SEATTLE – As part of its ongoing efforts to encourage window sellers to be transparent in their marketing, the Attorney General's Office reached a settlement this week with Mukilteo-based Penguin Windows.
"Our case alleged that Penguin's claims just didn't fly," said Assistant Attorney General Jack Zurlini. "Our agreement sets out in black and white the acceptable marketing practices in the window sales industry and those bad practices that will put companies on thin ice."
In its complaint, the Attorney General's Office accused Penquin of misrepresenting its products, making false claims about the energy savings customers would achieve, and misleading consumers into thinking that the in-home appointments they set up with Penguin were something other than sales calls.
Penguin denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement filed in King County Superior Court but agreed to restrictions on its marketing tactics.
Penguin Windows also does business as Statewide Energy Systems, Statewide Home Improvement, Statewide Vinyl, Statewide Windows and Statewide Window and Siding.
The state's complaint says Penguin's advertisement claims that its windows would save homeowners at least 40 percent on their monthly heating and cooling bills are false and that Penguin had no reasonable basis to support them. The Attorney General's Office alleged that the company's practice of asking homeowners to sign a letter agreeing not to cancel the sale interferes with a law that gives customers three business days to cancel a sale made during an in-home presentation.
Penguin agreed to terms that include prohibiting it from making misrepresentations to gain entry into a home, failing to substantiate advertising claims, interfering with cancellation rights and continuing in-home sales presentations after a customer has clearly stated that he or she wishes it to end.
The Attorney General's Office agreed to suspend $25,000 in civil penalties provided Penguin abides with consumer protection laws in the future. The company will pay $95,000 in attorneys' fees and legal costs.
The case is similar to one the Attorney General's Office settled in September 2009 with Evans Glass, of Seattle. The office's Consumer Protection Division sent letters to more than 30 window and home siding installation businesses last fall, as part of an effort to educate them about high-pressure pitches, inflated prices and fraudulent endorsements that are illegal and have the potential to damage the industry's reputation.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Max Courtesy Post -Adopted!!
Facts about Max Courtesy Post -Adopted!
- Breed: Cocker Spaniel
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Max Courtesy Post -Adopted!'s Info...
I am already neutered, purebred, and up to date with shots.
I got adopted to a great home! This is a Courtesy Posting Only: Charlotte Cocker Rescue of NC is not to be held responsible for the health or temperament of this dog. Max is currently being fostered by his owner who rescued him from a shelter, but is now unable to keep him. These nice folks would like to find him a great new "forever" home. If you are interested in adopting Max, please contact: Rebecca, at: email@example.com. There is a small adoption fee which will be discussed when you inquire, and you will be required to fill out an application.
Max is a very handsome, 4 year old, neutered cocker boy. His life has been really hard and he is lucky to be alive. At his first home, he was kept in a breeding place that ended up sending him to a high kill shelter. Then he got lucky and was adopted, but they brought him back. Then he got another chance to have a home and this nice lady came along and thought he was just beautiful. She adopted him and took him home to this very nice family.
Max is currently under foster care with this very nice family until he can find a new home. They would love to keep him, but he does not get along with their other dogs due to some jealousy issues when their dogs are given attention and he is in the same room with them. Max does not seem to enjoy the company of any other dogs, and does not like "big dogs," so it will be best for him to be adopted into a family where he will be the only dog and can be the center of your life. This family thinks he is a great dog, loving, sweet, and very affectionate. And, he loves to fetch and cuddle too. He is also micro-chipped too.
Will you please give Max the chance that he deserves to find his new "forever" home? The new family must be willing to fill out an application and pay a small adoption fee. Please help Max to find his way to a new home real soon. If you are interested in adopting this special cocker boy, please contact his foster momma, Rebecca, at: firstname.lastname@example.com. She will discuss the details and adoption fee with you and tell you how you can fill out an application. Please help Max to find his perfect home. Maybe it is with you.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Max Courtesy Post -Adopted!, a Kannapolis Cocker Spaniel dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Cocker Spaniel for sale in Kannapolis, or seeking a Cocker Spaniel dog from a breeder in Kannapolis.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Kannapolis already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Kannapolis breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Cocker Spaniel breeders who help with Cocker Spaniel rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Kannapolis paves the way for another one to be saved.

Sunday Horoscopes
- ARIES: March 21st - April 19th
There's a carefree, almost childlike atmosphere to today that suits you just fine, Aries. You've been working extraordinarily hard lately and need to relax and unwind a bit. This is a day for doing cartwheels across an open field. You aren't the only one who feels this way - it's positively contagious. Make the most of this wonderful feeling. This is a day for play not work. - TAURUS: April 20th - May 20th
This is a day for rest and relaxation, Taurus. Take advantage of the calm atmosphere to center yourself and focus on what's important in your life. You've been going at full speed, and it's possible that your family feels somewhat neglected. Spend some quality time with loved ones. They miss you and will welcome your company. Other concerns come and go, but family is forever. - GEMINI: May 21st - June 21st
You're on top of the world today, Gemini. Enjoy the view! You're unstoppable. Friends and family alike revel in your good mood. You're materially and spiritually generous, and by day's end people could be lined up to partake of the bounty. Try to curb your enthusiasm and use some discretion. It would be better to give more to a worthy few than give less to many. - CANCER: June 22nd - July 22nd
This dreamy day is tailor made to your sensibilities. You may find it hard to focus on the daily issues when you're caught up in your fantasies. Go ahead and give in to the day's dreamlike state. Write in your journal or spend some time rummaging around in the attic. You'll be amazed at what you find. Expect to spend hours looking through scrapbooks and reliving your childhood. - LEO: July 23rd - August 22nd
Your artistic side likes to mingle with people who are a shade off normal. You call them eccentric - other people call them crazy! From your viewpoint, the crazier the better! You feel such people add interest to the lives of anyone they come in contact with. Take a look in the mirror. You may see that you're such a person. Your energy and creativity add sparkle to others' lives. - VIRGO: August 23rd - September 22nd
You're conscientious where your health is concerned. You're one of the rare few who exercise and eat nutritious meals. Today you might want to expand your repertoire of medical remedies. If you've been struggling to shake a cold or allergy, consider some alternative medicines. They're moving more into the mainstream. Chinese herbs and acupuncture could just be what the New Age doctor ordered! - LIBRA: September 23rd - October 22nd
This is bound to turn into a silly day if you let it, Libra. Your best bet is to give in to the strange patterns at work. Communication seems blocked at every turn. You can expect technical difficulties like phone malfunctions or computer crashes. You and your mate will speak in two different languages. No one seems able to get a point across. Don't fight it. Just laugh. All will be normal again tomorrow. - SCORPIO: October 23rd - November 21st
This isn't a day to make firm commitments, Scorpio, especially concerning relationships. Today's atmosphere highlights unification and reconciliation, but don't take this as a sign that you're now bound for life. Proceed carefully before making any long-term decisions. If you're about to take a big step at work or in your personal life, try to delay your decision until your thoughts are clearer. - SAGITTARIUS: November 22nd - December 21st
You're so upbeat and optimistic by nature that it's difficult for you to accept certain failures. That may be what you're thinking today as you reflect on recent humanitarian efforts. Try not to take such a short-sighted attitude. You're making a difference, even though it may not always be apparent. Continue on this path. Ultimately, you will see how worthwhile the journey is. - CAPRICORN: December 22nd - January 19th
You're usually very good at concentrating and getting your chores done, even when chaos reigns around you. This likely won't be the case today. Even you will come under the influence of the erratic. It's too hard to get much done with all the commotion. Don't fret about your lack of productivity. This is one day. Relax and have some fun. Tomorrow you can get down to work. - AQUARIUS: January 20th - February 18th
You have strong psychic vision, Aquarius. Some people might say that you're prophetic, but your gift is a combination of creativity and intuition. You can use this to benefit others, and in fact have often done so. You're known for your good advice. Have some restraint today. People are listening closely to what you say. If you advise someone to do something crazy, they might do it! - PISCES: February 19th - March 20th
The element of water predominates today. You will likely be aware of it by the strong tides of feeling in your household, Pisces. Some family members may be unhappy. They may need more independence or look to you for more attention and affection. It's hard to strike the right balance, as you will discover. Do your best to satisfy everyone, making sure that your own needs don't get overlooked.

The Who's Roger Daltrey: 'Music is lacking lead singers'
The Who singer Roger Daltrey has said that he believes there is a real lack of lead singers amongst newer acts.
Speaking to the Press Association, Daltrey said that he believed music hadn't produced singers comparable to Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Mick Jagger and Rod Stewart and put the blame firmly on the shoulders of reality shows.
Asked about today's generation of lead singers, Daltrey replied: "A lot of the new people they choose on shows like American Idol and things like that - I don't ever hear lead singers. They always seem to choose to pick people that are great singers, fabulous singers, but they've never got the voice that makes a great lead singer."
The Who man did say there was one exception though and that was Adele, who he described as "the real deal."
He said of the '21' singer: "I mean, I love Adele. That's a lead singer, that's the real deal."
Daltrey also spoke about his inspiration for performing the Who's 1969 concept album 'Tommy' in its entirety earlier this summer, saying he felt it needed to be heard.
He added: 'I rediscovered how fabulous it is as a piece of music and I decided it needs to be heard. I loved the film, but it's Ken Russell's view of Tommy. The stage play was what it was, and that was Pete (Townshend) and (theatrical director) Des McAnuff's view of it. But to me it's always been the music that's important, and I can never get bored with that because it's brilliant."

The city adopted its FY14 budget by ordinance on June 25, 2013. The water utility anticipated revenues of $35,622 and expenditures of $80,622. Funds will be transferred from the Focus Energy (city electric utility) budget and from the administration and finance budget to subsidize utility costs. The budget is regularly reviewed and budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary. The overall budget is realistic and balanced. It includes the payroll and all other normal operating expenditures for a utility enterprise. The city has a utility bookkeeper and assistant who use QuickBooks and Excel to generate monthly financial statements. The city owns the electric utility and uses QuickBooks to document interoffice transfer of funds for electric usage. The city has a financial plan to purchase fuel throughout the year. There is a line item for equipment repair and maintenance in the budget, but there is not a separate account for repair and replacement funds.

Comment: |
The primary operator is certified in Water Distribution 1 and Water Treatment 1, both due to expire on December 31, 2014. The secondary operator has a Water Distribution Provisional due to expire on December 31, 2013. The city has the Community Sanitation Facilities, Operations and Maintenance Manual from Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) that includes the preventative maintenance plan for the water utility. The operators routinely spot check the water treatment plant and monitor the water storage tank. Last winter the water storage tank suffered an overflow. The overflow produced ice that blocked the utility ladder to the access door on the top of the water tank. This overflow occurred during a time that all operators were off site and weather prevented their return to the community. Operators do not hold safety meetings and there is no safety log to record safety meetings. There have been no major outages of the utility due to managerial issues. The utility is operating as proposed and is a Water Treatment Class 1 water system. The operators provide the mayor with updates and the mayor then informs the council when policy making decisions are needed. The water utility is not listed on the April 2013 Significant Non-Compiler (SNC) list. The utility does not have an inventory control list or a critical spare parts list. |
RUBA Activities for the Coming Quarter: |
Newly assigned RUBA staff has been in contact with the Ouzinkie mayor regarding personnel issues and tax compliance. A site visit will be scheduled to coincide with other Kodiak region travel in October or November. |

Long time luker, first time poster here. I'm having a hard time finding good plants to fill a strip along the house after some remodeling/landscaping. The strip is between 2 and 3 feet wide, and gets about 3 hours of sun (mid-morning until 1pm or so). See picture. I was hoping to put in drought-tolerant plants, especially because I don't want much water that close to the house, but I'm finding that most plants that like it dry, also like it sunny and hot. Ideally I would love to plant something along the lines of rosemary and lavander mixed in with a few rocks, but they seem to really want full sun. Any suggestions on some kind of similar plants that might be a good fit for that space? I'm in coastal San Diego, so that's zone 10a or so (summers never get very hot either--around 80F). Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Is that possibly a window you might have open for fragance? I think goodwin creek lavender will do ok there. 3 dwarf bottlebrushes 'little john' would work also and attract hummingbirds with a hummer feeder hanging would give you plenty to watch. For lower plants western columbine would work also and they will self seed and propogate. |
You could also try succulents. Many do not take full sun like cacti do. Kalanchoes and echeverias and some sedums might like it there. |
Like lgteacher, I would do Echeverias/Graptoverias and other little succulents such as small hybrid Aloes and Aeoniums. Low maintenance and they are happy with just a little sun and no more. Hummingbirds love the flowers, too. If you pick like 4 different kinds and repeat them in groups, it makes for a very cool border. |

Ecotech MP40WES Features
- New Standards for Flow The VorTech line features low-profile, broad-flow pumps for aquariums ranging from 2.5 gallons to 1,000+ gallons (9.5 to 3,800+ liters). Every product from EcoTech Marine is backed by our industry-leading customer service.
- Watch Your Reef, Not Your Pump The VorTech is beautiful in its simplicity. The motor is outside of the aquarium, meaning the VorTech may be positioned where it is least visible.
- Eco-friendly External motor mounting means less heat in the water, reducing the need for cooling, and the advanced brushless motor design reduces electricity consumption.
- Completely Safe No electrical components ever touch the water.
- Versatile Flow Rates Adjustable flow rates create a more natural circulation for your unique ecosystem.
- Healthy Undertow A natural undertow is created along the sand bed, leading to a healthier ecosystem.
- Quick Cleanup Wet-side cleaning is a breeze.
Wireless Enabled
The MP40wES comes equipped with the EcoTech RF wireless module pre-installed.
The current wireless capability of EcoTech products allows communication between "w" enabled EcoTech products. Communication allows for advanced modes and features in which synchronized flow or coordinated flow and lighting conditions can be created.
In addition to exciting modes such as Wave Auto Tune and the EcoSmart multi-pump modes, the wireless range of the EcoSmart wirelessly enabled drivers is significant. This allows for the controllers of slave pumps to be located further from sight or even in separate locations
Operational Modes
Constant Speed Mode
Pump runs continuously at a constant speed which can be set by the user. EcoSmart Nutrient Transport Mode (NTM) - A two phase program to promote maximum health and nutrient export, as well as increased growth for corals. Alternates between a resonant standing wave and a surge effect to stir up and export nutrients. EcoSmart Tidal Swell Mode (TSM) - Creates a harmonic balance in your aquarium reminiscent of the changing flow conditions that would be found in nature. Flow varies from left to right, right to left, calm, and ends with a great surge.
Reef Crest Random Mode
Reef Crest Random Mode simulates the high-energy conditions of a natural reef crest environment.
Lagoonal Random Mode
Simulates the gentler reef zone found in a natural lagoon.
Short Pulse Mode
Allows for wave pulse timings between 0.3 and two seconds, enabling the creation of FAST alternating flow throughout the tank. Use this mode to create a resonant standing wave.
Long Pulse Mode
Allows for wave pulse timings of between 2 seconds and 60 seconds, enabling the creation of slow alternating flow throughout the tank.
Feed Mode
Slows down pump to allow user to feed aquarium. User can select the duration and speed for Feed Mode.
Night Mode
Automatically reduce speed and operates continuously at that speed for a period of time during the night. User can select the duration and speed for Night Mode.
Battery Backup Mode
When used with our battery backup accessory, the VorTech pump will switch to Battery Backup Mode in the event of a power outage and will operate at a user set speed.
The LED's on your EcoSmart driver will count down to indicate how much power is available within the battery. Auto-Dim - LED's are turned off and display knob dimmed significantly, but pump functions in its current mode. User can program how long after use before the driver enters Auto-Dim. On/Off Switch - Tap the on/off switch to turn off and turn on a pump. Hold this button to turn off all pumps in a master/slave group. Tap any pump in the groups' on/off switch and that pump will turn back on.
Quick Overview

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
Japanese Ambassador Tsuruoka1 asked to see me today. His concern was over the Japanese draft resolution (telegram No. 6942 of 29 April) affirming responsibility of states to act in accordance with charter principles. contains text of aide-memoire left with Department today by United States Embassy concerning discussion in New York between yourself and Mr Fisher.
[matter omitted]
- Tsuruoka acknowledged the danger that would follow once he put in any draft. He said that the USSR were not pleased because they might have to restate their position in favour of a simple overall ban on nuclear weapons which they did not want to do. (Fisher of the USA later told me that the United States were trying strongly to dissuade the Japanese from going ahead with their idea).
- In order to meet some objections that the proposed Japanese draft was too vague in its reference to 'principles', Tsuruoka had in mind to rephrase operative paragraph 2 in a way which would 'call upon all nuclear weapon states to refrain from use of nuclear weapons or the threat of such use in any way contrary to their obligations under the charter'. I pointed out that the use of such language would defeat the first purpose which Tsuruoka had described, namely that of embracing Communist China in the scope of a text.
- Tsuruoka said that he would continue in his efforts to find a suitable text but he was not in a hurry to put it in. Finally, he said he might see whether the cosponsors of the twentytwo power resolution3 to endorse the draft treaty would be prepared to incorporate in their draft resolution some of the points contained in his, in which case Japan might cosponsor the 'endorsing' draft. (I have the impression that he is not too enthusiastic about the whole task.)
- When Japanese are able to clarify their thinking we shall let you know and seek your views on what attitude we should take.

An era of Camp Morasha history came to an end on erev Rosh Hashanah when Rabbi Pesach Oratz, zt"l, passed away following his 46th summer in camp. Each summer, Rabbi Oratz touched the hearts, minds and souls of campers of all ages. No one was too simple, as he taught little ones in Day Camp, or too advanced, as he taught Machzor Aleph, Machzor Bet, the Kollels and Staff, to be able to learn from him and be inspired by him. Rabbi Oratz was gentle, kind and good humored; sharp, wise, and insightful; a tremendous talmid chacham with shas and poskim at his fingertips; as well as opinionated, outspoken and tolerant. He influenced generations of Morasha campers, in some cases having taught two or three generations of the same family. The extended Morasha family, campers and alumni, feels this loss deeply and extends our condolences to his wife, Chani, and his entire family, all of whom were campers at Morasha as well. As a living tribute to Rabbi Oratz's memory, a page has been established on the Morasha website where you can sign up to learn Tanach le-illui nishmato, and where you can share stories and memories of our beloved teacher. On Monday evening, November 2 at 7:30 PM EST (the 46th day following his death, commemorating his 46 years at Morasha), there will be a live webcast during which the siyyum will take place and representatives of camp will share memories and words of Torah.

But that's not really the key to happiness. The key is to be richer than everybody else we know. It sounds cruel, but it's scientifically supported. According to Robert Frank, a professor of economics at Cornell, we care more about what other people earn than what we earn ourselves. A pay raise buys very little happiness if our income rank remains the same as before the raise. In other words, it's better for our happiness to be a big fish in a small pond. Yet there's a flaw in this theory: While it's good for our happiness to be ahead of others, we can do almost nothing to prevent others from catching up and bringing us back down to earth again.

Oct 7, 2011 1:52 AM by Ariel Wesler
The anti-Wall Street protests have made their way to San Luis Obispo. The "Occupy Wall Street" protests began in New York City on September 17. Since then hundreds of demonstrations have popped up across the country. Many people are expressing their anger over corporate greed and economic inequality.
"You are the 99%! You are the 99 percent," protestors shouted.
They marched through Farmer's Market making their message loud and clear.
"If you paid taxes, you paid more than GE," they chanted.
People have poured into the streets in cities like Portland, Oregon, Washington DC, and Los Angeles as part of a growing grassroots campaign.
"This is spreading across the country and the fact that it's in San Luis Obispo is incredible," said Sean Ellenson, a Cal Poly student, who was part of the rally.
While the turn out was smaller on the Central Coast, the messages are the same.
"There's an imbalance, a severe imbalance and it needs to be changed," said Jeremy Kastner of San Luis Obispo.
"People's needs not corporate greed," they shouted.
The "Occupy" movements aren't targeting the government as much as corporations, who demonstrators believe have all the control and aren't paying their fair share.
"They're way too rich to even care. They're getting a lot of money," Kastner said.
"Meanwhile, our education, we're cutting more and more and more and more," Ellenson said.
But Marc Scheivle, who was enjoying Farmer's Market says the demonstrators have the wrong idea about big business.
"They build bigger companies, more jobs. You take the money away from them by taxing them, they can't do that. They're going to hoard their money," Scheivle said.
"If you're not the richest one percent that's making billions of dollars, millions and millions of dollars a year, then you're part of this," Ellenson said.
The message seems to be getting through to the White House. President Obama said the U.S. must have a strong financial sector in order to grow and be successful. However, he said Thursday the financial regulation bill he supported will ensure tougher oversight of the industry.

Money can buy you performance and, hence, happiness when it comes to the contents within your garage. The general notion is the more you're willing to spend, the less likely are you to slip into depression every time you are on the road. But with the Ducati 795, the Rs 5.9 lakh ex-showroom, Maharashtra price gets you all of 87 bhp and 7.8 kg from its 803cc engine. With a kerb weight of 167 kg, that power-to-weight ratio of 520 bhp per tonne is astounding, making the 87 horses seem like they were fed a diet of whey protein and steroids, galloping from naught to the tonne in 5.6 seconds.
The Audi, on the other hand, might seem a bit pricier. Rs 27.33 lakh, also ex-showroom, Maharashtra gets you 170 bhp and an extra set of wheels, among other things. Although in terms of the power-to-weight ratio, 115 bhp per tonne might seem lame in comparison to the Ducati, but hurling 1,470 kilos of air-conditioned studio apartment forward to a 100 kph from standstill changes your perspective almost instantly — all of 9.5 seconds to be precise. Yes, that was the 32.6 kg of torque talking, thank you.
Well, by now you probably have guessed that this duo certainly have the potential to raise hell. But more so with the Ducati. That power-to-weight ratio equals Tinker Bell strapped to a pair of V10 rockets, so the Monster needs some serious stopping power. To help keep you from sprouting wings and dressing up like Simi Garewal, the 795 has two 320 mm discs grabbed by 4-piston Brembo radially mounted callipers at the fore. The aft gets a rather deadpan 245 mm disc with a twin piston calliper that does the biting, also a Brembo unit.

The new football season opens and the transfer window shuts, and now it's all down to the football finally, at least until January when everyone once again goes crazy over unrealistic marquee signings or watching their club being linked with dozens of new names each day. Did you know that Liverpool were going to sign 147 different players this window? I can only imagine how many Manchester City were "certain" to add to their squad. There were several big headlines, notably Bale to Madrid and Ozil to a different part of north London, but a lot of it left me with some head scratching.
Spurs bolstered their squad with a host of players from the Bale war chest, notably Soldado, Lamela, and Paulinho, but the question remains whether they replaced Bale's quality. After all, last season Bale scored more goals from outside the area than any other player in Europe's top 5 leagues (goals outside the area being the most difficult to come by), and yet Spurs only scored the joint 5th most goals in the Premier League (behind United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool – the old top 4). Certainly Spurs have more players to help get the ball in the box now, as well as some new finishers to replace the fading Adebayor and Defoe, but I'm not convinced the scales remain balanced. Even if they do, perhaps they're still only good enough for 5th? Time will tell, but my suspicion is that Spurs will take time to settle into life without Bale.
Chelsea and City threw money around as usual, with some big names arriving in the Premier League. But in the past some big foreign names made little impact in the league with its different levels of pace and power, and different style of last-ditch defending. The real question is whether adding big names to teams already comprised of only big names actually makes those teams stronger; the failed Galacticos experiment being a prime example. More expensive to maintain, certainly, but stronger? Changes in management at both clubs too will affect early season performance, and while Mourinho remains revered he would himself admit that he has in general performed below expectation since leaving Chelsea, and therefore has some ground to make up. One of the surprises of the transfer window were the rumours of Mata being disillusioned, and of course there were the annual fantasy links of Torres back to Liverpool (and somehow able to recapture his 2007 form simply by touching the "This is Anfield" sign), but I'm sure that Mourinho will manage those situations well enough now that he has E'too. Regardless, City and Chelsea are the teams to beat now, and few have picked other clubs to finish ahead of either of them. That comes with a certain amount of pressure as well, of course, and the disinterested manner in which City finished last season and appear to have started this campaign suggests that for all their wealth they remain a group of individuals rather than a team.
The big transfer shock was Arsenal making a large bid for a top player, and then actually handing over the money. Less of a shock was that the player was not a defender. One day I am sure that Wenger will realize that sharpening an already sharp sword doesn't help you win a battle where you must also rely on your threadbare jerkin and rusted armour. While I fully expect Ozil to make the Gunners a flat track bully not unlike Liverpool last season, it should be kept in mind that Liverpool finished nigh on 30 points behind the league leaders; attack is only one aspect of football. You need Henry AND Viera to win the league… Besides, for 45m pounds in an exceptional attacking player they could just have kept Van Persie.
What should have happened was that Ozil should have gone to the red half of Manchester. There he would fill the gaping hole left by the loss of key players to age or transfers. Without a creative midfield, United will live and die on the performances of Van Persie, Rooney and to a lesser extent Hernandez and Valencia. Their aging and ponderous centre backs are not protected by a solid defensive midfielder either; their Stoke-like defending of everyone inside the goal posts while on the edge of the 18 yard box against the pace of Sturridge and the trickery of Coutinho should have scared the daylights out of their supporters last weekend; you can't expect to get away with that all season. The purchase of Fellaini fills neither of these voids, and outside their opening fixture United have been disappointing.
Which brings us lastly to Liverpool.
Retain Suarez? Check (Add a 30 goal forward to a team that won 6 of their last 7 league games, with 1 draw and only 1 goal against? For free? Best deal of the window.)
Sign more wide players and sell Downing? Check (Aspas, Moses)
Sell loose cannon Shelvey and get a replacement? Check (Alberto)
Get another left back? Check (Cissokho)
Sign another centre back? Check Check! (Sakho Ilori)
Trade a fading Reina for a real shot stopper? Check (Mignolet)
Refuel Henderson's third lung? Check
Win some of the opening fixtures against difficult opposition? CHECK!!
While few people expect Liverpool to remain at the summit of the league long enough to make a difference, it is notable that the club addressed every weakness in the squad barring a backup for the irreplaceable Lucas Leiva. In terms of the transfer window, where United did nothing, Arsenal spent money mainly to appease the fans, and Spurs traded a powerhouse player for some second stringers, Liverpool clearly did the best business. How they go from there is now down to the players and the manager, but the way their team spirit has come shining through in the opening fixtures suggests a wind of change around L4.
A change for the better.
Here's the league table for this calendar year. Arsenal played in a game in hand on January the first, so in order to compare apples with apples I included all the fixtures from that round even if some of those games happened to fall in the last days of December.
Club P W D L GF GA GD CS Pts
Man U. 22 14 5 3 42 17 +25 11 47
Arsenal 22 14 4 4 38 21 +17 8 46
Liverpool 22 13 6 3 46 17 +29 13 45
Man City 22 14 3 5 40 21 +19 12 45
Spurs 22 13 6 3 34 22 +12 6 45
Chelsea 22 13 5 4 40 22 +18 8 44
CS: Clean Sheets
Only 3 points separate the top 6 teams after 22 matches, so it's all to play for with no real favourites for the crown. With Liverpool having most goals, most clean sheets, joint fewest goals against over the period, and third on that table, it's hard not to be optimistic about getting back into the top 4.

The founders of the Camaraderie Foundation, Michael and Marnie Waldrop, faced trying times when Michael was deployed to Afghanistan to serve in Operation Enduring Freedom. They found counseling to be vital in the reintegration of their marriage post deployment. While deployed in Afghanistan, Michael saw six of his fellow soldiers face divorce. Michael has observed a number of service members who could have benefitted from professional and spiritual counseling, but avoided seeking it out, due to the stigma often attached to it. Many service members struggle psychologically with the effects of war and battlefield experiences. Troubling issues include Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Separation, and Traumatic Brain Injury, among others. The Camaraderie Foundation believes that private counseling and spiritual community can alleviate the issue and encourage service members to seek help, without feeling judged or isolated by doing so.

I love creating custom designed albums which are a work of art. I don't use pre-designed templates, or online programs to do this. But a combination of a traditional album and scrapbooking to create a hybrid album. I use earth friendly products and include you're your details such as: flower, color, invitations, etc. In the end, I feel that your wedding should be remembered as a day. From start to finish, not the hour you stood together, but the day you held each others hands, the day you first kissed as husband and wife, the day you fell in love all over again. I love what I do, and I hope you'll see that. You can reach me at 315-727-2734 or web www.adorevideo.net.

Shane (DVD)
A National Catholic Register "Video/DVD Picks" film.
By Steven D. Greydanus
George Stevens's Shane defined the archetypal Western hero who is not a cowboy or a sheriff, but a wandering gunslinger who comes upon oppression in a lawless frontier and sides with the oppressed. If the Western is the quintessential American mythology, Shane (Alan Ladd in his best-known role) is the Western's great knight-samurai archetype: stern in battle, mild with women and children, siding with the wronged, honoring marriage.
Shane is self-consciously mythic, in part because the story is seen through the eyes of a young boy, Joey (Brandon De Wilde), the son of a homesteader couple (Jean Arthur and Van Heflin) beleaguered by a ruthless cattle baron (Emile Meyer). The viewer sees Shane as Joey does, but also sees Shane's consciousness of how Joey sees him, highlighting the disconnect between the boy's hero worship and what the man knows himself to be.
The depiction of violence in Shane warrants mention. While an extended barroom brawl (eagerly witnessed by Joey from a safe hiding place) is ultimately as cheerfully romanticized as any in the genre, the film takes a notably different view of gun violence. Shane is overtly critical of the romantic view of guns in many Westerns — an attitude Joey exemplifies. The number of bullets actually fired in the film is remarkably small — especially compared with the number of punches thrown in the brawl scene — and each bullet has enormous impact.

AIDS prevention efforts help avert associated medical costs.
By adopting extensive prevention efforts, the United States has prevented an estimated 350,000 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and averted $125 billion in medical costs. Although HIV fell from the list of top 10 leading causes of death domestically in 1997, it remains a public health concern.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 56,000 people become infected annually—that's one person every 9.5 minutes. Approximately 1.1 million Americans live with the virus, although only 25 percent know they have the disease. The rate of infection among racial and ethnic minorities and men who have sex with men is disproportionately high. African Americans accounted for 45 percent of all new HIV diagnoses, although they represent only 13 percent of the U.S. population. In fact, one in 16 African American men will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. Men who have sex with men account for 48 percent of those living with HIV and 53 percent of newly diagnosed HIV cases. They represent the only groups deemed at high risk for exposure in which the new infection rate is increasing, and African American men who have sex with men accounted for 52 percent of all new infections reported.
