Keep an eye on the Hotel's own web sites for best pricing. We stayed at the Wynn at Christmas [not a busy time] and now receive special deals a few times a year. The Wynn is spectacular - luxurious - great for young adults and adult adults... from amazing bars, topless pool, lush grounds, fabulous restaurants and a gorgeous lobby. The rooms are the most beautiful - if you compare costs. report a problem

Tips for finding used moving vans for sale
The moving business can be a lucrative one, and it can also be relatively easy to set up, with only a fairly small outlay required. If you want to set up your own moving business, you'll need a moving van, and a pair of able hands. While new moving vans can be quite expensive, you can find used moving vans for sale for a fraction of the cost of buying one new from a dealer. Buying a second hand moving van doesn't mean that you'll have to skimp on quality, however. Many second hand moving van will still be relatively new. Some may have low mileage, too, which can be great for you as a car owner. The trick is know where to look when looking for used moving vans for sale. Used moving vans can be found for sale at your local secondhand car dealer. Note that these car dealers will likely not specialize in moving vans, so you may want to phone up in advance to see whether they have any vans in stock. Fortunately, vans are quite common, so it's likely that you will be able to find a vehicle or two of the type that you're looking for with relative ease. You'll improve your chances of finding a used moving van if you research dealers who specialize in utility vehicles such as trucks and vans. These will have a much greater turnover of these sorts of vehicles, and may be able to offer you a greater a range, or even a better deal than you might have inspected. Local classified ads are also great for finding used moving vans for sale. You can find these sorts of classifies in your city's newspaper, or in smaller local newspapers. Trade papers and newsletters can also be handy for looking for these sorts of ads, as trade specialists will be more likely to sell these sorts of vehicles in specialty newspapers or newsletters. Also try looking in any local trade shops, as they may have ads posted by people looking to sell or trade used moving vans. |

403(b) plans are only available for employees of certain non-profit tax-exempt organizations: 501c(3) Corps, including colleges, universities, schools, hospitals, etc. If you are an employee of one of these organizations, a 403(b) can be one of your best tools for creating a secure retirement. It provides you with two important advantages. First, all contributions and earnings to your 403(b) are tax deferred. You only pay taxes on contributions and earnings when the money is withdrawn. Second, many employers provide matching contributions to your 403(b) account which can range from 0% to 100% of your contributions. The combined result is a retirement savings plan you cannot afford to pass up.

Producer Profile
Producers: Richard Hempler and Co.
Located in: Ferndale, Wash.
Supplying PCC since: 1981
Nitrite-free: Hempler's No Nitrite all-beef products are made with naturally raised Country Natural Beef. They are free of gluten and MSG and seasoned with all-natural spices.
All in the family: Hempler's recipes date back to the 1800s and the Hempler family sausage kitchen in Borken, Germany, where Hans Hempler worked in the family sausage business. He brought those recipes to the Northwest when he started his local cured meats business in the 1930s.
Local, all-natural cured meats, since 1934
From mouth-watering corned beef to sizzling breakfast bacon and sausage, we're proud to carry high-quality cured meats from Hempler's, a local producer since 1934.
The Hempler's history dates back to the 1800s in Borken, Germany. Founder Hans Hempler worked in his family's sausage business as a youngster. He carried those traditions (and, lucky for us, his family's old secret recipes) to the United States, and the company, now under the supervision of his son, still uses them today.
Hempler's uses the finest raw ingredients available. Its No-Nitrite beef products are made with Country Natural Beef, which is free of antibiotics and added hormones and fed an all-vegetarian diet. Hempler's also uses old-fashioned natural casings and natural spices free of gluten, including ground mustard, paprika and onion powder. Taste the difference!

I couldn't say no to "FREE" so I took 4 boxes. 3 of them are still closed and I'm taking them to give to my brother. But, I opened one of them. I had two cookies and put the box away in my cabinet. Then, I heard some coworkers say they were opening some of the boxes and leaving them out to share. So, I decided to do the same. I took my box of the cabinet and now their on top of the cabinet for all to reach (including myself). I've now had 9 cookies (6 of my own and 3 from another box). The cookies are everywhere and I can't seem to stop.

Going backstage at New York Fashion Week is never boring. Even the simplest beauty looks are created with such technique and precision, it kind of blows your mind. But for a beauty writer, it's always a little bit more interesting when there's some nail art, intricate braids or playful makeup colors to check out.
This season, the looks that got me most excited were those that featured bold lip colors. Bright orange was the week's biggest trend, but there were plenty of '90s-inspired reds and vivid purples, too.
Don't panic—pulling off a statement lip is easier than it may seem. Here are a few tips I picked up backstage:

Mark Jackson Says Reggie Miller Was As Good As Any Shooting Guard Ever Besides MJ & Kobe
Reggie Miller will officially become an NBA Hall Of Famer later this week, so this should be a week of celebration. But former teammate and current Golden State head coach Mark Jackson, who was simply trying to laud his HOF-bound teammate, stirred up a bit of controversy by elevating Miller's place in history to the third greatest of all time. Here's what he said to the Indianapolis Star: Read More »

Published May, 22 2013
Implementation of new route and other improvements this June
Indianapolis (May 22, 2013) – On June 9, 2013 IndyGo will introduce its next round of bus service improvements. In February, the transit agency launched frequent service on its core lines, added weekend service and lengthened some hours of service. The changes slated for June will increase system efficiency through route realignments and will result in better service for customers. Enhancements include a new crosstown route on Indianapolis's north side, extending routes to serve more destinations, improving connections and frequency and offering more direct service.
"With additional funds through the city-county council-approved 2013 budget, IndyGo is able to make strategic investments in our mass transit service," said Michael Terry, IndyGo president and CEO. "The changes for 2013 will help stregnthen highly traveled transit corridors and offer better connections for route transfers, frequency improvements and higher productivity." Improvements to the IndyGo system are guided by the Indy Connect bus plan, an intensive analysis of current IndyGo operations, ridership, population and employment density.
Most notable of the service changes for June is the addition of one new route. Route 86 – 86th St. Crosstown will operate between Trader's Point on the northwest side and Community Hospital North on the northeast side. The new service will connect with seven existing IndyGo routes and will serve the 86th St./82nd St. corridor with half hour frequency six days a week.
"The new Route 86 will open up options for current customers and new riders traveling to and from destinations along the 86th St./82nd St. corridor on the north side," said Samantha Cross, IndyGo vice president of Business Development. "With service to retail centers like Keystone at the Crossing, Castleton Mall, Trader's Point and healthcare facilities at Community North and St. Vincent, we expect many riders will benefit from greater access, shorter travel time and new opportunities."
The implementation of June enhancements represents the majority of adjustments in IndyGo's ambitious 2013 sevice improvement plan. The agency continually monitors the performance of its routes and makes changes to timetables and routing in February, June and October each year.
"IndyGo's operational efficiencies and improvements to the bus network are impressive," said Mayor Greg Ballard. "Building up transit service in Marion County is vital to address our growing transportation needs and we see IndyGo making strategic investments to improve access to healthcare, jobs and education."
The table below summarizes current service, adjustments planned for June and the impact for passengers.
Route | Current Service | June 9 Change | Impact and Expected Outcome |
5 - E. 25th St./Harding | Westbound trips alternate route terminus at either 34th St./Elmira St. or 36th St./Totem Ln. | All westbound trips will terminate at 36th St./Totem Ln. | Consolidating alternating trip patterns will result in more regular coverage to 36th St./Totem Ln. Passengers using 34th St./Elmira St. trips will be able to access their destinations by using adjacent streets. |
10- 10th Street | Frequent service weekdays, early morning through early evening, between Tibbs Ave. and German Church Rd. | Minor timetable adjustment | New timetable will improve on-time performance. |
11 - E. 16th St. | Route uses Arlington Ave. to 21st St. | Route will continue on 16th St. to Shadeland Ave. | Route simplification will increase operational efficiency and legibility for public consumption of service. |
12 - Minnesota & 13 - Raymond |
Most outbound trips end at Main St./Sherman Drive in Beech Grove. Some trips extend to Keystone Ave./National Ave. | More outbound trips will serve between Main St./Sherman Drive and Keystone Ave./National Ave. | Extending some trips will result in greater access, more options and better service. |
14 - Prospect | Route terminates at Raymond St./Emerson Ave. after looping through low-density residential area on Southeastern Ave. and Ritter Ave. | Route will not serve east of Emerson Ave. on Southeastern Ave. or Ritter Ave. Route will extend along Emerson Ave. to Thomson Rd. | Eliminating residential loop will improve operational efficiency. Extending service south on Emerson Ave. to Thompson Rd. will improve access to South Emerson destinations and connect with Routes 16 and 26. |
19 - Castleton | Service runs every hour during mid-day. Inbound service uses residential streets on near north side, 32nd St. to Delaware St. to Fall Creek Blvd to Pennsylavia St. | Mid-day frequency will double to run every half hour. Inbound service will continue south on Central Ave. to Fort Wayne St. to Pennsylvania St. | Simplifying inbound routing and using higher-density Central Ave. will improve operational efficiency and is expected to generate ridership. |
21 - E. 21st St. | Route uses one of three termini: Noble of Indiana at 16th St./Wellesley, Walmart at Washington St./German Church Rd., or Mitthoefer Rd./30th St. | All oubound trips will terminate at Washington St./German Church Rd. | Simplified routing and all trips serving Washington St./German Church Rd. will maximize connections with routes 10, 87 and 8 while providing more regular and predictable service. Passengers needing access to Mitthoefer Rd. north of 21st St. will have better access with new Route 87 improvement. |
22 - Shelby | Route does not currently serve Greenwood Park Mall | Outbound trips will serve Greenwood Park Mall to connect with Route 31. Schedule will be adjusted. | New timetable will improve on-time performance and adding Greenwood Park Mall will increase options for riders. |
30 - 30th St. Crosstown | Trips alternate to travel via either Arlington Ave. to 16th St. or Shadeland Ave. | All trips will use the Shadeland Ave. patterns | Consolidation of trip patterns will result in better coverage for Shadeland Ave. Passengers will still have access to Route 3 on Arlington Ave. and Route 11 on 16th St. |
86 - 86th St. Crosstown | No service | Crosstown service will run between Trader's Point and Community North Hospital, every 30 minutes, six days a week. | New crosstown service could dramatically reduce travel time for passengers beginning or ending a trip along the 86th/82nd St. corridor. Will connect with seven routes and expand options. |
87 - Eastside Circulator | Hourly service | Double frequency to every half hour | Increased frequency will greatly enhance mobility on far east side. |
Aside from changes to the bus network, later this year IndyGo plans to implement significant technology upgrades that will greatly enhance the customer experience and attract new riders. Through competative grants, IndyGo has secured some of the money required to deploy enhanced customer information services. Real-time bus arrival information could allow customers to text message IndyGo for up-to-the-minute details on bus schedule adherence, detour alerts and stop closures. The real-time project could also offer access to enhanced customer service information 24 hours a day through an automated phone system, a new web information system, on-street customer information at major downtown stops and even smart phone apps.

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 Maizzy!
Facts about Maizzy
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Brindle
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Maizzy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Maizzy is an 8 month old female pitty who was rescued when her owner no longer wanted her. Maizzy is an amazing girl, and is now looking for a home to call her own. Maizzy is very well behaved and is good with all. Maizzy is spayed, UTD on shots and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Maizzy call Renae at 814-414-8127 or apply at www.adarrahbullbullyrescue.webs,con
Other Pets at A Darrah Bull Bully Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Maizzy, a Roaring Spring American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Roaring Spring, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Roaring Spring.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Roaring Spring 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 Roaring Spring 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 American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Roaring Spring paves the way for another one to be saved.

Just for added info, there are a lot of python scripts floating around to use XBMC as a mytvfrontend, it is easier to just run a native xbox app, rather than booting into linux, of course there is a big difference in functionality. you can run linux from inside the xbox environment with xcromwell.xbe. This is an xbox executable version of the cromwell bios. GentooX has it's upsides and downsides, but if you want a true pure gentoo system, then gentoo-xbox is the way to go.

Rachel Comey Spring 2013 | Runway
Rachel Comey Spring 2013
There was a lot to love at Rachel Comey's Spring 2013 show. No surprise there, as the designer has been cultivating — and winning at — her particular breed of laid-back cool for over a decade now. On offer this time around was plenty of that, and also plenty of something new: texture. It came in nearly every form, from slick and shiny (as on a rose-gold A-line mini) to light and wispy (on deconstructed peplum sheaths) to structured and nubby (on jigsaw-quilted shorts and dresses). Prints were plenty eye-catching, too — dappled sun prints, floral camouflage, and watercolor stripes — and they certainly played nicely with all that glorious texture.
Since no Comey show would be complete without an array of want-now shoes, those bear mentioning, too. This season, the designer's signature wood-heeled clogs, lace-ups, and ankle-strap flats came accented with mirror-like metallics, perforated neutrals, and uberbright patent leather.

Milk tea nowadays are so IN here at the Queen City, and there's one located at J. Block Apitong St., and one in Talamban just across University of San Carlos which named Sprockets.
They offer from coffee to milk tea to cakes and very cute cupcakes and also snacks like chicken wings to pizza.
The place in Talamban, which my partner and I visited was really cute and comfortable; but I doubt that it will be on weekdays since it will be jam packed with San Carlos students, but still, it's nice and pleasing to be in.
Try their Wintermelon Milk Tea, which you can see in their menu having the number '1' beside it, meaning that it's the best-seller of all. Also, try their Toasted Hazelnut Milk Tea which is the 4th best-seller of all. And their Blueberry Cheese Cake which was also a winner.
I love the fact that they have sinkers that you can choose from, which I prefer the burst, and you'll just have to add P20.00 from the original price of the beverage.
The beverage price ranges from P90.00 – P100.00 which is really affordable.
Visit Sprockets and love the cuteness of the place.

Why wasn't a FULL autopsy done???
0Mar 19, '02 by ScarletteMy Aunt died of mysterious causes last Tuesday, she turned 59 on the day she died. My family is distraut and we're pretty sure her husband killed her......he tried to do it 11 years ago using prescription pills (he's a pharmacist). My mom had turned him into the FBI when my Aunt almost died 11 years ago, but they just gave him a slap on the wrist and he lost his job.....he went on to open his own store.
My Aunt had been through rehab recently and was doing fantastic. We could actually have a conversation with her and she wasn't slurring her speech, she made sense, and she said she was feeling fantastic. She said she had turned over a new leaf and was starting to live life to the fullest.
The details of her death are a mystery......he keeps changing his story. The first story was that she was having an anxiety attack, so he gave her "some pills". When questioned what the pills were he said "Two Atarax." My mom asked if her sister had a prescription for the pills and he said no, he just happened to have some and gave them to her. He woke up later and she was having a hard time breathing, woke up an hour later and she was not breathing, so he did CPR, called the ambulance, ect.
The next story he told was that he had just woke up and she was not breathing, he called the ambulance and they had said she had a pulse, took her to one hospital, then they shipped her to another hospital and they couldn't revive her.
Another story was similar, but she was DOA and they shipped her to a second hospital anyway (why they would ship a dead body to another hospital is beyond me).
There is a few more stories he's telling that are similar, but don't match up.
Anyway, after many calls, we finally get ahold of him to find out where the funeral is and if there's going to be an autopsy (we live 3 hours away). He said yes, there will be an autopsy and told us where the funeral was.
One hour before the funeral starts he tells us that there was only a chemical autopsy done. Well, that won't tell us if he put a pillow over her face while she was struggling to breath, or any other horrific things he may have done to her........ He certainly didn't act like the grieving husband of 40 years at the funeral. He was laughing and joking around. At the after funeral dinner he laughed and told people to go up and get more food because he had my Aunt's checkbook and she had lots of money in it......she was "buying". SICKO!!!!! Then when we were leaving he gave my mom a hug and said "I can do this alot now that I'm single". My mom gave him a shove, called him a few nasty names and walked out.
My point here is.........Why wasn't there a FULL autopsy done???? How can they get away with a chemical autopsy under such mysterious circumstances??? I'm afraid we'll never know the cause of her death and that he may be getting away with murder. This will eat away at my mom and my poor grandma for the rest of their lives if we don't get an answer. He said there won't be any results for 2 weeks.......we're trying to get enough evidence together to get her exhumed and have a full autopsy done, but aren't sure how to go about it. It's sad to think my Aunt may have to be exhumed, but how can she rest in peace if he killed her and got away with it. It's a sad and sick situation all the way around.........HELP!!!!!!!! -
0Mar 19, '02 by NRSKarenRN, BSN, RN AdminDo you know who her doctor was?? I'd report my suspicions to him/her as they are the ones to sign death certificate. Also talk to the funeral home director and the local police department would be my hunch.
Just remember that people grieve in different ways. Family and cousins all laughed recently at my grandmothers funeral that it was the best party we'd been to all year. She was lookin down + was happy so see a chichen dinner served instead of the backyard hot dogs and burgers my dad had said we'd have when doing her funeral planning years ago. We all felt her spiritual presence with us at the funeral service and dinner. -
0Mar 19, '02 by ScarletteNo, I don't know who the doctor was......there's 2 different stories. One was that she was taken to one hospital and shipped to another where she died. The other story was that she died at the first hospital. I don't know who her family doctor was.....my Aunt lived 3 hours away from us. If we don't find out anything from the chemical autopsy, we're going to the funeral director, to the coroner, ect. I don't know at what point we should go to the police.
I can understand the difference in the grieving process, and I feel there is a different feeling when someone dies expectedly (like when my grandpa died of cancer).....we were very sad, but happy he was out of pain. It's different when someone dies totally unexpected, mysteriously, and at a young age. He was totally out of line. Just like the time he said (in front of my whole family) that he wished my Grandpa (his father-in-law) would hurry up and die so he wouldn't miss his plane flight to California. He's evil -

First, I am so sorry about all of this what your family must be going through.
Try to keep a clear head about all of this.
I would contact the police if you have not done so yet and get a lawyer because if you get to the point where you will have the body exhumed you will need one. The lawyer will probably also be able to help with the police, etc. Then I would keep on the police til you get some answers. From what I have seen on T.V. and in the newspapers cases like this can take years but it can be done. We had a local case where a young married woman "accidentally" fell from an apartment balcony and died. This was back in the 80's or very early 90's and just within the past few years they finally put her husband on trial for the murder and he was convicted. It was only through the determination of her family that the truth came out and justice was done and it was quite a daunting trial for the family.
In the mean time is there some sort of professional Pharmacists Association or Licensing body that can examine the case also? Seems like the husband / pharmicist may be held liable if he's a pharmacist and gave your aunt a drug which caused her demise.
Please take care of yourselves.

First and foremost, I'm very sorry to hear of your lose.
Second and very important...CALL the Police right away and contact an attorney.
Yes, people greive in a lot of different ways, but this seems a bit much to me. This is a big world and hopefully you can get some justice, if he is the one to blame.
Prayers are with you.

0Mar 19, '02 by cajI will be happy to try to answer some questions for you in regards to your family member. I am a medicolegal forensic investigator for a large Regional Forensic Center.
Step One: File an official complaint (Report) with the law enforcement agency in the region where she lived. Preferably a homicide unit. If you have no success with that contact me and as a Board member of the International Homicide Investigator's Association I will be able to put you in contact with the appropiate agency.
Step two: Labs are being performed as they should be. Toxicology using blood and urine as well as vitrious fluids will be screened for presents of Amphetamine's, Oplates,Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Methodone, Methaqualone's, Propoxyphene's, etc etc etc
Generally they screen for numerous more...anything that tests positive... meaning positive for presence will be quantitated which is another test. That test depending if they do it in house or if they send it to an outside lab is slower.
Step three: The Medical Examiner or Coroner's office can exhume the remains at anytime to do an autopsy so there is nothing lost with the time that has gone by. The only problem that would exists would be if she was cremation, which does not seem to be the problem.
I woul dbe happy to assist you in any way and you may contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I would need a little more information, but feel free to contact me.
Most people do not realize on when an autopsy is ordered and depending on what state of the USA you are in...each state varies from one state to another.
Instead of having everyone assume...lets start with the results of the toxicology. Ask the ME to also screen for heavy metals as well.
Best Regards,
Mark F.I.

0Mar 19, '02 by DuckieI have one question. If she did not have a script for Atarax, how did he justify giving these to her? Since when can he prescribe medications? Maybe this is an issue that could be followed up on. And did he have a script for these himself, if not, why did he have them to begin with? What other drugs does he have that he shouldn't have?????
0Mar 20, '02 by thisnursein deaths other than natural causes, i thought the coroner determined whether to do an autopsy or not.
my sister in law was hit by a truck and they did an autopsy without family permission.
i recall having a patient die of an overdose in the hospital and the doc who pronounced her had to report the death to the coroners office. they declined autopsy and sent her to the funeral home.
what is the OFFICIAL cause of death?
i cant imagine it being difficult for your mom to get medical records from the hospital(s) she was taken to.
im so sorry for your loss...especially in this manner.

Yvonne Brill, 88, died last week in New Jersey. According to her New York Times obituary, which ran on Saturday, her standout accomplishments were the eight years she took off from work to raise her three children, the way she followed her husband from job to job, and her "mean beef stroganoff" recipe.
Oh, yeah, and she was also a pioneering rocket scientist for NASA who invented the jet propulsion system that keeps satellites orbiting properly. In 2011, Brill received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation from President Obama. You know, no biggie. Keep reading »

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 Verbena!
Facts about Verbena
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Brown Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Verbena's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I was a throw away but am no more…I am part of the trailer park colony that so many others here are a part of too. I am very sweet and love to sit in laps. Please love on me! I get along well with people and other kitties, and probably nice dogs if introduced correctly. I like to play some too but generally speaking, I'd rather have a lap to sit in or a hand to pet me!
**Home Visit Required**
Foster mom: Michelle at 256-837-4627 or 256-520-2517
Hi…. My name is Verbena…. like the flower! I'm looking for my forever home! ? My story is an all-too-familiar one that you may have heard before: I come from a trailer park where some nice folks fed us, but didn't have the means to stop us from reproducing endlessly. In fact, I had 5 kittens less than 24 hours after I was rescued!! Thankfully Forgotten Felines stepped in and started helping us…and they've taken in nearly 40 of us! Now that I'm safe and don't have to be scared all the time, life is wonderful! It can only get more wonderful when I find my forever family to love me! I am very grateful for all that's been done for me and will happily love on you to show you how happy I am! [I especially like to be held.] I like to play some too but of course, I love to be loved. Do you have room in your home and heart for me? If so, you won't regret it, I promise. If you have any questions about me, please call my foster mom, Michelle, at 256-520-2517 or 256-837-4627.
Verbena is spayed and current on her shots and tests (FIV/FelLeuk (-))!!
Pure love in the body of a cat...she is a very special kitty who only wants to belong to her very own people...and honestly, she deserves a great family. She is affectionate and loving and just pure joy. Please look at this lady and open you heart and home to her...she will be eternally grateful.
Other Pets at Forgotten Felines
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Verbena, a Capshaw Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Capshaw, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Capshaw.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Capshaw 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 Capshaw 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Capshaw paves the way for another one to be saved.

Formula for the Energy Requirements of Cycling
From Bicycling Science by Frank Whitt and David Wilson, p.157
Effects of a hill on energy needs for cycling
I was wondering if you knew the relationship between speed and effort for a given gradient. Obviously, when climbing you are using most of your effort to overcome the force of gravity.
Climbing Tactics For Non-Climbers
By Dirk Friel, UltraFit.com, July 17, 2002. One of the biggest concerns I hear from road racers is how to improve hill-climbing ability. In fact, many times this is the sole reason cyclists seek out a coach for expert advice.
The Crank Length Conundrum
By Lennard Zinn
There seems to be a general consensus that long cranks offer a rider more power, though too long and a rider risks knee damage and hurts his or her spin.
Many suggest short cranks to allow for a nice spin, but too short and the rider loses power.
Now, if you ask 10 riders what constitutes "too long" and "too short," you'll probably get at least 10 different opinions.
Pressure Tactics
A simple change in tire pressure can have a profound impact on the performance of a bike. Rolling resistance, traction, reliability and the feel of the ride can be transformed by changing the pressure by as little as ten pounds per square inch.
Aches & Pains
Treating Broken Bones
A broken bone is a possibility if extreme pain is reported at the site of the injury, which is increased by any movement, with the casualty losing normal use of the extremity. As the broken limb is seldom life-threatening in itself, the most important step is to ensure that the patient is free from further harm, and has good resipration and pulse before proceeding to immobalise or move the patient. Also, treat for any profuse bleeding first. Symptoms, in addition to pain and the loss of normal functioning of the extremity, include swelling and later bruising, an apparant deformation of the body part when compared to its opposite, and shock setting in.
Wheels - Articles About Wheels
Wheelbuilding: Building wheels from scratch is the best way to learn the craft of wheel truing, to get the feel for how a wheel responds to spoke adjustments. It is much easier to learn this with new, un-damaged parts than to start right in trying to repair damaged wheels.
Servicing Cup and Cone Hubs: This article examines the workings of conventional bicycle hubs and explains the tools and techniques involved in servicing them.
Tire Sizing: Bicycle tires come in a bewildering variety of sizes. To make matters worse, in the early days of cycling, every country that manufactured bicycles developed its own system of marking the sizes. These different national sizing schemes created a situation in which the same size tire would be known by different numbers in different countries.
Beverages & Fluids
Although water does not provide Calories, adequate fluid intake and hydration is at least as important as Calorie replacement in maximizing your athletic performance. The single biggest mistake of many athletes is their failure to replace their fluid losses during training and competitive events. And this is especially true in cycling where evaporative losses are significant and can go unnoticed even though sweat production and loss through the lungs can easily exceed 2 quarts per hour. To maximize your performance, it is essential that fluid replacement begin early and continue throughout a ride. A South African study comparing two groups of cyclists (one rehydrating, the other not) exercising at 90% of their maximum demonstrated a measureable difference in physical performance as early as 15 minutes into the ride.
Effective Training Rides

101 Quick Tips
First two: # Road bike sizing is very easy: As a general rule, take your pants inseam length, convert inches to centimeters by multiplying by 2.54, then multiply that number by 0.7. Round to the nearest cm. That's the size that should fit you fine. -- Anne To remove the slotted screws in Look cleats when they've become too worn for a screwdriver to turn, use a Dremel moto-tool equipped with a cut-off wheel. Just spin it up (while wearing eye protection), and the wheel will allow you to deepen worn screw slots. After this, it's a snap to properly (and safely!) unseat the screws. -- Ken T.
Tandem Bicycles
Riding a normal, single-rider bicycle is a very rewarding experience, but a tandem bicycle adds a whole new dimension to cycling. Different tandemists choose the long bike for different reasons:
The Skinny on Fat Tire Tandems
The mountain bike has revolutionized the solo bicycle market, but what are the implications of mountain-bike technology for the tandem market? Do mountain tandems make sense, and if so, for whom?
Hyponatremia: How To Recognize, Treat And Prevent It
As little as 2% dehydration adversely affects performance[1]. But as little as 2% overhydration can cause life-threatening hyponatremia[2]. Clearly, you need to get your hydration needs just right. Hydration must be coupled with adequate sodium intake; sodium losses can be significant during prolonged exercise[3,4]. Barr et al[3] observed an average loss of 12 g salt in six hours of cycling at 86 degrees F and 30% relative humidity (2 g more than the average US daily intake of 10 g).
Myths & Milestones in Bicycle Evolution
by William Hudson. What do the following have in common: a derailleur gear, an aluminum frame, the freewheel, disk wheels, anatomical saddles, clipless pedals, suspension, folding bikes? Answer: they were all ideas that originated in the late 1800s.
Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia - Bicycle
A bicycle, or bike, is a pedal-driven land vehicle with two wheels attached to a frame, one behind the other. First introduced in 19th-century Europe, it evolved quickly into its current design.

Minimizing Impact of Mountain Bikes on Single-Track Trails
Even though mountain bikes have been shown to have less impact on trails than do horses, they do have some impact, and on trails that are heavily used, this impact has become significant. I see five main problems:
Riding & Safety
Reducing Conflicts On Multi-use Trails
It takes more than one person to cause a conflict, so I have ideas for ALL trail users to help decrease the severity and amount of conflicts on multi-use trails and fire roads. The first thing that we must do is check our attitudes. We must not judge others who use the trail. Regardless of the manner in which they use the trail, they are basically out there to enjoy nature and to enjoy their sport, whether it be hiking, backpacking, horse riding, or mountain biking. These forms of trail use have been shown to be similar in impact, and are all valid ways in which people enjoy natural areas. Restricting any one group is a form of discrimination.

Happy as a HangmanPosted on Dec 6, 2010
By Chris Hedges (Page 2) Organs of state repression do not rely so much on fanatics and sadists as ordinary citizens who are desperate, who need a job, who are willing to obey. Arendt relates a story of a Jew who is released from Buchenwald. The freed Jew encountered, among the SS men who gave him certificates of release, a former schoolmate, whom he did not address but stared at. The SS guard spontaneously explained to his former friend: "You must understand, I have five years of unemployment behind me. They can do anything they want with me." Arendt also quotes an interview with a camp official at Majdanek. The camp official concedes that he has assisted in the gassing and burying of people alive. But when he is asked, "Do you know the Russians will hang you?" he bursts into tears. "Why should they? What have I done?" he says. I can imagine, should the rule of law ever one day be applied to the insurance companies responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans denied medical care, that there will be the same confused response from insurance executives. What is frightening in collapsing societies is not only the killers, sadists, murderers and psychopaths who rise up out of the moral swamp to take power, but the huge numbers of ordinary people who become complicit in state crimes. I saw this during the war in El Salvador and the war in Bosnia. It is easy to understand a demented enemy. It is puzzling to understand a rational and normal one. True evil, as Goethe understood, is not always palpable. It is "to render invisible another human consciousness." Advertisement Square, Site wide "If only there were vile people ... committing evil deeds, and if it were only necessary to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them," Solzhenitsyn wrote. "But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?" The expansions of public and private organs of state security, from Homeland Security to the mercenary forces we are building in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the burgeoning internal intelligence organizations, exist because these "ordinary" citizens, many of whom are caring fathers and mothers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, have confused conformity to the state with innocence. Family values are used, especially by the Christian right, as the exclusive definition of public morality. Politicians, including President Obama, who betray the working class, wage doomed imperial wars, abandon families to home foreclosures and bank repossessions, and refuse to restore habeas corpus, are morally "good" because they are loyal husbands and fathers. Infidelity, instead of corporate murder, becomes in this absurd moral reasoning the highest and most unforgivable offense. The bureaucrats who maintain these repressive state organs, who prosecute the illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or who maintain corporate structures that perpetuate human suffering, can define themselves as good—as innocent—as long as they are seen as traditional family men and women who are compliant to the laws of the state. And this redefinition of civic engagement permits us to suspend moral judgment and finally common sense. Do your job. Do not ask questions. Do not think. If these bureaucrats were challenged for the crimes they are complicit in committing, including the steady dismantling of the democratic state, they would react with the same disbelief as the camp guard at Majdanek. Those who serve as functionaries within corporations such as Goldman Sachs or ExxonMobil and carry out crimes ask of their masters that they be exempted from personal responsibility for the acts they commit. They serve corporate structures that kill, but, as Arendt notes, the corporate employee "does not regard himself as a murderer because he has not done it out of inclination but in his professional capacity." At home the corporate man or woman is meek. He or she has no proclivity to violence, although the corporate systems they serve by day pollute, impoverish, maim and kill. Those who do not carry out acts of rebellion, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, are guilty of solidifying and perpetuating these crimes. Those who do not act delude themselves into believing they are innocent. They are not. Chris Hedges is a senior fellow at The Nation Institute and a weekly columnist for Truthdig. His newest book is "Death of the Liberal Class." On Dec. 16 he, Daniel Ellsberg, Medea Benjamin, Ray McGovern, Dr. Margaret Flowers and several others will hold a rally across from the White House to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and attempt to chain themselves to the White House fence. More information on the Dec. 16 protest can be found at www.stopthesewars.org.

By James Stuart Sinclair, December 9, 2010 at 1:49 pm Link to this comment There is no point in blaming people for crimes committed by other people ("governments") far away. Nor is there any reason to believe that "the system" is salvageable. You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Bad people will stay bad. The only strategy that can work now is for decent folk to withdraw, circle the wagons, and create our own healthy communities and nations, such as we in the Gaiene Communion (http://www.gaienecommunion.org) are now beginning to do. The old games are over.
By MrWebster, December 9, 2010 at 1:20 pm Link to this comment Very painfully true article. In the truthdig radio interview Hedges elaborated a bit and shed light on a question I had about behaviors of people serving the corporate state. Who for example, in the insurance companies was denying claims? Who for example, was signing fraudalent forms to steal homes from people through foreclosure? Who started the process of having some people who were deliquent on payments arrested on bench warrants? It is amazing how faceless the media has kept the corporate state. We know of handful of people, but not the armies of people who implemented and supported the financial crimes. It is "normal" middle class people most likely with families. Also, about this idea of innocence. There is an irony here. When states move toward totalitarism, the entire population becomes supect and guilty of something with real implications. The government threatened students with job refusal if they innocently went to Wikileaks. Everybody is guilty in an airport security line and risks jail and fines for normal questions and behaviors. Police have permission to torture people with tasers for innocent questions during traffic stops. Nobody is innocent.
By Bean, December 9, 2010 at 7:12 am Link to this comment I came back to apologize for my comment about nutballs, but after reading the more recent posts, I decided I didn't really need to retract it. Less blog, more action!
By Patrick Morrissey, December 8, 2010 at 12:53 pm Link to this comment I remember what Bin Landen said when asked how he justified terror attack on innocent American civilians: he said they are not innocent because they pay taxes to support government and therefore they are complicint in crimes of government. So here you have case where your own government can put you in jail for not paying taxes and therefore loss your job and ability to support your family or to use Hedges logic you do pay taxes and then are morally complicit in crimes of governemnt. Not much of a choice.
By Ralph Kramden, December 8, 2010 at 1:58 am Link to this comment These are really desperate times. Moonraven's story about Jews in a limousine is a perfect illustration of what is wrong, not in America, but in the USA. The rest of America? there is hope of rebellion and working-class resistance, but not in the USA. I'm working class and when I would try to dissuade my fellow workers from shopping at WalMart, drinking Coors, going to Pizza Hut, the Home Depot, you know, our enemies, they would all ignore me because they wanted to be the next Donald Trump. They were too busy buying real estate to give a damn about the wages of those below them. Only the French can help us.
By Bean, December 8, 2010 at 12:37 am Link to this comment Wow. You all are a bunch of nutballs. What are you doing to start the revolution?
By Albatross, December 7, 2010 at 10:16 pm Link to this comment Just a point: please stop referring to our military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan as "wars." Doing so lends them far too much credibility and moral authority, and contributes to their perpetuation—as well as simply being factually wrong. Please refer to these military actions ONLY as 'occupations.' Wars are against enemy states: there are no enemy states opposing us in Iraq and Afghanistan, those states are nominally our allies. Wars end when victory conditions are met, but with no enemy state, victory conditions can never be met, thus the war can never end. Occupations, however, can only ever end. That's all they do - they continue, until one day they end. And that day can be any day. And usually, the sooner the better. Thanks.
By Winston Gold, December 7, 2010 at 2:51 pm Link to this comment In a larger context, some might say, morality is the topic of Hedges' fine article. Now, the root meaning of moral is, more or less, custom. This is generally codified as "law", at least historically. But in a political economy that depends on rapid change and exploitation neither law nor custom - "morality" - can have any meaning or usefulness. Thus what is called law is mere ukase, decrees by the criminal class enforced by their clients. Classically morality existed as the context for ethics, which has the root meaning of character. Now, in this chaotic revolutionary time, character itself has become, well, "criminal". The old UMW song "Which Side Are You On?" exhorts people to decide to show their character - and so does Hedges. Risky, but, well, who are you? |

Police spokesman Steve Martos says offers responding to a report of gunfire around 5:30 p.m. Friday discovered 50-year-old Hector Holguin, who suffered at least gunshot wound.
Holguin was transported to a hospital but he did not survive his injuries.
According to investigators, witnesses described two black males fleeing the scene in a white SUV.
Police say they are still trying to determine a motive.
They ask anyone with information to contact the Phoenix Police Department.

Since you have no physical access, I'm guessing this is a server? If it's got a proper RAID controller, you can't see the actual disks from inside the OS. Apart from using RAID management tools, there isn't any way around this, unless you've got light-out management. |

Try double-clicking on the disk drive in device manager to open the drive properties. Then, go to the "Details" tab and select the "Hardware Ids" property from the "Property" dropdown. Often, there are values in that property that give you the drive model or there are some hex values that you can do an internet search for to get the drive model. |

The New England Patriots will begin play in the AFC East when they travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills. It will be the Patriots third road game of the season. The Patriots own a 53-15 (.779) record in regular season AFC East games since the beginning of the 2001 season, compiling the best intra-division record of any team in the NFL.
After seven straight series sweeps and 15 straight wins by New England, Buffalo ended the streak with a 34-31 victory at Ralph Wilson Stadium in the first meeting of the two teams in 2011 on Sept. 25. The 15-game win streak is the third longest winning streak over a single opponent in NFL history. The Patriots avenged that loss in the 2011 regular season finale on Jan. 1, 2012 by overcoming a 21-0 first quarter deficit by scoring 49 unanswered points en route to a 49-21 victory.
The loss to Baltimore last week ended the Patriots' run of 145 consecutive games at .500 or better, the longest such streak in NFL history. Dallas had the second longest streak ever with 115 games at .500 or better (1965-1974). At 1-2, the Patriots are under .500 for the first time since starting the 2003 season with a 31-0 loss at Buffalo to start the season 0-1.
TELEVISION: This week's game will be broadcast to a regional audience by CBS and can be seen in Boston on WBZ-TV Channel 4. Greg Gumbel will handle play-by-play duties with Dan Dierdorf providing color. The game will be produced by Mark Wolff and directed by Bob Fishman.
RADIO: 98.5 FM, The Sports Hub, is the flagship station for the Patriots Radio Network. A complete listing of the network's 40 stations can be found here. Play-by-play broadcaster Gil Santos is in his 36th season as the voice of the Patriots and will call the action. Former Patriots quarterback Scott Zolak will handle the color commentary, taking over duties for Gino Cappelletti. Cappelletti, a member of the original Boston Patriots in 1960 and the all-time leading scorer in the American Football League's history, retired from the broadcast team after 31 years as the team's iconic color analyst.

A change of profession would also change the history of Marvin Lomax and the students he taught at the University of Tulsa for 28 years.
Lomax graduated from the University of Tulsa with a degree in chemistry and worked for a decade as a research chemist at a local oil company. At age 32 he decided to follow his passion for history and returned to school to become a college history professor. Within three years he obtained his doctorate and began a new career in academics.
Marvin M. Lomax Jr., History, Ph.D., University of New Mexico, a former University of Tulsa associate dean, history professor and a noted expert on medieval and Egyptian history, passed on July 20, 2010 at age 82.
"I had always had a fascination for ruins, but it never dawned on me I could make a living at it," Lomax told the Tulsa World in 1982.
A native of Cherryvale, Kansas, and a 1945 graduate of Tulsa Central High School, Marvin Lomax recieved his doctorate from the University of New Mexico. He taught at Northeastern State University before moving to the University of Tulsa in 1966. He retired from TU in 1994 as a professor emeritus. While at TU Lomax was president of the Faculty Senate and served on the Tulsa City-County Library Board. Lomax enjoyed his travels around the world with his most enjoyable in Egypt floating the Nile River.
Lomax was also a serious model train enthusiast. He devoted an entire room in his house for this hobby. Traveling by rail whenever he got the chance, Lomax was once part of a group that tried to bring passenger rail service to Oklahoma.
Lomax is survived by a brother, David Lomax.

Ibiquity Unveils New Licensing Incentive Program
Columbia, MD - Feb 21, 2007 - Ibiquity Digital has announced a new incentive program for broadcast groups installing HD Radio technology that extends current discounts on license fees for groups meeting certain conversion commitments. The program also allows participating groups to lock in discounts on future station acquisitions, making it particularly advantageous to smaller groups and independent station owners.
Per the terms of the program, any radio broadcast group not currently licensed under a previous Ibiquity Digital station conversion incentive program will have its primary audio license fees capped at $10K per station (HD Radio license fees are scheduled to increase to $15K per station in July 2007 and then to $25K in July 2008).
"The top 20 radio broadcast groups own just 20% of the AM and FM stations in the U.S., which means the overwhelming majority of the nation's radio stations are owned by small groups and independents," said Ron Davis, chairman of the Small Market Operators Caucus. "This new program is an especially good fit for small, independent broadcasters, as it will help us accelerate our transitions to digital."
Qualifying groups will commit to license and convert stations under the following terms:
- All group stations currently licensed with Ibiquity Digital must be converted under the existing license terms;
- At least one group station not already converted must be converted by Dec. 31, 2007;
- 50 percent of all group stations with revenues in excess of $300,000 must be converted by Dec. 31, 2010, based on a schedule outlined in the license commitment agreement (LCA);
- $2,000 of the $10,000 license fee for each station committed under the incentive is due by Sept. 30, 2007. The remaining $8,000 for each station is due at the time the station is licensed.
The discount applies to all group stations, pending the execution of a 2007 LCA between the group owner and Ibiquity Digital by Sept. 30, 2007. The LCA is available online at www.Ibiquity.com/broadcasters/becoming_a_broadcaster.
Radio magazine observation: The licensing fees for HD Radio have been a point of contention for many broadcasters, particularly the smaller and independent owners. This program does not eliminate the fees, but it does reduce the cost. Because of the licensing fees, some have viewed HD Radio as an interest only for the large owners. Ibiquity has an obvious financial interest in the development of its technology and wants to recoup those costs, but it also wants to encourage more stations to adopt the technology. Incentive programs such as this will help that effort.

I was a bit shocked by the seats that look as if they were inspired by red pleather pants. It amazes me that car companies employ people who specialize in interior colors and materials and then deliver something like this. In addition to the fashion faux pas, these seats also look to be showing quite a bit of wear with just 9000 miles on the odometer.
Seats aside, this is an excellent mid-size sedan. It's quite engaging to drive with impressive handling and ride that is slightly tighter than its competitors'. While it may be a bit of overkill, the all-wheel drive is a nice option that allows you to boot the throttle without worrying about traction loss or torque steer. The steering is overboosted and at low speeds sometimes feels like it's hunting to figure out how much assist it should provide. Still, the whole package is far sportier than most competitors without sacrificing comfort.
Eric Tingwall, Associate Editor
