A sport utility vehicle (SUV) is a generic marketing description for a rugged automotive vehicle similar to a station wagon but built on a light-truck chassis. Usually equipped with four-wheel drive for on or off road ability, some SUVs include the towing capacity of a pickup truck with the passenger-carrying space of a minivan. SUVs are considered light trucks and often share the same platforms of pickups and thus are regulated less stringently than passenger cars under two major laws in the U.S.—the Energy Policy and Conservation Act for fuel economy standards, and the Clean Air Act for emissions standards
It is known in some countries as an "off-road vehicle" or "four-wheel drive", often abbreviated to "4WD" or "4x4", pronounced "four-by-four". However, not all SUVs have four-wheel drive capabilities. Conversely, not all 4WD passenger vehicles are SUVs. Off-road vehicles are a very different class of vehicles, being vehicles primarily built for off-road use. Although some SUVs have off-road capabilities, this is often a secondary role and they often do not have the ability to switch between 2WD, 4WD high gearing and 4WD low gearing. While automakers frequently tout a particular SUV's off-road prowess with advertising and naming, the daily use of SUVs is largely paved roads and urban areas.
Initially extremely popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the SUV's popularity has since declined, due to criticism regarding excessive gasoline consumption, pollution, cost, and poor safety. Due to high oil prices and a declining economy since the mid-2000s, manufacturers have responded to buyers' complaints. The traditional truck-based SUV is gradually being supplanted by a new vehicle type, the crossover SUV, which uses an car platform for lighter weight and better fuel efficiency, but is no longer designed or recommended by the manufacturer for off-road usage or towing.
Most SUVs are designed with a square cross-section, an engine compartment, a combined passenger and cargo compartment, and no dedicated trunk (i.e. a station wagon body). Most mid-size and full-size SUVs have three rows of seats with a cargo area directly behind the last row of seats. Compact SUVs and mini SUVs may have five or fewer seats, especially if they are based on a car platform instead of a light truck.
A few of the most known design characteristics of SUVs are their high ground clearance, upright, boxy body, and high H-point. Lately, SUV bodies have become more aerodynamic to reduce wind resistance and improve fuel economy.
The earliest examples of longer-wheelbase wagon-type SUVs were the Willys Jeep Wagon (1948), Land Rover Series II 109 (1958), and the International Harvester Scout 80 (1961). These were followed by the more 'modern' Jeep Wagoneer (1963), International Harvester Scout II (1971), Ford Bronco (1966), Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-55 (1968), the Chevrolet Blazer / GMC Jimmy (1969), and the Land Rover Range Rover (1970).
The transportation curator at the Henry Ford Museum, Robert Casey, contends persuasively that the Cherokee was the first true sport utility vehicle in the modern understanding of the term. Marketed to urban families as a substitute for a traditional car, the Chrerokee had four wheel drive in a more manageable size (compared to the full-size Wagoneer), as well as a plush interior resembling a station wagon. With the introduction of more luxurious models and a much more powerful 4-liter engine, sales of the Cherokee zoomed even higher as the price of gasoline fell, and the term "sport utility vehicle" began to be used in the national press for the first time.
The increase in SUV sales was assisted by a legislative loophole. Created in the 1970s, the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards were established as minimums for passenger vehicles. Exceptions were granted business and farm vehicles. Car manufacturers utilized this loophole by selling SUVs as work vehicles. In the last 25 years, and even more in the last decade, the popularity of SUVs has increased among urban drivers. Consequently, more modern SUVs often come with luxury features and some crossover SUVs have adopted lower ride heights and use unibody construction to better accommodate on-road driving.
Author Keith Bradsher, has linked the rise of the SUV directly to American Motors' (AMC) lobbying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a waiver to the Clean Air Act: as a result, the EPA designated AMC's compact Cherokee a "light truck", which enabled the company to market it to everyday drivers. This in turn led to the SUV boom when other automakers marketed their own imitators in response to the Cherokee taking sales from their regular cars.
US automakers could enjoy profit margins of $10,000 per SUV, while losing a few hundred dollars on a compact car. For instance, the Ford Excursion could net the company $18,000, while they could not break even with the Ford Focus unless the buyer chose options. This led to Detroit's big three automakers focusing resources and design on SUVs over small cars (small cars were sold mainly to attract young buyers with inexpensive options and to increase their fleet average fuel economies to meet federal standards). The high wages of unionized workers in the United States and Canada (members of the UAW and CAW, respectively), compared to non-union workers such as that of Toyota, meant that it was unprofitable to have them build small cars. The General Motors Arlington, Texas factory where rear-wheel drive cars were built, such as the Chevrolet Caprice, Buick Roadmaster, and Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham was converted to truck and SUV production, putting an end to full-size family station wagon and overall terminating production of rear-wheel drive full-size cars. As a result of the shift in the Big Three's strategy, many long-running cars like the Ford Taurus, Buick Century, and Pontiac Grand Prix eventually fell behind their Japanese competition in features and image (relying more upon fleet sales instead of retail and/or heavy incentive discounts), some being discontinued.
Vehicle buyers were drawn to their large cabins, higher ride height, and perceived safety. Full-sized SUVs often offered features such as 3-row seating, so they effectively replaced full-size station wagons and minivans; wagons were seen as old-fashioned, while minivans generally had poor road handling. Additionally, full-size SUVs have greater towing capabilities than conventional cars, and can haul trailers, travel trailers (caravans) and boats. Increased ground clearance is useful in climates with heavy snow. The very low oil prices of the 1990s helped to keep down running costs. The SUV's utilitarian image may partially explain its popularity, not least among some women, who constitute more than half of all SUV drivers. For women in the United States, an SUV is one of the most popular vehicle choices.
In Australia, SUV sales were helped by the fact that SUVs attracted much lower import duty than cars, so that they cost less than similarly-equipped imported sedan. However this gap has been narrowed, as the import duty on cars has now been lowered to 10%, compared with 5% for SUVs.
Due to high oil prices and a declining economy since the mid-2000s, sales of SUVs and other light trucks have fallen. In June 2008, General Motors announced plans to close four plants manufacturing trucks and SUVs, including the Oshawa Truck Assembly. The company cited decreased sales of large vehicles in the wake of rising fuel prices. The business model of focusing on SUVs and light trucks, at the expense of more fuel-efficient compact and midsized cards, is blamed for declining sales and profits among Detroit's Big Three automakers since the mid-late 2000s. The Big Three were unable to adapt as quickly as their Japanese rivals to produce small cars to meet growing demand. This was due to inflexible manufacturing facilities, and the high wages of unionized workers in the United States and Canada (members of the UAW and CAW, respectively) which make it unprofitable to build small cars.
As many SUV owners never actually exploit the off-road capabilities of their vehicle, newer SUVs (including crossovers) now have lower ground clearance and suspension designed primarily for paved roads.
Numerous luxury vehicles in the form of SUVs and pickup trucks are being produced. This is principally a marketing term to sell vehicles that may have higher performance, comfort, technology, or brand image.
The category was created in 1966 with Kaiser Jeep's luxurious Super Wagoneer. It was the first to offer a V8 engine, automatic transmission, and luxury car trim and equipment in a serious off-road model. It came with bucket seating, air conditioning, sun roof, and even a vinyl roof. Land Rover followed suit in 1970 by releasing the Range Rover in Britain. The trend continued with other competitors adding comfort appointments to their mostly rudimentary and truck-based models.
The luxury SUV market segment rapidly expanded in the late 1990s, with offerings such as the Lexus RX, BMW X5, Mercedes M-Class, Lincoln Navigator, Acura MDX, and Porsche Cayenne. Notably, for some automakers, these were the first SUVs they produced. It must be noted, however, that some of these are not traditional light-truck based SUVs, they are classified as crossovers instead.
In Australia and New Zealand the term 'SUV' is not widely used and carries a negative connotation of very large, American vehicles which are not sold in Australia. Passenger class vehicles designed for offroad use are known as 'four wheel drives', or '4WDs', or '4X4s'. Some manufacturers do refer to their products as SUVs, but others invent names such as XUV , crossovers or even Action Utility Vehicles (AUVs) . The crossover name is meant to indicate the vehicle is both 4WD and roadcar, but in reality, these crossovers are far more roadcar than offroader. The motoring press refers to vehicles of the crossover class as softroaders, but manufacturers do not use this term. The term 'AWD', or All Wheel Drive is used for any vehicle that drives all four wheels but is not designed for any offroad use. The most notable exponent of all wheel drive is Subaru , who have made it a mainstay of their advertising for many years.
The Australian "utility" or "ute" (an abbreviation of "coupe utility", a vehicle type created in Australia in 1934) traditionally refers to a car-based commercial vehicle with an open load area at the rear. Utes can be 2WD or 4WD, and many are available in both formats, for example the Toyota , Nissan and Mitsubishi . The term is also widely used in New Zealand. These vehicles are known in South Africa as bakkies, and elsewhere as pickups.

It's my Birthday, so of course marketing is top of mind
It is my birthday today and it has been an amazing day, but no day is complete without a good ol blogpost for my loyal fans. Today I wanted to talk about expectations. Specifically about setting and exceeding expectations with your marketing.
An Example of Brilliant Marketing
Any time you are creating a blog post, creating content, or even making an advertisement, there are certain expectations that a reader or potential customer has. This s usually based on their past experience with similar situations in the past. Your goal is to identify what the general expectation of value is from other marketers in your field and then blow it to hell. You want your customer to be so impressed that they remember and recommend you when the time arises. Try to create a wow experience that extends beyond the basic interaction.
Here is a great example of exceeding expectations. Have you heard of Brendan Burchard? He is a stellar information marketer and believes complete in the power of over-delivering value. Recently he launched a book and did an ingenious thing. I was reading my recent copy of INC magazine and saw one of those inserts that usually just try to sell you something. I then noticed it was for Brendan's new book "The Charge". Now your expectation is that this is simply an advertisement for the book. It was actually an ad that was giving away the book for FREE to any inc reader. This was an actual print book from a best selling author for free! That exceeded my expectations to start. Then when you actually receive the book you begin to feel like a part of the inside crowd by his emails and other free offers.
The truth behind this is that Brendan know's the power of providing incredible value and sharing a valuable message. He then gets you into his sales funnel and you a pre-sold on any product he offers you. He has built credibility by showcasing the quality and value he provides in his book. He also knows that he can make 2 to 3 times the cost of the book in one simple informational training.
The Simple Media Marketing Takeaways
- Know Your Customers Expectations & Frustrations
- Find creative ways to provide value
- Be sure to follow up with customers
Be sure to survey the experience your customers receive in similar situations from your competition. Then note the pain points about the experience. What annoys you about the experience? Are the promises in the ad vague so yo don't know what to expect? Is the content delivered difficult to navigate? Is the content different than what the title leads you to believe?
Don't just rely on meeting your customers expectations to be enough, although it is usually a lot more than others are doing in your space. Instead, at the pain points you identified, provide extra value. This can be in the form of free information, free products, free services, or just a really cool user experience. What ever you decide, execute beautifully.
You spend a lot of time finding new customers, but your true value is retaining your existing ones. Instead of forgetting about your customers once they join your email list or make a purchase, find more ways to add value and make them feel special. Especially in unexpected ways!
Join the mailing list below and let me try to add value to your marketing with my Simple Media Marketing tips.
Leave a comment. How have you have received unexpected value in your lives?

This is part one of my weekly blog about what to know before you go. Feel free to add anything else you can think of as well.
This cannot be stressed this enough, plan before you go. If you are traveling to Walt Disney World at a time when school is out, do not wait until a month before your trip to Walt Disney World to start your preparation. It is a must to begin the process at least 3-6 months in advance. Many people make the mistake of thinking that they will be able to walk right into the parks, walk onto every ride with minimum wait time, get the resort they want, and get into any restaurant to eat whatever day and time they feel like. If you are vacationing during the peak seasons (Spring Break, summer, and Christmas) this strategy will not work, and you may be very disappointed.
What should you know before you go? You should plan, plan, and plan. There are several factors that you must consider before you go, the first being the weather. Orlando weather in general provides a great climate most of the year. The exceptions are in the summer months, when come mid-afternoon you will most likely need to find air conditioning as a way to refresh yourself and cool down. The summer months also supply the most rainfall. It seems that every day during the summer you can expect an afternoon shower or thunderstorm for a few hours.
Now that you have an idea about the weather you will encounter, a good tip for packing would be to pack for the coldest temperatures as you can always take layers off. One big mistake that many tourists make is thinking Orlando is warm all year long and all hours of the day and night. I have seen many visitors show up at the parks wearing a t-shirt and shorts in December because they did not pack any warm clothes. They are left to shiver and freeze until it warms up or spend $40 -$60 on a sweatshirt.
Walt Disney World also has different crowd patterns each day. Historically each park has more visitors on certain days of the week. The reason for this varies for everyone. Many times people will arrive at Walt Disney World on a Sunday and the first park they choose is the most famous, Magic Kingdom. Thus Monday is a busy day for that park. A park may have Extra Magic Hours (EMH) on a certain day of the week all year and that may factor in as well. Does that mean that every Monday the Magic Kingdom will be packed? No, it doesnt. Times change and every season at Walt Disney World can bring about different touring patterns, so make your daily plans according to what works best for you.

Wendy Davis's inauthentic authenticity.
Listen to the broadcast of You Tell Me on KTBB AM 600, Friday, January 24, 2014.
Listen now!
or Download for mobile devices!
Remember the Texas legislative session last June and Ft. Worth State Senator Wendy Davis's eleven hour filibuster to block a bill making abortions illegal in Texas after 20 weeks? She became an instant darling of east coast liberals and much of the media.
On that rise in profile, she announced her candidacy for Texas governor. Ms. Davis's life narrative, as she originally put it forth, is practically irresistible to liberals. In addition to the high-profile support of late-term abortion that put her on the map, Ms. Davis claims teen-aged single motherhood, multiple divorces, time spent living in a trailer park and a rags-to-riches bootstrapping of an Ivy League law degree.
There's just one problem. Much of it isn't true.
Ms. Davis's website said, "By 19, Wendy was a single mother." It turns out that Ms. Davis filed for divorce when she was 20 and the divorce wasn't final until she was 21.
Let's call that one a minor discrepancy (except stay tuned for some details on Wendy Davis as a mother).
Her story then has her living in a trailer park – which she did. But only for a few months before she moved in with her mother prior to getting an apartment of her own.
Let's call that one a fairly minor embellishment of what was technically true.
But she then went on to say on her website that she got through undergraduate and law school "with the help of academic scholarships and student loans."
Here we start to see some daylight open up between Ms. Davis's story and the actual facts.
What Wendy Davis failed to include in her education résumé is that she married Jeffry Davis, a successful Ft. Worth attorney 13 years her senior. He cashed his 401(k) and took out a ten year loan in order to fund Ms. Davis's last two years of undergraduate study at TCU and her law school education at Harvard.
What she also failed to say on her website is that while attending Harvard, she left her by then two children with her husband Jeff in Ft. Worth while she was in Boston. (I don't know about you but for me, leaving one's children behind while going off to school for three years on someone else's dime pretty much zeroes out the whole single mother story.)
Jeff Davis paid off the loans he took out for Wendy in 2003. One day after he made the final payment, she left him.
In the divorce, Jeff Davis got custody of the child they had together. Wendy pays Jeff child support. Highly unusual in Texas.
What emerges from Wendy Davis's story and its discrepancies is that she embellished or outright fabricated parts of her story to make it more appealing to her base. That's not the first time a politician has done that.
What strikes me, though, is what the embellishments say about that base. It's instructive to examine what is emphasized and what gets left out. Wendy Davis does not hasten to tell you that she graduated number one in her class at TCU with a BA in English. Nor does she tell you that she graduated Harvard Law School cum laude.
Instead she emphasizes her teen pregnancy and more or less concocts her single motherhood – all the while leaving out or minimizing her admirable academic achievements.
Thus the questions. Why do Democrats think they need a poverty narrative – even if it's bogus? Why is an unwed pregnancy held in the spotlight while genuine achievement is de-emphasized?
If Wendy Davis held all of her same political views (among the most liberal in the Texas Senate) but was otherwise married to the father of her children – and if she was devoid of anything real or imagined that can be construed as having ever lived in poverty, would she still be as big with east coast liberals and the media?
Why does it seem that a woman must have teenaged single motherhood on her résumé in order to have 'street cred' as a Democrat? (Does anyone remember that Republicans were worried when they learned at the 2008 GOP convention that Sarah Palin's daughter was pregnant?)
And, to put the sharpest point on it, what does the very asking of these questions say about the party of Truman and Kennedy?
it is interesting to note today that CNN has laid off 40 journalists and achieved the lowest rating ever. Now at what point will the journalists of CNN say enough is enough and go back to giving us fair and balanced news so that the public will want to watch them? Has the journalist profession sunk so low that they are content to be the bootblacks for the ivy league mba's who own the stations? Guarantee Wendy Davis will not excoriated as much as Christiegate……grin….b³
She is a liberal to the core! No morals, no ethics and cares nothing for anyone unless they can provide her with something of value. People should be made aware of her lies…lies are lies no matter if you call them a fib or what, they are lies! Her up and leaving her husband after he had paid off her loan as she did and the fact that her child meant very little to her compared to her career, she is a liberal dream…no morals and no conscience!!!
The reason I dislike Hillary so much is that she also leans on her 'street creds' when she actually leaned on Bill for all of it.
She did n't even have enough grit to leave him for his massive unfaithfulness but is still with him for what she can get.
I have zero respect for her & her ilk.
I believe this is USING a person.
I have respect for a person who gets stuff on their own drive .
I think if a person who has a record of using others like a syncophant( look it up…we've met many!)will remain untrustworthy in office because the only way they can get things done is by creating more syncophants & using them too. That's what Hillary has done before ; she as quoted as threatening her employees to write zero 'tell all ' books or face consequence( like Vince Foster??).'
Thus you have no 'tell all' books about the Clintons.
No one can be responsible if they've never BEEN responsible.
Wendy Davis is in that same mold.
I completely agree with the comments of bearzilla, Montrose & Lewis regarding the philosophy of the Democrat party in their support of such candidates as Wendy Davis, as well as the celebration of the reprobates who hold or have held office. It appears that this political party has staked it's claim on the constituents who will most likely be dependent upon the government for their basic needs, and as a result will be faithful voters. Especially under this administration, dependency on the government has expanded rapidly over the last few years, which validates this strategy of embellishing claims of a troubled lifestyle, rather than to emphasize more successful and morally acceptable accomplishments. How else can you explain the reverence and celebrity that the Democrats give to former president Bill Clinton, who is a convicted perjurer, lied to the American people about his sexual involvement with an intern, and has been accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment and/or rape. If the Democrats were interested in being a party that promotes morality and integrity, this man would never be allowed to appear even marginally as their representative; instead he is front and center as the face of the Democrat party. The embellishment of Wendy Davis' "achievements" to appeal to the Democrat base is completely consistent and understandable.

There is little more quintessentially fall than a kids' soccer game on a Saturday afternoon, sliced oranges divided up at halftime, a crisp breeze in the air. Traditionally, on the East End, parents have largely been the sports coaches offering their children and their peers support on the field, but now young athletes on South Fork will have a new resource to turn towards.
Southampton Youth Services (SYS), with its sprawling campus on Majors Path, has all the facilities in place to offer clinics and leagues of all types of sports. With its recently built indoor tennis facilities
and brand new indoor soccer and lacrosse courts, Future Stars at SYS has now moved in to bring kids and adults the kind of athletic outlets they may have been missing.
"Future Stars has been in business for 33 years," says Pam Morrison, General Manager of the Future Stars Club. "Their home office is in Armonk, but they've run camps on the East End for a long time."
In 2010, the tennis facility at SYS went up, and for the past two seasons, four of the tennis courts have been bubbled for use throughout the year. This year, the other side will be bubbled for indoor lacrosse and soccer.
"This was the goal from the beginning," says Morrison, "bringing together the different factions. There's a need for a program like this in Southampton. When we were little we would come home from school and just go out and play. The world is different now, and this offers kids a structured environment where they're learning, getting healthy emotionally and physically, meeting friends."
Morrison noted many kids don't get into organized sports until it is offered in school, which in some cases isn't until seventh grade. This is detrimental to their long-term ability to compete, she said.
"We are little bit behind the rest of Long Island," says Andreas Lindberg, Turf and Site Director at Future Stars, who is in charge of building the new programs. "We don't have sports year round in the same way, and it affects high schools out east. In a lot of programs they are behind in development. Hopefully we'll be able to get more people playing year round, and their abilities will increase."
Lindberg, who is the men's soccer coach at Long Island University's C.W. Post campus, has found that there is a difference between kids who grew up on the East End and kids who were raised in more densely populated places.
"It was difficult for [East End] kids to get onto college teams because they aren't good enough," he says matter-of-factly. "I'd like to change that. I'd like to see kids go to college and play. A lot of the high school coaches are loving this [Future Stars] because the kids will get the training."
To that end, Future Stars is looking to build relationships with schools and outside organizations, like All-Pro for baseball.
"We want to get kids the proper coaching starting in kindergarten," says Lindberg.
This year, Future Stars will unveil a host of new offerings, including clinics in soccer, baseball, field hockey, flag football, and lacrosse. From there, they hope to develop leagues wherever there is a
demand. Participants will be broken down into age and skill levels, and leagues for adults are part of the plan.
"We're working with schools, clubs, and youth organizations," says Lindberg, "but people can also come in and rent the space from us. They don't have to be part of a clinic or a league. They can create
their own leagues or rec games."
"This is really a family place," adds Morrison. "We have some families who started with us when we first opened in 2010. We even have some second-generation Future Stars families. We'll see kids
coming in after school, moms playing in the leagues in the morning, and dads playing in the leagues at night."
The biggest thing is raising the awareness that this resource is here. That's why Future Stars plans to offer an open house at SYS on Saturday, September 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
"We'll have demos, court time, games, refreshments, and an opportunity to meet the coaches and staff," says Morison. "I think a lot of people aren't aware of what's really up here, that when the weather gets crummy, there's something good to do. It's a little secret but it shouldn't be. We're right here, super affordable, and here for everybody."
Future Stars is located at the Southampton Youth Services, 1370A Majors Path in Southampton. For more information on programs, call 287-6707.

Protest Songs is the fourth album by English pop band Prefab Sprout (though the third recorded). It was recorded in 1985, but was not released until 1989. Its delayed release was due to the surprise success of the song "The King of Rock 'N' Roll", prompting the band's record label to release From Langley Park to Memphis first to avoid confusing the public. The back cover of Protest Songs emphasizes the fact that the album is a stage in their musical evolution, offering a middle ground between the sound of 1985's Steve McQueen and that of From Langley Park to Memphis. The album's promotion was low-key and no singles were released from it at the time (though "Life of Surprises" was issued as a single three years later to promote the group's greatest hits album).
Critic Jason Ankeny wrote of Protest Songs: "It's a wonderful record, but perhaps too close in sound and spirit to Steve McQueen for comfort..." )

DHS to Start Vetting Virtual Fence Contractors by February
November 18, 2011
The Homeland Security Department plans as soon as January to open bidding on a 10-year contract to replace a failed $1 billion border surveillance project, according to DHS officials.
Two weeks after a federal audit lambasted the department's plans for a follow-on project, it announced Thursday afternoon that it will issue a draft request for proposals early next month, followed by a final RFP in January or February. The timeline and some details about requirements for constructing the interconnected towers in Arizona were communicated through the Federal Business Opportunities procurement website. Whereas the defunct Secure Border Initiative network consisted of a one-size-fits-all installation along the southwest border, each new deployment is expected to custom fit the weather and landscape of its surroundings.
The "Integrated Fixed Towers" contract, as described, calls for towers equipped with ground radars and surveillance cameras; supporting power generation; and devices for command and control workstations capable of displaying the captured images and data. This arrangement is intended to provide Customs and Border Protection agents with a full view of any illicit border crossings, drug trafficking or other criminal activity.

This beautiful new 8-sided, 4-colour (red, blue, green, yellow) star puzzle would be a great addition to any collection. The puzzle has a superb movement and high quality stickers.
The Pyramorhix Star rotates on 3 planes like a Pyramorphix and is much more difficult than it first seems. Unlike the Pyramorphix, the Pyramorphix Star is not a shape-shifter puzzle.
The puzzle requires no adjusting as the default setting is absolutely excellent.
At it maximum dimension the puzzle measures 10cm, with its smallest dimension measuring 8.8cm.
The Pyramorphix comes in a plain white cardboard box and is wrapped in bubble wrap to provide protection during transit.
Approximately 0.14 Kg

Group Names Kentucky as the 'Best State to be an Animal Abuser'
By Ryan Quinn & Frankfort State Journal
A nonprofit animal legal rights group has ranked Kentucky, for the sixth year in a row, as the best state to be an animal abuser. The reasons include the absence of numerous laws – such as one making cockfighting a felony – to a statute on the books that prevents veterinarians from reporting suspected cases of animal cruelty without permission from the animal's owner, a court order or a subpoena. "No meaningful change in the status of the law in Kentucky precipitates the same result," said Scott Heiser, an attorney with the California-based Animal Legal Defense Fund, which released the report last week.

This Film's Screening at Toronto After Dark had MANY REVIEWS, read them here.
Relax, turn off your mind and accelerate downstream. It is some thousand years in the future, in a galaxy that appears to have been spawned from a SPEED RACER-induced fever dream, where nothing is more important than racing, and no race is more important than the Redline: a deadly cross-planetary grand prix between the bravest and most psychotic of speed demons, taking place on the surface of Roboworld, whose military government has sworn to exterminate any racer who dares burn rubber on their territory. Featuring a hysterically eccentric cast of characters designed by TAD alumni and KILL BILL animation director Katsuhito Ishii (including character cameos from FUNKY FOREST), a stellar vocal cast that includes Tadanobu Asano (ICHI THE KILLER, MONGEL) and up-wards of 100,000 hand-drawn elements under director Takeshi Koike (key animator on NINJA SCROLL, Dead Leaves and the director of WORLD RECORD from THE ANIMATRIX), this seven-years-in-the-making opus from Madhouse Studios (METROPOLIS, PERFECT BLUE) has so much talent under its hood, one shouldn't be surprised that this film's heart-pumping, eye-melting, cranked-out finale doesn't so much conclude… it explodes!

A Neti Pot is an all natural tried and true way to help with clearing the sinuses and nasal passages. When you are sick with a cold or upper respiratory infection most try over the counter decongestants. Some of these include pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine. Many of these are combined with an anti-histamine which can also make you drowsy. These drugs all have many side effects of which drowsiness is just one. That is why using a neti pot makes so much more sense. Why expose yourself to the unnecessary risk of taking these drugs if you don't have to? Of course a neti pot can also be used as an adjunctive measure as well and can be used in addition to various cold and flu medication on the market.
More Information On The Uses Of The Neti Pot
On this site you will find tons of information on the various neti pots available. Various articles are available discussing how to use one, salt solutions to use and examples of different ones you can easily obtain. If you are unsure if you should use a neti pot you can always ask your doctor, but many western trained physicians are unaware of the many benefits of eastern medicine and may just roll there eyes at you when you mention this method of clearing your sinus and nasal passages.
Before using a neti pot you should take heed that there are some dangers in using a neti pot that you should be well aware of. So, before engaging in the flushing out your sinuses and nasal passages please acquaint yourself with the dangers thoroughly. But, I wouldn't worry too much as thousands have safely and effectivley used this method to help them get over a cold or upper respiratory infections without complication.
It is also important to know that one of the pioneers in using neti pots is the Himalayan Institute which has tons of use information as well. Take a look over the various articles posted here to get yourself acquainted with the intricacies of using a neti pot. It really isn't difficult at all so don't worry if you have never tried one before. I hope you enjoy the information presented here.

Talk about a sloppy cat-fight. Lady Gaga and Sharon Osbourne, and peripherally Sharon's daughter Kelly, are tangled in an epically ridiculous�and convoluted argument �that threatens to make even Donald Trump seem reasonable.
The sad facts are that Gaga has zero sense of humor and Sharon is extremely hostile. In summary, this is what happened. Gaga's fans harassed Kelly.�Sharon, who is�Kelly's manager, privately contacted Gaga's management requesting help in ending the harassment. Gaga herself responded via an open letter to Kelly on her blog site. Then Sharon responded by posting a letter to Gaga on Facebook.
It's all pretty silly.
Let's start at the beginning. Kelly has criticized Gaga in the past, though frankly, none of what she sad was all that bad and the worst of it was several years ago. In 2009, she told The Mirror:
�[Lady Gaga�s] a �Butter Face.' She's got everything but the face … I love Lady GaGa�s tracks but I wish she�d keep her mouth shut. She talks way too much and has too much attitude. It�s starting to make me go off her.�
Obnoxious and unkind, but whatever. More recently, in 2012, Kelly criticized�Gaga for skipping the red carpet at the Grammy's. She�also publicly and incorrectly speculated that Gaga was pregnant … though she didn't directly draw attention to notable Gaga's weight gain, but focused on the change in her style of dressing.
�I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot.�
Presumably as a result of those scathing insults, some of Gaga's fans … blatantly disregarding�their Mother Monster's calls for positivity and acceptance�… were not too nice to Kelly. In October, Kelly told U.K.'s Fabulous Magazine.
"I get called fat all the time. A big fat whore. Lady Gaga's fans are the worst. They've said I should kill myself, that they hope I get raped."
She continued by saying:
"I actually think [Gaga's] a good singer but she has the worst fans in the world and you have a responsibility to stop that. I think you do anyway.�
Evidently Gaga never read Kelly's interview.�A few months pass. Fiercely protective�and slightly batty mother/manager Sharon contacts Gaga's management, gives an example of a nasty tweet from a Little Monster to Kelly, and requests Gaga's assistance in putting an end to it.
"One tweet from Gaga can change this whole situation. … I�m sure she doesn�t condone her fans saying such hideously offensive things."
Mere hours later, Gaga posts a open letter to Kelly on her blog site, which doesn't do much more than prove how egocentric and out of touch she is.�Overall, it's difficult to argue with the sentiments expressed in�Gaga's�letter, but she completely missed the point and her tone is off-putting to say the least. She begins by saying that she wishes Kelly had reached out to her personally, which is relatively absurd since she herself is penning an open letter to post on the internet. At one point,�she criticizes Kelly's TV show,�Fashion Police.
"Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgment, and rating people's beauty against one another. �Appearance� is the most used reason for bullying in the world. Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals.�
She really needs to lighten up. Someone pass her a really big joint. Kelly defended Fashion Poice in the previously mentioned Fabulous article from last October.
�We say bitchy things, but it�s really funny and everyone knows it�s all very tongue in cheek.�
Everyone with a sense of humor, that is.
This is point where Sharon bursts in. Gaga's letter apparently pricked Sharon right in her maternal instincts and she posted her own letter to Gaga on her Facebook page.
"By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker. You know it would have been much more�dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter."
She does have a point. Unfortunately, Sharon couldn't�restrain her fury and�went on to�attack Gaga personally on issues completely distinct from those in�question. If she had�simply and rationally stated her case, she would have been the clear winner.
This spat�is nothing short of ridiculous, particularly the public aspect of it. Gaga's choice to post her open letter was stupid and Sharon's choice to publicly post her retaliatory letter was also stupid, if more understandable. To her credit, Kelly has kept out of the ring entirely, charmingly tweeting:
"I hope you guys realize that I don't care about any of this bullshit!"

Bill, great idea for a talk.
I also love Open Office and I would be interested in
understanding more about what is shared and what is
diverging between the overlapping apps in OO and KDE.
Also, since the Linux desktop project has decided to
abandon KDE because of the cost associated with QT,
would you be able to give an update on what Trolltech
and the KDE team are doing in reaction to this challenge?

The story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland goes back to a boating trip on the river Isis on July 4, 1862. Lewis Carroll, together with his friend and colleague, the Reverend Robinson Duckworth (who was then a fellow of Trinity College in Oxford and later canon of Westminster), took the Liddell children, Lorina, the eldest daughter of the Dean of Christ Church College, Alice and Edith for a picnic. While rowing, he told them the adventures of Alice. On their return to the college, Alice asked Carroll to write down the story for her. He immediately sketched the outline and expanded it during a train journey to London the following day. Over the following two years he would work on the story and its illustrations. In …

It seems to me that asking for a password is about the same as asking where
somethings been hidden, or asking what's in a safe/wanting something from a
safe, except that the 'safe' provided by encryption isn't crackable in a
reasonable amount of time. If they just wanted some records (say, logs of
what that script kiddie that used my box as a proxy was doing) they don't
need my password, just the data.

first of all, if you have your heart set on learning (which is a Very
Good Thing[TM]), get one of those huge books on linux. they all have
sections on kernel compiling. that's where i learned from.
btw, way back when i was a newbie, my kernel compiled ONLY when i had a
picture of linus torvalds taped to my monitor. when i took the picture
off, i lost the ability to compile the kernel. i'm not joking here.
this is the honest truth. you may want to consider taping a picture of
linus on your own monitor before proceding.
also, please read the kernel howto. there's extensive instructions on
how to compile the kernel. well written and complete.
ok, now about your problem at hand. as i said, there's prolly no need
to compile the kernel here. that's what modules are for.
i'm a little behind the times in terms of netfilter (i will be until
they decide to kill the ipchains compatibility), but try this:
first get module dependencies in order by doing:
depmod -a
as root. then install the ipchains module:
modprobe -a ipchains
i **think** ipchains.o on a 2.4 kernel is compatibility layer. don't
quote me on this. if so, you may want to try:
modprobe -a netfilter
modprobe -a ipchains
and if the system complains about not finding the modules, you can go
into /lib/modules/kernelversion/net/whatever and use insmod to load in
the proper modules.

Nicki Minaj Is Beautiful With Minimal Makeup: See the Elle Makeunder! (PHOTO)
Nicki Minaj is renowned not just for her catchy music but also for her audacious style: It's unusual to see the Trinidadian singer without huge eyelashes, neon-colored makeup, and outrageous outfits. But Elle magazine has a notable exception — the "Starships" hitmaker appears on the cover of Elle's April 2013 edition.
"I'm so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it's hard," Nicki tells the magazine. "I feel that it's become a part of me. To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol' crazy lashes — you know, nothing — I felt naked. It was scary! So this photoshoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes."
MTV reports that Nicki was styled by Joe Zee and photographed by Thomas Whiteside for the shoot, and she appears in a strappy Tom Ford leather jacket and American Apparel leggings for the cover photo.
As this Elle spread proves, there really is elegance in simplicity!

Raw, Smackdown and PPV's – no matter the WWE programme at the moment, I find myself going into a state of 'hmm...'
As a Brit, I religiously record my weekly wrestling fix of Raw and Smackdown (and PPV's every month) because they're on when we across the pond are soundly tucked up in bed. Usually, I can't wait to enjoy the feast that's been recorded the night before –
This is a hypothetical card for TLC. I believe it is not only do-able, but has a chance to be very entertaining, and usher in a "new" PG era, much reminiscent of the Atttude era due to the shock value, twists, turns, and above all, the great entertainment we used to know and love. There will be a lot of character development and something to look forward to in the weeks not just before,
