Hey all,
My question is this. I have a 04 Xtracab TRD that rides like it's got welded suspension. I've heard that the stock TRD front suspension components offer a pretty firm ride, but is the COIL or the SHOCK more to blame??
I would like to get a smoother ride with no lift at all. What do yall think is my best move? Granted, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on something crazy. Softer ride + no lift = me happy

text: My 17 year old has been given a reckless endangerment citation. He was at a friend's house playing video games. When he went to get in his car to leave, an 18 year old friend jumped on the trunk of his car to ride next door (the distance was less than 500 ft.) When my son started down the street, the 18 year old fell off the back of his car and hit his head on the pavement, knocking him out. He had to be airlifted to the hospital where he spent two days in ICU. I was just wondering what we are looking at when we appear in court?

Current Concepts In Retrocalcaneal Heel Spur Surgery
Keys To Conservative Management In Sedentary Patients And Athletes
In the sedentary group, non-operative management consists of rest, ice and physiotherapy. As far as footwear goes, management includes heel lifts; heel cups; and a change in footwear to a soft heel counter, open heeled shoes or sandals. Other treatments include topical anti-inflammatory medication, laser therapy and night splints. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has demonstrated promising results in the management of insertional Achilles tendinopathy.19,20
In this sedentary group, weight loss plays an important role in the management of the condition and consultations with a personal trainer and dietician can be very helpful. Many patients with this condition cite the inability to walk along with their weight gain, not knowing there are many other exercise options available that will help them reach their goal.
The non-operative management in the athletic group consists of rest, ice, cross-friction massage, the Graston technique, rehabilitation exercises and addressing the biomechanical factors that have contributed to the condition. Altered knee kinematics and reduced muscle activity have been associated with Achilles tendinopathy in runners. Rehabilitation exercises and the appropriate use of orthotics to control the abnormal biomechanical influences that affect kinematics and muscle activity would be beneficial in the treatment of runners with Achilles tendinopathy.21
Modification of footwear or appropriate footwear selection is extremely important and one can do this in consultation with a local running shoe store with experienced staff. Changes in training routine may be necessary as well and patients can achieve this by working with a running coach and physiotherapist.
For other sports, alterations to hockey skates, figure skates and ski boots will often eliminate the pain, which is due to external pressure.
Assessing The Benefits Of Different Surgical Approaches
If non-operative management has failed to relieve the pain and allow the patient to resume normal activities, then consider surgery. Researchers have described a number of surgical approaches for this procedure. They include a medial incision, a medial-J incision, a combined medial and lateral incision, a step down incision and a posterior midline incision.1,17,22-25
Consider a medial incision if it is necessary to harvest an adjacent tendon for augmentation. However, with the advent of regenerative tissue matrix products, one can often avoid this. The medial-J incision will provide exposure to the Achilles tendon, the retrocalcaneal bursa, the posterior calcaneus and adjacent tendons if augmentation is required.
The lateral incision is an option when the main area of concern is the posterior superior calcaneal protuberance and/or retrocalcaneal bursa with no intratendinous spurring or calcification present. Take care to identify and protect the sural nerve during this approach.
A Closer Look At The Author's Surgical Technique
The following is a guide to the author's surgical technique. After anesthetizing the patient, apply a thigh tourniquet and ensure the patient is in the prone position on the operating table. Exsanguinate the leg to ensure good visualization. The surgeon would utilize either a step down incision or a posterior midline incision depending on the width of the posterior calcaneal involvement. One can modify the step down incision to provide greater exposure to the posterior calcaneus, allowing for full resection of the osseous protuberance and remodeling of the medial and lateral edges.
Once one has reflected the overlying soft tissue off the Achilles tendon, employ a central tendon splitting approach. The extent of the tendon detached depends on the size of the osseous structure one is removing. After reflecting the overlying soft tissue, excise any intratendinous calcification and degenerative tendinosis from the healthy tendon. Then carefully excise the retrocalcaneal bursa from the surrounding structures. Using a saw, rongeur and rasp, one would remove the posterior spur and posterior superior osseous prominence. Remodel the calcaneus and remove any sharp or rough edges. Lavage the area to remove all loose resected bone.

heres a linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4473
4473 has been around since 1968. 45 years.
As I understand the distribution of the 4473, it stays with the LGS for 30(?) years or until LGS closes. Then why do they care (and why should it matter) if I am of hispanic descent or what my race is?
Amendment II: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Life Member NRA Life Member NAHC Former President of the ECPT (Eifel Combat Pistol Team)
I'm gonna stop you right there, you just said an AR-15 is a high-powered rifle. It is obvious you don't know anything about guns and I shall ignore anything you say from this point on.
It is called the 'slippery slope', give them an inch and they will take a mile! If they would have left the 4473 alone and used it properly it may have had a positive effect in that you could ask for a 'trace' on a gun and IF the person who purchased the gun lied on the 4473 you could (and should) prosecute them. But they are using it as a back door from of registration and not using it to actually try and stop drug users and mentally ill people from obtaining weapons. Just part of the well thought out strategy of the progressives and we have allowed it to happen!
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society! Self Defense is an absolute and natural right! Keep your head down and your powder dry!
The 4473 is retained by the dealer for a period of 20 years. Hispanic? Govt being politically correct. Makes no difference to anything- brainless Feds. Long gun vs handgun (actually, it is "other") Difference in age to purchase. The other information are the items completed by the dealer (what ID did you use, what were the guns, etc) and those are retained by the dealer- not part of the call in for NCIS
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.

Betting Cowboys-Redskins
With the NFC East championship on the line, believe in RG III
The NFC East crown will be up for grabs when the Dallas Cowboys meet the Washington Redskins on Sunday night.
Analysts and fans alike had high expectations for Robert Griffin III this season, but few thought the Redskins would be a playoff team in his first year. People have run out of superlatives for RG III, who has a Total QBR of 71.1 (sixth in the NFL), has showed tremendous leadership and has only seven turnovers (five interceptions, two fumbles) on the season. During Washington's current six-game winning streak, the defense has also played better and has forced 12 total turnovers while limiting opponents to fewer than 100 yards rushing in four of the six contests. RG III certainly was less mobile last week (two rushes, 4 yards) wearing the knee brace to protect his sprained knee, and it will be interesting to see how much it affects him against Dallas.
For the Cowboys, they have one more chance to right another tumultuous season. Tony Romo has been terrific down the stretch, with 10 touchdowns and one interception in Dallas' past four games (three wins). But the injuries are mounting for Dallas, with Dez Bryant playing through a broken finger and DeMarcus Ware saying that he'll play despite elbow and shoulder injuries.
This season, the Cowboys are 6-9 against the spread but 5-2 ATS on the road. The Redskins are 10-5 ATS, including 4-3 ATS at home. Right now the public is backing the Redskins at a 53.8 percent clip, according to ESPN Insider's PickCenter.
Let's get an analysis on the line and total from Jay Kornegay of the Las Vegas Hotel and a pick from Geoff Kulesa of Wunderdog Sports.
Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins
Spread: Opened Redskins -3.5, still Redskins -3.5
Total: Opened 50.0, now 48.5

Wondering if I can get some advise; this is my first year and am trying to finalize my set-up here in CT.
I bought some used gear and have telescoping covers and some betterbee shims (1.5). I want to use top entrances and am trying to use what I have on hand. I have read a number of posts about top entrances and telescoping covers and most end with the person moving to migratory covers or treating it as one (i.e. sliding it back).
My thought is this. The telescoping cover overhangs by 1.5, the same height as the BB shim. So, if I use the M. Bush top entrance of cheap wood shims under the BB shim and throw the cover over that, the bees could fly right in as though the cover isnt overhanging. Would this leave me with a mess of burr comb?
I am prepared for the quit being ridiculous and just make some covers out of ¾ ply and call it a day and I may end up doing just that.

Abstract: | This study investigates the failure behavior of two types of composite materials using damage models within the framework of ABAQUS finite element software. The failure behavior of an IM7/977-2 carbon epoxy composite material subjected to a Mode I delamination is predicted using traction-separation and bulk material damage models that are based on disturbed state concept (DSC) principles. The models were validated by comparing the results to referenced laboratory testing performed on IM7/977-2 carbon epoxy composite. The damaged states associated with various stages of loading are presented in this study. This study also predicts the failure behavior of asphalt materials through the use of damage models using the principles of the DSC. Traction-separation crack response, damage initiation and damage evolution behavior are investigated by modeling pavement systems consisting of a hot mix asphalt (HMA) overlay above an existing HMA layer and subjected to an applied static wheel loading. Preexisting cracks located within the existing asphalt material are also considered. The extended finite element method (XFEM) was employed to model mesh-independent cracking. The finite element model was validated by comparing the results to indirect tensile laboratory testing and referenced direct tensile laboratory data-based results performed on asphalt samples. The validated model was then used to examine damage in a pavement system with and without preexisting cracks. |

Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
A single film (typical of a film in a foam) moving in a confined geometry (i.e. confined between closely spaced top and bottom plates) is analysed via the viscous froth model. In the first instance the film is considered to be straight (as viewed from above the top plate) but is not flat. Instead it is curved (with a circular arc cross-section) in the direction across the confining plates. This curvature leads to a maximal possible steady propagation velocity for the film, which is characterised by the curved film meeting the top and bottom plates tangentially. Next the film is considered to propagate in a channel (i.e. between top and bottom plates and sidewalls, with the sidewall separation exceeding that of the top and bottom plates). The film is now curved along as well as across the top and bottom plates. Curvature along the plates arises from viscous drag forces on the channel sidewall boundaries. The maximum steady propagation velocity is unchanged, but can now also be associated with films meeting channel sidewalls tangentially, a situation which should be readily observable if the film is viewed from above the top plate. Observed from above, however, the film need not appear as an arc of a circle. Instead the film may be relatively straight along much of its length, with curvature pushed into boundary layers at the sidewalls.

The bar shape is mimicked by the half-circle, black leather couches that line the left side. The space may be small, but that's OK - it's not so much a nightclub for dancing as it is a swanky gathering spot for schmoozing.

Steelers QB Roethlisberger stands by coach
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Steelers QB Roethlisberger stands by coach By Bob Cohn PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW Thursday, December 22, 2011 In the violence-heavy, manhood-testing NFL, there is constant warfare between hearts and heads when it comes to playing hurt. Doctors and coaches usually have the final word. Otherwise, short of severed limbs, the heart prevails. "Usually," said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who would know. Hobbling with his high-ankle sprain between stadium blackouts during Monday night's 20-3 loss to San Francisco, Roethlisberger threw three interceptions, took three sacks and produced a 52.3 quarterback rating, his lowest in 31 regular-season games dating to Nov. 15, 2009. The nasty Niners defense had much to do with that, but Roethlisberger's utter lack of mobility also contributed. Moving in the pocket dropping back or escaping trouble is central to his game. Without that he is a different, and lesser, quarterback. Critics, including ESPN analyst and former All-Pro quarterback Steve Young, blasted coach Mike Tomlin for acceding to Roethlisberger's demands by starting him and then not benching him when the game got out of hand. Tomlin reiterated Tuesday that he supported Roethlisberger's insistence on playing. On Wednesday, before not practicing with his teammates, Roethlisberger formed a one-man pocket to protect his coach. "I don't think he should be criticized for that," he said. "I'm glad he let me go out there and play. I wish I could have played better. I could have played better, and if I would have, I don't think people would have said a thing. "I'm not saying I talked him out of taking me out and said, 'No I'm going out there no matter what,' but I wasn't gonna quit," Roethlisberger said. "He kind of asked me if I wanted to come out, and I said, 'Nope.' So, it's on me." Big Ben also refuted a published report that he would sit out the last two regular-season games, saying he felt better than he thought he would and expected to play Saturday against the 2-12 Rams. "I drink a lot of milk," he jokingly said. Although Roethlisberger downplayed his injury, "There were times there were guys around my feet, because I couldn't get as much depth on my drop and I couldn't step into some of the throws," he conceded. "I think that was a factor." But he basically remained in no-excuse mode. "I know that I could have made a couple more plays," he said. "I know I could have gotten out of a couple of those sacks. I know it. It's very frustrating for me, and I know it's frustrating for the linemen and the receivers because they're so used to it." Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo, whose club was eliminated early from the playoffs, is in a far different place from Tomlin. With nothing left to gain (except perhaps the No. 1 draft pick by losing out), Spagnuolo has sat down his young quarterback Sam Bradford, who also has a high-ankle sprain. Tuesday, Bradford said he "absolutely" wants to play. "You're dealing with some highly competitive individuals," Spagnuolo said. "Let's face it, these guys don't make it to this level without being that. I think we all, as head coaches, use our best judgment. But there's a lot of trust in players and a lot of respect for players and that competitive edge. I think you wrap that all together, and then you make that decision." Bob Cohn can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-320-7810.

I recently wrote in The Globe and Mail: "Mr. Harper's statements, false accusations, as well as his contempt for parliamentary procedures only digs him deeper into the hole he has dug for himself and his entire conservative party. The fact remains that a MAJORITY of Canadians did not vote for him in the last elections. The fact remains that it is very constitutional for the opposition to come together to remove him from office. They, at this time and as long as the current election results stand, represent that majority of Canadians. The Bloc Quebecois is every bit as much a Canadian Federal Party as the Conservative party, whatever the views they may sustain. That is democracy at its purest level. The coalition between the Liberals and the NDP is as constitutional as the very principles upon which the Constitution was written and approved. For Mr. Harper to resort to last minute and desperate tactics simply to save his own scorched hide is to demonstrate how little respect he has for democracy, the parliamentary system, the constitution, and, very sadly, for Canadians at large. The coalition today represents the majority in the House of Commons. So great is Mr. Harper's arrogance, and ignorance, that even in defeat he continues to remain in denial, blind to reality; truly the marks of one that has lost control of himself, and why not say so, bordering on insanity."Regardless of the coalition partner's, Mssrs. Dion and Layton, with the silent support of Mr. Duceppe, there is no question as to the legitimacy of the motion put forward, and Canadians should understand this. To judge a legitimate parliamentary and constitutional right on the basis of personalities is to err in the very gravest of manners, and it should be stated in the strongest of terms, for to mislead the public as Mr. Harper has done is as serious an offense as that which he committed in providing advice to the Governor General. What must prevail from this very sad moment on Canadian politics is that democracy comes first, that the notion of coalition governments must be accepted as a fact of modern polity, and above all, that a modern state must seriously reconsider its very structure in terms of power. Surely the reaction and result to this event, had it happened in Germany, France, Italy, of indeed Great Britain, would have been entirely different?
The other parties may have a gripe against Harper, but as far as I can tell, ordinary Canadians (i.e. those without party ties or ideological loyalty) think the Conservatives are doing at least a passable job of governing the country. We are in for a period of economic turmoil (I'll stay away from the R-word for now because the situation in Canada may be different from the US), and I for one don't want a change of regime just when we need steady hands. Harper has handled the economy steadily, even if he may fall short in other ways. The way the Liberals, the NDP and the Bloc behaved smacks of political opportunism, nothing more. And I daresay most Canadians see that. Of course, most of us also know that's the way it goes in politics. It's just that now is a dangerous time for shenanigans.
it's my mistake, A-B-C started by Danny William, in Newfoundland and Labrador, it does not impact other provinces
"What puzzles me is why some people think that cuts in public funding for political parties and bans on strikes by public-service unions are strong grounds to topple the government..."
The grounds on which the coalition stands to topple the government reflects an accumulation of irresponsible and bullish governance by the Harper administration. The coalition's formation was no doubt triggered by the budget proposal, which attempted to cut the legs out from underneath the other three parties. The Conservatives would have been the only party to benefit from this proposal, as 60% of their funding comes from private donors, compared to 20-30% for Liberals and NDP and 10% for the Bloc. I think most people can agree that this was a highly partisan move, certainly not the type to make when in the midst of an economic crisis that calls for unity among political parties. Even if public subsidies for political parties were wrong in principle (they're actually not), now would NOT be the time to do away with them. Harper's retraction of this proposal does nothing to neutralize the loss of confidence engendered by the original proposal.
But this isn't the only reason the other parties have united to topple the government. Recall the previous Parliament, where Harper specifically implemented fixed election dates because they "prevent[s] governments from calling snap elections for short-term political advantage" (his actual words). Then he called a snap election for short-term political advantage. Also recall the way in which he tied a great deal of his motions to votes of confidence in the House, in a sense ruling as a majority government. Following Canadian parliamentary tradition, the budget is the only motion that need by tied to a vote of confidence. Harper abandoned that tradition in a highly partisan way. The Liberals were in no position to contest an election, and would have been publicly demonized for 'causing' another election had they chosen to do so by voting against these motions. Harper knew they were in a position of weakness (look weak if they don't vote against these motions, and irresponsible if they do), and took full advantage.
The coalition parties have good reason to doubt the abilities of the Conservative Party to rule in a non-partisan fashion, and have finally united to express their displeasure with the regime.
Dion needs to leave, and Michael Ignatieff needs to become leader of the Liberals before January 27 if they stand a chance of winning a minority in the next elections.
I actually work at Hydro One a member of the Power Workers Union. The only people that want the right to strike are the union executives and their negotiators. People see the economic downturn, they/we, want to keep our jobs in this difficult time. If we had to strike right now it would have to be quick and short strike just to make some stupid point to appease our negotiators but we certainly would not want to be on a picket line for any length of time, most(me) not at all.
Take this to the NDP/Layton mentality; times have changed over the years. Taking away the right to strike would mean the government considers your work important enough they would offer reasonable settlements. Such as the one PSAC just accepted. But not the kind that elementary school teachers in Ontarion rejected for the second time at 12.4% over 4 years. An example of taking away their right to strike when they turn down an offer like that. This is what the Harper government would need that policy change for. There are numerous unions in the fed government that still need settling. Border guards, coast guards, engineers, RCMP and on and on. Reasonable offers need settlement with out strikes.
Jack, you must be an NDP'r that doesn't work in a union but are a highly educated and bright person. It's funny how the coalition keeps accusing Harper of fanning flames, raising the blood pressure of the house of commons. But your "right wing reform nut" statement is far worse than anything right of centre bloggers here have stated. Similarily it is hypocritcal everytime Bob Rae & Stephan Dion accuse Harper of being mean spirited. Much like your statements about some of us not being bright and our right wing nutiness. I am glad my uneducated vote counts equally to yours. Maybe you should stay on the CBC blogg sight where everyone is of like minded left of centre opinion like yours.
I have to read the Economist so that I get a more impartial and liberal view of the world, neither Americanized nor a CBC'ized view. Living in Canada there isn't anything "right wing" enough for me
By the way looks like Manely agrees with my previous blog. Rebuild don't head up a coalition.
To correct another one of Jacks errors; in fact it took Martin about 6 years to get to a balanced budget not 13 years of surplusses. On surplusses, you need to know that a majority of Canadians including many liberals would not want large continuous surplusses. This is money should stay in the economy. Of course people further left obviously would disagree, they would want it redistributed to their hair brained wealth transfer schemes.
The NDP has come closer to power this week than at any time in Canada now or in the future. Libs need to rein in Dion and now NDP Rae before they do further damage. Polls tell the truth. 52% against the coalition and if coaltion the 48% want another election.
Pretty Clear
The Economist has it right. The alleged lack of measures to stimulate the economy is just a pretext. What puzzles me is why some people think that cuts in public funding for political parties and bans on strikes by public-service unions are strong grounds to topple the government. If Mr. Flaherty and Harper are being partisan and arrogant, then surely the same can be said of the other three party leaders. I would add that these three are particularly inept as well. Witness Mr. Dion's televised speech.The way things are going, I expect there will be a coalition government in January (assuming the coalition doesn't fall apart by then, which is a big assumption). The coalition government will be inept. The coalition falls apart and a new election is called. At which time disgusted Canadians will vote in a majority Conservative government.
Obviously you have plenty of right wing reform nuts on your site. I would like to point out a simple fact that it was the Liberals who eliminated our deficit and gave us 12-13 years of surpluses, and within just two years the Reform/conservatives sqandered it and we now have a deficit going into this mess. You call Harper smart? Give your head a shake..., by playing brinksmanship he turned a political crisis of his doing and exacerbated it by pitting the east against the west, and stirred up a national unity crisis. No he (Harper) will be gone soon enough once Ignatieff or Rae become the new leader for the Liberals. I used to think that only the more bright ones perused this site..., now I am not so sure.
Yes OttawaRob you've got it right. The separatist Bloc has got to go. We now have a Prime Minister with the determination and the brains to out-manouvre them. The people of Quebec wield an inordinate amount of power and influence over the nation. Go ahead Stephen Harper take the lever away from them.
"A Most Elegant and Lethal Trap" see Ottawa Citizen Dec 5 2008
Canada's government and economy has been well managed under the Conservatives. Despite the global financial crisis, we have weathered the storm relatively unscathed compared to our peer countries. Yes, times are indeed tough for some industries, but our fundamentals are sound and our financial system is not in trouble. And while the Big 3 feel they have a right to more of our money, please note that Toyota opened a new car plant in Woodstock on Friday.
The three stooges wanted to throw the country into a tailspin by sacrificing $30B of taxpayer's hard earned income to "stimulate" the economy. In Canada, history has shown time and time again that whenever the government tries to pick winners, we are all losers.
And to my fellow Canadians I ask you this: what right does *any* political party have to being funded for free with tax revenue? If a party is unable to raise a mere $1.95 for every vote they receive, how legitimate is their support? Forced political contributions from union dues was banned in Canada and so should forced political contributions from tax revenue.
German parliament agrees to not have elections too often (unlike Italy :)) Most European governments actually don't work as far as creating change, correcting and shifting from one politcal idiologue to another. A healthy democracy is one that does shift idiologues fully completely every several years. Britain, USA, most commonwealth countries....thank-you England. (I am of German heritage, 1st gen Canadian.)
Too much whishfull opinion on this post. The polls have sky rocketed for Harper, his popularity is at 51% next in line is Iggy at 14%, with Dion at 8% this is a total drop from duirng the election. The Torys now are up at 47% in the polls. Libs down to 24% and thank-god NDP is down to 14%. So much for a large support for a coalition government.
Harper is arrogant, stong minded, cunning, smart, tough some people don't like these qualities but a large proportion do the polls show it. Harper needs another election before May and this is part of his plan. You can and will vote against it but the polls show Cons will win.
Liberal insiders actually want a majority tory government, they need a couple of years to rebuild, it doesnt just happen with a leadership change they need to reconnect with their people. There are a lot of upset libs here in Ottawa and throught Canada, I know some of them.
Somebody posted that ABC gained strength in Ontario??? The Cons gained most of their seats from Ontario. Yes a few in NB. & NS, and to a lesser extend BC too. This also shows Harper is not trying divide the country but in affect unite against speratists. If it is one thing that all Canadians agree on is they want a strong true north and free.(from sepratists) There are millions of Quebecers that are not sepratists. They are waiting for a strong leader, and as long as the Cons can get some seats in Quebec 5 to 15 seats that is enough(not ideal but enough)
Harper is uniting rural Canada in Central Canada and the Maritimes with the west. Not just the west. Cities will always be left of centre, just look at your local municipal governments. They are a right off and always will be as far as being centrist or slightly right of centre.
As a Canadian we need a strong two party system with one 3rd party. The two major parties can, will and do take various policy initiatves that are promoted by the 3rd and 4th parties. (Income splitting, Enviro laws) We aren't Europe, although sometimes Quebec seems to forget this. For these reasons and more we need to get rid of the $1.95/vote scheme Chretien brought in towards the end of his government not all that long ago. The Liberals need to re-aquaint themselves with their grass roots and not rely on their solid and strong brand. This solid brand has been whashed away partly by Martin and even more by Dion. The faster we get rid of $2/vote the quicker the Bloc withers on the vine and also the Greens which erode votes from the Liberals. NDP has a good grass roots membership so they will be hurt the least by getting rid of the vote subsidy. The Libs will create the most massive grass roots campaign Canada will ever see. Canada is predominantly a centre left country which is why the Libs are the naturally governing party of Canada. But not right now they have strayed way to the left, they need to rebuild. A vote subsidy makes them lazy and helps the Bloc and the Greens dispraportionately
I want whats best for all of Canada and that is a strong two party system in which when one party becomes detached from the population the other strong party will take over democratically not by this coalition.
A lot of short sighhtedness by the Dion libs and several posters here. Liberals please rebuild it's best for Canada
It was nothing but a legal coup. Politically it belongs in Robert Mugabe's bag of tricks. Nevertheless, we shall have your scalp oh forked tongue pale face!
It was quite obvious that the last 2 elections had proven Canadians despice with the conservative party by voting them twice only as a minority government, and last election campaign
saw the A-B-C (Anything But Conservative) gaining strong hold
in province of Ontario.
The Harper government has been nothing, but the de facto of an
American Junior inclining towards the neo-con of Bush administration.
The formation of a coliation party comprising of 3 strange bed
fellows (Liberal NDP Bloc Quebecois) had been first in Canadian history, indeed been brewing for quite sometimes ever since the minority government was first voted in. The fact it has gather momentum during this economic crisis.
I strongly support a coalition government, as this is part and parcel of a learning process of upholding a truly democratic society.
Coalition governments had already existed in many countries with some running quite successfully, notable the Germany,
and Netherland. It is time Canadian should attune to learn and live in such way a single government existed but to strive to
accomodate diff ideology/policy and diverse opinion. as otherwise, will fall into the victim of its southern neighbour's duopoly system of "Either Democratic Or Republican".
Harper has not only united the left and right, he's got Canadians interested in politics again. Imagine what that would take.While usually staid and placid, the citizens seem a bit miffed that he has been tweaking their democracy in autocratic ways. This has actually got them quite riled. Seldom-heard-from Canadian republicans are organizing and asking why Canada has a Queen, and a Governor General to represent her.Some are fuming mad, as evidenced by this rather humorous video remix that follows an popular internet meme, villifying the beleaguered Prime Minister: http://harperdictatorship.caA most exciting week for Canada, with rallies on both sides all over the country this weekend, one in Toronto on Saturday at noon featuring Dion and Layton themselves. Be prepared for a protracted fight.
I'm a Canadian who voted Conservative in the last two elections. Although I think the coalition would make a terrible government, I feel even more strongly that Harper's handling of this situation has disqualified him from continuing as Prime Minister (I'm not even sure he is still the Prime Minister, given the extra-constitutional actions he's taken in recent days).It's bad enough that he lobbed a live hand grenade (the party funding cuts) just as Parliament was set to take on the financial crisis, but his strategy for staying in office has been to whip up Westeners against Quebeckers (two groups in Canada with notoriously fragile egos). It's the job of the Prime Minister to make the country stronger, not more fractured.This coalition idea is incredibly unpopular with Canadians (far beyond those who voted Conservative), but so is Harper now. The obvious solution is for Harper to resign (willingly or not) and the Conservatives to keep on governing. Unfortunately nobody expects Harper to do the right and honourable thing here.
It is not that Stephen Harper came to the sobriquet "Harper the Cowardly" by way of comeuppance of a hubristic man. Nor by the shutting down of the parliament he has abused, bullied and lied to. Nor by the despot-in-a-teapot small-mindedness he has stirred and forced on Canadians to drink. Nor by his dirty-pawing of Canada's unity and its long-standing democratic traditions. Oh no: Harper came to it like a worm.
It is true.
Irrespective of the technicalities of our parliamentary system, I voted for Harper & the conservative philosophy, not my local MP. In fact, until I went to the polling booth, I had no idea who he was. I suspect there are many more like me. And, we aren't happy with what the "3 stooges" are up to. Maybe we should invest in another election. Now that there are so many more truths on the table, we could return a more fitting result, what? And, the $300 million would be a sort of stimulus package, wouldn't it?
This an excellent description of a very complex situation.
Clear, concise and complete.
P. Dumas, Canada
No Rich, you were not listing,PM Harper never called the people of Quebec sep's , he called out lib's for getting bed with the Bloc (6 sentent seats)plus veto voting)Sep's which if you ask Dup he will sat that fact,Richard you need to understand that back in the 70's Turduea was a hard nose guy just like Harper is today and i'm glad he is because i don't want Obama to walk all over us
It is about Seat count not %,the lib's an ndp are short,so you need to get in bed with the Bloc, sure go for it on the 27 but trust me,we will be back at the polls March 17th. There is know way the GG will let the Bloc control the gov. without the peoples vote
jaydd. you are unfortunately a prevaricator. The Liberals didn't get in bed with the Bloc in the slightest. For the betterment of the entire country, they agreed on a set of stimulus measures. Harper and his team of pitbulls called the Bloq and Quebecers every name in the book this weeek to save their skin. It worked, but not next time.The emperor has no clothes. Mr. Harper is a total loser.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:- Considering Apple's Smart cover is $45.00 CDN, this is a really good value.
- The cover fits nicely, it is snug, but not too tight.
- The cutouts for the buttons, camera & speaker match perfectly.
- The orange colour is a shade darker than Apple's orange (I also have Apple's Smart cover).
- The magnets work flawlessly.
- Comes with a lint free cleaning cloth (the size of the iPad 2 screen).
- Material is similar to Apple's Smart cover, but a bit cheaper.
- The finish on the edges could be a bit better, but not a deal breaker.
- Would be nice if it came in other colours, besides the "Apple Smart cover" colours... Yellow, purple, black, etc.
- I would definitely recommend this product if you want the Apple Smart cover look, with the extra back protection.
- I am even considering buying the other colours.

Equality of Pastors
At any church over a couple hundred in attendance and even some with less attendance you are likely to encounter a multiple pastor staff. As churches grow more pastors are needed to shepherd more specific areas of the congregation. Whether it is small groups, youth, worship, outreach, or missions as churches grow pastors will be placed into roles to oversee those ministries. Each person who fills that pastoral role, in the ideal, is called to that particular ministry. They feel that God has placed a burden on their heart to shepherd people in that area.
Now on any leadership structure there is always a place where the final decision will rest and typically that is with the Lead Pastor. However, in a good structure everyone is included in the decision making process and has input and the Lead Pastor serves as a sort of tie breaker in the event of indecision.
In my last post a new friend pointed out that this isn't typically the case as he as experienced and seen as a Worship Pastor and in much of my experience I can agree. There seems to be both within the internal workings of the church and within the perception of the congregation a pastoral hierarchy that determines the weight of input and pastoral capability. I remember one moment in particular where I was talking with someone who made the remark "…but you're not a real pastor" since I was a lowly Youth Pastor. This individual meant no disrespect by the comment but it revealed the perception that in many minds the title and role of "pastor" is reserved only for the lead person. As I've thought about that and reflected on the comment left in yesterday's post I realized that I wanted to make some statements regarding the roles of pastors.
As I stated above, each ministry is usually overseen by a Pastor who is called and equipped to minister in that area. Over a period of time an individual's call may change and lead them to shepherd in another area of ministry but each place there should be a call from God to be there. If this holds true then how do we correct the misconception that one role is more vital or more "pastoral" than others?
Here's what I think:
Pastoral Roles Are Equal
When it comes right down to it all pastoral roles are equal in importance. A Youth Pastor is called to be a pastor to youth, youth leaders and parents. That's an important role. A Worship Pastor shepherds musicians and the congregation as they engage in worshiping our Creator. A Lead Pastor guides, directs, and pastors the congregation and the rest of the staff. All of the roles serve a purpose. When we elevate one over the other we are essentially saying that one group is more important that the other which is simply not true. Some may respond pragmatically and say that the roles that serve adults is more important that a Children's Pastor or Youth Pastor because adults bring in the money to keep the church going. While the business aspect of that idea may be true, the spiritual is not. The church is not a business and it's primary purpose is not to bring in money but to be a gathering of people who desire to encounter and grow with God. Therefore, since each ministry is working towards that purpose, all pastoral roles are equal.
Vision and Mission Are Team Activities
Pastors should all be a part of determining the vision and mission of the church. This is essential because these pastors are working as a team to accomplish the set goals of reaching people. Each pastor should be a part of determining it and must most definitely buy into it in order to shepherd in their particular area. A worship pastor cannot be a puppet that a Lead Pastor uses to make their services look or sound good. Rather, a worship pastor must be bought into the mission and vision and given room to actually shepherd in their area of expertise. There must be a team approach in Pastoral ministry because each individual has their finger on the pulse of those categories.
Different Calls, Different Ministries
The final reason why I believe that the perceived hierarchy should be dispelled is because each Pastoral figure is called to their particular ministry. What I am saying is that a Lead Pastor is called to be a Lead Pastor not a Worship Pastor. They must recognize that their shepherding capabilities will not be suited for the roles that they are not called to. A Children's Pastor is called to Children, not Youth. Each pastoral role takes a different gift set. The myth of this hierarchy would lead us to assume that the person highest on the pyramid is capable of shepherding in every area which simply isn't true. While a Lead Pastor may have at one time been a Youth Pastor that does not make them called or qualified to lead Youth in the present situation. That Youth Pastor is equally valuable in a different role. You could call this understanding of pastoral roles "complementarian". Equal value, different giftings.
Overall, if the hierarchical issue lies within the leadership of the church then I would say two things. One person cannot do everything. Building a staff environment that values each pastor in their role will build a stronger team, stronger church and stronger vision. Lead Pastors who are seeking God and the best for their church will value the other pastors on their staff and the input and accountability that they bring to the table. If not, they are only seeking to glorify themselves and build around their personality not around a mission and vision that seeks to reach people for Jesus and grow them in discipleship.

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York
NEW YORK -- Freshman Raigyne Moncrief scored a season-high 27 points and Theresa Plaisance added 16 to lead No. 15 LSU to a 69-65 win over Rutgers on Friday in the Women's Invitational at Barclays Center.
LSU (5-1) was missing DaShawn Harden and Danielle Ballard, who were suspended for a game after being ejected for fighting in a game against Louisiana Tech last week. The pair were tossed after a video review by officials.Even without the two, the Lady Tigers were too much for the Scarlet Knights (4-2).LSU led by four at the half and increased the advantage to 48-41 before Rutgers rallied to within 50-49. That's as close the Scarlet Knights could get.The Lady Tigers bumped the lead back up to eight before the Scarlet Knights rallied to 68-65 with 21 seconds left. Betnijah Laney missed a 3-pointer with 5.5 seconds left and LSU held on.Kahleah Copper scored 16 points and Briyona Canty added 13 to lead Rutgers.The Lady Tigers will face Michigan on Saturday. The Wolverines beat Texas Tech 82-71 in the first game of the doubleheader.Trailing 20-19 late in the first half, Moncrief scored six straight points, including going end-to-end on two consecutive layups. The Lady Tigers led 29-25 at the half as neither team really could get going offensively. They combined to shoot 17 for 61 from the field in the first 20 minutes.Rutgers got better in the second half, but was done in by 29 turnovers.Laney returned to the Rutgers lineup after missing the last two games with a right ankle sprain. She had 11 points and seven rebounds.This was the first real test for C. Vivian Stringer's young Scarlet Knights. In the past the Hall of Fame coach would put her team through a rigorous non-conference schedule facing numerous Top 25 teams. With no seniors on this year's squad, Stringer will only play Top 25 members LSU and Georgia before beginning conference play.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinbergCopyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Makes one giant cookie. I like to save half for another snack.Submitted by: LUCYTHERUNNER
Awesome on the go breakfast cookie! Make extra and freeze until needed! There is a bit more to them when nutritional value is considered, but these tend to last me until i am ready for lunch! :)Submitted by: NOPROMISES22
