Cruelty To Animals
Sponsored by Rep. Carl Gatto Co-Sponsors: Rep. Max Gruenberg, Rep. Bob Lynn |
"An Act relating to penalties for cruelty to animals; and relating to aggravating factors at sentencing involving assaultive behavior and cruelty to animals." Posted: March 13, 2009 A strong connection has been documented linking animal abuse and domestic violence. There is credible evidence that individuals who practice violent acts against animals also present a danger to the public. Intentional animal abuse is often seen in association with other serious crimes including drug offenses, gang activity, weapons violations, sexual assault and domestic violence—and can be one of the most visible parts of the entire history of antisocial behavior.

Over the past few weeks I've written posts about how to find award space on Star Alliance and how to find award space on OneWorld, so it's time to round out the series with a post about how to find award space on SkyTeam. Let me start by saying that it's no coincidence that I saved finding SkyTeam award space for last – there's no doubt in my mind that SkyTeam has the least useful tools for finding award space, and even the tools that exist are mostly broken and require serious creativity.
SkyTeam consists of airlines like Delta, Air France, Alitalia, KLM, and Korean Air. If you're a TravelSort reader, chances are that if you have SkyTeam miles they're with Delta (since they're the most valuable in the alliance, in my opinion), so we'll go through this post with that assumption in mind. Delta SkyMiles are commonly referred to as SkyPesos given how devalued they are compared to the mileage currencies of other US airlines, and it's for good reason, as you'll discover below if you haven't already through firsthand experience.
Partner Airlines
Before getting started, it's helpful to mention all the SkyTeam Alliance members, so you know the partner airlines you can book with: Air France, Alitalia, Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Air Europa, China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, Czech Airlines, Kenya Airways, KLM, Korean Air, TAROM, and Vietnam Airlines. Don't forget "Secret" Out of Alliance Award Redemptions as well, such as V Australia.
Award Chart
The first tool you'll need to understand Delta's award structure is their award chart. They'll first ask you to select the country you're originating in. Once you select that you'll see they have three award levels for each class – low, medium, and high. The prices displayed are all one-way (even though Delta charges the same for a one-way award that they do for a roundtrip), so as you get started searching for award availability make sure you keep the chart readily available for reference, because you'll sure need it.
A couple more pointers:
Changes and Cancellations
So let's go through the various tools I use for searching SkyTeam award space:
Delta's Website
On the award front, Delta's website is as dysfunctional as it gets, and something tells me Delta likes it that way (after all, members can't get good value out of their miles if they don't know how to use them).
Now go to their search tool, which can be accessed by clicking "SkyMiles" on the top right of the homepage, then "Use Miles," and then "Award Ticket Reservations," which will bring you to the search tool. Up front it helps to know that Delta's website displays award availability on Delta, Air France, KLM, and Alitalia, so that you know what to expect. Korean Air award availability can't be searched on Delta's website, or anywhere else online for that matter. The only way to search Korean Air space is by calling Delta SkyMiles (which definitely isn't the most competent call center out there).
The only way you'll get any real use out of Delta's search tool is to search segment by segment. Delta is the opposite of most airlines – through them it's a lot easier to find international award availability at the "low" level than domestic availability at the "low" level. This is because many of their partner airlines are good about releasing award space (like Air France and Alitalia), and all partner award inventory offered to Delta is at the low level, while Delta likes to price availability on their own flights at the medium or high level.
Given that the international segment is a lot more important than the domestic segment to many (I ultimately don't mind buying a separate domestic ticket to the international gateway), I suggest starting by searching the international segment for availability first. I also suggest always searching availability as one-ways. This is because if you search for a roundtrip ticket and one direction books into the "low" level and one into the medium or high level, you won't know which direction books into which category, so will have a hard time building on it. Furthermore, Delta's website screws up the pricing of roundtrip awards all the time.
So if you want to go from Tampa to Paris, for example, I would start by searching for availability to Paris out of Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, and New York which are the connection points that will get me from Tampa to Paris on SkyTeam in one stop.
As soon as I identify a business class option for 100,000 miles (which is the low level), I would start to look for award space from Tampa to Atlanta.
One thing that's key is that there may not be "low" level award space from Tampa to Atlanta in first class, so be sure to always check coach space as well. I don't mind flying coach from Tampa to Atlanta as it's only a one-hour flight, especially if it will save me a lot of miles.
Then continue building the itinerary segment by segment until you have an itinerary that books into the low level the entire way. Once you have that itinerary, I suggest putting it all together using the multi-city search tool. As you go through the pages it will present you lots of options so be sure you select the flights you found at the low level, and then when it prices it should price correctly.
The one other thing that's useful about the Delta search tool is that they have an award calendar that will give you a 30 day view of award availability, showing whether the available space is at the low, medium, or high level. This can be incredibly useful, though I still suggest searching the outbound and return separately as one-ways to get the best results. If you're flexible with dates you might actually find Delta SkyMiles to be incredibly valuable using this method.
I still find ExpertFlyer to be the most useful tool for researching Air France and KLM award space, and perhaps that's just out of habit.
If you're an ExpertFlyer member (it's a subscription service) you can log-in and click on "Awards & Upgrades." Then select the airline you want to search award space on and the appropriate fare classes. So if you want to search Air France award space, select "Air France" as the airline and then click on "Business – Classic Awards & Upgrades (O)." Make sure you always choose the "classic" option and never the flexible option, as that would be the equivalent of a high level award, which would be much more expensive.
Then select your preferred date, and keep in mind that ExpertFlyer lets you search availability for a week at a time by clicking "+/- 3 days."
Make sure you only search availability for one segment at a time, or else you won't get accurate results. So if you want award space from Tampa to Paris, you'll only want to search for award space from Atlanta, Detroit, etc., using ExpertFlyer, and find award space for the domestic segment out of Tampa using delta.com.
It's also worth noting that Air Europa belongs to SkyTeam, which is a not-so-well known airline based in Madrid. They fly to New York and Miami and actually release two business class award seats on many flights, so if you want to go to Spain that might just be your best bet. You can find their award space on ExpertFlyer, and I find it to be one of the best kept secrets when it comes to SkyTeam award availability.
One last ExprtFlyer tip: when you're searching for availability a week at a time, be sure you click on "refine search" when you start a new search instead of starting all over. That way your previous search is saved, and all you have to do is change the date range you want to search. It will save you a lot of time.
Air France's Website
Air France's website is handy for searching award availability on Air France and KLM given that they have a calendar view. In order to use the tool you have to be a Flying Blue member (registration is free) and log-in with your credentials.
Once you're logged in click on "Book Your Award Tickets" which will bring you to their search tool.
Enter your preferred origin, destination, dates, and cabin, and click on "search." On the next page you'll be given a calendar display of award availability. As long as the option with the lowest number of miles is displayed, you should be able to book this through Delta or any other SkyTeam member.
On the next page you'll see availability, and once again as long as it displays "Classic Award," this should be bookable.
When You'll Need to Call an Agent
So those are the basics. Finding SkyTeam award space is the ultimate test of patience, though there are some great bargains to be had if you know how to find them.
If you have any questions just post them below and I'll get to them as soon as I can.

It's very important to note that Delta's calendar is not as useful as Ben suggests it is. First, it often reports low availability when there isn't. Second, it only considers Delta flights, so it might show medium or high when in fact there are Air France, KLM, or Alitalia flights available (and thus at low mileage). On the other hand, the Air France site checks all partners that it can search when producing a calendar. Since it includes some of the Asian partners (China Southern and Vietnam Airlines, for instance), it can be more helpful for crossing the Pacific than delta.com. Basically, don't waste your time searching on delta.com until you've found what you need on Air France's site. Oh, and it's Air Europa, not Air Europe. |
Hilary Stockton commented 05 Oct 2011 | |
Mitch, thanks for your comment and catching the Air Europe typo; we had it as Air Europa earlier in the article, but I've fixed the second mention. |
Ben Schlappig commented 05 Oct 2011 | |
@ Mitch -- Thanks for the comment. The calendar view is far from perfect, because as you mention it's often inaccurate (and as I mention at the beginning of this post, a lot of these tools are broken). But if someone's incredibly flexible I still find it to be very useful. Yes, it will be wrong quite a bit of the time, but if you browse through dates and have lots of flexibility, it will give you a good idea of what to expect. It's also useful because sometimes a "low" level award isn't an option and you end up needing a mid-level award (be it because you're going during a busy travel period, destination is only served by Delta, etc.), which Air France's website wouldn't display. |

How do you find V Australia award availability and book it? |
Ben Schlappig commented 08 Oct 2011 | |
@ Jim -- You have to sign up for a Velocity Rewards account and search for saver award space on them. If it's available you have to call Delta and they should be able to book it. |
Pepper L. commented 19 Oct 2011 | |
Thanks for the tip on booking v australia. what about delta skymiles to tahiti? can one combine a long trip from US to tahiti and to australia? maybe japan/hawaii along the way? |
Hilary Stockton commented 19 Oct 2011 | |
Hi Pepper, yes--Air Tahiti Nui and Air France are both Delta partners and fly to Tahiti (see http://travelsort.com/blog/best-secret-out-of-alliance-award-redemptions) so you should be able to stopover in Tahiti en route to Australia or New Zealand. It will be tough finding availability during peak seasons, and the flights (at least for Air France) aren't every day. I don't think you'll be able to get Japan/Hawaii on the same award to Tahiti; you'd need a separate award for that. |
Ri Z. commented 02 Nov 2011 | |
Hi Ben, When is the best time to book Delta seats to Asia(PVG, NRT, HKG, NGO, PEK) for December 2012 using skypemiles? I'm flying out of PHL to one of the connections listed above to connect to SGN on China Eastern/Shanghai Airlines or Vietnam Airlines.
331 days out?
When I took a quick glance at award availability for next summer... it seems like there is ALMOST NONE low tier coach award availability for next summer??
Have they all been reserved or Delta hasn't release any and won't until xxxx days before the summer when they have a better idea on seat availability?
Well, during the "low season" such as February, March, April , October, and November I see some availability, so option 2 would be travelling during end of November around Thanksgiving.
Thank you
Ben Schlappig commented 02 Nov 2011 | |
@ Ri -- Delta availability typically is best either 331 days out or within a week of departure. Unfortunately availability is just awful during peak times, so it's not unusual for them to not release anything at 11 months out, and only release space within a week or so of departure. So I wouldn't count on being able to use Delta miles during peak travel periods, unfortunately, especially since Korean Air has blackout dates, making availability even worse. |

An altered balance between Th1 and Th2 cytokines is responsible for a variety of immunoinflammatory disorders such as asthma, yet the role of posttranscriptional mechanisms, such as those mediated by microRNAs (miRs), in adjusting the relative magnitude and balance of Th cytokine expression have been largely unexplored. In this study, we show that miR-21 has a central role in setting a balance between Th1 and Th2 responses to Ags. Targeted ablation of miR-21 in mice led to reduced lung eosinophilia after allergen challenge, with a broadly reprogrammed immunoactivation transcriptome and significantly increased levels of the Th1 cytokine IFN-γ. Biological network-based transcriptome analysis of OVA-challenged miR-21(-/-) mice identified an unexpected prominent dysregulation of IL-12/IFN-γ pathways as the most significantly affected in the lungs, with a key role for miR-21 in IFN-γ signaling and T cell polarization, consistent with a functional miR-21 binding site in IL-12p35. In support of these hypotheses, miR-21 deficiency led dendritic cells to produce more IL-12 after LPS stimulation and OVA-challenged CD4(+) T lymphocytes to produce increased IFN-γ and decreased IL-4. Further, loss of miR-21 significantly enhanced the Th1-associated delayed-type hypersensitivity cutaneous responses. Thus, our results define miR-21 as a major regulator of Th1 versus Th2 responses, defining a new mechanism for regulating polarized immunoinflammatory responses.

Cetera CEO Valerie Brown on how as advisers look forward, being able to embrace technology to complement their client relationships will allow them to adapt and withstand the changing times.
Video Transcript
The adviser in the future will continue to play the
role here she played today, which is the consultant confidant
educator to his or her client. This will remain in
relationship-based business. With that said is more and more tools
and information becomes available on the internet. There's already a
lot. The educator role is gonna become more and more
important to the adviser as he interacts with this client.
In his business, he will need to become a data
minor data analyst to be able to be relevant and
timely for his or her client. As we look for
the next 20 to 30 years, the data suggest $41
trillion are going to move from the boomers to the
millennials. And those of us who have millennials' children, we
know they really like to interact different. They still have
relationships, but they interact very differently. So, as advisers look
forward being able to embrace that technology market through that
technology and interact and educate through that technology is king.
The other thing I would know is that as boomers
are in the retirement phase actually assets are coming down
for the adviser and so one thing you will see
consistently the top issue advisers are facing is, how do
I bring on new relationships and new assets to my
practice? And I think the great opportunity that's a win
for us in this industry is we talk a lot
about the aging of our adviser population. Advisers in the
independent space had been more reluctant perhaps to bring on
new people to their firms. Those were recognizing this trend
towards millennials. To be able to bring the technology into
their practice, they need somebody younger in their firm to
help him do it. I think there's a win, win,
win here. There's a win for the client because they'll
be able to interaction with their adviser in the way
they want to. There's a win for the adviser because
now he or she are gonna be able to replace
a lot of assets. They're moving out through retirement income
and there's a win for us firms because the next
generation now are going to be embraced by these practices.
You know, I think one of the dangerous advisers we
have today is to think that this business is a
commodity-- because it isn't. Relationships are never a commodity. And
so how do advisers stand out? I think they need
to understand the clients that they really resonate with the
best and develop a communication strategy and a relationship building
strategy with them such that those clients refer friends that
look like them. And the most successful advisers we see
in our networks are advisers who actually employ that strategy
and it works very, very well. Now, this needs to
be enabled by technology, which it is at Sotera, but
it is critical going forward to recognize relationship. I never
think it will remain king that referrals will bring in
the new assets.

This lip balm offers broad spectrum sun protection from zinc oxide but it contains several fragrance chemicals known to be irritating to skin (lips, too). One of the fragrance chemicals is eugenol, and it is especially irritating because it kills skin cells and damaged healthy collagen production (Source: Toxicologic Pathology, August 2007, pages 693-701).

How this Israel-based brand of skin-care products came to be so widely distributed is an impressive marketing feat. It's sold in over a dozen countries and we've seen it locally in such diverse places as Safeway (a grocery store) and Ulta (a salon/spa/cosmetics boutique). Business is booming in the natural products market, and it appears that the Yes To brand is on its way to being one of the frontrunners! Yes To products were even featured on the popular daytime talk show The View. Clearly, this line has attracted the attention both of consumers and the media.
Why all the fuss? We'll do our best to explain, but the simple reality is that the success of this brand is due to the fact that lots of consumers want natural products, regardless of whether or not the formula is beneficial for skin. Many women (but not those who read our reviews) are completely unaware that many of the products from the so-called "natural" product lines contain just as many synthetic ingredients as "unnatural" brands. That's no longer the case with Yes To products, but not too long ago, it was!
The Yes To brand is divided into four sub-brands: Yes To Carrots, Yes To Cucumbers, Yes To Tomatoes and Yes To Blueberries. The original launch and the largest group is Yes To Carrots. After the carrot-containing products became a hit, the company began to assemble a tossed salad of other products, including their Yes To Cucumbers, Yes To Tomatoes, and Yes to Blueberries. What next? We're anticipating Yes To Lettuce and Yes To Blue Cheese Dressing, that way you can make a complete salad!
All kidding aside, Yes To products are worth a look if you prefer mostly natural ingredients, though not every natural ingredient Yes To uses has been proven beneficial for skin, and some are problematic. As with most natural-themed lines, there are a handful of Yes To products to consider. But few of them are state-of-the-art and there are no products to successfully manage acne or blackheads, lighten skin discolorations, or significantly reduce redness
Although it is commendable that Yes To doesn't make over-the-top anti-aging claims, a skin-care line should help take care of skin's daily needs, and this line's products are somewhat lacking. All the fruits, vegetables, and any natural ingredient you can name isn't enough to protect skin from the cumulative damage of unprotected sun exposure (the Yes To brand does sell a couple of excellent sunscreens) or to satisfy other skin-care needs. It's a nice idea to think that tomatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, and blueberries are as good for your skin when applied topically as they are for your health when consumed as part of a healthy diet, but that's simply not the case. Still, if you shop this line carefully you'll come away with some workable products that are pleasant to use.

I'm still working on my mahogany front door. It's looking so beautiful!
I am about ready to put something on it, and was all set to go get the $4 or 5 paint base that dries clear. It's so well recommended for exterior stuff everywhere I read. Latex based vs. oil based, too. Then, I just searched under weathering mahogany, (because I like the grayed colors) and keep reading about Cabot's Australian Timber Oil as the best for an exterior sealant. What's your recommendation and why? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Have not had good luck with ATO in past few years. |
And.... Have you used something instead? |

Oils provide minimal protection and will allow the wood to age, that you indicate is desirable. They need to be renewed frequently (every year or two), but that is easy. This would be an "in the wood" finish. Paint base would be more protective, last longer and be an "on the wood" finish. Neither is correct or best, it's what you want. For an accelerated patina, see the below. |

Thanks, bobsmyuncle. I'm aware of the baking soda trick. It works beautifully on cedar. I'm not so sure on Mahogany. You state "Neither is correct or best" Thanks, |
I would look at TWP (Amteco brand) products. While mainly aimed at the deck market, they have some finishes (TWP 300 SERIES) that might provide what you want. Other than that, spar varnish and a resignation to maintenance on a regular basis (polish and a new coat for spar). |
Ready Seal or Armstrong Clark produts |
Well, it was just a little too late and I already had purchased the ATO. Why did you have bad experiences and what were they? |

Philosophy:TW- Tips for Applying to the Blog
April 19, 2012 in Philosophy:TW
Tips for Applying to the Blog
As you are reading this, I hope you are up to the task of becoming part of the Blog team, an honor that includes both great responsibility and an awesome purple color on your forum name (wahoo!) in one package.
The Applicant
To become a blogger, you will need to have a certain level of control over both what you write and how you act. But that's where the similarities end- being a blogger isn't just for English majors living in their parents' basements, it's for anyone and everyone who can string together a catchy piece of writing and also report quality and current information on his or her world's happenings and more. A combination of ability, willingness, and familiarity with the game, as well as a clean in-game and forum record is key to landing a spot on the team. Most importantly, you have to be YOU. As a team, the Blog staff is filled with people from all walks of life from students to salesmen to teachers. Your literary voice and your personality are key to being a good blogger through gaining respect and status in and from your world.
Bloggers must be older than (or equal to) 16 years of age. If you're 15 and are mature, erudite (or at least, know what erudite means), and willing, you are welcome to try. You really must be extremely talented if you are under 16 for us to even consider hiring you.
It is also required that you understand the game or have played for at least six months.
By applying for the blog, you are committing that you have read our Code of Conduct and the various requirements listed in the application instructions. If you can't see yourself blogging five to six months from acceptance, then consider waiting until your schedule clears up or your crazy life calms down (point no. 2- we like our bloggers sane).
Also, we really don't like people who completely disregard proper grammar and spelling. We don't mind if you have a mistake here or there, but please, please, PLEASE proofread and brush up on your English if you feel you are rusty. Likewise, trying to use large words you don't know (often called the Thesaurus Syndrome) can also end up not very pretty. As I said before, be yourself (just don't write in leet/1337 or ignore basic rules of English).
The Application
Your application IS your first impression. It needs to be clear, proofread, and honest. The information you give us in the application will not be shared with the team; only the Blog Administrator, Assistant Administrator, and Head Bloggers (as well as the TW.net administration, although they generally stick to their own turf) will be able to read what you write. Please answer all the required questions, although you may omit the optional ones if they are personal.
As the application is your first impression, we will use it not only as a source for information, but also as a way to judge your English skills. Be sure to use full sentences and proper grammar when writing your application… the more you can show, the better. However, as I said before, don't try to do something you don't know how to do… the rest of the blog team is here to help you, and we can teach you additional devices if necessary.
After the questions, there is an area for a Mock Blog, which is pretty much half of your application. We need to see what you can do, and this gives us an excellent glance at what your blogs could look like. Some major things to include in your mock blog are:
- Maps (of the game, of noblings in wars, etc.)
- Graphs and Charts (especially for war statistics)
- An Interview (not necessary, but great to have!)
- Current Events (describe how the world is)
- War Statistics (with Analysis)
The one key thing to remember with your mock blog is to reduce bias as much as you can. Try to avoid bias-inducing phrases such as "I think" or subjective superlatives (best, coolest, stupidest, most awesome). It's okay to write from more of an editorial standpoint, as long as you acknowledge both sides and try your hardest to not cast one in a different light than the other. Stick to objective things like score, relation, etc.
So, you think you want to be a blogger? Check out the application here and create a new topic in the Blog Staff Applications forum. We'll look it over and get back to you. There are tons of reasons to blog, including the great community, the ability to meet with world leaders and talk over issues with powerful players, and more. Consider blogging today!

Cannabis and Healthcare 2014
2014 saw the beginning of legalized cannabis shops in Denver Colorado. What does this mean for us as Healthcare professionals, will we see a reduction in alcohol related diseases? Or will we see an increase in Cannabis related diseases?
The eyes of the world are watching the new experimental POT shops, which have recently opened in Colorado, selling legalized Cannabis for everyday consumption, for everyday people. Who would have thought that this would happen in our lifetime! The lines went round blocks and shops feared they would run out quickly.
It is estimated that 37 shops opened their doors 1st January 2014, and by January 6th 2014 speculation is mounting that shops will soon run out of supply.
It is estimated that over 1 million dollars was spent in the first 24 hours on legalized Pot.
Do we think that people want cannabis to be legalized, do people think we should be allowed to buy 'pot' from shops, yep I think we can safely say if this past week has shown anything, that everyday people want to buy pot.
Although it has to be pointed out that in all photos, videos and media shows there appeared to be a huge population of men shopping and buying pot than women! I did not actually see a woman in the shops, I am sure there were some?
I can see it now, 'Honey can you pop out to the pot shop for me'
Alcohol companies are fearful for a drop in profits, and I think they should be! For the addictive personality swapping one addiction for another may well be the way forward.
As healthcare professionals we should consider how this might actually benefit our patients, the cost to lives, reduction in violent crimes, reduction in ER visits and all the other health care benefits we are lead to believe happens if you smoke cannabis.
There are many research projects out there, attempting to prove that cannabis is safe, that cannabis has many health properties.
According to one source there has never been an overdose of cannabis because you have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times the amount of THC (short for Tetrahydrocannabinolin),which is present in a joint to be at the risk of dying.
Police worry that using cannabis increases the chances of moving onto harder drugs, but there are no scientific studies to date that support this claim. Police also worry that using cannabis will increase violent crimes, behavior and suicidal tendencies, again at this time there is no scientific study to confirm this belief.
In 2010, overdoses were responsible for 38,329 deaths. Sixty percent of those were related to prescription drugs. In the same year, a total 25,692 died of alcohol induced issues , including accidental poisoning and disease from dependent use.
Benefits to our patients include but are not limited to...- Antiemetic for general patients
- Increased Appetite for the chronic sick and elderly patients
- Decreasing neuropathic pain, especially with MS patients
- Reduction of pressure within the eyes of glaucoma patients
- Some studies have shown reduction in tumors in cancer patients (although studies are not conclusive but we can expect a lot more studies in the future)
- Reduction of nausea in chemotherapy patients and increase of appetite
Side Effects
Short-term (one to two hours) effects on the cardiovascular system can include increased heart rate, dilation of blood vessels, and fluctuations in blood pressure
Short-term memory loss
Increase in psychosis (newer studies are disputing this)
Schizophrenia (newer studies are disputing this)
Drop of about 8% IQ in patients under 18, although starting after 18 does not appear to cause an IQ drop
Driving is impaired and studies in the UK say if you drive within 3 hours of smoking cannabis you are twice as likely of having an accident.
An interesting side note, shares in one cannabis growing company increased their share prices by 53% overnight!Last edit by Joe V on Jan 6, '14About madwife2002, BSN, RN

7Jan 6, '14 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorIt is good to note that the state boards in Colorado have not changed their views on the use of marijuanaHow Colorado's Legalization of Marijuana Impacts Physicians
By Steven R. Kabler of Miller Kabler, P.C. posted in Controlled Substances on Friday, November 9, 2012.
In the 2012 election, Colorado's voters approved a new constitutional amendment legalizing marijuana for recreational use. This comes five years after Colorado's legalization of medical marijuana in 2007. In the wake of these laws, the question arises as to how the Colorado Medical Board will treat marijuana use by physicians. The short answer is that the Board will view marijuana use exactly the same as it did before it was legal.This approach is also echoed by other boards, such as nursing or dentistry, where a referral to Peer Assistance Services is a foregone conclusion where provider drug use is involved. Legalization for medical use did not change this view, and legalization for recreational use will likely not change that view either.9Jan 6, '14 by Nursefor20yearsI personally believe marijuana for adults is far better for you than alcohol, sleeping pills or pain pills. It has medicinal uses that are far safer than pills. I don't know that I agree with recreational use, but medicinal with a real purpose I agree with.6Jan 6, '14 by Flyboy17The problem with how we legalized marijuana in our country is really an issue. Everyone says tax it and end the war on drugs save money and make money. Win Win. Not the case in Colorado and Washington. We completly legaized marijuana, which means we can buy it , sell it, grow it, do what ever we want. In countries like Amsterdam you can only buy it and use it. That is how Holland makes its money. The Government grows it and sells. In the U.S. it will be much more difficlut to actually tax something that is legal to grow, no diffrent than those of us that grow our own gardens. So the war on drugs will be over to an extent but then it will turn into the war on tax evasion, and we will still need more regulators in the field.
The next issue will be testing. We will have to develop a better testing system. Companies can only tell an employee that they cannot be high while at work, just as they do with alcohol. If a person wants to smoke on Friday night but work on Monday they should be able to. The effects will be gone by then just as the effects of drinking would be gone. However they would still test positive. This is another issue that was not fixed before legaliztion and will cause unneccesary job losses and lawsuits.1Jan 6, '14 by lub dubQuote from Esme12I was wondering how the nursing profession in Colorado would handle this. Can't say that I agree, but at least they have taken a stand...It is good to note that the state boards in Colorado have not changed their views on the use of marijuanaThe nursing board follows the physician point of view.Esme12 likes this.3Jan 6, '14 by whealerThese are very valid points! What is ultimately intriguing about legalization of marijuana is that it sheds light on how we treat and view pot users, testing being the biggest issue. I foresee momentary good but plenty of backlash that will hopefully lead to a major revolution, which will hopefully change the way we practice safer and acceptable drug use in our society.
I am for both recreational and medicinal use of marijuana with better education and better peer support. Practices held to the highest taboo in America are often practiced unsafely; legalization will hopefully shed marijuana use of its unfair notoriety and promote its beneficial usages while managing expectations of many who are smoking it for the first time.2Jan 6, '14 by TheGoochEmployers will still be able to fire employees that test positive for marijuana use in Colorado. Also, it's not being sold everywhere in the state-that's why there are such long lines in the cities and counties that do allow it's sale. That was part of the law that was passed-it's legal to posses up to an ounce for people who live here but cities and counties have the right to decide whether it will be legal to set up pot shops in them. Denver and Pueblo are the two major cities that have allowed it.jmiraRN and madwife2002 like this.

It is Wildflower Time!
This year is proving to be a little unusual – spring break has ended, and we have moved directly into an early wildflower season! If you have friends or customers who have been asking when to visit the Texas Hill Country for bluebonnets – the time is now. Depending on location, those who study the bluebonnets are estimating the peak of the bluebonnet season will be around the end of March. However, it is important to remind folks that other wildflowers will be blooming well into May/early June around Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.
As you talk to folks about wildflowers, please remind them to respect private property. Crawling over fences into private property for that perfect bluebonnet picture is illegal.
Great places to view wildflowers (and take pictures) include Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area and the Live Oak Wilderness Trail at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park in Fredericksburg. And don't forget to point visitors toward Wildseed Farms – the Drummond Phlox, bluebonnets and red poppies are blooming there.
Mother Nature is putting on a great show this year – the centennial year of Lady Bird Johnson's birth. Seems somehow appropriate!
Visitor Survey Dates Selected
The Fredericksburg Convention and Visitor Bureau (FCVB), in conjunction with Core Research of San Antonio, will once again be conducting visitor research. The first wave of the year-long project will be Friday, April 13 through Sunday, April 22. We will be calling local industry partners and asking you to participate by: (1) placing the research cards and a collection box in your business and (2) having your frontline staff encourage visitors to participate. We will need a minimum of 50 survey locations in Fredericksburg and the county. The goal is to collect a total of 4,000 survey cards during the ten days.
The information collected helps the FCVB better market Fredericksburg and Gillespie County to potential visitors. If we know the age of our visitors, where they live, their income levels, why they come to our destination, how much they spend, how long they stay and much more, we know where to spend our marketing dollars to find more potential visitors who will respond positively to our sales messages.
When a FCVB staffer calls, please say "yes, we would love to participate by collecting surveys." By helping collect the surveys, you will help the FCVB to generate more visitors for the destination and thereby more potential customers for your business. Thanks for your consideration. If your business collects surveys, you will receive a free copy of the visitor research report at the end of the 12-month period.
Van Der Stucken Music Festival is this Friday

Republican mayoral candidate John Catsimatidis, a business mogul, keeps deriding his frontrunner opponent Joe Lhota as a "bureaucrat."
But while Lhota has indeed served in various governmental positions, he's also worked extensively in the private sector, and been successful in both.
Catsimatidis, on the other hand, has led a rags-to-riches life and built an impressive business empire. But he has no experience in government at all, and really doesn't bring enough to the table to be a legitimate candidate.
Lhota may have been a bureaucrat, but he's one who understands finance. He was Mayor Giuliani's first-term budget director, and successfully negotiated contracts with the unions that were fair and did not break the bank. The next mayor will be faced with the lack of a current contract for any city union, and is going to have to spend a lot of time and energy working out compromises. Lhota spoke at length about how he would do that in an interview with the Queens Chronicle, and it's clear he has the plan and the experience that can bring about accords with the workers.
In the business world, Lhota has served as an executive with Madison Square Garden and Cablevision, two very successful operations. More proof of his financial acumen.
Back on the government side, after serving as Giuliani's budget director, Lhota became director of operations, and that's the post he held on Sept. 11, 2001. While the eyes of the world were focused on the horror, Lhota was busy ensuring the city government could still function. He succeeded there too, getting garbage service to most of Manhattan on Sept. 12, getting city paychecks out that same day and getting schools up and running the next week.
Twelve years later, when he was chairman of the MTA, Lhota was tested again, though this time with warning. He wisely shut down the transit system before Hurricane Sandy struck, minimizing the damage to vital transportation infrastructure. And the damage that simply could not be avoided was repaired as quickly as it could be.
Lhota has a great resume for a mayoral candidate, as well as a reassuring personality, and we gladly endorse him in the Republican primary Sept. 10. See page 8 for our Democratic choice.

I'd like to share a forsythia that has been on my grandmother's property with some of my cousins. Can I take cuttings from it and get it to root to share? I'm in Middle Tennessee and they will be one of the first plants to bloom when the weather starts into spring. |

hit the link ..... read down a bit... and you might be surprised how easy it is ... just happened to read your post.... and it reminded me about this site.. check out page 4 of the article for all the things you can bloom in the house, this time of year...i am heading out with the pruners this afternoon ... for crabs, forsythia, cherry, quince,mock orange, red bud and spirea ... go figure ... ken |
Here is a link that might be useful: FYI
Forsythia is very easy to propagate with cuttings. Sometimes blooming cuttings will root when brought indoors and placed in water. The easiest time is during their dormant season, like Dec/Jan, but cuttings in summer, and fall also work well. It's important to protect them from drying when leafed out cuttings are made by covering with clear plastic. |

Take some low limbs, push them down to the ground, cover part of the stem with a shovel of dirt and you will have roots very shortly. |
- Posted by newbie_in_nj 6b E/Central NJ (My Page) on Tue, Apr 15, 08 at 10:50
I'm bumping this if it's possible from an original post dated back in '06. The links I've seen say it's best to root and/or transplant in the fall when the forsythia is dormant. Is that the only time that will yield good results or is this monster strong enough to withstand rooting and/or transplant most any time of year. It's in full bloom right now and I can take some of the limbs that have transplanted themselves in the ground around the main Jolly Green Giants and move them if anyone who's had experience thinks they'd have a chance of surviving with enough moisture after transplant. Can wait until blooms are off but want to fill in a space at top of driveway that has too much root competition for most other plantings. Our Forsythia is the thug where it's interspersed among pine trees and evergreens. Since the mother bushes are tough as nails I don't want to presume that will make taking rooted limbs from around it any easier...or if I can deviate from the recommended fall transplant time. I was going to propogate from cuttings but there are so many babies already rooted all around mother bushes which I'll just be hacking out after all blooms are gone (or with regular fall pruning regimen) I might as well use the already rooted babies. Thanks in advance for any experience/advice you might have to offer. |
ive done both, cuttings and babies off the mother plant. they both work great, ive did this in spring and fall. the cuttings i just stuck in the ground n left em, they grew all on their own with no help from me. the babies i just cut off the mother plant dug up n planted. |

I'm looking at a new 5 ton System..
I have prices for the XR13 with the GAM5 air handler that is 13.75 SEER And a XR15 with the GAM5 air handler that is 14 SEER, and is 350.00 more? Is there any difference in these condensers that warrants the extra cost? d |

dbmet here are the performance/eff numbers on the 5 ton XR13 and XR15 paired with GAM5 air handler. 4150902 Active Systems XR13 TRANE 4TTR3060D1 GAM5A0C60M51 58500 11.00 13.75 4150923 Active Systems XR15 TRANE 4TTR5060E1 GAM5A0C60M51 56000 11.50 14.00 I would say under this comparison the XR15 is not worth it. However, if good dehumidification is important to your area/climate, then I would want the var speed air handler. 4385366 Active Systems XR15 TRANE 4TTR5060E1 *AM7A0C60H51 57000 12.00 14.50 4385368 Active Systems XR15 TRANE 4TTR5061E1 *AM7A0C60H51 57500 13.00 16.00 The second choice is two stg with var speed air handler and has the best numbers. I still would consider the HP version. But if you are intent on going with AC with heat strip, I would definitely want the heat strip staged. IMO |
Thanks I've been looking all over for those numbers.Thanks again ..I think the TAM7 is out of my price range currently.. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 18:37
dbmet you should ask about the TAM7. to the dealer, the wholesale cost is only several humdred dollars more. get your negotiating skills in gear! IMO |
Define Several hundred dollars...If you knew how many quotes I've asked for on all the lennox equipment and then the Trane equipment, I think I've driven him crazy..Haha |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Mon, Jun 13, 11 at 20:40
dbmet 2-3 hundred dollars is dealer's cost difference. OK I understand. LOL. just wanted you to know. hope I've helped with the info. A properly informed homeowner makes the best decision. IMO |
Yup you helped alot..I have been searching the ari site and couldn't find that match to save my life.. Maybe I will ask him anyway..Figure if I'm spending that much whats one more question after this many..Lol |
Can anyone tell me more about how the TAM7 will work with the XR13 or XR15? Is it variable speed all the time? Does it only run on low when it needs to or high when it needs to? |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Sun, Jun 19, 11 at 18:26
dbmet you have rec'd good info on the other forum about the var speed air handler. besides the quiet operation, it does help with humidity control. and if humidity is a big concern, you can include a thermostat that allows for "dehumidify on demand" feature. For your location/climate, I think it would be a better choice than the high eff TAM5 mdl air handler. IMO |
Anybody know if the TAM7 will match up with the HoneyWell Prestige Hd Thermostat and work well? They want an arm and leg for the new TZone 950 thermostat and relay panel |

How can you identify a Callies crankshaft?
Please provide our technical department with the 5 or 6 digit serial number and they can help you identify your crankshaft. Since 2000, Callies has an electronic record of all Callies crankshafts produced. *Callies is not responsible if the dimensions of the questioned crankshaft have been changed since its production date, i.e. pin and main journal sizes.
What is a Callies "Stealth" Crankshaft?
We often hear the word Stealth used to identify a Callies crankshaft. This is understandable, since the very first days of Callies Performance Products the word Stealth has been present in both our big and small block Chevy forgings. In the early years of Callies, the word Stealth gave our product a trade name. It was also strategically placed to allow Tech. Inspectors an easy way to identify the crankshaft's source and if it were billet in origin.
Callies Performance Products began manufacturing crankshafts for the performance market over 25 years ago. By today's standards CNC machining in the mid 1980's was very fundamental. Significant advancements in CNC programming software, computer memory and processing speeds have given us capabilities that had been unthinkable during those early years. These continually advancing capabilities and the never ending quest for product improvement have brought us today to the point of a fully machined crankshaft. For the most part there are no (As Forged) surfaces left on our current crankshafts.
To this day, our forgings have the word Stealth formed into the #1 pin arm just as they have for the past 25 years. The Callies Stealth crank lives on, but in today's highly refined condition the original trade name is no longer visible.
Your crankshaft regardless of age can easily be identified by the Serial Number stamped into the face of the number one counterweight. Callies maintains a complete process history for every crankshaft produced over the last fourteen years. We can easily validate the authenticity of any crankshaft produced in our facility. Call us anytime to verify that your component is a genuine Callies Crankshaft.
What is the proper procedure for installing stud kits?
Installation Instructions:
1. Make sure threads in crankshaft are clean and are good threads.
2. Lightly coat the end of the stud going into the crank with "NEVER-SEEZ" (note: "Never-Seez" is the only material to be used!)
3. Install stud with 15 ft./lbs. of torque. DO NOT use any Loctite type products.
4. Install damper and accessories.
5. Install .300″ thick washer. Make sure the surface the washer is going against is parallel.
6. Lightly coat threaded area where the nut goes and coat the bearing surface of the nut with "NEVER-SEEZ."
7. Install nut using 75 ft./lbs. of torque. (except CPPI-013F use 65 ft./lbs. of torque)
Stud Kits Available: | "A" – "B" Dimension | Correct Stud Kit |
(Kit Includes 6pt. Nut, .300″ Thick Ground Washer & Stud) | 0.770″ to 0.832″ | CPPI-013D 7/16″ x 5.409″ |
0.803″ to 1.819″ | CPPI-013G 7/16″ x 6.396″ | |
1.640″ to 3.819″ | CPPI-013E 7/16″ x 8.396″ | |
3.042″ to 5.819″ | CPPI-013F 7/16″ x 10.396″ |
I am refreshing my motor, but I lost the connecting rod instuction sheet, what are the proper torque specs for my rod bolts?
See all of our torque and stretch specs below.

I really love the finish of this foundation! They have a great selection of skintones as well. I'm in the shade Deuville, which is perfect for me in the winter. I have dry/combination skin and this foundation does not last very long on my face:( I'm used to not wearing a powder because of having dry skin but find that I do need a translucent poweder with this. I still love this foundation though because it does NOT dry me out and with a powder looks very nautural and glowy. One complaint I do have is that if I touch my face it does come off... I normally wouldn't continue wearing a foundation with this issue buttttttt it just looks so stunning on the skin. Packaging looks really nice but a definite pain in the bum.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Let me just start off by saying I LOVE this foundation. The name is very deceptive since its neither sheer nor does it have a glow. This is the most natural foundation i have ever used! this has a medium coverage, so it evens out my skin but not my acne scars and it doesn't necessarily have a glow. I have normal skin, neither dry or oily, but by the end of the day I get a beautiful sheen. It doesnt look dewy it just looks natural. One thing I hate about this foundation is the packaging. Now I dont care if it has a pump or not but the cap leaks which is soo annoying cause it always makes a mess. Next time i order this foundation i am getting a pump for sure. Another downside is the staying power...it sucks. I hate using powder because no matter what i do it looks perfect at first but then ends up looks cakey by the end of the day. I apply this at 5 in the morning and get home at about 2 in the afternoon adn thats about 9 hours and on its own this foundation does not last that long. I spray it with urban decay all nighter spray and it last FOREVER. once again i dont powder at all just spray.
The shade selection is perfect for people with olive and yellow skin tone. I have the shade stromboli and i am a nc30-35 in mac.

Holy shade match, Batman. Nars Sheer Glow in Siberia is possibly the best color match I've found out of the tons of foundations I've tried. The finish is matte on my skin with a bit of 'glow', and while it won't cover dark marks or acne, it does a good job at concealing redness in the skin.
Unfortunately, this foundation has one big negative which makes me unable to use it - I have dry skin, and the flakes that this foundation creates are kind of insane. It looks fine from a few feet away, but up close, it's just bad. Applying it over a moisturizer or a foundation base doesn't look much better. Blending it into one of my moisturizing, full coverage BB creams will lead to a product that maintains the color of Siberia and offers full coverage...but still looks very dry on me up close. It's not unusual for a foundation to occasionally enhance dry spots, but very few foundations lead to this unfortunate an overall texture, so I have to chalk it up to the formula.
The great shade match makes this a foundation worth experimenting with, but I have yet to find a way to make it look good on my skin.

I did use up the entire bottle of this foundation, and I did not hate it; but this winter has just been merciless on my skin. The coverage is medium, it applies smoothly and does not cling at all to any of my random dry patches, the shade I have is quite a decent match, and it does look beautiful when first applied.
But, I generally have oily skin, but it has gotten much oilier now that I am either in extremely dry, cold winter temperatures with plenty of wind, or spending 6 and a half hours in an office with 80 degree, dry heat. I tried using a heavy moisturizer underneathe, thin layers of serums and thin moisturizers, to just average middle of the road moisturizers. I always set with a loose powder, ocassionally I will use a pressed powder, no luck keeping the oils at bay.
Since this has not been able to keep up with my oily skin this winter, I doubt it would fair much better in the summer. When I start to get oily, and do not have time to touch up, this just becomes impossible to fix. I really only need it to last 6.5 hours sitting in an office, but no luck. I know it might be asking a lot from a foundation, and you may not have the same issues as I do, but if you do, I would not reccommend this.

I really like this foundation, it's exactly what the name says, it's sheer, and adds a glow to your skin. For reference, I am an NC 43 and I wear the shade syracuse. My skin is pretty clear, I have some unevenness in texture near my jaw line, little bumps under my skin, have been there since childhood, and a couple acne scars. This does a good job in giving me the coverage I need, I do use a little bit of concealer on my scars, and on my dark circle. The thing I like best about this foundation is the colour match, I have always found it difficult to find a foundation that matches my skin exactly, MAC has always been too orange or too yellow, and Bobby Brown hasn't quite worked well with me skin. I find that this product adds the right amount of sheen on dry to combination skin, it doesn't make my skin look overly oily, I would be fine if I didn't powder it, but I like my skin a little on the matte side so I powder it lightly and it looks great.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this foundation !!! I like to apply with a beauty blender over my Nars light optimizing primer.... Perfection! I would definitely recommend this combination if you want that beautiful Jlo glow :)
I really wanted to like this. For $45 I REALLY wanted to like this. I bought this while I was in England, and the first couple of tries went fine. I have fine skin and bought this on a whim while at a Nars counter after hearing a lot of awesome reviews about it on youtube. In addition, I have dry skin and thought this might help add a dewy effect. When I returned to the US, my battle with this foundation began. It has the tendency to settle into any dry patch on my face, and then some! I would come home with dryness all over my cheeks, in the crevices of my nose, and on my chin where I have never been so dry before. This foundation does the exact opposite of what I was hoping for and brings out the dryness in my skin (and the dryness isn't even THAT bad!).
I will keep using it for the time being. I have tried multiple techniques to make this work: heavily moisturizing, using a primer, mixing with a moisturizer, using a setting spray, setting with a powder, and it's just not working. I hope this will work better when it starts getting warm out again!

I bought this foundation after reading so many great reviews on it. When I first got this foundation I wasn't that big of a fan, as I felt it went oily and set on top of my skin rather then sinking into my skin. And I wasn't using any setting powder over the top.
But after coming back to this foundation as I was so fed up with my current foundation (the shade being so wrong!) I now love it! I have the lightest shade and it's a perfect match for my skin. I also now powder over the top of this with Hourglass Diffused Light powder. And it really set the foundation without making it look dry or built-up. I find the best brush to make this foundation really work is a flat top dense foundation brush. It really buffed the foundation into my skin.
Edit: I have now stopped using this foundation as it has caused me many breakouts sadly. If this doesn't irate your skin then it is a great foundation, but for me it does not work at all.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really didn't want to love this as much as I do, becuase for me it's insanely pricey. But it's worth the $45 bucks.
I have very yellow undertones and my skin gets very pale in winter and very tan in summer. I purchased this in Light 4 Deauville which is about NC20, so it's great for my pale skin and also my yellow undertone. The color selection is great and it's the best color match I've EVER found for my skin.The staying power is also really good for a dewy foundation like this. I can wear it for about 8-10 hours (I use UD all nighter spray to set it).
I have very dry, sensitive and acne prone skin. This doesn't break me out or irritate. I also have a large amoutn of dark hyperpigmentation and the frequent breakout. I was worried this foundation wouldn't give me enough coverage, but it is very buildable and actually covers well. I can use this with two layers and a full coverage concealer on my hyperpigmentation. I actually get compliments on my skin when I wear this, which never happens!
Cons- It can be a bit heavy/cakey if you don't buff in and use light layers to build up coverage. The price is also a bit outrageous for me as I'm usually on a budget. The packaging SUCKS and the cap to mine won't even stay screwed on correctly.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First off I would like to say that most foundations cling to my dry patch right between my eyebrows. This foundation is no exception. I find it clings more than my stila one strep oil free foundation. This is meant for normal to dry skin however i think it would only be good for me in summer. Luckily the shade I got (Punjab) is my summer shade and not my year round shade. I personally can't use this in winter or fall. If it wasn't for that I would say it would be almost perfect.
- can be any coverage you want it to be, (sheer to full) I personall apply a little and get sheer coverage. But you can build it up to a fuller coverage
- good for normal skin types
- well package + they offer a pump to be purchased (which I bought)
- lots of color selection for different shades of skin
- free of most harsh chemicals (main reason I got it, I am going for paraben free makeup):
- Clings to dry patches
- On the pricey side (L'oreal lumi would be a better alternative)

The programme for medium-sized investments covers subsidies for the purchase of equipment and for the setting up of data collections, associated programming and bibliographies. One of the conditions for receiving an award is that the proposal must clearly make a nationally accessible contribution to the infrastructure which cannot be acquired by purchasing.
The projects awarded are:
Integration of the European second generation
Dr M.R.J. (Maurice) Crul, Migration and Ethnic Studies, Universiteit van Amsterdam
The researchers are investigating how the children of immigrants integrate into their new home country. How do they fair on the employment market, where do they go and live, how do they experience their identity, and what sort of educational courses do they follow? Many different aspects are considered in this study which follows three ethnic groups in 15 cities in 8 different countries.
Magnetic lab for cognitive neurosciences
Prof. V.A.F. (Victor) Lamme, Psychonomics, Universiteit van Amsterdam
The researchers are investigating the brain in action with the help of magnetic stimulation. With this technique brain processes can be activated in a safe and reversible manner. The researchers then use EEGs to study the effects of the magnetic stimulation on visual perception, working memory, consciousness, concentration and cognitive error settlement.
Cluster computer for genetic matching research
Dr D. (Danielle) Posthuma, Biological Psychology, Vrije Universiteit
Genetic analyses are becoming increasingly more commonplace. However calculating power is crucial for meaningful statements about the statistical aspects. As making a single analysis sometimes takes several days, serial calculations are no longer an option. The researchers are using a new, fast computer to perform parallel calculations.
Virtual environment technology for social psychology
Dr D.H.J. (Dani�l) Wigboldus, Social Psychology, Radboud University
The researchers are introducing a new virtual technology to the Netherlands to carry out socio-psychological research. The technique is used to create three-dimensional, computer-generated environments, which scientists can use to test psychological theories in a completely controlled environment.

Another CBS Digital Furor
While CBS News president Andrew Heyward has since said he "do[es]n't want to apologize for being aggressive in exploiting" this technology, a band of digital satirists who used similar cut-and-paste techniques with CBS News broadcasts have inspired a different breed of enthusiasm from the network.
Last month, CBS lawyers discovered the humorous excursions of a Columbus, Ohio, trio of found-sound sampler-jockeys -- the Evolution Control Committee -- whose 1998 single "Rocked by Rape" sliced and spliced Dan Rather utterances (including the song's title), CBS News theme music, and assorted outtakes from the band AC/DC.
CBS wasn't amused.
"Your use of [Rather's voice and the CBS Evening News theme song] significantly infringes upon the copyrights owned by CBS," network attorney Sanford I. Kryle wrote in a 19 January email to the Evolution Control Committee's San Francisco record label, Eerie Materials.
"Furthermore, your use of Mr. Rather's voice is interfering with his right of publicity and has created a false impression that Mr. Rather and CBS have endorsed or are connected with the sound recording which is misleading and deceptive to the public."
"Rocked" begins with the intro music to the CBS Evening News and greets the listener with the newscaster's dulcet "Good evening." However, as the drum track picks up, Rather segues directly into a four-minute verbal chop suey of destruction, depravity, and mayhem over a thunder of heavy metal.
With just as much warning, the closing theme is cued as one of the most trusted voices in America signs off with a saccharine "Good night and have a great weekend."

Last month, everyone's favorite dance-punk band Gossip released "Perfect World", the first track off their newest album A Joyful Noise. With it's electro-disco vibes, the catchy tune finds the band sounding poppier than ever before. Check out the brand new music video for "Perfect World" here:
Directed by Price James, the video (shot in a London medieval church) draws inspiration from sources as varied as Renaissance paintings and the Wizard of Oz.
A Joyful Noise is a new direction for the band who is as well-known for constant reinvention as they are for their live performances. Vocalist Beth Ditto claims to have, "spent the whole year listening to ABBA and not listening to the radio," which explains the infectious poppy energy driving the album.
Gossip will be playing NYC's Terminal 5 on May 22, the date A Joyful Noise is set to drop. Tickets are on sale today.
