Klitschko on knee: 'It is so painful'
Heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko's mandatory title defense against former champ Hasim Rahman, scheduled for Nov. 12 in Las Vegas, was postponed Saturday night because of a right knee injury Klitschko suffered in training.
This is the fourth time this year that Klitschko has postponed the fight because of various injuries. It was originally scheduled for April 30 but then pushed into June and again into July before being scheduled again for next week.
Klitschko, speaking to ESPN.com from Los Angeles late Saturday, sounded devastated by the postponement.
"I feel terrible. I'm very disappointed about what's happened with my knee," Klitschko said. "It's amazing. So much trouble I have this year. I am sorry for my team who worked with me to get ready for the past 10 weeks. I am sorry for all the boxing audience, and I am sorry to Rahman and his camp. But it happened. I don't want to go inside the ring with horrible pain. It is so painful.
"I hope as soon as possible I will fight again. I hope the problem is not so huge. But I am sorry for this. I don't know what more I can say," he said.
Klitschko suffered the injury while sparring in the eighth round of a scheduled 10-round session on Thursday evening in Los Angeles.
According to Bernd Bonte, Klitschko's manager, Klitschko had an MRI on his knee Thursday night but the results were not read until Friday morning. Bonte said they showed that Klitschko had a torn meniscus.
"In the eighth round, he twisted his knee and really hurt it," Bonte said. "He was shaking his knee. He tried to go on. On his next step, the knee was completely instable. Then we spoke to [Top Rank promoter Bob] Arum and told him we have a big problem."
On Saturday, Klitschko was examined by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tony Daly, fitted with a brace for the knee and tried sparring again with the brace to see if he was comfortable.
"Vitali said, 'Let's give it a try.' So he tried a brace but he couldn't do it," Bonte said. "After one round of sparring, it was over."
Said Arum: "I was at the gym, and he worked out with the new brace. When he went backward and made sudden movements, the knee buckled. It just didn't work. We certainly tried to keep the fight on."
Arum said he was hopeful he would be able to announce a new date for the fight next week.
"I don't think it can happen this year," he said. "He has to go see the doctor and we will evaluate things. I have no idea of the timetable."
Bonte said Klitschko would see a knee specialist in Colorado next week.
Rahman told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap that Klitschko has "wasted a year of my life" and that he had heard rumors that the champion's "sparring partners were knocking him out in the gym."
Rahman was leaving his Oregon training camp Saturday for a flight to Las Vegas.
"All year long he's been ducking me. This doesn't happen by happenstance," Rahman said. "I've been more of a champion [without] the championship than he's been with the championship. I'm the one acting like a champion."
Arum said that Klitschko was initially "hopeful" that he would be able to fight but after the sparring session he realized he could not go through with it.
"He was crushed and disappointed," Arum said. "He was devastated. But he can't go into a fight where he can't go backwards or side to side."
Bonte said that Klitschko did not want to get into the ring only to have to quit after a few rounds.
"He could have gone in the ring for two rounds and then quit and taken the $8 million," Bonte said. "But Vitali wouldn't do that. He doesn't want to rip off the public. That is the most important thing. More important than the money."
Rahman manager Steve Nelson said there was "total disappointment" that the fight was called off.
"We haven't had time to take it all in but we are so disappointed," Nelson said. "We know Rock was prepared to regain the heavyweight championship. Right now, we have to sit down and explore our options."
Said Rahman: "There's gonna be hell to pay for this. [But] I'm like a cat, I'm always going to land on my feet."
Because of injuries, Klitschko (35-2, 34 KOs) hasn't fought since his first title defense on Dec. 11, 2004, an eighth-round knockout of Danny Williams.
Rahman (41-5-1, 33 KOs), tired of waiting for Klitschko, claimed the interim WBC title in August when he outpointed Monte Barrett.
When the Klitschko and Rahman camps could not agree to a new deal for the bout, it went to a purse bid. Arum, who does not promote either fighter, surprised the boxing industry with a winning bid of $12.001 million, beating Rahman promoter Don King's $11 million offer and two others.
Both fighters were in line for substantial paydays. Klitschko was due a career high of at least $7.8 million. Rahman, who recently declared bankruptcy, was due a much-needed $4.2 million purse.
"Four times he's pulled out. Unprecedented," Rahman said. "And you are the champ. Cut it out, cut it out, cut it out."

HOUSTON (ICIS)--The US rig count fell sharply by 94 week on week and by 199 year on year, reaching 1,223, Baker Hughes said on Friday.
This week's decline was the biggest on records going back to 1987, Reuters reported.
Crude rallied sharply on the same day, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settling at $48.24/bbl, up $3.71, and Brent settling at $52.99/bbl, up $3.86.
Still, oil is far from its most recent peak in June, when Brent was $115/bbl.

Liz Lemon's Guide to Being a Lady
We're Lizzing with excitement! It's Tina Fey's birthday today, and in honor of the funny lady's 44th, we're celebrating her most beloved role: Liz Lemon on 30 Rock. During the show's run, Tina turned Liz into a TV icon for the modern woman. Liz is a confident and successful working woman and loyal friend, yet she's still hilariously self-deprecating in a relatable way. And we can appreciate her sense of humor about her dating life, which included a string of handsome goofball love interests played by the likes of Matt Damon, Jon Hamm, Jason Sudeikis, and James Franco. It was a fun run watching Liz find her own version of happily-ever-after. Now let's honor her with some of our favorite Liz Lemon GIFs. After all, there "ain't no party like a Liz Lemon party 'cause a Liz Lemon party is MANDATORY!"

About the show: Traveling the world for a decade, Grammy-winning producer/engineer Mark Johnson and the Playing For Change team brought together diverse musicians in a heroic effort to inspire peace through the universal language of music. Their ambitious journey took them from post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites and conflict regions of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and beyond.
Using innovative mobile technology, the PFC crew filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors, in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, on cobblestone streets and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance created a kaleidoscopic new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart.
The group currently features:
Mohammed Alidu - djembe
Clarence Bekker - vocals
Peter Bunetta - drums
Grandpa Elliott - vocals/harmonica
Mermans Kenkosenki - vocals/congas
Ruth Lipuo Tsira - Vocals
Juan Portillo - electric bass
Louis Mhlanga - Electric guitar
Jason Tamba - Acoustic guitar
Francois Vigue - percussion

Al Dente has truly original Italian fare. Most of what they offer is a cut above the run of the mill mozz. sticks/garlic knots/chicken rolls that other Italian places offer. Their fried calamari is really excellent, and they have always delivered to me in a timely manner, quickly fixed any issues that may arise and are always cool to send an extra sauce or lemon wedge. HIGHLY recommended

The major problem was delivery time. They quoted 30-45 minutes, but it was almost an hour and half later. After a long day, this is last thing I need to do: wait for food. Never again...

The first full-length novel to feature White's recurring private investigator, Thomas Haftmann! Out of jail and back on the streets, Haftmann is hired to find a missing young girl in Boston. What he finds is far deadlier.
Posted October 29, 2012
Thomas Haftmann is a Private Investigator, the sole existentialist P.I. in Northern Ohio. He's also a former Detective with Cleveland Homicide. The story is sprinkled with Haftmann's Rules, things like, "Every existentialist in good standing must own a gun, and every week the existentialist rulebook says that the gun ought to me inserted barrel first into the mouth. Then you make a choice." I felt the existentialist PI bit played nicely throughout the book. Added to the character of Thomas Haftmann without getting in the way of the telling of the tale. In this story, Haftmann's client is John O'Reilly who has hired him to locate his estranged 17 year old daughter. Thing is, Annaliese Marie O'Reilly doesn't exactly want to be found. As the investigation gets going Haftmann learns plenty about the relationship between client and daughter that flat out disgust him. But, he doesn't give up. He never gives up. The author, Robert White, has a gift for dialog, imbuing each character with it's own cadence and attitude. The story itself was totally engrossing and at times I found myself getting lost in Haftmann's world. Things never quite turn out how you might expect and the investigation goes way beyond it's original scope. There some huge surprises. Stuff that left me asking, "What the hell just happened here"? Haftmann's Rules has plenty of disturbing images. One in particular, which will stick with me for a long time, involves a human water balloon. Needless to say, this book is for mature audiences and those not easily offended. I did feel the book started to drag a bit toward the end, but at the same time I can say it was worth the read and I can recommend Haftmann's Rules as a solid PI story. BTW, the character, Thomas Haftmann, has appeared in other works by Robert White, but they are not required reading and this is the first full-length novel to feature the character and it works very well as a stand-alone story. Haftmann's Rules, is published by Grand Mal Press and is available as a paperback and e-book from a wide variety of sources.

I was only very recently turned on to Crime Fiction by a very good friend who recommended Haftmann's Rules with very great enthusiasm.
I'm pleased to say it ranks on the list of "Best Books I've Ever Bought" on equal ground with Rilke and de Sade. Just as de Sade used fiction to delve into the deeper meanings of life, so too does White. His Thomas Haftmann character is probably one of the deepest individuals you'll ever meet. Mixing Philosophy with dark humor and stirring, emotional prose, White creates a man who will do whatever is necessary to not only combat other's demons for them as a fantastic Private Eye; but to also simultaneously combat his own, even if it means near self-destruction.
Bottom line? Get this book! Not only will you be treated to a wonderfully lurid (and at times filled with sexual tension) tale, but you'll emerge knowing the timeless, moving words of more than two great philosophers;Nietzsche and Buddah to name a few. And after reading this, I think you'll want to include Thomas Haftmann there as well.
It is a purchase that makes (to use a quote from Tom Haftmann himself), " being mudpies that God likes to play with" entirely worth it.
If you like David L. Lindsey, you'll love Robert White.

It's been a rough 15 years for Captain Planet. Watching the world slowly get more and more polluted has taken its toll. No one's really sure how he pays the rent. The Planeteers don't call anymore.
Spanish version of this film: http://bit.ly/sI2B1x
Rated 5 / 5 stars
"It's not a verb!!!" xD ...i lol'd. The ending's great too. I don't give 5's out like candy, but this one really made me laugh more than most of what I've seen lately. Favorited.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Leading up to it, the toon was okay. Parts were kind of funny, but I'm not a big fan of violent humor. But at the end when the woman was talking about the consequences of his actions related to the environment... it was just just too much for me to handle =]
Rated 4 / 5 stars
That was funny but kind of depressing but just a little I cracked up so hard about the "frittata is not a verb"!!!

It is being said by some in "nationalist" circles that those who choose a legal "underground" are cowards, as the streets are still open to us ? What streets ? Whose streets ? When White demos are kettled in like gold fish & when White demos cannot have total freedom of speech, then about time to face reality. The streets are currently lost. Legal political cells of PATRIOTS, such as legal UNDERGROUNDS throughout history (we say they are legal when no other choice) is all that is left. What point is there in being targets for state surveillance videos, etc., etc., etc. Those who choose the streets by all means. This note is written as the stance of the BPL . The Underground Patriots of WW2 were crucial to re-gaining freedom. We are in a war like scenario. War against our White Race and against our British Roots wherever we dwell. 3 or more genuine Patriots, clinking glasses , can declare themselves a legal political cell , furthered by confidentiality , towards FREEDOM !! { give your cell a " password " such as " Roger " , " Mary " , whatever…. } THROW EBOLA ( sorta rhymes with Boa snake & Obama ? ) THROW EBOLA INTO THE MIX : NOW WHAT SAY YOU ??

For centuries, the main sources of wealth were pearling, fishing, and trade. At one time, Qataris owned nearly one-third of the Persian Gulf fishing fleet. With the Great Depression and the introduction of Japan,s cultured-pearl industry, pearling in Qatar declined drastically.
The Qataris are mainly Sunni "Wahhabi" Muslims. Islam is the official religion, and Islamic jurisprudence is the basis of Qatar,s legal system. Arabic is the official language and English is the lingua franca. Education is compulsory and free for all Arab residents 6-16 years old. Qatar has an increasingly high literacy rate.
When the Turks left, at the beginning of World War I, the British recognized Sheikh Abdullah bin Jassim Al Thani as Ruler. The Al Thani family had lived in Qatar for 200 years. The 1916 treaty between the United Kingdom and Sheikh Abdullah was similar to those entered into by the British with other Gulf principalities. Under it, the Ruler agreed not to dispose of any of his territory except to the U.K. and not to enter into relationships with any other foreign government without British consent. In return, the British promised to protect Qatar from all aggression by sea and to lend their good offices in case of a land attack. A 1934 treaty granted more extensive British protection.
In 1935, a 75-year oil concession was granted to Qatar Petroleum Company, a subsidiary of the Iraq Petroleum Company, which was owned by Anglo-Dutch, French, and U.S. interests. High-quality oil was discovered in 1940 at Dukhan, on the western side of the Qatari peninsula. Exploitation was delayed by World War II, and oil exports did not begin until 1949.
During the 1950s and 1960s gradually increasing oil reserves brought prosperity, rapid immigration, substantial social progress, and the beginnings of Qatar,s modern history.
When the U.K. announced a policy in 1968 (reaffirmed in March 1971) of ending the treaty relationships with the Gulf sheikdoms, Qatar joined the other eight states then under British protection (the seven trucial sheikdoms--the present United Arab Emirates--and Bahrain) in a plan to form a union of Arab emirates. By mid-1971, however, the nine still had not agreed on terms of union, and the termination date (end of 1971) of the British treaty relationship was approaching. Accordingly, Qatar sought independence as a separate entity and became the fully independent State of Qatar on September 3, 1971.
The influx of expatriate Arabs has introduced ideas that call into question the tenets of Qatar,s traditional society, but there has been no serious challenge to Al Thani rule.
In February 1972, the Deputy Ruler and Prime Minister, Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad, deposed his cousin, Emir Ahmad, and assumed power. This move was supported by the key members of Al Thani and took place without violence or signs of political unrest.
On June 27, 1995, the Deputy Ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa, deposed his father Emir Khalifa in a bloodless coup. Emir Hamad and his father reconciled in 1996.
Qatar maintains an embassy in the United States at 4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20016 (tel. 202-274-1600) and expects to open a consulate in Houston in November 1997. Qatar,s Permanent Mission to the United Nations is at 747 Third Ave., 22nd floor, New York, NY 10017 (tel. 212-486-9335).
Qatar,s economy was in a downturn from 1982 to 1989. OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) quotas on crude oil production, the lower price for oil, and the generally unpromising outlook on international markets reduced oil earnings. In turn, the Qatari Government,s spending plans had to be cut to match lower income. The resulting recessionary local business climate caused many firms to lay off expatriate staff. With the economy recovering in the 1990s, expatriate populations, particularly from Egypt and South Asia, have grown again.
Oil production will not long return to peak levels of 500,000 barrels per day (b/d), as oil fields are projected to be mostly depleted by 2023. Fortunately, large natural gas reserves have been located off Qatar,s northeast coast. Qatar,s proved reserves of gas are the third-largest in the world, exceeding 7 trillion cubic meters. The economy was boosted in 1991 by completion of the $1.5-billion Phase I of North Field gas development. In 1996, the Qatargas project began exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Japan. Further phases of North Field gas development costing billions of dollars are in various stages of planning and development.
Qatar,s heavy industrial projects, all based in Umm Said, include a refinery with a 50,000 b/d capacity, a fertilizer plant for urea and ammonia, a steel plant, and a petrochemical plant. All these industries use gas for fuel. Most are joint ventures between European and Japanese firms and the state-owned Qatar General Petroleum Corporation (QGPC). The U.S. is the major equipment supplier for Qatar,s oil and gas industry, and U.S. companies are playing a major role in North Field gas development.
Qatar pursues a vigorous program of "Qatarization," under which all joint venture industries and government departments strive to move Qatari nationals into positions of greater authority. Growing numbers of foreign-educated Qataris, including many educated in the U.S., are returning home to assume key positions formerly occupied by expatriates. In order to control the influx of expatriate workers, Qatar has tightened the administration of its foreign manpower programs over the past several years. Security is the principal basis for Qatar,s strict entry and immigration rules and regulations.
In September 1992 tensions arose with Saudi Arabia when a Qatari border post was allegedly attacked by Saudi forces resulting in two deaths. Relations have since improved and a joint commission has been set up to demarcate the border as agreed between the two governments.
Qatar and Bahrain dispute ownership of the Hawar islands. The case is before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, while Saudi-led mediation efforts continue.
The U.S. Embassy in Qatar is located in Doha at 149 Ahmed bin Ali Street, Fariq bin Omran. Mailing address: P.O. Box 2399, Doha. Telephone: 974-864701/2/3; fax 861669. The embassy is open Saturday through Wednesday (Qatar,s workweek), closed for U.S. and Qatari holidays.

Ruth, your cartoon offers a perfect example of people who give opinion, not based on fact but on belief. Just one more way that delusion and denial becomes imbedded in our political and economic challenges. Global warming deniers are part of the problem, offering nothing to the solution.
We face a problem that is far greater than any we have faced before. The need to solve it, and quickly, means intelligence must be employed in order to reach our desired ends.

Hi Ruth - just changed to my old bookcross name.
One can't live in the US without having a high carbon footprint, unless perhaps you're homeless or living entirely off of an organic farm somewhere rural. Just getting food and avoiding hypothermia in the usual ways gives us a higher footprint than most residents of Africa or India. So yes, I see the parallel, ??Plinius?? What happened to your name?
Feels almost like religion, Ruth: we're guilty because we're alive.
I'm shocked to learn that!
"nearly two-thirds [of all human-generated carbon emissions] have been emitted since the first warnings were sounded about what was then called "global warming"..."
The article's analogy to 9/11 is a vivid one:
"Amazingly, the vast majority of people below the levels of the impacts made it out of both buildings -- largely despite the advice of the building's management, not because of it.
[...] you can think of the way we're living as an office tower and the fossil fuel economy as a plane crashing into it in very, very, very slow motion. [...]
Next comes the hard part: getting universities, cities, states, pension funds, and other financial entities to actually divest [from fossil fuel corporations...]
Once upon a time, similar entities swore that it was inconceivable to end the institution of slavery [...] once upon another time, you couldn't possibly give women the vote and change the whole face of democracy and public life, or require seatbelts and other extravagant safety devices, or limit the industrial processes that produce acid rain [....] Except that this country did all of that, over the gradually declining protests that it was too radical and burdensome. When radical shifts become the status quo, most forget how and why it happened and come to see that status quo as inevitable and even eternal, though many of its best aspects were the fruit of activism and change."
(emphases mine)
Tomgram: Rebecca Solnit, Evacuate the Economy
Rebecca Solonit makes a good case for bureaucrats and politicians responding to today's unprecedented crises as if they were yesterday's crises.
Sometimes the right thing to do in ordinary times is exactly the wrong thing to do in extraordinary times.
Also, I also didn't realize that
… 63% of all human-generated carbon emissions have been produced in the past 25 years; that is, nearly two-thirds have been emitted since the first warnings were sounded about what was then called "global warming" … We on Earth now, we who have been adults for at least 25 years, are the ones who have done more than all earlier human beings combined to unbalance the atmosphere of the planet, and thus its weather systems, oceans, and so much more. [emphasis mine]
Sigh, Grinning Cat I wish coal were dead. I don't see that happening globally or even here in the US.

The marriage record in the Kinderhook Reformed Dutch Church says Lydia was the widow of "Jan Wallis." I always thought this was Dutch for "John Wallace" but "Wells" is probably just as likely. I do not know of any record in the Kinderhook area of Lydia's marriage to Jan/John, so thought it likely that they were married elsewhere. I have also speculated that Jan/John was somehow killed in the French and Indian War which was going on at about that time, but of course it is just speculation and he could have died from just about anything in those days. On the same day Peter and Lydia were married, a child, Catherine, was baptized naming Peter and Lydia as the parents. However, I strongly suspect Catherine was Lydia's child by her first husband, and the baptism was by way of Peter adopting the child. Who was Henry Wells and where did he live? How did you find the Chesley message board? This is interesting and I hope it leads somewhere. Notify Administrator about this message?

The "American Idol" fourth-place curse continues.
James Durbin, the rocker born with Tourette's and Asperger's syndromes, was shockingly eliminated from the singing competition. Durbin had never been in the bottom two before Thursday night, and was one of the favorites to win.
He exited "American Idol" in fourth place, the same place as previous favorites Tamyra Gray (Season 1), LaToya London (Season 3), and Chris Daughtry (Season 5).
At the end of Wednesday night's broadcast, host Ryan Seacrest reminded viewers the importance of voting for their favorites, and cited Daughtry's departure as the reason why. Daughtry would later become one of the most commercially successful "Idol" contestants.
Judge Jennifer Lopez was upset by Durbin's elimination and cried after the results were read.
The final three are Lauren Alaina, Haley Reinhart, and Scotty McCreery.
Did James deserve to go? Tell us in the comments below.
Linda: 1356 days ago
Haley moves on?!?!?! Are you kidding me???? Can anyone say....R-E-C-O-U-N-T????!?
AD: 1356 days ago
I find it really hard to believe. Haley behaves like a total snot and is not even consistant. She has talent but nowhere near James.
Maddieboots: 1356 days ago
America would rather vote for a growling woman and a Josh Turner sound-alike that looks like the dude from the cover of MAD magazine?
James was TRUE TALENT--he didn't suck up to the judges, they never stood for him--he did his own thing and stayed true to himself--you knew what you were getting with James.
I am so DONE with IDOL!
Lori: 1356 days ago
R U kidding me America? Haley? She's the worst! James' rocked it. He will have a long career.
Katy: 1356 days ago
He absolutely did not deserve to go! He should've won the whole show - great voice and amazing performer. ANY of the other three should have gone tonight.
elle: 1356 days ago
no no no no....he should have won! he has been the best from the first audition. He will follow the steps of Doughtry and be a huge success......thank you James for all the great performances. it was a pleasure watching you.....congratulations!
New Orleans Viewer: 1356 days ago
James should have been in top 3. I would demand a re-count. Haley should NOT be in the top 3. Haley is a brat and appears to be difficult to work with. As long as you agree with what she does she is happy. That's it for me, I will NOT be watching American Idol again & I will Never buy anything haley sings. this was so wrong in all ways.
Maddieboots: 1356 days ago
Michelle--I hope all of your children are born defective like you--then some total azzclown such as yourself can ridcule them for being less than perfect!
He has Tourettes and Aspergers, buttglove. Educate your first grade mind and I will pray that you get explosive diarrhea!
Jason: 1356 days ago
Michelle, you are a total idiot. First of all, you forgot the word is in your stupid statement. You inbred, meth smoking idiots probably all voted at Kinkos for no talent losers like Scottie, and Haleys meth addict looking ass. I hope you get hit by a bus, and you end up like Stephen Hawking.
Durbin had talent in the rock area unheard of since Axl Rose in his prime, you inbred bitch.
New Orleans Viewer: 1356 days ago
Haley showed us the diva she is trying to be. this girl can not take any corrections. She is NOT star material. She will be eaten up by negative comments and attitudes as a star. Everyone will Not like you in show business and she feels she should be worshiped. Haley in the top 3??? I would demand a re-count and this was the last time i will ever watch american idol. That's it for me. James should have been in the top 3 i just can not phathom haley getting more votes.
Datch: 1356 days ago
In response to post #8... I am shocked that you would speak of another human being in such a horribly cruel manner! Your words are the very reason we now have laws to protect those with disabillities. You have no idea how much your comments reveal your own insecurities and limited intellect. Shame on you!
w fraser: 1356 days ago
I stopped watching Idol once the idiots voted off Pia Toscano.
Mike: 1356 days ago
I can't believe that combative little bitch Haley is still on. She is THE LEAST talented of the 3 left and I PRAY her snotty little self important ass,gets thrown off next week. It will bring me SUCH JOY, to see her in tears, as she is told by her parents how GREAT she is, as they have obviously done, her whole life. James, be thankful you didn't win. You are going to be as big as Daughtry, bro!! You were CONSISTENTLY GREAT!! And YES, the people with good taste in music, WILL give metal a chance when you release your first record. You rock, dude!!!
Roger Chartrand: 1356 days ago
You mean boring Scotty move on??? DUH Americans are quite the boring and conservative crowd... Simon Cowell we need you back on American Idol! You were always the best judges, right or wrong...
New Orleans Viewer: 1356 days ago
Michelle are you for real.
Anyone who makes the statement you did is totally uninformed and just plain stupid. For James to do what he did with Tourettes and Aspergers is awesome!!! James will continue and be a success. You on the other hand need to learn how to be a human being. Words can not express how silly your response is. God save us from narrow minded, uninformed people like you.
I now believe American Idol is fixed and there is something wrong with their counting system. Haley should be sent home.

Tonight we are staying at a Pilot Travel Centre, which means basically that we pull into a parking lot along with many big trucks and some other RVs and have available to us 24 hr washrooms etc. They even offer showers for $5 a piece. Intriguing for a budget minded Dutch girl like me!

Did I really want to see Chicago?

After about two hours in searing heat we get out of Chicago and we stop. I get off the bike and nearly fainted, I was suffering from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Two bottles of water and about 10 minutes later I was OK again.
Good to visit Chicago but not like that!
Another 100 miles and getting to the hotel, having a shower and then a couple of beers was very welcome indeed!!

mas1186 - 2001 Kia Sportage - Engine - 12/2/2013When you stop and the engine is warm, I will not crank again for about 30 mins or so until it cools down Idles up when in drive even when accelerator is not being pressed. Changed Idle AIr Controller to no Avail.
AutoMD Member - 2006 Kia Optima - Engine - 12/2/2013Also my check engine light has been on for a year. Multiple mechanics said they will diagnose and fix it. It may stay off for a few weeks and then reappear again.
12/2/2013 HouseCallAutoFind a more qualified mechanic, how to do that does not have just one answer, however, the position that you need to take (not sayin have a chip on your shoulder) but you need to know the codes that are stored in your computer before you bring it in and they need to know that you know the codes. You need them to promise in some way that the same code will not reappear a couple weeks after services rendered to correct a specific code, and if it does they have to make good on their promise and fix it for free. Obviously there is a limit to a warranty, but just staying ok for a few weeks is not a fix. I'll bet that if you erase the codes yourself with your very own code reader that you can buy from amazon.com for $20 without even performing a repair that the light might stay off an equal amount of time.
AutoMD Member - 2001 Kia Sportage - Engine - 11/20/2013kia 2001 sportage doesn't star (and fuel gage doesn't move from a quarte of a tank).
AutoMD Member - 2001 Kia Sportage - Engine - 11/20/2013fuel gage doesn't move(it shows a quarter of the tank) when cranking the car that won't start.
11/20/2013 HouseCallAutoCheck and see if the wiring under the rear seat that powers the fuel pump is chafing on a ground. Try unplugging the fuel pump and if the fuse does not blow when the key is turned on then yes the pump is bad. Look for a grounded wire first under the rear seat.
AutoMD Member - 2003 Kia Sedona - Engine - 10/26/2013engine runs smooth and great before and after stalling.
10/26/2013 HouseCallAutoIn order to rule out fuel pressure as a cause it would require that a fuel pressure gauge be hooked up and the gauge placed where you could monitor the gauge pressure and pay attention to what the pressure does as the vehicle goes into a stall. If it were a fuel pump then you would see pressure drop off rapidly during turning or braking.

10/8/2013 HouseCallAutoCan you detail further what led up to this? I answered your other question asking you for more info. Your welding *might* have caused this, although it's uncommon.
ashwood0609 - 2004 Kia Amanti - Engine - 10/8/2013removed cat.converter an instaled turbo muffler
10/7/2013 HouseCallAutoThere are fault codes stored in the engine module right now. You have to plug in a code reader and read the codes and repost with the code numbers. This is how this is diagnosed, no other way. You can obtain a code reader from amazon for $20 and reading the codes tales a few minutes. By the way you cannot remove a cat converter, its not legal to do so and you will never pass an inspection without it.10/7/2013 HouseCallAutoits not the O2 sensor10/8/2013 ashwood0609codes are p0155 p0161 p0135 p0141 p0102 p1118 p1178.
10/8/2013 HouseCallAutoThat is too many codes. I want more detail here. Why did you install a muffler and remove the cat? Did you have a running problem before? Do you have any wires that are not plugged in? The two codes P1118 and P1178 are for the throttle actuator which is your cause here. It seems this is an un-natural situation. Most of these codes could have been set by having sensors unplugged and starting the engine.

8/12/2013 frankiedonnnNot having an engine light does not mean that a code is not set in the P.C.M. Free scans are available at your local auto. parts outlets like Advance Auto. Auto zone etc. if you can get the car there.A scan code will make the diagnosis a lot quicker.Was the air filter checked too and what is the condition of the battery ? A battery thats on the way out could cause no start condition. Check the expiry date of the battery and have a load -test done on it or replace it if the expiry date is gone.The battery is the life of the car.Try some fuel injector cleaner in the gas as the fuel injectors and the plugs could be dirty. Also look for loose wires in the ignition systm and the ground wires : shake the black wires that are connected to the body of the vehicle to be sure none are loose .Check the smaller things first .8/24/2013 LindseyYeah I had it checked at advanced auto and everything was fine. Air filter is new. Now it starts just fine as long as the engine is cold. If I've been driving and stop somewhere on my way home it's very hard to start. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

We stayed at Hotel Paella Principe in May 2008. We had been driving all day and expected to sleep in Madrid, but all hotel were fully booked. As our intention was to drive to El Escorial the next day, we decided to call an hotel there and see if there were any rooms available. They had, and there we went.
The hotel was right opposite the monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, in the town's centre. We had a magnificent view of the monastery from our rooms (at the back of the hotel). We paid 60 euros (VAT included) for a double room. They were spacious ,clean and modern, both with mini-fridges.
We had dinner at the excellent Paella Principe's restaurant, on the ground floor. We were very pleased with the quality of our meals and the customer service. Breakfast was not included but could be taken at the same hotel for 3 euros.

Brebirousse D'Argental
An ooey-gooey wonder sure to please any crowd, with a creamy paste that threatens to run free of its annatto-tinged rind. Luscious and silky enough for brie-lovers, sheepy and full-flavored enough for the most adventurous palate, its bright orange rind refuses to be ignored, but its delicate sweetness balances the buttery intensity with aplomb.

'Tebow Bill' Passes in House, Awaits Action in Senate

Richmond – Home-schooled students in Virginia could participate in public school sports under the so-called "Tebow bill" that has been passed by the House and will be considered by a Senate committee this week.
Delegates voted 56-43 for House Bill 1442, which will be heard by the Senate Health and Education Committee on Thursday, Feb. 14. The bill, sponsored by Del. Robert Bell, R-Albemarle, would require public schools to allow home-schoolers to participate in sports and other extracurricular activities.
Many parents who home-school their children support the legislation, which is nicknamed for NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, who played football for his local high school while being home-schooled in Florida.
"I should be able to choose whether my kids play sports or not," said Brad Foster, the father of five athletic home-schooled boys in Culpeper.
Currently in Virginia, no student who is being educated at home can join a public school sports team during the regular season. Families with home-schooled athletes like Foster's must find other ways to participate in sports or opt out of playing sports completely.
Foster said the opportunity for his children to play sports goes away once they reached middle school. To allow his children to play sports, Foster has organized a basketball team. However, that's expensive because home-schooling families must rent gym space whereas public schools provide everything for sports teams, Foster said.
"We want to use the privilege because we also pay taxes for [public schools] as well," Foster said. Parents who home-school their children are not exempt from taxes.
Virginia has more than 32,000 home-schoolers, including about 8,000 at the high school level, according to the Virginia Department of Education. Albemarle County, for example, has more than 500 home-schoolers.
The Keyser family in Albemarle County also has struggled with the problem. Ethan Keyser, 17, is a junior in high school and likes to play football and lacrosse.
"I would like the opportunity to try out on a high school athletic team," Ethan said.
Until high school, he played both sports because of various recreation teams, according to his father, Matt Keyser. Now that Ethan is in high school, he cannot play either sport except during off-season.
During off-season, Ethan was asked to play for several traveling high-school lacrosse teams, Matt Keyser said.
"He's 6-foot-one, 210 pounds, and every coach he has ever played said they wished Ethan could play during the regular season," Keyser said.
Ethan is now looking to apply for college. "It would've looked good on my college transcripts to have that I played several high school sports," he said.
When the House voted on HB 1442 on Jan. 31, Republicans generally supported the legislation and Democrats mostly opposed it.
Del. David Toscano, D-Charlottesville, and Del. Jennifer McClellan, D-Richmond, for instance, both voted against bill.
"The public school system is not an a la carte menu that you can pick and choose what you want to participate in," McClellan said. She said the "Tebow bill" raises a "matter of fairness."
Toscano agreed.
"One worry is that you would have a situation where a youngster in a public school was denied to participate because a home-schooler took their spot," he said.
After passing the House, HB 1442 was referred to the Senate Committee on Education and Health. The committee's next meeting is at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 14 in Senate Room B in the General Assembly Building. If the committee approves the bill, it will go to the full Senate for a vote.
An identical measure, Senate Bill 812, had been filed in the Senate in December by Sen. Thomas Garrett, R-Hadensville. But Garrett withdrew his proposal on Jan. 31.

We went to dinner over the holidays at the house of some friends we hadn't seen in a very long time. I came to the jarring re-realization that my children are no longer little and sweet. They are big and teen-y and have an adolescent edge to their humor.
For years I yearned to offer God the gift of a beautiful family, but what I have at the moment is kids with sarcasm and acne. That's OK. Life got simpler (and I became a better mother) when I stopped worrying about how my kids would turn out and focused more on what I was putting in. It's the input that's within my control, after all. It's up to me to be patient, thoughtful, faithful and responsible, and to set boundaries and a good example. It's up to them to decide what to do with that.
I don't like all of my kids' decisions any more than God likes all of mine. But it's possible to offer feedback and correction without falling in the trap of thinking that their choices somehow reflect how good a mother I am. I'm a good mother based on what I do, not what they do. And I pray God will help me be a good one.

�Kid Cudi is a no show,� a stagehand announced at exactly 1 a.m., the scheduled start time for Kid Cudi�s set. Within moments the houselights brightened and the crowd realized he wasn�t joking. Disillusioned and grumbling, they made a mass exodus toward the exit. The first revelers had just left when none other but Kid Cudi walked in through the venue�s front door in brisk stride, waving the crowd back toward the stage. It was like a scene from a movie; the rapper�s fashionably late entrance couldn�t have been better timed. �Sorry I�m late,� Cudi apologized as he hopped over a bar and onto the stage, his DJ racing to set up his equipment. �I had a Peter Parker Spider Man 2 moment. You know how Spider Man didn�t want to be Spider Man no more? I was feeling that way.� It was an odd explanation for being four minutes tardy if there ever was one. It�s going to be a long, miserable life for the laid-back rapper if he�s already questioning a career in music
