Anatomy Of A Glenn Greenwald Smear Job!
I'm not a huge fan of Glenn Greenwald. There are many reasons why I dislike the man and his writings, but the main ones are his dishonesty and hyperbolic rhetoric. I only read him when I'm tipped off to something particularly crazy.
I'll be honest and say that when he was assaulting the Bush administration, I was cheering him on. But even then, I noticed that Greenwald played loose with the facts and exaggerated things beyond recognition (Warning, right-wing link). So even though it was aimed at Bush, it still left a bad taste in my mouth. Lying and misleading is a Republican thing, but of course, anyone who knows about Greenwald, knows that he is a libertarian (civil, LOL) and doesn't vote.
I was searching Google one day and came across an article in The Nation titled "A Response to Glenn Greenwald", written by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine. Of course, I had to click on it. In recent years, Greenwald has become an example of how — with the growth of the internet — people have been given platforms who don't deserve it and don't have enough integrity to wield such power. Glenn Greenwald has shown time and time again that he is vicious in his attacks on people and uses every sleazy rhetorical technique known to humans to push his narrative. He is completely anti-Obama, anti-government and anti-Democratic Party. He used to be anti-Republican Party during the Bush years and that is when he established some false credibility with the left.
I did a study of his posts on Salon.com for a period of just over a month. What I found was — out of 43 posts, 38 of them were anti-Obama and the remaining 5 were about something non political. There were zero posts that attacked Republicans. ZERO! I guess the GOP hasn't done anything recently that has upset Glenn.
If you want to experience the full impact of Glenn Greenwald's hyperbole and over-the-top rhetoric, I suggest you read things in the order that I did. None of the articles are extremely long, with the exception of Glenn's and his many updates, so it shouldn't take that long. But you can certainly just keep reading here, too.
I first read the response to Glenn Greenwald from Mark Ames and Yasha Levine, the subjects of Glenn's scorn. I then went and read the original piece they had written that upset Greenwald so much. And finally, I read Greenwald's wild-eyed screed, laying into the two people who wrote the offending piece
An America That Cares About All People!
This is a repost from a while back, because the problem hasn't gone away!
The above short film was produced by Unity Productions Foundation in association with Gardner Films, Inc. (www.gardnerfilms.com) and was directed by the Oscar-nominated, multiple Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker, Robert Gardner.
Go to this website — My Fellow American — to get involved and help counter the hatred and gross stereotypes about Muslims that permeate our culture. All people in this country and the world deserve to be treated with the same respect and honor.
Here is a little bit about My Fellow American.
My Fellow American is an online film and social media project that calls upon concerned Americans to pledge and spread a message that Muslims are our fellow Americans. It asks people of other backgrounds to pledge, and share a real life story about a Muslim friend, neighbor, or colleague that they admire. Using the power of social media, My Fellow American seeks to change the narrative – from Muslims as the other, to Muslims as our fellow Americans.
Most Americans have never met an American Muslim. Many only know Muslims through the way they are portrayed in the media. American Muslims are so often vilified as "the other" that it is possible not to recognize that most were born in the U.S. Or that those who immigrated here came seeking the same freedoms and opportunities that have always attracted people to America.
Please share this post with your friends and family. If we all do a little, a lot will get done. If we all do a lot, the world will change!

Don't Kill Another Innocent Man – Troy Davis given execution date!
by Emily Hauser
Troy Davis, the death row inmate about whom I wrote last week, has been given an execution date of September 21.
I repeat: Mr. Davis is almost certainly innocent of the crime for which the state of Georgia wants to kill him.
There is no physical evidence connecting him to the crime, seven out of the nine eyewitnesses have recanted, stating that they had been pressured, coerced or frightened into testifying, and jury members have said flat out: "If I knew then what I know now, Troy Davis would not be on death row."
The police officer that Mr. Davis was convicted of murdering deserves that justice be done — but killing a man who had nothing to do with Officer MacPhail's death will only compound the injustice horribly.
Please, please:
- If you haven't signed the Amnesty petition yet, please do so by clicking here.
- If you are a member of the legal profession or clergy, please join the sign-on letters being circulated in support of Mr. Davis's request for clemency. Legal professionals click here; clergy, click here.
- Write a letter to Georgia Governor Nathan Deal (address and sample letter below): In this case, it will be important not to state your conviction that Mr. Davis is innocent, but that there are too many doubts to move forward with the execution. In the words of a Georgia law professor: "A verdict that is not ironclad is not good enough to support the death penalty."
- Write a letter to Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles (address and sample letter below): Here again, it is important to focus on the holes in the case — the fact that anything less than an ironclad verdict cannot be the basis for the death penalty.
- Watch the following video, regarding clemency for Troy, and pass it on– "The State of Georgia does not have to execute Troy Davis and it should not execute Troy Davis," in the words of Prof Russell Covey, Criminal Law Expert, Georgia State University. "There is one fail-safe built into the system that still exists, and that's the clemency process."
- ASK OTHERS TO DO LIKEWISE, particularly citizens of Georgia. Send a link to this post, or to any of the above information, and ask your friends and loved ones to take action. Twitter and Facebook are great ways to spread news far and wide — if you are on either, please use them in support of Troy.
There is no other way to put this: There is a very real possibility that Troy Davis will be dead before the month is out, killed for a crime that he didn't commit. Please do whatever you can to save his life.
New Poll Shows A Surge For President Obama!
It was a poll of all my friends and family and in my mind, has just as much validity as any of the major news organizations and their latest sampling of 700 – 1000 people. As anyone who knows me will tell you, I'm not a reactionary person for the most part. I'm usually the one urging calmness in the face of hysteria and stepping back to look at the big picture. Well here I go again.
To me the biggest story from the weekend was the former Republican staffer who retired from the GOP and wrote a blistering piece about the lunacy in the Republican Party. It was all over the left blogosphere and Twitter. A lot of truth in the piece, along with a lot of bullshit about the Democratic party too, remember, he was a loyal Republican so we have to take what he says about Democrats with a grain of salt.
I haven't been watching the cable meme generators lately, but I don't imagine that was the big story as far as they were concerned. I noticed the Twitter banter this morning that showed that the latest polls are what is generating the meme today. I've noticed recently that whenever there is a story that is negative to the Republicans or positive to the President, a new poll emerges and the subject is changed pretty quickly. Coincidence, or maybe just too many damn polls for lazy journalists to fall back on. The process is so much easier to cover than say, actual issues.
Knowing a little bit about election polling and having tracked them for several decades, I'm not getting myself worked up over the latest polls or any future ones for that matter. Maybe when we get close to the election, when the electorate is actually thinking about the election, then maybe I'll go over to Nate Silver's blog and see what the numbers say. But until then, you all keep chasing your tails, I have better things to do with my time.
The last thing I'll say about polls in this post is that the media just loves to pin the entire right track/wrong track number on the sitting president. I think that is bullshit, especially in the partisan times we are living in. The scorched earth politics from the right and even some on the left these days, may turn everyone off to politics and bring everyone's poll numbers down. After all, that's what scorched earth politics is all about. But when it comes time for people to pull a lever for who they want to represent them, there won't be an option labeled "they all suck" and I'm confident President Obama and the Democrats will come out on top — because the craziness from the right doesn't seem to be letting up. Yeeeee hawwwwww!
And Now For Something Completely Different – Looking For An Argument?
I was busy this week and only had enough time to pop in and out of social media on occasion. I didn't participate much and it was interesting to just observe. Some of the stuff was just crazy — the political discourse in this country has sunk to a level where normally intelligent people actually typed screeds about "caving" on the scheduling of a speech. Seriously, I had to step back and wonder, do they want a fucking father figure or a president. Do they want their daddy to beat up the neighborhood bully. I thought about the Monty Python clip below when I was about to send a series of Tweets that said something like..He didn't "cave", how can you cave on scheduling a speech. There is nothing to cave in to, there are no consequences to the action. It's just a non issue used to spread the "weak meme" that the Professional Left is pushing.
But then I read at The People's View that 71% people in a Pew poll think the President "Stands up for what he believes in"! Those are amazing numbers. Hey Professional Left…Suck It! How does it feel to know that 71% of the American people think you are talking shit and the other 29%, that you are standing with, are the fucking Tea Party and the racists? Ha!
And now for Monty Python…

Habeas Petition by Military Prisoner
As the court wrote: "Rochester Thomas, a military prisoner, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, which the district court dismissed. Thomas then voluntarily abated his appeal in this court to petition a military court to consider his claims of ineffective appellate counsel. The military court summarily denied Thomas's petition and, on remand, the district court again dismissed Thomas's habeas petition."

Top 10: Things Women Want
Your Ultimate List Of The Ten Things Women Want From All Of Us
Follow AskMen on Twitter.Men are pretty simple creatures, really. If a woman is attractive, we want to meet her. If she turns out to be interesting, intelligent or funny, we want to get to know her better.
Women, by contrast, are a little more complicated. The things women want are often like grocery lists of prioritized criteria that they use to determine whether or not a guy is datable. And female criteria are significantly more nuanced than the monosyllabic qualities men tend to look for: "nice," "hot" and "smart."
Recognizing that some guys could use some help understanding the female wish list, we've put together this list of the top 10 things women want.

text: By Linda Ocasio The annual celebration of Hispanic heritage has come to a close, but this year the events might as well have been on another planet. There's been little sign of greater understanding of Spanish-speaking people and their cultures by those who most need to get the message. Our American heritage of diversity is being swamped by a tidal wave of ignorance and hate. Nearly 47 million Americans claim Hispanic roots; Mexicans are the largest group of lawful immigrants — as well as the largest group of those here illegally. But new laws and proposals blur distinctions between the two groups, chipping away at rights both have taken for granted. The U.S. Justice Department is challenging key parts of Arizona's new law that allows local police to check the status of people stopped for other reasons if they're suspected of being in the country illegally, and requiring all immigrants to carry their papers. But that hasn't stopped other states, like Utah and Nebraska, from following Arizona's lead. Having your papers in order doesn't mean you're home free. Virginia passed a law forbidding legal immigrants — people authorized to live and work in the state — from obtaining a driver's license. Here in New Jersey, Seton Hall Law School is suing the state human services agency for denying Medicaid to lawful permanent residents. The cumulative effect is a hostile environment for Spanish-speaking people. Reports have come in from around the country about assaults on immigrants, but examples close to home are not hard to find: a Guatemalan immigrant killed in Plainfield; an Ecuadoran man in Long Island killed by teens looking to get some "Mexicans;" in Brooklyn, two Ecuadoran brothers walking arm and arm, assaulted by men yelling anti-gay and anti-Hispanic slurs; one of the brothers was killed. Hope for reform has dimmed as promoters of bipartisan legislation executed 180-degree turns. Sen. John McCain, once at the forefront for sensible reform, changed his mind in the face of a tough election. Imagine if Sen. Ted Kennedy decided to oppose health care reform to hang on to his senate seat. On the other hand, who wouldn't do a double-take to see Rupert Murdoch, owner of the New York Post and Fox News, speak in support of immigration reform at a congressional hearing in September? His appearance prompted U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, the California Democrat, to ask why his news empire didn't reflect his nuanced position on immigration. Murdoch responded that his media properties are "not consistently" anti-immigrant. Gee, thanks Ruperto. On one level, it's easy to understand why people have focused on illegal immigrants. The Great Recession has angered and confused many: Over 14 million people are unemployed. Credit default swaps and market behavior may be hard to grasp, but not the influx of illegal immigrants in search of jobs. Never mind the jobs they take require long hours, pay less than the minimum wage, and workers risk never being paid at all. Juan Cartagena, a Jersey City lawyer who served on Gov. Jon Corzine's immigration commission, sees the larger historical pattern. "Immigration policies are set up at a time of economic stress," he said. "It happened in the 1920s, when there were quotas based on preferences from North Europe, and it happened in the 1980s, when S.I. Hayakawa, a U.S. senator, proposed English as the official language. It's part of this notion that immigration is out of hand, and the tide has to be stopped." At the heart of it is the fear of "the loss of who we are as a people and a country." Those kinds of fears indicate a kind of national amnesia about how this country evolved. And it might just mean that in addition to Hispanic heritage, we need a month to get back in touch with our true American heritage as well.

Music dean, faculty, students travel to Lawrence's sister city for performance, exchange
Five graduate students traveled with the dean of the School of Music and the director of KUs symphony orchestra to perform in Eutin, Germany, one of Lawrences sister cities.
The Jan. 15 concert featured Robert Walzel, dean of music, on clarinet; David Neely, symphony orchestra director, on piano; and students Lukasz Lagun, violin; Robert McNichols Jr., bass baritone; Hugo Alberto Vera, tenor; Amy Elizabeth Cahill, soprano; and Kristian Bucy, soprano.
The group performed opera arias, chamber music pieces, American musical numbers, solo works and popular songs by such composers as Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, Johann Strauss, George Gershwin and Astor Piazzolla. They also performed one work by Carl Maria von Weber, a native of Eutin, to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the composers birth.
The concert provided an opportunity for the Eutin community to learn about KUs music program. The city commission will consider a plan developed by Hans Wilhelm Hagen of Rotary Eutin and the Eutin Trade Association to involve KU in performances during Eutins summer festival season.
KU and Eutin have partnered before. The two cities have shared numerous musical programs and art exhibitions over the past 20 years. In the past two years, the Lawrence group Friends of Eutin has worked closely with Hagen to expand the internship exchanges, part of the sister-city program that started in 1990.
The numbers of interns has increased dramatically since that time, said Frank Baron, professor of Germanic languages and literatures at KU and a member of Friends of Eutin.
In summer 2010, 10 interns from Lawrence worked in Eutin; Lawrence hosted three. For 2011, Eutin will send at least four interns to Lawrence. A committee from KUs German Department has interviewed and recommended 13 applicants for Eutin.

The Hahnenkamm is said to be the toughest event in the World Cup.
Gordon "Mouse" Cleaver, who later became a decorated pilot in World War II, was the 1931 champion at Kitzbuhel, the Telegraph reports. This year, to mark the 75th anniversary of his skiing triumph and of the Hahnenkamm, the top British skier will win the Cleaver Cup.
Cleaver and other upper class Britons who became interested in alpine skiing in the 1930s helped to make the sport popular. He convinced Austrians that the British must have an over-supply of brilliant skiers since he was not even on the national team.
During World War II, Cleaver, who died in 1994, was seriously wounded when his plane was shot down. One of his competitors in 1931 was Roger Bushell, later a World War II pilot who became the model for Roger Bartlett, the escape organizer played by Richard Attenborough in the movie "The Great Escape."

F-5 FABRICATIONS 2011 Indian Wells, California STATUS: Completed
THE WOMB DOG HOUSE 2006 Palm Springs, California STATUS: Completed Our Firms work strives to adapt and reinterpret existing methods of building and architecture. We begin each project by exploring various factors including: the client, program, space, light, native materials, site orientation, budget, etc. We knew that by beginning to rethink the very nature of a "Shelter for a Dog" (the client), and by examining the overall forms of dogs at rest we would arrive at some new destination. Our concept began with the exploration of three very basic principles involving dogs use of its shelter: 1. A dogs desire to feel embraced and comfortable while at rest 2. A dogs natural tendency to sleep and rest in the fetal position 3. The need for shelter from the elements (particularly sun) The function of the "Doghouse" remains unchanged though the exploration of form takes on new meaning. The final product provides a warm embrace for the occupant while persuading he/she into its natural fetal position through the inner, concave shape of the hull. Shelter from the harsh desert sun is provided by the natural lattice work of the birch stripping to the shell. View for the occupant is provided primarily through the front and rear though screened views in all directions are achieved to satisfy the occupants natural desire to remain aware of its outer surroundings at all times. Featured in Palm Springs Life Magazine and other regional press.

CAHUILLA ROAD 2009 Palm Springs, California PROGRAM: Private Residence STATUS: Completed A new residence and casita, where the main house is an updated redesign of the classic Palm Springs Alexander modern home. The guest casita respects the main house yet moves forward in materials, form, and quality of space and light. The guest casita opens onto its own deck which wraps toward the pool, establishing diverse exterior space and implied privacy. Combined with the main homes use of sliding doors and floor to ceiling windows to connect the indoors and outdoors, there is a comprehensive use of the yards as extensions of the home, creating a useful area much greater and more comfortable than the modest building footprint. Landscape is a range of native and drought-tolerant plantings, reinforcing the variety of places, uses and views throughout the property.

MIRALESTE 2012 Palm Springs, California PROGRAM: Private Residence STATUS: Design Lofted above an undulating landscape, Miraleste strives to only faintly touch the rolling hills on which it resides. By suspending the floor planes and roof lines, the residence appears to be floating whereas the structural masonry walls from which they are suspended, delve into the earth. The residence has minimal physical interaction with its environment however; it does solicit the landscape through the entry sequence and by framing the surrounding mountain views. The entry sequence features a corridor that is composed of three layers of materials that peel away from the rest of the form: wood, concrete block, and glazing. This curvilinear form not only directs circulation and draws the occupant into the main area of the home but, it also optimizes views from both sides of the corridor. Evenly spaced wooden louvers and cut outs in the masonry wall help to further frame these views as one passes through. Finally, the owners expressed the need for simple, white walls to create an intimate gallery feel throughout the residence for their art collection.
VINE STREET 2011 Palm Springs, California PROGRAM: Private Residence SIZE: 5,300 sf STATUS: Completed
COYOTE HEIGHTS 2008 Palm Desert, California PROGRAM: Private Residence SIZE: 4,000 sf STATUS: Design A new custom hillside residence, 4,000 sf of light and natural materials, well shaded and open to generous dramatic views.

It is a 4,700 sf. vacation home for a husband and wife who desire a property where social recreation and gatherings are the priority. In response, Studio AR + D developed a scheme based on a dual-zoned, public and private residence with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living. In order to fully engage the entertainment spaces of the program, the plan utilizes a sequence of volumes that rises and falls like the mountain range that forms the back-drop of this project. The change in volume guides the occupants throughout the residence. In order to draw attention to arrival and communal spaces, high, clerestory windows that exhibit slices of glazing, frame the sky causing the colors of the sunset to bleed into the expansive rooms. The main living area extends itself into the surrounding landscape, by capturing and defining views of the San Jacinto Mountain to the West and the Santa Rosa Mountain to the South. This indoor/outdoor living strategy promotes a flowing site line that connects property and residence. Studio AR + D activated the circulation of this area through materials that flow from the interior to the exterior and out into the landscape, like polished concrete floors that originate in the main indoor living area and go on to wrap around the pool. While still connected to the outdoors with access to private gardens, the spaces feature a more humble ceiling height and reserved rooms, insinuating intimate and ancillary spaces. The visceral volume of these private spaces contrasts with the expanding volumes of the public spaces, informing the occupant of the spaces intended use. Desert Lily is fully engaged in its landscape providing the perfect opportunity to entertain guests as well as creating private moments for retreat and solitude.
SCHNABEL FAMILY RETREAT 2013 Palm Springs, California PROGRAM: Private Residence SIZE: 5,300sf STATUS: Under Construction The Little Tuscany residence is centered on the idea of bringing family together. The young family of five emphasized their desire to create a home that was meant to be enjoyed by extended family and friends now, and for generations to come. As a result, a dynamic design swept the site leaving the family with a lively vacation home that is underscored by the various nodes of activity. Fading into the rolling hillside landscape, this retreat absorbs the 360 degrees of captivating mountain, city and valley views. The project becomes fully engrained in these views when the warm colors of the deserts minerals seem to ignite the corten steel cladding which burns a deep red and orange. Roof gardens allow the home to blend seamlessly with landscape and the guest house dissolves into the sloping landscape in order to optimize mountain views while still maintaining a visual connection to the outdoor play areas. Transparency throughout the property was an integral part of the design for the home owners. The goal of the plan and the form was to connect the interior to the exterior in order to create a transparency between the terrain and the architecture. The plan had to be transparent in order to connect views from multiple areas of the 4,700 sf. household. A sense of privacy and security was maintained in certain areas through the activation of landscape barriers such as boulders, bedrock, and elevation and grade changes. With these design moves, it is apparent that the landscape was the driving force between every move made in the plan.

F-5 RESIDENCE 2011 Indian Wells, California PROGRAM: Private Residence SIZE: 5,800 sf STATUS: Completed Located in Indian Wells, California, the 5,300 sq. ft. F-5 Residence is set on a relatively flat, valley site with expansive mountain views. The one-story home maximizes the available land and creates a constant connection between the homes interior and the landscape. The material palette includes board-formed concrete, corten steel, and Ipe wood siding. Landscape is a range of native and drought-tolerant plantings, composed into reflective foreground spaces before the views to the nearby foothills and Mount Indio beyond. The yucca, cactus, palms, and boulders in the outdoor living spaces generate a contemplative, sculptural yet habitable poetry.
SAGEBRUSH RESIDENCE 2009 Palm Springs, California PROGRAM: Private Residence SIZE: 2,100 s.f. STATUS: Completed New 2,100 sf residence on infill lot in view-dominated Palm Springs neighborhood, this home takes cues from classic modern homes of the area, brought to a new, more sustainable and livable quality. The house and guest house are bright, casual and comfortable and both celebrate their space and connection to the landscape, both immediately outside and beyond. Exterior spaces and landscaping throughout the 8th-acre parcel were carefully detailed to create a range of spatial conditions-outdoor spaces as much rooms as those indoors, yet interconnected, flowing, and informal.

JEFFERSON CITY — It's illegal, but it happens: People jump into rivers and lakes, blindly stick their hands into logs or dark holes and pull out big fish by their mouths.
The practice is called "noodling," and the Missouri Senate gave initial approval Wednesday to a bill that would legalize it in a limited form by allowing hand fishing for catfish and carp during June and July.
Senators advanced the measure on a voice vote after a half-joking debate in which urban lawmakers expressed disbelief at the practice and noted the state Conservation Department opposes the bill. The legislation needs another Senate vote to move to the House.
In the past five years, 126 people have been convicted for illegal hand fishing, receiving an average fine of $120, according to the Conservation Department, which sets hunting and fishing seasons and enforces wildlife regulations.
But sponsoring Sen. John Cauthorn, R-Mexico, said some rural residents want to legally enjoy the sport, which he claims dates to early American Indian tribes.
Sen. Dan Clemens, R-Marshfield, acknowledged hand fishing as a child — a skill he learned from an elderly neighbor much to the shock of his family.
"For me to oppose your bill, given what I used to do, would be absolutely hypocritical," Clemens told Cauthorn during Senate debate. "I have a bunch of neighbors who also do this with catfish. One almost drowned when he got hung up in a catfish's mouth in a log in the Gasconade River."
Catfish are a common target of hand fishers, because the female fish often camp out under logs or in riverbed holes while protecting their nest of eggs, said Larry Yamnitz, who trains game wardens for the Conservation Department.
The risk of hand fishing is the uncertainty of what lurks in the holes. It could be a fish, but it could also be an otter, beaver, muskrat or snapping turtle, Yamnitz said. And big catfish also can severely injure a person's fingers, hand or arm.
Several city-dwelling senators seemed taken aback by the whole picture.
"I'm not sure why anybody would do this without being pretty relaxed," said Sen. Joan Bray, D-St. Louis, implying that the good judgment of a person fishing by hand may be clouded by alcoholic intoxication.
The Conservation Department raised seven concerns about the bill.
Chief among them was the fear that, due to channelization or damaged habitat, it would be easy for hand fishers to identify places were big catfish could hide. They could deplete the population of 15- to 20-pound flathead catfish and decrease the trophy fish available for those using traditional hooks and lines, said Mike Kruse, the fisheries program supervisor for the Conservation Department.
Cauthorn said those concerns were unwarranted, claiming water habitat was in fine shape and there were plenty of catfish to meet the demand of the limited number of people who fish by hand.
Yamnitz said some hand fishers set traps for catfish by submerging boxes in the water. Several years ago, conservation agents hauled a tractor-trailer load of such traps out of Pomme de Terre Lake, he said.
Other popular hand fishing spots include the Lake of the Ozarks, Stockton Lake and the Gasconade, Grand, Osage and Salt rivers, he said.

No, like an array element ($array[$n]) the accessor of a hash element ($hash{'foo'}) is also an lvalue (basically you can assign a value to it). This method of accessing or modifying one value at a time doesn't affect the rest of the hash. Only when you say %hash are you definitely effecting the entire hash.

Get the Best Priced Eagle Heater Hose

Eagle Replacement Heater Hoses
Once in a while you need to buy a Heater Hose for safe driving or performance reasons, or it could be that it's just something that's fun; regardless, buy the highest level of quality you're able to afford. With mileage, even the most well-protected cars will need maintenance cycles or new replacement parts. If your vehicle needs repair, the sensible solution is getting a new top-notch replacement component to preserve your car or truck in perfect shape.
Sometimes the hardest aspect about doing work on that car or truck is the search for a reasonable source for outstanding parts. A premium performance Heater Hose is not expensive and will help in keeping your engine working at peak performance. In the case that your vehicle's Heater Hose succumbs to long-term heat and wear, a leak will cause a loss-of-coolant and the engine may overheat.
The daily drivability and level of engineering that come with a high-quality vehicle are excellent reasons for always acquiring replacement and aftermarket systems with equal level of value; such parts don't have to break the bank. Eagle builds popular cars, and they are regularly driven on the American highway. An Eagle has a reputation as a well-made car but over time even the most solid cars and trucks will need periodic maintenance or new aftermarket or OEM parts. Once you chose your Eagle, you had an investment that could be with you for the long haul, so protect that choice by using the finest parts.
I placed two sseperate orders on different days and both were waiting at home for me less than 24 hours after placing the order. And that was with their UPS ground shipping. I ordered trunk struts and the ones they shipped were original equipment parts from Mercedes Benz. The cabin filter I ordered was aftermarket but very good quality at less than half the cost that I was seeing elsewhere. I am very happy with Parts Geek and will use them again. I even recommended them to my boss who has also bought parts for his car which is the same model Mercedes as mine.
Got the part I needed for a reasonable price. It arrived in a few days; it worked; and now my car is fixed. What more could I want? I'm jumping for joy, and will definitely be back in the future.

Wizard and Witch Costumes: Witches' Hats
Even if you forgo the costume, don a tall, pointy hat for instant holiday spirit. To make the cone: Measure the circumference of your wearer's head.

Subscribe to Martha Stewart Livingadvertisement
- Paper
- Scissors
- Double-sided tape
Step 1
Make a paper compass 17 inches long. Pin compass to hat paper (point A). Punch a hole in compass 15 inches from pin (point B) to guide your pencil point. Use compass to draw a quarter to a half circle; the resulting arc should measure the same as the circumference of the head. If making a brimmed hat, punch another hole in paper compass 1/2 inch beyond point B to make point C, and draw another curved line beyond the existing arc; this will create a tab for attaching brim. Draw two straight lines from point A to ends of arc or arcs. Also draw a 1/2 inch tab along one straight side.
Step 2
Cut out hat. If adding brim, cut slits about 1 inch apart along length of curved tab. Bend each resulting flap slightly upward. Apply double-sided tape to straight tab. Roll hat into a cone; join sides, making sure they line up.
Step 3
To make a brim, first measure the diameter of the bottom of the cone; divide this number by 2 to get the radius. Add 1/2 inch to radius and mark that length on paper compass (point A to point B). On hat paper, draw a circle using radius. From same center point, draw a larger circle 3 inches outside the smaller circle (point C). Cut out the resulting doughnut shape, cutting straight through brim to get to the center circle.
Step 4
To attach the brim: Affix small pieces of double-sided tape to tops of each flap on the cone. Wind brim around cone, pressing onto tape one flap at a time. Overlap any extra brim, trimming excess, and secure seam with double-sided tape.

Hi, Thanks for posting this as it gives us plenty of time to prepare for Halloween! Always a big event in our house with 3 kids to entertain! Being turned into a witch is always a favorite with our girls and this looks like an easy enough task.
ShawnRUSS 30 Aug, 2013
I've found that the main thing with kids hats is to make sure the material you use is really strong as otherwise they don't last 5 minutes. Secure it with a broad strip of elastic under the chin, as this is less likely to cut into their skin, and staple
Maggie126 3 Oct, 2012
Foiled at step 1. What is a paper compass? And where is Point A on the hat paper? Actually, what is the hat paper? Sigh!
camille10 28 Aug, 2010
I love these hats! The only problem is that I never paid much attention in math class, therefore using the compass and following these instructions is turning out to be daunting. I will get some help though! thanks for the project :)

The Road(2009)An ailing father and his son travel toward the sea in a post-apocalyptic United States. As they evade cannibalistic gangs and fight to survive the unforgiving elements, the father tries to protect his son, teach him right from wrong, and preserve a sense of hope. For more about The Road and the The Road Blu-ray release, see the The Road Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on May 30, 2010 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: John Hillcoat Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Molly Parker, Michael K. Williams » See full cast & crew The Road Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Road travels onto Blu-ray with a 1080p, 2.35:1-framed transfer that's, frankly, a bit hard to judge. Thick halos are visible in some shots; for instance, a cluster of dead trees that are seen during the film's opening voiceover look like they're glowing, and the effect remains here and there throughout the movie. Otherwise, Sony's high definition transfer is a thing of wonder in every other area. In the few bright and colorful scenes that open the film, viewers will marvel at the intricate detail on delicate flowers and roughly-textured brick walls, and while the picture immediately shifts to a rotten, gray, dead visual tone thereafter, the transfer marvelously captures every nuance amidst the deliberately weathered and worn visuals. Details are readily visible even under these conditions, whether the scuffs on a well-worn pistol, the texture of a stuffed animal, frays in tattered clothing, scraggly facial hairs, and even pores and wrinkles underneath untold amounts of caked-on dirt and grime; Sony's 1080p transfer delivers an extraordinary amount of information even through the deliberately lifeless visual scheme. The color palette is limited at best; grays, blacks, and browns dominate the transfer, and even brighter objects -- a dusty red can of Coke -- appears terribly faded but intentionally so. Through all of this, black levels amaze. In several scenes they might absorb some of the finer details, but in a picture that's overwhelmingly dark and harsh, there's little room to complain. Flesh tones reflect the dusty and worn look the picture employs. The print is free of unwanted dirt and debris, and it's coated with a light sprinkling of grain. The Road's visual tone and Blu-ray presentation is reflective of the film: this is an ugly picture, but it's also, for the most part, lovingly reproduced on Blu-ray. The apparent edge enhancement is cause for concern, but it's the only real problem in an otherwise spectacular release from Sony. The Road Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe Road winds onto Blu-ray with a high quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack that does well to aurally place the listener in the midst of the decayed and unwelcoming world the film creates. There's no shortage of surround activity; rain falls about the listening area in several scenes, crackling fire engulfs the soundstage in another, gusting winds blow through the speakers, and imaging across both the front and the back is splendid, with sounds placed just so but also traversing the listening area with ease. The track captures the entire gambit of sound, from the smallest of atmospheric nuances to the rumbles of an earthquake, the latter delivering a potent amount of bass that's tight and aggressive but not mushy or undefined. For the track's several more powerful and pronounced moments, there are many more that are quiet, contemplative, and reflective of the lifeless atmosphere. Like the video quality, the sound design often creates an absence of information to further reinforce the death and destruction that has left but a shell of a world once full of sound and life. Dialogue, too, can be sharp or subdued, with a few quieter lines a bit hard to hear, even at reference volume. Overall, there's little room for complaint; Sony's has once again delivered a wonderful lossless soundtrack that suits the movie well.
