Earrings look better in person. Very accurate description.
I like the earrings and wear them whenever I can. My hair is short so they dangle below my ear lobes. I love the blue color and the textured look is novel and trendy
I was so surprised when I opened the package and saw these earrings. They are beautiful, I liked them so much I had to order another pair in a different color. I have had so many compliments on them and the colors are great and go with most everything, I love jewelry and have a lot of it but I will say these are one of my favorites. They can go from casual to dress and they will look perfect for every occasion.
These are very pretty, unusual earrings that I find myself reaching for on most days to wear and am constantly getting compliments on them. They are a little larger than I expected but that was fine with me. I bought the greenish color which is more of a seafoam color in person, pretty accurate with the photo online. They have tiny clear crystals along the teardrop's edge that make them sparkle and the druzy is very beautiful reminding me of rough seaglass. The sparkle is not too much nor too fancy, they still can be dressed down with jeans and a pair of boots. I am so pleased with my purchase!

I think this new map/game mode is a great approach. I love how LoL is played, how it looks, etc but sometimes I'm really just not in the mood to farm minions and really just want to kill people. Played WoW for roughly 4 months, got tired of it, and the last month of me playing it was using my twink (a low lvl with alot of good gear) and that was really fun. So you can tell i'm a pvp kind of guy, and this new approach riot is taking will satsify my pvp/competitive wants. Reason i reference WoW though is i heard this is comparable to arathi basin but the capture points shoot you haha, and i had a lot of fun playing that I saw this other thread about how LoL is somewhat pve, and i can understand that since i find myself farming or in the jungle a little bit more then i'd like. i've played other moba games and there is definitely a lot more ganking from what i've noticed which i really wish would somehow be incorporated into LoL, but overall LoL is a better game. For me, this beats out magma chamber, really pumped for dominion. what do u guys think?

I sold my 2006 Tacoma double cab (short bed) so I have two items to sell:
1) Front and Rear rugged all terrain floor mats
2) American Tonneau Tri-Fold (WITH metal bed brackets).
Both items are two months old and I am selling for dirt cheap considering what I paid for them. Selling the entire set of mats for $50 and the Tonneau for $75. So, $125 total for everything. Take a look around online, I am giving a great deal for both. Shipping will be tough since the tonneau is so big so local pick-up is ideal (close drive to Columbia, SC)
Rugged Ridge mats are used but in perfect condition only two months old. See link below:
Tonneau is used but only two months old.
Shoot me a message if interested!

Dennis Farina, a former Chicago cop turned actor, died suddenly this morning in Scottsdale, Ariz., from a blood clot in his lung, ABC News has confirmed. He was 69.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of a great actor and a wonderful man. Dennis Farina was always warm-hearted and professional, with a great sense of humor and passion for his profession," his publicist, Lori DeWaal, said in a statement. "He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and colleagues. We hope that he finds a new life where great roles are plentiful and the Cubs are always winning the pennant. We ask that the press refrain from contacting his family at this time so that they can mourn their loss together."
Photo: Stars Who Have Died in 2013
Farina worked as a Chicago police officer for nearly 20 years and got his break in acting while serving as a police consultant to movie director Michael Mann on the 1981 film "Thief." The small role he got in the film launched him on his career, often playing cops and tough guys.
Farina is widely recognized for playing Lt. Mike Torello in the '80s cop series "Crime Story," and Det. Joe Fontana on "Law and Order." Most recently, he starred in the HBO series "Luck" and produced and starred in the independent film, "The Last Rites of Joe May."
The Chicago native, who had memorable roles in "Midnight Run," "Snatch," "Out of Sight," and "Get Shorty," is survived by three sons, six grandchildren and his love of 35 years, Marianne Cahill. In lieu of flowers, his family has asked for donations to The 100 Club of Chicago. Funeral services are pending.

Economics CPD Courses Coming up this Term!- Book Your Places Now!
WOW! Economics 2015 | Quantitative Methods (New Spec)
Using the price mechanism to boost allocative efficiency: car parking charges
The price mechanism should help the economy to allocate resources more efficiently. Scarcity drives up prices, sending a signal to the economy – usually giving firms an incentive to produce more, and households the motivation to ration their consumption.
Offering free parking sounds like a terrific idea, until you think of some of the possible consequences.

The Local Government Association (which represents local councils in the UK) have joined the debate about term time holidays for pupils this week. They argue that current rules banning term time holidays or imposing fines on those families who take such breaks do not recognise the complexities of modern families and also prevent poorer families from affording vacations that are invariably dearer during the holiday period.
It struck me whilst reading one of the reports that the suggested policy is to allow head teachers that most quantifiable of options, 'common sense', to make decisions on a case-by-case basis would be the sort of argument that would make me scream if a student wrote it in an assessment answer. Economics students, unlike Local Government officials, need to take a much more analytic approach to this question!

Have a read of this fascinating article from the Guardian about the fall in prices for mink fur in China. It struck me that, not only does the article give you several traditional causes of a slump in demand (let's all draw the diagram!) but comes up with a brand new cause of a shift that I've not seen before!
The article suggests that the shift in demand is caused by a warmer than expected winter (tick, weather conditions) and that an increase in the number of educated Chinese people are choosing not to use mink for ethical reasons (tick, change in tastes). It also says that demand has dropped as the Chinese government are clamping down on corporate corruption preventing Chinese directors from accepting luxury goods in return for favourable business decisions - which of our Economics Teacher categories does that fit in?
PS. Look out for the fantastic activity 'Demand Street', which challenges students to work out what change in demand factor is being demonstrated, showcased at this year's Wow Economics Teacher CPD event fro Tutor2u.
'Wordsnake' Activity on Elasticity
Here's a fun resource that's trickier then it sounds. 'Wordsnake' is a resource developed by our very own Graham Prior. At first glance it appears to be a wordsearch as you see a grid of what appears to be 100 random letters. However, the key phrase being tested 'snakes' around the grid rather than being up, down or diagonal as in a normal wordsearch.
Students are given a question on screen with the answer hidden in the grid. Who can be the first to spot the answer and call out its location?
If the answer is not obvious at first, the teacher can press the space bar and the letters reveal themselves one at a time. This version contains 5 questions relating to elasticity and demand.

Have you reached that point in the term where you've covered shifting demand and supply curves yet?
Here's a short starter or plenary to test your students knowledge and understanding on the theories of demand and supply. The resource has a single demand and supply diagram with shifted curves and labelled equilibrium points. The test lasts for 3 minutes as a series of changes to the market conditions for Product A are flashed up on the screen. Students need to pay attention, they only have 20 seconds to read the question and work out the new equilibrium point.
All this whilst an Oscar-winning song plays along in the background. Clap along if you know what the song is!

If, like me, you spent much of the spring and summer of this year being 'gently persuaded' to purchase loom bands and their paraphernalia, you may find this short presentation and task on demand and supply of the product useful.
For many weeks, it seemed almost impossible to undertake a shopping trip with my youngest son without him pointing out the huge selection of available bands and their construction tools. He built up quite a selection or different colours and styles as my vacuum cleaner can happily testify. Then I noticed a tailing off of his requests and noted that this week, when I pointed out a shop selling the rubber bands at half price, he declared that he was no longer interested - even at the reduced rate compared to just 4 weeks ago.
He seemed less than impressed when I pointed out how this was a fine example of how demand and supply impacts upon price. However, many of you may be at the stage where you are going through demand, supply and equilibrium with your AS students.

The transport economists amongst you will be giving considerable thought to the question of tackling road traffic congestion. I've picked up on two stories here because they take contrasting approaches. The first is to use technology and regulation to tackle the problem – the so-called command and control approach. The other relies on price signals, so might be described as a market led approach.

Why do we get summer holiday blockbusters? They seem to matter more and more to Hollywood studios. According to one professor "the entertainment industry is moving more towards a winner-take-all-market". Yet it wasn't supposed to be like this. A best-selling 2008 book, The Long Tail, argued that the mainstream was going to be "shattered into a zillion different cultural shards," as fickle consumers "scattered to the winds" using the internet to find the books, films and songs that met their unique taste. So what might be going on?

This means consumers can decide themselves how much they want to pay for a good or service.

I am really grateful to Bob Denham from Econ Films who has shared with us this newly launched video from the International Growth Centre. It focuses on the competitive challenges facing Pakistan's football manufacturing sector as it loses market share to countries such as China and Indonesia. Footballs in Pakistan are still made mainly by hand, stitching together hexagons and pentagons - a process that leads to a lot of waste and higher unit costs and which then affects the profitability of businesses in what is already a low-margin sector.
Could a team of economists find better ways of cutting the patterns for footballs and then align the incentives of workers and owners? This is a fascinating short video which captures many aspects of the Unit 4 development economics course. Enjoy!

If you've looked at labour markets, you'll understand the basic theory: workers seek to supply more labour as wage rates rise, and the returns to work mount up. However, at some point, the marginal utility of extra leisure exceeds the marginal utility of extra income.
In other words, rich people start working less, because they can afford to. And for most of human history rich people had the most leisure, but that might be changing.

One type of market failure that contributes to inequality and unemployment is the geographical immobility of labour.
If the labour market really 'cleared' effectively, wages would equalise across the economy. Workers would drift away from regions with low wages and/or high unemployment towards areas where wages were higher and labour was scarce.
Instead, we see wide disparities in earnings and pockets of regional unemployment - at the same time as skills shortages and wage inflation elsewhere.
Why are people finding it hard to move across the UK in search of work?

interesting, i have a similar "issue" with names starting with Sol-. i think since yours is the last syllable, you can do two names ending in -air without having them sound too similar! i, on the other hand, feel like i have to decide for whichever name starting with Sol- i like best, because once i use it, all the others will be out forever.
Aries comes to mind, although i'm not a fan personally. i love Ariel, not sure if that is the exact same sound though.
i also like Alistair a lot in its various spellings.
September 21st, 2013 08:00 PM #8
I like Aries. A lot lately, actually beginning to love Aries!
Ivair isn't really my taste. I don't mind Ivan. I almost like Ivan now.
There is always Clarence and Claremont. I am undecided on these but almost like Claremont.
There is Blaire, but I never liked this. Just know of those and Alistair which was already mentioned.
September 21st, 2013 08:46 PM #10
I vote Altair... because it's one of the brightest stars in the night sky.
I got excited when I saw someone else wanted to use it as I have been really into astronomy lately and have been trying to figure out which of the stars in the night sky is the most usable name.
There's also Alnair which is similar enough
September 21st, 2013 09:31 PM #12
If they're both middle names, I don't think it's an issue at all really. I think they're both very cool names. I'm with you too. I like way too many AIR names >.<
Here's some Air names I like:
Adair -- even though I think more girls are using it
Alaire -- love that it means joyful
Alistair -- I like way to many Alexander and the like names
Baird -- I love that it means poet
Bairn -- I know it means child but it's neat. I hear the little Scotty dog in Lady and the Tramp "They're expecting a wee bairn" ^_^
Clotaire -- glorious strength
Fairfax -- this is more GP but isn't it neat?
Kairava -- means lotus. It's just cool!
Voltaire -- <3 -- I got Cody to agree to use this one too (and in the first name spot!)

While trends like sustainability, "eco-friendly" labeling and humanization will continue to drive growth in the US and Europe, there are still areas of the globe that remain virutally untapped.
Innovation has become a key business process and is seen as essential for business growth and development. "The aim of the innovation/new product development process is to start with a collection of many ad-hoc ideas and finish with a selection of a few defined ideas to present to the market place," explained John Adams of Adams Developments in his Petfood Forum 2009 presentation on new product development.
PetSmart worked with Edison Nation in 2009 to invite new pet product ideas from pet owners and other consumers. Del Monte developed the product in its Snausages line, Breakfast Bites, using input from a social network of dog owners it formed. "This is focus group R&D in the digital age and Web 2.0 era. Besides providing relatively inexpensive ways to get ideas and feedback from target customers, these new strategies and programs offer speed to market," said Petfood Industry Editor-in-chief, Debbie Phillips-Donaldson in a Petfood-Connection.com online discussion. "Are these just isolated experiments with social media and other new platforms? Just fads? Or are they the wave of the future?"
New product development of pet products can be mapped out in the following steps:
1. Concept idea generation
2. Definition of concept/principle
3. Development, prototype and testing
4. Implementation marketing and launch
In the initial stage of developing a product concept, a very large number of ideas are considered against near and future strategic market needs to decide which are worth exploring further. The most fruitful ideas are often sourced from interaction with customers and encouraging involvement from employees, research has found. (It has been estimated that about 60% of good ideas arise from these areas, according to Adams.) Idea generation requires an open listening culture, with good feedback – an example of why social networking has also become so crucial, allowing in-house research to be replaced by a public forum.
New products entering both the human food and petfood markets are focusing on messages of natural, organic and environmentally friendly in both their ingredients and their labeling.
Projects selected to go into development are decided on the basis of business need, potential market acceptability, risk/reward criteria, and the availability of the required resources (people, facilities and money). Progress to market is dependent on satisfactory feedback on the prototype, an assessment of the competitive response, and deliverable strategies on sourcing, marketing and pricing/margins.
The beginning of 2008 saw owners and shareholders of companies expecting a further year of market and hence company growth. New products entering both the human food and petfood markets were focusing on messages of natural, organic and environmentally friendly. Governments were encouraging companies to develop future new products and technologies that encompassed the philosophy of sustainability of materials and practices that reduced operations that promoted global warming.
But by the end of 2008, many pet-based businesses were changing their immediate strategies from one of targeting growth to one of how to operate in a recession. "In times of low or no business growth opportunity comes by seeking new things that will work, based on new needs," says Adams. "In a recession there will always be opportunities because people will still buy and sell, it is just that they may buy with different requirements." As the past couple years have proven, pet parents still need their petfood, but just need to see the products on the shelves differently.
Sustainable innovationin petfood—which remained a market driver throughout the recession—is not just about new concepts. It is about commercialization of technologies, products and services, and entrepreneurship. It can also be about the adoption of new processes and systems at societal level. "Green" innovation is the creation of novel and competitively priced goods, processes, systems, services and procedures designed to satisfy pet parent's needs and provide a better quality of life for not only their pets, but the environment as well. "Finding solutions to environmental problems through eco-innovation has been, and is likely to remain, the primary focus for sustainable innovation while aiming to achieve social benefits," says Adams.
While trends like sustainability, "eco-friendly" labelling and humanization will continue to drive growth in the US and Europe, there are still areas of the globe that remain virtually untapped.
It is projected that there will be a global population of 8.04 billion for the year 2025 and 9.37 billion for 2050.
The population of the developed countries as a group will have increased by less than 350 million between 1950 and 2050. The developing countries will have an estimated 6.8 billion people more - thus almost quintupling their 1950 population. The countries which will contribute most to world population growth over the next 30 years are India, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Zaire and Iran. Focusing efforts on bringing new products to these developing global markets may be the key to growing and already successful petfood brand or strengthening an already impressive market share.

You may have been wondering what Michele Bachmann has been up to ever since her too-close-for-comfort win over a challenger she outspent by more than twelve-to-one in a district that had just had its most liberal part (namely the city of Stillwater) removed. Then again, you may not have, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

Catholic Bishops Now Oppose Violence Against Women Act |
By: Peterr Saturday March 9, 2013 9:00 am |
Once upon a time, the USCCB produced a pastoral statement on domestic violence that opened with this sentence: "As pastors of the Catholic Church in the United States, we state as clearly and strongly as we can that violence against women, inside or outside the home, is never justified." Among other things, the statement takes on those who would misuse scripture to justify domestic violence, and calls on the church to keep in mind three things: the safety of the victim (and any children in the home), accountability for the perpetrator, and either restoring the relationship or mourning its loss.
Once upon a time, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops supported the Violence Against Women Act. This is not that time. Not any more . . .
Rethinking Immigration: Moms Will Do Whatever it Takes to Protect Their Kids |
By: RH Reality Check Tuesday March 5, 2013 10:50 am |
Congress needs to understand something important as it works to pass a new immigration law: Neither a border nor even the threat of detention can keep a determined parent from trying to reach a child who needs her care.
To ignore this fact, when we have the opportunity to create an immigration system that truly meets the needs of our families and communities, would not only be a lost opportunity for good public policymaking, but also would put countless lives at risk.
The Pileup Behind the Fiscal Slope, and the Consequences of Inaction |
By: David Dayen Friday December 21, 2012 10:23 am |
Say what you will about the 2010 deal to extend the Bush tax cuts, which helped to set up what we're seeing this month. But there was definitely a virtue in getting it done by early December, allowing for a productive lame duck session that repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell, passed the New START arms reduction treaty, and several other measures. Because this entire lame duck has been consumed with fiscal slope negotiations, and really only the tax rate and social insurance part of it, bills that might have had a chance to pass through Congress if the pipeline were unclogged instead remain dormant. And unlike 2010, the bills in question in 2012 are more of the must-pass variety.
Lame Duck Congress Has Lots of Work to Do Even Without Fiscal Slope |
By: David Dayen Sunday November 11, 2012 6:45 am |
Among the many other reasons not to engage in a grand bargain during the lame duck session is that Congress actually needs to get busy with other matters. For a variety of reasons, mainly that they're not good at their job, Congress left a multitude of items on the table for the lame duck, many of which must pass aside from the fiscal slope measures like the Bush tax cuts, the sequester, unemployment insurance, the payroll tax cut and the alternative minimum tax patch. The Hill rounds some of them up.
I put these in the categories of "good" and "must avoid disaster."
Congress to Hightail it Out of Washington With Major Priorities Unfinished |
By: David Dayen Tuesday September 18, 2012 7:36 am |
Congress is in session this week for the final time this year before the election. I sort of shrugged this off as fairly typical for an election year, but it's not. Usually, Congress stays in session until about a month before the election. Here they're leaving with seven weeks to go. The do-nothing Congress has decided to double up on doing nothing.
Democrats Adamant on Senate Version of Violence Against Women Act |
By: David Dayen Tuesday July 31, 2012 4:33 pm |
The renewal of the Violence Against Women Act got caught up earlier this year in a partisan controversy. Republicans objected to provisions that would have expanded the anti-domestic violence protections to tribal land, undocumented immigrants and same-sex couples. Both the House and Senate passed versions of the bill that catered to their respective bases. And there didn't seem to be much hope for a reconciliation of the various differences. Joe Biden and Dems came out strongly today for their expanded version.
Congressional Gridlock Starting to Have Impact |
By: David Dayen Thursday May 31, 2012 4:15 pm |
I've spilled a lot of e-ink about the fiscal cliff, that looming set of expiring measures at the end of the year that will have a serious impact on fiscal policy, spending and taxes going forward. But there are quite a few policies that either expire or are urgently needed well before the end of the year. And election-year politics being what they are, those measures are getting bottled up.
Yesterday's Congressional Embarrassments, Explained |

Administration Threatens Veto for House Version of Violence Against Women Act |
By: David Dayen Wednesday May 16, 2012 1:15 pm |
Today the House votes on reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. A version already passed the Senate with 68 votes, but the House version cancelled several protections Senate Democrats added, to apply domestic violence protections to Native Americans, undocumented immigrants and LGBT families. This has drawn a veto threat from the White House. Here's their statement.

What would Myron say?
Thought maybe it would be interesting for everyone to show their respect for Myron and try to write something as he would. I realize I'm not good at this, but would like to see others.
The Bowl of Bowls is here once again The Second in 3 years, Black and Gold will attend. The opponent will fall with all kind of woes. In Tampa Bay, for the Bowl of the Bowls. The Steelers will bring the Iron Curtain down, They'll bring back six to the Big Steel Town. No Terry, No Franco, No Swann will you see, Just Ben, and Ward and Heath and Willeeee. The defense is real, that's what they all say, And you will believe it Feb first in the Bay. We know they are Black, we know they are Gold, The Birds have all lost, and the Cardinals will fold. Mike came in and continued the quest, six now, six more, the Steelers are best. Now is the time to remember our team, The Black and the Gold will deliver our dream. |

Autism Traits Prove Valuable for Software Testing 180
from the I-got-99-problems-but-a-glitch-aint-one dept.
from the I-got-99-problems-but-a-glitch-aint-one dept.
Back in 2009 we ran a story about a Chicago based non-profit company that trained high-functioning autistic people to be software testers. Two years later Aspiritech has grown to offer services in Belgium, Japan and Israel. Autistic debuggers are used by large clients like Oracle and Microsoft and have proven to be so good in fact that companies are now recruiting to meet demand. From the article: "Aspiritech's board of directors includes social service providers, therapists, a vocational expert and a software engineer. The nonprofit also received start-up advice and consultation from Keita Suzuki, who has co-founded a similar company, called Kaien, in Japan. Aspiritech has hired and trained seven recruits with Asperger's syndrome. These recruits have since worked on software-testing projects for smartphone and cloud-computing applications. Aspiritech now offers functional-, compatibility- and regression-testing, as well as test-case development, with experience in cloud-computing platforms including Salesforce."

Nike SB Paul Rodriguez High – Team Red – White – Black by Patrick Johnson 0 Comments
September 23, 2013 BY Patrick Johnson / 2
The Nike SB P-Rod 7 High has yet to hit retail shelves, but we've seen the success of the original lowtop translated perfectly onto an extended upper for that added ankle support. While we've seen previews of Paul's seventh signature in high-top form in a dark palette, they all feature an interesting Premium zebra print. Now we see the Nike SB Paul Rodriquez 7 High in a recurring Nike SB 'Pink Foil' look that shells out an all black upper with a white lunarlon midsole while accents pink hit the inner lining and sole.

The 2003 Ford Focus Se Comfort is my first car.I bought it used on July 2010 for the sum of $ 3,200 from a dealer.The rust was starting on the bottom but I paint it completely and give it back a fresh brand-new look.The flexible part of the mufler' pipe juste broke.The oil seal broke too. I replaced 2 door locks. The suspension is very smooth, love it!The acceleration is poor but the car itself is maid to economize fuel and I like it. Great body look, unique one !After 78 000Mi in 9 years, the car looks new.The interior is simple but I love it that way.Hard plastic make noise but, the great 4 speakers sound system make me forget them. In overall, a great car but the body is fragile and rust.

2003 Ford Focus SE Comfort 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
My 2003 Ford Focus SE (Automatic) was my first car I ever purchased, little did I know that I should have done my homework before making the commitment. I bought it pre-owned through the Ford Dealership. I should have inspected it at first sight. It had two torn tires, the roof interior was covered completely in ketchup! I let that one go. Over the years, the ignition locked up, had to get that replaced, the engine gasket broke, the transmission went out completely, got that replaced $4,000 later (in March 2011), the sway bar started squeaking, now the having engine problems, the timing belt broke off, and valves need to be replaced (Sept. 2011) Mechanics quoted $2,000 for repairs.

My husband just totaled my 03 Focus. It had 93,000 miles, and i bought it brand new. It was paid off and i have never had any problems with it or put any money into it except for very recently. Just before he wrecked it, i paid $240 to have a new ignition switch put in since the key wouldn't turn. (had to be towed to fugate ford). What to buy now?

2003 Ford Focus SE Comfort 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Fun car with great gas mileage if driven correctly. I average 34 MPG on the highway at 60 MPH. A major flaw of this vehicle has been the rear suspension. It has too much negative rear camber and not enough toe. This causes wear to the inside edges of the rear tires. This is not adjustable and must be accomplished with the use of aftermarket parts. It cost me $350.00 to get this problem fixed. It has stopped eating tires now and has improved the safety of the vehicle. I have 48,000 miles on my latest set of tires now. This vehicle was very dangerous when operated in snow and wet conditions. It always wanted to spin around before I got the rear end problem fixed. Trunk latch, ignition rp

2003 Ford Focus SE Comfort 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Great car for the first 45,000 miles! The tranny went out and was replaced under warranty at 3 years old. A year after the transmission replacement, the brakes went out and had to be completely replaced. About two months after the brakes, the struts went out. Also had to have them replaced. Upgraded stereo went out then, started hearing a terrible front end grinding noise-was told it was the transmission. Called the dealership and they said it was 3 days out of warranty. Took it to a different dealership and was told the motor mounts were also bad. Oh, and the ignition switch locked up. Was gonna just sell it, resale on the car isn't even $1500 but it gets great gas mileage.

2003 Ford Focus SE Comfort 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
This is my second Focus. I did have another 2003 Focus LX base model. That one had transmission problems and this one does not. I purchased it with 130k and now has 143k. I have enjoyed this car, only minor problems with it. It handles great, stops on a dime, very reliable and very roomy. Decent gas mileage..without A/C 28-29 mpg, with A/C..24-25 mpg, and that's with regular oil changes and adding B-12 to the fuel tank. Very few complaints, trunk doesn't want to latch when shut after being opened with the key fob or trunk button, but works correctly with the key.

2003 Ford Focus SE Comfort 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
We bought the car with 65,000 miles and within 5 months had to put in a transmission and a motor mount. Ford helped with the costs but we were still out $2,000 dollars. Then the trunk latch failed. Then we started with the electrical problems. We went though a couple of batteries and then had to disable the alarm which kept going off for no reason. We finally had it working Ok for a couple of weeks and put new tires and another battery in. I guess I should have waited, because then the #3 piston blew, time for a new motor. When we tried to trade it in we were told $100.00. If this car was not such a piece of crap I would turn it into a planter but I would hate to waste good dirt

DOMXPathNamespace () |
interface is returned by DOMXPathResult
interfaces to represent the XPath namespace node type that DOM lacks.
There is no public constructor for this node type. Attempts to place it into a hierarchy or a NamedNodeMap result in a DOMException with the code HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR. This node is read only, so methods or setting of attributes that would mutate the node result in a DOMException
with the code NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR. The core specification describes attributes of the DOMNode
interface that are different for different node types but does not describe XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE, so here is a description of those attributes for this node type. All attributes of DOMNode
not described in this section have a null or false value. ownerDocument matches the ownerDocument of the ownerElement even if the element is later adopted. nodeName is always the string "#namespace". prefix is the prefix of the namespace represented by the node. localName is the same as prefix. nodeType is equal to XPATH_NAMESPACE_NODE. namespaceURI is the namespace URI of the namespace represented by the node. nodeValue is the same as namespaceURI. adoptNode, cloneNode, and importNode fail on this node type by raising a DOMException with the code NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR. Note: In future versions of the XPath specification, the definition of a namespace node may be changed incompatibly, in which case incompatible changes to field values may be required to implement versions beyond XPath 1.0.
DOMXPathNamespace::DOMXPathNamespace | ( | ) | [protected] |
virtual DOMXPathNamespace::~DOMXPathNamespace | ( | ) | [virtual] |
virtual DOMElement* DOMXPathNamespace::getOwnerElement | ( | ) | const [pure virtual] |
The DOMElement
on which the namespace was in scope when it was requested.
This does not change on a returned namespace node even if the document changes such that the namespace goes out of scope on that element and this node is no longer found there by XPath.

10 year-old continues her mission to save pets
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — A 10-year old girl continues her misssion to save pets in need to benefit the Animal Rescue League.
In 2011 Eleanor Ann Schoenbrun (then age 8) started Pennies Fur Pets as part of the nationwide Make a Difference Day Project.
Her fundraising efforts resulted in a donation of over $17,800 in just three years to the El Paso Animal Rescue League.
On Make a Difference Day, October 26, 2013 Eleanor and Pennies Fur Pets will host a six-hour fundraising drive that will again benefit the Animal Rescue League from 8:00am to 2:00pm at two El Paso Starbucks locations (6015-A N. Mesa St. at Sunland Park Drive - MAIN VENUE)
Eleanor simply asks, "that El Paso animal lovers stop by and donate whatever they can even if it is just pocket-change, because every penny is a step towards saving an animal's life."
Hoping to inspire other children to volunteer in our community, Pennies Fur Pets has rallied several groups to help raise fund this year including Golden Key Honor Society at UTEP and students from Loretto and Coronado High School.
Pennies Fur Pets is dedicated to fundraising and collecting supplies to help care for animals that are homeless and cannot help themselves. Founder, ten-year-old Eleanor Ann Schoenbrun believes that "Every furry friend deserves a FURever home."

FRESNO, California
An 8-year-old girl who was abducted by a stranger while playing outside a California home escaped from her captor Tuesday morning after a driver recognized the suspect's vehicle and cut it off, police said.
The child was found in Fresno about 11 hours after she disappeared around 8:30 p.m. local time Monday, triggering a statewide alert. Police arrested Gregorio Gonzalez, 24, who they said was a member of the Bulldogs street gang.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said the driver recognized the red pickup truck from media reports that showed surveillance video of the kidnapper's vehicle.
When the driver saw a girl's head in the window, he cut the truck off and forced it to stop, Dyer said. The suspect pushed the girl out of the car, and she ran to safety, he said.
The girl was taken to a hospital in good condition, but Dyer later confirmed she had been sexually assaulted. The police chief described her as "frightened, traumatized."
Authorities released the victim's name when issuing the alert, but The Associated Press does not identify victims of sexual assault without their consent.
"I was at the same time happy and grateful that my daughter had been brought home," the girl's mother told a news conference. "During the night, the hours seemed very long."
Police said quick action by Fresno resident Victor Perez helped the girl escape.
Perez told KFSN-TV he saw the truck's description on TV, then spotted it parked in front of another house. Perez jumped in his car and started following when he saw the truck pull away.

East3 Roofing is dedicated to providing superior materials, workmanship and service to all of our customers. We believe our customers are the most important part of our business now and in the future.
- Adam McCorrison Principle East3 Roofing
Calgary Roofing
Proper Roofing Procedures
With all the hail damaged roof repairs and replacements that will take place in and around Calgary over the coming months, it's important to be in the know when dealing with Calgary and Airdrie roofing contractors. East3 Roofing can provide you with a free estimate for any hail damaged roof or exterior siding in and around Calgary and surrounding areas.
When selecting a roofing contractor in Calgary, its highly recommended you discuss the details with the roofing contractor about getting all the proper elements of a properly installed roof system. Some roofing companies may cut corners and just replace the shingles to save themselves money and work.
- A metal drip edge is required along the bottom edge of your roof. This edging is required make sure the water that drips off your roof gets into the trough and doesn't damage your roofing underlayment as well as other roof construction materials such as plywood.
- Then you should have an extra thick underlay for the first 3-4 feet of the roof, to make sure the snow and ice that build up in the winter along the edge do not penetrate to the plywood.
- The whole rest of the roof deck should be covered in underlay, at this point your roof is already waterproof. Making sure if anything happens and the shingles fail, the roof, and your house, will still be protected.
- Starter shingles should be applied to the WHOLE perimeter of the roof. Starter shingles provide extra adhesion to the first row and the Gables, where the wind will affect the roof the most.
- Then the roof should be shingled properly, with 4-5 nails per shingle, Nails spaced evenly apart and ON the nail line. Not above. And definitely not below. 5-6 Nails are required in high wind application (East3 roofing only shingles with the 6 nail method) Making sure the nails are installed on the nail line overlap will mean the difference between your shingles blowing off in a wind storm, or staying on the roof. Which would YOU prefer?
- The top of the roof should have air vents installed to extract the hot air from your attic. Many a roof has failed before its time due to lack of sufficient ventilation.
- Finally, The roof should be capped and with ridge capping. The strongest available is the high profile cap. It also provides a beautiful Three-Dimensional look to your roof.
East3 Roofing has the proper equipment and knowledgeand experience to ensure your roofing system is properly installed the first time. Use our Contact Us page to get a quote on your shingle roofing system. We want to be your roofing contractor!
Vinyl & Hardie Siding
With the recent sever hail storms in Calgary and Airdrie Alberta, it's important to take steps to repair or replace damaged siding. Be sure to call us for a free quote on Hail damaged siding in and around Calgary and Airdrie.
Siding leaks appear in many shapes and forms. Water stained interiors are quite often the first indication to homeowners that they may have problems with a siding leak. As mentioned in our other articles ruling out ice dams is one of the first things you should do if you believe you have a siding leak. Many times roofing leaks can mimic siding leaks so we recommend keeping this in mind as you search for the cause of your leak. There are a variety of siding materials such as cedar, vinyl and cement board and each has it's own most likely cause of leaks. Take for instance cedar clapboard siding. As this natural wood ages it can warp, split and have knots that may come loose and even fall out over time. When looking for a leak with cedar clapboard siding you will want to first do a thorough inspection of the siding in the area of the leak. Look for obvious problems like loose or missing knots and dried out caulk. You will then want to look under the laps of each piece of siding where the pieces lap over each other. Sometimes a small split will develop which can only be seen upon close inspection. Check around the leak area and make sure all the wood corners and joints around windows and doors are sealed with a very good quality sealant. Once water is able to work it's way behind the siding it can then end up in your finished living area. Many times with siding all that is required to fix a leak is a little high quality sealant. Vinyl siding is a little different than wood siding when it comes to leaks. Wood siding is nailed tight and caulked tight at joints and end points. Vinyl siding is nailed loose and is captured at end points by receiving channels that allow for expansion and contraction of the siding. These receiving channels have flanges behind them to help direct water that may enter. As in wood siding a thorough inspection of the leak area is recommended. Pay special attention around windows and doors tops as these can provide entry points for water. Make sure all caulking is in good shape and replace any old caulking as needed with a very good high quality sealant.
Shingle Layovers
Installing a second layer of shingles over an existing layer of shingles may seem like a way to save money but we believe this method of re-roofing can have some unexpected pitfalls. Layovers as they are called in the industry involve nesting the new shingles up against the old existing roofing on your home. Since the new shingles are installed directly over the old roofing you do not receive many items associated with a complete re-roofing job involving removal of the old worn out roofing. Removal of old worn out roofing allows your roofing contractor to do a top side inspection of your roofs sheathing. This inspection will look for deterioration such as rot, insect infestation, mold, mildew and structural damage to the sheathing. Removing the old roofing will also allow your contractor to install snow and ice shield on all eaves and in all valleys under your new roofing. Since snow and ice shield is applied directly to your roofs bare sheathing this is something that can't be installed on a layover where you don't remove the old roofing. Many times old flashing located under the original layer of shingles can not be inspected or replaced during a lay over roofing job. Look at your roof does it have more than one roof plane? Are parts of these roofs surrounded by siding for instance a garage roof that ties into your main house with siding on the wall above the garage roof? If so and you elect to do a layover here are a few points you may not be aware of. When your home was built, your builder installed the siding after the roof was installed. This allowed the siding contractor to cover the roof flashing on the roof with siding material to make a water tight seal. Herein lies the problem. Many times during a layover where the new roofing meets an area of siding such as described above your roofer can not install new roof flashing. In addition they can not reuse the existing flashing since the original flashing is woven between the original layer of shingles and behind the siding. This leaves your roofer two options either seal the existing flashing or try and pry the siding loose enough to force new flashing behind it. Both of these in our opinion are unacceptable. Sealing the existing wall flashing most often can be translated as caulk existing wall flashing. Not only does this rely on caulking for your flashing system it can look unacceptable. The second option of trying to pry open the siding enough to slip new flashing in also can create problems. This can leave you looking forward to a future siding repair when the siding comes loose where it was pried open. With vinyl siding a vinyl J-channel is actually laying on top of the old roof. Trying to slip new flashing under this j-channel can also lead to problems in the future. We have seen short cut down flashing wedged under this channel in an effort to flash a layover job. The flashing was cut down because of the siding J-channel nails do not allow for a proper installation of step flashing. This method once again in our opinion is unacceptable. Flashing is designed to be certain lengths and widths to prevent water from jumping or running over the flashing during heavy storms. Cutting down this flashing may lead to future problems and water leaks. One final note on layovers. Your finished layover roof appearance has a lot to do with the condition of your old roofing. Over time your old roof can start to telegraph through to the new roof as it lays down over time. These are just some of the reasons East3 will not compromise and install any layover roofing over old worn out shingles regardless if your county and state code allow it. East3 Roofing, our quality name is on every roof we do and that says a lot.

Just awesome! These are just awesome. Super lightweight! Feels like I have a pair of those stupid boat shoes on, as far as weight goes. They lace up high, and keep your foot and ankle secure and braced well. They also grip very well, but do not have a rigid sole. I have taken these out countless times snowshoeing, hiking, working, you name it. I had these on while summitting, with windchill it was -35 degrees F, but my feet were dry and warm. They are not super insulated, but are lined with a reflective… Full review
North Plains Waterproof
Made in Oregon for Oregon-like weather. As a son of Oregon, I know a little. Something about living an outdoor life even when the weather gets grim. I also dress for the outdoors even when I'm going to and from the office and for lunchtime hikes. These shoes are perfect! I found them in the Walnut Creek Sports Basement, my favorite toy store. The shoe runs true to size, has a nice size toe box and fantastic grip in all conditions. JW says check it out! Full review

I bought this shirt two years ago and I wear it constantly in the fall and winter. It can be a mid-layer or work as a jacket. It has a fleece(like) lining which is extremely comfortable. Plus you can't beat flannel. See the summary above. I just think it's really comfortable and it gets the job done (keeping me warm). Full review
