Kaine was the 70th Governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010. He is a member of and the current chairman of the Democratic Party. He is married to former Richmond Juvenile Court Judge Anne Holton, the daughter of A. Linwood Holton Jr., a former Virginia Governor. Kaine and Holton have three children. Following Thomas Jefferson's son-in-law Thomas Mann Randolph Jr., Kaine is the second son-in-law of a Virginia Governor to become governor in his own right. Following his handling in the aftermath of the Virginia Tech Massacre, in May 2007, he was currently the most popular governor in the nation with a 69% approval rating, as well as being one of the most popular Virginia governors in recent history.
After serving his time as Governor, Kaine served as Chair of the Democratic National Committee. In April of 2011, he announced his candidacy to represent Virginia in the Senate in 2012.
Committee Assignments
U.S. Senate
Kaine serves on the following Senate committees[2]:
- United States Senate Committee on Armed Services
- Subcommittee on SeaPower
- Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support
- Subcommittee on Personnel
- United States Senate Committee on Budget
- United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
- The Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps and Global Narcotics Affairs
- The Subcommittee on International Operations and Organizations, Human Rights, Democracy and Global Women's Issues
- The Subcommittee on International Development and Foreign Assistance, Economic Affairs and International Environmental Protection, and Peace Corps Chair
Campaign themes
According to Kaine's website, some of his campaign themes included:
- Economy: "Small businesses and their owners remain the innovators and backbone of our economy...find ways to support the entrepreneurs and risk takers."
- Energy: "America's long-term goal should be to expand the use of low-polluting forms of energy."
- Healthcare: "I support the Affordable Care Act as a first step to put patients in charge of their health care decisions and put the brakes on runaway health care costs that were crippling patients and businesses."[3]
Kaine ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. Senate, representing Virginia.[4] He ran unopposed in the Democratic primary and defeated George Allen (R) in the general election.[1]
The University of Virginia's Center for Politics published an article called Sabato's Crystal Ball on March 22, 2012 detailing the 8 races in the Senate in 2012 that would decide the political fate of which party will end up with control in 2013.[5] The seat, rated a toss-up, was one that Sabato's Crystal Ball believed was most likely to depend on the outcome of the Presidential election in November is the Senate seat in Virginia.[5] According to the article, "outcome of this race will largely be determined by which party claims Virginia's 13 electoral votes in November."[5]

Education and early career
Kaine was born in St. Paul, Minnesota to Mary Kathleen Burns and Albert A. Kaine, a worker and welder. Kaine grew up in the Kansas City area and graduated from Rockhurst High School, the University of Missouri–Columbia and Harvard Law School, taking a year-long absence during law school to work with Catholic missionaries in Honduras. Following a career as an attorney in private practice, Kaine was elected to the city council of Richmond, Virginia. He would later be elected mayor of Richmond by the city council, which until 2004 chose the mayor from among its membership. He spent a total of seven years on the city council, including his time as mayor. As mayor, Kaine was credited with helping to create the gun law Project Exile.
Lieutenant Governor
In 2001, Kaine was elected Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, serving under Governor Mark Warner. Garnering 50% of the vote, he defeated Republican Jay Katzen (with 48% of the vote). He was inaugurated on January 12 2002. As Lieutenant Governor, he served as President of the Senate of Virginia.
2005 Virginia election
In 2005, Kaine ran for and won the seat of Governor of Virginia in the November general election, defeating Republican former Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore by a margin of 52% to 46%; Republican State Senator Russ Potts, who ran as an independent and was considered a long shot, received 2% of the vote. Kaine has said he will look to retain Warner's tax and educational policies, and keep the budget balanced, and soon launched a statewide series of town halls focused on transportation.
An underdog for most of the race, Kaine overtook Kilgore in some polls for the first time in October 2005, and held his lead into the final week before the election, despite a notable barrage of negative advertising against him by the Kilgore campaign. While the previous Democratic Governor, Mark Warner was credited with doing especially well for a Democrat in rural areas of the commonwealth, Kaine's win featured surprising triumphs in traditionally Republican exurbs like Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Prince William County and Loudoun County in Northern Virginia as well as impressive showings in Democratic strongholds like Richmond and Norfolk.
Kaine closely associated himself with popular outgoing Democratic Governor Mark Warner during his campaign, and won his race by a slightly larger margin than Warner. He promised homeowner tax relief, and centrist fiscal leadership but also proposed a large-budget program guaranteeing pre-kindergarten education for any family that wants it. A number of factors, from the sagging poll numbers of President George W. Bush to a public disgust over the death penalty ads run by Kilgore, have also been cited as key to his decisive win. Kaine was inaugurated in Williamsburg on January 14 2006. This makes Kaine the first Governor since Thomas Jefferson (in 1779) to be inaugurated in Virginia's colonial capital. Virginia's Capitol in Richmond is under renovation, which is expected to be completed in 2007.
Kaine supports smart growth, which proponents say concentrates economic growth. Critics argue it will make the reduction of urban sprawl and highway traffic a priority over economic growth.
Governor of Virginia
As Governor, he was a member of the National Governors Association, the Southern Governors' Association, and the Democratic Governors Association. On January 31, 2006, he gave the Democratic response to President Bush's 2006 State of the Union address. In Democratic response to his response, he decried the Republicans' lack of bipartisanship in Washington, and proclaimed, "There is a better way." He condemned Bush's spending and tax cuts as "reckless."
Despite his personal opposition to capital punishment, he has so far overseen three executions as governor as of August 2006. He has, however, spoken in favor of declaring a moratorium on the death penalty "until it's fair."
In March of 2006, after the General Assembly failed to create a budget, Governor Kaine called for a special session that didn't end until June. The debate was over Transportation issues and how to fund current and new projects. Most of the debate came from a battle within the Republican controlled Senate and House of Delegates. In 2007, Kaine signed into law a transportation funding and planning plan designed and shepherded through the General Assembly by the Republican Speaker of the House, William Howell.
On May 23, 2007, the Roanoke Times and other Virginia newspapers reported that the Kaine Administration ran a $300 million budget deficit. Kaine reportedly instructed agency heads to reduce spending.
In June 2006, Kaine signed an executive order banning smoking in all government buildings and state-owned cars. He also announced that Virginia will be the first state in the Union to digitize records from the Civil War Era Freedman's Bureau. This will open up research in African-American history after the Civil War.
In the 2006 elections, Kaine supported Democratic Senate Candidate Jim Webb. Kaine also opposed an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that would define marriage as that between one man and one woman, though he has publicly stated that he personally opposes same-sex marriage.
Kaine endorsed, and strongly supported, the 2008 presidential campaign of Democratic U.S. Senator Barack Obama.
Kaine has given his support for the mandatory vaccinating of 6th grade girls in Virginia with the HPV vaccine and has recently signed a bill to that effect. He has dismissed all criticism, saying that the bill should resolve all of the concerns.
Virginia Tech massacre
When news of the Virginia Tech Massacre broke, Kaine aborted a trade mission to Japan and India to attend to the situation. In a convocation speech after he returned, Kaine said he would appoint a panel of independent law enforcement officials to examine what the university knew about Cho and how it dealt with his rampage, which killed 32 students and faculty. The commission led by a former state police chief and former governor and homeland security secretary Tom Ridge began work on April 28th. On April 30, Governor Kaine signed an executive order instructing state agencies to step up efforts to block gun sales to people involuntarily committed to inpatient and outpatient mental health treatment centers.[1] Appearing alongside Attorney General Bob McDonnell (R), Kaine said the order will help prevent people like the shooter from legally obtaining firearms in the future.

According to the website GovTrack, Kaine missed 2 of 94 roll call votes from January 2013 to March 2013. This amounts to 2.1%, which is worse than the median of 1.7% among current senators as of April 2013.[9]
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org - The Center for Responsive Politics, Kaine's net worth as of 2011 was estimated between $667,015 and $1,507,000. That averages to $1,087,007, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senators in 2011 of $20,795,450.[10]
Kaine and his wife Anne have three children together.[11]

Sonny Bill Williams intimated that he would probably have stayed in rugby union with the Chiefs had he known he would adapt to the game as easily as he has.
Williams yesterday announced he would be moving to Japan with the Wild Knights at the end of the Super Rugby campaign and then on to league (thought to be with the Sydney Roosters) following that five-month stint in a deal which includes the opportunity to fight one boxing bout during that time, reportedly in South Africa..
He had agreed a return to league upon his departure to Toulon in 2008 and this move has honoured that agreement. However, the World Cup winning midfielder said he would return to the Chiefs 'Even if there was no money here I'd come and play for free' and continued by seemingly showing regret at the deal.
'I didn't think I would have loved it as much as I have back here. To be honest I kind of felt like I'd found my place at the Chiefs, with the boys, but it just goes back to [the fact] I've given someone my word, this was a while ago, and I've had to go on with it even though it was tough,' he said.
Williams said that at the time he made the commitment to league he was not confident he could return to New Zealand and make a success of rugby.
'I might not have been good enough and pressure was certainly on me, it wasn't on anyone else. If it was about the money then I would have just stayed in France [with the Toulon rugby club] where I was getting pretty good coin.'
Williams is available to play in the first two Tests of the Rugby Championship but will not be selected as the selectors feel it makes more sense to go with a player who can establish himself.

Cummins produced its two millionth diesel engine for Ram trucks, the latest milestone in a partnership that spans four decades.The 6.7 liter turbo-diesel engine, rated at 800 lb-ft of torque and 350 horsepower, is, like all Cummins diesels supplied to Dodge and Ram over the years, an in-line six-cylinder. Distinguished by a "Cummins Red" rocker cover and breather, the historic engine, feted today at a Cummins plant in Indiana, will tour the country.Fred Diaz, Ram CEO, said, "Both companies have benefited greatly, but Ram diesel customers are the real beneficiaries. Every day they experience the toughness and capability a Cummins-powered Ram can deliver."

Treatment usually is rest from the activities that cause pain and ice to the sore area several times a day for 20 minutes.
See a doctor if the pain persists. Your doctor may suggest strengthening exercises and ways to modify your activities, such as straps that relieve stress on the tendons or braces. Over-the-counter or prescribed medications can reduce the inflammation and relieve pain. Other treatments are cortisone shots and surgery.
Shoulder injuries
The shoulder is made up of three joints. The glenohumeral joint is a ball and socket joint linking the collarbone (clavicle) to the upper arm bone (humerus). The acromioclavicular joint joins the shoulder blade (scapula) to the clavicle. The third joint, scapulothoracic, joins the scapula to the back of the rib cage. The rotator cuff, four muscles that surround the shoulder, stabilize it. Tendons attach these muscles to bones. Bursa, or small fluid-filled sacs, decrease friction during shoulder movements.
The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the body. Because of this flexibility, it is vulnerable to injury. Most injuries to the shoulder are to the muscles and ligaments; seldom are bones injured. Shoulder injuries are common in sports that require overhead motion like swimming, tennis, pitching and weightlifting.
The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) suggests that you see a health care provider if you have any of the following symptoms after a shoulder injury:
- Continuous pain
- Stiff shoulder
- Feeling as if your shoulder could pop out or slide out of the socket
- Decrease in shoulder strength or movement so that you cannot carry on with daily activities
Treatment for most shoulder injuries is rest and ice several times a day for 20 minutes and over-the-counter or prescribed anti-inflammatory medications. If these don't work, your health care provider might suggest strengthening exercises.
See a doctor immediately if you cannot lift your arm or if the shoulder is very painful, swollen and discolored. Your shoulder may be dislocated.
Knee injuries
The knee joins the lower end of the thighbone (femur), the shinbone (tibia) and the kneecap (patella). It is the largest joint in the body and bears much of the body's weight. Large ligaments connect the bones and stabilize the joint. Cartilage (meniscus) forms a cushion between the bones and absorbs shock during motion.
Common athletic injuries to knees involve blows to the knee, and twisting, jumping, slowing down when running and changing directions. Most often, it is the ligaments of the knee that are injured. Sports in which knee injuries are common are basketball, skiing and those that require athletic shoes with cleats.
Symptoms that require medical attention after a knee injury:
- Pain accompanied by swelling or redness
- Deformed joint
- Pain over the kneecap
- Inability to stand (knee "buckles")
- Difficulty walking or inability to walk
- Knee "locks" and won't bend
- Hearing a "pop" when the knee was injured
For minor pain, try RICE: Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Your health care provider might suggest over-the-counter or a prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. If this does not work, see your provider. Further treatment will depend on the cause of knee pain.

Helpful Tips for One-on-One Matchmaking Sessions
- Review the list of participating primes/NASA civil servants and see where there may be opportunity to offer your product or service
- Schedule time to pitch your business to those organizations first.
- Dress to impress! This may be your first opportunity to make a lasting impression!
- Bring your business cards! If you don't have any, have some made prior to the event.
- Come prepared with your best "elevator speech" explaining how you can meet the targeted company's procurement or supply chain diversification needs.
- Get the names of the representatives you spoke to and the Division/Department in which they work.
- If there does not seem to be a match for an opportunity at this point, inquire about how to make a match. Ask, "What do I need to do in order to do business with you?"

Corey Maggette and Carlos Boozer Trash Talk
April 1, 2010
via @tribjazz:
Corey Maggette and Carlos Boozer had a ballboy running between locker rooms before the game to deliver trash-talk between them.
What the heck do these two have to trash talk about?
2 Comments leave one →
Yucca Man permalinkApril 2, 2010 11:36 pm
Boozer can't win this smack-conversation. Nobody will ever be able to top being called "Bad Porn." Perhaps the greatest nickname ever. Maybe even better than Magic.
Back in high school, there was this dude that hung around my friends, but we didn't really liked him as much. So we started calling him "Porn Star." The problem was he liked the nickname. So we modified it to BIPS (Bestiality Incest Porn Star). He didn't like that as much.
But Bad Porn is better. I wish I had thought it up way back then.

Demetri Catrakilis landed a drop goal after the hooter to claim the Kings' first overseas victory.
The teams were square at half time as well, at 17-all, before the match finished 30 – 27 in favour of the Kings.
The Kings once again came from behind to rattle an Australian team, this week pulling off a victory instead of drawing level.
It was a fast start for the Kings, who scored two quick tries and running out to a fourteen point lead. Ronnie Cooke was the first to dot down, getting over in the corner after a good backline move. A moment of brilliance from Shaun Venter saw him dummy what must have been the entire Rebels team, running in from the half way line to dot down.
This only seemed to spur the Rebels on, who were on the attack for what felt like the entire first half, replaying with two tries of their own. The Kings had less than 30% of the possession, yet they were level at the break. The Rebels would have felt disappointed to be behind after the amount of ball they had.
This trend continued in the second half, with the Rebels pulling away to a ten point lead after Mitch Inman dotted down. It was his first try in 39 matches, the longest dry run for a centre in Australia. This lead was exactly what the Kings needed as they threw caution to the wind and attacked with all they had.
They finally got a decent amount of possession in the final ten minutes, which saw them turn down multiple kicks at goal, knowing that a try was the only thing that would pull them level, which they got through Wimpie van der Walt. The Rebels did themselves no favours by kicking the restart out on the full, which allowed the Kings to work their way into the Rebels 22m, which saw Catrakilis kick the winning drop goal after the hooter.
The Kings did not look to be in this match for long periods, but they made their little possession count with clinical finishing, and this led to them getting their first ever away victory. The Kings now find themselves on 15 log points, a mammoth nine points ahead of the lowest placed Highlanders. The Kings now return home to host the Bulls while the Rebels have a bye.

Paper with important implications for Dark Energy co-authored by Prof. Peter TandyPosted Sep. 27, 2010
"Void that is truly empty solves dark energy puzzle" is the tantalizing title of an article by the science journalist Rachel Courtland in the periodical New Scientist. Courtland's article is based on a refereed paper in the area of theoretical physics published this month in the journal Physical Review, authored by Kent State's Prof. Peter Tandy and three other scientists. The work by Prof. Tandy and his collaborators represents a discovery within the framework of the highly mathematical theory of Quantum Chromodynamics, and has a connection to the Cosmological Constant. The Cosmological Constant was first introduced by Einstein, but was later abandoned by him; he described it as his "biggest blunder". New discoveries about the universe since Einstein's death have revived the Cosmological Constant

Information in Evolution (Michael Lachmann)
The group leader Michael Lachmann has moved to the Santa Fe Institute:
The main interest of the group is understanding evolutionary phenomena associated with evolutionary transitions of the selected units. Examples for such transitions include the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of eusocial groups, such as ant and wasp colonies, the evolution of human culture, and the origin of Darwinian selection. Such transitions raise very interesting evolutionary questions, and we try to address some of them.
Currently, we are working on the following directions:
Evolution of differentiation
Multicellular organisms follow a developmental plan leading them from the fertilized egg to an adult organism. Different cells in the adult can perform different functions, and express different genes. These are the different cell types that are part of the various tissues of the multicellular organism.
Some of the questions that interst us are:
- How does differentiation evolve?
- How did the control of differentiation evolve when multicellulars evolved?
- What are cell-types, and how does gene-expression in the various cell-types change over evolutionary times?
Evolution of ant colony behavior
Some of the evolutionary processes that occur at the evolution of eusociality are similar to the processes that occur in the evolution of multicellularity. In the evolution of eusociality the main selective drives switched from functions that concern the behavior of single organisms, e.g. single wasps, to functions that concern the coordination of the whole colony. Similarly in the evolution of multicellularity selection switched from selection of functions that concern the single cells to functions that concern the functioning of a whole multicellular colony. There are some important differences, though. One is that in an ant colony the different ants are not genetically identical, whereas in an animal most of the cells contain the same genes. A second difference is that in eusocial colonies the units (i.e ants, wasps, etc) are free to move around. No long-term physical connections between the units exist. because of this, control of the behavior of the colony has to occur through different means.
Evolution of meaning and deception in signalling systems
Many organisms use signals. These signals influence their behavior, or influences the behavior of other organisms. When a signal is employed between two organisms, one might ask if the benefit of the transaction is to the sender or the receiver. Responding to a signal opens up the possibility that the receiver will be manipulated by the sender. Is such manipulation equivalent to deception? With human language two new concepts appear: truth and meaning. How do these evolve? When in the evolution of signalling did truth and meaning evolve?
Rates of information accumulation during evolution
The genome of an organism contains information. This information is used by the organism in order to construct a phenotype that is adapted to the environment. It is also used by scientists to reconstruct the organism's evolutionary history. How does the information get into the genome? What is the relation between selective pressures, uncertainty that the organism might experience, signals that the organism might give to others, and that the organism might receive from others?

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
Duke was chained with a tow chain wired together around his neck. He was staked out at a vacant house while his "owner' went to jail for 30 days.
He had no shelter or food that he could eat. Not even the crows wanted it. I had to look at him everyday out my living room window. 5 days passed till I couldn't stand watching him suffer anymore. I went over and brought him home. After a vet visit and dental surgery (removed 12 teeth)and several months of TLC, he is an amazing dog! So loving and obedient. He is such a joy to have. I have always loved the pitbull breed. If you have ever owned one, you know what I mean. It's irresponsible owners that ruin a dog's natural good nature. Thanks to all who support this breed!
I have a female pitbull named Tula. She is 14 years old now. We rescued a couple of kittens whose mom left them. Tula allowed the kittens to nurse on her for comfort and she would clean them and would take such good care of them. She became a good substitute mom. The kittens still follow her everywhere. I was so proud of her and amazed. This breed has had such a bad rap...I love Tula and couldnt imagine being without her. By the way Tula was rescued from a life of fighting...I am so glad I had the opportunity to save her..she is such a GREAT dog.
I have been privileged to live with three pit bulls; first Hawk and Animal (named for the wrestling team), then Hawk and Terminator (who stood in as Hawk's partner when Animal tragically lost his life). Hawk had been a well cared for stray; that was obvious because he knew all the commands and was a very polite dog (we were never able to find his original owners). Animal and Terminator came from two local shelters. All three came to me at the approximate age of 7 months old. Animal and Terminator were also strays who had been picked up by Animal Control and were scheduled for euthanasia because their time was up. All three were very loving and very loyal family members. I never used my dogs for hunting or fighting; they were just family dogs. Hawk and Terminator eventually passed away, and when my husband and I separated, I took the two remaining family cats with me (the other two also passed away after reaching 15 and 17 years, respectively). I currently have a huge ginger tabby that I took in (he was homeless), and I work all day and don't have enough time to devote to a dog. But if it ever becomes practical for me to adopt another dog, it will be a pittie, and it will be one from death row. A pittie is not for everyone. Unfortunately a lot of weak and weak-minded people adopt them because they figure they can hide behind the dog. Those are the ones who ruin their dogs.
One of my buddies is an american staffordshire terrier/pit mix who is the sweetest 80lb baby dog. He loves people, he lays on you, sits in your lap (80lbs) corn nibbles your legs, and loves to snuggle. I love him and he is 4/12 years old. His name is Athos
i have 2 pit mixes. they are so sweet, attentive, loving and are total goof balls, beautiful and athletic beasts with a need to please us, their owners. just like any dogs, they have to be raised with love, attention and training. bad owners = unpredictable dogs for any breed.
We are lucky enough to share our home with 3 pocket pitties (English Staffords) and 1 lab/pointer, and are constantly amazed how visitors to our house and folks we meet on our walks are genuinely surprised how sweet, friendly and full of character these wonderful dogs are. People ask us "Are these a type of pitbull? are they always like this?"..quickly adding that they had a completely different view of how a "pitbull would be". All our dogs are rescues and our male staffie was dog aggressive when he arrived; not for long though, he now shares the house happily with his dog companions and cuddles every day with our older stafford girl. In England, where the breed originated, they are known as "Nanny Dogs" as they are so good with children, in fact their breed standard includes the words "completely reliable". I have said for years that you cannot beat this breed, they are the best and definitely the best for a family. Much more needs to be done to change the public perception, especially that of landlords and insurance companies. Oh, by the way, we are also landlords who accept Pits at our rental, it's a beautiful house and we have not had any issue at all with pitties there. Do your part if you are a Landlord and encourage everyone to open their minds and hearts to these amazing dogs, the love & understanding is well worth the investment!
Well I rescued my Pit, Emma, about 5 years ago from the side of the road on a hot, hot summer day in the Houston Texas area. She was so skinny you could have played her ribs like a harp. I only had a granola bar in the car to entice her. I tossed pieces to her and she dove on the pieces and came right up to me. She was so hungry. I put her in the car and took her to the Humane Society and they offered to euthanize her. I told them if she looked this bad and was still alive, I wouldn't let them kill her. She had a mild case of heartworm, but was cleared 3 months later. She's had a little surgery for a luxating patella on one leg and will be going in soon for a possible partial tear of the ACL on her other leg. If she could lick you to death, she would. She sits for her dinner then raises her head and gives me a kiss before she eats. What a great girl. She's such a clown and gets along fine with my other two dogs, Carl & Rose. Carl's a little older now (12) not too interested in play. But Rose, a pit mx, and Emma body slam and chase each other until they drop. The nay sayers are right...it's how they've been raised...and we're raising our girl to keep being the wonderful, greatful little girl (65 lbs) she is and always will be.
I live in Ontario, Canada and it is a breed ignorance province. There are stories abound that the law man has the right to enter into one's home to confiscate any animal that 'appears' to be Pitbull - to euthanize them as soon as their vet confirms it is even part bully. Stories can be found on the internet on family dogs being dragged away due to no fault of their own from their hysterical owners and then being put down. I am so PISSED OFF at this law as it prevents us bullie lovers from ever owning a pitbull. The Ontario SPCA is so weak in their ways that they won't help us to change these absurd laws; wishing we had a stronger advocate like the ASPCA to help us. However in saying all of this - if I was able to have a pitbull in my home (a rescued one of course), I would definitely have one as I am well aware of their charms!
I am the EXTREMELY PROUD OWNER of 3 GORGEOUS PITBULLS. They are as much a part of my family as we are. These BULLYS as they are referred to are the biggest, sweetest, and most loveable animals. Yes this INCREDIBLE BREED of Canine is totally MISUNDERSTOOD and STEREO TYPED for all the wrong reasons. I did get my first pit for security and to have peace of mind while my children were home alone. Simply because people are intimidated just by knowing you have a pitbull. All three of them are inside dogs and very spoiled.ts more like they own us. And we enjoy each and every minute of these AMAZING animals. It is such a sad thing to hear and watch this breed be treated so badly. People who were once afraid of them have met mine and now they have a different opinion now. For those of you who refer to them as killers there is a book called PITBULLS FOR DUMMIES. Pick it up and read it there are some facts in there as well that everyone owners included should know.

I switched from 19 to 12 pound wheels on my car and there was a difference in the way the car felt but I doubt there was a real change in performance.

Interestingly, even though Subarus have a pulley that does have a damper built into it, Grimmspeed has this quote from Subaru of America on their website:
I still wouldn't buy one, as it's $130 that I don't think would actually do anything noticeable on a stock car in a double-blind test.Originally Posted by SoA
Oddly enough, Subaru published an SAE whitepaper about the EJ22T engine in 1989 which specifically calls out the pulley as a double mass harmonic balancer intended to disperse the torsional vibration of the crankshaft up to 7500rpm.

I love cars, but the problem is they are like schroedinger's hobby. They're always in a quantum superstate of being both awesome and a huge waste of time and money... until observation momentarily forces them into one state or another.
Spun bearings in the SVT Contour Duratec engine are believed to be because of the crank pulley. A lot of guys install the one from the ST200 in europe. It's a heavier dual mass dampner. I know one I owned had one installed and never had any engine issues. Sold it with 160k on it. It's ok to do power steering and alternator pulleys but I'd never change the main crank pulley.
Here's a pic comparing the 2. Stock is on right obviously. Ford must have redesigned this for a reason.

Not to mention that at low 12's, a tenth is a lot.
Now if we were talking going from 16.2 to 16.1, that would be different. The wind resistance alone at those cars traps would be hugely different.
Current VAG collection- 08 TT coupe 3.2 MT | 06 Phaeton 4-seater 6.0 W12 | 04 VW R32 | 03 GTI VR6 - all of them 24v VR6 based.
Current other- 00 M Roadster | 12 Kia Soul 1.6 stick |01 ZRX1200R | 03 KLX400R
Past- too much too list.

Sort by body type:
I thought these run a little small in the leg/seat area and large in the waist. I'm 5'10" and 130 lbs and a 26 was a bit tight in the upper thigh and the 27 was a bit loose. Very nice jean and very comfotable, I hope it works out for you all.
I agree with a previous poster - I heve been buying COH jeans for many years and the material and sizing has definitely changed. The material is thinner for sure but that makes the jean more comfy so I am not overly concerned by that. The sizing runs large for sure. I used to be a 26 in these exact jeans but now a 25 and could squeeze in a 24! Still recommend but take care on sizing :)
Online chat not very helpful with conversion into australian sizing.Ordered a size 28. These turned out to be a great fit for my size - an 8-10 Aus. Waist a little large but fine with a belt. Overall a fairly good fit.

Men's Basketball Falls 87-72 at Queens as Royals Use Late Second Half Run Aides Win
January 31, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Host Queens closed out the second half doubling up Pfeiffer University 32-16 to claim an 87-72 victory in Conference Carolinas men's basketball action on Thursday night inside the Grady Cole Center. The Royals improve to 10-8 overall, 7-5 in league play while the Falcons suffer their sixth-straight loss falling to 3-15, 1-10.
A three-pointer by Josh Humphrey put the Falcons up 56-55 with 11:59 to play in the second half before the Royals started their run. Brandon Nichols started with a jumper 12 seconds later before David Mason drained a couple of free throws.
Queens would push the advantage into double-digits with a pair of Tre McLean free throws before another Humphrey three sliced the lead back down to eight with 4:58 to play. A final 10-0 run by the Royals would extend the lead to 18 over the final three minutes en route to the 15-point win.
Nichols led all scorers with 26 off the bench for Queens while Antonio Stabler followed with 23. Humphrey led the Falcons with 20 points hitting four shots from behind the arc while Tayron Gibson and AJ Clark each followed with 16 and 14. Queens shot 57% from the field in the win while the Falcons managed 42%.

I haven't been paying that much attention. Who's said we're in on McCarthy? That'd be fantastic.
MADE it happen...
Marlin agrees with me. Maybe I'm not that far off after all?
You are correct. There was an article earlier today where he mentions it on ESPN Chicago.
With a guy like Blanton getting 2/15 I gotta think McCarthy is at a minimum getting 3/20. Most likely higher

Remove Rust from Your Apartment Bathroom Fixtures
You can remove rust with lemon juice or vinegar - acid is the trick here. Allow a strong acid to sit on the rust spot for a few moments. You may have to apply acid to the same spot a few times, but it will eventually disappear. Photo credit: ihaven'tseenbarbados on Flickr.

"How're you doin'?"
Sounds like a simple enough greeting, doesn't it?
How do you respond? Do you say "fine," and let it go at that? Do you figure as long as someone's asking, you should launch into a lengthy dissertation on your general health and habits?
I would never ask "how are you doing" to some people. It would take 15 minutes for them to catalogue their list of woes from alimentary canal to plantar warts. I once knew a woman who, when an employee at a drive-thru restaurant asked, "How are you today? May I have your order?" clogged up traffic for 10 minutes recounting the state of her carbuncle. The ordeal was so traumatic that those who work fast-food windows passed the legendary story among themselves to the point that you never hear someone ask that question again when you're wanting to buy a quick burger. One woman affected an entire industry over something as simple as a greeting and a response over what turned out to simply be a benign boil.
When I was coming along, if someone asked how I was doing, I would answer, "Fine, thank you. And you?" They would respond "Very well, thank you."
And, if someone said, "Thank you," the proper reply was, "You're welcome."
Now if a clerk even bothers to say "thank you," many customers say, "thank you" right back at them. This can turn into an Alphonse-Gaston routine that heads off into bleak infinity.
If someone greets you with a "howdy," you might "howdy" them right back.
If it comes at you like, "whatcha up to?" you might respond more colorfully, "I'm okey-dokey" or even "Just peachy."
If someone asks, "Sup?" you're on your own.
Hubert Tingen was one of my favorite people. Hubert lived within sight of my father's store in Pleasant Hill. He was colorful in his language and colorful in his storytelling. His thumb was also colorful, being the smoker of filterless cigarettes which would burn to the nub in his fingers, giving them a deep chocolate hue.
"How're you this this morning Mr. Hubert?" I'd greet him.
"So as to be about," he'd reply. When's the last time you heard someone say that? Never, I wager.
Sometimes he was "Tol'able. Jest tol'able."
Other times he was "middlin'" or "fair to middlin'."
At times you might catch him "pert" or "pert as common."
Hubert was not the only character with colorful greetings.
One man told me it was "Neck or nothing," when I inquired his status. Another was "'Average. 'bout average." Yet another was "Not bad for a rough old cob."
Just as there are responses for salutations, so there are wonderful valedictories for leave-taking.
For a couple of months back in the '70s, saying "I'll be 10-10 and on the side" was employed. This was during the citizen band radio craze. It didn't make much sense then and it doesn't make much sense now.
"Well, I think I'll hang it in," is one of my favorites. The mayor of Ireland Street uses that one. Sounds like something a coon hunter would say at the end of the night.
Speaking of hunters, there is also one farewell that describes dousing a fire and summoning your hunting dogs. It's short, sweet, and entirely unprintable here.
"Vaya con dios" used to be employed a lot. There is a song by that title performed in the long-ago by Les Paul and Mary Ford. Also by the McGuire Sisters. And about five dozen more songbirds and chanteuses. Yet, do you hear it anymore in song or farewell? Nay.
The old words and phrases give way to the new, but it doesn't mean they aren't funny anymore. This was demonstrated this week to me by a fellow who told me that when he was growing up, he remembered three things about his daddy.
"He spoke of mony fever, which was something that I knew I didn't want. It would kill you. He'd talk about getting a bresh after me. I didn't know what that was, either, but I knew it was something I didn't want. And when I asked him for permission to do something he'd say "askyourmammy. I thought it was one word."
"Bresh" I knew meant brush, or stick. In other words, whipping switch. I've seen my share of those and agreed, you don't want one. Askyourmammy was my father's equivalent to "ask your mama."
But mony fever? Pronounced "mo-nee," emphasis on the first syllable. Huh?
Pneumonia fever.
When his dad was a boy, the mony fever could be a death sentence and, according to my friend, the local "cure" was a tea made from sheep manure. As you might imagine sheep manure tea was whittled down to an obvious alliterative phrase, making it sound every bit as bad as it tasted.
Someone in the neighborhood, ostensibly someone with a flock of sheep, would brew it for other folks and my friend remembers his dad talking about trudging through a deep snow to get a dose for someone in his family in their sick bed. The mental image of that poor child on a mission for sheepish …, er, sheep manure tea may haunt me forever.
See you later, alligator. After 'while, crocodile. — Bobby Charles.

Diane R. shared her story with us about a spontaneous trip to the ASPCA Adoption Center that resulted in bringing home a new furry friend named Bubba. Bubba has quite the personality and always keeps Diane on her toes.
I had two cats that I brought with me when I moved to New York City. They both passed away, and I knew that one day I would welcome another furry friend into my life when the time was right.
I heard there was a rescue facility somewhere near me on the Upper East Side. One July afternoon, I decided to get some fresh air and run errands. As I walked down Second Avenue, I saw a poster for the ASPCA on the side of a bus stop. Then, as I was about to check in on Foursquare at a grocery store, the first address that came up was for the ASPCA. I took the hint and headed there.
The entire staff was patient, helpful, kind and professional. In the third room I visited, I met one slightly shy guy, Bubba. He had the sweetest face and as I tried to pet him, he swatted me. I loved that! My previous boy cat had the same feisty swagger.
I met many amazing cats, but on the way out, I had to see Bubba one more time. When we opened the door, Bubba zoomed out as though to say, "Let's go already!" Now I was sure—he was my guy.
I tried to set him up in the bathroom to start, as the Adoptions staff suggested, but Bubba had his own agenda. He wanted to be where I was, so I set up a blanket on my living room floor. During Bubba's first days at home he slept, ate and played a lot! He explored my entire apartment.
Bubba has a vibrant and curious personality and cracks me up on a daily basis. He is so sweet, and welcomes me home with the most perfect tiny meow. I cannot thank the ASPCA enough for the gift of allowing me to adopt Bubba! He has made me smile, laugh out loud, and has filled my heart since I brought him home.
Bubba sounds like an absolute delight. I am so happy that you found each other and especially that Bubba has a safe, loving, caring, fun-filled new life. As you say in your "happy tail," it was meant to be! Blessings to the both of you.
Buba is such a sweet honey of a guy.
He will be there for you for a long time to come.
treat him please,with tender love and affection always and bring him to the doctores
often for check up and keep him healthy and give hime all of your tender love and affection without restrant.
I have very warm and loving maincoon boy named Wolf.
He had been with me for tweelve years now.
I understand the pain and suffering that you went through with loosing your two other precious family members.
I wish you the very best of years with your son Buba (:
Signed,Vinny from Worcester MA (:
I hope to spread the word EVERYWHERE! You are absolutely right about Dr. visits. I had an orange and white Tabby named Mawoo (he vocalized with that so it became his name). He was 1 or 2 years old when I got him as a stray. He was the best friend I've ever had. I had him 14 years. I never took him for checkups as I can't really afford them, but I took him in for cortisone shots for flea dermatitis. One vet actually listened and found a stage 4 (out of 6) heart murmur. Blood tests revealed an out of control thyroid. 700 dollars later, I had to keep him on medicine, but after 5 or six months, his heart failed in a very bad way. I had to put him down myself. Nov 8th 2014. I will never forget him. But because of him, I will have Morgan (adopted from humane soc) checked per schedule. My heart will always have a Mawoo shaped hole in it, but Morgan does her best to fill it.
Please take your own advice as well. Thank you.
Thank you for giving Bubba a forever home!
I am looking forward to an experience where I "know" the right little cat for me. I left NY with two females and they both passed away. When you have a pet you do not feel alone!!!
What a sweet angel! Love the photo of him hiding. Pets do crack us up with their antics!
He looks exactly like my cat Sunshine!!!! What a love!!!!
I am so happy to know Bubba has a loving home.
What a lovely story! I have two orange tabbies myself and they are the sweetest cats. Our two black girl- cats are far more temperamental than Rouge and Archie on any day. Thanks for sharing your story!

Recently looked at youtube video: The Nightline Face-Off: Does God Have a Future. (http://youtu.be/6-8-Yxdphsg)
In this Sam says that consciousness is dependent on brain so consciousness cannot exists without brain (not precise words). I think science in general agrees with this.
Now how can you explain someone remembering previous life? Agree there can be many bogus cases but there are some cases not easy to deny where children knowing details of remote location and/or language from previous life which is not possible logically. Here is one example on youtube: http://youtu.be/WoSrzpLoODo
If consciousness cannot transcend body, how can such memory be transferred from a body to another?

Galatasaray cruised to an impressive 106-82 away win at Gyor on Thursday with five players scoring in double digits, but none was more productive than Diana Taurasi.
The American superstar, who averages 23 points so far this season and is the EuroLeague Women's second-leading scorer -just behind her compatriot Dewanna Bonner - was on yet another great night in Hungary.
Taurasi finished the game with 24 points on 58.3% shooting from the floor, six boards, five assists and two assists. It was enough for her to reach an efficiency index rating of 29, enough to claim Week 4 MVP honours just ahead of Zoll Sharnee of CCC Polkowice.
Despite this still being early days in the 2012 EuroLeague Women season, the Turkish powerhouse's shooting guard has now been named the week's most valuable player already twice, as she walked away with the title after the first round of games too.
