Kia Sportage Maintenance and Repair

mattman88 Posts: 8I finally found out that there wasn't a thermostat in it! This caused the temp of the car to cool very fast when i was driving, so somehow this made it downshift into third when it went below a certain temp. I put a new thermostat in and now it runs like new. I can't believe I spent so much time and money trying to fix the transmission when it was a 7 dollar part.
pappasteve Posts: 3I'm trying to help a friend fix his car. It idles rough and the CEL was on. The codes stored were PO171, PO300, PO303, PO304. I cleared the codes and hooked my code scanner. The code PO304 came back fairly soon. I have not checked the fuel pressure yet but plan on it Thur. if not raining. The thing that concerns me is that the short term fuel trim was a positive 25% at idle and might go down to positive 14 at higher rpm's. It never went to zero or a negative number like it should. The long term fuel trim was at zero all the time. The O2 sensor was going up and down some.
Does this sound like a fuel pressure problem or possibly a bad vacumm leak? :confuse: -
jsmash1on1 Posts: 6I had the same problem. There is a pre-catylitic converter, and a catylitic converter on this Kia. I was told to disconnect the pre-cat from the manifold to see if it is melted inside if so very good chance that you will have to replace both, but try the pre-cat first. I've seen them on ebay for a little less than $200 new.

wolfpack2008 Posts: 1I have a 2002 kia sportage. I has been running rough so, I changed the plugs, wires and the fuel filter. While I was working on it I noticed a vacuume line missing from the intake manifold. Their is two vacuum lines one above the other one. The top one goes to an air canster. I covered up the port with missing hose with a piece of tape and the car ran fine. Where does the other one go to?
Butt3rflz Posts: 2I have a 2000 Sportage 4x4. It is stalling out on me. There is no rhyme or reason to the stalling. Just simply dies while driving, with in the first 3-5 minutes on the road. Takes a few times to get the car to start after it dies.
I have replaced the following:
O2 Sensor
Fuel Filter
Boots(they are part of the plugs/wires i guess?)
I dont know what else to do? it wont show on diagnostics what the problem is?
Any Suggestions ???
Thanks! :sick: -
judojohn Posts: 1If it runs fine after the belt broke, the damage is most likely minimal. the Kia has an interference engine. lubrication would or should not be a problem for as short as the engine would be running when the belt fails. the best way to figure out damage internally w/o an overhaul is an oil analyis.
mdehari Posts: 3I have 2001 Kia Sportage 4x4 automatic.........I had the same problem for months I thought and afraid some will brake on the transfer case or transmission!! But I found the problem: I feel bad you took the hubs out ; to buy Manual ones they are not very Chip If you still have the parts I would put them back on .
I found out by Researching the problem that :when I was driving the car on the 2 wheel drive I had the same lurch or feeling like I was going over a bump;
What is happening is that the front wheels are turning with the hubs locked because there is no vacuum shot off from the vacuum solenoid which is located next to the vacuum tank.So I did took the Vacuum solenoid out and cleaned out with some wd40 spray and did air blow out.What happen was The Vacuum for the front 4x4 hubs was on at all the time ;with cleaning the vacuum solenoid started working properly and when I shift to 2 wheels the front wheels are free from been locked in...............so clean the vacuum solenoid and make sure there is no vacuum going through when you shift to 2w drive you can check it by taking the small hose off and On from the solenoid. -
jim298 Posts: 9when you put it in 4wd you shift the transfer case into mode selected. a solonoid also closes ans supplys vacume to the outer driveshaft and through an arrangement of seals. vacume is routed through the centre of the shaft wich is opento the hub. there is a bellows in the outside of the hub witch draws the locking ring into the axle drive ring locking the hub to the rtor. works good till the seals start leaking. if you always want the hubs locked or it wont work when you really need it remove bolts from hub and remove hub take out the snap ring with a scewdriver remove drive it will probably pop out remove spring remove locking collar reassemble spring first then locking collar then drive install snap ring. now the hub will allways be locked. you have to lock both hubs if you dont 4wd will still not work and you will dammage diferential. if you want to fix it for good order a set of warn manual hubs 26 spline pn 60247. be sure to disconnect vacume line an plug as vacume leak probably exists now and fuel milage will suffer power loss and miss will develop when in 4wd. really easy domt be afraid my daugter can do it.
mdehari Posts: 3Yes I started from the Seals I did Change inner and outer seal with needle bearing which was shut........did put it together and after i did find the vacuum solenoid problem everything is working great right now; we had so much snow and ice here in Wisconsin and I had so much use for itso faris woeking great . Seems like now really locks in very tight and wont miss. once I go 2W drive Vacuum shuts off totally and if you lift the front wheels on the Jack axels turn so easy by hands which I couldn't do that before when Vacuum was present.
Hope will stay this way otherwise I will go for Manual Hubs.
I was experimenting with the one side hub: had the Vacuum on without the bolts on I couldn't even move the hub off with Vacuum present.....Seem there is a lot of presure from that little whole for the Vacuum. -
selenarp Posts: 3I just bought a 2000 kia portage with 80,000 miles yeterday and I am having problems already. This morning the car stalled at the car wash and would tried to turn over but wouldn't. IT wa running fine the day before. My mother jump started the battery and I took it to wal mart automotive in which they charged the battery. Now it stalls while I am driving in hich I have to pull over and crank it to start again. It starts immediately but it scars me that it stalls in traffic. Also, it is now stalling when switching gears, it is an automatic. When accelerating, it seems to delay when moving to the next gear. This has happened a couple of times, so has the stalling. I have three kids and bought this car in hopes of stability, my other car was even scarier! Any suggestions? I don't have codes because I can't afford the tester since spending my money on this car. No lights come on on the conole such as check engine light.
pappasteve Posts: 3
mattman88 Posts: 8I have a 1996 automatic Sportage EX 4x4.
My backup lights and the lights that display what gear its in haven't worked since I bought it a few years ago. I checked the fuses and they were all good and I checked the bulbs out and they were good as well. I'm not sure if there is a fuse somewhere else for the backup lights or maybe there is some sort of switch/relay broken that tells it its in gear? Any advice would be really helpful.

selenarp Posts: 3I have just left the shop where they replaced the spark plugs and fuel filter. They showed me some of my gas and it had alot of gunk or sand in it, which they said i causing the problem. They said I will probably need a new fuel pump. The car no longer stalls but it is now having little acceleration when at a complete stop, it is also not wanting to shift. The transmission guy says it is not my transmission. Can this shifting problem be realted to the gas issue?

Shano Collins
From BR Bullpen
John Francis Collins
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 0", Weight 185 lb.
- Debut April 21, 1910
- Final Game May 15, 1925
- Born December 4, 1885 in Charlestown, MA USA
- Died September 10, 1955 in Newton, MA USA
Contents |
[edit] Biographical Information
Shano Collins played sixteen seasons in the majors and was considered a good defensive outfielder with a strong arm.
Collins began his pro career with the Haverhill Hustlers of the New England League in 1907. After not playing the next summer, he was with the Springfield Ponies of the Connecticut League in 1909 and hit .322. He was signed by the Chicago White Sox after the season and hit just .197 as a rookie while splitting time between first base and the outfield.
After several years as a starter, Collins was platooned with Nemo Leibold in 1917. However, he delivered in the clutch, getting the game-winning hit in the pennant-clinching game against the Boston Red Sox on September 21st. He started all six World Series games and hit leadoff, collecting the team's first hit and scoring the first run of the Series.
Collins again split time with Leibold in 1919 but had no part in the Black Sox Scandal. When Chick Gandil refused to report to the club in 1920, Collins became the club's regular first baseman again and batted .303, a career-best. Prior to the 1921 season, he was traded along with Leibold to the Red Sox for Harry Hooper. He ended his playing days after parts of five seasons there.
Collins was among league leaders in doubles, triples, and RBI several times in his career. He stole 225 bases in his career. The similarity scores method shows two players in the ten most similar who played in more recent times, Enos Cabell and Bill Virdon.
After his playing days, Collins managed the Boston Red Sox in 1931 and 1932. He also managed at Des Moines and Pittsfield in the minor leagues.
Collins earned the nickname "Shano" as a variation on "Sean", the Gaelic version of "John". He was the grandfather of Bob Gallagher.

Hi Peter,
I have been looking for a Latex matress that I can try out for some time. I am glad to see Stearns and Foster makes a line that I can try. Went to Macy's today and tried the equivalent Village View Villa Cushion Firm (#2) and the River View Villa Firm(#3). The firm matress was too firm, however the cushion firm was a little (i stress little) soft. Would it be better to get the firmer mattress and add a latex topper or go with the cushion firm? The guy in the store said all of the mattress in the store are broken in so what I bring home will be firmer. What are your overall thoughts on Stearns and Foster Luxury Latex line? Your comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Andre
Hi Andre,
Getting the firm and softening it with a topper is the safe bet. You can always adjust the feel to your liking and the firmer mattress lasts longer.
There is a plush model. The plush model has a thicker latex core than the cushion firm, and feels a bit more substantial as a result.
These are well made beds. My wife and I have the plush. We also use a latex topper with it, for the extra softness we like.
Here's the link to those mattresses.
Thanks, Pete

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Slattery, Claudia Carla Olga email@example.com URN etd-10242012-131234 Document Title Termination of sporting careers among South African sportswomen Degree Master of Arts Department Biokinetics, Sport and Leisure Sciences Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof B J M Steyn Supervisor Keywords
- elite sportswomen
- the media
- gender stereotyping
- terminate sporting careers
Date 2012-04-11 Availability unrestricted Abstract Sport can have a profoundly positive impact on the world. It can unite diversity, extracts youthful communities from poverty and inject flaking nations with relentless spirit. Sport transcends barriers and mends people with tumultuous personal histories. Within this context, we examine the ability that sport has to direct the lives of women from an early age. Effectively operating beyond the limitations of a classroom, sport can teach essential life lessons. Women who compete in sport from a young age have the opportunity to actualise their innate potential, develop their intelligence, grow in confidence, fine-tune leadership skills and establish a sense of presence.The aim of this investigation was four fold: (1) to explore the reasons why women who compete at an intense level in sport terminate their careers prior to reaching their full potential. (2) To identify the essential factors that impact heavily on women in sport: stereotypes, the media, teaching methods, and other factors identified during the research. (3) To establish the similarities and/or differences between women who have terminated their careers and women who still compete at intense level, and (4) to identify coping strategies that may assist women to overcome the obstacles and persevere in their sporting careers.
A qualitative approach was adopted: 64 women filled out the questionnaires. They had all competed in first teams at provincial, national or international levels. Some had terminated their sporting careers; others were still competing. Through analysis of data, women in this study terminated sport participation because of decreased motivation and interest in sport, coach dynamics, academic pressure, development of injury and politics in the administration of sport. The latter may be unique to South Africa following the demand for sport to be more representative of all population groups.
This study endeavoured to identify eco-factors that would possibly appear to play a key role in whether women continue in or terminate their sporting careers. Men's sports dominate the media in South Africa. There seems to be a direct correlation between the amount of coverage given to sportswomen and the number of women actively competing in sport. The media is an incredibly powerful tool and has the "potential to create and achieve an environment that promotes and supports the principles of equity." (Goslin, 2008: 300) Until the media makes a concerted effort to modify the imbalance, not much will change for women in the sporting world. Stereotypes continue to prevail. Society and media conform to portraits of women as mother, wife, sex symbol or career seeker. One of few sports brands to reverse this affliction is Nike: "Somebody will give her a doll. And somebody will give her a ball. And then somebody will give her a chance" (Nike "There is a Girl in America", 1996). The advertisement was never released in South Africa.
The media, however, can only be responsible for so much. Ultimately, parents have to take responsibility for their child's upbringing. During this study, differences in parenting styles and how these styles influence the longevity of participation were identified. The issue of how far to push a child to do something she/he does not want to do emerged as a regular theme. Results showed that within the group who were still competing; only 17% had parents who pushed them. Within the group who terminated their careers, 62% of them were driven beyond their will. Perceived peer acceptance was also identified as an influence contributing to the prediction of enjoyment and perceived competence in the sporting arena. Our coaches, their coaching methods and how they handle contemporary females also proved to have a profound impact on the termination or continuation of sport. Coaches provide encouragement, motivation and preparedness.
There appears to be little published research to substantiate why women continue sport at a tertiary level. From this research, however, it appears that an athlete who has a growth mindset and is focused on task orientation is more likely to continue sport over someone who has a fixed mindset and is more ego-orient.

Musical ear syndrome: The woman who constantly hears music
"Happy Birthday - every few minutes I'm wishing someone happy birthday - I hate that one."
The song is one of several numbers Cath Gamester, 84, hears on a constant loop throughout the day.
The grandmother from Liverpool has musical ear syndrome, where the sufferer has auditory hallucinations.
Since it started in 2010, she said she had heard songs including God Save The Queen, Abide with me, You'll Never Walk Alone and Silent Night.
She said: "it just goes on and on and on, one song after another.
Musical Ear Syndrome (MES)
- MES is a form of auditory hallucination which involves hearing music when none is being played
- Hearing phantom sounds such as buzzing or ringing is known as tinnitus
- In a small number of people however, these experiences can be more complex and emotive, and music can be heard
- Musical hallucinations are typically heard as short fragments of simple melodies from the individual's youth, especially hymns and carols
- Commonly heard songs include Happy Birthday, Silent Night and Abide With Me
- One hypothesis is that when a person's world becomes too quiet, the brain manufactures its own sounds based on auditory memories
- MES is more common in women, the over 60s, individuals who live alone and those with sudden hearing loss - the most common and easily treatable cause
Source: British Tinnitus Association
"It's a tenor, a man's voice and it's a nice voice, very strong, loud and there's like a background of music."
The rare condition affects about one in 10,000 people over 65 in the UK.
Often, the person is also suffering from tinnitus.
Mrs Gamester believes the songs were triggered by a course of anti-depressants she was prescribed after the death of her sister.
"I went to bed and when I woke up I heard music. I thought to myself it must be next door - he must be playing a record because it was going on and on.
"I went out the back door, I went out the front door, I went out to see if there was any music being played everywhere, I was thinking where is it coming from?"
Mrs Gamester said she sometimes vacuumed or told it to "shut up" in a bid to drown the noise out.
Dr Nick Warner, a psychiatrist who specialises in the elderly, said he usually dealt with "a couple of cases a year" connected to musical ear syndrome.
"When you get a musical hallucination it feels as if it's real, it feels as if there's a record player playing it or the artist is in the room or in the next-door room.
"As far as you're concerned probably everyone else ought to be able to hear it as well so it's very, very real."
Dr Warner said in the majority of cases he had encountered, people heard hymns and Christmas carols.
"On speculative terms, it could be that without knowing it, that person needs to hear something which is in some way reassuring to them."
'Enjoy yourself'Despite no current cure to for the condition, Dr Warner said there are ways of helping people live with it.
"Some people have found that putting on other music enables them to take control over from the musical hallucinations.
"I think talking about it to other people probably helps, distracting yourself, doing as much as you possibly can."
Mrs Gamester said she had found her own way of accepting the hallucinations.
"I've worked out the fact that I should be glad it's not a serious illness.
"I would say to these poor people out there who are like me - don't let it worry you too much, get on with life and enjoy yourself as much as you can."
Inside Out North West is broadcast on BBC One on Monday, 17 December at 19:30 GMT and nationwide on the iPlayer for seven days afterwards.

ISNA Conference 2006
September 7, 2006 by TMO
TMO Staff Reporter
ISNA held its 43rd annual conference this past weekend in Rosemont, Illinois, at the Chicago Convention Center. The theme of the convention was "Achieving Balance In Faith, Family and Community." According to ISNA's Sayyid Syeed, the national director of ISNA's Office of Interfaith & Community Alliances, 40,000 people attended the conference.
The most notable speaker from among the many well-known speakers was President Mohammad Khatami, until recently president of Iran. Forced to speak via teleconference in response to security concerns, Khatami spoke mainly on the importance of American Muslims' having a terribly important role to play in world politics.
The convention buzzed with bazaar activity, social interaction, and MSA sessions. The topics discussed ranged widely–across community, national, and international issues.
As usual, the conference was elaborately and painstakingly organized.
This conference was also notable for the identify of ISNA's new president, the first ever woman selected for that post, Ingrid Mattson.
Dr. Mattson, who earlier served as the first female ISNA Vice President, is Professor of Islamic Studies and Director of Islamic Chaplaincy at the Macdonald Center for Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, CT.
The conference was held September 1st through 4th, over Labor Day weekend. About 500 vendors were present at the bustling bazaar, and thousands of Muslim participants had come from around the United States and abroad to participate.
Special sessions of the conference included an ITAG conference targeted at the burgeoning interest in IT among Muslims.
It was a wonderful Labor Day weekend for all who enjoyed the many delights that the convention afforded the visitors who came to it from around the world.

KPFT is now accepting proposals through Jan. 26 for arts/music programming to take on an open timeslot on our overnight FM grid.
Various changes have made available a spot on our our program schedule on Monday night/Tuesday morning, 2-5 a.m. This is a rare opportunity to become a DJ on Houston's only volunteer-inspired non-commercial radio station.
Successful candidates will have an active, established social media presence and/or community base that we can see and verify, which you can call on to promote the program and support KPFT. We appreciate great taste in music, and know from experience that radio like this is rooted in community and the relationships DJs have with new and established listening audiences. Successful candidates will also know KPFT, be members, have studied our schedule for how their ideas can compliment our mix, and be passionate about music.
We need something in writing from you about what you propose. Make it as short as you wish, but know we have to make judgments based on what you share, so make it good!
Please let us know the following:
* The program concept (in 50 words or less, what do you want to do?)
* Fuller description of the concept (and how you will do what you do)
* How you know there's an audience for it
* Are you a KPFT member? (Please note, we check our member database for your name to confirm current member status)
* Who will be working on the program, if anyone, besides you
You should also note in writing the following:
* What you know of KPFT
* That you understand you're prohibited from doing commercials of any kind
* That you understand you're required to raise funds during pledge drive to keep KPFT on the air
* Studio experience (no experience is fine, but you'll have to run your own board, be required to report music you play into our database and so on)
* Any other points of interest we should know
In moments like this, we tend to get proposals for local music, blues, hip-hop, or DJ-picks-the-music-they-like-oriented shows. Because we already have a number of award-winning shows that do such genres, if you're proposing anything we're already broadcasting, please give a sense of how you think your program will appeal to listeners in a fashion that makes what you do distinct.

For most of you that have been following my blogs, I'm usually sharing tips about living a gluten-free lifestyle, current events and most of all I enjoy hearing from you via guest posts. I'm currently working on my business plan and my primary focus is working with restaurants on increasing the awareness of food allergies in their establishments. I think we all know that one of our biggest concerns is, "will I get sick when I go out for a meal?"
With that said, I really want to hear from you because it will help with my research. What are your biggest challenges with living a gluten-free lifestyle?
Is it……..
- Cross-contamination
- The social scene
- Lack of understanding
- The fear of being different
- Lack of options
- The taste
- Missing out on what other's are eating
- Something else?
I would really like your feedback, feel free to comment away and thanks for your support!
Stay Healthy!!

My two year old was just diagnosed with Celiac and I think our biggest hurdle is just the overall fear of her getting sick via cross contamination. She never told us she was hurting before and she was horribly sick. She never cried or said a word and it wasn't until the diagnosis and diet change that we see how she should act because she is a completely different kid since going gluten free. We changed the whole house over out of ease and our family feels a lot better in doing so.
Our fear of cross contamination causes us now to never go out to eat anymore except for Picazzo's and she is never her normal self after there either so we go there only in an emergency. We don't eat at other people's home either because of fear of cross contamination and I fear the day she has to go to school. I hate that it feels like we walk on egg shells now and can't live a normal life anymore (have to worry about any contact she should have) and it has taken the fun out of dinners out.
I don't care what people think of me and my neurotic ways as long as she is healthy but it does stink that they (family included) think it is a fad and don't get what gluten does to her body.
I am hoping people will soon get a better grasp on it and in a perfect world wheat and gluten will no longer be an ingedient allowed in anything so we can live life like we use to. But that is a long shot:(
Desiree – Your post says EXACTLY everything I'm feeling! My 6yo was just diagnosed. It has been so stressful, and yesterday he went back to school. Talk about stress!!! My family has been supportive, but my dad also said that I should be thankful that this isn't life threatening. However, it is! It's an autoimmune disease!! My son hasn't grown in an entire year, and he was only in the 10th% to begin with! He's fallen off his growth curve and yes, I'm concerned and neurotic. Glad to see I'm not alone!!
Definitely fear of cross contamination. When I was first diagnosed Celiac 3 years ago if something said gluten free I just went for it. Now I have a totally different mindset. I don't even trust that label anymore. And I am constantly having panic attacks thinking about what is possibly going on in the kitchen of restaurants with "gluten free" menus. I will say that I don't let it keep me from eating out. I do the best that I can to find the safest places to eat and speak clearly to the server about my issues. I still want to live life, and as a foodie eating out is part of who I am.
How about 9. All of the above
For me, it really depends on the situation and how I'm feeling on that given day, both physically and mentally. I rarely feel like an outcast, but I was at a two day party recently where it was all about the food. And for the first time in a long time, I felt like an outsider. But most times, I have no issues with it.

Oil at $50 a barrel is okay for now, some Opec producers say, but producers and consumers that lower prices now could lead to a supply crunch.
Opec producers met with representatives of Asian consuming countries in Tokyo over the weekend for the 3rd Asian Ministerial Energy Roundtable Meeting.
Both Saudi Arabia and Qatar expressed acceptance of $50 oil – for now:
"I think this is very pragmatic, $40-$50 this is a pragmatic price for 2009," said Qatari Oil Minister Abdullah al-Attiyah.
Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said $50 oil was Riyadh's "contribution to the world economy."
Opec is so comfortable with this current price level that secretary-general Abdalla el-Badri said further production cuts are unlikely at Opec's next meeting in May 28. He said another 700,000 barrels had to be taken out of production for Opec to meet 95 per cent of its most recent quota reduction target of 2.2m barrels.
But Mr el-Badri said he still wants to see oil prices ultimately at above $70 a barrel. And both Opec and the Energy Information Agency, the western oil consuming countries' watchdog, warned of the consequences of lower oil prices creating under-investment in future oil production:
"I can't rule out the possibility of an oil supply constraint in 2013 and 2014," Nobuo Tanaka, Paris-based IEA's executive director, said in an interview in Tokyo today. "Investments have dropped, and if this continues, an oil crunch would emerge."
The attendees were also in agreement on curtailing speculation. A summary issued after the meeting by co-chairs Japan and Qatar said:
"Regarding transparency of commodity markets and supervision on over-the-counter markets, participants appreciated national authorities' efforts and called for further harmonised actions such as introduction of position limits," it said.
Opec and the EIA did not agree on everything, however. Mr el-Badri also criticised the EIA's oil demand forecast for 2009, saying its figure of 83.4 million barrels was 'exaggered' while Opec's own forecast of 84.18 mbd was "coherent".

Because I snore, I sleep on the uncomfortable trundle bed in our guest room (pictures attached). If I buy a hightop mattress, the bed won't work anymore in the pulled-out position because that mattress would be higher than the other one (they're 7" high). I'm a side sleeper, somewhat overweight, and wake up with lower back pain from the old Serta Ortho-Support 7"mattress on the trundle bed. It looks like you would recommend a latex topper.
I thought 5-6" latex is the only thickness worth buying because thinner toppers flatten quickly, but I might be thinking of pillow-top toppers. I only see thin latex toppers on your website: http://www.themattressexpert.com/Toppers-Comforters/. I also thought I should get a latex topper that stays cool, since I already find it too hot under a light blanket. Can you tell me what you'd recommend? I'm beginning to think I should buy a comfortable twin mattress/bed and sell the trundle bed because we actually never have overnight guests and I'm tired of waking up all night. Thank you., Shirley
Hi Shirley,
Memory foam sleeps hot and flattens out. Poly foam isn't as hot, but wears quickly too. Latex sleeps cooler and is significantly more resilient. It doesn't sink through. 2" of soft latex lasts a very long time. It will add comfort and longevity to anything you put it on.
Thanks, Pete

If people vote with their feet, new numbers from the U.S. Census show they like the far suburbs of Phoenix a lot -- and are not really keen on large swaths of much of the rest of Arizona.
East Valley locales of Gilbert (third), Queen Creek (sixth) Chandler (eighth) ranked in the top 10 for statewide year-over-year population growth, while Tempe ranked 14th and Mesa 20th.
Buckeye led the state with a year-over-year population increase of 4.1 percent between 2011 and 2012. That figure for the rapidly sprawling community 30 miles west of downtown Phoenix was good enough to get it ranked ninth fastest growing in the nation.
Nearby Goodyear took the No. 2 slot in the state at 3.4 percent, with Gilbert also at 3.4 percent, Queen Creek at 2.7 percent, Chandler at 2.5 percent, Tempe at 1.9 percent and Mesa at 1.7 percent.
At the other extreme, many small towns found a net outflow of residents. And the state's southern and western tiers were particularly hard it.
Five of the cities at the bottom of the list are in Cochise County, with Tombstone and Huachuca City each losing about 1.8 percent of their already small population.
Population in the county's unincorporated area also dropped. And even communities that did not dip into negative numbers lagged, with Sierra Vista managing to eke out just a half percentage point growth in residents.
That was better than Tucson which the Census Bureau says added just 1,126 residents over the year, or 0.2 percent. While the far suburban communities of Marana and Sahuarita grew faster -- 2.3 percent and 1.9 percent respectively -- there was little indication of the same kind of surge in the unincorporated areas of the county where population grew at just 0.6 percent.
Parker lost the most residents, percentage-wise, of any community in the state with a 3.9 percent population drop.
But the pattern played out all along the Colorado River, with the Census Bureau saying Yuma also lost population as did Bullhead City, with no growth in Lake Havasu City and only a 0.2 percent growth in Kingman.
The new numbers show something else: While people continue to pile into the Phoenix area, they may not be willing to drive as far as they once were to find cheaper housing.
During the last decade, the city of Maricopa boomed from just a handful of homes to more than 43,000. But it managed to add just 500 new residents in the last year. And Florence, which also saw a 50 percent increase in population between 2000 and 2010, actually lost population between 2011 and 2012.
But economist Tom Rex with the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University specifically questioned losses logged for Yuma and Florence. He said that may be a function of an overestimate between 2010 and 2011, with the new numbers simply making up for that.
Overall, Marshall Vest, an economist with the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona, said the population growth patterns are no real surprise: They mirror where jobs are being created.
That presents an interesting problem for the rest of the state.
"It's kind of a chicken-and-egg question of what comes first: population or employment,'' Vest said.
"Companies are going to locate where there's an available and skilled labor force,'' he explained.
"And people, likewise, are going to migrate to where the jobs are,'' Vest continued. "It's a dynamic there that feeds on itself.''
Even with that, Vest foresees brighter times, particularly for parts of Southern Arizona.
"I think the economy here in Tucson is beginning to accelerate,'' he said, saying the sluggish year-over-year growth needs to be put in perspective.
"The Phoenix economy dived deeper'' than the rest of the state, Vest said. "And so it's coming up a little more rapidly.''
Rex agreed population growth rates around the state will even off -- but not necessarily because of improvements elsewhere.
"At some point the Phoenix area will get so large the negatives will outweigh the positives,'' he said, and people will no longer want to move to the Valley. How soon, Rex said, he can't say.
"A lot depends on how good a job we do in coming years in handling the growth and providing the infrastructure,'' he said.
And Rex said other areas of the state should not see their slower growth rate as a bad thing.
"If you wanted to improve your community and enhance your prosperity, it's easier to do if you have slow growth,'' he said. And he said it also means the ability to make a big difference with a single score.
For example, he said if Tucson were to add a new employer the size of Raytheon, which has more than 10,000 employees, that would make a major difference to the area. Total non-farm employment in Pima County is about 370,000.
"You dump a company like that in Phoenix and it gets swallowed up with Joe Shmoe's Remodeling Shop and this, that and the other thing,'' Rex explained, with 1.8 million jobs in the Phoenix metro area. "Even though you brought in several thousand good jobs, it had an almost imperceptible impact on the overall numbers.''
That conclusion about the slow job growth for the near future for everything outside the Phoenix metro area, for at least the near future, reflects what has been predicted by economist Aruna Murthy of the state Department of Administration.
She is forecasting a 2.3 percent jump in employment in the Phoenix area for the balance of this year and 2.4 percent in 2014.
By contrast, Murthy figures Pima County and the rest of the state will see job growth of just 0.8 percent this year. That figure will hit 1.1 percent for Pima County in 2014, with a 1.3 percent growth for the balance of the state.

God makes it very clear that we all need to be saved in order to go to heaven. Sin entered the world when Adam and Eve sinned. We were all born with a sinful flesh. When we were old enough mentally to know the difference between good and evil, then we needed to be saved to go to heaven.
Here are some Scriptures that show that we need to be saved: Rom. 3:23 says, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Rom. 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. John 3:3, 5-7 says, Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God and Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again. John 3:16 says For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
We cant save ourselves. Titus 3:5 says, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, and Eph. 2:8,9 says, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Jesus Christ has provided for your salvation. I Peter 2:24 says, Who His own self bore our sins in His one body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Also see John 3:16.
You must accept Jesus Christ for salvation. Acts 16:31 says, ...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved... Rom. 10:9 says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Also see John 1:12.
Now is the time to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. See II Cor. 6:2 and Heb. 3:7-8.
If you will receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, pray this prayer from your heart: Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to forgive me for my sins, and come into my heart as my personal Lord and Savior. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
After you have become a Christian you should do these five things:
1. Accept Gods word about you once you have asked Him to save you. See John 5:24
2. Confess Jesus Christ publicly. See Matt. 10:32
3. Be baptized and go to a Bible believing church. See Acts 2:41
4. Read the Scriptures and pray daily. See John 15:7
5. Obey the Lord Jesus Christ. See John 14:15

HAMILTON — "I think the Creator made each one of us different for a reason."
Salish-Pend d'Oreille Culture Committee director Tony Incashola's grandmother used to tell him when the day came that we all dressed alike, talked alike and acted alike, the end would be near.
"There would be no reason to exist anymore," he told the group of about 60 gathered earlier this week at Hamilton's Bitterroot River Inn.
His free public lecture, sponsored by the Bitterroot College University of Montana, was touted to focus on the tribes' worldview, values, stories, beliefs and contemporary connections.
It was much more meaningful than that.
Incashola offered words on tolerance, respect and understanding.
"We're not all meant to think alike," he said. "But all of us want to get to the same place. We all want to be happy. We all want to be prosperous. We all want to have a good life with our family.
"We just all do it differently," Incashola said.
Incashola's lecture was part of two days of programming offered by the college, in collaboration with the tribes and Humanities Montana, meant to provide accurate information for the community on Salish history and the tribes' connection to their ancestral homeland in the Bitterroot Valley.
It came on the heels of Ravalli County Commissioner J.R. Iman's visit to Pablo to hand deliver an apology to the tribes for comments made by former planning board chair and current county commission candidate Jan Wisniewski.
At a November meeting, Wisniewski implied that Havre law enforcement officers had complained to him that their jails were filled with "drunk Indians."
The commission voted shortly thereafter to deliver an apology to the tribes for those comments.
None of that was mentioned.
Instead, Incashola offered insights into the creation stories passed down from generation to generation that set aside places like the Medicine Tree and Sleeping Child as sacred, in hopes of spreading local understanding on the importance of those places to the tribes.
"Before people, there were animals. Before animals, there were spirits," he said. "It's kind of like evolution. The animals were put here to protect and prepare the land for humans."
All Indian tribes in the country share similar creation stories, he said.
Incashola told the group that he couldn't share the specifics of the creation stories now because his people believe that they only can be told when there's snow on the ground.
"They are reserved for the winter months," he said, adding maybe he or someone else will come back next winter to tell the stories.
As the animals prepared the land for humans, Incashola said they left landmarks. Those landmarks remind people today of what happened there.
The Medicine Tree area south of Hamilton is one of those landmarks.
"It's not only the tree itself, but the area as well," he said. "That place is very sacred to us. In a sense, it's no different than all of the other places around the world that people consider sacred, like churches or the Weeping Wall."
Incashola said there are several sites in the Bitterroot Valley considered sacred to the Salish.
The stories that are passed down through the generations are important.
"They tell us who we are as a people," he said. "They are a part of our lives and our value systems. They are part of our identity. Without any of that, I don't know who I would be."

Vista Launch a Late-Night Yawn
SALEM, New Hampshire -- In this town just a few minutes over the Massachusetts state line, shopping is a way of life. Massachusetts residents regularly make the crossing into New Hampshire to go on tax-free buying sprees.
Late Monday night, however, few residents of either state had come out for the launch of Microsoft's much-ballyhooed operating system, Windows Vista. At CompUSA, slightly more than a dozen people wandered the aisles waiting for the stroke of midnight, when the software giant's latest system would go on sale.
For Len Marchant, a technology consultant from Windham, New Hampshire, coming out Monday night is all about being part of the event. He remembers the crazy launch of Windows 95, when people lined up to get Microsoft's next operating system. He attended the launch of Windows XP, but far fewer people showed up. Six years later, he decided to come out again.
"I don't really have a reason," Marchant said. "It's just something to do."
Microsoft's latest operating system promises greater stability, a slicker interface and more security for PC users. Yet, outside of the culture of the Mac faithful, celebrating the launch of an operating system seems to have become passé. While the CompUSA chain committed to launch parties in every store, most other retailers -- including the Best Buy next door -- remained closed.
For Microsoft, however, there is a great deal to celebrate. After multiple delays, its most advanced and secure operating system to date has finally shipped. Meager crowds will likely do nothing to diminish the meaning of the day. Comparisons to the 2001 launch of Windows XP are inevitable. Sparse crowds attended the launch parties, but in the end Windows XP sold well, albeit most often when consumers bought a new computer.
"There is a little more interest this time," said Barry O'Neil, general manager of the CompUSA in Salem.
While Microsoft offers four boxed versions -- Window Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate -- O'Neil expects most people will get Vista by buying a new computer system.
Brijendar "B.J." Ankodia, who lives over the line in Tewskbury, wandered into CompUSA a week ago looking to buy a laptop. The sales people told him about Microsoft's coming operating system, so he decided to wait to buy the hardware, he said.
According to media reports, Dell and other online computer retailers started selling PCs loaded with the operating system over the weekend so that consumers could receive them as early as Tuesday. CompUSA allowed people to reserve their systems, but would not actually sell them until the clock hit midnight.
Ankodia showed up for the midnight launch because he worried that the Vista computers might be snapped up quickly.
"There might be only two or three in stock," he said. "Tomorrow there might be none."
When Ankodia and a friend showed up at CompUSA a bit before 10 p.m., there had been a line. The store had run a sale unrelated to Vista, handing out vouchers to anyone arriving before the late-night reopening. The crowd, which a store staff member estimated at around 50, quickly thinned out.
"When I was on my way in, they were lined up," said a CompUSA staff member who asked not to be named. "I asked, are you here for Vista? They all shook their heads."
Some customers have more purpose in braving the single-digit New England temperatures to buy Vista. Xiuhong Sun made the 20-minute trip to buy a copy in hopes that the latest Windows operating system would make for a better research tool.
"Windows XP does not take advantage of today's better performing hardware," Sun said.
Sun builds high-resolution and multi-spectral imaging equipment at Flight Landata, an aerospace firm in Andover, Massachusetts. While Linux is popular in many parts of the research world, Flight Landata is a Windows shop.
"Our technology depends on so many different peripherals, and the best imaging components, storage components and interface components have drivers on the (Windows) PC," Sun said.
Nodding to the shelves stocked with boxes of Windows Vista, he added, "I've been waiting for this."
Slightly after midnight, there is no rush to the registers. Only those who are there, only a few actually line up to buy the software.
A few minutes later, Len Marchant walks out of CompUSA, the first person to buy Vista. Excited? He shrugs.
"There were more people last time," he says. "For Windows XP."

CREATE is such a brilliant range, especially when you've got a very sensitive skin. I'm also quite particular with the smells, and although I absolutely love the vast majority of the smells in Neal's Yard ranges I'm not keen on geranium, hence can't use some of the products containing it. That's where Create range comes handy. Not too mention that being fragnance-free it gets quickly very popular among other bathroom-users in my house. The ointment has a lovely very generously nourishing texture without leaving any oily residue which is why I can use it in winter months even on my combination-type skin. Dear Neal's Yard, the only thing that I'm soo hoping for is a face wash in Create range, it would be such a fantastic addition!

Patent litigation over the Australian release of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 created a media storm in late 2011, with a key issue being the short commercial life of consumer tablet computers. Both Apple and Samsung recognised that grant or refusal of an interlocutory injunction was tantamount to determining the matter on a final basis. Ultimately the trial judge's decision to order an injunction was rejected by the Full Federal Court. The High Court then refused leave to reconsider the appellate court's decision.
This seminar will comprise a trans-Pacific dialogue on the issue which the Apple v Samsung litigation has raised: the appropriate criteria for the grant of interlocutory injunctions in patent cases. The dialogue will presented by two eminent authorities on the conduct of intellectual property trials in the United States and Australia respectively; Judge Marvin Garbis and the Hon Peter Heerey AM QC.

This transaction is called muraababah initiated by the purchaser, and there is nothing wrong with it, provided that the bank owns the car and takes possession of it before selling it to the customer, and that the contract is free of any stipulation of penalties in the event of late payment, and that the purchaser does not sign a contract obliging him to buy from the bank. This has been discussed in the answer to question no. 129312 and 140603
With regard to the down payment made by the customer before drawing up his contract with the bank and even before the bank takes possession of the car, if this down payment will not be returned in the event of his changing his mind, then this comes under the heading of consuming wealth unlawfully, because the down payment - according to those who regard it as valid, namely the Hanbalis - is only binding by means of the contract and not by mere promises. This has been discussed in the answer referred to above.
But if what is meant by the down payment is confirming serious intent to buy and it will not be withheld from the customer in the event of his changing his mind about buying, apart from an amount of money to compensate for actual harm, then this is permissible according to a number of scholars.
It says in al-Maaayeer ash-Shariyyah (p. 134): It is permissible for the bank to require the one who intends to rent something to pay a certain amount to the bank which it then keeps as a guarantee of commitment on the customer's part to carry out his promise of renting and other related obligations, provided that nothing is to be deducted from it except an amount that is commensurate with actual harm so that - if the customer changes his mind - he will then be charged the difference between the agreed rent of the item that he was going to rent and the actual rent fees collected by renting it to someone else, or - in the case of selling - he will be charged the difference between the price he had agreed to and the price for which it was sold (to someone else). This down payment to demonstrate commitment is like a trust to be kept with the bank, in which case it is not allowed to dispose of it, or it may be regarded as a trust to be invested with the permission of the customer, on the basis of a legitimate mudaarabah (shared profit) agreement between the customer and the bank. It is also permissible to make an agreement with the customer, when the rental contract is drawn up, to regard this money as part of the instalments.
On p. 147 it says: The basis for the bank requesting a sum of money from the one who wants to rent is the need to confirm his commitment, because the promise of commitment will result in financial repercussions if he changes his mind and the bank will be compelled to ask him to pay for losses or damage, and he may delay such payment. A fatwa concerning this matter (down payment) has been issued by the United Shareeah Council of al-Barakah. This also applies to renting. End quote.
There is nothing wrong with leaving the car registered in the name of the bank until the customer has paid off all instalments. This comes under the heading of collateral which is kept until the price has been paid. But we confirm that the customer becomes the owner of the car as soon as the contract is drawn up.

MUMBAI: The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday arrested two senior bureaucrats—former Mumbai civic chief Jairaj Phatak and former Maharashtra information commissioner Ramanand Tiwari—in connection with the Adarsh housing society scam, taking the tally of people taken into custody to nine. The central agency has listed 14 people, including former chief minister Ashok Chavan, as accused in its first information report filed last January.
Interrogations of two of the society's arrested promoters, sources said, have revealed that two other ex-Maharashtra CMs were offered four or five of the total 30 benami flats in the building. But before the transfer could take place, the scam was exposed. Investigating agencies say many of the approximate 30 benami flats in the Colaba high-rise belong to politicians, bureaucrats and army men.
When Phatak and Tiwari were summoned for questioning to the CBI's headquarters at Tanna House at 9.30am, the two bureaucrats seemed scarcely surprised. Sources said that Phatak asked the agency's sleuths whether he should have brought along his clothes, while Tiwari accepted the offer to break for lunch. The two bureaucrats' questioning went on for seven hours before they were formally arrested at 6pm.

Her daughter Georgia's 13th birthday wishlist includes Kate Moss perfume, an iPhone and breast implants.
Sounds shocking, huh? But get a load of the mother - Alicia has admitted to having over 50 cosmetic procedures during the years, and is as famous for her plastic appearance as she is for her penchant for bedding celebs (she boasts Simply Red's Mick Hucknall and P.Diddy among her conquests).
Alicia and Georgia spoke to UK mag Closer about their shared love of fake boobs. 28-year-old Alicia revealed she is planning her 13th breast augmentation surgery, and Georgia talked about her aspirations to become a lingerie model when she gets older (something mum is OK with as well).
Alicia was a bit taken aback by her daughter's wish to enhance her still-growing body. "I was surprised because I didn't know she was worried about her flat chest," she told Closer. "She's such a quiet girl, she doesn't say a lot."
But Georgia responded with: "I think my mum looks good. Because of her, I think it's normal to have surgery if something's not quite right."
You'll be relieved to hear she's making Georgia wait until she's 16 before going under the knife, though.
She told the mag: "I think a 16-year-old with a nice, sexy figure will do really well as a model as long as she's managed well.
"That's why I'm happy for Georgia to have a boob job because it will give her a career.
"She's been at a modelling agency since she was about six. She'll be more famous than Britney!"
A name change! Yep, little Georgia has already had her name changed to 'Destiny' by her mother, in the hope it will help her in her quest for fame.
Alicia says: "I wanted to call her Destiny when she was born, but my mum said it sounded like a lap dancer's name.
"But she never much liked Georgia, so we decided to change it."

Explanations and Accusations (GC press conference)
Found exclusively on the brand-new Pro Wrestling Plus website, merely a day after the unbelievable conclusion of WPW's Last Laugh Pay-Per-View event, is the video of a press conference called by the collective members of the Gentlemen's Club: Prince Angelos, Jason Moore, and of course, the man who claimed the WPW Championship at the PPV's conclusion, Double H. Each member is dressed in an immaculate suit as they take the stage, though Hunter is sporting a very conspicuous piece of hardware--indeed, the WPW title is draped over his shoulder, and the careful observer would note that the nameplate has even been changed to that of his own, despite the fact that he wasn't even involved in a match for the belt!
As Angelos and Moore flank him, Hunter steps up to the podium, shifting the belt to the table beside him before he speaks... "I understand you all have many questions, but before I provide any answers, allow me to say this: possession is nine-tenths of the law, and as of this very moment, I am in possession of the WPW World Heavyweight Championship. Therefore, I expect to be treated as such--not only as a living legend of this business, but as a champion. With that in mind, you may begin." The so-called "champion" relaxes a bit as Moore begins picking out members of the press for his stablemate... "Mr. Hendricks, I hope I'm not being too vague, but the obvious question on everyone's mind is why? What prompted you and the rest of the Gentlemen's Club to turn your back on World Pro Wrestling and ally yourselves with the enemy?" "First of all, let me make this perfectly clear to anyone following that line of thinking: you are viewing the situation as black and white, and it is not so...or rather, it was not so. When this all began, there were no 'enemies' for the Gentlemen's Club; rather, we were quite content to relax and watch the world burn before us while we lived like kings. There has never been any love lost between myself and Darius Falcon--if you'll recall, I fired that man from my own company several years ago after a single match--but then again, I've really no reason to bear any allegiance to anyone in WPW either, save for the gentlemen who share the stage with me at the moment. Ultimately, my comrades and I created our own fate. We unabashedly played both ends against the middle, and when Colleen Winters decided that Prince Angelos had somehow offended her, or her viewers, or whatever flimsy excuse she sputtered out, the decision was made without a second thought. Make no mistake--it's entirely unlikely that, within a month's time, the Gentlemen's Club will be any more 'welcome' in a PW+ ring than in any other, but for now, our cigars are lit, and our glasses are full..." As he speaks, Hunter reaches over and picks up the WPW Championship, pointing to it triumphantly... "...and this, this elusive little trinket, is finally ours. The WPW Championship now rests comfortably in the hands of a truly credible superstar--not the likes of a never-was like Davy Honor, nor a perennial Miss Congeniality like Chris Chambers, but a real champion of which World Pro Wrestling could be proud...if only I were still a WPW superstar. And while we're on the subject, before the question is posed, I'll preemptively answer: I do indeed intend to be a fighting champion, as it were. In fact, it is with great pride that I am officially announcing an open challenge for the next PW+ event, Call to Arms, to any WPW superstar brave--or stupid--enough to attend and step into the ring across from me. If you manage to win, you can have that pathetic piece of leather and garbage back. But when I win, you'll turn around, walk back into Colleen Winters' shadow, and never emerge from it again. It's as simple as that." With the press in attendance buzzing over that reveal, more questions rise up from the crowd... *OOC: Op or X only, please. |

+2 vs. Chaotic Evil |
Double H motions for someone to come to the podium and take his place. Prince Angelos stands and walks over, shaking HH's hand before turning to the crowd.
Prince Angelos I'll ask that you hold your questions for the time being as I have a few things I would like to say. Firstly, addressing the events of the past few weeks. I think it's apparent by now that the Club joining the ranks of PW+ was something that has been planned since the inception of PW+. This is not meant to imply we have any kind of fondness for PW+ over WPW or any other promotion out there. Simply put, the ineptitude of those in charge at WPW had run its course, and we as a group have had enough of it. This started last year with the appointment of Chris Linden as commissioner of WPW, an action with led to WPW going stagnant for more than three months, costing what undoubtedly would have been millions of dollars and leaving its employees and contracted talent wondering about their job stability. This was capped off when Linden was finally ousted and in his place Colleen Winters was appointed. We were told that WPW would be returning to its previous state of affairs, and would soon be better than ever. However, what we got was a tyrannical woman who had no interest in anything beyond throwing her weight around. This is a woman with absolutely no experience in any kind of management position, and very little experience in anything at all. Her ineptitude when it comes to running the day-to-day operations of WPW was proven when she chose to fire me last night, an action which will have legal consquences. This prompts whispers from the crowd, mostly about the viability of this statement. You see, I've spoken with my legal team, and considering that I wasn't actually contracted to WPW as a competitor any longer it is clear that I was not bound by the same terms that Winters laid out when she revealed herself as being in charge of World Pro Wrestling. The logistics of thing are very boring, so I won't go into that, but let's just say that WPW cannot currently afford what is coming to them, from both the legal front, and in the form of competition. To quote a good friend of mine "apparently the contracts we sign aren't worth the paper they're written on." And this final action was the last straw, sort of speak. When you fired me Ms. Winters all you did was effectively write the end of WPW and your reign atop the wrestling industry. You alienated three of your top superstars, one a multi time world champion. And, knowing our reputations like you apparently do, did you not expect repercussions? Naive is not something I would have taken you for, Colleen. Now, if you have any questions I'm free to take them. Angelos indicates someone in the crowd. On the PW+ website it indicates that at Call to Arms you, Prince Angelos, will be taking on ZERO. Do you have anything to say regarding your match, to us or to ZERO himself? Angelos takes a deep breath and now has a stern look on his face. I'm going to be honest, this is a match I do not want. If I were anyone else I would consider placing me in a match with someone is of the mental instability of ZERO at this time to be careless and irresponsible. ZERO has no place being in a wrestling ring, much less as a member of society. This is a man to who showed up last night to an event he had no business being at. He wasn't a fan, he wasn't booked to appear, he showed up for no other reason than to cause bodily, physical harm to another human being. It was completely unwarranted, the man he tried to assault was doing nothing beyond enjoying the show and was blindsided. And for what? Because ZERO failed in being a man? Because he, instead of being there to protect that which should be most precious to him, was elsewhere when Johnny Reed went to visit him? I think it's clear who is at fault here, and simply because Reed decided to stick around a while that gives ZERO cause to physically assault him? This man should be in jail, or a mental institution! And let's not forget about the irresponsibility of whomever thought having ZERO on this show was a good idea. This is the thanks a man such as myself gets for facilitating the dominance of PW+ at Last Laugh. This last comment draws a few annoyed looks, notably from Angelos stablemates. But, instead of looking at this as an insult, I have chosen to look at this as an opportunity. Considering the man has been complaining the past 5 minutes this draws a few groans. I look at this as a chance to do the world and PW+ some good by taking this madman out before he causes a lawsuit, or assaults another innocent bystander. How long until he starts beating on other wrestlers with reckless abandon, or attacking the fans because they boo him? To prevent this I will make it my mission to end bring ZERO's... terroristic campaign to an end, on behalf of his family, the fans, and Pro Wrestling Plus. I will be your hero. OOC: Made a minor adjustment after posting. Not sure if this is it or if X is replying. Haven't heard from him recently.

Floating Cinema by Duggan Morris Architects Set to Sail Through London
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On September 28, 2012 @ 3:48 pm In Architecture,Floating Houses,London | No Comments
The Floating Cinema will be used for on-board screenings, workshops and canal tours, as part of the collaboration between UP Projects [8] and film-maker artist duo Somewhere [9] (Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie).With its quirky name and vibrant colors, the project will suit the new "Extra-Ordinary" Program envisioned to animate the waterways of East London.
Duggan Morris Architects' proposal was selected from a shortlist of four international practices including Nilsson Pflugfelder (London/Berlin), OBRA (New York/Beijing) and vPPR (London). Nilsson Pflugfelder [10] designed an assemblage of prefabricated elements [11]. Their one-size-fits-all approach resulted in a structure that can be attached to the river bank and transformed to create a maximum of various spatial configurations. OBRA [12]'s proposal is a house-boat whose foldable roof can be transformed into a screen and rotated to face the audience seated on the bank. vPPR [13]'s "Cinescope" is a combination of a kaleidoscope, a periscope and a camera obscura. The project's main idea is in line with the other shortlisted proposals in terms of transformability – a large pull-up screen changes function and creates a movie screen.
