at times. Occasionally when I come to a stop it almost feels as if the car is lungeing (sorry if I mispelled it) while I've got the brake on. Other times it will just idle really rough and sometimes die on me when I come to a stop. The engine light comes on and goes off ever few days and when I had it checked it's showing a misfire. I've had the plugs changed, had injector cleaner run through it, and am considering having new fuel injector put on. Any suggestions?? I hate spending a couple hundred dollars on an injector and not knowing if this is the problem. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks
kim25 Posts: 2The Chevrolet dealership did the exact same thing to me. Every mechanic I take it to is unsure of what it is and then they start guessing what it might be. I just can't afford replacing hundred dollar parts not knowing for sure if it would help. One mechanic assured me that it needed a new coil ($200 parts/labor), so I had it replaced just hoping it might fix it... it didn't help the running part one bit, but the check engine light hasn't come on anymore?? I had heard that these were good, economical cars, but from my experience they aren't worth a crap. Apparently I have bought a lemon--just my luck!
Anyone needing to buy a cavalier for a good price :lemon: -
tedebear Posts: 832You said that you had the plugs changed. How about the plug wires? They are not all that difficult to change and if you change one at a time it is impossible to connect the new one to the wrong location. A bad plug wire can certainly cause a misfire. I'm surprised that no one suggested this when you had new plugs put in or the coil replaced.
A quality set of wires isn't too expensive, compared to what you've spent already. Don't pay a dealer or shop to do this at the rate of $80-$100/hr. Get a friend to help you with it for free. Don't forget to add a small dab of dielectric grease in the boots to make the wires easier to remove the next time.
Also, I'd recommend putting a can of gas additive into the tank to remove any water that might be causing problems. -
sxybldman Posts: 2Daughter just bought a 1999 cavalier 2dr coupe got in car fuel level guage read full drove to work today on the way home ran out of gas put gas in car it started but guage still reads full only put 3 gallons in does she need a new fuel pump or could it be something else. Please help
sparky2888 Posts: 1Check with the previous owners and see if they replaced the instrument cluster in the car. The 99 has a different sending unit than all other year cavaliers and if it was replaced or the sending unit was replaced this could be your problem. I ran into the same problem with my 99 when I tried to replace the cluster for a cluster with a tach out of a different year cavalier.
fisherofmen Posts: 3I have a 2001 cavalier that I bought new. it has about 215,000 miles on the clock and still runs good. The engine has started to miss from time to time going down the road. I have taken it to a mechanic whom I think I can trust but he tells me that he scans it for trouble codes but nothing comes up. Has anyone had the same trouble and got it fixed? I would like to keep my cavalier for many more miles

xmeister Posts: 1At wits end.... A friend of mine bought a 2003 cavi about 4 months ago, car ran good up until a few weeks ago. Then on a trip to Ohio the Check engine light came on and stayed on but otherwise seemed to run OK, She was worried to keep driving the car that way so we went to autozone and had it checked out......the guy said it was "possible" the "Mass air flow sensor" was dirty, turns out there is no such sensor on the cavalier. Long story short, the car developed an acceleration problem, went to another place and paid $70.00 for a diognoses, they said it was the fuel pressure regulator, another $120.00 parts and labor. Ran fine and no light for about a week, then same problems, took it back and they told us that from the regulator being bad problably ruined the O2 sensor (not which one) wanted another $130.00. I decided to change it myself but when we left there the "light" was out..... Idles fine but don't want to take gas right away on acceleration (bogs down)......can anyone tell me whats going on here ? PLEASE !
phillters Posts: 1I have a 04 cavalier that was running fine. It has 134000+ on it currently. I was driving a long and made a left turn and car started to bogs. Pulled over and shut car off, but then it restarted but was running ruff and then it died. tried starting car and it seem that it wanted to start but just couldn't. If I wait about 3 minutes, it will start, but die again after 2 seconds and then won't start again until I wait about 5 mins, but then dies and on and on. Same thing again. I know there's gas in the car, I keep my tank full, and I just filled it yesterday and only ran around about a little over 100 miles since then. Anyone have this problem lately and get it repaired? Don't want to be taken for a ride and spend hundreds trying to have it figured out. Thanks for any help that can be offered.
yoruichi715 Posts: 1Hello
I have a 2005 Chevy Cavalier, Now a month ago it started making a mild clicking noise somewhere around the spark plug section of the engine... Now we, knew that it might have been linked to getting the oil change, but life came at us fast and didn't get a chance to before this happened. so last tuesday after putting gas in and going to the store right across the street. My fiance' had mentioned how when he had to pretty much floor it get any pressure and momentum... so we stopped at the nearest auto parts store and after talking with a son of mechanic and their people... it devised we can try to take a look at spark plugs. and of course they definitely needed to be changed. changed all of them (the clicking noise still persisted but not louder or anything) So he decided to drive it around the store to make sure it was fixed... The car just stopped and now anytime we attempt to start the car it will start to crank but won't turn over... we decided to try to do the oil to eliminate some of the issues but the bolt is so rounded down we would need special equipment to get it off... now we're stuck with an immobile car and a vague clue to what the problem may be... I have been hearing fuel jector or fuel pump issue. Is any suggestions to help troubleshoot so we can fix this issue? Thanks

Love this dress
This dress fits like a glove. I initially was going to get a small because I'm only 5 feet and 110lbs but went with a medium instead and found the fit was perfect. Not too tight or too big. I was going for a dark vampy look and this dress was perfect. Material is good quality and stretchy. One of my favorite little black dresses. Dress is a little on the pricey side but worth it.
