They do it with the SWIFT system for banks, surely phones are simpler.
I'd say that's a max. Class representatives Lieff Cabraser thankfully has a history of this kind of defendant-friendly incompetence. Note their role in the settlement in the California Hospital Price Gouging case, where the class received about $1,000 apiece in what should have also involved criminal charges.
Do the math: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lieff_Cabraser_Heimann_%26_Bernstein#Prominent_Cases
If you're seething about a low settlement, blame the law firm representing the class, Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, who have a history of engineering small settlements for huge cases.
It's kayfabe, LCHB is a shill acting in the defendant's interest.

Listen man, just pay attention to what their PR and image marketing staff is paying people to say, and think of it as the most awesome thing ever. You're obviously just using it wrong.

Black people in the US can never transcend abuse, due to what Paul Mooney termed "the nigger wake up call," which is the observation that no matter what an African American achieves in America, they can still be treated "like a nigger," if the system wants to do so.

Ah, the "Well, you should have bought supported hardware" response. You can put that next to the "Well, why don't you code it yourself?" response in the library of catch-all catty answers to any criticism of OSS.
Sure, but your point here appears to boil down to, "Well, why doesn't CyanogenMod code it for me?" You know, if CM is so great and everything.

Has anybody mapped the anger to members who are up for re-election in 2014? Feinstein isn't up until 2016 I think, and she doesn't appear to be bummed about it at all.
On what are you basing this prediction? Why is your scenario more likely than one where the employee is now known to be a valuable asset with whom the client likes to work?

Hello all,
I have a question regarding Beersmith 2.0. I am building my first all grain recipe. The problem I am having is choosing my equipment. I am using a 10 gallon cooler as a mash tun and a 10 gallon brew pot. I am turning out 5 gallon batches. But this is not an option under equipment. I can choose 10 gallon cooler with 15 gallon brew pot or 5 gallon cooler with 7-9 gallon brew pot. Both cause my mash calculations to be completely different.
My second question is:
If I use the set up for 5 gallon cooler and 7-9 gallon brew pot it comes back saying I need to add 21.56 (5.39 gallons) and then fly Sparge 3.45 gallons. That leaves me with a grand total of 8.84 gallons.... its based on a 5 gallon batch. Granted it's a 90 minute boils but am I really going to lose 3.84 gallons in boiling or did I screw my numbers up somewhere?
Thanks for helping this noob out!
You can set up your own equipment profile or edit what is there to match your equipment. Click on the "Profiles" tab and select "Equipment". From there either select add equipment or double-click the profile you want to edit. Easy peasy!
Make a new equipment profile in the equipment section and the grain will hold a lot of that liquid, it won't all come out, and the dead space volumes add to it as well, you might want to knock those down for the kettle and mash tun.
Also there are places to put deadspace (i.e. water left in the bottom of the cooler after you drain it). Check them against your equipment. Between 1-1.5 gallons of boil off, a few quarts to grain absorption, and gallon + to dead space and you are in the right neighborhood
Sleepy Creek Brewery, Leesville, NChttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Sleepy...743?ref=stream
You should create an equipment profile for your specific equipment.
You're best off checking the boil off for your pot by boiling a measured amount of water for an hour, then checking the volume when the boil is done and cooled down. You're going to lose somewhere around 0.5 gallons to trub/cold break while chilling, so you can figure out, based on your boil off amount, the pre-boil volume you need to shoot for in order to end up with 5.5 gallons post boil.
Boil off is a constant, so in your boil off test it doesn't matter if you boil 6 gallons or 3 gallons, just put the amount of boil off in the appropriate field in the equipment profile.
Once you've got the pre-boil volume set in your equipment profile, your mash water and sparge water volumes will adjust to get you to that volume.

In These Games, the Points Are All Political
By MICHAEL ERARD
Published: July 1, 2004
BY day, Jeremy Kenney, 33, fixes Web sites and databases for the Republican National Committee. By night, on weekends and in his spare time he dabbles in an emerging form of political marketing: the online game.
Part advertisement, part journalism, part cartoon, such games put fun in the service of ideology -- with varying sophistication.
One of Mr. Kenney's efforts, Democratic Debate Bingo, is little more than an interactive cartoon. A more engaging game is John Kerry: Tax Invaders: the player controls President Bush's head, which fires laser bolts at descending phalanxes of numbers. After fending off three waves of numbers, meant to represent prospective tax increases, the player is rewarded with the message, ''You've saved the country from John Kerry's tax plans!''
A supporter of Mr. Bush but not much of a gamer himself, Mr. Kenney says his game development process is not elaborate. He vets an idea with colleagues, and if it is easy to program, he does it. Tax Invaders ''was a fluke,'' he said. ''It was done within 24 hours. It was real, real fast. It was a fun thing to do for tax day.''
When it comes to creating political games, of course, more than one can play, and the Democrats are having their go at it as well. The recipe is simple: mix one part political message, one part 1990's new-media optimism and one part computer animation, then bake until the money runs out.
Some skeptics say the partisan games are mere election-year novelties. ''The games are anecdotes,'' said Andrew Rasiej, an Internet impresario who organized a recent conference on digital democracy at the New School for Social Research in New York. ''They're cute and nice, and people will send them to each other, but they're not going to capture their imagination because that populace will recognize that the culture that's creating these games isn't a natural Net culture. It's a typical political machine using it to showcase itself.''
But advocates say the game format offers a powerful new political vehicle. Traditional forms of political communication like advertising treat voters as passive recipients of rhetoric, they say, while games entice the potential voter to interact with the message.
That is the perspective of Ian Bogost, who was hired two months ago by the Democratic National Convention Committee to produce a game, Opinions, that will be released on the Web this month.
In contrast to Mr. Kenney's homegrown style, Mr. Bogost has a background as a professional game developer and game researcher and recently completed a doctorate in game design at the University of California, Los Angeles. This fall he will begin teaching as part of the new doctoral program in digital media at Georgia Tech. He is also nonpartisan. ''It's just that the Republicans haven't called me yet,'' he said.
Dr. Bogost says he wanted to do more than attract voters, old or young, to a Web site. ''I didn't get into games because I wanted to reach a demographic,'' he said. ''I did it because I think games can communicate political concepts and processes better than other forms.''
Dr. Bogost gained notice as a co-developer of the Howard Dean for Iowa game, which was introduced late last year, before the Iowa caucuses. Billed as the first computer game endorsed by a presidential candidate, it drew more than 100,000 players in the month before the Jan. 19 caucuses, and it was widely discussed on political and gaming Weblogs. Dr. Dean's campaign is history, but the game remains online (www.deanforamericagame.com).
The game was created after Joichi Ito, a Tokyo-based high-tech venture capitalist, introduced Dr. Bogost and his creative partner, Gonzalo Frasca, to Britt Blaser, a technology adviser to the Dean campaign. A three-week effort costing $20,000, it simulated the trenches of grass-roots politics to show Dr. Dean's supporters what they could do in Iowa to help get out the vote. Players could generate virtual Dean supporters by passing out leaflets, waving signs and canvassing door to door.
Mr. Blaser considers the game to have been a success. ''The bang for the buck was worth it,'' he says, pointing out that $20,000 buys little television time, which is fleeting anyway.
But Dr. Bogost saw a shortcoming in his Dean game that was often attributed to the campaign itself: that it focused more on organizing than on discussing issues.
''The Dean game didn't speak politically about anything,'' Dr. Bogost said. Its depiction of leaflet-passing and sign-waving could easily work for Bush supporters, too. He says he learned from that process that ''if you call something political, it has to be political.''
When Dr. Bogost began work on Opinions, the game for the Democratic convention committee, he tried to make it not only entertaining, but a dynamic argument about how the world works. In Opinions, the player performs an action in each of six minigames simultaneously, seeking to achieve a balance among them. Actions in the minigames, each corresponding to a domestic or international policy topic, affect the ease of playing in the other minigames.

I won't tell you that not going to Easter service will send you to Hell. I won't tell you that not going to Easter service will change God's love for you. And, I won't tell you that not going to Easter service means you don't believe in God or His one and only Son, Jesus. What I will tell you is that Easter is a big deal.
In fact, I've titled my message for this year's Easter service, "What's The Big Deal?" You see, I'm convinced that too many believers belittle this historical and life changing event. We fill ball fields and stadiums cheering for our favorite team. We go out of our way to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and other signature events. Yet, will we have the same enthusiasm and devotion this Easter?
You see, there is a reason that even secular history books acknowledge the magnitude of Jesus birth, death, and resurrection. (B.C.) Before Christ mankind didn't have a chance, was hopeless, and was destined for Hell. (A.D.) After Christ, every man, woman, boy, & girl was given a chance. A chance to repent, to believe, and to receive eternal life through Jesus Christ our Savior & Lord.
This Easter you could choose to stay home. But, the moment you fully realize all that Christ has done for you, you will rethink your decision. You will realize as I do now that I can't ever thank God enough for sending His son Jesus to die for my sins. Jesus changed my life forever and it doesn't matter what you've done in your past, Jesus can change yours too.
I pray you make your way to an Easter Celebration. Not just to say you did and take a family photo, but to celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. To say, thank you Jesus for I am a life that is changed and eternally grateful.
Should you not have a church home, I want to personally invite you to join me @ Refuge Church. We have two worship service opportunities (9am & 11am) you can choose from. We're located at the Colleton Recreation Center (280 Recreation Lane, Walterboro). The dress is casual, the people are friendly and the service will be incredible. I promise we'll change the way you think about church. We'll have coffee & donuts, activities for Birth-5th grade during both services, and no offering plate will be passed around. Happy Easter!

Grand Canyon Uranium-mining Threats Still Loom A Year After Historic Mining Restrictions, Phoenix, Ariz.
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK - One year after the Obama administration enacted new protections limiting uranium-mine
development on 1 million acres around Grand Canyon National Park, pollution and legal threats from the uranium industry remain. Five
uranium-industry lawsuits - one seeking upwards of $120 million from the United States - as well as plans to reopen two 1980s-era
mines still threaten the public and traditional tribal land and water within and around Grand Canyon National Park.

Two small gripes: If you are on a low floor you might be woken up by the street or the loading dock noise in the morning. Also the coffee and coffee maker in the room is kind of disappointing.

Maple syrup season across southern Ontario

The sap is running after a long, cold winter and predictions are for a great maple syrup season across southern Ontario.
A sure sign of spring is the return of the Mississauga Cottage Life Show. The show, from March 27 to 29 at the city's International Centre, will attract 33,000 cottage doers and dreamers.
If the kids are "bugging" you to take them someplace during March Break, how about BugFeast?
Have you had enough winter this year? Well, it's never enough for visitors to the four-season playground of Muskoka, north of Toronto.

Hey guys, noob here. First off this has to be the best forum on brewing that I've come across. Now for the question, I'm planning to cut a 5gal. extract kit in half and have a 3&1/2gal. bucket (scored from Festival Foods bakery dept.) that I planned to use as my primary. Will that be large enough or should I just go with a 5gal. size one. Thanks.
You should have enough room to make a 2.5 gal batch. Maybe just as a precaution you might want to use a blow off tube but as for the brew it will come out just fine.
the other question would be what kind of beer and what kind of yeast, heavier beers and certain strains of yeast may produce a more robust fermentation with a lot of krausen.
A simple pale ale with lets say safale us-05 for example, fermented in the mid to upper 60% range you'll probably have no problem at all.
A few drops of Fermcap will also keep Krausen at bay and allow a smaller headspace in your fermenter.
Caribou Slobber from Northern Brewer is what I'll be using menerdari, actually I measured out that bucket just now and discovered it holds a little over 4gals. so that should give me plenty of headspace. I'll use a blow off tube as geim32 sugested. Cheers

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - U.S. District Judge Lawrence K. Karlton sentenced John Patrick Frost Jr., 28, of Rocklin, to 10 years in prison, to be followed by a lifetime term of supervised release, for possessing of child pornography, announced United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner, Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Department of Justice Criminal Division, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Herbert M. Brown.
In October 2012, Frost pleaded guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. According to court documents, on March 12, 2009, a photo-sharing website reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Cybertipline that a user had posted child pornography to their page. Further investigation led to a residence in Placer County where Frost spent time. According to the plea agreement, Frost admitted that between March 1, 2009 and August 9, 2009, he knowingly possessed images of child pornography. Frost has two convictions in Placer County in 2003 and 2008 for possession of child pornography.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber Crimes Task Force and the Justice Department's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) High Technology Investigative Unit. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Michelle Prince of the Eastern District of California and Trial Attorney Jeffrey H. Zeeman of the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section.

Please recommend mid-size pink/dark pink old rose look shrub
The most important thing is BS resistance. I'd like a full bloom shape in the mid-pink to dark pink range. Size would be 4-6' range. I was thinking of Darcy Bussell, but I don't have any personal experience with this rose. I'm recommending for a friend that doesn't want to deal with fussy plants, but still has some aesthetic preferences. Trying to prove that you can have the look in roses you like without ending up with high maintenance plant. Thoughts on Darcy B? Other options? Thanks!
I'm not sure why you consider Darcy Bussell to be a mid-pink to dark pink rose. To me it is bright red and DA also refers to it as a red rose.
Bishop's Castle---DA says it is "rose-pink"--to me it is a med. pink, very healthy, big fat blooms.
Boscobel--is a rich salmon pink and healthy. Gorgeous blooms.
England's Rose--is a "deep glowing pink"--and very tough--healthy. A little taller than the previous ones.
Huntington Rose--is deep pink, "particularly tough and healthy"--really big fat blooms! A little taller than the first ones listed here.
Jubilee Celebration--rich salmon pink with touches of gold (lovely blend!), "very healthy." Another slightly taller one. Not that good a grower in my garden, however.
Princess Alexandra of Kent--glowing warm pink, "very healthy"--handsome plant!
Princess Anne--deep pink, "remarkably resistant to disease"--this might be the best choice if you are competing against the disease-resistance of the Knock Outs.
Sir John Betjeman--bright, deep pink, healthy
However, if you consider Darcy Bussell a dark pink rather than red or crimson, it sounds like a good choice--although I've never grown it so can't say from personal experience.
Most of the roses I listed here are about 3 ft tall. If they are taller, I noted that in particular.
Hope that helps.
Here is a link that might be useful: David Austin Search List
Princess Anne might be a good choice if she is as disease resistant as she seems. A bit on the small side though from descriptions. I have PAOK. Love it, but i had some major BS issues for me last summer. It is also a bit upright in structure. Everyone seems to describe Darcey as shrubby which will work better for the site in mind. I'm pretty open to anything on the mid-pink to red spectrum. Just want to stay away from the light pinks. Actually, redder may be better. She'd probably actually like a darker color.
I've seen Noble Anthony growing in an organic zone 5 garden. We have heavy BS pressure around here and the foliage was healthy and clean. I'd judge it to be about 3 1/2' tall and a nice full shrub with flowers held upright. Very fragrant and always in bloom. Redder than pink, very bright and cheerful.
I would recommend Gertrude Jekyll for colder zones. It is very hardy. I don't have too much trouble with blackspot in my no spray zone 5a garden although Lady Emma Hamilton sure gets some. Mary Rose is also good. Rugosa roses such as Pierette Pavement or Foxy Pavement are another alternative. Hardy Buck roses like Earth Song or Country Dancer are also hardy and disease resistant but, like rugosas, do not have old fashioned bloom form. Easy Elegance roses are also disease resistant.
I'm not sure the David Austin's are your best best in zone 5 and certainly not the best for disease resistance in my opinion. My recommendation would be toward some of the Griffith Buck roses instead. He bred many beautiful shrub roses that are very hardy and healthy.
Here is a link that might be useful: Dr. Griffith Buck's roses
'Therese Bugnet' grows to about 6 ft here in zone 3, it's a beautiful very hardy shrub that flowers for most of the season when given good soil and moisture, the spring and early summer flush is amazing! Stems are a nice reddish color and have few thorns and take well to pruning, so plants can easily be kept smaller, though I wouldn't want to be cutting it back overly severe.
This post was edited by twrosz on Sat, Jan 4, 14 at 13:44
I have a Sir Edward Elgar that has done well for me. It gets about 5 to 5-1/2 ft tall, and it reblooms dependably. It is a dark pink color similar to the color of the HT Electron, if you know that one. It is a bright, electric pink. The picture below doesn't quite do it justice, but I think you can get the idea. I'm not sure why this rose doesn't appear more often in catalogues because it does reasonably well, at least here.

Cruising Cuba
We were in Cuba a couple of years ago and found it a wonderful place to sail.
Few of the magizine articles that I have read regarding cruising in Cuba have been accurate or even handed regarding dealing with the officials in Cuba. I was amazed that the Cuban officials were so polite and considerate, given the efforts that our government to ruin their economy. Obey their regulations regarding taking photos of military subjects, etc and keep in mind that they live in a virtual state of siege. They aren''t being paranoid. Our government has sent agents into their country many times to disrupt and sabotoge their economy.
The people there were great. The food and rum excellant. (You will never be satisfied with Baccardi again!) Walking thru Havana one afternoon, we steered around a group of men engaged in a violent discussion in a public park. Fearing that there might be trouble, but curious, we discreetly inquired what was the problem. It turned out to be an argument about American baseball! We felt safer there than in our own hometown. It is quite unlike typical third world countries. Everyone has a job, a place to live, food to eat and an education. Their resorces are scarce, but evenly distributed. The historical district in Havana is crumbling. Heartbeating. But investors from other countries are moving in. While the US is frozen out, our "allies" are developing tourist attractions right next door to us.
It''s a fantastic sailing destination. You will have a great time.

coverting rec room back to garage
So I am thinking of buying this house, which the owners converted the garage to a rec room. I will want to convert it back. The window, trim etc, is put over the existing brick. (the brick was not removed during conversion). The owners built a subfloor inside to bring it to finished floor height. I am not sure what they did with the garage headers as its got drywall for the ceiling.
What kind of cost am I looking at? I am in the Nashville TN area. I figure the door, for a Lowes basic one is $300. Garage door opener, $250. Do the rails come with the door or are those seperate?
I am good at demo, so feel confident I can get the window and wall portion out as well as the subfloor. What am I looking at for the garage door and opener installation?
Here is a link that might be useful: pic
Well, I think your figures on the door are a bit off. A new 2-car wide garage door is going to run $600-800 installed (deduct aprox $200 for do-it-yourself price). And yes, a new door should come with the track, the rollers, springs, etc.
I would recommend you have a contractor give you an estimate on removing the conversion before you make an offer on the house. Some contractors may offer you a free estimate, but if it costs you a couple hundred bucks to find out that the project may put you out several thousand, it's worth the investment IMO.

Enjoy fishing off the pier and a beautiful sunset view. There is a launch on sight so don't forget your boat or jet ski. There is a park with a playground, picnic tables and tennis courts just a bike ride away. The house is just a mile from the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast Beaches. The house sleeps 8, so bring your friends and family.
Keywords: House on the back bay
8 of us stayed here and there was plenty of room. The couch provides plenty of seating, though we didn't stay inside much. The living quarters are upstairs, with great views from the bedrooms and living room. There is a foosball table in a covered area downstairs. There are a few very minor things in the house that could use some minor repairs but nothing that interferes with the stay there. We were a little bummed that the hot tub isn't used in the summer time. We would have liked to have sat in it in the evenings. The dining table only seats 4 but there is another 4 seat table on the porch and we used chairs from that to put around the other table to play games one night. The house is very clean. The back balcony porch is AWESOME!! It is a huge porch with plenty of nice sitting areas and rugs and has a large fan, as well as ceiling fans. Two of the bedrooms have sliding doors that open up to the balcony porch. The pier is well built and we spent a lot of time on it, both day and night. It is literally only 10 steps from the back of the house. Only caught a few fish and accidentally caught an alligator. Got him to the pier, thinking it was a huge fish. Thankfully, he bit the line in two and got away!! There is only one full time resident and that is at the house next door (nice people). If you stay here, go three piers down at night and watch the large gar fish in the two green lights that are under the water. We brought a boat and the bayou is nice for boating. We also enjoyed watching other boats and people skiing. The paddle boat was fun for the kids, as was the kayak that is there. There is a freezer downstairs that you can keep your bait in. There are a couple of radios that can be used. It is more than what is listed in this ad. The yard is well taken care of. Close to everything but you don't know it when you are there...it is VERY peaceful and quiet. Walmart only about 5 minutes away. The beach and restaurants aren't far either. I like the beach but I liked being at this house better. I never actually went to the beach on this trip. Pick this property and you have made a great choice!
We had a really good time at this house. We enjoyed the hot tub and fishing out of the paddle boat. We went down the road and bought some firewood from a man that sells it and built a fire in the fire pit too. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs. It was a lot of fun. There was plenty of room for the seven of us. Can't wait to do it again. What a great week!!!
Love this place!! My wife and I sat on the Veranda overlooking "Back Bay" and witnessing the most beautiful sunrise I have may have ever witnessed. And just then an alligator came around the bend! Having not seen many alligators before it was truly AMAZING! We trailered our boat and were able to launch on the property and visit "Ship Island" . The kids truely enjoyed the paddle boat and fishing off the pier. We will revisit as often as our schedule allows and anytime in between!
We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful house on the water. We had a great time. We can't wait to come back next year. Thanks!!!

I was really excited about this musk. Most of reviews was rapturous so I bought it without any doubt. After the first try I was very disappointed. It did't clean pores at all, furthermore, I got an irritation. Probably the musk is just not my product.

wouldn't mind a bit more of a product, as 59 ml too small tube, lasted me for a month only, it's been 3 month since my last use but cannot remember if i had any good results, means just a regular clay mask
Posted by 5355295422186119873 on Aug 14, 2014
I've only used it twice since I purchased this. The mask dries and tightens around the face. Have not seen any results with minimising pores, but leaves skin feeling nice and clean.
Posted by 5699425959588916357 on Oct 12, 2014
pros : feels good on my face con : my face is big the tube is a bit small, I can't afford to keep it back for weekly use

Capital Culinarian Manual Clean 36" 6 Burner
Hi, new to GW. I'm looking to purchase the Capital Culinarian 36" manual clean 6 burner range through Home Depot Canada (online, only option). Has anyone purchased a Capital range through HD Canada? It's unfortunate (ridiculous) that I cannot see a floor model and can only order online. I'm worried as it seems that servicing could be an issue. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I hope that I get responses telling it like it is and not just a cheerleader for Capital. In addition, I would welcome some updates on anyone that has purchased a Capital range. Thanks.
Check the Appliances forum on GW. You'll need to search for Capital Culinarian. Or just post your query. There are lots of people on this forum who can help.

The Ford Motor Company offers a wide range of affordable cars and trucks, from subcompacts to full-size trucks. Ford is also technology-driven, having developed hybrid powertrains, fuel-saving turbocharged engines and touch-screen multimedia systems. [...]
However, the game-changer was the famous Model T introduced in 1908. In the following years, Ford had pretty much pioneered mass vehicle production with the elaboration of assembly lines. Offered in several body styles, over 15 million copies of the car, nicknamed Tin Lizzie, were produced up until 1927.
The Model A followed, while Ford introduced their first V8 engine in 1932. Deluxe and Super Deluxe models were offered in the 1940s, while the F-Series pickup was introduced in 1948 and still produced today. Classic models such as the Crestline, the Custom, the Fairlane, the Thunderbird, the Ranchero and the Galaxie were introduced in the '50s, alongside the short-lived Edsel and Canadian-exclusive Frontenac.
In the 1960s, the Falcon, LTD, Torino, Bronco and Econoline were added to the line-up, but the arrival of the Mustang pony car in 1964 was the big news back then. The historic GT40 race car was also developed in the '60s, and was a four-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Ford's vehicles were getting larger and larger right up until the gas crisis of the 1970s. Smaller cars like the Maverick, the Pinto, the Granada, the Courier pickup and the Fiesta hatchback were launched. High-performance editions of the Mustang were offered, the Mach 1 and Boss 302. The downsized Mustang II didn't last long, replaced by a new model after only 5 years.
In 1981, Ford served up the Escort, a new compact hatchback that sold in big numbers and from which spawned the 2-seat EXP. The Tempo replaced the Fairmont, the LTD became the Crown Victoria, while the mid-size Taurus, the Mazda-designed but Korean-built Festiva subcompact, the Ranger pickup, the Bronco II sport-utility and Aerostar minivan were launched in the mid-'80s. The Probe sports coupe arrived in 1989.
Later in the '90s, the Festiva retired in favour of the Aspire, while the global-market Contour replaced the Tempo. The sporty Escort ZX2 was also available for a few years. The Explorer arrived in 1991 and quickly became one of America's best-selling trucks. The Windstar minivan also arrived, eventually superseding the Aerostar.
In the 2000s, the fun-to-drive Focus hatchback and wagon arrived, replacing the Escort, and the mid-size Fusion was launched in replacement of the Contour. The Super Duty versions of the F-Series dawned, as well as the Escape compact SUV, the Edge mid-size SUV, the Expedition full-size SUV and the Explorer Sport Trac pickup.
Models that have come and gone during that decade include the Five Hundred sedan, the Freestyle and Taurus X crossovers, the Freestar minivan, the Excursion full-size SUV as well as the mighty GT, inspired by the original and offered in 2005 and 2006. Hybrid powertrains started to appear in Escape and Fusion models.
Today, Ford's line-up consists of the Fiesta subcompact and the Focus compact, both available as a hatchback and a sedan, The Focus Electric, the Fusion and Fusion Hybrid, the full-size Taurus, the Mustang and Shelby GT500, the Escape and Escape Hybrid, the Edge, the Explorer, the Expedition, the Transit Connect cargo van, the E-Series van as well as the F-Series and Super Duty pickups.

Miele S6270 Onyx Canister Vacuum Cleaner with 1200-Watt Vortex Motor System, Super Air Clean Filter, 4.76 Quart HyClean Dustbag, STB205-3 Turbo Comfort Turbo Brush and SBB300-3 Parquet Twister Smooth Floor Tool
Like all products from Miele, Miele canister vacuums are built to a rigorous 20-year life design model... a Miele unique quality standard. In practice, this means that the machine must withstand a 1,000-hour endurance test before production can begin. A number of other critical tests are performed including a threshold test, a cable rewind test and a free fall test to ensure the durability of the machine and its components. All Miele vacuum cleaners - every single one - are tested before leaving the factory to ensure perfection. This steadfast commitment to quality and ultimate customer satisfaction is truly Miele-unique. And Miele offers a 7-year motor warranty.
Warrany and Reliability
* The standard warranty period is 1 year for vacuum parts and labor, and 7 years for motor parts and labor for Miele machines.
* The two fan motor design means that it extends the life of the motor by reducing the wear on the ball bearings and motor brushes.
* Each vacuum has a heat sensor which comes on when there is a clog and therefore prevents the vacuum cleaner from overheating.
* All Miele canisters have a dust bag change indicator to let you when the bag is at full capacity and needs to be changed.
* The amount of testing that Miele does before they release their machines from the factory is without peer in the industry.
Miele introduced world's first HEPA certified vacuum cleaner and developed 12-layer filtration system. Miele has been proven by independent laboratory tests to be over 99.9% effective in capturing and containing pollens, dust mites, pet dander and other irritants known to trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. [HEPA filters are optional for S6 series]
With a self-locking Auto-SealTM collar, the AirClean FilterBago ensures that particulates are never released back into the air once they're captured
Three accessories in convenient VarioClip - natural bristle dusting brush, upholstery nozzle and crevice tool
Suction control via rotary dial with 6 variable power settings
The Miele Turbo Comfort brush has a rotating roller brush that is activated by the air that is drawn through the head to loosen the dirt and collect up any fluff and hair. The buffer strip around the Turbobrush protects furniture from scuffing. It is ideal for cut-pile and gives the carpet an excellent finish.
Enjoy industry leading 7-Year Motor Warranty & 7-Year Casing Warranty
The 12" Parquet Twister rotates 180 o offering exceptionally agile cleaning for all smooth flooring. Horse hair bristles reduce electrostatic forces for long lasting dust removal results.

Texas judge extends Planned Parenthood injunction
However, Perry did say that he would cut off funding to Planned Parenthood immediately, and Planned Parenthood won a temporary order the next day to retain funding. Janek and Perry have both said they will cut the Women's Health Program, which provides services to 110,000 poor women, if a court decided the affiliate rule is illegal and the state must fund Planned Parenthood clinics that do not provide abortions.
Perry said state lawmakers made it clear that they don't want any state funds to reach groups such as Planned Parenthood under any circumstances.
Assistant Solicitor General Kristofer Monson argued that the court should not interpret state law in a way that would interfere with the state executive branch performing its duty to write administrative rules. He also questioned whether the federal decision to cut off funding should be considered a legal ruling.
Planned Parenthood clinics provided services to 50,000 women from 40 health centers under the Women's Health Program. They presented an expert witness on reproductive health, Joseph Potter, who testified that his research shows that other doctors do not have the capacity to take for all of the poor women where Planned Parenthood operates in impoverished areas.
Janek has said his agency has signed up thousands of doctors, but his agency has not tested whether there is enough capacity to absorb all of the women who currently rely on Planned Parenthood for basic health needs.

portable pumps
I need something more than a sump pump size. Something around 3-5 hp. Something similar to this:
I am not familiar with pumps at all. My neighbor has a 5.5hp Honda powered one. Any other options? It would be for occasional use, but I want one that will last, as I know these things are not cheap.
There's a difference between a "trash pump" and a "water transfer pump" so knowing how you intend to use such a pump will dictate the best type of pump for your application. Pumps made by Honda, Yamaha or Kawasaki are all excellent choices. The other issue will be one of size and that will be dictated by how much water needs to be pumped on an hourly basis.
I found the Honda website. It would mainly be for water, i.e. flood water. Everything is completely saturated. The fields around me look like lakes, and have moved into my yard, and drain field. So, one of the uses would be to, and how do I say this carefully "skimming clean, runoff water out of the septic tank." I like the idea of the trash pump, but the $$ is very high. I will look at the Yamaha and Kawasaki.
Thanks for the input.
I also want to know what sites are reliable to purchase from, for example, this one:
Here is a link that might be useful: South West Trading
A knowledgeable dealer is your best bet. If you really want to go to the web you are taking on your own.
Bill, a water transfer pump will work but the abrasives, sand mud etc, will accelerate wear. Trash pumps are pricey but are built to withstand impurities.
I am planning on sticking a sump pump in once it slows down a bit. But to move 1000 gal of water twice a day for a week or so, it seems to me I need a bigger pump.
I think one of Yamahas mentioned being able to take a little sand/silt, just not chunks.
I have a Tractor Supply within 70 miles.
I have been looking at one of these:
Based on the needs you reported, a two inch water pump will work fine. Presumably, you are intending to pump down the second chamber of your tank. Wire or clamp the suction line to a 2x4 so that the inlet sits at least a foot above the floor of the chamber. You can use flat discharge hose to take the water far enough away that it gravity flows in another direction. The flat hose is simple to roll up later on and is far more compact to deal with. You could probably get away with a ten foot suction hose. If you think that you need it to be longer, then buy two ten footers and install cam-lock fittings everywhere to make it easy to hook up and unhook. The two tens are simpler to store also. Make sure you buy some spare gaskets for the cam-lock couplers in case you accidentally lose one.
Thanks. That is kinda what I was looking at. Good idea about the flat hose, cam lock type fittings. The filling of the tank has slowed down, but I can't figure out where all the water is coming from. Hopefully things will dry out "soon."
Picked up a 6 hp (Honda motor) pump at my local NAPA store. The guy was very helpful. Ended up with the 2". I bought 2 sections (35' each) of hose, along with all the quick release type fittings. Not a cheap hobby. Now I have to put it all together, add oil, gas, etc. to the motor.
One more thing to worry about for winter storage!
Thanks for the input.
Outside pumps are rarely a good idea.

Billy Currington, Kacey Musgraves + Many More Round Out 2015 Country Jam Lineup
The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.
The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.
Eli Young Band fans have a lot to look forward to in March.
Eli Young Band are getting serious for their 'Prayer for the Road' video. The clip -- which is debuting exclusively on Taste of Country -- pays powerful tribute to the notion that love truly conquers all.
It's getting closer, folks! The full 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival lineup is now available, and in addition to headliners Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Toby Keith, 14 other acts have been revealed!
Thursday (Sept. 11, 2014) marks the thirteenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- a series of events which forever changed not only America, but the world.
The Eli Young Band are nominated once again for a CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year, a category they've been named in every year since 2012 but have yet to win. But the four-man group says being nominated really is validation enough.
A handful of country's biggest stars will appear on the soon-to-be-released soundtrack for the upcoming Nicholas Sparks film, 'The Best of Me.'
The Eli Young Band have been a solid presence on our airwaves for a few years now, bringing us hit after hit song. They've been to the Missouri State Fairgrounds before on the Pepsi Grandstand, and now they're back for the big Friday show with Jake Owen.
Grammy-nominated country rockers Eli Young Band hit up 'The Late Show With David Letterman' on Tuesday night (July 22), bringing with them their new rising single 'Dust.'
Appropriately, the video for Eli Young Band's single 'Dust' features lots and lots of dust flying around -- as well as fast cars and a beautiful woman. The group just released the clip for their second single from '10,000 Towns.'
