From the Publisher:
"These dogs know—they absolutely know—that they're being rescued. When they're pulled from a shelter and put on a plane, their whole attitude changes. It's like they sense that everything is going to be okay." --volunteer rescue pilot, Sam Taylor As a decorated helicopter pilot, Sam Taylor flew Search and Rescue missions during the Vietnam War. Today, his rescue work is closer to home—and extremely close to his heart. Taylor is one of roughly 2,000 private pilots who volunteer their time and their planes to fly abused, neglected, and homeless dogs from "high-kill" animal shelters to new "forever" homes across the country. Dog Is My Copilot tells the story of Pilots N Paws, a high-flying animal rescue operation founded "accidentally" in 2008 when a private pilot offered to fly a mission of mercy to save an abused dog for a friend. Once on the ground, the pilot asked his friend if there was a big need to transport shelter animals from one part of the country to another. She responded, "You have no idea." Since that time Pilots N Paws has grown to include thousands of pilots who have transported tens of thousand of "death-row dogs" (and a fair amount of cats and other animals), sometimes more than 1,000 miles away to new homes or no-kill shelters where they have a much higher chance of adoption "People ask, 'Why would you spend $500 of your hard-earned money to fly a single dog?' My answer: 'It means a lot to that particular dog, and it's not just about the animals—it's about all the people who are also affected by his/her transport.'" --Pilots N Paws pilot, Brett Grooms The true heart of Dog Is My Copilot are the 24 real-life rescue stories collected from pilots and their animal rescue counterparts on the ground. The short, captivating stories are accompanied by over 100 charming, poignant, color photos—most taken by the pilots themselves—of their canine passengers in flight. Unexpected things can happen when dogs reach cruising altitude, and the stories in Dog Is My Copilot run the emotional range from hilarious to heart-rending—but the endings are always happy. These dogs are the lucky ones, and most of the pilots will tell you that when they get on the plane, they know it. After all, waiting for them on the ground hundreds of miles away is a second-chance at a happy life with a loving forever family. Dog Is My Copilot—it's Chicken Soup for the Soul meets Marley and Me…with just a dash of The Right Stuff. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Pilots N Paws organization. |

Birthday Hammam experience , dinner with Mel and her folks in Marrakech, reuniting with Kate and Robbie, to adventures through the Sahara desert.
After a long yet hassle free travel day from Cairo to Fes (via 1
class train, thank you Marie) I arrived at the Bouland Boush (Blue gate) of the Medina to be met by my Riad host Karim. Karim had previously emailed me to inform me which cab to take when I got to Fes, as there are some pretty dodgy people about. I made it to Karim safe and sound eventually, after trying out a few taxi services. Later Karim told me, that the original taxi driver I called, was going to take me to another Riad, but because he knew Karim decided ( lucky for me), not to do that. So, that was a great start to the Moroccan experience for me, as I was already a little on edge, due to a somewhat dodgy experience with a Moroccan in Italy 10 years prior. I reached the Riad after battling my way for 500m through the hectic Sunday night, school holidays, busy Medina, arriving at the lovely ornate and beautifully decorated Riad. I crashed into bed happy to have arrived safely, after learning that three people had been killed in Cairo that day.
The next day I woke up to the most extravagant birthday breakfast for one. A few viber and skype calls from home, I really enjoyed a relaxing morning chilling out, reading my book in the sunshine. Later that afternoon I had decided to go to the Hammam, to have a nice relaxing scrub and massage. However, Karim persuaded me to go to the local Hammam which his daughter goes to, as it was a lot cheaper. Wanting an authentic experience I went along. And boy did I get an authentic experience! I was greeted by three women who didn't speak a word of English, gesturing me to strip off, which I did, down to my undies. I then entered a hot tiled room with about half a dozen girls and women, who were doing their thing, until I walked in, where they were then, began gawking at me, the only whitey in the hammam. The old lady who was attending to me, was every bit of 60 years old and like me, she was stripped down to her undies, and gravity was not really on her side. I had to hold back a laugh when I looked up to see that her undies were in fact 'spiderman' undies, absolutely hilarious. Seated and surrounded by eight buckets filled with water of varied temperatures, she lathered me up with an exfoliate scrub , wacked on her sand paper mitt and proceeded to exfoliate three layers of skin off my entire body, face not excluded. At one stage, my head was in her lap as she scrubbed down my arm and boob, and another time my foot was rested in her crotch, as she stood and scrubbed down my leg and into my groin. After she washed me down, she then proceeded to wash my hair which was lovely, until she tried to brush it before conditioning, therefore losing about one third of my hair as well. Finally she finished off with a short and not so sweet, bendy massage. To say the experience was tranquil, would be veering from the truth just a little, to say that I will never forget my 29
birthday hammam experience, would be very accurate.
That night I shouted myself to a huge dinner including a massive mezze Moroccan salad, a shoulder of lamb (not as good as yours paps) and a fruit salad to finish off. Unfortunately I couldn't even finish half of the meal, but did manage to finish my half bottle of red.
The next day saw a private walking tour of the Medina with my tour guide Rashid. Rashid figured out that I was a physio and spent the rest of the day telling me about his inner ear and vertigo problems that he had been suffering with for the past 2.5 years. If he hadn't harped on about it so much and if I wasn't off duty, I would have helped him out. I tried to give him a few tips, but was more keen to find out a little bit about Fes. Fes is the oldest of the imperial cities and arguably the symbolic heart of Morocco. Within the walls of the old city, is the medina (Fes el Bali) with more than 9 400 streets and dimly lit alleyways winding endlessly up and down, housing over about 200 000 residents and all the music, smells and noises that come with that. I learnt that there is a saying, that everything starts and ends in Fes, with the belief that Fes is the centre of decorative arts, world famous for its leather and metal work and the skill of its master craftsmen. The experience of meandering through the medina was fantastic, as your senses were definitely on overdrive. There was the fresh produce area, meats (camels heads hanging), seafood, fruits, vegies, sweet pastries, olives and big mountains of lard. We then we walked to the metals area, where you saw them making the silver and copper plates, teapots etc. The designs that they were chiselling were incredible, as it was all free hand and not following a pattern, very talented men. From here we wandered through to the carpet and textile sections, which were exquisitely vibrant and colourful. Finally we finished off with going to the tannery. It was quite a smelly, but interesting experience. It was interesting to learn about the process and time frames of making the leather and then the colouring of the leather. With fresh mint leaves up my nostrils, it was bearable to watch the process for a little while, but I can only imagine the stench in the middle of summer in 45 degree heat!
That afternoon, I met a lovely couple from Redcliff in their late 60's, Graham and Susan. Susan was originally from Grafton and was a teacher. Although not knowing mum and dad specifically, she knew plenty of other people that both mum and dad know. Once again, showing how much of a small world it is. They invited me for dinner and we enjoyed one of the nicest Moroccan dishes I have had to date, for one tenth of the price of my dinner the night before.
The next day I decided to stay an extra day in Fes and do a day trip out to Meknes, Volubilis. Unfortunately I struck out and paid $80 for a driver with limited English, rather than a tour guide. Nevertheless, I scored a local guide with a very thick Arabic/French accent and with a good sense of humour who took me on a tour of the ancient city of Volubilis. I could only pick up every third or fourth word of what he was saying. In one section, after he repeated himself about 5 times, I was thinking he was saying, 'this section coming up is a dog house, would I be ok to go in there?' I finally realised he was trying to ask, if I was ok, as we were about to enter the old brothel. He found it quite amusing to make me mount the penis statue, (he must have known I have a habit of mounting or grabbing statues inappropriately).
Meknes was also lovely, a slightly smaller and different walled city with a medina similar to Fes. I saw a beautiful mosque….. The scenery in general was most unexpected, so lush and with huge amounts of agriculture. I really didn't expect it to be that green in Morocco.
That night I enjoyed another dinner with Graham and Susan, whilst the local football was on. The next morning I had an early start and long day on the train, -- 8 hours to Marrakech.
After getting to my hotel, I showered and headed out to catch up with Mel and her folks, Julie and Ray for dinner. They had all, had a great whirlwind week through Morocco, covering most of the main attractions and cities, telling me about some of the things that I had to look forward to. Mel did warn me that the camel ride did get a little uncomfortable towards the end and she was also telling me about her desert run, as she needed to get another run in for the upcoming London marathon. After battling through the traffic with their driver and with their private tour guide, we arrived at a lovely restaurant. By this time we were starving and so really enjoyed a lovely meal and the first nice bottle of white wine, since leaving Cape Town three months earlier.
I spent the next two days by the pool lapping up the sunshine, attempting minimal life jobs until the arrival of Kate and Robbie.
Seeing Kate and Robbie after being away for so long was great and we had lots to catch up on. Lots of chit chat by the pool side with a G&T, was in order, before meeting up with the new tour group of 17( mostly Aussies and Kiwis, and a few English and Polish travellers). Our tour guide Abdoul looked exactly like a Moroccan version of Robert Downey Junior. He was an absolute crack up. Abduol is Berber, not Arabic and informed us that the Berbers have been around since 5000 BC and make up 70% of the population of Morocco rather than Arabs, which I found quite surprising. Under the Arab rule, the Berbers where driven out, more into the desert. They follow a matriarchal family where the mum is the boss (sounds like the McQueen household) and they are known to have big families of 12-15 kids. The Berber language is close to Latin. The Berbers in this day and age, will intermarry, but previously wouldn't, as they saw themselves as above the Arabs and wanted to keep their blood clean/pure. Abdoul also informed us, that school and university is free in Morocco and the kids learn a minimum of 3 languages. Morocco is a lot more developed than I expected and you can really see the French influence still, with French being spoken everywhere. It is the official language in government.
That night with the new group, we battled the Marrakech traffic and went to a local Moroccan restaurant, enjoying another tagine and the local oranges (best I have ever tasted with a sprinkling of cinnamon) We left the markets for our return to Marrakech.
The next morning whenleaving Marrakech Abdoul informed us that the new fashion in Marrakech is running, all ages, shapes and sizes. And that we saw, lots of them, in either full tracksuits or full dress and burka. Crazy people he says, crazy! We set out towards the Sahara, over the High Atlas Mountains to just outside the town of Ouarzazate and to the Taourirt Kasbhah. The Atlas Mountains have the second highest mountain in Africa, standing at 4167m. The scenery over these mountains some of which were still snow-capped (not typical at this time of year), was incredibly lush and quite picturesque. We stopped at a local market, seeing all the fresh produce and meat. Robbie was first to ask if we could buy some local street meat, which he had been hanging out for. So some of the boys went and bought some very fresh lamb and took it to the local BBQ, where it was cooked up for them with great spices. With some local tea, and a bit of bread, it was devoured by everybody.
Arriving just out of Ouarzazate 200km from Marrakech and on the edge of the Sahara desert ,we found out that this is where, lots of the famous Hollywood movies are made, such as Gladiator, Babel, Prince of Persia, Game of Thrones, and The Mummy Returns. The town itself was actually booked out due to the local desert ultra-marathon being on, which we found out was won by a local Moroccan. So we stayed in the nearby Kasbah. It was crazy to see our first Oases, bright green grass, crops and trees in the middle of bright red desert, such a contrast and hard to get your head around. We arrived at our hotel and went straight up to the Kasbah. The front of it actually featured in Gladiator. We climbed up the Kasbah, with 'Rock the Kasbah ' playing in my head. There were 26 houses in this Kasbah and at the top, it had the most amazing views at sunset with all the different shades of red and ochre in the mountains, landscape and town. We enjoyed a local mint tea in one of the houses in the Kasbah ,where apparently Russell Crowe came to visit for a tea!
The next day saw us driving through Zagora to Mhamid and meeting up with our jeeps to head out further into the Sahara desert. We got to race up and down the desert dunes close to sunset, which was really cool. Unfortunately I managed to get a bit of sand in my lens and have stuffed the lens, but hey, not long to go and the camera itself still works, so it could have been worse. That night we enjoyed another tagine and some of the locals playing their bongos by the camp fire. Sunrise the next morning (which was Robbie's birthday, yep he had to wear the birthday scrunchie too) was unfortunately disappointing, as it was slightly cloudy and incredibly windy. We drove back to Zagora and to a close- by desert camp, where we were met by some locals and 18 camels. Mounting my caramel coloured camel (didn't get around to naming him) we started our 3 hour camel ride through the Sahara. Surprisingly, although it was at least 40 degrees on the ground, with our tea towel heads on and being up on the camel, it wasn't unbearably hot. The first 30 minutes of the camel ride was quite novel, however, the other 2.5 hrs was rather uncomfortable on the old butt and back, regardless of whether you side saddled, sat at the back of the camel, or had your legs up or down. Needless to say, the next day, everyone's back and inner thighs were rather on the sore side as we tackled our 9 hour drive to the coast to a town called Agadir.
We arrived early evening in Agadir, Abdoul's hometown, which had been devastated by an earthquake in 1962. As a result, the whole city practically needed to be rebuilt. We visited an Argan oil shop (only found in Morocco) and decided to have massages the next day. That night we enjoyed some local seafood along the promenade, which was quite lovely. I heard from mum, much to my relief, that my impulsive rug purchases from Fes, arrived at home, one week after being sent. I must admit I was a bit sceptical, about whether they would actually be sent safely as I had been told and thought I would be kissing my money goodbye.
Thursday morning saw us go for a short walk along the promenade. Unfortunately it was really misty and not so hot, so we went off for our 2 hour hammam and full body massage. This time round, it was a much more pleasurable experience, in which I only lost one layer of skin. The massage with the argan oil was amazing. Although that was all we got to see of Agadir, the coast drive along the Atlantic was quite beautiful, as we made our way up to Essaouira.
Just before Essaouira we were treated to the local mountain goats up trees. Quite a bizzare sight. It was so hard to contemplate how a four legged animal with no paws or hands, only hooves, could climb a flimsy tree. Very weird and they were quite uncoordinated as we saw one of them fall out. We also spent 30 minutes on the hunt for some scorpions. We found a few, but not to the size that Abdoul was happy with. Once we left the area, he told us that he has been bitten over 20 times, but that it's ok, as it's never enough venom to kill an adult!
A night and half day in Essaouira was lovely and we wished we had more time here. Known as the windy city, we wandered through the streets in the morning, purchasing a few souvenirs and some fresh fruit in the local souk. We enjoyed a fresh seafood lunch by the seaside, before boarding the bus one last time to return to Marrakech.
To finish off the trip we headed off into the tourist trap of the main square Jemaa l-Fina. Filled with thousands of people, story tellers, musicians, snake charmers, fresh food stalls, copious fresh orange juice stalls (heaven) and the Koutoubia mosque in the background, it was quite an overwhelming experience. We enjoyed a lovely meal of local cuisine at stall number 55 thanks to Abdoul, and then had the chance to wander the square taking it all in. Unfortunately as it was dark and heaving with people, Kate and I constantly felt very conscious of our purses and were often 'accidently' bumped into by local men, which wasn't overly pleasant. We were happy to have experienced the intense market, but were pleased that we had done our shopping elsewhere.
We had a great week in Morocco with Abdoul, ( his cute little stutter, his jokes that were 'under the belt', him saying 'thank you god' constantly, and that everything was 'Bee-u-tiful', and a lot of the way he said things, being quite literal, 'Is it ok to go? Yulla Yulla, or get in here please.) We had plenty of laughs.
The next day saw us having a leisurely morning by the pool, enjoying the sunshine one last time, before heading back to London. To finish off my two year London stay, I went and watched the London marathon and said farewell to all my friends.
Fourteen weeks in Africa was an absolutely amazing experience that will live with me and my travel companions forever. I feel so very lucky, not only to have experienced Africa with some of my dearest friends, but all of the travels that I have done over the past 2.5 years. I have made some amazing new friendships, rekindled some old friendships, and had some great work experiences.
So I'll sign off after 2.5 years abroad visiting 33 amazing countries and look forward to the next chapters of my life, back on home soil.

There's another side to the coin, Doug.
When you go to a doctor, do you want one who knows what she's doing or do you want some pup fresh out of med school who has not had years of practice to make her good? When you go to an attorney do you want someone who knows what he's doing or do you want someone fresh out of law school who isn't really sure where the court house is?
Personally I want a physician who knows my ass from a handsaw and an attorney who knows that torts aren't something you make in a kitchen.
If you institute strict term limits you end up with a very powerful staff/lobbyist system running the legislatures. Check out Colorado. They have an opt out for their otherwise strict state and local term limits law, and each year more and more jurisdictions are opting out of the term limits provisions. They do so by a vote of the public. A referendum. Does that tell us anything? I certainly think so.
I cannot see any overriding reason to require that amateurs be in charge of the legislature.

Excessive texting and social networking may increase teens' risk for dangerous health behaviors, including smoking, drinking and sexual activity, a new study suggests. Researchers looked at hyper-texting (sending more than 120 messages per school day) and hyper-networking (spending more than three hours a school day on social networking sites) among high school students in an urban county in the U.S. Midwest.

Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson vowed to make extending striker Saido Berahino's loan a priority after seeing the teenager fire the club out of the relegation zone.
The frontman, borrowed from West Brom until January, put the seal on a 3-0 home win over 10-man Derby with two late goals after captain Michael Bostwick had set them on their way.
Ferguson said: "Saido is only 19 but he is already a very good player. He is intelligent, caused Derby problems all afternoon and fully deserved his goals.
"We have already asked the question about whether we can extend the loan to the end of the season.
"Saido is loving life here and Steve Clarke, the West Brom manager, knows he is being well looked after.
"We've won four of our last six matches and the players deserve an awful lot of credit for showing real bottle in a tough situation.
"Some people were already thinking we were down and out and there were a lot of tough questions being asked, but we have showed what we are capable of doing when playing to the right standard."

See that's what they call it.
But they teach us to do, not to think.
A genius doesn't answer every question perfectly,
A genius questions every answer given.
A system that judges success by the amount of bills you have,
Makes you work to the bone,
Cuts your soul in halves,
Make us seem like a bunch of clones?
Are we nothing more than machines?
Fill in the right answer, nothing more is accepted.
Thrown away if you can't follow instructions,
Is this in efforts in increase production?
Shall we drive the passion away from everything?
When everyone tries only to survive,
Shall we exist solely to die?
A system that completely determines your life.
Wasn't this system meant for us to thrive?

Coaching duo commit to Pompey
Portsmouth first-team coaches Ian Woan and Guy Whittingham have signed new contracts until 2013.Steve Cotterill's right-hand men would have been out of contract at the end of the season but have now committed themselves to Fratton Park for another two years.Boss Cotterill told the club's official website: "They're both good people who have been very supportive to me during the time I've been here."I think from any manager's point of view, you need loyalty. I never knew I would get that when I arrived because they had been given jobs by other managers. But I think through a very difficult period at the football club they've actually enjoyed this season."They'd been through a lot before I got to the club and I think this is a justifiable reward for them. They needed some stability and I'm really pleased for them."If I was to pick one of them as an assistant-manager it would alienate the other one so it's better if they keep their status equal. That's what I've done - I've let them grow a relationship."

DAILY MANIFESTOEA Can't Conceive What a PS4 Could Even DoPosted on Tuesday, August 30 @ 13:31:11 Eastern by Anthony Severino
EA doesn't think gamers are ready for a PlayStation 4 yet, because, what would it even do? EA Labels boss Frank Gibeau says: Faster, more polygons, upping the graphics... that all sounds pretty good to me, and as someone who wants to push the envelope with games even further, he should think it sounds good too. Instead, he's all like, "Yuck, better graphics... but we already have the internet on our systems." The PlayStation 4 would probably play games. You know, better ones than what are found on the PlayStation 3. The same way the PS3 plays better games than the PS2, and the PS2 plays better games than the PSOne. See, Mr. Gibeau, there's a little something called console lifecycles. When one reaches the end of theirs, it's a sad day indeed, but it also means a new beginning. Sure the PS3 isn't quite there, but to be so against new consoles is just plain stupid. He added: I'm happy with my PS3 and 360, too. But I'm going to start banging on walls - who's with me? [Source]

Fiat remains one of the largest European automakers now with a presence in the U.S. The sale of the Chrysler assets to Fiat is expected to create more trust in the building of American automobiles. A vehicle known as the Promaster City is one of the first builds that is part of the Fiat USA group. Looking for a Promaster City engine is easy for customers using this preowned website. Got Engines specializes in foreign and domestic motors.
There are several European models that have been used to help form the basis of the four-cylinder motors now used in Fiat-based automobiles. The cargo van is one of the popular brands that has been placed into the design of the Promaster City editions. This 2015 model is equipped with the ZF9 transmission and this provides 9 possible gear ratios for the 2.4 Tigershark engines.
Specs for 2.4 Fiat Promaster Engines
A total of 178 horsepower has been placed into the initial builds of the 2.4 series engines. This provides a mileage ratio of up to 26 miles per gallon for motorists. The design is an inline model that produces up to 6400 RPM and a very respected torque level. The inclusion of the larger gearbox boosted the powertrain reliability for the DOHC motor. There are 16 valves in the four-cylinder 2.4 edition and the block is made from cast aluminum.
A person who will replace a defective Ram ProMaster engine should know that a total of 5.5 quarts are needed for the oil pan. This supports the entire functionality of the working fuel delivery system. These specs ensure the Ram Promaster MPG will remain intact for purchasers of replacement cargo van engines. There are not many resources to obtain accurate information for this Ford Transit series competitor in the United States.
How to Buy Used Ram Promaster Motors for Sale
Got Engines is a national resource to find second hand and out of market motors for all brands. The Chrysler-Fiat group is just one example of the types of inventory that can be explored or purchased in real time. After reviewing the specs and payload count for the Promaster cargo vans, the next step is reviewing the price structures that are provided for a motor replacement. A quotation system is featured precisely on this page to make research simpler.
Whether a motor for a 1500, 2500 or a 3500 is needed it can be found here. The MSRP of a brand new Ram engine is not attached to the motors that are for sale in the used inventory at GotEngines.com. A staff helps people to price motors across the country who are not using this website as a total informational source. A toll-free phone system has been installed to make contact easier and to supply reliable information about warranties and shipping prices to consumers.

Launching a business is a complex challenge with many moving parts. Getting a venture off the ground demands dedication and drive, and there are a variety of strategic skills that are crucial for long-term success.

These are questions that Allison Hughes asked herself before she decided to enter the MBA@UNC program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School.

The new Coolpix P610, L840, S9900, S7000 and S6900 all offer big zoom lenses like their predecessors, but get a bit more shoot-and-share flexibility.
Pricing not available
Want a point-and-shoot camera you can take down 30 meters without buying a special housing? Nikon has you covered.
Pricing not available
If you're looking to spend less than $150 on a camera, Nikon has just two to offer US buyers, the ultracompact Coolpix L32 and S3700.
Pricing not available
The S9700 packs a 30x zoom lens, very good photo and video quality, and all the trimmings you should expect.
Check out some examples of just what the 16-megapixel S9700 and its 30x zoom lens are capable of and download full-size image samples.
For what's essentially an entry-level point-and-shoot with a long zoom lens, the L830 is capable of taking some very nice photos.
With easy-to-use controls, a nice tilting LCD, and pleasing photo quality, this 34x zoom camera is a solid pick.
Outside of some design quibbles, the Nikon Coolpix S9700 puts big zoom power and nice photo quality (snugly) in your pocket.
The 12x zoom S810c is a much more pocket- and wallet-friendly Android camera option than Samsung's Galaxy Camera 2.
Sure the P600 has a 60x zoom lens, but can it take a good picture? See for yourself a little of what this camera is capable of.

Match Preview
Hughes gives up on Agudelo signing Mark Hughes believes Stoke have paid the price for Greg Dyke's focus on increasing the number of English players in the Barclays Premier League after he was forced to concede defeat in his hopes of signing Juan Agudelo. Since taking over as chairman of the Football Association in July, Dyke has made improving the playing resources available to the national team his priority, setting up a commission to look into the future of English football. In a speech in September he raised concerns over the ease with which non-European players have been given work permits in the past. Stoke were confident United States striker Agudelo would be granted a permit when manager Hughes and chief executive Tony Scholes travelled to the hearing on Wednesday, but the 20-year-old's case was rejected with no right to appeal. Agudelo had signed a pre-contract agreement and had been due to join the Potters in January when his deal with Major League Soccer side New League Revolution ran out. "We are really disappointed with the decision," said Hughes, who also expressed his frustration that the reasons for the rejection were not given. "If I'm honest, I think there's lesser players been allowed in at previous work permit applications than Juan Agudelo. I just think maybe the goalposts have been changed somewhat. "Obviously there was a statement by Mr Greg Dyke in terms of what he felt was lacking in the game and maybe the committee has taken that on board. Unfortunately we were the first work permit hearing after those statements. "You look at the criteria and he hadn't played as many games as they need to but other factors have to be taken into consideration - obviously his age and his injuries, which stopped him being selected - so there were reasons why he hadn't played the full complement of international matches. "I felt that should have been taken into consideration and his ability as a player and the impact that he would have had for us should have been factored in, but it didn't seem to register. "He's a very focused and determined young man, he wanted to progress his career, and I felt and he felt this was the perfect club for him. No doubt somebody in Europe will pick him up and he'll be a sensation somewhere else unfortunately." The decision forces a rethink by Hughes on his plans for the January transfer window, but a striker remains the priority. He said: "We're still in the market for other players, the focus hasn't all been on one player. But January isn't easy to navigate, so we'll just have to hope we get a little bit of luck. "We've been looking for another striker to complement the ones we have since the summer, that's not a secret, so we continue to look in those areas." Sunderland's upturn in form has come since Gus Poyet replaced Paolo Di Canio in the hotseat, with wins over Newcastle and Manchester City lifting them off the bottom of the table. Hughes was a team-mate of Poyet at Chelsea, and he said: "Gus is a great guy and a very infectious personality, so it's no surprise that he's gone in there and there's been a reaction. "Gus wants his teams to get the ball down and play. They've had two really good home performances, maybe away from home they haven't been quite as accomplished. "But it's up to us to make sure we disappoint them at the weekend because we're a good side and we've got the capability of beating Sunderland." Gus Poyet has warned Sunderland they cannot afford to be caught cold after the international break for a second time if they are to dig themselves out of trouble. The Uruguayan was given a stark picture of what lay ahead for him in his first game in charge of the Black Cats last month when they were trounced 4-0 at Swansea days after his international players had returned to the club. They head for Stoke on Saturday having given their survival hopes a major boost with a fourth successive 1-0 victory over Manchester City last time out. However, Poyet knows that will count for little if his side does not come flying out of the blocks at the Britannia Stadium. He said: "After the last international week, it was my first game and we were destroyed by Swansea, and if we didn't learn from that and go with a different kind of approach to this game, then it's going to be very difficult to get out of the bottom. "We need to make sure we don't repeat that and that we go with more confidence, showing how we want to play, being more competitive and make sure we get a result. "Sometimes things happen for a reason and let's hope that that one was a good wake-up call for this Saturday." Since the debacle at the Liberty Stadium, Sunderland's form has improved dramatically and they have won three of the four games they have played in all competitions, two of them in the league. However, they remain deep in trouble in 19th place in the table with just seven points from their first 11 games and still three adrift of safety. This weekend, it is the Potters and former Chelsea team-mate Mark Hughes who stand in Poyet's way, and it is a reunion to which he is looking forward, provided the result proves satisfactory. He said: "I have got a good relationship with Hughesy. We played together and he was an unbelievable, unique player. "He was the type of player you always want in your team because on Saturday at 3pm, he was always there, always. "He never missed a Saturday at 3pm in terms of his desire to win football games, to score, to show the spirit that a team needs. "For me in the beginning at Chelsea, it was important to see a player like him performing that way, caring so much on the pitch and giving you so much. "I am pleased he is managing in the Premier League because he looks always a very special man." Poyet is still without suspended duo Lee Cattermole and Andrea Dossena, but otherwise has no injury problems, although he is keeping a close eye on defender Wes Brown, who used the international break to recover from his exertions in three successive appearances after 22 months on the sidelines.

Jan Rains 5pts "Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together. I once once more discover myself spending way to significantly time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was nonetheless worth it!"
Rudy Sowerby 5pts If you are paying attention to learn SEO strategies then you must read this article, I am sure you will obtain much more from this post regarding SEO.
Andrew 5pts What is the point in this when they already have the Sonic which is a sub-compact as it is. What's this a sub-sub compact? The designs they have are pretty unsightly.
alex 5pts but everything else is so expensive D: you see the problem here... us tall people need big cars D: heck we practicly need trucks these days and even those are getting craped with creature features and all these redundant safety stuff.
smelly pete 5pts the only reason the manual version exists is so that GM can have a car that starts under $13k if it was automatic only, that would basically add $1k to the base price... and in this market segment.. you sell by being the cheapest
Kyle 5pts However, the fact that the Smart and the Scion iQ do not offer a manual makes the offering by GM a reward to people who prefer to drive a car rather than have a car drive them. I think a manual makes more sense in a small under powered car like this than a power robing slush box. Just my preference though.
smelly pete 5pts they did it because manuals are cheaper than autos, not to be a rewarding thing for drivers.......
smelly pete 5pts go sit in a mini cooper and tell me that a tall guy can't fit in a small car..... big people can fit in small cars, provided the small car wasn't designed poorly.
smelly pete 5pts hate to give GM credit, but I recently had the unfortunate incident of being in one of those super cheap Versa's as a rental... they don't have power windows, no power locks, no keyless entry the hatch doesn't even have a way to open other than by the switch inside the car it'd take a pretty big miss even for GM to end up with a worse car than the base versa
mk40 5pts I don't see much market for this car in the US, especially when a larger roomier, more powerful Nissan Versa can be had for the same money or less.
198d 5pts So after what, 4 or 5 years after seeing this thing for the first time, it finally comes to the U.S? Chevy takes too damn long in bringing out their cars. It would make sense it the reason they took so long for mass production was due to that fact that they would bring out an amazing vehicle...but c'mon.
c6vette 5pts Seriously? If you're fat or tall buy another car? There's a reason cars like this are inexpensive. I never understood the tall/fat person squeezing themselves into little cars. I feel worse for tall people because that's usually not their fault. But I have little sympathy for fat people that complain about not being able to fit in things.
Dave_in_Rio_Rancho 5pts For those of us with a bad left knee, and who would like better all around performance an optional 6-speed automatic would be nice:) Then again my 2012 Kia Soul Plus gets 29 mgp around town; has a 6-speed auto and cost $17,700 plus TT&L out the door.
Lou_313 5pts It looks terrible in my opinion, particularly the front end... Reminds me of a Tata Nano. If it doesn't achieve 40+ highway MPG's with either transmission, it will make little sense next to a Sonic hatch. Also, I find it hard to believe that the low-end Spark LS will have power windows standard. They're not even available on the Sonic LS.
Phoenix5454 5pts D-D-D-D-DEATHTRAP! Especially in America with SUVs and Trucks on the road, a crash in this will kill you.
alex 5pts and what of us who are over 6 feet tall? we can't fit in these dinky little cars... we need head, leg and shoulder room they don't offer untill you get into the midsize SUV catigory...
Ryan 5pts I absolutely love this little car. Its got all of the amenities of a large full sized sedan, yet it costs a quarter of the price. Sure you may give up interior room if your purchase the spark, but its an economy car. If your looking for space, than purchase the new and highly improved impala, which looks amazing. Go GM
mt 5pts I think GM screwed up the interior quality of materials for these cars. The pics scream Daewoo! Maybe they look better in person. Or maybe I'm not the target market. But I'm rooting for them so have at it people! Buy 'em up! Particularily the pink ones!!
alex 5pts I will admit the pricing is decent but what's the millage? an extra 3000-4000 dollars will get you a good Sonic 1.4T with more interior room, larger cargo area, better looks and 42mpg. what is this rated at for EPA?
Kyle 5pts You are correct. These cars are not going to be a hit with fat people. However in today's economy these cars make allot of sense for those of us that maintain a proper BMI.
Brican 5pts What completely spoils these cars is being four tiny doors. GM, ( and several other car-makers) need to realize that a) people are getting bigger, and b) the door posts get in the way/hit your shoulders. (The prototypes were 3-doors). Having seen these cars, they are tiny inside with way too much bare metal. And built down to a price. Interestingly, at two separate car shows, they were kept locked, and the public were told they were "pre-production vehicles", yet they have been on-sale around the world for some time ( and are even available "used"!). I suspect they will be a "miss" in North America, and are only in the product mix to ensure GM meets CAFE fuel economy figures.......interesting, also, to read press reviews from other countries where its sold that don't have too much nice to say about it, in relation to the competion. GM is really going to have to do better....we all know they can.
Kyle 5pts Finally someone built a smart car with a manual transmission. Thank you GM. With gas prices where they are I can't see this not being a hit.
Redscare 5pts One of the rare instances where GM doesn't make their vehicle in a particular segment larger than the others, just to say it is.
KY Car Guy 5pts While I am not a fan of these cars i will say that for it to undercut its competition by 2k and come with allow wheels & pw pd and aux input and 10 airbags i must say this would probably be the one I buy which with rising gas prices is not entirely impossible.

Morici: Obama Appeasement of China, Japan Wrecking Recovery
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Commerce Department reported the May deficit on international trade in goods and services jumped to $45.0 billion from billion $40.1 billion in April. Overall, the deficit is up from $25 billion when the economic recovery began in mid-2009, and poses the most significant barrier to stronger economic growth.
Household spending has recovered but too many of those dollars still go to pay for imported oil and consumer goods from China and cars from Japan. While consumer spending is up 16%, the trade gap has jumped more than 35%.
Consequently, businesses remain pessimistic about demand in the U.S. market and are reluctant to invest. With the majority of U.S. businesses subject to higher personal, as opposed to corporate rates, more onerous and costly regulations and paying more for employee health care, they remain reluctant to hire and continue to offshore jobs.
Sequestration only subtracted about $42 billion from actual government spending this fiscal year, and its impact pales by comparison to the $240 billion increase in the annual trade deficit and the $150 billion January tax jolt.
Fracking in the Lower 48 has not delivered enough new oil, and a full push on U.S. potential in the Gulf, off the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts and in Alaska could cut import dependence in half. Shifting federal subsidies from electric cars, wind and solar to more fuel efficient internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrid vehicles and liquefied natural gas in rail and trucking could slice imports by another 25%. Lower natural gas prices substantially improve the international competitiveness of industries like petrochemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and primary metals. However, the Department of Energy's push to boost liquefied gas exports will handicap growth and create millions fewer jobs than keeping the gas at home for manufacturing and alternatives to diesel in transportation. China systematically undervalues its currency against the dollar to keep its goods cheap in the United States. China steals technology, subsidizes exports and imposes high tariffs on imports, while effectively distracting the Obama Administration from these commercial issues with persistent intransience on cyber-security and passive resistance on nuclear issues with North Korea.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The line quickly became a favorite of riders in search of effective and safe products.

"There was a need for a website that focuses on the Sore No More® products," comments Small. "Many people are embracing a return to more natural products, including Arnica. We think this website will serve as a resource for them."
The new website has an accessible, easy to use design. A drop-down menu has links to brief descriptions of each popular Sore No More® product: liniment, gelotion, shampoo and "The Sauce," a sugardine solution that is perfect for abscesses, thrush, rain rot, scratches and more.
Sore No More® arnica-based cooling products have been internationally recognized.

Damn lucky she was armed. Walking back to your place at 0350hrs after a fast food visit?? Good for her, but what was that your parents told you about nothing good for you happening past midnight?? JD
The moral of this story is to be well armed if you're out wandering the streets at 3 AM. Do people have ANY common sense anymore???
I say good for her and her boyfriend. They won bad guys lost.
Another happy ending.
Another example of how--even with two BG's--one doesn't usually need any more than 5 rounds to end most critical situations. The difference here was shot placement! 2 head shots? Yowza!! She could have used the 15 rounds from some 9mm semi-auto, but a revolver with "only" five rounds was good enough to end this one the right way.
I need to read the TW more often - this is the first I've heard of this one. Good shooting though, too bad one made it.

Museum of the Rockies
Museum of the Rockies
Experience the daily life of a Montana homesteader at the Museum's turn of the century Living History Farm. Costumed interpreters will take you back in time as you watch them cooking over a wood-burning stove, tending to the Heirloom Gardens, and forging iron in the blacksmith shop. The Living History Farm highlights an original 1890s homestead house built by the Tinsley family of Willow Creek, Montana, during the homesteading era. Enjoy the beautiful sights of the garden, the wonderful smells of home cooked meals, and the ambiance of an era gone by.
