Peace Corps Rally This Afternoon
Peter (Of Peter, Paul & Mary) Gives His Support For MorePeaceCorps
[Thanks to great Peace Corps Veteran Geri Critchley, and thanks to Peter Yarrow, we have Peter's recent letter to Rep. Nita Lowey in support of MorePeace Corps.]
Dearest Rep. Nita Lowey,
This is a personal message to you from your buddy, your long time  supporter and your friend, Puff's "real" daddy.
In the vote coming up  next week on Peace Corps funding, we have a SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT  opportunity to send a message to our nation, and nations beyond, that could greatly help  to rejuvenate the spirit of humanity, morality and generosity in America, so  absent from our policies, our funding and our actions, during the Bush years.
We cannot lose this special opportunity,  and I'm relying on you, as one of my favorite and most respected members of  the House, to "hang in there" for doing the right thing, as you have in the  past.
Though I fully expect that you'll be voting for doubling the funding for the Peace Corps when the vote comes up next week, if you are having any doubts, let me tell you why, in my opinion, this particular vote is both crucial and precedential. Â
I believe that, perhaps more than anything else we do as a nation, the  Peace Corps, as a person-to-person expression of America's decency and basic humanity, sends our most powerful message to its citizenry and to other countries around the world.
Whatever programs that lose their priority due to  the current fiscal downturn/crisis, the Peace Corps and related service programs, as well as the education of our children and the providing of crucial services for our special needs population must, simply must, be prioritized and fully funded.
We need to celebrate and support the  Peace Corps to demonstrate to ourselves and others that we are, once  again, without question, a caring nation with decent, caring priorities and  policies. We need to win this vote to heal our hearts, so injured and so wearied during the Bush years when we saw respect for our country eroding  terribly, internally and world-wide.  We need this vote for doubling the  Peace Corps funding in order to demonstrate that our legislature is are  willing to walk-the-walk and stand up for what's right, for hope, and for a  return to the spirit of our nation as articulated in the brilliance of the Peace Corps founders Sarge Shriver, President John F. Kennedy, Senator Harris Wofford, and others.
My prediction:
If we win this  vote, we will establish a crucial precedent for our nation to "do the right  thing".
Please, if you have any doubt, prioritize this vote to fully double the funding for the Peace Corps next week, knowing that victory on this one vote will affect all forthcoming votes on where the heart of America now  stands. The bell tolls for you, me, for us all.
Lose this vote, and we will show ourselves, our elected leaders, to be less than courageous, less that doggedly moral, and we will thereby lose precious  momentum for restoring equity, humanity and social justice to our land. Â
Please be courageous. We, so many of us, are with you.
With greatest  respect and huge thanks to you for your moral leadership now, in the past, and  in the bright, though challenging future, we  face.
On The Eve Of The Great Peace Corps Rally
This Friday morning, this morning before the big RPCV rally in Washington, D.C. at 2 p.m. in Freedom Plaza (14th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW) to support "Obama's Peace Corps Vision" the question– which we have never answered–remains: What Has The Peace Corps Done For America?
In 2011, the Peace Corps will be fifty years old. This agency is generally seen as the shining achievement of Kennedy's brief presidency. But what is the legacy of those Volunteers? What lessons can America, and the rest of the world, learn from Volunteers who have served overseas over the past five decades?
In the first days of creating the Peace Corps, John F. Kennedy remarked to Harris Wofford that he saw the real benefit of the agency to be in how these former Volunteers would vote on foreign affair issues once they returned home. Kennedy envisioned hundreds of thousands of Returned Peace Corps Volunteers contributing to American society, not only in how they voted, but how they lived their lives.
Sargant Shriver always believed RPCVs would have their greatest contribution in the way they raised their children. It would be the children of RPCVs who would change the world because of how intelligently they were raised.
Since the summer of 1961, perhaps  210,000 Americans (more or less) have been Peace Corps Volunteers. Now, at the agency approaches Senior Citizenship, it is time to make an assessment of an agency that many (but not all) Americans think is the best foreign aid venture America has ever done. From these Volunteers, and from their experiences, there is much that Americans can learn about the world.
But how has two years in the developing world changed America? How has it changed the way Americans view other countries? Has the Peace Corps provided a new vision for our neighbor down the street?
My guess is not very much.
The way Americans joined the Bush Administration's war in Iraq shows that RPCVs–and what they learned overseas–did not have much influence with that neighbor down the street. RPCVs have not been a political or social power in the United States.
Back in the 1960s I believed in time most congressmen and women, and most Senators, would be RPCVs. I was wrong. (Of course, it is painfully true that those people serving in Congress aren't army vets either. They are simply politicians! Hey, it's a job.)
The fact is that most Peace Corps Volunteers serve overseas and then come home and put away the experience, all those photos from the developing world, and only think about the Peace Corps when they tell their kids good night stories. "There was the time I was riding through the jungle and a spitting cobra….!"
You can put a lot of children to sleep on Peace Corps stories.
But you can also do more.
When Marian Beil and I started our Peace Corps Writers newsletter back in the late 1980s it was our hope that we would encourage, promote and enlarge the number of stories written by PCVs and RPCVs about the Peace Corps, and that these stories would educate Americans about what it meant to be a PCVs, what it meant to live in cultures vastly different than our own, and what we could learn from other societies.
There are perhaps a 1000 books written about the experience. It is too few, of course, but some of these tales have moved beyond the Peace Corps. They have found a place on the shelf of contemporary American literature.  They have become part of the legacy of letters in our culture. Why, Peace Corps books are being read in local book clubs. Now, that's progress!
For those Americans who still read, whether it is a paperback novel or on a Kindle, we have a lot to say. And Bob Shacochis (Eastern Caribbean 1975-76) perhaps said it best: "We are torchbearers of a vital tradition, that of shedding light in the mythical heart of darkness. We are descendants of Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, George Orwell, Graham Greene, Somerset Maugham, Ernest Hemingway, and scores of other men and women, expatriates and travel writers and wanderers, who have enriched our domestic literature with the spices of Cathay, who have tried to communicate the 'exotic' as a relative, rather than an absolute, quality of humanity."
So, go to the rally tomorrow in D.C. and cheer on the MorePeaceCorps campaign, and then go home and do yourself, and all of us, a favor and write down your tales from your Peace Corps years. Educate someone, even if it is just the neighbor down the street.
In The Loop With Al Kamen On The New Peace Corps Director
RPCV Al Kamen (Dominican Republic 1965-67) of the Washington Post  has been tracking the search for a new Peace Corps Director. Here's what he had to say today in his In The Loop column.
"There's word the administration is looking to name a new Peace Corps director soon. Early chat had been that James Arena-DeRosa, formerly the agency's New England regional director, was a leading contender for the job, but he seems to have faded. The front-runners now, we hear, are Frank Fountain, a senior executive at the Chrysler Group, and Aaron Williams, now a top executive with the Research Training Institute. Fountain was a volunteer in India, Williams in the Dominican Republic."
Don't Let Larry Leamer Down!
Laurence Leamer (Nepal 1965-67) author of Madness Under the Royal Palms: Love and Death Behind the Gates of Palm Beach has put out a call on today's Huffington Post calling all RPCVs to rally at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. (14th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW) on June 13th (Saturday) at 2 p.m., in support of "Obama's Peace Corps Vision."
Joining Larry Leamer and hundreds of other RPCVs will be, Leamer writes, "former Senator Harris Wofford, a lifelong champion of volunteering, speaks from the depths of his great heart. You will be there listening as Tim Shriver, the CEO of Special Olympics International and the son of Peace Corps founder Sargent Shriver, speaks with passion of a world of challenge and diversity. You will be there listening to the incredible list of speakers of all ages and backgrounds who will be presenting their own testimonies. You will be there listening to Cairo Fred, one of DC's hottest bands, as they play as part of the entertainment."
Your moment has come, Larry writes, "You will be there because you believe in an America that reaches out to the rest of the world with peace and promise. You will be there because you listened to President Obama's fervent promise during the campaign to double the size of the Peace Corps, to send Americans out in new lands and in new ways with outreached hands and open hearts. You will be there to tell the President and Congress that it must give the Peace Corps the full appropriation of $450 million so it can become a bold new force in the 21st century. You will be there for the most important rally in Washington in a long time because you must be there."
You! Listen! Don't let Larry down!
Our RPCV In Cairo
We had one of our website reporters in Cairo yesterday to cover the President's talk at the university and we received this report a few hours ago.
It is difficult to start to describe yesterday because so many descriptions come to mind. "Wow" seems to be a good starting place. Then comes "proud" quickly followed by "emotional."
So let's start with "wow." Even though there is some disappointment that Obama didn't provide more concrete policy proposals on the peace process, almost universally Egyptians that I spoke with, saw on TV last night, or read on their blogs gave this speech a big thumbs up. Of course, there was pride of place–Egyptians were excited that Obama chose Cairo as the venue for this speech. After the speech pride gave way to the feeling of a personal connection with the American president. He used verses from the Koran, he spoke about things that mattered to real people, he wasn't afraid to talk about democracy, and he did it with a graceful and rousing prose that just doesnt' exist in Egyptian political life. During the speech students shouted "We love you Obama!" They chanted his name; they cheered on their feet when he entered; they gave him the loudest standing ovation I have heard in Egypt when he left.
I think part of the appeal (maybe a big part) is the Egyptians want their own Obama. They want change. They want to be led by someone who has intellect and humility, two traits of Obama's which have been highly praised after the speech. (A side note: some news commentators didn't know what a teleprompter is and they thought he was speaking extemporaneously…) So while the Egyptians wait for their Obama, they seem happy enough to adopt ours.
On to proud…which is mostly my reaction. As I sat there and listened to an American president talk truthfully, even painstakingly so, and passionately about shaping a relationship with Muslim countries based on mutual interests and mutual respect, I teared up. Really. He didn't lecture. He didn't threaten or swagger. There wasn't a cowboy bone in that body. He wasn't apologizing, either. He very clearly laid out what US interests are and was clear that he will defend them. But here's the difference from the past eight years: he framed our interests in terms of human rights and peace. He was able to communicate in language that his audience not only relates to, like verses from the Koran, but in a way that demonstrates he can see all sides to a problem, that he can see the world from their eyes, too. By doing that, he affirmed the dignity of his audience — and did America very proud.
Ok, so all of that is emotional, but there were even greater emotions among Egyptians that went beyond "wow" and "pride." Maybe some of my more eloquent friends can give me a better word to describe the impact of the whole day, but let me try to describe the sense in the example of one Egyptian contact. My friend always plays her cards close to the chest. I usually consider her to be fair, but not "pro" U.S. Yesterday tears were streaming down her face. When I saw her after the speech and asked her what she thought, she started in. Her view was that never in her life had such a cross section of Egypt been together in one room. Egyptian government officials, opposition leaders, religious leaders, bloggers, journalists, activists, students, Muslim Brotherhood, the Israeli ambassador (he was invited with other regional ambassadors), intellectuals and artists. To her there was suddenly hope. If Obama can bring these people together and speak to each group's different concerns, she thinks he just may be able to do it on a bigger scale and actually achieve peace in the region. She said she had long lost hope for peace but that it was "woken up," as she put it. And that surprised her and overwhelmed her.
So now to the question I know you want to ask: did I meet him? No, I didn't get to shake his hand. Sadly, I was working. I didnt get home until around 10:30, had a scotch on the rocks and fell asleep. It was one long, emotional, proud and, oh, did I say? A wow day!
A Comment on President Obama's Cairo Address
Doug Worthington ( Ethiopia 1963-65) writes: "As I listened to Obama's sensitive and culture-bridging talk in Cairo, I tried to imagine myself as a returned PC volunteer giving a similar speak. I think each of us, having travelled and lived aboard, could have given a similar speech. Obama seemed like a PCV to me. In a sense, he has had the Peace Corps experience. He sees the world from a different perspective than does the average American."
Well said, Doug!
You Can Change History: An Open Letter to Congresswoman Nita Lowey
Well known, and well published RPCV Writer Laurence Leamer ( Nepal (1964-66), has been waging a war of words on The Huffington Post, the Internet Newspaper, for the Peace Corps to double in size. Today, he sent an Open Letter, via the Huffington Post, to New York  Westchester Congresswoman Nita Lowey the person who will finally decide the growth of the Peace Corps next year. Read what Larry has to say, and then volunteer once more and call Nita and tell her that we want dramatic expansion and fundamental reform in the Peace Corps.
Dear Congresswoman Lowey:
On June 18th you will have an opportunity to change the course of history.
You are an astute, principled politician who for years has voted for what is right and true, not what is always popular. Time and again you have seen your judgment vindicated by history. You have stood bravely as champion of an America that reaches out to the rest of the world. You voted for NAFTA when that took courage. You were for an opening to Communist China when many in Congress considered that a betrayal. And now you can create the basis of a bold, new Peace Corps that can play a crucial role in the world in the 21st century.
You and I are of the same generation, Rep. Lowey. We were young when President Kennedy in his inauguration address said: "To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required–not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." And then Kennedy sent out the Peace Corps as his most visible manifestation of that pledge. Cynics thought it would never work, that young Americans were too soft and self-indulgent, but within five years there were 15,000 volunteers and there are 195,000 returned volunteers who have proven the naysayers wrong.
There are only 7,500 volunteers out there now doing good and valuable work, and as an institution the Peace Corps is nothing like the bold force of the Kennedy years. There are 20 countries clamoring for volunteers including Indonesia and Sierra Leone but there is no money for new programs. But with a forceful new director, much needed resources, fundamental reform, and the pent up energy and ideas of thousands, the Peace Corps can engage the world of the 21st century with valor, originality and concern. In doing so we will show that we are a generous people who send out our young and our not so young to teach and to learn about the rest of our world, and that in helping we receive.
The Obama administration's Peace Corps transition document is a blueprint of what must be done and how it can be done. (http://peacecorpsworldwide.org/babbles/2009/05/26/pc-transition-team-report-to-obama/) "The Peace Corps, on the threshold of its 50th Anniversary, can once again inspire a new generation of Americans and play a highly significant role at this critical crossroad in American and world history," the report begins. The document is unstinting in its criticisms of the entrenched bureaucracy and details how it must change. If it is to grow, the Peace Corps must reform, and to reform it must grow. And then the transition report calls for "expanding programs in the 76 counties with current Peace Corps presence and starting Peace Corps programs in at least 25 additional countries." It will take money to do this, and the report calls for an added $90 million immediately "to restore harmful cuts," then $550 million in fiscal year 2010 before rising to "its optimal operating level as a $700 million or more agency."
As the Democratic Chairwoman of the House State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee, you have been given a Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill for $49 billion. In a time of economic austerity and difficulty, for every dime you increase one part of this bill, you have to find a dime to take away elsewhere, and in doing so for every group or entity you make happy, you upset somebody else.
The original bill included $373 million for the Peace Corps in fiscal year 2010, an amount that would essentially allow no expansion of volunteers and no significant reform. Rep. Sam Farr, a returned volunteer, has written a bill cosponsored by an extraordinary 120 of his colleagues calling for $450 million, a major increase but far less than that suggested in the Obama transition report. In the authorization subcommittee, Chairman Howard Berman took the brave step of amending the bill to include the $450 million for the Peace Corps.
Now it's your turn. Members of your committee are already on board, and you'll have strong support. If you appropriate the $450 million, it will highly likely become part of the final bill, and you will have been responsible more than any one person in giving the Peace Corps a new birth.
We are everywhere. Millions of us. Volunteers. Former volunteers. Family. Friends. Concerned Americans. People who have known Volunteers and their work. We are in your district. We are in your state. We are all over America. We are all over the world, from Peru to Mongolia, Fiji to Ghana. We are watching and waiting.
We don't want to tie up your phones. That's why we're asking only your constituents to call 202 225-6506 and express their sentiments. We're asking those whose Congress member is on your committee to call that representative; their names and numbers are listed below. All others we're asking to email email@example.com to express their feelings. We will put together a book of these emails and get them to you and to your colleagues.
If you appropriate the full amount, your decision will be an historic landmark on the pathway to a bold new Peace Corps placing its flag in climes it has never gone, speaking languages it has never spoken, doing work and cooperative endeavors it has never done before. It is in your hands, and I have every confidence that you will do what you have always done.

Peace Corps Transition Team Tells Obama What To Do
President Obama has in his hands the Peace Corps Transition Team document "Peace Corps Roadmap" telling the president what should be done to increase and improve the agency. The twenty-page transition document was written by his own team, sent to the Peace Corps after the election and before the president was sworn in. This impressive piece of work manages to be both positive about the Peace Corps and its role in the world, and yet outlines the problems of the agency and makes suggestions on how the president can improve the Peace Corps so that more Americans are able to serve our country. The Transition Team document is sitting on President Obama's White House desk. It has been (so far) unread by the president. Would you like to read it? Peace Corps Worldwide has the document on line NOW!

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications »
"What is high blood pressure (hypertension)?
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, affects nearly a third of all Americans. With hypertension, too much force is exerted on the arteries as blood is pumped through. This results "...
Read the High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Medications article »
The most common signs expected with overdosage of a beta-blocker are bradycardia, hypotension, congestive heart failure, bronchospasm, and hypoglycemia. To date, a few cases of overdose (maximum: 2000 mg) with bisoprolol fumarate have been reported. Bradycardia and/or hypotension were noted. Sympathomimetic agents were given in some cases, and all patients recovered.
In general, if overdose occurs, Zebeta (bisoprolol fumarate) therapy should be stopped and supportive and symptomatic treatment should be provided. Limited data suggest that bisoprolol fumarate is not dialyzable. Based on the expected pharmacologic actions and recommendations for other beta-blockers, the following general measures should be considered when clinically warranted:
Administer IV atropine. If the response is inadequate, isoproterenol or another agent with positive chronotropic properties may be given cautiously. Under some circumstances, transvenous pacemaker insertion may be necessary.
IV fluids and vasopressors should be administered. Intravenous glucagon may be useful.
Heart Block (second or third degree)
Patients should be carefully monitored and treated with isoproterenol infusion or transvenous cardiac pacemaker insertion, as appropriate.
Congestive Heart Failure
Initiate conventional therapy (ie, digitalis, diuretics, inotropic agents, vasodilating agents).
Administer bronchodilator therapy such as isoproterenol and/or aminophylline.
Administer IV glucose.
Zebeta (bisoprolol fumarate) is contraindicated in patients with cardiogenic shock, overt cardiac failure, second or third degree AV block, and marked sinus bradycardia.

Appreciate it. Been around since launch so I've seen my fair share of drama. I always try to warn other servers about the !@#$ty players and drama-queens that transfer off our small realm (<3 Thunderlord). These children try to play innocent but they became the laughing stock of our server after trolling trade for months then subsequently breaking up overnight. That's what we call karma, friend. |
What loki said is true. I would honestly like to know what I ever did to you guys to get you so angry that you are now trying to troll me on a different server. you didnt really, deal with drama, you got grumpy. and left you cant deal with namecalling on a pvp server in a faction warfare game. you can try and be respectful and reasonable or in your case say you were, when you were not. but its a game, about making war, and you got frustraited and left. sorry if my english isnt perfect, the autocorrect is set for spanish and i forgot to change it. |
I'll punch you in the phallus.
they just wanted to be where stabby is that's why they came to Uldaman , it is a really nice pve horde server and they make good progression.
Ohai Stabby! |
Dont listen to Runestones, they do bite. Hard sometimes.
hey Kykki, feel bad i haven't been over there much been doing a lot on t-lord. but it's where you keep Nakk locked up so i have to come visit more :-)
Heyyyy Guys!!!
We support kitten love!
!@#$ you Danny.
I raided with Vertigo for about 9 months starting around our heroic Valiona progression and ended a day after our heroic madness kill.
We finished Cata progression as 10m ranked 621st world and 131st US. Both Selanda (Zaliz) and Loki are great players and I had a great time raiding with them and the rest of the players, however I do hope some things have changed. Hopefully Loki's attitude (not too sure if he had a drinking problem) has changed and Blackout has success in MoP. Good luck. P.S. Zaize is pro DK tank |

Transmission oil cooler help
Hey my oil cooler on my 2002 dodge ram 1500 5.9 is leaking and needs to be replaced. My question how do u remove the old one
You need the quick disconnect tool for the flare lines. Then just unbolt it. If you need a replacement, I still have my original.
Where would you suggest getting a replacement
Do you want a brand new one or a good used one? I took mine off to replace it with a 1 ton cooler. Do you want it? If not, then your choices are dealer or online factory parts house.
How much for yours
Oh crap, I thought you had a 5.7, you have a 5.9. Does yours look like this:
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/DSC01059.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...d/DSC00852.jpg |

Ah, Jake Arrieta.
If you bring up his name to a lot of Orioles fans, it often does not conjure up good thoughts at all.
Sunday's game was a case exhibit for that opinion.
I saw the self-destruction of Arrieta live and in person at the Yard; however, before the game against the Dodgers, I and several season ticket holders in my respective section pondered how many innings Arrieta would toss.
Furthermore, we all wondered when he would finally implode.
"He's going to last six innings", said one person.
"I say five, plus", harked another.
Although I consider myself an optimistic person, but I quipped, "Four and two-thirds."
For the first three frames on the mound, Arrieta looked as good as ever, and the Baltimore offense was rolling.
With a comfortable cushion at the time, he breezed through a Los Angeles lineup has that been struggling and endured a long losing skid; however, starting in the fourth inning, the implosion happened.

Erica Hartmann is one the 501st Joint Fighter Wing from the Karlsland Forces and the ace pilot. Out of battle she's playful and laid back.
1st Lieutenant Erican Hartmann is an ace Striker Unit fighter pilot from the Karsland Forces. After the invasion of the Neuroi to her homeland, she was tapped to be a member of the 501 Joint Fighter Wing Strike Witches. Carefree and playful on land, in the skies she's an ace with over 300 enemy kills.
Erica Hartmann is one of the lead characters for the Strike Witches series, but is also a reoccurring character in the earlier Strike Witches light-novels and manga. All these series are based on the works of Humikane Shimada. A fanservice series of young witches in an alternate world history of Earth in the pre-WWII history. She is a soldier from the land of Karsland (real world Germany). As a young with with magical powers, she can pilot a specialized weapon called a Striker Unit, a specialized version of a broom used for combat. She is a petite, blond with her hair in a "bob" style. She's an ace pilot in combat, but on land she's lazy and cares little for medals and commendations. Unlike most of the other character in Strike Witches, she doesn't grow animal ears when she transforms, but the tips of her hair become black.
Her first appearance was in the second Strike Witches light-novel "Strike Witches: Otome no Kami". The first anime appearance is in the Strike Witches OVA. Her character in the Japanese series is voiced by Sakura Nogawa throughout the seasons, and the U.S. dub produced by FUNimation is done by Luci Christian. There have been two seasons of the anime and one anime movie.
Erica Hartmann was based upon the real life WWII pilot of the German Forces named Erich Alfred "Bubi" Hartmann (1922-1993). He was called "Bubi" by his fellow pilots, and the Soviet Army referred to him as "The Black Devil". Her Laftwaffe JG 52 Striker Units are adorned with a Black Tulip decal that could also be seen on the aircraft of her namesake. She has a twin sister named Ursula Hartmann.
Throughout the two seasons of the Strike Witches anime, Erica Hartmann didn't have much change in character development, and no deep tragedy was every told from her past, unlike with her two other Karsland kinsmen. Erica is undisciplined and at times mischievous. She does express a respect for her commanding officer Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke, due to Minna's desire to lead missions and protect lives. Erica's carefree and slovenly personality is in stark contrast to her partner and friend, Gertrud Barkhorn. The two served together when the Neuroi invaded and took over Karsland. On her time off, Erica will often stay in her room in a night shirt and panties.
Age: 16 (1944)
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Nationality: Karsland (Germany)
Strike Unit: Luftwaffe JG 52
Animal Form: Dachsund Erica has an identical twin sister named Ursula. The only way to separate the two is that Ursula wears glasses and it much more polite and proper in her behavior. She is in New Karsland developing new technologies for the Strike Witches against the Neuroi. In the second season, Erica's lighthearted personality was put to it's limits by fellow witch and Karslnad native, Hanna-Justina Marseille. Erica constantly refused to humor Hanna's drive for competition, but accepted the challenge after she was constantly disrespecting Barkhorn. Erica actually started to clean her room after this duel, but gave up after a few minutes.
Erica has a powerful magical attach called "Sturm". She performs a high-speed loop that creates an electrically charged typhoon that is highly effective when surrounded by a large number of enemies.

So when i sell my mk2 there will poss be about 4 days maybe 5 from the point I sell my car and actually pick up the new one Ive never had it when there has been a gap between selling the car and picking the new one up normally on the same day so I just ring up and swap it over now I still have 2 months left on my current policy and will finally have 1ncd again at renewal! now what I dont want to have to do is canx the pol due to not getting the car for 4 days from point of sale where do I stand? Should I leave the old car insured and swap it over on the day I pick up or just ring up and swap the ins over on the day I sell the car even though I technically dont have it? Although the deal would be done at the garage etc
Swap it over when you purchase new car. I had few times insurance for cars/bikes for more than 2 weeks and didnt own the vehicle anymore. You could cancel and take new policy after 4 days with same/different insurer but you wont gain 1ncb as result so not worth it.
cool so from the point i agree to buy the car , deposit down finance agreed which would be on the same day i sell my old car

You are stuck in a busy, noisy, unfamiliar building. You are unsure of where you are or even what time of year it is. All the corridors look the same. You find it hard to judge how far away the floor is. You can't remember where the toilets are. You can't remember why you're here. You feel a rising sense of panic as you search for clues to where you are, and even who you are.
Despite repeated calls from numerous medical experts and various health intellectuals hospitals across the UK continue to serve junk foods to sick people. As recently as last year Doctors themselves meeting at the BMA made the strongest recommendation that all hospitals should stop this practice completely because it was exacerbating almost every medical problem they faced.
It is completely OUT OF ORDER that our hospitals, a place that should be a champion of health and well being, a place that should be the first to educate the masses and promote healthy eating and conscious living, are encouraging the consumption of the very things that cause a large number of the diseases they are treating in the first place.
Life has disappeared from Malakal, a key town in oil-rich Upper Nile state, South Sudan. The clashes between government and opposition forces have turned Malakal, a square grid bordering the river Nile, into a ghost town. But some people didn't manage to escape - they were forced to witness the horror.
Dear American Citizen, I write from the other side of the Atlantic. Our homelands are separated by a vast, malevolent body of water. Thousands of miles stand between us, yet still we share so many things, music, theatre, fashion, culture, history, high street stores and banking ties, and much more. Our military train together, and politicians lean on each other. We really aren't that different.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Taylor Kelly, D.J. Foster and Jaelen Strong named best offensive 'triplet' in the Pac-12
When three great players converge on one football team, the outcome can be special. For example Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Roger Craig and the San Francisco 49ers dominated the NFL in the 1980s. Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith did the same with the Cowboys as "America's Team" in the 1990s.
It also helps to have a triple threat at the college level.
NFL.com writers Mike Huguenin, Bryan Fischer and Chase Goodbread have tried to identify the best offensive "triplets" in college football in 2014. They say the Arizona State trio of quarterback Taylor Kelly, running back D.J. Foster and wide receiver Jaelen Strong is the best in the Pac-12.
Kelly flies under the radar compared to some of his peers, but was as productive as any last season leading the offense, while Foster is a multi-purpose star no matter where he lines up at. Strong might be the best receiver west of the Mississippi and will be drawing plenty of attention from scouts in case he leaves school a season early.
Kelly also ranks in the top five on seven single season ASU record lists. Foster was second on the team in all-purpose yardage last season with 1,170 yards, while the JUCO transfer Strong was Kelly's favorite target hauling in 75 receptions for 1,122 yards and seven touchdowns.
The Sun Devils lost many starters on defense, which means ASU will need to count on the offensive side of the ball for even more production. If the Sun Devils can lean on Kelly, Foster and Strong again, it will be easier for the maroon and gold to potentially replicate their success from last season in 2014.

Minnesota Approves Behavioral Program Savings
A recent impact evaluation conducted by Illume Advising for the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Division of Energy Resources determined that the Accelerated Innovations MyMeter energy engagement program demonstrated significant energy savings resulting from behavioral changes made by residential utility customers as a result of their interaction with MyMeter in Minnesota.
The evaluation quantified the impact of MyMeter on participant energy usage across four Minnesota utility companies. These verified findings allow the participating utilities to claim behaviorally induced energy savings in program year 2013 per application of the average savings method used in the evaluation.
Average annual savings for residential customers ranged from 1.8 percent to 2.8 percent for customers opting-in to MyMeter. Savings persisted at a steady level during the first two years of participation and were higher for participants with higher baseline usage. The evaluation also found that participants engaging with the energy use feedback portal for more than six months achieved nearly double the savings.
This engagement provides the customer insight into and a better understanding of how they are consuming energy, how much they are using and how to control and reduce their energy use.
